Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act, 5 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,240 establishing a permanent national old age pension system through employer and employee 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,480 contributions. 7 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,280 This landmark legislation marked a significant step towards providing financial security 8 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,360 for retired Americans, and it laid the foundation for the modern welfare state, ensuring that 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,000 older citizens receive support in their later years. 10 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000 So now you know. 11 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,200 And now, it's time for the weather report. 12 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,080 It looks like we're in for a partly sunny day, with temperatures reaching the low 80s 13 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,080 and a light breeze from the northeast. 14 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,440 There is a 30 percent chance of rain showers after 1 p.m. 15 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:11,400

reads 65 degrees for the water temperature. 20 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Looking ahead in the weather. 21 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,840 Starting Friday, expect mostly sunny skies with highs in the low 80s, cooling to the 22 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,400 upper 60s at night. 23 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,680 From Saturday through Tuesday, look for partly sunny days and mostly cloudy nights, with 24 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,120 a chance of rain showers and thunderstorms increasing each day. 25 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,360 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 26 00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,040 This

sandwich 35 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,760 in Massachusetts. 36 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,520 While many staple spots offer this delicious sandwich, only one place is known for serving 37 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,360 it best. 38 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,040 According to a list compiled by Far and Wide, the best sandwich in all of Massachusetts 39 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,080 is served at Cuddies in Brookline Village. 40 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,520 The spucky sandwich was praised for its traditional ingredients and delicious vegetarian alternative. 41 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:13,400 Boston's Nevo Cucina and Anoteca was also mentioned among the best of the best. 42 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,400 Now on to sports. 43 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Yankees' third baseman, Jazz Chisholm, is likely headed for the injured list due to 44 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,920 a left-owner collateral injury. 45 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:29,680 Manager Aaron Boone announced the team has not ruled out surgery, but the full extent 46 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,760 of the injury will be known after doctors review his MRI results. 47 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,960 Chisholm, optimistic yet sore, expressed some concern. 48 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,320 Since joining from the Miami Marlins, he has been a standout performer. 49 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:52,000 With Chisholm out, Boone plans to use Oswaldo Cabrera and DJ LaMejia at third base. 50 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,720 Potential call-ups include Jimmy Jones, Oswald Peraza, and Caleb Durbin. 51 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,820 In local sports, the Red Sox at home beat the Rangers 9-4. 52 00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:07,360 And tonight. 53 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,080 The Sox will play the final game of the series with the Rangers. 54 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,440 The first pitch is earlier than usual at 6-10. 55 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:23,240 In top news, a storm of controversy is swirling over dairy consumption. 56 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,380 While multiple servings of milk, cheese, or yogurt have been a staple of American nutrition 57 00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:34,960 advice, a growing number of researchers and doctors suggest reducing dairy intake or even 58 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,880 eliminating it. 59 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,840 The U.S. government, which recommends three servings of dairy daily, is re-evaluating 60 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:44,000 its guidelines. 61 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,840 Some studies link dairy-rich diets to cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, while others 62 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:56,200 suggest benefits like lower risks of some cancers and type 2 diabetes. 63 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:04,240 Experts recommend moderation, with one serving of dairy daily being sufficient for most adults. 64 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,560 In business news, the United Auto Workers, one of the country's largest unions, has 65 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,640 filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon 66 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,400 Musk. 67 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,060 The union alleges that both men attempted to intimidate workers during a conversation 68 00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:26,560 on Musk's social media platform. 69 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,100 The charges highlight Trump's comments about handling striking workers, suggesting they 70 00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:33,000 could be fired. 71 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,160 The United Auto Workers claims these remarks threaten workers' rights. 72 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:44,240 Musk, known for opposing unions, posted inaccurate statements about United Auto Workers' leaders 73 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,560 on X. 74 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,760 The union has endorsed Kamala Harris and aims to counter Trump's appeal to working-class 75 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,480 voters. 76 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:59,240 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $61,000.

Templeton, made an extraordinary discovery while wading through 91 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,640 a rural creek in Madison County. 92 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Templeton, an avid fossil hunter, found a fully intact, seven-foot-long mammoth tusk, 93 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,880 likely from the last ice age. 94 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,740 According to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this tusk, belonging 95 00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:26,400 to a Colombian mammoth, is a rare find in Mississippi. 96 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,980 The tusk was carefully excavated and transported to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science 97 00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:34,960 for preservation and study. 98 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,200 This discovery provides a unique glimpse into the region's prehistoric past, highlighting 99 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,440 the rich geological history of Mississippi. 100 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:49,000 And in entertainment news. 101 00:07:49,000

take down the media outfit for 103 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,560 posting excerpts from a Hulk Hogan sex tape. 104 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:10,720 The film is based on a book detailing the 2016 court case, where Hogan won a $140 million 105 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:17,120 dollar judgment against a Gawker editor, founder Nick Denton, and Gawker itself. 106 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,200 Nick is rumored to play the famed wrestler, though no casting has been announced yet. 107 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,960 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 108 00:08:27,960 -->
