quarantine has been declared in Fallbrook following the detection 45 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,780 of hüenglömbing, also known as citrus screening, in one mandarin tree during a routine inspection. 46 00:03:47,780 --> 00:03:53,160 This bacterial disease poses a significant threat to the region's estimated annual citrus 47 00:03:53,160 --> 00:04:00,220 crop worth $138 million and can affect local citrus tree owners. 48 00:04:00,220 --> 00:04:06,840 The quarantine impacts over 450 businesses, including more than 100 growers with approximately 49 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,080 830 acres of commercial citrus. 50 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:17,120 San Diego County Agricultural Commissioner Ha Dang emphasized the importance of cooperation 51 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:24,640 to prevent the disease from spreading. 52 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,080 Now on to sports. 53 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,000 Today on Thursday Night Football, the Patriots head to MetLife Stadium to take on the New 54 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,360 York Jets in a pivotal Week 3 AFC East Clash. 55 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:44,600 With both teams sitting at 1-1, the Patriots will lean on Jacoby Brissette, who has 279 56 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,080 yards and one touchdown so far. 57 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:55,760 New York, led by Aaron Rodgers, will look to continue their strong start after his 462-yard, 58 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,040 four-touchdown performance. 59 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,960 The Jets are favored with a 67% win probability. 60 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,120 The Patriots defense will need to contain Bristol, who has 201 rushing yards this season 61 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,600 as they aim to pull off the upset. 62 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,020 Kickoff is set for 8.15 Eastern. 63 00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:19,600 In local sports. 64 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,660 Last night, the Padres dominated the Astros 4-0 thanks to a brilliant pitching performance 65 00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:30,720 from Dylan Cease, who carried a shutout into the ninth inning. 66 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,600 The offense came alive in the eighth as Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Donovan Solano 67 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440 hit back-to-back-to-back home runs. 68 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,000 Machado's first homer in the sixth set the tone for the late-game barrage. 69 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,820 With the win, the Padres improved to 87-66, remaining three-and-a-half games behind the 70 00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:56,040 Dodgers in the NL West. 71 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:02,040 The Padres are off tonight, but will host the Chicago White Sox tomorrow at Petco Park. 72 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,320 Joe Musgrove takes the mound for the Friars, facing Garrett Krushet. 73 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,560 First pitch is at 6.40. 74 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:17,480 In top news, the Federal Reserve has made its first interest rate cut in four years, 75 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,000 signaling a shift in its longstanding policy of rate hikes. 76 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,840 Chief economist Joe Brugioia stated, this will improve the material well-being of all 77 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,920 Americans. 78 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,120 The Fed lowered rates by a half percentage point, which will impact hiring, inflation, 79 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,280 the housing market, stocks, and borrowing costs. 80 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:44,560 Michael Matowicz, principal economist at the Roosevelt Institute, emphasized that this 81 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,120 rate cut is great news for the middle class, indicating a recovery towards sustainable 82 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,680 economic growth and increased job creation opportunities. 83 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:03,160 In business news, in a significant move, Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, 84 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,640 announced on Wednesday that the company has increased its convertible senior notes offering 85 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,360 from $700 million to $875 million. 86 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,280 This funding will enable MicroStrategy to acquire even more Bitcoin. 87 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,480 However, the announcement had an immediate impact on the market, with the stock price 88 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,260 of MicroStrategy dipping over 1% in response. 89 00:07:29,260 --> 00:07:34,760 As the company continues its aggressive strategy in the cryptocurrency space, investors are 90 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,040 closely monitoring these developments. 91 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:47,600 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $62,000, Ethereum is just under $2,400, and 92 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,120 Solana is $139. 93 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,560 Moving on to a more local vibe. 94 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,500 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 95 00:08:02,500 -->

00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,480 Let's talk tech. 105 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,920 TCL is facing serious allegations this month after tests on three of its televisions, 106 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:59,480 marketed as quantum-dot TBs, reportedly showed no evidence of actual quantum dots. 107 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,960 Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor particles that emit various colors of light when exposed 108 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,600 to specific frequencies. 109 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,360 They enhance the color range on premium televisions and monitors. 110 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:18,560 If TCL is found to be misrepresenting standard televisions as quantum-dot models, it could 111 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:24,880 lead to significant scandals, erode consumer trust, and prompt legal consequences. 112 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:31,680 However, conflicting test results and skepticism about TCL's ability to execute such a scam 113 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:35,360 raise questions about the validity of these accusations. 114 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,280 Entertainment news. 115 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:45,600 Hence, about a sequel to Constantine have been circulating for years, although it was 116 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:51,280 not a top priority due to Keanu Reeves' commitments to other projects. 117 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:59,040 The film, released in 2005, became a cult favorite, sparking genuine interest in a follow-up. 118 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:05,100 Director Francis Lawrence showed interest in 2011, while Peter Stormare seemingly confirmed 119 00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,800 it in 2020. 120 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,720 By 2021, Reeves indicated he had tried to progress the project. 121 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:20,200 Finally, in 2022, Warner Bros. confirmed the sequel is underway, with Reeves and Lawrence 122 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,960 returning. 123 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,440 More details are eagerly anticipated. 124 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:30,580 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 125 00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:37,800 And today, our quote comes from the American novelist and journalist, Ernest Hemingway. 126 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,800 And he said, 127 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,560 What man is not made for defeat? 128 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:47,480 A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. 129 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,080 And that's a wrap for this morning. 130 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:56,140 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 131 00:10:56,140 -->
