Speaker 2 (00:05):
News, sixty four degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,
I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. President Biden is on
the ground in New Hampshire. He is expected to speak
shortly at Conqueror's New Hampshire Technical Institute about prescription drug prices.
(00:27):
He's joined by New Hampshire lawmakers as well as Vermont
Senator Bernie Sanders. Meantime, it is a busy day for
both of the presidential candidate's. Former President Trump holds a
rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, while Vice President Harris is
off the campaign trail doing some taped interviews.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He is taping two television interviews. But we are seeing
the surrogates out there, obviously her running mate, Governor Walls
in Wisconsin. You're going to see Barack Obama out there
as well, with him today in Madison, the college town
in Wisconsin, trying to drum up the youth vote. Bill Clinton,
the former president, also out there in the campaign trail.
But the messages really turnout at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's ABC's Karen Travers. The US intelligence officials says foreign
actors are trying to divide Americans ahead of the election
over President Trump courting Latino voters in Florida. Says he
has people watching the election for any anomalies.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
We have a lot of lawyers working.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
We have lawyers work in numbers of lawyers that nobody's
ever seen before.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Two weeks from today is election day. Mail in voting
is well underway, but heads up, there's a tiny little
error that could make your mail in ballot not count.
Ben Hoveland is the chair of the US Election Assistance
Commission and says, and that has to do with your signature.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
It's a safety measure that a lot of Americans don't
know about, is that your signature is compared to the
one on file. So when you sign that absentee or
mail ballot envelope, election workers who are trained look at
that and compare it to the signature they have on file,
usually that's from your voter registration.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Mail in ballots will get rejected if you forget to
sign your ballot altogether, or if you don't get it
in on time. Story Secretary Janet Yellen says the United
States has come a long way since the nation was
caught in the grips of the COVID pandemic.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
America's strong economic performance is leaving the way as a
key engine of global growth.
Speaker 8 (02:12):
And Secretary Yellen credits the Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
We went from millions having lost their jobs to an
historic labor market recovery.
Speaker 8 (02:22):
She says. Unemployment is near all time lows, and US.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Real wage growth has outperformed that of most of their
advanced economies.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
She says the IMF has upgraded its economic outlook for
the US this year. Stacey Lynn, CBS News Washington.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Work stuff closer for getting a whole new mode of transportation.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
The agency is releasing final guidelines needed to train and
qualify pilots to fly powered lift aircraft, which have the
characteristics of both airplanes and helicopters. The goal is to
use powerlift aircraft for air taxis and for short haul
operations like air ambulances and cargo delivery. This category of
civil aircraft is the first in early eighty years, and
(03:05):
the actions of the FAA will make them one step
closer to operational reality. Lindy Kenyon, CBS News Washington.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
We did get into the seventies in many spots we
didn't hit seventy in Boston, though we have retreated a
bit into the mid sixties. It'll be mainly clear tonight,
fairly mild, mainly in the fifties. Warm Tomorrow, mid seventies
with a good deal of sunshine, and then clouds thicken up.
Tomorrow night it'll become breezy. A couple of showers get
in here and hang with us until the early part
of Thursday. Eventually, Thursday brings us back some sunshine. It'll
(03:36):
be breezy, though in much cooler temperatures load a mid sixties,
only in the upper fifties for most of us, with
some sunshine Friday right now sixty four degrees in Boston.
Tonight at the Garden, Loud and proud, the Celtics will
hoist their championship banner number eighteen tonight and then chip
(04:00):
off a brand new season to try to become champion again.
The party started early on Canal Street. Wvz's James Rojas
is at a duncan there where special Celtics visitors served
coffee with a spin.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
The coffee isn't the only thing that's being served hot
and fresh at this duncan on Canal Street. So are
Lucky the leprechauns moves and ball handling skills.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Its awesome.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
I didn't expect it to see Lucky here.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You paid for my drink and everything.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You think a great way to start the season too.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I know it is a great way to stop the
season off.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Tonight is tonight. Tonight is definitely the night Lucky has
been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I started right after we won the last championship, so
I missed out on the celebrations last time.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
So I've literally been waiting.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
My whole career for today. So it couldn't be more excited.
Maybe more excited were the folks surprised with Duncan gift
car into souvenir basketball's shirts, hats, and oh yeah, some
tickets to tonight's game.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Let's go South, Let's go Here, me gone.

the Fall Classic, which starts on Friday, Dodgers and Yankees
and tickets to Game one in La. Pony up.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
When the Yankees face off against the Dodgers here in
LA on Friday night, it will be the first time
the two have gone head to head in the World
Series in forty three years. A battle of the home
run Giant, So Tany versus g'st Coast versus West Coast,
Hollywood versus Broadway. I can keep going, but the cheapest
seats for Friday Night's game, which by the way, are
(05:41):
not great, seats high in the upper deck out by
the foul pole are going for about twelve hundred bucks
a seat. The most expensive seats forty five thousand dollars
a seed down the third baseline Alex Stone, ABC News
Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, I'll take a pair of those. Yeah. Nine days
to Halloween, you know, spooky and those already in full
steam ahead mode. And there's a list out the best
Halloween vacation destinations in the US. You might want to
think witches.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
At the top of the list is Salem, Massachusetts, side
of the infamous Salem Witch Trials of sixteen ninety two.
Next up is Sleepy Hollow, New York, the setting of
the famous Washington Irving tale about the headless horseman. Then
there's the Big Easy. New Orleans gets the top spot
on the list for turning its Halloween celebrations up to
an eleven. A Nooka, Minnesota gets a spot on the
(06:30):
list for its family friendly celebrations, including numerous parades, And
it's back to the South for the fifth spot. Savannah,
