1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: We defining local news.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: Sixteen degrees at eleven o'clock. Right now, it feels like

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: two degrees in the city. The wind from the west

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 3: at sixteen miles an hour, lots of sun though. Good morning.

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: I'm Nicole Davis. And by the way, don't put the

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 3: shovel away just yet. Make sure that snowblower is doing okay.

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 3: We could have more snow on the horizon. There's wybz's

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: hile shuffle.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 4: If you were a child in the winter of twenty fifteen,

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 4: you probably remember not going to school on Monday for

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: a month. If you were an adult, the ice dams

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 4: and backbreak and shoveling probably made more of an impression

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 4: and not to be the bearer of bad news.

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: So what we're in right now is not dissimilar to

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: what we saw in twenty fifteen. It's a big what

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: we call a negative EPO.

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 4: That CBS News Boston's chief mediaorologist, Eric Fisher. He says

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 4: the pattern for the foreseeable future is indeed looking similar

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: to Snowmageddon, but that doesn't necessarily mean them repeat performance.

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have very consistent, constant cold, the most

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: we've seen since twenty fifteen. The question is storms.

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: A storm is taking aim at the East coast for

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 4: this weekend, but he thinks it may just graze us.

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 4: Subject to change. I asked him if he as a

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: weather guy, I kind of wanted another twenty fifteen.

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Oh, the weather nerds will judge me. All the people

28
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: out there does root for every big hit, But no,

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: I am not wishing for a repeat.

30
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: Kyle Schaffle to b BSY Boston Shnooze Radio.

31
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody wants to clean up all that snow. Of course,

32
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: we're going to keep you posted as that forecast comes

33
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: to fruition right here on WBZ streaming always on the

34
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app. Now to Minnesota at eleven oh one. Days

35
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: after another protester was shot and killed during a confrontation

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: with federal agents, President Trump says the federal presence could

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: start to pull back over the coming days and weeks.

38
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: ABC's Rachel Scott.

39
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to shake up in leadership in Minnesota. I

40
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: asked the President what the American people can expect to

41
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 5: be different? But borders are Tom Homan now in charge

42
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: instead of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome, the President suggested

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: there would be a more relaxed approach. We've taken out

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 5: the largest part of the bad, really bad people, the

45
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 5: President said, adding so we can start doing maybe a

46
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: little bit more relaxed now.

47
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: Despite the talk of de escalation, the President is still

48
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: feuding publicly with the Minneapolis mayor Take a Fry on

49
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: social media. President Trump accusing Fry of playing with fire

50
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: and violating the law. As Fry has said he will

51
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: not take part in the Fed's immigration crackdown, and during

52
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: an event last night in Minnesota, Democratic Congresswoman Elon Omar

53
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: was sprayed with an unknown substance by somebody in the audience.

54
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: The incident in Minneapolis happened just as Capitol Police were

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: set to report new data on threats against members of Congress.

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: The department says it investigated nearly fifteen thousand statements, behaviours

57
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: and communications directed at lawmakers, their family, staff, and the

58
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: capital complex. It marks a nearly fifty eight percent increase

59
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: from the prior year.

60
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: ABC Stephen Portnoy. The attack coming days after a Democratic

61
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: Congressman from Florida, Maxwell Frost, was punched in the face

62
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: at the Sundance Film festival. It's another sunny day out there,

63
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: but it's also a very cold day yet again out there,

64
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: wind chills still in the single digits, if not below zero.

65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: If you make your way way of four ninety five.

66
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: We are going to see plenty of sun today, so

67
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: if you still have some clean up to do, Unfortunately,

68
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: not going to really see any melting. We're just going

69
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: to see a lot of calm and dry weather, so

70
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: I guess that helps in some ways. But again we've

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: got a high today just about twenty five degrees and

72
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: feeling more like the low teens at the height of

73
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: the day. For tonight, mostly cloudy, clearing, late low between

74
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: nine and ten ish or so in Boston right on

75
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: the coast, close to zero if you're inland, and feeling

76
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: again like below zero. For tomorrow, more sun than clouds

77
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: and high in the mid twenties. Friday, mostly sunny, breezy,

78
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: high in the mid teens, real feels close to zero.

79
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: And again for the weekend, we're looking at that possible

80
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: nor'easter coming in on Sunday. Our temperatures we are at

81
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: seventeen in Norwood, south of Boston on the Cape. In Chatham,

Speaker 3: sunny in eighteen west of Boston in Worcester, plenty of

85
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: feels like one. The NFL is getting ready for the

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: Patriots and see how to square off in the Super Bowl.

87
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 6: Can we fire up the old line painter? Shall we yep?

88
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 6: Lots of that going on at Levi Stadium as they

89
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 6: get ready for Super Bowl sixty. And it is a

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 6: whole new playing surface out there, it says NFL field

00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 6: director Nick Poppas, And they have to be ready early

92
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,320

Speaker 6: the halftime show Dremal holland WBUZ bosson Dues Radio.

97
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: And among the joy and excitement about the Pats heading

98
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: to California, there are still some serious allegations against two

99
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 3: key players. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore facing domestic violence charges

100
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: is Raiment was set for February third, but it has

101
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: now been pushed out to March ninth. Meantime, Wide receiver

102
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs is accused of attacking his personal chef. His

103
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 3: arraiment was originally set for a few days ago on

104
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: the twenty third, that has now been rescheduled for the

105
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: thirteenth of next month. Well, coming up at two, we're

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: going to get the latest from the Federal Reserves. It

107
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: wraps up its first policy meeting of the year. The

108
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: Fed expected to hold interest rates, study the markets, though

109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: watching closely for any clue about what could come down

110
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: the pike if.

111
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 7: The Federal Reserve takes no action. It means that interest

112
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 7: rates on credit card balances and auto loans, well, they're

113
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 7: going to remain high. Credit card interest rates right now

114
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 7: average over nineteen percent, and auto loans, which are heavily

115
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 7: dependent on credit scores and the age of the vehicle,

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 7: range from as low as five percent all the way

117
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 7: up to thirteen percent for those with shaky scores.

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: CBS's Jill Schlessinger and locally, the MBTA Communities Act is

119
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: producing real but modest benefits. That's according to a new

120
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 3: report from Boston Indicators The report says almost seven thousand

121
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: housing units are in the process of being built in

122
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: thirty four cities in towns, products with which they say

123
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 3: are a direct result of zoning changes from that law.

124
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: Now the region is dealing with a major housing shortage.

125
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: The law requires cities and towns near the MBTA system

126
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: to provide zoning for more housing to be built, does

127
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: not require any multi family housing to actually go up,

128
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: just the space for it. Senior fellow Amy Danes says

129
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: the law is the most effective state policy in years

130
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: to encourage multi family housing, but it does have a

131
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: lot of leeway to let communities avoid those goals, so

132
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: they say the impacts have been modest compared to the

133
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: overwhelming need for more housing. You are now in the

134
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: loop for news updates throughout the day. Listen to WBZ
