In local news, Kaiser Permanente is 00:03:56.409 --> 00:03:59.210 facing a growing strike as hundreds of healthcare 00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:01.990 workers, including pharmacists and laboratory 00:04:01.990 --> 00:04:05.189 workers, joined nurses from the United Nurses 00:04:05.189 --> 00:04:08.250 Associations of California, Union of Healthcare 00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:11.189 Professionals, protesting what they call bad 00:04:11.189 --> 00:04:14.310 faith bargaining and unfair labor practices. 00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:18.389 The strike now in its third week highlights accusations 00:04:18.389 --> 00:04:21.410 of staffing shortages and patient care delays. 00:04:23.149 --> 00:04:25.430 Kaiser reports that more employees are opting 00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:28.769 to return to work despite union pressures, stating, 00:04:29.149 --> 00:04:31.509 employees who want to return to care for patients 00:04:31.509 --> 00:04:34.569 should not face any level of intimidation from 00:04:34.569 --> 00:04:39.230 their unions. The company offered a 21 .5 % wage 00:04:39.230 --> 00:04:42.019 increase but claims the union's demands could 00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:47.040 raise payroll costs by $3 billion annually. Caregivers 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.139 are urging Kaiser to return to the bargaining 00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:52.439 table to prioritize safe staffing and patient 00:04:52.439 --> 00:05:02.680 care. Now on to sports. Team USA curling has 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.139 advanced to the mixed doubles gold medal game 00:05:05.139 --> 00:05:08.379 after a stunning upset over the defending champions. 00:05:09.090 --> 00:05:12.350 Corey Thies and Corey Drakken finished the round 00:05:12.350 --> 00:05:15.529 robin session with a record of six wins and three 00:05:15.529 --> 00:05:18.509 losses, making history as the first American 00:05:18.509 --> 00:05:21.709 mixed doubles team to reach the medal round since 00:05:21.709 --> 00:05:24.149 the discipline was introduced in the Winter Olympics 00:05:24.149 --> 00:05:28.949 in 2018. In the semifinal, they faced Stefania 00:05:28.949 --> 00:05:32.350 Constantini and Amos Mosaner from Team Italy, 00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:36.930 the 2022 gold medalist. After a nail -biting 00:05:36.930 --> 00:05:40.860 match, Team USA won 9 -8, thanks to a clutch 00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:44.040 final shot from Thesi. They will now compete 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.800 against Sweden for the gold medal on Tuesday 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.300 in local sports. Chula Vista native Jason Myers 00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:56.540 had a stand -up performance in Super Bowl 60, 00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:59.420 kicking a record five field goals and scoring 00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:03.079 a total of 17 points. Also a Super Bowl record 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.399 for a kicker. as the Seahawks defeated the Pats 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:11.480 29 -13. Myers, who graduated from Materday Catholic 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.360 High School, has become a local legend, with 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.939 his jerseys displayed at the school. John Carney, 00:06:18.379 --> 00:06:20.600 former kicker for the Chargers, praised Myers' 00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:23.279 achievement, stating it ranks among the best 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.220 playoff performances ever by a kicker. Additionally, 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.259 Myers set the NFL record for total points in 00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:34.490 a single season, scoring 206 points this year. 00:06:36.670 --> 00:06:40.509 In top news, protein shakes are widely available 00:06:40.509 --> 00:06:43.689 and often marketed as convenient meal alternatives, 00:06:44.170 --> 00:06:46.110 which may leave you wondering whether you can 00:06:46.110 --> 00:06:50.149 have protein shakes instead of meals. Replacing 00:06:50.149 --> 00:06:52.689 meals with protein shakes can affect your body 00:06:52.689 --> 00:06:55.629 in different ways, depending on the shake's nutrient 00:06:55.629 --> 00:06:59.259 content. Most commercial protein shakes provide 00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:03.339 20 to 30 grams of protein per serving. Protein 00:07:03.339 --> 00:07:06.259 shakes provide a quick, easy way to consume protein, 00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:09.139 making it easier to increase overall protein 00:07:09.139 --> 00:07:12.519 intake. When a protein shake replaces a meal, 00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:16.240 consider which nutrients may be missing. In most 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.259 cases, protein shakes work best as a supplement, 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.180 rather than a routine replacement for whole meals. 00:07:23.579 --> 00:07:27.860 In business news, Elon Musk says that SpaceX 00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:31.040 will prioritize the establishment of a self -growing 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.060 city on the moon instead of a colony on Mars. 00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:38.439 This decision marks a significant shift in Musk's 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.560 space exploration ambitions. In a post on his 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.920 social media platform X, Musk stated that a lunar 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.379 city could be built within the next decade. He 00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:50.819 emphasized that the mission of SpaceX remains 00:07:50.819 --> 00:07:54.000 the same. to extend consciousness and life as 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.680 we know it to the stars. Musk indicated that 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.500 SpaceX would resume a Mars efforts in the next 00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:03.240 five to seven years, but building on the moon 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.699 would be more efficient. In crypto movement, 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.300 Bitcoin is down 9 % to about $70 ,000. Ethereum 00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:19.079 is down 8 % to just over 2 ,000. And XRP is down 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:26.550 10%. to $1 .45. Moving on to a more local vibe. 00:08:27.670 --> 00:08:30.490 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, 00:08:31.129 --> 00:08:33.529 we are working with a national Pilates studio 00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:37.429 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 00:08:37.909 --> 00:08:40.889 Check out Club Pilates with several locations 00:08:40.889 --> 00:08:44.909 in the San Diego area.

Just be sure to tell them 00:09:08.750 --> 00:09:12.789 Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the 00:09:12.789 --> 00:09:18.169 show. Let's talk science. Ripples in spacetime 00:09:18.169 --> 00:09:20.549 from a pair of merging black holes have been 00:09:20.549 --> 00:09:24.529 recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists 00:09:24.529 --> 00:09:28.230 to test predictions of general relativity. The 00:09:28.230 --> 00:09:30.990 loudest collision ever recorded has allowed scientists 00:09:30.990 --> 00:09:34.009 to confirm that Einstein's theory is correct. 00:09:35.129 --> 00:09:38.690 In 2025, an international collaboration detected 00:09:38.690 --> 00:09:42.679 a powerful ripple produced by this merger. The 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.179 detectors are more sensitive than when LIGO made 00:09:45.179 --> 00:09:50.120 its first detection in 2016. Researchers tested 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.960 Stephen Hawking's theorem and found it to be 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:57.659 correct with nearly 100 % confidence. Kief Mittman 00:09:57.659 --> 00:10:00.139 and colleagues further tested whether the merger 00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:02.700 conforms with Einstein's general relativity. 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.059 They found that the measured frequencies matched 00:10:06.059 --> 00:10:12.480 closely with Einstein's predictions. Entertainment 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.919 news. YouTube TV is introducing lower -priced 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.320 sports and news packages.
