the cpe lifts mitigation measures agreed to by the project sponsor. there are mitigations for archaeology, construction noise and scheduled responsibility for implementations but nothing monitor or protect the infrastructure in the area and histor historic and they didn't adhere to the what was recommended to the geotechnical engineers. sink holes have been appearing that were watering sites. they're adjacent to the project site and something we haven't seen before in the area. this sig signals shifting soil. it is critical this be studied. it will likely require dewatering of the project site during the site. will it result in shifting soil or erosion in sewers and affect the gas line sites 150 feet from the project? >> eastern neighborhood communities have historically received marginalized environmental planning. for years we've been raising alarm about insufficient study of gentrification, displacement, traffic patterns and pollution and other adverse conditions occur in our community and at each turn we have been pushed off by government agencies

please don't rubber stamp another cpe and tell us this fight and its permitting process and oversight will capture any mitigation. if the underlying environmental methods have been used so far for the project are so reliable, why is the nearby arkansas project still in an evacuated pit pumping out ground water and if the same process was used for 88 arkansas is the same process, why do they have to revise their structural engineering of the foundation and submit for new plan and new permits? officials love to tell how the city is striving toward equity even creating an office of racial equity but where the' equity in asking the working class community of color to provide their own data and prove our observations and conditions deserve study the process was created to allow for official thorough assessment not to en den ger citizens and disenfranchise them. thank you. >> we're not quite done. this is the ground water being pumped continually down the street at 863 mission. they had a huge problem where the water us welcome back dumped on the street. we have photos. i want you to get th

in described in the cpe it's only excavating about four feet below ground surface. the geotechnical investigation found ground water at 11 to 12 feet below the ground surface and recommended a designed level of eight feet below ground surface that means assuming ground water is found at eight feet below ground surface. the project is only excavating four feet below the ground surface. though the project may encounter ground water during construction for soil improvements it's unlikely the finished grade will extend into ground water the appellant claims geotechnical analysis does not provide ground water debt and the report considered the ground water level data in estimated historic ground water high elevation. the methodology considered variable rainfall conditions to recommend the appropriate ground water design level foundation system and measures to address any identified hazards. the cpe initial study con it and you the review of historic flooding issues in the area. the project is not located within but located near the sfpucs map 100 year flood zone. other t

i've detailed in staff and our materials the use of the cpe under ceqa in this case. the arguments regarding geo technical issues are not supported expert opinion and have responded about the the project geo technical consultant or relevant staff. argument is been considered and rejected by this board three times in the last three years including last october just to remind everyone. so the board's denial of this appeal would be consistent with past precedent with respect to eastern neighborhoods. in contrast, upholding the appeal would threaten housing units in the pipeline or have been recently improved reliant on the eastern neighborhood e.i.r. the analysis for evaluating the inadequacy is straight forward. first, project consistent with the area plan, the density of the area plan, i.r. do not undergo initial analysis beyond c.p.e. unless they're peculiar to a project and site. secondly, the process students to figure out if projects specific impacts were not identified in the eastern neighborhoods e.i.r. so the only project-specific impacts that the appellants rai

we're pricing in no inflation ever again core cpi has been over 2% for several months now cpe which is the fed preferred measure is not the cpi is and just hard to believe it will never see inflation ever again >> you think just one more in one more cut >> we think one more cut because we think it's in the interest for the administration to get moving on this and postpone those december 15th tariffs. if not, it means that the administration is willing to risk a recession to get this right with china that's a probability that's not zero that could happen. >> it's interesting what happened in this timing with the election coming up so soon i know what you're saying. >> these are really tricky issues what the administration has learned is that tariffs work it's only the threatening of increasing tariffs that brings china to the table they cannot get rid of them right away it could be dangerous for europe as well because that is the message they learned >> true. all right. thank you both appreciate it. >>> coming up, wework car krun mp, does the company need a bail out. roku is doing just

administration, they did nothing with regard to what china was doing particularly -- we could have been cpe back then. they refuse to. they wanted cooperation on north korea and climate change. this president, whatever he says the policy, that is what i looked, cut through the noise and look at the policy. >> the president has said publicly and there have been those who went out and said that is another impeachable offense, asking china to come help us or help him get information on the bidens. is what peter schweitzer told us, he has written this research, investigated biden family ties for a long time and here's what he said. >> there's always a question when you have political figures and money flowing to family members for deals they are not qualified for it out to be investigated. it is the oldest story in washington dc. >> that is business as usual, if you have a last name that can open doors around the world you get deals done. >> it exactly is. it is happening on the right and the left and the interesting thing about donald trump, he came from the outside and said i'm going to shake

even if we are successful in convincing our allies that huawei and cpe equipment present significant security risks, we've got to have an alternative. and if we look ahead to the technologies of the future, we need to step up our commitment to funding scientific research if we hope to compete in the decades ahead. it likely will mean a different kind of investment strategy. i work for some time that we are investing, investing in the best 20th century military that money can buy. with much of the conflict unfortunate, in the 21st century, i believe will happen in domains like cybercom space and misinformation-disinformation. in many of these areas like satellites, just like supersonics, china is rapidly becoming our peer. while we spend $750 billion on defense, china spends 250 roughly. with that i voted billion dollars delta, china is investing all these cutting edge technology. the united states needs to ensure that we are no longer over investing in legacy systems and platforms. our defense budgets need to better align with the fact that the battlefield might not be the south chin

comp stat was a revolutionary police to help to -- importantly this initiative at cpe and elsewhere is at the request of law enforcement. they want to know and they want to lead on that. i will be remissed if i got out of here without saying or leaving you the impression that it was a legislation that has not been introduced that moves us forward. i apologize for going over my time. i thank you for the invitation and i absolutely look forward to your questions. >> thank you very much. miss garcia. >> chairman nadler, ranking member collins and members of the committee. i am director of the policing campaign at the education fund and the leadership fund on civil hi human rights. thank you for the opportunity to testify today. thank you cherairman nadler for calling this. safety is a human right. in recent years tragic incidents of police violence have deepen distrust in law enforcement and made people feel less safe especially the community of color. it is time to rethink and create approaches to public safety that relies on criminalization and which disproportionately affect black and
