Eighty years ago today, in 1945, delegates 00:00:19.030 --> 00:00:22.230 from 50 nations gathered in San Francisco, California, 00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:25.910 to sign the United Nations Charter, establishing 00:00:25.910 --> 00:00:28.629 the world's most important international organization. 00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:32.679 This monumental event marked a commitment to 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.679 fostering global peace, security, and cooperation, 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.280 aiming to prevent future conflicts and promote 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.359 human rights worldwide. The United Nations has 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.079 since played a pivotal role in addressing international 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.700 challenges, reflecting humanity's enduring aspiration 00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:54.460 for a harmonious and just world.

So stop 00:03:16.740 --> 00:03:20.039 on by and don't forget to tell them. Sunny Morning 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:26.180 sends you. In local news, the Boston mayoral 00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:28.740 race is heating up with incumbent Democratic 00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:32.740 Mayor Michelle Wu facing off against philanthropist 00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:36.879 Josh Kraft. As Election Day approaches, three 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.520 major issues dominate the campaign landscape. 00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:43.780 First, affordable housing remains a pressing 00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:47.800 concern, with a median home price reaching $845 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.879 ,000. Both candidates support some form of rent 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.180 stabilization. Second, public safety is a key 00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:01.699 focus, especially in downtown areas. Lastly, 00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:04.840 the redevelopment of White Stadium has sparked 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.639 debate over costs and community impact. With 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.280 significant campaign funding pouring in, the 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:19.459 race is poised to intensify. Now on to sports. 00:04:20.899 --> 00:04:23.860 Justin Herbert, the highly paid quarterback for 00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:26.639 the Los Angeles Chargers, is set to lose over 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.639 $28 million of his salary to taxes. While his 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.839 average annual salary of $52 .5 million seems 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.319 impressive, California's heavy tax burden will 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.139 cut that figure significantly. In fact, Herbert 00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:45.899 may take home less than half of his salary after 00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:49.740 taxes. This staggering tax bill exceeds what 00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:51.800 the Chargers pay some of their other players, 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.399 highlighting the financial challenges athletes 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.699 face in states with high income taxes. Despite 00:04:58.699 --> 00:05:01.759 this, the appeal of living in Los Angeles and 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.360 playing for a respected coach remains strong. 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.800 In local sports. Yesterday afternoon in Anaheim, 00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:14.920 the Sox were defeated by the Angels 5 -2. Despite 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.060 an early two -run single from Story, the Sox 00:05:18.060 --> 00:05:21.620 couldn't maintain the momentum. Guerrero suffered 00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:24.740 the loss, allowing four runs in less than one 00:05:24.740 --> 00:05:28.199 inning. The Angels' Adele and Darna had each 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.220 homered, fueling the victory, while Kikuchi's 00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:34.959 season -high 12 strikeouts in seven innings sealed 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.610 the win. Now at 40 -42, the Sox are looking to 00:05:39.610 --> 00:05:42.329 rebound as they host the Blue Jays in Boston 00:05:42.329 --> 00:05:45.490 tomorrow night for Game 1 of a three -game series. 00:05:46.430 --> 00:05:51.050 Ryan Baio, with a 3 .31 earned run average, takes 00:05:51.050 --> 00:05:56.350 on Jose Barrios, who posts the 3 .51. First pitch 00:05:56.350 --> 00:06:00.209 is at 7 -10, with temperatures around 67 degrees 00:06:00.209 --> 00:06:06.420 at Fenway. In top news. Is food really better 00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:10.000 in Europe? Many Americans believe their food 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.300 is unhealthy, often feeling bloated and tired 00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:17.339 after consuming wheat and dairy. Influencers 00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:20.920 including Joe Rogan and Gwyneth Paltrow have 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.360 noted they can enjoy these foods in Europe without 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.920 discomfort. Claims suggest that American food 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.019 contains around 10 ,000 chemicals compared to 00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:34.279 Europe's 400. However, experts argue that many 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.740 of these fears are unfounded. Issues like food 00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:40.279 safety regulations and ingredient differences 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.839 exist. But the notion that banning specific chemicals 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.560 will lead to better health overlooks deeper systemic 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.459 problems, including lifestyle and healthcare 00:06:49.459 --> 00:06:55.699 access. In business news, Mumble is set to lay 00:06:55.699 --> 00:06:59.079 off approximately 30 % of its workforce. which 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:03.699 equates to around 240 employees. This decision 00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:06.300 aims to realign the company's operating structure 00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:09.259 and enhance its focus on strategic priorities. 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.920 Chief Executive Whitney Wolf Hurd stated, We 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.379 need to take decisive action to restructure to 00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:19.000 build a company that's resilient, intentional, 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.170 and ready for the next decade. Following this 00:07:23.170 --> 00:07:25.649 announcement, Bumble raised its second quarter 00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:31.410 revenue outlook to between $244 million and $249 00:07:31.410 --> 00:07:35.089 million. The company also anticipates significant 00:07:35.089 --> 00:07:38.029 annual cost savings from this workforce reduction. 00:07:38.889 --> 00:07:44.089 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 1 % to about 00:07:44.089 --> 00:07:50.470 $108 ,000.

And 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:48.279 now, back to the show. Let's talk science. Scientists 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.000 have uncovered a remarkable genetic lineage of 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.840 ancient hunter -gatherers in Colombia, which 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:58.200 appears to have no modern descendants. This previously 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.700 undocumented group vanished approximately 2 ,000 00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:05.259 years ago. Archaeologists remarked that this 00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:08.700 discovery was unexpected as it challenges previous 00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:12.860 beliefs about South American ancestry. Researchers 00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:16.659 analyzed DNA from 21 individuals at archaeological 00:09:16.659 --> 00:09:20.059 sites, revealing that seven belonged to this 00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:24.700 mysterious population. By 2 ,000 years ago, local 00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:27.399 genetics were replaced by Central American populations, 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.620 raising intriguing questions about the origins 00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:33.919 and disappearance of the Chequia people, as highlighted 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:40.860 by the study. And in entertainment news… The 00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:43.960 first new James Bond in the Amazon era will debut 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.940 in 2026, starring in 007 First Light, developed 00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:53.500 by IO Interactive. This version of Bond is described 00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:57.779 as young, brash, and possessing a robust origin 00:09:57.779 --> 00:10:02.139 story, along with a mysterious scar. This marks 00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:04.879 the first original Bond since Daniel Craig's 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:09.200 Casino Royale in 2006. and the first major Bond 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:14.840 video game in 15 years. IO Interactive's CDO, 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.360 Hakan Aybrak, emphasizes the pressure to honor 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.559 the franchise's legacy while introducing a Bond 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.659 that balances humor and optimism as he navigates 00:10:25.659 --> 00:10:29.759 the world of espionage. Well, alrighty folks, 00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:33.899 it's time for the quote of the day. And today, 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.149 our quote comes from the American diplomat and 00:10:37.149 --> 00:10:41.009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ralph Bunche. And 00:10:41.009 --> 00:10:45.350 he said, to make peace, you must be an uncompromising 00:10:45.350 --> 00:10:48.429 leader. You must be willing to fight for peace 00:10:48.429 --> 00:10:53.529 as fiercely as others fight for war. And that's 00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:56.549 a wrap for this morning.
