Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZY, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Good morning,
party people, six o'clock on a Tuesday, kind of foggy
and otherwise cloudy here in Boston, but warm and muggy too.
It is seventy degrees as we get going this Tuesday morning,
(00:22):
The News at six brought to us by You're a
New England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters.
I'm Jeff Brown. Welcome aboard. It's soupy. It's swampy in Boston.
Clowns and breaks of sun with a few showers and
thunderstorms around, especially from midday into the evening. This WBZ
achi weather meteorologist Heather's are high. Temperatures will be near
ninety today. As America is about to turn two hundred
(00:44):
and forty nine years old, millions of us are going places.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Always get out of town a couple of days before
the fourth that's a safe protocol for sure.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It's a solid game plan, as Brian and his family
are not the only ones here a logan getting away
for the holiday weekend. But can I ask, what were you guys heading.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
On Lusia celebrate you know, in warm weather and on
the beach.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Also going to a beach our Jack and Lily.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
We're gonna Newport Beach, California.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
How that listen?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I play by her a little bit. Did you
book today knowing that I'll try to beat the.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Rush from No, we didn't the cheapest flight. We're almost
being the rush.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So it's good thinking about this morning. Nationwide, the TSA
expects to screen over eighteen million travelers between today and
July sixth. At Logan, James Rojas WBZ Boston's news radio
and if.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You are at Logan Airport this morning, you might need
to cool your jets a little bit. Flight Aware is
reporting about fifty delays and cancelations on the board. At
this moment, summer jobs for teenagers might be a thing
of the past. The signs are there, with teenage unemployment
this summer at more than thirteen percent. That rivals a
decade old high of close to eighteen percent back in
(01:52):
twenty fifteen. Teenagers say they're lured in by help wanted
signs only to learn the jobs in questions sometimes don't exist,
or someone else got the job. Oftentimes an adult economic
uncertainty also leaves many teenagers with nothing to do. This summer,
not two weeks since being acquitted. HEREO zero zero one
is not quilty and zero zero three not quilty.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Karen Reid goes Hollywood. The forty five year old Mansfield
woman cuts a deal to bring her story to Tinsiltown.
Reid continues her business relationship with lead attorney Alan Jackson
to do this deal with LBI Productions. Officials with the
company says Reed's story is not just a legal thriller,
It's about what happens when a single voice refuses to
be silenced. Well, this changes everything. Today is the first
(02:38):
day that the NCAA will allow colleges and universities to
begin paying student athletes. The landmark ruling from a federal
judge now creates a revenue sharing opportunity between schools and athletes.
The settlement, approved last month forces the organization to pay
two point eight billion dollars over the next decade. The
Power five conferences and other schools which opt in will
(03:00):
again at more than twenty million dollars this year, with
increases scheduled in years to come. Those payments are on
top of scholarships and other student benefits. Red Sox fire
Away on the Reds too late the call on Nessen.
It's a record setting night for Willier Abray you at
Fenway Socks and Cincinnati will go again first pitch at
(03:22):
seven ten tonight and the Celtics are shape shifting before
our eyes. Is another link to banner number eighteen Hits
the Road. What you see is what you get this morning.
As you open the blinds, you're going to see it's
very foggy in some areas and otherwise just a low
blanket of clouds here in Boston this morning. We're expecting
some shower activity, although the radar right now is pretty
(03:44):
quiet here in Boston this morning. It's going to fire
up a little bit later on today with some showers
and thunderstorms moving through the area. We might even see
some breaks of sun along the way. This is one
of those shaky summer days that almost anything goes. The
atmosphere is unstable because we do have a lot of
humidity in the air. High temperatures today will be right
around ninety degrees. It is going to continue to be
(04:05):
very uncomfortable overnight to night, lows only in the lower seventies.
Tomorrow promises to be a slightly quieter day with partly
sunny skies and high temperatures once again in the mid eighties.
Very warm Fourth of July week continues on Thursday, with
partly sunny skies ninety for a high and on the
holiday itself, it looks like it's going to be just
a spectacular day with high temperatures right around eighty five.
(04:26):
Right down in Boston, it is seventy clouds and fog
this morning in the city six six this Tuesday morning.
Senators on Capitol Hill continue to burn the midnight oil
as the VODA rama continues on hundreds of amendments to
President Trump's Big, Beautiful Budget bill plods along.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
The bill includes roughly four trillion dollars in tax cuts
for the wealthy, along with new funding for immigration enforcement
and fulfill some campaign pledges like no taxes on tips
and overtime. It also guts biden era clean energy initiatives
and slashes Medicate, something so Trump promised he would not do.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
ABC's Mary Bruce. The President has delivered a self imposed
deadline of the fourth of July to get a bill
back to his desk, but he is willing to grant
some wiggle room if passed by the Senate. A return
trip to the House is up next, and time is
simply running short. Well, if the Big Beautiful Budget Bill
does pass, Elon Musk promises he'll be out for revenge.
He promises to launch a Third America Party with the
(05:25):
sole purpose of targeting Republican candidates up for reelection. Musk
says the budget still stinks and eliminates much of the
savings that his Doge team accomplished. The Congressional Budget Office
says more than ten million Americans will lose health coverage
through Medicaid over the years, and the nation's debt will
increase by more than three trillion dollars in the coming
years as well.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
At one point, we thought we were so cool forty
six years ago today, but he Bz's Drew mo'holland is
here with a walk down memory Lane.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Good morning, Andrew, Good morning Jeffrey. The Sony Walkman, the
what the Kid? Yeah, come on now, you don't know
what that is, right?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
This was a game changer when it made its debut.
At the time, The Walkman revolutionized the way we listen
to music. The Sony Walkman.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
There's a tiny stereo cassette player with truly incredible sound. Hey, hey, son,
I try it out.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Imagine music on the go, Jeffrey with our headphone.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Can you imagine that?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
The Walkman went from concept to sale in just a
few months. The first ones needed custom made batteries, just
three thousand sales in the first month, but marketing people
did their thing and turned the tide on the walk.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And then the headphones. I don't know if you remember,
they were just they weren't very comfortable, and they didn't
have great sound quality. I'm sure for the times we
thought that was the coolest.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Thing ever, but it was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We've come so far. You are now in the loop.
