Speaker 2: right into the fall, but Clarkson says she wants to

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: prioritize her children. She's got an eleven year old daughter

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: and a nine year old son, and we all know

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: the tween years can be very tough. Clarkson and still

Speaker 3: It's a very safe neighborhood.

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,920

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: The family is asking people who live nearby to go

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: through their own security camera footage from the weekend, especially

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: from the early hours of Sunday morning. Keep looking. You

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: never know what you see. It may be maybe it's

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: just a pair of headlights. But if you see something

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: that just doesn't seem right in that neighborhood, please let

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: us know. The Guthrie family is active in the Tucson community.

35

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: show Sunday night, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says Bad

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 4: Bunny knows the gig.

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 5: Bad Benny is one of the great artists in the world,

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 5: and that's one of the reasons to be chosen. But

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 5: the other reason is he understood the platform he was on,

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: and that was this platform is to use to unite people.

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: The commission was asked at Media Day whether he was

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: concerned about the comments at the Grammys which mentioned ice

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 4: and all that stuff. Meantime, an alternative is taking shape.

Speaker 4: Turning Point USA roles its lineup for the All American

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,600

00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Yeah.

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: The rollout includes country stars Brantley Golbert and Lee Rice.

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: They get the call for this thing. Founded by the

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 4: late Charlie Kirk, Turning Point announced its counter programming in October.

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: As for the Super Bowl, President Trump will not be there.

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 4: He says the Santa Clara Stadium is too far to

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: travel too, plus he's not a fan of the halftime

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: show there.

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: Well, there it is, right, yeah, all right, true, thank you.

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: We can certainly use a break from this bitter cold

65
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: of the winter so far, and it looks like the

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: next couple of days we're going to get it. Temperatures

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: today going to be in the mid to upper thirties,

68
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: nice day from start to finish, two clear skies. Right

69
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: now it's twenty not as harsh as yesterday, and again

70
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: we'll be in the mid thirties today, but under the

71
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: mainly clear skies, we'll drop back into the teens overnight tonight,

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: more sun than clouds. Tomorrow, again in the mid thirties,

73
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: and even looking forward to Thursday and Friday, it looks

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: like we'll see temperatures right around the freezing mark both days,

75
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: although it could be slightly colder on Friday. We're watching

76
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: a clipper system that could impact us late Friday afternoon

77
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: into the overnight hours, and it might even extend into

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: Saturday morning. How much snow this clipper system is not

79
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: clear yet, but it certainly is going to set the

80
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: stage for a very bitter cold weekend. Some are saying

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: this could be even colder than last weekend. Right now,

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: it's twenty clear skies in Boston at six oh five

83
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: on this Tuesday morning, going up.

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 5: So late.

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: Just a couple of weeks after Governor Mark Healey promised

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: to break on our utility bills, another increase by National

87
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: Grid is in the works.

88
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 6: National Grid has proposed updated gas distribution rates that could

89
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 6: raise bills come December this year.

90
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean it is what it is.

91
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 6: Put a scoch differently. It ticks people off.

92
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 7: You look at you bill and you say, oh, I

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 7: only use seventy dollars, but then there's one hundred plus.

94
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: Dollar charge for them to do maintenance.

95
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 6: According to a statement from the utility, their highest priority

96
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 6: is delivering energy safely, reliably, and affordably, and these updates

97
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 6: will ensure they can strengthen the system we rely on

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 6: while managing cost. Chris Voman, WBZ Boston's news radio.

99
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: Cover up at South Station weeks after Commuter Rail officials

100
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: take the lid off some new technology.

101
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: Last week's winter storm packed a heavier punch than expected,

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: so much so that South Station's fairgates have been taken

103
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: out of service. It's been around thirty five days since

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: the new gates became active, but this is the latest

105
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: hiccup in their rollout. Writers have had mixed opinions on

106
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: the devices meant to cut down on fair evaders. Meanwhile,

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: a Kiola spokesperson says they are assessing the impacts from

108
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: the snow and taking necessary actions to return the gates

109
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: to service. At South Station, James drohas WBZ Boston's news radio.

Speaker 2: eye when Cupid fires his arrow.

112
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 7: For many, Valentine's Day shopping is now much more than

113
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 7: just romance. That's the finding of a new survey from

114
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 7: the e commerce platform Lightspeed. Commerce company spokesman Ryan Tca.

115
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: And the older generations, it's very romantic and it definitely

116
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: leans into spending for a partner.

117
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: But if you're looking at younger.

118
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: Generations, so those Gen zs and those early millennials, they're

119
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: more likely to go out and spend money on themselves.

120
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 7: The survey filed that one in five people plan to

121
