what's up Superstars I'm Coy wire this
is CNN 10 today it is your CNN 10
especially because one of you helped us
write Today's Show it's your word
Wednesday thank you for submitting a
myriad of words to my Instagram Tik Tock
and X listen up to see if your vocab
word was submitted as the winner winner
chicken dinner let's get this show on
the road we start today with the latest
round of tariffs out of the US president
Donald Trump signing a new executive
order this time imposing a 25% tariff on
All Steel and aluminum Imports into the
states with no exceptions or exemptions
the US gets most of its steel from
Canada Brazil and Mexico with a small
portion of those Imports coming from the
world's largest producer of Steel which
is China on the campaign Trail then
candidate Trump promised to rebuild
America's steel industry American steel
mills produce about three times more
steel than that which is imported here
but the US isn't the same type of
manufacturing focused economy that it
was in the past so much of the tens of
millions of tons of steel and aluminum
it uses every year are imported now
steel is a key component of everything
from consumer goods like cars
refrigerators washing machines power
line Towers pipelines skyscrapers
Bridges roads and all kinds of things
aluminum is also a key metal we find it
also in cars canned goods planes boats
golf clubs Windows Doors crucial
infrastructure like electrical power
lines on and on and holy moly maybe we
should have just named the things for
which these metals are not used now
tariffs could increase the cost of
production for many if not all of these
types of items remember tariffs are a
tax placed on Goods import Ed or
exported from one country to another
foreign companies are not responsible
for paying tariffs so us businesses
would pay the federal government
directly for the cost of the tariffs on
the goods they import so in the end it
will be the consumers most likely those
of us who buy or utilize the
infrastructure in which these metals are
used who will likely have to pay more
companies won't want to cut into their
profits this new tariff comes on top of
a 10% tariff imposed on all Chinese
Imports to the US last week causing
China to retaliate with tariffs of its
own and this is all causing some to
worry of an expanding trade War
President Trump did suspend tariffs on
imports from Mexico and Canada until at
least March
1st pop qu Hot Shot who was the first US
president depicted on a US coin George
Washington Thomas Jefferson Alexander
Hamilton or Abraham
Lincoln if you said Abe Lincoln you're
so money baby he was the first US
president shown on a circulating coin
the penny back in 1909 though George
Washington was our first president he
didn't appear on the quarter until
1932 some news about coins first a
little brain teaser for you what two
coins add up to 26 Cents but one of them
is not a penny go ahead press pause if
you have have to ruminate
discuss okay well if you said a quarter
and a penny you are correct I said one
of them is not a penny the quarter is
not a penny play on words type of brain
teaser I know if you got it well done
now many believe the penny is pesky and
problematic saying that those coins
worth one cent just don't make sense
this week president Donald Trump said he
will order the US Mint to stop
production of the penny mainly because
they CA way more to make than they are
actually worth it to store but does it
really make sense to get rid of the
penny many others feel it does not our
Brian Todd lays out some of the pros and
cons of eliminating our iconic 1-cent
coin to some of us they're a comfort
jingling in the pocket there if we need
them at a convenience store or coffee
shop to pay an exact amount to others
they're a nuisance a never used pest
that we leave in a jar a cup holder or
on the street now there's new momentum
to get rid of the penny or at least stop
producing it for far too long the United
States has minted pennies which
literally cost us more than 2 cents this
is so wasteful it actually cost 3.7
cents to produce one penny according to
a report last year from the US Mint one
of the reasons anti- peny Advocates like
Professor Robert wles say it's time to
end our ties to the penny you see that
people consider them to be a nuisance
and they just don't bring them back into
the store you see them lying on the
sidewalk people don't even pick them up
wles argues that because many Americans
don't bring pennies back to the store
and spend them stores then run out of
pennies ask the banks for more then
Banks ask the US Mint to create more of
a coin we're using less and less but
Mark Weller director of the pro Penny
group Americans for common sense which
is funded by a company that produces the
metal discs that are used to make coins
argues that getting rid of the penny
would cause inflation because businesses
would start rounding transactions to the
nearest nickel and would more likely try
to round up than down does President
Trump have the power to unilaterally
eliminate the penny experts say he
likely can order the treasury Department
to stop making new pennies but to stop
the use of pennies already in
circulation would take an act of
Congress and the federal government
would also have to buy back the already
issued pennies which would be expensive
did you know that polar bears are
classified as marine mammals and did you
know that their skin is actually black
or that their fur is not white it's
actually transparent with a hollow core
well well I was today years old when I
learned that unlike other furry mammals
a polar bear's fur doesn't freeze as
they Dole along in their icy domains
scientists on a mission to find out why
that's the case discovered this mix of
greasy compounds in their fur that make
it freeze resistant here's our Randy K
to tell us all about the new research
uncovering the benefits of polar bear
fur and how that could be applied to
creating new and improved anti-icing
products that may come in handy for us
not on ursiday creatures did you know
that a polar bear's fur doesn't freeze
even after it returns to dry land from
an icy swim according to a recent study
published in science advances scientists
in Norway found the polar bear fur to be
pretty oily thanks to a distinct group
of greasy compounds and that may be what
repels the Ice unwashed polar be hair
don't very weak like the ice or it's
washed polar hair where all the hair
oils and lipids have been removed stuck
with a much greater strength and once
they figured out the ice didn't really
stick to the cleaner fur it suggested to
us that the hero were the secret and
stopping ice from sticking to polar
bears now the researchers insist Arctic
people have known about the polar bears
special anti- I abilities for centuries
but the team found that the oils in the
bear's fur contained a lot of fatty
acids when compared with other mammals
which makes sense since polar bears
often Feast on seals a pretty fatty diet
the scientists compared their findings
to human hair for the sake of science
this guy didn't wash his hair for a week
this allowed us to build up a lot of
hair oils and grease within my hair we
found that when both washed and unwashed
the ice St very strong to the human hair
samples that's very different from the
outcome with the polar bear fur why does
any of this matter the scientists hope
that this research will inspire new and
safer anti-icing products for deicing
planes for example if so we'll have our
Snow White Arctic neighbors to
[Applause]
thank today we're given a 10 out of 10
to a phenomenally rare fish sighting
Kaji believe a deep sea angler fish was
spotted in the shallow Waters off the
coast of Spain's tenera Island you know
the angler fish that Dennis into the
deep that looks like a gnarly tooth
creature out of a scary movie with that
little dangly glowing light thing that
it uses to lure in its prey well this is
in the news because those things are
usually over one mile deep our aana
scatola fills us in on this recent
fantastic
encounter marine biologists say they
spotted a black sea devil anglerfish
alive near the ocean's surface while on
a shark research campaign the NGO
conrick tenie was on an expedition off
the coast of the Spanish
Island the researchers were surprised
because the Steep sea fish known for its
intim intimidating appearance normally
lives between 200 and 2,000 M deep
according to the
NGO a predator of the ocean's depths it
uses a bioluminescent pole on its head
to attract its prey according to the NGO
only dead specimens l or images captured
by submarines had previously been
documented of the anglish congrats to
our your word Wednesday winners Mr
payon's class peon Pon slay on first
submitting Dole a verb meaning waste
time be slow great word and thank you
for leveling up our vocab today now for
our school shout out this one goes to Mr
Fleming's classes at Auburn Dale Senior
High School in Auburn Dale Florida the
blood hounds yes I love it rise up
everyone go on out and make someone
smile today because you never know when
or how but you just may be the light
someone needs see you tomorrow everyone
