The text is a dialogue from a news report and a late-night comedy show. It begins with a segment on a young man, Chase Hansen, who at the age of 4, noticed a homeless person on the street and felt an instant need to help. He started by passing out smoothies to people in need, eventually turning these actions into meals and strong connections. Chase's efforts inspired a standing ovation from the audience.
The report then shifts to a segment on New Year's resolutions. It mentions that 80% of people who make a New Year's resolution will have given up by the second week of February. The report suggests that instead of trying something for a whole year, people should consider making smart resolutions that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. The report also recommends setting visible goals and seeking support from friends and family or online groups.
The late-night comedy show then takes on the news of the week, including the impeachment trial and the sleep schedule of Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley. The show also shares courtroom sketches from the trial and makes jokes about the senators involved.
