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

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 2>News Sunshine twenty nine in Boston. It's eleven o'clock Good

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Friday Morning on Laurie Kirby, and we have a lot

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>of breaking news. The Supreme Court with gun us to

5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 2>save TikTok, but it's still unclear exactly what will happen

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Sunday when the law of ban it goes into effect.

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 2>More now in this special report from CBS News.

8
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 3>The Supreme Court has just upheld a ban on TikTok,

9
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 3>refusing to block a federal loss eight set to take

10
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 3>effect this Sunday if the app isn't sold to a

11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.560
<v Speaker 3>non Chinese company Loyola Laws Lori Levinson.

12
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 4>The Supreme Court said that Congress's ban on TikTok did

13
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 4>not violate the First Amendment. It said that there was

14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 4>enough reason for Congress to ban TikTok because of its

15
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 4>data gathering practices and threats to mash security.

16
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 3>President Biden has said he will not enforce the ban. Correspondent,

17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 3>we judge anks as that leaves it up to the

18
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 3>Trump administration.

19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 5>The incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz that we will

20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 5>put measures in place to keep TikTok from going dark,

21
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 5>but there aren't that many options that they have on

22
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 5>the table right now.

23
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 3>TikTok CEO is set to attend President elect Trump's inauguration Monday,

24
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 3>CBS News special Report. I'm Deborah Rodriguez.

25
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>And just now President Elect Donald Trump just hold CNN News.

26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>He will be making the decision on TikTok's fate. It's

27
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>not entirely clear how that would work. Of course, he's

28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 2>teased a potential executive order without elaborating on how he

29
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>would bypass Congress. And of course now we have the

30
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court ruling. But keep it right here. Sunday is

31
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>going to be a very interesting day Monday as well

32
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>for our team coverage both here and streaming on the

33
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>new iHeartRadio. Israel's security Cabinet has approved a ceasefire deal

34
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 2>in Gaza with a Moss That deal is now headed

35
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>to the Fools Habitat for review and a final vote

36
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>by sundown, hopefully. CBS is Linda Gradstein with War.

37
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 6>The Israeli government has notified the families of the thirty

38
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 6>three Israeli hostages expected to be freed in the first

39
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 6>phase of the ceasefire deal. Including two American citizens. The

40
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 6>list includes women, children, elderly people, and people who are sick.

41
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 6>Hamas has not yet informed Israel how many of the

42
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 6>thirty three people on the list are still alive, although

43
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 6>Israel believes most of them are. The first three hostages

44
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 6>are due to be released on Sunday.

45
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Six students are injured in a school bus crash in Waltham, Pelisa.

46
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>The crash was reported just before a thirty to string.

47
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>A collision evolved three vehicles. Here is school bus from

48
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Waltham's dual language school of VAM and a mini van

49
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>and the van was with Ram Services. They provide transportation

50
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 2>for seniors and people with disabilities. The driver was the

51
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>only person on board at the time. He was injured

52
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>in the crash, but again his injuries are believed to

53
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>be minor. Police are investigating. Mostly sunny right now, pretty nice.

54
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not that cold because it's not that windy. I'm

55
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>seeing thirty in Falmouth, Wooster, Boston twenty nine. We're ahead

56
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>of her high of forty clear tonight. To start, we're

57
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>in the twenties, mid twenties or so, so it gets

58
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>interesting this weekend. First, we've got some rain tomorrow afternoon

59
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 2>and Saturday night pretty mild forty five degrees tomorrow and

60
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>then here it comes a change. This is significant, you know.

61
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Every day this keeps evolving, which is why we bring

62
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>you traffic and weather together every ten minutes here and

63
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>of course on the new iHeartRadio app. So on Sunday,

64
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 2>it's getting cold and we have a coastal storm is

65
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>going to be south and east of us. Here are

66
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>the dicted forecast as snow amounts right now from Joe

67
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>over at ACU Weather. Half a foot of snow you

68
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 2>heard right, half a foot on the maximum side. In general,

69
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>if you're on the cape or the south coast, we're

70
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>looking at one to three inches of snow. A lot

71
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>of you have Monday off. That's going to help in

72
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>terms of how much time we have to shovel out

73
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>and driving and traffic and all of that. But we'll

74
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 2>stay with us. Storms can bounce, it can change. We

75
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>could have more, we could have less, you know the drill.

76
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I want to go back to our top story. The

77
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court, which is the nation's highest court in the land,

78
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>is just upheld the law to ban TikTok in the

79
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>United States. If the popular social media app owned by

80
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>a Chinese company does not find a new parent company

81
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.720
<v Speaker 2>by Sunday, and wbz's James Rojas is asking if people

82
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>will miss it if it goes away.

83
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>For some, like Hailey from Summerville, a ban of TikTok

84
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 1>would be a good thing.

85
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 4>I tried it once. I was on it for seven

86
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 4>hours and I was like, never again on a for

87
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 4>seven hour and you're like, yeah, ended that. I was like,

88
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to have this impatient.

89
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Jody from Franklin uses TikTok occasionally, and.

90
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't like the talk of the algorithm and how

91
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 3>it's gathering data.

92
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>So I think that it's useful, but I won't miss it.

93
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But there are supporters of the app. I'm a Christian,

94
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I use it from ministry. I have like twenty thousand followers.

95
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I really like the platform.

96
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 4>I think it's government over each This is going to

97
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 4>take a lot of jobs from people because some people

98
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 4>make a living off of TikTok.

99
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Some are concerned that a band would stifle free speech.

100
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 1>James Rojas w b Z BOSTON'SNOWS Radio.

101
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>So why did the Supreme Court uphold the ban? They

102
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 2>decided the risk to national security posed by TikTok ties

103
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>to communist China. Overcoming concerns about limiting speech. We'll have

104
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 2>a lot more coming up with another special report shortly.

105
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>The federal government says it will soon scrutinize the hot

106
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 2>prices of popular weight loss drugs, which are all the rage.

107
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Ceb IF says. Alex Tim has.

108
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 7>That Medicare has announced fifteen more drugs that is targeting

109
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 7>for its drug price negotiation program. It includes blockbuster diabetes

110
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 7>and weight loss drug Ozampic and Wagovi. President Biden has

111
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 7>hailed the program, created by the Inflation Reduction Act as

112
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 7>one of his signature accomplishments, saving Medicare and seniors and

113
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 7>billions of dollars. The second round of talks also comes

114
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 7>as the Biden administration has proposed to expand Medicare to

115
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 7>cover weight loss drugs. It is unclear how or if

116
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 7>the incoming Trump administration will finalize that proposal.

117
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>President Biden takes more weight off thousands of shoulders.

118
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 8>President Biden is commuting the sentences of nearly twenty five

119
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 8>hundred people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses and serving what

120
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.079
<v Speaker 8>the Winehouse says are disproportionately long sentences compared to what

121
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 8>they would receive today under current law, policy, and practice.

122
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 8>The President says in a statement that with this action,

123
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 8>he's now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any

124
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 8>president in history, but he's not yet finished using his

125
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 8>clemency power, saying he'll continue to review additional commutations and pardons.

<v Speaker 2>William Page, a former US Postal Service worker from Duxbury,
