presidential election. >> there is a new bloomberg politics poll out this morning showing hillary clinton with a 39-35% lead among independent likely voters. it was taken after friday's announcement about those newly discovered e-mails. donald trump makes three stops in battleground florida today, a must-win for him. hillary clinton holds rallies isn't arizona and nevada, and her surrogates are once again keeping busy. president obama, vice president joe biden, senator bernie sanders and senator elizabeth around the country for clinton today. >> of course we've got it all covered starting with nbc national correspondent peter alexander on the campaign trail in pensacola, florida. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hey, matt and savannah, good morning to you both. both candidates today trying to sharpen their closing arguments. donald trump in what really is a must-win state of florida trying to chip away at hillary clinton's advantage, as clinton heads out west trying to shore

republican stronghold in arizona. hillary clinton, fed up and fired up. >> i am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive, dangerous vision and behavior of people who support donald trump. >> reporter: going after a protester heckling her in florida late tuesday, accusing her husband, bill clinton, of sexual impropriety. it comes as the candidate is trying to energize a critical part of her base, women voters, inviting former alicia machado, to highlight trump's history of insults. >> he said to me miss piggy, miss housekeeping, miss eating machine. >> who acts like this? i tell you who, a bully, that's who. >> reporter: trump in wisconsin making an unusual pitch to democrats who have already cast early votes for clinton. >> wisconsin is one of several states where you can change your early ballot if you think you've

since you voted. you can change your vote to donald trump, we'll make america great again, okay? >> reporter: earlier in pennsylvania, targeting obamacare. >> i will ask congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace. >> reporter: six days to go, a record-setting 26 million votes already cast. nearly twice as many early votes as this time four years ago. the candidates launching a war on the air waves. trump is pouring $25 million into ads almost all of them won by president obama in 2012. clinton is trying to secure her advantage in states once considered safe. back on tv in colorado and virginia where democrats worry her lead may be eroding. while trump relies on his single best ally, running mate mike pence, clinton is sending her surplus of surrogates to key state. president obama scoffing at the idea of trump as a working class champion.

cleaning the room, wouldn't let you onto one of his golf courses unless you were mowing the fairway. come on. >> reporter: overnight the trump campaign fiercely rejected the backing of the official newspaper for the kkk that supports trump. the campaign putting out a statement that reads mr. trump and the campaign denounces hate in any form. this publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of americans who are uniti our campaign. matt and savannah. >> peter, thank you very much. >> nicolle wallace and steve kornacki are with us as promised yesterday. good morning, guys. steve, i'm going to start with you this morning. if you look at where this onslaught of money from the democrats is coming right now, it's going into those firewall solid blue states supposedly, wisconsin, michigan, colorado, virginia. does this signal jitters on the part of the clinton campaign? >> it's really interesting, states we have not been talking about all campaign suddenly in

let me take you through what the strategy probably is. what the clinton campaign is looking at is basically if, if there is some sort of doom's day scenario where this fbi thing, there's a reaction that moves against her in the last week and if she starts losing all of the toss-up states on the map. and again, this is a huge if. there's a lot of reasons to think clinton can still pull out wins in a lot of these states. but if it all breaks against her in the toss-up states, you see what this would mean. donald trump would then and so what the clinton campaign is thinking is let's prevent him from getting, if all else fails, that one state. so what are they doing? they're in michigan with ads, they're in colorado with ads, they are in new mexico with ads, they are in virginia with ads. their super pac is in wisconsin with ads. how about this, hillary clinton now on friday, she is going to be going into michigan. she is going to be going into detroit. they're going to try to get the african-american vote out in detroit in bigger numbers.

blue states and you're still safe. >> and she has the resources to spend that money. nicolle, yesterday you said the campaign is basically over tomorrow. that that's when it has to be over. >> from a messaging standpoint. >> so that means today and tomorrow the campaigns make their closing arguments. >> and i said that because what's supposed to happen after about thursday's news cycle is that you take that closing message and you drill it down and you turn out you closing message? >> well, her closing message seems to be let's turn this back to donald trump. you heard her in peter's piece talking about staging an intervention. she's trying to make him unacceptable. all of her high water marks in this campaign has been when she is on the offense with a disqualifying comment from donald trump. he has given her all of her offensive arguments, whether it was going after a gold star family, whether it was going after the weight of a former

all of his disqualifying comments, of which there are many. but i have to say he's also found a very strong closing argument with obamacare and a change message. >> steve, let's talk about where trump is spending his money and his time. the polls are showing a much closer race, so he loves the polls again. does it make sense where he's going? i think he's got three stops in florida today. >> florida today, although yesterday where was he? he was in one of those blue states we were talking about, he was in wisconsin. wisconsin is one of those states where if you have c change your vote. he's actually talking about that right now. actually i think one of the things i am looking for today, this whole question of a last-minute blue state strategy for trump, we're going to get the gold standard poll out of the state of wisconsin. it's going to come out early this afternoon. i am very curious to see since that fbi development, this is one of those states if we get a poll out of there today that says this thing is suddenly a dogfight, that's what the trump campaign is looking for in the final week. that's what the clinton campaign

>> yep. >> they will acknowledge that all of those blou states look really tough for them. the one where they feel the best, they're down two, and that would be new hampshire. so that would be the manmanna f heaven if they're close or ahead. >> paul ryan did an interview and he was talking about casting his ballot early and he said that he was supporting or he had supported the entire republican ticket and never mentioned the name donald tr biggest story after election day. should donald trump win or lose frankly. the spotlight will be on paul ryan and what was always a very uncomfortable relationship between paul ryan and donald trump. there are a lot of republicans already asking questions about whether that weakens his speakership. some even suggesting that it may threaten his speakership. so for my side of the aisle, for my half of the country, all eyes

>> thanks, guys, appreciate it. breaking news overnight. two police officers shot and killed in des moines, iowa, in ambush-style attacks. a manhunt for at least one suspect is now under way. early this morning, police responded to a report of shots fired. they found an officer from the suburb of urbandale shot dead in his patrol car. about two miles away, another officer from des moines also found shot dead in his car. officers are now doing patrols in p themselves. there is some new information this morning on the search for malaysian airlines flight 370. it's been missing two and a half years now. australian investigators looking at pieces of the plane wreckage that have washed ashore now say the evidence suggests the plane did not go into the water gently when it finally went down. nbc's tom costello covers aviation. tom, that's intriguing. what does it mean? >> reporter: good morning. 239 people were on board the

beiji beijing. investigators believe everyone died when the plane went down in the southern indian ocean. this morning the australian transportation safety board is saying analysis of two wing flaps that have washed ashore indicate they were not in a landing position when the plane hit the water. the satellite data suggests the plane went down at a high and increasing rate of descent, most likely out of control. it is very unlikely anyone would have survived the impact. all along, the working theory has been that the plane was intentionally flown southern indian ocean, perhaps by one of the pilots. this evidence does not tell us whether anybody would have been alive when the plane finally went into the water, it only tells us that if the pilot was still alive, he probably did not try to set the plane down gently. search teams have now scoured 46,000 square miles of ocean looking for the fuselage. so far nothing. the seven confirmed pieces that they have found have been recovered thousands of miles to the west where they washed ashore.

sometime late this year or early 2017. guys. >> all right, tom costello, thank you so much. authorities in oklahoma have released dramatic video of the police shootout that killed double murder suspect michael vance on sunday night. >> i want to shut the road down. i'm going to take shots. i'm going to shut the road down and take shots. >> dozens of high-powered rifle shots were exchanged as three oklahoma state troopers chased that suspect down a highway. he was wanted police officers on october 23rd. video from a patrol helicopter shows vance plowing through a roadblock and then speeding away. later vance stops and gets out of his truck, more gunfire exchanged. eventually he was shot and killed by police. taking a big turn now, as we said earlier, it all comes down to one final game in the world series. the chicago cubs hammered cleveland last night to force

championship drought is about to be over. for the other, another year ending in heartbreak. nbc's ron malt ott is in clevel. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this is not the outcome the folks here wanted to seechlt but not too many long faces. you guys are still excited, right? so they had to postpone the big celebration they had planned last night and now it's down to one more game to discover whether it's indians fans or cubs fans that will see come true. there's no tomorrow, only tonight. >> and a big night for the heart of this chicago lineup. >> reporter: game seven of the world series, the victors destined to spoil part of the loser's winter, a harsh cold reminder the difference a few innings can make. the chicago cubs, backs against the wall heading into game six in cleveland, stunned the home crowd right off the bat. >> high fly ball in the air to left. cubs strike first!

in the first and then four more with a grand slam in the third. >> high fly ball to left center. at the wall, grand slam! >> reporter: delaying gratification for the indians another night, if not another year. >> i wanted to win. that's what i would want. but we lost, but we'll get them again. >> reporter: despite a plea from cleveland's superfan, hometown faves never recovered from the cubs' quick start and now find themselves in a winner take all jam. not even the presence of eddie robinson could reverse cleveland's fortunes last night. >> the two longest world series droughts, one of these will come to an end. >> reporter: and now with everything up for grabs, the indians' hopes ride on the arm

who's been brilliant. the cubs calling on kyle hendrix. two pitchers, one in line to be world series series, the other, perhaps, the goat. as any world series fan will tell you, we have plenty of the latter. >> we have 27 more outs. this is so exciting. but we're one step away. >> reporter: there is nothing like the spectacle of a game seven in sports. it is gut-wrenching for fans and certainly for the players. here in cleveland and in chicago as well. guys, back to you. >> all right, ron, thanks very much. i know you're planning to be sound asleep when this is played but i will be calling you when it's over. >> that's right, i'll put my ringer on mute. al is in cleveland. he had prime seats for last night's game. so exciting. was it everything you hoped, other than i know your team didn't win. >> well, other than that it was a spectacular game.

that is one brave lady, but i tell you, last night was spectacular. perfect night for baseball. 74 degrees first pitch. i was out on the field at progressive field. i got to do some snapchatting and facebook living. we had a great time there. and then talk about your bonus, one of my seatmates, bill murray. unbelievable. bill murray was there, mr. chicago cubs himself, and he made one fan's dream come true. as he was coming in the stadium, this young woman was standing out there waiting for tickets, hoping somebody -- and he gave her one of his tickets, brought her in. she sat next to him. she's from indiana. and it was a great time. we're going to show that a little bit later. later in our 9:00, guys, bill murray as hairdresser. it's one of the most bizarre moments at a baseball game, it's really cool. let's give you the weather

you should see a movie that she made called "20th century women." she's very, very good. >> do you think in some ways, warren, your marriage, was it 25 years now? >> mm-hmm. >> do you think you surprised a lot of people in hollywood, that people expected it to go the way of some other high-profile hollywood marriages? >> it didn't really surprise me. i always felt that -- i wasn't trying to avoid marriage, i was trying to avoid divorce. i had no doubt when i annette that it was time to get married. >> what makes it work? what's made it work for 25 years? >> respect. >> i read somewhere where you said that it's hard enough for children to grow up with one famous parent. >> that's right. >> and you are two wildly famous parents. >> it is a burden, i think, to

we've commissioned a survey that shows 6 in 10 have not talked about prostate cancer screenings with their doctors. that is not a good thing. dr. oz is here hopefully to change those numbers. also coming up supermodel gigi hadid is here. if you haven't seen her on magazine covers and runway, maybe you've seen her on instagram because that girl owns it. >> she's so sweet and beautiful. i walked over and said i really feel like standing next to supermodel right now. she's adorable. also coming up, we've got a thanksgiving match made in heaven in our kitchen. martha stewart and chef john are here teaming up for the ultimate feast. >> first let's send it back to al for a check of the weather in cleveland. hey, al. >> hey, guys, here at the winking lizard brew pub and having a great time, although these kids are not having any alcoholic beverages. it's nothing but milk and soda

again, we're talking about if the game goes into late late innings tonight for game seven, we could see some showers. otherwise it's going to be a nice night. cloudy skies. oh, that was yesterday's forecast. anyway, we're looking at some showers and 70 degrees. now, for today record warmth through the southeast, gulf coast. we're looking at some stronger storms. those storms in illinois will make their way into ohio in the northeast later on. in fact tomorrow you can see wet england. record highs down through the gulf. unseasonably mild through the plains and a flood threat with heavy showers and thunderstorms from texas into the southwest. . >> chris: good wednesday morning, everyone. a milder start. mix of sun an clouds throughout the day. a mild day overall with temperatures surging into the mid to upper 60s. quite the enjoyable afternoon. comfortable evening ahead of us tonight as we stay mild. a couple showers to track on thursday. maybe a spotlight on southern

and west of 495 by mid-afternoon, and then even into the boston area, by late day into the even hours. on 7 forecast, dropping the temperatures back by the if the indians win tonight, school -- no school for anybody. all right. official school day off. only kidding. matt. >> all right, al, thank you very much. campaign. as the stubble continues to take hold here in studio 1a, we partnered up with dr. mehmet oz for a closer look at big health issues facing men. this morning we're focusing on prostate cancer and the debate over screening and treatments. take a look. >> hi, i'm clark howard. >> for nearly a decade, clark howard has been living with prostate cancer. this radio dj consulted with his

that means that because his cancer is slow growing, he opted to monitor it closely rather than have surgery or radiation. the prostate is a walnut-sized reproductive gland found only in men. more than 180,000 american men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. more than 26,000 will die from the disease. besides a rectal exam by your doctor, historically the only screening for prostate cancer is a prostate specific test, usually known as a psa test. it's a simple blood test that measures a specific protein produced by the prostate. if the psa level is elevated, it could indicate the patient has prostate cancer. active director ben stiller recently credited a psa screening for saving his life. >> i learned that i was someone that had a case that could be treated. there are a lot of people that can't. >> because it's too late. >> because they discover it too

watched his psa level rise over a year and a half before sending him on for ultimate testing. ultimately he had surgery to remove the cancer and says he is now cancer-free, but treatments vary. a landmark study published in the "new england journal of medicine" followed more than 1600 men with diagnosed prostate cancer. the men fell into three groups, those who had surgery, those who had radiotherapy and those who actively monitored their cancer. after ten years, researc death rates between the groups. >> this study shows that there were serious side effects of treatment in terms of sexual, bowel and urinary function, but there were side effects on the men on active surveillance too, because the risk is the tumor will grow. >> for clark, active monitoring was the right choice. >> that i'm sitting there just watching it drives people crazy. but i think i'm crazy like a fox. i think what i've done is the

>> dr. oz joins us now live in the studio. good to see you. i was shocked by the numbers, over 180,000 cases will be diagnosed this year, 26,000 men will die of it. this needs attention. >> well, it's common cancer. men are confused. in our big sur va that we did together, we found that 54% of men don't know what a psa test is and 61% want the test. the confusion is in part caused because people don't understand in the medical community how powerful this test is. >> so what's your recommendation, who should get the psa exam and at what age should they start? >> the reason the u.s. government and major medical groups don't get along on this is because people think you'll overtreat the psa. if you're thoughtful about it and don't get rushed into doing procedures on yourself, then middle-aged men it makes sense. if you're african-american or if you have a family history, that

should think about it. here's the thing, most men think the psa test will tell you if you've got aggressive cancer or some type of cancer, not true. 75% of the time it's going to be a false positive. so don't get biopsied and aggressively treated because the psa doesn't tell you that. >> you're in a doctor's office. the doctor walks in and says, mr. lauer, i have bad news, you have a psa of x level, you have prostate cancer. what is the first thing you want men to do or not do? >> let me blow your mind with this. survey we did together. 79% of men think that if they have prostate cancer and don't have surgery, they will die. that is completely wrong. that is not what happens at all. in fact this is changing the paradigm of how we treat all cancers. most men with active surveillance don't pay a penalty. even lifetime change can make a difference so don't think of it as something that you have to get out of your body immediately. ben stiller very wise, he waited 18 months before he went ahead more aggressively.

hands but do not get roped into getting biopsies and other invasive procedures. active monitoring is probably the better way to go. >> all right, doc, thanks very much. we appreciate it. coming up next, supermodel and social media sensation gigi hadid. but first, this is "today" on nbc. dunkin's sweet black pepper bacon sandwich is back with twice the crispy, caramelized peppered bacon. experience a breakfast sandwich made for bacon lovers. america runs on dunkin'. hillary clinton: i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. vo: in times of crisis america depends on steady leadership. donald trump: "knock the crap out of them, would you?

i i think that if you really touch someone on a personal level, they'll be the ones fighting for you the next day at a meeting or pushing for you in a campaign and that's something i try to stick to. >> you have probably learned by now that not everything written about you is true. she's still nice, responsible and respectful. is that true? >> i mean that's what i do make a conscious effort to do that, so i hope so. >> savannah walked she's so nice, she really is. >> thank you. >> you hang out with some pretty cool people. what was halloween like? >> halloween was really cool. we were all working, so my friend had just a little like girls night at her house. >> just a flend general? >> taylor. we had like chips and guacamole and pizza. i had a really, really intense costume planned and then i was like maybe i'll save it.

designer. you created these for all the right reasons. talk about it. >> yeah. i started with doing the stuart whitesman campaigns and i am a huge supported of pencils of promise. 2013 was my first gala. stuart has a partnership where he has made a financial commitment to building three schools, one in guatemala, one in ghana and one in laos, so my proceeds will be part of that fall 2016 commitment to building three schools. >> wow, that's called an "it" girl doing right by the term. >> thank you so much. >> what are you going to say to your 25 million instagram followers about your experience here this morning? >> that i love this show and i'm so excited that i'm on it. >> gigi hadid, it's great to have you here. thank you so much. up next, we're kicking off our countdown to thanksgiving with great recipes.

we are kicking off a special "today" food all-star thanksgiving. it starts this morning. we're going to bring you the biggest and brightest stars in the culinary world to make your holiday the best ever. here is a look at what's in store.

going to have 20 people, you should have two turkeys, two 14-pounders would be very generous and gives you enough for your turkey sandwiches the next day. you know, you have to have all of that. and the extra dressing. so rub the salt and wrap this turkey -- you should do the day before. wrap the turkey in plastic wrap, put back in the refrigerator and let it stay. and that's a dry brine. then rinse it. i so you have a rinsed and dried turkey. make sure you dry it inside and out. >> get to know that turkey. >> yes. you have your nice roasting pan with a rack. under the rack, orange, garlic, onion, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. and then this is the odd part, a ciabatta bread. this is just cut in half. butter this really well.

>> this is so good. you put this in the pan on the rack, and then you put your turkey upside down on the bread. >> now why upside down? >> this way you're going to have a really moist breast without doing the -- oh, i have to try this too, without doing the more complicated cheesecloth method 101 that i'm famous for. i love that one too. but i make three or four different turkeys every funny? gigi is down here chowing down on this turkey. she said you know what i have to do after this? i have my fitting for the victoria's secret show. >> gigi, that's so funny. me too! >> a little bulge won't hurt. >> you might not want some of that oyster dressing. >> just a few seconds, we've got to see the upside down thing. >> this goes upside down onto the bread.

425. put this right in. here, john -- >> you're a strapping young man. >> put that in and then bring me this turkey. this has been in for 45 minutes at 425. >> that's all? >> yep. and now we flip it. see, we flip it. it's a little hot. >> well, be careful. we can't lose you, martha. >> and then are jus here? >> and then we butter it a little bit more. >> i've got to get to john for his dressing. >> flip it, put a little more butter on the breast and put it back in the oven. make sure you pour some turkey stock. >> how long in the oven? >> another two hours. >> great. >> and this is what it looks like. >> it looks gorgeous. and taste tasters say it tastes

>> okay, so oyster dressing. what you would call stuffing, up north we call it dressing. >> and you don't put it in the turkey? >> we're not putting it in the turkey, just serving this on the side. so you've got to start with a little bacon. so we have bacon rendering, onion, a little garlic. we call this the trinity of creole cooking. it's very simple, some green onions, onions, just a little bit of bacon. we'll just saute this up nicely like that and add in just a little bit of cayenne pepper, some garlic powder and some smoked paprika. >> so that's going to have a little kick to it. >> oh, it will, it will. >> great. >> so i will turn this off. this is an old family recipe. perfect to make ahead like a day or so. i love doing these dressings well in advance. this is everything that you see there. just cooked down for about 15

using there? >> just like day old stale bread. >> like french bread? >> french bread is great, some of that ciabatta is wonderful. >> we're going to set that back there. and so you've got to have a little smoke in the kitchen. >> get to the oysters, everybody wants to know about that. >> nothing like martha stewart shucking oysters for you. just from either coast. i love these big southern oysters. toss that up with a little salt, a little parsley. >> how did you prep those oysters, just a little butter? >> no, just raw. fresh. >> what we want to do is pour that right into our casserole. >> i think that paprika -- >> that's really so good. >> try smoking that paprika like i just did.

how does it taste downstairs? >> just a little bit of green onion. you want to bake that 350 for about an hour. that's what we have here. serving it with martha's incredible upside down roast turkey. >> come to mama. okay, great. thank you so much. john besh, martha stewart, for these recipes. >> john, would you like a little? >> i want some of that turkey. >> recipe at today.com/food. john is cook with kathie lee and hoda. taste testers, thumbs up, right? >> thumbs up. >> thumbs up. >> this is "today" on nbc. at ikea, we believe that everything you need should be within reach. in an affordable dream kitchen that works as hard as you do. get 15% back at the ikea kitchen event. hillary clinton: i'm hillary clinton and i approve this
