in her primary race in Wyoming. We'll also have the latest from Alaska where Sarah Palin

is trying to make her come back and make it to Congress. We had a major ruling on Tuesday

from the FDA in regards to hearing aids making those cheaper. I'll tell you all about

that as well as a new technology that has been invented that brings close captioning

to the death in the real world in their conversations. It's a really fascinating breakthrough. Out West

will tell you about the states that are going to see major cuts to their water supply.

This is because of the record low levels of Colorado River. And there's some new technology
