RIGHT
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW ON SUNRISE, IT'S BLACK FRIDAY. BUT NOT
A NORMAL BLACK FRIDAY.
I'M BREAKING DOWN WHAT'S
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR AND WHAT
COMPANIES ARE DOING TO KEEP
SHOPPERS SAFE. THEN TURNING
HEADS AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS
HE WILL LEAVE THE OVAL OFFICE.
HIS CALL WITH MEMBERS OF THE
MILITARY OVER THE TRANSFER
OF POWER AND THE HOLIDAYS
ARE LIFTING MORE THAN JUST YOUR
SPIRITS. WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP
THE FESTIVITIES GOING TO GET
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC. CAROLINE
SUNRISE STARTS
SUNRISE STARTS >>. WELL , WELL . WHAT IS
USUALLY A LONG DAY FULL OF BUSY,
CROWDED STORES HAS TURNED INTO
A VIRTUAL SHOPPING SPREE.
IT'S BLACK FRIDAY AND IT IS
LOOKING A LOT DIFFERENT THIS
YEAR. THERE'S STILL PLENTY
OF OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE
SOME GOOD DEALS. SO WE WANT
TO KNOW WHAT ARE YOU SHOPPING
FOR ? SEE ANY GOOD DEALS OUT
THERE? LET US KNOW. USE THEM .
HASHTAG #SUNRISERS. YEAH, WE'VE
SEEN GORDON OUT AT BEST BUY THIS
MORNING . THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME LINES BUT KAI HAS GOT
TO CHECK YOUR TRAFFIC IF YOU
ARE HEADED OUT THE DOOR.
SOME CRASHES TO REPORT AND GUY
WITH YOUR BLACK FRIDAY WEATHER
THIS MORNING , THE CAROLYNN
BACKYARD. YEAH. YOU KNOW
THE WEATHER IS ON THE CHILLY
SIDE OF THINGS. SO IF YOU
ARE HEADING OUT TO DO ANY BLACK
FRIDAY SHOPPING. BUNDLE UP .
TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE IN
THE UPPER 20S WITH WINDCHILL
VALUES FEELING LIKE THE LOW 20S
WINDS RIGHT NOW OUT OF THE WEST
AT SEVEN MILES PER HOUR. SUNRISE
SEVEN TWENTY SEVEN LATER THIS
MORNING . TWENTY TWO WILL BE
THE WINDCHILL VALUE AS WE GET
INTO THE LATER MORNING HOURS.
THEN WINDCHILLS WILL JUMP UP TO
THE UPPER 20S WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 30S. SO WINDS AT
TIMES COULD SHAVE OFF ABOUT 10
DEGREES OR SO BY 10:00 A.M.
11:00 A.M.. FINALLY,
TEMPERATURES JUMP TO THE
FREEZING MARK AND THEN WE WARM
UP TO THE MID TO UPPER 30S FROM
THERE. ALL RIGHT , GUYS .
THANK YOU. AND YEAH, YOU MIGHT
RUN INTO SOME FROST ON THE ROAD,
MAYBE SOME SLICK SPOTS BECAUSE
YES, WE ARE SEEING SEVERAL
CRASHES THAT JUST KEEP POPPING
UP . UNFORTUNATELY ON BLACK
FRIDAY, TWO OF THEM EXCUSE ME
THREE NOW ON ONE SIXTY NINE IN
THE EDEN PRAIRIE AREA AS WELL AS
NEAR SAVAGE. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO
TRACKING A CRASH NEAR RICHFIELD.
THERE ON 35W AND 62. THANK YOU.
IT'S A BLACK FRIDAY UNLIKE ANY
OTHER INSTEAD OF LINES WRAPPING
AROUND BUILDINGS WHERE SOCIALLY
DISTANCED AND STORES
ARE CHANGING THE WAY THEY'RE
ROLLING OUT THE DEALS. GORDON
STEVENSON IS LIVE AT THE BEST
BUY IN RICHFIELD TO TALK ABOUT
WHAT RETAILERS ARE DOING TO KEEP
YOU SAFE AND HELP YOU SAVE.
GORDON YEAH, WHEN WE GOT HERE I
WOULD SAY THERE ABOUT 60 TO 70
SHOPPERS LINED UP WAITING
FOR THE DOORS OPEN AT 5:00 A.M.
THIS MORNING . SINCE THEN, WE'VE
SEEN A FEW SHOPPERS HERE AND
THERE, NOT THE TYPICAL CROWDS
THAT WE SEE ON A TYPICAL BLACK
FRIDAY. A LOT OF THE SHOPPING
HAS MOVED ONLINE THIS YEAR GIVEN
THE PANDEMIC BEST BUY AND A LOT
OF OTHER RETAILERS ARE OFFERING
THE EXACT SAME DEALS BOTH
IN-STORE AND ONLINE. AND A LOT
OF THOSE DEALS HAVE BEEN GOING
ALL MONTH LONG. SO THEY'RE
REALLY SPACING IT OUT. BUT TO
KEEP THE BLACK FRIDAY TRADITION
ALIVE. BEST BUY HAS SAVED A FEW
OF THOSE DEALS FOR TODAY. SO IF
YOU'VE BEEN CHECKING THE WEB
SITE, CHECK AGAIN. THERE MIGHT
BE SOMETHING NEW THAT YOU MISSED
TODAY THAT GOES LIVE IN STORE.
THE COMPANY IS ALSO RAMPING
UP SAFETY THIS YEAR, OFFERING
CURBSIDE PICKUP, EXTRA CLEANING
AND LOWERING CAPACITY LIMITS
TO KEEP THE AISLES CLEAR.
WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE
>> AT THE VERY FRONT OF THE
STORE MONITORING THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE THAT COME IN WHICH
WILL VARY FROM STORE TO STORE AS
NOT ALL STORES ARE THE SAME
SIZE. AND THEN AS PEOPLE EXIT
THE STORE, WE'LL LET
THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER
OF CUSTOMERS INSIDE THE STORE
>>. NOW BEST BUY IS ALSO
EXTENDING ITS HOURS HERE FOR
THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON.
TODAY THEY WILL BE WILL BE OPEN
UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK EVERY OTHER
NIGHT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF WEEKS THEY'LL BE OPEN UNTIL
EIGHT O'CLOCK. NOW ANOTHER THING
THAT THEY TOLD ME IS A GREAT
RECOMMENDATION FOR SHOPPERS IS
THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO
TO THE STORE IN PERSON, THEY
RECOMMEND HAVING A GAME PLAN
BEFORE YOU GO TO THE STORE.
THAT WAY YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
YOU WANT. YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS.
YOU CAN GET IN AND YOU CAN GET
OUT FAST AND YOU CAN LIMIT YOUR
EXPOSURE TO OTHER PEOPLE . BACK
TO YOU. DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE
THAT THIS YEAR. ALL RIGHT ,
GORDON, THANK YOU. WELL , LET'S
TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS WHEN
IT COMES TO COLD CASES,
WISCONSIN DIDN'T HIT ANY
RECORDS, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
NEW CASES WERE MORE THAN 5000.
SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT TWO
WEEK AVERAGE WE'VE BEEN SHOWING
YOU. IT IS TRENDING DOWNWARD
BACK TO SIX THOUSAND CASES PER
DAY. WHEN IT COMES TO DEATHS 62
PEOPLE REPORTED TO HAVE DIED
IN WISCONSIN. THAT'S AFTER
THAT RECORD. REMEMBER MORE THAN
100 THE PREVIOUS DAY.
NOW MINNESOTA DIDN'T REPORT ANY
NEW NUMBERS YESTERDAY. BUT LET'S
TAKE A LOOK AT ONCE THESE
NUMBERS. TWO DEATHS REPORTED
THAT DAY WHICH TIES THE RECORD
FROM BACK ON THE 19TH
OF NOVEMBER AND NEW CASES AROUND
64, HUNDREDS STILL PRETTY HIGH .
THAT WEEKLY POSITIVITY RATE,
THIS DOTTED LINE RIGHT HERE IT
IS APPROACHING 7000 CASES PER
DAY AND THE NUMBER OF CASES
COMING BACK POSITIVE, THIRTEEN
POINT NINE %. THAT'S FROM
THE 16TH. NOW AGAIN, MDH IS
WARNING THAT WILL LIKELY SEE
SOME OF THIS WAVE LIKE PATTERN
ON THESE CHARTS AS WE LOOK AT
HOW THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY IS
GOING TO IMPACT THESE NUMBERS.
AND LET'S GO NOW TO NEW THIS
MORNING TO PARTS OF MINNEAPOLIS
LOOKING A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS
MORNING . A STATUE WAS TOPPLED
AT A WASHBURN FAIR OAKS PARK
AND ANOTHER STATUE WAS
VANDALIZED AT B.F. NELSON PARK.
AND HERE'S WHAT THE SCENE LOOKED
LIKE OVERNIGHT TO B.F. NELSON
PARK. YOU CAN SEE THE GRAFFITI
HERE ON THE PIONEER STATUE. THIS
ISN'T JUST HAPPENING
IN MINNEAPOLIS. STATUES AROUND
THE COUNTRY WERE DAMAGED
YESTERDAY AND KAI IS GOING
TO EXPLAIN WHY AT 530

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS INDEED
EXPECTED TO FORMALLY CERTIFY

HOUSE, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID
IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT

>> WELL , A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
TODAY OFF AS PART HOLIDY,
BUT MANY OF US ARE STILL GETTING
UP AND GETTING TO WORK. SO
WHY IS THINGS GIVING ON
A THURSDAY INSTEAD OF THE
WEEKEND? THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. >>
YOU. >> SO WHY DO WE CELEBRATE
THANKSGIVING ON THE FOURTH
THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER? IT TURNS
OUT IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN
THE CASE AND WE'RE SAD TO SAY
YES, CHRISTMAS SHOPPING PLAYS
A BIG ROLE IN WHY WE DO IT NOW .
IT ALL STARTED IN 1789 WHEN
PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON
DECLARED NOVEMBER 26 AS NATIONAL
DAY OF PUBLIC THANKSGIVING.
THEIR TRADITION CONTINUED WITH
PRESIDENTS ANNOUNCING WHEN
THANKSGIVING WOULD BE HELD.
BUT BY THE TIME PRESIDENT
LINCOLN ISSUED HIS THANKSGIVNG
THAT LAST THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER
WAS PRETTY STANDARD. THEN CAME
FDR AND 1939 WHEN NOVEMBER HAD
FIVE THURSDAY, SHOP OWNERS
BEGGED THE PRESIDENT TO MOVE
THANKSGIVNG UP FOR YOU GUESSED
IT, MORE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO DO
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. FDR CAVED.
BUT NOT EVERYONE WAS HAPPY.
A FEW GOVERNORS INSISTED THEIR
STATES HOLD TURKEY ON THEIR
TRADITIONAL DATE. BUT BY 1941,
CONGRESS WAS ON BOARD AND PASSED
A LAW DECLARING THANKSGIVING
TO BE ON THE FOURTH THURSDAY
OF NOVEMBER. AND NOW YOU KNOW
BUT DON'T ASK ME ABOUT CANADIAN
THANKSGIVING. I'M NOT GETTING
INTO THAT ONE
>>. WE COULD ASK CHRIS TOO,
BUT HE'S NOT
>> TODAY. ALL RIGHT . WELL ,
HULU GETTING IN ON THE BLACK
FRIDAY DEALS. HOW LONG YOU CAN
STREAM YOUR FAVORITE SHOWS
FOR JUST TWO BUCKS THEN CAN YOU
ACTUALLY BECOME IMMUNE TO COVID
19 IF YOU CATCH IT ONCE? IT ALL
DEPENDS ON HOW SEVERE YOUR
CASES. PLUS, THE HOLIDAYS
ARE LIFTING SPIRITS WHEN WE
