This 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.399 pioneering achievement marked a significant milestone 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.659 in space exploration and telecommunications, 00:00:32.939 --> 00:00:35.380 paving the way for the development of modern 00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:38.460 satellite communications and global connectivity. 00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:44.859 So now you know.

Wednesday through Friday presents 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.900 mixed surf conditions with fair mornings transitioning 00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:53.939 to choppy afternoons. Wave heights remain around 00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:57.799 3 to 5 feet, peaking at 4 to 5 feet early Wednesday 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.519 before dropping slightly. Winds shift from light 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.480 south to stronger southwest, impacting quality. 00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:08.360 While Wednesday offers some fun rides, the following 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.860 days may lead to less desirable conditions, making 00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:16.669 for a bumpy experience overall. This morning, 00:02:16.729 --> 00:02:20.270 there's patchy fog, and it feels like 68 degrees 00:02:20.270 --> 00:02:25.310 with 5 mph wind.

In local 00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:55.939 news, nearly 95 ,000 San Diego Unified students 00:03:55.939 --> 00:03:59.199 have returned to a decidedly different classroom 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.340 experience as the district launches the 2025 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:06.539 -26 academic year, along with new mobile phone 00:04:06.539 --> 00:04:11.939 rules across 175 schools. The district will enforce 00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:14.979 phone -free school day guidelines aimed at reducing 00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:17.480 distractions and supporting students' mental 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.240 health and academic performance. This policy 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.759 requires students from transitional kindergarten 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.240 through 12th grade to turn off phones and keep 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.480 them out of sight during regular school hours. 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.939 The district boasts a 90 .9 % graduation rate 00:04:33.939 --> 00:04:37.620 with strong academic momentum and increased athletic 00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:47.529 participation. Now on to sports. The first associated 00:04:47.529 --> 00:04:50.870 press poll of the 2025 college football season 00:04:50.870 --> 00:04:54.350 has been released, with Texas, Penn State, and 00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:58.129 Ohio State leading the rankings. Texas kicks 00:04:58.129 --> 00:05:01.009 off the season at number one, facing a significant 00:05:01.009 --> 00:05:03.949 challenge against third -ranked Ohio State on 00:05:03.949 --> 00:05:07.879 August 30th. The Southeastern Conference boasts 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.439 10 teams in the top 25, the most ever by one 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.199 conference. Notable statistics include Texas' 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.060 26 turnovers last season and Penn State's impressive 00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:25.759 3 ,237 rushing yards. As the season begins, excitement 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.660 builds around these powerhouse teams and their 00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:34.269 upcoming matchups. In local sports, Last night 00:05:34.269 --> 00:05:37.490 at Oracle Park in San Francisco, the Padres beat 00:05:37.490 --> 00:05:41.430 the Giants 4 -1. Hugh Darvish earned the win, 00:05:41.610 --> 00:05:44.790 pitching six innings with four hits and one run 00:05:44.790 --> 00:05:48.870 allowed. Furman homered, and Cronenworth added 00:05:48.870 --> 00:05:53.209 an RBI single. The Friars finished with 10 hits 00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:57.389 and no errors. San Diego's record improves to 00:05:57.389 --> 00:06:01.370 67 -52 as they take Game 1 of the series over 00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:05.399 the Giants. Tonight, the Padres and Giants clash 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.639 again for Game 2 of this three -game series. 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.240 Nestor Cortez, who is 1 -1 with a 7 .11 earned 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.600 run average, faces Robbie Ray, who is 9 -5 with 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.860 a 2 .85. First pitch at 6 .45 under clear skies 00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:27.160 and a comfortable 65 degrees at Oracle Park. 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:33.189 In top news, in a bold move, President Trump 00:06:33.189 --> 00:06:35.529 has deployed National Guard troops to Washington, 00:06:35.730 --> 00:06:38.850 D .C., placing the city's police department under 00:06:38.850 --> 00:06:42.170 federal control. At a recent news conference, 00:06:42.449 --> 00:06:45.730 Trump declared, This is Liberation Day in D .C., 00:06:45.730 --> 00:06:49.009 and we're going to take our capital back. He 00:06:49.009 --> 00:06:51.930 dispatched approximately 800 National Guard troops 00:06:51.930 --> 00:06:55.269 and indicated he may involve active -duty military 00:06:55.269 --> 00:06:59.209 personnel if necessary. Local leaders, including 00:06:59.209 --> 00:07:02.129 Mayor Muriel Bowser, criticized the decision 00:07:02.129 --> 00:07:06.629 as unsettling and unprecedented. The president's 00:07:06.629 --> 00:07:09.089 actions are intended to address rising crime 00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:12.329 rates with a focus on ensuring safety for all 00:07:12.329 --> 00:07:17.709 citizens in the capital. In business news, some 00:07:17.709 --> 00:07:20.810 debts are not worth paying back, especially when 00:07:20.810 --> 00:07:24.410 it comes to zombie debt. This type of old debt 00:07:24.410 --> 00:07:27.069 is often uncollectible after a certain period. 00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:30.339 but collection agencies may try to intimidate 00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:33.079 individuals into restarting payment timelines. 00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:36.939 Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices 00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:40.139 Act, once the legal deadline passes, the debt 00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:43.600 becomes time -barred, meaning collectors cannot 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.939 sue. However, hold debts can resurface after 00:07:47.939 --> 00:07:51.620 inactivity. It is crucial to regularly review 00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:54.860 credit reports, know your rights, and ask for 00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:58.589 proof of the debt. Remember, taking action could 00:07:58.589 --> 00:08:02.769 inadvertently restart the collection clock. Stay 00:08:02.769 --> 00:08:06.430 informed and protect yourself. In crypto movement, 00:08:06.810 --> 00:08:13.990 Bitcoin is down 2 % to $119 ,000. Ethereum is 00:08:13.990 --> 00:08:20.009 down 1 % to just under $4 ,300. And XRP is down 00:08:20.009 --> 00:08:27.480 3 % to $3 .16. Moving on to a more local vibe. 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.420 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, 00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:34.460 we are working with a national Pilates studio 00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:37.759 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.820 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations 00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:45.820 in the San Diego area.

Just be sure to tell them 00:09:09.649 --> 00:09:13.870 Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the 00:09:13.870 --> 00:09:19.940 show. Let's talk tech. Futurists predict that 00:09:19.940 --> 00:09:22.740 humans could live for 1 ,000 years by the year 00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:26.779 2050, ushering in the era of practical immortality. 00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:30.279 While advancements in artificial intelligence, 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.340 robotics, and digital consciousness transfer 00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:36.500 spark hope, some experts caution that societal 00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:41.700 and economic hurdles may hinder access. Visionaries 00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:44.860 like Ray Kurzweil and Ian Pearson anticipate 00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:47.620 breakthroughs that will extend life significantly. 00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:50.759 projecting a merger of humans and machines by 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:55.139 2045. However, critics argue that the promise 00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:57.879 of technology comes with challenges, including 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:02.019 potential inequalities. As we approach these 00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:05.000 possibilities, questions about motivation and 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:14.159 societal impact remain ever relevant. This week, 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.480 the Perseid meteor shower, hailed by NASA as 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.519 the best meteor shower of the year, will light 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.059 up our skies. The peak viewing nights are August 00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:27.179 12th and 13th, although a full moon may obscure 00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:31.620 some of the meteors. The Perseids, which originate 00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:34.500 from the constellation Perseus, can produce up 00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:38.679 to 100 meteors per hour at their height. Bascued 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.980 in the northern hemisphere during the pre -dawn 00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:44.000 hours, Stargazers are encouraged to find dark 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.940 areas, lie back, and be patient. Enjoy this dazzling 00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:51.720 display of fireballs and bright trails of light. 00:10:52.940 --> 00:10:56.340 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote 00:10:56.340 --> 00:11:00.379 of the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:03.519 American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. 00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:08.230 And he said, The saddest aspect of life right 00:11:08.230 --> 00:11:10.970 now is that science gathers knowledge faster 00:11:10.970 --> 00:11:16.169 and society gathers wisdom. And that's a wrap 00:11:16.169 --> 00:11:19.230 for this morning.
