00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:11.359
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Hello

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Monday at six o'clock and we're right back at it

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>this morning, and we're getting started under cloudy sky's kind

4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of a damp feel again to the air. It's thirty

5
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>six degrees in Boston. The News at six brought to

6
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>us by your New England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all

7
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 1>wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for starting your work week with us.

8
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jeff Brown. Monday. You want a mulligan, Claudy.

9
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 2>We'll see periods of rain, especially from late morning on.

10
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>At is WBZ Actually weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Maybe some

11
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>snowflakes as well. It's going to be much better and

12
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit milder tomorrow. New US tariffs are expected

13
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to kick in next week, but the White House is

14
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>apparently taking a bit of a step back. President Trump

15
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 1>narrows his approach to the new levee set to begin

16
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 1>a week from Wednesday, leaving out industry specific tariffs. But

17
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue to roll out what is considered retaliatory tariffs

18
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 1>all around the world. It's called Liberation Day. April second.

19
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg reports the President is expected to plow forward by

20
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 1>hitting back on countries that already charge the US what

21
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 1>he considers unfair prices, but the White House is expected

22
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to hold off on those related to specific industries, which

23
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>once again puts plans for Canada and Mexico very much

24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in doubt. Easter might come with a cost this year.

25
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>The annual White House Easter egg Roll is looking for

26
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>corporate sponsorships for this year's event on the South Lawn.

27
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Seventy five thousand to two hundred thousand dollars will get

28
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you logo and branding opportunities. The egg roll became a

29
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>tradition shortly after the Civil War and has remained privately

30
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>funded with no taxpayer dollars ever since. Plans are that

31
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>all proceeds from this year's event will go to the

32
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>White House Historical Association. A Lifetime of Laughs Comedy casts

33
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 1>its spell on Conan O'Brien.

34
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 3>You are, in fact, my friend, one of the quickest, smartest,

35
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 3>funniest mind I've ever come across.

36
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 4>Will Ferrell, a previous winner of the Mark Twain Prize

37
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 4>for American Humor, handed this year's award to Conan O'Brien

38
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 4>at the Kennedy Center. Accept this award in this spirit

39
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 4>of humility, stupidity and nanity, irrelevance.

40
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Fear, self doubt, and profound unceasing silliness.

41
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 4>The new chairman of the Kennedy Center Board, President Trump

42
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 4>didn't go unmentioned.

43
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Only he knows his priority's best and there's a lot

44
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>going on in the world, but probably taking control of

45
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the Kennedy Center should be at the top of the list.

46
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Tonan's only regret. I loves my parents in December, within

47
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 4>three days to each other.

48
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I would have loved this one.

50
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball becomes the latest to wipe out its

51
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>DEI initiatives. The career's website page removes any references to diversity,

52
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 1>a reaction to President Trump's moves to upend recruiting efforts.

53
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 1>The change appears on the Major League Baseball page previously

54
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>known as the Diversity Pipeline Program, which Commissioner Rob Manfred

55
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>launched nine years ago. Official say, however, the league's values

56
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 1>ain't the same, and a tiger tamed on the dating scene.

57
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Tiger Woods has posted photos on social media confirming he's

58
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>dating Vanessa Trump, the former daughter in law of the President.

59
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>In one of them. She is cuddling with him on

60
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>a hammock. She was married to Donald Trump Junior for

61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>twelve years and they have five children together. The photos

62
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 2>for the world to see are reminiscent of twenty thirteen,

63
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>when he and Lindsay Vaughn both posted photos of them

64
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 2>together to confirm they were dating Woods. At the time,

65
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>he and Vaughn wanted to limit this Stoker Rozzi. Both

66
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Woods and Vanessa Trump's children attend the same Palm Beach School.

68
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Quick look at the radar this morning tells you pretty

69
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 1>much everything we need to know or starting to see

70
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>some snowfall and portions of western MASSACHUSETTSS headed this way

71
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>throughout the morning where it's going to be messy. A

72
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit later on, we're going to see some rain.

73
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Here in Greater Boston, we might see a couple of

74
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 1>snowflakes mixed in as temperatures really struggle to get out

75
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 1>of the thirties this morning. Right now, it's thirty six degrees.

76
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Tempts will be in the mid forties by this afternoon. However,

77
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 1>overnight tonight the shower remains a possibility. The heaviest rain

78
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 1>by the way will come this afternoon in Greater Boston

79
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and the showers will linger into the overnight hours. Tomorrow

80
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's a mix of sun and clouds with

81
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 1>high temperatures in the mid fifties, and we're back and

82
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>forth this week. We're only in the mid forties on Wednesday,

83
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>but we'll bounce back into the fifties as we head

84
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>towards the weekend. Right now in Boston it is thirty

85
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>six degrees and mostly cloudy skies at six oh five

86
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>on this Monday morning. So this is spring.

87
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 3>We've waved goodbye to the winter season, but we're all

88
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 3>still bundled up already.

89
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 4>So cold here.

90
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is unbearable flashes of some nicer weather, However,

91
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 3>a warm spring doesn't want to stick around just yet.

92
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 3>And as we get a new week, gusty winds, rain,

93
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 3>and there's even a little snow flying around for some

94
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 3>of us, shorts aren't exactly on the radar just yet,

95
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>despite what some of us are hoping for for it.

96
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 5>To be this cold in mid March.

97
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 3>Let's just hope we turn the tide as we close

98
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 3>in on a new month.

99
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, hopefully it will be snowing in April early spring.

105
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 5>Metro households that's Boston, Cambridge and Newton paid thirty and

106
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 5>a half cents per kilowatt hour last December. That's more

107
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 5>than seventy three percent higher than the national average cost

108
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 5>of just eighteen cents per kilowatt hour. The Bureau also

109
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 5>shows at natural gas prices last December for Bostonians worth

110
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 5>sixty five percent higher than the national average. New England

111
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 5>relies heavily on natural gas imported from Canada, causing fears

112
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 5>that if more tariffs are imposed on energy and Canada,

113
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 5>prices will likely rise even higher in the region. Sherry
