00:00:01.200 --> 00:00:04.139
Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,

00:00:04.660 --> 00:00:09.160
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.660
and it's Friday, January 30th. You'll be interested

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:19.780
to know. 78 years ago, today, in 1948, athletes

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:22.420
gathered in St. Moritz for the Winter Olympic

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:25.859
Games, staging a spirited post -war revival of

00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:29.019
international winter sport competition on pristine

00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:32.969
alpine courses. The game showcased renewed global

00:00:32.969 --> 00:00:36.189
unity and athletic excellence, establishing modern

00:00:36.189 --> 00:00:39.310
traditions in winter sport and inspiring future

00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:42.530
generations with remarkable performances and

00:00:42.530 --> 00:00:46.869
new organizational standards. So now you know.

00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:54.429
And now, it's time for the Surf Report. Friday

00:00:54.429 --> 00:00:57.229
at Tourmaline. This morning it's looking clean

00:00:57.229 --> 00:01:00.820
with waves at four to seven feet. Conditions

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:03.219
remain clean until about noon when they shift

00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:07.159
to fair. By 1 p .m., expect choppy conditions

00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.980
as the wind picks up to onshore at 9 miles per

00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:15.540
hour. We stay around 4 to 6 plus feet throughout

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:19.000
the day, so keep an eye on the wind change. Best

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.859
time to ride is at 9 a .m. with a 4 -foot outgoing

00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:26.280
high tide when the west -northwest swell is 4

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.540
feet at 15 seconds. and the offshore wind is

00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:33.159
2 mile per hour. The first high tide on Friday

00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.579
will be 6 .5 feet at 6 .30 a .m., followed by

00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:41.939
a minus 1 .5 foot low tide at 2. The nearshore

00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:46.239
buoy at Mission Bay West reads 62 degrees for

00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.719
the water temperature. Conditions are looking

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.780
clean with waves around 3 to 4 feet on Saturday

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:56.120
morning, ideal for catching a barrel. As the

00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.120
day progresses, expect choppy conditions and

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.560
a slight size decrease in the afternoon. Sunday

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.640
brings a steady increase in swell, reaching four

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.419
to six feet by afternoon, with cleaner faces

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:13.000
making it the standout day of the period. This

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.879
morning, it's sunny and it feels like 54 degrees

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.699
with five mile per hour wind. The sunset will

00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:23.770
take place at 520. and it will rise again tomorrow

00:02:23.770 --> 00:02:27.569
at 646. It looks like we're in for some sunny

00:02:27.569 --> 00:02:31.389
weather today with a high near 79 and a light

00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:36.509
northwest breeze. Tonight, expect mostly clear

00:02:36.509 --> 00:02:40.490
skies with a low around 56 and very light winds.

00:02:42.569 --> 00:02:45.909
Looking ahead in the weather, Saturday will be

00:02:45.909 --> 00:02:49.210
sunny with a high near 81 and a light north wind

00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:53.139
of about 5 miles per hour. Sunday through Monday

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:57.039
cools off, with highs near 73 on Sunday and dropping

00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.740
to near 69 on Monday, nights mostly cloudy with

00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:05.740
lows around 53 to 54. By Tuesday, expect mostly

00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:09.300
sunny skies and a high near 71 with a partly

00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:13.900
cloudy night and a low near 53. Bonjour, food

00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:17.199
enthusiasts! This podcast is brought to you by

00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.259
Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled

00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:24.759
on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas

00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.300
Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for culinary

00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:32.340
delights. Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict

day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.460
to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local

00:03:51.460 --> 00:03:55.360
news, the San Diego City Council's rules committee

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.500
recently voted 3 -2 against a proposed ballot

00:03:58.500 --> 00:04:01.280
measure that would have taxed empty second homes

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.060
and short -term vacation rentals in the city.

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.860
Despite a push from Councilman Sean Aloe Rivera,

00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.000
the measure aimed to generate revenue by taxing

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.460
these properties $8 ,000 annually, potentially

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:18.949
raising up to $27 million. The proposal sparked

00:04:18.949 --> 00:04:21.509
debate, with supporters arguing it would free

00:04:21.509 --> 00:04:24.310
up housing, while opponents expressed concerns

00:04:24.310 --> 00:04:27.490
about its impact on tourism and local businesses.

00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:31.850
Council President Joe Lacava urged thoughtful

00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:34.829
consideration of city proposals, emphasizing

00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:37.649
the need for practical and fair solutions to

00:04:37.649 --> 00:04:47.399
housing challenges. Now onto sports. Josh Allen's

00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.399
walk took his front row seat. For new Buffalo

00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.040
Girls head coach, Joe Brady's news conference

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.459
was not quick. He was on crutches with his right

00:04:57.459 --> 00:04:59.959
foot in a walking boot after surgery on a broken

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:03.779
bone. Allen 29 said the injury stemmed from a

00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:07.160
previous incident aggravated in a week 16 win

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.399
over the Cleveland Browns. He did not miss playing

00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.959
time due to the injury, although he described

00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.990
it as painful. Allen declined his appearance

00:05:15.990 --> 00:05:19.610
at the Pro Bowl Games due to injury. He expressed

00:05:19.610 --> 00:05:22.790
respect for former coach Sean McDermott and reflected

00:05:22.790 --> 00:05:26.490
on the emotional toll of the season. Allen emphasized

00:05:26.490 --> 00:05:29.350
a desire to improve and work with Brady moving

00:05:29.350 --> 00:05:32.470
forward. He is also looking forward to becoming

00:05:32.470 --> 00:05:38.189
a dad in local sports. The Padres are gearing

00:05:38.189 --> 00:05:41.329
up for a pivotal February as Major League Baseball

00:05:41.329 --> 00:05:43.990
teams start their spring training preparations.

00:05:44.990 --> 00:05:47.389
With the postseason in sight, the front office

00:05:47.389 --> 00:05:50.449
must resolve the first base debate before full

00:05:50.449 --> 00:05:54.430
squad workouts in Peoria. President of Baseball

00:05:54.430 --> 00:05:57.550
Operations, A .J. Preller has a talented but

00:05:57.550 --> 00:06:00.490
incomplete roster, making it essential to fill

00:06:00.490 --> 00:06:04.209
key gaps before opening day. Nick Castellanos

00:06:04.209 --> 00:06:06.509
could be a target, with the Phillies looking

00:06:06.509 --> 00:06:09.569
to trade him due to his declining defensive skills.

00:06:10.550 --> 00:06:13.250
Meanwhile, a reunion with Luis Aries remains

00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:16.410
a possibility, though his stature raises concerns

00:06:16.410 --> 00:06:20.029
about his first base capabilities. The Friar

00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:22.870
Faithful are eager for action, as they grow tired

00:06:22.870 --> 00:06:25.769
of the wait -and -see approach to roster improvement.

00:06:28.009 --> 00:06:31.620
In top news... Waymo is under scrutiny after

00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:34.779
an autonomous taxi struck a child near a Santa

00:06:34.779 --> 00:06:38.000
Monica elementary school during drop -off, resulting

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.319
in minor injuries to the child. The incident

00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.879
occurred when the child ran from behind a parked

00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.899
sport utility vehicle into traffic. The vehicle

00:06:46.899 --> 00:06:50.339
braked hard, reducing speed from 17 miles per

00:06:50.339 --> 00:06:54.019
hour to 6 miles per hour before impact. This

00:06:54.019 --> 00:06:57.100
incident has prompted a federal safety investigation.

00:06:57.259 --> 00:07:00.139
with Waymo asserting that its autonomous system

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:03.420
prevented more serious injuries. The company

00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:05.800
reported the incident to the National Highway

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.779
Traffic Safety Administration and stated it would

00:07:08.779 --> 00:07:13.019
fully cooperate with the investigation. In business

00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:17.220
news, once at odds over cryptocurrency regulation,

00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.459
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the

00:07:20.459 --> 00:07:23.040
Commodity Futures Trading Commission pledged

00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.639
to join forces. These two agencies, which have

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.459
historically sparred over jurisdictional boundaries,

00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.259
aim to harmonize operations and eliminate confusion

00:07:33.259 --> 00:07:37.339
in the market. At an event, SEC Chair Paul Atkins

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:40.540
and CFTC Chair Michael Selig discussed their

00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:43.279
collaboration on the Project Crypto initiative.

00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:47.360
Selig stated, Project Crypto recognizes that

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.740
crypto markets span across our agency's respective

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:54.250
regulatory frameworks. This collaboration is

00:07:54.250 --> 00:07:57.089
a repudiation of the previous administration's

00:07:57.089 --> 00:08:00.709
approach towards regulating cryptocurrency. Atkins

00:08:00.709 --> 00:08:03.250
emphasized that a federal framework for these

00:08:03.250 --> 00:08:07.930
rapidly evolving markets is long overdue. In

00:08:07.930 --> 00:08:11.709
crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 5 % for the

00:08:11.709 --> 00:08:17.370
week to about $83 ,000. Ethereum is down 2 .5

00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:23.259
% to about $3 ,000. And XRP is down 4 .5 % to

00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:31.339
$1 .79. Moving on to a more local vibe. In our

00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:34.500
community spotlight on health and wellness, we

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.240

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the

00:09:16.110 --> 00:09:21.460
show. Let's talk tech. The Department of Homeland

00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:24.500
Security recently published details about Mobile

00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:27.539
Fortify, a face recognition application used

00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:31.240
by federal immigration agents to identify individuals

00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.240
in the field, including United States citizens.

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.379
This information was part of the DHS's 2025 AI

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:42.720
use case inventory, which federal agencies must

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.350
periodically release. The inventory reveals that

00:09:46.350 --> 00:09:49.450
the app is in the deployment stage for both customs

00:09:49.450 --> 00:09:52.490
and border protection and immigration and customs

00:09:52.490 --> 00:09:55.950
enforcement. The vendor for Mobile Fortify is

00:09:55.950 --> 00:09:59.230
identified as NEC, which has a contract with

00:09:59.230 --> 00:10:04.649
DHS worth $23 .9 million. Both agencies state

00:10:04.649 --> 00:10:07.610
that the app assists in quickly confirming identities

00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:15.149
in situations with limited information. Entertainment

00:10:15.149 --> 00:10:18.830
news. HBO's upcoming season of Mike White's hit

00:10:18.830 --> 00:10:22.509
series, The White Lobos, will take place in France.

00:10:23.490 --> 00:10:26.549
Joining the cast are Helena Bonham Carter, Marissa

00:10:26.549 --> 00:10:29.529
Long, and Chris Messina, adding to the excitement

00:10:29.529 --> 00:10:32.950
of the fourth season. The series follows a new

00:10:32.950 --> 00:10:35.289
group of hotel guests and employees over the

00:10:35.289 --> 00:10:39.149
span of a week, exploring the chaos that unfolds.

00:10:39.330 --> 00:10:41.870
The French setting was officially confirmed on

00:10:41.870 --> 00:10:45.919
November 20th. Steve Coogan, Caleb Jaunt -Edwards,

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.059
Alexander Ludwig, and A .J. Michalka are also

serve as executive producers alongside White.

00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.139
Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote

00:11:01.139 --> 00:11:05.220
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:08.259
American author and motivational speaker, Jim

00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:12.320
Rohn. And he said... Success is neither magical

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.759
nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.679
of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:23.840
And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check

00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.559
