Speaker 3: Capitol Hill continue to demand that the House Ethics Committee
Speaker 3: release its sexual misconduct and drug report on Florida Congressman
Speaker 3: Matt Gates, even though he has resigned to take the
Speaker 3: Attorney General's job. Gates resignation effectively ends the Ethics Committee's work,
Speaker 3: but critics say he left to avoid what is expected
Speaker 3: to be a damning report. Axios this morning reports that
Speaker 3: a meeting of the Ethics Committee to discuss the situation
Speaker 3: today has been canceled. Gates maintains his innocence. His new
Speaker 3: job would put him in charge of the Justice Department,
Speaker 3: which also investigated similar claims. The world continues to try
Speaker 3: to hammer out a greener future at the COP twenty
Speaker 3: nine summitt an Azerbaijan this week, but the officials may
Speaker 3: be banging their heads against a wall. A new report
Speaker 3: from the Climate Action Tracker finds despite promises of making
Speaker 3: green energy changes, most of the planet is not making
Speaker 3: any progress, and the lack of execution puts us on
Speaker 3: the path to blow past temperature guidelines set at the
Speaker 3: Paris Climate Accord. Experts say it's not that we aren't trying,
Speaker 3: but energy demand continues to increase faster than green energy
Speaker 3: initiatives are being rolled out. Fight Night for Iron Mike.
Speaker 4: How many people would choose to fight Mike Tyson? I
Speaker 4: think it's crazy, and yet Internet influencer Jake Paul has
Speaker 4: decided to do just that.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's only had a few fights on his belt.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like it's just We got to see.
Speaker 4: This exhibition bout tonight on Netflix, featuring two guys separated
Speaker 4: by more than twenty years in age.
Speaker 2: I think this is purely entertainment value.
Speaker 4: But that's what you know, that's what the boxing sport
Speaker 4: needs right now, needs to get anyone that can in
Speaker 4: front of the TV to.
Speaker 5: See what it's all about.
Speaker 4: Chris Foum, a WBZ Boston's news radio, turns out walking
Speaker 4: is getting very expensive for teachers in Beverly, Gloster and Marblehead.

Speaker 3: better benefits, and better working conditions remain far apart. In
Speaker 3: all three communities, fifty thousand dollars fines are being imposed
Speaker 3: for refusing to go back to class in the first day,
Speaker 3: and only increase daily from there. Another chance to catch
Speaker 3: November's full beaver moon comes tonight wbzas Drew Mlholland, you
Speaker 3: see that overnight, it's this morning, you can see it.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, right.
Speaker 2: You know what else?
Speaker 5: I think we're both north shore guys. I think with
Speaker 5: the wildfires that are still smoldering, you'd notice that kind
Speaker 5: of gave a different look to it.
Speaker 3: It did. It was a little bit of a hazy look,
Speaker 3: but also you could still smell the smoke exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're experts on this. We can paint these pictures
Speaker 5: for you. And this weekend, Jeffrey, another heavenly treat on
Speaker 5: the way with the peak of the leonid media showers.
Speaker 5: At its peak we could see up to fifteen meteors
Speaker 5: and away from the light, so that's pretty cool. Timing
Speaker 5: is everything, though. The peak is Sunday night when the
Speaker 5: moon is still almost full, and that lasts through December second.
Speaker 3: So it's lots too much going on. Quite a shit show.
Speaker 3: I can't handle this.
Speaker 2: Somebody clapping, clapping, I think.
Speaker 3: So we're in great shape once again. This morning. It's
Speaker 3: cold once again, thirty four here in the city. It's
Speaker 3: actually a couple of degrees warmer than it was this
Speaker 3: time yesterday. But you can hardly notice when temperatures are
Speaker 3: in this range. All right, So here's the deal. We've
Speaker 3: got a gusty breeze coming back at us today, low
Speaker 3: humidity once again, and dry brush. This is a recipe
Speaker 3: for a red flag warning, which is in effect for
Speaker 3: Massachusetts once again today and most of the state now
Speaker 3: more than two thirds of it considered in severe drought
Speaker 3: conditions and not a drop of rain insight either. But
Speaker 3: the weather is simply phenomenal, and it will be again
Speaker 3: today right around normal temperatures in the mid fifties for
Speaker 3: highs under a mix of sun and clouds. Weekend looks
Speaker 3: good too, with some sunshine both Tomorrow and Sunday. Daytime

Speaker 3: to be the long range trend as well. Right now

Speaker 3: a few clouds in the sky, but otherwise it's mainly clear.
Speaker 3: On a full moon morning, it is thirty four degrees

Speaker 6: The day after the election, X experience its biggest loss
Speaker 6: of users since Elon Musk bought the platform in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty two. Many are leaving for other social sites like
Speaker 6: blue Sky and Threads. However, Kyle over here is not
Speaker 6: planning to join the mass X exodus. I play the
Speaker 6: say on it. I believe in free speech, and there's
Speaker 6: a reason we believe in my face. While over a
Speaker 6: million new users have signed up for blue Sky this
Speaker 6: past week alone, not everyone thinks it will really matter.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to make any difference media
Speaker 2: goals from media to media. So just because it's a
Speaker 2: new media doesn't mean it's going to be any different.
Speaker 6: Meta owned Threads says it has exceeded two hundred and
Speaker 6: seventy five million active users in the back bay. James Rojas,
