ANOTHER TURN. MARKING MARTIN
LUTHER KING JR DAY, A TIME OF
REFLECTION, COMMUNITY SERVICE
AND ACTION. AND SHOULD WE KEEP
IT GOING? OR DO YOU WANT SOME
SNOW AROUND HERE AFTER A NICE
WEEKEND? WE ARE ALSO EXPECTING A
MILD MONDAY TEMPERATURE WISE,
BUT IT CHANGES ALSO IN THE AIR.
Y FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT FOR NEWS
AT SIX A.M. STARTS NOW. GOOD
MORNING, EVERYBODY ON THE 16TH
DAY OF JANUARY, THE OBSERVANCE
OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY.
THANKS FOR WAKING UP WITH US AND
RHONDA WALKER JASON COLTHORPE.
GOOD MORNING, DETROIT AND WERE
YOU BY THE WAY, SAYING THAT OUR
CHOICES OUR SUN AND SNOW OR NO
SUN AND NO SNOW SUN, AND I DON’T
CARE WHAT ELSE HAPPENS AFTER
THAT. I KIND OF AGREE WITH THAT
METEOROLOGIST ASHLEY EMBARRASS
E. CHECKING THE FORECAST FOR US
THIS MORNING. IT WAS LIKE SUNNY
AND 20 BELOW ZERO. RHONDA OKAY
WITH THAT IT’S BETTER THAN NO
SUN AT ALL. YEAH I KNOW. THE
SUNSHINE DEFINITELY DOES MAKE A
DIFFERENCE. HOPEFULLY YOU GOT
OUT AND ENJOYED IT, EVEN THOUGH
IT’S A LITTLE CHILLY THIS
WEEKEND, BUT WE DID HAVE QUITE A
BIT OF SUNSHINE ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MICHIGAN. NOT GOING TO BE THE
CASE TODAY, BUT WARMING
TEMPERATURES. THAT’S KIND OF THE
TRADE OFF. SO AS WE LOOK AT OUR
FOUR ZONES IN OUR METRO ZONE
HERE IN DETROIT 28 DEGREES,
YOU’LL FIND THAT SAME
TEMPERATURE IMPORT HERE ON 25
OFTEN, ANN ARBOR AND 27 AT THIS
HOUR IN ADRIAN LITTLE WARMER IN
WESTERN MICHIGAN. WE HAVE SOME
WARMTH COMING OFF OF LAKE
MICHIGAN. I POINT THAT OUT JUST
BECAUSE FOR SOUTHAVEN MUSKEGON,
THEY’RE JUST SHY OF 40 DEGREES.
THAT’S CLOSER TO WHAT OUR
AFTERNOON HIGH IS GOING TO BE
HERE ACROSS PORTIONS OF METRO
DETROIT CLOUDS AND RADAR.
ACTUALLY WE TOOK RADAR OFF JUST
TO SHOW YOU THAT THICK CLOUD
DECK THAT WE ARE TRACKING
PUSHING INTO THE GREAT LAKES
REGION, SO WE’RE GOING TO BE
WELCOMING BACK THAT WINTER GRAY
AHEAD OF SOME RAIN SHOWERS THAT
PUSH IN LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 39
ARE HIGH. IT WILL BE A LITTLE
BREEZY, BUT THE RAIN SHOWERS
ARRIVED JUST BEFORE SUNSET AND
TIME FOR THE EVENING RUSH HOUR
DRIVE. IF YOU DO HAVE TO WORK
TODAY FOR TONIGHT, 35 DEGREES SO
DISTINCTLY WARMER THAN WHERE WE
WERE LAST NIGHT WARMING
TEMPERATURES THAT TEASE US UP
FOR AN EVEN WARMER TUESDAY AS
HIGH AS WILL RISE INTO THE UPPER
FORTIES WILL STILL BE IN AND OUT
OF A PASSING SHOWER WILL TIME IT
ALL OUT FOR YOU HOUR BY HOUR IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES, BUT LET’S
ALSO TIME OUT THAT COMMUTE IF
YOU’RE HEADING OUT THE DOOR. NOW
HERE’S YOUR TIME SAVER TRAFFIC.
AND THAT COMMUTE IS LOOKING
FANTASTIC THIS MORNING. THERE
ARE NO PROBLEMS TO REPORT AT
THIS TIME. SO IF YOU’RE HEADING
OUT RIGHT NOW, IT IS SMOOTH
SAILING. WE’VE GOT GREEN ARROWS
ON OUR MAPS AND EVEN BETTER
NEWS. I 75 WHICH WAS SHUT DOWN
FOR THE WEEKEND BETWEEN CLARK
AND SPRING WELLS. WELL THAT IS
BACK OPEN NOW. SO THAT’S PART OF
YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. YOU CAN
FEEL FREE TO USE THAT DR. LET’S
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR MORNING
DRIVE WITH OUR 1 800 CALL SAM
TRAPPER SHOT OVER. I 6 96 AND
MOUND AND MAN, IS IT QUIET OUT
THERE THIS MORNING AND THAT IS
LIKELY BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE DO
HAVE THE DAY OFF. SO EXPECT
LIGHTER TRAFFIC VOLUMES TODAY

GREAT, RHONDA ALRIGHT, KIM.
THANK YOU. TODAY THE NATION
PAUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE LIFE AND
LEGACY OF DR MARTIN LUTHER KING
JR. PRESIDENT BIDEN STARTED THIS
YEAR’S REMEMBRANCE AND SUNDAY
WHEN HE BECAME THE FIRST
PRESIDENT TO SPEAK AT DR KING’S
FORMER CHURCH DOWN IN ATLANTA AT
EBENEZER BAPTIST. THE PRESIDENT
IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW UP HIS
SPEECH BY MEETING WITH CIVIL
RIGHTS ADVOCATE AL SHARPTON AND
THE NATIONAL ACTION NETWORK
LATER TODAY. ALSO TODAY,
THOUSANDS ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE
PART IN THE DETROIT RALLY. IN
MARCH TO HONOR DR KING AND WE
WANT TO TAKE A LIVE PICTURE AS
WELL AT THIS AWESOME MONUMENT OF
DR KING IN WASHINGTON D. C IF
YOU’VE NEVER BEEN THERE, AND
YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT, IT IS IT
JUST THE SIZE OF IT JUST TAKES
YOUR BREATH AWAY. JUST BECAUSE
THEY’RE BREATHTAKING IS THE WORD
AND IT’S HIS OWN WORDS THAT
HELPED TO INSPIRE MANY PEOPLE TO
TAKE ACTION DURING ONE OF HIS
MANY SPEECHES, THE CIVIL RIGHTS
ICON SAID, QUOTE YOU CAN KILL
THE DREAMER, BUT YOU CAN’T KILL
THE DREAM. LET’S GET TO
NICK MONACELLI THIS MORNING.
WHO’S LIVE FOR US? FIRST TIME
IT’S BEING HELD IN PERSON SINCE
THE PANDEMIC. THE FESTIVITIES
TODAY, NICK YEAH. IN FACT, WE’RE
EXPECTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO
COME HERE. IN FACT, THIS IS
GOING TO START RIGHT OUTSIDE OF
ST MATTHEWS SLASH ST JOSEPH. THE
PHYSICAL CHURCH HERE ON WOODWARD
THEY’RE GOING TO GATHER FOR A
RALLY OUT FRONT AND MARCHED DOWN
WOODWARD. AND AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE, THIS MEANS A LOT TO A
WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING TO
PUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON FOR
DECADES. IT MEANS A LOT. YOU
KNOW IT RECONNECTS ME TO MY OWN
PERSONAL HISTORY. WHAT MEANS A
LOT IS THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR
RALLY AND MARCH THAT OBVIO MIA
ZIKA WAY CO FOUNDED 20 YEARS AGO
. 17 1917 TODAY 1000 PEOPLE
MARCHED AGAIN BEGINNING AT ST
MATTHEWS AND SAINT JOSEPH’S
EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN DETROIT.
THIS IS THE SECOND OLDEST
AFRICAN AMERICAN CONGREGATION IN
THE CITY OF DETROIT. AND IT WAS
VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN THE
UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. YOU KNOW,
DETROIT WAS A SINNER. PEOPLE
FLEEING THE SOUTH, SO DETROIT
REALLY HAS A PROFOUND HISTORY IN
REGARD TO FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND
EQUALITY FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN
PEOPLE WILL NOT BE LONG TIME.
SURE, YOU KNOW, DR KING WAS A
STRONG SUPPORTER OF GRASSROOTS
MOVEMENTS, ORGANIZING AND
MOBILIZING VOLUNTEERS TO HELP
THOSE MOST IN NEED. NO CHANGE
COMES WITHOUT A DEMAND, AND THE
DEMAND HAS TO COME FROM THE
PEOPLE. AND IF YOU LOOK AT
HISTORY ANY CHANGE THAT WE’VE
SEEN IS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ROSE
UP AND DEMANDED BY JONES HAS
BEEN FIGHTING FOR BETTER
EQUALITY IN DETROIT FOR DECADES
, SO HAPPY TO BE A PART OF DR
KING’S LEGACY. BECAUSE IT IS
BECAUSE OF THE FIGHTS AND THE
STRUGGLE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT THAT I OBTAINED SO MANY
OPPORTUNITIES, BUT WE WANT TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BE ACTIVE
BEYOND MLK DAY TO JOIN SOME
ORGANIZATIONS SOME COALITION IN
THEIR COMMUNITIES TO FIGHT FOR A
BETTER DETROIT TO IMPROVE THE
OVERALL CONDITIONS OF PEOPLE
HERE IN THE CITY. WE’RE NOT
DONE. WE STILL HAVE RACISM. WE
STILL HAVE PROPERTY. WE STILL
HAVE WARS GOING ON. SO WE’RE
HERE TO CONTINUE TO WORK. AND
THAT WORK CONTINUES AGAIN WITH A
RALLY IN MARCH. TODAY THE RALLY
IS AT NOON AGAIN OUTSIDE ST
MATTHEW ST MATTHEWS IN SAINT
JOSEPH EPISCOPAL CHURCH, AND
THEN THE MARCH BEGINS AT 1 45.
WE ARE LIVE THIS MORNING.
NICK MONACELLI LOCAL 4 ALL
RIGHT, NIC? THANK YOU, AND
CERTAINLY SO THANKFUL FOR THOSE
CIVIL RIGHTS FIGHTERS THEN AND
NOW BECAUSE THE WORK DOES
CONTINUE AND IS NEEDED FOR SURE
. MANY OF DR KING’S MESSAGES
DURING HIS LIFETIME STILL RING
TRUE TODAY, THAT’S WHAT’S SO
INCREDIBLE, RIGHT? ESPECIALLY
TRUE WHEN IT COMES TO HATE, FOR
EXAMPLE, HE OFTEN SAID DARKNESS
CANNOT DRIVE OUT DARKNESS. ONLY
LIGHT CAN DO THAT HATE CANNOT
DRIVE OUT HATE. ONLY LOVE CAN DO
THAT. AND TODAY THE 38TH ANNUAL
DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR HOLIDAY
PEACE WALK WILL TAKE PLACE IN
SOUTHFIELD. YES, AND IT STARTS
AT NINE O’CLOCK THIS MORNING.
IT’S AN ANNUAL EVENT THAT KICKS
OFF AT HOPE UNITED METHODIST
CHURCH AND NORTHWESTERN HIGHWAY
THERE ON CIVIC CENTER AS WELL
AFTER THERE WILL BE A PROGRAM AT
11 A.M. AT THE SOUTH FIELD
PAVILION RIGHT THERE ON
EVERGREEN. FOLLOWING THE PROGRAM
YOU GET TO EAT, THEY HAVEN’T
TASTE FAST WITH FOOD AND DRINKS
RIGHT INSIDE OF THE PAVILION AS
WELL. AND THERE ARE MANY MORE
EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING ALL
OVER. ACROSS METRO DETROIT TODAY
, IF YOU WANT TO GET THE FAMILY
OUT ON THIS DAY OFF, WHICH
REALLY AND DR KING’S HONOR MEANS
A DAY OF SERVICE. WE POSTED A
COMPLETE LIST ON THE HOMEPAGE OF
CLICKONDETROIT.COM. WE COULD
LEARN MORE TODAY ABOUT WHAT
CAUSED THE PASSENGER PLANE TO
CRASH. IT WAS IT WAS PREPARING
TO LAND AT A NEWLY OPENED
AIRPORT IN POKHARA, NEPAL. A
SPOKESMAN FOR THE COUNTRY’S
CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY SAYS
BOTH THE FLIGHT DATA AND COCKPIT
VOICE RECORDERS HAVE BEEN
RECOVERED FROM THE CRASH SITE.
WITNESS SAYS HE SAW THE PLANE
SPINNING VIOLENTLY IN THE AIR AS
IT BEGAN TO DESCEND RIGHT BEFORE
IT CRASHED NOSE FIRST INTO THE
GROUND. SO FAR, 68 OF THE 72
PEOPLE ABOARD THE YETI AIRLINES
PLANE HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED DEAD.
THIS IS NEPAL’S DEADLIEST PLANE
CRASH IN 30 YEARS WITH
WASHINGTON WHERE THERE IS NEW
FALLOUT OVER MORE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS FOUND ON PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN’S PROPERTY. THE PRESIDENT
FACING NEW CRITICISM FROM
REPUBLICANS AND EVEN MICHIGAN
DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER DEBBIE
STABENOW ADMITS THE SO CALLED
MISSTEP IS TROUBLING. IT’S
CERTAINLY EMBARRASSING. IT’S ONE
OF THOSE MOMENTS THAT OBVIOUSLY
THEY WISH HADN’T HAPPENED. NBC’S
CHRIS PALLONE HAS MORE NOW ON
THIS FROM WASHINGTON. JASON AND
RHONDA. GOOD MORNING. SOURCES
TELL NBC NEWS PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
FRUSTRATED BY THE GROWING
BACKLASH AFTER EIGHTS DISCOVERED
CLASSIFIED MATERIAL FROM HIS
TIME AS VICE PRESIDENT IN
WASHINGTON OFFICE AND AT HIS
DELAWARE HOME. PRESIDENT BIDEN
VIEWS THE DISCOVERY OF
CLASSIFIED MATERIAL AT HIS
FORMER OFFICE AND HIS CURRENT
HOME AS THE RESULT OF PROBABLE
SLOPPINESS BY AIDS AS THEY
PACKED UP HIS ITEMS WHEN HIS
TERM AS VICE PRESIDENT CAME TO
AN END. THE PRESIDENT HASN’T
ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
MATTER SINCE THURSDAY, AVOIDING
REPORTERS QUESTIONED SEVERAL
TIMES SUNDAY DURING A TRIP TO
ATLANTA TO MARK REVEREND MARTIN
LUTHER KING JUNIOR’S BIRTHDAY.
HIS MISSION WAS SOMETHING EVEN
DEEPER. IT WAS SPIRITUAL. IT WAS
MORAL DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO
DRAW DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN THE
BIDEN TEAMS HANDLING OF
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AND THAT OF
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO HAS
INSISTED HE DECLASSIFIED ITEMS
FOUND DURING AN FBI SEARCH AT
HIS FLORIDA HOME. THE
PRESIDENT’S LAWYERS THAT MOMENT
THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE
DOCUMENTS THAT DAY TURNED THEM
OVER TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
AND ULTIMATELY TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE BUT WITH SPECIAL
COUNSEL IS NOW INVESTIGATING
BOTH PRESIDENTS HANDLING OF
CLASSIFIED MATERIAL. HOUSE
REPUBLICANS ARE ER, EAGER TO PUT
THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE UNDER THE
MICROSCOPE. THE HYPOCRISY HERE
IS GREAT. WE’RE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
WERE VERY CONCERNED. AS I HAVE
SAID MANY TIMES ABOUT A TWO TIER
SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IN AMERICA AND
WE JUST WANT EQUAL TREATMENT AND
HOPEFULLY WE’LL GET SOME ANSWERS
VERY SOON, BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN.
WAS HE AWARE THAT THEY HAD BEEN
MOVED? DID HE, IN ANY CASE IN
THE PAST FIVE YEARS? HAS HE
HANDLED THOSE DOCUMENTS? WAS HE
AWARE OF THEM? THE WHITE HOUSE
HAS PROMISED TO COOPERATE WITH
THE SPECIAL COUNSEL’S
INVESTIGATION. NOW GIVEN THAT
SEVERAL OF THE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS WERE DISCOVERED AT
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PERSONAL HOME
IN DELAWARE, THE REPUBLICAN
HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIR HAS
REQUESTED VISITOR LOGS TO THAT
HOME FOR ITS INVESTIGATION. IN
WASHINGTON. CHRIS PALLONE LOCAL
4 NEWS LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL TAKE
ON AN EXTRA JOB TO EARN SOME
EXTRA MONEY. TRUE BUT UNCLE SAM
MIGHT BE TRYING TO MUSCLE IN ON
YOUR SIDE HUSTLE. WE’RE GOING TO
EXPLAIN ALSO, I HAD MORE THAN A
CARJACKING. LOCAL POLICE ARE
ASKING FOR HELP FINDING A STOLEN
