Music What's up sunshine?
2
Happy Friday, Fri-yay!
3
I'm Koi Wire.
4
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
5
It's the first of the month.
6
We have your 10 minutes of news for May 1st,
7
May Day, or International Workers Day.
8
A 135 year old holiday observed in 95 countries.
9
It honors workers' rights and their right to fair labor conditions.
10
We are also waking up our brains with some awesome stories today.
11
This show hits like a drumline on double espressos today.
12
We begin with a major ruling from the United States Supreme Court,
13
one that could redraw more than just maps.
14
It could redraw the future of elections.
15
In a 6-3 decision, the court struck down a new congressional map in Louisiana,
16
which is about 30% black.
17
For years, the state had one majority black district.
18
This case was about a second black,
19
mostly Democratic district added to the state's map in 2024.
20
The justices say lawmakers lean too heavily on race when drawing those lines,
21
calling it an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
22
Here's our Boris Sanchez to explain the difference between redistricting and gerrymandering.
23
Redistricting has sparked major political and legal battles,
24
but what exactly is it?
25
Let's break it down using this hypothetical imaginary state as an example.
26
Say our state has allocated five congressional districts based on its population.
27
Each district should hold about the same number of people so that its representation in Congress is equal.
28
Redistricting typically happens every 10 years following the release of the U.S.
29
Census.
30
So 10 years later, the newest census shows us that our imaginary state still has the same number of people,
31
but many have moved around to different neighborhoods.
32
So the state redraws its five districts to balance things out.
33
The new map isn't quite as neat,
34
but it is better representative of where people live.
35
Now, what if our state's voters leaned something like this?
36
Under these new district lines,
37
the balance of power is three seats for party A,
38
two for party B.
39
And say in our hypothetical that party A is in charge of drawing the map.
40
They may be inclined to redistrict in a way that boosts their party's advantage.
41
So they might redraw their lines something like this,
42
shifting the balance of power to four seats for A and just one for B.
43
When district lines are drawn this way to give one party more power,
44
that is called gerrymandering.
45
And what's the result?
46
Voters might not be fairly represented.
47
What's not hypothetical?
48
Both Democrats and Republicans use gerrymandering across the country.
49
Under current law, racial gerrymandering or drawing lines to minimize the voting power of a specific racial group is illegal.
50
But partisan gerrymandering is allowed under federal law,
51
and there are ongoing arguments about what a fair map really looks like.
52
This ruling also deals a blow to sanctions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act,
53
a cornerstone law meant to protect against racial discrimination in voting.
54
Here's our Laura Coates on how this could affect elections in the future.
55
Now, technically, the court did not strike down Section 2 entirely,
56
two entirely, but they just made it nearly impossible to prove a violation of Section Two
57
because now you have to prove that the district was drawn really with intentional discrimination,
58
not just that it resulted in unequal outcomes.
59
And that's an extremely high standard that could very well prove to be insurmountable in most cases.
60
Now, with Section Five, the formula case already gutted,
61
this effectively gut Section Two and the test
62
that has been used for more than four decades to protect minority voting power from being diluted.
63
And the consideration of race to try to correct racial discrimination in voting no longer has any power.
64
Now many wonder what's left then of what has been called one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation.
65
Now the immediate impact that's unknown.
66
A lot A lot of primaries are coming up,
67
midterms in a few months.
68
But this is sure to have lasting consequences in the years to come,
69
particularly when the new census data comes out.
70
And you can be sure that future maps,
71
they're gonna look a whole lot different.
72
Pop quiz hotshot.
73
What did Vikings use as an early form of currency?
74
Whale bones, silver arm rings,
75
wooden beads, or shark teeth?
76
If you said silver arm rings,
77
before coins took over, Vikings operated in bullion economy using silver jewelry as currency,
78
so technically Vikings were dripping in their savings accounts.
79
Archaeologists in Norway just hit the historical jackpot.
80
Nearly 3,000 silver coins unearthed in a single field.
81
We are talking coins from the 980s AD to the 1040s.
82
Experts say most of the coins are English and German with some Danish and Norwegian mixed in.
83
A thoroughly impressive collection and proof that Vikings weren't just fierce fighters,
84
they were global traders before globalization was even a word.
85
And get this, it all started with two detectorists finding just 19 coins from pocket change to low-key historic hall.
86
Archaeologists are still digging, hoping to uncover more clues about how wealth,
87
trade, and treasure flowed back then.
88
Turns out Vikings didn't just leave legends, they left receipts.
89
Now to an incredible comeback attempt.
90
Alison Felix, the most decorated woman in Olympic track history,
91
is lacing them back up at 40 years old,
92
some four years after hanging up her cleats.
93
11 Olympic medals, 20 world medals, two kids, zero limits.
94
She told Time, let's go after the thing.
95
Let's be vulnerable.
96
That's not just a quote,
97
that's a mic drop in motion.
98
She has her sights set on the 2028 Summer Olympics in her hometown, Los Angeles.
99
Felix retired from track following the Tokyo Olympics in 2021,
100
where she won gold after giving birth to her daughter.
101
In Allison's case, greatness doesn't retire.
102
Apparently, it just reloads.
103
Meanwhile, another legend is keeping us on our toes literally simone
104
biles the most decorated gymnast ever says her olympic future is
105
still up in the air she told cnn sports amanda davis
106
that her mental health will play a major role in whether
107
she competes in 2028 i know you've said you feel you
108
will be at la 28 in some capacity exactly uh do you have any more indication
109
which capacity heads i feel like we're still at a 50
110
50 i admit we're still on a time crunch here now it's almost
111
half of 2026 so we're gonna have to make these decisions pretty quickly
112
so what will it depend on what are the considerations i think mental health plays a big role in it
113
because again physically my coaches will get me in shape i can get myself in shape we believe in
114
that ability we're really thankful that i'm still healthy
115
but mental is a huge thing and and it's a lot of dedication on
116
that because the road's not easy it's long but it's still work and yeah the risks versus the rewards.
117
Exactly.
118
You might remember Simone Biles stepped back during the Tokyo Games after experiencing the twisties,
119
a mental block that can throw off even the best in the world.
120
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10,

123
He lives at the Kentucky Derby Museum and his job,
124
emotional support animal for other animals.
125
Yes, the Kentucky Derby is this weekend in Louisville.
126
And when racehorses retire and transition into the stable life,
127
it can be stressful like going from rock star tours to quiet suburb vibes overnight.
128
That's where Ari trots in,
129
bringing calm, companionship, and a little horse-to-horse therapy for thoroughbreds who will hopefully be adopted.
130
Oh, and for the visitors,
131

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
