THE SURGEON GENERAL NOW WITH THE VERY BLUNT WARNING ABOUT THAT COMBINATION. WHAT HE SAYS MANY
FAMILIES SHOULD BE THINKING
ABOUT. LET’S CHECK IN WITH KIM
ADAMS. KIM. HAZY SUNSHINE OUT
THERE RIGHT NOW WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S TO
RIGHT AROUND 80 DEGREES.
>> BUT THAT HAZE IS GOING TO
MAKE FOR A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET
TONIGHT. WHO’S READY TO GO SEE
TAYLOR SWIFT?
>> WE GAVE AWAY ONE SET OF
TICKETS THIS MORNING. WE’RE
ABOUT TO HEAD OUT AND REWARD
ANOTHER TWO WINNERS. WHO WANTS
TO GO SEE TAYLOR SWIFT FOR FREE
? SHE LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN
DETROIT.
>> LOCAL 4 NEWS. FIRST AT FOUR
STARTS NOW.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M DEVIN
SCILLIAN IN FOR KAREN DREW.
DETROIT POLICE HAVE A DEADLY
MYSTERY ON THEIR HANDS AFTER A
DOUBLE SHOOTING LEAVES A 16 YEAR
OLD DEAD. HAPPENED LATE LAST
NIGHT ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE. ON
GRIGGS NEAR WYOMING AND EIGHT
MILE. SO A FAMILY NOW GRIEVING
AND VERY MUCH IN NEED OF ANSWERS
. POLICE WERE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HOURS OVERNIGHT
AFTER THE REPORT OF TWO PEOPLE
SHOT. THEY FOUND AN ADULT MAN IN
HIS LATE 20S. HE WAS RUSHED TO
THE HOSPITAL AND IS RIGHT NOW IN
STABLE CONDITION. FAMILY MEMBERS
HAVE IDENTIFIED THE TEENAGER NOW
WHO WAS KILLED AS SIR SPILLER.
HIS GRANDMOTHER CAME TO THE
SCENE WITH A MESSAGE FOR ALL
YOUNG PEOPLE. I WANT TO SAY TO
ALL YOU YOUNG, YOUNG PEOPLE,
THESE STREETS DON’T LOVE YOU.
>> BE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND BE AT
HOME.
>> THESE STREETS DON’T LOVE YOU.
THE TEEN’S FAMILY SAYS THEY
DON’T KNOW WHY HE WAS OUT LATE
AT NIGHT. SO FAR, POLICE HAVE
NOT SHARED ANY LEADS NOR A
SUSPECT OR A MOTIVE IN THE CASE
. WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW IT.
SOME TRAFFIC MOVING AGAIN AFTER
THIS MESS WAS CLEANED UP ON US
23IN YORK TOWNSHIP AFTER A
WRONG-WAY CRASH. WE’VE SEEN A
SPATE OF THOSE LATELY. MICHIGAN
STATE POLICE SAY THE WRONG WAY
DRIVER HIT SEVERAL VEHICLES IN
MONROE COUNTY KEPT GOING NORTH
IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANES OF US
23. POLICE NOW TELL US THERE WAS
NEVER A CHASE, BUT EVENTUALLY
THE VEHICLE CRASHED NEAR WILLIS
ROAD. FOUR PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE
WRONG-WAY DRIVER, HAD TO BE
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. IT’S
EXPECTED ALL OF THEM ARE GOING
TO RECOVER. THE INVESTIGATION
UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW, JUST ONE
LANE OF SOUTHBOUND 23, THOUGH,
SO FAR HAS OPENED IN THAT AREA.
KEEP THAT IN MIND IF THAT’S
GOING TO BE A PART OF YOUR
COMMUTE. INVESTIGATORS ARE
LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE OF A FIRE
THAT THREATENED A STRIP MALL IN
SOUTHFIELD OVERNIGHT. FLAMES
ERUPTED AT A BEAUTY SUPPLY STORE
ON TEN MILE NEAR SOUTHFIELD ROAD
AT ONE POINT ENGULFING THE
BUSINESS. FIRE FIGHTERS FOUGHT
TO CONTAIN THE FLAMES JUST TO
THAT ONE STORE WHICH HAD
ACTUALLY BEEN CLOSED FOR SOME
TIME. BUT THE NEIGHBORING
BUSINESSES COULD HAVE SOME SMOKE
DAMAGE TO DEAL WITH. HOPEFULLY
NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. AND
LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT. IF
YOU’VE BEEN OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW,
IT FEELS PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW.
FOREWARN METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS
WITH A SNEAK PEEK OF THE EVENING
AHEAD. KIM? WELL, IT’S GOING TO
BE A VERY PLEASANT EVENING AND
THE SUN SETS TONIGHT JUST BEFORE
9:00.
>> AND YOU WILL WANT TO GRAB
SOMEONE YOU LOVE AND GO OUT AND
SEE IT BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO BE
BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT BECAUSE OF
THOSE WILDFIRES. BUT TOMORROW,
THAT SMOKE IS GOING TO BE
CLEARED AWAY. SO THE HAZE WON’T
BE THERE. SO THIS IS THE LAST
SUNSET. YOU HAVE TO GET OUT AND
ENJOY IT. 65 DEGREES BY MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT. NOW, TOMORROW, WE PEAK
A LITTLE EARLY. WE’LL BE AT 70
AT NOON, BUT THEN FALLING OFF IN
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
BREEZY AS WELL. YOUR TRAVEL
FORECAST FOR UP NORTH IS COMING
UP. ALL RIGHT, KIM.
>> THE US SURGEON GENERAL IS
SOUNDING A VERY BLUNT ALARM
ABOUT KIDS AND SOCIAL MEDIA
SAYING IT REPRESENTS AND THIS
WAS THE QUOTE FROM THE STUDY,
PROFOUND RISK OF HARM.
>> DR. VIVEK MURTHY SAYS WE’RE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A YOUTH MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS AND HE’S WORRIED
SOCIAL MEDIA IS JUST
CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM.
PAULA TUTMAN DIGS INTO HIS
WARNING AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR A
LOT OF FAMILIES. SURGEON GENERAL
DR. VIVEK MURTHY IS SLAPPING A
BIG OLD WARNING STICKER ON
SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> WE SEE RATES OF DEPRESSION
AND ANXIETY AND SUICIDE AND
LONELINESS GOING UP AMONG YOUNG
PEOPLE.
>> LAYING OUT THE CASE THAT WITH
BOTH THE SEEMING UNAPPEALABLE
FACETIME TIME YOUNG PEOPLE SPEND
PEERING INTO THEIR DEVICES, YOU
KIND OF HAVE TO RIDE THAT LINE
OF KNOWING WHAT’S TO MUCH FOR
THEM VERSUS WHAT’S JUST FUN AND
INNOCENT ENTERTAINMENT COUPLED
WITH WHAT IT IS THEY ARE SEEING
AND READING THAT UNCHECKED
SOCIAL MEDIA IS EXACTING A
MEASURABLE TOLL ON THE MENTAL
HEALTH OF CHILDREN. DR. TIFFANY
WEIDNER, A PEDIATRICIAN WITH
CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF MICHIGAN,
SEES IT FIRSTHAND AND DAILY.
>> I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY
TIMES I WALK INTO AN EXAM ROOM
AND A CHILD IS BREAKING OUT IN A
TIKTOK DANCE SCREEN.
>> TIME CAN AVERAGE AS HIGH AS
3.5 HOURS. A DAY.
>> IT’S TAKING AWAY FROM THEIR
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. IT’S TAKING
AWAY FROM THEIR ENGAGEMENT AND
CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR FAMILY
BASED ON THE RESEARCH.
>> WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE IMPACT
OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THEIR BODY
IMAGE 46% OF ADOLESCENTS AGED 13
TO 17 SAID SOCIAL MEDIA MAKES
THEM FEEL WORSE. ONLY 14% SAID
IT MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER.
SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT ALSO
PUTS A WORLD OF STRANGERS AT THE
FINGERTIPS OF CHILDREN.
>> THAT’S HOW IT IS. NOT
NECESSARILY ABLE TO FILTER OUT
WHAT THINGS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO
BE ENGAGED IN AND WHAT THINGS
THEY’RE NOT. THE OTHER ISSUE
WITH THAT IS IT OPENS UP FOR
PREDATORS ALSO IN THE FINDINGS,
64% OF ADOLESCENTS SAY THEY ARE
EITHER OFTEN OR SOMETIMES EXPOSE
TO HATE BASED CONTENT, WHICH,
ACCORDING TO DR. WEIDNER, CAN
EITHER FRIGHTEN THEM, BULLY THEM
OR INDOCTRINATE THEM. WE KNOW
THAT THAT INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE
ENGAGING IN SOCIAL MEDIA ARE A
LOT OF TIMES LOOKING FOR THE
LIKES. THEY’RE LOOKING FOR
ATTENTION AND A CHILD THAT IS
NOT GETTING THE ATTENTION THAT
THEY WANT MAY GO INTO A SPIRAL
AND THAT WILL AFFECT THEIR
MENTAL HEALTH. YEAH, AND IN
TERMS OF LONG TERM OUTCOMES,
STILL NOT KNOWN TOO EARLY TO
TELL, BUT THERE ARE THINGS
PARENTS CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO
MINIMIZE THAT EXPOSURE.
>> FIRST OF ALL, FIND OUT WHAT
THOSE PARENTAL CONTROLS ARE AND
ACTUALLY USE THEM. MAKE SURE YOU
LIMIT MAXIMUM SCREEN TIME AND
MAKE SURE YOU’RE TALKING TO YOUR
CHILDREN ABOUT NOT ONLY WHAT
THEY’RE DOING, BUT ALSO KNOW
WHAT THEY ARE SEEING. DEVIN SO
IMPORTANT SUCH AND THIS IS
HOPEFULLY THE BEGINNING WHERE I
THINK WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE.
>> PAULA, DON’T YOU HAVE REALLY
A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT
THIS? BUT THIS IS MAYBE THE FUEL
IT NEEDED. YEAH. YEAH IT’S STILL
EARLY IN THE GAME.
>> YEP, YEP, EXACTLY RIGHT.
>> ALL RIGHT, PAULA. AMERICA’S
DEBT CEILING CLIFFHANGER SHOWING
NO SIGNS OF ENDING EVEN AS WE
PUSH CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THAT
JUNE 1ST DEADLINE. PRESIDENT
BIDEN AND HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN
MCCARTHY CALLED A WHITE HOUSE
MEETING PRODUCTIVE. BUT DOES
THAT LEAD TO A DEAL? KIMBERLY
GILL HERE TO WALK US THROUGH
WHERE THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW.
GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER, K.G.
>> YES, WE ARE. HI, DEVIN. GOOD
AFTERNOON TO YOU. TODAY, THE
HOUSE SPEAKER IS TELLING FELLOW
REPUBLICANS THEY ARE NOWHERE
NEAR A DEAL WITH DEMOCRATS, BUT
HE’S HOPING THEY CAN MAKE
PROGRESS. IT’S DEFINITELY A
REALLY COMPLICATED SITUATION.
REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO
NEGOTIATE BUDGET CUTS BEFORE
THEY AGREE TO RAISE THE DEBT
CEILING, WHICH ALLOWS THE
GOVERNMENT TO BORROW MONEY TO
PAY ITS BILLS. IN THE PAST,
CONGRESS HAS RAISED THE DEBT
CEILING AND NEGOTIATED THE
BUDGET SEPARATELY. DEMOCRATS
HAVE OFFERED TO FREEZE SPENDING
BUT ARE REFUSING TO CUT AS MUCH
AS REPUBLICANS WOULD LIKE. WHILE
THE DEADLINE IS JUNE 1ST, THE
HOUSE SPEAKER HAS ALSO SAID HE
WILL NOT WAIVE THE THREE DAY
RULE IN THE HOUSE. SO THAT MEANS
THE HOUSE NEEDS A BILL THREE
DAYS BEFORE THAT DEADLINE FOR
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO REVIEW IT
. LISTEN TO THESE COMMENTS AND
SEE WHAT YOU THINK. IF A DEAL IS
GETTING CLOSER OR NOT.
>> THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT
DIVIDE US AND WE KNOW THAT IT
IS. YOU CANNOT SPEND MORE MONEY
NEXT YEAR THAN WE SPENT THIS
YEAR. CLEAR AS DAY.
>> WE ARE HAPPY TO ENGAGE WITH
THEM AND TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT
MEASURES THAT WILL PREVENT US
FROM A CATASTROPHIC DEFAULT THAT
WOULD HURT THE ECONOMY AND IS
REPUBLICAN LED.
>> AND DEVIN WILL, OF COURSE,
KEEPING AN EYE ON THINGS IN
WASHINGTON. AND IF ANYTHING
CHANGES, WE’LL HAVE AN UPDATE
WHEN YOU JOIN US FOR LOCAL 4
NEWS AT FIVE.
>> THE TIMING IS CRITICAL HERE
BECAUSE WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT
THEM REACHING A DEAL, BUT THAT’S
JUST THE BEGINNING POINT, RIGHT?
THERE’S A LOT TO DO THERE.
>> EXACTLY RIGHT. THE PRESIDENT
AND HOUSE SPEAKER BOTH HAVE TO
SELL ANY COMPROMISE TIES TO
THEIR OWN PARTIES. THAT TAKES A
LITTLE TIME. AND WITH CONGRESS
SO CLOSELY DIVIDED, THERE’S
REALLY LITTLE ROOM FOR ERROR. SO
WE’LL BE WATCHING IT.
>> ALL RIGHT. WE’LL SEE YOU AT
FIVE, KEN. ONE. THOUSANDS OF
FOLKS ENTERED THE SWIFTY INSIDER
TICKET SWEEPSTAKES, BUT WE CAN
ONLY HAVE THREE WINNERS.
UNFORTUNATELY AND ONE IS ALREADY
BEEN SURPRISED. TODAY WE HAVE
TWO MORE PAIRS OF TICKETS TO
GIVE AWAY COMING UP AT 5:00 AND
SIX, JASON COLTHORPE IS GASSED
UP THE CAR ABOUT TO HEAD TO
ANOTHER LUCKY WINNERS HOUSE. AND
JASON, YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE ONE
HOUSEHOLDS DAY IN A BIG, BIG
WAY. THAT WAS GREAT. IT WAS. IT
WAS QUITE FUNNY.
>> A LITTLE MORE BACKSTORY ON
THAT IN A MOMENT. BY THE WAY, WE
HAD ABOUT MORE THAN 25,000
ENTRIES IN THIS. SO THE THREE
WINNERS ARE PRETTY LUCKY. THIS
IS AN EXACTLY WHAT THE TICKETS
GOING TO LOOK LIKE TO THE ACTUAL
SHOW. BUT THIS IS WHAT WE’RE
GOING TO GIVE OUR TWO REMAIN
WINNERS THIS AFTERNOON. AT ABOUT
AN HOUR. WE’RE GOING TO AWARD
THE FIRST ONE AND THEN AN HOUR
AFTER THAT AT SIX, WE’RE GOING
TO GET OUR LAST ONE. BUT THIS
MORNING, IT WAS A LITTLE TENSE.
TOOK A MINUTE FOR THESE FOLKS TO
COME TO THE DOOR. WE WENT ALL
THE WAY OUT TO SOUTH LYON.
HERE’S HOW IT ENDED. HEY, YOU
WON. TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS. GOOD
MORNING, GENTLEMEN. WHERE’S
DAWN? ARE YOU DAWN?
>> NO. HERE. THEY’RE AWAKE. IT’S
AMAZING. CONGRATS RELATIONS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> WE WERE. WE WERE WAITING FOR
YOU THIS MORNING. BUT MY
DAUGHTER HAD TO GO TO SCHOOL.
SHE WILL BE SO THRILLED.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU WERE
HOPING TO MAKE THIS A NO SCHOOL
DAY, BUT YEAH, WELL, SHE’LL BE
VERY EXCITED WHEN SHE GETS HOME
AND VERY EXCITED FOR TAYLOR.
>> WELL, WE’RE WAITING FOR THAT
REACTION. BUT THAT WAS DAWN. SHE
WILL BE GOING TO THE CONCERT
WITH HER DAUGHTER, MARCY. VERY
EXCITED AT THE LITTLE BACK STORY
THERE, DEVIN ALL MORNING LONG ON
THE DRIVE OUT THERE. WE’RE
PLAYING COY. WHERE ARE WE? ARE
WE ON 75? ARE WE ON 94? YOU
NEVER KNOW WHERE WE’RE GOING TO
BE. WELL, THEY THEY WERE
WATCHING. THEY THOUGHT WE WERE
GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO THEY
WENT BACK TO BED, WHICH IS WHY
IT TOOK SO LONG FOR THEM TO
ACTUALLY COME TO THE DOOR. SO IT
WAS I SAID, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE
WON’T PLAY SO COY THIS
AFTERNOON, BUT I WILL SAY THIS,
FOLKS ON THE EAST SIDE, GET
READY. MAYBE DOWNRIVER, GET
READY. WHO KNOWS? MAYBE WE’RE
GOING BACK OUT TO THE WEST SIDE
AGAIN. I DON’T KNOW. BUT WE’RE
HITTING THE ROAD RIGHT NOW. AND
WE’LL SEE YOU IN A FEW MINUTES
AND TELL YOU WHERE WE’RE AT.
>> THAT’S TOO GOOD. YOU WERE TOO
YOU WERE A LITTLE TOO GOOD AT
THROWING THEM OFF THE SCENT. YOU
KNOW, DREW CAREY ALWAYS TALKS
ABOUT THE REASON THAT HE LOVES
HOSTING A GAME SHOW IS HOW MUCH
JOY HE GETS IN GIVING THINGS
AWAY. THAT YOU GOT A TASTE OF
THAT TODAY, RIGHT? THAT’S PRETTY
FUN.
>> IT’S FUNNY YOU BROUGHT THAT
UP. THAT WAS ALWAYS I ALWAYS
KNEW I WAS DESTINED TO HOST THE
PRICE IS RIGHT. IT JUST NEVER
HAPPENED. BUT TO SEE THE LOOK ON
HER FACE, I JUST. I WISHED HER
DAUGHTER HAD BEEN HOME. AND JUST
TO CATCH A DAD OPENING THE DOOR.
AND I THOUGHT, OH, HE’S NOT
READY FOR THIS. BUT THEN COMING
AROUND THE CORNER. YEAH. AND I’M
VERY EXCITED FOR THESE NEXT TWO.
I’M ALMOST AS NERVOUS AS THEY
PROBABLY ARE WAITING FOR US.
>> THIS IS SO GREAT. ALL RIGHT.
WE’VE GOT OBVIOUSLY A PRETTY
EXCITING AFTERNOON AND EVENING
COMING UP.
>> ALL RIGHT, JASON, WE’LL LET
YOU GET TO IT. STILL AHEAD HERE
AT FOUR KIDS AND MONEY, WE’RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER
SIGN, CASH AND COINS MAY BE ON
THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST.
ALSO NEW FOCUS ON FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND WHAT HE SAYS
ABOUT HIS LEGAL TROUBLES IN
PUBLIC AND WHY HE’S FACING A NEW
$10 MILLION LAWSUIT. BACK WITH
MORE IN A MINUTE. THE VOLUNTEER
