what's up lovely People Pumped to be
back here with you it's my daughter's
fall break this week so I took a couple
of days too to spend some quality time
with the babies but baby I'm back ready
to rock It's Friday rise up before we go
creeping into the weekend let's end this
week strong we start with the latest
news from Washington earlier this month
the US House of Representatives voted to
remove Republican Kevin McCarthy from
the top leadership position as Speaker
of the House in an historic vote the
movement to remove him was led by a
small group of conservatives and was
initiated by representative Matt Gates
of Florida Gates questioned the former
speaker's truthfulness his ability to
keep promises as well as his work across
the aisle with Democrats to prevent a
government shutdown for his part the
former speaker has said he does not
regret his actions and that quote doing
the right thing isn't always easy but it
is necessary unquote the house now needs
to elect a new speaker in the meantime
Representative Patrick McKenry of North
Carolina is the interim speaker and he
is operating with limited power so what
happens next well on Wednesday House
Republicans nominated Representative
Steve scalise as their nominee for the
next speaker but as of the recording of
this show the Louisiana Republican lacks
the votes needed to win the gavl and
some Republicans are worried that scales
is facing a tough road to becoming
speaker due to opposition within the
ranks until a new speaker is elected the
house remains effectively at a
standstill a situation that has taken on
new urgency amid Israel's war with Hamas
I want to thank my house Republican
colleagues for just designating me as
the speaker Representative Steve scalise
is the GOP nominee for Speaker of the
House his former opponent is endorsing
him do we need a speaker and Steve is
the guy for that but that's not the end
of the story it is unlikely that we will
seat a speaker today or this week for
that matter scalise needs 2117 votes to
become speaker and some Republicans say
they won't support him representative
Thomas Massie says he knows at least 20
such people for now the house is
effectively paralyzed with a key Ally at
War we need to support Israel right away
domestic matters need attention too a
new report from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics looks at wholesale prices and
shows they've been on the rise for 3
months in a row that leaves businesses
grappling with Rising costs Congress
can't magically stop inflation but it
can stop a government shutdown from
making things worse that requires
passing a funding plan but but without a
house Speaker we cannot provide a dollar
we can't take care of Americans we
cannot take care of Ukraine and we
surely can't take care of Israelis I'm
Amy Kylie reporting Pop Quiz hot shot
it's our 10-second trivia do you
remember what type of solar eclipse
results in a ring of fire around the
Moon total annular Johnny Cash or
partial if you said annular put your
hands up during an annular solar eclipse
the moon appears small smaller than the
Sun and looks like a dark disc inside a
brighter
disc as we mentioned earlier in the week
a rare Cosmic occurrence known as an
annular solar eclipse is happening
Saturday the 14th for millions of people
located in the Western Hemisphere it's
set to start around 8:05 a.m. Pacific
Time on the west coast of the US and it
will end for the US in Texas at 1:33
p.m. central Time but don't pull out
your sunglasses if you want to see it
because they are not strong enough
enough to protect your eyes astronomers
are encouraging everyone to use
certified eclipse glasses or handheld
solar viewers now lots of folks are just
as excited for another awesome
phenomenon set to occur in about 6
months time on April 8th that's when
there will be a total solar eclipse
Crossing North America portions of the
US will experience a complete blockage
of the sun all right who thinks they're
good at multitasking for example can you
you know Pat the top of your head and
rub your belly in a circle like this
good yes can you do it I have a tougher
one how about circle on the top of your
head while brushing your teeth back and
forth can you do that one that's tough
ultimate multitasking anyhow it turns
out that many studies suggest most of us
aren't nearly as good as we might think
we are when it comes to doing multiple
things at once research shows that only
2% of the population have the genetic
gift of super multitasking and in a
world where more and more things demand
our attention mention that can be
problematic CNN's Dr Sanjay Gupta spoke
with a professor about the effects of
multitasking as well as some tips on how
to manage our time and ability to
focus I think there's this idea that you
show up to the office or your desk and
you're expected to be head down and
super productive for 8 hours straight or
more but Professor Mark says that is not
how we humans really operate Decades of
research in the laboratory show that
when people are shifting their attention
fast which essentially is
multitasking It's associated with higher
stress another consequence is that we
know that people make more errors one
last consequences it takes people longer
to do something the idea of multitasking
leading to happy
efficiency is is not true you're neither
more efficient nor are you more happy
you're more stressed it sounds like but
here's the problem multitasking is such
a huge part of how we're all expected to
work and live these days it becomes a
necessity so what to do what can people
do to help them create a more attentive
brain so many things we do on our
devices are automatic we see the image
of our phone and we grab it without
thinking we see an email notification we
immediately switch to email the idea is
is to become aware of these unconscious
actions to raise them to a conscious
awareness we can form a plan for example
okay I'm going to work 20 more minutes
on this or I'm going to work through to
the end of this chapter and then I'm
going to take a break another technique
is to practice forethought what makes
the most sense to me is to imagine my
future self at the end of the day so
where do I want to be at 700 p.m. I want
to be relaxing the more concrete of a
visualization we can have about our
future self the better we are able to
have control over our attention
currently the other thing is that we
need to reframe how we think about
scheduling our day being proactive and
designing the tasks that you have to do
based on what your own personal rhythm
is for when you're at your best at your
Peak focus and save those times for
doing those tasks that require the
hardest work and the most creative
