You'll be interested 00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:20.420 to know. 89 years ago, today, in 1936, Edward 00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:23.500 VIII chose to relinquish the throne to Mary Wallace 00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.780 Simpson, a twice -divorced American social aide. 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.079 creating a constitutional and emotional moment 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.719 for the monarchy. His decision transformed the 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.380 crown by placing personal choice and public duty 00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:41.039 intention and led to a renewed emphasis on stability 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.939 and continuity in royal succession. So now you 00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:50.500 know. And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:56.880 Thursday at Tourmaline. This morning, it's looking 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.899 clean with waves around 2 plus feet. Conditions 00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:03.500 should stay clean until around noon when they 00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:07.920 shift to 2 to 3 feet. Winds are currently sideshore 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.579 at 1 mile per hour, picking up to onshore at 00:01:11.579 --> 00:01:15.519 4 miles per hour by midday.

The first low tide on Thursday will be 00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:35.540 2 .5 feet at 9 a .m., followed by a 4 -foot high 00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:40.219 tide at 2 .15. The nearshore buoy at Mission 00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:44.079 Bay West reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:48.579 Friday brings clean conditions with waves ranging 00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:52.459 from 3 to 5 feet, ideal for catching some fun 00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:56.430 rides. Saturday sees a slight drop in size to 00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:59.329 three to four plus feet, but unsure winds in 00:01:59.329 --> 00:02:03.129 the afternoon create choppy conditions. Sunday 00:02:03.129 --> 00:02:05.609 starts off with smaller two plus foot waves, 00:02:05.950 --> 00:02:08.389 but expect choppy conditions throughout the day, 00:02:08.789 --> 00:02:11.189 making Saturday the standout day this period. 00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:16.129 This morning, it's sunny and it feels like 58 00:02:16.129 --> 00:02:20.389 degrees with no wind. The sunset will take place 00:02:20.389 --> 00:02:24.680 at 443. and it will rise again tomorrow at 645. 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.699 It looks like we're in for some sunny weather 00:02:27.699 --> 00:02:31.360 today, with a high near 73 and a light northwest 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.960 breeze.

In local 00:03:45.250 --> 00:03:50.469 news, starting in January 2026, critically acclaimed 00:03:50.469 --> 00:03:53.389 British street artist Banksy will bring the art 00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:57.150 of Banksy without limits to San Diego, showcasing 00:03:57.150 --> 00:04:00.150 at the Delmar Fairgrounds Activity Center beginning 00:04:00.150 --> 00:04:04.449 January 30th. This comprehensive exhibit features 00:04:04.449 --> 00:04:08.090 over 200 artworks, including certified originals, 00:04:08.310 --> 00:04:11.229 prints, photographs, lithographs, sculptures, 00:04:11.430 --> 00:04:14.719 and murals, plus an infinity room, and a unique 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.560 installation dedicated to Ukraine. Tickets go 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.319 on sale today at 9 a .m. and prices range from 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.639 $28 to $34, with various discounts available. 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.100 As the exhibition's producer, Serena Berleque 00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:34.300 emphasizes that Banksy's art seeks to provoke, 00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:38.339 shock, and even unsettle society, conveying important 00:04:38.339 --> 00:04:46.569 values that can transform the world. Now on to 00:04:46.569 --> 00:04:50.470 sports. Why did the Colts gamble on Philip Rivers 00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:54.329 to save their season? He can still sling it. 00:04:55.129 --> 00:04:58.589 On December 9th, 2025, the text message rolled 00:04:58.589 --> 00:05:02.470 in while Rivers was shaking off rust. If this 00:05:02.470 --> 00:05:05.209 report is true, then I'm all in, Frank Drake 00:05:05.209 --> 00:05:09.149 wrote. Rivers considered two options, returning 00:05:09.149 --> 00:05:12.629 to the 8 -in -5 Indianapolis Colts or heading 00:05:12.629 --> 00:05:16.430 home to Alabama. In a stunning unretirement, 00:05:16.790 --> 00:05:19.870 Rivers is back in the NFL five years later, likely 00:05:19.870 --> 00:05:22.430 the Colts' best hope to avoid a late -season 00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:25.990 collapse. General Manager Chris Ballard knows 00:05:25.990 --> 00:05:29.529 this gamble could define the season. It's a bold 00:05:29.529 --> 00:05:33.810 move to sign a 44 -year -old quarterback. And 00:05:33.810 --> 00:05:36.889 tonight, on Thursday Night Football, Kirk Cousins 00:05:36.889 --> 00:05:40.029 and the Falcons aim to play spoiler against Baker 00:05:40.029 --> 00:05:43.860 Mayfield and the Buccaneers. The Atlanta Falcons, 00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:47.060 with a record of four wins and nine losses, visit 00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:50.240 the Buccaneers, who have seven wins and six losses. 00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:53.620 The Buccaneers were on track for a fifth straight 00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:56.500 division title, but have lost three consecutive 00:05:56.500 --> 00:06:01.019 games. Falcons coach Raheem Morris stated, you 00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:03.959 never want to be in this spot, referring to playoff 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.519 elimination. Mayfield emphasized the importance 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.180 of expecting their best from the Falcons, knowing 00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:13.040 they aimed to ruin the Buccaneers' playoff chances. 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:19.060 Kickoff is at 8 .15 Eastern on Prime Video, in 00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:23.120 local sports. A .J. Prowler, the president of 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.939 baseball operations for the San Diego Padres, 00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:29.319 stated that franchise star Fernando Tatis Jr. 00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:32.980 is untouchable in trade talks, but he acknowledged 00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:36.490 the complexities of such a claim. During the 00:06:36.490 --> 00:06:38.810 major league baseball winter meetings, Preller 00:06:38.810 --> 00:06:42.370 emphasized that Tatis is a key player, asserting 00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:46.449 he can be that type of player. Despite the Padres' 00:06:47.110 --> 00:06:49.290 challenges, including a roster filled with high 00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:52.550 -value contracts and a team -up for sale, officials 00:06:52.550 --> 00:06:57.149 insisted Tatis is not available for trade. As 00:06:57.149 --> 00:07:00.050 speculation continues, other teams have not stopped 00:07:00.050 --> 00:07:03.370 inquiring about Tatis, highlighting his significant 00:07:03.370 --> 00:07:09.029 value in the league. In top news, the Federal 00:07:09.029 --> 00:07:11.410 Reserve cut interest rates for the third time 00:07:11.410 --> 00:07:13.970 this year, and this quarter -point reduction 00:07:13.970 --> 00:07:16.850 might not lead to lower mortgage or car loan 00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:20.430 rates immediately. Although Fed cuts influence 00:07:20.430 --> 00:07:23.470 banks' loan rates, they do not control them directly. 00:07:24.689 --> 00:07:27.389 Bank rate financial analyst Steph Cates stated, 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.560 For mortgages, the 30 -year rate is around 6 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.480 .19 % and is influenced more by Treasury bond 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:49.220 yields. Auto loan rates, averaging 6 .6%, are 00:07:49.220 --> 00:07:52.500 also affected by many factors, including borrower 00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:58.240 credit scores. In business news, S &P and Nasdaq 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.399 Futures fell Wednesday night. As Oracle's results 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.639 reignited fears about high -flying tech stocks, 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.379 despite the Federal Reserve's latest interest 00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:10.259 rate cut boosting U .S. equity markets in the 00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:13.560 prior session. Futures tied to the Dow Jones 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.839 Industrial Average added 43 points, or 0 .1%. 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.660 Oracle shares tumbled 11 % after posting disappointing 00:08:22.660 --> 00:08:26.040 quarterly revenue and raising its spending forecast. 00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:30.050 In after -hours trading, other AI plays also 00:08:30.050 --> 00:08:33.730 fell, including NVIDIA down 1 % and CoreWeave 00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:37.830 down more than 3%. Investors suggest caution 00:08:37.830 --> 00:08:40.750 ahead, as the central bank remains in a wait 00:08:40.750 --> 00:08:43.730 -and -see mode regarding future monetary policy. 00:08:44.870 --> 00:08:49.529 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 3 % to $90 00:08:49.529 --> 00:08:55.610 ,000. Ethereum is down 4 % to just under $3 ,200. 00:08:57.140 --> 00:09:04.080 SRP is down 4 % to $2 .00. Moving on to a more 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.600 local vibe.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:58.740 science. Onside of Earth is rapidly getting colder 00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:02.320 than the other. Research shows the Pacific Hemisphere 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.320 is losing heat faster than the African Hemisphere. 00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:09.179 Scientists from the University of Oslo indicate 00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:12.460 that one side of Earth's interior is losing heat 00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:16.059 much faster than the other side. A study published 00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:18.779 in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that 00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:21.840 parts of Earth have been insulated by more landmass, 00:10:22.139 --> 00:10:25.919 creating a thermos layer that traps heat. The 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.559 Pacific Hemisphere has cooled about 50 Kelvin 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.000 more than the African Hemisphere. This suggests 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.399 that the Pacific was much hotter at a certain 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:41.600 moment in time. The Entertainment News. Jennifer 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.460 Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are expected to 00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:47.620 reprise their roles as Katniss Everdeen and Peta 00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:50.799 Mallark in the Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.330 on the Reaping. This Lionsgate movie is based 00:10:54.330 --> 00:10:57.529 on the latest novel by Suzanne Collins, following 00:10:57.529 --> 00:11:00.970 the events of the 50th Hunger Games, 24 years 00:11:00.970 --> 00:11:03.750 before Katniss and Peeta entered the killing 00:11:03.750 --> 00:11:07.769 field. The story centers on Haymitch's experience 00:11:07.769 --> 00:11:11.070 in the games as a 16 -year -old, played by Joseph 00:11:11.070 --> 00:11:14.549 Sada. The film is set for release on November 00:11:14.549 --> 00:11:20.259 20, 2026, directed by Francis Lawrence. It also 00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:23.299 stars Elle Fanning, Ralph Fiennes, Kieran Culkin, 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.860 and Jesse Plemons, among others. Well, all righty, 00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:31.879 folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.759 today, our quote comes from the American writer 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:39.059 and philosopher Albert Hubbard. And he said, 00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:49.879 And that's a wrap for this morning.
