[LAUGHTER] Welcome back from Thanksgiving, guys. Great to see you, Bo. Great to be back. Yeah, it sure is. Tommy's right here in studio, we love that. All healthy. Thank you. So on today's show, we got a lot to talk about. Congress fights over funding for Ukraine, Israel, and the southern border. The battle for second place heats up between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis. Trump threatens to make another run at repealing Obamacare. And George Santos has a very public and entertaining meltdown over his looming expulsion vote. But first, we are finally getting some good news out of Gaza. Late last week, negotiators Ann Cutter announced that Israel and Hamas had signed off on a temporary pause in fighting and an agreement in which Hamas would release 10 or more hostages a day for four days. And Israel, in exchange, would release Palestinian prisoners. That deal went into effect on Friday. Over the first three days of the truce, Hamas released a total of 58 hostages, primarily women and children, and Israel freed 117 Palestinian prisoners. On Monday, Israel and Hamas agreed to extend the pause in the fighting for two additional days. Here's President Biden, who helped broker the deal speaking about the negotiations. For weeks, I've been advocating to pause in the fighting for two purposes, to increase the assistance getting into the Gaza civilians who need help and to facilitate release of hostages. And we know that innocent children in Gaza are suffering greatly as well. Because this war that Hamas has unleashed is so has such consequences. And this deal is structured so that it can be extended to keep building on these results.
