I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:13.960 and it's Thursday, October 30th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:20.480 to know. 87 years ago, today, in 1938, a radio 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.500 dramatization of The War of the Worlds was presented 00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.730 in a realistic news bulletin style. and famously 00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.289 convinced many listeners they were hearing an 00:00:29.289 --> 00:00:33.689 actual alien invasion. That broadcast showcased 00:00:33.689 --> 00:00:36.929 the power of radio storytelling to stir public 00:00:36.929 --> 00:00:39.950 imagination and led to new conversations about 00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:43.329 media responsibility and the influence of mass 00:00:43.329 --> 00:00:49.130 entertainment. So now you know. And now, it's 00:00:49.130 --> 00:00:55.109 time for the Surf Report. Thursday at Tourmaline. 00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.539 This morning it's looking clean with waves at 00:00:58.539 --> 00:01:02.179 2 feet.

Combined enrollment at 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.560 SDSU's main campus and SDSU Imperial Valley reached 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.459 41 ,184 students, reflecting a nearly 5 % increase 00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:23.399 from last year. Nearly 7 ,000 were first -year 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.480 students, surpassing last year's record of 6 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:31.379 ,629. The university received applications from 00:04:31.379 --> 00:04:35.319 over 95 ,000 first -year applicants, another 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:40.899 record for SDSU.

Data shows SDSU's four -year graduation 00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:56.120 rate for first -time freshmen increased from 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:08.290 49 % in 2015 to 62 .2 % in 2021.

Last year, he played 00:05:18.889 --> 00:05:21.629 against Georgia despite a right shoulder injury 00:05:21.629 --> 00:05:25.889 that caused him immense pain. Miraculously, just 00:05:25.889 --> 00:05:28.600 days before the game, he was able to throw deep 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.100 passes. Head coach Brent Key noted that King 00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:35.720 has an innately high pain tolerance and can block 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.579 out pain. In a remarkable performance, King threw 00:05:39.579 --> 00:05:44.139 for 303 yards and ran for three touchdowns despite 00:05:44.139 --> 00:05:48.120 the Jackets loss in eight overtimes. His determination 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.459 has led Georgia Tech to an eight and zero record 00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:54.319 and a number seven ranking in the Associated 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.850 Press poll. in local sports.

Currently, the team 00:06:11.910 --> 00:06:14.670 holds a record of five wins and three losses 00:06:14.670 --> 00:06:19.089 after we gate.

While victories are not guaranteed, 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.560 the team has a strong chance to win each matchup. 00:06:33.339 --> 00:06:35.600 If successful, they could potentially reach a 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.480 record of nine wins and three losses by week 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.740 14, positioning them for a competitive season 00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:48.160 finish. In top news, Hurricane Melissa made landfall 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.779 in Cuba early Wednesday. as a Category 3 storm 00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:54.939 after devastating western Jamaica on Tuesday. 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.360 Melissa struck near Chivirico, Cuba, with wind 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.459 speeds of 125 mph at 3 a .m. and is now a Category 00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:10.939 2 storm with maximum winds of 100 mph. The storm 00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:13.699 is moving northeast, expected to reach Bermuda 00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:18.029 by Thursday night. In Jamaica, Flooding left 00:07:18.029 --> 00:07:22.089 77 % of homes without electricity, and the government 00:07:22.089 --> 00:07:27.509 declared a disaster area. More than 735 ,000 00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:31.089 people were evacuated in Cuba as officials prepared 00:07:31.089 --> 00:07:36.329 for widespread flooding. In business news, the 00:07:36.329 --> 00:07:38.889 Federal Reserve lowered interest rates at its 00:07:38.889 --> 00:07:41.410 second consecutive meeting, but Chair Jerome 00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:44.430 Powell cast doubt on expectations for a further 00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:48.139 rate cut this year. Powell emphasized that the 00:07:48.139 --> 00:07:50.720 notion of a cut at the Fed's next gathering in 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.680 December is far from a certainty. The Dow Jones 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.660 Industrial Average and the S &P 500 erased gains, 00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:02.139 while the Nasdaq Composite rose to a record high. 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.819 Powell's comments highlight a growing chorus 00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:09.920 of officials wary about additional cuts. The 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.360 Fed will stop reducing its asset portfolio on 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.959 December 1, marking a significant shift in policy. 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.819 Concerns about inflation and job growth continue 00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:23.740 to complicate the Fed's decisions.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:38.299 tech. America only hurts itself by discounting 00:09:38.299 --> 00:09:41.759 what China has done well. After months of trade 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.639 tensions, Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.500 are scheduled to meet in Korea for a possible 00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:50.440 agreement. This presents an occasion for the 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.960 United States to learn from China's rapid technological 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.519 advancements. China has become a powerhouse, 00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:00.600 leading in artificial intelligence patents and 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.559 clean energy technology. To regain its competitive 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.539 edge, the United States must embrace innovation 00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:11.679 and absorb talent from China. Excessive competition 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.440 in China has spurred unique advancements that 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.019 the U .S. can learn from. Ignoring these lessons 00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:24.580 may leave America lagging behind. Entertainment 00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:28.679 news. Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.360 hits like Tulsa King and Landman, is leaving 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.220 Paramount after tensions with new chief executive 00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:39.029 David Ellison's leadership team. Sheridan valued 00:10:39.029 --> 00:10:41.629 creative freedom at Paramount, but that began 00:10:41.629 --> 00:10:44.169 to change with Ellison's arrival, following the 00:10:44.169 --> 00:10:47.970 merger with Skydance. Disagreements over project 00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:50.610 pitches and budget scrutiny prompted Sheridan 00:10:50.610 --> 00:10:53.889 to sign a five -year contract with NBCUniversal, 00:10:54.309 --> 00:10:58.309 potentially worth up to $1 billion. While he 00:10:58.309 --> 00:11:00.549 plans to fulfill his remaining commitments to 00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:03.269 Paramount, the loss of Sheridan represents a 00:11:03.269 --> 00:11:06.090 significant challenge for Ellison. especially 00:11:06.090 --> 00:11:10.610 amid upcoming layoffs. Jareden's departure highlights 00:11:10.610 --> 00:11:13.870 the struggle between fostering talent and controlling 00:11:13.870 --> 00:11:18.409 costs in the entertainment industry. Well, alrighty 00:11:18.409 --> 00:11:22.429 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:11:22.429 --> 00:11:25.470 today, our quote comes from the American journalist 00:11:25.470 --> 00:11:35.100 and author Walter Lippman. And he said, And that's 00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:38.100 a wrap for this morning.
