7:02 am
9/11 ceremony is forcing her to take a break from the campaign trail. tim kaine heads to ohio today. >> donald trump will be meeting with national guard leaders in maryland and has a rally planned later in north carolina. our latest polling shows that candidates in a dead heat in four more battle ground states in arizona, trump has a 1 point lead among likely voters and a three point advantage in clinton is up by one point. 45-44 in nevada and check out new hampshire, 42-41. a very close race there. we have all of this covered. let's start with andrea mitchell on the story this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning savannah. hillary clinton has cancelled that california trip scheduled for today and tomorrow after her doctor ordered her to rest. as questions are being raised
7:03 am
of pneumonia secret for 48 hours. hillary clinton recovering at home this morning after sunday's health scare. clinton's doctor announcing eight hours after she left the 9/11 ceremony that clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday. news held back from reporters at the time after a prolonged cough in cleveland. >> every time i think about trump i get allergic. >> departing the ceremony early with video surfacing on showing the candidate nearly collapsing. her feet seen her dragging along the ground. reporters covering clinton were left hanging. no details about where she was going or what had happened until a short statement later announcing clinton felt over heated during the event and traveled to her daughter, chelsea's apartment a few miles away. she announced she was on the mend. >> are you feeling better? >> yes, thank you very much. >> greeting a young girl before
7:04 am
home. clinton's doctor says she was put on antibiotics and advised to rest moderate faechl her schedule. she became over heated and dehydrated. 15 months ago, a two page medical report detailing her most serious health issue. her doctor writing in december of 2012, she suffered a stomach virus after traveling, became hospitalized. she required a blood thinning medication that she still takes. she had to take special glasses when testifying about benghazi. in 1998, clinton had a clot, a deep van thrombosis in her leg, prompting this question. >> you had at least two clots. how does that factor into the decision about whether to run for president and all of the flying that that entails. >> it doesn't factor in at all. >> reporter: there is never a good time for a candidate to get
7:05 am
of course, but the way that clinton has handled this has made it a lot worse, especially since donald trump has been trying to make such a big issue out of her health. >> thank you. dr. natalie azar is a contributor. you won't diagnosis somebody watching on tv but i will ask you now that the fact that we know secretary clinton has pneumonia. what were your concerns looking at the video. >> when s pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue, they can get dehydrated and weakened. they're more susceptible to feeling the effects of standing for an hour and a half and having a rigorous schedule. from what we know, the information objectively that we received is that she was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday. on the heels of a very prolonged cough as we all have heard about. and that she started antibiotics. we don't know what kind of pneumonia she has.
7:06 am
she was given antibiotics. we can presume it was a bacterial pneumonia. certain kinds can present with coughing fits and spasms and low grade fever can result in what we call lingering fatigue and tiredness and muscle weakness. >> is there anything about her age that makes a pneumonia diagnosis more problematic or concerning? >> typically as we say with many diseases, the very elderly, frail, and compromisr young are usually could potentially suffer -- >> you would not put hillary clinton in that category. >> i wouldn't, no. everybody involved in this case would anticipate a complete recovery if she takes care of herself. the thing is, again, we do advise, as well as antibiotics. we prescribe rest that that actually means resting and taking care of yourself and sleeping. >> the press was kept at bay for about 90 minutes afterwards, after this incident happened at the 9/11 memorial, the ceremony. she says, the campaign says she
7:07 am
apartment. are you surprised they didn't go to the hospital based on what she had? >> i think, it is a fair question and i think that had there been a documented fainting episode where she actually lost consciousness, that is an indication to be evaluated by a medical professional immediately. if she was feeling unwell and light headed and dizzy but didn't lose consciousness and sort of regained her footing, i don't think it was inappropriate that she went, you know, immediately just to rest and everything like that and as we know, she was evaluated by her doctor a couple oou >> thank you so much. >> another question this morning, of course, is what the political fall out of all of this will be, how it will play with voters. we turn to nicole wallace and mark halpurn. there is the health issue and the political issue. do you think that this is something voters see that piece of video, there obviously has been something of a whisper campaign out there in some circles about is she healthy? does she have issues.
7:08 am
and factor? in. >> barring extra ordinary circumstances, donald trump and hillary clinton will be president. they're older, have been unforth coming about the medical lords and don't believe in a system where the press has access to them around the clock to have the accountability that a president normally subjects them to. all of the issues will be front and center the rest of the way and they will look at both candidates and say do we kno the job. not just hillary clinton but also donald trump? >> let me ask you about the way that the clinton campaign handled this from start to finish. do you believe, beginning, they should have disclosed that she had pneumonia when they learned she had it on friday? >> of course they should have. nobody holds it against you if you get sick but this furthers the idea that the clintons don't come clean about anything, not
7:09 am
donald trump hasn't tweeted about it. donald trump hasn't raged against her. donald trump hasn't called her a name. we are seeing, to me, the most dramatic 24 hour transformation of her opponent since he began running for president. i can't wait to see what his first commence are and if he is able to show restraint. that will mark the most dramatic development in his campaign so far. >> i've been told he did at an appearance this morning at another network and she gets well soon and looks forward to seeing her at the debate. so, mark, stunning. >> this is a new donald trump. >> he had some advisors that said don't comment. be gracious about her health. let that take care of herself. this comment that she made criticizing half of his supporters, that is where the trump campaign is going to focus, where i think trump is going to focus. they think they will do damage to her on the issue of voters trust. >> does the health question linger for hillary clinton?
7:10 am
campaign that will sway voters one way or the other? >> i'm not sure. what lingers for her is now four bad things and the campaign never turns on a single gas. it never turns on one news cycle. she has come out of the labor day holiday with a series of unfortunate mistakes and events. she had the fbi dump of data. she now has this sort of convoluted way of saying she was sick. trouble comes in threes and she is facing a little bit of trouble in terms of managing her own narrative. >> if you were advising the clinton campaign, would you tell them you should be more up front, release a lot of health records, just get it out there. >> well, you know, she should release everything. i mean, she should start her day now talking to her press core. they know the ins and outs of her health history.
7:11 am
talking to her about her health for over a decade. she needs to start, starting today, a much more robust dialogue with the press that follow her about everything, including and starting with her health. >> is that going to happen, mark? >> nicole, don't hold your breath. they don't believe in playing by the normal rules. press is here for fun. we're there to ask tough questions and there to be with them in case something occurs. neither of trump nor hillary clinton wants to submit to the normal rules. the question is, will voters care that they don't submit or more troubled if they do disclose things. we don't know what is in the health records, in the tax returns, i don't get the sense of either of them as anxious to try to win the battle to be the one with the most disclosure. >> thank you so much. we'll have a lot more on all of this in the next half hour. we have breaking news overnight. a fire erupts at the florida mosque where the gunman in the
7:12 am
to attend. officials in fort pierce say the fire was set intentionally. an arson investigator was called to the scene. officials declined to speculate on whether the fire may be related to the 15th anniversary of the september 11th attacks. it was attended by omar mateen who opened up at pulse nightclub in june. now to a school bus crash that left the driver dead and 18 others injured. this happened near the denver international airport on sunday. a bus carryingla coaches of a high school football team veered off the roadway and crashed head on into a concrete pillar. 15 students were taken to the hospital. they have nonlife threatening injuries. most were treated and released. the cause of the crash is still under investigation. meantime, that national anthem protest started by nfl star colin kaepernick picked up steam with more players joining in solidarity. they addressed the issue in an
7:13 am
>> good to see you. as the nation marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11. the nfl kicked off its first sunday of the season, a day filled with patriotism and protest. >> two new england patriots joined the protest. martelis bennett raising their fists after the national anthem. the move comes hours after the members of the kansas city chiefs stood arm and arm show of solidarity. marcus peters raising his right fist during the national anthem. players showing support for colin kaepernick, the san francisco quarterback who refused to stand during the anthem in the preseason to protest police brutality and racial inequality in america. matt spoke with roger goodell about the growing movement around the league. >> i support our players speaking out on issues they

society. we don't live in a perfect society, matt. >> the speaking out, however, is still largely silent at the start of their game against seattle, several members of the miami dolphins took a knee while holding hands over their hearts during the star spangled banner. it was the seahawks that were widely expected to protest. they stood arm and arm in unity. coach pete carroll proud of their players. >> theve to do the right thing. >> there have been financial fall out for players that protest, the latest, denver broncos line brandon marshall losing a key endorsement after taking a knee during thursday's opening night game. >> the nfl protest now having a trickle down effect in south new jersey, a group of high school players on the woodrow tigers
7:15 am
retweeted an image of all of the players that took part in the protest. 49ers play tonight and kaepernick is expected to kneel during the national anthem. it is worth noting, the 49ers made a donation to organizations in the area who focused in on social justice causes. so the team not obviously getting behind some of the kneel down efforts but acknowledging some of what colin kaepernick and the other players have been talking about. >> kaepernick started something. we'll have much more of matt's exclusive interview with commissioner wednesday on tuesday. we go to georgia where the high profile trial of justin ross harris resumes. he is a father accused of intentionally killing hills 22 month old son by leaving the boy in his sweltering hot suv. we're in brunswick georgia. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. because of the pretrial publicity, the judge moved the case from suburban atlanta 300 miles to brunswick.
7:16 am
selection in a case that has riveted the nation for more than two years. from the beginning, justin ross harris has maintained that the death of his son, cooper, was every parents' worst nightmare. >> cooper's death was a horrible, gut wrenching accident. >> reporter: prosecutors say it was no accident. they claim 22 month old cooper was murdered by a man who wanted to escape the responsibilities of being a parent. >> evidence is showing us this whole second life he is living with alternate personalities and alternate personas. >> in dramatic testimony shortly after harris was arrested, police claim as his son lay dying in the swelter suv. he was exchanging sexually explicit text messages with six women. one of them 16 years old. he had researched child deaths in hot cars and life without children. in one online chat, he allegedly posted i love my son and all,
7:17 am
>> it proves motive. he was unhappy in his marriage. he planned to show that he wanted to live a child free life. >> harris pleaded not guilty to 16 counts including murder and child cruelty. a key witness in this case could be harris' former wife, leanna taylor. she remains convinced that her son's death was an accident. >> the defense is going to argue the prosecution zg to prove far more than whether this defendant was an imperfect or even terrible husband. they have to prove that he murderer. >> the defendant is expected to arrive here in just a short time and the trial is expected to last up to six weeks. savannah? >> gabe gutierrez. thank you. dylan is here with the first check of the weather. >> we're talking snow. >> snow? >> not around here. basically above 8,000 feet out towards montana but still it is snow and it is a little earlier than what you would expect. it normally happens late september into october and it is

10 inches of snow. temperatures are certainly cooling off. we have this cold front sliding through, temperatures will be about 15 to up to 30 degrees below average across the rockies and northern plains. we're looking for the snow to continue and pockets of heavier rain along the frontal boundary. ahead of the front, that is where it is warm and humid. the moisture is increasing and we could see stronger storms today, especially through wisconsin and stretching back into iowa, the biggest threats sized hail and brief, damaging wind gusts. that is a look at the weather across your country. your forecast is coming up in just 30 seconds. here you go. here you go. and here you go. buy any five mccaf? beverages and you get one for free when you use the mcdonald's app. here you go. enjoy a mccaf? moment.

we're back now at 7:41 with a case that transfixed the country for nearly 20 years prpt murder of ramsey. for the first time ever, her brother, burke, is speaking out about the case. we brought you some of this exclusive interview with dr. phil mcgraw. a lot of people are asking why he chose to speak out now. >> for a long time media basically made our lives crazy. it is hard to miss the cameras and news trucks in your front yard and we'd go to the supermarket sometimes and there would be a tabloid with my picture, jonbenet's picture blastered on the front.
7:42 am
kind of chaotic nightmare. so i was pretty skeptical of like any sort of media. . like it just made me a very private person. as to why i'm doing it now? it is the 20th anniversary. apparently there is still a lot of attention around it. >> dr. phil mcgraw, good morning. >> good morning. >> how extraordinary to hear him speak after all of these years. and just on the little bits that we've shown on this show, we are hearing from a lot of people saying it is a strange affect that he seems to have. places in the interview where he is talking about rather serious matters. >> it is. there would be dark content and he is smiling. people are going to see this throughout the entire interview, really unusual affect, either smiling or laughing. this is a very socially awkward young man. but understand, from the time this happened, his parents,
7:43 am
either protected him or hid him. however you want to look at that. when you've got reporters at the end of your driveway, he couldn't go to school. even now he works as a computer analyst, in computer security. but he works remotely. he doesn't go in to work every day. he is not around people. so he's not real comfortable in a social situation. so speaking out for him was a very difficult, unusual thing. >> 's one assumes he could have remained somewhat anonymous. did he think that suddenly he was going to be outed? >> he knew this was the 20-year anniversary. and because he was starting to get bombarded, people were finding him, he knew his anonymity was gone. he said he wanted to control the narrative. the story was going to get told. he wanted to tell it. >> this is a comprehensive interview that you do. another clip he talks about what he remembers from the morning that jonbenet was killed.
7:44 am
that morning? >> yep. the first thing i remember is my mom bursting in my room really frantic saying oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, running around my room looking for jonbenet. at that point i was awake. next thing i remember is a police officer coming to my room and shining a flashlight. >> it was still dark whether this happened. >> yeah. i was just laying there. >> what time did she come in? >> early. i don't know. >> it was still dark so had to >> yeah. >> did she turn on the light when she came in? >> i don't remember if she did or not. i do remember the cops coming in and shining a flashlight around so the light must have been off. >> you asked him point-blank -- did you kill jonbenet ramsey? >> i did. i asked him, point-blank, did you kill your sister, jonbenet. i asked him, point-blank, do you believe one of your parents killed her. because there are these factions on the internet. listen, this is the missing link.
7:45 am
is burke. no one has ever spoken. there are these three tapes, tape with the psychologist, two tapes with the police. one -- >> interrogation tapes. >> interrogation tapes. one the parents say was illegally gotten. and we have all three of those tapes and i'm going to show those with him watching them for the first time. so it's interesting to see him watch himself. >> what's his reaction? because here he is. there is a little boy in talking to investigators. >> right. feeling at that time. and he remembers those interviews. we're going to hear him talk -- he's going to make a shocking admission about this mystery footprint that people speculated about so much. >> that was found at the scene. >> right. at the scene. he is going to talk about the incidents of violence of hitting his sister in the head earlier with a golf club. he a going to talk very specifically about that. and he's going to talk and give a very significant answer about
7:46 am
was found -- a bowl of pineapple was found on a table in the house that was not there when everyone went to bed, and pineapple was found during the autopsy in her stomach. he's going to talk very specifically about how that pineapple came to be in his little sister's stomach the night that she was found dead. >> that was one of the forensic mysteries in the case that persists. >> he was the only one there that night that has not spoken. only known person to be there that night that hasn't spoken. >> i know he also has opinion about her participation in beauty pageants. there is a lot to get to. you can see this three-part interview with burke ramsey. it starts today on the dr. phil show. check your local listings. thank you. just ahead, the epic surprise that beyonce helped pull off during a weekend concert. and next, carson has the app problem that had millions of fantasy football players in a

8:03 am
secretary clinton leaving the 9/11 memorial service at ground zero early and without explanation looking unsteady, appearing to lean on a post and clearly requiring support from staffers getting in to her van. late sunday her physician, who examined clinton at her chappaqua home, announcing clinton has pneumonia, a diagnosis the doctor said she made on friday, during a follow-up evaluation of a prolonged to be from allergies. that cough was on display a week ago when clinton struggled to regain her voice during a cam parent event in ohio. >> excuse me. >> reporter: the surprising diagnosis capped a whirl wind sunday, clinton arriving at the 9/11 ceremony appearing to feel fine. >> when i first came up to her, she was as happy to see me and asking about my family and perfectly normal. >> reporter: but after an hour and a half, clinton left abruptly. her campaign leaving the press in the dark for more than 90

had gone to her daughter chelsea's apartment in lower manhattan where she stayed for almost two hours. when clinton emerged, she was all smiles telling reporters she felt better. >> it is a beautiful day in new york. >> reporter: still the episode comes on the heels of recent republican attacks accusing clinton of hiding a serious health problem. donald trump was silent about the incident sunday -- >> i don't know anything about it. >> reporter: -- but has her health. >> she also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on isis. >> reporter: the clinton campaign dismissing the criticism as baseless conspiracy theories. >> his latest paranoid fever dream is about my health. and all i can say is, donald, dream on. >> reporter: this morning, donald trump spoke about clinton's health scare for the first time. >> but i don't know what's going on. i'm, like you, i see what i see.
8:05 am
something's going on but i just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and we'll be seeing her at the debate. >> reporter: campaign officials say they didn't disclose clinton's pneumonia diagnosis on friday because they thought she could power through. they now realize that was a mistake. secretary clinton is on antibiotics. no word on when she'll return to the campaign trail. willie? >> kristen welker, thank you. now to breaking news overnight, a fire that damaged a florida islamic center is being investigated as arson. that mosque attended by the shooting. nbc's kerry sanders is in ft. pierce, florida for us. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, willie. authorities are now investigating what happened here at the islamic center in ft. pierce. indeed, this is the islamic center, the mosque, where omar mateen, the gunman in that ndo pulse nightclub shooting, attended. authorities say while nobody was injured here, it appears to them to very clearly be a case of
8:06 am
security system that shows somebody coming here at around 12:30 in the morning and lighting the mosque on fire. the authorities say that they have the help not only of the local police here, but also they have the alcohol, tobacco and firearms from the federal government trying to figure out who it was who set this fire and whether it is related to 9/11. of course, this is the 15th anniversary of 9/11. at this point they are also noting that this morning is ead, on the islamic calendar, the holiest day as the hajj comes to an end. willie, savannah? >> thanks, kerry sanders. in florida, thank you. in london, a frightening scene was caught on camera. a passenger boat with 150 people on board lost power on sunday and look at this, it slammed into a pier along the river thames. officials say a small fire in the engine room had knocked out

good, right? mmm, yeah. i got your back. lactaid. it's the milk that doesn't mess with you. all right. we are back, it is 8:11. we've got an alert for all parents. according to a new study, many are run intentionally giving their children incorrect doses of liquid medications. it is happening at an alarming rate. show" is here with what we need to know. good morning. this is an important study and i want to talk about it. but donald trump just made news. he said on a cable network that he's going to release his medical records with you on thursday, on your show. is that right? >> well, he's coming on the show. and i know that fitness has become a big issue for the presidential candidates so i've invited both. mr. trump is coming on first. he will be on thursday. i'm hoping that secretary
8:12 am
talking a little bit about their health issues. but because it has come up in such a charged topic, i think it makes sense for both to have a conversation -- i'm not trying to pry or probe -- i'm just trying to hear what's really going on in their lives. >> sounds like he says he will show you the results of his physical. we'll definitely keep posted on that. let's talk about this study that looked at doses of liquid medications. a shocking number at the top. 85% of parents did it wrong in some way. >> the remarkable thing is this has been a big issue for adults the thought that we have that many parents making a mistake is mind blowing. it gets even scarier than this. the reason they are making mistakes is because it is quite complicated to understand. if you look at how often, it's a big mistake. 20% of the time being double dosed. >> too much. that's scary. >> vast majority. but in 21% of cases it was twice the dose you are supposed to give. imagine being given a pill by a doctor, taking two of the pills
8:13 am
question becomes why is it kids are having such a big issue. why are moms unable to keep up with what's happening? >> do we have an answer? >> we do have an answer. turns out, not surprisingly, for moms but for doctors just figuring it out, those one teaspoon, one tablespoon, the cups in particular are a problem. because the cups four times more likely you'll get it wrong versus having a syringe with markings on it. a baby, you use the syringe. i found that intimidating but that's the most accurate method in this study. >> by far the most accurate method. most people don't think about it as part of what they're doing. this study is really important. major associations that help give guidelines to medical manufacturers. don't use the cup. you have to lick the bottom to get the right dose, look at the cup. from now on i want there to be a
8:14 am
emergency. don't rely on a cup or other utensils in your home. don't get confused by mill liters or all these different measurement tools. should be clearly stated which i think manufacturers are going to get but get some of these syringes. i was going to get you some. i couldn't get into a store early enough today. >> come back. i'll take them. i know you will back in the next half-hour with three things that keep women up at night when it comes to their health. big survey by dr. oz. let's go to dyl w >> thanks, savannah. we are at the peak of hurricane season. it's been mostly quiet, but as we go through october and the rest of september we are still looking at the chance of several hurricanes, on average. this is going back the last 100 years. what is going on right now? we do have this invest right now. this is tropical storm ian continuing to develop. we expect it to become a tropical storm at some point today. 98% within the next 48 hours.

8:18 am
thankfully amanda was out of the elevator well before. in all fairness amtrak responded to her tweet within 30 minutes in february making this latest tweet a little more confusing. apparently someone at amtrak at social media saw it again and said, oh, my gosh, are you okay. it was seven months later. >> they are checking in. are you in this elevator? >> but amanda is safe and sound. >> i've been stuck in an elevator. it was absolutely terrifying. it was like 20 minutes of just not knowing what's going to happen next. >> don't tweet amtrak. >> by the way, wendy's making a real good run at it. it's really good. >> you'll love shake shack by the end of this day. >> i'll do that next. high-fashion and millennials have officially collided, everybody. look at new york fashion week. the models -- they walked the cat walk. look at them. they're rocking

8:32 am
temperatures will drop ten degrees below normal. seattle and the rest of washington state, down into oregon, temperatures should run five to ten above normal. then it is more seasonable down in the southeast and also down across most of texas and up into the upper midwest as well. that's a look at the weather across the country. now here is a peek at your window. we got married in june... ...on tunaday. there's a subway? $3.50 sub of the day to help you remember life's important days. every day a different six-inch sub for just $3.50 at subway? every day of the week. her name is teri... ...she was born on sweet onion chicken teriyaki day. thank you so much. as we mentioned earlier, the dr. oz show returns for a new season today with a look at some of the biggest health issues

8:34 am
once in a while. don't always text. maybe meet for coffee. use social media for purposes that allow us to actually connect. >> the next has to do with stress. we know everybody suffers stress. >> why are we stressed? this blew my mind. most people say they are stressed, 75% most worried by terror attacks. 67% by the elections. "today" show i am bringing together mothers of the movement. women who have lost their and women of police officers who were slain. mothers of those police officers. these women come together. their love for each other is so powerful they come together for the first time on one stage. >> that will be an interesting conversation for sure. how do you recommend people reduce stress? >> first of all, focus on stressors you can control. >> when you look at terror attacks, elections --

8:36 am
life threatening problem that you don't want to ever have happen to a chronic illness. sort of like hiv is now a chronic illness but you can live with it your whole life. but you have to ask your doctor. be proactive. >> you have a lot to tackle in this season. dr. oz, thank you so much. again the new season premiers today. check your local listings for time. coming up next, how anna nicole smith's daughter is doing nearly ten years after her mother's death. but first, this is "today" on nbc. we asked u.s. cellular customers to show us all the beautiful places they get coverage with our strong signal. you posted from the seashore. you shared from your hike.
