00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 2>News fifty three degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. President Trump says there

4
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 2>will be a nearly one month tariff delay on most

5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.199
<v Speaker 2>products from both Canada and Mexico. The President's signing an

6
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>executive order just a short time ago in the Oval Office.

7
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 2>It delays tariffs on all goods under the United States

8
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Mexico Canada Agreement. This agreement makes the three North American

9
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>nations a free trade zone. The terroriffs are delayed until

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>April second. The President said he still plans to impose

11
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>reciprocal tariffs. Then it comes after the President put an

12
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>exemption on auto terriffs from the two countries yesterday. Also,

13
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Representatives has voted to center Texas Democrat Al Green two

14
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty four to one ninety eighth the vote

15
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 2>after he disrupted President Trump's addressed to Congress this week.

16
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>All Republicans, along with ten Democrats, voted in favor of

17
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Before the vote, Speaker Mike Johnson said the resolution was necessary.

18
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>We take no pleasure in this. I gave repeated warnings

19
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>to Representative Green to stand down and to sit down,

20
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 3>and he refused to do it. He chose to deliberately

21
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 3>violate House rules in a manner that we think is

22
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 3>probably unprecedented in history.

23
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 2>House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries, though voted no.

24
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 4>Republicans are playing political and partisan games with their censor

25
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 4>resolutions because they are on the run.

26
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Green is the fifth member of Congress to be centered

27
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>this decade. For now, Democratic states have a leg up.

28
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>In a case brought by several states, a federal judge

29
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>is issued in order blocking the Trump administration from pausing

30
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>federal funding.

31
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 5>In issuing this nationwide injunction blocking January's funding pause, where

32
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 5>an Island based federal judge, John McConnell accused the executive

33
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 5>branch of putting itself above Congress imposing a categorical mandate

34
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 5>over spending. Lawmakers have already approved McConnell's ruling. Sites the

35
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 5>Eight Year War, the Founders fought quote against a monarch's

36
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 5>cruel reign, reminding readers that the system the Framers devised

37
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 5>gives the House and Senate the power of the purse.

38
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>That is ABC Stephen Portnoy claims for jobless benefits took

39
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 2>a dipp last month, even more than expected.

40
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 1>Fewer Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week. Jobless filings

41
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>dropped by twenty one thousand for a total of two

42
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty one thousand, significantly fewer than analysts expected.

43
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 1>It's another sign the labor market remained steady before an

44
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>expected purge of federal government employees. The jobless claims are

45
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>considered a proxy for layoffs, and some analysts expect the

46
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>federal workforce slashing ordered by Elon Musk's doze effort will

47
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 1>show up in the report in coming weeks or months.

48
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>The government will release last month's jobs report tomorrow. Saga Magani, Washington.

49
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 2>We do have a wind advisory that goes up at

50
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>seven o'clock this evening for areas in eastern Massachusetts, but

51
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>we do have a high wind warning for parts of

52
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>central Massachusetts where the winds could gust north of fifty

53
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 2>sixty miles an hour later on tonight. The winds will

54
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 2>start to pick up this evening. You'll feel them and

55
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>perhaps hear them shaking the house a shower or too

56
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>early this evening, mostly Capean Islands. Before we clear out

57
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>temperatures near thirty in the city, some upper twenties in

58
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the suburbs, and the real fields with those winds as

59
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>they start to whip around, will fall back into the teens.

60
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>A very windy day Tomorrow, despite plenty of sunshine, we'll

61
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>only get into the low to mid forties, and with

62
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 2>the wind it'll feel at least early like it's in

63
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the teens and twenties. Blustery Tomorrow, night thirty one for

64
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>the low sun and some clouds. On Saturday, still windy,

65
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>temperatures in the low forties Sunday, partly to mostly sunny

66
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>high of forty two. Right now it is fifty three

67
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>degrees see in Boston in a galaxy far far away

68
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>now just kidding, it's in Summerville. A death star worth

69
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>of Star Wars memorabilias given away. Wbz's Matt Sheer introduces

70
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>us to the force behind the Big Gift.

71
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.000
<v Speaker 6>It seems like almost every Star Wars toy you could

72
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 6>imagine is boxed up here in James Kelly's basement.

73
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like an old guy with all this

74
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>stuff and it's gotta go.

75
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 6>Gotta go because of something involving his landlord. You didn't

76
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 6>want to go into details.

77
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

78
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 6>Rather than sell everything and almost certainly make big bucks.

79
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Money is an illusion.

80
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 6>Anyway, he had a better idea.

81
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>We just had that wildfire in California.

82
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm show a lot of those people lost their stuff.

83
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 6>Two problems though, one shipping and two distributing. So a

84
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 6>few days later I went back to his place with

85
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 6>an army of stormtroopers and Jedi.

86
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you guys have blown him.

87
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 6>We had some good news. DHL offered to ship everything

88
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 6>for free, and we found a group called the Lost

89
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 6>Stuffy Project, who distribute toys to kids who lost everything

90
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 6>in La.

91
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 5>We go to hear, We're gonna make people's lives better.

92
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 6>This is one of my high points in life in Summerville.
