You think people would let it go by now. You know what would help . The cubs getting back to the world series. At 4 00 in the morning, my husband woke me up. He is he puts his jersey on at the top of the fourth inning. Hes the reason. More on the cubbies later. The top story this morning is the race for the white house with the election now 17 days away. Here is the state of the race. Donald trump is promising a big surprise today. Hes expected to layout his plan for the first 100 days in office if elected. Trump will make the announcement on swing states in the runup to the election. She is hitting the trail with tim kaine in philadelphia and pittsburgh. She is using miley cyrus and katy perry. There is a lot to get to this morning. Including an overnight scare in the Hillary Clinton campaign headquarters. Lets start with nbcs jacob rascon. Good morning. Reporter good morning, sheinelle. Four clinton team measures were exposed to a white substance one of the floors of the brooklyn headquarters had to be evacuated. Substance was not harmful. Now top aides to trump are promising a new tone, positive vision and road map with the we will shock the world.

Todays speech in pennsylvania what top aides call his Closing Argument with a top vision with new policy details. We will do something special. Reporter this as polling shows trump slipping in ohio and behind in every other swing state. The movent than polls. A lot of people know it. They say we cant poll this thing. Reporter our nbc news surveymonkey tracking shows this is resonating with republicans. Four in ten say they may not accept the results. Campaigning for Hillary Clinton, Vice President joe biden had strong words for trump over his lewd comments caught on tape. No, i wish i was in high school so i can take him behind the gym.

Lets bring in joy reid. Host of a. M. Reid. And we have a former top adviser to senator rand pauls campaign. Ladies, good lets start with the trump gettysburg address. Here we are about two weeks out. What can he say today that would in any way, shape or form lift his numbers . This is a lastditch effort to show seriousness. This is what he should have conveyed earlier in the campaign. He really missed a critical moment to reassure undecided voters there was substance to him. Now they see that and it is not extended reach. This is grasping at straws. Is it too late . It is too late for a closing statement. You had an audience of 70 Million People and then in the first debate an audience of 80 Million People. This is the only chance you have to talk to the undecided voters. It. I want to get your take here. 45 of Republican Voters are unlikely or definitely not accept the election loss for the candidate. Do you find this surprising . Is trumps rhetoric working . This is the most troubling aspect of the campaign. It is unprecedented for the nominee to signal they would not respect the results of an election. We have never had that happen before. Artent, it is bleeding in the base. What are republicans going to do after november 8th . Will they be beholden to a party in which 40 of the base believes the president of the United States is illegitimate . Surely, how do you see this playing out . I was in arizona conducting focus groups with donald trump suppeorters and undecided. Trump supporters who say they will gore waited until december. If trump thinks something is off, he should be allowed to contest it. They are okay and they see it as fine. They blame the media right now more than they expect a rigged election. They think the media is portraying trump as dead in the water. That is contributing to his demi demise. Joy, is there a risk that they hear all this and look at you dont want to spike the ball before the game is over. And that is a very important point. You are now starting to hear democrats and democratic operatives pushing a message to democratic voters. Wait a minute. This is not over. Dont feel comfortable that you think you can stay home. The difference is the Clinton Campaign has a robust get out the vote effort. They want to make sure every single early voter is out. They are doing the Trump Campaign is smaller in scale. Democrats are aware of the risks of voters thinking it is fine. Elise, early voting. We are spending time talking about november 8th. The reality is 4. 5 Million People cast ballots. What are we seeing . The disturbing trend is early voting, republican turnout is job organizing in early voting. You see that benefits Hillary Clinton. Elise, joy. Thank you for waking up early. You can watch joys show this morning on msnbc. Starts at 10 00 eastern. A huge mystery this morning. Federal investigators are trying to figure out just who is behind a series of coordinated cyber attacks. Attacking popular web sites use every day. Nbcs Gadi Schwartz has the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, stephanie. These attacks are starting to sound something out of a Science Fiction novel. Hijackers connecting devices like dvrs and cameras andnd bab monito and launching them into cyber war. The attacks came in three waves taking down a long list of web more. How can so Many Companies go down in the answer found in a target . Hackers aiming at a Company Called dyn. It acts like an address book and switch board of the internet. This time, hackers deployed the latest weapon in cyber warfare. Virus that effects internet devices like dvrs and Baby Monitors and turns them into and the system like dyn is overwhelmed and crashes. It is unthinkable that a baby monitor could topple twitter. An army of Baby Monitors can knock over the most Important Companies in the world. Reporter Experts Say Companies are manufacturing weak default passwords making them vulnerable. The fact that companies can internet and have the product line turn into a botnet and attack the United States is a problem. Reporter so far, there is a lot of speculation on who is to blame. A senior u. S. Intelligence official now telling nbc news this is a classic case of internet vandalism. It does not appear to be a state sponsored attack. What is clear, a new weapon has been deployed as companies and countries try to prepare f possibility of cyber war. Experts tell us a lot of the devices used in attacks like these are located in vietnam. Right now, the department of Homeland Security and fbi are investigating. Stephanie. Thank you, gadi. Testimony resumes in new jersey in the bridgegate trial. The question is did governor Chris Christie know about the George Washington bridge closures . He says he didnt, but during testimony on friday, one former nbcs tammy leightner is here with more. Reporter good morning, craig. Four of the access lanes were shutdown unexpectedly in 2013 causing a nightmare. And a top aide wrote an email and dropped a bombshell. Testified that the governor knew what was going on despite his repeated said nothing until now. The former deputy chief to governor Chris Christie took the stand friday. She testified she had told her former boss about the lane closures one month before it happened. He was fine with it. A direct contradiction to what christie claimed. I had no knowledge of it. Reporter christie Team Released this statement friday. Prior to or during the lane clo closures. Bridget kelly said the Port Authority director was the mastermind in the issue in 2013. He is now the governments key witness. Kelly and defendant bill baroni pleaded not guilty to nine felony counts. She said christie was aware of the email she for traffic problems in ft. Lee. She said it was a poor choice of words. She insisted the closures were not retribution meant to punish a local mayor. Christie previously called kelly a rogue and liar. It presents the truth as Bridget Kelly knows it. Reporter david walstein was as the lane closures were happening. Accords to wildstein, the three laughed about it. A man with hoping for Higher Office now caught in a scandal he may never recover from. Now Defense Attorneys painted kelly as a lowlevel employee even to please her boss.

We head overseas where secretary of Defense Ash Carter is touching down in iraq as the crews are trying to take back the city of mosul. We have Nbcs Richard Engel reporter he came to meet with the iraqi primary and American General and get a battle field update in the campaign to drive isis out of the city of mosul. With every advance, there are more signs of isis brutality and radical intolerance. In the town of mosul, authorities cleared a church desecrated by the militants. They wrote the islamic caliphate Reigns Supreme over the cross. That caliphate is shrinking. With the help of u. S. Aircraft and jets launched from uss eisenhower in the mediterranean. Isis is under attack in and around mosul. But finding isis without killing civilians is a challenge. Bad guys mixed in with none of us wants to kill innocent civilians. Reporter advisors are on the ground too. We saw them in combat gear clearing bombs. It is the same job chief petty officer jason finan had. He was killed this week when an ied went off near his vehicle. Isis so far is pursuing a dual strategy. Fighting to defend mosul andey attacks. Using a soft target like the city of kirkuk where militants came in yesterday and killed dozens of people. There was a scare today for some u. S. Troops that are advising in in this mission. Isis, two days ago, set fire to a sulfur plant and the winds shifted bringing some of the fumes close to u. S. Troops. Out of the sense of personal protective chemical gear. Air samples have been taken to determine if the fumes cause any threat, but a military spokesperson told us at this point there has been no change in posture and no reports of hospitalizations. Richard, thank you. Ontario, california is under a smoke alert after firefighters struggle with a massive blaze.
