and, did we mention? cubs win! an epic championship worth repeating. al was there for the game, and has made his way to chicago overnight to join the history making celebration "today," thursday, november 3rd, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in and good morning, everybody, welcome to "today" on a great thursday morning. matt, where were you 108 years ago? >> can i just say, oh, baby. >> i know, right? >> what a game! i said to my son, this is a game you'll tell your kids about. game seven of this world series. >> not only do we have a game seven, we get a great game seven with all of this drama. even an act of god, a rain delay. we had everything! >> i know. al, of course, was there last night.

got some screaming fans behind him. he's probably a little bit disappointed this morning. >> not in that crowd. i think everybody's just excited because it is a great day for baseball and for sports. let's start with nbc's ron mott. he also has made his way to chicago. hi, ron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i've got just one question for you -- how about it was a memorable game. there were palpitations all across the country so not for a weak heart. but at the end of the day, the cubs' heart was just a beat or two stronger than the indians. >> reporter: a finish not even hollywood could muster. >> cubs win the world series! they finally won it all! >> reporter: the unbelievable win coming after a nile-baiter where the cubs first stormed to

a thrilling home run tying it for the indians in the eighth. a rain delay. and extra innings in this game for the ages. then -- the clincher. ben zobrist in the tenth. and with that, the chicago cubs broke the curse and the drought. world series champions again for the first time since 1908. >> this is dream come true. >> reporter: the cheers from a outside wrigley field overnight, just as sweet as the bubbly bath players soaked in after beating the indians in a dramatic game seven. >> number one, baby. >> chicago is just exploding with happiness. >> reporter: anchored by pitcher kyle hendricks, steady as he was stoic, the cubs struck quickly. leadoff hitting dexter fowler with a home run.

innings to hang on for the victory despite the spirited charge by the indians. >> i believe this team is into making history, not repeating histories. >> reporter: bye-bye to the billy goat and his curse. so long, steve bartman, no harm, no foul, all is forgiven now that history's been rewritten. >> this is why i came here. to break the code or black cat or god knows what. >> reporter: the mood somber, but proud, in cleveland. >> we'll bek >> reporter: the late legendary cubs broadcaster harry caray once famously said, some day the cubs are going to be in the world series. his beloved cubbies doing more than just showing up. they showed out. now the clock resets until they win it all again and the waiting begins anew. but today -- it's time to party. >> the best world series ever. >> reporter: the party continues here in chicago. we've got a tweet to report from the president of the united

cubs win world series. that's change even this south sider can believe in. want to come to the white house before i leave? it is a standing invitation for the cubs. we'll see if they take him up on it. back to you. >> ron mott in the thick of it, thank you. >> you know who was up watching the game? bob costas was watching the game and he joins us now. bob, see if you agree with this. even without all the history, all the baggage, the drought, the frustration for these two baseball cities, i think this is one of the greates >> yeah. it is one of the great game sevens, as you said, matt, even if you take away all the back story. one of the great game sevens, the back and forth. it had heroics, it had misplays, strategy that was brilliant, strategies that could be questioned. both teams right off the bat. it went right to the end of the

from now you are telling your grandkids about that game seven in 2016, was there one moment that kind of crystallized it all? >> well, they blew a lead, a sizable lead, and then everybody across cub nation was saying, oh, my gosh, here we go again. but cleveland has its own experience with that. you had two teams with not exactly parallel histories with but overlapping histories. so i think there was some anxiety involved. but i guess if you had to pick zobrist hit after the rain delay that gave them the lead in the top of the tenth, although the indians battled back and pulled it within one and had a man on when it all ended. >> as if hollywood needed a movie. the skies open up, here comes the tarp. cubs go in and have a players-only meeting. i'm trying to imagine who the actors are going to be when i watch that on the big screen.

heyward, a terrific base runner who's struggled the a the plate but had his moments in the postseason, he's parentally led that brief meeting. and the indians had a little bit of mojo going because davis had hit the home run to tie the game in the eighth inning. if there was any momentum, it seemed to belong to cleveland. some people will theorize that the rain delay kind of reset things and gave the cubs a chance to get their bearings again and they came back out and got the two runs in the top half of the tenth inning. >> you tal you may be referring to one of those strategic calls when joe maddon takes out hendricks in the fifth who's in the middle of pitching a gem. brings in lester. then that pitch hits david ross in the mask. next thing you know, cleveland scores two runs. had the cubs not won that game, bob, how much second-guessing of that call would there have been? >> joe maddon is one of the great modern managers but the way he used his pitching staff, chapman and the quick hooks for

circumstances and seven would have opened him up to legitimate second-guessing plus all the noise and nonsense on talk radio and social media had the cubs lost. but since won, it is all forgotten and everybody loves maddon. >> what's it mean to the city of chicago, bob? >> well, it means more than can possibly be expressed, as it would have meant to cleveland, because they had waited since 1948 and haven't won a title in any sport since 1964. i m have won, michael jordan's bulls won six times. cleveland had been without one in any sport since '64 until cavs won in the string. then they were looking to double down in the fall so it would have meant a lot there. but when it comes to just baseball in chicago, even though the white sox won in 2005, the cubs are the team, they are "the" identity of chicago baseball. to go from 1908 to 2016 -- and i

it wasn't called wrigley field until a bit later. but wrigley field is the place where all this played out. just like fenway park still exists. so all the ghosts were there when they finally broke through in 2004. all the ghosts, all the history, all that resides at wrigley field. had they moved for a new ballpark in the interim, even had it been 108 years, i don't think it would have quite the texture and drama. wrigley field still stands. cleveland to experience it communally. >> we wanted a good world series. we got a great world series. bob, thanks. we'll have a lot more on the cubs' first title in 108 years, including al's big night at the ballpark. >> we are jealous. turning now to politics, the state of the presidential race. five days to go now. during a rally in florida, donald trump urged himself to avoid getting sidetracked in the campaign's final days telling the crowd he is going to stay on point.

in four swing states. it could decide this election. in head-to-head match-ups, clinton leads by just two points in florida and north carolina. she's up by six points in pennsylvania. but take a look at ohio where trump has moved ahead with a three-point advantage. >> it is a family affair on the trail today. both candidates will be in north carolina this afternoon. melania trump then heads to pennsylvania, rare campaign appearance for her. former president bill clinton heads to clinton will rally voters if had wisconsin. >> we have reports from both campaigns starting with donald peter alexander down in miami this morning. good morning. >> matt and savannah, good morning to you. perhaps the biggest news these days from the trump campaign is how little news

future. >> reporter: the crowd reacting on cue. just days to go, both campaigns just days to go both campaigns making sure they touch all the bases. >> hillary clinton won't change washington because all it takes is one wrong move. >> as trump tries to carve a path to 270 electoral votes.

people i care about. >> let me tell you what is nasty. nasty is hillary clinton -- >> no, no, no. tell you what's . he's the first republican to ever elevate a woman to this position as a campaign manager. >> yeah, he loves women. come on. come on. >> yes, he does. he is very respectful toward women. >> reporter: this as trump targets the media, nbc's katy tur, for missing a movement. >> they're not reporting it. they're something ha rate too close to call, trump is trying o you the a new strategy. >> the polls are all saying we are going to win florida. don't believe it. don't believe it. get out there and vote. pretend we're slightly behind. pretend we're down. right. >> reporter: nearly 16 months after launching his campaign, trump almost appearing wistful. >> it has been the honor of my life to share this journey with you. it has absolutely been.

who i did not really get to share this with. and that's my mother, and my father. i know they're up there watching. i just felt that nice breeze. it's hot. but i just felt that nice breeze so they're helping us out. >> reporter: one note about the international section of politics and baseball. in the last eight world series, since 1924, decided in a game seven, during a presidential election year, every time the republican candidate won. every time the national league team won, the democrats won. so if you believe in baseball as any predictor, this morning it is advantage clinton. matt and savannah, back to you. >> you need a chalkboard for that, dry erase board. peter, thank you. we've been talking about hillary clinton. she's doing everything she can to turn out voters in the key battlegrounds. nbc's andrea mitchell is in one of those battlegrounds, raleigh,

savannah. hillary clinton coming here to hillary clinton coming here to battle in north carolina, and she will be joined later today in the park by bernie sanders in a state that had been leaning democratic but now is called by nbc news a toss up, and in the upcoming days she is sure to shore up the numbers. >> spending 45 minutes backstage after her campaign rally in ipad with aides. later tweeting, they did it! 108 years later and the drought is finally over. way to make history cubs. the celebration coming after clinton drew one of her biggest crowds at that arizona rally, her first stop there this campaign. it's a long shot for her, trying to become the first democrat to win the state since bill clinton

a real chance to turn this state blue again. >> with polls in arizona showing her locked in a tight race with donald trump, clinton is targeting the state's growing block of latino voters. >> about half the people he wants to deport, they paid more in federal taxes than donald trump has paid. >> earlier in nevada, snapchating at a hair braiding salon. and trying to fire up her volunteers. >> if we turn out voters, you know what happens? we win. and imagining donald trump in the oval office. >> our girls would grow up with a president that proudly ranks women by their looks and brags about doing things to them without their consent. >> with her own high unfavorable ratings a big challenge, clinton worries some voters will just stay home.

maybe i will just sit this one out. i don't -- i can't really make up my mind. i don't know who is really going to help me and my family. >> reporter: she is leaning heavily on a network of democrats in addition to bernie sanders today, her husband bill clinton, and running mate, tim kaine, and joe biden all fanning out across the country, and president obama set to rally democrats in florida today. clinton trying to avoid about her recent e-mail controversy. but for the first time president obama taking a swipe at his fbi director, james comey. >> there's a norm that when there are investigations we don't operate on innuendo or incomplete information or leaks, we operate based on concrete decisions that are made.

african-americans are less than what it was a year ago, partly because hillary clinton is not barack obama. savannah and matt? >> thank you. i think we have a shot now -- yeah, this is in chicago, and this is at wrigley field where the cubs are arriving home early this morning, getting off the bus, and as you can see there are fans, jason heyward there, and still waiting to find out when the celebration will be. >> i still see huge smiles. >> al, sorry you travelled all night to get to chicago.

>> i spoke to mayor emanuel yesterday. [ cheering ] of the most famous fans, bill phaoury got into the musical feel of things in one of the and despite the torrential downpour, the spirit and festivities continued on the field and in fact, i got into the locker room last night, the big hero, mvp, ben zobrist, i got up with him after the game and we will show you that conversation coming up in the next half hour. i also met up with their lovely wife and baby, and i was down by

bg back through to get to the stadium, and she ran back to get in just in time to see him make that historic hit. it really was a special, special night. we have more of that coming up. let's also talk about your weather. it was so warm last night in cleveland and it will continue with record highs across the southeast and savannah, atlanta, charl look at the temperatures how warm they are from kansas city. chicago today, 65 degrees. that's what's going on around the country, and here's what's

i can't believe i get to be part of this. this is my first year as a chicago cub. i am spoiled to be part of this. >> when you do something like this, and do you have any idea how much this means to the city and the history? >> i think we couple days when we have the parade. i know there's generations of people that waited for this moment. families and fans all across the nation and world and cubs fans waited for this moment and we were finally able to give it to them, so thank you to our fans and thank you for the opportunity the cubs have given me to be here. >> do you think the weather had anything to do with it.

we are the best team and from that point on we felt like it was ours. >> it's raining in here. champagne. how are you doing? how does this feel? >> this feels unbelievable. amazing. it's hard to explain. 108 years, 71 years since the cubs have been in the world series. this is the right group, al, right time, and ownership and everybody down to the extra inning games and everybody participated. >> even a rain delay. >> it's going to rain right now. i think it's champagne from the sky. >> that's it. congratulations. >> love you, man. >> what an incredible night and you can feel the excitement here, and still we are at harry caray's, and you know it's just going to keep going.

>> it's only going to get worse. >> we were all cubs fans, and i am an emotional wreck. this was two years ago, and 2016 world series, cubs versus indians and then the world will end with the score tied in game seven in extra innings. and thankfully he was wrong about the world ending pa of cubs fans. there were tons of the pictures, and obviously waiting a lifetime for the moment all the way down to the team's newest followers, and buddy, i have great news for you in the morning, and as you see this boy asleep with his cubs bat right there. >> way to go with the apocalypse reference.

cantor, i can't take it! >> carson, thank you. >> now, back to al for a check of the weather. >> here's an interesting thing. you talk about this, and this is from our friends from major league baseball, the world championship hat and the shirt, and imagine the folks at wrigley -- at progressive field who had to stock all this stuff truck make this trip three times in the last two innings. bringing the gear, the world series gear, with the different teams on it back and forth, so it was really -- they had a lot of tension going on there as well. let's look at your weather, and while we have wet weather making its way from texas into the midwest, you can see heavy showers and thunderstorms now

way into oklahoma. we have the soggy southwest and the jet stream dips down and looking for heavy rain and gusty winds, and could be flash flooding and mountain snows for the rockies, and good news for the skiers there. look at the rainfall amounts and the flood threat will increase from texas to arizona and some places may see up to five inches locally. that's what's going on around the country and here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. >> here at home we are off to a clouds and rain chances are on the way, and already raining up near pittsburgh and those rain showers will be in the d.c. metro area before you come home later today so grab the umbrella. not much rain out there just yet. current temperatures miles, and will be in the upper 70s. some spots down towards ma nappious and culpepper, and the record itself is 80, and cooler for tomorrow. >> get that weather anytime you

someone who's going to be there for you. >> reporter: at a grade school in philadelphia, police commissioner richard ross is telling kids about the program they'll launch here. the school's principal says on these streets, kids see police officers as the bad guys. >> quite often our children have seen parents being arrested by police. quite often there are police in the community and it is always something negative. >> reporter: that's exactly why commissioner ross wants bigs in blue in this neighborhood. does it build trust kind of on an individ we're in this police/community relations, particularly in some communities of color, and the need to cultivate those so we're going to use that to help us do that, and that's what we are optimistic about. >> robert and ryan are op paw 'tissic about their friendship, a bond that has only grown staupbger. >> we were sitting out back, remember that, robert, and we were kneeling down and i said we

win that fight. the state with these laws dropped to about one to 2% points, and that could be enough, and tens of thousands of people could help win the race. >> you have to go online and find out what is required in your state. >> some people who don't have proper identification, and disproportionately people of color, and there are serious obstacles to getting your id. >> you can see mor specifically on the app on that amazon fire tv. >> let us head to al in chicago. >> announcer: today's weather is sponsored by netjets, the worldwide leader in private aviation. >> let's take a look at the beloved wrigley field, ladies

we forget to cry. we forget to be emotional, to show vulnerability, to show pain. >> for a long time, there's been this gender stereotype that men are meant to be really tough and strong and brave. when i dropped out of high school, it was because i was mentally unwell. >> at 17 i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a severe form. in battling that disease, people forgot that i was a human >> i know how hard it is to talk about this sort of stuff. i know how much of a barrier it can be for men. >> we need to talk about this. we need to be honest about it. >> it's one of those things that's kept under wraps so much. it is so much more common than we realize and we just hide it. >> let's change the conversation. let's make it a point for humankind to recognize that the brain is an organ just like every other part of the body,

about why men aren't talking about their minds. >> nearly 46% of men say they are embarrassed to share their feelings about mental health. this is significant -- 49% admit they are feeling more depressed than they let on. >> men don't ask for directions when they're lost either. it is a male quality of not wanting to get help. go it alone. be brave. it is a known male quality but sometimes it can get in your way. >> when you come across men, how do they get past this hurdle? >> a lot of folks think they ha t if you want to man up, protect your family. the most important thing a man needs to do is be there for his family. if men aren't healthy they can't walk their daughter down the aisle, they won't be there for the rest of their family in they need some help. >> does depression manifest itself differently in men than it does in women? >> well, there are more commonalities than there are differences. men tend to have an irritability thing. perhaps more than women. they get irritable, they get

themselves. they want to do that anyway. they want to go off by themselves, because they are irritable, nothing feels good. often they do self-destructive habits like drinking and drug use because nothing feels good. >> this series is geared toward men but it should also be geared toward the women in our lives. how do women play a role in this to try to help guys become more communicative about things like this? >> first, use sports metaphors. but actually, literally, saw pass the ball i'm here, too. you don't have to do it all yourself. in this survey we did together we found profound things about men and they're very different from women. women want to be there to help. let women help you. if women say that to a man, he'll step down a little bit and say, okay, i'll let it happen. otherwise, they will lie to themselves and deny. >> sports metaphors is good. war metaphors in fact. men gear mentally for battle.

so you got to respect the fact that a man's got a battlefield mentality and work with it that way. >> doctors, thank you both. appreciate it. important information. if you have questions for them about -- they are about to take part in a live chat on our today health facebook page. you can find more information at today.com. up next, reversing alzheimer's disease. maria shriver on an experimental program showing remarkable promise. but first on thursday morning, this is "today" on nbc. fios is not cable. we're wired differently. so we wired the wagner's house with 100 meg internet. which means in the time it takes mr. wagner to pour a 20 oz. cup of coffee, tommy can download 30 songs, and jan can upload 120 photos. 12 seconds. that's the power of fiber optics. this is your last chance to get super fast 100meg internet, tv and phone for just $69.99 per month online. this is your final week to get this great deal.

reversed their symptoms and allowed them to live a normal life. ?? >> reporter: at 50, deborah says her brain is sharper than decades before. >> mentally i feel at least in my 30s. it is amazing. >> reporter: amazing because this mother of four has the alzheimer's gene and struggled with serious cognitive decline in her 40s. it became increasingly difficult for me to recognize people's faces. and my fuzziness worried me because it wasn't like me. >> reporter: terrified of her future, deborah began an experimental protocol designed to stop the symptoms of alzheimer's. it's called the bredesen program. >> we are getting results that haven't been seen before. >> reporter: california neurologist dr. dale bredesen created it.

groundbreaking way? >> we spent 27 years in the laboratory looking at what are the features that drive the underlying problem? >> reporter: he believes alzheimer's is caused by dozens of imbalances in the body that his program is designed to fix. his daily protocol includes eating a mediterranean diet high in vegetables and good fats, regular cardio exercise, fasting at least 12 hours after di, getting at least eight hours of sleep, and a regimen of supplements to address each patient's deficiencies. >> you are saying that all of these things done together reverses cognitive impairment and/or alzheimer's. >> yes. we see improvement time after time after time. >> reporter: in a small published study, bredesen found his program boosted cognitive functioning in 9 out of 10 alzheimer's patients within six

return to work. did the bredesen program save your brain? >> yeah. >> reporter: this study patient asked us to hide his identity because he is a working physician diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's. when his memory started to slip, he began the bredesen program. a year in, he says his symptoms disappeared. his cognitive test scores back to normal. today, you're still practicing. >> very much so. i'm just functioning very now. >> reporter: bredesen says his program only works for patients in early stages of the disease. do you consider yourself the alzheimer's cure? >> no, of course not. the longest we have the person on a program is four and a half years. we've not had a single example yet out of the hundreds in which someone has gone on the program, gotten better, stayed on the program, and then gotten worse. >> reporter: he's now partnered with the cleveland clinic for a larger clinical trial of his

out. but patients like deborah say they're living proof it works. >> i would stand on my rooftop and shout it out to people. >> i really felt like my life was saved. >> well, the alzheimer's association says it is encouraged by dr. bredesen's initial results, but they do say further study is needed. dozens of doctors across the country have now been trained to administer his program which you can find out more today.com. next year he's going to next year he's going to public a book about his program. a lot of people excited about this, and others saying don't rush, this is not a cure. in the space it's all about intervention and prevention, get there early on. >> people talking a lot about fat in the diet, and i thought the fact that the fasting was really interesting, and then interval exercise, not just walking or going to the gym, but

your brain has a direct impact on the brain. >> complicated causes with complicated solutions. >> and transforming one junk room into the ultimate man cave, but first this is "today" on nbc. i believe america is already great. yes, we have our challenges. we must give every child a great education, build an economy that works for everyone, end tax breaks for companies that move our jobs overs by working together, democrats and republicans, we can do these things. that's why we must defeat those who want to turn americans against one another. i'm chris van hollen, and i approve this message, because united, our best days are still ahead. because united, fios is not cable. we're wired differently. so we wired the wagner's house with 100 meg internet. which means in the time it takes mr. wagner to pour a 20 oz. cup of coffee,

it was unreal. >> you hope it goes to a game seven and extra innings. maybe not the rain delay. >> even the rain delay was pa nice little change of pace. >> i couldn't believe it. >> give the grounds crew a chance to be in the spotlight for a minute. >> you are a sports guy though. you are very athletic. >> well, thank you. >> am i wrong? >> i'd like to think of myself that way. >> who were you rooting for? was your heart with one team or not? >> i'm from cincinnati. cleveland's like the hated rival. rival within our division so to me it was like the lesser of two evils. >> ooh. >> but i think just the long suffering cubs fans. to see cubs fans finally have a chance to relish that moment. although i did hear somebody say they've lost their identity now. they're no longer the loveable losers. so what's the fan base going to do? >> the lovable winners. >> we saw a video of them arriving early this morning. for some reason i decided to

i was not sober -- i wasn't drunk but i wasn't sober. >> that's when you're typing and you're so focused -- >> i know. i never, ever tweet under any influence of anger or anything because you can really ruin your career and embarrass your family. and so i tried not to do that yesterday. >> what are some of the things? >> some of the tweets i sent -- please, theo for president or my agent. the curse whisperer lives. this is what we call sports in america! and then i said -- >> you are a >> big moment. >> i was like -- someone said don't you have to go to work? i'm like worry about work tomorrow. then i said here comes the rain again. tenth inning. it just went on. then i snapchatted. you can see -- i think it goes away in 24 hours. >> think about theo though. guy breaks the curse in boston. youngest gm ever. >> say it again. >> boston. >> you said it right. >> does it in boston, turns around and does it in chicago.

room to locker room, and the lead changed, so they would go back and forth, back and forth, and it was so close, it was incredible. and then chicago finally pulls it out, and i have to tell you, even though the game was played in cleveland, i think half the people in the stands were from chicago. [ cheering ] >> did you see that final out? and the crowd goes nuts. t game was over and the -- look at bill murray. he was there, and he has been such a long-time cubs fan, dancing in the fans and having a great time, and then, of course, theo ebstein as you were talking about, he was so thrilled, bill and theo were in the clubhouse afterwards celebrating with champagne. it was spectacular. i got to go into the locker room

cleveland -- as a chicago cub, and, boy, what a first year to have. in fact, i ran into his wife, and all of a sudden, during the rain delays, guys, they come out and away from the field. he goes out and she runs back in, and she runs into me, and she says i have to get back out there and got to see him in his at-bats and he hits the game-winning hit and the rest is history. it was great. like i said, make no bones about it, i'm a cleveland indians fan and lived in cleveland for five years, and everybody that took part in that game has something to be proud of. whatever team won, nobody was going to complain about it. look, if you are going to lose to a team you want to lose to the chicago cubs, a team of
