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

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>look at this Thursday already in Boston, and who are

3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.359
<v Speaker 1>right back at it. We've got cloudy skies and a

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>few showers to wake us up this morning. It is

5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>a mild fifty seven degrees here in the city. Six

6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 1>o'clock and the news at six is brought to us

7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>by your New England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 1>drive headquarters. Thanks for being with us this Thursday morning.

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jeff Brown. It is metal off the middle time.

10
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Cloudy today included in yesterday, a bit of rain in

11
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the area this morning, a straight shower this afternoon, or

12
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>high today sixty two to sixty six. It is w

13
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>b z ACHI weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg, and it looks

14
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>like rain is going to take us at least showers

15
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>into the weekend as well. Another food fight at Market

16
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Basket Supermarket, says the board of Director's sidelines beloved longtime

17
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>CEO ar Thir T. De Mulis. He's on paid leave

18
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 1>now as the board conducts an investigation into what it

19
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>fears is a sinister plot to stage an employee walk out.

20
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Official say de Mulis is frustrated over being required to

21
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>get approval from the board for his everyday decisions. De Mulis,

22
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>whose son and daughter are also on the outs of

23
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the company, say the rest of the board is trying

24
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 1>to cover up its tracks on a possible sale of

25
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 1>that company. At the Karen Reid trial, the defense continues

26
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to try to poke holes in the theory of a

27
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>crash expert that Read backed her suv at an accelerated

28
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>rate of speed into John O'Keefe, leaving her boyfriend for

29
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>dead in the snow more than three years ago. Possible,

30
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>that's not probable, no possible, anything as possible, and on

31
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>deal possibilities at deal in probabilities. The final witness of

32
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 1>the prosecution remains under cross examination, Judson Welcher. After four

33
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>hours of defense grilling Reads, lawyers say they are about

34
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>halfway done with Welcher. It is a half day of

35
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 1>testimony today. The defense is expected to get the case

36
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>before this week is out. At the Sean Diddy Combs

37
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 1>trial and Federal Court in Manhattan, another witness testifies that

38
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the one time hip hop mogul attacked his longtime girlfriend,

39
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Cassie Ventura. Combs is accused of sex trafficking and racketeering

40
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>charges in what prosecutors say was a long running criminal enterprise. Meantime,

41
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Cassie Ventura, just days after her blistering testimony, is a

42
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>new mom for the third time. The aspiring singer gives

43
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>birth to a bouncing baby boy. Ventura and her husband

44
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>are also parents to two young girls as well. In

45
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the NBA Playoffs, the Oklahoma City Thunder returned to the finals.

46
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>They send the Minnesota Wolves home for the summer, and

47
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>for the third consecutive year, the Florida Panthers returned to

48
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 1>the Stanley Cup Final in the NHL with a victory

49
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 1>over the Carolina Hurricanes. And your Boston Red Sox are

50
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>on quite a losing spin. They're circling the drain, and

51
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>they're headed to Atlanta in a tough weekend matchup Coming up.

52
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>WBC's Drew m'holland is here with an inside look. Good

53
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>morning Andrew, Good morning Jeffrey. They won't lose today, right,

54
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>theoretically not? I understand Major League Baseball and a rare

55
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 1>move would like to give them an additional loss. These

56
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>guys are inventing new ways to lose, aren't they? Blown leads.

57
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 2>We had two runners on third base at one point yesterday,

58
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>and in extra innings with a lead, we do this.

59
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Rop ball hit to second base.

60
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 3>They're going to come home the time the ride would

61
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 3>be an understatement, Jeffrey.

62
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>That throw is way wide.

63
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>They can see this kind of baseball at little league

64
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>fields all over the Commonwealth. They are ruining. Oh it's

65
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>really we didn't think this was going to happen, but

66
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>they've managed to do it yet again. Are you done

67
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 1>with them?

68
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 3>No?

69
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Mean, I need something to do for the rest of

70
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 1>the summer. It's not even summer yet, and here we go.

71
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, Drew, thank you. We knew it couldn't last.

72
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Our great stretch of weather has apparently come to a

73
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>screeching halt here in Greater Boston, and this morning there

74
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>are a couple of breaks in the clouds, but otherwise

75
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>we are seeing some spotty showers just exiting the coastline

76
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>this morning, so otherwise we're looking at most cloudy skies.

77
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 1>It is fifty seven degrees as we get started on

78
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>this Thursday morning. High temperatures will only be in the

79
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 1>low sixties today, and we're going to see intermittent rain

80
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and drizzle throughout the entire day. It continues cloudy with

81
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple of showers overnight. Tonight, temperature's really holding pretty

82
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>much steady in the upper fifties. Then tomorrow, a mixture

83
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>of clouds and some sunshine. We cannot rule out the

84
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>possibility of a shower or two. Daytime highs will be

85
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>warm and sticky in the low to mid seventies tomorrow,

86
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And unfortunately, it looks like for what is this maybe

87
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the twelfth consecutive weekend that we're going to see some

88
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>precipitation that's going to be with us on Saturday before

89
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>things start to dry out on Sunday. Right now in Boston,

90
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>cloudy skies, couple of rain drops out in about It's

91
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven as we get started on this Thursday morning

92
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>at six oh six. Salem is often known for its

93
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 1>dark and sinister history. But one local is trying to

94
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>put candy on the map. What are you doing here today?

95
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Picking up girls?

96
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Now?

97
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>This is Fred Caller, but they're all too fast. A

98
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 2>guy I met at mark get basket with lots of

99
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 2>dad jokes and a shopping car full of EM and MS.

100
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't believe all the em and MS, I have

101
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>in my house really expresso Jlipano. Can I come see it? Yes?

102
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 2>It worked out great because he's a nearly eighty year

103
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>old disabled veteran out shopping for the first time since

104
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>his wife passed. He needed help carrying groceries. I needed

105
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>to see this collection. The first room you walk into

106
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>in his home is covered floor two ceiling with Eminem merch.

107
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Cuckoo, clocks, sack scratches.

108
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>You got even more over here he's going. It extends

109
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 2>into his living room, dining room. He even has entire

110
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>closets full of rare Eminem flavors. But he's not trying

111
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to get rich here. This is just something to bring

112
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 2>him a little joy.

113
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 1>It costs nothing to be polite.

117
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>really before it began. Elon Musk is out at the

118
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 1>White House. His exit really comes as no surprise. He's

119
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>already stepped back considerably to attend to his struggling companies,

120
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but he announces on social media that his time as

121
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>special government employee is now up and thanks President Trump

122
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>on his exit for his trust in running DOGE. Despite

123
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 1>eroding promises to cut two trillion dollars in the federal budget,

124
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that number repeatedly has been lowered to its current estimate

125
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>of about one hundred and fifty billion dollars. The exit

126
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>comes just after Musk criticizes the President's budget bill as

127
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>being deeply flawed. Despite threats from the President, most US

128
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 1>businesses say they plan to pass price ikes onto US

129
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>new survey finds sixty percent of companies planned to pass

130
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the tariff based increases to customers. The results come just

131
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>before the US Trade Court blocked the tariff policy on

132
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>grounds it exceeded the President's power. Lingerie shop Victoria's Secret

133
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 1>really does keep a secret.

135
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 3>you could be out of luck. Victoria's Secrets website has

136
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 3>shut down because of a security threat. A disclaimer on

137
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.839
<v Speaker 3>the home page says it's taken action as a precaution

138
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 3>and the company's team, along with third party experts, are

139
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.319
