MORNING TO PICK UP THE KIDS THAT
NEED TO GET TO SCHOOL. SHAWN LEY
LOCAL 4. OH THAT IS SO
TROUBLING. THANK YOU. SEAN WE
ARE GETTING A BREAK THIS WEEKEND
FROM WALL STREET. BUT IT COULD
BE WORRISOME COME MONDAY
MORNING, ESPECIALLY AFTER A
ROUGH FRIDAY FOR THE MARKETS.
THE DOW WAS DOWN 1000 POINTS AT
THE CLOSE. THE S AND P FELL MORE
THAN 3% ITS BIGGEST DROP IN TWO
MONTHS. STOCKS PLUMMETED FRIDAY
AFTER A SPEECH BY THE FEDERAL
RESERVE CHAIRMAN JEROME POWELL.
HE SAID THE FED WILL LIKELY HIKE
INTEREST RATES AGAIN IN THE
COMING MONTHS AS IT TRIES TO
TAME THE HIGHEST INFLATION RATE
IN FOUR DECADES. TIME NOW IS 604
, MICHIGAN STATE POLICE PAUSING
THE PROCESSING OF BLOOD TESTS
FOR MARIJUANA USE BECAUSE OF A
PROBLEM WITH THE TESTING METHOD
. THE MSP FORENSIC SCIENCE
DIVISION NOTIFIED PROSECUTORS OF
THE STOPPAGE ON FRIDAY. THE
REASON THE TESTS CAN’T PROPERLY
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THC, WHICH
IS THE PSYCHOACTIVE COMPOUND IN
MARIJUANA AND CBD, WHICH IS NOT
A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. SO FAR,
IT’S NOT YET KNOWN HOW MANY PAST
AND CURRENT CRIMINAL CASES MAY
BE AFFECTED BY THIS, BUT WAYNE
COUNTY PROSECUTOR KIM WORTHY
SAYS SHE’S ALREADY EDDIE,
NOTIFYING ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES
OF THE ISSUE. THE HEAVILY
REDACTED COPY OF THE FBI’S MARA
LAGO SEARCH AFFIDAVIT WENT
PUBLIC FRIDAY. IT DESCRIBES WHAT
AGENTS WERE AFTER. BUT NOT WHO
NBC’S PETER ALEXANDER HAS
DETAILS ON WHAT WE’VE LEARNED
AND WHAT WE HAVEN’T THREE WEEKS
AFTER THAT UNPRECEDENTED FBI
SEARCH OF FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S MAR A LAGO HOME NEW
DETAILS WHY THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT PUSHED TO MAKE THAT
CONTROVERSIAL MOVE. THE 38 PAGE
AFFIDAVIT FOCUSES ON WHAT THE
FBI SAYS IT FOUND IN 15 BOXES.
MR TRUMP RETURNED TO THE
NATIONAL ARCHIVES IN JANUARY,
MIXED IN WITH NEWSPAPERS,
MAGAZINES AND PRESIDENTIAL
CORRESPONDENCE WERE 184
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. 67 OF THEM
MARKED CONFIDENTIAL 92 MARKED
SECRET AND 25 DOCUMENTS MARKED
TOP SECRET WHERE THE GOVERNMENT
SAYS THEY’RE UNAUTHORIZED
DISCLOSURE COULD RESULT IN
EXCEPTIONALLY GRAVE DAMAGE TO
THE NATIONAL SECURITY ALSO
DISCOVERED DOCUMENTS THAT
CONTAINED INFORMATION ABOUT
CLANDESTINE HUMAN SOURCES AND MR
TRUMP’S HANDWRITTEN NOTES. THE
AFFIDAVIT REVEALS MORE ABOUT THE
TIMELINE IN MAY OF LAST YEAR.
THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES FIRST
REQUESTED THE MISSING RECORDS
FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN
JANUARY. MR TRUMP TURNED OVER
THOSE 15 BOXES CONTAINING THAT
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. A MONTH
LATER, THE ARCHIVES SENT A
CRIMINAL REFERRAL TO THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT. PRESIDENT BIDEN
AUTHORIZED THE ARCHIVES TO
REJECT ANY EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE
CLAIMS BY MR TRUMP OVER THE
DOCUMENTS ALLOWING THE FBI TO
EXAMINE THEM. IN JUNE, MR TRUMP
TURNED OVER ADDITIONAL DOCTOR.
EVENTS. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SUBMITTED
THAT AFFIDAVIT THAT A FEDERAL
JUDGE APPROVED GRANTING THE MAR
A LAGO SEARCH IN ITS FILING. THE
FBI ARGUE THERE’S PROBABLE CAUSE
THAT MORE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
WITH NATIONAL DEFENSE
INFORMATION WERE AT MR TRUMP’S
RESIDENTS, AND THERE WAS
PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT
EVIDENCE OF OBSTRUCTION WILL BE
FOUND. BUT THE AFFIDAVIT WITH
ENTIRE PAGES BLACKED OUT LEAVES
MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE EXTRAORDINARY SEARCH OF THE
FORMER PRESIDENT’S HOME THAT
SPARKED FIERCE BLOWBACK FROM
REPUBLICANS AND MR TRUMP, WHO
SAID THE JUDGE SHOULD NEVER HAVE
ALLOWED THE BREAK IN OF MY HOME
AND SLAMMED THE REDACTED
AFFIDAVIT IS A PUBLIC RELATIONS
SUBTERFUGE BY THE FBI AND DOJ
AFTER ARGUING HE’D BEEN TURNING
OVER DOCUMENTS AND THAT THE
INVESTIGATION IS POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED. MR. TRUMP HAD
DEMANDED THE ENTIRE AFFIDAVIT BE
MADE PUBLIC FOR THE JUDGE
ALLOWED THE JOB. JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SUBSTANTIAL
REDACTIONS TO PROTECT ITS
INVESTIGATION, INCLUDING ANY
DETAILS ABOUT WITNESSES. THAT
WAS PETER ALEXANDER FOR US THIS
MORNING. IN ADDITION, THE
AFFIDAVIT INCLUDES A FOOTNOTE
FROM THE FBI AGENT WHO WROTE IT
, OBSERVING THAT ONE OF THE LAWS
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN VIOLATED
DOESN’T EVEN USE THE TERM
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION BUT
INSTEAD CRIMINALIZES THE
UNLAWFUL RETENTION OF NATIONAL
DEFENSE INFORMATION. TIME NOW IS
SIX. OH, EIGHT AND A SLIGHT SNAG
IN THE REPAIRS FOR THAT BROKEN
WATER MAIN THAT SPARKED A DAYS
LONG BOIL ORDER IMPACTING
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF METRO
DETROITERS, THE SEGMENT OF
REPLACEMENT PIPE THAT WAS JUST
DELIVERED ON THURSDAY, IS HEADED
BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE
GREAT LAKES WATER AUTHORITY SAYS
IT DID NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS
THAT, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE
REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL LIKELY
ARRIVE TOMORROW. CREWS AREN’T
SURE WHAT THIS WILL DO TO THE
REPAIR TIMELINE, THOUGH THE BOIL
WATER ADVISORY IS NO LONGER IN
PLACE. THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED
REOPENING OF THE GIANT SLIDE ON
BELLE ISLE BROUGHT UP THE CROWDS
AND YOU YESTERDAY I CAN TELL
FROM THE TWINKLE IN YOUR EYE
SNEAKERS RETURNED TO THIS SLIDE
, WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS TO
SLOW THINGS DOWN A BIT AFTER
BUMPS OF A YOU KNOW A FEW PEOPLE
TAKING SOME THUMPS AS THEY WENT
DOWN THE D. N R WAS ON HAND TO
GIVE THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS TO
ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE WITH
FEWER SCRAPES AND BRUISES. BUT,
YOU KNOW, WE DID HEAR SOME
PRETTY LOUD BUMPS OUT THERE.
JUST FOLLOW THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS. WE GIVE IT A
SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE WAY
YOU LEAN FORWARD AND YOU HOLD
ONTO THE BAG. THAT’S REALLY ALL
YOU GOTTA DO. IT WAS TERRIFYING
. BUT IT WAS AWESOME. I HEARD
SOME GROANS. THERE WAS SOME
GROANS. THERE WERE SOME. THERE
ARE SOME POPS AND SNAPS IN THE
BODY, TOO. BUT IT WAS VERY FUN.
YEAH. HE LOVED IT, BUT HIS
FRIEND WENT SUPER SLOW FOR SOME
REASON. HE COMES LIKE THUMPING
DOWN AND WE ALL WATCHED HIS
FRIEND TAKE THE MOST SCENIC
ROUTE EVER. THEY SAY, LEAN
FORWARD AND THEN ANYBODY WHO IS
IN THE AIR IS NOT DOING THAT.
TOTALLY EXACTLY. THE SLIDE IS
OPEN. 11 AM TO THREE PM FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY THROUGH LABOR
DAY. WE DID HAVE SOME FOLKS
COMING IN AFTER THREE WHO WANTED
TO WRITE IT, SO MAKE SURE YOU
GET THERE BEFORE THREE O’CLOCK
AND ALSO SCHEDULE YOUR
CHIROPRACTOR APPOINTMENTS FOR
THE HOURS OR DAYS AFTER YOU
SLIDE. I THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE
IT LIKE A DAY. JUST SEE YOU KNOW
HOW YOUR BODY’S REACTING YOU’RE
RIGHT WAS PRETTY GOOD. IT WAS A
LITTLE AIRBORNE IN THE END,
LITTLE BIT. YEAH BUT I SWEAR
LIKE WHEN I GOT UP, I WAS LIKE,
AM I OKAY? HOWARD OKAY, JUST AS
YOU LAID THERE AT THE END AND
LONG DAY AND THEN I WAS ALONE AT
THAT POINT. I WAS LIKE, I’M JUST
GONNA SOAK THIS IN YOU KNOW, BUT
IT WAS A PERFECT DAY OUT THERE
BEING ILL. IT WASN’T TOO HOT
BECAUSE THE THING THAT YOU WORRY
ABOUT TOO. IS THAT LIKE IF IT’S
TOO HIGH, YOU’RE PRAYING BRIAN
TO CATCH SOME AIR YESTERDAY. I
WAS THE DAY TO CATCH SOME OF
THAT AIR AT THE BELT. THAT IS
THE STORY THAT KEEPS ON KISSING
WITH THAT BELT. I’LL SLIDE. I
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. IF YOU ARE
GOING TO BE HEADING OUTSIDE TO
GET SOME OF THAT AIR TODAY ON
THE SLIDE OR DOING ANYTHING,
IT’S GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC DAY
ACROSS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. LOTS OF
SUNSHINE ON THE WAY WITH WARM
TEMPERATURES, BUT WE DO HAVE
SOME RAIN IN THE FORECAST AS
WELL. OUR DETAIL ABOUT WHAT YOU
CAN EXPECT IN YOUR COMPLETE
FOREWARN FORECAST THAT’S COMING
UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. HOW DO
YOU FEEL IN TERMS OF YOUR
