This momentous occasion marked 00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:29.100 the culmination of a long journey from the overthrow 00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:33.359 of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and subsequent 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:38.479 annexation by the United States in 1898. The 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.000 strategic importance of Hawaii during World War 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.060 II, particularly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.420 highlighted its value to the United States.

Now on to 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.699 sports. The PGA Tour is set for gigantic changes, 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.839 as Tiger Woods leads a new committee aimed at 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.180 modernizing the Tour. Woods, who has seen the 00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:53.120 sport evolve over his three decades, is tackling 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.779 the challenge of reshaping how the Tour operates. 00:04:57.100 --> 00:04:59.600 With potential changes like fewer events and 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.180 higher stakes, the goal is to get the biggest 00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:06.000 stars competing together more often. Woods stated, 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.660 emphasizing the need for a clean sheet of paper. 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.420 As the tour navigates competition from L .I .V. 00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:17.579 Golf, its leadership remains committed to enhancing 00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:21.839 the sport while balancing player interests in 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.379 local sports. Last night at Petco Park, the Padres 00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:30.680 beat the Giants 8 -1.

Tonight, the Padres face the Giants again 00:05:54.889 --> 00:05:58.970 for the final game of the series. Dylan Cease 00:05:58.970 --> 00:06:03.930 is 5 -11, with a 4 .61 earned run average, faces 00:06:03.930 --> 00:06:07.949 Justin Verlander. who is 1 in 9 with a 4 .23. 00:06:09.350 --> 00:06:12.910 First pitch is at 110 at Petco Park under clear 00:06:12.910 --> 00:06:19.250 skies and 80 degrees. In top news, in Silicon 00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:22.230 Valley, a growing obsession with creating smarter 00:06:22.230 --> 00:06:26.529 babies is emerging among tech executives. Many 00:06:26.529 --> 00:06:29.129 are investing tens of thousands of dollars in 00:06:29.129 --> 00:06:32.129 genetic testing services that promise to screen 00:06:32.129 --> 00:06:36.319 embryos for intelligence. Steve Benson -Tilsen, 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.360 a mathematician, leads the Berkeley Genomics 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.839 Project, advocating for this new frontier. Matchmakers 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.779 are pairing tech leaders with high IQ partners, 00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:51.100 further fueling this trend. However, biathesis 00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:53.879 warn about the implications of genetic selection, 00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:57.420 questioning fairness, and unintended consequences. 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.980 While some believe it could lead to higher intelligence, 00:07:01.209 --> 00:07:04.069 Experts caution that current methods only predict 00:07:04.069 --> 00:07:08.269 modest improvements in cognitive ability. In 00:07:08.269 --> 00:07:12.129 business news, the United States labor force 00:07:12.129 --> 00:07:15.389 is shrinking at alarming rates, signaling potential 00:07:15.389 --> 00:07:18.970 economic disaster. Over the past three months, 00:07:19.170 --> 00:07:24.649 the country has lost 790 ,000 workers, a significant 00:07:24.649 --> 00:07:27.649 drop in immigration, and challenges like high 00:07:27.649 --> 00:07:31.800 childcare costs or contributing factors. Companies 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.560 are struggling to hire talent, particularly in 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.740 the tech sector, where giants like Meta and Microsoft 00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:41.899 are vying for limited resources. However, many 00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:45.000 businesses may soon scale back hiring, impacting 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.620 consumer spending, which drives nearly 70 % of 00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:52.899 the economy. Without smart policy changes, reversing 00:07:52.899 --> 00:07:56.660 this trend seems unlikely. In crypto movement, 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:03.199 Bitcoin is up 0 .5 % to just over $114 ,000. 00:08:04.339 --> 00:08:09.600 Ethereum is up 4 % to just over $4 ,300. And 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.899 XRP is up 2 % to $2 .93. Moving on to a more 00:08:16.899 --> 00:08:21.439 local vibe.
