Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Big crowd on the plaza for dnce in our 8 30 half hour. If youre going to dnce today you may want to put baby powder on. A hot, sweaty dance party on our plaza. Looking forward for that. Lets start on a friday morning with politics. Election. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton are exchanging a flurry of jabs. Clinton now saying her rivals rhetoric is taking hate groups mainstream. Lets begin our decision 2016 coverage with nbcs andrea mitchell. Andrea, good morning to you. Good morning, matt. The racial insults were flying between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. He calling her a bigot. She saying that hes helped a radical fringe take over the gop. Donald trump ramping up his war cnn late thursday, again calling her a bigot. She is a bigot. Look at whats happening to the inner cities. You look at whats happening to africanamericans and hispanic in this country where she talks all the time. Clintons running mate tim kaine addressing the bigot word in a taped interview. He called your friend, Hillary Clinton, a bigot. When Hillary Clinton got out fight School Desegregation in alabama. At his early career, donald trump was a real estate guy who got sued by the Justice Department for discriminating against people in housing. Hes taking hate groups mainstream. In major speech, clinton tearing into trump charging her rival with building his campaign on prejudice and paranoia tying him to right wing extremists. He promoted the racist lie that president o dismissing his claims about her health. His latest paranoid fever dream is about my health. All i can say is, donald, dream on. Calli iing trumps new ceo Hillary Clinton isnt just attacking me. Shes attacking all of the decent people of all backgrounds. Doesnt matter. Of all backgrounds who support this incredible once in a lifetime movement. Escalating his attack on the clinton foundation. Hillary clintons constitute all of the elements of a major criminal enterprise. Asked whether his donations constituted pay for play, trump hedged. They like me a lot. If i didnt make that contribution, they probably wouldnt have liked me at all. In his cnn interview thursday night, trump suggested he may position of deportation suggesting no path for legalization for undocumented workers unless they first leave the country and come back causing more head spinning among his supporters and his critics. M matt and savannah . Thank you very much. A lot to sort out with chuck todd and nicole wallace. The olympics glow is still all around matt. Lets talk about the latest back and forth on the campaign trail over ra chuck, to you. You have donald trump calling her a bigot. You have her giving this huge speech which essentially makes the argument that he or his supporters are bigots. Is this a good strategy on either side . Its not a good strategy to hurl epithets at one another. We thought this would be a race to the bottom and this week is proving it. Were headed to a race at the bottom. Theres strategy behind this. Team, has woken up and realized there are republicans not supporting us. If we can fix our problems with hispanic or africanamericans or not sound so hateful than maybe some of the white Republican Voters will come back to the polls. Do you agree this pitch from donald trump, its not to win minority votes. This is about receiving suburban votes in Northern Virginia and southern philadelphia. You name it. Before the last ce Trump Campaign was a possibly willingness on his part to walk back one of his main policy promises on immigration where he said these 11 million people, immigrants living in this country illegally had to leave. Deportation. He comes back and says only the ones who committed crimes. Others can pay back taxes and last night it seems hes back to square one. What is Donald Trumps policy on he got a question from Anderson Cooper about a softening of his position and answered as if anderson was using a word that anderson thought of. Its not a softening. Trump called it a softening in two town halls this week. I say on speeches today when Hillary Clinton went to what all of the republicans have done on race, she cited george w. Bush going to a mosque. She cited john mccain standing up to i wish a republican had given that speech. Theres an amazing thing that happened yesterday. Hillary clinton called the republican nominee a racist. And all these republicans decided to come and say oh my gosh not a word. No republicans outside of the Campaign Said how dare you, Hillary Clinton, call a republican nominee a racist. The sound of silence among mainstream republican elected officials yesterday is stunning. 73 days. I mean, you talked about the bottom. Were looking up at the bottom. Its somewhere weve never been before. I think we sort of entered this black box phase where the crash happened and were trying to figure out how we got here. I would caution republicans to not make this all about trump. He won because people picked him. Republicans have to understand what the good parts were about his message and what they lacked that our voters picked him over 16 others. What i cant figure out is what this ioi turnout. Thats the one last unknown. When you race to the bottom a lot of people are going to say why bother . That scrambles the whole electoral map. Were thoroughly depressed. Thank you very much. Lets bring the olympics back. Happy to be home.

Reads this tweet that i just posted. Oh, that appears to be trending. Were back now. 7 41. We have a today exclusive. Voters in central connecticut this fall will see a new name on the ballot. Dr. William petit. He was thrust into the spotlight in 2007 when he was the sole survivor of a Home Invasion that left his wife and two daughters dead. This morning dr. Petit announces a run forta connecticut but first hes opening up to nbcs senior legal investigative correspondent Cynthia Mcfadden in an exclusive interview. Dr. Petit lost his family and home in a horrific and brutal way. The two men who committed the crime were sentenced to death and then connecticut voted to eliminate the Death Penalty. He was an outspoken critic of the change and now nine years later hes a husband and father life. Was it a big decision to decide to run for office . Yes. You know, its a commitment. Dr. William petit is hoping to represent his neighbors in plainville, connecticut, in the state house of representatives. For the last nine years, hes been an outspoken supporter of the Death Penalty but he says he stands for so much more. Youve gone through a very public tragedy. How has that influenced your thinking for running for office . Has it . Its not the impetus. Some people still stop and say i know where you stand. Youre for the Death Penalty. I say, you know, im not really running on the Death Penalty. So whats important to people is their quality of life, the economy, their jobs, their childrens futures. He was a happily married doctor and father of two until that night in july of 2007 when his wife jennifer and their 11yearold michaela were followed home from a grocery dr. Petit was beaten with a baseball bat and left for dead. His wife was raped and strangled. Michaela and her 17yearold sister were attacked and tied up. They died when the men set fire to the familys home. Your views about the Death Penalty have been controversial to some people. Some say the best thing is forgiveness and how do you deal with that part of it . Never forgive evil. Never, ever forgive evil. Thats what its about. Thats what the Death Penalty is about. Erasing evil. How do you get rid of the survivors guilt that has to go along with Something Like this . I dont think you do. I dont think you do. Its packaged up and compartmentalized a little bit. Its sort of like on the top shelf in the closet in a small have a terrible night or a terrible couple of hours or a terrible weekend or whatever the case may be and then you come to grips and you talk to your wife and you talk to your son and you talk to your family and friends and you wrap it up again and put it in the closet knowing that its probably never going to be gone. Dr. Petit found purpose in helping others. Friends launched the Petit Family Foundation after the murders. It was a very difficult time. They made me the basically would be in bed the entire day, get up, come to the meeting and go back to bed. The foundation has given away more than 2 million to charities in memory of jennifer, haley and michaela and petit got help from ptsd from which he still suffers. How does it manifest . Mostly flashbacks and disrupted sleep people talk closure. There are new beginnings. Dr. Petit met christine when she volunteered at the foundation. Theyve been married four years. Their son, william, turns three in november. This journey you have gone on with this man, it must have its ups and downs like most marriages, right . Maybe higher ups and higher downs maybe. Its certainly more challenging circumstances at times. How do you think about it . Is it aew how do you think about your wife, christine, and your son, little billy. Its new. Its additional. Its different because you never forget what you had. Its part of you. People say how do you go forward . I say, well, your choices are to stay in bed and do nothing or die or go forward. He has chosen to go forward. A really impressive man. Dr. Petit may face an uphill bat his opponent, the incumbent, has not lost an election in 22 years. Just to see someone to have a courage to put a life back together and try to move forward under those circumstances. And be so honest about what he still faces. 100 . It was really moving to be with him. Cynthia, thank you. Appreciate it. Coming up next, well shift gears and go over to the orange room and tamron has the story of here we go, come on.

Interest in the games. Instead of using actual para paraolympians, it contains images of those altered to look like paralympic athletes. This is no vogue said in a statement that they did not create the ad. They just chose to publish it and it turns out the image has the full support from the paralympic officials committee. Athletes have been supportive as well. Two olympians were at the photo shoot helping in the creation process. That im proud to be part of this campaign and that the magazine vogue began to publish the first pictures of this beautiful work. The paralympics kick off in rio september 7th. In the paralympians were there, why didnt they use them in the ad . I dont know. They support the decision. I dont have the answer to the other part of the story. Initial reaction when you see they use able bodied this has the blessing of the people who are in the games. Maybe a good reminder to all of us that when you have a kneejerk reaction sometimes theres more complexity. Its interesting. Thank you. Coming up, what a week its been for our pal, charlie.

We move to the president ial race. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton escalating their personal attacks over racism. Last night trump repeated his accusation that clinton is a bigot. He said shes not doing anything for africanamericans and hispanic in the inner city neighborhoods where she frequently makes appearances. For her part, clinton accused trump of taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe party. Thats quote. Her campaign released a new video that featured forms ku klux Klan David Duke praising trump. Police are investigating a crime that stunned a community. The murder of two catholic nuns.

Rachel chapman was paralyzed in an unusual accident during r 2010. Ever since shes proved that nothing can hold her back. As Janet Shamlian explains, that was true in her latest endeavor. Reporter for most people just thinking about skydiving takes guts. For Rachel Chapman jumping out of a plane is a profile in courage. Why in the world did you want to do this . Ive wanted to do this since i was a teenager. Going to stop me. The wheelchair has been part of her life since her life was forever changed. Another year before she and chris would finally be able to tie the knot. By then, known as paralyzed bride. A term shes embraced amid all kinds of new challenges. Most fulfilling, she says, the couples daughter, kaly. Born with the help of a surrogate last year. Youre your daughter is almost 16 months. She is adapted to me being a mom in a wheelchair. Its fun to see her learn new things. On this day its rachel learning something new. The plan, a tandem jump with mike elliott who leaves the all veteran parachute team.

An article in new York Magazine says theres an advantage to dressing professionally but are more dressed up than your peers in the office. Experts found that workers who intentionally dress either above the dress code, more dressy, or below it, more casual, appear more competent. The takeaway is you seem to be more competent if you stand out. Monday im coming in a tux. Im coming in a swimsuit. Ignore the dress code. Go above it or below it. I think that applies to a do. I think you either dress really casual or go in a full flowing floral number so you stand out. The dress code should not turn you into sheep that everyone is following the same jacket, same tie, same shirt. You have seen guys in the same plaid shirts. Not like yours, mr. Roker.
