thank you so much for joining us. we truly appreciate it. first, have you been able to speak to your cousin yet or hear anything about how she and her daughters are doing now? >> well, good morning, whit. thank you so much for having me on the show this morning. i have not yet had a chance to talk to my cousin. i know they're in the hospital right now in schneider in petah tikva under medical exams and care after a long period of time of being taken by the hamas and held hostage for almost 50 days. i'm sure that she and her two daughters are going through some major examinations and care by the professional staff and surrounded by family and loved ones again. i've received very heartwarming pictures and messages from them. i will probably reach out to them later on today and would like to hear their voices and make sure that they're all doing well and healthy. we are very, very excited for this wonderful news yesterday from gaza.

>> reporter: a jury convicted of pistorius of murder after he killed the south african model back on valentine's day of 2013. in emotional testimony, he claimed that he thought she was an intruder, shooting her with his gun four times through his bathroom door in the middle of the night. >> yes, i killed -- i shot and killed reeva steenkamp. >> i did, my lady. >> reporter: overnight a steenkamp attorney and spokesperson sharing the impact statement read from reeva's mother june, who says she doesn't oppose pistorius' release, but says, at this time i'm not convinced that oscar has been rehabilitated. >> june said in her victim impact statement that she has concerns about oscar pistorius' anger management issues. she has concerns about his tendency to commit violence against women. >> reporter: and south african authorities say from now until his release in

hit a curb and went airborne and then came crashing down. the investigation into that crash is ongoing. >> gio: and take a look at the newest and cutest members of the national reserve in kenya. the young elephants believed to be just days old are female twins. twins are very, very rare for elephants accounting for only 1% of births. how cute is that? >> whit: adorable. >> erielle: so sweet. >> gio: they say elephants are lucky. >> erielle: i get it why, they're so sweet. and we start this half hour with a look at this week's top political headlines, and maryalice parks joins us now. it's great to see you in person. >> nice to see you too. >> erielle: let's start with the hostage release deal. president biden has been personally heavily invested, as you've reported on this. what are the priorities for the administration moving forward, and do you believe that the administration will support an israeli resumption of its ground operation after the pause? >> yeah, i think so. they have said over and over that they do not support a permanent cease-fire at this point, because the job isn't

done. getting rid of hamas, they agree, is a legitimate goal, but i think there is also a growing sense that the tactics have to change. we saw yesterday usaid put out this statement really underscoring that 100 u.n. aid workers have been killed in gaza. they went on to talk about the humanitarian situation in gaza as dire, saying the needs are staggering. to me that statement was really calling out a friend. really calling out israel for a lack of precision in this war. i mean, look, the president is facing growing pressure from his own democratic colleagues to do more, to try to look for a long-term solution, to look to an end to this, to look for what happens after hamas is gone, and it was very interesting to me yesterday that the president was asked flat out about some of those calls from progressive members of the democratic party about potentially putting conditions on military aid to israel, and, guys, he did not say no to that. >> gio: let's switch gears to

the republican primary, because a lot of people are talking about this. iowa caucuses are just about six weeks away. >> crazy, right? >> gio: crazy. it's so close. we've been talking about this more and more, though, nikki haley is really gaining a lot of attention. what does she need to do now? >> you could argue she is the leading alternative to trump right now. we've seen in new hampshire polls she is solidly in that second spot. in iowa polls she's now running pretty much even with desantis. we have seen she can debate. we've seen that she can raise money. the question now, can she get voters excited? can she rally up a crowd? can she get people to vote for her? i think it's always telling when you are the target of attacks. new jersey governor chris christie has really focused on her this last week, talked about her abortion comments, and, of course, we're all going to see what happens in iowa. i hear all the time from republican voters, they're interested for someone beyond trump, but they're waiting to see who will emerge. in iowa when there are all these neighbors in a room hashing it out, maybe that will be so consequential and telling.

>> whit: you never know. momentum changes too. there's iowa and new hampshire and we saw biden he picked up much later in south carolina and super tuesday. let's switch gears again. let's talk about congress, everybody's favorite subject because they get so much done over there these days. next week the house back in session. it's the sprint till christmas. what's first up on their plate that needs to get done? >> they have so much to do. first and foremost, a big conversation about aid to israel, aid to ukraine. we've seen this huge request, a $100 billion national security request from the white house. huge disagreements in the house and the senate about what exactly to do with that national security funding, that money for aid for israel and ukraine. the lawmakers i talk to are interested in getting more money to ukraine but are really worried that the window there is narrowing. there's the sense it's now or never. they have to get this done. it was interesting to me that last week the white house was signaling that they have intelligence that iran might be looking to help russia more in the war in ukraine. to me that was the way the white house was subtly trying to call

out some republicans that have been back-sliding on potentially supporting ukraine, but, look, wrapped up in all of this is a conversation on the border and immigration. we know republicans want some policy changes on immigration included in any deal, and democrats know that they'll probably have to move on that. >> whit: a lot to watch. >> gio: a lot to watch on this saturday after thanksgiving. we are thankful that you're here to break it all down for us. thank you, maryalice. all right, time for the weather. somara theodore looking like a piece of sunshine. >> somara: i love you, gio. all right, so look at this, absolutely gorgeous philly, and this is an earth cam shot from earlier. it doesn't look real. oh, wait. yes, just a moment for this sun coming up over new york city. this is so picturesque. we cannot enjoy shots like this, though, if we didn't get the rain. rain is on the way to the northeast, but before it gets to the northeast, some snow out in chicago during the crucial travel time tomorrow morning. look what happens late tomorrow night into early monday morning. we start to get some heavy rain along the

heavy rain back into pittsburgh. as far as snow goes up into the northeast, more rain mixing in with snow. this is not a big snowmaker but could cause travel delays because of all the wet weather. how much rain are we getting? not a ton, about up to an inch. farther north we could see spots anywhere from one to two inches, so that's important to note. give yourself time so you can take your time out there. again, that snow hitting the great lakes around 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. if you have plans on leaving out of chicago o'hare, keep in mind you could see delays. that's a look at the weather >> somara: and tha >> somara: and that's your forecast. that beautiful shot took my breath away. >> erielle: you take our breath away this morning. somara, thank you. coming up on "good morning america," saving money while you shop. the cash-back services helping

a tracking pixel is placed, so rakuten or ibotta are getting credit, and they're getting cash back and giving you a portion of it. >> reporter: honey is a shopping tool that's added on to your browser. in addition to price comparisons, it gives you paypal cash for your purchases. i've made almost $100 using honey in my browser for the last couple of years, but, remember, you might have to give up some information to put money back in your pockets. >> the back end of these rewards programs are still often fueled by companies using your data, and that's how they're able to give you all of these great rewards. we have so many companies that know exactly how to monetize that data, and so they're willing to pay shoppers if they're willing to provide it to them. >> reporter: another option for cash back, retailer specific credit cards. target's red card offers 5% cashback for target purchases, and amazon's prime card gives you 5% back on amazon purchases and whole food buys, plus a limited time $200 cashback bonus if you sign up for a new card. finally some out of the box rewards programs that can pay off all year. >> it's not right.

>> gio: and we are back now on "gma" and >> gio: and we are back now on "gma" and the most highly anticipated game this college football season, ohio state heading to michigan, all of it made even bigger with michigan head coach jim harbaugh absent from the sideline. let's go to "college gameday's" desmond howard joining us now. des, good morning. so good to see you. glad you're here. hey, you played in this rivalry. you felt all of these emotions. can you explain why this game means so much more for both teams? >> well, how much time do you have? [ laughter ] you know, there's a lot that goes into this game. you know, it started with a ten-year war with bo schembechler and woody hayes, and that's when this game was at its apex. that's when you had the hate between both schools, both regions, both cities, both states, ohio and michigan, and

then as a kid from ohio, born and raised in cleveland, ohio, you're going to have a lot of players who are from michigan that may have gone to ohio state or from ohio that may have gone to michigan and guys who have played against each other, so it's just a great rivalry, the best rivalry in all of sports, hands down. >> gio: des, we see those signs behind you, "free jimmy." coach harbaugh obviously still serving his suspension. do you think him not being on the sidelines will have a major effect on this game? >> i think it's going to have a huge impact to this game, maybe not in a negative way, but probably in a positive way because now the kids have rallied around this whole free harbaugh cry. it's michigan versus everybody. so they're going to come out there and play with an edge. so now you got this team that's destined to win a championship at least in their mind. that's what they came back for, and now you've added fuel to the fire, because you suspended the head coach, and you got him -- i don't know where he's going to

be, but he won't be on the sideline for the biggest game of the year. so now they want to go out there with that mentality, michigan versus everybody, and they want to win this one for their head coach, so it may have a huge positive effect on this game. >> gio: michigan versus everybody, and you sat down with j.j. mccarthy, blake corum, and mike sainristil this week. it's all on "college gameday" this week. what did you learn from them? >> i learned how these guys, man, they're great leaders, all three, and they're so resilient. i talked to blake. blake said when he first came to ann arbor and went to the locker room, he didn't like the culture. he just thought that it was a toxic culture, so he got together with hassan haskins and aidan hutchinson. aidan is going to be our celebrity guest picker on the show today, and they changed the culture. it is amazing how that comes around full circle, because there's no way, if you had a toxic locker room, you would have been able to deal with all

the outside noise and hate and distractions that they've had to deal with from day one. don't forget. they start the season off with jim harbaugh not being on the sideline because of some ncaa investigation, something that happened during covid. it was really gray and really murky, so this team started the season without jim harbaugh on the sideline for three games, and now they're going to end the season without their head coach on the sideline for three games. if they didn't have the right culture in the locker room, there's no way they could have survived this, no way. >> gio: that is going to be a fascinating conversation. des, thank you so much. we're going to see you on "college gameday." it all starts at 9:00 a.m. on espn and florida state at florida over at 7:00 p.m. thanks again, des. we'll be right back with our "play of the day." des. we'll be right back with our "play of the day." this year take the time to melt into your holiday moments
