i will accept if i will accept if i win. >> that is not the way our democracy works. >> i advise mr. trump to stop whining. >> iraqis have the momentum. >> the cubs have won good morning and welcome to "sunday today" i'm willie geist. 16 days until voters choose a new president. all three debates are in the books. by most measures hillary clinton has the lead. we'll dig into the campaign with a guest who says hillary supporters shouldn't be popping the champaign just yet. the champaign is still flowing in chicago. their first world series since

the first title since 1908. we are live at wrigley field in a moment. and later, a meal with anthony bourdain. we'll have a seat at the table with the outspoken chef who has shown us the world through food. >> how do you find the places that the rest of us don't even know exist? >> the kind of questions we're asking is, look, what does your soul crave at 2:00 in the morning when you have a little bit of a buzz? >> more with anthony bourdain a bit later in the show, but we begin this morning with making. the cubs are headed to the world series. let me say that again. the cubs are headed to the world series. they beat the dodgers in game six of the national league championship series 5-0. ron mott is outside wrigley field where i'm sure there's still some partying going on. ron, good morning. >> reporter: absolutely, willie. good morning. wow, what a night in the city of chicago. a night that will never end for a lot of people who have waited

phrase the cubs are going to the world series. >> out. the cubs have won the pennant! >> and they got there in spectacular fashion. a 5-0 shutout of the l.a. dodgers capped off with a dazzling double play to launch a celebration for the ages. it's been many years, 71 for the cubs in the world series. there are a few of those fans still out there and with that long streak still over they'd like to see a longer one wiped away, 108 years the last time the cubs were world champions. to put that into some perspective, consider this. this venerable old ballpark, wrigley field, the second oldest behind fenway park in boston was not even around when the cubs last won the world series. neither was fenway park for that matter. fans say it's time to end all of

bygones be bygones. steve fan bartman ras the fan in 2003 when the cubs were five outs away from going to the world series when he interfered with a foul ball and a lot of people blamed him for a rally that the marlins then put on to win game 6, turned around and won game 7 and went to the world series instead of the cubs. take a look at some of the folks on twitter. one person writing, it was never stev hope he's sitting somewhere tonight with people who love him feeling a measure of absolution. bartman, you're off the hook. cubs are going to the world series. the cleveland indians will have a little bit to say about which of these two cities, chicago, cleveland will celebrate and last laugh in the next week to ten days. >> a great young cubs team that doesn't seem concerned with bartman, billy goats or anything else game one is tuesday night

now to the race for the white house. with 16 days to go until the election, the candidates are setting up shop in battleground states. donald trump still claiming the election is rigged while campaigning in ohio and delivering his own gettysburg address. hillary clinton out with her running mate tim kaine. kristen welker in raleigh, north carolina. kristen, good morning. >> reporter: hey, willie, good morning to you. secretary clinton has two campaigns where t score while donald trump is trying to run off a major political comeback. surging in the polls, hillary clinton and tim kaine holding a rare late night rally in the

>> i don't think about responding to that. >> reporter: on the stump casting donald trump's talk of a rigged system as dangerous. >> make no mistake about this, my friends. he is threatening our democracy. >> reporter: the democrats want to win big. surrogates including miley cyrus, katy perry in >> running mate mike pence also making a frenzied final push together in ohio. >> this is a rigged system. >> it's a rigged election, believe me. the site of the legendary civil war address trying to cast himself as a uniter with proposals for the first 100 days. >> first i will announce my

nafta. >> reporter: his speech turned to retribution for the women accusing him of unwanted advances. >> all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. >> reporter: on saturday an 11th accuser came over, adult film actress jessica drake. >> donald then asked me, what do you want? how much? >> reporter: trump has denied all the allegations, which haven't been verified by nbc news. tim kaine counts him. 100 days. i'm not changing. i may be president of the united states but i'm going to focus on settling scores. >> reporter: feeling emboldened, clinton and kaine told reporters they will be focused on helping democrats in down ballot races. when asked about reports that her transition team is amping up, she said she's superstition shus and focused on winning the race. >> kristen welker.

he's a political analyst for msnbc and radio analyst. he joins us from his studio in suburban washington. thanks for being up early on sunday. >> thanks, willie. >> i want to ask you about donald trump's tactics. he laid out a contract with the american voters, all things a conventional candidate would do and then near the end of the speech he says of the women accusing him, quote, all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. of the frustration with the trump campaign that there are flashes of a candidate who could win over shadowed by a line like that. >> reporter: especially, willie, yes, especially as the real clear politics show the race tightening a tick and it's down 5 and .8. donald trump should stay focused on that. president obama, there are

you don't run the double reverse, hail mary statute of liberty. you don't leave that radioactive to this campaign. mr. trump's speech yesterday, the remarks about his accusers are best left on the side until after the election is over but the election isn't over. there are millions of americans, half million in hikes. pat toomey is advantaged by that because obamacare is going to collapse in the face of liberal democrats over the next three weeks and so i wish mr. trump would stay focused on that. some of the corruption stories, but mostly on obamacare. >> pat toomey, of course, the republican senator in pennsylvania in a tight race. you said something interesting there, hugh, this race is not over. i think most of the pollsters

and objectively said it's all but over. if you look at some of the numbers inside the swing states. what are some of the things you're seeing that may go against conventional wisdom and say trump maybe has a shot here. >> one that i just mentioned is most important. absent -- i'm not counting the russian attacks on secretary clinton. there's a lot of interesting stuff in the fsp operation otherwise known as wikileaks. it isn't the kind of thing that can move a needle. if they were to release her private server e-mails, that would move the needle. premiums, willie. in pennsylvania they are averaging in excess of 20% rate hike. i see that they are going up in florida, that they are skyrocketing in minnesota. donald trump is not going to win minnesota, but there are other places where exchanges are shooting up. i also define the election as more than the presidential. i think as we mentioned senator pat toomey who is ahead in his re-election bid. kelly ayotte who is tied in some polls.

ahead. roy blunt in missouri, he's ahead. joe heck is closing and maybe in a dead heat at this point. even ron johnson in wisconsin is coming back. if i look at the whole election i think over the next two weeks republicans have a lot to focus on in order to secure the house and maintain the republican majority and if mr. trump really focuses like a laser on the fact that americans not only didn't get to keep their doctor or their plan, they didn't get to keep their second doctor or their second plan, i say the rcp poll number, the gap is closing as of this morning. >> he's only got about 2 1/2 more weeks to start focusing on it. it's getting late. before i let you go we've been talking about the cubs. you're a cleveland guy. let's not forget about the tribe. they haven't won since 1948. how about a prediction? >> reporter: the indians in five. >> in five? >> in five, willie. i think you'll see kluber come

conlin. i hate to do that to the cubs fans, but the elite media is clearly favoring, elite media is in the tank. go tribe rally together. >> a new attack on the elite media. hugh hewett, great to see you. the next president will inherit a full plate of foreign policy. they're getting closer to the northern city of mosul. the offensive is the culmination of a two-year effort by u.s. forces to help in the war against the terror group. richard engel has been with the iraqi forces all week right on the front lines. >> watch your step. there is a concern these could be booby trapped. >> and this morning richard is in bashika, iraq, good to take time to join us. richard, always good to see you,

at stake as iraqi troops move into mosul. >> well, when this offensive began a week ago it seemed like it was moving incredibly quickly and the advance on mosul seemed like it could happen within days. it has slowed down. it seemed like it's not putting up much of a fight. every inch to mosul, it's a complex battlefield. you talked about iraqis and americans. in rye at you have iraqi troops that are involved, you also have kurdish troops who are involved. i'm right now at one of the forward kurdish positions. in this mix are american advisors. there are some 500 american advisors who are very close to the battlefield, outside the wire, so to speak, and about 5,000 more who are mostly on

the defense secretary ash carter who went to baghdad yesterday paid a visit to northern iraq today, to the city of erbil and did acknowledge in both places that americans are not just sitting back on their bases calling in airstrikes even though they're called advisors. >> everybody needs to understand that there are americans here that are in harm's way. their mission, which is to bring the american and coalition military to the support of iraqi security forces is a dangerous one. >> reporter: the key thing to understand about this is mosul is so important for all of the sides involved here. for president obama, mosul is a way to end his administration showing that he wasn't soft on isis, that he went out with a bang, so to speak, that he managed to take away this important city, a city that once

isis. for the iraqi army, it's crucial. the iraqi army left mosul two years ago in humiliation. they abandoned their weapons and ran away. now they want to show that they aren't cowards, that they've reconstituted themselves and they are willing to fight. for isis, this is where isis declared its caliphate. if it loses this city, it could lose its caliphate, lose its prestige. so a lot of people have a great deal on the line here and i think that's why we're seeing the fighting getting mor -- mosul itself. >> although we're advising, jason feinan was killed this week. richard engel in iraq. thank you. back here at home, big business, at&t reached an agreement to buy time warner for $85 billion. the deal faces big hurdles with concerns about whether or not the combined company would have too much power in the media

spice latte and checking the box scores of the paper like nothing was wrong. would you recommend that as a meteorologist or should you get out of the storm waters. >> get out. >> that dude did not care. our next high goes to vice president joe biden and his need for speed. the onion has a long running gag about biden being a blue collar renegade in the white house. one famous ad is shirtless washes transam. this week jay leno released a clip in which the vice president gets to drive his beloved 1967 corvette for only the third time in the nearly eight years since he took office and, man, did biden make the most of it. >> sounds good.

of new york city, bourdain has become something of a one man food travel guide taking viewers along as he stops in every local joint he can find all over the world. for bourdain the setting is almost as important as the food. anthony took me along as he cruised one of his favorite food strips here in queens, new york. >> i have to get you on the record on a couple of things. >> sure. >> pumpkin is there some vast demographic of pumpkin crazed, you know, people hanging outside of whatever the pumpkin outlet is, like a methadone clinic waiting for them to open up so they can get their pumpkin spice. the farm to table bothers me. >> right. >> i'm in your restaurant. i'm pretty sure your vegetables grew on a farm and i'm pretty sure i am going to eat it on a table. do i need the t-shirt. >> reporter: anthony bourdain
