>> julie: fox news alert. anti-israel protests this morning here in new york city. some of them are gluing their hands to the sidewalk. this video just in from moments ago. the call to action posted across social media. their goal is to shut down the annual thanksgiving day parade. they were unsuccessful in doing so. it has been going on without a hitch and amazing. posts on instagram and tiktok told demonstrators to show up along the macy's parade route right now at 11:00 a.m. organizers are calling it thanks taking. they're saying it's for gaza and indigenous resistance everywhere. the protest does not stop the parade today. to breaking news in the middle east. shocking pictures released by the israeli military showing weapons sized from a hamas commanders' home. the weapons were hidden under his children's beds. idf uncovering more of terror group tunnels. newly released video showing one under al-shifa hospital. israel claims this proves the terror group is using the medical facility as a command center. just this morning qatar's foreign ministry confirmed the timing of the hostage deal between israel and hamas. hello, everyone. welcome to a brand-new hour of this special edition of fox news live. i'm julie banderas. happy thanksgiving to all of you enjoying this on a thursday. >> griff: happy thanksgiving. i'm griff jenkins. great to be with you any day. hamas originally announced the truce between the two parties will begin today. the deal then running into last-minute delays. families on edge to hear the news of their loved ones' returns. a top qatar official making this announcement. >> the beginning of the pause will be 7:00 a.m. friday, the 24th of november. and it will last as agreed for four days and the first batch of civilians to be released from gaza will be around 4:00 p.m. on the same day. they will be 13 in number. every day will include a number of civilians as agreed, to total 50 in four days. >> griff: the deal includes the release of the 50 women and children in exchange for 150 women and children held by israel. the hostages will be released in phases spanning the four-day pause. it starts at 7:00 a.m. local time tomorrow, midnight eastern. jeff paul is on the ground in southern israel with the latest. jeff. >> griff, a lot of cautious optimism in israel. we're learning this group of 13 could be the first group of hostages to come out of gaza. right now the israeli government is on the phone calling all the families of the hostages to let them know who exactly is on that list. at least at this time. originally we thought it would start today. that has been pushed back at least a day. at the time, qatar officials were quoted saying they are working to create the appropriate conditions. under the agreement, we're expecting hamas to release 50 hostages including women and children who would be freed over multiple days in groups from 10 to 13. in exchange, israel would then release 150 palestinian prisoners and agree to multiple pauses in the war. those pauses couldn't come at a more critical time for civilians trying to survive in gaza. they need food, clean water and medical supplies as the war continues. now many of those civilians are welcoming the news of this agreement. >> we have been waiting for it for over a week. we have been waiting for a cease-fire every day, cease-fire, cease-fire and nothing was happening. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke a little while ago saying he is hoping this first group of hostages gets across the line, gets back home to where they belong and also said he hopes this is just the first of many to bring them all back home. griff. >> griff: let's bring them home. jeff paul live in southern israel. jeff, thank you. despite the delay, the white house is touting president biden's involvement in the deal. in a new video national security council spokesman john kirby says it was all thanks to the president's personal leadership. biden arrived in massachusetts for his annual thanksgiving visit to nantucket the same day the deal was announced. lucas tomlinson is live on the island and spoke yesterday. >> happy thanksgiving. president biden touting that deal and his involvement in it along with the amir of qatar, the president of egypt and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. john kirby taping a video. saying the hostages will be released tomorrow morning. of course that includes up to three americans including a 3-year-old little girl. now, as you mentioned i had a chance to catch up with john kirby after this taped video was planned. he went a little off script. i asked him how sure of you will the deal go through. i stressed hamas is a terrorist organization known to break its word in the past. >> there are no touchdown dances here at the white house right now. we are grateful that this agreement got put into place. we worked hard to do so. we are grateful to prime minister netanyahu. we're grateful to the president of egypt. >> the white house saying president biden spoke to the amir of qatar. biden said told netanyahu to calm things along the border with lebanon. hezbollah has already fired 50 rockets into northern israel today. earlier president biden spoke to nbc at the macy's thanksgiving day parade and wants americans to give thanks. >> president biden: we have to come together, you know. we can have different political views but we have one view, the one view is we are the greatest nation in the world. >> we're also receiving word from the white house that president biden spoke to the troops this morning. a long list i'll go through some of it. he spoke to the 39th infantry brigade team in germany. marine corp op center at the pentagon. a newport news and fighter squadron. f-16 from shaw air force base shot down the chinese spy balloon with the week long odyssey across the country. what's notable. the president did not call the u.s.s. ford that was supposed to be home for thanksgiving and you also have the u.s.s. eisenhower off the coast from yemen. the polar bear plunge took place in nantucket. i thought you would be all over that. we'll go dark for you. >> griff: the lights went off. i didn't do it. happy thanksgiving. as we bring the lights back on, check in julie and i have learned it appears the president will have three pies. so we want a full accounting for the number of pies there at the dinner. thank you, lucas. >> the cooking of those pies, the baking of those pies last night might have caused the fire false alarm at the house. >> julie: joining me now is darren gobb, former blackhawk helicopter pilot and battalion commander. thank you for talking to us on thanksgiving. happy thanksgiving touchlt i want to get right to former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton's comments where he slams the hamas hostage and cease-fire agreement reached tuesday between israel and hamas calling it a very bad deal for israel. let's listen and then have you react. >> many aspects of this deal are wrong. here is what i think is the most problematic, the game that's being played here is hamas couldn't care less about a humanitarian pause. what they are interested in is getting a pause started and then extending it to become a truce, and then extending it further to become a cease-fire. that may not happen all at once but hamas benefits more than the israeli defense forces do. >> julie: of course they don't have a humanitarian bone in their bodies. they absolutely don't care and the release of 13 women and children is obviously an effort to get women and children out of the hands of hamas knowing the atrocities that they committed to women and children and the elderly and grandmothers and families in front of each other. first of all, talk about the numbers between 50 hostages being released compared to the 150 palestinian prisoners that will be swapped in exchange. obviously a bad deal for israel. the pressure, of course, was on by families who wanted their loved ones home safely. >> julie, that's the concern here, of course, the delay tactic as ambassador bolton mentioned. it is to string things out. hamas will take advantage of the gaps in time to do what terrorists do best, prepare more terrorist activity whether in israel or in gaza. they are going to use this to their advantage somehow. they could care less about the humanitarian aspect of it. it goes back to why you don't negotiate with terrorists. it assumes they will even keep their end of the bargain in the first place. right now i would be cautious with that at all. >> julie: it's why they spread it out over a four-day period. they start with 13 women and children starting tomorrow. the truce begins at midnight. 9:00 a.m. eastern time is when the hostages will be released and over the course of four days, you know, a couple dozen here and there until they reach the number 50. there are still 240, though, let's not forget hostages being held and that's not counting those that could have potentially been killed in capture. talk to me about how israel is going to make sure that hamas holds up their end of the bargain especially knowing the treatment of these hostages as we speak? >> well first i guess i would be skeptical about hamas's desire to hold up their end of the bargain. israel has limited capability to enforce that part. the only thing they can continue to do is continue military operations with the desire to find those hostages and to free them themselves. there is another part of this bargain that shoals you where hamas is coming from. they don't want senior leadership of hamas being targeted during the cease fires, either. especially after massiad has been told to target all senior hamas leadership regardless of what's going on. hamas is doing it out of self-interest, not humanitarian interest. best for israel to continue this operation the way they see best to meet their strategic objectives. >> julie: today's iran's foreign minister met with the leader of hezbollah and hamas and islamic jihad officials in lebanon. iran is the main state sponsor of the three terror groups. so their involvement is extremely troubling and extremely threatening to israel. it is their second meeting since october 7th, by the way. that's obviously only stoking fears of a wider war. something the defense department says they are aiming to avoid. listen. >> get pulled into a regional conflicts from attacks on the troop and what's going on in israel. we're hitting where it hurts and weapons facilities and they are no longer of use. we do want to see this conflict contained. of course, we will always choose to respond at a time and place of our choosing. >> julie: how do you contain this conflict with iran's dirty hands in the mix? >> that's difficult to say the least. this should have been contained before it even started by continuing with all the different kinds of economic sanctions on iran in the first place. so going back to it didn't need to start. but now that we are here one of the best ways to contain is send a message to iran and other countries said if you mess with our people, kill them or injure them you will pay a heavy price. that message needs to be bold and needs to be strong and needs to be fast. right now what we're doing bombing empty facilities or almost -- is almost fruitless. they'll let us do that all day long. they won't change anything they're doing. the fact that iran is in lebanon shows they are making the decisions on what i call mercenary armies. >> julie: lieutenant colonel, thank you very much. appreciate it. griff. >> griff: julie, the u.s. keeping an eye on the new tensions on the korean peninsula. what it means for security in the region and here at home. plus look who is gaining ground? nikki haley's rise in the polls getting some attention. she is even besting biden in a key swing state. will it be enough

he turned 81 on monday. two, will the economy be an asset or liability next year? three, how much political damage has he suffered over the itself rail/hamas war and can he make trump unelectable. fox polling shows voters are far from impressed by his job performance and deeply underwater including economy, inflation and israel/hamas war. tim hogan serves as communication director for senator globe char and former spokesman for hillary clinton joining us. let's dive right in. the questions posed by the hill very interesting. let me give you the first crack at which one you think is most significant and troubling for the president. >> i think the age issue is most significant, griff. happy thanksgiving to you as well. many americans look at the current president and they ask a very fundamental question. that is, is the president capable of continuing to do the job for another four years? he just recently turned 81. he will be 86 at the end of his second term if he is reelected. most americans, including a significant portion of democrats, are beginning to say no, they want someone else. i also think it's why a recent nbc poll several days ago showcased former president donald trump is ahead of joe biden with younger voters. granted it's within the margin of error. that's something that is substantial. no republican has been able to do that in modern times. >> griff: you talk about young voters. let me show you another poll. that is across various voting groups job approval. record low approval for men 37%. voters under 45, 37%. college graduates 43%. it's not good news for the president across these different groups. >> right now i would look at how people are voting and not the polls. democrats just had a great showing in the november elections. you look at how we were talking about obama's re-election in 2011. >> griff: tim, he wasn't on the ballot. >> but the democratic brand was on the ballot. i would make the case that joe biden is the leader of the democratic party and the democratic brand. i think there is one small thing to 0 in on thanksgiving. joe biden calls into the macy's day parade. thanks or firefighters and police. donald trump tweets an attack on the judges overseeing his case. the new york attorney general. the question for voters, do you want to go back to that where you wake up on thanksgiving and wonder what the president is tweeting and it will consume your day and meal? that i think will be the big question once this contest comes into focus. >> the real question for americans particularly younger americans will be can they afford to buy a home? can they afford to start a family and afford to buy goods? i was on in harris last week and buying thanksgiving items like turkey and basic things we buy every year for this holiday has increased 14, 15, 18%. that's the question for americans. are you better off today under the current president or were you better off before? the question for most people they were better off before. >> griff: tim, we played a tiktok video of all young people, generation z folks who had a message for the president. the economy is hurting them across the board. it appears the president is having trouble with some of these young voters. i really want to get to nikki haley. the question is, will trump be the frontrunner? the recent headlines suggest that nikki haley is rising in the field of would be trump's haley gains ground. "politico", nikki haley is consolidating the never trump vote. a recent poll shows haley is out performing president trump in a match-up against biden in the key swing state of michigan. she is beating him by 11 points, 47-36. same poll finds trump with a smaller lead only five points, 46-41. my own observation it seems that nikki haley did herself a favor in the very first fox debate when she separated herself from the rest of the pack on issues like abortion, support for ukraine, and things like that. let me go to you. to you believe nikki haley is rising and is she a formidable opponent to unseat trump as the frontrunner? >> i think she is rising. the jury is still out on whether or not she will be a formidable opponent to the former president. i will say this, griff. republicans and conservatives have to ask ourselves this question. the 2016 election was won on the margins. the 2020 election was lost on the margins. 2024 will again be on the margins. we have to ask within that margin of error do we want someone 2% or 3% or 5, 6, 7, 8%. nikki haley appears to have a greater advantage. >> griff: tim, to his point here, it is not clear that nikki haley is a formidable opponent to unseat trump just yet as the frontrunner. in your opinion is haley a bigger threat to biden than trump? >> she is having a moment. she is surging nationally. she is only at 10% still in third place in iowa. still losing to trump by 20 to 30 points in new hampshire. i think if you put the focus on nikki haley and what she is proposing policy wise. sign a six week national abortion ban. she wants to tie socia
