I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab.
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.
And I'm Jill Wagner, a longtime journalist and TV anchor. And we are the hosts of Mo News, a daily nonpartisan podcast where we break down the news headlines and bring you just the facts.
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.
Each day we'll be sharing the latest episode of Mo News right here in the Money Rehab feed. So you get the news you need to know. Here is today's episode.
Hey everybody, it is Monday, January 20th. You're listening to the Mo News Podcast. I'm Mo Schwanunu.
And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.
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, it's a holiday weekend. So if you were surprised to see us pop up in your feed, because normally we do take these federal holidays off. We had to make an exception because it is a big news day.
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.
All right, so that gets us to our top story. Let's get to the headlines here. The big story today, Donald Trump will officially become the 47th president of the United States this afternoon. His inauguration was moved, as most just mentioned, indoors because of freezing temperatures expected in Washington, D.C. We're going to have a look at what to expect from his first day in office. Plus, TikTok went dark and then it came back. The company restored service after less than a day, giving thanks to Donald Trump in a message to all of its users.
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.
