treason, condemned for leading the Scottish 6 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,360 resistance forces during the first years of the long and ultimately successful struggle 7 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,200 to

00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,720 Then it bumps up to three to four feet and choppy until sunset. 18 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,480 We might get an hour of fair conditions before the sun goes down. 19 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:31,200 Best time to ride is at 6 a.m. with a half-foot low tide when the southwest swell is three 20 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,720 and a half feet at 12 seconds and the onshore

00:02:57,640 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 37 00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:04,780 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe

You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 41 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,880 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 42 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,320 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 43 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,680 Sunny mornings send you. 44 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:35,520 In local news, the San Diego-bound combat ship, the USS Kingsville will be commissioned 45 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,160 on Saturday in Corpus Christi, Texas. 46 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,200 This marks the next-to-last Independence-class combat ship scheduled to be built for the 47 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,200 Navy. 48 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:52,600 The 418-foot vessel will later take a berth at Naval Station San Diego, home to 16 other 49 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,600 ships. 50 00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:00,160 Kingsville is designed to travel upwards of 45 miles per hour, making it one of the Navy's 51 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,800 largest espessals, capable of various roles from searching for sea mines to enforcing 52 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,440 maritime law. 53 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:13,960 The USS Abraham Lincoln, also based in San Diego, has now arrived in the Middle East. 54 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,760 The United States Central Command confirmed this on Wednesday. 55 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin instructed the carrier 10 days ago to speed up its transit 56 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,520 to the region to potentially assist Israel against a possible attack by Iran. 57 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Lincoln is the flagship of a carrier strike group that includes the San Diego-based destroyer's 58 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:44,020 USS Spruance and the USS O'King. 59 00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:46,520 Now on to sports. 60 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,360 Joey Votto, a potential future Hall of Famer, announced his retirement yesterday. 61 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:59,080 Votto, who spent his entire 17-year career with the Cincinnati Reds, decided to retire 62 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:05,600 after a series of moments, including prolonged recovery from injury, declining performance, 63 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,880 and a contemplative family lunch. 64 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,400 Votto stated, the fans come to watch hunger and aggression. 65 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,680 They come to watch people playing at their very, very best, and he feels like he can't 66 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,560 fulfill that call any longer. 67 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:29,760 His career included an MVP award, six All-Star appearances, and a gold glove. 68 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:37,560 In local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Mets 8-3. 69 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,160 And tonight, they're back at it for Game 2 of this series with the Mets. 70 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:51,360 In top news, a construction worker in Gloterdal, Germany, stumbled upon a hidden stash of 71 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,360 medieval coins from around 1320 AD. 72 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:02,120 Klaus Volker, while laying underground piping, discovered what he described as small metal 73 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,760 plates. 74 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:11,920 The coins, totaling almost 2,000, were enough to buy 150 sheep back around that time period. 75 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:17,480 Archaeologists uncovered the coins from various mints in Germany, Switzerland, and France 76 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,400 despite challenging weather. 77 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,840 This extensive discovery offers new insights into medieval coin circulation and mining 78 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:32,160 in the Gloterdal region, historically significant for the Dukes of Freiburg. 79 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:40,240 In business news, the NFL is considering changing its rules to allow private equity firms and 80 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,760 institutional investors to buy stakes in teams. 81 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,440 This decision is expected to be discussed and potentially voted on by NFL team owners 82 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,920 and executives in Minneapolis on August 27. 83 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:01,080 If approved, private equity firms could own up to 30% of a single franchise, with no single 84 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,360 firm holding more than 10%. 85 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,120 Firms like Arctos Partners and Ayres Management are already in talks with the league. 86 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:16,200 However, actual investments may still take months to materialize as NFL teams finalize 87 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,280 the details. 88 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:24,640 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $60,400. 89 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Ethereum is just over $2,600. 90 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,040 And Solana is $143. 91 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,380 Moving on to a more local vibe. 92 00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:43,320 In our community spotlight on health

ahead of the iOS 18 launch next 104 00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:35,100 month. 105 00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:41,000 This update introduces features like head gestures, allowing users to accept or reject calls by 106 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,680 shaking their heads. 107 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:49,320 It also improves voice isolation in noisy environments and enhances custom spatial audio 108 00:08:49,320

William Wallace. 124 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,720 And he said, 125 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:10,520 When I was a boy, the priest, my uncle, carefully inculcated upon me this proverb, which I then 126 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,400 learned and have ever since kept in my mind. 127 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:23,480 Dico tv virum, libertas optima rerum, non quam servili, sub nexu vivido, philly. 128 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:30,280 This means, I tell you a truth, liberty is the best of things, my son, never live under 129 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,680 any slavish font. 130 00:10:33,680 -->
