Listen bobby next time before you wash something will you check the label where it says dry clean only . Though it ended in 1974, reruns and repeats kept the bradys, and henderson, in the spotlight for multiple generations. I grew up in a very large, poor, family. Reporter ten kids, right . Ten. Wow.

But the reruns, right, thats why its so then movies. And still on reruns. And then the very brady christmas. Shes up there with mike and alice. Yeah. All right it is black friday. The unofficial start of the Holiday Shopping season. Weve already seen people rushing to beat out other shoppers for the best deals as we always get these videos in. Every year, one survey found 59 of american adults, more than 137 million people, plan to shop over thanksgiving weekend, online sales for black friday are expected to top 3 billion for the first time. Don dahler is at a Queens Center mall in new york city where black friday shoppers are up early. Seeking out bargains. Don, good morning. Good morning. Its not too crazy here yet but it likely will be later today. This is expected to be one of the busiest shopping holiday seasons in recent history. One of the new things are these apps that a lot of people are using. But the experts warn that you need to approach these new conveniences with a sense of buyer beware. Shoppers streamed to the Stores Across the nation eager for the once a year black friday deals. But many started one day early. Just had thanksgiving lunch and then i just came shopping right after. Reporter but despite the rush the real frenzy isnt happening inside the stores, between midnight and 5 30 thursday evening, 1. 15 billion dollars of sales have been made online. Up more than 13 from last year. This year, 41 of all sales are projected to be made on mobile devices. That would be a record high. Any store that has an app, i use it. Its easier. Reporter an estimated onethird of retailers now offer mobile apps. People can use their smartphones to locate instore items, find sales, and even check a competitors price. The marnlens have gotten tighter and tighter. Reporter michelle is a blogger with she finds media. Click to see what the other prices are before you have to drive from store to store to compare prices or go through tons of inserts in your newspaper. Reporter but that convenience has made retail apps the perfect target for cyber criminals. Chris mason runs a company that bills mobile apps for retailers. For every 100 taken down there would be 200 coming up, and its a game of whackamole. Reporter mason suggests only downloading apps from a retailers website, checking reviews, and avoiding third party publishers. Two out of three major retailers still dont have an app. So whenever theres that opportunity exists fraudsters will basically take that void as an advantage to put an app up. A recent survey shows that a lot of people who are shopping online do so because no one can tell what theyre doing. Don, thank you very much. President elect donald trump will be at his florida resort again today after spending thanksgiving with his family. His top cabinet position, secretary of state, is still open and many republicans appear divided over who should get that job. Senior transition adviser Kellyanne Conway is apparently questioning a top candidate, mitt romney. The 2012 republican nominee tried to derail mr. Trumps candidacy. He represents the establishment the Trump Campaign wanted to upend. Many feel Darrell Barnett is following this transition from washington, good morning. Good morning. If we think back to the post year, president elect trump made Foreign Policy a centerfees of his campaign. But he has yet to name secretaries of defense, homeland security, or state. And what were seeing is the current fight on the Transition Team is over who will lead the state department. The question that has mr. Trumps inner circle bitterly divided. President elct donald trump was out of sight yesterday. Enjoying a thanksgiving meal with family at his maralago resort. But he did not take the holiday off. Writing online, i am working hard, even on thanksgiving, trying to get carrier a. C. Company to stay in the u. S. On the campaign trail mr. Trump repeatedly pointed to the company as an example of how trade deals have negatively impacted american workers. Companies like carrier simply fire their workers, and move their operations to mexico, build new plants, make their product and sell it back into this country. Reporter carrier confirmd it has had discussions about the incoming administration, but has nothing to announce at this time. Also yesterday, senior transition adviser and former Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conway publicly discouraged mr. Trump from choosing mitt romney as secretary of state. Could beway shared an article on twitter titled some trump loyalists warn against romney as secretary of state. And praise the loyalty of former state department secretaries. Hinting at romneys previous trump criticisms. Hes playing the members of the American Public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the white house, and all we get is a lousy hat. Insults between mr. Trump and the 2012 nominee flew in both directions. The last election should have been won except romney choked like a dog. He choebed. He went i cant breathe. Reporter now also kurptly on the list for the secretary of state slot, youve got former cia director david petraeus. Senator bob corker. And longtime trump ally Rudy Giuliani. Now once seen as mr. Trumps top pick giulianis chances have been waning recently, so hes been making a public take to his appointment, listing various foreign trips and his close personal relationship with the israeli Prime Minister as reasons why he thinks he is the most qualified. Dana . Errol barnett, thank you. The 2016 president ial election isnt over according to the Green Party Candidate jill stein. She says shes raised enough money to file for a recount in wisconsin. Shes also planning to file in michigan and pennsylvania. Ann westerner talked to stein and others who wants to reexamine the vote that made the difference for donald trump. Good morning. Many people might say the election is done. Theres nothing left to discuss. But some Voting Rights advocates have more questions about an election process they say was tainted by hacking. And judging by the fact that jill stein raised more than 4. 5 Million Dollars in donations, in roughly a day and a half, many voters appear to want their questions answered, too. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, and im sorry that we did not win this election. Reporter shes the candidate who lost. But now the candidate who had no hope of winning wants to take another look at the election results. Why is it you doing this and not Hillary Clinton . I think a lot of people are asking that question. Reporter so why is jill stein asking for recounts . She says there are too many questions about close vote totals in wisconsin and pennsylvania, and in michigan, which is still too close to call. Combine that with what u. S. Investigators said was russias hacking of the dnc, and Voter Registration systems in about ten states, stein says the results deserve a second look. I dont think its going to change the outcome. And the Election IntegritySecurity Experts dont think so, either. So why do it then . Because we need to change our voting system. We need to implement these safeguards so that were not asking the question after the fact. Reporter Voting Rights attorney john bonifaz points out the only mechanism to verify electronic voting machine totals is to count the actual paper ballots that back them up, something that does not happen unless there is a recount. We ought to verify the vote, in any functioning democracy, we should be verifying the vote. Were competing in a rigged election. This is a rigged election, folks, okay . Reporter it was donald trump who claimed the fix was in before the election. But yesterday, his Senior AdviserKellyanne Conway mocked clinton supporters with a tweet. Saying, look who cant accept the election results. So we talked about vote totals and how close they were in those three states. But heres a visual to make it easier. In pennsylvania, approximately 68,000 votes separate clinton and mr. Trump. Roughly the number of people at a sold out eagles game. In wisconsin, the difference is just over 27,000 votes, or about a third of the seats at lambeau field. And in michigan, which remains uncalled, mr. Trump leads by under 12,000 votes. Barely enough people to fill the Minor League Ball park in lansing. Jeff . Anna, thank you very much. Susan page is usa todays Washington Bureau chief. Shes with us now from washington. Susan, good morning. Good morning. What are we to make of this, all the recount talk right now . Well, one thing we should remember is that there is not any evidence so far, credible evidence of a systemic problem with the count in these few states. But there is enormous frustration amongst democrats, in particular, about the close margin, and the fact that it was these states that unexpectedly gave the president ial election to donald trump. And i think thats whats reflected by the very good fundraising numbers for jill stein. Shes now raised more money in a couple days for a recount than she raised during her entire president ial campaign. Frustration is one thing, susan, but do you think this will actually lead to the Clinton Campaign asking contesting, i should say, the election . There is no evidence that the Clinton Campaign is supporting this effort. And these deadlines are looming. Today and monday and two of these key states. There is a tradition in this country in modern times, president ial candidates, even when theres a very close vote, not contesting the results. We saw that with gerald ford in 1976, with Richard Nixon in 1960. And we see no signs so far that the Clinton Campaign wants this recount to go forward. Susan, i want to ask you about Kellyanne Conway, Donald TrumpsCampaign Manager, tweeting about mitt romney, essentially lobbying against him. Have we ever seen Something Like this where cabinetlevel positions are being discussed on social media, and the president elect might actually react to that . You know, its so interesting. Maybe we shouldnt be surprised with our first twitter president that his top aides are lobbying him in this way. But it is pretty remarkable for Kellyanne Conway, one of his closest aides to this campaign, to be publicly raising questions about one of the leading candidates for secretary of state mitt romney. Weve never seen anything like this before. Susan, we saw nikki haley appointed u. N. Ambassador to South Carolina governor, what else might we expect in the in the coming week here after the holiday . Well, we certainly have some of the biggest jobs in the Administration Still open. Secretary of state secretary of defense, secretary of treasury, these are all the key positions, the top positions in the cabinet, and while weve seen some people come in to talk to the president elect about these jobs we really dont have a sense of who hes going to settle on. And more than in some previous administrations, it is really totally up to the president elect and his decision in some cases thats been a bit surprising. Nikki haley for instance. He had been pretty critical of donald trump during the primary that during the republican primary so the fact that she emerged in as u. N. Ambassador i think is interesting, as a sign he will embrace those who are quite critical of him. Although maybe not if they didnt actually vote for him. Nikki haley has said that she did vote for him. It is pretty fascinating to follow the twitter presidency here. Kellyanne conway sharing this article, this political article, and then the president elect himself sending the carrier tweet yesterday on thanksgiving. Yeah. And maybe this is going to be the new the new way this administration will function. It is one way to by pass the traditional media and go directly to americans and make your case. But the Kellyanne Conway tweet was pretty interesting balls it was so in 140 characters she managed to say hey, we want somebody who will be loyal as secretary of state. That was a shot at mitt romney and also said you dont have to travel so much as secretary of state, you can be the adviser, stay close to home, that was making a case for Rudy Giuliani. Theres been some suggestion that he would not travel as much as some of the recent secretaries of state. Susan page, thank you as always. Thank you. A bomb blast killed a u. S. Service member in northern syria. An explosive device blew up yesterday more than
