Over the weekend, the long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza began with Hamas releasing three female hostages. Now back with their families after 15 months in exchange, Israel released 90 Palestinian prisoners. Back here in the U.S. and back to politics, Donald Trump debuted a new crypto meme coin on Friday ahead of the inauguration, raking in billions of dollars and signaling his pro-crypto agenda.
But there are some concerns.
Plus, why are food and grocery prices rising again?
And CNN ordered to pay millions of dollars after losing a defamation trial related to a 2021 story about evacuations in Afghanistan. Finally, a look at the history of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. And Moshe is on this day in history.
All right. With that, let's get to the news. President-elect Donald Trump set to be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States today at 12 p.m. Eastern time. He will be the first president to return to office after losing reelection since Grover Cleveland in 1893. Cleveland was our 22nd and 24th president. Trump is our 45th and 47th.
Notably, the inauguration will be held indoors at the Capitol Rotunda because of the expected freezing temperatures. That is a first since 1985 when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated for the second time. It is set to be the coldest inauguration day in 40 years. The temperature at noon is expected to be in the low 20s, but feel like the single digits.
Reagan's was seven degrees with a wind chill of below zero yesterday. Moshe, I remember it was also a bitter cold when President Obama was inaugurated for the first time. You're in D.C. How does it feel?
Right. All week, Trump supporters have been vying for a spot. But as you're mentioning, there's just not a lot of room. So consider who we know will be there. Melania Trump.
OK, check. The president elects five children, their spouses, his grandchildren. They're all expected to attend.
Right. Then there are the nine Supreme Court justices. You've got military leaders, former presidents and their spouses, cabinet nominees, visiting dignitaries and 535 members of Congress. They're not all getting in. Although some Democrats are set to skip and we know Michelle Obama not going to be there. So that's right. That leaves room for another.
Tesla and ex-owner Elon Musk, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, TikTok CEO Shouze Chu, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman were originally invited to sit on the dais when the ceremony was outside. Unclear, though, if they'll get the rotunda invite.
I think they're all getting in.
How do you go from an invite to sit on the dais to not even get into the room?
Yeah, my only prediction is that they're going to be in the room.
Meanwhile, Capital One Arena will be open for a live viewing of the event and to host the presidential parade. Trump is set to join there after he is sworn in. By the way, some extra imagery to look for prior to the ceremony. At 9.40 a.m. Eastern Time, Donald and Melania Trump set to arrive at the White House for a tea and coffee reception hosted by the Bidens.
It will be a moment that was not afforded to Biden when he took the oath of office four years ago as Trump decided to break with tradition and not stick around. At 10.25 a.m. Eastern, the Bidens and Trumps will travel together to the Capitol for the inauguration ceremony inside of the Capitol Rotunda.
So, Moshe, you're there. Give us a little behind the scenes. Like, what's the vibe check in D.C.
And Moshe, you also had a chance to see Speaker Johnson during a visit to the Capitol. What did he have to say?
Yeah, as for more on the entertainment today, Carrie Underwood said to sing America the Beautiful. Opera singer Christopher Macchio will perform the national anthem at the inauguration. Tonight, the inaugural ball will see performances by Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Parker McCollum, Gavin DeGraw and the Village People.
In case you're not familiar, the Village People, the band behind Trump favorite YMCA.
