<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. It is Patriots Day, also

4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Marathon Monday, and on Wall Street today. I don't even

5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>know what to call it. I think the proper word

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>is a mess. Bloomberg's Tracy Junki is here. We're ringing

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the bell to close this thing out. But boy, what

8
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>a long ride it was.

9
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know it's been bad, Ben, when a

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 2>loss of a little less than a thousand points looks

11
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 2>almost good by comparison. The Dow at the worst down

12
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>more than fourteen hundred points of the Dow currently as

13
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>it settles down nine seventy two. The Nasdaq fell four

14
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 2>point fifteen, the SMP down one twenty five.

15
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 3>A lot of the.

16
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Worry centered on the US Central Bank, better known as

17
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>the Federal Reserve, and the main concern is that President

18
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Trump will act on this threat to fire FED. Jared

19
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Jape Chara Jape Howell. The Fed is seen as a

20
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>stabilizing force for the financial industry and the economy, so

21
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 2>stock market strate to just have been telling us even

22
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>the prospect of a Trump takeover is a destabilizing force

23
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>for stocks.

24
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>Then all right, we'll check back in with Tracy coming

25
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.680

<v Speaker 5>Anyways, he crosses exitner now he's egging the crowd on.

32
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Palms up, arms extended. He wants to hear it.

33
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 5>Taps his chest with his right hand as he breaks

34
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 5>the tape and captures the Boston Marathon in twenty.

45
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>this year and big crowds to watch the start in Hopkinton.

46
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>The BC's James O. Houstin run, but he was at

47
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>the starting line this morning.

48
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 4>You cannot ask for better weather or a better start

49
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 4>to one of the most famous races in the world.

50
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>People say, what's your biggest.

51
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 6>Concern going into a race, and it's always the weather,

52
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 6>because it's the unknown factor.

53
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Even weather forecasts.

54
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 6>Are week's out, aren't necessarily accurate.

55
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Fortunately for the thousands of participants and for race director

56
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 4>Dave mcgilvery, these are near perfect Boston Marathon conditions.

57
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 6>Won't be too long, won't be too cold, almost ideal conditions.

58
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 5>Right now, it's perfect.

59
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 1>It seems like we locked out, which makes a huge

60
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 1>difference for everybody. So I'm sure that run I feel

61
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it today.

62
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.639

72
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.199

74

94
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>route on this Patriot's Day. Runners looking for motivation from spectators.

95
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>The many college students in the city are there to

96
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>help in wbz's match. You're checking in from mile twenty

97
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>one at Boston College.

98
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 9>It's hard to explain to an out of town or

99
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 9>just what makes today so special.

100
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 10>Boston Marathon is so great because it's in Boston. It's

101
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 10>in Boston, and Boston's better than New York.

102
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 9>That's Taisha talking to our friend Opa from you know where,

103
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 9>neither of whom have run a marathon. Like the vast

104
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 9>majority of the crowd here at PC. That doesn't mean

105
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 9>they don't have advice for the runners.

106
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 10>Don't push yourself too hard, like I don't know, like

107
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 10>I feel like it's not worth it to like do

108
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.040
<v Speaker 10>something that's like detrimental to your body, like I get

109
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 10>it like you worked hard for it, but at the

110
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 10>end of the day, like you got to put your

111
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 10>health first.

112
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Believe in something greater than yourself.

113
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 8>Sorry, that was kind of crazy.

114
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Shout out the boat.

115
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 10>May he rest in peace, my gun.

116
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>The boat died this.

117
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 9>Morning for the out of towners. BC is a Catholic school.

<v Speaker 9>Matt Sheer WBZ, Boston's news radio.

119
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, Pope Francis has died at the age of eighty eight.

120
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 1>The Vatican says the cause of death a cerebral stroke

121
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that led to a coma and irreversible heart failure. Boston

122
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>is known for its rich Catholic history and Catholics from

123
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 1>far and wider. In mourning, w'ss Jim McKay spoke to

124
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>parishioners at a church bearing the name of the saint

125
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 1>the Pactiff chose as his papal name.

126
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 4>Greatly said, and by finding out that he has passed away.

127
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>I just felt that this book was very holy.

128
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 8>For parishioners heading to Mass at Saint Francis of the

129
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 8>CC in Braintree was quite a shock to begin the

130
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.519
<v Speaker 8>week knowing the Pontiff passed away in the early morning

131
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 8>hours after many had just watched Easter services at Saint

132
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 8>Peter Square. Donna believes the legacy of Pope Francis extends

133
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 8>well beyond the Catholic faith.

134
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 7>He is just so generous, and I think even if

135
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 7>you weren't Catholic, that.

136
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 8>You just loved this had a legacy of charity and

137
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 8>change for his twelve years in the papacy. The first

138
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 8>Pope of the Americas will be remembered today on the

139
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 8>South Shore and across the globe with prayer.

140
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Our prayers are with him, and we know that he

141
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 4>died peacefully, and we know that he'll be.

143
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.399
<v Speaker 1>I let the curiosity and the rumors begin now. Who

144
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>will be the next pope? There are some cardinals with

145
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 1>a better chance than others.

146
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Even though cardinals don't campaign for the job of pope,

147
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 3>there are always front runners going into a conclave, cardinals

148
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 3>who have not reached the age of eighty. While it's

149
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 3>a sacred and secretive process, some possible candidates include Urdo,

150
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.720
<v Speaker 3>the Archbishop of Budapest, Marx the Archbishop of Munich, Roulette

151
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 3>of Canada, Parolin of Italy, Sirah of Guinea, Schoonburn, the

152
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 3>Archbishop of Vienna, Tagel of the Philippines, Zoopi, the Archbishop

153
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.519
