00:11.519 --> 00:13.280
What's up, sunshine, all the way from

00:13.280 --> 00:15.120
Cortina, Italy? Hope you're having a

00:15.120 --> 00:17.359
positively outstanding week so far. I've

00:17.359 --> 00:19.039
got your news for Wednesday, February

00:19.039 --> 00:21.119
18th. It's a your word Wednesday, so

00:21.119 --> 00:23.039
listen up to see if the vocabulary word

00:23.039 --> 00:25.119
you submitted helped us write today's

00:25.119 --> 00:28.960
show. Anjamo or let's go. We begin by

00:28.960 --> 00:31.119
honoring the life and legacy of civil

00:31.119 --> 00:33.280
rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson, who

00:33.280 --> 00:36.000
passed away yesterday at the age of 84.

00:36.000 --> 00:38.000
Jackson was a key member of Dr. Martin

00:38.000 --> 00:40.079
Luther King's inner circle at the height

00:40.079 --> 00:41.760
of the civil rights movement in the

00:41.760 --> 00:44.160
1960s. He would go on to become one of

00:44.160 --> 00:46.160
the most transformative civil rights

00:46.160 --> 00:48.160
leaders in American history, running for

00:48.160 --> 00:50.480
president twice and fundamentally

00:50.480 --> 00:52.399
changing the face of the Democratic

00:52.399 --> 00:54.559
party. His National Rainbow Push

00:54.559 --> 00:57.039
Coalition helped pave the way for a more

00:57.039 --> 00:59.760
inclusive party by focusing on equality,

00:59.760 --> 01:01.600
social justice, and philanthropic

01:01.600 --> 01:03.680
efforts. Our Abby Phillips has a look

01:03.680 --> 01:05.600
back at the enduring impact of his

01:05.600 --> 01:08.000
storied legacy.

01:08.000 --> 01:10.799
>> Jesse Jackson's life was defined by a

01:10.799 --> 01:12.720
relentless fight for justice and

01:12.720 --> 01:13.760
equality.

01:13.760 --> 01:16.000
>> I was born in Greenville, South Carolina

01:16.000 --> 01:19.680
in rampant radical racial segregation. I

01:19.680 --> 01:21.200
had to be taught to go to the back of

01:21.200 --> 01:22.960
the bus or be arrested.

01:22.960 --> 01:25.920
>> Those early experiences drove Jackson to

01:25.920 --> 01:27.600
join the civil rights movement.

01:27.600 --> 01:29.439
>> The fact is against the odds, we knew

01:29.439 --> 01:31.280
there were great odds. We were winning.

01:31.280 --> 01:34.400
>> In 1965, he began working for Reverend

01:34.400 --> 01:36.079
Martin Luther King Jr.

01:36.079 --> 01:37.920
>> I learned so much from him. Such a great

01:37.920 --> 01:40.799
source of inspiration.

01:40.799 --> 01:43.360
>> King named Jackson to lead Operation

01:43.360 --> 01:46.159
Bread Basket in Chicago, an economic

01:46.159 --> 01:48.320
justice campaign for black people.

01:48.320 --> 01:51.119
However, some say King was frustrated by

01:51.119 --> 01:53.439
Jackson's brashness and ambition.

01:53.439 --> 01:55.119
>> I'm sure he thought I needed more time.

01:55.119 --> 01:57.119
I was 24 years old.

01:57.119 --> 02:01.119
>> Both men were in Memphis in April 1968

02:01.119 --> 02:03.600
to support striking sanitation workers.

02:03.600 --> 02:05.920
King and other civil rights leaders were

02:05.920 --> 02:07.920
staying at the Lorraine Motel.

02:07.920 --> 02:09.200
>> He said, "Jesse, you know, you don't

02:09.200 --> 02:10.479
even have on a shirt and tie. You don't

02:10.479 --> 02:11.920
even have on a tie. We're going to

02:11.920 --> 02:14.000
dinner." I said, "Doctor does not

02:14.000 --> 02:17.280
require a tie, just an appetite." And we

02:17.280 --> 02:19.520
laughed. I said, "Doc." And the bullet

02:19.520 --> 02:21.840
hit.

02:21.840 --> 02:24.319
Everything changed at that moment. It

02:24.319 --> 02:26.560
was a defining moment in the history of

02:26.560 --> 02:29.200
our struggle.

02:29.200 --> 02:31.680
With King gone, his movement was a

02:31.680 --> 02:34.319
drift. Years later, Jackson formed

02:34.319 --> 02:37.040
Operation Push, pressuring businesses to

02:37.040 --> 02:39.440
open up to black workers and customers

02:39.440 --> 02:41.360
and adding more focus on black

02:41.360 --> 02:44.800
responsibility, championed in the 1972

02:44.800 --> 02:47.840
concert WATT STACKS. IN WHAT WE HAVE

02:47.840 --> 02:51.040
SHIFTED FROM BURN BABY BURN to learn

02:51.040 --> 02:53.040
baby learn

02:53.040 --> 02:55.920
>> and he expanded his own global reach too

02:55.920 --> 02:58.239
helping to free US Lieutenant Robert

02:58.239 --> 03:00.480
Goodman who was held by Syria after

03:00.480 --> 03:02.879
being shot down and later other

03:02.879 --> 03:05.680
Americans held in Cuba and Serbia

03:05.680 --> 03:07.040
>> I learned how to negotiate as an

03:07.040 --> 03:08.560
African-American growing up among white

03:08.560 --> 03:13.440
people you have to negotiate every day

03:13.440 --> 03:15.599
>> the reverend set his sights on the White

03:15.599 --> 03:17.920
House in 1984

03:17.920 --> 03:19.920
>> milking cows in Iowa. They're coming

03:19.920 --> 03:23.200
back to the inner cities. So, I learned

03:23.200 --> 03:25.040
a lot during that period.

03:25.040 --> 03:26.640
>> First thought of as a marginal

03:26.640 --> 03:29.200
candidate. Jackson finished third in the

03:29.200 --> 03:34.680
primary race with 18% of the vote.

03:36.720 --> 03:38.959
>> That campaign almost went off the rails

03:38.959 --> 03:41.519
when Jackson used an ethnic slur to

03:41.519 --> 03:43.519
refer to New York Jews.

03:43.519 --> 03:46.080
>> Just mistakes and and they hurt. He ran

03:46.080 --> 03:49.760
again in 1988, this time doubling his

03:49.760 --> 03:52.159
vote count and finishing in second in

03:52.159 --> 03:53.840
the Democratic race.

03:53.840 --> 03:56.480
>> Keep open

03:56.480 --> 03:57.280
night.

03:57.280 --> 03:59.519
>> At the time, it was the farthest any

03:59.519 --> 04:01.120
black candidate had gone in a

04:01.120 --> 04:03.120
presidential contest.

04:03.120 --> 04:04.560
>> But 20 years later, when President

04:04.560 --> 04:07.040
Barack ran, we were laying the

04:07.040 --> 04:08.799
groundwork for that season.

04:08.799 --> 04:12.000
>> In 2017, Jackson had a new battle to

04:12.000 --> 04:15.200
fight. Parkinson's disease. But that

04:15.200 --> 04:16.799
didn't stop him.

04:16.799 --> 04:18.639
>> If you hold on, if your cause is right

04:18.639 --> 04:21.120
and your grip is tight, you'll make it.

04:21.120 --> 04:23.440
>> Late in life, he was still fighting. He

04:23.440 --> 04:25.120
was arrested in Washington while

04:25.120 --> 04:27.120
demonstrating for voting rights. His

04:27.120 --> 04:29.280
silent presence at the trial of Ahmad

04:29.280 --> 04:31.840
Arbur's killers prompted defense lawyers

04:31.840 --> 04:34.400
to ask that he leave the courtroom.

04:34.400 --> 04:36.080
Jackson stayed.

04:36.080 --> 04:36.639
>> I am

04:36.639 --> 04:37.759
>> I am somebody.

04:37.759 --> 04:38.720
>> Somebody

04:38.720 --> 04:42.000
>> I am somebody.

04:42.000 --> 04:44.240
From the Jim Crow South through the

04:44.240 --> 04:47.360
turbulent 60s and into the Black Lives

04:47.360 --> 04:50.160
Matter movement, Jesse Jackson was a

04:50.160 --> 04:56.040
constant, unyielding voice for justice.

04:58.800 --> 05:00.880
Now to the Great Lakes, where a storied

05:00.880 --> 05:03.199
shipwreck as old as the American Civil

05:03.199 --> 05:05.040
War has finally been uncovered at the

05:05.040 --> 05:07.120
bottom of Lake Michigan following a

05:07.120 --> 05:09.440
decadesl long search. Our Zayn Heinland

05:09.440 --> 05:12.560
has more on the sinkly incredible find.

05:12.560 --> 05:14.560
>> A shipwreck hunter found a ship he's

05:14.560 --> 05:17.600
been looking for since 1965.

05:17.600 --> 05:21.360
This is the Lac label, a 217 ft steamer

05:21.360 --> 05:24.880
built in 1864. About 2 hours into a trip

05:24.880 --> 05:28.000
on Lake Michigan in 1872. The ship began

05:28.000 --> 05:31.120
to take on water. 53 passengers and crew

05:31.120 --> 05:33.600
evacuated on lifeboats and the ship sank

05:33.600 --> 05:35.600
stern first. One of the lifeboats

05:35.600 --> 05:37.759
capsized on the way to shore, killing

05:37.759 --> 05:39.840
eight people. Shipwreck hunter Paul

05:39.840 --> 05:41.919
Ehhorn and his team found the ship in

05:41.919 --> 05:44.400
2022 after a clue led them to the right

05:44.400 --> 05:47.280
spot. They used sidecan sonar to spot

05:47.280 --> 05:49.840
the wreckage between Rine and Kenosha,

05:49.840 --> 05:52.080
Wisconsin. Ehorn told the Associated

05:52.080 --> 05:54.080
Press that his team was able to go down

05:54.080 --> 05:56.479
to make a 3D video model of the ship

05:56.479 --> 05:58.160
last summer. They recently released

05:58.160 --> 06:00.240
photos of their discovery. The boat's

06:00.240 --> 06:02.160
one of thousands of shipwrecks believed

06:02.160 --> 06:03.919
to still be at the bottom of the Great

06:03.919 --> 06:06.639
Lakes.

06:06.639 --> 06:08.639
>> Pop quiz hot shot. What color is the

06:08.639 --> 06:11.360
famous front door of 10 Downing Street?

06:11.360 --> 06:15.639
Red, blue, black, or green?

06:19.440 --> 06:22.080
If you said black, you are correct. The

06:22.080 --> 06:24.000
residence of the United Kingdom's prime

06:24.000 --> 06:26.160
minister was originally dark oak wood.

06:26.160 --> 06:27.840
Over time, it was painted black to

06:27.840 --> 06:29.759
protect the wood from weather and wear.

06:29.759 --> 06:31.840
Today's residence has a reinforced

06:31.840 --> 06:34.800
security door made of steel.

06:34.800 --> 06:37.039
At 10 Downing Street, there's one very

06:37.039 --> 06:39.039
dedicated staffer who's been on site for

06:39.039 --> 06:41.600
more than a decade. For 15 years, Larry

06:41.600 --> 06:44.560
the Cat has been on patrol as Chief

06:44.560 --> 06:46.319
Mouser, greeting guests, guarding the

06:46.319 --> 06:48.639
grounds, and keeping the place perfectly

06:48.639 --> 06:51.440
in order. Let's meet the longtime feline

06:51.440 --> 06:54.240
fixture there. This cat has outlasted

06:54.240 --> 06:56.560
five British prime ministers and he's

06:56.560 --> 06:58.800
just hit a major milestone. Larry the

06:58.800 --> 07:01.440
cat is celebrating 15 years as the chief

07:01.440 --> 07:03.440
mouser at 10 Downing Street. The

07:03.440 --> 07:06.240
19-year-old tabby was adopted in 2011 by

07:06.240 --> 07:08.080
then Prime Minister David Cameron for

07:08.080 --> 07:10.240
his mousing skills. Since then, he

07:10.240 --> 07:12.080
served under six prime ministers,

07:12.080 --> 07:14.400
becoming an unlikely symbol of stability

07:14.400 --> 07:16.479
during some of the UK's most turbulent

07:16.479 --> 07:18.080
political years. Larry's career

07:18.080 --> 07:20.080
highlights include sitting under Trump's

07:20.080 --> 07:22.160
armored limo, the beast, and briefly

07:22.160 --> 07:23.759
delaying the motorcade from moving

07:23.759 --> 07:26.240
during his 2019 visit to the UK,

07:26.240 --> 07:27.919
officially welcoming high-profile

07:27.919 --> 07:29.840
politicians to Downing Street, beefing

07:29.840 --> 07:31.280
with his co-orker, a cat named

07:31.280 --> 07:32.960
Palmerston, who worked at the foreign

07:32.960 --> 07:34.880
office across the street, famously

07:34.880 --> 07:36.720
caught on camera, chasing other animals

07:36.720 --> 07:39.840
to secure the office's surroundings,

07:39.840 --> 07:44.360
as well as keeping an eye on the press.

07:48.000 --> 07:49.840
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. A

07:49.840 --> 07:52.080
Girl Scout in Pennsylvania who was thin

07:52.080 --> 07:54.400
meant to win it. Meet six-year-old Pim

07:54.400 --> 07:57.039
Neil. The Girl Scout delivering joy and

07:57.039 --> 08:00.080
cookies, selling over 80,000 boxes

08:00.080 --> 08:02.560
across all 50 states, setting a new

08:02.560 --> 08:05.520
state record for a single season. Pim

08:05.520 --> 08:07.680
used social media to go far beyond her

08:07.680 --> 08:09.199
neighborhood, reaching millions of

08:09.199 --> 08:11.440
viewers and turning online buzz into

08:11.440 --> 08:13.759
real world orders. Hi, my name is Pim.

08:13.759 --> 08:15.120
Do you want to buy some Girl Scout

08:15.120 --> 08:15.759
cookies?

08:15.759 --> 08:17.360
>> The next day, I was like, "Oh, this is

08:17.360 --> 08:18.960
like a million people have seen this.

08:18.960 --> 08:20.000
This is crazy."

08:20.000 --> 08:21.680
>> And you, Peanut Butter, believe that

08:21.680 --> 08:23.520
she's going to inspire others to tag

08:23.520 --> 08:26.000
along on her idea. The viral moment is

08:26.000 --> 08:28.080
bringing new energy and attention to the

08:28.080 --> 08:29.919
Girl Scouts program.

08:29.919 --> 08:32.159
>> For us, this has never happened. So,

08:32.159 --> 08:33.680
this is very exciting that we're getting

08:33.680 --> 08:36.240
to, you know, bring people into Girl

08:36.240 --> 08:38.240
Scouts Western Pennsylvania. Pimp

08:38.240 --> 08:40.560
thought outside the box and delivered

08:40.560 --> 08:42.800
thousands of them with pure dough

08:42.800 --> 08:44.720
termination, helping to inspire the next

08:44.720 --> 08:47.519
generation of entrepreneurs. Speaking of

08:47.519 --> 08:49.279
delivering, we had some awesome

08:49.279 --> 08:50.880
submissions for your word Wednesday.

08:50.880 --> 08:53.120
Today's winner is Mrs. Patterson at

08:53.120 --> 08:55.040
Thurman White Academy of the Performing

08:55.040 --> 08:57.680
Arts in Henderson, Nevada, for

08:57.680 --> 08:59.760
submitting philanthropic, an adjective

08:59.760 --> 09:01.440
meaning of, relating to, or

09:04.640 --> 09:06.640
welfare of others, especially by

09:06.640 --> 09:08.880
donating money to good causes. Well

09:08.880 --> 09:10.240
done. Thank you for boosting our

09:10.240 --> 09:12.880
vocabulary today. And I have one very

special shout out today from right here

someone smile today. I'm Coy Wire and we
