the other end of the extreme. the salary for the boston red sox, almost $230 million. the cubs and the red sox among the highest payrolls this season. neither qualified for the playoffs. by the way, the giants payroll, they shelled out a lot this season. but they were fifth overall. there was quit ts morning a 10:00 in a strip mall in emeryville. a mom ran inside a taco bell restaurant leaving her car running with her four-month-old baby inside. the car was gone when she came back. a person on a scooter jumped into the car and took off. fortunately, the baby was found safe a short distance away. >> child was located in west oakland, 28th street. the person who took the vehicle stopped, dropped the baby off and proceeded on with the

's do nothing. i was sued st i can' on the ballot in the state of california. >> secretary of state alex

padilla said ella peel the judge's ruling. he added the law is to preserve and protect democracy. we're joined by jackie spear. a lot to talk about. thanks for coming in. >> sure. good to be with you. >> let's start with the news of the day and obviously the president is irritated with the leadership in the state of california. what does this mean as we go forward given what seems like the ever-present threat of federal funds being withheld from a variety of projects? >> there's a pattern with the abuse that the president levels against california. withholding gas tax money now,g we should have dirtier air because he doesn't want to have a california-only car. in erms it of auto emissions. now the most recent one about our homelessness here in san francisco. part of it is to try and poke at gavin newsom, our governor, the speaker of the house, nancy

pelosi. the chair of the intelligence committee, adam schiff. so it's all designed with a purpose in mind. it's very unpresidential. it violates lots of laws that you are supposed to be providing equal protection under the laws and here, clearly, he's trying to take out -- take it out on californians. we're a blue state. we didn't vote for donald trump for president, so we're fair game in his way of looking at life. >> let's talk about the impeachment inquiry because we're in kind of uncharted territory here. how do you think this plays out? >> i don't know how it plays out. we need to go where the facts lead us. i think it's very important for us that serve on the intelligence committee to look at this in the cold light of day to be very focused on it. this is a very sober moment and what ist take it as such. eing charged by

this whistle-blower is really fundamentally against every principle that we hold in this country. it violates the federal elections code, it violates the abuse of power component of impeachment which is one of the bases on which you -- it shows that the president is willing to betray the constitution and his oath of office for political gain. >> so let me ask you this. if the evidence becomes overwhelming, do you think that we might see a nixonesque type scenario where other members of the republican party look at the situation and say, all right, this is untenable and we can no longer support this president and then there's an unraveling that would take place heading into the 2020 elections? >> there hasn't been a lot of profiles in courage on the republican side. they're looking at polling. if the polling starts to show they're going to lose their own elections, you might see them step forward. i think what we have here is

much like the nixon administration, there's a criminal enterprise under way in hae w our ouse. country. we've got to protect our national security and we've got to follow the constitution. >> one more item i want to get to. bernie sanders canceled campaign event, was treated for a heart ailment. had two stents put in. his campaign temporarily on hold. how do you think this will play itself out in terms of his health in the long run for the 2020 campaign and will his age and health become more of an issue going forward? >> i don't think it will become an issue. because he's pretty vigorous on the campaign trail. the stents are fairly common now with older patients and patients respond very well to them and move on with their lives. i don't know that this will be the factor that would somehow

sideline him in a campaign. >> a temporary setback. and you expect he would be back on the campaign trail relatively soon? >> i think we can expect that. >> congresswoman spear, thanks for coming in. >> thank you. all right. let's turn our attention to the weather. starting to feel more warmth out there. spencer christian is here with the latest. >> you're right. wa right now. we had nice autumn cooldown. the 24-hour temperature change begins to tell the story. we can see that it's several degrees warmer in most locations right now than at this time yesterday. 7 degrees warmer in novato and livermore. the warming trend is under way. here's a live view from sutro tower under sunny skies. 63 degrees in the city right now. 72 in oakland. redwood city 74. 75. gilroy 79. 62 at half moon bay. the view from aerial looking at clear western skies.

was. >> homeless. >> no. >> local businesses don't seem to bother it either by the existence of the center. >> they're not a problem. >> why has this navigation center been successful? be fair. it's a distance from homes. unlike the center opening along the embarcadero. also the smallest with under 60 beds. the embarcadero one will have 200. the central waterfront one is operated by episcopal services which has experiences with shelters in the city. the people who live at the center can come and go as they please but are made aware that they, too, are members of this community. >> this community has been an incredible example of what we can accomplish. >> just as important is the relationship between the center and neighbors. >> it takes our staff working hand in hand with leadership in

the dog patch neighborhood to hear their concerns, to understand their concerns, to respond as quickly as we possibly can. >> this letter written by the dog pch neighborhood association, the dna would welcome a second three-year lease term at the current site. in the next paragraph, the association says since opening, the central waterfront navigation center has been a good neighbor, well-maintained and invaluable resource in addressing encampments in our neighborhoods. neighbors have realized that this center is a viable way to keep people off the streets. >> so far the most part, people can stay there for six months. 24% of the people who left the center moved into permanent housing. now, that doesn't mean that the other 76% failed. it's just that the city doesn't have enough housing for even those who are ready to make that transition. that's disappointing not only to them but also to the staff. ins newsroom, lyanne lyanne lyae
