00:03:52,360 yards and one touchdown so far. 47 00:03:52,360 --> 00:04:00,040 New York, led by Aaron Rodgers, will look to continue their strong start after his 462-yard, 48 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,360 four-touchdown performance. 49 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,240 The Jets are favored with a 67% win probability. 50 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,800 The Patriots defense will need to contain Breezehall, who has 201 rushing yards this 51 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,920 season as they aim to pull off the upset. 52 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,100 Kickoff is set for 8.15 Eastern. 53 00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:23,480 In local sports. 54 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,800 Last night, the Red Sox edged out the race 2-1 in a tight game at Tropicana Field. 55 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,080 Trevor Story homered in the sixth inning to tie the game and later scored the winning 56 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,720 run on Jaron Duran's single in the eighth. 57 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,680 Boston's pitching staff was stellar, with Tanner Hawk, Garrett Whitlock, Chris Martin 58 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,640 and Kenley Jansen combining to allow just one run on eight hits. 59 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,120 Jansen locked down his 27th save of the season, securing the win. 60 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,000 Tonight, the Sox will look to clinch the series against the Rays. 61 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,200 Ryan Baio takes the mound for Boston, while Tampa Bay counters with Zach Liddell. 62 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,560 With the series tied at 1-1, both teams are fighting for postseason positioning as the 63 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,680 season wins down. 64 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,400 First pitch is at 6.50. 65 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,840 In top news, the Federal Reserve has made its first interest rate cut in four years, 66 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:28,360 signaling a shift in its long-standing policy of rate hikes. 67 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,200 Chief economist Joe Bruseula stated, this will improve the material well-being of all 68 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,280 Americans. 69 00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:41,480 The Fed lowered rates by a half percentage point, which will impact hiring, inflation, 70 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,640 the housing market, stocks and borrowing costs. 71 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Michael Matowicz, principal economist at the Roosevelt Institute, emphasized that this 72 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,480 rate cut is great news for the middle class, indicating a recovery towards sustainable 73 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,840 economic growth and increased job creation opportunities. 74 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:10,320 In business news, in a significant move, Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, 75 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,800 announced on Wednesday that the company has increased its convertible senior notes offering 76 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,520 from $700 million to $875 million. 77 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,600 This funding will enable MicroStrategy to acquire even more Bitcoin. 78 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,620 However, the announcement had an immediate impact on the market, with the stock price 79 00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:36,400 of MicroStrategy dipping over 1% in response. 80 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,880 As the company continues its aggressive strategy in the cryptocurrency space, investors are 81 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,180 closely monitoring these developments. 82 00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:51,080 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $62,000. 83 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,760 Ethereum is

00:07:47,840 And now back to the show. 95 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,240 Let's talk tech. 96 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:56,000 TCL is facing serious allegations this month after tests on three of its televisions, marketed 97 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:03,240 as quantum dot TBs, reportedly showed no evidence of actual quantum dots. 98 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,720 Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor particles that emit various colors of light when exposed 99 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,360 to specific frequencies. 100 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,120 They enhance the color range on premium televisions and monitors. 101 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:22,360 If TCL is found to be misrepresenting standard televisions as quantum dot models, it could 102 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:28,600 lead to significant scandals, erode consumer trust, and prompt legal consequences. 103 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:35,440 However, conflicting test results and skepticism about TCL's ability to execute such a scam 104 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,720 raise questions about the validity of these accusations. 105 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,720 And in entertainment news. 106 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,720 Hence about a sequel to Constantine have been circulating for years, although it was not 107 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:55,080 a top priority due to Keanu Reeves' commitments to other projects. 108 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:02,840 The film, released in 2005, became a cult favorite, sparking genuine interest in a follow-up. 109 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,880 Peter Francis Lawrence showed interest in 2011, while Peter Stormare seemingly confirmed 110 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,600 it in 2020. 111 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,480 By 2021, Reeves indicated he had tried to progress the project. 112 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:24,000 Finally, in 2022, Warner Bros. confirmed the sequel is underway, with Reeves and Lawrence 113 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,760 returning. 114 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,240 More details are eagerly anticipated. 115 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,400 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 116 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:41,640 And today, our quote comes from the American novelist and journalist, Ernest Hemingway. 117 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,400 And he said, 118 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,360 What man is not made for defeat? 119 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,280 A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. 120 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,840 And that's a wrap for this morning. 121 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:59,640 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 122 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,120 with local news and the weather reports. 123 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,240 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 124 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:25,240 We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
