-Hi, everyone.
I'm your host, Zach Anner, and while most news shows
give you the bad news,
we're here to give you the good news.
This is the "PBS NewsHour" --
Wait, "Top of the Monday"!
Happy Monday, people!
Now, I know, for some of you, Mondays are terrible.
But I want to show you something to clear your head,
so just sit back in your wheelchair --
I'm assuming you all have them, too --
and watch this clip.
It's a dancin' mother[bleep] T. rex, guys!
I'm sorry I swore. I'm just really excited.
This clip is courtesy of Michael Macilwee,
a dance instructor in New York City
who decided to bring his love of dinosaurs and dance together
in one beautiful and prehistoric jazzy package.
Just look at those tiny arms and that flopping head.
It's really nice to see dinosaurs with cerebral palsy
finally getting roles in Broadway,
but if you're looking for another leading man,
I'm your guy.
[ Growling ]
Roar!
Call me.
And now ISIS news.
Ice is done!
Our next story comes from Lampasas, Texas,
where Dannie "Dee" McMillan was cyberbullied
when a Twitter account was created mocking her
called Dee the Fat Whale.
Dee was understandably devastated,
so she reached out to a role model of hers,
plus-size model Laura Lee, and they decided to do something
to help save the actual whales.
They turned that hurt into a T-shirt.
Dee's save-the-whales shirts made quite a splash,
and they've already raised over 10,000 bucks!
You go, Dee! You know what you deserve?
That's right. Some dancin' T. rex.
I'm never gonna get sick of it.
Never.
And now it's time for "CliffNote Quotes."
"Four score and seven years ago..."
USA! USA!
Abraham Lincoln's "Geteese-burger Dress."
Our last story this morning comes from Mississippi,
where Andrea Diaz was deaf for most of her life.
She recently got a cochlear implant,
which is the device that helps people with hearing loss.
-Can you hear me?
-[ Laughs ] Yeah, it sounds funny.
-I know, it's pretty emotional and amazing, right, guys?
But that's not all, 'cause this dude in the corner
has something else to say.
-I love you so much, and you're my best friend, baby.
I wanted to make the first thing you hear
me asking you to marry me.
-Yes! [ Laughs ]
-This is incredibly romantic.
I mean, when I tried to propose to a girl
during her root canal, it didn't go half this good.
But I did get a tiny tube of Crest, so not all bad.
And now it's time for "Good News Up Close!"
I asked you guys to send uncomfortably close
selfie videos with your good news,
and this is what you had to say.
-I finish my last college course in a week and a half,
I graduate in two,
and then I start my practicum at the hospital
right after that.
It's almost like I'm a real adult or something.
-Janna, welcome to adulthood.
I've been trying to stave it off as long as possible.
Seriously, I'm not --
I'm wearing pajama pants under this desk.
-My sister has picked me to watch my nephew full time.
-Well, I guess that's good news for you,
but I didn't get the job.
Send my best to your nephew,
and, um, guess I got to go look for a job now.
-I go and take a bath.
-He's gonna take a bath today!
-You're gonna take a bath today?
That's awesome, little guy!
I'm gonna take a bath, too,
because it's about that time of the week.
Well, that's all the time we have for good news this week,
but if you've got good news, share it with us,
and we can use it on a future episode.
I've got to go try out for "Jurassic Park: The Musical."
[ Singing ] Jurassic Park.
It is sort of a shark that's a dinosaur.
