Its so important. The star power working in her corner. Mosul offensive. The bloody battle, iraqi forces launching a new advance hoping to retake the second largest city from isis. Our Martha Raddatz reporting from the region this morning. And desperate search. A hiker gone missing, the daughter of a popular musician, hoping for the best. She could still be alive. The team scouring the treacherous theyll find her. Are you biased . Good morning, america. Dans off. It is great to have tom llamas beside me, and he just asked where is his cubs hat . Thats because this is the time when sports trumps politics. Thats right. It might be my favorite day ever doing the show. And one day you can so many were rooting for the cubs. Thats your team, right . I spent six years there. Two of my children were born in chicago so go, cubbies. Fans were celebrating the cubs big win. The Team World Series bound outside Wrigley Field, the sign that says it all, it says National League champions. Champagne showers as players celebrated and in the clubhouse as well. I stayed up for this game and got three hours of sleep but im pretty sure people in chicago still arent sleeping. Im sure. This says it all. The headline from the Chicago Tribune. Got their goat, a reference to the cubs curse. Its been 70 years since theyve been there and more than a century since they last won one and abcs alex perez is outside Wrigley Field with more on this historic win. And, alex, this is your hometown. Reporter thats right, good morning, tom, good morning, paula. You know, i grew in up city and weve been waiting much longer than ive been alive for this moment. You can still feel the energy here from the crowds that were here, and, you know, flying the w. Its been a long time coming. On the field and in the streets. The city knows how to have fun. Reporter chicago is celebrating a historic night after 71 years of painful disappointment, Wrigley Field is flying the w as the cubs head to the world series. Cubs snatching their first National League pennant since 1945 when famous fan Dorothy Farrell was just 19 years old. Celebrate just as hard. How are you going to celebrate tonight . Ill probably have a jagrmeister. Joe maddon, high fly into right. Reporter last night the cubs shutting out the Los Angeles Dodgers and walking off with a fiverun lead. Chicago wearing down the dodgers star pitcher clayton kershaw.

That might have been the best game i pitched all year. Im sleeping with this thing tonight. Are you kidding me . Were going to the world series. Reporter fans in the stands hugging it out and breaking down in tears. And as much as we want to celebrate, the truth is the next challenge is right around the corner, game one of the world series tuesday night versus the cleveland indians. The indians havent been at the series since 1997, so, paula and tom, ill take a moment to do something i probably wanted to do a long time ago, so and who knows when its going to happen again so i want to do it now. Dont hold your breath. Dont hold your breath. Its a long time coming. My lucky hat. Fans, they dont know how to process this because the last time they were in the world series a lot of people werent even alive. I love this tweet from john cusack. He said, it feels its very hard to describe what it feels like. Cubs fans, help me out. So youre asking me to describe the indescribable. The last time they were there, 1945, there was no moving video of the game. The game was not televised. What we showed, the Chicago Tribune headline is all weve got. Before there was a Los Angeles Dodgers or new york mets or any number of teams in the league. Thats how far back this goes, and the ticket prices for that game in 1945, about 6 or so. 6 bucks. Now you cant get into wrigley next week for anything less than 2,000. Wow. Okay, so theres a little bit of a bias this morning with alex and paula for the cubs but this is a big year for the indians, as well. Sure. If it wasnt for chicago wed be talking about cleveland. Make things even more interesting, cleveland now thinks they are believeland after what happened with lebron james in the final this year, and game one of the world series is tuesday. Right across the street one hour earlier ring night for the cleveland cavaliers. Theyre going to be donned as champions in the nba season so thats going to be a big night in cleveland. No doubt theres a lot of good things happening in cleveland. Were talking about the two longest franchises for droughts rather for these particular franchises. Whos favored to win . Chicago is favored to win, theyve won 103 games this year. The best team in baseball but its almost like a movie but even in the movies back to the future and major league, it took the sequel for both to get their world series appearance, amazing. I love what you said earlier, the first time the cubs will be in the world series on a live broadcast, live tv broadcast. Been a long time. Well be able to watch history. Tony reali, thank you so much. So good for baseball too. All right, lets turn to politics now. 16 days left in the president ial the country to follow president lincolns example and heal divisions but also threatening to sue the women accusing him of Sexual Misconduct as one more woman comes forward with a new allegation. Abcs david wright is here with the latest. David, good morning. Reporter good morning, tom. Donald trump is already looking past the civil war that is this election in gettysburg talking about bringing the nation together, one nation under trump setting the agenda for his first 100 days. Call it his gettysburg address. Donald j. Trump and the american voter, and it begins with bringing honesty, accountability and change to washington, d. C. Reporter donald trump outlined his first five score days in office committing to overturn trade deals and obamacare but making slight changes to his promises on immigration. Trump is still vowing to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and even to build who exactly will pay and how whos going to pay for the wall . [ chanting mexico ] who . [ chanting mexico ] reporter the republican nominee is now offering something of a payment plan. Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such a wall. Reporter trump also added a new item to his priorities list, taking revenge on the women who have accused him of Sexual Misconduct. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over. Reporter but even as trump accuses his accusers of lying, a new woman has come forward represented by attorney gloria allred. If mr. Trump thought that such bullying tactics would silence his accusers and prevent other women from coming forward, he will be sorely disappointed. Reporter adult film star Jessica Drake says trump kissed her and two other women without their consent ten years ago. Others is untrue. Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. Total fabrication. Reporter abc news is unable to confirm any of the accusers allegations but worth noting, the Trump University lawsuit comes up in late november, so between that and the revenge lawsuits against the accusers, a lot of court dates for donald trump coming up in the first 100 days. Certainly so. David, thank you. We want to move on to Hillary Clinton who was busy campaigning with her running mate tim kaine in pittsburgh and philadelphia, calling the election critically important and reaching out to Trump Supporters. Abcs mary bruce is in our Washington Bureau with that part of the story. Mary, good morning to you. Good morning.

Tom and paula. Mary bruce for us this morning, mary, thank you. Lets bring in George Stephanopoulos who will be hosting this week later this morning. George, donald trump delivered what was supposed to be a major address in gettysburg, but the headlines were still settling scores 16 days out. It was really a tale of two speeches yesterday in gettysburg. He did lay out a 100day agenda in the back half but the whole media, talking about voter fraud, talking about the election being rigged and, of course, that threat to sue his accusers, which stepped on the message. Good morning to you, george. Nice to see you. Mary just mentioned it, the republicans are really concerned about the trump effect down ballot. Democrats can take over control in the senate with, what, four or five. They need to pick up four seats. Right now there are nine or ten that are competitive right now and with every point that Hillary Clinton picks up right now, it has the prospect of bringing in more democrats in the senate and the house. The house is a much tougher ballot for the democrats. They 12point win for Hillary Clinton to make that even possible. But the national is a possibility. No question, its very possible. And this morning youve also got the results of our latest abc News Washington post poll and what voters are saying about the rigged election. Right . Absolutely. You know, this is coming out at 9 00 a. M. So we cant give the exact results but i think what youll see is what a decisive month october was and those debates were for Hillary Clinton.
