Hi, this is Mo Schwanunu, the Mo from Mo News. You might be familiar with us from our Instagram account or our daily podcast. I'm a longtime TV news producer who launched an independent news brand just a couple of years ago. As you know, Nicole is on maternity leave. So this week, my co-host Jill and I have been guest hosting Money Rehab and sharing fresh episodes each day of Mo News.
Today's episode is the last of our week of guest hosting. But if you've liked what you've heard, subscribe to Mo News wherever you get your podcasts. Here's today's episode of Mo News. Hey, everybody. It is Thursday, January 23rd. You're listening to the Mo News Podcast. I'm Moshe Wanunu.
And we read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to. Jill, with that old expression that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Fun story I was reading about out of Greece. where somebody apparently threw away a statue, a headless statue that they thought was just, you know, garbage, put in a garbage bag in the city of Saloniki.
It turns out a resident was walking by and was like, this might be worth something, this headless statue. It turns out the statue, 31-inch statue, so just a couple feet tall, is 2,000 years old. You got to watch out there, I guess, especially in Greece. If you find something in your backyard,
something kind of sitting around you might be sitting on like ancient treasure even if it is a headless statue apparently uh police have an open investigation they talked to the person who threw it away they have not been charged with anything nonetheless this is from the roman era in greece so just a heads up don't quickly well i guess in greece this is especially important but even here in the us you might be sitting on something valuable as you clean out your garage
Be careful what you throw out. I mean, listen, you're not going to have millennia old stuff in the backyard on Long Island or anywhere else, but you might have something that's really valuable from 100 or a couple hundred years ago, you know, here in American historical terms.
You need to go, well, I don't know what's left there, but you probably should go do inventory ASAP, Jill, before mom gets rid of some more stuff.
making a lot of changes very quickly there as his team has been taking over.
A lot of pain right now at some of the legacy media companies.
Made it harder to steal someone's password and raising the price there over at Netflix.
Your clue today of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world. She walks into mine.
This comes, Jill, as the war is still extremely deadly. Ukraine claiming that Putin's forces suffered nearly 2,000 casualties in a single day. It would be the worst casualty total in 24 hours since the war began. There's a lot of estimates going around. In fact, Trump
sort of it appears has talked about some classified numbers several hundred thousand ukrainians and russians killed in this war uh waiting on confirmation on that nonetheless trump not surprisingly taking a very different approach from biden here direct engagement of vladimir putin that's something biden was not up to he says he actually wants to meet with vladimir putin here and as you mentioned he took a harder line there saying we're gonna you know we can do this hard vlad he had said earlier in the week that zielinski appeared to be more open to a deal than putin
So he's pushing back on Putin here. The significant change, though, is that as far as the Biden administration was concerned, it was about Ukraine winning, even if it was totally unrealistic that they would win. They've been basically along the same battle lines for three years now. But the West and the U.S., the strategy was to basically bleed Russia out.
And in talking to NATO officials, they found that to be extremely successful, that this has really been a suck for for Putin, that he's reliant on some technologies and weapons from the 1950s, on the Iranians, on the North Koreans. Nonetheless, the Trump approach is different, not to basically have this war go on in perpetuity here, but to end it.
He sees himself as a dealmaker, looking for talks here between Zelensky and Putin. Now, what's unclear is what sort of deal he can come to here. Remember, Putin claims that all of Ukraine is his. He occupies 20% of Ukraine. He's reluctant to walk back on any of that territory, in particular, these regions he's taken over that are very Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine.
And then you have Zelensky, who doesn't want to give up an inch of territory here, but is probably willing to if he gets security guarantees, like he gets to be part of NATO, which means in the future, if Putin tries to invade Ukraine again and take even more territory, NATO would come to bail him out because he'd be part of the alliance.
Now, that's not something Trump is keen to do either, and certainly not something Putin would allow. So what is going to be the magic deal here? What's going to be the compromise here? as he tries to apply pressure on both the Ukrainians by giving them less in the way of weaponry and aid, but then also put pressure on the Russians by promising tariffs, sanctions, and other threats.
What is rhetoric here? What's the final deal going to look like? In terms of these economic sanctions on Russia, particularly tariffs, in the first 11 months of last year, the U.S. imported less than $3 billion worth of Russian goods. That's one tenth of one percent of U.S. imports coming from Russia. Now, that is down significantly over the last couple of years since Russia first invaded Ukraine.
So it's not clear how much of an impact tariffs and these other measures would have on Russia here. Now, remember, Putin and Trump have a unique relationship, interesting relationship. According to Bob Woodward reporting, they spoke a number of times while Trump was out of office here. Putin has congratulated Trump for his victory. He says he wants long term peace. But what are the terms?
