Tonight on 360, the Inside Story of Monday's inauguration, how the ceremony and celebrations will change now that swearing in a new president has come from the cold. Also tonight, keep it a monist, a new president's TikTok, flip-flop from skeptic at best to out-and-out fan and what may be behind it. And later from Israel, breaking news on the ceasefire with Hamas, the Israeli cabinet approving the deal, meaning hostages could start coming home as soon as Sunday. Good evening, thanks for joining us.
We begin tonight with a few degrees and a few short steps in the world of difference I'll be making and how inauguration day will look and more importantly feel. For the first time in four decades, the ceremony and all the follows will be moving indoors from the Capitol steps into the Rotunda. Now, President Elect Trump says he ordered the move because the cold along with the cancellation of the inaugural parade. In addition, what you see here, workers are starting to assemble an alternate indoor stage, security teams are scrambling to deal with crowds being relocated to the Capitol One Arena where the President Elect has promised a lot of appearance and where elements of the inaugural parade will now be held.
As for the weather itself, according to the National Weather Service, the high on Monday will be 23 degrees. And so far cry from the seven-degree day back in 1985, the force around Reagan to start his second term in office indoors. Mr. Reagan was 73 at the time and survived in your fatal gunshot wounds several years before.
William Henry Harrison was 68 when he took the oath outdoors and unbiddedly cold and went March day back when the President was sworn in later in the year. In any case, it was still cold enough. A month later, he died of pneumonia blamed on exposure to the elements that day. With me here's Caitlin Collins, who was the source coming up the top of the next hour in Washington, senior law enforcement analyst and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe.
Was this decision Caitlin strictly about keeping everyone warm or were there concerns about crowds, the health of crowds and maybe not being crowds showing up? I think maybe the crowd size is something that everyone thinks about because of course that was a moment after Trump's first inauguration. But primarily what I heard from people today is this had been something under consideration this week as they were looking at that forecast, not just the numbers, but the windshield and what it's expected to be like five degrees on Monday morning. And obviously when you go to these inaugurations and cover them, people start lining up at six and seven o'clock in the morning hours.
Yeah, it's an all day affair. Yeah, hours before Trump is even going to get sworn in. And so I do think there was real concern about that. But also think about the people who were going to be sitting out there, all these lawmakers and not only the President-elect who will be the oldest to be sworn in, but also his predecessor.
So he will be there, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama will also be there as well. And so I think there was just real concern about the health and concerns for people and what that was going to look like. But making the switch now is no easy thing.
I mean they spend months planning and inauguration and what this is going to look like. And there's been high interest in VIPs attending this one. So really what they were trying to figure out today is how are they going to do this inside? What is it going to look like and where are they going to put everybody?
Well, I mean is it clear, like, is seating at much more limited obviously than it was? It's going to be way more limited. I mean, they'll be sworn in in the rotunda in a way similar to how Reagan was. I think it'll look a little bit different.
But you see they've been building the stage this afternoon. The question is where to put all the guests. And because it's not just all these donors who they had run out of tickets for essentially even people who were donating six figure sums and in some cases over a million dollars were not getting actual seats at the inauguration because they had run out of essentially space. So that's the question now of where to put them inside the Capitol, how to space out these VIPs and also just all the people.
Who makes the cut? And where are they sitting? I mean, these are people who are used to prime, you know, kind of attendance when they come to something like this. So that's a real question that they're all struggling with.
But I do think primarily the concern was going to be the weather and what this was going to look like outside because I mean, you saw when Trump was inaugurated eight years ago, it was like in the 30s. It seems downright balmy compared to what Monday's going to look like. Andrew, you oversaw intelligence and counterterrorism for President Obama's inauguration in 2009. Would security officials have had a contingency plan in place or something like this?
Absolutely. That you can't possibly overstate the amount of coordination and planning that goes into an inauguration. It happens long before you even know who's going to be inaugurated. The team that works on this, it's dozens of law enforcement agencies, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers and national guard folks.
And they have planned for every contingency. This is not ideal by any stretch to have to make this sort of change just three days before the event. But they certainly have the resources, they have the capability and most importantly, they have the coordination. This group has been working together as a whole of government team for many months.
It's just a matter of changing the chess pieces on the board here. And in some ways, the security environment is actually helped by having more indoor events. You know, Kaitlin, back in the old Soviet Union, the Kremlin, they'd always look at who was on the wall, like near to the leader to see who was up and who was down. I think there could be a lot of people looking at who made the cut to be indoors.
I mean, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, you know, Tim Cook, CEOs of Apple and Google. I mean, everyone is going to be at this inauguration in terms of we've seen record number fundraising and donations. These are people that are not donating $1 million. So, I mean, this is a president who knows the importance of visual image.
And seeing, you know, well-known people, very identifiable people in that area near him does send a signal. Yeah, he's a producer in and of it himself. I mean, he often gets frustrated with his advanced people rallies. If they didn't create enough space for guests or they didn't put, you know, the press in the right area.
And so, now they're balancing having all of these people who are going to be there, the CEO of TikTok hours after that band goes into place is going to be there. Supreme Court justices are going to be there. Congressional leadership. I mean, that's in addition to other diplomatic figures who are coming in and major donors, just generally that are going to be there, and his family as well.
And so, and the cabinet picks. I mean, this is a lot for them to shuffle. And the other thing to watch after he is sworn in inside the rotunda is typically, and what they've been planning for was to have a parade where they drive down. And as Jimmy Carter started this tradition, the president elected the first lady get out of the car and walk a little bit and greet supporters.
They don't want people standing outside. So, that is being moved inside to the arena, the concert venue in Washington. That's still a question of what that's going to look like, but we do expect Trump to go and to visit that. But I mean, it's just completely changed everything for Monday for them.
And just in terms of security, I mean, look, there's so much DC is locked down anyway on this day, but indoors is obviously safer than outdoors. It's much safer, I understand. But it's just because you can control access, right? There are limited access points to get into that space and you can make sure that everyone is adequately scanned before they go in there.
What the Secret Service traditionally tries to do on the inauguration is essentially turn all of the West Front of the Capitol and all of Pennsylvania Avenue into a pseudo-endoor environment. They completely cut off access to it. They scan everybody that gets near that street or in any position that they would have potential access or a line of sight to the president. That's a much harder thing to do in a much bigger space.
So in some ways, moving the events indoors reduces risk for them. It reduces the size of the crowd they have to scan. And it also reduces the number of people that would have that sort of line of sight access to the president, which is what you're always worried about in terms of things like sniper shots and other sorts of attacks. Interimicate, thanks very much.
I was going to stay with us. I was going to bring in two political strategists, Democrat Paul Baggala, Republican Doug High. Paul, how much do you think this movie indoors will affect if at all the tone, the tenor of the new president's inaugural speech? You won't have that huge crowd at the National Mall to kind of play off of which maybe works in his favor because speaking to that bigger crowd is different than inside.
Well, he does get his energy from the crowds. And I do. I'm really going to accuse us. I think we ought to give the president elect the benefit of the doubt here.
He is going to be bitterly cold. There are going to be a lot of people out there for a very long time if he were to do it outside. So I think that's a good thing. But I think you point to the political challenge, which is he was elected by the middle class and Democrats are going to want to say he's going to serve the billionaire class, right?
There's only 750 billionaires in the whole country. So all of them could fit in that rotunda quite easily. But I'm really interested. It's like the where's Waldo game.
I don't know if you're a boy through that, but you have the book. But Democrats are going to parse those photos as you say, not just see which of the 11 billionaires he's putting in our government, by the way, which is 11 more than Obama, 11 than Obama, 11 more than Bush. Where are the blue collar men who elected him and win it? Where's the oral worker in Michigan who flipped that state from the Democratic Party?
My bet is there's not going to be a whole lot of them there. And it's only going to be the golden tickets going to the billionaire class. Well, like in where's Waldo? There's like 20 different Waldos in those books to search for.
There's like a wizard as well. So there's going to be a lot of people to look for. Like, oh, there's that guy. So Doug, I might have a presidential official portrait, which there's been some comments that it seems a bit stern.
Do you think the image he's projecting that photo signals anything about, I don't know, doesn't mean anything? Oh, it's images that we've seen time and time again. Like Donald Trump likes to project strength. This is a way that he sees himself doing so.
So I wouldn't be surprised by that. And it's compared actually to the last official portrait. Yeah, but you know, Donald Trump has had a lot more official government portraits than most obviously United States presidents, if you understand what I mean. And so, you know, he always wants to project strength.
And I think he's going to try and find a way to do that in the speech. And, you know, to Paul's point, you know, maybe some of those blue collar workers can take Nancy Pelosi seats. She won't be there or Michelle Obama seats and she won't be there. But it's a small, tiny room.
It's tough to get into. And there's a flurry of activity that happens in the Capitol in inauguration day anyways. And so yes, they've been planning this for months, for months, as Katelyn mentioned. You know, I remember in September of 2012 Anderson going to an event at the Capitol where they did the ceremonial hammering of the nails John Boehner did in one bang, hammered the nail into to say we're building the stage for this.
But meanwhile, you have the Secret Service and you have the Capitol inaugural committee planning for this contingency, hoping that they won't have to do it. Obviously, you haven't in 40 years, but they plan for this. Katelyn, the 2017 then President Trump talked about American carnage. He's got a lot of attention, obviously, his inaugural dress.
You have any sense of the theme of this one? I think they're going to stay away from the American carnage in the sense of that was the takeaway from that speech. I think the point is that we're going to be talking about what you'll hear in this one. And they're still putting the final touches on it from what we've heard from our sources, is that it's going to be really a lot of what he focused on on the campaign trail.
And I think the question though is to look at what he said back then and in the last several months to what he's saying now, because obviously he promised a lot of what he was going to do on day one. We've since heard from lawmakers saying, obviously, you can't do that on literal day one, but here's what it'll look like. I think voters will have questions about what that time period does look like in terms of not just securing the southern border, but bringing down inflation and grocery prices, but also foreign issues, solving the war in Ukraine, which he also vowed to do on day one. And when you looked at that scene in polling yesterday, Trump has some of the highest numbers that he's had ever, his highest approval ratings when he went into office.
And so I think what the Trump team seems to recognize is that that means high expectations for what this second term is going to look like. And a lot of what the transition has focused on is getting those priorities done right away, because it is a finite amount of time. It's four years and really potentially only two until the power of Congress changes. And so I think that's really the question going into this and looking at what he says is how he translates those campaign promises now that he's actually about to have the power of the office.
Paul, do you have any doubt? I mean, that on day one that they are going to want to try to get stuff that's going to to make headlines? Oh, there's no question. This time he should try things that are given free advice that are popular.
The first time he came into office, he was above water in the polling. We're popular and unpopular by three or four points. And that lasted 17 days. 17 days.
The whole risk was presidency. He was unpopular. He lost the House, lost the Senate, lost the White House. The thing, again, that I think Democrats need to push is what Caitlin referred to.
He didn't get elected because folks want to buy Greenland. He got elected because folks want to buy groceries. And he by God better cut the cost of groceries, gas and rent. And if he doesn't deliver on that, those middle class blue collar voters who put him there are going to feel betrayed.
I can't emphasize the importance of the first time since Reagan, Republican one voters making less than 50 grand a year. Now, the Democrat, I don't like that. But as an American, I admire it. That's important.
He's got to cut the cost of living for those folks. The guy with Doug Heye, thanks, Caitlin. It's going to be back at the top of the hour for the source to come up next for us. Supreme Court unanimously upholding a law banning TikTok starting Sunday unanimously, which doesn't happen much these days.
So why is the president elect who once tried to ban it while in office now singing the opposite tune? Look at that. And later from the fire zone, people chose not to evacuate from their homes. In many cases fought the fires with firefighters themselves, saved their homes and are now making a stand.
To protect what remains of their homes and neighborhood in the Los Angeles area. We'll be right back. I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy. This week on the podcast, Terms of Service, the idea of riding in a car with no driver can feel daunting.
And this technology raises questions about safety and the future of transportation. That's why I'm here with Nicole Gable, head of business development and strategic partnerships at Wemo. We've always been about safety. No distracted driving.
No drunk driving. Wemo follows the rules of the road. Listen to CNN's Terms of Service, wherever you get your podcasts. Have I got news for your ears?
The podcast. I am your host, Michael Ian Black. His latest thing you see this yesterday was he finds the peace talks boring. Not my favorite guy, but I got to be honest with you.
I know exactly what he's talking about. He's not negotiating. He's not in the room. But how do you think he receives the information?
Because I kind of, sir, because they all sum up, sir, would you like to hear the latest update? They should make like a comic strip out of it. Have I got news for your ears? Check us out on Apple, Amazon Music, wherever you get to my guests.
Even though you can watch the podcast on Spotify. Well, the Matt Supreme Court just did something rarely ever does anymore. They voted unanimously by a nine to zero voted upheld by partisan law banning TikTok from the US market as soon as Sunday, unless the app's Chinese parent company sells it to an American buyer. Now, if the court spoke with one voice today, it's ruling specifically highlights the fact that the president will be enforcing the law has over the years spoken with two voices on this matter, starting then as president Trump in the summer of 2020.
Here's what President Trump then said. We're looking at TikTok. We may be banning TikTok. We may be doing some other things or a couple of options, but a lot of things are happening.
So we'll see what happens. But we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to TikTok. So that was July 31, 2020. On August 6, he issued an executive order blocking any American from doing business with TikTok's parent company, ByteDance.
Quoting from that order, at this time, action must be taken to address the threat posed by one mobile application in particular, TikTok. Now, courts ultimately blocked that executive order, but the Supreme Court today and is ruling cited portions of it approvingly. President Leif though, has already moved on. In March last year, he condemned the bill, according to The New York Times.
This came around the same time that he met with a man named Jeff Yaz, a Republican mega donor who owns a significant share of TikTok's parent company. Mr. Trump denied that they talked about the company, and it's not clear whether Yaz donated directly to the Trump campaign. Now, in any case, the change happened.
Here he is during the campaign promising to preserve TikTok for the 170 million Americans who use it, many of whom vote. For all of those that want to save TikTok in America, vote for Trump. The other side is closing it up. But I'm now a big star on TikTok.
We're not doing anything with TikTok, but the other side is going to close it up. So if you like TikTok, go out and vote for Trump. That was September, late last month, he petitioned the court to pause the law that he just upheld today. That move came just days after meeting at Marlago with this man, TikTok CEO, seen her testifying before congressional subcommittee.
The same CEO who will be a guest at the inauguration on this coming Monday, according to Politico, TikTok's throwing an inauguration party in Washington on Sunday honoring influencers who helped candidate Trump, and there were many of them. Today on social media, President Trump said, quote, the Supreme Court decision was expected and everyone must respect it. My decision on TikTok will be made in the not too distant future, but I must have time to review the situation, stay tuned. As for President Biden, who signed and fought for the law, the Supreme Court upheld, the White House says they do not believe he has the authority to defer enforcement of it when the ban takes effect on Sunday.
They added, however, that they did look into options to keep TikTok accessible. But Marl, this right now from CNET Chief Legal Affairs correspondent Paul Reed, who joins me. So did anything about this ruling come as a surprise wall? Not so much, because we saw during oral arguments a week ago, something we rarely see from the Supreme Court, and that is unity across the justices in their skepticism about TikTok's argument that the app should be protected by the First Amendment and that should override these national security concerns.
And of course, the big national security concerns that prompted the passage of this law was that the app is collecting enormous amounts of data on US users that shared with the Chinese government, and there is a concern that this could be weaponized. Of course, this bill passed with broad bipartisan support. Now, I did think there was a possibility that maybe the Supreme Court would just put a pause on the ban to allow the new administration to come in, try to negotiate a sale, but it was not a surprise at all, that it was upheld as being constitutional. What options does President Trump have at this point when he becomes president?
So the clearest path forward for him is to make a good faith showing that there are negotiations underway to sell TikTok to a US approved buyer. Now, that's the clearest path because the law has a provision for this. If you can prove this, it pauses the ban for a certain amount of time to try to get that sale through. Now, I will note there are some other options.
He can tell his Justice Department not to enforce the law. He tried to do an executive order. But most of those options are going to face legal challenges. This is a law that was passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court.
So right now, the future of this law is ambiguous. I mean, lawyers for content creators reached out to the Justice Department and the White House for some clarification, but it appears pretty clear the Biden administration, they're just going to leave us on the desk. The president-elect, it is Anderson, our first official constitutional controversy of the second Trump administration. All right.
We'll see what happens. Paul Reed, thank you for joining us for the magazine investigator reporter Emily Baker-White. Her upcoming book is Every Screen on the Plan at the War over TikTok, also with his Kerry Carderos and then legal analyst and senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. Kerry, I know you've been focused on this issue.
How do you see the Supreme Court's ruling and the flip-flopping of book parties? Well, the ruling itself is consistent with the oral arguments and the direction that the justices seem to be going in. I did think it was interesting that it was unanimous. It was interesting that they didn't even apply the highest level of scrutiny for a First Amendment case, so they did not even seem to be so concerned about the content arguments on behalf of TikTok or the creators.
They basically accepted the government's arguments that there was a national security justification and they relied on the fact that divestment is an established mechanism for mitigating national security concerns when there's foreign ownership of a U.S. Company. I'm not going to see how the political wins have shifted on this. Many people made fun of Trump previously talking about banning TikTok.
What's behind the shifting wins? So your report before mentioned a meeting with a donor who might have influenced that, but there's also another, I think, simpler explanation. Donald Trump evaluates social media platforms based on how he thinks he's doing on them. Back in 2020, he announced plans to ban TikTok shortly after a number of enterprising teams tanked attendance at one of his rallies.
More recently, in the 2024 election, he was doing very well on TikTok. I think even if you just listen to him talk about why he liked TikTok, he said, I'm a very big star on it. And so we're going to keep it around. What do you say, Emily, to the idea that if the U.S.
bans TikTok would just be replaced by another app controlled by China and on and on? Well, the log does allow for the president to designate further apps for potential bans, apps that are connected to foreign adversary governments. So if this app really is just replaced by another Chinese app, I think a lot accounts for that. But I think there's a bigger question, which is that, and this is what TikTok argued before the court, if the government bans an app because it's worried that the Chinese government might influence our speech patterns in some way, influence the information that we see, influence the content ecosystem by banning an app.
The U.S. government is also doing that exact same thing. It is also changing the content ecosystem. And this is the first time we've seen our government do that this way.
Kerry, that's an argument. Congressman Jim Himes, who was a ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, he opposed banning TikTok on those free speech grounds, saying basically that by banning the app, America is behaving like its adversaries. What do you say to the argument? Right.
Well, so I think there's a lot of validity to that argument in my own assessment. I'm concerned about the United States going down a path of banning apps and limiting Americans access to content. Interestingly, the Supreme Court did not place its decision on that argument. What it relied on more was the U.S.
government's argument, the national security community's argument that the Chinese government had the ability to collect the data that is retained by TikTok, that if they demanded the data being collected on the 170 million American users, that that is what created the national security threat. So the Supreme Court sort of sidestepped that particular issue with respect to the government's argument that the real concern was influence and covert influence about how Americans think and receive information. And Kerry, I mean, is national security still an area that the court tends to defer to the president on? Well, absolutely.
So from that perspective also, this decision is very consistent with judicial deference to the executive branch on national security arguments. Notably, the court in this decision also noted that they did not rely, though, on any classified information to make their decision. The D.C. Circuit also received classified information in Congress, of course, based its decision when it passed this law last spring on classified briefings that really spooked the members of Congress and motivated them in a very bipartisan way to vote for this.
The Supreme Court says that it just based its decision on the open unclassified record. So, I want to thank you so much for your time. I want to say thank you. Thank you very much.
Thanks very much. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. Thank you.
full cabinet proving that the concept of fire and hossell gill set to take effect this sunday or on the on that as firefighters continue to make progress in the battle against the deadly los angeles wild fires los angeles mayor bass said today she'll announce plans next week to start the rebuilding effort quoting mayor bass there's no greater priority than getting people back home with a hundred seventy thousand people are still under evacuation notices tonight but is authorities continue to make arrests over while fire related crimes including looting some residents are living in the evacuation zones that they stay to fight in during fires and they now want to protect their homes in his run a miracle has their story amid the in fire rubble inside the mandatory evacuation zone reggill and his partner ropp roos are holding their ground are you armed defiant and prepared we have other shotguns we're we're ready this is just the first person who comes in the second person grabs other shotgun this is a long-range rifle they position themselves as defenders of their corner of al-tadina so yep we take the guns out of our small and there's a truck on the driveway and we back up the truck right here and uh... put one two or three of us out on the street has anybody stopped by saying anything when they see you guys with your high gregard rob to fight the evacuation order while the fires raged in al-tadina now as long as they don't leave they're permitted to stay in the e-mail alone the los angeles county sheriff's department has made thirty six arrests for suspected crimes like looting and trespassing the gregard rob finally have power back on they're standing cold nights and garden host showers so they can rebuild and protect their home we're watching out for people who don't belong but the lack of utilities in the neighborhood is wearing down the holdouts like tina cardis just next door initially i just want to be here because of the looting and then just wanted to stay to make sure everything is safe and back in order tina has been managing for the last week but for four-year-old son left a couple of days ago it is got a lot like he was here and he was giving it all with me and it was just a lot so we need to leave i can only imagine i do how much longer do you think you last i don't know i take one day at a time one day at a time outside of the evacuation zones at the palisades fire efforts to bring people across the checkpoints have been derailed police are now scaling back their fifteen-minute escorts home for victims some of them will wait six seven eight hours and then at the end it got shut down and they were very very frustrated understandably so authorities say it could be at least another week until alzadina residents can come home every day there's a little bit of improvement you know every day it's a little cleaner those who disobeyed law enforcement orders to leave are preparing for what comes next we're gonna be this little area right here we're gonna be here you know we'll die here bronach and ronacal joins me now bronachal last Tuesday when i was there with her urban search rescue team i spoke with the resident who'd stayed um... and she was having trouble getting resupplied things like gasoline that essentially she said that they used to let supplies come across that checkpoint but now they were even letting that come across has that change are able to get gasoline for generators and stuff well i understand at least the people that we spoke to today they're sensing that some of the checkpoints are easing up just a little bit the one that they frequent are allowing nonprofits to come through and bring in gasoline some food some other supplies that are definitely needed they're also allowing people to go and do hand off so if they're deliveries coming they can get some food they can get some supplies that they need as long as they don't go on the other side of that evacuation zone and and innocent tonight these evacuations are getting smaller at both of the fires more people are being let back in but officials are saying that when you do come back it is still dangerous here you need to be prepared to wear an n.95 mask their toxins in the air they are also still conducting search and rescue efforts run a miracle thanks so much appreciate it and the state of the ceasefire and hostage release deal between the girls mass short time goes real is full cabinet signed off on the deal meaning it could go into effect Sunday german diamonds and tell me tonight with more so what what final steps remain before the ceasefire and hostage deal can actually be implemented well there's no question that the full government's approval of the ceasefire agreement was the most important step in the process and it came despite the efforts of too far by government ministers to try and block this ceasefire agreement from actually becoming a reality but now that the government has put it's the approval on this we will have a window of time just over twenty four hours during which time the israeli supreme court will be able to hear petitions appeals against the release of the hundreds of palestinian prisoners set to be released from israeli jails in exchange for those thirty three hostages that process though is largely a formality israeli prime minister the israeli government really do have a lot of leeway here in israel to release these prisoners when it comes to matters of national security like this agreement you previously talked about sunday being the first day that uh... that hostages might be released is that still the case and is a clear who is going to be released on initially yet that uh...
sunday is indeed the date when we expect the ceasefire agreement to go into place meaning both ones are expected to go silence as it were that will happen on sunday and then at some point most likely as early as sunday afternoon you will see three israeli hostages emerging from the gaza strip if everything goes well we don't know their exact identities but we do know that they will be three female civilian hostages being held by hamas who have been held by hamas for more than fifteen months now and then we will get into the next six weeks of the ceasefire during which time we will see uh... is a batch of israeli hostages being released every single week and of course inside of gaza you will see the entry of much needed humanitarian aid and finally after fifteen months of relentless bombardment that the people of gaza have faced they will finally get a reprieve we are also learning a little bit more about the identities of the other thirty uh... three of all together three to thirty three israeli hostages set to be uh... released we know that there are two americans american israeli citizens among those set to be released but there are still some unknowns the majority of these hostages are expected to emerge from gaza alive but still some questions about exactly how many will be dead and what's known about the palestinian prisoners released from israeli presents well and as we actually just got the number the total number and a list of the prisoners are set to be released over the course of the six week agreement seven hundred and thirty five palestinian prisoners set to be released from israeli jails according to the israeli ministry of justice we will see ninety five of those you release of this coming sunday in exchange for those three israeli civilian hostages now of those were set to be released on sunday it really is a mix some convicted of more serious offenses uh...
such as attempted murder of the majority it would seem are convicted of much less serious crimes or facing administrative attention meaning that they haven't yet been tried or convicted for their crimes but when you get down the line further into this hostage agreement there are going to be dozens of palestinians who have been convicted and sentenced to life sentences in israeli prisons uh... some of them for uh... uh... killing israelis who have been convicted of killing israelis and it is those individuals who you will see these petitions in particular to try and block up their uh...

of money oh acutely aware of it you have to be acutely aware you did every year of her twenty eight years as an educator here blincoln ship fought for every dollar for her kids how much of this room is funded the entire room a third of all of bell county kentucky school district funding in twenty twenty one came from federal sources so this district is listening as incoming president donald trump pledges this one of the thing i'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the department of education in washington d c and sending all education and education work in the it's back to the states what exactly that means for a state like kentucky is unclear trump won the state in bell county eighty four percent voted for trump yet it deeply relies on federal funding and that's not unusual a cn analysis found the fifteen states that most rely on federal funding for its public schools in twenty twenty two all voted for trump and i voted for president rump and you're an educator you didn't vote for trump eliminating federal funds now i did not vote for that i voted for president president trump to make america first again and to improve our lives do you believe that he would cut funding for the county i would say in my heart absolutely not i do not think that's what the voters want if we have federal cuts then that's going to be a good classroom sizes i would lose teachers first and foremost it's devastating for this school in particular if these cuts happen it'll be awful it'll be awful for our kids missus goodnight as her fourth and fifth graders call her grew up in bell county her son is a third grader here they're not going to be as prepared in their adult lives just because they're here at the latches and they don't deserve it they deserve it just as much as anybody else my first position was part-time custodian in the district this superintendent is still doing multiple jobs taking on paying invoices and answering the district's phones just so we can save money on administrative help and more money to his classrooms i don't think that anyone in our county wants to pick our school funding i don't i don't think anyone voted for that do you mind if i ask who you voted for in the election i voted for don't trump and i voted against amendment to amendment to so-called school choice would have allowed kentucky tax dollars to go to non-public schools but it failed overwhelmingly in kentucky even though president trump supports the policy the education of our students is is the most important thing to me that that's my job i don't think that either my votes will harm our students overall jessica winkler mom of three in school district says there's a simple reason why voters choose this path the biggest thing to understand is that i feel like the people of this community prioritize conservative values and they vote there first would you say to anyone who has a vote on whether or not federal dollars come to bel county to a lot of people this is simply a political issue or an issue of economy but to small-town america it's about providing whether impoverished or not a group of kids to be successful at the next level it's way more than just just a political issue it's an issue of community and he was a lot of us now do we know exactly what the plan is for school funding under the new administration we don't have exact details of this yet we're really cleaning this from what trump and his allies have said he put it on his transition page of one of his priorities was eliminating the part of education we've heard it over and over again at the campaign rallies and sending that money that federal money to the states so that's the plan but we don't know anderson is it's going to be a day one priority and what that exactly means to the students of the county there's more details in the project twenty five absolutely and and really that's where we get more the shades of the details and part of the reason why we put so much weight into this anderson is because the author one of the authors of project twenty five is Russell vote he trump has nominated him to lead the omb and so with those words of details we're getting from that project twenty five note is to eliminate title one fund so critical to the kids of bel county and so you know you've heard from the superintendent you hear that principle what their message is to trump is they back the conservative principles what they do not want is to hurt the children who live in the heart of trump country and a lot of things very much to come very intense joins us help run my knowledge of football which is minimal and the end of the playoffs which continue this weekend or back for some of the washington d c area the inauguration may
