1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: This is WBZ in Boston's news radio, redefining local news

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: fifty four degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. To call it a

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: SNAP decision or call it a lifeline for SNAP. The

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Trump administration says SNAP will be partially funded after a

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: judges ruling required food aid programs to continue. The government

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: held the view that it couldn't do so during the shutdown.

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: Filing in Rhode Island federal court, the Trump administration said

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: snap's contingency fund only has about four and a half

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: billion dollars left, enough to cover roughly half of November's need.

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: The USDA says it will begin advising states of the

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: reduced payouts, but an agency official warrant that adjusting state

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: systems to account for that could take weeks, if not

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: several months.

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: Out of ABC, Stephen Portnoy, It's day thirty four of

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: the federal government shutdown, and no plans today for the

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Senate to vote on a funding measure to end it.

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Another of the many side effects of the shutdowns been

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: air travel woes. Efforts to keep things going smoothly has

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: been tough.

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: Air traffic controllers and airport security officers have been declared

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: essential personnel in order to keep working with or without

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: a paycheck, but some TSA agents have been calling in sick,

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: creating massive lines and security checkpoints. Passengers flying out of

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: Houston's Bush inter Continental Airport Sunday waited more than three

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: hours in lines that extended through the terminal, out the door,

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: and down the sidewalk. Jim Ryan abcniors.

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Hey Canton police sergeants has been placed unpaid administrative leave

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: following allegations of misconducts. The town and the police department

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: have now identified the officer as Sean Good, who is

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: now the subject of an internal affairs investigation. The town

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: says Good was placed on leave Friday, but hasn't released

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: more details on the allegations. Good was one of the

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: many officers who testified during the Karen Reid trial. It's

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: unclear if the misconduct is connected to that case. Stay

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: out of Oregon. That's what a federal judge continues to

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: tell the Trump administration when it came comes to sending

38
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: National Guard troops into Portland.

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 4: The new preliminary injunction prohibits the deployment of troops into

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 4: Portland through at least Friday. It follows a three day

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 4: trial from last week, with US District Judge Karen Immerget

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: writing that no credible evidence was revealed in testimony that

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: protests in the city grew out of control. She adds

44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 4: that the Trump administration likely infringed on the state sovereignty

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 4: of Oregon. It comes after the same judge blocked National

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: Guard troops from Oregon, then California, and Texas from deploying

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 4: to the city. Mike Debuski ABC News for now Senator

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: at Marque's job seems to be safe. A UMAs Amherst

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 4: poll shows Marky with a nineteen point lead over challenger

50
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: Congressman Seth Moulton. These numbers change up, though, if the

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: dynamics of the race change. If Congresswoman Honor Presley were

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 4: to join the race, for example, Markey's lead over Molten

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: drops to seven. In that matchup, Marky would have thirty

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: one percent support, Moulten twenty four, Pressley twenty There is

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: about a six percent margin of error in this pole,

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 4: and with the pole tossing around other possible added candidates,

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 4: including people like Representative Joe Marky and Boston Mayor Michelle

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: Woo MARKI would still hold a lead the poll conducted

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: by you goov of some eight hundred adults from Massachusetts,

60
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: about half of whom are likely Democratic primary voters. Might

61
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 4: want to test out that umbrella as you're heading out

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: this evening. We have some showers already. They're mainly confined

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: to the south shore, south coast, Cape and islands, and

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 4: mostly the Cape and islands. Really, there's a few scattered

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: sprinkles in a few places as you head inland, and

66
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: then there's another party behind it that is out in

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: New York State and it is heading in our direction.

68
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: So a few showers moving through now and maybe a

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: little bit later on as well, although this will not

70
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: be anything major, but enough to perhaps have rain drops

71
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: falling on your head. Tonight forty five for the low,

72
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: with clearing skies eventually late tonight and then blustery cool tomorrow,

73
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: some sunshine fifty eight Wednesday, clouds and sun windy temperatures

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: near sixty'll make it feel like it's in the fifties,

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: and we'll have a few showers around Wednesday night to

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: go with the wind, partly to mostly sunny on Thursday,

77
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: still windy temperatures in the low fifties right now fifty

78
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: four degrees in Boston. This Fourth of July is going

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: to be bigger than ever. Governor Moorehey and others announcing

00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 4: plan to celebrate two hundred and fifty years of America.

00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 7: from putting up holiday decorations before we sit down for

109
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,960

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: No, it's never too earl, and it's almost kind of

111
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: like bypassing Thanksgiving.

112
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 7: I always believe that decorations should be put up after Thanksgiving,

113
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,120
