WEBVTT 00:11.360 --> 00:13.040 All right, almost showtime, but before 00:13.040 --> 00:15.200 the show, some of you getting me pumped 00:15.200 --> 00:17.520 up. Check out this special resin mold. 00:17.520 --> 00:19.600 Look, sunshine, love. Look at all this 00:19.600 --> 00:21.439 stuff. Miss Berea, Miss Gonzalez at 00:21.439 --> 00:23.279 Western Avenue Middle School in Los 00:23.279 --> 00:25.119 Angeles, California. Thank you very 00:25.119 --> 00:27.359 much. And peep this right here. Miss 00:27.359 --> 00:29.359 Natalie at West High School in Salt Lake 00:29.359 --> 00:32.000 City. Utah. Hector, you did a heck of a 00:32.000 --> 00:34.559 job. Let's get this show on the road. 00:34.559 --> 00:36.719 Hello and happy your word Wednesday. One 00:36.719 --> 00:38.640 of the vocabulary words you submitted 00:38.640 --> 00:40.559 helped us write today's show. It's also 00:40.559 --> 00:42.480 hump day. I know. So, if you're having a 00:42.480 --> 00:44.000 rough day, just remember that what's 00:44.000 --> 00:46.160 coming your way is so much better than 00:46.160 --> 00:47.360 what you've been through. So, keep 00:47.360 --> 00:49.840 rolling or keep marching. Today is the 00:49.840 --> 00:51.360 only day of the year that's also a 00:51.360 --> 00:54.239 complete sentence. March 4th. Now, your 00:54.239 --> 00:56.399 news. For the first time ever, some of 00:56.399 --> 00:58.480 this nation's most historic documents, 00:58.480 --> 01:00.559 which helped the US take flight, have 01:00.559 --> 01:02.559 been cleared for takeoff themselves. 01:02.559 --> 01:04.479 They'll be flown from city to city on 01:04.479 --> 01:06.880 their own jet, dubbed the Freedom Plane, 01:06.880 --> 01:09.600 as part of the nation's 250th birthday 01:09.600 --> 01:11.439 celebration. The tour launched from 01:11.439 --> 01:13.200 Ronald Reagan, Washington National 01:13.200 --> 01:15.040 Airport with stops planned in eight 01:15.040 --> 01:17.360 cities. On board, we have an original 01:17.360 --> 01:19.040 engraving of the Declaration of 01:19.040 --> 01:20.960 Independence, the Treaty of Paris that 01:20.960 --> 01:23.200 ended the Revolutionary War and oaths of 01:23.200 --> 01:25.280 allegiance signed by George Washington 01:25.280 --> 01:28.080 and Alexander Hamilton. These documents 01:28.080 --> 01:30.479 usually stay locked in secure vaults at 01:30.479 --> 01:33.520 the National Archives. So really to help 01:33.520 --> 01:35.280 Americans to connect with their past, to 01:35.280 --> 01:37.520 understand uh who they are and where 01:37.520 --> 01:39.439 they've come from. uh really, you know, 01:39.439 --> 01:41.600 every every American is an heir to what 01:41.600 --> 01:43.840 the founding fathers envisioned uh and 01:43.840 --> 01:45.520 and what they wrote into history on 01:45.520 --> 01:47.439 these documents. So to be able to take 01:47.439 --> 01:50.640 those uh right up to to people's cities 01:50.640 --> 01:53.040 and towns and communities is a once in a 01:53.040 --> 01:55.439 generation opportunity. Now, some news 01:55.439 --> 01:57.840 on devices pushing the limits of what is 01:57.840 --> 02:00.079 possible when technology and the human 02:00.079 --> 02:02.560 body collide. Human brain implants, 02:02.560 --> 02:05.119 devices that enable users to control a 02:05.119 --> 02:07.680 computer interface using their thoughts. 02:07.680 --> 02:09.920 The goal of the technology is to help 02:09.920 --> 02:12.080 paralyzed patients or those living with 02:12.080 --> 02:14.959 degenerative diseases like ALS. Several 02:14.959 --> 02:16.879 companies have been conducting human 02:16.879 --> 02:19.280 trials for years, including Elon Musk's 02:19.280 --> 02:22.000 Neurolink startup. So, how close are we 02:22.000 --> 02:24.239 to seeing this technology being ready 02:24.239 --> 02:26.160 for the masses? Our Becky Anderson 02:26.160 --> 02:27.920 caught up with the first patient in 02:27.920 --> 02:30.640 Neurolink's human trials. 02:30.640 --> 02:32.959 >> This is Noland Arbor, known as 02:32.959 --> 02:35.840 Neuralink's patient one. He's the first 02:35.840 --> 02:38.239 human to receive Elon Musk's brain 02:38.239 --> 02:41.120 computer interface, a device designed to 02:41.120 --> 02:44.879 translate thought into digital action. 02:44.879 --> 02:47.920 For 8 years, I was not really doing 02:47.920 --> 02:51.280 anything. I had no direction. Um, I 02:51.280 --> 02:53.680 would go to sleep when I wanted to and 02:53.680 --> 02:55.760 wake up when I wanted to. There was no 02:55.760 --> 02:58.080 reason to really get up. After 02:58.080 --> 03:01.519 Neuralink, I was going to sleep early so 03:01.519 --> 03:03.680 I could wake up the next day and 03:03.680 --> 03:07.760 participate in in the study. Um, I found 03:07.760 --> 03:09.840 purpose beyond that. 03:09.840 --> 03:11.920 >> The implant works by sensing brain 03:11.920 --> 03:14.720 signals, specifically the intention to 03:14.720 --> 03:18.080 move and converting that activity into 03:18.080 --> 03:21.440 commands that can control a computer. 03:21.440 --> 03:25.519 Arbor was paralyzed in a 2016 accident. 03:25.519 --> 03:29.360 We went to dive in, jump in, and I got 03:29.360 --> 03:31.280 hit in the side of the head. I 03:31.280 --> 03:34.799 immediately dislocated my C4C5 in my 03:34.799 --> 03:37.440 neck and woke up face down in the water, 03:37.440 --> 03:38.959 completely paralyzed. 03:38.959 --> 03:41.680 >> He spent years relying on a mouth 03:41.680 --> 03:44.239 operated stick just to navigate a 03:44.239 --> 03:47.760 screen. Today, he can move a cursor with 03:47.760 --> 03:51.519 his mind, playing chess, video games, 03:51.519 --> 03:55.680 and communicating independently. 03:55.680 --> 03:57.840 Elon Musk says the company will start 03:57.840 --> 04:00.720 high volume production this year. Part 04:00.720 --> 04:03.120 of his broader push to link the human 04:03.120 --> 04:06.000 brain directly with computers and 04:06.000 --> 04:08.319 ultimately enable what he calls 04:08.319 --> 04:11.200 symbiosis with artificial intelligence. 04:11.200 --> 04:14.080 But as the technology moves rapidly from 04:14.080 --> 04:17.040 experiment to scale, regulators are 04:17.040 --> 04:20.400 racing to keep up. UNESCO has already 04:20.400 --> 04:23.680 approved the world's first global ethics 04:23.680 --> 04:26.560 framework for neurochnology 04:26.560 --> 04:29.520 aimed at protecting human rights as 04:29.520 --> 04:32.080 companies push the frontiers of the 04:32.080 --> 04:32.960 human brain. 04:32.960 --> 04:35.199 >> There are serious 04:35.199 --> 04:37.040 cynics. There are those who say that 04:37.040 --> 04:38.479 what he's doing is overhyped. What's 04:38.479 --> 04:39.759 your personal perspective? 04:39.759 --> 04:41.440 >> I think this technology is going to 04:41.440 --> 04:45.040 change the world. I think 04:45.040 --> 04:48.160 it's already helped me so much and it's 04:48.160 --> 04:50.880 in its infancy. There are so many other 04:50.880 --> 04:54.000 people out there who I know um are going 04:54.000 --> 04:57.360 to find so much hope in this and there's 04:57.360 --> 04:59.680 no possible way to overhype that in my 04:59.680 --> 05:01.040 opinion. 05:01.040 --> 05:03.280 >> Pop quiz hot shot. The Baroque painter 05:03.280 --> 05:05.280 Rembrandt is especially famous for his 05:05.280 --> 05:08.160 mastery of what artistic technique? 05:08.160 --> 05:10.880 Pointalism, karascaro, cubism or 05:10.880 --> 05:13.880 surrealism? 05:15.440 --> 05:17.919 If you said kiarascaro, hang it in the 05:17.919 --> 05:20.240 lou. The technique uses strong contrast 05:20.240 --> 05:22.000 between light and dark to achieve a 05:22.000 --> 05:24.240 sense of volume when painting 3D 05:24.240 --> 05:27.520 figures. Now to a remarkable discovery, 05:27.520 --> 05:29.919 or should we say rediscovery in the art 05:29.919 --> 05:31.680 world. A museum in the Netherlands says 05:31.680 --> 05:33.759 they have authenticated a genuine 05:33.759 --> 05:36.320 painting by Rembrandt decades after it 05:36.320 --> 05:38.560 was deemed a fake. The work titled 05:38.560 --> 05:40.960 Vision of Zacharias in the Temple was 05:40.960 --> 05:43.039 painted by the famed Dutch artist in 05:43.039 --> 05:45.680 1633. It depicts a biblical scene 05:45.680 --> 05:48.080 featuring the Archangel Gabriel and the 05:48.080 --> 05:50.639 high priest Zacharias. It was purchased 05:50.639 --> 05:53.919 by a private collector in 1961 despite 05:53.919 --> 05:55.759 experts at the time dismissing the 05:55.759 --> 05:57.759 painting as a knockoff. It largely 05:57.759 --> 05:59.440 disappeared from public view until 05:59.440 --> 06:01.600 recently when a new owner asked the 06:01.600 --> 06:03.600 museum if they could determine who 06:03.600 --> 06:05.840 actually painted it. Turns out it's a 06:05.840 --> 06:07.840 real deal Rembrandt. A team of 06:07.840 --> 06:09.199 researchers spent two years 06:09.199 --> 06:11.360 authenticating the work using techniques 06:11.360 --> 06:14.000 like high-tech X-ray scans. The work 06:14.000 --> 06:15.840 will now go on display as part of a 06:15.840 --> 06:18.160 long-term loan from the owner, giving 06:18.160 --> 06:20.160 the public their first look at the piece 06:20.160 --> 06:22.479 in more than 60 years. No word on how 06:22.479 --> 06:24.400 much the Rembrandt is worth. The most 06:24.400 --> 06:26.720 expensive Rembrandt ever sold was bought 06:26.720 --> 06:30.160 by the Reichkes Museum and Lou for $180 06:30.160 --> 06:33.680 million in 2016. Question for all of our 06:33.680 --> 06:35.600 elders out there. If you had to choose a 06:35.600 --> 06:37.759 music genre that defined your teenage 06:37.759 --> 06:39.360 years, what would it be? For me, it's 06:39.360 --> 06:41.680 old school R&B, boys to men, Joe to see, 06:41.680 --> 06:43.520 sisters with voices. Well, one of the 06:43.520 --> 06:46.000 most popular genres globally for Gen Z 06:46.000 --> 06:48.800 is K-pop or Korean pop music. Its rise 06:48.800 --> 06:51.120 to cultural dominance on a global scale 06:51.120 --> 06:53.759 has been remarkable. Twice, one of 06:53.759 --> 06:55.840 K-pop's biggest girl groups, just marked 06:55.840 --> 06:57.759 their 10th anniversary with a world 06:57.759 --> 06:59.840 tour. And you can see how that global 06:59.840 --> 07:02.479 fandom comes to life through fashion, 07:02.479 --> 07:04.639 fan traditions, and a sense of belonging 07:04.639 --> 07:07.599 that crosses cultures and generations. 07:07.599 --> 07:09.280 Hours before the opening act even 07:09.280 --> 07:11.759 starts, gregarious fans arrive to 07:11.759 --> 07:14.560 partake in pre-show K-pop traditions. 07:14.560 --> 07:17.280 One of them, freebies, small tokens that 07:17.280 --> 07:19.599 fans hand out to complete strangers. 07:19.599 --> 07:21.680 >> So, these are freebies. I make them for 07:21.680 --> 07:23.520 most of my concerts. It's just a good 07:23.520 --> 07:25.599 way of telling people, hey, you're part 07:25.599 --> 07:27.599 of the community. You know, I really 07:27.599 --> 07:29.280 love to share this thing with you. It's 07:29.280 --> 07:30.960 a great way to make new friends and just 07:30.960 --> 07:32.560 get communication started. 07:32.560 --> 07:35.680 >> Nearby K-pop nonprofit Motion Exchange 07:35.680 --> 07:38.160 is leading a random dance play, a fan 07:38.160 --> 07:40.000 favorite K-pop tradition where songs 07:40.000 --> 07:41.919 play at random and anyone who knows the 07:41.919 --> 07:43.840 choreography jumps on in. 07:43.840 --> 07:44.960 >> Well, I don't know none of those people 07:44.960 --> 07:46.960 out there. And all we said was, "We're 07:46.960 --> 07:48.160 dancing. Y'all come hang out." And 07:48.160 --> 07:49.680 everyone came to show up. You know, it's 07:49.680 --> 07:50.080 beautiful. 07:50.080 --> 07:51.440 >> And that's what K-pop is all about is 07:51.440 --> 07:53.680 just love and expressing yourself and 07:53.680 --> 07:55.680 having good fun through music. So, if 07:55.680 --> 07:57.840 you like music, you probably like K-pop. 07:57.840 --> 07:58.879 Let's give it a try. 07:58.879 --> 08:00.800 >> Fans say that spirit of sharing and 08:00.800 --> 08:02.879 community is part of what makes K-pop 08:02.879 --> 08:04.720 different and part of why it keeps 08:04.720 --> 08:06.160 growing worldwide. 08:06.160 --> 08:08.160 >> I think it opens so many bridges to like 08:08.160 --> 08:11.120 connect cultures and it's very expansive 08:11.120 --> 08:14.479 and I mean it makes me happy and I can 08:14.479 --> 08:16.319 enjoy the music, the dance and like just 08:16.319 --> 08:18.479 the art of it. And the crowd itself 08:18.479 --> 08:20.720 reflects that global reach. Not one age 08:20.720 --> 08:23.199 group, not one background. And building 08:23.199 --> 08:25.680 friendships over the genre. As K-pop 08:25.680 --> 08:27.440 continues to cross borders and break 08:27.440 --> 08:29.680 barriers, fans say the real power isn't 08:29.680 --> 08:32.000 just in the performance, it's in the 08:32.000 --> 08:35.000 connection. 08:38.479 --> 08:40.479 From K-pop and hip hop, today's story 08:40.479 --> 08:42.959 getting a 10 out of 10. A hippo. A new 08:42.959 --> 08:44.959 Pygmy hippo that's capturing the hearts 08:44.959 --> 08:47.600 of zoo goers. Meet Jellybean, the newest 08:47.600 --> 08:50.000 addition at Arizona's Wildlife World 08:50.000 --> 08:52.080 Zoo. She's drawing crowds of adoring 08:52.080 --> 08:55.200 fans and she even gets the hippo zooies. 08:55.200 --> 08:57.120 >> Right now, she is mom's little shadow 08:57.120 --> 08:59.600 and it's adorable to see because she's 08:59.600 --> 09:01.680 just a little baby, so she's exploring 09:01.680 --> 09:03.600 everything and everything is new to her. 09:03.600 --> 09:05.920 >> Her sweet name is the result of a public 09:05.920 --> 09:08.000 naming contest. Jellybean is learning 09:08.000 --> 09:09.839 all about being a hippo from mom 09:09.839 --> 09:12.800 Lollipop and dad Tootsie Roll. Pygmy 09:12.800 --> 09:14.480 hippos are much smaller than their 09:14.480 --> 09:16.640 common counterparts, only growing to 09:16.640 --> 09:19.680 about 400 lb instead of nearly 9,000. 09:19.680 --> 09:21.519 Despite her smaller stature, zoo 09:21.519 --> 09:23.600 staffers say Jelly Bean will have a huge 09:23.600 --> 09:25.600 impact in their understanding of the 09:25.600 --> 09:28.720 species. In honor of ReadAcross America 09:28.720 --> 09:30.560 week, we are highlighting some of your 09:30.560 --> 09:32.080 favorite books and books you're reading 09:32.080 --> 09:34.560 right now. Our inbox is full, so keep 09:34.560 --> 09:36.800 them coming. Colin von Stein from the 09:36.800 --> 09:38.640 Manning School of Academics and Arts in 09:38.640 --> 09:41.120 Golden, Colorado says, "My favorite book 09:41.120 --> 09:43.839 is Hoot by Carl Hyasin. The way the 09:43.839 --> 09:45.600 author describes everything to such 09:45.600 --> 09:47.760 immaculate detail truly made it a great 09:47.760 --> 09:50.240 story to read. A truly compelling plot 09:50.240 --> 09:52.240 about a group of teens making change and 09:52.240 --> 09:54.480 saving some burrowing owls and some 09:54.480 --> 09:56.640 funny hijinks along the way. I see you, 09:56.640 --> 09:58.240 Colin. Keep them coming y'all. We are 09:58.240 --> 09:59.920 going to share another from your reading 09:59.920 --> 10:01.920 list tomorrow." Now, one of my favorite 10:01.920 --> 10:04.560 books is The Power of Now by Echart Tol. 10:04.560 --> 10:06.240 And right now we are showing some love 10:06.240 --> 10:08.959 to Mrs. Love at Floyd Municipal Schools 10:08.959 --> 10:10.959 in Floyd, New Mexico, who submitted our 10:10.959 --> 10:13.200 your word Wednesday winner. Gregarious, 10:13.200 --> 10:15.600 an adjective meaning sociable or seeking 10:15.600 --> 10:18.240 and enjoying the company of others. And 10:18.240 --> 10:20.959 this just in, I've gotten my hands on 10:20.959 --> 10:22.399 one of those historical documents that 10:22.399 --> 10:23.839 didn't make it on the freedom plane at 10:23.839 --> 10:26.000 the beginning of our show. Mr. Austin 10:26.000 --> 10:27.680 and friends at Windsor Learning Center 10:27.680 --> 10:30.079 in Pmpton Lakes, New Jersey, sent us a 10:30.079 --> 10:32.720 declaration of shoutout request. We wish 10:32.720 --> 10:34.959 you uh the pursuit of happiness. Have a 10:34.959 --> 10:36.480 wonderful Wednesday, y'all. See you here 10:36.480 --> 10:41.640 tomorrow. I'm Ky Wire and we are CNN 10.
