house. if he had won the election for congress, he would have gone to washington and stayed there. but his decision to stay here in arkansas, be the governor, eventually led to his bid for the white house. one of the fun things about this room, the dining room, where most people would use it as a dining room, the clintons used it as campaign headquarters. bill had decided to run for attorney general two years after losing to john paul hammerschmidt, and he had two primary contenders in the democratic primary, cash and jurnigan. he won quite handedly, actually, in the primary race and he did not have a contender in the election. so he's running his northwest arkansas part of the attorney general's campaign from here in the dining room. because he didn't have a general election opponent, he was able to work on behalf of jimmy carter in '76, and he was carter's arkansas chair, and carter went on to win 65% of the arkansas vote that year. during the time that bill was running the arkansas carter

on the housing issue is like to first establish the fact. the housing crisis as mr.eally begin since the mid-1990s, and, of course, mr. vaughan will know that in 1983 the federal level government canceled the national affordable housing program, and that was under the liberal government. and as a result of that this country lost more than half 1 million units of affordable housing that was otherwise would've been built across this country. so imagine what our country would look like today if we had had an additional half a million units of affordable or co-op housing, right? so hence, the housing prices were in, that was in part of a result of the liberal government action. so that said, we do have a situation and i would argue that the need for affordable housing is across the board. and i see in my commute in british columbia, in east africa but i see it across the country as well. this situation of course is challenged because of the asylum-seekers coming over. and so mr. vaughan talked about a national affordable housing the company established this fact as well.

, low-income housing, and middle class housing is basically a housing issue, per se. i talked with a member of the german parliament the other day. i was asked to have lunch with them and helping the planning department bridge the gap for time they didn't have. and this gentleman told me that housing is a basic constitutional right. that is not quite the case here, and he tried to talk to me and i was a little bit chill about what we are doing with low-income evictions, what we are doing with ellis act housing, and what we are doing with middle-income housing. for example, leaving a unit empty for more than three months in their definition is an intent of change of use. and it's a very kind of heavy weighted decision because that allows, in their environment, people to basically be fined and be fined to the extent that people are really serious trying to stay away from having empty units. if we have a housing shortage for all lower and middle-income housing, then i think we need to start a serious look at the large amount of vacancy that we have in the area of 35 or 4

remindsle white house many of our visitors of their mom's house, or their grandmother's house, perhaps favorite aunt. it is very humbly furnished. it is very subtle. i think that the number one thing is that people coming in go, i could live here. this feels like my house. it really is the people's house in so many ways. it is not big house by any means. they get it. harry truman was truly human. he was one of us. socertainly would've been .eeping with his character ♪ you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country at c-span.org. this is american history tv, only on c-span3. week, american artifacts takes you to museums and historic laces to learn about american history. here's a brief look at one of our recent trips. >> these next few galleries really tell the story of the chesapeake bay region. maryland, virginia, north carolina. move out of the 17th century and into the 18th, what you begin to see is how the londonof places like are really having an impact threat the entire south. you begin to see, not just people coming from land, but tradesme

and just a very imposing house. that became the model for many other plantation houses. they began building the nucleus of this building in 1819. and their financial position had turned around sufficiently that they were ready to bailed house of this size. they moved into the house in 1821. it was basically the same building as this. but much simpler. rachel died in 1828. in the years following her death, the house was expanded. at one point the house burned and it was rebuilt into the mansion that we know today. the original plan of the house, the middle part, is called a center hall or georgian plan house. where there's center hall on both floors and four rooms. two on each side of the hallway. and a stairway in the, in the center hall. again, behind me you see the curved flying stairway that we have today. that was constructed while jackson was here. the intention was that when you walk through the front door were you supposed to go wow. or whatever the 1838 version of "wow" was. but the intention was to impress. the height of the ceiling. the house went through three

the house is big enough. in 1831 they had two wings to the house. one is a large dining room to accommodate large dinners they were having here. the other ends up being jackson's library. it's adjacent to this bedroom. the two wings make it symmetrical. the fire took place in october 1834 and it was a chimney fire. the chimneys had not been properly cleaned over the summer so it had built up and clearly be using the fireplaces all the time in this was in the kitchen. it was a windy day. at that time the house had a cedar roof. the next thing you know you are off to the races with a fire. they called in slaves from the field and were able to empty some of the second floor contents. we know little about rachel. the house was badly damaged to the point where the family had to move out. it took almost 2 years to rebuild the house. the final result was a far grander and more impressive, some i call it pretensions house than before. even when they lived in the log farmhouse, if you were a dignitary coming to nashville, you would visit andrew and rachel ja

next, white house journalists talked about their experiences covering the white house, from eisenhower to the trump administration. the association for education in journalism and mass communication posted this one hour event. thissted this -- hosted one hour event. jennifer: so one of the things the president gets to do is invite people to come give a keynote address, and as i was thinking about our locale, as we see here, our lovely logo with the capital, all i had to do was turn on the news, look at the newspaper, open my twitter feed, and realize what our topic had to be. it had to be looking at the relationship between our chief executive and the white house press corps. and so i am so honored to have instead of one guest, i decided to do a q&a panel with three outstanding white house press corps members, and i will bring them up one at a time. the format is going to be, we are going to have a conversation, and i will tell you, i think our friends at c-span, who were going to air this at 9:30 eastern tonight -- they are taping it right now, and that way it can be shared by so many

this housing estate served as an example for the later housing complexes of european cities after the war these us students from san diego are impressed by the pioneering designs and. i was surprised by the attention that these designers put in the living experience of the people who are going to occupy these homes so for example the ability to expand the rooms in the steel house that we visited where the windows are respect to the air in the light the way that the windows would open depending on the climate that you are experiencing at the time every little thing seems to have a purpose this was the design of an entire city like the fact that they were thinking about where people would need to eat and drink and what they would need to eat and. just the basic necessities in creating affordable housing bauhaus is like not just artistically progressive but also socially progressive and that's a whole aspect that we didn't understand. in tel aviv to people live in bad house buildings when the nazis came to power and germany many jewish architects fled to the mediterranean metropolis and

house correspondents. and john meacham talks about george w. bush, thomas jefferson and franklin d. roosevelt. live coverage from the historical associations from presidential sites across the country begins wednesday at 9:00 a.m. eastern. >>> springwood estate in hyde park, new york is the birthplace and resting place of franklin roosevelt. we'll tour this home north of new york city and hear the private stories of a very public man. >> this was home. this was where his heart always was. he once said to his friend and neighbors, my heart has always been here and always will be. and it was. this is where he drew strength and happiness throughout his entire life. franklin d roosevelt was born and raised in this house. and he was buried right here on the estate as well. the roosevelts originally had a different estate a little bit down the road from this property. and the house burnt to the ground in 1865. and then fdr's father mr. james roosevelt purchased this property to be their new home in the hudson va

you covered many presidents in the white house. if you could give your reflections on how that relationship has evolved during the time you are there. eisenhower so you know i am old. familiar with the old axiom -- i wish you to live in interesting times but i'm afraid we now live in a time that's too interesting. [laughter] morning, my wife barbara and i were reading the washington post in bed and we still subscribe to real newspapers. [applause] that was easy applause. i saw a quote from a washington could post reporter that covers national security. he gave a pretty accurate summation of what we have all lived through since january of last year. miller eveneg though he covers national issues, it applies to others. , it's really bewildering not just a story which is the craziest and most complicated than we have ever seen but the fact that while covering it, our institution, journalism is under siege in a way that none of us ever expected. that is true. we would do well to remember that journalism has been under attack before. ma

of the white house is about lying. of course, we have daily lies coming from the white house, the staff must know it. and they must in some way make some allowance for their less than forthright commander in chief. >> right. maybe it bought a little credibility. it's part of the all-out-war between the white house and former staffer/apprentice contestant omarosa. she's out for blood ahead of the release of her book unhinged. as part of her publicity tour, she's releasing secret audio recordings she made at the end the tail of her white house tenure. here's one of the tapes john kelly firing her in the situation room. >> but i think it's important to understand that if we make this a friendly departure, we can all be, you know, you can look at your time here in the white house as a year of service to the nation. and then you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation. >> and omarosa released another recording earlier today, this one of a phone call between herself and the presiden

style to british houses. some owners of these houses furnished their houses with furniture bought from london's best makers. one of the best names was thomas chippendale. he is still one of the very few british cabinet makers people have heard of. other than that, they think of a talented group of male strippers. but, chippendale's name was made on account of his skill as a craftsman. his book of into designs -- of -- his book of intricate designs. his works bond imitations all across the country. i share some of his chair designs. which you can see, or copied in america soon after printing. was made in the classical style of the 1760s and 1770s. his designs, being perfectly exuberant in the middle years of the 18th century known as the time of the rococo or modern style. chippendale's workshop was large. at one time, about 100 craftsman work there -- worked there. the means of production was a turning point, one of the cleverest to realize its potential was matthew bolton. and entrepreneur who captured the l

an official white house china as well as art in the white house, a nation's pride. written by william cloth. all published by the white house historical association. with the objects featured today you will see nearly all were gifts to the white house. some examples or gestures of goodwill, tokens of friendship while others were presented to enhance the historic furnishings so that only the finest objects would be found in the home of the president of united states. what a better place to begin then with the desk made by the timbers. the resolute is part of an expedition formed in 1852. to search for the explorer search on franklin. sir john franklin had set out in 1845 in search of the northwest passage. by july of that year he had disappeared. in the meantime other expeditions were formed. this one consisted of five vessels. including the resolute. it was constructed, especially for arctic service. the bal was used to help cut through the ice. it was the -- under the command of captain henry kollek. it was trapped in the ice in 1854. they had spent two winters in

this is the murphy house designed by the architect richard murphy. twenty sixteen it was named house of the year by boyle institute of british architects. there are lots of ideas behind this house how it fits into a piece of historic edinburgh how it changes between winter and summer how you get a lot of rooms into a very small space how you save energy. when architects really brings to bear his own inferences interests of other architects he started. that's quite a limited volume of space so the shape of the house came from that building up high on one side and low on the other and then try to get as lots of many rooms in that was possible and using those devices to make the house food bigger that it actually is. the murphy house with its unique architecture certainly stands out in that immersed popular new town. most of the houses here were built in the nineteenth century represented the world's largest example of uninterrupted late georgian architecture. the murphy house has eight levels. with one hundred forty square meters of living space it too

you can slap a miracle whip sign-on the white house, there is no diversity on this white house line-uphen he makes comments about nfl players and about anybody else he's not getting good counsel. and you said it at the top of the show when we were transitioning from chris' show to yours, you need that type of diversity so you have diverse thought. so you can actually have a valued opinion from people who do not look like you who have actually had various life experiences. donald trump doesn't have that. >> i was thinking about smith, it's such an easy one. >> smith, yeah. and he's actually a cool guy. it's like jeron smith, and you know somebody named jeron was in the white house. jeron smith. >> to bakari's point, he pointed to the housing and urban secretary ben carson, his only black cabinet member. but in fact 24 cabinet positions, 16 are occupied by white men. so the president, isn't he missing out on vital parts -- vital points of view for having so few minority in high positions? isn't he missing out on that? >> right, don i think he is. and you and i have talked about this off

there are about house buildings around they have house work. there is no museum in there so yeah there is the original boathouse architecture which is now ninety years old and not all that suited to be a museum of the museum was built to show our collection we have the second biggest powerhouse collection in the world over the years it's accumulated and it's now in our debt. why is the bauhaus so legendary and. why is it so legendary in the one nine hundred twenty is it was the only place in the world where young people architects designers artists. all very different types of personalities they all came together had a common vision to rethink life in a modern way and they broke to blues in such a radical way that they are legendary today. and. so what hidden treasures are still in storage. i mean both going to know again he tells me what will be on display in the death house museum from next year onwards. what do we have here yes it's very colorful. paper by. them all painted you to nine hundred twenty three. stayed in his. possession. and i c

the house was rebuilt. like cra. the house was rebuilt. like cra. the house was rebuilt. largely what's there is what they built. the theme the scottish stone masons started have been continued on the house. the house was finished for new year's 1818. they seem to like cracker and meats and so forth. it was a double celebration. >> the basic sign of a georgian house is a rectanglrectangle. the house is famous for its porticos. >> they were probably thought about during jefferson's time. hoben claimed he designed them and charles bullfence sort of favored president monroe went to hoben's house and took drawings down off the frames of the wall and copied them, traced them. hoben really designed them. they didn't prepare for them. there was a porch put on the area way put on the front. it was just path but the vault is still under there. the sort portico was completed first. that podium is there. the floor was there and the columns were added and the roof. it's not a portico. it doesn't have the triangular pediment. it was added in 29 to 32. hoben did it all. he was the dire

and housing production. i'm proud to be here that this is one of the largest housing purchases we've made as a city, and i want to thank supervisor safai for being in tune of what's happening in thinks district and the needs of those who are here. thank you all for playing a part, and i'm just excited about this. and i just can't even believe that we have been able to do something so amazing in san francisco. and let's continue, as was said, to make this the norm and not the exception. thank you all so much for being here today. [applause]

did the same -- the bush white house does the same, and so did the obama white house. while both presidents agreed the press is undermining them, it is an adversarial process. mr. trump believes you can choose your own new cycle, you can choose your own newsfeed, ,ou can trust in institutions and we have not necessarily helped him along the way. but we have never had a characterizedhas the press as not just his life him but disliking america. we have never had demonizing attacks the way this president has against individual reporters. and yet we have never had a president who craves the approval of the media. -- who he felt like rejected him years ago, and he continues to seek approval. set, trump's support was low before he took office. the residents campaign or in 2016, covers of the most stolen from hillary clinton's campaign chairman. there has been a lot of confusion about why the white house does certain things come and there is an assumption everything is part of a larger strategy whatever hope people would understand is after his trip through europe and the hel

namely, the white house, its historic furnishings and first families and official white house china, as well as art in the white house, a nation's pride, essays by the art historian william klauss, all published by the white house historian association, i should add. furnish issuing e inings so tha finest objects would be found in the home of the president of the united states. what better place to begin than with the desk made by the timbers of the hms resolute? it was part of an exhibition formed in 1852 to search for the explorer sir john franklin. he had set in and out 1845 in search of the northwest passage. by july of that year, he was -- he had disappeared. in the meantime, other expeditions were formed but this one consisted of five vessels, including the resolute that was constructed especially for arctic service. the bow was sheathed in iron to help cut through the ice and it was under the command of captain henry kellogg. in april of 1854, it was trapped in the ice. they had already spent two winters in the arctic, their supplies were running low and the expedition command

and then one time, they call me, december '79, they call me at my house, the white house called my house and said, roland, i'm going to bring an employment sheet and i want you to fill it in, if you don't mind. and also, mrs. carter, wish for you to come to the white house. that was a trick! so anyway, i accepted. and those days, i drove all the way from virginia to downtown d.c. to visit the white house. now, i was driving in a 1965 dodge dart, avocado green. not the prettiest thing to bring down to d.c., let me tell you. but, you know, the nicest thing, those days, they let me drive on pennsylvania avenue. they opened the big gate to drive right in, and they asked me to park my avocado under the colonnade. is that beautiful or what? i say, i start to like this place, you know? if i get a job here, i get to park here every day. no, that didn't last that long. well, anyway, took a tour of the white house, and you should be on the tour welcoming me, mrs. carter, with opening arm, she was so nice. gave me a hug and she said, come with me, we need to talk. so she pulled me on the side over

through the white house. and so mrs. bush had made sure that any of the resident's staff that were still working in the white house that had been there in the johnson time were there to greet mrs. johnson at the diplomatic reception room door when she stepped in. and in addition, one of the butlers that had worked for the johnsons, mr. german, was now a part-time elevator operator, operated the president's elevator in the white house, just a few days a week, mrs. bush made sure that he was there and that he was the one that greeted mrs. johnson when the door was opened of the car for her to get out. and the way that mrs. johnson reached up in recognition to embrace mr. german and how he embraced her, is really would just make you weep. but would also, the two last things that i'll just say about mrs. johnson's visit, her last visit to the white house, is, mrs. bush wheeled her into the vermeil room on the ground floor, which had just been repainted under one of the restoration projects that mrs. bush did, tha

manigault newman left the white house back in december.morning she released audio on nbc's "today" show of what she claims to be the president calling her the day after she was fired. >> omarosa, what's going on? i just saw on the news that you're thinking about leaving. what happened? >> general kelly -- general kelly came to me and said you that guys wanted me to leave. >> no. i -- nobody even told me about it. nobody. you know, they run a big operation, but i didn't know it. i didn't know that. [ bleep ]. i don't love you leaving at all. >> reporter: trump appearing to not know of her firing, though on "meet the press" on sunday manigault newman says he was indeed aware. >> i've talked to him subsequently, and he said he delegated, "i delegated." so he knew. >> reporter: she says she recorded chief of staff john kelly in the secure situation room as he was firing her, claiming he locked her in. >> i'm only going to stay for a couple of minutes. these are lawyers. we've got to talk to you about leaving the white house. there are pretty s

it's a working house. and the white house is a working house. where many things are done. so, you have to regulate public access and tours and the way people access it and who accesses it. uf unfortunately, you'd like everybody to be able to. one gets criticism because, you know, you can't afford it to everybody, but you try to educate the best you can and the people who are receptive to that education, you try to encourage those institutions that will benefit from it. that's what we do in a more regulated way. i'm sure her majesty does the same, too. >> lydia? >> i just want to say, it helps to educate the staffs that work with you, too. we try to hold handling sessions to be sure everybody when they pick up a chair, knows they have to pick it up by the seat, not grab it by the back. every little thing like that helps. but in a house that's only partly a museum but a home, it can be very frustrating at times. >> yes. we have a question. john peters, ireland, and then two more over here. john? >> i have to preface my question with the fact -- >> john, hold it up tight. wor

of the house. when we laser scan, we run our scanner on a tripod and then replace it with panoramic -- a camera that can take panoramic slr images and we can map the color from those images onto the laser scan. and that provides a point cloud of -- a three will-dimensional point cloud from which we can use our model software or other software, too, pull measurements and other kind of useful information out of it. >> how did trimble get involved in doing this philanthropic project? >> one of the vice presidents, brent fosberg is very passionate about africa and he's spent many years there. as part of that, he has the ability to kind of help trimble choose which kind of philanthropic projects to do. this is one he was very, very passionate about it. so, we got together with an organization in the past called siarc who documents world heritage sites around the world digitally and started to work with them using our technology to document sites that were important to the atlantic slave trade. we've hit

we usually always have the main house. here we have the main house. this structure may have been used as a kitchen and a space for kitchen corridors. you have a privy and a smokehouse and a well. the smokehouse and well-being next to the building were next to the kitchen. buildings are clustered together because of the function. smokehouse, larry, water defined next to the kitchen because kitchens rely on those things. kitchens are usually close to the main house because they service the main house. now across the road is a tobacco barn that was originally part of the original plantation but was disconnected from it now. you have to just kind of get a good picture and understand how people would have been moving around and where the farm and where they crops would have been. you have to know where the buildings would have been and i just don't know where that would have been for this plantation. it has been divided. there is roads cutting through. a lot of the spaces were definitely not there a work. it is hard to paint a good picture of what it was l

assuming democrats win the house, which we all believe is a very vong listrong likelihood, white house will be under siege. but it's like tumbleweeds rolling down the halls over there. no one is prepared for a war. let's bring in our leadoff panel. phil rucker, the pulitzer prize winning bureau chief for the "washington post." tamara keith, white house correspondent for npr, and richard painter was chief white house ethics adviser for george w. bush. why now? what's specific about the potential departure of mcgahn that's got so many people worried, or is it just one more thing that's making them worried? >> ali, it's just one more thing that's making them worry. this fear has been building for a while now as it looks increasingly likely that democrats have a real possibility of taking over the majority of the house at a minimum in november's midterm elections. and people around the president, his allies, including some of his advisers inside the white house, are very concerned that could lead to a barrage of subpoenas, of investigations, of inquiries into ethical misconduct in the admi

. >>> house of deception. amarosa accuses of white house of deceiving the american people and says she is partially to blame. >> i was complicit with this white house deceiving this nation. >> and meeting mueller, rudy guiliani once again weighing in on whether president trump will sit down with the special counsel's team of investigators. >>> but we begin with protests in the streets of our nation's capital and charlottesville, virginia, today. right now, several counter protest rallies are taking place as washington braces for hundreds of right wing organizers expected to descend and rally in front of the white house. those white supremacists making their way from northern virginia to washington. the tension also triggering a state of emergency in charlottesville, a town at the center of a racial divide in this country. all this happening just a year after a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters in charlottesville, killing heather heyer, as she took a stand against hate. moments

and the white house's credibility from the white house. both are under siege today. there's very little trust in the press and there's very little trust among some jen way in the information that's coming from the white house. i certainly remember when i was at the white house and when i was bureau chief at cnn, if the president said something or a press secretary would say something that was mistaken or a misstatement there was an effort to quickly correct the record. i remember marlin fitswater would walk around with his big cigar that he wouldn't light and he would actually walk through the press office and say, what i said or what the president said, let me just tweak that. there was a very good relationship there and he got a lot of credit for that. but we are not at that place now. i mean -- and now there is a very particular and personal and some would say grandstanding environment around this. where do you see this question of credibility now in terms of, again, plugging this into all the technology that we've got and the cameras a

when cnn reported that senior white house staff signed ndas this year, the white house denied it. >> i can't say that the report that -- required or asked to sign non-disclosure agreements is not true. >> reporter: a white house official telling cnn they don't consider her recordings and worried she wasn't the only staffer recording conversations. all this as threatening more trouble for the white house. >> do you have more recordings? >> oh, absolutely. >> are you planning on releasing them? >> i don't know. i'm going to watch to say. they're threatening legal action. trying to figure out how to stop me. i'm expecting they retaliate so i'm going to stand back and wait. >> reporter: now, jim, the president was more than happy to mention omarosa on several occasions today and there's one critic of his he made no mention of. that's senator john mccain. whether the president was today signing a massive defense spending bill named after senator john mccain with brain cancer and who made it a top priority as the president went down his list thanking people for their help in getting that t

they began selling the houses. people bought the houses. some people connected the houses with permission james hogan -- hoban did when he got married. they let him have several houses to put together. he remained the whole project. collin williamson made himself expendable with his arguments and battles over the hours. the irish were pretty wild. they were young men. there was a brothel here. and lots of booze. hoban control them by making them join the militia. they had to come to militia meetings or they got signed. he controlled his men. williamson could not stand it. he was old and so he quit. he spent his life here in washington. then the project went on. at that point they commissioned. they sent to scotland stonemasons. by reputation the scots were the greatest stonemasons on earth. they where -- were great stonemasons. loeb a hold they did find they were lucky. edinburgh, they were on hard times. a new town was being built. the adam brothers designed it. the stonemason could buy the lot. he had to build a fagade like adams plan. he

later addition to the house. the -- the house history and the kitchen moved back to the very back eventually. the stove here is a nice story. this is a -- not the one. but it is the identical model that was in the room. henry ford remembered it so specifically that there was a epic search to try to find one just like it. and the little bench by the window would have been one of the places where he would have worked on repairing things, especially watches. the china in there is a reproduction but done very specifically off of originals that ford remembered the family having when he was a kid as well. we don't cook here a lot but we do several times a year for the christmas season and during the fall. heritage weeke-- and for the ha weekend and for his birthday we cook in here. so the stove is a stove from the time period but not the one that ford picked out. the one that -- the one he picked out is preserved and we've chosen another one from the time period because we use it. and this room has lots of doors and wi

the "new york times" is reporting the white house believes there could be dozens of white house tapesg me now is mark short. now a cnn political commentator. it is great to have you on "new day." a tape from someone that worked at the white house. omarosa from the day after she was fired, a phone call with the president of the united states. >> my reaction is that whether or not the president was aware or not it seems general kelly made the right call. >> is thering in odd about taping a phone call. >> absolutely. i think in the beginning they were worried about people having phones in the oval office, when you walk in the white house, they ask if you a phone or device that needs to be turned in here, into the lockers as you walk in the door. so the fact that she would have brought a recording device into a secure facility would have been a big breach of protocol. >> it was surprising that a high level of the white house had been fired before. >> i think that general kelly's chief of staff brought discretion able staffing decisions, but i imagine he would have had a conversation about

the house cost eleven. thousand euros to build he paid half and self the rest came from his family he's been living in the tiny house for ten months the utility goes on though he pays just forty two year as a month for electricity the insulation is would find its environmentally friendly and keeps the interior cool in summer. practice what i've found is totally practical about my house is that my fridge is just two steps away from step to the stove about one and a half back to the sofa for lazy people like me it's incredibly practical. so practice the tony house concept originated in the united states nearly a century ago people started building little houses on wheels to be more mobile now the tiny house movement has spread around the world its fans reduce their material needs to the minimum making a personal philosophy of efficient use of space in the tiny what i see is beneficial about the tiny house movement is that it creates a general awareness for the issues that are behind it those are in sustainabi

how concerning should the white house be? >> well, the first thing that the white house should be concerned about is that mr. mcsgan the lawyer f-- mcgahn is for the office of the presidency, and not donald trump personally, and so we of course believe he is telling the truth and his answers are in support of the country's presidency, and so it is possible that he is going to give information that provides the special pros ecuto with more about mr. trump's behavior. and mr. mcgahn may not have gone in to incriminate donald trump, because he was not with him through the campaign and he does not know every associate of donald trump's. >> and it is interesting that giuliani would say that it is his belief that don mcgahn would be a strong witness for the president. >> fred, fred, i have to say that during the watergate period, the white house, and this is the richard nixon white house made the same claim, because what is the al tern tte? you can't have giuliani going forward to say, we are worried, even if they are, they can't s

housing. by cal trans, myself and the legislature, appropriating $10 million for two navigation centers, working together with mayor breed, with mayor lee, with supervisor ronen and the city family to really solve this issue, we have moved one step closer. and other people are taking notice. because navigation centers aren't just happening here in san francisco. they're happening in santa rosa. they're happening in seattle and happening in austin. because it is not about housing. it's about people. it's about making sure that people are getting help with their addictions. with their mental health. s with helping with their job training. it's all about how we are assisting each individual, each one of those 7500 people that have families. they come from somewhere. they are going somewhere. and this city and this state is not going to let them fail. so w that, again, i want to thank mayor breed for her leadership on this issue. so excited to see this navigation center up and running. i want to t

same house, same call? all right. ordinance passes. madam clerk, item 33. [agenda item read] >> president cohen: thank you. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you chair, president cohen. i spoke with supervisor tang and as it was noted in the beginning, she wasn't able to join us today, was excused. she would like us to continue both of these items to the following week. >> president cohen: all right. supervisor satisfy has made a motion. is there a second? seconded by supervisor ronen. we will continue this for -- is it one week's time. >> supervisor safai: yes, one week co week. >> president cohen: to july 31st, without objection. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: madam clerk, could you please call item 34. [agenda item read] >> president cohen: all right, colleagues. supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam president, colleagues. first of all, i would like to thank the cosponsors and my staff, lee hefner, and the members of the rules commission who sent this forward with a positiv

bush's eight years in the white house. as my democratic colleagues keep pointing out judge kavanaugh has described how his time as staff secretary was a formative experience for him. well, justice kagan said the same thing about her time as solicitor general but in the case of justice kagan the democrats refused to request for records.le on top of the undisputed relevance of solicitor general's material judge kagan, however, backed by judicial record. in other words, unlike the more than 300 opinions that judge kavanaugh altered and the hundreds more opinions he joined in his 12 years of service on the dc circuit justice kagan had zero judicial opinions that she offered, zero judicial opinions that she joined and zero years of judicial service. her solicitor general documents for their for even more relevant democratic leaders are rewriting the kagan standard to further their stalling tactics. the minority leader also tried to draw a parallel or parallels with the request for documents from justice sotomayor's time as a bo

it's legal, safe and rent controlled housing to the housing stock and it will house my large multi-generational family of seven adults and three children, and a.d.u., rental income to support us in this extremely high cost of living city. i want to put emphasis on this growing family, my wife is out numbered by our three boys, the oldest is five years old. so, she hopes to have a girl in the future. i understand this will be a large house because we have a large family. seven adults. my in-law, my parents, my unmarried sister, me and my wife, and my three boys and hopefully a future girl. so, it will be a large house. but there is precedence. facing west, in one block, three houses with vertical additions. this does not include houses on the block north of us, south of us, nor east of us. so, there is precedence for large houses. and my neighbor on the south, mr. lewis, his house has a horizontal addition that touches the side lot line shared with me. i am merely mirroring his house in the rear, not longer, not taller, the same. on the third floor in consideration of the shadows to the neighbor

white house, the sudden fear if you were wearing a wire in the white house. it's very similar and a parallel to that. it obviously puts the fear of god in people to think there's a bunch of tapes out there. they all had contact with omarosa at one time or another. a lot of them met in rooms less secure than situation room. michael cohen is closer to potential crimes that the president, the president's family, people around the president may have committed. and in the end those crimes may be more consequential. but there's no doubt that the pompous stuffed shirts among us in the same way people normalize stormy daniels and michael avenatti and said it's a porn star and some chief hustling lawyer from l.a., it turned out that the porp star was more relatable, and the lawyer -- he plays the game the way donald trump does. that's what's triggered trump so much is that he look at these people, they get the modern dynamics of media. i'm not sure she understands how to sell books, but she does know the power of tapes. >> and the new wire is an iphone. the social clu

take over the house. they hope that doesn't happen, but you have to prepare. my sources tell me that flood is a white shoe lawyer will be ready. will be able to mount a defense of the presidency. trying to mount a defense for the president should that scenario happen. he has built a rapport with the president. it's not clear an offer has been made yet. mcgahn brought him in, a lot of people don't want to come into this white house as lawyers. flood was convinced maybe he could be white house counsel. >> the circumstances around the special council are complicated. what does your reporting indicate? >> the president's torn, talking to a few white house officials today, he knows mcgahn listened to john dowd and ty cobb who urged cooperation, he didn't want to cooperate, of course he did cooperate, sad for those 30 hours, he's someone who should have exerted executive privilege months ago. he ended up sitting with mueller, anyone connected to the mueller probe. you're at risk of getting the president's ire.

bush white house. this meeting from the judiciary committee is 40 minutes. >> before we turn to today's his agenda, i would like to briefly speak on the supreme court nomination. i mentioned last week that judge kavanaugh's confirmation hearing will begin september 4. senators will have had by then 57 days between the announcement of judge kavanaugh's nomination, and the start of the hearing. this is a longer time than we had four justices kagan and gorsuch. is how, this is example thatother this is the most transparent confirmation process of all time . in the 12 years on the d c circuit, judge kavanaugh-ish -- kavanaugh issued and hundreds more. as senator schumer and way he at the justice's confirmation hearing, in nominee's judicial record is the best way to evaluate a nominee. also submitted more than 17,000 pages with his bipartisan judicial committee questionnaire, and that happens to be the most robust questionnaire given to a nominee. received to enter 50,000 pages of documents from judge kava

in house. so, concluding on the budget focused area, no change is warranted to the annual budget unless the board wishes more discussion or description on specific line items. and then probably lower priority but may make stones evaluate cost and benefits of bringing i.t. and general counsel in house as well as hiring for the engineer position that has been vacant for a couple of years now. also related to communicating budget information with more specific to prop-k, there are improvements that could be made in terms of conveying information that is available on the t.a.'s website and in various documents to sponsor finance staff to help in their own budgeting and planning. it appears that there is currently a disconnect between prop-k budget data that the t.a. main atlantas and what sponsors are aware of. the holding round tables on a regular basis to discuss your five-year priorization programs and strategic plan updates as well as any other funding needs should help improve lines of communi
