from there. good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum here at fox news head quarters in new york. a stone's throw away from rockefeller center. a lot of news breaking at this hour. so two new released hostages. we'll have details in just a moment. we're waiting for more. this is the hour where we start to see the vehicles rolling and a whole new day for these individuals who are finally breaking out of a horrific captivity that began for them on the horrible day of october 7th. in new york, on the right-hand side of your screen, they are marking a day of solidarity with the palestinian people. there's been 700 protests since this all happened. we're going to show you what's going on live in the streets as a bigger crowd is gathering near the tree lighting. first, the idf is confirming that hamas has freed this mother and daughter today. a 73-year-old and 50-year-old. they're duel israeli russian citizens. that was a separate get dealt with by those two countries. so so far we have seen women and children, which was the first priority for these releases, released and united with their families, which is very good news. a lot of them are coming back to news that they had no idea of in terms of whats a happened to their families. so it's a bitter sweet mixed blessing, but obviously they are so grateful to be released. so now we understand that israel and hamas are considering keeping this going. opening a new phase of this truce. that's when we might start to see some nine americans who are all believed to be men who are being held released. that's a big priority for this country. military members also are believed to be in the next potential group. so israeli government spokesman avi hyman is with us live. first we go to nate foy in northern israel. hi, nate. >> hi, martha. there appears to be a delay in the transfer of ten israeli women hostages to the red cross. they're still in hamas' hands awaiting transfer to the red cross. we're working to learn why there's a delay. we'll keep monitoring that. you mentioned the two women that hold citizenship in israel and russia who are already in israel on their way to the local air base. take a look at this video. they spent 54 days in hamas captainivety. they were kidnapped back on october 7 from their kibbutz along with the daughter. so it's a mother and daughter and the daughter's son and girlfriend who remain in captivity in gaza right now. their release is considered a gesture by hamas to russian president vladimir putin who refuses to condemn the october 7 attack. this despite horrible sorries as the psychological story on hostages is more clear. take a look at these next pictures. some hostages were beaten, others lost weight. a 9-year-old little girl that was released sunday is afraid to make noise. listen to this. >> she only speaks in whispers because she was conditioned not to make a noise. she thought that she had been held hostage for a whole year. her faith is gaunt. >> just heart breaking to hear there, martha. the aunt of this 12-year-old boy calls hamas terrorists monsters who beat her nephew and watched -- forced him to watch video of the october 7th attack. this is the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen in gaza. this week three u.s. military flights will deliver humanitarian supplies there. u.s. secretary state antony blinken arrives in israel tomorrow as negotiations for a longer pause in the fighting continue. you mentioned it, martha. not only will the negotiations center around the release of american hostages, but also they're focusing on possibly releasing israeli men, even idf soldiers. so far israel has had to release three palestinian prisoners for every israel woman or child hostage. we'll see if those numbers change and we'll continue monitoring the release of the ten hostages that is currently underway. back to you. >> martha: we'll look for some new information on that. thanks. good to have you here, nate. with that, we go live to tel aviv and israeli government spokesperson avi hyman. thanks very much for being with us this afternoon. you obviously are watching this extremely closely. do we have any idea what the hold-up is? we've been waiting to see the other ten be released for the last hour or so. >> martha, thanks very much for having me on. sadly we've seen these games before. these psychological games by hamas. as if it wasn't enough that on october 7 they plowed through our borders, butchering families, burning entire families alive, killing children in front of their parents, parents in front of their children. if that wasn't enough and if it wasn't enough to take 240 hostages, now they have to play with the families, releasing children, leaving the parents, releasing parents, leaving the children. this is hamas. we know who we're up against. until those people are on israeli ground, we don't know their fates. >> martha: it's interesting to look back at how we got here. the priority of these hostages. initially what we heard a lot from the israeli government was that the first priority was to eradicate hamas, to end the threat, which is very important to israel and to release the hostages. there was a big movement a ground swell by these families. we have an image of avi brodich that kicked off this movement. he was sitting in front of a building with a sign. i think we have that image. that just said my family is in gaza. really the families pulled together so tightly to insist that they be the priority. even if it meant a pause in the fighting. what can you share with us about him, about this movement and about how you balance it with the fight. >> martha, contrary to that, from the very beginning of the operation, there were two missions of this war. one is not above the other. one is to destroy hamas militarily and on a government level to ensure that they do not rule gaza to free gaza from hamas. the other side by side is to free the hostages. we'll free the hostages if we need to do tamil theirly or free them as we're doing them now through this deal. if the deal breaks down, then we'll have to continue with the war and we will continue with the war and work to free the hostages. that is our mission. we stand shoulder to shoulder with israelis. wore all on the same page. but hamas needs to be something -- needs to go back to history. we need to secure our border from those savages because they have said they will do it again and again. that's where we are. >> thanks, avi. we'll be watching closely if we get an indication of the hold-up. we know from hostages that have been released, they say when they're in the vehicles, they're still obviously terrified because they don't know where they're being taken at that point. that's the limbo that these other ten are in right now. so avi, let us know if you get anymore information. thanks for being here. we'll speak with you soon. thank you. avi hyman from the israeli government. also breaking today, hamas claiming that its youngest hostage, this 10-month-old baby boy, kafir babas, who so many people have been praying for, there's some reports that he and other members of his family, his brother and his mother, may have been killed. major spielman from the idf will answer questions on that next. l, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. if you need cash for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. for almost 100 years, harry and david has been making gourmet gifts to share with loved ones near and far. because giving is about more than a day on the calendar. we believe the world would be a better place if we all shared more. harry and david. life is a gift, share more. your heart is the beat of life. if you have heart failure, entrust your heart to entresto. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor if entresto is right for you. dear moms and dads, what you have achieved here today is going to help us and our futures. it is why we're coming up on stage to collect your diplomas. mom, love you always. vo: when you graduate, they graduate. visit finishyourdiploma.org to find free and supportive (car engine revs) adult education centers near you. (engine accelerating) (texting clicks) (tires squeal) (glass shattering) (loose gravel clanking) . >> martha: more news on the ten hostages that there's some kind of hold-up. wire not sure exactly what it is. we'll continue to dig into that forry for you. right now the israeli military is investigate this heart breaking claim by hamas that 10-month-old kafir bibas, the younger of all the hostages who spent 1/5 of his life in their captivity and his mother and another toddler, the little boy in the middle, there's reports they're killed. everyone is hoping and praying this is not the case. the idf says the cruelty of hamas is on full display as everybody in the world has watched this family and others. so let's go live to tel aviv and major doran spielman. major, good to have you with us today. we all sort of catch our breath when we see this report. what can you tell us, what do you know? >> first of all, thanks for having me. this is as you mentioned a heart breaking story from the get-go. one of hundreds, but especially given the ages of the sweet little children on october 7th, the two children and the mother and father were in their community located a few kilometers from the gaza strip when terrorists yanked them out of their beds. a video was taken -- >> we have that. >> showing mother holding this little baby and her son to her chest. and that's the last we've seen of them since they were hauled enough to gaza. particularly cruel gesture, even -- >> martha: this video -- i want to show people this video that you're watching. this is sheree and her two sons. she was in the bomb shelter with her boys. that's why she has a blanket wrapped around herself and both of them. this is hamas with their hand on their family taking them away from their home and the husband was seeking safety. he put all of them in the bomb shelter. so what do we know now, major? how do you go about confirming this report from hamas? >> we do have -- we have initial information at the beginning of the week, which we did release that they had been traded by hamas to another organization and they were being held somewhere in the southern gaza strip. today hamas made this announcement that they had been killed. again, our hearts are with the family. we're assessing this based on all of our intelligence. both people on the ground, the information, all the ways that we've been able to gather intelligence now. part of that are the reports that hamas puts out. but we know the reports have often been wrong. we're hoping that this one is wrong. this is another example, not only was this family ripped out of their beds and the video that you showed us, but they were kept in an area by hamas strategically to protect them. the terrorists use these families to protect them. if they were hurt, it is just another example of how low hamas will go in order to try to cover their terrorist efforts. even a 10-month-old baby is not out of question for them. >> all right. thanks, doron spielman. thanks very much. we will continue to wait for more information. obviously very hard to deal with hamas and get clear communication despite the fact that these exchanges keep going on. thanks very much, major. >> thank you. >> so after causing major disruptions and 75,000 in damage to the historic new york city public library on thanksgiving day, officials are once again at this hour on high alert in midtown manhattan for pro-palestinian protests that are designed to flood the christmas tree lighting, their words, when they promote this event. we'll take you live to midtown manhattan as the crowds begin to gather next.

[chanting]. >> martha: bombs are dropping while you're shopping. obviously everyone has a right to protest. somebody that worked in counter terrorism, what are you concerned about tonight? >> what a way to win hearts and minds on black friday when you have a city still trying to recover from covid, the jobs that were lost to pull a stunt like that. expect more of that. they're advertising it across the internet. it's not just here in new york. there's counter terrorism concerns of course. there always are at the tree lighting. it's a large event, draws a lot of people. nypd intelligence and the jtf, the fbi will be doing a lot of things that you see and things you don't see. they'll be out there and in force. i'd say that in a general sense, it's going to be safe. we could have some protests. these are not legal protests. we should draw that distinction. you can protest in new york city, of course. it's your first amendment right. can't block streets or sidewalks. can't use what is called a sound reproduction advice, a megaphone or speakers without a permit. there's ways to enforce against this. let's just be clear. new york city seems to be making a decision that they're not going to enforce against this. empowers is enabled. this is what we're getting. >> martha: do we have something just in? yeah, this is the poster that they used to promote this to get people to flood the tree lighting tonight. so obviously these things spread like wild fire on social media. what goes through your mind as someone that works with the israeli consulate in new york city here? i was just there a couple weeks ago. when you see this, flood the tree lighting for gaza, obviously as we say, done correctly, they have the right to do it. are you surprised at the magnitude of it? >> no. we know the masses. they came after thanksgiving. now they're attacking christmas. we know they're against israel and the western values. make no mistake, the name pro-palestinian, they're not really pro-palestinian. anybody that cares for palestinian people wants hamas out of gaza. they are pro terror. it's the same people that came out on october 9th even before the idf launched an operation in gaza and called right out here in times square that resistance is justified. what is resistance, martha? decaptation of babies? the rape of women? these needs to be called for what they are. i want to remind our viewers, november 29th is not just sal dairy with the palestinian people, it's the day that the u.n. in 1947 accepted a resolution of establishing a jewish and arab state. are they celebrating a two-state solution? no, they're not. >> martha: i know president biden is pushing for a two-state solution. every time over the course of my lifetime that it's come even close, it all breaks down because eventually the palestinian side won't allow any deal that leaves israel in existence. that's the problem. i mean, these people are marching for a two-state solution. i want to play this from eric adams we saw this from a high school in new york city. you know, kid really, really fired up. you wonder about their education if they understand the dynamics of what's going on here. let's watcher rick adams for a second. >> our young people, their lives are on social media. and social media is filled with so much trash, so many lies, so many distortions. that is where they get their news. if we don't make these social media platforms more responsible, they are hijacking our children. >> there's a lot of truth in what he says. i've had my differences with the mayor idealogically and in terms of the enforcement. he's not wrong. there's a lot of disinformation out there. look, we all know these high school kids, i would say, probably 75% of them, i'm sorry, if you asked them to find the middle east open the map they wouldn't find it and yet they're out they're fired up, this is a force multiplier for the 1619 left. the real progressives. the same crew that we saw in 2020 in the wake of the george floyd thing. they're funded in the same way. we should be looking -- for instance, they destroyed the front of the library here in midtown. beautiful building. they're saying $75,000 to clean it up. they did the same thing to city hall. who pays for that? we do. the taxpayers pick that up. what about the groups that are funding this stuff? how is it that the day after they all have preprinted signs ready to go that are anti-israeli? a lot of planning here. i suspect a lot of foreign money. ways to get in front of this to shut it down legally. i don't see it happening. >> thanks very much. good to have both of you here today. >> thanks for having me. >> martha: careful on your way out. all right. so apparently believe all women doesn't apply when it comes to the united nations backing israeli women terrorized by hamas and yet they're very reluctant to call out hamas. watch a little piece of this. >> is there a reason, sarah, that you can't specifically call out hamas and the mounting evidence over seven weeks that israeli investigators have collected that we've shown our viewers about the atrocities that they committed specifically on october 7th? >> women specifically provides and has extensive knowledge on gender-based violence and provides and supports investigations as we do with all u.n. investigations. so consequently in this context and within the u.n. system, it is the independent international commission of inquiry which for us has the mandate to investigate all alleged violations. >> martha: wow! just let that sink in over the commercial break. tomi lahren is next. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. if you need cash for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. delicious too. just ask my old friend, kevin. nothing like enjoying a cold one while watching the game. who's winning?

oh, lordy. and you saw -- hope you saw the reporter. we showed what happened after that. because she said, you know, excuse me. can you just -- do you condemn hamas or not? then it went into a whole other word salad sort of explanation with words like context and providing and knowledge and supplying and supplementing. tomi lahren host of outkicks's "tomi lahren is fearless." we thought of you when we looked at this. for real people that watched what happened, why can't this would call it what it is? how do the founders of the united nations, you think this is what they had in mind? >> i looked up the priorities of u.n. women. they're supposed to be a global championship for women and girls. part of the priority is speaking out against violence against women, gender-based violence as you already stated. what that representative said there is a lot of nothing. she attempted to confuse viewers with a lot of words, a word salad. when you boil it down, she's refusing to condemn hamas. this doesn't surprise me. the u.n. as a whole for the last ten plus years has been an activist organization. not only u.n. women by the feminist movement in general for at least the last five years is made up of nothing but activists that care about abortion rights and not about women. so their priorities to me, they can confuse us with a lot of words, but it's clear that they don't stand up for all women, just the women that their activists support. >> martha: you have to wonder, what is the goal of this organization? that this woman works for? i think about the uighurs, the -- all of these -- what have they done to make any of these situations better? they have no ability it appears to actually call out the kind of clear behavior and violations of what they're supposed to be speaking out against. it is so pathetic, tomi. billions of dollars support this organization. if you're one of these women that got -- think of shani loc. she was thrown half naked in the back of a pickup truck and paraded around in front of people. this woman, could she give her anything more than just complete platitudes like she read them all of a document? >> right. i think defund the u.n. is something that needs to be dis discussed. they talk a lot, meet, pat themselves on the back. when it comes down to it, they do nothing to advance human rights. we're talking about u.n. women and furtherering the rights and empowerment of women. i don't know if they have taken a are look at the hamas charter. not very favorable to women at all. they should be the loudest voices especially in they call themselves u.s. woman against hamas. if they care about the palestinian women, they should be speaking out against hamas not only to israelis but to their own people. it's time to make defund the u.n. and take a look at their priorities. >> martha: voices of gaza is a litany of young women that live in gaza begging for freedom from hamas. apparently this woman is not aware of that situation. if she is, she's willing to cover it up. so crazy. tomi, thanks very much. thanks for jumping in. good to have you with us. okay. this is breaking right now. president biden is about to take the stage at the world's largest facility for wind turbine towers this hour. it's in colorado. he's really trying to hold together the green energy plan that has taken serious hits in execution and funding and the ability to get these things off the grounds. high costs forced five major offshore wind projects. we have covered this extensively here on "the story." they're falling apart. they can't finish these projects. the contracts are being pulled out of by european companies after leadership and governors and states up and down the atlantic coast sold leases to the ocean up and down the entire east coast to these companies. now they're like we can't do it. bill hemmer will join us in just a moment. first to edward lawrence what nails this down for us at the white house. hi, edward. >> you said it, the president will speak about his climate agenda and bidenomics and how that marshes together. he will say that companies will spend or have pledged to spend $7 billion in investments in clean energy. what he will not talk about is the green push losing steam. the companies involved in major offshore projects that you have covered have trouble financing those projects to keep going. the largest offshore wind company scrapped two projects off of new jersey and suspended work in maryland and delaware. the president last says that they need to reassess. >> so whatever your long-term goal is, don't shut down your energy independence, which we've done. don't go to unproven methods. do that gradually and make sure the market wants it. you know what the default is here? do it all, borrow every penny along the way and that's being measured in the trillions. >> some of those that believe in the clean agenda have also started to question the pace. in an exclusive interview with fox business, dr. raj shah the president of the rockefeller foundation says the transition needs more time. listen. >> and you know, like any government program, it takes time for these programs to be ironed out and become part of the day to day lives of families and consumers. that's the hard work that the administration is doing and should keep doing. that's what changes kitchen table and pocketbook realities for america's families. >> sources are telling us the president is telling his close aides to speed up the forced transition. martha? >> martha: thanks. so bill hemmer joins me now. great to have you with us. thanks for being here. this was very central to joe biden's campaign in 2020. he won in colorado by 13 points over president trump. so it's a place where he feels that he has a solid base. this is a rough going. ce that >> you referred to it. when you force feed the consumer, the consumer is do i want to eat what you're giving me or make my own food here? i thought what happened in connecticut yesterday was extraordinary. connecticut is a blue state. they have not had a republican governor in 12 years. the last time the state house had a republican majority was 1986. you weren't even born. 1986. and the democratic governor yesterday said we're on a plan right now to get rid of our gas cars in 12 years but we don't have a plan to make it work. they pulled the plug on it literally. at the same time, he had the 3,000 auto dealerships that said slow your roll on this whole idea about electric vehicles on america's newsroom earlier today. dana and i had a guy on new jersey. normally in our dealerships, a new car will sit there for three months. then we'll move it. our electric vehicles are sitting there for 12 months. he called tesla a vanity project. a vanity purchase for people that got the extra money to buy a second car and most people are not like that. they don't like it cost more money to set up a charging station in their house. even though you get deep discounts on electric vehicles, they're not moving them. this is a big push here in colorado. it's happening during an election year. you know where his voters are when it comes to climate change. he is still trying to make this happen. the market is saying, as they said in the letter yesterday, pump the brakes. >> martha: you've seen it in the u.k. and other places as well. tapping the brakes as you said on a lot of these projects because when they start -- it's almost like they didn't calculate how difficult and costly these things would be and do a very basic cost benefit analysis as to whether or not it works. i just have to wonder with these wind turbine projects in the ocean, will they start bailing them out? >> good question. you and i talked about this more than a year. of disruption ther must be at the base of these did your combines on the floor of the ocean to make sure that they can withstand the force of a hurricane wind. it's extraordinary. i think green energy will be here eventually. but you can't get there before it's time. i think that's what the market is saying. the other thing to keep in mind when the president comes out talking about bidenomics. he's in congressional district three in colorado. democrats think they can flip lauren boebert's seat. that was the closest election we had. that's part of the reason why he's there today. realtor.com came out with a measure of what they think will happen in 2024. keep in mind right now, everybody says the economy is issue number 1. it's number 1 for pocket books for people all across the country going in to this election season. they believe the real estate market will have lower prices by 1.7% for a home. now, that may matter to some people. but 1.7% really doesn't move the meter. they predict by the end of 2024, we'll be through this election, they think interest rates on average will be 6.8%. right now you're 7.5. higher than that. so half a point might matter to some people. but i just don't think it's going to move the meter when it comes to this economy. >> martha: bill, before i let you go, we're in the middle of supporting two very big war efforts. one in europe and ukraine and the other in the middle east with israel right now. you have a prime seat to ask some serious questions about all of this at the reagan defense forum tomorrow and through the weekend. tell us about that. >> well, we've been doing this every year for some time now. it's a great opportunity to get in to the minds of not only political leadership but those in the military business in america today. what is extraordinary to me, every year we go, there's a different topic top of mind. last year was hypersonic missiles. the concern was that we're behind china and russia, which we still are. this year now you have these -- you know, feels some days like the world is on fire, whether it's ukraine, or the middle east or whether it's iran or whether it's our u.s. forces under attack seems by the day. you have china and taiwan. there's so many hot button issues for this reagan forum that we will dive in to it. >> martha: thanks for coming by. good to see you. a coalition of more than a dozen religious groups backing israel and jewish people everywhere. we'll speak to the man leading that charge in the face of a lot of opposition next. my mental health was much better. but i struggled with uncontrollable movements called td, tardive dyskinesia. td can be caused by some mental health meds. and it's unlikely to improve without treatment. i felt like my movements were in the spotlight. #1-prescribed ingrezza is the only td treatment for adults that's always one pill, once daily. ingrezza 80 mg is proven to reduce td movements in 7 out of 10 people. people taking ingrezza can stay on most mental health meds. ingrezza can cause depression, suicidal thoughts, or actions in patients with huntington's disease. pay close attention to and call your doctor if you become depressed, have sudden changes in mood, behaviors, feelings, or have thoughts of suicide. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including angioedema, potential heart rhythm problems, and abnormal movements. report fevers, stiff muscles, or problems thinking as these may be life threatening. sleepiness is the most common side effect. it's nice. people focus more on me. ask your doctor about #1 prescribed, once-daily ingrezza. ♪ ingrezza ♪ veteran homeowners need cash but worried you can't get a home loan because of your credit?

(music ends) >> a woman daring down the american and israeli flags at a bagle shop in miami beach and then she puts them together on the ground and stomps on them. so she's on the loose. she was not caught for this. it was picked up on the surveillance camera outside the shop. today there was a very interesting statement that was made, a lengthy statement, on the floor of the united states senate by majority leader chuck schumer. she questioned in part of it the integrity or the thinking of some of his fellow democrats and their reactions to what they're seeing in this country. watch this. >> not long ago, many of us marched together for black and brown lives. we stood against anti-asian hatred, protested bigotry against the lgbtq community. we fought for reproductive justice. out of the recognition that injustice against one oppressed group is injustice against all. in the eyes of some, this principle dos not extend to the jewish people. >> martha: mitch mcconnell came out and said that he closely associates himself with the comments of senator schumer. he got a lot of praise for what he said today. religious leaders echoing those concerns about calling on congress to stand by israel in their war against hamas and to fight anti-semitism here at home. writing we represent many faith traditions and have come together in one united voice to defend our shared humanity against barberism and terrorism. ralph reid is here, founder and chairman of the faith coalition who is leading these religious groups efforts calling on action from congress. ralph, good to have you here today. what is your reaction to what senator schumer said? what did you take from it? >> i was very pleased, i was moveded by it. it was a profile in courage given sadly where the progressive left of the democratic party is today. that's why we felt like we had to make the statement that we made monday when we released our letter. as you mentioned, signed by some of the most prominent faith leaders in american calling for the passage of an immediate military aid package to israel so that they can win this war on gaza and defeat and degrade hamas. but we believe even more importantly as important as that is, dealing with the real problem, which is their pay master. the radical regime in iran. we want to $6 million that the biden administration has released to iran to be frozen. we want the maximum pressure act passed so we reimpose crippling sanctions on their energy and energy programs. they use those billions to fund terrorism throughout the world. finally, we believe that religious bigotry against any group is a threat to all people of faith and all of our common humanity. we just did not feel that we could remain silent. >> martha: you know, it's interesting. it seems that there's now a couple of different areas that it's okay to openly criticize. i thought it's interesting that he mentioned the specific groups that he had supported and marched with. he was taken aback that those same people who marched with him after george floyd or for trans rights or lgbtq rights that now they were turning on him. he expected that they would be there in this effort as well. what does that say about where we are as a country, ralph? >> well, it's very scary. october 7th was the worst massacre of jews to occur since the holocaust. the worst single attack on the state of israel since the founding of the modern state in 1947. it's starting to look in our on country, even though we said for decades, never again and never forget, that it ripped the scab off of a simmering and dark and dangerous anti-semitism. we've got to do something to fight it. >> martha: and you know, it's important to recognize the palestinian people need to be freed from hamas. and we will continue to cover this story. thanks, ralph reed. good to have you with us today. >> you bet. thank you. >> martha: that's "the story" for this wednesday afternoon. we'll be watching what goes on in midtown in the coming hours at the tree lights. great to have you with us. see you tomorrow. >> neil: fox on top of a world on edge yest
