00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 2>News, sun and clouds and cool but nice is fifty

3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:16.239
<v Speaker 2>two degrees in Boston.

4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 3>It's eleven o'clock. Good Morning on Laurie Kirby. We start

5
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 3>with early voting starting this Saturday. In Massachusetts. Bear Sky's

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>two to get out the vote, and those four and

7
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>against Measure two are speaking out. WBC. Sherry Small explains.

8
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 4>Governor Moore Healy attending a No on Question two event

9
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 4>in Roxbury on Wednesday, saying eliminating the MCAST requirement for

10
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 4>graduation would be a mistake for Massachusetts.

11
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 5>Question two, in our view, would eliminate a tool that

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 5>we know works in terms of our ability to assess

13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 5>how our young people are doing, and frankly, what additional

14
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 5>supports districts and schools need.

15
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 4>The vote No on two campaign says, if passed, it

16
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 4>could replace the MCAST with more than three hundred different

17
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 4>and unequal standards.

18
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 5>I don't believe that the standards should be different for

19
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 5>students in our state depending on what zip code they're

20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 5>living in or attending school here.

21
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 4>The Yes on two campaign released a statement saying it's

22
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 4>disappointing that Governor Healy has chosen to side with a

23
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 4>few corporate donors opposing Question two and against Massachusetts educators,

24
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 4>parents and students. Sherry Small WBZ, Boston's News radio.

25
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Vice president Kamala Harris sits down for an interview on

26
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Fox News ABC's Mary Bruce with Moore on last night's events.

27
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 6>This was the first time she has sat down with

28
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 6>Fox News, and it comes as she's trying to really

29
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 6>win over disillusioned Republicans, those small, small sliver of voters

30
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 6>that may still be persuaded with just nineteen days now

31
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 6>left to go. And she was pressed on her record

32
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 6>on immigration, the economy, foreign policy, and a lot of

33
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 6>what are essentially Donald Trump's talking points in this race

34
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 6>as well. But Harris pushed back and she's really trying

35
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 6>to cast herself as a candidate of change.

36
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 3>The interview took planes a Harris rally in Pennsylvania, where

37
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 3>she was joined by dozens of Republicans, including former GOP

38
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 3>lawmakers and ex Trump supporters. Meantime, on to former President Trump,

39
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 3>he spoke at a town hall event on Univision and

40
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 3>he was asked about the January sixth Capitol riots. Trump

41
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 3>said his supporters quote didn't come because of me. They

42
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 3>came because of the election. Yours ABC's Rachel Scott the reality.

43
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 5>Trump urged his supporters to travel to Washington, promising it

44
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 5>will be wild.

45
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>He waited for hours to call.

46
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 4>Off the mob.

47
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 3>More than one hundred and forty police officers were assaulted

48
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 3>by rioters. He's now to part in those who have

49
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 3>been convicted, and Trump will hold a campaign rally tomorrow

50
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 3>in Detroit before heading to Pennsylvania this weekend. Updating the

51
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 3>story we've been covering on WBZ News Radio out of

52
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 3>the town of Hanson, Hanson is considering further steps to

53
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 3>find a resident who has been projecting a Trump twenty

54
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 3>twenty four logo on their town's water tower since last week.

55
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Well.

56
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 3>The town issued that cease and desist order to that

57
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 3>resident on Saturday, saying the projection violates the town's sign

58
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 3>rigs that banned political messages on municipal property. They also

59
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 3>hit the resident with fines one hundred bucks for every

60
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 3>day that Trump logo is projected. Town administrator Lisa Green

61
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 3>says the select board met this week to talk about

62
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 3>what to do whether they should pursue legal action here.

63
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 3>Hanson is also using three separate spotlights to combat the

64
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 3>Trump logo from dusk to dawn. I bet you're seeing

65
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 3>those winter hats with the little ball on the top

66
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 3>in Pittsfield right now, and also the Berkshires that whole area,

67
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 3>because you guys are in the thirties. What about last night, boy,

68
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 3>it was freezing literally right now, I am seeing warmer

69
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Tempson Norwood where it's fifty one in sunny Lauren's fifty

70
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 3>one and sunny, a little bit cloudy on Cape Cod.

71
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 3>We're looking at clouds in Hyannas where it's fifty two.

72
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 3>So the rest of the day will be sun in clouds,

73
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 3>high sixty at best, and again very clear and breezy

74
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 3>and cold tonight in those same inland and western areas,

75
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 3>upper thirties there in the forties. In Boston, look out,

76
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 3>break out the shorts, even the flip flops. By Sunday

77
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 3>it'll be sunny in seventy five degrees. This is a

78
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 3>ramp up and it starts tomorrow. More coming up and

79
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 3>it's also a big night tonight at the MGA Music Hall.

80

<v Speaker 3>This is the annual fundraiser for the Boston Arts Academy.

81
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Wbz's Carl Stevens says this is going to be a

82
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:42.720

88
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>at the Arts Academy every day.

89
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 4>This is an organization that's really close to my heart

90
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 4>because of my own mentorship program that I have that

91
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 4>empowers students or kids from thirteen to eighteen in the

92
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:12.439
