By Thursday, expect clean 2 - to 3 -foot waves

00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.139

coffee. They are open every day from 8 to 5.

00:03:52.830 --> 00:03:56.789
So stop on by and don't forget to tell them Sunny

00:03:56.789 --> 00:04:02.370
Morning sent you. In local news, the city of

00:04:02.370 --> 00:04:05.110
Del Mar is facing challenges regarding a mixed

00:04:05.110 --> 00:04:08.189
-income housing development known as Seaside

00:04:08.189 --> 00:04:12.849
Ridge. The proposal includes 259 apartment units.

00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:18.120
with 42 designated as affordable housing. A spokesperson

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.360
for the project, Darren Pudgel, indicated that

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.959
a recent court hearing prompted the city to provide

00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.540
a final determination within 60 days. Pudgel

00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:31.459
expressed optimism, citing a similar successful

00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:34.899
lawsuit in La Canada, where a housing project

00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:38.500
was ultimately permitted. In San Diego County,

00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:41.500
the area median income for a family of four in

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:54.980
2025 is set at $132 ,400. Now on to sports. Rafael

00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:58.560
Devers' debut at first base did not go smoothly

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.379
for the San Francisco Giants, who suffered a

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:05.100
close 2 -1 loss against the New York Mets. Now

00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:08.220
just three games above the 500 mark, the Giants

00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:10.459
are struggling in the National League wildcard

00:05:10.459 --> 00:05:13.490
race. and the much -anticipated Devers' trade

00:05:13.490 --> 00:05:17.629
has yet to elevate the team's performance. While

00:05:17.629 --> 00:05:20.350
Devers has the potential to improve, his initial

00:05:20.350 --> 00:05:24.269
performance raised concerns among fans. Despite

00:05:24.269 --> 00:05:26.870
some bright moments, such as an impressive play

00:05:26.870 --> 00:05:29.149
in the fourth inning, the Giants may need to

00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:32.430
reconsider his defensive role and possibly return

00:05:32.430 --> 00:05:38.750
him to the D -H position. In local sports. Yesterday

00:05:38.750 --> 00:05:42.139
morning in St. Footy, The Padres beat the Cardinals

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:46.879
9 -2 at Busch Stadium. Manny's four -hit performance,

00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.480
including two doubles, fueled the offense as

00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.519
the Padres tally 16 hits, with Bogarts and Merrill

00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.100
both homering. Kolek earned the win, pitching

00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:01.079
five strong innings, while McGreevy struggled,

00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.259
taking the loss after allowing five runs. The

00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:09.360
Friars' record now stands at 57 -49. keeping

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.819
them in the playoff hunt. Tonight, the Friars

00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:15.800
host the Mets at Petco Park for game one of a

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.980
three -game series. Dillon sees, with a 3 -10

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:24.079
record and a 4 .59 earned run average, faces

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:29.600
Frankie Montes, who holds a 3 -1 and 4 .62. First

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.480
pitch at 640 under clear skies and 72 degrees.

00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:39.850
In top news. In Las Vegas, workers are facing

00:06:39.850 --> 00:06:42.790
a significant challenge as tourism declines this

00:06:42.790 --> 00:06:45.730
year, impacting their tip income dramatically.

00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:50.750
Visits have decreased by 6 .5 % compared to last

00:06:50.750 --> 00:06:54.589
year, and workers such as bartenders, showgirls,

00:06:54.589 --> 00:06:57.709
and dealers report tips have shrunk by more than

00:06:57.709 --> 00:07:01.670
half. Although Congress recently exempted up

00:07:01.670 --> 00:07:05.410
to $25 ,000 in tips from personal income taxes,

00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.240
many feel it does not offset the drop in earnings.

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:13.120
Rising living costs further complicate matters,

00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:16.420
as workers rely heavily on tips to make ends

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:20.579
meet. As one tattoo artist said, we're all starting

00:07:20.579 --> 00:07:25.759
to freak out. In business news, Warren Buffett

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.699
is sending a blunt message regarding social security,

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.439
urging lawmakers to prevent benefit cuts. Social

00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.720
Security is a vital income source for many retired

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.360
Americans, with nearly 40 % of men and 44 % of

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.920
women aged 65 and older relying on it for half

00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.399
or more of their income. The average retiree

00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.220
receives about $2 ,000 in monthly benefits, which

00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:56.240
is insufficient amidst rising inflation. Buffett

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.720
warns that without changes, the program's trust

00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.329
fund could run out by 2033. risking a staggering

00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:08.269
23 % cut in benefits. Lawmakers must act quickly

00:08:08.269 --> 00:08:12.829
to avert a senior poverty crisis. In crypto movement,

00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:18.649
Bitcoin is up 3 % over the weekend to about $119

00:08:18.649 --> 00:08:24.490
,000. Ethereum is up 7 % to just under $3 ,900.

00:08:25.250 --> 00:08:33.710
And XRP is up 6 % to $3 .26. Moving on to a more

00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:38.330
local vibe. In our community spotlight on health

00:08:38.330 --> 00:08:40.909
and wellness, we are working with a national

Just be sure to tell them sunny morning sent

00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.059
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk

00:09:24.059 --> 00:09:27.379
science. Recent research reveals that groundwater

00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:31.450
pumping has caused Earth to tilt 31 .5 inches

00:09:31.450 --> 00:09:35.190
over the past two decades, impacting its rotation

00:09:35.190 --> 00:09:39.269
and contributing to sea level rise. The study

00:09:39.269 --> 00:09:41.690
published in the journal Geophysical Research

00:09:41.690 --> 00:09:44.769
Letters highlights that this tilt is linked to

00:09:44.769 --> 00:09:48.490
2 ,100 gigatons of groundwater being redistributed,

00:09:48.669 --> 00:09:53.750
primarily for irrigation and human use. Kang

00:09:53.750 --> 00:09:57.009
Wian -seo, a geophysicist involved in the study,

00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.019
emphasizes the significant role of groundwater

00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:04.159
in climate -related changes. Understanding these

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.860
shifts could aid conservationists in addressing

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:10.299
climate challenges and mitigating sea level rise.

00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.779
Entertainment News. The Fantastic Four First

00:10:17.779 --> 00:10:20.539
Steps has taken the top spot at the box office.

00:10:21.070 --> 00:10:25.669
earning an impressive $118 million in the U .S.

00:10:25.669 --> 00:10:31.490
and Canada and $218 million globally during its

00:10:31.490 --> 00:10:34.990
opening weekend. This marks a triumphant return

00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:37.730
for the franchise under Walt Disney Company's

00:10:37.730 --> 00:10:42.210
ownership. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby,

00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:46.389
Ibn Mas Bakrach, and Joseph Quinn, the film received

00:10:46.389 --> 00:10:50.620
an 88 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. signaling

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:54.720
a quality comeback. In contrast, DC Studios'

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.559
Superman landed in second place with $24 .9 million

00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:04.679
domestically and a total of $503 million worldwide.

00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.379
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote

00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:13.259
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the

00:11:13.259 --> 00:11:16.259
American author and philosopher, William James

00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:21.210
Durant. And he said, The future never just happened.

00:11:21.350 --> 00:11:24.769
It was created emphasizing the power of resilience

00:11:24.769 --> 00:11:29.870
and proactive efforts in shaping outcomes. And

00:11:29.870 --> 00:11:32.950
that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
