and party of the century. millions of cubs fans expected to fill the streets of chicago for a massive parade celebrating their historic world series win. but -- will a man long tormented for adding to the team's curse be there? he's speaking out for the first time in years "today," friday, november 4th, 2016. ♪ just dance dance dance >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on a friday morning. a tale of two moods. okay? i'm in chicago. you got people waiting 108 years to party and blow off some steam. they'll get to do that for the cubs today. but what about those numbers on the election? >> the rest of the country waiting four more days just for this to be over. we saw a poll that says 8 in 10 americans find themselves repulsed by the 2016 campaign. sorry, folks, that's where

we have to start today. four days until the election. here is the state of the race. the candidates busy in the homestretch, each hitting three states. stop me if you've heard this before -- trump in new hampshire, pennsylvania and ohio, clinton in pennsylvania and ohio, as well as michigan. battleground states all. >> new nbc news/"wall street journal" marist poll shows donald trump retaining a nine-point advantage in texas, five points in arizona where hillary clinton has made a big recent push, and trump is ahead by just a point in georgia. >> meantime, clinton's top aide, huma abedin, headlined a fund-raiser in washington, d.c. last night, her first appearance on behalf of the clinton campaign since the fbi announced it was looking into e-mails found on her estranged husband's laptop. let us begin our decision 2016 coverage with peter alexander in hershey, pennsylvania. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt and savannah, good morning to you. while new polls show donald trump chipping away at hillary clinton's advantages, in some key battleground states, the

clinton campaign is really trying to shore up its support in traditionally democratic states, places like michigan and pennsylvania. but new this morning, a top trump aide tells me that donald trump will hit ten states over the next three days from nevada to new hampshire. >> how many of you have already voted? >> reporter: dueling rallies in north carolina, a state that in four days could help decide this tightening race. >> i have so many incredible friends here tonight. >> reporter: trump courting the state's strong military community, appearing on stage with medal of honor recipients, praising their service. >> they're so much more brave than me. i wouldn't have done what they did. i'm brave in other ways. i'm brave -- i'm financially brave. big deal, right? >> thank you all. >> reporter: miles away, clinton getting a boost from former rival bernie sanders. >> and i've got to say, too, this election's been a lot more fun now that we're on the same side. >> reporter: still, the blistering attacks on both sides unrelenting. trump and clinton accusing each other of being unfit to serve.

>> completely out of his depth and whose ideas are incredibly dangerous. >> she has no right to be running. you know that. >> reporter: trump slamming clinton for the fbi review of newly discovered e-mails on an aide's computer. >> if she were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. >> reporter: clinton arguing trump's message is emboldening those with extremist views. >> he retweets white supremacists and spreads racially tinged conspiracy theories. >> reporter: in a radio interview, trump's son eric tore into kkk grand wizard david duke who now backs trump agreeing with the show's host who says duke deserves a "bullet in the head." >> if i said exactly what you said, i'd get killed for it. but i think i'll say it anyway. this guy does deserve a bullet. these aren't good people. these are horrible people. >> reporter: meanwhile, president obama is vouching for clinton while poking fun at the republican nominee. >> somebody who gets fired up and riled up about a "saturday

night live" skit is not somebody you want to trust with nuclear weapons. >> reporter: trump, unimpressed. >> from the campaigner in chief, obama. this guy does nothing but campaign. >> reporter: in the philadelphia suburbs, ma lab ya trump making her solo debut vowing as first lady to fight cyber bullying. >> our culture has gotten too mean and too rough. especially to children and teenagers. >> reporter: but clinton is trying to capitalize on trump's history of insults in a new attack ad. >> i'd look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers. >> he is a war hero because he was captured. i like people who weren't captured. okay? you got to see this guy. i don't know what i said. i don't remember. >> reporter: the nastiness reaching a crescendo heading into the campaign's final weekend. last night, huma abedin, clinton's long-time aide, stepped out in a high-profile way for the first time publicly

since james comey the fbi director announced the review into her e-mails. chased down by paparazzi before a charity event in washington, d.c. >> hi, huma, how are you? >> just to highlight the tightness of this race in these final days, the clinton campaign is now announcing that president obama and first lady michelle obama will join bill and hillary clinton for an election eve rally in philadelphia. matt and savannah, on monday night. >> peter alexander, thank you very much. let's turn to chuck todd. he's going to break down the must-win states for both campaigns. i know you have the lay of the land right there. you see two paths for donald trump. tell us about it. >> one thing to point out, right now our battleground map currently has clinton over 270. there is enough blue states here that we think she can withstand this. let's go through a trump path. he sweeps battlegrounds, give

him all of those nebraska electoral votes. new hampshire short. he has to flip one of these rustbelt states. maybe it is wisconsin. that would put him over. of course a pennsylvania would put him over. but what happens if she pulls off north carolina which a lot of people think. then you see here, as you saw even with pennsylvania, we've got to flip something else. even win two of these rustbelts -- a wisconsin, or maybe even a colorado which we've seen. it is tough. the biggest thing for trump, he's got to figure out how to break through the big blue wall, wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan. he's making it close in all three places but this is where that has to happen. >> that rustbelt strategy is always what they said. >> chuck, come on over and join our conversation. chuck says he has to flip a blue state. if you were scheduling him and looking to try to accomplish that in the last couple of days, where is the best shot? >> the problem is he's not ahead in any of those states and he's not tied in any of the states

with enough electoral votes to get him above 270 or to get him to 270. it is a hail mary strategy. i guess you spread the time. it is a good thing he said he doesn't need a lot of sleep and his schedule reflects that. he is in all of them. >> what about hillary clinton? what is her strategy over the next couple of days? i know it's basically get out the vote, get out the vote. but also hope for a wikileaks free weekend. >> i think there is that, but she is -- they've decided to close hard negative. as you see. every ad. they've trying to remind everybody about every negative thing trump has said, especially to african-american audiences, hispanic audiences. yesterday she brought examples of people, they would introduce her to say donald trump essentially discriminated against me. in front of an program audience, it was an program woman. in front of hispanic audience, she brought an hispanic woman. i kind of think she ought to do

something like, i know a lot of you have some trust issues with me -- but. and i don't think they're going to do that. >> we gave you homework assignments and we were asking what you thought each candidate should do if you were hired by the campaign. >> highly unlikely. >> what is your best piece of advice for the donald trump campaign? >> his mentality when he goes to these big rallies is to entertain them and give them the show he thinks they've waited in line for. it is generous as a politician but he into edz to shorten up that stump speech and focus like a laser. >> i think simply continue to let kellyanne keep his iphone or android. the other thing i would say, show a little bit of humility. i think there are some voters out there that want to know that he actually feels a little bit of remorse for some of the harsh things he said. sort of answer these ads. she's closing this way, maybe actually say the words "i'm

sorry." >> i think a lot of people are saying, okay, only four days to go. but what happens after that? let's look at these numbers that may give us a strong hint of that. 8 in 10 americans say the campaign has left them disgusted or repulsed. how about these numbers? when it comes to donald trump supporters, only 6 in 10 say they'll accept the results of the election if he loses, and only 40% say they think their votes will be accurately counted. where does that leave us in the year to come? >> it leaves us in a place we've never been before. listen, all politics being very personal. i am in a family divided with trump supporters and clinton supporters. the healing i think will begin in every community and every household. but i have never seen numbers like that. i saw something that 70% of people think that the election will be rigged. that means a lot of democrats who think by foreign power and a lot of republicans by state and local election officials. upwards of 60%, 70% of people are grappling with how the

actual election is being tabulated. >> can i be the schoolmarm here? you didn't do your hillary clinton homework. >> so hillary has to make sure that the turnout in the operation that obama pioneered and perfected turns out for her. that's why you see the president, mrs. obama on the trail to sort of activate that. then she has to get through a weekend without another fbi bombshell. she sort of needs a bombshell-free weekend. >> i just think, i smell a two-minute ad. that big, long closing ad, her to camera. look, she's got trust issues. you nobody -- she's not going to fix them with an ad but look the american people in the eye and say, look, i get it. i know you have some issues with me, but i promise "x." makes an ethics play. do something. she's not doing anything to actually respond to those concerns. >> long few days ahead of us, guys. thank you. cyber attacks have already played a major role in this election. nbc news has learned u.s.

officials are now taking unprecedented steps to prevent the possibility of more on election day itself. here's nbc senior legal and investigative correspondent cynthia mcfadden. >> reporter: as americans focus on the razor-tight presidential race between hillary clinton and donald trump, u.s. officials tell nbc news the government has its eyes on potential threats to election day security. according to multiple sources, the u.s. has launched an unprecedented effort to protect the country against cyber attacks aimed at sowing confusion as americans head to the polls. current and former officials say an attack on critical infrastructure, including the u.s. power grid, is 1 of the 3 worst case scenarios on the list of concerns. one highly placed intelligence source tells nbc news -- your vote is safe. you just might not have any lights. also on the list, a large-scale denial of service. in other words -- part of the internet goes down. or, a cyber attack aimed at

disabling communications and transportation in swing states. but intelligence sources in a senior obama national security official tells nbc news they believe a more likely scenario would involve hackers from russia or somewhere else using social media for an 11th hour document dump of false information, implicating one of the candidates with no time for fact checking. while multiple intelligence officials say they have no specific warning about an election day attack, they consider last month's massive and sophisticated internet disruption a possible dry run for inspiration for another attack. for "today," cynthia mcfadden, nbc news. intelligence sources tell nbc news that through diplomatic and back channels, the u.s. has communicated to russia how seriously any cyber attack would be viewed. now some stunning news from one of the country's most prestigious colleges. harvard university has suspended

its men's soccer team for the rest of the season because of sexual comments about members of the women's team. the move came after lawyers found an explicit scouting report on the women's team that included lewd remarks about the players. harvard's president called those comments appalling. the first place men's team will forfeit its remaining games and will skip the ncaa tournament. now to a disturbing discovery in south carolina. a woman missing for more than two months found alive chained inside a storage container. this morning, there is an urgent search under way for more potential victims. nbc's gabe gutierrez has the very latest on this. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the search of that massive property is set to resume later this morning as the suspect is scheduled to face a judge at this detention center later today. this terrifying mystery only now starting to unravel. >> reporter: this morning after a harrowing two-month ordeal,

30-year-old kayla brown is free. friends and family calling her rescue a miracle. missing since august, along with hercharlie carver, authorities found brown chained up in a padlocked storage container. >> it was very emotional, to say the least, when she was found. especially when she was chained like a dog. she had a chain around her neck. >> reporter: found on a 100-acre rural property, the container is roughly the size of a school bus, 30 feet long by 50 feet wide by 10 feet high, according to police. brown told investigators about four bodies she believes are buried on the property triggering a massive search. >> we're trying to make sure that we don't have a serial killer on our hands. this very possibly could be what we have. >> reporter: authorities found weapons, ammunition and a car they say belongs to brown's boyfriend. so far, no bodies. now under arrest -- the owner of the property, a registered sex offender. investigators believe brown and

he may have been acquainted. brown and carver reportedly had dinner august 29th at their apartment. the next day friends received texts from her. two days later they stopped coming. after several weeks, mysterious postings began to appear on carver's facebook page suggesting the couple was fine. but their families believe those were fake. this morning, the stunning discovery still sinking in. >> just knowing that she's alive and i can go see her and hug her and tell her how much i love her. >> reporter: the sheriff says that coalhep will be charged with kidnapping and possibly other charges. expected to be arraigned later today. the power is back on at the pares hotel and casino in las vegas after a massive power outage forced thousands of guests to evacuate the hotel on thursday. a main electrical line was accidentally cut by construction crews in the basement of the hotel. that prevented the back-up generators from kicking in.

11 people were trapped in elevators but eventually rescued. about 3,000 guests were sent to neighboring hotels until they were allowed to return to their rooms this morning. look who is back from his epic travels. hi! did you have a good time? >> unbelievable. still when i think about it. to see history was just really an honor. guess what? the party still continuing in chicago today. perfect weather for the cubs parade. i'm guessing there is not one kid who is going to be in school today. everybody is going to be downtown kicking off at wrigley field at 10:00 a.m. 54 degrees, some sun and clouds, mild afternoon, a high of 59. it is going to be spectacular. just part of a building heat dome that's going to continue to spread from the southwest with temperatures in the 80s in vegas, st. louis in the 60s, atlanta, you're going to be in the 70s as well. look at next week, the beginning of next week. chicago, you'll stay in the 60s. charlotte, in the low 70s. memphis, same thing. dallas and denver as well.

than two weeks. but now new excerpts first appearing thursday in radaronline, it says ailes offered career here in exchange for sexual favors on multiple occasions. he would engage in a kind of cat-and-mouse game with me, veering between onniously inappropriate sexually charged comments -- for example, about the very sexy bras i must have and how he'd like to see me in them -- and legitimate professional advice. according to the excerpts, ailes tried to kiss her several times. when kelly says she refused his advances, she writes, "he asked me an ominous question. when is your contract up?" and then for the third time, he tried to kiss me. in july, writer gabe sherman reported that kelly told investigators hired by fox that she was sexually harassed by ailes. >> she rushed another chapter after completing the man script to address these allegations for the first time.

>> reporter: since july, ailes has denied that he harassed kelly, a denial his lawyer echoed thursday, pointing out kelly's own words praising ailes in an interview last year. >> i really care about roger and he's been nothing but good to me. >> reporter: ailes left fox news abruptly in july just weeks after former anchor gretchen carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. the media mogul denied those allegations, and two months later fox agreed to pay carlson a $20 million settlement. >> the lawsuit really broke the dam, the wall of silence that had existed inside fox news. >> reporter: kelly writes, she was approached to defend ailes several times and refused. there was no way i was going to lie to protect him. the book's release comes after high-profile confrontations between kelly and trump and his campaign over trump's treatment of women. >> you've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.

>> you are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy. >> me? really? >> that's what i get out of watching you tonight. >> you know what, mr. speaker? i'm not fascinated by sex but i am fascinated by the protection of women. >> the book comes out just as kelly is renegotiating her contract at fox. coming up, last-minute election scams. who's behind some fake ads claiming that you can actually claiming that you can actually text your (announcer vo) the new pixel phone by google. only on verizon. okay, google, show me korean restaurants in boulder.

it despite new fake ads you might be seeing pop up online. it sounds too good to be true because -- it is. instead of heading to a polling place or mailing in a ballot, just text your vote instead. like this tweet recommends. encouraging hillary clinton supporters to "vote from home" by texting a number provided. problem is -- it's not an option. non-existent. though that's not stopping some from spreading the bogus rumor online. >> the internet obviously is a tremendous communications mechanism for democracy but it is also a place to amplify anything we didn't like in our democracy to begin with, which includes rumors, lies and dirty politics. >> reporter: twitter has suspended at least one user who promoted these text to vote tweets. in others, messages seem to come from a gop operative who used to have ties to the donald trump campaign. that operative, donald stone,

tells nbc he never posted the images and that he is not responsible for this people. those tweets introduced as evidence of possible voter miss chief in an ongoing legal battle between the dnc and the rnc. the clinton campaign says it's proactively monitoring issues individuals might face while voting with its social media accounts and a trump spokesperson tells nbc of the text to vote tweets -- "this didn't anything involving our campaign" adding their singular focus is turning out voters to support mr. trump. the backdrop to all of this, mr. trump's complaints to a rigged system calling on supporters to watch for fraud at the polls. >> this is a rigged election. >> it is a rigged system. >> it is a rigged election. >> reporter: now in the middle of all that, some pouncing with dirty tricks. so what should you do? remember, if someone asks you to vote by phone -- you can't. that doesn't exist. triple check to make sure info about your polling place isn't fake. and don't provide any sensitive

information about voter registration unless you're sure who you're talking to, like someone from the board of elections. the bottom line, so far voters staying savvy, staying away from voting scams. >> when it comes to the votes already cast this year we can say there's been a whole lot more hype about the threat of a rigged election than evidence that there is any problem with rigging so far. >> listen, even with all the talk this campaign about a rigged system, a new poll shows 3 in 4 registered voters say they will probably accept the official election results as legitimate, even if the person they're voting for doesn't end up the winner. should note though, more clinton voters than trump voters say they feel that way. >> 3 in 4, but still 25% saying -- >> the opposite. >> all right. hallie, thank you very much. still ahead, michael jackson's son, prince, getting emotional during a very rare interview. what he's saying about his father and following in his

it is 8:00 on "today." coming up, the end is near. with just four days to go, donald trump and hillary clinton rev up their campaigns for a final weekend push across the finish line. >> she has no right to be running. you know that. no right. >> we would have a commander in chief who is completely out of his depth and whose ideas are incredibly dangerous. >> as national polls tighten, what are the key states to win for each candidate? plus, signed, sealed, delivered. >> my "today original," good old-fashioned journals and notecards taking us back to a time of civility when people actually took out a piece of paper and a pen to say thank you. >> we team up with shinola to

2016. is this a school holiday or something? we have a big crowd out here today. >> it is crazy out here! it's loud. not only is it loud, i would say it is magical out here. if you wonder why all the screams are happening, it is not for us. it is the cast of "fantastic beast." they're here to give us a sneak peek at the highly anticipated new movie from the mind of j.k. rowling. our crowd, they're waving wands. >> i've got to get one of those wands. i like those. first on this friday morning, here is a look at your "news at 8." i'm peter alexander on the campaign trail ahead of donald trump's rally in hershey, pennsylvania. trump according to latest polls, maintaining leads in states like arizona and texas. it is a much closer race in georgia. but as he begins to chip away at

some of hillary clinton's advantages in some key battlegrounds, a top trump aide this morning tells me trump is going to be going on offense over the course of this final weekend hitting ten separate states in three days. a republican analyst describing that this morning as a hail mary pass for trump. but his closing argument is clear, accusing hillary clinton of being corrupt and saying that she is simply unfit to serve. >> honestly? she has no right to be running. you know that. no right. if she were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis that would cripple the operations of our government. >> reporter: this morning a top trump aide tells me highlighting the fact that hillary clinton is campaigning in pennsylvania today and again on election eve that that simply demonstrates that the democrats are nervous that they might lose the bluest of blue states. now to my colleague, kristen

welker, who is with the clinton campaign three hours away in pittsburgh. >> reporter: peter, good morning. with polls getting tighter, secretary clinton's strategy today aimed to solidify support in some of the states where she already has a lead. she starts her day here in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. she's going to talk about the economy, aiming to energize women voters, and also african-american voters who have been slow to turn out for early voting in some key battleground states. she's raising eyebrows with her second stop, that's michigan, a reliably blue state. some democrats asking if she's worried about losing that state. her campaign denying that, saying it is merely an attempt to solidify that important state where she suffered an upset with bernie sanders during the primary. now she appeared last night in another key battleground state with bernie sanders and superstar pharrell and she sharpened her attacks against donald trump. >> i've had people say that they can't sleep, that their stomachs are bothering them, they have

headaches. and i think that's an important signal, because this is a big decision. >> reporter: new polls do show warning signs for both candidates. let's start with a new poll out in wisconsin which shows clinton ahead by six points. she has a four to five-point lead in recent polls here in pennsylvania but very narrow leads in florida and north carolina. donald trump is up by one point in the reliably red state of georgia. secretary clinton ends her day in one of the biggest battleground states, ohio. she'll be joined by superstar jay-z. matt? savannah? >> kristen, thank you so much. a program note -- our election day coverage begins right here on "today" next tuesday morning. special prime time coverage starting up at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. that's 4:00 pacific. and you want to tune in wednesday morning for all the results, reaction and analysis. want to tell you about a major safety recall now. samsung almost 3 million top loading washing mngs.

officials say the top of the machine can unexpectedly detach posing a risk of injury. there are reports of at least nine injuries, including a broken jaw. until the problem is fixed, consumers should only use the delicate or waterproof cycles when washing bulky items. 34 different models are involved in the recall. for the complete list, go to today.com. there was a very close call thursday for a florida pilot. take a listen. >> guys! clear the building! clear the building now! >> his plane lost power over a driving track where seminole county deputies were undergoing training. instructors cleared the track and a nearby building just before that plane crash landed and skidded into a chain linked fence. the pilot walked away without a scratch and the faa is investigating. just ahead, why it might be okay never to wash your coffee cup. >> your office coffee cup. then on "popstart!" a rare interview with michael jackson's son, prince. and for "today's original,"

i'll team up with a great company playing a big role in detroit's comeback. we'll help some nice kids in the process. when i first started working with capital one, my dad called them up and asked for "the jennifer garner card" which is such a dad thing to do. after he gave his name the woman from capital one said "mr. garner, are you related to jennifer?" kind of joking with him. and my dad was so proud to tell her, "as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter". so now dad has the venture card, he's earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. can i say it? go ahead! what's in your wallet? nice job dad. my swthis scarf all thatsara. left to remem... what! she washed this like a month ago the long lasting scent of gain flings for all you friendsgiving hosts, invite who you want, not who you must. serve a turkey, don't serve a turkey.

grow. >> you don't even have to rinse it with water? nothing? >> if you drink black coffee. how hard is it to walk to the bathroom, rinse with water and put it back on your desk? >> i'm just saying, i work in an office -- >> you didn't just rinse it out with water? >> i've used a dirty cup. >> you like this story? >> first of all, i don't use cream so it is okay. but i am a big coffee drinker. my daughter who is very germphobic is like you didn't rinse the coffee cup. that's so gross. now i can refer her to this story. >> maria, i knew i loved you. i love you. let's go around the table on this one. what makes you most anxious? >> dirty coffee cups. >> my children. >> kids. >> sickness for your sids? >> sitting in next to you. >> we've known each other for a long time. lot of people worry about their help. hypochondriacs among us. a new study says imagining an

illness can actually give you a real illness. researchers in norway finding those obsessive thoughts are linked to a 73% higher risk of heart disease. >> that makes sense. >> we've got to start thinking about good things. not about being sick every day. you ever want something so badly, you say a little prayer to god, you give me this, i'll start going to church, i won't cuss anymore. imagine how hard cubs and indians fans were praying for victory. now we've got a champ and one church in illinois is saying, okay, cubs fans, time to hold up your end of the bargain. check out this sign. it is really cute. central baptist church of springfield says on facebook -- fyi -- if you made any promises, service starts 8:35 sunday morning. >> a priest with a sense of humor. fantastic. in a few days, this country will mark a very important milestone. a day that means a lot to a lot of people. i've circled it on my calendar

for months. not the election. it is the birthday of maria shriver. maria's birthday coming up. you want to take back the nasty things you said about me? >> does it have my name on it? >> it does! >> this is why you had your pastry bag out this morning. >> that's so sweet. >> happy birthday. >> happy birthday, maria. cheers. >> speech! >> you want to take a sniff? >> that's good. i'm actually really touched. >> happy birthday. >> how about "popstart!" in honor of maria's birthday? >> i'll save the bubbly for after. i've learned. because that could be bad. michael jackson's son, prince, opening up in a rare interview talking to the "l.a.

times" about starting his own career and the skills he didn't inherit from his famous father. prince telling the paper he cannot sing or dance like michael but he loves producing the music saying i can never be separated from my father. set that big of an example and i don't really have a problem with that. i'm proud to have his name and to be his son. prince also saying michael once offered him this bit of career advice -- trust no one. >> wow. next, the hollywood legend that is preparing to call it quits. quinten tarantino saying that he plans to stop making feature films after number ten. so far he has released just eight. after that tarantino says his attitude will be, drop the mike, boom, tell everybody, match that "bleep." there you go. finally ryan reynolds and what he said that got him into a little bit of trouble with his wife, blake lively. in september they welcomed their second child, but they're also a very, very private couple so they hadn't released the details

about that birth until this week when ryan let it slip on national television that the new baby is indeed a make it up to wife? with milk and cookies. blake posting this photos. "the way i know that ryan got himself into trouble." her favorite cookies. remember that, fellas. that's your "popstart!." happy birthday! >> we love maria. al, let's get the weather? >> let's do that. shall we? we've got a busy weekend looking ahead. we are watching wet weather making its way into the pacific northwest. more heavy rain from texas into the southwest where we may see some flooding. we'll watch that as well. afternoon. highs, nice and toasty. 70s and 80s through the southwest. 80s through the gulf coast. temperatures throughout much of the country above normal with the exception of the northeast and new england. for new york city marathon sunday, 9:00 a.m., sunny and cool, 50 degrees. by the end of the race it is going to be in the mid 50s with

analog world still. i still like to write my dates in a print calendar and i like to write handwritten thank you notes as opposed to texts and e-mails. so with that in mind i teamed up with a detroit company to create my "today's original." >> reporter: my "today original," good old-fashioned journals and notecards taking us back to a time of civility when people actually took out a piece of paper and a pen to say thank you. i partnered with shinola in detroit because i like comeback stories. shinola helped create more jobs in a city once driven by the auto industry. but detroit fell on hard times, and is now seeing a resurgence. >> this is an area that looks to be dying at one point in time, and now we're breathing. >> reporter: a comeback story that includes students like these at the detroit edison public school academy who are a key part of the next generation of success stories. the money from the sale of my

products will go to this charter school where some of the children are even homeless. they were the driving force behind creating my "today original." >> we've laid out some working samples. part of this is that it is personal to you. >> i'd love to kind of remind people about the joy of actually holding on to something that doesn't ring or beep or send you a tone. >> we have options from notecards to paper journals to linen journals. >> i love that. my calendar now i have one week on double page. >> i like unlined, too. that's nice. >> that's my closet. you just came up with my closet at home right there. i live that color pallet. >> reporter: three months later my "today original" was in the os works at shinola's factory in detroit. first stop, the leather room where passport holders and watch straps are cut, assembled and

stitched. >> we have one of the first ones off the line. so each product will be stamped with the number 20 to signify 20 years at the "today" show. >> that is so nice of you. thank you. >> we thought maybe you want to take a stab at embossing the first one. >> is it difficult? ky mess it up? i don't want to mess up the first one. you have a guys there so you know it is already there? all right? ky do it? hands out. >> nice! >> i really love that. >> we'll be going to watches next. we'll suit up because it is a clean room. >> so i am now prepared for the clean room. >> we are. >> okay. complete with the logo on the back. >> looking sharp. >> i just want you to know, al and savannah are already making fun of us. >> reporter: this get-up prevents even the slightest bit of dust from interfering with motion making. >> all the tiny parts that make up really what makes the watch tick up to 100 tiny parts.

that's rhonda. >> yaba dabba doo! >> what's that mean? >> good time. >> how are you? nice to see you guys. >> they go off and have a brontosaur brontosaurus burger and that's it? >> detroit had been beaten up pretty badly, and i know you guys wanted to be part of the rebuilding of detroit. >> we came here, we saw the future. we wanted to be in a place where we could have an impact. so certainly jobs were something first and foremost that we wanted to create in a city that needed it. >> reporter: shinola is known for craftsmanship. watches, passport holders, journals, date books, and thank you notes finally come together. >> hello, sir. how are you? >> should i be blindfolded or something? >> no, no, no. welcome to the work room. >> wow. >> so this is basically the setup that you would find in the stores. >> we have these journals. >> comes in the navy and the grey.

>> i've always kept an actual physical calendar. this i love. why don't we write a note and i'll thank people for their help in this cause. >> that is something that we could include in all the products. >> let's never forget the personal touch. thanks for helping. >> reporter: a thank you from me to you because every time you buy a product, the money will go towards scholarships at the detroit edison public school academy. these kids are the seeds from which detroit will grow again. >> hey! what a great pleasure to see you all! >> greetings, matt! thank you and have a great day! >> very nice. >> we are so grateful for your visit today. we heard about you. we heard that you don't necessarily go with the texting and the instagraming. you like handwritten notes. so everyone in here wrote a note. >> dear matt lauer, first, i would like to thank you for

taking time from your busy schedule. >> thank you for being willing to give the profits from your product to our scholarship fund. your kindness has proved that you are selfless and you truly care about our community. >> i'm one of these believers that if you still write someone a little note -- when is the last time anybody went to the mailbox and found a letter that was addressed to you? isn't it a special feeling? i can't tell you how much this means to me. i'm so thrilled to be here today. bye-bye! >> that was beautiful! >> i love that school. i'll tell you about that in a second. my shinola thank you notes, journals, date books, passport holders and watch straps are available now. again, the proceeds go to a great cause. scholarships for kids at the detroit edison public school academy. you can find out how to buy them at today.com. they're also for sale at the shop at nbc studios here in 30 rock.

>> matt! >> happy birthday! >> maria's back with a revealing look -- >> i swear, i said i wasn't going to do it this time. matt, you do it to me every time. >> well! man! >> let's make sure we tell people what you mean by that. all right? >> this is the enthusiasm when we watch the raiders take on the broncos and the nfc match-up, sunday night. we've got it covered for the big game. we've got food help happening from the woman behind the dude

dip. we'll get to that in a minute. >> i'm sorry, there's just so much joy going on. happy birthday, sweetie pie. it is a busy, busy weekend. heavy rain in the pacific northwest, unseasonably warm in the plains. look for sunshine along the eastern seaboard. for sunday -- sunday -- warm through the mississippi river valley, more rain from texas into the mid plains. as we look ahead, election day, the election day forecast looks good in the northeast, great lakes, mid-atlantic states. down in the south, temperatures and weather a little on the wet side as you get through the mid mississippi river valley. as we move out west, no big problems. a few showers in the pacific northw good morning, i'm meteorologist bill henley. getting ready for a sunny, breezy day. the winds will blow the clouds out of here. we'll see a lot of sunshine. the temperatures will be a bit cooler this afternoon. 58 degrees in the suburbs. low 60s for philadelphia. middle 50s for the lehigh

preventati preventatively. we'd love to track your progress as well throughout the month to raise awareness for the important cause using the #noshavetoday. carson, thank you so much. harry potter fans certainly have reason to smile this morning. cast of the new movie "fantastic beasts and where to find them" is right here. now this is set 70 years before harry's time at hogwarts when another british wizard named newt scamander sets a host of creatures loose in new york 1920. along the way newt makes some rather interesting friends. >> i really don't have a preference.

>> let's do a little of this. ♪ >> here are the movie's stars. oscar winner eddie redmayne, katherine waterston, dan fogler. >> i need that trick for my kitchen. a show of hands, mo waswho was y potter fan before being in this project? i heard you even auditioned for one of the early roles. >> that is true. when i was at college i auditioned to play tom riddle and it was -- i don't think the real costume director was there. but the seventh assistant was there. i think i said about one line. i wasn't very successful. >> it worked out. >> it definitely did. this is so exciting because it

comes from the mind of j.k. rowling and all of us harry potter aficionados will recognize the title of the textbook in the original harry potter movie with "the fantastic beasts and where to find them" which is one of the books the kids studies. but there was no plot. so it opens it up. don't you think? >> yeah. it was so exciting to get to read the script because nobody knew anything about it except for maybe a few actors and designers and the crew. it was really exciting to be the first people to read it. >> does anyone feel any amount of intimidation that the hopes and dreams of harry potter fans are resting on your collective shoulders? >> what are you talking about? >> no, you are right. we all felt like when we were making it the people behind this made all the films. so we all felt so -- they made us feel so secure while we were making it. in a sense we started promoting the film. everyone is like how's that pressure? >> now i'm like freaking you

out. how was it for you? you are the no-mag for us. you're the american, not a muggle. you don't have wizarding powers. how do you fit into this group? >> oh, man. you ever read or seen mid summer night's dream? >> yes! >> you know the bottom character? just like a regular dude? but he gets to go into the magical forest and he falls in love with tatania, you know, and he gets changed along the way. gets to play with the fairies and he gets to play with the wizards and then by the end, he kind of thinks, man, maybe this is where i was supposed to be. you know? >> and your character, newt scamander. he comes over, he has his magical briefcase. he's been going around the world looking for these fantastic beasts. >> he has been traveling around the world studying and finding these extraordinary creatures

and a lot of them live in his case so it has a kind of mary poppins like quality to it. but he arrives in new york and it sets a lot of things in motion. in some ways it is like the catalyst into a bigger story of proper -- back into the potter world of good versus evil. there is a sort of epic scale to it that he triggers. >> epic is a good way to describe it in terms of the effects and just the sweep of all of this. a lot of times we have actors come here and they'll talk about like, oh, i had to train for this or i did these stunts. as i understand it, at least for the three of you, you had to do some wand work. can we talk about wanding. is it really difficult? >> they've got wand elbow. >> who got wand elbow? was that from like flicking it? >> i think it is doing the same action over and over all day. the next morning you woke up and it really is just like tennis elbow. it's right in there. >> but if feels kind of good

because it makes it feel like you were giving it your all. >> you practice at home with the wand? >> oh, yeah. i basically just walked around the house all the time. my wand work would never give me a bad elbow. wanding is very easy. not practical. >> we better wrap this segment. i should say, congratulations to you. i know you and your wife have a new little one. little miss iris. how is she? >> she's doing incredibly well. she's heaven. we're very lucky. >> we're so happy for you. great to see all of you. i know we will see you a lot because there will be more sequels in this, we hope. >> good luck. >> thank you so much. catch "fantastic beasts and where to find them" in theaters and on imax november 18th.

coming up, maria shriver is here to take us inside the male brain. hmm. but first, this is "today." y'all might want t o dangerous thing. when i come home and dinner's not ready i go through the roof. grab 'em by the p*á*á". when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. more accusers coming forward to say they were sexually assaulted by donald trump. i'll go backstage before a show... yes.. and everyone's getting dressed. donald trump walked into the dressing room while contestants, some as young as 15 were changing.

standing there with no clothes. you see these incredible looking women. i'd look her right in that fat ugly face of hers. she ate like a pig. a person who's flat-chested is very hard to be a 10. do you treat women with respect? uh... i can't say that either. alright, good. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. at a neighborhoods a restaurafavorite - a place for a good, family meal. she juggled customers, cooks, waitresses - and never complained. my dad was a police officer walking his beat. i learned from both what it means to be honest, to work hard, and love family. big banks, wall street, special interests - that's who pat toomey's with. in the senate, i'll work for you and your family. i'm katie mcginty, and i approve this message.

back now at 8:42 with more of our "brain power today" series and the question what makes men act the way we do? no jokes. special anchor maria shriver is here with a look inside the male brain. good morning. >> no jokes, right? okay. no jokes. good morning, the truth is men and women's brains are far more alike than they are different. that's true. far more alike. but there are in fact small differences that may have a big effect on men's behavior. >> this is about work! >> no. this isn't about work. this is about us getting closer and you getting so freaked out. >> reporter: let's face it -- men's brains aren't always on the same page as women's.

>> we have the same thoughts a little bit. i think men are more calm, quiet, reserved. >> i feel like men are not very organized in general compared to women. we don't like to plan ahead. >> those small differences in our brains can have the two sexes acting quite differently. >> reporter: in a new book, a psychiatrist goes inside the male brain to help explain some typical male behaviors. >> the male brain reads emotions very quickly and then, though, shuts it down very quickly behind the masculinity. >> i don't think emotion was a word i used growing up. >> reporter: michael is part of a support group for men. study shows male brains often are wired to be emotional fixers in relationships. >> sits it's very much male wanting to fix it when he is feeling uncomfortable emotions. these things can really cause

conflicts in relationships because she feels not heard by him and thinks he's just running over her. >> well, some things can't be fixed. one thing i learned in this work, we talk about well, why don't we just sit with them. >> sit with not being able to fix. >> sit with whatever it is. whatever the feelings are. see what comes up. >> reporter: during pregnancy, a lot comes up for men as well. call it the doting daddy brain. >> his testosterone starts to go down and his parenting hormone starts to go up. by the time the baby is born, he's already being primed, also, to be a parent. >> reporter: but too often, she says, men get pushed out of quality time with their newborns. >> when my daughter was born, i could feel my want to really connect with her. i was feeling angry at my partner because i feel like i wasn't given the space to kind of spend time. >> reporter: the message to new moms -- leave dad alone with baby. >> studies have actually shown that children that get more

attention from their fathers in their first five years of life actually have better reading scores in school. >> reporter: and as men enter their golden years, hormones in their brains fluctuate just like women's. >> they end up having a little more oxitocin, the cuddle hormone. lots of older men say that they really enjoy cuddling more. >> with my grandson, i'm able i think to be far more expressive and physically affectionate with him than i ever could with my own children. >> reporter: but drops in their testosterone also leave older men vulnerable to mood swings. in fact, our new state of men 2016 survey found nearly half of men feel more depressed than they admit to people. the mankind project helps men learn how to share their feelings. >> i never really learned until i joined this group of men that it was safe enough to let that

armor go, and doing that i could somehow become more of a man myself. >> wow. that i was reading this script earlier going check, check. i identify with all of that. >> and so many women don't understand that. because men don't communicate that. so i'm hopeful that that piece, or understanding that men's brains are a lot like ours but there are also differences and that will foster communication and action. >> and my cuddle hormones are going crazy right now. >> you want to cuddle! >> maria, thank you. by the way, thank those men you interviewed. >> i was going to say that but you cut right into my tag. >> because it was going past without you doing it. >> you interrupted me. the man kind project. find out a lot more about it at today.com. >> my cuddle hormones just crashed. maria, thank you. up next, flank steak, fries and football. the recipes you need to have for sunday night's big game.

but first, this is "today" on nbc. pat toomey and donald trump: they're just wrong for the women of pennsylvania. "new fallout for donald trump." "should a woman be punshied for having an abortion?" "there has to be some form of punishment." "for the woman?" "yeah, there has to be some form." "i would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion and i would, suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them." pat toomey and donald trump: they're not for you. women vote is responsible for the content of this advertising.

we're back now, 8:49 with "today loves football food." getting ready for sunday night's game between the denver broncos and oakland raiders with help from serena wolf, author of "the dude diet." this is tough because you are taking traditional snack food and dude food and making it healthier. >> exactly. dude diet, the realistic and approachable healthy lifestyle for people who want to look better and feel hotter without giving up all the awesome foods they love. >> have you noticed i've been poking into the kitchen all morning? i love flank steak. >> these are the key players. flank steak, avocados, tomorrow

t t tomatillos. i love a flank steak, it is a little bit leaner so you can eat more of it. >> you can slice it nice and thin. talk to me about marinating. >> we'll marinate it real quickly. pour these into the bowl. a little olive oil and lime juice. garlic and cumin. then just give this a little whisk. pour it right into a ziploc over your flank steak. if you are at home, we would zip that up, get as much air out as possible. swish it around. marinate that at room temperature. you don't have to put it in the fridge. leave it out for 20 minutes. >> how do you get the husks off these things? >> have you seen a tomatillo before? you can just peel this off with your hands. they sell them in most supermarkets now. it is a little sticky. you need to rinse these really, really well.

it is sort of a hybrid tomato with a little bit of citrus in it. >> we have our tasters downstairs. >> this is going to come down to the raiders defense, they've ranked 31st. >> okay, dude. >> should be a raiders win. >> we have some tomatillos sliced. under the broiler for four, five minutes a side. they come out a little shrunk be and charred. that brings out the flavor. then pop these into the food processor with -- then over here, dump this cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, salt. >> how long do you pulse that? >> it is going to be pretty quick actually. just let it go until it is nice and smooth like this. comes out looking like that. it is nice and creamy from the avocado. it is really high in antioxidants. >> now the fraflank steak has b

marinating. this is already seasoned with salt and pepper. put that right on the grill. that will cook for four or five minutes. >> how does this taste, guys? >> really great. >> the fries are terrific. >> so you sliced it up nice and thin. >> slice it up nice and thin. then just bring this over here. we serve it with the salsa. you can put this on a taco. oven baked fries so they're healthier. you have homemade sriracha there, ketchup kicked up with hot sauce. >> how are you voting for? denver or oakland? >> i'm going to have to go with denver. >> you just angered carson. >> second-best steak i've had in a long time. >> serena, thank you so much. great to see you. the recipes are on our website.

i got seasick one time on my tour bus going across the north sea in the bottom of a ship. i didn't wake up. they put my tour bus on the bottom of a ship in a thunderstorm. the bus drove on to the ship. everybody got off the bus, forgot i was in the back. i woke up in the belly of a slip in the thunderstorm. it was the weirdest thing. you can tell me about tiny house and i would not know until i woke up in rutherford. >> the band forgot you. >> pretty much. >> that's crazy. so we're back now. we had a fun time. i got to tell you -- listen, i was rooting for the indians. worked there for five years. but if anybody had to win the world series, so thrilled that the cubs did it. it was -- and we had this almost planes, trains and automobiles thing. we were in cleveland for the game seven, which was just insane. then had to fly to chicago. but we couldn't get in to chicago because the weather was bad so we landed in milwaukee. then drove -- >> drove to --

>> though we had fast drivers. then came home. but, man. it was unbelievable being out there hanging out. >> what was it like hanging with bill murray. >> bill was ahead of me one row. when you go to a game with bill murray, bill murray's there with everybody. he's handing out m & ms. he's letting you have some that video nachos. for example, i've never had this bourbon called fireball. >> you have? >> no, i don't drink but i know all about fireball. apparently apparently it is very good. >> it's a cinnamon infused -- >> look at you. >> then i had 108-year-old port at harry caray's. >> perspective for people at home, he's no hoda and kathie lee when it comes to drinking. >> no one is hoda and kathie lee when it comes to drinking. >> no. >> but you really don't drink.

this history of not winning. you had extra innings, and you had a rain delay. it was just -- we said, as long as it doesn't go into extra innings, the game will be okay. of course, it went into extra innings. >> these are awesome gifts. thank you so much! i love this. you have a hat clause or something? you didn't put your on. >> i love hats. i want to keep it pristine. >> you're one of those griz. >> guys. >> put that hat in your tiny house. >> no, i'm going to put it on ebay. >> you got this great thing going on. you're on "today's take." it's "harry's take." >> so people -- i'm so flattered that people ask me to sing my songs. i thought it would be nice on my show to sing songs that i've never sung before. thousands of people have sent in requests of me to sing songs other than mine from any era. we got so many requests from the

emily post etiquette rule that contradicts my thought, but here's the technique of it. you never walk into a building in front of a woman under any circumstances. so if there is a revolving door and i'm with jill, i start the movement of the door, i let jill go in first, and then i go after her. the only time i would ever go before her in a revolving door is if i'm going outside because it might be raining, you have to see what's going on. that is the only time. but if we're going into a building together, i'll get the motion started. it is an antiquated theory to assume that a woman doesn't have the strength to push the door open. >> so you're saying you push it, then i would slide in -- >> you don't have to slide. i make sure that you have enough room. i control the motion. >> as it were. >> as it were! >> what do you say? >> i say you both go in together. >> yeah! yes. >> okay. we did a story a couple years ago on the "today" show and the rule was that the man goes first. we reached out to emily post

institute which you knew. they said men traditionally enter a revolving door first if it wasn't moving. but women went first if it was already in motion. this is old etiquette. based on the notion -- >> that's right. it's antiquated. that's antiquated. the man needs to get it going. then the woman goes through. unless you're going outside. you never want to have the woman be the first person -- >> when you are walking with your wife on the street. you're on the outside. >> on the street side. >> why are you on the street side? >> because in the old days there was stuff in the gutters and stuff. the splashing. >> in the bed, do you sleep at the side of the bed closest to the door or do you put your wife closest to the door? >> this is a case where my wife -- anything she wants. so she wants -- wherever she wants to sleep, she's cool. how about walking up the stairs? i'm always behind you. coming down the steps, i'm always in front of you. >> i think guys should be in front of you walking down but not behind you walking up.
