. >> director aiken. >> it struck me we have a vision zero goal of eliminating fatalities in 2024. this is th the window to get us there. if it is not here to achieve vision zero, i wonder. how do we achieve that goal? are we getting all the way there in terms of addressing the streets and high injury network through this plan? i see tom jumping out. >> to tom mic mcguire. we are addressing by the end of this capital plan cycle we will not have addressed every single street. if you go back to 2014 when we adopted the commitment. we calculated over 80% of the streets will have received one if not multiple engineering treatments. there is enforcement, education, policy change. i know at the board workshop in january we will ahead a strategic conversation about things board and staff can do to make that final push to zero. >> it is not necessarily additional? it ask there a funding gap? is this your dream plan or would there be more in here or not a matter of funding? policy interventions. >> if we look back at the first almost five years. we have done per capita per any measure. i wo

i started in america but lady frances barclay, wife of the governor of virginia at the time of aiken's rebellion in the mid-16 70's. she exemplified the high-status women i had exemplified in founding mothers and fathers, a woman whose role was determined by her status, not her gender, and one who never acknowledged being female was relevant to her political activities, which were extensive. her husband became male and she took over for him for weeks if not months in the immediate aftermath of bacon's rebellion. after i finished that part of the book, i was scheduled to move to england for a year to teach at the university of cambridge. it is ironic, i was researching english history while i was teaching american history at cambridge. i dug into the history of the english civil war, decades before the period that was my primary interest, but it became relevant when i learned of the many petitions women submit it to parliament during the war and the way in which men reacted. why were the petitions relevant? all the recent literary works i had been reading focused on how definitions of w

i feel like this is almost like a todd aiken moment. remember when he made those comments about legitimate rape. and everyone said stop. enough. and he's unapologetic about it. and i think it speaks to a larger issue. i have been worried about this protectionist isolationist element within the republican party that those are just bad traits that i think can -- >> that's why he feels so involved in these things. it's just a climate that's been out there. >> yeah. >> i think that's part of it. absolutely. i don't know how you put an end to it other than tim scott -- >> hold on. does he feel protected or like he's bullet proof somehow? people may say stuff but no one really does anything about it? >> i'll tell you what, i think the issue is, he has been making some of these comments for several years and he was just reelected. and he was still elected. now he barely won this time and i suspect that this is -- i think he's finally gone a bridge too far. >> all right. nia, hi, welcome. >> hey, there. >> this is reaction from house gop leader

caller: i was part of a lobby group, aiken and grump -- aiken and gump. spent a lot of time on the hill in different arenas. host: how do you feel about lobbyists? caller: i think lobbyists have an important role. some of them go a little overboard depending on who is paying them and what they are therefore. in general, they perform an important role. they bring language and thoughts, dealings, and desires to a lot of people. i know our congress -- our house of representatives and senators don't have the legs to run out and touch everybody. they have to go to large gatherings and lobbyists bring large families to them. it is their job to sort it, congress in the house and senate have to sort the information that comes in and balance it, tough job, but i still think lobbyists are just an avenue of information. host: thanks for calling in for the first time to read hope you enjoyed it and hope you call in again. about five or six minutes left in this opening segment. the house coming in at 9:00 a.m. this morning and we will go there for gavel-to-gavel cover

the reason for the poor scores is because when kids are sitting in front of aiken, they are not playing talking more engaging in other activities were basic skills are developed. >>> police dispatchers are trained to deal with emergency situations, of course, but one woman is being recognized for solving a di homework. the dispatcher helped the child solve an equation. >> do you have your homework in front of you? okay. if you do three over four, put that on your paper, and then do +1 over four okay. what is 3+1? >> four. >> okay. and then it would be over four, so four over four is what? >> 1? >> yeah, good job. >> i love it. antonia bundy, nice job. the boy apologized for calling 911. police say they do not want anyone to call 911 for homework help or anything other than a true emergency but i love you can hear other dispatchers taking emergency calls while she is working on three over 4+1 over four. >>> clear your calendar because san francisco beer week is back, yes! something made exactly for me. >> there you go. thank you for joining us. big plans for the super bowl? parties at yo

black president's birth and citizenship in the country and called for his birth certificate or todd aikense world who said awful comments about women. we have a real problem here. to minority voters, white suburban mom, they see these comments and the pattern of them. i say this with the full disclosure. my first campaign was in 1990. those are the politics of the past and that should be dead. those voters are looking at this and seeing a republican party with original sin. so what we do now moving forward is critically important. starting with stripping the committee assignments is a good start. let's be clear. that's a first step, not a last step. >> i think it has to be brought up by republicans, not nancy pelosi. >> but doug is right. folks liken kevin mccarthy called king's comments reckless and wrong, but on the one hand you appreciate them speaking up on this, but at the same time, what are they going to do and are they just that scared of trump? >> this is sentence who won his district. they are in the minority in the house. and i think they are a little bit scared of throwing him

. >> then there was leah aiken, lifelong friend of dale, who told the court about dale's reaction whenth another man. >> he just wanted her dead, you know. maybe she would have a heart attack or get hit by a car. i kept telling him to stop talking like that. >> did dale really mean that? could he truly be violent? >> consider thiswoman, said the prosecutor, an ex-girlfriend from dale's path to told the jury and us a strange tale of what happened one night when she lived with dale 20 years ago. >> he hadn't come home for dinner one night and said he would be home. >> you called him on it. >> he came home, we argued about it, he became very angry, yelling at me, he pushed me down on the floor, put his hands around my neck and said if you ever say or do that again, i'll kill you. he had a look on his face that i had never seen oreck niced before. >> the most scared i'd ever been in moo i life. >> even though that was a long time ago, say it the prosecutor, it told a terrible tale, which sadly is as old as time. dale, he said, was sometimes overcome by rage, and he would go for the throat.

difficult time getting north korean officials to meet with the state department's north korea envoy steve aiken appear at the department announced that beacon will travel this weekend to sweden for talks. shannon. >> shannon: thank you very much. mexican authorities say they want to avoid confrontation with the caravan so they let the border k open at a key crossing temporarily. roughly thousand central americans cross new mexico to guatemalan because of that. stick around a former border patrol chief and later part of having to take work call on your day off, well, do not disturb movement has made it to new york city. while what it's all about, stay tuned. >> the majority of employees want to see this happening. they believe that it is in their daily lives. ♪and shakin' me up so ♪that all i really know ♪is here you come again, and here i go, here i go♪ here we come again. applebee's all you can eat is back. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. coaching means making tough choices. jim! you're in! but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is

there's a primary opponent -- my feeling is this is almost like a todd aiken moment. he made those comments about legitimate rape, and everybody just stopped and said, this is just so out of bounds, we've got to do something about it. enough. and he's unapologetic about it, and it's just a really sad point. but i think it speaks to a larger issue. i've been worried about this nativity, protectionist, isolationist element within the republican party. those are just bad characteristics, bad traits, and i think it can lead at times to some of these times of really ugly -- >> that's why he feels so emboldened, you think, because of just the climate that has been out there? >> i think that's part of it, absolutely. i think that's a part of it. and i don't know how you put an end to it other than tim scott, i thought, nailed it very nicely. >> i want to talk about that, but hold on. does he feel protected or like he's bulletproof somehow because no one really -- you know, people may say stuff, but no one really does anything about it? >> well, i'll tell you what. i think th
