DETROIT FOUR NEWS AT SIX STARTS NOW. UNLESS THAN 24 HOURS. A MOSQUE WILL OPEN IN TROY, BUT
IT’S STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A
MASSIVE LEGAL BATTLE. AT FIRST,
THERE WAS A FIGHT BETWEEN THE
MOSQUE AND THE CITY OF TROY OVER
WHETHER THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP
COULD EVEN OPEN. NOW THERE’S A
FIGHT OVER THE MONEY OWED TO THE
MOSQUE GRANT HERMES IN TROY
TONIGHT ON ROCHESTER ROAD NEAR
WADDLES AND GRANT. THIS HAS BEEN
YEARS OF FIGHTING OVER THIS.
KAREN. IT STARTED BACK IN 2018,
AND WE’RE TALKING ALMOST FIVE
YEARS, ACTUALLY, AT THIS POINT
WHEN THE COMMUNITY LEADERS HERE
BOUGHT THIS BUILDING FOR THE
MOSQUE AND COMMUNITY CENTER
DOORS OPEN TOMORROW, BUT THIS
LEGAL FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER.
BACK IN MARCH OF FEDERAL JUDGE
ORDERING THE CITY OF TROY AND
THE LEADERS OF THE ADAM
COMMUNITY CENTER TO COME TO AN
AGREEMENT AFTER THE CITY ZONING
LAWS WERE FOUND TO BE IN
VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND THE
MOSQUE SUING FOR DAMAGES, SAYING
THE ZONING LAW COST THE MOSQUE
FUNDING THE CITY OF TROY HAS
ACTED EGREGIOUSLY SINCE 2018
WITH REGARDS TO THIS THIS CASE
COUNCIL ON AMERICAN ISLAMIC
RELATIONS MICHIGAN IS
REPRESENTING THE MOSQUE. THE
MONEY THAT WE’RE ASKING FOR IS
NOT EXCESSIVE. IT’S VERY MUCH IN
LINE WITH SETTLEMENTS THAT ARE
VERY RECENT FOR THE SAME ISSUES
IN OTHER CITIES IN THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN. WE’RE ALSO ASKING FOR
ACTUAL DAMAGES IN ALL THE
COMMUNITY CENTER IS ASKING FOR
$1.9 MILLION, CITING THOSE OTHER
CASES IN STERLING HEIGHTS AND
PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP, WHERE
SETTLEMENTS WERE REACHED FOR 1.5
AND $1.75 MILLION, BUT TROY
MAYOR ETHAN BAKER SAYS THE CITY
WON’T AGREE IF THE PRICE TAG IS
OVER A MILLION YEARS. CERTAINLY,
WE’RE NOT EVEN CONSIDERING
SETTLEMENTS SO LONG AS THEY’RE
DEMANDING WELL OVER A MILLION
DOLLARS IN DAMAGES. FRANKLY
THERE’S SEVEN OF US ON COUNCIL.
THAT’S NOT JUST ONE OF OUR
DECISIONS TO MAKE. WE HAVE A
DIFFICULTY SHARING WHAT’S
HAPPEN. BRING BEHIND CLOSED
DOORS AND LEGAL SETTLEMENT
DISCUSSIONS AND POSTURING AND
THE OTHER SIDE IS BEEN VERY FREE
WITH WHAT THEY HAVE SAID, AND WE
JUST CAN’T DO THAT WERE
RESTRICTED BY STATUTE ON THE EVE
OF A GRAND OPENING. NO LEGAL
CLOSURE IN SIGHT. DESPITE ALL OF
THIS, THE MAYOR TOLD US HE’S
HAPPY THAT THE MOSQUE IS HERE
AND OPENING AND HE WILL BE HERE
FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING TOMORROW.
BACK TO YOU. GRANT BEFORE YOU
GO. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN COURT?
THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT COULD
HAPPEN HERE. BOTH CARE AND THE
LEADERS OF THE MOSQUE WANT THE
JUDGE IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF
MICHIGAN. THAT’S A FEDERAL JUDGE
IN DETROIT TO ISSUE A SUMMARY
JUDGMENT BASICALLY MAKE A RULING
IN THEIR FAVOR ONCE AND FOR ALL
THAT PARALLEL REQUEST GOING
ALONG WITH THE U. S DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE THAT WANTS THE SAME
THING. THE CITY WANTS THAT JUDGE
TO DISMISS THIS CASE ENTIRELY.
WE’LL BE WAITING BACK TO YOU
LONG PROCESS. WE’LL SEE HOW IT
TURNS OUT. ALL RIGHT, GRANT. CUE
THE MUSIC. THE AUTO SHOWS
CHARITY PREVIEW IS UPON US AND
THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR AND CARS
AND CHARITY, WHICH IS REALLY THE
MOST IMPORTANT THAT IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT. DE’VEON RONDO LIVE AT
HUNTINGDON PLACE TONIGHT WHERE
THINGS ARE JUST GETTING
UNDERWAY. HEY, GUYS. THAT’S
EXACTLY RIGHT, GUYS. THEY’RE
JUST NOW OPENING THE DOORS AND
FOLKS ARE STARTING TO FILTER IN
HERE AT HUNTINGTON’S PLACE, AND
WHAT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING THIS
YEAR, RHONDA, NO COAT CHECK. NO
CO CHECK YOU GOT YOU’RE ABLE TO
GET IN SO MUCH FASTER. YOU DON’T
HAVE TO WALK IN YOUR HEELS
THROUGH SNOW EXACTLY RIGHT HERE
IN THE FORD EXHIBIT. THERE ARE
PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST STARTING TO
FILE IN RIGHT NOW. SO THINGS ARE
JUST GETTING STARTED. BUT, BOY,
IS IT EXCITING JUST TO BE BACK
AFTER 3.5 YEARS AT THE CHARITY
PREVIEW, HAVING AN AUTO SHOW? SO
IN A REALLY REINVENTED AUTO SHOW
IN SUCH A GREAT WAY FOR PEOPLE
TO GET TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY IS
UNIQUELY DETROIT AND THAT’S IT’S
AUTO CULTURE, BUT IT IS ALSO A
MASSIVELY IMPORTANT NIGHT FOR A
LOT OF CHARITIES THAT HAVE BEEN
SERVED WITH HUNDREDS ABOUT $100
MILLION GOING BACK TO 1976 OVER
$100 MILLION FOR CHILDREN’S
CHARITIES. SPECIFICALLY THIS
YEAR. THERE’S A WONDERFUL LIST
OF CHARITIES, LONGTIME CHARITIES
LIKE DETROIT PAL BOYS AND GIRLS
CLUB, THE CHILDREN’S CENTER.
CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION, OF COURSE
, THE DETROIT AUTO DEALERS
ASSOCIATION. THEY HAVE THEIR
CHARITABLE FUND AND WE CAN’T
FORGET ABOUT C S. MOTT
CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AS WELL, SO
IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG BENEFIT.
TONIGHT. TICKETS ARE KIND OF
EXPENSIVE. THEY ARE DOLLARS, BUT
IT’S ALL FOR A VERY IT’S GOING.
IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER TO
WRITE THE CHECK. I THINK FOR A
LOT OF PEOPLE AND OF COURSE, IT
OPENS TO THE PUBLIC TOMORROW.
ROB MALONEY HAS BEEN GETTING
PEOPLE SET ALL WEEK LONG WITH
WHAT THEY NEED TO SEE AND WHAT’S
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. LET’S GET
OVER TO HIM. ROD ROD. DE’VEON
YOU KNOW YOU GET 1000 DAYS TO
THINK ABOUT SOMETHING WHERE
YOU’VE BEEN WHERE YOU’RE GOING,
AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT’S TIME TO SORT OF REVAMP THE
SHOW, AND THAT’S PRECISELY WHAT
THEY’VE DONE AND YOU’RE GOING TO
SEE A VERY DIFFERENT BUT PERHAPS
MORE FUN SHOW THAN YOU REMEMBER.
ONLY LOCAL 4 CAMERAS CAUGHT
MAYOR DUGGAN CURSING. OH AS HE
GOT THE RIGHT OF HIS LIFE IN THE
F 1 50 LIGHTNING. IT’S PROVIDING
WHAT AMOUNTS TO A ROCKET SLED
RIDE, WHICH IS WHAT HE WAS
REACTING TO, AND ONE YOU, TOO,
CAN ENJOY. IT’S PART OF THE FORD
EXHIBIT, WHERE YOU CAN ALSO SIT
IN THIS BURLY BRONCO SUV. AND
PUT IT THROUGH ITS PACES ON THE
GROUND AND UP A STEEP SLOPE.
THEY HAVE MUCH THE SAME
OPERATION OVER AT CAMP JEEP,
WHERE CEO JIM MORRIS TOLD US
COMING IN SEPTEMBER 80 DEGREES
IS A BIG TIME BONUS. SO A NICE
AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT,
CUSTOMERS CAN DRIVE AROUND THE
DOORS OFF THE TOP OFF. THEY CAN
EXPERIENCE ALL THE JEEP LINEUP
RIGHT BEHIND US. IT IS NOT TO
SAY THAT THEY DON’T HAVE
TRADITIONAL THINGS LIKE, OH, THE
LINCOLN CONCEPT MODEL L 100.
VERY COOL LOOKING ESPECIALLY
REALLY GOOD AT THE CHARITY
PREVIEW THIS BLACK TIE AFFAIR.
THERE IS A FLEET OF MOVIE CARS
LIKE THE GHOSTBUSTERS MOBILE.
BUT THEN THERE’S ALSO A SIX
STORY TALL RUBBER DUCK OUTSIDE
HUNTINGTON’S PLACE AND OVER AT
HART PLAZA. THEY’RE GOING TO
CRUSH OLD BEATERS WITH ELECTRIC
MONSTER TRUCKS. AND THERE ARE
MUCH BIGGER MONSTERS AS WELL,
ESPECIALLY FOR THE KIDS. THERE
ARE DINOSAURS AND NOT JUST A FEW
LITTLE ONES IN THE RIVERFRONT
BALLROOM. THERE’S AN ENTIRE T
REX EXPERIENCE BROUGHT IN BY
MATT FLYNN OF CLARKSTON. PEOPLE
EITHER RUN TO THEM OR RUN FROM
HIM. SO JUST BE FUN FOR THE
WHOLE FAMILY. WELL FUN FOR THE
WHOLE FAMILY IS KEY TO
EVERYTHING. AND OF COURSE, THERE
IS MUCH MORE THAN WE WERE ABLE
TO SHOW YOU THERE. BUT YOU’RE
DEFINITELY GOING TO WANT TO GO
DOWN TO HEART PLAZA BECAUSE
THEY’RE GOING TO BE A LOT GOING
ON THERE EVEN HAVING FOOD TRUCK,
SO THEY’VE GOT THE WHOLE
WATERFRONT COVERED QUITE
LITERALLY. HERE, KEVIN AND RONDO
BACK TO YOU. EXACTLY RIGHT, ROD
. IN FACT, THAT MASSIVE DUCK I
JUST LOVE WALKING IN THROUGH
THAT THE OTHER DAY, BUT ONE OF
THE REASONS ABOUT MOVING THE PSA
SEPTEMBER WAS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF A BEAUTIFUL MICHIGAN LATE
SUMMER. ABSOLUTELY AND ROD
MENTIONED IT. WE HAVE THE HEART
PLAZA TO ENJOY. WE’VE SEEN FOUR
DO SOME THINGS WITH THE MUSTANGS
EARLIER THIS WEEK, AND NOW IT’S
ALL ABOUT BEING OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC. IT’S FREE. DJS FOOD
TRUCKS AND THE WEATHER IS
COMPLYING QUITE NICELY. LET’S
CHECK IN WITH KIM ADAMS WITH
MORE ON THAT, KIM I MEAN, CAN WE
GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS? WE ARE
AT OUR BEST HERE IN DETROIT
THROUGHOUT NOT JUST TONIGHT, BUT
THE WEEKEND IS WELL, WE’VE GOT A
LOT OF SUNSHINE HUMAN FOR THE
WEEKEND, BUT IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL.
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR
DOWNTOWN SKY CAM. THIS IS SO
PRETTY. WE’VE GOT SOME SUNSHINE.
I MEAN, AGAIN. I CANNOT. I CAN’T
EVEN REMEMBER WHEN AN AUTO SHOW
HAD GREAT WEATHER AND NOW THAT
THEY MOVED IT. HOPEFULLY THIS
WILL BE A TREND 81 IN DETROIT,
79 ARMOR AND ADRIAN 81 RIGHT NOW
IN PORT HURON, IF YOU ARE HEADED
DOWN TO THE CHARITY PREVIEW,
IT’S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND
NO COAT NEEDED AT ALL, EVEN FOR
THE PARTIES AFTERWARDS.
TEMPERATURES WILL STAY IN THE
SEVENTIES UPPER SIXTIES BY
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. LET’S TALK
ABOUT THIS WEATHER STORY BECAUSE
IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE ARE GOING
TO SEE A BIG CHANGE IN CHANCE OF
RAIN LATER IN THE WEEKEND,
MAINLY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING, EIGHTIES THROUGH
WEDNEDAY WEDNESDAY AND THEN FALL
OFFICIALLY ARRIVES ON THURSDAY
AND PLOY. IS IT GOING TO FEEL
LIKE THIS IS SORT OF OUR LAST
HURRAH WITH SUMMER LIKE
TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS, AND THEN AFTER
THAT, IT DEFINITELY IS GOING TO
GET MUCH COLDER AROUND HERE.
I’LL TALK ABOUT COMING UP IN THE
FORECAST. YOU GOT IT. ALL RIGHT,
KIM, SO THAT’S IT FOR HERE. NOW
WE’VE GOT A LOT MORE COMING UP
LATER ON. WE DO BE SURE TO JOIN
US FOR OUR CHARITY PREVIEW
SPECIAL FROM RIGHT HERE AT
HUNTINGTON’S PLAYS LIVE RIGHT

ABOUT IT AS WE KIND OF GET THIS
NEW EDITION OF THE AUTO SHOW IN
A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS, ALL

PEOPLE TODAY. WHO HAVE COME HERE
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO PAY
THEIR FINAL RESPECTS TO THE
QUEEN AND HEARING THEIR STORY AS
TO WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THEM
TO BE HERE AT THIS MOMENT AND
HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THIS MOMENT
I HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING A
MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS
TODAY WHO TALKED TO ME ABOUT
WHAT BEING HERE TODAY MEANS TO
HIM. LISTEN COUNTRY FOR WHAT 70
YEARS. IT’S AN AMAZING AMAZING
STORY AND THE VERY LEAST WE CAN
DO IS COME AND RESPECTS, WHICH
IS WHAT WE’VE JUST DONE. IT WAS
VERY, VERY QUIET AND YOU COULD
SEE PEOPLE GESTURING VARYING
CROSSING THEMSELVES, BUT IT WAS
SILENT AND THAT’S THAT’S WHAT IT
SHOULD BE. THAT’S RIGHT. JUST
VERY EMOTIONAL. AS SO MANY
PEOPLE WERE THAT I SPOKE WITH

GREEN PARK AND BUCKINGHAM PALACE
WHERE THE QUEEN CAME. TO REST
ONE FINAL NIGHT. ON WEDNESDAY,
CROWDS POURING OUT TO THE SLIGHT

WHEN THIS WENT FROM A WINDSOR
FAMILY AFFAIR TO THE BUSINESS OF
THE STATE. LET’S TAKE A LOOK
AROUND WHITEHALL. AREA THAT WILL
BE SEEING A LOT OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS AS WE ZOOM INTO
BUCKINGHAM PALACE. WE’RE GOING
TO THE BACK GARDENS. THEY’RE
TILTING UP THE CAMERA LOOKING
DOWN THE IMPRESSIVE MALL, THE
RED ROAD. BUT LEADS OUT FRONT OF
THE PALACE DOWN TOWARDS EDIBLE
PH. TRAFALGAR SQUARE. WE KNOW
ZOOM IN TO WESTMINSTER, THE
PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, THE
HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. AND HERE.
IS THE WESTMINSTER ABBEY BUILT
OVER 1000 YEARS AGO, CHURCH HAS

NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SO
PATIENTLY WAITING AND GUYS, IT
IS NOT WARM OUT HERE. IT’S ABOUT
50 DEGREES. UM, AND THEY
EXPERIENCED SOME RAIN EARLIER IN
THE WEEK AS WELL. BUT PEOPLE ARE

A PRIVILEGE, AND IT’S JUST BEEN
REALLY GREAT TO HEAR THEIR
