Speaker 2: emergency preamble to safeguard a new sweeping gun law that

Speaker 2: gun supporters already are saying that local gun shops will
Speaker 2: be forced to shudder. So what does it do? The
Speaker 2: gun law bans ghost guns in the Commonwealth, and it
Speaker 2: makes it easier to remove guns from people who are
Speaker 2: a danger to themselves or others. Gun owners and Second
Speaker 2: Amendment supporters are pursuing a ballot question to repeal the law,
Speaker 2: but this move by the governor fast tracks it, putting
Speaker 2: it into place immediately to make it politically bullet proof,
Speaker 2: if you will, in the short term, but in the
Speaker 2: long term. This gun coalition tells State House News they
Speaker 2: are not altering their approach to bringing this to Massachusetts

Speaker 2: It was pretty dreary this morning, and some of you
Speaker 2: are saying, what nice day. Well, I'm seeing some sunshine,
Speaker 2: just a little sliver outside my window in the Boston
Speaker 2: Greater Boston area. And this is our forecast. Little peaks
Speaker 2: of sun maybe a pop up sprinkle, and primarily just
Speaker 2: a little bit of cloud cover. Right just like yesterday,
Speaker 2: I would say, and a high sixty four to sixty
Speaker 2: eight today. We're cloudy and cooler tonight inland in the forties,
Speaker 2: so you're going to feel that difference, and then we
Speaker 2: shoot back up and do summer like weather Thursday and Friday.

Speaker 1: Israeli military is going to present the government with a
Speaker 1: menu of options that I've told is very very likely
Speaker 1: to include attacking Iranian military installations, but also possibly its
Speaker 1: energy sector. Really depends on how far the Israeli government
Speaker 1: wants to take this, and reprisal might not be immediate.
Speaker 1: We're in the midst of the Jewish New Year. The
Speaker 1: biggest holiday of the year here, and the Israeli government
