appears to be originating. we begin tonight with correspondent jonathan serrie. >> today the world health organization identified this emerging threat, it gave it the name omicron and identified it as a variant of concern. >> what we do know is this variant has a large number of mutations and the concern is that when you have so many mutations that can have an impact on how the virus behaves. >> both mutations contain changes to the spike protein, although researchers are determining the actual threat, oma krohn's through southern africa concerns the british health minister. >> the early indications that we have is it may be more transmissible than the delta variant and the vaccines that we currently have may be less effective against it. >> international health officials are redoubling their efforts to get most of the world population vaccinated to. they faced challenges increasing supply in poor countries while encouraging demand in rich ones. nevertheless, health experts say vaccination is key to controlling the coronavirus and a slowing its mutations. >> the vaccines are going to continue to work against this variant, the question is how decrease to their effectiveness will be? they will work but they may not work as well. >> for now the highly infectious delta variant is what is driving most covert infections in the u.s., and michigan were colder temperatures are driving people indoors, the federal government is sending nurses, doctors and respiratory therapist to assist overburden hospitals. >> if we had 202 maca 300 in dearborn alone that

south africa and several other countries, jacqui heinrich is in the president on nantucket tonight, good evening. only hours after dr. anthony found she said u.s. health officials were seeking information from their south african counterparts about how this virus spreads and whether vaccines are effective against it, he made those recommendations to the president to. we don't know what was shared and what data was presented but it was enough to impose those travel restrictions starting on monday. >> we don't know a lot about it, except that it's of great concern and it spreads rapidly. >> president biden calling his decision to restrict travel from south africa and seven neighboring countries a precautionary measure until he has more information saying the medical team advised that should take effect on monday. biden telling americans concerned about the new omicron and variant the best way to strengthen protection is to get a booster shot as soon as you are eligible and for those not yet fully vaccinated, get vaccinated today, this includes children and adults. >> every american who is not been vaccinated should be responsible and to be vaccinated. everyone eligible for a booster shot should get the booster shot. i think it's a patriotic responsibility. >> the announcement follows a similar travel restrictions from a dozen other countries, biden making the case for intellectual property protection to be waived for coded vaccine so they can be manufactured globally, calling the news a clear sign the pandemic won't end without a global vaccines. news of the restrictions sent to global markets reeling taking the spotlight off balancing black friday sales expected to climb at a record pace this year despite soaring inflation. the president saying the stock market response was no shock. >> it's expected, it's what it always does when covid rises. >> democratic posters are spooked about inflation pressure in the white house to be more vocal about what levers they are pulling to address it to. while the white house consistently says president biden respects the independence of the fed to determine monetary policy, he revealed the day he is speaking to them. >> i talked to the fed about a whole range of things monetary policy and inflation. >> after the president released the barrels into the emergencies stockpile oil, the interior department laid out plans to make fossil fuel companies pay more to drill on federal land and water, it called for boosting the governments royalty rate possibly to come in line with oil and gas producing states but it notably does not recommend stopping new leases on federal land to address the climate crisis, that is something the president did campaign on. >> jacqui heinrich live at nantucket. black friday is one of the busiest shopping days of the year and a green flag to start the holiday scramble. fox business correspondent hillary vaughn is in rockaway, new jersey, tonight to tell us what she is seeing. >> black friday is back, holiday shoppers tired of being cooped up in quarantine last christmas, this christmas are crossing off their christmas list early and in person. i wanted to get out and get the experience, i didn't want to do everything online i wanted to get that holiday feel. >> that's part of the whole christmas experience, the month leading up to it, not just sitting on the computer and ordering. >> today is the official kickoff to the holiday shopping season but it looks different, door buster deals that people used to camp out overnight to grab are the ghost of black friday passed. several retailers stayed closed on thanksgiving instead of a one-day stampede of shoppers this season, it's been a steady flow of sales. business is trickling out deals weeks before thanksgiving. the national retail federation says more people are shopping in person this year, 64% of shoppers are expected to be out and about today, that doesn't mean that there aren't some thanksgiving shoppers, pumping prices from inflation, shipping snafus from supply chain or snowballing on the shopping season. >> many of the sale prices seem like the prices i was used to one or two years ago, it's a little bit harder to find some things. sold out, not in stock. >> my husband works in supply chain management, you have to start right now or you're not going to get. >> mastercard says in-store sales are up over 42% compared to last year's black friday, shoppers are not having a hard time filling up their shopping carts but when they get home they are going to have a lot of rapping to do. >> i hope you find a couple deals, hillary vaughn live in rockaway, new jersey, thanks very much. let's bring in fox news contributor dr. jeanette and investment advisor, welcome to both of you. >> happy thanksgiving. >> let's start with you, the omicron variant, how concerned are you? >> i am concerned but we we shouldn't panic, we shouldn't worry, we just need to be prepared and protect ourselves and the best way we can do that is of course getting your vaccine. what we know so far is this new variant has multiple mutations which might make it easier to gain access into ourselves and make us sick. we still need more data to determine if it will invade the vaccine or the current treatments we have been instilled in me to take precautions and protect ourselves by getting vaccinated and practicing common sense measures. >> the timing of this is tough, it's traditionally one millions of americans love flooding into public malls and we have a new variant, what about the economic impact? >> there's nothing like the words travel ban and lockdown to stop people dead in the tracks, we've seen lockdowns in europe, like austria. it's something that had to be watched very closely. we are just coming off a big pandemic a year or two and people want to get out, they want to spend, they want to enjoy themselves and you are seeing it in droves, 2.3 million people through the turnstiles on wednesday, a very good number -- that is meaningful for the business and the economy, we want to keep that going. this news can really put a fork in it, keeping fingers crossed it's not as bad as what some people are saying. >> let's play this clip from dr. anthony fauci from this morning. >> as soon as we find out more information we'll make a decision as quickly as we possibly can. you always put these things on the table but you don't want to say you're going to do it until you have some scientific reason to do it. that's the reason why we are rushing now to get that scientific data to try to make an informed decision about something like that. >> a matter of hours later the white house announces a travel ban from non-u.s. citizens from eight countries, does that suggest the experts saw something alarming? >> they put this band and a place which will take place on monday as an abundance of caution. they may find this is similar to the delta variant or the alpha variant or the u.k. variant, if they find it is not more lethal, not more contagious they can easily lift that band. as a precautionary measure they are putting this ban into place i think it will help to minimize the spread, we see an exacerbation of transmission of viral diseases with travel so i think a temporary hold on travel from these countries, botswana, the south african areas where we see this outbreak might be a good idea for the short term. >> speaking of travel, americans are paying a lot more at the gas pump, thanksgiving was the most expensive ever, the market dropped 905 today, what about the big picture economic impact of a new variant? >> it depends on if it comes here and if it really gets going away, i like what our government is doing, the number one job of the government is to protect the citizenry. the fact they are getting out in front of it is a good thing and who can stop dead in its tracks, i think the economy that really wants to get going will get going. when i go out and see how people feel and how they are spending, very important as how many people are traveling and there is a ton right now. it will go for 2022 in a good way. these outlier events, namely covid have to be watched very closely and i'm very, very happy they are erring on the side of caution. >> mike: merck and pfizer are going through approval for new antiviral pills, could they be helpful? >> absolutely, we have a new drug that pfizer is making, also from merck, these drugs have been shown to reduce the number of deaths and hospitalizations by up to 90% commit started early and the good thing is they are pills. you don't have to have an i.d. for attentive he started in early days of the diagnosis of covid, they can be very helpful. we just need to get an fda approved right away. >> mike: let's end on a positive note, did the markets overreact today and is it a great time to buy? >> i think longer term you never bet against america and american companies, so maybe we'll get some pickups and we'll end up with some bear markets along the way but 100 years of history saying eventually the markets are going higher and we are going to see ten fold moves forward that breakthrough technologies and medicine, liquid medical companies of done with the vaccine basically saving the world over the last year we will see

early reports out of south africa may suggest that it's not. politically, i think you are going to hear republicans comparing what president biden is doing to what president trump did. in early 2020, in the early days of the pandemic, president trump imposed travel restrictions on china and later on europe. then vice president joe biden, candidates joe biden said this will not work, we do not need donald trump's hysteria and xenophobia. now of course, president biden has imposed travel restrictions on south africa and several other african countries. i think you will see political feedback on what he has done. >> one about that, is there a double standard in terms of travel bands? what what about the messaging now, does the white house have to alert people but not press the panic button? >> there is always this tight rope act because you don't want to scare people but obviously biden keeps pounding the drum on vaccinations. it seems like every time prognosticators say this pandemic is petering out there is another variant around the corner. it is clear we are going to have to live with this virus at lower levels for some time to come and the cities can't keep shutting down and students can't keep wearing masks all day long in class. to be the impact is president biden can't declare victory on the issue he ran against in 2020. that is important to know. the economy is bouncing back strongly, jobless claims down to a 52 year low but even with all of that, you have today, you have people spending money for black friday but even with all of that you have the market slide and you might mention of the top of the newscast, inflation making clear this recovery is rather fragile. >> what about the state of our economy? black friday today, the market took a hit, inflation is up, your thoughts. >> it appears to me that all of what he said is right, i don't disagree with anything but what you cannot deny is the economy markets are inextricably linked to this pandemic and to covid. the one where we as americans can ensure our economic and national security is to find ways to get vaccinated. i pushed back a little bit on one thing, i think president biden -- the politics should come into the fort at all but likely will. i hope president biden is doing something president trump did, i hope he owns up to it and i hope those on the other side own up to the fact that maybe we shouldn't pull back so quickly in trying to help every day middle-class americans if we have to have some kind of adjusted -- not shut down but modified way in which we do business going forward. >> is it possible travel ban's are good policy? your thoughts on the state of the economy? >> it could be they are a bad policy, whether the 46th or 45th president, is not entirely clear about that. as far as the economy is concerned, i tend to look at what happened on the stock market today as the kind of freak out that happens occasionally on wall street, a bunch of them happened last year and the bigger problem remains inflation for millions of americans who have seen not only all of the goods that they buy increasing in price but also the wage gains that may have gotten in the last couple of years just completely eaten up, counterbalanced by inflation. i think that remains the bigger, longer term problem. >> mike: up next friday lightning round, the media report card on the ahmaud arbery trial, the president biden's blind spots plus winners and losers. coricidin provides powerful cold relief without raising your blood pressure be there for life's best moments with coricidin. now in sugar free liquid.

>> it never reached the passionate debate of the kyle rittenhouse trial. pretty clear cut racially motivated killing, and people are saying the system worked. at the same time last year this got no national attention until that video leaked months after the murder itself. i do think it's noteworthy you see some people, left-wingers still not accepted in the kyle rittenhouse acquittal and president biden himself praised the ahmaud arbery verdict but said he was angry about the rittenhouse verdict and i think that kind of talk undermines the justice system. >> in fairness, president biden said he accepted the jury verdict, shared his views about what the he thought the facts were and what he sought in the press but he did accept the jury verdict. the press coverage of the rittenhouse matter, the press coverage of the ahmaud arbery matter, some covered more than others. i think it's important to note the first d.a. in brunswick, georgia, had been indicted, the state appointed a special prosecutor because the original d.a. is being indicted for obstruction of justice for knowingly and purposefully not bringing this case to trial, thankfully one of the defendants released the video -- i don't know why he did what he released the video, i think it might've been for whatever reason and we learned about it, that is how this case came to trial. for the jury won. >> i agree with the last thing that harold said, there was some shameful coverage and commentary especially on the rittenhouse case but in the end, i think a fair observer of both trials would look and say the jury system works in both cases, regardless of what your ideological predispositions were. i think both the juries reached the correct verdicts. >> mike: we asked our esteemed panelists on their predictions of president biden's unexpected blind spots between now and the end of the year. lead us off. >> i've been saying this for months but a lot of people now in the democratic party and other journalists saying biden doesn't make enough use of the media megaphone, he has it turned way down he doesn't engage much with reporters and therefore he is ceding the field to his opponents. he doesn't drive the news agendas the way he could. >> i think it's energy prices, i've been saying now i echoed the point i might've even said when senator manchin was saying it, they should reverse the keystone pipeline decision, they should upgrade the electrical grid, some of the top universities like carnegie mellon and others -- we have to focus on this not as a party but as a nation. >> your thoughts on potential blind spots for the president between now and the end of the year, the floor is yours. >> it's actually housing. this week "the wall street journal" published an article suggesting that biden administration wants to go back to some of the old days, the bad old days of housing policy like looser underwriting standards for mortgage and lower down payments that helped lead to the terrible housing crash in 2008. the idea is, please don't do it. >> mike: we've got a big spending bill, the president is trying to get across the finish line between now and the end of the year, does he get it done? >> if they don't get this done by christmas, it's a major defeat for biden and the democratic party. the infrastructure bill was a victory but it was held hostage by the progressive wing. i think in the end enough democrats will have to hold their nose and vote for it. >> he needs senator joe manson, senator kyrsten sinema, does that president get it done or does it slip to next year?
