duffy. >> evening, commissioners. just on the appellant's rehearing request, i didn't hear anything new either. i would sympathize with him on his property line issue, maybe at the rear of the property, but certainly right next to his property where the fence is, it is completely nailed. the fence is attached to the permit holder's property clearly maybe as it goes up the yard, it's towards the rear, there is a possibility goes over the property line, but i don't think so. we are going to see a special conditions permit with the property lines defined on them and i will have a discussion with the permit holder about how those lines were defined. if it was discovered that the fence is over the property line, d.b.i. could follow up with that and -- quite easily by requiring that all work be removed to his side of the property. i think the property line could be something that could be resolved. in the past i have also seen examples where if both property owners could split the cost of the survey, it is only one side of

duffy. >> i think if mr.a straight answer to this question, will he accept a limitation of $50,000 on television advertising then we can come to some clearer understanding of what is involved. >> if we can turn that direction so the banging does not come through on the mic. >> the railroad system does not work. the answer to that problem is not more money in a failing system. the answer is changing the system in a fundamental way so it will work in the future. it is a very good time to be speaking to unions because they are in trouble. the unemployment, the pressures, the collective bargaining process is breaking down. i was in bristol last night. where a group of printers are dealing with a shop. they discovered suddenly when they went out on strike this year, they are no longer dealing with a local printing shop. they are dealing with a conglomerate. with american can. they might decide to write it off as a loss this year. it is a very different collective bargaining situation. a much tougher situation. >>

duffy, anything further? >> commissioners, joe duffy, d.b.i.just to add, when you fill in the wlien 15 for ownershi-- lir permit process, she put herself in, suna tamez, 530 kansas street. sometimes we do get questions on these things, and it's dealt with by permit bureau. we sometimes have to call the city attorney's office on these types of things. it's just very confusing, but when you issue over 60,000 permits a year, and people are coming to you on the lines, the ownership proving you're an owner, and then are you allowed to get a permit for this part of the building, i don't think they get into that much depth. i would say that these appellants maybe still have an option, to go to the department and prove that the permit was improp improperly issued. they can always -- signed off and improperly issued. there is sections in the san francisco building code where we could revoke a permit if we find that it was improperly issued. but as far as i know that -- on the fifth floor of d.b.i. when you're getting a permit, there is a pretty good che

inspector duffy said it. and while this permit may be properly issued, i have serious concerns about how this will be resolved in a way that would give the city any confidence it will be resolved in a matter to meet the building code and and in the continuance time that the parties get together to understand the permit history of the property, understand what is going on if the appellant does want to have an engineer of his own at his own expense to inspect and make their own reports and findings regarding his property and that of the permit holders be made available and returned at such time as the items are completed. >> i also would support that. having as much as i don't like kicking the can and creating more work for the board, i think this project is abuse of the system. and how it works. and if i was a neighbor, i would be truly upset to see my home settle like that in a way and not be addressed. and to be honest, this board has wide and broadening powers as i have been told. the permits potentially ju

duffy? two weeks? we will administratively dismiss it. why don't we just say the 16th >> it doesn't matter. we are expecting never to see it again. >> do we have a motion? >> motion. >> we have a motion to continue this matter to october 16th so the parties can work on cancelling the permit and getting a new one issued with the correct information. [roll call] that motion carries 3-0. we are now moving on to item number six. this is appeal number 19-086. appealing the issuance on 840 42 nd avenue. and alteration permit. this is a revision to permit application. revised detail at both property line walls. this is -- we will hear from the appellants first. >> good evening. thank you for being here. i appreciate the invitation to be here. first of all, we are for disabled veterans, 100%. i did a couple tours in the middle east and we have lots of medical conditions. but construction from the beginning drove us crazy because of our medical conditions, but we put up with that. it was by november of thanksgiving, back in 2018, we started notici

listen to what congressman sean duffy said right here on "new day" moments ago. >> mr. vindman, he's an adviser to the president. he is a former ukrainian. he wants to make sure taxpayer money goes in military aid -- >> i'm sorry. why does it matter where he was born? >> hear me saying y does it matter where he was born? he moved to the united states when he was 3 years old with his family. he's been in the military for 20 years. awarded the purple heart. active duty member. sean duffy didn't know whether colonel vindman put america first. >> you are starting to hear it more than just from sean duffy. >> joining us, joe lockhart, abby phillip and jeffrey toobin, cnn chief legal analyst. and i do want to start with colonel vindman, what he is going to say today. and let me just read you part of what he will testify to. this is part of his opening statement. i was so concerned by the call, i did not think it was proper to demand a foreign invest investigate a u.s. citizen and i was worried about the implications for the u.s. government's support of ukraine. >> he was so o

congressman duffy hang on one second. to go back to the beginning here because it's been nagging at me the whole time here, which is that when i asked you about colonel vindman the very first thing you said was he was ukrainian. so yes or no, do you trust ambassador bill taylor more because he was born in the united states? where does the location of his birth matter? mark meadows was born in france, is he pro-french by definition? that's a pretty stunning comment you made just there, and it's remarkable and notable given that laura ingraham last night in her apparent talking points brought it up as well. >> so i read his statement, john, and i'm sure you did as well, and it seems very clear that he is incredibly concerned about ukrainian defense. i don't know that he's concerned about american policy, but his main mission was to make sure that the ukraine got those weapons. i understand that. we all have an affinity to our homeland where we came from. like me, i'm sure that vindman has the same affinity or like mark mead

duffy, anything further? >> commissioners, joe duffy, d.b.i. just to follow up again on the 846 42 avenue property owner. if he's noticing further damage, he should contact his engineer immediately. part of the notice that was issued by d.b.i., after the friendly notice of violation, we call it, did ask for obtain an evaluation report from licensed structural engineer. evaluation shall include immediate items to mitigate/correct issues of the current foundation. so their engineer is the person that should probably be advising them on what's needed to be done out there, if they think they're getting further damage to their property, so i wanted to add that. i'm happy to speak to them about that, and of course, we at d.b.i. will meet with the engineer and do whatever we need to do from a building and code point of view. i don't think i have anything else. >> commissioner honda: okay. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. commissioners, this matter's submitted. >> commissioner honda: i'll start. so sorry that you guys are having to go through these issu

. >> congressman duffy?>> well, first of all, charlie and i weren't in the room yesterday for the hearing. and mattneither were you or you viewers. some of the information, the opening statement was leaked out. we had more democrats rush to cameras and with their perspective give us their take on what happened. john, this is a secret court. i think in america we should open this process up, let every american see bill taylor. hear his testimony, hear his accusations. >> so congressman duffy, we do have what is called in the business -- we do have what is called in the business a primary source. which is the opening statement here. and this is -- i know republicans talking about process. this opening statement isn't about process. this is his testimony. so to the testimony itself that we're seeing right here, what is your response? because congressman dent just called it stark. is it not stark? >> but john, we're having an impeachment trial right now. >> no, we're not. that's not at all true. you have an impe

the truth is out there and it really pains me that people chose their hatred against someone like duffy or saddam hussein. over the truth over what is have been in every single day for years and years and years but why is it taken you show a lot in the world talk to the media since the death of gadhafi well after the collapse of the country as leaders of the political military and cultural resistance against the western project in libya we have been politically persecuted continuous attempts to silence us and to marginalize a sparrow did you survive even because there are reports that you were captured. loads of reports of record in september to the level of care which was 11 generator it will. need to till is no no i mean we have always been in the middle in the heart of it. but we have been working underground inside libya and outside libya with many thousands of leaders from all contexts and we have been leading the alternative for libya and we have been talking to our people our tribes our cities and we have been very successful only recently in the last year or 2 the political scen

next, chairman and ceo terry duffy is here.here he is seeing the biggest spike and what you can infer. the countdown is coming right back and then we are going commercial free. stay with me. when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan. that's why we're offering seven things every medicare supplement should have. it's yours free just for calling the number on your screen. and when you call, a knowledgeable licensed agent-producer can answer any questions you have, and help you choose the plan that's right for you. the call is free, and there's no obligation. you see, medicare covers only about 80 percent of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. that's why so many people purchase medicare supplement insurance plans, like those offered by humana. they're designed to help you save money and pay some of the costs medicare does

duffy who is a great guy with a great vision for the country you believe years supporting the country and he's going to reserve to election if you listen to libyan t.v. and if you read libyan media they know even those who are against us or the agents of the west they know safe in islam is allowed to enter the political context that he will get the support of most libyan people but why should people take my word for it let's have an inclusive political system as they claimed from the beginning and let's allow all libyans to decide their future without international intervention which we called for in 2011 we called for a national conference led that conference be only libyan land supervised maybe by the african union. and little libyans decide what they want for the future the west doesn't want because they know what the libyans which rules they know they would choose the green the resistance they would choose. a path to the future that does not suit what the west wants so they chose to manage the crisis manage the chaos keep it growing was ever i will stop you that was almost of this

( laughter ) and i not just fox, it's not just fox discrediting colonel vindman, sean duffy, a formerublican congressman, was on cnn questioning whether the colonel's loyalties lie. >> he's a former ukrainian, he wants to make sure the taxpayer money goes to military aid to ukraine. >> sorry, coman duffy, why does that matter? he's an active duty military member, an american awarded the purple heart. >> i'm of irish dissent, i love the irish -- >> trevor: sean duffy made it sound leak he would sell out america to another country. that's what he basically did. i have an affinity for ireland and if you get one potato in me, there's no telling what i'll do! to help us make sense of this ukraine in the impeachment saga, we turn to roy wood, jr., everybody! ( cheers and applause ) vindman is a decorated war hero, yet trump's defenders are not just challenging his credibility but questioning his patriotism. what does this mean? >> it means these people are right. the dude is straight out to have soviet union. i seen all the james bond, jason bourne movies several times in theaters by myself

duffy said, related to the project. when we say we'll catch things, it's not that we hope it, it goes through a much more scrutinous review. that's why we have faith in it and most of the time, it does work. >> clerk: okay. so we have a motion from commissioner tanner to deny the appeal and uphold the permit on the basis that it was properly issued. on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: okay. so that motion carries, 3-0, and this adjourns the meeting. [gavel]. >> clerk: thank you. >> right before the game starts, if i'm still on the field, i look around, and i just take a deep breath because it is so exciting and magical, not knowing what the season holds holds is very, very exciting. it was fast-paced, stressful, but the good kind of stressful, high energy. there was a crowd to entertain, it was overwhelming in a good way, and i really, really enjoyed it. i continued working for the grizzlies for the 2012-2013 season, and out of happenstance, the same job opened up for the san francisco giants. i applied, not knowing

[gavel]. >> clerk: thank you. >> i personally love the mega jobs. i think they're a lot of fun. i like being part of a build that is bigger than myself and outlast me and make a mark on a landscape or industry. ♪ we do a lot of the big sexy jobs, the stacked towers, transit center, a lot of the note worthy projects. i'm second generation construction. my dad was in it and for me it just felt right. i was about 16 when i first started drafting home plans for people and working my way through college. in college i became a project engineer on the job, replacing others who

dent and congressman duffy our new cnn contributor. welcome. great to have you. >> thanks for having me. good to be part of the family. >> great to have you fresh off of capitol hill. i mean, you were just there last month. you were working as a congressman last month and so you are the perfect person to start with here. are you -- were you sensing and are you sensing now some erosion of support among republicans for president trump? >> i don't. i think the republicans are very honest in the sense when they agree with the president they say it, and disagree they will say that too. they're absolutely opposed to impeachment. they don't think the process has been fair. >> rooney doesn't sound opposed to impeachment. >> i think congressman rooney is one of maybe a couple, right. but when they disagree with the policy on syria, everybody speaks out. so people feel free to say what they want. there is a frustration with impeachment. in america we have due process. we get to confront our accusers and call witnesses. we don't have secret court

but i think sean duffy and company are right about some of these process issues. i don't understand why these are behind closed doors. >> one of the arguments is that -- >> line up their testimony. >> it's less of a show behind closed doors. they're trying to get the information without people grandstanding. >> i think this testimony should be in public. now, remember, this -- the impeachment, if it goes forward, will have to be before the judiciary committee and there will be witnesses and presumably taylor and others who have testified behind closed doors before the intelligence committee will do it in public in front of the judiciary committee. i certainly hope that's the case. but i do think this is an unusual process where -- the good news about yesterday is -- what was different about the other -- about starr was that it was a grand jury investigation. a criminal investigation, not a congressional investigation. custom early, congressional investigations are in public. the watergate committee was in public, chaired by sam ervin in the mid'70s. so i think the

duffy acknowledged at the hearing., they should have the right to file an appeal against the new special permit. the board should have granted the appeal with an extension because the permit is completely involved with the fence. the board ignored the appellant 's -- [indiscernible] the respondent lied to the appellant that they will permit a fence of a certain height. what the respondent it is completely disrespectful to both the appellant and city law. they illegally registered their backyard. [indiscernible] the hearing of the appeal should be granted. thank you for your patients. >> thank you. okay. we will now hear from the permit holder. >> good evening, commissioners. i am the tenant and the respondents from the private hearings. we are respectfully asking the board denied the request for hearing on the basis or has not been any substantial new evidence presented by the appellant that would indicate that the updated north side fence is on the property side. as the appellant stated in the written request, the app

at least you weren't alone a cnn contributor named sean duffy got in on the action as well. >> mr., he's an adviser to the president he is a former ukrainian he wants to make sure the taxpayer money goes in military aid to the ukraine - >> i'm sorry i'm sorry. why does it matter why does it matter where he was born i'm sorry, congressman duffy why does it matter where he was born >> i'm going to explain that to you. >> that came up on fox news. he's an active duty military member, an american who was awarded the purple heart >> but you know what, it seems very clear that he is incredibly concerned about ukrainian defense. i don't know that he's concerned about american policy, but his main mission was to make sure that the ukraine got those weapons. >> seth: oh, hey, sean duffy, you don't know about his concern for american policy? he got a purple heart fighting for america. you were, and this is true, this seriously true, a cast member on "the real world: boston. [ laughter ] and by the way "the real world: boston" is the biggest oxymoron i have ever heard. [ light laughter ] bost

duffy said the building was safe. so we have that. and the third permit that they requested was to add a roof deck and three rooms in the garage so that they could turn eight-room flat into an 11-room flat. the building does not have to be lifted for a seismic retrofit. it has to be lifted because it's going to be luxury flats out of this. so as for relocation, they have continued to send checks, of which none have been cashed. i have lost count how many times they've sent checks. and basically, we have proposed to them a solution to this. the two vacant units were famil- >> i'm sorry, your time is up. >> we only allow three minutes. >> can i just say one thing? this is a 73-year-old african-american woman who has her own disabilities. her daughter, barbara is schizophrenic and she has to provide primary care. you all know how many mental services there are for people. the son-in-law has had significancsixoperations since d there's a 9-year-old. >> ok, thank you very much. we appreciate you coming. >> any additional public comment? se

a lot to all the money is trusting god lisa rose trusting to only be trusting you know across the duffy wanted to make. the front a fighting front with the west quite so you could win on the african front he knew libya is a small country of 6000000 he cannot have wars all over so he made the decision in the 2 thousands to open up the western embassies in tripoli and to have some limited economic deals with some european and american was a mistake i don't think it was a mistake or such i think it was a clever idea. to quite to make the western front quiet and to pay attention to the african context but as i said we had some internal weaknesses and we had some african weaknesses and we were not able we did not have enough time to build our strength up you know if the 2011 conspiracy was delayed a little bit like for 5 years we would have been much stronger and we would have built some african and institutions like the african union fight force military force that would have helped us to be protected and to stop any such conspiracy the west understood that that's why they rushed in. creati

if you listen to them their leaders they say this they say ok duffy use the tribal structure of the country to have an alliance between tribes for him but this is the culture of the country and if the people are on one side the vast majority then you should be on the side of the people how did the generals how did you serve well it's just sheer luck i mean we fought for me my rule of course was a political one was not a fighting one but with the collapse of tripoli i had to withdraw to the city of beni will eat and there we. were lead and the city of sirte we led the military resistance for 3 months let's remember that libya stood very tall for 8 months facing $44.00 countries including the mighty nato now if gadhafi was isolated and no one was with him and the libyan people wanted to rebel against him how could he have is qaddafi some sort of magician how could he sed stop nato attack and face it for 8 months if the libyan people were not on his side we where the many we were the majority and we fought and most you know many comrades and many friends died and by sheer luck we survived i le

i wonder if shawn duffy east served in uniform. i know that vindman and his children have. again, i think laura ingraham actually did a great disservice for the president of the united states because everybody stopped talking about el baghdadi and started talking about how heinous it was what she and others -- i didn't hear what -- >> duffy was on mtv. >> i didn't hear what the guy who was involved in the epstein case said. they were all, though, trashing -- all trashing vindman, and all it did was it completely redirected the talk from al baghdadi to this story. so sometimes strufwhen you're t to help the president by saying something outrageous, we've gotten to the point in the process where that may have worked in 2016 and 2017. it doesn't work anymore. >> don't forget the story of america. a lot of us are children of immigrants or immigrants. >> it's a really good story. >> albert einstein came from germany, helped us win the war. >> good morning. >> good story. this american story, ronald reagan talked about it in his farewell address to the country. he said we become
