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

2
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Grace guys over the city of Boston, fifty five degrees.

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 2>It's eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's

4
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>happening over indebtiment, the Karen Reid retrial, the defense. It's

5
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>still cross examining. Shannon Burgess is a digital forensics expert

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>for the Commonwealth. Wbz's Emma Friedman back with us at

7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>eleven fifteen meantime. On Capitol Hill today, President Trump is

8
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 2>spending time with Republicans trying to rally support for what

9
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 2>he calls his big, Beautiful budget bill. This bill contains

10
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>much of his agenda and really compacts it into one

11
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>piece of legislation. Your CBS's Natalie brand Well in.

12
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 3>His words, he said this morning he is the cheerleader

13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>for the Republican Party, and we know on close votes

14
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 3>he's had to personally lobby some of these Republican members

15
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 3>or holdouts, make phone calls, or as we're seeing today,

16
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 3>go over there physically and talk to the GOP House

17
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>conference behind closed door.

18
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Now, hardline conservatives say this bill just does not cut

19
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>enough and will only add to the deficit. Democrats say

20
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>it focuses more on keeping taxes low for corporations and

21
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 2>wealthy Americans at the expense of health coverage and food

22
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 2>assistants for working families in need. I meantime, the President

23
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 2>is also changing his tone when it comes to former

24
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>President Biden's cancer diagnosis. At first a president offering his sympathies,

25
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 2>but now he's suggesting a cover up. Here's ABC's Nicology Antonio.

26
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 4>President Trump called Biden's cant diagnosis sad, while appearing to

27
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 4>cast doubt on Biden's doctors.

28
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 5>Maybe it was the same doctor and somebody is not

29
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 5>telling the facts.

30
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>That's a big problem.

31
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Biden's team said doctors diagnosed him Friday with an aggressive

32
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 4>form of prostate cancer after he experienced urinary symptoms, and

33
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 4>say the cancer had spread to the bones. President Trump

34
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 4>now suggesting without evidence that the announcement was delayed.

35
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 2>The CDC normally does not recommend regular prostate cancer screenings

36
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>from men over seventy because they say the risk generally

37
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>outweighs the benefits at eleven o two. If you're feeling

38
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>anxious about the state of the economy, you are not alone.

39
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Despite uncertainty involving inflation and tariffs. There are ways you

40
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>can protect yourself and your cash.

41
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 6>This is Jim Ryan. While average consumers can't control the economy,

42
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 6>they could at least prepare for any downturn. Financial planners

43
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 6>say the average American family should have an emergency fund

44
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 6>of about thirty five thousand dollars to cover six months housing, utilities, food,

45
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 6>medical care, and car payments. Psychologists say that even having

46
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 6>two thousand dollars set aside yields a twenty one percent

47
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 6>boost in the average consumer's sense of financial well being.

48
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 6>Jim Ryan, ABC News.

49
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's gray out there, tell you that much, and

50
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 2>it's really not going to get much better unfortunately for

51
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the day. We have a couple of

52
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>peaks of sun here in the forecast, but honestly, the

53
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>clouds are likely going to win out. And when it

54
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 2>comes to the temperature, we're not really warming up that

55
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 2>much more either. Most of us are in the mid

56
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>to upper fifties and that is where it's going to

57
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>stay for the rest of the day. Very blustery outside

58
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>with a wind from the north right now at about

59
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>fifteen miles an hour later on tonight, we could have

60
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>a bit of drizzle later on at the low in

61
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the upper forties, and for tomorrow, breezy, cloudy, intermittent drizzle.

62
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Kind of one of those days where it's just raw

63
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 2>and chilly and a little bit wet from time to time,

64
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>a high only fifty three. Then we have a no

65
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>o' Easter showing up on Thursday morning. We'll have periods

66
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 2>of rain, very windy out there, you know how this goes.

67
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll have some flooding in the usual spots, could also

68
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>see coastal flooding. And we have a high on Thursday,

69
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 2>not that far from fifty right now, fifty six in Fitchburg,

70
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>seeing fifty five in Amesbury, fifty six as well in Hingham,

71
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>and in Boston at eleven oh five it is cloudy

72
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and fifty six.

73
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 5>Well.

74
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Gas prices are down as we head into the holiday weekend.

75
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>WBC's Jim McKay took a look to see if this

76
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>could be a preview for the rest of the summer.

77
00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>One thing is for certain.

78
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 5>Gas price is when compared to this week in twenty

79
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 5>twenty four, are down over fifty cents a gallon on

80
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 5>average on the Commonwealth.

81
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>According to Triple A, it's awesome.

82
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 5>Brian from Weymouth has noticed because in the summer of

83
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty four he was hoofing at last year.

84
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.759
<v Speaker 2>I literally never used my car just because it was

85
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>like a legitimate factor.

86
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 5>There have been reports of some slow bookings heading into

87
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 5>the summer for some New England destinations, so if you

88
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 5>act fast, you can still get some savings. We're still

89
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 5>saving at the pub for now, but you can bet

90
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 5>that price we'll really begin to tick up once we

91
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 5>cross into the summer season.

92
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Officially, honestly, I don't know. I'm not really that bothered

93
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>by it, like it's unfortunate, but that's how the market

94
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 1>works for now.

95
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 5>Book those savings while you can in Braintree. Jim MCKAWBZ

<v Speaker 2>And you know, we're in college graduation season and finding

98
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>the perfect gift could be a bit tricky, but wbz's

99
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>James Rojas is here to help.

100
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 1>There are different approaches to finding the best gifts for

101
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that graduating senior, like going in the super personal direction.

102
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 7>I have a daughter that's graduating next year, so I

103
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 7>would say maybe an necklace or a charm or something

104
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 7>that has coordinates of where either they went to school

105
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 7>or their home.

106
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a ticket to a destination of their choice.

107
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Because everybody's so tired of being stuck in the same place.

108
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 1>I guess yeah. The gift could be centered around their major.

109
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 5>I'm a nursing student, so nursing related things like steposcopes

110
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 5>and stuff like that.

111
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I would say specific to the major. To the major

112
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>or at the end of the day. It can be

113
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>what anybody would want. Bots and lots of money. Yeah, honestly,

114
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 1>cash cash is a good gift at Logan James Rojas

116
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>The MBTA has now come to a settlement the family

117
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>of a man who was killed by an MBTA Redline train.

118
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Robinson Leyland of Dorchester was dragged to death at the

119
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Broadway station in twenty twenty two. Has happened when he

120
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 2>got his arms stuck in a door and the safety

121
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>system to make sure he would have been able to

122
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 2>get it out was broken. The family claims the tea

123
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>operators did not do enough to make sure everybody was

124
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.920
<v Speaker 2>in the car before taking off, and inspectors had not

125
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 2>been ensuring the equipment was working properly. Leyland's family now

126
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 2>set to receive about five million dollars from the tea

127
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>or documents say that cash will be split between Leyland's

128
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>children and his nephew. You are now in the loop
