CONCERN FOR FINDING THAT DOG

WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST
COMBING THE AREA, HOPING TO FIND
THE SIX MONTH OLD GOLDEN

O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING. WE’RE

AFTERNOON. WHAT A TERRIBLE LOOK,
WE WERE GIVING YOU THAT LOOKS
LOOKS AWFUL OUTSIDE. WHAT A DAY
. HERE WE ARE, AND IT’S MONDAY
WANTED TO QUICKLY LOOK BACK IN
CASE YOU WERE WONDERING, I JUST
LOOKED UP THE OBSERVATIONS FROM
THE AIRPORT IN RAY TOWNSHIP,
MICHIGAN FROM YESTERDAY TO SEE
IF WEATHER COULD HAVE PLAYED
ANYTHING. IN WHAT HAPPENED THERE
WITH THAT PLANE CRASH, WHICH
HAPPENED AROUND THREE PM AND
CONDITIONS WERE PRETTY CALM. 85
DEGREES. NO WET WEATHER IN THE
AREA, LITTLE EAST NORTHEAST WIND
AT SEVEN. I KNOW THE PILOT OR
THE MEMBERS ON BOARD. IT
REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE.
BUT I DON’T BELIEVE WHETHER HAD
ANYTHING. TO DO WITH IT
YESTERDAY. HERE WE ARE ON A
MONDAY NOW AND WE’VE GOT LOW AND
MIDDLE SEVENTIES ALL OVER THE
PLACE AND YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE
DIFFERENCE IN THE AIR OUT THERE,
THANKS IN PART TO A LITTLE WIND
OUT OF THE WEST NORTHWEST,
DRAWING IN JUST MORE OF THAT
COMFY STUFF. NO MORE HUMIDITY,
AT LEAST FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.
DRY AIR IS BATTLING SHOWERS OFF
WAY TO OUR WEST AND SOUTH, SO
ALL WE REALLY EXPECT IS A LITTLE
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVERS WE HAD
THROUGH THE REST OF YOUR MONDAY
76 NOW ON OUR WAY TO ABOUT 80
COMFORTABLE DEGREES AND EIGHT
DRY MONDAY AS WELL. WE DO HAVE
SOME WET WEATHER IN THE SEVEN
DAY, OF COURSE, WERE FORECASTING

SEE YOU IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.
HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS ARE INTO

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT 900 DELEGATES FROM
LOCAL UNIONS ALL ACROSS THE US,
CANADA AND PUERTO RICO DEBATING
AND VOTING ON CHANGES. IT’S ALL
HAPPENING AT HUNTINGTON’S PLACE
IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT, THERE’LL BE
NOMINATING INTERNATIONAL

AND VICE PRESIDENT. YES SO THIS
IS A CONVENTION THAT IS HELD
EVERY FOUR YEARS. SO WELCOME TO
DETROIT. INDEED, THE OAKLAND THE
OAKLAND COUNTY CLERK AND
ELECTIONS DIVISIONS ARE TESTING
OUT ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AHEAD
OF THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS NEXT
MONTH. THE TESTING WILL HAPPEN
ALL DAY LONG AT THE OAKLAND
COUNTY COURTHOUSE IN PONTIAC.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE ARE ON HAND
MAKING SURE TEST BALLOTS ARE
TABULATED CORRECTLY. WE’RE TOLD
THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS TESTED
BEFORE EVERY ELECTION TO ENSURE
ACCURACY AS WELL AS SECURITY. WE
HAVE CONTRACTED WITH 19 OF OUR
COMMUNITIES TO TABULATE THEIR
ABSENTEE BALLOTS FOR THEM, AND
THAT HELPS OUR LOCAL CLERKS THAT
ALLOWS THEM TO FOCUS ON THINGS
LIKE SAME DAY VOTER REGISTRATION
. UM YOU KNOW, FOCUS ON THEIR
PRECINCTS, THINGS LIKE THAT, AND
IT CAN BE A COST SAVINGS FOR A
LOT OF FARMERS, MUNICIPALITIES
AS WELL. AND OAKLAND COUNTY
OFFICIALS ALSO SAY EQUIPMENT
TESTING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SO
ANYONE CAN ATTEND TO WATCH THIS
IMPORTANT PROCESS. BUT WITH NO
MORE PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
INVESTIGATING THE JANUARY 6TH
CAPITAL SIEGE IS CONSIDERING ITS
NEXT STEPS. AMONG THOSE THE
COMMITTEE STILL WANTS TO HEAR
FROM THE WIFE OF CONSERVATIVE
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CLARENCE
THOMAS. LET’S GET TO CHRIS
POLONIA JOINS US FROM WASHINGTON
WITH MORE ONE THING WAS
ACHIEVING PRESIDENT PUBLIC
HEARINGS OVER FOR NOW. BUT THE
COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE
JANUARY 6TH CAPITAL RIOT IS
STILL WORKING. FLOODGATES HAVE
OPENED. WE THOUGHT THAT THE
HEARING THIS WEEK WOULD BE THE
FINAL HEARING, BUT SO MANY MORE
WITNESSES HAS COME FORWARD. ONE
POTENTIAL WITNESS THE COMMITTEE
WANTS TO HEAR FROM CONSERVATIVE
ACTIVISTS. VIRGINIA THOMAS, WIFE
OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
CLARENCE THOMAS. IF WE NEED TO,
WE WILL SUBPOENA HER AND GET THE
INFORMATION. WE’RE NOT OUT. TO
GET ANYBODY. WE’RE OUT TO GET
INFORMATION AND GET THAT
INFORMATION TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE. THOMAS HAS COME UNDER
SCRUTINY FOR MESSAGES SHE SENT
TO FORMER TRUMP CHIEF OF STAFF
MARK MEADOWS, QUESTIONING THE
2020 ELECTION RESULTS INTO
REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS IN ARIZONA
, WHOM SHE REPORTEDLY PRESSED TO
HELP OVERTURN THE TRUMP ELECTION
LOSS. COMMITTEE MEMBERS KNOW
SERVING THOMAS WITH HIS SUBPOENA
TO TESTIFY WOULD BE
CONTROVERSIAL, BUT INSISTS IT
MIGHT BE NECESSARY IF THEY HAVE
INFORMATION OR ROLL. IN EFFECT
OVERTURN ELECTION YES, THEY’RE
NOT EXCLUDED FROM EXAMINATION.
THE COMMITTEE ALSO WANTS TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO SECRET SERVICE
TEXT MESSAGES FROM JANUARY. 5TH
AND SIXTH CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
IS UNDERWAY TO FIGURE OUT WHY
THOSE MESSAGES WERE APPARENTLY
DELETED. SO WE WANT ANSWERS TO
THAT. THURSDAY’S PRIME TIME
HEARING FOCUSED ON FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S INACTION FOR
MORE THAN THREE HOURS AS HIS
SUPPORTERS OVERRAN THE CAPITAL.
HE CONTINUES TO INSIST HE DID
NOTHING WRONG. THEY’RE COMING
AFTER ME BECAUSE I’M STANDING UP
FOR YEARS, THE FORMER PRESIDENT
EATING ONCE AGAIN THE LIE. THE
ELECTION WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN
FROM HIM. THE COMMITTEE’S NEXT
PUBLIC HEARINGS WILL BE IN
SEPTEMBER. LEADERS SAY THEY
HAVEN’T DECIDED YET WHETHER THEY
WILL MAKE CRIMINAL REFERRALS TO
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WHEN
THEIR WORK IS DONE. IN
WASHINGTON. CHRIS PALLONE, NBC
NEWS ALRIGHT, CHRIS. THANK YOU.
ALSO MAKING HEADLINES. PRESIDENT
BIDEN CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
HEALTH WISE DOCTOR SAYS THAT HIS
COVID SYMPTOMS ARE IMPROVING
SIGNIFICANTLY AND THERE WAS A
LOT OF RELEASED ON SUNDAY WERE
DR KEVIN O’CONNOR REPORTS THAT
THE PRESIDENT’S MAIN SYMPTOM NOW
IS A SORE THROAT AND THAT HIS

DIMINISHED CONSIDERABLY.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS HAD HIS
THIRD FULL DAY OF PAXIL VIVID

TREATMENT WELL, HIS SYMPTOMS ARE
ALSO BEING TREATED WITH ORAL
HYDRATION TO MEDICINE AND A
BEAUTIFUL AND HEYLER OR NEED AS
NEEDED FOR OCCASIONAL COUGH. HE
HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY
SHORTNESS OF BREATH AT ALL, AND
WILL CONTINUE LOW DOSE ASPIRIN
AS AN ALTERNATIVE TYPE OF BLOOD
THINNER. AND DR O’CONNOR SAYS
THAT THE B A FIVE VARIANT IS
PARTICULARLY TRANSMISSIBLE SO
PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL CONTINUE TO
ISOLATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
CDC RECOMMENDATIONS. MEANWHILE
FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN THE
LAST THREE YEARS, THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION IS DECLARING
YET ANOTHER GLOBAL EMERGENCY.
IT’S SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT A LOT OVER THE
PAST FEW WEEKS, MONKEYPOX AND
THE CASES HAVE SPREAD RAPIDLY IN
A MATTER OF WEEKS ACROSS DOZENS
OF COUNTRIES, INCLUDING HERE IN
THE US, BLAINE ALEXANDER HAS
MORE WITH CASES RAPIDLY ON THE
RISE THIS MORNING, THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION IS SOUNDING
THE ALARM ON MONKEYPOX DECLARING
THE VIRUS A GLOBAL HEALTH
EMERGENCY. WE HAVE AN OUTBREAK
THAT HAS SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD
RAPIDLY THROUGH NEW MODELS OF
TRANSMISSION ABOUT WHICH WE
UNDERSTAND TOO LITTLE. THE LAST
TIME THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION MADE THIS
DESIGNATION WAS JANUARY OF 2020
IN RESPONSE TO COVID 19. RARELY
LETHAL, BUT DEEPLY PAINFUL.
MONKEYPOX HAS SPREAD THROUGH
CLOSE DIRECT CONTACT, CAUSING
LESIONS AND SORES. THIS IS
OCCURRING IN A POPULATION OF
PRINCIPALLY MEN WHO HAVE SEX
WITH MEN AND BISEXUAL MEN. BUT
NOW THE CDC HAS CONFIRMED TWO
NEW CASES IN CHILDREN ONE IN
CALIFORNIA, A SECOND IN
WASHINGTON, D C. EXPERTS SAY A
RARE BUT CONCERNING DEVELOPMENT
. THIS VIRUS IS NOW GETTING INTO
FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES IT CAN
SPREAD. IT TO WOMEN AND IN CLOSE
FAMILY CONTACTS, WHERE THERE IS
A LOT OF HUGGING AND KISSING
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE NUMBERS
ARE STEADILY RISING. LESS THAN
TWO WEEKS AGO, THE CDC LISTED
JUST OVER 1400 CONFIRMED CASES
NATIONWIDE. NOW THAT NUMBER HAS
NEARLY DOUBLED WITH CASES IN ALL
BUT FIVE STATES. THE NATION’S
EPICENTER NEW YORK, WHERE NEARLY
900 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INFECTED,
JEFFREY GOLAY’S IS ONE OF THEM.
MY PAIN LEVEL IS EXCRUCIATING.
HE’S NOW PART OF A CLINICAL
TRIAL, TAKING AN ANTIVIRAL
MEDICATION FOR THE PAIN, HE SAYS
. GETTING TREATMENT HAS BEEN
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. WE DON’T GET
AHEAD OF IT. NOW IT’S GOING TO
BE TOO LATE. SO FAR, VACCINES
HAVE BEEN IN LOW SUPPLY, WITH
PEOPLE WAITING IN LONG LINES,
HOPING TO GET THE SHOT SOMETHING
THAT BIDEN MINISTRATIONS IS
PROMISING TO ADDRESS WE’RE GOING
TO BE RELEASING HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF MORE VACCINES IN
THE NEXT DAYS AND WEEKS. THAT
WAS BLAINE ALEXANDER REPORTING.
OF COURSE, WE’LL KEEP YOU
UPDATED AS MORE INFORMATION
