Lets start on a friday morning with politics. 73 days to go until the clinton now says her rivals rhetoric are taking hate groups mainstream. Lets begin with nbcs andrea mitchell. Reporter morning, matt. The racial insults were flying between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. He calling her a bigot, she saying that he has helped a radical fringe take over the gop. Donald trump ramping up his war of words with hillary cli again, calling her a bigot. She is a bigot. In what way . You look at whats happening to the inner cities, you look at whats happening to africanamericans and hispanics in this country where she talks all the time. Reporter clintons running mate tim kaine addressing the b word in a taped interview that airs tonight. He called your friend, Hillary Clinton, a bigot. When Hillary Clinton got out of law school she was working to help advance Racial Justice in the juvenile Justice System in caree donald trump was a real estate guy who got sued by the Justice Department for discriminating against people in housing. He is taking hate groups mainstream. Reporter and in a major speech clinton tearing into trump, charging her rival with building his campaign on prejudice and paranoia, tying him to right wing extremists, citing trumps leading role in the birther movement. He promoted the racist lie that president obama is not rely reporter dismissing his claims about her health. His latest paranoid fever dream is about my health. All i can say is, donald, dream on. Reporter calling trumps new campaign ceo steve bannon, the head of breitbart, a key player in the altright movement. A fringe element that has effectively taken over the republican party. Reporter underscoring her message with a new video featuring former clans man david at this point is really tree son to your heritage. Reporter even before clinton spoke trump insisting she is smearing her supporters. Hillary clinton isnt just attacking me, shes attacking all of the decent people of all backgrounds, doesnt matter, of all backgrounds who support this incredible once in a lifetime movement. Reporter escalating his attack on the clinton foundation. Hillary clintons actions constitute all of a major criminal enterprise. Reporter asked whether his own 100,000 donation to the foundation constituted pay for play trump hedged. I didnt do it for that reason. There was nothing i had in mind, but i will say they liked me a lot. They liked me a lot. And if i make that contribution they probably have liked me at all. Reporter and in his cnn interview thursday night trump, again, seemed to suggest he might be flipping back to his original position on legalization for undocumented workers unless they first leave the country and then come back, causing more head spinning among his supporters and his critics. Matt and savanna. We will get into that in just a second. We will sort it out with chuck todd and niccole wallace. Good morning into good morning. The olympics glow still all around matt. It was so good. Lets talk about this latest back and forth on the campaign trail over race. Chuck, to you. I her giving this huge speech which essentially makes the argument that he or his supporters are bigot. Is this a good strategy on either side . Its not a good strategy to be hurling these ep a taths at each other. When we thought three months ago this was going to be a race to the bottom this race a proving it, we are headed for a race to the bottom. There is some strategy behind this, right . Donald trump at least the new republicans not supporting us, if we can fix our problems with hispanics or africanamericans or at least not sound so hateful maybe some of these white republican suburban night voters will come back to the fold. You agree that this pitch from donald trump to africanamerican thats right. Its not to win minority votes. This is about winning suburban votes in Northern Virginia and the suburbs of philadelphia, you in a im it. Before these last couple of da Trump Campaign was a possible willingness on his part to walk back one of his main policy promises on immigration where he said these 11 million people, immigrants living with this country illegally had to leave, the deportation force, all that. Then he comes back and said only the ones that have committed crimes, others can pay back taxes. Now last night it seems like hes back to square one. Exactly what is Donald Trumps policy on immigration . I have no idea. His position and he answered it as though anderson was using a word that anderson thought of and he said its not a softening its some people call it a hardening, trump called it a softening in two down halls this week. I think we make a mistake of presuming theres policy behind his utterances. There isnt. When Hillary Clinton went to what all the republicans have done in the past on race, she cited george w. Bush going to a mosque, she cited john mccain standing up to someone who p i wish a republican had given that speech into there is an amazing thing that happened yesterday. Hillary clinton called the republican nominee a racist and all these republicans decided to come and say, oh, my gosh, you not a word. No republicans outside the campaign said, how dare you, Hillary Clinton, call a republican nominee a racist. The sound of silence among mainstream republican elected officials yesterday is stunning. 73 days. Bottom. Were looking up at the bottom. Its somewhere we have never been before and i think weve sort of entered this black box phase where the crash has happened and were trying to figure out how we got here. I would caution republicans to not make this all about trump. He won because people picked him and republicans have to understand what the good parts were about his message and what they lacked that our voters picked him over 16 others. What i cant figure out is what this is going to do to turnout. I think that thats that lot of people are just going to say why bother and then that throws that scrambles the whole electoral map. Chuck and niccole, were thoroughly depressed. Lets bring the olympics back. Good to see you guys. Come on. The public would love it, interest u. S. Me. You would love it. Also this morning there seems to be a lot of uncertainty swirling around that tropical system that could threaten eye on that. Mr. Roker, good morning to you. You talk about politicians flipflopping, our models have been flipflopping as well. So here we have this system that is yet to develop, theyve got a noah plane in there right now, invest 99lment the chances of development have been dropping over the last 24 hours, now a 30 chance of development 48 hours, 60 in the next five days. Watch this. So now on saturday both the u. S. Model and european model are rain, gusty winds in the bahamas, rain in southern florida. Now watch what happens as we get into monday. The european model starts to come across florida, the american model starts going out into the gulf with that warmer water, 90 degrees, and now by the time we get to tuesday the european model is off the southeastern atlantic coast, 24 hours ago it was just the opposite, the american model is out in the gulf. So weve really got to watch do know that were going to be looking at heavy rain in central and southern florida, at least 5 inches throughout southern florida, guys, but, again, this flipflop is something we havent seen in a long time and its still out there and so were going to really have to play very close attention to it. And we will. Al, thank you very much. I want to talk now about a chaotic scene at an airport in omaha, nebraska. A man scaled a barbed wire fence, s it happened as passengers were boarding a flito one thought it was a bomb going off because there was a loud boom and then the lights went off. Three people suffered minor injuries. The suspect was taken into custody. The fbi and ntsb are now investigating.

This man saved the lives of two children but heard others in the rubble he couldnt help. People are now living in tents and depending on food handouts. This is their main camp. It can hold around 300 people. But there are thousands homeless here. Theres anger too. Investigators now probing why this school collapsed in spite of a Million Dollar spend to make it earthquake proof. Some of its buildings have stood for 600 years. Now its a ruin. People returned briefly to salvage the few possessions they have left. Francesco loft five friends. Panic and cry and scared. Im scared. Reporter the dust rising still like the death toll in this shaken town. This mornings aftershock nerves as well. Some of the dead will be buried in a state funeral here tomorrow. At least a dozen Foreign Tourists are among the dead but no americans among the dead or the injured. Savannah, matt . Bill neely at the quake scene for us. Thank you very much.

On thursday manchin saying in a statement, i look forward to working with my colleagues to lower the price of prescription drugs and other lawmakers accuse the company of price gauging.

Dr. William petit is hoping to represent his neighbors in plainville, connecticut, in the states house of representatives. For the last nine years hes been an outspoken supporter of the Death Penalty. But he says he stands for so much more. You have gone through a very public tragedy. How has that influenced your thinking about running for office . Has it . Know . Some people still stop and say i know where you stand.

You know, your views about the Death Penalty have been controversial to some people. Some say the best thing is forgiveness. To say how do you feel with that part of it . Never forgive never forgive evil and thats what its about. Thats what the Death Penalty is about, is erasing evil. How do you get rid of the guilt, the survivors guilt that has to go along with Something Like this . Well, i dont think you do. I dont think you do. I think its just its packaged up and compartmentalized a little bit. Its stored on like the top shelf in the closet in a small you have a terrible night or a terrible couple of hours or a terrible weekend or whatever the case may be.

I love dnce dnce on today. We it 8 00 on today. Its friday, august 26th. Its dnce day. Were so excited to have them here. Our crowd is totally fired up. By the way, i should mention a week from today we have another great guest. Alicia keys who is also the newest judge on the voice. Thats going to be great. We look forward to that. News at 8 00. We begin with a devastating earthquake in central italy. Im bill neely here in amatrice. The worst hit town where the search for survivors is now in its third day and its desperate because the death toll is rising steadily. It could have been so much worse. This is an elementary school. If this had been full when the eartke children could have died here. In the rubble its a race against time as hope fades of finding survivors. Rescuers say staying alive under all this is a long shot. On the ground, they call for silence. They listen for signs of life. They hear none. This sister survived and cant believe it. I texted my friends to say goodbye forever, she says. The ground is still shaking. This aftershock bringing down buildings and triggering clouds of dust. Another violent aftershock this morning. They are still pulling victims out. The whole town is homeless. People are now living in tents and depending on food handouts. This is their main camp. It can hold around 30 here. Theres anger too. Investigators now probing why this school collapsed in spite of a Million Dollar spend to make it earthquake proof. The dust rising still like the death toll in this shaken town. This mornings aftershocks rattled buildings and they rattled nerves here. There will be a state funeral tomorrow for some of the dead. Many Foreign Tourists were among the dead but no americans among matt, savannah . Bill neely thank you. We move to the president ial race. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton escalating their personal attacks over racism. Last night trump repeated his accusation that clinton is a bigot. He said shes not doing anything for africanamericans and hispanic in the inner city neighborhoods where she frequently makes appearances. For her part, clinton accused trump of taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the republican video that featured forms ku klux Klan David Duke praising trump. Police are investigating a crime that stunned a community. The murder of two catholic nuns. Sister margaret held and sister Paula Merrill were Nurse Practitioners that provided health care to poor families. There were signs of a break in and their car was stolen home. Police say the victims had apparently been stabbed. They arent saying anything about a possible suspect or motive. A small plane crashed nose first into a house in terre haute, indiana, last night. Nobody was home at the time. Officials say the plane circled a nearby airport several times before clipping a tree and crashing. Investigators from the faa and ntsb are expected at that site well take a break. When we come back, how far would you go to get a great picture . Our hearts are in our throats as we watch this unicyclist performing stunts 100 feet in the air. Well check in with charlie and the progress hes made during his first five days in studio 1a. Well head outside for a live . . . Thats why were introducing cheese dippers. The creamy cheese and crunchy breadsticks that go wherever you do. Cheese dippers by the laughing cow. Reinvent snacking. If you want to carmax will give you seven days to consider their offer. Why seven days . Science. Join me as we walk through the seven stages of decisioning. 1. Consideration. 2. Questioning. 3. Deciding. 4. Queso. 6. Sudoku. 7. Tambourine practice. I think i made my point. Theyll give you an offer for your car, you take seven days to think about it. Wish you could nourish your hair without it falling flat . Dove oxygen moisture with oxygen fused moisture. For the nourishment you need. With 95 more volume. Hi hey ive made plans for later in case this date doesnt go well. Likewise but, funny story. On top of that . My mom is my best friend. Uh oh. Yeah. Oop theres the rescue text from my roommate saying she needs me. Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant . We are back now 8 10 with a today exclusive. An update of a remarkable woman whose story weve been following for six years now. Rachel chapman was paralyzed in an unusual accident during her Bachelorette Party 2010. Ever since shes proved that nothing can hold her back. As Janet Shamlian explains, that was true in her latest endeavor. Reporter for most people just thinking about skydiving takes guts. For Rachel Chapman jumping out of a plane is a profile in courage. Why in the world did you want to do this . Ive wanted to do this since i was a teenager. The wheelchair has been part of her life since her life was forever changed. Another year before she and chris would finally be able to tie the knot. By then, known as paralyzed bride. A term shes embraced amid all kinds of new challenges. Most fulfilling, she says, the couples daughter, kaly. Born with the help of a surrogate last year. Youre a mom your daughter is almost 16 months. She is adapted to me being a mom in a wheelchair. Its fun to see her learn new things. On this day its rachel learning something new. The plan, a tandem jump with mike elliott who leaves the all veteran parachute team. Whats going through your mind right now . Im ready to go. With chris and kaly watching, the team will make the leap from 14,000 feet. Im more nervous than when i was on the ground. Finally out the door and into unbridled freedom. She flies. For a few moments an exceptional view and feeling thatny scariest part was getting out of the plane. You have no control over that. For Rachel Chapman another barrier conquered as she soars to new heights. For today, Janet Shamlian, nbc news, north carolina. That was crazy. Crazy amazing. So impressive. Lets do trending. This one is about men. Here we go. No commentary at all. Scientists discovered that balding does reduce the perception of attractiveness. Researchers at Johns Hopkins university i did not call for the split screen. Here we go. Researchers found that shall we say folicly challenged men were rated as more youthful, successful and approachable after they had a hair transplant. Thats ridiculous. Would you ever consider getting a hair transplant . Not for a moment. By the way, Dwayne Johnson not sexy . Michael jordan. Come on. Im not saying this to butter you up because you know me i always look for a reason to not do that, i think you both look great if not better than you ever looked before. Also, we could grow hair any look at you guys. Its how you own it. Matching outfits today. We talk about it all the time, best things we did was shaving our heads. Do you have a dress code at work . If you do, you may want to bend the rules a little bit. You may be more successful either dressing above the dress code or below it. An article in new York Magazine says theres an advantage to dressing professionally but you only reap the peers in the office. Experts found that workers who intentionally dress either above the dress code, more dressy, or below it, more casual, appear more competent. The takeaway is you seem to be more competent if you stand out. Monday im coming in a tux. Im coming in a swimsuit. Ignore the dress code. Go above it or below it. I think that applies to a party. If youre going to a garden casual or go in a full flowing floral number so you stand out. The dress code should not turn you into sheep that everyone is following the same jacket, same tie, same shirt. You have seen guys in the same plaid shirts. Not like yours, mr. Roker. As i said plaid shirt, wait a minute. But youre handsome. Heart pumping this morning. As if unicycle is not hard enough, how about doing it around the edge of a chimney at 840 feet. This is a dare devil. Hes in romania. Captured this on video. My gosh. Look at this. The balance beam. A few other tricks up his sleeve. Just for the sheer joy of it. Thats nuts. You know who is a big unicyclist . Our producer and my wife unicycles. Do you ride your bike around . Sometimes im too tired. Al, we set you up for it. These why i need t tamron, pop start. I dont know how to follow that joke. Barbra streisand took to the stage last night for a duet with donald trump. No. Its donald trump played by jimmy fallon. They promised to make duets great again. Here it is. . Any wall you can build i can build taller. I can build any wall taller than . No you cant . . Im going to get mexico to pay for it . Great time there with jimmy. And now to ryan reynolds. We know the actor is hilarious on twitter. Yesterday was a special day. He shared a heartfelt message that went viral. Tweeted just want to wish Billy Ray Cyrus the most special, magical birthday ever. I love you with all my also, happy birthday to my wife. Happy belated birthday to blake lively and Billy Ray Cyrus. Britney spears released her album glory and she brought back greatest hits doing carpool karaoke. Some things that we learned. She wants three more kids. She no longer believes in style. . Oh, baby, baby . . How was i supposed to know . . That something wasnt right, yeah . . Give me a sign. Hit me, baby, one more time . Okay. I know you were looking at the pony tails on james but he has a half shirt on. I know. Thats really kind look at the tummy. Im glad you pointed it out. For more pop start stories head on over to todays facebook page. He is the best, right . Lets get a check of the weather. Okeydokey, weve been talking about this tropical disturbance and over the next couple of days it doesnt really have that much of a chance, the chances actually keep dropping, down now to 20 but in the next five days there is a 60 rs model, the european model basically keep it through tomorrow coming across the bahamas bringing a lot of wind and rain, rain to southern florida. Then the european model brings it across florida, the u. S. Model brings it out into the warm waters of the gulf where it could become more of a tropical entity and really cause problems for parts of louisiana and the gulf, whereas the european model brings it along the southeast atlantic coast.

Nd at different environments are good for him at all. Hes taking in all sorts of sounds and sights and things outside the studio like the crowds of people on the plaza. Its amazing for him to have this foundation. The hardest part for us has been remembering when charlie is working because our our instinct is to run over and cuddle and then we look over and go right. Right now he is just getting used to wearing the vest he doesnt have that total association but in the future he will understand what his little job is. What are his next few weeks like . As a vet dog he is going to have a lot of Different Service dog tasks like retrieving and opening doors, turning on and off lights, but right now we are in no major rush to push him.

Right now the right lane is the only one getting by. The backups go to i25, inching their that delay continues to spread. So southbound 25 to eastbound 70 is a much easier alternate route.

Marty, a little damp out there this morning and cooler. It is, and we will be in the 70s again today, better chance of storms over the Eastern Plains where we have had an early start. Its already raining over the plains. Thunderstorms are possible before noon today. Rotate down over the plains later. Our chances for storms are actually pretty small today. We will get one or two little sprinkles in the afternoon. The heavy stuff stays on the eastern section of colorados plains. 70s here today with 60s in the mountains. Ill call it mostly cloudy but the fact is for the middle of the afternoon you will see a good deal of sunshine around here with temps in the mid 70s, even more sun tomorrow with a small chance for a storm. Of course if that storm strays within i think of Mile High Stadium and theres any lightning, they will clear the field so thats something you have to keep in mind because the timing could work out pretty close to the start of the broncos game.

Unlike ordinary diapers with two layers, pampers have three absorbent layers to stay up to three times drier, so babies can sleep soundly all night. On todays food, well wrap up a week of backtoschool meals and snacks. Right now im going to show you a couple of healthy and delicious snacks and hopefully your kids will too. We have kale chips, avocado toast and healthy beef jerky. So lets get started. Were going to show you how to make a healthy beef jerky so you can put in a little ziploc for your kids. Water, teriyaki sauce. Garlic salt. Sweet chili pepper. Liquid smoke. Beef and brown sugar and garlic. Make your marinade first. That smokey flavor. Mix into the marinade some sweet chili sauce. Its a little sweet. A little bit of a spice. Not a lot. Garlic powder and garlic salt and brown sugar. Whisk that up. Take your flank steak and cut against the grain if you like it less chewy. So against the grain. As thin a slice as possible. If you want a little chewier, you can go the length of it. Why would you want chewy . Some people like the chewy jerky. Jaw workout. Thats right. So you take this and youll pour your marinade and put this in the fridge and let it sit for 24 hours. Now, take it out onto a nice cookie sheet. You can use a bigger one. Pat it dry. Now, you take your meat and you put it on a wire rack, all right. For cleanup, i would recommend of this. Parchment paper. You can do parchment paper as well. A little known secret. Put this in the oven. Youll put this in the oven at the lowest possible temperature your oven can go to. Low and slow. Its going to be in there for a bunch of hours. Just hours . Yeah. Leave it in there. Until you see that it has a consistency like this. This is so good. Brisket jerky. Youve got your ziploc. Mmhmm. Put it in the kids lunch. I think jerky is big. Jerky is big right now. Kale chips. I love kale chips. All you have to do is cut out the rib. All right. Youre going to lay these down on parchment paper or baking sheet. Do a bunch. Take olive oil. Use salt. You can do any seasoning you barbecue sauce. The key is for people, you dont overpack the pan because it steams it. Put it in the oven at about 325 for 15 to 20 minutes. This comes out. Other thing i love, avocado toast. This is a hot thing right now. You can put a little smoked salmon, some veggies. I like to put on a bigger piece a whole fried egg on top. Hmm. Thats yummy stuff. And you sprinkle a little parmesan and youre set. Also by the way, i want to mention Food Club Member Taylor Kaiser made energy bars. For the recipe, go to today.
