my name is alex burn and i'm the manager of the contract administration division at public works currently. i have ten years plus experience at public work in contract works administration and currently we have a team of 7 professional contract analysts. some of our main duties including taking procurement ask contracts to life cycle to ensure they meet city requirements and i think the initial goal, i'm trying to get to is -- the presentation is a broad understanding of the laws that govern or procurement in contracting in the city of san francisco. there's additional meetings to be set up in the future. i know there's one scheduled already for september and as desired, there can be more personalized meetings as well. one-on-one for some of the complexities of the contracting and procurement rules in san francisco. so, just broadly, currently at public works, the legislation can govern from the creation of a new fire station or hospital down (indiscernible) that's needed by staff to complete their work. so san francisco's is a charter city and it establishes its own charter and own code t

very well put, alex burns, thank you so, much kim, appreciated. hall of famer and civil rights activists, bill russell passed away. his friend, is here with me, next. seen this ad? it's not paid for by california tribes. it's paid for by the out of state gambling corporations that wrote prop 27. it doesn't tell you 90% of the profits go to the out of state corporations. a tiny share goes to the homeless, and even less to tribes. and a big loophole says, costs to promote betting reduce money for the tribes, so they get less. hidden agendas. fine print. loopholes. prop 27. they didn't write it for the tribes or the homeless. they wrote it for themselves. this weekend, we lost a legend on and off the court. nba hall of famer and civil rights icon, bill russell, passing at 88 years old yesterday in the tribute to while they're supporting the nba commissioner and silver running in part, bill stood for something bigger than sports. michael jordan calling him a pioneer. former president, barack obama writing today, we've lost a giant as tall as bill russ

let's bring in now cnn political commentators alice stewart and political analyst alex burns. ot pass. trump, biden and the battle for america's future. good evening, one and all. thank you so much for joining. alex, we're gonna start with you. we needed amid a reality check on the midterms, everybody's been anticipating a red wave, but that had amex seem to have shifted significantly in the past month. what are you expecting no? >> don, i think there's no question that the circumstances of this campaign have changed substantially since the start of the summer. and it really does help to take a step back and look at the big picture here. the president's party almost always does terribly in the midterm elections, and democrats are probably going to have a pretty rough november. but when you think back to where we were at the beginning of june, with sky high gas prices, the biden agenda dead in the water, or so it seemed, and the republican party facing different kinds of internal turmoil but not in a way that was driving the dynamics of the midterm campaign. well, that was then,

joining me now cnn political analyst alex burns, and kim whaley, visiting professor of law at americanersity and author of "how to think like a lawyer," so good to have both of you on. these lawmakers are demanding transcribed interviews with key staffers for the inspector general about the dropped efforts to recover these text messages. how does this need a broader investigation? >> well, there's a potential number of federal statutes both criminal and civil that could have been violated here. the big question for me is where does the buck stop? the buck stops at president trump who was in charge of homeland security at the time that congress on january 15th, 2021, asked for this information and, don, it doesn't take a cyberexpert to understand that having your employees themselves do the transition, that is upload all of the documents and things from your texts that reportedly was done, is not a safe and effective way of protecting these kinds of documents. as you indicated, this inspector general who was also appointed by donald trump sat on this and declined even after these invest

it's joining me now political analyst alex burns, co-author of the book this will not pass and our chief legal analyst mr. jeffrey tomb. and gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us. alex, i'm going to start with. you give me your reaction to this move from the secret service. it's not just them, we know of missing texts from the department of homeland security and the pentagon as well. >> i think it certainly shows the degree to mitch whatever effort there may or may not have been to conceal information or withhold information or create gaps in information, the greek which that is now a spiral beyond any particular person or agency's control. this is an investigation that has turned up important gaps in the record of informations available to congress and other investigators. and the different administrative agencies that oversee these information systems are now trying somewhat desperately to catch up with the facts as they are unfolding. we don't know what information might still be able to be recovered. we don't know exactly why the information wasn't accessible to begin with, but it

"the new york times" political correspondent alex burns, former dnc chair donna brazile, sarah isgur,st dana milbank. okay, alex, let me ask you, you're talking to republicans on the hill. it was notable the way they all came out to attack the fbi and the justice department, defend donald trump after the raid on monday. but i haven't heard much since we've seen the warrant, what's going on, where are we going to see kevin mccarthy and the others go? >> look, i think there's a real sense at this point that this wasn't just a political stunt by the justice department, but maybe you don't want to go too far out on the limb defending donald trump before you know the real details of what's going on. at the same time, there's no appetite within the republican party to denounce donald trump. i think your interview with governor hogan just now is na whin the rt vealing, one of taking a wait and see approach. what you're seeing across the board from republicans, is differing tones of demands for more information, right, there's the outrage demand for more information, truly the justice departm

let's discuss all of this, and more, with cnn legal analyst carrie cordero, melanie zanona and alex burns of the "new york times." carrie, there's a lot in the affidavit that fills in some blanks about what was going on leading up to this search of the former president's residence. but what might actually loom over all of this is the part about obstruction. here's what the "new york times" writes about that. but some measures the crime of obstruction is -- is as or even more serious a threat to mr. trump or his close associates. to convict someone of obstruction prosecutors need to prove two things, that a defendant knowingly concealed or destroyed documents and that he did so to impede the official work of of any federal agency. the maximum penalty is 20 years in prison, twice as long as the penalty under the espionage act. as you've noted, the fact that these documents were classified is important. but not essential to what the federal -- the federal investigators are looking at here. >> well, so they had to recover the documents because they were classified information, but it also was

my name is alex burn and i'm the manager of the contract administration division at public works currently. i have ten years plus experience at public work in contract works administration and currently we have a team of 7 professional contract analysts. some of our main duties including taking procurement ask contracts to life cycle to ensure they meet city requirements and i think the initial goal, i'm trying to get to is -- the presentation is a broad understanding of the laws that govern or procurement in contracting in the city of san francisco. there's additional meetings to be set up in the future. i know there's one scheduled already for september and as desired, there can be more personalized meetings as well. one-on-one for some of the complexities of the contracting and procurement rules in san francisco. so, just broadly, currently at public works, the legislation can govern from the creation of a new fire station or hospital down (indiscernible) that's needed by staff to complete their work. so san francisco's is a charter city and it establishes its own charter and own code t

burning. those are the yeti. and alex fires. they are both 90% contained and have burned nearly 8,000 acres. >> wow. as you can see there on that home security video, it captur0d a loud boom, confusing those people there. and it ended up being a meteor that caused that boom. this morning, the national weather service was saying that it was seen and also heard in northern utah and southern idaho. this out around 9.30, local time. you can actually see it there kind of popping up on your screen. witnesses say it looked like a bluish fireball before you can hear it. that initial boom was followed by a a low rumble there for another 5 to 10 seconds. the national weather service said on twitter that a weather satellite and radar appears to have captured this meteor travel. >> a camera talking about the also usually like meteor stuff that goes on around this time of year. usually marisa's laughing at me. no, you're such a come from where that follow the that will ask our bucky ball is not a meteor. and i as a meteorologist do not study

burning tonight. those are dubbed the yeti and alex fires, but they are also 90% contained. burning nearly 8,000 acres. all right. we're going now to get your check your forecast. yeah, but reese rodriguez standing by. we're definitely very, very dry out there. yet. only going to get hotter and drier from here. our warming trend started yesterday lasting all weekend long. and even through tuesday of this upcoming week. >> that's what it's going to peak. the were under severe drought conditions for the bay area for innermost valleys in the east bay dixon and even clipping parts of brentwood still holding steady with extreme drought conditions. but take a look at solano county. they're going to be under an excessive heat. watch starting at 11 o'clock tuesday morning through thursday night. so not only are they going to reach triple digit heat by tuesday through wednesday afternoon, but also during the overnight hours, not going to get much relief, only cooling down into the 60's and 70's with relative humidity dropping into the low teens to single digits at times. so this is so

burning tonight. those are called the yeti and the alex fires tonight. both. >> alright, 79% containment burning nearly 8,000 acres so far. and while these fires burn, we are paying attention to hotter temperatures. yeah, that's that's a big concern. the good thing, though, the monsoon kind of push to the east today so they didn't worry about the lightning strikes. so that's really helped out the firefighters up there in the high country. also getting that southerly wind, that moisture in the atmosphere to they have that moist flow just like we did around the bay area and that suppresses the fires to keep some from burning as fast. but now we've seen some of the winds today just kind of a mixed bags are starting to decrease right now down to 4 to 10 miles per hour. so good news for firefighters there that looked like the monsoons going fact that area for tomorrow either. but the suddenly conditions continue to see that southerly flow. you see that low pressure center off the coastline. now in all the winds coming up on the south bank, is that muggy feel?

burned more than 60,000 acres and is blamed for 4 deaths. meanwhile, to the west of that fire, the yeti fire continues to spread it come. it combined with the nearby alex fire is now forcing evacuations. see any fire has burned about 8,000 acres and is about 50% contained. >> well, chief meteorologist lawrence karnow is here. we started out lovely, lovely day today, but we're still very concerned about these 5. yeah. and they're still worried about some interaction with some thunderstorms up there tonight. of course, that's a big concern. they see those thunderstorms once again rolling into that fire section. and that's a possible what they could be dealing again with tonight. you see out there now the winds have been a little more gusty today, see blowing to 70 miles an hour in why-reeka 12 miles, not scott bar and even stronger winds than that. but if you get a thunderstorm rolling in that area, that's a major concern. you get major drag down drops in those areas. so red flag warnings are through tuesday at 9 o'clock and start to see some of the monsoon here come some of those lightning strikes. still the east. we're getting a little bit closer now.
