This morning, the link to another crime that helped crack the case. And under pressure. Amid sinking sales, apple expected to unveil the new iphone 7 at a big event. Will it help the tech giant cook up big sales today, wednesday, september 7th, 2016. From nbc news, this is today with matt lauer, live from intrepid sea, air and museum in new york. And savannah guthrie, live from are rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on this wednesday morning. Intrepid sea, air and museum along the hudson river. This is the site of tonights commanderinchief forum, the first joint candidate event of this general election season. Im going to tell you much more about what we have in store for the candidates here later on. But savannah is back in studio 1a a few blocks from here. Good morning to you. Good morning. What a setting you you have there, and voters consistently say the top of their list in importance. No question about it. Let me set the stage for you, savannah. During this hourlong event, clinton and trump will appear backtoback, taking questions on National Security, military affairs and Veterans Issues from an audience of active and veteran Service Members. Now, last night there was a coin toss. It was held to determine the order of appearance. Trump won the coin toss. And has chosen to go second. Hillary clinton will go first, savannah. Okay. And matt, what these candidates have to say when they get their turn is going to get a lot of attention. Away now. And with that in mind, here is a first look at the state of the race today. Ahead of your forum, trump has stopped both here in new york and in philadelphia, where the republican nominee will also be addressing Veterans Issues and National Security. Chelsea clinton will be in the Battle Ground state of pennsylvania, as well, hitting the campaign trail for her mom for the First Time Since the birth of her second child, aiden, back in june. And the race in pennsylvania is tight. The latest poll Shows Hillary clinton leading trump in that state. But now just by four points, matt. Its a tight race. All right, savannah, thanks very much. A lot to get to in the president ial race, including another new toll significant to tonights forum. National correspondent Peter Alexander here with me on that. Good morning to you. Good morning. Not a bad backdrop for tonight. The issue of veterans, Foreign Policy and National Security. Of course, the most important responsibility for any president , their role as do some pretty skeptical voters. Our brand new poll out this morning shows nearly 60 of americans say they do not have confidence in trumps ability to head our armed forces. And 52 say they lack the same confidence in clinton. Facing their first fierce battle, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trumps test tonight to portray themselves as a credible commanderinchief. Clinton launching a preemptive strike onair, b targeting his controversial comments. John mccain, a war hero. Hes not a war hero. Hes a war hero because he was captured. I like people who werent captured, okay . Still the poll shows trump leads clinton among veteran voters. The billionaire with 88 retired generals and admirals who signed a letter supporting trump to reverse the, quote, hollowing out of the u. S. Military. Not to be outdone, clinton this generals and admirals supporting her. The candidate also weighing in on global hot spots, like north korea. What i would do very simply is say, china, this is your baby, this is your problem, you solve the problem. Reporter on syria, ducking a question about whether he supports a regime change. Look, we have a problem. Its called isis. Isis is fighting syria. Reporter and on russia. Wouldnt it be nice if we actually got along with russia . Reporter even using Vladimir Putin looks at her and he laughs, okay . He laughs. And then he smiles. Boy, would he like to see her. Reporter clinton firing back. Were going to work with our allies, not insult them. Were going to stand up to our adversaries, not cozy up to them. Reporter in a tightening race, clinton is trying to get back on offense, hammering trump for refusing to release his tax returns. He clearly has something to hide. We dont know exactly what it is. Reporter trump slamming clinton after the fbi revealed during its interview with her about her private email server she repeatedly couldnt recall key details. If she really cant remember, she cant be president. She doesnt remember anything. Reporter now back to the topic of tonight, heres another statistic that stuck out for us. More Americans Trust Hillary Clinton to make the right decisions with the nuclear codes. 44 for clinton. Just 24 for trump. But dont trust either of them, and just to emphasize the importance of this National Security debate, remember this sunday marks the 15th anniversary of 9 11, and American Voters are already making up their minds. Early voting, including mailin ballots by active duty military, matt, begins in many states this month. All right. Peter, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Lets talk more about what we expect to hear from the candidates tonight. Lets bring in Nicolle Wallace way to the intrepid with me. Good morning. Talk about this polling that peter just talked about. 59 of people dont trust donald trump with the future of our military. 52 dont trust Hillary Clinton, and yet she is trailing with active military and veterans. They measure your toughness and if donald trump has one asset that wasnt damped by the post convention stress, its the sense he is still tough enough. I think that was one of the attributes that held up. What he has to prove tonight, he can also be measured and i think thats his test tonight. Steve, this is about that 3 00 a. M. Phone call, this is about National Security. What does donald trump have to say to prove to American Voters that he is, in fact, ready for the role of commanderinchief . Yeah, because the other poll number out there that always jumps out at me is temperament. She is beating him 21, 31. So i think he needs to display some competence here. Its when he had those gut decisions. The poll about your finger on the button. They dont trust him right now with something that basic and that fundamental. Steve brings up a good point. Donald trump the word you hear more often than any other is temperament. When it comes to Hillary Clinton, you hear judgment and trust. What does she need to say to veterans and voters tonight that lets them understand that shes got the right judgment and they can trust her to make those key decisions . So theres a that question, and who actually forged relationships across the aisle. And that was the Hillary Clinton who served in the United States senate as new york states representative. She was on the Senate Armed Services committee. She made many trips to the region. We were a country at war while she was a senator. She needs to this is sort of her weakness and her asset. Her weakness is there are different versions of her she showcases. Her asset is she has a lot of experience and thats the Hillary Clinton that needs to if you put their resumes side to side, steve, she has much more experience in this area. But resumes are doubleedged swords. On the one hand, youve got the experience nicole talked about. On the other hand, youve got to run on your record. Is it a problem for her . Thats the interesting thing. Remember n 2008 when she was running against barack obama at the beginning of that campaign, they thought maybe Foreign Policy and National Security would be the big trump card. It turned out it was the iraq war vote from 2002, the legacy of the iraq war. You have that interesting situation where donald trump, he had made comme i to the iraq war on radio shows saying he was for it. But hes trying to run as a candidate who says i was against this thing from the beginning. It was a disaster. Hes trying to pin that on her. Well see if there is a back and forth there. Unscientific poll up into the event tonight. Whats the number one threat facing our National Security right now . Real quick. I think what people feel the number one threat is the lone wolf attacks where people are radicalized by internet and they can go out by themselves with a weapon which is pretty easy to get here in this country and self radicalization. Of we talk so much about the threats external coming in. But people here dont have to go overseas, dont have to meet anybody and things can happen. Steve and nicole, thank you both very much. Thank you for watching. Thank you very much. You can watch our forum, live tonight, 8 00 eastern time on nbc and msnbc. Lets go back to studio 1a. New fuel in the controversy facing the Obama Administration. Over payments it sent to iran earlier this year. The white house is now saying cash, amounted to 1. 7 billion. Nbcs ron allen is traveling with the president in laos this morning and has the latest. Ron, good morning. Reporter under pressure, the administration admitted that it spent some 400 million using that money as leverage to help free four americans being held in iran. Now the wall street journal reports within a few weeks iran got another 1. 3 billion, all that money in cash. About whether all that money was ransom. The Obama Administration has said all that money, 1. 7 billion, was owed to iran. Settling a decadesold dispute about a failed arms deal, an agreement, they say, that coincided with the prisoner release and implementation of the iran nuclear deal. The president has insisted the deals were not connect and had were not ransom. We do not pay ransom for has refused to reveal details about when and how the cash was sent and say hundreds of millions in cash could end up in the hands of terrorists iran backs and endanger americans. The white house insists it revealed the Cash Payments in august, when asked whether an additional 1. 3 billion had been sent to iran, just like the initial 400 million payment. We havent been as specific about the mechanism of the interest. Reporter the administration insists the details must be kept secret and sanctions against iran. Still republicans on the hill want to introduce legislation that bans any payments to iran, and demands billions from the regime to compensate victims of terror. Savannah . Ron allen traveling with the president , thank you. New developments this morning in the bill cosby Sexual Assault case. Lawyers now saying that the comedian is the victim bias.

A break in the investigation came last october, when new technology linked heinrichs dna to another unsolved Sexual Assault case.

Reporter former anchor, Gretchen Carlson, agreeing to a accusing former ceo, roger ailes, of Sexual Harassment in just a short time later, one of the networks top anchors calling it quits.

Good morning, savannah. Talk about range. I mean, there are those moments of lefty in this. But this is such a dramatic script. Chris kelly, who just became the head writer at snl, sent the script to me. And its about a struggling comedy writer who moves home to take care of his dying mother, me. And the script is just breath taking. I really cried when i read it. And i have two kids myself, im a mother and i related to how this mother wants to fight to the end of the earth for her kids. And what mothers will do for their children and how deal with loss. And it explores its a drama, but explores the comedic elements and the family dealing with this tough time. And chris kelly, writer at snl, you guys never crossed paths, but he, of course, knew of your work and he really sought you out, because he wanted that unique combination of somebody who could do the dramatic parts of it, but find that humor, because it sounds like that was the story he wanted to tell about his own mother. Exactly. His own mother he said his family was funny and his mother so im so i just feel so lucky to get such a juicy part like this. Im like thank you i feel so fortunate. And you actually have a background in drama, right . You studied at nyu, straight drama. You were not a comedy actress then. No, not at all. I was a regular actress doing dramatic monologues and even on saturday night live, i consider myself more of a dramatic comedian. I would always do dramatic mary th i like drama or drama with comedy. Yeah. Its funny, because i was reading your background and realized, oh, my gosh, you left snl in 2001, it feels like yesterday. You made such an impact. Aww. And that has to feel good to have characters that have with stood the test of time and people still talk about them. It does, savannah. It feels so good and i get it every at a, i get it at the hotel yesterday. And i get it all of the time and i feel so lucky. That was a great job for me and such a great break. I saw Lauren Michaels last night and were still really close. And its such a unique show and i feel so it was just the greatest. And youve made such an interesting career with a lot of different kinds of roles since. You have also a new tv series, divorced. Yes. You get to play parkers besty. And i would like to be her besty in real life. Tell me about the show. The show is called divorced and i play her best friend and it explores marriages and people look at their own marriages and my particular character is in a push pull relationship with my husband. The show is excellent. So juicy. Sarah Jessica Parker is a delight. I feel like a fan who won a part on a tv show. And shes so pretty and look at her sparkly shoes. Everything you would want her to be and more. I would want to oneclick everything she is wearing and i love how they describe the first episode. Something juicy happens at your house. And thats where this whole thing starts. Yes. But i guess youre not going to tell us what that juicy thing is. No, i cant. Youll have to tune in october. Molly shannon, thank you. And other people opens in select theaters this friday. And itunes, as what a pleasure you look fabulous. Thank you. Oh, my goodness. Were on the path there. Next, the king of World Records tries one more jewel for the crown. Welcome back, everybody. This is fun. Trying for some new records all week long in honor of the brandnew Guinness World record holder, the farthest back flips in japan. And then remember yesterday, the fastest straight jacket escape. Almost. This morning, this is exciting. We have brought in the man who holds the record for holding records. Take a look. . . Meet the recordbreaker. Since 1979, he has made a career out of breaking Guinness World records and has broken more than 500 so far. From the longest somersaulting distance to the fastest staff race to the apples cut in for holding the most begin necessary records title. He will attempt to set a new record by popping the most balloons with his mouth in 30 seconds and kids, dont try this at home. Hope you have been practicing. Hes here and the Guinness World record communicator. You have 587 records, total you have accomplished and 209 are current. Right. You. How come you love doing this . I love it. Had always been a fan as a kid and then started a teenager, i had a teacher and the whole philosophy is about self transcendence, we have this inner strength which we never use and you can always challenge yourself and do better and push the limits. But youve got a great imagination, because you have to come up with a lot of these things to set the record. Yeah, but i do, but a lot of them they have a tremendous imagination. The guinness book. There are a couple rules. What does he have to do to make the record . A couple rules. The balloons themselves have to be at least 27 20 centimeters in diameter, just under eight inches. All right. Ease hes got to burst at least 27 of them and he can only use his mouth or teeth to burst them. No nose. Have you been filing your teeth . Ive been working on it. Okay. All right. Im goingo official here. So you start it up, okay . 30 seconds. Okay. Are you ready . Yeah. For the record, 3, 2, 1, go go come on, you can do it. Youve got to get to seven. Oh, my goodness. Hes on fire. On fire. Ten seconds gone. Its difficult it is hard. It has to completely deflate to count. All right. Going. Youve got about five seconds left. 4, 3, 2, 1 stop so lets see. The last one didnt rob, you want to count them up for us . Sure. Thats a lot of work i have to say wouldnt it be great if they were helium balloons . I did it were doing a little calculation here. Now you hold the record for one minute. Most balloons popped in one minute, right . So were going for a new record here. Okay. So we said the minimum he had to achieve for this record seven. Right. There was a few we had to discount because he used his hands to assist with the bursting of the balloon. But with a total of 19, i can confirm this is the new Guinness World record. Awesome congratulations. Thank you very much. Thanks, guys. That was fun. Was it harder than you thought it was going to be . Absolutely. It was harder than i thought, yeah. And you now currently hold 210 Guinness World records. You are no longer invited to my daughters birthday party. Thank you so much thanks very much. Good to have you. Thank you. Congrats.

From nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, tamron hall, and billy bush. Live, from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this wednesday morning. September 7th, 2016. Want to say thank you to both of you, checking in on me this morning. I took my daughter to school yesterday, boarding school. And a lot of people boarding dont know. I went to boarding school. You kind of eat, work, play with your peers. Are you there the entire School Season . Do you get to go home . Oh, yeah. Builtin study hall. How many times do you want to tell your kid, go up to your room for twoandahalf hours, dont come out. Instead you say, go up to your room for the next three months and ill see you dont play video games. In this case, they have to do that. Its really regimented. This kid is a selfregulator anyway. Setting up the lights. Things for me to do. This was the firefly lights up in the corner. She really made it homey and beautiful. And the last text we got last night was i love my room, thank you both so much. And the sweet thing i texted a kid, keep an eye on her. I saw her with her mom, she was crying she said shes home sick. Last thing she sent me, i am with her right now, we went to the ice cream social and were watching a movie. Oh, that kid. There was a lot of moms crying, and me my wife shes not a big cryer. Im a huge cryer. So i tried not to let her see it. I turned after i hugged her and walked and ba boom. I remember my parents dropping me off at college and that was the first time. And i went to high school here in the city. And i went to go see them and they were staying at the Howard Johnson in oswego. I went to go pick to say good night to them. My mom comes, okay. And my dad comes and the first time i whats wrong with my dad . He had been crying. I mean, just i mean yes. Tough guy and he was just crying. That was his moment. I remember crying in kindergarten. Thats how when youre a kid and your parent leaves you for the first time. All these years later i remember sitting on the carpet and our of Mercy Catholic School with all of the other kids and watching her face, and i was, what, 4 or 5 years old. I just remember thinking, what happened . Theyve left me and even in college. I grew up very conservative. I wasnt allowed to sleep over at anyones house. The first time i slept over at anyones home, other than my familys home, college. Wow. 1,578 miles from my parents door to Temple University, and i had never slept over at someones house. Isnt that crazy . My parents let me thank you. Shes more worried than you are. You know what you can to to take your mind off of it . Go see this movie, sully. I saw it last night, the premier last night. And it was spectacular. Wow. Miracle of the hudson. Sully sullen berger, landing u. S. Airplane in the hudson river. An amazing story. Masterful job collecting this. Tom hanks and Aaron Eckhart are the pilots. Just amazing. You know how this thing turns out. Right. Right. But i will guarantee you first three minutes of this movie the landing first . Im not im not it is Clint Eastwood also composed the theme. And, by the way, this was captain, tom hanks and Aaron Eckhart. I love the Product Placement in the background. Now owns usair. But it is its only 90 minutes. Which, you know how many movies have you seen in the last, say, five years where you thought, i could cut 20 to 30 minutes out of this movie easily. Its one of the reasons i dont like going to movies. There is not a wasted frame in this movie. Really . And you said its one of the best movies.

Whether this is leftover or storebought, keep it on hand. Youre going to saute some onion and butter, garlic, sage. Add your soup here and use pumpkin puree if you like and cook it until its nice and thick. Were going to pretend its there. Add in some boiled so there this is already cooked. You get this almost like macncheese, except its healthier, lighter. This is some you can use spaghetti if you like. Thats really good. You have a little hazelnuts here, and maybe some chives. Thats fantastic. Now here youve got a an apple pie, sort of pumpkin thing. Without a big crust. Right. Apple pie in an apple. So what you do is there you go. Were going to take this and go make a million bucks with it, you and me. So you cut the top off and hollow it out just like that. And you take everything you scooped out, sugar, cinnamon, and give it a good mix. Right. And here we have some pie dough. Yep. Going to put it right in there. And then you take, you know this is about four inches round, put it right on top. And you made these cute little leaves. The today food team made them and theyre beautiful here. And then you cut brush butter on this . A wash. Egg wash. And then after you bake it, 350, 45 minutes, you get these almost like a whole entire pie. You can basically eat the whole thing.
