This event sparked widespread interest 00:00:25.370 --> 00:00:28.789 and became a cornerstone of modern UFO lore. 00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:32.570 The Roswell incident has since inspired countless 00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:35.850 discussions, investigations, and cultural works, 00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:39.310 fueling humanity's fascination with the possibility 00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:42.630 of extraterrestrial life and the mysteries of 00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:47.929 the universe.

In local 00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:47.250 news. Will Massachusetts' happy hour ban be lifted 00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:52.169 soon? On July 7th, Senator Julian Sir pitched 00:02:52.169 --> 00:02:55.930 to repeal the ban, emphasizing the need for cold 00:02:55.930 --> 00:02:58.830 beer promotions to help small businesses thrive. 00:02:59.490 --> 00:03:03.729 Happy hour has been banned since 1984 to curb 00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:07.590 drunk driving. Sears legislation would allow 00:03:07.590 --> 00:03:10.669 cities to offer promotions, but it has repeatedly 00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:14.300 failed in the legislature. The Massachusetts 00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:17.419 Restaurant Association opposes changes, citing 00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:20.319 concerns over competition and financial stability. 00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:24.639 Sir argues that happy hour could enhance profits, 00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:27.539 especially for businesses struggling in a post 00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:31.300 -pandemic world. The debate continues as both 00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:39.139 sides present their cases. Now on to sports. 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.900 The 2025 MLB All -Star Game roster announcement 00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:48.580 sparked debate, particularly over eight notable 00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:52.919 snubs. Among them is Juan Soto from the New York 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.319 Mets, who, despite a slow start, has surged with 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.419 impressive numbers. Seiya Suzuki from the Chicago 00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:04.219 Cubs leads the majors with 77 runs batted in, 00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:07.439 while teammate Michael Bush boasts an outstanding 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:12.139 slash line. Tria Turner of the Philadelphia Phillies 00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:15.300 and George Springer from the Toronto Blue Jays 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:19.540 are also deserving. Junior Caminero of the Rays 00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:22.779 and Randy Orozarena from the Seattle Mariners 00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:25.819 both showcased their talents yet missed the cut. 00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:30.300 Lastly, Christopher Sanchez, a standout pitcher 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:33.379 for the Phillies, was overlooked, raising eyebrows 00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:37.800 among fans and analysts alike. In local sports. 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.980 Last night at Fenway Park, the Sox triumphed 00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:45.779 over the Rockies 9 -3. Boston's bats were on 00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:49.240 fire, with homers from Anthony, Rafaela, and 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.220 Gonzalez. Fitz secured the win while Gombert 00:04:53.220 --> 00:04:56.199 took the loss, allowing seven runs over four 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.040 and two -thirds innings. The Sox had 14 hits 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.740 and played error -free baseball, bringing their 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:08.079 record to 47 -45. Tonight, the Sox face the Rockies 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.160 at Fenway for Game 2 of this three -game series. 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.120 Brian Baio, with a 3 .42 earned run average, 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:21.699 takes on Kyle Freeland, who has a 5 .49. First 00:05:21.699 --> 00:05:24.620 pitch is at 7 -10 with perfect conditions at 00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:31.300 81 degrees. In top news, as millions of Americans 00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:34.620 enjoyed Independence Day, researchers have delivered 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:38.779 some staggering news. Hot dogs may be dangerous. 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.600 A survey published in Nature Medicine reviewed 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.800 over 60 nutrition studies, revealing that there 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.759 is no safe amount of processed food, including 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.620 cured meats, sugary drinks, and trans fatty acids. 00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:56.620 The findings linked these foods to chronic diseases, 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.360 such as type 2 diabetes and colon cancer. For 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.620 instance, eating just one hot dog daily increases 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:09.360 the risk of type 2 diabetes by 11%. While this 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.439 research is compelling, changing America's hot 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:17.540 dog habits may prove challenging. In business 00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:22.480 news, Amazon is transforming Prime Day into Prime 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.379 Week, extending this year's promotion to four 00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:28.540 days, hoping to attract more shoppers and new 00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:32.259 Prime members. This event starting Tuesday is 00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:35.720 projected to generate a record $12 .9 billion 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.060 in the United States, up 53 % from last year. 00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:43.620 While interest in Prime Day has declined over 00:06:43.620 --> 00:06:46.639 time, analysts suggest consumers are keen on 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.579 finding value amid rising tariff concerns. Sellers 00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:54.720 expect significant sales despite uncertainty 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.529 about demand. Additionally, Amazon will leverage 00:06:58.529 --> 00:07:01.550 this event to boost its advertising revenue and 00:07:01.550 --> 00:07:05.209 attract new Prime members.

And now, 00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:14.389 back to the show. Let's talk tech. A long -lost 00:08:14.389 --> 00:08:17.410 Chinese typewriter, the Ming Cui, discovered 00:08:17.410 --> 00:08:20.189 in a basement in upstate New York, has sparked 00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:22.730 excitement among scholars in the United States. 00:08:23.129 --> 00:08:29.029 Taiwan, and China. Patented in 1946, this typewriter 00:08:29.029 --> 00:08:31.949 was crucial in the development of modern Chinese 00:08:31.949 --> 00:08:36.490 computing. Invented by Lin Yutang, a prominent 00:08:36.490 --> 00:08:39.590 linguist, the typewriter ingeniously breaks down 00:08:39.590 --> 00:08:42.950 Chinese pictographs by shape, allowing it to 00:08:42.950 --> 00:08:46.730 suggest characters on a small screen. Stanford 00:08:46.730 --> 00:08:49.669 University recently acquired the restored prototype. 00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:53.940 This discovery symbolizes a bridge between cultures, 00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:56.779 reflecting Lin's vision of preserving Chinese 00:08:56.779 --> 00:09:03.220 identity within a modern framework. And in entertainment 00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:08.080 news, Jack Quaid has had a prolific year in 2025, 00:09:08.659 --> 00:09:11.879 starring in multiple films, including the action 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.070 comedy Heads of State. In it, Quaid plays Marty 00:09:16.070 --> 00:09:19.090 Comer, a station agent protecting a U .S. president 00:09:19.090 --> 00:09:21.929 and a U .K. prime minister from assassination 00:09:21.929 --> 00:09:26.210 attempts. He describes the experience as a dream 00:09:26.210 --> 00:09:29.169 come true, noting it ignited his passion for 00:09:29.169 --> 00:09:32.950 action roles. As he wraps up filming his iconic 00:09:32.950 --> 00:09:36.450 character, Huey Campbell and the boys, Quaid 00:09:36.450 --> 00:09:39.190 expresses mixed emotions about saying goodbye. 00:09:39.970 --> 00:09:43.190 He is proud of the show's finale. praising creator 00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:45.830 Eric Crick for his work with the source material. 00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:50.470 Heads of State is now streaming on Amazon Prime 00:09:50.470 --> 00:09:54.990 Video.

And he said, To invent, you need a good 00:10:07.269 --> 00:10:12.029 imagination and a pile of junk. And that's a 00:10:12.029 --> 00:10:15.009 wrap for this morning.
