Buddy 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.719 Holly recorded several chart -topping hit singles 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.820 that blended rock and roll with melodic songwriting, 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.219 showcasing his clear voice and inventive guitar 00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:33.000 work. That creative success helped define a new 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000 sound for popular music and inspired countless 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.060 musicians, cementing his influence on modern 00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:43.179 songwriting and performance. So now you know. 00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:50.719 And now it's time for the Surf Report. Tuesday 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.179 in Encinitas. This morning it's looking clean 00:00:54.179 --> 00:00:58.159 with waves at four to five plus feet.

The sunset will 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.039 take place at 524 and it will rise again tomorrow 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.960 at 643.

Nestled on El Camino Real South, 00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:13.729 just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe 00:03:13.729 --> 00:03:17.780 is a haven for culinary delights.

The discussion around a proposed wealth 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.939 tax in California has sparked fears among some 00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:48.419 billionaires about relocating, but history suggests 00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:51.680 otherwise. While Massachusetts implemented a 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.759 similar tax, the number of high net worth individuals 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.599 actually increased, bringing in an additional 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.469 $2 .5 billion in tax revenue for 2023. Burpin 00:04:03.469 --> 00:04:06.590 policy analyst Peter Dreier argues that claims 00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:10.729 of mass exodus are often exaggerated and historically 00:04:10.729 --> 00:04:14.430 unfounded. In fact, many billionaires express 00:04:14.430 --> 00:04:18.050 a commitment to stay, focusing on their responsibilities 00:04:18.050 --> 00:04:21.649 rather than fleeing. As California's billionaire 00:04:21.649 --> 00:04:24.910 tax proposal moves forward, it faces scrutiny 00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:27.889 and potential legal challenges, but the narrative 00:04:27.889 --> 00:04:31.170 of wealthy individuals leaving remains a familiar 00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:40.600 refrain. Now on to sports. New England Patriots 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.519 quarterback Drake May, who injured his right 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.439 throwing shoulder in the AFC Championship game, 00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:49.399 stated he took his normal number of throws at 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.180 practice on Monday and that his recovery has 00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:55.500 turned a corner, leading into Super Bowl 60 against 00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:59.139 the Seattle Seahawks. He expressed, I'm feeling 00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:03.100 good. I'll be just fine before winking. May was 00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:06.160 limited in practice on Thursday and did not practice 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.800 on Friday due to illness. At the opening night 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.480 festivities at the San Jose Convention Center, 00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:15.819 he noted Sunday as a turning point, perhaps aided 00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:18.519 by the 60 -degree temperatures in California. 00:05:19.899 --> 00:05:22.480 May mentioned he threw a good bit during a 90 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.319 -minute practice at Stanford University on Monday, 00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:28.620 and he is looking forward to a normal week of 00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:33.860 prep. In local sports, Mason Miller is set to 00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:36.379 make a big impact for the Friars this season 00:05:36.379 --> 00:05:40.680 after a standout performance last year. Traded 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.180 to the Friars at the deadline, he established 00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:46.600 himself as a top closer, setting a playoff record 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.699 with a 104 .5 mile per hour fastball. In September 00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:54.540 and October, hitters struggled against him, going 00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:59.360 one for 37 with 26 strikeouts. Miller will also 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.860 represent Team USA as their closer in the upcoming 00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:06.079 World Baseball Classic, an opportunity he couldn't 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.420 pass up. With his competitive spirit and team 00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:11.959 -first attitude, fans are excited to see what 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.860 he brings to the mound this season. In top news, 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.500 robotaxi pioneer Waymo has raised another $16 00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.889 billion. to help fuel its ambition for its fleet 00:06:24.889 --> 00:06:27.790 of self -driving cars to provide rides throughout 00:06:27.790 --> 00:06:31.050 the world, while other deep -pocketed rival services 00:06:31.050 --> 00:06:35.310 backed by Tesla and Amazon try to catch up. The 00:06:35.310 --> 00:06:38.110 fundraising announced Monday Value's Waymo at 00:06:38.110 --> 00:06:43.689 $126 billion. This appraisal underscores investors' 00:06:43.750 --> 00:06:46.769 desire to own a piece of the rapidly expanding 00:06:46.769 --> 00:06:50.699 robotaxi market. Waymo plans to use the funds 00:06:50.699 --> 00:06:54.180 to extend its reach beyond six metropolitan areas, 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.680 gearing up to enter over 20 other cities, including 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:02.180 London and Tokyo. Waymo's robotaxis already provide 00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:07.120 more than 400 ,000 weekly rides. In business 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.860 news, Apple's AI chief, John Gianandrea, is stepping 00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:14.899 down from his position remaining an advisor until 00:07:14.899 --> 00:07:18.949 he retires in the spring of 2026. He will be 00:07:18.949 --> 00:07:22.829 replaced by Amar Supermania, who previously worked 00:07:22.829 --> 00:07:25.589 at Google and Microsoft making a name for himself 00:07:25.589 --> 00:07:30.170 as a prominent AI researcher. Supermania was 00:07:30.170 --> 00:07:33.029 instrumental in developing Gemini and Imagine 00:07:33.029 --> 00:07:35.910 3 at Google, and now he will lead Apple's efforts 00:07:35.910 --> 00:07:40.670 in foundation models and AI safety. Most of June 00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:44.089 Andrea's team will now report to Eddy Q. as Apple 00:07:44.089 --> 00:07:46.910 prepares for the next -generation Siri release 00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:51.290 for over a billion users.

Jupiter is not as huge 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.779 as we thought it was. The solar system's largest 00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:07.740 planet is slightly less of a giant than scientists 00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:11.440 once believed. Jupiter is 8 kilometers narrower 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.840 at its equator, and 24 kilometers flatter at 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.539 its poles than previously estimated, according 00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:21.059 to a new study. These new measurements overturn 00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:24.340 almost 50 years of consensus about the size and 00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:28.179 shape of Jupiter. Yochai Caspi, a professor at 00:09:28.179 --> 00:09:30.679 the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, 00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:34.460 Israel, stated, textbooks will need to be updated. 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.860 NASA's Juno mission has allowed for clearer observations 00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:42.600 of Jupiter's size. This research will have significant 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.200 implications for studying Jupiter's features 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:52.340 and understanding how gas giants formed. Entertainment 00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:55.799 news. Kelly Clarkson is ending her talk show 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:59.720 after seven seasons. NBC confirms that Clarkson 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.899 made a personal decision to step away from hosting 00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:07.899 this year. Season 7 will run through Fall 2026 00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:11.159 with a few special guest hosts in between, but 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.600 Clarkson will be present for most of the season. 00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:17.220 Clarkson shared, Stepping away from the daily 00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:20.059 schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.279 which feels necessary and right for this next 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:34.179 chapter of our lives. She added, Clarkson will 00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:38.419 begin her Las Vegas residency this summer. Well, 00:10:38.419 --> 00:10:41.320 alrighty, folks. It's time for the quote of the 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.480 day. And today, our quote comes from the British 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.960 philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead. 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:59.759 And he said, And that's a wrap for this morning. 00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:03.299 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and 00:11:03.299 --> 00:11:06.980 TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with 00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:11.019 local news and the surf reports.
