00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio re defining local news.

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>The sun is coming out and it's twenty five degrees

3
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 1>in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm I'm a

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>freedman and here's what's happening. Donald Trump is once again

5
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States. He's now attending a Congressional

6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>luncheon on Capitol Hill. Earlier today, he delivered his inaugural address.

7
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>CBS's Lynda Kenyon has more.

8
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 2>The president said he would marshal the powers of his

9
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>cabinet members.

10
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 3>To defeat what was record inflation.

11
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Trump also vowed to impose major tariffs on foreign goods

12
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 2>entering the US.

13
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.920
<v Speaker 3>For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service

14
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 3>to collect all tariff's duties and revenues.

15
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>He says. It will bring massive amounts of money into

16
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>the US Treasury. Economists say it will lead to massive

17
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>price hikes for average Americans. Linda Kenyon, CBS News the

18
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 2>White House.

19
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>President Trump also reiterated promises to crack down on the

20
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 1>southern border. Shortly after the president took the oath of office,

21
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 1>it was announced that an app called the CBP one

22
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>had been shut down. CBP one allowed migrants to make

23
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>an appointment for admission into the United States through legal

24
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>ports of entry. All existing appointments were canceled when the

25
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 1>program was shut down, and former President Biden pardoned his

26
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>siblings and their spouses just before leaving office. The former

27
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>president says he's protecting them from political retribution on the

28
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 1>part of President Donald Trump. Biden also pardoned some public officials,

29
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>including doctor Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milly, and members

30
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of the House January sixth Committee. None of the people

31
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Biden pardoned today have been charged with crimes. This comes

32
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>as the new president teeses pardons of his own.

33
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 4>Donald Trump has talked about burdens for the January sixth

34
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 4>prisoners for those that were convicted of attacking the capital

35
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 4>the plan. I am told by somebody familiar that Donald

36
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Trump was going to issue pardons for hundreds of them,

37
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 4>but not all of them, that those that were involved

38
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 4>in attacking police officers, for instance, would wait for a

39
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 4>further review by his Justice Department. I am told that

40
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 4>it is quite possible that he goes further now and

41
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 4>truly issues blanket pardons for virtually everybody who attacked the

42
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Capitol in January sixth, in part because out of a

43
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 4>reaction to what Joe Biden did.

44
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>That was ABC's Jonathan Carl reporting there. Right now, it

45
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>is twenty five degrees in Boston at four to four,

46
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.919

00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.759

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.759

00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>like it's single digits at times. Tonight. Tomorrow, well, we're

<v Speaker 1>the woman who was killed in a pedestrian hit and

62
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>run crash in Roxbury over the weekend. Taylor Wilkinson was

63
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 1>one of the two people that were hit by a

00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 1>car on Washington Street around eight thirty Saturday night. She

67
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>who is also a student at Fisher. The school's president

68
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.360

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>life m legacy of the late civil rights activist who

83
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 5>Progress has been made, but how do we increase that?

84
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 5>How do we address the issues of numbering, inequality? And

85
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 5>I mustn't remind people Dad wasn't killed because he was

86
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 5>talking about sitting in a restaurant eating what we wanted

87
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 5>to eat, or sitting in front of a bus. He

88
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 5>was killed because he was talking about economic empowerment for

89
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 5>more people.
