WEBVTT 00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:04.700 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:09.039 Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:13.640 and it's Tuesday, January 20th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:19.420 to know. 90 years ago, today, in 1936, a local 00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:22.359 college basketball game was transmitted on early 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.179 television equipment, making it the first time 00:00:25.179 --> 00:00:28.399 a sport reached a home audience via live electronic 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.649 pictures. That milestone showed how broadcast 00:00:31.649 --> 00:00:34.570 technology could bring live athletic competition 00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:38.070 into everyday homes and set a precedent for sports 00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:40.750 becoming a central part of mass entertainment. 00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:46.950 So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf 00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:53.609 Report. Tuesday in Ansanita. This morning it's 00:00:53.609 --> 00:00:56.810 looking clean with waves around one to two feet. 00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.159 Conditions hold steady at 2 feet until 9 a .m. 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.980 when they shift to 2 to 3 plus feet. Winds are 00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:08.219 offshore early, switching to onshore at 2 miles 00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:11.819 per hour by 9 a .m. and increasing slightly throughout 00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:15.879 the day. Best time to ride is at 7 a .m. with 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.939 a 4 -foot incoming mid -tide when the west swell 00:01:18.939 --> 00:01:22.680 is 1 feet at 15 seconds and the offshore wind 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.760 is 1 mile per hour. The first high tide on Tuesday 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.799 will be 6 feet just before 9 .30 a .m., followed 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.319 by a minus 1 foot low tide at 4 .30. The nearshore 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.260 buoy at Beacons reads 62 degrees for the water 00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:42.900 temperature. Conditions are looking favorable 00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:46.120 with clean sets around 2 to 3 feet on Wednesday. 00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:50.540 Thursday maintains similar size, but faces choppy 00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:53.120 conditions in the afternoon as winds increase. 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.159 Friday sees a drop to one to two feet with choppy 00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.439 conditions throughout the day, making it the 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.280 least favorable option of the three. This morning, 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.400 there's patchy fog, and it feels like 57 degrees 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.639 with no wind. The sunset will take place at 510, 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.699 and it will rise again tomorrow at 652. It looks 00:02:16.699 --> 00:02:19.520 like we're in for some patchy fog early today, 00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:22.879 clearing up by mid -morning with mostly sunny 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.680 skies and a high near 66 with a light southwest 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.639 breeze. Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:37.080 a low around 53 and calm winds. Looking ahead 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.159 in the weather, Wednesday starts with patchy 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.460 fog before 10 a .m. then becomes partly sunny 00:02:43.460 --> 00:02:46.680 with a high near 64 and light southwest winds 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.259 up to five miles per hour. A chance of spotty 00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:53.219 showers and more patchy fog arrives late Wednesday 00:02:53.219 --> 00:02:55.659 night into Thursday morning with lows around 00:02:55.659 --> 00:02:59.180 54. Then Thursday stays mostly cloudy with a 00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:03.819 high near 62 and lingering shower chances. Bonjour, 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.020 food enthusiasts.

In local 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.030 news, has a gas station near you closed? This 00:03:46.030 --> 00:03:50.050 new California law could be the reason. The recently 00:03:50.050 --> 00:03:53.409 shuttered 76 station on Alameda's Bay Farm Island 00:03:53.409 --> 00:03:56.430 is surrounded by a cyclone fence, with faded 00:03:56.430 --> 00:03:59.610 signs still advertising lottery tickets and fuel 00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:02.969 pumps now dismantled. The former owner, Simon 00:04:02.969 --> 00:04:05.569 Kim, could not afford to replace the outdated 00:04:05.569 --> 00:04:09.550 tanks, which required a cost of $2 million, leading 00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:13.289 to the station's closure on November 30th. As 00:04:13.289 --> 00:04:17.019 of January 1st, California mandates that underground 00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:20.199 fuel tanks must have dual protective shells to 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.060 prevent environmental contamination, which many 00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:26.000 gas station owners find prohibitively expensive. 00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:29.660 This situation has left numerous gas stations 00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:33.139 across the state facing similar challenges, creating 00:04:33.139 --> 00:04:36.439 concerns over potential fuel shortages and rising 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:46.060 gas prices. Now on to sports. The Hoosiers are 00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:49.740 national champions. In Miami Gardens, Florida, 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.339 Fernando Mendoza showcased his skills, executing 00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:56.439 a remarkable touchdown for Indiana University, 00:04:56.899 --> 00:05:01.139 sealing a 27 -21 victory over Miami, and completing 00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:05.000 an undefeated season. Mendoza's pivotal 12 -yard 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.519 touchdown run defined the game, contributing 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.639 to his impressive 186 yards passing. With a perfect 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.370 16 -0 record, Indiana celebrates a championship 00:05:16.370 --> 00:05:19.470 that marks a significant turnaround for a program 00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:23.569 long burdened by losses. Signetti reflected on 00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:26.589 the achievement, calling it one of the greatest 00:05:26.589 --> 00:05:30.730 sports stories of all time. In local sports, 00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:35.449 the San Diego Rodeo concluded at Petco Park after 00:05:35.449 --> 00:05:39.389 another year of drawing sold -out crowds. Despite 00:05:39.389 --> 00:05:42.509 ongoing concerns about animal welfare, the event, 00:05:42.730 --> 00:05:45.550 which is in its third year, continued to attract 00:05:45.550 --> 00:05:49.750 fans from throughout the region. C5, the organizing 00:05:49.750 --> 00:05:52.689 company, expressed gratitude to sponsors and 00:05:52.689 --> 00:05:55.629 attendees, looking forward to another successful 00:05:55.629 --> 00:05:59.189 event. However, multiple groups have protested 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:03.410 the rodeo, citing animal cruelty concerns. A 00:06:03.410 --> 00:06:05.709 court case is underway with the Animal Protection 00:06:05.709 --> 00:06:08.370 and Rescue League suing the San Diego Padres, 00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:11.250 while the Humane Society continues to oppose 00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:14.310 rodeos due to the risks they pose to animals. 00:06:16.730 --> 00:06:20.730 In top news, San Francisco will offer free childcare 00:06:20.730 --> 00:06:25.069 to families earning less than $230 ,000 a year 00:06:25.069 --> 00:06:29.370 and a 50 % subsidy to those earning up to $310 00:06:29.370 --> 00:06:33.000 ,000. in an effort to make this city more affordable. 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:35.920 Mayor Daniel Lurie announced this initiative 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.540 as part of his Family Opportunity Agenda, stating 00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:42.519 it aims to reduce living costs for families by 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.819 tens of thousands of dollars annually. The program 00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:48.920 is funded by unspent tax dollars from Proposition 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.759 C, providing access to over 500 child care providers 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.439 citywide. This measure is expected to significantly 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.399 help families amidst the affordability crisis. 00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:04.519 In business news, President Donald Trump has 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.959 proposed a 10 % cap on credit card interest rates 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.000 to address affordability concerns before the 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.019 midterm elections. However, banks have pushed 00:07:14.019 --> 00:07:16.860 back, arguing that this cap could reduce access 00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:19.720 to credit, especially for those with lower credit 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.939 scores. Currently, credit card interest rates 00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:26.860 average about 22%, and implementing such a cap 00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:29.480 would likely require legislation from Congress. 00:07:30.029 --> 00:07:33.329 A study from Vandergilt University suggests that 00:07:33.329 --> 00:07:37.189 a 10 % cap could save consumers $100 billion 00:07:37.189 --> 00:07:41.370 annually. Banks may reduce rewards programs to 00:07:41.370 --> 00:07:44.430 offset profit losses, but many analysts believe 00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:48.509 consumers would still benefit overall. In crypto 00:07:48.509 --> 00:07:53.750 movement, Bitcoin is down 1 % to about $92 ,000. 00:07:55.269 --> 00:08:00.000 Ethereum is down 1 % to just over $3 ,000. And 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:07.199 XRP is unchanged at $1 .97. Moving on to a more 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.740 local vibe. In our community spotlight on health 00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:14.379 and wellness, we are working with a national 00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:17.259 Pilates studio to bring you some free classes, 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:22.139 so listen up.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:08:57.740 --> 00:09:01.039 tech. General Motors Chief Executive Officer 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.960 Mary Barra says people aren't plugging in their 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.000 plug -in hybrids, which defeats their whole purpose. 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.659 Plug -in hybrid vehicles might be even less fuel 00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:13.440 efficient than gas -only cars when owners do 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.620 not plug them in. Barra noted at a conference 00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:19.419 that most plug -in hybrid owners do not charge 00:09:19.419 --> 00:09:22.240 their vehicles, leading to concerns about their 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.470 environmental benefits. In the United States, 00:09:25.830 --> 00:09:28.509 transportation is the largest source of greenhouse 00:09:28.509 --> 00:09:31.570 gas emissions, making the transition to electric 00:09:31.570 --> 00:09:35.009 vehicles crucial. Research shows that plug -in 00:09:35.009 --> 00:09:37.870 hybrids may produce significantly higher carbon 00:09:37.870 --> 00:09:40.909 dioxide emissions than official estimates suggest. 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.019 Matthew McConaughey is taking a novel legal approach 00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:52.899 to combat unauthorized artificial intelligence 00:09:52.899 --> 00:09:56.639 fakes by trademarking himself. Over the past 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.580 several months, the interstellar and Magic Mike 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:02.740 star has had eight trademark applications approved 00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:05.620 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.539 His attorney stated the trademarks are meant 00:10:08.539 --> 00:10:11.120 to stop artificial intelligence applications 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.259 or users. from simulating McConaughey's voice 00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:18.340 or likeness without permission. McConaughey said, 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:29.340 His lawyers hope these trademarks can deter unauthorized 00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:32.139 duplications of him in a world grappling with 00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:36.580 artificial intelligence misuse. Well, alrighty 00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:40.600 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.669 today, Our quote comes from the American television 00:10:43.669 --> 00:10:49.129 pioneer, Philo T. Farnsworth. And he said, television 00:10:49.129 --> 00:10:51.970 is a gift of light bringing the world into our 00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:55.350 homes and expanding our horizons beyond imagination. 00:10:57.190 --> 00:11:00.330 And that's a wrap for this morning.
