imt to take you to altoona in iowa where joe biden has been speaking with reporters. he came out swinging against president trump's attacks on his son, hunter. >> have any consequence that anything was done wrong or illegally by me or my son. every major national, international and local news operation has looked into it has said it's a lie. this is a president flat lying, number one. number two, the statement my son put out today which i saw when he put it out, i was told there was one being put out. i did not consult with him about what was f being put out. in fact represents the kind of man of integrity he is and what in fact he has done and why he stepped down. and i can tell you now in if i am your president, next president, i'm going to build on the squeaky clean transparent environment we had in the obama bide white house and no one in my family or associated with me will be involved in any foreign operation whatsoever. period. end of story. now let's focus on the problem. the problem is we have a president who violated his oath. he's invited not just relating

zuckerberg, imt to commend you on statements you made on free speech and the first amendment. i was happy to hear you say you will quote continue to stand for free expression understanding its messiness but believing the longer journey is things that challenge us i remember what jon stewart wrote and i would commend it to my colleagues and my friend the chairwoman mr. mill wrote quote if all mankind minus one were of one opinion and only one person of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he if he had the power would be justified in silencing mankind and thissentiment is important and relevant to facebook especially in today's age of political correctness, accusations of offensive speech, safe places and the dramatic polarization of the political discourse. i find it highly troubling that politicians are trying to bully you to be a fact checker and to be the speech police especially in politics at the core of the first amendment. and so along those lines, imt to ask you a question about sensorship and whatever fact checking

other than be totally partisan, apart from the few lawmakers you talked about, when it comes to the imt inquiry? niall: not really is the short answer. it seems like a very partisan, porized moment in erica generally. congress reflects that. most members are more concerned about attacks from their own flank then appealing to the center ground. t laur president of course feels he has had a very good ek with the killing of t i.s. leader. but the polling suggests there isrowing public support at least for the inquiry, if not for his impeachment. niall: it does, and this is inscinating because his po numbers have been so static.t have seen clear evidence of erosion of the president's position, erosion of opposition to impeachment, and growing support for at least the inquiry even if not removal from office. kslaura: niall stanage, thor being with us. niall: thanks. laura: this weekend woe declared still the democratic front runner, but that ground y be looking a little bit shaky. his campaign has raised less money than his nearest rivals, and elizabeth breathing down his neck in the polls.

i'm the operation chief for imt 6.f explained it was a slight increase in the size of the innocent today. it's still broken into three large geographic areas. we call those our three branches. the day started on the slower side as an inversion lpshe fire growing. as soon as that smoke inversion raises and the heat picks up, the humidity continues to decrease. we normally do see an increase in fire behavior which we did you can see the area of fire. the rest of fire was active. firefighters were close to hold to the containment line. that concludes my report. >> thank you. >> thank you.ts. currently our evacuation orders that are in place are o talk p couple of small incidents. we know it's a difficult time to be evacuated from your home. we have had some aggressive people approaching our check points with the california highway patrol along with our sheriffs deputies. we want to reiterate we need do you be kind with our first respopdserr responde responders. we are there to help you and keep you out of the evacuated ar

behind me in the two red hats are two of the incident commanders from cal fire from imt 6.. we have the sheriff hessic here on my left as well as abbott. >> my name is there was a slight increase in the incident. it is still broken into three geographical areas. the day started on a slower side as an inversion layer held the smoke down. unfortunately, as soon as that smoke inversion raises and the heat picks up, the humidity continues to decrease, we normally do see an increase of fire behavior, which we did see today, and we expecting that behavior change. we did have a slight wind that did come out of the northwest, you can see the branch one area of the fire. you'll notice when we show an updated fire perimeter map the majority of the growth was on this branch one on the east flank of our fire. we don't have the exact perimeter at this time. that is currently being mapped and validated as we speak. the rest of the fire was extremely active. firefighters were able to hold very close to the containment lines as you'll see when the map comes up, around the other branches, n

any efforts to block that from happening would constituteir imt investigation. and said moments ago, any effort to intimidate witnesses or prevent them from talking to congress including state department employees is illegal and constitutes evidence of obstruction of the impeachment inquiry. in response congress may infer from this obstruction any withheld documents and testimony would reveal information that corroborates the whistle-blower complaint. now, reading between the lines, what they're saying here, jake, they're not, they don't have the patience tore a is a stafor a s with the trump administration. subpoenas issued, trump add min station not complying say and democrats don't want to go that route and suggest any efforts by pompeo and others in the trump administration to not give what they want, not turn over documents or provide testimony required by the subpoenas essentially could 0 amount to an impeachable offense, obstruction of congress being that impeachable fence is what democrats are saying. we'll see what ultimately ends up happening. witnesse

the stadium goes silent imt. >> at 5:04 p.m., october 17th, 1989, 5:00 producer, deb at candlestick park for the giants world series. >> all of a sudden someone's tv set, the size of a toaster, not like the ones today. there's a picture of the bay bridge and it's collapsed and it dawns on us, this is a major quake. that's when we start to leave. everyone times out. >> it took tdeb and her husband four hours to drive home. >> i knew that i was okay. i felt like, this is not the big one. frankly, i'm still waiting for it. >> transmission operator brian jones makes sure all our live shots make air. but 30 years ago, he worked at kaiser on gear i boulevard. >> when the earthquake happened, a lot of people were standing out in front of the hospital. i think people were trying to figure out where to go and what to do. >> so brian decided to help three co-workers who he met on the sidewalk and invited him to stay at his san francisco apartment since they couldn't get home to the east bay. two years later, he married one of those co-workers. >> it's a great memory. it really is. without loma pri

this property is not part of an imt. do they own other properties? >> i am not aware of any other properties that they own. just these three parcels right now. >> commissioner richards? >> i am in support of this project. just a comment, if this was a brown field and we were building a school, i doubt we would need to go through all these hoops. if you look at the actual case packet you see we are demolishing a unit which is something we need to approve as well as to amend planning code decisions as well as to make exceptions for dwelling unit exposure by simple parking all of which are livability issues. i just want the public to know we are not putting the school through some ridiculous process, it's how we get to this point to what we need to approve that's actually before us. i am absolutely fully supportive of the project and move to approve. >> thank you. i am also fully supportive of this project. i wanted to give kudos to the san francisco day school for providing housing for its teachers. i think it is hopefully the start of a trend. we don'

. >> imt to focus on one specific number and tell me if the white house is noticing this. cnn poll yesterday had 14% of republicans supporting impeachment and removal from office. that's up eight points since may. are you looking at the way those numbers are moving? are they concerned even if they're still small? >> a litting, but not overwhelmingly yet. they still feel the public doesn't want this. they're aware the trend lines are bad for them. the people around the president are aware as they try the form late a response to this inquiry and to this point, it's been fledgling outside the president's twitter account. he remains overwhelm bingly popular among republicans ch they feel like this will be something that won't grow more. the president, we know how sensitive he is to losing any bit of his base. >> he needs all of it in order to win re-election. >> he does. very little margin for error going forward next november. no question there. so i think that's something that's going to perhaps wear on him some. although we know that traditionally, he has the polls he likes

scenario has become a smaller probability and when we look at some of the soft economic data, the cen imt data, it's gone from constantly deteriorating to stumbling along a path so without getting too wonky, the second derivative is improving. i think that sentiment tilt is going to keep a balance in terms of what the fed's doing today and signaling. >> john bellows, what were you going to say >> i'm going to agree with steve. the backup in yields, recently largely foreshadowed this, and the market is pretty aligned with what the fed said i want to go back to an earlier point. it's true it's been significant. the imf suggested they contributed a percentage point to growth. growth around the world is as low as it's been this year and inflation is below target. i think that really says something about the challenge here central banks are providing accommodation, but they're not doing enough to support growth, they're not doing enough to get inflation up to their mandates, that's really kind of the situation we find ourselves in >> i think that's why the fed has -- didn't do what david kelly

although tsa has made significant progress on imt pleming the act, i am still concerned that tsa has not yet complied with the provisions that present some of the committee's biggest priorities in the act. first, tsa is late is providing this committee with a report on recommendations to reform the personnel management system, and as you know the subcommittee recently highlighted the issues facing the tsa workforce in the hearing in may. transportation security officers serve on the front lines and securing our nation's transportation system and yet among the lowest paid workers in federal government. they are also not afforded some of the basic workplace protections that most other government employees enjoy. improving working conditions for these officers is key to the tsa's evolution as a professional national security agency, and i look forward to hearing more about this status of the important report. i will ask for unanimous consent to enter into the record a letter from the american federation of government employees. second, tsa is substantially late in providing a strategy t

imt to get ahead of this, i want to shape the story. >> usually, that's the instinct in a political shopa case to make, you will make it and there are people around you who are hireded to do so, who are r very good what the they do. if you work in the white house, you're very good at messaging. the fact we haven't seen these individuals indicates exactly what ben said. either they're afraid for their own future and or they know there's no excuse. and you know obviously this is a president who likes to make his own case directly to the american people. you know, whether or not that's succe successful. there's a ceiling on his support. the fact they haven't tried to shape a narrative beyond just attack institutions, makes you wonder what hasn't come out yet. >> how much are you watching the white house counsel? here's the president who has a foot in both the private and public sec r tor. clearly he has a private lawyer who's doing a lot more than most would be doing. how much does ma matter to you, what he says or writes? >> not in the error of trump. the white house counsel does not matte

the -- they have -- the pentagon officials told us they plan to continue imt sl operations, flying drones over northern syria. the idea of keep an eye on the isis camps still active and protected by the sdf, the syrian democratic forces and the idea to make sure let's keep an eye on these things. the fl thought following on which is the pentagon not confirmed but sources hinted at is that may include the right to do airstrikes off of drones. kind of targeted counterterrorism programs potentially also raids into syria with special operations as we have seen other parts of the world deal with terrorism as a one-on-one thing but it seems like the idea of urs i say u.s. forces on the ground. and hold territory against isis that's done now. >> if it turns out we can't do that from western iraq, where else could we do that mission from? >> there is a can you tell me of pgs ohs ironically one of the pgs ohs, turkey. air base has been home to a lot of the air power operations in the region over the last couple of decades. that's a turkish air force base the u.s. operates from. the other parts, po
