Since 1908. We are live at Wrigley Field in a moment. And later, a meet 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 the rest of us dont even know exist. The kind of questions were asking is, what is your soul crave at 2 00 in the morning when you have a bit of a buzz. More later in the show. We begin with a celebration 71 years in the making. Let me say that again the cubs are headed to the world series. They beat the dodgers in gauge 6 of the National League championship series 50. Ron mott is outside Wrigley Field where im sure partying is still going on. Reporter absolutely. Wow, what a night here in the city of chicago, a night that will never end for a lot of people who have waited their entire lives to hear the phrase the cups are going to the world series. Out oh, the cubs have won the pennant reporter and they got there in spectacular fashion, a 50 shutout of the l. A. Dodgers capped off with a doddsling double play to end the game and launch a celebration for the ages. Its been many years, 71 exactly, since fans got to root for the cubs and there are a few of those fans out there. Theyd like to see an elonger streak wiped away, 10 years, the last time the cubs were world champions. Consider this. This venerable old ballpark, second oldest in Major League Baseball was not even around when the cubs last won. Neither was fenway park for that matter, fans say its time to end all that and time to let bygones be bygones, byebye for the curse of the billy goat and forgiveness for the fan in 2003, when the cubs were just five outs away from going to the world series when he interfered with a foul ball. A lot of people blamed him for a rally the marlins then put on to win game 6. Take a look at some of the folks on twitter. One person writing it was never Steve Bartmans fault, i hope hes sitting where feeling a measure of absolution. Now, the Cleveland Indians will have a bit to say about which of these two cities, chicago or cleveland, will celebrate and laugh last in the next week or ten days. And a great young cubs team that doesnt seem concerned about anything else. Game 1 of the world series is tuesday night in cleveland. To the race for the white house. With 16 days to go, the candidates are setting up shot in battleground states. Donald trump still claiming the election is rigged and delivering his own gettysburg address. Hillary clinton out with her running mate tim kaine, Kristen Welker traveling with the campaign. Kristin, good morni. Reporter good morning. She has two Campaign Events in north carolina. She is focused on running up the score, while donald trump is trying to pull off a Major Political comeback. Surging in the polls, Hillary Clinton and tim contain holding a rare latenight rally in the heart of philadelphia on saturday. There is so much at stake in demonstrating uneequivocally that the United States is bigger than donald trump. Reporter the first time the two have campaigned together since labor day and holding a joins press appearance on board Clintons Campaign plane, where clinton all but some of the the gop nominee. I debated him for 4 1 2 hours. I dont even think about responding anymore. Reporter but on the stump the talk of a rigged system dangerous. Make no mistakes about this, my friends. He is threatening our democracies. Reporter the democrats want to win big. Surrogates in battleground states. Were also excited for hillary, right . Reporter while trump and running mate mike pence making, later saturday. Folks, its a rigged system, and its a rigged election, believe me. Reporter trump started the day in gettysburg, pennsylvania, the site of the legendary civil war address, trying to cast himself as a uneuter laying out policy proposals. First, i will announce my attention to totally renegotiate nafta. Reporter but his speech quickly 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 forward, jessica drake. Donald then asked me, what do you want . How much . Reporter trump hayes denied all the allegations which havent been verified by nbc news. Tim kaine pouncing. Hes saying im not changing. I may be president of the United States, but im really going to focus on settling scores. Reporter feeling emboldened, they also told reporters they will be increasingly trying to rep on downballot races. Clinton says shes superstitious and mainly focused on trying to win the race. Kristen welker, thanks, lets bring in hugh hewitt, hes now as msnbc political analyst and radio host. He joins us from his studio in suburban washington. Always good to see you. Thanks for being up early on a sunday with us. I want to ask about Donald Trumps approach. He came out, with 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 all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. Does that capture for you some of the frustration that there shall flashes of a candidate who could win overshadowed by a line like that . Especially as the clearclear politics averageses shows the races to tightening. The obama care premium increases are hitting across the country. Mr. Trump should stay focused on that, the fact that middleclass america is struggling after eight years of president obama there are traditional blocking and tackling you do. You dont do the double reverse hail mary statue of liberty and leave alone the stores their radioactive to your campaign. While many are cheered by the substance of his speech yesterday, the remarks about his accusers are best left on the side until after the election is over, but the election isnt over. As i pointed out, there are millions and millions of americans, about a half million in pennsylvania that are getting massive premium hikes. People like pat toomey are advantaged by that, because and so i wish mr. Trump would stay focused like a laser on that. Some of the corruption stories, bus mostly on obama care. Pat toomey the republican senator there in pennsylvania in a tight race. You said something many interesting, this race is not over. I think most of the pollsters have objectively said its all but over, if. What are the things you are seeing that may go against conventional wisdom . I think the one i just mentioned is probably the most important. Im not counting the russian attacks on secretary clinton. Theres a lot of interesting stuff in the fsb operation, also known as wikileaks, but its not the kind of thing to move the needle. I look at the obama care premiums, willie. I see in pennsylvania they are averaging in excess of 20 rate hikes. They are going up in florida, 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 president ial. Senator pat toomey, who is ahead in any reelection bid, kelly ayotte, who is tied in new hampshire. I look at richar burr, hes ahead, roy blunt in missouri. Joesh even ron johnson in wisconsin is coming back. If i had to look at the whole election, republicans have a lot to focus on in order to security the house and maintain the republican majority. If mr. Trump really focuses like a laser, they didnt get to keep their second doctor or second plan, theres an opportunity there. I say the republican cp poll number, the gap is closing. He only got about 2 1 2 more weeks. Weve been talking about the cubs this morning. Youre a cleveland, the tribe hasnt won since 1948. How about a prediction, hugh . The indians in five. Im wearing my red and blue. In five . In five. I think youll see kluber come out, trevor bower come, and josh conlin were going to win this. I hate to do that to the cubs fans, but the elite media is clearly favoring the cubs. The elite madia is in the tank for the cubs. Hugh hue wills, great to talk with you as always. Thanks, willie. The next president will have a whole plate of Foreign Policy for that issues. Theyre getting closer to mosul, to root out militants. The offensive is the culmination of a twoyear end by u. S. Forces to help in the war against the terror group. Richard engel has been traveling with american and iraqi forces all week right on you front lines. This is one of their tunnels. Be very careful where you step. Theres a colonel these could be boobytrapped. Richard, always good to see you, my friend. If you could, set the stage for our viewers, and tell us whats at stake here, as iraqi troops move into mosul. Reporter well, when this offensive began a week ago, it seemed like it was moving incredibly quickly. The advance on mosul seemed like it could happen within days. Its slowed down considerably. Isis which seemed to not be initially putting up a fight is certainly putting up a fight now. Every inch this combined force takes, the fighting seems tore more intense. Its also an incredibly complex battlefield. You talked about iraqis and american. In, much iraqi troops involved. You also have kurdish troops. Im right now at one of the forward kurdish positions. In this mix are american advisers. There are some 500 american advisers who are very close to the battlefield, outside the wire, so to speak, and about 5,000 more who are mostly on their bases. The defense secretary, ash carter, who went to baghdad yesterday paid a visit to northern iraq, and did acknowledge in both places that americans are not just sitting back on their bases, calling in air strikes, even though theyre called advisers. Serve needs to understand that there are americans here that are in harms way. Their mission, which is to bring enormous might of the american and Coalition Military to the support of Iraqi Security forces is a dangerous one. Reporter whats 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 he wasnt solve on isis, he went out with a bang, so to pell, he managed to take away this important city, a city that once had 2 Million People in it from 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 they arent cowards, they reconstituted and are willing to fate. For isis, this is where isis declares its caliphate. If it loses the city tucked lose the caliphate, lose its prestige, so a lot of people have a great deal on the line here. I think thats why were seeing the fighting get more intense. And important to underline something that richard says, though they are advising, americans are in harms way. Richard finan was killed this week. Back hot, the the deal face is big hurdles with concerned about whether or not the combined company would have too much power in the media world. Dylan dreyer is here with a look at the weather.

Dylan is with me to go through the highs and lows of the week. The first high relative civility. 24 hours after their final debate, the nominees were together again for the annual Al Smith Dinner which essentially is a Comedy Central roast in fancy white tie. Michelle obama gives a speech, and everyone loves it. My wife melania gives the exact same speech, and people get on her case. Donald look at the statue 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 times as he got more personal. The man sitting next to the lectern became famous from the interrupt change of expression from joy to horror, as trumps speech took a turn for the more direct criticism. Someone set hes a metaphor for the entire campaign. Our first low goes to one mans level of concern, as floodwaters rose around while he was sitting as a hong kong starbucks with a super tie fooling, my man does not budge, sits there checking the box scores of the paper like nothing is wrong. Would you recommend that as a meteorologist . I would say get out before the floodwaters ever come in in the first play. That durd just did not care. Our nest hike to Vice President joe biden. The onion has a longrunning gag about biden being a bluecollar renega renegade. One headline, it is satire, but he often lives up to the fictionalized version. This weeks jay leno released a clip from his show, in which the Vice President gets to drive his beloved corvette for only the third time in nearly eight years of being in office. And man, did he makes the most of it. Sounds good. [ tires screeching ] try your brakes. I shouldnt say it on television. I like speed. He likes speed and he likes burning rubber, but he couldnt have done it any other way. He also said he would like to fight donald trump out behind the gym in high school. The next logo to the big attraction at the zoo in north korea, zoo Officials Say she rips through a pack a day, but theyre quick to point out that, like bill clinton, she doesnt inhale. Asaulias trainer throwing her a lighter, and the zoo recently was renovated reopened at the insistence of the dear leader kim jongun. So many other tricks you could teach the animal. The good news is bob dylan won the nobel prize, the bad news this week is that the nobel people couldnt get ahold of dylan to tell him, the permanent secretary say she gave up trying to reach him after days of unreturned phone calls. Hes out on tour, was on stage, but didnt mention it, the only sigh he knew he would be become a laureate was the quiet addition that said winner of the nobel prize in literature.
