Speaker 1: This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news forty

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: eight degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. It is day thirty seven

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: of the government shutdown and a promise from Democrats to

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: keep the government closed if Republicans won't negotiate on healthcare.

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: This health Democrats remains the same. We will not support

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: a partisan Republican spending bill that continues to gut the

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: healthcare of the American people.

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson, meantime, is calling on Democrats to

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: end the shutdown, since he says they're the only ones

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: who can do it.

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: Republicans feel very helpless about the situation because, as we've noted,

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: there is really nothing for us to negotiate.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: And as the shutdown continues, troubles at the airport. Massport

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: Confirming Logan is one of the forty airports having their

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: flight schedules reduced beginning tomorrow. Some of the cancelations already

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: have started, according to the agency, and the FAA says

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: it is necessary to to deal with air traffic controller

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: shortages related to the federal government shutout. Cuts will be gradual,

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: but as we hear from CBS News Boston's Penny commit,

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: travelers are wondering what it's all going to mean for them.

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: Boston's Logan Airport is filled with anxious travelers after the

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 4: FAA announced that airlines must slash flights by ten percent

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 4: in forty high value markets. Logan joins Phoenix, Atlanta, and

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: all three major New York City airports all expected to

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 4: see hundreds of delays and cancelations throughout the coming days.

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: According to the FAA, the reductions would start tomorrow at

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: four percent and raise to ten percent by next week.

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 5: We are starting to see some evidence that fatigue is

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 5: building in the system and ways that we feel we

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 5: need to work towards relieving some of that pressure.

32
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: That's FAA Administrator Brian Bedford. Shaky day at Logan Airport. Anyway,

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty eight flights delayed Logan today, there

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: were thirty six cancels. She's come to the end of

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: the road. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi says she won't seek reelection

36
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: to the House. The announcement setting the stage for a

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: new rep for San Francisco for the first time in

38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: nearly four decades. Pelosi's decision coming after she helped to

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: lead California's Prop fifty redistricting effort. She was the first

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: female speaker. The House had already relinquished her leadership position

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: becoming speaker. A meriti say lawmakers have only a couple

42
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: of weeks before they break for the holidays, but there

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: are some bills that could make it to the Governor's desk.

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: As we hear from WBC's Madison Rodgers.

45

Speaker 3: assault on transit workers will now be considered by the

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: Senate in one week's time. The latter passed the House unanimously,

48
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: as lawmakers say they need to respond to concerns from

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: transit agencies and unions about a rising number of attacks

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: on workers the build up. The penalties for assaulting a

51
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: transit worker on the job with a sentence range from

52
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: ninety days to two and a half years. The other,

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: an Act regarding free expression, looks to lay out a

54
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: process for decisions on what books can't go in school libraries,

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: prohibiting the consideration of politics and religion, and requiring public hearings.
