consider what the industry is already doing to create safe, age appropriate experiences, or listen to the voices of young people and of course, once that law goes into effect, we'll find out if it can be effective. >> right and then people will have some evidence, so to speak, to point to. i want to thank my panel for being here today. jeff errol also erin and megan. and i want to thank you for joining us. i'm audie cornish and cnn news central starts right now the holiday shopping season is officially here. >> a record number of americans expected to hit the stores on this black friday, many of them hoping to score the best deals of course, as retailers hope to
4:01 am
really kick things off with a strong start. >> and at least four democratic lawmakers targeted with bomb threats as they spent thanksgiving with their families. >> the incidents coming just a day after several of president-elect donald trump's cabinet picks faced similar threats and costco shoppers in multiple states put on notice this morning thousands of organic eggs are being recalled over salmonella concerns. i'm omar jimenez with erica hill. this is cnn news central it's here. >> the moment you've been waiting for the race to the register officially on more than 183 million people are expected to hit the stores, both in person and online. >> at some point over the weekend, and that would actually set a new record, according to the national retail federation, about two thirds of black friday shoppers say they're actually going into the store today. >> cnn's mina dursun joining us now. so, mina, this actually feels to me like a big, like a big jump in terms of the number
4:02 am
of people who are actually going into a store yeah, i think you know, shopping has recovered in person. you know, it's come up a lot since the last few years when people were really doing the bulk of their shopping online. >> now we have 65% of shoppers saying they're planning to hit the mall in person. you know, we have lines in the mall behind us. shoppers are waiting for these stores to open a huge amount of shoppers. you know, 89% of young adults said that they were planning on shopping on black friday this year so it's shaping up to be a pretty healthy holiday season. adults are expected to spend around $900 this holiday season, so it's not extravagant spending this year. but it's supposed to be, you know, rebounding from from years prior, a little rebound i'm sure retailers will take anything they can get at this point. >> there's been a lot of back and forth about these tariffs. it's not clear whether they're going to be put into place, but later on next year they could impact some bigger ticket items. are retailers trying to capitalize on that at all and trying to maybe convince people to buy now yeah. >> well erica, experts are
4:03 am
saying that there are a few major categories of items that, you know, if you're in the market for these items, perhaps you should be looking at these deals today as an opportunity to save some money in case these tariffs do take effect. you know, some of these bigger ticket items could go up in price upwards of 20%. if if these tariffs do hit consumers, you know, as they're expected to and those items include, you know, big household appliances. if you're in the market for a fridge or let's say a washer or dryer, those are the kinds of things that if you stock up on now, you know, they if they if those items do go up in price, you know, when those tariffs do take effect, you could be saving, you know potentially 20%. other big categories include, you know, laptops or tablets. these are items typically you know maybe imported from china. maybe canada mexico, things like video game consoles. you know, we're seeing experts telling us those could be going up potentially upwards of 40% of what they cost today. if these tariffs do take effect smartphones and even e-bikes so those are things if those are items you're in the market for
4:04 am
potentially items to maybe keep an eye out for a deal today. and, you know maybe that's something that could save you down the line. >> yeah. set an alert for when they go on sale. mina. appreciate it. thank you omar i'm always setting alerts for those sales. >> erica. look. all right, we're talking thanksgiving. you probably saw some of the parades. pies have been eaten. time for millions of people to pack up their thanksgiving leftovers and head home in theory. but wintry weather could make it a bit challenging for some travelers. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking the weather conditions for us. i really would have liked some wintry weather yesterday i got a lot of rain here in new york, but how cold could it get now? moving forward, right? >> pretty cold. i mean, here's the thing. like for a lot of these years, you were going to be well below where you should be. this time of year. now, what that means for air travel, if you've got plans today or tomorrow the skies really aren't going to be much of an issue today. the concern is going to be on the roadways especially around the great lakes region. so we take a look right here on the map. you can see it's because of lake effect
4:05 am
snow. that's where the concern is really going to be and again be. and again both you're talking about the midwestern states as well as the northeastern states, where there's going to be a concern, but the rest of the country not necessarily too bad, but look at how much snow already fell just in the last 24 hours. portions of vermont, new york and even maine picking up at least a foot of snow. some of these areas are now going to get even more snow on top of it. you've got the great lakes. they are very warm right now, but now we're going to add some very cold air on top of it. that is fuel to create a lot of this lake effect snow. and it's going to occur in portions of michigan, ohio, pennsylvania and new york where you're really going to see those ramp up as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours. but already starting to see some of those bands begin to take shape here's all of the alerts that you have. the winter storm warnings, the lake effect snow warnings. and again, you're talking buffalo stretching back through the eastern cleveland suburbs. that's where you're really going to see some of the higher numbers. same thing for watertown, new york. these areas are going to be measuring
4:06 am
the snow in feet. it is not out of the question, especially near watertown 3 to 5ft of snow could fall in the next 48 to 72 hours. and that cold air we talked about, it's already starting to surge into the northern tier of the country. look at this. the temperatures combined with the wind giving you that wind chill. it feels like a very balmy -26. and minot, north dakota, minus 15. in fargo, even minneapolis feeling like minus four as this at this very moment that cold air is going to continue to dip south though. so it's not expected to stay in the extreme northern states. in fact, some states even as far south as the gulf coast are looking at freeze alerts in effect not only for this morning, but even tomorrow morning. so as we go into the weekend, those temperatures we talked about, look at this, chicago, they're normal. maybe right around 29, 30 degrees. they'll be half of that saturday and sunday. those low temperatures looking at only 15 degrees on on saturday morning, saint louis atlanta, d.c., new
4:07 am
york, all looking at those temperatures, at least 5 to 15 degrees below where they normally would be this time of year. and it's going to stay that way. atlanta for the rest of this week. highs and low temperatures well below average. >> allison, i always look at the temperatures in fargo, north dakota this time of year to make me feel better about wherever i am this week. it's going to be no different. allison chinchar thank you so much. all right, look, we're doing a lot of shopping this week. a lot of you do it at costco. and this morning thousands of eggs sold are under recall because of salmonella concerns. and we're talking about kirkland signature organic pasture raised 24 count eggs. it probably looks something a little similar to what you're seeing on the screen there. almost 11,000 cartons were sent last week to stores in alabama, georgia, the carolinas and tennessee. the supplier issued the recall after realizing the eggs were distributed by mistake and not meant for retail sales. so keep an eye out if you've got a package similar to those. all right, still ahead, a holiday scare

threats targeting at least four democratic lawmakers from connecticut, including congressman jim himes and joe courtney. >> those threats coming on thanksgiving day while the officials were home celebrating with family. law enforcement determined there was no evidence of any bombs, and the members report their families are safe. these threats, though, come just a day after some of president-elect donald trump's cabinet picks were also targeted with bomb threats and swatting incidents. cnn's zachary cohen joins us now with the very latest from washington. so what more do we know about these threats, this new round of threats? >> yeah erika, for house lawmakers, all democrats, all from connecticut saying that they were the targets of bomb threats while they were home with their families celebrating the thanksgiving holiday. and these lawmakers include representative joe courtney, representative jim himes, john thune jim himes john larson and jahana hayes and, as you mentioned, law enforcement responding to each of these threats and ultimately finding that there was no evidence of an actual bomb. but this is part of a pattern and an increasing pattern of these kind of threats, and particularly ones targeting members of congress. we've seen
4:14 am
members of congress on both sides of the aisle receive bomb threats or these swatting incidents be the targets of these swatting incidents, which is where law enforcement is essentially called to respond to a certain location. it's sort of a hoax type of way. this is just the latest in a series of these kind of incidents that's increased over the last several years and law enforcement officials tell us that these can often involve people overseas using a script of some of some kind. and for various reasons and various motives. it's not clear what was behind or who was behind this latest round of incidents, but as you mentioned, it comes one day after several of donald trump's cabinet picks and top appointees were also targeted. so law enforcement looking closely at this and at the end of the day you know, 90% or so of these incidents are ultimately baseless. there's no real threat there. but law enforcement having to respond on the off chance that one of them is legitimate, which is so important. >> andy mccabe told me last week that there were just a couple of days ago, something like 90% of them, they know are false. but the fact that they do have to continue
4:15 am
investigating them, that also takes away law enforcement manpower from other issues as well, which is a concern absolutely. >> and look, i want to go through two some of these trump appointees and trump picks who were targeted because it does speak to the level of concern that those being targeted also feel despite the fact that most of these threats are baseless. people like pete hegseth, trump's pick to lead the department of defense, people like john ratcliffe, who's going to be nominated for the cia director position. these are serious national security officials who are being targeted with this kind of hoax bomb threat. but again, as you mentioned, it does divert law enforcement resources away from, you know, whatever law enforcement or whatever holiday security planning that they had in, in the works previously. so these lawmakers and these members, politicians are equally concerned about these threats. fortunately, though, in this case, both cases recently, no evidence that there was any sort of legitimate threat at hand. >> yeah, but definitely concerning that we do see this uptick. zachary cohen, appreciate it. thank you. a

4:21 am
both of these lots come from the same company called raw farm, based in fresno california. >> and because these two lots have tested positive for bird flu, they have been voluntarily recalled. they have the lot numbers that you see on the screen here. the previous recall included a lot that had the best by date of november 27th. but now this second recall has a best by date of december 7th. and omar no illnesses have been reported so far as part of this recall. it really is out of an abundance of caution because these lots have tested positive for bird flu. but this recall is part of this overall bird flu outbreak that we have seen sweep the country, impacting dairy cattle in different states. and so far as part of that overall outbreak there have been 55 human cases ofirfl reported. but again omar, this is really testing for the virus and looking for the virus in dairy cattle products. the human cases that have been reported so far, most of them
4:22 am
were farm workers having direct impact with the cows. so they did have direct exposures. but again, this testing is continuing out of an abundance of caution i mean, are there other dairy products to worry about here? >> i mean, even including pasteurized milk, for example well, pasteurized milk, health officials say, is still safe because the pasteurization process is effective in killing harmful bacteria and viruses like the bird flu virus. >> the pasteurization process is a heating process, so that's why pasteurized milk is still safe to consume. it's really the raw milk and because there is this risk of exposure to pathogens in unpasteurized milk, some states even prohibit the sale of unpasteurized milk because of that concern. so omar again, the real concern here is the raw milk. so far, health officials say pasteurized milk is still safe to consume. >> all right, jacqueline howard, really appreciate it. thanks for being here. all right. coming up he said she said presidential version. mexico's president has a

4:28 am
agreed to shut down the border in a call between the two. earlier this week, trump posted on truth social about what he called a productive conversation with president claudia sheinbaum pardo in which she made those commitments. sheinbaum, though clarifying her comments following that truth social post. cnn steve contorno. joining us now from west palm beach florida. so a different summary of the call from mexico's president. walk us through the different takes, if you will yeah. >> both sides erika saying that it was a productive conversation and it seemed like they both walked away from it with a good sense of where the relationship is at. excuse me, but trump on social media described it very differently than she described it yesterday. let me read you what trump had to say. he claimed that she has agreed to stop migration through mexico and into the united states, effectively closing our southern border. we also talked about what can be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the united states, and also the u.s. consumption of these
4:29 am
drugs. now, when she was asked about these remarks that she had promised to close the border, she had said she said, that's not even something that she can do. listen to what she said. she said, everyone has their own way of communicating but i can assure you, i give you the certainty that we would never and we will be incapable of it. proposed that we would close the border. it has never been our approach, and of course we don't agree with that. now, the disconnect, of course, is stemming from donald trump's threats to put a 25% tariff on mexican goods if they don't do more to stop the flow of migrants and drugs across the u.s. southern border. however, what's not clear is what policy concessions trump believes he has, one where the status quo is, and also whether or not enough has been done for trump to eliminate that threat of a 25% tariff. i asked trump's transition team in the past 48 hours if that is something that he would consider after this call, and have yet to get a response, but it's one of the many uncertainties entering this
4:30 am
sort of weird phase where donald trump is conducting foreign policy and engaging in trade disputes. before he has even taken office. >> so i also want to ask you about facebook ceo mark zuckerberg, who met with donald trump at mar-a-lago over the holiday. um, what does this say or what do we know? i guess about how the president elect is planning to deal with social media companies in his second term. >> it's one of the major questions coming into this second term because he has been all over the map on social media companies. remember he was previously someone who said that tiktok should be banned in the united states, while congress took steps to do just that. and trump is not necessarily said if he would follow through on it. in fact, he was a pretty prolific user of tiktok during this past campaign, going back to the summer, he released a book where he threatened mark zuckerberg with life in prison if he were to engage in any
4:31 am
form in this election. well, now they are dining together and of course elon musk. trump has always been very critical of twitter in the past. well now that elon musk has taken over it and renamed it x, they couldn't be closer. in fact, yesterday trump and musk dined together and thanksgiving as well. so his approach to social media has been an entire 180. i will point out, though, that he has put in charge of the fcc an individual by the name of brendan carr who has been very critical of facebook and has locked them in with microsoft, apple and google and other giant tech companies that he thinks should be reined in. and so it will be interesting to see where trump's rhetoric and this new potential alliance or friendship or warming of relations with mark zuckerberg clashes potentially with the goals of some of the people he is putting in power. >> yeah, it's a good point. steve contorno appreciate it. thank you. omar. >> all right. let's continue this conversation. joining me now is christine quinn, executive committee chair of the new york state democratic
4:32 am
committee and president and ceo of wynn and may mehlman former trump white house associate counsel. good to see you both. thanks for being here. um, may i want to start with you, because we were just talking about it at least four democratic representatives from connecticut were targeted with bomb threats while they were with their families on thanksgiving comes just a day after several of president-elect trump's cabinet picks were also similarly targeted and talking before this, you said that you find the targeting of the connecticut lawmakers odd. why? why do you believe so well, i guess it's one of those things that as americans, we've almost been sensitized to bomb threats against republicans recently. >> uh, president trump was had an attempted assassination attempt twice and then half of his cabinet got bomb threats. and so i think this is one of the concerns about the increase of swatting incidents is that americans are starting to tune it out and i think that's a
4:33 am
real concern. these things need to be investigated. they need to be prosecuted because as you hear it from a lot of the trump cabinet members, um they're with their kids imagine you have your kids in the entire armed law enforcement show up. they're never going to be the same again. this is going to be life altering for them. and so, uh i guess my concern about my own reaction is at some point, we have to remember that each one of these incidents is life altering for each one of these people. and we should expect a full investigation of full law enforcement response to the swatters. and i think that that we we risk almost forgetting about it now that we live in what seems like a climate of political violence. >> and, you know, even though the vast majority of these these calls and may end up being hoaxes or fake in the end, to your point, i mean, it does result in real response from law enforcement, real potential evacuations from
4:34 am
buildings and homes and things of that nature. christine, i want to bring you in on another point. obviously, you know, we just got past thanksgiving. hope you both had a great one. but looking at donald trump's post over it, he said, happy thanksgiving to all, including to the radical left lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our country but who have miserably failed and will always fail because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad. okay, it's it's an on brand type of post from him, but how do you anticipate democrats dealing with maybe readjusting to the style of messaging that maybe we've grown accustomed to seeing from him? i think, you know i mean, it is sadly very on brand, but i don't think it's the kind of brand we want leading the country rhetorically. >> it's just not helpful. it's not kind. it's not the kind of particularly in light of all the tumult going on in the world, the kind of message we want out there. now, that said, i think if the democrats chase every tweet and respond
4:35 am
to every undignified statement by the president elect will be a dog chasing our tail, we really will waste our time. so we're going to have to pick and choose. as much as i don't like that, i don't think it's very, uh holiday ish, to put it kindly, we have to pick and choose the big fights and not run after every shiny new thing, and may along those lines, you know, after trump's recent conversation with mexico's president, claudia sheinbaum, he posted that she agreed to stop migration into the united states and close our southern border mexico's president denied that happened in her own statement about the conversation that she was having. >> and look there are times when leaders leave conversations with different impressions of what happened here but just based on this initial reporting, i mean does this initial disagreement, where does it leave you optimism wise? i guess i should say for united states, mexico relations, for when trump actually takes office i am
4:36 am
optimistic. >> i don't think that the president of mexico should be on a different page. the the people of mexico want a secure border because when they have people using mexico to come through mexico to come to the united states, they all have to pay a toll to the cartels. an enriched cartel just means more violence for the people of mexico. one of what trump really wants also is for mexico to stop facilitating fentanyl trafficking from china. china takes ships of fentanyl precursor. it's finalized in mexico, and it's shipped up through the cartels, further enriching the cartels further increasing violence in mexico. and so for the president of mexico to act like she's not on the same page with president trump, really just means that she is not on the same page with her own citizens, except for the cartel members. so i don't i hope i have optimism for how this relationship will go, because i think at the end of the day, people are sensible people but i don't think that her tweet was a sensible tweet
4:37 am
and the mexican president has made a point to draw her line in the sand and stick up for herself and her country at points, saying that a lot of the folks arrested at the border are american citizens, and that they've tried to tamp down on demand in the united states as well, which, as we know, the opioid crisis is a major issue in the united states. >> we got to go. but i want to get in this question to you, christine, on social media, because look, donald trump has had dinner with mark zuckerberg. we know he's very close with elon musk as well and elon musk's platform x has seen a drop in users since donald trump was elected, with many fleeing to places like blue sky, for example, and the congressman from silicon valley, ro khanna advised liberals to not only stay on the platform but to actively use it often. he says i don't think that the answer for progressives is to disengage. i mean, what do you make of that advice? is that something you agree with i mean, i think as progressives as democrats, we have to stay

4:40 am
this season, with four other teams canceling their games against sdsu on monday, a federal judge in colorado ruled the player was allowed to compete, a decision upheld by an appeals court the next day. neither the player in question nor san jose state have commented publicly on the player's gender. and we here at cnn aren't naming the player since she's declined to comment through a university official. erica amanda. appreciate it. thank you just ahead, a breathtaking first look inside notre dame as the cathedral reopens. more than five years after that devastating fire, and why shohei ohtani is trying to get his hands on baseball cards worth hundreds of thousands of dollars new details about how the star was ripped off by his interpreter

4:46 am
allied commander of nato. general always good to see you. when we look at this ceasefire deal, there is still a sense that despite this, what we're hearing in the last couple of days that this will hold for at least the short term. so i'm curious, what are you watching for in these coming weeks i think it will hold in the short term because both sides have an incentive to agree to it. >> the israelis have have substantially weakened hezbollah, and hezbollah is weak and does not capable of really doing what it thought it could do to israel in the past. so there's a there's a pause that's really forced by battlefield realities here that what i'm watching is what's going to happen between israel and iran, how the rhetoric goes, what the diplomatic moves might be, and planning between netanyahu netanyahu and the incoming trump administration because
4:47 am
>> now and look at just the increase in activity that we've seen between russia and ukraine, 130 drone attacks launched by russia overnight into ukraine, according to you and we're also seeing continued warnings from vladimir putin that they may strike ukraine again with these new nuclear capable ballistic missiles. >> so as we're seeing this rise in rhetoric in some ways, i was also struck by some analysis that was shared with us here at cnn. analysts telling cnn the anxious reaction to ukraine's newly granted powers is another example of the kremlin's successful strategy of forcing the west to see the conflict on russia's terms confusing each fresh attempt by russia by
4:48 am
ukraine to resist russian aggression as a major escalation. would you agree that perhaps sometimes we're looking at this the wrong way absolutely. >> and, eric, i've been saying this for two and a half years on cnn. look this is a conflict. you can't measure it in teaspoonfuls. you either go in to provide ukraine the forces and equipment it needs to win or you don't. and what's happened in two and a half years is the biden administration has carefully calibrated this. so they think russia wouldn't win, but they wouldn't let ukraine do things that would provoke russia or get the u.s. involved. look, the u.s. is involved. russia believes nato is behind this russia's threats continue against nato. some some gray zone activities like sabotaging aircraft and cutting cables and so forth are going on right now. so it's time for the west really to to to wake up on this. stop viewing the war in
4:49 am
russia's terms. give ukraine what it needs to succeed on the battlefield. if you want a diplomatic settlement, the only way you can get a successful diplomatic settlement other than surrendering yeah, and that's not a successful settlement, is to provide ukraine sufficient means and sufficient ancillary support around the periphery of russia, including against north korea. that that putin realizes he's not going to win and he's going to try to cut the best deal he can before he loses. right now, putin thinks he's winning. >> so what's your sense, then you know, to your point about the west basically needs to react differently. what is going to be the catalyst for that well, i think i think keith kellogg could could help us a lot in that respect. >> i've known keith for a long time. i'm really happy he's going to be going over there. he's followed it. i've looked at his statements. he sees it i think, in the correct way now, of course, everyone wants the
4:50 am
war to end. so when you talk about trying to do negotiations sure. i mean, most wars end that way, either with a negotiated settlement or a complete occupation. we're not going to occupy russia so that's not the way this is going to end. but it can't end successfully in negotiations without changing the balance on the battlefield. and right now, that balance is working against ukraine so it means more equipment. you know, we've stalled for two and a half years. i think we were probably behind the scenes asking russia's permission. can we give them himars? what about f-16s? will you get too mad at us if we do that? and i think, you know, that's it's been exactly the wrong way to handle it so i hope now we have a different policy. >> general wesley clark, always appreciate your insight. thank you well, new this morning for the first time, we're getting a look inside the newly restored notre dame cathedral. >> this comes as french president emmanuel macron toured the historic church cathedral, just a short time ago amid the massive
4:51 am
renovation. now, back in 2019, a huge fire heavily damaged the structure, leading to a more than $700 million restoration. cnn's senior international correspondent melissa bell joins us now. i remember being out in paris right after notre dame burned years ago. as i know you were. and even then, people were already coming together to figure out how to rebuild. years later, we're here and as i understand, you just got back from from touring it. what did you see? >> well that's right, just over five years after those flames can be seen you'll remember them are coming out of the roof of notre dame. >> the social media had spread quickly, as had the crowds afterwards around the cathedral and then for many days they'd stood and prayed and chanted in the hope that the thing would stand. and this was unclear given the extensive damage caused by the fire. today, this sneak preview of what the restoration has yielded inside the french president a short while ago inside the cathedral, omar speaking to some of the 2000 men and women who have been involved in this restoration project. the first
4:52 am
question they had to answer is what they wanted to do with it. the answer was to rebuild it exactly as it had been. and that's taken two years just to secure the cathedral. and inside what we got to see, i just got to go in while the president was speaking. you can see the detail of so much of the artwork that had been the sculptures, the gold the the detailed intricacies of the inside of the cathedral that had been slightly overshadowed or dirtied by centuries and centuries of life and worship and candle burning. and you get to see just how extraordinary the detail of notre dame is really restored, not just to the splendor of five years ago, but to the splendor of many centuries ago. the french president there, speaking to the men and women who had been involved in the restoration and really choking up as he thanked them and told them they'd been working on the construction site of the century, that five years ago, when he'd stood in front of the cathedral and said it will be rebuilt in five years. people had been in disbelief. they'd said, it can't be done. it couldn't be
4:53 am
done. and it has. and he really sort of choked up as he thanked them for all that hard work. >> and you know, as you've been talking, we've been showing some before and after images. i mean really, really breathtaking when you see them just side by side like that, i mean, before inside notre dame was fairly dark. now it seems like it's bright light filled. i mean, how stark is that? is that difference in person? is that something you noticed that's exactly right. >> you'll remember for anyone who'd been inside the cathedral before the fire, it was impressive. it was vast. it was intricate. it was beautiful. but it was very somber it was dark. the stone, the stones were fairly darkened. a lot of the the artwork, the gold, the colors of the sculptures, the the paint on the on the sides of the cathedral the artwork itself were slightly faded. there was an overall impression. omar of a very somber interior that is completely transformed when you walk in. the most striking
4:54 am
thing is just how light it is, just how colorful it is. and you can see, thanks to that light and that illumination. now, every last corner of this extraordinary cathedral, it is even more breathtaking and awe inspiring than it was before omar. >> the dawn of a new era for this historic cathedral. melissa bell, thank you for being there. thank you for being with us, erica australia becomes the first country in the world to pass a law banning social media for children under the age of 16. >> that new law is putting tech companies on alert, saying they need to tighten their security for those younger users, the ban itself now requires tech companies to take, quote reasonable steps to ensure those under 16 can't access social media. cnn's hanako montgomery has more how kids use social media is a problem. >> millions of parents face, and australia says it's now found the solution. >> world leading action to make sure social media companies meet their social
