so, matt, let me come back to you. in general, how much will voters even care or even pay attention to an endorsement like this? >> i don't think it matters that much as ron was saying. i don't think this brings a lot of new voters that bernie doesn't already have. i think what it does do is it keeps him in the game. he had a heart attack. he ended up having a very good debate. i think good in terms of showing that he was resilient that he still has energy. now, immediately, he has this endorsement, which is going to be exciting. which we're talking about right now. it keeps him in the game. he has enough money to stay in indefinitely and that potentially could keep elizabeth warren from galvanizing the left behind her candidacy and that actually could have ramifications in the nomination. >> can i add to that point real quick. >> sure. >> sanders does have a white working class constituency that may cut into voters that might otherwise end up with biden. matt's point is right. the bulk of his audience are younger prog

for a purpose they don't wa nt be used for a purpose they don't want it to be used for, as matt has found out, sohow difficult it is legally picky as an independent person to try to get some compensation against it. the community is a very supportive community, and i've seen lots of instances where this might have happened, and that person has called out the company, and i know matt is feeling damaged, quite rightly so, at the moment, but you can call it out, you can say this happened to me, this is my image but i don't endorse this product and please can we all share it and can we get this taken down. i've seen it work very effectively. have you done that, would you do that? for me, the difference is these groups are very, very large, and their reach is, like, 100 times what mine is. i have a following of around 5000 people andi a following of around 5000 people and i think i had a very positive influence on those people. and it was a very positive experience. however, i think my picture, roughly, has reached around 5 million people with a tag line saying about how i am someone else, how i lost

they really just feel so deeply betrayed, brian. >> matt, i know members of the military are not, as a routine matter, supposed to speak to members of the media, but we usually find ways to make other arrangements. have you had any contact with members of the u.s. military? i just can't imagine how they are feeling. >> reporter: actually, no, because here in iraq, they drove right through northern iraq. you know, they flashed some peace signs at us as they were driving through. they didn't get the same kind of rage here in northern iraq. they didn't have as many people throwing things at them as in northern syria, though there was a little bit of that in nearby erbil. it was just among the refugees, that anger is not going to go away, brian. >> this may call for a judgment on your part, and then i'll let you go. where do you put the chance that things will deteriorate so badly or cross an imaginary line enough to recommit americans coming the other way on those same highways? >> reporter: i think what it would take, brian, is a reformation of the islamic state, and that's really why

so matt will talk about that. i think one of the ways as was mentioned earlier that we're really trying to modernize and advance how we do public diplomacy for 2019 and beyond is this merger that we just did to create the new bureau. the whole purpose and mission was to elevate and accelerate how we're communicating with audiences around the world in real time to advance our policy and to advance our values. i was pleased to leave this alongside nicole, head of the international information programs bureau. to create global public affairs. we increased resources to inform and measure and improve how we're communicating in audiences and with audiences across the world. a lot of emphasis on content and different ways and creative ways that we can communicate with audiences across multiple platforms. whether it be traditional and digital and emerging platforms and future focus on platform, that will be emerging. whether it's augmented reality, virtual reality, ai but how are we thinking about communicating in nothose

matt lauer responding tonight, and so is nbc. here's linsey davis. >> reporter: for the first time, one of matt lauer's accusers has reportedly come forward to describe a sexual assault by the former "today show" anchor. >> this is shocking and appalling. >> reporter: this morning, his former colleagues reacted to the explosive claims. >> there are not allegations of an affair, there are allegations of a crime, and i think that's shocking to all of us here. >> reporter: "variety magazine" obtained excerpts of the new book "catch and kill" by roman farrow. according to variety, a former nbc news producer says the assault took place at the 2014 sochi olympics while she was working for anchor meredith viera. she reportedly told farrow that one night after drinks in sochi with lauer and vieira, she went up to lauer's hotel room where she says he pushed her onto the bed, flipping her over, and forcing her into a sex act. she says she "wept silently into a pillow." according to excerpts obtained by "variety," the producer told farrow, "

. >> so, matt what do they expect to happen next? if this is the so-called cease-fire, and yet we had several people who died today as a result of some bombings, what happens come tuesday? >> reporter: hard to know, because, of course, tuesday is when they're re-evaluating it. the people with the upper hand now are not the kurdish syrian democratic forces. it's the russians. the regime of bashar al assad, and several points used to be occupied by the kurds and essentially blocking the advance of the turks. president erdogan of turkey. the only ones with sway in the situation and come tuesday when that 120 hours finally expires, it looks as though all of the power to evaluate the situation and decide whether or not this cease-fire is going to hold will be out of kurdish hands. you know, the turks, president erdogan, has already said this isn't a cease-fire. they called it a pause in fighting and refused to recognize the term cease-fire because, they said, calling it a cease-fire means they negotiated with terrorists. that's exactly wha

matt: thank you so much for joining us with that fantastic story on the cheese wedge.economy is, no joke, sounding alarm bells as a wave of data shows manufacturing in a slump, exports falling, and sentiment sliding. the u.s. fails to defy the factory glue facing china and europe. slid deeper into contraction, giving the weakest reading since 2009. auto sales look equally grim. nissan's 18% drop led declines. toyota and honda did not fare much better. the severity stokes fears that the long anticipated car sale we call, carmageddon, -- maty -- may be arrivinig arriving. it is not look good. what is the problem? >> as you said, the picture is not complete. we will get ford and gm chrysler today with quarterly figures. but what we have seen is as you say. we have seen these numbers really drop, particularly on the asian side. the german carmakers did ok. volkswagen had a very tough quarter or month. but bmw and daimler did all right. 34. the difference between bmw and mercedes sales in the month of september. they outsold mercedes by a grand total of 34 cars. net and nec

the politicians, at least in the senate, haven't gotten the memo yet and they're about to. >> matt, thank you soning me today. amazing. two years ago today. and be sure to tune in tomorrow night when our own craig melvin will moderate the 2020 gun safety forum in las vegas, featuring the top 2020 candidates, speaking to voters about their plans to address america's gun violence epidemic. it streams live all day on nbc news now and msnbc with special coverage across msnbc. that wraps up a busy hour for me. i am stephanie ruhle and i'll see you again at 1:00 and you can find today's good news ruhles on twitter and instagram. and it's tuesday. that means a new episode of my podcast modern ruhles drops today. this week's topic, feminism, the future of it. is it an inclusive movement? how does modern feminism impact men and how about this week my own mother, the toughest woman i know, weighs in on what she defines as feminism. i want you too as well. a lot of people embrace it and talk about it, but do we actually know what it means? tweet me, send me an instagram dm, how do you define feminism. i wa
