  New York, and Tampa, but by 2026, all locations

• 5:23
  girl has encountered a setback as Coinbase has
• 5:26
  withdrawn its support. Coinbase chief executive
• 5:30
  officer Brian Armstrong stated that the legislation
• 5:33
  has too many issues in its current form. Bitcoin's
• 5:37
  rally paused early Thursday after the Senate
• 5:39
  Banking Committee postponed a hearing on this
• 5:42
  crucial bill. The committee was set to discuss
• 5:45
  the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, but halted
• 5:48
  proceedings following Coinbase's withdrawal on
• 5:51
  Wednesday. Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim
• 5:54
  Scott expressed that everyone remains at the
• 5:56
  table working in good faith, referring to the
• 5:59
  delay as a breach pause. Despite Coinbase's concerns,
• 6:04
  Armstrong remains quite optimistic about achieving
• 6:07
  a positive outcome with ongoing efforts. In business
• 6:13
  news, McDonald's began franchising in 1955 and
• 6:18
  currently operates 44 ,113 units. Entering 2025,
• 6:25
  McDonald's aimed to deliver value to customers
• 6:27
  amid declining consumer sentiment and a 1 .4
• 6:31
  % sales dip in the fourth quarter of 2024. In
• 6:35
  January, McDonald's launched in value, featuring
• 6:39
  popular $5 meal deals and a buy one, add one
• 6:43
  for $1 offer. Joralinger, president of McDonald's
• 6:48
  USA, emphasized that customers should define
• 6:51
  value on their own terms. Sales jumped 2 .4 %
• 6:56
  in the third quarter of 2025, thanks to affordability
• 6:59
  -focused menu changes and ongoing technology

  Morning sent you by. And now, back to the show.
• 8:10
  Let's talk science. A hidden blob of water has
• 8:14
  abruptly reappeared in the Atlantic. For decades,
• 8:18
  scientists have known about equatorial waters
• 8:20
  in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, but a similar
• 8:23
  mass in the Atlantic has long remained elusive.
• 8:26
  A study by the Shershev Institute of Oceanology
• 8:30
  discovered this aquatic mass, known as the Atlantic
• 8:33
  Equatorial Water, by analyzing data from the
• 8:36
  International Argo Program. Understanding this
• 8:40
  water mass will help scientists grasp how the
• 8:43
  world's oceans transfer heat and nutrients. This
• 8:47
  discovery enhances our knowledge of oceanic complexity,
• 8:50
  which is vital for studying climate variability.
• 8:56
  and in entertainment news. Apple TV has secured
• 9:00
  a thriller series starring Dakota Fanning. The
• 9:04
  untitled project will also feature Dakota Fanning
• 9:07
  as an executive producer, alongside her sister,
• 9:11
  Elle Fanning. According to a press release, the
• 9:15
  plot details were outlined after Apple acquired
• 9:17
  the rights in a competitive situation last year.
• 9:21
  The series is a production of Sony Pictures Television.
• 9:24
  with exclusive distribution by Apple TV. While
• 9:27
  no release timeline has been announced, the show's
• 9:30
  title is expected to be revealed soon. Apple
• 9:33
  TV offers a subscription for $12 per month, featuring
• 9:37
  popular shows and movies. Well, alrighty folks,
• 9:42
  it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 9:46
  our quote comes from the American astronaut and
• 9:49
  first person to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong.
• 9:52
  And he said, that's one small step for man, one
• 9:57
  giant leap for mankind, highlighting the power
• 9:59
  of collaboration and exploration in advancing
• 10:02
  human achievement. And that's a wrap for this
• 10:07
