• 3:37
  college football playoff rankings for the 2025
• 3:39
  season were released, with Ohio State, Indiana,
• 3:43
  Texas A &M, and Alabama occupying the top four
• 3:47
  spots. The selection committee emphasized a new

  In local sports, Jaron Duran's new contract for
• 4:22
  2026 may have sealed his Boston Red Sox bait.
• 4:27
  The team declined his $8 million option and quickly
• 4:31
  re -signed him to a one -year $7 .7 million deal
• 4:35
  with incentives. Duran's contract includes a
• 4:39
  $100 ,000 buyout and $25 ,000 bonuses for every
• 4:44
  50 -plate appearances after 450. This restructuring
• 4:50
  could signal a renewed interest in trading Duran,
• 4:53
  as he appears to be the odd man out in a crowded
• 4:56
  outfield. Teams like the San Diego Padres, and
• 5:00
  Detroit Tigers might be keen to pursue him. In
• 5:05
  top news, on November 6, 2025, United States
• 5:10
  Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced
• 5:13
  a 10 % cut in flights at 40 major United States
• 5:17
  airports due to air traffic control safety concerns
• 5:21
  amid a government shutdown that reached a record
• 5:24
  36 -day. The shutdown has resulted in staffing
• 5:28
  shortages, flight delays, and longer security
• 5:31
  wait times, impacting at least 3 .2 million travelers.
• 5:37
  Duffy indicated that cuts could be reversed if
• 5:40
  Democrats agree to reopen the government. Airlines
• 5:43
  are scrambling to adjust schedules, with significant
• 5:46
  reductions expected within 36 hours. The Federal
• 5:51
  Aviation Administration is about 3 ,500 air traffic
• 5:55
  controllers short of targeted staffing levels.
• 6:00
  In business news, there is a new way to get a
• 6:04
  loan, but it comes at a cost. Creditors have
• 6:08
  a new obsession. When you are turned down for
• 6:11
  a loan due to a low credit score, the lender
• 6:13
  may reconsider if you allow them access to your
• 6:16
  bank account. Financial companies are racing
• 6:19
  to analyze your day -to -day transactions, hoping
• 6:22
  to fill in gaps left by traditional credit scores.
• 6:25
  While open banking is optional, major lenders
• 6:28
  are embracing this trend, raising concerns about
• 6:31
  privacy. Some lenders claim that this access
• 6:35
  can help expand credit opportunities for those
• 6:38
  with thin credit histories. However, it also
• 6:42
  invites potential surveillance into your financial
• 6:44
  life. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 1 % to

  back to the show. Let's talk science. China was
• 7:56
  forced to postpone the return of three astronauts
• 7:58
  from its Tiangong space station following a suspected
• 8:02
  collision with space debris that appears to have
• 8:05
  struck their spacecraft. The Chinaman Space Agency
• 8:09
  is investigating the incident, stating the Shenzhou
• 8:12
  -20 crewed spacecraft is suspected to have been
• 8:15
  struck by a small piece of orbital debris. The
• 8:19
  crew, who launched in April, was supposed to
• 8:22
  return on Thursday, but the delay is to ensure
• 8:25
  the health and safety of the astronauts. This
• 8:28
  incident highlights the growing issue of space
• 8:31
  junk, which poses significant risks to missions.
• 8:35
  Experts note that even tiny debris can cause
• 8:38
  catastrophic damage at high speeds. Meghan Markle
• 8:46
  is returning to acting after seven years, as
• 8:50
  she is set to appear in the movie Close Personal
• 8:53

• 8:57

• 9:00
  herself in a small role in this Amazon and GM
• 9:03
  Studios comedy, which follows partners befriending
• 9:07
  a famous couple during a trip to Santa Barbara,
• 9:09
  California. According to multiple outlets, Macon's
• 9:15
  last acting role was in the legal drama Suits,
• 9:17
  where she played Rachel Zane for seven seasons
• 9:20
  before leaving in 2018 to focus on royal duties.
• 9:25
  Though she has launched a lifestyle brand and
• 9:27
  a Netflix series, Macon states she does not see
• 9:30
  herself returning to acting full -time. Well,
• 9:34
  all righty, folks. It's time for the quote of
• 9:37
  the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 9:41
  American author and motivational speaker, and
• 9:46
  he said, Success means doing the best we can
• 9:50
  with what we have. Success is the doing, not
• 9:53
  the getting and the trying, not the triumph.
• 9:57
  Success is a personal standard, reaching for
• 10:00
  the highest that is in us, becoming all that
• 10:02
  we can be. And that's a wrap for this morning.
