It's not easy keeping up with the news—especially when you're a parent. Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus know that well. And while they can't get your kids to school on time (and without ketchup in their hair—ask Mary Katharine about that one), they can break down the news you need to know. Put the kids to bed, pour yourself a drink, and join us twice a week for Getting Hammered.
The news to know for Wednesday, November 29, 2023!
We're telling you about new, large shipments of humanitarian aid the U.S. military is sending to Gaza and what the Biden administration is asking of Israel once the war restarts.
Also, freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and strong winds that even brought down the national Christmas tree: we'll tell you what Americans are in store for next.
Plus, we're talking about a huge milestone that could pave the way for greener air travel, how people are expected to use the newest AI chatbot, and what songs made up the soundtrack to 2023.
How much of a threat is AI to elections with new disclosure rules from big platforms in place? What's going on with infant mortality trends? And why can't we test for more illnesses at home? Zachary Karabell and Emma Varvaloucas are back to discuss the latest news stories we might have missed.

When a slogan of war suddenly becomes a call to peace. Also on the show, we pick back up where we left off with the New York Times' David Leonhardt. His new book is Ours Was The Shining Future: The Story of the American Dream. Plus, the refused-to-be-addressed crisis at the border.
What happens now that Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend the ongoing ceasefire? Ravi is joined by guest co-host Isaac Saul to discuss the current status of the war and its likely outcomes.
While Palestinians and Israelis deal with the realities on the ground, the conflict has also exposed growing strife in the U.S. that’s left businesses and corporations scrambling to respond. But why do so many institutions feel obligated to issue statements about world events? The hosts look to Jonathan Chait’s latest piece in New York Magazine to help answer this question.
Ravi and Isaac then review a new report from PEN America, which found that over one million teachers and 100,000 professors are now under “educational gag orders,” and break down how these laws hinder teachers and educators from doing their jobs.
Finally, New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently announced sweeping budget cuts that include reducing the number of police officers to the lowest amount since the 1990s and mid-year budget cuts to 43% of the city’s schools. Adams has blamed the city’s $7 billion budget crisis on the city’s influx of migrants. Will this be the issue that tears New York City apart?

On today's podcast, I provide the first of my impressions on a weeklong trip to Israel and what it feels like to be in a country at war—even during this strange period when the rocket fire has stopped and the hostages are being dribbled out by Hamas. The podcast crew joins me in wondering how stiff the spines of Joe Biden and the Israelis can and will remain as Hamas continues to play the hostage card. Give a listen.
Hope more hostages will be released during extended pause in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Farewell to a first lady. A-I at your doctor's office. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.
If you just looked at a map and saw a sea of blue, you might think that the water is just sitting there, but it's not.
The oceans are constantly moving, and it isn’t just waves and tides that move. There are enormous rivers of water flowing through the oceans, near the surface, and near the seafloor, which influence the Earth’s climate and its weather patterns.
Learn more about ocean currents and how they affect the planet on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
