>> todd: a fox news alert, take a look, looks like smoke over gaza, despite the ceasefire. we will verify what is happening now. today we are expecting hamas to release 10 more hostages. you are watching "fox and friends first" on tuesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. 51 people held pie hamas are back in israel after the terror group released more and children yesterday. they were airlifted to a hospital in tel aviv and that is where we find trey yingst. that smoke plume could change things. we don't know what is going on. >> trey: it is day five of the ceasefire between israel and hamas. we are looking at live images with black smoke rising from inside the strip. it could be indication of ceasefire violation or tactic to reposition. we are looking into it this hour. 11 more hostages were freed overnight as part of this larger ceasefire deal. they were flown to the hospital, nine of them children. they are from nir oz, taken into gaza on october 7. all have fathers being held inside gaza. israeli officials are hopeful 10 additional hostages will be released tonight. it is families reuniting that stands out over the past week. this family was reunited over the weekend. the kids meeting their dog for the first time in 50 days. we continue to follow developments inside gaza. palestinians are gathering supplies and clean water in khan yunis. this is the longest conflict in history between israel and gaza, closest in length was 51 days in 2014. this is developing with hostages still held inside gaza and fighting expected to continue later this week. >> carley: so notable you said all the children released yesterday have fathers still left in gaza, that could be done by some cruel design. some hostages aren't being held by hamas, they are being held by other terror group and that raises questions on what happens to them, could they ever be part of hostage negotiation between hamas and israel if they are being held by another group like the palestinian islamic jihad? >> trey: it's a great question. there are reports that indicate up to 40 hostages in gaza aren't being held by hamas. there are other organizations like islamic jihad, smaller criminal organizations that are families inside gaza. they are reportedly holding hostages and it further complicates the negotiations. hamas may not be able to identify where they are being held and thus they can't get them to release them. as we look forward into this, there could be a few days of ceasefire, this extension could be extended. the fighting is expected to resume, israel is preparing for weeks of battling as they go after hamas leadership. >> carley: trey yingst live in tel aviv. thank you. idf spokesperson peter lerner will join us later and we will get information on the smoke plume. and prison stay of gershkovich for a third time. according to russian media, the journalist will be held until the end of january. he was arrested in march on espionage charges while on a reporting trip a claim he and the "wall street journal" have denied. both biden administration and kremlin say they would consider a prisoner exchange after reaching a verdict in his case. >> todd: departure ceremony being held for rosalynn carter. she will head to emery university. president biden, jill biden and kamala harris and doug imhoff will attend. the former first lady died last week at the age of 96 after being put in hospice care. she was married to former president jimmy carter for 77 years. is joe biden due in 2024? liberal media outlets think so. >> carley: polls show majority of americans do not approve of how the president is doing their job. brooke singman is here with more. >> brooke: president biden is pushing ahead with reelection campaign. analysts say there is no coming back after his chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, rising inflation and pandemic. others say the bleak poll numbers might understate the problem. many activists who worked hard to elect biden now have little enthusiasm for the president due to his racial justice, gaza and other vital concerns. as thes white house tries to do damage control, many are wondering if staffers are going to abandon what could be a sinking ship. >> given the president's sagging numbers and he is behind any republican opponent has there been talk about a change in strategy or staffing going forward? reflection of the numbers that show him underwater? >> no. >> brooke: vice president kamala harris is on the defense, trying to gain support from younger voters. >> i started a college tour in september to go out and meet with our college-age leaders. so colleges and universities, community colleges and trade schools, college age. let me start by saying i love gen-z. i love gen-z. >> brooke: as far as republicans, less than 50 days from the iowa caucus on january 15th and president trump is holding a commanding lead over competitors. >> todd: add gen-zers to the venn diagrams. and vikings quarterback dobbs, who is also like a rocket scientist, no joke. very smarts, maybe better at rocket science. justin fields losing two fumbles. one night where the kickers could shine. >> play clock at four, good hold, good kick and bears back on top with 10 seconds to go. >> todd: carley liked this, bears kicker fourth field goal of the night accounting for all his team's points. one final chance and doing the lateral thing and did not work. chicago wins 12-10 for first win over divisional opponent and first time bears won without scoring a touchdown. >> carley: the kicker was the m.v.p., a perfect game. i root no matter who is playing, i root for the kickers. >> todd: loves legs and mayor of charleston will tell us about his win, first republican elected to office since the -- >> carley: what is missing and it might have something to do with hunter biden, keep it here on "fox and friends first." ♪ ♪ nice footwork. man, you're lucky, watching live sports never used to be this easy. now you can stream all your games like it's nothing. yes!

william cogswell. >> people wanted to see pragmatic solutions to their problems, we are putting residents first and it worked. >> todd: how did you win over democratic votes? you had to get some democratic votes. >> technically the race is bipartisan in charleston, but everything seems to be bipartisan these days. pragmatic solutions, we were able to put together democrats to back us, that is how we won. >> todd: you mentioned it is a nonpartisan race and your opponent may have tried to sow seeds of division like democrats do locally, nationally and at the state level. do you think your victory was rejection of democrat policies of division? >> it was certainly a rough campaign in the last few weeks and my opponent did go pretty partisan. to your point, i think it backfired on them. >> todd: nationally, do you think your race shows republicans they can run on a unifying message and win electionings, specifically looking at next year, 2024? >> absolutely, i think if you focus on pragmatic solutions to problems, that is what voters want to hear. these pot holes are not partisan, they want things running smoothly and want to know there is a firm hand on the wheel and we bring that leadership to our local government and again, put people that live here first. >> todd: you will be in the national spotlight because the south carolina republican primary is a big deal. this shows donald trump and nikki haley leading gop prefers. nikki haley your former governor, are you planning to endorse a candidate and if so, who? >> i would say nikki haley, i got to go with her. she's been an incredible governor, when i was in the legislature, i served under her and had the honor to be under her. she brings pragmatic solutions to our state and our country's growing issues and she has a good disposition and is a good person. i got to go with nikki haley. >> todd: one piece of advice, you were number one food city under democratic rule, don't mess that up, william cogswell. look forward to visiting you soon, it is a great city. this alarming video showing hundreds of migrants packed on top of a cargo train barrelling toward our southern border. >> carley: san diego is the latest city using their airport as a migrant center. the cries builds into the suburbs, stay with us. my daddy's a cowboy. i'm a cowboy and i'm raising a cowgirl. and discovering that my family come from farmers, for generations. this life is in our blood. and we ain't stopping no time soon. give the gift of family heritage with ancestry. when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis takes you off course. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when i wanted to see results fast, rinvoq delivered rapid symptom relief and helped leave bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc tried to slow me down... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc caused damage rinvoq came through by visibly repairing my colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief... lasting steroid-free remission... ...and the chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check, check, and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least 1 heart disease risk factor have higher risks. don't take if allergic to rinvoq as serious reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. put uc in check and keep it there with rinvoq. ask your gastroenterologist about rinvoq and learn how abbvie can help you save. after last month's massive solar flare added a 25th hour to the day, businesses are wondering "what should we do with it?" bacon and eggs 25/7. you're darn right. solar stocks are up 20% with the additional hour in the day.

[cheering] >> carley: look at that train packed with migrants heading to our southern border. it will stop in a mexican city across from eagle pass, texas and a thousand miles north, migrants are living at the san diegos airport. bill wells, mayor of el cajon joins us. what is going on at the san diego airport? >> migrants are sleeping at the airport. we have 172,000 homeless people in california. california has basically made it completely uncriminal to be homeless in california and there are no places in shelters or hospitals, no place to go at all. add this new migrant crisis and things get out of control and people have nowhere to go. >> carley: so sad to see, no one wants to see people sleeping in an area you shouldn't be sleeping in. it goes to show the humanitarian crisis. we remember when governor abbott and governor desantis sent migrants across the country and you say the federal government is doing that same thing now, explain that. >> that is right, federal government is bringing people over with no place to go. it used to be you had to have a sponsor that would guarantee you have a place to go. now san diego is a destination. migrants have no specific plan of where to go, they are doing what they call street releases. there are thee main stops where street releases occur. one is my town, which is 15 miles to the east and 30 miles north of the border. as a result, we see lots of people coming in that have no place to go. this is exacerbating the homeless crisis. >> carley: how do you feel about governor newsom, if you ask for help, does his office help? >> there is almost no communication, certainly no plan. county of san diego are running out of money and this is local money that should be used to help local people. but this is not helping whatsoever. as far as government, we get nothing. alejandro mayorkas should be stopping people acrossing the border, but he's not doing his job. governor newsom is doing nothing to help the problem, just rhetoric and happy talk about how things are going to be great. we are also being gaslit, they are telling there is no problem at the border. our eyes tell us there is everything, but no problem, it is significant problem. >> carley: we were looking at images of that train packed with migrants riding the top of it, this issue is not going anywhere any time soon. thank you for joining us, have a great day. now to a fox news alert. gaza, large clouds of smoke are rising above the city despite a two-day extension of the temporary ceasefire between sxralt hamas. >> todd: we expect more hostage releases today, we are talking to lieutenant colonel peter lerner about all of it next. when he totally kills it at his improv class's graduation performance. knees will be slapped. suds will be sprayed. people won't know what hurts more: their cheeks, or their sides. that's why he's already keeping himself in-shape and razor sharp today with health tips and wellness tools from aarp. to help make sure his health lives as long as he does. because the younger you are, the more you need aarp. whenever you're hungry, there's a deal on the subway app. buy one footlong, get one 50% off in the subway app today. now that's a deal worth celebrating. man, what are you doing?! get it before it's gone on the subway app. ♪ meet gold bond daily healing. a powerhouse lotion that moisturizes, heals, and smooths dry skin. with 7 moisturizers & 3 vitamins. and... new gold bond healing sensitive. clinically shown to heal & moisturize dry, sensitive skin. gold bond. >> todd: a fox news alert. we are looking at smoke rising over gaza despite the ceasefire between israel and hamas. hamas will release 10 hostages today and 10 more tomorrow. idf spokesperson peter lerner joins us now. any information on what the plumes of smoke are? >> no, i'm not aware of that. i am seeing as you are broadcasting it. it is a developing situation and we'll be looking into it. i am not aware of anything happening at this hour, but there could be something happening on the ground. we are trying to bring home as many hostages as we can everyday and hopefully day five, we'll see more hostages brought home today. >> todd: do you worry this could jeopardize the ceasefire? >> i don't know, what we're trying to do is making sure our positions are operational and pause is maintained. same time, we're taking steps to be ready for any development. so the reality is one we need to maintain fire and protect ourselves and that is what we are doing. i can't confirm this situation, i don't know what it is. we will have to look into it. >> todd: this development notwithstanding, based upon how negotiates have gone so far, are you confident this ceasefire will extend through wednesday? >> it is very hard to look beyond this evening either. i don't want to harness the horse before the cart. the threat on the ground is ruthless one, this is awful, mass manipulation and heartbreaking. we see israelis gather around televisions from 4:00 p.m. everyday here, glued to the television set trying to understand who will be let out, who is coming out, their condition. that will be the situation today and then we'll look forward to and plan for tomorrow. we are making necessary plans to transfer the hostages to hospitals where they continue treatment. our role is to protect them and bring them back into the community and cushion them after the huge trauma they have been through. that is what we're doing. the operational pause, we believe we wouldn't be receiving the hostages without immense military force utilized to bring hamas to the negotiating table and we are conducting activities with continuing flow of humanitarian goods to people in southern gaza and bringing hostages home. >> todd: with regard to which hostages are selected for release and which are selected to stay, that has to be an agonizing decision. how do you pick? >> that is not something we do, that is happening in corridors of diplomacy, our role is to facilitate it once they are released. i don't envy who gets to decide who comes out. we hope to bring every last one of them home. we have demanded red cross has access to them, i can't recall that has happened. >> todd: what is hamas's end game. upon eventually the hostages will be released, what happens then and idf continues with full force? do you have any sense? >> i do not know what hamas's end game is, we know what the end needs to be, need to be demilitarized gaza strip and location governed by palestinians as they choose to see fit and needs to be without a terrorist organization that is a staging ground for terrorism against israel. we intend for that to happen. we have taken advantage of the last four days to reassess operations and learn from our lessons of seven weeks of combat and be prepared to mobilize at a minute's notice. >> todd: are you fearful hamas will take further hostages? >> great question, that has been their plan since day one. we are operating very cautiously in the field from operational activities and forces on the ground. we need to understand, this is something they may try to do and we've been operating slow and surely in order to achieve our goal of dismantling and destroying hamas capabilities. i assess that with modest success, we are winning, we
