hard at work. >> did you see the interview with craig and his wife? craig at one point mouthed it. >> we will soon find out. we will get into that and keep you posted if anything happens. let's get into the state of the race with the election now three days away. hillary clinton pulling out all the stops on friday night bringing in beyonce and jay-z in cleveland. she will concentrate on florida and pennsylvania today. meanwhile, donald trump is criscrossing the country. he starts the day in florida and heads to north carolina and colorado and nevada. let's begin with nbc's national correspondent peter alexander in tampa where donald trump will hold a rally this morning. good morning, peter. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning. we are 72 hours away from the polls opening on election day. donald trump will go all over the country trying to capitalize

arlly clinton tries to slam the door on the republican nominee. ? freedom ?? >> reporter: music's queen beyonce with a surprise appearance in ohio. >> look how far we've come from having no voice to okay the brink of making history. >> reporter: alongside husband jay-z. >> with your help, a glass ceiling to crash once and for all. >> reporter: in cleveland, where she is strong with her base. trump's strategy is different. >> when we win on november 8th, we are going to drain the swamp. >> reporter: a raucous rally in pennsylvania. even taking a track at clinton's star-studded night. >> i didn't have to bring jlo or jay-z. >> reporter: the outsider

republican nominee. then did not publish it. e wall street journal saying the claim of the affair is totally untrue. so back to the campaign trail. you have hillary clinton trying to bring in the star power. for the clinton campaign, they hope to go forward and motivating voter was a strong ground game operation. in cleveland, a county of 1.3 million where there is one early voting site. to get concert, you had to go to the board of elections. the only place to vote early. now clinton will be in cleveland tomorrow with lebron james. >> thank you, peter. let's bring in nbc news editor mark murray. he will look at the electoral college map. mark, let's do math here. donald trump's path to 270. where is it? how is it?

for trump. he is at 180 electoral votes. you need 270 for the presidency. this means he has to win every single -- win every single battleground state. let's go into this. he has to win every battleground. i'm talking about florida for example. he has to win north carolina. he has to win new hampshire and ohio. so you e and then he has to be able to pick off one of the places in the midwest, stephanie. michigan or pennsylvania. just to be able to get to 270 electoral votes. that really is what donald trump has to do. win all the toss-ups and pick off a place where hillary clinton is strong and lead in the polls.

him. is florida a luxury for hillary clinton? >> if hillary clinton wins florida, if she ends up winning north carolina, it's almost game over. really hillary clinton, one thing, if she is able to hold pennsylvania and able to hold a michigan or wisconsin, what she needs to do, the final piece of the puzzle is win new hampshire or win nevada. that would be her goal to be over 270. as peter mentioned, donald trump is heading out west to pick off one of those states. >> we will see, mark. the candidates are working overtime. thank you. we turn to joy reid. host of "a.m. joy." good morning to you. three days to go. can you believe it? tuesday. >> how happy we will be on the night. >> will it be over?

both campaigns have new ads out. we will play a clip and talk about it. ? eye of the tiger ? ? fire ? ? dancing through the fire ? ? i am the champion ?? >> the only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you, the american people. >> so there you go. let's talk about the message of both have to drive home in the final days. >> first of all, the difference in the the pop culture and weight of pop culture on her side. when queen bey. when beyonce is out there and jay-z, the culture is with you. you hear katy perry. i think the message from hillary clinton is to have her base get excited. if you are a young woman, being excited. her message is uplift. >> and donald? >> and donald trump's message is

he is running on rage and paranoia. >> donald has a new messenger. melania trump on the trail this week. the first time we have seen her give a speech since the convention. she was in pennsylvania. did she achieve that goal? >> i think at this point, most of this is baked. we see the early vote numbers coming out about the way we would expect it and the problem they have is we're seeing what the polls would have shown. which is have a 31-point swing since 2012. they supported romney in 2012. they are swinging heavily to hillary clinton this time. if he cannot stem that tide between that and hispanic vote, women and hispanics are why he would lose the race. the early vote numbers are in his fair. better than expected. it is not turning out how she thought. without women and hispanics and huge swing since 2012, i don't

must wins. >> i want to say on melania, joy, one of melania's main messages if donald trump were elected, cyber bullying. can we talk about the irony that her husband could be appointed commander in chief of the twitter beatdown? >> absolutely. ending cyber bullying starts at home. this is a guy who called turn on her. he is somebody who can't put his phone down. he is on the iphone tweeting at 3:00 in the morning tweeting abuse at alicia machado. it is unusual why they put her out there that way and why in philadelphia? >> i don't get it. >> hillary is going to michigan.

if they are worried about michigan, that should make people worried on the democratic team. >> quickly, donald trump talks about the fact that the clinton presidency will be paralyzed with investigations and indictments. is this legitimate? there are so many people in the streets and reporters talking to the base. they believe this. scare tactics. >> republicans are saying it. i think one of the things which is dangerous for democracy which ever side you fall on is the idea of republicans are clear, they plan to criminalize the clinton administration with investigations. now you have the fbi. this is not something the democrats or republicans should cheer. this could be turned on anyone. so i think yes republicans are telegraphing they will not just accept the results of the election and try to work with the new president. they plan to paralyze her or

>> on the flip side, we know the e-mails on anthony weiner's laptop are not all duplicates. we know qatar gave $1 million to the foundation which she never disclosed. >> so we understand it. qatar, the country in the middle east, gave $1 million to the clinton foundation to which was not disclosed to the state department which she said she would do. >> she signed an agreement with president obama. she did not do that. it comments out not so much. >> the fact we are doing all this three days. >> right. >> three days. >> don't add another day. >> don't act like it is ending in three days. please. >> thank you for coming in. we can continue the conversations in your living room. you can watch joy at 10:00 a.m. eastern and nbc news is the place to be on election night.

do. that is the time to call the doctor. >> i know i'm well taken care of in the hospital, but i'm nervous for the first moments at home. do you have a list of tips that every parent should know? >> the first thing is trust your instincts. everybody who say parent was a new parent at one time. you trust your gut. you will be fine. so you need to partner with a pediatrician that you know you can trust. speak to your friends with children. you can interview the pediatrician. there is so much information out there. you want to make surehe t information you are following has been well researched. i recommend starting with the pediatrician and see if the web site has useful links. ask what they recommend. >> i have a lot of flyers and pamphlets for the classes i should take leading up to giving birth. which ones are important and

>> so you will soon learn that parenting is not one size fits all. some families feel comforted by taking a lot of classes. the one class which is important is a cpr class. any care giver should be trained in baby cpr. if you have an emergency at home, that is when you need to know what to do before help arrives. my sage advice is to just relax and have fun and enjoy the journey. parenting experience. having been doing it for 14 years and the more you live in the moment and try not to worry and trust, the more wonderful the experience will be for you. >> so good to hear you say that. >> and those questions don't come close to all of the questions i had for dr. levine. they range from where should the baby sleep and breast feeding
