let's talk about this clash between pelosi and mcconnell. some people say it's about egos and ooanother camp say it's abo having a fair trial. >> never rule out egos. a lot of this is new snutuff. so much is being with held from them. so much information and people they want to see testify. because of that they are moving forward and saying he wants people we can wall onto testify in that hearing, the trial. the republicans say wait a second, what. there's nothing wrong. let's get this thing done as fast as we can so question go on and do other things. they waptsed to get them quickly so more stuff doesn't dribble out. the president is saying he wants witnesses. he's in the middle of this fight. he would like to have his list of witnesses.

mind you the president's list and nancy pelosi oos list aren't the same. he wants people like joe biden and hunter biden so he can try to connect them with ukraine. he thinks a long and lengthy trial will be great. what's great for him may not be great for anybody else. >> on that point, a long trial that starts going into many months into 2020, what kind of an impact would that have on the election? >> it could have a big impact in terms of nomination. five people running for president who are many the senate. what will they do? they can't be in two places at once. they can't be campaigning and being part of the jury. >> they also can't be a witness. >> biden has his own issues. he doesn't have to be part of the day-to-day stuff that goes on. downstream there's a couple other things that may break this log jam. number one the longer this goes on, the more pelosi loses the

argument in terms of substance and more it becomes an unfair process. she's only go so much leverage. there's another big thing people may not be thinking about and that's public opinion. a poll shows just eight days ago that 71% of public wants to see what the president's witnesses have to say. he's been holding them back because of executive privilege. they want to hear what they have to say. they think it's vitally important. 64% of republicans want to hear this out. that's pretty strong stuff. you put that together with a five or six republican senators, and how they want to get out as fast as they can, you'll see movement in the next few days. >> all right. thanks very much for being here. he robbed a liquor store and pepper sprayed the people inside. tonight he's on the run in the

told they need to be ripped out and replaced. who's going to pay for that? nbc bay area responds next. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. climate is the number 1 priority. i would declare a state of emergency on day 1. congress has never passed an important climate bill, ever. this is a problem that continues to get worse. i've spent a decade fighting and beating oil companies... stopping pipelines... stopping fossil fuel plants, ensuring clean energy across the country. how are we going to pull this country together? we take on the biggest challenge in history,

we save the world and do it together.

i bet you've never heard this question asked. are you home's windows illegal? >> right. >> we have a san francisco homeowner who were told his windows were against the law and it wasn't his fault. >> it involves a local celebrity of sorts you may remember from this hit show. >> it's a legitimate question. people's with home projects ask us for a helping hand. >> reporter: we're going back to 20 2004. >> who are you? >> i'm a professional finger snapper. >> reporter: he was one of the first acts in the first season of america's got talent here on

nbc. 13 years later and in san francisco bobby is still drumming with his digits. >> i'm a professional finger snapper. >> reporter: he's handy but not a professional window installer. for that big gig he hired the pros at lowe's and paid them $20,000. open and shut until a follow up visit. one of the window contractors shuddered. >> the representative told me the windows were illegal. i said that's funny because you guys installed them. >> reporter: in san francisco people smoke all kinds of things without anybody noticing. even walk around completely naked. typically you cannot lawfully install vinyl windows on a home. it's not exactly illegal. it's a code violation in many cases. the minimum fine is $200 a day.

the bad news is lowe's sold him vinyl frames. kneels the contractors should have known better. >> what will happen with the other windows that are illegal? i didn't want them to come out and red tag my house or make me take out the windows and not have a solution. >> reporter: he asked lowe's to replace them. it didn't so he asked if we could help. he said they took care of the permit but that means they should have been responsible for making sure everything was up to code. we spent months going back and forth with them. ultimately he got $20,000 worth of new, legal windows. >> nbc helped me out a little bit on this situation, a lot a bit. >> reporter: the glass pain didn't end there. >> these little side things that were very sharp are made out of fiberglass were unfinished. >> reporter: we asked lowe's to clear things up again. about six weeks later,

problemsoevered. we asked what happened. they said because of the time that elapsed, it's unable to share details from the original installation. >> thanks to nbc investigates this would have probably never happened. i would have had to buy some more blood pressure pills. >> one last point, sometimes contractors don't end as well and that's where a contractor bond can help. the state requires contractors to carry a $15,000 bond. potentially $15,000 set aside to protect you if they make any errors or omissions. before you hire a contractor, make sure they are licensed and they have that bond. if you have a consumer complaint for us to investigate, let us snap to the rescue. go to our web section and let us respond. ca . >> i think that gets three snaps. >> i love it.

>> yeah. just going to leave it there. speaking of windows, he said, imagine looking out your window to see this. the snow. they got five inches of fresh powder overnight. this is piling up. i don't know how many feet, 10, 11. great stuff up there. >> it's 13 feet. the snow numbers are amazing and the temperatures will stay cold enough. you might not have to head up i-80 or highway 50 to find. by christmas day temperatures will be cooling down enough that we could see some snow and the high r peaer peaks around the b area. the snow pack doesn't get much better than this. even higher totals relative to average. south of highway 50 down to the southern sierra and temperatures staying cold enough right there to keep the snow sticking around. right now 32 degrees. snow showers tonight and we will

see more heading into christmas eve and christmas day. right now san jose, no snow. 50 degrees but without towards mount hamilton towards christmas day you might see chances of snow showers. you're at 53 right now. clear skies not much wind and you can see the bay area is actually one of the quietest spots whether wise around the state. still more rain in central california, snow near grapevine. still taking shape offshore. this will send the clouds our ya during bay. showers to start and rain and the chance of the low snow levels on christmas morning. for tomorrow morning the top concern would be patchy frost around the north bay and east bay valley. you could have patchy frost to start your morning off and probably be able to keep the jacket on all day as highs will only be in the mid-40s around clear lake and most of the bay area tomorrow. highs in the low 50s to get the chilly start and increase in clouds blocking out the sun will

likely make for a pretty chilly christmas eve day. in terms of the showers not much to start. the showers chances increase during the afternoon but the out right rain and heavier showers will come in right around midnight to 1:00 a.m. through about 7:00 or 8:00. 5:00 a.m. still pockets of heavier showers. might have small hail with the stronger showers. eventually decreasing in coverage and intensity but again what does fall, if it's not rain, elevation closer to snow level could be snow. most of the bay area probably seeing a quarter inch, maybe a half inch or a bit more around the peaks around the santa cruz mountains. interesting when you look at what type of precipitation we could see. closer to mount saint helena. a decent chance of some christmas day snow showers about 3500 feet.

that's more snow. notice the totals. not that much. this incoming storm will drop down to coast. it's very likely the rain or snow totals will be on the coastal mountain range. notice southern california dealing with rain and snow near the grapevine. friday and saturday if you want dry weather these look to be the best days. by sunday look at another chance of seeing rain around the bay area as we also keep in mind the same storm up in seattle. the 49ers on the road taking on the seattle seahawks on nbc bay area. the same storm giving it right here. rain and wind in pacific northwest through sunday. keeping both christmas and sunday night football covered in the forecast. pretty interesting. don't get the timing to work out. we have chance of higher mountain snow around the bay area but the timing looks good for that. going to get the dry break and see more showers into the

weekend. >> thanks very much. 49ers and the seahawks getting ready for the massive showdown on sunday. an old friend could be returning to seattle. [ electrical buzzing ] [ dramatic music ] ahhhh! -ahhhh! elliott. you came back!
