FROM HIS TIME AS VICE PRESIDENT

IN THE NEWSROOM WITH MORE ON HOW
WE GOT HERE, AND WHAT COMES
NEXT. KIM GOOD AFTERNOON,
ALTHOUGH THE FIRST DOCUMENTS
WERE DISCOVERED BACK IN EARLY

STARTED TO MOVE MORE RAPIDLY
SINCE IT BECAME PUBLIC IN THE
PAST FEW DAYS. EARLIER TODAY,
THE PRESIDENT ACKNOWLEDGED MORE
DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND IN HIS
PERSONAL LIBRARY. AND IN THE
GARAGE OF HIS HOME IN
WILMINGTON’S DELAWARE. THE FIRST
DOCUMENTS WERE FOUND IN AN
OFFICE BUILDING IN WASHINGTON,
D. C WERE BIDEN HAD AN OFFICE
BETWEEN THE TIME HE WAS VICE
PRESIDENT IN THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION AND ITS 2020 RUN
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. THE SMALL
NUMBER OF DOCUMENTS WAS FOUND
BEFORE THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.
BUT THE DISCOVERY WAS JUST MADE
PUBLIC. THIS WEEK, THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STARTED AN
INVESTIGATION BACK THEN, AND
RECENTLY DECIDED THERE WAS MORE
TO BE DONE. TODAY GARLAND

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO TAKE
POSSESSION OF THE DOCUMENT. SO
YOU’RE GOING TO SEE WE’RE GOING
TO SEE ALL OF THIS UNFOLD. I’M
CONFIDENT. I KNOW ABOUT THANK
YOU VERY MUCH, BUT I THINK
CONGRESS HAS TO INVESTIGATE THIS

BEEN IN OFFICE FOR MORE THAN 40
YEARS. HERE’S AN INDIVIDUAL THAT
SAT ON 60 MINUTES THAT WAS SO
CONCERNED ABOUT PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S DOCUMENTS LOCKED IN
BEHIND, AND NOW WE FIND IT JUST
AS A VICE PRESIDENT, KEEPING IT
FOR YEARS OUT IN THE OPEN IN
DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. WELL. THE
WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT IS CONFIDENT

INADVERTENTLY MISPLACED. THOSE
ARE THEIR WORDS, THE NEW SPECIAL
COUNSEL ROBERT HER, SAYS HE WILL
CONDUCT AN IMPARTIAL
INVESTIGATION. WITHOUT FEAR OR
FAVOR. WE’LL HAVE MUCH MORE
REACTION. ALL OF THIS WHEN YOU

O’CLOCK FOR NOW, CARING, WE’LL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, KIM. LOCAL FATHER

CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING HIS FOUR
YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. EARLIER THIS
WEEK, ERIC MARDINI WAS ARRESTED
IN OHIO TUESDAY NIGHT. POLICE
SAY HE DISAPPEARED FROM
MARYSVILLE WITH HIS LITTLE GIRL
AFTER BEING ORDERED TO GIVE
CUSTODY TO HER MOTHER ALSO SAY
HE MADE STATEMENTS TO HER MOM
THAT SHE WOULD NEVER SEE HER
DAUGHTER AGAIN TODAY IN OUR DINI
PLEADED NOT GUILTY, THE JUDGE

EXCITING SARDINES. PREVIOUS
CRIMINAL HISTORY WILL BE BACK IN
COURT. JANUARY 24TH. THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT HAS BEEN ON EDGE FOR
DAYS DURING A SERIES OF THREATS
, BUT POLICE ARE CALLING THE
LATEST INCIDENT OF SUBSTANTIATED
. THE RICHMOND SCHOOL DISTRICT
WAS CLOSED TODAY. ONCE AGAIN
AFTER A THREAT WAS REPORTED
THROUGH THE OKAY TO SAY
PLATFORM. SOMEONE CLAIMED A
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT WAS
THREATENING TO BRING A GUN TO
SCHOOL, TOOK POLICE SOME TIME TO
FIND THE STUDENT. HE DENIED
MAKING THE THREAT AND DID NOT
HAVE ACCESS TO A GUN. THIS
THREAT FOLLOWED TWO OTHERS IN
RECENT DAYS, THREATS TO A STAFF
MEMBER AND FAMILY AND
THREATENING EMAIL TO A TEACHER.
INVESTIGATIONS INTO THOSE CASES
CONTINUE, AND WE ARE WAITING FOR
A DECISION FROM THE RICHMOND
SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT WHETHER IT
WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW. WE’LL LET
YOU KNOW ONCE WE KNOW VICE
PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS JUST
LEAVING ANN ARBOR AFTER STOPPING
IN TOWN FOR A CONVERSATION ABOUT
CLIMATE CHANGE. SHE WAS AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN TO TALK
ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S
EFFORTS TO TRANSFORM AMERICA’S
RESPONSE TO THAT CHALLENGE.
HARRIS AND ENERGY SECRETARY
JENNIFER GRANHOLM. WE’RE ALSO
DIGGING INTO HOW THE BATTLE
AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS
THINGS LIKE JOB CREATION, PUBLIC
HEALTH AND POVERTY. WE HAD A
CREW IN THE AUDITORIUM AND WE’LL
BRING YOU SOME OF THE VICE
PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS AND
REACTIONS LIVE AT FIVE. I’M
BEFORE WARREN FORECAST CHANGING
AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING, WE
COULD SEE SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE
. CAN ADAM STEPS IN WITH AN
UPDATE. SO WHAT TYPE OF TIMING
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? KIM WE’RE
TALKING AFTER 11 O’CLOCK TONIGHT
BECAUSE TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOVE FREEZING UNTIL THEN, SO WE
WILL GET THROUGH THE EVENING
COMMUTE IN MUCH OF THE EVENING
HOURS WITHOUT ANY KIND OF
FREEZING PRECEPT AND EVEN WHAT
WE’RE GETTING IS GOING TO BE
VERY, VERY LIGHT. BUT IT’S
SOMETHING WE WANT TO MAKE YOU
AWARE OF RIGHT NOW. WE’RE JUST
GETTING SOME VERY LIGHT PRECEPT
IN PARTS OF MACOMB COUNTY WILL
ZOOM IN FOR YOU HERE. STERLING
HEIGHTS, RIGHT? AROUND RYAN
ROAD, A COUPLE OF AREAS OF
DRIZZLE. NOTHING HEAVY AND AGAIN
. TEMPERATURES ARE WELL ABOVE
FREEZING NOW, BUT THEY WILL BE
DROPPING BELOW FREEZING LATER ON
TONIGHT 36 IN PONTIAC 38 RIGHT
NOW IN MOUNT CLEMENS, 40TH CITY
AIRPORT, SO THE WEATHER STORY
WILL HAVE LIGHT DRIZZLE AND THEN
A PERIOD OF JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
LIGHT, FREEZING DRIZZLE AND THEN
A FEW FLURRIES THROUGH FRIDAY,
SUNSHINE RETURNS JUST IN TIME
FOR THE WEEKEND. I’LL TALK MORE
ABOUT THAT COMING UP IN A FEW
MINUTES. ALRIGHT WELL, TODAY
THERE ARE SOME NEW PIECES IN
AMERICA IS CONFUSING ECONOMIC
PUZZLE AS INFLATION DIPS AGAIN,
CONSUMER PRICES WERE UP 6.5% IN
DECEMBER COMPARED TO A YEAR
EARLIER, BUT THAT’S LOWER THAN
WHAT IT WAS IN NOVEMBER, WHICH
RANG IN AT 7.1% AND ALSO IS THE
LARGEST MONTHLY DROP SINCE APRIL
OF 2020. STILL THE NUMBERS ARE
FAR FROM THE 2% INFLATION. THE
FEDERAL RESERVE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE THE CENTRAL BANK IS STILL
EXPECTED TO RAISE ITS BENCHMARK
RATE BY AT LEAST A QUARTER
PERCENT WHEN IT MEETS AT THE END
OF THIS MONTH. FIRST LADY JOE
BIDEN IS RECOVERING THIS
AFTERNOON AFTER DOCTORS REMOVE
SOME SKIN CANCER LESIONS ON HER
FACE AND HER CHEST. SHE’S BACK
AT THE WHITE HOUSE. AFTER
YESTERDAY’S TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL
DOCTORS PLAN TO REMOVE A LESION
OVER HER RIGHT EYE AND THEN ALSO
FOUND ANOTHER ON HER CHEST AND
ON HER LEFT EYELID REMOVED.
LESIONS ARE BASIL CELL CARCINOMA
, WHICH IS THE MOST COMMON TYPE
OF SKIN CANCER. BUT IT’S ALSO
THE MOST CURABLE. DOCTORS
REMOVED THE CANCER WITH A
SHALLOW INCISION THAT SELDOM
CAUSES COMPLICATIONS OR BECOMES
LIFE THREATENING. WHEN IT COMES
TO YOUR HEALTH. DO YOU KNOW IF
YOU ARE GETTING ENOUGH VITAMIN
DAYS? THAT’S SOMETHING WE REALLY
TALKED ABOUT A LOT BUT ARE LONG
WINTERS AND GRAY DAYS CONTRIBUTE
TO A VITAL VITAMIN DEFICIENCY
THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED. POLITICIAN JOINS US
FROM THE ROCHESTER MUNICIPAL
PARK, WHERE THE REASON FOR THE
DEFICIENCY IS WELL, PRETTY
OBVIOUS. PAULA YEAH. LOOK AT THE
DAY. ABSOLUTELY OKAY, SO THIS IS
UNSAFE ICE? NO ICE THERE, BUT AT
LEAST WE DON’T HAVE SNOW UP TO
OUR WAIST. BUT WHEN YOU TAKE A
LOOK ACROSS THE POND, YOU CAN
SEE THIS IS A THIS IS A PRETTY
TYPICAL LOOKING MICHIGAN DAY,
WHICH IS WHY WE ARE DEEP
EFFICIENT IN A MAJOR VITAMIN.
BRITAIN ASK ANYONE WHAT VITAMIN
C DOES, AND THEY’LL TELL YOU
COLD. YOU TAKE VITAMIN C VITAMIN
B GIVES YOU ENERGY AND YOUR RED
BLOOD CELLS VITAMIN D VITAMIN D
FROM THE SUN BONE HOUSE, KNOWN
AS THE SUNSHINE VITAMIN. MANY OF
US KNOW WHAT IT IS. BUT DID YOU
ALSO KNOW THAT HIS MICHIGANDERS
WE DON’T GET ENOUGH OF IT? I
WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. THAT’S
WHY I TAKE THE SUPPLEMENT TO
SUPPLEMENT MY SUNSHINE OR LACK
OF OBVIOUS WHY JUST LOOK AROUND
CLOUDY GRAY SKIES IN THE WINTER
LONG WINTERS, SHORT DAYS A
POTPOURRI OF REASONS, THE
WEBSITE DRUG GENIUS FOUND
MICHIGANDERS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY
DEFICIENT IN VITAMIN D, AND
LOCAL DOCTORS AGREE. IT’S
IMPORTANT FOR SO MANY THINGS
LIKE MAINTAINING GOOD BONE
HEALTH. FOR OUR MUSCLES, FOR OUR
NERVES ARE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND
EVEN OUR MOOD. SO HERE’S WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE DEFICIENT
IN VITAMIN D. FATIGUE IS ONE
SYMPTOM. DEPRESSED MOOD CAN BE
ANOTHER SYMPTOM, BRITTLE BONES
AND MUSCLE ACHES. AND IF YOU’RE
EXPERIENCING ALL OF THOSE
SYMPTOMS, YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO
TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT
GETTING THAT VITAMIN D LEVEL
CHECKED. HERE’S WHAT YOU DO TO
FIX THE DEFICIENCY. SO FOODS
LIKE FATTY FISH, BEEF AND MILK
ARE GREAT NATURAL WAYS TO KEEP
UP LEVELS OF VITAMIN D, BUT FOR
VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS LITTLE
MORE DIFFICULT. AND ALSO THE
COLOR OF YOUR SKIN IS A FACTOR.
THAT’S WHEN YOU CONSIDER
SUPPLEMENTS. GENERALLY IT’S SAFE
TO SAY THAT ESPECIALLY IN THE
WINTERTIME MOST ADULTS CAN
HANDLE ABOUT 600 UNITS OF
VITAMIN D DAILY. IT’S A LITTLE
BIT MORE FOR THE ELDERLY OR
PEOPLE WITH DARKER SKIN. THEY
MAY WANT TO RANGE ABOUT 800
UNITS A DAY. ANOTHER THING
THAT’S STILL BEING STUDIED, AND
WE KNOW THAT VITAMIN D HAS BEEN
LINKED TO IMMUNE EFFICIENCY. AND
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, COVID HAS
BEEN RAMPANT OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS, AND SO WE’RE STUDYING THE
EFFECTS OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENT
PATIENTS AND HOW THEY DID WHEN
THEY CONTRACTED COVID. DID THEY
DO WORSE? UM THAN SOMEONE ELSE
WHO HAD A NORMAL VITAMIN D LEVEL
DR RAINA DAYS, IT FROM HENRY
FORD HEALTH SAYS. BUT BE CAREFUL
WHEN SELF SUPPLEMENTING CONTRAST
VITAMIN C. YOU CAN TAKE AND TAKE
AND TAKE AND OUR BODY JUST PEES
OUT THE ACCESS. IT’S NOT A BIG
DEAL AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NORMAL
FUNCTIONING KIDNEYS, BUT A D E
AND K. THOSE VITAMINS ARE FAT
SOLUBLE SO WE CAN WE CAN RUN
INTO THE RISK OF PATIENTS
BECOMING TAX SIX FROM HIGH
LEVELS. YEAH YOU REALLY HAVE TO
BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT. WHEN
YOURSELF SUPPLICATION. YOU’RE
USING THOSE SUPPLEMENTS. THIS
COULD BECOME TOXIC. SO IF YOU
FIND OUT YOU HAVE A VITAMIN D
DEFICIENCY. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY,
IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT ASK YOUR
DOCTOR SO YOU CAN AT LEAST GET
YOUR BLOOD TESTED. I WILL SAY
THIS. I DID TALK TO HIM ABOUT
IT, PAUL GROSS. AND HE SAYS
WE’RE GONNA HAVE SOME SUNSHINE
THIS WEEKEND. KAREN. SO WE COME
OUT HERE. AND WE CAN SUCK IN
SOME OF THOSE VITAMIN D NATURAL
RAYS TO WORK ON OUR DEEDS.
DEFICIENCIES I AGREE, AND PLUS
THE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE
WARMER, SO IT’S DEFINITELY A
GOOD REASON TO GET OUTSIDE AND
GET SOME OF THAT SON SURE LOOKS
GREAT OUT THERE, THOUGH. IT
REALLY DOES FOLLOW. IT IS GREAT
. YEAH THANKS. ALRIGHT, IT’S
