39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: that snake back and forth to die down.

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,840

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: heading back after New Year's is what I thought.

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040

00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: get done when it comes to peace with Ukraine in Russia,

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: but one deal still remains to be seen. The President

52
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: meet with Vladimir Zelensky on Sunday at mar Lago, saying

53
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: he also spoke by phone for two and a half

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: hours with Russian President Vladimir Putin before he met with

55
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian leader. The President also suggested after the meeting

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: that he could even visit the Ukrainian Parliament, hoping to

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: sway them on seating some land of the Dawn Boss

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: region to Russia. Now. The President today also has another

59
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: important meeting set for mar Lago with Israeli Prime Minister

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: Benjamin Netan yahoo the US, of course brokering that peace

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: deal between Israel and Hamas. It has been very shaky though,

62
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: and the US is trying to advance that into phase two.

63
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: Some scattered rain showers. Some of us are below that

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: freezing mark, but for others we are starting to inch

65
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: up towards forty degrees. Right now. It's going to be

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: a warmer and rainy day. There's going to be a

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: whole lot of snow melt going on, and eventually that

68
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: slipperiness that we're going to be feeling here before a

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: morning sunrise will start to subside and we'll just have

70
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: cascading water all over the place with all that snow melt.

71
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: We're into the forties today, back down in the twenties tonight.

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: We're feeling like the single digits tomorrow. So if you

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: thought we had some break in the action here before

74
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: the New Year in terms of a few extended days

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: of warmer air, that is not the case. Freezing right

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: back up tonight tomorrow, and then New Year's Eve as

77

00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: the moment, thirty eight and cloudy in Boston at six

80
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,840

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,480

Speaker 3: an issue we want to make you aware of. Dylan

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,240

87
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: drive four hundred thousand dollars of frozen lobster from a

88
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: warehouse in Taunton to the Midwest. But as soon as

89
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: the thieves got the product in hand, they vanished. Yeah,

90
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: they turned the tracking off shortly after picking up the product,

91
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: which we is kind of a telltale sign that something's

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: not right, Dylan says, steph like this only hurts the consumer,

93
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: driving up prices.

94
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,400

Speaker 3: Cargo theft is underreported but extremely common and has been

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: getting worse since the pandemic. It happens every day, seven
