KAMALA HARRIS. KIM AFTERNOON.
THAT’S RIGHT. THE HIGH PROFILE
NATURE OF TYREE NICHOLS DEATH
TURNED HIS FUNERAL AND IT’S
SOMETHING MORE THAN A TIME OF
GRIEF. IT ALSO FEATURED CALLS
FOR ACTION AND JUSTICE YOU’LL
HEAR FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT AND
JUST A MOMENT, BUT FIRST, THIS
IS A SAD FAREWELL TO FATHER, SON
AND BROTHER. YOU ARE. STRIPPING
. NO THE MASSIVE CROWD WAS
REMEMBERING A MAN WHO WAS JUST
29 YEARS OLD. HE WAS THE FATHER
OF A FOUR YEAR OLD SON, A
SKATEBOARD ENTHUSIASTS AND
AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER. VIDEO HAS
SHOWN NICHOLS WAS BEATEN DURING
AN ARREST AFTER REPORTEDLY BEING
CHASED ON SUSPICION OF RECKLESS
DRIVING. FIVE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN
CHARGED WITH SECOND DEGREE
MURDER WHILE THEY AWAIT THEIR
DAY IN COURT. VICE PRESIDENT
KAMALA HARRIS MADE IT CLEAR SHE
BELIEVES NICHOLS DEATH SHOULD
NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS A
FAMILY THAT LOST THEIR SON. AND
THEIR BROTHER. THROUGH AN ACT OF
VIOLENCE. AT THE HANDS AND THE
FEET. OF PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN
CHARGED WITH KEEPING THEM SAFE.
VICE PRESIDENT ALSO CALLED ON
CONGRESS TO PASS THE GEORGE
FLOYD JUSTICE AND POLICING ACT.

THANK YOU, CAM. WELL, THE FBI
SEARCH PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN’S
VACATION HOME IN DELAWARE TODAY,
AND HIS ATTORNEY SAYS AGENTS DID
NOT FIND ANY CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS. THE FBI WAS ON THE
SCENE FOR A FEW HOURS. THEY DID
TURN UP SOME HANDWRITTEN NOTES
AND OTHER MATERIALS RELATING TO
BIDEN’S TIME AS VICE PRESIDENT
FOR REVIEW. IT’S THE THIRD TIME
IN THREE MONTHS, AGENTS HAVE
SCOURED BIDEN’S PROPERTY AFTER
SOME CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS WERE
FOUND IN AN OFFICE HE ONCE USED
IN WASHINGTON, D. C BACK IN
NOVEMBER. SPECIAL COUNSEL IS NOW
OVERSEEING THE BIDEN
INVESTIGATION. AT THIS HOUR. THE
PRESIDENT SHOULD BE MEETING WITH
HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY TO
TALK ABOUT RAISING THE DEBT
CEILING. ANOTHER KEY ISSUES NOW
THIS IS THE FIRST STEP FOR
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TO
IRON OUT THE CRITICAL BUDGET
ISSUES BEFORE THE U. S
GOVERNMENT MIGHT START
DEFAULTING ON ITS OBLIGATIONS
NOW THAT COULD HAPPEN SOMETIME
IN JUNE. IF NO AGREEMENT CAN BE
REACHED. MEANTIME, THE FIGHT
AGAINST INFLATION CONTINUES THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE FEDERAL RESERVE
JUST BOOSTED INTEREST RATES
AGAIN. THE FED RAISED A KEY RATE
BY A QUARTER POINT. IT IS THE
EIGHTH INCREASE SINCE LAST MARCH
. THE AGENCY ALSO INDICATED EVEN
THOUGH INFLATION IS EASING, IT
IS STILL HIGH ENOUGH THAT MORE
RATE HIKES ARE AHEAD NOW.
ALTHOUGH THIS HIKE IS SMALLER,
IT WILL LIKELY RAISE THE COST
FOR MANY CONSUMER AND BUSINESS
LOANS. IN DECEMBER. OVERALL,
INFLATION EASED TO 6.5% BY THE
FEDS. GOAL IS JUST 2. SO EXPECT
THOSE HIKES. HERE’S A QUICK LOOK
AT HOW THE MARKETS ARE
RESPONDING TALKS HAD BEEN
DRIFTING LOWER EARLIER IN THE
DAY. RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SEE THE
DOW JONES JUST UP 6.92 POINTS
MARKET COMING OFF A STRONG
JANUARY STOCKS ROSE AND HOPES
THAT COOLING INFLATION MIGHT
EASE FUTURE RATE HIKES. RIGHT
NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE FURTHER HIKES
, AS WE SAID, COULD COME AS
EARLY AS MARCH, EVEN IN MAY.
WELL THIS TIME, IT’S FOR GOOD.
THAT’S THE MESSAGE FROM
QUARTERBACK TOM BRADY AS HE
ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT FROM
PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL. HE DID IT
QUICKLY AND BRIEFLY AND SOCIAL
MEDIA. I KNOW THE PROCESS WAS A
PRETTY BIG DEAL LAST TIME, SO
WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, I
FIGURED I JUST PRESS RECORD AND
LET YOU GUYS KNOW FIRST, SO
WON’T BE LONG WINDED LIKE YOU
ONLY GET ONE SUPER EMOTIONAL
RETIREMENT ESSAY AND I USED MINE
UP LAST YEAR. READY MADE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT EXACTLY ONE YEAR
AFTER HIS FIRST RETIREMENT, HE
LATER DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THE
TAMPA BAY BUCKS THE TEAM LOST IN
THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.
HE’S NOT DONE WORKING, THOUGH.
BRADY HAS A 10 YEAR $375 MILLION
DEAL TO DO TV ANALYSIS FOR FOX
SPECIAL CONCERT IS HAPPENING
TONIGHT IN MONROE. IT’S BEING
HOSTED BY MEMBERS OF THE MONROE
HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND TO
BENEFIT A LOCAL SHELTER THERE.
JASON COLTHORPE REPORTS. THE
HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR BEHIND THIS
JUST WANTS TO PAY IT FORWARD.
KAREN WE’RE TALKING ABOUT JUDE
STAMPER, THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS
REALLY THE INSPIRATION OF
MICHIGAN BASKETBALL’S FINAL FOUR
RUN IN 2018. THE FOLLOWING YEAR,
THE MONROE MARCHING BAND RAISED
MONEY FOR A SPECIAL CARD. SO
WHEN IT TOOK THE FIELD, JUDE
COULD ALSO BE OUT THERE. NOW
HE’S DOING THE FUNDRAISING. I
MIGHT PULL OUT THIS, UM, PIANO
SOLO. I’VE BEEN WORKING ON KIND
OF LIKE TO FINISH UP. FINISH
THIS OFF. TECHNICALLY JUDE
STAMPER IS JUST M SEEING
TONIGHT’S CONCERT TO BENEFIT THE
FOLKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS SHELTER,
BUT HE MAY JOIN IN AT SOME POINT
. THE CONCERT IS TO RAISE MONEY
FOR THE SHELTER AS PART OF
JUDE’S LEADERSHIP PROJECT FOR
EAGLE SCOUTS. HE STARTED BY
TALKING TO THE PASTOR AT THE
SHELTER ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED.
THEY WERE HAVING THE, UM
TRANSPORT THERE. UM, THE PEOPLE
THAT WERE STAYING AT THE
SHELTER. TO LIKE HOSPITALS OUT
OF THEIR OWN POCKET, AND THE
MINIVAN THAT THEY’RE ACTUALLY
USING RIGHT NOW IS, UM, IT’S
PRETTY OLD AND NOT VERY GOOD, SO
THE GOAL QUICKLY BECAME TO RAISE
$5000 TO HELP WITH A NEW MINIVAN
FOR HIS PARENTS, WHO HAVE
WATCHED JUDE ENDURE NEARLY A
DOZEN SURGERIES BECAUSE OF A
LIFETIME DISORDER KNOWN AS AMC
THAT AFFECTS HIS JOINTS. IT
MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO SEE HIM
HELPING OTHERS. IT’S HARD TO PUT
INTO WORDS. UH MY WIFE AND I ARE
JUST ABSOLUTELY PROUD OF WHO
JUDAH IS AND WHAT HE REPRESENTS
. AS A AS A PERSON, UM JUDAS
ALWAYS TRIED TO USE HIS SUPER
ABILITIES TO BENEFIT OTHERS. AND
UH AND I JUST DON’T SEE THAT
STOPPING. I HAVE CERTAIN
PHYSICAL CHALLENGES, BUT LIKE IN
THE WAYS THAT I CAN TRULY MAKE A
DIFFERENCE. THAT’S THE WAY I
WANT TO HELP PEOPLE AND I FEEL
LIKE LIKE THIS WAY OF LEADING
AND HELPING PEOPLE RAISE MONEY
FOR A SHELTER. AND FOR THOSE
LESS FORTUNATE IT’S JUST
SOMETHING THAT I LOVE AND
SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO DO.
MINIVAN IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY
THINGS THIS SHELTER NEEDS. THE
PASTOR THERE TELLS ME THEY GET
NO FUNDING FROM THE COUNTY
OUTSIDE OF A ONCE A YEAR GRANT,
SO THEY’RE ALWAYS FUNDRAISING.
IF YOU’D LIKE TO HELP. I’VE

JASON. BY THE WAY, THAT COUNCIL
