DECISION TO HEAR ARGUMENTS THAT
QUICKLY COULD MEAN WE’LL HAVE A
DECISION ON THE LEGALITY OF THE

MILLIONS OF QUALIFIED BOWERS. IN
THE MEANTIME, STUDENT LOAN

BEEN PAUSED UNTIL THE COURT
BATTLE IS OVER OR LATE NEXT
SUMMER, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
WE’LL FOLLOW IT FOR YOU AND KEEP

PAGEANTRY OF THE WHITE HOUSE TO
WARM UP RELATIONS WITH THE
PRESIDENT OF FRANCE, EMMANUEL
MACRON, THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT,
AND FIRST LADY, OFFICIALLY
WELCOME MACRON AND HIS WIFE
EARLIER TODAY, THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME ROUGH SPOTS IN THE
ALLIANCE. SINCE BIDEN TOOK
OFFICE, BUT MACRON’S WILL BE
GUESTS AT AN OFFICIAL STATE
DINNER IN JUST A FEW HOURS.
KIMBERLY GILL FOLLOWING THIS
STORY FOR US FROM OUR NEWSROOM,
KIM KAREN GOOD AFTERNOON THAT
STATE DINNER IS THE FIRST OF THE
BIDEN PRESIDENCY. OF COURSE,
COVID WAS A BIGGER CONCERN WHEN
HE TOOK OFFICE ALMOST TWO YEARS
AGO AFTER THE OFFICIAL WELCOME
BIDEN AND MACRON HELD BILATERAL
TALKS WITH THEIR AIDES INSIDE
THE OVAL OFFICE. THEY TALKED
ABOUT SEVERAL KEY ISSUES RANGING
FROM THE WAR IN UKRAINE TO
CLIMATE CHANGE. TODAY BIDEN
ADMITTED THERE ARE GLITCHES IN
AMERICA’S NEW CLEAN ENERGY LAW
AND SAID THERE MIGHT BE TWEAKS
THAT COULD SATISFY AMERICA’S
ALLIES. MACRON AND OTHER ALLIES
HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT
THE PROVISION THAT FAVOR
AMERICAN MADE CLIMATE TECHNOLOGY
. OVERALL THE TWO LEADERS ARE
CELEBRATING AND ENDURING
PARTNERSHIP. FRANCE IS OUR
OLDEST ALLY. OUR UNWAVERING
PARTNER. AND FREEDOM’S CAUSE.
THE SPIRIT OF MARCUS DU
LAFAYETTE. WHO HELPED SECURE THE
SUCCESS OF OUR REVOLUTION. TO
THE SACRIFICE OF AMERICAN G. I S
WHO STORMED THE BEACHES OF
NORMANDY. OUR HISTORY HAS BEEN
SHAPED BY THE COURAGE OF THE
WOMEN AND MEN. WHO CROSSED THE
ATLANTIC. KIND WITHIN THEIR
HEARTS. THE FLAME OF LIBERTY.
SOURCES SAY. TONIGHT’S STATE
DINNER WILL BE HELD UNDER A TENT
ON THE SOUTH LAWN OF THE WHITE
HOUSE WILL HAVE MORE ON THE
STATE VISIT WHEN YOU JOIN US FOR
LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE. UNTIL
THEN, WE’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU
IN THE STUDIO. KAREN ALRIGHT, WE
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. KIM
STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. BUT
THERE IS A SMALL SIGN INFLATION
MAY HAVE STARTED TO COOL DOWN
TODAY. THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT
SAYS THE PERSONAL CONSUMPTION
EXPENDITURES INDEX WAS UP 6% IN
OCTOBER. THAT’S DOWN SLIGHTLY
FROM THE 6.3% INCREASE REPORTED
FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. THE
FEDERAL RESERVE LIKES TO WATCH
THE P C E BECAUSE OF HOW IT
PRESENTS CONSUMER PRICE
INFORMATION. STILL THAT HAS SAID
IT WOULD LIKE TO GET INFLATION
DOWN TO JUST 2% WOULDN’T WE ALL
RIGHT, IT LOOKS LIKE DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS HAVE REACHED A
DEAL TO PASS LEGISLAON TO
FORCE RAILROAD WORKERS TO ACCEPT
A CONTRACT. THAT FOR UNIONS HAVE
REJECTED. STILL, ANY SINGLE
SENATOR CAN SLOW THE PROGRESS
AND SOME SAY THEY’RE NOT SOLD ON
THE IDEA. BUT ONE LEGITIMATE
QUESTIONS BEING ASKED. NOW, ARE
WE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING WHERE
CONGRESS WILL FOREVER BE
SETTLING THE DISPUTES THROUGH
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION? I THINK
THAT’S A BAD PRESIDENT AND
SOMETHING THAT RESONATES WITH
ME. THE UNIONS ARE FIGHTING FOR
SICK PAY. THE CONTRACT ONLY GAVE
THEM ONE DAY THE HOUSE PASSED A
SECOND BILL, GIVING THEM SIX
MORE DAYS. THE SENATE HAS TO
PASS BOTH TO AVERT A STRIKE
STRIKE DEADLINE. DECEMBER 9TH.
TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO REMIND YOU
IT IS WORLD AIDS DAY AND WHILE
THERE HAS BEEN PROGRESS IN
BATTLING THE DISEASE EXPERTS
POINT OUT AWARENESS IS STILL SO
CRITICAL WHEN EXPERT SAYS PEOPLE
STILL NEED TO KNOW THEIR HIV
STATUS AND SHOULD BE TESTED IF
THEY HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE
THEY MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED, HE
SAYS. YOU CAN TRACE 40% OF NEW
INFECTIONS TO PEOPLE WHO WERE
ACTUALLY UNAWARE OF THEIR OWN
DIAGNOSIS. THE DOCTOR STRESSES.
THERE ARE TREATMENTS THAT HELP
PATIENTS LIVE NORMAL LIVES, BUT
WE NEED TO NORMALIZE TESTING AND
MAKE SURE EVERYONE CAN RECEIVE
HIV CARE. FANS OF THE VOICE
ALREADY KNOW ABOUT BRANDON ROUX
LATE IF YOU ARE NOT WATCHING,
MAYBE NOW IS THE TIME TO START
ROOTING FOR THE SINGER WHO COMES
FROM GRASS LAKE MICHIGAN, RIGHT
OUTSIDE OF JACKSON LAKE JUST
ADVANCED TO THE SEMIFINALS, AND
OUR KIM DEGUILIO DROVE OUT TO
GRASS LAKE TO SEE WHERE BREADING
GETS THAT COUNTRY CHARM AND HAS
SUITED HIM SO VERY WELL ON THE
SHOW. GRASS LAKE HAS A
POPULATION OF JUST OVER 1000
PEOPLE. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE
EXCITEMENT HERE WHEN ONE OF
THEIR OWN IS GIVING THE VILLAGE
OF GRASS LAKE NATIONAL
ATTENTION. HOME. IMAGINE THAT
YOUR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND NOW
PERFORMING IN FRONT OF A
NATIONAL AUDIENCE AND THE VOICE
REPRESENTING TEAM BLAKE SHELTON
, MAN. THAT’S MY BUDDY. RIGHT
THERE. HE’S CRAZY. WELL, THAT’S
THE CASE FOR BRYANT COOK, WHO’S
BEEN BEST FRIENDS WITH BRANDON
SINCE BEFORE HE CAN EVEN
REMEMBER LIKE I STILL THINK OF
HIM AS JUST MY SMALL TOWN,
BUDDY. WE PLACE ALL OUR SPORTS
TOGETHER. AND NOW HE’S EVERYONE
KNOWS HIM, AND IT’S THE CRAZIEST
THING TO ME. BRYANT REMEMBERS
THE FIRST TIME HE AND BRANDON
TOOK A MUSIC CLASS TOGETHER.
SUDDEN COUPLE DAYS WENT BY AND
HE IS PLAYING LIKE SONGS AND I’M
JUST CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND HE’S
LIKE ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD AT IT,
WHICH ISN’T SURPRISING. JUST ASK
ONE OF BRANDON’S FOOTBALL
COACHES, CHRIS RULE, EVERYTHING
COMES SO EASY TO HIM. HE’S JUST
A NATURAL ATHLETE. AS A
SOPHOMORE, BRANDON IS DIVERSITY
QUARTERBACK HERE AT GRASS LAKE
HIGH, AND EVEN LAST YEAR AS A
FRESHMAN, HE WAS ALL CONFERENCE
IN BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL BRAIN
TAKES EVERYTHING IN GREAT STRIDE
. NO MOMENTS TOO BIG FOR HIM.
HE’S EVEN OUT ON THE FOOTBALL
FIELD. HE’S CALM AND COLLECTIVE
MEMORY. THE SITUATION. LET’S BE
HONEST, BRANDON SOUNDS LIKE A
TOTAL CATCH. BUT SORRY, LADIES
HE’S TAKEN. WHAT DO YOU LIKE
ABOUT BRANDON? UM I MEAN HIS
LOOKS AND HIS BEAUTIFUL
GIRLFRIEND, EVA VEBLEN HAD BEEN
DATING FOR TWO YEARS. I THINK
WITH SOMEONE WHO’S SO GOOD AT
EVERYTHING LIKE ALL THESE
DIFFERENT SPORTS LIKE FOOTBALL,
BASEBALL BASKETBALL, WHO CAN
ALSO SING WHO IS ALSO ATTRACTIVE
. I THINK YOU COULD VERY EASILY
, YOU KNOW, GET VERY COCKY AND
LIKE, GET IN YOUR HEAD, BUT HE’S
NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL, SAYS
BREEDING DESERVES THIS MOMENT.
HE LOVES MUSIC, AND YOU CAN TELL
HE’S IN HIS ELEMENT WHEN HE’S ON
STAGE. BRANDON’S FRIENDS AND
COACH SAY THAT WHEN HE RETURNS
HERE TO GRASS LIKE HE’S STILL
GOING TO BE THE SAME OLD BRANDON
KIND, CARING AND HUMBLE, THEY
SAY HOLLYWOOD HASN’T AND WON’T
CHANGE HIM. ONE BIT REPORTING
AND GRASS LAKE. I’M KIM DEGUILIO
LOCAL 4. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU,
KIM, BY THE WAY, THE NEXT
