fareed. even though virtually. >> all right. me ask you, before we get into foreign policy, i want to ask you about biden's 100 days. and i want to you ask something very specific about it which is, he has outlined a much more ambitious role for the government than people thought democrats could or had the courage to. your husband famously said when he was president, the era of big government is over. james carville said when i come b back, i want to come back as the bond market because everybody here is worried about any spending that would upset the bond market. was that all wrong then or is it that biden is in a new age? >> i really think it is a new age. and in part because what had to happen in the '90s did happen. there was a lot of, you know, positive economic growth that was aided and abetted by government policy. and huge amounts of advancement for people up and down the income scale. minorities and others. in the obama administration, the biggest expansion of health care that could happen. but it wasn't until the pande

on the ridership and the fare revenues, cash fares were up just over -- i want to that i they were up 20%, which kind of surprised us. that could be due to the warm weather. it could be due to a lot more people getting vaccinated and moving around the city, about you this is a very positive trend for us. -- but this is a positive tend for us. this amount beat our last peak month. you recall when we said peak month, that's the maximum amount of revenue we expect to generate in one month. this beats our peak month. we didn't expect to get to these levels for at least another couple of months. when you look at january, february you see we were hoping to get to march numbers by the end of the fiscal year. but we got to those numbers in march. for the first time since the pandemic we're increasing our revenue projection. and we have systematically been updating them lower as you can see the trend. but for the first time we'll be adjusting upward. i want to remind the board and the public, you can see where we are compared to where we were at our pre-pandemic level, but again the ridership

back to paying their fares. takes months. in order to move forward, the sfmta board would need to vote to receive that money in exchange for needing -- meeting the board of supervisors' requirements. we would need to develop a data collection evaluation and marketing program to make it work as well as to estimate the costs for all of that additional effort as well as the post-september losses. you would then need to consider all of that and vote whether or not to receive the money and to implement the program. >> chair borden: is that everything? >> director yekutiel: thank you. director tumlin, i think it was the meeting before last that i asked that we have a regular update on the better market street project. most people think this is our project and most of the work is not conducted by us. wondering when that was going to happen and specifically, i think we had to pull the trigger on some things about when to start the project. i wonder if that trigger has been pulled? >> director tumlin: the trigger has not

joining me now, fareed zakaria, host of fareed zakaria gps.t at 8:00. it's called "a radical rebellion, the transformation of the gop." and i can't wait to see it. i thank you for joining us tonight, fareed. it -- it's been a head-spinning week, really. republicans booting cheney for speaking the truth. they are whitewashing the insurrection. marjorie taylor greene is adding to her growing list of confrontations. it's like one party has become a total circus. how is our democracy supposed to function with all of this madness? >> well, it's a very good question, don. because, historically, democracy worked when you had political parties that managed their extremes. that is really the function of a political party. is to discipline its members. that's why you have primaries. that's why you have rules. that's why you have conventions. and the whole point of political parties is that they narrow the differences. they take people's passions and their emotions, and they turn them into programatic policy. you know, that's what they've always done. an

i think we have a unique opportunity here with low ridership, low fare revenues coming in, a need for people to return to transit, rising congestions and a budget that allows us to fund this pilot if it's a priority. i think it's a direct way to get money into the pockets of people in san francisco during the recovery period and we're all trying out a fare free period of time to welcome muni riders back on buses and trains. i urge the committee to advance the proposal to the full board with recommendation and i want to thank you again for your time and consideration for what i know is a busy budget season. thank you. >> supervisor haney: thank you supervisor preston. is smta here? is there a representative here? in the meantime, supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you chair haney and thank you supervisor preston for bringing this forward. i know you had discussion last week and i wanted to add my $0.02 and hopefully i won't have to even pay that when riding muni this summer. i believe that this is a really, really smart investment for the long-term future of public transit in

fareed, it's so good to see you. it's been a while since i've seen you as well.hank you so much for joining. >> always a pleasure. >> liz cheney is urging the republican party to steer away from the dangerous and anti-democratic trump cult of personality. in her op-ed, she goes on to write this, and i quote. history is watching. our children are watching. we must be brave enough to defend the basic principles that underpin and protect our freedom and our democratic process. so she's also warning trump's language can provoke violence again. is she right? >> she's absolutely right. look, the history of democracy, which is a very brief interlude in human history, has been one that suggests is very fragile. democracies get undermined very easily. it's not just the example of germany. there are many, many examples. i mean think about egypt, which went through a flash of democracy and now is a military dictatorship. there are many, many examples all over the world throughout history, and almost always what happens is a demagogue arises on the scene, somehow captures so

i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. today on the show, the most dangerous place on earth. that is what the economist calls taiwan, as china has the island firmly in its sights. is beijing bold enough to cross the straits and attack? i'll ask former defense secretary robert gates. >> the american jobs plan -- >> then a post-pandemic boom. with strong growth numbers, it seems the u.s. might be entering into one. will the rest of the world follow suit? i'll ask economic historian niall ferguson. >> this is the kind of event that only happens a couple of times a century, let's say. >>> also, the far right in germany is on the rise, again. this troubling trend is mostly in reaction to a dire threat that never materialized. i'll explain. but first, here is "my take." the united states is entering a post-pandemic era. this is happening primarily because of the one aspect of this pandemic that differentiates it from mostly all previous ones in history. the triumph of science. within a year of covid-19 outbreak, the world saw th

secretary. >> thanks, fareed.t is great to be with you. >> president biden thinks now that there is a cease-fire in -- between the israelis and palestinians, there is a significant opportunity for even more positive developments. our genuine opportunity if i'm quoting him correctly. and i'm wondering is there really, you have an israeli government that seems pretty unyielding and a palestinian authority led by an 85-year-old man who doesn't -- is too scared to hold elections for fear of what will happen. hamas controls gaza. is there really a prospect of some kind of movement towards a genuine political solution? >> fareed, i think there has to be. i think both sides are reminded that we have to find a way to break the cycle. because if we don't, it will repeat itself. at great cost and at great human suffering on all sides. look, we worked very hard with this intense but behind the scenes diplomacy to get to the sooe cease-fire and i think president biden made the judgment that we could be most effective in doing

the board by 10-1 opposed fare increases.mic, public transportation is more critical than ever. all signs suggest we are on the way out of the pandemic. there is good news. we are not there and the future of transit is critical to how we move forward in this recovery. we propose to make muni free as pilot project three months starting on july 1 funded by new appropriation from the board of supervisors. the two items before the committee are appropriation to offset lost fare revenue m.t.a. would have collected during this three month period and ordinance laying out conditions for the use of the fund. muni riders could board with no fare. m.t.a. would tract data and report back monthly. free muni accomplishes multiple objectives. saving riders money, incentivizing people to ride. supporting small businesses and helping us reach our vision zero and climate goals and real world data how free muni could work in the city should we decide to do it on a longer term basis in the future. free muni will put money back in people's pocket

. >> what's going on with fares?res are almost always a function of capacity meaning when there are more seats than passengers fares go down when there are more passengers than seats fares go up there's a question of whether fares will be higher or lower this summer in that airlines putt out the seats in the summer compared to 2019 sometimes 100%. that's seats that need to be filled airlines use attractive pricing to try to fill the seats if they find that the -- even with the capacity the seats are filling then they'll take the price increases but i don't think we'll see that at the beginning of the summer and only at the end of the summer if the first part is really chock a block full. >> what happens beyond that? what point do we get back to the trajectory of pre-pandemic and where does it permanently change >> what we are missing in this conversation is talking act great summer bookings but that's all leisure travel families going on vacation people going golfing things like that what really drives a lot of the i

also, i think fares are rarely cited as a reason why people avoid public transit and i firmly believe and strongly support reduced fares in whatever way is necessary to make sure that the problems that supervisor ronen addressed are not happening. we must have those programs in place this is money that sfmta might not spent spend. he believes this would actually degrade the quality of public transit for me, spending $12.5 million on doing everything we can to restore and enhance is something that at this point in time i'm just not ready to do and i thank. but we have to get our service up to par and we need to spend this money wisely and i don't think a pilot for free muni is the way to do that. >> president walton: thank you so much, supervisor stefani. i did just want to chime in for a brief second and, one, i want to thank you for bringing this pilot forward and let you know how much i appreciate this. this is a conversation that we've had in the city for years. a lot of us fought to get free muni for youth. so many people are involved with having to provide the passes that our you

it should say fare changes, not fare increases or route abandonments. then a unique status is that it's approved by law, unless 7 out of 11 of the board of supervisors vote to reject it. requested increases require a separate and normal budget approval from the mayor and the board. as you know, you voted on this with the board of supervisors approval, you can incur debt secured by agency revenues. next slide. i did say earlier you have the authority to set policies for the agency consistent with other legislation and to give direction acting through the director. you also have directly under the charter the authority to require that they seek board approval over contracts over certain amounts. a couple of years ago in 2019, the board revamped its delegation resolution and updated the amount that the director has authority both for him to approve contracts and for him to redelegate contracts to other staff and the agency. those are related to expenditure contracts, revenue contracts, things like gifts. so there is an update to the delegation in 2019. nex

>> fareed joins us now.d be easy for people at home to think those are just the extremes. but the latest polling shows that 70% of polled republicans believe the election was stolen from former president trump, so they are unified around some elements. >> i think that it's -- that statistic is the one i mentioned, 40% believe bill gates is trying to control them by implanting microchips in their brain, i think something like a third of republicans still believe that barack obama was born in kenya, not the united states. and the question you have to ask is why this anger, why this apocalyptic view that the world is collapsing, going away? american civilization is on the brink? part of what i try to describe in this documentary is the origins, the roots of this, because it goes back very deep. republican leaders have been playing games with their followers for a long time. and they have planted the seeds of this kind of conspiracy theory, distrust of authority, distrust of other republicans who are viewed as m
