♪ ♪ >> lawrence: good morning on this thanksgiving morning. happy thanksgiving. joey jones is here. rachel campos-duffy. steve, brian, and ainsley had the day off, but we are so glad you're here with us today. what are you guys for this morning? >> rachel: i am so thankful for my family.

i am so thankful to live in a country where we have liberty and we are free to practice our faith, and i'm thankful for my parents. >> lawrence: joey, what about you? >> joey: and thankful to be alive. 12 years ago i survive something i probably shouldn't have. i am thankful for the family that god blessed me with. i didn't have any before i deployed. i come back, i've got to go kids, i've got meg come and we are happy. what else is there to be thankful for? >> rachel: and you come alliance? >> lawrence: and think of her life, health, strength, and our viewers watching us this morning. you pay our bills and support us through the highs and lows. speaking of viewers, we've got when he from karen. happy 25th birthday to her son, connor, who was born on thanksgiving. he is, before and after, this is his before and after joining the air force. >> rachel: that's amazing. my son's birthday is today, as well. happy birthday to both of those!

yes, my son. here is kevin and heather's family. they have five kids, and double twins. imagine that, joey. [laughs] >> joey: i wanted twins until i had a baby at home. this times two? to do that twice over? >> rachel: ? >> rachel: it's amazing. >> joey: god knows who can do it and who can't. that's what it is. >> rachel: clearly that women can handle it. >> joey: this is from james in massachusetts. his mom turned 100 years old. beautiful, beautiful mom you've got there, james. we love her. happy birthday and thanks for being here with us. imagine everything she has seen. >> rachel: one last one, marie sent us this photo of her son and granddaughter. she's thankful for both of them, and her sons heart of service. >> lawrence: you can send us your family photos at foxnews.com. we would love to put them on the air today and tomorrow, because we'll be back here. >> rachel: let's get you to

adam. adam has the best assignment to come of seat at the parade, or the best spot at the parade, i should say. >> adam: adam, what are you seeing onthiy parade day? >> adam: well, good morning, guys, and happy thanksgiving. it is unusually warm. i've been out here long time now, but 40 degrees throughout the early morning hours. by noon it'll be 50 degrees. the folks who come out here for this are going to love it. what am i seeing? it continues to get more active. over my shoulder you can see the jolly green giant. it's always the second float of the parade. i have seen a bunch of the balloons. 34 of those big gigantic balloons are what we see every single year. they can take as much as an hour and a half to blow up. i've seen baby odetta, i've seen the pillsbury dough boy. people are excited about what is the big next balloon for this year. we have stuart from the minions as one of those, and another one

is from fox sports, stryker, honoring the united states men's team playing over in the world cup. 2:00 p.m. tomorrow they will take on england. obviously excited about that, but excited about the parade where the weather is feeling fantastic. 5,000 volunteers are out here, and they have begun to fill in more and more as the missouri tiger ban is warming up to my right-hand side. bands from across the country, 5,000 volunteers, 700 clowns. it's chaos, the best kind of chaos. remember, this kicks off in an hour. we'll be here throughout the rest of this hour giving giving updates along the way. back to you, though. >> lawrence: that's a beautiful band behind you. i'm listening to the beautiful music. >> rachel: and 700 clowns, who would have thought? >> joey: is that unusual? i don't remember seeing a whole bunch of clowns. >> rachel: they are spread o out. they can't be scary! >> joey: speaking of clowns --

[laughter] >> rachel: that was a great transition, joey. >> joey: speaking of people who work in the white house, ron klain put out a tweet. some talking points when that uncle, presumably that conservative uncle, comes at yoy here, about potus. he goes through this list of things should people should be thankful for. as if to say we should be thankful for joe biden being in the white house. i don't know if people who grocery shopped yesterday and cooked today and yesterday, i don't know if they feel the same, guys. >> rachel: if you're the president of united states and you need to give a cheat sheet to your supporters at thanksgiving, you're probably not doing a great job. if people haven't noticed the things you are doing. inflation, nothing has affected the thanksgiving meal more than joe biden's energy policies, which have driven up the costs, which mean that people are not around the table because maybe they couldn't afford a plane ticket home or couldn't afford to drive the car to your

thanksgiving dinner. he has a lot to answer for. here is what ron klain says. he said, "joe biden is tackling inflation lowering costs, and he took on big pharma." i don't think so. they paid another how many millions of dollars this summer on more covid vaccines that people aren't using. he claims the prescription drug and health care costs were brought down, and that they worked with republicans to rebuild infrastructure. he also claims that they worked with republicans to make more in america by passing the chips and science act, and that they brought republicans together to pass the first meaningful gun safety legislation in 30 years. they go on and on, talking about all of these things that many americans say don't really impact their lives the way inflation and gas prices do. >> lawrence: it's just so interesting, because you see the

polling that says 75% of republicans, democrats, and independent playlist believe we are heading in the wrong direction, and they blame joe biden. is he talking about that 25% that are going to be objecting at the table? when i talk with independent voters and democratic voters that wanted to give joe biden the shot, as y'all remember, went to every single swing state. there's a lot of buyers remorse when it comes to him. they h may have voted for the democrat in the midterm, but if he wasn't on the ballot -- i don't think they would have been waiting for him again. >> rachel: we brought in enes kanter earlier, new american celebrating thanksgiving as an american for the first time. he talked a bit about that he didn't say that joe biden was what he was think before, but he talked about what he was thankful for. take a listen. >> for me, it was the first time i came to america.

i was obviously thankful for my family, thankful for my health, and now i'm thinking today when we go around the table i know exactly what i'm thankful for: the freedom we have. people obviously criticize america and say things are bad, blah blah. i really want to take them, buy their plane ticket and take them to some of the countries out there like turkey, like china, russia, iran, north korea, venezuela, cuba. "listen, you are complaining here, but look what's happening." >> lawrence: you've got to give him credit. it's quite admirable for him to have so much joy in the midst of everything he's gone through, even to become an american citizen. i don't know how it feels not to be able to go back to your own country because they may kill you or threaten your family. >> joey: here's what's important about him and what i respect about him. i don't know his individual politics. i don't know how he feels a lot of the issues that we may argue about it our thanksgiving table.

he's not sitting there on some partisan stamp. he is sitting there on a purely pro-american, pro-freedom high. there's a smile on his face, he's ecstatic for the freedoms he just inherited by earning an american citizenship. it's not "us versus them" when he's talking. it's to respect and appreciate what you have here regardless of politics, because it's special. >> rachel: was also great about him, he's a new citizen, fighting to preserve the freedoms that many of us lost during covid and we need to restore. he isn't just enjoying the freedoms of america, he wants to preserve them, and he has put his own income on the line to do that. which is something -- everything, including his family and his friends, he he cannot now see back in turkey because he spoke of the truth about those countries and what so many of our corporations are doing in terms of their corrupt relationship with china, the largest human rights abuser in

the world. good for him. we need more americans like enes kanter. on the other hand, kevin mccarthy is calling for those who do not come here illegally to not enter our country, and he wants to hold those in power, like alejandro mayorkas, accountable for what they've done in opening up our border to those who come here illegally. listen. >> our country may never recover from secretary mayorkas' dereliction of duty. this is why today i am calling on the secretary to resign. he cannot and must not remain in that position. if secretary mayorkas does not resign, house republicans will investigate every order, every action, and every failure to determine whether we can begin

impeachment inquiry. >> joey: this is so important, because republicans waiting the house mean they don't have true legislative power when it comes to passing something. they can prevent something, but they can't make something pass. those who understand the civics, understand that the power to purse resides in the house, so they can affect budget and money but not administrative policy. they can't affect the border with republicans controlling just the house. what they can do is have an effect on those who do make decisions. so this pressure to be investigated, or that -- "you must resign" is more of the pomp and circumstance, but the idea to say, "we are going to investigate you, you better clean up your act, we are going to come looking." that is the one way republicans can have an effect moving forward. it isn't just about punishing mayorkas are bad and for what happened at the border, it's the way they can affect what will

happen to the border. >> lawrence: this is what they have to say. members of congress can do better than point the finger at someone else. they should come to the table and work on solutions for our broken system and outdated laws that have not been overhauled in over 40 years." i just got to mention this, because this is the headline we talk about today. of course the air marshals are under dhs, they are supposed to be keeping us -- they are taking the u.s. air marshals and sending them to the border. i mean, i just don't understand this type of policy right here. rob peter to pay paul? it's not going to work. >> joey: you live in texas. they have texas state game wardens patrolling the border. men and women whose job is to make sure that when we go out and hunt and interact with animals that we are doing it appropriately. they are in boats patrolling the border because there aren't enough people there. >> lawrence: they are supposed to be patrolling our highways, and there at the border.

>> joey: but the border is secure, by the way, according to mayorkas. >> rachel: and the reason is border patrol instantly processing and acting as travel agents to move these illegal immigrants further into the country with our own tax dollar. this idea of impeachment, we are all normalized to this, right? you opened the door to that, and what alejandro mayorkas has done, the dereliction of duty as homeland secretary by opening our borders -- by the way, just in october we have now apprehended -- and this is the only ones we have gotten -- 40 known terrorists have entered, just that we have caught, in october alone. >> lawrence: that doesn't include got-aways. >> rachel: or the 90 before october that we can't. there is an uptick of terrorists trying to enter our country.

so far more reasons to impeach alejandro mayorkas than we did with our former president. tom homan was on, by the way, and he talked about this with lawrence. listen. >> they do oversight hearings, there's going to be a lot of damning information that will put mayorkas in a very bad spot and force him to resign. so i salute mccarthy for doing this and i can't wait for it to begin, because mayorkas has violated the oath of office that he's taken, and his actions on the border have failed. as you know, lawrence, every month, a record number. he has failed for 18 months. time for him to go. why do they need air marshals? he just said the border is secure and closed. why do you need more people down there? i'll tell you why they are sending more people down there, to process quicker and release quicker, because they don't want the optics of overcrowding. because if there's not overcrowding, there's not an issue. keep lying to the american people that the border is secure. >> lawrence: that's an important point that tom is making.

the border patrol agents that are supposed to be patrolling, they are babysitters now. they're supposed to be out there and keep us safe, and they can't do their job because the biden administration won't allow them to. >> rachel: carley, you have some more news for us? >> carley: in idaho, police say they will work through the holiday in the investigation of four students killed in a home near campus. police have still not named a person of interest. >> we don't want to put our investigation in jeopardy by releasing what we have. we have told the public very clearly from the beginning that we are looking for a knife. we've told the public very clearly from the beginning that we believe it was a targeted attack. you're going to have to trust us on that at this point, because we are not going to release why we think that. >> carley: idaho officials will focus on processing forensic evidence gathered at the crime scene this weekend. a big update and the remaining

midterm election results in alaska. incumbent republican senator lisa murkowski beating her trump-endorsed challenger, and democrat congresswoman mary peltola beating republican challengers including former vice presidential nominee sarah palin to win a full term to represent the state's at-large congressional district. she has held the seat since winning a special election in august, following the death of longtime g.o.p. congressman don young. fox news media is partnering with the police athletic league to donate hundreds of gifts to kids in new york city. fox employees purchased and wrapped nearly 500 presents to put under the all-american christmas tree out on fox square during the tree lighting earlier this week. the director explained the group's mission. >> for people to grow, find mentorship, and partner with our great partners in law enforcement. to keep them safe and keep them

inspired for the future. >> carley: if you would like to donate to this incredible cause, go to this website on your screen down at the bottom, guys. in a little bit of news is being made outside right now. there's a massive crowd of people waiting to watch the parade. i see one woman with a turkey hat on her head. >> joey: want me to go take it from her for the baby?

thanksgiving? have you seen santa already? not yet? [laughs] thank y'all so much for being here. i'll send it back to you guys. as you know, inflation is hitting folks everywhere, but they are still thankful to be here in new york city for the macy's day thanksgiving parade. it's going to be happening right behind us! >> rachel: that's right. thank you, lawrence! it looks so fun out there. let's go back to the thanksgiving day parade where adam klotz is catching up with country music artist jordan davis. >> adam: good morning, happy thanksgiving to you. it's you are performing, you got cma son of the year and you're performing on the slope right behind us. have you ever done anything like this? tell me about the experience. >> eitan from louisiana, so i've done some mardi gras parades, but i've got to say this is like mardi gras times ten. it's going to be wild.

>> adam: and what are you going to be performing? >> my new single. not the one that won song of the year. but we are going to be doing a different one today. >> adam: are their nerves here, any different? >> not really. this is something that i know my family is watching, so i guess it'll be cool to get to see them. i'm an lsu tiger. i'm a little nervous about that! other than that i'm feeling pretty good. >> adam: when this is all over, do you have family with you to do something for thanksgiving? >> my daughter is here, my son, and my wife, then we will fly back to virginia to spend time with her family tonight. >> adam: happy thanksgiving and thanks for talking to us. there it is, guys. you will have music coming up in a little bit, i guess. >> joey: tell him i said go dawgs and he'll know what i'm talking about.

with distant relatives, rachael had almost given up hope. that was, until she received a message from criss. a few days later, they met in person, and now they will be spending thanksgiving together for the first time. rachael and criss join us now. it is so great to have you guys on! explain, criss, how you got on -- you had to be on a certain dna site in order for you to connect with your biological daughter? >> yeah. you know, there are several out there who do dna testing, and it just so happened that while i was at a roots tech conference on genealogy, the myheritage.com website was sponsoring dna quest, and they were doing a drawing for free dna testing kits. out of all the people who put their names then, i happened to be the lucky one who got it, and she had actually used they dna

kit about a year prior to me. so the odds for that were astronomical. i mean, it was kind of meant to be. >> rachel: it sounds like it's no coincidence. it's just incredible. rachael, what is so interesting to me, too, you found the match, and within days you are like, "we've got to meet." >> yeah, i was super prepared, i guess. my sister is adopted, as well, and i had seen how much joy it brought her when she met with her biological father. it was no surprise that i was adopted. my parents didn't keep it from me or anything. i just wanted to know more. through our email conversations, criss is just so amazing, and we had so much in common. i couldn't wait to meet him. i was a little nervous, but i wasn't scared. i knew that no matter what it would be great. >> i, however, was terrified. [laughter] >> rachel: what is so

interesting about this story is it's not just a reunion story, and through the technology of dna, and the matching that happened there. but it's an adoption story. she was given up for adoption, and your ex-girlfriend, criss, gave her life, and eventually you guys got back together. >> we got together. >> rachel: yes, not the ex! >> i thought you meant her mom and me! >> yes, it's just adding more family to my life, and i love that. i have three amazing half siblings that i get to add to my family, and they are so much fun. it's just -- i love having people in my life that are such a great support system, i can be there for them. you never lose anything by adding more love into your life.

sitting supreme court justice, and uncle tom. all nbc news does is continue to promote this unhinged racist, and that's why they're so much division in this country, because people like this have a microphone. >> joey: thankfully peoples whose names start with j-o-e can make up for it, joe and joey. it's thanksgiving, you're always smiling and saying something fun and funny and impactful. what is your thanksgiving day message on the heels of something like what joy reid was trying to say? >> you know, just spend time here friends. i've got mr. turkey here. i'm going to eat him later, unfortunately, and that's not the way you should treat friends, but like i said, after the past couple years, some of us couldn't see our families. both thanksgivings, we had covid in my house, so we couldn't be around my older relatives who can't be with us for too many more thanksgivings. remember the last couple years and say this is what it's all about. it's about family, it's about country, and it's about

story, brian daboll and his first year has brought this team around, and he is a shoe in for a coach of the year in my opinion. but if the dallas cowboys stop saquon barkley, which i think they will, they can run away with this one. steel and that's music to my ears! >> joey: too bad pete isn't here. >> rachel: he's going to have to wear cowboys sure it's all weekend. >> joey: sports is everything, college football in the south is everything, but we are taking it up to the midwest. this is saturday on fox, what we call "the game." michigan versus ohio state. tell us how this game is going to go. >> 2-3 doesn't get much bigger than that. we haven't seen them defeat them since 2006. it's for a spot in the big ten championship game, for a spot in the college football playoff. but this is really about whether or not the star running back at michigan is healthy. he got banged up and lacks the lack last game versus illinois.

whether he can come back will largely dictate with this offense looks like. they had been tested without a guy like him in the backfield. that's one of the bigger questions and whether or not ohio state's defense has made the changes they needed to under jim nobles. they are looked at as one of the most improved defenses this season, but this will tell the tale. i don't think they'll be able to keep pace with ohio state's passing. c.j. stroud is up for the heisman, he's phenomenal this year, and the best squad receiver in college football. i think michigan will have a hard time shutting him down. >> joey: if they lose this game close and the running back doesn't make it in the game, is there a chance they make it into the playoffs as a team that doesn't make it to the championship? >> i personally think so. and my needs and help. you've got an undefeated team in the big 12 the need to lose a game, or even a team like southern cal, who happens to

face my alma mater, notre dame, this week. that'll give a little more momentum in that case. if they do is to ohio state, and to be nonconference schedule. so they don't have quite as good of the resume. >> rachel: my cohosts say thanksgiving is their favorite holiday because it is food, football, and there are no gifts involved. tell me what you are thankful for, besides football, this thanksgiving. >> this is the first time i can recall in the past couple of decades that i've gotten to spend it with my family. for me, it's the service men and women who are protecting our country and allowing us to enjoy holidays like this at home with our family and friends. a big shout out and thank you to all the service men and women out there. >> rachel: happy thanksgiving to you and your family for all of us. by the way, this thanksgiving everyone has a chance to win a
