this isn't private viewers writing to fox newsom and commenting on what they see on tv.is the government writing private broadcasters saying they want to see stories about the climate change on television. who do you think regulates the broadcasters? bernie sanders and the other democrat. government is force. when broadcasters here that lawmakers want to hear more climate change stories they have to respond because they have a gun to their head. this is the end of free speech in country. >> michelle one of smartest people in i know in building once sat me down and said democracy doesn't work unless the media does its job. the media doing its job means a free media. it's protected in the first amendment. a free media. >> you know what? the media is already talking about this. how much more do they want to hear on tv? if you turn on msnbc and cnn every day they are talking about global warming. is is november coincidence that every day the viewer ship gets smaller and smaller. miles per hours are tired of hearing about this -- americans are tired of hearing about this. all

i have been looking at different studies from five years ago from mayor newsom's administration to other bike strategy proposals by the mta and even surveys by the san francisco county transportation authority that show that 2/3 of the city want significant increases in bike funding and 1/2 of those surveyed by the transportation authority want aggressive increases in funding so we're here today kind of thinking about the demands from not only bicycling advocates but the vast majority of the people in the city as well and we are looking at this report that compares us to other cities and if we like to think of ourselves as a bicycle city and seattle and portlandia and even minneapolis put us to shame and i hope we put our money where our mouth is by the end of this hearing and follow up as well. we spend less per citizen versus these cities and this is all in spietd of the fact that biking as a mode share is greater here than those cities and many cities throughout the country. this year we suffered and felt the consequences of inaction as a city with bicycling and many deaths and emily'
