Brian Lear on WNYC, and as I said before the news, once again, this membership drive,

we're having a 10-question news quiz or news-related quiz right around 11 o'clock to break up all the seriousness and the

fundraising with a little fun and give away some prizes. Today it's a numbers in the news quiz

quiz, get two in a row right, and choose between a public radio nerd mug or the peace love and

Brian Lera t-shirt. Who wants to play?, 212, 433, WNYC, 433, 9692?

And as I said earlier, the first question is so easy that I gave you the answer in advance.

It's the number 250.

See if you can figure out the question.

And we're going to start with Becca in Long Island

City. Hey, Becca, ready to play? Yep, I think so. All right. I gave the answer, 250. Did you

figure out the question? The birthday of the United States. That is right. How old is our country? All right. So that was just to see if you were awake.

And now question two for a t-shirt or a mug. In 2024, about a third of the voters in Tennessee voted for Democrats for Congress.

How many Democratic districts would there be in the new gerrymander that the state approved last week?

You got the question?

None.

None.

Zero is correct.

Would you like a Peace Love and Brian Laira t-shirt or a public radio nerd mug?

A t-shirt.

Okay, we're going to take your address off the air, Becca.

Thanks for playing.

Let's go next to James in Los Angeles.
