frank, julie? >> so amber, you are in san francisco. it has been about an hour since the earthquake hit in walnut creek, did you feel it in san francisco? >> we were in our news van at 10:33. i spoke to someone parked behind us, he says he fel shaking, but we did not feel it in the news van. >> anybody coming out on the streets, anybody talking about it that you know of? >> no, most of the businesses here are closed. there is not a lot of people around. >> ever, thank you. >>> again, it seems like what hit the most was close to the epicenter. the pictures of the damage we are getting seem to be in that east bay area. we talked to amber, barely felt it. we talked to san jose, barely felt it. most of the other people we have been hearing from say it was a large jolt. we got some cracked walls and what's not. there we go. actually, can you guys get this picture of the chandelier again? it is on my computer here. harry anderson sent me this. this is actually the one that i think is-->> the stand out the most. >> yeah, the scariest of what w

frank, will he be a factor? >> frank: i wouldn't use him unless i had to.pitcher. 2014, we saw what happened with madbum. for me, he's never been the same. gerrit cole, it's a business decision and a pride decision. hopefully he's able to get one or two outs late in the ball game if they use him. that's the only way i'm going to use gerrit cole tonight. >> alex: if we have to, what do you think it's spring training in march? it's game 7. >> frank: es $350 million on the line, best pitcher in baseball. i'm not going to get them hurt. >> alex: i'm trying to win. 1995, randy johnson threw 117 pitches and then came back and threw 44. he did it again with arizona. it's not time for the agent to manage. if gerrit cole closes tonight's game and opens the bullpen, this place will go crazy and it will be a great way to finish her free-agent year. >> frank: let's hope it's 15 to 20 pitches and nothing else. >> david: bring that camera here. bring that camera here. are you serious? >> frank: biggest free agent on the market. >> david: you play to win the game. >> fran

plus, frank figliuzzi, is here. frank, let's start with you. i wanted to talk to you about all these developments today. talk to me about mike pompeo's exposure in the story, someone who was listening in on the phone call, the capacity as this country's secretary of state, heard the american president mention eight times based on gene's paper's great reporting, ukraine, we know in a transcript released by this white house that the president asked for a favor, though, and we also have a lot of data points that show that military aid was held up before it was released. what do you see in mike pompeo today? >> oh, so many things to talk about. so, nicolle, one of the things we -- this is how fbi agents refer to what pompeo did the abc news clip you played. called deception by omission. when you're interviewing the subject and see the halting language, the hesitation, nervous laughter, then they just forget to tell you that, actually, you know, although i haven't seen the i.c., i.g. report, i was in the room. so they just leave that out and it's ev

brent: frank hofmann in munich. frank, thank you very much.l, there is bad news for german chancellor merkel party -- merkel's party. most of its voters lost went to the far right afd party. reporter: the left party had a lot to celebrate, with the state premier. the party took first place and is set to continue in government, but they were not the only one celebrating. the far-right afd doubled its results from five years ago. but for the parties that make up the ruling coalition in berlin, strained smiles where the order of the day. chancellor angela merkel tried to put a good face on it, but the disappointment with the formally marginalized parties was clear. >> the polarization with the far and centerleft linking up with the greens on one side and the far-right in an extreme form headed by the lead candidate has really increased and struck us hard. >> if all of the parties in the political center, the greens, the social democrats, and us are so clearly losing public confidence while the margins have grown so strong, then a lot hahas change

he joined frank fits in 28 scene but is really getting into good this season. and playing. as is this man well spoken out without valve a cause. i want to improve because i know it's really important it couldn't welcome to kick off. a glimpse into the soul of a strike i. just want to. see. much when i'm bring spargo last time that's. cool so i'm playing and i'm scoring goals i feel me part in this. consultancy ensues but lately to this league a breakthrough just a jump for frank 1st off of the some of the founders of rabbit shield which. was mario playing. with the fans in the game and just putting the ball in the front of the i've resolved. that this season is different in different ways to play because we are playing more with the ball we are playing more football style that clearly suits than 25 year old portuguese from i'm sincere a school 5 goal so far from the on track side use current form could well put them into contention for the champions league he's played his way onto the list of friends 1st time favorites already. not least by knuckling down to the local lingo

texas, independent line, you are on the air with frank bowman. good morning. >> good morning and thank you for taking my call. i wanted to speak to the issue of fairness that has been raised by some republicans. you had on your program ken starr sitting in the same share this gentleman is sitting in and ken starr was proud to say he investigated bill clinton for five years. their investigation was the equivalent of the mueller investigation and it lasted for five years and came back with 12 indictments after five years. also, the investigation was led by republicans, which of course was the opposite party of bill clinton. now we have the mueller report, which lasted less than two years and was republicans investigating a republican president, handed it over to a republican attorney general, who without letting anyone see the whole thing, made the conclusion, which turns out to be false, that there was no obstruction of justice. i wanted to speak to the fairness thing. in the mueller report, it came back with over 20 indictments in less than two y

frank said singh is best known internationally for his science fiction novel the swarm where nature starts punishing humanity for its misty needs 1st published 15 years ago it now seems rather prophetic when you look at the current situation with climate change however right now frank said singh has put down the pan picked up the guitar and has abuse it project called taxi galaxy tell me why after this. scene in his helmet on stage in front of an audience he likes to entertain but also to shake people up in 2009 the author presented his thriller limit it's a mix of science fiction crime story and science like his most popular novel the swarm published in 2004 the bestseller about a threat from the depths of the ocean has been translated into 27 languages and made its author who study communications studies a very rich man. but chatting has still clung to a lifelong dream since the age of 15 he's wanted to be a rock star so finally at the age of $62.00 it's time for music and sexy but this time to punctuate sing has created a story for his audience one that like a spaceship transports them

frank took it upon himself to turn them away. he repeatedly stood up and opened himself up to hostile, incoming enemy fire, killing several german troops himself. but the germans, they also had tanks. and so using a combination of bazookas and anti-tank grenades, frank crippled four of those before rescuing five americans who had been pinned down by fire. so if you don't count his silver star and three purple hearts, frank was then awarded the medal of honor seven months later in the field in france. those of you who knew an old man name frank currey, tall, hard of hearing, rather stooped, curly, white hair, he was that francis s. currey who, on one day in 1944, was the very best of us americans. frank's death was confirmed to us by drew dicks, head of the medal of honor society, happens to be a medal of honor recipient himself from the vietnam war. our friend, frank currey's death, leaves 70 medal of honor living recipients and of that, only two men remain from the second world war. with that, that is our broadcast for tonight.

frank figliuzzi, let me ask you to pick up on that thread. those set of questions seem like they could pertain to just about anybody subpoenaed. did donald trump tell you to run through rudy giuliani, whether or not you gave military aid, for example, if you're the pentagon or the secretary of state, did ruth bader ginsburg tell you it was conditioned on dirt on the bidens? i mean, it would seem that if they're innocent of the quid pro quo, which is the trump white house goal post. it's in the necessarily to prove a quid pro quo to be impeached. but even on the question on which they are proclaiming their innocence, it would seem like if that were a true fact, there would be willingness to put all these witnesses forth to exonerate them. >> yeah. innocent people don't act like this. they don't resist and obstruct like this. i think perry could actually turn out to be a key to get us beyond giuliani. i see a scenario developing, as you set forth, where skrgiulian becomes the scape go. >> it's all his fault. he was out of control. i see perry a

. >> and i'm frank somerville. amber is in oakland. >> reporter: frank, the governor and others will gather here tomorrow morning the bay bridge as the back drop. they say the first of this kind warning system could present vent peep from getting hurt. >> the earthquake from 1989 is an event few people in the bay area will forget, en now, 30 years later. >> i lived in san francisco and it would've been helpful to know how to check in with other people. >> reporter: if you feel a quake -- >> reporter: the nation's first statewide quake warning system will be officially launched by governor newsom and others on thursday. it'll be the same system that issues amber alerts and an app called my shake. download the my shake app to get a warning when the earthquake shaking is headed your way. >> reporter: if a quake is at least a magnitude 47.5, people in the area will get a warning. >> drop, cover and hold on. >> reporter: the warning can come seconds before, during and after a quake, depending on how far you are from the

frank and julie? >> amber, thank you..com speaking of pg&e's website, they launched a new website tonight after the current site crashed yesterday and then was down again for most of the day. we tried logging on, got this error message with the old website. the new website also had issues, but now it seems to be up and running. >>> ktvu meteorologist kyla grogan is tracking conditions around the bay area. >> so this wind is a little late to its own party. we all expected to pick up earlier tonight. however, it is out there, it's an elevation, so let me show you what i'm talking about. it's getting windy if you are, for example come up on mount st. helena, where it's gusting 52 miles an hour. and even notice the oakland hills here, i just saw a rating of 27 miles per hour, so the wind is out there. it is just higher up than you might expect it to be at this hour. we come down to the surface, very different story. we are common most spot the only place that has wood is fairfield where they are gusting 3

frank, nice to see you. i will try to make it simple, markets were expecting a massive trade deal a couple of months back. benedict withggs truffles. they've take in truffles off and now it's just xfinity. now they are saying -- now it's just eggs and addict. scrambled eggs. frank: there is nothing to be excited about at the moment. deal coming but it also means the bigger issue will drag into next year, so verys not something to be optimistic about. there was one piece of good news, the expectation is very low. ,ompared to a few months ago now nobody is expecting that much. so that may be the only thing where we can be a little optimistic. yvonne: how is the best way to trade, then, given the last two hours it has been crazy. is there a way to be better positioned? comes i think when it from an equity point of view, it's not a reason to give up on equity investing or chinese equity investing. we have some overweight but there ischina, deftly some risk we need to hedge. it's not very complicated to hedge thi

frank siglusi. and veteran federal prosecutor and former u.s. attorney, barbara mcquade here with us in our new york studios. due to hometown advantage, barbara you get to go first. how sensitive a business is it for the southern district of new york, the justice department's office in new york often called the sovereign district of new york because of their power, how sensitive is it to look into a guy like rudy? and do you think they're looking into other things as well? >> it is unprecedented i think for a former u.s. attorney to be investigated by his or her former office. i'm sure it is considered a matter of very significant magnitude in that office. but they wouldn't undertake it if they didn't believe there were potentially serious violations of the law. mike schmidt mentioned the foreign agency registration act which means accepting money from a foreign government to lobby american politicians. that is some of the allegations of these two associates in the indictment that was filed yesterday. and so if he was implicated in that, he coul

frank: the ambassador is very kind.e did a marvelous job as the ambassador here and in his other roles, which speaks to the relationship between canada and the u.s. it is more than the personalities at the top, it is suchdeep and it will be for a long, long time. i think that if i was prime ministers judo, i do not think he needs advice from me, but i would follow something i would say every day, i had a little sign on my desk, even when i had all the seats, do not be obusive, do not be arrogant, d not let hubris cloud your judgment. governor as if you earned every single vote. and there is no present that does not need to be respected. in our case with china, i think we are making minor progress. a lot of work is going on in the background. i feel like the path goes through the united states to china and their reconciliation with china, including with huawei. the as canadians, i do not think that we should feel anything but proud, if i could use that word, that we have stood for the rule of law and have done the right

frank: we have capital markets. our plans andase more details and explain how we look at different business units and what will be the levers to bring us to the next level. forward to that capital market stay. thank you so much for joining us, president and group ceo of nordea bank. we appreciate your time. the wave of third-quarter results out this week are giving us an insight into the health of the global economy. just breaking, basf saying a trade war is weighing on operations. also that the u.s. is experiencing a slow down. joining us now is the group chief economist at societe generale. welcome to the show. great to have you with us. we are seeing moves like this coming through yesterday. caterpillar, some might say it just confirms what we already knew about the manufacturing slowdown, but we are seeing the global slowdown show up in earnings. what are you seeing in terms of the profit cycle and what that tells you about the pulse of the global economy? >> it is important we distinguish between different fact

frank figliuzzi, former fbi assistant director of counterintelligence. tim o'brien, executive ed titorf "bloomberg opinion." the "washington post" just got the first copy of that opening statement. i'm going to start with you, ashley parker. bill taylor seems to have delivered a real hammer to any denial, and i'm not sure how many details there are left on the field that there wasn't a quid pro quo. >> yeah, what you see in his 15-page opening statement, and we don't even know what he said yet in response to questions, he just lays it out very clearly. he said it became clear to him that there were two different channels of diplomacy, the normal and official one, and then this sort of shadowy inappropriate one led by rudy giuliani and more importantly, he says that it was also clear that the president was holding up two things, first of all, the aid, nearly $400 million in aid that ukraine desperately needed and a white house meeting between the ukrainian president and president trump, specifically in exchange for investigations into joe biden's son and

frank, joyce, and the table are back.rank, let me just kick it back to you and ask what could the crimes be if you had to make them up in your imagination. what could the crimes be? >> if i had to make them up which apparently is about to happen, we'd look at false statements, false statements to the court perhaps and a fisa affidavit perhaps to i.g. investigators. somehow it appears they're trying to attack the opening of the russian counter intelligence investigation itself and the tactics utilized. and they might be trying to attack the use of sources, human assets, during a presidential campaign. i know that a.g. barr seems very offended at the very notion that someone should be investigated during an actual campaign. so don't be surprised if you see attacks on how human sources were used, whether they start claiming entrapment, whether perhaps someone like george pop top list had something dangled in front of him that he bit on. but it still begs the question was the predication for the investigation adequate, and di

okay, whatever. >> to frank's point. john bolton has been around the block a couple of times, right? he's been in this game for decade. >> he's not exactly a dove either. >> no, he's not some naive idealist. for this to go so far for him to say enough and storm out in anger and compare it to a hand grenade and a drug deal is pretty telling. this guy's been through it. they wanted one thing. they wanted dirt. they wanted this investigation at whatever cost, at whatever arms they had to twist, at whatever norms, ethics and maybe even laws they had to break to get it. >> shimon, you have more reporting? >> all of this is starting to come out now. we have more. she, according to a source who is familiar with fiona hill's testimony, she told members on the hill today that she saw wrongdoing on -- related to the ukraine policy and she reported it. obviously this woman was there -- >> and she tried to report it to officials. >> right. >> including nsc council. >> she tried to report it to the national security advisers, to the

>> that is a good question, frank. they have been getting some donations, mostly water, and some food. they really said that one thing they have learned from the past fires is that if they get too many donations, it could be really difficult and a strain on their system. if people want to out of the kindness of the heart do something, a cash donation to red cross is the easiest way. >> jana katsuyama in santa rosa tonight. thank you. >>> today, governor gavin newsom visited with first responders who have been on the frontlines of the fire. >> this cannot be the new normal. we cannot absorb this year after year. we have experienced 10 of the worst fire seasons california's history, just since 2015. >> at the sonoma county fairgrounds, evacuation center, the governor met with evacuees and thanked firefighters for their work. statewide, cal fire said it responded to more than 300 wildfires in a 24 hour period over the weekend. the governor called them 330 saved. >>> they don't have no backup generators, they don't have no

to frank's last gasp winner off the bench against hoffenheim this was like. the feeling that i feel when i score because i know that. was disappointing to know about me because i can get things that i was 6 months out i think was a good way to start the car and. one of those moments when you just want to 6. i. haven't seen goals from that helps a fireball spurgeon's a european is made in his league campaign and he's not messing up the season. in a place of far from. strong. strong character. so let me enjoy. this very close this is it still. holds plugs number knowing their number one goal scorer a dutchman at holland in jenin and. i feel really good sitting with. myself. i've become a lot of respect just can be mild i just can't be. in germany so. now in the world sometimes. it's not always that easy he arrived in the summer of $28.00 straight down to business come the end of the season because it was the least joint school with one much they had much setting up thus no highlight. there is very cool security it is fair trade in the produce. you get the full

frank? >> we heard one of the people you interviewed saying he was wondering if the driver of the car had anything to do with either of those two groups, the person who shot the video.to be fighting. that was the same question i had, or police saying anything about that? >> reporter: police has not provided us much information. that is kind of a sense of what may have transpired here in downtown. perhaps it was somebody who may have been a part of that group and may have wanted to help to try to stop the fight by taking the matter into their own hands and using a car, which is unfortunately very sad. >> when you see that video, it is just mind boggling that i actually got up and walked away and he only has minor injuries. ♪ >>> a big difference this week in the weather forecast. not a lot of heat. we will see chances for sprinkles or maybe showers in the north bay on wednesday. those details are after the break. >>> a man shows up to a northern california police station with a body inside hi

frank, the question for you, what is going on? >> well, brian, we're missing something here.re is no logical reason for the president approving turkey's incursion into syria and abandoning our allies in the form of the kurds. and now as you just reported, now we see u.s. troops actually endangered by turkish incoming fire. how many u.s. soldiers will have to get injured? how many kurds will have to die? how many isis fighters will have to escape and make their way out of syria to pose a real present threat to us before some red line is crossed where these so-called sanctions actually kick in? we're missing the motivation for the president to do this and allow turkey to do it. it's like telling someone i approve of you blowing the doors off a prison as long as the guards don't get hurt and the inmates don't escape. it doesn't work that way. these sanctions are a warning that rings hollow. and i'm very concerned about a possible resurgence of isis. >> to frank, to phil, and julia before that, our thanks for hanging around tonight and taking our questions. coming up for us, anot

>> frank sinatra. >> jimmy: that's a pretty big star. did you get to talk to frank sinatra?rt from madison square garden where he was in the boxing rink. howard cosell introduced him. and i was asked at some point to get mr. sinatra listerine. we're at madison square garden. it's not like there's a listerine store in madison square garden. so i dutifully ran out and found a drugstore of some sort. this is before cvs. this is 45 years ago. and found listerine, went to his dressing room, knocked on the door, felt like i was about four feet tall. and a security person, who was about ten feet tall opened the door, yes? i said i have mr. sinatra's listerine. yeah, kid, wait a minute. the next thing i know, frank sinatra appears. what's your name? i told him my name. where are you from? i was born in brooklyn. the two of us are brooklyn boys. he said what do you do? i gave him my title, gave him the listerine. he handed me a fresh $100 bill. >> jimmy: wow. >> interestingly enough, at the end of the concert, everybody that worked on the concert got a gold cigarette lighter that sai

joining me is frank bruni, laura coates, and harry litman.ny, explosive testimony from this top diplomat. frank, i'll start with you. bill taylor. i just want to read a little more from him. i read a loot in the opening but i want to read some. "ambassador sondland tried to explain to me that president trump is a businessman. when a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, he said, the businessman asks that person to put up before signing the check." "pay up," excuse me, "before signing the check. ambassador volker used the same terms several days later." pay up before signing the check? that is the definition of -- >> quid pro quo, absolutely. it's amazing testimony. what you just read, he names who he's talking to. he says what they said. i mean, the specificity of this testimony is extraordinary. the sweep of this testimony is extraordinary. it all blows you away. and also, something we haven't noted enough, the tone of it is extraordinary. he's already being smeared by the white house as some radical bureauc

but let me start with you, frank figliuzzi. investigation focus on the white house lawyer who put this rough transcript in a server saved for code word intel and who it's also been reported that he took the meeting when the whistle-blower first approached her about his concerns. >> i think we would ask this riddle. when does an investigation become retaliation? because that's what this sounds like to me, nicole. it sounds like cover for going after the guy who trid to do the right thing, the guy who actually has to answer the question by saying you really incriminated yourself and compromised these calls. so they wouldn't see the light of day so what we could protect you from being accused of a crime. so if you don't want us to stick it in there, then we can release it publicly and let everyone see what you're doing here. so it looks to me a lot like retaliation. it looks like they are going to say -- here's where this is going to go. we found somebody who misused the classification system. this stuff was never top secret compa

talk there on the story corps in munich frank thank you very much. well there is bad news for german chancellor merkel's conservative party the c.d.u. it was trail in a regional election in eastern germany on sunday most of its voters that it lost went to the far right a.f.d. party. the left party had a lot to celebrate after its electoral showing in thuringia that by state premier botha. the party took 1st place and looks set to continue in government but they weren't the only one celebrating the far right f.t. led by b.n. hooka managed to double its results from 5 years ago. but for the parties that make up the ruling coalition in berlin strained smiles were the order of the day. chancellor angela merkel tried to put a good face on it but the disappointment over the victory of formerly marginal parties was clear. because in this people know this you have won the right station with the far and center left linking up with the greens on one side and the far right in the extreme form headed by each candidate has really increased and struck us apart. mu

the less of a circus, the more it helps them. >> let's get to the polls, frank rooney.hington post," george mason university poll. majority of americans 58%, say they endorse the opening of the house impeachment inquiry. on top of that 49% say the ho us should take more significant steps to impeach the president and call for his removal. >> yes. >> look at those numbers and also think we're about where republicans are, and do you think that will start to sway them? >> i think we've seen movement in this direction for a solid two weeks now. this is the third or fourth poll to come out and since the inquiry announced everything is moving in the direction of greater concern about donald trump and more open to impeaching him. that poll showed three in ten republicans supported the impeachment inquiry and close to two in ten republicans supported more like a vote to impeach. those are significant numbers. broke out the independents, independents very much in favor of the impeachment inquiry and impeachment, all incredibly relevant to november 2020. >> i think this is the sto
