And - Donald Trump gets fitness tests back on the school curriculum. Now American children will be ranked on how fit they are. Will that successfully tackle the country's spiraling obesity crisis?

  7. David Blevins· Host0:34

    I'll write you a reference.

  8. James Matthews· Host0:35

    [laughs] But [laughs] I tell you what, though, I would pay them fifty thousand dollars if I could watch Scotland win the World Cup. [laughs] You think that could be arranged?
