the man jumps to safety, then comes to his partner's aid as the crocodile makes a beeline for her. nobody was seriously hurt. and field of dreams? the world series heads back to cleveland. the indians one win from their first championship in 68 years. the cubs hoping to hang on and keep their own historic title hopes alive "today," tuesday, november 1st, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on this tuesday morning. i know what you're going to be doing on tuesday night. >> going to be watching the game. they call it the fall classic. game time temperature about 68 degrees in cleveland tonight. it is going to be fantastic. i will be groggy in the morning. >> translation -- grumpy. >> by the way, that's the man

who's going to the game tonight, taking off right after the show. we'll talk and curse al roker in just a little while. let's start with politics though. in one week the polls will be open. let's get right to the state of the race. seven days to go. this morning the fbi is poring through thousands of e-mails found on anthony weiner's laptop looking for any connection to the ongoing investigation into hillary clinton. >> despite that newest e-mail controversy, our newest nbc news/survey monkey online poll shows clinton holding a six-point lead. >> with time quickly running out, both campaigns are if high gear today. trump has two rallies in states like pennsylvania and wisconsin. clinton makes three stops in florida. she's keeping her powerful surrogates busy as well with president obama, vice president biden and senator bernie sanders all on the campaign trail for her. nbc national correspondent peter alexander starts us off this morning. peter, good morning. >> reporter: matt, savannah, good morning to you. an hour from now, campaign aides tell me donald trump and his

running mate mike pence will go on offense, attacking what they describe the disastrous obamacare premium hikes. on twitter this morning trump is again attacking hillary clinton over her e-mails, as we've learned that investigators have made a duplicate of that hard drive from the laptop belonging to anthony weiner and they are now going through it. >> reporter: battered by donald trump's criticism about her latest e-mail issue -- >> what is in those e-mails is absolutely devastating. >> reporter: hillary clinton's now looking to get back on offense, taking aim at trump's alleged coziness with russia. >> donald trump should immediately disclose all of his ties and connections to the kremlin and its associates. >> reporter: after the top senate democrat, harry reid, accused fbi director james comey of having a double standard, for refusing to release "explosive information" regarding trump's ties to russia, nbc news has learned the fbi has launched a preliminary inquiry into former

trump campaign manager paul manafort's foreign business connections. handwritten records, according to "the new york times," show manafort was to be paid $12.7 million in cash for representing a pro-russian politician in ukraine. while the fbi did not to nbc news' comments for inquiry, a spokesperson for manafort says it is not true. "trump has no knowledge of any of his past or present activities." also attacking the fbi director for a "blatant double standard," the clinton campaign highlighting a cnbc report citing one former federal official who says comey did not want the fbi to be the federal agency disclosing russia's role in recent hacking because he was concerned it could influence the election. trump now defending comey. >> i really disagreed with him. i was not his fan, but i'll tell you what, what he did, he brought back his reputation. >> reporter: while intensifying his attacks on clinton. >> she is a terrible example for my son and for the children in this country. >> it comes as the fbi this morning is analyzing the thousands of e-mails found on a laptop belonging to clinton aide huma abedin and her estranged husband anthony weiner.

the long-time clinton aide is mystified by the presence on her laptop. overnight released abedin had not been contacted by the give, but vows to remain forthcoming and cooperative. meanwhile, with just a week until the election, clinton remains defiant. >> i am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my e-mails for the last year. there is no case here. >> this morning there is a new poll out from this key battleground state of that seem to show donna brazile, the interim head of the democratic national committee, and a former cnn contributor, tipping off clinton about a debate question before her network's debate. >> who cares about donna brazile? who cares. what i care about is, hillary clinton gets the questions to a debate. that's a big deal. >> new this morning, this new poll from this battleground

state of pennsylvania showing hillary clinton still up double digits over donald trump, 11 points. worth noting much of the poll was completed before the fbi announcement about its latest e-mail review, and as republicans, mike pence and donald trump are trying to get members of their party to come home and support their ticket. new evidence at least one republican leader is staying away, a spokesperson for john kasich telling nbc news that kasich has submitted his ballot, absentee, writing in his friend john mccain. matt and savannah, back to you. >> peter alexander starting us off, thank you. >> let's bring in steve kornacki and nicolle wallace. you've been on campaigns and in this position a week to go before election day. do campaigns view that amount of time as an eternity or a nanosecond? >> well, somewhere in between. i know you're getting sick of that answer, but here's how political information is being processed.

even if you have a debate where 84 million people watch, sometimes, it is the coverage of said debate and sometimes it is the facebook posts about the coverage about the debate. there is about a 72-hour window for political information to sink in and be processed and be judged. after about thursday or early friday, it is very hard to introduce new arguments into this campaign cycle. >> we are going to look more deeply into our poll with steve in a moment. you can show us what the pre-comey, post-comey effect was, if anything. but i guess the question is, do you think it dampens the enthusiasm of perhaps republicans who were thinking about holding their nose and voting for hillary clinton? are they now coming home, as donald trump and mike pence are trying to encourage them to do? >> there are some indications. this even predates the whole comey thing. there were some indications that republican voters who had been sort of hold-outs were taking a new look in the final stretch of campaign and maybe coming to the conclusion, at the end of the day, i got to be with my party on this. this might hasten all of that. we spend so much time thinking whose mind is going to be

changed. maybe that's not the right question here as much as it is who is going to be more motivated because of this. i can see that happening for republicans. >> how much does attitude of a candidate come into play now? isn't it true that a candidate in the final days needs to start to project positivity? in other words, a sense that we're doing well, and then perception becomes reality for voters? >> yeah. listen, this may be another one of the bygone traditions of presidential politics. you typically pull your negative ads down in a final weekend. you typically turn toward a positive, affirmative message but there's nothing normal about this candidacy. a, i don't know a lot of republicans recognize home with a head lamp and a map. it doesn't look like anywhere we've ever seen before. and it speaks to his deficit. i think upwards of 90% of democrats are behind their nominee. he struggled to get beyond 75% of republicans. so it makes an interesting case for the map that he's chosen. he's in states where he is not on offense. he has a big gap. it might get to your question

what is he projecting. is he simply projecting strength? >> it wouldn't be a fun political segment if we didn't send steve over to the wall. looking at this tracking poll nbc conducts for survey monkey. what does it show us? >> peter mentioned the headline. 47%-41%. that's where the race stands right now. of course the big question is last week, this is a weekly tracking poll. they're out there every day taking the poll. you can see last week before that announcement from the fbi, they were finding 47%-41% clinton. then those two days after the announcement, 47%-41%. so absolutely no immediate impact in terms of the polling here. bottom not dropping out for hillary clinton as a result. >> i'm going to go way, way out on a limb here. i'm going to suggest that perhaps whether people see the comey letter as a distraction or a significant might fall along party lines. >> you would be amazed to know how divided this country is. first of all, there is the overall question -- is it important or a distraction. slight majority saying important. if you are a democrat, 83% say that's just a distraction. it's not important. if you are a republican,

complete opposite. if there is a silver lining here for trump at all, if you look at independent voters, they are more likely to say it is important. maybe a bit of an opening there for him. >> steve and nicolle, thank you, as always. let's talk now about a frightening scene in alabama when a gasoline pipeline exploded killing at least one worker. this happened near the site of a rupture back in september that led to gas shortages across the south. this morning that pipeline is shut down once again. nbc's gabe gutierrez has the latest on this. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. roads here are still blocked off, and authorities have managed to contain the blaze, but are now waiting for it to burn itself out. analysts like aaa expect prices at the pump to be affected after alabama's second major pipeline disruption in less than two months. >> oh, my god, it was growing so fast. >> reporter: this morning, authorities in alabama are

scrambling to find out how much this massive explosion might impact the nation's gas supply, the blast sending flames and thick smoke soaring over shelby county. >> we're going to evacuate the command area. >> reporter: firefighters rushed to contain the blaze as it burned dozens of acres in an area already plagued by severe drought. >> chief, i'm going to need three engines, 1,000 gallons onboard. >> reporter: overnight colonial, the company that owns the pipeline, confirmed one worker was killed, five others injured. the company says an excavator they were using hit the gas line igniting the fire. eyewitness larry garner was among the first on the scene and saw one worker covered in flames. >> picked up one man that was working down there and brought him up there and washed the gas off of him, send him on to the hospital. >> reporter: the explosion happened just miles from the site of a pipeline leak just a few weeks ago. that incident caused gas shortages and sent pump prices soaring across the southeast. line stretches from texas to new

york harbor supplying 40% of the east coast fuel. overnight colonial said our deepest condolences go out tonight to the family and friends of the person who was lost. >> our crews are moving here now to set up an incident and command post and will be responding to all the resources available to them. but in any kind of situation like this, you can never feel comfortable until it is over. >> reporter: that pipeline remains shut down. it is unclear for how long. gasoline futures rose significantly in overnight trading, and again, analysts predict that could mean higher prices at the pump in the coming weeks across a large swath of the country. matt and savannah? >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. now to a halloween night tragedy. it happened in rural mississippi. two children and one adult were killed, several others suffered life threatening injuries when a truck plowed into a halloween hayride. this happened in newton county about 80 miles east of jackson. all ten victims were on a trailer being pulled by another

vehicle. it is unclear what caused this crash and so far, police say there have been no arrests. we are hearing for the first time the voice of omar mateen, the gunman responsible for the largest mass shooting in u.s. history. orlando police released new audio recordings on monday from the pulse nightclub massacre that occurred back on june 12th. on the chilling 911 tapes, mateen explains to a police crisis negotiator his reasons behind the deadly rampage. >> can you tell me where you are right now so i can get you some help? >> no. because you have to tell america to stop bombing syria and iraq. they are killing a lot of innocent people. >> a s.w.a.t. team swarmed in about three hours after the initial 911 call. they killed mateen. in all, 49 victims were killed, 53 wounded. a judge will now decide whether to release more than 200 other calls recorded during that rampage. breaking overnight, a

transit strike in philadelphia could have a big effect on election day. more than 4,700 septa workers walked off the job at midnight after they could not reach a contract agreement. subway, bus and trolley service were brought to a halt. nearly 60,000 kids use septa to get to school every day. with election day just one week septa may seek an injunction to forcing strike workers back on the job if there is no resolution by next tuesday. anticipation is high in cleveland and chicago for tonight's pivotal game six of the world series. the indians have a chance to close things out and win their first title in 68 years. they could do it at home. for the cubs, it is a must-win to force game seven. nbc's ron mott is at progressive field in cleveland. ron, good morning. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning to you. the fans here in cleveland, pretty confident about their team's chances going into game six tonight with a 3-2 series

advantage, but cubs fans not quite ready to concede just yet, and the pressure on these two teams is enormous. >> it's nerve racking. >> the anguish, the anxiety, the anticipation. this world series has been exhilarating and exhausting for fans of both clubs. narrowly missing a three-game sweep of the cubs at wrigley field to take the crown, the tribe's back home in cleveland on a quest -- win one and it's done. >> it's been a long time. >> it couldn't be a better match-up. >> reporter: chicago transplant sean latell is holding out hope. is there any one team more deserving than to win this thing? >> absolutely the cubs. >> reporter: naturally, the indians are the talk of the town ahead tonight's game six. one caller after another on sports talk radio virtually certain a championship is headed their way. another cleveland champ, lebron james, tweeting -- one more, boys. and history is on their side. the last team to battle back 3-1 games to win it on the road was the 1979 pittsburgh pirates.

only five clubs in baseball history have ever done it, home or away. still, the cubs are focused yet loose. team president theo epstein handing out candy. manager joe maddon showing up to work in this, while their smallest fans scribble well wishes on the bricks outside wrigley. >> i wrote "go cubs." >> meantime, indians super fan, 104-year-old emily known simply at nana, is gearing up yet again with a pointer or two for her guys. >> i want them to steal more bases. >> i want to play for her. for tickets to tonight's game, a home run for sellers. stubhub says the average price for a resold ticket, $1,400. the high, $11,000, and the prices only go up from there for game seven, if there is a game seven tomorrow night. matt, savannah, al? >> thank you very much. you are going to fly out to cleveland after the show. you're going to carry tickets in

a briefcase. >> absolutely. then maybe go see nana. i got to do it. it's hard to believe how warm it's actually going to be for this game. we're talking about game six tonight. 69 degrees, november 1st in cleveland. if there is a game seven, we've got some late game showers and a temperature possibly of 70 degrees! that's crazy. wide, big area of high pressure pushes the jet stream up to the north. you have this strong high pushing that warm air up into the midwest. we've got the risk of some real warm streaks going. new orleans, three days in a row of record-breaking temps. four days of birmingham and montgomery. atlanta, three days and the hits just keep coming. could set a record today in atlanta. montgomery, mobile, new orleans and birmingham. and as we move into the upper midwest, cincinnati 82. louisville could see a record. same with nashville and memphis. it stretches out west as well from roswell, little rock, on into wichita. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

sunday. weather. >> all right, al, thank you very much. just ahead -- donald trump and hillary clinton going nuclear. raging battle over who you should trust with america's security. and are you too trusting when you hop into one of those ride sharing services like uber or lyft? why police say that driver may not be who you think. but first on a tuesday morning, this is "today" on nbc.

showers to the south and east. decreasing showers around the south bay hilltops through about noon and partly cloudy skies later today. highs upper 60s san jose, mid 60s san francisco into the north bay. from here the temperatures are actually going to climb for the second half of the week. close to 70s inland on friday. next chance of showers late saturday into sunday. mike? >> a pretty smooth drive around the bay bridge. earlier crash has cleared from treasure island, a second incident backing you up at the toll plaza. meanwhile over here in the south bay, earlier crash 101 looks like it may have cleared from tully. 85 jamming up approaching 17 where that crash in hamilton is in the middle of the roadway. they'll need two flatbed tow trucks. this could be a big problem for the south bay. slower down the eastshore freeway. look at the span for the bay bridge. may have slowed down the metering lights complicating things off 580 and 24 coming out

we're we're back now, 7:30 on a tuesday morning. 1st day of november, 2016. morning after halloween. no candy coma for our energetic crowd. >> present company excluded. >> and my kids excluded. we will be outside saying had i in just a couple minutes. >> here is a look at the headlines this morning. overnight iraqi troops trying to make tack mosul from isis entered that city for the first time in more than two years. officials are telling us they are being met with heavy resistance from isis fighters and are facing difficult house to house fighting. hillary clinton tried to throw cold water on the fbi's review of those newly discovered e-mails that could be related to her use of a private server.

if they want to look at more e-mails of one of my staffers by all means go ahead, look at them and i know they will reach the same conclusion they reached when they looked at my e-mails last year. >> meantime the fbi has launched a preliminary inquiry into donald trump's former campaign manager. it's focused on his foreign business connections. and our latest nbc news survey monkey on line poll that was conducted in the days before and after the comey announcement shows her maintaining a 6 point lead over trump. that is virtually unchanged since last week. in today's campaign moment, a changing of the guard on social media. the white house has just announced that when president obama leaves office he will also leave behind the @potus twitter account and hand it over to his successor. that person will inherit the more than 11 million followers. president obama, mean while,

will get a new account called @potus 44, similar new accounts will be created for the first lady and the vice president. in the meantime the clinton campaign is out with a new ad in the last week of the race and it's raising some eyebrows. nbc's hallie jackson has more on that. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi there, matt. good morning. with just seven days to go hillary clinton is trying to hammer home her argument that donald trump is simply too dangerous to be commander in chief. by referencing one of the most famous and scariest political ads ever, an ad the trump campaign is brushing off as just a distraction from they say clinton's own controversies. >> an already explosive campaign now going nuclear. in a matter of speaking. >> bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. >> one, two -- >> reporter: the clinton team turning to this black and white ad from the height of the cold war.

a mushrooming attack that's now part of a new on air war. clinton playing off perhaps the most famous presidential ad of all time, it starred this three-year-old. >> this was me in 1964, the fear of nuclear war we had at children i never thought our children would ever have to deal with that again. >> reporter: now in the final week of the campaign clinton is trying to capitalize on the concerns some have about trump in the oval office, reinforcing her message on tv, on stage this week. >> even the prospect of an actual nuclear war doesn't seem to bother donald trump. good luck. enjoy yourselves, folks, is what he had to say about a potential nuclear conflict. >> reporter: here is what donald trump actually said to cnn in march about more u.s. allies getting nuclear weapons. >> we're better off frankly if south korea is going to start to protect itself. >> saudi arabia. >> saudi arabia, absolutely. >> reporter: and with msnbc's

chris matthews. >> i would never take any of my cards off the table. >> how about europe. >> i'm not going to take it off the table. >> reporter: a month later trump today matt and savannah on "today." >> i will be the last to use nuclear weapons, it's a horror to use nuclear weapons. >> reporter: the trump campaign calling clinton's new ad a sad and pathetic attempt to change the subject away from the criminal investigation into her illegal e-mail server. some trump supporters insisting it's clinton who is actually more dangerous. more irresponsible. like mark who remembers the original lbj ad. >> it's a powerful thing. >> do you think it's equally powerful for hillary clinton. >> i think it's just another one of her tricks. >> reporter: our latest nbc news "wall street journal" poll shows more people believe clinton would be a better commander in chief than trump, 52% to 32%. although we should note that that poll was taken before friday's fbi e-mail news. matt, savannah.

>> hallie jackson, thank you. our news this morning about bill cosby. he heads back to court for a key hearing for the sexual assaults charges against him. stephanie gosk is at the courthouse for us in pennsylvania this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. bill cosby walked into court today guided by a long time aide. he is here for the first round of pretrial hearings to argue that his case be thrown out, that the charges against him are unconstitutional. among his lawyers other arguments that the 79-year-old is now nearly blind and the victim of racism. >> do you want to say anything? >> reporter: boss blee's lawyers now say that his client is legally blind and that his memory is fading him it impossible to defend himself against charges. cosby's lawyers referred to 13 other alleged victims who are ready to testify in the case to

establish what prosecutors call a pattern of behavior dating back to the 1960s. in court documents the defense argues mr. cosby cannot even determine whether he has ever even seen some of his accusers let alone develop defenses. cosby has never been charged with any crimes based on their accusations and denies the claims. in a motion filed late monday the defense said the 13 women in question are unreliable and fail to demonstrate a signature pattern of conduct. the defense also believes cosby is a victim of racism. in court documents lawyers argue that when the at least 50 women accusing cosby of sexual assault or misconduct started coming forward, the public jumps into a mob, willing to believe unsubstantiated decades old allegations against an african-american citizen. >> he thought an absolute generation of americans to trust in america, to trust in america regardless of who you are or the color of your skin that your

courts and the media will treat you fairly and with decency. that trust has been shaken. >> what about us black women whom he sexually violated? >> we interviewed cosby accuser lily bernard at her home in los angeles and read her parts of the recent court documents. >> they say that this is, quote, a highly publicized crew side against mr. cosby. >> bernard after sex ses cosby of drugging and raping her three times in the early '90s. she never went to authorities and cosby denies the accusations. >> he is paralleling my holding him accountable for his drugging and raping me to his being a vak tim of racism to his being a victim of a modern day lynching. what that does is it den greats the souls of the real heroes in the civil rights movement. >> bernard is not among the 13 with em who may be called to testify. nbc news has learned from court documents and the witnesses themselves that at least two of the women are african-american.

the defense argues that the mostly white ak certificates were chosen to trigger racist sensibilities in the jury. bernard disagrees. >> what is keeping bill cosby out of jail is not the color of his skin it's the power, it's his monetary worth. >> reporter: you can expect to hear a similar argument from the prosecution. they will say that there was not an unconstitutional delay in these charges and that bill cosby has used his name and fortune to in their words, quote, cover up his crimes. savannah. >> stephanie gosk at the courthouse for us. thank you. let us get another check of the weather from mr. roker. >> things a little unsettled out in the midwest as we watch a system start to develop, we are starting to see showers in the upper great lakes and some snow as you get up into canada. a weak frontal system will be pushing through, low pressure will develop along that. later this afternoon. joe every night look for these storms to develop and then pushing on into parts of northern illinois including chicago by late in the afternoon tomorrow and those push toward cleveland in case there is some

late inning activity on thursday for the game or i should say wednesday, they could see some showers. rainfall amounts generally about 1 to 2 inches, but we're basically looking at about a half an inch stretching from missouri all the way on up into clearing from north to south today. clearing skies san francisco to the north bay, but san jose still seeing periods of lighter rain south of downtown to the east side, too. you can see on the radar we're seeing scattered showers rolling through the bay area. for midday, a chance for scattered showers. highs to mid to upper 60s for the south bay. mid 60s san francisco, low 60s half moon bay. things dry out for the second half of the week. next chance for rain after today saturday night into early sunday. weather anytime you need it, go to the weather channel on cable. guys. >> al, thank you. just ahead on trending the one song they say you should listen to to feel instantly less

don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira. humira. what's your body of proof? we're back now at 7:44. we've got a new warning about those popular ride-sharing apps like uber and lyft. >> how much do you real wily kn about your driver? nbc's jo ling kent has more from los angeles. >> it's become almost automatic. order an uber or lyft, see a car pull up, hop in. you trust it is your ride without thinking twice. now new conartists are posing as your ride and that car may not be yours at all. getting a ride has never been so easy. open uber or lyft on your phone, order a car on demand and within

minutes you're off. but fake drivers are rolling up to scam you by price gouging, even robbing passengers at airports, hotels, bars an even your home. >> it was just before 6:00 a.m. >> reporter: in chicago, katherine believes she was almost scammed when she ordered an uber at her house for a pre-dawn ride to the airport. >> i saw a vehicle was parked sitting idle in the middle of the street right in front of our home. all i said to him was, good morning. it's me. he said, oh, go ahead and get on in. so i got in his car. i realized as i was looking at my phone this is not my uber. >> reporter: she said she quickly got out and spotted her real uber two cars away. she called 911. >> i realized something does not feel right. >> reporter: uber confirmed the driver was not theirs. in a letter to the port authority of new york and new jersey, uber says fake drivers have reached crisis levels with over 2,300 illegal trips happening each week at jfk and laguardia airports alone.

with scammers using fake uber signs to lure people into their cars. >> it is tremendously scary. we know from individual complaints we've got where people feel locked in the car. one incident where someone was taken to an atm and the driver demanded that they get more cash because he raised the price. >> reporter: the better business bureau says rogue drivers often prey on people who appear stressed, tired or distracted. >> you ma i let your guard down and fail to check that license plate, nail to check that it is the model vehicle that you should be expecting. >> reporter: uber and lyft, along with safety advocates, recommend always use the app to request a ride and never accept rides from drivers in person. match the actual license plate number with the number on your app. ask your driver who he or she is picking up before getting in. and if you're riding alone, sit in the back seat. >> look out for yourself. you have to have your own back. >> the penalties for posing as an official uber driver or a lyft driver are relatively weak.

now both companies are calling for harsher punishment. usually it is just a small fine. as you order those cars, be sure to have your head up and be careful. matt? savannah? >> good advice, jo. thank you very much. coming up, adele's most candid interview ever. what she's revealing about parenting, personal battles, and more. and what you have been saying about our totally '90s halloween costume reveal. but first, these messages. but first, these messages. well this here's a load-bearing wall. we'll go ahead and rip that out. that'll cause a lot of problems. hmm. totally unnecessary and it triples the budget. we'll be totally behind schedule, right?

it is a chilly one. 1st of november. can you believe it? >> that's right. of course, that always means the return of a scruffy tradition around here. we guys are tossing the razors once again and kicking off no-shave today. >> for carson, that means normal day. this year we partnered up with dr. mehmet oz to take a closer look at important issues affecting men's health so together we commissioned a great survey. more than 1,000 guys. and found 60% of men only go to their doctor when they have some kind of symptoms. they don't go just to prevent illness and disease. we're going to talk about that and much more with dr. oz in a little while. tomorrow on "today," a hollywood legend will be in the house. oscar winner warren beatty. we'll talk about his first movie in 15 years. writing, starring and directing in "rules don't apply." we'll talk about the movie, his break from hollywood and much more tomorrow. >> he's loving his life.

if they want to look at some more e-mails of one of my staffers, by all means, go ahead. look at them. and i know they will reach the same conclusion they reached when they looked at my e-mails last year. right? >> reporter: that staffer, long-time aide huma abedin, the estranged wife of anthony wiener, whose commuter contained the e-mails in question. she is off the trail working out of the campaign's headquarters in brooklyn. >> thank you, huma, thank you anthony weiner. >> reporter: making a play for michigan monday, a traditionally blue state where he is trailing, trump capitalizing on the 11th hour political gift, arguing if clinton wins, she'll be dogged by investigations. >> if hillary is elected, she would be under protracted criminal investigation likely followed by the trial of a sitting president. this is just -- hey, this is just what we need. just what we need. >> reporter: trump also trying to gain traction from hacked

e-mails not authenticated by nbc news seeming to show donna brazile tipping off the clinton campaign about a debate question before the debate. >> who cares about donna brazile? what i care about is hillary clinton gets the questions to a debate. that's a big deal. she is a terrible example for my son and for the children in this country. >> reporter: meanwhile, another development involving the fbi. law enforcement and intelligence sources tell nbc news the fbi has been conducting a preliminary inquiry into donald trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, and his foreign business connections, including what some analysts call disturbing ties to two russian oligarchs. no comment from the fbi. manafort telling nbc news -- none of it's true. there's no investigations going on by the fbi that i am aware of. and this morning, the clinton

campaign accusing director comey of a double standard for not discussing trump's possible ties to russia. as for huma abedin, no word on when she'll be back on the campaign trail but in a statement her lawyer says, "while the fbi has not contacted us about this, ms. abedin will continue to be, as she always has been, forthcoming and cooperative." secretary clinton has three stops in florida today. donald trump starts his day in pennsylvania with a speech about obamacare. >> kristen, thank you very much. breaking news out of maryland where officials are investigating a horrifying crash this morning. at least six people were killed, many others injured when a school bus and city bus collided in southwest baltimore, there were no children on the bus at the time of the accident. emergency vehicles are on the scene caring for people along the side of the road. now to alabama and concerns about the nation's gas supply. on monday a massive explosion rocked a crucial gas pipeline, killed one worker and injured

map. we do have some wet weather making its way into the pacific northwe northwest. plenty of sunshine along the gulf coast and along the right now starting to see clearing from central bay northward to north bay. one of the spots clear south bay, san jose, and foothills. as you can see most of the moisture off to the east. now until lunch time, a risk of a few showers through santa clara valley and hill tops. rest of the afternoon partly cloudy skies and highs in the 60s. upper 60s san jose and trending warmer even for san francisco. could be close to 70 on thursday. mid-70s inland for the end of the week. a few more showers due in early sunday. >> your birthday today? >> yes! 16! >> you're 16? >> yes. 60. >> oh, 60. there you go. well, you look great, either way. >> thank you!

>> matt? >> all right, al. thank you very much. as we mentioned this morning, we're launching no shave today to raise awareness for men's health. we're going to be growing out our facial hair throughout the month of november. we've also partnered with dr. oz to highlight some important issues. first up, testicular cancer. dr. oz, good morning. let's get it out of the way right off the bat. people hear testicular cancer. men, they get embarrassed with be they don't want to talk ba it. it deals with a part of the body they are uncomfortable about. i think 55% of men say this embarrasses them. >> i get it. i tell my patients all the time, you got to be the expert on your body. men shy away, this is an awkward part of the body, things you don't talk about. take a peek at this interesting video. you'll enjoy this. >> it can be pretty hard to get a man's attention. but this is about men's health

which is a pretty big deal. so we've taken the liberty of incorporating some guy stuff in this video to keep you interested. here's three easy steps to check yourself for testicular cancer at home. first, go in the shower. because the steam will relax your scrotum. next, hold each testicle in your hand one at a time between your fingers and your thumbs. feel for hard lumps. smooth or rounded bumps on one side but not the other. if you found any of those or notice a change in size, see your doctor. now you know how to take your health into your own hands. literally. >> that's brilliant. >> put the car in there for jay. >> little slam dunk as well. that's great. 88% of men in our survey that we conducted if conjunction with you said they know they should screen themselves once a month. only 14% say they do.

>> 1 in 5 men are admitting that they don't really know what to do and how to do it. thus, the psa. but it is bigger than that. the fact of the ma earth is we're embarrassed because these are sexual organs. things that have to do with basic bodily function we don't get into. this whole month is about taking care of yourself so you are there for your family. >> what age should men start checking themselves doing self-examinations. >> at around age 15. cancer is incredibly curable. my opinion is start at age 15. many medical societies agree. at least through the next two decades of life. all the good behaviors we adapt we start when we're young. get in the shower and collection it out. >> if you can find this early, incredibly curable especially if it stays localized. >> men are a little clueless on this stuff. we really are intimidated and embarrassed and we shouldn't be. we'll spend some time this week

opening it up to get people a bit baltimore comfortabmore com. >> a good way to remember this is when you see us growing our hair out and looking scruffy, terrible, think i should be doing a self-examination for testicular cancer or prostate cancer, colon cancer. get screened for that. that's what the purpose of the month is. >> it's what a real man does. we put some manly things in the video. mentally take control. it is your destiny. >> carson is in the orange room with more. thanks, matt. to help us kick off our no shave today, mark hedstrom is raising money for men's health charities. good to have you here. thanks so much. you guys do a lot of great work. what specifically -- what specific charities are you raising money for? >> we raise money for the movember foundation. prostate cancer.

we are in 21 countries around the world. we've raised $710 million in 13 years. this is our 13th campaign. >> when people see the mustache, the whole idea of this was for what? for mustache to just be a reminder? >> it is a reminder -- i have a terrible mustache about ten days in. but the point is to start a conversation about men's health. when you see a guy on the street with a ten-day old mustache, you'll start asking a question or they become walking, talking billboards for are men's health. >> mark, thanks so much. we'll be growing our beards and mustaches out this month. if you are, too, send your photos using this hashtag "no-shave today" of course their hashtag is movember. mark, good luck this month. thank you. coming up next, dana carvey is about to leave some lasting impressions on all of us. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

i've never liked marijuana. but i'm voting yes on prop 64 to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and over. it has important safeguards for families, like strict product labeling and child-proof packaging of all marijuana products. and banning edibles that would appeal to a child. raising a teenager, that regulated system makes a lot more sense than what we have now. plus, 64 taxes marijuana to fund priorities like after-school programs. personally, marijuana's not for me. but my mind's made up. i'm voting yes on 64.

we're back now at 8:39 with another installment of "lasting impressions." with dana carvey, just one week to go before the election. you just happen to have a great netflix special this friday. >> don't you love the pharmacy? don't you love the social dynamic of the pharmacy? i just love it. you go in there, everyone's uptight. you know the pharmacist in the white lab coat is dipping into whatever they got back there. there's always an old guy off to the side who's clearly been there all day. did my doctor call? they always know his name because he's there so much. no, bill, he didn't call. try the blood pressure machine again. that's always fun. >> dana, welcome back. >> did dr. oz see that? >> he just walked out of the studio. >> that's wrong! feel free to laugh. >> you've been joining us throughout the campaign.

we've got a week to go. are you finishing strong or are you limping across the finish line? >> i'm like everyone else. it is like a film that will never end. the clintons, what they had was just calm bill down to limp to the finish line. when she started fainting, remember when he went on charlie rose and the more he tried to defend her, the bigger hole he dug? literally. it's not even a bit. charlie, i'll tell you, she does faint a lot. she does. she keels over like that. she just a little itty-bitty thing and she's kind of thick in the bum and thigh which i find adorable. she's built like a little top. if there was some humidity, it's like timber time. i just try to catch her. like stop him! please! >> what does trump need to say to try to woo last-minute voters, especially millennials? >> it will be nasty ombre wall. goodnight. no. there's nothing trump -- he was

supposed to become presidential. it never happened. the only thing -- i've spent the year trying to figure out the appeal of donald trump. and he's a blunt force instrument. so like if your cause is global warming and are you going to the conference, who would you rather have with you than donald trump? he would be like, you know, you stupid countries, okay? you're very, very stupid. okay? you're spewing all this stuff in the air, the air's get egg hot, the grass is getting hot, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. i will be so good with global warming. i'll solve global warming. i'll make co2 pay for it. i can promise you that. i know how to make glaciers. okay, matt? i can make a lot of glaciers. i'll take all the ice from the trump hotel. that's a lot of ice,ky tell you that. i would put it on the carnival cruise ships. i know these people. they're friends of mine. okay? so that's trump. that's why the people who love him love him and the undecideds are in a swamp with a bud light.

>> let me switch subject. yesterday was halloween. i thought i saw you out trick-or-treating last night. were you dressed as jay leno? >> oh, yeah, i was. yeah. can i get some candy? quick impression. jaylen know stubbing his toe. it's not a problem. just walking along. >> i saw you as jerry seinfeld. what is wrong with you people! sorry, feel free. it is free. >> if you saw me as seinfeld and bryant was doing that, you must have seen kathie lee as regis. >> when she was doing regis and regis was gelman, it was like 20 minutes long live television. and she was so good. ready for this, and they kept cutting to regis. i think he fell asleep twice during the thing. i've got a line every nine minutes. when is this going to be over?

ky get a cookie or something? hello, everybody. they were very game. >> last time you were here you regaled us with your microimpression. >> i like these quick-hit impressions. this is bernie sanders as a cross walk guard. don't proceed. don't proceed. the system is rigged. don't proceed. don't proceed. let's see. those are three i thought you'd like. here's george bush sr. afraid to go off the high dive. >> where does that come up? >> it just fits. here it is. camera, you all right? here. george bush sr. afraid to go off the high dive. what time is it? okay, here we go. all right. gotta go. here we are. looking down. looking down. not gonna do it.

[ speaking spanish ] what else can i do? >> you have've done it all.

>> i can do bill clinton eating a peach. >> real quickly. >> oh, this is so sweet. everything sounds sexual when bill says it. by the way, anthony weiner was the only time the premise was the joke in my entire career. anthony weiner tweeted his wiener. that's all you got to know. >>ho wants to have dana carvey back after election? >> we all just have to survive, have a cocktail and ride the wave. >> the netflix special, "dana carv carvey." starting in january, catch him in the residency at the foundry in las vegas. >> hello! up next, holiday gift ideas big and small from the neiman marcus christmas club. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

remember this guy? he's the drug company big shot who raised the price of a lifesaving pill by five thousand percent. said he wished he'd raised it more. prop sixty-one targets drug company price-gouging to save lives. the drug price relief act will save californians nearly a billion dollars a year. join the california nurses association and aarp and vote yes on sixty-one. the drug giants won't like it. and he'll hate it.

than i do. >> look who it is. >> where were you? is i kept looking in the mirror. >> they really started trash talking each other to the point the secret service -- they both go -- they almost hit each other. secret service are going "settle down, settle down. get biden out of that car." >> how did you pull it off? how did you get the two of them to do it? >> colin powell likes to restore old cars. that's what he does in his spare time. joe biden has had that corvette. we did a thing on love affairs with cars. like original owner cars. he got it new in '67. only two payments left. no. he got a new one in '67. he's had it all this time. his son surprised him a couple years ago and restored it. but being vice president he couldn't drive it. we went to the secret service training facility where there are a couple hundred miles of road where you can do whatever

you want. it was great fan. colin powell showed up with his car. >> you've been collecting cars for years. for people who want to get into this, you don't have to spend millions of dollars. >> no. you know, i like the story. sometimes you buy the story. one of my favorite stories, i already owned a hudson hornet. this 94-year-old lady calls me, we bought a hudson hornet new in '51. we drove it from new jersey. my husband died in '96. i want it to go to a new home. i go look at it. it's totally worn out. she says will you give me $5,000 for it? i said okay. i bought it. we took it back to the garage, fixed it up, painted it. about 16 months later, it's done. let me see if she's still alive. hello. she's 96. i said you want to go for a ride in my car? oh, no, i got to get my hair done. she looks 70. no hearing aid, no glasses.

she says account kican the kids? i said sure. the kids are 70 and 72. i go out to the house. they've got her blindfold edbli. they bring her out blindfolded. she sees the car, gets very emotional. she says let's go for a drive, pretend we're driving cross-country in new jersey. now the 70 and 72-year-old are in the back. they start going like this to each other. she turns around and starts slapping the crap out of them. i'll pull this car over! the three of them were laughing. it was so much fun. i go well, that's what it is. it is not a really valuable car. but it is a fun car. it brought back such memories for this woman. then the kids told me when they were teenagers they were ashamed that their dad had this, by that time, 16-year-old car. the dad would drop them off down the block from high school. they would walk to school so the kids wouldn't see their dad had an old car. of course now it is a classic

car. so now it is cool. so that's -- you buy the story. you know? >> that's great, plan. that is great. >> it's a lot of fun. >> jimmy fallon last night, a tag team? can we show what happened? >> this is something jimmy and i do all the time. i jump in on the monologue. we pick a topic. it was the economy. >> forbes came out with its annual list of the 400 richest americans and 200 of them haved of mo back in with their parents. that's how bad! in beverly hills i saw a woman tanning using the sun! that never happens! the economy is so bad that the "today" show, kathie lee and hoda were splitting a 40! i've never seen that! >> that's a good one. man, we missed you. >> given this political season, do you miss the nightly monologue? >> actually, i don't. because it is so ugly. i grew up in the era when clinton was horny and bush was dumb.

it was easy. you weren't questioning people's patriotism or their basic decency. i mean this one, i have to admit, i just thought back to -- anti-muslim, anti-women, it's all anti. it is not pro. everyone, just who do you hate more? everybody hates the other guy more. >> but you are touring. what's your sweet spot? >> you can get a lot of fun jokes. >> what's your sweet spot outside politics right now? >> well, politics is pretty good. >> bill clinton's been out campaigning with hillary. it is not helping. like at one point during the campaign bill stopped to kiss a baby which is normally okay, except the kiss was breastfeeding at the time. >> whoa! jay leno, ladies and gentlemen! >> made it awkward. made it awkward. >> jay leno! new episode to "jay leno's garage." thank you.
