i believe we need to take some step nz that. -- steps in that. i talk to some people in the yimby unit, and they say well, that's 5%. we need to address what we've -- just like the entitlements, we need to address what we already have before we keep trying to take on more. you know, what is the reason why units are sitting vacant? >> supervisor safai: i have a question for commissioner moore, yes, please. thank you, commissioner, you might want to pull the microphone down. so i appreciated the conversation we had the other day, and i was appreciative of all of your international experience that you bring as well as all the work that you've done in san francisco. so i first want to say i think that perspective is very important. so one of the questions that i have is this is me as a city planner in the work that i've done here locally in a number of different positions. what do you think are some of the biggest missed opportunities over the last 20 years from the perspective of planning in our city? i'll start. not to catch you off guard, i think t

i tend to balance out the needs and am collaborative, but when i believe in something, i stay firm to that. a couple of things that happened recently, we have a historic resource in the gay and lesbian community that was going to be demolished and worked to delaying the certification or the e.i.r. and we got word from the sponsor that he will add more units. so that's a win there. so it's an example of being collaborative and firm, so a win for everyone. when i got into the planning commission, we would talk on things and we didn't know if anything would happen. but learning from tech, the action item list. i have in my hand, it's four years old, we have a lot of items on it. i've contributed a lot to it. we have some larger policy initiatives that will come out of that. during the hearing, people were talking about housing stabilization. i want to know from a radius of the 5m project, where they're stabilized. they produced a map for me. out of that, came the capacity of -- understanding the capacity of zoning of 141,000 units. subsequent to that, housing affordability study that was

i believe this is all about matchups. i would propose hillary clinton would have been likely anyone else in the republican primary other than donald trump. just so happens it was not a good matchup at the time for her. it is all about the matchup. if the democratic party proceeds to nominate the person who would be the best president that will be a mistake. we had that individual in 2016. hillary rodham clinton without a doubt in my mind was the most qualified individual to ever run for the white house in the history of our nation. think about that. that is an incredible statement that also happens to be true. unfortunately she couldn't beat donald trump in the electoral college. all the experience in the world, all the qualifications in the world, all the policy positions in the world don't mean anything if you can't beat donald trump in the general election. >> what makes you think donald trump will run again? >> i think those chances are significant. i said in the past he won't serve the balance of his term. i maintain

i don't believe that this is a universal benefit. act, i think that it will have a negative impact. i think that by limiting commercial retail spaces we will be contributing to the driving, the driving -- driving up the leases of prices for property and i believe that this is not equity, and unfortunately, i'm not going to be able to support it today. i see brown next on the roster. >> as the sponsor, i believe it is my right to speak next. >> president cohen: supervisor brown, would you mind if i let supervisor peskin speak? >> supervisor peskin: first i would like to rise to a point of procedure which is that it is the tradition of this body that when the president advocates for or against a particular item that he or she step down and have somebody conduct the meeting. i want to put that on the record. i am somewhat taken aback, it is an apples to oranges comparison, but let's start with the concept of geographic equity. i will move on to other concepts of equity that i think are profoundly important in the conversation around acce

i believe we can. we'll come back and talk about this because the need to improve every piece of the portfolio to include the international, the global and the emerging, that need does not go away. the opportunity is not going to go away. can we do better? >> well, under perfect circumstances if we would have been fully staffed, we could have brought the information earlier, if that's what you mean by improving the process, but once you issue an r.f.p., you know, you have to follow the very specific rules so set out by the city. [inaudible] >> -- joe, and you, jay, are correct. i think there's always room for improving the outcomes in the r.f.p., and that has to do with the predevelopment of what that r.f.p. looks like, different metrics and so forth of different people that are going to be bidding. but like jay is saying, once you get into that, then you have certain restrictions around bidding and certain things that you cannot do based on our city's laws. so yes, there are ways to improve the potent

i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the footage i could not believe it i could not. believe that it was possible that my girls could come back home she doesn't let me go anywhere. joining us you're watching r.t. international. washington has announced the first round of sanctions against iran which it hopes will weaken the country's leadership president trump since threatened severe consequences for those who continue to trade with iran still not everyone seems to be on board and my colleague andrew farmer got details from r.t. samir khan and peter oliver. the first round of sanctions will take effect tuesday around midnight and from that moment on sanctions will prohibit iran from trading gold and other precious metals and fails of iranian automobiles will also be banned now the first round of sanctions will also ban iran's access to the u.s. dollar and place restrictions on its own currency but the worst is yet to come more sanctions are due to hit iran in november and those are specifically tailored to bring iran's oil exports to zero now this should come as no s

i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the footage i could not believe it i could not believe that it was possible that my girls could come back home she doesn't let me go anywhere. thanks for joining us you're watching r.t. internet. washington has announced the first round of sanctions against iran which it hopes will weaken the country's leadership president trump since threatened severe consequences for those who continue to trade with iran still not everyone seems to be on board early my colleague got details from r.t. samir khan and peter all of. the first round of sanctions will take effect tuesday around midnight and from that moment on sanctions will prohibit iran from trading gold and other precious metals and fails of iranian automobiles will also be banned now the first round of sanctions will also ban iran's access to the u.s. dollar and place restrictions on its own currency but the worst is yet to come more sanctions are due to hit iran in november and those are specifically tailored to bring iran's oil exports to zero this should come as no surprise giv

>> i went because i believe i was sent. that my faith -- >> did you have to go to the white house? could you have done a conference call? could you have been on, you know, via television or camera or could you have teleconference? or could you have maybe there could have been a place other than the white house where you can discuss this? did you -- the thing is that sitting there, all of these african americans sitting there, it is being seen as the president of the united states, this administration has proposed policies that are so detrimental to african americans that they are using you as a prop and using you -- hang on. they are using you as a prop and it is a photo op. >> the photo op doesn't work. it backfires. the moment i'm on that platform, whatever they were hoping to accomplish with their intended audience back fires because they don't have credibility in that market in the first place with those people. for me, the answer is very simple. i went through every detail, why would i go. what could i possibly gain, w

time that you invited to this military is one of the most multicultural organizations on earth and i believe that's true but i think that there is still space within the military for white supremacists ideology and organizations to give purchase and that that is certainly a huge concern that needs to be addressed so i was going through another survey by national public radio and did you ever know that five fifty five percent of white people in america think that whites face racial prejudice i mean you have lost your temper with people of different skin color but have you ever felt racial prejudice yourself towards you. i think what we're seeing in the united states with like the survey that you cited is that as demographic changes the world changes change is an inevitable thing obviously people are going to hearken back to a time when white people had like blatant power and those days are past and they're never going to return white people will be a minority in the united states within a few decades and we've been a minority on the is the earth for many many years and this is the trend is go

and i wanted to and i believe tony wanted me to. nough for me. >> you know i did. >> that's enough for me. and i want to be engaged in the conversation around, you know, equality and people, you know, equal opportunity within the arts. that's what i think the conversation is really about, how one's sexual preferences -- to get to the point where one's sexual preferences don't affect one's standing in any career whatsoever, in any industry. that's where we're all -- anyone with a heart and without the ignorance of whatever, we're going to go into that. but that's where we're all longing to head, i believe. but i'm very curious and i want to be involved this that discussion. >> did you ever have a second thought about that? obviously there were many fewer out actors when you first put this play on. >> i have to say i'm not as polite about this as andrew. >> i'm gay and i feel like i'm older so it's okay for me to be grumpy about it. i agree with andrew the discussion is important. and i don't denigrate the people that are having the di

i believe he was testing to see if i would go further.ermeen: could you talk about the issue of the statute of limitations and what that means for survivors like yourself? >> when i was a child and i was faced with this, my statutes of limitation only permitted me to talk and press charges until i was 15 years old. i had two years past the end of the last assault. so i was not legally old enough to drive a car in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, yet i had to come forward and tell my parents and the community that the guy they bowl with every thursday night is raping the kids. amy: josh shapiro emphasized how the catholic church delayed taking action on reports of priests engaged in sexual abuse in order to prevent criminal charges from being filed. -- denyattern was abuse and cover up. it not only victimized children, it served a legal purpose that church officials manipulated for their advantage. the longer they covered it up, the less chance law enforcement could prosecute these predators because e the statute of limitatitions would ru

i believe we're past the point of no return ironies of the rush the animists and has still. towards russia i don't think we're coming back donald trump as you said all of the media attention was on his very badly stated positions at the helsinki but actually what they talked about was syria and de confliction they talked about the possibility of improving the start treaty the start treaty was signed in one thousand nine hundred one it said the united states which has seven thousand operational nuclear weapons all of which of just a few of which could destroy the entire world and russia which has a similar number that they should be reduced down to one thousand five hundred fifty and then a more that's a requirement also an affirmative obligation on from the nuclear nonproliferation treaty on all nuclear powers they talked about that that was not covered as you're saying peter that's a big issue the danger of nuclear war even an accidental nuclear war the catastrophic consequences are so profound why don't we talk about that talk about meddling in the in the future of the worl

you know that they're destined to be so i think i mean i believe there's a lot of interest i think we should be partners. however i believe it you know as eric hobbs pointed out you know the hatred of russia is is in the d.n.a. of the american people and by genetics but as it was put there by people who. found a reason to vilify russia but it does appear that you know the powers that be in this country will continue to stoke the flames of the entire russia. in the interest of war which will make it very difficult hers and i think you know brian and i've heard repeatedly. the russian meddling again whatever that means is akin to pearl harbor what if the united states there was a reaction to the attack on pearl harbor it can be completely mobilized its economy and fought a very hard very bloody war and justified in my opinion ok but what kind of rhetoric is this now you know then well then what should the u.s. do and i'm and then you know all of us on this program know the very importance of arms control agreements i know it's not really sexy for amisom b.c. and c.n.n. debate i

i believe that is it. when you say we are sending it back. what other concrete things do you want done? i was looking at homes in palm springs on recess. homes have bathrooms with two doors. we hate these, we hate these. you have to wait for the other person. we would rather have other own bathroom. it is a preference. jack and jill bathrooms. anything else you would add that we can tell staff, you know, do x, y, z while it is being sent back in. >> what i would tell staff is do what we are talking about here before the project comes to us because the shortcomings of the adu were apparent to you because you called them out before we started. that goes to questions about the completeness of the submittal. those are my comments. i am not going to add any further design suggestions. >> shall i call the question. motion and seconded to take dr and approve the project as amended by the commission eliminating the third floor roof deck. >> there there two. >> the front third floor roof deck, have the sponsor continue working with staff on the adu for

i believe that about cancer, i also believe that about this. that is a discussion for another time. i want to stress to this commission that this document is not a mandate to do -- to create a stress unit. that stress unit currently exists. this is a planning document. this is a document that the only mandate here is that the chief look into what it is that would be the definition of a perfect peer support unit. it's a support unit. what does a perfect peer support unit look like what resources would be required for sump a unit and how does that unit break down in functionality on day-to-day basis. members of the other departments other stress units, members of cal chief over the last couple of years recognized this as an issue that is very important emerging issue within their departments. they have started to tackle this issue as well. some of the materials a were called together to make that resolution or both from legislation that the state currently looking at. but also other existing stress units. some of the element of those stress units are also in here as thing the chief sho

i subscribe though i believe you do i swear i said most i believe that there is a bubble there we on the right are far more familiar with the left wing views the left wing people are familiar with i don't know that i know that every every every single i know what the left wing thing out of course i know what the left so you know you know what the left wing think i know the right wing things then yes it's your job to know that correct i believe you do i believe that the average reader of the new york times has not read a wall street journal editorial in his life and the readers of the wall street journal do what do they do i think that they are far more familiar with what the word you can't not be familiar with the world of if you went to school and almost any school from elementary to college you know what the left thinks i know in the wall street journal i did and i very pro union you are in the style chick for a time when the unions did you damn right ok i didn't resent that communism in america you're right they did you know what i want to comment on that. that that's when liberali

starting, i believe, with our working groups, and i believe supervisor tang has introduced this through some of her a.d.u. legislation, there is the idea of inviting planning to these meetings. >> supervisor safai: so i'm sorry. i don't meant to interrupt you, but what i heard was the fire marshal say they're brought in late sometimes to the conversation, and that seems different than what you are talking about. >> what i was talking about was inviting planning to the meeting between d.b.i. and fire so these three agencies would be together at the outset before filing. >> supervisor safai: that -- >> that's part of the legislation, yes. >> supervisor safai: so that's what i was going to say, because it doesn't sound like it's still happening yet. >> that is an ongoing conversation happening, developing a screening process as well as inviting planning into the d.b.i. procedure. >> supervisor safai: well, it sounds like it's now going to be required when we finalize this at the board, so it sounds like you have a system in place ready to go. >> we are currently working on the final touche

i'm thinking it's going to be close in texas because i believe those people no longer, but i believe them. so it's 8:00 and they go two seconds after eight. donald trump has won the state of texas. donald trump has won the state of utah. now we won by so much and i said to my people somewhat innocently, what was that all about? they said if they convince people through the polls people

not that i believe her or don't believe her.t does not matter if she brings this book out or not because if you listen to the callers on trump supporters, they could not care less if he called a person of color the and word. what do they care? thingsme up with these as she is treasonous and this and that and it does not matter to trump supporters. she can make her book and get millions and move on. host: how much faith you put in the claims? because she is saying it and from her perspective as an insider? anler: let's say she is insider, but she was an insider and ignored it for these 14 years she has been around him, so why now? does it really matter at this point? whattter what we say or omarosa says, trump supporters will still support him 100%. joshuae will hear from tree, california, independent line. caller: yes, you know trump was going to talk this morning but there was an outcry on so much publicity on it. it's the worst thing that happened our planet because now the guys fighting warming are causing unheard of climate

>> i believe it is possible. i think the goal of these operations over the long-term is to condition the public and to reap the network so to speak the lady can use to move any sort of story. remember a key feature propaganda is, if you're running a propaganda outfit most of what you publish is factual. so that you are taken seriously and then you can slip in the wrong thing at exactly the right time. i believe that is what did then, is called a set of sources as authoritative with content that's often just about kim kardashian. those people become credible they become cited in the media and at that point they can start to anything they want through it. >> is it the individuals that contribute to that theme that's on a social media platform, in many cases americans responding, that gives it credibility, and are they knowing or unknowing as to what their participating in? >> certainly i agree that there is no borders on social media, no borders on media today. so certainly content that is to assume if i once was co

i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the footage i could not believe it i could not believe that it was possible that my goes could come back home she doesn't let me go anyway. plans to create a military force in space for the pentagon less than enthusiastic about a possible star wars program or indeed about some of his other plans for the military. also deadly chemicals one. a british citizen sues the us army over exposure to a toxic substance working at an american military base in germany. under program one r.t. international we come to you live from moscow was just after one pm here in the russian. it has been one year since we first reported on a russian speaking children found in an iraqi orphanage following the brutal military operation there against islamic state after the report was ed we launched a campaign to find relatives of those children and several people reached out to us saying that they recognized some of them now this allowed those orphans to reconnect with their families years after their parents left with them to join eisel our correspondent wit

let me tell you what i believe. i believe in nelson mandela's vision. i believe in a vision shared by gandhi and king and abraham lincoln. i believe in a vision of equality and justice and freedom and multi-racial democracy, built on the premise that all people are created equal, and they're endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. and i believe that a world governed by such principles is possible and that it can achieve more peace and more cooperation in pursuit of a common good. that's what i believe. and i believe we have no choice but to move forward, that those of us who believe in democracy and civil rights and a common humanity have a better story to tell. and i believe this not just based on sentiment, i believe it based on hard evidence. the fact that the world's most prosperous and successful societies, the ones with the highest living standards and the highest levels of satisfaction among their people, happen to be those which have most closely approximated the liberal, progressive ideal that we talk about and have nurtured the

what i say and i believe my country can be better i believe in donald trump but i believe japan russia and america are going to be the three leaders that fight back against the globalist so that's my kind of part of my infusion of putin here as well you mention the silencing of dissenting view yeah i totally hear your i personally have been looked into by a couple of times but i would at least agree with you that there is a political censorship or a liberal political censorship going on in a number of western countries but when i hear certain views again and postulating that children could be mistreated because of that names that's that's that's not that is not a fair summary of what i've said i don't want people know that it's not a fair summary of what i said i said i would invite certain children to my house that they have no you know there's no mystery. i don't know how you are feeling rejected filling rejection is a pretty painful for a child i can tell you from my own experience i'm pretty sure you had that experience yourself in your life so when you say that certain chil

i like to believe that, i do believe that. you also have the tuskegee experiment, a lot of experiments done to african- american populations saying categorically it is untrue is hard to say, it does not make sense but, it is a awkward disease for various reasons. i think that the fact i am actually talking about the logistics is i have already lost the moral argument that it is impossible it could not have happened. new orleans was purposely destroyed after hurricane katrina to flood the ninth ward and sections of the city. these are not exclusively held by african-americans, but on them -- among them are conspiracy theories directly because of the african-american experience. those in the gay community could see aids as a plan to get rid of homosexuals, it is possible you can use different pieces for different conspiracies, this is not plaguing middle-class america though. this is race and predisposition among white people, low is 36% high is 30. and medium is about 35. 20% for the low. few were on the low end, more on the hi

do believe it was rigged. i don't believe it was efforts. and if you listen to all of our mainstream intelligence people, they believe it too. >> they don't believe votes were changed. >> well, i do believe that there were exact -- well, you know the facts, right? >> yes. >> you know the facts. what do i think? did they come in there and make trump win when every single exit poll and every person in america knew for sure that hillary clinton was going to win? do you think there was anything to do with russia or just a real big swirl for donald trump in these specific areas with the same exact amount of votes that were needed? i don't know. it looks very hinky to me. >> here's why i ask you about what this is about because let's say you win. let's say the democrats win. you get the house. probably not the senate, but you get the house. there's a call for impeachment among progressives like yourself. >> yes. >> two things happen. >> well, i don't think it's just progressives, chris. there will be a call for impeachment from all those not heard

camps in their homeland seemed young and i for greed to come to you know on to this show because i believe that facing a situation like that the community of china scholars cannot remain silent to answer your question directly i don't think that any of these measures are justifiable the kind of response we've just heard from andrew is indefensible because of course you know separatist movements exist in various countries but then never it existence of dissent never justifies such draconian measures. because what we're seeing in mainland china is basically implementation of a highly racist policy aimed squarely at an ethnic group where anyone regardless of his or her political or religious views can be swept up in these and turman camps and that has huge problem it's something that we need to talk about because it's unacceptable. adrian are we talking here about a push by the chinese government to contain the whys of what it is quiet as extremism or a planned attempt by the government to change the identity of an entire people well from the chinese perspective it is probably both both are b

i believe in this agency, i believe in its mission, i believe in its personnel. i would like to take a minute to talk about my fellow epa employees. i know how dedicated and passionate they are and it is a privilege to work alongside them -- sen. barrasso: if i could have the witness suspend and ask the officers to remove the disturbance. sen. barrasso: apologize for the delay. mr. wheeler: quite alright. i would like to take a minute to talk about my fellow employees. i know how dedicated and passionate they are, and it is a privilege to work alongside them. i told them my instinct will be to defend their work and i will seek the facts from them before drawing conclusions. we exist to serve the public. we should conduct our business in a manner fully deserving of the public's trust and confidence. earlier this week i issued my own fishbowl memo which lays out the principles and protocols that will guide our efforts to be transparent, open, and accountable to the american public. our success as an agency depends on it. thank you, and i look forward to answering y

i don't believe i got any notification that the items weren't going to be here, so it looks like these are on separate tracks. i believe that there may be cumulative impacts of these traffic changes, though it may seem minor. may be cumulative impacts between the changes east of octavia. and for that matter, proposed traffic signal at haight and buchanan. so i will consider weather to file a ceqa appeal on these matters. it would be great in the future when people show up at the friday engineering hearings exhibit with the poem's strategy discussed a month ago that we follow up with them, however they sign in and communicate with the agencies and whether they're going to the board on a date certain or being reviewed by staff and reconsidered to close the loop. if we made a commitment to public outreach, we need to be consistent on that. >> chairman brinkman: thank you. can i have a motion? all in favor? aye. lets have 10.2. >> clerk: environment review findings, travel and approve parking and traffic modifications with fillmore, someoney transit corridor. this was severed. >> on this i

i honestly believe, and i believe you do to come that we are living in a movement moment, with people organizing, mobilizing, in unprecedented ways. communities of color, rising up to fight racial and economic injustice. thousands have taken to the street to protest the separation of their children. there was a women's march, the march for our lives, the teacher walks out in the reddest of states, a movement moment. and when we have that moment, we can win if we are together. these are one off events. they have grown into sustained movements for change. exactly the kind of change of party represents. i want to be honest with you, many of these activists do not see political parties as vehicles for change, for progress. and we needed to connect with them. we need to tap into their energy. we need to make sure they are seen and heard. we need to toss out the welcome mat and invite them into the house to walk with us, to walk door to door with us, convincing them that our party is their natural home, all of us need to do that. that with thedo status quo. cannot do that as long as they be

i believe in standing up for the children at risk. i stand up for special needs return and why teachers. i would not be here today if it wasn't for my teachers to find coverage so i could leave the classroom. i have five teachers when i need 12. i am here too speak to teachers and families and children. there can be no higher education without education. 0 to 3 is important. trauma can change that. that is why we do a lot of social work. i am a voice for the teachers. i have gotten the introverts to speak up. my staff is committed and very stretched. we believe in social justice, equity. i believe in my heart it is the right of every child regardless of background to have quality care and education. i believe as member it is great to see how funds are tightened up and used for prop c and to make sure there are outcomes for children. i have seen wasted fund was no outcome in the past. i am considered a voice from the floor, not the tower. when i started teaching i work understand one of the top programs in the city. i was excited until
