SHE'S BEEN ON CAPITOL HILL THIS
WEEK MEETING WITH REPUBLICAN
SENATORS AND WILL CONTINUE
DOING THAT NEXT WEEK AS WELL.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS SHE IS
FOLLOWING ALL CDC GUIDELINES
INCLUDING WEARING A MASK.
MEANWHILE, HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY
PELOSI SAID SHE TOOK A CAUVIN
TEST THIS MORNING BUT THE
RESULTS THEY'RE NOT BACK YET.
SHE ALSO SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
BEHAVIOR INCLUDING HOLDING
LARGE RALLIES WHERE MANY
SUPPORTERS WERE NOT WEARING
MASKS WAS A QUOTE BRAZEN
INVITATION TO THE VIRUS.
>> THIS IS TRAGIC.
IT'S VERY SAD BUT IT ALSO IS
SOMETHING THAT AGAIN GOING INTO
CROWDS UNMASK AND ALL THE REST
WAS SORT OF A BRAZEN INVITATION
FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO

NEXT DEBATE TO HOW THE CAMPAIGN
PROCEEDS IF THE PRESIDENT'S
HEALTH.
HEALTH.
HEALTH. >> FORCES HIM TO QUIT?
HERE'S MATT GREGORY FROM OUR
VERIFY TEAM.
VERIFY TEAM. >> OUR FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT
HAPPENS IF KOVEN 19 FORCES THE
PRESIDENT TO DROP OUT OF THE
2020 ELECTION?
2020 ELECTION? >> OUR SOURCES FOR THIS ARE AN
ELECTIONS EXPERT, JOHN FORTIER
WITH THE BIPARTISAN POLICY
CENTER AND THE REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL COMMITTEE'S RULES.
AFTER SPEAKING WITH 40 AND
GOING OVER THE RNC RULES, WE
CAN VERIFY AT THIS POINT IF THE
PRESIDENT WERE TO DROP OUT
OF THE RACE, THE RNC WOULD
DECIDE WHO THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE IS.
NOMINEE IS. ALSO DON'T FORGET THIS ISN'T
THE FIRST TIME A WORLD LEADER
HAS CONTRACTED THE CORONA VIRUS
JAIRBOLSONARO THE BRAZILIAN
PRESIDENT AND BORIS JOHNSON,
PRIME MINISTER UNITED KINGDOM
BOTH CONTRACTED CAUVIN 19 AND
EVENTUALLY RECOVERED.
EVENTUALLY RECOVERED. NEXT QUESTION IF PRESIDENT
TRUMP GETS TOO SICK, WOULD MIKE
PENCE TAKE OVER OUR SOURCES FOR
THIS ARE THE 25TH AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION AND THE GEORGE
W. BUSH PRESIDENTIAL ARCHIVES
RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
YES, VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE
WOULD TAKE OVER TEMPORARILY IF
THE PRESIDENT GOT TOO SICK.
THIS GOES BACK TO THE 25TH
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
WHICH BASICALLY SAYS THAT IF
THE PRESIDENT FEELS THEY CAN'T
DISCHARGE THEIR DUTIES AS
PRESIDENT TEMPORARILY, THEY CAN
TURN THEM OVER TO THE VICE
PRESIDENT AND WHEN THEY FEEL
THEY ARE READY TO TAKE THEM
BACK OVER, THEY CAN RESUME
CONTROL OF THE PRESIDENCY.
THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS
DURING GEORGE W. BUSH
PRESIDENCY TWICE WHILE
PRESIDENT BUSH GOT A KOMAROVSKY
COULD BE VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY
TOOK PRESIDENTIAL POWERS OVER
UNTIL PRESIDENT BUSH CAME OUT
OF THE PROCEDURES.
FINAL QUESTION.
FINAL QUESTION. THE PRESIDENT HAS TO QUARANTINE
.
.
. SO
. SO WILL
. SO WILL HE MISS THE NEXT
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE?
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE? THE CDC RECOMMENDS 14 DAYS
OF QUARANTINE FROM COBA 19 AND
THE NEXT DEBATE IS SCHEDULED
FOR OCTOBER 15TH.
SO BASED ON THE TIMING THAT
WOULD PUT THE NEXT DEBATE AT 13
DAYS FROM RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO MARK THIS ONE
AS A QUESTION MARK AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT THE PRESIDENT
WILL TAKE PART IN THE NEXT
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> AND IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING
THAT YOU'D LIKE US TO VERIFY
JUST SEND US AN E-MAIL TO
VERIFY AT KGW DOT COM.
>> WELL, HERE'S A LOOK AT THE
LATEST CORONA VIRUS NUMBERS IN
OREGON.
OREGON.
OREGON. THE STATE REPORTED 363 NEW
CASES YESTERDAY.
CASES YESTERDAY. THAT GRAPH SHOWS THE UPWARD
TREND AFTER INFECTION WENT DOWN
IN AUGUST.
IN AUGUST. OREGON ALSO REPORTED ONE NEW
DEATH YESTERDAY BRINGING THE
TOTAL TO 560 IN WASHINGTON
RIGHT NOW THE NUMBER OF COVERED
CASES IS DROPPING.
THE MOST RECENT DATA AVAILABLE
SHOWS JUST OVER FOUR HUNDRED
INFECTIONS A DAY.
WELL, IT WAS A FOGGY START TO
YOUR FRIDAY.
YOUR FRIDAY. >> BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO END UP
THAT WAY.
THAT WAY.

WELLS FARGO SKYCAM AND ROB,

SUNSHINE TODAY.
SUNSHINE TODAY. >> NO, I HAVE TO BE I HAVE TO
TELL YOU I'M SURPRISED HOW
QUICKLY WE ARE BREAKING OUT
OF THIS.
OF THIS.
OF THIS. I THOUGHT THIS MORNING IT WAS A
50/50 CHANCE THAT WE WOULD
BREAK OUT AT BEST.
THERE ARE STILL SOME SPOTS THAT
HAVEN'T QUITE MADE IT.
THIS IS UP ON THE HILL AT
WILLAMETTE VALLEY VINEYARDS
JUST SOUTH SALEM AND OTHERS
SOME BLUE THERE.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE THAT PART
OF WINE COUNTRY'S ABOUT READY
TO BREAK OUT.
I DO WANT TO REMIND YOU OF THIS
HEADLINE A TEMPERATURE AIR
STAGNATION ADVISORY RATHER AN
AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT NOW THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURE INVERSION
CALM WINDS OFTEN CAN LEAD TO
FOG OR LOW CLOUDS NOT REALLY
BREAKING BUT WE HAVE SEEN THAT
TODAY.
TODAY.
TODAY. MAYBE WE'LL GET TREATED TO SOME
AFTERNOON SUN AGAIN TOMORROW.
YOU'RE ASKED TO LIMIT DOING
ANYTHING THAT WOULD PUT SOME
EXTRA POLLUTANTS INTO THE AIR,
LIMIT YOUR DRIVING SMALL
ENGINES LIKE LAWNMOWERS, THAT
TYPE OF THING.
FORECAST MODELS STILL SHOW THAT
THAT CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE SMOKE
THAT'S GIVEN US THE ORANGE
MOONS AND THE ORANGE SUNRISE
AND SUNSETS THAT THAT SMOKE
THERE'S GOING TO BE CLEARING
OUT OF OUR AREA TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW MORNING.
TOMORROW MORNING. SO THAT'S SOME MORE GOOD NEWS.
BOY, PRETTY SHOT HERE.
THE RESERVE BANK'S GOLF CLUB
OUT ON THE WEST SIDE AND LOW
JUST BREAKING OUT IN THE
SUNSHINE.
SUNSHINE.
SUNSHINE. SOME GOLF CARTS AROUND THE
GREEN AND PEOPLE HAVING A GOOD
TIME THIS MORNING 68 DEGREES IS
THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE THERE.
AND REAL QUICK, HERE'S THE ROSE
CITY CAMERA AND LIKE THE WELLS
FARGO, IT'S SHOWING THAT WE ARE
GETTING SOME SUNSHINE.
SIXTY FIVE DEGREES.
SO WE SHOULD MAKE IT UP INTO
THE MID 70S THIS AFTERNOON.
HEY, THE 70S STILL HAS SOME
RAIN ON IT.
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT
COMING UP SHORTLY.
>> SEE YOU THEN.
THANK YOU, ROB.
WELL, THERE WERE NO MAJOR
PROTESTS IN PORTALND LAST NIGHT
BUT THE PRESIDENT OF PORTLAND
POLICE UNION SAYS HE IS SO FED
UP WITH THE PROTESTS AND THE
POLITICIANS HERE HE'S TRYING TO
GET THREE NEW STATE LAWS ON THE
BOOKS.
BOOKS.
BOOKS. ONE PROPOSAL WOULD RESTRICT
WHEN AND WHERE PEOPLE CAN
PROTEST.
PROTEST.
PROTEST. THE GOAL IS TO GET THOSE
INITIATIVES ON THE TWENTY
TWENTY TWO BALLOT.
BUT FIRST THEY NEED TO GATHER
MORE THAN 100000 SIGNATURES FOR
EACH OF THEM.
THE FIRST MEASURE IS CALLED THE
PROTECT FREE SPEECH AND SAFE
STREETS ACT.
STREETS ACT. >> IT WOULD BAN LOUD GATHERINGS
AFTER 10:00 AT NIGHT IN
RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND AFTER
MIDNIGHT EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE
STATE.
STATE.
STATE. DARRELL TURNER, PRESIDENT
OF THE PORTLAND POLICE
ASSOCIATION, SAID THE
INITIATIVE WOULD BENEFIT BOTH
PROTESTERS AND POLICE BY
ESTABLISHING A QUOTE
TRANSPARENT AND RELIABLE SET
OF PROTOCOLS THAT WON'T BE
CHANGED DAY TO DAY.
ACCORDING TO THE WHIMS OF OUR
ELECTED OFFICIALS.
ELECTED OFFICIALS. NOW WE REACHED OUT TO A LEWIS
AND CLARK LAW PROFESSOR WHO
TOLD US PUTTING CURFEWS ON
GATHERINGS GOES AGAINST THE
FIRST AMENDMENT AND THEN YOU
GET INTO SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT.
>> YOU CAN'T TELL PEACEFUL
PROTESTERS THEY CAN'T BE OUT
AFTER MIDNIGHT BY PEOPLE
GATHERING IN FRONT OF BAR.
THEY CAN BE OUT JOKING IN FRONT
OF THE BAR AFTER MIDNIGHT.
>> THE OTHER TWO INITIATIVES
ARE AIMED AT POLITICIANS.
ONE REQUIRES THEM TO REPORT
UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR BY THEIR
PEERS.
PEERS.
PEERS. THE OTHER WOULD END QUALIFIED
IMMUNITY GIVING CITIZENS THE
RIGHT TO SUE
