WEBVTT 00:11.759 --> 00:13.920 What's up, sunshine? I'm Koi Wire. Happy 00:13.920 --> 00:16.080 Monday, motivational Monday. Remember, 00:16.080 --> 00:18.160 what is within influences what happens 00:18.160 --> 00:20.080 without. So, let's acknowledge the bad 00:20.080 --> 00:21.760 when we must, but quickly move to 00:21.760 --> 00:23.760 focusing on the good, the positive, the 00:23.760 --> 00:25.680 uplifting, getting our minds right so we 00:25.680 --> 00:27.760 can shine bright. We had one of the 00:27.760 --> 00:29.920 biggest sporting events on the planet 00:29.920 --> 00:31.679 last night. And congrats to all the 00:31.679 --> 00:33.920 Seahawks fans out there winning the 00:33.920 --> 00:36.079 Super Bowl. They get redemption from the 00:36.079 --> 00:37.760 last time they made it to the Super Bowl 00:37.760 --> 00:40.480 in 2015 when they lost the big game 00:40.480 --> 00:42.800 against the Patriots. Congrats to 00:42.800 --> 00:46.000 Seattle. Also in sporting news, the 2026 00:46.000 --> 00:48.000 Milan Cortina Winter Games are 00:48.000 --> 00:50.000 officially underway. I'll be heading to 00:50.000 --> 00:52.320 Italy later tonight. I can't wait to 00:52.320 --> 00:54.320 shout some of you out from there. I will 00:54.320 --> 00:56.000 have updates from the games for you. And 00:56.000 --> 00:58.399 of course, the other top news stories of 00:58.399 --> 01:00.960 the day. Twin cauldrons were lit in 01:00.960 --> 01:03.199 Milan and Cortina on Friday to 01:03.199 --> 01:04.799 officially kick off the games. And 01:04.799 --> 01:06.720 there's already been plenty of historic 01:06.720 --> 01:08.880 moments and heartbreak right out of the 01:08.880 --> 01:10.880 gates. Perhaps the biggest headline, 01:10.880 --> 01:12.960 skiing legend Lindsey Vaughn, whose 01:12.960 --> 01:15.200 incredible comeback attempt came to an 01:15.200 --> 01:17.600 end Sunday. van crashing during the 01:17.600 --> 01:20.000 women's downhill finals and had to be 01:20.000 --> 01:22.159 airlifted from the course as the world 01:22.159 --> 01:23.840 watched in stunned silence. The 01:23.840 --> 01:25.360 41-year-old is one of the greatest 01:25.360 --> 01:27.439 skiers of all time. She was determined 01:27.439 --> 01:29.920 to compete despite completely rupturing 01:29.920 --> 01:33.040 her ACL or anterior cruciate ligament in 01:33.040 --> 01:35.119 her knee during a training run just nine 01:35.119 --> 01:36.799 days earlier. At the time of this 01:36.799 --> 01:39.040 taping, she was airlifted by helicopter 01:39.040 --> 01:41.680 to a hospital in Ensrook for evaluation. 01:41.680 --> 01:43.840 She is brave. She is bold and she was 01:43.840 --> 01:45.920 determined to continue chasing that 01:45.920 --> 01:49.040 dream. We wish her a speedy recovery. As 01:49.040 --> 01:50.880 for the competition, we have a new 01:50.880 --> 01:53.360 Olympic queen of speed. 30-year-old 01:53.360 --> 01:56.479 American Breezy Johnson taking home gold 01:56.479 --> 01:58.399 in that women's downhill after missing 01:58.399 --> 02:00.399 the last winter games with an injury. 02:00.399 --> 02:02.880 The Wyoming born Idaho raised Breezy 02:02.880 --> 02:04.880 says that at speeds of 80 plus miles per 02:04.880 --> 02:07.680 hour, it's like Formula One on ice. 02:07.680 --> 02:09.360 Congrats to Breezy. These winter 02:09.360 --> 02:11.680 Olympics feature some incredibly unique 02:11.680 --> 02:13.840 events, and I got the chance to try one 02:13.840 --> 02:16.319 of them. Curling, the popular Olympic 02:16.319 --> 02:18.319 event, is a one-of-a-kind experience, 02:18.319 --> 02:20.800 and I can confidently tell you it is 02:20.800 --> 02:23.200 much harder than it looks. I hit the ice 02:23.200 --> 02:26.160 alongside CNN's Victor Blackwell to get 02:26.160 --> 02:28.239 a crash course in curling from our very 02:28.239 --> 02:30.560 own meteorologist extraordinaire and 02:30.560 --> 02:32.640 part-time curling coach, Allison 02:32.640 --> 02:34.319 Chinchar. 02:34.319 --> 02:35.920 >> This may look like house cleaning on 02:35.920 --> 02:36.319 ice. 02:36.319 --> 02:37.680 >> Lots of folks would not even think this 02:37.680 --> 02:39.200 is a sport. It's actually one of the 02:39.200 --> 02:41.440 most strategic sports in the Olympics. 02:41.440 --> 02:43.040 >> Welcome to curling. 02:43.040 --> 02:46.400 >> No skates, no sticks, just stones, 02:46.400 --> 02:48.879 brooms, and extreme thinking. 02:48.879 --> 02:51.200 >> Yeah, it looks chill until it isn't. 02:51.200 --> 02:53.680 >> Curling is weird, wonderful, and 02:53.680 --> 02:55.200 extremely intense. 02:55.200 --> 02:56.800 >> Sweep. Keep sweeping. 02:56.800 --> 02:58.480 >> We got to spend some time with the 02:58.480 --> 03:00.800 curlers at the Peach Tree Curling 03:00.800 --> 03:03.200 Association in Marietta, Georgia, the 03:03.200 --> 03:05.440 only dedicated curling facility in the 03:05.440 --> 03:08.239 entire state. and our very own Allison 03:08.239 --> 03:11.280 Chinchar showed us the ropes. So, what 03:11.280 --> 03:12.400 is curling? 03:12.400 --> 03:14.239 >> So, it's kind of like shuffle board on 03:14.239 --> 03:16.720 ice. Essentially, you have two teams of 03:16.720 --> 03:19.280 four different people. And the object is 03:19.280 --> 03:21.360 to get the stones all the way from one 03:21.360 --> 03:23.760 end down to what looks like a bullseye. 03:23.760 --> 03:26.159 It's called the house. The closer to the 03:26.159 --> 03:28.239 center, that's the point that wins the 03:28.239 --> 03:30.799 game. Essentially, each team throws 03:30.799 --> 03:34.480 eight stones per end. The players will 03:34.480 --> 03:36.720 take turns sliding the stone down the 03:36.720 --> 03:39.680 ice toward the house with the goal of 03:39.680 --> 03:41.519 getting it as close to the button as 03:41.519 --> 03:43.040 possible. 03:43.040 --> 03:45.040 Now, the stones can also be used to 03:45.040 --> 03:47.440 knock other stones out of the way or 03:47.440 --> 03:49.760 even block shots. Those are called 03:49.760 --> 03:53.120 guards. Once the stone is released and 03:53.120 --> 03:55.440 crosses the hog line, your teammates can 03:55.440 --> 03:58.560 begin sweeping. Now, it must cross the 03:58.560 --> 04:00.799 far hog line in order to actually stay 04:00.799 --> 04:04.879 in play. If not, it's removed. You score 04:04.879 --> 04:07.280 one point for each stone closer to the 04:07.280 --> 04:09.439 button than the opponent's closest 04:09.439 --> 04:12.319 stone. But stones must be at least 04:12.319 --> 04:15.280 partly inside the house to count. 04:15.280 --> 04:17.840 >> That's a long way away. I didn't realize 04:17.840 --> 04:18.799 it was that far. 04:18.799 --> 04:20.239 >> That's why you have sweepers, because 04:20.239 --> 04:22.400 your sweepers can help assist the rock 04:22.400 --> 04:24.240 making it all the way down just in case 04:24.240 --> 04:26.400 you don't quite give it that bump that's 04:26.400 --> 04:28.000 needed to make it all the way to the 04:28.000 --> 04:30.240 end. Once we got the rules down, it was 04:30.240 --> 04:31.840 time to slide into the game. 04:31.840 --> 04:34.160 >> As I push, you are going to sweep. 04:34.160 --> 04:37.199 Almost like you're pushing down on the 04:37.199 --> 04:38.080 ice. 04:38.080 --> 04:40.240 >> You're trying to almost make a divot as 04:40.240 --> 04:45.759 you sweep. Sweep. Sweep hard. 04:45.759 --> 04:48.320 >> Sweeping melts the ice slightly. 04:48.320 --> 04:49.840 >> Makes the stone travel farther. 04:49.840 --> 04:51.600 >> And sweeping isn't cleaning. It's 04:51.600 --> 04:52.160 science. 04:52.160 --> 04:53.440 >> The harder we sweep, 04:53.440 --> 04:55.360 >> the farther it goes. 04:55.360 --> 04:56.960 >> That's like botchi ball. 04:56.960 --> 04:58.720 >> It is. It's like botchi meets 04:58.720 --> 05:01.280 shuffleboard meets ice. Get in your 05:01.280 --> 05:04.080 position, then put your foot on this. 05:04.080 --> 05:07.720 >> I can do it. Believe. 05:11.039 --> 05:14.440 >> There you go. 05:18.080 --> 05:23.000 >> Wait, I don't know what to do with that. 05:25.759 --> 05:31.479 One, two, three. 05:32.560 --> 05:34.880 >> Is there a doover in the Olympics? 05:34.880 --> 05:36.880 >> Thankfully, we had plenty of seasoned 05:36.880 --> 05:38.960 curlers on the ice to learn from. 05:38.960 --> 05:41.680 >> I live in Atlanta and I started curling 05:41.680 --> 05:43.280 here when when we built this place 10 05:43.280 --> 05:45.280 years ago. It's harder than it looks. 05:45.280 --> 05:46.720 It's got a little bit of flexibility. 05:46.720 --> 05:48.160 It's got a little bit of cardio with the 05:48.160 --> 05:50.639 sweeping. Uh but and I say it's harder 05:50.639 --> 05:51.919 than it looks, but we've never had 05:51.919 --> 05:53.919 anyone not be able to do it. I've been 05:53.919 --> 05:56.479 curling for seven years now and I love 05:56.479 --> 06:00.160 it. And that's the beauty of curling is 06:00.160 --> 06:02.320 the whole family can get involved just 06:02.320 --> 06:05.680 like tennis, but it's um it's a sport 06:05.680 --> 06:08.240 that you can do at a beginner's level, 06:08.240 --> 06:10.639 intermediate, advanced, all the way up 06:10.639 --> 06:12.160 to the parolympics. 06:12.160 --> 06:14.479 >> The fascinating winter sport originated 06:14.479 --> 06:17.039 on frozen Scottish locks and ponds 06:17.039 --> 06:20.080 dating back to the 1500s. It's been a 06:20.080 --> 06:22.080 regular inclusion in the Winter Olympics 06:22.080 --> 06:23.520 since 1998. 06:23.520 --> 06:24.960 >> Of course, it's very popular in Canada 06:24.960 --> 06:26.400 and Scotland, but it's starting to 06:26.400 --> 06:28.319 spread in popularity across lots of 06:28.319 --> 06:30.000 different countries. So, as long as they 06:30.000 --> 06:31.759 can have access to a sheet of ice, they 06:31.759 --> 06:33.600 can start curling. And so, you're seeing 06:33.600 --> 06:36.400 a lot more um non-traditional uh is how 06:36.400 --> 06:37.840 I'll say it, uh countries that are 06:37.840 --> 06:39.360 starting to get into curling. You've got 06:39.360 --> 06:41.280 we've got Puerto Rico now, Kenya, 06:41.280 --> 06:43.440 Nigeria, Australia, New Zealand. So, 06:43.440 --> 06:46.000 it's really cool to see those countries 06:46.000 --> 06:47.919 get represented now in our sport. The 06:47.919 --> 06:50.319 best part though might be when the games 06:50.319 --> 06:52.720 are over. It looks kind of calm, but it 06:52.720 --> 06:54.639 is a lot of fun and it's kind of fierce. 06:54.639 --> 06:56.560 >> Yeah. And so now when you watch the 2026 06:56.560 --> 06:58.240 Olympics, you'll know what's going on. 06:58.240 --> 06:59.759 >> And now that it's all over and you 06:59.759 --> 07:01.120 finally know what you're supposed to do, 07:01.120 --> 07:02.880 now is the best part. This is where we 07:02.880 --> 07:04.400 all hang out afterwards. It's called 07:04.400 --> 07:06.400 Broom Stacking. Have a drink, chat with 07:06.400 --> 07:08.400 some good friends, and enjoy the time. 07:08.400 --> 07:11.039 But you're missing the very last step. 07:11.039 --> 07:13.280 That is what really separates you from a 07:13.280 --> 07:20.280 true fan, and that is the hats. Oh Lord. 07:20.639 --> 07:22.800 >> Hey, 07:22.800 --> 07:23.440 >> cheers. 07:23.440 --> 07:25.599 >> Cheers. 07:25.599 --> 07:28.240 >> Pop quiz hot shot in New York City about 07:28.240 --> 07:30.160 what percentage of households rent their 07:30.160 --> 07:34.080 homes versus owning them? 30% 50% 70 or 07:34.080 --> 07:37.080 90. 07:39.520 --> 07:42.160 If you said 70%, ding ding, you are 07:42.160 --> 07:44.400 correct. Nationwide, it's the opposite. 07:44.400 --> 07:47.680 About 65% of US households own their 07:47.680 --> 07:49.759 homes. New York City ranks number one 07:49.759 --> 07:51.840 for highest rent prices in the United 07:51.840 --> 07:54.639 States. Making housing more affordable 07:54.639 --> 07:56.560 has been one of the key promises of New 07:56.560 --> 07:58.720 York City's new mayor. But the crisis 07:58.720 --> 08:01.039 also contributes to another overwhelming 08:01.039 --> 08:03.840 problem in the city. Over 300,000 New 08:03.840 --> 08:06.400 Yorkers are unhoused. With many of them 08:06.400 --> 08:07.919 living on the streets. As the 08:07.919 --> 08:09.840 temperatures plunge, so do their odds of 08:09.840 --> 08:11.840 survival. And that has advocates and 08:11.840 --> 08:13.840 social workers working as fast as they 08:13.840 --> 08:15.680 can to get them into shelters. Our 08:15.680 --> 08:18.080 Gloria Pasmino has more. 08:18.080 --> 08:20.000 >> We're seeing who is on the street at 08:20.000 --> 08:22.960 this point in the day who might be in 08:22.960 --> 08:24.560 need of assistance, clients that we 08:24.560 --> 08:27.360 don't know, people that we are trying to 08:27.360 --> 08:28.319 connect with. 08:28.319 --> 08:30.479 >> At least 17 people have died during the 08:30.479 --> 08:32.800 cold temperatures in recent days. 08:32.800 --> 08:34.560 Several of them had previously 08:34.560 --> 08:36.479 interacted with the shelter system. 08:36.479 --> 08:39.200 Until we are thinking more holistically 08:39.200 --> 08:42.240 about how systems interact and and also 08:42.240 --> 08:45.279 developing housing uh at a scale that we 08:45.279 --> 08:47.120 haven't seen in a long time, you know, 08:47.120 --> 08:48.399 we are going to have to continue to 08:48.399 --> 08:50.160 wrestle with homelessness. The city's 08:50.160 --> 08:52.320 cold weather emergency has created a 08:52.320 --> 08:54.640 challenge for Mayor Zora Mandani. The 08:54.640 --> 08:57.040 city has opened additional shelters, 08:57.040 --> 08:58.959 increased bed capacity, and set up 08:58.959 --> 09:01.519 dozens of warming centers. But not 09:01.519 --> 09:04.399 everyone is receptive right away. Safe 09:04.399 --> 09:06.560 havens are only one part of the city's 09:06.560 --> 09:08.959 effort to combat a crisis that's been 09:08.959 --> 09:12.320 unfolding for years. More than 80,000 09:12.320 --> 09:14.959 New Yorkers live in city shelters. An 09:14.959 --> 09:17.839 additional 4,500 people are estimated to 09:17.839 --> 09:19.760 live on the street. These transitional 09:19.760 --> 09:21.920 shelters can be the beginning of 09:21.920 --> 09:25.959 recovery for some. 09:28.880 --> 09:30.640 Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. 09:30.640 --> 09:33.200 Father-son referee duo sharing a career 09:33.200 --> 09:36.880 milestone. High school wrestling refesen 09:36.880 --> 09:38.959 has been officiating for more than four 09:38.959 --> 09:41.360 decades. His son Jared followed in his 09:41.360 --> 09:43.440 footsteps and has nearly 20 years under 09:43.440 --> 09:46.560 his belt after being inspired by dad. 09:46.560 --> 09:48.640 Last week marked a special moment for 09:48.640 --> 09:50.880 the pair when they both took to the mats 09:50.880 --> 09:53.440 to officiate the Iowa State Wrestling 09:53.440 --> 09:55.279 Tournament. They've officiated together 09:55.279 --> 09:57.440 before, but they say this one means the 09:57.440 --> 09:59.200 most. This certainly is one of the 09:59.200 --> 10:00.880 greatest moments I think of our fishing 10:00.880 --> 10:02.560 aid career. It's something we've dreamed 10:02.560 --> 10:05.360 of of working together at the state 10:05.360 --> 10:07.600 tournament and and so this probably is 10:07.600 --> 10:09.680 the pinnacle I would I would say. 10:09.680 --> 10:12.000 >> Jared says each new meet allows the pair 10:12.000 --> 10:14.560 to grow closer bonding over their shared 10:14.560 --> 10:15.360 passion. 10:15.360 --> 10:17.839 >> I've watched hours and hours of my dad 10:17.839 --> 10:20.959 officiate and uh you know as one of he's 10:20.959 --> 10:23.120 in the Hall of Fame and so I wanted to 10:23.120 --> 10:24.480 learn from one of the best. 10:24.480 --> 10:26.320 >> All right superstars shout out time. 10:26.320 --> 10:28.399 Now, this first one from our CNN 10 10:28.399 --> 10:31.120 YouTube channel.
