1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 1: This is WBZ Boston's news radio re defining local.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: News twenty nine degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock. Good morning,

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening. Another hit against Harvard

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: from the White House today. Here is the latest from

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: WBC's Jwills.

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: Late last night, the President said he's seeking one billion

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: from Harvard in damages for being quote strongly anti semitic. Earlier,

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: the university seemed to be in the clear of a

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 3: two hundred million dollar payment to the federal government. This

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 3: has snowball to be the largest attack on a US

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: institution over its anti semitism policies. The administration already froze

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: research funding and tried to block international students. The move

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: comes as President Trump deals with bipartisan backlash over an

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: immigration operation in Minnesota, and following approval ratings, the schools

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Board meets to discuss the impact and next steps. Jay Willett,

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: WBZ Boston's news Radio.

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: We have reached out to Harvard for comment on this

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: latest move, so far have not heard back. At eleven

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: oh one, former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have now agreed to give

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 2: depositions about their connections to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, ABC

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: Sophie Flay.

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: Neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing,

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: and they both deny having any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

25
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: They proposed alternatives to in person testimony, recently offering to

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: sit for a four hour transcribed interview, but Chairman Comber

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: bulking at that offer, claiming the former president would try

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: to run out the clock by giving unnecessarily long answers,

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: Comer saying the former president has an established record of

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: being a loquacious individual, and overnight Comer appearing skeptical that

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 4: the depositions will actually happen, saying the Clinton's council has

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: said they agree to terms, but those terms lack clarity.

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: Yet again, Democrats say the demand from the Oversight Committee

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: is a double standard, as President Trump is mentioned many

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: times in the files and has not been called to

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: testify now. One of the most recent names to surface

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: from the Epstein files was New York Giants co owner

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: Steve Tish. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked during a

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: press conference on ESPN about how the League plans to

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: respond to this.

41
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 5: We are going to look at all the facts. We're

42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 5: going to look at the context of those, We're going

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 5: to try to understand that, and we'll look at how

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 5: that falls under the policy. But I think we take

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: one step at a time. Let's get the facts first.

46
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: This press conference mostly focused on kicking off Super Bowl

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: Week in California. Eleven oh two. Police in Arizona say

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: they're trying to find the missing mother of Today's Show

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: host Savannah Guthrie, and their concerned to Nancy Guthrie might

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: have been kidnapped or somehow taken from her home by force.

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 6: Tema County Sheriff Chris Nanos says the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie,

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 6: the mother of Today's Show co host Savannah Guthrie, was

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 6: an act of foul play. Is it fair for me

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 6: to characterize this as an abduction? I believe she was abductive. Yes,

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 6: she didn't walk from there, She didn't go willingly. This

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 6: is an eighty four year old lady who in the

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 6: middle of the night was asleep, is taken from our home.

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Police say they found signs of forced entry and blood

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: in the home. Savannah Guthrie is in Tucson working with

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: police to help find her mother. She's asking for prayers

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: for the situation, and at eleven oh four, we are

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: looking at a pretty good forecast for the next few days.

63
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: I would say we've got plenty of sun for at

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: least the rest of the work week, and we've gotten

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: much warmer temperatures than we've been seeing. And by the way,

66
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: much warmer is relative, because we've got a high today

67
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: in the mid to upper thirties, but that's not really warm,

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: but for the fact that it's been so arctic lately. Yeah,

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: we'll take it for tonight, mostly cloudy, partly cloudy late,

70
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: with a lone near twenty downtown, a bit closer to

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: ten if you're outside four ninety five. But again, it

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: was sub zero last night, so we'll take this improvement

73
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: for tomorrow, more sun than clouds, breezy at times, in

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 2: a high thirty five. Thursday sun in cloud's a high

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: thirty one, and then Friday clouds and limited sun, high

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: only in the twenties. We are expecting a bit of

77
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: snow on Friday night. Right now, going to take a

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: look at our temperatures. Twenty nine degrees in Lynn, we're

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: thirty one in Plymouth. West of Boston twenty nine in Framingham.

80
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: In Boston at eleven oh five, it's partly cloudy. We're

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: up to twenty nine degrees now. People are not warming

82
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: up to all this persistent cold. Wbz's James Rojas went

83
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: to the Financial District to speak with a few people

84
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: about this.

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: It's winter, so yeah, it's cold, we get it. But

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: it's this stretch of bitter cold temperatures that's been a problem,

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, so it.

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Feel for everybody that's to walk and it is cold,

89
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: I get it.

90
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: We haven't had a day above thirty two degrees since

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: January twenty third, and for some that's way too long.

92
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: For others, we were past due for a real cold winter.

93
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised because it didn't happened in the last

94
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 6: few years. So it's about time that the cold has

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 6: come by, and thanks a little bit reality checking where

96

Speaker 7: Well, we've been through it the past couple of weeks,

98
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 7: so we'll get through it next week, I guess.
