americans are on the move for memorial day weekend. you're looking at three of the nation's airports. we're gonna show you how they're prepared. >> more than 50,000 flights scheduled. gio is tracking it all at dallas ft. worth airport. >> reporter: good morning, to you. it is a busy morning at dfw. the planes are fueled up. they are ready to go. american airlines says half a million passengers will fly out of this airport for this holiday weekend. this morning the travel rush for memorial day weekend now officially under way. >> lot of traffic coming in, so i'm glad we're here early. >> reporter: with 42 million americans expected to travel for the holiday, 3.4 million of them flying, airports and passengers are bracing for it all. this as officials warn that incidents like these are on the rise at some airports. unruly travellers causing chaos. this incident monday at
7:04 am
chicago's o'hare. one of the busiest airports in america. two people were arrested at baggage claim. in atlanta last friday, police say a man now charged with assault, randomly punched another passenger on an air train. >> relax, relax. >> we have seen an increase in this type of behavior in atlanta airport and across the industry. >> reporter: the world's busiest airport now requesting more funding for security. and after so many staffing and weather issues across the airline industry, the big question now, are airlines ready for the first big test before the summer? american airlines taking us behind the scenes at the hub control center here in dallas. are you fully staffed now? do you have more people than last year? >> oh, yes. we learned a lot over the pandemic. >> reporter: and american airlines telling us, along with just about every other airline, that they are ready for this big holiday weekend. we just checked today's
7:05 am
cancellations and delays. so far very, very few of them. that is good news. but michael, fingers crossed. >> thank you, gio. the roads are gonna be busy, too, with an estimated 37 million americans expected to drive. matt gutman has the best and worst times to hit the road. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, michael. experts predict that friday is going to be the busiest travel day for memorial day weekend. experts say everybody out there should probably brace themselves for some delays. behind me the 101 freeway in los angeles, known to be pretty traffic. aaa predicting 37 million motorists will be on the roads this holiday weekend. that's the third most since 2000. obviously, people are starting to drive more since the pandemic. one of the things getting people out on the roads again are those gas prices. down about a dollar since this time last year causing people to opt for driving rather than
7:06 am
flying. and the experts tell us that one of the main traffic hassles is going to be the convergence of commuter rush hour traffic in big metro areas like los angeles and memorial day weekend traffic. to help illustrate that, we've got our friend scott wife up there, air 7 from our friends showing us, looks like a traffic snarl on the 405 freeway. so to avoid that, the experts say try to get out early on saturday and sunday, the earlier the better or late at night. pretty much no time on friday is going to be very convenient for folks. they also say check your tire, your fluids and your brakes before you leave and bring some snacks as well. michael. >> thanks, matt. i know they just want to have a great trip. ginger will tell us if they'll roll the windows down? they got to turn the heat on? the windshield wipers? what do you have? >> lot of people will be using
7:07 am
those windshield wipers in the southeast, which i'll get to. we have severe storms. we've had more than 70 reports in the last 24 hours. eight of them tornados and land spouts. this one caught there in new mexico. what we'll end up doing the seeing the storms develop today in two pockets along those low pressure systems that you'll see there. in the western plains and up in the northern rockies. what we will also see is heavy rain. it was developing in florida, this thing. those are the low low clouds and the thunderstorms around the airplanes trying to get in and out at miami. ft. lauderdale picked up another 4 to 5 inches. they're gonna get more. that storm stays in the mid-atlantic. northeast stays clear. if you're driving i 95 or trying to get in the water, high surf as well. george? >> thank you very much. we're gonna get the latest on the race for the white house. florida governor ron desantis launched his run for the republican nomination. it was an unusual kickoff marred by technical glitches. jon karl has the story. >> reporter: good morning,
7:08 am
george. it wasn't the campaign launch that ron desantis had hoped for. but the florida governor is at, least for the moment, the more formidable challenger to donald trump. ultimately ron desantis made it official by releasing a flashy video. >> i'm ron desantis and i'm running for president to lead our great american comeback. >> reporter: but his plan to kick things off with a controversy with billionaire elon musk on twitter, was a mess. >> we are kind of melting the servers. >> reporter: riddled with technical difficulties, roundly mocked on conservative media, fox news calling it a disaster. desantis claims the problems were caused because the add again was so large. the app showed there were less than 300,000 people listening in, a tiny fraction of musk's 140 million twitter followers. once the conversation started he talked about cultural issues and made a plea for support. >> we have a lot of work to do
7:09 am
to ensure the country gets back on track. i ask everybody listening to please join me on this mission. >> reporter: donald trump mocked it all on his social media platform. his campaign said in a statement, glitchy, tech issue, uncomfortable silences. a complete failure to launch. and that's just the candidate. despite the rough start, desantis has advantages. the 44-year-old governor won reelection last year in a 19 point land slide. he has raised more money, by far, than any other republican challenger to trump. desantis said nothing critical of trump as he launched his campaign, but the former president has been hitting him hard. and another republican contender said desantis can't win by just trying to be like trump. >> he needs to be his own person. he needs to get out there and say what he believes, what he think. if he's going to be an echo for trump, people will just vote for trump. >> reporter: desantis' next move is a meeting behind closed doors here at the four seasons in
7:10 am
miami. with some of the big money supporters and donors to his campaign, where they will try to raise more money for a campaign, george, that already has a lot of it. >> impressive campaign schedule, jon? >> reporter: well, it's not gonna start until next week. the first public event will be tuesday of next week when he goes on a four day campaign swing to iowa, new hampshire and south carolina, those critical early primary states. >> jon karl, thank you very much. robin? >> george, to the latest on the debt ceiling showdown. at this hour, still no deal, as concerns grow in washington and on wall street. let's go to rachel scott who is tracking the latest from capitol hill. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: robin, good morning. three weeks of negotiations, seven days until a catastrophic default and still no deal. in fact, members of the house are now scheduled to leave town on recess in just a few hours. lawmakers were told they would need to return right back here
7:11 am
to washington within 24 hours if an agreement is reached. negotiators met at the white house for four hours yesterday. house speaker kevin mccarthy told us that progress has been made, but just not enough to really clinch a deal. republicans are not budging on this. they say they will not raise the debt limit until the president agrees to deep spending cuts. the president seems to be on the same page about clawing back covid funds. what is clear, if a deal is reached, they would have to move quickly. it would need to be written, read and voted on by both members of congress, all before june 1st. this is down to the wire, george. >> it sure is. thanks. it is hitting wall street hard as investors face growing fears of a default. elizabeth schulze has the latest. >> reporter: wall street is starting to worry the government could run out of cash and face a downgrade to its status as the world's most reliable borrower. overnight, the aaa credit rating was on negative watch, citing
7:12 am
debt ceiling brinksmanship. this isn't a downgrade like we saw back in 2011, but it is a sign that a major credit rating agency fears the u.s. might not be able to pay back its debt. as of now, it does still expect there will be a deal in time, but traders are getting more anxious, too. the dow closed lower for four days in a row, dropping about 250 points yesterday. it is not just americans investments at risk here. payments for social security, medicare, va benefits could be delayed. if you are expecting a payment from the federal government at the start of the month, now is a good time to make a game plan. prioritize which of your own bills are due and take stock of any emergency savings, robin. >> that is a good game plan. elizabeth, thank you. now to new troubles. new troubles for alex murdaugh. the once prominent attorney convicted of killing his wife and son is facing a number of new federal charges. eva pilgrim is here with those details. >> reporter: alex murdaugh
7:13 am
talked about these financial crimes before. he's admitted to stealing money from client, family, even his law firm. now he's facing more criminal charges for taking that money and how he did it. this morning new trouble for disgraced south carolina attorney alex murdaugh, the lawyer already serving life in prison for the murders of his wife maggie and son paul, now facing federal charges. 22 new counts, including bank fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. the charges involve millions of dollars of client settlement money murdaugh previously admitted he stole, including funds from the children of his housekeeper gloria saterfield, >> i remember lying to tony saterfield. and i remember looking him in the eye on many occasions. >> and lying to him? >> yeah. >> okay. lying to his family?
7:14 am
>> i lied to his family. >> reporter: these new federal charges come in addition to the nearly 100 other charges he's already facing for financial crimes. >> is he gonna plead guilty to all of it? or is he still going to go to trial on some of it, on certain charges? admit to some and fight others? that we'll have to see. >> reporter: murdaugh's legal team saying alex has been cooperating with the united states attorney's office and federal agency in their investigation of a broad range of activities. we anticipate that the charges brought today will be quickly resolved without a trial. murdaugh also in a recent court filing claiming that his former housekeeper didn't trip and fall over his dogs when she died in an accident at the family's home. that case is also on going. robin? >> all right. thank you very much, eva. we're gonna turn now to a stunning medical break through ca walk again.paeu
7:15 am
it gives doctors for hope. will, will break through holds special significance for you. >> it does,ufred apil cord injuy in 1995. he dedicated the final years of his life, his remarkable life, for fighting for a cure for paralysis and for many reasons i wish he were here today to see how far the research has come. this break through sounds like science fiction, but it's real and holds great promise for a right future. this morning a medical break through. researchers using the power of one man's thoughts to help overcome his decade long battle with paralysis. >> of course, you dream of walking. >> reporter: overnight, speaking with abc news, describing the 2011 motorcycle crash that left him paralyzed from the waist down. >> i tried everything at home. trying to stand up and making
7:16 am
step, but it wasn't enough. >> reporter: last year, researchers in switzerland surgically inserted electronic implants to the areas of his brain and spinal cord that control movement. with the help of artificial intelligence, ai, they built what they call a digital bridge between his brain and spine, bypassing his injuries, essentially putting his thoughts into action. >> so i think about moving my leg and then the stimulation gets me close to make the step. >> reporter: while this type of ai has been used in medicine for decades, now researchers are saying this is the first successful sending a signal to the spine. >> we re-establish this communication with a digital bridge that turns thoughts into action. >> reporter: his small steps a potentially giant leap for
7:17 am
patients with spinal cord injury. even when the implants are turned off, he said he can still walk with the help of crutches. >> our mission is to bring it to other people. >> reporter: it's still the very early stages. he is the first human to have this procedure done. it's not yet widely available to patients. but this news provides the most valuable currency for spinal cord injury patients. hope. it offers impeer call proof by the creed which my father lived. nothing is impossible. >> we're seeing that now. huge advocate for spinal cord injury research. you could say that what we're seeing today is for direct impact on what he was lobbying for and pushing for. >> if i could be a proud son for a moment, you can draw a straight line from his advocacy, bringing so much attention and money to research, trying to find cures to developments like today. i said i wish he were here for a million reason, many of them personal, but also he would be the first in line to sign up for this procedure.
7:18 am
he always said, oh to be a rat because they were always testing rats. this is a huge moment in the community. >> he's here in ways you don't realize. >> i had the privilege of knowing your folks and working with them. they are so proud of you. they are so proud of you, as we are. >> all right, will. coming up, celebrating the queen of rock 'n' roll. tina turner's enormous impact on music and the new generation of stars she influenced. but first let's go back to ginger. >> that super typhoon, the strongest to move through the region near guam in 60 years. luckily, no loss of life but plenty of damage on the island. that thing looks like a monster moving away. it is now 165 mile per hour winds with gusts to 200. it will not impact anyone for quite a while here. looks like it turns from the philippines and weakens as it goes towards taiwan. your local weather in 30 seconds.

8:52 am
>> i don't know. one that seems most likely is the mar a-lago documents case and the obstruction. easiest there to prove donald trump's state of mind, which is a challenge i think to prove in any environment. but for that case it strikes me as the most likely one to result in charges. >> you're already working on your nest novel? >> i have it on draft. out for loving feed back from the next layer of family members. >> thanks for coming in. central park west is out on tuesday. hear more
