show, those 16 giant character balloons. the question will continue to be will the winds stay low enough to let these things launch? 20 mile an hour consistent winds, gusts up to 34 miles an hour is the threshold. higher than that and they cannot go. look at those winds across the northeast and we are getting up in that range, new york city, central park, we saw consistent winds gusting into the upper 20s and that is getting closer to that threshold. look at the next graphic and that will be the forecast across the entire country. it is just about that wind. if you're in the west, still big heavy snow will linger through your thursday forecast. the middle of the country a dry, sunny, not too bad and in new york city temperatures are going to be a lot of sunshine along the parade route today so i think the forecast is going to look pretty good. it will all come down to these winds, something we will watch

through the rest of the morning and of those 16 character balloons there's a handful of new ones, spongebob of being one of the new ones but we got a sneak peek behind me, astronaut snoopy is one of the new balloons just over my shoulder. i know you are really excited about astronaut snoopy, you were telling me. >> if he does not fly today my thanksgiving will have been ruined. >> i feel the same way. >> clearly the balloons are inflated, we just need to know if they can fly. we will check in with you later. >> there is politics, the president spending the holiday at mara lago we will have call american troops serving overseas. >> what could be included in the doj inspector general fisa report. allison barber live in washington with more on what is reportedly included in those findings.

meadows tells jillian turner republicans intend to call for the resignation of adam schiff. they think the evidence in the report is so damning it makes clear adam schiff is failing in his oversight duties of the intelligence agencies, that could be a tough argument to make because republicans, not adam schiff or democrats were in the majority at the time of the alleged offenses, suggesting republicans will try to argue he had insight into how the fisa application process was being managed by officials and the obama administration. shannon: big news even when washington is home for the holidays. a fox news alert, north korea firing at least one identified projectile overnight. the south korean. announcing the launch but not confirming what kind of projector was fired or where it landed. it comes is the us and north

korea stare down a year end deadline for nuclear negotiations. if they don't come up with a plan we could see a huge uptick in missile testing in the rogue regime. >> another fox news alert, china's for ministry promising from countermeasures after donald trump signs two bills backing hong kong protesters, the president vowing to protect activists from president xi on "fox and friends". >> we have to stand with hong kong but if it weren't for me hong kong would have been obliterated in 20 minutes. 1 million soldiers standing outside of hong kong that aren't going only because i asked him please don't do that, you will be making a big mistake. it will have a tremendous negative impact on the trade deal. >> those bills were signed as hong kong's pro-democracy protesters continue to clash with police. >> in the us, 60,000 people forced out of their homes after a massive chemical plant explosion in texas.

this video was taken where the intense fire is still burning. 24 hours later planes causing the plant to collapse setting off a giant fireball. doorbell camera footage shows the moment the giant explosion. doors open and shattered windows. the tpc says three employees were injured in the blast, their thankfully okay. >> the us ambassador to the eu slamming sexual harassment accusations, gordon sondland said it is meant to influence proceedings. he testified in the impeachment inquiry. >> donald trump or the champ? the president tweeting this picture of himself as rocky

after saying this one day earlier at his florida rally. >> why what i wear a tie, if the first thing we do is say take off your shirt and show us that gorgeous chest. >> donald trump joking about his recent trip to see his doctor but not everyone enjoyed december, some outlets and this is important to note, quick to point out that this photo was doctored. that is not him. >> i just assumed he wore that. >> they pointed out it was doctored, don't want to confuse anybody. time, 10 minutes after they are, michael bloomberg's plan, the president's immigration policies will reveal he wants more immigrants but is that a good idea? kristin tate says bloomberg must've forgotten what happened in 2016, the reality check next.

>> [speaking spanish] >> we are talking the top political turkeys of 2019, beto makes the list but who else? >> you have been sharing with us what you are thankful for. raymond says he's thankful for his family and friends. >> patrick is grateful to serve his south carolina state guard unit and for his wife. keep sending your pictures, we will be sharing them all morning long. ♪ i've got plenty to be thankful for]

>> this country was built by immigrants. we need more immigrants rather than less. we have to go out and try to recruit immigrants to come here. we need immigrants to take the different kinds of jobs the country needs, what donald trump has done, ripping kids away from their parents is a disgrace.

>> michael bloomberg slamming donald trump for his immigration policies. the former new york city mayor calling for increased immigration. >> i the president's border promises a major reason he was elected. >> the other how do i text thee, kristin tate, good morning, thank you for joining us on a holiday. let's get straight to it, how do you feel about what michael bloomberg had to say about immigration? >> americans on both sides of the aisle tend to be compassionate reasonable people who think immigration makes this country a better place but there are many who are concerned that our compassion has been taken advantage of and we have been stripped of the right to decide who can and cannot come into the country. the conservatives i talk to and i know are not necessarily against more immigration as a general principle but they are concerned the country can't afford to absorb millions more people for net consumers of taxpayer-funded services.

in 2017 the group fair found illegal immigrants cost taxpayers $116 billion just that year alone. if you taxpayers are on the hook to provide services like medical, justice, education and all these services for illegal immigrants in the country and millions of children. there are real concerns here and a lot of democrats including michael bloomberg just refuse to acknowledge them. >> isn't this just another example of a politician conflating purposefully illegal immigration with immigration when we are a nation of immigrants, we were founded by immigrants and illegal immigration is much different than regular through the proper means immigration? >> exactly right. most americans agree with these principles, this is easy stuff to get your flight around. we are a nation of laws. we want more people to come to this country to contribute to america, that is what makes this place so great but you need to

do it the right way and follow the law and the rules on the books. >> from michael bloomberg to elizabeth warren we go and some polls including recent quinnipiac poll shows that her campaign is in a freefall down 14 points over the past month and she responded to that. take a listen. >> the same answer it has always been. i don't do polls. i'm out here fighting every day on behalf of working families. i'm talking about what is broken in this country and how to fix it and building a grassroots movement. >> elizabeth warren so she doesn't do polls. should she be worried? >> she should be worried. people are starting to wake up to the fact that elizabeth warren has been lying about how she's going to pay for her big government programs like

medicare for all. it is laughable to suggest you're going to put these trillion dollar big government programs in place and not raise taxes on the middle class. even bernie sanders has been telling supporters that he put in place medicare for all, for everyone making $30,000 a year and elizabeth warren so she can do this with a wealth tax. that would bring in $2.75 trillion according to her own advisers. that wouldn't even cover three years of current deficits let alone free college or medicare for all. people are starting to wake up to this and realize problems. >> could be aside for biden and buttigieg. could be moving a little more to the center. thanks for getting up with us on turkey morning. carley: thanksgiving is a day set aside for showing gratitude but how do you remain grateful all year long? pastor robert jeffers with a message all-americans need to hear next.

>> what is your thanksgiving message this year? >> thanksgiving doesn't have to be reserved for one day a year celebration in which we gorge ourselves on turkey and football. it out to be aware life. there all kind of studies that show that people who express gratitude regularly have a 35% decrease in depressive symptoms, they enjoy a 25% increase in quality of their sleep, they even tend to exercise more than 40 minutes more a week than others which is important especially after today and to make gratitude a regular part of your life there are three things you can do. first of all before you drift off to sleep at night just meditate on two positive thing god did for you during the day,

there was a great study that showed people who focus on positive things rather than negative before they drift off to sleep have better quality-of-life. secondly, send a note or a text every day to somebody who has done something good for you just to express gratitude. finally i would say today after the food and the relatives are gone just sit down by yourself for ten minutes and make a list of everything in your life to be grateful for and that gratitude list can be something you go back to regularly throughout the year. chesterton said life is easier when you take your life with gratitude instead of taking life for granted. >> what most americans are thankful for, 88% said family, 77% said health, personal freedom and friends. what would you say to somebody watching at home that is thinking about this and is going through a rough time thinking i can't think of anything i'm particularly grateful for? >> a lot of people say what am i

supposed to do today if i don't feel grateful? i always tell people right feelings, follow right actions. it is a lot easier to act yourself into a feeling then feel yourself into an action. the fact is if you start to act grateful you will feel grateful. there is a reason we call today thanksgiving rather than thanks feeling. >> we believe it there but first let's take a look at some members of your family. what do we have here? i see three little ones. >> our three triplets grandchildren, they are truly a miracle from god and we are going to celebrate their second birthday next week and i'm truly grateful to them. >> that is the cutest thing that you will see. you have such a beautiful family. good for you. thanks for coming on early with us, we really appreciate it.

right there on the 5 yard line. >> the patriots on defense against the cowboys on sunday. you can see the marker lines up evenly with the white and yellow lines but this shot shows where the first down marker actually wound up. the fan claims an official moved it further away making it more difficult for the cowboys to get a first down. yahoo sports point out the issue seems to be a mistake with the original placement of the ball which means they did not sheet. >> your tape review, you're into it. >> i got a head set on and talk to tom brady about it later. >> home for the holidays, not everyone. a handful of stores will open their doors on thanksgiving. >> with a booming economy heading into the holiday season more people are expected to shop till they drop this year. >> is this person one of them?

we have created 6.7 million new jobs. >> not everybody loves the idea of making employees work on a holiday, stores like costco, nordstrom, will be closed today. >> 2019 has proven to be a year filled with political gaffes but which blunders surpass them all, here to break down the biggest political turkeys of the year, jane mccormick. happy thanksgiving. beto spoke spanish at the first debate and things of not gone well since. >> [speaking spanish] >> that is something else. >> zoom in and see the look on booker and elizabeth warren's
