In local news, San Diego 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.500 City Council members are facing a significant 00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:53.319 challenge as they navigate a budget gap of $110 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:59.680 million for the fiscal year 2026 to 2027. Currently, 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.199 the city is dealing with a $9 million gap halfway 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.039 through the fiscal year, as revenues have fallen 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.870 short of expectations. Councilmember Kent Lee 00:04:09.870 --> 00:04:12.789 noted that the city is seeing flat revenue streams 00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:15.909 and rising costs, particularly in personnel. 00:04:16.670 --> 00:04:19.110 With discussions of potential cuts on the table, 00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:22.790 Councilmember Sean Hilo Rivera emphasized the 00:04:22.790 --> 00:04:25.009 importance of frontline workers and the need 00:04:25.009 --> 00:04:27.870 for difficult conversations about budget reductions. 00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:31.509 The mayor's first budget proposal is anticipated 00:04:31.509 --> 00:04:34.410 in April, with a final vote scheduled for June. 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.680 Now on to sports. The 2026 Winter Olympics faced 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.360 significant infrastructure concerns in recent 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.100 weeks. The first event in Italy, the set of mixed 00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:54.019 doubles curling matches, experienced a power 00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:56.579 outage just five minutes into the competition. 00:04:57.579 --> 00:05:00.259 With clocks and scoreboards down, play was halted 00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:02.860 for about five minutes, during which athletes 00:05:02.860 --> 00:05:06.060 entertained themselves. The local organizing 00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:09.100 committee cited an energy issue. but details 00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:12.800 remain unclear. While the curling venue has a 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.560 strong historical background, issues persist 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.360 with the hockey and sliding arenas, including 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.899 ongoing construction and safety concerns. The 00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:24.779 situation raises doubts about the overall readiness 00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:30.639 of the games. In local sports, the list of potential 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.790 buyers for the Padres includes billionaire owners 00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:36.569 of English Premier League clubs Dan Friedkin 00:05:36.569 --> 00:05:40.990 and Jose Feliciano. Friedkin's Pursuit Sports 00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:44.769 owns Everton and AS Roma, while Feliciano co 00:05:44.769 --> 00:05:47.689 -founded Clear Lake Capital, which has majority 00:05:47.689 --> 00:05:51.689 ownership of Chelsea.

In top news... 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.660 Experts say the U .S. needs an additional 2 million 00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:27.980 to 20 million homes to address the housing crisis, 00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:31.660 highlighting the significant shortfall. Moody's 00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:34.620 estimates that 2 million new homes are necessary, 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.040 while Goldman Sachs suggests 3 million. Zillow 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.379 believes the figure exceeds 4 million, and Brookings 00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:46.060 estimates 5 million, with McKinsey claiming 8 00:06:46.060 --> 00:06:49.459 million. In contrast, congressional Republicans 00:06:49.459 --> 00:06:52.939 argue the shortfall could be as high as 20 million. 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.959 Some economists even contend that there is no 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.660 shortage at all. Vacancy rates and household 00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:04.339 dynamics complicate the assessment, with 18 % 00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:08.160 of adults aged 25 to 34 living with parents in 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:14.100 2023.

Bitcoin fell below $76 ,000 on 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.899 Saturday, saddling Michael Saylor's company with 00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:25.759 paper losses on its token purchases. The strategy 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.600 that rewarded companies for hoarding cryptocurrencies 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.680 is now punishing them. Bitcoin Ether and other 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.319 digital tokens are in a slump, causing shares 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.740 of companies like Strategy to slide. Investors 00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:41.399 are concerned that big firms may unload their 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.300 holdings, triggering further declines in digital 00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:47.899 coin prices.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:10.590 science. Popular weight loss drugs, such as Ozempic 00:09:10.590 --> 00:09:13.409 and Wegevy, are intended as lifelong treatments 00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:17.470 for obesity and type 2 diabetes, not quick fixes 00:09:17.470 --> 00:09:21.629 for weight loss.

Moreover, blood 00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:42.960 sugar and cholesterol improvements reverse, leading 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.919 to a faster weight regain compared to lifestyle 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.500 changes. Experts stress the importance of combining 00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:52.860 these medications with long -term lifestyle strategies 00:09:52.860 --> 00:10:01.909 for sustained success. Alan Richson faces an 00:10:01.909 --> 00:10:05.070 unimaginable threat in the trailer for Netflix's 00:10:05.070 --> 00:10:08.629 sci -fi feature, War Machine. The film, from 00:10:08.629 --> 00:10:11.149 writer -director Patrick Hughes, launches on 00:10:11.149 --> 00:10:14.470 the streaming service on March 6.

It's 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.000 not about us anymore. It's warning everybody 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.860 that thing's coming.
