5:01 pm
>> reporter: this hearing lasted more than five and a half hours. during that time, democrats and republicans tried to use these witnesses to make their clear case about if the president committed an impeachable offense or not. the real question is, how will this impact public opinion? >> the facts that have come to light are very much what the founders had in mind. >> this is an abject failer for the democrats and for adam schiff. >> reporter: a stark contrast. acting u.s. ambassador to the ukraine, william taylor, and senior official, george kent testified. taylor revealed new information about the president's focus on investigating joe and hunter biden. >> the member of my staff asked ambassador sondland what the president thought about ukraine. mr.sondland responded that the

5:05 pm
trump. >> still 49% in favor of impeachment. when you look at the republican party, there's still a lot of people against this. what you'll see probably is no matter what happens, the house and the senate are going to vote along party lines. i tend to think the american people are kind of following that mold. >> and in the senate they need 2/3rds, and the democrats have noy mere 2/3rds. >> the president will likely face impeachment. it's hard to expect 2/3rdsor any of the republicans will move on that. >> we'll have the fall hearing as well as reaction on our home page. just go to ktvu.com. a halloween shooting left

5:44 pm
works here in san francisco. >> what's next now? where do you see things going from here? >> the next step, he's got to hire a coaching staff. kapler said this will be a collaborative effort between him and farhan, and scott harris. buster posey was in attendance today, but didn't speak. we don't know exactly how he feels about it, but you would assume there is support there. ron wodas, he's a fan favorite, just a terrific guy, he's going to stay on as third base coach. there will be at least a smidge of continuity. >> the giants can't get a lot worse. >> they were a little better than certainly two years ago. but there's a lot of work to do, and these three guys are going to be very, very busy over the next few months. the california hall of fame has announced a new class of inductees. among the honorees, the late

5:52 pm
is what we were expecting tomorrow. i've seen these things drop a quarter inch before. places like half moon bay, bodega bay, or even santa cruz. most of us are just going to notice clouds and a little drizzle. either way, cloudy day tomorrow. cooler, temperatures dip, right? then they climb back out towards friday, saturday, and sunday. so the forecast for tomorrow morning, look at that. that's tomorrow morning. the drizzle, and mostly cloudy all day. looks a lot like today, except for the morning with that drizzle. the plan is for all of this to slide through. there's that low back here. just behind this. it's going to slip through and just the air rises high. the air sinks and warms. for us, that's a good fire danger scenario. that knocks the fire danger down pretty quick. then the high builds back in this weekend. with that, you warm up a little bit. so the weekend's going to be
