finally, please let me know if i am going too much, page 7 lines 3-6, i am requiring that all the staff members, we are asking again for three staff members in this office, that all of them be trained as sexual assault counselors to ensure that they have the necessary expertise to serve survivors while also helping to protect survivor's confidentiality. there was an issue brought up by dosw about whether a survivor brings a complaint to sharp whether their confidentiality will be maintained and we have worked with the city attorney office to have the strongest language for that in this training. in any cases where any entity tries to breach confidentiality, the city attorney will fight to keep that as they always do and the survivor will have an option whether or not to bring a complaint if she wants to bring it for her or himself. with that i am happy to answer questions from my colleagues and whenever my colleagues deem appropriate wanting to bring up dr. m oranges rassi. >> supervisor safai: why don't we bring up dr. morassi. i want to thank i thank you for being today and there are

[laughter] piety, self-righteousness, assertion without evidence, accusation, inquisition, censoring -- that is not what i am incurring the wrath of my fellow liberals by standing on the side of the house. my real objection is that i do not think political correctness works. i want to achieve -- i want to get to the golden hill. but i do not think that is the way to get there. i believe one of the greatest human failures is to prefer to be right thing and to be effective.

i am a senior from district five. i wanted to speak on behalf of expanding the rent stabilization program. especially seniors and people with disabilities, our one health emergency or job emergency away from homelessness. we live on a very fixed income. we have no options. if san francisco wants to prevent people living on the streets, or in their cars, it is imperative that we keep people in their homes. we need expanded rent stabilization programs. without it, one missed rent program, payment, will mean eviction. in a city of uncontrolled speculation, feeling rising, and impossible rents, ordinary people have no options. plea support and expansion of the rent stabilization programs. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good morning supervisors. i am with senior disability action and i am looking at the budget, and $200,000 for a senior aging in place, you've got to be kidding? 200,000 is a drop in a bucket when you figure one fourth of the city's seniors and people with disabilities. one fourth is our po

i am reading it here. police cannot detain individuals they suspect of gang affiliated for purposes of a civil gang injunction violation. >> that is right. >> last question to you is, can police simply go to individuals that are on the gang list? and the right to do that on the realms and the civil gang injunction in san francisco is not a history. there are individual members who the court has judged to be active gang members subject to the injunction. there is no police officer in san francisco who needs to question you or me or anyone else to figure out whether or not we're subject to the injunction because the list is discrete. >> i think that was my question. my question was not whether or not police can detain individuals they suspect are gang affiliated for purpose of a single gang injunction violation. my question was, can police detain individuals if they are on the gang injunction list by simply being in an area near where gangs are? or in the geographic area, for example, sunnydale. so if police

i am a journalist. i went to a ton of trump rallies during the campaign in different parts of the country. everywhere i went, i heard complaints about political correctness. far more than i heard complaints about other things. when you ask people what they meant by political correct this , they called it women they worked with girl and they got mad at them. you couldn't in public wonder aloud whether the president of the united states is really a muslim. they didn't like that they couldn't make gay jokes anymore. on one hand, you are right. when you try to, when people have these prejudices and you try to suppress them, it can create a kind of dangerous counter reaction. but i also think that what they were reacting to, to go back to the title of this debate, what they called political practice, the fact that they had to have this urbain back present who they felt talk down to them, i don't see a way around that because that is progress. to the question that when has it gone too far, it would be violenc

i am not talking about american politics, i am talking about killers. for dennis, and i have been with him a number of times now, he believes that two things can be true at once. that kim jong-un is good to him, and has a good heart but that what he calls politics, he is talking about a murderous regime, can two things exist like that at the same time? >> yes they can. he made a good point. although he dismissed as politicals, the brutality of the regime. he have had dealings with a brutal regime in the past. i think dennis's point about let's focus on now and the future is a good one. >> except you do have to have eyes wide open with who you are dealing with. >> and i hope someone in this summit meeting that the subject of human rights abuses is brought up. >> and that is really the big topic on the table. let's talk about that. this is not within dennis rodman's portfolio. it was coincidental to say the least that he was saying four years ago that he thought something like this was happhappening if somebody woulde it a chance. obama administration was

so if i lose, as you say, what am i going to do? what am i going to do now?'s constitutional way of life is much more important than just one position. this fight is much larger, i speak... if i may say so, you are sounding like a politician — a diehard opponent of duterte then you are sounding like a chiefjustice of the supreme court. 0pposition politicians have jumped on your case, i will quote a couple of them. 0ne called it "a direct stab at the heart of our constitution". another opposition spokesman said "we are now a heartbeat away from the death of our democracy." another called it "a fascist raid on thejudiciary." do you align yourself with all of these comments? in other words, are you now looking to become a leader of the opposition yourself? that is a very difficult question that must be answered only when a correct process has been sufficiently followed. and by this, i see the root of our problems as an inability to empower the little people. those who, in their daily struggle, find themselves at the end of their rope. usually their relatives get

i am in college. entering the work horse, as i said, i am from boston, which is kind of a city based on an old boys' network. i wonder what strategies you have used in your career to overcome that boundary in a room full of men and how you used it to your advantage. ms. ayotte: well, i have had a couple of jobs where i have been in sort of a room full of men, because before i was attorney general, i was a fairly young lawyer, a prosecutor, in new hampshire, and we would show up at the crime scenes in the middle of the night with the detectives, who were pretty much all male, and how did i do with those situations, and then i was the chief law enforcement officer. and then in the senate, there is a lot of men. so i think the way i have dealt with it is, number one, you know, i have worked really hard, and i have shown my competence, and that was from day one. i am not going to tell you that people are not going to try to stereotype you because of what you look like, whatever you look like. i think that
