scientific. people objected to the costs and on the other hand, the cost of the drugs went into the hundreds of million dollars that's a difficult problem and the city of san francisco has been paying for this drug if this drug didn't exist there's many people who wouldn't be alive. we need the money for the groups that do the research. many drugs fail that are successful. just two days ago our pharmaceuticals opened $14.04 the next day it was down. $11 declined in one day 66 percent. it's a pear cancer drugs. that's typical are what happens. i site overlooking another one there was a suddenly drop back in agriculture those repeatedly

happen. i have to compensate our research companies otherwise they're not going to be in the field and costs lives. this is the position of the house and a senate 33 they have to encourage the companies in order to save lives. ms. kelly while this sound like a great change many people are reluctant to building they'll see a difference >> i really want to talk about would the opponent of this just said. i don't have the money to buy drugs myself. i also don't have the money to buy stock in drugs companies on let me just tell you something the ceo's make hundreds of millions of dollars. there's enough money for r&d.

every year those companies are a profit and every year more people can't afford their medication. there's a difference between being very rich and ridiculously rich. this gentleman says that congress wants the pharmacies so have the money and congress wants money from the pastes to keep returning for offices. they spend more money on politics and fighting against thienl that are spent on r&d. this is extremely important. this is going to help the people of san francisco are. f that work in every other country we're is only country that is gouged like that canada

and france isn't mr. faulkner would you like to respond >> the truth is we have the best pharmaceutical companies in the world. a lot of companies lose a lot of money but i can guarantee i our pharmaceuticals are going to take a lost. a lot of companies run into those problems and jill adjourn scientific nicole worked out well, they're new drugs is a combination of four different drugs they put together. i understand the aids foundation they want to cut prices on the other hand, they have the next drug to be developed they're to need money for it. if we cut back too much it's going to cost lives and result. we have the best medical

establishment in the world if we want to cut down it's goes to cost lives. it's a vow judgment. adjust price has been discussions and kissing restraining order the roman order sdutdz it but in this case, the drug companies need the kind of medical research we need. some use the fact to invade our patent and do cut rate versions of our drugs. if we didn't go ahead and do our medical research a lot of drugs won't exist and a lot of people would die a lot yearns. in the earlier 1 hundreds people live about 47 years old.

i'm 4r50rgd to living to about 80. i've read a lot of cicero i'm not interested in him i'm interested in human beings. the prices have gone up. when this gentleman said many people are doing to die many people are not i getting their medication and their dying. we're asking for fair prices not asking to take money away from r&d pr it's interesting when a drug company fails everybody feels so terrible i can see that you want them to succeed. and nobody faults the drug company. i've been a teacher for 40 years if the student fails they say

their something wrong with me. there's something wrong where is the pharmaceutical companies if they can't keep their drug prices down and forego those ohio salaries in order to save people. that's their job not just to make money and they can do that. 18 thousand people signed this ballot measure to get it on board. everybody is backing this measure. people who haven't spoken to each other in 20 years are backing this because this is the good thing for that the people of 70 >> mr. that infamous. i don't care whether the drug companies fail but i care that repel amelia reach gets interrupted. the futures of the company's i

don't care about but i care about the net medical research which lives are riding on that's where i favor using the money. i put in the voters hand good things to put money into and i listed thirty cancers companies and i urge you to donate to those companies. we need more medical research not less. there's a lot of hard choices but if you're trying to save a maximum number of lives the more medical research the bhert. i'd like to close the program with a few comments >> i donate to almost everyone medical nonprofit. i even what can for aids, for

diabetes, for breast cancer envy sister a breast cancer survivor. i can important patrick's she's a parkinson's survivor but people are turned away from cylinders they have to choose between their food and their drugs. we need, we need foe serve more people. we're not going to hurt the pharmaceutical industry we're asking them to give us for those people the children, the elderly, the disabled and those surviving from hiv aids a little help. i think they can do it and it would help them to be hell up >> at the.

>> mr. faulkner. >> i've been an elected official i've seen many people with aids die. what happened is with modern medical research they're getting positive results. money is needed for medical research. i hate to be a modern groperer but money it needed to save lives. in particular those who have hiv aids san francisco is well provided forever the federal government pays a lot of the costs. i want the drugs available to help people because i've known people will today of those awe flishgsdz my vaug is that i favor medical research promoted by every one >> thank you. we he hope this discussion has been informative for more information please

invest sf elections.com remember it's available for voting from 5 to 8:00 p.m. >> we came to seven straight about 10 years ago. -- 7th street about 10 years ago. the environment is huge. it is stronger than willpower. surrounding yourself with artists, being in a culture where artists are driving, and where a huge amount of them is a healthy environment. >> you are making it safer.

push, push. that is better. when i start thinking, i see it actually -- sometimes, i do not see it, but when i do, it is usually from the inside out. it is like watching something being spawned. you go in, and you begin to work, excavate, play with the dancers, and then things began to emerge. you may have a plan that this is what i want to create. here are the ideas i want to play with, but then, you go into the room, and there maybe some fertile ideas that are becoming manifest that are more interesting than the idea you had initially set out to plan. so there has to be this openness for spontaneity. also, a sense that regardless of the deadline, that you have tons of time so the you can keep your

creativity alive and not cut it off and just go into old habits. it is a lot like listening. really listening to watch what is going to emerge. i like this thing where you put your foot on his back. let's keep it. were your mind is is how you build your life. if you put it in steel or in failure, it works. that works. it is a commitment. for most artists, it is a vacation and a life that they have committed themselves to. there is this notion that artists continue to do their work because of some kind of the external financial support. if that was taken away, artists would still do their art. it is not like there is a

prerequisite for these things to happen or i will not do it. how could that be? it is the relationship that you have committed to. it is the vocation. no matter how difficult it gets, you are going to need to produce your art. whether it is a large scale or very small scale. the need to create is going to happen, and you are going to have to fulfill it because that is your life. >> all right. guys i'm going to go ahead and get started. welcome to the opening celebration of newest location
