Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio re defining local news.
Speaker 1: The sun is coming out and it's twenty five degrees
Speaker 1: in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: freedman and here's what's happening. Donald Trump is once again
Speaker 1: President of the United States. He's now attending a Congressional
Speaker 1: luncheon on Capitol Hill. Earlier today, he delivered his inaugural address.
Speaker 1: CBS's Lynda Kenyon has more.
Speaker 2: The president said he would marshal the powers of his
Speaker 2: cabinet members.
Speaker 3: To defeat what was record inflation.
Speaker 2: Trump also vowed to impose major tariffs on foreign goods
Speaker 2: entering the US.
Speaker 3: For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service
Speaker 3: to collect all tariff's duties and revenues.
Speaker 2: He says. It will bring massive amounts of money into
Speaker 2: the US Treasury. Economists say it will lead to massive
Speaker 2: price hikes for average Americans. Linda Kenyon, CBS News the
Speaker 2: White House.
Speaker 1: President Trump also reiterated promises to crack down on the
Speaker 1: southern border. Shortly after the president took the oath of office,
Speaker 1: it was announced that an app called the CBP one
Speaker 1: had been shut down. CBP one allowed migrants to make
Speaker 1: an appointment for admission into the United States through legal
Speaker 1: ports of entry. All existing appointments were canceled when the
Speaker 1: program was shut down, and former President Biden pardoned his
Speaker 1: siblings and their spouses just before leaving office. The former
Speaker 1: president says he's protecting them from political retribution on the
Speaker 1: part of President Donald Trump. Biden also pardoned some public officials,
Speaker 1: including doctor Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milly, and members
Speaker 1: of the House January sixth Committee. None of the people
Speaker 1: Biden pardoned today have been charged with crimes. This comes
Speaker 1: as the new president teeses pardons of his own.
Speaker 4: Donald Trump has talked about burdens for the January sixth
Speaker 4: prisoners for those that were convicted of attacking the capital
Speaker 4: the plan. I am told by somebody familiar that Donald
Speaker 4: Trump was going to issue pardons for hundreds of them,
Speaker 4: but not all of them, that those that were involved
Speaker 4: in attacking police officers, for instance, would wait for a
Speaker 4: further review by his Justice Department. I am told that
Speaker 4: it is quite possible that he goes further now and
Speaker 4: truly issues blanket pardons for virtually everybody who attacked the
Speaker 4: Capitol in January sixth, in part because out of a
Speaker 4: reaction to what Joe Biden did.
Speaker 1: That was ABC's Jonathan Carl reporting there. Right now, it
Speaker 1: is twenty five degrees in Boston at four to four,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing mostly sunny skies today, mostly Clara. There
Speaker 1: are a couple of clouds where the sun is peeking through.

Speaker 1: four oh five, and we've now learned the identity of
Speaker 1: the woman who was killed in a pedestrian hit and
Speaker 1: run crash in Roxbury over the weekend. Taylor Wilkinson was
Speaker 1: one of the two people that were hit by a
Speaker 1: car on Washington Street around eight thirty Saturday night. She
Speaker 1: later died of her injuries. Wilkinson was a twenty year
Speaker 1: old sophomore at Fisher College. She leaves behind her twin sister,
