The New England Patriots may 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.439 have a unique trade opportunity that could transform 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.250 their defensive rebuild. With the New York Giants 00:05:11.250 --> 00:05:13.870 struggling at two wins, they might be open to 00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:16.589 trading their star player, Kayvon Thibodeau. 00:05:17.790 --> 00:05:20.350 The Patriots boast a strong defense, ranking 00:05:20.350 --> 00:05:23.649 in the top ten for points allowed per game, with 00:05:23.649 --> 00:05:26.509 impressive run defense thanks to recent additions. 00:05:27.629 --> 00:05:30.230 However, they have struggle against passing attacks, 00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:33.370 prompting the need for an effective edge rusher. 00:05:34.389 --> 00:05:36.870 Acquiring Thibodeau could enhance their defensive 00:05:36.870 --> 00:05:39.730 unit. especially if they can offer players like 00:05:39.730 --> 00:05:44.310 Kian White or draft picks in return. On Sunday, 00:05:44.430 --> 00:05:48.310 we got our 4 -2 Pats in Tennessee facing the 00:05:48.310 --> 00:05:53.550 1 -5 Titans.

And now, back to the show. 00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:54.480 Let's talk science. Scientists have finally corrected 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.559 a fatal flaw in an unlimited power source. sparking 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.220 an energy revolution. Researchers in the United 00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:05.080 Kingdom exploited a weakness in current energy 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.539 technology to create more electricity. Traditional 00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:12.519 solar power technology falters during heat waves, 00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:16.539 losing 10 to 25 percent of potential electricity. 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.700 The new method alters photovoltaic cells to store 00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:23.720 excess heat as chemical energy, which can later 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.919 be converted into electricity. If widely adopted, 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.980 these photo -electrochemical solar panels could 00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:34.039 significantly contribute to sustainable power. 00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:37.860 This innovative approach showcases that even 00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:40.360 heat waves could be harnessed to power the green 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:46.220 energy revolution. And in entertainment news, 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.779 Eddie Q. hints at Apple's next sports deal, stating, 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:55.750 we do love F1. As Apple reportedly approaches 00:09:55.750 --> 00:10:00.190 a yearly deal worth $140 million for the United 00:10:00.190 --> 00:10:03.149 States' rights of Formula One, Hugh has been 00:10:03.149 --> 00:10:07.129 discussing Apple TV and sports streaming. During 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:10.470 a recent panel, Hugh criticized the current streaming 00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:13.970 landscape, suggesting more bundling is needed. 00:10:15.070 --> 00:10:17.830 He also noted that streaming technology could 00:10:17.830 --> 00:10:21.659 unlock new opportunities. When discussing Formula 00:10:21.659 --> 00:10:24.480 One, Q pointed out that the related movie is 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.919 the highest -grossing sports film of all time. 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.360 Apple is close to announcing its Formula One 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.299 streaming package, potentially this weekend at 00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:38.840 the U .S. Grand Prix in Austin. Well, alrighty 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.879 folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.820 today, our quote comes from the American inventor 00:10:45.820 --> 00:10:50.600 and futurist, R. Buckminster Fuller. And he said, 00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:53.700 we are called to be architects of the future, 00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:58.679 not its victims. And that's a wrap for this morning. 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.480 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.220 TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with 00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:10.320 local news and the weather reports.
