"today," saturday, october 15th, 2016. from nbc news, this is today, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning.

welcome to "today" on saturday morning. i'm sheinelle jones alongside craig melvin and dylan dreyer and stephanie ruhle. we have a busy saturday, don't we? let's get right to it. let's begin with the latest from decision 2016 with the election 24 days away. here's the state of the race today. donald trump still pushing back against allegations of sexual misconduct being brought against him. he has rallies scheduled for new hampshire and maine today. meanwhile, hillary clinton will not be making any public appearances today. her running mate, tim kaine, will be at a campaign event in miami. there's a lot to get to this morning. let's begin with jacob rascon, he's in bangor, maine, ahead of donald trump's event later to y today. >> the trump campaign wants to get back on offense but the candidate finds himself defending accusation after accusation that he kissed and groped women without their consent. trump is blaming all of it on a vast left wing conspiracy.

>> it was a rigged system. the whole system is rigged. >> his campaign on the ropes, his teleprompter's broken. >> and i actually like my speech better without teleprompters. >> donald trump lashing out in north carolina. >> false smears for personal fame, who knows, maybe for financial reasons, political purposes. >> reporter: implying his accusers are unattractive. >> she would not be my first choice, that i can tell you. >> reporter: trump is the real victim, he insists. >> the political establishment is trying to stop us because they know we are a threat to their totally corrupt control. >> reporter: after denying ever kissing and groping women without their consent -- >> have you ever -- >> have respect for me. no, i have not. >> reporter: eight women have come forward to say, yes, he did. melinda mcgivilrey.

summer zervos. >> i pushed his chest to put space between us and i said, come on, man, get real. he repeated my words back to me, get real. as he began thrusting his genitals. >> reporter: ace kristin anderson says she met trump at a new york city nightclub in the early 1990s. >> the person on my right who unbeno nonknownst to me at that was donald trump put their hands up my skirt. he did touch my vagina through my underwear. >> reporter: nbc news has not confirmed any of the allegations. appearing on "today," vice presidential candidate mike pence said the campaign would produce evidence on friday to vindicate his running mate. >> coming in, frankly, probably in a matter of hours. >> reporter: that evidence, a british man who claims to have a photographic memory and insists that 30 years ago he witnessed one of the accusers, jessica leeds, coming on to trump.

other women who have worked with trump have come forward to defend his character. >> and behind the scenes we're all serious, because we know donald trump is such an incredible and outstanding man. >> reporter: hillary clinton's campaign, meanwhile, after wikileaks released another round of embarrassing e-mail. one asking bill clinton to cancel a speech to a wall street investment firm. eventually convincing them it could be a consequential unforced error just before she announced her white house bid. nbc news has not authenticated those wikileaks documents. minutes ago, donald trump tweeted again, on defense, saying these are 100% fabricated and made-up charges that will poison the american voters' mind. donald trump is in new hampshire today and then in maine where we are, a state worth four electoral votes and where the latest poll has him down by nine points. back to you.

>> all right, jacob rascon for us. thank you. let's bring in joey reed, iskaf. ladies, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> all right. let's get to it. let's start with donald trump yesterday. going after the women who have accused him of misconduct. going after the media. again, this vast left wing conspiracy. a lot of folks say at times he seemed unhinged. >> ripping apart his teleprompter. there seems to be an emotional breakdown. he seems to be lashing out at the republican party for not standing behind him. he seems to want the republican party to join this bizarre defense of attacking the women. it is not a good look. i feel for his campaign team. put it that way. >> not a good look.

it has been an avalanche of bad news for donald trump. if you look at the battleground states. he is still holding his own. are there people out there who view this as white noise and don't see the negative? >> hillary clinton has not had a good week. the e-mails continue to drip, drip, drip. it is not helpful to her campaign. in the rock, paper, scissors of politics, sex scandals beat e-mails. he didn't do that in the debate. he won the debate, but did not expand the electorate. they are not that close and it is not enough. losing by two points still doesn't make you president. >> you mentioned hillary clinton. i want to mention the obamas. you have michelle obama delivering that emotional speech on thursday. saying she was shaken to her core by the allegations.

how effective is that? >> think about it. hillary clinton has the current president of the united states and vice president of the united states sort of a grab bag of all the political stars of the democratic party. donald trump has a guy of questionable morals saying he was on an airplane with him in first class. there is a contrast there in the level of support that hillary clinton has. listen, michelle obama is probably the most effective communicator on the scene right now. that includes barack obama. that speech was so impactful and effective because it got to what most people feel when they watch the horrid election that our children are watching this. this is impacting or girls and boys. it is impacting our image around the world. as parents, it is painful to watch our country slide into the abyss that has been revolving around the scandals. it is about the assault and the way women are treated.

>> i think hillary was having a problem with enthusiasm with voters. donald trump had a more enthusiastic base. what i think michelle obama's speech is gin up that enthusiasm. people who watched that were hillary clinton voters, but better hillary clinton voters. >> you said something earlier that piqued my interest. the trump strategy is to gin up his base. the design and conspiracy stuff. this is the same stuff existed in that part of the web for some time. is that what we are seeing? is he trying to drive down support on the other side? >> i don't think it is a strategy. i think donald trump is lashing out. i think he is angry and he's losing. i think he has been losing for some time. the structure of the race has been clear for some time. i think donald trump is sliding into an emotional abyss and lashing out at everyone.

>> we didn't get to talk about why you spend your saturday in maine. >> maine. it is not winner take all. part of the strategy is getting a little tenous. >> maine before vegas. >> thank you, guys. you can see more of joy reid this morning on msnbc. it is a pretty good show. now we have to turn to a huge storm system taking place out west. what could be the worst to hit the pacific northwest in over a decade. it has already spawned two tornadoes and brought 100-mile-an-hour winds. today, the storm is expected to go from bad to even worse. nbc's joe fryer is here with the latest. joe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, stephanie. you could say this is the calm between the storm. the pacific northwest is getting ready for another strong blast with destructive winds later on

today. the first storm left a path of destruction. >> that's a straight-up tornado. >> reporter: the oregon coast is nowhere near the path of tornado alley. yet a water spout sailed across the pacific friday unleashing a twister on land. >> look right there. >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: the tornado, a rarity in the parts, tore through the beach down damaging houses and businesses. >> this is how i support my family. it's like having your gut torn out in some sense. >> reporter: neighbors are hustling to help each other clean up. >> i did not hear anything. heavy rain. >> reporter: constantly reminded more bad weather is on the way. from british columbia to north carolina, they are ready for a second blast powered for a typhoon. >> this has the possibility to be a fatal storm if you don't take the precautions. >> reporter: it could be the

strongest wind storm in the region bringing massive waves and flooding. waves are raging up and down the coast. >> it is hard to walk around. >> reporter: the coast guard helped rescue 40 kids and 6 adults stranded in a camp with no power. no one was hurt. crews are rushing to repair downed power lines and 9 million hunker down bracing for the possibility of hurricane-force winds without the hurricane. some forecasters are already dubbing today's storm the ides of october. if you want to know how rare tornadoes are in the region. the weather service in portland issued ten tornado warnings in one day yesterday. before that, the record was just three. stephanie. >> that is a wow. joe, thanks. ten tornado warnings. how bad will it get, dylan? >> the storm we will expect

today is worse than yesterday. it is actually the equivalent of a category 2 hurricane. it doesn't develop the same way, but the onshore flow. it will be replaced by torrential downpours. we could see the gusty winds. yesterday, we had the tornadoes, we had wind gusts along the coast up near 100 miles an hour. this includes big cities like seattle and eugene, oregon and crescent city. winds gusting up to 100 miles per hour. that could lead to power outages and downed trees. it is a big storm that will affect the area as early as late this morning and into the afternoon and into the overnight and we start to see the rain taper off as we go into tomorrow morning. it becomes more or less spotty showers. after the big storm moves through, we will see a cold front move in. that will reinforce the rain.

this morning in today's take away, what you need to know about breast cancer. october is breast cancer awareness month. there is no better time to go over the guidelines, especially when they seem to always be changing. dr. natalie azar is here with more. why do the guidelines keep changing? >> it seems like they do. it is important to understand there is no dispute whether or not mammography should be done. all organizations say they decrease breast cancer. where they differ is when the mammogram is started and how frequently it should be done and when they should end. >> let's talk about the guidelines. are there two schools of thought if you will? >> two major groups we are always talking about. one is the united states preventive services task force. an independent body of experts who have since 2009 made the

recommendation that mammography should start at age of 50 and go to 74. every other year. >> this says 45. >> that is the american cancer society. those are the two major competing groups, if you will. the american cancer society states the mammogram should be done every year between 45 and 54. every year or two years after. while the task force has maintained since 2009 they think the benefit versus the harm outweighs mammography in your 40s. >> what would change the protocols? >> that is important to say. the recommendations have to do with women considered at average risk. what increases your risk? the two things you can't change are your age or gender. women are 100 times more likely to get breast cancer. there is also if you have a personal history of a cancer

lesion or family history. we talk about brca 1 and brca 2. there are other factors that we understand that are involved. >> we talk about screenings. what are the common factors? >> the thing about breast cancer, it could be asymptomatic. basically, if you have a lump in your breast or under your arm that is painless, hard with irregular borders. nipple discharge or skin changes, you want to alert your health care provider. sheinelle, it is important to reiterate that while the groups may differ on when the recommendation is to start, all the groups absolutely assert and affirm the utility of

mammography for screening for breast cancer. i cannot emphasize that enough. >> growing up, really quickly. my mom in her shower. she had a card in the shower with the self exam and how to do it. we always thought that is what you were supposed do. that has changed for some organizations. >> a year ago, the american cancer society came out with a statement that said there was no enough evidence for or against the clinical breast exam performed by a doctor or nurse or self breast exam that increases detection of cancer. now that is their statement. that does not mean that you should not know your breasts. >> right. for sure. >> most of us would say who knows your body better than you? if you do a breast self exam, you will be the first one who will notice a change. while in the big picture, there may not be a reduction in the detection of cancer to actually translate into the decrease of

mortality, i think logically, we all understand that especially doing a breast self exam and knowing your body is still absolutely important. >> it can't hurt. >> it can't hurt. >> good information this morning. dr. natalie azar. coming up, ask an anchor. the crowd has spoken and we will answer their questions. hi, i'm phil mickelson. i've been fortunate enough to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit... even the smallest things became difficult. so i talked to my rheumatologist... and he prescribed enbrel... to help relieve joint pain and help stop further joint damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis... lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common... or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b,
