at least by night's end the two candidates shook hands, something neither of them did dithe last two debates. >> thank you so much. they shook hands right before is. >> we can be officially -- evolves a little bit. i don't want to make too much of but it is intesting to see the dynamic there, nicole. republicans who lost used to sort of restore their personal credibility. it is easyut le?g. fun of ur. one senior?& trump adviser- - i said why did he bond so dly??? he s there are not l of people at trump tower. >> did tyo tmsve a

were republicans traditionally. her punch lines might not have sounded quite as meechblt it didn't have the spirit it traditionally had. >> seems like the crowd was not with either one of them. let's move onto yesterday's big news which was the notion that he was walking back the statement that he would rather accept the results of the election. he said i'll accept them if i

reserving the right to mount a legal challenge if we get there. did that get it done? >> listen, here is the problem. what he said -- we talked about it that night -- all of us talked about it. it was a lifetime moment in america to say i am not going to accept the results of an election. >> did he fix it? >> no. the audience of that debate was so much bigger than anyone had he even if you heard the cleanup it's like a child that smashes all the china and comes back with a teacup. >> at first i thought he was joking then i was wondering, maybe not. >> i call it trolling. he was trolling his critics. he was trolling everybody who got on a case. he knew that phrasing it that way and putting that punch line

you have to decide whether you're going to lose. we all know donald trump can read a poll. you have to decide how you're going to lose. he is going down in a ball of flames. >> thank you so much. have a great weekend. we'll talk to the man in the hot seat last night. let's talk about what he observed including a private conversation that he had. we'll hear what he had to say about that coming raging in iraq. they are within striking distance one day after the first american was killed since the offensive was launched. good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. the pentagon announced that an american soldier was killed here in iraq. he was involved in assisting this operation to drive isis out

but all of the surrounding areas. we have been watching them advance and so far it is moving more quickly than anticipated. >> isis today hilt back with a sneak attack on a government where they exchanged fire with security forces. isis may be trying to slow down the assault on mosul. it doesn't seem to be working. iraqi troops said they within four miles of the city, the isis capital in iraq. the biggest battle was control of the town on mosul's eastern doorstep. to reach the front we climbed into an iraqi forces old american humvee shot up and nearly blown up by isis bombs. iraqi troops brought in their heaviest weapons. isis fought back with suicide

iraqi soldier's ears. we'll win, god willing. isis does seem to be retreating from some of its positions. they showed us a bunker they just discovered. >> be very careful where you step. there is a concern these could be booby traps. >> at the far end we came out into an isis still in the kitchen area, half made bombs, chemicals for more, and on the wall what has become most infamous symbols, the isis logo. isis brutally killed many more iraqis. today it was their turn to have isis on the run. reaching mosul, the isis stronghold, may just be the easy part.

part. the real battle could begin once iraqi troops enter the area. they warned isis has been gathering more than 600 families and is using them as human shields. the american who died has yet to be identified. >> thanks. >> thank you. a contractor charged with taking a huge volume w in federal court today as the government is revealing more about the case against him. pete williams has the latest on that. >> good morning. they call it highly classified information. more than a month since the arrest the fbi says agents are trying to figure out what is there, a process that may take five more months. inside this federal house

staggering amount. they charged martin, a contract employee of the national security agency, with stealing it all over the past two decades. it is an amount of digital information equal to 500 million which would make it easily the largest theft of official secrets ever. it was stolen by edward snowden. a against a known enmy of the united states. some of the classified documents prosecutors say were lying openly in martin's house and in the backseat and trunk of his car which he parked in the driveway. the government wants him held in jail saying if he is released he could be a target for a foreign government because he knows so much. they say he has access to guns and once told his wife he might end his life if he thought it

in a letter to the judge lawyers say there's no evidence and no grounds for deanying him bail. so far all martin is charged with is stealing the material and taking it home. intelligence officials say they don't know whether he passed any of it along to anyone else. >> all right. pete williams in our news room. thank you. confirming another death due to a defective air bag made by takata. a w w civic. it is the 11th known problem with the air bag. it could cause the metal interior to rupture. it topped off the largest auto recall in history. a trooper helped save a bald eagle. check out this dash cam video and you'll see the eagle sitting

can be a little awkwardness, a little anticipation, ithis going to work or not, is this going over the line, is this i tell you what wasn't awkward even thoug we teased abo it, is being vy close to the two of them. i was very moved by the obvious attempt on behalf of both secretary clinton and mr. trump to be courteous, to get along, to say nice things privately to one another. i was very moved by that. that wasuse was there with them, not only at the dias, but beforehand. >> some of the jokes -- in fact there were some boos. that surprise you? >> this is my eighth al smith dinner, lester. the audience is a goo indicator. you can kinof te. sensitivity, first of all something's funny, secondly, if somebody's a bomb. but thirdly, if something is a little out of line. there were some boos last night. the audience more or less accurately, i think, reflects the sentiments that are going

that was your seat in between them. i'm encouraged to hear that you said there was some friendliness among the two. did you try to engage a group conversation? >> let's just say i'd rather be sitting between you two. no, i did. you can tell the two of them are four years i was with er.ne goveor ry and president obama. you could tell there was a little iciness. but the purpose of the evening is to break some of that ice and thanks be to god it works. the al smith dinner, by its natuer i'm sitting there between the two and literally i'm supposed to beind of aepl together. ra tog wereitinbeno d.an afterh< trump turned to secretary clinton and said, you know, you are one tough and talented won. and he said thi a gexpeences wh, as tough as it's been.

ren't funny and they were cutting right to the heart. >> you got something there, lester. so i would find that amity that i just described maybe wasn't as present during the both addresses. here's what we got though. somebody afterwards, a professional entertainersa comedy today in that it is very tough for people to be self-deprecating. when you got -- if you look at the history of the al smith dinner, when you got a guy like john kennedy or a fellow like like ronald reagan, they bring the house down. they are the butt of their own jokes. see in last night, the two candidates, the butt of their jokes was the other person. the characteristic of the evening is self-deprecating, humble humor. and that seems to be a tougher

was obvious last night. for all of us. >> cardinal dolan, sounds like you had quite a private moment with them and we'd love to that spill into the public. on behalf of all the american people. >> i hope it was an example. >> cardinal, thankyou. is there see you soon, i hope. >> our conversation with cardinal dolan a little bit rlie >> let us get check of the weather fm miss lan. >> we were tking abo the winter outlook. noaa hasssued their latest winter outlook for the avercross pst the southern half of the country. little cooler than averan a mi. where it is cold wre looking for a ave sean m. st where it is warmer, it also means a dryer thangeld b for parts of the gulf and down rough texasaybering s you om the ice storms. right in the middle thoughs ert is going to be right about average for what you'd

>> michelle obama gives a speech and everyone loves it. it is fantastic. they think she's absolutely great. my wife, melania, gives the exact same speech, and people get on her case! >> but things quickly took a chilly turn. >> hillary is so corrupt, she got kicked off the watergate commission. >> boo! >> herehe is tonight in public pretending no the to hate catholics. >> reporter: clinton, who sat stone-faced as the audience booed,aking the podium moments later. >> this is such a special event that i took a break from my rigorous nap schedule to be here. >> reporter: but her speech also biting as she swiped trump who prio t running for office was

exclusion of students, with increasing societal safety concerns, the number of adults who attend this event, some in costumes, poses a potential safety threat." although it is not mentioned in the letter, security concerns come amid the national attention to recent clown sightings. >> i guess that's what i would assume. >> reporter: sean prevost has a daughter, a nephew and two nieces at the school. >> i think they're disappointed, but it is one thing that en as parents you have to explain to them the reasons behind it. >> i would say that it is not a bad decision. it is right because, you know, somebody could dress up and can hurt the kids and hurt the parents as well. >> reporter: the school says the costume ban is about more than safety. adding in its letter, "past students have been excluded from participating due to religion, cultural beliefs, and we believe school day activities must be inclusive for all students." >> it was a fun party to have,

that feels excluded and not comfortable coming to school, i think it can be celebrated outside of the school. >> reporter: celebrations still will be taking place at the school. the theme -- fall. some parents worry about not celebrating halloween. >> i think it is a shame that they're canceling it. i think it shows a sign of not wanting to be diversified and learning about other cultures, about people's traditions. >> reporter: 8-year-olds riley and melina already picked out their costumes. >> i think it really stinks that they're canceling hi really liked marching around and i had a really cool costume this year. >> nbc news reached out to the school district for comment. officials did not provide one beyond the letter we read there. another connecticut school attempted to ban halloween last year infuriating parents, and that decision eventually was overturned. a lot of schools are say nothing clown costumes because of the news stories we've seen. >> willie, thanks.

attendance at movie theaters is at a 19-year low, down 15% in the last decade. increased competition from on-demand streaming services, on top of the dropping price of high-quality home entertainment centers, also added to the dramatic decline. so now movie theaters are rolling out the red carpet to win those customers back. >> we took something that was very ordinary and turned it into a real extraordinary experience. >> reporter: this is the ceo of 15 luxury theaters nationwide that are doing something very different. >> you have a kitchen in your house. you still go out to restaurant. movies are the same thing. the reason that we stopped going to the theaters was because the experience wasn't good enough. >> reporter: how is he luring them in? customers at his theaters expect flat-bed seats that rival a first class flying experience. a chef serving farm to table

back now at 8:44. sounds like a football game breaking out. but "today food," we're getting for sunday night when the seattle seahawks face off against the arizona cardinals here on nbc. >> matt is officially neutral wearing both jerseys at the same time. >> take a stand, man. >> exactly. executive chef of pig beat chair in new york. you have a great recipe for the game.

represents seattle. it is about a five-pound chunk. start with the rub. all good barbecue starts with a good rub. onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and coffee. i'm using instant coffee because it doesn't leave that grit. dump that all in the bowl and mix that up. >> i think i am up for that task. got it. >> just do a real quick mix it. >> almost as good as i type. take our rub and sort of generously put it all over our meat. both sides, all the corners and whatnot. then transfer it. we're going to do this at home in an oven and at 250 degrees. we're going to do both sides. give it a good flip. make a little bit of a mess. got that coffee, onion. garlic. nothing better to wake up in the morning to.

we're going to cook this at 250 degrees. it is about generally speaking an hour per pound. this is a five-pound brisket so it will take about five or six hours, low and slow. but the patience is what pays off in the end. once is gets to internal temperature of 155 degrees, wrap in foil and get it to 190 or 200. overnight let it rest. >> oh, my gosh! >> this is the good stuff. >> we got our tasters downstairs. >> i hope they're hungry. >> it is so good! >> it has such a nice, smokey flavor. >> take all of this, dice it up and move ourselves down to the next segment. >> what's next? >> this is where the magic starts to happen when we make the chili. we are starting with an incredible cut of meat with all this flavor already in it. in our pan, start with a little bit of bacon. bacon just makes everything

and crispy. next step is add in chopped garlic. we will cook the garlic until it is nice and aromatic. add in the rest of the onions and cook until they're nice and soft and tender. this is the smell to wake up to in the morning. best thing ever. forget about it. in this pot we have the bacon, garlic, onions all cooked down really nice. next step to making chili is good tomatoes. we're just going to pour these right like getting back to my italian roots for making what's a really great tomato sauce. couple tablespoons of

oregano, cumin. let this simmer for 30 minutes. >> does it have a kick to it. >> i generally leave my chilies more on the milder side, mass appeal so everybody can eat it. but if you want to make it spicy, add diced jalapenos or other hot chili sauce. we see our chili and tomato has come nice together. smell that. just smells like great chili. we did to get all those flavors and spices to come out. now we add in all of our diced brisket meat. >> you got black beans there. >> some black beans. yes, sir. little black bean brisket coffee brisket chili. this will simmer another 15, 20 minutes to let all those flavors come together. then you are left with a delicious play on a brisket coffee chili. i just like to simply garnish it with a little dab of sour cream

bring out all that flavor. >> that's our seattle. we cannot leave my home state of arizona out. >> the home of the chimichanga was invented. >> mix together pico de pan fry it. that cheese gets gooey. >> tasters, what do you think of the chimi? >> fantastic! we are so happy. >> it is crispy. >> this is amazing. >> my favorite words of all. >> i got to try this. thank you so much. matt, thank you. restaurant is called pig beach.

we're back at 8:51. this is a pretty shot of the rink at rockefeller center. open for business for another season. which brings us to our next guest, scott hamilton. >> scott's here to tell us about u.s. figure skating's new campaign and a big competition this weekend. >> nice to see you. >> this is called the get up campaign. tell me about it. >> the first thing i learned in my skating academy, going to fall. so get up. it's become kind of this thing in my life, you fall down a lot, get knocked down a lot, you get up. it is kind of great because it really speaks to everyone. how many people in this couch have failed? there you go. but it is getting up. we all get up. we all get up. so it's a great thing to not only promote u.s. figure skating, but it is also a way to bring everybody in to say what was your get-up moment. >> yeah.

helping you out with this initiative. >> it is the entire skating community is all part of this. they got competition season starting up again soon. and everybody's getting ready for the last year before the next olympics. it's a big deal. >> i love your motto. not only does get up work for small things like just having an attitude issue, it also works for big things. we know you were battling at one point you battled cancer and you're stronger than ever. that works for both things. right? >> i have this unique illness. it's not just the get up, it is how you deal with the get-up. what do you do next and how that empowers you. if you have cancer and you survive, a part of you has been awakened that is kind of more aware and you know what you are capable of doing. you're almost more awake, more alive than you were before. so the get-up campaign i think is really important because i think everybody will relate to not only get involved and look

my get-up moment and how did i get past it. what did i do next. >> before we let you go, have you a big competition this weekend. >> this weekend in chicago, skate america. the big rivalry in the u.s., gracie gold and ashley wagner will go head-to-head. return of jason brown. he sat out last season with an injury. but by all accounts, he's going to unveil his two quads. we'll see how he fares going into thias >> how exciting. >> i can't believe we're almost a year out to the olympics? i was looking at the calendar the other day. >> i just got over jet lag from sochi. come on! already? now i got to go all the way to korea. >> thank you so much, scott. >> always great seeing you. for more on the get-up campaign, check out wegetup.com. catch the progressive skate america tomorrow at 4:30, and sunday at 12:30 eastern on nbc. but on sunday, you have to

thing in the morning. >> we're obviously going to be all over the presidential campaign. in this campaign though i don't know what that means because that's 48 hours from now. who knows what's going to happen. we also have a conversation with anthony bourdane. i went on a walking tour of his food world. >> anything you've had on the show like, good god, never gun? >> yeah. they do this funky fermented fish in iceland. it's just -- it's just a hazmat yeah? >> that's good. >> i'm eating tongue with anthony bourdain. >> anthony ordered for you. he says we're having tongue tacos. who's going to say no? it wasn't bad. if i didn't know it was tongue, it would have tasted like chicken. >> it never taste like chicken. >> he also reveals his favorite fast food. he goes into a fast food restaurant in disguise. people don't know he is eating fast food.

>> that's like a tease. >> what do you have coming up next hour? >> they're working on it. dylan is with me. christian slater. and it is "freebie friday." you at home can win.
