00:03:41,800 the retirement of antiquated technology. 44 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,800 The non-renewals, starting in September and lasting through November, affect approximately 45 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,500 17,000 dwelling fire policyholders. 46 00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:57,200 This move impacts policies in multiple states, not just California. 47 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,560 Liberty Mutual, the seventh largest property and casualty insurer in California, still 48 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,560 offers dwelling fire insurance through its Safeco brand, though affected policyholders 49 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,320 were not immediately offered new policies. 50 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:21,400 This situation highlights broader issues in California's home insurance market. 51

--> 00:04:53,680 Carlisle, CVC, and Dynasty Equity. 58 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,880 Strict rules apply, including no governance rights and a minimum six-year holding period. 59 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,600 This policy opens the door for billions of dollars to flow into the league, enhancing 60 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,100 franchise valuations. 61 00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:15,960 In local

00:08:19,480 Boeing's Starliner is set to return to Earth next week, but its crew will remain in space 99 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320 until next year. 100 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,320 This

102 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,400 future. 103 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,720 NASA Administrator Bill Nelson expressed full confidence in Boeing's future flights, but 104 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,320 not everyone shares this optimism. 105 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:49,720 The mission faced glitches, extending the crew's stay from eight days to eight months. 106 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:55,080 Industry experts suggest Boeing might reconsider its focus on human spaceflight, given its 107 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,960 recent struggles and financial losses. 108 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,600 Entertainment news. 109 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,600 Francis Ford Coppola, renowned filmmaker, expressed to Rolling Stone that his aim with 110 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:15,080 Megalopolis was to avoid it being branded as some woke Hollywood production. 111 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,760 The film's cast features controversial figures like John Voight and Shia LaBeouf. 112 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,480 Coppola emphasized the cast includes people who were canceled. 113 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,000 He appreciated LaBeouf's intense approach, comparing him to Dennis Hopper. 114 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,840 Megalopolis stars Adam Driver and includes a notable supporting cast. 115 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Despite controversy at Cannes, including allegations against Coppola, Lionsgate will release the 116 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,320 film in theaters on September 27th, with a screening at the Toronto International Film 117 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,320 Festival. 118 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:55,360 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 119 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:02,300 And today, our quote comes from the American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr. 120 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:09,120 And he said, darkness cannot drag out darkness, only light can do that. 121 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,480 Hate cannot drag out hate, only love can do that. 122 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,080 And that's a wrap for this morning. 123 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:23,240 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
