holding high-level meetings with leaders on issues like human rights, beef exports and drug trafficking. but the first lady's lasting impact is the role she played as honorary chair of the president's commission on mental health. >> that was the beginning of a lifelong crusade for me, to try to help make life better for people with mental illnesses. >> mrs. carter, who started her work as the first lady of georgia, oversaw a 20-person advisory board or and developed 30 task forces for the commission. her work resulted in a final report recommending the implementation of the largest reform of mental health legislation in close to three decades. rosalynn carter also made sure to tend to the more traditional duties of her job as first lady and mother to the carter's daughter amy. she

husband worked on building houses for habitat for humanity. there is nothing more important, she said, than a good, safe, secure home. when president carter continued to travel in the years after his presidency, rosalynn carter went along with her husband visiting china in 2010, meeting with former palestinian president yasser arafat in 1990 and attending the democratic national convention in new york in 1992. rosalynn carter also continued to spend time in washington meeting with her successors. she was one of several women family members of past presidents who were honored by first lady michelle obama at a mother's day event at the white house in 2010. in her later years, rosalynn joined her husband in his work for the carter center. they assisted with international conflict

guinea worm and river blindness. through it all, rosalynn encouraged her husband through his brain cancer battle and recovery. >> we've had enough support and prayers, and it's been really -- in spite

carter center, let's bring in steve harrigan live from the carter center in atlanta. steve. >> reporter: jon, tremendous impact here for decades from the carter center. of course, rosalynn carter passing away today at age a 96 in plains, georgia, that's where she was born, admitted to hospice two days ago and diagnosed with dementia this spring. here's dr. jill biden on her bassing. >> -- passing. >> the follower first lady, rosalynn carter, has just passed, and she was well known for her effortss on mental health and and care giving and women's rights, so so i hope that during the holidays you'll consider saying -- include the carter family in or your prayers. >> reporter: rosalynn carter came from modest means. her father was a bus driver, her mother was a dress maker. she was an excellent student in high school and attended college here in georgia. she married jimmy carter in 1946. the two were married for # 7 years -- 77 years and raised 4 children. she was not a conventional first lady. she had an office in the east wing, a full-time staff. she sat in on cabinet if meetings, advised her husband and was known as a tough campaigner both in his first race for governor and for two presidential races as well. those who knew her speak of her empathy, her kindness. she fought for the weakest, for the mentally ill. she wanted to get them the treatment that they deserve and also to remove the stigma from mental illness, that was her key issue as first lady. here at the carter center, she and jimmy carter went around the world trying to monitor democratic elections in different countries and also to eradicate several tropical illnesses. president carter said of her earlier she was an equal partner in all that i accomplished. jon? jon: we mentioned you were at the carter center in atlanta which is, obviously, a huge and cosmopolitan city. plains, georgia, where the carters call home, well, not a lot there, steve. >> reporter: it's remarkable, a woman who achieved such tremendous things in her life was so modest and so humble. you talk about plains just a few hundred people, and they returned there where they love it to really a modest, single-story home. so born there, started out there, returned there surrounded by family and loved ones today. jon? jon: and the folks at habitat for humanity, obviously, will always remember her support of her husband as they worked with that charity. steve harrigan, thank you. the carters married in 1946 together for more than 77 years. they were the longest married presidential couple in u.s. history. lucas tomlinson with more. he's live at the white house now. lucas. >> reporter: jon, president biden and the first lady were at naval station the more folk this afternoon when the news broke of rosalynn carter's death. only fitting, you might say, because rosalynn carter married a man from annapolis, a naval officer who was a submarine officer as well. here's president biden before he boarded air force one on the impact of rosalynn carter. >> wrought so much -- brought so much grace to the office. and, you know, it's one thing if you want to be president and you're putting on a show while you're president -- [inaudible] he did the same thing for people after he was president when he was retired. he was an incredible guy, and he still is there. i haven't -- i talked to the family today, not the family, the family spokesman today in plains, and i was told that all the family, all the children and grandchildren are with jimmy carter. >> reporter: president biden said they were all together there at the end. jimmy carter's mother, a nurse who delivered rosalynn. she married the future president in 1946 soon after he graduated from the naval academy, the only president to graduate from annapolis. mid shipman carter in the yearbook with, jimmy carter called his wife the most influential people on his life. when carter occupied the white house here between 1977-1981, she held great influence behind the scenes as we just heard from steve, he even dispatched her to latin america in 1977 to meet with dictators to let them know her husband was serious about human rights and and, jon, tributes have poured in this afternoon from former presidents, one from president and mrs. george w. bush who say, quote: we are saddened by the passing of rosalynn carter. he was a woman of dignity and strength. there's no greater advocate of president carter and their partnership set a wonderful example of loyalty and fidelity. she leaves behind an important legacy in her work destigmatize mental health. we join our fellow citizens in sending our condolences to president carter and their family, and one more from the clintons. quote: throughout her long, remarkable life, she was an unwavering voice for the overwith looked and upside represented. thanks to her mental health advocacy, more people live with better care and less stigma. we're still waiting for an official statement from the white house. president biden is due to land on the south lawn of the white house any minute now. he's flying back from norfolk and is meeting there with sailors at naval station norfolk, obvious, the uss gerald ford strike group has been extended in the eastern mediterranean and the ussizeening hour is supposed to replace ford in the middle east near iran. jon? jon: jimmy carter, as you mentioned, annapolis graduate. lucas tomlinson, thank you. well, in 2020 georgia congressman buddy carter helped introduce legislation to officially recognize rosalynn carter 's legacy in mental health advocacy. congressman carter, who is not related to the former president, said at the time she has fought to end the stigma against mental health illnesses and to increase access to mental health care. there is no question that mrs. carter has made georgians proud with this work as we continue these efforts to support mental health issues, mrs. if carter deserves to be recognized for championing this fight. for more on the life and legacy of the first -- former first lady, let's bring in congressman carter. congressman, that was a courageous effort to take on. there is, or was, a stigma associated with mental health that a lot of people just wouldn't want to touch it. rosalynn carter confronted that stigma head on. >> and i think that's the kind of person she was. she confronted a number of things head on, but mental health especially. and let's not lose sight of the fact that you remember when they were in office, when the carters took office, we just finished the vietnam war, we had a president who resigned. those were tough times, the economy. and rosalynn carter was there the whole time, a devout christian, a strong lady, a great georgia began and just a wonderful person. but i think two things will be her legacy. one will be her family. i had the pleasure of serving with her grandson jason in the state senate. he was so so proud of his grandparents and so is. i think the family legacy will be there. but the mental health problem, the mental health work that she did, bringing to light the need for mental health services in this country, i think she was a trailblazer there. jon: and there is the founding of the carter center which has really done a lot to improve the lives of people all over the cold. -- the world. >> no question about it. i think, again, the legacy of the carters will be the work that they did after he was president. the carter center has been such a great worldwide center that has done so much good work trout the world -- throughout the world. we're very proud regardless of your political views, we're just so proud of the carters here in georgia. and just could not be sadder to learn of the death of rosalynn carter. jon: yeah. i was going to say you're a republican, jimmy carter, obviously, a democrat. but at times like this and even recognizing the influence that they had, the improvements that they made to the lives of americans and people all over the world, politics can get put aside at times like this. >> absolutely. and, you know, especially for those of us like jimmy carter and rosalynn carter who come from small towns in south georgia. they were an inspiration to all of us. they were an inspiration to me. to think that, yeah, i could one day serve in the united states congress even though i was from a small town in south georgia. i mean, jimmy carter and rosalynn carter, they truly were trailblazers here in georgia, and we just could not be prouder e of the work that they've done. our thoughts and our prayers are with the family. jon: i was maybe stunned the first time i visited plains, georgia, because there really is not a lot there. and to think that a young man rose to be president of the united states coming from that little town can and his wife who was born there rose to be the a first lady and had the kind of impact that she had on the world, it just goes to show you that, you know, the american dream is alive and well. >> that's why i say we live in the greatest country in the world. i mean, where in the world could you go from plains, georgia, to the white house? yet, they did that. and and again, you know, the mental health, that's such a great effort that she put forth to bring that to light, and it's something we certainly needed in the state of georgia and certainly need here in this country as well. that's why i was proud to sponsor along with my good friend a democrat from michigan the resolution honoring 50 years of her service in mental health. jon: yeah. and she also worked on reducing the stigma of addiction. >> yes. and there is a stigma there, because addiction is a disease. as a pharmacist, i know that. and she was, again, you know, how many ways was she a trailblazer? i mean, you can't count the number of ways she was a trailblazer. bringing to light the fact that, you know, people with addictions, they have a disease that needs to be treated. mental health is a disease that needs to be treated, and that's, that's where she was, her add a slow cat city was so vitally important. jon item congressman buddy carter of georgia -- again, no relation to jimmy carter or his late wife -- we appreciate it. congressman, thank you. >> thank you. jon: and we will be right back with more news on "the fox

[background sounds] [gunfire] jon: israeli forces continuing their war on hamas, pushing deeper into gaza looking for a hamas terror strongholds. u.n. secretary-general antonio gutierrez making another urgent plea for a ceasefire after a reports gaza civilians were killed in strikes while they were hiding in united nations buildings. all this as a reports say that a potential deal the free dozens of hostages held by hamas could be near. jeff paul is live in southern israel9 with the latest there. jeff. >> reporter: well, yeah, jon, despite there being talks about a potential hostage a deal in the works, as you can probably hear in the background, no signs of the fighting stopping anytime if soon. from our vantage point right here in southern israel, we continue to hear boom withs from the outgoing artillery that us legal is still firing into northern gaza is. and that is where the idf says they've obtained some new cc-tv footage from the shifa hospital. a military spokesperson says video shows two different foreign nationals being forcibly taken to the hospital by hamas on october 7th. the idf if says this is proof hamas was using shifa hospital on the day of the terror attack. they also released new images of a tunnel israeli forces say runs underneath the shifa hospital complex. that's where it appears to be a deep staircase that then leads to the entrance of a tunnel shaft including a blast-proof door and a firing hole. but the ongoing fighting in and around al-shifa has all but forced the hospital to stop functioning as a medical center. at least 30 premature babies were evacuated today and will be sent to egypt according to palestinian health officials. with resources running low, it's only putting more pressure on coming up with a deal to pause the fighting in exchange for hostages. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the imminent hostage a deal incorrect, qatari's prime minister who's involved in the ongoing negotiations says only minor challenges remain. >> i'm now more confident that we are close enough to reach to a deal that can bring the people safely back to their homes whether they are the hostages on hamas side or whatever the exchange that will happen will take place from the israeli side. >> reporter: there's also increasing pressure on the israeli government within israel. thousands marched from tel aviv to jerusalem over the past five days, many of them families of hostages. they are pushing the israeli government to do something to bring the more than 200 hostages back home. we're also keeping an eye on the north where there's back and forth at least for the last couple of weeks between israeli forces and hezbollah. further to the south, jon, in the southern red sea, we're also getting reports about a cargo ship that was hijacked by yemen's houthi rebels. important to note there were no israelis onboard that ship, but the prime minister for israel, bepg men netanyahu, released a statement in a way blaming iran. jon? jon: so the tunnel system under much of gaza supposedly e goes on for thousands of kilometers. some of the earliest hostages released said they were held in the tunnels. so how do the israelis go about destroying or dis. mantling the tunnel network without harming the hostages? >> reporter: i mean, i think that is the big question right now as we enter week seven, you know? we're standing out here in southern israel near northern gaza, and if the last couple -- for the last couple of nights there have been heavy, heavy bombardments on northern gaza. and, you know, people come up and ask what are they still firing at? we've seen the images, many of the buildings are knocked down, and some just assume they're trying to do something to reach those tunnels. but when you see some of these images of where they find the tunnels, where they find the tunnel entrances, they're all concealed in different spots, so that's a huge, a huge task ahead, jon. jon vn jeff paul reporting live from southern israel. jeff, thanks. for more on israel's military campaign in gaza is, let's bring in retired u.s. air force hyten teicher who also served as assistant deputy undersecretary secretary of the air force. how would you assess the way it's gone so far for the israelis, general? >> jon is, the idf has been very deliberate during these last six weeks. the first three weeks they did some battlefield preparation before the ultimate invasion there of northern gaza, and then they have isolated the hamas stronghold there in the north and have slowly started to strangle and, ultimately, neutralize a -- hamas in that region. but urban warfare and hostage rescue are extremely challenging tactical and operational situations, and that is why israel has been so deliberate during these last six weeks in undertaking those operations. jon: yeah. when they're fighting in this urban setting, hamas definitely has the advantage, do they not? >> they do. but because israel has isolated them and now slowly started to move in, the advantages that israel has with respect to firepower and intelligence has allowed them to be a lot -- very deliberate and very intentional about slowly advancing in to strangle and neutralize those hamas fighters realizing, however, that those underground tunnels are still a major challenge that the idf has yet to tackle. jon so many of the has -- hamas leaders are headquartered in qatar. i read an interview in the jerusalem post where one of the leaders said we didn't expect that the united states was going to support israel in the way that it has. do you believe that, first of all, and what does it mean that hamas wasn't expecting u.s. support? >> jon, one thing that hamas knew would happen would be that the idf would take the fight to hamas there in gaza. and, ultimately, we should be proud as the united states for standing strong with our israeli partners. and we can't really understand or even believe anything that the hamas leaders would say whether they're in gaza or outside of gaza. jon: there is, reportedly we just heard from one of the qatari leaders, reportedly a deal pretty close to finalization that would release the hostages. if that happens, does this war end, do you think, or does it go on? >> jon, there's a variety of trade-offs here and, of course, israel is extremely interested in recovering those 240 or so hostages. but what israel is deciding, as they -- those three major criteria, is whether that is worth the tactical and operational risk of the pause that would come likely with the release of those hostage as. and the idf and israel has to be confident in the situation that they're in a position to neutralize hamas sufficiently so that they can't regroup during this pause that would be a part of releasing hostages. jon: meantime, iran through one of its diplomats is trying to say that they aren't involved in this, that their fingerprints are not on the attacks of october 7th, that iranian -- well, the groups that we call iranian proxies are acting completely on their own. what do you say to that? >> jon, that is so disingenuous, and i hope that our president doesn't believe it. they, iran, have been the largest state sponsors of terrorism for the last several decades. we heard the attack or the ship seizure from the houthis in yemen. we talked about shia militia groups in iraq and syria. we talk about hezbollah in lebanon and hamas in gaza, and all of those groups have been supported, equipped, trained and financed by iran, and we must not believe that iran has nothing to do with it. in fact, they are the primary mover in the facilitation of all of the instability in the middle east. jon: general john tyke earth, good to get your expertise. >> thank you, jon. jon: mayor eric adams has been releasing information on this year's sweeping fiscal budget cuts. his plan is to reduce police, slash education and public library budgets because the mayor says the city the spent more than $1 billion in first call the year 2023 on the migrant crisis. c.b. cotton is arrive in new york city with -- live in new york city with more on this. >> reporter: hi, jon. yeah, new york city mayor eric adams may be blaming the migrant crisis for these budget cuts, but now some new yorkers are blaming him. this week demonstrate ors gathering outside new york city hall to urge adamss to find a different solution. instead of slashing a total of 15% from all city agencies between now and april. this week adams announcing updates to this year's fiscal budget to now account for the rising cost of the migrant crisis. the budget totaling $110.if 5 billion includes a hiring freeze of knight police officers -- new york city police officers, reducing overtime pay for firefighterses, new york public libraries closing on sundays and scaling back the sanitation services. this week people were quick to express concerns about public safety. here's republican new york congresswoman nicole malliotakis from house foreign affairs weighing in. >> this is defunding the police without actually saying defund the police. that is what new york city if democrats are doing, they're taking away from tax-paying, law-abiding citizens services that they deserve and have paid for, and they're shifting it to individuals who have flown into our countries, are not following the proper rules and protocol. >> reporter: and this week the city announcing it's cutting the new class of 250 school safety officers from new york scoops. the agents keep an eye out on billing entrances, respond to behavioral issues and operate metal detect ors. -- detectors. the mayor saying this week parents may have to step up to keep kids safe. >> we're going to be leaning into our parents and parent groups to do some volunteerism. we're going to lean into our cry e access management if team. we have to pull all hands on deck can. >> reporter: now, these cuts have been criticized by new york city council's progressive democrats and republican members. new york city mayor eric adams saying these cuts were necessary9 with the city having spent a little more than a billion dollars in fiscal year 2023 on the migrant crisis. the city plans or expects to spend nearly $11 billion on the crisis through 2025. jon. jon: that's the effect of the migrant crisis on the nation's most populace and very wealthy city, so, you know, the folks along the border in texas and arizona, you can only imagine what's going on. c.b. cotton in new york city, thanks. coming up, leaders in the public are split over the israel-hamas if war and a potential ceasefire if as a negotiators continue a desperate push to free the hostages taken october 7th. congressman anthony december to see toe of the house homeland security committee shares his thoughts with us on all that next. ♪ (carolers) ♪ iphone 15 pro, your husband deserves it! ♪ (mom) carolers?

>> it's absolutely, it's insane. we had secretary mayorkas in front of the homeland security committee this past week, and i was asking him very direct questions, and i mentioned earlier today i think that i've had better conversations with some of the persons that i've sat -- perps that i've sat across from in the interview room in new york city as a detective. i asked him questions about whether he thought the work that he was doing was beneficial, whether he thought that our country was in dire straits, whether he thought that the border that we didn't have operational control and what he was doing about these cities. every city now a border city, every state now a border state. and secretary mayorkas did everything that he can to squirm out of those questions and just not provide answers. and the facts are he's been derelict in his duties, and he needs to be impeached. jon scrp he has said that the border's under control. >> well, it's clearly not. i mean, and what i think is so important right now is that you're talking about a city that's run by a democrat in a state that's run by a democrat. i mean, governor hochul has said there's no room at the ip, stop sending migrants here -- can at the inn. mayor adams, who touted the fact that this was a sanctuary city during his campaign, clearly had no plan in place to be that sanctuary city. and let's be honest with one another, nobody is crossing our southern border, nobody is taking the risk of leaving their home, nobody is racing their -- risking their lives and putting their lives in the hands of cartels for the american dream to live in a vacant warehouse at jfk airport or at floyd bennett if field. we are not doing the job that we're supposed to do. and the answers are very simple. secretary mayorkas and joe biden have failed the american people. the border is wide open, and here in places like new york city who, again, touted that they were is a sanctuary city, there was no plan in place to be that sanctuary. jon: well, some of that may be reflected in some of the latest polling of the president's job performance. it hit a new low in the poll that we are about to show you. the overall job performance of president biden now only 40% say they approve. that goes back to july of 2022 when it hit numbers hike this. like this. the president not doing so well according to the american people, congressman. >> no, he's not. and to be honest with you, it's sort of shocking that even 40% of the american people think that he's doing a good job. i mean, you look at, you know, our economy, you look at a inflation, you look at our southern border, you look in cities that are run by democrats. crime is through the roof, and it's just, there's absolutely zero handle on it. and i'll be, you know, you talk to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, you take thursday's homeland security hearing with mayorkas there, and instead of focusing on the things that are actually the threat to our national security, they want to talk about global warming and climate change. i mean, the priorities of the democrats in the house of representatives as well as in the white house are absolutely mind boggling, and we need to get a handle on it. the republicans have put forth the secure the border bill months ago. it's, it invests in infrastructure along the southern border, it hires customs can and border patrol agents, it makes sure that we have a sufficient amount a of asylum processers, technology, and it's it's the been sent over to the senate, and it's collecting dust. but all the democrats want to do is point the finger saying that the republicans are not doing the job. there's a democrat in the white house, the democrats control the senate, and the republicans in the house of representatives are doing the job that the american people sent them to do. the democrats are failing us. joe biden is failing us. certainly, secretary mayorkas is failing the american people. jon: new york congressman anthony d'esposito, thank you. >> thank you. jon: back with more "fox report" in just a moment. ♪ (vo) in three seconds, janice will win a speedboat.
