hillary clinton for her part trying to capitalize on her widening lead and perhaps the best sign of her campaign's confidence, the fact that she is flexing her muscles down ballot, trying to turn the senate and house races to the democrat's favor as well. barely two weeks to go, donald trump and hillary clinton not letting up. trump, in florida, again, highlighting his tough stand on undocumented immigrants. >> when they come back the third time, you know what is going to happen? they're not coming back. >> reporter: the rivals competing to energize supporters in battleground states. >> north carolinians know what is at stake in this election. >> reporter: with president obama lending hillary clinton a hand in nevada. >> we will elect hillary clinton to be the next president of the united states. >> reporter: for trump, facing a ticking clock and a double digit deficit, a tough hill to climb. kellyanne conway acknowledging trump is behind.

former president who happens to be her husband campaigning for her, the current president and first lady, vice president, all much more popular than she can hope to be. >> reporter: even veteran republican strategist concede a come back is a long shot. >> i don't see it happening. maybe it could, but i doubt that in the just over two weeks we have left, conducting the kind of campaign that he is conducting -- >> reporter: still, clinton has yet to put the race away and her campaign is facing more scrutiny with batch of stolen e-mails from john podesta, e-mails suspected hacked by russia, critical of the primary opponent, bernie sanders. on issues trump is trying to exploit. >> bernie sanders was in a rigged system and now he sees, you notice how quiet he has been for the last three or four days. he has been watching and reading wikileaks. >> over the weekend, trump

gettysburg. over shadowing his message with this threat for those accusing him of sexual misconduct. >> all of the liars will be sued after the election is over. >> clinton, dismissing trump's repeated claim that there is a media conspiracy against him. >> i debated him for four and a half hours. i don't even think about responding to him anymore. >> reporter: the fiery final debate providing another round of fodder for saturday night live. >> will you accept the results of the because frankly, this whole thing is rigged, even the media, every day i turn on the news and all of the newscasters are making me look so bad. >> how are we doing that? >> by taking all of the things i say and all of the things i do and putting them on tv. >> reporter: a lot of this year's election will happen before election day. listen to this. more than 6 million votes have already been cast nationwide including a million in florida

they pulled money from the race and decided to let that one go. they're feeling the weight of it. joe heck in nevada. the balance of the senate hangs in or the power hangs in the balance. >> if you're the democrats, hillary clinton looking past donald trump, if you're a republican saying let's got give hillary clinton all of the power, is it too early? there are 15 days to go. >> it is a great message for republicans. dana is absolutely right. marco rubio is also doing ver trump in the state of florida for a seat that he didn't even say he wanted. the democrats have pulled money out of that. the republicans are now making the overt message that hillary clinton is going to win. you need me as a check on her power is a stunning turn. >> is it too early? 15 days is a life time in politics. we don't have to tell you two veterans that. does donald trump have any chance of turning it around?

that is what he suggests. he will point to polls that show a tighter race. >> they will have to do that. within a margin of error, florida he is spending today and tomorrow there. had a huge rally last night. unfortunately, i think for some of the supporters, they're confusing enthusiasm at rallies for votes at the ballot box. i don't think they're equal. there is enthusiast yams on their side. if you look at the democrats, as they talked about going into georgia and ar don't have that many resources going in there to expand that map the washington post columnist talks about telling republicans split your vote. split the ticket. whatever you're going to do at the top, fine, but do what you can for republicans, they need it. >> the news proved you right this weekend. >> she is always rights. >> donald trump has not shown any discipline in sticking to a message that can beat hillary clinton. what about the moment where he

speech. talks about what he will do in 100 days and then talks about the women who accuses him of sexual misconduct. what is the headline that comes out? >> i'm going to sue them. he has a lot of things, i feel like this was a lights out kind of 14 day period that just ended for him but what his supporters have going for them is that they have now uprooted and changed the republican party forever, if he can be disciplined in the final 1 stamp on his own movement. if he keeps talking about his grievances, keeps yelling about paul ryan, keeps threatening to sue the women, his power diminishes in the after math of the election. >> can we leave on a happy place? dana has written a book about her be loved dog jasper. it is relevant to politics. we all know that if you need a friend in washington, get a dog. if you want peace to be restored to the galaxy and your universe

and there are people who have unfriended their friends on facebook or feel like they avoid their neighbors so they don't have to talk about politics. >> or their parents. >> this has been a wonderful distraction. the book is let me tell you about jasper. it is based on a chapter that i took out of the first book that i took out that you had me on here to talk about. jasper, we bonded over our dogs in washington d.c. this is my if you feel like this year has been politically divisice. go to talk about the family pet. 68% of americans have a family pet. dogs are a great equalizer in a divicive year. >> politics off limits. >> not at the dog park, ever. >> you don't find it at the dog park. nicole and dana perino, thank you for being here. >> nicolle is always right the.

the world series gets under way tomorrow night. it is an historic match-up between the chicago cubs and cleveland indians. the two teams hold the longest title droughts in all of baseball. 108 years for the cubs, 68 for the indians. so clearly, long-suffering fans are a little excited about all this. nbc's ron mott is at wrigley field in chicago. ron, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning. if somebody were writing a novel about how the cubs got back to the world series, they would be excite that's spread across this city. the celebration is under way and they do not want the party to stop. to say life has changed since chicago cubs fans had a world series to cheer is as obvious as the joy on display here. wedding vows, and a photo shoot, a huge run on memorabilia, a nod and "woof" to the late legendary cubs announcer, harry caray. fans of other teams shouldn't

1945 is when the cubs last appeared on the world stage and failed to win it all. i'll say it, president obama tweeted, holy cow, even this white sox fan was happy to see wrigley rocking. >> they won't have to talk about the loveable losers anymore. >> it is just so emotional. >> reporter: when the cubs were last baseball royalty, way back in 1908, tvs hadn't been invented. there were no cross word puzzled, toasters hadn't popped into our daily routine and band-aids weren't around to help us heal. the ford model-t was just starting to roll that fall. even wrigley field wasn't around. it didn't come along for another six years. given the long lag in reaching baseball glory, seeing the cubs in person in the world series becomes a pricey, perhaps once in a lifetime proposition. especially considering their opponent, the cleveland indians, are thirsty for a title, too. 68 years since they've been champs.

chicago, hitting super bowl levels, 6 grand plus. >> don't have $3,000 for a ticket right now. >> reporter: two cities that will have a tale to tell. one triumphant, the other still waiting. everybody knows cubs fans are very passionate. take a look at this. this is secretary hillary clinton over the weekend on her campaign plane, the moment after the cubs turned that amazing double play to end the game and people still pinching themselves, they can't quite believe it. game one starts tomorrow night in cleveland. >> i am going to soak up every minute of this series. i can't wait. >> it's a mix of joy and shock for fans. >> i'm really excited. i lived in cleveland for five years. loved that town. we had a good time there during the convention. >> what stays in cleveland -- >> oh, right! i guess the pain killers haven't

was only 29 years old when she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. >> went from having toepotentia years of time to six months. >> reporter: it was almost impossible for her mother to unfathom. >> it began to unfold in a federal nightmare that no parent ever wants to face. and no one woman should ever have to face. >> reporter: in a new memoir, she documents her da personal struggle as she tried to support her daughter's wishes to end her own life. but his menard's wishes about sharing her story that are now in question. in a post to his facebook page, dan diaz says that his late wife asked him to share the following statement if "this situation were to arise." which says in part i loved my mother very much but i don't want to be her a story teller about me. she's been a great mom and i wouldn't be here without her. but i don't want her to write about me.

working for the cause, she says use your strengths. she never said anything to me about that. so i don't know what to think of this statement. except that brittany said many, many things in those last days, and i, again, go back to honoring the brittany who i knew, not the brain tumor brittany. >> reporter: diaz tells nbc there are memoir and that menard specifically stated in the will that he should be the only one to represent her story. one that diaz believes will lead to further improvements in end of life care legislation. >> i can't tell you the amount of relief it provides me to know that i don't have to die the way that it's been described to me. >> reporter: it is a cause that was important to menard and one that her husband and mother are trying to champion, both moving forward with their beloved wife

>> reporter: remember, i had that right knee totally replaced less than two weeks ago. we focus on three things to get me back and moving. first, strength. >> we're trying to get that last bit of extension in the knee and get these quadriceps muscles to fire nice and strong. this will help keep your knee from buckling when you walk. >> reporter: billy puts me through a series of exercises. next thing we focus on -- balance. this makes sure i around safely. >> if you're not stable on one leg, guess what? you're not stable walking. >> reporter: finally, agility. combining strength and balance. >> with the new prosthetic knee, your brain and your knee don't talk to each other. >> so it doesn't know that there's something not there. >> right. >> reporter: some fencing-style lunges and we are ready to take a stab at the stairs. good thing, because i live in a brownstone with plenty of stairs at home, and at work.

>> there's not a lot of people this early on after knee surgery that can do some of the things that he's doing, like the step-up on the stairs. >> reporter: when billy is done, it is time to ice my leg with a compression machine. my new best friend. >> ice, ice, baby. ? ice ice baby sfl? >> again, the painkillers kicking in. it is really interesting because they do get you up right outpatient physical therapy. three to four days a week but that's the most important. the rehab and physical therapy. >> you had your other knee replaced 15 years ago. is it a huge difference in terms of -- >> yeah. i was in the hospital 11 days. i was out of work for almost a month. but i had some other mitigating circumstances. but this is completely different. >> you've been in great shape. i bet you that recovery made it easier because you are always on your bike, always doing stuff. >> well, it's been a fun

>> that's your latest weather. guys? >> all right. >> al, thank you so much. no you to our new series "winning at all costs." for years researchers have studied long-term effects of concussions on football players. >> but there is a growing body of evidence that even hits that don't cause consuggestions could still be cause for concern. nbc's stephanie gosk is here with some groundbreaking results. steph, good morning. >> hey, guys, good morning. we were given exclusive access to ast released today, looking specifically at young players 8 to 13 years old. what researchers discovered may make some youth leagues question how they practice and play and it may make some parents question whether or not their children should play at all. >> reporter: football practice in north carolina can get rough. former nfl player greg delong watches his son jake from the sidelines. >> it is a bunch of gladiators

>> we came up through the era, if your head wasn't hurting after a game or practice, you didn't play. you didn't play hard enough. >> reporter: these days, a ringing head is seen less as a badge of courage and more as a reason for concern. we already know concussions are bad, but now scientists are even beginning to look at the effect of sub-consuccessive hits, or hits that don't cause concussions at all. the "today" show was given exclusive access to research being conducted at wake baptist medical center studying the effect of sub-concussive hits on football players between 8 and 13 years old. >> what about specifically a child's brain? is. >> yeah. that's a huge unknown. because the brain during that period of time is changing in ways that we are just now starting to understand. >> reporter: dr. alex powers with be a pediatric neurosurgeon, consulted during the study published today in the

youth football players, recording every hit they took to the head over the course of a single season. and then compared images of the players' brains before and after. the first of its kind study discovered that football players at this young age are hitting each other hard enough and often enough to cause actual changes in the structure of their brains, even without getting concussions. >> we see a change in the brain of the kids who hit more and hit who hit less. >> reporter: the result revealed changes in the critical white matter of the players' brains over just one season. >> you can see that it is white. and again, those are sort of like the wires that connect different parts of the brain on which function unfolds. >> reporter: dr. chris whitlow one of the lead researchers stopped short of calling the changes in the players' brains actual brain damage. >> what do the changes mean? >> i think there is more that we

result in long-term changes in function, memory or any important in your ability to function day to day. >> reporter: the groundbreaking techno study relied on technology used for years in high school players and the nfl. >> so this is logging every hit on the field. >> yes. the senator fits in the helmet and the data is transmitted to >> reporter: the sensors measure the location and the force of the hit in real time. >> as the arrow moves around the hit it is showing the changing impact location. >> reporter: every game, every practice, every hit, recorded. including on dr. powers' own son, john, who was one of the study's subjects. >> what have you seen as far as how hard the hits are on a field with kids this age? >> we've seen that they can generate forces every bit the

>> reporter: really! the players whose kids took part in the study had mixed reactions. >> do your job. >> reporter: this is north carolina, the heart of football country. delong has friends who have died from cte, the degenerative brain disease caused by repeated trauma to the brain. now he waits to see if the white matter in his son's brain changed over the course of this season. >> if jake is one of those players and patients, we're going to pull him. >> repor 11-year-old boys both took part in the study. >> actually, my oldest, i found that he was sleeping with the football. so that's just -- i mean they truly love this sport. >> reporter: she keeps a list of concussion symptoms on the door of her refrigerator says she won't pull her kids from the game until she knows more. >> the only result that could possibly be alarming to me is that the potential link to other

>> reporter: researchers are hoping to follow the players through high school and perhaps longer, but the kinds of results she is waiting for are years away, at best. this study is really just a start. >> people feel, as you say, very passionately about football. are we as a country getting closer to dealing with the reality of the danger? >> sometimes i think so. and sometimes not. again, we are extremely passionate and sometimes we lose real human beings that are subjecting their bodies to this. >> the scientists who conducted this study say funding is still one of their largest battles. following players for years will be incredibly expensive and they told me they spend much of their time just trying to secure the money they will need to do it. >> that's fascinating. lot of parents going to be paying close attention to that, steph. thank you very much. wow. look at the orange room. >> i can't even --

rushmore right here. when you don't even need to say a name. look at that. i'm going to just coming up on channel 20. >> i'm cheryl preheim. here's a look at what's happening on channel 20 for 9news 8:00 a.m. more ballots will be mailed out this week in colorado and while the presidential race is the one the country is talking predominantly about, there are very important local races too. we are going to break down those for you in just a bit.

all across this monday commute. >> excellent to hear. for us today, a warm day ahead, dry for most of the state during the day, we will begin to see a few showers nibble into western colorado during the afternoon and a big push of rain for the evening and then overnight tonight. in fact, generous rain of half an inch or more in parts of western colorado by this time tomorrow morning. snow level running at 10,000 feet, one to 3 inches of snow for the mountains. dry around here again and even in the west with showers approaching, it's going to be a warm day with upper 70s for your daytime highs so we will get a few clouds drifting in this afternoon and tonight, temperatures in the upper 70s today, a sprinkle possible tomorrow, i wouldn't count on much out of that. it clears tomorrow afternoon and then it's off to the races yet again with a dry rest of

malt malthusian theory. when i was in junior college we finished a history course and the professor wrote you need to learn this word. he wrote the word triage which represented the concept that eventually the world will have too many people in it in order to subsist on its own. that stuck with me for a long time. that's what "inferno" is about. the quantum physics of overpopulation. and it gets the could be too many people on the planet earth. >> just give us definition of malthusian theory. >> that's what i'm built for. >> when ron howard was asked about you in langden, he says you are like a dog with a bone. that makes you very much like this character. both curious. is that fair? >> when i read these books, i do it with my google page open because everything dan brown references, you search out. there is pieces of art, architecture in the history of a place like florence.

and ready to go and i could start pointing out stuff even before we start. >> i was going to say, one of the great things about doing these movies, i would think, is they are always set in the most beautiful places. it's florence. it's istanbul. it's ninth circle of hell -- okay, just kidding. but i mean, beautiful settings. what a nice place to go for the office. >> it was a great thing. the only thing we might -- we sometimes have to put up cones and say things like the gardens have agendas. i have one day to see the hall of 500! and i don't get to see it today? and it is a beautiful place. walking to work in the morning at 5:45 with my own cappuccino and you got to go across the ponte beccio. oh, yes, dante was here. if i had the right set of keys,

no one else gets to go because i know where they all are now. >> you spent the weekend hosting "saturday night live." you're there at a time where the show is feasting, feasting on politics. >> wednesday night, we are watching the debate on the 17th floor of 30 rock. the entire building is shut down. everybody's locked on the monitor. and for 90 minutes we're going, hey, that's good. oh with be we could use that. oh, alec will go nuts on this. good. and then in the last 30 seconds, a gift unto -- i'll keep you in suspense, i'll let you know the day. comes. i said holy cow! this is the high country. they were very happy up there. >> this is not your first rodeo. you've done "snl" -- >> nine times. yes, yes. >> do you get nervous, the whole live thing? >> no. the thing is the writing ends up being so key. it is a very intricate puzzle. the excitement of it is to get those ideas on monday and see

until you walk out on stage. >> they change it last-minute, don't they? >> this he have internal cuts to the scene. even like as american dad, even there, trim, trim, beat, beat, cut, cut. you honestly have seven seconds to look at the pages and just pray it's on the cards and it's always on the cards. >> you may have gotten a sense of this as we were introducing tom, but he is always one to go to self-deprecating humor when you start to compliment him. >> well. >> but i will say that i think to get another oscar nomination. >> well, you know, if they invite me to the pancake breakfast -- here's the thing. if they invite you, they give everybody a little thing. they give out tvs and waffle irons. it is a pancake breakfast. you think oh, pashaw, then you think, i would actually like to

you are a beautiful liar. >> what's going on? there are all kinds of women like you around there. the orange room was filled with them. >> dylan. there she is. tom hanks, it is the "today" show. "inferno" opens on friday. up next, derek jeter and muhammad ali's widow, lon in i a lonnie ali, will tell us what

8:41. we are back now with a look at the life of the legendary muhammad ali. "unfiltered." lon nie ali wrote the forward i the book, published by jeter publishing. lonnie knows all too well i've had an almost life-long

i've read everything i can read. borders on obsession. i started going through the pages of this and i saw images i had never seen before which is amazing. what was it like pulling this together? >> it was awesome. when ali estate reached out to us and said that they were interested in this project, it was a no-brainer for us. because we want to capture ali with a unique perspective of lonnie and the family. it doesn't get any better than that. >> when you saw these brought back. >> oh, i mean they span his lifetime. and it shows all facets of mohammed. in the childish, impish mohammed. serious athlete mohammed. the pensive mohammed. mohammed that belonged to the world, the icon. then it shows him in his later years. >> "unfiltered" is a series of books. but could there be a better

ali than "unfiltered." because he spoke his mind. >> he was always unfiltered. >> do have you a favorite picture in the book? >> my favorite pictures in the book -- most people know muhammad inside the ring. but i like to see the pictures of him outside the ring, interacting with kids who at the time probably didn't even know who he was. but the smiles that he put on their faces, just shows a great deal about his personality. >> how about you, lonnie? >> yo you have one pictureth about the children, about the next generation. there was a picture in there of a little boy, he must be 2 with a muhammad ali t-shirt on with muhammad on the front. it was wonderful to see this little one, this muhammad is being passed down to that next generation. >> derek, you are also an athlete who rose to the top of your chosen sport, as muhammad did. muhammad also decided he wanted to have a big impact not only with kids but with people all around the world.

and the power of a personality? >> well i mean, first things first. he was a fierce competitor, obviously. he outworked, he outtrained everyone. when you talk about legacy, you can have a legacy on the field, in the ring, but i think a lot of people are more consumed with their legacy away from the ring. that was muhammad. i mean what he stood for, it goes without saying. he's someone that all athletes look up to. the way he spoke his mind, he in, in a time there were repercussions for that. says how strong of a character he is. >> i think of muhammad often when i watch football on sundays these days. i watch the protests and i watch the reaction to a guy like colin kaepernick who's decided to take a knee during the national anthem. muhammad would have had something to say about that. >> that's true. he would have. he would have been very proud of colin. maybe not doing it the way he did it, but the fact that he

up for are social injustice. you don't see enough of that. athletes have that platform. i'm glad to see that they're taking it. >> when this guy retired over here, lonnie, i sat down, we talked. i gave him a list of athletes and i said, muhammad ali, michael jordan, brett favre, what do they have in common. he immediately said they're all winners. i said, no, they also all came back from retirement. >> that's true. >> he didn't take the >> i can stop the question now. no. no. i don't think anyone would want me to come back from reenvironment. >> thretirement. >> world series. prediction. >> you put me on the spot. >> like you didn't know i would ask you that? >> i'm happy for both cities. >> who do you want to win? >> the team i want to win already lost. i don't root for the teams that i don't play for. no, it is going to be exciting for either city.

>> lonnie, always good to see you. >> good to see you, too, matt. >> keeping nice company. derek, always great to have you back as well. the book "muhammad ali unfiltered" is out now. check it out. up next, we're in the kitchen with anthony bourdain. but first on monday morning,

>> chef author and award host anthony bourdain here taking the world on adventures, culinary journeys for years and out with a long overdue cook book called "simply appetite." >> good to be here. >> i have to say there is a genuine energy in the studio not just because we love you. >> hunger. >> we want to eat what you're cooking. i want to ask about the cook book.

>> i think i'm making up for my sins, i enjoy my work, i'm trying to be useful. i'm the father of a 9-year-old. these are dishes that she likes and it's very much a book geared towarding useful and entertaining at home with a 9-year-old in mind. >> it's not so adventurous to be intimidating. >> no. reasonable expectations should be an important part. people should understand where they are likely to mess up and you kn shouldn't try if you are really trying to impress people. i think a lot of cook books are unrealistic and this is geared to ordinary cooks. >> beside accessibility is there a common thread or is it all kind of different cuisines? >> stuff i like and connect with on emotional level. not fancy. a few greatest hits from around the world that i picked up. again, these are things that you

to throw together. >> you just described me in my college years -- not really. let's get to cooking. i'll follow you. we're going to make something delicious. our taste testers are anxious. does your daughter like -- >> she very much likes, very daring with her food. and was eating oysters. i never tried to make her a foodie but yeah, she's pretty >> what are we making? >> we're doing basically every grandmother in italy does better than me. probably every italian american grandmother in new jersey. this is sunday gravy, tradition of two dishes out of one. you slow braise some meat. >> why ox tail? >> it's this is the traditional thing. you can use beef shortribs instead. neck bone, pork neck bone,

i think it's important people understand that you should never overcrowd the pan when you brown the meat. so brown the meat. once it is browned remove it from the pan and get this nice brown stuff down there. your meat here. >> add in our spices. >> onions. okay. you want to sweat them for a bit. very important to salt your onions at this time. really brings up the flavor. >> you brown the ox tail first, >> ox tail and neck bones. you don't want to crowd the pan. so a little pepper, crushed red pepper. oregano. garlic. okay. i'm speeding this up. generally once they are sort of soft and clear, very important, chef's trick, throw in your tomato paste and you want to mix

saute it for a while until it's brown and starts to stick to the pan. doesn't look too pretty but at this point deglaze. some red wine. >> magic of television. >> and you scrape up all of that good stuff in here. >> the bits and parts at the bottom. >> reduce by half. something that looks like this. >> very good. looks meaty. >> now you can add your crushed tomatoes. this by a real italian grand ma who kept hitting you. >> that was in naples. she was hitting me as i'm -- >> that's what matt does to me during the show. >> some basil, a bailiff, rosemary andt thyme. plop it in and throw into a 350 degree oven for about 2 1/2 hours.

for a half hour. and through the magic of television. >> let us see. >> downstairs let us taste. what do you think? >> you're too late. we've been tasting since this started. >> bread to sop up the sauce. >> there we go. you should have a nice tender fall off the bone meat. which you want to serve on the side as a second course. using that sauce with all of that nice meat flavor, you toss your two courses for one out of relatively inexpensive ingredients and you kind of have three courses because at the end of the day do your bread around in the sauce. >> al was talking about. get her done there. >> almost not worth eating if you can't drag bread through it. >> thank you so much. the cook book is called "appetite."

this is "today." >> can i say it's so nice to see you two together. you and the stove. >> oh, you. we're back in a moment.
