Ski and Snowboard is attempting to take 00:06:40.089 --> 00:06:43.329 control, but many surfers are resisting this 00:06:43.329 --> 00:06:47.610 move. Sophie Goldschmidt, the head of U .S. Ski 00:06:47.610 --> 00:06:50.209 and Snowboard, believes surfing aligns with their 00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:54.250 mission to support elite athletes. However, former 00:06:54.250 --> 00:06:57.290 champion surfer Ian Karens argues they are trying 00:06:57.290 --> 00:06:59.970 to ski -jack surfing from its rightful community. 00:07:01.129 --> 00:07:04.750 USA Surfing, the current governing body, is fighting 00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:07.930 back, citing recent investments and support from 00:07:07.930 --> 00:07:11.850 local leaders.

This decision would effectively reverse 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.040 much of the work from the notorious merger of 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.420 Kraft and Heinz in 2015, orchestrated by Warren 00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:41.019 Buffett and Brazilian private equity firm 3G 00:07:41.019 --> 00:07:44.540 Capital Partners.

The Wall Street Journal reported that 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.579 Kraft plans to spin off a substantial portion 00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:56.430 of its grocery business, potentially valued at 00:07:56.430 --> 00:08:00.509 as much as $20 billion. The split would occur 00:08:00.509 --> 00:08:03.069 amid a trend of corporate breakups in the food 00:08:03.069 --> 00:08:07.629 and beverage industry.

Critics 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.700 argue that Trump family's involvement represents 00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:06.100 profound conflicts of interest. And in entertainment 00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:10.559 news, Alan Richson, known for Reacher, is making 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.440 waves with his super unique film Motor City, 00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:17.659 which premieres in Venice on August 30th.

And he said, 00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:15.259 We are an impossibility in an impossible universe, 00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:18.460 highlighting the power of creativity and storytelling 00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:21.519 to transcend boundaries and inspire progress. 00:11:23.419 --> 00:11:26.639 And that's a wrap for this morning.
