[laughter] this this is a very interesting project. i think one thing that did raise an eyebrow as i as i was going through this project is the opting out and using the in lieu fee. when we think about preservation , preservation of a physical building is incredibly important. the preservation of a neighborhood and it's character and it's history is important. these are in an area that has historically been affordable. it has historically been a refuge for african-american community and other communities that are vulnerable. i am just curious if you could say a little bit more about why you opted out. i was disappointed by that

there is a book by steve phillips that is brown brown is the new white. if we can get them registered, we're going to continue to move and inherit direction. if you are down the line to have your own children i think this is a question for my mother. what advice for a child would you bring. what advice would you tell them to the child. if i were to head children who were of mixed race. i think i would encourage them. one of my biggest frustrations recently has been i think sometimes i think oftentimes it comes from a good intention place. i do see the person i'm trying to do see the person. but i think what i've learned over the years reading about the history of this country. if you are colorblind you are just straight up blind. that isn't apolitical. we talk about certain people based on the way that they look. lower life expectancy. there is just such profound obvious imbalances. for not working to correct those and fulfill the american provinces of a quality than we are taking the stand. i was giving them a lot of books about history. hopefully uneart

address, ahead of labor day, ohio senator sherrod brown talks about efforts to raise wages and benefits were american workers. senator brown: i'm sherrod brown, senator from ohio, and don't you dare call our state the rust belt. it demeans our workers, it devalues our work. think about what martin luther king said, "all labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance." he told the local 1199 hospital workers union, "no labor is really menial unless you're not getting adequate wages" -- something that's too often the case today. all work has dignity. that's what labor day is all about. each year on labor day, we honor the men and the women who built this country and who continue to power our economy to this day. i want to thank those workers, particularly thank the workers who aren't able to spend today, this holiday, with families and friends at picnics and barbecues, because those workers don't have the day off. they work hard to support their families, too often with too little pay. american workers are our greatest asset; they are the engine behind our nation's success for generations -- whether they punch a time sheet or make a sa

brown brown area as the initial phase and that the northern shoreline to the north and the area in green to the east would be a later phase of the park 19th in georgia street was added to benefit not only the park, but all of the pier 70 project, providing more direct access to the ship repair operation, pulling trucks off of 20th street to improve the orton project, a continuation of the blue greenway and connections along 19th street for added capacity to support the pier 70 special use project. again, this shows how we match the scope of the project with the funding that we had in hand. jumped to march of 2014. we still had to go through design review process with both the city's waterfront design advisory committee and bcdc resigned review board. through those design review boards and community pressures, our project was consistent on getting permits by having to deliver the northern shoreline area. i will jump back slide. you can see here in the brown, we did not have that northern shoreline. here the project was conditioned to get permits and there is also a strong community demand and desire that the project provide access to the bay because of the limited access to the bay that occurs in the southern waterfront. what we did at this point in time was a look at how we could deface certain areas east of the slipway and to reach two areas to the north to get the northern shoreline. if you look here, we have building 109, building 110, the areas east of the foot way. here we jump and add areas to the north for the northern shoreline. we also delete building 109, 110 and those areas east of the slipway. in doing this, we eliminate voting 109 and 110 in those areas, received approximately $5 million by pulling those projects away, by the addition of the northern shoreline, as you will see a little bit later, was an 8 million-dollar cost, which also includes the sediment cap. as part of the northern shoreline project. in march of 2014,

>> hi, laura clark. it does not make sense to continue to negotiate with people who are operating in bad faith. there is one group of people who are operating clearly in bad faith, when it it comes to central soma. everyone else has been very earnest about their concerns. i have concerns about central soma. i have concerns about the jobs housing and balance. there's one particular group, led by the homeowners association of the blue condos, that has demonstrated a complete lack of good faith. it's clearly advocating for their own personal penthouse views. to give anything to this group that is so obviously motivated by pure self-interest, not even of the building but a few handful of penthouse dwellers who might have some views impacted by new housing would be insane. it is not acceptable to negotiate a way, the pittance of housing in this plan, to condo conners. who do not want other condos within their line of sight. it's just ridiculous. i understand these things need a couple of weeks but there are people with whom we can negotiate with in good faith to try and get whatever community benefits they think are need. we are at risk play ball with people just want to preserve their views. and this is why we need fundamental structural see >> next speaker, please. >> my name is scott feeknee. i'd like to echo a lot of what laura said. as the member of u.n. b. action who coordinated opposition to the central soma plan, we previously opposed the central soma plan for adding what was originally 50,000 jobs and only 7,000 housing units during a housing shortage. we have taken a step back from actively opposing the plan. we're not one of the opponents, because we got concession this is some of the office space being converted to housing and housing being stream lined. we believe that san francisco, including this body, was serious about increasing the housing in other areas. if we were able to negotiate with the condo owners, it would call into question that belief. i'm not here to negate the concerns of community groups who were concerned about displacement. we were concerned about the impact from building office space and not enough housing. i'm not here to negate that. if you continue this, let it not be so you can just negotiate with a penthouse condo owner, who doesn't want his view blocked. >> next speaker. >> this is going to be short. i represent san francisco housing coalition. i want to say the number of units that this project represents is important that it moves forward as quickly as possible. also recognizing we're in a housing shortage. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i want to caution you, i believe this is a trick device to time delay to further give people away and don't giffin put. like it did with the mission rock by the building complex. it is sponsored and financed by the giants. it's 1,100 -- 1,500 apartment units there. in the contract agreement, it says 15% of that 1,500 units is supposed to be for very low and low income bracket people. the very people out in the street. homeless who breed and touring around the city. yet, when you design the fine print and application for people who apply for that building, the 15% that is supposed to be of that 1,500 units, which is 225 of those units is not included in the application process. so your time delaying technique that you are using here is a very same time delay technique that you are using now to eliminate the most vulnerable people to have a housing opportunity. it's not fair. you are always doing this time after time and again. and then, with this time-consuming technique, people failed to appear, lose track of their thought and you sneak in this requirement and you campaign that it's supposed for for low and affordable housing but yet the only people that can afford to move in the building is people in high income brackets. since when does people making $125,000 a year need to be part of a low income affordable housing program. you do that time and time again. time and time again. it's disgusting. and then you sit up there talking about affordable housing. every time you come with a multi billion dollar housing bond, you claim affordable housing and the only people that can afford it is people in the high income bracket like twitter. and you give twitter a 217 billion-dollar tax-free budget. money free, not paying taxes. what you got to say about that? >> next speaker. [applause] madam president, before the next public commenter speaks. i want to remind the public if you are in support of someone's views, you can use your supportive hands. there's a board rule -- thank you. there is a board rule that you would use your supportive hands. >> instead of crapping. this is what we're going to do. like this. >> let's be respectful of the speakers at the podium. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is gina and i'm president of the sf blue homeowners association. i want to thank supervisor kim for the continuance. this is a very serious matter we're talking about. there's extreme traffic and extreme cancer risk, identified in the e.i.r. this cancer risk is actually identified in the e.i.r. as target our block. i know we've been vilified in the press, as being concerned about views, but it's really about cancer risk that effects everyone in our neighborhood. i want to thank you for the continuance. it takes a lot of time to work through this kind of problem. i want to thank the supervisors for giving us that time. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, everybody. so, you know, the important thing to understand about these board of s.o.b.s, i'm dyslexic so i see b.o.s. in my mind i actually see s.o.b.s. and you know these s.o.b.s have been screwing over brown people, black people, poor people, gay people, trans people. any marginalized community is not welcome in san francisco because we don't throw billions or millions of dollars up your butts. and that is what this is about. the working class folks of san francisco. for your billionaire boyfriends. they can put a billion dollars or a million -- y'all aren't that expensive whores. a couple thousand dollars, $20,000 will buy most of you off. because these are republicans in democratic clothing. these are the corporate democrats. the ones that lost 900 seats in congress and statehouses and governorships across the nation in 2016 because you support the corporate bastards. therefore, you are bitches and bastards. it's hard-working people that built this city and continue to elect you unbeknownst on how corrupt and whor esh you all are. maybe it will change when we move away from the corporate democrats and we move into the progressives, which i'm hoping this board will elect a progressive pr

plans for high- speed rail. we have more on the new measure to stop construction on the $77 billion project. >> reporter: this is just the latest move to get rid of the higher gas tax. the voters never even had a chance to decide on this for themselves. critics of prop 6 says that getting rid of the higher gas tax and vehicle fees, california will be shortchanged billions of dollars that otherwise would have funded thousands of projects for roads and infrastructure. more than 230 organizations, including the california transit association, have launched a campaign to defeat what they say eliminates $5 billion dedicated to infrastructure repairs. >> we have a huge public safety problem right now in our state with roads that are in disrepair. >> reporter: and that was the executive

brown? >> supervisor brown: i support the reappointment of ike kwon. i've known ike for years and have always known him to be compassionate and dedicated public servant, plus an activist in the community at large in the inner sunset. i supported his leadership at clean power s.f. he's been an amazing advocate for all of san francisco, especially the earth. it's a true gem in district 5 and has enriched the lives of thousands of young people. i encourage my colleagues to reappoint him. >> president cohen: thank you, supervisor brown. any other colleagues? okay. can we take them same house, same call? looks like we can. without objection, motions are approved. madam clerk, please call the next item. >> clerk: item 37, motion to approve the mayor's nomination of lieutenant david falzon to entertainment commission term ending july 1, 2022. >> president cohen: seeing no names on the roster, same house, same call? without objection, motion is approved. madam clerk, next item. >> clerk: item 38, motion to appoint jose bernal, angela coleman, victoria westbrook, and theodore tolliver to re-entry council. >> president cohen: same house, same call? without objection, motion is approved. please call the next item. >> clerk: given that it's not quite 2:30 or 3:00 p.m., we'll move to committee reports. item 47 was considered by budget and finance committee at a regular meeting on thursday, september 20, 2018, and forwarded as committee report. 47 was appointed with the same title, to amend administrative code to increase the

browne sucked up the attention. john henry browne: and i would suggest counsel come to trial and she'll find out. keith morrison: naturally flamboyant. john henry browneorrison: while the client seemed to disappear into the woodwork behind him. a client who, said john henry browne, was not at all the villain the prosecution seemed determined to portray. john henry browne: what we have is a man who, has on his own, raised very successfully four children. keith morrison: it became, shall we say, a theme. michael oakes, single father of four, grandfather of one. well-spoken, mild mannered, but certainly not any ordinary salesman or consultant. oakes, browne admitted, is a recognized expert in close quarters combat. knows firearms so well, he's written numerous articles for gun magazines. has even trained police swat teams. but has no criminal record. and, insisted browne, he isn't a murderer. still, he must have done something to mark stover, didn't he? well, here's where it all began to get tricky. if stover was really dead, said john henry browne, and if the prosecution could prove oakes killed him, then and only then, oakes might provide an explanatio

brown. i don't think he cares who won the men's national championship. we're going to say more about him next week. i will give you a presage of mr. brown. john brown is known for advocating violence. he wants to use violence or thinks it's justifiable to use violence to end slavery. so if we can hold off a little bit on him, he does something in particular and becomes famous in the days leading up to the civil war. i give that to you right now for a juxtaposition. i want you to look at william lloyd garrison, what was his view of violence? >> he's a pacifist. professor harris: he's a pacifist. then you get guys like him who think that violence is ok as long as it accomplishes a larger end. you get a range of different voices in this abolitionists spectrum. from folks who use violence, from folks who are pacifist. and then if i had to put frederick douglass somewhere and i might put them somewhere in between. because douglass is not a pacifist, but he is not willing to commit acts of bloodshed, at least going into the confederate states. all right, so, i want to end today in the time that we have left with the last part here. this is the third part

california governor jerry brown signed a bill jerry brown governor california california governor jerry brown signed a bill into law monday requiring all of the state's electricity to from clean sources by 20-45.those sources include solar, wind, and hydropower.it's the latest in a series of goals set by the state to fight the effects of climate change.brown hailed the move as another example of california's global leadership on environmental initiatives-- while the trump administration backs away from such policies. the signing comes just days before brown is set to host a global conference on climate change in san francisco.the conference is a final effort to showcase california's actions on the environment before his fourth and final term ends.the bill also requires electric utilities and other service providers to generate 60 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2030.that's up from the 50 percent goal previously set for that date.not everyone is satisfied with gov. jerry brown for setting a goal of phasing out fossil fuels from the state's electricity grid by 2045.the bill wou

brown? >> ms. brown: y >> yes. thank you. i just wanted to thank supervisor kim and tipping point and all the others who were involved in this. i really think we as a city need to look creatively on how to build housing on under utilized sites, and i think we need to look hard at establishing rules and regulations to find every opportunity to building housing. i'm committed to do this in my district, which i hope everyone else is, also. in my last job at oewd joint development, i looked at opportunity sites, private and public to build affordable housing, and i feel it's just really important. i think city sites should be first batter up to actually build the housing, and i just want to make sure the city must lead in this, and thank you, supervisor kim, for taking that lead. >> president cohen: all right. seeing that there are no members on the roster, colleagues, can we take this same house, same call? all right. without objection, this ordinance passes unanimously.

if there was any colleague that would like to make a motion. i see supervisor peskin will motion to take this back to the transportation committee. is there a second? second by supervisor safai, and we'll take that without objection, and this is a motion to send back to committee as approved, unanimously. thank you. madam clerk, next item, please. >> clerk: the next item -- next three items, madam president, are the 3:00 p.m. special orders, and given that it's not 2:30 yet, we can't start the commendation period, so i suggest roll call for introductions. >> president cohen: okay. >> clerk: supervisor peskin, you're first up to introduce new business. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam clerk, madam president, colleagues, i have a number of things to discuss and introduce at roll call. i first just wanted to start by thanking our assembly member, phil ting and our entire legislative delegation, senator wiener and assembly member chiu for getting assembly item 84 through in the waning hours of the legislative session and that is legislation that would allow this board of supervisors to, subject to approval by the voters, have a t.n.c. tax in the city and county of san francisco. it awaits the governor's signature, and i would like to thank mayor greed and her staff support, as well, and i would like to thank my assistant, sonny angulo, who worked on this over the summer recess. while we're on the topic of transportation, i know there has been some discussions at the san francisco municipal transportation agency whether or not our public transportation infrastructure should be used for private transportation interests in the city's public realm. and to that end, you'll recall, we recently passed legislation to allow in certain instances an appeal of mta decisions to this board of supervisors pursuant to the charter amendment, proposition a of 2007, and today i'm going to introduce an amendment to the board's review authority that would remove the exemption for bus rapid transportation projects until we can ensure that these projects are truly being prioritized for public-muni transportation, and i think that's appropriate as we approach transit week here in san francisco, and i want to acknowledge and thank the san francisco transit riders for their support of this ordinance. you will recall that two years ago, we had a different prop c on the ballot. that was a different proposition c to repurpose the post lima prieta 1992 seismic safety bonds. really, at that time, we had a number of fires in district number nine as well as district three, and we are hoping to repurpose some of the unspent $350 million, about 261 million, and over last count, at two years, my office has been working with affordable housing stakeholders and the mayor's office of housing and the city attorney to devise a regulatory framework for implementing this program of very low cost money, so we are finally ready to introduce these regulations, and planninn mateo after some of the politicians in this town did not like her standing up for zoning administrator for what was right particularly around rulings which had to do with sutro tower, which she would not back down on, she was ultimately right and suffered political wrath for it. she was a kindred spirit, and she appreciated outdoors and her family and friend. she was a real dear friend to many community organizations and community members here in san francisco, and we all mourn her loss. and then, i'd also like to adjourn today's meeting in the memory of linda peterson, an artist in north beach, who you will recall was one of the street artists who after super bowl l who came and testified before this body she had been pushed out of her work where she made a meager living by selling her fantastic art on the streets. i've got a piece of it in my office, if you want to come by and see it. she fell critically ill during the recess and succumbed at st. francis hospital, and the rest, i will submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor peskin. madam clerk, it's 230. >> president cohen: seeing that it's 2:30, i'd like to go to smeshl commendations, and supervisor kim, you have a special presentation. supervisor kim, if you'd like to present, the floor is yours. >> supervisor kim: and i did want to ask members of the community, along with jessie gonzalez, to come up to the podium. colleagues, i'm asking us to end our board meeting today in memory of dr. don avalon. today we are honoring her posthumously for herr incredibe leadership and work she has done for the community. on august 10, one of our great sheroes, passed away unexpectedly while on vacation with her family in kauai. she was surrounded by her family and loved ones in this unexpected passing. it is a great loss to all of us who have known her. she is a respected historian, author, film maker, poet, chef, and baker, community leader, and activist, and she leaves us with an important and far reaching legacy, granted in love for the filipino american community and beyond. dawn will always be in the hearts of her family, her friends, and the many communities and generations that she touched. for her focus on the filipino community, dawn is a premier historian of our generation. an associate professor with tenure at san francisco state university, she was a third generation born in stockton california in 1972. she was raised on the south side in a close knit, large and loving family. in 1997, she moved back to the bay area, which is where i met dawn as a junior. she joined stanford and was an important part of this community, and in fact, my senior year, i took a class with dawn on asian american culture. she was well known for her commitment to community based history, her energy, and human within our community, but also her support for and solidarity with other graduate students in. 2004, to none of our surprise she joined the faculty of the department of history at san francisco state university. she was loved by her students, where she not only learned to love history but also came to love learning. through her dynamic lectures and interactive discussions, her witty humor and commentary, during which she would bake for the students, she would touch their hearts and stomachs. she also conducted public schoolteacher training and filipino asian and american studies and the united states history for public schoolteachers in san francisco and stockton and for pinoy educational. now supervisor fewer, then school board member and i introduced the ordinance that she and allison had wrote to establish ethnic studies as a curriculum in san francisco. her dissertation eventually became the award winning book published by duke university, little manila is in the heart, now in its sixth printing. in addition to her scholarly and creative endeavors, she worked extensively in our community. she cofounded the little manila foundation in 1999. after learning about the significance of their hometown, stockton, to the filipino american history, they literally found demolition equipment in front of buildings of what remained of the little manila community, the largest population of filipinos in the world outside of the philippines from the 1920's to the 1960's. she continued to work for the preservation and revitalization of the little manila historic site in stockton. many sites which are now established in san francisco came through her work that she did in stockton, california. she also received many awards and even worked with the black eyed peas in developing videos to spread awareness of filipino culture. little manila rising students fought for studies to be institutionalized in stockton and won. she is survived by her husband, jesse, who she loved so deeply, and jesse, i just want to tell you how much i love you, and just how much you have also done for our community. and my heart just breaks for you. i want to recognize her sister, darlene, her caring older sister, minan, her god child, her niece, her nephew, her mom, her uncle, and wife, her aunts, her uncle tex, auntie sonia, and her cousin and godmother, joan. she has a very large family of cousins, nieces, nephews, and god children and godparents. she has many children that she has helped to raise, including mayala, professor daughter, wife, sister, friend, film maker, historian, she encouraged us to have a conversation with our ancestors. she left us many gift to help us figure out what happened to the filipino american community, we take heed of her lessons to take with our community about what kind of families and communities we created so we know who we can become. she is a fan of the giants, and of so many of us and our biggest cheerleader. and because of what we have -- because of what she has left behind, we will be able to continue this conversation with her, culltivating the agenda that she shared, to continue to cook her food and feed her community and the love that she shared for all of our communities. colleagues, i want to give jesse and her family a moment to say a few words about dawn, who we've been honoring this october in filipino heritage month, as well, and it just breaks my heart that we were not able to do that in person, and to thank her for all she has done for all of us. jesse. >> thank you, supervisor kim for that amazing tribute and recognition of life. supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam president, as the supervisor for manilatown and a lifelong believer of the power of historic cultural preservation, which i know dawn was a huge champion of, i wanted to extend my deepest condolences to jesse and the rest of dawn's family on her tragic loss, which i know is giant for the filipino community and all of san francisco. supervisor kim has already listed why dawn was so important, but really, there would not be a manilatown legacy without here. and i say this as a many, many decades friend of bill saro. i know that he was deeply involved with manilatown heritage foundation as was dawn as a board member, and she turned on so many young people like jane back in the day. so i just know this leaves a tremendous hole in the community and the entire city, so on behalf of the board, i also wanted to recognize dawn's contributions and mourn her loss. >> president cohen: thank you, supervisor peskin. and to the family, i just want you to know that it's a tremendous loss in the filipino community, but i want to assure you this is a loss for the entire city family. her legacy transcends the filipino community but will be a part of the community and social fabric. colleagues if we could take without objection closing the board meeting out in honor of miss dawn's memory. if we could take that without objection. all right. without objection. thank you. supervisor kim, is there any -- all right. to the family, i want to just give you an opportunity to speak with your heart to address this body. welcome. >> i just want to thank the board of supervisors and supervisor kim. thank you very much. it means a lot. we just want to continue dawn's legacy to keeping the history, no matter what age you are, we just want to keep the history. it's not about the past, it's -- it should always be the present and the future. and if you allow me, dawn's mom would like to say something, please. thank you. >> in -- in behalf of our -- of my family, thank you so much for bestowing posthumously this award. she loved people so much. she wanted to do anything to help people. she had so many aspirations, and she finally found her calling. but we are going to keep her legacy alive in our hearts. we're going to forge forward and continue what she started. thank you so much. this honor means so much. we have so much gratitude and it's such an honor, but i know dawn. she would be so humbled. thank you again for honoring dawn, and we'll forge ahead and continue what she started. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. okay, colleagues, we are going -- at this time, we're going to continue with roll call. madam clerk, please call the next supervisor. >> clerk: thank you, madam president. supervisor ronen will submit? okay. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: will you refer, please. >> clerk: refer. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: submit. >> clerk: okay. thank you. supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: submit. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: thank you. colleagues, today, i'm calling a hearing on our city vetting process of the safety records of our city contractors. over our legislative recess on august 10, one of the workers on the twin peaks telo construction project, patrick wiggetts, tragically died when a beam fell and pinned him underneath the steel beam. no one should have to suffer the death of a loved one working on a city contract. we later learned that the city contractor, simick construction had a history of workplace and safety violations, including a violation involving another fatality. in documents obtained by the media, simick checked no when asked, in the past ten years, has the potential bidder or if a joint venture partnership has any member of the partnership been cited or any serious or willful violations by cal-osha, or california occupational health and safety administration? according to the san francisco municipal transportation agency, the contractor represented they met the requirements to prequalify for the bid. although the tunnel work has already been completed, the investigation of this incident is ongoing and will take about four to six months. while i am calling for a hearing to investigate safety concerns regarding the evaluation of all the city contractors across all of our city agencies, not only san francisco municipal transportation agency, what i'm finding out is we don't have a safety vetting for city contractors. we must vet our city contractors and ensure that we are contracting with companies that are forthright of their safety record and privatize our safety record and community partners. i will also be a memoryam for william. >> president cohen: supervisor, could you add me as a cosponsor to your hearing request on safety. >> supervisor yee: i will. thank you very much. >> president cohen: thank you. madam clerk? >> clerk: next is supervisor brown. >> i'm going to propose three resolutions today to -- [inaudible] >> -- the

thank you. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor. supervisor cohen? >> president cohen: thank you. madam clerk, do i need to come down -- >> clerk: no. >> president cohen: thank you. so colleagues, today,

brown. >> governor brown, ab 2923 is a bill that you should not sign. >> reporter: assembly bill 2923 would give b.a.r.t greater control of its own land, 250 acres system wide, potentially expediting the system's goal of building 20,000 new housing units by 2040. >> the problem is it is just too expensive. >> reporter: b.a.r.t director nick is a strong supporter of ab 2923. he says 35% of the housing some 7,000 units would be offered below market rate. >> what this bill would allow b.a.r.t. to do is just to do it quicker and more effectively, to respond to the enormous need in the region. >> for me, this is mission drift. b.a.r.t should be focusing its time and energy on running a great transit system. >> i believe that local people who live here are the ones that should decide what our local community looks like, not somebody in sacramento or not somebody on a b.a.r.t board. >> reporter: in walnut creek, a mixed use transit village is already under construction, perhaps a model for other b.a.r.t stations where asphalt parking lots could become largely obsolete. governor brown 30 september 30th to sign or veto the bill. laura anthony, "abc 7 news." >>> all right. next at 6:00, should you still trust f >>> there have been a lot of privacy issues so a lot of people are asking, hey, do you still trust facebook. >> "7 on your side" michael finney is here with a new survey to answer that question. >> you guys reported extensively on top executives from social media platforms on capitol hill, getting grilled once again in the wake of several recent scandals, including one that may have compromised the personal data of most of facebook's two million users. so here is the question. is that changing the way people use social media? consumer reports reveals a new survey result that looks at how these scandals are impacting users' behavior on social media. >> if months of reading about deceitful quiz apps, political meddling by russian bots have you rethinking your relationship with facebook, you're not alone. a recent consumer reports survey finds seven out of ten fa

why is senator brown different? >> senator brown and his ex-wife now get along and she could support him politically but the record speaks for itself. that's the record. feinstein is apparently unconcerned over those charges and reached out to her office today for comments. crickets. and his ex-girlfriend recently accused him of serious physical and emotional abuse. allison went on to win his party's nomination from minnesota attorney general. yesterday, she tweeted the dnc refused to believe her accusations and that they smeared, threatened and isolated her. this is a very same party that is now trying to block kavanaugh's confirmation over decades old misconduct charges from 1982. people on the record, i believe her. do you believe keith ellison's girlfriend, do you believe catherine kathleen willie and juanita broderick? and i could go on. as i have said before, the charges are serious and we need to hear from kavanaugh's accuser. but when people want to get to the truth and they care about allegations, frankly i think they have

you remember jesse jackson jr., corrine brown, michael brown, chaka fattah, all were investigated under the obama administration and convicted. in fact corrine brown was sentenced during the trump investigation. nobody suggested it was partisan. these were based on the fax and the evidence. and likewise with chris collins and duncan hunter. they're entitled to the presumption of innocence. the president is doing a terrible disservice to the men and women of the justice department, the fbi and especially to jeff session and christopher wray. is basically saying these guys are politically motived in their work and i don't believe they are in these cases. >> frankly, there are a few others in the administration who have executed the president's agenda as effectively, whether you agree with it or not as jeff sessions. >> i agree. look, yes, jeff sessions is an appointee of donald trump and is working to advance his agenda on a number of issues, immigration and others. but when it comes to dispensing justice in these criminal matter, i believe he is trying to behave appropriately and professionally in all cases. and for the president to call him out is
