"outfront" next, breaking news. president trump planning to hold an event with hundreds of people at the white house, and an in-person rally in florida on monday. this as nine people who attended trump's rally in minnesota last month test positive for coronavirus. and more breaking news. hurricane delta packing winds of more than 100 miles per hour is expected to make landfall shortly. we'll take you there live. and new details about the alarming plot to storm the michigan state capitol to ait can and kidnap the governor. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, breaking news. the president now planning his

first public event for tomorrow on the south lawn of the white house. this despite the fact that he's likely still infected with coronavirus. hundreds of people are expected to attend the event. it's the first in-person event since president trump tested positive a week ago. one of the first big white house events since president trump announced amy coney barrett as his supreme court nominee. that's sort of the core at this debacle. at least ten people at that ceremony have tested positive for coronavirus. and today, the nation's top infectious disease expert called that event at the white house, run by team trump, exactly what it is. >> the data speaks for itself. we had a super spreader event in the white house. >> the president will be speaking from a white house balcony. if you're wondering what precautions are being taken, a source tells cnn attendees will be screened with a temperature check when you walk in, and a questionnaire.

and they'll bring a mask. they will be instructed to wear it. it does not appear that team trump has learned its lesson at all. just look at this rally that donald trump, jr. held in panama beach, florida just yesterday. that's inside, packed, shoulder to shoulder. very few, if any masks, just yesterday after all of this. this is a scene we've all become so used to. tonight, at least nine people who attended that rally in minnesota tested positive for coronavirus. kaitlan, the president announcing a white house event tomorrow and holding a rally in florida on monday. >> reporter: yeah. he's basically moving full steam ahead. we still don't even know if the president has tested negative for the coronavirus. he was supposed to be tested today, but the white house has not disclosed whether or not he was tested, though they did say earlier they would let us know when he tested negative. we haven't gotten that guidance,

but we are still moving full team ahead for this event tomorrow, which i'm told hundreds of people are invited to, and they're going to instruct people to wear masks on the south lawn. the language required is not in the guidance that we got from a source familiar with the planning. that is still to be determined. i guess we'll know when we see these hundreds of people on the south lawn tomorrow. on monday, the president is going back to orlando for another rally. it's going to be the same kind of event he was supposed to be the day after he tested positive for coronavirus. of course, it was canceled then and now the president is scheduling it maybe 11 days after, 12 days after he has tested positive for coronavirus. so we're seeing how the president is responding in the wake of getting coronavirus, testing positive. of course, he left the hospital earlier and back at the white house, back at the oval office and now he's ready to be back on the campaign trail. even though we've heard from outside medical experts who said

their fear is that it's too soon. >> thank you very much. of course, you know, not only are they not telling us when he tests negative now, they never have told us when he last was tested negative, when he actually got this and who he could have infected. "outfront" now, dr. jonathan reiner, who advised the white house medical team under president george bush. gloria borger, and jack o'donnell, former president and chief operating officer of the trump plaza hotel and casino. thanks to all. so dr. reiner, we've not seen the president live in person since he left walter reed and went up those white house steps on monday, ripped off his mask. he has, though, done a few phone interviews. in those, we hear him coughing. he said today, there's always that lingering thing for a couple of days. now he has this event tomorrow and coming up in florida. is he physically well enough for this? would you advise anyone to go?

>> well, so those are two questions. first of all, is he physically well enough for this? almost certainly not. and if i were one of his advisers, i would advise him not to do it. it's just bound to make him look bad. bound to make him look weak. because he only be able to stand for 90 minutes and regale the crowd. he's just not going to be the same person. you know, when i treat a person for a heart attack or they've had bypass surgery and they're thinking about going back to work, i tell them to go back to work half days to start. because i want them to succeed. i want them to feel really good about getting back to work. if you tell them to go back and dive into it, they're found to fail. that's what i think is going to happen with the president. as for the crowd, it's a hot zone there. the d.c. department of health has recommended that everyone who works in the white house get tested, and anyone who has went to the super spreader event get

tested because they don't trust the contact tracing that's been done. this is a really bad time to do this. it's like having an event after the ebola event at the monkey house. it doesn't make any sense to me. >> will the president listen to anyone who tells him no, don't do it, this is a bad idea? >> well, i mean, the simple answer is no. but that's part of his dna. he doesn't have the ability to listen to anybody on any subject matter that doesn't completely hit his narrative. and this obviously doesn't fit his narrative that he stays cloistered in the white house. this is the strong man image that he needs to project. so no, i think it's going to fall on deaf ears and it doesn't matter who it is, he's going to do what donald trump wants to do. >> you know, gloria, he's on a steroid, which is contributing to how he feels. but we know that he wasn't

nearly -- doing nearly as well as his doctor portrayed. we knew it in part because of things that were leaking out. people were saying how sick he was and the breathing and doctors didn't portray it. now president trump seems to be admitting it. in these phone interviews he's done. here's what he said. >> i was in not great shape. i feel better now than i did two weeks ago. i was not in the greatest of shape, and i said how bad was i? they said you were going into a very bad phase. >> look, it's very illuminating medically, gloria, because that time where people take that sharp downturn that can have very bad endings, that are were able to turn it around for him. to hear him say that is pretty surprising. >> it is surprising, but if you know donald trump, and i know jack o'donnell does, he is always the hero of his own story.

so he's the hero of this story. he is the superman who did what no one else could do. he did a very quick turn around. it also gives him an opportunity to brag about these new drugs, which he takes complete and total credit for, even though they were given to him under compassionate use, and even though they're not available to the public at average. don -- at large. he will be example a. it did not dominate my life, i beat it. and here i am, i'm the super hero here in this story. >> so dr. reiner, what we have seen, even though we haven't seen him live and in person, is some really erratic behavior. the stimulus negotiations, he ended them, 2:48 p.m. tuesday. i instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election. four hours later, he tweeted a story about the regard for a

need of stimulus. and today, he went from no stimulus at all to needing some stimulus, to this today. >> you have a bigger stimulus package that either the democrats or republicans are offering. >> mixed messages on a debate, dr. reiner, whether he's in or out or why, on ballots, all of his traditional issues, he's getting some wide swings. could you blame his illness for any of that erraticism? >> i think he's always been erratic, but you can blame it for these gigantic swings. the president is an older man. he's had a potentially lethal illness. he's been sick, admittedly very sick, and now he's on steroids. and steroids can affect the brain chemistry. they're famous for causing depression and mania. and level this on -- layer this on to whatever the president's baseline issues are, and it's a

very volatile mix. it's not funny, because he's the president of the united states, and it is affecting his behavior. >> so jack, to this end, you have known him for a long time, you know that the erraticism is consistent, with you as dr. reiner saying, perhaps not all the way. in recent interviews the past couple of days, where he's on the phone and no one has seen him, he has said some odd things. here are a few. >> i mean, they literally want to take buildings down and rebuild them with tiny little windows, okay? little windows that you can't see the light. and the whole thing is so crazy. you have a deep state, you have a group of people that don't want to have documents shown, which tells you bad things. but they have to give them ultimately, and we're getting them. california is going to have to ration water, because they sent millions of gallons out to the sea, out to the pacific, because they want to take care of

certain little tiny fish that aren't doing very well without water. >> umm, jack that last one i put in because it was a little disturbing when i heard it. they were sending water to the pacific because tiny fish need more water. the house speaker has been trying to say he's in an altered state of mind, but you know him. you know his behavior. does any of this sound odd to you? >> well, certainly some of those anecdotes that you played here are very odd, but that doesn't mean he hasn't said very odd things in the past, whether i s it's -- if you exercise too much, you're going to die early. he's said bizarre things his entire life. i think -- i would never argue with the doctor on the side effects of the medicine that he's on, but the thing that has been interesting, other than this bizarre behavior, and he's been exactly who he is.

he's been true to form for 30 years, this very short attention span has always been there. i think it's highlighted as a result of the medicine. this angry demeanor that he's been presenting for the last couple of days, that's always been there. i just think it's heightened right now because of this. but what you're seeing, the narrative, the attacking, going after people, this is president trump. i think he's in his element right now, even though i agree with the doctor that the medicine can't be doing him any good from a public image stand point. >> so gloria, republicans, are they scared about his behavior? >> look, i think republicans, those who know him, would say in a way what jack is saying that, you know, this is the donald trump we know. the worry is, and that maybe it's enhanced by the dexamethasone, who knows? but the worry is now it's affecting them and their electoral chances, because the

public is seeing president trump in full here. and what they're seeing, they don't like. they didn't trust him on covid, and they are not likely to trust him any more when he exhibits this erratic behavior and when he starts holding rallies, erin. >> we'll seize what those two rallies look like. thank you very much. next, the breaking news with hurricane delta just making landfall. this life threatening storm surge, the wind tearing into the gulf coast. we'll take you there live. plus, the next presidential debate officially cancelled in the past hour. so who is hurt more by that, biden or trump? and a retired wisconsin supreme court justice, appointed by a republican, making her first political endorsement in 40 years, saying she can no longer watch the president shred the constitution. she's "outfront." i am a good parent. jared? i'm hearing the most awful things, people shouting at me. it's ok. when you live with schizophrenia like us,

wind event for where we are. heavy gusts sustained for more than an hour at this point. sometimes it's gusting above 65 miles per hour. we have a building that's blocking us, that's sort of cutting these buildings down. as i move out, you can hear the wind power and speed. they were concerned about all the debris that was left from the last storm that came this way, and they were concerned it could turn into flying projectiles. neighbors here have been working hard to make sure they were battening down the hatches. now you compound that with this storm and a lot of them are just hoping to get through this. when you talk about the power situation, you think about the linesmen who have been out there restoring the power to get the lines back up. more than 115,000 people right now without power. if this wasn't change enough, as i struggle to walk in this wind. we see livestock that has

decided to walk towards, looks like they're just getting something to eat. right now, the animals are fine. most of the structures that we've been around this evening have been type, as well. there have been some roof shippingles we've seen flying across the area, and some downed lines in the distance. so the power in the area that we're in has been out for at least two hours at this point. but the real concern is when you think about the thousands of people who are already left homeless after the last one. 8500 people still in shelters. you have the pandemic involved, some people who were scared. there was also a run on gas just yesterday. we saw that as people were trying to fill up their gas generators that are critical at this point. at this wind continues to strengthen, and push its way onto shore, people are hoping that they can make it through another night. >> ryan, thank you very much. and stick around with us, because we have much more on hurricane delta coming up. and more breaking news this

hour. the second debate between president trump and joe biden is off. it is officially canceled. now, it had been turned into a virtual debate because of concerns about president trump's coronavirus diagnosis. and that so many on his team, right, have been exposed and they don't talk about testing. but president trump refused to take part. then the biden campaign said it's shameful that president trump ducked the only debate which the voters get to answer the question. obviously he doesn't have the guts to answer for his record. the trump campaign say thing is no medical reason to stop the debate, since the president will be healthy and ready to debate. "outfront" now michael smerconish. here's i guess what happened here. president trump needed this debate, we know this, right? he just -- he was the one who needed it the most. he backed out and tried to resuscitate it. how much does the fact that it's

canceled hurt him? >> there aren't too many days on the clock for him to make up the polling gap, the deficit that he apparently faces. there aren't too many opportunities for the momentum shift that i think, erin, he desperately needs. i took note of the fact that very soon after the debate fell apart, when an invitation was extended to former vice president joe biden he immediately accepted so that his dance card was full. and i believed he did that because the biden campaign was probably elated that there wasn't this debate opportunity for donald trump. so i think the president now is probably scrambling for other events and other opportunities where he can make up the deficit. >> right. he's going to do his rallies. earlier today, he called in to rush limbaugh's radio show for what was essentially a rally. they're very close friends. his whole point was, i don't need debates. here's the spin he put on it. >> i don't think the debates mean that much, and i'll tell

you why. i've done well with them. i've had 15. i won the poll on this one with him. but i had to be rude, because he was lying. he would just get up and say a series of things and i would say false and they said i interrupted him. >> for the people who are going to vote for president trump, for his base, the debates don't batter. that's not going to change anything. but who is going to change their mind at this point based on these debates? what group is left? >> i think he probably has a good point when he says that the debates probably respect that consequential. we tend to remember the zingers. but i'm hard pressed in the modern era, reagan forward, to identify a debate that was really a game changer. i would say that the president's time politically speaking was time well spent today with rush limbaugh, because it's rush limbaugh who reaches the base that the president needs to come out and to be a dominant force.

it was essentially a two-hour get out the vote effort on rush's program. so i understand why he did it. >> right. and i guess that's why he's done the other interviews. they've been on fox news, fox business, his base. mark leaven's radio show. joe biden crisscrossing the country, going to key swing states today in nevada, after campaigning yesterday in arizona. and today, you know, trying to hit president trump up on now what he thinks is a winning issue which is the stimulus talks issue. here he is. >> i've served with a lot of presidents. never, no matter good or bad did you through they were, did they fail to try to bring the parties together in the white house to roach a settlement. you know why? he spends so much time hiding in the bunker in the white house or in the bunker of his golf course, playing hundreds of rounds of golf. president trump shows no urgency to deliver to hard-working

americans. >> so michael, the bunker in the white house, trying to rebut -- trump picked on biden in the basement for a long time. but bide season the one out there now, crisscrossing the country, he's the one everybody is seeing. how much does this hurt the trump campaign? >> the combination of what he's saying a and the ads i am seeing is taking on the demeanor of a closing tour. the biden mantra is do no harm. very limited media availability and questioning, because they're in a great position and they just don't want to screw it up. >> michael, thank you very much. don't miss michael' show tomorrow. and next, cnn learning shocking new details about the suspects in the alleged domestic terror plot to kidnap the michigan governor. and the breaking news on hurricane delta just making landfall. water levels currently rising. we'll take you back there live. when joe biden wants an update on the virus,

he calls on the nation's top health experts. working together, for all americans, is what joe does. when writing his healthcare plan, joe biden worked with both doctors and patients to make healthcare affordable by lowering premiums, reducing drug costs, and protecting people with pre-existing conditions. joe listened to both small business owners and workers to create his economic plan that cuts taxes for middle class families, creates 18 million new jobs in his first term,

and raises wages by as much as $15,000 a year. joe biden's plans will help working families immediately by making the super rich finally pay their fair share. for joe, it's never been about ego. it's always been about the work he can do it's what he's always done. joe biden brings everyone to the table and gets it done. i'm joe biden, and i approve this message. diabetes and raised triglycerides,... ...vascepa can give you something to celebrate. ♪ vascepa, when added to your statin,... ...is clinically proven to provide 25% lower risk from heart attack and stroke. vascepa is clearly different. first and only fda approved. celebrate less risk. even for those with family history. ♪ don't take vascepa if you are... ...or become allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa.

insurance industry to cover mental health and addiction treatment. now more than ever, californians need mental health coverage. i won't let up until the stigma of mental health and addiction is finally over. tonight, alarming new details about the men accused in the disturbing plot to kidnap michigan governor gretchen

whitmer, including a history of anti-government views and calls for violence and bloodshed. sara sidner is "outfront." >> i hate to say i love the kid, but i'm mad right now. i'm just shocked, man. you help somebody es and they pull that stuff. >> reporter: he says one of the suspects in the alleged domestic terrorist plot was an employee. the owner says adam fox lived here, and he lived behind this door and down into the basement. down here with him, his dogs, one with an emotional support collar and don't tread on me tag attached to it. >> he was in a militia and he got kicked out, so he started his own. >> reporter: one of two the ming thi they concerned. what was he getting from amazon? >> mres, attachments for an

ar-15 and buying food. i'm not stupid. i was in the marine corps, so i told him he had to go. >> reporter: but before he left, fox and 12 others were arrested. we found several suspects ranting against the government online. one suspect calling president trump an enemy. >> trump is not your trend, dude. >> reporter: while another tweeted, keep up the work, chief. the fbi says the alleged plot centered around a plan to kidnap michigan governor gretchen whitmer, whose coronavirus restrictions have been railed against by armed groups at the capitol. according to the complaint, they did surveillance on her vacation home. two suspects discussed detonating explosive devices to divert police. one said the fear will be manifested through bullets. fox, allegedly responds, copy that, boys, loud and clear. >> these are the types of things you hear from groups like isis. this is a domestic terror

organization. what we're seeing in michigan right now, it's not just a michigan problem, it's an american problem. and i think there's going to be more incidents to come. >> reporter: a problem forewarned by frank meek, a former neonazi himself convicted for a politically motivated kidnapping in the '90s. i spoke to him days before the alleged michigan plot was known to the public. what is the scenario in this election that would create what you're calling the potential of a race war? >> i'm telling you, this is going to happen. states like michigan, states like wisconsin, the northern states, that has wilderness area, there have been militias from other states training up there. they are waiting and hoping that something does go wrong, because they will hole up in those hills and say we don't want the government up there. >> of course, we know every time that this white house identifies

me or takes a shot at me, we see an increase in rhetoric online, violent rhetoric. and so there's always a connection. certainly, it's something that we've been watching. but this took it to a whole new level. >> reporter: in a slew of tweets, president trump said that he does not support any kind of extreme violence. he also then again went after governor whitmer, calling her and saying she's done a terrible job when it comes to the covid response. but to be clear, the fgovernor has done what many other governors have done to slow the spread of this deadly virus. "outfront" now, a retired wisconsin supreme court justice appointed by former republican governor tommy thompson. for four decades she's avoided political endorsements, until now, announcing she's supporting joe biden for president. i appreciate your time.

i want to talk about your decision to endorse joe biden. i know this was -- it's a hugely significant thing for you to actually come out and do it. but first, i wanted to ask you these details that are coming out about this disturbing plot to kidnap the governor of michigan and you hear that piece there, and concern that militias are training, that they're holing up in the wilderness. are you worried this is not an isolated incident? >> i'm extremely worried about it. i am not surprised that this has been going on, but when you hear the horrific details in this particular plot to attempt to kidnap and harm the governor of michigan, it's frightening. i think we have to take seriously the warning of christopher wray and the fbi say thing is our number one threat within our country, is these extremists internal terrorist groups. >> so governor whitmer last night said she believes

president trump's rhetoric encourages this type of behavior from hate groups and white supremacists. do you agree with her, that president trump does deserve blame here? >> i do. and i do on two fronts. one, the disrespect that he has shown for her and other governors, but particularly governor whitmer, he has this thing about going after professional women, particularly democrats, and he's attacked her. and then the kind of language that was used in the debate about -- and denying, or at least not taking responsibility for calling out white supremacist groups i think only enhances their self-importance. we need to have a presidential leader who calls it for what it is, terrorism that has to be stopped. >> as she said, those groups heard what he said as a rallying cry. and we saw it in their recruitment numbers. so you know, you're talking about this decision that you

have made for the first time in 40 years, a supreme court justice in wisconsin. first political endorsement that you have ever made. and you didn't pull any punches. you came out and you owned it. in your op-ed piece, you write, i can't stand by and watch this president shred the constitution and undermine the rule of law. president trump has no respect for our constitutional values, and has mocked our democratic institutions. he is rude and obnoxious bully who does not disrespect anyone who disagrees with that. i want a president our children and grandchildren can look up to, a president who is an ethical and respectful leader, not a bully like president trump. justice, why did you feel the need to speak out like this when you have never done so before? >> you know, as having been a trial court judge and supreme court justice and law professor at marquette, i have always tried to stay neutral in political campaigns. i tend to be the moderator and

the commentator and kept my neutrality all these years, just trying to assist people to hear all the different voices. but i decided after watching what president trump was doing to our country to citizens, to people who don't have voices, that i could not stand silently by. when you look at the time in germany, when hitler took over and people ask where were the voices, where were the people that objected? we're not at that extreme, but i thought i need to add my voice to this. this is not just a political dispute. this goes to the core of our country and our democracy. and i needed to do whatever i could do to shed only light that i think that joe biden is the only person that can come in and provide some healing and rehabilitate our country. >> justice, i appreciate your time. thank you tonight. >> thank you. thank you, erin. next, president trump stepping up efforts to undermine

the vote in the upcoming election. >> this is going to be the second biggest political scandal in history. plus, breaking news. live pictures from louisiana as hurricane delta is just making landfall, people braces for a life threatening double digit storm surge. we'll take you there live. i am so excited to join ww because my ultimate goal is to be healthier. when you take care of yourself, you feel better. you thrive, you can do more. the time is now, let's go! join now and don't pay until 2021! been there, done that. twice your cousin. from boston. karen, i'm just gonna say what everyone here is thinking. you look smokin. total smokeshow.

tonight, president trump stepping up efforts to spread disinformation about mail-in ballots and seeming to suggest that any ballots coming in after election day should not be counted. >> ballots have to be in by november 3rd, election day. but they don't have to be counted for two weeks later. that means you're never going to know who won the election. i want to see on november 3rd who won the election. >> pamela brown is "outfront." >> reporter: president trump is continuing to undermine the integrity of the election. >> they're sending out millions and millions of ballots. are they sending them to all democrats? this is going to be the second biggest political scandal in history. >> reporter: president trump is spreading disinformation. vote by mail states send ballots

to all active voters, and there are no signs of a looming scandal. and he went on -- >> you're never going to know who won the election. >> reporter: but election night results are always unofficial. the very real chance there won't be a winner on election night is something even president trump's security team warned is not a problem. >> on november 3rd, we might not know the outcome of our election, and that's okay. but we're going to need your patience until official results are announced. >> reporter: the plot to kidnap michigan's democratic governor with trump's disinformation and fiery rhetoric is raising fears of voter intimidation on election day as tensions rise. >> it's not just a michigan problem, it's an american problem. and i think there's going to be more incidents to come. >> reporter: michigan's attorney general is working on guidance for law enforcement on how to handle guns at polling places. in 11 states and d.c., there is a ban on firearms at the polls. but many swing states, including michigan, don't have strict rules against it.

>> bad things happen in philadelphia. >> reporter: today in philadelphia, a judge rejected the trump campaign's lawsuit over its attempt last month to use supporters as unofficial poll watchers ahead of election day, something philadelphia officials wouldn't allow because it's against the law. >> the very safe, very nice thing. they were thrown out. they weren't allowed to watch. >> reporter: all polling places have registered poll watchers on election day. but the judge held it is illegal at satellite locations. and now both parties are gearing up for the possibility of a contested election, with no clear winner on november 3rd on weeks beyond. the washington post reports speaker pelosi has discussed the issue in meetings. one scenario involves invoking a law that give s congress the

power to settle state disputes. she acknowledged any congressional involvement would be messy. >> if all that chaos takes us to a time that could be past the date when the electoral college must meet, we will be ready. >> reporter: to clamp down on disinformation surrounding the election, twitter is announcing several new changes, including blocking any twitter user from declaring victory until it's announced from state election officials or two reputable national news outlets. back to you, erin. >> pamela, thank you very much. and in colorado, mail-in ballots started going out today to more than 3.5 million people statewide. "outfront" now, the state's top election official. secretary griswold, good to have you back on the show. the president is suggesting no ballots should be counted after november 3rd. it's absurd, because if you're

allowed to vote through election day, and in 25 states plus washington, d.c., you can -- you postmark on election day. it gets sent in, so it gets counted. colorado is not one of those states, but how concerning is this message to you? >> thank you for having me on. i think this is a really important topic. not only because of the issues you're raising, but overseas and military voters can have their ballots be sent in up to eight days after election day. so there's a lot of activity that happens after election day, including the further processing of ballots, audits if there is a mail ballot state fixing signatures, and in colorado, our elections will run just like normal and will follow the law as stated. >> and we should point out to people, all states have all different sorts of rules, has to be postmarked by election day, and they put out receipts, there's only a certain number of

days it can be received. so the president calling it the second biggest political scandal in history. so let me ask you, because you talk about the rules in colorado, you've been sending ballots by mail to all active registered voters, this will be the seventh year. what do you say to him when he tells you it's the single biggest risk in this election? >> i would say the president also encouraged coloradoans to vote their mail ballots today, which i completely agree with. county clerks started sending out ballots today, and i encourage all americans to vote them, and to vote early. you know, mail ballots are the safest way to vote during a pandemic. but colorado is also proof of how safe, secure, and accessible mail ballot elections are. we have early roting, same-day voter registration, online voter

registration, and we are considered the safest state in which to cast a ballot. so our system works, and i hope as we get past this election, we continue the conversation about national standards about how elections should run. >> let me ask you, the president tweets about colorado, because you just said your ballots went out today. so he said colorado, your mail ballots are being sent out today. fill them out and vote trump/pence. he sends that tweet, but he sent one alleged mail-in ballot fraud in ohio. so what do you make of these mixed messages? >> well, number one, the all caps screaming of excitement about mail ballots in colorado, i share that excitement. so i think we're going to have a great election in colorado. when it comes to ohio, i think it was from what it seems to be, just a mistake that they're working to fix. i'm very confident about

secretaries of state and election official's ability administer great elections. but it highlights the role of misinformation or just bad information on elections. it's not only coming from elected officials, but foreign adversaries. so we are launching a program in colorado to combat this information and it starts with making sure that voters are aware to ignore the noise. think twice about what you are consuming and believing on social media, and make sure that you have a trusted source of election information. >> i appreciate your time. good to talk to you again. >> nice to talk with you. next, breaking news. winds of nearly 100 miles per hour are tearing across the coast of louisiana. you can see these live pictures. some areas expecting a double digit storm surge, life threatening, and we'll take you there live right after this. so really, how are you? oh well, look! that's what we're both taking right now, fanapt. you know it's really been helping me manage my schizophrenia.
