season and much cheaper. yeah. it's one of my secrets that's out there. >> steve: secret $ $61 fay from chicago to phoenix colleen kennedy -- i have a friend named colleen kennedy. colleen kelly, thank you for joining us live. >> you bet. >> steve: second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> lawrence: we begin the second hour of "fox & friends" fox news alert. now in a the final cease-fire. israeli hostages and palestinian prisoners do to be released. 14 more hostages freed yesterday bringing the total number to 40 over the last three days. >> steve: trey yingst is live at schneider children's medical center in israel where it's 2:00 in the afternoon. trey? >> hey, guys, good morning. for the third straight evening last night. a group of hostages was released by hamas as part of this broader cease-fire deal. we are talking about 14 israeli nationals and three thai citizens. nine children and two mothers were flown by helicopter to this hospital. just outside of tel aviv, where they are receiving treatment at this hour. among that group, 4-year-old abigail, an american-israeli citizen. so often she was spoken about as a symbol of hope in israel and across the united states. yesterday, president biden speaking with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu about her case. both leaders excited she was out of gaza and on that list yesterday. now today we have been speaking with family members of the children at schneider's children's hospital about what this experience has been like for them reuniting with their loved ones. take a listen though grandmother who describes what it was like to see her grandchildren after more than 50 days. >> we hug them a lot, again and again and again. we cry a lot. we laugh a lot. it was like like -- like a wave, like a storm all the feelings flow up. it was amazing. >> as the israeli government works diplomatic channels to get more hostages out. we know israeli leadership is trying to show the world more about what happened in these small communities on october 7th. today, elon musk, visiting israel alongside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the pair toured the small kibbutz along the did gaza border to see the aftermath of that massacre. guys? >> >> steve: today is the last day of the four day cease-fire both sides are willing to talk about extending it but the devil is in the details. >> absolutely. we have been talking with regional intelligence sources and also people directly involved in the negotiations. we know the qataris and the egyptians working overtime today to try to get this deal expanded. the initial agreement says that 10 hostages would have to be released for every additional day that sees a pause in fighting. anyone listen to this government spokesperson who described what the next phase of this conflict will look like. >> and we want to see the second stage of that agreement go into place, to the extent is hamas is interested to releases who hostages i have seen they can't locate them that is horrific beyond measure and beyond comment. we suggest if hamas is interested in extending that hostage release pause for additional pause in the fighting to get the list of the names it is wanting to release. >> the israelis are going to do everything possible to use these diplomatic channels and get hostages out of gaza. but we have a firm understanding from the leadership that we have talked to and also members of the military who say that once this cease-fire is over. they will resume all ground and air campaigns against gaza. guys? >> ainsley: trey, you are at the schneider children's hospital that's where we saw that 9-year-old boy run down the hallway into his father's arms. hasn't seen him since october 7th. i was reading an article that said they believe 11 will be released today. is that correct information? >> yeah. we are being really careful with the list because they have been changing so much. hamas is using this as an opportunity to try and put psychologic pressure on israel. and they are very delicate negotiations, but, when they are released. the children will likely be flown here again to schneider's hospital outside of tel aviv. and you mentioned 9-year-old ohad he celebrated his ninth birthday inside gaza. once he arrived here, he was reunited with his father. he just wanted to eat mashed tomatoes and chicken. we have heard that from a lot of the families my grandchildren whole town wiped out and others have no patients like abigail. both parents slaughtered in front of her. so, man, it's great to be free, but life has changed. >> absolutely. you think about 4-year-old abigail, both of her parents were murdered on october 7th. and even that grandmother that we spoke with her son was killed. and one of her granddaughter was killed. while she was reunited with her other grandchildren today. this is still an incredibly painful experience. anyone who has ever lost a loved one, you know that feeling experiencing that today. mixed emotions at the hospital. reunited with loved ones, remembering that not every family member can show up because some of them are no longer here israel was solely responsible for the escalation. safe haven for religious terrorists as well they are like a sanctuary city for terrorism two of thehamas leaders lived t. they give them millions of dollars a year do the people of israel feel like they are getting a fair deal? >> they don't. and we should look at this deal and who is being released. right? it's a 3 to 1 ratio. every hostage that is released. the palestinians will receive three prisoners that were being held in israeli prisons. it's a mixture of people. some of them were in administrative detention that were going to be detained for around a year others were attempted car bombers, people who carried out stabbing and shooting attacks. yesterday really highlighted the exchange. you had these children that were being held here looking to eat pizza. they were exchanged for a woman who tried to set off a car bomb in israel years ago. and was facing more years in her sentence. and this was the exchange for three palestinian prisoners to one hostage. and so there is frustration among the israeli people. everyone that you talk to here, they say this is not a fair deal, but they are willing to do it because they want to get as many hostages out as possible. understanding this war ♪ over. >> this is a pause in the fighting. the conflict really just beginning when you look at the timeline of what the israelis have played out. >> steve: trey, thank you very much. life report from children's hospital there in israel. we're learning more about the people on the big screen who have been released. also, we heard a story this morning about how somebody who has got dual israeli-russian citizenship. ron kervio he was kidnapped from that raid. is he not on this big screen. is he still being held. his aunt told israeli public radio that he was in a building that was shelled and then collapsed and he tried to escape and he did escape. and he was on the loose for four days. and then he was recaptured. and hold back into his layer somewhere. >> ainsley: that little girl abigail that brian was talking about. >> brian: on the bottom in the middle of the screen. >> there she is abigail. she turned four when she was in captivity. she does have two siblings 6-year-old and 10-year-old. locked themselves in the closet 14 hours while their mom and dad were shot in front of abigail went next took to another little girl's house that she goes to preschool with american and israeli citizen. has both citizenships. she is going to live with her aunt and uncle and grandparents where her siblings are now. >> brian: they think it's equal change. you took a 4-year-old, you took an 85-year-old and you are getting back convicted criminals. so does anyone in this is equal out there, those people shutting down manhattan bridge yesterday? do they think that was equally in the one chanting kkk in front of the museum of natural history? do they think this is equal? do you think that girl deserved to be captured as opposed to a 19-year-old who tried to kill israelis. it's absolutely insane. >> lawrence: there is no comparison between the hostages and the people that committed terrorist acts. and i will say this i know that we have a base in qatar, they have known not to be honest brokers. this is the same people that gave khalid sheikh mohammed a tip that we were going after him after 9/11. one of the guys that were the master minds. these are not people that we can necessarily trust. >> steve: they are the ones who are negotiating. it's the qataris and egyptians. >> brian: there is a divide in the white house. did you see they had an emergency meeting with anita dunn wanted to meet to say you are too pro-israel. tone it down on your doctrine. we don't believe that israel is in the right here. and they continue to have huge problems in their own white house with their own people incredible. their own base do not like the president's support of israel. today we were talking about travel tuesday tomorrow. today is set to be a record breaking day. cyber monday. as millions of americans look to get a head start on their christmas shopping as if they didn't start over the weekend. >> brian: mark meredith has been tracking the story, joins us now. hey, mark. >> brian, ainsley, steve and lawrence. all if you are planning to do some shopping you are not going to be alone. the national retail federation 71 million people taking part in cyber monday. even as some americans are still unsure about the state of the economy. people who will be going shopping today, they will be spending some money. retailers estimating they will see some 38 -- excuse me, $12 billion and expect revenue just from today alone. over the course of cyber week, some $37 billion spent on middle school items, consumers expected to spend on everything from electronics to clothing and furniture. the "wall street journal" had a story out today people are not thrilled about going to work go to pay for all those items like the mall of america buying now. the journal writes despite wage increases and more time off greater control of where they work the number of u.s. workers who say they are angry, stressed and disengageside climbing. those feelings could prove problematic for president biden ahead of next year's campaign. still white house officials believe the economy is better than what reports suggest. >> we are looking at consumer spending that's been driving this economy forward. posting growth rates that are, you know, north of 5%. we have an unemployment rate that's been below 4% for 21 months. >> wages have not kept up. >> so, are real wages have grown. real wages -- in other words, wages are beating prices now. so is disposable income. >> for most of that time they have not. >> right. >> we are going to hear the president talk about the economy today. talk about efforts to shore up the supply chains which of course we saw was quite vulnerable during the pandemic. the government taking steps to improve everything from minerals to medicine which of course we all saw can prove how vulnerable they can be during times of challenge or change. steve, ainsley, brian and lawrence, we will see if the president talks about his holiday shopping. he will be talking 2:00 today. >> steve: protesters, ran into people not very happy with him over the weekend. >> no. we have plenty of those who hang out here. you don't have to go to nantucket there are protesters here every day. >> ainsley: thank you so much, mark. iran backed houthi rebels firing missiles at u.s. warship after navy operators came to the rescue of that hijacked vessel and arrested the guys. the latest act of aggression against u.s. forces in the region. >> brian: i'm so glad we don't have them listed as a terrorist group anymore. plus, new polls spell trouble for president biden especially among black voters. can republicans capitalize on that?

former house speaker kevin mccarthy joins us now. great to see, congressman. your reaction to the houthi rebels trying to rocket saudi arabia, rocket israel, rocket us. this just the latest attack. >> yeah. that's unacceptable. you have to understand why do they feel empowered to do this? it wasn't something that happened last week. it was something that happened when we changed administrations. under the trump administration they were listed as terrorist organizations. they would know they would not be in a position to do. this but, in february 2021, biden lifted it and no longer listed as terrorists. also in the biden administration, iran, who funds much of all of this was only able to produce 400,000 barrels a day now producing 3 million. they are getting billions of dollars. >> brian: who they give it to. hamas, hezbollah and houthi rebels. >> the challenge we have in the middle east today is based upon a new administration in the white house the appeasement that they have gone forward has lifted and allowed. now people are dying. americans are being attacked. americans being taken hostage and killed goes back to what bob gaetz said every foreign policy decision biden has made he said this before he was president has been wrong. i got personal. in 2015, i went to the white house. sat in the situation room. talked to them vice president joe biden. trying to encourage him to sell javelins to the ukrainians. a defensive weapon against tanks he would not could that. >> brian: blankets and mres while he was in control of the portfolio on the administration ukraine. crazy how it's all linked together. talk about this next election. no one is a better fundraiser than you. very aware of the electorate. before we talk about fundraising. african-americans disenchanted with president biden, but what have republicans con to attract them? here's the headline are black voters leaving democrats behind? the question is do republicans have a game plan to get them back? we just had a panel join lawrence a second ago. let's listen to what they had to say. >> recent polls suggest a small but rising number of black democratic voters are turned off by joe biden's message. his messaging is not resonating with him like they used to. also, there is a perception that they are being left behind. this is supposed to be the greatest country in the nation we are failing our american people every single day. that is the frustration that americans are failing. >> brian: your thoughts if someone says what's the plan its for republican treat black voter. >> i would say you don't treat them based on the color of their skin. build an economy gives them an opportunity and i'm proud of what we have been able to do. i have been leader in the last two cycles where republican have lost in the presidents, the senate and the governors we won. who did we win with? we elected the most republican women. we elected the most black republicans since reconstruction. we elected the most hispanic republicans. it needs to be a party of opportunity. a party that everybody is welcome into. that doesn't mean we win the majority overnight. we have shown time and again there is an opportunity for you to be able to not only move ahead but your family as well. >> brian: there is a story today that the rnc has just $9 million in 2020 they had $61 million at the same time. in 2016 irhad just about the same. what's going on with the fundraising on the republican side because you have 70 lawsuits in 19 states on the election overall you have to try hard to keep the house majority. why isn't the money flowing in to the republican coffers? >> look, in the house we are in aening have toker position than we have been. 20 million ahead of where we had been before when i left. the recruiting is even continuing to expand. i just gave $3 million last week. i may not be speaker. but i'm going to do everything in my power to make sure republicans have an opportunity to win i believe if joe biden stays on the ticket it could be the very best night for republicans. we were in a stronger position in the house to have a better election cycle this time than the last two cycles when we won. you look at the retirement, spanberger, look at clot kin. these are democrats who retired in places that we were challenging. you look at restricting distrust in north carolina. pick up three to four seats. republicans should win. joe biden, the president cannot fix this problem. hills number one problem is his age you look at the economy. he champions the economy people found they cause this inflation. you look the a foreign policy. there is no president facing a re-election weaker than joe biden since jimmy carter. >> brian: you are in the prime of your political life. you are no longer speaker because of eight votes when you had. >> eight with all the democrats. >> brian: what's next for you to be a chairman of a committee? would it be joining a republican administration? >> look, i look at the one thing they have always found about me is i never give up. i don't know what the best place for me, but i am always going to work to improve this country. and i believe republicans in the majority. i'm going to work. >> brian: you also have to be intrigued by a position that gives you -- that is reflective of your experience. >> the one thing i have always learned growing up. surpass expectations in any job you are given. i don't care if that's pinging up trash and you will get another opportunity. i believe there will be more opportunities for me. it doesn't matter what the title is, i have an opportunity, just like everybody in this country trip to help improve it i'm excited about being able to do it. >> brian: lastly, this upcoming election speaker johnson endorsed donald trump you said i'm going to wait. did he make a mistake endorse ago candidate before the primaries started?

>> good morning. i'm doing well. i know this was rejected by the house. but now the house is saying they will revisit it. what do you expect and why did they reject it? >> well, i believe that -- i believe there was not a clear understanding and it became an either-or proposition. you know, can you support public schools like i do but also supports education life and we need to keep telling that story and that's what we intend to do. >> it's $10,500 that's allocated per child that would normally go to a public school. if your child wanted to go public school that money would be sent there through the education savings plan. if you wanted to put your child in a private school. you could use that money to go toward the private education? >> yeah. that is correct. and another key point is that this proposal uses a separate funding stream for the education savings account. public funding does not go down. largest increase in public education investment in the history of texas. but it also empowers parents to meet the unique needs of their children and to make sure that they have the opportunities to skied. >> ainsley: i know the vote was 84-63 for rejection. some of those who voted against it were rural republicans and, of course, democrats did not like this either. why did they vote against it? >> i think it was a misunderstanding you could support your public schools and also give parents empowerment to meet the unique needs of their kids. are many rural republicans supported. this i have a district that's about 75% rural. rural republicans supports it well it. ♪ an either/or proposition. can you support your public schools like i do but also provide opportunities for every kid all of our kids are unique. i have tree kids that went through texas public schools. they all had unique opportunities and challenges. this bill simply provides every tool in the toolbox for parents and i look forward to continuing the discussion and hopefully changing some minds. >> ainsley: okay. well, representative, thank you for joining us. i wish you the best today with your debates. >> all right. thank you very much. thanks for having me. >> ainsley: you're welcome. now to a fox weather alert. more than 10 million americans are under a winter weather warning. the storm is giving post thanksgiving travelers issues. especially in the midwest and the great plains. some areas getting as much as 2o a.a.a. over 55 million people were traveling over the weekend. so let's check in our meteorologist a adam klotz for r fox weather forecast. hey, adam. >> good morning, ainsley. that exact weather system you were just talking about is beginning to bring cold temperatures across the country. we can feel the temperatures actually dropping here this morning out on fox square, a lot of folks are going to be dealing with that let's dive right into it. first off, where is that wintry weather system, it continues to march itself off towards the east with that it's dragging that cold air if we can bring up the graphics we will see it. there is snow now running across portions of the east coast. that ultimately is going to lift off towards the north. still snow falling across portions of new york. last couple of days, a little bit of lake effect snow. pulling all of that cold air. this is what it feels like across the country right now. you see some spots in the northern great lakes getting into the negative tis. 19 degrees in st. louis. 29 degrees in dallas. some really cold air has settled in across the country. not too bad right now along the east coast. but it is going to only get colder here the next couple of days as you are looking there at tomorrow's forecasted high temperatures. ainsley, those are the weather headlines for now. tossing it back over to you. >> ainsley: thank you so much, adam. >> steve: let's talk a little bit about what happened over the weekend here in new york city. lower manhattan on the east side of manhattan, there you've got that is the foot of the manhattan bridge. and as you can see, a pro-palestinian demonstration essentially stopped traffic on one of the busiest days of the travel year. the interesting thing is they were calling for a cease-fire even though there was -- that was day three of the cease-fire. >> brian: idiots. >> steve: organizers said there is widespread support from people in new york city to do this. i got news for the organizers. people were furious they could not get across the bridge. >> ainsley: this happened on the busiest travel day of the year. it happened yesterday, sunday. people trying to get back to the city to get back to work. >> brian: it's insane because i was leaving giants stadium yesterday. everybody surface roads and you could not get anywhere any way on this type of day stadium of 60,000 people. you could hear people some of the quotes in the story listen i sympathize with you but i have things to do. i have to get some places. you have these models going i have a shoot i have to get done. and people have lives they have olive. who are you winning over by sitting on this bridge you? are not credit is firmly pro-israel. and this democrat president is pro-israel. what do these people do they even know what they are doing. >> lawrence: we got to get back control of our streets. this is illegal. they should have all been arrested for this. >> brian: it takes hours. >> lawrence: it takes hours. in the summer of 2020 they said this was okay. they did this in my home city of dallas. they shut down our bridge and the police chief had to bus be brought out. the paddy wagon and put in jail. guess what? they didn't do it again. i understand that the mayor is in a complicated situation. he is trying to let these protesters protest. but, again, they are breaking the law by doing this on the bridge. they are trying to hold us all hostages to have their point of view and to your point, brian, they are not winning anyone over. >> brian: look at what happened over the museum of natural history. >> ainsley: comparing nypd and the idf to kkk. >> steve: yeah, watch. >> nyc, kkk, idf are all the same. >> nyc, kkk, idf are all the same. >> >> lawrence: only comparison is hamas. why are they spewing hamas talking points. it was hamas that kidnapped people and raped them and tortured them. i saw some of the footage last week. and it was horrible. that he was the only evil broker in this right now. >> ainsley: yeah. if you can be in the kkk you were an evil person. >> lawrence: yeah. >> ainsley: if you can cut the heads off of babies. >> lawrence: put them in microwaves brian. >> ainsley: turn it on and kill them that way you are evil. >> steve: you have to wonder what it takes to get arrested in new york city these days. clearly people stop traffic along. >> brian: i don't know if they had a permit. >> steve: i don't know if they had a permit. one woman and two men were arrested. one protester was spray painting on the manhattan bridge the word gaza. don't know if she was arrested for vandalism. but, nonetheless, 99% of them went home. >> ainsley: can you imagine how mad you would be if you were stung in traffic trying to get in and heading toward that bridge and it's closed you can't turn around. you have to just wait. >> brian: also on the library damaged. shut down the money don't have enough money. $75,000 cut into the marble to deface it because they like hamas. >> ainsley: with the big lions?
