Leone. In their histories, theyve overcome great challenges and they are drawing on that great strength and resilience today. Insider attack. How an officer ambushed Coalition Troops killing a twostar general. As the u. S. Prepares to withdraw, can we avoid these insider attacks . The army and the nation has lost a true american hero. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in, wa ton. With a new poll showing that americans are more fed up, the 2016 possibilities are showing mixed results. Kentucky senator rand paul spent three days in iowa taking direct aim at Hillary Clintons record as secretary of state. Specifically, libya. Our embassy finally fled. Hillary clinton made a host of errors being there in not protecting our embassy and i think precludes her from ever being commander in chief because of it. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton was participating in the colbert report. I once had an entire show with president bill clinton. Oh i hate to break this to you, stephen, but ive met him, too. Gosh, you know everyone. What kind of loser do you have to be to not be included in your book . Well, youre not in it, stephen. Oh, arent i . You ever notice how we are now ever in the same room at the same time . Joining me now for our daily fix, chuck todd, host of the daily rundown, chris lizza, and Bloomberg News jean cummings. Chuck, first to you and the new wall street journal poll today that shows, first of all, america has not gotten over the recession. People are gloomier than ever about their prospects. We keep hearing this. You see the Economic Data that comes out from washington, things are moving, we see the job editions and all of that stuff but theres this lingering perception so we really dove deep into finding out where are people in the recovery. They have recovered from the Great Recession technically but you can tell that as far as their psyche they havent recovered but they are still feeling the effects of the stagnation. A lot of the fallout from the Great Recession, that is still there. Anywhere from 1 in 10 to 1 in 3 americans having to deal with some sort of issue right now that is fallout from the Great Recession, eastbound as the, quote, economy looks better. And this is a backdrop and as our pollster said, it is a screaming attempt by the public to say, hey, politicians, the number one issue is the economy. Youre not talking about it and you dont you certainly dont have any ideas that youre campaigning object to try to fix it. And one reflection to all of you, chuck, first, the fact that 57 in this poll of those people questioned say that they were upset about things enough to carry a protest sign. Thats so unusual. That shows you how stirred up people are. There was no singular thing. Weve gotten word clouds of what democrats were saying, mostly mad at congress, what republicans are saying, mostly mad at the president. But you can tell its the polarization of the country in many ways reflected in sort of the anger in the two parties bases. But i think we have the most unusual Political Landscape coming in the fall. Maybe it is going to be a way of election and maybe everything is going to go in the direction of the republicans as history might indicate, sixyear itch and all of that. But this is a much different political climate. This is a group of americans not happy with the direction of the country, not happy with the direction of the president but not happy with the direction of congressional republicans. You have a bunch of voters saying, they are not interested in this campaign because nothing about it seems to be that inspiring. And you know what, they are right. Ive watched these ads, andrea. You have seen them. Name one candidate that has an intriguing campaign on the economy at all. Im not seeing it. Nothing on the economy. In fact, gene cummings, lets talk about whether this actually helps outsidertype candidates, not an outsider but someone like rand paul. Does this disadvantage him as a libertarian . And weve seen him in iowa now for three days. Well, he definitely is doing things differently and that is something that will help him. He is reaching out to minority communities. Hes reaching out to young people. Hes planning to go to college. Just to be different is a good thing. In terms of the messaging of this campaign, its all about the economy and jobs. They dont hear anyone in washington talking about those issues. They hear about impeachment, they hear about immigration, they hear about all sorts of different things. But they have not seen out of this congress and this white house a sustained message for the last year and a half about how they are going to create jobs. And thats what people want to hear about. And what about, chris cilizza, rand pauls policy issue, the fact that he first said and then denied that he said that we should be cutting off foreign aid to israel and egypt, he had real concerns about that, that whole isolationist strain in the republican libertarian part of the party that he does represent and is now trying to clean up . You know, look, i think its probably worth remembering that rand paul has only been in elected office for coming on four years now. Actually, three years. This guy got elected in 2010. Never held office before that. I do think his bigger vulnerability is on Foreign Policy. Its the part of his belief system that is probably further test from the mainstream of the Republican Party and the country. Although, you can argue the mainstream of the country. And i am with jean on this, you look at that poll and that poll basically says everything is broken and no ones offering ideas how to fix it or even saying, what if we look at the problem from a different perspective . Rand paul, to his credit, is saying, lets look at the problem from a different perspective. Lets try to big a different governoring coalition. There are not all that many voices. He is different and looks and talks different than virtually every republican out there right now. Chuck, the one person that doesnt look and talk differently from past campaigns is Hillary Clinton. No, its true. I think this is going to be a real challenge for her. The upside is that when it comes to the economy, the clinton brand is the Gold Standard as far as many swing voters are concerned. You just look at the trend charts, the right track, wrong track number. It never crossed 55 at any point in time during the clinton years. It hit 60 at bush. So there is this sense that the good old days, as far as particularly with voters over the age of ho, 40, is the clint years as far as the chee. Thats the upside. Of course, she still has to figure out, what is the future . How does she campaign and be the future . She solves that problem, shes going to be able to march into that white house but thats her biggest hurdle. Andrea, one other point to make in terms of your poll, as much as obama is in the tank and people are unhappy, if you look at your demographics, the republicans are doing really terribly with all of the growing constituencies, hispanics, and thats why what rand paul is doing is so important, that at least some of them on the republican side try to reach out to those constituencies because the numbers in your poll are quite bad for them on that. Jeanne cummings, chris cillizza, chuck todd, thank you so much. You all might want to change your internet passwords today. A russian gang has stolen 1. 2 billion passwords from hundreds and thousands of websites. The theft was confirmed by a Security Firm in milwaukee working for its clients. This is a major flaw in internet security. Long known by experts but still not addressed. Joining me now is nbc justice correspondent pete williams. This is different than the target theft. Its not your credit cards but it is your passwords and it is showing a big flaw on the internet. Right. Its different from the target breach because target was very careful to attack that website and the way it worked with the retail point of sale. This is a technology to steal data out of websites that has been around for a decade. Part of the lessons here is that most websites do a pretty poor job of security. If they cant defend themselves against a known enemy that has been out there for a decade. Thats point one. Point two is, the milwaukee firm that discovered this, so far this russian gang that has this information is not using the user name and passwords to ex employed peoples personal information and steal their identities instead of selling the ecmails, sort of a marketig thing to send spam emails. Offering to perform a service for people who want to send spam. I guess on the one hand, thats the good news. Youre right that the experts say that its a good reminder to change your user name and password because as soon as you do, the data that this gang has acquired becomes out of date. Thanks so much, pete williamwilliam williams. People are going to be spending a lot of time on their computers. Or not. Or not.

The World Health Organization is holding an emergency meeting in geneva today about the ebola outbreak. A saudi patient who traveled to sierra leone has died. Samples from him are being tested in the u. S. And germany to see if he died of ebola, as suspected. Meanwhile, a spanish priest may soon be heading home to spain soon for treatment. The two americans undergoing treatment at emory hospital in atlanta are showing signs of improvement. The president of the organization is reminding the public about those still fighting for their lives in africa. I dont know if you know, but there are 50 doctors, liberian doctors for 4 Million People of liberia. Joining me now is the liberian Prime Minister. Its great to see you. Great to see you. Thank you for visiting again. Thank you. Youre here for the summit and 14 billion have been committed to the african continent but ebola is at the top of the minds for many people. Tell me what your country is doing to try to deal with this . Its a Big International hub. Thank you. This is where one of our major transport hubs, where the liberian american landed. He was taken to a hospital and what was happening is those that took care of him, theres a case of a man who died but five other cases. The good thing is that they have been identified, taking care of the issues what is going on now. We also have had very good meetings here, including a talk that my president had with Vice President biden, what were doing to identify isolation wards, where people can be taken to and also the u. S. Says they are ready to send people from cdc to work with us. So i think on our own part, we are educating the public. The announcements are out there. We started before we came to the summit. And we are taking strong steps to make sure that this is dealt with and contained. And youve been working on another issue that is so important to nigeria, which is boko haram, the Terror Threat and what has happened to the girls. Young girls have been seen on suicide bombing missions, that perhaps some of the kidnapped victims have sent back out with bombs attached to them. This is not something that weve been able to confirm but these are reports today. What can you and your president do to try to counteract the threat of boko haram . First, andrea, let me make clear, we do not have any reports of these girls being sent out. I just want to make that very clear. The president is doing everything he can. It is a very difficult situation. The reason being, you dont want to do anything that would jeopardize the girls. As you know, were dealing with people who are not exactly you cant there are people who are ruthless. I think thats the only word. So how to use all means, including talking to them, behind including both military and nonmilitary means to try and get the situation resolved. I think all of these actions are being taken. Our heart goes out to the girls and their parents. Theres no one single day that we dont wake up thinking of the situation of these girls and everything is being done. You know, the u. S. , uk, france, and israel, they are all helping us to try to locate and get intelligence and follow what is happening with these girls. Was there too much delay in accepting help from around the world . I dont think so. Maybe delay in terms of information, communication as to what government was doing, maybe some of that at the very beginning. But in terms of action to try to help these girls, no, i would say not. And i also want to say, the president met with all the parents and 57 of the girls who escaped and i was also in this meeting and i was interacting with the girls, talking with them directly, hearing their stories. But more importantly, the actions that we are taking, we also feel that these girls escaped and the chibok girls must come in a different environment. There are two or three initiatives that are being done. One is Safe School Initiative which gordon brown, the former uk Prime Minister has been dealing with and working with us on that Safe Schools Initiative and make it safer for our children and domestic resources as well as international. The president just opened a Victim Support Fund and some nigerian businesses have responded by donating money last week. And finally, theres a longterm initiative to improve development in the Northeast Area where these activities are happening. And all this within the context of this african summit which has shown enormous appetite by American Business ceos to do business in africa. Absolutely. And if you permit, the one thing in spite all of these issues, the American Economy remains strong and resilient. Its great to see you again, thank you so much for this visit. Thank you, andrea. And now to something uplifting. It proves the power of a crowd when people Work Together when this man in perth, australia, caught his leg in between a platform and the train. They pushed it back just enough to free his leg and get him back uninjured. Remarkably, he was able to catch the next train.

Gov today, friends, family, and the military community are mourning the loss of major greene who was killed outside of kabul. He was on a routine visit with Coalition Troops. The shooter was killed moments after his deadly attack. His wife is a retired army colonel and his son is an active army officer. This loss so close to the end of the war is especially tough to take. He was always willing to help soldiers and thats what i always loved about harry. Some of us had to give the ultimate sacrifice, too. Im sorry for it to be anyone but im really sorry, you know, my condolences to his family. President and ceo of the Aspen Institute and the innovators is out this fall and u. S. Army veteran, an accomplished author. Welcome, both. Wes, to you. Here weve got a general who has his ph. D. , hes there, highranking, in afghanistan, visiting Coalition Troops and were on our way out. How can we say Mission Accomplished when were still having these attacks . First, our condolences go out to the family of general greene. He was one of the best that the army had to offer. Its a huge blow to the entire army family. And i think it goes to show just the complications that were not just seeing in afghanistan but well continue to see in afghanistan. And i think it really also shows, you know, two complications that were going to have to deal with as the redeployment process begins. One is the tribal nature of afghanistan. Im very cautious to put iraq and afghanistan in the same sentence but the reason i
