Transcripts For KTIV Today 20151022

11th, 2012, when the u. S. Diplomatic mission in benghazi, libya, was attacked. Four americans including ambassador Chris Stevens were killed, and many have been questioning if the attack could have been prevented. A state department independent investigation into benghazi found systemic failures, leadership and management deficiencies at the state department in january of 2015. In a similar report clinton echoed that report, acknowledging a systemic breakdown. Andrea mitchell has more on that and the political ramifications. Andrea, good morning. Good morning to you. With our new poll showing 44 of americans are not yet satisfied with Hillary Clintons answers about benghazi, today is, indeed, her best chance to change all of that. Assisted by the republicans who themselves in recent weeks have hurt the committees credibility. Hillary clinton will be on the week in her Washington Home in a war room with her husband and top advisers. Shes had to field tough questions on benghazi before, including this iconic moment. What difference, at this point, does it make . Reporter clintons game plan this time, not to lose her cool. Dont play the game. Be above the fray and, you know, youll be fine. Reporter House Republicans point out if not for their investigation, no one would have discovered clinton was using a private email server. Democrats see another agenda. Theyre certainly going to try to wear her down. It looks like this hearing that was going to last for two or four hours, theyre talking about six, eight, or ten hours. Reporter clinton is fired up, as she showed in her town hall with savannah. This committee was set up for the purple of making a part sal political issue out of the death of four americans. I would never have done that. Reporter what happened before, during and after the attack, now about to be portrayed in a new movie coming out in january with a story line factually correct. Clinton is facing an ad that aired four times during the debate despite criticism by the families of those killed in the attacks. The mother of one of the victims wants answers from her today. How come she let my son be killed . How come . She knew this was happening. Her numbers are dropping. Reporter its republicans led by Kevin Mccarthy who helped clinton, by acknowledging the politics of it all. And the stakes are clearly very high today for Hillary Clinton and her campaign for the presidency and also for the republicans who so far have spent 4 million over 17 months and have yet to call another Top National Security official during benghazi other than, of course, Hillary Clinton. Matt . Andrea mitchell, thank you very much. Despite what you said, the high stakes at the benghazi hearing today, Hillary Clinton has one less thing to worry about. Vice President Joe Biden is not going to challenge her for the democratic nomination for president. Nbcs White House Correspondent Kristen Welker has more on what was going on behind the Vice President s decision, if you can. Good morning. An extraordinary day at the white house, thats for sure. After more than 80 days of indecision by Vice President biden that the path was too narrow. His son had died in may, which was pivotal, but for biden, bowing out doesnt mean staying quiet. This morning joe biden is waking up to the reality that his lifelong goal of becoming president isnt going to happen now. I believe were out of time, the time necessary to mount a Winning Campaign for the nomination. It was a difficult decision for the Vice President as were convinced a 2016 campaign was a go. Instead they and even the president who served as a sounding board for biden were left guessing until the final hours. With one of the biggest questions of the race settled, Hillary Clinton has the most to gain. Polls show her lead over Bernie Sanders increasing without biden in the race. Clinton called biden after the announcement and tweeted hes a good friend and a great man. Sanders also weighed in. Joe biden is a man who has devoted his entire life to Public Service and to the well being of working families and to the middle class. And so did the republicans. I thought he would have been a competitive candidate in the democratic nomination. I think he did the smart thing because, frankly, i dont know that he would have gotten the nomination. I dont think he would have. Frankly, i really want to run against hillary, i really do. Biden who has run for president twice before at times sounded like a candidate during wednesdays announcement, seeming to take aim at Hillary Clinton, who recently called republicans her enemies. Theyre not our enemies. For the sake of the country, we have to work together. And he made it clear in the months ahead he will not sit on the sidelines. I intend to speak out clearly and forcefully to influence as much as i can where we stand as a party and where we need to go as a nation. Sources familiar with biden tell me an important moment for the Vice President was the democratic debate, when clinton, who had been wounded, delivered a dominant performance. Her poll numbers went up, and his started to drop. And it was hard to see a path to victory at that point. Matt and savannah. Thanks, kristen. Stick around. Were going to bring chuck todd into this conversation. Lets start with benghazi. Thats the news we expect today. Hillary clinton has done a fairly good job of trying to disqualify this panel. Some would argue they disqualified themselves. Would you expect her to kind of call them out on that directly today . Ill be curious to see how aggressive she is on that front. I think that that is actually a riskier strategy. If she you know, you could argue they did the politicizing. They acknowledged it with Kevin Mccarthy, let them live with it. If she doesnt take this seriously, if shes almost too political herself, shes not going to her helms politically with that narrow slice of voters that might actually be persuaded by what happens today. The tone is hard, and she hasnt always gotten the tone right. She got criticized for making jokes about the scandal. James carville said she should stay above the fray. I would imagine there are going to be some tough moments. There are. I think theres two tough things she has to deal with. Number one is, for 15 years, the state department was told it had to improve embassy security. 15 years. This is four secretaries of state. She along with three other secretaries of state didnt do that. Second, is this about libya and the decision to go into libya . Thats where she has no good answers. If they focus on emails, if they focus just on benghazi itself, thats where republicans could fall into a trap and clinton can feel comfortable. Savannah and i were talking. It was bizarre yesterday in the rose garden. Im not running, but heres what i would say if i am. Im not running, but ill take swipes at the frontrunner who, by the way, im not ready to endorse. What was your feeling about that . It was almost as if he was delivering the speech he would have delivered if he had announced. I think it underscores how conflicted he was throughout the entire process. This is someone who always wanted to be president. I think when he looked at the numbers, when he looked at the big picture, he realized it was a narrow path. In order to win the nomination, he would have had to have gone after Hillary Clinton. He would have had to have gone for the jugular. That wasnt the type of campaign whoever said joe biden would look like a candidate behalf hi got out of the race, it was true. He regrets not getting in before the debate. That was not a speech of a man who decided not to run for president. That was a speech by a man who said, i want to be president but i cant figure out how to run. Can i ask about paul ryan . Hes got not the endorsement of the Freedom Caucus in the house but hes got the vote. He egot the vote. Is it likely hes going to be speaker . He said, i wont do immigration while president obama is president. That might have been enough. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Do not forget republican frontrunner donald trump will join us monday morning from New Hampshire with a live town hall meeting with voters. You can join the conversation. Send us a question using using trumptoday. Now to Major Development in 4yearold new mexico girl dead. Authorities arrested a man and charged him with murder.

I can so relate. Dr. Ash is the director of sleep medicine from meridian health. Where to ststt . Thth is the subject that bebevils all o ous new parents, and its crucial for the child and the parent. I mean, for example, you have a kid who was sleeping through the night we saw, and suddenly, waking up and getting in bed. What do you do . Savannah, for most of these problems, and some of the problems, you need to sleep specialist to help, but most of them, what underlying the problem is our own need to make our children feel safe and loved. The physiology of sleep, and not understandndg the consequenens of sleep. Itll l pair your performance, poor mood, indicative behaviors, obesity, increased risk of colds. The are whothings`to do to get the kids back on track. Is the bottom line that, at some point, youre going to have to let your baby cry . Absolutely. Again, its understanding the physiology, savannah. Its really key. Its okay to let your baby cry a little bit. You can go in and say, hi, im here. If you start from the beginning, up until six months, the circuit for sleep and wake is not developed. Theyll sleep and wake when they want. Six months on, theres something you can do. You have an acronym, dream. D. Is for drowsy. That helps your child to learn how to selfsoothe and be dependent on themselves. Dont rock them to sleep . If they wake up in the middle of the night, theyll need the rocking. If you put your child to sleep awake, theyre going to be staring at the ceiling, looking for you to intervene. That invites crying and a glala of water. Put them to bed drowsy. The next one, r, which stands for rules and routine. This is a biggie. This is key. Rules and routine are important for setting expectations and consistency. The brain looks for that, to tell it, its time to go to sleep. You can use some cues, like a warm bath or you can read a book to them. Even conjureg up the emotions ofofalm and comfort. Stick with a routine. Stick with it. E, electronics. Good or bad . Theyre bad. Get the screens out of the room. The light from the electronics will tell the brain, the day is not ended and its not time to sleep. Youre playing on the iphone for the bigger kids. The parents talk about, they can be the get their kids to bed and cant get them up in the morning. Thth electronics interrupt howow the clock works. That leads to the next, which is a for ambiance. You want to set the mood. You want quiet, dark, cool and cozy. If its too noisy, get a white noise machine. Make sure the mattress and pillows are right. Make sure the temperature is right. You sleep in a cooler environment. I have a few seconds. For m, model the behavior. Kids learn by example. You should be doing the same things. It motivatat them, iff curursity and a challengng go too a website withhem and learn about sleep. Make a fun activity on a saturday. If they get up, you can go to this fun place. If they get up without an alarm clock would be the key. If theyre doing it right, they dont need an alarm clock to get up. Dr. Ash, good tips. Thank you so much.

Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take, with al roker, natalie morales, willie goois geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a at rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Its thursday, october 22nd, 2015. Willie along with al, natalie and tamron. It is mets day here. Yes, it is. I know yourere a chicago native. Im not a native. Sorry. Predicted it. I thought this was their year. What they say in chicago next century. No. Thats a thing. Joe. You know what . The mets, i love the mets. I love curtis granderson. Hes my favorite player outside of any ranger player in the league. They earned it. Murphy, too. Mazing. Hes going to be earning more. Yes, he is. Thats murphy hitting a home run at a post season ga for the sixth consecutive year. Mlb record. He has seven altogether in the post season. Still with the world series in front of him, as the mets swept the cubs at Wrigley Field, 40. You feel bad for the cubs. They have a great, young team. Theyll be back, tamron. You cant say, next year. Next century. They will be back. They will be, but you know, in chicago, its like, oh. It hurts you. Thats what i feel bad about. Ooking at the faces. The hopes were high. Of the fans. Espececally last nnght. Mmhmm. When you could tell they knew this was it. It wasnt going to happen. Thats a bad feeling. You want it to be a little closer. I wish they won one. For it to be a sweep, i fell like its kind of like it would have been worse to go seven games then lose. I always wondered about that. They werent even in the series. At least they show up and give it their best. Im trying to help out the chicago people this morning. Is it working . No. Isnt it more painful if you come that close and miss, as opposed to, we werent even in it . Forget about it. I need one win. I can look at my tv and keep playing that back. The cubs are like the cowboys, in that they are americas team. Even though you love your mets, in the back of your mind, you want a little bit of chicago. I think everybody roots for the underdog. I think they will have their opportunity to be the top dog soon. 100 years. Before that, before that. Toronto blue jays. They up. They have to beat one of nosethose games. People are saying Wrigley Field is a jinx. No do renovtion. No. The shell is still there. I dont know. I dont think you should, but they renovated fenway and won a world series. I know. That might be the ticket. Well see. Also, big headline politically, joe biden, after waiting weeks, it seemed like forever, the Vice President came out yesterday to the rose guardarden yesterday and made it initial, he is not running for president. The grieving process over his beloved son beau was pivotal in his major decision. Lets take a listen. Ive said all along what ive said time and again to others, it may very well be that that process, by the time we get through it, closes the window on mounting a Realistic Campaign for president. That it might close. Ive concluded, it has closed. But while i will not be a candidate, i will not be silent. Obviously, pledging there to be an active part in whomever gets the nomination on the demooratic side. Howresidential he looked there with the flag. Dr. Jill biden sitting there next to him. We watched this play out, and joe biden, arguably, one of the most liked politicians on both sides of the aisle. Hillary clinton contacted him right after that. Bernie sanders also commented. Donald trump weighing in. The front runner on that side of the race. Lets take a listen. That might be the first time in history you cant heardidnt hear donald trump. Ouch. He hasas sense of humor. Its all good. Im sure well see in a weet from him. Or a direct call. You never know with him. Heres a second shot. Donald trump. I think he did the smart thing because, frankly, i dont know that he would have won, he would have gotten the nomination. I dont think he probably would have. Frankly, i really want to run against hillary. I really do. So you have, now, people who, and were talking about sports, so many people say our political process, its seen as a sporting event. You heard the crowd, in the matchup between Hillary Clinton and donald truup. Would that have been a better matchup, joe biden ersus donald trump . I dont know. We were talking about this earlier. The other thing i saw yesterday, besides the politics, was a man who has been in Public Service more than 40 years. Thats it for him. Thats the end. Hes run for president before. Now he plays out the next 15 months in his political career, and its effectively over. You saw some of the sadness. Is he a king maker in some ways . Hes still pivotal. You testify nitly got lydefinitely got the sense that he, by saying whoever he pledges his support to, should run under ppsident obamas legacy. You knowthat he is somebody who is goingto help and pave the way for whoever it is. Not just the nominee, but other democrats who are running, as well. Itll be interesting.
