The NFL trade deadline arrives at four o'clock this afternoon.

in the Commonwealth. The race for mayor includes just one
name on the ballot, like right here in Boston with
(01:04):
Michelle wou Not so in Everett, where a long time
and controversial mayor tries for a seventh term.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's looking like it will be a close one between
a combent Mayor Carlo de Maria and his challenger, city
councilor Robert Van Campen. Campen has been a vocal critic
of his opponent, citing reports that the eighteen year incumbent
mayor accepted bonus money payments that he should not have,
saying it's time for change.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Day.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Maria has denied any wrongdoing and is running on his
record as a city leader, from bringing a casino to
Everett to the effort to eventually bring a soccer stadium
also in Everett. James Rojas w b Z Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Poles will open in fifty five cities and towns in
the Commonwealth at seven o'clock this morning. Federal government shutdown
wraps up its fifth week today, and at thirty five
days long, it ties the all time longest shut down
in American history, set during President Trump's first term. Senators
will vote for a fourteenth time today to end it,
and for a fourteenth time, it is expected to fail. However,
(02:00):
top Republicans and Democrats in the House offer up a
new solution that Senate Majority Leader John Thune believes could
wrap things up as soon as this week. The new
package would extend the current funding deal to January. Thoon
is so far rejected President Trump's call to end the
filibuster in the House, which would require or in the Senate,
which would require just a simple majority rather than sixty
(02:21):
votes to end the stalemates. Thanksgiving interrupt us coming to
an airport near you, and it's because of the shutdown.
WBC's Drew Mholland with a word of warning. Good morning Andrew,
Good morning Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, that shutdown does not play well for people flying
somewhere tsa security lines keep an anxious would be airline
travelers in lines for hours and now. The US Travel
Association says this stalemate could be a disaster for families
traveling over Thanksgiving break. Are you flying anywhere?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No, okay, I mean either I'm driving. But it's one
of the busiest travel weekends, if not the busiest of
the year. Last year's Thanksgiving you probably remember it was
one of the busiest on record. The group says the
shutdown could cost the travel and tourism industry billions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This year doesn't sound like a lot of fun for
millions tens of millions of people who will be on
the road and in the air. Yes, holiday season books
can be a little bit deceiving. We do have wind
gusts topping thirty miles per hour right now, so if
it's trash day in your neighborhood, you might want to
put a tether on the barrels and the recycling bins.
Today it's forty seven degrees right now in Boston. Kind
(03:25):
of a chilly start to the day. Now. Temperatures will
rise to about sixty later on this afternoon, and we'll
see full sunshine from start to finish today. But it's
the wind that's going to get us, with gusts topping
forty miles per hour throughout the afternoon. These gusts will
gradually die down overnight tonight under mainly clear skies. We're
back in the forties. Tomorrow is a beautiful day, and
it's November's full Beaver moon on tap for tomorrow. You're
(03:48):
getting glimpse of its glimpses of it now under a
mix of sun and clouds. Tomorrow, we're expecting daytime highs
to approach sixty once again. There is a slight chance
of an afternoon shower or two, and then for the
balance of the work week Thursday and Friday, looks like
we're going to be seeing more moderate temperatures with highs
in the lower fifties. Right now in Boston, it is
a crystal clear sky at sunrise here in the city
(04:10):
and forty seven degrees at six oh five on this
Tuesday morning. The caution sign is up along the waterfront
in Boston and many shoreline communities This week in advance
of November's full moon, we've got some movement in the
moon department.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Cities and towns along the waterfront are getting ready for
king tide. State and local officials say a portion of
Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester could be shut down starting this
morning for what could be some minor flooding during the
moon's closest path to Earth this year. The next high
tide is just before nine thirty. This year's Beaver moon
peaks tomorrow afternoon. It is the second of three consecutive
(04:43):
supermoons to wrap up the year, and flooding advisories have
been posted for the next few days. Jay will Let

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Bizarre behavior at Conquered Carlisle Public Schools. Someone has been
putting makeshift scarecrows around town, targeting Superintendent Laurie Hunter. The
displays throughout Conquered includes some potential threatening messages as well.
School official Safe Police have been notified and they're taking
the threats very seriously. Comedian John Stuart is having too
(05:12):
much fun now back at the anchor desk for Comedy
Central's The Daily Show, Stuart says he's going to stick
around for at least another year. He returned to the
platform that put him on the map last year. His
current contract was set to expire next month, but instead
Stuart will remain the Monday night only host through all
(05:32):
of twenty twenty six. Since Stuart's return, ratings for The
Daily Show have improved dramatically. A Fight for Your entertainment
dollar turns a little bit nastier today after YouTube TV
rejects a request by the Disney Company to restore its
ABC and DESPN networks on Election Day. The dust up
over distribution fees and rights continues between the network and
(05:55):
the streaming service. Lack of a new contract has left
those stations dark since on millions of customers TVs. Both
sides accused the other of being unreasonable in their demands.
YouTube says it's prepared to offer subscribers a twenty dollars
credit if the disagreement drags on and popstar Halsey can
breathe easier.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
