You'll be interested to know.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,500
154 years ago, today in 1870, the Italian troops occupied Rome, leading to the eventual

5
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:28,440
incorporation of Rome into the Kingdom of Italy and limiting papal governing authority

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,120
to the Vatican itself and a small district around it.

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,600
This significant event marked the end of the Papal States, unifying Italy and establishing

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,440
Rome as its capital, reshaping the political landscape of the region.

9
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,520

46
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:46,160
In local news, city officials in Encinitas are now considering adding pickleball and

47
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:52,280
sand volleyball courts to Encinitas Community Park, shifting away from plans for an aquatic

48
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640
complex and teen center.

49
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Recently, the City Council voted unanimously to task city staff with gathering cost estimates

50
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,400
for public feedback on these new options.

52
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:21,840
center, while Mayor Tony Kranz noted ongoing operational expenses would also be significant.

53
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,520
Now on to sports.

54
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,600
Last night, on Thursday night football, the Patriots were overpowered by the Jets, losing

55
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,960
24-3 at MetLife Stadium.

56
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,480
New England's offense struggled, managing just 139 total yards and a lone field goal

57
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,840
from Joey Sly.

58
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:47,880
Jacoby Brissette had a rough day with only 100 passing yards, while Ramondre Stevenson's

59
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,520
fumble in the fourth quarter sealed the Pats' spade.

60
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,280
Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns, connecting with Alan Lazard and Garrett Wilson, as the

61
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:01,040
Jets controlled the game from start to finish.

62
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,360
The Pats will now have 10 days off to lick their wounds and prepare to face the 49ers

63
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,640

65
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440
1-1 Falcons.

66
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,240
After two straight nail-biting wins, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will look to keep their

67
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:29,800
unbeaten streak alive against a revitalized Falcon squad led by Kirk Cousins and rookie

68
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,000
standout Bijan Robinson.

69
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,440
With the Falcons coming off a thrilling victory, this matchup promises excitement.

70
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,040
Turning to college football on Saturday, 11th ranked USC travels to Ann Arbor to take on

Quarterback DJ O'Neal will lead the Aztecs, with running back Martin Cooper playing a

83
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,000
key role.

84
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,080
San Diego State will need a strong defensive performance to stop the Chippewas rushing

85
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,080
attack.

86
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,960

91
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,960

92
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,440

has been named the healthiest vegetable, earning a perfect nutrient density score of 100 out

96
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,280

97
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,560

99
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,920
watercress as a nutrient-dense food.

100
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,960
While it may not be a common item in American refrigerators, understanding its health benefits

101
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:07,580
can encourage more people to incorporate this impressive vegetable into their meals.

102
00:08:07,580 --> 00:08:14,640
In business news, Truex, a new cryptocurrency exchange, has launched as the market looks

103
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:20,640
to recover from the collapse of FDX in late 2022.

104
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:26,160
Developed by Vishal Gupta, former head of exchange at Coinbase, and ex-Coinbase engineer

105
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:33,160
Patrick McCreary, Truex aims to revolutionize trading by focusing on stablecoins.

106
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,800
We just rethought the entire thing Gupta shared in an interview with Fortune.

107
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,720
Truex addresses the challenge of connecting fiat currencies with digital assets utilizing

108
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:51,900
stablecoins like Tether and USDcoin, enabling traders to hold value in a less volatile asset

109
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:57,400
compared to traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

110
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,800
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,700.

111
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,760
Ethereum is just under $2,400.

112
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,440
And Solana is $142.

113
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Moving on to a more local vibe.

114
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,800

And now back to the show.

124
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,520
Let's talk science.

125
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Voyager 1 has been traveling away from Earth for 47 years, exploring the farthest reaches

126
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,120
of space.

127
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:22,760
However, NASA faces challenges as the probe ages, now located 15 billion miles from home.

128
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,680
The primary issue involves a deteriorating rubber diaphragm inside its fuel tank, which

129
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:33,000
has caused clogging in the thruster tubes with silicon dioxide.

130
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,040
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory first identified this problem in 2002.

131
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,640
Fortunately, Voyager 1 is equipped with three sets of thrusters.

132
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:51,360
After switching to the second set in 2018, NASA is now utilizing the third set to continue

133
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,280
its journey.

134
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Entertainment news.

135
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,640
Comedian Matt Walsh goes undercover in Am I Racist?

136
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,120
A satire appealing to right-leaning filmgoers.

137
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:13,080
Already released, the film is The Daily Wire's first wide theatrical release, opening in

138
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,560
1,510 theaters.

139
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:22,600
Explore It's style mockumentary critiques the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement,

140
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,240
aiming to capture the attention of a demographic often overlooked by Hollywood.

141
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,040
Walsh notes that the film industry is leaving plenty of money on the table, as it neglects

142
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,040
a substantial portion of potential viewers.

143
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,080
And I, racist, hopes to join the ranks of successful alternative films.

144
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:47,960
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

145
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,600
And today, our quote comes from the American basketball player and cultural icon, Michael

146
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,480
Jordan.

147
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,520
And he said,

148
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,440
Some people want it to happen.

149
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,640
Some wish it would happen.

150
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,040
And others make it happen.

151
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,620
And that's a wrap for this morning.

152
00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:14,800
