[music] >> Yeah.
0:03Turn on the news today.
0:05Something wild is going down on Capitol Hill.
0:09Cameras flashing.
0:10>> [music] >> People shouting.
0:13And the secretary looking like he forgot his script.
0:17For real.
0:19He walked into that Senate room [music] thinking he was ready [singing] for the heat. Budget papers in his hand, but punches hit him off his feet. [music] Protesters outside the door screaming loud for all to hear. Cameras rolling, tension rising. This was not the plan [music] my dude. He said [singing] we follow every law, we fight to win, that's what we do. But the senators kept pushing back, said [music] words don't quite ring true. Mark Kelly stood up at the mic read the definition [singing] loud and clear. No quarter, no mercy, what does that mean when civilians live in fear?
0:43>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Then a voice rang through the room.
1:14Someone stood [music] and would not sit, called it out for all to hear. The whole chamber threw a fit. Guards moved in to clear the floor. The chairman called [music] for order fast, [singing] but the moment was already viral and the headline spread real fast. Then came Rosen at the mic. She had questions, she [singing] had receipts. Called out words that raised some flags, said the language missed [music] some beats.
1:28Spicer he said it again, standing firm and holding ground. Said it's accurate, nothing more, but the controversy stuck around.
1:40>> [music] [music and singing] [music] [music] [music and singing] [music] >> Somewhere in a Lego world little [music] bricks are telling the story.
2:29Little senators made of plastic.
2:32Little protesters [music] seeking glory.
2:34Little heads up at the podium.
2:37Little cameras, little lights.
2:39>> [music] >> Even in the world of Lego everybody still debates and fights. This is not about [music] just one man.
2:46This is bigger than one day.
2:49When the budget hits a trillion [music] everybody gets a say.
2:54History is being written whether cameras [music] love it or not.
2:59The hearing ended, people left.
3:02But the questions never stopped.
3:05>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [singing] >> A rarely [music] ending. Sarah Huckabee Sanders stepped up to the mic and told every reporter I'm going on a hike.
3:51[music] Not a hike in the mountains, not a walk in the park. She's heading to Boston before things get dark. Her baby is coming, [music] the due date is near.
3:59She told all the journalists, I'll see you next year. She said, you're [music] in good hands, my team's got the floor.
4:04She said, you've got the president's number, what more? She waved at the cameras, she smiled real wide, and walked off the podium with a baby inside.
4:12>> [music] [music] [music] >> Now while Huckabee is resting and preparing for birth, the pundits are spinning and questioning worth [music] of a second term agenda that's hitting some bumps. With critics on every channel discussing the staff changes are noted. Make this a wheel. High level officials completing [music] the deal.
4:48Some stepping aside, some moving along.
4:50The revolving door turning, [music] same old Washington song. Cabinet positions reviewed and assessed. Some names in the papers, some facing the press. This is not unusual. [music] History will say every administration has SEEN ITS OWN DAY.
5:04>> [music] [music] [music] >> Now the opinion [music] shows they are having a field day. Commentators spinning the story their way. One channel says crisis, another [music] says fine. Everybody drawing their own bottom line. But here are the facts [music] as we know them tonight. A woman is pregnant, she's doing all right. She made her announcement, [music] she followed the law. She took a leave legally, nothing more wrong. The Washington circus >> [music] >> continues to spin with talking heads out and talking heads in. But somewhere in Wooster a family grows. And that is the STORY THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS. AND NOW we
5:56transition [music] to something absurd.
5:57A YouTube trend rising, have you already heard? Iran over land animation [music] is taking the feed. Little plastic diplomats planting the seed. Foreign policy rendered in colorful blocks.
6:08World leaders assembled with Lego hair locks. The negotiations, [music] the tensions, the talks recreated in plastic on animated walks. Because when [music] the real news gets heavy and dense, the internet builds something that doesn't make sense. But somehow the message still manages to LAND WHEN LEGO DIPLOMATS SHAKE A TINY BRICK HANDS.
6:28>> [music] [music] >> THAT'S [music] YOUR BULLETIN for this evening. Stay informed.
6:49The stories keep coming, the cycle's confirmed. From Washington briefings to Lego [music] odd news, the mood scans away at the full of the moons. This has been your update, your brick airwaves.
6:59Grip a little [music] bit of lit for your listening relief. Goodnight from the Aggregated signing off clear. The next edition drops when the next story's [music] here.
