Summary

Chilean voters recently rejected an extremely progressive (and extremely long at 170 pages) constitution. It would have ensured animal rights, as well as rights to "neurodiversity" and "digital disconnection." Ted Piccone of Brookings and the World Justice Project examines if Chile's new constitution was too progressive or just too long. Plus, can't we just enjoy the moment when the President went asking for a dead lady? And in the Antwentig, mo' Skimo than you ever hoped for.

0:52.8	So the president was, as you all know, you guys were watching today's event, a very important event
0:59.4	on food insecurity. The president was naming the congressional champions on this issue,
1:04.8	and was acknowledging her incredible work. He had already planned to welcome the Congresswoman's
1:12.0	family to the White House on Friday. There will be a bill signing in her honor this coming Friday.

1:42.8	Why was he asking for the dead lady? Karen Jean Pierre answered, well, why wouldn't he ask for
1:47.5	Jackie Wolorski? She's just a very important person in terms of passing this landmark legislation.
1:53.0	Of course, you're going to be thinking about Jackie Wolorski, and apparently Karen Jean Pierre
