While the World Health Organization has warned that no amount of alcohol is safe, the alcohol 99 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,000 market surged to $37 billion in 2023. 100 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Experts emphasize that alcohol is a known carcinogen, contributing to over 200 diseases, 101 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,480 including heart disease and dementia. 102 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,020 Despite long-held beliefs about potential health benefits, such as those associated 103 00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:33,920 with red wine, new research reveals that these claims often overlook important lifestyle 104 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,780 factors. 105 00:08:35,780 --> 00:08:41,560 As public awareness grows, the challenge remains to change cultural perceptions and behaviors 106 00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:45,400 towards alcohol consumption. 107 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:51,820 In business news, in the latest rankings from Bloomberg Business Week, Stanford University 108 00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:57,640 retains its top position among United States business schools, marking five consecutive 109 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,840 years at the forefront. 110 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:05,720 Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business surged to ninth place, while North 111 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,560 Western University's Kellogg School of Management climbed to third. 112 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:16,040 However, Columbia Business School dropped from fifth to seventeenth, primarily due to 113 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,320 lower reported starting salaries. 114 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,520 As business schools face high turnover among administrators and adapt to the rising influence 115 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:30,760 of artificial intelligence, deans are focusing on innovative programs and real-world connections 116 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,720 to meet evolving student needs and market demands. 117 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:41,160 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $69,100. 118 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,020 Ethereum is just over $2,700. 119 00:09:45,020 --> 00:09:49,800 And Solana is $169. 120 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:56,920 Moving on to a more local

debate, a California couple, Vakos Choudhury and Riddhi Sani, disagree 132 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:49,480 on how polite one should be with chat GPT. 133 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:57,640 Choudhury, a startup founder, expresses gratitude to the chatbot, calling it a rock star. 134 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:04,000 In contrast, Sani views their interactions as purely transactional. 135 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,640 As chatbots become more conversational, users face an ethical dilemma. 136 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:16,560 A survey revealed that about 48% of Americans believe in being polite to artificial intelligence, 137 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:20,000 while others argue it is inefficient. 138 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,280 Research suggests that politeness can lead to better responses from AI, prompting conversations 139 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,200 about etiquette in our digital interactions. 140 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:37,520 And in entertainment news, religious movies are making significant waves in Hollywood, 141 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,680 attracting rich investors eager to put millions into faith-based projects. 142 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:50,320 One such project, House of David, is set to premiere in early 2025, showcasing the tale 143 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,600 of David vs. Goliath in a grand television spectacle. 144 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,640 Christian filmmaker John Irwin leads this movement, aiming to create uplifting stories 145 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,920 for families. 146 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:08,760 With successes like The Chosen and Sound of Freedom, the industry is shifting, appealing 147 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,600 to a broader audience. 148 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:17,600 Investors are now backing studios like The Wonder Project, which aspires to produce high-quality, 149 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,240 values-driven content for mainstream viewers. 150 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:27,040 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 151 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,840 And today, our quote comes from the entrepreneur and businessman, Elon Musk. 152 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:40,280 And he said, when something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your 153 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,640 favor. 154 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,300 And that's a wrap for this morning. 155 00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:51,520 You
