00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,280 surf on Sunday with occasional one to two feet overhead sets. 14 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,680 The southwest swell will continue into Monday, bringing chest-to-head high waves. 15 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,640 Mornings will see cleaner conditions with light offshore wind, shifting to onshore wind 16 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,640 in the afternoons, bringing bumpier conditions and increasing in strength. 17 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,280 Friday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at 3 to 5 feet 18 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,880 until 10 a.m. 19 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,440 After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset. 20 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:44,720 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a three-foot outgoing tide when the west-northwest swell 21 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:51,200 is 2 feet at 17 seconds and the onshore wind is 2 mile per hour. 22 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,880 The first high tide Friday will be 4 feet at 6

forget to tell them. 44 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,520 Sunny mornings send you. 45 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:54,840 In local news, the Mexican Navy's tall ship, the Kyoto Moc, has arrived in San Diego Bay 46 00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,480 and will be open for free public tours from May 17th to May 20th at the Bee Street Pier. 47 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,800 The ship, which sailed from Acapulco with 261 crew members, serves as a training vessel 48 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,440 and a cultural ambassador for Mexico. 49 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,920 It will be in San Diego as part of a seven-month journey spanning three continents. 50 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:25,880 The Kyoto Moc, in its 41-year history, has visited over 228 ports in 73 countries. 51 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,320 After San Diego, the ship will continue its voyage to Hawaii and then on to 10 more countries, 52 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,520 including Japan, South Korea, and Australia. 53 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,960 Now on to sports. 54 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:49,360 Caitlin Clark's home debut for the Indiana Fever was overshadowed by Brianna Stewart's MVP performance, 55 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,640 leading the New York Liberty to a 102-66 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 56 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:03,240 Stewart's dominant game, featuring 31 points, 10 rebounds, and multiple defensive contributions, 57 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,120 highlighted the Liberty's strength. 58 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,160 Clark had a solid outing with 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, 59 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,160 but struggled against intense defensive pressure. 60 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,160 Despite an early bucket that energized the crowd, 61 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,280 Clark faced tough defense and limited scoring opportunities. 62 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:29,880 The Fever's defensive struggles and challenging schedule have contributed to their O and 2 start, 63 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,280 with upcoming games against top-tier teams. 64 00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:39,560 Last night in local sports, the Padres were off. 65 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:47,080 But tonight, the Padres are on the road in Atlanta to take on the Braves. 66 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:53,320 In top news, the Justice Department has uncovered a major identity theft scheme 67 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,000 involving thousands of North Korean IT workers who stole American identities 68 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,440 to secure remote tech jobs at Fortune 500 companies. 69 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,440 This scheme generated significant revenue for North Korea, 70 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:15,600 including for its weapons program, by exploiting the U.S. labor shortage and the rise of remote work. 71 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Three individuals have been arrested in Arizona who facilitated the scheme. 72 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:27,720 The Justice Department and FBI are collaborating with international partners and private companies 73 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:35,880 to combat such fraud, emphasizing the need for stringent identity verification in hiring processes. 74 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,000 In business news, in response to declining subscriber numbers, 75 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,400 Comcast has launched a new streaming service bundle called Stream Saver, 76 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,800 which includes Apple TV+, Netflix, and Peacock. 77 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880 This initiative aims to counter the trend of cord cutting, 78 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,680 where consumers are abandoning cable TV in favor of streaming services. 79 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,600 Comcast chair Brian Roberts announced the bundle, 80 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,080 emphasizing its competitive pricing and value addition for consumers. 81 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,640 This move comes after Comcast reported significant losses in broadband and video customers 82 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,960 in its first quarter earnings for 2024, 83 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,480 with a 7% decrease in revenue from residential video subscribers. 84 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:29,360 The new bundle is an effort to attract and retain customers amid the shifting media consumption landscape. 85 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,920 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now $65,500, 86 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,000 Ethereum is $2,900, 87 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,560 and Solana is $162. 88 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,120 Moving on to a more local vibe. 89 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,480 In our community spotlight on health and wellness,

00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,520 And now back to the show. 99 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,800 Let's talk tech. 100 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,840 British engineering giant RUP has fallen victim to a $25 million deep fake scam, 101 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,640 involving a Hong Kong employee being tricked into transferring funds. 102 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:57,960 The fraudsters used sophisticated fake voices and images to impersonate the company's CFO and other staff during a video call. 103 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,040 Despite the significant loss, 104 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:06,400 RUP confirmed that their financial stability and business operations remained unaffected, 105 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,840 and their internal systems were uncompromised. 106 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,400 This incident, under investigation by Hong Kong police, 107 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,960 highlights the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks, 108 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,240 such as deep fakes, invoice fraud, and phishing scams. 109 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:29,480 RUP's global CIO emphasized the need for heightened awareness and vigilance against such threats. 110 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,400 And in entertainment news, 111 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,880 Francis Ford Coppola's long-awaited passion project, 112 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,520 Megalopolis, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, 113 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,200 closing a chapter decades in the making for the legendary director. 114 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,920 This 138-minute science fiction epic, inspired by Roman history, 115 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,040 features Adam Driver as architect scientist Cesar Catalina, 116 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,640 and Giancarlo Esposito as Mayor Franklin Cicero. 117 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,720 Despite mixed critical reviews, with some finding it fascinating if chaotic, 118 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,600 Megalopolis marks Coppola's return to Cannes competition, 119 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,880 for the first time since Apocalypse Now in 1979. 120 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,480 The film, which has a star-studded cast, 121 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,600 at a $120 million budget, 122 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,440 has yet to secure a U.S. distributor, 123 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:30,840 but is expected to have a limited global release in IMAX theaters later this year. 124 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,680 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 125 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:42,240 And today, our quote comes from the lawyer and civil rights activist, Thurgood Marshall. 126 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,280 He said, 127 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:49,400 None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. 128 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,080 We got here because somebody, a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony, 129 00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,640 or a few nuns, bent down and helped us pick up our boots. 130 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,400 And that's a wrap for this morning. 131 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,920 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok 132 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,720 for some captivating
