  in local sports. The New England Patriots may
• 5:04
  have a unique trade opportunity that could transform
• 5:07
  their defensive rebuild. With the New York Giants
• 5:11
  struggling at two wins, they might be open to
• 5:13
  trading their star player, Kayvon Thibodeau.
• 5:17
  The Patriots boast a strong defense, ranking
• 5:20
  in the top ten for points allowed per game, with
• 5:23
  impressive run defense thanks to recent additions.
• 5:27
  However, they have struggle against passing attacks,
• 5:30
  prompting the need for an effective edge rusher.
• 5:34
  Acquiring Thibodeau could enhance their defensive
• 5:36
  unit. especially if they can offer players like
• 5:39
  Kian White or draft picks in return. On Sunday,
• 5:44
  we got our 4 -2 Pats in Tennessee facing the

• 8:50
  Let's talk science. Scientists have finally corrected
• 8:54
  a fatal flaw in an unlimited power source. sparking
• 8:58
  an energy revolution. Researchers in the United
• 9:02
  Kingdom exploited a weakness in current energy
• 9:05
  technology to create more electricity. Traditional
• 9:09
  solar power technology falters during heat waves,
• 9:12
  losing 10 to 25 percent of potential electricity.
• 9:17
  The new method alters photovoltaic cells to store
• 9:20
  excess heat as chemical energy, which can later
• 9:23
  be converted into electricity. If widely adopted,
• 9:28
  these photo -electrochemical solar panels could
• 9:30
  significantly contribute to sustainable power.
• 9:35
  This innovative approach showcases that even
• 9:37
  heat waves could be harnessed to power the green
• 9:40
  energy revolution. And in entertainment news,
• 9:47
  Eddie Q. hints at Apple's next sports deal, stating,

• 10:00
  States' rights of Formula One, Hugh has been
• 10:03
  discussing Apple TV and sports streaming. During
• 10:07
  a recent panel, Hugh criticized the current streaming
• 10:10
  landscape, suggesting more bundling is needed.
• 10:15
  He also noted that streaming technology could
• 10:17
  unlock new opportunities. When discussing Formula
• 10:21
  One, Q pointed out that the related movie is
• 10:24
  the highest -grossing sports film of all time.
• 10:29
  Apple is close to announcing its Formula One
• 10:31
  streaming package, potentially this weekend at
• 10:34
  the U .S. Grand Prix in Austin. Well, alrighty
• 10:38
  folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
• 10:42
  today, our quote comes from the American inventor
• 10:45
  and futurist, R. Buckminster Fuller. And he said,
• 10:51
  we are called to be architects of the future,
• 10:54
  not its victims. And that's a wrap for this morning.
