support of his campaign in the wake of that leaked "access hollywood" tape. >> and a new poll taken after sunday's debate shows hillary clinton with a 10-point lead now among likely voters in a head to head matchup with trump. and it's a tale of two coasts on the trail. trump is back in florida today hold twog morallies. clinton heads west with stops in colorado and nevada on her schedule. let's get right to hali in florida. hallie, good morning to you. >> hi, matt, good morning. today, donald trump is ramping up his battle with his own party. a private call with members of congress today to try and update them on their strategy, even as trump himself announces he's apparently now unchained. >> on stage at a packed panama city park, donald trump staying silent about the republican

the shackles are off, he tweeted. reportedly telling texas governor voters it feels so good. >> they're weak and effective people within the republican party, senators and others, paul ryan. i wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with a lot of these people, including ryan, especially ryan. >> i got that. >> trump's running mate, mike pence, brought on board to party. >> i don't find myself thinking a lot about party right now. i find myself and donald trump finds himself thinking mostly about america. >> just four weeks until election day, new fallout for the gop ticket. this morning, nbc news learned exclusively some big dollar donors are commanding refunds, appalled by trump's comments on a 2005 "access hollywood"

comments regarding women, worried the campaign will assure a victory for hillary clinton. a trump spokesman saying we're unaware of any donors making such a request. as a new "usa today" analysis now shows a quarter of all top republicans won't endorse their own nommy. >> we'll have a separate party, yeah. >> but he still trails hillary clinton in almost every battleground, trying to turn the tide with sharper new ad. >> hillary clinton doesn't have the fortitude, strength or stamina to lead in our world. >> trump says he looks forward to facing off in the final debate in florida, bragging about how he did last time. >> otherwise, did everybody see the debate, right? gotten good reviews, good reviews. >> and memorably explaining why it looks like he was looming. >> she entered my space, right? so i said i'm not getting near

messaging misstep. >> go and register. make sure you get out and vote, november 28th. >> election day, of course, is november 8th. as for our new polling, another piece of information here, when it comes to that 2005 audio, more voters after the debate as opposed to before it believe that that hot mike moment doesn't disqualify donald trump from the presidency. matt, savannah. >> hallie jackson, thanks so much. >> good morning to you. >> g is there potentially a strategy for donald trump to go after the establishment and go after the old gray beards of the party or is he just campaigning like he just don't care? >> well, i think it's both. i think it's strategy to winning the nomination was -- his first target was jeb bush who embodies the gop establishment. and his first sort of scalp was his. and then he kept on going until he obliterated 16 largely

basics. the notion that he's a -- be accepted. the idea that he was every restrained and restrained by whom? his family, they represent the greatest enablers and the most powerful people in his inner circles. >> nicole says bask to basics. one with of the things he's gone back to is this attack on hillary clinton's stamina and physical health. is there any indication as a strategy, mark, that works? strategy is to rally republicans back behind him. this videotape caused a lot of republicans to withdraw. going after hillary clinton on this is like going after benghazi or after her husband's past, it rallies republicans. it may not work to win him the election right away, but the first step to being in a position to win is to get republicans back on his side. >> and then you have speaker

some ways going through the stages of grief and acknowledging that he doesn't think trump can win. has he not created more problems for himself? now he sets up an argument for the trump people to say, you know, if you had stuck by us, if you'd stuck your neck out for us, maybe we would have won. >> donald trump's view is on the republican nominee, republicans should be for me. paul ryan's view is i'm trying to save the house of representatives so hillary clinton doesn't have unified republican control. they're going to be in and i predict by election day, paul ryan will have repudiated donald trump more than he currently does 37. >> is there anything you can compare this to, a candidate so at odds with his own party? >> not in recent history. structurally, he's not going to win. the people you need to win over to your side are not the people that are going to respond or be fired up by the kind of scorched earth politics he's now fully embraced.

campaign as they are grapple, more e-mails. and president obama and former president al gore are campaigning hard for clinton. kristin walker has that part of the race covered. kristin, good morning. >> savannah, good morning to you. secretary clinton heads out west to colorado and nevada. as she is facing more tough questions about hacked e-mails reportedly regarding john podesta. the fbi is investigating this as top democrats hit the campaign trail in for facing an increasingly bitter battle, democrats presenting a united front, hitting donald trump hard. >> that's not right. you just have to be a decent human being to say that's not right. >> even al gore, who famously danced himself from the clintons during his failed 2000 presidential bid making ago rare appearance with hillary clinton in florida. the same state where a recount ultimately led to his defeat.

voters. >> your vote really, really, really counts. >> as donald trump unleashes some of his most personal attacks yet against bill clinton's alleged past indisdiscretions, past supporters are joining the fray, too. protesting the former president at events. >> now, let me just say -- >> after event on wednesday. >> uh-oh, somebody is yelling at me again. >> the clinton camp is also dealing with a new round of campaign champ john podesta, revealed by wikileaks. >> in one e-mail, it's raising questions about a possible conflict of interest between ryan fallon, writing that he was in contact with doj about lawsuits over clinton's e-mails issues writing, quote, folks inform me there is a status hearing in the case.

on clint job's campaign plane. >> i have -- with the fbi. >> wikileaks is amazing. the stuff that's coming out. it shows she's a real liar. >> as this as hillary clinton is providing a glimpse into her mind-set with less than a month into election day, telling the ""new york times" magazine" i'm not going to lose and i'm the last thing standing between you and the apocalypse. >> john for the hacks and said he believes the trump campaign is colluding with russia. meantime, secretary clinton is expected to take aim at republicans who have yet to can he nouns trump. >> kristen, thank you. >> one being a nonevent, ten being a campaign shaking event, where do these leaked e-mails

>> kind of extraordinary that the chairman of the democratic nominee campaign is accusing russia of colluding with the republican nominee and it's not the lead story. >> hillary clinton needs to attract millennials. in some weird way, does the wikileaks thing matter more to millennials because they live in a digital world? >> i don't think so. most of the things that have come so far are so inside baseball. and unlike the things involving donald trump, the they don't clinton. they involve her team. >> but it is a perception that exists about hillary clinton because you feel like there are behind the scenes machinations. they think she does what's expedient. >> and make no mistake about it. her rise in the polls is not a sign of her strength, it's a sign of his collapse. so these developments don't

they can't hurt her. they suggest the bottom is falling out of the trump endeavor. >> unless reporters can get to her and question her about it, she's forced to respond, it doesn't get in front of any voters the way this trump stuff is going on right now. >> al gore on the campaign trail for hillary clinton. he's the environmental activists, but he's thrown under the radar. does he help her? >> i think he helps her get news coverage. people are talking about two themes they want to emphasize. global has to turn out or the election will be lost. it's a bit of bank shot. i don't think al gore himself necessarily helps all that much with millennial pes the. >> no accident that he's campaigning in florida where -- >> none. >> 500 votes that changed -- >> he makes a point. >> nicole, mark, thanks, guys. >> thank you. also this morning, the fbi has been called in to help in an investigation of a small plane crash in connecticut.

was serious burns, but now that pilot is indicating the crash was no accident. tom, good morning. what can you tell us? >> the plane had taken off from a flight school. it was on final approach when it went down. the pilot survived. the student pilot was the passenger. now federal law enforcement officers say they're looking at his background, including his nationality trying to determine if he intentionally crashed the plane. >> a quietom connecticut rattled this morning after a small plane crashed in a neighborhood late tuesday, possibly intentionally. the twin engine piper 3a34 was on final approach to the hartford airport when it crashed, knocking down power lines, leaving about 500 homes without party power. >> it's early in the investigation now. at this point, it's a plane crash. whether it's an accident or a criminal case, that's all to be determined. >> according to the "new york times," the pilot who survived

was not an accident. the passenger received his pilot's language almost a year ago. >> it almost crashed our car in pieces. >> the plane careening into a heavily populated area, just barely missing cars as they drove by. >> i saw the whole thing coming in and i just instantly stopped my car and the whole car just shook. >> it was like a movie scene, like who would have thought that would happen. >> investigators say the plane appears to have come from a local flight school. the time of the crash. one passenger died. >> again, he was the student pilot. the plane went down near a pratt and whitney plant, a jet engine manufacturer for commercial military and general aviation. so far, no indication the crash involved any of the company's employees or its contractors. two people in that minivan at the time of the crash suffered minor injuries. back to you. >> thank you so much. in other news, a federal

approved for north carolina dealing with the historic flooding in the wake of hurricane matthew. the storm dealt a devastating blow to parts of the caribbean. gabe gutierrez is in haiti with the latest on the situation there. >> reporter: hurricane matthew ripped through this area with winds up to 145 miles per hour and these farmers tell us that the water rushed through here and they had to run up the side of this mountain to escape. from the air, you can really see the true scope of the devastation. the u.n. estimates more than a million people are humanitarian aid. several hundred thousand are still in emergency shelters and now the fear is the spread of cholera. emergency aid is slowly trickling into this country, but not fast enough for those in the most devastated area. back to you. >> gabe, thank you very much. here in the u.s., the death toll from matthew is now up to at least 36 people across five states. the coast guard desperately looking for residents who may

flood waters in north carolina. on tuesday, police rescued elderly residents from a high rise building. in the meantime, a texas man watching this drone video spotted his twin brother's house and tweeted a plea to help his sibling trapped on a second floor. the drone operator alerted rescuers and minutes later a team arrived, sparing the man and his dog to safety. one happy ending. but still such a concern in north carolina. >> it's really a dire situation because the stage and it's not going to improve until the weekend. so we still have all of these rivers with the red diamonder here at major flooding right now, and especially the lumber river in lumberton, north carolina. here is major flooding, just under 20 feet. and you can see today, tomorrow, friday, saturday, even into sunday, it stays above major flooding. it will drop below major flooding on monday, but then we're still seeing flooding of some kind. the problem is, there is so much

go. with more than a foot of rain from matthew, all of this water is sitting there and it simply cannot recede. the neuse river at goldsboro, it will be monday before it drops below flood stage. hurricane nicole is up to a category 2 storm. this is not going to threaten the east coast at all, but it is a threat to bermuda. winds are at 100 miles per hour. you can see as we go into 30s, thursday afternoon, it could making landfall as a category 2 storm is up to 4 to 8 inches of rain lily, also a six to eight inch storm surge is possible, as well. we'll start to see those storms as we get into the overnight hours and looking for hurricane force winds to affect bermuda as we get into 9:00 tomorrow morning. a major situation possible for bermuda, but the still the flooding is a major concern for north carolina across the week.

her in. >> no, don't say that. >> but i'm just saying it. no, you know, i'm like trump, you know. do i not speak for people here? am i not saying the truth guys? come on. >> pence said the real revolution will come on election day when he said trump will be elected president. also this morning we have a new development tied to those clown sightings we've been telling you about for weeks now. mcdonald's is saying that it's having an impact on the fast food chain's iconic mascot. nbc's joe fryer has that story. >> matt, good morning. with halloween on the horizon, the clown craze is growing, and not just in the u.s. the problem has gone global. and now a beloved clown will be keeping a lower profile. ronald mcdonald, the gentle red-haired mascot for the nation's largest fast food chain is now cutting back on his schedule. in a statement, mcdonald's says it's mindful of the current climate around clown sightings in communities and is being

community events for the time being. ronald laying low because the scary sightings are getting worse. one was spotted hanging out the back of a detroit city bus. >> keep your hands where we can see them. >> and dash cam shows officers stopping clowns who were chasing cars. one of them left a 4-year-old child at home alone. it's also causing a problem overseas with creepy clown stunts like this chain saw-wielding one in engl who owe their living to clowns. >> reporter: one website has created an interactive map of clown episodes. tensions are so high in st. francis, minnesota, a coach lost his job. he always dresses up during the final soccer practice of the season, but this year he was a clown after his ninth graders tweeted this photo, he was fired. >> i'm at a loss for words what this has came to just over something like that. >> the school district says

frightened by creepy clown reports. >> i'd say that the safety and security of kids is not an overreaction. >> across the country, police are arresting clowns for scaring strangers. >> are you the clown scaring the kids back there? >> in massachusetts, one department even created a public service announcement with officers pouring out of a squad car like it's a clown car. >> remember, if you want to act like a clown, we have no problem treating you like one. >> most of these sightings are copycat hoaxes, but p as for ronald mcdonald, he will not totally vanish. the company says it will just be more cautious in determining where ronald will and won't appear. matt. >> all right, joe fryer. joe, thank you very much. >> such an odd story. let us turn to dylan. what are you looking at on your weather map. >> well, we've got an interesting situation setting up across the pacific northwest. we have storm after storm after storm that's going to move in along this atmospheric river of moisture here. not only will we see a lot of

hurricane-force winds affect especially the coastline. that goes for seattle down through portland and even into northwestern parts of california as well. so the first one moves in tonight and then we'll start to see heavier rain continue to affect the area thursday and friday. then we're going to see another storm system make its way in over the weekend and yet another one on tuesday. combine all that just through the weekend alone and we can see as much as 10 inches of rain in crescent city. most areas will pick up 7 to 10 inches of rain in some of the highest elevations. inches of rain so this is going to become an interesting story for the west coast when you factor in those hurricane-force winds as well. elsewhere we have a chance of isolated strong storms from the great lakes stretching down into

it's 7:40 now on this wednesday morning. we're back with our special series campus undercovered. >> ronan farrow facing college students. >> it is disturbing. good morning to you as well. it's also a dangerous time right now at this moment when it comes to this issue, sexual assault on campus. experts call the fall term the red zone because it's the time when most of these assaults take place. in recent years the government has tried to crack down, they're leaning on schools to do more to protect victims and fix a system that many of the victims say is impossible. many experts agree schools

but some say the way schools are responding is creating new problems. >> i did everything a rape victim is supposed to do. i reported it. i allowed the rape kit to be taken. i gave a statement. >> this september, 19-year-old delaney robbins came forward alleging the university of north carolina refused to act after she was sexually assaulted. >> six months later the university has done nothing. >> six months of on-campus investigation run by administrators she says lacked basic knowledge of sexual assault and showed bias in favor of her alleged attacker, a star player on the unc football team. fed up, she finally took action on her own and was able to secure a warrant for misdemeanor charges of sexual battery and assault. artis denies the charges. >> everything was completely consensual that happened that night. >> delaney's family says a case this serious should have been handled differently.

is a crime and should be investigated by a professional and capable police department. >> but on college campuses, cases like delaney's often are not handled by police but by schools, in a process that varies from campus to campus and that a growing number of students say is unjust. >> there is someone out there who has attacked me and will probably attack someone else and i live with that. >> do you blame harvard for that? >> i do. >> this student wrote a powerful arti alleging she was raped. >> he threw my head into a wall. when i kind of came to, he had me bent over his bed. >> a rape kit exam affirmed he had been assaulted but didn't feel comfortable going to the police. >> the police is an extremely brutal process. >> after talking to friends who had been through harvard's on-campus trial, she decided

at least if you go to the police, you know the procedures. at a school, you don't really know. it's this murky unknown. >> presided over, she says, by an unqualified jury. >> they're a mix of faculty, alumni. they're definitely not trained specifically for sexual assault cases. >> does that seem like a credible justice process to you? >> no, it doesn't. >> she decided not to pursue charges on campus or off. harvard responded saying our procedures fell short and we are deeply sorry. >> we're g do a better job of preventing and responding to sexual assault on their campuses. >> the u.s. government responding to an epidemic of sexual assaults actually mandates that schools establish these on-campus trials or risk losing federal funding. some say these trials give survivors an important alternative. >> the reality is we know that law enforcement and our criminal courts have not gotten this right for decades. >> but other experts say the

system. >> under pressure from the department of education office for civil rights, schools across the country have thrown due process out the window. >> janet hallie is one of two dozen harvard professors who wrote an open letter protesting that college's process. >> in criminal court, defense has a right to the lawyer, to all the information, to a jury of their peers. from the on-campus proceedings. >> she says the government is pressuring schools to deliver quick guilty verdicts and demanding they use a loose burden of proof, not beyond a reasonable doubt, just more likely than not, creating problems for alleged victims and for alleged perpetrators. >> this experience changed our lives. >> the university of north dakota investigated sherri

his conduct. >> it was literally a joke of a hearing. >> the dean of students and a university lawyer quickly found him guilty and expelled him. >> he dropped to the floor and sobbed. >> after the police investigated, they charged his accuser with filing a false report and issued a warrant for her arrest. despite that, the school refused to overturn their decision for more than a year. >> that was really unamerican. >> she now runs a group of concerned mothers called families advocating for campus equality. other students are taking schools to court. >> you wouldn't think that you would be treated so unfairly going into it, but, you know, you don't know until it's too late. >> john doe maintains he only had consensual sex with a student who accused him of misconduct at uc san diego. >> she was sitting across from

so i couldn't see her. she was drawing sympathy from the panelists. >> that panel suspended him for a year. >> for people watching at home who say the bigger problem is victims of sexual assault not getting justice. >> i would agree there are more victims and less who are falsely accused, but the bottom line is there are a lot who are falsely accused and schools don't know how to handle it and decide to overcorrect. >> john doe sued and a judge ruled his constitutional right d uc san diego is appealing the decision, but said they cannot comment on specific allegations. there are dozens of similar lawsuits working their way through the courts right now. >> i think we're at the point of institutionalizing and hardening into our system things that are unfair both to the accuser and the accused. we're going to look back on this and we're going to say we regret it. >> while harvard was able to respond because that student was

privacy laws. the university of north carolina did say they have instituted reforms they think will encourage survivors to come forward and that is the goal here, to address a very real threat that very often goes unreported. the question is do these campus tribunals as they're being implemented now help or are they potentially raising all sorts of new problems. >> i think what you raised really well is this seems not to be working for the accusers or the accused. and that's a huge problem. >> really difficult questions around this. to who have been in this situation say their advice is get a lawyer, go to the police as quickly as you can. now, we all know that the justice system can be a hostile environment for accusers so for people who have these allegations, that can be a tough, tough decision, but there are a lot of experts who say fix the broken judicial system. >> sometimes it's a matter of looking at not palatable options and trying to choose the best of those. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. still to come, ever feel

i've never heard my dad curse. and i remember he was just yelling at everybody and the cursing coming out of his mouth. i was like, oh, my dad saying stuff like that. >> have you ever cursed in front of your kids? >> yes. >> what do you say? >> do what i do, not what i say. i've got a tip jar there. >> i want to know what you guys think of this. president obama, been in office almost eight years now, still finding ways to surprise us. i want you to see a he walks over to shake hands with a group of people. he removes his wedding ring in one swift motion. some people speculating because he shakes hands sometimes with both hands when there's a large crowd, he doesn't want to risk losing the ring. >> i've never seen that before. >> have you ever -- you know what it might be. let me sang your hand, when someone squeezes, it hurts. maybe it's a pain problem.

slip off or something. >> maybe he lands in vegas and those were all magicians he was shaking hands with. >> i thought you were going to go somewhere else with that. i didn't know where you were going with that. what happens in vegas, stays in vegas. >> come on, it's the president. >> now it's magicians. >> i'm just the only one who said it. >> let's check in with al. he's currently on the mend. he has had his second knee replacemen al, good morning. there you are. >> hi, buddy! >> hey, guys. how are you? >> how do you feel? >> you know, i feel better than i thought. i had my left knee done 15 years ago and it was brutal when i woke up the next morning. this time around i feel pretty good, i really do. there's some swelling, a little pain, but really not bad. >> is it the same knee that got

knee. >> al, you had a teddy bear keeping you company, right? >> i did. lela brought me sam. >> cute. >> so i spent the night with sammy, which was very nice. it almost got -- the operation almost got off to a bad start because we are actually going to do a story on this. deborah came with me and i forgot to tell her coming. >> not a good move. >> she said you might have let me -- i might have combed my hair. >> al, two quick questions. how long will you be in there and how does it feel to be charlie weaver in the hollywood squares right now? >> well, i will tell you, i think i'll be out friday at the latest. >> cool. >> and do a lot of intensive physical therapy.

but our family is super close. i think for us it's a wake-up call for all of us, but definitely just to make sure -- >> and to not share as much anymore. maybe things have changed a lot? >> just make sure that we're protected as well as possible. but, you know, like i said, we're family. we'll do this together and i think it is important to maybe make those adjustments and pull back a little bit is always smart. >> as you can imagine, staying off social media part of that brand is what they do. some have estimated they could lose up to a million dollars per month during such a blackout. maroon 5 dropping a new single called "don't want to know" and it's their first new music since 2014. ??

friday we're going to give you your first look at the highly anticipated music video called "don't wanna know." >> janet jackson officially confirming she's pregnant. janet saying we thank god for our blessing. she announced in april that she would be postponing her world tour to focus on family. her exciting announcement when the latest issue of "people" hits newsstands on friday. sir roderick stewart. the music legend has been officially been knighted by prince william performing at the ceremony at buckingham palace. stewart receiving the high honor for his services in both music and charity over the past 60 years. his wife and two sons also attended the big ceremony and later on he even got to meet queen elizabeth. stewart said he is on cloud nine following that experience. >> i'm not sure we even understand the significance of that in this country here.

deal. >> how cool is that. he's got the sword -- >> none of us will ever be knighted. >> that's true. >> for a lot of reasons. >> very cool. >> carson, thank you. dylan, a check of the weather. >> we've got a big cooldown to talk about, especially back through the midwest. yesterday in minneapolis/st. paul area it was in the mid-70s. today temperatures will be in the 40s. bismarck 46, dodge city 60 yesterday. 56 in kansas city. that cool air will spread eastward tomorrow. chicago not too bad today but tomorrow only in the 50s. same for cleveland. so well below average for this time of year. with this front will come a couple of scattered showers and storms. some could produce heavier downpours, all that lightning too. out ahead of the front it will be a delightful day. lots of sunshine, temperatures in the 60s and 70s. we're also waiting for tonight

move into the pacific northwest, >> and don't forget you can get your forecast any time on the weather channel. >> announcer: red, white and you is sponsored by amazon. >> that's right. now a little something new we are calling "red, white and you" as we count down to election

privacy and it's connected to the presidential race. jo kent is here to explain. >> you guys, 27 days left in this election and the campaigns are going into overdrive on facebook and across social media hoping to win your vote, those millennial votes, through online ads. what you may not know is they're able to target you down to where you live and what you like to do. here's how it all works. he spends an hour a day scrolling, liking and commenting. each move you make is a data point. facebook is scooping up more than just your age, location and relationship status. working with retail brands and political campaigns to gather more than 50 personal things about you, including how long you've lived in your home, how many credit lines you have, which groceries you buy, what kind of medication you're using. >> i was a bit freaked out by it for sure. >> tyler woods has been on facebook for eight years. lately he feels like political ads are following him around.

information is being sold or spread to parties or entities that you have no idea, it loses that sense of trust that you feel in the medium. >> data like tyler's is especially useful as political campaigns spend an estimated $1.2 billion on digital ads this election cycle. >> i'm donald trump and approve this message. >> i can look at a zip code and tailor interests in that zip code. you can address those people with a message that will resonate. >> d >> these might be people interested in coal issues. >> he runs a digital ad firm and targeted facebook ads alone have helped his candidates move up in the polls and are much cheaper than tv commercials. >> this is live or die for politicians. so being able to know exactly where they are and motivate them to the polls is totally essential. >> the hillary clinton campaign says it's spending $30 million on digital ads between now and election day. >> we face big challenges, but

>> on facebook we're in competition for your attention with your best friend, your spouse, your kids. if we're not able to produce a message or a video or whatever it is that's actually compelling, you know, you know perfectly well that you can scroll past it real quick to any other thing on the internet. >> both campaigns match voter information with your facebook data to get out the vote. donald trump's campaign also uses his huge twitter following, gathering personal data from twitter and matching it to find you on ads. >> donald trump for president. >> when mr. trump sends out a tweet and his tweets are retweeted or he's tweeted out, we're able to pool that data and use it. >> privacy advocates call facebook's ad platform the surveillance business model. every click you make will impact what you see in the future. >> it means that when you're going on facebook, you're likely going to be presented with ads and information that are based on what your patterns have done in the past. it's not neutral.

>> and digital right experts say that all that stored data could be made more available to the government and to hackers. and the more that's collected, the more it's a target. so we reached out to facebook who responded that their ad model is standard for the industry and they recently made it easier to adjust your ad preferences, go into your settings. privacy experts say you can install programs to block third-party cookies but demanding more fro sites like facebook. but the question is even if a lot of people demand it, will facebook deliver. that's the question. >> it's a political campaign, it's retailers, there's a lot of emphasis on mining that data for sure. >> absolutely. and retailers are just as intense about it as political campaigns. >> thank you. by the way, you can see more of our "red, white and you" series on the nbc news app on amazon fire tv. let's go over to carson talking politics in the orange room. >> we have a very first look at

"wired" magazine as you can see here. this issue is titled "frontiers" and guest edited by president obama marking the first time any sitting u.s. president has guest edited a major media publication. within the pages the president touches on everything from landing people on mars to developments in precision medicine. readers will also find obama's personal essay discussing his legacy and how he sees the world. now, when writing about the opportunity to guest edit,ba myself in the possibility of interplanetary travel, i'm going to say yes, i would love this, always have. obama also suggested lists for movies, music and reading. for sci-fi movies he recommends "2001 a space odyssey" because it captures the scale of the unknown. he also says all future leaders should read these, the collected works of abraham lincoln.

find "let's get it started," and "get me bodied" by beyonce. it's called "frontiers" and will be on stands october 25th. pretty cool, guys. back to you. >> remember that night in vegas? remember that? you were crazy! you were crazy. you, i've never seen you like that. we're hanging out with kevin hart and jon hamm coming up. both have funny new projects. we'll talk about that and a live perfnc first, your local news and weather. then there was london. london was you. >> you know exactly what i'm

?? ?? ?? it is 8:30 now.

a beautiful day on our plaza and just ahead we have a jam-packed half hour. we have one republic inside getting to play first sounding fabulous, i might add. hi, ryan. >> a real treat tomorrow, throwback thursday, barry gibb will be here to perform one of the bee gees' biggest hits. >> that will be good and our friend jon hamm on playing the spy in his new movie and why his co-star says he's frustrating to work with in course. >> we never know what to expect and we know we'll get a good laugh and our buddy kevin hart is here and we'll chat with him coming up. >> and katie lee has a new spin on lasagna that is perfect for the fall. >> perfect fall weather and it should be a nice sunny one across the northeast, but we do have a couple of scattered showers and storms back through the great lakes and stretching into the midwest today. the cold front cooling things down big time back through areas

20 to 30 degrees colder than it was yesterday and that extends all of the way down into northern texas, too. heavy rain, the first of several strong storms hitting the pacific northwest. we could see 15, 20 inches of rain in some areas with the series of storms moving onshore that way and hurricane-force winds and scattered showers in the northeast tomorrow and also

you got very excited when you heard we were going to talk to the crowd. >> what do you want to talk about. >> i love new york, but we're going down to florida. >> that's a good place to go. >> isn't that where all new yorkers go? >> thank you very much for being here. >> savannah? >> dylan, thank you. suave, charming, daring are some of the ways to describe jon hamm. do you want to add an adjective? >> no. he plays moves with his suburbs and when he is with his neighbor john galafiniakis. >> this is his first time. thank you. >> i think -- two? >> whatever he's having. >> coming up. >> should i know what zezu is? >> i don't think you should.

it's a very exotic beverage that zack's character overindulges in and hilarity ensues. >> your character would order the zezu because he's charismatic. >> he blows his own glass and has a secret life. he's a spy independent. >> yes, in fact. there's more than meets the eye to our friend tim jones and that's the big reveal in this characters into the spy game and. >> one of the things i like about your characters is he kind of longs for the suburban life, doesn't he? >> yes. >> he wants to tinger in the garage with his neighborhoods. >> he wants friends. you know, he wants to have some friends that don't shoot at him all of the time and that was kind of what we talked about

movie. well, what's the difference here? what are we talking about? what if a guy who had seemingly had it all is lonely and wanted a pal? i have so many questions and i didn't know indoor skydiving existed. >> it is remarkably painful. zack and i did it. not only do you get busted around, you are getting held up by essentially 140 mile a winds that's blowing my 200 pounds as much as they can up in the air and it is painful. it's fun. >> one of the things i liked learning when i read about the movie was that you and zach go way back. >> we do. >> way before either of you was famous. >> we do, yeah. when i first came to l.a. in 1995 zach and i -- i would go see comedy shows because it was cheap, and didn't have to stand in line. >> good, clean fun. >> yeah. no one else did so you would

night out and that was when people like zach and pat oswald was also in the film, sarah silverman and all these guys were doing this one specific comedy night and it was a fun night and that's how zach and i met and that was 20-some odd years ago. which means we're all officially old. >> you know what? look what's happened to you now. >> i know. >> one of the things zach says a lot and it's true. he pays you a compliment and he not like actor funny, but just funny and it's irritating because you do look the way you do. it's want fair. >> he's calling me irritating. >> think the quote is frustrating. >> he's frustrated with you. >> that's fine. zach could be frustrating, too. >> maybe he doesn't know the burden of being you.

there's nothing fun they happens in there. >> the guy got his foot chopped off with the lawn mower. >> that is hilarious. that is just a side of you that if people know you from mad men they don't know that you actually have this whole other plussel you can flex. >> it's nice to get the opportunity to that, i guess. it's nice to have both sides of it and part of the reason why i wanted to do the film was not only get a chance to work with zach who is a friend and is super funny and opportunity to do the goofy things and shoot guns and float around in weird tubes, but to get a chance to work with isla and gal who are both amazing, as well. we all had really great chemistry. it was a really fun shoot. >> it is fun. it is a fun movie. you should go see lorne. i loved it when you did snl. >> you guys have a weird thing that sends you right up to the

would get a lollipop that would come back. >> stand by, we'll put you in. jon hamm, stand by. "keeping up with the joneses" is out october 31st. >> i like that look, kevin.

we're back now, 8:40. "rolling hart's first stand-up mogul. he performed in front of 53,000 people in philadelphia, the first comedian ever to perform in an at-capacity football stadium, well documented in his new stand-up movie called "kevin hart what now." and in his new routine, he spares no one, not even his 7-year-old. >> he puts trash in the trash can. out of nowhere, my son takes off running. running as fast as he can.

see what he was running from. i shut the door. i told myself depending on what it was was going to determine if i open up the door or not when he got back. if it was something crazy, i'm just going to put my hand on the glass and say, son, touch the glass one last time. >> your own son? you're vicious, man. >> it's called good parenting. >> how are you? >> i'm good, man. good to see you. >> good to see you. what did it hit you standing on that stage, a kid from philadelphia, grew up with some challenges in my family, former shoe salesman, 53,000 people paid money to watch me tell jokes. >> i mean, look, it's an unbelievable feeling. you know what, i brought it to philadelphia for a reason. that's where i was born and raised. i am the man i am today because of the city of philadelphia. so to be able to go back to my hometown and make history, sell out the lincoln financial stadium, it's unreal.
