00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:06.799
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio. We defining local news.

2
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, I really don't want to do this today.

3
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Could I interest one of our listeners to take the

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>controls this morning? Perhaps that's all right, I'll get through it.

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for being with us at six o'clock on

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.600
<v Speaker 2>this Friday morning, and we're waking up under some clear

7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 2>skies for a change sixty two here in Boston. The

8
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>News at six is brought to us by your new

9
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. I'm

10
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brown and smoke out.

11
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 1>More sun than clouds of warmat Boon.

12
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 2>I have seventy by the harbor, up to eighty four

13
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>for some of the inland suburbs. As WBZ akiweather meteorologist

14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Joe Lundberg. Nice weekend on the way too, as we

15
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 2>kick off yet another heat wave in Boston. It is

16
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>also full moon weekend. You got to get an early

17
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>wake up call for the Sturgeon Moon's peak, which is

18
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow morning at three close enough under clear skies tonight.

19
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>The Sturgeon Moon takes its no aim from the fish

20
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>found in the Great Lakes region this time of year.

21
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>But wait, there's more an added bonus before Moon set

22
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to with Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn all along the western skyline.

23
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>President Trump wants more from college campuses. This time, the

24
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 2>President expands his push to get more information from admissions

25
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 2>offices on the applications of all students. Inspired by the

26
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Department of Education, the latest move indicates it will push

27
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>the envelope on the twenty twenty three Supreme Court decision

28
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 2>outlawing race based admissions. Meantime, the Trump administration will investigate

29
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the public school system of Baltimore on concerns of anti Semitism.

30
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>This indicates an expansion into K through twelve schools on

31
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 2>the administration's DEI policies, which have long been a target

32
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>in higher education. The US Air Force denies early retirement

33
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>offers to longtime transgender service members. The move applies to

34
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 2>those with fifteen to eighteen years of service and will

35
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 2>instead force them out with no retirement benefits. Transgenders service

36
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>members will be given the choice to quit or be

37
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>fired with lump some payments as a parting gift. The

38
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Pentagon says transgender troops are medically unfit to serve, something

39
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>civil rights activists say amounts to discrimination. A federal court

40
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>judge puts the brakes on construction of Florida's Alligator Alcatraz,

41
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>responding to environmental groups and Native American claims. The pause

42
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>is good for two weeks. Governor Ron Decentas says the

43
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>nearly half a billion dollar detention camp for undocumented and

44
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>criminal migrants is meant to be temporary destination. William's Port

45
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>is away.

46
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 1>From the catcher. Here comes to Soli.

47
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 3>The Soli Domar treats the rights, the news story.

48
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>The winning round by tree he's doing to Williams Court.

49
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 2>That's the call on ESPN as Braintree Little leaguers are

50
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>going to the World Series with an extra innings walk

51
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>off over Bedford, New Hampshire. Late night Baseball tonight, Red

52
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Sox open a weekend series in San Diego and the

53
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Patriots finally play football in their preseason opener. But tonight

54
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a double feature in Foxborough.

55
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 1>What's a question that grips the mines of fans today

56
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>in New England. What would Tom Brady look like in

57
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 1>the statue?

58
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a good question.

59
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>What post do you think this statue will be?

60
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh gosh, fist pump or something very few, very know

61
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 4>what awaits behind the black tarps that surround the bronze

62
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 4>tribute to TB twelve just outside the Pro Shop here

63
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 4>at Jillette Stadium, which will be unveiled just before Tonight's

64
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 4>preseason opener against Washington. I was only forty five feet tall.

65
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 2>They can never do too much for that guy.

66
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 5>Oh absolutely.

67
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean I grew up on Tom Brady and watching

68
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 3>him win and just bringing home Super Bowls.

69
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Not to be lost in the hoopla, there is that gate.

70
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 2>I got big hopes. Totally excited to see what Drake

71
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>May is to offer, and I'm excited to see what

72
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Brabel breaks the table too.

73
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Chris Fauma WBZ, Boston's News Radio.

74
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>We finally entirely cleared the air here in Greater Boston

75
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>and we're off to the race. It is going to

76
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>be a good looking day already is here in the city.

77
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Some cities and towns are in the fifties as we

78
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>get rolling this morning at sunrise we are we do

79
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 2>have partly sunny skies here in the city. The moment

80
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>sixty two degrees right now. We're on our way to

81
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>about eighty in Boston today, slightly warmer in Inland locations.

82
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 2>This great stretch of weather is just going to get

83
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better and hotter and more humid too,

84
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>as we work our way through the weekend. Clear and

85
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>comfortable overnight Tonight, plenty of sunshine again, mid seventies Boston,

86
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow low eighties, and inland locations. Sunday we start to

87
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>turn the jets on. It's mostly sunny, but it's much

88
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>warmer with the high right around ninety degrees, and it

89
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>looks like this could be the beginning of an extended

90
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>heat wave, which some models indicate will take us through

91
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>the entirety of next week. With temperatures in excess of

92
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 2>ninety degrees. Right now in Boston, very cool and comfortable,

93
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>sixty two. Clear skies here in the city at six

94
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>oh six this Friday morning. A summertime mosquito menace shows

95
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>up once again in the Metro West region.

96
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, West Nile virus is detected in samples in Framingham.

97
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 3>Health officials there say it is enough to elevate the

98
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 3>city's risk to moderate. The spraying comes next. You know,

99
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 3>the drill, cover up and use some bug spray yourself,

100
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 3>especially outside down and dusk. No human cases of West

101
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 3>Nile have been reported this year in Massachusetts. That is

102
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 3>important to note. Drew maahalland WBZ.

103
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Boston's news radio workers walk on eggshells these days as

104
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>the Market Basket family food fight continues.

105
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 6>I love this company and that's why Valerie Pallito is

106
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.920
<v Speaker 6>speaking out, putting her job on the line. After thirty

107
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 6>five years at market Basket.

108
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 5>I wake up wondering if today's day that I'm not

109
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 5>going to be able to get in, but Mikey.

110
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 6>Kaid because of the major change in company culture, she says.

111
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 6>The store operation supervisor tells WBZ that she's received numerous

112
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 6>employee complaints within the grocery stores corporate headquarters, prompting her

113
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 6>to send this July eighteenth letter to the board of directors,

114
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 6>which reads, what was once a culture grounded in mutual respect, integrity,

115
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 6>and accountability has in recent months evolved into one defined

116
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 6>by fear, hostility, and lack of direction. It just wasn't

117
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 6>the market Basket that we have had before the twenty
