<v Speaker 3>Texas Governor Greg Abbott called this mass casualty event totally unpredictable,

10
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 3>with not even the National Weather Service forecasting how much

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 3>rain we actually received. The Guadaloupe River rose twenty six

12

20
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>president to get it to his desk.

21
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 4>The nearly one thousand page bill the cornerstone of Trump's agenda.

22
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Republicans in Congress narrowly passing it after Trump arm twisted

23
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 4>and charmed holdouts in his own party. All but two

24
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 4>House Republicans ended up voting for the bill, despite anger

25
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 4>that it could add three point four trillion dollars to

26
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 4>the debt over the next decade and estimates that steep

27
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 4>cuts to Medicaid could force eleven point eight million Americans

28
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 4>to lose their health insurance.

29
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Democrats hoping to use passage of the bill to motivate

30
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.519

33
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>trimming one hundred and thirty million dollars in spending before

34
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 2>adding her signature. Some of that money will would have

35
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>gone to pay for coverage for obesity drugs for state employees.

36
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Also cut was a fund to expand mass health nursing

37
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>home rates. The governor also filing a bill that would

38
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>give her Office the authority to make spending cuts during

39
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>the upcoming fiscal year. A Hollywood a lister celebrates the

00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>fourth of July in Arlington, where he has a revolutionary ancestor.

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>He WBC's Mike Macklin that day, that.

42
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 5>Moment the world changed.

44
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 6>the historic colonial homestead where, on April nineteenth, seventeen seventy five,

45
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 6>his eighth generation ancestor, Jason Russell, was killed in battle

46
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 6>fighting British troops retreating from Lexington and Concrete on the

47
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 6>first day of the American Revolution.

48
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 5>What's interesting is that when you get to understanding some

49
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 5>of it, it leads you to where who these people

50
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 5>were and why they had the attitude they had on

51
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 5>both sides.

52
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 6>Jason Russell was shot and bayonetted to death on his

53
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 6>doorstep defending family and freedom.

54
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 5>And the tragedy yes finished there, but it's that stuff

55
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 5>that we that we think about. And I look at

56
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 5>that and say, it's the things that led up to

57
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 5>it that I'd like.

58
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 6>To really know about it, know about and perhaps make

59
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 6>a movie about.

60
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>That movie is.

61
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 5>The one that I would want to see.

62
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 1>And I wouldn't mind playing.

63
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 5>Jason Foss.

64
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 6>In Arlington. Mike Maclin, WBZ Boston's news radio, thank you.

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>that Troy Thornton tells us. Today will be warm, but

67
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>again the humidity expected to remain low. Another nice day,

68
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>sun cloud's high eighty two to eighty six, closer to

69
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.319
<v Speaker 2>eighty or a high on the Cape, partly cloudy's sixties

70
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>overnight tonight, and then we flipped the switch tomorrow. A

71
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 2>heat advisory goes into effect tomorrow morning at seven o'clock

72
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>continues until eight o'clock on Monday night. So Tomorrow a hot,

73
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>humid day, sunclouds, high ninety three. Monday pretty much the

74
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>same deal, low nineties in Boston, even eighty five for

75
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the South Coast and eighty for the Cape and the Islands.

76
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>On Monday Tuesday a little bit better of some clouds

77
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 2>and maybe a thunderstorm and a high only only eighty

78
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday, sixty six right now in Boston at six

79
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>oh five. So now that the fourth of July is over,

80
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the rush to get home will heat up tomorrow.

81
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 7>TSA Spokespirst in Jessica Meylee says security checkpoints are prepared

82
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 7>for the surge of flyers trying to get home.

83
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 8>I think sometimes the departures are spread out, but that

84
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 8>return is a little more concentrated. So if you're flying

85
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 8>on Sunday, July six, pretty much anywhere.

86
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 6>Across the country, make sure you give yourself.

87
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.480

90
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 7>on the roads as a majority of the sixty one

91
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 7>million people driving try to return home.

92
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Tens of millions will hit the road for the fourth

93
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>The good news is the prices at the gas pump

94
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:07.240

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes parts of the years has been very low and

100
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.160
<v Speaker 3>it has been very economical to travel, and then sometimes

101
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 3>it can get up there used when the gas prices rise,

102
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 3>but it.

103
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Hadn't been too bad.

104
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 5>It's been pretty steady over these past couple months in

105
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:29.199

110
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.000

111
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:48.079
