  some of the super wealthy to leave the state.

  Following the approval of a 4 % surcharge on
• 3:20
  incomes exceeding $1 million, many affluent individuals
• 3:24
  are considering relocating to states like Florida,
• 3:28
  which has no income tax. Paul Karger, managing
• 3:32
  partner at Twin Focus in Boston, reports that
• 3:36
  around half of his family office clients are
• 3:38
  contemplating leaving Massachusetts. While predictions
• 3:42
  of a mass exodus remain unverified, concerns
• 3:46
  about lost revenue and a potential brain drain
• 3:49
  are growing. Initial reports indicate a slight
• 3:53
  increase in millionaires residing in the state,
• 3:55
  although critics challenge these findings. Now
• 4:03
  on to sports. Aaron Rodgers has hinted strongly
• 4:08
  that he may soon sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

  During a recent Q &A event, when asked about

  playing for the Chicago Bears, Rogers quickly
• 4:17
  responded, no, and mentioned an upcoming game
• 4:21
  involving a team that plays in Chicago. Fans
• 4:25
  noted that the Steelers faced the Bears at Soldier
• 4:27
  Field in Week 12. While some speculated about
• 4:31
  the New Orleans Saints, Rogers ruled that out,
• 4:34
  stating he did not want to live in Louisiana.
• 4:38
  With the Steelers aggressively pursuing him,
• 4:41
  It seems Rodgers' decision may be imminent, potentially
• 4:44
  marking a new chapter in his career. In local
• 4:48
  sports. Yesterday afternoon in Milwaukee, the

  Red Sox were edged out by the Brewers 3 -2. Romy

  six innings. The Sox managed seven hits. but
• 5:07
  the Brewers capitalized early with Jackson Chorio's

• 5:17
  held firm, leaving the Sox at 27 -29. Tonight,

  top news, Congressman Joe Neguse recently joined

  The Weeknd to address the breeze and corruption
• 5:52
  surrounding former President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency
• 5:55
  dinner held last week. He highlighted the issues
• 5:59
  within the event and emphasized how Democrats
• 6:02
  are actively pushing back against the Republican
• 6:05
  Party's proposed bill, which includes significant
• 6:08
  budget cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
• 6:11
  Program and Medicaid. As the political landscape
• 6:15

  conflicts between parties aiming to protect essential

  social programs for those in need. In business

• 6:32
  a potentially fatal blow after the House of Representatives
• 6:36
  passed a tougher version of President Trump's
• 6:39
  expansive tax and spending package. This bill
• 6:43
  ends rich renewable energy credits, with credits
• 6:46
  for rooftop solar and battery storage terminating
• 6:49
  this year. Analysts warn this marks the end of
• 6:52
  residential solar as it exists today. leading
• 6:55
  to significant stock drops in companies like
• 6:58
  Sunrun, which fell 37%. Industry leaders urged
• 7:03
  the Senate to reconsider, emphasizing that home

  Let's talk science. During a severe heat wave
• 8:26
  in 2023, scientists off the coast of Papua New
• 8:30
  Guinea made a surprising discovery about clownfish.
• 8:34
  Researchers measured the sizes of 134 of these
• 8:38
  iconic orange and white fish over several months
• 8:41
  and found that most shrank, in some cases by
• 8:44
  a few millimeters. Lead researcher Melissa Versteeg
• 8:48
  noted, we were so surprised to see shrinking.
• 8:52
  Although the exact mechanism is unclear, this
• 8:55
  adaptation may help clownfish survive rising
• 8:58
  ocean temperatures. The study adds complexity
• 9:02
  to the ongoing challenges faced by marine ecosystems,
• 9:06
  highlighting the resilience of these creatures
• 9:08
  amid climate change. And in entertainment news,

  importance of surrounding himself with talented

  collaborators. As Your Friends and Neighbors

• 9:52
  growth, saying, I love being 50, and appreciates
• 9:55
  the opportunity to tell stories that resonate
• 9:58
  with audiences. Well, alrighty folks, it's time
• 10:03
  for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
• 10:07
  comes from the American author and philosopher,
• 10:09
  Ralph Waldo Emerson. And he said, What lies behind
• 10:15
  us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared
• 10:18
  to what lies within us. And that's a wrap for
