Speaker 1: This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2: Mostly cloudy twenty one degrees on this Monday morning. Hello,
Speaker 2: thanks for being with us. It's January sixth. Thanks Sherry Small.
Speaker 2: Here's what's happening. In just about an hour from now,
Speaker 2: Congress will gather to certify President elect Donald Trump's election victory.
Speaker 2: ABC's Rachel Scott is in Washington with one.
Speaker 3: Of course, it was just four years ago that Donald
Speaker 3: Trump urged his own supporters to march to the Capitol
Speaker 3: on January sixth, pressuring his own Vice President Mike Pence,
Speaker 3: to try to overturn the twenty twenty election that he lost.
Speaker 3: We were here reporting live. We saw hundreds of people
Speaker 3: storm in the United States Capital, where than fifteen hundred
Speaker 3: people have been criminally charged. Donald Trump has vowed to
Speaker 3: pardon many of them.
Speaker 2: And Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over the joint
Speaker 2: session of Congress where she will certify her own defeat.
Speaker 2: In a recorded video message about her role, says that
Speaker 2: it is a sacred obligation that she will uphold. President
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, meanwhile, is calling on a judge to delay
Speaker 2: his sentencing in his hush money case. While he appeals
Speaker 2: the ruling upholding the verdict. The President elect is set
Speaker 2: to be sentenced this Friday. His lawyers say they're planning
Speaker 2: to ask a state appeals court to reverse the judge's decision,
Speaker 2: and that should trigger a pause in the proceedings. Last week,
Speaker 2: Judge Juan Mrshawn rejected the President elect's bid to throw
Speaker 2: out the verdict and dismiss his indictment, but did signal
Speaker 2: that he would give mister Trump no jail time. He
Speaker 2: was convicted on thirty four felony counts of falsifying business records.
Speaker 2: The Patriots are back on the head coaching market after
Speaker 2: firing Gerrod Mayo last night.
Speaker 4: It was but one season, but to this member of
Speaker 4: Patriots Nation, it was a failure.
Speaker 3: They need to move on to reorganize.
Speaker 4: Others believe the first year head coach was dealt an
Speaker 4: impossible hand.
Speaker 2: I think it's unfit.
Speaker 4: They left them with nothing. I blame the ownership more
Speaker 4: than anythink agreer. Disagree with your Rod Mayo's firing. Now
Speaker 4: that he's gone, one names already bouncing around as a
Speaker 4: possible replacement.
Speaker 2: Rables. I love my Brabel, so yeah, I'd love to
Speaker 2: see Rabel.
Speaker 4: Is Rabel walking the sidelines next season?
Speaker 2: He should be.
Speaker 4: Hopefully they make the right choices going forward in clean house.
Speaker 4: Do you think Mike Grabel is the right guy?
Speaker 3: I do you gotta bring him in?
Speaker 2: You glad about this move?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: What do you think it says to the fan base
Speaker 2: doing it so quickly?
Speaker 4: Let's go Chris Fauma, WBZ Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: It is almost time for the lineup drop for this
Speaker 2: year's Boston Calling Festival. The festival will have a brand
Speaker 2: new look when it kicks off on Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 2: This year, the Green and Red stages will be merged
Speaker 2: into one in an effort to give concert goers a
Speaker 2: better view and more space to move around. And after
Speaker 2: complaints last year about pack crowds and a lack of water,
Speaker 2: the festival will also be adding more water stations and
Speaker 2: bringing back an indoor air conditioned space in a nearby
Speaker 2: arena to help people cool off. And good news here,
Speaker 2: they'll also be lowering the cost of some tickets.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: The four to a WBZ ACU weather forecast is breezy
Speaker 2: out there. There are clouds, limited amount of sunshine today
Speaker 2: a high of thirty two. Because of that, breeze. There
Speaker 2: is that biting wind chill, so make sure if you're
Speaker 2: heading out the door to bundle up. Partly cloudy tonight,
Speaker 2: it'll remain breezy, dropping down to nineteen as the low,
Speaker 2: but real field tempts will be near zero overnight Tonight Tuesday, windy,
Speaker 2: more sun than clouds, a high of only twenty nine degrees,
Speaker 2: real feels in the single digits and low teens, and
Speaker 2: we see that pattern playing out nearly exact on Wednesday
Speaker 2: and Thursday. Looking ahead, not as harsh on Friday, with
Speaker 2: a little bit of a warm up, hies in the
Speaker 2: mid thirties and less wind, but a little snow may
Speaker 2: arrive on Saturday. Looking at the radar map, we are
Speaker 2: starting to see that snow to the south of US Connecticut,
Speaker 2: New York, and farther down a lot on the east coast.
Speaker 2: We'ren't the clear though this time around, and we're just
Speaker 2: looking at these chili temperatures. Is right now nineteen degrees
Speaker 2: in Pittsfield, we have twenty four in Springfield, nineteen in Worcester.

Speaker 2: degrees New Year New scams. Boston Police are warning about
Speaker 2: scammers going after drivers in Boston with fraudulent text messages.
Speaker 5: How they get parking tickets all the time.
Speaker 1: Caleb lives in Southey, and he begrudgingly told me he
Speaker 1: does get a ticket from time to time, well aware
Speaker 1: of how to pay it, but a bit surprised about
Speaker 1: a scam where people in Boston are being contacted via
Speaker 1: texts about an overdue parking ticket and it's all a hoax.
Speaker 2: That's wow, that's would I would have never guessed.
Speaker 1: That Boston Police now haven't alert about it.
Speaker 2: I couldn't see how that would be a problem.
Speaker 1: The part that's most concerning the message directs you to
Speaker 1: a fake payment website that looks all too real with
Speaker 1: the City of Boston logos and ask for your info.
Speaker 1: And that's where you're really in trouble.
Speaker 4: It's something you wouldn'tick spay.
Speaker 1: If you do get the message, contact Boston police and
Speaker 1: sell Boston Jim McKay WBZ, Boston's news radio.

Speaker 6: along six hundred and twenty five million acres of ocean.
Speaker 6: This includes the eastern West coast part of Alaska. And
Speaker 6: the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, though most drilling in the
Speaker 6: golf will stay in tack, the presidents saying in a statement,
Speaker 6: drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places
Speaker 6: we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation's
Speaker 6: energy needs. It is not worth the risks.
Speaker 2: President elect Donald Trump meanwhile says that he will change
Speaker 2: the ruling. On day one, public employees will be getting
Speaker 2: bigger Social Security checks after President Biden signed the Social
