About this episode

Donald Trump tells thousands of supporters at a pre-inauguration rally that he will impose severe limits on immigration on his first day in office. His swearing-in at noon has been moved indoors due to the extreme cold. Hamas has released three Israeli hostages and Israel released 90 Palestinian prisoners on the first day of the new ceasefire. And TikTok has thanked Trump and begun restoring its services after he said he would revive the app's access in the U.S.
