we asked for 18. we wanted to ask for 30. we only got nine from the mayor's office, but we'd like to ask for more vehicles, please. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor cohen: next speaker. >> good morning. my name is shannon mcdonald, i'm the director at conserv conserveatory program. in 30 years, we have served more than half a million students as an institution of san francisco health curriculum. supported by supervisor sheehy, n we received funding from the city in fiscal 17 and 18 we has enabled us to serve thousands more youth each year. we serve more than 15,000 sfusd students and 84 shows at 53 schools. we need your support in order to keep bringing youth awareness messages of acceptance, nonvials, hiv/aids education and -- nonviolence, hiv/aids education and the importance of performances to san francisco's next generations. thank you. >> good morning. my name is kayla. i'm a local actor and educator, and i work with the new conserveatory theater. when i was in 2010, i saw the teen play they pr

i would ask you fund -- defined the tasers and certain salary attrition things and add it to our ask. we need it. especially for the 3300 homeless students in the system. it is shameful. we owe them a chance to get out of where they are. imagine, supervisors would you be where you are if you went to school every day at hungry and unaware of where you were asleep at night? i know i wouldn't be here. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. i am with the coalition of homelessness. i'm concerned about the $3 million used to supply the police with tasers. i believe that tasers increase police fatalities, and i think san franciscans made their voice clear on tasers in prop h. i would prefer that money would be put to better use it to assist the homeless, such as the right to council, which cost $2 million. if you supply tasers, i think you would collectively share the burden of the increase loss of life that will result. i hope you increase that ask. the budget should be used to help people, not tase people. we have the resources to end homelessness and all we want i

it is a large ask. i would not have it start on july 1st because it is not ready. >> supervisor cohen: i have a couple questions. have you been in touch with their respective departments? the chief and the sheriff? >> supervisor kim: not the police chief, yes to the sheriff. >> supervisor cohen: could you share with us -- i mean i don't know. i haven't talked to either one of them. i don't know if this is something they are open to or if it is possible. >> supervisor kim: this is something sheriff hennessy has told me as a program they would like to do. and actually it is something they've talked about for years. it has been this overall discussion in terms of how we divide up duties between the deputy sheriff and our police officers. there are certain things that i think our deputy sheriff can do and should do at a lower cost, and it frees up officers to be on the ground and walk our core doors and do the work that our constituents ask us to do on a daily basis. >> supervisor cohen: i will pave it to t

i would really like it done, you know, -- the ask is really $600,000 is what you are asking for. i translate it -- based on what she was describing, the was talking in year one. it is desirable for it to be seen manifest in your two. that is the assumption i am making unless you indicate

may i ask for a moment. yes, you may. >> the judge says while he's doing that, mr. zehasonye, whil you you are correct that rules of evidence do not apply. strictly speaking as you will know from looking at the law. individuals of gifts that you have and engaging and verbal atomic footwork and you got a rhythm going and who knows what the witness will agree to. the prosecutor says fair enough, your honor and the judge says he would be surprise what answers you get. i worked for one lawyer when i first aarrived. he had a successful litigation life and experience. he's in the great litigation land in the sky now but he did well while he was here. the judge says next question. >> i will pick up from here. >> i didn't edit that. that's how it went. >> anyway, next question. i know a lawyer once who did not ask questions. he's dead now. >> the judge also at one point seems to get hungry. on page 67 of the transcript, no, tell me in a sentence, it is lunchtime. there is also this one moment, do you have anything t

nix: could i ask you, mr.chairman, what makes you presume that anything was removed from the office at that time? mr. collins: there were photographs of boxes being removed and things taken out. is that still the case? under a happy for you to say if that's not the case. mr. nix i want to know where : you're getting your information from. my understanding is that those photographs were from personnel who worked in a different office on a different floor that had absolutely no connection to do with cambridge analytica and that the media simply interpreted this in the way that they thought was beneficial to them. mr. collins: so as far as you're concerned, there was no documents filed. anything removed? mr. nix: i can tell you that the people or person in those photographs was not part of cambridge and those boxes were not ours. mr. collins and there was no : other removal of documents or information, whatever it may be, from cambridge analytica offices during that week? mr. nix: as far as i'm aware, were the on

i ask unanimous consent to enter that study into the record. the conversation about i drug prices are happening around the dinner table, the pharmacy counter and all throughout the country. it is time congress has this important discussion and works to end -- toward american real reform. donald trump has repeatedly called the out for price gouging and promised to do something about it but the blueprint on drug prices issued by the administration instead of lowering drug prices contained a set of weak and ineffective proposals that i'm sure had to sign off on the pharmaceutical industry and thousands of lobbyists. this was made clear when pharmaceutical corporations stock soared after the plan was released. the trump administration shifted around the cost to millions of americans without access to affordable medicine. he also handed pharma it number one priority, raise the price of prescription drugs abroad, blaming other countries for negotiating lower prices will not reduce prices here at home. greedy pharmaceutical companies are the reason dr

i don't know the specifics of what questions were asked. which questions were objected to and what the context is, in my experience as a prosecutor, as a lawyer on the other side of it. those kind of details matter. so i really can't speak to whether or not a particular objection makes sense. i would need to know a lot more about that. i will say that it is a longstanding principle recognized by the inspector general, in this report that we don't discuss ongoing criminal investigations, not just publicly, but with congress. >> mr. chairman, for the record, the 800,000 or so records that earlier the deputy attorney general was talking about how difficult and how long it took to produce them, is it my understanding that they're being looked at in camera? and as such, if there were any information that, that of the type that they said they want to protect, those would, those could be objected to before they're released. isn't that true in. >> that's correct. >> so the fact that all of the objections that we've heard about the delay really don'

i ask mr. william there seems to be a conflict of interpretation of what happened and could you suectter includingselves in the commenting on the issue of this being advisement to be continu continued. >> commissioner i admit this is an unusual situation. this has been in ant out of the department in different forms for several year. the department in it's initial form, my recollection whether it's a proposal to do an addition on the existing school building and on the front facade and we expressed strong reserves about itse oau the historic nature of this building. subsequently the church wanted to demo that same building and wexp con f that as well. we have been in an awkward position where a process to demolish a fairly large resource. it's unusual for us to support a fairly large resource being demolishes. the reason this is in front of you today is because the project sponsor has asked you and he is correct asking you whether you want to consider allowing the project to move forward. the r

so i ask my friend again, mr. speaker, what changes will be affected in the bill that would be brought to the floor? or are we going to be told when they are brought to the floor what those changes are? and i yield to my friend. mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, it's quite interesting to me to listen to my friend. he's complaining that somehow he's not involved. mr. speaker, he's complaining about those numbers and hours that he -- those number of hours that he sat in my office. not just himself. senator durbin. chief of staff to the president. secretary of homeland as well. and senator cornyn. and we worked time and again. but every time we try to find compromise, we even went to the point of their number one issue, and the president went beyond of what they even asked. but they said no, we can't do anything else. they said, all they wanted to do was go do a discharge petition. that's all they wanted. they didn't want to work through the system. but that was not unusual. because my fr

you have the right to ask questions of your board and your association. >> ask some questions about ifculties been going on. you know, are there any unhappy people in the community about -- have been -- they feel have been dealt with in, uh, maybe not the same as everyone else? >> the condition of the community is your first sign of potential issues with management, the possibility of future costs. so look closely as to the condition of your community both before you buy and after you buy. >> it's a hard timing thing to do when you're looking at purchasing. but if you don't commit that time, i would suggest to not purchase a home in a homeowners association. >> well, there's certain things you surely can do and that is go around to talk to the neighbors. >> mm-hmm. >> because talking to the board itself could be self-serving. uh, if there's a property manager on site, that's good. to whatever extent they would allow you to see those things that are on the website, budgets... >> mm-hmm. >> things like that, assessments that are coming, any construction defect issues that occurred in the

>> could i ask you, mr. chairman, what makes you present anything was removed from the offices at that time? >> there were six boxes removed and things being taken out. it was reported on, if that's not the case, i'd be happy just >> i wanted to check to see where your information was for him. those photographs, my understanding, they are from personnel that worked in a different office on a different floor that had no connection to do with analytica cambridge and the media interpreted this in the way it was made beneficial to them. >> as far as you're concerned, the documents filed -- >> the people or persons in those photographs were not part of cambridge and those boxes were not ours. >> there were no removed documented information from cambridge analytica offices. >> as far as i am aware. ico were the only people to remove documents and files from the office. >> they did not go into the offices until the end of the week. that week, you are aware, nothing was taken from the offices. >> as far as i am awar

there were so many signals that i was asked. i was asked if it was a win-win or a kim win? i think it is a kim win and secretary mike pompeo has a big job. >> let me go back to secretary mike pompeo. you and i have both been very vocal over the last year about concerns over budget cuts, concerns over making sure the state department has its share of full personnel. democracy programs have been a priority for both of us. when secretary pompeo reached out to you, i know he asked for advice, what was your advice? >> he did not yet ask for the advice. he called and said he was interested in some of the things that i had written. i had in fact written about the state department budget and the importance of it and democracy. i do think i listen to the last group, when you talk about how much the state department budget is, i am all for the military. this is not a matter of trade- off. the budget from the defense department is kind of like $700 billion. the budget for the state department is $38 billion. it is crazy. we are asking our diplomats to do things very difficult for them

we ask the board to do what you can to grow the pot and to prioritize the budget justice coalition ask and will assist our vulnerable and low-income communities who have been left out of the city's wealth explosion. i want to touch on the process. we want to ensure that this body achieves its goals of transparency and community engagement. i w i am concerned about the limit of public comment time to one minute which limits speakers to broad generalized comments without time to discuss policy. we ask that you also do not delay any of the add backs, make your add backs as specific as possible because it takes a lot of time to r.f.p. and contract things, get the money out to the community as quickly as possible. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is deanna. i'm here to ask you to please consider parents for public schools and keeping them in the budget. they do an incredible service for the community, particularly for marginalized parents, mostly parents of color and immigrant parents in bridging the gap of understanding from maybe the pu

community asking for benefits were they asking for too much? i say to you th we're not asking for anything. these are the rights we have been given from this board to the community. what is being asked is for things to be taken away and that's not fair and that's not right. not without due process. this city is a light tower and a beacon of light that shines throughout the country this country follows what we do. unfortunately december 12th, our beacon of light was extinguished and wearwaiting the next few days we will have a new beacon of light that will ss a us hope and opportunit .l.a. that works for all. nease defer this and vo on 28. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon my name is nina [inaudible] with [inaudible] i would like to express our objection to the proposed p.l.a. dinance that public project is discriminated against small contractor. the ordinance take employment opportunity away from the san francisco residents. the audience ordinance will discriminate against non union. this was put together hastily

i i want to ask you questions that i've asked before. we had a meeting, a classified meeting with your departments. and i'm still in search of answers, and the answers i'm in search of is that if you have identified who drafted the report and way more important than the individual, the department and what was the basis for the report. i'd like to ask both of you to respond to that. >> you're talking specifically about the report regarding black identity extremists. >> likely motivated to target law enforcement officers is the long-winded name of that report. >> as to who drafted it, i don't have that information. with me, certainly. i thought that the meeting that i had with you all and your colleagues, i think it was about two hours, i thought was very constructive i appreciate hearing your concerns, i hope you understood how we went about it the way it did. that conversation has prompted us to go back and take a very hard look at how we are bucketing the different categories of domestic terrorism. and i think it's been a useful learnin

love that you ask that question because they're always asking these big politicians and these people that are over and heads of of in are in different things but let's actually talk to the teachers let's get a teacher in front of the camera and ask them face to face one when the woman man to man what do you want how do you want to be safe and i promise you over and over again you will hear them say that it has nothing to do with putting a gun on their arm and people hearing that would make a difference wouldn't oh yeah it was wholly make a difference because it's not just coming from from different sources or this source that at this source that is coming right straight from the people that are dealing in these classrooms every single day and they want to be saved just as much as they want the kids to be safe and that's important well i know how busy you are so i appreciate your time tonight thank you georgia state representative erika thomas. although he survived a mass shooting in two thousand and sixteen when a gunman killed one and injured six outside a houston church marcelle mc

so, again, this is national ask day. we're asking everyone, just ask a simple question -- where your children are going after school to another residence, family member or friend, ask a simple question -- is there a loaded, unlocked gun in that house? and be sure it's secured and help save the lives of so many children. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from delaware seek recognition? without objection. ms. blunt rochester: mr. speaker, i rise today to urge my colles to ain votegainst the partisan g.o.p. farm bill. mr. speaker, i traveled across my state and heard countless stories from delawarians of all backgrounds -- farmers, emergency food providers and working families. and i want to share one story. during kids day at the lewis farmers market, every child who attended with a snap participant was given $5 in tokens to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables. one boy, clutching his tokens asked --, is this enough to buy a peach? the organizers told the boy, it was enough to buy

. >> we ask simple questions. what makes you happy. what do you like to cook and everywhere in the world we go and ask these simple questions, we tend to get some really astonishing answers. >> more importantly even -- >> it is hard to imagine he is gone. hard to imagine he is not just off on some far away journey. hard to imagine that he will not soon return with new stories to tell, and food to share. >> food is an entryway. i have spent 30 years cooking food professionally. that is how i am going to look at the world. but food isn't everything. and something comes up, i am happy to get up from the meal and wander elsewhere. >> experiencing life in a way most people never will. in places near and far, he talked and tasted with open mouth and eyes and open heart and mind. over the years when anthony returned, we would meet up and discuss the places he had just been. usually in a restaurant table or kitchen where he would expand my food curiosity. >> word on the street is you hate food. >> i am not a foodie. >> what is going freak out

i am a little bit surhey didn't ask straightaway that they didn't ask for bail revoked or revise.gregious. i think it is possible that they will bring additional charges which is the obstruction statute. and c, there is a decent chance this evidence is going to come in to show he was conscious of what he was doing was wrong. i am surprised why the hearing is going to take place 11 days from now and not sooner. maybe the judge is trying to give the defense a chance it respond to allegations. but if you read the do the allegatio seem strong. >> thanks very much. when we come back, epa chief scott pruitt is in trouble. and thenate spade, a look back. 6,000 feet above sea level. but how do you really know that the beans journeyed to the port of mombasa and across the pacific? that you can trust they're 100% authentic? ibm blockchain. ensuring this coffee a smardid indeed comeevery step, from 6,000 feet e sea level. and not a foot lower. ♪ ♪ this one's below market price and has bluetooth. same here, but this one has leather seats! use thcars.com app to compare price, features and valu

so let me ask you. two investigations that were ongoing in 2016, could you just very briefly say what they were? two investigations regarding presidential candidates. what were those investigations? what was the investigation? >> i won't comment on any investigation that may have been ongoing. i know there's publicity but i won't comment about it. >> can you comment on the ig report? what is the ig report about? >> yes. it's about a variety of occurred in the fbi in 2016 and 2017. >> relating to? >> it is primarily focused on the hillary clinton e-mails but the inspector general addressed a few issues about that as well. >> did the investigation come to a conclusion in 2016 to your knowledge? >> the hillary clinton e-mail investigation? it did based upon public reports. >> and based upon public reports was the department of justice satisfied with those -- the end of that investigation? >> congresswoman, i have the same response i have to mr. gates. i wasn't there and i'm not the one to comment on whethe

meaning i'm allowed to ask leading questions. but i can ask it as a more open question if you prefer. the judge says, yes, i would prefer you did that. go. and then at that point in the transcript i won't read that exact part of it but at that point the judge just himself starts asking all his own questions to the witness the way he thinks the questions should be asked, demonstrating to the lawyers in the court how he would prefer it to be done more to his taste. and so then the prosecutor in fact starts asking questions more like that, in a more open-ended way. and then just a few minutes later in the transcript they are taking a break, because paul manafort's defense counsel has to look at something that's been introduced into evident that the defense lawyer hadn't seen before. sew asked for a second to look at that, and then this happened. the defense counsel for paul manafort says, "may i ask for a moment, your honor?" the judge says yes, you may. paul manafort's defense counsel says thank you. and then the judge says, while

>>. >> are you asking me? >> i was asking ana. >> i have no idea. i am not a trump whisperer.ea what goes through his head. what we do know what his initial policy is. as which he denies. it was done because of national outrage. republican senators, republican congressman, evangelicals. chamber of commerce, and i can go on and on. this is not something that he did out of compassion. this is not something that he did out of humanity. >> steve, there are a number of republicans on capitol hill who have put forth hiring more judges. there is a backlog. they are talking about hiring a lot more. and that is not something that the administration is supportive of, certainly not the president, why do you think that is. you talked about expediting removals, wouldn't more judges help expediting the process. >> it might very well and i would advise the president to reconsider that. i hate bureaucracy, but in this case, we might need bureaucracy. trump voters like me, and all the people i talked to, these are near term fixes, long-term, it is a border wall. that is what we need. that will
