00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Sonny in twenty one degrees in Boston. The real field

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm Sherry Small. Let's get you caught up. A lot

5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>going on. Here's what's happening. We are now just one

6
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>hour away from President Elecdonald Trump's inauguration for his second

7
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>term as president, and this morning President Biden greeted mister

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Trump at the White House, saying, quote, welcome home. Now

9
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 2>they've both arrived at the US Capitol where mister Trump

10
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>will be sworn in as forty seventh president. We will

11
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>take that swearing in ceremony live here on WBZ News Radio.

12
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Keep it with us, or you can take us anywhere

13
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 2>on the go with the new iHeartRadio app. President Biden

14
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 2>has issued pardons for doctor Anthony Fauci and retired General

15
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Mark Milly, along with the entire House MIDI that investigated

16
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>the January sixth attack on the Capitol. Here's ABC's Karen

17
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Travers with more on the last minute executive action.

18
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Doctor Anthony Faunci tells ABC he accepts the pardon from

19
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 3>President Biden. And is grateful for it, but he emphasized

20
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 3>that he committed no crimes. Fauci did say to ABC

21
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 3>the threats and possibility of prosecution quote creates immeasurable and

22
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 3>intolerable distress on me and my family. Throughout his campaign,

23
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 3>President elect Donald Trump vowed to exact retribution on his

24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 3>political enemies. Fauncy faced intense scrutiny and vitriol for the

25
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 3>government's response to the COVID nineteen pandemic. Karen Traver's ABC News,

26

<v Speaker 3>the White House.

27
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>And President LEC. Trump also hoping to get things done today.

28
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>He's expected to sign a number of executive orders today,

29
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>many of them aimed at changing America's immigration policies. A

30
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>blanket of snow restsover Boston on this Martin Luther King

31
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Junior Day. The National Weather Service says that most of

32
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>mainline massachusettot between four and six inches of snow. There's

33
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 2>a lot of shoveling going on in Boston this morning.

34
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Wbz's Jay will Lett is out there surveying the scene.

35
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Bust out the snow brushes. It's a snow day in

36
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 4>Boston without the canceled class thanks to the holiday.

37
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 5>I expect the mark, but I think I was expecting

38
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 5>like that.

39
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 4>For snow cruise. It's touch and go on. Whether Mother

40
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 4>Nature delivered on the forecast. Is this what you guys

41
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 4>are expecting today at all?

42
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 5>Kind of blew away? I think I don't know, not

43
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 5>really much.

44
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 4>They're shoveling and salting the sidewalks. Meantime, plows sit at

45
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 4>every corner in the city, going great, and it's going great.

46
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>It's not as much as expected, but just keep salting.

47
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 5>And you know what I mean plowing with is a

48
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 5>little snow and not much accumulation at all.

49
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Though the technique is to make periodic rounds so that

50
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 4>every inch of asphalt is clear. In Boston. J Willett WBZ,

<v Speaker 4>Boston's news radio.

52
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Now the four day WBC ACU weather forecast. All right,

53
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>we can sum it up in two words, blustery cold.

54
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>I was seeing some sunshine today in Boston, but still

55
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>very cold. High's twenty seven degrees. Those real field temps

56
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 2>they're going to hover mainly in the single digits today,

57
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>So don't be fooled by that sunshine. If you're warm

58
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 2>and inside looking out the window, it is really chilly

59
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 2>out there tonight. It'll drop down to fourteen degrees. Real

60
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>fields in the single digits and below zero, depending on

61
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>where you are. Tuesday mainly cloudy, highs about nineteen to

62
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, not much different on Wednesday, highs once again

63
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 2>around twenty decreasing cloudiness on Wednesday. Thursday, we'll see some

64
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>partial sun and we'll warm all the way up to

65
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight degrees. It's twenty one right now in Boston.

66
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>We are seeing the sun, but the real field temp

67
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>is seven degrees at eleven o five. On this Monday,

71
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 6>got a call saying the person who was supposed to

72
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 6>sing the national anthem was sick and couldn't make it.

73
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 6>He stepped up, Oh see can you see.

74
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 5>By the dolls lie?

75
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 6>Then a prayer by Reverend Matt Thomas, inspired by MLK.

76
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 5>May we never believe that violence is ever the solution.

77
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 5>May we live in harmony with one another. May we

78
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 5>challenge an oppressive system that marginalizes some while privileging others.

79
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.360

<v Speaker 6>all God's children.

82

<v Speaker 1>You look around this room, We're going to see all

83
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 1>God's children, all ethnicities. We all built this nation. We

84
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>should all be treated the same. Equality, civil rights, human rights.
