1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Fifty four degrees in Boston. It is raining right now

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: and we've got a bit of fog out there in

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: the city as well. Full forecast coming up in about

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: three minutes. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis. It's eleven o'clock

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: and here's what's happening. President Trump back in Washington after

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: yesterday's trip to Israel and Egypt celebrating the seats fire

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: between Israel and Hamas. However, the deal is not completely

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: done just yet. One of the major factors is some

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: of the bodies of hostages who died in captivity have

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: not been returned as promised. ABC's Ian Pannell has more

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: and what could come next.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: Satellite images assessed by the UN showing eighty three percent

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: of structures in the strip are damaged. So much remains

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: to be done, not least how to end the famine here,

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: how to rebuild, and how to dismantle Hamas. It'll require

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: all of President Trump's efforts to make sure that this

18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: ceasefire turns into a lasting peace.

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: The future of a possible Palestinian state is also up

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: in the air. The Israeli government considers that to be

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: a red line. President Trump has not come out in

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: favor either of a two state solution. After months of speculation,

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: Its official main, governor, Janet Mills, says she is running

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: for Senate. The Democrat is trying to oust longtime Republican

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: Senator Susan Collins. Seventy seven year old Mills is term

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: limited as governor of Maine. If she is successful here,

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: she would become the oldest elected freshman senator in history.

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: It's going to be a busy primary, though, on the

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: Democratic side, as another name is already making waves, forty

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: one year old Graham Plattner, who's an Oyster farmer and

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: veteran running on a more progressive tack. Collins is trying

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 2: to get back to the Senate for a sixth term.

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Senate Capitol Hill now, in day fourteen

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: of the government shutdown, ABC's Rachel Scott says thousands of

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: federal workers have already lost their jobs.

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: As the government shut down heads into its third week,

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson with a stark warning.

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: We're barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history.

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: The longest shutdown was during the first Trump administration and

40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: lasted thirty five days. The House Speaker said Democrats can

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: end the shutdown tomorrow, calling their hard line on extending

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: the Obamacare subsidies to keep healthcare costs for millions from

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: rising a boondoggle. The White House using the shutdown to

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: fire more than four thousand federal workers, including many inside

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: the Department of Education.

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: Now, the Senate is back in session after the holiday today.

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Later today, they're expected to vote for an eighth time

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: on a possible resolution. Neither party appears ready to budge

49
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: and at a lefno. Two Homeland Security officials claim the

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: thirteen year old boy from Everett who was detained last

51
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: week had a gun and knife on him at the time.

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: Assistant DHS Secretary Trisha McLaughlin says the boy has a

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: the Globe the boys' constitutional rights are being violated and

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: he should have stayed in Massachusetts to be near his family.

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: It is a bit pesky out there weatherwise. We have

61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: some fog and some showers sticking around eastern Massachusetts. If

62
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: you're in western Massachusetts, just some clouds, though it's pretty

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: dry right now. The winds are dying down as well.

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 2: This storm will be spiraling its way out of our

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: neck of the woods in the coming hours, so again

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: later on today into tonight, things will start to dry out.

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: And again we needed the rain. I know, we don't

68
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: like to hear that, but we did need the rain,

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: probably not all of it at once, but you know what,

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: it's not a bad thing as we are still in

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: a drought. We've got temperatures in the fifties right now,

72
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: getting down tonight to about the mid upper forties if

00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: So the cooler weather is finally here. Don't see any

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: eighties on the forecast anytime soon. When do you turn

85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: on the heat?

86
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: I'm starting off with a simple enough question, are you

87
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 5: already cold?

88
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: Yes? It is.

89
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm always freezing in my office.

90
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: I would say so because I'm always constantly thinking about

91
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: how cold it is.

92
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 5: I'm finding a lot of people are having a hard

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: time transitioning from our eighty degree weather a week ago

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 5: to our current predicament. Others, though, are always running hot.

95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 5: No today I was burning up. If you've already turned

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: up your heat, don't feel guilty. If you're cold, you're cold.

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 5: But for those of us who hold off, we do

98
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 5: get some extra savings in the bank account because energy

99
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 5: bills are always through the roof, grabbing those blankets and

100
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: hoodies till maybe November before they touched that thermostat.

101
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: I agree I just want to bundle leaf for the.

102
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 5: Rest of us. It's time to turn up the heat

103
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: and Quincy Center Jim mcka WVZ Boston's news Rady out.

104
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: At eleven oh six. We're watching developing news today out

105
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: of the Washington area of the Supreme Court, where the

106
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: High Court now says. Podcast host and conspiracy theorist to

107
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: Alex Jones is still on the hook for a one

108
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: point four billion dollar penalty. Jones, you might remember, was

109
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: sued for defamation by families of the Sandy Hooks school

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: shooting after the After spending years insisting the massacre was

111
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: a hoax, a Connecticut judge found him liable ordered he

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 2: pay the massive fine. Jones though appeal to the High Court,

113
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: saying that the judge was wrong to issue that judgment

114
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: without a trial, for the Justice is rejecting that appeal

115
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 2: without even asking the families of the Sandy hook victims

116
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: to respond. New tariffs from President Trump go into effect today,

117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: and those tariffs could make your home building in renovation

118
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: projects a bit more expensive. That's because those tariffs are

119
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: on lumber, furniture, and other wood products. Here's ABC's Rebecca Jarvis.

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 4: To build a house because of these tariffs. We've already

121
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: seen prices up about eight thousand dollars, and this additional

122
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: tariff taking effect adds one thousand dollars. If you're buying

123
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: on the higher end, that has a smaller impact, but

124
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: it also encourages some of these homebuilders. Instead of building

125
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 4: some of the less expensive homes, which are so desperately

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: needed first time home buyers really struggling with affordability right now,

127
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: it encourages building on the higher end, which doesn't necessarily

128
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: create the types of homes that we really need more

129
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 4: of in this country.

130
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: And in response, the White House maintains the tariffs. We'll

131
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: protect against national security threats and help to strengthen manufacturing.
