Speaker 2: Mayor Michelle Wu didn't have much of a contest coming

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,720

00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: behind Wu's ally Henry Santana, lost to Mayor Greg Viga

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,600

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: one big, perhaps the most high profile race was in

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: New York City. That's where a young assemblyman originally from Uganda,

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,399

Speaker 3: Thirty four year old Democratic Socialists or On Mamdani is

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: now the new voice of New York. In this moment

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: of political darkness, New York will be the light. Mamdani

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: makes history as the first Muslim mayor. His campaign energized

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: New York, which had not seen turnout so high for

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: a mayoral election since nineteen sixty nine. Mamdani zeroed in

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,000

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 3: free childcare, are rent freeze, and free buses.

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: That was not the only major win for Democrats, as

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: in California, residents voter voted in favor of a redistricting

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: plan that would counter a similar GOPI led effort in Texas.

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Multiple states elected new Democratic governors. Here's ABC Stephen Portnoy.

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: In several areas, the President Trump carried or made it

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: close just a year ago. The wins have shifted, with

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikey Cheryl winning in the northern and

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: southern New Jersey suburbs and Abigail Spenberger strongly out performing

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris in northern Virginia. Exit polls in both states

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: showed voters greatly concerned about the economy and giving President

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 4: Trump poor marks for his job performance. Congressional Republicans may

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 4: see these results as a warning sign at of next

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: year's midterm election.

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: And President Trump displeased on social media. He says Republicans

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: would have enjoyed more success if he had been on

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: the ballot. He also blamed the ongoing government shutdown, which

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: is in day thirty six. He spoke about this this

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: morning at a breakfast for Republican lawmakers.

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 5: It's sih for Republicans to do what they have to do,

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 5: and that's terminate the philibuster.

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: It's the only way you can do it.

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: And if you don't terminate the philibuster, you'll be in

50
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,559
Speaker 1: bad shape. We won't pass any legislation.

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: Tens of millions of Americans still going without snap assistance

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: to federal Judges here in New England have ordered the

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: administration to use contingency funds to keep it going. President Trump,

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: though has said this week he will not do it

55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: until the government reopens. It's a bit cloudy out there

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: today and we do have some gusty winds to the

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: north and west. See, we have this clipper storm that's

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: going to be making its way north of us tonight

59
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: and tomorrow, and so that is already giving us a

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: few showers in New Hampshire and Vermont and parts of

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: mainly outer bands of that, but right now here in

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: Massachusetts we're staying dry. That being said, it will become

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: windier as we make our way through the afternoon with

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: a lot of clouds. HI today just about sixty and

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: then tonight the wind really ratchets up. We have a

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: high wind watch for most of the state and a

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: high wind warning in place for the Capan Islands and Berkshires.

68
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: The warning means that we are expecting gus up to

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: sixty miles an hour. The watch just means it's possible.

70
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: But either way, we're going to be seeing consistent winds

71
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: of about thirty to forty miles an hour, So certainly

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: expect to see some trees and power lines taken down.

73
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a couple of passing showers. We've got

Speaker 2: In Boston at eleven oh six, it is mostly cloudy

81
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: and fifty four. Data shows young people are facing a

82
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: lot of challenges due to AI as they try to

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: get a job.

84
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: Over the past three years, the researchers at Stanford have

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 5: found that entry level jobs are down thirteen percent for

86
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 5: the gen Z generation with sectors of the economy where

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 5: AI has been introduced. I'm asking people on the Boston

88
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 5: Common if gen Z has it tough these days.

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

90
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 5: There are a lot more opportunities for women than our generation.

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

92
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: I feel that they have a workaround. I haven't heard

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: anyone crying about the market and the jelp pig.

94
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 5: You can't mess with the facts. However, many economists believe

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 5: this is also just the start of AI interfering with

96
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 5: the workforce. Keeping an open mind on all opportunities available

97
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 5: and what's coming around the next corner, there's a good

98
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 5: way to stay ahead of the game when it comes

99

Speaker 2: News that number of victims will likely grow.

105
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: The reason I.

106
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: Expect the number to increase is because there were more

107
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: families than the numbers that are still looking for missing

108
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,640
