JONES BECAUSE OF SURVEILLANCE
VIDEO AND ANOTHER CLUE THAT

>> ONE OF THE CARS THAT IS
CONSTANTLY SEEN LEAVING IS A
WHITE 200 CHRYSLER, 200 IS ALSO
FOLLOWING THIS RED JEEP AROUND
QUITE OFTEN. AND A COUPLE OF THE

OFFICERS REMIND US IF YOUR CAR
DOES BREAK DOWN ON THE FREEWAY,
STAY INSIDE AND CALL 911. PRIYA

PRIX ARE ALREADY AFFECTING
DOWNTOWN TRAVELERS AND TRAFFIC
WHO USE THE DETROIT-WINDSOR
TUNNEL. NOW, WE DID WARN YOU
YESTERDAY THAT RACETRACK IS
BEING BUILT OVER ON JEFFERSON
AVENUE, SEVERAL STREETS IN THE
AREA, INCLUDING JEFFERSON, HAVE
STARTED CLOSING TODAY. THE

ATTACHED. WE DO HAVE AN UPDATE.
THE TUNNEL IS NOW OFFERING
PLACARDS THAT CAN BE DOWNLOADED,
PRINTED AND THEN PLACED IN YOUR

MORE TRAFFIC AND PARKING INFO
AND ALL THINGS GRAND PRIX. GO TO
OUR WEBSITE AT
CLICKONDETROIT.COM. COM IN YOUR
FIRST FORECAST, IT’S DEJA VU ALL
OVER AGAIN. MORE HEAT. ALSO, A
WARNING FOR PEOPLE TO BE CAREFUL
IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE. OBVIOUSLY,
THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS
. LET’S CHECK IN WITH FOREWARN
METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS.
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND IT’S
EARLY IN THE SEASON, SO WE’RE
NOT QUITE EXPECTING TO HAVE THIS
KIND OF HEAT IN MAY. IT’S STILL
TECHNICALLY SPRING AND WE SHOULD
BE IN THE 70S, BUT WE ARE WELL
ABOVE THAT IN THE MID TO UPPER
80S, JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE YOU
GO. LAPEER IS THE HIGHEST AT 88
DEGREES. 87 IN PONTIAC, UPPER
80S OVER IN HOWELL, 87 AT THE
CITY AIRPORT AND 86 OUT AT
METRO. NOW THIS EVENING, IF
YOU’RE HEADED OUT AND ABOUT OR
MAYBE YOU WANT TO EAT DINNER
OUTSIDE, IT WILL BE VERY MILD,
80 DEGREES AT 8:00, 74, TEN AND
70 DEGREES BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
NOW TOMORROW WE GO RIGHT BACK
INTO THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90
DEGREES WITH A LOT OF SUNSHINE.
AN ALSO AN AIR QUALITY ALERT DAY
FOR TOMORROW, BUT FINALLY IN THE
SEVEN DAY FORECAST, THERE’S A 70
DEGREE HIGH IN THERE. AND I’LL
TELL YOU WHICH DAY IT IS IN A
FEW MINUTES.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, KIM.
ALL EYES WILL BE ON CAPITOL HILL
TONIGHT. THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES IS EXPECTED TO
VOTE ON THE DEBT CEILING DEAL,
EVEN AS SOME LAWMAKERS ARE
REFUSING TO SUPPORT THE
AGREEMENT WITH A GOVERNMENT
DEFAULT LOOMING. KIMBERLY GILL
JOINS US NOW. AND, KIM, WE ARE
LOOKING AT A CONGRESSIONAL
CLIFFHANGER HERE. WE ARE. AND
GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU, KAREN.
>> THAT’S RIGHT. THERE’S A LOT
OF SUSPENSE HANGING OVER THE
DEBT CEILING DEAL. IT WAS
NEGOTIATED BY PRESIDENT BIDEN
AND HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN
MCCARTHY. BUT IT’S UP TO THE
RANK AND FILE DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICAN AMERICANS TO DECIDE
IF IT ACTUALLY BECOMES LAW. THE
DEAL JUST BARELY PASSED ITS
FIRST TEST LAST NIGHT WHEN THE
HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE PUSHED IT
FORWARD BY A VOTE OF 7 TO 6.
SOME MORE CONSERVATIVE
REPUBLICANS AND MORE PROGRESSIVE
DEMOCRATS ARE BLASTING THE BILL
, THREATENING TO VOTE NO. THE
CHALLENGE HERE IS TO SEE IF THE
PRESIDENT AND HOUSE SPEAKER CAN
HOLD THE MIDDLE WITH ENOUGH
VOTES TO GET THE BILL ACROSS THE
FINISH LINE IN THE HOUSE. SO IF
THE BILL PASSES THE HOUSE, THE
SENATE COULD START ITS WORK AS
SOON AS TOMORROW. BUT THAT
PROCESS COULD LAG INTO THE
WEEKEND. SPEAKER MCCARTHY SAYS
THIS BILL ISN’T THE END.
PROBABLY TRYING TO SWAY
CONSERVATIVES. LISTEN
>> IT’S JUST A SMALL STEP.
PUTTING US ON THE RIGHT TRACK
AFTER TODAY, I’M GOING TO PUT A
COMMISSION TOGETHER TO LOOK AT
THE ENTIRE BUDGET. I MADE CLEAR
THAT I’M GOING TO SUPPORT THE
LEGISLATION THAT IS ON THE FLOOR
TODAY DAY AND THAT I SUPPORT IT
WITH OUT HESITATION.
>> RESERVATION OR TREPIDATION,
NOT BECAUSE IT’S PERFECT, BUT IN
DIVIDED GOVERNMENT, WE OF
COURSE, CANNOT ALLOW THE PERFECT
TO BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD THAT
REMEMBER THE SO-CALLED DEFAULT
DEADLINE IS JUNE 5TH.
>> THAT’S JUST FIVE DAYS AWAY.
THAT’S WHEN THE GOVERNMENT WOULD
RUN OUT OF MONEY TO PAY ALL OF
ITS BILLS. SO WE’LL KEEP
WATCHING IT.
>> SO IF THE BILL PASSES THE
HOUSE, WHAT ABOUT THE SENATE IN
TERMS OF SUPPORTERS? HOW IS THAT
GOING TO TURN OUT SO WE’RE
HEARING IT WILL BE TIGHT THERE
AS WELL.
>> THE REPUBLICAN SENATE WHIP
BELIEVES THAT AT LEAST NINE
REPUBLICANS WILL SUPPORT THE
BILL TO REACH THE 60 VOTES
NEEDED TO PASS IT. WE’LL, OF
COURSE, BE COUNTING THE VOTES
AND LOOKING AHEAD WHEN YOU JOIN
US FOR LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE. ALL
RIGHT.
>> SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU, KIM.
WELL, THIS JUST IN. CNN AND
OTHER OUTLETS ARE REPORTING
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE
WILL ANNOUNCE HE IS RUNNING FOR
THE WHITE HOUSE NEXT WEDNESDAY.
SO THAT MEANS HE WILL BE RUNNING
AGAINST HIS FORMER BOSS, DONALD
TRUMP, AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN THE
2024 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. PENCE
WILL ANNOUNCE ONE DAY AFTER
CHRIS CHRISTIE IS SUPPOSED TO
GET INTO THE RACE AS WELL. NBC’S
SAYS TWO SOURCES CONFIRM THE
FORMER NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR IS
GETTING READY TO MAKE IT
OFFICIAL, SO THIS WOULD BE HIS
SECOND RUN AFTER A FAILED
ATTEMPT BACK IN 2016. CHRISTIE
WILL REPORTEDLY MAKE HIS
ANNOUNCEMENT NEXT TUESDAY IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE. IT IS A STARTLING
TREND. DOCTORS SEEING INCREASING
NUMBERS OF STROKES IN YOUNGER
PEOPLE. ACCORDING TO THE
AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION,
THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A 44%
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF YOUNG
ADULTS HOSPITALIZED DUE TO
STROKE. BUT MANY YOUNGER PEOPLE
DON’T KNOW THEY’RE AT RISK OR
THEY DON’T KNOW THE WARNING
SIGNS. OUR DOCTOR FRANK MCGEORGE
IS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM WITH A
STORY OF ONE YOUNG WOMAN WHO IS
DEVOTED TO HELPING CHANGE THAT.
>> 32 YEAR OLD SARAH ROOD OF
WYANDOTTE WAS AT HOME GETTING
READY TO GO TO A HOCKEY GAME
WHEN SHE SUDDENLY SUFFERED A
STRANGE SYMPTOM. IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN EASY TO BRUSH IT OFF, BUT
WHAT SHE DID INSTEAD IS A LESSON
FOR OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE. ALL OF A
SUDDEN, MY ARM FROM ABOUT HERE
DOWN JUST WENT COMPLETELY NUMB
TO THE FACT THAT I HAD TO, LIKE
PICK IT BACK UP, WHICH WAS
REALLY STRANGE.
>> SARAH ROOD INITIALLY THOUGHT
IT COULD BE CAUSED BY HER
ANXIETY.
>> IT WAS CONCERNING, BUT IT WAS
JUST KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, MAYBE
IT’S A PANIC ATTACK, MAYBE
THERE’S SOMETHING THAT I’M
NERVOUS ABOUT THAT I’M JUST NOT,
YOU KNOW, VISUALIZE DOING.
>> BUT SHE IMMEDIATELY CALLED
HER MOM ANYWAY AND TOLD HER
SOMETHING DIDN’T FEEL RIGHT. I
TOLD HER, YOU KNOW, MY HAND WENT
NUMB.
>> I HAD TO PICK IT UP. AND THEN
AS I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HER,
MY SPEECH STARTED SLURRING. AS
SOON AS MY SPEECH STARTED
SLURRING, IT WAS REALLY TO THE
POINT WHERE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING
ISN’T RIGHT. AND THIS IS
DEFINITELY AN EMERGENCY.
>> THEY CALLED 911. I REMEMBER
HAVING THE WORDS SO CLEARLY THAT
I THOUGHT I WAS TRYING TO SAY
AND THE WORDS COMING OUT WERE
JUST RANDOM.
>> SARAH’S RING DOORBELL
CAPTURED THE SCENE AS PARAMEDICS
TRANSPORTED HER OUT OF THE
HOUSE.
>> THE EMS CAME.
>> THEY LOOKED AT ME. THEY
DIDN’T THINK IT WAS A STROKE. AT
FIRST. MY VITAL SIGNS WERE OKAY.
IT WAS THE TYPICAL LIKE, WELL,
YOU’RE YOUNG, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE
HEALTHY. MAYBE IT’S BELL’S PALSY
AND YOU JUST HAVE THE NUMBNESS.
>> AT THE HOSPITAL, DOCTORS
ORDERED A CT SCAN. I JUST
REMEMBER THEM, LIKE COMING IN
PRETTY QUICKLY AND, LIKE,
THROWING THE BED BACK AND WAS
LIKE, WE FOUND A CLOT IN YOUR
BRAIN.
>> YOU NEED TO LAY FLAT. WE’RE
GOING TO TRANSFER YOU TO HENRY
FORD DOWNTOWN. SO SO THAT WAS
KIND OF THE BIG MOMENT OF LIKE
SOMETHING ISN’T OKAY.
>> SARAH’S FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO
CALL A FRIEND TO CARE FOR HER
BELOVED DOGS. RORY AND CAPTAIN.
SHE WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR FIVE
DAYS, NUMEROUS TESTS FOUND NO
EXPLANATION FOR THE BLOOD CLOT
IN HER BRAIN. JUST KIND OF
CHALKED IT UP TO LIKE, YES,
THERE WAS A CLOT.
>> WE DON’T REALLY KNOW WHY WE
DON’T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT, BUT,
YOU KNOW, IT’S THERE. YOU’RE ARE
OKAY TO GO HOME ON BLOOD
THINNERS AND CHECK UPS THROUGH
IT ALL, I JUST KEPT THINKING
LIKE, I’M TOO YOUNG FOR THIS TO
HAPPEN. LIKE, WHY DID THIS
HAPPEN? THERE’S NO GOOD REASON.
AND I’M TOO YOUNG. IT WAS A BIG
LESSON OF YOU’RE NOT TOO YOUNG.
IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. IT CAN
HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU THINK
YOU’RE COMPLETELY HEALTHY AND
YOU CAN BE COMPLETELY HEALTHY
OTHER THAN THAT, IT’S BEEN OVER
A YEAR SINCE HER STROKE WITH THE
SUPPORT OF FAMILY AND CLOSE
FRIENDS, SARAH HAS RECOVERED.
TOOK CARE OF MY DOGS. ANYTHING
THAT I NEEDED, YOU KNOW, GOT ME
ENTERTAINED. I COULDN’T HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT THEM.
>> SARAH RAN A HALF MARATHON
BEFORE THE STROKE. SHE’S RUN
THREE MORE SINCE AND IS NOW
TRAINING FOR A FULL MARATHON
THIS FALL. THE STROKE WAS ALSO A
TURNING POINT. PROFESSIONALLY,
SARAH IS NOW THE COMMUNICATIONS
DIRECTOR FOR THE AMERICAN HEART
ASSOCIATION.
>> THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
REALLY DROVE ME TO LOOK FOR A
CAREER WITH THE AMERICAN HEART
ASSOCIATION WAS IS HELPING GET
THAT MESSAGE OUT. THESE ARE THE
SIGNS SHE WANTS EVERYONE OF ALL
AGES TO LEARN. THE ACRONYM IS
FAST. SO IT’S FACE DROOPING ARMS
. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE ONE
ISN’T DROPPING AND SPEECH
SLURRING IF YOUR SPEECH STARTS
SLURRING OR IF YOU JUST HAVE
TROUBLE, LIKE FINDING THE WORDS
OR IT GETS REALLY SLOW, LIKE YOU
FEEL LIKE YOU CAN’T TALK AT A
NORMAL SPEED AND THEN T IS TIME
FOR TIME TO CALL 911.
>> SARAH’S GRATEFUL FOR HER
MOM’S FAST THINKING. SHE NOW HAS
A PERMANENT REMINDER OF WHAT
SHE’S OVERCOME.
>> IT HAS THE STROKE AND HEART
RIBBON AND IT’S ACTUALLY WRITTEN
IN MY MOM’S HANDWRITING. SO IT’S
JUST A REMINDER THAT, YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE STRONGER. YOU CAN DO IT.
SO AND THAT IS A MESSAGE THAT
SHE’LL BE SHARING IN HER NEW
ROLE AS WELL.
>> NOW, IT’S NOT CLEAR WHY WE’RE
SEEING AN INCREASE IN STROKES IN
YOUNGER PEOPLE. SOME OF IT MAY
BE LINKED TO INCREASES IN
INACTIVE CITY OBESITY, HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES AND
MAYBE EVEN DRUG USE. BUT NONE OF
THAT APPLIES TO SARAH OR A LOT
OF OTHER YOUNGER STROKE PATIENTS
