Good morning, america. Thank you for being with us on this friday morning. It is always great to have cecilia with us in the morning. Love kicking off my fridays with you guys. Welcome. It is a big morning here. Watching two big stories this morning. That big news, of course, out of the cdc now urging americans to skip the family gatherings this thanksgiving as the virus shows no signs of stopping. Both dr. Jha and the general in charge of distributing vaccines nationwide will be joining us live. The president has been out of sight as the virus surges. But hes been mounting behind the scenes an unprecedent add tempt to remain in power but subverting joe bidens victory. Courts continue to dismiss his claims but now inviting michigan lawmakers to the white house in a desperate bid to reverse the results in a key state biden won. Terry moran is in washington with the latest. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, george. President trump lost at the ballot box. Hes lost in the courts and so now in a final desperate move he wants this election decided not by the voters but by his political allies instead. Its come to this. President trump is now trying to use the powers of the presidency to take the election away from voters in key states and get his republican allies to decide it instead. Hes beckoned Top Republican lawmakers from michigan to the white house for a meeting later today. The invitation comes as the president s legal team openly pursues an astounding new strategy, convincing several republicancontrolled state legislatures to ignore the voters in their states and instead choose electors who would vote for trump when the Electoral College meets in december to finalize the alec shin. This is an outlandish last resort as it suffers defeat after defeat. Overnight georgia announced the results of its recount reaffirming joe biden won, flipping the state red to blue. And in courtrooms across the country at least 16 of the president s lawsuits have now hit a wall. Good afternoon. Reporter in the hot seat Rudy Giuliani, the president s personal attorney, he sweated through a 90minute presser packed with baseless and bizarre conspiracy theories. Members of trumps own party panned the teams tactics. Senator ben sasse urged americans to focus on what they say under oath observing before the courts the president s lawyers have refused to actually allege grand fraud because there are legal consequences for lying to judges. And senator mitt romney a frequent trump critic tweeted it is difficult to imagine a worse more undemocratic action by a sitting american president. All this as the country has just crossed a terrible milestone. 250,000 lives lost to the coronavirus. 17,000 since the election. President elect joe biden called out trump who cant seem to face the public remaining out of sight and refusing to cooperate with the biden Transition Team. Its going to put us behind the eight ball by a matter of a month or more and thats lives. How many would be lost as a consequence of that, i cant tell you. Reporter a reminder, trump lost michigan by 150,000 votes and so now he wants local lawmakers there to declare a, quote, failed election and just give the state to him. Terry, youve been putting this into perspective. The president lost by 6 million votes nationwide. He would have to overturn the results in more than six states in order to overturn joe bidens victory. Weve never seen anything like this by an american president before. Reporter no, absolutely not, george. Look, there have been disputed elections. Theyre divisive and bitter. But this is President Trump trying to construct a fantasy Conspiracy Theory they have failed repeatedly to prove in court and american courts is where we do things like this. They still require evidence to be real and hes failed to do that. They havent even offered it. Terry moran, thanks very much. Michael . Thank you, george. Now to the latest on the coronavirus emergency. The virus explosion in the u. S. Showing no signs of stopping with 183,000 new positive tests and hospital admissions on the rise. The cdc now warning americans not to travel for thanksgiving and whit johnson joins us now from Laguardia Airport with the latest. Good morning, whit. Reporter michael, good morning to you. There is great concern about the possibility of the thanksgiving holiday becoming a nationwide superspreader event. Cases are already surging to record levels in some parts of the country so Public Health officials are making an urgent plea to all americans to avoid the airports, avoid travel altogether and stay home. This morning, the cdc urging americans not to travel for thanksgiving and to celebrate only with people in your own household. Some people have said, you know, gather at thanksgiving and regather for your funeral on new years day. Thats a bleak way to put it, but at this point we really have to be honest. Reporter hospitalizations on the rise in all 50 states. Nearly 81,000 patients being treated. A new record. The White House Task force holding its first press Briefing Since july blaming the weather in part for the surging numbers. This virus increased so rapidly because there was an unusual cold snap that began in the Northern Plains and went down through the heartland where in the end of september, beginning of october large number of people moved indoors. Reporter dr. Anthony fauci promising help is on the way and reassuring americans the vaccines will be safe. The process of the speed did not compromise at all safety, nor did it compromise scientific integrity. It was an independent body of people who have no allegiance to anyone, not to the administration, not to me, not to the companies that looked at the data and deemed it to be sound. Reporter still scenes like this increasingly common across the country. Massive lines for testing. This one in orlando. In California Governor Gavin Newsom issuing a 10 00 p. M. Curfew for 94 of the states population in hopes of slowing the spread. Frontline workers like this icu nurse fearing what comes next pleading with the public to do their part. We can all be heroes just by doing one little thing and thats just wearing a mask. Reporter masks still a point of contention for some like Restaurant Owner barry cowden who may close his doors if forced to mask up in kansas. Every individual with liberty should do that on many accounts and so they have that choice. Reporter but for some no choice, only loss like this woman, a nurse for 38 years who put off retirement to continue working through the pandemic, only to lose her own battle with the virus. Were going to have to light a candle at the seat that she would have sat and i truly hope that everyone hears the message. Its really a plea. Wear a mask. Dont travel. Reporter it will be a painful holiday for so many families across the country. The White House Coronavirus task force is also revealing more on their plans for Vaccine Distribution saying they have the infrastructure in place to be able to deliver a vaccine to the entire United States within 24 hours of authorization. The first shots could be going out by late december. Michael . A lot of people waiting on that, whit. Thank you so much. Cecelia . So hard to hear that plea from that family. Despite that warning from the cdc millions of americans are still expected to travel for thanksgiving whether it is in the air or on the roads. Gio benitez joins us from the west side highway here in manhattan with the travel forecast. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, cecelia, good morning. Even before the cdcs guidance not to travel next week, aaa was already expecting fewer travelers on the road than last year. Take a look at this. They were expecting about 48 million on the road. Thats down from 55 million. Now this morning, aaa is changing its tune telling us that number may be far lower after the cdcs warning. Aaa anticipates at least a 10 drop in travel. The largest oneyear decrease since the Great Recession in 2008. Major airlines were also already seeing a spike in cancellations for people who had purchased those holiday flights. They too are now anticipating more cancellations. Lets look at the numbers. Last year over the whole 11day thanksgiving travel period, tsa screened more than 26 Million People. This year, they expect that number to be much lower. The busiest day topping out at about a million passengers. That is far less than the busiest day last year. Nearly 3 million, cecilia. Its good news were seeing people cancel trips. So what happens if you booked a trip before the cdc issued these guidelines . Reporter you know, the Major Airlines have already waived those change fees and that means that even if you bought a ticket that is nonrefundable, no worries. You can still go ahead and cancel that flight. Youll just get a credit for a future flight. You can do that at any time. There is no deadline. You could even cancel that flight on the same day as your scheduled flight. Really important information. Gio, thanks so much. Joining us is dr. Ashish jha, dean of Brown University school of Public Health. So great to have you with us. I want to start with that breaking news we mentioned right at the top of the show. Pfizer is saying that theyre submitting this emergency use authorization today. This is their request. They say that they could be ready to distribute this vaccine within hours once they get the green light. When do you think we might see it in our hands . Yes, so, good morning, thank you for having me on. Itll probably take a couple weeks for the fda. Their next meeting of their committee is december 8th. Thats when it usually would get reviewed but obviously these are extraordinary times so who knows . It might get reviewed before then. Im expecting early december as a time when people will have an authorization and itll start getting distributed hours after that. Early december. I want to the thanksgiving travel. Today could end up being the day where so many families make these final decisions. For someone who is watching right now and may be on the fence deciding whether they go home to be with family or they stay in their own house this year, what is your best pitch to them about why they need to stay home . Yeah, so, first of all, i really do think people need to stay home. Things are very bad across the reason. The main reason to do it is you want to see your family in 2021. Were so close to having vaccines available. Lets stay safe, keep people protected and celebrate next year. The cdc essentially made the case that thanksgiving could become a superspreader event nationally. That its the perfect setting to spread this virus. Is there any way to do this safely . You know, i have spent so much time thinking about how to do it safely for my own family and basically i dont think there is a way. One could have done a 14day quarantine before and then traveled and not interacted with anybody. Theoretically it could have been possible. Would have been very difficult and at this point i dont see any way to reasonably do it safely. Some folks i think, unfortunately, will still do it, and the cdc is issuing guidelines for if they do, even small gatherings, keep the windows open, and i was struck by some of the details they got into. They say speak in low voices if youre inside the house. What does that mean . Whats the danger there in talking with a loud voice or shouting or singing . Yeah. So theres plenty of evidence that if you sing, if you scream, if you talk loudly, you actually just spread more virus if youre infected. And we know so much of the spread happens from people who are not who were not symptomatic with no symptoms. If youre going to do it, theres a lot you can do to reduce your risk as you said opening windows, keeping distant, wearing a mask as much as possible and speaking less but, you know, the best thing you can do is stay home. Stay home as you said so you can see your family next year. Dr. Jha, thank you so much. So whats it going to take to get that vaccine to hundreds of millions of americans as quickly as possible . The general in charge of operation warp speed is joining us exclusively in our next hour half. Michael . Looking forward to hearing that. Now going to go to food banks which are on the edge with 742,000 new unemployment claims filed last week, millions are struggling to put food on the table. Marcus moore is at a food bank in arlington, texas with more this morning. Good morning, marcus. Reporter well, michael, good morning. You can see all the cars lined up here outside of Cowboy Stadium to get meals for thanksgiving. I want you to take a look from above, from our drone camera. You get a sense of the cars lined up here and the massive operation that the local food bank here has set up to feed the thousands they expect to come here for thanksgiving meals. Many of these families will be coming here for the very first time. Look at some images last week from neighboring dallas. You can see a line of cars for as long as the eye can see. More striking images from new jersey. These pictures showing the agreeing need and how serious the situation is with job losses mounting and benefits running out for so many people. A lot of families need help, marcus. Were seeing new numbers that show just how dire the need is across the country right now. Reporter yeah, michael. I wanted to share these numbers because they give you a sense of how serious this is. Feeding america food banks says it has seen a 60 increase in the need for food since the start of the pandemic. They say 50 Million People could face hunger this year because of the crisis, that includes 17 million children. And, michael, the operators of these food banks that are running these across the country say that these long lines will not disappear any time soon. Marcus, very critical times. Thank you so much, marcus moore. George .

Retailers are Offering New Services to attract businesses. Rebecca jarvis has details on what you need to know. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter good morning to you, george.
