You ready for Friday, because I believe Friday is ready
for you. It is six o'clock on this Friday morning,
and we're waking up under mostly cloudy skies in fifty
six degrees. The News at six brought to us by
your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters.
Welcome aboard this morning. I'm Jeff Brown. Another nice day
with a sea.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Breeze, harty sunny today.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
We'll have a high near seventy down town, though it's
going to make it into the minto upper seventies.

game lead. Red Sox will be on the road. They

Security at the Vatican will be tight as a drum
this weekend for tomorrow's funeral for Pope Francis. President Trump
and the First Lady will join dozens of other heads
of state and royalty representing in Saint Peter's Basilica. Back home,
nothing appears to be sacred for the future of the
(01:21):
Catholic Church. Bookmakers are already taking bets on one of
the hottest things going, who will be the next Pope.
According to a recent report, gamblers are ready to place
bets and it's one of the top thirty most active
betting markets so far this year. The College of Cardinals
will enter conclave early next month in the Sistine Chapel
to begin voting. It started as a joke, Should I
(01:44):
run again? You tell me, It's now become mainstream. The
Trump Store begins teasing a third term for President Trump
by selling new Trump twenty twenty eight hats. Almost since
day one of his second term, the President has been
hitting in third and as time goes by, it seems
to be more than just to tease. The President says
(02:05):
there are ways to get around constitutional term limits, but
also says it's way too early to start thinking or
talking about that. Wanted artists, The Trump administration is calling
on sculptors to come up with ideas for the Garden

fiftieth anniversary celebration. Winning bids come with a two hundred
(02:25):
thousand dollars federal grant with money from the National Endowment
for the Humanities. The White House is interested in sculptures
of traditional and non traditional heroes, and is not interested
in abstract or modernist designs. Younger Americans' money dances like
sugar plums in their heads. Wbz's Drew mo'holland is here
to explain this one. What's going on, Good Morning, Jeffrey.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Some of America's younger generations say they are in a
good place financially when compared to their parents and older generations.
Recent pull from NBC News finds more than a quarter
of the eighteen to twenty nine year old crowd those
are the kids, apparently, that's what we're saying. Eighteen to
twenty nine say their money is on more solid ground
this year compared to one year ago. But the older
you get, the less confident Americans feel about their balance
(03:09):
sheets over all, though a majority in all age groups
say their personal financial situation is worse today than this
time last year.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So what you're telling me is their confidence. But then again,
maybe not all that confidence. Yes, I guess that's good
to know. Back to you, it looks like another relatively
nice day and greater Boston today. We are starting under
cloudy skies, though in fifty six degrees. We will see
some sunshine along the way today. Temperatures are going to
be a little bit warmer in inland locations because we
(03:37):
do have a sea breeze coming at us. Along the
shoreline and especially the north shore, will struggle to stay
warm a little bit later today, as temperatures will stall
out in the sixties there, but will be around seventy
of the rest of the shore and into the mid
seventies in inland location. Some areas might get as warm
as eighty degrees this afternoon. This weekend not so fortunate.
The timing is simply terrible, and even with expecting rain tomorrow,
(04:02):
it looks like the timing has been moved up a
little bit. The rain will arrive, it looks like sometime
tomorrow morning and continue throughout much of the day, although
later in the day it might tape her off. And
then on Sunday, it looks like we're going to start
to see some sunshine back in the picture, but cooler
temperatures eyes only in the upper fifties to low sixties.
Big warm up in the cards for next week. We're
(04:22):
talking temperatures in the eighty degree range. Right now, it's
cloudy skies in fifty six here in Boston on this
Friday morning, it is six oh six. If a tree
falls in the forest today, many people will hear it.
What better way to celebrate Arbor Day than to be
among the trees and nature. That's what Deanna and her
friends are doing.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
It's awesome out here. You can hear the birds, the owls,
You see the deer running around, sometimes a fox. It's
a fun time out here connecting with nature.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Admittedly, she was not aware it was a holiday, but
that's okay. She's still a fan.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
The pines are beautiful. There's some birch trees along the
way out here in the reservation.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So yeah, I'm Mercy from California, so I'm biased the
to a palm tree, not that many over here.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
I'm Actually, I grew Upinstathern, California, so yeah, I know
you won't see palm trees here.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
For those who are aware of the day, a lot
of events are planned all around, with folks rolling up
their sleeves and planting more trees around the community at
breakheart James Rojas WBZ Boston Snooze Radio.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I'll ever hear this in the middle of the night
often sends chills up a spine. Many people say it
sounds like a screaming child, but it's a fisher cat
and they're being saved. On the South Shore this week.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
In Cohacid, construction crews found baby fishers inside of a
tree I was about to be processed by a machine
to come down. Cohasset Natural Resource officers were called in
to help, and they did. They arrived and brought the
fisher babies deep into the woods so they could hopefully
make their way back to their mother. For years, there
weren't many sightings of fishers south of Boston, but they've
been spotted on trail cams in recent years. While commonly
(05:57):
referred to as fisher cats, their DNA what's them in
the same family as weasels? They are nocturnal, sometimes spotted
during the day in the spring as it's their breeding season.

Several airline executives are warning of turbulence ahead as business
starts to slow down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Top executives from three different airlines are warning shareholders to
buckle up.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Uncertainty is the word of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
American Airlines CEO Robert Isiam Bob Jordan, the CEO at Southwest,
says business travel is okay, but leisure early.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
February, we began to see the economic weakness creep in.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
That's the same from Alaska Air CEO Ben Manucci. I
think we're.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Seeing what everyone else is seeing on the domestic leisure front,
is a softening of domestic leisure demand.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Each CEO separately telling CNBC bookings dropped three then six percent,
up ending their profit forecasts for the year. Rooralneo, WBZ
