Made it harder to steal someone's password and raising the price there over at Netflix. And Moshe's on the stay in history. 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 glad 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. 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 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 1% 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?
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, there's 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 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 goes down to, boils down to the debate.
that's being had societally in this election in the government about equity and equality 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 inequity 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.
