23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 3: act together for the big day, but then again you

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: need to plan for a budget, and we're all over

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: the map this year. WBC Strew moholland is here with

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: the latest numbers. Good morning, Andrew, Morning, Jeffery, you host,

00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,000

00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: we go.

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 4: There's been a lot to talk about the cost of

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: a turkey, Jeffrey. It's definitive. Report from the American Farm

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 4: Bureers suggests it's not going to be that bad this year.

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: The group says the average cost of putting on a

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 4: feast for ten people turkey, all the fixins as well

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: as dessert going to be about fifty five bucks in change.

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: That's about five dollars fifty cents a person. A third

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: year in a row now of price declines, and the

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: group says it all varies by region, but this will

39
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: be nowhere near the record setting price tag of sixty

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: four bucks a pop three years ago. Katherine, this turkey

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 4: tastes half as good as it looks.

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: I think we're all in for a very big treat.

43
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: Save the neck for me Clark, Okay, Eddie.

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: We get that every year.

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: NOI it's a must play every year. One week from today,

46
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: people ready set go. Tourism officials that meet Boston want

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: to meet more of you. The organization launches a new

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: campaign designed to tap into the possibility of bringing more

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: major events to the city. The Greater Boston Sports Commission

50
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: is born, and it hopes to build on the pending

51
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: success of next summer's FIFA World Cup matches at Jillette Stadium.

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: The Globe reports the billion dollars in economic activity the

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: World Cup matches will bring to the area are too

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: much to pass up, so the panel will look at

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: ways to go back to the well time and time

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: again to tap into the potential of the nation's most

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: renowned sports city. Making friends and influencing people may now

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: come with a cost.

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: Paying for friends. Would you do it? You wouldn't. Maybe

60
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: trust a friend that you're paying to hang out with you?

61
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 5: Absolutely not. They have different intentions. They're motivated by money.

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 5: I don't need well, I do need people like that

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 5: in my life.

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 6: I don't know who are the typical clientele is for

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 6: those new to town or for those who got left behind.

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: For some under the radar city like New York.

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: They're the best thing to do, like the people telling me,

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: get a job and keep it and.

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: Hold on to it.

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 6: There's monthly subscription services that group like minded people together,

71
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 6: sort of like Hinge or Tinder, and there's others that

72
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 6: offer activities like aquarium visits, bowling to give people the

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 6: opportunity to make connections, so it's not like you're cutting

74
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 6: a check after a casual night at the bart to

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 6: the person next to you. But still Bostonians think there's better,

76
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 6: more cost free options.

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if I would pay for it so

78
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 5: much as like join a meetup or something that's free.

79
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: At the common. Jay Will at WBZ, Boston's news radio.

80
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: A lot of readings in the twenties on the map

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: this morning. In fact, here in Boston it is just

82
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: thirty two degrees and again the wind is a non

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: factor this morning, so we're in relatively decent shape. I

84
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: guess it's just colder than it should be this time

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: of year. Right again today mix the clouds and sun,

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: otherwise fairly calm, high temperatures will be in the mid forties,

87
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: and that's below average by about five or six degrees.

88
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: A few clouds around tonight, especially later on again back

89
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 3: into the twenties and thirties overnight tomorrow, a little bit

90
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 3: of a warming trend arrives in Boston. Finally, we'll get

91
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: right back to our wheelhouse in the low fifties tomorrow,

92
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: with more clouds, maybe a little bit of sun There

93
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 3: is a slight chance of some shower activity arriving overnight,

94
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: and that'll mainly be south of Boston. Any clouds overnight

95
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: on Friday will continue into early Saturday, and then we'll

96
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 3: see some sunshine. It's going to be breezy again with

97
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: a higher round fifty and pretty much the same story

98
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: for Sunday to wrap up the weekend as well. Right now,

99
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: it's just thirty two. Let's call it mostly cloudy as

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: we get set for sunrise here in Boston on this

101
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: Thursday morning, it's six oh five. After fast action in Congress,

102
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: President Trump signs the bill to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

103
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: Comes twenty four four hours after the bill was overwhelmingly

104
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: approved by Congress, despite lawmakers saying they want the files released.

105
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: It's unclear whether the public will see many of the

106
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: files or how complete they'll be. Attorney General Pam Bondi

107
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: refused to say on Wednesday how the process will play

108
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: out and what the Trump administration could decide to not release.

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 4: We will continue to follow the law with maximum transparency

110
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: while protecting victims.

111
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: Even with President Trump's signature, the Justice Department will have

112
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: thirty days to make the files public.

113
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: That's ABC's Alex Stone. The prosecution of former FBI director

114
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: James Comy is on even shakier ground this morning, after

115
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: the Trump appointed US attorney leading that case admits the

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: grand jury never saw the final revision of the indictment.

117
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: Lindsay Halligan asked by the judge to explain herself during

118
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: a court hearing. Lawyers for Komy call for case dismissed

119
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: on grounds it's nothing more than a vendetta by the

120
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: President fueled by hatred of Comy. Comy is accused of

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: lying to and obstruction of Congress in a case connected

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: to the Russian election meddling allegations of twenty sixteen. He

123
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: is pleaded not guilty, while calling for these charges to

124
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: be dropped. New report this morning suggests border patrol agents

125
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: are becoming more aggressive in their work that takes them

126
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: increasingly further away from the nation's borders. An investigation by

127
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 3: the Associated Press finds millions of American drivers are being

128
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: tracked for suspicious driving habits, with many being stopped, searched,

129
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: and even arrested. Their report shows an extensive camera network

130
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: is being used and deployed more frequently to expand President

131
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: Trump's immigration and deportation policies. And a contestant of the

132
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: Miss Universe pageant takes a big tumble as.

133
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 7: She was sauntering off the stage in a glittering orange

134
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 7: gown after her own introduction out a preliminary round, Miss

135
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 7: Jamaica stepped off the edge of the dark runway and

136
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 7: plunged to the floor. Audience members jumped out of their

137
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 7: seats to try to help Gabrielle Henry, who's a doctor

138
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 7: herself of ophthalmology. Footage posted to social media shows her

139
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 7: being carried away on a stretcher. The Miss Universe Jamaica

140
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 7: organization says she was rushed to the hospital. The group

141
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 7: says she didn't break any bones and her injuries are

142
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 7: not life threatening. No word on whether doctor Henry will

143
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 7: make it back for tomorrow's final round. Deborah Rodriguez, CBS News.
