california anticipated that the cost-sharing subsidiaries for people 138% and 2 50% of the federal pottery level might go away and they enacted law that essentially allowed insureers to instead get their subsidiaries from another pot of federal money so it shifts from the cost -sharing subsidiaries to the tax credits and it will have little impact on policy holders through covered california, not zero impact but minimal impact. so we're fortunate to be in a state that thought ahead for that policy issue. >> very good. do you know if recovery california is making it well-known to the public? >> interview: they are, they are mostly the reason that it's effecting a particular plan so people who fall within certain income brackets are being navigateed towards that level plan so that the impact is least felt. >> interview: very good, thank you. and i guess you do have an update in regards to the new bell that is going through, i mean, what is the staff us righf the bipartiasan bill? has it changed in the last two days or three days? >> are you talking about the budget bill? >> the congressional budge

i would pose two things from a federal level. one is to look at our antiquated system of medical and nursing training. the idea of depending on psychiatrists for some of the services we are talking about today is not working and is not going to work. we do not have enough psychiatrists, especially in rural areas. the other problem with psychiatrists, you get fragmented care. what we should be looking at are fellowships for pediatricians where they can do a 1-2 year fellowship and the program will be supplemented by federal funds. we look at student debt as one of the national issues. then, you have a sustainable workforce going forward and you also take away that problem oes to a familyget doctor for one thing and a psychiatrist for something else. as part of our emergency room program, if your family doctor is only treating your diabetes, it is a recipe for disaster. the second thing, when need to e need to invest much more in research. this has been touched on by various people. the treatments we have are not adequate. we see w

at the federal level, they are exempted. but under san francisco law, that is not the case. in fact, we get filings if our office of internet communications. so, this isn't an area where we need to be looking at to expand. this is already encompassing this mode of communication. likewise, the electioneering communications window is much broader in san francisco than it is at the federal level. at the federal level, it's 30 days before a primary election and0 days before a general election. but in san francisco, it is 90 days before any election, which is much broader. and lastly on page four, state law has an impracticalability disclaimer and talking about political ads that have to be carried for by a disclaimer. if the communication so small it is impracticalable to provide a disclaimer, they are age to just provide a link where you can click and see the disclaimer on another place. that is different, again, than federal law which basically says if it's impracticalable, you don't have to do it. state law, again california law here, going a little bit beyond what federal la

christian democrats and broaden britain the greens almost joined a coalition with them at the federal level would that have been your first choice. of course there's a kind of her team right now until america has been in power for twelve years she's about to begin her full term. but who will be the next chancellor. if i. ask what can we offer as a democratic alternative. i think the left can provide some answers but right now the social democrats and the left party are feuding and the greens are much closer to them when it comes to the issues. the greens are not closer to the christian democrats they are to the social democrats or the left party. we need an alternative to twelve years of anglo-american something that tells people that we want to future based on solidarity and ecologically sound policy thus. we need parliamentary majority is that don't include the christian democrats. but the greens need to join a coalition in the last parliamentary election they won just eight point nine percent of the vote they are the weakest party in parliament ninety one percent of germans didn't vote f

. >> first of all, at the federal level right now, we have all -- basically -- certainly two electedhes of government under the republicans and that means even more under the thumb of big business and wall street. and it looks like a majority of the supreme court, i hate to say this, but they are republican appointees, the majority. but that's not always been the case. occasionally we do get these grou groundswells of progressivism, usually in the democratic party, but not always, teddy roosevelt was a progressive. it's possible to get a $15 minimum wage across the board. when i was in government, tavis, the minimum wage, people told me there was no way of getting a minimum wage increase. the republicans are in charge of the house and the senate in the mid-1990s. but it turned out that polls showed that 85% of americans thought that there should be an ce increase in the minimum wage. it was not only good for the economy but good for a simple sense of decency, and we got a minimum wage increase in 1996. i believe we can do it. i believe that people understand if somebody is working fu

at the federal level, i think napto t for america and then the large city dots in california have beenrking along with mtc to weigh in on many different aspects of both senate and house legislation. frankly, we haven't been winning. there are really fundamental provisions in both pieces of legislation that would pre-empt city's ability to establish policy at the local level if the measures are enacted. those are two examples of the engagement. we're not in it alone. we're not making this stuff up for san francisco only. we're not trying to be and -- anti-innovation but trying to bring a voice in how to manage the system. >> director: i'm preaching to the choir i know so i'll give a shout out to universal design and encourage us to do as much as we can to make sure to the extent we have any say we need to make sure the technology is inclusive of everyone. i think it's a good call for our future. >> i know in terms of the blue placard abuse work we've been doing has been stalled but my understanding is the dmv audit turned up a lot of areas for them to tighten their controls and they're

scharls * getting the money from a federally administered pool all the way down to the local level. >> it needs to score well on congestion relief. that's what the obama era stuff did not do. there was not a good ranging system. if it's airports it needs to be different rating systems it's what states and local governments are using. so we can take those principles, apply them at the federal level. >> i question the special interests involved in making these decisions, charles. what states will get the funding and what project and when. that's a big concern when it comes to federal spending. charles: do you decide that based on outcome? this is probably why the private sector is critical. they look at return on investment. or squandering money. but real why it bang for the buck. could that be another area where the private sector helps hold down costs and make a final assessment on outcome? >> there are incentives for tax credits for private entities to be part of the project. charles: in new jersey a town mere knee picketing out of -- ticketing out of state cars for using their roads

at the federal level, that support was critical and likewise at the state.ssembly member ting made reference to the cap and trade program. $86 million of cap and trade funds in this curement. we will be submitting our application in the coming weeks for the next round of funding for which we hope to be as equally competitive and successful and a lot of that, the existence of that program, the focus of that program on transportation, recognizing the linkage between air quality and transportation has been from the leadership of the california state transportation agency, secretary brian kelly who was appointed by governor brown to lead that agency and really to bring the cap and trade program as well as many other programs, supportive of good transportation in california into being. so, we're pleased to be joined by deputy secretary of transportation, kate white. she herself is from san francisco so she gets it not only at a policy level from sacramento, but as somebody who rides muni herself. please join me in welcoming deputy secretary kate white.

young social democrats ran an incredibly strong election campaign we were the backbone of the federal level campaign we gained thousands of new members and we've accomplished a lot politically within the s.p.d. which is important to young people. and that made them realize what a youth organization should actually mean to them. martin shorts for instance supported my bid for the executive. at the national youth organization convention and south park can. also emphasize this point. may not be a red carpet but you can see they would all welcome it if it works out with my bed . that. the youth organization was the s.p.d. is back and they hope to form a bulwark against a grand coalition but many in the party don't like the idea they're marching toward the grand coalition that also how you sad. right now we're in a tricky situation now that anglo-american has failed to form the three way coalition and the free democrats christiane little quick to the talks the situation is pretty difficult. and of course the expedia is available for discussions with the various actors in the constitutional insti

on the federal level to put some money into the development of teachers along lines of personalized learning and focus on things relative to students such as trades, stem, computer sciences, a lot of areas around teachers, the other thing is the report card. there is a lot of discussion what direction to go with the report card. in the past it was a grade, then meeting standards, it would be nice to have framework around that because the expectation of the older parent is they expect a grade and there's a huge adjustment to that which what exactly is the standard. having to re-teach adults along the lines of getting parents involved with children, that is something else that could be held at the federal level and saying to the state level this is what we expect and what a model would look like. that is a step in the right direction but a lot of work can happen. >> i would like to echo the enthusiasm for personalized learning around the table and would like to make an observation i think i'm confident everyone here shares and is committed to, it is important to state which is personalized lea

on the federal level -- and i know you serve at the state level, but just to give the audience an idea of what we are talking about, republican women comprise just 10% of the how republican conference and it's about the same in the senate. there are 5 of 52 republican senators. why do you think republicans face this problem? we don't see the same sort of split in the voting population. what do you think republicans can do to improve this? the fact is we will never approach parity in terms of representation of women unless we get more female republican elected to office. >> right. thank you so much. let me ask, do we have any southerners? there we go. we won't talk about college football. amy and i already chatted about that. i have been serving in an elected office since 2000. i started because i had a mentor. it is different than the congresswoman was talking ability. women need to step up and say i want to do this. i worked for someone that offered me a job. i said i want to do this. so that was my first office. but the hard part for republicans, being from a red state, everybody is

how does this law affect us on the federal level as well as the state level? federal level, for any new mortgages, there is going to be a limit on the amount of mortgage interest that you'll be able to deduct. >> it was a million and it will be 750. >> exactly. so that's a significant decrease given that we live here in silicon valley where our home prices are very, very expensive. >> but that's only on new home purchases. >> any mortgage, pre-existing as of december 15, 2017, is under the old rules. a million dollars. >> let's talk the state version of that which could be vision. >> the state version is the deductability of your taxes. the new law will cap that at $10,000. under the old law, you were able to deduct what you actually paid to the state. >> so that could damage us. we won't reap the benefits of this in states like, no and california, that could hurt. >> absolutely. >> finally, proponents say that this plan will make things a lot simple simpler for the layman. >> when they started, they were talking about seven tax rates reduced to four. where ar

and these payment schedules may change depending on what happened at the federal level. the next item is community health center funding. and community health centers are community-based and patient-directed organizations that typically serve communities that have limited access to health care. so federal grants are a key component of the funding for these health care centers through the health center trust fund which includes both discretionary and mandatory funding. so as are the chip bill, this funding the mandatory portion of this funding sunsetted in september. and the house bill did include funding for community health centers for another two years. so california could potentially lose over $300 million in funds if congress does not extend this funding for over 1,200 community health centers in california. the san francisco community clinic consortium which is a collective of the san francisco community health centers, estimates that the funding loss to san francisco would be between $5 million to $10 million with about a million dollar impact to d.p.h. and the next

individuals making 250% of the federal poverty level, that's just over $30,000, are not eligible for the subsidies to reduce deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs that are known as thet- cost-sharing reduction. so essentially the insurance that they are being fined if they don't buy is virtually useless to them because they deductiblesan and co-pays are so high, and if they make under 250% of the poverty level, under $30,000 a year, they cannot, they cannot afford it. madam president, i want to make an important point that has been overlooked ind this debate. any senator, democratic or republican, could have offered an amendment onti the senate flr to strike the repeal of the individual mandate. none, not one chose to do so. that is telling you and reflects both how unpopular the mandate is and how burden some its impact is. nevertheless, madam president, repealing the individual mandate without other healthcare reforms will almost certainly lead to further increases in the cost of health insurance. premiums that are already too expensive under the aca. for these reasons i've mad

on social democrats running credibly strong election campaign we were the backbone of the federal level campaign against thousands of new members and we've accomplished a lot politically within the s.p.d. which is important to young people. and that made them realize what a youth organization should actually mean to them. martin shorts for instance supported my bid for the executive. at the national youth organization convention i can. also emphasize this point. may not be a right. it you can see they would all welcome that with my bed. after. you sent the youth organization was the s.p.d. is back they hope to form a bulwark against a grand coalition but many in the party don't like the idea they're marching toward the grand coalition is that also how you see it. right now we're in a tricky situation now that angle america has failed to form the three way coalition and the free democrats christiane lindsey quit to the talks the situation is pretty difficult. and of course the s.p.d. is available for discussions with the various actors in the constitutional institutions of the german pre

remember, our elections are not held at the federal level. they are held at the level overseen by county courthouses just like the one here in springfield, illinois where i'm at. i don't believe anybody believes russia hacked into each voting machine and had any outcome on the election. frankly, be i think the outcome of the election is because many mistakes were made on behalf of the clinton campaign. and successes and strategies were put forth by the trump campaign. >> listen, nobody says that the outcome was authored. since we know russia middeddledf you believe the intel, the president is sometimes so upset about the investigation into his campaign that he is not taking any steps to deter this from happening again. what exactly is the president doing? >> well, i don't think the president should or could do anything because there is an investigation going on. >> you don't think the president of the united states should do anything to deter russian meddling? >> the president, all of us should deter russia meddling. >> how? >> let's take a s

spoken about legislative involvement and action of the city council level, the state level, the federal level what's happening in terms of planning ahead, anything? >> the questioning of what's happening at the legislative level entrance of planning ahead. you're right it's a different answer at the local, the state, the federal level. some states like california probably not a surprised you are doing quite a bit actually. one positive thing that's come out of california's earthquake history is with every passing earthquake we've learned a lot more about one particular thing, whether it's schools, whether it's the performance of hospitals. and with each passing disaster california's institute more and more building codes, more and more plants along the way of like that. are they enough? a lot of experts signature one of the things interesting about building codes is a building code exists so that people can safely exit a building. so they can get out alive. the building code does not exist to make the building habitable again after a disaster. this is an express. people think it still to deco

of trying to on the state level if the federal level can't appear to and associates if mueller gets firedould get prosecuted by snyderman, perhaps, that could happen if he attempts to pardon individuals who have been indicted, maybe it will go the state way. he is an author and columnist, on the program last night, great contributor on "fox & friends," one of our great guests. why it is a big deal that the attorney general of new york has an interest in the investigation as a somatic and is providing documents? >> for start he is an exclusively political attorney general. >> brian: declared democrat. >> when i testified to ted cruz is committee and the senate a couple of years ago, i cited him for essentially doing an interim round around the first amendment and using the security flaw to go on exxonmobil for not agreeing with the democrats on climate change, this is a sleazy guy who likes politically driven prosecution and investigations. and that is exactly what he did with exxonmobil, now what he is doing with trump. as you say, he has written a blog post claiming that what all of thes

my question goes to current here and now at the federal level. why do they seem to be circling their way to protect those who conspired with the kremlin? impeach both impeach both president and the vice president, we would still have a republican third in line. we would still have the white house. why are they protecting these eople? my question. happy snass and groovy new year. my question. happy snass and groovy new year. guest: i think they're waiting to see what the investigation knows. i don't think there's proof of an impeachable offense. we have impeached twice but never impeached and convicted a president. when nixon resigned, it required really direct ed of culpability. nd there's not in a yet with president trump or pence. i think we should trust in the judgment of the investigators to see what they can uncover. then i think public opinion if there's clear and present proof will have its will on the representatives. but right now they're doing their duty to say wait until the evidence comes out and not take extreme measures on the basis

>> the outcome of this trial doesn't really change the fact that the system goes on a city and federal level miserably failed protecting kate. >> reporter: she was killed by a bullet that ricochetted off the ground on pier 14. the defense argued that the gun discharged after the defendant, jose ines garcia zarate, stumbled upon it. but her mother believes that jose ines garcia zarate is her killer. >> i think he did shoot toward them. >> reporter: the family has been frustrated how kate's death was politicized into arguments against illegal immigration and sanctuary city. now with the verdict red, kate's father said it's time for it to be over. >> we've not had a moment of anger, vengeance, we have no rooms in our hearts and ourselves for any of that. >> nbc bay area news. >> the jury is also drawing condemnation from attorney general jeff sessions. in a statement tonight he blamed san francisco squarely for kate steinle's death and is urging sanctuary city across the nation to rethink their policies. immigration and kus custom's enforcement also quick to react to the verdict. ice will work

with our with the hard earned dollars that are contributed to the government that's at the at the federal level it's at the state level certainly is in the insurance in delivery process many of the democratic and loves his policies on trade. while many republicans really don't like it either you see his policies well there are big issues for example if you think about the border tax and so forth that was being proposed i know for you know some of the large retail companies that have a significant amount of goods being imported would be a problem would be problematic but on the other hand that's what trumps trying to do president trump trying to do is to repatriate some of those jobs and some of those goods and services back here now while i was c.e.o. i never had an outsourcing strategy never but i did have a global competitiveness strategy what does that mean that means if i have to compete with the likes of all strum siemens a b. and b. then i've got to make sure that i source globally to be able to compete to have the cost position to to penetrate those markets so i had to back to your earli

with our with the hard earned dollars that are contributed to the government that's at the at the federal level it's at the state level certainly is in the insurance in delivery process many of the democratic. loves his policies on true or trumps goods and service and pettitte of mistretta gee what does that mean that means if i have to compete with the likes of all strum siemens a b. and b. then i've got to make sure that i source globally to be able to compete to have the cost position to to penetrate those markets. so i had to back to your earlier question that was in response to recognizing investors money to make sure that i could have employment rather than having to cut back on employees to be able to add we had a hundred thirty thousand net new jobs at home depot while i was there we opened a thousand stores we opened a new store every forty eight hours so i think you know that team at home depot deserves a tremendous amount of credit they were customer focus market centric product development and i think that's why you see the success in that company today and some of their first owner

of the investigation based in new york state where the president has an ability to pardon on a federal level, but not a state level, and there is a way for the state of new york, and they're in the middle of part of the investigation, too, at least because all of the stuff happened at trump tower. >> interesting. sorry, go ahead. >> the tax bill. we know the senate republicans passed a tax bill. what does this mean for people? obviously -- >> let's talk locally. this is a tough -- if you're in the upper middle class and you live in the dmv, this is not going to be -- you're not going to love this bill. we have high housing costs here. being a homeowner, you're not going to be able to deduct state and local taxes, okay. that's number one. and you'll have a $10,000 cap on your property tax deduction on that front. so look, it's going to depend almost individual by individual whether this tax bill will be a net plus or a net minus. the big picture is, this is going to sort people think about, start their professional lives, you know. younger folks -- it's -- our tax system is going to encourage

within given everything we can from the federal level, and we look forward to working with them. >> and so still attend. sec. sanders: i still believe, and you can refer to the comments the governor made previously, that every time they asked the federal government delivered. we want to continue to partner with them and help to rebuild. that is why the president is sent to members of his cabinet directly to deal with that to further assess and see what other actions we have to take. >> you're getting a lot of questions about will it benefit the president. i get that he does not want to releases taxes, because that would put all of these questions to rest. why theelucidate president cannot releases taxes for 2016? prove what you're saying is correct. sec. sanders: as we have said many, many times before, the president's taxes are still under audit. we willat is complete, not move forward on him putting taxes out. >> i do not need to belabor it, but the president wants to wait until after -- >> as long as they are under audit, is not going to releases taxes. they are under audit, so he's
