<v Speaker 1>Call it coincidence or call it luck, but these folks

18
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>had the right idea for the holiday weekend traveling to Florida. Florida. Yeah,

19
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.520

44
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 2>squeak through the President's massive tax and spending bill, passing

45
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>that measure by just a single vote. Your CBS's Caitlin

<v Speaker 2>Huey burns.

47
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 3>It cuts billions in federal spending to medicaid, foodstams, and

48
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 3>energy subsidies. It also increases spending though on defense and

49
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 3>immigration enforcement, and it extends makes permanent Trump's tax cuts

50
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 3>that he passed during his first term, and also delivers

51
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 3>on a key campaign promise to eliminate tax on tips

52
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 3>and overtime pay.

53
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>The bill now off to the Senate, where some Republicans

54
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>have already said they're opposed to the measure as written. Well,

55
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>it is certainly going to be a very wet and

56
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>blustery day we have in nor'easter that has pretty much arrived,

57
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>and it's only going to keep ramping up throughout the

58
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>morning into the afternoon. All of us seeing rain at

59
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>this point, some of it heavier than others, especially on

60
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 2>the south coast. Right now you're seeing some very heavy downpours,

61
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>and same situation on the islands. Martha's Vineyard seeing torrential

65
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>way through the day, the winds are going to start

66
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>howling up to about fifty miles an hour by the coast,

67
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and later on tonight we could have some coastal flood

68
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 2>problems out there. Minor splash over as we get toward

69
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 2>high Tie between six and eleven, but still enough to

70
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 2>be a bit of a nuisance if you're right on

71
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the water. All this moving out through the overnight, temperatures

72
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 2>holding today in the forties. Tomorrow we will see a

73
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>bit of steadier rain coming back later in the day,

74
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 2>but a couple of showers from most of our Friday

<v Speaker 2>high in the upper fifties, and believe it or not,

78
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>we've got some sun coming on Sunday. We'll take that

85
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>tap their alumni for donations. For Harvard, though their newest

86
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>donation pitch involves taking on the Trump administration.

87
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 5>Harvard President Alan Garber announced the launch of an alumni fund,

88
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 5>hoping they can rake in some major donations to make

89
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 5>up for the millions they've lost in research funding slashed

90
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 5>by the Trump administration.

91
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 2>I think it shows like their integrity and their.

92
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 5>Commitments around Harvard Square. Students are supportive of the school,

93
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 5>not buckling to the demands when it comes to changing

94
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 5>campus culture and eliminating certain programs, but the loss of

95
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 5>funding is having a big effect.

96
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 3>Especially because they're doing a lot of important research.

97
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 4>I think that it's important to stand your ground.

98
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 5>And this is all happening one week outside of Harvard's commencement,

99
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 5>where many alumni will be heading to Cambridge in the

100
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 5>coming days.

101
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:37.199
