lots of banks and scripts and and stock market and and and and all of those things that come from the soil that for. monticello was the exact opposite of he also wasn't happy because of later on andrew jackson was on the rise and and some years before jefferson's death he was still paying attention. it seemed likely that andrew jackson would soon become president of the united states he detested. jackson and he still was an idealist to think that american ship of state that was sailing through turbulent waters would come out into a calmer sea, it still unnerved him considerably that what he had always believed would be the case. what did not seem as if would be the case. jefferson always that what jefferson is sort of the paradox of an elitist leader with populist ideas who always believed that the would elect superior leaders like himself. and it didn't seem like that was going to happen. let me provide a lighter note from washington. and he wrote in 1805, a charming letter to his eldest granddaughter granddaughter, it is very long, my dear, since i have received a letter from you on

[♪♪♪] >> my theme was chinese heights because i find them very beautiful. and also because mosaic is such a heavy, dens, static medium, and i always like to try and incorporate movement into its, and i work with the theme of water a lot, with wind, with clouds, just because i like movements and lightness, so i liked the contrast of making kites out of very heavy, hard material. so one side is a dragon kite, and then there are several different kites in the sky with the clouds, and a little girl below flying it. [♪♪♪] >> there are pieces that are particularly meaningful to me. during the time that we were working on it, my son was a disaffected, unhappy high school student. there was a day where i was on the way to take them to school, and he was looking glum, as usual, and so halfway to school, i turned around and said, how about if i tell the school you are sick and you come make tiles with us, so there is a tile that he made to. it is a little bird. the relation

and we again live in these camps and bubbles and that scares me. and i mean, to point we should as long as you know to put like one last piece with the mueller report. i mean what mueller ultimately find like you cannot there is not enough evidence to like take president to trial yet a fair reading of there was not enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the trump campaign, you know, cooperated or colluded with russia, which infuriated a lot of liberals. yes, it wanted that to be the outcome. and there was all this kind, endless stuff. and i again, i work for nbc news. i should have said at the beginning, i work lester holt. he is my ideal journalist in terms of a like down the middle facts journalist and that's news is and i respect what msnbc does i do interviews on msnbc. but yes there were a lot of legal commentators on msnbc saying that there's more evidence he's a russian agent. you know and i think you have to i mean, again, an election clerk, a judge, a special counsel, you know, again, a special counsel's appointed to it to

and some people thought it was black and blue and some people thought it was white and gold. and it's just one of these classic kind of delightful optical illusions that are fun to argue about. and a buzzfeed, it was like we were you know, we had a woman who just messaged us and said, hey, i went to a wedding and my mom and i are arguing about this picture. could you ask your readers to sort it out? and so we did. and it was one of the big, you know, one of the most widely circulated things on the history of the internet. and we could quite figure out why. but obviously we wanted to replicate it. and as we started trying to copy it, we did sort of figure out why would and the reason that it went so viral was because it was divisive. you know, some people thought it was black and gold, black and blue. some people thought it was white and gold and they argued about it and it was divisive in the most harmless kind of sweet, fun way you can imagine. but what facebook was measuring it. but it was a moment when facebook mechanics and facebook wasn't trying to influence politics. th

and i walk and bike and take muni all over the city. make the streets safer and more livable in the community, and also on a professional setting with mtc and apple is really unparalleled. so i think she's a phenomenal choice, and i and i look forward to seeing that. thank you. good morning supervisors. my name is bob esfandiari. i'm here just in my personal capacity and as a capacity of a friend of sarah's, whom i've known for several years now. i first got to know her when she hosted some seamless event and pulled me into the massive push to try and get our bay area regional transit agencies to be better about coordinating payment and so on, and so forth. i was going to come here and speak more directly to why i like sarah, why i think sarah is a phenomenal person, why she's dogged about demanding and understanding, like what is the most effective thing that we can be doing to actually achieve results? but based on the comments from the last nomination, it seems like this is a foregone conclusion. so all i'll say is this people know w

and so i'd have recite right then and there and that something that i learned how to do and that's the the legacy that comes from the foundation for me is to stand up and who you are. use your voice. i found you know one felipe pereira, jimmy santiago, jane cortez. jean cortez, simon ortiz. sonia sanchez. amiri baraka. jessica hagedorn. all those are my those are my heroes. those are the people that i write to. they their words flood through, mean i read all their books, probably got six books by victor nandez cruz. don't know how many i got of jimmy santiago, barca. but all of that brought me to san francisco. i came here 95. it's 20 to 23 years old and. i think this is what got me to this podium is being in this city, i think san francisco is probably one of my biggest muse. it's it's what i write about. this whole book is about s.f. and who i am, specifically the like, like josiah luis was talking about that's that's what feeds literally feeds my children to is is the work i do in neighborhood i used to walk you know when i came here i didn't know anybody in 95 i didn't know anybody

men and women within the fbi and the intelligence community and within the department of defense andonal security agencies will be trying to keep up with the threats wherever they may come from abroad and will be trying to take actions that they are, you know, authorized to take to mitigate the threats, and trying to approve the appointees, but i totally take your point and agree with you that certainly the former president trump first time in office did not want to take these things seriously, but there are people in government who will, and that could include some appointees, and some who have not been named yet, and with refocused so much on the secretary level, and problems with the nominees like pete hegseth, and certainly with someone like kash patel and john ratcliffe and others, and we have concerns about them, but there are many more that we don't know, and there is something about that environment, and seeing the threats coming in everyday, and i will put president trump aside, because he has those threats brought to him in the presidential briefing, and i don't know how mu

know and and and did you stick with this theme? and the other thing is just again, it's just complete craziness. they want to have everything in the in our country be electrified. and they got a whole bunch of agencies running around saying run, electrify every car and every stove and every home, and we're going to put in all this. they're going to do that. and then they come to places like north dakota, where we produce enormous amounts of baseload energy and they go, here's a bunch of rules and you've got to shut down your power plants. okay? i mean, if we have less supply and more demand, what's going to happen? prices going up, price of electricity under joe biden was flat for 30 years. price of electricity is up 30%. but then now, if the electricity is going to come from intermittent sources, it will be less reliable. so if it may, i don't say it's too late. i'm president trump will do everything he can. but if joe biden is reelected, it's not going to be 2035. in 2025, we will have biden blackout and biden brownouts across th

to my sister and brothers and cousins and nieces and nephews and our incredible husband, our four kids and our grandchild and our in love family. you have endured missed holidays and the fate of public scrutiny and the challenges that come with my calling. without your unwavering encouragement and boundless grace and steadfast support, i would not be able to dedicate myself so fully to serving st. louis and to this work. your love has always been my foundation. your love has always been my strength. and to my beloved st. louis. this work was never about one single seat. it was always about the change that we need to feel, the dreams we dare to dream for ourselves and our children and for our legacy, the hopes and aspirations we have to move beyond struggle and hardship, towards opportunity and prosperity for all of us. we are the change that we seek. what we have accomplished together over the last four years is nothing short of extraordinary. we have witnessed history and we have made history. we have laughed and we have cried. we have stood in solidarity and we have stood our doggone

and and they do. and carl montgomery told that for many, many, many years he could not forgive the chaplain, that he had a longer view by the time. i knew him as an older person and he had revised that view. but the dilemma they find themselves in the middle of, i think is a classic example of, at least in this case, the bastogne corridor, the kind of situation you could be in as a chaplain. it was tragic and it really affected carl's life on levels being a p.o.w. in the ways i described earlier. but you can imagine the chaplain having to make that call very difficult well stay in the back with connie. just a quick question about that excitement about the artillery. and i just i wasn't, i was thinking about what about the the new radar fuzed shells. those were the secret weapons available, the proximity fuze. yeah, the proximity fuze to the to tapes. what did they have? access to that new stuff if you know if they did i don't recall hearing lot about it or seeing it in the records. i think it's mostly

and and by and large, these were old world networks. you know, these were older men who had inherited aspects of the smuggling business many, many times through their family connections. and it was based on it was very personal. it was face to face meetings. a lot of it was on, you know, smoky a cigar and drinking, having a drink and, you know, business practices almost another time when this was all very intimate and personal. and so when they wanted to make, of course, you know, the technology really didn't exist to do it any other way. it's free, zoom and all of that. so the only way you were going to do it face to face and of course it's more secretive if you cannot do it over the phone or any other means of technology like that, and you do it face to face. but it was fascinating. the cocaine business grew out of this long tradition of smuggling that existed in colombia even before cocaine and marijuana were the primary products. it was cigarets back in the forties and fifties, and then it transitioned into marijuana and then transi

we've built these parks and now and these new streets and these, you know, buildings and the spaces in between the buildings. and it all has to be maintained and managed. and so we're shifting into doing the operations for treasure island. and that needs to be looked at, maybe with a new lens, you know, how are we going to staff? how are we going to manage and maintain. and we have no budget numbers of what overall that's going to be? we haven't yet gotten from rec and park what their costs are going to be. we are basically on a very interim basis using rubicon. but if you're adding also rec and park services, what is that overall budget and can we sustain that? i mean, that is the most important question for us is are we going to be able to sustain that level of maintenance management that these parks demand in order to be in order to be world class? and then how are we going to provide the public services and the security, which has been an issue that has come up. so i looking at this budget and i have to i've had to switch glasses because it is so small. it's like, okay, how am i go

and that's the one you grow over acres and acres and acres and acres, and then because you're growing it in a monoculture, guess what? there disease and we've already seen that with bananas where one whole variety was wiped out. and now today's variety, the cavendish which is under threat. and what's more when you have a agricultural monoculture like that it becomes an economic and someone like united was the largest landowner in places like guatemala. and that's when you get banana republics and, you know, you get the ability of which are literally coined for a united fruit's intervention in you know, in these central american countries where they had no trouble saying. hey, our interests are being threatened. you know, the guatemalan government us to redistribute our unused land, to pad peasants, say time for the cia come in and and so which they did and then you have you know a do you have a foreign installed dictator you have the collapse of political institutions. and you could argue we argue that really, you know, central america lost, its ability to sort of have those forms of

prisons and jails, and nationwide. i would like to thank my senate colleagues who have worked tirelessly to improve the conditions of our present engines, including chair durbin, senator booker, and senator blumenthal. i'm grateful that we have all three distinguished senators with us here this afternoon, and i'd like to yield now to chair durbin for his opening remarks. >> i do want to postpone the actual testimony, but this is a continuing challenge. we all know that famous quote which said basically you can measure the degree of civilization in the country by the way they treat people in prison. my feeling is that every member of congress, house and senate,, should visit the prison at least once every two years. we end up passing laws that relegate people to live in these institutions. we should know what's actually going on. senator ossoff, you have been a real leader on this and want to thank you and senator booker and senator blumenthal and senator klobuchar, the whole democratic side of the committee has paid sp

and uh and, and the speaker was really funny. he said, hey, that's the reason i asked joe wilson to come to all of my speeches. but that's the divisions that we have in the republican party. when they talk about foreign wars. i want it to be a foreign war, not here and i don't want to relive 1943 again. if we had stopped hitler. and september 17stalin poland. in five weeks, 60,000 poles were murdered. people should have noticed that and acted against the axis. >> kind of the division between us republicans -- those of us who look at allies like ukraine and israel and see them as manning the front lines so that we don't have to. >> that's it. >> and they ski those allies as pulling us into conflicts that are needless to us. >> i totally disagree. my view there -- in this conflict between dictators and democracies so sad lip it is a hot war for the people of ukraine and the people of israel. but they are responding and the courage and i like to point out my view of president zelensky and that is when the putin-esque accusations tha

and pots and pans and using my own. you know what steve hartman would call all critical, fabulous asian. i begin to try to imagine her life and became obsessed with her. and because she a black woman of that particular time, as long as her lineage, as long as her story touches, i could find information. but once he dies, there is no information. and then comes patsy rice, who was one of their daughters. and in my county that i grew up in is, you know i keep i'm only partly joking. i say it was 99.98% white in all the records of our county, there was always is at least a paragraph. sometimes a page or two about patsy rife. and i remember my grandmother, you know, there was a patsy rife ridge always in my grandmother saying, oh, she's somewhere. candice and that's all she ever said about. patsy right. but when i look like, boy, was she somewhere kind us. and she was their daughter. and because her father was he gave her agency, he gave her land, he gave her money. but she had agency this town and was first black business

and mean, and nasty. but what you've presented us is something that seems to be working as intended, so that obviously begs the question, why are we throwing it out? i would say there are a lot of things that go into how people perceive a street, and if it's working or not. so one of the things we've done is evaluate it very thoroughly. it's the most robust evaluation program we've had for a project in livable streets from a data perspective, from an evaluation perspective, it has worked. so crashes the crash rate for cyclists and pedestrians has gone down. yeah i saw that especially. and that again gets back to your point about the original condition. and one of the reasons that it's not acceptable. yeah. and the crash factors that i mentioned earlier, such as the dooring and the sideswipes that has vanished as well, there are new concerns or new emerging crash patterns, and that's when people turn left or do a u-turn. but data tells one side of the story. so there's this whole non-data component, and th

figure out which one it is and bring it down and retrieve it and find out what is going on and as my good friend maliaparticular akis said the truth about the balloon thing, and we, and this i think is a very, very serious threat. so it could, but it hasn't. i don't know. i know dod has it. thank you. >> gm's team has expired and i thank the witnesses for being

he's also served and the house budget committee and at the office of management and budget and also has international experience advising countries on best practices for budget transparency and fiscal policy. so welcome to all three of you. thank you for being here with us today. we are going to start with a few questions generally about transitions and policy. i think these are an important place to start and they will dive or into each of the specific areas with expertise is. larry let me start with you. can you start with a high level, give us some flavor of what it's like to go through a presidential transition what other ways in which is going back natalie agencies and federal government but particularly the government contracting committee? >> government acquisition is not one of those things that most presidents get elected to change. they run on a platform of i'm going to reform the federal acquisition regulation. we haven't really seen a lot of people come up in conversation it in terms of who might take some of the key positions not just at the general services in the decision

and number two, hopefully, to to build bridges to the board and to the students and and the faculty and, increase the improve the dialog. because for long time, there was only one point of view that was really being advanced on campus and no one likes stepping into the arena and getting involved in controversy it's no fun and we've all taken the arrows, but we believe it's something that needs to be done. and i think we are making you see there have been some of the small that we've seen on campus recently too that give us hope that things are beginning to turn around. but we have a long ways to go. all right. we have time for one more question and any more questions or is that it? all right. well, thank you all for being i really appreciate it. and and thanks our crew. is it steve and. thank you guys very much. you're going to every. on about books, we delve into latest news about the publishing industry with interesting insider interviews, publishing industry experts. we'll also give you updates

the second is to protect and defend our interests and to and from space. the second mission in particular is no small task and the growth and mission must come with a growth in budget. space war fighting is a highly technical affair, but don't expect congress to just throw money at doing things the way we have in the past. we must approach acquisition differently. we can no longer afford eight plus years to develop requirements and conduct long drawnout competition processes. nor can we afford the endless cost plus development contracts. fortunately, progress has been made and secretary cavalli for his part has worked to expedite things by emphasizing fixed price contracts and space development agency has taken advantages of many of the acquisition methods authorized by congress for just this purpose. our commercial spacek sector the envy of the world, in construction and manufacturing. modern technology, ai, autonomy and more. everyone is moving a little bit in the right direction, but it's not quite enough. the department must be more agile and continue

and bustle and accessories. then you'd come home. and while most middle class families, one kind of maid who would live with them or work for them, there was still work to be done. so you would put on not you know shorts but a dress that was made for work still fashionable but sturdy clothing. but then you take that off switch to your tea gown, hang with your husband in the evening and then you put on a different gown at night and upper class women who don't have to do the afternoon work because they've got a whole staff of people, they had even more response abilities in that in of what they had to wear because they had to have separate dresses for, all kinds of activities. the upper class people did traveling. you changed cycling, a different dress for bathing, a different dress, horseback riding. when you got on a train were often the coal smoke would get in. it was a stylish but black dress so they wouldn't show up. but every woman of the middle and upper class who embraced these values obsessed every day wi

and the of john f kennedy with a full and grateful heart. and with only one obligation to devote every effort of body, mind, spirit to lead our party back to victory and our nation back to greatness. it's a pleasure to be here with all you democrats. and to say that i'll bicentennial celebration and our bicentennial convention. has been one of decorum order without any so a free for all among democrats that can only happen once every 200 years. with this kind of a united democratic party. we are ready and eager to take on the republicans. whichever republican party decide to send against us in november. 1976 will not be a year of politics as usual. it can be a year of inspiration and hope, and it will be a year of concern, of quiet and sober reassessment of our nation's character and purpose. a when voters have already confounded experts and i guarantee you that it will the year when we give the government of this country back to the people, this country. there is a new mood in america. we've been shaken by a tragic war abroad and by scandal

and telecommunication and roads and bridges and we have to think of it and it's a kitchen table issue. we need to make public health a kitchen table issue and it's somewhat relatable and i think we've heard that when secretary sebelius and 11 but ultimately it's trust that we can talk about governance, talk about workforce but those are all challenges but the core issue comes down to trust and i think also building those multi sector alliances with faith-based communities, so critical for us to do the work that we know is important. sorry. >> it then put you on the hook for this next question which is getting to that point around trust . there are challenges to public trust but also ensuring that the agencies, federal state and local are able to do their job and an overview of the presentation so the question here is did these types of proposals that potentially could restructure these or question the authorities of the agency, what can we do in terms of our goals as advocates or others to ensure that those types of changes, structural changes and weakening of authority will not happe

and and i think that we need to build a special ai that has some different properties and and then we have to make it that it can adjudicate these things in context, at scale, real time for any of the ipl multi league multi game umpire yeah, but lots of leagues, lots of games, amateur professional, all of that. yeah. and to some extent for multiple sports. yes. all right. and by that mean there are many different rulebooks right. and some things look similar and some things look different but the the the the great thing about the ai is it's a polymath system, a scale humans can never do. and it turns out the aggregate ruleset that humans societies have created is a big high dimensional. and so while we can't administer things and adjudicate them even within one set of rules, i think going to be possible to to use it to combine these things such as you provide contextual adjudication, you know, across applications. one of the interesting things about the book that really makes it stand out is just how much the text is devoted to history and human. long before ai's came about and the ro

and and contradictions. and this is one of the central paradoxes and contradictions of his life that, yes, he was ideological. and you know, he went from being a new deal democrat who voted for fdr four times in a very ardent new dealer in the 1930s and forties, to somebody who by the early 1960s was a very right wing republican and, of course, burst on to national political scene, giving his his time for choosing address on behalf of barry goldwater in 64. and, you know, people forget just how radical reagan was by the early 1960s that he was, you know, claiming that every piece of social welfare legislation was going to lead america to communism. he was claiming that medicare and medicaid would be the end of freedom in america. he called it socialized medicine. he also had a weakness, as i discovered in the course of my book research for quoting these apocryphal quotes attributed to communist leaders explaining their dastoor the plot to destroy freedom america by advancing social welfare legislation, often

and there is some blood and some hair on ax. police are going to question lizzie, where were you during the crime? going to say she was out in the barn looking for stuff to take on a fishing trip. but they're also going to ask her, who would have done this to your mother? and she says coldly, she is not my mother. she is my stepmother. my mother is dead. no sign of robbery or forced entry and is unusual. cool for someone whose father has just been murdered and stepmother has just been murdered. phillip harrington, a veteran officer, interrogates lizzie. and although it seems in improbable that a victorian woman of the women's christian temperance union and a sunday school teacher could ax murder her father. he nevertheless after the questioning, becomes suspicious that she is the person who has the ability and perhaps the motive to commit the crime crime. now, remember, john morse, we're not going to go into detail there's some people to this day who think john morse is the perpetrator. you can look to the excellent materials po

and a caravan of klansmen and neo-nazis drove up and started shooting. and five people were killed. ten were injured, and no one was ever held criminally responsible for that shooting. this is 1979, not 1949, not 1959. and walked out of that meeting, i thought, how do i not know about this story? i think it says a lot about not just greensboro, but north carolina and all of us, you know and who. and so there were these sort mysteries that came out of it for me. one is, how does southern civil rights activist nelson johnson become a communist in the 70 se during the cold war? and i wanted to understand that journey. how could law enforcement have prevented this shooting? and if they could have, why didn't they? why the justice capable of handling what had happened? and then also, how do we heal from this this trauma, how do they heal? does greensboro heal? and so i went into this with this idea writing sort of a a nonfiction novel, if you will, that you can immerse yourself in the characters of this story, whether they're white supremacists or fbi agents or activists to explore sort

and and and so forth. so my basic approach was to project myself as an outsider who had experience as a governor, who had administered all the federal programs, you know, at the local, state level, who was at ease with the with the race issue. i had strong support from martin luther king senior. i had strong support from people like andy young. so putting all those combinations together was a key to my ultimate success. and i think that being from plains proved vividly almost every day when the reporters were there and and having that as a as a deadline byline or that i wasn't misleading anyone, that i was really an outsider and a lot of the things that i used for the campaign in my presence and the and the wheat fields and in the peanut fields, my my pictures and my own words. i had my own barn showed that i was really of, you know, a far more down to earth, the plains baptist church became a focal point of a lot of photogs sort of thing. today that i offered, i think were attractive, which was proven by
