barbara smith and alicia cisca of the housing authority, london breed, president of the board of supervisorsmayor, and nancy pelosi. without these women, rad would not have been able to come to san francisco and be launched as the class act that it is. barbara and alicia had the sad task of informing us that the traditional funding was not in any way adequate to take care of the habitability of our housing and ultimately our housing itself. they applied to get rad to come to san francisco and it meant that the housing authority had to completely restructure itself, which was revolutionary and dauntsing. but their commitment was absolutely to the tenants inhabiting the housing that they were providing. they made sure, these two women, i know there were other people, but primarily these two women made sure that rad could come to san francisco. housing authority had to go through a lot of goalposts passing through in order to get it here. they did it. now it's here or it can be here. public financing and private financing, it had to be launched. they had to be brought together. so london breed,

the former law clerk of justice alito, barbara smith, barbara, what do you think?cked yesterday and this morning with the lack of decorum shown by some members of the judiciary committee. it's really almost unprecedented in terms of the last couple of nominations we have seen. obviously justice gorsuch's nomination hearing was a bit of a snoozefest so maybe democrats are reacting to that and taking exactly the opposite approach here. either way, it's a little surprising, especially on the heels of senator mccain's funeral last weekend and all the calls for bipartisanship and decorum in the senate. i really find it surprising. neil: what happens now? democrats know the numbers, the math here doesn't look good, but you can push for delay, i guess, shutting things down at 2:00 p.m. was a chuck schumer inspired moment there to try to delay this but again, mitch mcconnell comes back and said that he would shut down the senate but the judiciary committee could continue its work. all these parliamentary back-and-forth just means republicans still are getting their way. ri

and one day shirley showed up at barbara's house with a 3-month-old baby she called rhonda patricia smitha could see it was a little iffy but she wanted that baby so badly. and so she said she ignored the red flags. >> nope, didn't care. didn't really care. >> she was going to see to it, she said, that rhonda was loved and cared for by the best parents she could ever possibly have. bob and barbara legally adopted their little princess four years later in the fall of 1973. and it was shortly after that, said barbara, when shirley and renee showed up at her door. >> and the kids played together, and we visited together, and she asked if rhonda could come spend the night with renee. and took me a while to get an answer to that. i really had to think about that hard. i'm one of these tenderhearted people and i said, well, i want her to know her sister. >> sister? yes, barbara told rhonda she and renee were half-sisters, daughters of the same mother, the woman who worked the streets. barbara said by then, she didn't trust shirley with rhonda, but -- >> i want rhonda to know her sister. i wante
