former sheriff was running for re-election but george gascon withheld critical evidence. this guy is anti-police and anti-crime regarding putting people in jail. he doesn't want to because he believes everyone is a victim of the system. he is basically hurting people in los angeles. i live in los angeles county. >> john: on that point you just made he has an ally of his, robert luna, as the l.a. county sheriff. it was alex villanova, not a fan of his. you mentioned withholding evidence. assistant district attorney, who was in the justice system integrity section, says she was demoted after bringing to attention the fact that gascon allegedly withheld some evidence exonerating officers who were involved in a controversy that was weighing on alex villanova's

re-election. where does that stand at the moment? >> that district attorney, assistant district attorney has been demoted. she is filing a lawsuit. that shows you, john, and the viewers need to know this. the power of the district attorney. he withheld exonerating evidence against an officer in order to hurt alex villanova. this is the power of the legal system. this is that dual system of justice and george gascon will do anything to use legal power of the district attorney to go after his opponents. that's what happened to alex villanova and villanova lost that election. >> john: great to catch up with you again. hope you have a fabulous thanksgiving. >> tell dana to tell percy hello. >> john: i will. [gunfire] . >> dana: israel pushing its offensive in gaza in the final hours of fighting before a truce

with hamas begins. thank you for joining us, i'm dana perino. bill is off today. >> john: good to be with you as always. egyptian state media says the temporary cease-fire starts tomorrow morning. the pause is going to last four days initially. hamas says it will set 50 hostages free. in exchange israel promising to release triple the number of palestinians being held in israeli jails. relatives of the nearly 240 people being held by hamas getting a first moment of hope as they've learned about that deal. >> he was my best friend, my big brother and my safe place and the terrorists take him hostage, take the safe place of every one of them. they need to come home not in coffins. >> that was 47 days ago that my heart has been buried in gaza. and every day i change the number and i pray and hope that

the world will help all of us get our hearts out of gaza. >> dana: lucas tomlinson has response from washington. let's start with trey yengst live in jerusalem with more. is this happening, trey? >> good morning. it does appear it is happening tomorrow morning. both the israelis and hamas say there will be an exchange of hostages for prisoners and then a four-day cease-fire will be part of this entire deal. we just returned from the gaza trip and with the israeli military getting another firsthand look at the fighting that still continues at this hour. both sides continuing fierce battles in and around gaza city. we were at gaza's al-shifa hospital. once the embargo lifts later in the day we'll bring you fresh video inside the tunnels beneath this medical facility. for the first time since this war began got to speak with palestinian civilians inside

gaza. you could see the pain in their eyes as the destruction is so widespread. more than 75% of gazans are displaced amid the war. it comes amid hope for families here in israel about this possible deal that tomorrow would see around ten people released back into israel who were taken hostage on october 7th. in exchange in a 3-1 exchange for palestinian prisoners, the qatarys are working with both sides along with the egyptians and americans trying to get a deal together to allow the loved ones to come back to israel and have a brief pause in the fighting. dana. >> dana: trey yengst, thank you. >> john: at least three americans expected to be released from terrorists in gaza as part of that deal. white house reaction lucas tomlinson is live in nantucket where the president is spending thanksgiving with his family. >> he arrived last night.

today 35 mile-per-hour winds and gusts up to 50. president biden arrived after that deal was announced to free some 50 hostages in exchange for 150 palestinian prisoners. the white house releasing a statement just before midnight last night, john, saying quote i appreciate the commitment that prime minister netanyahu and his government have made to have a pause to make sure the deal can be carried out and insure the provision of humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of families in gaza. it should bring home additional american hostages and not stop until they're all released. here is some reaction from texas senator ted cruz. >> i do worry that as hostilities cease for a short period of time that international pressure and sadly pressure from the biden white house will only get greater, only get more significant to try

to prevent israel from resuming its work to follow through on that commitment in eliminating hamas. >> over 600 miles to the east earlier today u.s. forces carried out another round of air strikes in iraq. according to the pentagon producer, the targets were an operation and command and control building used the hezbollah. here is how u.s. central command described the air strikes as discrete precision strikes against two facilities in iraq in direct response to the attacks against u.s. and coalition forces by iran and their groups. many gop lawmakers say there was intense pressure on the biden white house on the israeli government to make this deal. >> john: lucas tomlinson braving the wind and weather in nantucket. >> dana: today is one of the busiest travel days of the year as millions trying to reach

loved ones for thanksgiving tomorrow. record crowds expected. heavy rain and strong winds up in nantucket are threatening to disrupt some travel plans. aaa forecasts more than 55 million people are expected to travel more than 50 miles from home. let's bring in lee, a travel expert. how does this year compare to other ones? i remember last year was the first post covid crowd seen and it went fairly well. there are pressures on the system. >> yeah, last year people were still reeling from that debacle with the weather and southwest airlines situation. this year things are a little more under control hopefully. you can never control mother nature but i think people realize that they should be getting to the airport early, practicing some patience and hopefully traveling at off-peak times and giving yourself ample time. delays and hassles are inevitable. >> dana: the weather we can't

deal with that and we just have to trust the pilots make the best decision. is there a problem with the shortage in air traffic controllers? is that contributing to some of these delays? >> well, they've been getting blamed quite a bit in the last year or two as everybody knows. if you listen to the government, they are saying they are training more and more and we should be better off this year than we were last year. like you said, i like to think they are doing the right thing and so far so good and we'll see how it goes. again, just got to take precautions and just be diligent. >> dana: the top destinations for the holidays, florida is high on the list, you also have anaheim, california, new york city, we see the tourists here and love having them. las vegas and hawaii and california. the vast middle. country are most people driving in those places? what's the best way to get

around this year? >> it's a combination. here in southern california where i am a lot of people will be driving. the 405 will be a disaster. then you have the i-95 corridor. a lot of people driving or taking trains. with the weather there you don't know how it will go. places like florida and hawaii people will fly to. it will be a combination. today especially is supposed to be the busiest day of the year, this weekend is supposed to be the busiest weekend ever. i think it will be a strong combination and i think it will be tough sledding so to speak however you are traveling. >> dana: doesn't look like a white thanksgiving anywhere. thank you for being here. >> john: a transgender swimmer for a new jersey college is reviving the debate over fairness in women's sports. meghan cortez fields making

into not saying anything. that whole thing about quiet quitting. you will see that happen for women in sports. why do it? go ahead and walk away if some guy will be able to come in and take a fewe estrogen treatments. >> john: lia thomas was almost a full head taller. if you take a look at a picture of meghan cortez fields, the physical difference is very much the same. riley gaines has been very outspoken about this and later on today on america reports she will be joining us with her thoughts. and dana, you said sports athletes. don't forget there are math lets as well. >> dana: explain that one to me during the break. americans on edge, new polling

shows a staggering amount of people are afraid they will become victims as rising crime plagues cities from coast to coast. we'll dig into the numbers. plus this. >> the president thinks so many young people are opposed to? >> the president is focusing on the job at hand. >> dana: the white house dismissing biden's sinking approval ratings as he hits an all-time low in the polls. ron desantis gets crucial support from a notable evangelical leader in iowa. is it enough for the florida governor to win over the hawkeye state? >> i believe ron desantis is that guy and iowa is tailor made for him to win this. then adjusts to help reduce it. for a limited time, save up to $500 on select tempur-pedic adjustable mattress sets.

>> i'm thrilled to throw my personal endorsement and support behind governor ron desantis of florida. he has the spine to do it. i think he has the experience to win for us. >> dana: iowa, leader vander plaats endorsing ron desantis last night. it comes as a crucial time for desantis where evangelicals make up the majority of republican caucus goers in 2016 and likely

again this time around. mark meredith is live in washington with more on this news. hi, mark. >> good morning to you. florida governor ron desantis is betting big on iowa. a first place finish there or a close contest with former president trump could change the 2024 race and last night right here on fox desantis got a big boost after one of iowa's most influential evangelical leaders endorsed the governor and told bret baier why. >> last friday's thanksgiving family forum he closed the sale for me. he was very clear we need a president who can serve two terms, not one term. we don't need a president who will be a lame duck on day one. >> governor desantis pushes a similar message on the campaign trail and won the endorsement of governor kim reynolds and his campaign celebrating the endorsement. he wrote we're thrilled to have them on our team and thankful for their support. the road to america's revival

starts in iowa and we will get the job done. former president trump the frontrunner in iowa less than thrilled with the news accusing desantis through pacs of buying the support. he writes it won't save desantis. entrepreneur ramaswamy adding events in iowa even on this holiday week telling fox this extra effort even on this holiday thanksgiving could pay off. people go to caucus in less than two months. >> i think we're well ahead of where the current media narrative is on the race, which is great for us because it allows us to shatter the expectations set for us. >> iowa just one stop on the campaign trail. we have the new hampshire primary getting closer and looking to see who the governor of new hampshire may end up endorsing. his support could change the shape of the state's primary coming in late january. >> dana: it is all happening. mark meredith, thank you. have a happy thanksgiving. >> john: he doesn't have to

worry about the primaries. president biden's bid to stay in the white house is facing new hurdles as the white house struggles to spin the lowest approval rating of his presidency. the green line is not looking good for him. this op-ed argues it's not about the messaging of his campaign. the problem is the fundamental democratic offering. let's bring in clifford young, and mark penn former clinton pollster. i'm in hog heaven. today i get to discuss polls with actual pollsters. fabulous. mark, let me start with you. one thought among supporters of the president is that the biden campaign seems to -- all it needs to do is better articulate the accomplishments of this president over the past couple years. but then there is another school of thought that i think david axelrod might be counted among this group that voters look at the president and they look at somebody who is well past his best before date and then look at his running mate and they

don't like the running mate too much. what do you say? >> look, i've said for months now the president's numbers have been low. it is very hard to get reelected with a 40% job approval. you need at least 45. it is about the economy, inflation, crime, immigration. it's about doing things about these problems just as when i worked with president clinton, we had an agenda for the future. i haven't heard one. we did things about the problems on a massive scale. and he has a year left to do it but it is not about communications. it is about problems. as i say, when your age is twice as good as your job approval you are in trouble. >> john: he just mentioned it is difficult to get reelected if your approval is below 45. let's flashback to 1967, this time the 21st of november of 1967, lyndon johnson's approval

rating was 42%, disapproval rating 46%. didn't look like it would get better. the end of march of the next year he said i'm not running for re-election. you have to wonder when you look at his numbers, is biden thinking about the same thing? >> i don't think it is good for democrats and what we do know, the other thing we know that's clear is a successor has a much less or lower chance of winning than an incumbent. incumbents are important in an election. i would say that 42/40 is not that low if you look at it in global context. our own data shows that approval rating of 40% gives the sitting president a 50/50 chance of winning the next election. what he has to do is weather the head winds. they're strong and specifically and primarily inflation. it's cut negatively are young

voters, with black voters, hispanic voters. he has to weather that for now. >> john: "the new york times" did a focus group recently where it wrote about and what it found talking to folks in this focus group. the themes that emerged from our talk provide a warning for the party. for more than an hour the participants considered its future and the people who might lead them into it. mr. biden's name didn't come up once until we asked about him. that was more than 75 minutes into the conversation. if the president is not even in the conversation with young voters, where does that leave him? >> well, you know, if i look at the nbc poll that created the ruckus, if you look at the democratic primary he gets 77% of democrats saying they want him to be the democratic nominee. so we can talk about his low ratings but within the democratic party, they have said

biden is it and doesn't look like he will do a lyndon johnson at all. he either has to improve his numbers or lose or project the other candidate as a goldwater, johnson may have pulled out of one race but there are a couple of strategies here that president biden can deploy. getting out doesn't look like it will be one of them. >> john: you mentioned a large number of democrats would vote for him. then there was this one woman, her name is yvonne, 60 years old "the new york times" talked to who said this, clifford. his age is showing a lot. he is not strong. we need someone stronger. we need someone to defeat the other side. unfortunately if it's trump, especially. unfortunately i like the man, biden, but i think his time is done. the problem for the democratic

party is if biden's time is done they are running out of time to put up a candidate to primary him. there are a number of deadlines that have already passed so if they will change horses they will have to do it midstream at the convention. >> even if they change horses, that's a risk, right? successor running has less of a chance. i would say the following. our polling and the polling out there suggests that biden is seen as older, having less energy. but trump is not far behind as well. elections are about choices. >> john: age is a number. an 81-year-old can be like a 60-year-old or they can be like a 95-year-old. >> elections are choices. deciding who you vote for you will consider those things. age will cancel itself out when the other issues come to the fore and other people think about them.

>> john: happy thanksgiving to both of you. thank you for joining us today. appreciate it >> dana: millions of americans taking to the skies today with hopes of making it to their loved ones in time for thanksgiving. will bad weather keep them grounded? the latest forecast and how it could impact holiday travel plans. plus families anxiously awaiting the return of 50 women and children held hostage by hamas. will the pause in fighting make the terror group even more dangerous?

>> dana: families remaining cautiously optimistic of the hamas, israel cease-fire pause. want to bring in israeli consul general, thank you for being here. i'm sorry for what you are going through. if this is a deal, when will we start to see some hostages being released? >> thank you for having me and happy early thanksgiving. we're very thankful, devastated by what happened october 7th with hamas attacking and butchering, raping and executing elderly women and children. now we are thankful for the opportunity to try to release some of our hostages. another war crime that hamas has conducted and have brought over into gaza elderly women,

children, another war crime by taking these babies, 10-month-old, two years old, 4, 6 years old. this is not a prisoner exchange. hamas trading, dealing, not only with bodies but this time with babies. we look forward this that this happen sooner rather than later and happen by the end of this week. as you said and mentioned the families are devastated. hamas is emotionally black mailing both israel through the families but we look forward to create this mechanism of which we can answer 1 of 2 of the goals that we had during that campaign, one to totally eradicate hamas capabilities to hurt us again but the second is bring back the women, men. >> dana: once this pause starts there are calls for a permanent cease-fire that will increase from some people who want israel

to back off. secretary of state mike pompeo said this. >> make no mistake about it. the israelis must continue their effort. the reason these hostages are coming home, if they do, the reason they'll be returned to the families is because of the good work the israelis have done to put pressure on hamas leadership over the past six plus weeks. >> dana: how do you manage the communications to the world that yes, you are going to do this pause, we'll see if it works, you still have hostages remaining, but there are innocent palestinians caught in gaza, again hamas leaves them there, but the calls for this cease-fire will increase. how will you handle it? >> the secretary is 100% right. the reason hamas is even willing to move forward to any exchange is due to the fact that we executed military pressure over there. in the beginning of the campaign when we were joust side they were not willing to talk to us. at this point you have to wait. when we came in we executed this

military pressure, they came up with this offer. second, we know this is not a risk-free policy. the fact that we are now pausing for four days is not because hamas is now going to develop gaza. they'll rearm and regroup and pose additional threat towards our military that is in northern part of gaza. however, we -- this is an utmost goal of ours to make sure the hostages come back sooner rather than later and what we have to focus on at the present. >> dana: american families will be gathering tomorrow for thanksgiving. what would you ask us to pray for? >> this war is not between israel and hamas. this war is between israel and iran's proxies, hamas, hezbollah, houthis, all around syria. a war between humanity and b

barberism. we know american interests are supporting interest. we are grateful to america as a whole for supporting israel. what we should wish for in this thanksgiving is to make sure the right side of history prevails. that we will have also our hanukkah coming up very soon. that light will prevail over darkness, good over evil and god willing we'll make sure this happens sooner rather than later. >> dana: we're with you. >> god bless you. thank you very much. >> john: americans are looking over their shoulders even in their own neighborhoods. a recent poll 40% said they are afraid of walking alone at night within a mile of their homes. david spunt live in washington with more. david, this is a different america than many of us remember. >> it really is.

problem not only in the nation's capitol but philadelphia, chicago, san francisco, and many cities in between large and small people are concerned about crime, especially those numbers have increased since the pandemic, since the covid pandemic. that 40% statistic is from gallup poll. the highest number in three decades, 1993 we saw it at 43%, then ten years later 36%. now, americans woreed about specifics crimes getting mugged, murdered or victim of a hate crime. these numbers are adding the sums of frequently and occasionally together. still those numbers are concerning. in washington, d.c., john, police have recorded 249 homicides as of today. that's a 35% increase compared to the year before. the district has not seen this many murders in 20 years. you look at the year-to-date

crime comparison. 249, 184 last year. robberies 3150, up 67%. motor vehicle theft in d.c. ouch 96%. both sides of the aisle blame each other. according to the fox news poll which party would do a better job on crime? democrats rank 41%. republicans rank at 53%. automatically each side will blame one another. when you look at some of the cities specifically the district attorneys, the prior district attorney in san francisco, who is gone now he was under fire. larry krasner in philadelphia is facing criticism about a revolving door. >> john: as we mentioned the d.a. in alameda county is under fire as well. david spunt on the streets of

>> dana: less than a week after the shocking removal of open a.i.'s ceo, sam altman is now back to lead the firm. a wave of pressure from employees and investors when originally fired by the board. >> does it remind you of the hbo silicon valley? >> dana: yes, i loved that show. >> five days of chaos. this company was informed. it would tell us who would be

leading the a.i. artificial intelligence revolution. last night sam altman reinstated. this announcement saying we've reached and agreement in principle for sam altman to return to open a.i. as ceo. brett taylor, former twitter board chair that went head-to-head with elon musk coming on. larry summers the former treasury secretary and another one stays on as part of this deal. altman gets a new board because he was fired by the former members on friday but he himself doesn't get a board seat. they will look to add as many as six new directors. microsoft will likely get a seat. the largest investors and instrumental getting altman back in as ceo. he is encouraged by the changes to the open a.i. board. altman says he loves open a.i. and everything i've done over

the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. also part of this deal the company will investigate these allegations that altman wasn't always candid with the board. we don't know what they are just yet. even at this point. now, this is a big deal. as i mentioned to you this will decide who will lead the a.i. revolution and the reason that we've been talking about artificial intelligence for the past 12 months or so, often 90% of the staff threatened to leave. if they didn't bring altman on the staff would probably move to microsoft with altman. so you are giving power of a.i. to a large corporation. if we're talking about safety do you want it in the hands of big business? >> dana: i don't know. is it better than in the hands of a board that's completely erratic? perhaps, i don't know. >> that was part of the split as well. was it about being a for-profit institution instead of a nonprofit and also what about

his conflicts of interest with his other private ventures? >> dana: it is all up in the air but got it settled for thanksgiving. >> bill: the troubling story. the mother of an eighth grade girl stabbed 14 times in a georgia school gym last spring is now suing the school district for failing to prevent the brutal attack. the lawsuit alleges a school resource officer notified administrators at the school of a knife threat. nothing was done. let's bring in ashley wilson, the victim's mother and her attorney andrew gold. ashley, as a parent i can't imagine what you are going through here with this happening to your daughter. my understanding is the background to all of this is that there was some online bullying directed to one of your daughter's friends. what happened that day in the school gym? >> my daughter had only been at school for about 15 minutes and she was walking to the gym class

and the attacker approached her, harassing her and other teachers witnessed the harassment and the bullying and did nothing to prevent it. and that's when my daughter was jumped by three students, one of them being the girl with the weapon and she was attacked brutally in the gym. teachers stood around and it was all up to courageous 13-year-old boy that stepped in and saved my daughter's life. >> john: she was jumped by three students? >> yes, sir. >> john: any kind of provocation or did they suddenly attack her? >> they were looking for the girl that was meant to be attacked. >> john: oh my goodness. andrew, let me go to you. my understanding of this is that there were multiple warnings to school administrators, at least one brought to administrators by the school resource officer that

the girl in question here had brought a knife to school and yet nothing was done. >> that's correct. so the administrators of the middle school were notified on march 14th that this student had a knife on campus. the police officer notified them that the student had a knife on campus. the administrators did nothing despite their policies and procedures that they are required to investigate. they didn't do any investigation. they didn't check the student. and they didn't notify the parents of middle school students that the police officer had notified them of a child being on campus with a knife. and then the next day, they are again notified that the same student has a knife on campus and again do nothing. as a result, ashley's daughter is stabbed at least 14 times. >> john: this happened in henry county, georgia. i used to live in atlanta so

quite familiar with it. the superintendent of schools said. listen here. >> as your superintendent, i accept the responsibility for creating systems that insure students learn at high levels and that students have opportunities to succeed. my first and most significant responsibility is to insure a safe school for every one of our nearly 44,000 students. >> john: she says her first and most significant responsibility is to insure a safe school. that didn't happen in this case despite warnings. what should have happened when administrators were notified that this young girl had a knife? >> according to their handbook, they were supposed to act immediately. they were supposed to set out certain rob owe calls to alert parents of the threat and get the child investigated, searched. they were supposed to talk to other students and they did
