and they're used to this and kick off the parade and the crowd is quiet and with cameras out. >> and the band has started. you heard the berkeley marching band getting started as we kick off the parade right here at broadway and 11th. just a fun time. the crowd is going wild. as you could see the players outside -- klay up there. they are excited to be here. and hey, it is just -- look, they are throwing out little rags for all of the fans there as they catch those things there. but again, this is what it has been all about. the fans. not everyone is able to go to the games because it could be expensive but the team has been right with the fans along the way. the fans are able to be a part of all of the excitement they've watched the entire season. and we'll continue to monitor what is going on. >> here we go. >> the marching band on the way and kicking off as you could see the marching band starting -- leading the parade. but we'll continue it there. >> back to you guys. >> thank you so much. and right there in the little corner under zaza pachulia and they asked the kids who the fa

and a policy standpoint and also an outreach standpoint. just for some background, in terms of the military population, that represents 1.7 billion potential eligible family members and active duty sponsors who are looking to make sure they can exercise theht to vote from anywhere in the world. there are complexities that come from being in the military. we know the age is 21. and they go through career milestones whether they are changing duty station and whether they're getting ready for pre-deoyment, post-deployment and active duty and all of those milestones really are trigger moments for ensuring their voting rights are being maintained, whether they are updating their voter registration information, updating their absentee ballot information and using the federal postcard application which is prescribed by the department of defense regardless of where their duty station is to automatically receive ballots for federal elections. so we are oftentimes, there's a focus on boots on the ground. i recognize, especially for the election offic

and so i will start by acknowledging and to thank the mayor's office and ms kirkpatrick and her staff and we are looking forward to continuing our work with harvey rose and his offers and woody and the controller's office as well with respect for the budget. i want to highlight a few important points here in our budget and our mission and strategic goals. in theatu really focus on assessing young people and to the probation department as a result of contact with police. we work closely with the young person in the family to administer the programs and to assess their educational needs, family needs, and to develop a rehabilitative plan for that young person. you can see here from the presentation, the strategic goals that we focus on and reducing the likelihood that they return to the justice system. [please stand by] [please stand by] and which replaces and dating back to 1974 and again, i am going to thank the board of supervisors to invest in the new case management system with the way to improve the management data and to increase the degree of transparency and data access in the

and it was great. and in the e.o.c. as we do during the hsoc, we bring together the different city agencies that have a role in these activities, but the other thing is we do a lot of training. we bring in other partners that might not normally be involved and ask private sector liaison and come and see how we do it from other jurisdictions for an idea o f what you do better and a great opportunity for a planned event, but always little things that come up for us to work there it. with pride coming up, we have hundreds of thousands of people celebrating over three days. the biggest one being sunday where we have the parade and then we will have the celebration going on in the civic center. the e.o.c. will be activated from 9:00 in the morning until 6:00 or as needed knowing when all the issues are taken care of. it is another opportunity to bring folks in, do some different types of training, and if there are different things from previous exercises and we know that we want to improve. and make sure those are dialled in

and south korea and ally and including japan and philippines and china line up? >> yeah, this is what i think happened. back on may 8th when the secret meeting, the tone changed and kim jong-un stopped talking about denuclearization and that is china getting involved in the process and representing the fact that north korea and the united states were going to sit down and china inserted it and likely slouped the process down. we know that china eased up on the sanctions with north korea. why are they doing that? to send a message to north korea and you are do the that the mischief here. and the russian, obviously in their now. and making sure that kim jong-un is on the bormder and coop may are kenning is to deal with president trump. and they covered up the differences between north korea and the united states. he's the guy that said president trump will get the nobel peace prize and he was trying to get in the presidentia head a bit. japan is close to the president and they talk all of the time. president a bi. and what he told the president. i talk to him coupl

and everybody is e-mailing and tweeting and so on. so people don't like letters the way they used to. and so that would be -- first of all, that would be a challenge to find letters and diaries. people don't do that. i mean, what we know the president tweets. and that's not quite -- it doesn't have the same thoughtful r res nance -- resonance, let's say. the other part of that is the justices don't write letters as much. it's very hard to get the same kind of traction, sclarl -- sco scholarly traction. frankfurter was a gift always writing long letters what he had to champion at the time. and i don't think too many of the justices do that anymore. now, i would be very surprised if chief justice robert would do that. would have long diary entries. but i'll never know. >> and some of them destroy their papers. >> that's right. >> that's right. they destroy their papers. >> i have a lot more questions, but i'm sure all of you do. marcy, are you going to emcee this? >> time for q&a. we have a microphone down front for those of you on the

a spirit of collaboration and stability and humanity where republicans and democrats, the president and congress got a long and got something transformational he done. [applause] let's give that a hand. it's a remarkable thing. today we celebrate that unique diverse coalition because we share a common commitment that our nation is at best when we are offering a hand saving lives and empowering families and communities around the world. first, let me note that the story of a pep uque in transformational one that saves 14 million lives and combated diseas t continent in 15 years. it takes something special and takes a lot of people to honor anne assiated with pepfar from the administration of three presidents to all the members of congress , too the faith and nonprofit communities into the private sector would take all da because so mn t is room and elsewhere are involved. today i honor to individuals who represent literally thousands of others are instrumental in this great american story, uniquely american success story. our first is senator tom, my friend, former minority and majority

and this is disgusting and appalling and you have political leadership in congress and senate and ithould be a bipartisan issue and instead it is last to the rhinos to keep their mouths shut and not say a word even though it made it clear it was a politically motivated attack on the president and in special of hillary clinton. >> the key line in describing what peter strzok did. not only indicative of a bias state of mind wuwillingness to take official action to impact the presidential cappedidacy. >> lou: how the hell does the inspector general conclude there is no bias? >> it is frustrating. he finds ram pan bias. and 568 page was bias. and concle. i don't find documentary or testimonial evidence that that bias actually influenced. >> lou: look at page 423. i can help him out. he wrote the dad gum report. >> i agree with you. americans are smart. >> lou: why should smart americans have to put up with stupid and corrupt government. it is it redictulous. >> it is redundant. >>>> lou: it should be the gold standard. president trump ran against stupid government. and he is have been ru

this is a phrase used over and over and over again.what he means by it is the force that you have if you are a deeply moral leader or deeply moral nation and he actually thought that the greatness of the united states lay in its moral force, not in its wealth and this is quite different from many of his contemporaries who were all excited that the united states was now the richest nation in the world and it happened after 1900 -- you know when he comes to office people are still very excited about being that it is even richer than britain. ... his usual way of doing it, he would go to ask congress for something and he would make, he would say it's the right thing to do and not only that it will prove to be the prosperous and politically smart thing to do. that combination of moral argument that's always there in the practical aspect as well. it's interesting, they usually put the moral argument first and then said and there will be these practical benefits. i think later presidents would argue, unless it's a moment where you really nee

and germans, and the british and uk intelligence and associated with it and the mirror image of that, people travel overseas in pakistan, just one off. the group itself dozens committed tax but people who spin off, demonstrate in times square, to the fight. people leave those groups are the ones to keep an eye on and that is the case. >> remind the audience, he was doing that, the portrayal of the prophet mohammed. we didn't know the first amendment society, certain things about the prophet mohammed but can't incite violence against people who might do something about it. and getting out of prison, there -- people sentences are coming up. unlike france or belgium, radicalization in the past, the question, people come out, what is your view on this. do some people become more radical in prison as a way of promoting themselves, the people, it was fascinating. he lied at my sentencing hearing, how are you going to deal with 20 years in prison to give the baddest guy on the block. and when they get out, what are the problems they are going to face? what can you do? >> a very interesting

[cheers and applause] all of these partnerships and gifts and prizes are aregarded and fully reflectat love that san francisco holds for its educators and we wouldn't have been able to do this without many of our partners and i wanted to call out the ceo, to thank the teacher for teacher appreciation month. recognizing our educators for their work promotes prestige within the profession and dem states appreciation for those dedicating themselves to providing our students with an excellent education. i want to highlight once again the public school paraeducator that we are honoring tonight and for those of you who didn't know, our late mayor was a paraeducator and this award is to honor him and it's in his name. we are really happy to be able to do that. [applause] some of this would not happen if we did not have a leader in our city that continues to appreciate all of our educators and i am really happy to stand next to our mayor. please join me in welcomes mayor mark ferrell. [applause] >> thank you. i have to say after all those goodies that have been announced i don't know anyone

and they include london breed and jane kim and former supervisor and legislator mark leno and then angela alley oato. >>> and it is a crucial election day in santa clara. one of the most controversial issues, recalling judge aaron persky after he sentenced brock turner to six months in county jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. people say he was too lenient and he said he followed the law. the voters will choose between two candidates to replace him today. >>> and today bay area voters will decide whether to raise tolls on our bridges. including the bay bridge and the san mateo bridge. it is called regional measure three and if it passes, it would increase the toll by $3 over a six-year period. and all bridges will get a toll increase but not the golden gate bridge. on the bay bridge tolls rise to $9 during peak hours. and the money will be used for transportation improvements. >> this is how we fund those 35 improvements that we know we needed for decades and they don't happen for free. so i hate tolls. i hate traffic more. >> it is very hard to support a measure when our

and -- w&d. and where is the u.s. strategy? this was something tucked into a larger, strategic vision on how we were going to compete with the rising japanese economic front. >> and what is interesting and it looks like it is going to pass. >> yes. >> and look, i don't disagree with that. in fact, my whole point is given that the commercial world is ahead of us in defense, we've got to think about how to make sure it ays ahead of everybody else. and there is one other thing that i think underlie as lot of this law, and a lot of the way that hill thinks and d. o.d., there's always the assumption that we're the ones ahead in all technologies. >> yes. >> and it ain't so. it just ain't so. and so one concern that i haven't seen too many people talk about is suppose the chinese start rolling money into europe to develop european technologies which then outpace our ? >> -- our s? >> and i think that is the corporation with our allies on, you know, pull approximately cross-border transactions. there is a nice practice now in french na

, you will hear talk and discussion about an investigation, and i need someone to be able to hear and think critically as to whether -- as to whether or not all the i's were dotted, all the t's were crossed, if proper protocol was followed. so can you talk to -- can you walk me through a little bit about your thinking and your approach. >> so when i investigate a case, the first place i start with is talking to my client, because i need to know what happened. and usually in the criminal justice arena as a public defender, we come in after the fact, after the person's been arrested and an investigation has already been done, so we're sort of playing catch up and then moving forward. i talked to my client and i ask them what exactly happened, and i get their story. i get people who know them and know where they come from and know what they're about and get their information, as well. i then -- i go out to the scene because i think it's very important to vlizend get a sense of where this happened and what happened because when you read police reports there, you don't really get an unders

proposed salary charts and changes and additions, and depdepartmental scope. the currently salary has a compensation schedule plan that relates to each classification and benchmark salaries to the city. [. [reading] ing] establishes the rate for represented employees that have been negotiated. it also represents the unrepresented staff for salaries to match the salary rules and ordinance as well. negotiations are held between ocii executive management staff, local, and representatives. the salary resolution comes with ocii salary chart that provides the salary rates listed in biweekly, hourly as well as extended range in play fo pay. the salary chart is required by calpers to be made publicly available on ocii website. approval to correct five classification salaries benchmarked to city and county of san francisco with current incumbent employees on our salary chart. second, changes of the scope of duty for work of two classifycations, human resources manager and add principle analyst. on the chart you can see the salaries between a and b. while we were presen

it's tempting to go through and count the pinks and reds and blues and stuff and try to figure out, ok, just visually which one is best. and that gets you almost there. in most of the cases. but a lot of times there will be some subtle issues that aren't there from that. there are factors in addition to that that are important, too. it's important to explain that. that it's not, you know, that we ignore the obvious. it's that the obvious led us part way and a few other things led us the rest of the way and that is just as important to document as we go forward. >> thank you for the presentation. i wanted to just echo that and see if there is a way, because i think it is one thing for the project manager to check the box and archive it. but i think it would be interesting to find a way from a communications perspective to distill it to the extent that commissioner moran and i think general manager are saying. to something that is a little more understandable and take it a step further so it can be somewhat of a public document on the website even. i haven't looked at the assessment that

and she let us workshop ideas and really get and have input on these processes and say this is not going to work and add this and take this out. it was an amazing process and just going through that process really restored trust, which is a big statement with this agency, right. it restored trust with a lot of community leaders that have lost it. and so i really want to congratulate deanna for doing that and i agree that this should be funded and implemented as soon as possibility. i acknowledge there's gaps in implementation and difficulties trying to launch this but i'm definitely hopeful that with this groundwork, that a good future is ahead for m.t.a. on this front. thank you. >> thank you, very much. >> next speaker, please. >> herbert winier that is the last person who has submitted a speaker card on this matter. >> thank you. >> herbert winier. i'm in agreement with what everyone has said. i'd like to extend it a little further, however. i noticed that part of the political tone of the board has been identity politics. there's been the bikers, there's been vision zero, there's the

welcome. >> so good morning, supervisors, and malia, and also, the controller's office, and it's been a pleasure to serve with the civil service commission. this may be my last year. i'm not sure, but i enjoy what i'm doing, so there's a possibility i may stay longer. so it is before -- let's see... >> supervisor cohen: just a second. we've got it up, sir. your powerpoint is live. are you having some trouble? do you want me to get a clerk to help you? >> my name is michael brown, and i was the director of the civil service division. i only have five slides to go through. the purpose perthe charter for the civil service commission is to provide qualified persons for appointment to the civil service for the city and county and san francisco. our mission is to establish, ensure and maintain an equitiable and incredible system for employment for the san francisco.

got bored with a chip on it and i turned my fingers on it and watching the trace go up and down and i could tell it was so accurate and so fast and so accurate that i was like, oh my god, these are what the vr not have wanted as far back as i can remember. i called my team over and said we are shutting this team down and giving our investors money back and were going into vr. >> yeah, it all came together in 2012. someone like me who grew up reading stories that imagined, not just cyberspace but virtual-reality, and movies that is terrible as they were captured my imagination like johnny demonic, the movies of 18 years, i was captivated not just by how ridiculously palio futurist at those early headsets in those early suits helical they look from the outside but the rendition of what happened inside the headset i was completely swept away and despite that and despite the fact that in the '90s there were some rudimentary experiences to have i never ever tried it. my eyes didn't go into a headset and until 2013 and i felt like that 15, 16 -year-old me all of a sudden would like right

children and mothers and fathers. there was no access to drugs, so they didn't come forward to even be tested. >> all of which would result in the end turmoil and chaos. >> to propose the emergency plan for aids relief. >> a work of mercy beyond all efforts to help the people of africa. [applause] it was a great moment for the government. >> every so often we have the opportunity to do something for humanity and to serve the american people. if the plan for aids relief would become the largest health initiative by any country. >> the community and the people are collaborating together to make this assessment. 14 million people globally. 2.2 million babies have been born hiv free despite the fact that their mothers were infected. it really is extraordinary that if independent -- pandemic we've gotten this far. >> what makes it so successful today is the fact congress continues to work with us to make us better and each administration from president bush to president obama and now president of trump brings a unique insi

and i went to the company and i -- to give them the medallion and they offered my $500 and the interest on my loan, $800. so $500, the company give me, and the interest, $800. doesn't sound right. i need a lot to repay my loan. i pay $73,000 for the medallion. $45,000 interest. so you are talking about $115,000. and i owe

they did, and they gave me the black gown and the beads and the whole priestly outfit and for the next nine days, i was a french priest behind the north vietnamese lines. in hue. for an east tennessee hillbilly who grew up in the church of christ that in itself was a majored a -- adventure, don't you see? it was exciting there of course, to try to just survive and that is all i could think of doing at the time with the city totally occupied. we did have a lot of incoming artillery, including a direct hit on the priest's house, which blew off the second story. we were downstairs of the time -- at the time, thankfully. but eventually on the ninth day, i heard some american voices, the first english i had heard since i had oined the priests. it was the marines, who were sweeping up from the compound which they had reinforced and sent a couple battalions to the south to retake the south side of the city. they eventually got to the power plant and the house where i was with the priest and it was hotel 25. hotel company second battalion fifth marines. they came to the priest's house and they

and faith and god and where israel sits in and it was not primarily a political conversation but given the events of this week that is where we have to begin. i am going to start here, you published this exquisite book, it was published yesterday, the official publishing date, may 15th, for some people in your part of the world is known as the day of the catastrophe, the day after the establishment of the state of israel on may 14th. that is quite some time for the publish date for your book. we see how gaza is burning and i wonder, to begin, what would you want to say to your palestinian neighbors in a week like this? >> first of all, thank you, it is a privilege to be with you and with you, david. good evening, everyone. i would start by saying that i share the anguish of palestinians this week, the anguish of the casualties, the shattering of a whole people, and i don't share their outrage, see "specifically of what is played out on the gaza border. i don't share the outrage, and the wider context. we also have a story. this is not being heard in the west. it was rare to hear the pa

rockets and his mates doing you know partying and and doing drugs and occult rituals and living the life of a kind of a and out there behind me and you know it's los angeles it's this kind of thing happens here but he's not he is a fascinating character and most fascinatingly for me he was immersed in what's called the nokia magic which is the magical system that di was immersed in it's the magical system that he claimed was given to him by the angels and it's fact it's just amazing to me to look at ok so here we have this guy john d. in the fifteen eighties who's engaged in. ship ferrying seafaring in creating a naval empire expanding to the new world doing this interview magic and then four hundred five hundred years later four hundred years later we even have jack parsons doing the same magic and expanding the boundaries of the human race into and off the planet into space. that's that for me is fascinating and that's why i had to draw out that thread of history and you know john d. in the empire of angels my book that trajectory but there's also in your book you get into a bit o

demonstrations and pilot program and the research and ultimately take all of what we learned and handed over to the faa which is the weight nasa is dealing with you tm right now. i think going forward under space policy directive three will be charged with the same thing. maybe doing pilot programs and demonstrate technology and ultimately handing it over to commerce which will have the lead on space situational awareness in the future. it is also true that nasa will not be creating data and that is ultimately what not we do but the air force or i should say strategic command creates data through the j spock and that data could be provided to commerce and provided to commercial partners and the data that commerce has would be augmented probably with commercial partners and what nasa can do is ultimately test the technology and data and ultimately implement a plan to help commerce lead the effort. >> thank you. general hyten, the dod and in particular the air force has posed a significant increase in their space capabilities with the fy 19 budget. you talk about those capabilities and th

we miss his and wit, his compassion and fierce commitment to justice and democracy and his deep faith in americans coming tooth together to the -- coming together to overcome difficulties. just two months before bobby kennedy was murdered, america lost another apostle of peace and justice. the evening that dr. martin luther king jr. was murdered, bobby kennedy was in indianapolis, indiana, to give a speech. breaking the news of dr. king's death, bobby begged his listeners to not resort to effort. "we've to make effort in the united states. we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond thighs remember difficult times. what he we need in the united states is not division. what we need in the united states is not hatred. what we need in the united states is not violence or lawlessness but love, wisdom and compassion toward one another and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or black." listening to those words, one can hear echos of president lincoln's inaugural address when he told a young nation on a knife's edge of civil

and then he did it. and then i got it, and i said this guy's genius.liant. >> what's the famous greeting? is it have you eaten yet or have you had rice. >> both. what it really means is have you eaten rice yet, but what it really means is how's it going? >> when i learned what his mission was, he basically said i want to go to familiar and less familiar places to tell the american people about all these places, but through the medium that they will be able to relate to. so, food. everybody can late to food, right? so he was also tling about culture and politics and history and the geography, but through food. >> welcome to the chiang mai province and tucked near the borders of burma, china, laos, india not too far away. all of them have left their mark on the food. >> another episode that i loved was his episode about pittsburgh just because he's saying anthony bourdain "parts unknown," traveled the world and he's going to pittsburgh? right? >> this is anthony bourdain. >> how do you do? >> 103 years old. >> looking good. >> he was awesome. he talked a

>> hit and run, hit and run. they were gone. >> so there was no time. >> there was a situation, and this was a key point, i think, for us, in december -- let's see now. december 6, 1968, our squad leader, who is still with us, his name is dennis haines. dennis was out there on a listening post, which is a very small ambush. there were just two guys out there, and john miller was out there with him, the same guy that got to me when i was first wounded. and three viet cong snipers opened up on john and dennis. they were firing fully automatic, which means they put about 90 rounds at them in the space of about two seconds, one, two, three, like that. all but two of the bullets missed. john miller had several zipping across his face, he was lying on his back. two of the bullets caught dennis in the head. we finally got the full story from john. this was the one that had just shown up this year that we thought was dead, and dennis had fallen over like he was dead and john thought he was. suddenly dennis started to sit

the doj to look at and the studios and we have been reporting, and you look at fox and disney and gety studios will be left out there. six or seven, you could argue, and amazon and netflix will produce major motion picture and he would love it to become major players and doj said fine and you're left with nat geoand eff. they're significant cable networks and do they move the needle to give to the distributors scri scripts in discovery took six months and this took six momgs and 13 days to get that approval for comcast, it says you have to deal with a $38 bid on the table that's already been accepted by the fox folks and the fact that they have a hand in saying there's no risk anymore for regulatory here. yes, they still need china other jurisdictions around the world that's not insignificant, but they have an advantage and a certain advantage as well. so if you're comcast the question is what's the number? what does it need to be to get the attention of the fox board or is it possible the fox board will still not say yes, but you can still prevent shareholders to vote on the deal fro

and give the chief gist is clarngs thomas and alito and gorsuch a fifth solid conservative and that legacy will last for years and years to come. and the only thing that could potentially change -- it is if another liberal decides to step down. who knows about that. but it is impossible to overstate how big of a deal this is for the future of the supreme court. at least for the next decade or so. >> pete williams, you said he's a centerist and been the swing vote for many years and born in sacramento and went to stanford and then harvard law school. talk if you would about how his brand of jurisprudence was forged. how did he become justin anthony kennedy. >> put on the court by ronald reagan who liked his conservative credentials and joined the conservatives and shortly after he came on to the court, he broke with the conservatives and voted to uphold the roe v. wade. and the follow-on decision declaring fundamental right to abortion. so one big question here is, will justice kennedy's departure and his replacement by a more conservative justice mean that the roe v. wade decision c

these look closer and more and more like iraq and afghanistia . so i don't know that the old framework fully makes sense to govern those two places. but i think that's something that this administration should be working on and any administration should. >> thank you. well i'm going to have josh answer a question and slash topic that you brought up, which is what is the current state of the world today when it comes to terrorism and security threats and do the polsz we have actually work to address that? josh, you were also in the -- at the tail end of the obama administration, you stayed some time for a little bit of time into the trump administration, so i think you probably got some good perspective there on the mindset and the fill lossfy of th n team. how would y characterize what they're doing right now, even if it's not strategic and it's just tactical, i think it's worth explaining not just to the washington community, but to the american public, given every once in a while you will see a news story of something that happens in niger and s

they offer struggling residents dignity and safety and keep our sidewalks and streets safe and clean. these additional investments will be paired with ongoing programs, including our dedicated street medicine team, specifically, a team that was created for needle pick ups based on resident complaints, and our fix it team that does such great work in our neighborhoods, and with this budget, we will be expanding from 25 to 35 zones throughout the city of san francisco. we all know that a clean and vibrant city is an economically successful and healthy city and just as our city needs to be clean to thrive, it also needs to be safe. last year, we reported 31,000 car break-ins in san francisco. that's about one break-in every three hours on our street. s that's unacceptable. to the credit to our police department, they're doubled our foot patrols, creating a dedicated unit within the central police department, and increasing the burglary and serial crime units. year to date, car break-ins are down 20% in the city of san francisco, but we will not rest on our laurels here in approximate our

or who is difficult and -- strap and says things and does things that are unappealing and then -- you find it i don't know about you guys but you find within the company lots of pressure of employees saying that's not what we should be doing and you say wait a minute -- freedom of speech. comes from both sides. both sides of the aisle get it it's not 50% of america but 100% of america gets freedom of speech so these are different. and any time when the culture shifts like cultural shifting now it has very important to try to stay -- focused on treating all americans with the same rights across the board. just one last question on this topic because you're a global company. were there colleagues and other countries calling you and saying wait you're in the united states, right? >> i -- yeah. i had a e-mail box for a while. the -- interestingly the german and markets maybe you can talk about this the germans have history here. and are particularly upset with mr. trump andha represents and appalled by it and see passionately about issues of -- freedom of speech in where it can lead you i
