Hi, this is Mo Schwanunu, the Mo from Mo News, a longtime TV news producer who launched Mo News, that independent news brand you may have heard of.
Jill, we also like to say that we read the news so you don't have to and bring it to you in a conversational way, telling you the news like you would get from a friend. Nicole and I actually go way back. You may remember I've been a guest on Nicole's show several times on this podcast. She's appeared on our podcast.
We go back to our traditional journalism days before we entered the digital journalism world here. So we're thrilled at the opportunity to guest host Money Rehab this week while Nicole is on maternity leave.
Hey everybody, it is Monday, January 20th. You're listening to the Mo News Podcast. I'm Mo Schwanunu.
And we read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to on this Inauguration Day 2025, also Martin Luther King Day here in the US. Not your typical MLK weekend, though. Lots of news, lots of news today. Jill, we will begin the day with one president and end the day with another president.
Yeah. I mean, I rarely take a weekend off for the premium folks, but. I will say some of these holidays quieter than others, some busier than others. Jill, we were tracking three major stories this weekend, the presidential transition, the TikTok outage heard around the world for about 16 hours there. We'll talk about it.
And then, of course, the hostage release or the beginning of the hostage release and the beginning of the ceasefire in the Middle East. Though I should note, I am in Washington tracking it all. I made my way down here this weekend. And... Jill will be watching what is an atypical, for many reasons, inauguration today as one of the headlines that popped over the weekend.
The outdoor ceremony, the traditional outdoor ceremony has been canceled due to the weather. Trump, for the first time since the mid 80s, since Reagan, too, will be taking the oath of office inside the U.S. Capitol.
Your long national nightmare is over, kids. Jill, we got some messages Saturday night from some members of the Mo News Committee who are like, my teenager is in their room crying right now. And I said, listen, at worst, this is Monday or Tuesday. It turned out this thing lasted like 16 hours. We'll tell you what was behind it and what's next.
A lot of concerns. We'll lay them out.
Sorry to make you report that one, Jill.
We'll look at a little inauguration history for you.
A little bit of trivia for you, everyone. There's been 45 presidents. Two of them, though, carry those multiple labels.
So this will be my fifth inauguration in person. I was actually at that first Obama inauguration. We'll see how cold it gets. Right now, the latest projections are a high of 25 degrees, a low around 12. But again, there will be the windchill. So windchill that feels like temperature will be somewhere between 7 and 15 degrees.
Nonetheless, about the Obama 09 numbers, but Trump made the call to move it inside. It does have some wondering whether there might have been a security conversation.
component here that they're not telling us about officially again they moved it in because it's cold uh and they don't want any uh frostbite or medical issues for the hundred thousand plus uh that would have been in the crowd several hundred you know we we won't know some people due to the fact that they already made this call on Friday uh canceled their trip to Washington so we'll never have a sense of what the full crowd size was going to be uh notably Jill we would find out later
Again, that Obama 09 inauguration was held outdoors in 09. But that one actually, in addition to the cold temps that will be similar to today, also had a terror threat. We would find out years later turned out to be a false alarm.
But they were so serious about the terror threat in 09 that Obama actually had a note in his jacket on how to direct people should there have been an explosion or some sort of attack on the National Mall. This one moved preemptively inside. They like the connection in talking to Trump folks to the second Reagan inaugural. You know, he likes that historical analogy there.
We'll be watching the proceedings all day on our Instagram thread. I'll try to pop up live as I can. I won't be out on the mall. No one else will be out there. but I'll be monitoring it from indoors like the rest of you. Also, it's being moved to the Capitol Rotunda, the Capitol Rotunda inside the Capitol. Those tickets, though, reserved for only the most important people.
Jill, we're going from a situation where we were going to have, we're going to see thousands of people seated, tens of thousands of more standing, everyone out there on that main platform, members of Congress and the cabinet and the Supreme Court and former presidents inside the Rotunda. They can fit a couple hundred people. I got a sneak peek there yesterday. 250 seats in the rotunda.
