A new study has found that damaged or diseased coral reefs can be rejuvenated with recordings of healthy reef systems.  Coral reefs are abundant ecosystems filled with plants and aquatic life that bumble with sound when they are thriving. And the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at MIT recently learned that those sounds help coral larvae decide where to grow.  “So a lot of us think about reefs as these really tranquil‚ calm places‚” Nadège Aoki‚ a doctoral candidate at WHOI‚ said in a YouTube video. “But they’re actually bursting with sound. And all of that sound produces a really distinct acoustic signature for a healthy reef.”  As adults‚ coral is immobile. But as larvae‚ they swim or drift and select their habitat. Once they choose a system to settle in‚ they will attach themselves to the seafloor and grow. Previously‚ scientists knew that the larvae would make their selection based on chemical and light cues. But it wasn’t until now that they understood the importance of sound.  In 2022‚ WHOI scientists conducted two studies on separate three reef systems. A paper published in Royal Society Open Science explained that after those studies‚ they learned that “you can actively induce coral settlement by playing sounds.”  “You can go to a reef that is degraded in some way and add in the sounds of biological activity from a healthy reef‚ potentially helping this really important step in the coral life cycle‚” Nadège wrote in a press release.  Sound is a Tool That Could “Potentially” Rebuild Dying Coral Reefs For the study‚ WHOI collected Porites astreoides larvae and left them in cups near three reefs along the coast of St John Island. One reef called Tektite was relatively healthy while the others‚ Salt Pond and Cocoloba‚ were degraded.  The researchers left underwater speakers next to Salt Pond and played the sounds of a healthy coral reef system. They left cups one‚ five‚ 10‚ and 30 meters from the speakers and let the sounds play for three nights. They left the same number of cups the same distances away from the other two reefs. But did not play the sounds.  When they returned‚ they saw that the coral larvae settled in Salt Pond at rates up to 1.7 times higher than Tektite or Cocoloba. The highest settlement was five meters from the speakers. But even the cups sitting 30 meters away had more settlement than any spot near the other two reefs.  The second study‚ done two months later‚ had the same results.  “The fact that settlement is consistently decreasing with distance from the speaker‚ when all else is kept constant‚ is particularly important because it shows that these changes are due to the added sound and not other factors‚” marine biologist Aran Mooney wrote in the release.  Aran said that the information gives scientists an easily accessible tool that could “potentially” rebuild important reef systems.  “It appears to be one of the most scalable tools that can be applied to rebuild reefs‚” added microbial ecologist Amy Apprill. “So we’re really excited about that potential.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.  The post New Discovery Could Help Save Coral Reefs Across The Globe appeared first on InspireMore.

In the enormous expanse of social media‚ figures such as Andrew Tate have gained prominence for propagating what some refer to as “toxic masculinity.” According to Jago Sherman‚ Head of Strategy at Goat Agency‚ these influencers frequently make broad‚ sweeping promises‚ promising instant fixes to difficult challenges. He goes on to say‚ “Sometimes this ‘shock factor’ content can outperform lengthier‚ thought-provoking‚ neutral content.” A countermovement emerges Contrary to the sensationalism of toxic influencers‚ there is a quieter countermovement led by influencers that focus on mental health‚ fitness‚ well-being‚ parenting‚ self-love‚ and anti-knife crime. Sherman argues that while these influencers may not make news‚ they are actively influencing the narrative surrounding masculinity. Labour’s initiative to promote positive masculinity Responding to the need for a more positive approach in the UK‚ Labour has suggested a plan to train mentors in schools. These mentors‚ recruited from the student body‚ seek to oppose the misogynistic perspective promoted by influences such as Andrew Tate. The approach also includes teaching students critical analysis skills so they may better navigate the media ecosystem. Positive masculinity in the spotlight Positive male role models have broken through to become household names. Figures such as fitness guru Joe Wicks‚ often known as The Body Coach‚ have created large followings by providing straightforward advice in an approachable manner. Russ Cook‚ Instagram’s “hardest geezer‚” exemplifies a positive attitude by organizing charity stunts that raise revenue and exposure for charities while engaging a large audience. Russ Cook’s mission: run the length of Africa Russ Cook‚ known as Instagram’s “hardest geezer‚” has embarked on an extraordinary endeavor that extends far beyond social media bravado. His year-long attempt to run the length of Africa from tip to toe is more than just a physical marvel; it also demonstrates his commitment to good change. Cook is set to finish in April‚ having raised nearly £200‚000 (about $255‚000) for the Running Charity and Sandblast‚ demonstrating the transformative power of social media impact for a humanitarian cause. Cook’s journey has captivated the interest of nearly a million followers across his numerous social networks‚ demonstrating that meaningful content can go beyond spectacular shows of bravado. His project not only questions traditional ideals of masculinity but also inspires a new generation to participate in humanitarian work and self-improvement. Overlooking the impact on boys Saul Parker‚ CEO of The Good Side‚ advises against focusing primarily on misogyny in conversations about toxic influencers. He observes that‚ although young women are encouraged to seek positive role models for their own benefit‚ young males are frequently pushed to do so in order to improve their treatment of women. This overlooks the potential harm that toxic influencers might cause to boys and young men themselves. Moving beyond casual misogyny The danger lies in focusing entirely on misogyny‚ which may allow a new generation of toxic influencers to go undiscovered. Parker highlights influencers such as David Goggins‚ who emphasizes self-discipline and motivation without mentioning women or sex. Parker said‚ “Taking women out of the equation doesn’t make it any less problematic; it just means that it’s hard to find a sharp point because he doesn’t say anything hateful.” Nudging toward a positive vision Developing a more favorable view of masculinity necessitates deliberate efforts. Boys‚ shaped by a challenging discourse about patriarchy‚ frequently struggle and feel the need for assistance. Parker emphasizes the necessity of recognizing young men’s issues and diverting their attention to more positive role models. Building a brighter future for masculinity While toxic influencers make news‚ a rising group of influencers is actively changing the narrative about masculinity. A better future can be achieved by highlighting positive role models‚ improving mental health‚ and encouraging critical thinking. It is critical to understand young men’s challenges and provide them with the assistance they require to embrace a healthier masculinity.The post Redefining masculinity: influencers lead the charge against toxic narratives first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

In the wonderful world of bumblebees‚ a stunning discovery calls into question the idea that intelligence is entirely determined by brain size. These tiny insects‚ with brains the size of a seed‚ have astounded scientists by exhibiting a degree of collective intelligence previously thought to be unique to humans. According to the study’s authors‚ “This finding challenges a common opinion in the field: that the capacity to socially learn behaviors that cannot be innovated through individual trial and error is unique to humans.” Breaking human-centric boundaries: bees and the evolution of intelligence The long-held idea that humans have a monopoly on certain characteristics of intellect is constantly shifting. From cultural customs to precise tool use‚ animal communities‚ including bumblebees‚ are rewriting the storyline. Even with their little minds‚ bumblebees‚ like chimps‚ call into question the concept of human exceptionalism. According to Alex Thornton‚ an ecologist at the University of Exeter‚ “Bumblebees join chimpanzees in ‘casting serious doubt on this supposed human exceptionalism.'” Bumblebees: a journey from underestimation to scientific marvels Bumblebees‚ which are commonly underestimated due to their size‚ are emerging as scientific marvels. Recent laboratory trials demonstrate their ability to learn‚ utilize tools‚ count‚ and solve simple mathematical equations. Their hive mind’s collective intellect demonstrates the complexity lurking beneath these buzzing beauties. As behavioral scientist Alice Bridges states‚ “The collective intelligence of their hive mind is also not to be dismissed.” To determine the level of bumblebee intelligence‚ researchers provided them with a two-step challenge. The bees‚ which were of the Bombus terrestris species‚ struggled to solve it on their own‚ despite having up to a third of their lifetime foraging time available. However‚ once one bee cracked the code‚ it was able to efficiently teach others‚ demonstrating a novel type of collaborative learning. According to the study‘s authors‚ “To teach the ‘demonstrator’ bees the non-intuitive solution in the first place‚ researchers had to show them what to do and offer them a reward after the first step to keep them motivated.” Bumblebee culture: passing knowledge across generations While the observed behavior necessitated initial instruction‚ it opened the door to the intriguing prospect of a shared bee culture. Similar to the honey waggle dance‚ which was once thought to be instinctive‚ these discoveries point to the potential for rare innovators in bee society‚ whose ideas could alter future generations’ collective knowledge. Bumblebee learning capabilities Previous tests‚ such as training bumblebees to roll balls for incentives‚ demonstrated their ability to learn and repair mistakes. These hardworking insects have demonstrated that they are not only driven by instinct but also can adapt and learn from shared experiences. Alex Thornton goes on to say‚ “The newest experiment suggests that the ability to learn from others what cannot be learned alone should now join tool use‚ episodic memory‚ and intentional communication in the scrap heap of explanations for human cognition and culture.” Source study: Nature—Bumblebees socially learn behaviour too complex to innovate aloneThe post The surprising human-like intelligence of the humble bee first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

The network evening newscasts engaged in a feeding frenzy over breaking news that former President Donald Trump faces difficulties in putting together the monetary bond required in order to appeal his New York civil judgment. All three major networks giddily opened their newscasts with this story‚ bumping the Bloodbath Hoax off of the top spot. Of the three‚ ABC’s report was the lengthiest‚ a standalone as opposed to part of a broader recap as was the case with CBS and NBC. Here’s how Aaron Katersky began his video package for World News Tonight: AARON KATERSKY: He has long promoted himself a billionaire -- DONALD TRUMP: I'm really rich…  KATERSKY: But tonight‚ Donald Trump telling a New York appeals court he cannot cover the $464 million bond he must post one week from today‚ as he appeals the civil fraud judgment against him. Trump's lawyers saying they face "Insurmountable difficulties." They approached more than 30 insurance companies for help and were rejected by each one. The main reason? Trump does not have enough cash‚ and the insurance companies were unwilling to accept his real estate assets as collateral. Trump and his eldest sons were found liable for fraudulently inflating the value of their real estate to get favorable bank loans. If Trump does not secure a bond by next week‚ New York Attorney General Letitia James can ask the court to seize his properties‚ which she told me she is willing to do.  You're prepared to have the state move to seize Trump's assets?  LETITIA JAMES: We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers.  Katersky dug up footage from his recent interview with New York Attorney General Letitia James which‚ as we noted at the time‚ ended with a live shot in front of 40 Wall Street- one of the iconic properties that could be seized as part of an enforcement of the civil fine if an appeal is not granted. As we also observed at that time: The report‚ of course‚ gives no voice to those skeptical of the verdict or concerned over its potential far-reaching (and unintended consequences). There is only a platform for James and for confiscation. This is still true today. Over at NBC‚ the cash crunch story led but was part of a broader compilation on all things Trump including the Bloodbath Hoax. Lester Holt’s frame seemed more aggressive than usual: LESTER HOLT: His criminal cases may be caught up in a cycle of delays‚ but things may have moved too quickly for former President Trump in the wake of that stunning civil fraud judgment against him last month. In a court filing today Mr. Trump's attorneys saying they have been unable to secure the $464 million bond due next week‚ saying a bond in the full amount is a practical impossibility. The former president‚ who built his professional reputation in part on his wealth‚ was held liable last month for fraudulently overstating the value of assets. Today's development potentially opens the door for New York's state attorney general to seize and sell off Trump assets while Mr. Trump appeals. Meantime‚ the former president is on the political defensive tonight over some remarks he made over the weekend. Correspondent Garrett Haake notes that Trump’s Tower penthouse could be up for grabs before quickly moving on to “bloodbath” and the other controversies of the day.  Over at CBS‚ Norah O’Donnell’s frame was more encompassing of the various issues: NORAH O’DONNELL: We're going to begin tonight with Donald Trump facing a cash crunch. The former president is on the brink of being forced to surrender some of his most valuable real estate properties to help pay that $454 million civil fraud judgment in New York. He's already admitted that he doesn't have the nearly half a billion dollars in cash‚ and today‚ his lawyers revealed that more than 30 firms that they were unable to or ‚ quote‚ "unwilling" to accept the risk associated with such a large bond. The clock is now ticking with that bond due next week. It's worth remembering the civil judgment stems from a ruling that Trump falsely valued parts of his real estate empire for financial gain. And then on the campaign trail‚ Trump is also defending himself after a series of disturbing remarks about migrants‚ January 6th defendants‚ and warning of a‚ quote‚ "bloodbath" if he loses in November. It was all while discussing tariffs on Chinese-made cars. More of the same here‚ the story led within a broader recap of the varied Trump stories of the day. It should be noted that none of the networks had anyone on to express concern over how the trial went‚ the conduct of the parties‚ or anything else. In terms of this judgment‚ the media’s concern was centered on whether Trump’s assets would be seized. Click “expand” to view the full transcripts of the reports respective as aired on their respective evening newscasts on Monday‚ March 18th‚ 2024: ABC World News Tonight DAVID MUIR: We do begin tonight with Donald Trump. Tonight‚ Trump's lawyers revealing he doesn't have the money. Telling the court Trump is unable to secure a bond for $464 million after the civil fraud judgment against him in New York. Saying Trump is facing‚ quote‚ “insurmountable difficulties”‚ claiming 30 insurance companies were unwilling to underwrite the bond. Tonight‚ New York state Attorney General Letitia James signaling she will try to seize some of Trump's properties if he's unable to pay the judgment. ABC's senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky leading us off. AARON KATERSKY: He has long promoted himself a billionaire -- TRUMP: I'm really rich…  KATERSKY: But tonight‚ Donald Trump telling a New York appeals court he cannot cover the $464 million bond he must post one week from today‚ as he appeals the civil fraud judgment against him. Trump's lawyers saying they face "Insurmountable difficulties." They approached more than 30 insurance companies for help and were rejected by each one. The main reason? Trump does not have enough cash‚ and the insurance companies were unwilling to accept his real estate assets as collateral. Trump and his eldest sons were found liable for fraudulently inflating the value of their real estate to get favorable bank loans. If Trump does not secure a bond by next week‚ New York Attorney General Letitia James can ask the court to seize his properties‚ which she told me she is willing to do.  You're prepared to have the state move to seize Trump's assets?  LETITIA JAMES: We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers.  KATERSKY: There's also the possibility that Trump could put his buildings up for sale now to raise quick cash. But his lawyers say that kind of fire sale would result in irrecoverable losses if his appeal succeeds. So‚ bottom line‚ Trump wants the court to let him post a smaller bond. His lawyers say securing anything close to $464 million "is a practical impossibility." There's no telling when the appeals court may rule‚ but David‚ if Trump is unable to post a bond‚ the attorney general could begin to take ownership of Trump's properties. We're not sure that means padlocks and stickers on the door‚ but she told us she is determined to make sure Trump pays. David? MUIR: Hard to know what to expect. In the meantime‚ Aaron‚ the other breaking headline. There's also news in one of the criminal cases against Donald Trump tonight. The hush money trial scheduled to get under way next month. And we learned tonight that key witnesses and a piece of video that the country will remember will be allowed in this upcoming trial?  KATERSKY: David‚ the judge just ruled that two key witnesses will be allowed to testify. The recipient of the hush money‚ porn actress Stormy Daniels‚ and Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen. The judge will also allow the Manhattan district attorney's office to refer to the "Access Hollywood" tape. The one on which Trump explains how he grabbed women. David?  MUIR: Aaron Katersky leading us off here on a Monday night. Aaron‚ thank you.   NBC Nightly News LESTER HOLT: His criminal cases may be caught up in a cycle of delays‚ but things may have moved too quickly for former President Trump in the wake of that stunning civil fraud judgment against him last month. In a court filing today Mr. Trump's attorneys saying they have been unable to secure the $464 million bond due next week‚ saying a bond in the full amount is a practical impossibility. The former president‚ who built his professional reputation in part on his wealth‚ was held liable last month for fraudulently overstating the value of assets. Today's development potentially opens the door for New York's state attorney general to seize and sell off Trump assets while Mr. Trump appeals. Meantime‚ the former president is on the political defensive tonight over some remarks he made over the weekend. Garrett Haake has our report.  GAARETT HAAKE: Tonight the fate of former President Trump's most famous properties could be up in the air‚ with Trump attorneys telling a judge he's unable to secure bond in the $464 million civil fraud judgment against him‚ asking a judge for an emergency stay. Guarantors won't accept real estate as collateral but want nearly a half billion dollars in cash‚ which Trump's company doesn't have‚ his lawyers say. If he cannot post bond for the full amount by next week‚ Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James could start seizing his assets‚ potentially even his Trump Tower penthouse. In their filing‚ Trump attorneys argue the penalty is grossly disproportional when there were‚ quote‚ “no victims‚ no damages and no actual financial losses” in the case. It comes as the Trump campaign also faces blowback amid Mr. Trump's new inflammatory rhetoric against what he calls criminal migrants.  DONALD TRUMP: They're not people in my opinion. But I'm not allowed to say that because the radical left says that's a terrible thing to say. These are animals. Okay? HAAKE: Mr. Trump has vowed to bring back his Remain in Mexico policy that keeps migrants waiting outside the U.S. until courts decide their asylum cases. The Biden administration is releasing 85% of migrants into the U.S. while they wait for asylum decisions. And tonight the presumptive GOP nominee also pushing back‚ saying Democrats‚ quote‚ “pretended to be shocked at my use of the word bloodbath” during this riff about Chinese car makers.  TRUMP: We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. And you're not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now‚ if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it.  HAAKE: Mr. Trump saying he was referring to President Biden allowing imports he says are killing the auto industry. Late tonight‚ calling Democratic attacks‚ quote‚ “misinformation”. TRUMP: The word “bloodbath”‚ I used it about trade‚ essentially auto trade‚ because we're getting ripped off with Biden's really dumb auto policy. HAAKE: The Biden campaign rejecting that it was about only cars.  MICHAEL TYLER: Every single day‚ Donald Trump is promoting and endorsing and encouraging political violence on the stump. HOLT:  And Garrett‚ NBC News also has new reporting tonight about President Biden showing some growing frustration about his re-election campaign. What do we know? HAAKE: Yeah‚ that's right‚ Lester. President Biden shouted and swore about falling poll numbers in a January White House meeting‚ and has felt cocooned by staff‚ eager to move more aggressively in campaigning against Mr. Trump‚ sources tell NBC News. Lester. HOLT: All right‚ Garrett Haake. Thank you.    CBS Evening News NORAH O’DONNELL: We're going to begin tonight with Donald Trump facing a cash crunch. The former president is on the brink of being forced to surrender some of his most valuable real estate properties to help pay that $454 million civil fraud judgment in New York. He's already admitted that he doesn't have the nearly half a billion dollars in cash‚ and today‚ his lawyers revealed that more than 30 firms that they were unable to or ‚ quote‚ "unwilling" to accept the risk associated with such a large bond. The clock is now ticking with that bond due next week. It's worth remembering the civil judgment stems from a ruling that Trump falsely valued parts of his real estate empire for financial gain. And then on the campaign trail‚ Trump is also defending himself after a series of disturbing remarks about migrants‚ January 6th defendants‚ and warning of a‚ quote‚ "bloodbath" if he loses in November. It was all while discussing tariffs on Chinese-made cars. CBS's Robert Costa is here and he'll start us off tonight. ROBERT COSTA: Former President Donald Trump could soon be facing a financial crisis. His lawyers today revealing in a court filing that Trump has failed to obtain a $454 million bond‚ calling it a practical impossibility. It’s due in just one week and without it‚ New York Attorney General Letitia James could freeze his bank accounts and seize his prized properties‚ including Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street.  DONALD TRUMP: The bottom line is‚ this is rigged. COSTA: Trump‚ who was unable to reach agreement with more than 30 companies that provide appeal bonds‚ is also scrambling to raise money for the general election. CBS News has learned Trump is considering enlisting his former 2016 campaign chairman‚ Paul Manafort‚ a convicted felon who was found guilty of committing several financial crimes in 2018 and later pardoned by Trump. Meanwhile‚ the former president has ramped up his incendiary rhetoric on the campaign trail.  TRUMP: We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. COSTA: Trump insists he was referring to a potential bloodbath in the automobile industry. In the past‚ Trump has warned of bedlam if Biden wins‚ suggesting there will be anger if he is convicted of a crime. TRUMP: There will be bedlam in the country. It's a very bad thing. It's very bad precedent‚ as we say‚ it’s the opening of a Pandora's box.  COSTA: Over the weekend‚ Trump also referred to migrants as animals‚ and described those convicted for crimes related to January 6th as hostages and patriots. That remark drawing criticism from both sides of the aisle. MIKE PENCE: It's just‚ it's just unacceptable.  JAMIE RASKIN: A hostage is someone who is being held by a criminal group or a terrorist group for a financial or political ransom. That's got nothing to do with people who have been criminally charged and given due process.  COSTA: Meanwhile‚ former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro will likely be headed to jail. Today the Supreme Court rejected Navarro's push to stave off his sentence for refusing to comply with the congressional subpoena and he is now set to report to a correctional facility tomorrow in Florida‚ Norah. That is some big news. Robert Costa‚ thank you.    

With The Bloodbath Hoax having been so swiftly and thoroughly debunked‚ the evening network newscasts had to scramble to find ways to keep this narrative alive. It appears that they’ve settled on wrapping this latest hoax around the Capitol Riot of January 6th‚ thus magically eliminating the need for context. No surprise here‚ the most hysterical report comes via ABC World News Tonight and Jon Karl‚ who acknowledged that former President Donald Trump’s remarks were in fact about the automotive industry‚ before making them about January 6th: JON KARL: Today Donald Trump is defending comments he made at a rally in Ohio warning of a quote‚ “bloodbath” if he doesn't win the presidential election in November. Trump made the comment as he was talking about the auto industry‚ vowing to impose 100% tariffs on some imported cars.  DONALD TRUMP: We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line‚ and you're not going to be able to sell those cars- If I get elected. Now‚ if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it.  KARL: Today‚ Trump insisted he wasn't talking about political violence at all‚ saying‚ quote‚ “I was simply referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden‚ which are killing the automobile industry.” But the world saw what happened the last time Trump lost a presidential election‚ as Trump's supporters violently attacked the Capitol on January 6th. There has been a tactical evolution here. Trump’s remarks are now acknowledged as being about Chinese electric cars potentially built in Mexico (a grossly underreported story‚ as I said to Tim Graham on the NewsBusters Podcast)‚ but here’s the new switcheroo: the full quote has Trump bracketing the “bloodbath” quote with remarks on the automotive industry. Chopping that last part off‚ even when restoring context in the beginning of the quote‚ keeps everything vague enough to keep the Bloodbath Hoax plausible and duct-tape January 6th onto it. Now there’s a fresh angle. And for Karl‚ perhaps‚ a fourth Trump book. NBC ran The Bloodbath Hoax as part of its recap of Trump stories as opposed to a standalone item‚ but with the same basic play: GARRETT HAAKE: And tonight the presumptive GOP nominee also pushing back‚ saying Democrats‚ quote‚ “pretended to be shocked at my use of the word bloodbath” during this riff about Chinese car makers.  TRUMP: We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. And you're not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now‚ if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it.  HAAKE: Mr. Trump saying he was referring to President Biden allowing imports he says are killing the auto industry. Late tonight‚ calling Democratic attacks‚ quote‚ “misinformation”. TRUMP: The word “bloodbath”‚ I used it about trade‚ essentially auto trade‚ because we're getting ripped off with Biden's really dumb auto policy. HAAKE: The Biden campaign rejecting that it was about only cars.  MICHAEL TYLER: Every single day‚ Donald Trump is promoting and endorsing and encouraging political violence on the stump. The slightly expanded quote with a bit of context but maintaining plausibility‚ the (indirect) tie-in to January 6th- it’s all there‚ with a few more quotes with which to provide the illusion of balance. CBS’s Robert Costa runs the exact same play within his Trump recap‚ albeit with a slightly different angle. Wash‚ rinse‚ repeat: ROBERT COSTA: Meanwhile‚ the former president has ramped up his incendiary rhetoric on the campaign trail.  DONALD TRUMP: We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. COSTA: Trump insists he was referring to a potential bloodbath in the automobile industry. In the past‚ Trump has warned of bedlam if Biden wins‚ suggesting there will be anger if he is convicted of a crime. TRUMP: There will be bedlam in the country. It's a very bad thing. It's very bad precedent‚ as we say‚ it’s the opening of a Pandora's box.  The strategy may have evolved in order to provide a smidgen of context‚ but it remains as shameless and as reliant on multiple suspensions of disbelief as ever. The title of “regime media” is well earned here. Click “expand” to view the full transcripts of the reports respective as aired on their respective evening newscasts on Monday‚ March 18th‚ 2024: ABC World News Tonight DAVID MUIR: Back here at home tonight‚ and to the race for the White House‚ on the campaign trail‚ Donald Trump warning of a‚ quote‚ “bloodbath” if he loses the election. Tonight‚ his campaign and what Trump meant by that. The Biden campaign pointing to January 6th. The country and the world seeing what can happen amid dangerous rhetoric. And the moment Trump played the national anthem to honor those who are behind bars for January 6th. Here's Jon Karl. JON KARL: Today Donald Trump is defending comments he made at a rally in Ohio warning of a quote‚ “bloodbath” if he doesn't win the presidential election in November. Trump made the comment as he was talking about the auto industry‚ vowing to impose 100% tariffs on some imported cars.  DONALD TRUMP: We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line‚ and you're not going to be able to sell those cars- If I get elected. Now‚ if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it.  KARL: Today‚ Trump insisted he wasn't talking about political violence at all‚ saying‚ quote‚ “I was simply referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden‚ which are killing the automobile industry.” But the world saw what happened the last time Trump lost a presidential election‚ as Trump's supporters violently attacked the Capitol on January 6th. And in Ohio‚ Trump paid tribute to those arrested for their actions on that day.  ANNOUNCER: Please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated January 6th hostages (The Star-Spangled Banner) KARL: He saluted during a rendition of the National Anthem that was recorded by people in prison for what they did on January 6th. Trump called those now serving prison sentences hostages and patriots‚ suggesting he'd pardon them as soon as he gets back in office. Today‚ the Biden campaign condemned Trump's prediction of a bloodbath‚ accusing him of having an "affection for violence" and a "thirst for revenge" and alleging Trump wants "another January 6th." Not long after Trump paid tribute to the people who attacked the Capitol as‚ quote‚ “unbelievable patriots"‚ he posted multiple statements calling for Liz Cheney and other members of the January 6th committee to be prosecuted and sent to jail. In other words‚ David- Trump wants to pardon those who attacked the Capitol‚ and he wants to prosecute those who investigated his actions on January 6th.  MUIR: Jon Karl‚ covering the campaign for us. Jon‚ Thank you.   NBC Nightly News LESTER HOLT: His criminal cases may be caught up in a cycle of delays‚ but things may have moved too quickly for former President Trump in the wake of that stunning civil fraud judgment against him last month. In a court filing today Mr. Trump's attorneys saying they have been unable to secure the $464 million bond due next week‚ saying a bond in the full amount is a practical impossibility. The former president‚ who built his professional reputation in part on his wealth‚ was held liable last month for fraudulently overstating the value of assets.

Guarantors won't accept real estate as collateral but want nearly a half billion dollars in cash‚ which Trump's company doesn't have‚ his lawyers say. If he cannot post bond for the full amount by next week‚ Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James could start seizing his assets‚ potentially even his Trump Tower penthouse. In their filing‚ Trump attorneys argue the penalty is grossly disproportional when there were‚ quote‚ “no victims‚ no damages and no actual financial losses” in the case.

And you're not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now‚ if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it.  HAAKE: Mr. Trump saying he was referring to President Biden allowing imports he says are killing the auto industry. Late tonight‚ calling Democratic attacks‚ quote‚ “misinformation”. TRUMP: The word “bloodbath”‚ I used it about trade‚ essentially auto trade‚ because we're getting ripped off with Biden's really dumb auto policy. HAAKE: The Biden campaign rejecting that it was about only cars.  MICHAEL TYLER: Every single day‚ Donald Trump is promoting and endorsing and encouraging political violence on the stump. HOLT:  And Garrett‚ NBC News also has new reporting tonight about President Biden showing some growing frustration about his re-election campaign. What do we know? HAAKE: Yeah‚ that's right‚ Lester. President Biden shouted and swore about falling poll numbers in a January White House meeting‚ and has felt cocooned by staff‚ eager to move more aggressively in campaigning against Mr. Trump‚ sources tell NBC News. Lester. HOLT: All right‚ Garrett Haake. Thank you.    CBS Evening News NORAH O’DONNELL: We're going to begin tonight with Donald Trump facing a cash crunch. The former president is on the brink of being forced to surrender some of his most valuable real estate properties to help pay that $454 million civil fraud judgment in New York. He's already admitted that he doesn't have the nearly half a billion dollars in cash‚ and today‚ his lawyers revealed that more than 30 firms that they were unable to or ‚ quote‚ "unwilling" to accept the risk associated with such a large bond. The clock is now ticking with that bond due next week. It's worth remembering the civil judgment stems from a ruling that Trump falsely valued parts of his real estate empire for financial gain. And then on the campaign trail‚ Trump is also defending himself after a series of disturbing remarks about migrants‚ January 6th defendants‚ and warning of a‚ quote‚ "bloodbath" if he loses in November. It was all while discussing tariffs on Chinese-made cars. CBS's Robert Costa is here and he'll start us off tonight. ROBERT COSTA: Former President Donald Trump could soon be facing a financial crisis. His lawyers today revealing in a court filing that Trump has failed to obtain a $454 million bond‚ calling it a practical impossibility. It’s due in just one week and without it‚ New York Attorney General Letitia James could freeze his bank accounts and seize his prized properties‚ including Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street.  DONALD TRUMP: The bottom line is‚ this is rigged. COSTA: Trump‚ who was unable to reach agreement with more than 30 companies that provide appeal bonds‚ is also scrambling to raise money for the general election. CBS News has learned Trump is considering enlisting his former 2016 campaign chairman‚ Paul Manafort‚ a convicted felon who was found guilty of committing several financial crimes in 2018 and later pardoned by Trump. Meanwhile‚ the former president has ramped up his incendiary rhetoric on the campaign trail.  TRUMP: We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars. If I get elected. Now if I don't get elected‚ it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. COSTA: Trump insists he was referring to a potential bloodbath in the automobile industry. In the past‚ Trump has warned of bedlam if Biden wins‚ suggesting there will be anger if he is convicted of a crime. TRUMP: There will be bedlam in the country. It's a very bad thing. It's very bad precedent‚ as we say‚ it’s the opening of a Pandora's box.  COSTA: Over the weekend‚ Trump also referred to migrants as animals‚ and described those convicted for crimes related to January 6th as hostages and patriots. That remark drawing criticism from both sides of the aisle. MIKE PENCE: It's just‚ it's just unacceptable.  JAMIE RASKIN: A hostage is someone who is being held by a criminal group or a terrorist group for a financial or political ransom. That's got nothing to do with people who have been criminally charged and given due process.  COSTA: Meanwhile‚ former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro will likely be headed to jail. Today the Supreme Court rejected Navarro's push to stave off his sentence for refusing to comply with the congressional subpoena and he is now set to report to a correctional facility tomorrow in Florida‚ Norah. That is some big news. Robert Costa‚ thank you.
