HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
MICHIGANDERS.
>> Steve: FIRST, DOMINION VOTING
SYSTEMS TAKES ACTION AFTER
EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020
ELECTION.
THAT TOPS OUR NEWS HERE AT 6:00.
>> Karen: LAWYERS REPRESENTING
DOMINION HAVE ASKED ONE OF THE
MOST VOCAL CRITICS TO CEASE &
DESIST MAKING DEROGATORY CLAIMS.
SHE PARTICIPATED IN THE HEARING
IN FRONT OF THE MICHIGAN
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ON DECEMBER
2nd.
OVER TO PRIYA MANN WITH A LOOK
AT WHAT LAWYERS ARE ASKING OF
CARRONE TONIGHT.
>> Priya: SHE IS ACCUSED OF
SPREADING MISINFORMATION SHE HAD
NO BASIS IN REALITY AND THEY SAY
LITIGATION IS IMMINENT.
SHE MADE THIS STATEMENT IN
LANSING.
>> IT WAS CRAZY!
AND THEY WERE RUNNING THE
BALLOTS THROUGH WITHOUT
DISCARDING THEM, COUNTLESS
TIMES.
>> Priya: THEY FOUND HER
AFFIDAVIT NOT CREDIBLE.
SHE WAS A FREE-LANCE I. T.
WORKER AT THE TCF CENTER.
ATTORNEYS FROM DOMINION FIRED BACK:

>>> THE STATE OF MICHIGAN IS
WARNING THAT UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS WILL BE DELAYED BECAUSE
PRESIDENT TRUMP HELD OFF ON
SIGNING THE CORONAVIRUS BILL.
>> Karen: MICHIGAN MUST WAIT FOR
GUIDANCE BUT IT WILL PROVIDE
BACK PAY.
THE PRESIDENT SIGNED THE COVID
RELIEF BILL LAST NIGHT BUT STILL
DEMANDING CHANGES.
AND JUST BREAKING, WE DID LEARN
THE HOUSE HAS PASSED A BILL TO
INCREASE THE $600 DIRECT PAYMENT
TO $2,000.
THAT LEAVES THE PRESIDENT
ALIGNED WITH DEMOCRATS AND AT
ODDS WITH MANY REPUBLICANS.
>> I’M TELLING DONALD TRUMP,
DON’T JUST TALK ABOUT IT, ACT.
THE SENATE REPUBLICANS HAVE
FOLLOWED YOU THROUGH THICK AND
THIN AND GET THEM TO ACT AND
SUPPORT THE $2,000 CHECK.
>> WE’VE GOT 20-SOME DAYS LEFT
AND HAVE TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT.
AND WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR
PEOPLE HURTING RIGHT NOW DURING
COVID.
>> Steve: THE STATE OF MICHIGAN
HAS BEEN WORKING ON ITS OWN
RELIEF BILL THAT WOULD HELP THE
UNEMPLOYED AND LOCAL BUSINESSES.
>> Karen: IT PASSED AND NOW IS
ON THE GOVERNOR’S DESK.
MORE ON WHY SHE HASN’T SIGNED IT
YET.
GRANT?
>> Grant: MUCH OF WHAT IS IN
THAT BILL WAS SOMETHING THE
GOVERNOR ASKED FOR WHEN THEY
FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT,
LIGHT HAZARD PAY FOR FRONTLINE
WORKERS AND STATE UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS.
BUT SHE SAID REPUBLICANS DID NOT
NEGOTIATE THE BILL AND THEY’RE
REVIEWING IT.
THE SWEEPING BIPARTISAN BILL IS
STILL ON THE GOVERNOR’S DESK.
AFTER WEEKS OF NEGOTIATING THE
465 MILLION DOLLARS RELIEF
PACKAGE THAT PASSED THE STATE
LEGISLATURE LAST WEEK.
$220 MILLION FOR BENEFITS
EXTENSION FOR HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF UNEMPLOYED THROUGH
MARCH.
$100 MILLION IN HAZARD PAY FOR
FRONTLINE WORKERS AND $45
MILLION FOR DIRECT AID.
AND THERE’S ALSO MILLIONS FOR
BUSINESSES STILL STRUGGLING.
$63 MILLION IN SMALL BUSINESS
RELIEF AND $3.5 MILLION FOR
CONCERT VENUES.
NO CARVEOUTS.
AND NEARLY $80 MILLION FOR
VACCINE ROLLOUT AND ALMOST 23
MILLION FOR VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES LIKE NURSING HOMES.
WHITMER WANTS THE RELIEF BUT
ADDED THAT REPUBLICAN LEADERS CAN
.
>> Grant: AND TODAY ON TWITTER,
MIKE SHIRKEY SAID THIS WAS A
BILL THE GOVERNOR SHOULD HAVE
SIGNED THE MOMENT IT HIT HER
DESK.
HER OFFICE SAYS THEY ANTICIPATE
SHE WILL SIGN IT AND COULD
HAPPEN VERY SOON.
>> Karen: WHEN COULD THE MONEY
GET TO THE PEOPLE’S HANDS TO
REALLY, REALLY NEED THIS?
>> Grant: LIKELY IN THE COMING
WEEKS, ALTHOUGH SOMETIME LIKELY
IN MID-JANUARY.
BACK TO YOU.
>> Karen: WE APPRECIATE IT.
GRANT HERMES REPORTING LIVE FOR
US THIS EVENING.
>> Steve: A LOOK AT CORONAVIRUS
NUMBERS.
ON THE NATIONAL FRONT, 1 IN
1,000 AMERICANS HAVE DIED FROM
COVID-19 SINCE THE NATION FIRST
REPORTED THE INFECTION LAST
JANUARY.
ACCORDING TO THE COVID TRACKING
PROJECT, MORE AMERICANS WERE
HOSPITALIZED THIS WEEK THAN ANY
OTHER WEEK DURING THE PANDEMIC.
HERE AT HOME, THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN REPORTED MORE THAN 3200
NEW CASES AND 60 ADDITIONAL
DEATHS, BUT THAT’S A TWO-DAY
TOTAL FOR SUNDAY AND TODAY.
>> Karen: WE ARE HEARING FROM
THE WIFE OF A SOUTHFIELD FATHER
SHOT AND KILLED IN HIS OWN
DRIVEWAY.
THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AT THE
FAMILY’S HOME NEAR NORTHWESTERN
AND FRANKLIN.
EBONY SAID SHE HEARD DSHTS, AND
WANT OUTSIDE TO SEE HER HUSBAND
LAYING IN THE DRIVEWAY.
HE WAS HUSBAND IN THE NECK AND
THIGH AND DID NOT SURVIVE.
>> IT’S AN INSURMOUNTABLE LOSS.
IT CAN’T EVEN BE DESCRIBED.
I’M STILL IN SHOCK.
I’M STILL PROCESSING.
>> Karen: OFFICERS ARE STILL
LOOKING FOR HIS 2013 TOYOTA
TUNDRA.
>> Steve: THIS WAS A DATING APP
MEET-UP THAT TURNED DANGEROUS.
DETROIT POLICE LOOKING FOR THE
TWO MEN YOU SEE PICTURED HERE,
WANTED FOR CARJACKING AND
ASSAULTING A WOMAN THEY MET ON A
DATING APP.
SHE TICKED THEM UP ON NORTH LAWN
NEAR 8 MILE AND LIVERNOIS AND
MADE HER PULL OVER, PULLED HER
OUT OF THE CAR, THREW HER TO THE
GROUND AND TOOK OFF IN HER
CHRYSLER 300.
THEY FOUND THE CAR BUT ARE STILL
LOOKING FOR THE TWO MEN.
>> Karen: A QUICK LOOK AT OUR
FORECAST WITH PAUL AND A LIVE
LOOK OUTSIDE WITH YOUR SKY CAM.
NICE NIGHT OUT THERE.
>> Steve: IT’S A ROLLER COASTER
AND TEMPERATURES WILL LOOK LIKE
IT.
>> Paul: IF YOU TOOK THE DOG FOR
A WALK YESTERDAY AND DID THE
SAME THING IN THE EVENING, YOU
WERE RIGHT, THE TEMPERATURE WENT
UP TO 40 DEGREES YESTERDAY
EVENING.
AND WE GOT UP TO 44-45 DEGREES
AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
THEN THE COLD FRONT CAME THROUGH
N TWO HOURS, DOWN 10 DEGREES
BACK INTO THE MID-30s.
SO IT WAS COLDER WHEN YOU WOKE
UP.
RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TEMPERATURES
THAT HAVE DROPPED INTO THE UPPER
20s AND NEAR 30 DEGREES IN SOME
SPOTS.
PORT HURON, BUT THE WIND CHILLS
ARE IN THE UPPER TEENS THE 20s.
AND WE HAVE A FEW FLURRIES
AROUND AND THAT WILL BE THE CASE
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.
A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS
OVERNIGHT.
BUT THEN WE’RE WATCHING THE
FIRST OF TWO STORMS, TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND IT WILL
BE PRECEDED BY WINTRY WEATHER,
COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES.
THE LOCAL4CASTERS APP HAS
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW AND
EVERYTHING YOU NEED WHEN A STORM
LIKE THAT APPROACHES.
IT’S JUST LIKE THE RADAR ON TV
AND COLOR CODED TO SHOW YOU THE
PRECIPITATION.
GO TO THE APP STORE AND SEARCH WDIV.
AND BEST OF ALL, IT’S F-R-E-E!
>> Karen: A BANK ROBBER IN A
BRIGHT MASK ROBBED THE BANK AND
HANDED THE TELLER A NOTE AND
TOOK OFF WITH THE MONEY.
HE WAS LAST SEEN RUNNING DOWN
HALL ROAD INTO A STERLING
HEIGHTS APARTMENT COMPLEX.
IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS, CALL SHELBY TOWNSHIP
POLICE.
>>> MOURNERS REMEMBER WAYNE
COUNTY SHERIFF BENNY NAPOLEON.
>> Steve: HE WAS MUCH LOVED.
HE DIED EARLIER THIS MONTH AFTER
BALLOTING CORONAVIRUS.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TURNED OUT AT
SWANSON FUNERAL HOME TO PAY
THEIR RESPECTS.
IT WAS SOCIALLY DISTANT VIEWING.
ON NOR GUARDS WERE THERE TO HELP
WITH THE LARGE KRAUT.
MILTON GREETED MANY OF THE
PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT.
>> IT MEANS SO MUCH.
THEY’RE STANDING OUT HERE IN THE
COLD, YOU KNOW, TO HONOR MY
BROTHER.
AND I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS. AND IT IS REALLY A TRIBUTE TO

HIM AND WHAT HE’S DONE FOR THE
COMMUNITY.
