The 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.299 procession and televised memorials created a 00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:36.159 shared public mourning that strengthened American 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.240 civic rituals and set a precedent for modern 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.439 presidential funerary honors. So now you know. 00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:50.719 And now it's time for the weather report.

In local 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.560 news, Massport has designated the owners of several 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.479 Boston marinas to take over an aging working 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.000 jetty in the seaport, according to the Boston 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.759 Globe. This decision is significant as it will 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.520 introduce a new use to one of the last empty 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.520 parcels on the South Boston waterfront. Boston 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.740 Marine Terminal Limited Liability Company, owned 00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:21.919 by Chuck and Anne Lagasse, will redevelop the 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.669 16 -acre North Jetty site at the Raymond L. Flynn 00:03:25.669 --> 00:03:29.550 Marine Park. The Lagasse family, who own several 00:03:29.550 --> 00:03:32.370 Boston Harbor marinas, will manage ship repair 00:03:32.370 --> 00:03:35.729 and freight operations while rebuilding the deteriorating 00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:39.789 1 ,000 -foot space. Massport will contribute 00:03:39.789 --> 00:03:42.729 $20 million in state money for these repairs, 00:03:43.110 --> 00:03:51.469 with the potential to add 400 jobs. Now onto 00:03:51.469 --> 00:03:57.030 sports. Christian McCaffrey gained 142 yards 00:03:57.030 --> 00:03:59.750 from scrimmage and scored a touchdown in his 00:03:59.750 --> 00:04:02.610 first game against Carolina since he was traded 00:04:02.610 --> 00:04:05.590 away three years ago, leading the San Francisco 00:04:05.590 --> 00:04:09.430 49ers to a 20 -9 victory over the Panthers on 00:04:09.430 --> 00:04:12.889 Monday night football. McCaffrey's big night 00:04:12.889 --> 00:04:16.430 helped the 49ers, with an overall record of eight 00:04:16.430 --> 00:04:20.089 wins and four losses, overcome three interceptions 00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:24.379 by Brock Purdy in the first half. Bryce Young 00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:27.300 and the Panthers, with a record of six wins and 00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:30.579 six losses, struggled to capitalize on opportunities. 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.220 Young completed 169 passing yards with one touchdown 00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:40.620 and one interception. The 49ers went conservative 00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:43.600 in the second half, relying mostly on McCaffrey 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:49.139 and short passes. In local sports, After avoiding 00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:52.120 the injury bug for most of the season, the Pats 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.519 faced serious losses in their weak 12 -win against 00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.300 the Bengals. Starting lineman Jared Wilson was 00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:03.019 carted off after the first drive, followed by 00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:05.540 rookie left tackle Will Campbell later in the 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:09.199 game. Fortunately, on Monday morning, updates 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.459 about their injuries brought some good news. 00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:15.699 Campbell suffered an MCL sprain that should only 00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:18.529 sideline him for a few weeks. Well, Wilson is 00:05:18.529 --> 00:05:21.170 expected to recover from a high ankle sprain 00:05:21.170 --> 00:05:25.069 in time for the playoff. This news is crucial 00:05:25.069 --> 00:05:30.370 for the Patriots' playoff hopes. In top news, 00:05:31.529 --> 00:05:33.910 scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer 00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:36.889 may have uncovered a promising lead in the DNA 00:05:36.889 --> 00:05:40.670 of the bowhead whale. The findings published 00:05:40.670 --> 00:05:43.319 in the journal Nature highlight how long -lived 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.379 animals like the bowhead manage to avoid cancer 00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:50.899 despite having more cells. Vera Gorbanova, a 00:05:50.899 --> 00:05:54.199 biologist at the University of Rochester, suggests 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.639 these animals have evolved additional protections 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.740 from cancer. The bowhead whale utilizes a protein 00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:04.079 that excels at repairing broken DNA, maintaining 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.199 healthy cells and preventing mutations, rather 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.769 than eliminating malignant ones. This research 00:06:10.769 --> 00:06:13.389 could ultimately benefit human health and provide 00:06:13.389 --> 00:06:16.689 insights into cancer resistance in various species. 00:06:18.730 --> 00:06:24.769 In business news, the S &P 493 reveals a very 00:06:24.769 --> 00:06:28.170 different United States economy. While a few 00:06:28.170 --> 00:06:30.410 trillion dollar companies are powering market 00:06:30.410 --> 00:06:32.850 gains, most other businesses are struggling. 00:06:33.750 --> 00:06:35.870 This year has been good for the stock market. 00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:39.720 But the S &P 500's gains are driven by a small 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.660 number of artificial intelligence -focused companies. 00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:47.040 The magnificent seven includes Alphabet, Amazon, 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.180 Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Economists 00:06:53.180 --> 00:06:56.180 express concerns about other companies not benefiting 00:06:56.180 --> 00:07:02.180 from this AI investment boom. The S &P 493 shows 00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:05.480 weaker performance among smaller firms. highlighting 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.639 economic struggles outside the tech sector.

And 00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:17.889 now, back to the show. Let's talk science. Scientists 00:08:17.889 --> 00:08:21.069 observed a man move energy with his mind, leading 00:08:21.069 --> 00:08:25.110 to classified research. In a Stanford laboratory, 00:08:25.350 --> 00:08:28.069 an unexplained event triggered years of secret 00:08:28.069 --> 00:08:31.660 psychic studies during the Cold War. The concept 00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:34.639 suggests that the mind may manipulate the surrounding 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:39.960 world. In 1972, an artist named Ingo Swan allegedly 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.159 altered a magnetic field in a sealed vacuum chamber 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.259 simply by thinking. This incident initiated Project 00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:50.500 Stargate, one of the most surreal programs in 00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:54.019 United States government history. The government 00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:56.960 aimed to train psychic spies who could see across 00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.919 time and space through remote viewing techniques. 00:09:03.370 --> 00:09:07.090 In entertainment news, Scarlett Johansson is 00:09:07.090 --> 00:09:10.669 set to star in Mike Flanagan's new Exorcist movie. 00:09:11.789 --> 00:09:15.090 Universal and Blumhouse hope to reboot the religious 00:09:15.090 --> 00:09:18.230 horror franchise after scrapping a trilogy planned 00:09:18.230 --> 00:09:23.090 around 2023's The Exorcist Believer. Flanagan 00:09:23.090 --> 00:09:26.350 stated, Scarlett is a brilliant actress whose 00:09:26.350 --> 00:09:29.070 captivating performances always feel grounded 00:09:29.070 --> 00:09:32.659 and real. The film, which will be the franchise's 00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:35.360 seventh from as many directors, is set to shoot 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.100 in New York City. Flanagan's film will tell an 00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:41.879 all -new story set in the Exorcist universe. 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.820 Despite a global gross of roughly $137 million, 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.679 Believer faced financial underperformance and 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.399 critical reviews. Flanagan describes his Exorcist 00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:00.240 movie as the scariest movie I've ever made. Well, 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.159 alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.200 day. And today our quote comes from the American 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.440 author and historian David McCullough. And he 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.399 said, history is who we are and why we are the 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:19.620 way we are.
