1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,680 I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Thursday, July 18th. 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,360 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,640 Today is Nelson Mandela Day, honoring the legacy of a human rights lawyer, prisoner 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,040 of conscience, and the first democratically elected president of South Africa. 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,960 Born on his birthday, July 18th, this day reminds us of Mandela's commitment to justice, 7 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,080 equality, and the power of individual impact. 8 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,440 The United Nations encourages everyone to spend 67 minutes helping others, reflecting 9 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,140 Mandela's 67 years of public service. 10 00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:53,660 His legacy teaches us to choose dignity over humiliation, speak up during injustice, and 11 00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:59,520 forgive rather than hate, reminding us that each person has the power to transform the 12 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,520 world. 13 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,680 So now you know. 14 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,920 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:16,800 Expect chest to shoulder-high southwest grounds swell Thursday morning, easing

00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,760 electric air taxi networks in California. 45 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,800 This initiative could transform travel between airports like San Diego International, Los 46 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,560 Angeles International, and others in the region. 47 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:09,200 They have signed a memorandum of understanding to create integrated electric air taxi networks, 48 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,120 aiming to reduce travel time significantly. 49 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,320 Archer is working on its Midnight Electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, envisioning 50 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,200 10 to 20 minute flights replacing lengthy car canoes. 51 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,840 This collaboration is part of a broader movement towards urban air mobility, supported by recent 52 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:35,800 U.S. Congress legislation. 53 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,280 Now on to sports. 54 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:43,920 In a rare financial move, New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson opted to sign a 55 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:51,000 contract extension worth $156 million over four years, instead of waiting to potentially 56 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,300 earn $269 million next offseason. 57 00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:01,640 This decision allows the Knicks to allocate savings towards building a championship roster, 58 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,480 reflecting Brunson's commitment to the team. 59 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:10,040 Brunson, who began his career as a second-round draft pick, has evolved into one of the league's 60 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,860 top scorers and a New York City icon. 61 00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:18,880 His willingness to sacrifice for the organization has earned admiration from Knicks fans and 62 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,880 management alike. 63 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:31,680 In local sports, tonight, the Padres are on the road in Cleveland to take on the Guardians. 64 00:05:31,680

Convention. 66 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,760 Nearly four years after suspending Trumpfragas, praise for people engaged in violence at the 67 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:58,520 Capitol on January 6, 2021, the company has removed all remaining restrictions. 68 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,120 Metta's global affairs president, Nick Clegg, stated that the American people should be 69 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,160 able to hear from the nominees for president on the same basis. 70 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,440 All United States presidential candidates will adhere to the same community standards, 71 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,240 which include policies to prevent hate speech and incitement to violence. 72 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,960 In business news, hackers recently stole six months' worth of phone records from nearly 73 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:36,360 110 million AT&T customers, covering May to October 2022 and January 2, 2023. 74 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,440 This breach includes call and text logs and for some estimated locations. 75 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,800 While AT&T assures that call content, account names, social security numbers, and credit 76 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:55,800 card information were not compromised, location data remains a significant concern. 77 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,760 The stolen data could be misused for blackmail or identity theft. 78 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:07,680 AT&T advises affected customers to be vigilant and report any fraud. 79 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:14,440 For enhanced security, consider using apps like Authy or Google Authenticator. 80

with a total budget request 100 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:58,040 of $1.5 billion. 101 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:05,080 The de-ordered vehicle will utilize 35,000 pounds of propellant and 46 Draco rocket
