THIS IS
THIS IS KGW NEWS AT SUNRISE BROOK LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LEFT
IN HIS TERM THERE ARE RENEWED
CALLS TO REMOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP
FROM OFFICE.
FROM OFFICE. BUT IF HE'S IMPEACHED OR
REMOVED BY THE 25TH AMENDMENT
CAN HE RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN?
WE'RE GOING TO VERIFY THE
ANSWER FOR YOU THIS MORNING >>
THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE MOVING ON
TO DON'T WHO DON'T HAVE TO PAY.
THE >> STATE IS MAKING VERY
CLEAR WHO SHOULD GET THE
VACCINE FIRST.
VACCINE FIRST. WE SPOKE TO THE OREGON HEALTH
AUTHORITY TO FIGURE OUT WHY
SOME OF THOSE GUIDELINES GOT
LOST IN TRANSLATION.
I >> LOVE THE STORY OUT
OF CLARK COUNTY THIS MORNING.
THIS IS A SCHOOL UNDER
CONSTRUCTION IN VNANCOUVER AND
THE STUDENTS OF THAT SCHOOL ARE
HELPING WITH THE PROJECT.
THEY CREATED SOME FANTASTIC
MURALS.
MURALS.
MURALS. IT REALLY IS A GREAT STORY.
IT'S COMING YOUR WAY HERE THIS
MORNING IN ABOUT TWENTY FIVE >>
MINUTES.
MINUTES.
MINUTES. GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR WAKING UP WITH
US.
US.
US. GUESS
US. GUESS WHAT?
GUESS WHAT? IT'S FRIDAY.
IT'S FRIDAY. YES, I UNDERSTAND.
YES, I REALIZE.
AND >> BOY, WE GOT A BREAK FROM
YESTERDAY BUT THE RAIN IS HEAVY
THIS MORNING.
THIS MORNING. LET'S CHECK IN WITH >> ROB.
YES, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS
THAT'S A RAINY START BUT A DRY
FINISH.
FINISH.
FINISH. HERE WE GO.
FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH OUR
AREA >> RIGHT NOW.
WE'LL TAKE YOU IN CLOSE TO
WHERE YOU SEE THOSE BRIGHT
COLORS.
COLORS.
COLORS. SO THIS IS THAT HEAVY RAIN AREA
THAT NINA WAS MENTIONING THAT
IS NOW EXITING DOWNTOWN
PORTLAND.
PORTLAND.
PORTLAND. THERE ARE LIGHTER AREAS OF RAIN
BEHIND IT BACK TO HILLSBORO AND
EXTENDING ALL THE WAY TO THE
COAST.
COAST.
COAST. BUT RIGHT NOW TROUTDALE, GOOD
MORNING.
MORNING.
MORNING. YOU'RE LIKELY HEARING THAT RAIN
COME DOWN.
COME DOWN. SO HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE.
WE'RE AT FORTY FIVE DEGREES BY
MIDMORNING STEADY RAIN IS GONE
AND WE BREAK INTO SCATTERED
SHOWERS FORTY SEVEN TO NOON AND
SHORTLY AFTER NOON I THINK THE
RAIN CHANCE BASICALLY GOES BYE
BYE AND WE GET SOME AFTERNOON
SUN BACK TO YOU.
>> THANK ROD >> TOPPING YOUR
NEWS AT 5:00 O'CLOCK.
WE'VE LEARNED OVERNIGHT THAT A
FIFTH PERSON FROM WEDNESDAY'S
RIOT AT THE US CAPITOL HAS DIED
THIS TIME AND OFFICER CAPITOL
POLICE SAY HE WENT BACK TO HIS
OFFICE AND COLLAPSED AFTER
PHYSICALLY ENGAGING WITH THE
PROTESTERS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS RELEASED A VIDEO MESSAGE
WITH A MUCH DIFFERENT TONE THIS
TIME HE'S ACKNOWLEDGING FOR THE
FIRST TIME THAT HE WILL NOT
SERVE A SECOND TERM IN OFFICE
AND >> NEW ADMINISTRATION WILL
BE INAUGURATED ON JANUARY 20TH.
MY FOCUS NOW TURNS TO ENSURING
A SMOOTH, ORDERLY AND SEAMLESS
TRANSITION OF POWER >>.
SEVERAL TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIALS HAVE RESIGNED SINCE
WEDNESDAY, INCLUDING EDUCATION
SECRETARY BETSEY DAVOS >>.
THE CAPITOL POLICE CHIEF ALSO
RESIGNED UNDER FIRE FOR NOT
PREVENTING THE MASSIVE SECURITY
BREACH WHILE SOME LAWMAKERS ARE
CALLING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TO
BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE EITHER
THROUGH IMPEACHMENT OR BY
INVOKING THE 25TH AMENDMENT.
SO THAT LEADS TO THIS QUESTION,
BRENDA.
BRENDA.
BRENDA. IF A PRESIDENT IS REMOVED FROM
OFFICE THROUGH EITHER OF THOSE
TWO PROCESS AS YOU JUST
MENTIONED, ARE THEY
DISQUALIFIED FROM EVER RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN?
OUR VERIFYS TEAM LOOKED INTO IT
>> WITH THE DRAMATIC STORMING
OF THE CAPITOL BY RIOTERS.
WE'RE HEARING FROM PEOPLE AT
HOME AS WELL AS CELEBRITIES AND
LAWMAKERS LIKE SENATE MAJORITY
LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER WHO ARE
CALLING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TO
BE IMPEACHED AND CONVICTED OR
REMOVED THE 25TH AMENDMENT >>.
SO LET'S VERIFIED THIS
IMPORTANT QUESTION IF A
PRESIDENT IS REMOVED EITHER BY
THE 25TH AMENDMENT OR BY
IMPEACHMENT, DOES THAT
DISQUALIFY THEM FROM RUNNING
AGAIN?
AGAIN?
AGAIN? HERE ARE SOURCES.
ARTICLE ONE OF THE U.S.
CONSTITUTION, THE 25TH
AMENDMENT.
AMENDMENT. POLITICAL PROFESSOR GARY
NORDLINGER FROM THE GEORGE
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY AND
ROBERT PECK FROM THE CENTER FOR
CONSTITUTIONAL LITIGATION.
CONSTITUTIONAL LITIGATION. LET'S START WITH THE 25TH
AMENDMENT.
AMENDMENT. PAECH SAYS THIS IS PRETTY CLEAR
THERE'S >> NO BAR ON RUNNING
AGAIN IF YOU ARE REMOVED WHICH
IS CONSIDERED A TEMPORARY
REMOVAL FROM OFFICE >>,
SOMETHING BACKED UP BY OUR
POLITICS EXPERT NORDLINGER
TELLING US QUOTE IT DOESN'T
AFFECT YOUR FUTURE
QUALIFICATIONS JUST MEANS
YOU'RE NOT FIT RIGHT NOW SO WE
CAN VERIFY THAT FALSE BEING
REMOVED UNDER THE 25TH
AMENDMENT DOES NOT DISQUALIFY
YOU FROM HOLDING FUTURE OFFICE.
OK, WHAT ABOUT IF A PRESIDENT
IS IMPEACHED AND THEN
CONVICTED, CAN THEY RUN AGAIN?
IT'S NOT >> AUTOMATIC THAT THEY
CAN'T RUN AGAIN.
>> EXPLAINS THAT ARTICLE ONE
SECTION THREE OF THE
CONSTITUTION READS IN PART
QUOTE JUDGMENT IN CASES
OF IMPEACHMENT SHALL NOT EXTEND
FURTHER THAN TO REMOVAL FROM
OFFICE AND DISQUALIFICATION TO
HOLD AND ENJOY ANY OFFICE
OF HONOR, TRUST OR PROFIT UNDER
THE UNITED STATES SAYS THAT
MEANS LAWMAKERS COULD INCLUDE
DISQUALIFICATION FROM FUTURE
OFFICE BUT IT'S NOT REQUIRED IF
>> THAT'S ADDED TO THE TERMS
OF THE IMPEACHMENT AND
CONVICTION THEN HE IS
INELIGIBLE >>.
INELIGIBLE >>. SO WE COULD VERIFY THAT NO
BEING IMPEACHED AND CONVICTED
DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY
DISQUALIFY YOU FROM BEING ABLE
TO RUN AGAIN.
THE CONGRESS COULD PUT IN
LANGUAGE TO DO SO PRETTY HERE
AT THE CAPITOL.
THIS IS EVAN KOSLOF WITH YOUR
VERIFYS >>.
VERIFYS >>. INTERESTING >>.
INTERESTING >>. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET TO THREE THINGS TO
KNOW ABOUT COVID THIS MORNING.
NUMBER ONE, THE COUNTRY ONCE
AGAIN TOPPED ITS DAILY RECORD
FOR CASEY'S AND DEATHS OF 40
100 DEATHS WERE REPORTED JUST
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY. TWO HUNDRED SIXTY EIGHT
THOUSAND NEW PEOPLE TESTED
POSITIVE AND THIS ENTIRE WEEK
OVER ONE POINT SIX MILLION NEW
CASES WERE DIAGNOSED IN OREGON.
THE STATE REPORTED 10 MORE
DEATHS AND EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY
SEVEN NEW CASES.
THE HEALTH AUTHORITIES SAY IN
YESTERDAY'S CASE COUNT IS A BIT
LOWER THAN EXPECTED BECAUSE
OF TECHNICAL ISSUES.
NUMBER TWO, IT SEEMS >> WE'RE
DOING WELL PREVENTING THE FLU
FROM SPREADING VERY MUCH SO FAR
THIS SEASON.
THIS SEASON. THE OREGONIAN LOOKED AT STATE
DATA THAT SHOWS IN THE 20 19
FLU SEASON THAT SEPTEMBER
THROUGH DECEMBER OREGN SAW FIVE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED CASES THE
SAME TIME PERIOD THIS PAST YEAR
AND TWENTY TWENTY LITERALLY
JUST FORTY SEVEN PEOPLE GOT IT
THE OREGON HEALTH AUTHORITIES
SAYS SOCIAL DISTANCING AND
MAPPS ARE WORKING SAYS MORE
PEOPLE ALSO GOT THEIR FLU SHOT
THIS YEAR.
THIS YEAR. AND NUMBER THREE, THE FBI HAS
BUSTED TWO OREGON GUYS FOR
STEALING MONEY FROM COVID
RELIEF PROGRAM SO THEY STOLE
TWO POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS
IN SMALL BUSINESS LOANS.
THE FBI WAS TIPPED OFF BY
SAYING THEY HAD ENTERED SIMILAR
INFORMATION ON ALL THREE LOAN
APPLICATION ADDRESSES AND THE
NAMES OF THEIR SUPPOSED
EMPLOYEES.
EMPLOYEES. THESE GUYS WERE SMART TOO.
THEY ACTUALLY INVESTED THAT TWO
MILLION BUCKS INTO THE MARKETS
AND GREW IT TO TEN MILLION BY
THE TIME THE FEDS FIGURED IT
OUT, THEY'RE NOW FACING CHARGES
OF FRAUD AND THOSE ARE THREE
THINGS TO KNOW >>.
NOW TO THE VERY LATEST ON COVID
VACCINATIONS.
VACCINATIONS. OREGON'S PLAN IS TO VACCINATE
HEALTH CARE WORKERS FIRST
SPECIFICALLY THOSE WHO COME IN
CONTACT WITH PATIENTS AND ARE
MOST AT RISK OF GETTING
INFECTED.
INFECTED.
INFECTED. MANY OF YOU WONDERED WHY
HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS AND
PEOPLE IN THE MARKETING
DEPARTMENT, THOSE WHO ARE NOT
AROUND ANY PATIENTS.
WE'RE ALSO GETTING THE SHOTS.
WELL, THE OREGON HEALTH
AUTHORITY TOLD OUR CHRISTIAN
SEVERANCE THEY SHOULDN'T BE >>
.
.
. AS
. AS SOON
. AS SOON AS THE VACCINES STARTED
IN OREGON, SO DID THE SOCIAL
MEDIA POSTS PEOPLE EXCITED TO
BE GETTING VACCINATED, POSTING
PICTURES OF THEMSELVES.
THEN CAME THE EMAILS FROM
PEOPLE ASKING WHY IN OHSU
MARKETING EMPLOYEE WAS GETTING
THE VACCINE OR AN ADMINISTRATOR
USCP PROVIDENCE VIEWERS WROTE
US ASKING I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE WHO ARE
WORKING FROM HOME HAVE ACCESS
TO THE VACCINE BEFORE THE TRUE
FRONTLINE WORKERS.
FRONTLINE WORKERS. PATRICK ALLEN SAID THAT SHOULD
NOT BE HAPPENING, >> THAT WE
SHOULDN'T BE MOVING ON TO
PEOPLE WHO DON'T WHO DON'T HAVE
PARTIENTS EXPOSURE >>.
FEDERAL GUIDELINES ADOPTED BY
THE STATE OF OREGON PUT PEOPLE
WITH DIRECT CONTACT WITH
PATIENTS AT THE FRONT OF THE
LINE.
LINE.
LINE. BUT
LINE. BUT HEALTH SYSTEMS WERE LEFT TO
INTERPRET THE RULES IN THEIR
OWN WAY AND HOSPITAL SYSTEMS
WERE NOT HIDING THESE
VACCINATIONS IN ANY WAY.
IT WAS ALL PART OF OHSU PLAN TO
VACCINATE ALL EMPLOYEES IN SIX
WAYS THE EMPLOYEES IN WAVES ONE
TO FIVE HAD CONTACT WITH
PATIENTS.
PATIENTS.
PATIENTS. THE EMPLOYEES IN WAVE SIX DID
NOT.
NOT.
NOT. OHSU
NOT. OHSU STARTED VACCINATING WAVE
SIX ON JANUARY FOUR.
PROVIDENCE SAID THEY WERE
FOLLOWING GUIDELINE FROM
DECEMBER 18TH POINTING TO A
HIGHLIGHTED SECTION STATING
HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL INCLUDE
BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO MS
NURSING ASSISTANTS, CLERICAL
ADMINISTRATIVE BILLING AND
VOLUNTEER PERSONNEL.
VOLUNTEER PERSONNEL. LEGACY SAID THEY ARE ONLY
VACCIN PATIENT FACING STAFF NOT
STAFF WITHOUT PATIENT CONTACT.
KAISER SAID THEY ARE FOCUSED ON
FRONT LINE HEALTH CARE WORKERS
OR FIRST RESPONDERS.
AND AS FOR THE VA, PORTLAND
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM DIRECTOR >>
BARWELL GOODSPEED SAID THEY ARE
VACCINATING ALL EMPLOYEES AND
WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT PLAN >>
WAS THE OR IS THE VA GIVING THE
COVID VACCINE TO EMPLOYEES WHO
ARE NOT COMING IN CONTACT WITH
PATIENTS?
PATIENTS?
PATIENTS? YES WE ARE THE COVID VACCINE IS
USELESS UNLESS IT'S IN
SOMEONE'S ARM SO THE VACCINE
SITTING IN A FREEZER DOESN'T
HELP ANYONE.
HELP ANYONE. MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES AREN'T
DIRECT PATIENT FACING BUT THEY
COME INTO THE HOSPITAL EVERY
SINGLE DAY.
SINGLE DAY. THE VA >> WORKS CLOSELY WITH
THE BUT TAKES THEIR CUE FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE
SURGEON GENERAL DR. JEROME
ADAMS TOLD NBC >> HE FEELS
STATES ARE ACTUALLY TOO
BEHOLDEN TO THE GUIDELINES AND
STATES SHOULD BE VACCINATING AS
MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
FURTHER PROOF THIS ENTIRE
VACCINATION PROCESS GETS MORE
MUDDLED AND CONFUSING BY THE
DAY.
DAY.
DAY. KRISTEN SEVERANCE KGW NEWS >>
WE KNOW THE GROUP THAT'S NEXT
IN LINE TO GET VACCINATED IN
OREGON DOES INCLUDE TEACHERS.
SO A NEW STATE COMMISSION ON
VACCINE DISTRIBUTION MET FOR
THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY AND
THAT COMMISSION CONFIRMED
EDUCATORS AND OTHER ESSENTIAL
WORKERS WILL GET VACCINE
PRIROTY NEXT BASED ON GUIDANCE
FROM THE CDC >>.
WE NEED TO KEEP >> SOCIETY
MOVING AND ALSO JUST BE REALLY
MINDFUL OF WHERE THE VACCINE IS
GOING, WHERE THE VACCINE IS
GOING TO HAVE THE BIGGEST
IMPACT BECAUSE OF WHERE ILLNESS
AND DEATH FROM COVID-19 IS
HITTING PEOPLE HARDEST >>.
THE PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOL
DISTRICT HAS ALREADY SAID THAT
GETTING KIDS BACK IN PORTLAND
CLASSROOMS IS CONTINGENT ON
GETTING STAFF VACCINATED.
WELL, WE DON'T KNOW AT THIS
POINT IS WHEN EXACTLY THAT WILL
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. OF COURSE THIS TOPIC OF KIDS
TURN IN THE CLASSROOM, IT HAS
BECOME A REALLY POLARIZING
TOPIC.
TOPIC.
TOPIC. LOTS OF PASSIONATE ARGUMENTS ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. SO
NOW. SO TODAY AT NOON WE'RE GIVING
YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN,
ASK QUESTIONS.
ASK QUESTIONS. THIS IS A LIVE DISCUSSION WE'RE
PUTTING TOGETHER WITH EXPERTS
FROM THE SCHOOLS OF PUBLIC
HEALTH AT BOTH PORTLAND STATE
AND OHSU.
AND OHSU.
AND OHSU. IT'S A SPECIAL QUESTION AND
ANSWER SESSION THAT WE'RE
CALLING REOPENING SCHOOLS.
SO AGAIN, YOU CAN FIND IT TODAY
NOON ON BOTH >> THE KGW,
FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE PAGES.
OK, IF YOU PLAN TO GO TO THE
COAST THIS WEEKEND, KEEP AN EYE
ON THE OCEAN.
ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA BUT
ESPECIALLY NOW THERE'S A
WARNING ABOUT SNEAKER WAVES AND
IT'S IN EFFECT THROUGH TOMORROW
MORNING.
MORNING.
MORNING. IT STRETCHES FROM THE CENTRAL
OREGON COAST UP TO THE SOUTH
WASHINGTON COAST.
WASHINGTON COAST. SNEAKER WAVES CAN SWEEP YOU OUT
TO SEA OR TOSS LARGE DANGEROUS
DEBRIS LIKE LOGS USCP ON TO THE
SHORE.
SHORE.
SHORE. SO
SHORE. SO >> BE SURE TO STAY AWAY FROM
THOSE JETTIES IF YOU VISIT AND
JUST BE SAFE >>.
ROD, WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT THE FORECAST?
WELL, GENERALLY SPEAKING, ONCE
WE GET THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS WE'RE PRETTY QUIET
WEATHER WISE IN TERMS OF WHAT'S
IN THE SKY AND >> COMING DOWN.
LET'S GET YOU GOING.
WE DO HAVE A WEATHER SYSTEM OUT
TO SEA THAT WILL BRING SOME
SHOWERS TOMORROW OVERNIGHT AND
SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS SUNDAY.
BUT MOST OF THE SYSTEM KIND
OF DODGES.
OF DODGES. HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT'S
GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE A COLD FRONT THAT'S
MOVING ACROSS THE WILLAMETTE
VALLEY THE HEAVIEST RAIN WE'LL
TAKE YOU IN A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
HAS CLEARED TWO OF FIVE MOVING
OFF TO THE EAST.
THERE IS A LIGHTNING STRIKE
OFFSHORE FROM NEWPORT.
WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT.
WE DON'T THINK THAT REALLY
TURNS INTO ANYTHING.
AND THE RAIN BACK TO THE WEST
OF PORTLAND THIS MORNING IS
STILL PRETTY STEADY BUT
PRIMARILY LIGHT.
PRIMARILY LIGHT. SO HERE'S WHAT'S GOING ON.
WE HAVE THE EARLY MORNING RAIN.
IT WILL BREAK INTO SHOWERS AND
THEN BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS
AFTERNOON IS MAINLY DRY.
HERE ARE YOUR GETTING UP AND
GETTING GOING.
GETTING GOING. TEMPERATURES WE'RE IN THE 40S.
FORTY FIVE IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND
.
.
. FORTY
. FORTY FOUR IN BEAVERTON,
HILLSBORO AND FOREST GROVE ALSO
FORTY FOUR IN SALEM.
GUYS ARE IN DALLAS.
THAT'S A REALLY POPULAR TEMP
THIS MORNING.
THIS MORNING. HERE'S LIKE A FEATURE CAST BY
EIGHT THURDAY TAKES A STEADY
RAIN AND IT'S GONE UP TO OUR
EAST OUT TO BE SCATTERED
SHOWERS FOLLOWING THIS MORNING
I THINK ALL THIS DOESN'T SHOW
ANYTHING BEHIND THE FRONT.
SO THIS AFTERNOON CONFIDENCE IS
PRETTY GOOD THAT WE WILL BE DRY
AND WE WILL BE GETTING SOME
SUNSHINE.
SUNSHINE.
SUNSHINE. FORTY NINE TODAY.
FORTY SEVEN TOMORROW.
A MIX OF SOME SUN BUT A LOT
OF CLOUDS COMING IN AND
SCATTERED SHOWERS ON SUNDAY
STILL LOOK TO BE TOO MUCH.
SO I THINK YOU SHOULD FEEL
PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THE WEEKEND
HOPEFULLY TWENTY TWENTY ONE IN
GENERAL.
GENERAL.
GENERAL. WELL KNWING CONVENTION CENTER
ISN'T ABLE TO HOST ANY EVENTS
AT THE MOMENT.
IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S LAID
DORMANT.
DORMANT.
DORMANT. NEXT HOW WORKERS ARE
