requirements. among the top concerns, terrorists who go through multiple count rise before boarding a flight to the u.s., matt and savannah. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. there's more to get to, including president trump taking on his critics and touting great unity within the gop, that despite a public rebuke by two key republican senators. we have complete coverage at the white house with nbc's kristen welker. kristen, good morning. >> matt, good morning to you. despite the recent gop defections, president trump is taking a bit of a victory lap today, insisting he still has most of hiss party on his side and will be able to accomplish policy goals like tax reform and mr. trump is also taking aim at democrats after new revelations they helped pay for that dossier related to his possible ties to russia. president trump down playing talk of a republican civil war appearing on the fox business network. >> we have actually in the republican party in a true sense we have great unity.

>> even after two prominent gop senators, bob corker and jeff flake, assail it had president's character and fitness for office with both men set to retire next year, mr. trump insisting he can still count on them to support his agenda, including the president's push for tax reform. >> i don't think they do that. i know they want tax cuts, they know we need it. we need it for the country. >> flake acknowledging he would have faced an uphill battle for reelection. >> that's a difficult position to take in the republican primary, the position that i've taken that we ought to stand up. >> reporter: the president taking a swipe at flake. >> his poll numbers are terrible so he did the smart thing for himself. this way he can get out gracefully. >> reporter: and mr. trump defending his condolence call to the widow of sergeant la david johnson insisting he had no trouble recalling the fallen soldi soldier's name. >> they put a chart in front, "la david" says "la david johnson" so right from the

beginning there's no heads station. one of the great memories of all time. >> reporter: asked by nbc's hallie jackson about his civility, mr. trump touted his own intellect. >> reporter: could you be more civil as leader of this country? >> well, i think the press makes me more uncivil than i am. people don't understand. i went to an ivy league college, i was a nice student, i did very well. i'm a very intelligent person. >> the president emboldened after revelations the democrats helped pay for research originally funded by republican donors that led to that now-famous dossier gone tim kaining allegations about his potential ties to russia. >> what's your reaction? >> i think it's sad what they've done with this fake dossier. it's a disgrace. >> a former campaign official insists they didn't know about the dossier but if they had they

would have used it mean while, the trump campaign says we as a campaign made the choice to rely on the voter data of the republican national committee to help elect president donald j. trump. any claims that voter data from any other source played a key role in the victory are false. matt and savannah? >> kristen, thank you very much. >> another issue front and center, the opioid epidemic. according to a new report, the president is ready to declare it a public health emergency. will that help solve the problem facing cities and families across the country? hallie jackson has more. >> reporter: let's talk about what this declaration of a public health emergency will do. administration officials tell us this morning it loosens up regulations and give states more

flexibility to shift around federal funding but it's not that broader state of national emergency some expected. still experts say any attention directed towards this serious crisis will absolutely be of help. the president promising something soon to show how he plans to fight the nation's opioid crisis. >> we'll be doing a very, very important meeting on opioids in terms of declaring a national emergency. >> we're learning the president will stop short of declaring a broader state of national emergency and will declare the opioid epidemic a public health emergency. administration officials down playing the difference arguing they're make the most impactful move to help struggling americans. those officials say the public health emergency declaration whether give states more leeway to shift federal funding to addiction treatment, allow government agencies to do more to help people struggling and

let patients get prescriptions over the phone or on the computer rather than in person. the administration's moves will put pressure on congress to do more to fight the crisis with the president's own opioid commission estimating drugs kill on average 142 americans everyday. that's more the guns and car accidents combined? >> that means we have a 9/11 every three and a half weeks in america. if we had a terrorist organization killing 142 americans a day on our soil, how much would we be willing to spend to top it? >> reporter: governor chris christie chairs that commission created months ago after promises like these from donald trump on the campaign trail. >> we're going to work like hell to take care of the situation. it's a huge problem all over our country. >> reporter: and this pledge. >> we're going to spend a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of money on the opioid crisis. >> reporter: but it's taken time for the president to declare a national emergency like he promised.

his health and human services resigned and his pick for drug czar withdrew. the president facing fire for being slow to act with critics arguing his proposals for health care reform could be counterproductive. >> with medicaid cut, significant medicaid cuts being proposed as part of president trump's revamped health care plan that will really hit a lot of opioid and drug treatments very significantly. >> but today's announcement potentially a significant step for thousands of families with governor christie telling mat the president isn't deterred but determined. >> do you think he'll follow through on that promise? >> i do. >> what would you say to him? >> i've already said it to him. >> what's his response? >> he's ready. >> reporter: when the president talks about all of this, he will be joined by the first lady who has made this one of her signature issues. tomorrow we expect cabinet members to deploy across the country to talk about what their

agencies will do to fight the epidemic. matt, savannah, back to you in new york. >> we'll have more information with governor christie including how his state has recovered five years after superstorm sandy. now more accusers come forward in the harvey weinstein scandal. pressure is mounting on the weinstein company to do more. nbc's stephanie gosk is here with the latest on that. >> another accuser, another allegation of sexual assault. this time the alleged victims attorney gloria awl red leveled a challenge at the weinstein's company's board of directors. they want to do right by the accusers, she says, they need to pay them. >> it's time for the weinstein company to put their money where their mouths are? >> reporter: she's calling on the company to set up a fund and voluntarily pay his accusers. >> the harm his acts have caused to their careers and health

continue and must be addressed. >> reporter: allred set next to her client, the latest woman to accuse the movie mogul of sexual assault. >> he said he could give me a movie part in an upcoming film. >> reporter: she says she met weinstein at the bafta awards in 2008. late that night he pounded on her hotel room door. once inside, she says, weinstein forced her to have sex. >> i just wanted it to end. i played dead. afterwards, i lay there in complete disgust. >> reporter: weinstein's spokesperson has repeatedly said "any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by mr. weinstein." but now it's not just the hollywood under fire. it's his former company facing a new lawsuit. >> we allege the weinstein company knew that one of its executives and part owner harvey

weinstein was engaged in sexual misconduct. >> reporter: when allegations of sexual assault surfaced in the media, the weinstein company said "these allegations come as an utter surprise to the board. any suggestion the board had knowledge of this conduct is false." actor dominique hewitt accuses weinstein of forcing her to have oral sex. >> as many times as i said no and resisted i just feel like he was not going to let up on the idea. >> reporter: she announced her lawsuit days after new york's attorney general opened a civil rights inquiry into the weinstein company. now the future of the production powerhouse that won 22 oscars for films like "silver linings play book" and "the king's speech" hangs in the balance. overnight a preliminary agreement by equity firm colony capital to make an emergency

investment reportedly fell through. we reached out to the weinstein company board but have not heard back. meantime, at the power woman breakfast this morning in los angeles, survivors of sexual assault are expected to speak. according to the rap, they include at least two weinstein accusers, journalist lauren savon and actor claire furlani. and author mark halperin has been accused of inappropriate behavior. in a statement to cnn, halperin said "i now understand that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain, for that i am deeply sorry and i apologize. under the circumstances i'm going to take a step back from my day to day work while i properly deal with this situation." according to cnn, none of the women reported the alleged

incidents to abc news management. nbc news has not independently very phiing the accusations. we find the stor -- question fie story and allegations troubling, mark halperin is leaving until his conduct is fully understood." let us take a turn and today's much anticipated release of classified government files about the assassination of president john f. kennedy is in the news. what are we going to learn and will they satisfy the conspiracy theorists. peter alexander is at the national archives with more. what can you tell us? >> reporter: the anticipation certainly building. will this be the final chapter of one of the most defining moments in american history? among those fuelling the suspen suspense, president trump green lighting this release, ironically, while on a trip to dallas tweeting "so interesting."

that infamous drive through dallas today we can learn one of the enduring mysteries. federal law says they must release all their findings today. among the key questions, did lee harvey oswald act alone? did the u.s. government know more about the assassins' movements and assassinations than previously led on. and was oswald under cia surveillance when he visited the soviet and cuban embassies in mexico city? >> the real story may be that the cia knew only seven weeks before the assassination that oswald may have threatened the president, he returned to america in early october and they did what the cia always does -- they told no one. >> reporter: multiple investigations have concluded he was the only gunman. his own story died after he was shot shortly after his arrest. still, americans aren't convinced. more than 60% believe kennedy's assassination was a conspiracy,

an abrupt end to camelot. >> it's almost like the film bro broke. the future looked very bright and then it was over in a flash. >> the national archives says we assume that much of what will be released will be tangential to the assassination but historians will be poring over 3,000 long sealed files hoping they reveal a cia personality profile of oswald, whether the fbi had evidence he was openly bragging about plans to kill kennedy, and maybe even a handwritten letter from first lady jackie kennedy detailing fuel ran arran ining . 54 years after his tragic death, the jfk mystery remains alive. >> i think we will never be able to put a period at the end of the sentence "lee harvey oswald acted alone" and have everybody agree with it. it's the case that will never go away. >> how will those documents be released today and exactly when

even that remains a mystery though we assume the national archives will post them on their web site at which point those sleuths and scholars can dive right in. matt and savannah, we will be among them today. back to you. >> fascinating. peter, thank you very much mr. roker is is here with our first check of the weather. on? >> we're looking at a tropical system developing and it's going to affect from florida into new england. investigation area 93l, next 30 days could become a tropical system or a 40% -- here's the five day development zone but no matter what happens we see the moisture coming up into southern florida. we could be looking at three to five inches there. low pressure develops an upper level trough, enhances that moisture increasing the flood threats. anywhere from three to five inches of rain through monday, central and southern florida. up the coast from cape hatteras into new england and the northeast we could be looking at three to five inches as well,

accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it.

secure. starting today, carriers must have stricter screening measures in place on all flights to the u.s. the changes include closer inspection of personal electronic devices along with increased security in passenger areas and around the planes themselves. flyers can expect more thorough interviews to help identify potential terror suspects. some airlines are advising passengers to arrive at the airport an hour earlier than usual president trump delivering a major speech on the nation's opioid epidemic. he promised during his campaign to make the fight against addiction a top priority. meantime, the president is brushing aside reports of a civil war brewing within the republican party. he said on wednesday that the party has great unity despite harsh public criticism from gop senators bob corker and jeff flake who questioned his fitness for office. the president said he is still counting on their support as he pushes forward with tax reform important medical news this

morning about the new vaccine for shingles and also updated advice on flu shots. let's get to nbc medical contributor dr. natalie azar who has the answers to the questions. start with the shingles vaccine. tell me about this. >> this was fda approved last friday. this is an advisory panel to the cdc that made a recommendation that people over the age of 50 should get this new shingles vaccine which is called shingrex and in an unprecedented way over the one that exists currently. >> so -- and i'm willing to share this, i went to my doctor about three months ago, he told me i should get the shingles vaccine, i got it. so is that no good? do i need to get the new one? >> the short answer is that the new shingles vaccine is recommended for people who did get the old shingles vaccine. the old shingles vaccine was recommended for people other the age of 60. the new one is recommend for people over the age of 50.

in your browser and you won't know it is there until it pops up. >> get a browser extension. the next thing, i've done some online shopping but not a lot, and this is the idea that you fill your shopping cart with the items you want and ditch the cart before you go to the check-out. why? >> playing hard to get. doesn't always get. some merchants will see you left something in there. you go away, a day or two later, you might have an e-mail in the inbox saying, you left something in there. how about 10%, 15% or 20% off? >> sometimes savannah leaves things in her cart and will get an e-mail, simply reminding her there are things in her cart without offering a discount. >> l.l. bean does it a lot. >> how much? >> 10% to 15%. >> how many days should you wait? >> depending on how much you want the item. it could sell out. >> the other question people have at this time of the year is not only what to shop for but when to shop for it.

we hear a lot about black friday. a lot about cyber monday. what did "consumer reports" figure out? >> we had a fascinating study looking at four popular items from last year's holiday season, from the end of october to christmas. what we found was tvs, smartphones and fitness trackers were cheaper on cyber monday. tvs were $45 cheaper. if you're in the market for a laptop, they were cheaper starting next week, the week of october 30th. laptops were $100 cheaper than they were on either black friday or cyber monday. >> couple of quick things. how late can you shop to avoid late fees? >> december 21st. that's thursday. of course, christmas falls on a monday. >> one less shipping day. >> it is tricky. many places will not ship on sunday. it's a good guideline. >> there is something new actually in returns. amazon is doing something new. >> if you live in chicago or los angeles, some kohl's stores will take your amazon returns. also, if you have an amazon locker in your area, some of the

items can go back there, as well. >> good information, elliott. thank you very much. we appreciate it. al? >> talking about holidays, well, we have holiday-like weather. a little on the chilly side. we've got a cold blast coming out of canada ahead of this front. warm temperatures. des moines, 64. st. louis, 65. billings, 45. cheyenne, 15. into tomorrow, the colder air goes from st. louis, wichita, dallas. ahead of the front, pittsburgh is warmer than usual. atlanta, warmer than usual. saturday, the warm air is along the eastern seaboard. chicago, 44, 13 degrees below average. new orleans, only 62. austin, texas, 65. 13 degrees below average. the cold air will continue to ad that's what's going on around the country. here's 's what happening in your neck of the woods. >> it's still going to be hot here as we go into the next several days. let's take a live look outside in twin peaks, in san francisco. all clear as we start out. we will have some cool

>> one time, i didn't date a girl because she told me she was completely not into me. forget you. >> yeah! >> i'm not interested. >> what about you? >> don't even ask. i don't usually -- i'm never the person that breaks up. if i did, it would be like because there was no other choice. it wouldn't a shallow reason. it was a profound, blinking red, you should break up with this person. >> i think a voice can be a little off putting. >> sometimes. >> a certain voice. you know in the long run it'll get on your nerves a little bit. >> true. >> mine is if the guy doesn't immediately grab the check without hesitation. sometimes there is a minute it sits there. for some reason, i get angst with that. >> you want him to grab the check. >> for the first one. >> and the rest of them. that's the way we like it. >> that's why our lunch was five hours long. >> only took 45 minutes. >> the check just sat there.

[ cheers and applause ] >> and that performance is coming up in just a couple of minutes. >> niall, you are a great support and david s. pumpkin's animated special air this is weekend. thank you so much, mikey. al, over to you. >> okay, let's show you what's happening. let's start with today, okay? your weekend before tomorrow blowing snow around the michigan and minnesota. we're looking at warm sunny conditions along the west coast. nice sunshine along the eastern sea board. tropical rainstorm down through our friends in florida, frosty morning in the central plains, gorgeous out west, sunday, sunday east coast looking really wet and windy, chilly temperatures in the central plains and the ohio and mississippi river valleys. staying warm out st that's what's going on around the country. here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. >> yes, it will be staying warm here out west. our temperatures reaching into the upper 80s to low 90s for the inland valleys.

we may be watching the potential for setting some new records again today. we hit record highs in concord and san jose. still around 90 this afternoon. for the north bay, some upper 80s. san francisco will be a little bit cooler. and that cooling trend continues into the weekend. we will really feel the difference on sunday into early next week finally it will feel like fall. >> can't figure out what's going on, can you? >> the weather is cold. >> thank you very much. he's got a gig, ladies and gentlemen. don't forget to check the weather any time you need it. go to the weather channel on cable. savannah? >> al, thank you so much. i'm with dr. phil, host of the "dr. phil show." on today's interview, he interviews dennis, a victim of catphishing, an online scam that cost him over $200,000. dr. phil is here to talk about this with us. catphishing, what is that? >> well, it is when people go online, get a false identity,

steal somebody's picture, a model, somebody that's really sharp looking, and they create a false profile and get somebody engaged in a romantic relationship online. pretty soon, they start asking them for money. they come up with an elaborate story. i love you. i'm stuck in a foreign country. all i need is money to get to you and we'll be happy ever after. >> this is what happened to this gentleman that is going to be on your show? >> he's 52. this guy is sophisticated. got money. he's a home builder. this guy is not a dummy. he's sharp. he falls in love with this woman. beautiful woman. pretty soon, he's sending her money, and it adds up to over $200,000. >> takes a lot of guts for him to come out and say, this happened to me. i'm sure he was a little embarrassed. >> he came with the understanding that she is absolutely for real. he's there to prove it and get all his friends and family to shut up because he is going to prove she's real. >> that's interesting. for those thinking, how can i

protect myself, i know you have helpful information. >> i do. look, you've got to understand, you're vulnerable when you go on the internet. they target certain kinds of people. by the way, let me say this, when you look at some of these profiles, a lot of these folks are from nigeria. the hot bed is nigeria and some of these other countries there. they speak in broken english. i've asked some of these guys, i've actually talked to some of the scammers to say, why do you do that? why don't you -- you've got grammar check. why don't you fix it? >> when they write the victims. >> they say, i love your heart. we be happy all life. this guy is from cleveland? >> right. >> so i asked them why they don't fix that. they say, it is our screening device. if somebody is willing to overlook that, we know we've got a hot one. >> wow. >> can you believe that? >> no. i also understand, like if you see someone who has only professional photos on their profile, or no photos at all,

that's a sign? >> come on, if they're really, really good looking professional photos, people don't really look like that. that's smoke and mirrors. >> right. >> too good to be true, it probably is. >> what about kids? that's a scare, too. a lot of teenagers are online a lot. potentially, they could be victims, too. >> can be. you have to know who your kids are talking to. you want to keep that computer in a common area. you need -- don't think you're intruding. know your kids' passwords, know who they're talking to in a chat room. understand the game controllers, those things have access to online. so you may think they're in there playing a game. they're actually plugged in online. >> you can chat on those, right? >> you can be chatting on those. you think they're playing star -- no, no. they're talking to somebody online. >> interesting issue, dr. phil. thank you so much. i know you'll be back with megyn kelly later. >> we are. >> by the way, catch the dr. phil show weekdays. check your local listings. coming up next, without further adieu, niall horan taking over our plaza for a live
