>> griff: americans on high alert this dumpings giving. explosion on the rainbow bridge killed two people and set off major alarm bells before officials announced there was no connection to terrorism. the cause of the explosion now believed to be a speeding car that crashed on the u.s. side of the border. this latest incident comes as u.s. government warns law enforcement nationwide the ongoing war in the middle east could lead to a potential attack in our country. welcome to a special edition of fox news live i'm griff jenkins. >> julie: i'm julie banderas. terrorism fears is how the israel and gaza war has warned the threat of a terror attack is the highest level we've seen in years. tourists and new yorkers alike are flooding the big apple for the annual macy's thanksgiving parade where pro-palestinian protests are also planned for

today. >> griff: ted williams joins us in a moment with more on the heightened tensions from the israel/hamas war and the terror threat facing the u.s. >> julie: adam is live in new york city with a look at how police and everyone are keeping safe ahead of the parade and now as the parade is right behind you, hi, alexis. >> good morning from in front of the building of fox news headquarters seeing the floats go by for the parade. we see thousands of people out here. security is top of mind. we see nypd officers out in full force trying to make sure everybody is safe. listen. >> we have been preparing for this event all year long. working closely with our federal, state, and local partners. >> those preps for the 97th parade are done and time to see

the dozens of specialty floats coming by right now. a lot are impressive. 12 marching bands across the country waiting for this day for months preparing and getting ready as the nypd remains on high alert. no specific threats to the macy's thanksgiving day parade but the israel/hamas war has created a heightened threat environment and beefing up controls to make people safe. the crowds are massive out here. more people are showing up by the minute. this is all along the parade route in new york city. 3 1/2 million people watching this parade in person along the 2 1/2 mile route. one planned protest in support of the palestinian people is going on along the route today. we just heard those protestors chanting for a cease-fire now. calling on people to also show up later in manhattan to get involved in their movement. the city is aware and ready to handle it. watch. >> we will continue to be out in full force and we will continue

to monitor all the chatter that is taking place to insure that people can enjoy the holiday. we will do our job. your job is to have as much fun as possible. >> you can see those floats here right over my shoulder behind me. everyone has their favorite but there is lots of creativity and fun. the main message is safety with so much going on across the country and around the world. >> julie: thank you very much. it is a beautiful day, that's for sure. thank you, alexis. >> griff: let's bring in ted williams former d.c. homicide detective and attorney and fox news contributor. happy thanksgiving, how are you? >> happy thanksgiving to you, griff, and to our viewing audience out here in the country and the world. >> griff: you can't get around the heightened alert and heard countless officials in the

administration to include f.b.i. that the events in israel could add to events at home. you heard alexis talking about the heightened security in new york at the macy's day parade and all on pins and needles yesterday the horrific situation at the border. no nexus is terrorism but a stark reminder indeed of how much precaution we should be taking. how does law enforcement reassure americans that we'll be okay? just go about your daily lives? >> well, you know, griff, as you know, i grew up in lake charles, louisiana, and it was at a time like during this time of the year where you would be getting ready for the festiveness of the

holidays. and here we are now under siege looking out for our brothers and sisters because of terrorist acts. i have to tell you, law enforcement need the help of the citizens. they can't do it alone. they have to have the eyes and ears of citizens. if you see something out there, you must say something. you must talk to law enforcement officers. we have intelligence units in the various law enforcement agencies and those are working around the year to try to keep us safe. but the only people who are going to keep us most safely is us ourselves. >> griff: ted, u.s. intelligence analysts are saying that they've seen no indication of hamas calling for attacks in the u.s.

or that there is anything specific threat out there. however, how concerned are you that the events of the israel-hamas war may motivate a lone wolf? >> i'm deeply concerned. you know, we have home-grown terrorists and we don't know who those terrorists are. as the attacks in the middle east there on israel, they were not expecting it. they had let their guards down, unfortunately, in the middle east and they were attacked by hamas. in this country, we cannot afford to let our guards down. while we are sleeping, there are terrorist cells in this country that are waiting for instructions to harm and hurt us. so we have to continue to be

very vigilant in this country. there are people -- people that we see on a daily basis, that are unfortunately terrorists that are willing and ready and prepared to bring havoc on this country. so what i'm saying again, griff, is we must partner with law enforcement and we must be the ears and the eyes of law enforcement. we must help them to help ourselves. >> griff: ted, you know, while the entire country is on heightened alert for a potential terror attack, the jewish and muslim communities are under intense scrutiny with threats to their communities if only even verbal, we see it on a daily basis and it is too much. thank you for taking time and happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving again to you, griff.

>> julie: fox news alert. in just under 24 hours from now the first hostages will be released. you are looking at smoke rising in gaza. the troop begins at midnight. that was set up, they laid out the plan of how they plan on releasing 50 hostages beginning at 9:00 a.m. eastern time tomorrow. the first 13 hostages they will be women and children will be released over the course of a four-day period. appointed officials are checking the details of the list right now and whose names are on that list. they are going to get into contact with all the families at this moment but one of the reasons for the release and for the delay of the release is because israel wanted to confirm the names on the list and who they are so that they indeed are going to get their end of the bargain. part of this swap is essentially getting 50 hostages released

from gaza out of hamas's hands and into the hands of their families. the red cross will be awaiting their evacuation into egypt and in exchange 150 palestinian prisoners will be released. again, this truce takes place at midnight. hostage release begins at 9:00 a.m. eastern and last four days and beginning with 13 women and children starting tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. of course as the news breaks we'll bring it to you from the middle east. the biden administration thinks americans should be thankful for lower inflation. have you noticed lower inflation? costs are down for some thanksgiving staples in many families are struggling with higher prices is what i think. lucas tomlinson is live in nantucket, massachusetts. i'm jealous about your assignment today. it's my favorite place on earth. >> i don't blame you for saying

that. it's great. happy thanksgiving traveling with president biden. while the rate of increase of inflation has slowed, food prices have not gone down. our most important commodity next to fossil fuels. have some local news to share with you here on nantucket, island. last night a fire alarm went off at president biden's home where he is staying, the $34 million home. we are told it was a false alarm. the fire brigade deployed. trucks rolled out but didn't quite reach the biden compound. perhaps that's one of the reasons why president biden, when he was speaking earlier, thanked local responders. >> president biden: today is about coming together, giving thanks to this country we call home and thanks to all the firefighters, police officers, first responders and troops. some of whom are stationed abroad. i have never been more optimistic. >> president biden says he is grateful for lower prices,

folks, no matter where you are heading this holiday season are heading there for less. gas is down, airfare is down and car prices are down 10% and not done taking action to get the prices down everywhere. let's look at the stat on the gas prices. they might have gone down recently. compared to the day president biden took office gas prices are still up 37%. here is the inflation chart. the rate of inflation has gone down. the rate of increase has gone down, it is still above the 2% target rate. the high prices from a year ago still feel locked in. everyone handed a receipt knows over the past two years. switching gears the war against hamas, president biden is hopeful the 50 hostages, all women and children, will be released beginning tomorrow. that's the expectation. white house spokesman john kirby tells me this deal could still fall apart. >> we'll be watching this like a

hawk. the devil is in the details and the execution. so we'll be watching to see that all sides meet their commitments and we know and recognize that one party to this agreement is a terrorist organization. a terrorist organization that hasn't always abided by the commitments that they have made. >> the white house says in president's call with benjamin netanyahu he stressed maintaining calm along the border with lebanon. today hezbollah has fired over 50 rockets into israel. the most since the october 7th massacre. also the u.s.s. missile destroyer shot down a number of drones fired by the iranian backed groups in yemen. the attacks against american forces has not slowed despite the air strikes against them recently. now on a much lighter note, julie, i hate to break it to the good people of massachusetts and the people of nantucket but the

first thanksgiving was not in massachusetts. it was in virginia. julie. >> julie: they just go there after. that must be nice. i'm jealous. i have my nantucket necklace on. >> griff: i can't afford to go there. i went to the grocery store and got beat up. i was talking about it with a long time democrat strategist in this town and he says it's costing more. i was looking up the president's menu and i think they will need to add some pep sid a.c. to the list there. it says the biden family will have three types of pie, apple, coconut cream and pumpkin as well as his favorite flavor of ice cream, chocolate chip. so if he gets through the turkey, stuffing and gravy, he will have a big plate of desserts.

>> julie: what is your favorite pie? i think pie that's like the debate. it can split up a family. what is your favorite pie? >> griff: it can. i did the shopping two days ago is pumpkin. that's the only one that no one fights over. >> julie: i was hoping you wouldn't see peach cobbler or something weird like that. >> griff: i will confess. one year we had four total pies. everyone thought that it was their job to bring a pie and everyone brought a pie. >> julie: nothing wrong with having leftover pie. you must eat the left over pies, absolutely. i'm with you on the pumpkin, too, absolutely. fox news alert. qatar's foreign minister giving an update in the last hour on the delayed deal to free 50 israeli hostages. we'll bring you more on when we expect the first group of women and children to be reunited with their families and when that pause in the fighting is set to

>> the criteria on which to prioritize the hostages was purely humanitarian, as you know, our focus was on getting the women and children out of harm's way as soon as possible, which is basically what we are doing within this agreement. >> griff: negotiators giving an update on the deal to free 50 israeli hostages held by hamas. the first group of 13 set to be released tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. eastern time and we're learning israel has apprehended the director of gaza's largest hospital. it comes as israel has presented evidence showing hamas terrorists used the facility as a command center. the israel innovations is standing by. let's go to trey yengst in southern israel. hey, trey. >> happy thanksgiving. for the news on the ground, a lot of anticipation about the potential of this swap tomorrow. hostages for prisoners, israelis

hoping to get 13 of their citizens home as part of that deal. the qatary foreign minister laying out the plan. it appears a cease-fire will go into effect at midnight eastern time and then ultimately at 4:00 p.m. the hostages will be released. it will be a staggered release. we're talking about a 3 to 1 ratio of palestinian prisoners for israeli hostages. officials urging caution. this is a very delicate deal. we learned the red cross is involved in the swap and getting them to safety after being released. if it goes as plans it will end fighting in gaza up to four days with the possibility of it being extended if the israelis are able to keep hamas at bay and if there are no surprise attacks. i want you to listen to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who spoke earlier today next to the u.k. foreign

secretary david cameron about the situation. >> we have to get our hostages out. it's not without its challenges. we have to get the first people out and then committed to getting everyone out. >> it is going to be a very difficult process for the families. we understand the notification process is different than originally reported. families on the list their loved ones being notified at this hour. officials want to make sure they have everything they need released to israel. they will receive medical attention, social workers and doctors. >> griff: i want to ask you quickly. we heard in the qatary press conference that both sides are keeping the lines of communication open when the truce begins either side can raise the issue of a breach in

the cessation of fighting. how delicate is this? >> have delicate. how it will be implemented and what is a red line on both sides in terms of military action. hamas doesn't have direct communication with all their fighters especially those in tunnels in the northern part of gaza. israelis are engaged in block to block and street to street battles over the past several weeks. if any of those units ambush israeli troops, it could all collapse the deal. very delicate. you can expect the qatarys to oversee and implement the deal. >> griff: happy thanksgiving and stay safe. julie. >> julie: let's bring in adam scott bellows of the israel

innovation. thank you very much for talking to us. first of all, let's talk about the delay. this was initially supposed to start yesterday and i do believe that israel wanted a list of names that they could cross check with their family members. is that among the reasons why it was delayed? >> hi, julie, thanks for having me and happy thanksgiving. it actually is one of the main reasons why the deal was delayed in addition to the fact that hamas was demanding that the israeli army stop the moving of heavy artillery and large weapons like tanks. and that was something unacceptable to not only the israeli army but the israeli government given our position at this time. so that did cause a major delay. also not knowing exactly who hamas would be releasing at this time given the fact that most deals that have been cut between hamas and israeli government only one side has usually broke

them that being hamas. >> julie: there is, of course, concern in any cease-fire especially when it's a bargain with terrorists that hamas could use the four-day period to gain ground on the war. how is israel handling that? obviously they'll cease-fire and there will be a truce for four days. we will not see any rockets being fired at each other at least in the air. what's happening underground could be an entirely different story. >> i would actually completely agree with you on that. what's happening underground is a completely different story versus what's happening in the air. and obviously the israeli government would never have agreed to this deal if it would put any more troops in danger or put the israeli military position in danger. you have to remember, this deal has been accepted with angst. the israeli public is somewhat split on this opinion. while we very much want every single hostage to come home as

soon as possible, we do not want to disrupt or walk back the progress that we've made over the last 40 plus days in our military campaign in gaza. so the only reason why this deal would have been accepted by the israelis it would put us in a position to regroup and allow hostages to be released safely without compromising our military campaign at this time. i think it is also very important to note that we have eyes on the ground and eyes in the sky to be able to monitor everything that's going on on the ground at this time. >> julie: i know israel definitely was reluctant to a deal like this but a lot of international pressure. the united states at the forefront and france and china to bring in aid. the exchange of prisoners for the exchange of hostages is such

an unbalanced number and the forefront of the minds of israelis. why do we get 150 palestinian prisoners for the release of just 50 hostages? seems like an unfair number. if i was the family member of a hostage of somebody being held hostage i would think why? why do they get 150 palestinian prisoners for only 50 hostages? >> i actually completely agree with you there. the math is not mapping. that's for sure. i want to go back to what you said earlier. i don't actually think the international pressure had anything to do with the accepting of this cease-fire. that's really important to note. we have seen over the last couple weeks how international community has forgotten the terrible, barbaric massacre of october 7th. as a result of that the israeli public has seen the modern

anti-semitism like it was in the 1920s and 30s and seen how quickly people have been able to forget. we always say never again. now the saying is never again is now. and it is a very disappointing thing to see not only the fact that now there is proof that the u.n., doctors without borders, the world health organization knew about the shifa hospital having hostages there and being used as a hamas terror base, which totally decries the condemnations that we have seen from the international community. there is only one word for it, total international hypocrisy given the fact the u.n. couldn't condemn the october 7th massacre. i believe the families of the hostages are one of the main reasons that the israeli government was willing to go and make this deal because you have to remember, the people that we know that are being released are

women and children. and if you saw what these barbaric animals did on october 7th to many of the women finding them, burning them, raping and abusing them, i can understand why the israeli government would work to at least get the women and children out especially the baby that was just born in captivity and the 9-month-old baby that was taken hostage. >> julie: it's awful. >> it's barbaric. the international community can never forget. >> griff: a new warning in time for the holiday shopping season. police say you need to be extra vigilant when withdrawing money from the bank or atm. new data on why young people are sticking with the parental units. that's coming up.

>> griff: it's not unusual for adult children to return to their parents' home for thanksgiving. new census data shows they may have never left. americans between the ages of 25 to 34 still live with their parents jumped 87% in the past two decades. high inflation, sky high housing costs are the driving reasons for that. the trend comes as voters are down on the economy under president biden, who is struggling with messaging on the top issue. joining us now steve moore with freedom works. hey, steve, happy thanksgiving. nobody better to talk to than this trend. i full confession have one child approaching that adult level at 22. what is driving this? why is this happening and why can't they just get out of the nest? >> that's a great question. happy thanksgiving to you, too.

i have three in that age group between 32 and 22. so i always say at thanksgiving time the happiest day of the year is when they come and the second happiest day is when they leave, right? more and more often they aren't leaving but sleeping in the basement. that's a big problem because, you know, you have got -- the question, of course, is why is that happening? i think one of the factors, griff, is the cost of living has gone up. it is harder for young people to be able to pay their own bills. let's face it. when you've got prices that are 20% higher today than they were when trump left office, that's put a financial burden on a lot of young people. the other problem, griff, now this is kind of at the next stage. we want young people to start getting married and buying homes. but the cost of buying a home now, the cost of buying a home now is twice as much in terms of those mortgage payments. why is that? because guess what?

the mortgage rate that was 3% under trump is now 7 1/2 to 8% in many areas. it's not affordable for these young people. >> griff: show our viewers our staff put together a comparison if you look back 20 years you can see the cost of houses. put that up there. that direction goes up, up, up, up, up. here is my problem. this trend seems to be a fad. the quarterback for the new york giants who massacreed my washington commanders last sunday lives at home. he makes -- he just signed a $2.7 million contract and he is at home. in a quote when asked after the game he said yeah, it's great. i don't have to worry about laundry or what i'm eating for dinner. mom has the chicken cut lets and all that. my mom still makes my bed. he is 25 years old, steve.

>> that's pretty pathetic. we need these mothers around the country to start kicking the kids out of the nest, right? you are probably doing your kids a favor by doing that, too. but this is a trend. i hope we start to see. we want them to have families of their own and kids. the number of kids that young people are having is down, too. that's a problem. we're below replacement level fertility. why is that? the cost of bringing up a child is so high. >> griff: in fairness to the young folks they are feeling the pain. the white house is having a real hard time with their messaging reaching them. a quick clip. i want to play this video of young folks feeling depression. >> a silent depression. when you compare the great depression to today, this will absolutely blow your mind. >> the average price of a home in america today is $416,000. >> how could we be living through worst cost of living and

wages than 1930? >> new cars are unaffordable, new houses are unaffordable. to rent somewhere else is unaffordable. it is terrible what's going on right now. >> griff: it is terrible what's going on says the young man right there. your final thoughts. >> the solution to the higher cost of living and raging inflation we have had over the last 2 1/2 years is let's take a chain saw to that federal budget and bring the debt down and the deficit down and then you know what? prices will come down, too. >> griff: all right, steve moore joining us on thanksgiving. enjoy your thanksgiving, turkey, dressing and pies. thanks, steve. >> you too, griff, thanks a lot. >> julie: i will sound crazy, not the first time for that. i have the unpopular opinion, i told my children i never want them to move out because i never want to be an empty nester. i don't want to be an empty nester. they have way too much time on

their hands. >> griff: maybe you put your finger on it. maybe if you try to keep them home they'll do the opposite. like reverse psychology. >> julie: i know it sounds nuts but i told my kids i will build you a house next door. get married and move in and i will have my grandchildren, yeah, i'm that crazy mom. >> griff: i don't want to be the heartless dad kicking the young ones out of the nest. if you are making 2.7 million with an nfl contract. get out and you are on your own. >> julie: buy the house next to me so i can visit at any time. >> griff: mother of the year. if you try to keep them close they will flee. >> julie: no free rides but they can pitch in and live with mommy forever. america's crime crisis sparking a new warning for the holiday shopping season. it concerns atms as well as

large cash bank withdrawals. police in california folks should be vigilant anyone trying to distract them after a trip to the bank. it is because of a type of crime called bank jugging. christina coleman is in california to tell us more. >> organized groups of thieves follow people leaving banks with large amounts of money. distract them and steal their purse or wallet. officers just released this surveillance video hoping it leads to an arrest. this woman was robbed of $20,000 that she had just withdrawn from a bank to purchase a new home. they say a group of thieves followed her from a local wells fargo to a mall in riverside county an hour southeast of l.a. saying one of the thieves placed a $5 behind her s.u.v. and asked if it belonged to her. if she looked one of the other suspects stole her purse. also orange county sheriff's deputies released this video

showing a man stealing $50,000 from an elderly woman's truck while another guy distracted her. both suspects arrested. in irvine there has been 24 bank jugging incidents this year alone. this video two men attempting to target victims outside of a bank last month. officers spotted them and they were arrested following a brief chase. but riverside police tell me due to what they consider california's soft on crime policies, they do not expect the slowdown in robberies and thefts in this state any time soon. >> we're seeing a lot of criminals on parole, probation, some type of supervised release that keep reoffending and we believe that it's really -- there is no substantial consequence for them. they are not being sent to prison for these types of crimes. and it is very frustrating. >> very frustrating and scary

for holiday shoppers. no arrests have been made in riverside where they got away with $20,000 in cash. riverside p.d. will have more officers working tomorrow on black friday and throughout the holiday season to try and prevent this kind of crime. julie. >> julie: christina coleman live from los angeles. thank you. >> griff: former south carolina governor nikki haley is on the rise in some new polling. we're wondering whether she is getting closer to being a threat to former president trump's frontrunner status. plus a catholic all-girls college has a new admissions policy for transgender students. we'll tell you why it's raising eyebrows and facing serious pushback next. ct place to learn grit, determination and problem solving. we're taking that passion and channeling it through our farm to home bedding bath, and apparel at red land cotton. we grow cotton in the rich red earth of north alabama.

dame, indiana says it is still determining the quote, practices that we'll follow from the policy. the school is getting serious blowback for its decision. it is a catholic school from current students, some alum nice and women's advocates. carolyn downey is from the independent women's forum to talk to us here and now. my kids go to catholic school. we do have rules. you can discuss certain issues at home. but you don't bring it into the school. it goes against the curriculum. they are catholic schools. how is this being allowed? >> thanks so much for having me. well, first of all, you would expect this absurdity from any other progressive women's college. this is st. mary's. it has been affiliated with notre dame for 179 years. its namesake is the virgin mary founded for women.

but the catholic schools unfortunately are self-hating institutions, embarrassed of their catholic identity and do things all the time to undermine it. the fact that st. mary's would abandon its mission to welcome men is a slap in the face to women enrolled there. catholic colleges used to be a refuge for morality, goodness and truth. we can't depend on that anymore. >> julie: the president of the college told faculty in the email this week about the change in policy and here is a quote from her in a statement. saint mary's will consider undergraduate applicants whose sex assigned at birth is female or who consistently live and identify as women. that goes in drastic contradiction to what is being taught in our catholic schools. in the nation's schools i get

it. that's one thing. you have a choice. you don't have to go to a catholic school. there are reasons why we as parents send our kids to catholic schools. we want to shield them. i want to shelter my children from certain issues. that's why they go to catholic school and always have. where do you draw the line in the sand? >> like i said, catholic schools used to be a haven. they no longer are. they have been hijacked and corrupted by gender ideology. you are better sending them to a charter school that teaches the basics of gender objectivity but unfortunately yes, all of these colleges are shedding their catholic mission and the vatican certainly does not approve of this. st. mary does not approve of this. so it is really unfortunate that we have strayed so far from what is true. >> julie: it is not just about allowing transgender students

into the school. it is also erasing their gender when it comes to school sports and college sports is a very big deal. it is a trickle effect, right? you start here and then what happens when trans girls want to play on, you know, a team with other girls and they were born a boy and it gives them the unfair advantage which we've seen time and time again in the olympics and professional athletes? this is another issue that will come up and it is just going to complicate things further. >> right. it is just as egregious with women's sports. in those cases we have mediocre athletes underperforming competing as men but they wanted the spotlight and the recognition so they declared themselves women and entered the female division. but in the process they stripped titles and accolades from women

who trained their entire lives. how many lia thomas's and riley gaines before they lay down the law. men in women's sports is not only unfair but dangerous. >> julie: thank you very much for joining us. thank you. >> griff: north korea firing a ballistic missile in the sea overnight. its neighbor claims russia helped get it done and warning of dire consequences. first turkey trotters are filling up downtown los angeles. how the thanksgiving tradition is giving back to the community. that's coming up.
