00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:20.920

resumed human spaceflight with the launch of

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.480
the space shuttle Discovery, marking a bold return

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.460
to exploration. After a period of reflection

00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:32.840
and renewal, inspiring confidence in the promise

00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:39.039

around 4 to 5 feet on Tuesday, ideal for catching

00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:45.099
some rides early on. Wednesday sees similar sizes,

00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.099
with clean conditions continuing, but expect

00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:52.260
some choppy waves by midday. Thursday goes slightly

00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:55.319
to 4 to 6 feet, maintaining clean conditions

00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.879

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.419
vital oasis amidst Southern California urban

00:03:40.419 --> 00:03:43.300
sprawl. But discussions around its future are

00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:45.539
heating up as the federal government considers

00:03:45.539 --> 00:03:48.259
development opportunities on the base for the

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:52.469
first time in its 83 -year history. The United

00:03:52.469 --> 00:03:55.330
States Department of Defense is evaluating portions

00:03:55.330 --> 00:03:59.629
of the 125 ,000 -acre site in northwestern San

00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:03.069
Diego County for potential commercial leasing.

00:04:04.129 --> 00:04:06.969
Secretary of the Navy John Phelan recently toured

00:04:06.969 --> 00:04:10.189
the base, sparking conversations about maximizing

00:04:10.189 --> 00:04:13.810
value while ensuring mission readiness. With

00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:16.870
a regional economic impact exceeding $6 billion

00:04:16.870 --> 00:04:20.449
annually, Local leaders express concerns over

00:04:20.449 --> 00:04:23.110
large -scale developments without collaboration.

00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:27.389

00:04:27.389 --> 00:04:35.790
future of Camp Pendleton remains uncertain. Now

00:04:35.790 --> 00:04:41.149
onto sports. Team USA staged a Ryder Cup comeback

00:04:41.149 --> 00:04:44.110
for the ages, but ultimately lost to Europe.

00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.980
who took the Cup on U .S. soil for the first

00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:51.459
time since 2012. Captain Keegan Bradley's hopes

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:54.420
were dim, but he inspired the team to aim for

00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:57.879
a historic comeback. With the U .S. trailing,

00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:00.819
Bradley urged, I want to go out there and make

00:05:00.819 --> 00:05:04.879
history. Despite a thrilling run, Europe secured

00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.560
a 15 -13 victory. As Rory McIlroy said, we did

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.279
what we needed to do. And we're going to celebrate

00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:17.339
like there's no tomorrow. Last night, Sunday

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:21.519

Nick Pivetta is on the bump. In top news, Rudy

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.459
Giuliani, the former New York mayor and personal

00:07:33.459 --> 00:07:36.550
lawyer to Donald Trump. has settled a long -running

00:07:36.550 --> 00:07:39.790
defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems

00:07:39.790 --> 00:07:43.329
over lies he told about the result of the 2020

00:07:43.329 --> 00:07:46.730
presidential election. Details of the settlement

00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:49.649
are confidential, as revealed in federal court

00:07:49.649 --> 00:07:54.189
in Washington, D .C. Domingue sued Giuliani for

00:07:54.189 --> 00:07:58.569
$1 billion in 2021, citing over 50 instances

00:07:58.569 --> 00:08:01.170
of false statements insisting the election was

00:08:01.170 --> 00:08:05.459
rigged. A Dominion spokesperson confirmed the

00:08:05.459 --> 00:08:08.560
confidential settlement, marking it as the company's

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.540
third payout in similar lawsuits. Giuliani's

00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:14.779
involvement in promoting election misinformation

00:08:14.779 --> 00:08:17.579
has led to severe professional consequences,

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:23.279
including disbarment. In business news, Volvo's

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.300
most popular vehicle in America will soon be

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:31.040
made here, too. Chief executive Haken Samuelson

00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.000
announced the Swedish automaker will launch more

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.159
hybrid models for US drivers. Volvo Cars' only

00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.419
US factory in Ridgeville, South Carolina, was

00:08:41.419 --> 00:08:45.879
expected to create 4 ,000 jobs. Currently, half

00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.500
that number produces electric vehicles. Beginning

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:53.320
next year, production of the XC60 SUV will ramp

00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.700
up at this $1 .3 billion plant. The model has

00:08:57.700 --> 00:09:00.519
been imported from Sweden, but tariffs now make

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.259
U .S. manufacturing viable. Volvo aims to electrify

00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:10.559
90 % of its U .S. fleet by 2030. Additionally,

00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:13.700
the company plans to introduce a new hybrid designed

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:18.679

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:32.379
tech. The new version of Chat GPT is available

00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:35.379
now, marking an important step forward for iPhone

00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:40.440
and Mac users. Released earlier this month, GPT

00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.620
5 promises a significant leap in intelligence

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:47.779
over all our previous models. This version has

00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:50.519
been activated as the standard model for free

users, while premium features require payment.

00:10:54.439 --> 00:10:57.860
OpenAI's CDO, Sam Altman, believes this version

00:10:57.860 --> 00:11:01.399
is a big step toward artificial general intelligence.

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.460
Chat GPT -5 will improve accuracy, generating

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:11.299
fewer hallucinations. Integration with macOS

00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:15.620
and iOS is expected soon, with updates anticipated

00:11:15.620 --> 00:11:19.679
next month. Apple users may benefit from enhanced

00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:26.210
privacy and performance with this upgrade. Entertainment

00:11:26.210 --> 00:11:30.169
news. The new trailer for The Mandalorian and

00:11:30.169 --> 00:11:33.870
Grogu resembles a Muppet movie featuring a famous

00:11:33.870 --> 00:11:37.090
human surrounded by quirky non -human creatures.

00:11:38.649 --> 00:11:41.149
Sigourney Weaver is the only human prominently

00:11:41.149 --> 00:11:44.830
featured seen in a space diner as Grogu, also

00:11:44.830 --> 00:11:48.629
known as Baby Yoda, tries to use the Force to

00:11:48.629 --> 00:11:52.309
steal her bowl of space snacks. The trailer showcases

00:11:52.309 --> 00:11:55.309
a mix of puppets, computer -generated imagery,

00:11:55.570 --> 00:11:58.330
and masked characters, including the titular

00:11:58.330 --> 00:12:01.649
Mandalorian, Din Duran, who keeps his helmet

00:12:01.649 --> 00:12:05.210
on throughout. Set for release in theaters on

00:12:05.210 --> 00:12:09.809
May 22, 2026, this film is the first theatrically

00:12:09.809 --> 00:12:12.909
released feature in the Star Wars universe since

00:12:12.909 --> 00:12:18.070
2019's Rise of Skywalker. Well, all righty, folks.

00:12:18.370 --> 00:12:22.139
It's time for the quote of the day. And today,

00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:24.779
our quote comes from the American writer and

00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:29.220
philosopher, Henry David Thoreau. And he said,

00:12:30.179 --> 00:12:33.200
what you get by achieving your goals is not as

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.720
important as what you become by achieving your

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.600
goals. And that's a wrap for this morning. You
