than this time of year. Listen to Tito yesterday morning.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I've been in full uni since quarter to ten, and
you know, if they were asking us to go do
calculus or something, I'd be scared to death. This is baseball,
and as long as that stays baseball, let's go see
if we can be good enough.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You gotta love. That's just great. That's the spirit. It's
a great time of year, and the Red Sox are
still alive, which is the most important part. Indeed, we're
going to be dodging some rain drops as we are
this morning, some scattered showers on the radar out the door.
In Boston. It's mainly dry, but cloudy and sixty five
right now, so still very mild and muggy here in
the city. Temperatures will only be right around this mark,
(03:57):
or perhaps as warm as seventy later this afternoon. We
are expecting some scattered showers throughout the entire day, almost
at any time, so an umbrella might be necessary if
you plan any extended period outdoors. You're going to continue
with this unsettled weather pattern. Overnight Tonight, mostly cloudy, another
couple of showers, lows around sixty Tomorrow, looks like we
could catch the brunt of it, with the potential for
(04:17):
some heavy downpours, especially later in the morning and the
earliest in the afternoon. Starts to taper off as we
reach the overnight hours, and then it looks like we're
setting up to a warm and muggy weekend. Friday, Saturday,

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Homeland Security has been running this type of ad in
other Democratic led cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
Now they're running in the Boston area looking to attract
new recruits from local police apartments. It's drawing mixed reactions.
It's good in a way that it stops illegal immigration,
and then like kind of stops like an illegal migrants
from being here.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
It seems to be draining, like well trained people away
from the variety of needs of police officers that you
need in local communities.

efforts across New England at South Station. James Rojas w

Who survey says more than three quarters of Americans do
not believe President Trump should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

do not believe mister Trump should be given the honor.
(05:53):
Most Americans also felt the same way when former President
Obama was awarded the Peace Prize in two thousand and
nine years no Bell awards will be revealed next month.

considering launching a challenge in the primary to fellow Democratic
Senator Ed Markey in next year's midterm elections. The sixth
(06:17):
term representative from Salem Harbor's no secrets that a new
generation of national leaders in the Democratic Party is needed,
and at the age of forty six, a primary challenge
to the seventy nine year old Senator Markie fits the bill. Moulton, though,
tells the Globe no final decision has been made on
a potential race. All this proof even old masters aren't
above borrowing here and there.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Researchers at Amsterdam's Reich's Museum say they've solved a centuries
old mystery. They now believe a dog in the shadows
of Rembrandt's sixteen forty two masterpiece The Night Watch was
inspired by a drawing by another artist, or copied from
an engraving by yet another, where the title page of
a book. A quick look at all three proves they're
almost identical. The museum's director says, the celebrated painter, at
(07:01):
a huge print collection, studied his predecessors and borrowed from
them as well. The remaining mystery exactly what kind of
dog it is. Headigrees didn't exist in the seventeenth century.
