too. let's bring in craig patrick to break this all down. this is a lot in one day, craig. >> yeah, we industrial more to come. let's start with trump having some tense moments when he met with national news anchors and from there he scold new york times as he ought does through twitter and said he would not meet with the times editorial board, but then he changed his mind on that. and in the course of the meeting that played out just a short time ago, he appeared to have changed his mind on a couple of other things. this came out, first off, appoint a special prosecutor to investigate hillary clinton. even said that if he became president she'd be in jail. but now as president-elect, trump is repeatedly saying he is not interested in investigating hillary clinton, because he's now focused on moving an agenda through his first 100 days. he also told the times that he has an open mind when it comes to climb mate change, that he sees some connection between human activity and a changing climate. on the campaign trail he has

trump previously said he would build a wall across the southern border but could be scaled back to a fence in places. bottomline we're seeing some changes in the president-elect's positions and prior gets well before he takes office. by the way, he did not mention repealing obamacare or building the wall. and as you two have messaged to the nation, he still wants to do those things for sure but appears to be focusing on what he thinks he can accomplish early next year right out of the gate. cynthia. >> speaking of which, you know, it was a youtube message, not have this big news conference and talk about the transition. so do you think that gives us a clear as to how he may govern as president? it absolutely does. and we're going to see much more of that. because trump obviously has had a contentious relationship with the national news media. that is something that actually served him pretty well on the campaign trail. and so far he is carrying that forward by not holding a press conference, for example, and expect that he will before long,

news media that he's had some tense moments with, and with this youtube video, able to speak directly to the american people and get his message across on his own terms. now, he gave several different examples of things that he hopes to accomplish, one of them that i think you will see within his first 100 days is an infrastructure plan, a plan that i think deposition and republicans can both embrace in terms of investing more and building roads and bridges. i think that's why he's pressing th into january. >> all right, thanks so much. craig patrick. and another new record on wall street, in case you haven't heard, the dow closed the highest ever in its 120-year history, above 19,000. it's a big number. discount store chains led the way higher after strong earnings. the dow up 67 points to cross that 19,000 line. the nasdaq was up 17. the s&p rose by 4. penelas park firefighters give thanksgiving meals to 13

holiday shopping season holiday shopping season holiday shopping season is here, and today johns hopkins all children's hospital held itself annual press conference to keep the public up to date on toy safety, recalls and consumer rights were all covered. dr. joe was there. what about the recalls? well, it turns out just because

mean you can't still buy it online. it is illegal, but apparently it does happen. le they showed us a remote control flying toy looked like a drone, that was recalled in june because the charger cord overheated. they bought that online a few days ago. a xylophone, also it was recalled last february. the pink paint contains lead levels that exceed the limits. again bought online. they also showed us a pencil case, it's a disney pencil case and has these automatically close, kind of like our purse does. if they're beau swat ohed together, win's in the stomach and one in the intestine, what can happen is there could be tissue damage or obstruction of the intestine. these are just a few of the examples. i've got the link of the entire report on our web site and also on my facebook page. >> so any toys people need to

weren't recalled? >> yeah, riding toys, things like bikes where kids maybe get a bike that's too big for their child so they grow into it, there are accidents or falls or fractures. they get hit by a cars. he said, you know, and really truly a lot of the injuries could be avoided they just wear their helmets so make sure that they're wearing those. he talked about choking hazards. they can swallow coins very easily. and the doctor says despite the warnings they're still seeing the kids in the e.r. wall ising the button batteries. >> the problem is the battery disibility greats and then the chemical and charge and start to break down the tissue, especially in the nose and food pipe or in the gastrointestinal track. over my career i've seen very, very bad outcomes because a

little too long and caused a lot of trouble. >> you don't want it to be there a little too long or at coal all and if you think your child has swallowed one, you can take them to the e.r., they can see it on x-ray. if it's not there, you can just go home. >> so what's your best advice for parents now that they're starting their christmas shopping? >> make sure all family members and anybody else that buy gifts for your children, they are also careful. make a list. check it ag the other thing they advise is to take this, it's a toilet paper roll. if it fits inside this toilet paper roll then you can consider it a choabing hazard. that's especially important for kids under the able of 3. >> good advice. all right, scott's at bucs' headquarters. what's going on there? it's a fun night and we're

adopted the little kitten. so he's home for thanksgiving. >> nice.@ >> good time to be in the storm drain when it hasn't rained in a month half. >> that's right. could have been bad. >> the weather looks good. we need the rain. when you go the that 75ish for a high and then 50ish for a low, it's pretty good. >> very nice. >> sunset a few minutes up. 77 degrees today. we stay near or slightly above average into the weekend and maybe another cold front arrives next week. kind of iffy on how it will play

one thing i do know between now and sunday we'll stay primarily rain-free. almanac data today, 77. right on target, the average high and record high 85 set back in 1947. 49 degrees this morning. you've got very cold last night around 10:00, 11:00 and then it cooled general lan wind coming in from the east-northeast. not much of a sea breeze today. perhaps a bit of a sea breeze tomorrow and right now it is delightful. have you ever in tampa, 70 in st. pete. the air remains ridiculously dry. yesterday we had a dewpoint of

has a dewpoint of only 36 degrees. you don't see that too often in our state. winds are light generally from the east and northeast. outside now, 75. the dewpoint at 40. winds northeast at 6. around the country it's quiet in the southeast there's a batch of rain that turns into snow up by minneapolis. these lows will march country and throw rain and snow in the northeast for a couple of days and maybe some in chicago for tomorrow. bristol 53. tampa 75. last night during my 11:00 broadcast, brandon was 41, and at the same time, denver was 47. that's some cold air kind of diving down the east coast. raleigh 50 and buffalo at 34. so tonight pretty seasonable. we bought him out in the mid-50s and tomorrow another

maybe a half day tomorrow from work. that sounds good. 75 to 80, and thanksgiving's a good travel day. high pressure is locked in across the carolinas. this cold front gradually moves our way. but i think pretty much runs out of steam, not a lot from that front on thursday and friday. but eventually there should be a push of lightly drier weather arriving for the weekend, but still the prospects of rain from this front remain very low. the best chance of rain that i can see could hpe and then is kind of iffy. mostly clear and milder tonight. down to 58. we've got sunshine on your wednesday. highs up to 77. as advertised, thanksgiving day, looks great. 79 for a high. lots of sunshine and mild. and the weekend looks good. big game for the buccaneers on sunday against the seattle seahawks. weather should be great for that 4:00 tilt. 75 degrees on sunday, and maybe a small chance of rain on tuesday, and a better chance of
