i would like to point out our government is determined to modernize in a way that is benefi t pares when it comes to aluminum and steel i would like to underscore the fact that canada understands they are illegal and unjustified for the workers in the industry. the pplill noonr be able to provide electricity. because of the negligence linked to the mainland we are in jeopardy. will the minister show consideration for local politicians and residents who are fearing for their very survival by keeping them informed provide emergency plans? >> these people are our main priority and we are following very closely. i asked my department to act quickly in cooperation with the communities and the services that serve the community. we understand and we are working on a lasting solutto this problem. >> everyone supports the prime minister standing up to president trump. the government has announced the retaliatoryif targeting th electoral districts. unlike the previous american presidents, chum -- trump has hs personal business interests to apply up by further pressure as the government considered

welfare reform, debt reduction, you are absolutely right about immigration, you are absolutely es to benefi the economy. i -- i -- i don't understand why the democrats are doing what they are doing, they sure are lping them in the polls. if they go on this course, it will lead to them losing the senate as most observers predict, and even falling short of winning the house, which is something that still remains within reach for them. >> laura: wild. >> it is! makes no sense. >> laura: so great to talk with you tonight be a very important. speaking of 500 days, trump now has the backing of his own party like few presidents have had before him. we are going to debate that. antrump's message to the philadelphia eagles today, that is next. >> laura: welcome back to "tngraham angle." this morning, the president tweeted, this is my 500th day in office and we've accomplished t. more than any president. very competitive. in fact, most republicans do agree, based on gallup numbers, trump has the second-highest ratings ever by a president's own party after the 500 day mark at 87%. that second only to

those kinds of third order effects are benefial. there were some better equally nonbeneficial. you have to reassess. [inaudible] >> on this point there is a continuum of risk. currently, the national security agencies are up one position on operational. a question that i have though is very much like jim just said about where do we want to be. how will we know when we are done? how will we know what we are appropriately balanced? what is the point at which you would be comfortable writing the counter of this, saying we are doing too much now. i don't feel like we yet have a principled way of answering that question other than hearing which voices are yelling the loudest. >> i will disagree with both of you actually. and valerie will hopefully be on my side. i don't really think that we should dial up but that continuum. i'm closer to what is referenced in t paper and the implication the emergent effects and everything is we can't really calculate this very well. i don't tank we can or should dramatically dial down risk or dial it up. i think what we have to do as a better job o

if you need any form of therapy, lower oco-- copay, those benefis extend to all 15,000 plus members, it's not just those on dialysis. >> thank you. any other questions? any public comment or question or need clarification before we get to a motion? i may -- >> herbert winer, diabetic type ii. excuse me tardiness, i had to have a diabetic lunch and i just came in time to hear the presentation. this morning i got a very rude shock. for diabetic strips $52 to pay and then for strips it's -- for needles it's $19. now for clarification, i'd like to know what the present coverage is because they asked me if i had medicare type b. i believe that i have type d. i won't pay anything until i can get clarification. i hope this question isn't out of order because you know that you are making proposals for next year. i'm describing my present projectment and i would like some clarification. if i'm out of order we'll hold it for later this meeting. >> i would ask that you -- if you have a specific condition and question around your specific benefit that you would seek some clarification from our v

that includes the separation payout for the exetive officer -- executive director salary and benefi. legal services cost approximately $43,000. service costs by other department such as sfgovtv, and others around 13,000. th and then, on the cca work order side, the cost charge as of may 15, 2018, is about $2300 for the executive director's salary and benefits that occurred prior to his separation. a refund from nce for an incomplete portion of the study, and then -- mce for an incomplete portion of the study, and then $450 for the executive officer cca work. so here is your proposed budget for 2018-19, and i've included a rundown ofach line item in your memo. none of these numbers have really changed a lot since the april 20 budget presentation. this amount includes the estimate for executive officer services, and i would like to recommend today that you approve the final budget for fiscal 2018-19 in the amount of $273,000. that will be used about $24,000 that we can return to the city and county of san francisco. of course the commission reserves the right to retain the full amount

again, we feel it's mutually benefial for the department, for the workers, that we give those an opportunity to prosper in the city and county of san francisco. thank you. >> supervisor cohe: thank you. next speaker, pleas >> hello, chair and supervisors on the budget committee. i'm michael weinberg, political organizer sciu 10-1, and i'm speaking to you about the crossing guards as well. we've been to you before. we'veee attempting to raise the issue with the mta and they've beene t address any of the issues. so we're asking you to address the issues so that not only these wkers can be treated appropriately, but that the service is provided in a safe and fair manner. we know that crossing guards provide a valuable service that is very popular service in the city. the way the program is management now, it's not fair to either the taxpayers or the employees who are being mistreated andiven poor opportunities to provide services and the department spends an inordinant amount of money doing constant recruitments because of the low wages and compensation and hours. and those are things that need

you have a very motivated base to keep their particular benefi while in the grand scheme of things sometimes it looks like these programs may not cost us all a lot directly. s a classic case of that as well. >> beside the cost of taxpayers, why should americans even care how -- about these farm subsidies? >> one reason is that the subsidies do -- it they were responding to the market. some farmers are plowing up wetlands. to grow crops and part because the government is making it financially attractive for them to do so. another reason that may be very relevant in a time when everyone is paying close attention to trade is that how we subsidize our farmers, increases or decreases the risk of violating rules on subsidies. and ultimately inviting a wrt challenge. within the last decade we lost the challenge to brazil because of how our subsidies were designed. as a result of that taxpayers wound up literally with $800 million to brazilians. in order to compensate them for the impact of our subsidies. there are reasons for worry that this foreign bill will once again increase the vulnerabilities

he might make the wrong judgment call, make some type of agreement in the short-term that does not benefit states from a longer-term notion. minimum, both of these two leaders are getting what they want. the question for many americans is whether or not kim jong-un got more? did, that could pose a significant risk for the united of how thisrms would water down diplomatic relations in the region, and how denuclearization must occur. a.m., president trump's motorcade arrived at the capella hotel, the site of the summit. the president tweeted news 10 minutes later, his seniormost economic advisor had a heart attack. larry kudlow is now at walter reed medical center. later, the5 minutes president walked into that summit after kim jong-un arrived. then we see the body language, the smiles of these world leaders, now the meeting is underway. we are expected to hear from president trump himself following this expanded delegation. pompeo, and kelly are with president trump. >> we talked about south korea may be getting more. how would we know? >> if there is any sense sanctions are going to be li
