--> 00:00:30,840 Pennsylvania, becoming the first driller of a productive oil well in the United States. 6 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,720 This groundbreaking achievement marked the beginning of the modern petroleum industry, 7 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:43,200 revolutionizing energy production and contributing significantly to industrial progress. 8 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,280 So now you know. 9 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,440 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 10 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,120 Expect neat-a-thigh high swell throughout the week. 11 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,200 On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, conditions will be glassy with light offshore winds, 12 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,640 becoming semi-choppy in the afternoons with stronger onshore winds. 13 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,960 Thursday and Friday mornings will be glassy with variable winds, turning semi-choppy in 14 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,480 the afternoons. 15 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:19,880 Tuesday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking glassy in the morning until 10 at 16 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,760 2 feet. 17 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,480 Then it gets a little choppy midday, but should

you. 40 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,400 In local news, Kroger and Albertsons are heading to court to defend their planned merger and 41 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,400 the sale of 63 stores in California. 42 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,920 This proposed merger, announced in October 2022, would be the largest supermarket merger 43 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560 in United States history. 44 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,480 The companies argue that merging will help reduce costs and compete with Walmart and 45 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,480 Costco. 46 00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:00,040 However, the Federal Trade Commission is challenging the merger, citing concerns over reduced competition 47 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720 and higher grocery prices. 48 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,480 The case involves multiple states and will be heard by U.S. District Judge Adrian Nelson 49 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,880 in Oregon. 50 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:20,520 Together, Kroger and Albertsons employ around 710,000 people. 51 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,840 Now on to sports. 52 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:28,280 The NFL Players Association has vetoed a bylaw that would have allowed teams to elevate a 53 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:34,240 bona fide quarterback from the practice squad an unlimited number of times to serve as an 54 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,440 emergency third quarterback on game days. 55 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:45,640 This means the game day emergency third quarterback will function the same as it did in 2023. 56 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,680 The rule proposed by the Buffalo Bills aimed to prevent non-quarterbacks from stepping 57 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:57,200 in during games, as seen in the 2022 NFC Championship game. 58 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,840 The NFL Players Association opposed the change, fearing it would allow teams to stash a 54th 59 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,720 player on the practice squad. 60 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:14,400 In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Cardinals 7-4. 61 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,200 And tonight, they're back at it for game two in St. Louis. 62 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:27,040 In top news, as Dr. Anthony Fauci recovers from West Nile virus, questions are rising 63 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,320 about the illness, including its contraction, symptoms, and prevention. 64 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,440 Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CBS 65 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,760 News that he expects to fully recover at home after being hospitalized for days. 66 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:51,920 The West Nile virus, primarily spread by mosquitoes, causes flu-like symptoms such as nausea, aches, 67 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,640 vomiting, fever, and chills. 68 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Less than one in 150 infections lead to serious complications affecting the central nervous 69 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,240 system. 70 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,960 Protect yourself by wearing appropriate clothing, using insect repellent, and eliminating standing 71 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,760 water. 72 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:19,800 In business news, Canada is imposing significant tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles 73 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:26,760 and steel and aluminum products to protect its growing domestic electric vehicle industry. 74 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,920 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 100 percent tariff on Chinese-made electric 75 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,960 vehicles and a 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum products from China, effective 76 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,440 in early October. 77 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,280 The move follows discussions with President Joe Biden's national security adviser and 78 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:50,920 aims to counter China's unfair trade practices. 79 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,600 Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland emphasized that the tariffs would not hinder Canada's 80 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,160 mandate for zero-emission vehicles by 2035. 81 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,760 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $63,200. 82 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,640 Ethereum is just under

the world's largest battery. 97 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:22,040 A new facility off the Oregon coast could ignite an energy revolution. 98 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,640 The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that theoretical annual energy from 99 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,360 U.S. coastal waves is 2 trillion kilowatt hours. 100 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:39,120 Wave energy could account for up to 20 percent of the U.S. renewable energy mix. 101 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,160 Companies like Sea Power are developing devices to harness this power. 102 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,800 PacWave in Newport, Oregon will be the first wave energy testing facility in the continental 103 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,760 U.S., aiming to revolutionize ocean energy. 104 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760 Entertainment news. 105 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Glenn Powell is set to star in a new Wooloo series, Chad Power. 106 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,520 Powell's role in this series is a form of redemption after being rejected twice from 107 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,960 the cult favorite drama, Friday Night Lights. 108 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,600 In Chad Powers, Powell plays Russ Holliday, a college quarterback who disguises himself 109 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,480 to play for a struggling Southern football team. 110 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,600 Powell also serves as an executive producer and co-writer for the series. 111 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,200 His football skills, showcased in Top Gun, will be highlighted again. 112 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,880 The series is based on Eli Manning's docu-series, Eli's Places. 113 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:43,820 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 114 00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:50,360 And today, our quote comes from the American investor and philanthropist, Warren Buffett. 115 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,360 And he said, 116 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:58,560 In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive 117 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,480 military conflicts. 118 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,160 The Depression, a dozen or so recessions and financial panics. 119 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,960 Oil shocks, a flu epidemic, and the resignation of a disgraced president. 120 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:17,840 Yet, the Dow rose from 66 to nearly 1,200. 121 00:10:17,840
