jeff beg gapeg gays is in wash. >> it took und operatives, confidential informants and dozens of recordings, investigators say this is a plot in the planning stages since about june. the group had a meeting planned for this week until the fbi moved in. according to an fbi affidavit, the alleged conspirators met in a room under a trapped door in a home, spent the summer training with firearms and explosives and tried to recruit 200 men to storm the state capitol building and take hostages, including governor whitmer who they planned to try for treason. >> they used operational security measures including communicating by encrypted messaging platforms and used code words and phrases. >> reporter: prosecutors say the group eventually decided to kidnap whitmer at herve case home, even going so far as to conduct surveillance there. one ringleader adam fox says governor whitmer has uncontrolled power right now and

described the plan as a snatch and grab. another, barry croft later stated all good things must come to an end. governor whitmer has faced significant pressure from right wing groups for her refusal to lift coronavirus lockdowns, something that made her a favorite target of president trump who in april tweeted liberate michigan. later that month, two of the suspects are seen at the capitol with armed militia groups that had been storming the building to fight pandemic restrictions. some of the suspects were also visible online. their social media accounts riddled with antigovernment and pro gun views. >> these politicians, they keep robbing us and taking our money. >> reporter: information gathered through confidential informants is what ultimately foiled their alleged plot. yesterday governor whitmer thanked law enforcement for their efforts while also pointing the blame at president trump for what she says is legitimizing the actions of extremist groups. >> the president of the united

states stood before the american people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two michigan militia groups. >> the president responded last night. >> i see whitmer today, she's complaining, but it was our justice department that arrested the people that she was complaining about. it was my justice department that arrested them. >> reporter: the militia group identifies itself as the wolverine watchmen. not in the court papers is whether president trump's statements or actions influenced the group in any way. if convicted on all these charges, the suspects face up to life behind bars. gayle. >> i'll take this one, jeff. thank you very much. all the more concerning, just 20-odd days to election day. speaking of election day, president trump says he would like to get back on the campaign trail tomorrow just eight days after being hospitalized for the coronavirus. he's been doing interviews where he says he's doing just fine.

ben tracy is at the white house for us. good morning to you. what's the president's doctor saying. >> reporter: the president's physician, dr. sean conley released an update where he says the president is responding well to treatment, but it does not say whether the president is still contagious or has tested negative. the doctor said the president wouldn't be out of the woods until monday. now he's saying the campaign might be able to campaign saturday. >> i just saw the doctors today. they think i'm in great shape. i'm in great shape. >> reporter: in an interview thursday night, president trump claimed again he's feeling great, but his voice noticeably broken on two occasions. >> the i think the first debate, i will say this, absentee is okay because absentee ballots -- excuse me. >> reporter: the president says he's getting ready to get back on the campaign trail despite cdc guidelines that recommend getting two negative covid tests

before ending isolation. >> the president is, shall we say, in an altered state right now. >> reporter: the news comings as house speaker nancy pelosi plans to form a commission to review president trump's fitness for office. she's concerned about his behavior while taking the powerful steroid dexamethasone. >> his dissociation from reality would be funny if it weren't so deadly. >> reporter: president trump fired back tweeting crazy nancy is the one who should be under observation. >> i went into the hospital a week ago. i was very sick, and i took this medicine and it was incredible. >> reporter: the president claims he's cured and possibly immune, even though there is in cure and immunity is still being studied. >> my understanding is it's private medical history. >> the white house is still refusing to say when the president last tested negative for covid which would help determine how long he's been infected and who he may have exposed to the virus. there are now 25 people associated with president trump or events here at the white

house who have now tested positive for the virus. republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he's not been to the white house in two months because he doesn't feel they're taking the right precautions. joe biden campaigned in as adds yesterday following news the next presidential debate could be in jeopardy. now president trump says he will refuse to debate joe biden after the commission that runs the event announced it would be virtual. ed o'keefe reports on the latest dra drama. >> reporter: president trump insists he wants to take on joe biden but only face to face. it all began thursday when the commission on presidential debates suddenly announced that next thursday's debate will be virtual without consulting either campaign. the president and his team said he'll do a rally instead. the biden camp initially said they would be happy to do a virtual debate on october 15th but later announced they'll do their own down hall. >> donald trump is choosing not to show up. we'll do a down hall and have joe biden talk directly to the

american people. >> reporter: the debate over debates came as everyone other than the president campaigned in the battleground states. >> some people think we did already. >> reporter: so were joe biden and kamala harris appearing together on the trail for the first time since their convention. democrats want to turn arizona blue for the first time since 1996. the cbs news battleground tracker shows biden up five points in the grand canyon state. in phoenix he praised harris for her beb date performance. >> got to give me great credit for knowing how to pick 'em, right? >> reporter: he slammed the president for referring to harris as a, quote, monster. >> it's obvious he cannot -- he has great difficulty dealing with strong women, great difficulty. >> reporter: the debate commission says the debate is still on the the candidates want to change their schedules and show up. the biden camp says, nope, we'll see you on the 22nd. the trump campaign says how

about we push both of them back, hold another one on 22nd and the 29th. the biden campaign says, huh-uh, that's too late on the campaign calendar. tony, just throw this on the pile of 2020. >> i was going to say you'll need a diagram to keep track of it all. thank you, ed. we'll turn to louisiana which is preparing for another hurricane to strike tonight. cars stretch for miles on interstate 10 yesterday where people were driving west away from hurricane delta's projected impact. delta is now a category 3 storm gaining strength as it approaches the gulf coast. it is likely to ravage an area where another storm in late august caused more than 30 fatalities. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in jennings, louisiana, that's between lake charles and lafayette. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we're starting to get some of the early rain bands moving through jennings. we're standing in what's going to be the bullseye spot for hurricane delta. this place is under a mandatory

evacuation order. it's a ghost town. the story over the last 24 hours has been the people evacuating. those people affected by hurricane laura six weeks ago are having to evacuate yet again. jen shirley and her four kids packed up their rental home yesterday to evacuate yet again. the family relocated the broussard over a month ago after hurricane laura damaged their home in lake charles, about 82 miles away. this is what their home looks like now. jen's husband matt had to stay behind. >> where is your dad? >> he's trying to provide money for us. that's why we're here without him. >> reporter: now hurricane delta is forcing the shirleys to leave their broussard refuge. >> how does everybody feel about evacuating again? >> i'm worried about the debris. >> there's so many people in tents back in lake charles. >> reporter: southwest louisiana is still reeling from the

devastation inflicted by hurricane laura in late august. blue tarps handed out by fema protect thousands of damaged homes in lake charles. >> there's a physical preparation and mental preparation. >> reporter: 23-year-old cassidy worked her last shift before heading to houston with her mother, sister and brother. they sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours. you know who else's evacuated to houston? the shirleys. what should have taken three hours, turned into a nine-hour haul. jen told us she fears the future in her hometown of lake charles. >> i know our kids will be fine. i'm a mamma hen. i protect them really well. it's just the unknown. >> reporter: oh, that shirley family. they had such optimism. we wish them the best. when they are able to go back to lake charles, jen was telling us they'll be living in a trailer in the front yard of their home. one more thing, louisiana's governor said in a worst case

scenario, people here need a plan to be on their own for 48 to 72 hours before emergency officials may be able to get to them in some of the hardest-hit areas. >> david, stay safe out there. meteorologist and climate specially jeff berardelli is watching delta's expected path over the next 24 hours. good morning to you. the storm is a category 3, what will happen at landfall? >> we think it's probably going to weaken because water temperatures are a bit cooler. this is a formidable storm, still with winds of 120 miles an hour making it a major hurricane. as the storm moves north, it will begin to weaken. that red water, 82, 83 degrees. this, 79 degrees. that's why we think it's going to weaken. as it makes landfall early this evening, late this afternoon, it's only going to be 20 miles from wherera madeandfal six weeks ago. this is a cat 4. this will be a cat 2, cat 3.

it's strong and large. hurricane force winds double what they were when it was over the caribbean. that's typical. look at these cat 2, cat 3 winds with compromised vulnerable structures. we're likely to see lots of damage in this area. by the way, around 7 to 11 feet of storm surge. by tomorrow morning, the storm will weaken. once this makes landfall, it's the tenth system to make landfall this season. that makes ard ro. we're at 25 named storms. we get to 28 we tie. we get to 29, we break a record for the most hurricanes, most tropical systems in any season. anthony. >> not a landmark you like to see. great to see you in the studio again. welcome back. the number of coronavirus cases is rising faster than we've seen in weeks. more than 56,000 americans reported cases yesterday in the u.s., the largest daily increase since mid august. more than 3,000 of them are in wisconsin where drivers lined up in madison waiting for hours to

get tested. it was the state's largest one-day number yet. mollah lenghi is in milwaukee where officials say this is a very serious problem. >> right now state of wisconsin we are in a bad place. >> reporter: milwaukee mayor said wisconsin surge in coronavirus hospitalizations is very dangerous. >> we continue to be in top 5 in both per capita number of cases and total number of cases. that is not where wee at all. ts week, high demand for covid tests led to long lines and wait times of up to three hours. this wisconsin medical facility says hundreds of staffers are out sick or in quarantine with hospitalizations up about 500%. health officials say a perfect storm of factors is behind the surge. >> we initially saw the increases in colleges and universities. that certainly spread well beyond the boundaries.

>> accepted i was going to die. >> reporter: 19-year-old alexandria contracted the virus in april. she spent more than two weeks in the hospital barely able to breathe. she still suffers from rashes and hair loss. >> i'm also a musician. i study clarinet and, you know, i used to be able two for hours, no problem. now i can go for about 35 minutes and i have coughing fits. my chest burns. i can't catch my breathe. >> i'm sure you see folks out in the community, out in the world who are maybe disregarding some of the guidelines. what do you think when you see that. >> i alw

times ♪ >> i like it. >> whatever it takes to get you to wear a mask. >> wear that mask. >> nicely done. nicely done. nicely done. we're going begin with a violent and shocking right wing plot to kidnap and possibly kill the democratic governor of michigan. officials say the plan included months of planning, weapons and explosives training. and even the idea of trying governor whitmer for what they called treason. jeff bee about a is jeff begay in washington details on the story. what are these men accused of planning? >> investigators, gayle say the suspects wanted to topple governments.

that they believe have become too powerful and so they hatched this plot that was supposed to be set in motion in the days leading up to the election. but of course the fbi moved in and now six of the thirteen are charged with federal crimes. at one point officials say suspect adam fox wanted to recruit 200 men to help storm the michigan capital and take hostages, including governor whitmer. they say fox and others met in a basement under a trapped door in his business back in june and later trained with firearms and explosives. eventually, according to investigators they decided to kidnap whitmer at her vacation home and scouted the area. this picture shows two of the suspects who were part of a protest inside the michigan state capitol back in april. protests like that one involve armed demonstrators were held earlier this year over whitmer's strict lockdowns.

governor whitmer criticized president trump saying his words and actions encouraged these groups. president trump responded and condemned both left and right wing groups. and at this time we looked at the court documents. nothing in the documents says the president's actions or statements influence the action of militia members. anthony back to you. >> jeff, thanks for more on the alleged plot we're joined by michigan attorney general dana nessel. good morning. how close were these suspects to actually carrying out this plot? >> well they had all the means to do it. they had been in training exercises. we think they had the necessary equipment, artillery, explosives. things of that nature. and we thought the trainings had gone on long enough. and as i like to say, i'd rather have the weakest conspiracy case rather than the strongest homicide. and we were very concerned that it was moving towards action.

but that being the case i -- this is not a weak case. these are very compelling and strong cases. and clearly this was not just talk. these were many overt actions. so we thought it was time to move in before anybody lost their lives. >> and when was the governor made aware of this plot against her? >> we've been consistently updating the governor as events occurred over the last couple of months. so she was aware of things that were happening. at times she and her family had been moved around. as a result of activities that, you know, law enforcement was aware of. >> oh that's interesting. as jeff pointed out there were 13 people charged overall. 6 federally, 7 by the state. it wasn't just a plot against the governor. they attempted to identify home addresses of law enforcement officers and intended to instigate civil war. do you expect more people could be charged in this case?

>> well, let's just say this. the state and federal authorities have been working together. we have a task force and there are at lot of groups that we've been looking at. lot of individuals we've been looking at. do i expect further charges related to this series of groups that seem to be operating together, not just in the state of michigan but across several states and many jurisdictions? yes i do. >> governor whitmer accused president trump of being complicit in fomenting extremism. the president said it was my justice department that brought charges. what is your take on this? >> i will say this. i've had the opportunity to work with federal authorities many times over the years as a state prosecutor. and we've always enjoyed a good working relationship. so irrespective of who the president is, you know, these federal law enforcement agencies

and officers take their jobs very seriously. but that being the case, i will say it is very unhelpful when you have a group of these individuals, armed to the teeth, who storm our state capitol, hovering over our state senators and threatening them and then the governor -- sorry, the president calls them very good people who the governors should sit down and negotiate with. and it turns out of course these were the same people that ultimately were charged. so i can't imagine being a person in that position of authority and i will say of the top law enforcement official in this state, i can't imagine seeing people who behave in that manner and then encouraging them and then in fact indicating that our governor should negotiate with them. i think that's fundamentally unhelpful from a law enforcement perspective. >> do you think the president understands the power of his words? when he speaks this way. that people may hear his words very differently than he intends them to be?

>> i don't know if he doesn't understand the power of his words, or if he does very well understand the power of his words and he's trying to incite some sort of chaos or anarchy, that frankly these groups thrive upon. either way, you know, i guess my message would be, to him and to any other elective leaders that sort of traffic in this sort of rhetoric to understand the power of their words. and that when they say these things, people not only listen, but they respond. and so some of the things that i've heard the president say over the course of the last several years, especially of the debate even last week, i would say i think that it is not just a dog whistle. but sometimes even a rallying cry for these types of organizations and these types of individuals who are very bad actors that seek to harm others and damage, frankly, american society.

do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. if you're living with hiv, keep loving who you are. and ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you.

this pandemic devastating the airline industry with commercial air travel down nearly 70% from last year. that is a big drop. last week u.s. airlines started furloughing 10s of thousands of employees from the flight attendants to the baggage handlers. so far delta has avoided any furloughs but more than 10,000 employees have taken unpaid leave of absence and more than 17,000 accepts --. the airline may now have to begin furloughst next month. ed bastian joins us to discuss. always good to see you. sorry it is under these circumstances. so what needs to happen at your company to keep employees on the

job? >> well thanks for having me gayle. good to talk to you as well. i certainly -- we don't know first of all what is going to happen in washington. i bns a real roller coaster around stimulus and airline aid changes by the day. i certainly hope employees who hve been furloughed get quickly called back to work. i asked at the start of the pandemic to do everything they could to preserve cash, to preserve jobs for each other. we had almost half the company take unpaid leaves of absence throughout the summer. all voluntarily. another 20% as you mentioned took early retirement. so as a result of that, they have protected their jobs. for almost all of our work groups we will not be facing furloughs come this winter. we are still working with our pilots union. they are the lone exception. hopefully we'll get to that same

position but for flow at delta we've been able to avoid furloughs, which is great. >> really great. but the airline relief bill, it is not looking good. what is your message to washington to get them to understand how dire this is? what is really at stake here. >> be well this is 30 thousand jobs for employees that we want to get back into the industry. it is about keeping our national infrastructure in place. the airline employees have worked throughout this entire pandemic selflessly, keeping the airways gob open getting people who need to get to places to their homes, to their loved ones in times of crisis. and we think the government support, which has worked for the six months keeping this airline industry in tact has been quite effective. but at this present time the virus isn't where we thought it would be when first c.a.r.e.s. act was passed. so hopefully the second

extension will get us into the spring and then we'll all boo >> ito picp t m lastoi ering if we give you a lifelong, exactly how long hoff a lifeline is it going to be? what is your best guess at present for when the airline industry will be back to something like normal. >> right now as gayle mentioned we're at about 30% of prior year levels, which is dramatic. much better than its been. travel is starting to slowly pick up. we expect for the upcoming holiday seasons, hopefully we'll get a nice bump. but as you look at confidence that we're doing, certainly at delta, to restore travel amongst customers when you look at our customers are telling us about their satisfaction which is an all time high with the initiatives that we have taken and you look at that combinaion with the advances in the medical

field around vaccines, testing, tracing, therapeutics. hopefully in six months time by the spring we'll be in a very different place. i don't expect we'll be through this by the spring. but we should certainly be at a much better place to start to see real sustained recovery. >> you mention you are hoping for a bump around the holiday season. i certainly hope that for you. but you have got the cdc telling people, you know, do your thanksgiving locally. stay inside. don't travel. so given that, you know, how likely is it that in the near term is going to be a benefit? well, you know, first, while we say we're at 30%. we still have lot of people traveling. at delta this week, we're going to carry a million people. so it is not as if people are not traveling. >> sorry to cut you off. i lost my train of flight there, in flight as you might say. but i found it again. given the cdc saying don't travel for thanksgiving. what is your message to people about how safe it is to get on a

airplane today. >> pe are still very carried. >> people are worried. >> it is absolutely safe. and i respect the cdc guidance. i talk to dr. redfield all the time. it is not, you know, certainly if you are at risk you should not be traveling. but that is not true for everybody. we have over a million people a week that are traveling and it is entirely safe. you know, there is couple data points on that. just yesterday the international airline association came out with a stat that this year on a global basis, over one billion people have traveled in the year. over one million. there are 42 documents cased of transmission of the virus on board aircraft. worldwide. and almost all of those were in the first couple of months in january through march before masks were in place and before all the protocols in place and virtually no documented transmissions over the last few months. at delta we don't have a single documented transmission of virus

spread on our planes. and we are wearing over a million people a week. so i think people need to understand and look at the facts. they need to make a decision what's right for them but the reality is, is air travel is incredibly safe. >> is there a certain section you should sit in that's safer than others? the front, the middle, the back ed bastian? then we got to go dw gayle i know you sitting up front -- >> sure. diffusen thank you, they're all great seats. >> they're all great seats. they're all great seats. >> -- ellie goulding said -- finding a husband got her music career back on track. you go ellie. you are watching "cbs this morning." oscar the grouch here to tell you, yeah, you,
