equal civil and legal rights to African Americans

00:00:29.809 --> 00:00:32.990
and emancipated slaves, marking a significant

00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:36.049

00:00:55.969 --> 00:00:58.710
the morning, providing nice conditions for beginners.

00:00:59.590 --> 00:01:03.270
However, expect the winds to remain onshore at

00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:06.349
two to four mile per hour, creating some semi

00:01:06.349 --> 00:01:10.010

68 degrees for the water temperature. Tuesday

00:01:43.459 --> 00:01:46.260
through Thursday features a consistent need of

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:48.959
waist -high swell, with clean conditions in the

becoming choppy in the afternoon. Enjoy the ride!

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.020

00:03:49.150 --> 00:03:54.710
sent you. In local news, the city of Del Mar

00:03:54.710 --> 00:03:57.389
is facing challenges regarding a mixed -income

00:03:57.389 --> 00:04:01.830
housing development known as Seaside Ridge. The

00:04:01.830 --> 00:04:05.849
proposal includes 259 apartment units, with 42

00:04:05.849 --> 00:04:10.129
designated as affordable housing. A spokesperson

00:04:10.129 --> 00:04:13.360
for the project, Darren Pudgel indicated that

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.960
a recent court hearing prompted the city to provide

00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.560
a final determination within 60 days. Pudgel

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.480
expressed optimism, citing a similar successful

00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.939
lawsuit in La Canada, where a housing project

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:30.480
was ultimately permitted. In San Diego County,

00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:33.500
the area median income for a family of four in

00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:46.930
2025 is set at $132 ,400. Now on to sports. Rafael

00:04:46.930 --> 00:04:50.569
Devers' debut at first base did not go smoothly

00:04:50.569 --> 00:04:53.370
for the San Francisco Giants, who suffered a

00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:57.089
close 2 -1 loss against the New York Mets. Now

00:04:57.089 --> 00:05:00.209
just three games above the 500 mark, the Giants

00:05:00.209 --> 00:05:02.430
are struggling in the National League wildcard

00:05:02.430 --> 00:05:05.490
race, and the much -anticipated Devers' trade

00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:09.660
has yet to elevate the team's performance. While

00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:12.339
Devers has the potential to improve, his initial

00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:16.279
performance raised concerns among fans. Despite

00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.860
some bright moments, such as an impressive play

00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:21.139
in the fourth inning, the Giants may need to

00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:24.420
reconsider his defensive role and possibly return

00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:30.740
him to the DH position. In local sports. Yesterday

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:34.139
morning in St. Footy, the Padres beat the Cardinals

00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:38.899
9 -2 at Busch Stadium. Manny's four -hit performance,

00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.480
including two doubles, fueled the offense as

00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.519
the Padres tally 16 hits, with Bogarts and Merrill

00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.100
both homering. Kolek earned the win, pitching

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:53.139
five strong innings, while McGreevy struggled,

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.259
taking the loss after allowing five runs. The

00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:01.279
Friars' record now stands at 57 -49, keeping

00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.819
them in the playoff hunt. Tonight, the Friars

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:08.120
host the Mets at Petco Park for Game 1 of a three

00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.339
-game series. Dylan sees, with a 3 -10 record

00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:16.759
and a 4 .59 earned run average, faces Frankie

00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:21.839
Montes, who holds a 3 -1 and 4 .62. First pitch

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:28.279
at 640 under clear skies and 72 degrees. In top

00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.529
news. In Las Vegas, workers are facing a significant

00:06:32.529 --> 00:06:35.990
challenge as tourism declines this year, impacting

00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:40.170
their tip income dramatically. Visits have decreased

00:06:40.170 --> 00:06:44.149
by 6 .5 % compared to last year, and workers

00:06:44.149 --> 00:06:47.689
such as bartenders, showgirls, and dealers report

00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:51.870
tips have shrunk by more than half. Although

00:06:51.870 --> 00:06:55.529
Congress recently exempted up to $25 ,000 in

00:06:55.529 --> 00:06:58.839
tips from personal income taxes, many feel it

00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.939
does not offset the drop in earnings. Rising

00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:06.040
living costs further complicate matters, as workers

00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.220
rely heavily on tips to make ends meet. As one

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:13.040
tattoo artist said, we're all starting to freak

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:18.199
out. In business news, Warren Buffett is sending

00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.639
a blunt message regarding social security, urging

00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.920
lawmakers to prevent benefit cuts. Social Security

00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.300
is a vital income source for many retired Americans,

00:07:29.620 --> 00:07:33.899
with nearly 40 % of men and 44 % of women aged

00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:37.480
65 and older relying on it for half or more of

00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.040
their income. The average retiree receives about

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.959
$2 ,000 in monthly benefits, which is insufficient

00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.839
amidst rising inflation. Buffett warns that without

00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.959
changes, the program's trust fund could run out

00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:57.350
by 2033. risking a staggering 23 % cut in benefits.

00:07:58.269 --> 00:08:01.449
Lawmakers must act quickly to avert a senior

00:08:01.449 --> 00:08:06.889
poverty crisis. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is

00:08:06.889 --> 00:08:13.250
up 3 % over the weekend to about $119 ,000. Ethereum

00:08:13.250 --> 00:08:19.329
is up 7 % to just under $3 ,900. And XRP is up

00:08:19.329 --> 00:08:26.769
6 % to $3 .26. Moving on to a more local vibe.

00:08:27.610 --> 00:08:30.709
In our community spotlight on health and wellness,

00:08:31.069 --> 00:08:33.750

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:13.179
sunny morning sent you by. And now, back to the

00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:18.539
show. Let's talk science. Recent research reveals

00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:21.220
that groundwater pumping has caused Earth to

00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:25.429
tilt 31 .5 inches over the past two decades,

00:09:25.669 --> 00:09:28.870
impacting its rotation and contributing to sea

00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:32.330
level rise. The study published in the journal

00:09:32.330 --> 00:09:35.429
Geophysical Research Letters highlights that

00:09:35.429 --> 00:09:39.250
this tilt is linked to 2 ,100 gigatons of groundwater

00:09:39.250 --> 00:09:42.269
being redistributed, primarily for irrigation

00:09:42.269 --> 00:09:47.870
and human use. Kang Wian -seo, a geophysicist

00:09:47.870 --> 00:09:50.879
involved in the study, emphasizes the significant

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.759
role of groundwater in climate -related changes.

00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.299
Understanding these shifts could aid conservationists

00:09:58.299 --> 00:10:01.340
in addressing climate challenges and mitigating

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:10.279
sea level rise. The Fantastic Four First Steps

00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.409
has taken the top spot at the box office. earning

00:10:13.409 --> 00:10:18.269
an impressive $118 million in the U .S. and Canada

00:10:18.269 --> 00:10:23.750
and $218 million globally during its opening

00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:27.330
weekend. This marks a triumphant return for the

00:10:27.330 --> 00:10:30.029
franchise under Walt Disney Company's ownership.

00:10:31.450 --> 00:10:35.309

00:10:35.309 --> 00:10:38.389
Bakrach, and Joseph Quinn, the film received

00:10:38.389 --> 00:10:42.600
an 88 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. signaling

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:46.720
a quality comeback. In contrast, DC Studios'

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.539
Superman landed in second place with $24 .9 million

00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:56.679
domestically and a total of $503 million worldwide.

00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:01.340
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote

00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:05.220
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:08.220
American author and philosopher William James

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:13.179
Durant. And he said, The future never just happened.

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.740
It was created emphasizing the power of resilience

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:21.799
and proactive efforts in shaping outcomes. And

00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.799
