is that correct? mr. sessions: that is absolutely correct. you don't think probable cause and a warrant requirement is required to go to that information that is -- first of all, the seizure is -- by government without government without a warrant. so it is seized already. you also don't. believe a warrant should be record by any court to go to that information? i agree with the courts, not you, congressman. i am reclaiming my time. you agree with the courts, not me. but let me tell you something. it is the responsibility of the congress to set the privacy standard for america. i think the constitutional supports my opinion. before government can go in and sees something i do searches on an american citizen that is incidental to searches on the target, a war it must be gotten. we know we cannot -- a warrant must be obtained. we cannot trust the nsa. is that data ever destroyed, or is it kept forever? mr. sessions: i believe it has a limited time span, i think it is five years. your time has expired. before i begin, i think i have a solution t

that's correct they were going to get fully reimbursed for every single legal penny they spent as well as any damages found against him and probably one of the biggest bailouts of government contractor that's been documented so far. indemnification is is absolutely criminal if we have over one hundred thousand soldiers ill it just shows it's a good example of how much our government really cares about or soldiers are just pawns. they're angry they're frustrated they feel as though they gave. everything they have to the us government. they believe doubtless sam had their back when he sent them over to iraq and afghan. stan to fight the war they believe when they came back they didn't take care of. the the military the v.a. are supposed to take care of their veterans. and they're supposed to provide good health care and a good transition out of the military and the military and the v.a. has failed miserably on doing this and not only on the firm put issues but you know a lot of mental health issues and everything else there are.

, that's correct, sir. >> in total that's correct also, right? >> that's correct, sir. >> and i also see that in every single income cohort the average tax rate goes down. is that correct? >> that's correct also, sir. >> there have been some changes. is it your impression that the result of those changes will be to further reduce some of the average tax rates and to further reduce some of the tax obligations for low and middle income cohorts? >> in years before the sunset, sir, because the sunset turns off, so it would return basically to present law in the very last year. but as noted when the senator asked earlier the expansion of the child tax credit increased the value, and also actually made a further modification that no taxpayer with a taxable income in excess of half million dollars could claim child tax credit. so that means all that increase in value accrues to taxpayers with dependent children less than $500,000 and the tax rate bracket affects have effect for everyone in the new 22% bracket and above. >> right. so mr. chairman, i'm ru

is that correct? >> senator wyden, i assume you are referring to the revenue table jct 5717. >> right. >> and the total of the -- let's see. the total of the individual titles on -- on page 3. um -- so -- are you looking at the last year or the line total? >> yeah, the total. and the way we see it, the expiration of tax cuts for the middle class pays for the permanent rate reductions for the multi-national corporations and that the individual tax title raises money overall while the corporate title loses. is that -- >> you're looking at the last year, '27. yes. $75 billion. >> so we've established that, colleagues, that not only do we know now what the majority leader's agenda is, but it is confirmed by joint taxes analysis. i think this sounds worse than the bush tax cuts because i think families and small businesses could end up worse. in fact, because of the inflation adjustment, which is less, they could end up falling further behind. so i think the remaining question i have for this round, mr. ba

is that correct? >> yes, sir. that's what the column shows. >> do you know how many americans in those categories are included? >> yes, i do have our projections of that. in 2023, we project there will be approximately 22 million tax filing units in our income category of $20,000 to $30,000. approximately 18 million tax filing units between $30,000 and $40,000. just under 14 million tax filing units, $40,000 to $50,000. >> okay, so just looking at $20,000 through $40,000, how many is it altogether? just those two figures? >> let's see. so 22 plus 16. 38 million. >> 38 million. beginning in 2023, would be paying higher taxes. >> on average, sir. >> on average. and is it possible that those between $50,000 and $100,000 would be paying more taxes depending on their deductions? >> are you looking at the table? >> yes. >> between $50,000 and -- >> $100,000. >> again, on average, 2023, our analysis shows tax reductions on average between $40,000 and $200,000. >> individually, the change in taxes to those pe

seven corrections officers were stabbed. others and a counselor were held hostage for 15 hours. >> it was a pretty massive riot that they had at that time and chris trotter was one of the main players in that. and since then, trotter has done his share to maintain his image of that. >> trotter has maintained that he was defending another inmate from abusive staff. >> some of them were stabbed but some of them were beat up. some of them went to the court and overexaggerated their wounds. >> the judge in trotter's case saw nothing to laugh about. >> i was found guilty of one count of attempted murder, one battery, four counts of criminal defilement and one count of rioting. and i was sentenced to 142 years. and was like, wow. most violence is spontaneous. that's what that was. it was spontaneous. one incident led to something else led to something else led to something else but it is never the solution. >> trotter has now been in prison for 26 years 73 due to his role in the riot and other disciplinary problems, he has spent 1

>> that's correct. >> does your client own the building or a tenant with the subtenant? >> the llc owns the building. so yes. this is the only space rented to particular tenant. >> when you say the tenant is not expected to stay past next year's lease, that's based on your client's lack of interest having them beyond the lease or was there any indication from the renter that they have no interest in staying beyond that time? >> that's not a conversation we've had with the tenant, who i understand is here at the hearing, but from the owner's perspective it comes from the fact that there's a breach of lease, lack of confidence and trust in the tenant not doing the right thing. >> okay. >> any other questions commissioners? for the apelant. thank you, you can take a seat. >> public comment? >> good morning commissioners, i'm jeremy paul with a particular interest in art uses and preserving art spaces in san francisco. i've been doing this nearly 30 years. and i have been involved with this matter since bef

is that correct?>> we provide that information at the request of members to help them analyze the policy proposals and we're at work on that. >> i note that for the record that the full analysis is not done yet. late yesterday after we had a limited debate here about this new provision on the individual mandate, i describe what is happening here in total in terms of the bill, what this bill means to real people as a thief in the night. why do i say that? here's why i say it. we have had an experiment the entire year about two ways and only two to debate and make progress on fixing our health care system. this is what's happened this year. we've started the year and spent months well into the summer and even beyond the summer having a fight about repeal of the affordable care act. one side wanted to decimate medicaid in my judgment and we fought like hell against that. it ended up being that there was a stalemate. that was one way to do it, have a big fight about the aca and that fight continues. the s

shiny, correct?r: finally, the defense called, of all people, state trooper jamie magarian. in the first two trials the lead investigator had been a heavyweight witness for the prosecution. not this time. he was vital to the defense theory of a keystone cops investigation. >> is he going to say, "investigator, you ranha you didn't secure the scene." >> certainly. >> reporter: "there were tests you didn't run. there were things to be known. you're relying on this junk science of how paint dries." >> yeah, that's his job. he just needs one nugget of doubt. >> reporter: in pursuit of that nugget, the defense attorney grilled the investigator about the two people of interest. first, mark oleksak. remember, he'd changed his alibi. but what motive could he have for murder? well maybe this -- ann, the drama queen, had angered him when she left her wife for her old girlfriend. >> he described that he had a big fallout with ann. is that correct? >> yes. >> and the fallout was when he became aware that ann was

olson your audience is that correct isn't that correct? consumers. >> yes shouldn't outline consumers had no one at dinner out with the data that i want to share with you. >> this is part of the way the economy works. as when a consumer goes. >> the consumer doesn't have a choice, so doesn't have a choice on the data as your collecting. i know i know it and quite frankly, the credit report sacred theology do not tell me all the data you're collecting on me. >> it's is was attorney general for eight years in nevada, identity theft and nevada the countries through the roof. still is what is egregious about what lives now for the rest of life, all the people i hear from the 1.3 million people whose identities are stolen they will have to clear the record for the rest of their life. people can create crimes in their name. i've seen it. they're spending their lives clearing their record and their good name. so just that's why this is so egregious and you have an application to not only look at the data you're collecting there is but make sure y

benefit from the wealth of that correction. the last thing i'll state, i have been hearing that this board is treating this different. i was not around when 270 tobacco permits were issued in the district that i represent. 260 tobacco permits just in district 6. we are now limiting to 45 per district. and as permits expire or businesses go out of business, they will not be reissued again in the district. this board has acted to regulate a lot of permits. many of us work a lot, with community leaders in our neighborhood and the bay view and the tenderloin, where we have a plethora of liquor stores, but no grocery stores. thanks to neighborhood leaders, they've been working hard to convert liquor stores into stores that sell produce and fresh food. as well as other needs that our community needs. the comments are general that i'm making today. i look forward to the continued debate on this regulatory framework, but finally, i think it's important that we ask the cannabis industry also to answer our call and to bring in owners int

>> that is correct, senator. >> and the new version is 2,000, correct? >> that is correct. >> which sounds good. how much of that is refundable? >> under chairman's modified mark, $1,000 remains refundable and that's indexed. >> so there's an increase, but if you're a working family, the mom that was just talked about, you won't benefit from that increase. but you know who benefits from that increase? they raise the cap on the income of the households that can benefit from the child tax credit five times higher, five times higher. $500,000. so the working mom who now, under this analysis, earning less than $30,000, may see a tax increase, may have more difficulty getting health insurance, but she's not going to benefit from this child tax credit any more than she does now. maybe a tiny bit because of the indexing. but the folks that will benefit is something making a half a million dollars. so every piece of this bill, unfortunately, in the fine print goes back to the same thing. it is skewed to the wealthy and the well-connected and it's trick. down eco

if i'm correct on that. >> that's correct. because of behaviors in the marketplace. >> so the behaviors in the marketplace. i'm going to concentrate on two that total about $360 billion of savings. one is the reduced -- the reduced subsidies under the affordable care act. >> of two -- there are two different specific ones. one is the exchange subsidy credit that's available on the purchase of policies through the exchange. and the other is the cost-sharing subsidies that are payments to insurance companies. >> and so for those subsidies -- >> actuarial standards. >> there are income limits as to who can qualify for that type of relief. >> that's correct. >> we're talking about losing $185 billion of subsidies that go to i'll call it middle income families. actually, maybe middle income, lower middle income families, depending on their income levels. >> bottom half, sir. >> bottom half. so they lose $185 billion of subsidies that would otherwise be available for their health care. because they chose, under the mandate, their be

i figured out i was more temperamentally suited for corrections work than the ministry.. it's not just a job. it never has been just a job for me. it's not natural to keep human beings in cables, and it's not natural to be the human being that's keeping somebody else in a cage. and there's something about that unnatural environment that causes the people who are the keepers of the cage to take some psychological steps to make that easier on them to the point to where you don't see them as humans at all. i tried to consciously fight against that tendency. hopefully i modelled that for some of the people. it is possible to spend your career in corrections and not treat inmates like dirt and not treat these people like trash, but to have compassion and sympathy and understanding for what the families go through. >> and families usually go through a lot. >> hi, we're here to see victoria groth. >> all right, can i check your i.d., please? >> sure. my name is carol groth, i'm here with my daughter, jessica, we're here to see her sister, my other daughter victoria, who's been
