Summary

Jen Psaki outlines the latest updates in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire following the release of three female Israeli hostages. Jen is joined by White House Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer to preview the six-week implementation plan for the ceasefire, including when to expect the release of Americans held by Hamas. Next, Jen explains why Trump's decision to hold his inauguration inside - giving indoor seats to his billionaire friends while stiffing regular people who spent thousands to see him - is a perfect metaphor for what the next four years of his presidency will look like. Then, Jen shares her interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom where he reacts to calls from GOP leaders to condition wildfire aid to the state, explaining why residents need "support, not rhetoric." Later, Jen shares the latest NBC reporting on Trump's mass deportation plans that he says will start "very quickly" in sanctuary cities including Chicago. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul joins the show to discuss what Trump can actually accomplish and how state officials plan to ensure Trump's plans comply with the law. Finally, Jen breaks down the dangers posed by Trump's fast-forming oligarchy of tech billionaires.
