wanted man? we have all lost. tom brady speaking out for the first time since his suspension was overturned. thanking his fans and the judge who squashed his case. >> when you say that brady is a liar, you better be careful, fella, because you don't know -- >> brady gets set for the start of the nfl season today. saturday, september 5th, 2015. welcome to "today" on a saturday morning. >> i'm erica hill. >> i'm peter alexander. appreciate you starting your holiday weekend with us. this brady thing is messing up a lot of fantasy football leagues right now. tom braid where i, one of his buddies saying we're ready to play some football. >> dylan dryer is ready for that too. >> i did say from the beginning i'm going to say it played out, and we're good to go. >> to the top story. the one that led to the debate nationwide about the rule of law versus religious freedom. we reported the county clerk who refuses to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples and won't let her deputies do it either. she remains behind bar. we will get to her attorney in a moment, but let's go to nbc's sarah dallof. >> reporter: she has been doing bible study in the jail behind me and she is prepared to stay there for as long as it takes. a defiant kim davis, behind bars. her husband says she will not quit as rowan county clerk. a judge declined to put the contempt order on hold while davis's attorney filed an appeal. the couples finally got their marriage licenses from the clerks. >> i want to go hug my mom. >> reporter: davis's soldiers say she is a fighter. >> she will not resign. she cannot sacrifice her conscience. she is willing as dr. martin luther king jr. wrote, to pay the consequences of that decision. that's why she's here. >> reporter: davis is getting support from politicians in the race for the gop presidential nomination. mike huckabee, a former baptist minister is planning a rally and visit with davis in jail. >> this is the criminalization of christianity. what she did was follow the kentucky constitution. >> reporter: the aclu and the representatives say her continued choices are keeping her in jail. >> she chose not to comply with the law. for every other citizen in the country, you break the law, there are consequences and there are consequences for government officials. >> reporter: controversial case that could go on indefinitely. and davis's attorneys are questioning if the licenses issued yesterday are valid since they don't contain her signature. the county attorney and attorneys for the couples assert they are valid. complex issues ethical and legal here in kentucky. peter. >> sarah, thank you. >> matt saber is the founder of liberty counsel and attorney for kim davis. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> you said your client is not going to resign. she holds the jailhouse keys at this point. she won't resign. she could go back and simply not issue those licenses to same-sex couples herself. she won't do that. in some ways, that could be a win-win? why not take that option? >> because number one, she was elected by the people for 27 years. they want her to serve. if they change their mind, that's up to them. she is doing a great job. she will return $1.5 million in savings to them. she will continue to serve the te people. she cannot sacrifice her conscience. she cannot allow the marriage license that conflicts with her christian beliefs. it cannot go out under her name directly or someone else doing it under her authority. what she does, whether a deputy clerk does it or she does it, it is under her authority, kim davis, the clerk of rowan county issuing a marriage license that directly collides with marriage of the union of a man and woman. all she is asking for is reasonable an accommodation. that is remove her name and authority title off the certificate. it put it under the commonwealth of kentucky for example. not under her name. >> she is not comfortable with that. that's her conscience. how is her imposing that on her staffers? how is that not imposing on them? now they are forced to make the decision. do they disobey their boss or disobey the government? >> she has a great collegiality with her staff and they are long time friends. they were coerced by the judge with jail time to issue the licenses. that is understandable. she has nothing but respect for her staff. >> are you saying that is not her imposing her beliefs on them although five of the six said they are okay with it? >> if you had the president under his authority issue something directly, it is the president speaking. in this particular case, whether it is her speaking or deputy clerk doing it, voluntarily or under coercion, it is her speaking. it is her authority. it is her license. she is the elected official. they are not. the people put her there. it is her authority. >> mat, at this point how does this end? >> we don't know how it ends. that is part up to the judge and appellate court. there is so much due process violated by the judge. there was no notice for potential incarceration. the judge did not allow significant briefing. it was a pre-planned situation. all of the things set up with no notice to kim davis. there are lots of issues we will appeal. we are appealing. we are challenging this contempt order. we want to get her out of jail. she doesn't belong there. she is a prisoner of her religious freedom conscience. we call opinion the governor. he could act and resolve the situation with an executive order and the legislature could convene and resolve this not just for kim davis, but all the clerks in kentucky. >> mat saver, thank you. to politics now and hillary clinton on the campaign trail this morning. just one day after offering a public apology of sorts about that e-mail controversy in an interview with nbc news. nbc's kelly o'donnell is in new hampshire with that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, peter. the trail can be chaotic and busy place. clinton has gone from the interview in new york to puerto rico to make a campaign stop and now here today in new hampshire to shore up key parts of her democratic base. some of those voters are uneasy about the e-mail issue. to a degree, clinton is acknowledging what this costs her. >> our country. >> reporter: hillary clinton offers this apology. >> at the end of the day, i am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions and i take responsibility and it wasn't the best choice. >> reporter: clinton is paying a steep political price for her decision to use a private e-mail server at her home instead of the government system while secretary of state. >> well, i certainly wish i made a different choice and i know why the american people have questions about it. >> reporter: in an interview with nbc's andrea mitchell, clinton defended her actions above board and acknowledging polls show damage to her trustworthiness. >> it doesn't make me feel good. i am very confident by the time this campaign has run its course, people will know that what i have been saying is accurate. >> reporter: often the target of donald trump, clinton rejected his blast your opponent style. >> he is great at innuendo and conspiracy theories and really defaming people. that's not what i want to do in my campaign. >> reporter: now trump has tripped himself up on foreign policy with an interview with hugh hewitt. >> are you familiar with general sulemani? >> yes. >> he runs the quds forces. >> yes. i think the kurds, by the way have been horribly mistreated. >> not the kurds. the quds forces. the bad guys. >> reporter: trump turned on the interviewer by phoning in his complaint to msnbc's "morning joe." >> i thought he said kurds. every question was do i know this one and that one. >> reporter: and that interview is well regarded in conservative circles. in that very trump way, he came back saying he would know more about foreign policy than hugh hewitt by election day. here today in new hampshire, hillary clinton will meet with democratic women and organized labor. important on this labor day weekend. peter. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. and andrea mitchell conducted that interview with hillary clinton on friday. andr andrea, good morning. >> good morning, peter. >> you questioned her about the e-mail controversy and the take away was she was more contrite and no more jokes. does this mean the campaign needs to be more serious about the controversy?

>> they believe they can get their arms around it. there was nothing illegal. they are saying they didn't know what the fbi is going to end up doing. it's clearly been damaging. it has created a headwind. a lot of what he called noise out there. i think they are trying to adopt a different tone. you saw that in the interview. she is saying she is sorry it caused confusion. she did not directly apologize. that is one way i would state it. and when i asked if she was too lawyerly. she came back and said i'm very careful about my choices. in a clear contrast to donald trump, we were discussing at that moment in the interview, when you are running to be president of the united states, you have to be careful about what you say. she is trying to show herself to be more of a potential leader than some of the opponentoppone. >> hillary clinton will testify about the benghazi attacks. this is sure to come up again. andrea mitchell, thank you very much. terrific interview. you can watch "andrea mitchell reports" every day on msnbc. heading overseas now. a glimmer of hope for migrants stopped in hungary. many were finally able to make it to austria. the trip they are desperate to make. nbc's foreign correspondent richard engel is on the border of austria. good morning, richard. >> reporter: good morning, erica. this has created congestion at the hungarian border with austria. buss have begun to cross into austria bringing migrants trapped in this country. it is creating expectations. they made it. they won. buses took thousands of migrants from hungary into austria this morning. a simple border crossing, but this was a hard-fought victory which they had to earn one step at a time. from there, many were quickly loaded on to trains for vienna. friday, the migrants and refugees, mostly from syria, finally got fed up and hungry and decided to head for the austrian border on foot. 100 miles away. the hungarian government had been giving them a hard time. corralling them into camps and sometimes beating them. one lost his leg in an air strike. like many, he was angry and confused why the hungarian government was hassling. he said we bought train tickets and they won't let us travel. with many following in step, babies in the sun, two in a stroller, it became embarrassing for the hungarian government, which finally gave the migrants what they wanted. passage out of the country so they can head further north and west to wealthier parts of europe. erica, this crisis is in no way over. the march yesterday was so powerful and embarrassing to hungary, the government relented and sent the buses. today, more people are on the march. more migrants and refugees decided to give it a shot. the hungarian government said what happened is a one-time deal. it doesn't want to get into the business of ferrying people through the country. expectations have been raised. people back on the streets. we will see what happens today. >> there is much more attention from around the world. richard engel, thanks. another story closer to home. annual pillow fight at west point. sheinelle. >> this is getting a lot of attention this annual summer ritual. it has taken a brutal turn. the military academy acknowledges an august pillow fight meant to let off steam, left cadets battered. pillows stuffed with hard objects injuried 40. one knocked unconscious. officials regret the injuries, but so far no one has been punished and the academy has no plans to end the tradition. a multistate recall underway for salmonella linked to imported cucumbers. the san diego distributor andrew & williamson says they he are sold in stores and used in restaurants from alaska to florida. and new england patriots quarterback tom brady had some comments after the judge voided the suspension. brady took to facebook to thank supporters for standing with him in challenging times. he said everyone in football had lost because of the controversy. he pledged to make his fans proud this year and beyond. and finally, a hero off the field becomes a hero on the ball field of his hometown. anthony sadler got a heroes welcome. sadler jumped into action on the french train. last night, he got to revel in the applause of his neighbors. he threw out the first pitch. >> talk about lives taking a quick change. >> in one moment. we are talking about the forecast. heading into the holiday?
