8:01 am
smoke over northern gaza right now just one day after israel and hamas had agreed to extend their cease-fire. israel says the terror group broke the deal. shocking. we're now waiting to here how it will affect the planned release of ten additional hostages today. heartbreaking. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." the israel defense force spokesperson announced that hamas has transferred a 10-month-old little baby who now we understand has turned 11 months old. remember, it has been 53 days, along with his 4-year-old big brother and their mom to a different palestinian terror group in gaza. that official says the intention is to use the baby as a human shield when the cease-fire completely ends. hamas has released only one american so far in its hostage
8:02 am
releasing and national security counsel spokesman said this yesterday. >> he has made it clear to qatar and prime minister netanyahu how strong life we want to see the american hostages get released. it's important to remember, martha, the only kinds of hostages that hamas is willing to let go right now are women and children. we think the majority of americans held hostage are male. we have been in touch with the families, of course, and making it clear we are trying to do the best we can to get information about their loved ones short of actual release. it is difficult to do. >> harris: as of today 51 israeli hostages have been freed after more than 50 days as captive. we are seeing many emotional family reunions now. right here the mom of one of the former hostages who is just 12 years old. that's her son. always her baby. and these children back with their family and their beloved
8:03 am
dog rodney, we're told. all the images are truly wonderful. the trauma for many may last for the rest of their lives. in "focus" former israeli ambassador to the united nations. first nate foye in northern israel with the latest on the ground. nate. >> harris, today both israel and hamas accuse the other of violating the terms of their extended temporary cease-fire. the idf says hamas terrorists caused three explosions in the northern gaza strip that injured several israeli soldiers. non-seriously and led to a gun fight between israeli soldier and hamas terrorists. look at the new video from the northern gaza strip as you see smoke. this is the most obvious breach of the cease-fire to date. it happens as c.i.a. director bill burns is in doha meeting with israeli and qatari officials to discuss the
8:04 am
possibility of extending the pause in fighting, which is set to run through tomorrow. it is unclear if these explosions will impact today's expected prisoner hostage exchange. ten israelis are set to be freed from gaza. for 30 palestinian prisoners going back. four of the every 150 hostages being held in gaza right now are 10-month-old baby, and his 4-year-old brother and their parents. it is possible the boys are being held by islamic jihad. israel and the boys' family are holding hamas responsible. >> hamas is controlling there powerfully. i think in my opinion again that saying they don't know where they are is another way of stalling and buying time. >> harris, the white house estimates 8 or 9 american hostages remain in gaza, the
8:05 am
majority are believed to be men. hamas is only exchanging women and children so far like 4-year-old abigail edan released. her parents were murdered by hamas terrorists. more tension also, harris, on the northern border that you see behind me with lebanese media reporting that an israeli shell landed in southern lebanon. idf hasn't confirmed that and no further escalation. unclear if that violence either here but really more so in northern gaza will have any impact on the expected prisoner hostage exchange that could start any moment now. we'll send it back to you. >> harris: that little baby, we know from the aunt on "fox & friends" this morning, has now turned 11 months old. wow, time is passing. nate foye, great reporting as always. thank you. in "focus" from tel aviv, ambassador, the former ambassador to the united states and member of israel us a house of representatives. thank you for being in "focus" today.
8:06 am
first of all, i know you have been throughout the course of things in contact with hostage families. tell me what you can share about those conversations and those who have gone free as well, whatever you know about them. >> harris, it is very hard for the families and people in israel. every day we get release of the people supposed to be released and even now if you are of -- we don't know if those coming to israel will arrive. hamas is a very vicious, cynical, terrorist organization and use psychological terror against our people. also the families. we spoke with the families that were reunited and heard horrible testimonials about the way they were treated. every night when you see the release, they look human because they escort them to the car but that's a show. that is a show. basically they are torturing our
8:07 am
people. i don't want to go into details of starvation and other things we heard testimony of. 12 years old that he was beaten up every day and made him see videos of the massacre of october 7th. we have know with who we are dealing and we are committed to continue with the war effort until we eradicate evil. we are doing our best to rescue as many hostages as we can but we never forget that the goal of the war is to eliminate hamas and we intend to do it. >> harris: just quickly there is this other palestinian group. it could be palestinian islamic jihad, we aren't sure because our own leadership at the white house representative of the president, john kirby, says that they don't really know who is holding or how many hostages they could be holding. what can you tell us about that situation? >> we expect hamas to be responsible for everything that is happening in gaza. they claim to be in charge so they bear the responsibility.
8:08 am
but we know that you have gangs, you have islamic jihad and different groups but in the past hamas when they wanted to achieve something, they knew how to enforce it. we expect them to collect hostages and to let us know about them. and also let's not forget about the red cross. we haven't seen one visit of the red cross to our hostages for 50 days. that's unacceptable. >> harris: that is almost unheard of. that is almost unheard of. let me get in with this. a bit of politics now. the progressive left of democrats here in the united states is now calling for so-called conditions on whether and how the united states would help our top ally in the region, israel. vermont senator bernie sanders last week said this. a quote ambassador, the blank check approach must end. the united states must make clear that while we are friends of israel, there are conditions
8:09 am
to that friendship and that we cannot be complicit that violate international law and our decency. the idea is gaining ground inside the democratic party. watch. >> i do believe that the level of civilian harm inside gaza has been unacceptable and is unsustainable. we regularly condition our aid to allies based upon compliance with u.s. law and international law. so i think it's very consistent the ways in which we have dispensed age especially during wartime. >> harris: if you think it stops there it doesn't. jake sullivan did not rule out the possibility of conditions over the weekend and neither did president biden. watch. >> mr. president, there are members of your party who would like to see conditions placed on aid to israel. what is your view of that? an adoption -- [inaudible].
8:10 am
>> president biden: i think that's a worthwhile thought. >> harris: ambassador, your reaction to it all? >> that is shameful to hear bernie sanders. maybe he should look back at what happened to us on october 7th to see the raping, the kidnapping, the massacre. we're still identifying the bodies of the people who were burned to death while they were alive with their families. we don't accept that. we know the majority of the american people stand with us. support us, pray for us every day and we appreciate that. and in the same way the u.s. fought al qaeda, there were no conditions for that. you fought al qaeda until you eliminated them. that's what we intend to do and we know that the american people, the american spirit is with us despite the voices you just showed. they should be shamed on themselves. >> harris: it is interesting because some of those voices are sitting members on the hill, capitol hill and congress. while the people may want one thing those people on capitol
8:11 am
hill are pulling the purse strings. i hear the indignation in your voice. it must be frustrating. you know how many of us are praying with you. ambassador, thank you very much. >> thank you very much, harris. >> harris: the hostage taking serial killers, hamas terrorists, took nearly 240 hostages on october 7th during the massacre. more than 50 days later families of 164 people still held captive are desperate for them to be freed, for any information about who has them, how long it is going to take. hamas kidnapped then 15-year-old boy. his mother watched. now he has turned 16 as a hostage. his dad was injured after hamas burned down their home in the massacre. in "focus" now, his cousin.
8:12 am
there are no words to sum up what could happen next because we don't know. tell me presently what is happening? >> yes, currently we're waiting -- we've been waiting for the fifth day to see his name on the list of hostages to be released. he is still not on the list. there is still tomorrow and we are hoping that he will be on the list tomorrow. but it has been very agonizing to wait day after day and over 50 days of him being in captivity and knowing nothing as to his condition or well-being. >> harris: i know that his father watched that proceeding. do you know the details of what happened when he was taken? >> yeah. so he was kidnapped on saturday morning the 7th of october, which was also a jewish holiday. he was at home at his mom's home with his two younger sisters who
8:13 am
are 12 and 10 and he was 15 when he was captured. he turned 16-year-old in captivity. and his mom and sisters were left behind because there was no space for them in the car that he was taken in. and so while the terrorists were waiting for another car to take them back to gaza as well there was a distraction caused by gunfire. the terrorists went to handle that and the mom and two sisters took that opportunity to basically escape. >> harris: i know that there was some texting going on with a group of his teenage friends in the kibbutz there as hamas attack was unfolding. i understand that you have translated some of that from hebrew to english for us. i'll read it. at 10:38 that morning, at my mom's urgent. they are shooting and knocking at the door. also 10:38, seconds later.
8:14 am
they're about to break it at any moment. 10:43, they are shooting. el. >> yeah. so it was over a period of about an hour and a half some frantic texts from him and also 13 to 17-year-olds in that group chat. people are reporting their house is burning. they can't breathe. in fact, there are a few names in those text messages that i know are kids who were killed or murdered on that day. and you can tell the spelling is all jumbled and you can tell everyone is very frantic. >> harris: i will ask my team to continue the text line if they can. so at 12:16, some time passed and at 12:16, we need urgently house 112. they broke in. there are terrorists in my
8:15 am
house. this is now happening sporadically. the last few texts were at 12:17 and that was the last anyone heard from amit. you say you are waiting for his name to appear on a list. no doubt where you are, you are ahead of us in time. you know that two-day cease-fire didn't hold for more people to come out. >> yeah. we're very happy for every single hostage that is being returned. for every returned hostages there are hostages still in gaza in unknown conditions. the vast majority of those that were taken that day are still there. including amit. >> harris: what is the conversation like right now with your family just in terms of how much information you are getting from the government? what kind of support? how supported do you feel? >> not very supported because there is not much information to
8:16 am
pass on to us. we're just sort of helpslessly waiting every day. in these six days to see whether his name is on the list and there is not much we can do. it is just waiting. >> harris: my prayers, my thoughts are with you. i know that these days are filled with agony for you. some coming home, though, and that is at least a break in the grip that these killers have. right now on the world. we're all captivated and praying with you. thank you very much for joining me. i wish only the best for amit. >> thank you for having me. >> harris: absolutely. biden's border crisis is causing some big trouble in tucson, arizona. the border sector there is so overwhelmed with illegal immigrants officials are forced to stop essential activities.
8:17 am
the president's brutal poll numbers brought on by some of the pictures on the border. terrorists among those people. but especially on the economy has the white house playing defense. fingers pointing at everybody. but not at themselves. it will get complicated. power panel is next. >> as a young person graduating from college it is scary, housing prices and everything across the board. i don't think any young american is pleased with the job that joe biden has done. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. if you need cash for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call.

8:21 am
(music ends)
8:22 am
>> harris: things are getting a bit tense at the white house. at least at the briefing yesterday. more questions about president biden's brutal poll numbers. >> given the president's sagging
8:23 am
poll numbers and the fact that he is currently placing behind any republican opponent, has there been any talk in the white house about the change if strategy or staffing going forward? >> no. >> why do you think it is when you say the economy is improving and president biden says the economy is improving that a majority of americans outside of this building are not buying it? >> we understand what americans have been feeling over the last 2 or 3 years. it will take some time. we actually had to fix the problem that we saw that the last administration left us. >> harris: in other words, they don't care how americans feel. they want you to play by their game. the game she is playing is the blame game. a recent "wall street journal" poll finds faith in the american dream has cratered under this administration. only 36% say it is now achievable. that's down from 68% last year. this is not helping.
8:24 am
here is the headline. here is how a $16 mcdonalds meal might crush biden's 2024 hopes. yeah, we aren't just feeling it, we're spending that cash faster on stuff that used to cost a lot less. for his part, the president admits to the sticker shock but he has found a scapegoat. >> president biden: we know the prices are still too high for too many things. that times are still too tough for too many families. let me be clear. any corporation that hasn't brought their prices back down even as inflation has come down, even as the supply chains have been rebuilt, it is time to stop the price gouging and giving the american consumer a break. >> harris: is he calling for the government to mandate price dropping? that wouldn't be american. gianno caldwell and doug shown. is that what corporations doing,
8:25 am
gouging? or is inflation high? it's ticked down. that amount based on the 9 to 10% more paying last year and cooking ever since. the prices don't come down, just how fast they continue to go up comes down. >> that's right. harris, as a strategist listening to this, to think that the answer to inflation is blame donald trump on one hand and blame american corporations for price gouging on the other makes no sense. what the administration should be doing is reducing spending, tightening the border, and making it clear that we need to work to understand and take care of the issues people are facing at the pump and the grocery store, not attack, attack, attack. there is plenty of time in the campaign for that. now is the time for policy solutions, not rhetoric. >> harris: gianno.
8:26 am
>> they've come up with a policy solution, they call it bidenomics. only 37% of americans agree of joe biden's handling of the economy. when you think about the fact that inflation peaked in june of 2022 at 9.1% but yet prices are still up 18% over 2019, we have a tremendous problem in this country. a lot of people get their wealth from their homes. a mortgage you will be looking at 7% versus 2%, which it was in recent years. we're in a terrible set of circumstances in this country. joe biden deserves the blame for a lot of what has happened because they continue to gas light and say his policies are working when they clearly aren't. >> harris: the blame game, okay. how about the responsibility game? why doesn't anybody take responsibility and accountability for the things he has done? he has been in office for two years. who else could have done it?
8:27 am
a possible third-party presidential run is really worrying the influential center left group. the third way. the group's co-founder matt bennett pushing back on claims by senator manchin and the no labels claim that a third party would not hurt joe biden and would help donald trump. bennett says no labels leadership appears to be the only people on the planet earth who think they can win. one concern about a third-party run on a scale of 1 to 100, it's 100. >> at this point, i think joe manchin would be a very weak candidate, probably would hurt joe biden as a democrat were he to run. really, i think what no labels and any third party needs is a fresh face. we've seen polls with robert f. kennedy, jr. polling as much as
8:28 am
25% because whatever his flaws may be. i think they are there. he at least is offering fresh ideas and a fresh approach. we don't need warmed-over politicians running on bipartisan tickets at this point if there is to be a third party, we need fresh faces, new ideas, and a bold approach. as we had with ross perot in 1992. >> harris: i'm just dying to ask the question who do you replace joe biden with quickly and we'll go to gianno? >> yeah, i think right now joe biden doesn't run, it will be kamala harris, as weak as she is. i see gianno laughing, as he should. i think gavin newsom, who will be debating sean hannity -- >> harris: he is debating ron desantis, the governor of florida. sean hannity is moderating. it will be spicy and tell a lot. >> yes, sure. >> i think democrats are looking
8:29 am
for choices, especially american voters, but who would be the right person to replace joe biden? gavin newsom is the only person signing up for the job. meeting with the president of china, doing all the activities that one would do if they were looking to run for the president of the united states. and joe biden apparently is backing him saying he should have the job. so this is an interesting dichotomy we find ourselves in. >> harris: we'll move, gentlemen. great to have you both. important times to be together and hear from every perspective. thank you. new york city officials investigating this terrifying scene at a high school. hundreds of students stormed the halls over the teacher who went to a pro-israel rally and now many are demanding more to be done to stop anti-semitism in schools. yeah, a lot more. we are back with our families in "focus" series and this time i sat down with republican

8:37 am
carolina and then u.s. ambassador to the united states under president donald trump. but it has always been just the haleys. >> michael and i met my first weekend at clemson and go gotten engaged there. i was born in sandburg, south carolina, two spop lights. 2500 people. we were the only indian family in that small southern town. we weren't white enough to be white or black enough to be black. they didn't know who we were or what we were or why we were there. when you've been teased for something you can't fix, it hits home. i mean, it cuts deep. >> harris: haley's parents believed in settling differences by pointing to similarities. as you grow up, that common ground is the american dream. >> my mom was a social studies
8:38 am
teacher. my dad was a professor. they came here with $8 in their pocket because they wanted a better life for their kids. >> harris: and a better life for future grandkids, too. meet reina, 25 years old. null wed. their mom has been in political leadership most of their lives including the grade school years in the south carolina governor's mansion. >> my dad being deployed and my mom in public service they taught us to love and respect this country and blessed to live in america. >> they worked hard to keep it very normal for us. we weren't really in tv a lot. in the mansion they made it very had a basketball hoop in the driver way. >> she played basketball? >> the basketball queen. >> that's good information there.
8:39 am
>> harris: running for the republican presidential nomination is a family affair like never before. >> maybe the nation was focused on seeing you was sitting in a place where your mom could make eye contact with you during the debates. >> it is. my dad was always that person for my mom and someone she could pinpoint and know she is okay and got the good energy. that's kind of the role i took on with my dad being gone was being at all the debates and being that person that she sees and a familiar face. >> harris: are you really making eye contact? >> yes, thumbs up. smile. >> harris: are you into politics? >> no. >> this summer i worked with the campaign since going back to school i decided to do the $5 fridays, we send out a text and we talk about either an issue or just a memory as a family that
8:40 am
we have had and we just ask for $5 and they've been pretty -- doing pretty well. >> harris: do you want to go into politics? >> i hope it doesn't come to that. >> harris: he have is modest. he has a knack for small donation fundraising. >> you wanted your children to have what? >> they both grew up in the christian faith but go visit with my parents in the indian church and they would go and experience that. so i feel like they got both traditions even though, you know, their faith is christian. >> it played a role in 24/7 all the time. especially my mom is my constant reminder. >> i will sometimes send him my devotional. i will send it to both of them. >> experiencing marriage and having god in the center of our marriage is such a gift. >> harris: they are so proud of you. >> i'm proud of them. the goal was always to make sure
8:41 am
we have that family dinner and they knew we were there. >> harris: what was your favorite meal to make for everybody and did you guys pitch in? >> they are laughing because i don't cook. >> she didn't make anything. >> if michael didn't work, we didn't eat. [laughter] we have always just enjoyed watching football and kind of another bonding moment for us. >> harris: south carolina friday ni night. his school is in the playoffs. >> that's a lot of confidence. >> oh. [laughter] >> harris: friday night lights, nothing better. i love bringing you a special look at the candidates through the eyes of the people who
8:42 am
really do know them best. all right. we'll move back now to what's happening half the world away. so remember not too long ago toward the beginning of the war with israel and hamas the explosion near the gaza hospital last month that many people around the world, especially some of those anti-israel protestors in the streets here, were blaming israel for. well, finally even though we've seen the evidence and we know what happened, a human rights organization with a long anti-israel history admits evidence shows it was likely caused by the terrorists. now, there is some confusion over whether it might be hamas or the palestinian islamic jihadists. that's a possibility. they're all terrorists. still, not a peep from the members of the far left squad on capitol hill. the democrats who make it their business to show us what they think we should do.
8:43 am
anyway, they had a lot of judgment on this. we'll just follow the facts just like that anti-israel group who just admitted it. plus sp"sports illustrated" accused of using a.i. for poorly written content by writers who don't exist. tammy bruce goes deep in "focus" next. veterans, if you're applying for a home loan to get cash...surprise. some lenders charge hundreds upfront for your appraisal and other fees. not at newday. a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose new neuriva ultra. unlike some others, it supports 7 brain health indicators, including mental alertness from one serving. to help keep me sharp. try new neuriva ultra. think bigger.

8:49 am
she posted support for israel on social media and attended a pro-israel rally. she reportedly hid inside a locked office before police could reach her and escort her out of the school. the school suspended some of those students but the city school's chancellor insists it wasn't as bad as it looks. hum. >> contrary to reports, the november 20th incident was promptly addressed and brought under control of the principal, staff and nypd. teacher was not in direct danger. we have taken disciplinary action against some of the students. >> harris: wait a minute. that was dozens of people but it wasn't so bad? alexis mcadams is in queens with more. alexis. >> some of the people who go to school here did think it was pretty bad. i talked to some of those students who say they were nervous as the school went on lockdown which they tell me happened quite a few times so far this school year alone.
8:50 am
where it all went down at the high school right behind me as you said those dozens of students going out into the hallway specifically targeting that teacher based on her support for israel. it was supposed to be a peaceful protest hijacked by im mature teenagers. >> they did it for their personal enjoyment and pleasure and what caused the problem. school property was damaged. certain individuals, they were mentally hurt. >> this is what it looked like last week inside the high school in queens. video blurred because students are underage. hundreds flooding the halls yelling things likefree palestinian and waving palestinian flags. things got out of control. no students were arrested but some were suspended. how did it begin? this photo of a teacher holding a sign that reads i stand with israel. it was shared on social media by students according to people we
8:51 am
talked to leading to outrage. today new york city council member says the police had to escort the teacher out of the building but the chancellor of the school denies that teacher was ever barricaded in a classroom in the first place and experts her to return to school this week. >> we will insure her safety and not like by armed guards. that's not what we expect will be happening here. the students themselves, the faculty here, will wrap arms around and insure the safety. >> wrap arms around that teacher and insure she is safe. we'll see how it plays out and why we see the nypd school officers on scene. >> harris: the first time i hear that they are calling the teacher a liar saying she wasn't actually locked in for protection? >> they said she was in the school's principal's office
8:52 am
talking with them about her concerns about her safety but said she was never barricaded. the officers had to escort her out the front doors here. so she did talk to the "new york post" and said that she has been a teacher in this district for quite a while and doesn't feel like anybody should have to feel unsafe. we'll see when she comes back to school. >> harris: tammy bruce and i were talking to continue on. you have the facts here. it has been reported that she is of the jewish faith. a jewish american. any talk of any sort of hate crime language going on around here? >> at this time the nypd is still investigating. you heard from the council member earlier this morning on fox who says they are looking into this and is calling for further investigation. we'll see if the teacher talks about that to officials. >> harris: alexis, thank you. always great reporting. tammy bruce is sitting right here with me, fox news contributor. you know, i just look at these situations and i thought of it when attorney general merrick garland had a big news
8:53 am
conference around unfortunately three young men who had been shot and they are palestinian. and i just wonder if, you know, we just want to make sure everything is even handed here. if they are looking at that and the attorney general makes an announcement about that and some other things, i didn't see one and perhaps i missed it and i'm sure the ratio will be quick to tell me on social media if i did, but was there a news conference from the attorney general explaining what had gone on with the jewish man and the posters who fell backwards and hit his head after being hit with something and died? i'm just curious about those things. >> we see a different kind of reaction. it's unfortunate and it speaks to the nature of this attempt to have some kind of moral relativism that goes on. if a jewish woman having to lock herself in an office for safety in a school she taught at for years it is not such a big deal, come on. everything is fine. yet he goes on to describe all
8:54 am
the kinds of units that were required to quell that? it wasn't a protest from the video and what we've heard, it was a mob looking for her. so the only people they didn't call down was superman and batman to try to help. this is the kind of thing that gets diminished. this is not a problem. some of the students were suspended, which means there was ring leaders perhaps. it also brings into question that school, as the reports indicate, is 30% muslim and so is there a radicalization and would it be something like tiktok? what about those ring leaders? how old were they? what about those families? are they new to the country? we must find out what would cause in an american school a jewish teacher to have to be protected and have their school wrap their arms around her? what is the problem? it's not the jewish teacher but
8:55 am
what she is facing in that environment. >> harris: all the lanes they better be looking at in education. they better be. this is being replicated across the country now. we've seen it on college campuses as well. i brought up something yesterday with one of my guests, ambassador sales at the time. where is the united nations and some of the women's groups for the sex crimes that we know were perpetrated by hamas on israeli women on october 7th? >> the same u.n. as an example where the security council wound condemn what hamas did october 7th. u.n. women's groups are silent. rape has been used in war and this is horrible attacks on women and girls. just savage attacks and yet the american feminist movement is silent, the u.n. is silent. because it's not about the issue for women. it has been about leftist ideology. that's the problem. >> harris: thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." "outnumbered" next.
