but we want to talk with nbc senior political editor mark murray about this. all we have been inundated with all summer is the gop and all their characters. >> uh-huh. >> how important is this for the democrats? some of them we don't even know are even running. >> well, that's right. you knows, i've actually covered now close to 100 presidential debates. the general election and primaries. they normally don't matter all that much at the end of the day. but this one does have really big stakes for everyone involved. first we talk about hillary clinton with joe biden potentially waiting in the wings. she needs a really good performance. october is such a big month for her. debate, the benghazi committee testimony. she needs a really good performance. bernie sanders needs to demonstra demonstrate he can be electable. he's more than just a person drawing big crowds, built potentially the last going into the general election in november 2016. >> even with his socialist -- >> that's what he's going to have to answer. you talked about the local politicians, jim webb,

joining me live now, nbc news senior political editor mark murray.ark, let's pick up here with jason chaffetz. congressman, of course, potentially getting some steam but now jon huntsman has come after him and not painting a flattering picture of him. >> tamron, this is your debate pretty much. you have current house majority leader kevin mccarthy going toe-to-toe with house republican jason chaffetz. to me, what's most interesting is the timing on the leadership in the speaker race for republicans. it's now going to be october 29th. in some ways that's not good news for kevin mccarthy because those three additional weeks give opponents a little bit more time to make the case against mccarthy. i do note the timing of the benghazi committee's very interesting. october 22nd is when hillary clinton testifies before that benghazi committee. if she's able to use kevin mccarthy's own comments as a shield in that testimony, you might have a lot of upset and angry house republicans that they weren't able to score a lot of points. so i think what ends up happ

. >> joining us now live from boulder is nbc news senior political editor mark murray. mark, does donald trump have to be worried about ben carson? would you call this a mini surge on carson's part? >> reporter: yeah, jim. i actually do think he has to be worried. if you live by the polls sometimes you have to die by the polls, and you listen to every stump speech that donald trump has given over the last three or four months and it is all about him ended up leading in the polls, look how i'm leading the field in iowa, new hampshire nationally. what ends up happening all of a sudden when you aren't leading in the polls in iowa and now nationally in this brand new "the new york times"/cbs poll. jim, one of the big story lines is donald trump losing ground. maybe your new front-runner is ben carson. >> mark, what if you're one of the other gop candidates, what do you have to do to get traction or at least some airtime right now? >> reporter: yeah, you know, wendy, i actually think this is a big high-stakes debate for all the candidates. you know, we talked about donald tru

want to bring in mark murray and john nickels, washington correspondent for the nation. mark, let's start with you for the politics and pick up on what kristin was saying. joe biden trying to decide whether to run for president. he is going to be for this thing and hillary clinton comes out and says she is against this thing. is she sort of boxing joe biden in a little bit? >> kristin was just right in her analysis and nailed it. it protects hillary clinton for her left flank particularly against bernie sanders who is giving her a run for her money more than we thought two or three months ago and then the joe biden factor. he as the sitting vice president would be the only major democratic to end up supporting the tpp agreement. there is one other calculation important to note is that this helps her solidify her position with organized labor. we have seen some groups starting to endorse her. this helps her in that regard. it is important to note that this might be short term winner for her and smart politics might have longer term consequences. this kind of opens her up t

joining me now live, nbc news senior political editor mark murray. let's have an honest conversation here. i think a lot of women have had this conversation, one, about the likability and a sensitivity of it being posed as a question to a woman. also if our earlier part that the male candidates on the stage might be sensitive to appearing since it is 2015 that they are bullying hillary clinton, a highly successful secretary of state in many ways, senator, the list goes on and on and on. are we stuck in a bubble when it comes to gender and with her being the only female on that stage as was carly fiorina? >> tamron, think this is a pitfall for some of the other male democrats on the stage tonight is going to be a striking image. you're going to have hillary clinton, the only female joined by four white men. as that clip that you played of barack obama when you mentioned that hillary clinton is likable enough, that comment landed him into hot water. the timing is important to note because that was after his iowa caucuses win and certainly right before

joining us from colorado, the site of the big debate, senior political editor mark murray.lay what paul ryan had to say about this deal. let's play it. >> i haven't even seen this agreement so i'm going to reserve judgment until i see something on paper. if you want to ask me what i think about the process, it stinks. under new management, we are not going to run the house this way. we should have been discussing this months ago as me believes for a more coherent strategy and in the future we need a better process than the one working to do the people's business the right way. >> mark, your reaction to that? >> tamron, this is the process normally plays out on the type of deals and john boehner ended up saying that this process was very similar to the deal that paul ryan cut with democratic senator murray just two years ago forestalling a budget situation and so sometimes you have to work behind closed doors and only way to make things work and paul ryan promising things to be different, well, i heard house speaker john boehner make the promises in 2010 and time and time ag

let's talk about it with nbc news senior political editor, mark murray.e was a chance for donald trump to go after another rival which he's already done with carly fiorina, he's done it with marco rubio, jeb bush. but instead he tweeted out this -- ben carson was speaking in general terms as to what he would do if confronted with a gunman and was not criticizing the victims. not fair. your take. >> well, yeah. we're seeing donald trump actually come to ben carson's defense here, tamron. it is important to take a step back. when you're looking at the issue of gun control, this is now a fundamental difference between the republican and democratic parties, almost as fundamental as taxes and abortion in which although republicans on one side and all the democrats on the other. now ben carson has ended up getting some flack from people on where people think he was actually being insensitive to the folks who were in that situation, ben carson, that they're taking his suggestion that of course those people should have rushed the gunman. that's kind of an easy si

here to handicap it, nbc news senior political editor, mark murray.andicap but again, so often people see this as a sport and of all places it is in vegas when as congressman meeks was just on, saying this is real life and this is an opportunity for example bernie sanders as he said on "meet the press" to not go on the attack but present distinctions in what he believes he can offer. >> that's right. policy does matter the most. what they are going to end up saying on the debate stage, the promises they make are ochften e ones that are acted upon when you're in the oval office. that's so important. but when we look at the horse race and game inside the debate, it is pretty clear that all eyes are going to ebeing on hillary clinton. the last three months have been very, very difficult for her as she's been bogged down in the e-mail controversy. whether or not joe biden was going to be able to run. people focusing on her poll numbers. october allows her to kind of reset the page, whether it is this debate, whether it is her benghazi testimony on october

joining me live now, nbc news senior political editor mark murray. let's just talk about how remarkable this is. yesterday you have kevin mccarthy surprising everyone, even though there are a few pundits who said that they kind of saw this coming, but in reality, no one really did, other than kevin mccarthy. he says, you know, i'm out of this, i'm out of this race this morning. paul ryan indicating that he may think about it over the weekend after the interview with luke russert saying no, and now we are back to i am not in this, i am not running. >> tamron, it's remarkable. and you might be able to look at that statement that paul ryan's office ended up giving our nbc's alex moe on capitol hill and say, you know, maybe if you look at it, i'm still not running, that maybe there is a little bit of wiggle room. but i think we should take it at face value, that if he really wanted to be speaker of the house, he would have put out a statement saying i'm carefully considering this or i've decided to throw my hat into the ring, and we haven't seen anything

joining me now to talk about it, nbc news senior political editor, mark murray.bout what will happen today with the house gop in this conference vote. >> yeah, tamron, it's important to understand is our house producer, alex moe has pointed out that today's election is just on the republican conference side. this is essentially republicans' nominee to be the next speaker. october 29th is when the full house, democrats and republicans, will end up selecting the next speaker. you'll need 218 votes for that, if all house members end up voting. today the winner just needs 50% plus one of the house republican membership, more than 240 republicans. it's expected that house majority leader kevin mccarthy, the current number two, will end up getting that 50% plus one. but, of course, i think a lot of us will be waiting to see how close does he end up getting to the number 218 for the october 29th vote? because as you know, if there are a sizeable number of house republicans, some 30 or so, that would make getting to 218 very difficult. >> and pushing a lot of the fire, t

we'll go into detail with mark murray in a bit. >>> today is the funeral for an elderly man who died after a struggle with security guards. 74-year-old james mcbride was a patient at washington hospital center earlier this month. he died two days after guards restrained him for trying to leave the hospital. his neck was broken but it's unclear why he died. >>> the prince william county police department says a fellow officer's death is not suspicious. officer pina's body was found yesterday morning in independent hill. he cared deeply for his family, friends and fellow department members. >>> new developments about a deadly plane crash in florida the plane crashed into a trailer park near palm beach. it hit two mobile homes. look at the damage here. the ntsb is holding a news conference about the crash right now. they confirmed two people died. kerry sanders will have more on the crash and how it happened coming up in the next half hour. >>> and just into our newsroom, volkswagen's troubles may just be beginning. what they just revealed about the scandal that already has them in seri

>> joining me now live, nbc news senior political editor mark murray. mark, good morning to you. >> good morning, tamron. >> let's start with this new news regarding jeb bush and staffers being notified regarding pay today. what do we know? >> yeah, tamron, so our nbc embed who's been following the jeb bush campaign, jordan frasier's been able to confirm an article that first reported in bloomberg news that the bush campaign is slashing its salaries dramatically, all with kind of a recognition that they have some belt-tightening to do because the money that they thought was going to be coming in necessarily isn't coming in on the campaign front. and tamron, this is a very big make-or-break moment coming from jeb bush and his campaign and next week's cnbc debate on wednesday. jeb bush now finds himself in single digits in iowa, single digits in new hampshire, despite the fact that his super pac, right to rise, has been outspending every entity on the airwaves in those two states. and so, jeb bush has to have some type of moment to turn his campaign around

nbc news senior political editor mark murray in the washington bureau following the back and forth herean we make of this? >> well, craig, i actually think it's preview of the next three or four months to see and i think people often thought that the battle for the republican nomination at least on the establishment front was going to come down to jeb bush and marco rubio, particularly after scott walker dropped out of the republican presidential race. and yes, as you mentioned in the intro, these are two people who are close friends. marco rubio is a former protege of jeb bush's, both from florida. they know a lot of the same people and very possible and very likely that the republican nomination will come down between the two of them and as we have seen marco rubio on the move up, jeb bush on the move down. >> highlight also, mark murray, you think jeb bush is in this race for four months, as well. thank you, sir. enjoy the weekend, sir. >>> continues to be uncertainty about how the republican debates themselves are going to work moving forward. at least ten of the republican presiden

nbc pea lit call analyst mark murray tweeted if you were joe biden and you were waiting for clinton to mess up to get in, you didn't get it at all. nbc's white house correspondent kristen welker will talk about biden's potential run and how the debate affects it. that's coming up on "today" after "news 4 today." >>> donald trump took a shot at the whole pool of candidates. he tweeted, quote, all are very scripted and rehearsed, two at least should not be on the stage. jeb bush tweeted, if you think this country is on the wrong track, hillary clinton just told you she has no interest in changing direction. i sure will. governor mike huckabee had possibly the strangest reaction. he tweeted, quote, i trust bernie sanders with my tax dollars like i trust a north korean chef with my labrador. donald trump will be in virginia later today. the republican presidential front-runner will hold a campaign at the richmond international raceway. in a statement he said he expects 10,000 people to show up for the event at 7:00 tonight. trump is the second gop presidential candidate to visit virginia's

political editor mark murray is going to join us now. what is in this deal? >> well, jose, this deal is to be able to have a debt limit increase, and of course sh, a a possibility that you were going if be seeing another battle, and c crisis over increasing the debt limit. that was increased, and the biggest part is that this sets the budget parameters and wiped away parts of the e se kwqueste and that is some of the big budget fights that we have had over the last couple of days, and increases in the military, and nonmilitary spending. so this is going to be setting the budget parameters over the next few years, but there is one potential fight that might end up in december when congress wants to pass the appropriations bills of how to spend the money under those prarameter, and one of the the potential conflicts is that congress' way to spend the money might have some riders that president obama might not like, which would set up a potential veto. so we have to wait and see as it comes december, and it look s like now there is a winddown to the obama era, a

. >> want to bring in nbc news senior political editor mark murray. good to see you here.ok at the nbc polls out of new hampshire. you have bernie sanders perfo performing better than clinton against several republicans. he loses to none of them. meanwhile, she can only beat donald trump. and barely here. so when you consider those numbers and especially, you know, she was there for that town hall meeting in new hampshire, how's it affecting bernie sanders' shot at the nomination? >> well, you know, frances, we have a long ways to go not only to the general election november 2016 but also to the iowa, new hampshire contest four or five months away from now and i would argue that right now we are starting to really see crunch time an i'm glad you end up having both the clinton event in iowa and the bernie sanders event in d.c. on capitol hill because this is the time of season. and i think the best way to look at the man to man, hillary versus bernie sanders, contest is that hillary is your front-runner in iowa. bernie sanders is your front-runner in new hampshire. but, of

. >> nbc news senior political director mark murray joins us. to talk about what trump was saying in that interview. not the first time he said i'm willing to get out if my numbers don't look so good. he said it to john harwood just last week. what do you take from this sort of messaging and who ultimately benefits if he pulls the rip cord? >> there was a lot of big political news over the weekend but i think that clip was the most important. the reason behind it is if trump does say that if i don't have a chance to win or might finish second or third place in the iowa caucuses, new hampshire primary, i might get out before the voting even begins. >> that's why you see the ted cruz of the world show up on capitol hill, carly fiorina as another outsider trying to say hey, i can pick up where he left off. >> that would reshuffle the entire republican field. even if donald trump's poll numbers go down and of course, we have been waiting for them to go down for awhile, they have gone down just a little bit but he still is leading. if you are talking

joining us for more on this, kusi political reporter brandon and nbc's senior political editor mark murrayk you both. brandon, you guys have been covering this story and it's a bit awkward for us, it's in the nbc family, because i think there's finger pointing everywhere about the ticket allocation. bottom line, only 150 students at the largest university in the state get an opportunity to go to the debate tonight. >> that is the reality. the other reality is, though, it's a television show. as you know. and that's primarily what the organizers are concerned about. certainly there are those who would like to see more students allowed inside. but at the end of the day, they've got to do that, they got to make a television show go off without a hitch. there's a viewing party on campus for a thousand people. but certainly there's been an outpouring. >> and the allocation was going to be 50, but was upped to 150 after his protest. >> certainly there was a vocal outcry for more seats and they got them. >> two things, march 1st is going to be the colorado caucuses, we'll get into the quirkyness

[ cheers and applause ] >> and of course, there's a reason donald trump would prefer to run against hillary clinton. polls show that in a head-to-head matchup, he faces a much tougher fight up against joe biden than if he's up again
