79
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.479
<v Speaker 2>had some beautiful mornings all week long, and then we've

80
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>had those really hot afternoons. We're waking up pretty muggy

81
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 2>this morning, and although the temperature is not going to

82
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>be as bad as it has been over the past

83
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.960

84
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.840

86
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.639

87
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.199

88
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.759

89
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>more comfortable. Mid seventies, and we'll have plenty of sunshine

90
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>all the way through your Friday, and then we clear

91
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.040

96
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 2>hot one day and then cool the next, so certainly

97
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>be following up on that, but the weekend should be

106
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 4>wider issue of whether a president has the constitutional authority

107
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.879
<v Speaker 4>to hold back or impound money that's been appropriated by Congress.

108
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.680
