commission vice president covington? >> commissioner covington: okay. i think that just following the timeline that you have given, and knowing the great responsibility that this commission has, that it would be prudent to have the election on the first week -- excuse me, the first meeting. >> president nakajo: okay. >> commissioner covington: that way, we're not hampered by a lack of a quorum. >> president nakajo: okay. so vice president covington, you are suggesting we have election on january the 8, the first meeting of the commission. >> commissioner covington: yes. >> president nakajo: okay. commissioner hardeman? >> commissioner hardeman: yes. i agree with you, president nakajo. if i'm not reappointed, it doesn't make sense to vote on who the next commissioner is going to be. if there's a new commissioner, they should vote on who the new president and vice president should be. that's just my opinion. >> president nakajo: okay. so commissioner hardeman, just so i'm clear, you're suggesting the second meeting in january. is that what you're saying?

commissioner covington? >> commissioner covington: thank you very much, chief. your report is very organized. i do appreciate the organization of the report. it's very good to see this. i just had some questions regarding the ageing fleet of the department. i guess that wrote be on page 33, the page that's not numbered. >> mm-hmm. yep. >> commissioner covington: so i see that this is all broken-down into apparatus that is one to five years old, five to 15 years old, 15 to 25 years, and more than 25 years. how do you prioritize what needs to be replaced? because a long time we had a fleet plan, and then, we didn't have a fleet plan, and we need funding for that, but these numbers are still high. >> it's still high. it's going to take us a while to get from the hole we were a few years ago. a plan was drafted last year, and we're following the plan. we're still behind. it's going to take some funding from city hall and supervisors to help us get to where we are, so we're going to advocate for that in the next budget cycle. we're drafting a new plan to make sure ou

and ed vaultman and covington would be sort of the next once. the vaultman cartoons are almost all from the reagan era. i think that was when richard and i were brought in, when people were failing to recognize jean kirkpatrick and people like that. i have had the bartenders when i would come in to have a drink, some of the bartenders and the new help would say tell us who that is? they are consistently asked about these people. that is bob dole, don't you remember had im? no. this is a mish mash of a mish mash of other work. these are color vault ones. these are water color images. these are obviously done in the 1970's. richard thompson's style is just as a cartoonist, and it is just such a beautiful combination of loose line. he was influenced a lot by some of the great english cartoonist, but he took it to his own place. i aspire to this kind of looseness, but i am still working on it. this one i did for politico. this is a caricature of bernie sanders. you can see the difference. i do a cross hash with rapitograph and water colors. >> he us

covington's stuff is like that. this boris yeltsin is a wonderful, extremely exaggerated pushing of the forms and it's just wonderful. here's senator bird and jerry brown. sometimes i'll talk to art students and do work shops with caricature. it's amazing how you don't always have to be so rendered and detailed. a presidential caricature in particular but it's true of political figures and george bush and barack obama, i could draw six lines and people will go, oh, that's george bush or there's barack obama and once you've done the outline of the face and say that and people can tell what you're drawing. it's a mystical thing. our facial recognition software in our brains is very acute and something caricaturists can use to their advantage. you can be nonpartisan when doing the things for the coasters. what i pay is to have a political opinion and express it strongly and same with ann and same with cal and we have to dial that back which i understand is not just that we don't want to unnecessarily royal people when

and these are more cartoons from the art wood collection and these were done from ron covington in the '80s, and covington has a distinctive style, and he is related to the david lavine school of caricature, but he took it his own direction, and the very light crosshatching in here with a lot of gray scale, and they are beautifully done. the, ka ch shcaricatures are a thing, because you can exaggerate the features, and then limit them. some are very good of going to tej of taking it away from something that you would recognize as the individual. covington's stuff is like that, the boris yeltsin is a wonderful extremely exaggerated pushing it into forms there, and there is senator byrd from west virginia. jerry brown. it is always fascinating when you also work with people, and i will work with art students and do workshops on the caricature, and it is amazing that you don't have to always be so rendered in the detail, and the presidential caricature is true of all political figures and can become a simpleiconic thing. george bush and barack obama, and six lines people would say, that i

i want to begin with the covington catholic story that took the country by storm leaving the media to rush to judgment and be wrong on pretty much every level. >> elder was identified as nathan phillips, the member of the omaha nation and the vietnam vet. he and others were harassed and taunted by students from covington catholic. >> students mocking him and being rude. >> students acted inappropriately. >> there was a point that the kids used a tomahawk chop. >> your thoughts and reactions now? >> getting it wrong, not even caring, going after a child. and no remorse whatsoever. of course, when the full video came out about that incident, boy did they -- any normal person with a soul would have felt bad. not the main stream media. the covington student sat down with savannah guthrie and she interrogated him and tried to make him a bad guy after he was exonerated. >> i want to rapid fire here with you. i want to go next to robert mueller. did you know he was going to be the man to take down donald trump? that's what the media thought. and they said it for years. >> donald trump, for t

if you go back and look at the , say the covington kids, or you go back and look at some of the otherhings that have led to violence, the media portrays a half-truth, a story, for example rodney king. everyone hates the idea of a cop beating somebody, but they did not show the guy on the ground attacking the police. i come from a rough neighborhood in chicago. if you attack a police officer, you are going to get beat down. i am sorry, but that happens. but what they did was, they only portrayed a small segment of it, they fanned the flames, and 67 people died because of it. so the media is feeding into this, and i don't know for what gain. maybe they are trying to keep us looking at something other than the wars or the confiscation of wealth by the top 1/10 of 1%, but look at the media. jesse: based on his comments, what you tell people about their news consumption? and how will that help solve this problem? jackie: i think he raised a great point. first of all, what has happened is, in a rush to break news and get on the air fast, there is often a lack of making sure it is accurate.

you look at the tea party, if you look at 2016, a look at coming to covington and kavanaugh, they are the masters of overkill and it always blows up in their face even if you look at the dossier, it is a die packed. rob the bank, put it into the bag of money and then get home and opened it up and it explodes. the dossier like almost everything in the democratic political light is a die packed. they think they've got all the money. they get home and it blows up in their face but i'm a nice person, i want to give them advice. i think they should change the narrative and let go of the outrage feed. i think we have been greta to death before she was born. we are guilty of it. we are both guilty of outrage speak but i think realizing the end of it when people are noticing that the louder the noise is in the media, the quieter reality is. you can't get much better than this economy, we know that. seems like our troops are coming home, people are able to search for things because they are not worried about other things. life is pretty good but the better life gets, the louder and screechy or
