00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,680
I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, July 18th.

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,360
You'll be interested to know.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,640
Today is Nelson Mandela Day, honoring the legacy of a human rights lawyer, prisoner

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,040
of conscience, and the first democratically elected president of South Africa.

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,960
Born on his birthday, July 18th, this day reminds us of Mandela's commitment to justice,

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,080
equality, and the power of individual impact.

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,440
The United Nations encourages everyone to spend 67 minutes helping others, reflecting

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,140
Mandela's 67 years of public service.

10
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:53,660
His legacy teaches us to choose dignity over humiliation, speak up during injustice, and

11
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:59,520
forgive rather than hate, reminding us that each person has the power to transform the

12
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,520
world.

13
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,680
So now you know.

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,920
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.

Expect chest to shoulder-high southwest grounds swell Thursday morning, easing in the afternoon.

16
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:23,160
Swell decreases to waist to stomach high by Friday, then waist high through the weekend.

17
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:30,320
Wind and light shifting to onshore at 5 to 10 mph in the afternoons, creating semi-choppy

18
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,600
conditions.

19
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:39,120
Thursday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking clean in the morning at 4 to

20
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,320
5 feet.

21
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,600

Sunny mornings send you!

42
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:41,640
In local news, Southwest Airlines and Archer Aviation have announced a partnership to develop

43
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,560
electric air taxi networks in California.

44
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,600
This initiative could transform travel between airports like San Diego International, Los

45
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Angeles International, and others in the region.

46
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,960
They have signed a memorandum of understanding to create integrated electric air taxi networks

47
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:03,840
aiming to reduce travel time significantly.

48
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,280
Archer is working on its Midnight Electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, envisioning

49
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,000
10- to 20-minute flights replacing lengthy car canoes.

50
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,640
This collaboration is part of a broader movement towards urban air mobility, supported by recent

51
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:26,640
U.S. Congress legislation.

52
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,120
Now on to sports.

53
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,760
In a rare financial move, New York Knicks point guard, Jalen Brunson opted to sign a

54
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:41,840
contract extension worth $156 million over four years instead of waiting to potentially

55
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:47,140
earn $269 million next offseason.

56
00:04:47,140 --> 00:04:52,440
This decision allows the Knicks to allocate savings towards building a championship roster,

57
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,200
reflecting Brunson's commitment to the team.

58
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,880
Brunson, who began his career as a second-round draft pick, has evolved into one of the league's

59
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,680
top scorers and a New York City icon.

60
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,720
His willingness to sacrifice for the organization has earned admiration from Knicks fans and

61
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,720
management alike.

62
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:22,520

68
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,000
hear from the nominees for president on the same basis.

69
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,240
All United States presidential candidates will adhere to the same community standards,

70
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,080
which include policies to prevent hate speech and incitement to violence.

71
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,800

00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:27,200
110 million AT&T customers, covering May to October 2022 and January 2, 2023.

73
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:33,280
This breach includes call and text logs and for some estimated locations.

74
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:39,640
While AT&T assures that call content, account names, social security numbers, and credit

75
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:46,640
card information were not compromised, location data remains a significant concern.

76
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,720
The stolen data could be misused for blackmail or identity theft.

77
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:58,520
AT&T advises affected customers to be vigilant and report any fraud.

78
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:05,260
For enhanced security, consider using apps like Authy or Google Authenticator.

00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,280
NASA has announced plans for a controlled de-orbit of the International Space Station

94
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,720
with SpaceX developing a specialized de-orbit vehicle.

95
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,780
This custom-built spacecraft, based on SpaceX's Cargo Dragon, will guide the station into

96
00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:37,080
a safe re-entry over an uninhabited ocean area around the year 2030.

97
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:44,920
NASA has awarded SpaceX an $843 million contract for the project, with a total budget request

98
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,880
of $1.5 billion.

99
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:55,920
The de-orbit vehicle will utilize 35,000 pounds of propellant and 46 Draco rocket engines

100
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,920
for precise maneuvers.

101
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,360

104
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Brian Grazer, co-founder of Imagine Entertainment, teased this project during an appearance on

105
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,760

106
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:28,160

107
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,680

108
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:39,280
The series, created by Joel Cerno and Robert Cochran, originally ran for nine seasons from

00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:47,760

No plot details or casting information are available at this time.

111
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,120
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

112
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:04,880
And today, our quote comes from the former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.

113
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,160
And he said,

114
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:12,360
"...everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated

115
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,880
to and passionate about what they do."

116
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,520
