Speaker 1: snowflakes as well. It's going to be much better and
Speaker 1: a little bit milder tomorrow. New US tariffs are expected
Speaker 1: to kick in next week, but the White House is
Speaker 1: apparently taking a bit of a step back. President Trump
Speaker 1: narrows his approach to the new levee set to begin
Speaker 1: a week from Wednesday, leaving out industry specific tariffs. But
Speaker 1: we'll continue to roll out what is considered retaliatory tariffs
Speaker 1: all around the world. It's called Liberation Day. April second.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg reports the President is expected to plow forward by
Speaker 1: hitting back on countries that already charge the US what
Speaker 1: he considers unfair prices, but the White House is expected

Speaker 1: in doubt. Easter might come with a cost this year.
Speaker 1: The annual White House Easter egg Roll is looking for
Speaker 1: corporate sponsorships for this year's event on the South Lawn.
Speaker 1: Seventy five thousand to two hundred thousand dollars will get
Speaker 1: you logo and branding opportunities. The egg roll became a
Speaker 1: tradition shortly after the Civil War and has remained privately
Speaker 1: funded with no taxpayer dollars ever since. Plans are that

Speaker 4: of humility, stupidity and nanity, irrelevance.
Speaker 1: Fear, self doubt, and profound unceasing silliness.
Speaker 4: The new chairman of the Kennedy Center Board, President Trump
Speaker 4: didn't go unmentioned.
Speaker 1: Only he knows his priority's best and there's a lot
Speaker 1: going on in the world, but probably taking control of

Speaker 1: a reaction to President Trump's moves to upend recruiting efforts.
Speaker 1: The change appears on the Major League Baseball page previously
Speaker 1: known as the Diversity Pipeline Program, which Commissioner Rob Manfred

Speaker 2: together to confirm they were dating Woods. At the time,

Speaker 2: Woods and Vanessa Trump's children attend the same Palm Beach School.

Speaker 3: Well, this is unbearable flashes of some nicer weather, However,
Speaker 3: a warm spring doesn't want to stick around just yet.
Speaker 3: And as we get a new week, gusty winds, rain,
Speaker 3: and there's even a little snow flying around for some
Speaker 3: of us, shorts aren't exactly on the radar just yet,
Speaker 3: despite what some of us are hoping for for it.
Speaker 5: To be this cold in mid March.
Speaker 3: Let's just hope we turn the tide as we close
Speaker 3: in on a new month.
