I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.580 --> 00:00:13.939 and it's Thursday, October 30th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:20.480 to know. 87 years ago, today, in 1938, a radio 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.500 dramatization of The War of the Worlds was presented 00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.750 in a realistic news bulletin style. and famously 00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:29.289 convinced many listeners they were hearing an 00:00:29.289 --> 00:00:33.689 actual alien invasion. That broadcast showcased 00:00:33.689 --> 00:00:36.929 the power of radio storytelling to stir public 00:00:36.929 --> 00:00:39.950 imagination and led to new conversations about 00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:43.329 media responsibility and the influence of mass 00:00:43.329 --> 00:00:49.130 entertainment. So now you know. And now, it's 00:00:49.130 --> 00:00:55.369 time for the Surf Report. Thursday in Encinitas. 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.079 This morning, it's looking clean with waves around 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.200 2 feet. Conditions stay clean until late morning 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.879 when they shift to fair as the wind picks up 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.239 slightly. By afternoon, expect waves to build 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.700 to 2 to 3 feet, with fair conditions continuing. 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.840 Winds will be on shore at around 5 to 10 miles 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.159 per hour in the afternoon.

Now on to sports. Haynes 00:04:58.029 --> 00:05:01.220 King, the quarterback for Georgia Tech. is gaining 00:05:01.220 --> 00:05:04.040 recognition as one of the toughest players in 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.439 college football. Last year, he played against 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.220 Georgia despite a right shoulder injury that 00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:14.339 caused him immense pain. Miraculously, just days 00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:17.259 before the game, he was able to throw deep passes. 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.600 Head coach Brent Key noted that King has an innately 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.620 high pain tolerance and can block out pain. In 00:05:25.620 --> 00:05:29.259 a remarkable performance, King threw for 303 00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:32.600 yards and ran for three touchdowns, despite the 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.300 Jackets' loss in eight overtimes. His determination 00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:40.379 has led Georgia Tech to an 8 -0 record and a 00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:42.759 number seven ranking in the Associated Press 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:48.480 poll.

Currently, the team holds a record of five 00:06:01.230 --> 00:06:05.589 wins and three losses after we gate.

If successful, 00:06:22.329 --> 00:06:24.490 they could potentially reach a record of nine 00:06:24.490 --> 00:06:28.050 wins and three losses by week 14, positioning 00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:33.009 them for a competitive season finish. In top 00:06:33.009 --> 00:06:36.930 news, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Cuba 00:06:36.930 --> 00:06:41.170 early Wednesday as a Category 3 storm after devastating 00:06:41.170 --> 00:06:45.389 Western Jamaica on Tuesday. Melissa struck near 00:06:45.389 --> 00:06:50.240 Chivirico, Cuba. with wind speeds of 125 miles 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.399 per hour at 3 a .m. and is now a category 2 storm 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.899 with maximum winds of 100 miles per hour. The 00:06:58.899 --> 00:07:01.420 storm is moving northeast, expected to reach 00:07:01.420 --> 00:07:05.740 Bermuda by Thursday night. In Jamaica, flooding 00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:09.860 left 77 % of homes without electricity, and the 00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:13.560 government declared a disaster area. More than 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:18.779 735 ,000 people were evacuated in Cuba as officials 00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:22.740 prepared for widespread flooding.

Powell emphasized 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.660 that the notion of a cut at the Fed's next gathering 00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:42.600 in December is far from a certainty. The Dow 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.339 Jones Industrial Average and the S &P 500 erased 00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:49.779 gains, while the Nasdaq Composite rose to a record 00:07:49.779 --> 00:07:53.980 high. Powell's comments highlight a growing chorus 00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:58.120 of officials wary about additional cuts. The 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.519 Fed will stop reducing its asset portfolio on 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.160 December 1, marking a significant shift in policy. 00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:07.980 Concerns about inflation and job growth continue 00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:11.899 to complicate the Fed's decisions.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:22.590 --> 00:09:26.470 tech. America only hurts itself by discounting 00:09:26.470 --> 00:09:29.909 what China has done well. After months of trade 00:09:29.909 --> 00:09:32.769 tensions, Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping 00:09:32.769 --> 00:09:35.669 are scheduled to meet in Korea for a possible 00:09:35.669 --> 00:09:38.610 agreement. This presents an occasion for the 00:09:38.610 --> 00:09:42.110 United States to learn from China's rapid technological 00:09:42.110 --> 00:09:45.730 advancements. China has become a powerhouse, 00:09:45.970 --> 00:09:48.769 leading in artificial intelligence patents and 00:09:48.769 --> 00:09:52.730 clean energy technology. To regain its competitive 00:09:52.730 --> 00:09:55.690 edge, the United States must embrace innovation 00:09:55.690 --> 00:09:59.850 and absorb talent from China. Excessive competition 00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:02.610 in China has spurred unique advancements that 00:10:02.610 --> 00:10:06.179 the US can learn from. Ignoring these lessons 00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:12.799 may leave America lagging behind. Entertainment 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.840 news. Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.539 hits like Tulsa King and Landman, is leaving 00:10:20.539 --> 00:10:23.379 Paramount after tensions with new chief executive 00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:27.159 David Ellison's leadership team. Sheridan valued 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.799 creative freedom at Paramount, but that began 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.340 to change with Ellison's arrival following the 00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:36.129 merger with Skydance. Disagreements over project 00:10:36.129 --> 00:10:38.730 pitches and budget scrutiny prompted Sheridan 00:10:38.730 --> 00:10:42.149 to sign a five -year contract with NBCUniversal, 00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:46.470 potentially worth up to $1 billion. While he 00:10:46.470 --> 00:10:48.730 plans to fulfill his remaining commitments to 00:10:48.730 --> 00:10:51.429 Paramount, the loss of Sheridan represents a 00:10:51.429 --> 00:10:54.269 significant challenge for Ellison, especially 00:10:54.269 --> 00:10:58.779 amid upcoming layoffs. Giridon's departure highlights 00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:02.039 the struggle between fostering talent and controlling 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.539 costs in the entertainment industry. Well, alrighty 00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:10.539 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:13.580 today, our quote comes from the American journalist 00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:18.559 and author, Walter Lippman. And he said, We all 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:23.139 think alike, no one thinks very much. And that's 00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:26.129 a wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:11:26.129 --> 00:11:29.970 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating 00:11:29.970 --> 00:11:33.629 aerial videos with local news and the surf reports. 00:11:34.789 --> 00:11:37.409 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
