In local 00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:52.699 news, San Diego City Councilman Sean Aloe Rivera 00:03:52.699 --> 00:03:55.639 has proposed a tax on vacant second homes and 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.639 vacation rentals, stating these properties drive 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.439 up housing costs for students. On Tuesday, he 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.639 gathered with educators. Students in policy advocates 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.340 at Torrey Pines Elementary School to discuss 00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:11.219 the empty second home and vacation rental tax. 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.960 Hilo Rivera emphasized that students shouldn't 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.120 be pushed out of San Diego as vacant homes lead 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.660 to higher rents and fewer options. The proposed 00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:24.779 tax would impact less than 1 % of San Diegans 00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:28.259 and could generate up to $90 million annually. 00:04:28.970 --> 00:04:32.470 Local educators highlighted that housing instability 00:04:32.470 --> 00:04:35.949 disrupts education, reinforcing that housing 00:04:35.949 --> 00:04:44.629 policy is education policy. Now on to sports. 00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:49.250 Gambler Timothy McCormack became the first person 00:04:49.250 --> 00:04:52.430 sentenced in the wide -ranging NBA gambling scheme 00:04:52.430 --> 00:04:56.170 on Wednesday in New York. He received a sentence 00:04:56.170 --> 00:04:58.930 of two years in prison for defrauding sports 00:04:58.930 --> 00:05:01.949 betting platforms, using non -public information 00:05:01.949 --> 00:05:05.310 to place significant wagers on prop bets related 00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:10.550 to players Jaunte Porter and Terry Rozier. Judge 00:05:10.550 --> 00:05:13.490 Lashen Deerse Hall stated, there is no question 00:05:13.490 --> 00:05:16.610 that this is a serious crime, emphasizing the 00:05:16.610 --> 00:05:20.410 impact on the integrity of sports. Porter has 00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:23.550 been banned from the NBA. while Rozier awaits 00:05:23.550 --> 00:05:29.629 trial on multiple charges. In local sports, Mike 00:05:29.629 --> 00:05:32.509 McDaniel is reportedly in the process of becoming 00:05:32.509 --> 00:05:35.449 the next offensive coordinator for the Chargers, 00:05:35.769 --> 00:05:38.569 which presents an exciting opportunity for San 00:05:38.569 --> 00:05:42.389 Diego area fans.

He will now work with 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.680 quarterback Justin Herbert, whose unique skill 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.519 set aligns perfectly with McDaniel's approach. 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.139 Chargers fans should anticipate a dynamic offense 00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:04.779 that combines size and speed, potentially revitalizing 00:06:04.779 --> 00:06:07.259 the team's performance in the upcoming season. 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.579 McDaniel's tenure with the Chargers could mark 00:06:10.579 --> 00:06:13.139 a significant turning point for the franchise. 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.360 In top news... The world's oldest rock art has 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.639 been discovered in Indonesia, with a hand stencil 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:27.259 dating back 67 ,800 years, resembling a claw. 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.139 This remarkable find offers new insights into 00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:34.100 early human cognition and migration to Australia. 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.699 Located on Muna, a tropical island off southeastern 00:06:38.699 --> 00:06:42.480 Sulawesi, the cave called Leang Medenduno features 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.540 prehistoric paintings. including flying human 00:06:45.540 --> 00:06:48.939 figures in boats. The claw -like stencil is the 00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:51.459 oldest rock art attributed to modern humans, 00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:54.579 revealing sophisticated cognition during the 00:06:54.579 --> 00:06:58.500 late Pleistocene Epoch. Researchers used advanced 00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:01.920 dating techniques, confirming the ancient art's 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.199 significance in understanding human intelligence 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.319 and migration. In business news, the Supreme 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.259 Court is likely to hand Trump a rare loss on 00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:15.230 the Federal Reserve. Trump's attempts to bully 00:07:15.230 --> 00:07:17.870 the Federal Reserve received an icy reception 00:07:17.870 --> 00:07:21.430 from the justices. The Court's Republican majority 00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:23.970 typically believes that President Donald Trump 00:07:23.970 --> 00:07:27.009 can fire nearly anyone working for a federal 00:07:27.009 --> 00:07:31.329 agency. However, in Trump v. Wilcox, the Court 00:07:31.329 --> 00:07:34.310 indicated that the Federal Reserve is a uniquely 00:07:34.310 --> 00:07:37.329 structured entity, preventing Trump from firing 00:07:37.329 --> 00:07:40.930 its leaders. During oral arguments in Trump v. 00:07:41.009 --> 00:07:44.120 Cook, justices appeared skeptical of Trump's 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.420 claims against Fed Governor Lisa Cook, questioning 00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:50.199 the validity of alleged mortgage discrepancies. 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.579 Most justices seemed to agree that Trump should 00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:56.379 not be able to dictate Federal Reserve policy 00:07:56.379 --> 00:08:01.480 and crypto movement. Bitcoin is up 1 % to just 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:07.220 over $90 ,000. Ethereum is up 2 % to 3 ,000. 00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:15.449 And XRP is up 3%. to $1 .96.

The two companies are planning to 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.840 form a new joint venture that will carry the 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.700 Sony and Bragia branding. Sony has announced 00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:23.779 plans to spin off its television hardware business, 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.059 shifting it to a new joint venture with TCL. 00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:30.379 The companies have signed a non -binding agreement, 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.179 with TCL set to hold a 51 % stake and Sony holding 00:09:35.179 --> 00:09:39.340 49%. This partnership could mark the end of an 00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:41.940 era for Sony and may lead to more affordable 00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:44.980 Braggia televisions with superior technology. 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.279 They aim to finalize binding agreements by the 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:57.840 end of March 2027. The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:02.480 in Las Vegas has hit $260 million in ticket sales. 00:10:03.049 --> 00:10:06.049 This project, which took two years to develop 00:10:06.049 --> 00:10:10.090 and carried a $100 million price tag, now serves 00:10:10.090 --> 00:10:13.190 as a template for Hollywood's adaptation of classic 00:10:13.190 --> 00:10:17.090 intellectual property. Since its debut on August 00:10:17.090 --> 00:10:20.529 28th of last year, the reimagined classic has 00:10:20.529 --> 00:10:24.330 sold 2 million tickets. While ticket prices differ 00:10:24.330 --> 00:10:29.169 significantly, $260 million in sales ranks ninth 00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:32.639 domestically among theaters last year.

And today, our quote comes from the 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.840 American architect and futurist, R. Buckminster 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.480 Fuller. And he said, you never change things 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.039 by fighting the existing reality. To change something, 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.059 build a new model that makes the existing model 00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:05.100 obsolete.
