cohen says she is not against complexes like this. she just wants to make sure the community feels welcome there. she says the women pictured are not representative of bayview and calling bayview the next mission only made things worse. >> the mission is ground zero for displacement and all of that angst. it's real and they successfully tapped into that and they played on it for their own capital gain and that's what was so disgusting about it. >> reporter: the supervisor says this ad is offensive not just for people living in bayview but for people in the mission, as well. so how do people in the mission feel about it? it depends who you ask. does it offend you at all? >> that there's a gym?

if i remember correctly, the first time supervisor cohen met his is a candidate for supervisor. seven years ago? leading a group of my neighbors out to a neighborhood nearby street park at night. with a flashlight in hand, and she had a pair of high-heeled shoes on. she got my vote for her courage to make connection with neighbors in the evening next time i saw her at the same street park ribbon-cutting in dogpatch i was with mader lee about four years ago. open spaces important to our city in each neighborhood. i cherish the time spent in a park near a tree with family, with friends. because i live in an area under constant change with a new new parks provide way to meet neighbors of all backgrounds. everyone comes out to a park.parks provide an easy way for us to learn about each other, engage and become more familiar with each other. trust each other and learn to stay say, hello, neighbor. as noted by sanjay gupta, dr. sanjay gupta on cnn the other day saying hello to neighbors can improve your own personal health. and well-being. parks are key to neighbored livability and pe

cohen, either one of you.hen you talk about the 8% tax that hits small businesses and investment income, is this your official first attempt, i guess, with this to start pulling back on obamacare? also, what do you say to your fellow republicans who say this tax reform package is more about corporations versus cutting the deficit? >> look, this tax reform package is about growing the economy, creating jobs. it's about the economy. as i started, president trump comes in and talks to the two of us about economic growth, economic prosperity and jobs and what are we doing to stimulate economic growth? that's how we're looking at this plan. the 3.8% tax on capital gains, dividends and interest, the president looks at that very seriously as being a tax on capital being spent to stimulate economic growth, people putting investment capital to work and people being taxed on their personal businesses. so we're trying to get rid of that to be more stimulative, to put a cap back on the economy for growing jobs. >> is it a

stephen cohen, let's begin with you. explain what you understand took place in moscow yesterday and this meeting between the foreign rexster lavrov and tillerson, the secretary of state, joined by the president putin. leadership knows mr. tillerson very, very well. for six or seven years, they dealt directly with him, including putin, i'm one of the largest energy deals russia had ever made with the western energy giant. in this case, exxonmobil. they would not have made that for many billions of dollars if they did not think -- excuse me -- that mr. tillerson was a deeply serious, confident, and honorable man. we can have our own views about the power of global oil companies in world affairs, but this is a bilateral relationship. therefore, when tillerson came to moscow yesterday in his new capacity, they knew they were talking with a man of immense experience because exxonmobil has its own state department and intelligence services. and a man that they could trust to be candid with them. and they had questions for mr.

without any further ado, director gary cohen. mr. cohen: thank you, sean. good afternoon to everyone. thank you for being here. this is quite an historic day for us and one that we've been looking forward to for a long time and one we're very excited about. we have a once in a generation opportunity to do something really big. president trump has made tax reform a priority and we have a republican congress that wants to get it done. this is something that, quite honestly, i hope the democrats would support too, because it's ood for the american people. the president is going to seize this opportunity of tax reform and one of the biggest tax cuts in the american history. we have been working on this for a long time. we've had great meetings, we had a great meeting last night with the leadership of the house and the senate. we've agreed on many of the important principles of tax reform. we look forward to working together with the house and the senate very closely in the weeks ahead. the president has focused on three things since his campaign. job creation,

i also liked gary cohen, i would never, ever bet against the president. i would like to add a narrative. >> that's a message directly from the president. >> on the one hand, it simplifies the tax code, right? there is no american of any party that doesn't think the tax code is ridiculously complicated. on the other hand, what peter said was really interesting. long-term growth in the united states is low. the united states is a mature economy. you can't just inject little things and hope you'll go from roughly 3% to 4, 5, or 6% as you remember donald trump saying during the campaign. not going to happen. i have a better chance of trying to look like stephanie rule than we have of getting to 3, 4 or 5% growth. and chances of looking like you, nil. >> this is a shared economy that people want to own less, they want to experience more. so you're betting on gdp growth that just doesn't exist. >> i want to get to the politics with you in a moment, but first with you two. he wants to eliminate all deductions except for the mortgage deduction and the charitable

roni cohen-sandler, hi. - it's great to be here. - why do we procrastinate? - you know, it's human nature to procrastinate when we're tired or we're distracted, or we wanna avoid something that's annoying, or boring, or frustrating, say, like homework. then we wanna take a nap, or do anything else, maybe go online, so we can stop thinking about what we have to do. - of course there's a real downside here because by the time you finally get around to doing whatever it is you've been avoiding, you have even less time to complete the work. - that's very true, and not only that, but all that pressure that you were putting off comes back with a vengeance, and so then when you have less time and you're anxious, it's even harder to concentrate. plus, while you were avoiding everything you have to do, those assignments were hanging over your head, so you really weren't getting to relax and enjoy yourself, that's why it's probably better to get it over with and then you can do what you wanna do and enjoy it. - is procrastinating in our genes? something we have no cont

reports are that mcmaster wanted to get rid of cohen watt kin so cohen watt kin took his case around mcmaster and to steve bannon. at that time bannon, the white house chief strategist, was also serving on the national security council. bannon had saved 30-year-old cohen watt kin's job by going straight to president trump for him. the president overruled general mcmaster and cohen watt kin stayed on board. let's remember this whole entire thing started back on march 4th with that early saturday morning tweet by president trump accusing president obama of wiretapping him. and all of this is leading to the perception by many that the national security council may be becoming too politicized causing yesterday's ouster of steve bannon from the national security council. now, the white house denies this. they say he was no longer needed on the national security council and that bannon was only there to watch general flynn and flynn, of course, is now long gone. yes, this is what the fbi and intelligence communities are looking at and it suggests that a lot of news from the last 24 hours i

when you try to understand, what i am trying to understand as a reporter, why is elise ening for mo cohen, palin and cashner, why is he more hawkish on foreign policy, always come back to his habits. he is watching the polls as if they are ratings, listen to the television chattering in washington and reacting to it and form lating new strategies. >> rose: we continue with a conversation with chris hill, former ambassador to south korea, about north korea. and what are the options for the united states. >> i'm not sure there is really a scope for negotiation at this point, with the north koreans. they agreed to give up their nuclear weapons and then they abandoned what they agreed to. and now they'd like to talk to us, of course, but as one nuclear power to another. i'm not sure that is really going to lead us anywhere. i think we need to have a serious, closer understanding with the chinese. >> rose: and we conclude this evening with a conversation about the youth anxiety center at new york press we terrian hospital. we talk to doctors anne-marie albano, francis lee and john walkup. >> i
