Tommy Vietor

On today's show, it's a huge moment for the world as the Israeli hostages come home and a ceasefire begins in Gaza.

We'll explain how this deal happened and what comes next.

Then we got some new court rulings on Trump's invasion of America's cities, a crackdown on free speech at the Pentagon.

And of course, we are still stuck in a government shutdown.

But there are some key dates coming up that might force action.

Finally, Lovett catches up with Leah Greenberg from Indivisible, one of the organizations helping to organize the No King's Day protests this weekend, and not unrelatedly, one of the groups being targeted by the Trump administration as a domestic terror front.

It's getting to be a long list, huh?

Wild.

Long list of domestic enemies.

Yeah, just encouraging people to care about what's happening and get involved.

But let's start with the latest from the Middle East.

We were recording this on Monday afternoon at about 3.30 Pacific time.

Overnight, all 20 of the living Israeli hostages came home, as did the remains of four of the deceased Israeli hostages.

Nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners were released by Israel.

That breaks down to about 1,700 people who were picked up

in Gaza since October 7th and held there without charges, and about 250 others who were serving prison sentences, including for violent attacks on Israeli citizens.

Trump arrived in Israel on Monday to a hero's welcome.

He gave a speech at the Knesset.

It was a mix of justifiable celebration and then the usual hyperbole and bullshit.

Let's listen to an excerpt.
