john: the nomination of john tower to be secretary of defense collapses in 1989. george h w bush reaches out to a congressman on his way up the leadership ladder in the house named dick cheney. cheney become secretary of defense, which opens a slot on the leadership ladder filled by newt gingrich. and the natives are restless. rep. cheney: but they are not wrong. john: but they are not wrong. so, one of my favorite stories about how we got where we are is the following. ben weber, a congressman, had run newt gingrich is campaign. george h w bush had been a man of the house until 1970. he asked gingrich and weber to come down to the white house, have a beer, talk things over. and they are sitting there and then can tell that there is something president bush wants to say, but he cannot quite say it. so they are on their way to the elevator and finally weber says mr. president, what worries you most about us? and president bush was relieved to have this opening and he says i worry that sometimes your idealism may get in the way of what i think of as sound governance

president reagan, a special commission headed by former xas senator john tower. and then an independent counsel, requested the white house investigate the wrongdoing of the nsa, and the white house cooperated. so basically. here's a situation where on this parts the president was not involved in. they were willing to cooperate and give other branches what they wanted. so here's reagan from a speech saying more or less exactly that for the three months i've been silent on the revelations about iran and you must have been thinking why d tell us what's happening. why doesn't he just speak to us as he has in the past, when we've faced troubles or tragedies others of you? i guess we're thinking, what's he doing hiding in the white house? well, the reason haven't spoken to you before now is this you deserve the truth. and as frustrating as the waiting has been, i felt it was improper to come to you with sketchy reports or possibly even erroneous statements, which would then have to be corrected, creating more doubt and confusion. there's been enough of that. i paid a p

that agreement was sat at a trump tower meeting with michael cohen and donald trump in 2015, and they in order to bridge the toughest gap in this case, the gap of intent. john, what was going on in trump's my the prosecutors will want to argue that starting at that meeting, david agreed through that catch and keep kill scheme to benefit the trump campaign and that everything that followed, including the payments to stormy daniels had that intent of allegedly illegal election interference. so it's the theme of the case that unifies all those disparate efforts and to jens very good point. i suspect prosecutors are going to hit the federal campaign crimes. the state election crimes, and the tax crimes in the opening today, belts suspenders and duct tape why not? >> again, with david, we haven't heard that much from him over the last several years in public. so this will be the first time we hear from it at length. and remember according to what we know, he was in the room with donald trump and can testify as to what he spoke with about trump is specifically. all right. dan, if you're that offense here, what do you have to accomplish today? >> well, so interest

john. yet keeping that warm and go and we are seeing temps today actually a little bit warmer than yesterday's event. that's going bring a couple of us up into the low 80's quick tower right now. looks great. lots of sunshine up above. no cloud cover in this view, at least we have seen a few high passing clouds today, but not blocking out any brightness and certainly not keeping temperatures down. those are just climbing a little by little every day. we are continuing to see this high-pressure ridge building in this forecast. this will contribute to steady dry weather through the rest of the week on into the weekend and into next week, too. really long range models are indicating a potential switch up towards the very end of the month. that's still a while away, though. so for now, we are smooth sailing with very little change going on here today and tomorrow, basically repeating one another tomorrow going to be very similar temperature wise friday does get a little cooler. your warmest of temps on friday will be mid 70's. so still obviously quite comfortable. just a few more clouds as well on friday as we make our way into the weekend. as for temperatures today, we

. >> now john cleese is a man whose name will ring familiar with many viewers , and he has with many viewers, and he has said that basil fawlty, of course, from his hit fawlty towersd by modernity, and i wonder, i fear that actually we haven't changed for the better. i think we're increasingly in an age of censorship where people like bafil censorship where people like basil fawlty couldn't make jokes, where fawlty towers couldn't make certain jokes that it's made in the past and some might say, like a certain benjamin butterworth, that we've moved on from the 1970s, but i fear we've moved far too far the other way. and we're entering a real era of totalitarian censorship. and john cleese is absolutely right to stand strong for free. >> sorry, wasn't wasn't john cleese the person who, in recent years on twitter has lambasted the so—called culture wars and right wingers for standing up against this stuff. why is he now? why is he now coming out and saying cleese has always been a massive advocate for free speech? >> no, no. >> no, no. >> read some of his twitter posts in recent years. he's even despite the fact he had a show on this channel. he's, you know, slagged

towers in historic districts in area zone 65 feet. i want to concur with the appropriate words of one of the longest-serving, and most prohousing planning directors we've had in resent times john ram and his email to the present planning director who recommended this to us were in the file where he indicates his support for the legislation that this board passed on 8-3 vote. it is responsible planning it's the right thing to do for the city's historic districts that date to the gold rush and does not prevent housing and i say that as a supervisor who is proud to have presided over and supported rezoning from the bay view to the eastern neighborhoods to western and central soma and rincon hillary clinton but this is, i think not only well considered but recommended by our planning experts by the mayor's four appointees to the planning commission, as well as three appointees of the board of supervisors. supervisor stefani? >> thank you, president peskin, colleagues when this first came to the board, i made sure to do my homework as i always do and extensive out reach. at that time, i was assured that this piece of legislation is compliant with the housing general plan which why

and, along with john lieb of superstructures contractors, i installed a large array of philips led lighting fixtures on the crown of the tribune tower downtown oakland, illuminating the entire top of the tower. the multicolored, the same type of, of lighting technology that we're talking about here, led lighting is great for architectural lighting enhancement and all that sort of thing, but but, it absolutely is not appropriate for an old personal enamel sign, that was built and designed for neon units to, to illuminate it, i'm qualified to speak on the subject at hand. led lighting as a secondary architectural enhancement. lighting, can be useful. with that said, thank you sir. okay. one more thing, sir. that is your time. all right. good afternoon, commissioners, my name is gary parks, and i don't have al or or john's credentials or experience, but i do work on historic signs. i drew the patterns for the neon on the restoration of the strand theater sign on market street, and i am currently involved in restoring the grand lake theater rooftop sign, which is a light bulb sign. incandescent. we are using some led bulbs. we're using
