| 0:00.0 | Today is Tuesday, January 7th. We are talking about how the power is starting to shift in both |
| 0:05.0 | American and Canadian politics this week. Also, more extreme weather, from unusually strong |
| 0:10.5 | winds out west to a major snowstorm in the east. Plus, how former President Jimmy Carter is |
| 0:16.0 | being honored today. Why a wild ride in a self-driving car is reigniting a safety debate and what tech |
| 0:22.3 | inventions have been unveiled so far this week with many more to come. Those stories and even more |
| 0:27.1 | news coming up. Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the day's news in around 10 minutes. Fast, |
| 0:35.3 | fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being here. |
| 0:39.9 | You ready? Let's do this. Congress certified President-elect Trump's election victory this week |
| 0:48.3 | in just 30 minutes. Not a single lawmaker protested the votes. And unlike four years ago, |
| 0:53.7 | no angry crowd stormed |
| 0:54.9 | the Capitol and no lawmakers had to be evacuated. Vice President Harris announced the final result |
| 0:59.9 | since it was her job as president of the Senate. And even though it meant certifying her own defeat, |
| 1:05.1 | Harris told reporters she had no problem defending the Constitution and supporting a peaceful |

| 1:22.7 | He's going to resign as Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister. |
| 1:45.4 | Trudeau told Canadians he wanted them to have a better choice in the next election, set to happen later this year. He'll stay in office until a successor is chosen. Liberal lawmakers are holding an emergency meeting to discuss next steps tomorrow. In response to the news, Trump suggested the U.S. merge with Canada saying Canadian taxes would go down and they would be more secure. Trump has been mentioning this for months now, |
| 1:50.5 | and typically it's been perceived as a joke, though he has also seriously suggested plans to expand American territory in some way. Legal troubles are still piling up for one of |
| 1:57.6 | President-elect Trump's top allies over his actions in the aftermath of the |
| 2:01.2 | 2020 election. This week, Rudy Giuliani was found in contempt of court for not handing over |
| 2:06.4 | evidence in a defamation case. It's a development that could lead to more fines or even jail time. |
