FIRST
FIRST TIME MARKING NOW ON SUNRISE POTENTIAL NEW EVIDENCE
GEORGE FLOYD CASE.
AND PROSECUTORS DON'T WANT
THE PUBLIC TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED
AND VIDEO OF A PREVIOUS ARREST
THAT MAKES IT SO IMPORTANT
IN THIS CASE. PLUS, A SPLIT
SCREEN SHOWDOWN WE BREAK DOWN
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN'S
DUELING TOWN HALLS AND WHEN
THEY'LL MEET FACE TO FACE AGAIN
BEFORE THE ELECTION. FULL TIME
PARENTS PART TIME TEACHERS
WITH A LOT OF KIDS STILL
LEARNING FROM HOME, PARENTS
ARE TAKING ON NEW ROLES. WE'VE
DOWNLOADED FIVE APPS TO HELP YOU
AND THE KIDS MOVE TO THE TOP
OF THE CLASS
>>. PLUS, THE STAGE AT FIRST
AVENUE HAS BEEN EMPTY
FOR MONTHS. BUT THIS WEEKEND
THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE. THE PUSH
TO SAVE THEM AND YOU WHILE
KEEPING MUSIC LOVERS SAFE
>>. ALL RIGHT . A LIVE LOOK
OUTSIDE A CALM MORNING IN
THE METRO. MAYBE A LITTLE
COLD FOR SOME THOUGH, BUT SNOW
IS AROUND THE CORNER FOR AT
LEAST SOME PARTS OF MINNESOTA.
YES, S WORD. LET US KNOW IF
YOU'RE READY FOR THE FLAKES BY
TAXI SEVEN SIX THREE SEVEN
NINE SEVEN SEVEN TWO ONE FIVE.
WE'RE READING YOUR COMMENTS ALL
MORNING LONG. I THINK
>> OUR UNOFFICIAL POLL OF THE
FOUR OF US SHOWS THAT WE'RE NOT
OFFICIALLY READY. BUT I KNOW
A GUY YOU'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE
EXCITED BECAUSE IT MEANS
SOMETHING ELSE TO FOUR.
>> I GET THE GOONIG. NO. YEAH.
AND IT'S POSSIBLE AGAIN LATER
THIS MORNING . SEE IF YOU
SPOTTED SHOWERS AND MAYBE
SOME EMBEDDED FLURRIES FOR SOME.
SO I JUST DROPPED THE F WORD
RIGHT THERE. THIRTY FOUR YOU'LL
SEE WINDS SOUTHWEST NINE MILES
PER HOUR FEELS LIKE 20 SEVEN. SO
DRESS FOR THE UPPER 20S. RADAR
WILL SHOW THAT AREA SNOVER SOUTH
EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA,
CENTRAL PARTS OF MINNESOTA,
SOUTH OF ALEXANDRIA. THAT'S
TRACKING SOUTH AND EAST.
AND AGAIN, THOSE ARE FLURRIES
THIS MORNING ON RADAR. BUT AS
TEMPERATURES WARM UP , WE'LL BE
IN THE LOW 40S AGAIN. MOST OF IT
WILL BE SOME SPOTTY
>> SHOWERS LATE THIS MORNING .
ALL RIGHT . THANKS, GUY. AND WE
ARE TRACKING A CRASH THIS
MORNING ON 35W NEAR LAUDERDALE.
SO HEADS UP IF YOU'RE IN THAT
AREA, YOUR BROADWAY STREET
TO 80S RIGHT THERE. SO HEADS
OTHERWISE NOT SEEING ANY OTHER
CRASHES ON YOUR ROADS. WE'RE
TRACKING BREAKING
TRACKING BREAKING NEWS OVERNIGHT. TWO FIRES,
ONE IN RICHFIELD, THE OTHER
IN MINNEAPOLIS AND THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE TAKING YOU RIGHT NOW. SO
TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCENE A SHORT
TIME AGO ON THE 20 700 BLOCK
OF 17TH AVENUE SOUTH. TOUGH
TO SEE ANY DAMAGE, BUT CREWS
WERE ON THE SCENE FOR A COUPLE
OF HOURS AND REPORTED FIRE ON
MULTIPLE FLOORS AND THEN TAKE
A LOOK AT THE DAMAGE FROM
A GARAGE FIRE IN RICHFIELD. THIS
IS NEAR THE 70 100 BLOCK OF 13TH
AVENUE SOUTH. THE GARAGE WAS
DESTROYED AND SO WAS A CAR
PARKED INSIDE. IT LOOKS LIKE
A HOME HAD MINOR DAMAGE. NO
REPORTS OF ANY INJURIES.
>> DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
GEORGE FLOYD DEATH CASE.
THE JUDGE YESTERDAY ALLOWED
VIDEO OF A PREVIOUS ARREST
OF FLOYD TO GO PUBLIC.
JENNIFER AUSTIN JOINS US
WITH WHY THIS VIDEO IS NOW BEING
CONSIDERED.
CONSIDERED. >>? YES. SO THE JUDGE HASN'T
DECIDED YET WHETHER THIS VIDEO
WILL BE SHOWN AT TRIAL.
RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST BEING
CONSIDERED PART OF FORMER
OFFICER THOMAS LANE'S MOTION
TO DROP CHARGES. SO HERE'S WHAT
THE VIDEO SHOWS. IT SHOWS
MINNEAPOLIS POLICE ARRESTING
FLOYD DURING A TRAFFIC STOP
IN TWENTY NINETEEN. IN IT AN
OFFICER ORDERS FLOYD TO SHOW
HIS HANDS SEVERAL TIMES, GETS
PRESSED, RAIDED AND PULLS
HIS GUN BRIEFLY JUST LIKE
OFFICER THOMAS LANE DID IN MAY
IN THE PRIOR ARREST. OFFICERS
FIND DRUGS ON FLOYD AND SAY THEY
SAW HIM SWALLOW DRUGS, WHICH
LANE'S ATTORNEY EARL GRAY CLAIMS
HE DID IN MAY AND LED TO HIS
DEATH. GRAY ARGUES THE VIDEO
SHOWS A PATTERN AND HURTS
THE PROSECUTION'S NARRATIVE.
WE SPOKE WITH A LEGAL EXPERT
ABOUT THE VIDEO AND WHAT IT
MEANS.
MEANS.
MEANS. >>
MEANS. >> ONE OF KEY DEFENSES HERE IS
CAUSE OF DEATH. THERE'S GOING
TO BE AN ALLEGATION
THAT PROBABLY THAT CONTRIBUTED
TO HIS DEATH WAS THE INGESTION
OF NARCOTICS. AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED ON MAY SIX TO 19
>>, PROSECUTORS ARGUED AGAINST
USING THIS VIDEO. THEY SAY
IT'S IRRELEVANT AND COULD
INFLUENCE THE JURY AGAIN.
THE JUDGE HAS NOT DECIDED
WHETHER IT WILL BE SHOWN AT
TRIAL, BUT THAT LEGAL EXPERT
THAT WE SPOKE WITH SAID
OBVIOUSLY NOW THAT IT'S PUBLIC.
THERE IS A DANGER THAT A
POTENTIAL JUROR COULD SEE IT.
CHRIS GIA. YEAH, DEFINITELY.
AND WE'LL HAVE TO SEE IF THAT IS
ALLOWED IN THE TRIAL THAT COULD
BE A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT. THANKS
A LOT, JENNIFER . ON
THE PROSECUTION SIDE. THE STATE
IS ALSO ASKING THE JUDGE
TO CREATE A TWO DAY DELAY ON
FILINGS. THIS WOULD GIVE THEM A
CHANCE TO REVIEW IT. JUDGE PETER
KAY HALE DENIED THAT REQUEST
BUT ASSURED THEM HE SEES EVERY
FILING IN THIS CASE BEFORE IT
GOES PUBLIC AND THAT THERE IS
A CHANCE TO HAVE A COURT HEARING
IF IT'S DISPUTED. A BIG DECISION
TODAY AT CITY HALL COULD IMPACT
HOW YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS KEPT
SAFE. IN THE MATTER OF HOURS,
THE CITY COUNCIL IS EXPECTED
TO VOTE ON A RESOLUTION TO SPEND
MORE MONEY SUPPORTING COMMUNITY
SAFETY ENGAGMENT EFFORTS.
THAT INCLUDES PAYING TO TRAIN
UNARMED CIVILIAN TEAMS TO PATROL
THE STREETS.
THE STREETS. >> WELL , TONIGHT HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL TEAMS ACROSS THE STATE
WILL TAKE THE FIELD FOR A SECOND
WEEK. HOWEVER, SOME TEAMS WON'T
BE SUITING UP . STATE HEALTH
OFFICIALS ARE SAYING BLAEN
HIGH SCHOOL MAPLE GROVE SENIOR
HIGH PARK CENTER, I.B. WORLD
SCHOOL AND BROOKLYN PARK
AND CHANHASSEN HIGH SCHOOL HAVE
ALL REPORTED OUTBREAKS IN THE
PAST TWO WEEKS. AND THIS COMES
AS WE SEE ANOTHER BIG DAY
OF CASES OF COVERED STATEWIDE
SNOW COVER WALLS CALLING
THE MIDWEST A KOBAN HOT SPOT.
AND HERE'S WHY . TAKE A LOOK.
MDH REPORTING THE EIGHTH
STRAIGHT DAY WITH MORE THAN
ONE THOUSAND NEW CASES WITH MORE
THAN ELEVEN HUNDRED YESTERDAY
IN THAT TWO WEEK AVERAGE. YEAH,
OF COURSE IT'S BEEN GOING
UP AND NOW IT'S GETTING CLOSER
TO TWELVE HUNDRED PER DAY. ALL
THIS IS VERY CONCERNING ALONG
WITH NEIGHBORING WISCONSIN, IT
SHATTERS PREVIOUS DAILY RECORDS
MORE THAN 30 700 NEW CASES
YESTERDAY. NOW THAT STATE IS
AVERAGING MORE THAN TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED NEW CASES A DAY WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THIS TWO WEEK AVERAGE
RIGHT HERE. AND ACCORDING TO A
RECENT WHITE HOUSE KORONA TASK
FORCE REPORT, WISCONSIN RANKS
FOURTH IN THE NATION FOR NEW
CASES. THAT'S ALMOST THREE TIMES
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
>>. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND JOE
BIDEN BOTH ANSWERED QUESTIONS
FROM AMERICANS LAST NIGHT
IN DIFFERENT CITIES, THOUSANDS
OF MILES AWAY IN OUR
DIGITAL DIVE. WE'LL LOOK AT
THE TOP MOMENTS FROM THEIR
DUELING TOWN HALLS. ALL RIGHT .
FIRST OF ALL, LET'S HEAD
TO MIAMI WHERE NBC SAVANNAH
GUTHRIE MODERATED PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S EVENT. SHE ASKED
THE PRESIDENT ABOUT
HIS CORONVIRUS SYMPTOMS AND IF
HE HAD PNEUMONIA. HE DIDN'T
ANSWER THAT QUESTION BUT SAID
HE DIDN'T FEEL GOOD. TRUMP HAD
A HEATED MOMENT WITH GUTHRIE
WHEN SHE ASKED ABOUT
HIS HESITANCY TO CONDEMN WHITE
SUPREMACY. THE PRESIDENT SAID
MULTIPLE TIMES LAST NIGHT
THAT HE CONDEMNS IT. THEN
GUTHRIE ASKED ABOUT
THE CONSPIRACY GROUP. Q AND ON
>> I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. I DO
KNOW THEY ARE VERY MUCH AGAINST
PEDOPHILIA AND AGAIN THEY FIND
IT VERY HARD BUT I KNOW NOTHING.
>> OK. THE PRESIDENT ALSO TALKED
ABOUT HIS TAX RETURNS, DACA
AND HIS SCOTUS NOMINEE SAYING IT
WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE TO TALK
TO AMY CONI BARRETT ABOUT
SPECIFIC CASES LIKE ROVERE
VERSUS WADE. NOW LET'S HEAD
TO PHILADELPHIA WHERE
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS SAT DOWN
WITH JOE BIDEN TALKING ABOUT
VACCINES. BIDEN SAID HE'D TAKE
AN APPROVED VACCINE BY THE END
OF THE YEAR AND ENCOURAGE
AMERICANS TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER
MOMENT. THAT LEFT SOME PEOPLE
CONFUSED WAS BIDEN'S COMMENTS
ABOUT THE 1994 CRIME BILL.
HE SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE
TO SUPPORT IT BUT ALSO BLAMED
STATES FOR HOW IT ROLLED OUT.
AND BIDEN ALSO ADDRESSED
THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT
HE WOULD SUPPORT PACKING
THE SUPREME COURT IF AMY BARRETT
IS CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE.
>> SO YOU'RE STILL NOT A FAN,
BUT I'M NOT A FAN. DON'T SAY IT
DEPENDS ON HOW THIS TURNS OUT.
NOT HOW HE WINS BUT HOW
IT'S HANDLED, HOW
>> IT'S HANDLED.
>> WENT ON TO SAY THAT DEPENDING
ON HOW BARRETT'S CONFIRMATION IS
HANDLED, HE'LL COME OUT WITH A
CLEAR POSITION BEFORE ELECTION
DAY. THE TONE BETWEEN BOTH TOWN
HALL IS VERY DIFFERENT THOUGH
ONE WHITE HOUSE REPORTER POSTED
ON TWITTER THAT A COWORKER SAID
FLIPPING THE CHANNELS WAS LIKE
GOING FROM A METALLICA CONCERT
TO BOB ROSS. DID YOU WATCH TRUMP
,BIDEN OR BOTH? LET US KNOW
WHAT YOU THOUGHT. USING
THAT HASHTAG SUNRISERS . AND IF
YOU WANT TO READ MORE ABOUT WHAT
THE CANDIDATES SPECIFICALLY SAID
AND DID LAST NIGHT. HEAD
TO KARE11. AND YOU GUYS ,
I'M CURIOUS IF YOU WATCHED AT MY
HOUSE. WE HAD TWO PHONES, YOU
KNOW, SWITCHING BETWEEN
THE LIVESTREAMING AND IT WAS
INTERESTING TO TRACK THE NUMBER
OF VIEWS BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE
OTHER PEOPLE WERE DOING
THE EXACT SAME THING. RISE
AND THEN GO DOWN TO THE OTHER
ONE . SO A LOT OF CLICKING BACK
AND FORTH. I WATCHED A BIT
OF BOTH. AND THEN I WENT TO THE
BASEBALL GAME
BASEBALL GAME >> AND WATCHED MNVOTES TOO.
BUT KIND OF THE SAME THINGS
THAT YOU'VE HEARD ALREADY. SO
NOTHING REALLY A BOMBSHELL OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT . RIGHT . ALL
RIGHT . THANKS. WELL ,
DEVELOPING THIS MORNING , JOE
BIDEN'S RUNNING MATE KAMALA
HARRIS IS TAKING PAUSE FROM
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. TWO
PEOPLE CONNECTED TO HER CAMPAIGN
HAVE NOW TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE
VIRUS. A FLIGHT CREW MEMBER
AND HER COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR,
HARRISON BIDEN HAVE TESTED
NEGATIVE. OUT OF PRECAUTION,
HARRIS IS CANCELING HER EVENTS
THIS WEEKEND. SHE'S STAYING HOME
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IT TOOK
MONTHS OF DEBATE AT THE CAPITAL.
BUT TODAY GOVERNOR WALZ COULD
SIGN THE STATE'S ONE POINT
NINE BILLION DOLLAR BONDING
BILL. TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF
THE PROJECTS IT WOULD HELP PAY
FOR . SO IN RAPIDS IT WOULD FIX
A CONGESTED RAIL CROSSING AT
THE U OF M MEANS A NEW CHEMISTRY
LAB BUILDING AND IN SMALLER
COMMUNITIES, CLEAN WATER
PROJECTS. LAWMAKERS ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE SAY IT
WILL CREATE JOBS FOR MINESOTANS
