FOR THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE ANY POWER, WAITING FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING TO COME BACK ON A
LIVE LOOK FROM OUR MOUNT CLEMENS
SKY CAM RIGHT NOW, AND THE HEAT
AND HUMIDITY NOW ARE GOING TO
MAKE A COMEBACK FOR THIS HOLIDAY
WEEKEND. LET’S GET OVER TO PAUL
GROSS FOR THE UPDATE. HI, PAUL
THERE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE
HEAT AND HUMIDITY ARE GOING TO
BE BACK STARTING TOMORROW. SO
WE’RE GONNA CUT IT CLOSE FOR
SOME OF YOU WHO DON’T HAVE POWER
BACK UNTIL TOMORROW. BUT FOR
MOST OF US THIS WORKED OUT
PRETTY GOOD WITH THE LAST TWO
DAYS BEING VERY, VERY
COMFORTABLE, BUT YOU CAN SEE LOW
EIGHTIES ACROSS THE AREA. THE
ONLY EXCEPTION IS NEAR THE BIG
LAKES AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT
COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
BUT RIGHT NOW, FROM A SATELLITE
PERSPECTIVE, IT IS SEVERE CLEAR.
YOU CAN SEE CLEAR SKIES ALL
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES HERE KNOW
WHETHER TO TALK ABOUT EXCEPT FOR
SUNSHINE. SO THIS EVENING WE’RE
GOING TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL
EVENING. IF YOU’RE GRILLING,
YOU’RE OUT JUST FOR THAT AFTER
DINNER, WALK WHATEVER YOU HAVE
PLANNED, JUST FALLING FROM THESE
LOW EIGHTIES THROUGH THE
SEVENTIES. DURING THE EVENING
HOURS, THE WINDOW WE LIGHT VERY,
VERY NICE EVENING. BUT NOW WE
HAVE TALKED ABOUT AGAIN THE
RETURN OF THAT HEAT AND HUMIDITY
AND TALK ABOUT OUR WEEKEND RAIN
CHANCES WILL DO JUST THAT COMING
UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. BUT
LET’S JUST SAY THIS RAIN CHANCES
HAVE DIMINISHED A BIT FROM WHAT
WE WERE LOOKING AT YESTERDAY,
BUT THERE’S STILL A CHANCE AGAIN
TIME THAT OUT FOR YOU COMING UP
IN JUST A BIT, GUYS. ALRIGHT,
PAUL. LET’S GET TO BREAKING
NEWS. NOW. THE BATTLE OVER
VOTING RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS IN MICHIGAN ARE AS WE
EXPECTED HEADED TO THE MICHIGAN
SUPREME COURT. WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT TWO SEPARATE BALLOT
PROPOSALS AFTER THE STATE BOARD
OF CANVASSERS DEADLOCKED ON THE
VOTE TO PUT THE ISSUES ON THE
BALLOT, AND ONE OF THEM WAS
FILED IN THE PAST 15 MINUTES.
ROD MELONI IS LIVE TONIGHT. ROD.
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN PRETTY
QUICKLY, RIGHT? YEAH IT HAPPENED
TO HAPPEN BY SEPTEMBER 9TH WHEN
THAT’S WHEN THEY HAVE TO HAVE
THE BALLOTS. OUTPUT TO THE
SITUATION WITH THE ABORTION
SITUATION. GOES LIKE THIS. THEY
HAVE A COURT FILING. THE STATE
BOARD OF CANVASSERS HAS ONE
ISSUE, THEY SAID IN THIS LEGAL
FILING THAT JUST CAME OUT JUST
MINUTES AGO. I’M STILL TRYING TO
READ ALL OF IT. BUT THEY’RE
SAYING THAT THE STATE BOARD OF
CANVASSERS CANADA DESCENT TRYING
FRANCHISE OVER 750,000
MICHIGANDERS BY AVOIDING THEIR
CLEAR LEGAL DUTY TO CERTIFY THE
PETITION PROPOSED BY
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM FOR ALL
WHEN THE PETITION HAS COLLECTED
WELL BEYOND THE REQUISITE
SIGNATURES AND MEET ALL
STATUTORY FORM OF PETITION
REQUIREMENTS AND THE COURT
PRECEDENT. SAYS NO, AND SO
THAT’S THEIR CLAIM THAT JUST
ARRIVED IN THE SUPREME COURT
JUST CAME BACK AS APPROVED IN
TERMS OF ACCEPTANCE, AND NOW
LET’S HEAR WHAT WHERE THIS IS
ALL GOING TO BE HEADED. AND THIS
IS A EGREGIOUS. ERROR OF THE
FORM IN THE WAY THIS IS LAID
OUT, AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT CLEAR ON THAT MICHIGAN
BOARD OF CANVASSERS CHAIR
ANTHONY DAUNT SAID A RUN ON
SENTENCE WITHOUT SPACED WORDS.
NOT THE CONTENT OF THE PETITION
IS WHAT LEFT HIM VOTING NOT TO
SEND THE REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
FOR ALL PETITIONED TO THE BALLOT
OVER THE LAST DECADE PETITION
DRIVE. ORGANIZERS BROUGHT NINE
SIMILAR APPEALS TO THE MICHIGAN
SUPREME COURT, AND IT
GREENLIGHTED EIGHT OF THEM. GONE
WERE NEWS SERVICE BUREAU CHIEFS
MCGEORGE HOUSE SAID TODAY THAT
HE HAS BEEN THERE FOR MOST OF
THEM AND BELIEVES THE BOARD OF
CANVASSERS CONCERNS AREN’T
LIKELY TO MATTER MUCH HERE. THE
SUPREME COURT WITH, YOU KNOW,
CHANGING JUSTICES OVER THE LAST
10 YEARS, BUT THERE’S BEEN A
CONSENSUS THAT BY AND LARGE
UNLESS IT’S A REALLY FLAGRANT
MISTAKE, UH UM, THEY’RE NOT JUST
GONNA WILLING, NEARLY KICKED
SOMETHING OFF THE BALLOT. NOW
I’M TOLD BY THE MICHIGAN SUPREME
COURT OFFICE TODAY THAT THE
JUSTICES MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE
ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE WHAT YOU
WOULD CONSIDER TO BE A FORMAL
HEARING WHERE THEY PUT ALL THE
JUDGES ON THE BENCH AND HAVE THE
ARGUMENTS BY THE ATTORNEYS. WHAT
THEY’RE SAYING IS, IT’S LIKELY
THAT THIS IS GOING TO END UP
BEING A ZOOM CALL BETWEEN THE
JUSTICES TAKING A LOOK AT THE
FILINGS FROM BOTH SIDES TO SEE
WHO WOULD VOTE. HOW ON THAT
SITUATION, SO WE’RE GOING TO
HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THE
SUPREME COURT DECIDES TO ACT ON
THAT BACK TO YOU HAPPENING JUST
IN THE PAST FEW YOU MINUTES AND
I KNOW YOU SPOKE TO REPS FROM
RIGHT TO LIFE. WHAT ARE THEY
SAYING ABOUT THIS? WELL THE NAME
OF THE GROUP IS CALLED SUPPORT
MICHIGAN WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS THAT WHEN
THE OPPOSITION MADE THEIR FILING
TO THE SUPREME COURT TODAY, THEY
TOOK AND PUT SPACES BETWEEN ALL
THE WORDS THAT WERE NOT ON THE
PETITION. AND THEY SAY THAT THAT
IS AN ISSUE THAT THE FORM
ACTUALLY DOES MATTER. AND SO
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE THIS
ENTIRE SITUATION IS A BAD ONE,
AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE FIGHTING
TO MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS OFF
OF THE BALLOT. SO THIS IS GOING
TO GET INTERESTING IN THE DAYS
AHEAD, BACK AND FORTH AND STILL
A LOT MORE TO COME. BROADWAY
APPRECIATE IT, DEVIN SCILLIAN
DEPENDENT SPECIAL MASTER IS
NEEDED TO OVERSEE THE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS SEIZED FROM MAR A LAGO
FOR PRESIDENT. TRUMP’S LEGAL
TEAM ARGUED THAT LEFT UNCHECKED
INVESTIGATORS COULD SELECTIVELY
LEAKED PARTS OF THE
INVESTIGATION, WHILE THE DOJ
INSISTS THAT DELAYING THE
INVESTIGATION COULD COMPROMISE
NATIONAL SECURITY ALICE BAR
FOLLOWING IT FROM WASHINGTON,
ALICE GOOD EVENING. TODAY MARKED
THE FIRST TIME THAT LAWYERS FOR
EACH SIDE HAVE FACED OFF IN A
COURTROOM SINCE THE FBI SEARCH
OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S HOME
LIBRARY BOOK SANDWICHES. HIGH
DRAMA, BUT NO DECISION TODAY IS
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND THE
TRUMP LEGAL TEAM SQUARED OFF IN
A FEDERAL COURTROOM. THE JUDGE
PROMISING A WRITTEN RULING LATER
ON ABOUT WHETHER TO BRING IN AN
INDEPENDENT SPECIAL MASTER TO
REVIEW EVIDENCE SEIZED DURING
THE FBI SEARCH OF FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MORE ALAGOAS
STATE, THE TRUMP LEGAL TEAM,
ARGUING THAT WITHOUT A THIRD
PARTY REVIEW UNCHECKED JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATORS COULD
SELECTIVELY LEAKED ASPECTS OF
THEIR INVESTIGATION. TRUMP
ATTORNEY ZEROING IN ON THIS
PHOTO FROM AN EARLIER JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT FILING SHOWING THE
FBI RECOVERED TOP SECRET
MATERIAL FROM MAR A LAGO, THE
TRUMP TEAM, ALLEGING THE
DOCUMENTS WERE SPREAD ACROSS THE
FLOOR FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT. THAT
IS NOT THE WAY HIS OFFICE LOOKS.
ANYBODY THAT KNOWS PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S OFFICE. HE HAS GUESTS
FREQUENTLY THEIR ARGUMENT THAT
VISITORS FREQUENTED THE FORMER
PRESIDENT’S PERSONAL OFFICE,
WHERE SEVERAL CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND, COULD
UNDERCUT HIS TEAM’S CLAIMS.
SENSITIVE MATERIALS WERE HELD IN
A SECURE SETTING THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT, ARGUING THAT
GOVERNMENT RECORDS WERE LIKELY
CONCEALED AND REMOVED BEFORE THE
FBI SEARCH AND THAT THE TRUMP
LEGAL TEAM MISLED INVESTIGATORS
ABOUT WHAT IT DID TURN OVER.
TRUMP ATTORNEYS CALLING THAT
CLAIM SIGNIFICANTLY
MISCHARACTERIZED AND SUGGESTING
IT’S NORMAL TO KEEP PRESIDENTIAL
RECORDS. THOUGH THE LAW SAYS
THEY BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT,
THE FORMER PRESIDENT DEFENDING
HIMSELF TODAY ON A CONSERVATIVE
RADIO SHOW SOME SINISTER PLOT,
CALLING THE INVESTIGATION
POLITICAL WHILE POINTING TO HIS
RISING POLL NUMBERS, CLAIMING
THE LEGAL TROUBLES ARE ACTUALLY
HELPING HIM. THIS ALL COMES AS
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GIVING A
PRIME TIME SPEECH TONIGHT IN
