And so ultimately, we'll see what goes down here. Zelensky spoke with reporters yesterday. Recently, Trump spoke with Zelensky. Trump says, again, Zelensky appears to be more open to negotiations here, but it takes two to tango. Hence the message for Putin.
Yeah. In particular, the focus there, Jill, beyond the government is going to be higher education. Because remember, student loan programs is a number. There's a lot of funding that comes to education at all levels, but in particular, higher education through the federal government. So they're looking to hit institutions that have endowments of over a billion dollars for education.
compliance here. And so they have a couple months to figure it out, identify state and local educational institutions that receive federal funds and grants who participate in the student loan program here. So that's going to be a focus here. This comes all in that aftermath of that 2023 Supreme Court ruling we told you about that overturned affirmative action in college admissions.
And that has been interpreted, extrapolated out by a number of organizations that potentially have more far-reaching ramifications for any race-based program, race-based hiring program. And you have seen companies in the last year, Meta, McDonald's, Walmart, all ending their DEI programs here partially due to their legal concerns about that Supreme Court ruling.
And as you mentioned, completely different philosophy. From the Biden administration, they came in looking to reverse decades of systemic inequity, make the federal government look more like America. Trump says this socially engineers race and gender into public life.
We're hearing from people, Jill, who were involved in planning Black History Month events and other events in the coming months here who are canceling those or fear that they have to cancel those because of what it might mean for their jobs. A lot of these DEI programs came out of the Black Lives Matter movement, the killing of George Floyd.
And there is acknowledgement, both in the corporate sector and the government sector, that some of these DEI programs, not as effective as some had hoped, that some had gone too far, that some of the companies that are brought in here to do DEI are not really accomplishing their goals.
At the same time, there is a feeling among some that some aspect of this is a necessity, but it really boils down to the debate.
that's being had societally in this election in the government about equity inequality those who advocate for equality which is equal treatment of everyone versus those who believe in dei equity equity as in elevating the needs of minorities to get to equality so uh in equity versus equality fight continues here.
We did see that Trump signed an executive order that we mentioned declaring there are only two genders that has its own ramifications here. But when it goes to all the things Trump is up to, this has been key as he looks to remake the workforce here and knock out a lot of the priorities and programming that has been implemented over the course of the past few years under Biden.
A lot here, Jill, both the DEI stuff that we were talking about, this stuff, there's going to be a lot of lawsuits here, back and forth, when it comes to these changes and what they mean. And so look for a variety of those cases. They're probably already being filed as we record this.
This is a pretty large high school, Antioch High School, home to approximately 2,000 students from grades 9 through 12 there, about 10 miles southeast of downtown there in Nashville.
It definitely brought back memories of that Covenant school shooting that took place less than two years ago, where three 9-year-old children and three adults were killed at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville. It led to a huge debate in regards to guns in the state.
Notably, one of the most prominent people in that debate, one of the three state reps that became controversial, one of whom was booted, Justin Jones. His district includes parts of Nashville. He says the fear reverberating around the Antioch and Nashville communities today is a chilling reminder of the human cost of inaction and the senseless tragedy of gun violence.
Gun violence perpetuated by leaders who have prioritized firearms and the profits of the gun industry over the lives of our students. A reminder that Republicans there in Tennessee have a super majority in the state legislature. So not much has been done when it comes to gun reform efforts in the state. But this certainly will revive the debate there.
So the deal continues this Saturday. Hamas has confirmed that four Israeli female hostages will be freed in exchange for what is likely to be based on the numbers. We've seen more than 100 prisoners that we haven't gotten the hard numbers yet from the Israelis on their side. Now, we don't have the names of the four women who will be released. after more than 470 days in captivity.
We'll await those details here. Still, this next stage, as you mentioned, Jill, is going to be much more challenging as Hamas rashes up the demands on how many prisoners they're going to be looking for for every individual hostage that's left. The hostages that are left are mainly men of fighting age, soldiers.
So typically, Hamas asks for even more, including senior leaders of the terror group, in exchange for them, at least they have in the past. Now, how this is all going to go down and continue is super important to Trump here, though even he's acknowledged that he's not confident that all of this will be upheld.
Notably, Jill, there was a conversation in the last 24 hours, the first foreign leader to hold a phone call with Donald Trump. The Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. Now, Trump has expressed a desire here for the Abraham Accords, the deal that was signed between Israel and several Arab countries, creating peace there. This is Bahrain, UAE, Morocco, several others.
He wants to expand that to Saudi Arabia, which is the big prize here, the home of Islam and the home of Judaism. can sign a deal here in the Middle East. Now, Salman is looking for certain guarantees for the Palestinians as part of that deal, but still notable that Trump held this conversation. There's a huge military deal probably in the offing here between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia as well.
