>> kevin: new hour of fox news live on the ground in new york city, palestinian protestors are rallying against the "genocide in gaza." and welcome in, everybody. i'm kevin corke. happy thanksgiving to you and yours, and especially to you, molly line. >> molly: thank you, kevin, i'm molly line. great to be with you. a handsful of protestors disrupted today's thanksgiving parade. you can see them attempting to block the route in the big apple. fear not, bluey, sponge bob, they made it through. alexis mcadams is new york city, she got to watch the big parade. alexis, to you. >> we saw big crowds out here trying to catch a glimpse of that beautiful parade, all of those beautiful floats and creativity going by along with the marching bands as everybody was waiting to experience the macy's thanksgiving day parade, but that was not all that came with the parade. lots of protestors behind me, lining the route and now they have continued throughout the day. hundreds of people showing support for the palestinian people, demanding the united states stop supporting what they believe is a genocide, protestors poured red paint on the ground and tried to block off the parade route. police stepped in to clear it. watch this. those marches come as the nypd remains on high alert, they moving along, so many get things preparations to go on the parade, they could not let the people block the intersection. no specific threats to the macy's thanksgiving parade, but the israel-hamas war created what the federal government is calling a heightened threat environment, beefing up patrols to keep everybody safe. >> counter terrorism officers have been preparing for this event all year-long. working closely with our federal, state and local partners. >> and it's not just the nypd as the commissioner mentions, it's federal, state and local partners, the governor adding increased surveillance and extra police to make sure everything is under control. you can still see it there on the screen, the pro palestinian protestors are still marching through the streets and as mentioned before, and molly you have seen it happen on the college campuses, it grows quickly. so from the dozens to the hundreds and it's gathering as we have had good weather. see what path they take next. >> molly: a lot of people in the city, that is for sure and the new york city police doing an amazing job. alexis, thank you for bringing this. a look at the wild streets. >> kevin: dan hoffman, a long time, good to have you with us on this thanksgiving day. i just want to sort of touch base on what we just saw there in new york city, obviously alexis is out there, she's remarking, commenting, rather, on what she has seen throughout the day, that is building protests and for the most part they have been relatively peaceful and i say that through this lens. no one appears to have been hurt, at least thus far. that is a credit, i think, to the nypd. what say you? >> yeah, happy thanksgiving, kevin, to you and all the viewers and molly. look, that's freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. and the people out there taken to the streets are protesting u.s. government policy and that's ok in america because we enjoy liberty and freedom and democracy, and those protestors might just take a pause at some point and think about whether they could do that in gaza under hamas rule. which they couldn't. they could do it in israel, though, and might be something to take a moment and think about. >> kevin: that's a very strong point. let me ask you about what we saw yesterday, it turned out at least that this was sort of an incident that happened along the northern border between the u.s. and canada, but i'm curious to get your perspective on the possibility of terrorism. we talk a lot, an awful lot, dan, about the u.s. southern border and the potential risk that could be happening there. we fairly give i think scant attention to the north and yet i think we certainly should. is that your perspective? >> yeah, we absolutely should. the millennium attack thwarted in 1999-2000, but very alert u.s. border patrol so we have to be on alert, but especially in these times, you have hamas terrorists taking the fight to israel and killing innocent civilians and putting it on social media because they hope to incite their enemies, israel, to launch the attack on gaza that's going to turn the gaza strip into an moonscape, according to what some have seen it, that's what hamas wants, death and destruction for their own people to serve their twisted narrative and also want to attract followers, they do it on the internet and in cyberspace, and concerned about those in the united states who may be here illegally or living here who represent a threat to conduct those sorts of attacks. that's why state, local law enforcement, fbi, cia overseas have to be working to detect the threats way out left of boom before they cause harm and preempt them. >> kevin: i want to get your perspective on what cia and other agencies can do. cia is outward facing. bureau is inward facing and imagining some collaboration and coordination, especially as it relates to the growing terror threat in this country. >> yeah, it's -- there's no higher priority. we talk about the importance of intelligence work on china, iran, russia, it's a priority for decades and the intelligence community, cia, nsa, fbi, all working together with state and local law enforcement, we have quite a seamless bit of collaboration together to keep our citizens safe and i think on a day like this, when my family, we are giving thanks for our blessings, we also remember those in the military in our military intelligence community and others serving overseas in harm's way to protect us here at home, and we owe them our greatest thanks, appreciation. >> kevin: operatives and assets working all over the global working very difficult jobs for this country to make it positive to have a safe thanksgiving. dan, great to talk to you once again, my friends, appreciate your time on this thanksgiving and happy thanksgiving to you and yours. >> molly: a ceasefire is set between israel and hamas as some family members await the word on release of their loved ones. a spokesman from the qatari government exchange what we could see several hours from now. >> 13 in number all women and children and those hostages from the same families put together in the same patch. every day will include a number of civilians as agreed to total 50 in the four days. >> molly: a lot of families with hope in their hearts. jeff paul is live in southern israel. really on the cusp of history right now. jeff, to you. >> molly, and with the first release pushed back until at least tomorrow, it's a very anxious time here on the ground in israel. but we are learning the israeli government is in the process of calling all the families of the hostages to let them know who is on the list to be the first released and who is not. under the deal between israel and hamas, israel will get back 50 of the hostages initially. we are also learning at first there is going to be a ceasefire planned for around 7:00 a.m.. then after that, hamas is supposed to release the first 13 hostages starting at 4:00 p.m. local time. in total, 50 women and children will be released over a period of 4 to 5 days. in exchange, israel will release 150 palestinian prisoners. during each of those days that hostages are released, there will be pauses in the fighting. breaks in combat are coming at a critical time, especially for civilians in gaza running low on supplies to stay alive. and food, clean water and medical supplies are at lows. but regardless, the idf says the mission in gaza to root out hamas is not over. >> we are trying to connect the goals of the war so that the pressure from the ground operation brings about the ability to also achieve the goal of this war, to create the conditions for the release of the abducted hostages. >> now when the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke a little bit earlier today, he seemed to have a positive tone saying he's hopeful that the hostages, at least the first batch of 13, will come out tomorrow and back to israel where they belong, and he's hoping that will be the first of many more releases to bring all the hostages home. molly. >> molly: absolutely, including this little american girl hopefully will be released tomorrow. appreciate you being on the ground there during this time. >> kevin: retaliatory airstrikes as u.s. forces come under attack once again in the middle east. david sears is next, former seal team troop commander. hed by a baby grand piano. you're replacing me?

branch of the mill around the world to thank them and their families for their service, as u.s. launches airstrikes, and they are responding with more than 60 attacks on u.s. service members. nate foy from london. >> dan hoffman said it great before the break, today is certainly a day above all others that we really should be thankful for the u.s. military taking attacks every single day in the middle east, you mentioned the president and first lady called members of our military thanking them for their service this morning, vice president kamala harris is set to do the same in about a half hour. a tweet from president biden expressing his thanks to our military, saying we will never be able to repay the sacrifices made by our military service members and families but give you my word, i'll never stop trying. u.s. conducted two retaliatory airstrikes in aircraft after being attacked at least 66 times just since october 17th. strikes hit control facilities, iranian backed militia based in iraq, they inspired the 2019 storming of the u.s. embassy in baghdad when protestors shouted death to america, and they sanctioned six people in the group, and this week, they fired two short range missiles at u.s. forces at al-asad air base thu they tracked them down and fired on them. >> immediately following the attack, ac130 aircraft in the area conducted a self-defense strike against an iranian backed vehicle and personnel involved in the attack. it resulted in some hostile fatalities. >> some claim the u.s. overstepped saying airstrikes are against the mandate to fight isis in iraq. they are called to refrain from unilaterally and respect the iraqi sovereignty. we'll send it back to you, molly. >> molly: nate foy, thank you. great points about our troops, thank them for our service and dave sears, a former navy seal team 6 commander, thank you for your service and time on this thanksgiving day, appreciate that as well. appreciate your insights. these latest strike backs done by america, they were swift, and they were right to the point. your thought on how swiftly america responded, given the fact quite a few attacks, but this response was a fast one. >> right, this response is probably done at the commander level on the ground, and like they said, a self-defense strike, so happened to have the assets in place and were able to do it. so when this instance, yes, it was a strike back on the immediate group that carried it out. i think our response to the other 60 plus strikes on u.s. forces in iraq and syria has been completely underwhelming to the world at large, see what we are doing as weak and i think the region sees it as weak and enemies see it as weak. we need to respond in some way that's very visible and carries a big message. >> molly: many of these groups, including the hezbollah group in iraq, a difficult position there, such an escalation was viewed because the strike happened in iraq and that was a concern, and a broad concern about this expanding in the region. but talking about being able to respond and respond swiftly, one of the things the u.s. has been very concerned about is a direct strike on iran, and here is how the deputy pentagon press secretary explained it. >> we are extremely mindful of this conflict broadening out into a regional conflict. that's what we do not want to see. we do not want to be pulled into a regional conflict, both from attacks on our troops and also from what is happening in israel. >> molly: your thoughts on the effort the u.s. seems to be making to not expand things and yet still respond in some capacity? >> we are playing on our back foot the entire time. i get that there is some strategic value in not hitting iran internal to its sovereign borders, right. you don't want to mobilize the populus of iran against the united states, they are already against the iranian regime, leave them that way. outside of iran, we can hit all their proxies, hit iranian things, they know the u.s. will not do consequences, the attacks will continue until they suffer consequences from them. >> molly: another top story we are following is the potential hostage release, exchange with hamas and israel, possibly as early as tomorrow, some of the women and children released. you have this dramatic amount of experience, successful rescues of colombian personnel, years in captivity, working in colombia. your thoughts on this exchange as we head into tomorrow? >> these exchanges have always been very one-sided. obviously israel is dealing with not just a military strategic piece but political as well. the people want their family and friends back as hostages, but what we have to give to do that will continue the hostage taking, so israel needs to -- they are doing it from a strategic standpoint, so they know the tactical situation on the ground and how much of a pause they can take and allow to happen, but it's a shame the world is not condemning this hostage taking by hamas, by terrorist groups, by hezbollah, supported by iran, the constantly goes on. there should be an outcry against that, it's shameful. >> molly: absolutely. dave sears, thank you. i hope you have a chance to enjoy thanksgiving, time with your family, appreciate you giving your time today. happy thanksgiving. >> thanks, happy thanksgiving, molly. >> kevin: good stuff there, molly. house republicans demanding answers from tiktok saying disinformation about the war in the middle east is running rampant on the app. georgia congressman buddy carter is leading the push and joins me now. listen, this is -- i think this just goes without saying, you have to do something if at a certain point it could lead to violence and i think that's where a lot of people are coming from, buddy. what's happening with this, and what can we -- what can we glean from what the company is saying about what's happening on their app? >> well, first of all, i don't believe the company when they tell us what's happening on the app. question know what's happening. we know that young people, 18 to 29 are getting most of their information and news off of tiktok and what they are doing is they are spreading propaganda, terrorist propaganda and antisemitic content, we need to to that stop that. it would be naive and irresponsible if we did not do something about this and address it. it's a chinese communist party app. the app is owned by the chinese communist party. their intention is cause division and chaos in the united states. we cannot allow that to happen. why the chair with the committee, kathy mcmorris rogers and 23 colleagues, we sent a letter demanding they stop the terrorist propaganda they are spreading. >> kevin: let me share with the folks at home who may not have heard about the bin laden letter, a scratch your head moment, i'm aghast, frankly at some of the things i'm seeing on the app. this letter in effect seems to justify the awful act that happened on october 7th and yet it's all over tiktok, the app is now responding saying look, they are doing their very best to remove this kind of content. "content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism" and goes on to basically say we are trying to did all we can to remove it. you said you are skeptical. they have it right there in black and white, if you will. they are saying we are doing what we can do but i think there are a lot of people who say this is lip service. >> it is lip service. and you know, they told us the same thing when we had the ceo of tiktok before the energy and commerce committee a few months ago. oh, we are moving the headquarters to america. what difference does that make if it's still owned by the chinese communist party. we see what's being spread on tiktok. this obama -- this bin laden video, there is ridiculous. we cannot allow it to happen. i've called for a total ban on tiktok. its banned from all government phones and should be from all american phones as well. >> kevin: slow creep of misinformation how it's described by some. buddy carter, thank you for your time today, happy thanksgiving and we'll keep a close eye on how you continue to fight this fight. thank you again, sir. appreciate it. >> please do, happy thanksgiving. >> molly: a big arrest sparking alarm about security along our northern border, coming up. >> don't build the wall, build both walls, don't forget the northern border. that's where the crisis is going next. this is a tempur-pedic mattress and it's designed to help make aches and pains a thing of the past by relieving pressure points and supporting your body in a way no other mattress can. for a limited time, save up to $500 on select tempur-pedic adjustable mattress sets. my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c? it's down with rybelsus®. my doctor told me rybelsus® lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill and that people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. i got to my a1c goal and lost some weight too. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effect
