Dan is off. It is great to have tom llamas beside me, so, tom, youve been on the campaign trail for the last year and a half and give you a day off there and ask you to come in studio. How about that . I jumped right off the Campaign Plane and ended right here. Glad to have you here. Happy to go here. It is a morning showing Donald Trumps path to the white house is getting tougher and tougher for donald trump losing his grip on some traditionally red states and now trump who usually brags about big wins seeming to acknowledge he might not score a victory. He said what a waste of time if we dont pull this off. And this on a day when the northeast is reeling from a wave of strong storms. We want you to take a look at this. Drivers in worcester, massachusetts, trying to navigate flooded roads. You can see the water taking over the streets and seeping into buildings even. And with flash flood warnings posted some places saw over 7 inches of rain in a single day so whats still ahead . Rob joins us now with the latest. Hey, rob. Good morning, tom. Hello, paula. This has been a painfully slowmoving system really encompasses the entire northeast running into that unusual october heat and that warm air holds more water, comes down sometimes in the form of rain and in some spots its been coming down way too fast. Overnight, powerful storms pounding the northeast. Heavy rain turning streets into rivers. The system already blamed for one death. A gasoline pipeline also rupturing threatening waterways. New hampshire, massachusetts, rhode island and pennsylvania taking the brunt of it. In massachusetts, residents being told to keep off the roads. Cars trapped in high waters. Somebody just yells, the cars outside are flooding. Reporter more than a half a foot of rain forcing evacuations in pennsylvania washing away at least three homes. To see a threestory home turned to rubbage, rubble, its a shame. Reporter meanwhile, emergency crews still scrambling after a gasoline pipe ruptured early friday. 54,000 gallons of gasoline spilling into waterways. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf ordering the National Guard to help in the Recovery Efforts as state agencies respond to the leak. Nearby residents smelling the gasoline coming out of the water. Its alarming. You know, its alarming to be smelling gas that strong. They have shut down the Water Treatment plant near milton as a precaution and have backup Water Supplies for now until they have that thing wholly resolved. Heres the center of the low. The front is now pushing through but still have rain on the back side of this so kind of a soggy saturday. Even so in pittsburgh, western p. A. , really getting hit hard with this. The rain very slow to move out of there so well see this kind of linger through the afternoon, eventually ending from west to east, but behind this strengthening low will be some windy conditions and, look, even some snow at the Higher Elevations by later on tonight, the adirondacks, the white and Green Mountains of vermont and New Hampshire will see a dusting of snow, if not several inches begin to pile up so the leaves that have been beautiful will be coming down. Not only because of that but because of the winds that will be cranking, wind gusts over 40 miles an hour through the day today and into tonight so hold on to your hats. Cold air coming in behind this. More about that in ten minutes. Tom. Busy and nasty on the east coast. All right, rob, thank you. Lets turn to politics now and the race for president. Your voice, your vote, the candidates targeting key battleground states this morning with 17 days to go before the election. Donald trump is making a final push rallying for a rebound as polls show him lagging behind Hillary Clinton. For her part shes looking for a swing state sweep. Abcs mary bruce is in our Washington Bureau with the very latest on the campaign trail. Mary, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, the candidates this morning are entering the final phase. Hillary clinton is out rallying her base and reaching out key independent voters while donald trump is still hoping for a comefrombehind win. Your government betrayed you, and im going to make it right. Get out and vote. Reporter this morning, donald trump is kicking off his sprint to the finish but acknowledges he may lose. And were going to do this for another 19 days, and then i dont know what kind of shape im in, but ill be happy, and at least i will have known win, lose or draw, i will be happy with myself. Reporter as his path to the presidency narrows, trump is pulling out all the stops, for the first time going after michelle obama, one of the countrys most popular figures. We have a president , all he wants to do is campaign. His wife, all she wants to do is campaign. Reporter making her closing argument, clinton is trying to broaden her reach. I know you may still have questions for me. I respect that. I want to answer them. I want to earn your vote. I am reaching out to all americans, democrats, republicans, independents. Reporter and shes slamming trump for refusing to say if hell accept the election results. He is threatening our democracy. Reporter clinton and her top surrogates are out in force. Vice President Biden is eager to take on trump literally. The press always asks me, dont i wish i were debating him. No, i wish we were in high school, i could take him behind the gym. Thats what i wish. Reporter Trumps Campaign manager punched back on twitter writing had trump said this, it would be haironfire breaking news with violence and bully trending. Now, the candidates will be crisscrossing the battleground states from here on out. Donald trump will be setting the tone for these final weeks in a speech today in historic gettysburg. Hillary clinton is also in pennsylvania today reuniting on the campaign trail with her running mate tim kaine. Paula. They are rounding third and heading for home. Mary, thank you. And Hillary Clinton, meantime, hoping for a strong victory that will also boost other democrats down ballot who are ready to capitalize on her momentum. Her campaign is feeling so good about this map, theyre now targeting red states, some that havent turned blue in decades and abcs devin dwyer is here with a look at the republican states in play. Devin, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, paula. Donald trumps path to the white house, as you said, is shrinking fast. Just take a look at our latest abc news race ratings here. You see the states in red. We project donald trump to win. The states in blue, Hillary Clinton to win. That would put her well above the 270 electoral votes shed need to win the presidency. In fact, democrats are so confident theyre talking about and spending money in states that until recently had been diehard republican. Take a look. Arizona, texas, georgia, even utah, a tossup state in our ratings. The clinton team has their sights on all of these states. Republicans say all of this is wishful thinking, paula, but the polls there are close. Hard to believe utah is a tossup state. Okay, so what is clintons edge in the battleground states mean for republicans attempting to keep control of the senate . Reporter there is real worry among republicans about a socalled trump effect in some of those races. Democrats need just four or five seats to take control of the senate. They are hammering republicans like senator marco rubio of florida, kelly ayotte of New Hampshire, richard burr of North Carolina for their ties to trump but this could also come down to turnout in states where clinton is now opened up a bit of a lead, those republican incumbents really are vulnerable. Could you expound a little bit more on the turnout, devin . I know voting is under way. Who has the edge so far . Reporter yeah, people are voting. The numbers coming in this morning, the latest numbers 4. 9 million americans at least have already voted. We dont know how they voted but based on Party Registration and other data, experts see some positive signs for clinton in florida and North Carolina. Trump doing pretty well in ohio and iowa. Paula and tom. Thanks very much for the breakdown, devin. And also joining us from washington is abc news political contributor Kristen Soltis anderson. Kristen, on average trump is about six points behind clinton nationally. Historically has any candidate come back to win after being behind so far this close to election day . This kind of comeback is pretty rare when it comes to president ial elections, but donald trump did write the book, art of the comeback. He often points to that election where Ronald Reagan about this time according to gallops polling was down by about six points in midoctober but bear in mind that this is an incredibly polarized election. In abcs poll that came out this week you had nine out of ten clinton supporters who say theyre with clinton. You had nine out of ten Trump Supporters who said, im with trump. People dont seem to think that theyre going to change their mind barring some huge event, so right now trump has a very uphill battle ahead of him. Kristen, good morning to you. We just heard from devin, so four or five spots to regain the senate for the democrats. We know there are several senate races, but which one should we really be keeping an eye on . Im really keeping an eye on North Carolina. Thats a state that should be a red state. It was a state that mitt romney won but in North Carolina not only do you have a clinton lead, you have a governors race there where the republican governor is facing a tough reelection. And so you have senator richard burr, the republican, who is very slightly ahead in the polls right now. But thats one of those races that if theres a big clinton wave, a big democratic wave, he could be one of those that wasnt expected to be a seat that was in play a few months ago, but that could get taken out if the trump wave is big enough. Kristen, on that point for independents or even republicans that may vote for Hillary Clinton, how does the gop try to keep them loyal to their senate and congressional candidates in other races, or is it really just up to the candidate . It has a lot to do i think with this message that says, if Hillary Clinton is going to be the president , then dont you need a Republican Congress to balance her out . In abcs polling, they asked people, if Hillary Clinton is going to be president , would you rather have a Democratic Congress that will pass her agenda or a Republican Congress that will be a sort of check on her . And by 5340, people preferred that Republican Legislature to be a check on her. So i expect youll start to hear that message from folks in these states where if they suspect some folks will vote for clinton but theyll want to have her balanced out. Kristen, you are a pollster. We also know that Trumps Campaign manager, kellyanne conway, is a pollster, as well. So shes got to be having some closed door honest conversations with her boss. What is she telling him right now . I think shes got to be telling him you need to focus on the states you can actually win. Trumps campaign has really been built for awhile on the idea that he was going to dramatically change the map. Pick up states that republicans never had a chance at winning before. But as that path has narrowed, he needs to really spend time having as many rallies as he can exciting his supporters in states like ohio, states like florida, states he realistically could pull off rather than focusing on some of these other states that are a bit more of a reach. Thats why his schedule is booked from here on out till the election. Kristen soltis anderson, thanks for joining us this saturday morning. Thanks for having me. And a reminder, abc news will have you covered with all the latest developments online and on air from now until election day. You can download the abc news app if you havent already and you can get Live Streaming breaking news reports from the campaign trail and tom llamas as well who is on the campaign trail every day except today.

Smoking guns are hard to find in the physical world. Smoking keyboards are even harder to find in the cyberdomain.

But first on this saturday, the latest on the new revelations involving giants placekicker josh brown who admitted to abusing his wife in handwritten journals which have just surfaced. A lot of people talking about this story, now finding himself placed on paid leave while the team gets ready for a big game in london so will he ever take the field again . Abcs ryan smith has been following the story and joins us with more. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, tom and paula. The nfl now reopening an investigation into giants kicker josh brown claiming they never knew about those past admissions of abuse but the sheriff in charge of investigating brown criminally claiming the league should have handled it differently from the start. New york giant josh brown sidelined until further notice amidst the release of a trove of documents showing repeated abuse of his then wife molly in a scandal rocking the nfl. These revelations stemming from this domestic incident in may of 2015 heard in these 911 calls. 911, what are you reporting . Um, my husband is really upset right now. Reporter that cry for help from molly brown. Josh brown arrested for Domestic Violence that night but charges never filed and the League Suspended him for just one game. At the time, brown indicating it was a onetime incident. Was that an isolated incident . It was just a moment. Reporter but in this 165page document its clear mollys cry for help occurred more than once. Ms. Brown claims she suffered over 20 instances of physical violence at the hands of her then husband over several years. And police now revealing photos like this one, which shows a bruise on her thigh and browns own mea culpas like this email to friends, i became an abuser and hurt molly physically, emotionally and verbally. On friday commissioner Roger Goodell calling for patience as the league reevaluates the case. What we want to do is get the facts and when we get the facts, were going to aggressively pursue that. Reporter the league saying it was unaware of these details when suspending brown overnight sending this letter to brown obtained by abc news forbidding him to practice or attend games while reviewing his case to determine whether further action is necessary. But according to the sheriffs department, which initially arrested brown for Domestic Violence, the nfl failed in its first round of gathering facts. First of all, they probably should have called us. But thats really neither here nor their. Their mistake was trying to lay this off on the Sheriffs Office. All right, ryan, so the Sheriffs Office is saying the nfl should have called. Why didnt the nfl do more to investigate . Well, they said they did and they said they called repeatedly and they said they sent emails and they said they asked for these documents. There was a public records request but they couldnt identify exactly who they were but theyre saying the sheriffs talk right now is a bit disingenerous, that at every turn they tried to get the information, but the police said no go. When that happens it becomes hard for them to ascertain what happened according to them. We were talking about this during the break. Players who commit Domestic Violence are subject to a sixgame penalty. So, why did he only get one game . Well, for the nfl theyre going to look at this as almost a perfect storm of disinformation, right. They couldnt get the information. They allegedly tried to talk to the wife. She wouldnt speak to them. Shes been traumatized by this document release, by the way. She wants to put this behind her. So, without that, they couldnt corroborate the charges. So, for them it becomes a situation where we dont have the information so we might we have the ability to depart down from those six games depending on what the situation is. But, remember, hes never been charged in any of this, so part of their analysis might have been, well, if theres no charges, we cant corroborate, we cant get the information, what can we do . We might have to get them less, but thats not going to get them off the hook. Remember, the nfl is under a microscope on Domestic Violence charges. So a lot of people are still going to ask the question, could they have done more, should they have done more . Sounds like a myriad of misinformation. Ryan, thank you. Well send it over to rob for a check of the weather. Hi, rob. Hi again, guys. Staying on that football theme i want to take you to the forecast for ohio taking on the nittany lions.

So if i can go for Something Better than warfarin, ill do that too. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Plus, it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin.

Yeah, add to the chorus a chicago couple who put down big money to build the basement bar of their dreams and right now during the playoffs, imagine this, and who ultimately had to call in the abc news fixer, they did. Jerry and victoria marzulo of chicago had big plans for their basement entertaining space. Do fantasy football drafts down there, watch the bears, watch the white sox. It looks like its out of an 80s movie and needs some help. Reporter victoria found the guy to trach on the bad bar guy to take on the bad bar makeover. This Aaron Heineman, founder of the heineman bar company. Such a great story behind it. Reporter the builder, Aaron Heineman of reality show epic bar builds came to their home. Hes taken notes and drawn like little sketch designs. We wrote out a check immediately for the 4,000. Reporter and then nothing. Two weeks turned into a month turned into six weeks turned into two months, three months and 4,000 is a lot of dough. Reporter jerry and victoria demanded their money back but instead of a refund they got excuses for six months. We realized he just wasnt going to give us the money back. It was a slow, painful realization. Reporter could stephanie zimmermann, the abc news fixer, shake things up . Our fixer reached out to Aaron Heineman who blamed money problems and promised stephanie hed pay them back in two weeks. He didnt.

Fixing an east bay broken water main, flooding a dozen homes. Homes. And what caused the im hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto. A latest generation blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. Theres more to know.
