I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab.
And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.
I don't think you're at that risk on Long Island as much, but be careful what you throw out, right?
my mom loves to throw things out okay so she's like the opposite of a hoarder and she still lives in my childhood home and so i was there over the summer and i'm looking at the street where all the garbage is and just like plain not even wrapped in anything were my favorite cups like in the shape of an ice cream cone and i'm like what are you doing how can you throw those out and i grabbed them i brought them back into the house and now they're my daughter's favorite cups
I was like, please consult me before you clean out the house. All right, to the news here. Let's start, as we have all week, with politics. We're getting an idea of how Donald Trump plans to end the war in Ukraine. But will it work? Plus, the White House orders government DEI employees to be placed on leave as a major shift in the federal workplace takes effect.
Another day and tragically another school shooting in America, this time in Nashville, the site of a different school shooting last year. Overseas, the ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas appears to be holding. Negotiations are starting on phase two of the deal ahead of schedule. Prince Harry has settled a lawsuit with Rupert Murdoch's News Group newspapers.
CNN reportedly laying off hundreds of employees as its post-inauguration transformation begins.
And Netflix hiking prices as it adds subscribers and sees wins with its live sports strategy.
And Moshe's on the stay in history.
Okay, let's start with politics. President Trump said during the campaign that he could stop the Russia-Ukraine war in just 24 hours. Well, no one really believed that deadline. Even his own officials said they probably needed 100 days to get talks in motion. Nonetheless, on Wednesday, he may have taken the first step toward that goal to end the war.
So he called out Vladimir Putin by name, writing on his true social platform that he would impose high levels of sanctions on Russia and tariffs on imports from there if the country did not reach a settlement to end its nearly three-year-old war against Ukraine.
He wrote, quote, If we don't make a deal and soon I have no other choice but to put high levels of taxes, tariffs and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States and various other participating countries. Let's get this war, which never would have started if I were president, over with. We can do it the easy way or the hard way. And the easy way is always better.
He then wrote, It is time to, in all caps, make a deal. No more lives should be lost. Most Trump up until now hadn't said how he would end the war, which started in February of 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. It is now, though, looking like he'll be trying to use economic pressure. But the question is whether this will actually be effective.
And now to a major change when it comes to the federal workplace. As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, all federal officials overseeing diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, efforts were placed on paid administrative leave. Department and agency heads were given the instructions on Tuesday evening, saying that they should prepare for workforce reductions by the end of January.
Agencies were also ordered to remove DEI-related language and advertisements, shut down DEI offices. and question employees about any remaining DEI efforts in disguise through coded language. They went so far as to tell federal employees to report on colleagues who defy orders to a special email account. So Trump's broader stance on DEI initiatives is that they restrict and divide people by race
and actually discriminate against white people rather than promote opportunities, which is different from former President Biden's policies, where he was looking to expand representation, trying to lift up groups that have faced systemic barriers. Biden expanded DEI protections to include broader groups such as pregnant women, military spouses, rural communities and caregivers.
Tuesday's memo from the White House Office of Personnel Management claimed that DEI policies undermine our national unity by discrediting traditional American values like hard work and individual achievement.
And it goes beyond just federal agencies and directs the attorney general within 120 days to submit recommendations for enforcing federal civil rights laws and taking other appropriate measures to encourage the private sector to end illegal discrimination and preferences, including DEI.
And quickly, another change coming to the federal workplace. Donald Trump requiring millions of federal employees to return to the office. He issued an order on Monday instructing all U.S. government departments and agencies in the executive branch to end remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work on a full time basis.
Department heads can give some workers exemptions, but there is likely to be a lot of pushback from federal unions, some of which have remote work written into their contract.
