00:03:43,040 of Hjøenglombing, also known as citrus greening, in one mandarin tree during a routine inspection. 45 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,400 This bacterial disease poses a significant threat to the region's estimated annual citrus 46 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,440 crop worth $138 million and can affect local citrus tree owners. 47 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:02,080 The quarantine impacts over 450 businesses, including more than 100 growers with approximately 48 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,440 830 acres of commercial citrus. 49 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,440 San Diego County Agricultural Commissioner Ha Dang emphasized the importance of cooperation 50 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:19,960 to prevent the disease from spreading. 51 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,400 Now on to sports. 52 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,320 Today on Thursday Night Football, the Patriots head to MetLife Stadium to take on the New 53 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,640 York Jets in a pivotal Week 3 AFC East Clash. 54 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:39,840 With both teams sitting at 1-1, the Patriots will lean on Jacoby Brissette, who has 279 55 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:43,360 yards and one touchdown so far. 56 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:51,040 New York, led by Aaron Rodgers, will look to continue their strong start after his 462-yard, 57 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,360 four-touchdown performance. 58 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,240 The Jets are favored with a 67% win probability. 59 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,800 The Patriots defense will need to contain Brice Hall, who has 201 rushing yards this 60 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,920 season as they aim to pull off the upset. 61 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:14,880 Kickoff is set for 8.15 Eastern, in local sports. 62 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,960 Last night, the Padres dominated the Astros 4-0 thanks to a brilliant pitching performance 63 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,020 from Dylan Cease, who carried a shutout into the ninth inning. 64 00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:31,920 The offense came alive in the eighth as Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Donovan Solano 65 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,800 hit back-to-back-to-back home runs. 66 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,280 Machado's first homer in the sixth set the tone for the late-game barrage. 67 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:48,120 With the win, the Padres improved to 87-66, remaining three-and-a-half games behind the 68 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,360 Dodgers in the NL West. 69 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,320 The Padres are off tonight, but will host the Chicago White Sox tomorrow at Petco Park. 70 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,600 Jomas Grove takes the mound for the Friars, facing Garrett Krushet. 71 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600 First pitch is at 6.40. 72 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:12,600 In top news, the Federal Reserve has made its first interest rate cut in four years, 73 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,280 signaling a shift in its longstanding policy of rate hikes. 74 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:23,120 Chief economist Joe Bruseula stated, this will improve the material well-being of all 75 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,200 Americans. 76 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,400 The Fed lowered rates by a half percentage point, which will impact hiring, inflation, 77 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,560 the housing market, stocks, and borrowing costs. 78 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,840 Michael Matowicz, principal economist at the Roosevelt Institute, emphasized that this 79 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:45,400 rate cut is great news for the middle class, indicating a recovery towards sustainable 80 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,960 economic growth and increased job creation opportunities. 81 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:58,440 In business news, in a significant move, Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, 82 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,920 announced on Wednesday that the company has increased its convertible senior notes offering 83 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,640 from $700 million to $875 million. 84 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,560 This funding will enable MicroStrategy to acquire even more Bitcoin. 85 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,760 However, the announcement had an immediate impact on the market, with the stock price 86 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,560 of MicroStrategy dipping over 1% in response. 87 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,040 As the company continues its aggressive strategy in the cryptocurrency space, investors are 88 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,320 closely monitoring these developments. 89 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:42,880 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $62,000, Ethereum is just under $2,400, and 90 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,520 Solana is $139. 91 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,840 Moving on to a more local vibe. 92 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,800 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we

00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,360 And now back to the show. 102 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360 Let's talk tech. 103 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,200 TCL is facing serious allegations this month after tests on three of its televisions, 104 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:54,760 marketed as quantum dot TBs, reportedly showed no evidence of actual quantum dots. 105 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,200 Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor particles that emit various colors of light when exposed 106 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,880 to specific frequencies. 107 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,640 They enhance the color range on premium televisions and monitors. 108 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,880 If TCL is found to be misrepresenting standard televisions as quantum dot models, it could 109 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:20,160 lead to significant scandals, erode consumer trust, and prompt legal consequences. 110 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:26,960 However, conflicting test results and skepticism about TCL's ability to execute such a scam 111 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,640 raise questions about the validity of these accusations. 112 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,560 Entertainment news. 113 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:40,880 Hence, about a sequel to Constantine have been circulating for years, although it was 114 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,800 not a top priority due to Keanu Reeves' commitments to other projects. 115 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:54,320 The film, released in 2005, became a cult favorite, sparking genuine interest in a follow-up. 116 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,400 Director Francis Lawrence showed interest in 2011, while Peter Stormare seemingly confirmed 117 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,080 it in 2020. 118 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,000 By 2021, Reeves indicated he had tried to progress the project. 119 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,480 Finally, in 2022, Warner Bros. confirmed the sequel is underway, with Reeves and Lawrence 120 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,280 returning. 121 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,680 More details are eagerly anticipated. 122 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:25,880 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 123 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:33,120 And today, our quote comes from the American novelist and journalist, Ernest Hemingway. 124 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,120 And he said, 125 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,880 What man is not made for defeat? 126 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,800 A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. 127 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,420 And that's a wrap for this morning. 128 00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:51,400 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 129 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,000 with local news and the surf reports. 130 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,840 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 131 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:24,760 We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
