The first title since 1908. We are live at Wrigley Field in a moment. And later, a meal with Anthony Bourdain. Well have a seat at the table with the outspoken chef who has shown us the world through food. How do you find the places that the rest of us dont even know exist . The kind of questions were asking is, look, what does your soul crave at 2 00 in the morning when you have a little bit of a buzz . More with Anthony Bourdain a bit later in the show, but we begin this morning with celebration 71 years in the making. The cubs are headed to the world series. Let me say that again. The cubs are headed to the world series. They beat the dodgers in game six of the National League championship series 50. Ron mott is outside Wrigley Field where im sure theres still some partying going on. Ron, good morning. Reporter absolutely, willie. Good morning. Wow, what a night in the city of chicago. A night that will never end for a lot of people who have waited phrase the cubs are going to the world series. Out. The cubs have won the pennant and they got there in spectacular fashion. A 50 shutout of the l. A. Dodgers capped off with a dazzling double play to launch a celebration for the ages. Its been many years, 71 for the cubs in the world series. There are a few of those fans still out there and with that long streak still over theyd like to see a longer one wiped away, 108 years the last time the cubs were world champions. To put that into some perspective, consider this. This venerable old ballpark, Wrigley Field, the second oldest behind fenway park in boston was not even around when the cubs last won the world series. Neither was fenway park for that matter. Bygones be bygones. Steve fan bartman ras the fan in 2003 when the cubs were five outs away from going to the world series when he interfered with a foul ball and a lot of people blamed him for a rally that the marlins then put on to win game 6, turned around and won game 7 and went to the world series instead of the cubs. Take a look at some of the folks on twitter. One person writing, it was never ev hope hes sitting somewhere tonight with people who love him feeling a measure of absolution. Bartman, youre off the hook. Cubs are going to the world series. The Cleveland Indians will have a little bit to say about which of these two cities, chicago, cleveland will celebrate and last laugh in the next week to ten days. A great young cubs team that doesnt seem concerned with bartman, billy goats or anything else game one is tuesday night white house. With 16 days to go until the election, the candidates are setting up shop in battleground states. Donald trump still claiming the election is rigged while campaigning in ohio and delivering his own gettysburg address. Hillary clinton out with her running mate tim kaine. Kristen welker in raleigh, north carolina. Kristen, good morning. Reporter hey, willie, good morning to you. Secretary clinton has two campaignhe tight. She is focused on running up the score while donald trump is trying to run off a Major Political comeback. Surging in the polls, Hillary Clinton and tim kaine holding a rare late night rally in the i dont think about responding to that. Reporter on the stump casting Donald Trumps talk of a rigged system as dangerous. Make no mistake about this, my friends. He is threatening our democracy. Reporter the democrats want to win big. Surrogates including miley cyrus, katy perry in running mate mike pence also making a frenzied final push together in ohio. This is a rigged system. Its a rigged election, believe me. The site of the legendary civil war address trying to cast himself as a uniter with proposals for the first 100 days. First i will announce my nafta. Reporter his speech turned to retribution for the women accusing him of unwanted advances. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over. Reporter on saturday an 11th accuser came over, adult film actress jessica drake. Donald then asked me, what do you want . How much . Reporter trump has denied all the allegations, which havent been verified by nbc news. Tim kaine counts him. Im not changing. I may be president of the United States but im going to focus on settling scores. Reporter feeling emboldened, clinton and kaine told reporters they will be focused on helping democrats in down ballot races. When asked about reports that her Transition Team is amping up, she said shes superstition shus and focused on winning the ce. Kristen welker. Thanks. Hes a political analyst for msnbc and radio analyst. He joins us from his studio in suburban washington. Thanks for being up early on sunday. Thanks, willie. I want to ask you about Donald Trumps tactics. He laid out a contract with the american voters, all things a conventional candidate would do and then near the end of the speech he says of the women accusing him, quote, all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. Of the frustration with the Trump Campaign that there are flashes of a candidate who could win over shadowed by a line like that. Reporter especially, willie, yes, especially as the real clear politics show the race tightening a tick and its down 5 and. 8. Donald trump should stay focused on that. President obama, there are you can do at this point. You dont run the double reverse, hail mary statute of liberty. You dont leave that radioactive to this campaign. Mr. Trumps speech yesterday, the remarks about his accusers are best left on the side until after the election is over but the election isnt over. There are millions of americans, half million are getting massive premium hikes. Pat toomey is advantaged by that because obamacare is going to collapse in the face of liberal democrats over the next three weeks and so i wish mr. Trump would stay focused on that. Some of the corruption stories, but mostly on obamacare. Pat toomey, of course, the republican senator in pennsylvania in a tight race. You said Something Interesting there, hugh, this race is not over. I think most of the pollsters and objectively said its all but over. If you look at some of the numbers inside the swing states. What are some of the things youre seeing that may go against conventional wisdom and say trump maybe has a shot here. One that i just mentioned is most important. Absent im not counting the russian attacks on secretary clinton. Theres a lot of interesting stuff in the fsp operation otherwise known as wikileaks. It isnt the kind of thing that can move a needle. If they were to release her private server emails, that would move the needle. I look at the obamacare premiums, willie. In pennsylvania they are averaging in excess of 20 rate hike. I see that they are going up in florida, that they are skyrocketing in minnesota. Donald trump is not going to win minnesota, but there are other places where exchanges are shooting up. I also define the election as more than the president ial. I think as we mentioned senator pat toomey who is ahead in his reelection bid. Kelly ayotte who is tied in some ahead. Roy blunt in missouri, hes ahead. Joe heck is closing and maybe in a dead heat at this point. Even ron johnson in wisconsin is coming back. If i look at the whole election i think over the next two weeks republicans have a lot to focus on in order to secure the house and maintain the republican majority and if mr. Trump really focuses like a laser on the fact that americans not only didnt get to keep their doctor or their plan, they didnt get to keep their second doctor or theiec i say the rcp poll number, the gap is closing as of this morning. Hes only got about 2 1 2 more weeks to start focusing on it. Its getting late. Before i let you go weve been talking about the cubs. Youre a cleveland guy. Lets not forget about the tribe. They havent won since 1948. How about a prediction . Reporter the indians in five. In five . In five, willie. I think youll see kluber come conlin. I hate to do that to the cubs fans, but the elite media is clearly favoring, elite media is in the tank. Go tribe rally together. A new attack on the elite media. Hugh hewett, great to see you. The next president will inherit a full plate of foreign policy. Theyre getting closer to the Northern City of mosul. The offensive is the culmination of a twoyear effort by u. S. Forces to help in the war against the terror group. Richard engel has been with the iraqi forces all week right on the front lines. Watch your step. There is a concern these could be booby trapped. And this morning richard is in bashika, iraq, good to take time to join us. Richard, always good to see you, at stake as iraqi troops move into mosul. Well, when this offensive began a week ago it seemed like it was moving incredibly quickly and the advance on mosul seemed like it could happen within days. It has slowed down. It seemed like its not putting up much of a fight. Every to mosul, its a complex battlefield. You talked about iraqis and americans. In rye at you have iraqi troops that are involved, you also have kurdish troops who are involved. Im right now at one of the forward kurdish positions. In this mix are american advisors. There are some 500 american advisors who are very close to the battlefield, outside the wire, so to speak, and about the defense secretary ash carter who went to baghdad yesterday paid a visit to Northern Iraq today, to the city of erbil and did acknowledge in both places that americans are not just sitting back on their bases calling in airstrikes even though theyre called advisors. Everybody needs to understand that there are americans here that are in harms way. Their mission, which is to bring the american and Coalition Military to the support of Iraqi Security forces is a dangerous one. Reporter the key thing to understand about this is mosul is so important for all of the sides involved here. For president obama, mosul is a way to end his administration showing that he wasnt soft on isis, that he went out with a bang, so to speak, that he managed to take away this important city, a city that once isis. For the iraqi army, its crucial. The iraqi army left mosul two years ago in humiliation. They abandoned their weapons and ran away. Now they want to show that they arent cowards, that theyve reconstituted themselves and they are willing to fight. For isis, this is where isis declared its caliphate. If it loses this city, it could lose its caliphate, lose its prestige. So a lot of people have a great deal on the line here and i think thats why were seeing the fighting getng mosul itself. Although were advising, jason feinan was killed this week. Richard engel in iraq. Thank you. Back here at home, big business, at t reached an agreement to buy time warner for 85 billion. The deal faces big hurdles with concerns about whether or not the combined company would have too much power in the media all right. Dylon dryer is here. Very, very windy yesterday and were still looking at wind advisories across areas like boston. We could see gusts up near 40 miles an hour. Temperatures in the 30s and 40s.

Dylan is with me to go through the highs and the relative civility. I said relative civility. 24 hours after the debate the nominees were together for the annual al smith dinner. And everyone loves it. My wife melania gives the exact same speech and people get on her case. Donald looks at the statute of liberty and sees a 4, maybe a 5 if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair. Some good comedy writing there. Trump was booed a couple of times as hillary. The man became internet famous for the abrupt change of expression from joy to horror. As trumps speech took a turn for the more direct criticism. Someone said hes a metaphor for the entire campaign. Pretty much. Our first love goes to one mans level of concern this week as flood waters rose around him while he was sitting at a hong kong starbucks with a super typhoon creating torrential rains that spilled into the sits there sipping his Pumpkin Spice latte and checking the box scores of the paper like nothing was wrong. Would you recommend that as a meteorologist or should you get out of the storm waters. Get out. That dude did not care. Our next high goes to Vice President joe biden and his need for speed. The onion has a long running gag about biden being a blue collar renegade in the white house. One famous ad is shirtless washes transam. This week jay leno released a clip in which the Vice President gets to drive his beloved 1967 corvette for only the third time in the nearly eight years since he took office and, man, did biden make the most of it. Sounds good. I shouldnt say it on i i like speed. He likes speed and he likes burning rubber. Clearly. He couldnt have done it any other way. No. Biden also said this week, by the way, hed like to fight donald trump out behind the gym. A white tshirt on, pack of cigs rolled up. Pyongyang, north korea, the azalea, the smoking chimp.

She throws her a lighter and she fires up a smoke to the cheers and laughter to the crowds gathered around her. The zoo recently was renovated and reopened at the insistence of the dear leader, king jongun. So many other tricks you could teach. Bob dylan won the nobel prize. The bad news this week is that the nobel people couldnt get gave up trying to reach dylan with the news after days of unreturned phone calls. His location wasnt a mystery. He was on stage in vegas the night he won. He didnt mention it. The only sign dylan knew was the quiet edition on his website that read, winner of the nobel prize in literature. A day later that had been removed from his website. One Nobel Academy called dylan impolite and our final goes to another Nobel Prize Winning dylan. Last week she posted this throw back thursday photo of herself as an awkward teen dressed in unintentional camouflage. In whats become a weekly tradition.
