♪ >> Kim: BREAKING NEWS FROM METRO
AIRPORT WHERE A PASSENGER HAS
BEEN RUSHED OUT OF THE AIRPORT
TO A HOSPITAL FOR TESTING
>> Devin: THAT’S COMING UP AS WE
CONTINUE TO LEARN MORE.
WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS FROM
EAST LANSING, A RATHER SHOCKING
ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MARK DANTONIO.
AFTER 13 YEARS AS HEAD FOOTBALL
COACH HE HAS DECIDED TO STEP
DOWN.
DOWN. >> Kim: MARA MACDONALD IS LIVE
IN EAST LANSING GETTING
REACTION.
REACTION. >> Devin: WE START OFF WITH
BERNIE.
BERNIE. FEW PEOPLE SAW THIS COMING
ESPECIALLY AFTER HE TOLD US HE
WOULD BE BACK AND STAYING.
>> Bernie: THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER.
VERY FEW PEOPLE SAW THIS COMING.
THERE WERE WHISPERS HE COULD
RETIRE AND THIS AFTERNOON HE
DID.
DID. MICHIGAN STATE SAID HE IS
STEPPING DOWN AFTER A 13-YEAR
RUN.
RUN. RUMORS ABOUND THAT LUKE FICKLE,
THE FORMER OHIO STATE HEAD
FOOTBALL COACH WILL REPLACE HIM,
CURRENTLY AT CINCINNATI.
WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTS OF MARK
DANTONIO AND SPOKE TO A SOURCE
CLOSE TO HIM.
THE SOURCE TELLS US THE PRESSURE
FROM THE ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE
CHANGES ON HIS COACHING STAFF
DID NOT SIT WELL WITH HIM.
TWO YEARS AGO, HIS WIFE BECKY
IMPLORED HIM TO RETIRE AND START
ENJOYING LIFE.
ENJOYING LIFE. HE HAD A HEART ATTACK.
HE IS NAMED IN A LAWSUIT BY
CURTIS BLACKWELL THAT NCAA RULES
WERE VIOLATED BY DANTONIO.
AND TO TOP IT OFF, HE WAS PAID A
$4.3 MILLION BONUS ON JANUARY
15th, AND TOMORROW IS SENATE
SIGNING DAY.
SIGNING DAY. TAKE ALL OF THAT INTO ACCOUNT,
HUH?
HUH? THE NEWS IS STARTING TO SINK
INTO SPARTAN FANS EVERYWHERE.
STANDING BY MORE LIVE IS OUR OWN
MARA MACDONALD.
MARA MACDONALD. WHAT KIND OF VIBE ARE YOU
PICKING UP ON CAMPUS IN EAST
LANSING?
LANSING? >> Mara: THE KIDS ARE ABSOLUTELY
STUNNED!
STUNNED! WE WERE TALKING TO THEM IN THE
STUDENT UNION.
STUDENT UNION. THEY WERE SITTING IN CLASS AND
GOT A TWITTER ALERT PRETTY MUCH
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND IT’S
ALL OVER CAMPUS RIGHT NOW.
AND THEY REALLY LOVE THIS COACH
AND THEY LOVE THE PROGRAM HERE,
AND THEY’RE SORRY TO SEE HIM GO.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> I’M VERY SAD THAT MARK
DANTONIO IS LEAVING.
HE HAS LEFT ME AND ALL SPARTAN
FANS WITH A LOT OF GREAT
MEMORIES FOR THE PAST 12-13
YEARS.
YEARS. I UNDERSTAND THAT HE WANTED TO
SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY
AND THAT’S VERY NOBLE AND
UPSTANDING THING.
UPSTANDING THING. BUT ME AND MOST OF THE SPARTAN
FAMILY ARE DEFINITELY GONNA MISS
HIM.
HIM. >> Mara: BACK HERE LIVE.
I WAS SPEAKING TO SOME MSU ALUMS
WHO ARE IN THE STUDENT CENTER.
AND THEY WERE TALKING TO ME
ABOUT IT, AND THEIR TAKE ON IT
IS THEY’RE SAD TO SEE HIM GO AND
WONDER HOW MUCH THE BLACKWELL
LAWSUIT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH
THE DECISION HERE.
BUT THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM,
AND NOT JUST A TWIST COMMENT.
THERE’S A NEWS CONFERENCE AT THE
BRESLIN AT 6:30, AND THE COACH
WILL SPEAK.
WILL SPEAK. THEY’RE WAITING TO HEAR FROM
HIM.
HIM. LIVE IN EAST LANSING, BACK TO
YOU.
YOU. >> Bernie: SCOOP FROM McDONALD,
6:30 TONIGHT.
6:30 TONIGHT. >> Devin: REALLY, PUT THE
PROGRAM INTO FINAL FOUR AND THE
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PICTURE,
AND IT PUT HIM INTO A DIFFERENT
LEAGUE.
LEAGUE. >> Bernie: THE SOURCE I SPOKE
WITH SAID HE WASN’T HAVING FUN
ANYMORE, SO HE MADE THE MOVE.
MORE AT 5:45.
TOM IZZO AND MARK DANTONIO ARE
LIKE BROTHERS, REALLY CLOSE
FRIENDS.
FRIENDS. >> Devin: NOW THE LATEST ON THE
CORONAVIRUS CRISIS.
CORONAVIRUS CRISIS. AND WE BEGIN WITH SOME NEWS AS
WE SAID OFF THE TOP OF THE
NEWSCAST FROM DETROIT METRO
AIRPORT.
AIRPORT. >> Kim: THE AIRPORT HAS
CONFIRMED AN ILL PASSENGER WAS
TRANSPORTED TODAY TO A LOCAL
HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER TESTING AND
THEN REFERRED US TO THE CDC FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. WE’VE REACHED OUT TO THE CDC AND
WAITING FOR DETAILS ON THE
CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS
PASSENGER.
PASSENGER. >> Devin: LET’S BRING IN OUR DR.
McGEORGE WITH THE LATEST ON
WHERE THINGS STAND GLOBALLY AS
WE LEARN MORE LOCALLY.
>> Dr. McGeorge: THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION DECLARED THE
CORONAVIRUS A PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY OF INTERNATIONAL
CONCERN.
CONCERN. YET, TODAY THEY SAID THEY DO NOT
CONSIDER OF A PANDEMIC, WHICH IS
AN EPIDEMIC OF WORLDWIDE
PROPOSITION BUT AN EPIDEMIC.
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
BELIEVES IT’S MOSTLY CENTERED IN
CHINA WITH ONLY A FEW OUTLYING
CLUSTERS AND THEY FURTHER
BELIEVE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE
THAT THE VIRUS IS MUTATING OR
THAT FACE MASKS ALONE WILL HALT
ITS TRANSMISSION.
ITS TRANSMISSION. BUT THEY DO HAVE A ROLE WHEN
SOMEONE IS SICK.
>> I THINK TO STOP TRANSMISSION,
IT’S IMPORTANT THAT SICK PEOPLE
WEAR A MASK.
THAT’S CLEAR.
THAT’S CLEAR. THEN IN TERMS OF RISK, AGAIN I
SAID THAT’S FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE
NO SYMPTOMS.
NO SYMPTOMS. THE MASK WILL NOT NECESSARILY
PROTECT THEM 100%.
>> Kim: I’M GONNA GO BACK TO THE
SICK PASSENGER.
SICK PASSENGER. HOW MUCH OF A CONCERN IS THIS?
>> Dr. McGeorge: IT’S SOMETHING
TO THINK ABOUT.
KEEP IN MIND THAT METRO AIRPORT
IS ONLY 1 OF 11 AIRPORTS
DESIGNATED TO RECEIVE PASSENGERS
FROM CHINA, SO THERE’S CAUTION
BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR WHAT THE
SITUATION IS THERE YET AND WE’LL
CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO THE CDC
FOR ANSWERS AND FOLLOW-UP.
>> Devin: AND IT’S ONE OF THE
TRUE ASIA HUBS, YOU HOPE THIS
MEANS A HIGHER LEVEL OF
SCRUTINY.
SCRUTINY. >> Dr. McGeorge: BUT BECAUSE
IT’S 1 OF THE 11 SCREENING
CENTERS, WOULD I IMAGINE SOMEONE
WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN UP THERE,
SO IT’S NOT A HUGE SURPRISE.
>> Devin: AMID ALL THIS NEWS,
HOW ABOUT A THREE-DAY SNOW EVENT
ON THE WAY.
>> Kim: OVER TO BEN WITH A LOOK
AT HOW MUCH SNOW IS COMING AND
WHEN.
WHEN. >> Ben: AND THAT’S WHAT WE’VE
GOT HERE, TOO.
STARTING OUT TOMORROW, IN THE
EVENING, THAT’S WHEN WE’LL SEE
THE FIRST PUSH OF SNOW.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE MAIN EVENT
THAT WE’RE WATCHING.
THAT’S NUMBER ONE.
THE SECOND PART OF THIS STARTS
PULLING IN FOR THE EVENING ON
THURSDAY, AND WRAPPING UP THE
CABOOSE ON FRIDAY MORNING.
THAT’S NUMBER THREE.
ALL OF THE WAVES RIDING A FRONT
JUST TO OUR SOUTH FOR THE NEXT
THREE DAYS.
THREE DAYS. SO VERY MINIMAL IMPACTS ON
TOMORROW EVENING’S COMMUTE, MOST
OF THE SNOW IS AFTER THAT.
THURSDAY IN THE MORNING, THE
MAJOR COMMUTE PROBLEM AND THE
SNOW CONTINUES FOR THE EVENING
AND FRIDAY MORNING.
STILL COULD HAVE SLICK STREETS
BY THE DRIVE HOME ON FRIDAY.
BUT YOU CAN SEE IT WILL BE A
MESS FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUTES IN
THE NEXT THREE DAYS, GUYS.

♪ >> Kim: WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW
MORE BREAKING NEWS, THIS TIME
FROM IOWA WHERE WE WERE PROMISED
AT LEAST PARTIAL RESULTS FROM
LAST NIGHT’S CAUCUS.
>> Devin: AN EXTRAORDINARY MESS!
AND ALL THAT CHAOS LAST NIGHT.
AND WE’RE STARTING TO GET SOME
DEVELOPMENTS NOW.
DEVELOPMENTS NOW. >> Steve: I’VE BEEN WATCHING THE
LIVE FEEDS AND IT IS STILL A
CHAOTIC SCENE THERE!
WITHIN THE LAST HALF-HOUR, THEY
HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY HAVE
SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 60% OF THE
RESULTS AVAILABLE.
RESULTS AVAILABLE. SO THE WAIT FOR THE WINNER
CONTINUES.
CONTINUES. AND IT’S BAD NEWS FOR THE
EVENTUAL WINNERS BECAUSE THEY
LOSE THE CHANCE FOR A VICTORY
SPEECH.
SPEECH. AND THEY ESCAPED TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE UNDER THE RADAR.
THE PROBLEM IS A SOFTWARE
PROGRAM.
PROGRAM. COUNTY CHAIRS TRIED TO USE IT TO
SEND IN RESULTS FROM THEIR
CAUCUS LOCATIONS LAST NIGHT.
IT IS REPORTEDLY A VERY NEW
PRODUCT.
PRODUCT. IT WASN’T TESTED AND JUST DIDN’T
WORK.
WORK. SO THEY USED CELL PHONES TO CALL
THE IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY HOT
LINE
LINE LINE.
LINE. THERE IS NO HACKING OR FALSE
RESULTS.
RESULTS. THEY’RE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE
IN IOWA BUT MIGHT BE JUST ADDING
TO THE CONFUSION WITH THE
RELEASE OF PARTIAL RESULTS,
WHICH HAVE VERY LITTLE MEANING.
THERE IS NO WORD YET ON WHEN
THEY MIGHT HAVE COMPLETE
RESULTS.
RESULTS. NO GUARANTEE EVEN THAT IT WILL
BE TODAY OR TONIGHT.
SO THAT WAIT CONTINUES.
ONE MORE LITTLE TIDBIT.
NEXT TUESDAY IS THE NEW
HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY, ALL THE
CANDIDATES HAVE MOVED ON TO THE
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE NEXT CAUCUS IS IN NEVADA ON
FEBRUARY 22nd.
FEBRUARY 22nd. AND LATE THIS AFTERNOON, THEIR
DEMOCRATIC PARTY ANNOUNCED THEY
WILL NOT USE THE SAME SOFTWARE
OR VENDOR OR PRODUCT THAT WAS
USED IN IOWA.
NEVADA PROMISING A SMOOTH
CAUCUS.
CAUCUS. IT HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT IN IOWA
AS THE CAUCUS KERFUFFLE WILL
CONTINUE!
CONTINUE! BACK TO YOU.
>> Devin: WE’LL AWAIT WORD ON
WHETHER OR NOT THESE ARE MADE
OFFICIAL, THE LATEST NUMBERS WE
HAVE.
HAVE. AND WE’LL GET BACK TO YOU WHEN
THEY DO.
THEY DO. >>> NOW NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
TOXIC OOZE INVESTIGATION AS THE
COURT BATTLE AGAINST GARY SAYERS
CONTINUES IN MADISON HEIGHTS.
>> Kim: WE HEARD FROM THE CITY
OF WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH THE
STORM AND SEWER PIPES.
HANK WINCHESTER HAS BEEN MORE
FROM THE COURTROOM.
WE GOT TO SEE MORE OF THE GREEN
OOZE THAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME.
>> Hank: NEW PHOTOS ENTERED INTO
COURT EVIDENCE.
COURT EVIDENCE. IT WAS A BIG DAY IN THE
COURTROOM.
COURTROOM. WHEN THE OOZE STARTED SPILLING
ON TO THE ROADWAY, IT WAS THE
COLOR THAT TOOK US ALL BY
SURPRISE. WE’RE GETTING A LOOK
AT THE CHEMICALS THAT CAUSED
THAT COLOR AND WHAT IT DID TO
THE PIPES UNDERNEATH THE
BUILDING.
BUILDING. >> YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE EARTH
UNDER THE PIPE.
>> SO THE PIPE IS GONE?
>> THE PIPE IS GONE.
>> Hank: WE’RE GETTING AN INSIDE
LOOK INSIDE THE SANITARY SEWER
PIPES COVERED IN WHAT APPEARS TO
BE GREEN CHEMICALS ERODING THE
SIDES.
SIDES. MADISON HEIGHTS DIRECTOR OF
PUBLIC SERVICE SHOWED THE VIDEO.
HE SAYS THE PIPES LEAD TO A
TREATMENT FACILITY IN DETROIT
AND THEN THE WATER RUNS INTO THE
DETROIT RIVER, BUT THE PROBLEM
PROSECUTORS ARE GETTING AT, THE
PIPES CAN BE DAMAGED BY
HAZARDOUS WASTE AND CHEMICALS
AND THINGS CAN SEEP INTO STORM
SEWERS AND DRAINS.
>> POTENTIALLY THEY ALL LEAD TO
THE RED RUN DRAIN, CLINTON RIVER
AND LAKE ST. CLAIR.
>> SO IF IT’S CONTAMINATED AND
GOT INTO THE STORM SEWER SYSTEM,
WOULD THAT CONTAMINATED WATER BE
CARRIED TO THE RED RUN DRAIN,
THE CLINTON RIVER AND LAKE ST.
CLAIR?
CLAIR? >> THAT’S CORRECT.
>> Hank: AND THE CODE
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER TAKING THE
STAND SAYING SHE SPENT YEARS
GIVING GARY SAYERS VERBAL
WARNINGS.
WARNINGS. HE WOULD COMPLY AND THEN A SHORT
TIME LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM.
OFFICIAL WRITTEN WARNINGS WERE
NEVER HANDED OVER UNTIL 2015 AND
BY THEN THINGS WERE OUT OF
CONTROL.
CONTROL. A LOT OF FINGERPOINTING AND WHY
WASN’T MORE SEVERE ACTION TAKEN
SOONER?
SOONER? A LOT OF FINGERPOINTING AS TO
WHY THE LOCALS AND FEDS DIDN’T
DO SOMETHING SOONER.
>> Kim: HANK WILL HAVE THE
LATEST ON THE TOXIC OOZE
INVESTIGATION IN MADISON HEIGHTS
THIS SUNDAY AT 8:00 ON THE
"DEFENDING THE ENVIRONMENT"
SPECIAL AND KAREN DREW CONTINUES
