FULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Part One

Marina Litvinenko
At this point, no one's sure whether a former Russian spy in critical condition was poisoned — and even Marina Litvinenko, whose husband Alexander was likely murdered by the Kremlin, is being cautious. 

Trump Tariff: CEO
While other business owners are upset about the U.S. President's tariff threats, Canadian steel tube magnate Barry Zekelman is upbeat — offering his workers an annual bonus, if those tariffs become official. 

Queen of Conch
A big honking deal. You may call it a "CAWNCH" or you may call it a "CONK", but whichever you choose, you'd better call Mary Lou Smith the queen of it — and tonight, we'll get the Florida retiree on the horn. 

Part Two

Queen Assassination
Well, obviously, a teenager in New Zealand didn't succeed in assassinating the Queen — but until a local journalist uncovered the story, officials had succeeded in keeping the attempt quiet for more than 36 years. 

Castile Lunches
He was a Minnesota school cafeteria worker killed by police in 2016 — and now, a fundraising effort in the name of the late Philando Castile will cover the lunch debts of every student in St. Paul.

Part Three

Nova Scotia Rescue
A Nova Scotia bus driver saves the life of a 19-year-old man — after realizing a photo a friend had shown him contained a clue to the missing man's whereabouts. 

Italian Election
After Sunday's general election in Italy, the country's two main anti-establishment parties are both setting their sights on power.
