taking off right after the show. we'll talk and curse al roker in just a little while. let's start with politics though. in one week the polls will be open. let's get right to the state of the race. seven days to go. this morning the fbi is poring through thousands of e-mails found on anthony weiner's laptop looking for any connection to the ongoing investigation into hillary clinton. >> despite that newest e-mail controversy, our newest nbc news/survey monkey online poll shows clinton holding a six-point lead. out, both campaigns are if high gear today. trump has two rallies in states like pennsylvania and wisconsin. clinton makes three stops in florida. she's keeping her powerful surrogates busy as well with t biden and senator bernie sanders all on the campaign trail for her. nbc national correspondent peter alexander starts us off this morning. peter, good morning. >> reporter: matt, savannah, good morning to you. this morning campaign aides tell me that donald trump and his

go on offense today with a policy speech calling for an end to obamacare. we've learned that investigators made a duplicate of the hard drive from the laptop belonging to anthony weiner and are now poring through it. >> reporter: battered by donald trump's criticism about her latest e-mail issue -- >> what is in those e-mails is absolutely devastating. >> reporter: hillary clinton's now looking to get back on offense, taking aim at trump's >> donald trump should immediately disclose all of his ties and connections to the kremlin and its associates. >> reporter: after the top senate democrat, harry reid, accused fbi director james comey of having a double standard, for refusing to release "sploes of information" regarding trump's ties to russia, nbc news has learned the fbi has launched a preliminary inquiry into former trump campaign manager paul

handwritten records, according to "the new york times," show manafort was to be paid $12.7 million in cash for representing a pro-russian politician in ukraine. while the fbi did not to nbc news' comments for inquiry, a spokesperson for manafort says it is not true. "trump has no knowledge of any of his past or present activities." also attacking the fbi the clinton campaign highlighting a cnbc report citing one former federal official who says comey did not want the fbi to be the federal agency disclosing russia's role in recent hacking because he was concerned it could influence the election. donald trump jr. defending comey from clinton's new criticism. >> comey was the greatest guy in the world two, three months ago, now all of a sudden he's terrible and he is a partisan guy.

evidence they were supposed to hand over. >> reporter: marching into the democratic struggle with michigan, trump intensified his attacks. >> i have a son named barron. i want to tell you, she is a terrible example for my son and for the children in this country. that i can tell you. >> reporter: this morning the fbi is barely a day and a half into analyzing the thousands of documents found on a laptop belonging to clinton aide huma abedin and her estranged husband overnight, abedin's lawyer released a statement saying she never used that laptop but remains forthcoming." >> i am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my e-mails for the last year. there is no case here. >> this morning there is a new poll out from this key battleground state of pennsylvania showing hillary

double digits, 11 points right now. worth noting that much of that poll was completed before the fbi's announcement about its latest e-mail review. as donald trump and mike pence are trying to get more republicans to many could home to the gop ticket, new evidence this morning that at least one republican leader is still staying away. a spokesperson for john kasich telling nbc news that the ohio governor has now filed his ballot absentee writing in his write john mccain. off, thank you. let's bring in steve kornacki and nicolle wallace. nicolle, starting with you. you've been on campaigns and in this position a week to go before election day. do campaigns view that amount of time as an eternity or a nanosecond? >> well, somewhere in between. imhere's how political information is processed. even if you have a debate where

sometime sometimes, it is the coverage of said debate and sometimes it is the facebook posts about the coverage about the debate. there is about a 72-hour window for political information to sink in and be processed and be judged. after about thursday or early friday, it is very hard to introduce new arguments into this campaign cycle. >> we are going to look more deeply into our poll with steve in a moment. you can show us what the pre-comey, post-comey effect was, if anything. but i guess the question is, enthusiasm of perhaps republicans who were thinking about holding their nose and voting for hillary clinton? are they now coming home, as donald trump and mike pence are trying to encourage them to do? >> there are some indications. there were some indications that republican voters who had been sort of hold-outs were taking a new look in the final stretch of campaign and maybe coming to the conclusion, at the end of the day, i got to be with my party on this. this might hasten all of that.

changed. maybe that's not the right question here as much as it is who is going to be more motivated because of this. i can see that happening for republicans. >> how much does attitude of a candidate come into play now? isn't it true that a candidate in the final days needs to start to project positivity? in other words, a sense that we're doing well, and then perception becomes reality for voters? >> yeah. listen, this may be another one of the bygone traditions of presidential politics. you typically pull your negative ads down in a final weekend. positive, affirmative message but there's nothing normal about this candidacy. a, i don't know a lot of republicans recognize home with a head lamp and a map. and it speaks to his deficit. i think upwards of 90% of democrats are behind their nominee. he struggled to get beyond 75% of republicans. so it makes an interesting case for the map that he's chosen. he's in states where he is not on offense. he has a big gap.

what is he projecting. >> it wouldn't be a fun political segment if we didn't send steve over to the wall. looking at this tracking poll nbc conducts for survey monkey. >> peter mentioned the headline. 47%-41%. that's where theacends right now. of course the big question is last week, this is a weekly tracking poll. they're out there every day taking the poll. you can see last week before that announcement from the fbi, they were finding 47%-41% clinton. then two days of a the announcement, impact in terms of the polling here. bottom not dropping out for hillary clinton as a result. >> i'm going to go way, way out on a limb here. i many and going to suggest that perhaps whether people see the comey letter as a distraction or a significant might fall along party lines. >> you would be amazed to know how divided this country is. first of all, there is the overall question -- is it important or a distraction. slight majority saying important. if you are a democrat, 83% say that's just a distraction. it's not important.

if there is a silver lining here for trump at all, if you look at independent voters, they are more likely to say it is important. maybe a bit of an opening there for him. >> steve and nicolle, thank you, as always. let's talk now about a frightening scene in alabama br a gasoline pipeline exploded killing at least one worker. this happened near the site of a rupture back in september that led to gas shortages across the south. this morning that pipeline is shut down once again. nbs latest on this. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. several roads here remain blocked off as authorities have managed to contain this fire and are now letting it burn itself out. many analysts and aaa expect that alabama's second major pipeline disruption in less than two months could mean higher prices at the month. >> oh, my god, it is growing so fast. >> reporter: this morning, authorities in alabama are scrambling to find out how much

impact the nation's gas supply, the blast sending flames and thick smoke soaring over shelby county. >> we're going to evacuate the command area. >> reporter: firefighters rushed to contain the blaze as it burned dozens of acres in an area already plagued by severe drought. >> chief, i'm going to need three engines, 1,000 gallons onboard. >> reporter: overnight colonial, the company that owns the pipeline, confirmed one worker was killed, five others injured. the company says an igniting the fire. eyewitness larry garner was among the first on the scene and saw one worker covered in flames. >> picked up one man that was working down there and brought him up there and washed the gas off of him, send him on to the hospital. >> reporter: the explosion happened just miles from the site of a pipeline leak just a few weeks ago. that incident caused gas shortages and sent pump prices soaring ing across the southeas.

east coast fuel. overnight colonial said our deepest condolences go out tonight to the family and friends of the person who was lost. >> our crews are pmoving here nw to set up an incident and command post and will be responding to all the resources available to them. but in any kind of situation like this, you can never feel comfortable until it is over. >> reporter: that pipeline remains shut down. it is unclear for how long. overnight, gasin significantly in overnight trading. again, analysts expect that could mean higher prices at the pump for a large swath of the country in the coming weeks. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. now to a halloween night tragedy. it happened in rural mississippi. two children and one adult were killed, several others suffered life threatening injuries when a truck plowed into a halloween hayride. this happened in newton county about 80 miles east of jackson. all ten victims were on a

crash and so far, police say there have been no arrests. we are hearing for the first time the voice of omar mateen, the gunman responsible for the largest mass shooting in u.s. history. orlando police released new audio recordings on monday from the pulse nightclub massacre that occurred back on june 12th. on the chilling 911 tapes, mateen explains to a police crisis negotiators his reasons behind the deadly rampage. >> can you tell me where you are help? >> no. because you have to tell america to stop bombing syria and iraq. they are killing a lot of innocent people. >> a s.w.a.t. team swarmed in about three hours after the initial 911 call. they killed mateen. in all, 49 victims were killed, 53 wounded. a judge will now decide whether to release more than 200 other calls recorded during that

strike in philadelphia could have a big effect on election day. more than 100 workers walked off the job after not reaching a contract agreement. subway, bus and trolley service were brought to a halt. with election day just one week allay, they may seek an injunction to force striking workers back on the job if no resolution by next tuesday. anticipation is high in tonight's pivotal game six of the world series. the indians have a chance to close things out and win their first title in 68 years. they could do it at home. for the cubs, it is a must-win to force game seven. nbc's ron mott is at progressive field in cleveland. ron, good morning. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning to you. fans here in cleveland are pretty confident about their team's chances going into game six tonight with this 3-2 games series advantage.

pressure on these teams is enormous. the anguish, the anxiety, the anticipation. this world series has been exhilarating and exhausting for fans of both clubs. narrowly missing a three-game sweep of the cubs at wrigley field to take the crown, the tribe's back home in cleveland on a quest -- win one and it's done. >> it's been a long time. >> it couldn't be a better match-up. >> reporter: chicago transplant is there any one team more deserving than this thing? >> absolutely the cubs. >> reporter: naturally, the indians are the talk of the town ahead tonight's game six. one caller after another on sports talk radio virtually certain a championship is headed their way. another cleveland champ, lebron james, tweeting -- one more, boys. and historyis on their side. the last team to battle back 3-1 games to win it on the road was

only five clubs in baseball history have ever done it, home or away. still, the cubs are focused yet loose. team president theo ebbstein handing out candy. manager joe maddon showing up to work in this, while their smallest fans scribble well wishes on the bricks yooutside wrigley. meantime, indians super fan, 104-year-old emily known simply at nana, is gearing up yet again with a pointer guys. >> i want them to steal more bases. >> reporter: ticket prices for tonight's game, a home run for sellers. s stubhub says average price for a resold ticket, $1,400. the high, $11,000. and the prices only go up from there for game seven, if there is is a game seven. >> you are going to fly out to cleveland after the show. >> absolutely.

i got to do it. it's hard to believe how warm it's actually going to be for this game. we're talking about game six tonight. 69 degrees november 1st in cleveland. if there is a game seven, we've got some late game showers and a temperature possibly of 70 degrees! that's crazy. wide, big area of high pressure pushes the jet stream up to the north. you have this strong high pushing that warm air up into the midwest. we've got the risk of warm streaks going. new orleans, three days in a row of record-breaking temps. atlanta, three days and the hits just keep coming. could set a record today in atlanta. montgomery, mobile, new orleans and birmingham. as weove into the upper in i had west, cincinnati, 82. louisville could see a record. same with nashville and memphis. it stretches out west as well from roswell, little rock, on into wichita.

but just shy of 70 degrees around the metro area. windy east side of town, gusts up to 25-30 miles an hour in the morning, that will die down tonight. clouds hang tomorrow, dry, high near 60 which is close to average. we warm a bit by saturday, with another small chance for right

if they want to look at more e-mails of one of my staffers by all means go ahead, look at them and i know they will reach the same conclusion they reached when they looked at my e-mails last year. >> meantime the fbi has launched a preliminary inquiry into donald trump's former campaign manager. it's focused on his foreign business connections. and our latest nbc news survey monkey on line poll that was conducted in the days before and after the comey lead over trump. that is virtually unchanged since last week. in today's campaign moment, a changing of the guard on social media. the white house has just announced that when president obama leaves office he will also leave behind the @potus twitter account and hand it over to his successor. that person will inherit the more than 11 million followers. president obama, mean while,

called @potus 44, similar new accounts will be created for the first lady and the vice president. in the meantime the clinton campaign is out with a new ad in the last week of the race and it's raising some eyebrows. nbc's hallie jackson has more on that. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi there, matt. good morning. with just seven days to go hillary clinton is trying to hammer home her argument that donald trump is simply too dangerous to be commander in chief. by referencing one of the most famousnd ads ever, an ad the trump campaign is brushing off as just a distraction from they say clinton's own controversies. >> an already explosive campaign now going nuclear. in a matter of speaking. >> bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. >> one, two -- >> reporter: the clinton team turning to this black and white ad from the height of the cold

clinton playing off perhaps the most famous presidential ad of all time, it this three-year-old. >> this was me in 1964, the fear of nuclear war we had at children i never thought our children would ever have to deal with that again. >> reporter: now in the final week of the campaign clinton is trying to capitalize on the concerns some have about trump in the oval office, reinforcing her message on tv, on stage this actual nuclear war doesn't seem to bother donald trump. good luck. enjoy yourselves, folks, is what he had to say about a potential nuclear conflict. >> reporter: here is what donald trump actually said to cnn in march about more u.s. allies getting nuclear weapons. >> we're better off frankly if south korea is going to start to protect itself. >> saudi arabia. >> saudi arabia, absolutely. >> reporter: and with msnbc's

cards off the table. >> how about europe. >> i'm not going to take it off the table. >> reporter: a month later trump today matt and savannah on "today." >> i will be the last to use nuclear weapons, it's a horror to use nuclear weapons. >> reporter: the trump campaign calling clinton's new ad a sad and pathetic attempt to change the subject away from the criminal investigation into her illegal e-mail server. some trump supporters insisting it's clinton who is actually more dangerous. more like mark who remembers the original lbj ad. >> it's a powerful thing. >> do you think it's equally powerful for hillary clinton. >> i think it's just another one of her tricks. >> reporter: our latest nbc news "wall street journal" poll shows more people believe clinton would be a better commander in chief than trump, 52% to 32%. although we should note that that poll was taken before friday's fbi e-mail news. matt, savannah.

our news this morning about bill cosby. he heads back to court for a key hearing for the sexual assaults charges against him. stephanie gosk is at the courthouse for us in pennsylvania this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. bill cosby walked into court today guided by a long time aide. he is here for the first round of pretrial hearings to argue that his case be thrown out, that the charges against him are unconstitutional. among arguments that the 79-year-old is now nearly blind and the victim of racism. >> do yoant to say anything? >> reporter: boss blee's lawyers now say that his client is legally blind and that his memory is fading him it impossible to defend himself against charges. cosby's lawyers referred to 13 other alleged victims who are ready to testify in the case to

back to the 1960s. in court documents the defense argues mr. cosby cannot even determine whether he has ever even seen some of his accusers let alone develop defenses. cosby has never been charged with any crimes based on their accusations and denies the claims. in a motion filed late monday the defense said the 13 women in question are unreliable and fail to demonstrate a signature pattern of conduct. the defense also believes in court documents lawyers argue that when the at least 50 women accusing cosby of sexual assault or misconduct started coming forward, the public jumps into a mob, willing to believe unsubstantiated decades old allegations against an african-american citizen. >> he thought an absolute generation of americans to trust in america, to trust in america regardless of who you are or the color of your skin that your

that trust has been shaken. >> what about us black women whom he sexually violated? >> we interviewed cosby accuser lily bernard at her home in los angeles and read her parts of the recent court documents. >> they say that this is, quote, a highly publicized crew side against mr. cosby. >> bernard after sex ses cosby of drugging and raping her three times in the early '90s. she never went to authorities and cosby d accusations. >> he is paralleling my holding him accountable for his drugging and raping me to his being a vak tim of racism to his being a victim of a modern day lynching. what that does is it den greats the souls of the real heroes in the civil rights movement. >> bernard is not among the 13 with em who may be called to testify. nbc news has learned from court documents and the witnesses themselves that at least two of the women are african-american.

mostly white ak certificates were chosen to trigger racist sensibilities in the jury. bernard disagrees. >> what is keeping bill cosby out of jail is not the color of his skin it's the power, it's his monetary worth. >> reporter: you can expect to hear a similar argument from the prosecution. they will say that there was not an unconstitutional delay in these charges and that bill cosby has used his name and fortune to in their words, quote, cover up his crimes. savannah. >> stephanie gosk at the coou let us get another check of the weather from mr. roker. >> things a little unsettled out in the midwest as we watch a system start to develop, we are starting to see showers in the upper great lakes and some snow as you get up into canada. a weak frontal system will be pushing through, low pressure will develop along that. later this afternoon. joe every night look for these storms to develop and then pushing on into parts of northern illinois including chicago by late in the afternoon tomorrow and those push toward

as we mentioned this morning, we're launching no shave today to raise awareness for men's health. we're going to be growing out our facial hair throughout the month of november. we've also partnered with dr. oz to highlight some important issues. first up, testicular cancer. dr. oz, good morning. let's get it out of the way right off the bat. people hear testicular cancer. men, they get embarrassed with be they don't want to talk ba it. it deals with a part of the body they are i think 55% of men say this embarrasses them. >> i get it. i tell my patients all the time, you got to be the expert on your body. men shy away, this is an awkward part of the body, things you don't talk about. take a peek at this interesting video. you'll enjoy this. >> it can be pretty hard to get a man's attention. but this is about men's health

incorporating some guy stuff in this video to keep you interested. here's three easy steps to check yourself for testicular cancer at home. first, go in the shower. because the steam will relax your scrotum. next, hold each testicle in your hand one at a time between your fingers and your thumbs. feel for hard lumps. smooth or round if you found any of those or notice a change in size, see your doctor. now you know how to take your health into your own hands. literally. >> that's brilliant. >> put the car in there for jay. >> little slam dunk as well. that's great. 88% of men in our survey that we conducted if conjunction with you said they know they should screen themselves once a month.

they don't really know what to do and how to do it. thus, the psa. but it is bigger than that. the fact of the ma earth is we're embarrassed because these are sexual organs. things that have to do with basic bodily function we don't get into. this whole month is about taking care of yourself so you are there for your family. >> what age should men start checking themselves doing self-examinations. >> at around age 15. my opinion is start at age 15. many medical societies agree. at least through the next two decades of life. all the good behaviors we adapt we start when we're young. get in the shower and collection it out. >> if you can find this early, incredibly curable especially if it stays localized. >> men are a little clueless on this stuff. we really are intimidated and embarrassed and we shouldn't be. we'll spend some time this week

bit baltimore more comfortable. >> a good way to remember this is when you see us growing our hair out and looking scruffy, terrible, think i should be doing a self-examination for testicular cancer or prostate cancer, colon cancer. get screened for that. that's what the purpose of the month is. >> it's what a real man does. we put some manly things in the video. mentally take control. it is your destiny. >> carson is in the orange room with more. to help us kick off our no shave today, mark hedstrom is raising money for men's health charities. good to have you here. thanks so much. you guys do a lot of great work. what specifically -- what specific charities are you raising money for? >> we raise money for the movember foundation.

we are in 21 countries around the world. we've raised $710 million in 13 years. this is our 13th campaign. >> when people see the mustache, the whole idea of this was for what? for mustache to just be a reminder? >> it is a reminder -- i have a terrible mustache about ten days in. but the point is to start a conversation about men's health. when you see a guy on the street with a ten-day old mustache, you'll start billboards for are men's health. >> mark, thanks so much. we'll be growing our beards and mustaches out this month. if you are, too, send your photos using this hashtag "no-shave today" of course their hashtag is movember. mark, good luck this month. thank you. coming up next, dana carvey is about to leave some lasting impressions on all of us. but first, this is "today"

we're back now at 8:39 with another installment of "lasting impressions." with dana carvey, just one week to go before the election. you just happen to have a great netflix special this friday. >> don't you love the pharmacy? don't you love the social dynamic of the pharmacy? i just love it. you go in there, everyone's uptight. you know the pharmacist in the white lab coat there's always an old guy off to the side who's clearly been there all day. did my doctor call? they always know his name because he's there so much. no, bill, he didn't call. try the blood pressure machine again. that's always fun. >> dana, welcome back. >> did dr. oz see that? >> he just walked out of the studio. >> that's wrong! feel free to laugh. >> you've been joining us throughout the campaign.

he is a comedy legend, an emmy award winning tv host. we like to call him a friend. his hit series "jay leno's garage" is in full gear this season from vintage vehicles to super charged cars, jay gets in the drivers seat pursuing his passion >> in the newest episode jay sets up a once in a lifetime corvette drag race between vice president joe biden and general colin powell. take a look. >> the only bad thing about driving an older corvette is there's always some showoff in a new corvette trying to blow your doors off. >> the question is, can he drive? >> he's got better brakes than you. >> he's got better everything

>> look who it is. >> where were you? is i kept looking in the mirror. >> they really started trash talking each other to the point the secret service -- they both go -- they almost hit each other. secret service are going "settle down, settle down. get biden out of that car." >> how did you pull it off? how did you get the two of them to do it? >> colin powell likes to that's what he does in his spare time. joe biden has had that corvette. we did a thing on love affairs with cars. like original owner cars. he got it new in '67. only two payments left. no. he got a new one in '67. he's had it all this time. his son surprised him a couple years ago and restored it. but being vice president he couldn't drive it. we went to the secret service training facility where there are a couple hundred miles of road where you can do whatever

colin powell showed up with his car. >> you've been collecting cars for years. for people who want to get into this, you don't have to spend millions of dollars. >> no. you know, i like the story. sometimes you buy the story. one of my favorite stories, i already owned a hudson hornet. this 94-year-old lady calls me, we bought a hudson hornet new in '51. we drove it from my husband died in '96. i want it to go to a new home. i go look at it. it's totally worn out. she says will you give me $5,000 for it? i said okay. i bought it. we took it back to the garage, fixed it up, painted it. about 16 months later, it's done. let me see if she's still alive. hello. she's 96. i said you want to go for a ride in my car? oh, no, i got to get my hair done.

she says accoucan the kids come? i said sure. the kids are 70 and 72. i go out to the house. they've got her blindfold edbli. they bring her out blindfolded. she sees the car, gets very emotional. she says let's go for a drive, pretend we're driving cross-country in new jersey. now the 70 and 72-year-old are in the back. they start going like this to each other. she turns slapping the crap out of them. i'll pull this car over! the three of them were laughing. it was so much fun. i go well, that's what it is. it is not a really valuable car. but it is a fun car. it brought back such memories for this woman. then the kids told me when they were teenagers they were ashamed that their dad had this, by that time, 16-year-old car. the dad would drop them off down the block from high school. they would walk to school so the kids wouldn't see their dad had an old car. of course now it is a classic car.
