donnie has done a lot and will be significantly missed. so there are other staff things that i think director raphael will note later, but i wanted to highlight that because it's significant i think for the department, for the commission, for me, for the public. >> commissioner wald: thank you very much. there is still a possibility that donnie will make it here this evening at which point we will all have an opportunity to thank him in person. i have one more member of the public who wishes to spea purview of forestry and asked what the commission is doing. i would like to highlight gaps and short falls and make suggestions on those might be addressed. a quick overview of the city's plans, we know about the 0, 80, 100 roots plan and this plan is growing the urban forest, but doesn't have specifics and encouraging people to volunteer with friends of the urban forest. and then there is the san francisco forestry plan released in fall of 2014, it has three phases. phase one, prop e, 2 is trees and public spaces and 3 is private land. the pla

seeing none, and seeing that donnie is here, what do i say?> at the call of the chair would you like to return to item to president's welcome? >> yes. >> we are returning to president's welcome. this item is for discussion. >> we would appreciate it if donnie would come up to the front of the room. he can bring his companion. david got to announce that you are leaving earlier this evening. he had to leave. you should know that he did comment favorably on your tenure. it is an in joke, i guess. thank you for coming by this evening so we could thank you very much for your service. i have to say that in my 15 years on the commission, i have worked with very few peopl peopo are as dynamic and talented as you are, donnie. we will miss you terribly. i know the department like to brag about the fact that half the staff work on outreach, but you and i know this wasn't always the case. for the past decade you changed the way the department does business, really. you started by working with the environment now program to ensure the environmental movemen

>> i think donny is right. general john kelly surely is capable of identifying failure when he sees it. as chief of staff to the white house, chief of staff to the president, he sees the failure right in front of him. to go back to the earlier story, though, the theme being ready, shoot, aim, what happens when john kelly is gone? whatever you think of his ideology and the white house should have never exposed john kelly's ideology to the american people. that's not the role of the chief of staff. he's one of the few adults in the room. if donald trump lets him go, who is next, nicolle? because i'm not sure if we look at this white house we can see who brings a stabilizing force in that oval office after john kelly. >> well, amy, isn't t-- a.b., h hicks left. he hasn't replaced the communications director. do you think he'll fill the job? >> there have been some names. mick mulvaney. it's chemistry, not qualifications. as steve bannon was kicking around, many people who he's on the phone with late at night, his

donny deutsch is with us. and yamish almador and mike pompeo who met with kim jong un over easter has been confirmed as secretary of state. how will his tenure differ from rex tillerson? plus, president trump takes it up to 11 on fox news, and prosecutors immediately seize on what he said. why his free-wheeling interview may have just undercut his personal lawyer, michael cohen in a major way. but we begin with breaking news, that the leaders of north and south korea are taking historic steps toward peace. after 65 years of division, threats and violence, a document signed by both sides reads in part quote, the two leaders solemnly declare before the 80 million korean people, and the whole world, that there will be no more war on the korean peninsula. and thus, a new era of peace has begun. joe? >> richard haas, james fellows said last night he wasn't prone to overstatement. he said this was one of the most shocking diplomatic developments he's seen in his lifetime. you of course have nixon with mao in china.

donnie's trying to make a better life for his family, and he called the reforms a huge deal. and when he said huge deal, it was all in caps, i might add. or our democratic colleagues are so quick to dismiss or ignore normal hardworking people like donnie with the same old tired talking points and ideology because doing so is easier than actually doing the hard work of coming together on a biparsan basis and passing legislation. when they do this, this like to talk about corporations. according to their rationale that 505 companies that have announced pay raisessers bonuses, 401(k) match increases, cuts to utility rates and other benefits, that those appears really helping the -- that those aren't really helping the average worker. they're just somehow lining their own pockets. they regime to ignore that our -- they seem to ignore that our old tax code ranked at the highest in the world. instead, they say that the stock buybacks, for example, which some companies have opted for in part reward corporate executives and well-off shareholders rather than workers. the senator from

treated any differently from anybody else so early on the idea of let's just put that idea to sunny donny and sally on that idea of dignity and respect at nine hundred fifty three one hundred fifty five one hundred fifty seven consecutive british home secretary has commissioned big reports and they all kind of said the same thing which was this they said we cannot tell whether ethnic minorities in the u.k. are not integrating because they choose not to or because they're not being allowed to so if if compassion within a migration policy is a prerequisite how do you codify that how do you make sure it actually happens. i think compassion humanity and respect have to be there in any policy that doesn't mean that you can't make decisions about a government as a government about who should or shouldn't be allowed to enter the country the problem we have now is that the system starts by assuming that everyone is out to abuse the system and there's be no flexibility no regard for individual circumstances there's been no humanity in it and this is being raised on numerous occasions and most rece

when you scratch that scab, there's a lot of puss coming out of it. >> thank you, donny. >> donny, iot and maybe it's because nobody comes up to you and talks to you in public spaces. >> never. >> people tell willie, mika and i they love watching the show and sit there and watch it with their family while they're eating breakfast before the kids go to school. if you can check the language there, that would be great. >> lot of people not eating. >> it is interesting i heard people say time and again that michael is very loyal to donald trump, but you know michael. he has children. he has a wife. he has a family. the man has to be awfully isolated by now. and i just can't imagine that he's willing to sacrifice the well being of his children for the well being of trump's children. >> that's -- those words i used exactly. i also -- i think michael has a chance to be on the right side of history, frankly. michael if you go on the premise i think in every instance they raided a lawyer's -- the fbi raided lawyers, they've ended up in jail. michael can have one of two legacies. michael can h

nine years later her husband donnie was about to stand trial for murder. >> a case that sounds like a a trace. >> i knew something was very, very wrong. >> hello. >> reporter: kelly was marcia's hairdresser. >> what time. >> reporter: when marcia missed an appointment in 2009 kelly started calling around and eventually called police. one of the strangest things about this case is that for months, nobody had reported marcia brantley missing. not her family, friends, or even her husband. >> we have a guy who has told numerous lies about where his wife went. >> reporter: brantley county detective zach pike says donnie claimed marcia left him, but it was striking how much she left behind, even her beloved dogs. in this 2013 civil deposition, donnie didn't want to talk much about his feelings for marcia. >> when did she stop being the love of your life? >> i plead the fifth. >> charging you with first-degree murder. >> reporter: donnie brantley was first arrested in 2013. prosecutors dropped the charges after deciding they didn't yet have enough for a winning case. >> i don't ever deal in

( laughter ) all this fun aside. macron didn't fly across the atlantic to hang out. he came to washington on a very specific mission to stop trump from boing doing something dumb. >> macron will spend two days with mr. trump on what some called operation save the iran deal. >> there is no starting over once the iran deal is scrapped, it becomes virtually impossible to get iran back to the table and get all the other parties back to the table. >> trevor: you see, that would be bad news. this deal is the only reason that iran is not advancing its nuclear program. if america backs out, it will even further destabilize the middle east. so this is really sticky for macron because he has to try to save the iran deal wh
