janet, thank you. in addition to the historic winds, other parts of the country today will see heavy rain and possible flash flooding. on friday, emergency crews worked to fix power lines that came down when an apparent tornado cut through mobile county, alabama. there are no reports of any serious injuries. meteorologist jeff berardelli has more on the nation's weather there and elsewhere. good morning. >> good morning, everyone. i do want to start in the west. there is no exaggeration here. this is likely to be the strongest wind event of the season by far starting tonight into tomorrow. you can see all the alerts that are out right now. high wind warnings, red flag warnings. let me tell you why this is happening. high pressure's going to be building in later today and tonight. behind this front right here. now it's going to tap very dry air which is in the inner mountain west and force it down the hillsides. as the wind rolls down the hill, it accelerates, it also compresses because we're forcing

this wind downward. and by doing that, it warms up and it dries out the soil making it very flammable. so here are the winds -- not as barzee today, but -- not as breezy today, but watch, winds will start gusting over 70, possibly as high as 80 miles per hour in the foothills of the sierra-nevada and north bay. the wind will translate south into southern california later tomorrow, tomorrow night, into monday morning. let's put this in perspective. because of a warmer climate, the risk for western wildfires has been going up. fire season is two to three months longer than it used to be. the area burned has doubled since the 1970s. the risk is increasing due to warmer air, drier vegetation, and more homes in prone areas for fires. now on the other side of the country, it's the complete opposite. we had a tropical depression that died overnight last night merging with a front, causing a lot of heavy rain. that means a miserable night in places like the great lakes,

chicago, green bay, detroit. tomorrow, a stormy sunday for the big cities right here in the east. >> thank you. nobody can escape. in other news, the justice department is considering its next move this morning after a federal judge ordered it to turn over secret grand jury testimony from robert mueller's russia investigation to the house this coming week. the ruling is being seen as a victory for democrats and potential new fuel for the impeachment inquiry into president trump. ben tracy is at the white house with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is a big deal for democrats because in this ruling, the judge say that their impeachment inquiry is lawful. that severely undercuts the arguments of the white house and the president who have been calling this illegitimate, a sham, and a witch-hunt. >> we're being destroyed and humiliated -- >> reporter: at a historically black college friday, president trump compared the way minorities experience the criminal justice system with his own impeachment inquiry. >> and i have my own experience,

you know that. you see what's going on with the witch-hunt. it's a terrible thing that's going on in our country. it's an investigation in search of a crime. >> reporter: that investigation is moving quickly. democrats on friday iued three more subpoenas for administration officials to testify before congress, including the acting director of the white house budget office. and cbs news has learned that attorneys for former national security adviser john bolton are consulting with lawmakers about cooperating. >> i had a perfect conversation with the president of ukraine. perfect. >> reporter: while the president continues to insist he did not ask ukraine to investigate joe biden anhis family in exchange for military aid, the white house is scrambling to form a communications team dedicated to dealing with the impeachment inquiry. although mr. trump says there is only one defender-in-chief. >> here's the thing -- i don't have teams, everyone's talking about teams. i'm the team. i did nothing wrong.

>> reporter: in some possible good news for the president, the justice department has launched a criminal investigation into how its own probe of russian election interference began in 2016. the president has long wanted an investigation of the investigators. >> i will tell you this -- i think you're going to see a lot of really bad things. >> reporter: now republicans on capitol hill and senior administration officials here at the white house tell cbs news that the president's team is losing the messaging battle on impeachment. the hope is that by having a rapid response team they can try to fix that. jeff? >> ben, thank you so much. the trump hotel which sits just down the street from the white house may soon be on the market. the property leased from the federal government by the president's family has been a go-to destination for lobbyists, foreign governments, and federal officials. as weijia jiang reports, it's also raised questions over whether president trump is profiting from his presidency. >> reporter: since its opening shortly before the 2016

election, the hotel on pennsylvania avenue has brought money and controversy to the trump family. in a statement, the president's son, eric trump, said it might be sold because people are objecting to us making so much money. >> you beat out a number of competitors to get this. >> it's amazing. we beat out pretty much everyone in the luxury hotel space. >> reporter: cbs news got an exclusive look at the hotel in 2014 after the trump organization leased the old post office building from the federal government and now brings in more than $40 million in revenue each year and could be sold for a half billion. president trump himself has dined and visited the hotel 23 times. other executive branch officials have made nearly 400 trips there. mr. trump's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, was photographed at the hotel with two associates since arrested in the ukraine countries controversy. the president of the philippines picked it to host an event, one

of several foreign officials to use the property. >> you people with these phony e emallments clou s clause -- >> the trump hotel is an unnecessary nuisance in the view of a lot of republicans. they would just as soon he get rid of it. >> reporter: republicans also objected to president trump picking his doral resort in florida to host the g7 summit. the trump team cocaine could be off -- team could be off loading inquiries as the 2020 race heats up. 24 days after suffering a heart attack, bernie sanders was back on the presidential campaign trail. the vermont senator was in iowa and says he feels better than ever after undergoing heart surgery. sanders is focusing his message in iowa on his fight against corporate greed. he tells cbs news he believes the wealthiest americans are

addicted to money and are willing to exploit the working class to further enrich themselves. >> we are in situations where companies cut back on the health care of their workers or the wages of their workers in order to give, you know, unbelievably large compensation packages to their ceos or do stock buybacks which enrich their stockholders at the expense of the workers. so greed for some of these people has literally become a religion. i need more, more, more. like a drug addict. >> sanders also took aim at his rivals for the democratic nomination saying he's proud his campaign does not, quote, sit in rich people's living rooms to raise money. the congressional budget office says this year's federal deficit is the highest it's been since president obama's first term. the deficit is up 26% from 2018 due to spending increases that outpaced revenue growth at a 2-1 rate. it reached more than $984

spent with him, every conversation we ever had. >> reporter: cummings, the son of sharecroppers, rose from humble beginnings in baltimore to become the chairman of the powerful house oversight committee where he led several investigations into the trump administration. >> like the prophet, our elijah could call down fire from heaven, like the old testament prophet he stood against corruption leadership -- >> reporter: maya cummings, the congressman's widow, acknowledged president trump's personal attacks on cummings and the city of baltimore when he called a rat-infested city, had taken a toll. >> it hurt him. they were trying to tear him down, and we needed to make sure that we went out with the respect and the dignity that he deserved.

plan behind it. >> reporter: andrew volstead and will other progressives thought bars allowed men to drink their paychecks away, while the family suffered. in some cases was abused at home. >> women are suffering from the blows of drunken husbands as in the days when the saloon had right of way. >> reporter: he felt strongly that morality could be legislated? >> yes. >> reporter: they'd been legislating morality since the bible. >> here's one other law you should follow it. >> reporter: a social group of conservatives were also worried about the country's direction. >> remember, this is a period between 188 9 and 1920 millions of immigrants entering the country. there's anxiety among protestant middle-class men and women over how the immigrants are changing the face of the nation, including their leisure and

drinking habits. >> reporter: despite its expanding power, the federal government struggled to enforce prohibition which led to unwelcome opportunities for others. >> the ku klux klan recruited during the 1920s instrumentalizing the vold stead act and arguing if the federal government, state, and your local police are not able to rein in violations, we will. >> reporter: he was the most hated man in america. >> yes. >> reporter: he did not look like a sympathetic character which worked against him. >> no, he didn't. >> reporter: volstead became the face of everything going wrong. >> he didn't take into account people's personal a dictions -- he didn't take into that there seems to be a problem when the government tries to tinker with people's personal choices. >> yes, yes, exactly. you know, because you're taking away people's rights to actually decide for themselves. >> reporter: melaine gabbert gatchel believes volstead was well intended. she continues to share his story as lisa educates on the wider,

long-lasting impact of the 18th amendment. was any part of prohibition a success? >> it is known that in the wake of the law, consumption seemed to have declined. after prohibition, the level of consumption declined by about 30% from what it was in about 1914. you can say that w a positive impact. >> prohibition is repealed. >> reporter: beyond that, mcgur says before prohibition saloons were basically men only, bars that emerged after welcomed everyone. >> it's the moment where women really come out in a large way in these spaces and creates essentially the kind of social form of leisure we've known since. >> reporter: the world we live in today. >> yes, exactly. >> we normally have cocktails at 8:30. >> right. >> we have coffee here. >> didn't know so much of that. what's interesting, though, that women largely put the volstead

act into law, and yet, the flip side of it was the bar scene was now open to women -- it was an odd combination of social progressives and serves who came together to push for prohibition. now on the timeline, basically the 18th amendment, only 111 words. the volstead act that codified and executed the 18th amendment, the volstead act was 25 pages long. the raeason they picked volstea is because he was such a good law writer which is why it lasted as long as it did last. again, the legacy continues. >> amazing that they were able to pull this over. >> it lasted for 14 years. if you are heading out the door, don't forget, it won't take 14 years, set your dvr. you can record "cbs this morning saturday." on the front lines of wars around the world and troubles closer to home, we're going to talk to acclaimed photojournalist sir don mccollum about his life and work. what motivated former slave

we have quick bread here which is in the savory chapter of the book. we have savory baked goods. lots of wisconsin sharp cheddar, beer background. the brisket is what i like to call a german braised brisket. rather than any barbecue sauce with vinegar, we're going to use sauerkraut for the tang. apple sauce for sweetness. this is a roasted pear and crumpkin soup perfect for fall. there is a poke cake. it is sort of a modern twist from scratch version of that kitschy retro classic. >> the midwest had such an impact on you, and as somebody who's from here, the food really is different. why did you feel the need, though, to create the book that you have now after having such a varied background? >> to be honest, the great tony morrison said if -- i'm going to ruin this quote -- but if you can't find the book you want to read, you have to write it, right? so when i moved back to the midwest after living in california for 13 years, i wanted to sort of have an

heirloom recipe collection that could tell the story of foods they grew up with and others grew up with. there wasn't a book quite like it. i think a big part is the immigrant influences that are so deeply embedded in the region that we don't even know that they're there. that was the fun part for me is pulling out the roots of all of these things i really took for granted for a long time. >> how do you go from broadcast journalism? >> do you want to make the switch? >> no. >> no, truthfully, i worked on entertainment news. after a while it felt a little thin, you know. and i got into food, sort of the very beginning of food blogs, as a way to remember where i came from. and i was in l.a. at the time, but it really helped connect me to home. and then that sort of grew. i started writing recipes professionally, and then started writing books. >> you can be assured, this is sick. >> delicious. >> and we -- we missed this piece -- >> the cocktail. yes. anyone watching in nebraska now knows what this is. right here. this is red beer. so it's sort of like a mexicanm
