Rezone officials 00:04:09.909 --> 00:04:12.990 recommend travelers take alternative routes and 00:04:12.990 --> 00:04:22.269 plan ahead for delays. Now on to sports. The 00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:24.810 early signing period for college football kicked 00:04:24.810 --> 00:04:28.829 off yesterday as teams build their 2026 rosters 00:04:28.829 --> 00:04:31.769 and prepare for conference title games and the 00:04:31.769 --> 00:04:35.050 college football playoff. Despite predictions 00:04:35.050 --> 00:04:38.509 that name, image, and likeness compensation would 00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:41.850 consolidate talent, nearly 20 schools have signed 00:04:41.850 --> 00:04:44.829 or received commitments from five -star recruits 00:04:44.829 --> 00:04:48.680 this year. Programs like Notre Dame, Alabama, 00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:51.879 and Oregon are tied for the most five -star players, 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.819 while Vanderbilt flipped top -ranked quarterback 00:04:54.819 --> 00:04:59.300 Jared Curtis from Georgia. USC holds the nation's 00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:02.779 top recruiting class with 31 signatures, while 00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:05.120 the Big Ten struggles with quarterback recruiting, 00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:10.220 securing only one top -ten prospect.

The Chargers 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.220 are optimistic that quarterback Justin Herbert 00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:25.879 will start against the Eagles on Monday night 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.480 football, despite a broken hand. While Herbert 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.519 did not practice on Wednesday, he still participated 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.279 in team walkthroughs. Head coach Jim Harbaugh 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.759 stated that the team is preparing as if Herbert 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.100 will be the starter. Harbaugh confirmed that 00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:44.600 the same exact game plan will be in place for 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.540 both Herbert and backup quarterback Trey Lance. 00:05:48.779 --> 00:05:51.279 Herbert is focused on his recovery and aims to 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.180 play on Monday, though adjustments may be necessary 00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:57.259 for the offense. The team will publish final 00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:03.620 injury reports on Saturday. In top news, Anthropic 00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:07.160 Chief Executive Officer Dario Amadei stated that 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.480 as artificial intelligence technology transforms 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.040 the economy, the government will need to step 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.300 in and retrain the workforce. He emphasized that 00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.779 while some business leaders downplay the job 00:06:19.779 --> 00:06:23.040 loss risks, it is crucial to expect such changes 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.100 and for the government to facilitate the transition. 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.540 Amadei remarked, I do not see retraining programs 00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:33.319 as a panacea, but I think we are going to need 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.720 some form of that. He also expressed concern 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.279 that some view this technology as similar to 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.110 past revolutions. asserting that those familiar 00:06:42.110 --> 00:06:46.129 with AI do not share that perspective. He warned 00:06:46.129 --> 00:06:49.110 that in the next five years, half of all entry 00:06:49.110 --> 00:06:51.610 -level jobs could vanish, pushing unemployment 00:06:51.610 --> 00:06:57.189 rates to between 10 % and 20%. In business news, 00:06:58.470 --> 00:07:00.850 New Yorkers are now seeing warnings about stores 00:07:00.850 --> 00:07:04.670 using personal data to set online prices, thanks 00:07:04.670 --> 00:07:07.430 to new consumer protection legislation that took 00:07:07.430 --> 00:07:11.810 effect in early November. This law, already subject 00:07:11.810 --> 00:07:14.569 to lawsuits, requires companies to disclose when 00:07:14.569 --> 00:07:17.449 they use surveillance pricing, potentially raising 00:07:17.449 --> 00:07:19.790 costs for some while lowering them for others. 00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:23.889 During Black Friday sales, shoppers notice messages 00:07:23.889 --> 00:07:27.449 stating, this price was set by an algorithm using 00:07:27.449 --> 00:07:31.350 your personal data. Surveillance pricing remains 00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:34.470 legal, enforcing transparency rather than banning 00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:37.790 the practice. Other states are also considering 00:07:37.790 --> 00:07:41.240 similar legislation. though pushback from industries 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.740 remains strong. The implications of personal 00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:47.879 data usage for pricing raise significant privacy 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.759 concerns. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:59.180 at about $94 ,000. Ethereum is up 4 % to just 00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:05.720 over $3 ,200. And XRP is down 1 % to $2 .19. 00:08:07.570 --> 00:08:12.490 Moving on to a more local vibe.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:08:59.470 --> 00:09:03.409 science. Earth's hidden eighth continent is no 00:09:03.409 --> 00:09:06.899 longer lost. Researchers have finally mapped 00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:10.519 Zealandia, a landmass predominantly submerged 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.779 under the sea. This underwater region spans nearly 00:09:14.779 --> 00:09:18.820 2 million square miles. Using rock samples from 00:09:18.820 --> 00:09:22.120 the seabed, scientists analyzed North Zealandia's 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.720 geology, completing the mapping process. The 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.059 research, led by Nick Mortimer, revealed geological 00:09:29.059 --> 00:09:33.419 formations dating back up to 130 million years. 00:09:34.090 --> 00:09:37.929 While most of Zealandia is uninhabitable, its 00:09:37.929 --> 00:09:40.629 status as a potential eighth continent is now 00:09:40.629 --> 00:09:44.250 recognized. This groundbreaking study changes 00:09:44.250 --> 00:09:47.710 our understanding of Zealandia's geological history 00:09:47.710 --> 00:09:50.809 and its connection to the ancient supercontinent, 00:09:51.149 --> 00:09:58.730 Gondwana. Entertainment news. Boston Blue and 00:09:58.730 --> 00:10:01.149 Sheriff Country have been renewed for second 00:10:01.149 --> 00:10:05.600 seasons on CBS. These dramas are the top two 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.860 first -year network shows of the season so far. 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.639 CBS has placed its first two renewal orders for 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:17.620 the 2026 to 2027 season. Both series are spinoffs 00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:21.299 of other CBS shows, Blue Bloods and Fire Country. 00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:25.600 According to Nielsen's ratings, Boston Blue averages 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:29.019 8 million cross -platform viewers, while Sheriff 00:10:29.019 --> 00:10:34.139 Country has 7 .6 million. CBS Entertainment president 00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:37.779 Amy Reisenbach stated, These early renewals reflect 00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:40.799 the power of character -driven storytelling and 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.440 compelling narratives. Both shows have quickly 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.299 embraced audiences across broadcast and streaming. 00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:51.840 Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.820 of the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:58.700 American author and futurist, Alvin Toffler. 00:10:59.779 --> 00:11:03.480 And he said, The illiterate of the 21st century 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.340 will not be those who cannot read and write, 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.139 but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. 00:11:11.700 --> 00:11:14.980 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:18.700 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:22.000 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.529 the surf reports.
