Prince harry. Harry delights the crowds and the president during a quick trip to the u. S. What he revealed about the moment he says changed the direction of his life. Today, thursday, october 29th, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today, with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a thursday morning. Usually, you and i track through the debates. We couldnt keep up. My thumbs arent fast enough. There were different moments. Fiery, intense, heated. Pick any of the words to describe the republicans third debate. While the candidates have issues with each other, they shared a collective target. Last night, it was the media. Well break it down and talk to the man who many people think won the night, marco rubio. Highlights. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Among the nights winners, two ambitious senators, marco rubio and ted cruz, Chris Christie, all setting themselves up to rise. Jeb bush gave a poor performance after what was a chaotic and contentious night. Call it the rumble in the rockies. Donald trump and ben carson faded to the background. The biggest clash, between marco rubio and his onetime mentor, jeb bush. After rubio was pressed about missing dozen of senate votes and bush called him to resign. When you signed up for this, this was a sixyear term. You should be showing up to work. Literally, the senate, what is it, a french work week, you get three days you have to show up . Rubio turning in what many consider the best night of his campaign, blasted that as a convenient criticism. The only reason youre doing it now is because were running for the same position, and someone convinced you that attacking me will help you. Heres the bottom line reporter john kasich didnt mince words, tearing into trump and carson. Arguing both men are unkwaulqualified to be president. Folks, we have to wake up. We cannot elect somebody that doesnt know how to do the job. He was such a nice guy and said, im never going to attack. Then his poll numbers tanked. Thats why hes on the end. He got nasty. You know what . You can have him. Reporter the candidates cheered on by the colorado crowd were united in their contempt for the moderators and the media. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American People dont trust the media. Nasty question. Propaganda. All the mainstream media. Reporter the chairman spoke after the debate. It was one gotcha question, one personal low blow after the other. Executives at cnbc, nbcs sister network, shot back. People who want to be president of the United States should be about to answer tough questions. On stage, Chris Christie showcased his tough personality. We have people out of work, isis and al qaeda attacking us, and were talking about fantasy football. Reporter Carly Fiorina acknowledging a weakness. After the last debate, i was told i didnt smile enough. Reporter all night, bush struggled to seize the spotlight. You find a democrat thats for cutting spending 10, ill give them a warm kiss. Reporter how bad was the night for bush . The nomination isnt going to be decided after the course of one debate in october, but a republican operative tells me this morning that his campaign is now on life is now on life support. His one job last night was to show he could own the stage. Savannah, in his operatives words, he didnt. Peter alexander, thank you so much. Senator marco rubio is with us now. Senator rubio, good morning to you. Good morning. Good morning. You were up late. You have an Early Morning to join us. Has that blow softened at all by the fact that most viewers thought you had the breakout performance of the night. Is that how you feel about it . We feel good about it, and its just a debate. Weve already done two others and felt good about those, as well. Theres more to come. We have another one in 13 days. For us, every time i get a chance to do the debates, its an opportunity to hopefully talk to the American People about the future of our country and what i would do if they gave me the chance to be president. I felt good about that chance last night. Of course, were looking forward to the next one as well. Everybody is talking about the moment between you and governor jeb bush, your former mentor and friend. There were a lot of comparisons to the young jedi taking on obi wan kenobi. There was another analogy, when your kid whips your behind in a oneonone for the first time. Because you do have this personal relationship with governor bush, what was it like taking him on in that moment so directly and so personally . You know, i s4ill have tremendous admiration for him both as a person and what he did as governor of florida. Im not going to talk bad about governor bush. My campaign isnt about him. Im not running against him on anyone else. Im running for president. What ill continue to do, and what i hope more candidates will do, is well talk about who we are and let the voters decide. If there are policy differences between them, we should engage on those policy differences. Thats how im going to run my campaign. Of course, everyone can run theirs. I wont change how i run my Campaign Based on what other people decide to do. It wont change my views about him. That said your Communications Director last night told reporters your phone is already buzzing from bush donors, ready train. Is that true . Were trying to get new supporters. It cost money. If the media stops charging for advertising, well stop raising the money. Its expensive to communicate with the American Voters and to get the message out. I know youve heard this in recent times. Once and for all, answer the sentinels question. Should you resign . Would you resign . Why not leave your senate seat and just remove this issue from your opponents, remove it from the discourse . Well, for me, its an incredible honor to serve in the United States senate. I enjoy very much to serve the people of florida. For example, we serve real people every day. The veteran who has to fight for his disability benefits and prove hes disabled even though hes missing both legs, or the elderly couple whos convicted of tax fraud. Were going to continue to do it. Senator rubio up early with us this morning. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Lets bring in chuck todd, nbcs political commentator and moderator of meet the press and nicolle wallace, former Communications Director for president george w. Bush. Lets start with a quick, one second, who won . Ted cruz. Okay. Timing seemed to be the biggest player in the room last night. Timing that donald trump lost his national lead. He was subdued. Timing that ben carson took the national lead. He didnt want to mess up. And timing that jeb bush seems to realize his chances are slipping away. Yeah, jeb bush didnt have the night his campaign acknowledged he needed to have. Afterwards, jeb bush said, im not a performer. Unfortunately for him and all the people who admire the way he governs, you have to become a performer to win the job. It was not a good night for jeb bush, and now people are saying how much longer will he stay in the race. His people are constantly saying, were in it through the early states. We have the money, the organization. But is there kind of, for lack of a better term, a death watch . Can i tell you last night in boulder, it felt like a wake. Other Campaign Operatives were not gloating about this. They were like, oh, my god, is jeb not going to actually make it to the starting line . That was the air in there. Look. Hes got that 100 million in the super pac. He has the safety net. The first president bush getting whipped in the primaries didnt get out until may. There is no way the second bush was whipped by mccain, he didnt get out. That said, theyre going have to throw something to the wolves. Hes going to have to do something publicly, do something with the campaign to shake it up. Nicolle, the people on the side of the stage there, did anybody do or say anything, anyone like kasich, Chris Christie, or fiorina, that will move their numbers . Chris christie has strung together a magical moment in the debates but its not showing in the polls. I thought trump was subdued, but he had the town hall demeanor. He seemed to be holding back and only engaging where he had to. I say cruz was the winner. Cruz was the winner because of his indictment of the moderators. Republicans are desperate for someone who stands up against what they feel is a rigged system. And thats sort of the elephant in the room we havent talked about. The media was the opponent not on the stage right with them but, clearly, a big part of this debate. Fairly or unfairly, this is a Winning Strategy for candidates. Well, it is. Cruz captured the moment better than anybody. Look. In many ways this was a premeditated attack. There had been some leaked ideas that, you know, beforehand, they were going to go after the moderators and say, hey, the democrats didnt get questions like this. And they determined this before boy, cruz captured the moment. He was magnanimous. He actually came across as the guy that supposedly everybody secretly doesnt life, but he was the guy that defended everybody on the stage. Maybe an important moment for him, if he does what hes trying to do, which is vacuum up trump and carsons support if, not when in my book, but if they falter. Chuck todd, nicolle wallace, guys, thank you very much. By the way, jeb bush will be chucks guest this sunday morning on meet the press. Thanks, guys. The other political intrigue in washington. The paul ryan era is under way on capitol hill. The congressman was nominated to the next speaker of the house, and theyre making it initial with a full house vote this morning. Ryan said the Republican Party lost its vision and he intends to begin a new day on the house of representatives. Lets turn to the drama in the sky thats captivating the country.

The size of two football fields, the balloon dragged a heavy milelong cable, hitting utility lines, knocking out power to nearly 28,000 people.

It comes amid a series of recent shark attacks off the mainland waters this year, from california to north carolina. Due to the unusually high spike in incidents, experts in hawaii this morning are warning swimmers to stay out of dirty water. Dont go into the ocean at dusk or dawn. Never go out alone. Ocean safety officials have posted temporary shark warning signs and theyre strongly recommending that people stay out of the water there in oahu today. Dont have to convince me.

I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Next up at the plate. Chobani flip.

But it was already in gear. That caused the jeep to lunge over a retaining wall. And fall on a woman several feet below. She was taken to the hospital. But is do you think when you are president youll be paid as much as if you were a manmale. This is one of the jobs where they have to pay you the same.

In her new movie, our brand is crisis, shes a Campaign Strategist hired to help a struggling candidate in bolivia. Did you hire me . No. I hired you. Nobody hired me. I cannot be hired.

Were all rolling down a [ bleep ] hill and nobody is at the wheel. How can you not say what youre supposed to say . Because im not just a puppet. Of course you are of course youre a puppet. Sandra, welcome back. Good to see you. Pry to this prior to this movie, when was the last time you mooned somebody . Excellent question. Probably within the last year. Really . If i was going to be honest. Not a croissantkrescrescent moon, a full moon. When i go, you have to shine all the light you can on the subject. If you can find something to basically have the light bounce off of, which would be the mooning, itd be great. Find a light source. Were you sceptical about that scene in the movie . Absolutely. Im the most modest person. For some reason, that day, i had no problem doing my job. So you did not have a stunt person . You did all your own stunts in this case . I did not say there was not a stunt person. Im just saying that i had no problem being in character that day. Lets move on. Please. Tell me about jane bowdinebodine. Tough as nails, rough around the edges, yet, she has this vulnerable side. Yeah. One designed to hide the other . I think one is exacerbating the other. Shes brilliant at what she does, but she struggles with addiction, mental illness, and shes a brilliant strategist. You dont realize at the beginning that one might be affecting or exacerbating the other. Did you find her to be a likable character, or is it depending on which scene youre in in the movie . I liked her a lot. Why . Shes truthful about who she is. In terms of her level of being broken, shes not pretending to appear to be someone else. Shes just doing her job and doesnt mind looking ugly at it. Much has been said about the fact that George Clooney and you are executive producers of the movie. Much has been said about the role had been originally written as a male character. What made you read it and say, this should be a woman and i should play this person . Its that when i read it, i heard the voice and i knew how to play it. Some roles are inherently lyly male and female. This one didnt have to have that. It was a human role, and it was one that i was very familiar with. I know some people that are like that, in that struggle, and that are complex and irritating and aggressive and just powerful but, yet, incredibly broken. Some people say not only was it written for a man, but George Clooney was going to play the character. I havent heard anybody confirm that. No. Well, im here to confirm thank you. That he, at the time, was not attached to this film, to play the role. You didnt steal a role from one of your best friends . Ill steal something from george, just not this role. Ill steal other stuff, like maybe a house in italy. Take that. In a heartbeat. Can we talk about Billy Bob Thornton . Yeah. He plays bad so effortlessly. Yeah. Whats it like to play opposite that guy . You know hes going to kill you, maybe eat you along the way. But youre okay with it, oddly. You go, okay, if anyone is going to do it, its going to be you and im okay with it. What i think it is, is billy is truly one of the nicest people and the most honest person you will ever meet. Thats always going to shine through, no matter how despicable he is. Youre watching him going, i know hes going to kill me, but im entranced right now. Enjoy the process. Exactly. You shot in bolivia, new orleans. Yeah. Close to home. Yeah. How old is louie now . 5 3 4s. What will he be for halloween . Ninja turtles. You okay with that . Yeah. He chose inappropriate batgirl. He chose it for you . Should i be flattered or disturbed. I said, i dont want to wear that around your friends. He goes, you have to. I go, i dont have to do anything. Mom got backup. It is a problem for a lot of womens costumes. They tend to move in that direction. But im always in awe of the women who can commit to the naughty nurse at preschool. Yeah. I cant. Too early.

Were back with todays eess fear factor. While you were hanging out with prince harry last night, this is the home of your favorite monsters. Well need garlic for this. And a wooden stake. I was chilling with the pope last year. Prince harry is nothing. Be afraid, guys. In the mountains of romania is a castle of a certain notorious count dracula. Was he a figurementment of a Story Tellers imagination . We took a trip to transylvania to find out. Reporter set in a strange place. Welcome to transylvania. Reporter the land beyond the forest, threw mountains deep into this dark country. Even the graveyards seem morer eerie than back home. Theres a subperstition, if you have a damaged grave like this one, someone or something may pop out. Reporter you say its superstition and, yet, they found bodies with stakes through the heart. Yes. Superstitions have. Reporter superstitionsrred the creator of dracula. I know what youre thinking. Dont go up there. Reporter this is the castle where he imagined dracula lived. A perfect setting for a vampires house. Even secret passageways. 15th century, just like in the movie dracula untold, lived a war lord, named the impaler. His name really was dracula. Dracula is the son of the devil. Reporter a bloodthirsty killer. He impaled his enemies. Nickname came later with the brutal habit. Reporter the description of impaling is so, how can i put it, vivid. You really dont want to hear it on morning television. Would you like to know more . Not really, no. Reporter 500 years later, the king family from michigan are safe, in the day, anyway. Is it scary here . [ squealing ]. Reporter at night, according to stories, dracula searches for innocent victims. Vlad the impaler lived in the medieval town. This is where dracula was born. He was feared. Though he was a ruthful ruler, someone left flowers here. Hes popular in romania. Everybody loves him. Reporter perhaps truly scary are the romanians today who look at their politicians and ask, where are you, vlad . Vlad the impaler, dracula, is their preferred politician . Everyone would answer with yes here in romania. Reporter despite his unquenchable thirst for blood, like the vampire count he inspired. Its tomato juice. Isnt it amazing to think the creator of dracula never went to transylvania . I dont blame him. I dont really feel the same since i got back. You are a geek. I like it. It was fun. Next time, more dramatic music. It wasnt enough, right . Exactly. Thank you.
