That creative success helped define a new 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000 sound for popular music and inspired countless 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.060 musicians, cementing his influence on modern 00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:43.140 songwriting and performance.

This morning it's looking clean 00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:57.219 with four to six plus feet waves rolling in. 00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:01.000 Conditions will shift to fair by 10 a .m. with 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.719 waves dropping slightly to four to six feet. 00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:07.719 By 1 p .m. the surf gets choppy as the wind picks 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.239 up to onshore at eight miles per hour.

The nearshore buoy at 00:01:34.670 --> 00:01:38.409 Mission Bay West reads 64 degrees for the water 00:01:38.409 --> 00:01:42.170 temperature. Conditions start clean with waves 00:01:42.170 --> 00:01:46.510 at 2 to 4 feet on Wednesday, ideal for all levels. 00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:49.969 Thursday sees an increase, with waves reaching 00:01:49.969 --> 00:01:53.540 4 to 5 plus feet. though conditions remain fair 00:01:53.540 --> 00:01:56.840 throughout the day.

In local news, the discussion 00:03:40.150 --> 00:03:43.090 around a proposed wealth tax in California has 00:03:43.090 --> 00:03:46.250 sparked fears among some billionaires about relocating, 00:03:46.389 --> 00:03:50.349 but history suggests otherwise. While Massachusetts 00:03:50.349 --> 00:03:53.150 implemented a similar tax, the number of high 00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:56.189 net worth individuals actually increased, bringing 00:03:56.189 --> 00:03:59.969 in an additional $2 .5 billion in tax revenue 00:03:59.969 --> 00:04:05.030 for 2023. Burpin policy analyst Peter Dreier 00:04:05.030 --> 00:04:08.930 argues that claims of mass exodus are often exaggerated 00:04:08.930 --> 00:04:13.509 and historically unfounded. In fact, many billionaires 00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:16.720 express a commitment to stay. focusing on their 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.800 responsibilities rather than fleeing. As California's 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.839 billionaire tax proposal moves forward, it faces 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.819 scrutiny and potential legal challenges. But 00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:29.399 the narrative of wealthy individuals leaving 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:37.819 remains a familiar refrain. Now on to sports. 00:04:39.139 --> 00:04:41.970 New England Patriots quarterback Drake May who 00:04:41.970 --> 00:04:44.750 injured his right -throwing shoulder in the AFC 00:04:44.750 --> 00:04:47.910 Championship game, stated he took his normal 00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:50.589 number of throws at practice on Monday and that 00:04:50.589 --> 00:04:53.569 his recovery has turned a corner, leading into 00:04:53.569 --> 00:04:57.209 Super Bowl 60 against the Seattle Seahawks. He 00:04:57.209 --> 00:05:00.470 expressed, I'm feeling good. I'll be just fine 00:05:00.470 --> 00:05:03.870 before winking. May was limited in practice on 00:05:03.870 --> 00:05:07.050 Thursday and did not practice on Friday due to 00:05:07.050 --> 00:05:10.180 illness. At the opening night festivities at 00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:13.180 the San Jose Convention Center, he noted Sunday 00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:16.600 is a turning point, perhaps aided by the 60 -degree 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.180 temperatures in California. May mentioned he 00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:22.699 threw a good bit during a 90 -minute practice 00:05:22.699 --> 00:05:25.899 at Stanford University on Monday, and he is looking 00:05:25.899 --> 00:05:30.680 forward to a normal week of prep. In local sports, 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.660 Mason Miller is set to make a big impact for 00:05:34.660 --> 00:05:37.620 the Friars this season after a standout performance 00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:41.740 last year. Traded to the Friars at the deadline, 00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:45.139 he established himself as a top closer, setting 00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:49.240 a playoff record with a 104 .5 mile per hour 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.860 fastball. In September and October, hitters struggled 00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:56.980 against him, going one for 37 with 26 strikeouts. 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.980 Miller will also represent Team USA as their 00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:03.819 closer in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, 00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:07.319 an opportunity he couldn't pass up. With his 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.800 competitive spirit and team -first attitude, 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.480 fans are excited to see what he brings to the 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:18.639 mound this season. In top news, Roba taxi pioneer 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.649 Waymo has raised another $16 billion. to help 00:06:22.649 --> 00:06:25.350 fuel its ambition for its fleet of self -driving 00:06:25.350 --> 00:06:28.550 cars to provide rides throughout the world, while 00:06:28.550 --> 00:06:31.230 other deep -pocketed rival services backed by 00:06:31.230 --> 00:06:35.250 Tesla and Amazon try to catch up. The fundraising 00:06:35.250 --> 00:06:39.769 announced Monday Value's Waymo at $126 billion. 00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:43.810 This appraisal underscores investors' desire 00:06:43.810 --> 00:06:47.189 to own a piece of the rapidly expanding RoboTaxi 00:06:47.189 --> 00:06:50.920 market. Waymo plans to use the funds to extend 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.279 its reach beyond six metropolitan areas, gearing 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.699 up to enter over 20 other cities, including London 00:06:57.699 --> 00:07:01.720 and Tokyo. Waymo's robotaxis already provide 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.680 more than 400 ,000 weekly rides. In business 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.399 news, Apple's AI chief, John Gianandrea, is stepping 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.439 down from his position remaining an advisor until 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.490 he retires in the spring of 2026. He will be 00:07:18.490 --> 00:07:22.389 replaced by Amar Supermania, who previously worked 00:07:22.389 --> 00:07:25.129 at Google and Microsoft making a name for himself 00:07:25.129 --> 00:07:29.709 as a prominent AI researcher.

Jupiter is not as huge 00:09:01.129 --> 00:09:04.330 as we thought it was. The solar system's largest 00:09:04.330 --> 00:09:07.289 planet is slightly less of a giant than scientists 00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:10.970 once believed. Jupiter is 8 kilometers narrower 00:09:10.970 --> 00:09:14.570 at its equator and 24 kilometers flatter at its 00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:17.350 poles than previously estimated, according to 00:09:17.350 --> 00:09:20.590 a new study. These new measurements overturn 00:09:20.590 --> 00:09:23.870 almost 50 years of consensus about the size and 00:09:23.870 --> 00:09:27.730 shape of Jupiter. Yochai Caspi, a professor at 00:09:27.730 --> 00:09:30.250 the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, 00:09:30.710 --> 00:09:33.990 Israel, stated, textbooks will need to be updated. 00:09:34.820 --> 00:09:38.399 NASA's Juno mission has allowed for clearer observations 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:42.139 of Jupiter's size. This research will have significant 00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:44.740 implications for studying Jupiter's features 00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:53.779 and understanding how gas giants formed. Kelly 00:09:53.779 --> 00:09:56.179 Clarkson is ending her talk show after seven 00:09:56.179 --> 00:10:00.259 seasons. NBC confirms that Clarkson made a personal 00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:03.000 decision to step away from hosting this year. 00:10:04.069 --> 00:10:08.350 Season 7 will run through fall 2026 with a few 00:10:08.350 --> 00:10:11.029 special guest hosts in between, but Clarkson 00:10:11.029 --> 00:10:14.629 will be present for most of the season. Clarkson 00:10:14.629 --> 00:10:17.269 shared, stepping away from the daily schedule 00:10:17.269 --> 00:10:20.570 will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels 00:10:20.570 --> 00:10:23.389 necessary and right for this next chapter of 00:10:23.389 --> 00:10:27.669 our lives. She added, I'll still be making music, 00:10:27.929 --> 00:10:30.129 playing shows here and there and you may catch 00:10:30.129 --> 00:10:33.720 me on The Voice from time to time. Clarkson will 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.980 begin her Las Vegas residency this summer. Well, 00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:40.899 alrighty, folks. It's time for the quote of the 00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:45.059 day. And today, our quote comes from the British 00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:48.539 philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead. 00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:59.460 And he said, And that's a wrap for this morning. 00:11:00.169 --> 00:11:03.210 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and 00:11:03.210 --> 00:11:06.909 TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with 00:11:06.909 --> 00:11:10.730 local news and the surf reports.
