Welcome back to the Loopcast. Today, joined by Erica and Josh. We've received a barrage of news

leading into the presidential inauguration coming in on Monday. Topics include Biden's farewell message,

ceasefire deal, rapid fire confirmation hearings. I got some of the best clips for you guys here.

And then even a little TikTok ban, little Mel Gibson. There's a lot coming up here. But I'd like to
