A trip to the podium. What you have to do is be competent and believe in yourself that i can do it and youre going to do it. Then some potential olympians of the future, young kids and extreme sports. To the parents who say youre too young to be doing this, what would you say . Ill beat you to the top. Plus the olympic idea from kerry strug winning on one leg and the british runner that wouldnt give up after tearing a ham stranstring hamstring. Enduring cultural moments. We got another great group assembled around the table. Well talk politics but lets start with the roundup of the olympic action from the first full day in rio.

Womens Gymnastics Team will take to the floor and big swimming finals on tap where we could see Michael Phelps for the first time in rio competition in the 4 x 100 style relay. You can catch it all at 7 00, 6 00 central here on nbc. Well have more on the olympics in a minute. Well turn to the race for the white house. Donald trump trying to come back from a difficult week. Trump was on the attack on saturday where among other things, he questioned Hillary Clintons mental stability. Hillary clinton made repeated false statements to the media, congress and the public, false statement number one, this stuff is so amazing. It amazing me, actually. Honestly, i dont think shes all there. Trump and clinton off the campaign trail today. The president ial election, by the way, is three months from tomorrow. Belgiums Prime Minister is calling a machete attack a likely act of terrorism in a city south of blessrussels. A man walked up to a Police Station and lunged and yelled ally al k bar. Pistorius was taken to the hospital from prison. We could get big news in the world of baseball today about one of the most controversial play earlies in the game. New york yankee star Alex Rodriguez holding a News Conference with the team. Hes been struggling mightily this season and there is speculation hell be retire or bea be released by the yankees. Kelly is the founder of the polling Inc Woman Trend and a pollster on Donald Trumps captain. Kelly ann as probably worked for any prominent. West moore, founder ceo of bridge edu a former captain of the United States army, road scholar and best heldiauthor. Hes not won a noble prize yet and Hallie Jackson steps off the road for us this morning where shes been covering the president ial campaign nonstop for a year and a half, rarely stopping for clean clothes. Thats true. Thats upsetting. Both things are true, rude and true. Thanks for being here, welcome. Kelly ann with the obvious cav yacht this is when we came out of the election and internal polling that may be painting a different picture but we got polls that Shows Hillary clinton up by nine points nationally and if you look inside the state by state swing twinstates, floridas six, michigan plus seven, pennsylvania plus 11, New Hampshire plus 17. How concerned are you with the Trump Campaign for these numbers. Were excited last friday mr. Trump seemed to readjust and get back on message realizing this is a competition against Hillary Clinton and hes taken the case directly to her. When we see internally, we see tighter races, but i would point out there are other polls this week that showed, for example, the reuters poll, which is online. Donald trump is three points behind Hillary Clinton nationally. The important point to note is when you have online polls, mr. Trump tends to be better because online polls approximate the ballot box where you issue your vote privately. We think there is a big hit in the trump vote in this country and were continuing to examine that. There is no question the combination of Hillary Clinton coming out of her convention where she had basically the stars of the Democratic Party vouching for her, willie and the beginning of a rough week. Were glad this happened in august and not november. Donald trump refused to endorse, can someone get to him and say this is getting away from us right now, we need to fix a few things here . The campaign knows what we need to do and what needs to be done to beat Hillary Clinton. If he makes it a change election or a clear choice between him and Hillary Clinton, its a choice who do you want to appoint justice into the Supreme Court and Hillary Clinton herself is a flawed individual when it comes to politics. Obviously, in the same polls shes not been able to turn the corner on trust worthiness and when the president and Hillary Clinton talk about interrogation, we ended the week showing exactly why Hillary Clinton does not face the press because when she tried to in a limited Friendly Forum it did not go well for her. Well get to that in one second but you know very well covering this campaign the frustration kelly ann was talking about. When you get bogged down in a fight and whether or not to endorse the speaker of the house and his Reelection Campaign and not talking about Hillary Clinton, thats not a winning way to go. It was frustrationing, what you doing, this could be a terrible week for Hillary Clinton and we could be hitting on emails and responses at the press conference and instead were talking about the cons and paul ryan and john mccain and i think there is a real direct reflection of the that to donald trump himself. Im told hes telling advisors listen, i get it. I know what i have to do. I know what has to be done. You have to do it. Over the last two or three days ive been on the road with him, hes opened all rallies hitting Hillary Clinton and talking about the things his campaign wants him to be talking about, some of these economic numbers but when you look at new polling, Washington Post poll and deep, shes up now leading him by a couple points on the issue of National Security and who makes you feel more safe at home. Thats something id watch because donald trump built his campaign on im the person that will make this country safer. Hes built his campaign on law and order and domestic terrorism. Wes, hes shifted and knows he has to focus on Hillary Clinton. Part of it is the way hes focussing on Hillary Clinton. Lets listen to what he said about her this week. Shes the devil. In one way shes a monster. In another way, shes a weak person. The queen of corruption and shes like an unbalanced person. Shes really pretty close to unhinged and youve seen it. Honestly, i dont think shes all there. I dont think shes all there. Shes a little unhinged. These are as add hottacks. Donald trump said famously i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot someone and not lose supporters. For the core group, that might be true but the problem is he is not going to win the general election with those numbers. The way donald trump is going and thinking about this, hes tapping into peoples primal fears without hope what actually needs to be done in ordinary tore address your pains. So what weve seen right now, this type of transition, im not sure how this transition translates into better poll numbers and a greater understanding. How does he do that, kelly and grow the pie. If you look inside nbc wall street journal numbers among white voters, its getting closer than you probably would like it to be. How does he grow from the base of support he won in the primary, how does he broaden that out in the general . Several ways, one is to talk about substance and i think the voters are way ahead of the p l politicia politicians. They demand we got onto the issues that they care about. A lot of americans are struggling and the questions are do you feel safe and prosperous. Those numbers in the swing states for folks struggling, i think having gone on the the road this week with governor pence you see that up close and personally in some of these cities and towns. Secondly, so going substance. Tomorrow donald trump will be in detroit to unveil his economic plan that substantive justice this week he started talking about hillary care and obamacare if it hasnt worked. 16 of the 23 occoops failed. He does well in the attributes on who is a strong leader. He does well with men and women on who is a strong leader. Thats really a great question as we head into the elections because people are nervous, they are very they could be reckuating the wrong park and standing in the wrong coffee line. People are nervous. There is a certain angst that he could which is different than primal fears he could tap into and third, remembering this is a binary race and are you for change the waybill clinton done and barack obama did. You pointed this out at an event she was interviewed by Kristen Welker talking to Chris Wallace about what director comey said about her being truthful or not when discussing whether she used classified email marked classified. Here is her response. Are you mischaracterizing director comeys testimony and is this under cutting efforts to rebuild trust. I may have short circuited that and for that i will try to clarify. What did she mean by that . Does that mean she short circuited that . Listen, i think she meant to say i didnt fully think through the answer before she said it. When you use phrasing like that, short circuited and have major issues with trustworthiness and question and response hits the very heart of that, thats a real problem for Hillary Clinton because it speaks to what people are concerned about with her and you are seeing this open the door for more taps from republicans. Donald trump is using this in a web video to go after her. So wes, that gives the favorability numbers, Hillary Clinton at 37 . The problem is donald trump, republicans is only at 28 . And to your point earlier, this is not a binary election and the challenge secretary clinton has to face is fear about the campaign is this would be a mandate on Hillary Clinton and in many ways, those ties shifted where this is more about stability and the ability for donald trump to be able to sit in that seat. She is trying to make such an effort to make people understand my favorability numbers should be higher. I should have more of an opportunity to understand who the real Hillary Clinton is part of the democratic convention. The challenge is when things like this continue to happen and wave up the fans. The great disconnect and cycle is the disconnect between the way the voters see the campaign, which is a referendum on Hillary Clinton who they have known for awhile and who is functionally the incumbent here and the way its being covered. Its being covered as a referendum on donald trump because hes more exciting to cover. Shes more boring. Many voters think she lies for a living and yet, thats a huge disconnect because i dont think it will change the way voters see this election. Do you want more of the same or trust her enough . Why doesnt he have a lead if thats the case . He will again. These will bounce back and forth. Even Hillary Clintons team who is smart and savvy put out a couple fundraising appeals saying look, this guy just raised 80 million you werent expecting that and hes going to go back in the polls. They said dont get comfortable. Hillarys team recognized this. The gender gap is her problem with men and in your polling, its a chronic problem. She cant break the fever among male voters that dont want her to be commander in chief. This is a referendum on donald trump and i heard that from closed a visors saying this comes down to our candidate and how people perceive him and that is actually why i think they believe they have an advantage on tone. Its almost im rubber youre glue defense. Hes turning and hitting her with and it comes down to the Supreme Court nominee versus who do you trust with the nuclear code. Stick with me, guys, well talk a little bit about a limb picks and apologies to rio, our favorite athlete of the week, the 9yearold who had a long fight to get to that moment on the mound in baltimore.

Last hour in a 10hour surgery zion became the first child to undergo a by lateral hand transplant. He threw out the first pitch to orioles star adam jones. Zion proved to be a good luck charm. He got it there, too. Its a great story for anyone still complaining about anything today. Absolutely. Look at this boy. Big smile on his face and very inspiring story. We love you, zion. The next low, Donald Trumps opinion of the media after he was accused of throwing a baby out of a rally. He said he did not. Trump was interrupted by a little bundle of joy with serious pipes. A moment trump addressed that day and throughout the week. Actually, i was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here. Believe me that i love having a baby crying while im speaking. I dont throw babies out, believe me. I love babies. Im going to make a deal with the parents because we can take that baby to Training School and it will be the next great. Complimenting the pipes. Did he throw the baby out . No, and the babys mom came out and said he didnt throw the baby out. I think this is a good example of every single thing donald trump says and does is scrutinized and Hillary Clinton had the week off. She didnt wear well. The mother brought the baby back in with a past fire. We welcome babies. The creepiness of gags the green bay clown. Residents called police when they spotted a clown roaming the streets late at night carrying only a bouquet of black ballo s balloons. Gags was spotted wearing horrified grease paint and a soil clown suit. A rep for the Police Department recognizes the creepiness and says this person is not breaking the law and its part of a horror short film. The clown was part of a viral campaign.

When she gets home to new jersey after the olympics, the youngest member of the United States track and field team will be back with her buddies for her senior year of high school. We visited sydney at that school where we got her together with the oldest member of the team, 41yearold bernard just before it was time to leave for brazil. She wasnt old enough to have a drivers license. But sydney mclaughlins own two wheels were fast enough to get her to the olympics. Where shell be the youngest american athlete to compete in track and field since 1972. 16yearold Sidney Mclaughlin crosses the line first. The teenager punched her ticket to rio when she blazed through the olympic trails last month. That race is whoa. The fastest race ive been in in my entire life. Is there a sense of relief when its over. Crossing that line is the best feeling in the world. The world will get to know sydney in rio but the rising senior is already a celebrity at her Union Catholic high school in new jersey. Is it cool for you to walk into the school and see pictures of you cheering you on, knowing that all the people you walk through the halls with during the school year will be on your side cheering for you . Its exciting and kind of overwhelming. I dont think there is that much need for posters everywhere but its nice knowing they are all there cheering for me. Sydneys coaches call her a once in a lifetime talent. When she came in at age 14, it was clear that she had some gifts. Yeah, she was definitely at a different level than anything we seen here. If somebody could run a 235 seconds, she could do it in 32 seconds and looked effortless. How does this work, sydney, in the winter when you train in the hallway . Yeah, we have these mats that we roll out throughout each hallway and usually, you know, we warm up on it and do our drills and stuff and one at a time so we didnt kill each other. Teacher wills swing the door open and someone will run by and its crazy. You could forgive them for not world class printer would be coming through the hallway they relief for the day. Pump up song. What do you listen to when you get ready for a big race . Jersey club music. You got to rep jersey. I mean, teenagers, thats the new thing. Who knew that was the secret to olympic success. It is. With that Jersey Club Music playing in her head, sydney won the 400 Meter Hurdles at the world youth championships in colombia and then broke two National HighSchool Records at this years new balance national. Sydneys family and coaches praise her humility but there are reminders around every corner of what shes already accomplished. So youre walking to class and your name on this board with 21 records and another year to go. Yeah. Sydney comes from a family of elite runners. Both her father and older brother ran at the olympic trials but early on it took a little bribery to get her out of the blocks. So i understand part of your early training with your father involved chocolate bars . My dad said if you run, ill give you a chocolate bar and i got on the line and ran so fast and i won the race at 6, 7 years old and gave me the chocolate bar. If you keep those coming, ill keep running. In the block, huge race. Yes. Whats the last thing that goes through your mind before the gun goes off . God has you. Hes given me amazing talent and got me to where i am. Do you look over at competitors and look at them. Its my lane. Its me and those ten hurdles. The youngest member of the United States track and field team got a special visit from the oldest. Im excited. 41yearold bernard is a fivetime olympian and twoteam medalist. The second fastest man in history. Running the 5,000 meters for team usa. You have to have confidence and believe in yourself you can do it. Nothing to it, sydney. He first competed for his native kenya winning bronze in 2000 and silver in 2004 before coming to america for college and later becoming an american citizen. As a fellow 41yearold, im offended about you being the old man of the olympics. They say the grand old man is on the field andment i want to that as an advantage. What do you know as a 41yearold competitor. I used to analyze things, what to eat, the weather, how many hours to sleep before i go out there and compete but no a days, if i get an hour or 30 minutes, who cares. Im ready. Bernard lagat is going to take it. At the olympic trials, lag a, t proved he hasnt lost a step. You were in sixth place in the last lap. Did you know you were in a good position or worried youre too far back . Thats exactly the position my coach told me to be in and i felt comfortable. I went for it. You had great emotion on your face. What was going through you at that time . As soon as i crossed that line, the picture in my head was nobody else, just my children. Its a Family Affair for you guys. Its a Family Affair and so much fun to be with them and for them to understand that what daddy does is we can see the results. There is also we can travel with them and we can see him competing. Is there any chance, depending on how this goes in rio that you could continue on after this . I mean, if you can do it at 41, why cant you do it at 45 . I know. Some things have to come to a close, you know. We have to end at some point, but id love to contribute a lot in terms of helping the young generation believe in track and field. We know track and field is a beautiful sport, that with hard work and sacrifice, you can run all the way until youre longest year years. My fellow 41yearold Bernard Lagat runs the 500 meters on august 17th and his daughter says shes excited her father made it to rio because it means she can go watch gymnastics and hopefully shes catch dad, too. By the way, sydney says there is one very important piece of home shell be talking with her to rio, the minions of despicable me play a part in that story. For more, check out today. Com sunday.

Many youve ever run or watched one of those gruels extreme obstacle races, you probably would agree its no place for a grade schooler. We found some grade schoolers that begged to differ. Joe frayer introduces us to Young Athletes competing and literally climbing mountains. Reporter the playgrounds of the 21st century seem to have no boundaries for some kids like a 12yearold that scales the Worlds Largest mountains. Ive seen stuff not a lot of 12yearolds have. Reporter a 10yearold that excels at cross fit or a 9yearold that tackles monster obstacle courses. People always call me champ. They always cheer me on. They always clap. Reporter these days kids are taking sports to the limits. The sports move faster to them and kids like to get up in the air. I know thats my own kids. Reporter but how extreme is too extreme . At age 9 mila was the youngest at this spartan race in pennsylvania. With her dad she tears through a course that stretches for 8 migh miles and features 25 obstacles. Equally fear wills is grace Avery A Cross fit kid that would rather nod work out with kids. I do the adult close. Reporter she weighs 80 pounds and dead lifts 125 pounds. When grace runs laps on a kid on the field, its because of cross fit. Reporter higher up youll find 12yearold Tyler Armstrong thats been climbing mountains for half his life. When he first told you he wanted to do this, what was your e action . I thought he was joking. Dad soon learned this was no joke. When you get to the bottom of a peak and look up, is that when it sets in . Youre like wow, the awe factor. Reporter as tyler grew, so did the challenges conquering the worlds tallest peaks. The next, mount everest. Tyler trains by strapping on a backpack filled with 45 pounds of race and walking at a 45 degree angle. Its tough for half an hour, but its going to help me get up everest. Reporter but the Chinese Government is not giving tyler a permit to climb because of his age. These sports are different than going out for a run or playing soccer. The risk and potential injury is much greater. Reporter jordan is a Sports Medicine physician at the hospital for special surgery in new york. He says there is a fine line between healthy and unhealthy sports. I think essentially kids should be weight training but high reputation lightweight until their growth plates are closed. Reporter this safety advocate is passionate after her son was killed in a motorcycle crash she learned he suffered from the degenerative brain disease cte likely caused from years of football a sport considered more mainstream than extreme. Its risk versus reward. Whats the reward really worth risking your life and once you have done your child eulogy you dont wish that on anybody. To the parents that say youre too young to do this, what would you say . Come climb with me and ill beat you to the top. Until they tell me they dont want to do it anymore, ill back them 100 . Tylers money fights muscular dystrophy and mila once bullied hopes to send a message for selfesteem for her when it comes to extreme sports, this finish line is just the beginning.

The things that i consume a lot of it is very acidic. The enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. The whiteness wasnt there as much. My teeth didnt look as healthy as others. My dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. So it was really important to start using the pronamel. Itll be one less thing you have to worry about. Pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that im doing the right thing. So its nice to know that its as simple as that. Every couple years the olympics give the country and the world a couple minutes to pause and watch together, even as it sometimes feels politics and our times are pulling us apart. Harry smith reminds us of the power of the Olympic Games. Reporter the olympics are the best kind of reality television. Theres also kinds of anticipation about what we think will happen and then there is the reality part. Greg was as good a diver as anyone had ever seen. But how do you come back after hitting your head . By winning a gold medal, of course. [ cheers ] in the 1992 games in barcelona, british runner Derrick Redmen tore his hamstring in the final. He was in pain and decided no matter what he would finish the race. His father joined him on the track. We all cried. No one could script this. Atlanta, 1996, womens gymnastics. With the u. S. Holding a narrow lead, kerri strug needed an advance. Her landing was a disaster. A badly injured ankle left her hobbling. Yet, somehow on her second vault she nailed it more tears, what guts. We all have our favorite moments from games past in sydney, the woman who lit the flame was an australian and Cathy Freeman was a racial barrier. She would win gold in the 400 meter race, a run of pride all australians embraced. This time around well be glued to the screens to watch Michael Phelps no doubt. Michael phelps is going to win gold. Reporter hes in a once in a lifetime athlete, no one has one more medals and we cant wait to see simone biles. They say no one on earth is as good and katy ledecky. The force in free style, go katy. Well watch Womens Basketball for sure. The u. S. Women will be going for the eighth consecutive gold medal, talk about a dream team but the stories well look for will be the ones that sneak up on us. Remember gardener, the u. S. Wrestler that beat the unbeatable russian . Those things happen at an olympics. Sports rera sports we rarely see.
