3:29 pm
felt in 14 states around. 4.8 magnitude. just a short time ago we're being told by the u.s. geological survey that a 4.0 after shock was recorded in gladstone, new jersey, roughly the same vicinity. that was at 5:59 p.m. eastern time. that's the strongest of the aftershocks we've felt so far. there have been several throughout the day, but none of them really noticeable. people didn't really feel them. you can look at the information, that's what happens when you get a big after shock. experts tell us they will happen for at least the next 24 hours, likely the next 48 hours. this is the strongest earthquake the northeast has felt, in many cases, hundreds of years, which is why a lot of seismologists are looking around, okay, what is going on here, and why are they getting these types of
3:30 pm
earthquakes in the northeast? we should also note, this earthquake was about maybe three miles deep. that's a really shallow earthquake, which is why it was felt over such a wide area. when you're talking about shallow earthquakes, the shallower, the more dangerous. you take a blanket. if you're doing a blanket and making a bed, that's what happens with the shallow earthquakes. they do that to the landscape which is why it was felt over a vast earthquake. deeper earthquakes that are stronger, are absorbed by the earth making they will less potent unless it is a huge earthquake and the deeper it is, the wider the area it's felt. breaking news continues on that. we'll keep you up to speed. new legal trouble for sean diddy combs that has to do with a lawsuit filed against his son. jeff is live from los angeles with more on this. >> we just got our hands on this
3:31 pm
31-page lawsuit. the latest chapter in a series of lawsuits filed by combs and one following his son. filed on behalf of a crew member aboard a yacht that was leased by combs and his family back in december 2022. she was 25 at the time. lawsuit claims, in the early morning hours of december 28, christian combs started pressuring to take shots of tequila. she assaults that she was sexually assaulted, grabbing parts of her body and forcing her to perform oral sex. they claim to have audio recordings of some of these interactions. we should point out, sean combs, who is seen in some of these photos on-board that very yacht right around the same time period, you see here, isn't
3:32 pm
accused of any sexual assault in this suit, but was included for liability. sean and christian's lawyer released a statement saying in part, we have not seen this woman's claim but i'm sure we can expect the same kind of manufactured lies. now, it was just last week when police and federal agents raided two properties owned by diddy. one in california, the other in florida. his son was presents. diddy, who has been accused of sex isual assaults has not been charged has not been charged with a crime. >> the squatter crisis is moving west. seattle area taxpayers are paying rent, shack up in a $2 million suburban home. now some residents pushing back. dan springer has the story from bellevue, washington. residents in this pricey neighborhood in bellevue,
3:33 pm
washington, with views of seattle, are fighting back against what they call a government funded squatter. saying he moved into this $2 million home in september 2022, with a reported yearly income of $400,000. but after one month, he stopped paying his $4,400 rent. the landlord has filed three successfully eviction cases but each time kim has been failed out by taxpayers. >> injustice. justice delayed. justice means denied. free tax payer's money given to this guy. the tax payer money fighting against me. >> kim is being supported by the housing justice project, a nonprofit branch of the king county bar association. it's getting $16 million in government funding this year and it's now used that to pay singh $88,000 in back rent, allowing singh to avoid eviction.
3:34 pm
>> i don't think this could have happened. how could he live without paying rent for a year and a half? so, i'm very sad and angry. >> it's not the first time for kim. according to court documents. he also lived in this $1.6 million house a mile away for two years without paying rent before being evicted. the owner was out more than a hundred thousand dollars. singh's lawyer says since kim moved into his clint's house he's bought two new cars and both his wife and son have jobs. the lone republican on the council is calling for changes. >> the pendulum has swung so far that trying to help tenants, even serial squatters are getting tens of thousands of dollars of tax payer money to keep him in the house. doesn't make sense. >> counsel member is calling for an audit to be done on the housing justice project. we contacted that group today,
3:35 pm

3:42 pm
products you need call, click or stop by granger for the ones who get it done. well, as americans prepare to choose the next president, there are many lessons to be learned from past presidents. tonight we are doing just that with a noted author and historian. my colleague bret baier talks to talmadge boston about his new
3:43 pm
book and how we can use wisdom from our greatest leaders every day. trace, thanks. this evening, we're going to discuss what we can learn from some of this country's most significant leaders. america is today the strongest, the most influential , and most productive nation in the world. man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable. we weren't just marking time. we made a difference. three of them. there joining us tonight is author talmage boston. his latest book is called how the best did it leadership lessons from our top presidents. talmadge, good to see you. congratulations. great to be here, brett. it's a it's a really interesting read. and it really gives it paints a picture about what are the qualities of these different leaders that led to their success. yeah. the target audience for the book is anybody who is or aspires to be
3:44 pm
a leader in any field running a company, running a law firm, running a network, running a nonprofit. and to be able to take these timeless leadership traits exhibited by these eight top presidents, and for the reader to think about how can i start using those traits for my repertoire to be a better leader? so the idea is applied history. it's great to know history. it's even better to apply it to daily living. i've been a big fan of history and writing about it, learning about it. i like the way you present this. what would america's best presidents say to us now? jfk, you right to be in the best position to lead the country requires recognizing that final decisions about how best to address crucial issues often involve moral imperatives, and not just political considerations. each one of these men had a certain viewpoint it. but you take that to say how you could use it in your life, right? of course, kennedy made those remarks in the context of civil rights. that was one of the great
3:45 pm
moments of his presidency, when, after birmingham and the fire hose blasts on the children and the attack dogs on the adults he got on television that night and said, this is no longer a political issue. it's a moral issue. we are confronted primarily with a moral issue and soon thereafter submitted this strong civil rights bill that lyndon johnson ultimately pushed through for the civil rights act. but presidents have got to be to be successful and to be recognized historically, high integrity, great communicators, great organizers. but above all, self-awareness. know your strengths, know your weaknesses, and where you're weak. bring in people who are strong, who can make you better . all right, here's another one. what would america's best presidents say to us now? ronald reagan, if a principled president has strong, long, firm convictions and a clear vision for effectuating a brighter future, nothing can stop him from achieving his goals. reagan was one of them. well, reagan said that in the context of his lifelong commitment to defeating communism, to winning the cold
3:46 pm
war, his long time vision to achieve that objective, which over the course of his presidency, he succeeded in mr. gorbachev tear down >> mr. gorbachev. tear down this wall. >> a big part of it was not only his elians as a speaker but also his inherent optimism and the gift of inspiring optimism in others that made america remind itself of our exceptionalism. as well as the long term vision and commitment to follow through, good things will happen. >> we're getting ready for six months that will probably be pretty dark at times and pretty back and forth and negative ads. what do you take from this book to what we're about ready to face in this general election? >> i think much of the coming months toward the november election are not going to make us feel great about america. and yet we need to feel great about america. and i think the best way to do that is to read our rich history. read about how our greatest presidents achieve what they
3:47 pm
did, had the success they did and remind ourselves that we're all human beings. it's possible now and in the future, if we'll just adhere to these basic traits of integrity. k relationships with those across the aisles. that's what makes government work. that's what makes for elective leadership and hopefully in the future we'll see more of that than we've seen in recent years. >> it's a good read. >> thanks so much for having me. >> thank you. continuing coverage now with breaking news, we talked act the earthquake that hit the northeast earlier this morning. 4.8 magnitude. it was felt over 14 states. significantly felt in places like new york city and new jersey, and connecticut. and now we've been told just a short time ago about 5:59 eastern time, the biggest of the
3:48 pm
aftershocks just hit. 4.0 magnitude. there have been several aftershocks throughout the day. this was the biggest one. seismologists trying to figure out if there might be bigger ones coming. they do believe these aftershocks will continue in some capacity for the next 24, maybe 48 hours. it's notable this earthquake, the epicenter was in new jersey, what was relatively shallow, in fact, it was very shallow just about three miles below the surface. anything to, say, 30 miles, extraordinarily shallow and the more shallow an earthquake is, the stronger it's felt on the ground above. we'll continue our coverage on the earthquake and more as special report continues. in the meantime up next the friday lightning round. the biden administration, israel policy and presidential race. and later, notable quotables. to me, harlem is home.
3:49 pm
but home is also your body. —last one everyone. i asked myself, why doesn't pilates exist in harlem? so i started my own studio. getting a brick—and—mortar in new york is not easy. chase ink has supported us from studio 1 to studio 3. when you start small you need some big help. and chase ink was that for me. earn up to 5% cash back on business essentials with the chase ink business cash card. make more of what's yours. it was just a regular monday... -hey! -when suddenly... can you get this board to tony hawk? fedex presents tall tales of true deliveries. i needed a miracle... so i went straight to where miracles happen... social media. hey did someone say miracle? let me see that. so, i got the board to tony... and he even sent one back. but in the future, i'm gonna need an address and a zip code. if this is what we did for a skateboard, see what we can do for your business. fedex.

3:52 pm
if you have wet amd, you never want to lose sight of the things you love. some things should stand the test of time. long lasting eylea hd could significantly improve your vision and can help you go up to 4 months between treatments. if you have an eye infection, eye pain or redness, or allergies to eylea hd, don't use. eye injections like eyla hd may cause eye infection, separation of the retina, or rare
3:53 pm
but severe swelling of blood vessels in the eye. an increase in eye pressure has been seen. there's an uncommon risk of heart attack or stroke associated with blood clots. the most common side effects were blurred vision, cataract, corneal injury, and eye floaters. and there's still so much to see. if you are on eylea or a similar type of treatment, ask your retina specialist about eylea hd today, for the potential for fewer injections. >> quick update. the earthquake was a 4.8 magnitude centered in new jersey, it was felt over a wide area. in fact, some 14 states felt some of the rumbling and the shaking because of this earthquake. and a sort time ago. the biggest after shock, 4.0. a lot of seismologists are
3:54 pm
baffled because it's win of the bigger earthquakes, maybe the biggest earthquake to hit the northeast in hundreds of years. there was a significant earthquake back in 2011 that also had the epicenter of new jersey, not quite as strong, not felt over quite the area, and there will be aftershocks, we're being told that could last for 24, maybe 48 hours. maybe the bit longer. the 4.0 was the strongest one we've felt yet and the concern becomes will there be more of that magnitude and also quicker other earthquakes. if you don't know, you see the plates, they bump against each other and when they cross and go upwards that's what causes the earthquake. one goes on top of the other and it disrupts the whole system and that's why seismologists are at the scene and doing some research to find out exactly how rare this really was, and look
3:55 pm
to see how it might happen again. of course, as we've pointed out, throughout this program, the more shallow the earthquake is, this one was roughly 4 1/2 kilometers, three miles or so, that's very shallow. the shallower the earthquake is the more it's spread out on the land, which means the further it felt. and this one, as we said, felt over 14 states. that's significant. the deeper you go, and there have been earthquakes, hundreds of miles deep, but the deeper you go as a rule the less the earthquake is felt. unless it is a strong earthquake and then, of course, if it's a medium earthquake, it can be felt over a significant period, and do significant damage. we'll keep you up to speed on that. >> my support for israel's security is rock solid and
3:56 pm
unwavering. >> we're willing to reconsider our own policy approaches here. depend end upon what the israelis do or don't do. >> the israelis have taken the right steps. they should have been given some credit to it as opposed -- [inaudible] >> let's bring in our panel. the chief political correspondent for the washington examiner, reporter shelby -- and daniel -- of politico. thank you y'all for coming on. byron, to you first, if you look at what's happened over the past weeks and several days it appears that this pressure from the far left is affecting the president because he appears to be moving away from israel. would you agree? >> absolutely. israel has a growing problem with the parts of the u.s. government that are headed by democrats. meaning the white house, the executive branch and the senate. a lot of democrats have already been uneasy with israel's tactics in gaza.
3:57 pm
and this sort of accidental three-part and very lethal attack on aid workers seems to mark a turning point. you have democrats putting conditions on aid to israel. the senate passioned this bill, problem in the house was supposed to be ukraine. it still is but israel is a bit of a problem now, too. >> it really is. the "wall street journal" editorial board writes the following, biden exploits a tragic israel mistake. mr. bide has mostly resisted pressure from the left to cut off israel an denied the weapons and needs to defeat hamas but in the wake of this tragic israeli mistake and while interestingly goes on high alert for an iranian attack he threatens to reverse even that support. if he does so he'll send the wrong message to our friends and especially our enemies in the middle east. i mean, israel really has kind of tape the blame when the blame is deservedly israel's, and in this case, they have taken the
3:58 pm
blame for this. they are trying to fix it. what do you make of the editorial board's statement. >> i think it's really interesting because i think it's important to underscore what you just said which is that israel has taken responsibility for these situations, and i think israel recognizes in this moment that their support, when i comes to the united states, and joe biden, is on really thin ground, and so they are recognizing that, and that's going to be really important for them moving forward, and as for joe biden, i think it's notable that he's been under pressure for months not just from factions and members of the progressive democrats, but from his own voters. his own voter base has been protesting him for months over his support for israel and that's growing. >> i want to play this sound because this is martha mccullum and john curry talking about the hit on the convoy, the aid convoy versus what happened in afghanistan three years ago, the
3:59 pm
united states, watch. >> these are events that happened three years apart, two different set of circumstances. >> they aren't that different, though, john. >> i understand the outcome -- >> but -- this was a trigger moment, it appears, for the white house. >> i think it would be imprudent to try to compare these things that happened. >> we're out of time because of breaking news. thanks for coming on. appreciate it, byron, shelby and daniel. we would usually bring you notable closeables but we want to close out the week by congratulating bret baier. he's one of 11 being inducted into the nonprofit educational organization, honoring outstanding individuals and the encouragement of youth to pursue their dreams through higher
4:00 pm
education. it's bestowed upon exceptional leaders. the organization says recipients personify the american dream and their life experiences are proof that with perseverance and unwavering belief, belief that anything is possible in our country through the free enterprise system. of course, bret could not be here tonight because he is at this year's ceremony. now, he was also one of the co-hosts of last year's awards. bret said "i am deeply honored to become
