with cleto and the cletones. and now, jimmy kimmel! ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thank you. i appreciate that. thanks. guillermo. very nice. very nice. very kind. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. [ cheers and applause ] thank you for that. thank you for watching. thank you for joining us here in los angeles, where i don't want to ruin the fun, but we find ourselves once again on fire. there's another fire spreading north of us at castaic lake.ous evacuated again. i have to say, it's times like these i am grateful we have stiff-spined, strong-minded leaders like squirrel of the house mike johnson. [ laughter ] who pulled trump's little nuts out of his mouth for just a minute -- [ laughter ] long enough to assure us he would never sink so low as to

play politics with much-needed federal aid to our state. >> you go to california, they're a sanctuary state, l.a. and san francisco are sanctuary cities. okay. gavin is doubling down on a "fight trump" agenda, you know. trump-proof california. and so, are you saying that california, if they continue to aid and abet law-breaking and harboring illegal immigrants, money from d.c. gets cut off? >> yeah, we're talking about conditions to this disaster aid. they're natural disasters, but there are manmade disasters as well. >> jimmy: which one are you? [ laughter ] you'd think, as people living in an area prone to wildfires, we'd get a bit more sympathy from an elf who lives if a hollowed-out tree. [ laughter ] but that doesn't fly in magaland. mike johnson is such a little kiss-ass. i've been trying to figure out who he reminds me of. i think it's this guy. [ laughter ]

yes. there's donald and mike. the fact of the matter is the only man-made part of this disaster is the climate change part of this disaster, which mike's party pretends doesn't exist, even though they were having snowball fights on bourbon street today. [ laughter ] snow in louisiana today. 9 inches of snow in florida today. this hasn't happened in 70 years. a blanket of snow fell on the beach on the florida panhandle. there was snow from tallahassee to pensacola. children were voluntarily being swallowed by alligators, just to stay warm. [ laughter ] in lafayette, louisiana, the unusual icy roads had drivers and even weather reporters on edge. >> john, you know, we've seen our fair share -- look, there's somebody peeling out. watch out, john, watch out, john. see, christmas thanksgiving -- we encourage people not to do. i don't know how cool that guy thinks he is. i wish that lafayette police officer would roll up on him and shut that down. hey, man, can you turn your lights on and shut that down?

unbelievable, bro. that's the stuff we don't like to do. at times you wonder why we may be standing in certain spots. just not -- just not it, bro. john's got a family, i've got a family, we're all trying to do our job bringing you up to date. that was wach. i don't know if my boy thought he was cool, but i ain't rocking with it. super lame. anyway, we chill out. boy, i tell you what, john, that got me hot, baby. i wish he'd roll back here, i'd show him what's happening. just kidding. anyway, please be safe. [ applause ] >> jimmy: could we get a therapist to the corner of evangeline thruway and surrey street? we've got a time bomb waiting to blow there. [ laughter ] in philadelphia, it's so cold right now some of the locals have lost the ability to spell. >> listen, we've got to do this. let me hear you all say, e! l! g!

s! e! s! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's how you spell it? that was the mayor of philadelphia. i've never seen anyone spell a word so wrong in so many different ways. [ laughter ] this has to be god punishing us for pulling out of the paris climate accord. it snowed in georgia, alabama. it snowed in texas. senator ted cruz is requesting an extra blanket on his united flight to cabo as we speak! [ laughter ] it did not snow at mar-a-lago. that's when hell officially freezes over. [ laughter ] our commander in chief meteorologist is coming to l.a. friday to survey the damage from fires, and also to share his deep understanding of how we could easily get out of this mess. >> the sprinklers. there are sprinklers in there like these right here that you see. none of them had any water in them. the sprinklers on the lawn weren't allowed to be used. we're demanding they turn the valve back toward los angeles right now. it's not believable they haven't done it. [ laughter ] just so you know. they have a valve.

it turns. think of a sink but multiply it times many thousands of times, the size of it, it's massive. you turn it back toward los angeles. why aren't they doing that? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: such a good question. how did they forget about our giant supersink? [ laughter ] just so you know, we do not have a valve like a sink in los angeles that we can turn. to shut the fires off. that makes no sense. to anyone. including him. but nobody says anything. no one corrects him. the emperor not only doesn't he have any clothes, he's in the shower waiting for a drip of water to come out. [ laughter ] >> they wanted to restrict you to 38 gallons of water a day. that sounds like a lot, but it's not. when you're a rich person and you like to take shower. [ audience moaning ] >> jimmy: that's right. rich people like to shower. the poors prefer to live in filth. [ laughter ] that's just how it is. by the way, that was from a press conference about a.i. and infrastructure. so he's right back where he left off. shooting the breeze with reporters. grabbing everything he can.

trump has reportedly made $6 billion from the new crypto coin he launched three days before his inauguration. no one seems to have a problem with this. for all the talk about hunter and burisma and the biden crime family, trump just made $6 billion out of thin air. they ask him about it, and he just laughs it off. >> do you intend to continue selling products that benefit yourself personally while you're president? >> i don't know if it benefited. i don't know where it is. i don't know much about it. other than i launched it. i heard it was very successful. i haven't checked it. where is it today? >> you made a lot of money, sir. >> how much? >> several billion dollars, it seems like, in the last several days. >> several billion? that's peanuts for these guys. >> jimmy: anyway. i am outraged by the cost of eggs. [ laughter ] he doesn't pay attention to how much money he made. it's just not the kind of person he is.

he doesn't care about that stuff. i was reading today that a lot of reporters, even from the so-called liberal news media, are happy that trump is back because he actually talks to them. joe biden rarely looked up from his malt o meal. [ laughter ] but now, all of a sudden, the white house is active and full of surprises. oops. [ laughter ] that was seb gorka, and he wasn't the only one who stumbled on to a hot set. in fact, i believe the president himself -- [ audience moaning ] is he on ozempic? he looks great. [ applause ] meanwhile, the mass deportations trump promised are under way, large-scale raids on undocumented immigrants started today. which means melania is hiding in her bedroom for two reasons now. [ laughter ] yesterday, the president signed an order to lift all government

d.e.i. requirements and to put all federal employees working on d.e.i.-related initiatives on immediate leave. donald trump won't be satisfied until his administration is as white as the chiclets his son calls teeth. [ laughter ] he will not tolerate d.e.i. d.u.i. is fine, but no on the e! [ laughter ] it really is so brazen. trump says, "the only thing that matters when hiring people are aptitude and qualifications. now, please confirm this blackout drunk i got off fox news for secretary of defense." [ laughter ] it turns out, drinking on the job might actually be one of the least-disqualifying things about pete hegseth. according to reports from multiple news outlets, hegseth's former sister-in-law alleges that hegseth's wife was terrified he would abuse her to the point where she and her sister had a code to text if her husband became violent and she feared for her safety. the code was -- "this man should never be defense secretary." [ laughter ] [ applause ]

and now trump wants him to have the nuclear codes. the senate is hoping to vote on hegseth this week. meanwhile, it was smooth sailing for marco rubio, who was confirmed unanimously as secretary of state. rubio is the first-ever hispanic secretary of state, and also the first cabinet official small enough to fit inside an actual cabinet. [ laughter ] this is mind-boggling. not only did trump let all the 1,600 simpletons who stormed the capitol off the hook, he is currently mulling the idea of hosting them at the white house. one of the stormtrumpers he pardoned was the self-proclaimed q-anon shaman, jacob chansley, who was sentenced to 41 months in prison. yesterday, he celebrated his pardon on twitter. he wrote, "i got a pardon baby! thank you, president trump! now i am gonna buy some mother f'ing guns! i love this country! god bless america." mom, can i have some money for guns? [ laughter ] i'm starting to think he might not be a real shaman.

he's clean-shaven now. he has been de-horned. and, for whatever reason, agreed to sit for an interview with the bbc. >> they imprisoned me for 27 months. 10 1/2 in solitary confinement. and then they released me to the public as social pariah without the ability to own a firearm. so i can never really actually bring a gun to a gunfight, i always have to bring a knife to a gunfight. you do realize how wrong that is, right? >> jay, you pleaded guilty. [ laughter ] >> i pleaded guilty? so is this how they do things in england, i see? yes, yes. you can't see the forest for the trees, my dear, hm? >> jimmy: ugh. i bet his cellmate is so happy he's gone. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] what gun fights is he going to? how long until one of these guys gets arrested again? one of them drops a gun out of his pants at hobby lobby or

accidentally sets fire to his local bait shop. at least a quarter of these dopes trump pardoned had prior criminal records. one of the guys had 38 previous convictions. 11 for violence or violent threats. wasn't his plan to remove criminals from the general population? i can't believe i voted for this guy three times. [ laughter ] [ applause and boos ] tonight is a special night at the white house. it's donald and melania's 20th wedding anniversary. 20 years is a long time. especially for melania. [ laughter ] this morning, trump paid tribute to his longest-serving wife, re-posting this a.i. image of him with a lion. and then, i'm guessing he noticed a bunch of people posting about his anniversary, which reminded him, oh, it's my anniversary. so, he re-posted this sweet photo of melania literally pushing him away. [ laughter ] then he posted a long love

letter to russia and putin. and then he posted this -- "happy 20th anniversary to melania!" melania posted nothing to celebrate. [ laughter ] you know, the traditional present for a 20th anniversary is china, which is a country -- [ laughter ] -- trump blames for a lot of things, but also, an exquisite commemorative gift. >> hello, everyone. i have something incredible to share today. we are announcing the launch of the donald and melania 20th trump-versary china collection. this line of beautiful plates commemorate all of my and the third mrs. trump's most romantic moments. intimate dinners. strolls on the tarmac. super-hot makeout sessions. and the hole on my golf course where i will eventually bury her. like all of my products, this china is made in china. by child laborers whose hands are even tinier and more supple than my own. and that's not all.

the trump-versary collection features classified document placemats with real military secrets. a signature eric trump adult bib. a pete hegseth 64-ounce wine glass. the marjorie taylor greene signature tablecloth with eyeholes. and the steve bannon gravy boat. that's why they call him sloppy steve, what a mess he is. the donald and melania 20th trump versary china collection. own it today for 12 easy payments of $89999999.99. available wherever dangerous lead products are sold. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: mazel tov. we have a good show for you tonight. danielle deadwyler is here. we've got music from larkin poe. and we'll be right back with jesse eisenberg. new to the big city?

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: thanks for coming. i know you live in new york, right? >> yes, but i was able to fly out here. >> jimmy: oh on a plane? >> yeah, exactly. [ laughter ] i was going to do a boat, but they said the canal would take too long to be on the show. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: we're going to reclaim that canal, and don't worry, it will go by like that. >> exactly. if this was next week, i think i could do the canal.

they wanted me here the day after. >> jimmy: are you a good traveler? are you good on -- >> i'm a fine traveler. i'm not like in general a fine person. going through normal stuff, i don't excel. but traveling -- maybe traveling's an exception. a lot of people are nervous travelers. but because i know there's nervous people on the plane, for some reason, it comforts me. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh. >> you know, as opposed to like the rest of life. when i'm sitting around, self-actualized, comfortable people, i'm a wreck. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: interesting. the tension you experience from others makes you maybe feel like you're part of a community? >> yes. i find if i'm with other paranoid people, i'm the comfortable one. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: interesting. >> but if i'm in a group with normal people, i'm the weirdo. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it makes sense, because you know like when you're -- you're at home, and like something happens, and like one of you's mad, the other one's not, you don't have to get mad because the other one's mad. >> it's exactly that.

and my wife was angry last week. and i remember thinking, this is a great, great week. [ laughter ] because i just had -- i was standing up straighter. i was taking care of the kid. "it's going to be okay, honey." i had to be -- i had to be the kind of calm, collected person. >> jimmy: do you go on vacations and that sort of thing? >> not in the way that people think of vacation. i don't like vacations. because, you know -- [ laughter ] i feel too guilty to go on a vacation. i have a very good life. i got, like, to be a movie actor, it's like i won the lottery every day for the last 41 years. i feel so lucky. i travel for my work, you know what i mean? i feel guilty going on a vacation where i just want to lay back on the -- i can't do that. because i'm riddled with guilt. [ laughter ] so what i do -- what i do is i go -- like the places i've traveled to are basically -- like this movie is about these guys who go on a holocaust tour. those are the travels i do. the last vacation we went to, the last two vacations, one was to a concentration camp in

austria. [ laughter ] laugh it up, jimmy. [ laughter ] i know that gets you -- you get tickled by that. [ laughter ] and then the next one we went to with my family, an 8-year-old, romania, the site where the revolution against ceausescu happened. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you brought the kids to that? >> a kid, one kid. if we had two, obviously it would be off limits. >> jimmy: too many. [ laughter ] >> it's too depending. but it was amazing. i explained to my kid what happened. not violence. i explained there was a dictator here -- it was an amazing trip. the city is amazing and beautiful and everything. that's the only time i could go on vacation and not hate myself. >> jimmy: wow. are you transferring this to your child, do you feel? >> amongst so many other horrible things, yeah. [ laughter ] including, perhaps, tasax. >> jimmy: what? >> that's a jewish genetic disease disorder joke. [ laughter ] it's going to kill --

>> jimmy: i wondered why guillermo was cracking up over there. [ laughter ] >> guillermo and then your brooklyn -- >> jimmy: he knows his jewish genetic disorders like nobody else. >> it's a great joke, but -- it's specific. >> it is a great joke, now that i get it. >> all jewish couples have to get tested for tasax so they don't pass it on. that's why it's funny. >> jimmy: i'm embarrassed that you have to explain the joke to me, but i imagine this is what it's like vacationing with you. [ laughter ] your son, your daughter? >> yeah, my son. >> jimmy: did your son say, can we go to disney world this time? >> we haven't told him about that. [ laughter ] no, no, no, no, no. i went so disneyland, during his lifetime, without him. [ laughter ] because i was doing something in shanghai, they took me to shanghai disney. i told him about it, "it sounded interesting, but when are we going back to rwanda?" [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: it must make you very proud. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: were you like that when you were a kid? >> i hated vacations when i was

a kid. not because i felt guilty. more because i was like -- i hated school so much. every time the school ended, like friday, i was more scared than even sunday night because i knew the weekend i'd be thinking about school. and so when school ended, june 16th every year, i would be so paranoid because i knew the entire summer was going to be thinking about september 8th. [ laughter ] know what i mean? >> jimmy: sadly, i know exactly what you mean, yeah. >> it's awful. we're terrified of anticipating the bad thing, the bad thing coming -- >> jimmy: than the bad thing there. >> school's there, i'm there, i'm miserable, but it can get worse. >> jimmy: were you bullied in school? >> i wish, i wish. [ laughter ] no, i always wanted -- i always wished there was some concrete thing i could go home and say. "somebody beat me up." everybody was nice to me, i was just miserable. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: did you do drugs or anything like that? >> i should have. [ laughter ] no, no. >> jimmy: no, huh, interesting. >> yeah, no. i graduated from performing arts

high school in manhattan, and that was great. we did drugs there. [ laughter ] but growing up -- >> jimmy: what kind of drugs did you do there? >> one of my friends did acid every day. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> in the park. in the park. >> jimmy: is he still with us? >> he was my friend at the time. i haven't spoken to him. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: probably still in the park. >> we smoked pot in the park at lunchtime. >> jimmy: was that good? did that calm you down or make you enjoy -- >> doesn't calm me. i was funny. i guess it would be like -- want to make jokes -- i don't know if i was funny. it made me want to be funny. >> jimmy: did you do the tasac joke in the park? [ laughter ] >> i've been trotting that out for a long time, yeah. that's in my holster. if i'm around somebody like you or a crowd like this, i pull it out because it's so accessible. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i was going to ask you about your family, but i feel like i should wait now because this movie, which i thought was just great, by the way, is about a relationship between cousins which is an area that is -- i think has gone unexplored.

>> oh, thanks. >> jimmy: like not since "my cousin vinny" i think has there been a cousin-related movie. we'll take a look at the movie. it's called "a real pain." jesse eisenberg is here. jesse eisenberg is here. we'll be right back. some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. like you know to check first that you bought seats in the right section. kansas fans, get on your feet! boo! boo! yeah, checking first is smart. so check allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. oh, yeah. we'll see! oh, yeah! help yourself. wow! you're in good hands with allstate. hank used to suffer from what felt like a cold & flu medicine hangover in the morning. ha ha. haha! then he switched to mucinex nightshift. mucinex is uniquely formulated to leave your system faster, so you wake up ready to go. uhh, hank! try mucinex nightshift and feel the difference. there are thousands of pictures on your phone.

you used to tell me, first-generation immigrants work some menial job. they drive cabs, deliver food. second-generation, they go to good schools, become a doctor, lawyer, whatever. third generation lives in their mother's basement, smokes pot all day.

>> she said that? >> i think she was just speaking generally, about the immigrant experience. >> i lived in my mom's basement. >> she was just talking about immigrants, that's all. >> okay, yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is kieran culkin and jesse eisenberg in "a real pain" which you can see on hulu now. kieran plays your cousin benji, your character's cousin, benji. this is based on a real cousin? >> no, no, no, no, no. my cousins don't drink that much. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and the dynamic between you and kieran, you're both great in the movie. i don't know kieran. and i met you a couple of times. we don't really know each other. but it seems to me like there was -- like it may have been a real dynamic between the two of you? >> totally, totally. like, so yeah, like kieran -- first of all, he's so brilliant in the movie. he's winning every award. he's a genius in the movie. but his character is, like, really kind of, like, unpredictable, spontaneous.

he has, like, big, extreme emotional swings. he'll be really furious at one point, then elated and charming the next. that's kind of like kieran. my character is really, like, preplanning everything. more introverted. and it's more like me. the weird thing was, we were exactly like that in the movie. like i had written the script two years ago, so it was deep in my head. preparing to direct it for a year. i knew every shot. kieran would ask, "what scene are we doing today?" you don't want to ask that question. [ laughter ] by the guy who has five pages of dialogue. in ten minutes. and so i'm like, "we're doing the scene on the train, you have five pages of dialogue." "oh, that's so funny, can i see the script? i don't have mine." he looks at it for a minute. "okay, i'm good." and he'd be word perfect and brilliant. so i don't know how he does it. he's a genius. we found out towards the end of the movie, we got a call from

his hotel. "is kieran okay? he's sleeping on his floor, we think, his mattress is in the bathroom." i think he was kind of living in the spirit of the part, but just not telling everybody about it. like most actors, if they do any work at all, go on shows like this, "that was so tough, man, i was [ bleep ] --" oops, sorry. [ laughter ] that was an impression of somebody who would say that word. >> jimmy: right, sure. >> like they tell you about it. kieran's so unpretentious. he was living in the spirit of this guy and never talking about it. >> jimmy: is it possible that kieran is watching this interview right now and going, no, i wasn't in the character, i'm just weird. [ laughter ] >> yeah, yeah, yeah. he probably would say that, that's how unpretentious he is, won't even take credit. >> jimmy: you have the added responsibility of him being -- not just your scene partner, but you're writer and director of the movie, so you need to make sure everything is right. >> yeah. >> jimmy: you've got a lot riding on this. >> exactly. >> jimmy: you're his boss in a lot of ways. >> it didn't feel that way. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: he made sure of that.

>> in the movie he torments me. he's constantly manhandling me, punching me. he took to that really easily. [ laughter ] yeah, and he would just make fun of me all the time. his character in the movie makes fun of me. but he would do what. i'd be setting up a shot with one of the great polish cinematographerers, this hallowed thing. thinking about color palette. he comes over. "what are you doing, your film school shot now?" [ laughter ] this was every day. i walked around feeling like such a loser. [ laughter ] on this movie that i should have felt good about. >> jimmy: he broke you down. >> he broke me down. he was so good in the movie. >> jimmy: yeah. >> i didn't want to rock the boat by telling him to stop. >> jimmy: yeah, right. [ laughter ] >> or just to be nice, i thought maybe this is his process. >> jimmy: is it hard to be the director of a movie that you're in? >> yeah, yeah. because -- i also -- like i don't watch myself in movies. i haven't seen myself in a movie in a long time. i'm probably not that unusual. maybe it's really neurotic but a lot of actors don't do that. >> jimmy: a lot of times i have

guests on the show, we show the clip, they lower their heads or look away. >> exactly. >> jimmy: they don't want to see themselves. >> that was me for so many years. then i'm in the shots. i kept trying to avoid closeups on me. because i just didn't want to really be in the movie. and so i have these -- my producers, one of whom is the actress emma stone. >> jimmy: right, yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> she knows a thing or two about a closeup. so my producers would be like, "you have to turn the camera to your face now." and i'm like -- "could i be behind the wall?" and they're like -- "you've got to be in front of the wall." >> jimmy: emma is there with you? >> yes, she's a producer of the movie, standing with the headphones. >> jimmy: i thought that producers did nothing. [ laughter ] i didn't know producers did anything. >> a lot of them do nothing. >> jimmy: they're working on the movie with you? >> yes. >> jimmy: she's got to be -- from her you listen. >> good advice, yeah, exactly. she's also good with notes. she told me to stop moving so much. >> jimmy: really? >> yes, in an elevator scene, i was moving too much. turns out when emma stands in an elevator, she's pretty calm. [ laughter ]

>> jimmy: so now the oscar nominations come out tomorrow. you're thinking about that? >> yeah, i'm thinking about it. you know. i -- i, like, don't look myself up on the internet in perpetuity ever, but i found, because all these award shows -- it's not the oscars, but yes, there have been 50 award shows up to now. critics around the world, bafta, et cetera. i started reading stuff online, which is my kryptonite. you know. and i only can compare it to, like, smelling my armpit. [ laughter ] i hate how my armpit smells, yet i find myself smelling it sometimes.

"you're right, thank you." and you keep going. >> jimmy: that's impressive. >> you don't want to m this is an abc news special report. >> good evening everyone. i'm juju chang at abc news headquarters in new york, and we're coming on the air at this hour with breaking news. it's morning in israel. it's 1030, to be exact. and we have confirmation now that three

hostages held by hamas have been released into red cross custody. they were driven away in white vehicles with red cross markings, first from khan younis, then gaza city, including one american hostage, keith siegel. as you see right there, 65 year old american israeli held hostage for more than 15 months. you see him flanked there by hamas fighters who are armed and masked, those among the newly released just moments ago in gaza city is what you're looking at siegel entering a car and driving away with the red cross. siegel is one of three male hostages who were freed this morning in israel. the other two are ofer calderon, a 54 year old french israeli dual citizen, and yarden bibas, the 35 year old father of the youngest hostage. the three men, though, were released today as part of the israel gaza ceasefire deal. in exchange, israel is expected to free more than 100 palestinian prisoners and allow for additional humanitarian aid. segal, as you

may know, was raised in north carolina and his wife, aviva were both kidnaped from their home in kfar aza. you're looking at pictures earlier from a khan younis, and this is a picture from earlier this morning of the release of the two other men, aviva, his wife. siegel's wife was released with dozens of women and children in a prisoner exchange back in november in 2023. i want to bring in abc's britt clennett in tel aviv in what's known as hostage square. there was a big yelp that went up. we know for the latest, britt, this handover was far more orderly than the past handovers. >> it was indeed juju. the crowd here erupted into cheers, but there was also tears of joy as keith siegel, the first american in this ceasefire deal to be freed after 15 months in captivity. as i say, there were tears. there were there were cheers, there were claps. but also, i think the overwhelming

emotion here is one of relief as we saw those images on the big screen here in hostage square of keith siegel in his black cap, looking slightly thinner than he was before. he was waving at the crowd on the stage there in gaza city, in the port. now he will be taken for assessment. we don't know what his condition is like, and he'll meet there with his wife, aviva, and their son as well. now aviva herself. she was also taken with keith on october 7th from their kibbutz kfar aza. aviva was released in 2020 3rd november and the week long ceasefire, then an aviva speaking to us in september, said that when keith comes out, he's going to be treated like a king juju brit. >> we also know that the other two hostages have already been reunited with family members, but give us a sense of the elaborate staging this morning that we saw and the feeling right now in hostage square. how are other family members and supporters responding?

>> yeah, i think, you know, with these earlier handovers, we did see hamas trying to project this image of power and order in gaza. and then we saw on thursday those images of a bella yahud going through those large crowds surrounded by those masked militants. she clearly was distressed. that prompted netanyahu to temporarily delay the release of those palestinian prisoners. so certainly, again, we saw order again. there weren't any large crowds. there were mostly just militants there. again, keith waving at the at the crowd. so certainly it seems as though hamas has taken heed of that criticism at least. and it does seem like there's less chaos and commotion there with these handovers. >> well, thank you for the latest from hostage square there in tel aviv. to recap now, three hostages held by hamas have been released, including american keith siegel will have much more on good morning america. i'm juju chang here at abc news
