SEVERITY COURT BACK HERE LIVE.
TODD PERKINS IS THE ATTORNEY FOR

HER ATTORNEY SAYS NO, SHE WILL
NOT BE RESIGNING. MOVING FORWARD
NOW, AFTER GETTING PROBATION,
JASON BACK TO YOU. SEAN THANKS
SO MUCH FOR THAT REPORT. DETROIT
POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A
DOUBLE SHOOTING ON THE CITY’S
WEST SIDE. WE’RE TOLD A MAN AND
WOMAN WERE BOTH SHOT AND APPLE
INDER THE LODGE FROM RIGHT NOW
THE WOMAN IS IN CRITICAL
CONDITION AND THE MAN IS STABLE
. PLEASE SAY THEY HAVE ONE
PERSON IN CUSTODY. TIME NOW TO
GET A CHECK ON THE WEATHER. AND
FOR THAT, BRANDO WE ARE SEEING
SOME WELL HANG ABOUT RAIN,
RIGHT? IT’S THE LITTLE RAIN THAT
COULD KIND OF THING. IT JUST
WON’T SEEM TO STOP AS WE TAKE A
LIVE. LOOK I’M GOING TO BACK UP
AND GIVE YOU SOME TEMPERATURES
HERE. IT’S IN THE FORTIES TO
FIFTIES WHERE WE HAVE BEEN STUCK
ALL DAY A AND IT IS ONLY A FEW
DEGREES COOLER THAN WE WERE THIS
TIME YESTERDAY. WE’VE GOT THESE
NORTHEAST WINDS. TRYING TO DRIVE
THE RAIN AWAY AND DR DRYER INTO
THE RAIN, BUT IT ALSO FEELS A
LITTLE BIT COOLER BACK TO STORM
TRACKER 4 LIGHT. DARK GREEN IS
STILL JUST LIGHT MODERATE RAIN.
AS WE LOOK A LITTLE FARTHER. OUT
YOU SEE THE CUT OFF LINE SOUTH
OF I 69 IS WHERE THE RAIN IS. SO
OUR NORTH ZONE IS DRIER AND WILL
BE THROUGH THE DAY SO SHOWERS
AROUND FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS. BUT THEN WE GET INTO SOME
DRY SLOTS AND ATTEMPTS INTO THE
LOWER SIXTIES JASON
UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THE RAIN AND
CLOUDS, IT’S AS GOOD AS IT GETS,
BUT MUCH BETTER FOR MOM’S THIS
WEEKEND. ADVOCATES ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE ABORTION DEBATES ARE
GRAPPLING. WHAT’S NEXT,
GRAPPLING WITH WHAT’S NEXT? IF
THE SUPREME COURT EVENTUALLY
DOES OVERTURN ROE V. WADE NBC’S
MORGAN CHESKY HAS THE LATEST
FROM TEXAS, A STATE THAT’S
ALREADY HOME TO ONE OF THE
NATION’S MOST RESTRICTIVE
ABORTION LAWS. CHIEF JUSTICE
JOHN ROBERTS, SPEAKING OUT ABOUT
THAT DRAFT OPINION, BLASTING THE
UNPRECEDENTED LEAK AS QUOTE
ABSOLUTELY APPALLING, ACCORDING
TO THE WASHINGTON POST AND
VOWING IT WILL NOT AFFECT THE
COURTS WORK. BUT ACROSS THE
COUNTRY STATES AND ACTIVISTS ON
BOTH SIDES ARE GETTING READY.
TEXAS IS AT THE EPICENTER OF THE
ABORTION RIGHTS DEBATE. IT’S ONE
OF 13 STATES WITH SO CALLED
TRIGGER LAWS. THAT WOULD BE AN
ABORTION WITH EXCEPTIONS FOR THE
HEALTH OF THE MOTHER IF ROE IS
OVERTURNED, DEMOCRAT BETO
O’ROURKE, LOOKING TO UNSEAT
REPUBLICAN GREG ABBOTT IS TEXAS
GOVERNOR IS SEIZING ON THE LAW
ABBOTT SIGNED LAST YEAR. THIS IS
NOT ABOUT LIFE. THIS IS ABOUT
CONTROL. THIS IS ABOUT POWER.
IT’S ABOUT CONTROLLING THE LIVES
OF THE WOMEN OF TEXAS AND TAKING
POWER AWAY FROM THEM. ABBOTT’S
FOCUSING ON THE LEAKED DRAFT
SUPREME COURT OPINION ITSELF,
URGING THE COURT TO ISSUE IT
WITHOUT DELAY. I THINK THE
MAJORITY OPINION IN THIS CASE
MUST BE ISSUED THIS WEEK TO SHOW
THAT THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED.
LOUISIANA ALSO WOULD OUTLAW
ABORTION IF ROE IS OVERTURNED
AND IT’S LEGISLATOR IS GOING
FURTHER ADVANCING A BILL THAT
WOULD CRIMINALIZE THE PROCEDURE.
MEANING ABORTION PROVIDERS AND
MOTHERS COULD BE CHARGED WITH
HOMICIDE. BRADLEY PIERCE HELPED
WRITE THE BILL. WE BELIEVE THAT,
UH, YOU KNOW, ABORTION IS CRUEL,
AND IT’S THE TAKING OF AN
INNOCENT LIFE AND THAT’S WE
SHOULD MAKE THAT ILLEGAL AND
THERE SHOULDN’T BE SOME
EXCEPTION FOR MOTHERS,
CONNECTICUT’S GOVERNOR, SIGNING
A SWEEPING BILL INTO LAW
OFFERING EXPANDED ACCESS TO
ABORTION AND NEW PROTECTIONS TO
PROVIDERS AND PATIENTS.
INCLUDING THOSE FROM OUT OF
STATE FIRST LADY JILL BIDEN IN
AN INTERVIEW AIRING THIS WEEKEND
ON MSNBC, URGING ABORTION RIGHTS
ADVOCATES TO STEP UP EFFORTS IN
THEIR STATES. THE ELECTION OF
THE PRESIDENT MATTERS BECAUSE
HE’S THE ONE WHO PUTS THE
JUSTICES ON THE COURT. OUR STATE
LEGISLATORS ARE GOING TO MATTER
, TOO, SO PEOPLE HAVE TO GET
INVOLVED. ORGAN CHESKY NBC NEWS.
TODAY, HOPING FOR A REBOUND
AFTER A DISASTROUS THURSDAY HERE
GETTING A LIVE LOOK RIGHT NOW AT
THE BIG BOARD IN NEW YORK STILL
IN RED NUMBERS DOWN ABOUT 150
POINTS. THIS COMES AS THE MARKET
SEES ITS WORST DAY OF TRADING
SINCE 2020 YESTERDAY, RISING
INFLATION AND PROPOSED HIGHER
INTEREST RATES FUELED THE POOR
PERFORMANCE. WE WILL BE
CONTINUING TO WATCH THE MARKET
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE FDA SAYS
IT’S PUTTING STRICT LIMITS ON
THE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON COVID 19
VACCINE. US REGULATORS SAY THAT
J AND J JAB SHOULD ONLY BE GIVEN
TO ADULTS WHO CAN’T GET ONE OF
THE OTHER ONES. THE FDA SAYS
IT’S RESTRICTING THE VACCINE
BECAUSE REGULATORS TOOK ANOTHER
LOOK AT DATA ON THE RISK OF LIFE
THREATENING BLOOD CLOTS. FOR
MONTHS, REGULATORS HAVE BEEN
RECOMMENDING PEOPLE GET THE
