overnight, samsung permanently discontinuing its note 7 phones. customers told to power down and return any of the devices, even the replacements -- immediately. how will the company recover from one of the most botched recalls in corporate history "today," tuesday, october 11th, 2016. >> 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 tuesday morning. four weeks from today, it will be tuesday, election day. >> if the next four weeks are anything like the last seven days, we're in for a bumpy ride. >> it is going to be a rocky one. this is the state of the race today. 28 days to go. donald trump once again going after hillary clinton over her e-mails. >> okay, here's one. just came out. "lock her up" is right. we are going to get a special

out. >> our newest polling shows clinton now up double digits among likely voters, 11 points in a four-way race. now that lead grows to 14 points in a head-to-head match-up. numbers there, 52%-38%. >> both candidates are in the battleground of florida today. trump holds a rally in panama city beach, while clinton will be heading to miami. she'll be joined on the trail for the first time by former vice president al gore. lots to get to. let's go to national correspondent peter alexander who is a few at trump tower this morning. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hey, matt and savannah, good morning. donald trump has significant ground to make up in this race and he has only four weeks to do it. last night the republican nominee showing no intention of backing off the pressure he's putting on both hillary and bill clinton. but right now he's also mired in a renewed showdown with members of his own party. in front of a packed house in pennsylvania, donald trump practicing scorched earth

than a trump rally, in all fairness? >> reporter: egging on his supporters who believe hillary clinton should be behind bars. >> "lock her up" is right. >> reporter: and without citing any evidence, warning the crowd the race might be rigged. >> we have to make sure that this election is not stolen from us and is not taken away from us. >> reporter: in the wake of trump's lewd comments about women in a new street journal" poll shows clinton opening up a double-digit lead. with nothing to do, the republican nominee now threatening more clinton attacks. >> if they wlant ant to release tapes saying inappropriate things, we'll continue to talk about bill and hillary clinton doing inappropriate things. >> reporter: in ohio late monday, clinton touting her own record crowd and unloading on trump. >> he is an equal opportunity insulter, if there ever was one. >> reporter: and challenging the

>> on the day that i was in the situation room, watching the raid that brought osama bin laden to justice, he was hosting "celebri "celebrity apprentice." so if he wants to talk about what we've been doing the last 30 years, bring it on! >> reporter: trump's defiance is also leaving many republicans between a rock and a hard place who wrote sticking with him or denouncing him could produce career-ended cog sequennsequenc. >> i might wright in lindsey graham. he is an old good friend of mine and a lot of people like him. >> reporter: north carolina senator richard burr is standing by trump. >> if we don't allow somebody to be forgiven, who's going to forgive us? >> reporter: but wisconsin senator ron johnson fending off challenger russ feingold is ripping a page from trump's playbook. >> i'm not going to defend donald trump's despicable words.

feingold with support hillary clinton's actions. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan on monday saying he won't defend trump or campaign for him, suggesting he doesn't think trump can win the white house. trump on twitter dem strafting his disapproval, saying ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration, and not waste his time on fighting the republican nominee. with just four weeks to go, trump pausing to show his softer side. >> do you want to go back to them or do you want to stay donald trump? >> trump. >> reporter: throughout the course of this campaign, donald trump is repeatedly touted that the evangelicals love him. but this morning there is a powerful editorial in "christianity today," a mainstream evangelical magazine that calls on evangelicals not to it be silent on what it describes as trump's blatant immorality. in part, "he wantonly celebrates strongmen and takes every opportunity to humiliate and

he shows no curiosity or capacity to learn. he is, in short, the very embodiment of what the bible calls a fool." matt and savannah, i just reached out to the campaign for any response to that new editorial and haven't yet heard back. >> all right, peter alexander with the very latest this morning, thank you. got steve kornacki in the a the monitor here for us now. i guess the headline of the numbers you are about to show us, what a difference a month and what. a difference a tape with make. >> obviously the 14-point lead, that's double what you saw a month ago. i think we blew a gasket on the screen. the big question is what does this mean for the race for 270. you see how close hillary clinton already is to 270. if you're donald trump, here's what's essential for you to turn this thing around. first of all, start in the state of north carolina. this was a rom in i state four years ago. he needs all the romney states as his base. if he can't get north carolina, he's not going to get to 270. if you could get carolina, that's a start.

29 electoral votes. he has fallen behind in florida in the last couple weeks. again, that is not even taking into account any damage from this tape. he is going to have to find a way to win florida. next most important, ohio. this is a state where he had the lead basically through september. started to slip. again, did the tape make the situation worse? got to get ohio. would need to get iowa. would need to get there are some indications of slippage there. we have new hampshire as a to toss-up right now. if he could get new hampshire, that would just get him to 270. pennsylvania, colorado is more of a reach. he needs everything to break his way down the stretch. >> because it is a challenging map to start with. we've seen what's been happening in congress. house republicans particularly in turmoil over what to do and how to respond to trump. you've got a figure from our

that is. >> keep in mind, this poll is basically taken at the height of the controversy over the weekend over the tape. but look at this. who do you want to be to control congress? democrats or republicans? it's 49%-42% over the weekend. the significance here, a seven-point advantage for democrats. biggest advantage they've had since the government shutdown in 2013. >> a month ago it was three months. >> join us. we've got mark halperin. paul ryan is almost like saying i'm going to concede t saving the house. >> because paul ryan sees the real prospect of not just a president clinton, a speaker pelosi, senator majority leader, chuck schumer, a democrat from new york, and he cares about the policies that would be enacted. paul ryan does not object to donald trump because he is an outsider or because he is brash. he objects to donald trump because he thinks he's going to lose and because he doesn't believe that he's morally fit to

does not relish challenging his party's nominee but he does not want to see liberal policies enacted. >> let's talk about donald trump and his approach right now. since late august for a few weeks there, he was gaining ground in the polls. and it is actually emblematic. it used to be people at his rallies would say "lock her up." he'd say, no, no, don't lock her up, let's vote. he's all in with "lock her up" right now. does that suggest this is a new phase or a return to the old donald trump that we saw in the short term after the tape was released friday, to survive. the best way to survive is go to your base. that's one-third of the country and nowhere near enough to win. but you've seized on the thing that's emblematic of what he's doing right now. not trying to tell the majority of the country, "here's what i'd do as president," but simply to rally the people who hate the clintons. >> he's counting on the fact that there are a significant number of people out there who

who say i'm not going to vote for the republican candidate for president but i'm going to go down the ballot and i'm going to vote republican for these house seats. what does history tell us about those voters? >> history tells us we've started to live in a new era in the last decade. the last generation or so. it used to be easy for voters to do that. they'd vote for reagan, and vote for democrats for congress. that's been happening less and less and less. if you're paul ryan, if you're a republican and thinking that way, you're hoping that this idea that donald trump is the exception to every rule we know about aca to that congressional ballot. >> mark, we have been talking about our polls. steve knows it well. you have an 11-point -- in a four-point race, you have an 11-point gap between these two. these polls have been volatile, this is just one poll. i assume we'll see many more. is there a legitimate and realistic chance for trump to make up that kind of ground in four weeks? >> he'd have to win that third debate, have some more mistakes on the part of hillary clinton.

clintons' personal life. he had a tough rap before the videotape was released. he still has a very tough route. he needs no margin of error to win every state that's in play. then he still barely gets there. >> briefly, briefly to both of you. i was watching the debate sunday night. you know what i kept thinking? what are we in for over the next four years? no matter who wins, each of these candidates represents the very worst fear of the other party. so come january, february, march, what are facing? >> i look at it this way. if hillary clinton wins, republicans already think she's weak and they will think it is essentially a fluke. hey, she was faced with one candidate she could possibly beat. i think republicans would go into her presidency smelling weakness. >> there is every reason to be pessimistic -- except paul ryan and some senate democrats share an agenda, tax reform, infrastructure. there is a possibility that out of the rubble of this result we'll see some real activity next year and get the country back on track. >> we can only hope.

want to go now to the catastrophic flooding from hurricane matthew. it is taking parts of the south by storm. this morning, the waters are still rising in cities and towns near the north carolina coast. thousands of people already rescued, still others trapped. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer is in lumberton, that's just south of fayetteville, a city which is under water. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: matt, good blanc. the widespread flooding here was triggered by matthew when more in this area. all of that rain then poured into creeks and rivers and into low-lying communities, and it is only getting worse. as the town of lumberton filled with water, desperate neighbors fled any way they could. 1,500 needed rescue. the coast guard, the national guard, and fema have all arrived. >> there is a significant problem here, without a doubt. >> reporter: thousands of homes

overnight, evacuation centers were brimming. >> what do you do now? >> i don't know. wait. i don't know what to do. >> reporter: with no count on the missing, there is little sign of relief. floodwaters are rising and the death toll from matthew could also climb. >> i think they were surprised by the rate that the water came up and the force of the water, the moving water is relentless. >> reporter: this morning, lumberton has been declared a disaster. but officials warn, it be the last place to flood. many rivers are still rising and a string of communities could be next. >> we got change of clothes. everything else is gone. >> reporter: back in these waters later today, the coast guard will be checking to see if there were any fatalities. the death toll stands at at least 30. matt, i-95 is still a mess. travel is going to be treacherous for days. >> miguel almaguer, thank you very much. some tough talk this morning

in an interview for yahoo! with katie couric, ginsburg did not pull any punches when asked about athletes who have recently protested the national anthem. >> would i arrest them for doing it? no. i think it's dumb and disrespectful. the same -- have the same answer if you ask me about flag burning. i think it is a terrible thing to do, but i wouldn't lock a person up. >> ginsburg also said that athletes suc quarterback colin kaepernick are within their rights but called the protests arrogant. at least five people were hit, one woman was hospitalized after a pick-up truck drove into a group of protesters in reno, nevada last night. the entire incident was caught on camera. the group was protesting the observance of columbus day. demonstrators had gathered in the intersection under the reno arch when two men in a truck pulled up. the two sides exchanged heated words, then the truck drove

one woman suffered non-life threatening injuries. the driver is said to be cooperating with police. no charges have been filed. a 4-year-old florida girl who police say was kidnapped by a family friend is safe this morning bringing a five-state manhunt to an end. a police officer rushed rebecca lewis into a building after memphis police rescued her on monday. a hospital worker had recognized the little girl and her alleged kidnapper, a 31-year-old man named memphis police stopped hogs' car as he left the hospital. investigators say there is no indication that the little girl was harmed. meanwhile, the suspect is being questioned by police and by the fbi. portland, oregon man is recovering this morning after a rare shark attack off the coast. the 29-year-old was surfing when he was attacked monday afternoon. the shark bit him in the thigh and lower leg. he was airlifted to a portland hospital with serious injuries. the surfer says he thinks it may

according to a research group, there have only been 25 shark attack off the oregon coast in the last 116 years. from the world of sports, boston red sox slugger david ortiz didn't want it to end, but with his team eliminated from the playoffs by the cleveland indians last night, ortiz returned to the field at fenway park to say good-bye to the fans. the celebrated career for the man known as big poppy after 20 seasons. 14 of those in boston. ortiz tipped his hat in all directions, tapping his heart, and eventually wiping tears from his eyes. >> i don't know if boston sports fan dylan dreyer is going to be able to go through the weather after that. >> it was a rough night. watching him tear up, of course gets you choked up. but it's been so nice this season to see all the different teams give him a nice send-off. >> even teams that have booed him over the years all recognize

season. >> he is a great player. bummed about the red sox though. moving on to the weather where we still have major flooding in most of the rivers across eastern north carolina. we are especially focused on the lumber river in lumberton, north carolina which, look at this. here is major flooding. it is going to take until sunday morning before we start to see that river level go below major flooding. that's why it is going to be a concern all week long. the good news is there is no additional rain in the forecast for the east c that river can continue to recede. we also have coastal flood warnings with this onshore floor. remnants of matthew still producing residual flooding, also some rip currents. elsewhere across the country, things are really quiet. this cold front could trigger a storm or two, and a little bit chilly across the northern plains. temperatures will be 25 degrees below average. that's a look at

that bombshell audio clip of donald trump talking about her in 2005 during a taping "access hollywood," a program owned by nbc universal. >> nancy -- no, this was -- i moved on her very heavily. i moved on her like a [ bleep ]. but i couldn't get there. and she was married. all of a sudden i see her, she's now got the big phony [ bleep ] and everything. >> there is no room for objectification of women, or anyone for that matter, even in the locker room. the conversation deserves respect. no matter the gender or setting. >> reporter: now the hunt for more hot mike moments intensifying.

speaking out publicly for the first time since that '05 audio surfaced. on wfan radio just this morning -- >> that kind of talk and conversation, even in private, is just unacceptable. i made that very clear to donald on friday when this first came out. and urged him to be contrite and apologetic because that's what he needs to be. but i think that he should have been much more direct and much saying i'm sorry and only "i'm sorry." >> reporter: christie added he was really upset about what he heard but this election is about bigger issues. >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. coming up next, this came out of the debate. the ken bone phenomenon. you already remember him with the red sweater at the debate. carson explains why this is

they're 6-0 this season. that should be celebrated, right? big accomplishment. some, though, think the team should be boycotted. they've only actually played three games, but they're 6-0. it's because the players on their team are so big that other teams in the league are simply forfeiting. they're not even showing up for the game. the archbishop murphy wildcats have nine players over 250 pounds, and parents of players on other teams are worried that seriously injured while playing them. wildcats coach says his guys just want to play football and it's not fair for other teams to duck out. for the record, the wildcats have outscored their opponents this season 170-0. you think that's fair that they just don't play them? >> no, i think they should play. >> if you are worried about really getting hurt --

college students. a fascinating story yesterday. what do you have today? >> a really big problem today, not necessarily a new one but it has some new twists. if you think of high-profile scandals on campus, there is probably one factor in common. you might be saying to yourself, i've heard this before, maybe i've lived it. kids drink on campus. not a big surprise. but as i said, there are new twists. we'll give you a look at them. from the way students are drinking to how schools are now intervening. party near arizona state university, a 17-year-old chugging a bottle of straight vodka. he tells us he was okay afterwards and that he did it on a $5 bet. >> it's like russian roulette with a firearm. drinking a whole bottle of vodka is equivalent of close to 17 drinks. that produces a blood alcohol level that pushes you very close to the lethal dose where it would kill half the population.

reduce or address these problems, something else comes up. >> reporter: the latest so-called fix, those alcohol bans. but while the list of schools with bans is growing, it is not clear yet if they're effective. do these college alcohol bans work? >> the truth is we really don't know. >> i was an ra who wrote up plenty of people who were drinking in the dorms. i don't think it did anything. >> for me, it was like i'm going to do it somewhere else. >> i don't remember ever going into like what happensf drink? it was just don't drink when i was growing up. >> is there a risk these bans can just push the problem underground? >> it certainly is. colleges should be cautious before they just hit the ban button. >> if you tell someone they can't do something, they're going to do it. they're going to find a way to do it. it can end up being just a horrible tragedy. >> the experts we spoke with say it is not that alcohol bans are a bad idea per se, they just have to be part of a larger,

effort to educate students about drinking. the students we spoke with agree. that's their sentiment here. >> they say it keeps changing and every time we come up with a remedy, it changes. that's why the core issue of the root problem is what needs to be addressed. >> everyone wants a quick fix. you saw last week with the answer to sexual assaults, it is not a quick fix. >> three kids, one of them getting close to this age. it is terrifying. >> this whole series is giving pas but just open conversation is the answer to so many of these subjects. i'll see you tomorrow on a particularly painful and slo explosive segment. we have all these moms outside with their painted bellies. it is all for a really good cause. more about that in a minute. and guy fieri is making a

is it. >> hey, meredith. good morning. >> good morning. >> start with the look of it. because i think that's going to catch some people off-guard. >> the animation. it caught me off guard when my associate came to me and said there is this amazing filmmaker and he wants to tell the story of what happened at the first mass shooting on an american campus using animation. i said that's nuts. why would you use animation? she said trust me, it will work. it is so effective. >> it draws you in. >> that's right. it. a lot of people are not going to be familiar with this story, even though it is talked about as the first mass school shooting in this country. 1966. >> 50 years ago. >> what did we learn about what's going on today by looking back? >> you know, it is interesting. the filmmaker here, the reason he wanted to tell this story, he's from austin. he never learned about it. it is at if this happened, it was horrific, and then everybody wanted to forget. and he wanted to focus on the

talk about the victims, the police, the students and the heroes. hopefully to open up a dialogue. because the sad thing now is that these are so commonplace that they're horrific, but we're almost used to it. and we need to talk. >> what was interesting is that some of the people you -- or lot of the people you deal with in this story had never stayed in contact -- >> none of them. >> -- since and now they're kind of reconnecting and understanding how this has impacted all of them. >> yeah. for them, it's been very cathartic. and also you'll see -- because you meet these people 50 years later. this is still with them. it still haunts them. so for them to finally connect and be able to talk about it was healing for them. that's the whole idea behind the flic film. that if we can talk about what's going on because it is going on on a regular basis in this country, maybe we can begin to solve this problem.

that you were involved in this because i remember all too well we covered together -- we went down to virginia tech in the wake of the mass shooting there. and i remember on the plane on the way back and in the car when we were driving around there how much it impacted both of us. but it stuck with you as well. >> it definitely stuck with me, especially there was a candlelight vigil. i remember being with the students and one of the students coming up to me and saying, can i just -- will you just hold me? because their parents weren't there to be with them at such a that to this day i think about that. >> i think we should mention that the documentary does not take a political point of view. >> no, none. >> this isn't a gun control or gun rights message. >> not at all. >> what do you want people to take away? >> i want people to go see it and don't go alone. go with somebody else. to tweet to me, #towertogether what they thought about it. did it start a dialogue? what we really want to do is start a conversation through

pro gun or anti-gun. it is really about honoring these people, seeing what has happened in the course of 50 years, not only to them but in this country. and hopefully, together we can maybe change the craziness that's happening. >> i hope people do go see it. it is called "tower" and it is in select theaters. great to see you. coming up, justin timberlake opens up about his rise to the top and how being a dad has changed him. but first, this is "today"

>> let me see you clap! >> reporter: justin timberlake's 2020 experience world tour in 2014 was one of the highest grossing of the last decade. if you weren't able to get a ticket to the show, netflix has one for you now. ? >> reporter: timberlake collaborated with academy award winning director jonathan demmey to capture the last day of his world tour for a new film, "justin timberlake and the tennessee kids." i sat down with justin at the toronto film festival the morning after the premier, and the superstar confessed to some nerves. >> kwl yyou said you were as ne to show this than anything you've done. why? >> well, you're always nervous to go to a premier. but i think just the added value of this isn't hiding behind a character, so to speak. it is just that moment where

>> but i think people would say this is what you do. this is justin timberlake, so this is easy for him. >> of course. of course. but, there is a little something more personal about the way jonathan captured us. i feel really proud that the people that i shared the stage with, that they're so important to me and they're every bit the star of this movie. >> jonathan calls you a funky frank sinatra. >> he said that? >> he said that. >> okay. >> he said >> sinatra could dance. >> but i'm looking at you up there in your tuxedo working with john than demmey and thinking how far you've come since you burst on the scene in your early days. do you stop at think at moments like this, man, look at the journey? >> yeah, man, every day. i mean -- yeah. every day. while it's happening. now more so than ever, while it is actually happening. because the moment and all of

is like the best part. you know? that's going to be the part you remember the most. >> reporter: even more than the music, timberlake is savoring being a dad to his son with wife jessica beale. >> are you finding as you write new music, justin, that having a 16, 17-month-old at home changes the way you look at music? >> it changes everything. you literally are just like -- wake up, look in the mirror and go, i hav doing. >> that's right. >> yeah. it changes everything. i would have never written a song like "can't stop the feeling." ? can't stop the feeling ? ? so just dance dance dance ? >> i don't know that it was directly inspired to be something that my son could listen to of mine, because there is a lot of music he can't listen to of mine. at least not yet. you are being looking at me, but, oh, yeah, just wait.

>> we'll talk when the camera's not rolling. it gets way worse. >> i'm sure. it is crazy, this new appreciation for both of them, her and him. it is humiliating and it is humbling at the same time. >> it's when you realize your wife is a super human and has a gear you didn't know she had. >> oh, my gosh. you watch her realize she has a gear she didn't have. then you go, whoa. yeah. >> cool. >> yeah. >> ready to kick in that gear again? >> how many gears do you have, she's really going to discover. >> dylan's like, i'm automatic. >> so great to see him like that. i've known him since he was literally 15 years old, bursting on to the scene, like you talked about. now seeing him as a proud father. i've spent some time with him on the golf course. >> it is funny to see him nervous at all ba somethiabout like that? >> hoda was saying she doesn't generally love concert movies. i like them because when you are

when a director captures it, you see things you never got to see. >> especially when they are putting on such a big show. we see it with beyonce, with bruno mars. with justin. he's saying, it is not just me. it is the 30 other people on the stage. >> i remember scorsese did the stones and you get to see what keith is doing while mick is -- yeah. >> you sure you weren't at oldchella? >> the thought did cross my >> i'm so glad you said that. justin timberlake and the tennessee kids premiers on netflix tomorrow. just ahead, why the woman who brought us spanx is now celebrating the bump. but first, this is "today" on

proud moms to be here. don't they look so good? they are showing off their bellies with some beautiful artwork. it all started when one very special baby bump and one woman's big idea. the woman who made a fortune flattening women's bellies is now celebrating the bump in a big way and for a good cause. sara blakely is the entrepreneur behind the now legendary multi-million dollar brand, spanx. she's also a mom, and the force behind the collection of whimsical portraits of nomoms to be. >> i think mothers need mothers. i think that's sort of the most important thing about the work that we're doing. every mother counts is dedicated to making pregnancy and child birth safe for every mother, everywhere. >> blakely gathered some famous faces and big bellies to give her project life.

>> i think women should back women. i love leaning in instead of leaning out and really supporting one another. >> it is such a short amount of time that you get the baby in your belly that you kind of have to celebrate it. >> i think it's up to the women to change the world. so we need to support them. >> reporter: and even i joined in on the fun. again, the book is called "the belly art project." it is out today. sara blakely, good >> not only are you the author of this book, you are the first model for the book. how did this idea come about? >> literally three days before i delivered my son in the middle of the night. i got the idea i wanted to turn my belly into objects and celebrate pregnancy in a really playful way. i wrote down watermelon, beach ball, basketball and mr. potato head. and the next day i ran around

to the watermelon display. seven and a half years later and over 100 more women from around the world, i'm launching the belly art project book. talk about a labor of love. >> it is such a fun book. i have to give a shout out to our gorgeous moms who have come out here and posed for us. with their big, beautiful bellies. they look so good. i love the book. it is kind irreverent a fun, but it is also for a great cause. >> it is a great cause. i believe philanthropy can be fun and everyone can participate. painting a belly can be a way to show your support for maternal health, which is really important. i mean every two women pass away every minute from child birth, and 98% of them are preventable. this book, 100% of the proceeds are going to help moms in need. i'm hoping you'll buy the book as a beautiful coffee table book, but also as a present for

bellies at showers. >> yeah, exactly. you could get a whole online thing going. i got to do it. this was so fun. you were my stylist. you were there, right there. but you didn't really have to convince me because i saw some of the pictures. but was it hard at first to get moms on board? because it is hard to be exposed like that. >> it was very interesting. once i decided to include other women, how do you approach women with this? i literally -- half of the women in the book are friends. some are friends of friends but a stopped in nail salons, airports and other people's weddings. >> i love it. you had to be 8 or 9 months pregnant to be in the book. >> yes. we also are selling a belly painting kit. >> awesome! >> for $39.99. the book is $29.99. >> love it. >> i'm so excited about it. i also just joined social media for the first time ever. i'm like the last one on the planet. >> you're kidding! >> but i'm on instagram to support the cause.
