Blast. Do i get judged on maybe not as being as artistic as the next artist for that . Maybe. But i mean, at the end of the day, i feel like my art is the ability to get people together and make them have a good time. Then, as the number of traditional bars in the United States continues to decline, americans are moving the party to their homes. Steve patterson explains. Being in an atmosphere where its crowded and the music is blaring, we make it what we want. Harry smith takes us to one of americas most beautiful places where there is a fight between preserving nature and creating good jobs. Boundary waters watershed from copper mining.

Janet is in lockhart, texas with the latest. Janet, what happened here. Reporter willie, good accident in u. S. History. It burst and crashed into this corn field saturday morning. The balloon appeared to be flying unusually low in the moments before the crash, and there is speculation that it may have hit the high power lines about four stories tall that run through the field.

Donald trump is facing criticism for his response to the parents of a fallen muslim soldier who spoke thursday night at the Democratic National convention. He was responding to mr. Khan trump asking what sacrifices trump made for this country. In an interview with abc news, trump was asked to respond. I think i made a lot of sacrifices. Ive worked very, very hard. Ive created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs. Those are sacrifices . Oh, sure, sacrifices. I think when i can employ thousands and thousands of people, take care of their education, take care of so many things. Later in the day. Running for president is not an entitlement to disrespect gold star family and gold star mother not realizing her pain. Shame on him. Shame on his family. Well talk more about what trump said about the mother in a moment. Trump later released a statement calling captain khan a hero, but saying the real problem is the efforts of Hillary Clinton tweeted captain khan and his family represent the best of america and we solute them. Meanwhile, shell be on the road today in ohio for day three of her bus tour with running mate tim kaine and bill clinton as well. On saturday mark cuban endorsed clinton at a rally in pittsburgh.

Daredevil luke akins jumped out a plane without a parachute going into free fall for two minutes traveling 150 miles an hour and somehow managed to land directly at his target, which was a giant net about the third of a size of a football field without so much as a scratch. Hes obviously the first person ever to do that. Lets join our crew around the table to talk to historic head spinning week through. Baratunde thurston, a cultural writer, bestselling author and cohost of the about race pod cast and the onion, hes back from covering the dnc making his historic first appearance on sunday today. Welcome. Thank you. Very good story. It is. More history here because with us for the first time a Deputy Communications director for the congressional leadership found and head of Hispanic Media relations until she stepped down a couple months ago. Welcome. Good to see you, ruth. Good to be here. And katy tur is our nbc correspondent that will not be told this morning to quote be quiet as she was by the candidate at a press conference this week. Welcome, everybody. Cheeky. Well leave it there. Okay. I want the spend the whole show talking about a guy that jumped out of a plane without a parachute. Unbelievable. A powerful metaphor for where we are as a nation. Is there a net . That is the key question. Lets dive into the khan situation. You had donald trump going after the man who made the speech on thursday. I want to play for people that maybe didnt see it some of what mr. Khan said on thursday night. Let me ask you, have you even i will gladly lend you my copy. [ cheers ] have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery . Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending United States of america. You will see all faiths, genders and [ applause ] you have sacrificed nothing. And no one. Mr. And mrs. Khan lost their son to a suicide bomber in iraq in 2004. We played you the part earlier where mr. Khan responded talking about the sacrifices, donald trump responding to that but also, donald trump pointing out something about mrs. Khan standing next to mr. Khan. To say. She probably, maybe she wasnt allowed to have anything to say, you tell me. Plenty of people have written that. Lets dive into this a little bit. Donald trump implying there because shes muslim perhaps she wasnt allowed to speak and she came out later and said no, its so hard for me to talk about my son, i cant look at his picture on the screen. Weve seen moments in this campaign where everybody thought this was a turning point for donald trump, and they havent been turning points. Yeah. In fact, in many is this different from your seat . I think its a new low for him but hes a master of the low so i dont see this as a turning point, much as it is a more consistent version of the trump weve seen. That family represents the best of us and thats not a partisan thing to say, its an american thing to say. And it is disgusting for him to lay into them in the way he did and not even see or acknowledge the pain they have. He also, to be honest, he should be the last person to talk about beside himming and when his wife speaks, its another persons words. Its inconsistencies on this is totally incredible. The lesson i think he learned from the primary is that he could say whatever he wanted and there was no consequence for it. Shoot from the hip. He is doing that here. Do you feel from the republican side this is different this time . I think first of all, this speech was powerful. It impacted independents, republicans, transcends party lines. I think it was sacrifice, and it was powerful and impactful. Surely wont question the experiences or the rational the khan family has to support Hillary Clinton. Obviously, their experiences have led them to that support. Similarly what we saw during the rnc was pat smith who also lost a son in benghazi and very much opposing Hillary Clinton, i wont question her rational. And i think its those two families represent the best of america. And the sacrifice and the bravery that they had is something that i obviously dont have. And when they say that, when one family serves, i think we got to see that in that speech. Are you surprised that donald trump went after this issue . I feel like this is one he would step back from and say i honor their sacrifice and not get into a fight with this family . I think the correct approach on the subject of can i jump in on the idea of being surprised by Donald Trumps base level behavior . Hes shown us who he is for decades. In 1989 there was a famous and heinous crime committed in central park. A jogger was brutalized, nearly killed, sexually assaulted, five teenagers, black and brown teenagers were railroaded into a false confession, sent to of the death penalty. He called for the murder of black and brown children. This was voluntary. He wasnt running for president or aiming for office. He was a private citizen using his wealth and platform trying to murder innocent children at the hands of the state. Its not surprising. Not the first time and certainly not the last. Katy, there is a rhythm and youve watched it for well over a year donald trump gets embroiled in one thing, russia this week. That was four days ago. Weve already moved past that. And before that ted cruz and before that melanias speech. Is this a strategy . Did he know ill engage these people to move on from russia . I think hes an opportunist in that way where he takes opportunity to make a new headline and to say this is just coincidence would be blind to the past year and the events that have happened. Donald trump has consistently changed the subject to another controversy over and over again. I think this coming week well move the subject away from the khan comments. These things dont last more than a couple days. Frankly, they never do. I want to read a tweet, ruth, from john kasich of ohio who is obviously not a supporter of donald trump and ran against him. He wrote this, there is only one way to talk about gold star parents, with honor and respect. Captain khan is a hero, together we should pray for his family. I guess my question is, why havent we seen more of that . Paul ryan put out a statement but didnt specifically go after donald trump. He said the muslim ban is a bad idea. Why havent we heard from people like john mccann on this one issue . Time and again you have seen Republican Leaders come out, paul ryan come out and oppose Donald Trumps muslim ban and kasichs tweet. Youll see more Republican Leaders come out and give their opinion on this issue and i think that thats the right thing to do. We want to hear because we that loves to talk about and we hold the constitution for love of country, patriotism, faith, freedom. Wouldnt it be obvious to say this is wrong, this is a family that lost their son in service of the United States. I think you will continue to see that and john kasich said that. Do we want to see more, absolutely. I disagree. I dont think youll continue to see this because they havent been confronted. Thats the reality. They havent been confronted with the camera and not confronted with the camera with the russian comments which is why were seeing Republican Leadership including Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan not comment on this because frankly, all they have been doing is commenting on donald trump. They are trying to distance themselves from it very not saying here is the issue this is the standard bear of their party and they have to get behind his comments or take a stand. Thats what many people are what many find offensive means they are approving it and maybe they dont find it offensive and female like khan came out and attacked donald trump and he deserves to be hes basically asking for it and deserves to be part of the conversation because he was the one that punched first. Donald trump always called himself a counter puncher. The republicans that havent commented on it are approving it but also they havent had the camera in front of their face. I think we should also remember, remind us this is not a normal election and donald trump is not a normal candidate. He pretended to be a democrat for a long time. He wasnt. Hes pretending to be a republican right now. He isnt. He is not republican. He is not democratic. He is not one of us. Hes in a special category of his own and only looks out for himself and to the extent he made sacrifices, only to his people. Of his of his creditors, of his i think the outrage is justified a lot from folks who believe he has gone too far in attacking a gold star family. There are a lot of people watching john mccann and other leaders in the party on this story to see if they step up. Absolutely. But i dont think that heres the fundamental difference. I had a long conversation with a guy just this week about donald trump and he likes him. Hes supporting him, and i said, you know, what about the controversies and the fact he often is not telling the truth . He said none of that matters because i think we need stronger borders. Is less illegal immigration now than 2007 . I dont care, i think donald trump will make it stronger and better. There is nothing you can say to sway his base of support. There is nothing he can say to sway his base of support. Well see if there are people in the middle that can be swayed. Stick with me for the highs and lows of the week including bill clinton celebrating like a gleeful kid at chuck e. Cheese as balloons fell from the sky in philadelphia.

The enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. The whiteness wasnt there as much. My teeth didnt look as healthy as others. My dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. So it was really important to start using the pronamel. Itll be one less thing you have to worry about. Pronamel is now giving me the confidence. We all right. Baratunde, ruth and katy back with me as we run through the highs and lows of the week. The high between a Texas Police Officer and a 2yearold friend. Patrick ray and bexley got together over tea and oreos to lips turn blue and realized she swallowed a coin and couldnt breathe. Her mom called 911 and the officer ray responded off his lunch break. When he arrived she was unresponsive but he cleared her throat and brought her back. A year later she invited him over for tea and tiny chairs to say thanks for saving my life. That cleanses the palate. Thats beautiful. I love the idea maybe shell get hell have to remind her look, i saved your life. Seriously, you have to be very careful. Throw the tea party. It balances out. Shes playing a game. The first low to Donald Trumps opinion of the heating and cooling system at the hotel in virginia where he held an event this week. Temperatures were hot and a big crowd was pack into a ballroom and hotel to see trumps speech. The republican nominee got warm here we are in a ballroom and i feel like im in a sauna, so i dont know what hotel this is but you ought to try turning on the air conditioning or youre not going to get your pay. These people. [ cheers ] am i right . Its hot. Said they should be ashamed. The hotel had to put out a statement defending the air conditioning. Katy tur, you were in the room. How hot was it . I was there. It was a sauna. To be fair, secret service l the doors open to let the hotel people in. It was not the hvac. It was the people coming in. I like he announces hes not going to pay. If youre struggling to pay your bills, you probably dont want to elect a guy who doesnt pay his. Bill clinton at ceremonial but he looked up at the shower op red, right and blue Party Accessories with new eyes this time, big gleeful eyes full of wonder. He caught them, he popped them, he kicked them, he loves them. As mtvs rachel said on twitter, find someone that looks at you the waybill clinton looks at balloons. Good advice. I shouldnt be comparing a former president to a golden retriever. I know what you mean. He took the balloon a little girl tried to take it and hes like, no. Exactly. Our final low goes to the thief who picked on the wrong sunbather. Guy was walking through a park on a nice day when he stopped to talk to a couple women. When he walked away, one of them noticed her phone was gone. Bad news for him, shes a super jacked cop. Down and called for uniformed police. He tried to escape her death grip but as you can see that wouldnt happen. She took her phone back to the beach blanket and became an International Web sensation. That makes me want to commit more crimes. Yes. Yes. [ laughter ] guys, appreciate you being here. Thank you. Good conversation. Katy, good luck on the road. Thank you. Dont be quiet.

Our man across the street, jimmy fallon summing up the president ial campaign after two weeks of conventions. In current album, luke bryan sings the line hunting, fishing and loving every day. Thats the prayer that a country boy prays. Bryan built a career telling stories about simple, smalltown passions. But while he may very well be sitting at a deer stand at this moment, hes also sitting atop the Country Music world. This month Forbes Magazine listed him on 37 on the list of the highest paid celebrities where hes wedged between jayz and kim kardashian. Country music associations entertainer of the year before the first of two soldout stadium shows in foxboro, massachusetts. How many guitars do you travel with. Too many. Probably two. Too many. . She said play it again, play it again, play it again . Luke bryan collected more guitars than he can count during his long road trip from a small town in south georgia to the biggest stages in music. I actually did some math. Leesburg, geora, 2,800. Right. You could fit 21 leesburg georgians in this stadium right here. Isnt that crazy . Lets go back to leesburg, georgia. Do you remember the music on in your house . My parents, the radio stations on their cars were on the radio, on country radio from Ronnie Millsap to kenny rogers to george straight. Would sneak away and listen to def leopard, journey. That devils music. We were as country as kids could be country but somehow we would be listening, you know, nwa made it into our world somehow and eazye and the beastie boys. When did you get your first guitar then . Do you remember . I was probably the summer that i turned 14. Taught yourself . I taught myself chords and i had a piano in my room. I would learn a few chords on piano. At that point i realized im going to be a horrible athlete. I recognized that and got a band together and i would play guitar. After high school, luke was ready to take the guitar to nashville but with his bags packed, tragedy struck the bryan family. Lukes older brother chris was killed in a car accident. 19 years old, fixing to chase my dream. It just totally rocked our familys world, rocked my world. Do you feel like you had to grow up pretty quickly when that happened . It makes you appreciate chasing dreams. Youre like hey, you get one go round at this thing called life and its very fragile so you better go after your dreams. Bryan put his nashville dream on hold, heading off to college at Georgia Southern university where he played in a band and met his wife caroline. After graduation, he made that delayed trip to music city where he caught on as a songwriter. Did you ever think you would be a songwriter. I could have been a songwriter forever and had number one hits as a song writer and that could complete my dreams. I felt given the right scenario, entertain some people and really make a difference. I was always kind of shooting for that, that chance. . . He got that chance in 2007 with his first album ill stay me when spun off a couple top hits. . . In the decades since, bryan has become one of the biggest acts in all of music selling putting out 15 number one songs. Thank you so much, guys. Luke bryan. Love you so much. Luke bryan. [ cheers ] . . Bryans concerts are more like backyard parties. If your backyard could hold 50,000 people. . . You play songs to throw a party. You want people to have a good a blast. Do i get judged on maybe not as being artistic as the next artist for that . Maybe. I mean, at the end of the day i feel like my art is the ability to get people together and make them have a good time to the point to where they may not even admit to have had such a good time. . . Ive got to ask you about the moves. Its a little bit of elvis, its a little bit of chippendale. The moves happened from the soul, the spirit, from deep within. I dont know. I mean, most of the time its just, just being playful and if i can do all that, then they immediately realize heck, i can, too. Thats the fun part about it. So my wife appreciates it, your ability to have fun. Ill teach you a move or two back stage. So whats the song you will play tonight that will make this place explode . Is there one number wherever time you play its a tie definitely between, i dont want this night to end and country go shake it for me. I dont want this night to end is pretty darn spiritual and everyone is here to hear country girl shake it for me. . Shake it for me girl, shake it you know all the girls are ready to shake it and all the guys are have been waiting to have been waiting for their girl to shake it. Its the pretty magical. But in between the hip swivels and party songs, luke bryan can slow it down, too, singing about much heavier subjects. . When i got the news today . 11 years after the death of his brother and just as his rise then in 2014, tragedy struck again. Kellys husband died leaving the couples three children without a mom or a dad. Luke and caroline opened their door immediately adding three more kids to their family of four. And its an amazingly emotional, tough moment watching these children navigating life without parents. We just want to be positive for them. . . . Drink a beer . All that loss is packed into one of bryans biggest hits, drink a beer. A song not about tailgating but about missing the people youve lost. . So long my friend . Longtime friend and collaborator Chris Stapleton wrote the track. In a breakout year that included bryan who talks about his buddy like a proud big brother. . Drink a beer . So many talented people running around nashville but its just not in the stars sometimes. So when you line it all up and it does happen and somebody who deserves it yeah. Thats the real thing. Totally. Just two days after our conversation, luke turned 40, a number hes coming to terms with. Caroline says growing old is a privilege and it is. I love the wisdom of 40. Im not sure i love the sore knees at the end of a show, certainly a stadium show, but with all the stuff thats certainly happened to me and my family, i think its important for me to inspire people that you had some bumps in the road but you can still try to walk through your daily life pretty optimistic and having a blast he seems to be doing pretty well two weeks into his 40s. In october, luke will travel to eight small towns in 11 days for his annual farm tour where he and his band set up and play on a real life farm with proceeds going to scholarships and farming communities.

Someone first came up with the idea to sling drinks with a wooden counter and stools around as the number of bars in the United States continues its steady decline. Steve patterson tells us americans have figured out a different way to toast life. If it looks like a bar and it sounds like a bar, then its got to be a garage .
