Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:09.080

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.080
and it's Friday, February 13th. You'll be interested

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.980

France successfully detonated its first nuclear

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.820
device at the Algerian test site. marking the

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:28.519
nation's entry into the circle of countries with

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:32.359
strategic deterrent capability. The achievement

00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.500
affirmed France's national scientific and military

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:38.920
independence and reshaped European security by

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.060
adding a new sovereign voice to nuclear diplomacy.

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.320
So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:56.210
Report. This morning, it's looking fair with

00:00:56.210 --> 00:01:00.310
waves around 2 plus feet. Conditions are clean

00:01:00.310 --> 00:01:03.289
early on, but expect them to shift to fair by

00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:07.030
late morning as the wind picks up slightly. By

00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:09.670
the afternoon, the swell will increase to 2 to

00:01:09.670 --> 00:01:13.450
3 feet and become choppy with onshore winds at

00:01:13.450 --> 00:01:18.049
8 miles per hour. Best time to ride is at 7 a

00:01:18.049 --> 00:01:21.870
.m. with a 4 -foot high tide when the West Northwest

00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:25.549
swell. is 2 feet at 11 seconds and the side shore

00:01:25.549 --> 00:01:29.629

00:01:29.629 --> 00:01:33.909
on Friday will be 5 feet at 6 .15 a .m. followed

00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:38.769
by a minus half foot low tide at 1 .45. The near

00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:43.189
shore buoy at Mission Day West reads 63 degrees

00:01:43.189 --> 00:01:47.010
for the water temperature. Conditions start off

00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:50.069
strong on Saturday with clean sets reaching 4

00:01:50.069 --> 00:01:53.329
to 6 feet and light winds. Ideal for catching

00:01:53.329 --> 00:01:57.230
waves. On Sunday, the swell drops slightly to

00:01:57.230 --> 00:02:00.650
3 to 5 feet, but remains clean early on, with

00:02:00.650 --> 00:02:04.290
choppy conditions developing later. Monday sees

00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:07.469
a further decline to 3 to 5 feet, with challenging

00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:10.370
choppy conditions and increasing winds throughout

it feels like 59 degrees, with no wind. The sunset

00:02:19.729 --> 00:02:23.030
will take place at 5 .33. and it will rise again

00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:27.009
tomorrow at 634. It looks like we're in for a

00:02:27.009 --> 00:02:30.849
mostly sunny day with a high near 67 and a light

00:02:30.849 --> 00:02:35.729
west wind. Tonight, expect mostly clear skies

00:02:35.729 --> 00:02:41.189
with a low around 50 and light south winds. Looking

00:02:41.189 --> 00:02:44.750
ahead in the weather, Saturday will be mostly

00:02:44.750 --> 00:02:48.310
sunny with a high near 68 and a south wind of

00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:52.180
5 to 10 miles per hour. Rain returns late Sunday

00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:54.979
night into Washington's birthday and continues

00:02:54.979 --> 00:02:57.659
through Tuesday, with highs falling to the low

00:02:57.659 --> 00:03:02.860
60s and nights around 51 to 52. Bonjour, food

to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local

00:03:40.409 --> 00:03:44.009
news, California leaders have unveiled a major

00:03:44.009 --> 00:03:47.129
crackdown on drunk driving. marking the largest

00:03:47.129 --> 00:03:50.229
legislative effort in decades to improve roadway

00:03:50.229 --> 00:03:54.310
safety. A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced

00:03:54.310 --> 00:03:57.210
10 bills aimed at addressing California's weak

00:03:57.210 --> 00:04:00.810
DUI laws, with Assemblymember Cotty Petrie -Norris

00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:04.409
calling it California's largest and most significant

00:04:04.409 --> 00:04:07.530
anti -drunk driving push in over two decades.

00:04:08.270 --> 00:04:11.490
The proposed measures include classifying vehicular

00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:14.550
manslaughter as a violent felony and mandating

00:04:14.550 --> 00:04:17.810
in -car breathalyzers for all DUI offenders.

00:04:19.069 --> 00:04:21.829
As fatalities from DUI -related incidents have

00:04:21.829 --> 00:04:25.170
increased, advocates stress the urgency of these

00:04:25.170 --> 00:04:28.430
changes to protect families on California's roads.

00:04:33.709 --> 00:04:37.600
Now on to sports. This year's Olympic medals

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.240
are generating chatter for their defects in price.

00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:44.620
Several athletes reported their medals detaching

00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:47.199
from their ribbon, causing dents, and in one

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.399
case, breaking in half. In response, the Olympic

00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.360
organizing committee is rechecking all the medals.

00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:58.699
American skier Breezy Johnson said, I was jumping

00:04:58.699 --> 00:05:01.579
in excitement and it broke, and warned others,

00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:06.120
don't jump in them. Olympic organizing committee

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.300
spokesperson Luca Casassa acknowledged issues

00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:12.300
and encouraged athletes to return faulty medals

00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:15.959
for repair. Despite the problems, the gold and

00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.160
silver medals are worth the most they have been

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.500
in a century due to soaring precious medal prices.

00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.160
In local sports, Mason Miller has been officially

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.899
named the closer for the Padres in 2026. as announced

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:34.879
by new manager Craig Stamman ahead of the first

00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.560
formal workout for pitchers and catchers at the

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.019
Peoria Sports Complex. This decision puts an

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:44.040
end to off -season speculation about Miller transitioning

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.939
to a starting role, a choice the organization

00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:50.720
made months ago. Miller, acquired from the ace

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.480
last summer, shined in a set -up role, making

00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.759
him the natural successor to two -time All -Star

00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:02.050
Closer Robert Suarez. He posted a 0 .77 earned

00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:05.889
run average in 22 appearances, striking out 45

00:06:05.889 --> 00:06:12.949
of 83 batters faced. In top news, Amazon's ring

00:06:12.949 --> 00:06:15.750
has terminated its partnership with police tech

00:06:15.750 --> 00:06:19.209
company, Flock Safety. This decision followed

00:06:19.209 --> 00:06:22.069
backlash from a Super Bowl advertisement promoting

00:06:22.069 --> 00:06:25.410
a search party feature that uses artificial intelligence

00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:30.149
to help locate lost pets. Privacy advocates criticized

00:06:30.149 --> 00:06:33.430
this feature, calling it a surveillance nightmare.

00:06:34.589 --> 00:06:36.670
Ring's spokesperson stated that the partnership

00:06:36.670 --> 00:06:40.069
was never active and no videos were ever shared

00:06:40.069 --> 00:06:43.910
between the services. Amazon acquired Ring for

00:06:43.910 --> 00:06:49.589
$800 and $39 million in 2018. The company aims

00:06:49.589 --> 00:06:52.730
to reposition itself, focusing on crime prevention

00:06:52.730 --> 00:06:55.490
while navigating scrutiny over privacy issues.

00:06:56.459 --> 00:07:01.379
In business news. On February 8th, sports fans

00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:04.199
watching the Super Bowl were treated to an advertisement

00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.399
for Claude, an artificial intelligence chatbot.

00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:10.839
This might have given investors with long memories

00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.000
an unsettling sense of deja vu. In the present,

00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:18.180
investors' confidence in today's emerging technology

00:07:18.180 --> 00:07:21.620
has begun to wobble as companies prepare to spend

00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:25.000
astonishing amounts of money on it. Recently,

00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.649
Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft announced

00:07:28.649 --> 00:07:33.529
a combined expenditure of $660 billion on artificial

00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:36.990
intelligence in the coming year. However, concerns

00:07:36.990 --> 00:07:39.889
about high share prices and inflation are making

00:07:39.889 --> 00:07:43.069
markets feel jittery. Investors are searching

00:07:43.069 --> 00:07:46.230
for ways to hedge their equity risk, but auctions

00:07:46.230 --> 00:07:51.009
appear limited. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is

00:07:51.009 --> 00:07:56.870
down 14 % for the week to about $66 ,000. Ethereum

00:07:56.870 --> 00:08:02.709
is down 15 .5 % to about $1 ,900. And HexRP is

00:08:02.709 --> 00:08:10.290
down 16 % to $1 .36. Moving on to a more local

00:08:10.290 --> 00:08:14.410
vibe. In our community spotlight on health and

00:08:14.410 --> 00:08:17.269
wellness, we are working with a national Pilates

00:08:17.269 --> 00:08:20.689

00:08:52.909 --> 00:08:57.090
Sunny morning sent you by. And now, back to the

00:08:57.090 --> 00:09:03.289
show. Let's talk tech. Apple says it is still

00:09:03.289 --> 00:09:06.289
on track to launch new Siri this year, as promised.

00:09:07.269 --> 00:09:09.590
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple's

00:09:09.590 --> 00:09:13.129
new Siri initiative faced internal delays. Originally

00:09:13.129 --> 00:09:17.919
planned to start with iOS 26 .4. Thurman suggested

00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:22.039
features may start appearing in iOS 26 .5 or

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.299
later in the year. This report has seemingly

00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:28.019
rocked investor confidence, with Apple stock

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:32.580
plummeting today. In response, CNBC's Steve Kovach

00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:35.440
says Apple confirmed it remains on track to launch

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.960
new Siri this year, reaffirming earlier promises.

00:09:40.059 --> 00:09:42.299
Apple has pledged that long -promised features

00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:49.640
will be available sometime in 2026. Entertainment

00:10:36.789 --> 00:10:39.570
all righty, folks. It's time for the quote of

00:10:39.570 --> 00:10:43.389
the day. And today... Our quote comes from the

00:10:43.389 --> 00:10:47.269
French philosopher and writer Albert Camus. And

00:10:47.269 --> 00:10:56.250
he said, And that's a wrap for this morning.
