<v Speaker 1>This is w b ZE News Radio where Boston gets

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the news, an iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Station eighty one degrees in Boston. Lots of sun, certainly

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>humid out there today, with the full forecast coming up

5
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>in just a few minutes eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Nicole Davis, and we're watching developing.

7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 3>News out of Cambridge.

8
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 2>The Trump administration now threatening to cut all federal funding

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>from Harvard, saying it violated civil rights by failing to

10
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>protect Jewish students from harassment. In a letter sent to

11
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Harvard today, a federal task force says investigators found the

12
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.520
<v Speaker 2>school was at times a quote willful participant in anti

13
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Semitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff, and that

14
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 2>the campus leaders allowed anti semitism to fester. This is

15
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>the latest escalation in the Trump administration's battles with Harvard

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>is after the school rejected federal demands calling for sweeping

17
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>changes to governance, admissions, hiring, and more. We've reached out

18
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>to Heart v for comment. When we get more, we'll

19
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>let you know here on WBZ. On Capitol Hill right now,

20
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 2>a marathon voting session called a voteramas underway on amendments

21
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>to the President's tax and spending bill. The President pressuring

22
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Republicans to pass it in time for July fourth, but

23
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>not everybody is behind this.

24
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Late Saturday night, North Carolina Senator Tom Dillis was one

25
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 4>of two Republicans who opposed moving forward with the package,

26
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 4>concerned about potential cuts to Medicaid.

27
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Boy, why tell six hundred and sixty three thousand people

28
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 5>and two years or three years when President Trump breaks

29
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 5>his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid.

30
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 4>On Sunday, the two term senator announced he would not

31
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 4>seek reelection next year after President Trump threatened to back

32
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 4>a potential primary challenge against him.

33
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Now as CBS's Nicole Killion, the Congressional Budget Office today

34
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>saying the bill could add more than three trillion dollars

35
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 2>to the national debt and result in the loss of

36
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>healthcare for almost twelve million people over the next ten years.

37
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 2>On Bagon Hill, the end of mandatory tenant paid broker's

38
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 2>fees could be coming in a matter of days. That's

39
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>because lawmakers have released their sixty one billion dollars state

40
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>budget agreement, and the change to outlaw that mandatory fee

41
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 2>for the tenant is part of the deal. The Globe

42
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 2>reports Boston is the only major American city that still

43
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>allows these fees. They often require prospective tenants to generally

44
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>pay a month's rent on top of other fees like first, last,

45
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>and security to move in. That is something advocates say

46
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>is exacerbating the state's housing crisis. This new change in

47
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the budget would require the person who hires the broker

48
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>to pay that fee, which generally is the landlord. And

49
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>in Idaho, Polisay, a gunman is dead after intentionally setting

50
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a wildfire and ambushing the firefighters who responded.

51
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>It was a cell phone signal that led teams to

52
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the shooter's body on Sunday night. The sheriff here is

53
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>saying they tracked this cell signal that had not moved

54
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>for a period of time and found the shooter by

55
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>honing in on that signal. It's unclear if the shooter

56
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 1>shot himself or was killed by a police bullet. The

57
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.719

61
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>So much sun out there today and it's going to

62
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>be a beautiful afternoon. We've got no rain in the

64
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>have some storms tomorrow, but we'll get to that in

65
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>a moment. For today, it will be humid, and we've

66
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>got temperatures up to just about ninety if you're inland,

67
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>eighty or so right on the coast, maybe some mid

68
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>eighties if you're a little bit further away from the water,

69
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 2>but we're talking one twenty eight at the farthest. Then

70
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 2>for tonight, mostly cloudy, stickier out there, not really cooling

71
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.240

72
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>plenty of clouds, and then we've got showers and storms

73
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>in the afternoon with the high in the mid to

74
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>upper eighties. Heat does not break though. Wednesday and Thursday,

75
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>both days high just about ninety, and we have afternoon

76
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.840

90
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 5>We're seeing travel and record numbers because you have to

91
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 5>remember that travel isn't just an economic and practical decision.

92
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 4>It's also an emotional decision. People want to get away.

93
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.920

<v Speaker 2>Last week's heat waved in a number on a busy

96
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>bridge on the South coast. Now officials are trying to

97
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen again.

98
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.519

<v Speaker 2>the new Bedford fair Haven Bridge to vehicle traffic for

100
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>almost two days. That's because the swing bridge swelled up

101
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 2>in the oppressive heat its metal, and it had to

102
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 2>be left open for boats, but couldn't close until the

103
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 2>weather cooled down. The New Bedford Light reports MASTOT is

104
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>working on a system to keep the almost one hundred

105
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 2>and thirty year old bridge working. Details not out just yet.

106
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.399

107
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>by the way our plans to replace the bridge, but

108
