eric brooks again. this time representing our city of san francisco, local grassroots group and the san francisco green party. i wanted to really -- you probably already thinking in this direction, it is vital during the virus crises that we get responsive and data on what front line workers need because of the virus crises. especially with we're just finding out today that congress is totally dropping the ball on support -- unemployment support maybe a lot lower and that essential workers like this, is vital that we're paying them a lot of money. soothe like doing this. we really need to get data and responses specifically on that. not just for this industry but this will cover but if we get the right kind of responses it will apply to uber and lyft and maybe even whole foods workers, grocery store workers, you name it. so we can get some guidance on giving real relief to front line workers and make sure they're paid well enough to justify the hard work that we're having them do. those are my comments.

. ♪ >> brooke: i don't know if i would have believed it, if 30 years ago you told me i'd be i y. >> ericmarrying my son. >> brooke: [ laughs ] that i definitely wouldn't have believed. i would have fantasized about it, but... >> eric: we both got lucky. we ended up marrying our fantasies. what? >> brooke: i really thought quinn would end up hurting you. or worse.sog e st us didn't. you believed in her, and she really does love you and adore you. i guess we're all finally starting to understand that.

. >> i'm eric brooks. i coordinate our city san francisco local grass rats nonprofits. it's important to understand that housing and also rental property for small businesses should not be a subject of speculation at all. it is the reason that our small businesses and tenants are being devastated in san francisco and kicked out. people need to understand that this issue of buying and selling property without even caring how much it cost, just raising the value over and over again, is what drives big pump for the global failing economy that's not handled properly by international banks. this tax gets us on the first step to setting the tax, letting speculators know that this is unpopular and we don't want them to speculate on real estate. it gives them enough time so that we can raise this overtime until they can get out of the business -- >> your time has expired. >> next caller please. >> i'm calling today in support of the tax, simply put, to put this measure on the ballot. many of us said this already. i want to echo all those beautiful voices. please put this on the

this is eric brooks i relative humidity californians for choice who has worked over a decade to get programs off the ground and a local grass roots organization. first i want to second what was said about the water law suit and agree with hunter and the other commenter. the main thing i want to speak to is what was going to be item 12 on nuclear. first of all and i'll send you information about this. nuclear is not carbon-free as was suggest in your packet. the main concern i have about what this agenda item though it was public policy, all your other action items in your agenda and all your agendas make it clear when they're an action item voting on a resolution. this is the first time i've seen on an sfpuc agenda that was not clearly mark as an action item when it was one and which even worse, in the agenda that was just about reenforcing and confirming existing policy against nuclear power in san francisco when the underlying action item was the opposite and about taking nuclear power from pg&e and selling to other jurisdictions. that's frankly an outrageous deception. i've never in my 26

. >> speaker: this is eric brooks with the grass root's organization in our city and coordinating the state-wide cleaning coalition through energy choice spy wanted t. it is difficult when you're waiting to make a comment on the phone to hear -- several of the speakers we haven't been able to hear. i've been listening to presentations on the tv line and since that's delayed, it's hard to involve yourself with the call-in process. so i want to make sure that folks know that, yes, this is a problem and zoom is a solution and there are city departments that use that in a way that provides better security than just a regular zoom set-up and i guess you would have to ask the department of technology about how exactly to do that, but i, too, would recommend that. thank you. >> speaker: this is david phipel and i wanted to thank you for addressing my concern and the other callers for joining in. in. >> mayor breed: today we have 4935 confirmed crisis of covid-19 and 52 people have lost their lives. i will provide an update i tested negative for a second time after be exposed to someone with

brooke. and one of the reasons, as the mayor said, mayor eric garcetti on cnn state of the union over the weekend that some has to do with complacency, we're the first state to go to the stay-at-home order and the lack of leadership from the federal government and the president as well. which all of that aside, when you look at numbers, they're not in the right place. when you talk about the hospitalization number and the 2200 new cases and over the last five days there have been more than 2100 cases announced and the positivity rate here in the state -- in the county is at 10%, these are all not the way people want to see the numbers to go. the other part of this that is worth noting is the fact that of the cases, 52% here in los angeles county are from people who are 41 years and younger. so this idea that this is only affecting older people in the country is obviously not the case here in los angeles. which is the center of the outbreak in the state. in fact, half of the deaths, more than half of the deaths that we've seen in california, have been here in california. i could tell you that cali

brooke breaking out there. like i say, you don't see that much anymore. ray knight of the mets at third base gets into it with eric davis of to the reds, and they have it out. there was a lot more good stuff that happened on this day in sports. joe has it for us. >> lots of bay bridge history this time of year. on this date two years ago, the a's walked off in the 10th on mart chapman's chopper up the middle. >> the a's walk off again! >> 6-5 oakland. british open history on this day. ballesteros finish income style for his second open and fourth major title, and once ranked number one in the world, david duval made the open his only major title on this day in 2001. that's this day in sports, july 22nd. i'm joe fonzi. >>> liverpool, england, home of the battles, and as of tonight, champions of the premiere league. liverpool, first time in 30 years. both teams take a knee before the match. unreal ball-handling here. chelsea tries to come back from a 4-1 deficit, but liverpool ends up hang on for the 5-3 victory, and premier league champs celebrate in fine fashion. liverpool wins it all, and that is the sporting lif

eric garner, michael brown or tony mcdade. there can be no justice for breonna taylor, natasha mckenna -- for rashard brooks, stephan clark, freddie gray or terrence kohlmann. for in a truly just world, they would all still be with us. there however must be accountability. this is personal. i am a congresswoman, but first+ she already know noahs the unbearable pain of fearing for our life or her father's life and for those she loves when ever we're out of her sight. i know what it is to be surveyed, profiled and threatened. and still, we rise. generations from now, our grandchildren will look back and ask a simple question. when you have the opportunity to legislate with conviction, to summon the political courage, to ensure that not another man is lynched in broad daylight, that not another woman is murdered in her own home, did you? so i thank our witnesses for joining us today. for lifting their voices, holding us accountable and for fighting to ensure their loved one's deaths were not in vain. thank you and i yield. >> thank you. mean fingful statement. is there any republican who would like to be recognized for a statement? a

. >> eric: the frustration is growing understandably after an 8-year-old girl was shot and killed. that was just across the street from the wendy's where rayshard brooks was shot. the little girl was 1 of 5 people who were gunned it down over a weekend of violence in georgia leading governor brian kemp to declare a state of emergency. joining us now it's georgia republican senator carrie loeffler. senator, it's revolting, it's offensive, it's disgusting and heartbreaking. if carnage is happening in cities across the country and atlanta, who do you blame? >> thanks for having me on, this is tragic. and my heart breaks for her and her family. this was a needless active murder that could've been prevented. when you move to defund the police, the radical movement to defund the police is creating havoc for the safety of our community. what has happened is that has resulted in the death of a chi child. i've been calling for an end to the senseless violence and i was criticized because i'm a conservative. but look what has happened. a child has died and the governor has rightly shown decisive leadership and brought in the national guard to regain the order a
