If you reside in Massachusetts 00:03:19.469 --> 00:03:22.830 and have summer travel plans, this could complicate 00:03:22.830 --> 00:03:26.729 things. Mark Shieldrop from AAA Northeast noted, 00:03:27.270 --> 00:03:29.610 there's a little bit of a panic out there, but 00:03:29.610 --> 00:03:33.870 reassured that many can afford to wait.

Despite 00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:46.980 an early lead with Brightman doubling in the 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:50.180 first to bring in two runs, the Blue Jays rallied. 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.459 Varsha's solo homer in the seventh and Guerrero's 00:04:54.459 --> 00:04:57.560 decisive three -run blast in the eighth sealed 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:03.079 the Sox's fate. Slayton took the loss. The Sox 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.660 now stand at 17 -6, struggling to regain momentum. 00:05:07.790 --> 00:05:10.529 Tonight, if Border Patrol lets them back in, 00:05:10.670 --> 00:05:13.829 the Sox face the Twins at Fenway for Game 1 of 00:05:13.829 --> 00:05:19.370 a 3 -game series.

Chief Executive Officer Chris 00:05:54.629 --> 00:05:57.610 Kempchinsky noted that lower - and middle -income 00:05:57.610 --> 00:06:00.829 customers are tightening their budgets amid economic 00:06:00.829 --> 00:06:05.180 uncertainty. McDonald's is not alone. as other 00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:09.759 fast -food giants like KFC, Pizza Hut, and Domino's 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.199 also experience declines. Despite this, McDonald's 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.220 hopes for a boost in sales from a partnership 00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:18.860 with a Minecraft movie in the second quarter 00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:21.720 and the anticipated return of the snack wrap 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:28.000 later this year. In business news, Spotify has 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.800 submitted an app update to Apple. adding an external 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.139 link for subscription purchases in the United 00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:38.060 States. This move follows a U .S. judge's ruling 00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:41.480 that Apple violated in order to allow more competition 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.920 for app downloads. Spotify expressed in a letter 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.220 to Apple that it finds it absurd that these basic 00:06:49.220 --> 00:06:52.819 services were not delivered sooner. The ruling 00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:55.800 issued by U .S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.939 -Rogers. stated that Apple failed to comply with 00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:01.379 a prior injunction from an antitrust lawsuit 00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:06.699 by Fortnite maker Epic Games. Apple has stated 00:07:06.699 --> 00:07:09.759 it strongly disagrees with the decision but will 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.759 comply while planning to appeal. In crypto movement, 00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:18.220 Bitcoin is up 3 % for the week to just under 00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:24.480 $97 ,000.

And 00:08:16.269 --> 00:08:21.970 now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. In more 00:08:21.970 --> 00:08:25.660 Apple news, Judge Avon Gonzalez -Rogers stated 00:08:25.660 --> 00:08:28.920 that Apple executive Alex Roman outright lied 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.059 under oath during the Epic trial. The judge described 00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:36.259 Roman's testimony as replete with misdirection 00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:40.399 and outright lies. She highlighted that Roman 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:44.100 claimed Apple had not set its 27 % commission 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:47.519 fee for purchases outside the App Store until 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:53.139 January 16, 2024. However, contemporaneous business 00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:55.840 documents indicated that the fee was determined 00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:01.919 in July 2023. Gonzalez -Rogers is now referring 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.860 the case to a United States attorney for potential 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:08.100 criminal contempt proceedings against Apple and 00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:11.799 Roman. She emphasized that Apple's actions were 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.700 intended to create new anti -competitive barriers. 00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:21.919 And in entertainment news. In Havoc, directed 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.059 by Gareth Evans, Tom Hardy portrays a cop named 00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:29.700 Walker seeking redemption in a corrupt city reminiscent 00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:33.620 of a gritty Gotham. The film's title suggests 00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:38.340 chaos, but it delivers confusion instead. Walker, 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.059 a heart of a corrupt gang of narcotics officers, 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.399 finds himself entangled in a convoluted conspiracy 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.120 while trying to protect the son of a mayoral 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.649 candidate. Despite some thrilling action sequences, 00:09:51.070 --> 00:09:53.769 like a chaotic nightclub scene, the screenplay 00:09:53.769 --> 00:09:56.549 falters with shallow characters and lackluster 00:09:56.549 --> 00:10:00.789 dialogue. Ultimately, Evans' directorial strengths 00:10:00.789 --> 00:10:04.210 in action do not compensate for the film's weak 00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:08.850 narrative and character development. Well, alrighty 00:10:08.850 --> 00:10:12.909 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:10:12.909 --> 00:10:15.649 today, our quote comes from the American politician 00:10:15.649 --> 00:10:21.120 and 35th president, John F. Kennedy. And he said, 00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.720 As we express our gratitude, we must never forget 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.519 that the highest appreciation is not to utter 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:34.299 words, but to live by them. And that's a wrap 00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:37.360 for this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.419 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:10:41.419 --> 00:10:44.519 videos with local news and the weather reports. 00:10:45.710 --> 00:10:48.669 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
