Damon Jones, a former NBA player 00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:20.000 and assistant coach, has found himself at the 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.620 center of a significant betting scandal. He's 00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:26.319 accused of leaking inside information to sports 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.139 bettors using his friendship with LeBron James. 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.360 Jones was arrested last week as part of a federal 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.819 investigation into an illegal gambling ring linked 00:04:36.819 --> 00:04:40.790 to organized crime.

Lozano expressed 00:06:03.790 --> 00:06:06.779 his regret on social media stating he has taken 00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:11.920 responsibility for his actions. In top news, 00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:15.399 food stamp funding is set to run out in a matter 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.459 of days amid the country's second -longest government 00:06:18.459 --> 00:06:21.500 shutdown, leaving struggling Americans without 00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.339 financial assistance during a period of higher 00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.540 grocery prices. The United States Department 00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:30.319 of Agriculture, which operates the Supplemental 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.360 Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.120 as SNAP, stated that, at this time, there will 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:42.000 be no benefits issued November 1.

Public 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.740 policy professor Luke Schaefer warned that many 00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:53.579 may face tough choices, saying, am I going to 00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:55.980 pay my rent, or am I going to eat this month? 00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:59.980 Contingency funding remains available, but the 00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:03.100 agency claims it cannot use that money for regular 00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:08.990 benefits. In business news, Sora has lost its 00:07:08.990 --> 00:07:13.310 App Store crown to Dave's Hot Chicken. This popular 00:07:13.310 --> 00:07:16.750 app has taken the top spot, ending Sora's impressive 00:07:16.750 --> 00:07:20.649 weeks -long reign. Since its launch on September 00:07:20.649 --> 00:07:24.569 30th, Sora dominated the charts due to its user 00:07:24.569 --> 00:07:29.029 -friendly AI video generation. However, on Friday, 00:07:29.269 --> 00:07:31.899 it was dethroned by Dave's Hot Chicken. which 00:07:31.899 --> 00:07:34.879 is running a promotion for free sliders to celebrate 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.939 Drake's birthday.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:14.360 tech. Scammers are targeting Americans in a clever 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.759 new debit card scheme. While many believe credit 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.500 cards are the most targeted payment method, It 00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:23.220 is actually debit cards that fraudsters pursue 00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:27.059 the most. A recent Federal Reserve survey indicates 00:09:27.059 --> 00:09:31.240 a rise in such cases. One bizarre scheme involves 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.779 victims being told to destroy their debit cards 00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:37.379 while leaving the chip intact. Skimmers then 00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:39.940 collect these cards using social engineering 00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:43.080 to obtain PIN numbers and access bank accounts. 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.600 Consumers are at greater risk of loss with debit 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.740 cards as funds are withdrawn immediately upon 00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:54.100 unauthorized access. To protect yourself, monitor 00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:57.279 your accounts regularly and avoid sharing sensitive 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:04.419 information. Entertainment news. Some people 00:10:04.419 --> 00:10:06.919 are good at making hit television and streaming 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.799 shows. Taylor Sheridan is really good at it, 00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:14.080 as he is the creator of Yellowstone, Landman, 00:10:14.139 --> 00:10:17.440 and more. That is why it is surprising that he 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.159 is leaving Paramount, which was counting on him 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.639 to create more hits for Comcast. Sheridan is 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.399 arguably the most powerful creator in television 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.779 and streaming today, generating a reported $2 00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:34.539 .9 billion in revenue from Yellowstone alone. 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.779 It is a puzzling decision, especially for Paramount's 00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:41.940 new owner, David Ellison, who knows the value 00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:46.139 of a single megastar. Well, all righty, folks. 00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:50.220 It's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.399 our quote comes from the American poet and author 00:10:53.399 --> 00:11:08.220 T .S. Eliot. And he said, And that's a wrap for 00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:11.179 this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.139 YouTube, and TikTok. for some captivating aerial 00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:18.220 videos with local news and the surf reports. 00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:22.019 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
