as far as the hostages, nine of them are children. the youngest star for. two of those children are four years old. one of them is abigail dunn, four-year-old american girl who you mentioned, just ten four on friday, which was the first day of the cease-fire agreement. obviously, that announcement, massively important to american audiences. we heard president biden speak on it earlier. we know that prime minister benjamin netanyahu over spoke to president biden. we know there are more americans being held hostage in the gaza strip, two of whom are women, therefore potentially included in the framework of this cease-fire agreement. reverend? >> now, what can we anticipate -- fourth and final day of the truce coming tomorrow? what can we anticipate? >> given the way things have gone the last three days, reverend, we can anticipate to see more or less the same thing tomorrow. a group of israeli hostages reduced from the gaza strip -- hamas has been releasing outside of the framework of this agreement, and a final group of palestinian prisoners also released into the occupied territories. today went much more smoothly than yesterday. there was a tense moment yesterday in which hamas delayed for several hours the release of the hostages from the gaza strip. today, we saw no delays, no real hiccups. that said, reverend, we should not take for granted that this truce will hold or that this exchange of hostages and prisoners will actually take place. this is always been a fragile and tenuous agreement. additionally, a leave you with this, reverend, we are hearing positive notes from both parties involved in this conflict. both hamas and israel, with respect to their willingness to extend the cease-fire additionally, day-by-day, this was a possibility that was always built into the possibility of the agreement. we're hearing positive signs from the parties involved, including the united states, which has been involved in brokering this agreement. all parties seem willing to extend it. but again, we cannot count on that to happen until we actually see it happen. reverend? >> all right, thank you to nbc's david noriega in israel. joining me now is jeremy bash, former chief of staff at the cia and the department of defense under president obama. jeremy, as we mentioned earlier, 17 hostages were released by hamas today, including a four year old american israeli. and an exchange, israel released 39 palestinian prisoners, all of whom were minors. president biden set of four-year-old american, abigail edan, is now in israel. take a listen. >> two days ago, two days ago, one of our fellow americans, a little girl named abigail, turned four years old. she spent her birthday, that birthday, at least 50 days before that, held hostage by hamas. today, she's free, and jill and i, together with so many americans, are praying for the fact that she is gonna be all right. you know, she's free, and she's an israel now. so, those who are now wrapping abigail in love and care and supportive services she needs with -- >> what are your thoughts on the efficiency of how this exchange went, jeremy? >> well, rev, the last couple days have gone according to plan, but after this four-day truce, that will still be 180 hostages still under hamas control, including nine americans. and so, we think about those nine americans, and i just want to mention their first names quickly, because we can't forget them. -- today, we saw the release of two americans, who is the elderly woman who needed urgent medical care, which is why the hostages moved directly from the gaza strip into israel without even going into egypt forest. she was brought back to a medical facility. and of course, four year old abigail, who had to witness the murder of her own parents before being abducted by terrorists and held underground for the last two months. and so, this is a horrific situation. is obviously a sigh of relief for the families who are experiencing these reunification's. but president biden and his counterparts in the region, from israel, from egypt, from qatar, from other countries, cannot, must not, and shall not rest until all hundred and 80 hostages are returned home. >> now, national security adviser jake sullivan didn't rule out the possibility that the four-day cease-fire or pause could be extended when he appeared on meet the press today, saying the next step is largely up to hamas. the white house has been under intense pressure from within its own party to push for an end to the fighting and to curb civilian casualties. how likely do you think it is for this pause to go beyond tomorrow? >> i think there's a good chance, i would say, maybe a better than even chance that the pause continues. and the reason i say that, of, is i truly believe that it's an hamas's interest to not have the idf come barreling down on them. the last few months have seen very significant gains by the idf in gaza. the idf has taken our many hamas leaders. they've taken many tunnels, many aspects of hamas's command and control, and hamas once this period of quiet. they also want the fuel, and they want the relief inside the gaza strip. i also think it's an israel's interest to continue to see the return of hostages. the netanyahu government is under intense pressure from the israeli people to work tirelessly to get these hostages back. so there is an alignment between both sides in this ward to continue this period of quiet, to continue this truce. and the long run, though, rev, in the long run, i think we have to figure out a way to degrade hamas capability and to continue to deter them from attacking -- commit another october 7th terrorist attack, again killing 30 americans and taking 14 american hostages. that would not be in america's national security interest. >> yesterday, vice president kamala harris weighed in on the pause during a visit in los angeles. take a listen. >> so, we're gonna continue to be diligent and vigilant in doing all that we can in that regard to ensure that there is humanitarian aid going in, but hostages are going out, and our highest priority, of course, at the american citizens who are being held. >> is the united states doing enough here in supplying aid to gaza? the supplies that runs low there? >> yeah. the united states has coordinated up to 200 trucks of food and fuel and water and medical supplies into the gaza strip. we in the united states are working very closely with our counterparts in the win as well as with other arab governments, including egypt, which has that contiguous land border, as well as the government of qatar, to make sure that aid goes in. that's very important, because of course, israel and the united states and these other countries are not at war with the palestinian people. israel is at war with hamas, which is using the palestinian people not only as human shields, but they're using it as a way to prevent any effort to remove them from power. as you know, rev, and as your viewers know, israel left the gaza strip in 2005, and since then, for the better part of 17 years, hamas has been the government there. they have been in control of the governmental ministries. they have decided how much aid, how much food, how much fuel gets to the people. they decide whether it's been diverted -- rockets, missiles, by weapons. and so, at the end of the day, that's gonna have to be a position by the arab leaders and the palestinian people. who shall govern the gaza strip? do you trust hamas to do that? do you want them there? or would you rather have new palestinian leadership? i think all people who speak piece, who want reconciliation, we want an end to violence, have to be thinking about that day after. what does palestinian leadership look like in the future? >> all right. thank you, jeremy bash. switching gears now, joining me is new york city mayor eric adams. mayor adams, thank you for coming on the show. >> thank you. >> i want to get into the migrant situation and budget challenges. but i wanted to have you also to discuss a number of issues facing the city. but first, i have to ask you about several adams in the news relating to you and hear administration. on wednesday, a lawsuit was filed against you by a woman who says you sexually assaulted her while you both were working for the city in 1993. you said thursday, you don't recall ever even meeting the accuser. what more can you tell us about this case, if anything, and why it's being brought, if, as you say, you didn't even know the person? >> i don't know them. and i want to be clear, the law that was passed that allowed a look back period of any form of action like this, i support the law. i think it should be used and not abused. i have no idea why this was brought forth. i don't recall ever meeting this person, over 30 years ago. this was stated took place. and people like you, who know me, i have always fought on behalf of not only women, specifically, but in general, uplifting people. and protecting people. i protected people for 22 years as a police officer, and i know what it is to make sure that people should always receive the protection that they deserve. and we don't know the full scope of what this allegation is, but it's gonna fog the process, and i want to continue to do what i have to do to make sure the city navigates -- challenging time. >> there's also the fbi campaign finance investigation federal authorities have this month raided the homes of your chief fund-raiser, as well as another aid, and seized several of your electronic devices. the probe was reportedly looking at whether a turkish consulate building may have been approved -- he said you're cooperating with investigators, and haven't been accused of any wrongdoing. but for city residents who are concerned about corruption and who read stories about your past trips to turkey, and have questions, what is your message to them right now, mister mayor? >> well, i've been consistent on one thing, reverend sharpton, to my team. number one, we participated all investigations, and we follow the law. we follow the rules. i stated as a former law enforcement person, i know what it is to follow the rules and follow the law, and i'm telling my team to do that. we want the same thing -- southern district once. it's to find out exactly what took place, and people point to the number of trips to turkey. i traveled to africa seven or eight times, south america, central america, to china, new york city is an international city, and we have some of the largest population of the various diasporas of all of these various groups, and i try to make it clear that we are welcoming city, and we want to have these international relationships. the united nations sits off the east river of the city. and that's the role i have as the mayor of the city of new york. so we are going to be as cooperative as possible to give any information that is needed. i continually tell my team to cooperate and follow the rules and the law, and that's what we're doing. >> switching gears. i'm glad to have you join us thursday at the action networks house in harlem to serve thanksgiving meals to the needy. you've been there just about every year, talking about 31 years and on christmas since you've been mayor. it was different this year. a number of migrant refugees seeking shelter right now. you have been very vocal about the dire situation that large u.s. cities face as temperatures drop and shelters are full. many of these migrants are coming from climates that they are not ready for the winter year. chicago, other places. what needs to happen right now to address this issue mister mayor? >> and you're right. as i joined the national action networks and others on thanksgiving day throughout the week, on wednesdays i'm giving out food every wednesday just about on 34th street. we also travel throughout the city and your analysis as a correct one. as i saw the faces of people, i saw different groups. people coming from west africa, from south to central america. russian-speaking locations, all coming through our southern border and making their way to new york city, chicago, los angeles, houston, other municipalities as you see playing out in massachusetts right now. they basically stated that they don't have any more room. we've opened over 210, what we call humanitarian relief centers. several different various shelters systems. even opening a large -- on floyd bennett field. this is going to cost five billion dollars in the fiscal year. seven billion dollars that we need to find in january. it is economically not sustainable and the place is not sustainable. other cities, people are sleeping in precincts, hospitals, sleeping on the streets. we must come up with a real decompression strategy and ensure that we can use the 108 -- from towns, villages, municipalities, just rubber at this solution across the country and not just certain cities. it's not sustainable, it's unfair to the migrants and unfair to new york taxpayers in the city. >> we saw an audit from the new york times or the last couple of days, there have been thousands of migrants coming in from china that come through south america. it is not just just trying to see that one nationality or some people for their own biased reasons for them to do. but if you're taking heed as other mayors are for budget cuts that you have to propose early, and you did earlier this month, cutting spending at every city agency being the closing libraries on sundays. you have talked about the cost of caring for migrants in haiti for more federal help. what do you say to critics who view your cuts to social spending in particular only making it worse for the problems of homelessness and crime. and you're trying to address that. could the cuts be done differently than what you have laid out? what could the federal government do to help you and other mayors? >> i joined them. i know that new york is angry. i know that migrants are angry. they want to work. they have the opportunity to work in our city and state, and our country. we have a large number of jobs available. this isn't the type of budget that i want. i want a budget where i'm investing in children, families, clean streets. making sure that we continue to get success it we're seeing in the decrease of crime in the city. homicides and shootings are down double digits and our transit system, you're seeing 4 million riders peaking now in our system. this is the budget i, one and i respect the fact that new york is angry. by law, i have to balance the budget in this november plan that was a readjustment. it was the realization that the numbers that we put in place last at the beginning of the year last, year it was not really fitting with the costs were going to be. by law, i am required to balance the budget. when you're looking at roughly 33 billion dollars, it's really what we have on the money having to come from somewhere. we are seeing the perfect storm. the sun is setting for the covid dollars that we've received. we are seeing union contract that had to be settled. many union members were going without contracts. we are seeing the migrant crises. we would not be recovering financially as fast as we want. the team is doing a great job of trying to minimize the pain, but this is the reality that we would face if we don't get the help from the national government that we deserve. >> mayor eric adams, thank you for being on politicsnation with me tonight. >> thank you very much. >> coming up, i will tell you what you can do to rise up against the scourge of hate spreading across the country. and, later as the biden administration works around the clock to free american hostages, americans that are looking at this are seeing republicans bringing politics in the middle of intense negotiations. we will be right back. back. es fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. if you have hepatitis b, don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking dofetilide. this can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. if you have a rash or allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. serious or life-threatening lactic acid buildup and liver problems can occur. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. dovato may harm an unborn baby. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato.
