he didn't make a profit from it. thomas has been under intense media scrutiny for his relationships with crow and other wealthy conservatives, who picked up the tab for luxury vacations on private jets and yachts, prompting criticism from democrats that he didn't disclose some financial benefits, even if friends like crow never had business before the court. >> if there is -- and i quote -- reasonable cause to believe, closed quote, that justice thomas willfully failed to file, then it must refer him to the justice department for further investigation. >> reporter: thomas' attorney says those suggestions were ridiculous and motivated by hatred for his judicial philosophy. now, justice thomas did not amend his reports to disclose travel like those luxury trips from years past. he has maintained that under the old disclosure rules, it wasn't required. this is the first report, the first year under new rules that make clear justices going

forward need to disclose that kind of travel. he says he's following the rules, and that's what he's done from this report. norah. >> jan crawford, thank you. tonight there are more questions about the health of the senate's top republican. even senator mitch mcconnell's hometown newspaper had an editorial today saying the republican needs to come clean about his health. and as cbs's cot scott macfarla it comes on the same day we heard from the capitol physician. >> reporter: 24 hours after this startling incident -- >> it's, uh -- >> reporter: in which mitch mcconnell went silent and stared expressionless until an aide intervened, congress' attending physician says he consulted with mcconnell and mcconnell's neurology team and has cleared the 81-year-old republican leader to resume his schedule, writing occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration. mcconnell was hospitalized in march with a concussion. cbs news has learned mcconnell worked the phones to reassure

colleagues, including a call to texas republican john cornyn. >> we know he's had a fall and a concussion, and i think, you know, this may be just part of the recovery process from that. >> reporter: allies pointed to his presence at a fund-raiser wednesday night for fellow republican jim banks, an effort to show mcconnell is fit to lead. >> they're going to do that when they come back into session as well to quell any dissension. they know right now that people are talking privately. they want to make sure that remains private and not public. >> reporter: yesterday's was the second such public freeze-up by mcconnell in just over a month. this was july at the capitol. >> do you want to say anything else to the press? >> reporter: late today president biden said he has no doubts mcconnell can continue. >> i spoke to him today, and, you know, he was his old self only the telephone. >> reporter: but in a narrowly divided senate where the average age is now 65 years old with four members over 80, including mcconnell, every absence is pivotal, and he's already missed more votes this year than all but a few members. it's worth emphasizing the

capitol physician says he consulted mcconnell, not that he met with or observed him in person. the senate reconvenes here tuesday. mcconnell likely will have a midweek luncheon meeting with his colleagues later in the week, during which his health will be a focus, if not the focus, norah. >> scott macfarlane, thank you very much. tonight, the long labor day weekend is already under way for millions of americans. the tsa predicts the last getaway of the summer will be one of the busiest with more than a quarter of a million flights scheduled through tuesday. cbs's kris van cleave reports from a busy los angeles international airport. >> reporter: passengers showing up at l.a.x. found relatively smooth flying coast to coast one day after hurricane idalia raced through the southeast. >> this is like the smoothest travel day i've had in a long time. usually there's been like so many delays. >> reporter: 57% of americans say they plan to take a trip for labor day, capping the busiest summer travel season on record. the tsa has already screened

town of horseshoe beach, florida. the catastrophic damage brought on by the hurricane-force winds and floodwaters. homes were ripped apart and debris scattered across the entire region. the video is the same community after community up and down the coastline, with buildings knocked off their foundation or simply gone, replaced by wreckage. insurance experts estimate the price tag of idalia's damage could reach as high as $20 billion. we have team coverage of the storm starting with cbs's omar villafranca in cedar key, florida. good evening, omar. >> reporter: good evening. more than 6,500 national guard troops are handing out supplies and helping with the cleanup, and this is what they're finding. piles of debris that used to be homes and businesses. tonight, floridians are sorting through the devastation left behind by idalia. >> there has been significant damage, particularly along florida's big bend. >> reporter: this was what horseshoe beach looked like as

mike bettes from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. idalia quickly moving off the north carolina coast, exiting with the showers and the wind. over the next 12 hours or so, those winds will really begin to back down for us here. it's pushing eastbound about 20 miles an hour. it may meander for the next week or so near bermuda and then through the atlantic. it could still cause us some rip current danger over the next two days. today and tomorrow not great beach days, that's for sure. anyone that's got holiday plans, keep that in mind if you're headed to the beaches here. for the weekend, watching for some showers and storms for recovery down through florida. the general trend, though, through the holiday weekend is hot. a lot of places seeing record-setting temperatures. saturday and sunday temperatures climb into the 90s in the middle of the country. 100 degrees for us in dallas come sunday. and on labor day itself, record-setting temperatures in the northeast. anticipating temperatures around 100 in locations like washington, d.c., norah. >> it's going to be hot here. mike bettes, thank you. now to some breaking news with a federal judge handing down some of the longest

sentences yet in cases from the january 6th investigation. cbs's ed o'keefe reports two leaders of the far-right extremist group the proud boys were sentenced for seditious conspiracy. >> reporter: prosecutors said joseph biggs and his co-conspirators were the driving force behind the violence that unfolded at the capitol. biggs boasted about storming the building. >> january 6th will be a day in infamy. >> reporter: but today he wept in court, handed a 17-year sentence in prison after being convicted alongside proud boys leader enrique tarrio of engaging in seddishous conspiracy to keep then president donald trump in office. biggs said, "i'm not a terrorist, but i know i have to be punished. judge timothy kelly said biggs was part of a mob that brought an entire branch of government to heel. also sentenced today, zachary rehl,, presisident of the phililadelphia c chapter of f t proud boys, seen here with biggs. he was sentenced to 15 years, less than the 30 prosecutors wanted.

they say rehl spent weeks organizing the capitol attacks. in a separate trial, january 6th defendant brandon fellows was convicted on five counts today, but jurors in the case revealed they're concerned about their personal safety, writing to judge trevor mcfadden to confirm fellows doesn't have any of their personal information that's usually shared with attorneys on both sides. fellows is representing himself in court. mcfadden would only say that jurors' personal information is destroyed at the end of a case. meanwhile, former president donald trump pleaded not guilty in the georgia election interference case and waived his right to appear at the arraignment next wednesday in atlanta. it likely would have aired live on television. in fact, late today, the judge in that case ruled that whenever trump's trial officially begins, cameras will be allowed. but when it starts remains an open question. the former president moved today to split his case from the 18 other co-defendants, some of whom are pushing for trials to start in october. trump's attorneys say that doesn't give them enough time to prepare. norah. >> a lot happening. ed o'keefe, thank you very much.

>> these are $12.99. >> reporter: the ossefs are also shopping for clothing after the girls outgrew almost everything they wore last year. with the price of apparel up more than 3%, gordon says that's another opportunity to save. check platforms like facebook marketplace and poshmark for gently used clothes and don't rush to buy winter clothes now. fall discounts are coming. >> you'll start to see sales for the holidays as early as october, and that will include apparel. so you can find savings if you wait a little bit longer. >> reporter: with state sales tax waived on most of her purchases and a onetime teacher discount, ossef was able to save about $100 on this shopping trip. >> we got clothes, school supplies. we got the water bottles, lunch boxes, so we got almost everything we need. >> reporter: and another tip. save your receipt and continue to monitor prices. consumer reports says you could get a price adjustment if an item is further discounted after your purchase. overall, ossef spent close to

$1,000 only back to school shopping, about $300 more than last year. >> it just so happened this is the year that we had to replenish. >> reporter: the anticipation of heading back to school comes this year with a higher price tag. i'm janet shamlian in kady, texas. another concern for parents is the safety of school campuses. last year there were more than 50 shootings at schools across the country. 40 people were killed, and another 100 injured. this year before the summer break, there were already 25 school shootings in 2023. meg oliver reports on a new program designed to reduce the risk. >> reporter: as a parent, one of our greatest worries is how safe our kids are at school. it seems it's no longer a matter of if but when another tragedy happens. that's where a new high-tech safety solution comes in, a potential game-changer in school safety. when an emergency happens in a school, response time is critical. >> how much time are you saving here? >> minutes. we're about a 60% reduction inn

picked up, notified exactly where i called. so if you look here -- >> can you see inside that classroom? >> i can click on that classroom. i can view. within one touch, i can lock down that building. >> lockdown. lockdown. >> reporter: police departments receive the system for free when a district signs up. depending on the size of the school, installation can cost up to $25,000, and maintenance runs about $5,000 a year. 911 inform allows users to instantly see the closest door, lock, and unlock it, check live security cameras, and communicate silently. >> what kind of pressure do you feel in terms of keeping students safe? >> it's pretty much what i think about all day long. >> reporter: in 2019, school resource officer kris sandman responded to a credible active shooter threat as students were arriving at morris county vocational school in new jersey. >> and we decided we needed to

lock down the school for the safrt of the students. our staff that was not on campus yet had no idea we were in a lockdown because they didn't receive any kind of notification. >> reporter: no one was injured, but the chaos prompted the school to install 911 inform. >> can this security software save lives? >> absolutely. there's doubt in my mind that this system will save lives. >> that smart system is not just for active threats but also medical or mental health incidents. 911 inform told us the system sees the most activations for those with upwards of 200 per day across the country. >> that was meg oliver reporting. you're watching the "cbs overnight news." yoyour bug sprpray should d e out bugs,, nonot keep outut people. unlikeke other s sprays that stitick around,d, zevo goeoes from kilill toto clean in n just seconon, plusus it's safefe for use aroundnd people anand pets.

certifications. a pretty solid answer to the question of what's next. >> what percentage of the students who graduate have a job, if they want one, when they leave? >> every single student can have a job if they would like one. >> reporter: but after decades of well-meaning parents and political leaders pushing a message of college for all, there are more trade jobs than graduating seniors to fill them. >> is there still a little bit of a stigma attached to technical or vocational, to use the old term, education? >> there definitely is. it's not 100% where everyone is on board, but we're working on that. >> it has a lock and handle on it. >> reporter: and when her students go to class and it looks like this, they too know that other students may scoff. >> what do they think of this kind of work? >> they think it's kind of stupid, or i'm trying to get into a trade school. they want to get into college, but they don't have a backup plan if it fails.

>> reporter: of course, for other families, including just about everyone we met on move-in day at montclair state university in new jersey, the college plan is still the only one. >> why college? why did you want that path for yourself? >> well, my parents both went to college. so, like, it just -- it's kind of just a natural consequence. they went, so i'm going to go too. >> i thought i would give myself a little bit of stability. >> you think there's more stability in a college dreg than a trade path? >> at least for me. >> i feel i'd have better opportunities and i'd be one of the college students in my family. >> you say college is the best way? >> i always think so. >> >> reporter: yet josh henson is hoping more kids realize there actually is another option, and it does come with perks. >> you get to a job and something's failed but you have to figure out why it failed, that's the big ticket right there. >> it's like a little murder

miss friday. >> exactly. >> it's like what killed this a.c. >> oh yeah. >> he's a technician in bucks county, pennsylvania. when we joined him recently on a call, i realized pretty quickly some of the things they don't teach in college. >> this goes on here? >> reporter: while some may think of trade school as a plan b, for henson, it was a preference. >> you dropped out of a four-year college to go to vocational school. >> yes, sir. >> so if anything, you wish you made this decision earlier. >> 100%. >> can you make a six-figure income in a career in this profession? >> absolutely. absolutely. we have guys at our job that master mechanics been doing this for 10 years, 15 years, that are making 55 to 60 an hour. >> reporter: and henson says his company and many others like it are right now looking for that next generation. >> hvac, plumbing, electrical, all the trades. they're very, very understaffed. we definitely need as much as we can get. >> reporter: it's a need that could be met by students like

these, if only more high schools would teach them. >> my hope for the future is that more students take advantage of the opportunity for career and technical education, and they don't end up down a path or a career choice that desn't have jobs at the end for them waiting. >> so just to be clear, the pitch is you can have a job right away. >> yes. >> and you're going to be doing something you love. >> yes. >> am i missing anything? >> no. you said it perfectly. >> that was tony dokoupi when you humble yourself under the mighty hand of god, in due time he will exalt you. hi, i'm joel osteen. i'm excited about being with you every week. i hope you'll tune in.

kind of sucks. >> reporter: despite the pain some are feeling at the pump, prices are practically a repeat from 2022. >> labor day this year is likely to be virtually identical to what motorists were paying last year. >> reporter: fuel analyst patrick de haan says with summer coming to a close, prices should start dropping after labor day, barring any surprises. >> i do think that the trend will remain downwards for potentially the next few weeks, especially as we get into mid and late september. that's when a combination of the transition back to cheap he gasoline and demand should pave the way for lower prices. if things go well, if there are no surprises or curveballs, the national average could fall 35 to 50 cents a gallon by the end of the year. >> reporter: that's good news for drivers struggling with the current cost of a fill-up. >> it's expensive, but we can't really do much about it. >> reporter: experts say one thing you can do is shop around. costco, sam's club, and other

wholesale stores offer discounted gas and apps like gasbuddy, aaa, and google maps list prices at stations in your area. that can help you get to your holiday destination with a few more bucks in your pocket. haley ott, cbs news, new york. and that's the overnight news for this friday. be sure to check back later for "cbs mornings." reporting from the nation's capital, i'm catherine herridge. this is "cbs news flash." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. at least one person was killed and another is in critical condition after a shooting thursday at a shopping center in austin, texas. several businesses were placed in lockdown while the austin police bomb squad searched for possible explosives. police said the shooter is also

$20 billion. we have team coverage of the storm starting with cbs's omar villafranca in cedar key, florida. good evening, omar. >> reporter: good evening. more than 6,500 national guard troops are handing out supplies and helping with the cleanup, and this is what they're finding. piles of debris that used to be homes and businesses. tonight, floridians are sorting through the devastation left behind by idalia. >> there has been significant damage, particularly along florida's big bend. >> reporter: this was what horseshoe beach looked like as an up to 10-foot storm surge roared through. and this is what's left, homes reduced to piles of wood, businesses destroyed. >> you want to live on the water, you got to put up with it, you know? >> reporter: cleanup efforts are ongoing on the island of cedar key. the powerful storm surge pounded these cottages. the water punched through the glass of this room over here. and as the water kept coming

forward, it started pushing into the rooms, soaking everything and throwing it around. aimee firestine owns the faraway inn, which was booked up for the labor day weekend. >> this is one of the structures that at least is still standing. >> yes. this is our cottage 2. it's still standing. we're missing a few parts of it. hopefully the structure is still good. >> reporter: keaton beach was overwhelmed by an up to 10-foot storm surge. cbs's jason allen is there. >> reporter: there is tremendous damage to some homes, but strangely enough, other homes built right on the water in some cases appear to be left nearly untouched. >> you're talking three, four. that's scary. you got to go. >> reporter: spy aibejeris has lived in keaton beach more than 40 years. he says he's stayed home during storms in the past. but this time he packed up and evacuated. >> i didn't think we were going to have anything to come home to. >> reporter: aibejeris' home withstood idalia's power. many of his neighbors' homes did

days. today and tomorrow not great beach days, that's for sure. anyone that's got holiday plans, keep that in mind if you're headed to the beaches here. for the weekend, watching for some showers and storms for recovery down through florida. the general trend, though, through the holiday weekend is hot. a lot of places seeing record-setting temperatures. saturday and sunday temperatures climb into the 90s in the middle of the country. 100 degrees for us in dallas come sunday. and on labor day itself, record-setting temperatures in the northeast. anticipating temperatures around 100 in locations like washington, d.c., norah. >> it's going to be hot here. mike bettes, thank you. now to some breaking news with a federal judge handing down some of the longest sentences yet in cases from the january 6th investigation. cbs's ed o'keefe reports two leaders of the far-right extremist group the proud boys were sentenced for seditious conspiracy. >> reporter: prosecutors said joseph biggs and his co-conspirators were the driving force behind the violence that unfolded at the capitol. biggs boasted about storming the building. >> january 6th will be a day in infamy. >> reporter: but today he wept

in court, handed a 17-year sentence in prison after being convicted alongside proud boys leader enrique tarrio of engaging in seditious conspiracy to keep then-president donald trump in office. biggs said, "i'm not a terrorist, but i know i have to be punished." judge timothy kelly said biggs was part of a mob that brought an entire branch of government to heel. also sentenced today, zachary rehlhl, preresident of f the phililadelphia c chapter of f t proud boys, seen here with biggs. he was sentenced to 15 years, less than the 30 prosecutors wanted. they say rehl spent weeks organizing the capitol attacks. in a separate trial, january 6th defendant brandon fellows was convicted on five counts today, but jurors in the case revealed they're concerned about their personal safety, writing to judge trevor mcfadden to confirm fellows doesn't have any of their personal information that's usually shared with attorneys on both sides. fellows is representing himself in court. mcfadden would only say that

jurors' personal information is destroyed at the end of a case. meanwhile, former president donald trump pleaded not guilty in the georgia election interference case and waived his right to appear at the arraignment next wednesday in atlanta. it likely would have aired live on television. in fact, late today, the judge in that case ruled that whenever trump's trial officially begins, cameras will be allowed. but when it starts remains an open question. the former president moved today to split his case from the 18 other co-defendants, some of whom are pushing for trials to start in october. trum

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." tonight, new ethics questions are swirling around conservative supreme court justice clarence thomas. newly released financial disclosures reveal justice thomas took multiple trips last

year aboard a private plane owned by republican mega donor harlan crow. cbs's jan crawford has new details tonight from the supreme court. >> reporter: in the financial disclosure report, justice thomas reveals three trips last year on a friend's private jet and a paid luxury vacation at his estate in the adirondacks while insisting any omissions from his previous financial disclosure reports were inadvertent or a result of long-standing guidance he received from court officials. two of the trips on friend and republican donor harlan crow's private jet were for speeches. thomas says his security detail advised private travel last may because of the increased security risk after a draft leak of the court's opinion overturning roe v. wade. thomas also amended a filing regarding a real estate transaction with crow, who in 2014 bought three properties from thomas and his family members in savannah, georgia, including his mother's home. thomas said he didn't realize he had to report the sale because

he didn't make a profit from it. thomas has been under intense media scrutiny for his relationships with crow and other wealthy conservatives, who picked up the tab for luxury vacations on private jets and yachts, prompting criticism from democrats that he didn't disclose some financial benefits, even if friends like crow never had business before the court. >> if there is -- and i quote -- reasonable cause to believe, closed quote, that justice thomas willfully failed to file, then it must refer him to the justice department for further investigation. >> reporter: thomas' attorney says those suggestions were ridiculous and motivated by hatred for his judicial philosophy. now, justice thomas did not amend his reports to disclose travel like those luxury trips from years past. he has maintained that under the old disclosure rules, it wasn't required. this is the first report, the first year under new rules that make clear justices going

forward need to disclose that kind of travel. he says he's following the rules, and that's what he's done in this report. norah. >> jan crawford, thank you. tonight there are more questions about the health of the senate's top republican. even senator mitch mcconnell's hometown newspaper had an editorial today saying the republican needs to come clean about his health. and as cbs's scott macfarlane reports, it comes on the same day we heard from the capitol physician. >> reporter: 24 hours after this startling incident -- >> it's, uh -- >> reporter: in which mitch mcconnell went silent and stared expressionless until an aide intervened, congress' attending physician says he consulted with mcconnell and mcconnell's neurology team and has cleared the 81-year-old republican leader to resume his schedule, writing occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration. mcconnell was hospitalized in march with a concussion. cbs news has learned mcconnell worked the phones to reassure colleagues, including a call to

texas republican john cornyn. >> we know he's had a fall and a concussion, and i think, you know, this may be just part of the recovery process from that. >> reporter: allies pointed to his presence at a fund-raiser wednesday night for fellow republican jim banks, an effort to show mcconnell is fit to lead. >> they're going to do that when they come back into session as well to quell any dissension. they know right now that people are talking privately. they want to make sure that remains private and not public. >> reporter: yesterday's was the second such public freeze-up by mcconnell in just over a month. this was july at the capitol. >> do you want to say anything else to the press? >> reporter: late today president biden said he has no doubts mcconnell can continue. >> i spoke to him today, and, you know, he was his old self on the telephone. >> reporter: but in a narrowly divided senate where the average age is now 65 years old with four members over 80, including mcconnell, every absence is pivotal, and he's already missed more votes this year than all but a few members. it's worth emphasizing the

capitol physician says he consulted mcconnell, not that he met with or observed him in person. the senate reconvenes here tuesday. mcconnell likely will have a midweek luncheon meeting with his colleagues later in the week, during which his health will be a focus, if not the focus, norah. >> scott macfarlane, thank you very much. tonight, the long labor day weekend is already under way for millions of americans. the tsa predicts the last getaway of the summer will be one of the busiest with more than a quarter of a million flights scheduled through tuesday. cbs's kris van cleave reports from a busy los angeles international airport. >> reporter: passengers showing up at l.a.x. found relatively smooth flying coast to coast one day after hurricane idalia raced through the southeast. >> this is like the smoothest travel day i've had in a long time. usually there's been like so many delays. >> reporter: 57% of americans say they plan to take a trip for labor day, capping the busiest summer travel season on record. the tsa has already screened more than 227 million passengers

day on monday. they recommend either driving in the evening or shifting your days to less busy days during the weekend. and then the airlines, expect the airports to be busiest tomorrow and again on monday, norah. >> thank you, kris van cleave. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." this isn't charmin! no wonder i don't feel as clean. hurry up dad! i'm trying! this cheap stuff is too thin! here's charmin ultra strong! ahhh! my bottom's been saved!
