welcome to disney springs. your place to shop, dine, and be entertained like never before. ((russell- a message from the president-elect. >>russell: a message from the president elect, something that he wants all of us to try doing. he's praying for it this thanksgiving. >>laura: and the benefits of being thankful. why your maral status and gender may help. >>russell: need 100 million reasons to be thankful?

welcome to the 7:00 hour of "good day." i'm russell rhodes. >>laura: and i'm laura moody. it's ahead and a whole lot more. first your holiday forecast from dave osterberg. >>dave: up and at em and the best holiday. just my opinion. 63 degrees in the tampa net cam, showing us how gorgeous it is. sun came up a couple of minutes ago. maybe you're going for a walk along the beach this morning. that looks stunning with a temperature of 64 57. everybody is mild. it's going to be a nice, warm afternoon. clouds and sunshine and high temperatures today around 80 degrees. enjoy it. >>laura: thank you, dave. new this morning, pinellas county detectives identify the man they fatal the shot during a confrontation last night. >>russell: william beavers told

him. he deputies were responding to a fight between beaver and his girlfriend. deputy green has been put on routine, paid leave until the investigation is done. >>laura: police are charging johnny moore with second degree murder. he's accused of killing his friend, randall wright. wright was found after reports of a gunshot. neighbors say moore was living in a camper on the property and an officer saw that camper on u.s. 301 near martin luther king, we have not been told a motive yet. >>russell: florida state student accused of killing a couple on the east coast had no lawyer says he's mentally ill. (laura) solutions in his system. his lawyer says he's mentally ill. >>laura: and president elect

he sent a message on social media. here it is. >> it's my prayer that on this thanksgiving, we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country, strengthened by shared purpose and very, very common resolve. >>laura: president elect trump went on to acknowledge that tensions will not heal overnight. he is spending his day at his estate in florida. thanksgiving may be the quintessential holiday. >>russell: two election and it's probably a good time to remind ourselves we all have a reason to be thankful. as doug reports, it doesn't matter what party you belong to. >> clearly donald trump has a lot to be thankful for this thanksgiving, preparing to move into the white house and implementing a vision he spoke about on the campaign trail, plus his administration is quickly taking shape. >> people that, as i say, we will make america great again.

night live points out, now is the hard part. >> google what is isis? >>russell: and obviously democrats may feel a little less than thankful about the current political plight but as they regroup, there is, in this, perhaps an opportunity. >> being in opposition is a clarifying experience. as republicans found in the obama era, it was much simpler and much easier to be in opposition than it is to have promulgate your own policies and put things forward. >> there's no question, thanksgiving and the rest of the holiday season may be rough sledding for democrats here on capitol hill and this may be the calm before a long storm. who may be the most thankful for their political lot this thanksgiving? maybe the obamas who now get to leave all of this behind. >> what i do know is that i have to take michelle on vacation. >> thankful that election season

>>russell: well, you can call it the trump bump. dow is at a record. the nasdaq is the s&p 500 both up as well. president elect trump will be happy to know that his star is back on the hollywood walk of fame. took awhile. workers had to replace it after a vandal hit it with a sledge hammer and ax last month. trump got his star in 2007 when he was starring on that show "the apprentice." >>laura: at least two turkeys will enjoy freedom the rest of their lives. president obama gave tater and tot the traditional pardon. 40 pound birds from iowa will spend the rest of their days at a new farm in virginia called gobbler's rest. typically the president has two daughters with him for the turkey pardon. not this time around. they had other things to do, they say.

took it in stride. here it is. >> sasha and malia are thankful this is my final presidential turkey pardon. what i haven't told them yet, we're going to do this every year from now on. no cameras, just us every year. no way i'm cutting this habit cold turkey. >>laura: not bad. this tradition of the presidential pardon goes back several first public event was with kenry in 1963 and nixon and ford shows not to pardon turkeys. the tradition came back in 1989 and has been a regular event ever since. >>russell: metropolitan ministries are serving a bunch of turkeys today. shayla reaves went to check on the meal preparations. good morning.

russell. all the volunteers are doing their part to make sure some 6,000 people have a thanksgiving meal. you're looking at some of the work happening right now. this crew here is working on vegetables. i'm toll it's going to take some 1,300 pounds of vegetables to feed thousands of people here in the community. but you can't just have the turkey and not have the stuffing. i'm here with ruth anne. she's been morning. tell me, this is your first time to help out at metropolitan ministries. why did you decide to come? >> i've heard so many wonderful things and they do so much for the community. it's impossible not to be here. >>reporter: what are you working on? >> stuffing. >>reporter: and you didn't come along. you brought a couple of young ladies with you. what do you hope they take away from being part of this today? >> i would like to make this an active part of life.

else around me. >>reporter: and i understand you all are working on stuffing right now and there will be no shortage of things to do. ruth anne is just one of the many people here in the kitchen who decided to start the morning out by giving back a little bit of their time. i'm going to step over here just a second and give you another look at the kitchen. this crew here is working on venl t-- vegetables and throughout the kitchen there are different stations set up and people are working on their part to make sure fil some of the stations include mashed potatoes. they are working on gravy. 80 gallons of gravy are needed for this operation. and then 1,000 pies, each one has to be sliced and each slice will be heading out of this kitchen shortly. so the community meal is coming up at 11:00 today but certainly the folks in this room, we're told that some of the preparation began last week.

course, is the final preparation, the stuffing, the turkey, the mashed potatoes, the gravy, each one of the items that i just mentioned will be making its way out of this kich republican and into the mouths of people not only here in hillsborough county but also pasco county and pinellas county as well. each volunteer giving their time to make this day a little bit brighter for another family in our community. back to you. we'll see you later. thank you. >>laura: all right. we're going to take a look at roads right now. man, is that nice or not? pretty empty. most people are already where they're going to be today. a few will be travelling today and others will hit the road later this afternoon. 49 million americans took a trip of 50 miles or more this holiday season. most of them will be heading out on sunday so be careful. don't think about that just yet. enjoy where you are. >>russell: exactly.

the balloons that will stand out today at the macy's parade. >>laura: and something else, too. plus a scary thought for parents. staggering number of children who have been the victim of stalking. and the long-term effects are alarming. >>dave: time is 7:10 on a lovely, lovely thanks giving morning. happy thanksgiving to you. getting up, out and about and ready to crank through the lovely holiday. we're starting at 49 degrees in brooksville. trust me, it's not going to last long now t we have 63 in tampa. a lot of mid to upper 50s as we're inland and the overall forecast today, 80 for a high today. 80 for a high tomorrow. a little drier for the second half of the weekend and maybe a shower next week? i don't know. we'll talk about it in a few minutes. but first, i almost forgot, let's go to break with just one of the best thanksgiving clips

? think of your fellow man. ? ? lend him a helping hand. ? ? put a little love in your heart. ? ? ...and if you're lookin' down, ? ? put a little love in your heart. ? ?put a little love in your heart.? ? in your heart. ? (avo) the subaru share the love event is happening now and will have given ninety million dollars

(dave- >>dave: here's a sight you're not going to snow falling in tokyo this time of year. in fact, this is the first november snowfall in the japanese capital in more than 50 years. you have to go all the way back to 1962. something peaceful about a nice, freshly fallen snow. as long as you don't have to go to school in it or drive in it or do anything outside, just watch it fall. it's pretty. there are places that are

areas to the north, it's not whether they have a white christmas. it's do we have a white thanksgiving and i can tell you that upstate new york does. i'm looking at the radar out of the corner of my eye. we're sitting at 57 degrees in lakeland. 51 in brooksville. 63 in tampa, 64 in st. petersburg and 63 in sarasota. now, you compare this to yesterday at this time and it's about four to eight degrees warmer than it was yesterday. so central florida just in november. again, the only thing we can say negatively is has it rained in the month of november but it's going to be a gorgeous day. you're going to enjoy it. there's nothing to worry about if you're travelling around, really the entire southeast. it's once you start going further north. i'm not saying you're going to have big airport delays because a lot of people will actually fly on thanksgiving itself just to save, you know, the time and

little bit further north but in general, it's not tremendous. do you know what i mean? you can deal with a few showers or a couple of snow showers there in upstate new york. a couple of light rain showers over ralraleigh, going back to t virginia. i think the worst every the weather is the pacific northwest. heavy rain is coming down in parts of washington and oregon but then it changes to higher elevation snows. in general, i'm talking aut i think you're going to be okay. for those going to the macy's day parade, it's cold. then i sit there and think, how are those people doing their dances and their cheers and jumping around in shorts and t-shirts? it is what it is. mostly sunny, warm today, 80 degrees. i think we'll top 80, especially away from the water. then tonight, mild. don't be surprised if you have

morning. there could be a little hint of fog and those fog favored areas. not a big deal. low of 65 degrees. and then for tomorrow, more sunshine and again, your temperatures should get back up to around 80. i'm thinking great boating. a lot of people like to get the early morning boating in, maybe some of them catch their thanksgiving dinner. why not, right? 80 degrees for a high temperature tomorrow. 79 on saturday. you might notice a the big difference is you're going to notice it's drier on sunday and then just a 30% rain chance that we have for you coming in by the middle of next week. all in all, a very nice seven-day outlook. >>russell: 9:00 this morning the macy's thanksgiving day parade starts in new york city. >>laura: and we have a live look as they get ready there in new york city. they're ready and waiting. parade always draws a huge crowd. they expect 3 1/2 million people to line the streets.

watching from home. and there are 16 giant character balloons in this year's parade, including the trolls, plus new versions of felix the cat and charlie brown. there's been snoopy, never a charlie brown. macy's day parade has more than 60,000 participants and 1,000 clowns. marching band from newsome high school in hillsborough county is there, too. and that is the spotlight for us. >>russell: let's talk about the ba lns for a minute. red morph inpower ranger, 178 people. tallest is elf on a shelf, 64 feet. there's a tie for the widest balloon between trolls and hello kitty at 38 feet. here we go with snoopy. it's made the most appearances, 39 since the debut of the parade 90 years ago and snoopy, not in the lineup this year. >>laura: not in the lineup?

>>laura: peanuts are represented. all right. some of you will spend a lot of dough on thanksgiving between the food and shopping and lauren simonetti breaks down some business of thanksgiving. >> many retailers are closing doors on thanksgiving day, but that does not mean there aren't big bucks behind the turkey and stuffing. the american farm bureau federation says the average turkey day feast will cost less than $5 a person. >> the highlights of this year's thanksgiving day surveys for first time since 2014, we see the cost of a thanksgiving dinner for 10 below $50. we've seen turkey prices come down. we've seen milk prices come down and ultimaely that leads to some relief for the consumer at the retail level. >> americans consume 45 million pounds of turkey on thanksgiving day alone. of that figure, 20 million pounds of it is butterball which is pretty amazing if you think of it. consumers, they want to have that picture perfect turkey,

>>ru >> americans will gobble up 80 million pounds of cranberries. ocean spray will get about $2 million in sales. >> experts say you should have a plan before the shopping spree begins. >> black friday and consumers. it's hard to figure out what to buy, what to wait on. my recommendation would be to focus on three categories that are the most deeply discounted around this time which would be electronics, also apparel and accessories and then beauty items. >> thanksgiving is also one of the busiest travel days of the year. 63% of people plan to drive to their destinations with more than half travelling more than 200 miles.

calls today. they've had operators work around the clock for two weeks, answering questions about the turkey, how long to thaw it, how long to cook it. 1-800-butterball. apparently they're changing with the times, too. they're answering texts. >>russell: so we tested it. i tested it. and i texted them earlier. can i thaw my turkey in the microwave? and the answer, great question. there are options. thaw in fridge, for every four pounds. we are beyond that. or quickly thaw using the cold water method and it gives you a link to get there. butterball says, we do not recommend microwave thawing. they're answering. they're up. they're answering. there it is. >>laura: better make the sides really good. >>russell: or find a pizza. coming up, how much the next

>>laura: and your marital status may see a lot about your level of gratitude and gender, too. first jennifer epstein is at the turkey trot this morning. so excited to be there. >>jennifer: good morning. you said -- >> good morning. >>jennifer: he wanted to say good morning. >>laura: oh, no. >>jennifer: what was to random. anything goes at the turkey trot. you know that. you told me, no, no, no. don't do it. >>laura: you can't help yourself. >>jennifer: i got a turkey hat. thanks to my friend jan, she gave me this. but today isn't about me. it's about the runners. sweaty, hot, probably hungry runners here. this is the first race. it's the wing ding. matt mc gee finished in first place and here are the rest of them coming through the finish line. it's going to be a very happy thanksgiving here in clearwater and the rest of "good day."

one of the pioneers is open in manhattan. it has rooms that take up just 160 square feet each. >> you need a great bed, a great sleeping experience, a great bath experience, great shower. give guests everything they need and 150 or 160 square feet and then provide these common spaces where community, where people can come together. >> they use efficient storage design, desks, smart technology. each room features large windows with city views, some even have an outdoor ter rterrace. >> when guests check in, they only pay for what they're going to use. when i travel, i don't like paying for things i'm not going to use. i want to have an option of consuming something. >> they have some established competition. pod brand is credited with
