  One hundred and fifty-four years ago, today in 1870, the Italian troops occupied Rome,

  leading to the eventual incorporation of Rome into the Kingdom of Italy and limiting papal

  governing authority to the Vatican itself and a small district around it.

  This significant event marked the end of the Papal States, unifying Italy and establishing

  Developed by Vishal Gupta, former head of exchange at Coinbase, and ex-Coinbase engineer

  And now back to the show.
• 8:36
  Let's talk science.
• 8:38
  Voyager 1 has been traveling away from Earth for 47 years, exploring the farthest reaches
• 8:44
  of space.
• 8:45
  However, NASA faces challenges as the probe ages, now located 15 billion miles from home.
• 8:54
  The primary issue involves a deteriorating rubber diaphragm inside its fuel tank, which
• 9:00
  has caused clogging in the thruster tubes with silicon dioxide.
• 9:04
  NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory first identified this problem in 2002.
• 9:10
  Fortunately, Voyager 1 is equipped with three sets of thrusters.
• 9:16
  After switching to the second set in 2018, NASA is now utilizing the third set to continue
• 9:23
  its journey.
• 9:25
  And in entertainment news, comedian Matt Walsh goes undercover in Am I Racist?, a satire
• 9:35
  appealing to right-leaning filmgoers.
• 9:38
  Already released, the film is The Daily Wire's first wide theatrical release, opening in
• 9:44
  1,510 theaters.
• 9:48
  Miss Borat's style mockumentary critiques the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement,
• 9:54
  aiming to capture the attention of a demographic often overlooked by Hollywood.
• 9:59
  Walsh notes that the film industry is leaving plenty of money on the table, as it neglects
• 10:04
  a substantial portion of potential viewers.
• 10:08
  And I, racist, hopes to join the ranks of successful alternative films.
• 10:13
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 10:19
  And today, our quote comes from the American basketball player and cultural icon, Michael
• 10:25
  Jordan.
• 10:27
  And he said,
• 10:29
  Some people want it to happen.
• 10:32
  Some wish it would happen.
• 10:34
  And others make it happen.
• 10:37
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
