BEEN A NICE DAY TEMPERATURES

KIM DR. ANTHONY FAUCI BECAME A
HOUSEHOLD NAME IN THE EARLY DAYS
OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC AND
THEN THE SUBJECT OF PARTISAN
ATTACKS AND ANGER. TODAY HE MADE
IT OFFICIAL. HE IS READY TO
LEAVE HIS GOVERNMENT POSITIONS,
BUT IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE HE’S
RETIRING. KIMBERLY GAIL IS
TRACKING THIS STORY FOR US FROM
THE NEWSROOM. KAREN. YEAH GOOD
AFTERNOON TO YOU. DR. FAUCI DID
NOT SAY HE’S RETIRING. IN FACT,
IT SOUNDS LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING IN THE WORKS, BUT IT’S
DEFINITELY TIME. FOR A CHANGE
RIGHT NOW. THE DOCTOR IS THE
DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL
INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND
INFECTIOUS DISEASES, AND HE IS
ALSO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S CHIEF
MEDICAL ADVISOR SPENT MORE THAN
FIVE DECADES IN GOVERNMENT
SERVICE. HE HELPED WITH THE
FIRST RESPONSE TO HIV AND HAS
BEEN A KEY PLAYER IN THE COVID
19 PANDEMIC. FOR THE PAST TWO
YEARS. HE RELEASED A STATEMENT
SAYING HE WILL BE LEAVING BOTH
HIS CURRENT ROLES IN DECEMBER,
CALLING THEM THE HONOR OF A
LIFETIME. HE ALSO SAYS HE IS
LEAVING TO PURSUE THE NEXT
CHAPTER OF HIS CAREER. NOW IT’S
NOT CLEAR WHAT THAT MEANS. BUT
FAUCI SAYS HE WANTS TO KEEP
ADVANCING SCIENCE AND PUBLIC
HEALTH WHILE MENTORING THE NEXT
GENERATION OF SCIENTIFIC
LEADERS. NOW. TODAY PRESIDENT
BIDEN RELEASED A STATEMENT ABOUT
FAUCI’S DEPARTURE, SAYING, IN
PART WHETHER YOU’VE MET HIM
PERSONALLY OR NOT, HIS TOUCHED
ALL AMERICANS LIVES WITH HIS
WORK. SO RIGHT NOW, FAUCI IS 81
YEARS OF AGE. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE
WHAT THIS NEXT CHAPTER IS ALL
ABOUT. BUT FOR NOW, KAREN WILL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU. ALRIGHT, WE
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, KIM.
WELL THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS
THREE MORE DAYS TO TURN OVER A
REDACTED VERSION OF THE
AFFIDAVIT USED TO JUSTIFY A
SEARCH OF FORMER PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP’S FLORIDA HOME. THE
JUDGES MAKING, HOPING TO MAKE
PARTS OF THAT AFFIDAVIT PUBLIC.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS
ARGUED TOO MUCH OF THE
INFORMATION IS TOO SENSITIVE TO
MAKE IT WORTHWHILE, AND IT
SHOULD STAY SEALED. FOR NOW. THE
JUDGE WANTS TO SEE THE CHANGES
BY THURSDAY. MORE NEGOTIATIONS
WILL LIKELY FOLLOW. FBI SEES 11
SETS OF DOCUMENTS THAT CALLS
CLASSIFIED TWO WEEKS AGO NOW ALL
RIGHT. THERE’S SOMETHING REALLY
COLORFUL GOING ON AT AN ALL
GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL MERCY HIGH
OVER IN FARMINGTON HILLS SENIORS
GETTING READY TO EMBARK ON THAT
NEXT IMPORTANT PHASE OF THEIR
LIVES ARE FIRST DOING SOMETHING
PRETTY COOL. JASON COLTHORPE HAS
THEIR STORY. OH, NO. SOMEBODY
HAS VANDALIZED THIS HIGH SCHOOL
, ACTUALLY NOT. BUT WHAT YOU’RE
SEEING HERE AT THE PARKING LOT
OF MERCY HIGH SCHOOL IS
SOMETHING HAPPENING IN PARKING
LOTS OF HIGH SCHOOLS ALL AROUND
MICHIGAN RIGHT NOW. THE SMELL OF
PAINT STILL LINGERS ON THE AIR
HERE IN THE MERCY HIGH SCHOOL
PARKING LOT. THERE’S SOME TAPE
THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE REMOVED,
AND SOME OF THE EVIDENCE HAS
BEEN LEFT BEHIND. BUT THIS IS NO
SENIOR PRANK. IT’S A SENIOR
PRIVILEGE. PARKING SPACES AT
MERCY HAS ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF A
SENIOR YEAR TRADITION. NATALIE
MURPHY IS A SENIOR AT MERCY WHO
HAS BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO
PENDING HER PARKING SPOT FOR
QUITE SOME TIME. SINCE I WAS A
FRESHMAN. I MEAN, I THINK LIKE
WHEN I CAME INTO MERCY FOR THE
FIRST TIME, I SAW ALL THE
DIFFERENT PARKING SPACES AND I
WAS LIKE, THIS IS AWESOME. AND
SO NOW I’M FINALLY A SENIOR AND
FINALLY ABLE TO DO THIS AFTER
COVID, SO I’M REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT IT. PARKING SPOTS IS
NOTHING NEW. HERE IS WHAT MY
DAUGHTERS DID WHEN THEY WERE
SENIORS, BUT THE LEVEL OF
ARTISTRY AND CREATIVITY OF THE
SPACES AT MERCY IS SOMETHING TO
BE NOTED. I LOVE ALL THE COLORS
AND BEING ABLE TO COME IN WHEN
IT’S MAYBE, LIKE A COLD MORNING
AND SEEING SOMETHING THAT YOU
DID EARLIER IN THE SUMMER. IT’S
JUST REALLY POSITIVE AND HAPPY.
INSPIRATION COMES FROM ALL OVER
MOVIES AND TV SHOWS, BOARD GAMES
, FUNNY SAYINGS OR NATALEE’S
CASE, SOMETHING SHE SAW ON
PINTEREST. NO MATTER THE
CREATIVE SPARK OR THE TALENT OF
THE ARTIST. THIS WAS ABOUT THE
YOUNG WOMEN OF MERCY BEING ABLE
TO BOND BEFORE THEIR FINAL YEAR.
YEAH IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. WE HAD
LIKE MUSIC AND DONUTS, AND IT
WAS JUST IT WAS REALLY GOOD TO
START OFF THIS IN YOUR YEAR LIKE
THAT. THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY ONE
OF MY FAVORITES. BECAUSE KAREN,
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING
YOU WOULD DO. I FAILED ART. YET
SHE CREATED A PARKING SPOT
MASTERPIECE SO MANY OF THESE ARE
REALLY MASTERPIECE IS ONE OF THE
PERPS OF BEING A SENIOR, RIGHT.
WE’RE IN FARMINGTON HILLS TODAY.
JASON COLTHORPE LOCAL 4 THAT IS
SO COOL. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
JASON HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME
EMPTY SPOTS ARE STILL TAPED OFF
, AND THAT’S BECAUSE STUDENTS
ARE ABLE TO PAINT THEIR SPOTS
