having a baby, they may not be able to get a bed. if someone is having a heart attack or a potential stroke like my mother, they may not be able to get a bed. >> reporter: local governments are cracking down, imposing more covid restrictions. we're now just one hour into a new limited stay at home order in san francisco. the city is banning indoor activities like gym and fitness centers, museum es, zoos, aquariums, movie theaters and indoor worship and religious services. also in the bay area, santa clara is launching new rules including banning contact sports. l.a. county is also starting a three week today at home order tomorrow. and on the east coast, covid restrictions are also being enforced. take a listen to new jersey governor phil murphy. >> three months, we're in the fight of our lives. there's a lot of private setting transmission going on. so where we can strategically, surgically get at transmission,

latest, what we can expect. and what you and your family should do to avoid infection. arthel? arthel: holiday air travel could set pandemic records. the tsa reported screening more than a million passengers out of u.s. airports thanksgiving eve, the most in one day since march. here's a life -- live look now at laguardia airport, one of the many transportation hubs that travelers are expected to fill today. alex hogan is live in new york city with more. alex. >> reporter: hi, arkansas this. well, travelers returning home today are creating more traffic and longer lines at airports really than what we've seen throughout the pandemic. according to aaa, they predicted that 95% of travelers would hit the road this holiday, and this was also the busiest travel weekend at airports since march. weather patterns today could make those return journeys more difficult. the national weather service warning of scattered severe weather today that will bring

damaging winds and possible tornadoes a along the gulf coast and the southeast. heavy rain will move up the eastern coast through tuesday. because of the weather, travelers should plan ahead. canceled flights or delays could mean getting stranded in an airport for longer than expected or being in a state with different covid-19 regulations. travelers this year also needing to plan ahead for new testing and quarantine regulations when reentering air space. the cdc asked americans to stay home. governors today thanking those who listened. >> and i want to give a shout-out to new jerseyans who, i think, overwhelmingly that's what happened. but there's a lot of fatigue out there. >> i think we had a very subdued thanksgiving. we're very thankful. but at the same time, people understand the risk of large gatherings. >> reporter: the number of hospitalizations around the country rising this holiday weekend. yesterday 14 states hit their own records for the month. dr. anthony fauci today saying that there will likely be

president's claims. david? >> reporter: good afternoon to you. some news on the recount front out of wisconsin. in dane county, wisconsin, that's where the capital of madison is located, president trump essentially netted 45 votes there. president-elect joe biden, though, still winning the county and still winning the state of wisconsin with despite the trump campaign spending a lot of money for are e counts in several different participants of wisconsin. president trump arrived on the south lawn with his grandchildren walking into the white house this afternoon after spending a weekend with some family at a camp david. today in an interview with maria, he took a more pessimistic view of his chances at the u.s. supreme court. to be honest, eric, it's the first time i've seen him do so since the election. listen. >> well, the problem is it's hard to get into the supreme court. i've got the best supreme court advocates, lawyers that want to argue the case if it gets there. but they said it's very hard to

get a case up there. can you imagine? donald trump, president of the united states, files a case, and i probably can't get a case. >> reporter: the trump team lost at the appeals level in pennsylvania within the next eight days the team will file what's called an application. justice samuel alito would take that based on geography. he could rule on the application himself, he could bring in the eight justices or rule against the motion. all it would really do is give the trump campaign a little more time in pennsylvania which could delay the electoral process in pennsylvania. delay doesn't mean that it would turn over any results as biden won the keystone astronaut. in another legal blow also from pennsylvania, this is not the u.s. supreme court, now we're talking about the pennsylvania supreme court, the justices there reallied against -- ruled against a small group of remins including pennsylvania congressman mike kelly and congressional candidate sean parnell on screen right. they wanted to stop the certification of the state's

voting and overturn a pennsylvania law that allowed no excuse mail-in voting meaning that anyone could request a mail-in ballot without an excuse. pennsylvania attorney general josh shapiro, he praised that ruling by the pennsylvania justices. georgia, eric, is another big state we've heard a lot about, president trump going down to campaign on saturday for senators david perdue and kelly loeffler. but brian kemp, the republican governor in georgia, president trump not happy with him today saying that he get regrets endorsing him. eric? eric: yeah. and the secretary of state, the republican in georgia saying-going by the law. -- he was going by the law. david spunt, thank you. arthel: well, president-elect joe biden spending his holiday weekend in delaware as his transition team moves quickly to fill out his cabinet. meantime, we are learning the president-elect will be examined by an orthopedist today after an incident yesterday. let's go to jacqui heinrich live in wilmington, delaware, with more on all of this.

so what's the latest on mr. biden's health? >> reporter: arthel, we've learned the president-elect sustained this injury yesterday, a twisted ankle, while-out playing with husband dog major. major is a rescuing dog, a german shepard. you can sort of infer from in that it was obviously bothering him enough a day later to go get it checked out, and the pool is now traveling with him in his motorcade to have that examination by an orthopedist. the transition team says it's happening out of an abundance of caution. in the meantime, the most focus is still on the cabinet posts that we are expecting to be filled out in the coming days. several national security posts have already been named, but one big one that is missing is biden's choice for defense secretary. one of the leading contenders for that job is also under consideration for attorney general. michele flournoy is considered the leading candidate to head up the pentagon, but jeh johnson's

also in the running, and he would be the first black defense secretary a in an administration that has promised to deliver a diverse cabinet. johnson is also in the mix for attorney general as well along with sally yates, doug jones and xavier becerra. while the transition hasn't announced a timeline for those posts, biden is expected to roll out his economic team this year. janet yellen is poised to head up the treasury, and if confirmed, would be the first woman to lead the department. she'd also face a historic set of challenges managing economic fallout from the pandemic. >> i can assure you there will be more cabinet announcements, so buckle up for december. there was not a secretary of defense announcemented, a cia nominee, there was not a head of usaid, and there will be more announcements on the national security front in the weeks ahead. >> reporter: over the holiday weekend, the transition announced three new advisers to the coronavirus task force with picks reflecting the

president-elect's authorities, officials with experience. jay hopkins is an immigrant with a union background, she specializes in mental health, dr. jim: and dr. david michaels was assistant secretary of labor under president obama. it's a formula that biden has kept as nominees so far, and he is expected toen continue with these upcoming posts, diversity being a big pure ity. and just in the last few moments we have learned the president-elect reached the orthopedist's office, we should learn more shortly. arthel: with, the good news is that a twisted ankle is more annoying than troublesome in terms of an injury, so we do wish him well though. thank you, jacqui heinrich there in wilmington, delaware. eric? eric: arthel, a close adviser to iran's eye tole a la says tehran is now planning, quote, a decisive response after that country's top nuclear scientist was killed in that brazen

apparent assassination on friday. it was a stunning commando-style operation that certainly. basers the totalitarian regime -- embarrasses the totalitarian regime taking out the leader of the country's nuclear program. trey yingst following it live in jerusalem for us now. >> reporter: good afternoon. the middle east does remain on edge after the assassination of a man largely seen as the godfather of the iranian nuclear program. this scientist had a funeral today. his body being carried across iran's multiple cities. he'll ultimately be buried in tehran on monday. this evening iran's supreme leader and iranian president are vowing to respond to the killing. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: iran has to know that the iranian nation and the country's officials are brave and intrepid enough to respond to this criminal action at the right time.

officials will respond to this crime. >> reporter: top iranian officials say israel is behind the ambush as well as newspapers today which called on the bombing of haifa. the israeli chief of staff toured israel's border with syria this weekend, his soldiers do remain on alert about the possibility of an attack if from an iranian proxy in the area. the lieutenant general staid in a statement, quote: our message is clear, we will continue to act as vigorously as necessary against the iranian establishment in syria, and we will continue to be fully prepared against any kind of aggression against us. just now, eric, we are getting in some photos from the iranian regime that have been released. they say they have identified at least four men they believe are in part responsible for this assassination on friday. again, the iranians are vowing to respond, it's just a matter of where and when. eric? eric: all right, trey, in jerusalem, thank you.

♪ eric: well, president trump says he will visit georgia this coming weekend. to campaign for the two republican senates facing runoff elections. but, you know, some gop leaders are worried that the president's ongoing legal challenges in that state could discourage people from voting in january, this as there are also growing calls for republican voters to write the president's name in to show their support of him. charles watson is live in atlanta with the latest on this contest. huh, charles. >> reporter: hi, eric. president trump will campaign in georgia next saturday as he continues to make unsubstantiated claims that the election was stolen from him. in the state this morning in an exclusive interview on "sunday morning futures," the president criticized governor bruin kemp for, quote, doing nothing as the state works to complete another recount requested by the trump campaign. >> the governor's done nothing, he's done absolutely nothing. i'm ashamed that i endorsed him.

but i look at what's going on, it's so terrible. but what happened in this election, maria, i can't imagine has ever happened before. >> reporter: and despite public claims of fraud, the president is urging his supporters not to boycott the january 5th runoff election pitting david perdue and kelly y loeffler against jon os ah and reverend raphael warnock. with the senate at stake, both democrats and republicans are stepping up their attacks as they a make the case to voters. >> we are the firewall to socialism in america. that's not going too far, because that's exactly what they want to do. you've heard chuck schumer. now we talk georgia, then we change america. and they mean it. >> with all know what's going to happen if mcconnell holds the senate. he will try to do to biden and harris just like he tried to do to president obama. it will be paralysis, partisan

trench war far. >> reporter: and, eric, despite the pandemic each side plans to knock on hundreds of thousands of doors across georgia to mobilize their bases. the deadline for voter registration ends december 7th, and one week later early voting begins on december 14th. eric? eric: everyone's going to watch this race. charles, thank you. arthel? arthel: well, ahead of president trump's trip to georgia this week, the "atlanta journal-constitution" asks one question on many voters' minds, how much will he help? for more let's bring in chris bedford, senior editor at the federalist. i start by asking you, how much will president trump help? i mean, the president's going down this saturday, he's going to hold a rally for the gop candidates. but once he he uses that stage to air grievances and false claims about a rigged presidential election are that he says was stolen from him and then condemn the flawed system there, the voting system in georgia, will this fuel republican voters to turn up and

turn out to vote in the senate runoff election? >> well, there's a huge amount of irregularities that we've seen whether it's in philadelphia, detroit or even down in georgia, very strange voting patterns especially focused on some of the cities that are a concern to a lot of the republicans. some of the president's lawyers might have taken this further than the facts support. there's certainly evidence to back up anger there, but that is an issue. he is the most influential and important republican, and he's going to be if he chooses to be for the next four years regardless of whether or not he's president, which it doesn't look like he will be. when he's able to go down to georgia, hector pee doe candidates -- he can torpedo future candidates if he wants to. however, to your point and to their point, if he focuses too much similar blue on himself and how -- simply on himself and how elections don't work, that will play against him. donald trump ought to be in legacy mode right now. he needs to defend anything he's made, and there will be partisan

paralysis in washington if mitch mcconnell holds the senate, but the alternative to that is the most ambitious left-wing agenda in over a century -- arthel: well, the other side's not here present to reare butt that, so we'll move on, i'll let it stand because that's not my job either, but i'm sure they would disagree with you. the republican national committee chair has addressed trump supporters who asked if the senate election's rigged like the presidential election. ron that ronna mcdaniel urged them not to lose faith, don't lose their faith. what's your take on this? >> it's going to be -- they're going to have a tough time on that front. it's an interesting point and to actually see the voters really questioning the process they want to participate in, that's frightening. that's been a frequent partisan thing over the last couple of decades. when george w. bush was president, he was called not the president. donald trump was called not the president. if both sides start doing it

now, that will really undermine faith in american systems -- arthel: who called president trump not the president? >> hillary clinton still i thinks that she should be the president, and there's a lot -- you can walk into any store in new york city or washington and see not my president t-shirts. arthel: hillary clinton conceded at the appropriate time, and she said that he is president trump. everybody knows president trump is president trump, okay? period. he's the president. >> there's a lot of money made on t-shirts -- [inaudible conversations] arthel: president trump, as you know, chris, is the first republican presidential candidate to lose georgia in 28 years, and most of the credit for georgia turning blue in 2020 goes to stacey abrams. and she's already touting record requests for ballots for the senate runoff. so can stacey abrams turn out a run for reverend raphael warnock and jon ossoff, thus democratic control of the senate? >> potentially.

she was incrediblyfective in november. she didn't win on every single front like she expected to, she lost in certain communities. stacy stacey abrams has claimed for years to be the governor of georgia, and she might as well be. she's pushed through mail-in voting on a massive level which is a dangerous system and undercuts trust, republicans haven't pushed back on that. she's a dangerous force -- arthel: i'm sorry. one second, chris. unit understand what you said. you're saying that stacy antibiotic brames, because she's promoting mail-in ballots, she's -- >> massive mail-in ballots, even people who haven't requested them is a dangerous system for democracy. arthel: why? >> because it doesn't allow -- it breaks up for fraud more easily. the post office has difficult few, there are counting difficulties -- arthel: no, not true, and you know what? [laughter] i received a mail-in ballot that

i did not request, and you know what happened when i went in to vote in person at the poll? they took my mail-in ballot and shredded it. so i couldn't vote twice. what are you talking about? >> well, that's wonderful to see, but there are, obviously, many irregularities in pennsylvania and philadelphia. for example. where the ballots that were coming in late that weren't scanned correctly, didn't have the -- arthel: i know. i know what you're saying, all the things that have already been disproven -- >> i was reporting on the ground from there. i'm not making this up. the idea there's no corruption in philadelphia, there's literally indictments right now for previous voter fraud in philadelphia. arthel: okay. enough to overturn what has already been done? >> no, i don't think so. that's what i was asking, just what has happened has happened, and those votes were, you know, counted as official, right? >> yeah, i think -- joe biden is the president-elect, for sure. he's won this election.

this election won't be changed by lawsuits. but it does undercut faith in democracy which is dangerous to our republic, and it's dangerous to the gop getting out votes, exactly to your point. arthel: a you're right, unfound claims being promulgated is very -- >> voter fraud happened. arthel: it does, but not to the point -- look, bottom line, you're a reporter, so am i, we don't want to encourage any of our fellow american citizens to doubt democracy period, right? >> i agree. arthel: all right. we'll end it there. chris bedford, senior editor at the federalist. thank you so much. >> thank you. eric: well, first of all, mail-in ballots are sent to your home and you vote once. they have a record if you try to vote again, and that's why they are caught, and the state supreme court in pennsylvania ruled that certain mail-in ballots without dates are allowed and can be counted but, clearly, not enough to affect that election there. that has been certified.

if someone is having a heart attack or a potential stroke like my mother, they may not be able to get a bed. eric: well, it's personal, as you just heard from u.s. surgeon general jerome adams. we certainly hope his mother improves. he is urging americans to wear masks as covid-19 infections and hospitalizations are surging across the country. the university of washington's institute for health metrics predicts in the most likely scenario that the daily deaths could reach 2,500 or more by the middle of next month, up by 300 from its projections last week. let's bring in the professor of health metrics sciences at the institute and chief strategy officer for population health at the university of washington. doctor, let me start with this weekend. the cdc told all of us stay home for thanksgiving. millions and millions of our fellow americans traveled, they the ignored that ad vice. what do you fear could be the result in two to three weeks from now?

>> -- [inaudible] cases were going up, we see cases rise in two weeks and three weeks in the united states and other hospitals will see more patients, of course. eric: your institute predicted 500,000 deaths by the end of february. are they still holding to that, or do you think this increase could potentially fuel that even more? >> this could. it specialty could depending on what has happened. find out in couple of weeks from now, unfortunately. and, yes, we could revise our numbers after that, unfortunately. eric: and what are all these increases -- what do they do to the stress and strain of the medical personnel in hospitals such as though that you deal with? >> so if you look at yesterday in the united states, we had 91,600 hospitalizations. we had about 18,000 people who

were in icus, and we had about 6,150 on ventilators. we're expecting sometimes in january, early january that this will double in the united states, putting a lot of stress on hospitals. somebody who needs medical care besides covid-19 will be asked to delay, unfortunately. and putting stress on our personnel in hospitals so with long hours. i mean, you can't add enough personnel between now and then, unfortunately, to take care of the load of patients. eric: and what can we do? those who are watching right now, what can we do to try and ease the strain? what can we do to protect ourselves and not spread the virus? >> to protect yourself, your loved ones, your country and your economy, wear a mask, stay away from each other, wash your hands. and if you don't have to get outside your house, by all means, please stay indoors.

the vaccine will save a lot of lives, but we don't want to overrun our hospitals. eric: let me show you some of the states where it's really the worst right now, the race just horrible -- rates just horrible. north dakota, they did impose if a masking mandate, but the governor there didn't do it until, well, november 14th. south dakota skyrocketing, but there's still no mask mandate, just a recommendation from the governor there who's come under a lot of criticism. kansas impositived it on july 2nd -- inposed it, but the state law allows counties to opt out, and the majority have. montana posted it in july. wisconsin had it in august, and they just renewed it. have our leaders failed us? people around the country who americans look up to, have they failed us in terms of their advice, they should have done a lot more a lot sooner to protect

us from what's been happening? >> yes, they have failed us. the inconsistent message to the public has confused everyone. it should have come much earlier and said with we need a mandate for masks. masks are not political. they are scientifically proven. they prevent transmission of the virus, they save lives and economies. we should have done it much sooner, and we should have set an example by wearing the mask every time they're outside to we can insure that americans wear a mask. if you compare us to other countries in the world that have 95% mask wearing, they have been able to control the virus much better than we did. eric: and finally, doctor, what do you foresee over the next few months? we're heading into what potentially is a dark winter. what do you see happening, when can we get out of this? >> unfortunately, the vaccines will not -- [inaudible] in december or january, early next year. this will take a 5-6 months for

everybody in the u.s. to have access to the virus and we can get out of it. so that's why it's very important right now in order to prevent more deaths as we see the light at the end ebb of the tunnel, as we know that these are coming is to be wearing our masks and stay away from each other. eric: be individual atlanta, apply social distancing, wear masks, the message from dr. alii mokdad. doctor, thank you for that very important advice and thank you for what you're doing. >> thank you. eric: arthel? arthel: well, president trump giving his first post-election interview to fox's "sunday morning futures" today. next, what he saws about judges dismissing most of his lawsuits and the possibility of appealing all the way up to the supreme court. ♪ ♪ your cousin. from boston. there's nothing like a crisp refreshing sam adams boston lager.

what he wants, but i'm not sure that the trump campaign's legal record is going to improve if they make it to the high court. look at what we just saw in the federal appeals court in pennsylvania. essentially, what we're seeing right now is the trump campaign's so-called elite strike force legal team versus trump's own judicial nominees. and the quote that you just read from the judge says that even his own legal appointees are not impressed with the arguments that are being made thus far. again, i'm not sure that anything changes if that, if that case is heard at the supreme court. arthel: so what do you think the statement from the third circuit court of appeals judge on the pennsylvania trump efforts to turn over that election, what do you think that foreshadows about mr. trump's or president trump's legal, his campaign's legal path to the supreme court? >> right. well, already we've seen the trump campaign lose in efforts in arizona and georgia and

michigan and nevada and now in pennsylvania. i mean, there's a list at this point where their legal challenges have have failed. the president has made allegations, he has said again and again that there's massive fraud, but if it is so massive, there should be more evidence of it. we're seeing trump's legal team going to court empty handed, they are unable to make these claims pan out. instead, they are sharing allegations. remember, the president's own department of homeland security said that this was a safe election, they said it was the safest in american history. and, look, the clock is ticking as far as the process is concerned for when the electoral college has to meet and put an end to all of this. arthel: a yes. in fact, i want to take a look at some of the election certification calendar right now starting with december 1st, that's when wisconsin certifies results. then december 8th, that's the deadline when congress mandates that results are considered conclusive. six days before electors meet on

december 14th. again, the electoral college delegation meeting on that day x they vote for president. january 6th is the joint session of congress when they'll formally are count electoral votes and declare official election results, and then on january 20th we a all know is inauguration day. so is time running out for president trump to contest and stop joe biden from being sworn in as the 46th president of the united states? >> time is absolutely running out. and the timeline that you just noted a second ago reminds me of four years ago when then-vice president joe biden was the one who was overseeing a joint session of congress as those electoral college votes were counted, and several times he had to say to dissenting members from his own party that the election was over. at one point he even, you know, slammed the gavel down, said that it was over, and republicans applauded him. i think we're probably going to

see something very similar because, again, there are a lot of allegations, there is not solid proof though that there were enough votes to somehow steal this thing. the president knows that the timeline is tight, and i think that we got a preview of his response when he said on thursday that if the electoral college votes against him, that they made a mistake. arthel: i are have 30 more seconds with you, so you mentioned republicans. what are you hearing from them? leadership, the ranks of the republican party. how long will they stand behind the president at any cost? >> well, what i heard recently is that, you know, vice president mike pence is looking pretty presidential. from one senior administration official, who said that his overseeing of the coronavirus task force, you know, helped him, made him look like he was the adult in the room with his e happened on the steering wheel. but i think republicans know their base really does love the president, and they don't want to anger their base. arthel: 74 million people voted

for president trump. all right, phillip, i do have to leave it there. we'll see you next time, take care. >> thank you, ma'am. arthel: eric. eric: well, arthel, a georgia boy enjoys playing with hot wheels so much, he collected hundreds of toys, and guess what? he's going to give them all away to kids who are in need at christmas. we'll have that inspiring story next. ♪ ♪ all the bells are ringing out. ♪ it's christmas all over again ♪ >> tech: every customer has their own safelite story.

arthel: as we reported earlier this hou, president-elect joe biden is visiting his orthopedist's office in close to his home in wilmington. the transition team says the president-elect twisted his ankle yesterday while playing with his dog at his vacation home and that he went to the doctor out of an abundance of caution s and we're told mr. biden caulked in to the -- walked in to the doctor's office. wish him well. eric. eric: man, that can hurt. well, christmas, as you know, is the season of giving, and one

>> yep. >> and we took a picture, and we posted it on social media. my family and friends started sharing it. >> reporter: from there the collection went from just a few toys to a couple hundred toys in a matter of weeks. >> i have 420. >> reporter: his new goal is to reach 500 toys, and the movement has caught on with people across the country. >> random people from the community, we have some from california, from sooting. -- seattle. so many people have sent hot wheels. >> yeah. this is one i like. reporter: landon's mom says he's always had a big heart, and she's proud to help him make this goal a reality. >> it's just refreshing to see a young kid care about just over people. he's always been that way, he's always been the kid that just wants people to be happy, to see it in this magnitude is really cool. >> reporter: if you're interested in helping, his family says he does have an amazon wish lust set up. if you buy a toy off there, it will be sent directly to their home. we'll link you at fox 5
