todd: we begin our final hour of "fox & friends" with a fox news alert. moments ago egyptian officials say they received a list of 13 israelis to be released today. jake sullivan said there is reason to believe at least one american is expected to be part of today's planned hostage release. rachel: this comes on the heels of 13 israelis including four children being freed yesterday evening bringing the total so far to 26. joey: alex hogan is live in jerusalem. she has the latest. alex. >> reporter: good morning. it is officially 4:00 p.m. local time, meaning we could start to see the release of more hostages from now, moving forward throughout the day and while we do expect potentially to see one american citizen among those, we will continue to wait and monitor all of these changes but we're also seeing more footage come you out of the reunions of these family members many take a look at this video, 9-year-old emily, an irish and israeli citizen, her father initially thought she had been killed before finding out she was taken hostage. like the boy released the day before, she celebrated her ninth birth die while held hostage. in exchange, israel released another 3 39 palestinian prisons in exchange for 13 israeli hostages, celebrations broke out to welcome these people home, people lined up in the streets, israelis threw watch parties and today the question is will americans be released today. this is what joe biden's administration had to say. quote, we're disappointed we haven't seen americans on the list yet but we're hopeful for the next couple days, we're hopeful we can keep a pause in place and exchange in place because we want all of the house hostages out. had in terms of the health of the hostages, doctors say it's been overall a much more positive response than what they initially had expected with the first two hostages today officially now leaving the hospital. israel also says that it's releasing a list of hamas commanders who were killed before the cease fire saying the idf put enough pressure on hamas that this cease fire needed to happen to give them some relief, according to the idf. take a listen to this sound bite. >> we wouldn't be in a state where hamas was releasing anybody if it wasn't for the military might of the idf and pressure we induced on hamas in thereafter seven weeks, they wouldn't have having to n motive them to hand over anybody. >> reporter: we are hearing more conversations of the cease fire being prolonged, israel saying it's something they're willing to do as hostages are released. this is getting a lot of pressure from the government of whether or not that will happen and a lot of pressure from the families too, demanding that to happen. joey. joey: thanks, alex. let's bring in fox news contributor katie pavlich to give reaction to this and other topics for today. katie, when we look at this-a- >> good morning. joey: the first thing i want to know, did the u.s. have to offer anything to get an american on this list? i know that's problem he bring going into the weeds of conspiracy but it really is odd that no americans were released and now one is being added to the list after a couple of days, potentially one, after a couple of days of that kind of being a headline. >> well, let's go back to last week when the biden white house released a video featuring spokesperson for the national security council, john kirby, essentially bragging about the fact that they got this cease fire and hostage deal done. now we're on day three of four of this cease fire when hamas is supposed to be releasing hostages every day in exchange for violent prisoner whose were accused and convicted of potentially murder in israel and we haven't seen a single american release yet. jake sullivan did say he hopes there will be one american on the list. egypt allegedly has the name of who that american will be. president biden is being a little aloof. yesterday he is shown in and out of shops in nantucket, reporters shouting questions about whether american hostages will be released and his answer is i hope there's good news soon and hope is not necessarily a strategy especially in situations like this. i will i also add that yesterday hamas delayed the release of hostages and has broken their end of the deal as hostages are taken out of the gaza strip, they're harassed with rocks thrown at them. they're failing to uphold their end of the deal in the sense they're not supposed to separate women from their children who are held in gaza. they've done that as well. so the psychological war fare is on full speed here and the biden administration, president biden himself hasn't been as forceful publicly as maybe he was earlier in the week with the victory lap on the video saying we're happy the cease fire has occurred. rachel: yeah. i mean, i'm just so surprised that they're not doing more. if nothing else, because they're being accused all the time, the biden administration, of being weak, they've been criticized for the money they gave for the hostages in iran had that perhaps that fueled this incident and gave money to hamas. so it just seems to me politically that they would put everything into it and they've come out so -- i mean, y truly empty handed in so many ways, katie. >> politically you've seen a little bit of a shift in terms of the language that we've seen. we saw for weeks on end to their credit the white house saying any kind of cease fire would only benefit hamas when you had the president speak on friday, he changed his language a little saying a cease fire was a good thing of course for hostage releases but you've seen this fraction in the democratic party, you've seen pro-hamas rallies happening all over the country, violence breaking out, american and israeli flags being burned and ripped out of the streets new york city an elsewhere and that pressure is something they're looking at in terms of the politics here which is really unfortunate given how high the stakes are for americans who are still being held by terrorist group in the gaza strip. todd: kaye yo -- katie, in new york city, there's a horrific incident where a teacher had to flee for her life. think about that, just for showing support for israel. mayor adams writing this statement on x, the vile show of anticipate semitism was motivated by ignorance fueled hatred and will not be tolerated in any of our schools let alone in our city. we are better than this. here's a quote from the teacher who was chased. i have been a teacher for 23 years in the new york city public school system for the last seven at hill crest. i worked hard to be supportive of our student body and advocate for our community and was shake to my core for the calls of violence against me that occurred last week. your reaction to the latest act of anti-semitism in a heavily jewish city like new york sigh and then the follow-up is, where are the democrat jewish leaders like chuck schumer in response to this? >> well, it's absolutely horrific that she was being chased by a mob and had to barricade herself inside of a classroom. we've seen this also on college campuses. rachel: exactly. >> had people had to hide in attics. it's not a good reference to what we've seen throughout the course of history here and we have a new generation and we saw this previously with the black lives matter riots that we saw raging through american streets, that they think that violence is the answer and that violence and a mob mentality is completely justified so long as you're fighting against the resistance or colonizers, here's a teacher who dedicated her life to making sure students have a future, teaching them how to learn and how to think critically and they wanted to essentially -- i don't know what their intentions were. when you're barricaded inside a classroom, have you to fear for your life and i assume she can't go back to that classroom as a result of what happened and you have to look at the indock cry nation, ideology, tiktok destroyed an entire generation and the facts surrounding these cases of morality and you should be able to go to a rally or stand for israel without getting mobbed and barricaded inside your own school fea fearing forr life. rachel: riley gates, a few months ago she was fearing for her life in a university where she went to speak up for women's rights in sports and she was barricaded into a room. ben shapiro, charlie kirk, candace owens, i wouldn't doubt if you went to a college campus something would happen to you or me. and i bet in that school if there was a student or teacher wearing a mag a g-2 -- maga hat, something to happen to them. this is so much bigger. it's really as you said, those people on the left who feel they have this moral superiority, that they are in the right, a that they have social justice is on their side, the arc of history is on their side, they feel they have a right to shut other people down and it's veering into violence, threats of violence, it's a very dangerous time. >> they've gotten away with it. there are no consequences for the mob-like behavior and a vie license which we've seen, the double standard of justice and of course it's going to differcontinueand now we're seeh anti-semitism all over the country with teachers, students, people who can't go to place ocs ofworship in a safe manner y it's spiraled out of control. rachel: jewish americans are joining conservative americans on what it feels like to be on college campuses, element schools and high schools. thank you, katie. so great having you on always my arizona friend. >> thanks, rachel. see you soon. thanks. todd: we had a great interview you did earlier on this sad tiktok video, a viral video posted by a pennsylvania mom, registered nurse, talking about how difficult it is to survive in joe biden's economy right now. let's take a look at the tiktok video and get into more of your interview with this young lady. watch. >> i feel like my husband and i are doing everything right. we both have good jobs. i'm a nurse. i'm a registered nurse. i work full-time. he works full-time. we just got paid this past friday, right? we paid the mortgage. bought some groceries. put some gas in the car. and guys, it is tuesday. we have like 2 or $300 so last until next friday. todd: that's a story you hear over and over and over again. the last three years. and th -- let's go to what her b is. she helps people. she helps people to live. she is a registered nurse. rachel: there's four jobs between she and her husband had. she's a nurse, he's a personal trainer and security guard and they both clean an office building once a week. they're not asking for a handout. they're wondering what's happening to this country that you can have a family with four jobs and they're still struggling to make ends meet. something is going on. she admitted to that in the interview. >> i'm just glad that my voice was unintentionally empowering to people to seek out and say me too, and you know share that we're all in the same situation with the economy and the price of groceries and gas and just the struggle of middle class america where we're working our butts off and we feel like we have nothing to show for it. prior to covid i was working as a correctional officer at one of the state prisons and we did not struggle as much as we do now and i make more than i did then now. joey: that last part there, she answered in response to your question basically has it always been this way for you, has it gotten worse lately and oddly enough she said at one point in the interview, when she was in school and he was working full-time it seemed like things were better but i want to go back -- rachel: what changed, joey? what changed? joey: i tell you what changed. i wrote it down right here. she said it in the tiktok video. paid the mortgage, bought some groceries, put ghast the car. she didn't go -- put gas in the car. she didn't go beyond that. that's three areas of the economy that joe biden does not have a good answer for. hold him accountable for what he can do, what he has done, what he will or won't do to fix it if reelected. she didn't want to get political. but this is the pol policies ane talking points, the issues that are facing like she said the majority of americans. rachel: she said i don't want to get political. most people are saying i feel you. i'm going through the same thing. i think it was very brave of her to put this on. you're absolutely right. these are direct policies from the biden administration. your gas prices are higher because of his war on american energy and his obsession with -- his donors' obsession and his obsession with green energy. the groceries are more expensive because we keep printing and spending money as a government and that's also increasing inflation. your mortgage rates are going up as well. everything is getting more expensive and these things were not like this just three years ago. this is the problem i think that joe biden's going to have with thistle ebbing. it wasn't -- this election. it wasn't 10 years ago that times were good. it was three, four years ago and people remember. todd: i'm so glad you said the word donor. the democrat donor class, are they feeling economic impacts of this? no, they actually make money when the interest rates are high and everybody else is suffering because they can't afford a mortgage. okay? but they're telling everybody oh, no, you should feel great because inflation has gone down. one iota. nobody is feeling in the real world the impact of that minor drop in inflation. i made the example earlier, if gas has gone up 50% and goes down 2, gas is still up 48%. rachel: that's right. todd: you're still feeling that. so yes, don't listen to what they're feeding you like you should be feeling better right now. no, you shouldn't. inflation is still ridiculously high to afford the basic necessities and that is wrong. rachel: that's why we have the tiktok videos coming up and they're all over instagram as well, people are so desperate that they're doing -- resorting to this to vent and find some solace in these hard times. joey: people choose to use tiktok and they put videos out there, that's not endorsement of the platform that's where people are. that's where they're voicing their opinions and concerns. she put it out there and i'm glad we found it. todd: during your headlines an investigation underway after a police officer was shot several times in chicago overnight. unclear what condition the officer's in after he was taken to the hospital. police believe a maroon suv found near the crime scene could be involved. police still searching for a suspect. shoppers, maybe you're one of them, spent nearly $10 billion online this black friday. it's the most ever according to abob analytics -- adobe analytics. spending was 7 and-a-half percent from last year. it's coming from consumers using phones and tablets. inflation is top of mind of shoppers who used buy now, pay later plans to help the strain on their wallets. are you ready for this? this will be amazing, the prime time debate, gavin newsom facing a off against florida governor ron desantis this thursday on hand at this. -- hannity. should i have said presidential candidate gavin newsom? desantis explaining why the debate matters on a nation ma nail scale. >> he is running a shadow campaign, even people in his own party are saying that. the stakes are really high for america. he is looming to potentially run for the democrats so we've got to be ready for that. todd: so ron agrees with me. i should have said and potential presidential candidate gavin newsom. watch the debate this thursday at 9:00 p.m. eastern. that's going to be great. i mean, i think, one, it's going to be great because it's going to be great tv. on the issues you'll see opposed views and leave it up to the american people to decide which one they like. rachel: where do you want to live, california or florida? joey: on one side you have a candidate that's done really good on policy for a lot of americans but struggled with messages. on the other side you have a candidate who told everybody i did it because i did it and that's why i did or something like that. rachel: he decided if chinese come we can clean up the streets. >> his presentation works for some reason. rachel: he's so good looking and rolls his sleeves up. i said this before. it does count for something. joey: anyway, coming up, back to our top sorry, families of hamas hostages including our next guest desperately await new about their possible release. and more than two dozen are freed by the terror group. our coverage continues, next beer for these holiday deals. that's why we've made black friday bigger and better with golden gable deals. for one week, discover the best savings of the year for your home. can we get real clear about life with psoriasis? yeah, i'm ready. is your treatment leaving you with uncontrolled symptoms? like the cover-it-ups and brush-it-offs? enough with good enoughs. don't stay hiding or hurting. ♪ when your lotions and creams don't do enough to help treat the inflammation beneath the skin, causing plaques and pain, it's time to get real about psoriasis, so, your dermatologist can help you get clear. make the appointment and ask about real clear skin. rachel: a fox news alert, desperate israelis waiting to learn whether their loved ones being held hostage will be among the next round of releases expected today. joey: including our next guest whose 22-year-old son suffers from a chronic stomach disease and is being held hostage after hamas massacred the music festival last month. todd: shi vankar joins us now from israel. thank you for joining us under these continual liss horrific situations. when you a await word that your son could be part of the release, how agonizing is waiting for that word? >> good morning. i welcome all the release of the hostages that are running to their families. this is a good day for us. we are probably -- you saw on the release of the hostages, but my demand still is to release all hostages, take them all out, and we demand it, the current deal will be conditioned by ensuring the security and welfare of the remaining hostages. my son has a disease and suffers enough in this difficult situation, in this stress, the colitis is going to be severe and he needs medical aid. there is a line in the agreement, the red cross needs to go inside to loo look out foe remaining hostages. so far, they don't do anything. the prime minister promised us. this is part of the deal. so we're waiting for the red cross to go inside. because it's a very difficult situation that they're captive, still inside. one gets the treatments as we ask and we demand it. rachel: so there were protests -- there have been a lot of protests in front of benjamin netanyahu's home, on the israeli side. so what is the political situation? where are the israeli people in terms of getting all of the hostages out and the delays that have been happening, the deals that are being made, and sort of making that a priority? because there's a lot of controversy. we've had generals on who say, well, getting the hostages and the cease fire is allowing hamas to regroup. the families of course saying the hostages and their lives need to be the priority. what's going on? how is that being debated in israel? >> whats is going on in israel are we're getting some solutions, also political, and also military solutions. i'm not a political guy. i'm not a military. i think they're doing the best, they need to take all hostages out. they assure us, this is the priority, take the hostages out. if we need to go inside again and to do the next step for the war, i think they should do it. this is my opinion. but i don't want any war. we need to stop this war. the hamas, isis, started this war on us on october 7th. i believe in the g
