The closure 00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:15.620 will also impact passengers on the Metrolink 00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:18.600 Orange County Line, which takes travelers from 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.000 Orange County to San Diego.

Both players are 48 years 00:05:14.250 --> 00:05:18.430 old and were born one day apart in April 1977. 00:05:19.589 --> 00:05:22.189 Beltran becomes the sixth Hall of Famer raised 00:05:22.189 --> 00:05:25.350 in Puerto Rico, while Jones is the first native 00:05:25.350 --> 00:05:31.910 of Curifthau in the Hall. Sources indicate that 00:05:31.910 --> 00:05:34.670 the Los Angeles Chargers are expected to hire 00:05:34.670 --> 00:05:38.220 former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel 00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:42.379 as their new offensive coordinator. This decision 00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:45.060 comes after McDaniel interviewed for multiple 00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:48.740 positions following his firing last week. With 00:05:48.740 --> 00:05:51.160 a history of innovative offensive strategies, 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.939 McDaniel's approach has been described as revolutionary. 00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:58.839 His successful tenure in Miami included turning 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.639 around quarterback Tua Tegovaloa's career, leading 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.860 to Miami's first top -ten offensive ranking in 00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:09.470 years. Charter spans are eager to see if Inc. 00:06:09.610 --> 00:06:12.490 Daniel can help quarterback Justin Herbert secure 00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:18.649 his first playoff win. In top news, America's 00:06:18.649 --> 00:06:22.689 largest power grid operator, PJM, is facing significant 00:06:22.689 --> 00:06:25.870 challenges due to the rise of artificial intelligence 00:06:25.870 --> 00:06:29.329 data centers and increasing demand for electricity. 00:06:30.350 --> 00:06:33.910 67 million people in a 13 -state region rely 00:06:33.910 --> 00:06:36.949 on PJM's services. while the demand for power 00:06:36.949 --> 00:06:40.990 is expected to grow by 4 .8 % annually over the 00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:44.430 next decade. Consumers are frustrated with rising 00:06:44.430 --> 00:06:47.610 rates, as older power plants are closing faster 00:06:47.610 --> 00:06:51.350 than new ones can be built. PJM's board chairman, 00:06:51.709 --> 00:06:54.850 David Mills, emphasized that reliability challenges 00:06:54.850 --> 00:06:57.689 are serious, but can be solved through collaboration 00:06:57.689 --> 00:07:01.709 with policymakers and the industry. The situation 00:07:01.709 --> 00:07:05.089 is complicated. with political dynamics influencing 00:07:05.089 --> 00:07:09.449 the future of power generation. In business news, 00:07:10.689 --> 00:07:13.970 the powerful exchange Coinbase withdrew its support 00:07:13.970 --> 00:07:16.910 for the Senate Clarity Act, leaving the crypto 00:07:16.910 --> 00:07:20.850 industry infuriated. January was poised to be 00:07:20.850 --> 00:07:23.990 a significant month for crypto legislation, with 00:07:23.990 --> 00:07:28.230 negotiations underway on this crucial bill. Coinbase's 00:07:28.230 --> 00:07:31.360 CEO, Brian Armstrong, stated, We'd rather have 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.339 no bill than a bad bill, attributing the decision 00:07:34.339 --> 00:07:38.220 to last -minute lobbying from big banks. This 00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:40.740 unexpected move led to the cancellation of the 00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:43.839 markup session, as industry leaders expressed 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.759 discontent with Coinbase's actions. With midterm 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.139 elections approaching, time is running out to 00:07:50.139 --> 00:07:53.480 finalize any meaningful crypto legislation before 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.199 Congress shifts its focus to campaigning.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.759 tech. At the Worldwide Developers Conference 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.740 in 2021, Apple announced support for adding driver's 00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:18.080 licenses and state identification cards to Apple 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.600 Wallet. Since then, over a dozen states in the 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.259 United States have begun supporting this platform. 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.820 Currently, seven states are officially on board, 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.580 including Kentucky, Mississippi, Utah, Virginia, 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.279 Connecticut, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. While Kentucky 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.440 is set to launch this summer, no specific timeline 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.179 exists for the others. Additionally, other states, 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.519 such as Oklahoma, Missouri, and Florida, are 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.169 exploring digital IDs. Apple has also introduced 00:09:50.169 --> 00:09:53.090 a new solution that allows anyone with a passport 00:09:53.090 --> 00:10:03.690 to create a digital ID. The home on 169th Terrace 00:10:03.690 --> 00:10:07.330 in Miami Lakes sat along the Palm Line Street 00:10:07.330 --> 00:10:12.210 until June 29, 2016, when Miami -Dade police 00:10:12.210 --> 00:10:15.850 officer Chris Casiano and his narcotics team 00:10:15.850 --> 00:10:19.220 executed a search warrant. What was meant to 00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:22.240 be a routine drug investigation turned into a 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.080 shocking discovery of $24 million in cash, the 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.379 largest seizure in department history. This event 00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:32.679 inspired The Rip, a crime thriller starring Matt 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.500 Damon and Ben Affleck, which premiered this week 00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:40.220 on Netflix. Writer -director Joe Carnahan emphasizes 00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:43.340 that the film explores how money tests the soul 00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:47.879 and strains loyalty. Hasiano's experience shaped 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.600 the narrative into a story of friendship and 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.960 moral dilemmas. Well, all righty, folks. It's 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.940 time for the quote of the day. And today, our 00:10:58.940 --> 00:11:01.600 quote comes from the American poet and civil 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:06.220 rights activist, Maya Angelou. And she said, 00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:08.779 I've learned that people will forget what you 00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:11.840 said, people will forget what you did, but people 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.259 will never forget how you made them feel. And 00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:19.240 that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.759 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.259 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:29.759 the surf reports.
