we are following major breaking stories this afternoon. >> a victory rally about to get underway before tomorrow's icy inauguration in washington for president elect donald trump. and then on the other side of the globe, three women, three female hostages back in israel and the fragile middle east. cease fire is holding for now. you are in the cnn newsroom. i'm jessica dean in new york. let's begin now in washington with president elect trump, a day away from being sworn in as america's 47th president. and today, the incoming president and vice president elect, jd vance, paying their respects at arlington national cemetery, where there was a wreath laying ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier. now the tone shifts from traditional and somber to this to the capital one arena. it's far more celebratory there. trump, preparing to speak to a victory rally in that arena in just a few hours. but obviously it is already quite full there. cnn's jeff zeleny is live. he

joins us there. jeff, it is quite cold in washington. things have been moved inside. i know that arena already filling up, and it is interesting to kind of compare and contrast. it really does speak to donald trump and who he is to have that somber, traditional moment. earlier today at arlington national cemetery and then have this rally where you are this evening jessica, this is a moment of celebration. >> there is no doubt about it. you can feel it. you can see it on the faces of donald trump supporters who have traveled to washington from all corners of the country. never mind. there is not going to be a parade outside. there is not going to be the traditional inaugural festivities. but that has not stopped people from really filling the streets of downtown washington and indeed the arena behind me. here it is a few hours from the moment where the former president and soon to be future president will be speaking, but the energy is

already palpable. and jessica, this really you can feel that a new era is dawning in washington and that starts at noon tomorrow. of all the rallies of all the countless, in fact, hundreds of rallies in battleground states and beyond, this is perhaps the culmination of all of that. there are people finally truly seeing what they've been hoping for so long a return of donald trump to the white house. now, of course, that does not come without controversy. it does not come without a sense of resistance from democrats. but jessica, it is so different than it was eight years ago when there was that resistance out in the streets. that does not feel the same. it's a more targeted resistance, if you will, and there is far more support for donald trump on the eve of him taking office. so he'll be having a rally here with his supporters and already behind the scenes. the work is beginning for day one. >> yeah. and to that point that you're making, jeff there far more organized, and they have

done a lot of preparation for what's going to transpire tomorrow, which is the business, of course, of being president. we know that the president elect has a slate of executive actions prepared and being prepared that he will sign into into law tomorrow. what can you tell us about that? >> look, i mean, the one that will probably be getting the most attention, executive orders and actions aren't usually that sexy. but look, the tiktok whole issue over the last few days, that is going to be one of the first official acts of president donald trump, the 47th president of the united states. he's going to effectively stall the ban. so effectively, it's already been restored, service has been restored. but he is going to step in and much to the dismay of some of his fellow republicans who believe that china has had too much influence in gathering americans data. but that will be one of the first executive orders he signs. i'm told he will also at the capitol tomorrow, shortly after taking the oath of office, will be

signing executive actions on immigration. there could be raids in american cities. he also will be doing a variety of things, and all eyes probably are on those pardons. for january 6th defendants. he has long promised to pardon some of those defendants. it's unclear if that will be a blanket pardon or a targeted pardon. but jessica, that is where we find ourselves at this moment of history. he will be standing in the rotunda at noon tomorrow, the very sight of where some of those defendants were arrested and charged for their crimes, for the insurrection just four years ago. so this is a big moment in the country's history, a turning of the page moment. you can feel it in every respect. president biden just has one final day in office before president trump returns to power. >> yeah, yeah, you can tell it's really, truly palpable. this change that is coming. jeff zeleny, thank you very much for that reporting. and joining us now, florida republican congressman carlos

gimenez. congressman, thanks so much for being here with us today. >> it's my pleasure. >> i want to ask you first, my colleague jeff zeleny, just walking through a number of things that trump wants to do, and i want to go through a few of them. i want to start with tiktok. it's on the minds of millions of americans. you are one of many republicans who voted for that ban. and you said then in a statement that tiktok poses a serious threat to our nation's national and cyber security. do you still believe that? >> yes, yes, i do, absolutely do. or else i would not have voted for the bill. and so, yeah, i believe that tiktok should be banned. it should be sold to an american company. >> and so the president elect came out this morning. he's he says he wants to put in, you know, a 90 day extension, kind of give them a buffer zone that he proposed. perhaps the american america has a 50% stake with, with either the current owners or new owners. is that acceptable to you? what do you want to sehappen? >> i want the law to be complied with. the fact that the president wants to give 90 day extension for that to

happen, so that millions and millions of tiktok users, you know, are, you know, have have the ability to have tiktok and maybe into the future, i may be able to be okay with that, but at the end, i want the law to be complied with. they need to sell. they need to sell to an american company. it is an existential threat to to america. the data that's been gathered on millions and millions of americans goes right to the ccp. also, it helps them in their race for a.i., which is and not not in america's best interest. so that, you know, i believe the law should be complied with. but i'll, you know, i'll give the the president, you know, his 90 days to to see if he can come up with a better way. but right now i'd rather see the law just complied with. >> and i know you sit on the house committee on china, the vice president of china is due to attend the inauguration. that's going to mark the first time ever a senior chinese official of that level has done so. the ceo of tiktok is attending the inauguration.

we're also our colleagues are reporting that he's going to be at this rally tonight. some people would say that by the looks of that, it looks like this administration is cozying up to the ccp. >> what would you say it may be the other way around that the ccp is trying to gather favor with the new administration and so, again, look, like you said, i sit on the on the select committee. i know the kind of threat that china poses. i know what the how they go about influencing the world around them. if i were china, i'd be trying to do the same thing. but i would hope that at the end that president trump will let that law go and and proceed as it should, it got wide bipartisan support. it was passed through congress. and it's a law, and it's upheld by the supreme court. and so, you know, i think we did our part. and i think that that the president needs to do his part. like i said, i'll give him the 90 days to see if he can work something out. >> are you confident that you'll be satisfied with how

this ends up? >> no, no. we'll see what happens. we'll see at the at the end of the 90 days or before. but at the end of the day, i still want tiktok to be sold to an american company. look, i don't want tiktok to go off the air. i just don't want it to be controlled by the chinese communist party. if it's controlled by an american company, i'm fine with it. i'm just not fine with it being controlled by the chinese communist party. i'm not so fine. also, with a 50 over 50 split either. i think it just needs to be an american company. then that's that's it. >> and there are senators, senator tom cotton, senator pete ricketts that that have voiced similar. they're saying they stand by this as well. do you are you all talking to the president's team? are you trying to nudge him in that direction? is there any sort of outreach? >> no, i haven't talked to the president's team. and the president's team has not spoken to me about it. and so i would hope that in the coming days, now that when they get on board that they speak to the republican members of the of the select committee as to why

we were all behind this law and why we think it's it's necessary. and and the same thing on the senate side. and so, you know, i expect a robust dialog on this. and we may have differences of opinion, but, you know, we need to row in the same direction. >> i also want to talk about immigration. that's another bucket that he's really focused on. and executive actions that are planned for tomorrow. um including potentially that could lead to raids in cities across america. also the, you know, a variety of policies kind of tied into that. what's your expectation for how this goes in the immediate in the next, let's say, 48 hours or so? >> well, i believe that he's going to write a number of executive orders that reverses the biden, the disastrous biden administration's policies on the border and secures our border. and then he the first order of business is getting the those illegal immigrants that have

entered the country that have committed crimes in the united states, that's going to be the focus of, you know, of the the first, you know, wave of of deportations, and rightly so. i mean, we don't need to have more criminals in, in the united states. and then i expect that he's going to follow the law. and and that means that those that were given a pardon to come into the united states claiming asylum, they need to have their day in court. those that those asylum claims are invalid need to be deported according to the law. and those that do have a violent asylum claim can stay according to the law. i just i think that all you need to do here is follow the law, which is what the majority of americans want. >> all right. representative carlos jimenez, thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. >> it's my pleasure. >> coming up, a ceasefire in the middle east is now underway with three hostages finally back in israel, after months and months of captivity. we're getting new video of them reuniting with their families. we're live in israel tracking all of these

developments. also, president joe biden spending his final full day as president in south carolina, a place that really helped him become president, delivering his farewell to the state that launched him into office in 2020. you're in the cnn newsroom. >> after a big comeback, donald trump begins his second term. history unfolds live on cnn. join jake tapper and anderson cooper as the 45th president. >> i, donald john trump becomes the 47th. >> the inauguration of donald trump tomorrow at eight on cnn. >> okay, everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. >> ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health, and ensure complete with 30g of protein. where are you headed? >> where am i headed? am i just going to take what the market gives me? no. i can do some research. >> you know, that's backed by jp morgan's leading strategists like us. >> when you want to invest with more confidence, the answer is

>> we have some new video to show you. you see the three hostages released from gaza today. they are tearfully embracing family at a hospital in israel. the three of them have been taken to this hospital for assessment, to be able to recover, to spend time with their friends and family. our jim sciutto is in tel aviv right now. and jim, you have been there as this has been playing out the first initial piece of a tiered ceasefire. and hostage deal. what are you seeing and hearing there in israel as this moment that so many people have been waiting for, has, has, has now, we've now arrived. >> you know, this has been 470 days of almost exclusively sad and traumatic images of this war on both sides in gaza, certainly from the relentless bombing there and here in israel. the attacks we've seen going back to october 7th. but

families waiting for just a shred of news of whether their loved ones are even alive in hamas custody. and now three families, families at least, are getting these joyful, just, joyful moments like we're showing on the screen there. these hugs, these sort of endless hugs between young women, first with their mothers and now other members of their family, smiles, but also tears and really, strength. i've seen a lot of strength in those photos because these are three young women who suffered so much for more than a year and a half, able to manage a smile in this moment. and we shouldn't underestimate the length and difficulty of the recovery. i was speaking to one of the doctors who will be treating them in the coming days and weeks, who said that the smile can hide a lot of pain, a lot of trauma underneath, and one can only expect that they carry that with them. and then this doctor also made the point that when when hostages come home and, and others are left

behind, including perhaps people they know, right, that they don't feel completely relieved. right? they want to see, like the hostage families as well want to see. they want to see the rest of the hostages come home, too. >> yeah. and as you mentioned, it's just so psychologically traumatizing for these young women who now hopefully will be given the space to heal in the way that they need to. and again, to just be with their loved ones who i know have just ached for them for well over a year now. jim, what now? we have seen these this these first three hostages come back to israel. we are seeing aid going into gaza. what do we anticipate? how do we anticipate this flows from here? >> this is a delicately choreographed, multi-tiered, multi-stage agreement. today is just the first day. a cease fire. the silencing of the bombing in gaza for the first time in 470 days, that

certainly a victory, a relief for the people of gaza, but also the release of palestinian prisoners. the first day of the deal calls for israel to release 95 palestinian prisoners from a prison, the ofer prison in the west bank, including ten teenagers. we should note that not all, not all of those prisoners have been convicted of crimes. many of them are held under what's known as administrative detention, which means that they were held, but not necessarily convicted of anything. and that's that's a an exchange that's going to continue every week over the course of this six week first phase of the agreement. another handful of hostages, israeli hostages to be released on saturday, at which point more palestinians will be released. and over the course of those six weeks, 33 a total of 33 israeli hostages will be released. and i'd be remiss, jessica, not to also mention another piece of this. and that

is the aid that is going into gaza starting today. thousands of trucks have been waiting outside to bring that aid in. and let's be frank, gaza is in deep humanitarian crisis. a shortage of food. there is famine there. there's the outbreak of disease. and most, if not all of the hospitals are not functioning there because they have been the subject of attacks as well. so there is there is a lot of suffering to be relieved in these coming days and weeks. and today we saw the first installment of that. and that's an important step. but it's just one step. and we'll of course, continue to watch and hope that that the subsequent steps are taken as well. >> yeah. and it comes i don't have to tell you, after months and months and months of negotiations and u.s. officials and other officials from around the world pushing for this moment. all right. jim sciutto, thank you so much for that. reporting live from tel aviv. later this hour, we will speak with the grandson of a hostage set to be released during this first phase of the ceasefire deal. that's coming up in just

a little bit. >> superman, the christopher reeve story, february 2nd on cnn. >> get 0% apr for 60 months on 2024 gmc ev models. that's up to 17,200 in average finance savings. >> look at those beautiful flowers. >> i got to tell sarah. >> do we need to knock on neighbors doors to tell them their flowers look good? >> i'm just going to tell her anyway. >> progressive can't save you from becoming your parents. but we can save you money when you bundle home and auto with us. >> thinking of banking in africa? think zenith. >> in today's fast moving, fast changing world, you need a

the current president, who has just a few hours left in his term, president biden spending his final hours as president in the state that helped catapult him into power. south carolina. cnn's arlette saenz is traveling with the president, and she joins us now live from charleston. and arlette, it is a significant day for president biden as he closes this chapter of a very decades long political career. and it's probably no accident that he's doing it there in south carolina, a place that was so pivotal to his to him becoming president. >> that's right. jessica. and, you know, i actually spoke with congressman jim clyburn, the man who endorsed biden back in 2020 when his campaign was really struggling. that endorsement really launched biden to a win here in south carolina. and then on to winning the democratic nomination. clyburn had told me that biden personally called him just a few weeks ago and said he wanted to end his presidency right here in south carolina, that he knew it was

fitting and knows how important this state has been to him, both politically and personally, not just this day has not just revived biden's campaign back in 2020, but it also offered the biden family a bit of comfort and solace in the past. after the passing of their son, beau biden, back in 2015. they had actually traveled here to south carolina to have some moments as a family for the first time after beau's passing. now, biden this morning spoke at a church service at royal missionary baptist church in north charleston. he talked about how he hopes that people will keep the faith, keep the hope and stay engaged as he is preparing to leave office. and as president-elect donald trump is preparing for his inauguration tomorrow. now, in a short while, we will be hearing from biden as he is speaking at the international african american museum here in charleston. that is something that he has talked with often with a lot of the local leaders about here. but biden has also been trying to push through some final actions as he's preparing to leave

office tomorrow. this morning, he spoke about that hostage and ceasefire deal that went into effect, saying that the guns in gaza are finally silent after he and his team had collaborated with trump's team to try to push that deal across the finish line. now, the president also took some other executive action today, granting pardons to five individuals, including the late civil rights leader marcus garvey, and offering commutations to two others. but there's still one outstanding question about whether president biden will offer any preemptive pardons to those individuals who might be targeted for prosecution. once trump takes power. i'm told that biden has not made a final decision on that, that he is still discussing the possibility of preemptive pardons. so that is certainly a decision that is likely to go down to the wire as he's preparing to leave office tomorrow at noon. >> yeah, in less than 24 hours now, arlette saenz in charleston, south carolina, covering the president. thank you so much. our panel is back with me now. thanks so much for for coming back and talking through all of this. brian, i want to start with you. as we

were looking at those images inside the capital one arena, looking at what it looks like in there, and my colleague jeff zeleny talking about this earlier this hour, just you can the palpable feeling of a page turning of of of a new era that's dawning on washington, dc. it really is different than 2017, the way he's coming in now in 2025. i remember covering that inauguration in 2017, and it was a bit of a more muted affair. no one really knew exactly. it was so unexpected. this is is not that. >> this is this is definitely a celebration. listen, i was there in 2016. i remember sort of the feeling that people in washington were just unhappy that donald trump had won because he was bringing disruption to washington, dc. you get the feeling, you get the sense now that everybody here in washington is at least almost everyone on the republican side. they're eager to have him because they want disruption. so it's a complete 180 from where we were from when we first came in to where

we are now. but it's also, you know, there's been a lot that's happened. you've had covid, you've had inflation, you've had a huge things that have an impact on the american psyche. and they, more than anybody, are ready to turn this page. they're certainly ready to turn this page on liberalism in america. they flat out rejected it this last november. and they think going forward they need something in sort of more conservative, more sounded, you know, more, more business oriented. and that's what you're seeing. you're seeing the excitement in that arena is a lot of small business owners there that are just happy to turn the page and sort of start putting their bank accounts at full again. and that's what president trump brings. >> and doug, you know, brian touches on something which is we were talking about earlier as well, which is this is a gop again, unlike 2017 where there was resistance within his own party that's faded away. this is trump's gop, no question. >> i remember actually being on the member call when that paul ryan had. i wasn't supposed to be on it, but i had the number where paul ryan told republican members, you do what you need to in this election in 2016, and there will be no penalties for that, thinking that donald trump was going to lose. this

is after access hollywood. and, you know, other revelations. that kind of conversation does not happen now within the republican party. i was at an event two days ago with speaker johnson, and he is standing right with president trump, not just as you would expect in, you know, conversationally in and around the days of, you know, an inauguration. but clearly this has been months long of of preparation. and he knows that he needs donald trump on his side as speaker to get things through with such a small majority in the house. >> yeah, there is that just tiny, tiny majority. lulu. i want to play. i talked to jason miller, a senior adviser for the trump campaign, yesterday, about a number of things. but on immigration, just what they're hoping to achieve, kind of from the jump. let's listen to that clip. >> there are already 1.3 million people who are in this country illegally that are already approved for deportation, but for various reasons, they haven't been sent back either to the country that they came from, or if they're going to be sent to a third

country. but these people are already processed and approved to be deported, but it hasn't been done yet. so i think when president trump starts moving on this on monday and the entire administration makes this a top focus, i think people are going to notice an immediate difference. and i think it's really going to send a signal for anyone thinking about coming into the united states and thinking they might be able to pull this off. >> there's certainly been a lot of signals from them. they want this shock and awe. they want people to feel it. they want them, as he just said, to, to notice a difference. logistically, this is a tall order. what they're what they're proposing it is. >> and if you listen what what he said there was i want the american people. he's going to want the american people to really notice the difference. and so what they're planning are these kind of very showy things. because the fact is, if you have people who have a criminal history that isn't the vast majority of people who are here illegally in this country, undocumented immigrants, that's persons, people that you'll find one by one, right? you do a rate that's not showy. they're planning on going into democratic areas.

they're planning on really making a kind of show of force that, you know, cameras will be on them, you know, you'll see men in vests kind of, you know, knocking on doors. they want to send a signal that america is closed to immigration and that you're going to see that in a number of different ways. and they're planning this isn't just something on the first day, you know, they're going to be rolling this out over many, many months. but the fact is this is a very tall order what they want to do. and so there is substance. there is and there is what is for show. and we will have to see where those two things meet. >> right, right. and karen look, it could potentially set up this first clash between this new administration. if they go into these blue cities that are run by democrats to to provide a contrast. and it will be interesting to see what that looks like as they try to to push back against some of these democratically led governments in these blue cities. >> yeah, i mean, it's

suggests, unfortunately, that donald trump is about to make good on his promise of revenge and retribution. the fact that he's starting very intentionally in blue cities, cities with democratic mayors, and obviously with illinois, also a democratic governor. and i think what lulu just said is really important. you know what this looks like and the sort of big scooping up, i mean, this is not a country that does well with racial profiling. so what is going to be, you know, if you're trying to scoop up lots of people and then trying to figure out who are the individuals that you've scooped up? i mean, i've been racially profiled. it is not fun. let me tell you. you know, then trying to sort out who are the people? we we were trying to get versus the people who just maybe didn't look a certain way that's going. it's not just going to be a clash, frankly, with these democratic mayors and governors. it's going to be a very startling for the american people. and i do think there's the potential that some folks will look at

that, particularly if you have instances where there are teachers and faith institutions preparing for the idea that some children, their parents maybe aren't coming home. and what is so what is that going to look like? and so i do think, you know, they think it's going to be this shock and awe, but i just, you know, could also be terrifyingly it against our values in terms of if we're seeing people treated harshly or without respecting their basic humanity and dignity. i think that could be that could actually backfire. >> and brian there, so there's there's the immigration bucket. there's also, i think, the buzziest one at this particular moment in time for millions of americans. tiktok. what is what is the president elect going to do about tiktok? how do they, you know, move forward? i talked to congressman carlos gimenez just in the last hour. he really wants this ban to go through, as it was authored by congress and upheld in a unanimous ruling by the supreme court. and he's not alone. there are some other republicans that want that as well. how do you see that

playing out and within the party as well? >> i mean, they're going to have to sit down and talk to with president trump. obviously, president trump has seen a reason to come in and give tiktok its extension. you know, maybe they've done the right things to sort of to alleviate the concerns. and this has been something that president trump, trump brought up in his first term that he ceded, that he's seen it as a national security concern. he's clearly he's clearly seen something in the leadership that he's willing to turn the page. he's, you know, they're willing to sort of restructure. you had project texas would have been the ultimate sort of goal of this administration. but you have a president trump who's willing to engage. and so what you don't have is a president trump who's sticking his head in the sand and saying he's not willing to talk to anybody. you know, what you have is a president who that he what is actually motivating him is the 175 million tiktok users. >> that is a huge constituency, i think. and, you know, he's a populist and and it's popular. no, i mean, i think i mean, i don't think it's a tiktok. >> it's $1 billion business. lulu. tiktok is $1 billion business. there are a lot of small business people who are making a tremendous amount of revenue for their families. and

president trump is the small business president. so we shouldn't be surprised that he's sticking up for tiktok because he's sticking up for small businesses. removing that from small businesses is going to cause extreme hardship. so what's wrong with having a process where you can come in and have a conversation with works? let me be clear about tiktok and bipartisan. >> there was laws that were passed that were bipartisan, and then the supreme court upheld it. so, you know, well, i think this is going to go back to the courts, guys. >> we got to get in a quick break because the president elect is headed to capital one arena very quickly. i want to say thank you very much to all of you for being here. we really appreciate it. we are going to take a quick break. we'll be right back. with kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres saturday at

33. daniel, thanks so much for joining. >> thank you for welcoming me. those are such an exciting footage. it's unbelievable to see them coming back home. you know, they are all like family for me. >> yeah, they must be. and i've noticed that speaking to the hostage families for all these months since october 7th, that even when you personally don't get good news, your family, the relief of seeing your grandfather come home, you feel joy for your fellow family members who are having that moment of joy. >> absolutely. and, you know, it's it's so amazing to see those hostages going out and feeling so much joy for them as each one of them, amanda. emily mother is like a family for me already. and yarden ghonim and. merav and as well amit and oded, the sister of. doron. and i felt it when omer neutra was announced that he was murdered on october 7th. and i cried so

much over him and i said, wow, i've never felt so sorry and cried so much for someone i don't know. yeah. >> yeah, they feel like family. well, tell me, because i imagine it must be difficult as well, because you are hoping and praying for the moment you get to see your grandfather again. oded. here we're showing the happy images of today's families reuniting. we also have images of your grandfather folks watching. right? oh, there we go. there he is. and your grandmother? she was released in november 2023, soon after the october 7th attacks. tell us what your hopes are for your grandfather now. >> well, first of all, to see them one more time, having the same picture there in the cactus garden, which that's why we have the symbol of the cactus of the family. we made it for the pope. my uncle made it. my grandma gave him. so i hope to see that. and. but then, you know, my grandfather is 84 years old. he's the only great grandfather held hostage

in the world. he has a lung disease and a blood pressure disease. and we don't know nothing about him. since november 23rd, when there was the last hostage release, two hostages saw him in gaza. because when my grandmother came back, she said he was murdered because she saw him on the back yard of the cactus garden, which they built for 64 years. when the terrorists put her on a motorbike after they rolled it in a carpet. and when she looked back, she was on her stomach. she saw him on the ground, unconscious and bleeding. she thought he was murdered, but he was only unconscious because he fainted. okay, i see. so then on the when she came back for more than 30 days, we thought he was dead. and suddenly two hostages had been released. in the first agreement. told us they saw him on october 7th. one of them in gaza. addis sagi, after she was shocked from the amount of civilians being in kibbutz near us and then hanukkah to rest in peace. a hero, she was with him for about 20 or 30 days, and

then he didn't feel good. and because he gave her treatment all this time because she was a handicapped, she told him she can't stay there. so they moved her. and then we don't know if he came back to the same apartment. so we have nothing. >> that's the. that's the uncertainty. tell me about your grandmother's recovery. because we've been saying on the air that the moment of freedom is not complete freedom, right? because you carry the trauma with you. how has your grandmother's recovery been since she was released? >> so, first of all, physically, when she came back, she was so tiny. >> she lost almost 22 pounds in 17 days. she had a very bad diarrhea. that's why she was released. that she wanted to spread the disease inside the tunnels. but then her physical problems kind of disappeared. she came completely steady when she was shaking before. that's why i believe those hostages are going into survival mode. the body that they can survive and mentally, we brought her a

really great psychiatrist that worked with her, but still, i asked her today. grandma, don't you feel joy from this moment? yeah, she said, yeah. and i can, you know, do like that with the head. but i will feel relief only when the last hostage is home. i'm still in the tunnel until the last hostage is home. then we can party as much as you want. >> that is a common feeling i feel. i hear from so many hostage families. they want everybody to come home and won't feel relief until then. well, listen, i hope you get that moment soon with your grandfather, oded. and we can certainly hope for the best for the other families as well. >> i really believe it will happen because we saw, you know, i really thankful for president trump, president elect trump, because i think the pressure he made and sending witkoff here to make such a big pressure over both sides. and i know that witkoff pressure here and prime minister al-thani, the qatari prime minister, the pressure he made on hamas on both sides, on

those moments made at work and that's that's actually in the end, trump and i what he said is that he wants the end of the war and all the hostages to be released. that's why i believe we will move not to being six months until 18 months. >> well, we can hope in the administration told hostage families this weekend that they're committed to getting getting the deal. all the phases of the deal done. daniel lifshitz, thanks so much for joining this evening. we certainly wish the lifshitz family that they will soon get the relief of seeing their loved ones come home. uh, please do stay with us. we'll have much more news right after a short break. >> news night with abby phillip weeknights at 10:00 eastern on cnn. >> 48% of americans don't get enough magnesium, which is vital for bone, nerve, and

delegates and the thousands of people that were to line this area ahead of the inauguration for several hours at a time, with mother nature just playing a factor in this, they're probably breathing a sigh of relief this morning, because you have to go back four decades. the last time the temperature was predicted to be around this cold. so 85. that was reagan's second inauguration. it won't be that cold tomorrow, but it is the wind chill values. that is the apparent temperature on your exposed skin as you step outside. that will make it feel like the 85 seven degree temperature that was actually taking place during reagan's second inauguration. there it is five degrees in washington, d.c. for your wind chill value, right? during that noon time period. that is what makes this long exposure to this type of cold so dangerous. the winds will be gusting out of the northwest at 15 to 25mph, and it is just going to be downright miserable to steal. one of my colleagues terms to describe this. what's happening now as a rain snow mix. but
