1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: Thirty degrees in Boston. It is four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: Good to have you with us. I'm Nicole Davis, and

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: here's what's happening. The man who tried to assassinate President

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: Trump at a Florida golf course has now been sentenced

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: to life in prison.

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: Trump was golfing at his West Palm Beach club in

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: September of twenty twenty four when a Secret Service agent

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 3: spotted Ryan Ruth aiming a rifle through a bush. The

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: agent opened fire. Ruth never got a shot off, he

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: dropped his rifle and ran. Prosecutors had suggested life without parole,

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 3: saying Ruth is unrepentant and has never apologized. Ruth's attorney

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: asked for a twenty seven year sentence based on Ruth's

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: mental health status and his age. He's about to turn sixty.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: Michael Wallace CBS.

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: News over to Georgia, where officials in Fulton County have

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: gone to federal court asking a judge to help them

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: get back all the ballots and documents ceased during a

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: raid last week by the FBI. Those documents were all

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: connected to the twenty twenty presidential election. President Trump has maintained,

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: without evidence, that election was rigged against him. The motion

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: file today also asks for the affidavit connected to the

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: warrant to be unsealed. Here's County Chair Rob Pitts.

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 4: We were given no notice whatsoever. They showed up and

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: took the seven hundred boxes that they wanted. So what

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 4: they're doing with them now, we don't know. Typically we're

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 4: given copies. We don't even have copies of what they took.

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: So it's a problem. What are they doing with Where

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: are they?

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: Who hasn't it's telling reporters. He believes the move in

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: his county, which includes Atlanta, is just a test case

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: for other federal actions ahead of the midterms. He says

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: the constitution is at stake. President Trump today saying his

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: call with Chinese President Shi Jimping was excellent. He says

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: he's very much looking forward to his upcoming trip to

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: China in April. On social media, the president said he

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: and she spoke about trade, Iran, the war in Ukraine, Taiwan,

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: and other issues. The call comes as the Trump administration

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: says it wants to create a critical mineral trading block

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: with US ally. They say they want to do this

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: in hopes of pushing back against China flooding the market.

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: And as the fallout settles over the newly released Epstein files,

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: the former Prince Andrew has packed up and moved out

44
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: of his longtime home quite a bit earlier than expected. Here,

45
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: the brother of King Charles the Third, left the Royal

46
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: Lodge in Windsor back on Monday. He's now moved into

47
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: the King's private estate at Sandrigum. This move has been

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: in the work since back in October, when Charles stripped

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: Andrew of his titles over his connections to the convicted pedophile.

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: Andrew himself has been accused of having sex with young

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: girls through his ties to Epstein, something he has denied.

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: But over the past few days, more materials involving Andrew

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: have come out of the files, and at four two

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: to Arizona, where the sheriff leading the search for today's

55
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: show host Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy, says he thinks she's

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: still alive and they're working to save her. Official states

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 2: become clear she was taken from her home against her will.

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Despite hundreds of tips, investigators still have no idea who

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: took her or how many suspects could be involved. Sure

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: if is there any indications so so far as to

61
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: whether this was a random abduction or targeted. We're looking

62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: at all the leads and we don't know. We're going

63
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: to assume both sides of that. ABC affiliate k Gun

64
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: says they received one of several possible ransom notes sent

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: which they forwarded to law enforcement officials are investigating if

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: any of these letters are legitimate, stressing they take all

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: leads very seriously, not as ABC's.

68
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: Trevor Alt reporting there from Tucson. Blue skies out there

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: for the rest of the afternoon. A couple of clouds,

70
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: but those are clearing out pretty quick. We have mostly

71
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: clear skies Tonight, quite cold, low fifteen Downtown, single digits

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: in many inland suburbs. For Tomorrow, mostly sunny, much like today,

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: a high in the low thirties, a bit of a

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: breeze than tomorrow night, partly cloudy and cold sixteen in Boston,

75
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: single digits and many inland suburbs. Friday, we really start

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: to feel that colder air coming in, with a high

77
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: only in the mid twenties, more clouds than sun. And

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: then on Friday night and a Saturday, we will see

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: some snow moving in. Not too much, certainly, not like

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: two feet like we saw a matter of days ago. No,

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: we're talking about a coding to an inch, but it

82
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: will be enough to make those untreated surfaces a bit slippery.

83
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: The wind is really going to pick up as well,

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: and then when the snow moves out over the weekend,

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: temperatures will drop. Another round of bitter Arctic air is

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: right on our doorstep. It's thirty one in Situate, thirty

87
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: two in Melrose, thirty one in Wellesley. In Boston at

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 2: four oh five, it's partly cloudy and thirty. A Wakefield

89
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: man is the lucky winner of a random draw after

90
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: getting his blood drawn. Here's Toby Beezy's Jared Browsman.

91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 5: Whenever I think about donating blood, I said, I can't

92
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: wait to get my Apple juice and Oreo cookies.

93
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 6: But this time it came with some Super Bowl tickets.

94
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 6: Eric Jellison is headed to Santa Cilara for his first

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 6: ever NFL game thanks to the American Red Cross.

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 5: And I was shocked by it, and they said, well,

97
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 5: we need to know, like in twenty four hours and

98
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 5: I think I gave it him an answer in like

99
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 5: twenty four seconds.

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 6: Jealouson made a promise to donate blood after suffering a

101
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 6: traumatic injury as a teenager, and.

102
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 5: You save other lives, you'd give other people the opportunity

103
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 5: to continue to reach stand dreams like me. I'm going

104
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: to the Super Bowl because somebody, one time or another

105
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: donated blood and I got it now.

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 6: He would have been going to the Big Game regardless,

107
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: but the stars aligned once the Pats punched their ticket.

108
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 5: I don't even know how to express how how lucky

109
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 5: and fortunate I am that, you know, everything came together

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 5: that way. It was like the perfect storm, I guess.

111
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 6: From Dan Versum, Jare Brosn and WBZ, Boston's news radio.

112
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: As the game, of course, is just a few days out,

113
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: you're running out of time to plan the menu. I've

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: got snacks in right. Wbz's Jim McKay went out to

115
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: see what Pats fans are chowing down on during the game.

116
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 6: If you love football, it's one of the best days

117
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 6: of the year.

118
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 7: I guess it's about that time of the year where

119
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 7: we get ready for an early February feast with some

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 7: food for all things football.

121
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 5: Mostly the soda, chips, cookies.

122
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: The usual.

123
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: We start with little smokeies.

124
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: Hoping to do some wings.

125
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, a nice array of menu items from the people

126
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 7: I'm talking to coming out of the market, basket in hand.

127
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 6: This year I'm going to do. We got some fingersteaks

128
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 6: in here.

129
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 7: Well, some may be going to seafood routes. I know

130
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 7: I am.

131
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: Why not?

132
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 7: With the Patriots of the big game, and also they're

133
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 7: playing against Seattle. This is a true coast to coast matchup.

134
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 7: But there's one menu that might keep hearing about from everybody.

135
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: Some chicken wings from wherever.

136
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 7: Get them now while you still can enjoy your feast

137
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 7: and go Pats and head over. Jim McKay, w be Z,

Speaker 2: about to change its name for a day to Maynard

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: well Over Radio. It sounds the same, but there is

143
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: a big distinction here as we're talking about paying tribute

144
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: to Patriots quarterback Drake may So, it's going to be

145
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: Maynard with an E m Aye nar d. The name

146
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: change officially goes into effect super Bowl Sunday, but it's

147
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: not going to be forgotten. Two commemorative signs have been

148
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: made to mark the change, one of which is going

149
