  news, dozens of immigrant advocates gathered
• 2:53
  at Boston City Hall Plaza on Thursday, urging
• 2:56
  Congress to extend temporary protected status
• 2:59
  for Haitians and Syrians. They warned that ending
• 3:03
  the program would lead to family separations,
• 3:06
  worsen labor shortages, and expose thousands
• 3:08
  to deportation. With protections for roughly
• 3:12
  350 ,000 Haitians and 6 ,000 Syrians set to expire,
• 3:18
  advocates emphasize the urgent need for action.
• 3:22
  Community members were encouraged to support
• 3:24
  TPS recipients, as many of them are essential
• 3:27
  workers in Massachusetts. Advocates are pushing
• 3:30
  for legislation to extend these vital protections
• 3:33
  before they expire on Monday. Now onto sports.
• 3:43
  Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissette
• 3:46
  will participate in training camp amid ongoing
• 3:49
  contract negotiations with no hold -in or hold
• 3:53
  -out planned. Coach Mike Loeffler confirmed that
• 3:56
  Brissette will practice on the camp's first day
• 3:59
  despite no agreement reached yet. Brissette's
• 4:02
  attendance is important as he missed most of
• 4:05
  the offseason program. only reporting during
• 4:07
  mandatory minicamp as a non -participant. Following
• 4:12
  the release of Kyler Murray, Brissette became
• 4:14
  the primary option after starting 12 games in
• 4:18
  2025. He seeks an extension, wanting compensation
• 4:22
  more in line with fellow starters. Loeffler described
• 4:26
  the contract talks as still ongoing and productive.
• 4:30
  In local sports, the Red Sox kept rolling last
• 4:34
  Wednesday. beating Baltimore 6 -3 at Fenway.
• 4:39
  Jake Fennett was sharp on the mound with four
• 4:42
  strikeouts over five and two -thirds innings,
• 4:45
  and a Roldis Chapman locked down save number
• 4:48

• 5:06

• 5:09
  Trejasovic, with momentum firmly on the Sox side.
• 5:14
  In other news, top prospect Franklin Arias got
• 5:17
  promoted to AAA Worcester after dominating at
• 5:21
  Portland. The 20 -year -old shortstop is ranked
• 5:24
  third overall in baseball, and hit 19 home runs
• 5:28
  this season, nearly matching his entire first
• 5:31
  three professional years combined. He could push
• 5:34
  for a September call -up. The organization is
• 5:37
  also exploring second baseman Marcelo Mayer as
• 5:41
  a trade piece with the August 3rd deadline approaching,
• 5:44
  with interest in Angels shortstop SACNATO. Meanwhile,
• 5:49
  the Celtics locked up Jordan Walsh with a three
• 5:52
  -year, $15 million extension. The young wing
• 5:56
  shot 50 .9 % from the field and 38 % from three
• 6:01
  while playing elite defense. It is a steal for
• 6:04
  a second round pick and exactly the kind of value
• 6:07
  deal Boston needs managing big money for Tatum
• 6:11
  and George. In top news, The Justice Department
• 6:17
  is dropping the subpoenas it filed demanding
• 6:20
  grand jury testimony and phone records from New
• 6:23
  York Times journalists after sharp questioning
• 6:26
  from a federal judge. The government had insisted
• 6:29
  it was acting solely in the interest of national
• 6:32
  security. At the hearing, the U .S. District
• 6:35
  Court judge, a run sub -Romanian, expressed concerns
• 6:38
  about violations of protections for journalists.
• 6:41
  He threatened to impose sanctions against federal
• 6:44
  attorneys for misleading the court. David McGraw,
• 6:48
  the lead newsroom lawyer for the New York Times,
• 6:51
  called it a great day for the First Amendment.
• 6:54
  The Justice Department maintains its investigation
• 6:57
  remains ongoing. In business news, Andy's rivalry
• 7:04
  with NVIDIA is increasingly moving into a new
• 7:07
  realm. The chip makers are best known for competing
• 7:10
  in the graphics processing unit business, but
• 7:13
  they are stepping up their offerings in the attractive
• 7:15
  market for server central processing units. Advanced
• 7:20
  micro devices has been coming after NVIDIA in
• 7:22
  the market for graphics processing units. However,
• 7:26
  the smaller chip companies' new product announcements
• 7:29
  show there is fierce competition in the market
• 7:31
  for central processing units as well. On Thursday,
• 7:36
  AMD unveiled the sixth generation of its EPYC
• 7:39
  central processing units for data center servers
• 7:42
  at its Advancing Artificial Intelligence event.
• 7:46
  The Venice family of chips is meant to support
• 7:48
  agentic artificial intelligence workloads, AMD

  up 1 % to $1 .11. Moving on to a more local vibe.

  Morning sent you by. And now, back to the show.
• 9:04
  Let's talk tech. Scientists have developed a
• 9:07
  handheld device to measure when your body is
• 9:09
  burning fat. This breathalyzer identifies the
• 9:13
  amount of acetone in your breath to determine
• 9:16
  if you are in ketosis. While smart scales and
• 9:20
  smart watches use bioelectrical impedance for
• 9:22
  quick estimates, accurately measuring fat burning
• 9:25
  is more complex. Researchers led by Andreas Guntner
• 9:30
  created a breathalyzer that closely matched lab
• 9:33
  results in a study involving 12 participants.
• 9:37
  The device filters excess moisture and contaminants,
• 9:40
  aided by a companion app that guides users through
• 9:43
  the breathing process. Frequent metabolic measurements
• 9:46
  may prove useful across various health settings.
• 9:55
  Tam Holland has made Hot Ones history by becoming
• 9:58
  the first person to vomit on camera on the talk
• 10:01
  show. In the popular series, host John Evans
• 10:05
  asks celebrities questions while they attempt
• 10:07
  to eat chicken wings coated in hot sauce. In
• 10:11
  a latest episode, the British actor was joined
• 10:13
  by his The Odyssey and Spider -Man. Brand New
• 10:17
  Day co -star John Bernthal. Right from the first
• 10:20
  round, Tom struggled with the spice and started
• 10:23
  drinking a lot of milk. That's battery acid,
• 10:27
  he stated, later adding, I feel like I could
• 10:30
  black out. After the round, Tom coughed uncontrollably
• 10:34
  and suddenly keeled to the ground to throw up.
• 10:38
  John declared, let's go, take a picture of that.
• 10:42
  The uncharted star recovered and insisted, you
• 10:45
  can use that footage. Tom proudly declared that
• 10:49
  he managed to keep his outfit clean, saying,
• 10:52
  look, Louis Vuitton, I got none of it on my clothes.
• 10:57
  To conclude, John asked Sean whether anyone had
• 11:00
  puked on set before, with the host replying,
• 11:02
  that might be the first on set ever. I love being
• 11:06
  the first, smiled Tom. The Odyssey is now showing
• 11:11
  in cinemas, while Spider -Man, Brand New Day,
• 11:14
  opens on July 31st. Well, all righty, folks.
• 11:19
  It's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 11:23
  our quote comes from the American historian and
• 11:26
  author David McCullough. And he said, history
• 11:30
  is who we are and why we are the way we are.
• 11:34
  And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
• 11:38
