Hello everyone and thank you for giving
us 10 minutes of your time
my name is Carl Azuz. The world's largest
economy is our first topic this tuesday
the u.s government recently reported
that 140
000 jobs were lost in the month of
december for perspective
the economy gained 654 000 jobs in
october
and 336 000 in november and economists
had expected that 50
000 jobs would have been added last
month but the government says an
increase in coronavirus cases
and the efforts to contain the pandemic
which include restrictions on
restaurants and bars
contributed to the job losses not every
industry took a hit
while the leisure and hospitality
industry has been worst affected
the retail industry added jobs last
month so the losses weren't spread
evenly
as far as the unemployment rate goes
this is the percentage of american
workers who don't have a job
the government says it stayed at 6.7
percent from november to december
a strong economy benefits from a lower
unemployment rate
america's got close to 15 percent in
april when many businesses were shut
downbut it had been improving since then
getting lower every month until december
so is there any good news in this well
some analysts believe that economic
stimulus packages passed by the trump
administration and expected from the
biden administration will help
though they do increase the national
debt and if america's health situation
improves with new coronavirus treatments
or vaccines
economists expect this spring and summer
to be good for the jobs picture
ten-second trivia the most recent
amendment to the u.s constitution deals
with what topic
voting age presidential succession
lawmakers pay or pull taxes
the 27th amendment which delays
congressional pay raises until after the
next election was ratified in 1992
[Music]
but it's an amendment ratified in 1967
that's our next subject today
for years political opponents of u.s
president donald trump have been
discussing the 25th amendment
and their calls have grown louder in the
wake of the violence carried out by some
of president trump's supporters
at the u.s capitol building last week
section one of the 25th amendment begins
simply with the words
in case of the removal of the president
from office or of his death or
resignation
the vice president shall become
president but cnn's john avalon explains
how the amendment and the debate around
it get a lot more complicated from there
the text is relatively recent born right
after john f kennedy died
thought up by members of administration
including his brother bobby who
shuddered to think what might have
happenedhad the president been only
incapacitated in dallas
in fact as recently as 1965 this nation
had no real plan for what to do if a
president couldn't discharge his duties
the issue first came up way back in 1841
when william henry harrison died just a
month after taking office
no one really knew what to call vice
president john tyler critics simply
called him
your accidency four decades later
president james garfield
was shot and lingered incapacitated for
more than two months
afraid of causing a constitutional
crisis vice president chester a arthur
of the really great styburns avoided
doing anything presidential and the
government ground to a halt
in 1919 president woodrow wilson had a
stroke and his second wife
edith essentially ran the country for 18
months
by that point the 25th amendment was
long overdue but it took the kennedy
assassination to get it written
and it didn't get used by president for
another two decades when president
reagan had a 1985 surgery but it got its
first real test two years later
that's when incoming reagan chief of
staff howard baker was urged to consider
itafter reports that reagan was in mental
decline baker agreed to observe the
president for deficiencies and
when he didn't find any the 25th
amendment was never mentioned again in
the reagan white house
it's been invoked just twice more both
by george w bush for colonoscopies and
that'sreally been it so the question we're
confronting today is whether the 25th
amendmentcould be used to remove a president who
some feel is quote
detrimental to the health of our
republic remember the amendment was
written primarily to address
physical incapacity but it does include
a section
never used on removing a president
deemed unfit
and that section reads like a rube
goldberg machine basically it goes like
thisthe vice president along with the
majority of the cabinet can send a
letter to the president pro-tempore of
the senate and the speaker of the house
and then as soon as that letter is
received bam the president is out
the vice president becomes the acting
president but not so fast
the president can then write his own
letter and send it back to congress
saying he's feeling perfectly fine after
which the vice president and a majority
of the cabinet
still want him gone they have to send
another letter
now once that happens within three weeks
two-thirds of congress must vote to
declare the president unfit
otherwise he becomes president again and
the vp goes back to his old job but
presumably not for long democrats in the
house of representatives have been
pushing for vice president mike pence to
invoke the 25th amendment against
president trump
analysts say it's unlikely that either
the vice president or the president's
cabinet will support that move
but monday house democrats also
introduced an article of impeachment
that formally charges
president trump with quote incitement of
insurrection
it concerns the capital riots and the
house plans to vote in the charge later
this week
republicans in the chamber have urged
democrats not to move forward concerning
impeachmentsaying it would further divide the
country at a time when president trump
and president-elect joe biden are
calling for unity

animals on the job the u.s government
defines a service dog
as an animal that's individually trained
to do work or perform tasks for a person
with a disability
the process of raising and training one
of these dogs is complex and costs
roughly twenty five
thousand dollars but thanks to some
generous volunteers in northern
california
part of some service dog's
transportation comes free
there's a lot of stuff unsettled even
today with covid and
and everything else going on in the
world and so
it's really nice to be able to use our
aircraft
to make lives better for people my name
is josh hochberg
and i live in sonoma county california
in santa rosa and i own a company called
sonoma jet center
canon companions for independence is an
awesome local organization
actually it's a national organization
headquartered in
santa rosa california canada companions
raises
highly trained service puppies
that can do or service dogs that can
help people lead
independent lives back when coveted
started
they no longer could use the airlines
and so they started relying on
private aircraft to take the dogs where
they needed to go
and so some friends of mine and i uh
volunteered all the travel all the
flights all the fuel
is all donated by us and volunteered
to transport the dogs all around the
country a
private pilot flew 14 puppies from
california
all the way to colorado just for us well
i'm rachel and
i went to texas tech university and
that's where i found out about
canine companions for independence and
i've been on the waitlist for about
eight months for this little puppy
blossom
i'll have her for about 14 to 16 months
and we'll just
train her and give her basic obedience
and house manners and
socialization and then she goes to
professional training
for six months and then hopefully she'll
be placed as a service dog
they've all toileted they get trained to
do all sorts of
specialized tasks say somebody has
trouble opening doors
well the dogs can be trained to open the
doors for the people so
what the dogs really do is they help
people to lead independent lives
that's a report that's got tongues and
tails wagging taking flight turns
beagles into eagles
air deals into air mail it gives new
facets to bassets
transportation to transylvanians it
basically brings a whole newfound land
of possibilities turning every terrier
into a sky
terrier and every breed into a working
one
that's about all the puns i could work
