. >> john -- jon keller. >> they have every right to be, 40 miles and hour, imagine how much worse this could have been if there was a train stopped at one of the stations that that train blew through today. and while the run away train was an unusual event it is a fitting visual symbol of the appalling bad, out of control track record. accidents can happen, it's true. maybe that will turn out to be what happen today, but the catastrophic t failures of last winter were no accident, years of mismanagement, in competence and neglect, maybe we won't lose the line this winter now that they actually winterized it, as the multiple redline and green line service interruptions just this week far from being the reliable service, their legacy of failure and foolish necessary was underscored by emerging threats of cancellation of the groan line extension to medford in light of the complete bung ling of of that project's management by the bipartisan the baker administration is trying to turn this train wreck of a transit system around. but let's not kid ourselves, a turn around won't happen quickly

. >> and our jon keller has been tracking his progress all day and all night. he joins us now with an update. >> this is definitely the most inspirational assignment i've had all year monitoring santa and his reindeer as they deliver joy to kids all over the world and santa carries a lot of history with him, including a local twist to his legend that you may not have heard about. santa is on his way. these days every step of his journey is tracked by the north american aerospace defense command or norad and gets a jet escort during parts of the trip, but the story of santa hasn't always been so hi-tech. santa has his roots in the 4th century story of the gift giving st. nicholas, in the you can see the origins of what he would become. an 1822 poem by a college professor was an early account of what we associate with santa's visit and in 1862 an illustrator named thomas nass drew pictures of the santa we recognize today with his beard, girth and note taking on who has been naughty and nice. it may have been hard to believe watching santa make his way toward a we

. >> as jon keller now shows us, it took some doing to become the guy many people call the most hated man in america. >> lisa, david, it's not something any decent person would aspire to, but with his ultra arrogant dismissal of outrage over his price gouging and his alleged operation of a crude ponzi scheme, mr. shkreli has e -- emerged as most arguably america's most despicable greed head. it isn't easy becoming the poster boy for greed. there's plenty of competition. so how did 32-year-old martin shkreli pull it off? be on scene profit taking on a aids patients was one thing. bragging about it was another. >> reporter: if you could remind the clock a few months, i wonder if you would do anything differently? >> i probably would have raised the price higher is probably what i would have done. i could have raised it higher and made more profits for our shareholders, which is my primary duties. >> reporter: but today shkreli's commitment to his shareholders. the feds believe he was a criminal, much like his apparent role model, the scam wall street. >> the real question is this. is al

this morning jon keller gives us his take. >> freedom is not free is an old saying engraved on the korean war veterans memorial down in washington. and while it's meant as a reference to the sacrifices made by members of our military it applies to each of us in our every day lives as well. consider the damage we do to ourselves and each other by using hand held cell phones while driving. 27% of car crashes are tied to driver distraction from cell phone use. some involving texting, but most resulting from simply talking on or dialing the phone. thousand crashes we're talking deaths. and the true meaning of those numbers was apparent at the statehouse the other day as lawmakers heard the heartbreaking story of tom of norwood when he lost his the wheel. we already banned that in this state although enforcement is proven difficult. we probably have to go ahead and ban handheld conversations as well, because even after years of horror stories and official warnings, too many of us still cannot be bothered to exercise the minimal amount of care and patience needed to either enable hands free cel

. >> this morning jon keller looks like why the internet may be to blame. >> the innocent fibs we tell each other to make nice serve a purpose, you look great and oh, my this is delicious rhubarb pie. but i'm having some trouble understanding the big lies about big sub joke that people tell, why they do it and why there teams to be more and more of them. at least the two haverhill women who police say made up the christmas eve hoax of someone throwing a baby into the merrimack river were arraigned yesterday on serious charges, their true vile lie cost the taxpayers 50,000 bucks for the ensuing search and risked the safety of law enforcement personnel. why did they do it? you boston area that the cops say was vague and not credible, who put a fake bomb in the bathroom of an air france flight, jerk who sental la threat to the schools. i can't prove there are more of these crimes of it feels like there are, if so it's not hard to see why, the anonymity of the internet has powered people to say all sorts of things they would never have the nerve to say, and the publicity has emboldened the

tonight jon keller gets us closer to the definitions behind an ongoing debate. john? >> lisa, this is no mere word game. what we wind up calling this horrific event will have major impact on its prosecution, the political fallout from it and significant public policy changes that could result from it. >> it is possible that this was terrorist related. >> hillary clinton this afternoon. >> but it's becoming clearer that we are dealing with an act of terrorism. >> san bernardino congressman pete aguilar this evening, three democrats, three different takes on what happened yesterday and they're not the only ones who are confused. we asked our twitter followers today how they defined terrorism. "the targeted use of violence to achieve a political end," wrote one while another expanded it to political, religious or ideological personal grudges. the feds define terrorism as a violent effort to intimidate civilians or the government without mentioning motive and despite decades of trying the u.n. has never been able to agree on what terrorism is. what difference does it make

. >> this morning, jon keller to hate number 12. >> reporter: good morning, tom brady expect to do hold his final press conference of the year today and what a year it's been for brady, it began with yet another spectacular clutch performance in the super bowl, cementing his stature as the greatest quarterback of his era. but also with his integrity being questioned by bitter competitors, incompetent league officials and millions of fans of other teams who didn't let the real lack of any evidence determine their jealous loser fantasies, the case against him leapt out of court once and surely will be again next year. but the continuing campaign to defame and belittle brady and his accomplishments raises a question, where is all this hate coming from? after all, as a public it figure over the past 15 years, tom brady has never been less than a first class act. zero arrests, total professionalism on the job, work and compassionate interactions with fans during off hours. his scandal-free private life appears to involve total commitment to family, what more do people want? there's an old sa

. >> this morning, our jon keller looks at how we can help her family honor her memory. >> reporter: good morning. it's everyone's worst nightmare. a beloved friend or family member brutally murdered in a random act of inexplicable violence. and as little as we can say to colleen ritzer other than we're horrified and heart broken by what happened to her. in theory, her killer who was 14 when he committed the crime teenage 31. we can only hope judge david lowy exercises his authority to put him behind bars for life by imposing concurrent sentences, the ritzer family deserves prospect of having to relive right hand agony years from now in a possible parole process. i don't have much interest right now in trying to understand what compelled this murderer to descend in to savagery. the prison psychologists can work on that while the rest of us direct our understanding and compassion toward the victim's survivors. but the case does leave unanswered questions. could this criminals derangement have been better identified and treated to neutralize the threat he posed? what did his adult over

and in the morning, jon keller hoping that streak can last all winter. >> good morning, a long week full of depressing news, let's end it on a more positive note, i made clear my hope we get zero snow here in greater boston the less said the better. plenty of snow in the mountains for the skiers, cold enough retailers and outdoor ice in town. i hoped for it but i never thought it was possible. but now i see where forecasters in line with the speculation of our own ace meteorologists here weather we've been enjoying all fall could well continue deep in to the winter season. the el nino system is expected to hold off that hideous polar vortex that kept us in the deep freeze last winter, and while they're not entirely sure, there's evidence it could keep the mild weather going right through until spring, just imagine: no iceberg-sized snow banks to go where you go, when we cheer on the pats super bowl victory parade, no ice dams, no sore backs and shoulders from hours of you know what, consider the economic boosts from having parking spaces when you go out shopping, the clubs and theaters w

. >>> and the data breach controversy as the democrats hampshire, remember jon keller will have a full wrapup of the date. >>> police have arrested the teenager driver of a stolen jeep a a crash in summerville. the 18-year-old driver was trying to get away from officers when he hit the man friday afternoon under 93, the victim was standing in the median, he was seriously injured but expected to >>> a family was run-down while trying to cross the street, wbz jim smith reports a father was pushing his two young children in a stroller when they were hit by a car. >> my heart goes out, it's a sad thing to happen especially this time of the year, last thing you want to hear of. >> a sad story, three people hit by a car including a two- year-old girl, the child was struck by a saw about are you with damage to the right side old girl was hit, along with the father. >> we heard the noise and we came out here because the lady creaming, when we came out she was sitting on the ground and the guy was sitting on the ground and she was sitting next to the baby but the baby was in the carriage, that

jon keller speaks -- sets down with the speaker of the house review. >> well, good morning. us. and i hope you're enjoying your holiday season. and -- as you may have noticed, we're taking time here at the end of the year to reflect back and look ahead with some of the state's leading political figures and that describes our guest this morning. the speaker of the massachusetts house, happy new year. >> thank you and statement to you, john and many, many more. good health. >> and how are you feel something. >> i am feeling wonderful. and ready to go with the new year and very excited. >> and is that a threat to you? >> your opponents, sir? >> we will see what happens. >> you're not doping it. that is a good headline. >> and looking back on 2015, mr. speaker, what would you say accomplishment? i think. addressing the key issue and to the point where we found a control board, which basically put -- gave the power of the control board to the governor and, therefore, had more say so in terms of the fund. in addition to that, i think the waiver of the pacheco law and gave the governor
