WE AT FIVE STARTS NOW. A
TRANSFORMATIVE INVESTMENT. FORD WE AT FIVE STARTS NOW. A
TRANSFORMATIVE INVESTMENT. FORD PLEDGES TO POUR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO PLANTS IN THE
MIDWEST. IT MEANS THOUSANDS OF
NEW JOBS BECAUSE THE CARS OF THE
FUTURE ARE GOING TO BE BUILT
RIGHT HERE AT HOME. IT’S A
MASSIVE SHOT IN THE ARM FOR AN
INDUSTRY HERE IN METRO DETROIT
THAT WAS ONCE THOUGHT TO BE ON
THE WAY OUT. LET’S TAKE YOU
THROUGH SOME OF THE BROAD
STROKES ON THIS. THE $3.7
BILLION INVESTMENTS. WE’LL GO TO
PLANTS HERE IN MICHIGAN, OHIO
AND MISSOURI. IT COVERS BOTH
ELECTRIC AND INTERNAL COMBUSTION
VEHICLES. AND THAT MONEY MEANS
NEW JOBS 6200 OF THEM TO BE
EXACT, WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO
OPEN UP. LET’S DRILL DOWN ON
WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING HERE
IN METRO DETROIT, THE FORD ROUGE
PLANT IN DEARBORN, MICHIGAN
ASSEMBLY PLANT IN WAYNE, FLAT
ROCK ASSEMBLY AND A BRAND NEW
PACKAGING FACILITY IN MONROE,
FORD BLUE PRESIDENT KUMAR GOEL
HATTERAS, SAYING TODAY THE
COMPANY IS DOUBLING DOWN ON
AMERICAN WORKERS. IT IS ABOUT
YOU, THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD OUR
PRODUCTS. FORD IS ALREADY THE
LARGEST EMPLOYER OF HOURLY AUTO
WORKERS IN AMERICA. IT’S NOT AN
ACCIDENT. THAT WAS A CHOICE WE
MADE AS A COMPANY. THINK WE WANT
TO GET TO GRANT HERMES. HE’S
LIVE IN FLAT ROCK TONIGHT ONE OF
THE PLANTS ABOUT TO GET A HUGE
BOOST. THIS INVESTMENT IS A
MAJOR, NOT JUST BECAUSE THIS IS
AN INDUSTRY THAT SCENE SHUT DOWN
TO THE PANDEMIC SUPPLY CHANGE
BRIDGES AND A CHANGING MARKET.
BUT FOLKS HERE IN FLAT ROCK SAY
THE MONEY COMING TO THIS
ASSEMBLY PLANT IS EXACTLY WHAT
THEY’RE LOOKING FOR, BUT MOSTLY
THEY’RE LOOKING FOR JOBS. INSIDE
PIPER’S DINER OFF TELEGRAPH IN
FLAT ROCK PEOPLE ENJOYED THE
SOUP OF THE DAY BROCCOLI CHEDDAR
AND TALKED ABOUT JOBS LIKE THEY
DO MOST DAYS, BUT TODAY IT WAS
DIFFERENT. THAT’S GREAT. IT’S AT
LEAST IN THIS COMMUNITY. IT’S
GOOD TO KEEP THE PEOPLE HERE
KEEP THE JOBS HERE. INVESTMENT
FROM FORD MEANS 3200 JOBS FOR
METRO DETROIT, INCLUDING MONEY
AND JOBS. AT THE BELEAGUERED
FLAT ROCK ASSEMBLY PLANT, WHICH
IS SET TO MAKE THE NEW MUSTANG
COUPE THE PLANT AMONG THE
HARDEST HIT BY COVID SHUTDOWNS.
IT WAS ONE OF THE LAST TO REOPEN
AND THEN JUST THIS YEAR THE
GLOBAL CHIP SHORTAGE, FORCING
ANOTHER WEEK LONG CLOSURE. THE
TALK OF NEW MONEY AND JOBS ARE
WELCOME SIGN IN CHANGING TIMES.
THERE’S NO WAY WE’RE GOING TO
GET AWAY FROM NOT HAVING EBS.
WHETHER YOU LIKE ELECTRIC CARS
OR YOU DON’T LIKE IT. IT’S HERE
TO STAY. IT’S GOT TO BE GOOD,
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON’T
HAVE A PLACE TO GO MAKE A JOB
WHERE YOU CAN RETIRE FROM TYPE
THING. IT’S JUST YOU KNOW, IT’S
I THINK IT’S A GOOD HAS BEEN A
REGULAR AT PIPER SINCE THE
SEVENTIES. HE MOVED TO FLAT ROCK
TO WORK AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT
FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS. I’M STILL
LIVING HERE IN TOWN, AND IT’S
BEEN A GREAT IT WAS A GREAT
CAREER WITH FORD WITH MAZDA, AND
I’M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THEY’RE
GOING TO BRING MORE. TO THE
TABLE. I THINK IT’S FABULOUS.
YOU KNOW WHEN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT
MANUFACTURING AS A WHOLE IN
AMERICA, WE STILL NEED A WHOLE
LOT GOING ON HERE AND HOPEFULLY
THIS SPURS OTHER MANUFACTURERS
TO LOOK AT AMERICA THE AMERICAN
WORKFORCE AND KNOW THAT THEY CAN
GET A GREAT PRODUCT MADE HERE.
THAT IS CERTAINLY THE HOPE
AROUND METRO DETROIT. IT’S HARD
TO UNDERSTATE JUST HOW BIG THIS
INVESTMENT IS, ESPECIALLY AS THE
AUTOMAKERS SHIFT TO ELECTRIC
VEHICLES. AND WHEN THERE WAS SO
MUCH WORRY JASON ABOUT WHAT THAT
WOULD MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF
JOBS. HERE IN METRO DETROIT. AND
ALL OF THIS GRANT CLEARLY SEEMS
LIKE ANOTHER SIGN THAT THE
AUTOMAKERS ARE JUST TRIPPING
OVER THEMSELVES TRYING TO WIN
THE E V RACE. WHAT ARE THE
EXPERTS TELLING YOU ON THAT
FRONT? AND THEY SAID, THIS IS
JUST THE BEGINNING HERE. SO GM
FORD SLANTED A LITTLE SLOW TO
GET OUT OF THE GATE, COMPARED TO
SOME OTHER SMALLER COMPANIES
WHERE THEY SAID, DON’T SLEEP ON
THEM COMING UP AT SIX O’CLOCK
WE’VE GOT WHY. ONE EXPERT SAYS
THIS IS A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR
DETROIT’S BIG THREES WHEN IT
COMES TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN
FLAT ROCK GRANT HERMES LOCAL 4
INTERESTING. WE’LL SEE YOU AT
SIX GRAND. THANKS. WE’RE GETTING
NEW INFORMATION TODAY ON THE
DEADLY SHOOTING AT A TULSA,
OKLAHOMA HOSPITAL. POLICE SAY
THE ALLEGED GUNMAN WAS ON A
MISSION TO KILL HIS SURGEON.
POLICE SAY DR PRESTON PHILLIPS
OPERATED ON THE GUNMAN TWO WEEKS
AGO THAT GUNMAN BLAMING THAT
DOCTOR FOR ONGOING PAIN. ON
WEDNESDAY, THE GUNMAN WALKED
INTO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE SHOT
AND KILLED FOUR PEOPLE,
INCLUDING THE SURGEON BEFORE
TURNING THE GUN ON HIMSELF. WE
HAVE ALSO FOUND A LETTER ON THE
SUSPECT, WHICH MADE IT CLEAR
THAT HE CAME IN WITH THE INTENT
TO KILL DR PHILLIPS AND ANYONE
WHO GOT IN HIS WAY. HE BLAMED DR
PHILLIPS FOR THE ONGOING PAIN
FOLLOWING THE SURGERY. POLICE
SAY THE GUNMAN LEGALLY PURCHASED
THE RIFLE. HE USED THE DAY OF
THE SHOOTING DETROIT POLICE HAVE
SHUT DOWN A BAR, THEY SAY, HAS
BEEN OPERATING AS AN ILLEGAL
AFTER HOURS NIGHTCLUB FOR MONTHS
RATED THE WONDERLAND BAR ON
EIGHT MILE JUST EAST OF SOUTH OF
THE SOUTH FIELD THIS AFTERNOON.
SHAWN LEY IS. THEY’RE FORCED
TONIGHT WHERE NEIGHBORS HAVE TO
BE PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT THIS,
SEAN. IN FACT, ONE WOMAN JUST
DROVE BY JASON AND SAID SHE AND
HER FAMILY HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR
THIS A NOTICE TO SHUT THIS PLACE
DOWN THE BIG PURPLE BUILDING
HERE CALLED THE WONDERLAND
NIGHTCLUB, BUT THE PARTY WOULD
GET GOING AT MIDNIGHT AND EXTEND
FROM THE CLUB ALL THE WAY INTO
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. LISTEN
CLOSELY, BECAUSE NEIGHBORS WILL
DESCRIBE WHY THEY’RE CHEERING
THIS MOVE TONIGHT. A MAN WAS
SHOT AND KILLED AT 3 30 SATURDAY
MORNING AT THE WONDERLAND
NIGHTCLUB HERE ON WEST 80 MILES.
THE HOMICIDE, DRAWING THE
ATTENTION OF DETROIT POLICE WHO
TODAY MADE THIS MOVE HERE WE ARE
SHUTTING THIS BUSINESS DOWN.
INVESTIGATORS FOUND THAT THE
WONDERLAND WAS LICENSED AS A
NAIL SALON IN THE PAST BUT NOW
OPERATING ILLEGALLY. AS AN
UNLICENSED NIGHTCLUB WITH NO
FIRE INSPECTIONS, NO KITCHEN
INSPECTIONS OR FOOD INSPECTIONS
NIGHTCLUB WITH AN EXTENSIVE
KITCHEN, AMBIENT LIGHTING BAR
SEATING SHOWERS. UM. ROOMS THAT
ARE OFF TO THE SIDE. I DON’T
KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN THEIR
NEIGHBORS HAVE HAD IT WITH THE
CLUB AND THE CROWDS COMING HERE
FROM MIDNIGHT TO FIVE. IN THE
MORNING. EVERY MORNING
WONDERLAND WAS SHUT DOWN TODAY
BY DETROIT POLICE. WHAT DO YOU
THINK? I THINK THAT’S A GREAT
IDEA. BECAUSE EVERY WEEKEND AND
SHOOTING AND CAUSING TROUBLE YOU
HAVE TRASH ON YOUR YARDS FROM
THEM PARTYING TIL 45 O’CLOCK IN
THE MORNING, SO THAT’S GREAT. I
WAS WONDERING HOW WE CAN GET
THAT SHUT DOWN ANYWAY. CREW
TODAY, REMOVING FURNITURE FROM
THE CLUB THAT IS NOW OUT OF
BUSINESS. NEIGHBORS WILL NOT
MISS THE LIQUOR BOTTLES DUMPED
IN THEIR YARDS. PEOPLE BLOCKING
YOUR DRIVEWAYS BECAUSE THEY’RE
TRYING TO FIT TWO CARDS INTO ONE
SPACE. IT’S A HEADACHE, SO I’M
SO GLAD IT SHUT DOWN. SO THE
WONDERLAND OFFICIALLY SHUT DOWN
. NO. ONE HERE FROM THE CLUB TO
TALK ABOUT THEIR SIDE OF THIS,
BUT NEIGHBORS ARE TELLING US THE
LAST DRAW REALLY ABOVE
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GUN VIOLENCE
HERE SAYING, MAKING THE ENTIRE
STREET UNSAFE FOR THEM, JASON
AND I’M JUST WONDERING REAL
QUICK. SEAN, IS THAT HOW DETROIT
POLICE? THIS GOT ON THEIR RADAR,
WHERE NEIGHBORS CALLING A LOT
TRYING TO WARN THEM ABOUT ALL
THIS ACTIVITY? COMPLAINING ABOUT
IT. ABSOLUTELY SO MANY PEOPLE UP
AND DOWN THE STREET. A LOT OF
PEOPLE, THOUGH NOT WANTING TO
SPEAK PUBLICLY, NOT WANTING ANY
BLOWBACK FOR BLOWING THE WHISTLE
ON THIS PLACE. AND NOW THE
BUSINESS IS SHUT DOWN. YEAH,
WELL, I’M SURE THEY’RE VERY
HAPPY ABOUT THAT. SEAN, THANKS
ALL RIGHT, TURNING NOW TO THE
WEATHER FORECAST. YOU JUST CAN’T
BEAT WHETHER LIKE LIKE THIS ON A
DAY LIKE TODAY, YOU KNOW, BARELY
A CLOUD IN THE SKY AS YOU TAKE A
LIVE LOOK AT BELLE ISLE AHEAD OF
THIS WEEKEND’S GRAND PRIX. WE
GOT A LOT MORE TO COME FROM
BELL. I’LL JUST A LITTLE BIT
LATER IN THE SHOW, TOO, BUT WE
ALSO WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THAT
FORECAST AS WE CREEP CLOSER TO
RACE TIME, AND PAUL’S WATCHING
THAT AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND.
HEY, PAUL, WE’RE GOING TO BE OFF
TO A GOOD START THE BACK END OF
THE FORECAST. WE’LL TALK ABOUT
THAT IN A SECOND. BUT RIGHT NOW
FOUR ZONE WEATHER SHOWS A LOT OF
US ARE IN THE MID SEVENTIES 80
AT TAYLOR. MAYBE THAT’S
THERMOMETERS READING A LITTLE
BIT HIGH IN THE SUN. BUT IF YOUR
WINDS COMING IN OFF THE WATER
LIKE MOUNT CLEMENS AND GROSSE
ILE, YOU HAVE TEMPERATURES RIGHT
NOW THAT ARE IN THE MID UPPER
SIXTIES SOUTH ZONE. WE’RE
BASICALLY IN THE LOW SEVENTIES
HERE, CARLTON OVER TO MONROE,
LAMBERTVILLE UP TO CELINE
DUNDEE. AND THEN ER WEST OWN.
IT’S MOSTLY ALSO LOW TO MID
SEVENTIES YPSILANTI 77 72 WITH
MORE LIKE 73 MILLFORD 74 RIGHT
NOW IN HALL AND IN OUR NORTH
ZONE AGAIN SIXTIES NEAR LAKE
HURON, BUT INLAND IT IS LOW
SEVENTIES ACROSS THE BOARD. ALL
RIGHT, SO WE’RE GONNA SEE
TEMPERATURES BASICALLY FALLING
THROUGH THE SIXTIES. IF YOU’RE
NOT IN THE SIXTIES RIGHT NOW,
AND THAT’S MOST OF US SO FALLING
THROUGH THE SIXTIES WITH MAINLY
CLEAR SKIES THIS EVENING. AFTER
A GREAT START ON SATURDAY WITH
