00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Light snow coming down thirty three degrees in Boston on

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 2>this Friday morning. It's eleven o'clock, December twentieth. Hello, I'm

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Sherry Small. Here's what's happening. Congress racing against the clock

5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 2>to pass the funding bill and avoid a government shutdown.

6
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Lawmakers appear to have reached a deal earlier this week,

7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 2>but scathing social media posts from the President elect and

8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk proved death blows for the bill. Now, mister

9
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Trump is speaking out again.

10
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 3>In a post on truth social the President elect said,

11
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 3>if there's going to be a shutdown of the government,

12
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 3>let it begin now under the Biden administration, not after

13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 3>January twentieth under Trump. He added, this is a Biden

14
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 3>problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it,

15
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 3>they will.

16
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's CBS's Stacy Lynn reporting. How Speaker Mike Johnson meanwhile,

17
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>has said that he was expecting a vote on a

18
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 2>new deal this morning. We've yet to hear word of

19
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>any such movement. Will continue to monitor this and bring

20
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you the latest developments as they break. If you're away

21
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 2>from your radio, bring us with you on the go

22
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 2>with the iHeartRadio app stick. Our shock appears to be

23
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>wearing off. New data shows the Federal Reserves preferred inflation

24
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>gauge barely inched up last month. Prices rose just one

25
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 2>tenth of a percent from October to November. That news

26
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>comes just days after the FED announced its third interest

27
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>rate cut of the year. This week, FED cher Jerome

28
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Powell says that they're eyeing a less active twenty twenty five,

29
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>with just two cuts on the agenda for next year.

30
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Celtic star Jalen Brown speaking out for the first time

31
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>about a break in at his mother's home in Wellesley

32
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>this week, CBS News Boston's Brandon Truitt has more.

33
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, obviously, to go through that experience and you know,

34
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 4>you know, people still in there, still in the crib

35
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 4>and stuff like that, it just makes you think about

36
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 4>some things differently.

37
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 5>For the first time. Jalen Brown speaking about the break

38
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 5>in at his mother's home. It happened on Sunday, when

39
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 5>the team was away for a game. Police say Brown's

40
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 5>mother was home at the time but is uninjured. Officers

41
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 5>found a broken window, but they say it doesn't appear

42
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 5>anything is missing.

43
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Serious or physical or threatening appen with the fact that

44
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 4>it could have, you know, it's just kind of lingers in.

45
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 5>Mr WBZ. Sources also say on that same night, assistant

46
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 5>coach Emil Jefferson's Newton home was also hit. Thieves getting

47
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 5>away with this. Twenty twenty four Championship ring head coach

48
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 5>Joe Mizula addressing it all before Thursday's game.

49
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 4>You may see it have it around different sports, and

50
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 4>you're obviously aware of it, but when it happens to you,

51
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 4>you have an understanding of their risk there. So we're

52
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 4>just happy that.

53
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>They're saved, and police say the investigation on both incidents

54
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>are ongoing. A massive jackpot is on the line in

55
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>tonight's Mega Million strawing.

56
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Now it's not quite a billion dollars, but it's close.

57
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>The Mega Million's jackpot is soaring to eight hundred and

58
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty five million dollars for tonight's drawing. It's the largest

59
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 1>jackpot ever for the month of December. Talk about a

60
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 1>Christmas gift. The last winner of the Mega Millions was

61
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>back on September tenth. One lucky winner in Massachusetts did

62
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>get a million dollars from one of last week's drawings.

63
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 1>That means they got all five lucky numbers but did

64
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 1>not get the megaplier ouch. That ticket was sold at

65
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 1>a gas station in Norwood. Kyle Bray WBZ Boston's news radio.

66
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>The four d awbz ACU Weather Forecast. As we just heard,

67
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>there's snow out there, light snow coming down. We'll see

68
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>snow much of the time today, mixed with rain near

69
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the coast and on the south coast of Cape and Islands.

70
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 2>It'll be mainly rain. Hi's today thirty four. That's near

71
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 2>four ninety five, near forty on the coast, forty five

72
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.080

73
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>mixed with rain early on the Cape and the Islands,

74
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 2>ending late Snow could accumulate one to three inches locally

75
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 2>six inches. That depends on the exact track of this

76
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 2>developing coastal storm. Of course, that means roads could be

77
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>snow coverslippery, so watch out. We'll drop down to a

78

<v Speaker 2>likely highs in the mid thirties and remaining cloudy on Christmas.

87
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Right now, quickly checking the radar, we're seeing snow in

88
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.439

95
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 6>this Jim donald has died. He had all the sports

96
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 6>beats over the years, but was maybe most known for

97
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 6>his coverage of the New England Patriots for all those

98
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.399

<v Speaker 6>the pro Joe intend to put Jim Donaldson on it.

100
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 6>He was as good as it gets over his forty

101
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 6>year career and could really write about anything. Donaldson was

102
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 6>a Rhode Islander through and through. Born in Pawtucket, he

103
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 6>graduated from Notre Dame. When he retired eight years ago,

104
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 6>he simply wrote, I've been fortunate to have spent my

105
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 6>life doing a job I love. Jim Donaldson, a Providence
