pittsburgh. she is using miley cyrus and katy perry. there is a lot to get to this morning. including an overnight scare in the hillary clinton campaign headquarters. let's start with nbc's jacob rascon. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, sheinelle. four clinton team measures were exposed to a white substance sent in an envelope. one of the floors of the evacuated. substance was not harmful. now top aides to trump are promising a new tone, positive vision and road map with the speech at gettysburg. >> we will win. we will shock the world.

days in office. today's speech in pennsylvania what top aides call his closing argument with a top vision with new policy details. >> we will do something special. >> reporter: this as polling shows trump slipping in ohio and behind in every other swing state. the movement, trump tells supporters is somehow bigger than polls. >> a lot of people know it. thing. >> reporter: our nbc news/surveymonkey tracking shows this is resonating with republicans. four in ten say they may not accept the results. campaigning for hillary clinton, vice president joe biden had strong words for trump over his lewd comments caught on tape. >> the press asks me don't i wish i were debating him. no, i wish i was in high school

>> is it too late? >> it is too late for a closing statement. you had an audience of 70 million people and then in the first debate an audience of 80 million people. this is the only chance you have to talk to the undecided voters. he missed. it. >> i want to get your take here. 45% of republican voters are li accept the election loss for the candidate. do you find this surprising? is trump's rhetoric working? >> this is the most troubling aspect of the campaign. it is unprecedented for the nominee to signal they would not respect the results of an election. we have never had that happen before. so because trump supporters are artent, it is bleeding in the base.

will they be beholden to a party in which 40% of the base believes the president of the united states is illegitimate? >> surely, how do you see this playing out? >> i was in arizona conducting focus groups with donald trump supporters and undecided. trump supporters who say they will concede, they say well al gore waited until december. if trump thinks something is they are okay and they see it as fine. they blame the media right now more than they expect a rigged election. they think the media is portraying trump as dead in the water. that is contributing to his demise. >> joy, is there a risk that they hear all this and look at the poll numbers and electoral map and get confident? you don't want to spike the ball before the game is over.

point. you are now starting to hear democrats and democratic operatives pushing a message to democratic voters. wait a minute. this is not over. don't feel comfortable that you think you can stay home. the difference is the clinton campaign has a robust get out the vote effort. they want to make sure every single early voter is out. they are doing a absentee ballot push. the trump campaign is smaller in

down in the answer found in a target? hackers aiming at a company called dyn. it acts like an address book and switch board of the internet. this time, hackers deployed the latest weapon in cyber warfare. virus that effects internet devices like dvrs and baby monitors and turns them into cyber bot slaves and using them overwhelmed and crashes. >> it is unthinkable that a baby monitor could topple twitter. an army of baby monitors can knock over the most important companies in the world. >> reporter: experts say companies are manufacturing weak default passwords making them vulnerable. >> the fact that companies can make hundreds of thousands of devices and put them on the

attack the united states is a problem. >> reporter: so far, there is a lot of speculation on who is to blame. a senior u.s. intelligence official now telling nbc news this is a classic case of internet vandalism. it does not appear to be a state sponsored attack. what is clear, a new weapon has been deployed as companies and countries try to prepare for a possibility of cyber war. experts tell us a lot of the devices used in right now, the department of homeland security and fbi are investigating. stephanie. >> thank you, gadi. testimony resumes in new jersey in the bridgegate trial. the question is did governor chris christie know about the george washington bridge closures? he says he didn't, but during testimony on friday, one former aide insists he did.

authority director was the mastermind in the issue in 2013. he is now the government's key witness. kelly and defendant bill baroni pleaded not guilty to nine felony counts. she said christie was aware of the e-mail she sent saying time for traffic problems in ft. lee. she said it was a poor choice of not retibution meant to punish a local mayor. christie previously called kelly a rogue and liar. >> it presents the truth as bridget kelly knows it. >> reporter: david walstein was telling christie about the closures on september 11th. as the lane closures were

accords to wildstein, the three laughed about it. a man with hoping for higher office now caught in a scandal he may never recover from. now defense attorneys painted kelly as a low-level employee even to please her boss. not in the inner circle as the government alleges. the jury could start deliberating as soon as week. craig. >> thank you. we head overseas where secretary of defense ash carter is touching down in iraq as the crews are trying to take back the city of mosul. we have nbc's richard engel in erbil this morning. >> reporter: he came to meet with the iraqi primary and

ground too. we saw them in combat gear clearing bombs. it is the same job chief petty officer jason finan had. he was killed this week when an ied went off near his vehicle. isis so far is pursuing a dual strategy. fighting to defend mosul and key villages and using terrorist attacks. using a soft target like came in yesterday and killed dozens of people. there was a scare today for some u.s. troops that are advising in in this mission. isis, two days ago, set fire to a sulfur plant and the winds shifted bringing some of the fumes close to u.s. troops. out of the sense of personal comfort. some decided to put on protective chemical gear.

determine if the fumes cause any threat, but a military spokesperson told us at this point there has been no change in posture and no reports of hospitalizations. >> richard, thank you. ontario, california is under a smoke alert after firefighters struggle with a massive blaze. a thick black plume rose over the city friday as 100-foot high flames shot from theyc cardboard and plastic bottles fueled the fire. homes and businesses were evacuated. the positive news is no serious injuries. and activists in kansas are warning people to stay out of town to avoid the chemical leak. harmful gas washed over the town friday. 11,000 people were told to shelter in place. more than five dozen treated in hospitals. one person is in intensive care.
