Fox friends starts now. Hi everybody. Good morning. Happy thanksgiving. Today is thursday, the 27th of november 2014. Im anna kooiman. Shocking images emerge of ferguson, missouri before and after the Darren Wilson decision. Buildings leveled. But hopes rising from the ashes.

Thank you, joel. [turkey gobbling] i didnt know a turkey could jump that high. Good morning. Welcome to fox friends on this thursday morning. Were getting all festive. What is that smell . It smells amazing. Deep fried turkey in the studio this morning. Turkeys can fly. Can they . They can jump and fly. Rick is here this morning. Nice to see you. Brian, elisabeth and steve are enjoying their thanksgiving. Weve got a jampacked show. Rick, are you a little bit sad youre not at the parade . Ive done it for eight years, its one of my favorite things. But i am grateful and happy to be here. This is the 88th year for the macys thanksgiving day parade. What an american tradition. It wouldnt be thanksgiving without the big parade, so there she is. Good morning. Rick, maybe you can meet me here for a little bit. Were not too far away from you. Were on 77th and Central Park West, the starting point of the parade, the
macys thanksgiving day parade. We expect a nice day. Temperatures a little bit on the chilly side. We had a noreaster move from the northeast. Were not looking at too much in the way of precipitation. However it is a chilly day. Current wind chill temperatures in the 20s. 28 degrees is what it feels like. As far as the parade goes, were expecting six new balloons. Were looking at five new floats that will be marching in the parade. That is in addition to marching bands, cheerleaders, dancers, singers and clowns that will be joining us. The temperature when the parade starts should be about 35 degrees. Factor in the wind chill and it should feel like the low 30s out here. In new york city we had hundreds of thousands of people show up last night because balloons are blown up. They are going to be flying. The winds will not be an issue today. Sometimes you hear winds can be a concern gusting over 30 miles an hour. Weather conditions across the rest of the country, not bad. A relatively quiet thanksgiving day for many americans. We did have a clipper system move through portions of the midwest. That system is gone. Behind it youre looking at temperatures that are chilly. 20 for chicago. Teens for the city of fargo. Out west across parts of the rockies, especially the northern rockies, thats where you could be looking at areas of snow. Overall take a look at this weather picture. Sunny conditions across parts of the south and also the southwest. A quiet thanksgiving day, something to be thankful for. Lets head back to the studios. Thanks, maria. Everybody today is on the road and you want the weather to be looking good for 3,000 Flights Canceled yesterday. Unbelievable the amount of people that were hampered by that big storm yesterday. Favorite balloon . Spiderman or sponge bob is awesome. I live right where the balloons are blown up. It happens where i live. The day before thanksgiving about 300,000 people come up there, and it is one of the worst days to live right there. But you get to see all the balloons and sponge bob square pants, held down by a net. Cant wait until he gets to fly. He wants to be let loose. A lot big stores open tonight. Youve eaten all the turkey, hung out with the family and maybe you want to get up and go to a store. Now more and more retailers are getting on to the band wagon of opening their doors on thanksgiving day. Weve got a list of 14 major retailers that are open if youre one of those folks that as soon as the pie has settled youre ready to hit the retailers. Target, macys, kohls, j. C. Penneys, best buy, toys r us. And the list goes on. It was just a couple of years ago when the first Big Department store decided to be open on thursday and so many have come in line right after. Some of them are saying
were not going to do this. Some who are not going to be open, the American Girl store, barnes noble, bed, bath and beyond and dillards. Dillards made a point to say we are not going to be open. They basically said we think this is going to make our employees feel very valued. Theyre going to be better employees to us. Treat the customers better. Wield the spokesperson for dillards we had the spokesperson for dillards on yesterday. This is what she had to say. This is the right thing to do for them, allowing them this time off with their families on this special day to take a breather before things get really busy. We just believe that if we honor our associates, in the long run they will honor our customers as well. Some retailers on the other end are saying thanksgiving is falling late this year, which always shortens their season because black friday being the busiest shopping day of the year, if that falls late in november that shortens their peak time. Every year that thanksgiving falls late, theyre praying its going to be a good year. Are your parents open today . Theyre not. Tomorrow will be you spend all day with the family and get the in laws in by the way, we have great tips on how to survive that later on in the show this morning. But youre crammed in there, cabin fever all day. I know the feeling. When i was growing up just want to get out of the house a little bit. A lot of places are going to be open. Theres also some states that are saying maybe we should put some rules in place and set some laws up. An ohio congressman decided to introduce a bill. He thinks they should not be allowed to. But if theyre going to, there should be some monetary incentive. So he says that he believes there should be triple pay. Triple pay thats why a lot of people like to work on the
holidays. Double pay. What is it . Time and a half . Time and a half. Im looking at our camera guy. The congressman in ohio that wants to do this he basically met a woman and her mother last year, an 82yearold mother, both of them had to work on the holiday and felt bad about it. He said cant there be just one day thats carved out of this consumer, imperialistic society that were living in . There is one day. Its called christmas. On the other hand, people love black friday. It has become a Family Tradition. They map out which store theyre going to hit. I think my wife hit target at midnight one year. I said really . Door busters. There was no one there. She got all her shopping done. Lets check in with
ainsley. Have you done all your shopping . Ive done a lot of it. While yall are talking im offense at the computer. Shopping. While youre at the mall you can shop for obamacare this year. Black friday is the biggest shopping day of the year. Malls in eight different states will see Health Care Navigators handing out fliers trying to get people to enroll. Certain websites will be pushing insurance. Even though there are massive deals on other products, obamacare, however, will still come at a full price. Extreme weather heading out this thanksgiving, which is great news. Prayers are answered for that. Flights are back on track and roads are cleared after a nasty noreaster caused travel nightmares for millions of americans. Nearly 700 flights were canceled and thousands more delayed. The snow, sleet and rain also causing hundreds of accidents across several state including about 200 accidents in new jersey and more than 100 in
connecticut. New overnight, passengers sent into panic mode when their plan is forced to make an Emergency Landing on the busiest travel day of the year. The united flight was heading to chicago when the indicator light went on in the cockpit. There was a problem with the landing gear. Pretty scary. The pilot turned that plane around to wichita where it landed safely. The 42 people on board were able to get on another flight to their designation. A different kind of executive action making headlines at the white house this thanksgiving. Today im taking an action fully within my legal authority, the same kind of action taken by democrats and republican president s before me, to spare the lives of two turkeys. President obama pardoning the two turkeys. He names them mack and cheese. Cheese took the top honor in an online poll. Sasha and malia joined
their dads but they kept their distance from the turkeys. The turkeys will live out the remainder of their days at a place called turkey hill in virginia. And those are your headlines. Theyve got shuffle board there. Lovely. New video out of los angeles. A massive mob of Ferguson Protesters filling the streets in los angeles. Police arresting 100 people there. Were live in ferguson where protesters were a bit calmer last night. Good morning, dominick. No major confrontations last night on what was a majorly cold evening. We saw just two arrests which is an extreme change in the environment we saw just two nights ago. Im standing in front of the ferguson market and liquor. About an hour ago we had the National Guard standing outside here. They moved off. Nobody has come. I think that is an indication of how calm
things have become here. We can show you new video what happened precisely during the second looting of this store a rioters fled inside the building. They started a fire and believe it or not, a woman inside the store, a customer there, grabbed a carton of milk, poured it over the flames preventing the market from being burned down. We can show you what happened to businesses that were burned down during the rioting. One is a beauty parlor. Another is an auto parts store. Another is a title loan store. Authorities here are gearing up for more protests on thanksgiving day because people are actually off. But you get a sense that its going to be a much calmer, a much more tamer day or so ahead of us. One of the reasons for that is is its going to remain cold. People also a sense of fatigue. Were going to see warmer weather over the weekend, about 54 degrees. The sense is more people could come out and there could be more confrontation then. Back to you guys. Thanks, dominick. It is a stunning reversal. Senator Chuck Schumer says his party blew it when it comes to obamacare. Should the president be admitting the same . Well see if that happens. Its a thanksgiving surprise. We have a winner. Holiday fliers making off with a lot more than their bags. Its an awesome story. Stick around.

One of the Top Democrats changing his tune about obamacare at a speech this week, senator which you can schumer senator Chuck Schumer said democrats made a mistake after they passed the 2009 stimulus. Democrats blew the opportunity the American People gave them. We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem. Health care reform. It wasnt the change we were hired to make. Americans were crying out for the end to the
recession, for better wages and more jobs. Not changes in health care. Schumers remarks on obamacare getting backlash from the left. But is there truth to his comments . Lets ask republican strategist and former congressional candidate from georgia westin wallop. Why is Chuck Schumer saying this now right before thanksgiving . I think thanksgiving, republican or democrat, we ought for thankful for anyone willing to break the script. I think on this specific issue this is what he feels like. I think there are people like senator schumer who want to be relevant beyond the president s political career and are willing to call a spade a spade now. Anything out of a politicians mouth is always to me calculated. Hes reading off notes as hes standing at the
national press club. He was on the front lines in 2008 and 2009 praising obamacare. What changed . I think hes one of the few people in washington i mean this who is willing to admit a mistake. I wish on my side of the aisle that Speaker Boehner would admit that last year it was probably a mistake not to allow a vote on the house floor on the Senate Version of the immigration bill. I think we probably would have never seen executive action from the preresident had Speaker Boehner done this. It is a healthier refresh for american politics for people at the top every once in a while to admit they might have made a mistake. Hes really saying the president missed an opportunity to go after the recession straight on. When americans were calling for jobs, jobs, it was the president s mistake to be focusing on health care, health care; right . Where senator schumer deserves some credit is he apparently hears from the American People even in the state of new york things that the president is not yet hearing. That is for six years the vast majority of the mimgdz
mimgdz middle class feels this administration is focused on small minorities. They spent six years spending a tremendous amount of energy to give Health Care Coverage to nine Million People. Hundreds of millions of middle class, or tens of millions of middle class americans feel sort of lost and like theyve got no support in the administration. Nancy pelosi disagrees. She says there are 14 million reasons why Chuck Schumer is wrong on this now that they have insurance. Thanks for getting up early with us. Coming up, the president grants millions of illegals amnesty. Now they may be taking our jobs. The incentive to hire them over americans that will have you furious. Today we give thanks. It turns out its not only good for your soul but it could save your life. Dr. Ratcliff is here to explain. What makes thermacare different . Two words it heals. How . With heat.
