About this episode

Thirteen people have been charged in an alleged domestic terrorist plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow several state governments that the suspects "believe are violating the U.S. Constitution,” according to a federal criminal complaint. Six people were charged federally with conspiracy to kidnap and Dana Nessel, the Attorney General of Michigan, announced state charges against the other seven associated with the group, “Wolverine Watchmen.” She tells Anderson Cooper groups like this one aren’t just a Michigan problem but an American problem. Plus, a new projection by the CDC predicts there could up to 230,000 deaths in the U.S. by the end of November. Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, joins AC360 to discuss how concerned he is with cases rising across the country as the weather gets colder and flu season ramps up.
