information out there. i know that dieters just love green tea because it supports healthy fat metabolism. that gets everybody's attention. so, what about that? what's the research saying about this? >> yeah, this is definitely one of the things that gets people pretty excited about green tea, mark. we know that green tea has thermogenic properties, and what that means is heat-generating properties in the body. so, it actually causes your body to burn more calories. >> mm. >> you're gonna burn mor calories from a meal as a result of taking a good, well-made, concentrated green tea extract. in addition, it has specific fat-metabolizing properties. and i'm not suggesting that you're gonna lose 20 pounds in a week or any of that. but i am saying this is gonna help your body to more efficiently metabolize fat. >> ah. >> from a weight-control standpoint, this is very good news. additionally, green tea helps to support normal blood glucose, or

direct relationship to healthy weight management. so, when you maintain a healthy blood sugar, it can have a positive effect on weight management, so it's pretty remarkable stuff. and the science is certainly there for overall healthy weight management. >> all right, now, chris. you say that, with purity's formula, it provides you with about three cups' worth of green tea in each two-capsule serving in these cutting-edge liquid soft-gels. so, you get all of green tea's concentrated benefits for energy, for heart health in just two soft-gel caps, plus you get the curcumin and the resveratrol, as well. it's all easy. it's all together right now. you call it your daily shortcut. now, explain this idea of a healthy shortcut and then talk about some of the top benefits here as well, chris. >> well, mark, if you wanted to, you could drink three cups of good, concentrated green tea each day. you could certainly eat at least one large, really rich curry made with a lot of turmeric root, and you certainly could
1:38 am
wine. i mean, people like to do that. but most people aren't going to do that whole combination of things. they still want the benefits of the three big, superstar, protective, health-enhancing nutrients, so when i call this a daily shortcut, what i mean is that you can get, in a capsule -- in a good liquid soft-gel capsule -- what you'd otherwise have to get by drinking a few cups of tea, eating at least one large, turmeric-laden curry, and drinking a couple of glasses of concentrated red wine. shortcut. >> ah. again, we're talking with chris kilham, the medicine hunter. you see him on tv. he's all over the internet. you can google him. you'll learn more. chris, this new green tea cr formula from purity -- really, it's all about the science. it's all about the research. talk to us a bit more about some of your favorite studies and the headlines on curcumin. we haven't gotten to much of that yet. lot of things to cover here on the program. so, let's break it down just a bit. i know it's one of your favorite ingredients for joint comfort

1:49 am
sociologists or pundits or should not sit in new york where the fundraiser was held looking down and making gross generalizations only not about 50% but about people. even people say repugnant things at trump rallies are complicated and they're driven by complicated fears and anxieties to sometimes do beautiful things or other things. the truism that you hate the sinner but not the sinner applies to politics as well. >> we will take a break. we are going to come right back and have this conversation. i state polls in four states. two from the traditional battle ground and two from perhaps an expanded battle ground. later, the 9/11 attacks led to the war in iraq. i will talk to a prominent member of president george w. bush's administration, paul wolfowitz. >> mandy chang.
1:50 am
98,352 what's that? the number of units we'll make next month to maximize earnings. that's a projection. no, it's a fact. based on hundreds of proprietary and open data sets folded into a real-time, actionable analytics model. nine. eight. three. five. two. you're not gonna round that up? you don't round up facts. powerful analytics driving decisions for the world's most valuable brands. hewlett packard enterprise. part of the morning ritual around here. people rely on that first cup and i wouldn't want to mess with that. but when (my) back pain got bad, i couldn't sleep. i had trouble getting there on time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. for pain relief that can last into the morning. ? look up at a new day...? hey guys! now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am.
1:51 am
if we don't solve our debt problem 19 trillion and growing money for programs like education will shrink. in just 8 years, interest on the debt will be our third largest federal program. bad news for small businesses. the good news? there's still time for a solution. ask the candidates for a plan to secure our future. welcome back. more now on the presidential campaign, we have now nbc journal polls from four states and the results pretty much confirm what we've been seeing over the last ten days. this race is getting closer. we'll start with the traditional battle ground state of new hampshire in a four-way race, clinton leads donald trump by a point.
1:52 am
new hampshire, not much difference, clinton is up by two. 39-37. by the way, look at the gary johnson number, the highest we've measured in any battle ground state. 15 in new hampshire. they have a bend to them. next is nevada, clinton by two points, 41-39 but look what happens when you have a likely voter sample, turns into a trump lead. keep in mind democrats won new hampshire in five of the last six elections and taken nevada in four of the last six should be states that favor clinton. let's look at two red states in arizona, clinton and trump are tied at 37 among registered voters. trump is up 30-48. look at the double digits for gary johnson that governed a neighboring state of arizona in new mexico and in georgia, clinton has a one-point lead among registered voters but among likely voters, it's trump who gains. he's at 44-42. it's worth remembering that
1:53 am
clinton won each once. david brooks, i want to start with a column you wrote about this idea of a realignment is coming. politics is catching up to social reality. the crucial social divide is between those who feel the core trends of the global information age economy at tail ends at their back and those who feel them as head winds at the phase and i can point you to this break down in the poll among up 20. among non-college educated voters, he's up 20. >> for the last 20 years, if you look how people is behaved, you can do huge predictions whether they completed college. how often do they vote? how many friends do they have? what's their marriage like. it opens up socially and this is the first election we have seen them reflected in the political polling and so my question and this is really a serious worry,
1:54 am
head winds and that would be the republican party and another party is the party of the tail winds, and that would be the democratic party. suppose the partisan realignment over laps with the close alignment and that to me is extremely problematic for what it is. >> isn't that what we see now? >> this is a profound shift because it's representing the college education. we've grown up with republicans at the high end of the income scale and the leaders in amca this has been turned upside down. i think the big, big issue in this country and this election, cutting away everything else is what david talked about, how do we pull the country back together again? it's separating and going in different directions and there is not been either candidate whose been able to give a city shining on a hill speech like ronald reagan or i have a dream like dr. ken because they are so determined to separate the country and that is, i think, a
1:55 am
future. >> it's going to be like that as long as there is identity based partisanship. i mean, i think we've always talked about the different groups that aligned with the parties, but if you think about social media networks, like the idea you see only the news about the stuff you care about delivered to your phone every day, i think the silos of where we live and the silos of the information we're taking in is actually exacerbating the problem. >> there are so many different reasons that we've ended up at this place. some that we can control, we can't control but i think in addition to the political realignment that's happening, i think that the most pressing issue is whoever wins the white house in november, there is going to be a huge chunk of americans who are going to feel unrepresented and not heard. >> and angry about it. >> and angry about it. >> look at the reaction -- >> very high unfavorables. so the mandate to govern will be very, very difficult and that's something that hopefully,
1:56 am
is it, we got to do something. >> we could have a winner at 32%. everybody is at 42, 43, 48. that's like minority leader government. i think we got to do something about it. mayor rob emanuel of chicago has an idea. every kid that graduates spends some sort of three months in a national service so kids are with kids and just three months would make a difference. >> i thought national service would be a given. we've been talking about national life and i can't believe we're not there. >> i'm involved with a academy of public service. 250 this year. and by the way, when hillary clinton borrows the line from bernie sanders, we'll give free college education to families with $125,000 a year, she ought to say and if you get that, you've got to get with your public service when you graduate or two years. it ought to come with a price
1:57 am
like a government give away. chuck, i think we cannot over state the importance and the effect of social media in this campaign. it's going on even as we speak here and the kind of victory on both sides that's out there and people have a hard time deciding what's real and what's not. >> i want to bring it back to deplorables. against any other candidate against any other year, this is a really fatal mistake for her but have we this harsh rhetoric? >> i don't think people have been conditioned to rhetoric. if they were, then you wouldn't have a whole segment of the republican party that aren't for trump. i mean, what she really was speaking to were those people, republican voters who haven't made up their mind because they are very uncomfortable with trump because of the racist words coming out of his mouth and some of his supporters. >> this is a risk if you make it
1:58 am
a vote for trump is a bad decision and a vote for trump means you're a bad person. and i think this crossed that line and it's hard to unring that bell. >> i think we've seen that a tie goes to trump, if they both have bad weeks, he benefits. he's gotten closer not because he's suddenly great. >> i have to say there was part of this when she did it and i thought marco rubio did this and ted c cruz tried this, when you try to hit him, when you go name calling for name calling and go down to his >> yeah. >> because the supporters know what they will get and i think a lot of people made up their minds. i saw a bumper sticker that said i don't know, 2016. what people need to do is what clinton needs to do is make it so that sticker says clinton kain 2016. >> all right. we'll take a pause here and do a
1:59 am
september 11th commemoration, the paul wolfowitz grew out of the 9/11 attacks. whoa. what's going on here? oh hey allison. i'm val, the orange money retirement squirrel from voya. val from voya? yeah, val from voya. quick question, what are voya retirement squirrels doing in my house? we're putting away acorns. you know, to show the importance of saving for the future. no, i'm more like a metaphor. okay, a spokes-metaphor. no, i'm... you're a spokes-metaphor. yeah. ok. see how voya can help you get organized at voya.com. can't see it. can't taste it. but there's so much more to it. here's how benefiber? works. inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. the prebiotic fiber in benefiber? nourishes them... and what helps them, helps you.
2:00 am
just dream of worri'm linda,hts? and like millions of women worldwide i trust tena. and with new tena overnight underwear i can now sleep worry free all night. the unique secure barrier system gives me triple protection from leaks, odor and moisture so i can keep being a sweet dreamer. tena overnight underwear and pads.

2:02 am
welcome back. 18 months after the september 11th attacks, the united states invaded iraq. u.s. invasion easily toppled saddam hussein. paul wolfowitz was secretary and democrat that returned republican and may feel forced to vote for hillary clinton in welcome, sir. >> nice to be here, thank you. >> i read in an interview you didn't -- you took issue with the architect of the iraq war. why do you not accept that title? >> because i was not in charge. i was not the commander in chief or secretary of state or secretary of defense and national security advisor and more importantly, i thought at the time there was a lot of things that should have been done differently. if you think about it, if we had
2:03 am
if we had that from the beginning, i think iraq would look like a very different place today and history would look very different instead of waiting until 2007, 2008 to defeat al qaeda and iraq, they could have been defeated. >> you were an advisor to jeb bush. he struggled with the knowing what we know question now, what is your answer? >> it assumes everything we know then we know part of al qaeda at the time but merged with al qaeda and the leader is there. we know that now. most importantly, we'll never know what the world would be like if saddam was still in power in iraq. imagine if you had an uprising in iraq like took place in syria, you would have syria on steroids.
2:04 am
assad has been. >> that's a big assumption. how do we know that? saddam -- a lot -- >> it turned out -- >> a buster, for instance, there were no weapons of mass destruction. >> he was deceiving the world on that point. >> that's a big point to deceive the world on. >> not killing terrorists. he was killing his own people on a large scale. he did it in 1991. we saw what he did. i don't think it takes a lot of imagination to respond. we seen what he did. there is a tendency to say it all around the world. if the americans can put a man on the moon, why can't they do x and x is some complicated social problem that's been here for centuries. americans play into that assuming they can solve everything and we're responsible for everything. hillary clinton was actually right when she said a few months ago the united states didn't create isis.
2:05 am
>> there is another theory that says whatever you want to think of the strong man the fact of the matter as soon as saddam hussein was serving as iraq covering up a lot of bad guys, we lifted that rock and all of a sudden chaos ensued. >> he wasn't covering up a lot of bad guys. he was sheltering a lot of bad guys. he had the one perpetrator who the first world trade center bombing at large and iraq. the -- you know, when i said assad helped to create isis, he did it by driving the sunnis into desperation where isis is the only choice for them. these dictators brutalized their societies. they divide their societies after they collapse and eventually they collapse. there is nothing left to stabilize or take its place.
2:06 am
>> not every ditator is like that. i was ambassador in indonesia when the president was the so-called auto cat, or dictator. there was nothing reasonable left in iraq, nothing reasonable left in syria or libya. >> let me go back to this issue. here we are on 9/11. it was mostly saudis that flue those planes into the towers, nobody from iraq. why was that the first action. we went into afghanistan and why didn't we hold saudi arabia accountable? you can make a case a lot mf saudis were funding and fueling these terrorists attacks with saudi money and things like that than anybody in iraq. >> there is a big problem with what the saudis have been doing and i hope people are right when
2:07 am
>> they are harboring terrorists? >> cultivating terrorists but the point is you don't deal with that by going to war. what concerned us about iraq and people want to forget but everybody believes and saddam was doing his best to convince us he had weapons of mass destruction. we knew he had previously had anthrax and he was working on nuclear weapons and made it clear after he was captured he intended to start the programs again once t he was a real danger and that's why there was a focus on weapons of mass destruction and people say after the fact that bush lied and got us into a war, he wasn't lying. he was saying what everyone believed and, you know, i heard some discussions on your previous panel and i -- but i heard remarkable comment this morning by one of the orphans from 9/11 whose father died and the son said 9/11 brought us together. we need to come together as a
2:08 am
>> lying when he was telling the truth. >> some could say iraq split us apart. the followup from the iraq war. look at the republican party today. >> i'm not disagreeing. >> more isolation today. >> i'm not disagreeing with that but if you accuse bush of lying when he was telling what everyone believed -- >> let me ask you this then, who lied? is it bad intelligence? somebody got us into this and somebody convinced the united states congress that weapons of in iraq, which is why so many democrats and republicans voted for this war. >> i think the original liar is saddam hussein who discovered he had more. later, it seems he was lying that he had more than he really did have because he wanted to supposedly deceive the iranians. the fact is every intelligence service in the world, not just the americans, the british, the germans, the french, all believe he had weapons of mass
2:09 am
now concerned that that especially, we were wrong and if you think about the public's lack of trust for government right now, that's one of the reasons. that's one of the things over the last 15 years when you talk about wall street's inability to be truthful and that under mined trusting government. do you believe that? >> look, i think it's done a lot of harm but i think in fact, stating falsehoods like saying bush lied does a lot of i believe if we had a better strategy in iraq from the beginning and if the surge-type strategy was implemented, iraq would look different. >> how many troops would be there? do you think because you've said in the past you thought this is more like a germany and korea situation thanks we probably would need troops for 40 or 50 years. >> the issue isn't how many troops you have but how many americans are getting killed.
2:10 am
muni americans were getting killed. there is a great risk if north korea starts a war. the u.s. can be a stabilizing factor. it's important to understand and i agree the turn in public opinion on the united states is very unfortunate. i think it will bring us more trouble. we're in danger of learning all the wrong lessons from the past. the lesson that intervention is the only thing that's bad. i think we're seeing in syria the consequence is non-intervention. i think we see in l consequence of partial invention. >> is this why you're learning clinton over trump? >> i'm learning against both of them. i find it incredibly disappointing when the country needs to come together and we have two major party candidates that enjoy so little confidence from the american people. >> paul wolfowitz from the bush administration, thank you, sir. appreciate you sharing your views. >> when we come back, a reminder how 9/11 changed us, at least for awhile and how it will still
2:11 am
today. >> first you saw the large flag that was from the top of the pentagon there that was awe inspiring. before fibromyalgia, i was active. i was energetic. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. he also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be
2:12 am
these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica. safety doesn't come in a box. it's not a banner that goes on a wall. it's not something you do now and then. or when it's convenient. it's using state-of-the-art simulators to better prepare for any situation.
2:13 am
2:14 am
welcome back. it's almost become a cliche to say 9/11 changed us. it sparked two wars and heightened security at ballparks and public places and made us all more aware of the threats around the world that many of us face, but for awhile, at least, 9/11 brought us together and made us appreciate shared interests and common bonds and in fact, made it so democrats and republicans simply devaed other. we brought together firefighters, teachers and journalists to tell us how they saw america change and in some cases change right back. >> september 11th, 2001, resulted in us waking up on september 12th with a phenomenal sense of what it means to be the united states of america. i had the sense that most of us
2:15 am
accessible well of resolve, will, strength, character. >> you saw the large flag from the top of the pentagon there and that was just awe inspiring. >> literally, when i got there at 8:00 in the morning, we had people in line waiting to buy flags. >> we crawled before we walked and we walked before we ran. >> no divisions among people. no colors, no politics. >> the leaders in congress stood together, the governors of our states were together. partisanship just seemed to disappear. >> 15 years marks the moment of the country together all but evaporated. >> strong emotions and very strong activities like occurred after 9/11 are hard to maintain. the country seems so significantly divided in a lot
2:16 am
we can continue with the great american traditions we've had for so many years. >> america went from a great sense of being part of the same important fabric of clinging together in times of disaster to political fights and a political system that has encouraged division. >> and we did stand together even though some of us had differences, we put those differences aside and said ?? from engineering and manufacturing... to next-generation fighters... ?? to landing an unmanned vehicle on a carrier for the first time in history. just wait till you see what's next. that's the value of performance.
2:17 am
hey marc, how you feelin'? don't ask. this is what it can be like to have shingles. a painful, blistering rash. i never thought this would happen to me. if you had chickenpox the shingles virus is already inside you. 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. i'm going to go back to the eye doctor tomorrow. it's pretty close to my eye. i don't know how you do it. talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about a vaccine that can help prevent shingles. we thought fibers that help you stay regular caused unwanted gas. not good. then we switched to new mirafiber. only mirafiber supports regularity with dailycomfort fiber and is less likely to cause... unwanted gas. finally. try new mirafiber. from the makers of miralax. i have asthma...

coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for

back now with the panel, tom, i'll let respond first. back on during that interview when we talked about the iraq war and about who is responsible for lying to get us into this war. >> well, lying is a very strong phrase, obviously. i think it's an over interpreted with a wanted to see there. they came into office determined to get rid of some fashion. there is no question about that. but then when 9/11 came along, it gave them the big opportunity to do that. it was unclear about weapons of mass destruction. the u.n. was not certain about whether they insisted or not. i was in iraq twice before the war began. here is what really troubled me. i would be talking to shiite
2:22 am
remember, saddam was. i want to join jihad and fight the united states. what do you mean? you don't come and tell our country what to do. we'll do this on our own. i go into a suke ran by shiite. we don't want you come in here and bringing something that's not been here the last 40 years. so there was not a great uprising that was going to occur when we came in buzz they had been living with him all this time. democratic party arguably 24 years, 25 years to recover from vietnam. to be trusted again with national security and the election of bill clinton in 92. you can argue that really even though carter got in there, it only reinforced the perception democrats can't handle national security. the republican party is still hasn't recovered from the iraq war. >> i agree. the democrats did well in the
2:23 am
>> they did but watergate. >> people remember -- the people -- i think parties recover pretty quickly. what doesn't recover maybe is the position. the position that america should be intervening abroad. there is a sweet spot between too much intervention and too little. we swung from here to here and what is striking about the republican party, it's the party of intervention to the donald trump party of non-intervention. there is now no intervention party and the gap in the world that putins exploit, we have a bipartisan conss involved and that's a problem i think paul is right about. >> she is, because i think that she understands the realities of what it means to be president and the threats that you're facing. but i think you're right, how iraq was handled still has hangover on our policies and our politics today. there was a huge coming together after 9/11. there was support and gathering
2:24 am
afghanistan war and then they started to beat the war drum to going to iraq. there was bipartisan support for iraq. that quickly turned. i remember being with senator kennedy, who was one of the only votes against the iraq war and he said mark my words, this is going to change and within a couple of years it did. look at how much the iraq war influenced the 2004 election. we'll deal with this for a very long time. one of the major questions this week at the commander in chief forum on the iraq war? so it is a -- it's become a symbol of where you stand in this country and how you're going to -- >> it is interesting that is the public. democrats and republicans don't want to accept anybody that says they are for it and stick to it. let me ask this. >> can we challenge the premise? i grew up in the '90s and i don't remember it being a peaceful time.
2:25 am
civic hostilities. we had a ruthless election where you had half of the electret. so i'm having a hard time -- >> they didn't challenge -- they didn't challenge -- the difference is i think we're all concerned. >> yeah. >> that if we have another 2000 election, that you won't see whoever the supreme courts would say is the losing side say okay, we've got to respect the constitution. >> that in fact, because of that election, right? >> because of since then? one other whiplash moment on foreign policy this week goes not just on the iraq war and are you -- republican party but putin in russia. we haven't brought that up. basically what was driving the -- >> it was an astonishing statement on the part of donald trump, especially the republican candidate for president of the united states he embraces a dictator in russia and says he has 82% approval rating, he's
2:26 am
their way to a log somewhere because the fact is he can have any kind of approval rating he wants. he just orders it up. there is real issues in russia. one of my longest friends, long-term friends is a russian scholar that spent a lot of time in the last year and said things have never been worse between the two countries, that's a very ominous -- >> on friday, he lives in new york city because his life is in danger if he lives still in >> that's why. his life is threatened. >> do you think the voters care as much about this putin issue as we in washington do? >> unconsciously. politics is a bad odor around the world. politics stinks. you have to compromise to listen people you dislike but you hedge and fudge and it's ugly and sort of the only way to govern a diverse society but in this world and around donald trump's mind, that form of politics is suspect is on the rise.

extraordinary starts here. new k-y intense. a stimulating gel that takes her pleasure to new heights. k-y intense. back now with the end game segment. there was one more thing wanted to bring up before we get to the nfl and that was a remarkable comment about donald trump, that he made this is the last election that sounded similar to a comment we highlighted last year from michele bachmann. take a listen. >> i think this will believe the last election that the republican haves a chance of winning because you'll have people flowing across the borders. i'll have illegal immigrants coming in and will be legalized and able to vote. once that happens, you can
2:30 am
election armageddon. michele bachmann, rush limbaugh, one idea of one way to rally republicans to his side but a negative rally. >> it's the upside down version of something people talk about the obama coalition and minority groups and becoming the majority and i think the attempt to say this is the last gasp for white voters isn't subtle. >> that was not a subtle >> donald trump and subtlety. >> it's racial. how about like we're going to be over flooded by brown people. how about trying to appeal to them? trying to win over votes. >> undermine voting that voting group to say your votes, they aren't the real votes. >> not to out the age of some people around this table but some people around this table is to remember the republican party was the party of african americans.
2:31 am
son over kennedy. >> dr. king had no better friend than rockefeller for example and if when the candidates started to approach the king family, they said we don't know. andy young said even the maids are white. that of course all changed once the gold water movement takes over. i think the big issue after this election, whoever wins or whoever loses is how these two parties, if they are able to reconstitute themselves as a democrats did with possible anymore in the era of social media and all the divisions that are in both parties at this point. i just don't know whether that's possible. >> so today is the first sunday of the nfl season falling on 9/11. sports was a tremendous unifying in this country after 9/11. particularly baseball and football, as well. it's going to be an unusual day, i think, for the opening of football season, colin kaepernick and his protest, the seahawks are planning.
2:32 am
i don't know what it is, i'm wondering if it's the ali effect, ali's death educated a generation of new athletes to say, maybe i should use my platform differently. >> i hope that's the case. and we saw this happen in the nba. >> yeah. >> last year. and look, i think some good is coming out of this. he's forcing a discussion. his teammates across the league are supporting him and know, real benefits are going to people who are trying to forge change and ensure equal justice. >> can i solute the athletes standing for the anthem? they are expressing faith in the ideas of the country. we have problems but stand in honor of those things. >> we'll make that the last word. that's all we have for today. we'll be back next week because if it's sunday, it's "meet the

? ? there's this pile of leaves and it's where everything else is clear and flat. my smart racing a million miles i was using my boots to move leaves and that's when i screamed this blood-curdling scream. >> a corporate exec who made time for romance and her three daughters. >> she was the best mom. >> then she disappeared. dozens joined the search. >> we need nicky to come home. >> then they found her. >> you can't, baby.

would divide this family. >> i suspected him from the beginning. >> one daughter thought her step dad matt did it. the other said no way. >> it's ridiculous the lies they're spreading. >> and matt? he had a theory all his own. >> this is not the first time she's run away, okay? >> had nicky taken off and found trouble? you're thinking somebody gave her a date rape drug? >> that's a possibility. of camera. >> there was a server with a large amount of data being stored? >> they discovered thousands of hours of tape. >> it was a torture to listen to. >> that would reveal one shattering truth. >> i got down on my knees and started crying. >> i'm lester holt and this is dateline. here's dennis murphy with "the house on sidney's cove."
