THEIR INNOCENCE WILL BE GETTING
NEW INFORMATION IN THE NEXT 60
MINUTES. WE’LL HAVE AN UPDATE ON
LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE. ALRIGHT
LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT WEATHER.
WE WERE COASTING ALONG FOR A
LITTLE BIT WITH THAT FAIRLY MILD
TEMPERATURE UNTIL NOW, TODAY WE
ARE IN A BITTER COLD SNAP THAT
YOU CAN FEEL IN YOUR BONES. IF
YOU SPEND TIME OUTSIDE. HERE’S A
LIVE LOOK AT DOWNTOWN DETROIT.
DON’T LET THAT SON FOOL YOU. IT
DOES FEEL NICE OBVIOUSLY TO SEE
IT OUT THERE, BUT TEMPERATURES
ARE BELOW FREEZING. KIM ADAMS IS
STANDING BY TO SEE HOW COLD IT
COULD GET TONIGHT. I WAS
OUTDOORS, SHOOTING A STORY KIM
HURT. NO, THAT SUNSHINE IS A
LITTLE DECEIVING. BECAUSE YOU
THINK, OH, IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE
WARM DAY. NO, AND YOU ONLY NEED
TO BE OUTSIDE FOR 5 TO 10
MINUTES BEFORE YOU REALLY START
TO FEEL IT. IF YOU’RE OUT FOR
20, YOU ARE AT RISK OF FROSTBITE
. SO IT IS ONE OF THOSE
AFTERNOONS. IT’S GOING TO BE ONE
OF THOSE NIGHTS TONIGHT. 10 IS
THE CURRENT WINDCHILL IN
PONTIAC. THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE FIVE IN ANN ARBOR EIGHT IN
HOWELL. TOMORROW WE START OUT
THE DAY COLD ONCE AGAIN WITH A
MORNING LOW OF EIGHT. NOW THIS
MORNING, WE WERE AT FIVE DEGREES
. SO THIS IS SLIGHTLY WARMER.
BUT I MEAN, WHEN WE’RE TALKING A
MATTER OF DEGREES HERE FIVE OR
EIGHT DOES NOT MATTER. IT IS
STILL DANGEROUSLY COLD TOMORROW
MORNING. NOW WE WILL HAVE A LOT
OF SUNSHINE. THE DIFFERENCE.
TOMORROW’S WILL GET UP TO 24
DEGREES. TODAY WE ONLY MADE IT
INTO THE UPPER TEENS SO SLIGHTLY
WARMER TOMORROW WITH THE HELP OF
ALL THAT SUNSHINE, THEN WE’LL
HAVE A BRIEF WARM UP. IT LOOKS
LIKE FOR THURSDAY AND THEN EVEN
COLDER THAN TODAY. ON FRIDAY,
I’LL HAVE MORE ON THE COLDEST
NIGHT OF THE WEEK AHEAD. COMING
UP IN YOUR FORECAST. ALRIGHT
THANK YOU. KIM IN OTHER NEWS

FELONY ASSAULT THAT TOOK A PLEA
DEAL FOR MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT AND

HIM TO ONE YEAR OF PROBATION AND
80 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.
THE AGREEMENT ALSO REQUIRES
CRUMB TO WRITE A LETTER OF
APOLOGY TO MICHIGAN PLAYER WHO
WAS ASSAULTED LAST FALL ONCE
CRUMP FINISHES PROBATION. THE
LAW DOES ALLOW THE CHARGES TO BE
WHITE. FROM HIS RECORD. IT’S A
WIN WIN SITUATION FOR GENERAL
MOTORS, THE AUTO GIANT HAS
EXCEEDED WALL STREET
EXPECTATIONS, AND IT’S PUTTING
SOME BIG BUCKS AND WORKERS BANK
ACCOUNTS GM IS REPORTING ABOUT
$157 BILLION IN REVENUE THAT IS
A RECORD HIGH THAT INCLUDES A

SPECIAL REPORT TONIGHT AT FIVE
HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BREATHING
A SIGH OF RELIEF TODAY AFTER ONE
OF THEIR OWN, TAKES A STEP BACK
DURING AN ONGOING POLITICAL
SCANDAL PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT NEW
YORK CONGRESSMAN JORGE SANTOS,
WHO HAS BEEN UNDER FIRE UNDER
INVESTIGATION EVEN PARODIED ON
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE KIMBERLY
GAIL LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM WITH
SANTOS DID TODAY. KIM KAREN.
GOOD AFTERNOON TODAY, THE
REPUBLICAN HEALTH THAT THE
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, I SHOULD
SAY, SAYS HE’S TEMPORARILY
STEPPING DOWN FROM HIS TWO
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES UNTIL
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS
SURROUNDING HIM AND HIS
CAMPAIGN. ARE RESOLVED. THE
ANNOUNCEMENT COMES A DAY AFTER
SANTOS HAD A PRIVATE MEETING
WITH HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN
MCCARTHY. SANTOS WAS ASSIGNED TO
LOWER PROFILE COMMITTEES
INVOLVING SMALL BUSINESSES, PLUS
SCIENCE, SPACE AND TECHNOLOGY.
BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN LIVID AS
MCCARTHY DENIED SOME ASSIGNMENTS
TO THEIR MEMBERS, WHILE ALLOWING
SANTOS TO SERVE WHEN HE’S UNDER
INVESTIGATION, SANTOS IS FACING
NUMEROUS QUESTIONS OVER HIS
PERSONAL FINANCES, CAMPAIGN
FINANCES AND APPARENT LIES ABOUT
HIS RESUME AND FAMILY
BACKGROUND. SANTOS HAS SAID HE
WON’T RESIGN. THE HOUSE SPEAKER
HAS REFUSED TO JOIN THE CALLS
FOR SANTOS TO STEP DOWN. HERE’S
A COMMENT SPEAKER MCCARTHY MADE
TODAY. MHM VOTERS HAVE ELECTED
HIM. HE’LL HAVE A VOICE HERE IN
CONGRESS UNTIL HE CANCERS ALL
THOSE QUESTIONS THEN HE’LL AT
THAT TIME HE’LL BE ABLE TO BE
SEATED. A NEW POLL IN THE NEW
YORK DISTRICT THAT SANTOS
REPRESENTS SHOWS HE HAS LOST THE
SUPPORT OF MOST VOTERS THERE.
THE SURVEY WAS DONE A WEEK AGO
AND SHOWS 78% WHO RESPONDED WANT
HIM TO STEP DOWN. IT ALSO LOOKS
AS IF HE’S LOSING THE CONFIDENCE
OF HIS OWN PARTY 71% OF THE
RESPONDENTS WHO IDENTIFIES
REPUBLICAN ALSO SAY SANTOS
SHOULD RESIGN. KAREN WILL BE
KEEPING AN EYE ON THOSE
INVESTIGATIONS FOR NOW. WE’LL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU IN THE
STUDIO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU,
KIM. WELL, OUR BIG COLD SNAP
SIGNALS THE BEGINNING OF A MAD
RUSH TO TURN SIMPLE KINDNESS
INTO LIFE SAVING SERVICES TODAY
PAULA TUTMAN AND PHOTOJOURNALIST
JOEL DIENER EMBEDDED WITH A
NONPROFIT THAT ACTIVELY SEARCHES
FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE TRYING TO
KEEP THEM SAFE POLITICS AND
JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM SAINT
CLAIR SHORES TO SHOW US EXACTLY
WHAT SHE SAW TODAY. A TOUGH DAY
OUT THERE, PAULA YEAH, IT REALLY
IS HIGH. KIM. HI, EVERYBODY.
EXCUSE ME. KAREN IS THAT COLD
OUT HERE? HI, KAREN. KIM ADAMS
METEOROLOGIST WAS TALKING ABOUT
THE WIND CHILL AND MY PARTNER
AND I CAN FEEL EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF THOSE DIGITS. THE
DIFFERENCES. WE ARE DRESSED
WARMLY. WE CONDUCT INSIDE A WARM
CAR OR A WARM BUILDING. MY BRAIN
IS ACTUALLY FROZEN. IT’S JUST
THAT COLD OUT HERE AND THIS IS
WHY WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE
PEOPLE WHO CAN’T GET INTO
SAFETY. MOTOR CITY MITTEN
MISSIONS. SAINT CLAIR SHORES
KITCHEN HEADQUARTERS. THE DAY
STARTS PREPARING FOOD FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE HOMELESS. THIS IS A
REGULAR DRILL, NO MATTER WHAT
THE THERMOMETER SAYS. BUT ON
DAYS LIKE TODAY, WHEN THE
TEMPERATURE STARTED OFF IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS, THE WORK IS EVEN
MORE CRITICAL. IT GOES FROM
SIMPLE CARE AND KINDNESS TO
POTENTIALLY LIFE SAVING. A LOT
OF PEOPLE DON’T HAVE SHELTER
RIGHT NOW. THE VAN IS LOADED AND
THEY’RE OFF. YEAH WHAT’S UP?
BUDDY? PASSED NO. ONE. A SHORT
JOG FROM THE DETROIT GOLF CLUB.
A CARE PACKAGE IS LEFT FOR A MAN
WHO HAS LEFT HIS HOME FOR A
BRIEF MOMENT. HIS HOME BENEATH
THE SNOW CAP OF A TRUCK THAT
APPEARS TO ONLY WORK TO PROVIDE
SHELTER. THEY LEAVE FOOD, WARMTH
AND A BUS PASS. THEY KNOW THE
SIGNS AND SIGNALS MOST OF US
MISS. SOMETIMES IT’S UM WHAT
THEY’RE WEARING AS FAR AS LIKE
THERE’S CERTAIN COATS, ALSO WITH
, UM THE TYPE OF BACKPACK SET
PEOPLE ARE CARRYING. IF THEY
HAVE MULTIPLE BAGS OFF OF
MCNICHOLS, YOU MIGHT BE DRIVING
AND MISSED THE GLINT OF COLOR ON
THE SIDEWALK. THAT’S SOMEONE’S
HOME. YOU GOT SOME FOOD FOR YOU
GUYS. STEPHEN HAS SERVED HIS
COUNTRY DURING THE VIETNAM WAR,
HE OWNED A BUSINESS HOME CARE
AGENCY. OH IRONIC, BUT LOST
EVERYTHING AFTER A STROKE. HE’S
NOT EVEN SURE HOW EVERYTHING BUT
HIS VEHICLE. THIS IS HIS HOME.
AND LAST NIGHT HIS HOME RAN OUT
OF GAS, WHICH MEANS HE LOST HEAT
. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I
WOULDN’T WISH ON MY WORST ENEMY.
YEAH, BECAUSE THIS IS, UH THIS
REALLY TERRIBLE WHEN WE MET HIM,
THE TEMPERATURE HAD FINALLY
CREPT UP TO 18 DEGREES. LONG
DRIVE FROM WHICH CAVE, YOU KNOW
, AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.
CITY MITTEN MISSION GETS HIM
GAS. AND GET THEM GOING, AND
THEN THEY KEEP GOING BECAUSE
THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE TO BE
FOUND MOST OF THE PEOPLE, TOO,
THAT WE DO ENGAGE WITHIN A
REGULAR BASIS. WE ARE TRYING TO
CONNECT THEM WITH HOUSING
SERVICES OR WITH MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE,
TREATMENT AND MEDICAL SERVICES.
HEY KAREN. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU
COULD TELL HOW STEPHEN WAS
TALKING. HE WAS FREEZING BY THE
TIME THEY GOT TO HIM THIS
MORNING. HE WAS FREEZING. THANK
GOODNESS THEY GOT TO HIM. AND
THEY’RE ALREADY BACK OUT THERE
AT IT. THANK GOODNESS KAREN
DOING SUCH IMPORTANT WORK AND IT
