the new white house press secretary has not set foot in the white house press briefing room. one of donald trump'shite house press secretaries never set foot in the white house press briefing room in the last trump presidency. that last trump white house went over 300 days without a press briefing, 300 days. and then four years ago, this is what happened in the white house press briefing room on inauguration day. >> good evening, everyone. thank you for joining. >> us on this historic day. it's an honor to be here with all of you. when the president asked me to serve in this role, we talked about the importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room. and he asked me to ensure that we are communicating about the policies across the biden-harris administration and the work his team is doing every single day on behalf of all american people. there will be times when we see things differently in this room. i mean, among all of us. that's okay. that's part of our democracy. >> the trump white house doesn't think so. they don't think that's part of our democracy. they don't care ab

now, back here at the white house, we are seeing a race against the clock, essentially, to turn this white house from the biden white house back into the trump white house. i know you were talking to chris emery before about just the machinations of how exactly that works. but there are essentially incoming and outgoing moving trucks close to the white house, ready on standby, and some hundred members of resident staff as our betsy klein reported, to move the biden stuff out and then begin the process of moving the trump stuff in after a period of, of course, a deep cleaning that goes on across the white house. there will probably be some five hours between now and when the staff here need to get everything done and later, when the trumps return here to the white house as the first couple once more, it will kind of be like maybe they never left. their furniture, art, clothing, all of that should be, if everything goes smoothly, in the places that they are supposed to be. so that they can now proceed to live at the white house once again for another four years. >> tim naftali, what we're about to witness, talk a little bit about the history o

white house reporter said. that's the white house press corps. trump standard, not as horrific. and they're fine with that. columbia journalism review reports incoming press secretary caroline leavitt and communications director steven chung are seen by white house reporters as full maga, but they're also professionals. as the veteran reporter put it, of course, that's impossible. full maga means full lying all the time about everything that is not professional press communication from the white house. but it is the trump standard, the lowered trump standard that most members of the white house press corps willingly accept. a lie is not an answer, and most of the white house press corps do not know that or care about it. most of the white house press corps are eager to be lied to by the white house press secretary, or preferably donald trump, directly, because most of the white house press corps have instantly adjusted to the trump standard, the lowest standard ever established by a white house in all things, from hiring to truth telling. last night on the daily show, intrepid correspondent jordan klepper s

and after the trump white house started to realize that those were all the things they had just shut down, there was a hue and cry and a huge pushback all over the country. and what happened? the trump white house backed down and tried to say that, oh, this wasn't what they had meant to do that. no, no, no, medicaid wasn't being shut off. where'd you hear that? you tell that to the states that all day couldn't access any medicaid payments. again, after a hue and cry and huge pushback, they changed their mind or rather, changed their explanation and said, oh, no, no, no, we didn't mean that pell grants and federally supported student loans, those won't be included. well, they certainly appeared to be on the list this morning. but then after the hue and cry and the pushback, they tried to say, oh no, no, no, they never were. the white house apparently had no idea what was going to turn off when they flipped that switch today, shut down the government. by the way, what's the government? ready? fire! aim! this white house had no idea what the impact was of what they were doing. and so the

the trump white house has just reversed course on another really important thing tonight. ok at this headline in the new york times, quote, state department permits distribution of hiv medications to resume for now. the trump administration today issued a waiver for life saving medicines and medical services, offering a reprieve for a worldwide hiv treatment program that was halted last week. the waiver, announced today by secretary of state marco rubio, seemed to allow for the distribution of hiv medications. pressure works, attention works. trump administration cut off crucial drugs for people with hiv around the world, risking, among other things, that all of those people might not only die, but they might, in the meantime, develop drug resistant hiv, which would then be unleashed on the world. hey, that seems like a great plan. but focused pushback made them change course today, and that incredible story is one thing in tonight's news, among what feels like about 5 million, there are at least a dozen different items just in the news just today that would be worthy of it

down with the israeli prime minister today ahead of netanyahu's meeting with president trump next week at the white house, netanyahu will become the first foreign leader to sit down with president trump at the white house since he came into office for this second term, and that meeting will come at a critical moment as israel and hamas are set to resume negotiations next week over the next phases of the cease fire agreement, whether or not it can be extended beyond the six weeks. it also comes as the israeli military is ramping up military operations in the occupied west bank, and as the israeli defense minister israel katz says that israeli military operations in jenin aren't just going to be limited to rooting out militants, but rather that the israeli military plans to keep an extended presence in the jenin refugee camp. we are now also on the cusp of three more hostages being released, and we've now learned the names of those three set to be released tomorrow. arbel yehoud, a 29 year old who was taken captive from kibbutz nir oz gadi mozes, also from kibbutz nir oz. he is 80 years old. one of the old
