the majority, the conservatives decided that this was something that needed to be done so this is how they ruled. andrew cuomo announced various restrictions on gatherings as a way to hold the pandemic or stop the further spread. he insists in the name of health and safety is why he did this and he reacted to the high court ruling this morning by telephone. >> it's the relevance from any practical impact because the zone that they were talking about has already been moved. it expired last week. i think this was really an opportunity for the court to express its philosophy. >> they contended that it violated freedom of religion. he talked about zones and changing, changing for religious institutions, different color

zones to change the amount of people allowed to gather. >> the governor is dealing with a situation and he said look, given the facts am going to make this change, the color scheme, but what the supreme court said is, not so fast. just because you move the categories today doesn't mean you won't change it up again tomorrow. >> civil liberties union releasing a statement, the freedom to worship is one of our most cherished fundamental rights, but it does not include a license to harm others or endanger public health. this is a complete 180 from supreme court decisions from just about five months ago when justice ruth bader ginsburg, she passed away in september. at that point they ruled that governors in nevada and california are the ones that can make the decisions on those restrictions, but now just as barrett is o on the supreme cou, already a change.

hit. >> we are not asking to open everything up 100%. who better than us to be the ones to enforce the guidelines. let us operate. let us do what we have to do to put food on the table for families. >> hundreds of thousands of people apply for unemployment this week. food banks serving meals to go to help people and here in new york city, shelters saw double the number of people coming to them for free meals. many of the people saying they had never done so before, but they've run out of savings. these shelters here today, preparing to help even more people. >> ridiculously tough times. alex hogan, thank you. >> tough times but it's still the season for shopping. while black monday and cyber monday get most of the

extending their store hours, allowing people to order from the website and pick it up. they are doing everything possible to make sure they're providing a safe and healthy alternative so customers can feel comfortable. one final thing, you can extend the discount, all those things from the holiday season. that is a smart thing business owners do. >> the best thing we can do to help our businesses during these challenging times of course is to purchase their goods and services, but should we order early? be patient. we can't expect them to have big time operations. if you want to order five gifts from this one small business online, how else can we help them? >> i also want to say, if you have the opportunity to order

out more, take advantage. i am talking to you from philadelphia and our restaurants are shut down. no more indoor dining. we need the help. another thing to consider with people you frequent. a lot of them offer gift cards. even if they're not buying something right now, they get the cash up front. of course you get the gift card, use it another time. those are, just two things you can do to support your small businesses. very important thing to do. >> really great advice and also if you're going to order from your local restaurant, make sure you tip. those people are working really hard to be there for you. >> i forgot to mention that. the biggest people that are hurt is not just the business owners during this pandemic, it's the workers and you know that. a lot of the workers, they're struggling through all of us.

starting something else. if you have an idea to start up, go to amazon or at sea, ebay. not as difficult to do as you think, it takes effort but if you think you can do it, i think you should. people have some extra savings from not spending a lot of mon money. if you have savings, now's a good time to invest. it doesn't have to replace your day job. it could be a side gig or something else you could do. people are doing it. you should take that as consideration. and not the only one starting up a new business. it's a good time. >> we heard you. it's always a pleasure. happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. >> of course this holiday is about giving thanks to those around us and those who can't be close because they're serving to

keep us safe. let's pause and appreciate to recognize the men and women serving our country across the globe. president trump is trying to bring hundreds of thousands of them home, but many remain overseas this thanksgiving. jennifer griffin is live from the pentagon with more on that. >> on any given day you can find 300,000 u.s. troops deployed overseas. acting defense secretary chris miller, a former green beret blue overseas and had thanksgiving dinner, home to the u.s. navy fleet. the u.s. is reducing its presence in afghanistan by half, but 2500 will remain after january 15th. done from a high since 9/11 of 100,000 u.s. troops. the u.s. has 800 military bases and more than 70 countries, britain, france and russia by contrast have 30 combined. a growing sense of drone bases

>> what does this cost the u.s. taxpayer? they pay an average of 10-40000 more per year to station in memory of the military abroad than in the united states. that's not the real cost. we give extra thanks for those troops overseas and their families for all they sacrifice to keep americans safe. >> absolutely. and thanks to you. >> thank you. >> i share all of those sentiments. president trump is said to make a video call to members of the military this thanksgiving. more on that as we get it. the coronavirus colliding with holiday travel, how to keep your family safe as the case numbers continue to go up. ♪ the hand models to show off the ease of comparing rates with progressive's home quote explorer. international hand model jon-jon gets personal.

to question michael flynn over those conversations he had with the russian ambassador. >> i thought you asked me whether or not i had anything to do with him being prosecuted. i'm sorry. i was aware that they asked for an investigation, but that's all i know about it. >> the first of many during president trump's final weeks in office. he is also believed to be pardon for paul manafort, potentially roger stone. and congressman matt gaetz went so far as to say that he believes president trump should be pardoning everyone from himself all the way to joe exotic, the tiger king. that would truly be peak 2020. >> i'm all for joe exotic. what can i say. tiger king rules in my house. thank you for that update there from the white house. >> president trump's decision to

pardon michael flynn is getting a thumbs up from "the wall street journal," "finally in and wait is grateful case of politicized prosecution. let's bring in former u.s. attorney guy lewis. happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving to you guys as well. >> the justice department had moved to dismiss this case, why did they do that. >> the attorney general had ordered a review of the case and during the course of that revi review, independent professionals at the justice department, it became apparent that he had been targeted. , a discovery that should have been turned over, it would send other kinds of information that would have been helpful. and me personally, when i saw the fbi notes that had not been turned over, but the note that said, "what do you want us to

do?" do you want us to live so we can fire him or prosecute him? that reeked of a set up and i didn't like it. >> he did plead guilty twice before changing his mind. >> that's a good point. people need to know, in my experience, 20 plus years defending people and 15 plus years as a prosecutor, people plead guilty for a matter of reasons. they want to end the case because it's too costly. there is a lot of reasons and i think the review process was appropriate. at dismissal was appropriate. >> as far as the pardon goes, nancy pelosi didn't like it very much. she calls it an act of corruption and a brazen abuse of

power. i want you to listen to what adam schiff said on another network earlier. >> the president pardons him and wants to betray him as a hero. heroes don't lie to the fbi. it's a body blow to our national security and the rule of law. i think it makes a mockery of our democracy. >> a body blow to the rule of law. what do you say to that? >> i think he's a little over the top. this is a guy who for years, trump, no pun intended, some kind of russian conspiracy that turned out to be void of evidence. clearly with speaker pelosi it's a partisan issue. if they don't like this pardon, they better strap themselves in. i think you are right. the next 30 days, you are going to see a bunch of these come out

of the white house, just like past presidents, obama included. >> really interested to see who is next. we have another topic, overturning on houses of worship. obviously a win for the catholic diocese in new york city, but what about the rest of the country? >> anybody who thinks the supreme court nomination doesn't matter, they need to check the box on this one. justice amy coney barrett absolutely made a difference. your point is well taken. it was unusual last night that they entered this order at midnight i believe. and then that was on the heels of yesterday, to other states, new jersey issued a bunch of restriction and california. both of those jurisdictions,

churches, synagogues filed the motions, emergency motions with the supreme court to try and overturn those bands as well. there's going to be more on the subject in the next few days. >> quickly, does this mean they can pack them in now to churches and synagogues? >> i don't think necessarily. they need to be careful. in the case of where you have, new york, he said, you can only have ten people in the synagogue or church, that didn't seem to make sense to me. they need to make common sense, just like he said for example, he issued a blistering opinion, just really giving it back to him saying. >> we have to leave it there. >> you can't go to church. >> we appreciate your insight.

13 million cases and so far more than 262,000 americans have been killed by covid-19. health experts fear thanksgiving gatherings may cause a surge, but despite the warnings they report it screened more than 1 million people just yesterday. most flyers in one day since march. new york city physician and fox news contributor. do you have any concerns about gatherings today or travel this weekend? >> happy thanksgiving to you and everyone watching. even though it is thanksgiving, we are in the midst of a pandemic, so were never short on news. there is more people traveling then any time during the pandemic, but we have to remember it's less than half then normal years, so i think the majority are staying home, there are limiting their gatherings, but families have

been able to make decisions that's best for them. it's watchful waiting, there is a lag, so in 2-3 weeks we will know how say people were over thanksgiving and i only can hope they have limited the amount of indoor congregating with different households because i would hate to see a further increase before thanksgiving. over 90,000 americans hospitalized. that is far more than we had in the early spring where we didn't even reach 60,000. there are certain regions that are struggling right now with the pandemic. it's important for us to stay as close to home as possible and try to limit that travel. >> absolutely. and you know very well the cdc is expected to shorten the quarantine time from the current 14 days, possibly 27. do you think this is a good idea?

>> they alluded to this earlier this week and i think they should have been doing this earlier. the 14 day recommendation where someone had a positive contact, that i came back at the time we are testing was not readily available. unfortunately a lot of people cannot take 14 days off. if you want people to be open, honest and transparent, we need to do what we can to make sure they're not having to do quarantine if they're not infected. the big problem is 47% of people who are infected and contagious will be asymptomatic. we need to discern between the a nomadic people and people who aren't infected at all and who are having to quarantine and stay home when they didn't need to. lessening it to 7-10 days is a good idea, but it has to be paired with a negative test. for me to feel comfortable any people out again

>> i want to move on because everyone is very on edge about this. astrazeneca announced its vaccine a couple of days ago touting 95% of effectiveness, however when half of their volunteers were given half doses of the vaccine, that went down to 62%. they say the half dose regiment was the result of a manufacturing error. does this concern you? should this cause concern for americans? >> i'm going to change those numbers. first of all, astrazeneca came out with their numbers saying that there were two arms in this trial and it was an error. people were supposed to get two injections, but 2,000 people only received half a dose of the vaccine and then a full dose

later on. interestingly, this error, those 2,000 people were the ones who showed a 90% efficacy against covid-19. the people who receive the full dose, that was much lower, 62%. scientists and researchers were scratching their head, the half dose provided a higher efficacy? they had to really go back, they have to look at this and now they're saying, i think were going to have to start a new trial to figure out if it wasn't a fluke, it's the half dose followed by the full dose that provides better efficacy. astrazeneca is working on their data. all eyes are on madrona and pfizer because they're likely going to have that approval by the end of 2020 and 20 millin americans will be vaccinated with the technology. there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

it will take months till we see that, but it's good news. >> that is very encouraging news. happy thanksgiving. thank you. >> you as well. >> and then there is holiday hypocrisy. several democratic leaders break their own guidelines for thanksgiving. who is the latest to apologize? why president-elect joe biden says giving away holiday traditions this year is patriotic. >> this year we are asking americans to forgo so many of the traditions that were long made in this holiday, which made it so special. ♪ ♪

never get there by pounding the wedges in deeper. we have to build bridges. >> "the wall street journal" had a fascinating editorial today about the subject of hypocrisy. here's a quote. people in blue states, as well as the states that made donald trump a one-term president have been standing in line or three or four hours before traveling. these people are perfectly aware that infection rates are rising and to the prevention cautions against celebrating the holiday with people outside your household. the decisions to buck public health warnings, trust their common sense and spend thanksgiving with loved ones is a welcomed indication that people may be tiring of this condescension. >> that's a very accurate description for a lot of people that i know. the interesting thing is, people have the right intentions and we

can to get there. we can be responsible and we can have that grace and we can make sure we are doing the things that will help us get through. the one thing we know about this virus is that it is novel, it has not played out the way anything else has. we will have to make adjustments. it is why leaders have to lead. so many of these leaders are happy when things are going well and they have good press and no one's challenging their decision. the real test, what do you do when it's tough? we elect people to lead when times are hard, not when things are going well. that is what we have to expect out of every leader, at every level regardless of persuasion. we have to expect more out of our lever leaders. the more weary the nation

becomes, the less likely we are to rally to do the right things. >> we certainly have a right to expect them to follow the rules if they make them. happy thanksgiving to you. >> thank you. >> holiday shopping will look different this year as stores adapt to the coronavirus pandemic. teresa from fox five in new york city explains. >> this is going to have a huge impact. it's going to help stores, keep people employed. >> 'tis the season to start spending. this year's holiday season is looking different. for starters, last friday which was traditionally one of the biggest days of the year is positioned to be another friday as a shoppers stat up stores for fear of covid. some analysts think we could see unprecedented numbers this holiday season. a consumer and money-saving expert. >> over 75% of consumers are

streets of new york. >> let's begin there with alex hogan, reporting live from new york city. >> happy thanksgiving. a big celebration here on the streets of new york city is not taking place. there would have been a parade marching down sixth avenue here, but people were encouraged to watch from home. the streets have been reopened by being blocked. the parade was much shorter with people watching from home, even new yorkers, another step to get people to stay home as cases of covid-19 skyrocket. more than 262,000 deaths this year so far. "the wall street journal" reporting 100,000 died at long-term care facilities. as of tuesday a new record, 18,000 were hospitalized. sparking new ways of restrictions from governors, curfews, closing businesses and

limiting gatherings. as a result of long-standing financial burden, shelters and food banks. the ceo of the mission in new york says it's been a busy year since the start of the pandemic, helping many people for the very first time. >> and twice the number of people we were used to serving. many of those folks had just lost their job. they had just been furloughed. they were standing in a meal line for the first time, along with people experiencing homelessness. >> many people say they're ready for a busy day, trying to get people those thanksgiving meals safely. >> i know a lot of laborers are telling people not to travel and aaa says 50 million people are hitting the roads anyway, only 10% less than last year. >> that is true. millions of people hit the road despite the cdc begging people to stay home.

most people did hit the road by a car, but many people made their way to the airports yesterday with the busiest day at an airport in the u.s. since the pandemic began, since friday we have seen 1 million people at the airport every single day. while that is done 60% from last year, travelers will need to keep in mind the strict regulation when they return. >> if anybody is coming from another state, they are coming from a higher infection rate place. and they posed by definition more of a threat. >> here in new york the regulation is if you're coming out of state you need to show a negative test and then four days later you need to get tested again, travelers will need to keep in mind where they return to and what they need to do. >> strange year.

alex, thank you. >> of course the pandemic has slammed the restaurant industry, forcing many to close and in some areas across the country, new restrictions are making it harder for them to survive. let's bring in robert st. john, independent restaurant coalition. he owns several restaurants and has been to the business for 4 decades. getting right to the point, how difficult is it? >> happy thanksgiving. thanks for having me on. in the season of gratitude and thanks, i'm going to tell you, thanks to what you have done, your family, his late father, all the cousins and what they've meant to the music industry. it's things like that that have helped us get through these times. the restaurant industry is in crisis right now. no other industry has been hit

as hard as the restaurant industry has been hit. there are 11 million independent restaurants across the country. 500,000, 11 million employees and another 500,000 employees, farmers, other jobs in the restaurant business. it's devastating right now. >> it's really is. what would you like to say to congress? >> what i want to tell you is that i've been in mississippi, my home state senator, he's introduced a bill that's called the restaurants act, it's sitting in the senate right now. it is bipartisan support. there on the democratic side. senator schumer, kamala harris, all of those people have cosigned. half of the senate has signed it.

it will save the restaurant industry. it needs to be passed. here's the thing, ppe was good, but only 8% went to restaurants and bars. we account for 25% of the nation's jobs. ppe was a 24 week fix, 18th month problem. every once ppe has run out and restaurants are closing. now you have a weather coming in. some of my friends in colorado who were doing great with outdoor dying, it's snowing there now >> and their restrictions and outlay, they report the restaurants have to close at 10:00 p.m., the ones who were able to open an adult. i want to jump in because i heard you loud and clear that you want congress to pass something. what i want to do right now is mention your website.

i understand your website is save restaurants.com. viewers can go there and almost speak directly to congress. let them know they stand with you and something needs to get done now. yes? >> absolutely. the house has passed the bill. it's in the senate. it has bipartisan support. we can get this done. you can save restaurants. winter is coming and winter is here for the restaurant business and it's going to be rough. we employ over 1 million single moms. 60 million come from a marginalized community. i grew up with a single mom. something has to be done. we are talking about 11 million workers in america. 2.4% unemployment can be improved right now. >> robert st. john, sorry to cut you off. i want to tell you, thank you for the kind words you said

about my family. uncle aaron is watching. he heard you. thank you for what you do you and happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. >> fallout from a supreme court decision, blocking limits on houses of worship, ruling governor cuomo's actions violated the first amendment protection for freedom of religion. the chief justice roberts didn't see it that way, siding with the liberal minority, saying it's a significant matter to override determinations made by public health officials saying what is necessary for public safety in the midst of a deadly pandemic. live at the justice department with more on this. be a good afternoon. just as facts, residents of new york, but other states are watching. it has major implications that will continue for decades to come, long after covid-19 is

gone and in the history books. the new justice, amy coney barrett has been on for a month. she is siding with the conservatives, specifically in this case. a 5-4 ruling. chief justice john roberts, known to be a devout catholic sided with the liberal minority on this decision. the decision in favor of those who want to exercise religious freedom during the middle of this deadly pandemic. governor cuomo announced various restrictions on gatherings as a way to a halt, maybe not totally hold, but slow down further spread. two religious groups, a jewish and christian groups sued, they determined that it violated the freedom of religious clause of the first amendment to the u.s. constitution. he reacted a few hours ago to the news from the supreme court. listen. >> the supreme court made a

ruling. the supreme court ruling on the religious gatherings is more illustrative of the supreme court than anything el else. >> not throwing a lot of weight to that ruling. it significant that this is a 180 from earlier rulings that allowed governors and nevada and california go to restrict attendance at different institutions. the difference is that just as ruth bader ginsburg was sitting on the high court and she ruled in favor of allowing those governors to do that based on health and science. no question, a win for religious freedom today. i want to read this, interesting from th alc you, it does not include a license to harm others or endanger life. we will see if they go to the supreme court. >> thank you for that clarification.

>> president trump granting a full pardon to his national security advisor michael flynn, ending a year's worth long legal battle. he pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his conversations with the russian ambassador, but the justice department later tried to drop the charges. kristin fisher reporting live on the story. >> michael flynn's family says they're very grateful for this thanksgiving for president trump's pardon. they say it has removed the heavy burden of justice from his shoulders. the white house press secretary put out a statement last night echoing that, "they achieve the objective, bringing two and the pursuit of an innocent man. even the interview did not think he was lying. multiple investigations produced evidence establishing that he was a victim of partisan government officials in a coordinated attempt to subvert

the election of 2016." michael flynn pleaded guilty twice for lying to the fbi. one of the first major victories for robert mueller. a year ago he tried to withdraw the plea. his attorneys argued that peter strzok set up a perjury trap, he called it ludicrous, and then you had the attorney general bill barr trying to get that case dismissed. that request was pending one president trump ran there yesterday afternoon. nancy pelosi, calling it act of grave corruption and a brazen abuse of power. she went on to say that their proof that president trump plans to use his final days in office to undermine the rule of law. there is a lot of speculation that this may be the first of many pardons to come between now and january 20th. a lot of talk about paul manafort being pardoned and

perhaps roger stone as well, but definitely too soon to say. one more thing, and in our president trump is going to take part of a videoconference. this time last year he had just gotten back from that surprise trip. this year travels much more difficult, but he is going to be taking part of a videoconference. his first thanksgiving at the white house no less. >> sounds good. happy thanksgiving to you and your family. take care. >> i remember that surprise trip. we are giving thanks to those who put their lives on the line. many of our troops can't be home. a live report from the pentagon coming up. we will head to georgia where two runoffs will determine the balance of power and republicans are pulling out all the stops because the stakes are so high. >> we cannot let them take georgia because we are going to stay focused on freedom.

>> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is calling on his republicans to bat the candidates facing runoff in georgia. the tight races will determine the balance of power in the senate come january. steve harrigan has the latest from atlanta. >> we have seen a stream of high profile politicians coming to georgia, campaigning for each of those candidates, they are set for the race. these two races go determine control of the senate. we've seen more than

$270 million spent on tv ads, most of them sharply negative attack ads. one man on the receiving end is the democrat, accused of being too radical for georgia and anti-american. he is responding by saying his rise to public housing could only happen in america. >> i went to projects and now i'm running the united states senate against the wealthiest member of congress, whose family owns a company that literally owns the new york stock exchange. i don't say that as a figure of speech or hyperbole. they owned the new york stock exchange. only in america is that possib possible. >> here in georgia the recount continues between president trump and joe biden, 12,000 votes, under half a

national finance committee leadership team. thank you for being with us on this holiday. let's start with you. "the wall street journal" says the g.o.p. has a new mantra, failure is not an option. he said we are the last line of defense. how critical is this? >> that is absolutely the case. we do not need america to change the way they will do it. this election is the last line to start the green new deal, total repeal of the tax cut. more regulations, more shutdowns of business. joe biden promises a dark coming of winter. he will deliver on that promise. we can't let that happen. david perdue, they are in line with the business, the community, the military community and that is why their reelection is so important. not just in georgia, but

nationally. >> this is equally important to the democrats if they want to accomplish their agenda. >> absolutely. jack is a great guy, but what he said simply isn't true. even if we win those seats and i expect us to do so, will be at 50 seats in the u.s. senate and there is no way a senate will do any of those policy proposals that he just outlined. their convenient talking points who runs the new york stock exchange, david perdue who may have engaged in questionable stock trading. georgians are moderate and so are our candidates down there. joe biden is much more moderate than many on the left. we feel good about that. not at all worried about these proclamations of doom. >> absolutely. >> they are coming in.

george soros is putting money. they are candidates who do not support the second amendment. they have not come out and announced defunding of the police. he was asked specifically about that and he will not answer the questions. don't say there moderate. >> you are not answering because you don't want to alienate your base. the same thing happened with vice president biden who does not want to pack the court and neither do these people. >> i want to get to the money issue that you brought up. the estimates right now for spending on this race, the total $272.2 million that includes 102.5 million you see there for ads or the democrats and 168.5 million for the republicans. i just read something that suggested he spend and reach a billion dollars on this one

race. is that necessary? >> that is a lot of money. he's right about that. at some point it becomes diminishing returns. these folks have been saturated already. a race that's been recounted three times. by the narrowest of margins, letty of ads. i don't think that will make the difference. the contrast between the candidates. beco can you keep this red state red? >> we can do it. we have the ground. david perdue, their in line with georgia values. they stand up for the military and families. they are against all the left-wing philosophies of aoc, bernie sanders and larry warno warnock. kelly and david are going to stop socialism in america. this is a georgia race, but it's

"black people have been given fair consideration, but there's only one black woman so far. i want to see where the process leads to. so far it's not good." people ask like democrats do not do well and rural communities and this is one of the reasons. he is promoting marcia fudge a democrat from ohio. a very fierce advocate for food stamp programs to become the agriculture secretary. he is advocating for jacksonville mayor alvin brown to lead urban development and he's promoting california's attorney general, assuming that the very same post at the federal level. there are some concerns about whether or not this team will include a enough project progressives. an official said to me, what you think about it, were doing pretty well.

racial and gender equity stuff and not, i'm not saying they're not qualified, but i think americans want a color-blind society and the idea that people should be picked because of the gender of them or the color of their skin is not the best idea. donald trump had some incredible high level people who served him and his cabinet who were black or hispanic who did an amazing job. who can get this economy back? we have a lot of work to do, and this is an amazing recovery. nobody expected we would be where we are. let's not forget, nobody thought we could have a vaccine and less than a year. that's never happened before in a world history! never! we have a vaccine that's going to be out in january and it's going to save millions of lives. >> i want to switch topics to the climate agenda. he wrote an op-ed on fox news

titled, "v6 wants us to rejoin the paris climate accord, it puts america less." i think we know where you stand on this. >> one of the best things donald trump did when he came into office, and we talk to them about this, the climate change, the paris climate change treaty is a joke. the single biggest floater in the world by far. it is china. it doesn't require china to do anything. meanwhile we have to shut down our coal plants, oil and gas facilities that employ millions of workers. we have to use expensive energy while china and india and russia left behind our backs. i don't think it's a want to make wise thing to do. as i said this week to our subscribers, this doesn't put america first, it puts america last. american workers are the ones who will have to lose their jobs

♪ >> president trump set to speak to our nation's heroes right now as we give thanks to our troops for their service this holiday season. hello, everyone, and welcome to another hour of "america's newest headquarters," happy thanksgiving. >> i'm rick leventhal. americans including the president celebrating thanksgiving a lot differently this year as covid spreads across the country last year president trump traveled to afghanistan to thank our troops in person. this year he is scheduled to speak with members of the military virtually. let's begin with kristin fisher

who is actually live at the white house. >> hey, rick. president trump just got back to the white house after spending the afternoon at his golf club in virginia and any minute now he's going to be taking part in the videoconference to u.s. troops abroad that you were just talking about and this is really the 2020 version of what he was able to do last year when he made that surprise trip to afghanistan to serve thanksgiving dinner to u.s. troops and the other thing that's really notable about this right now is that, you know, this is the first thanksgiving dinner that president trump is going to eat here at the white house, every other year he has done that down at mar-a-lago in florida so this'll be the first time he spends thanksgiving here at the white house, really something like all americans are dealing with this year, a very different type of thanksgiving. rick? >> in the president part in his

former national security advisor michael flynn, are we expecting more pardons? >> it is certainly a possibility, a very strong possibility, he suggested the other day on twitter that he thinks president trump should be pardoning himself, obviously something that's ever happened before, pardoning somebody like joe exotic, the tiger cane, stranger things have happened in 2020 but as far michael flynn, we finally heard from him this morning on twitter and just about an hour ago he put out a statement thanking president trump for granting him this whole part in yesterday afternoon, michael flynn said "never again should any family or individual be so viciously targeted, maligned, smeared and threatened. such has been the experience of my family and i. president trump has long claimed that his successor joe biden had a hand in flynn's downfall. here's how the president-elect explained it in an interview

back in may of this year. >> what did you know about those moves to investigate michael flynn? was there anything improper down? >> i know nothing about the moves to investigate michael flynn. >> you say you didn't know anything about it but you were reported to be at a january 5th 2017 meeting where you want the president were briefed on the fbi's plan to question michael flynn over those conversations he had with the russian ambassador. >> i thought you asked me whether or not i had anything to do with him being prosecuted. i'm sorry. i was aware that there was, and asked for an investigation but that's all i know about it and i don't think anything else. >> other democrats say that the flynn pardon is an abuse of power and an act of corruption, they know that michael flynn lied to the fbi twice, but the bottom line is that they are also quite concerned that president trump may also try to pardon more people, perhaps he

will like paul manafort and roger stone among others between now and inauguration day. >> rick? >> a major win for religious freedom, supreme court blocking andrew cuomo's restrictions, an orthodox jewish group in the catholic diocese of brooklyn had sued the new supreme court justice played in assigning role. live on this from the justice department. dave? >> it's really incredible, just as amy coney barrett has only been a justice of the u.s. supreme court for a little over a month, she is already making a name for herself in a case that's going to have implications for many years, well beyond covid-19. she was swing vote in this case, chief justice john roberts, a devout catholic sided with the liberal minority in this case. the majority though, the

conservatives road import, "on gmac not only is there no evidence that the applicants have contributed to the spread of covid-19 but there are many other less restrictive rules that could be adopted that minimize the risk to those attending religious services. even a pandemic the constitution cannot be put away and forgotten." new york governor andrew cuomo announced restrictions on gatherings as a way to stop further spread of covid-19. two religious groups sued. the majority contended that the restrictions violated the freedom of religion because in the first amendment. >> i don't mean little violations. you are only supposed to have 50. they had 55. i am talking about, you're only supposed to have 50 outdoors, they had 1,000. >> governor cuomo talking about

some of those religious groups gathering earlier this summer, the governor recently changed the color coding of those religious institutions, and changing the amount of people allowed together. >> the governor as obviously dealing with a fluid situation and he said, given the facts on the ground, i'm going to make this change because it is the color scheme for the categorization but what the supreme court said is "not so fast. just because you moved the categories today doesn't mean that you won't change it up again tomorrow." >> 25 states currently have similar cases appealing on a state and federal level, california, louisiana and new jersey all have similar cases as new york did before the supreme court and to be clear as i said in the last hour, this affects new york residents from the supreme court but other states certainly taking notice on this news today because this could go nationwide to all 50 states. >> for sure, david, thank you

for that. >> rick, another politician having to explain away a parent covid hypocrisy. denver's democratic mayor flew to mississippi after telling folks in denver to avoid travel. the mayor apologized and said his decision to travel was "rightly scrutinized as a public official." restrictions ramped up from coast-to-coast as cases arise, that includes los angeles county and california where a ban on outdoor dining is in effect but is not the only move officials have made. christina coleman is live in los angeles with more. happy thanksgiving, christina. >> happy thanksgiving, arthu ths definitely a health and economic crisis this holiday season, thousands of workers in the food industry are worried that they could lose their jobs here in l.a. county because of the new v-8 restrictions and changes. in l.a. superior court judge

rejected a plea by the california restaurant association to block the new outdoor dining bands. the judge said the association did not show "solid evidence that the ban was inappropriate" however he is open to hearing any new evidence. restaurant owners continue to struggle to stay in business. the los angeles economic development corporation predict approximately 700,000 jobs in the food industry will be lost in this shut down. >> we know that it will extend through new year's. and it will probably put me out of business. forever. >> this restaurant has been in our family for 65 years and how does l.a. expect us to survive when they've taken away our ability to make money after we've invested so much money also playing the game how they want it played. they change the rules constant constantly.

>> as for travelers, people traveling to the city of los angeles from another state or county are now required to fill out an online form acknowledging california's recommended 14 day quarantine upon arrival. there are signs reminding them to do so at the airport and a month-long overnight curfew is also in place for most of california. nonessential work and gatherings are not allowed from 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m., that is set to last for about a month so quiet of these changes to covid restrictions here in california as this day sees a surge in affections as most states are across the nation. >> so typical for those restaurant owners, thank you. >> for more on this, let's bring in a fox news contributor and media and politics columnist for the hill and a pretty smart guy. joe, so many examples of do is i say, not as i do among our

elected officials, i'm not sure we have time for all of them but i want you to share some of your favorites. >> thank you, rick. it's finite time, its cable news, i wish we had the whole hour. are there any leaders left that aren't sanctimonious hypocrites, we can run through the list. new york governor andrew cuomo, democrat, was going to have his 89-year-old mother travel to see him on thanksgiving, that flies in the face of his own state guidelines and the cdc. gavin newsom, democratic governor, california recently had dinner indoors at a restaurant with 12 people without masks. 12 people from six different households and now you see those reports of outdoor dining being banned in some parts of california, nancy pelosi earlier this year go to a hair salon in san francisco when you're not supposed to have indoor appointments but sure enough she went and later said that the salon owner set her up like a jet jedi mind trick was used to get her in there. and most recently denver's mayor

in terms of lying to mississippi from denver on thanksgiving. flying in the face of his essential travel guidelines. american see this and say okay, it's rules for the, not for me, i played by your rules for a long time. if you're not going to play by them i'm not going to do it anymore either and as a result you could see some people get sick because we are seeing cases up around 200,000 a day but our leaders have done nothing in terms of leading by example in that regard. >> that's the key point here is how can they expect people to follow the rules when they are not following them themselves? >> that's exactly right and again, it's a shame because what if we have recently, more than 2,200 deaths from covid, the highest number since may but if you're going to tell people, stay home, shelter in place, only go out if you have to and then you see the other side of it in terms of the lori lightfoot for instance in chicago, the mayor they are celebrating after the race was called by news organizations for

joe biden, thousands in the streets not practicing social distancing and you hear the excuse, well, they were marrying masks. when you have three, 4,000 people within 6 inches of each other forget 6 feet, the mask thing kind of becomes moot at that point. >> along those lines i want to get to the supreme court ruling that overturned the new york governor cuomo's limits on churches and synagogues. i want to read this quote from justice neil gorsuch. "it is past time to make plain that while the pandemic poses many great challenges, there is no world in which the constitution tolerates color-coded executive edicts that reopen liquor stores and bike shops but shutter churches, synagogues, and mosques goes well. your thoughts on the decision? >> that's exactly right, the mass protests over the summer or the celebrations over mr. biden's win, none of that was condemned and what can be open and what cannot be open, there was one quote that seems to be making the rounds on social media that really is resonating right now as far as people cheering this decision.

"even in a pandemic, the constitution cannot be put away and forgotten." that's exactly right and again, this involves obviously a case in new york in governor cuomo, i am old enough to remember over the summer where the governor traveled to georgia for a conference and he is seen at this conference not wearing a mask hugging another attendee who was wearing a mask and this is the person that wants to shut down religious services indoors or at least limit them again. rules for the you, not for me. >> joe, quickly it sounds like you think america is quickly running out of patience. >> look, we've been going through this eight or nine months now and in may and april everybody played by the rules, rick, but getting back to that supreme court ruling, this really crystallizes the big difference in the court. amy coney barrett was the deciding factor here in that 5-4 vote, john roberts getting a ton

of criticism on social media for siding with the liberal side but similar cases came up earlier this year around religious services in the pandemic and it went 5-4 the other way because obviously you had justice ruth bader ginsburg who was part of the court and now amy coney barrett really showing that president trump getting her in there before the election is making a big difference in key decisions here, rick. happy thanksgiving, by the way. i've got to eat now. >> thank you, same to you, same to you. >> millions of americans are on the move this week, we are going to talk to a doctor about thanksgiving travel, plus a possible timeline for a coronavirus vaccine. ♪ speak of the vaccine is going to begin to be rolled out probably by the end of the second week in december, initially in a hierarchy away. ♪ is often unseen. because the pain you're feeling could be a sign of irreversible joint damage.

recommends trying to avoid unnecessary travel because when you travel you increase your risk of picking up the virus and spreading it so we have a lot of travelers and a lot of students, college students flying home. many people, many students especially young people are asymptomatic so they may be spreading it and bringing it home to their families and loved ones unknowingly so that's why the cdc recommends avoiding unnecessary travel because as it is right now, we already have a spike and a surge in the number of cases, massive increase in the number of patients so i am concerned that after thanksgiving, the next two or three weeks we may have another post-holiday surge and that's of a concern because certain parts of the country were already strained when the hospital systems, hospitals, doctors, nurses, x-ray tax, they are being stretched thin. we are seeing in idaho the 30% positivity rate, in illinois, in texas they've had to deploy the military to help them manage the morgue joe the increased number

of deaths though we are certainy seeing a spike and that's why it's so important to try to follow the cdc guidelines as best as we can. >> yeah, i feel so horrible for all of our dedicated doctors and nurses and all the front liners who are going to do their jobs, they put their own lives at risk and they have to stay away from their families and i just feel like it's something, the least we can do to try to stay safe and follow the rules. listen, and how bad could it get? you mentioned that post-thanksgiving surge, how bad could that get? >> i am concerned, if we don't engage in social distancing, wearing our masks, keeping our hands washed and clean and getting tested if you feel you are exposed, we may see a significant increase to the point where it overwhelms and overburdened the hospital system and that is when we get into trouble because if you overwhelm the hospitals are not going to be able to get the care that you need in a timely manner so if we don't make changes now we are on track it to have the cdc

projects, 321,000 deaths by december 21st. so if we don't make changes now, if we really don't remain diligent in our behaviors, those numbers are going to spike up even more so and that is of concern to me. >> yeah and the cdc director dr. redfield discussed hope for a vaccine with dana perino, let's listen to that. >> the vaccine is going to be rolled out probably by the end of the second week of december. and initially in a hierarchy way for nursing home residents and some combination of health care providers and individuals at high risk for a poor outcome and those decisions are in the process of being finalized as we speak. i do think we will have about 40 million doses of vaccine before the end of the firs firsf the year, that's enough to vaccinate 20 million people but it will continue through january and february and hopefully by march we will start to see

vaccine available for the general public. >> how encouraged are you about vaccines coming to the market and can we trust them? will they be safe? >> i am super excited and absolutely, yes, they will be safe then we can trust them and that's why i urge americans and my patients, please hang in there, it's already been almost a year, we are at the home stretch and in just a matter of weeks we are going to have a vaccine on the market, it's going to be fda approved and it's already been shown to have over 90% efficacy so once they finalize the data, december 10th it's going to be finalized, hopefully december 11th it will be distributed to americans in texas and tennessee, a few states pfizer has chosen to initially distribute, i am very excited about it. this is what's going to help us lean more towards herd immunity by march or april next year, the

of ballots requested, what is the significance of that? >> you know, in the regular election, 96,000 absentee ballots counted but not recorded and so on thanksgiving day, we are obviously thankful to god for the providence in this country, everyone is created in god's image in certain inalienable rights but those rights are embedded in the constitution and especially important for minorities. and so those without access to big media or big tax, et cetera, at the end of the day we need to make sure that all votes are certified under law and that may take a while, so both sides need to be very vocal and loud to ensure that we have trust in our system going forward, that's the most important thing we can do for our country. and it should be open, transparent, make sure every vote, every envelope that comes in is certified in accordance

with state law and georgia obviously matters in a huge way, will determine whether we have a unified government under the democrats with an executive and the legislative and they will be able to run through everything so the stakes couldn't be higher. >> the number of ballots and the likelihood that perhaps more democrat that favors democrats in this race? >> i think so. higher on the republican side with the mail and boat. >> congressman, hang on, one second. go ahead. >> too many david's. it's good to be with you, happy thanksgiving. look, i think this thing is uncertain, when you have a number of ballot requests that would indicate traditionally that democrats have the advantage in terms of higher turnout but we do not live in traditional times. i agree with what the other david said, the truth is that this thing is razor-thin, biden

won the state by two tenths of 1%, the latest poll is up by one and the other race tied so this thing is going to be razor-thin, whether president trump gets down there to campaign as a variable we don't know about. i think it's likely that these things get split, we will see what happens. >> since you both have the same name we will identify the congressman as the next questi question. what about the president, will he go down there and how important woody beta this race? these two races. >> i hope so, our party is torn, we've got a debate between the establishment and the populace wings, i was in the populace wing before it was cool. it's risky but if mcconnell end of the house leader don't come out strong backing our president, an issue i raised that every vote is to be

certified in cared for, we need mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy to be loud and clear that they are on board ensuring that outcome and if trump goes down there i think that's the winner, if he goes down and trump voters show up that's the key and we will win. >> quickly, david, do you think that is the key? if the president comes, your candidates might be in trouble? >> i think if the president goes it's probably a plus but there's a lot of uncertainty, reportedly he is uninterested in going down and not really looking like a winner now, he's kind of looking isolated so i think the variables are very unclear now and i'm guessing these races get split, that will be how i predict it. >> all right, david, two davids, happy thanksgiving to you both. >> god bless. >> president-elect joe biden telling americans it's their patriotic duty to forgo some thanksgiving traditions.

we all have to struggle through this but i do really think that being smart and considerate is the way we get out of this. >> you know, we talk about personal freedoms, you look at the other person who is not following the rules and you kind of thing, which relative would you like to sacrifice? >> i don't disagree with that but i also think that we have a point where we have to avoid people that are not wearing masks, we have a choice to do that ourselves, we do that in supermarkets and grocery stores and you would just ask them to be considerate, that's all. >> yeah. congressman, that's very good messaging here for this thanksgiving. happy thanksgiving to you and to your family, sir, thank you. >> god bless you, stay safe. >> next, coming up next, we know thanksgiving is all about the sides, so what is the most popular side in your stage? that's coming up. ♪

>> happy thanksgiving. big box stores traditionally dominate black friday but shopping will look different this year due to their pandemic and in texas some business owners are asking locals to shop local. fox seven austin has more. >> in a year of uncertainty. >> hi, they are, how are you? >> hundreds of local austin businesses are pleading with the community to shop local this year. >> we have to think globally but act locally. >> the blue genie arts bazaar in north austin, an annual call holiday collector that's been around for 2 20 years. >> it's so important to shop local because when you buy something here, you are supporting person in our community and your money is coming back into our community and the more we can do that and support each other the better our community will be. >> there are 120 vendors here

under one roof, all of them are local to austin and you can see that. >> her business, she is a beekeeper and she uses the honeycomb from herbie is to cast these beautiful necklaces and earrings. >> local businesses are all over austin. there are five business districts in the capital city, defined by the city's economic development department who has been working in overdrive to help disperse funds to local businesses since the pandemic began. >> we also have a tremendous amount of relief throughout the community, that's just a small amount of what's needed to help provide some relief. >> not all businesses are brick and mortar. me the owner of you and bri end.

>> this is it. it comes with some different honeys and the like. i like to use local honeys and jams. >> good idea, that looks yummy and this saturday is small business saturday, by the way, a great opportunity to support local shops, lots of unique items. rick? >> in our last 4 minutes, let's talk turkey or more important the sides. with us now, brett larson, real quick. i know google did a search of the best or most uniquely searched side dishes and here they are, arizona is ham. ours did not arrive, by the way. california is gravy, iowa is fruit salad, new york is potatoes and texas, corn bread dressing. what else you got? >> do any of those sound reasonable, though? i'm from california and i think of gravy has more about topping

than a side dish. >> gravy of the topping. >> corn bread texas i was hoping would have tax tex-mex flavor t. we just saw, close for today unlike the years pass, best buy, kohl's, macy's, target, and walmart. there stores are closed but their online sites are open and the black friday deals are open, already started with amazon. one thing that people always want to get this time of year and i get the temptation, the big flat screen tv, the big 85-inch flatscreen tv that is like $300. if that is something that you are thinking about getting for your family to try to wiggle under the christmas tree, a couple things to keep in mind. check the statistics on the tv. if it seems too cheap it might be last year's model. also oftentimes folks get tvs

that are too big for their room, really easy way to figure out how big the tv should be is the size, the distance from you to the tv in inches divided by two so if you are 10 feet away from the tv -- >> i disagree, a tv can never be too large. >> yes it can. >> you can, though. >> it can be. >> here is new york's bravest. you can never have a tv too big but that's a simple formula to look for. tablets and phones, just read the fine print. i was going through some of the circulars today, the tablets are super cheap but some of the really cheap ones are ones that should be really cheap, they don't have a lot of onboard memory, low resolution screen. with the phones you've got to read the fine print because oftentimes that big discount means you have to sign up for a new service and that's going to lock you into a contract as well pay what side dishes are you guys going to enjoy later today? what are they catering their in los angeles? >> rick, what's your side?

>> my wife is cooking, i don't know if gravy is a side but we are definitely going to have that, potatoes for sure, mash potatoes are the number one side dish. >> you have to have mashed potatoes at thanksgiving, my nana used to make mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows, that's an amazing dish. >> i see here that zoom has lifted the 40 minute limit on thanksgiving. that's exciting. >> yes, yes, from now until 6:00 a.m. eastern time tomorrow morning the 40 minute cap on those free zoom accounts is not going to apply so you can chat away to your friends and family. >> i just want to give a quick shout out to my daughter veronica who proposed to her boyfriend, she proposed today and he said yes so congrats to will and to veronica and couldn't be more excited.
