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
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.
Thank you.

blanket of clouds here in Boston this morning. We're expecting some shower activity, although the radar right now is pretty quiet here in Boston this 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.
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.
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
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.
Well.
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.
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?
I know.
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.
There's a tiny stereo cassette player with truly incredible sound. Hey, hey, son, I try it out.
Imagine music on the go, Jeffrey with our headphone.
Can you imagine that?
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.
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.
Thing ever, but it was beautiful.
