uncertain. 40 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,040 Now on to sports. 41 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,240 Last night, the Buffalo Bills dominated the Miami Dolphins, winning 31 to 10. 42 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:20,320 James Cook scored three touchdowns for Buffalo, while Tua Tagovailoa left the game with a 43 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,360 concussion. 44 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,040 Buffalo now leads

00:03:49,960 while Patrick Mahomes, fresh off a two-touch-jump performance in week one, aims to lead the 49 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,840 Chiefs to their first win of the season. 50 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,520 Kansas City is favored, and with Mahomes' playmaking ability and home field advantage, 51 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,040 they'll be tough to beat. 52 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,280 This high-energy contest has playoff implications, and key matchups include Jumeir Chase against 53 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,680 Kansas City's secondary and Burrow verse the Chiefs' pass rush. 54 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,920 For Sunday night football, the Chicago Bears take on the Houston Texans. 55 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,680 Chicago is looking to bounce back after their season opening loss to the Bills, while the 56 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,320 Texans, off to a strong start, aim to continue their momentum. 57 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,480 In local sports. 58 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:38,000 The Red Sox lost a tough one last night to the Yankees, 2-1 in 10 innings. 59 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Josh Winkowski took the loss in relief, and the offense struggled with just one RBI from 60 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,600 Tyler O'Neal. 61 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,800 Tonight, the Red Sox look to even the series at Yankee Stadium with Tanner Hoxt starting 62 00:04:51,800 -->

Patriots are currently 3-1⁄2 point underdogs with 69 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,240 an over-under of 42. 70 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,880 New England will look to continue its momentum, while Seattle, led by Jano Smith, comes in 71 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,600 at 1-0, making this a key early season test for both teams. 72 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,800 In top news, a fourth ape has died from a Shigella infection at the Jacksonville Zoo 73 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,640 and Gardens, according to a recent announcement on Facebook. 74 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:58,880 Kevin, a three-year-old Western lowland gorilla, succumbed to the illness despite showing signs 75 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,400 of recovery at times. 76 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,040 The zoo reported that three other apes, including another lowland gorilla and two brother bonobo 77 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,120 monkeys, had previously died from the outbreak. 78 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,160 The zoo is focused on addressing the needs of the apes and is experiencing significant 79 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,040 progress in treatment. 80 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:26,600 However, Shigella is highly infectious, and recovery may take time to fully resolve. 81 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:33,400 In business news, Petco Health and Wellness has seen an impressive stock surge, rising 82 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:39,820 33% on Wednesday, followed by an 11% increase on Thursday. 83 00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:45,840 This jump comes amid buzz from a fan-operated Reddit account linked to Keith Patrick Gill, 84 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:52,640 known as Roaring Kitty, although there is no indication that Gill has invested in Petco. 85 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,520 Despite reporting week's second quarter results, Petco has a new CDO, Joel Anderson, who aims 86 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,780 to improve profitability. 87 00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:06,240 Investors are urged to focus on the company's fundamentals rather than the whims of social 88 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,680 media, as the numbers still show challenges ahead. 89 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:17,200 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $57,900. 90 00:07:17,200

special titled, Hey I and the Future of 104 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:29,280 Us, featuring guests such as Open AI CDO Sam Altman and current FBI director Christopher 105 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,640 Wray. 106 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,720 The discussion was marked by a tone of skepticism. 107 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,360 Oprah expressed concern that AI is still beyond our control, emphasizing the need for caution 108 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,240 as humanity adapts to this technology. 109 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,800 Altman discussed the importance of safety testing AI systems, but faced criticism for 110 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,320 overstating their capabilities. 111 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:59,480 Meanwhile, Wray highlighted rising issues like AI-driven sex torsion and disinformation, 112 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,680 urging Americans to remain vigilant. 113 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:08,760 Bill Gates provided a contrasting perspective, optimistic about AI's potential in education 114 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,760 and medicine. 115 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:20,440 And in entertainment news, Francis Ford Coppola is taking legal action against Variety magazine, 116 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,400 seeking $15 million for libel. 117 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:30,020 This lawsuit stems from claims in a July 26 article that suggested Coppola acted with 118 00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:34,480 impunity on a set of his film Megalopolis. 119 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,200 The article included videos that allegedly showed the director attempting to kiss young 120 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,520 female extras. 121 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,240 Coppola's suit asserts that the sources for these claims were unreliable, as they signed 122 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,780 a non-disclosure agreement. 123 00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:54,420 He emphasizes his respect for all involved in the film and condemns the use of surreptitious 124 00:09:54,420 --> 00:09:56,880 video for financial gain. 125 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,480 Meanwhile, an extra from the film has also filed a lawsuit against Coppola for sibil 126 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,480 battery in assault. 127 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:10,120 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 128 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,160 And today, our quote comes from the American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor 129 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,120 Company, Henry Ford. 130 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,120 And he said, 131 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,600 When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off 132 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,280 against the wind, not with it. 133 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,840 And that's a wrap for this morning. 134 00:10:30,840 -->
