Speaker 1: the officials say, remember if it sounds too good to

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,519

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,000

Speaker 1: said to be doing well. Fewer than seven thousand cheetahs

57
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: remain in the wild This birth prompts Zoo officials to

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: announce it's perfect news. We are currently sitting at thirty

59
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: four degrees, which is one of the warmest spots on

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: the map. We're seeing several readings in the twenties this morning,

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,880

64
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: We're already seeing gusts about thirty miles per hour, so

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: high temperatures will be in the mid forties today, but

66
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: it won't feel anywhere near that later on overnight. Tonight,

67
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: clear breezy blows right around, freezing in Boston, colder elsewhere. Tomorrow,

68
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: another chilly day with a mixture of some sun and

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: clouds continued breezy highs will be in the mid forties.

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,960

71
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: the theme here attempts mainly in the forties as we

72
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: get started on this final full week before Thanksgiving. Right

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: now in Boston, let's call it mainly clear skies coming

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: up on sunrise. It's thirty four here in the sitting

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: six oh five on this Monday morning. In a late

76
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: weekend one to eighty from the White House, President Trump

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: is now urging Republicans in the House to vote for

78
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: the release of all of the Jeffrey Epstein file.

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey, the lead Republican co sponsor of

80
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: the bill, says he expects strong GOP support, saying lawmakers

81
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: must choose between the political protection of the president and

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,119
Speaker 3: the expectations of their constituents.

83
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: You will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: vote to release these files.

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 3: If this vote passes in the House, it would still

86
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: need to clear the Senate, and Trump is unlikely to

87
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: sign it. Congressman Massi says he's hoping to get a

88
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: veto proof majority on the legislation when the House votes.

89
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: ABC's Allison Kosik Patting your Pockets requires an Act of Congress.

90
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Some clarification this morning from the White House, which says

91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: President Trump's promise to send Americans two thousand dollars from

92
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: tariff proceeds will not happen without a bill passed on

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson tells Fox News this

94
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: weekend the promise runs head on into an obstacle. It

95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: has not been made clear who exactly would be eligible

96
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: for the Stalking Stuffer, but a suggestion is it would

97
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: be intended for low and middle income families. College campuses

98
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,720

101
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: by the Institute for International Education, which adds this is

102
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: a direct result to President Trump's immigration policies. Over All,

103
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: the groups says the number of international students who remain

104
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: on college campuses is nearly steady, with a modest one

105
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: percent decline over the last academic year. Experts say the

106
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: current downturns could represent steeper decreases in the coming years.
