00:11.679 --> 00:14.080
What's up, sunshine? Happy Friday. Fry.

00:14.080 --> 00:16.240
Yay. I'm Koi Wire. Wake up. Wake up.

00:16.240 --> 00:17.920
Wake up. It's the first of the month. We

00:17.920 --> 00:19.600
have your 10 minutes of news for May

00:19.600 --> 00:22.880
1st, Mayday or International Workers

00:22.880 --> 00:26.240
Day. A 135year-old holiday observed in

00:26.240 --> 00:29.199
95 countries. It honors workers rights

00:29.199 --> 00:30.880
and their right to fair labor

00:30.880 --> 00:32.960
conditions. We are also waking up our

00:32.960 --> 00:34.800
brains with some awesome stories today.

00:34.800 --> 00:36.559
This show hits like a drum line on

00:36.559 --> 00:39.200
double espressos today. We begin with a

00:39.200 --> 00:40.719
major ruling from the United States

00:40.719 --> 00:42.640
Supreme Court. One that could redraw

00:42.640 --> 00:45.120
more than just maps. It could redraw the

00:45.120 --> 00:48.559
future of elections. In a 63 decision,

00:48.559 --> 00:50.000
the court struck down a new

00:50.000 --> 00:52.320
congressional map in Louisiana, which is

00:52.320 --> 00:54.960
about 30% black. For years, the state

00:54.960 --> 00:57.520
had one majority black district. This

00:57.520 --> 00:59.840
case was about a second black, mostly

00:59.840 --> 01:02.239
Democratic district added to the state's

01:02.239 --> 01:06.080
map in 2024. The justices say lawmakers

01:06.080 --> 01:08.320
lean too heavily on race when drawing

01:08.320 --> 01:10.240
those lines, calling it an

01:10.240 --> 01:12.960
unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

01:12.960 --> 01:14.880
Here's our Boris Sanchez to explain the

01:14.880 --> 01:17.119
difference between redistricting and

01:17.119 --> 01:18.560
gerrymandering.

01:18.560 --> 01:20.159
>> Redistricting has sparked major

01:20.159 --> 01:22.799
political and legal battles. But what

01:22.799 --> 01:25.280
exactly is it? Let's break it down using

01:25.280 --> 01:28.320
this hypothetical imaginary state as an

01:28.320 --> 01:30.479
example. Say our state has allocated

01:30.479 --> 01:32.400
five congressional districts based on

01:32.400 --> 01:35.040
its population. Each district should

01:35.040 --> 01:37.280
hold about the same number of people so

01:37.280 --> 01:39.520
that its representation in Congress is

01:39.520 --> 01:41.759
equal. Redistricting typically happens

01:41.759 --> 01:44.400
every 10 years following the release of

01:44.400 --> 01:47.280
the US census. So 10 years later, the

01:47.280 --> 01:49.040
newest census shows us that our

01:49.040 --> 01:51.200
imaginary state still has the same

01:51.200 --> 01:53.119
number of people, but many have moved

01:53.119 --> 01:54.880
around to different neighborhoods. So

01:54.880 --> 01:57.280
the state redraws its five districts to

01:57.280 --> 01:59.840
balance things out. The new map isn't

01:59.840 --> 02:01.520
quite as neat, but it is better

02:01.520 --> 02:04.000
representative of where people live.

02:04.000 --> 02:06.560
Now, what if our state's voters leaned

02:06.560 --> 02:08.959
something like this? Under these new

02:08.959 --> 02:11.120
district lines, the balance of power is

02:11.120 --> 02:13.760
three seats for party A, two for party

02:13.760 --> 02:16.640
B. and say in our hypothetical that

02:16.640 --> 02:19.120
party A is in charge of drawing the map,

02:19.120 --> 02:21.360
they may be inclined to redistrict in a

02:21.360 --> 02:23.599
way that boosts their party's advantage.

02:23.599 --> 02:25.520
So they might redraw their lines

02:25.520 --> 02:27.599
something like this, shifting the

02:27.599 --> 02:30.319
balance of power to four seats for A and

02:30.319 --> 02:32.640
just one for B. When district lines are

02:32.640 --> 02:34.319
drawn this way to give one party more

02:34.319 --> 02:37.519
power, that is called gerrymandering.

02:37.519 --> 02:39.760
And what's the result? Voters might not

02:39.760 --> 02:41.599
be fairly represented. What's not

02:41.599 --> 02:43.920
hypothetical? Both Democrats and

02:43.920 --> 02:46.000
Republicans use gerrymandering across

02:46.000 --> 02:48.480
the country. Under current law, racial

02:48.480 --> 02:50.560
gerrymandering or drawing lines to

02:50.560 --> 02:52.560
minimize the voting power of a specific

02:52.560 --> 02:55.840
racial group is illegal. But partisan

02:55.840 --> 02:58.319
gerrymandering is allowed under federal

02:58.319 --> 03:00.400
law. And there are ongoing arguments

03:00.400 --> 03:03.120
about what a fair map really looks like.

03:03.120 --> 03:05.360
This ruling also deals a blow to

03:05.360 --> 03:08.400
sanctions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act,

03:08.400 --> 03:10.239
a cornerstone law meant to protect

03:10.239 --> 03:12.800
against racial discrimination in voting.

03:12.800 --> 03:15.040
Here's our Laura Coats on how this could

03:15.040 --> 03:17.440
affect elections in the future. Now,

03:17.440 --> 03:19.280
technically, the court did not strike

03:19.280 --> 03:22.000
down section two entirely, but they just

03:22.000 --> 03:24.480
made it nearly impossible to prove a

03:24.480 --> 03:27.040
violation of section two because now you

03:27.040 --> 03:29.280
have to prove that the district was

03:29.280 --> 03:31.840
drawn really with intentional

03:31.840 --> 03:33.760
discrimination, not just that it

03:33.760 --> 03:37.120
resulted in unequal outcomes. And that's

03:37.120 --> 03:39.440
an extremely high standard that could

03:39.440 --> 03:42.480
very well prove to be insurmountable in

03:42.480 --> 03:45.200
most cases. Now, with section five, the

03:45.200 --> 03:47.760
formula case already gutted, this

03:47.760 --> 03:50.239
effectively guts section two and the

03:50.239 --> 03:52.319
test that has been used for more than

03:52.319 --> 03:55.680
four decades to protect minority voting

03:55.680 --> 03:59.280
power from being diluted. And the

03:59.280 --> 04:02.480
consideration of race to try to correct

04:02.480 --> 04:05.680
racial discrimination in voting

04:05.680 --> 04:08.000
no longer has any power. Now, many

04:08.000 --> 04:10.239
wonder what's left then of what has been

04:10.239 --> 04:12.319
called one of the most important pieces

04:12.319 --> 04:14.879
of civil rights legislation. Now, the

04:14.879 --> 04:17.359
immediate impact, that's unknown. A lot

04:17.359 --> 04:19.680
of primaries are coming up, midterms in

04:19.680 --> 04:21.840
a few months, but this is sure to have

04:21.840 --> 04:23.680
lasting consequences in the years to

04:23.680 --> 04:25.360
come, particularly when the new census

04:25.360 --> 04:27.759
data comes out, and you can be sure that

04:27.759 --> 04:29.680
future maps, they're going to look a

04:29.680 --> 04:32.080
whole lot different.

04:32.080 --> 04:34.240
Pop quiz hot shot. What did Vikings use

04:34.240 --> 04:36.639
as an early form of currency? whale

04:36.639 --> 04:38.880
bones, silver arm rings, wooden beads,

04:38.880 --> 04:42.600
or shark teeth.

04:45.680 --> 04:49.040
If you said silver arm rings,

04:49.040 --> 04:51.280
before coins took over, Vikings operated

04:51.280 --> 04:54.160
in bullion economy using silver jewelry

04:54.160 --> 04:56.240
as currency. So, technically, Vikings

04:56.240 --> 04:58.880
were dripping in their savings accounts.

04:58.880 --> 05:00.960
Archaeologists in Norway just hit the

05:00.960 --> 05:03.919
historical jackpot. Nearly 3,000 silver

05:03.919 --> 05:06.080
coins unearthed in a single field. We

05:06.080 --> 05:08.800
are talking coins from the 980s AD to

05:08.800 --> 05:11.360
the 1040s. Experts say most of the coins

05:11.360 --> 05:13.520
are English and German with some Danish

05:13.520 --> 05:16.320
and Norwegian mixed in. A thoroughly

05:16.320 --> 05:18.320
impressive collection and proof that

05:18.320 --> 05:20.000
Vikings weren't just fierce fighters,

05:20.000 --> 05:21.680
they were global traders before

05:21.680 --> 05:24.160
globalization was even a word. And get

05:24.160 --> 05:25.680
this, it all started with two

05:25.680 --> 05:28.639
detectorrists finding just 19 coins from

05:28.639 --> 05:31.759
pocket change to Loki Historic Hall.

05:31.759 --> 05:33.520
Archaeologists are still digging, hoping

05:33.520 --> 05:35.759
to uncover more clues about how wealth,

05:35.759 --> 05:38.000
trade, and treasure flowed back then.

05:38.000 --> 05:39.680
Turns out Vikings didn't just leave

05:39.680 --> 05:42.320
legends, they left receipts.

05:42.320 --> 05:44.720
Now to an incredible comeback attempt.

05:44.720 --> 05:46.639
Allison Felix, the most decorated woman

05:46.639 --> 05:48.880
in Olympic track history, is lacing them

05:48.880 --> 05:51.680
back up at 40 years old, some four years

05:51.680 --> 05:54.160
after hanging up her cleat. 11 Olympic

05:54.160 --> 05:57.759
medals, 20 world medals, two kids, zero

05:57.759 --> 05:59.840
limits. She told time, "Let's go after

05:59.840 --> 06:01.680
the thing. Let's be vulnerable. That's

06:01.680 --> 06:03.600
not just a quote. That's a mic drop in

06:03.600 --> 06:06.000
motion. She has her sight set on the

06:06.000 --> 06:08.560
2028 Summer Olympics in her hometown,

06:08.560 --> 06:11.199
Los Angeles. Felix retired from track

06:11.199 --> 06:13.680
following the Tokyo Olympics in 2021,

06:13.680 --> 06:15.680
where she won gold after giving birth to

06:15.680 --> 06:17.440
her daughter. In Allison's case,

06:17.440 --> 06:19.440
greatness doesn't retire. Apparently, it

06:19.440 --> 06:21.919
just reloads. Meanwhile, another legend

06:21.919 --> 06:23.919
is keeping us on our toes, literally.

06:23.919 --> 06:26.160
Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast

06:26.160 --> 06:28.880
ever, says her Olympic future is still

06:28.880 --> 06:30.800
up in the air. She told CNN Sports

06:30.800 --> 06:33.039
Amanda Davis that her mental health will

06:33.039 --> 06:34.800
play a major role in whether she

06:34.800 --> 06:36.800
competes in 2028.

06:36.800 --> 06:38.639
>> I know you've said you feel you will be

06:38.639 --> 06:41.840
at LA 28 in some capacity.

06:41.840 --> 06:44.080
>> Uh do you have any more indication which

06:44.080 --> 06:45.440
capacity yet?

06:45.440 --> 06:47.360
>> I feel like we're still at a 50/50. I

06:47.360 --> 06:49.280
mean we're still on a time crunch here.

06:49.280 --> 06:52.160
Now it's almost half of 2026. So we're

06:52.160 --> 06:53.440
going to have to make these decisions

06:53.440 --> 06:54.479
pretty quickly. So

06:54.479 --> 06:56.000
>> what will it depend on? What are the

06:56.000 --> 06:58.479
considerations? I think mental health

06:58.479 --> 07:00.720
plays a big role in it because again

07:00.720 --> 07:02.479
physically my coaches will get me in

07:02.479 --> 07:04.800
shape. I can get myself in shape. Um we

07:04.800 --> 07:06.560
believe in that ability. Um we're really

07:06.560 --> 07:08.400
thankful that I'm still healthy but

07:08.400 --> 07:10.639
mental is a huge thing and and it's a

07:10.639 --> 07:12.639
lot of dedication on that because the

07:12.639 --> 07:15.680
road's not easy. It's long but it's

07:15.680 --> 07:16.639
still work

07:16.639 --> 07:18.560
>> and yeah the risk versus the rewards.

07:18.560 --> 07:21.280
>> Exactly. You might remember Simone Bile

07:21.280 --> 07:23.120
stepped back during the Tokyo Games

07:23.120 --> 07:25.280
after experiencing the twisties, a

07:25.280 --> 07:27.199
mental block that can throw off even the

07:27.199 --> 07:30.840
best in the world.

07:33.520 --> 07:35.360
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

07:35.360 --> 07:37.840
miniature horse on a major mission. Meet

07:37.840 --> 07:40.720
Ari, short for mighty Aristides. He

07:40.720 --> 07:43.039
lives at the Kentucky Derby Museum and

07:43.039 --> 07:45.680
his job, emotional support animal for

07:45.680 --> 07:48.160
other animals. Yes, the Kentucky Derby

07:48.160 --> 07:50.000
is this weekend in Louisville. And when

07:50.000 --> 07:52.479
raceh horses retire and transition into

07:52.479 --> 07:54.479
the stable life, it can be stressful,

07:54.479 --> 07:57.039
like going from rockstar tours to quiet

07:57.039 --> 07:59.759
suburb vibes overnight. That's where Ari

07:59.759 --> 08:02.720
trots in, bringing calm, companionship,

08:02.720 --> 08:04.720
and a little horse to horse therapy for

08:04.720 --> 08:06.639
thoroughbreds who will hopefully be

08:06.639 --> 08:08.800
adopted. Oh, and for the visitors, let's

08:08.800 --> 08:10.879
just say this mini horse is max level

08:10.879 --> 08:12.960
crowd favorite. Proof that sometimes the

08:12.960 --> 08:14.960
smallest teammate can make the biggest

08:14.960 --> 08:17.199
difference. All right, we have two

08:17.199 --> 08:19.120
Friday shoutouts on this first of the

08:19.120 --> 08:21.280
month. Miss Van Dyke, Mr. Braden, and

08:21.280 --> 08:24.080
all of our friends at CJI Public Schools

08:24.080 --> 08:26.000
in Chester, Montana. Thank you for

08:26.000 --> 08:27.680
following and showing love on the

08:27.680 --> 08:29.919
Instagram. And this next shout out goes

08:29.919 --> 08:34.240
to Mrs. Toyama at Moana Lua High School

08:34.240 --> 08:37.440
in Honolulu, Hawaii, who sent us this

08:37.440 --> 08:39.919
handmade Lelay because Mayday is also

08:39.919 --> 08:42.240
Lelay Day, a holiday honoring the art of

08:42.240 --> 08:44.640
making and wearing Lays as a symbol of

08:44.640 --> 08:47.519
aloha and love. And uh yeah, you're

08:47.519 --> 08:49.040
awesome. Thank you for sharing that with

08:49.040 --> 08:51.120
us. Play that Friday music nod air. As

08:51.120 --> 08:52.959
we saw today, history is still being

08:52.959 --> 08:54.640
uncovered. Greatness is still being

08:54.640 --> 08:56.560
chased. So keep your heart open and your

08:56.560 --> 08:58.640
energy high. You are more powerful than

08:58.640 --> 09:00.959
you know. I'm Koi Wire and we are CNN

09:00.959 --> 09:03.959
10.

09:22.480 --> 09:25.480
Heat.

09:34.880 --> 09:37.880
Heat.

09:45.120 --> 09:48.120
Heat.

09:55.760 --> 09:58.760
Heat.
