is going to get out and do it because you're not going to find much lower interest rates ever again robin do you agree oh i definitely agree with chris's point about refinancing i'm in the middle of one myself so this is good news for me not today but all joking aside i think this is a prudent move right now because there is somewhat of a slowdown when i'm not doing political punditry analyzing the economy and i've been seeing the prices of gold going up there's other telltale signs that there's some some confidence waning in the economy i'm a little bit concerned about my party just getting ahead of the horse ahead of the game here and talking about recession we just need to be more careful and mindful of what's happening right now with the economy but matthew i'm concerned that if you notice that last democratic debate there was not one question asked about the economy which is always the paramount issue of importance to voters chris chris what do you talk a little bit inform our audience about the this level of the drop in interest rates what's the context of this historically is this

what is the sign that robin is carrying?t says, fight paper waste and hang one on the paperhanger of berlin. what they are doing their is taking a dig at hitler's personal biography. he had been a number of things before he became a dictator. he was a wannabe artist, a house paper painter, and he would also hang up paper. so anything that a government or cartoonist could use to make a verbal jab at hitler and also promote the war effort, they would do. so that is where you are getting this phrase of hang one on the paperhanger of berlin. but the thing is, fight paper waste. now, how do we waste paper? well, back then, before tv, you got your news through the newspaper. it is also where you got a lot of your favorite comic strips from, like little orphan annie and superman's adventures in the newspaper. what do you do after the next day? you know, you've heard that phrase, yesterday's news. this is where it arrives from. it is yesterday's newspaper. what you do with yesterday's newspaper? you throw it out? not so fast. not so

>>the what do you think and robin. >>i think folks are just stay away from highway 6.80 because they have a lot to clean up one of the big rigs involved has a ruptured fuel tank, so that's part of the hazmat situation. they have to make sure it's not leaking into the drip trains on the fight of the road so they have a lot to clean up there are several vehicles and more than one big rig involved in this crash. so for now no one is getting through one of the rigs has jackknifed in traffic as you saw it's a cross falling so once again northbound 6.80 here coming out of fremont heading to the sun all great all lanes close at vargas. they are forcing traffic off the freeway so back here at mission you can just take mission over to niles canyon niles canyon connects you back to highway 6.80 or you can just hop over to the nimitz freeway work your way out of fremont or union city and hayward and connect to 5.80 all depends on what's best for you. heading this morning but once again. it does not look like we're going to have t

robin. >>still a mass and the traffic backup just continues to grow both northbound. found just keep in mind if you are traveling north your backup stretches all all the way out too. mission boulevard said all the kids going back and forth between mission south and scott creek. and then opposite side on the southbound a portion of 6.80 that back up spills out to the dublin interchange and then 5.80 was already slow. so that's spilling back in pa cuts through livermore so you should try to stay away from 6.80 hold off on this commute. if you can until the traffic gets a little bit better because even your alternate like mission north to niles canyon that's a mask and check out the nimitz from fremont all the way up to 2.38 5 80 along the dublin grade all all a mess because everyone is using those alternatives for south 6.80. at least an hour for now 57 minutes from dublin to fremont and there's nothing blocked its just because the rubberneckers here's a peek at that soggy commute into san fra

coming up in just a robin all right thank you.ca traffic, calming down in the north bay we have a look. coming on south 1 one in tumor ran with that's about it. it's going to be a great trip across the golden gate so nothing to worry about as you head south into san francisco. we're checking the bay bridge traffic and we've noticed th the drive time has gone down. but it is still backed up through th maze, the only improvement is on the suspension and the skyway not on the oakland side you're still backed up on to 5.80 from highway 24 and one more bridge, san mateo bridge definitely under the limit. but 25 minutes that's not a bad average off to one o one james darya, thanks robin. >>next story now got to go santa rosa where police are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman while she was on a trail and it's the second time there's been a sexual-assault at powers park in the past month. it happened sunday night most recently police don't think the 2 cases are connected but people in the community are concerned. i have 2 s

robin.g back in on the bay bridge traffic which is a pretty thick and slow it's already backed up through the maze and you can count on it stay like that pretty much for the remainder of your morning commute salt the incline as well, but it does look better on the upper deck, we're heading over to berkeley because i have a new crash 80 west at university. crews are already moving this over to the shoulder but there's a long line behind the scene so you have delays from the crash mixed in with the typical commute and you're still lot of hercules from highway 4 heading down to the scene at university once again they're clearing it. but it's 34 minutes because of that from crockett down to the maze darya james thinks lot robin 6 31 in the south bay, the city of santa clara is going to be deciding what what happens at levi stadium outside of football not the 40 niners though in fact the city claims the organization fumbled the job kron 4 sarah stinson live in santa clara to explain sarah. >>toni
