Speaker 4: elected mayor after a campaign where Trump and Mamdani were

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: very critical of one another. But Mom Donnie says, this

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: is about a relationship between New York and the White House.

37
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: And I will look to make clear that my interest

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: goes beyond any one of an individual. It's for the

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: people that I look to represent.

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: we told you about that massive memorial on Boston Common,

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: hundreds of transgender pride flags installed by the Queer Neighborhood

00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: Council honoring trans people who have been killed over the

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: past few years. The memorial was part of Transgender Awareness Week,

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: but now we have learned somebody it's not clear who

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: pulled all the flags out of the ground just hours

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: after they were put in. Advocates say they plan to

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: reinstall the memorial on the Common next November. Lots of

56
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,239

Speaker 2: We have temperatures right now in the upper thirties, low forties,

59
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,880

Speaker 2: fifty for the high. For tonight, mostly cloudy, low just

Speaker 2: about forty. Then for the weekend we are looking mostly dry.

62
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: Could have a couple of showers tomorrow morning, most of

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: those would be on the south coast Capan Islands. Otherwise,

Speaker 1: Triple A says over seven percent are doing it by air.

76
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: before the airport is flooded with folks flying for the holidays,

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: like be you Sudent, alex So, I definitely got enough time.

00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: The airport is business as.

85
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: Usual all logan James Rojas WBZ Boston Snooth Radio.

86
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Not too bad over there today, about forty five or

87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: so delays. Just five flights have been canceled, so hopefully

88
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: it stays easy for the rest of the afternoon. Now,

89
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: when it comes to Thanksgiving, Triple A says almost eighty

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: two million people are going to be going at least

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: fifty miles from home. Vast majority of those of us, though,

92
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: will be on the roads. That works out to about

93
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: seventy three million people heading too Grandma's house. You can

94
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: imagine that's going to be a lot of traffic, and that,

95
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: by the way, is on the low end. You can

96
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: imagine with all the flight delaysing cancelations we've had, some

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: people just may have sapped the idea of flying and

98
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: decided to drive instead. The Triple A is now recommending

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: that you leave before noon on Tuesday, before eleven am

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, they say Thursday. If you're going on Thanksgiving,

101
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: it should be quiet. If you're heading home Sunday, they said,

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: earlier is better, get going before eleven am if you can,

103
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: or later on in the day. Now, of course, we're

104
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: always going to have you covered traffic and weather together

105
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: every ten minutes. Right here on WBZ, grab a chainsaw.

Speaker 2: We's set up to Maine and talk about a new

107
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: effort to keep people warm there. Here's wbz's Drew moholland.

108
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 6: Nobody should go cold in this area.

109
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 5: For this one, we venture up to Bridgeton, May in

110
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 5: about three hours north of Boston, depending on traffic. He

111
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: can do it faster some days. Seventy seven year old

112
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: William Shuttleworth. I first met him when he lived in Newburyport.

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 5: He has started the Lake Region Wood Bank in Bridgeton.

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 5: He and the volunteers up there and mains delivery wood

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,680

Speaker 1: Who need it.

117
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 5: Fifty truckloads have been delivered so far, and they got

118
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 5: plenty more for people who are struggling and need to

119
00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: try to heat their home.

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 6: It's more than the living wood though. This builds community

121
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 6: for people to want to give and always try to

122
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 6: find a way of how to do that.

123
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,680
