That they were there and they saw this take place. Is there any evidence to support trumps claim . And holiday rush. Thanksgiving travelers hitting the highways and heading to the airports in droves. The drewing storm that could disrupt the plans of millions of americans, today, tuesday, november 24, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lawer and sgautry live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a Tuesday Morning seems like we say this every day, but what a busy morning weve got. Certainly is. And weve got breaking news at top this morning. A russian fighter jet crashed, turkey claiming it shot down that warplane after repeated warnings saying that the plane was violating its airspace. Lets get right to nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent rich engel in istanbul this morning. Richard, what are you hearing about this . Reporter good morning, savannah, turkey says it acted legitimately when a then unidentified aircraft violated its airspace, did not heed warnings. Kremlin, however, is disputing that claim and calls this incident they serious. Russias Defense Ministry says its jet which turned into a fireball when it was shot down this morning was inside syrian airspace, its location confirmed by its instruments. The jets two pilots appear to have ejected bailing out before the plane impacted. Helicopters could be seen searching for the pilots. Russia blamed ground fire which attacked the jet on a mission in syria near the turkish border, but turkey said two of its u. S. Made f16s like these shot down a jet after it illegally entered turkish airspace. A statement from the fishingish president s office claimed the jet was warned ten times over five minutes. Russia has dramatically increased its air strikes in syria it says against isis after a bomb destroyed a russian passenger jet over egypt nearly a month ago. Isis is new in the crosshairs the russia, the u. S. And france, all three air forces targeting the group in syria but with little coordination. A video circulating online which is still yet to be confirmed by nbc news. His body recovered by a rebel group. The rebels claim that he died before hitting the ground. This has major implications. It is the first time in recent memory that a nato country, and turkey is a nato country, shot down a russian plane. Nato has called for an extraordinary meeting today. Dangerous situation, richard engel, thank you. Another story were following, a new bulletin from u. S. Security officials revealing new information about the planning that went into the terror attacks on paris and a warning to local Police Departments here in the u. S. To be mindful of potential copycat attacks. We have complete coverage beginning with nbcs chief Foreign Affairs correspondent andrea mitchell. Andrea, what can you tell us . Good morning, matt, that is right. Overnight top counterterrorism u. S. Officials warned local Law Enforcement around the country about the new details of the paris attacks to help prevent a copycat attack here at home. At the same time, the state department is the alerting u. S. Travelers to be very careful, i especially careful overseas. A new bulletin reportedly issued by the fbi, the Homeland Security department and the National Counterterrorism center warns u. S. Law enforcement to review active shooter scenarios, warning thaek extremists could seek to replicate the effects of the paris attacks using similar weapons and tactics, although on a smaller scale. Sent to more than 18,000 agencies across the country, the document asked them to be on the lookout for suspicious people conducting surveillance on soft targets in the u. S. An bulletin analyzes the reesens paris attacks, acknowledging the terrorists used a cell phone with maps of the concert venue and encrypted apps and rented three cars in belgium before moving to a safe house in paris despite warnings that home grown extremists could seek to immick these strategies plots like parris more likely to happen overseas because of geography and societal factors. Just as some travelers are leaving for europe and other foreign destinations, a second bulletin from the state Department Says they should exercise vigilance when in Public Places use transportation. Be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds and crowd places. Exercise particular caution this Holiday Season and at holiday festivals or events. The travel alert cites multiple attacks in paris, mali, nigeria and turkey and the bombing of the russian passenger plane, and it says there is a continuing threat from unaffiliated persons planning attacks inspired by major terrorist organizations. In other words, copycats and lone wolves. Homeland security says that there is no evidence of an attack pending here in the u. S. , but officials offer no such assurances for what might happen overseas now that isis has shown can attack in the heart of europe. Matt and savannah. And i yeah, thank you very much. Shaun henry is a former executive assistant director for the fbi. Good morning to you. Good morning, matt. Are these official versions of what americans are thinking anyway . I think thats right. You know, we hear about this fbi bulletin that went out to local Law Enforcement yesterday. It really doesnt say much more than what weve opinion talking about over the last week but its very form a. Its the fbi making sure they are clearly communicating to local Law Enforcement that were looking at people doing reconnaissance, looking at people that are tactically trained and better be training local Law Enforcement for active shooters but a we want to be able to ensure they can respond quickly should there be an incident here domestically. And lest there be any doubt, shawn, they are telling local officials to look out for soft targets, not even military installations and tourists attractions. In paris it was a cafe on a friday night. What we saw in paris really changes the dynamic what have weve seen for terrorist organizations in years gone by. I think whats chrisically important here for local Law Enforcement to know and trying to get out information that there are millions and millions of people who have to be eyes and years. Local Law Enforcement cant cover every cafe, every restaurant and every sporting event. People need to step up and be aware and by putting this report out it really helps to focus the american public. They have been watching the media, and they see what happens in paris, but this going out officially like this really says to americans be aware, be alert. Dont be afraid, but make sure youre advising Law Enforcement if you see anything that could be unusual so that they can be responsive. All right. Shawn henry, thank you very much. There was also the warning, of course, to the woorldwide travelers from this country as well. President obama meantime facing increased pressure to up the u. S. Campaign against isis, and that is on full display the white house today. President obama will meet with french president francois hollande. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is at white house covering the meeting. Peter, good morning. What do you expect. Reporter good morning, president s obama and hollande will stand in solidarity here this morning, but president obama has largely resisted calls that he change or even significantly ramp up his strategy against isis. Today the french are likely to push for a stronger u. S. Military commitment here. That may mean more special forces on the ground to help identify isis targets, greater intel gathering and lesser stricter rules of engagement which could mean lesser casualties in syria. This is the same did a that president hoped announced france is at war with isis the president said it was a setback. Despite pressure and a lot of it from former allies and even former advisers to be more aggressive, the white house officials insist the u. S. Is more than pulling its own weight. The french also want the u. S. To back efforts to bring russia into what they call a single Broad Coalition to fight terrorists. Thats not likely to happen. Hollande wasnt even stay the night before he head to moscow for a similar motoring with vladimir putin. Thanks, lets turn to mark halperin, managing editor of bloomberg politics. Good morning. Here we see hollande doing some version of shuttle diplomacy meeting with the president here and going on to meet with president putin. What is he trying to put together here, sand he likely to be successful . He wants more intelligence sharing and wants the russians to stop focusing on fighting the rebels and fighting isis and there wants there to be kind of a greater sense of coalition, but theres not much difference between u. S. And france as some people would think. The u. S. Would like russia involved on good terms and would like the diplomatic tract to work. Thats the most important thing and why the president is trying to be low key. Wants diplomacy to work to get assad out of power and turn to isis full force. If hollande asks the president for more robust ground presence, special forces, special operations troops and the president says no, here comes hollande with the attacks in paris fresh in everyones mind. Hes got emotion and timing on his side. What arent optics going to look like if he walks away without that . It would look horrible but talking to a Senior Administration official i dont think the United States think the france will ask for that, special operations but not a large number of ground troops. Not capability unless the u. S. Is willing to lead a capability the french know it cant happen and president obama does not want that. Iraq is always in his mind as an example of how america shouldnt operate in that region. Talked about substance and lets talk about the style because the president s remarks after paris were widely panned even by some of his allies because of the tone, because felt he came across at defensive and more passionate about his political critics than what had happened in france. Now he has this press Conference Today with the french president by his side. Is it a chance for kind of a rhetorical doover and does the white house even feel thats necessary . The president feels like he cannot set a bad example. Again, the iraq example is in his mind. Hes not a guy who wants to pound the table and says were going to get these guys. Well help them down across the world. He thinks its count productive. He thinks its low key. He doesnt want the United States to be the enemy of the region. Theresin presentation bill clinton uses, its better to be wrong and strong and right than weak and the president feels hes right. Doesnt fear being perceived as weak if he feels hes making the right decision. What are the folks saying about the criticism, not from the republicans running for president , but from democrats like leon panetta and Dianne Feinstein and hillary clinton. Go back to forget what we say, watch what we do. The diplomacy, the sharing of intelligence is more important than style criticism of what the president does. The president believes that if he says things that are loud and violent and aggressive its counterproductive and he doesnt want this pop theial campaign to be dominated by what he considers dangerous demagoguery that will hurt america around the world. Agreed it will feed right into isis hands. Republican president ial frontrunner donald trump is standing by his claim that he saw muslims in new jersey cheering the World Trade Center attacks. Nbc ehallie jackson has the latest on that story. Hallie, what do you have. Reporter this morning donald trump is doubling down on those comments, some of his most controversial ones yet, even in the face of fact checks. If you thought trump would back down, think again. Donald trump delivers a tirade overnight in his own defense. I saw people getting together and in fairly large numbers celebrating as the World Trade Center was coming down. I saw them on television, and i read about it on the internet. Reporter his claim, that thousands of muslims in new jersey cheered 9 11 has been denounced and widely discredited by multiple independent fact checkers. Trump standing by it. I start getting phone calls in my office by the hundreds that they were there and they saw this take place. Reporter republican frontrunner not apologizing but ben carson is, backtracking after first saying he also saw american muslims celebrating 9 11. I think that was an inappropriate response. Did you see that happening on 9 11 . I saw the film of it, yes. In new jersey . Yes. Reporter now though carsons Campaign Says he does not stand by those statement and was thinking instead of celebrations in the middle east, not new jersey. I did see the film. I dont know where they were, but i did see a film of muslims celebrating. List distancing himself from trump marco rubio. At what the point do you feel like you and the rest of your competitors have to call him out on that . Its not true and plenty of fact checks. If all i did was respond to everything donald trump said that isnt true i wouldnt be able to run my campaign. Reporter rubio, meanwhile, will begin airing his first broadcast ad in key early states. Heres an exclusive first look t. Focuses on his father and his family story, a way to introduce himself to voters in iowa and New Hampshire as rubio hopes to take the top spot in the polls from trump. A new one out this morning, matt and savannah, shows trump still leading in iowa, though ted cruz is coming on strong. Guys. Hally jackson, thank you. Meantime, the thanksgiving travel rush heating up today. Millions. Americans will hit the roads and head to the airport so what do you need to know if youre heading out. Well be your travel headquarters over the next few days, and well start with mr. Roker. What are you watching is. Seventh year in a row an increase in travel more than 50 miles from home, so people are in a mood to travel. Lets show you what were talking about. First of all, as far as that travel is concerned, 46. 9 Million People will be traveling this year and 89 will be driving and it will be kind of interesting. Were watching three trouble spots over thanksgiving. Especially thanksgiving day. Chicago, denver, dallas. Lets start off in denver as we go to the maps and show you exactly what were talking about. First lets look at shim ohair airport. Look at this, already, at 6 00 a. M. Central time, 7 00 a. M. Eastern time, it is packed and its just going to get worse. This is tuesday. Can you imagine what this is going to look like tomorrow. Well, heres what were looking at. Denver is going to be our first hot spot that were talking about. Light snow, freezing drizzle by thursday. Delays in the air due to visibility and dangerous road conditions. Now were going to move down to dallas where heavy rain. Another three inches. They will have the rainiest year ever. Rain with thunderstorms. Delays between these storms and on the road gusty wind and heavy rain. Going to be a problem there, and we head up to chicago. Another big hub. Rain with a flood threat. Because of the snow on the ground, warming temperatures and heavy rain. They will have problems and delays in the air due to visibility and well have roads that are slick with some flooding, guys, so, again, big problems going to continue right on through thanksgiving day. The good news is friday into the weekend looking much better. Thats whats going on. Were going to get a good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. Clouds are here and it is cold this morning. But sunshine will break through this afternoon. The temperatures climb into the middle to upper 40s, near 50 degrees later today. And into the 50s tomorrow with bright sunshine, a high of 53. The real warmup comes for thanksgiving day and friday, both days will see afternoon temperatures in the 60s. Showers swing through saturday, turning colder sunday and monday. Have a great day. And thats your latest weather. Savannah . All right, al. Thank you. Theres some new reaction this morning over the concussion suffered by st. Louis rams quarterback case keenum that happened in the nfl came on sunday and natalie has been following that this week. Whats going on . Rams head coach jeff fisher address ed the issue yesterday. Will nfl says their concussion protocol wasnt followed sunday and they want to know why. The league is now investigating why both Team Trainers and independent injury spotters called atcs allowed rams quarterback case keepium to continue playing after this brutal hit. Oh, boy. You can see him go down and hit the back of the head on the turf. He was only diagnosed with a concussion after the game. I didnt see it from my vantage point. Rams coach jeff fisher monday promised to investigate how the system broke down but would not blame the spotters or his trainers. Our head train er did go on the field and he got out there and he spoke to case and he questioned case and case said he felt okay. Sports pundits on espn were nowhere near as kind. This failed on every single level. It was actually disgraceful. I watched it live. It was horrifying to watch. It really was. The nfl has had a concussion protocol in place since late 2011, even expanding the role of the interpent spotters beginning this season, giving them the power to stop the game if there is clear visual evidence of the player displaying obvious signs of disorientation or is clearly unstable and is attempting to remain in the game and not be attended to by the clubs medical staff. The 27yearold struggled to get up, even flopping back down after a teammate tried to pull him up immediately. To see a hit like that and to see him get up and be so obviously in distress, how anybody could have left him in the game was just, you know, its just awful. Fisher said keenum feels much bert and will play this weekend if the quarterback passes the remaining steps in the leagues concussion protocol. The Players Union says they are reviewing the concussion protocol in the keenum hit and as for the league they say they will reinforce the need to ensure that the injuries are properly identified and addressed. There was a minute left in regulation in the game, tied at the time and perhaps thats what went into that decision that he stay out on the field. The spotter shouldnt care about the game situation or score. They are supposed to get a player out of a bad situation. Very true. Coming cup, the alleged gunman who opened fire on a Good Samaritan in new orleans. Hes behind bars and why did police also arrest his girlfriends . And then in rossen reports, staying safe when heading out for the holidays. The mistake many make when carrying heavy objects. It can lead this is more than just a town. This is our home.

Lets turn to new orleans now where the suspect in a brazen shooting of a medical student that we showed you on tape on monday is now in custody, and theres been a second arrest tied to that investigation. Nbcs Kerry Sanders has this story. Hi, kerry, good morning. Reporter well, good morning. The alleged gunman is in the jail behind me here. His arrest affidavit is expected to be finalized later this morning, the charges expected to be robbery, kidnapping and attempted firstdegree murder, and if hes convicted on that attempted murder charge here in louisiana, he faces life in prison. This morning the man police say shot a helpless unarmed Good Samaritan in this chilling video is in jail. 21yearold euric cain, allegedly the cold blooded gunman when fired at tulane medical student peter gold was taken into custody when new Orleans Police and federal marshals raided the house where he was hiding. I couldnt are proud of the fact that we not only caught him quickly, but it was done without incident and no one got hurt. Reporter not a shot fired. Not a shot fired. Reporter also under arrest alleged gunmans 17yearold girlfriend nictoria washington, the two found in the house together. Police say even though she wasnt at scene of the shooting, shes being charged as an accessory. According to authorities, cain made a full confession, admitting he was the one seen dragging a woman down the street and police say he told them he was the one who turns his gun on peter gold, shooting him once in the stomach and trying to shoot him a second, even a third time but the gun jams, likely sparing golds life. It was a chilling video even for those of us hardened from seeing a lot of this stuff. Reporter look like he was going to kill him. No question.

This Morning National investigative correspondent jeff resen is here with a warning. Reporter good morning to you. This is timely, of course, as we all hits the roads for thanksgiving this week. Busiest travel week of the year, and weve all been there, right. Youre driving on the highway and see a car or truck in front of you with a mattress tied to the roof or wooden planks. I always think, i dont know about about you. Will this come loose and it happens a lot because people arent tying it down correctly. This morning dangerous moments caught on tape and how to protect your family. Just weeks ago chaos on a new jersey highway. This mattress flying off a car sending drivers swerving this. Truck tips over and explodes, and it happens all the time. Wood planks, broken glass, degree coming loose and flying through the air. There it goes. Reporter crashing into your car at highway speeds. It happened within a split second. I didnt have any time to react. Reporter abby mathias could have been killed this summer when a large piece of plywood fell out of the truck in front of her on the highway. I saw it fly up, and next thing i knew i was feeling the shower of glass and my ears were ringing because it had gone through my windshield. Reporter an these accidents can be deadly. According to the latest government report the numbers are growing. Nearly 500 People Killed every year. 11,000 more injured when debris barrels through the air. Why does this keep happening . Welsh let me show you what people do. Take a mattress, you load it up on your suv, okay. The Big Box Stores give out free twine for strapping it down. Twine, just like this. This is not Strong Enough to hold a mattress on an suv at high speeds. Reporter when the stores give this to you, youre thinking its the store, must be safe. To show us, these highway troopers tie down the mattress with that twine. I think were good into right now im standing on an away donned runway at a Regional Airport working with the Washington State patrol. This is my producer linds who will get into the suv with the mattress and get up to highway speeds at 50, 60 Miles Per Hour and see if it stays on or flies off with the twine and ill be behind the chase case with the trooper to see what it looks like and how scary it is if it does fly off. Okay. Here we go. Im stepping on at all. Common situation. Somebody transporting a mattress on their car. 20, 30, 40, and going 45, there it goes. Comes right off. It flew off that car, like a missile flying through the air. Watch that again. The twine literally snaps. The air catches the mattress flipping it up and sending it airborne in seconds. The object flying off the car, you either hit that or hit the other vietnam in the other lane. Reporter what should we use . Ratchet snaps. For less than 20 bucks pig this up in a big box star. Reporter how does it work . Partially strapped down, feed the hook underneath the luggage rack and tighten it up. Reporter good to go. Good to go. Reporter lindsey is behind the wheel again even hitting 70 Miles Per Hour. Secure properly this will not come off. Reporter this will save lives. Absolutely. Reporter an abcy tool that could prevent this from slamming right into you. So theres the simple takeaway, twine. Bad. Use the ratchet straps and if you see a car hauling something and doesnt look secure. Stay back, switch lanes or pass them. Once youre at safe distance call 911 and report that vehicle. The troopers say they dont mind getting those calls and responding to those emergencies could ultimately save lives. Important information as we all get on the road this week. Guys. Absolutely, jeff.

Reporter from the grocery for to the department for, our buying habits are being tracked. Now the nations largest pharmacy wants to take it a step further. Walgreens is launching a new Smartphone App called connect, connecting your health data to their servers. Once you download the app heres how it works.

Do you worry about what happens to that information . Not until you just said that actually. Reporter didnt even think about it. Think about a place like a drug store, they also have your purchase history, drug history and when you have drug history you know quite a lot about someones medical diagnosis. Reporter medical information that can be target for cyber criminals. Experts say medical records are ten times more valuable on the black market than credit cards.

Theres a sign over here thats been fascinating us, a little girl that has a sign that says hey nasty. We thought it was you. If the shoe fits. Shes so cute. Adorable. Well get to the bottom of that. All right. Were in the thick of the Holiday Season, right . I think well get five guilty verdicts on this desk. Youre supposed to go to the store and supposed to buy gifts for other people. Sure. But americans are coming clean in a new survey. 85 ed a night gifting themselves. Absolutely. Another 67 spent more on themselves. Guilty, guilt. Than on other people. Or they kept a gift they originally intended to give someone else. Ive done all of those. Im so guilty. I havent done that one. Its the sales. They are everywhere, so its two for me, one for you. Its also you tend to go shop for other people in stores that you like. Yes. For things that you like so you say, wait a second, i might have that for the holidays as well. It happened yesterday and a 30 sale, the only thing i could do is buy something for myself. Vale needs louboutin shoes. They dont go on sale, okay . The next story really shows people can be selfless as well and think of others. This is being shared widely across web this morning. Its all based on a sign that a restaurant in detroit posted in its window. Check it out. This will make us all feel better. The sign says georges thanksgiving day dinner, if anyone is home alone, come eat with us for free all day. If youre homeless or poor george says hell women you into his restaurant on thanksgiving, no questions asked. Hes been doing it for years . Thats spectacular. Why thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, people do things like that all the time. Really cool. All right. Let me show you a list. It shows some character interest rates. Which of these do you think is most important to teach your kids . Honesty, kindness, strong work ethic, courage, leadership and toughness. Which of these is most important. Kindness. I think honesty because it breeds after everything else. I think once youre honest. Honesty begets kindness. I would say kindness but the survey results were a little bit surprising. According to survey monkey, we did this, all right. It says that most people say honesty. 43 . 29 said kindness, a strong work ethic finished third followed by courage, leadership and toughness. By the way, 7 said Something Else. What . Can we pick all of the above . Yeah, i mean. Its not like if you teach honesty you cant teach the other. But kindness is super important. Absolutely. Lets us turn to tamron. Has an all adele edition of pop start. In the spirit of kindness i have something for you, adele. Its an alladele pop start. I like that. You seem surprised. Pop fix the is the other one i do but im all popped out. Counting down to adeles big performance here on today. Just 24 hours left. Got the countdown clock. Last night on the tonight show adele debuted another new song this one called water under the bridge and here you go. Dont pretend that you dont want me i love you water under the bridge if youre going to let me down, let me down gently dont pretend that you dont want me its all water under the bridge now everyone is dancing at home. That songs amazing, and talking to jimmy adele showed a different side revealing a story behind a moment you may have missed at the end of per performance on snl. Made a little funny face at the end. Heres the explanation. I had no idea i was still being filmed. I got home and my friends from england sent me a vine of me going. Thats so good. Its fantastic. Ive got to say, the album is great, obviously getting crazy good reviews. Indeed. Adele thought the show had cut away when she made that infamous meme her friend and after fallon hit town with some friends, you want to know who, Jennifer Lawrence and emma stone, a picture of the ladies going out for some mexican fold, im told, here in new york, and by the way, speaking of Jennifer Lawrence, Entertainment Weekly has just named her itsents tan earth of year. The mag zane says the 25yearold actress is discovering her own power and done playing games. Some other stars on the list, har haraji wenson. There you have it. Thats your adele top start. This went out for mexican food but didnt call. They called us, but unfortunately it went straight to voice mail. Must have called a thousand times. Ill play you my voice mail one time. Mr. Roker, how about the weather. All right. Again, its all about thanksgiving. Lets take a look. Watching three areas that are probably going to be the trouble spots on thanksgiving. Lets start off right now. Denver international airport, this is one of our possible hub delays, morning freeding drizzle and heavy snow at times and limited visibilities. Lets move to dallas. Chance. Thunderstorms and heavy rain, possible ground stops and, of course, i35 is going to be a mess as well. And then we move up to chicago, and youre going to be looking for trouble along i39. Chicago international, afternoon heavy thunderstorms, low visibility and some localized flooding and i80 may have good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. Clouds are here and it is cold this morning. But sunshine will break through this afternoon. Temperatures climb into the middle to upper 40s near 50 degrees later today. And into the 50s tomorrow with bright sunshine. High of 53 degrees. The real warmup comes for thanksgiving day and friday. Both days well see afternoon temperatures in the 60s. Showers swing through saturday, turning colder sunday and monday. Have a great day. Thats your latest weather. Savannah . All right, all, thank you. Now to todays hasslefree holiday. More of our toying around. Working with toyportfolio. Com and parent and kids have been reviewing 36 of the seasons hottest toys. Heres the criteria. How easy was it to get it out of box . Thats big. The clarity of directions, the ease of assembly. Was the listed age range appropriate, and most importantly was it fun . Was ten gageing . Stephanie oppenheim cofounder of toyportfolio. Com brought along some little reviewers who are adorable. Good morning. This is the inflatable remotecontrolled minions. Can we agree minions are cool. They are cooler when you can make them move. I think this is pretty awesome. So these are really cute and very novelty item of the year. But it only got a 67. So the reason they lost so many points is that they didnt come with an air pump or a patch kit so parents really naelt for the money there should be, if you didnt have your own air pump. The company, we reached out and said most consumers had told them they didnt need a pump so they lowered the price and that was the reason for that. Lets go over here, zoomer kitty, a 16. Heres the deal. People who love cats and people who dont like cats so much. Its true also for bikes. We flew in lisa and ella from oklahoma because they love zoomer kitty. You guys like this. Why . I felt it was such an interactive toy and responded to her touch and actions. And brad and max have a different story, why . Zoom a kitty seemed to have purred constantly which is extremely irritating. On the other hand, i think weve decide were not a cat family. So there you go. By the way, we reached out to spinmaster and they said as kids grow and mature we understand they need different toys and sometimes dads ears are sensitive for zoomer kitty. What do we have here . Star wars legos number one request from this age right here. We are dylan and henry. This got a 90, the star wars. Got a very high score. Parents love it because the instructions are clear and feel that their kids are having an educational experience while they are building satiable relations, fine motor skills. The kids love them because they have all of these moving parts on the build, in particular this. Generation of lego builders love the mini figs, going after the mini figs and this is from the new movie, super, super popular. Does it come with good directions . The directions are wonderful. Again, for this type of set, you want to start smaller with the younger builder which is a great point. Grandparents often get the big box. Want your kids to be building like these guys are doing right here. Tell me about this, the project mc squared doll and got an 82. The people who brought us the bratz do the and toned down their look and now they are all about science. I love that its a multicultural collection of dolls. Each one comes with an easytodo science kit so you can do a volcanic eruption or make your own lava lamp which lights up, your own glue stick. Hi compliments from this from brothers who also want to do the science experiments with their sisters. Kind of a combo fashion and science and function. They didnt love the fact, very hard to get dolls out of the packaging, be careful not to cut hair off when youre getting the doll out. Packaging is my waterloo all the time. This is the ebu giant floor puzzle. This got a 94. This is so low tech and yet it got the entire score of the toy series we did for three days. Why . Puzzles are a wonderful project kids do on their own and builds a sense of confidence when they put the puzzle together and a great parentchild toy to do together. Cell phones go down, working on a puzzle. Under 0. One of the less expensive toys this season and we also recommend bring beinging a game home for the holiday, building memories rather than any particular toy. And pieces you wont lose and babe its wont check on them. And final hi . Classic toys hot wheel. If you have a child in the hot wheel zone this is the ultimate. It got a 78. Kind of hard to put it together so if youre not handy, leave some time and thats true of most of the toys we looked at this year. Putting toys stogt no easy task. Sometimes you need a power drill. You have to leave a certain time allotted for putting toys together so youre not super cranky. Manage your own expectations about what its going to take. Kid testers, two perfect scores. They love it because it has a place to display all the cars that they collect and ramps. Like a parking garage. Kind of awesome. Exactly. Thank you so much. Kids, good job. By the way, another round of toys to review tomorrow on today. What age . Tweens. Trick e tweens . Lets move over to savannah.

Reporter gorgeous accessories to go with the perfect dress. I think this one is perfect. Yeah. Reporter and an invitation to wear them on Country Musics biggest night from one of its brightest new stars, kelsey bellerini. I wanted to ask you since youve had to miss out on stuff maybe if you would be my date to the cmas. Reporter killsy is nominated for two awards and wants ally by her side. I was not expecting that at all so i started crying just of happiness. I love you. So glad youre coming. Reporter friendship was born at st. Judes Childrens Hospital where kelsey was appearing alongside other country starts and mistook ally who had hair at the time for another musician. Kind of prior to figure out what she sings and all of a sudden shes like, yeah, im almost done with radiation for my brain tumor, and i was like oh, youre a patient. I had no idea. Reporter something clicked. They both felt it. We were like best friends immediately. Sorry. I dont know why im crying right now. Reporter its been a tough road for the 17yearold. A dancer, she was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago after forgetting her routine moments before a performance. Allys type of cancer is a humor called an epindimoma and they are quite rare, tended to have headaches, moments of forgetfulness which turned out in hindsight to likely be seizures. After treatment at st. Jude it appeared she had beaten her disease until july. A devastating diagnosis of a second more aggressive brain cancer, but doctors at st. Jude are not giving up. They are getting ally ready for a tough round of chemo. Days like this are a good form of medicine. Whats your game plan for today . Kelsea and i are going to walk out there, just happy, excited to be there. Reporter ally wont just be attending the show, with makeup and styling by kelseas team. Oh, my gosh. Those look so good. Reporter they will walk the red carpet side by side. Im just so excited to just see her on the red carpet feeling like a superstar. Reporter finally the big event, photographed and interviewed, a night neither young woman will forget. This is amazing. Its nothing ive ever experienced before. I feel super girly and glammed. Im so happy going to love me boy, help me like you mean it reporter a rising star and the new friend she says inspires her. For today, janet shamlian, nbc news, nashville. Ally allen is with us here along with marlo thom, the National Outreach director for st. Jude childrens research hospital. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Good morning. How are you doing al . Im doing great. Red carpet was fun . Yes, it was the best night of my life. What was this thing with just Justin Timberlake. The last day of my radiation at st. Jude Justin Timberlake was taking a tour at st. Jude and i just happened to be there. We see a little duet going on there. Reunited at the cmas so we sang reunited. Thats fantastic. Marlo, obviously the work that st. Jude has done means everything for Something Like ally. Whats exciting about this. We changed the paradigm at st. Jude. Several years ago we took a very brave and bold step. We dared to take children who had a recurrent disease like she has and give it a second round of radiation. Thats never been done before so what that has really done now is given her a chance she never would have had before. I think whats important to note not only are you doing this Ground Breaking work at st. Jude but other hospitals then take these advances and use them as well. Absolutely. We share this worldwide just the way we share all of our breakthroughs. Ally, you look great. Thank you so much. Look like youre having the time your life. Thank you. Great to have you here. Thank you. By the way, catch marlo starring in the off broadway play Clever Little Lies because marlo is the busiest woman ever. Doing double duty every day.

Kmt back of the record store. Ill tell you about that, but first this is today on nbc. Welcome back. Weve stepped outside to our Small Business saturday shops as we help promote local businesses and todays erica hill is here to introduce us to a shop in california which is hitting off the right motors. Thats exactly what you could say. Good morning to you. Turns out the music stores and vinyl heading the way of the eight track are exactly exaggerated and thats very good news for the city of long beach. Theres more than just nostalgia in these stacks of vinyl. There is a ritual to cleaning the record and putting it on and hearing the needle drop and being an active participant. Its a much better experience. Thousands of albums, new and old, keeping this Small Business turning for more than two decades. Whats allowed you to survive and even thrive as weve seen some of those big box retailers go under . Weve always tried to be engaging more than just a place to buy stuff. Fingerprint, a staple in long beach, california, is one of 28 million mom and pop shops across the country. Businesses that employ more than half of all working americans and help drive local economies. There really wasnt much in this neighborhood. Weve seen, you know, a lot of other people coming around us. I think it has had a Ripple Effect thats been kind of cool. Small Business Owners come in and believe in a community and hire people and people in turn support them back. Owner rand foster credits his success with putting the community first. Its not the chain coffee house or the big box or, you know, retail store, but the funky store that you go in and you never really know what youre going to find. At fingerprints those surprises include instore performances from big names. Lou read did one of his final public appearances here. Weve had jack johnson, john lee hooker, foo fighters. And upandcoming artists like cory dane whose dreams of making music started here. I think fingerprint afforded me a platform to get music to people before anyone else did. While business hasnt always been easy over the past 23 years foster says its all worth it. Is this your dream come true . I think 15yearold me would be kind of blown away by what 50yearold me gets to do. I think its pretty much a dream come true. So rand fosters fingerprints is a huge part of the community in long beach but also a Family Affair so he and his wife run it. They started the shop together and his son works there as well and met his son on the day they were there. I lost record shop. So glad to see it doing well. A great vibe to go into that store and thats the way he designed it, where people can just kind of sit and relax. Part of a community, cool. Erica, thank you. Lets bring in this conversation maria who is director of the Small Business association. Meet every year this time. I love it. Small business is the engine of america. Never been more important than today to support main street Small Businesses. The mom and pops are driving our economy creating majority of jobs and when you shop there you get something unique and special and you have 68 sent on the dollar that stays in the community. So i urge everybody to join the movement and support small. Look at enthusiasm we have. We love it. Small businesses add such character and texture to a community. Lets also talk about restaurants because people might think of the little shops or boutiques, but supporting local restaurants also a huge part of this. Thats right. When you shop small youll get Business Owner that knows a lot about their product and in the evening they went that day and supported the local restaurants, the locally owned restaurants that attract people, that are conveners and you create a sense of community and you have a special unique experience in this place, special recipes so i enjoyed shop small saturday here in new york and this year im going out to california as well so im delighted you featured our long beach business. Always good to have you here. Thank you so much. Well remind you Small Business saturday is this coming saturday. The go to sba. Gov to learn more how to grow and scale their business. Thank you so much. Coming up next, whats got the Property Brothers singing for joy . But, first, this is today on nbc. Welcome. Always a friendly hello. Always a perfectly flaky crust. Always mrs. Smiths flaky crust pies. The only one made with real butter and abundant seasonal fruit. Warm and welcoming and fresh from your oven with our flakiest crust ever. Youre always welcome at mrs. Smiths. Were back now. 8 48 with two of our favorites, drew and john than scott star of hgtvs the Property Brothers and tackling a new project renovating a sprawling ranch for their new show Property Brothers at home on the ranch. Good morning. Good morning. You hear this song . That sounds like a hit. Thats adeles new song. Who is singing that . Thats actually both of us. We wrote and recorded two songs for this series because we grew up on a ranch and every weekend we were around the camp fire. Country music stars now. Were trying. Country pop. A little edgy. Equal talent or normal where one of you covers for the other. I like to think that im the front man. Yes. And hes bigger than me. Bigger ego and bigger hair. Talk about the project. This one takes some real doing. This was crazy. This is an old Family Friends ranch, a ranch my dad worked on up in the Rocky Mountains back in the 50s and so we went back to the old Family Friends and decided to come and give it a complete makeover. How big is this place . 2,400 acres and a real working ranch and this is where they filmed legend of the fall and Lonesome Dove and broke bark mountain. Sgt guest house was a part of this. My dads friend scotty passed awaive cancer and was there every family holiday and doing a renovation that has those kind of memories mean something even more. And transforming the guest house, an old rundown place that the cowboy that worked the ranch lived and we transformed it and it looks like a suite. Lets move over here and talk about some things that people can do at home. This is what, a tree stump side table. People watch a show like this and ranch, even if you live in the city you can have a little bit of country in your home so what i we actually went out to the back property and just took down some of the trees lying on the ground and chopped them. Ass as cleaning up a larger log and taking smaller ones and attaching them to make a stump. If you live in the city and like this look, where would you suggest people go to get that stump. Westchester. Ask your neighbors in westchester. Lots of places can you get fallen trees or what not. The main thing with this just sand it down. You have to actually let it sit and dry out for about a month and sand it down, sand it and seal it. Dont want to introduce any bugs in your house so make sure it dries up properly. Seal the top and bottom and lay it on its side. And its a side table and one of those things and can you pull it over and its an extra seat if youre entertaining. Pull up a stump. Talk about the wagon wheel here. Wagon wheel, a little bit big of a project, but i love the idea of just mixing and matching things and maybe making a piece of wall decker. Get them at vint damage shops. Somebody that wants a style thats a little more rustic. Throw Something Like this. We have a plywood backing on it, you can stain that as well. Did that with some of the belt buckles, rodeo champions, Family Friends that we worked, took all of their belts and wall mount it had. Mix it up with leather in behind. And if youre more advanced, where do you get the clock kit. Any craft store. By the perfectly. Popped out all the gear from the middle and stuck the clock in. Jonathan has moved on from taking old crates into something, moved on to wagon wheel. Somewhere theres a wagon not operating just white. Put this up on blocks out west. How long is this going to take . Not this, the whole ranch. We just finished the ranch reno and it premiers tomorrow so the big excitement, of course, is our song is released today on itunes. People can get those tomorrow is the premiere of the show. Have everyone at hgtv is all excited because now they think they have inhouse country stars, excited, november 25th, going to be a good show, all about family and friends. Do you play the ukulele.

Thanksgiving also means a lot of travel. Yes. So well talk about the weather and the roads. All those things. We do want to let you know, you know, this is all against the backdrop of what happened in pair as i couple weeks ago. Two new warnings this morning, a bulletin issued by the fbi homestand, Homeland Security and National Counterterrorism Service Warning Law Enforcement to review procedures for active shooters. The new York City Police department lately, battening down the hatches and making sure they know what to do in case it happens in another major city. The state Department Also releasing Worldwide Travel alert to americans traveling abroad. They believe the likelihood of terror attacks will continue. They say these are all warnings, no specific and credible evidence of attacks at this time but just to keep your eyes out. As always. Makes sense. If you see something, say something. And speaking of travel, a lot of folks will be traveling in fact almost 47 million of us be traveling this thanksgiving weekend. 89 are going to be driving more that 50 miles from home and 7 flying, and interestingly enough aaa says that between wednesday and sunday more than 41 Million People will drive, but if youre traveling the big problems on thursday are going to be chicago, dallas and denier. Were going to look at that in more details coming up. G gasbuddy. Com saying this thanksgiving day gas will be below their 2, between 2. Thats incredible. Crazy stuff. So its going to be kind of interesting to see what happens. I mean people are driving everywhere. All driving over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house and well look at the interesting stuff as far as weather is concerned. Thursday, which used to be a dead day as far as traveling, is now just as active as any other day and have some major trouble spots. Are you going to be traveling . No, weve got the parade and then were just going out to dinner afterwards. Not real maybe maybe doing a turkey on on saturday. Weekend turkey. I like that. Sometimes i just like to call the butterball hotline just to talk to them. Just for a friend. Im a lonely man and want to talk turkey. Hows your beginlets . If you dont mind my asking. Usa today says that the butterball talk line up 165 last year with people asking exactly what al wants to know how your beginlets, we say beginlets. I say beginlets but i hear beginlets in the northeast. Yeah. I still dont know the right way to say that. So the emails actually spiked, too, 53 . Some of the questions. Emails now. Yeah. Have a website. Up with the imes. Fuller is skris. So the question, whats the difference between fresh and frozen . I think we pretty much know that. Maybe more with cook times, does it vari or not really . With frozen. If its frozen its going to take a very long time. But prep, i imagine the brining and all of that maybe. Got to thaw it out. And thaw it in the fridge. For like two days. What are beginlets, people want to know that. Remember the year we were here and i cooked thanksgiving dinner and i left the bag inside. Did you really . I bet thats a common mistake. And i had i went in and im like searching for it. I gave it an exam. What is it . What did you have, an 80pound turkey. I did. How did you not find it. You didnt find anything. And when i started to carve it politely threw it away without telling my guests. The polyurethane tastes fantastic. Does the bag melt. The one hi held up. It did. And i imagine people have done it so much. I was mortified and embarrassed but not enough to share it with my guests. This is my other favorite thing, just quickly, in addition to the butterball. The New York Times has an app called thanksgiving for all, and they ask you a few questions, how many people are you going to have, how experienced are you as a cook and how many omnivores are your guest and what kind of meals . Show the american people. There you go. My phone is all dirty. Its New York Times. Bottom line, once you fill ought of this out. Its a questionnaire. And then they give you all of these recipes and the turkey and everything, and they base it on how much time, so if youre last minute go to this app and you can get sides or even a turkey recipe if its thawed super quick. I love it. The isnt that cool. Thanksgiving for all. New york times, check it out. We love the New York Times checking section. Fantastic. Second only to today food. Unbelievable. They are almost like a drill team. Yeah. Watch them. True. They have these drill ma turves, throwing turkeys across each other and in unison. They are unbelievable. They should be in the parade really. Really should. Sink nitzed turkey throws. After you stuff yourself with the turkey everybody thinks to go to shopping. Yes. For the shopaholics out there this might be a smart thing for you. I know i might need this at some point. If youre reaching for your credit card, take a look at what this purse will do. Okay, maybe put it back, put it back. Okay. Thats like the onion. Who bid on that. Thats not real. Its a voiceover. Its a bag that shouts messages. Do you really need this. Youre already in overdraft. Thats one of those stories to see if the news media will do it. Im told at at scottish university. Scottish university. And has a cockney accent. So heres what im telling you, lad. I want all of you to go right now and go to class and i want you to create something that really fool those people at the today show. Thats what you do. There was a little speaker on the picture and the video was definitely not real. Looks like a little speaker on the bag right there. Thats a credit card. No, on the bottom. On the bottom left corner. Whose voice would you want. I would want my husbands voice though i already hear my husbands voice in my head, why are you buying another this or that that . Is id go morgan freeman. Voice of authority. Tell me to put it away ill put it away. Voice of god. My friend andy. I would think it would have been morgan freeman, someone that can command the shopping addiction that i have to just stop. Morgan freeman couldnt stop you. Morgan freeman. How about gilbert gottfried. Put that back. Whats your problem . Hello stop it because youre dropping. Do you need that. A little jerry lewis. That is a little bit. Nice lady. With the credit card and the thing. I go with jerry lewis now, never mind. I think i would go with al roker. I think i like that. Al roker. Very nice. Thats amazing. Any other impersonations you want to do. No, i dont think so. Youre wiped. Im done, finished. Its only 9 08 right now. Im going to go take a nap. Do you have this weather dress, al. I do. Its a lifestyle. Would you get it in pink, blue, i guess you cant get green. We dont use koromakeys so i could. Apparently this dress was on sale at amazon and a meteorologist in one city shared it with all of her facebook friends, they have a group of weather anchors and meteorologists, and suddenly everyone popped up with the same dress with different colors. Its an adorable dress, got the little darts there so its figure flagger. 30, good deal. And all buying them in multiple colors. Pike in multiple colors. The dress is Still Available. The last picture, all the anchors across america looking beautiful in it and because its so flattering to the figure anyone can truly were going to try this again. There you go. I love how they sound effects, to. Makes it even more disturbing. With the handbag. And while youre looking at that picture play that song love yourself. Clearly in a thanksgiving mood. Man. Wow. Go ahead, roker. Thats disturbing. Lets look a little more indepth at your travel troubles for today. So lets start in denver on thanksgiving day. Denver is going to be basically a little bit of a problem. Light snow, freezing drizzle and delays due to advice ann. Dangerous road conditions. Now we move down to dallas. Dallas only needs three more inches and it will be their rainiest year ever. Rain with thunderstorms and delays between the storms and on the road youve got to the worry about gusty wind so highprofile vehicles will have problems and then we move to chicago. Snow on the ground. Warmer temperatures and rain coming in. So theres a flood threat. So delays due to visibility and the roads will be slick with some flooding, so those are our three trouble spots on thanksgiving day. Thats whats going on good morning. Im meteorologist bill henley. A cold start and a cloudy one, too. But skies will be clearing. Sunshine will take over. Still chilly this afternoon. 40s to near 50 degrees. Tomorrow a little bit warmer, up to 53 after a morning low of 40. Bright sunshine wednesday. Here come the 60s for thanksgiving day and friday even warmer, up to 65. But then a cold front arrives saturday with a chance of showers. Chillier weather sunday and monday. Have a great day. Im glad you enjoyed my walk over here. My jacket got caught on my microphone.

Im meteorologist bill henley. A cold start and a cloudy one, too. But skies will be clearing. Sunshine will take over. Still chilly this afternoon. 40s to near 50 degrees. Tomorrow a little bit warmer, up to 53 after a morning low of 40. Bright sunshine wednesday. Here come the 60s for thanksgiving day and friday even warmer, up to 65. But then a cold front arrives saturday with a chance of showers. Chillier weather sunday and monday. Have a great day. And that is your latest wetter. Were so exciteded about something . We are. Get ready for a wild time because big cat week comes roaring back into homes this friday on nat geo wild with the premiere of cougars undercover and it kicks off with never before seen footage of some precious wildcats up close and personal in their natural habitat. Look at that. I we were talking doing this cougar session i thought it was your saturday night. Thank you very much. The nate geo wild big cat expert. Nice to see you. What great work you do, despite our bad jokes around here. Were happy about this segment though. This is never before seen. This cougar cub does not thats a tiger. Well, i heard cougars. Anyway, tell us about the parenting styles of these guys. You know, this is really unique. What the guys on the cougar project have been able to do with the remote cameras is we see personalities that we havent seen before. Got a mom who is strict. She runs these guys down the gauntlet, ant contrast is her sister, who also has kittens, who is the hippie mom. Lots of love, everythings good. And thats how they run. Just completely different styles. So fascinating because we assume we know so much about big cats through research, but they are so much more complex than we ever imagined. Cougars are the ones we think we have figured out and yet were seeing with these video cameras for the first time behaviors that weve never seen before so thats exciting. Let bring in this 3monthold bengal tiger. Part of this is obviously to preserve and protect in your studies of what weve learned. One the things were working on. This is millie, a bengal tiger. Bengal tigers are one that we are really excited about. Shes had like 12 bottles of milk. Warm mill blg. Maybe had some coffee. These guys are extremely edge dangered and one of the things of big cat week is awareness, their flights and struggles. Whoops. I have to hold it up. Keep it up. You want some . They can get up to be 400, 450 pound and can get really big. This is a 3monthold tyinger. Why do you keep going for it . I want her to take it. Different ways to feed them. Lets bring the leopard in. Thank you very much, millie. Millie, you fed her too much earlier so she wouldnt take my milk, darn it. Oh, okay. This is a black leopard, 5 months old . What do we need to do. Weve got handlers. Just in that youre all right. Im sure i am. In that playful teenager stage. Is that playing . Thats playing. Shes excited. Those are very big claws. She also wants something to eat. I bet she does. We have safari live where people can tune in throughout weekend to a live safari and one of the things we get to see, new to big cat week and see some of these guys actually in the wild and there are black leopards where were doing the safari. Shes so powerful and you have this thin little chain. Spring loaded. So bizarre. Shes fascinating. Look at her. You guys can see the rosettes, the spots. Im going to point from here. Boone smith.

The quintessential holiday dessert. We did some shortcuts. Instant pudding mix. Great. And store bought whipped cream. Got it. How well upgrade it is add a little bit of peppermint extract.

I love that. The mint chocolate leads on the top. Whoopee pies are so popular. They are nostalgic and back in style. Everyone loves a whoopee pie and these are filled with a delicious cream cheese butter cream frosting and great for when you have way too many people in the kitchen and heres a piping bag, get to work on the whoopee pies. The cookie recipe in your cook and get your cookies and whats inside, the filling. This is the cream cheam butter cream and put them together. Mix and match. Get the kids involve. Cook timewise, how long will Something Like this take. Make the cookies in advance and make the frosting in advance and do it all at once. Maybe make the cookies the day before. You can make them today, make the frosting tomorrow and on thanksgiving you can have everyone assemble their own whoopee pie. Fun for kids, too. I love that. Last but not least, the coconut cake. My moms favorite cake and its very complex. Its delicious. But this one is easy. This is great because whether you make my coconut cake recipe or buy one from the store you can always upgrade it and this the trick. Just use this chocolate coating. Take the chocolate and the spoon. This can be a regular box cake with your frosting and coconut around the end. Right on the top, just dump it right on. Fet in there. This is the good stuff, the ooh and ah, and then you sort of spoon it around and let it drip off the sides and this will really impress your guests. Yeah, its perfect.
