they asked me what i knew. i responded that i had heard that there was an accidental shooting in a classroom. they asked me if i knew who the student who shot the gun, i said no. they asked me if i knew what grade he was in. i said i think he's a freshman. i realize there were five police officers with me and four more officers are rifles guarding the hallway. as i was in the hallway with the officers being questioned, i saw my phone flash, notifying me that someone is calling. i assumed it was my dad, so i told free, i think it's my dad calling, can you call him. he said don't worry, i'm going to be good. he texted me dad and said he was with me. freedom texted me the whole time and told me that he was going to be good. i was allowed to sit on the floor. after five minutes passed i saw two police officers come up the stairs. one police officer's pulled out handcuffs and they told me to get up. the police started talking to each other, then freedom told me that i was now a suspect and the officer cuffed me. the

yes please take your seat eleven chance to ask a question i can see. where are you. and reza newspaper mr president i think if you're just joining us welcome this is r.t. international our ongoing coverage of q. and a martin session with president putin with members of the russian foreign media a lot of interesting questions being raised there at the last one about whether he wants. to rule the world the wall street journalist not. giving quite an extensive answer to that as well well as you can see on the screen it's greek m.e.p. could log joining us on the program the beautiful backdrop of. number of issues there was there over the last one just coming up in three hours falling apart has been speaking about i know you've been listening to be answered by u.k. russian relations lord mayor putin said that they are in a stalemate the minute they should be fixed what can be done do you think on the feet. on the on the u.k. the russian relationship now is one of the question. i think it takes from both sides. to every approach especially from the part of. you know we don

i can ask smart questions. i can bring in some technical people to ask some even smarter questions, because as you can imagine at the national security agency, i'm surrounded by technical people, so you can leverage that to ask better questions. but i would say try to get yourself out of responding to group e-mail chains without doing that due diligence piece, because it could lead you to a bad outcome. >> i actually think e-mail has kind of hurt us a little bit. i think the way i attempt to deal with it is building a relationship with the client so, again, when i have to talk about tough issues, the client is honest with me, and we can talk through the facts. but, i mean, it's a difficult question. you know, if i don't have a good relationship with them and you're only using e-mails to try to figure out exactly if they're being honest with you so you can give the best advice to not only the direct client but also the larger client. >> so e-mail and technology may hurt us in some respects. i think that's a good

can we ask -- sean? >> it was a head-shaker. >> former press secretaries say it was the day spicer sacrificed his credibility. >> to call a special briefing and the first thing you go out there and do is attack the press for the coverage that was accurate. and right off the bat, you have a credibility problem. >> about that day, spicer now says, "if i could have a do-over, i would take it." but the tone was set. >> this is like the fourth time -- >> this is a different context. >> and it was combative. >> thank you, you've asked the question eight times. why are you asking why i didn't do it when i literally stood here and did it. this is silly. next? >> millions began watching. >> you also tend to overlook all the other sources. because i know you want to cherry-pick it. >> and spicer often beat some long-running soap operas in the ratings. >> you're minimizing the point, jim. it's not about one tweet. >> in the trump white house, facts mattered less than the story they were trying to tell. >> i think t

the next person that asks me, every question i ask is, i will have to ask and get back to you. understand that. >> the gentleman's extra minute is up. >> congressman, first of all, the mariana islands took a tremendous hit. we have over 1200 federal government employees responding. it is my understanding that we put roughly $3 million in the hands of those who have registered and were eligible for assistance. here's a problem in this goes back to my original opening statement. we have got to call, it is hard for us when the communication system is totally knocked out. a lot of our registration system is dependent upon whether it is phones, cell phones or the internet, and then being able to mobilize several thousand miles away disaster support teams to manually register people. door-to-door is a painstaking process. here's the thing. what i would ask of congress is, how do we work with the private sector, the verizon's, telecoms, at&t's of the world to make sure they are putting forward a resilient infrastructure that we need to use to communicate that does not get blown out by

any questions -- right here in the front, please. >> i'll ask the same question i asked ambassador bolton, so there is a list of 142 or so items that have been presented to the chinese and if they agree on behaving perfectly on wto and they agree to stop cyber theft, if they agree to ip protection, you mentioned dropping tariffs on autos, what else on the 142 list is really important, high priority for the u.s. side? >> by the way, i assume john mentioned this aspect, but whatever happens or doesn't happen, our monitoring and enforcement will be very, very strong. again, my former boss reaganed is trust but verify and the chinese are not good on that and we have a history. so whatever comes, i want to make that point. and i also -- the various aspects of the technology problems i'll call them are so important. we are talking about commodities, we're talking -- and i ask le eu hey and since it is not government -- and which is consistent with the prior views, tariff rates have to come down in order to achieve increased purchases. and he agreed. and i was delighted to hear that. that is a g

me or putin was asked whether. he believed that. it would be because of the visionary concern in the us withdrawal from syria i don't really know what that means for example the us has been present in afghanistan for the past seventeen years and almost every year they say that they are withdrawing their troops but they are still there now is the presence of american troops needed in syria but i don't think so let's not forget the presence there is illegitimate but it was not agreed either with the un security council nor with the syrian government if the us plans to withdraw and that is the right decision. closest to every washington heart of sanctions which has made life a little more painful for everybody in russia and putin was asked about those to which he replied look at look at history look at modern russia soviet russia sarris russia russia has always been under sanctions all forms there are restrictions put in place by enemies put in place by a hostile nations less than friendly nations who want to contain

so i asked him, i said immediately what does that mean. immediately is a good word. i don't know the answers to that, and it might b be a pulpit of a litmus test that he meant we are pretty far advanced in our discussions we can do these so that is the first time i heard that. along with the broad scopes of the topics on the table that suggested to me this was a bigger deal than the conversation. >> basic things about the 90 days that the u.s. has put on this. we haven't even acknowledged the time zone that the u.s. is expecting. >> we will see. i wouldn't read a lot into that. one of the things that was interesting to me president trump had been saying for quite some time he had a good relationship with the president i'd nevethat i'd never seen hime personally. i saw a chemistry between the two and i will add to the. president xi agreed quickly for president trump asked for a designation killing hundreds of thousands of people. almost without hesitation he says yes and second, later in the conversation he asks president xi what he'd reconsider the deal if it came up

can i ask for a favor, but can i ask you a favor?ou please connect me with blah, blah, blah because i know you know them. >> important to be specific what you're asking for. it does two things. one, helps the person that's going to help you get over the anxiety, i don't know what you want from me and threatens me a bit. also let's them know they can be effective. i want to tell you what i want you to do so i can do a good job. nobody wants to give bad help. >> it makes it easy. j.j., i'm starting something new, i'm very busy but falls down am i to dmam i to-do list no it will take a lot of time when the thing is what you need is just to proofread for me. make it easy it will get done. i don't have to think about how i can help you. >> exactly. being explicit exactly what you want helps people, can i fit this into my day? we're all really busy. it's a reason to be reasonable what you ask for add specific. >> i believe people really want to be help. it's like help me help you help me. so make it easy for you to help you. and always fol

>> it ask possible. you know, one of the things we find as we dig into the california vehicle code which some people on apply team have memorized, there is quite a bit of power for a city that is willing to be creative. you will hear more about that in 2019. >> any questions or comments? >> the 50% increase in the congestion on the streets. can you address to how the legislative program seeks to address that? >> tnts are regulated by the tpc. if there are proposals for fees in the context of pricing i don't know. that would be my best specific example i could come up with that i have heard about. >> really the ta commission on the report asked the ta to start redo the pricing study it did back in 2010. as you know, there is likely to resurface in the legislature a bill to authorize pilot congestion management efforts as there had been last time. i think those efforts could come together. that won congestion pricing for everybody. what we have specifically ask a law this past year that would allow us to p

ask them, do they disagree with the cia's conclusions? the they're answering a question they want to answer, they're not answering the real question. if the cia has looked at all of this information and says with a high degree of probability that we think the crown prince was involved, does secretary mattis and secretary pompeo disagree with the conclusions? that's not what they're seeing. >> have you asked them? >> i can't go anything i've asked them in a classified hearing. but i'm saying, i would, if i were in the media, ask them. if they're honest, they'll tell you they don't disagree with the conclusions, that the compilation of all the facts are, yes, he was involved. no direct evidence, no smoking gun, you know, i think that's open to argument. i really think that there's direct communication, the media's reported that the crown prince's brother directly communicated with khashoggi. and then the media's also reporting that there's communications in istanbul going to the crown prince's office at the time of the killing. i would want

it ask there a funding gap? is this your dream plan or would there be more in here or not a matter of funding? policy interventions. >> if we look back at the first almost five years. we have done per capita per any measure. i would say we have almost certainly invested more in zero engineering than any city in the country. i think the amount of work the board has done this fall ask a good indication. all of the streets reflect how aggressive you have been there. the other areas like enforcement and education and policies to the policy of safety, no low hanging fruit left. those are areas that demand more investment. we are talking to you about that in january. >> thank you. >> directors. do i have any other questions or comments? >> a couple more questions? does anyone else have more? >> i saw the better market street funding removed from the plan. i want to hear if there is a plan to restore that. two more quick questions? how do we happy the future? if we look at 2012. uber and lyft didn't exist. how does thi

they asked the question also about awareness of sfnta. this is asked for the past five years. in general how many are you with the mathe sfmta? what we have seen in the last couple years is there is considerable movement on that in terms of awareness of who sfmta is and now it jumps to 60%. there is a greatter awareness in terms of what you are and what you do. we have been asking a question alternatives to muni for the past two years. this does not go too far back but significant movement and change compared to previous years. think about the last muni trip. muni was not available how would you get where you needed to go? what you are seeing there is 44% are saying they would have used a ride-hailing service, a very, very large number. when you compare to last year, that is a 10% jump. that is a big jump in a year for any question like this. looking at other responses, use other transit such a bart, walk or ride a bicycle, not a lot of movement. looking at the bottom of the chart with a decrease, drive alone. that is down 4%. next get a ride also decreased. definite movement

speaker, i ask unanimous consent to take from the speaker's table the bill s. 3119 and ask for its immediate consideration in the house. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the clerk will report the title. the clerk: a bill to protect endangered and threatened species of salmon and other onlisted fish species. the speaker pro tempore: is there objection to the consideration of the bill? without objection the bill is read a third time and passed and the motion to reconsider is laid n the table. the chair announces the speak ear appointment pursuant to section 201-b of the international religion free tom thed 1998, u.s.c. 31 and orer of the house of january 3, 2017, of the following individual on the part of the house to the commission on international religious freedom or a term ending may 14, 2020. ogaba of: ms. anyarima illinois to succeed mr. daniel imarc. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will now entertain requests for one-minute speeches. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revi

it's not a reason not to ask for help but be reasonable what you're asking for and specific. >> and again i believe people really do want to help. it's sort of like help you help me help you. so make it easier for me to help you. and then always follow up. >> absolutely. one of the things people neglect to realize about helping is first of all it is inherently satisfying. most human beings are wired to want to help each other. it's one of the strongest sources of self-esteem and well-being we have is when we're helpful to other people. but the moment you really feel that is when you know your help landed. and so many times we ask someone for help, they agree to help us, and we never follow up and let them know what affect that had. there's research that the warm glow they're feeling is when they've had an impact. >> i impose upon you the first time to ask for this and now i don't want to write you back again, but that is the important part. >> if you care about the person who's actually helping, if you want to make it a win win where you're getting something and they're getting something,

he asked the question about treason. and one prosecutor said there was never any evidence to support that. later the prosecutor himself said, you know, we don't believe that mr. flynn committed treason and never ark certed that he in fact did. the judge came back, walk today back and described it as legitimate question to ask. >> dana: i saw people on twitter, of course, that is where i find opinions, suggesting maybe michael flynn won't be able to get a fair sentencing from sullivan since he brought up the word treason. i wonder what you thought about that, and you see defenders of flynn and the president saying that the f.b.i. did do something wrong. listen to something eli lake wrote on bloomberg site saying evidence is lacking, yes, he ark tended gala for russia propaganda network, rt, before the trump campaign. during the transition as add visor, flynn would have been expected. hold that thought, we have sarah sanders. sarah sanders: world economic forum will take place in switzerland from january 22-25. the preside

i don't know what they're asking. >> but you're not asking for a pardon?i'm not asking for a pardon and i'm not anticipating a pardon. >> do you understand why people don't believe you? >> yes, of course. i've had this issue all my life. when i come to decisions, i don't think the way people do. >> it's news worthy you were a target of this probe. >> correct. >> you are also known as a leader of the birther movement, question is a total and complete lie that you believe. is there -- let me finish the question. is this the same defense you are now trying to use with mueller as you have used in that political operation, which is that you stand for a lie, that you say you believe and your defense is, that because you genuinely believe the lie, you shouldn't be held accountable for it? >> i'll stand by what i said as true, even though you think it's a lie. you believe the state warranted conventional assumption, and i'm a conspiracy theorist, which is a term invented by the cia for people who doubt that lee harvey oswald, not at the peak of his game with a sho

i asked him, what did you mean. he told me. >> why didn't he ever clarify it. >> hold on, he sends me, we do. we did qualify, it's important. christopher, in april of 2018, donald j. trump the president and everybody else were told about the payments. >> he knew about it from its inception. he came up with the plan. >> no, no, no, hold on. you're saying incontrovertible based on the testimony of people who are trying to get a better deal and a lighter sentence for themselves. be fair here. don't call it because -- >> i have a tape of him discussing what to do with michael cohen. >> no, you have a tape -- >> yes? >> christopher, i've been involved in conversations like that on the 26th floor, not like that, but -- >> i was going to say, god for bid. >> no, no, no, hold on, but tell me this. cnn, you included, nobody out there said, you know, i think that donald trump is going to win this election unless he was paying off some of these women. >> it's not a relevant question. you. >> said he couldn't win. >> it's not a

i don't think it's too out rageous to ask them or outrageous to ask them to do another alternative that combines some of these things and maybe gets a better project for the project sponsor. if we ended up with a two-story edition over the building, if this was before us as a 10 or 11, they'd be asking for a c of a to say that's acceptable and we'd probably accept that. >> i think we could ask for refinement in the alternative but i'm not sure i'd say based on looking at the v.r. it doesn't adequately provide alternatives. >> the question is is this a design exercise or are we count on the e.i.r.? i'm not sure this is meant to be a design exercise right now. we have mr. fine. >> if i may interject to be helpful for clarity for staff. in the past this commission has spoke how to improve a preservation alternative to make it legally defensive to explore all the potential options at the site. as he mentioned, we could do 100 preservation alternatives but it's not really the scope of the e.i.r. because we haven't had an opportunity to really look at the neighborhood alternative because it's

we are all not as eager to ask for help as we should be.hink in this day and age when we talk about how important it is to have a network, how important it is to have allies we need to tap into that. >> or we're asking it in the wrong way and nobody is helping us, right? we know there are people who want to, but we're going about it wrong. i want to talk about the first thing you say here which is just ask a favor. >> oh, yeah. actually that's a really great technique especially if you don't really know someone well, they don't have any particular reason to want to help you personally. it turns out that if you preface asking for what you want by just saying, hey, would you mind doing me a favor and you have to wait until they say yes. then you ask for what you want, that's called precommitment. it almost doubles the rates of helping so people will actually be much more likely to help because they feel like i already told you i would, so i'll be extra bad if i turn around and say no. it's not a technique you want to use with people you have

i sure do. >> she's sitting here, what do you ask her? >> what do i ask her?k her what happened? you know, what happened to the mother i had, you know? >> when we spoke with michael, he said he was trying to focus on the future, and his family friend, michelle amerson says she's there to help him. >> you're still kind of a second mom for michael? >> yes. >> how's he doing in your opinion, michelle? >> michael's doing better. you know, we have had a lot of heartache over his loss, and you know what he's been through, but he's a trooper, and he has a lot of people standing behind him. >> reporter: becky sears and her husband tony, they divorced, and kay's husband david, he remarried staying in the house where it all happened. derrick just 12 years old at the time of his mother's death went into the marine corps, and for kay's friends, their memories of her remain. >> what were your last words to her and you know they're never going to be the last words they were? >> i said -- i'm sorry. i said you know i love you, girl, and she says, i know. i know. and i said,

his friend, corsi to go ask somebody to ask into assange.use he made it up. and that's what he did. he was playing. he was puffing. remember that? and now he says i would never say anything untrue. a little bit of mixed thoughts there. >> well, i think what he said is he'd never say anything untrue under oath. look, i'm not going to stand here -- [ laughter ] -- and say roger stone has ever said anything that's untrue because that would be untrue. well, i'm not in front of a grand jury, i'm in front of you. >> good point, rick. good point. >> so look, what stone is saying is i'm not going to say anything untrue to the grand jury. and what trump is saying, good for you. i don't see that as a problem. >> rick, i don't have a problem with him lauding someone, but christine when it comes to michael cohen, he says that guy should get the book thrown at him. >> yeah. >> so, you have a president of the united states weighing in on what the sentence should be from someone who gave damaging testimony about him. we have never heard that before from a

i don't know what they're asking. >> but you're not asking for a pardon. >> i'm not asking for, or anticipatingdon. >> do you understand why people don't believe you? >> yes, of course, i've had this issue all my life. >> it is news worthy that you were a target of this probe. >> correct. >> you also, politically, are known as a leader of the birther movement. >> yes. >> which is a total and complete lie. >> okay. >> that you believe. is there -- let me finish the question. is this the same defense you are now trying to use with mueller as you've used in that political operation, which is that you stand for a lie, that you say you believe and your defense is that because you genuinely believe the lie, you shouldn't be held accountable for it? >> i'll stand by what i think is true, even though you believe is a lie. you believe the state warranted conventional assumption. i'm a conspiracy theorist, which is a term invechnted by the cia for people who doubt that lee harvey oswald, with a used italian rifle that didn't shoot straight and a misaligned sight, killed jack kennedy shooting past a tree

mcconnell: i ask for the yeas and nays on my amendment. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the yeas and nays are ordered. all those in favor say aye. mr. mcconnell: i have a second-degree amendment at the desk. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from kentucky, mr. mcconnell, for mr. kennedy, proposes an amendment numbered 4109 to amendment numbered 4108. mr. mcconnell: i ask that the reading be dispensed with. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. mcconnell: i ask that the second-degree amendment be divided in three parts in the form at the desk. the presiding officer: the senator has that right. mr. mcconnell: i send a cloture motion to the desk for the motion to concur with further amendment. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the motion. the clerk: cloture motion, we, the undersigned senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule 22 of the standing rules of the senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motio

i can't go into anything i have asked them in a classified hearing, but i would if i were the media ask them. my guess, if they are on this, they will tell you they don't disagree with the conclusions. but the compilation of all the facts are that yes he was involved. but we are playing a game of words here. no direct evidence, no smoking gun, i think that is open to argument. i really think that there was direct communication, the media has reported that the crown prince brother directly communicated with khashoggi and the media is also reporting there is communications in instanbul going to the tram -- crown prince's office. the definition of deep state is rank-and-file people excluded from oversight. i can have no oversight and the deep state simply means the intelligence community has too much power. too much power that is independent of representative oversight. and has nothing to do with which president there is. i would say the same weather was a democratic republican -- or republican president. >> the secretary of state or defense could come and speak probably about it, that is

the judge asked that question directly to him. take us inside that moment when the judge said did you understand when you sat down for the interview that lying to the fbi is a crime. >> exactly. the judge asked him, did he understand that lying to the fbi was a crime. he said yes, your honor. the two lawyers were standing next to him and he asked whether he thought he was entrapped. the lawyers are saying no, he did not feel entrapped. this goes back to a court filing that the defense made a few days ago in which they raised the s of michael flynn's interview and the fact that the fbi came in and didn't give him warnings about lying to the fbi. michael flynn was unguarded and he raised the question and said you were unguarded. does that mean thaw didn't know lying to the fbi was a crime? again, michael flynn repeatedly said he accepted responsibility for making those false statements as well as saying he wanted to complete guilty today. the judge, i think this 30-minute delay was partially to give mike flynn one more chance whethe

we ask the applicants to physically mail, and then, if someone didn't get the physical mailing, we ask them to post on the pole. in the case of the tentative approval, in this case -- sorry. in the case of the notice for our public internal public hearing, we had three forms of notice. we e-mailed the -- the protesters, and we asked the applicant to send a mailing and an e-mail to the neighborhood associations, and we know that -- i mean, the protesters are here. we know that they got the notice one way or the other, and i think that is why that -- we try today have more than one method for each step. and in the case of the final determination, we e-mailed the protesters, but we also require a physical posting. and i think it's in part to address those kinds of concerns. that's what's in the legislation, and that's what we did. but i understand the question that one way might not be enough, so we try to do two because it's -- >> vice president swig: except for those that only go out by e-mail, and that would undermine the whole process because all you've got to do is blow one communica

we are not asking permission anymore. we need to say, you need to take a step back, talking contraceptives, there are many things you can talk about, areas you have experience in. [laughter] but really, we have great women that have great policies that mean something to america, and they need to be about to voice -- and they need to be able to voice those opinions. step one, recruitment, step two support, and step letting women three, take the charge on issues that are important. rachael: have you talked to republican leadership since her defeat and the feelings you have, the frustration? rep. love: i am not asking permission, i'm going to go out and do it. rachael: for them, in terms that they are building the party and bringing in republican women? rep. love: we are talking to more of the women instead of the leadership. no one is going to give us anything, we have to go out and take it. i hope they get that message, because i have tried in the past to do what i can, we need to do more of this and get women involved. th
