And the sweetest celebration. Nfl player, devon still gets married. A wedding they werent sure they would be able to have after leah was diagnosed with cancer. Today, saturday, may 14, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today. Live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. Welcome to today on this saturday morning. Im in for chanel jones, enjoying the morning off. Thanks for being here. How are you today . Trying to get this lump out of my throat. Our tea is here, by the way. I didnt realize i lost my voice until i got to work. When you get dressed, you dont talk to yourself. Yes. We are going get you through it. Thank you very much. Bear with me, we are going to get through it together. We want to get through the top story. The audio recording that surfaced from the 90s that sounds like donald trump as his camp denies he is the voice behind the call. The reporter on the other end says she has no doubt it was trump. Jac jacob rascon has more. Reporter trump pretended to be his own publicist, admitted it, apologize zed for it and now denying it as surrogates are making rounds telling everyone it is time to move on. The year was 1991, trump facing a barrage of press about his dworsz. Im sort of new here. Reporter People Magazine boasting about trumps personal life. Gets called by everybody in the book in terms of women. Reporter the reporter is sue who says trump admitted to her, it was a joke. Theres no doubt in my mind that he apologized to me and made it clear he was the man on the tape. Theres no doubt in my mind. Reporter the voice is familiar. I can tell you this. I can tell you this. You understand that. You understand that. Reporter john miller was the top trending tweet on twitter. Show us his birth certificate. Trump, himself, denies all of it. It was not me on the phone. It doesnt sound like me on the phone. Reporter his surrogates calling it a distraction. At some point, we have to start concentrating on whats important. The issues that face our country are monumental. Reporter they tell Cynthia Mcfadden it wasnt her speculating, it might have been trump. If i didnt give it to the Washington Post, who did . I think trump is behind letting this go. Why . Why does donald trump do anything that he does . Reporter she was not the source and the campaign didnt respond to specific questions about that, only saying the man on the tape is a bad impression, of mr. Trump. Jeff . Thanks. We are going to break this down with a republican strategist and Communications Director for paul ryan. Ari is msnbcs chief league correspondent. Good morning. Good morning. I want to start with you and the tape, a bizarre situation. We are heading into a general election. Is this the type of situation that swing voters start to care about . Well, doesnt seem to matter to his voters. What does it tell us new about him . We know he was a playboy in the 80s. Now we know he was his own publicist. He had the time to sideline doing that. Look, this is this is an unforced error for him. For me, whether or not it matters to voters, he didnt need to lie about it. He could have admitted what most people already knew that he was doing this in the 80s. You worked with paul ryan as Communications Director. This impacts the voters, does it impact paul ryan . Is he the guy that will dig his heels in over this . Not over this. Paul ryan has been put in a difficult spot as speaker of the house. Members of the house are for, against and still considering donald trump. To get behind him, he is buying the time and the space. They have to see how donald trump responds and campaigns. This doesnt help, honestly. Donald trump made a deal out of the fact he is selffunding his campaign. Two sources saying he will raise funds for the general and may pay himself back, ultimately. Do you think that will impact the voters . He made such a big deal out of it. The question is, do people see something he promoted as a centerpiece . He has the money, hell spend it. Now in the general election, we learn hes going to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. Thats more than anything in the primaries that blows up the idea hes independent. At the end of the day, this, not unlike the spokesman thing which is more weird and stupid than important, are questions people look at and say, okay, donald trump seems different. Is he different good or different weird . That is important. You cannot run right now as being the same as a washington politician. Different can be good. Does it take away that aura if he works with the establishment . It can. If you look at the money, hes raising it from the same old crew, voters who thought they were going to get Something Different voters say the closer he gets to washington the more he looks Like Washington and works with washington. People have to know, can they believe what this person says. Quickly, i want to get both of your reactions to this. Wall street journal report that said the Clinton Global Initiative was helping to facilitate commitments that ultimately benefited a Public Company and they had ties to the clintons friends. Legally, a lot of folks say this doesnt cross the line but does it and is it a problem for the clintons . It can be. Based on the report, there is nothing against a law that they gave money to a for profit instead of nonprofit entity. They have done a ton of good work in africa and around the world. Nobody denies that. A lot of people celebrated it. The problem here and the question here, was this focus on good works or part of a larger branding to hand out deals or favors that never looked good . Trump is going to be able to make the place we have been saying for a long time, the Clinton Foundation has been a slush fund for his Campaign Operatives and the people knew for years they kick money over to their friends. This is an icky thing. This is not a big story, but when they come to light, you are going to hear more and more about it. Trump is going to make a big issue of it in the campaign. Thank you very much, appreciate it. One former republican president ial candidate is deciding whether he will attend this summer. Rubio is trying to stay in the spotlight in his hometown of florida.
