HERE’S WHAT THE DETAILS OF YOU

TODAY STARTING AT 1:00 THIS
AFTERNOON.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER, TOO. IT’S
GOING TO BE A LITTLE WARM TODAY.
SO WATER BOTTLES AND LARGE
UMBRELLAS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE
RAIN IN THE FORECAST TOMORROW,
ARE PROHIBITED DOWN HERE IN HART
PLAZA. SO ESPECIALLY TOMORROW
WITH THAT RAIN IN THE FORECAST,
YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE RAIN GEAR
YOU CAN CARRY IN WITH YOU THAT

>> WE’RE GOING TO TALK MORE
ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MOTOR CITY
PRIDE, MORE OF THE EVENTS THAT
ARE GOING TO BE GOING ON,
ENTERTAINMENT ACTS AS WE GO
THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE
MORNING. REPORTING LIVE FROM
HART PLAZA, I’M BRIAN SHERMAN,
LOCAL 4 PRIYA AND VICTOR, BACK
TO YOU.
>> OH, BRIAN, IT’S GOING TO BE
SUCH A GREAT WEEKEND.
CELEBRATING PRIDE AT HART PLAZA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, A
SWIFTIES RUSH TO FORD FIELD THIS
WEEKEND. ONE GROUP IS
DISAPPOINTED AFTER FALLING FOR A
TAYLOR SWIFT TICKET SCAM.
>> YEAH, THIS ONE’S REALLY SAD.
LISA TURNER COULDN’T FIND
TICKETS FOR HER DAUGHTER, THE
FIRST TIME AROUND, SO SHE
DECIDED TO TAKE HER SEARCH TO
THE INTERNET. AND THAT’S WHEN
SHE FOUND A PERSON SELLING THEM
ON CRAIGSLIST. THE SELLER SENT
TICKETS TO HER APPLE WALLET FOR
ABOUT $1,200 FOR FOUR TICKETS.
BUT THOSE TICKETS WERE FAKE.
>> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I’VE
NEVER BEEN ABLE HAD A SPIDEY
SENSE YESTERDAY AND DROVE DOWN
TO FORD FIELD WITH THE TICKETS
AND TOOK THEM INTO THE BOX
OFFICE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY WERE OKAY AND THEY ACTUALLY
TOOK THE PHONE BACK, HAD TO LIKE
LOOK IT UP ON THEIR COMPUTER
SYSTEM, BROUGHT SUPERVISORS IN
AND SAID THAT THEY WERE SOME OF
THE BEST TICKETS THEY HAD EVER
SEEN, BUT THAT THEY WERE FAKE.
AND AT THIS TIME, THE MOM HAS
FILED A POLICE REPORT AND A
CLAIM WITH VENMO, AS WELL AS HER
BANK.
>> WE ARE HOPING SHE GETS THAT
MONEY BACK.
>> YEAH, THAT IS A TOUGH LESSON,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE HOW
EXCITED THEY WERE. I KNOW WHEN
THEY THOUGHT THEY GOT THE
TICKETS AND THEN HOW
DISAPPOINTED THEY WERE. SO GREAT
ADVICE THERE. AND HOPEFULLY
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE
BIT MORE CAREFUL WHEN THEY’RE
SHOPPING ONLINE. SWITCHING
GEARS, BRANDON, IT IS GOING TO
BE A GORGEOUS WEEKEND. HOT. WE
NEED SOME RAIN, BUT IT WILL
STILL BE A VERY PLEASANT DAY AND
WE’RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT
OF EVERYTHING.
>> WE’RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE
OF THAT RAIN. NOT TODAY,
SWIFTIES OR ANYBODY HEADING DOWN
TO HART PLAZA. WHATEVER YOU HAVE
PLANNED TODAY, YOU’RE GOOD TO
GO. WE HAVE TEMPERATURES IN THE
LOW TO MIDDLE 50S OUT THERE. YOU
CAN SEE VERY LIGHT WINDS, CALM
CONDITIONS. THE DETROIT RIVER
LOOKS PRETTY CALM. IT’S ABOUT
13, 14 CELSIUS OVER IN WINDSOR,
ESSEX, 55 WITH A SOUTHWEST WIND
AT THREE MILES AN HOUR. THAT
WIND WILL PICK UP A LITTLE BIT
AND IT WILL HELP TO USHER THIS
HAZE. AND THE LAST BITS OF THIS
SMOKE OUT OF HERE, NO AIR
QUALITY ALERTS AND NO FOG TO
WORRY ABOUT REALLY, WHAT WE’RE
GETTING ARE JUST SOME CLOUDS IS
NORMAL CLOUDS. AGAIN, WITH THIS
WEST TO EAST FLOW, A LOT OF THAT
ONTARIO AND QUEBEC SMOKE IS
MOVING FARTHER EAST. SO LOOKING
PRETTY GOOD FOR A POOL DAY,
MAYBE A BEACH DAY 10 A.M, WHERE
70 TO 80 DEGREES BY 1 P.M. A FEW
MORE AFTERNOON CLOUDS, 85 AND
SOME SUNDAY RAIN AHEAD, GUYS.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, BRANDON
.
>> YEAH, A 22 YEAR OLD DETROIT
MAN IS CHARGED WITH MULTIPLE
FELONIES FOR ALLEGEDLY FIRING
SHOTS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWDED
HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT IN
WARREN. PROSECUTORS SAY THAT
JORDAN BARRY THOMAS IS THE MAN
IN THE VIDEO SHOOTING INTO THE
AIR AS SCHOOL WAS BEING LET OUT
ON MONDAY AT MICHIGAN COLLEGIATE
HIGH SCHOOL.
>> AND WARREN, POLICE SAY THEY
TRACKED HIM DOWN AT HIS JOB IN
FARMINGTON HILLS TO MAKE THE
ARREST. POLICE SAY THERE WAS A
DISPUTE AT THE SCHOOL EARLIER IN
THE DAY AND THOMAS RETURNED
LATER WITH SOME OF THE STUDENTS
INVOLVED. HE’S BEING HELD ON
HALF $1 MILLION BOND. FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS NOW
FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES AND
REACTION TO THE CHARGES HAVE
BEEN VERY SWIFT. MR. TRUMP’S
REPUBLICAN ALLIES AND EVEN HIS
CAMPAIGN RIVALS RUSHING TO HIS
DEFENSE. GARRETT HAKE REPORTS
FROM NEAR DONALD TRUMP’S ESTATE
IN BEDMINSTER, NEW JERSEY, AN
HISTORIC SHAKEUP IN THE RACE FOR
THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> THE REPUBLICAN FRONT RUNNER,
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, FACING
FEDERAL CRIMINAL CHARGES. HIS
AND NOW MR. TRUMP GETTING BACK
UP FROM SOME OF HIS REPUBLICAN
RIVALS. HIS TOP OPPONENT,
FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS,
WRITING, QUOTE, THE
WEAPONIZATION OF FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT REPRESENTS A MORTAL
THREAT TO A FREE SOCIETY AND HIS
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT, MIKE
PENCE, URGING PUBLIC PATIENCE,
BUT BLASTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE, CALLING IT A SAD DAY IN
AMERICA. THE DAY AFTER A FORMER
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
FACES AN UNPRECEDENTED
INDICTMENT BY A JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT RUN BY THE CURRENT
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND A POLITICAL RIVAL. AND THIS
FROM GOP CANDIDATE TIM SCOTT.
>> WHAT WE’VE SEEN OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS IS THE
WEAPONIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE AGAINST THE FORMER
PRESIDENT AND HOUSE SPEAKER
KEVIN MCCARTHY.
>> IT GOES TO THE CORE OF EQUAL
JUSTICE FOR ALL, WHICH IS NOT
BEING SEEN TODAY. AND WE ARE NOT
GOING TO STAND FOR IT.
>> FEW IN THE GOP CRITICIZING
MR. TRUMP, THOUGH FIERCE TRUMP
CRITIC CHRIS CHRISTIE WRITING NO
ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. MR. TRUMP,
WHO WAS SEEN ON THE GOLF COURSE,
HAS POLITICALLY SURVIVED
MULTIPLE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
AND BEING IMPEACHED AND
ACQUITTED TWICE AND HAS BEEN
BRACING FOR THIS MOMENT, WHICH
WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY DERAIL
MOST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS. BUT
NOW FUNDRAISING OFF THE
INDICTMENT AFTER SEEING
DONATIONS SURGE FOLLOWING HIS
INDICTMENT IN A MANHATTAN COURT
TWO MONTHS AGO, EVEN SELLING T
SHIRTS PRINTED WITH THE
INDICTMENT DATE A PRO-TRUMP
POLITICAL GROUP RELEASING THIS
NEW AD STAND WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP. MANY REPUBLICANS SLAMMING
WHAT THEY CALL A TWO TIER
JUSTICE SYSTEM, POINTING TO THE
ONGOING FEDERAL CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION OF PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S SON, HUNTER, AND THE
SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION OF
MR. BIDEN’S OWN HANDLING OF
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, WITH SOME
FOUND IN HIS DELAWARE HOME AND
GARAGE. THOUGH BIDEN ATTORNEYS
HAVE COOPERATED WITH
INVESTIGATORS, THE PRESIDENT WAS
ASKED ABOUT THE INDICTMENT OF
HIS TOP GOP CHALLENGER. I HAVE
NO COMMENT.
>> AND AN IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR
ANYONE HEADING UP NORTH OR TO
NORTHERN OAKLAND COUNTY THIS
WEEKEND, A BIG STRETCH OF I-70
FIVE IS CLOSING BOTH DIRECTIONS
OF I-70.
>> FIVE ARE CLOSED FROM THE
DIXIE HIGHWAY TO SAGINAW. ROADS
STRUCTURE. THE CLOSURE STARTS IN
SPRING FIELD TOWNSHIP NEAR
CLARKSTON AND GOES INTO OAKLAND
COUNTY. GENESEE COUNTY BORDER
CREWS WILL BE DEMOLISHING THE
DAVISBURG ROAD BRIDGE OVER I-70
85, SO THE FREEWAY SHOULD REOPEN
