00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,560 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,080 719 years ago, today, in 1305. 5 00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:26,800 William Wallace was executed in London for treason, condemned for leading the Scottish 6 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,360 resistance forces during the first years of the long and ultimately successful struggle 7 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,160 to

42 00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:34,160 This marks the next to last independence class combat ship scheduled to be built for the 43 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,600 Navy. 44 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:42,400 The 418-foot vessel will later take a berth at Naval Station San Diego, home to 16 other 45 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,120 ships. 46 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,680 Kingsville is designed to travel upwards of 45 miles per hour, making it one of the Navy's 47 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,920 fastest vessels, capable of various roles from searching for sea mines to enforcing 48 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240 maritime law. 49 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,760 The USS Abraham Lincoln, also based in San Diego, has now arrived in the Middle East. 50 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,280 The United States Central Command confirmed this on Wednesday. 51 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,920 Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin instructed the carrier 10 days ago to speed up its transit 52 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,320 to the region to potentially assist Israel against a possible attack by Iran. 53 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,200 Lincoln is the flagship of a carrier strike group that includes the San Diego-based destroyer's 54 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:34,360 USS Spruance and the USS O'Kane. 55 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,840 Now onto sports. 56 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,880 Joey Votto, a potential future Hall of Famer, announced his retirement yesterday. 57 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,440 Votto, who spent his entire 17-year career with the Cincinnati Reds, decided to retire 58 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,920 after a series of moments, including prolonged recovery from injury, declining performance, 59 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,880 and a contemplative family lunch. 60 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,760 Votto stated, the fans come to watch hunger and aggression. 61 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:09,040 They come to watch people playing at their very, very best, and he feels like he can't 62 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,920 fulfill that call any longer. 63 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:20,080 His career included an MVP award, six All-Star appearances, and a gold glove. 64 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:27,860 In local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Mets 8-3. 65 00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:33,520 And tonight, they're back at it for Game 2 of this series with the Mets. 66 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:41,720 In top news, a construction worker in Gloterdal, Germany, stumbled upon a hidden stash of 67 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,680 medieval coins from around 1320 AD. 68 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:52,480 Klaus Volker, while laying underground piping, discovered what he described as small metal 69 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,080 plates. 70 00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:02,280 The coins, totaling almost 2,000, were enough to buy 150 sheep back around that time period. 71 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:07,800 Archaeologists uncovered the coins from various mints in Germany, Switzerland, and France 72 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,720 despite challenging weather. 73 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,180 This extensive discovery offers new insights into medieval coin circulation and mining 74 00:06:16,180 --> 00:06:22,480 in the Gloterdal region, historically significant for the Dukes of Freiburg. 75 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:30,560 In business news, the NFL is considering changing its rules to allow private equity firms and 76 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,100 institutional investors to buy stakes in teams. 77 00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:40,800 This decision is expected to be discussed and potentially voted on by NFL team owners 78 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,240 and executives in Minneapolis on August 27. 79 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:51,400 If approved, private equity firms could own up to 30% of a single franchise, with no single 80 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,680 firm holding more than 10%. 81 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,440 Firms like Arctos Partners and Ayres Management are already in talks with the league. 82 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:06,520 However, actual investments may still take months to materialize as NFL teams finalize 83 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,600 the details. 84 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:14,960 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $60,400. 85 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,760 Ethereum is just over $2,600. 86 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,360 And Solana is $143. 87 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,720 Moving on to a more local vibe. 88 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,660 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 89 00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:38,000 to bring you some free

update introduces features like head gestures, allowing users to accept or reject 102 00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,040 calls by shaking their heads. 103 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,660 It also improves voice isolation in noisy environments and enhances custom spatial audio 104 00:08:39,660 --> 00:08:41,260 for gaming. 105 00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:45,960 The beta firmware is exclusive to AirPods Pro,

00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:53,040 And today, our quote comes from the Scottish knight, William Wallace. 120 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,040 And he said, 121 00:09:54,040 --> 00:10:00,840 When I was a boy, the priest, my uncle, carefully inculcated upon me this proverb, which I then 122 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,360 learned and have ever since kept in my mind. 123 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:13,840 Dico tv virum, libertas optima rerum, namquam servili, sub nexu vivido, philly. 124 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:20,600 This means, I tell you a truth, liberty is the best of things, my son, never live under 125
