my name is shane hard and i'm the project manager for transbay we have jeff white, raymond lee and ben brandon. we will discuss the background of transbay, the transbay successes and 2020 commission action and next steps. the transbay redevelopment area was created in 2005 to generate funding for the salesforce transit center. the redevelopment project area is split into two zones. his own one is under land-use authority of ocii. the redevelopment plan and state law required that 35% of all new units built be affordable. this is a mockup of the redevelopment project area. our boundaries are mission street in the north, second street to the west, folsom street to the south and main and spears street to the east. as a mentioned, his own one is under ocii land-use authority and it consists of 12 blocks, seven of which are located on folsom street, three are in the temporary transit center site and one block is located north of howard. block 12 is located at the southeast corner of harrison and second street. the remainder of the redevelopment project area is zone two. the zone will consis

i want to bring in jeff bennett for just a moment here, jeff bennett there at the white house. and jeff, we just saw and heard from president trump a few moments ago, leaving for the nato summit. what's the message that he left with lawmakers on impeachment on his way out of town? >> reporter: well, it was an airing of presidential grievances, craig. the president still trying to paint the impeachment process as a partisan pursuit, not worthy of his time. if we have the sound, we can play it. if not, i can just keep talking. let me know. the president was talking about how he thinks it will play politically. if we have it, we can play it right now. >> they're getting killed in their own districts. i think it's going to be a tremendous boon for the republicans. republicans have never, ever been so committed as they are right now and so united. so it's really a great thing in some ways, but in other ways, it's a disgrace. it's a disgrace for our country. >> reporter: so here's the deal. the impeachment process is moving from the fact-finding phase to the prosecution or the indictm

. >> joining us for more, nbc white house correspondent jeff bennett and garrett haake on capitol hillhave you gotten any response yet from senator kennedy? >> reporter: no word yet from senator kennedy's office. i shawhat you're seeing here is comparison between apples and oranges here. there were ukrainians concerned about the prospect of donald trump becoming president. what you see in those financial times articles cited by the federalist in particular is one ukrainian trying to raise alarm bells about donald trump. that's not even remotely the same thing as a top down kremlin organized pew lynn led effort to fundamentally interfere in a u.s. election. what you're seeing more broadly is an effort by republican lawmakers to throw as much chum in the water as possible here and just bog this process down in counter measures and counter charges and complaints about one another and other countries here that republicans don't have to win these arguments. they have to make them confusing enough that people just tune them out. i think that's what you're seeing from republican defenders of

i want to dig into this right now starting with nbc's jeff bennet at the white house. jeff, the president is not done talking about this yet. what else has he had to say? >> hey, ali. good to see you. president trump, in a tweet, said he is no longer going to read "christianity today." it's not clear he ever did. but look. why evangelicals have been steadfast in their support for president trump despite what they see, on one hand if you listen to conservative talk radio, you often times hear white evangelicals compare president trump to king cyrus. if you read the old testament in the book of isaiah, king cyrus was the persian king chosen by god to navigate through chaos. so that is the theological explanation they often uto justify their support for president trump. but white evangelicals for generations in their own self-interest and self-pragmatism identified policy goals. and then found politicians who helped them realize those policy goals. and so that is one of the reasons why despite president trump's interactions with stormy daniels, his -- his comments after th

lingside nbc news white house correspondent jeff bennet, in for amin, as the house judiciary committeeump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani was in europe. "the new york times" reports that according to people familiar with the matter on tuesday, giuliani met with former ukrainian prosecutor in budapest and travelled to kyiv and hoping to meet with other ex-ukrainian prosecutors including viktor shokin, fired in efforts to crack down on corruption. and the times notes that the former new york city mayor is reportedly helping right wing news network with a documentary series promoting his arguments against the impeachment inquiry. >>> now to more of the key moments from yesterday's impeachment hearing, we heard from four legal scholars, three told the house judiciary committee that there is no doubt they say the president's actions regarding ukraine are impeachable but the fourth witness did not defend the actions at the heart of the inquiry, but instead argued against the process. watch this. >> it is not wrong, because president trump is right, this call is anything but perfect, it is no

jacqui heinrich in monsey, new york, jeff paul in white settlement, texas. start with you, jacqui.fton thomas is facing federal hate crime charges, being held without bail just hours after his defense attorney and family held a press conference saying he is not anti-semitic person but is mentally disturbed. they also addressed evidence investigators found against him. the fbi described a journal in his car with anti-semitic statements and references to nazis and adolf hitler. thomas researched other jewish temples before the monsey attack. according to police thomas stormed home of a rabbi during a hanukkah celebration saturday night, wounding five people, including a the rabbi's own son. an elderly victim is still in critical condition. when thomas began the spree, he uttered, no one is leaving. the county called in private security guards to keep watch over the synagogue. around the state the governor ordered extra police patrols in orthodox communities like this one. since sent 23rd there has been one anti-semitic attack each day including christmas day a man in traditional clot

jeff mason is a white house reporter for reuters and ellen fruman is a former senate parliamentarian. welcome to you both. jeff, let me start with you. what are the biggest factors that the president will be considering when he's looking for and building his defense team? >> well, a few different things. number one, i think he'll probably want somebody who's either good on tv or certainly good in the senate. he needs people around him who are supporters and people who can press his case. you know, we've seen frustration from president trump for some time now that he hasn't really been able to get out and give his version of events, even though he has that opportunity every time he talks to reporters and could have had some witnesses during the house period as well. there's been a tension in president trump's thinking and amongst the people around him and in republicans generally about whether to have a longer trial or shorter trial. certainly he will want a defense team that can get his case there in the senate and present it to the american people. >> alan, we've seen, of course, the

. >>> moments ago president trump meeting with congressman jeff van drew at white house.he president formally announcing the democrat would switch to the republican party. congressman van drew cites impeachment but was at risk politically. >> amazing period of time and to have you is a tremendous asset for the party and again, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> with you all the way. >> thank you. >> with you. >> tremendous honor. thank you. >> and manu raju is reporting the house is likely to close shop for the yearpproving a key resolution. so what that means is no clarity until they return to washington january 6th. >>> cnn's jason carroll is following how voters feel about impeachment in detroit. >> reporter: we spoke to say impeachment long overdue but no cause for celebration and say looking ahead they have say the y have a lot of concern for their party and their country. members of the royal oak democratic club gathered to mark what they calm add somber day in u.s. history. >> very disheartening to me to see people who used to call themselves republicans who are

i want to bring in jeff bennet at the white house, not only is the president not going to take part in the hearings, he will not be in the country. he has the nato. >> yeah, come wednesday he will be in love for the final day of the nato summit, and the white house council, in his letter, he accused democrats of scheduling it for a day when president trump would be out of the country. i'm going to read a little more. he said we cannot fairly expect to participate in a hearing when the witnesses are yet to be named. and if they will afford a fair process through additional hearings. in addition, it will not begin to provide the president with a semilanblance of a fair process. so the goal is really still the same which is to paint this unfair. but they are leaving the door open at a later date if democrats make major concessions. but the thiping here to know is moved from fact finding to a new base. they can call a witness and introduce their own evidence. because they invested so much in trying to paint this entire thing as a partisan witch hunt to participate now would validate the pr

jeff: kind of where you would expect. whitend asian men make the top paying jobs and women are clustered in the lower paying jobs. it is a structural problem in society and particularly in tech. that is sort of what intel is saying they want to bring the light, that the industry has a problem. they are willing to share theirs, would you share yours? taylor: exactly. it is notable that intel is openly sharing more data than they need to. what is intel trying to tell us about why they are doing this? jeff: they are admitting this exposes them to vulnerability. they got beat up a bit today. those charts don't look awesome. for some people, it is a revelation. you have them paying attention to what's going on in society so it's like a fresh attack. their thought is this only gets fixed that everyone is pulling in the same direction, and it -- they need pressure to be on everyone to look at this structurally and figure out what's wrong. also on themselves. they put a part of their pay for the top executives is fixing this. there is

joining me now, jeff mason, white house correspondent at reuters and steph kite from axios.ou have the president and his allies, it's all about the process. that's what they attack yet again. the white house did have a chance to defend the president, to call witnesses, to make their case, which they turned down. what's the calculation there? >> i think the calculation right now is that they just don't feel -- they say they don't feel like they're getting a fair process in the house. >> but they're not even participating. >> yeah. and that's -- that's -- the strategy there is just to dismiss it. the strategy there is to say this is not a fair process. you're out to get me and we're going to wait and get to the senate where it's a friendlier audience for this president. the senate is controlled by republicans. the house is controlled by democrats. that very clear political difficu dilneastion is at the top of their mind. talk about the critical move in the week ahead of the white house. this president may be officially impeached by the house. it could happen this week. >> yeah

jeff: in suitland, i was surprised to see how diverse it was. i mean, it was in every way, right? it was old people and young people and babies and black people and white people. i mean, it was everybody. jeff: exactly right. it doesn't make a difference where we go, whether we're down on the texas border, florida, one of the richest counties we have in the country, orange county, california. it's people all across. it's working people. soledad: how are you a federal employee who's struggling to get basic health care? jeff: yeah, whether you're a federal employee, you don't have health care, or through your employer. it's just not working. soledad: i'm always divided. is this amazing, because it is amazing, but is it also a band-aid on what needs to be a policy solution? right. like you're solving a problem and it's amazing that people volunteer their time. i mean, an incredibly helpful for the people who need the care. but there's part of me that's like, we could just fix health care in america. jeff: it's a tough question. you know, when you take a look at a high level -- it is a hard decision for our policymakers to figure out. till then, we're gonn

we talk about it, the white house reporter, jeff mason. jeff, let's take those look right now at the number of democrats who are surfing in districts that president trump carried. not 29 of them. there are 233 house democrats in hundred 97 republicans plus one independent. so if even all of 29 of these we're to a vote against inflation impeachment which doesn't seem likely democrats still have the vault to carry) samantha specht on. i don't think the big ? over whether or not there's going to be enough democratic votes in favor of impeachment. democrats can are confident despite staying they're not looking votes that are enough people in their caucus that will bring it over to the finish live for them. as you see then, the likelihood of a senate trial is very high and the senate is preparing for now. jon: your lindsay graham, he's fighting to make it die a quick death in the senate. i guess, one can ask what is the point there's no going to be the attitude to convict in the senate. white house going through with it. >> the democrats have r

e-mailsthality promoted anti-immigrant white nationalist racist ideologies before he left jeff segs alabama senate office and was brought up to the trump white house to be put in charge of immigration policy at the highest levels of the u.s. government. joining us now is one of the signers of that letter. senator, thank you so much for making time to be with us tonight. one of the things we're trying to coo tonight is focus on scandals in and around the trump administration that would be a gigantic deal in any other presidency. i guess i want to ask you about the premise of this interview and what i've been talking about in the last few minutes is the fact that stephen miller isn't as big of a scandal. the employ of this man under these terms in this white house would be sort of a showstopper. >> well, the thing is that stephen miller fits right in with the moral dead zone that is the trump white house. and we already know the anti-immigrant policies that have been coming out of the trump white house since day one starting with the muslim ban and going forward. so stephen miller has been th

jeff: you had mentors? dr. glover: white mentors throughout the fbi, and every field office, and pretty much every assignment that i had, that propelled me along. jeff: how important was that? dr. glover: that was very important. i think you need somebody, to use a sports metaphor, running interference for you. or somebody pulling you, or somebody encouraging you. at my first office, it was kind of easy, in a sense. we discussed that, because i was working fugitive cases and car cases and all, and a former high school and college football player, so i could handle myself in a fugitive situation. and that was observed early on, in those assignments. i second office, when i went to washington, d.c., early on, i got involved in a speaking situation, so my special agent in charge received a nice letter from the school principal, in terms of what a great job this young guy did. year, they said, we want to invite you, and invite him again. it was that kind of encouragement. .c., joe purvis, ultimately became the assistant director
