perhaps miss sayers, you'd like to write a play based on one of sayers' novels and she turned that down and instead proposed to sayers, why don't we write a play together. and dls was sold. she agreed, okay, let' write a collaborative play. on february 10th, 1935, dls visited muriel and bars flat in london, over dinner they began to sketch the outlines of a play. that night they stayed up talking about this play business until early the next morning. the next day, over lunch at rules restaurant they mapped out a plan. at muriel's suggestion they agreed to use the three proprietary characters, prompted by new versions of usual types and to write a collaborative play that would adapt her novel style to the stage. by the time she left london, an outline had emerged. the play would be set during harriot and peter's honeymoon and provide scope not only for charming in the village, but fuller exploration of their relationship. it was obvious by then that harriot and peter needed to reinvent marriage in order for them to suit them. honeymoon which became the title of the play would show them d

sayer: i would rather not because i shouldn't be talking on this issue. to be honest with you, it could get me fired. host: we don't want that to happen. thank you for calling in and expressing your viewpoint. the president posted what is called a congressional ball at the white house tonight and he spoke with reporters for just a few minutes. here is a levitt. -- a little of it. president trump: we are proud of this home. we call it a home, some presidents called it a house and some presidents called it much worse than a house. but we love the white house. it is a special place and our country is a special country. i want to thank you. we will come down and mingle and spend some time, have a good time tonight. happy new year, merry christmas, happy hanukkah, we will have a fantastic year. we are going to have the best year we have had in many decades. big,e set up for one great beautiful success. thank you all for being here. thank you for being with us. thank you very much. thank you. was a little bit earlier in the evening. 10:53 p.m.m. or eastern, the

they question the wisdom since the get go, and he has been basically the nay sayer in the democratic party when others in the moderate camp reference being important members have come around to side with nancy pelosi and back articles of impeachment. van drew never did that. it seems like this is gearing up to have him potentially not be a democrat any more, which has to do, i am sure this decision has more to do with both where his politics lie, not just on the question of impeachment but also the democratic party right now is a very pro-impeachment party, even if half the country is not in favor of impeaching the president, i think the numbers are higher for democrats. if you look at internal polling numbers, running as a democrat when you were one of the few to say i can't do this, that complicates your re-election race, too. it will be interesting to see when he makes that switch and if there is a rationale given at that time. >> it is interesting to talk about fractures within the democratic party. i remember for so long talking about the fractures in the republican party, and r

there were a lot of nay sayers, tesla is losing money, when are they turning the quarter they have two profitable quarters in a row, looks like this one will be profitable. the primary reason it wasn't profitable, they were building huge new facilities, battery plant in nevada, a huge plant in china. they managed to build these factories in record time they're building what looks like will be the final one in berlin. if that gets online as quick as the others, they'll have a jump. but costs are coming down, everybody is going electric. next big thing will be autonomous we'll see. may need to raise money in the future posting three quarters profitable, you have to hand it to the company. >> in the relatively near term, next couple years, does tesla need to have a ceo or coo who is an operator whose name is not elon musk? >> of course that happens to every company. there will be a point where elon steps down, focuses on spacex, who knows. >> i am not even saying step down, steve jobs got tim cook, he needed tim cook steve continued to run the company, but there's been that criticism of e

mark sayer tells us how it came to an end. >> fremont police said it was an emergency solution with the danger suspect having the high ground on the roof of the building with tools and equipment to throw at police or the public. >> teachers walk in front of me victor hernandes was working on scaffolding when he saw a man running to the building. >> at the moment i did not know who it was. the next thing he knew police came running up. he said hey, guys. did you see someone walking from here. for more than six hours the man was on the roof of the five- story building throwing equipment and tools. fremont police use drones to keep an eye on the man while crisis negotiators work to get him to surrender. there is a safety issue for the suspect and our officers and at that point communication is our most effective tool. >> she was a victim of a subject hitting her and taking things from her home. a man matching the description broke into a unit at this apartment community. please say he was confronted by the resident and took off running. 911 calls led police in the direction of the construc

a big reason why the nine sayers they won't overlook the dirty birds, even though oddsmakers expect a double-digit victory for the red and gold. >> they were in the super bowl two years ago. they have a lot of great talent on that team. we have to practice this week like any other. >> we have a group of guys with a great mind-set, guys that it's important to them. and every week is just as important as the last. this week is no different than any other. >> a win against the falcons and the 49ers would clinch their first trip to the postseason since 2013. in santa clara, anthony flores, nbc bay area news. >>> well, it is the first of its kind in the world. menlo park fire unveiling a new fire engine. what sets it apart from the rest of the float. that's tonight. >>> and what do we expect for later tonight and tomorrow morning, jack? >> spotty showers. it's kind of the mode we're in right now. you can see in the forecast thursday and friday, the spth spotty chances. saturday a slight chance. it's not going to ruin the weekend. by seasoned we get sunshine, and maybe more rain next tuesda

as rosie joining me is global chief investment strategist at citi bank it's been staggering the nay sayers will say it took a massive pullback in correction in q4 of 2018 to set the market up for the big run that we've had this year. so, is it something where the room is there for this bull market to keep going and running? >> well, our outlook for 2020 has a record high for u.s. corporate profits in the coming year we think 7% roughly, probably a little upside if we were to completely take out trade disruptions entirely i do think that that's global. but we have to remember this was over 20% return year, that the expectation for where we're doing in the economy has been set in financial markets we think that the coming year will not repeat that full gain but there's a very, very big difference from that from sort of believing that the end is there and simply just having great year behind us means there's no room for any appreciation and getting increasingly optimistic again that the world economy can follow through, that there's been a great anticipation as you were just seeing for econom

the people of california needed a way to standardize the value of the new gold so they set up a sayers offices. they declared the value of the gold, melted the gold into bars to ahipped the bars philadelphia mint to make gold coins. at the time, the largest u.s. coin was the $10 liberty had gold eagle. of a newd to the idea larger gold coin. the liberty had coin was designed by the chief engraver of the u.s. mint, james martin longacre. since this new coin was twice the value of the $10 eagle, it was nicknamed the double eagle. the double eagle was first struck as a proof coin. only one of these coins is known to exist and today resides in the smithsonian. it is estimated to be valued at millions of dollars. the obverse of this coin portrays a beautiful rendition of lady liberty adorned by a coronet inscribed with the word liberty. the reverse of this coin depicts a heraldic ego. the double eagle, composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, was an instant commercial success heavily used by merchants and banks. liberty head gold double eagle's are of particular importance due to their low mint

brian: i'm a green just and suitsooth sayer. steve: would nancy pelosi pass usmca the same day she passes the aferls impeachment. it looks like it could be in the same vote sequence next week. in other words, it is such bizarre messaging to talk about what griff was talking about because look at what nancy pelosi is saying. she is saying donald trump is a menace to society and we have impeached him, but he is somebody i can deal with usmca. that's crazy messaging. brian: but she doesn't hate him. watch. >> >> congress will soon vote on my new trade deal. the same day that they announced that they are going to impeach. [crowd boos] >> do you know why? it's a huge deal. and it plays down the impeachment because they are embarrassed by the impeachment. and our poll numbers have gone through the roof because of her stupid impeachment. [cheers and applause] the silver lining of impeachment and this wish huntington, that's the reason they approved usmca so that's okay with me because they approved it. and they are very happy to have i

now, john bolton, one of the keys to the president a sort of nay sayer. he says if the administration really wanted to denuclearize north korea, we'd be pursuing a very different policy towards them kickly with regard to sanctions, it sounds like that's what you're saying? >> well, clearly the sanction enforcement policy has not been vigorous since the middle of may of last year. >> when you say not vigorous, what should they be doing that they're not, our administration. >> first of all, we're not designating kim's companies. we almost didn't designate three dozen russian and other fund companies. if you don't go after the new ones, you're not going to be enforcing sanctions. david: just to sim ply it, ways that he gets hard currency. >> right, through other countries and we should go after the chinese bank in violation of u.s. rules ap u.s. money laundering laws. and from where we're sitting right now, blocks from now, north korean money is flowing through chinese banks and we're not doing anything about it. david: should we link anything about north ko

sayer: i called in to donald trump is a clear and present danger to the security and sovereignty of america and must be impeached. he used taxpayer money to extort, he withheld taxpayer money to extort ukraine into announcing a fake investigation so he could cheat in our 2020 election. i think that is impeachable and i think he should be impeached for that, he is a clear and present danger to our country. kentucky, youin are next up. during george time after the revolutionary war, they had a meeting with all the military hadcers and they knew power something to do with what you heard as well as what you see. all these tests of psycholinguistic abilities, there is a test of memory, discrimination of what you heard, memory of what you heard, memory of what you saw, discrimination of what you hear, all highthis test for professional and educational purposes. from what i hear about the impeachment, the impeachment is what people heard, it is not what people saw. the u.s. president during wartime has a right to investigate anybody he wants to anywhere he wants to if it has something to do with t

sayer: i was just going to i am registered independent, but i voted democrat most of my life. to see what they are trying to -- i will not vote democrat ever again. -- piece,pinion peach impeachment is backfiring in the midwest. voters in wisconsin and other battleground states believe the details on what happened less important than what is happening in their communities. impeachment efforts are backfiring throughout the midwest. how after poll is revealing president trump is gaining stronger footing for reelection in key swing states. democrats have themselves for blame for increasing the odds of trump's second term. we hear next from michael in portland, oregon. caller: hello. i voted against trump and i think him a man of low character. i think jonathan turley's comments about the in advisability of making this a rushed progress -- if this causes us to have any credibility, we have to take our -- giveovide republicans full rights to call people forward -- otherwise, we will divide ourselves further. i think this being a lifelong democrat and being horribly opposed to presi

sayer: i just would like to ray woods from pennsylvania, 100% correct when need to cut billion,ary from $750 and be just like sweetened, we never should have that like sweden.d -- just like had a balanced budget, no when-- we had some debt clinton left but we had a balanced budget concreting surplus and junior bush comes along. i will never vote for another republican. draft dodger in the white house. i can't believe anybody in the military would vote for a draft dodger because that is what he did. three or four times he dodged the draft. he has no business being in the white house and hopefully he will be removed soon. host: john, thanks for the call. president barack obama trying to assess the war in afghanistan and examining how to measure success based on the military involvement in the u.s. treasure. [video clip] >> going forward we will not blindly stay the course. we will set clear metrics to measure progress and hold ourselves accountable. we will assess our efforts to train afghan security forces and our progress in combating insurgents. we will review whether we are using the

but i think also there's a level of -- i wouldn't want to sayer is say serenity, but there's a more sort of solid passion for the candidate and also just some real anxiety about whether in the general election people -- if they want to beat donald trump, whether, you know, whether elizabeth warren and bernie sanders are the candidates who can do that. >> it's interesting you talked about serenity. i'm sure if we use that people -- i mock the use of that term for people at those rallies. i will say that in 2008 when i was going around iowa and i talked to obama supporters, they all had a smile on their face. there was no anger. they were excited. they come you are here and say i'm a republican and this is the first democrat i'm going to ever caucus for. i'm an independent, he makes me feel so good about my country. i'm a democrat and i -- i don't line up with him perfectly but i just feel good when i'm at his rallies and i feel like america can do better and we're going to do better with this guy. there was that positive feeling. and i go back to when you talk about the merits of fighting

tony sayer, thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it. good stuff. >>> as we have been saying all morning, records up and down the line the day after impeachment. record highs across the board here. look at fed ex. we will check up on that because it was down 10% yesterday. they are losing the delivery battle to amazon. back up just, what, 30 cents this morning. not much of a recovery. >>> amazon which is now tracking their delivery workers' every move, that's a big deal. ashley: every minute. third party drivers, an app scores you on driving every day. you have to sign in when you start up the van. it penalizes them for hard braking, swerving around corners, rapid acceleration, speeding, even phone distractions. they pick up or even touch their phone while the vehicles are in motion, they get more points knocked off of their score. now, the score is up 0 to 850. 800 to 850 is good. 500 to 599, poor. anything under 500 is risky. they look at things like how often did you reverse the truck, more than five yards. it's very very intense. stu

joe sayers a housing boom has overwhelmed local services and roads. don't get me started on doctors. i don't think they realise that every house has two cars nowadays. you try and get up my road of the morning, overnight, when you come home from work. give us another jingle. people like susan and john look south and see crossrail, look north and see the stalled hs to project. things tend to be very southern centric. it's not that i feel better about it, it's just the wastage of talent that we have in the north —— hs2. have a delve in there, norman jones. norman the north —— hs2. have a delve in there, normanjones. norman spent his life working at the top of local government across the north. ijust think that we need to make sure that we got the infrastructure right, which then brings a wealth, which then brings the services, and a decent standard of living for all of us. crewe and nantwich have special powers, a bellwether constituency which tends to vote the way of the winner. but we will know for sure friday the 13th. until then, we have it
