over gaza in several different locations. not clear what it is all about. israel says there is a clear violation of a truce. a truce that was supposed to last another two days. good morning, everybody. we're getting rolling on tuesday. bill hemmer live in new york. good morning. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." hamas terrorists opening fire in two locations aplunge the northern gaza strip. a number of israeli troops are hurt. this as a fourth group of israeli hostages being reunited with their families after being set free in exchange for dozens of palestinian prisoners. the swap marking one for each day of the cease-fire so far. >> bill: the fate of this 10-month-old israely baby and his family hanging very much in the balance. the idf says they were handed off to another terror group once inside gaza. a relative earlier today calling that nothing short of barbaric. >> i can't say we are surprised about the level of cruelty and inhumane behavior from hamas. in this cease-fire they signed an agreement to release all women and children. tomorrow is the last day supposedly of this cease-fire of this agreement as it was signed. and there is still no news about my family, if they will be returned or not. >> bill: remarkable woman with a remarkable message. will the cease-fire hold today? >> good morning. you mentioned it just in the past hour the idf is claiming three explosive devices detonated near idf soldiers in two locations. one of those locations, hamas terrorists and idf soldiers exchanged gunfire resulting in several injuries. they are not believed to be severe. we haven't seen a major escalation other than that. this comes as cia director bill burns is meeting with qatari and israeli officials to discuss the possibility of extending the temporary cease-fire that has been extended two days. but as the parameters of this two-day extension it requires what we were expecting today with ten israeli hostages expected to be released from gaza in exchange for 30 palestinian prisoners. in the past four days 51 israelis hostages have been returned along with 19 hostages from other countries. the white house estimates that either 8 or 9 american hostages remain in gaza. the majority of whom are believed to be men. so far hamas has only exchanging women and children. like 4-year-old abigail edan released on sunday. you mentioned 10-month-old israeli baby and his 4-year-old brother are still being held in gaza along with 165 other hostages. two members of the boys' family talking about what they've been through. >> psychological war against us, i have no idea. it is working really good because the last four days have been a nightmare for us. >> it has been 52 days for a baby and the boy in captivity. there is no precedent in modern history for something like this. >> more tension on the northern border as well that you see behind me. lebanese reports an israeli shell landed in southern lebanon. idf hasn't confirmed that and no further escalation this morning. another tense day as ten more israeli hostages are set to be released. send it back to you. >> bill: we have a ways to go. yesterday the spokesperson for netanyahu telling us they think there are 150 hostages still there. nate foye, back with developments as the sun sets behind you. thanks. >> given the president's sagging poll numbers and the fact that he is partly placing behind any republican opponent, has there been any talk in the white house about a change in strategy or staffing going forward in reflection of those numbers that continue to show him underwater? >> no. >> should we be anticipating departure of cabinet officials? >> i can't speak to people's personal decision. >> dana: a reporter asking karine jean-pierre is president biden is considering a staff shake-up since polling numbers are so long. her response tears and not expansive. can't blame her on that one. karl rove joins us now. would a personnel change on the staff level make a difference here? >> well, if the personnel was the guy who sits in the oval office perhaps. but look, there are problems that they have in terms of their organization. take a look, for example, compare this white house to the white house in 2011. chief of staff was bill daily, he knew politics. the white house senior advisor david axelrod had left to go to the campaign. the campaign had a skilled operative involved in the 2008 obama campaign, jim mass ena and a long track record. this white house, anita dunn is inside the white house. the close confident, the campaign manager has never run a campaign. who is the chairman of the democratic national committee? spent $1 hundred million in south carolina and lost to senator scott in his re-election. the team is not the a team and the white house is in my opinion not well organized for trois is coming. chief of staff has no political involvement. that's fine. anita dunn is the only pro in the galaxy of people responsible for getting people reelected. >> bill: fox polling, karl, you have a white board. let's get on with it. we had biden and trump. trump up four. biden dep santana up five, biden haley haley up by 11. and then we have, stand by, the job performance disapproval number from mid november is 59%. does that jive with what you are seeing? >> absolutely. we got confirmation. these are the fox and marquette law school, pretty good poll, trump up four over biden in fox. up four in marquette. desantis up five in fox. up two in marquette. haley up 11 in fox and up ten in marquette. the white house has plenty of confirmation. those terrible approval ratings are being reflected in being behind in the presidential race and that's -- you start out behind but being double digits behind somebody who the american people know very little about, nikki haley? that's a real problem for the white house. hard to see how they dig their way out of it. >> dana: any president will want a congress that reflects his or her party. and this is a map here of five senate seats that are currently held by democrats that might flip to republicans in 2024. west virginia, montana, ohio, arizona, pennsylvania. how are things going in those states for republicans? >> well, first i would add one more to that list, six. make it six, nevada. because it is trending slightly republican. look, the democrats have a real problem in the three states montana, ohio, and west virginia that were won by the republicans in the 2020 election and the 2016 election and as a result are -- those democrats are going to have big targets painted on their backs because the republicans have got the upper hand. but you're right. those three are the republican best. we have primaries in ohio, so we'll have to wait and see who the nominee is there. looks like we'll have good nominees in both west virginia and montana. you win those two and hold what we have and you flip the senate to 51-49 and other shots in arizona if it's a three-way race, a shot in michigan and in nevada. we have a great shot in pennsylvania about dave mccormick who received unanimous endorsement of the republican party of that state and is backed by the senatorial campaign committee. the republicans will be on the offense in the senate and have a map that's very favorable to them. think about all of those states, arizona, nevada, michigan and pennsylvania. those were narrow biden wins. in the case of arizona less than a percent. in the case of nevada 2%. less than 2% in pennsylvania, slightly more than that in michigan. but all four of them could potentially be in play if the republicans nominate a good candidate who runs a good campaign. >> bill: got it. we'll have no more time to talk about this. that's sarcasm. we'll talk about this. >> dana: a lot of time. >> bill: thank you, sir, nice to see you. >> dana: if you can't get enough of karl rove and politics, i had him on perino on politics yesterday, the podcast guest available now at fox news podcast.com and find out what he is really paying attention to this year and has something to do with third parties. >> bill: it was a good one. the super tuesday showdown. >> dana: super mega tuesday. >> bill: ten minutes past the hour. here we go in what sounds he released a similar to what happened in china four years ago, a surge in respiratory illnesses caught the attention of the world health organization. matt finn live the london to follow up on this story and where do we think this is going, matt? hello. >> it's considered a rare move. the world health organization asked china to publicly provide data about this alarming spike in respiratory illnesses and pneumonia in children. china provided that data and says it is not covid and not a novel virus but the combination of a couple of things including the flu, rhino viruses as well as bacteria swamping hospitals. a reported 7,000 patients in a day were admitted to one beijing children's hospital and a reported 13,000 children at another hospital. chinese officials provided data that china says showed the increased hospitalizations of children is not because of a novel virus. chinese officials blamed the increase in the lifting of covid lockdowns. to combat the spike in illness, the chinese health ministry is calling on local authorities to open more fever clinics, promote vaccinations in children and elderly and mask wearing. in the united states the world health organization and cdc have not reported any increases in mass respiratory illnesses. despite the surge of sicknesses in china the health ministry says it is safe to travel to that country down playing the outbreak. we'll keep you updated. >> bill: intriguing and seems to be spreading. see how far it goes. matt finn, thank you for that live in london. dana. >> dana: fox news alert. hunter biden is offering to testify before the house oversight committee. his attorney sending the letter into the inquiry into his father, joe biden. not clear if the committee will take him up on that. it could be the first time that hunter appears under neath a public forum. we'll follow that and keep you posted. >> bill: check this out now. >> when you see stuff like this go on in a school, people are only encouraged because they've seen other protests around the city also go unpunished. >> bill: have you been watching this story? alarming scene at a new york high school. students rampaged through a school over a teacher's support for israel. there are new developments this week that's coming up in a moment here. >> dana: detained "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovitch, back in a russian court. >> bill: the migrants again surfing on top of trains heading from the south to the north and our southern border. there's challenges, and i love overcoming challenges. ♪ when better money habits® content first started coming out, it expanded what i could do for special olympics athletes with developmental needs. thousands of bank of america employees like scott spend countless hours volunteering to teach people how to reach their financial goals. it felt good. it felt like i could take on the whole world. hi, i'm michael, i've lost 70 pounds on golo. i spent thousands on other diets that didn't work. on golo, i spent a couple hundred bucks and got back down to my high school weight. you're not gonna believe this thing is possible but it is. with the freestyle libre 2 system, know your glucose level and where it's headed. no fingersticks needed. manage your diabetes with more confidence. freestyle libre 2. try it for free at freestylelibre.us (light acoustic music plays) (eagle screeches) (energetic music plays) there he is! it's right there! ♪ oh, he's straight ahead. he's straight ahead. straight ahead. go go go. ♪ cover more ground in the kia sportage turbo-hybrid. kia. movement that inspires. your heart is the beat of life. if you have heart failure, entrust your heart to entresto. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor if entresto is right for you. 18 years from tonight, grant gill will become a legend. 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. if you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan that's smart now... i'm 65. and really smart later i'm 70-ish. consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcare. with this type of plan, you'll know upfront about how much your care costs. which makes planning your financial future easier. so call unitedhealthcare today to learn more about the only plans of their kind with the aarp name. and set yourself and your future self up with an aarp medicare supplement plan from unitedhealthcare. >> bill: we've got this update on a fox news alert out of russia. the court in house could you a bit earlier today ruling to extend the detention of the "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovitch. he has been jailed since march on espionage charges. today's ruling will lengthen his jail time through at least the end of january. russian foreign ministry saying it may consider a prisoner swap but only after a verdict in the trial. so stand by. that's the latest from moscow as we continue to hold onto hope for him. >> dana: students at a new york city high school under investigation after a huge protest there turned into a riot. officials say a jewish teacher was targeted because of her support for israel. alexis mcadams live in queens. hi. >> this all happened at this high school behind me in queens as you mentioned. things got pretty out of control last week and now we know that some of those students involved in this have been suspended according to officials after hundreds flooded the hallways in that school behind me chanting things for pro-palestinian chants and forced a teacher to hide in her own classroom saying she was afraid for her safety. she posted a photo of a sign that said she stood with israel. we have this video blurred out. students are underage. we count show what they look like but lots going on inside the schools. hundreds were waving palestinian flags and posts on social media say students ripped a drinking fountain right off the wall inside and vandalized some property. the teacher was in hiding inside the classroom as the nypd sent dozens of officers in and school was put on lockdown. listen. >> students who are responsible for creating this, we have invoked a set of disciplinary measures in that regard. not going to tell you how many students or who they are but it was responded to. >> so how did this all begin? with a facebook photo of a teacher holding a sign that reads i stand with israel. but one hillcrest student who didn't want to be identified said things got out of hand. >> honestly this is a very muslim population, this school. populated with a lot of muslim but it wasn't nothing like violence. >> that's not what the teacher felt like. she told the "new york post" saying no one should ever feel unsafe at school saying i've worked hard to be supportive of our entire student body and advocate for our community and was shaken to my core by the calls to violence against me that occurred online and outside of my classroom. back live in queens, dana and bill, the investigation is far from over and then in a few more days on thursday there is another planned protest. nypd remains on high alert for that. >> dana: alexis mcadams in queens. >> bill: the guest blaming modern progressivism for the disconnect. a city council member that represents that district. a couple things. alexis is reporting the gentleman we heard from went to school there 30 years ago and just put up call for one again. what they did, they went on facebook, students did. they found this picture of their teacher. at the bottom of the screen it says this is insane, pro, fire her. this group wasn't organized by parents or teachers, but organized by the students. >> correct. >> bill: on the morning of the school communicating on their phones to get this rally in the hallway. >> it took more than just the one morning to organize this. these kids communicate on tiktok, they communicate on their phones, they are constantly on their devices. they could put together something in a minute's time. when they saw the picture of this jewish school teacher they had it set out. the school is predominantly muslim populated. this is horrific. >> bill: we weren't told majority. we were told 30%. is that right? >> 2600 kids in the school. i think 500 and around that are muslim. there you go. but the demographics has changed quite a bit in the school. as has every school. so right now they chose to pick on this one teacher who did this on her off hours. this was done on the night she went to the protest that millions of jews -- thousands of jews went to and she was singled out by this group of what i call, you know, we're breeding terrorism. this is in my opinion and the chancellor will knock me down for that. and that's okay. but what we have been indoctrinating our kids into for the last decade or more, has been breeding anti-american, no history is being taught, there is back to basics, there is no discipline, there is nothing. so these kids can do whatever they want to do and never, ever worry about consequence. never. >> dana: there wasn't much media attention on this until you brought it to everyone's attention and the "new york post" and fox is doing it. the headline in the "new york times." it kills me. in queens, students call for dismissal of pro-israel teacher. not like they signed a petition, they were coming for her head. >> that's correct. can you imagine -- they got it wrong in the video. they moved her from her classroom down to an office where she locked herself and the police moved her until they moved her out of the building. can you imagine if they would have broke down the door? these were 400 kids rioting. kids 14 and 15 years old. this did not happen overnight. this is something that started when they were in second grade, third grade, the curriculum in our schools has been breeding all of this. and now as they say, the chickens have come home to roost, okay? and you reap what you sew. this is plain and simple. >> bill: turn it around for a moment. what if this was a group of jewish students going after -- >> oh my. >> bill: someone of a different religion. >> there would have been blood on the streets. enter>> bill: imagine the coverage. this thing is barely picked up. >> everything is kept quiet. when i come after the doe today, because i'm able to as an elected. i always did. i can't stand the uft. >> dana: teachers union. >> i have come out and said that before i was a councilwoman. when randi weingarten ran the uft i was an active parent in the school. >> dana: can't imagine. [laughter] >> bill: there is a planned protest on thursday of this week in favor of israel. we'll see how that goes. >> hopefully it will go well, you know, there are two sides to this. we saw them shut down the manhattan bridge and saw them try to stop the thanksgiving day parade. they are now planning a disruption when we light the tree in rockefeller center. actions being taken by pro-hamas and hezbollah. this is a terrorist organization we're allowing freedom all over our streets under the guise of the first amendment right. now a teacher thr
