Do both models say it will be a hurricane . It will still be a hurricane, whether it is a major hurricane or category 2 or 3 is still up in the air. Keep an eye on it. Thanks very much. Well have the latest on this storm throughout the morning. Now to two new bombshells in the president ial race. Donald trump facing more scrutiny over his taxes and now a report this morning that questions his behavior on the set of his reality show, the apprentice. Nbc National Correspondent peter hi, peter, good morning. Reporter hey, matt and savannah, good morning to you. Donald trump facing new allegations this morning about thtime that he was running at popularhow, the apprentice, allegations suggesting he demeaned women with sexist uage. This comes in the late streak of bad headlines for trump, including a report specifically fire this morning after a new report claims the republican turned trump critic, randall pinkett, sized up female contestants. He was like, isnt she hot . Check her out. Kind of gawking. A trump spokesman denied the allegations telling nbc news these outlandish, unsubstantiated claims that have no merit whatsoever. Xh it comes as trump is also fending off new questions about his Business Record and personal finances. In the wake of a New York Times bombshell revea trump claiming a nearly 9 million loss that could have allowed him to legally avoid paying federal income taxes for up to 18 years. According to tax exper hired by the newspaper. The times receiving the documents from an anonymous tipster. They include markings from thumps thenwife marla maples. The campaigns response doesnt dispute any of the articles content. Trump tweeting i know our complex tax laws better than president and am the only one who can fix them. His advisors also pushing back. The reality is hes a genius. The genius of donald trump has been to make sure that he reporter the tax story punctuating a rough seven days for the billionaire. O lashing t clintons this weekend. On Hillary Clintons recent bout ou shes supposed to fight all of these Different Things and she cant make it 15 feet to her car. Give me a break. Reporter even their marriage. I dont even think shes loyal to bill. You want to know the truth. And really, folks really why should she be . Right . Reporter now trumps trying to capitalize on audio released by an unknown source of Hillary Clinton discussing Bernie Sanders and his supporters during the primary. Theyre children of the Great Recession and they are living in education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they dont see much of a future. Reporter the Clinton Campaign verifying the audio saying clintons inspired by the optimism and the drive of this generation and sanders supporters. Trump on twitter, calling on sanders to pull his endorsement of crooked hillary. Five weeks to go, plenty of fodder for saturday night live. He hasnt released his tax returns which means hes either not that rich wrong. Not that charitable wrong. Or hes never paid taxes in his life. Warmer. Reporter that New York Times tax report going to the heart of Donald Trumps rationale for being president. His business acumen. As for his treatment of women, nbc, of course, was aware of the apprentice, referred all questions to the shows executive producer mark burnett whose company did not respond to the associate press repeated for comment. Savannah . Eventful weekend in politics. Lets bring in Nicolle Wallace aneve kornki. Good morning. On the tax situation, if you listen to democrats, they say this report is a bombshell. It proves he may not have paid federal income taxes for up to 18 years. Listen to trump and surrogates are saying, no, he is a business genius who understands taxes. What are the voters going to say . Listen. I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. For a normal campaign and a normal candidate this would be a really big deal. For a guy whos running as a purpose of running for the candidacy, i have worked these rigged systems, i have bought politicians, i have basically benefited from a corrupt tax code. So you can trust me to fix it and dismantle it. Thats his message. So i think hes in dire straits right now because of his temperament and his tweets. Not his taxes. Most of the headlines focused on the fact that these tax returns may demonstrate that he paid no federal income tax. Would be, heres a guy whos running on being a brilliant businessman who took a loss of almost 1 billion in one year. A guy whose selling point is im going to run the government the way i run my business. I had the same reaction, too. Ultimately, obviously, in terms of the possibility of not paying taxes for two decades, that is a bombshell. On the other hand, a lot of people probably suspected this all along. This is the sort of character that donald trump presents i do think his campaign is out there. Youve heard that line genius. Chris christie and Rudy Giuliani were saying it. I think theyre probably overselling it that way. The suggestion is you can get highfives for it but i do think there was an opening here for trump to say, look, not saying you should like this, im saying you should be giving me a high five for it, you should realize this is a bad system. I recognize a bad system. Its a bad system that career politicians have put in place and that i want to blow up. Im not necessarily hearing him take advantage of it right now. Take me through the who done it side of this. This was leaked. These three pages of that tax return from 1995 were sent to the New York Times. They say there was some sort of postmark on them that identified trump tower so thats either an insider or someone with a flair for the dramatic. Right. We heard from one of the New York Times reporters this morning on morning joe that there is an investigation under way to figure out how that stamp ended up on the envelope. These were sent snail mail, very old school the way these documents ended upt they were mailed. They wrote on the envelope that they came from trump tower. Inside a campaign, you sort of have to deal with the situation they have. The situation they have is having to explain this billion dollar loss and why they havent paid taxes but there will also be a parallel operation under way to figure out how these documents left trump tower in the first place. Whoever leaked th, potentially thats a criminal issue, not the New York Times to receive them but f someone campaign if they spend too much time arguing about how they got out, it looks like theyre trying to hide something which is in direct contradiction to Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie calling it genius. All right, guys. Thank you. The only Vice President ial debate tomorrow night, live coverage starts at 9 00 p. M. Eastern, 6 00 pacific. Turning now to the deadly train crash in new jersey last week. It happened in hoboken. Investigs interviewed the engineer who was at the controls but theyve run into a problem when it comes to the trains black boxes. Nbcs tom costello has that part of the story for us. Tom, good morning. Reporter good morning. This train station is so unstable, investigators have been using a drone to survey the train in its final resting place. This morning we still dont have much new information about how fast this train was going or in fact what happened. Reporter this morning, photos from the ntsb showing the extensive structural damage access to much of the train. Over the weekend they did interview engineer Tommy Gallagher who told investigators hed gotten plenty of sleep the night before the crash. He said his cell phone was stored in his backpack during the trip and the train and brakes were working normally. He said when he checked the speedometer he was operating at 10 Miles Per Hour when entering the station track. The engineer says he has no memory of the accident. He remembers waking up on the floor of the cab. Is the posted speed limit but witnesses say the train was going much faster. Another setback for the ntsb, the first black box retrieved from the locomotive wasnt working. No recording of the trains actual speed or braking action. Investigators hope a second black box still inside the train wreckage captured that data. Meanwhile, the body of the 34yearold mother who died in kroon, now back in brazil for burial. Immediately after the crash, a man knelt beside her waiting for paramedics. I just told her, breathe, focus on your family and loved ones. Im here, im not going to leave you. She fought. She really did try her best. Reporter also this morning, renewed focus on new Jersey Transit safety record. Federal rail inspectors were so concerned about the culture at nj transit they began safety audits over the summer finding dozens of alleged violations and ordering immediate fixes. So i believe, on initial look, that theres a lack of culture of safety. Reporter no comment this morning from nj transit. The ntsb says the signals appeared to be working normally, no problems with the tracks it appears. Sources are pointing to similarities between this crash and the one in philadelphia more than a year ago. Eight people were killed on that one. In both crashes, the engineer says he cant remember what happened and in both cases witnesses say the train was going way too fast. Guys, back to you.
