this is all the result of ranked choice voting. if you aren't familiar, abc 7 news anchor kristen sze explains how that system works. >> reporter: let's go to the abc 7 cafe. i'll explain using sticky notes. we'll keep it simple. four candidates. let's say purple is my top choice. if i can't take purple, i'll take blue. if blue doesn't win, i'll go with orange. now let's add up everyone's votes, 20 sticky notes for 20 voters. my candidate, purple has the most first choice votes with seven. if it has over 50% as in 11 votes, it wins the election. if it doesn't have the majority, then things get interesting. the bottom vote better is now eliminated. that would be orange. orange voters, now we go to your second choice. two more for yellow. one more for purple. purple still doesn't have majority. so now a new round. the new bottom, blue gets eliminated. blue voters' second choice votes are distributed. now we have a majority. you can see yellow is the winner even though it started out with fewer first choice votes than purple. you may

almost in the class with choice. v.a. accountability. now if people do not do a great job, they cannot work with our vets anymore. they are gone. [applause] we are very proud of accountability. wethe campaign, i promised would fight for veterans choice. before i knew much about it, it seemed to be common sense. if they are waiting for line for nine days and can't see a doctor, why are they going outside to see a doctor and take care of themselves and we pay the bill? it is less expensive, it works out better, it is immediate care. it is what we are doing. we are allowing our veterans to get access to the best medical care available, whether it is at the v.a. or a private provider. i will keep that promise i have been making ever since the first day of my campaign. seems like a long time ago. i'm going to sign legislation that will make veterans choice permanent. i cannot stress the people here, the people in the audience, senators, congressmen. the great people working at the v.a.. soon to be secretary wilkins. -- secretary wilke. have d

, but a quality of choice, their first choice, and then their second choice, and possibly a third choice, and how that balances out mathematically, we saw that in san francisco, certain decisions, and results that were not determined for weeks and weeks, and held up in court, because the rings choice didn't give us a clear winner, that becomes a problem. the so-called statewide primary, the idea is from the grassroots, not the parties, they don't like this, this is the idea to allow more democracy with a small d, more people to be involved in the process, and the ugly part is that you hademocrats, canceling each other's parties out, but ultimately the idea was to make california more open to everyday voters. >> california is a democratic state, no one would disagree with that, and the recent figures that came up, that said republicans are now the third party in california, after independent voters, what do you see happening in this election, seats, the house primaries, for republicans? >> voters are funny, this is the state of pete wilan ronald , american conservatism, politically, not c

what a beautiful word that is, choice. freedom to our amazing veterans. i want to welcome our veterans. we have many here today. e giver and servicemember who has joined us. during the campaign, i said, why can't a just go see a doctor? w they can ge it is going to be great. you fulfilled your duty to our nation with tremendous loyalty and courage. with the signing of this legislation, we take one more crucial step in fulfilling our duty to you. we are pleased to be joined by our great vice president, mike pence, along with my nominee to va, robert wilke. great job. working along with robert is secretary. that is a great team. some of our many leaders, i called him lears, because on this legislation they are leaders. eyai it would be slow. . frank.we just passed we just got $700 million -- billion dollars for military. that was a big one. the military is going to be stronger, bigger than before. hopefully we will not have to use it very much. the fact that we have it so strong probably means we will not have to use it as much. i want to tha tple that help

in column one, mark your first choice. in column two, mark your second choice. make sure that it's a different candidate. in the third column, mark your third choice. make sure that is a different candidate than your first choice or your second choice. all first choice votes are counted, and that will hold exactly -- if no candidate gets 50% plus one vote, then ranked choice voting kicks in. and the last place vote getter is eliminated, and the second choice for those voters is redistributed, and that goes on as elimination from the bottom and redistribution until a candidate has 50% plus one vote. remember, that vote could be yours. we have lots more information, both from the department of elections and from the organization fair vote back on the table that explains a little bit more detail on this, and the department also has a ua video on ranked choice voting at our website, which is sfelections.org. again, thanks for being a voter, and enjoy the evening. [applause]. >> thank you so much, jill, for that helpful overview. we want to thank sfgovtv and the asia

goingave a choice of straight ahead or left at the intersection. untilt have that choice wednesday. i was mandated to pay a fee. you believe all unions are bad in the fees that they charge? guest: the problem is the co-worship, forcing people to pay for advocacy on public policy issues they may disagree with. the first amendment never allow that. this was a unique situation where one private entity was getting co-worst funds for its advocacy. all we want is a situation were the government isn't favoring one side or the other with this. speak to steve. this is one of the most bogus stories that has come before the supreme court. i think mr. janice is no more than a mold put in place. and represented companies that have been breaking into -- breaking up unions for years. mr. janice is receiving the of safety, and good raises. that is why companies don't want unions to bargain for these things. is bogus for him to bring up this. he doesn't even do that job anymore. to helpust put in their bust up unions. ost: you plan to return to work. guest: i will be back in the office monday. i'm n

service and customer choice. so that's one thing that i think that we'd like to also work more -- work together on to ensure. that champions of what we're doing are able to represent san francisco in these forums. so -- but, you know, the cpuc heard us out along with others. there's some complex issues. but like i said i think that the report itself is alarmist. really unnecessarily so. and a lot of what they're concerned about are issues that are under their purview and being addressed through open proceedings they have that can be -- can be addressed through their public process. so i think that we'll have to see a little bit with respect to how much influence and how much we're being heard but definitely now is the time to -- to let the cpuc know that, you know, our communities care about this process. and that we want to have choice and we want to have community energy so that there's a fair level playing field for us to participate in. >> vice chair pollock: just in terms of how the green book might influenc

the word choice sounds good, but the system of choice requires my wife and i to drive around the city for hours to get our children to and from their schools and requires us to attend countless open houses with programs, dual enrollment in advanced math and reading and state-of-the-art technology but with no mechanism to ensure that we are given wha what we've been promised. this is my children's lives and their education. they don't get to do it again. even more than choice, they deserve a quality education and parents deserve a voice in that education. thank you. >> you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. chairwoman, ranking member scott, members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. my name is marty west, associate professor at the harvard graduate school of education and a member of the board of elementary secondary education of the commonwealth of massachusetts. it's often called the nation's report card and the results show a slight uptick in the reading scores of authorized but were otherwise flat. this progress has led some to q

rank choice voting is in effect.ee what happened with mark leno, we'll know later this week in rms who becomes mayor of san francisco. bumark leno and jane kim, that will affect politics. that is a lesson for folks like london breed that you need to build alliances with political enemies which is different. >> do you like rank choice voting? >> academics like rank choice votings. voters door tend to be confused. we like it. you just have to spend a lot of time and investments and people economize. >> at one point, london breed had a 10 point lead. >> that's right. and mark leno were underperforming in all of the polls. that switched. that's why rank choice voting can make for a good spectator sport. is this typically san francisco politics? we had leno and kim together? the fix was on from the beginning. >> that's another chapter in the crazy politics of san francisco. >> when i say the fix, not to have london breed as mayor. >> that's right. you see someone like willie brown. he was able to navigate that. we need wi

he does have freedom of choice, ebert said. i find all this exasperating. every once in a while when i watch her program, i get mad and this really burns my toast really bad. mr. janus, it's unfair what is happening to you. i'm in your corner. this kind of thing ought to draw some picket line people, man. good luck to you in your case and i hope you get all the fairness and justice that you are due. thank you. host: it did on monday. mr. janus: thank you. it did go that way, and the decision was much better than what we actually thought it was going to be. host: in what way? mr. janus: there was the one clause in the decision where now, an individual must declaratively opt in to a union, instead of the opt out. i think jacob could explain that better than i can, but that was a big win. host: go ahead. court just said that if the government is going to take money from anybody for union, that person needs to give affirmative assent clearly, which probably means in writing you have to say a want to give money to the union or i want to be a union member. the go

choice devoid of choice will exacerbate segregation. in closing, again, i refer to the words of the article, the more flexibility there is in a school system, the stronger the policy needs to be. in other words, public school choice with public oversight and strong accountability can improve our system as a whole. choice devoid of strong policy will not. thank you, madam chair, and i yield back. >> pursuant to committee rule 7c all members will be permitted to submit written statements to be included in the permanent hearing record. without objection, the hearing record will remain open for 14 days to allow such statements and other extraneous materials to be submitted for the official hearing record. i will now introduce our distinguished witnesses. mrs. nina reese is the president and chief executive officer of the national alliance for public charter schools. mr. gregoritsch monday is the president and ceo of the national association of charter school authorizers, nacsa. mr. jonathan clark is a parent and community activist in detroi

for example, mark leno is saying put me as top choice and put jane kim as your second choice so we can that strategy seems to have worked for mark leno. it's very close as we see. that's going to get a lot of attention. it's only san francisco and oakland that use that system at this point. >> the chronicle accused leno and kim when they first announced they would be tag teaming of gaming the system in an unprecedented way. do you think that's fair criticism? >> you can look at the top two where some said newsom was pushing cox. i'm not sure gaming the system is the right way to put it. >> isn't all politics gaming the system? we're going to continue talking to you throughout the morning about a host of topics. we appreciate your expertise. >>> let's talk about what happened in san jose. sam liccardo expected to remain mayor. no ranked choice voting there. 74% to 15% over second place competitor steve brown. at his acceptance speech, liccardo thanked everyone for their unwavering support. also in the south bay, voters have spoken in the recall of judge aaron persky. this was so controv

he says it gives them choice.e said no person should have to wait to see a doctor eight, nine days. they should have the choice to see who they want. this is the mission act for the veteran affairs that the president has just signed after comments that were detailed on how he sees the issue and how he wanted to help. in the end he says he wants to shore up the v.a. so veterans won't need to use the program so much but it's there for him now. it will take some time to roll this in. we have been reporting maybe a year or so. but we will cover it as it happens. president signing the mission act for the v.a. you saw it live. meanwhile, the top 2020 campaign going on offense against the main stream media. campaign manager brad parscale launching a website saying it will highlight the president's achievement and push back against the media's lies, mistakes, distortions and underreporting. watch. >> so many accomplishments. almost 24 to 36 hours there is another once since he has become problem. hundreds of them. the med

the word choice sounds good. but the system of choice that we live in requires my wife and i to drive around our city for hours to get our children to and from their schools. it requires us to attend countless open houses, and be wooed by promises of afterschool program, you'll enrollment, state-of-the-art technology, advanced reading and math. this is my children's lives, and their education. they do not get to do it again. even more than choice, they deserve a quality education and parents deserve a voice in that education. thank you. >> doctor, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, members of the -- community. thank you for letting me be here today. i am an associate professor at the harvard school of education. and the board of commonwealth of massachusetts. our state soul charter school authorizer. the 2017 assessment of progress. often called the nation's report card. the latest result showed a small uptick in eighth grade reading scores but were otherwise flat. continuing a period of stagnatio

life is about making choices. we face a million choices every day.ome are so easy, we do not have to think. turn right or left. coffee or tea? some choices are daunting, do i do my job or risk everything and when the tasks i have been given are immoral. in february, i faced that choice. it was my job at the montana department of labor to pass information that would be used to deport people. i could not do it and live with myself. i had seen the video of the border patrol dumping lifesaving water in the desert, with knowledge they were condemning people to death. arrest people who had been reporting for years, throw them in detention centers where they were reviewed. i had seen loving families torn apart for no good reason. [indiscernible] i could not sit by and let it happen. i could not be part of that machine, even if i would only be one small year. -- gear. i could not just follow orders.

of the right choice voting, mark leno has 54% of the vote. london breed has 49.5%. jane kim, who was in third place, is now eliminated in that right choice system. there are still ballots to be counted, so the numbers could change again. john cox caught up with mark leno late last night in the castro district. we asked him about the ranked- choice voting system in his strategy with his teaming up with jane kim. >> you and all voters have the opportunity to vote for up to three candidates. i am a voter, too. i voted number 24 -- number two in favor of jane kim. she voted in favor of me for number two. it is being transparent and accountable about how i voted. that is what it was and that is how it is. >> they teamed up during the campaign asking their supporters to vote for each other as second choice, hoping to gain an advantage in the voting system. >>> london breed gathered with her supporters. all night she was leading the race but she knew that could change after the ranked-choice system started. when ktvu talked to london breed late last

the choice is not between open borders and reuniting them, that is a choice. the president has to get around dealing with this. deflect is not going to trump separating children from their families. >> there is no way that this president can get his head around this particular situation, john. he has determined and shown us that it is impossible for him to do it. >> well, except i think what john is saying, and i think there is some evidence to this, is he wants fewer people coming from mexico or -- >> exactly. >> legally or otherwise. >> you're right. if these were white people instead of brown people, we would not be having this conversation. the simple fact of the matter, it's who is coming across the border. you don't see this heated rhetoric or debate about other countries that are white. that's the problem this administration has, the entire optics of the situation. again, it speaks to the ignorance and the complexities of this situation. and at the bottom line, john nailed it. this president wants to be king donald trump not president donald trump. and

movement and she was pro-choice.he had a right to have a voice. that that was an important decision by the supreme court and we should be able to hear from her. and so i was helping her to have a voice. of course ultimately, after a number of years, she became anti-choice. but we still maintain contact. she always indicated she had a very positive feeling towards me. and i understood she had her reasons, which i won't disclose for becoming anti-choice, but i remain pro-choice. because i myself had to have an abortion when it was before roe v. wade. when it was not legal. for a doctor to perform it. but it was legal for a woman to have it. i almost died from an illegal abortion. that's why i remain committed to legal, safe, affordable abortions for women. >> that's what they called a back alley abortion at that that i mean. do you worry about history repeating itself? >> yes, i do. that's what is getting lost in this discussion. while we talk about the academic issue of roe v wade, whether it will remain the law to ha

that is a false choice. this country has never done that. since 19 -- since the 1970s when the clean water and clean air act were adopted, we've s almost a 75% reduction in air pollution under the clean air act at the same time that we've grown our gdp by almost 270-plus percent. this country does it better than anybody in the world in advancing jobs, in advancing the economy, and protecting our environment. you know why? because you care. because of private property ownership, because of people saying we can do both. and this president, this administration and my leadership at the epa, we're not going to engage in a false choice to say that we can not be about jobs at the same time that we're advancing the environment. we're going to choose both. there's optimism, and i've been to almost 35 states across the country and i wll you, farmers and ranchers, oil and gas, people building subdivisions, private property owners and all of those who care about these issues, air, water, and land quality, they are excited and optimistic about what is ha

make choices that are the wrong choices. and what can happen if people make choices that are the right choices. what can happen when people stand up in the face of evil? >> it can because of the holocaust that the phrase crimes against humanity was created. the yearly conference works to ensure that we never have to create another one. shannon? >> shannon: lauren green, thank you. very important story. well, the iowa supreme court has struck down a law requiring a 72-hour waiting period for women seeking an abortion. the justices said the restriction was an unconstitutional burden on women. they also noted the waiting period could force delays, increase costs and, in some cases, prevent a woman from legally obtaining an abortion. up next, our whatever happened to segment on benghazi. first, beyond our borders tonight. vice president mic pence is telling the governments of three central american countries they must do more to stop migrants who enter the u.s. illegally. pence said, quote: the exodus must end. he spoke with the

that was never the choice. this was all politics.s a president who ran on this issue and wants to say i'm going to be tough on the border. that's all this is. it's playing macho to a base that has been inflamed against immigrants and infestation of immigrants. it's in violation of the law. there are much better ways to do it and you used 2,500 children as pawns. you put them all over the country. i'm saying as a governor they're in my state, it's my constitutional responsibility to take care of their health and welfare. why won't you tell me where they are. >> and on that issue, governor -- >> give me one good reason why you won't tell me where they are. >> governor, we need answers on that. we need to know where they are, we need to know how they're going to get back together with their family, we need to know what conditions they're in. we thank you for joining us today. let us know w

choice from the beginning. i said whether they use choice? i thought i'm so smart, what a great idea, they said we have been trying to get that for 35 years. got it now. they've been trying for 35

that is veterans choice. that is veterans choice. and you know, i went to people and i thought, i think i am a genius. i thought this was like come at the greatest idea. so i went to the groups and they said we have been trying to get this passed for 30 years. i didn't know that. but, what i did know is i knew how to get it passed. and we got it.

london is 49.5%, jean king was now eliminated in the ranked choice system. there are some provisional ballots, so the numbers could certainly change. we caught up with mark leno last night and asked him about the ranked choice voting system and his strategy of teaming up with jane. >> as i explained to you earlier, you and all voters had the opportunity to vote for one and/or two and/or three candidates. i am a voter, too. what i did was announce that i voted number 2 for jane. she voted that she made mention she voted for me. it's using the dynamic of ranked choice voting and being transparent and accountable about how i voted. that's what it was and that's how it is. >> leno and the supervisor teamed up during the campaign asking their supporters to vote for each other as second choice hoping to gain an advantage. >> very interesting. also last night, london breed gathered with her supporters. she was leaving the race all night, but she knew that could change once the ranked choice system started. when we talked to london late last night, she over. the vot

that is a false choice. since the 1970s when the clean water act was adopted we have seen nearly 75% reduction at the same time we have grown the gdp's. this country does it better than anybody in the world of advancing jobs and the economy because you care. because of people saying we can do both. we are not going to engage in us false choice. it's not about jobs. things are happening across this country. i've been told most 35 plus states. farmers and ranchers are building subdivisions, and those that care about the issues, their excited and optimistic. the something we should celebrate and not be apologetic about. it is an exciting time. as we do these things of putting america first a regulatory reform of restoring outcomes, it comes with challenges. there's a status quo that dominates. a mindset that things should not change. most prosperous place to be was government group. this administration is putting power back into the people. as he gather here today, we need to recognize what's an issue. it's a t

we had no choice in the matter, you feel me?o matter who it is or where they from, everybody has a choice in their life but we got pushed to the point where we ain't had no choice, so we had to get out here and do what we had to do. reporter: it's a pattern that's repeated again and again here. booney is one of the few who's there to help. he says there's just not enough money to tackle the huge problems he sees. but lack of funding isn't the only challenge. booney: it's worse here than syria and afghghanistan. every day there's shootings and killings in this community. and it's not an outside force anymore, it's inside. and it's because weapons a areo accessible now. in m my community, you canan gt a gun quicker than you can buy a bottle of juice. reporter: little more thanan eit miles away we come to the ultramodern center of chicago. this is the postcard side of the city that many of the children from west side have never been to. nothing hints at the problem areas that have existed for decades. the well-heeled citizens who l

this $5.2 billion will go viewing the choice program through 2019 and then what happens?gram ends in 2019 there will be va community care, one program instead of 7 reducing duplication, which will allow veterans to get care quicker which is more convenient to them. >> you know the issues that have been in place with the va healthcare system. does this do enough? what needs to happen next? >> it is a big win for veterans and donald trump and doesn't fix every problem. we need to get to the point veterans have fooled choice, a veteran can choose to go to work va community provider or healthcare system at their choice, not determined by bureaucrats or standards. they need to have their choice, this bill gets us close to that it is a step forward but doesn't go all the way. >> we appreciate breaking it down for us and thank you for your service as well. >> thank you for covering it. heather: the time is 18 minutes after the top of the hour. a new twist, dennis rodman and kim jong un. will the former basketball star have a key role in the high-stakes singapore summit? carly sh

so jane kim, that's my number one choice, but my second choice would be supervisor cohen.. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. jordan davis. i'd just like to say that my number one choice for board president would also be jane kim. she has been a very prolific legislator, even while swimming upstream. and she would be fitting if she spent her final six months as such. hillary ronen and sandra fewer, you would also be good choices. cohen would be a good choice as well as she's done a lot of work around cannabis equity and making sure mod squad doesn't go too far. however, how difficult it is for me to say this out of fear of retaliation, but i am extremely opposed to the nomination of h ahsha safai. his eventually lonely fight. i've twice been at the committee when supervisor ronen had legislation heard. and twice he asked a line of question that was designed to troll rather than clarify pieces of legislation. imagine being a sexual assault and harassment survivor in that room and having to hear all sorts of questioning designed to provoke and prolong an

we are focusing on your vote your choices on this day after election day. there is a lot happening in san francisco. the lead in the mayor's race likely changed while you were asleep. when we went to bed london breed was on top, but it is mark edging him out this much. it is coming down to good old right choice voting. i think that for major cities here have it. some people don't like it. >> i do not ever remember a race for san francisco mayor not waking up the next day and having some sort of controversy going on. >> it is good for us and it is good for you. we are going to focus statewide and start with the biggest race and another boat that was very closely watched, gavin newsom and john cox finished first and second respectively. if you are with us in the 6:00 hour we spoke directly with john cox and thought -- asked him why he thought he could win? >> most people cannot afford to live in the state. 46% of the bay area residents want to leave and there is a reason why. it is dysfunctional and mismanaged and mr. newsom bears that responsibility. >> is t

and the rank choice voting system is playing a starting role in this outcome. nbc bay area's terry mcsweeney is at city hall for us this evening with more on this cliffhanger. >> it's an election that's going to go down in the history book ps ranked choice voting at the core of this long delay. some say it's a crazy system. some really look it and say it can lead to what some call sincere voting. tens of thousands of ballots still to be processed. adding to the suspension, a 50% voter turnout. >> it will take us to next week. >> the rank choice voting kicked in to give mark leno is slim lead. >> this is not a new or unique system of voting. heads of state of other countries are elected through instant runoff voting. >> this is the one that we are dealing with as it relates to this race. so for now we're stuck with it. vote. >> if no one has a majority after the first count, votes for the nonfavorite candidates come into play. >> if you can explain it to someone inless than two hours, you have mastered an understanding of something i have never fully understood.

choices in the gloat growth and out of value and so on. so there's too much trading going on, which is the investor's enemy finally. the answer is to buy and hold the stock market very well exemplified by the 500, and hold it forever. and that's the winning strategy. any other strategy involves changing things. and over an investment lifetime you could probably have 40 changes, 50 changes. there's in way that can be a winning strategy. maria: you make a really good point. what about the idea that people want to cash out sometimes. i mean, what are your most important issues in terms of selling? you say hold on for a long time. but what is a long time? when can you actually get those returns and what do you look for as a run to sell, jack? >> that's a great question. i guess my fair time period is the same as warren buffet's time period, forever. you know fb fo, for your whole . there will be opportunities along the way. we've seen them in the last 25 years. to get out and get back in. maria: vanguard is changing. the retirement plan. not h
