back on track for tens of thousands of passengers. destroyed. an iconic landmark tipped over. the incident caught on tape and the search is on to track down those vandals, "today," september 6th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. tuesday morning. it's september 6th. it's after labor day. i want to tell myself there's another side to that story with those people knocking over that ancient rock sculpture. >> if our show can accomplish one thing today maybe that tape will help authorities figure out who those people are. we'll tell you more about that coming up in just a while. hard to fathom.

just 63 days to go now. hillary clinton and donald trump locking into a fierce battle to the finish beginning the post-labor day push by barnstorming key battleground states. we have it all covered. let's start with national correspondent peter alexander. good morning. >> good morning to you. here we finally are post-labor day. alas the start of the homestretch. this is where things stand this morning. our brand new nbc news survey monkey poll shows this race is effectively holding steady. clinton maintaining a six-point lead over trump. as candidates and allies furiously fight for every last vote. just 63 days to go for hillary clinton and donald trump. no time for a holiday. new this morning, the latest nbc news battleground map shows despite narrowing poll numbers, clinton retains a significant electoral advantage over trump. monday the two converging on the key state of ohio. the planes sitting just yards apart. >> i am so happy to have all of

unwilling to answer reporters' questions, for the first time she invited the press on her newly decorated plane. expressing serious concern that russia is tampering with the u.s. election to help elect trump. >> we never had a foreign adversarial power be already involved in our electoral process. we've never had a nominee of one of our major par u russians to hack more. >> trump also briefly allowing reporters onboard his jet adding uncertainty to his immigration plan, refusing to rule out granting legal status for undocumented immigrants. >> we'll make that decision into the future. >> kicking off a fierce final two months of campaigning for team clinton, it's all hands on deck. joe biden and tim kaine together in pennsylvania. former rival bernie sanders in

clinton on the trail in detroit, michigan. after a few weeks of fund-raising, hillary clinton is back to courting voters. joking about a coughing fit. >> every time i think about trump, i get allergic. >> trump's campaign manager pouncing on twitter. must be allergic to media. and now to the media and just as pam bondi was investigating trump university for fraud. >> she's a fine person. never spoke to her. never. >> bondi ultimately chose not to investigate. the trump campaign says the money was a clerical error. trump and his allies are making pay to play allegations against clinton arguing there was an improper relationship between her state department and clinton foundation. clinton again this weekend

the candidates face their first true face-off. the first of the three presidential debates now less than three weeks away. trump will be there. matt and savannah. >> thank you very much. let's dive further into what clinton and trump are planning for the final stretch. nicolle wallace and mark halperin join us. well rested. looking good. let me start with you, mark. what does he need to focus on over the next 63 days. what does he need to avoid? >> focus on making the election about change and the economy. have a great first debate and start running tv ads in some of these states. he needs to avoid having focus on him over the flaps and controversy he creates on a regular basis. >> how would you answer the same question, nicole? >> he needs to be more normal. he's been a weird political figure.

the campaign spends more days on offense which is attacking the other side which means that campaign almost always wins. he has an opportunity to be on offense because there are -- the electorate has questions about hillary clinton's judgment. and there is the fbi in the news about dumping the investigation of the server. he instead got himself embroiled he cannot resist the temptation to take a cheap shot at other republicans. >> let's switch over now. hillary clinton and her campaign. what must she focus on and what must she avoid? >> she has to undermine any sense that people have that donald trump is a safe choice. people want change. what they don't want is risky change. she needs to relentlessly point out to this guy that he's not prepared. she also has to sell herself and what kind of president she will be. she needs to avoid errors that highlight people's lack of faith in her that she would change things and that she's

>> i'm drafting behind matt's question. >> that's obvious today. >> i have a mananiacal job. i have an obsession with the first debate. she's done a really good job painting him as a little bit of a lunatic. and if he seems milder than what she's told people he would be like, he could succeed simply by reading the phone book in a mellow voice. caricature him to a point where he takes the stage with her and looks, you know, normal. >> do you look at these debates as a huge inflection point? the media always hypes the debates. this time it's true? >> these will be worldwide events. this campaign is the o.j. simpson trial of political campaigns. the first debate will be the kaelin testimony. i think these debates will be the moment where the public

any benefits by low expectations? >> he does. the clinton campaign is concerned about this. they are worried if he shows up and doesn't drool on himself, it will be a huge win. he needs to come to the first debate and reassure people that he's a plausible person the american people can be proud of. that's what he's trying to do. a look at his whole life. >> i don't know why i always love the swallows returning to capastrano, but i do. congress back in session after a long recession. one of the topics we're going to hear about in the coming months or weeks is the possible shutdown of the government again. how might that play into the campaign, the race, nicolle? >> i think this whole republican side of the race at least was about outsiders. i think to the degree that the men and women in washington look like typical gridlock insiders, i think that could serve trump's interest.

they don't like the way washington works. if washington looks dysfunctional and he says i can fix it and she can't because she's part of the problem, that would be an advantage for him for sure. >> nicolle, mark, thank you. a reminder tomorrow night both clinton and trump will take part in our special live prime time forum from nbc news and iraq and afghanistan veterans of america. the focus, issues that would confront them as commander in chief. you can see it at 8:00 eastern here on nbc and msnbc. in the meantime, trouble from hermine is far from over. the storm that caused trouble over the holiday weekend is lingering over the east coast and another day of rough surf is on tap. let's go to al. he's got the latest. good morning to you. >> this video you're looking at is from a beach house that caught fire and the winds there along the rhode island beach so difficult for the firefighters to fight. you can see the trees blowing. this house a total loss. thankfully nobody was at home. we'll deal with winds like that again.

help clear millions of bombs that did not explode. the president here as laos hosts a summit of southeast asian nations where mr. obama abruptly canceled a meeting with the philippine president duterte after a vulgar insult when he thought mr. obama would criticize for thousands of killings of drug lords since duterte came to power. today through a spokesman, he apologized. for president obama in china where he locked horns with russian leader vladimir putin, an intense 90-minute face to face over syria. perhaps their last while obama is in office. the two unable to agree on a cease-fire. here in laos while attending the summit, president obama will visit a relief agency that helps victims of the bombings. the government in laos says it will help step up efforts to help find remains of u.s. troops.

>> all right, ron. thank you very much. breaking overnight, a travel nightmare for tens of thousands of british airways passengers. a computer failure led to long lines and hours long delays at airports around the world. employees had to manually check in passengers at airports from seattle to chicago. it delayed dozens of london-bound flights. passengers used social media to complain and reach out to the airline for answers. there was still some delays at london's heathrow airport this morning and british airwayis encouraging customers to check-in online before they reach the airport. lawmakers go back to work on capitol hill today returning from a seven-week recess. they have a long to-do list. one thing that congress has to do in the coming months, pass legislation that would prevent a government shutdown. both chambers will have fewer than 20 days to complete the work before taking off for their month-long election season recess.

and that's really important when you have kids rushing off to activities after school. >> it really has everything. it has vegetables. it has protein. we're doing it with sausage. you can pick any sausage you like. i like a mixture of hot and spicy. spicy and t. >> let's look at the ingredient table. we have cheese over there. >> parmesan because everything tastes better with parmesan. a cornbread topping that's the basics of the top and i put kale in it. i don't think your kids are going t- you can use different kind of sausage? >> you can use turkey. you can use chicken. you can probably even use tofu. we are using pork sausage today. you put a little bit of olive oil in a skillet. you're just going to brown the sausage. you want to cook them through because there's not that much time in the oven. you take them out and all you have to do is slice them.

fork. you should have no other utensil needed. once you take all of the sausages out and slice them, why don't you add the onion and garlic so it's onion and garlic and saute those. you just want them to be sauced. not brown. for kale i'll derib the kale. you take out the rib because it really is the stalky portion and you don't want it. and then you just chop t no real size to it. again, this is just meant to be very basic and easy. you then once the onions are softened, you'll add the kale. that just takes about two minutes or something not even. you'll move that around. then you'll season it with a bit of salt. >> let me interrupt. we have people downstairs. they are now doing the taste test. >> unbelievable. >> there are no words. >> i love you. >> everything you need.

winter down the line. >> you said there are no words. she took it as a compliment. >> we understand each other. she knows. >> it has all of the good foods in it. i add sausages back in. heat that up. we'll cut that because we'll go through magic of television. we'll make cornbread top. you take milk. put it beat that up. you can add that parmesan cheese. that's good. okay. it's all going together. this is just -- you add wet to dry. okay. and then you just mix that up. so that is a cornbread box mix. you can buy jiffy. it's like 79 cents. mix all of that up and then that through magic of tv we have

>> if that were mixed we wou put it on there. >> that's mixed. it's fine. we're good. we'll put that on top. you're just going to spread it over. again, don't -- this isn't fussy food. just get it done. >> anything better than cornbread taste right next to sausage. >> i think a beer would be good with this. >> cornbread meal in a bread bowl. >> beyond >> elizabeth was nervous. >> home run. >> i've been on the show so many many times and i don't know if you're going to like it. >> savannah just beat the world record for eating the fastest meal on a show. >> let's wish elizabeth a happy birthday. >> for this recipe and more head to today.com/food. we're back in a moment.
