i know the criteria they have. i'm sure they want highly educated workforce and what of lots of other amenities and things in the area that would attract people. west virginia has a lot of those things as well. i think communities like that should be in the running. i don't know what the exact criteria are. i did hear recently amazon sent out to some of the city still in the running a list of things they didn't like about the places and apparently they maybe want them to fix. i'm not sure i do that. i don't know what the issues were but it's extraordinary when a a company, one company has that much power edge of all these communities clamoring for the jobs and through all this money at them. it's really extraordinary. >> host: jeff basis as a part-time washingtonian as owner of the "washington post." have you met him? >> guest: no. when amazon first word out in the book basis, out of his garage in the mid-1990s, and the fact 20 some odd years he spoke this enormous company. it's quite an achievement, and, but it's a

i have not spoken to her personally. i know she earlier on had crafted policies when she was a member of the board of supervisors. i believe in sanctuary policy because we are less safe when people don't feel like they can come out and report when they are victims of crime. i don't believe that the policy was to harbour people who have felonies and in particular, violent felonies. >> you would believe with angela's position? >> if it is narrowly tailored, yes. >> thanyou why. i have no other questions. >> supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you. have you, yourself, had implicit bias training and how do you feel about bringing that to the police department? >> yes, we have called it unconscious bias training. i go through a lot of training as a state employee, estate attorney as well as a commissioner. and i am proud that i scored well on it not having a lot of bias. i think everyone carries some bias based on personal experiences, and i believe that, just as we had the family violence in that school district

i have two family members that have autism. i am from new jersey.it is my understanding that new jersey has the highest rate of autism and also has the highest number of mandated vaccines, so i am wondering if you could speak about the connection between the vaccines and also mention, if they could talk about the vaccine court that was set up to protect the pharmaceutical companies. host: we kind of addressed vaccine issue already. i do not know if you have any expertise. guest: vaccine courts have existed for a long time. there are very occasionally injuries as a result of vaccines that do not resemble autism. it is usually recognized a person had autism prior to the vaccine. host: you spoke before a united nations group on autism. what was your message? guest: do you any was specifically about ways to increase acceptance and inclusion of autistic women and girls. i think, women and girls are overlooked as we might look different or express our autism differently. we focused a lot -- or i focused a lot, on the high rates of violence experienced by

i have worked alongside you as a member of congress when i traveled. i have had the chance to watch when i was traveling around the world and i would go into an embassy and i would arrive late at night and there were the folks in the political section or economic section doing great work on behalf of america. i have a great deal to learn about the state department and how we perform our mission. but as people, i am confident i know who you are. i know you came here, you chose to be a foreign service officer or a civil servant or work here in many other capacities and to do so because you are patriots and great americans and because you want to be an important part of america's face to the world. my mission will be to lead you and allow you to do that, the very thing you came here to do.

school and college, i don't have a ph.d.. i'm not a scientist, i'm not a doctor. i do have a little bit of legalese but that's just enough to get me in trouble, and just maybe, i can get out if i remember to call bradley in time to say i'm about to get in trouble so don't go nowhere bradley. you know, he has to be there to make sure i don't get in trouble because i get angry. i get mad when i see a three and four-year-old child suffering from asthma and cancer. is that by design for our community? i get angry when my grandson would come home from school up on top of that hill and have all of this gunk in his eyebrows and eye lashes. he just happened to have some of the best eyebrows and eye lashes i have of seen for a guy. what i'm saying is there were some beautiful children that went to school up there when roman was doing. when they were doing the heavy grading, and somebody said in a hearing, oh, well, the community decided that the alarms that are going off, well, they would be discounted. what community members did that?

i have several authors i follow that i have read. they all seem to become predictable. ctable. and i love your books. i love reading your books. and when i travel, you are always, always on. thank you so much. >> i appreciate it. i work very hard not to be predictable. i think i might learn different series and i tried to get out of my comfort zone. i tried to write every book, is my first novel and i've no idea what i am doing but that gives me the edge that you know, fear is a great antidote to complacency. once a writer figures out what they're doing i think they should go and do something else. >> host: and from facebook we have two questions. one thing i love vega jane and venomous as ever the series and it became a series. when a releasing book number four? these are young adults. is it difficult for you to write so much adult fiction to do young adult books? >> guest: finisher took me five years to write. and i just could not get what i wanted to write in my mind. i love fantasy, reading it. and again, it was like you have to keep reinventing herself as a writer.

i have no idea why. y youngest was about to graduate from high school, we have five kids, so my wife decided we need to move to a bigger house. [laughing] because, we were going to do this when i was director. the idea is we have to have a place where each of them and their significant other can stay, and room for the grandchildren and a ping-pong table. we have to attract them all. we don't have any grandchildren by the way. [laughing] but my wife is a a planner so e idea is we will become an attractant to our big family and we've got to do it now because if we try to fix it later -- you get the story. [laughing] >> penultimate question. 30 seconds for two questions. another question from sally quinn. the first one, the headline of your obituary for your epitaph? how do you want to be remembered, is probably a nicer way. [laughing] >> i actually don't care about this stuff in my epitaph. if you know me you know i mean this. i want to be a great father, a great husband, a great grandfather, and a good fri

while i have tremendous respect for ms. gilman, supervisor katz, the former incumbent, for reasons that still remain unclear was not given an opportunity to be reappointmented. and i know within our community we are extremely disappointed. there is only one l.g.b.t. port commissioner in california and you know, for us as a community, there's always this assumption that we have kind of made it. but anyone who knows the history of the l.g.b.t. community knows whenever we make gains we lose those gains. it's never been our climb up the ladder has had, we have fallen back many times. and i note when supervisor katz was on the board, there were three l.g.b.t. supervisors, now there's one. so we are very sensitive to representation to our ability to participate fully in the civic life in san francisco. it's important to us as a community. and to see that moving backwards is just very, very difficult for us. we have an individual who was elected to the college board citywide, was elected supervisor, citywide. is an iconic figure. o

i have to stay afloat. i have to stay alive, here. >> so that's it for now, right? at's your final decision? >> you guys have to go. sorry. >> you know what, man? forget about you, all right? >> is this you changing your way of doing business? >> i'm changing everything. i'm doing a 180. >> it's your business. you gotta do what you gotta do. >> it's hard to cut ties with people you've done business with for years. but in order for this business to survive and make real money, the middlemen, the wholesalers, have to go. [engine roars] today i'm taking andrew to the recording studio to make this commercial. i am really excited. so, andrew, you ready for this? >> i am ready. >> did you write the spot? >> absolutely. >> let me see it. what i'm really proud of is that andrew did a good job preparing for this. he wrote out the script. he timed it. he put a lot of thought into the words. i'm--i'm thinking he's gonna do a great job. oh, hey, doug. >> hey. >> good seeing you. >> how's everything? >> here's andrew. >> andrew. >> hi, i'm andrew. >> pleasure to meet you. >> why

i don't think we have any opening statements. >> mr. chairman safai, vice chairman yee, commissioner stefani, my name is sonia melara. i would like to give you highlights of my work in the last almost four years. friends have asked me why would you want to do this again. my response has been i have been a part of probably some of the most difficult times in the history of the police commission, the department and the city. however, i would not change it for anything as the changes that have taken place are just being implemented and i want to see them bear fruit. with dr. marshal who is also here today, we are the two non-lawyers on the commission who bring a different community perspective to this body. when i asked mayor lee why he would want me on the commission he pointed to my background as he had known me for many years. i have worn many hats in my life but i will outline just a few. i'm here as a former small business person, a social worker, an immigrant, a woman and a resident of district 7. i bring this perspective to the commi

i have applied for a seat on the children and families first commission because i believe that i have life and work experiences that would further enhance the work that is already occurring in san francisco. as a native san franciscoian and as a daughter of ecuador an parents i am proud to call this city home. i have raised my son with the member of members from the community, local local, and the public school staff served me to guide them both becoming college ready and successful in the higher learning settings. this is my 33rd year as an educator in san francisco unified. i graduated from san francisco state and i have a k-8 teaching credential which is still active today. having been a spanish bilingual teacher for 20 years at my child's elementary school i bring a passion for linguistic rights to my early work in the early education department and the volunteer community work that i do in the mission district which is where i reside. while working with young children and families in our infant, toddler and prek side, i see a need to have quality assistance so that each child in

i have always been afraid to have children. idn't want to keep the parts of me, hurdling hunger, the shame but now i know there is no avoiding it. best i can do is teach them not to hear the dark. i tell her that i can be a friend, sister or stranger, whatever she needs and if she needs it a map. [applause] >> the stable to my 2002 book the vision to have. this is a little part from the introduction i wrote about how times changed from 2002 when the first book came out until this one came out. a little bit about marriage. i knew as i started to conceive of this book that my generation of women expects and demands more from marriage than ever before and in some cases perhaps more than is reasonable or possible. we raised bird, possibly killing it humanely with a spear by an american company for union employees. we want hot sex and unconditional love, two things that not only are symbiotic but of i met strictly posed since the beginning of time. where they love they have no desire says sigmund freud, where they desire they cannot

chair, i have no other questions. thank you very much, marilyn. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai: supervisor yee? supervisor stefani? while you're looking we had a good conversation, i asked you a blot of questions and i got a lot of good answers to those questions. what i want to hear you say something briefly about is the idea of officer recruitment from in the sfpd to hire from communities that are disproportionally effected by violent and what strategies would you have for that? >> i believe what we could do is have -- we have many non-profit organizations here in san francisco that serve various communities, marginalized communities. i believe that we can recruit -- help recruit through those non-profit organizations a deal daily with the most marginalized communities here. encourage them to apply and educate them about law enforcement careers. we could have out reach from the department going to different organization organizations, china town, community development, the native american health center and dental

i do not have the time to be very good. way i really do -- and people don't think this is funny, the other thing i do is boxing. david: boxing? ginni: that is something i can do in short spurts on an everyday basis. david: does somebody dress up like apple or microsoft and you do is boxing. get to box them, or you don't do that? [laughter] ginni: i do box with a person. the difference is he does not get to hit me. [laughter] david: oh. ginni: i only get to hit him. david: so as you look back on your career, when you are at northwestern, as you look back on it, what would you say is the secret of your having risen? ginni: i think it is this idea of being a constant learner, of always being willing to say to yourself you don't know everything and you can learn something, from whoever. david: so when you finally do leave, maybe many years from now, ibm, what would you like to see as your legacy? ginni: well, look, i think, not necessarily about me, about ibm. that, one more time, reinvented for the next era. uniquely positioned

i v i have views on this issue and i want to be clear. having served in that tumultuous time i can offer you my personal commitment clearly and without reservation that under my leadership, on my watch, cia will not restart a detention and interrogation program. cia has learned some tough lessons from that experience. we were asked to tackle a mission that fell outside our expertise. for me, there is no better example of implementing lessons learned than what the agency took away from that program. in retrospect, it is clear as the majority report concluded, that cia was not prepared to conduct a detention and interrogation program. today, the u.s. government has a clear, legal and policy framework that governs detentions and interrogations, specifically the law provides that no individual in u.s. custody may be subjected to any interrogation technique or approach that is not authorized by and listed in the army field manual. i fully support the detainee treatment required by law and just as importantly, i will keep cia focused on analysis

so i have to leave and go out 'cause i got scared. and since they started all the renovations, my son has been very sick. he has severe autism, and right now, he's under treatment for chronic lung inflammation -- [inaudible] >> supervisor sheehy: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. eric arguello, calle 24 district. we've seen buildings flipped, 10,000 residents displaced, 8,000 latinos. another components are the kpeshl spaces. we've seen 2 to 300% increases in these spaces. we're dealing with one at 25 and mission where we have 11 spaces with looking at large increases plus 20 units above, so there's something that we need to do with these landlords. we need to make sure that there's stronger protections for the residents and of course fore the commercial spaces, also. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm peter warfield. the owner of my building is 275 grant street apartments, l.l.c., and for the first time in my life, i don't know the people that own the property that i live in. i understand

i have to be on guard. stressful at times, but i've gotten so used to it, it becomes natural for me to put on a different persona to act out the charade, i guess. >> some jails immediately isolate those like sutherland where they have no contact with other inmates. that's not the policy at kent county. >> sex offenders are housed on an individual basis. their interviewed and determineding on how the classification officers feel how they would do in certain areas they put them there. when they go in general population, there is no specific housing area that segregates them. >> we are going to set our expectation s to other inmates out there, you're going to live with this guy and you're not going to torment him and make life difficult for that person. if you do, we will deal with you. and this guy is going to stay and you're going to be the one that ends up in segregation. >> and now there has been an incident involving sutherland and another inmate. but in this case sutherland's not the victim. >>> coming up

i don't like that. so we have a very powerful hand on trade. and when i'm thinking about trade, you know, i read you folks, and you say, well, why doesn't he, there's a much bigger picture that i have in mind. trade has always been a very important element in my life, in talking about other countries ripping off the united states. i've been watching them do it for 35 years. i've been watching them do that for so many years. and nothing has changed, other than over the last 15, 20 years it's gotten worse. and it's not just china. but when i think of trade with china, i'm also thinking about what they're doing to help us with peace with north korea. that's a very important element. so we'll see how it all works out. but in the end, it will work out. can't tell you exactly how or why, but it always does. it's going to work out. okay? thank you all. john, you have one more? go ahead. >> one more, sir. i'm just wondering, what is your vision for the long game with north korea? is it two koreas peacefully coexisting? or would you like to see reunifica

hope that i have it. and i hope that i like it, because there is something also about being in ferguson, scrappy with a notebook and being able to kind of one story that i broke was that darren wilson wasn't gonna be indicted for the killing of michael brown. i didn't have a camera with me. i had my notebook, and i was sitting next to michael brown's mother and her lawyer in a room. that's a completely different thing than if i had asked them maybe to say, can i have my whole camera crew in your hotel room. they might have said yes or no. or they might say yes because i've learned to have those skills. but i'm gonna see what that difference is. - and that actually gets to another point about how journalism is different. the fact is that in the old days, you would have been the reporter with a notebook in a room. today, you're a reporter with a notebook, you're a reporter with a camera crew or with your own device, recording something. you're on social media. you're having to live across a whole lotta diffe

and i have to give you a lot of credit. t, as i dug into the business, i essentially realized that the real asset in that deal was the people. nicolas ended up really becoming a trusted partner, and he's grown a lot as an individual. and stephanie -- she's blossomed like no other person i've seen. there you go, enjoy everything. thank you. so, here's how things have transformed. courage b doesn't exist anymore in name. i converted all five stores into other brands. what does exist is a fashion holding company called ml fashion, which consists of all the other fashion brands i've invested in throughout "the profit," like susana monaco, siloett, flex watches, inkkas. we have seven brands and 29 stores. most have done pretty well. only one hasn't worked out -- siloett. but overall, business is doing fantastic. and you know who runs it? stephanie. i'm proud of you. thank you. and nicolas is actually now helping run gander outdoors, which is a business i acquired out of bankruptcy. and he still has equity in ml fashion. what's ir

i got two aas and wha two bas ai have a masters. i am here to tell you, i'm not going to throw out words that we have been talking about equity. or in equity or social justice. because we've been talking about that too much. i want to see it actually happen. i'm not going to mention the fact that malcolm x was supposed to be closed down a few times. it would be nice if we got a clap or we got, oh, y'all doing a good job. [cheering and applause] it would be nice. i'm not going to say that the ladies are doing their thing. because they give me life. they make me get up every single day. i have a principal park i'm a little mad she leave does but i can talk to about anything. these kids can talk to her about anything. [cheering and applause] our kids, our babies are black and brown babies. we are called a trauma informed school. it's kip academy comes to our school calc will they take over our school? no. that's not the plan. because somebody told me, believe in positive intent. i am not feeling it and i'm not feeling you guys. you made

i don't have the right connections. i'm not smart enough. there are too many other people vying for it. i had all of the excuses. i had put an artificial barrier in my life. so my charge to you is when you walk out of here and you go for that career, you go for life, my challenge and charge to you is remove those barriers from your lives. don't let anyone or anything keep you from fulfilling your dreams. in closing, many of you will travel extensively in your careers. as you stand on the brink of that great adventure, i hope that you will remember it is not the quantity of the miles, but the quality of the journey. when you do what you love, you do it well and you do it with passion and you do it with integrity and professionalism, you will have a worthwhile journey. thank you very much. good luck, and may god bless america. thank you very much.

maybe it is not i have a lady friend. i have a gay friend. i have a white male friend. you don't necessarily have to break people up. we all come from different places. i am about to get my marines ready to go out on a ship. hat do i need to know? i don't know what it is like -- well, i do. i spent plenty of time on a ship, but whatever it is. my point is build up peer groups so that when you come up with those questions, and as you are building that group, find people you can talk to honestly, what is the value, what is your experience dictating here? >> ok, before we go to questions and answers, a final question. what advice would you give your younger self? [laughter] >> my basic advice would be, younger or older it doesn't matter. figure out who you are. figure out what you want out of life. figure out where your red lines are. we mentioned some of this before. for me, 20-plus years ago joining the military, not a lot of women, it was not the ideal career path for a lot of women. it was still somewhat relatively new. being on ships was different. other ad listened to

sure, i have a great family. hose games and even coming after the new year, going into the world championships, i didn't feel as motivated and everything just felt like it was like a drug, the winning was like a drug to me, it's so... so it was a kind of cold turkey then? it was like that. and i don't want to say i got it back, but i'm hungry enough to succeed, especially after i lost in 2016. the first thing i did right after the final event, i said look guys, it is what it is, i'm not going to make excuses for what happened, but i can promise you now, in five months‘ time, i'm going to win the short—course. let's conclude with what you hoped would be your legacy. you have an academy now on the ground, you're hoping to build a strong force in south africa for swimming. how do you think that might work? exactly, it goes back to what you said earlier. the facilities are not quite there and i feel like we're losing a lot of kids to the system. with respect to some of the coaches, it is almost like the 60s, 70s, 80s,

in the senate, i feel very good. we have a one seat majority. i would not be surprised to see us actually pick up seats. that is mostly because we have a tilted playing field. you have a much greater degree of democrats that are up for reelection this cycle. in july. book is out what is it about? guest: it is about several things. it is my story. when i came out of the white house, i was not fully committed to writing a book. around lot of speeches the world. people asked the same questions over and over again. i thought to myself, if i am going to set the record straight about who i am and how i felt about certain things, then it was incumbent upon me to write the book and tell people how did i get here. i talk about how i got to washington, my early years, and then my career progression and the experiences of the campaign. host: what did you learn about yourself writing the book? guest: that is a great question. it is cathartic and therapeutic in a lot of ways. he gives you an opportunity to reflect on who you are as a person. why you may certa

people still give that age—old excuse, but i don't have the guts to say, don't worry, i have got a cardre, have you noticed takings going down? i have been doing it for quite a few years and i can't say i've noticed my takings going down. it is difficult to say because perhaps i'm getting better as an artist so i hope... i expect it to go artist so i hope... i expect it to 9° up artist so i hope... i expect it to go up but they tend to stay the same, so! go up but they tend to stay the same, so i am hoping that is a result of cash free. since you have gone and got your contactless gizmo here, have you noticed more people doing it? that has really helped my income! i want to ask you a terribly crass question so incident that i will say how generous are londoners? tourists are very generous. although i recently been playing in train stations and commuters have been quite generous. probably because you are brightening up the day. that's the aim of what i want to do. flowers a nd the aim of what i want to do. flowers and bright colours. what is the most anyone has ever given you? i have bee
