1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: News overcast in Boston. Snow to the south and west

00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: right now at eleven o'clock. Love more in the forecast

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: coming up at about three minutes. I'm Nicole Davis. Thanks

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: for being here on this Friday morning. Here's what's happening.

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: President Trump calling it a disgrace and says he's got

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: a backup plan. Is after the Supreme Court ruled this

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: morning that most of his tariffs violate the law. Let's

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: get more in a special report from ABC News.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: It's considered a major blow to one of President Trump's

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 3: signature economic policies this term, the Supreme Court ruling that

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: most of the President's tariffs, at least seventy percent of them.

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: Are invalid.

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: Here's ABC National correspondent Stephen Portnoy.

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: It was a six to three ruling written by the

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: Chief Justice John Roberts. Says the President has asserted an

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: extraordinary power to unilaterally imposed tariffs, but he says to

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: do it, the president must identify clear congressional authorization. Roberts

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: points out no president has ever relied on the International

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs. He says the

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: law Trump is leaned on does not authorize him to

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: do it.

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 3: The White House had argued that the President was justified

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: in levying the tariffs based on that emergency powers law

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: from the nineteen seventies, but six of the nine justices

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: ruled he was not. Justices Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh all dissented.

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: This is ABC News.

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: And we are now starting to get reaction in from

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: our local lawmakers. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeting, quote, no

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: Supreme Court decision can undo the massive damage that the

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: President's chaotic tariffs have caused. She goes on to say, quote,

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: the American people paid for these tariffs, and the American

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: people should get their money back. Other stories were watching

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: a pair of government government economic reports show growth was

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: lower than expected and inflation is running higher than expected.

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: Real GDP increased at an annual rate of one point

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: four percent in the final months of last year, follow

38
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: up a third quarter that saw a four point four

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: percent rise. The Bureau of Economic Analysis says declines in

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: government spending were offset by increased spending on the part

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 4: of consumers. A separate report showed inflation as measured by

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: the Federal reserves preferred PCE gage running slightly higher than expected.

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Not is ABC's Jim Ryan. Meantime, at the White House,

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: President Trump hosting a bipartisan working breakfast for governors, but

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: Massachusetts Governor more Heally wasn't there. Instead, she skipped the

46
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: event and will skip a dinner tomorrow night, saying President

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Trump has quote completely politicized events that have happened for years.

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: She's talking about a move by the National Governor's Association

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: to pull out a facilitating that annual meeting at the

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: White House. They did so after the President disinvited two

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: Democratic governors, Jared Poulis of Colorado and Wesmore of Maryland,

52
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: the group saying it quote cannot participate in a meeting

53
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: that does not welcome all governors. Other local Democratic governors,

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: including Ned Lamon of Connecticut and Janet Mills of Maine,

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: are at the meeting today at the White House, but

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: they are not going to the dinner. It's going to

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: be a bit of a snowy and sleety day out there,

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: even some rain coming in later on. As we start

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: to see this latest system come into our part of

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: the woods, we are starting to see this snow line

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: making its way over toward the south shore, coming up

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: along Route three, over toward Braintree and just to the

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: west of the Expressway, and we're starting to see that

64
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: snow coming into parts of Essex and Middlesex County as well.

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: So for the rest of the day, we will see

66
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: a high in the mid to upper thirties if you're

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: close to the coast, but many of us away from

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: the coast will struggle to make it over freezing, and

69
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: that means we're expecting a little bit more snow in

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: those parts of the state than we are here in

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: the Greater Boston area. For tonight, once all this moves out,

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: will see about one to three inches of snow in

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: Greater Boston three to six inches if you're north and

74
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: west of four ninety five. Could see a little bit

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: of a glaze on top of that as well, and

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: then to the south maybe a coding to an inch

77
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: because that changeover to snow will be significantly delayed. We've

78
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: got a low near thirty for tomorrow, leftover flurries, a

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: high year thirty five. Sunday, mostly cloudy, a high thirty five.

80
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: We're watching that potential nor'easter coming in on Sunday night.

81
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: At this point the forecast, it looks like we are

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: getting a little bit of snow at least, But as

83
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: we make our way closer to Sunday here on WBZ,

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: we'll keep you posted with just how much. Right now,

86
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,320

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: In Boston it's overcast right now and thirty six.

88
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 5: Well.

89
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: The Red Sox are taking on Northeastern today in Florida.

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 6: Fort Myers, Florida, where we expect bright sunshine and hot

Speaker 6: manager Alex Cora.

94
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: The more the better.

95
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: We learned that last year.

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 5: You know, we have to call up some kids that, yeah,

97
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 5: they're very talented, but when never expect the expect them

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,360

Speaker 2: US women's hockey team earned a big gold medal in

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,760

117
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,880

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,120

126
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: making her the all time points leader in US women's

127
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,640

Speaker 4: and Alyssa Lou back onto the ice for a final

133
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 4: turn at the Winter Games. Levito struggled and finished in

134
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: twelve place. Glenn rebounded from a heartbreaking short program to

135
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 4: take fifth, But it was twenty year old Alyssa Lou

136
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: who won gold after deciding four years ago to hang

137
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: up her skates, but then returning to the ice a
