• 0:21
  Darwin arrived at the Galapagos Islands, studying
• 0:24
  unique species and noting variations that later
• 0:27
  helped shape his theory of natural selection.
• 0:30
  So today, take a longer walk to observe nature
• 0:33
  closely. So now you know. And now, it's time

• 2:27
  Sunny mornings send you. In local news, as Bruins
• 2:32
  training camp kicks off this week, one of the
• 2:35
  key questions is whether Boston will name a captain
• 2:37
  for the 2026 to 27 season. Since the Bruins traded
• 2:43
  Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers on March
• 2:46
  7, 2025, the team has not had a captain. with
• 2:50
  David Pasternak and Charlie McAvoy leading the
• 2:53
  way. McAvoy emphasized that there is no friction
• 2:57
  between him and Pasternak regarding the captaincy,
• 3:01
  highlighting their mutual respect and collaboration
• 3:03
  as they navigate leadership together. Bruins
• 3:07
  head Marco Sturm indicated that discussions about
• 3:10
  the captaincy are ongoing, and a decision is
• 3:13
  expected before the season starts. Now on to
• 3:21
  sports. Last night on Monday Night Football,
• 3:25
  the Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Denver Broncos
• 3:28
  in a statement performance that began their push
• 3:31
  to reclaim AFC West control after missing the
• 3:35
  playoffs entirely in 2025. Patrick Mahomes set
• 3:40
  the tone early with a 15 -yard rushing touchdown
• 3:42
  in the red zone, then found Kenneth Walker on
• 3:45
  a shovel pass for Walker's second score in the
• 3:48
  second half. Kansas City's defense was equally
• 3:52
  dominant. Rookie cornerback Mansour DeLayne picked
• 3:56
  off Bo Nix on Denver's opening drive. The Broncos
• 4:01
  offense looked disjointed throughout. Nix went
• 4:05
  17 of 28 for 131 yards with one touchdown and
• 4:10
  one interception, but the real damage came on
• 4:12
  the ground. Three fumbles, one lost. With offensive
• 4:17
  coordinator Davis Webb, Taking over play calling
• 4:20
  from Sean Payton, Denver couldn't establish any
• 4:24
  rhythm against the Kansas City onslaught. For
• 4:28
  the defending AFC West champions, it raised immediate
• 4:31
  questions about whether they could maintain their
• 4:33
  window of contention after last season's division
• 4:36
  title. In local sports, the Red Sox are riding
• 4:41
  momentum heading to Texas tonight. They have
• 4:45
  won their last two against Kansas City, including
• 4:48
  a 4 -1 victory Sunday, and they are 7 -3 over
• 4:52
  their last ten. Patrick Sandoval takes the mound
• 4:56
  at 8 -5 against the Rangers' Cody Bradford in
• 4:59
  game one of a three -game set. At 82 -68, Boston
• 5:04
  is still in the hunt, and every series matters
• 5:07
  down the stretch. Sandoval has been sharp lately,
• 5:12
  and he will need to be against a Rangers lineup
• 5:14
  that is dangerous at home. The Rangers are fighting
• 5:18
  for position too, so expect a competitive matchup.
• 5:22
  Meanwhile, the Celtics made a move in the backcourt.
• 5:26
  Boston signed Devin Carter to an Exhibit 10 contract
• 5:29
  Monday after he was waived by Atlanta. The West
• 5:34
  Palm Beach native and 13th overall pick from
• 5:37
  2024 gets a shot at Boston's final roster spot
• 5:41
  and its two -way opening during training camp.
• 5:45
  Carter has had a rough start to his NBA career,
• 5:49
  shoulder surgery, ankle injuries, back and calf
• 5:52
  issues, but he has got defensive upside and a
• 5:56
  homecoming angle with ties to Providence College.
• 6:00
  For the Celtics, it is at no risk look at a young
• 6:03
  player with potential. In top news, today we
• 6:09
  begin a three -part series about a major change
• 6:12
  happening in the Pacific Ocean. and what it could
• 6:15
  mean for Southern California this fall and winter.
• 6:19
  A massive ocean phenomenon called a Kelvin wave
• 6:22
  is traveling north along Mexico toward California.
• 6:26
  But despite the name, this isn't a giant breaking
• 6:29
  wave. A Kelvin wave is an enormous movement of
• 6:33
  warm water that can travel thousands of miles
• 6:36
  along the coastline, temporarily raising sea
• 6:39
  levels as it passes. This one is connected to
• 6:42
  the rapidly strengthening El Nino in the Pacific.
• 6:47
  Scientists expect it to travel around the Gulf
• 6:49
  of California, then continue north along Baja
• 6:52
  towards San Diego, and eventually farther up
• 6:55
  the California coast. And here's why we're paying
• 6:59
  attention. Researchers say the Kelvin wave could
• 7:02
  temporarily raise sea levels along parts of California
• 7:05
  by around a foot. That doesn't create dangerous
• 7:09
  surf by itself. Instead, think of it as raising
• 7:12
  the floor underneath everything else. High tides
• 7:16
  and large ocean swells then begin from a higher
• 7:19
  starting point, potentially allowing water and
• 7:22
  waves to reach farther inland. That's particularly
• 7:26
  noteworthy after the damaging hurricane swell
• 7:29
  Southern California just experienced. Tomorrow,
• 7:33
  we'll explain where this enormous Kelvin wave
• 7:35
  came from. and its connection to what could become
• 7:38
  a historic El Nino. In business news, CrowdStrike
• 7:45
  and Palo Alto networks lead software stocks to
• 7:48
  a never -before -seen feat. The software sector
• 7:51
  outperformed the chip sector to a historic degree
• 7:55
  in the face of escalating artificial intelligence
• 7:58
  fears. Cybersecurity stocks were the top performers
• 8:02
  in the Standard & Poor's 500 on Monday, showcasing
• 8:06
  how the technology trade has become starkly divided
• 8:09
  amid escalating warnings about artificial intelligence.
• 8:13
  Over the weekend, Anthropic Chief Executive Officer
• 8:16
  Dario Amadei outlined his concerns about the
• 8:19
  accelerating speed of artificial intelligence
• 8:22
  development, warning that models could soon become
• 8:25
  so powerful that they might spur legions of bots
• 8:28
  to take over the entire internet. In crypto movement,
• 8:33
  Bitcoin is unchanged at about $78 ,000. Ethereum
• 8:39
  is down half a percent to about $2 ,000. And
• 8:44
  XRP is up 3 % to $1 .41. Moving on to a more
• 8:50
  local vibe. In our community spotlight on health

• 9:40
  has acquired smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging
• 9:43
  in a deal valued at over $300 million, according
• 9:47
  to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Founded
• 9:51
  in 2019 and based in Los Altos, California, Glass
• 9:55
  Imaging previously raised about $30 million in
• 9:59
  funding from investors. The company was established
• 10:03
  by Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, former Apple engineers
• 10:06
  who developed Apple's portrait mode. Glass imaging
• 10:10
  employs artificial intelligence to enhance smartphone
• 10:13
  photography, learning about individual camera
• 10:16
  systems for improved images. OpenAI has not responded
• 10:21
  to requests for comment regarding this acquisition.
• 10:27

• 11:13
  righty, folks, it's time for the quote of the
• 11:15
  day. And today, our quote comes from the American
• 11:20
  writer and philosopher, Henry Adams. And he said,
• 11:24
  The progress of evolution from President Washington
• 11:27
  to President Grant was a lone evidence enough
• 11:30
  to upset Darwin. And that's a wrap for this morning.
