[indiscernible chatter] [camera shutter] [indiscernible chatter] >> thank you. thank you. [indiscernible chatter] >> thank you for answering my question. mayor buttigieg: thank you. >> thank you so much. mayor buttigieg: where are you off to? mayorl you take a selfie buttigieg: with us? --e >> will you take a selfie with us? mayor buttigieg: sure.

mayor buttigieg: all right. one thing you ought to know is dish soap and hand soap are pretty much the same thing. it took me a while to figure that out. that is better advice, please vote. more than that, and this is important and this is how our organizing will work, i am sure you have friends you talk about where the country is headed with and your futures, but they don't believe voting matters. they will be more likely to respond to you urging them to get involved than they will anybody else in television -- on television telling them to do it. if you care about the future of this country and the you planned on being here, the more you have a stake about dealing with national debt before it swamps us during more or less your career prime. if you care about this stuff, you have to call others to be part of it with you. our views are popular, we just don't always vote. good luck in your studies. yes, ma'am. >> [indiscernible] mayor buttigieg: how will we protect a woman's right to choose? i will appoint justic

they call me mayor pete. i am a proud son of south bend, indiana, and i am running for president of the united states. >> what is your political ideology? >> i view myself as a progressive but also am aware of living in a moment when a lot of the ideological frameworks i grew up with are becoming less and less useful. you got a president who doesn't even have an ideology. >> a month and half into his run, many voters still didn't have a clear idea of the candidate's platform. people have knocked you for not coming out with very detailed, specific, policy proposals. why is this the way that you're approaching the campaign, at least at this stage? >> i'm a policy guy. i'm kind of a policy geek, actually. but precisely for that reason. i'm going to make sure that before we get into the guts of our proposals which we've done more and more, we're trying to make sure people understand where all of this is coming from to begin with. the reason you put forward these policies is not just to signal what you're going to

we are honored to have mayor breed with us here today and to have mayor willie brown's daughter, susan brown, here with us as well. without question, it is because of the support of mayor breed and mayor brown that we are standing here today about to open this beautiful dormitory for kids. [ applause ]. >> it's pretty cool. i would like to begin our program by introducing susan brown, who is going to comment on her father's long-term commitment to life learning academy. susan. [ applause ]. >> thank you very much, craig, for that very warm introduction. i'm susan brown and my father is willie brown, former mayor of san francisco. he was unhappy because he could not be here today, but he asked me to see what i could possibly say. so i'm here to give you a few words. so our family is extremely proud and extremely happy and extremely excited for these dormitories. in 1998 when my father was mayor, he formed a partnership. and because of that partnership, life learning academy exists. what began with that partnership would culminate into what you see here today life learning academy, an or

mayor. head of american wind energy association. great to have your support. we have a wind blade down the street. we would love to have you sign it. mayor de blasio: a wind blade! >> exactly. iowans, we love our wind energy. mayor de blasio: who wouldn't want that? [indiscernible] >> hi. thanks for coming. thanks for running. mayor de blasio: absolutely. >> are you in there, sir? everybody look this way. everybody look. 1, 2, 3. one more. >> thank you. mayor de blasio: thank you very much. we will see you right down the hill. >> down the hill, on the right side. mayor de blasio: i want to sign the blade. [indiscernible] >> thank you. >> will you do something about it? mayor de blasio: yes, sir. >> thank you. >> i want to ask you about the process. do you think it is too much? mayor de blasio: i don't think it is too much. i think you see people making their judgments. is replacingnk it retail politicking at all? not at all -- mayor de blasio: not at all. you saw from the debates that they h

we will get a response from the mayor. mayor de blasio: thank you. i really appreciate what you said about both. i want to say something about hannity, because i think this is important. refused to allow our democratic party to be portrayed as the party of the elite or the party just of the two coast. -- coasts. when i think about the folks who watch the show, separate them from sean hannity. i disagree with him on almost everything. a lot of those people were democrats not long ago, some of them probably still are. a lot are labor union members. a lot would like to hear something different that they are not hearing from democrats. i went at hannity on the core point that what he's been saying, what his network has been saying has been part of how the rich got richer. we have to be honest about that. he has this big audience that he sells a bill of goods to, but we don't confront him. we don't go right into the lions den and take him on an appeal to those folks. i think they will respect people and value them. you speak to them wherever they are. it'

i am the mayor of south bend indiana. some people have trouble saying buttigieg so they call me mayor pete. >> president pete. mayor buttigieg: that has a good ring to it. i would like to tell you a little bit about who i am, what my values are and then i will make time to shut up so we can have more of a conversation. i'm running for president because i think our countries running out of time. we cannot keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting it to get better. the problems we are dealing with are even bigger than the problems that this president represents. all get me wrong, this president represents some serious problems. the biggest problem is the president thinks we are all suckers. we've got a country with the gross domestic product is going up and life expectancy is going down. we are in a country or there will be 130 million more guns on the streets and houses will cost half $1 million. he wants us to think our biggest problem is political correctness. his big solution is to pass a tax cut for corpora

mayor garcetti: unquestionably. this is the biggest income gap and the biggest wealth gap we have had since the great depression. i say that as often as i can because the second gilded age feels like a lot of fun if you are doing well. there has never been a better time to be in the cities in terms of the culture in museums and food. but even the successful cities have a deep underclass. and other cities are being left behind. that is not what this country is. it is not who we are. when people get scared about redistribution, ioa say, forget -- i always say forget about what is it being taken away, what is the cost to you going around your city and seeing people living on sidewalks or in tents? $50,000 a person. but we won't do something to control rents or do something to give people assistance for six months so they can make that rent. that is what is perversely wrong in this moment. i appreciate your voice on the voice of these members to make sure we do not forget there are structural reasons we have a homelessn

mayor breed. [ applause ]. >> mayor breed: thank you.ohamed is really excited about this project, isn't he? he's always excited about projects that move the city forward in the right direction. san francisco is in earthquake territory. and it's not a matter of if but when the next big one will be prepared. so we have to be prepared. more importantly, we have to make sure that our public safety officials are in seismically safe facilities so that when they're trying to help the citizens of san francisco, they don't necessarily need help themselves. we know that the traffic division and the forensic services division are located in buildings that are not seismically safe. especially with the traffic division and motorcycles and their need to get to people and help protect people throughout san francisco, that's going to be critical. if we have a next earthquake and something happens, how are they going to get their motorcycles out? we have to start thinking about the future and ways to protect all of our citizens, especially making sure th

last, mayor ed lee. he loved this project. i remember talking to him about this the week before he left us, and he loved this. what a fantastic legacy for you to carry on, and don't think we forget about it, supervisor peskin. so with that, i stand between you and a free lunch, and there is one occasionally, so we are now going to do the ground breaking. somebody needs to get a shovel, and we need some earth. we'll do that, and then, we'll all get a free lunch. thank you very much, everybody, for coming. >> the hon. london breed: five, four, three, two, one. >> all right. get to work! . >> working for the city and county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrate and dynamic city on sfroert of the art and social change we've been on the edge after all we're at the meeting of land and sea world-class style it is the burn of blew jeans where the rock holds court over the harbor the city's information technology xoflz work on the rulers project for free wifi and developing projects and insuring patient state of at san francis

thank you so much and i'll hand it over to our mayor. >> mayor breed: thank you so much for being here today. i want to add to what mary ellen said about what we need to do to take our emergency response system to the next level. nowadays it's not just about making phone calls. people are text messages and delivering messages in a lot of different ways. so it is time that our systems reflect the changes in technology. so ab 911 is just an incredible step forward that will provide us with the resources necessary to improve our system throughout the entire state of california. i want to thank our governor for signing the legislation and his leadership and vision on moving us forward to the 21st century, because we know that when someone reaches out and they are in a situation of an emergency, that they clearly need help and we need to have a better response system. i'm sure many of you remember years ago when people -- when cellphones just began -- well, that was a long time ago, but cellphones first became a thing and how people would use cellphones in some instances to call 911, but th

mayor garcetti: in my opinion, no. we do have a small facility, but the jails and county and state is a state's response ability. not enough. if we want to solve homelessness, a big part of the small sliver of criminal activity happening among people who are on housed is happening because people are coming out of the jails and prisons without a plan, the savings we were promised by the criminal justice reform that would go to local government instead of putting folks in a prison system, we do not see. rep. garcia: one final question, if we could put a package together -- or address that this to seec issue -- i fail why cities even do it, but to help you to make sure that you did not have to criminalize homelessness, what would that one thing be other than funding? mayor garcetti: we need storage for sure. i do not know other than funding if there is anything that the federal government has the power to do or that we want. we need money to create the systems where people can store their goods. training for law enforceme

mayor breed before she was mayor was a supporter.e with us to china a few years ago to see the warriors play there. she has -- since the time she has been in office has been an inbelievable advocate in focusing in on what it's going to take to make this project successful for the city. i think her encouragement is what resulted in our muni program. remember that, your ticket to any event at j center is our ticket on muni. free transportation on muni the day of the event. that's an incredible opportunity. i think it's not only going to be great for getting people familiar with muni on muni. i think it's going to bring a lot of people to muni that have never tried it before because of the guests from outside the bay area and outside of san francisco who now will have an experience with muni that hopefully they'll repeat over and over again. i think, mayor, you've assured us that tom has made sure with all this demand that we're creating, that the service is going to match that demand, right? isn't that what you told me? thanks to each

thank you, mayor, for your partnership.i want to close with a few observations about why this is so important to tndc and to our community and the tenderloin. the tenderloin, like so much of san francisco, is gentrifying, and there has been a long-standing fear dating back to the seventies that the tenderloin would someday not to be affordable to people with low incomes. when we buy a property like 270 turk street, one of the things that is really important about it is the fact that it is no longer owned by a for-profit. i want to break that down a little bit in terms of the way rent control works in san francisco. of course, under rent control, rent can only go up so much for an existing tenant, however, when a tenant voluntarily vacates, not is displaced, voluntarily vacates, that unit's rent can float up to market. that means that the next occupant will be higher income household. one can see that when one looks at the rent roll of barcelona apartments, and 80 or so people who live here, the people who moved in recently

i think you them mayor -- i think the mayor for appearing. purposes,dification while you may appear to be alone, it is happening in houston, it is in washington, d.c., and the numbers are growing, for various reasons. one question for me to take to my constituents and persons letter interested in this would be what can we do to prevent, while we are not where you are, but headed in your direction, what should we do now to prevent -- to take preventative measures? mayor garcetti: three things. thank you for that question. , andre the previous levels pass this measure that chairwoman waters put forward. second, put up assistance for eviction, fund of that. we are doing that out of dollars we don't really have. i know you talked about being a legal lawyer, most landlords are good. the unscrupulous ones have a bad impact on your neighborhoods. we are giving legal assistance to folks who are threatened with eviction's, often who face language barriers and poverty barriers. three, have a mental health system that is not stage for intervention. -- s

[ applause ]. >> all right. thank you so much for coming and thank you for your patience in starting this event. first of all , i want to really thank sheryl davis for her leadership and her advocacy and for her fight for inclusiveness and making sure that no san francisco an is left out. the investments and work that we're doing with the human rights commission in san francisco has been an example for the rest of the world to follow, and i am so proud and tha thankful to all the commissioner s who are joining us here today sitting in the front row smiling because they love and they do. thank you so much for being here to secelebrate 55 years of the human rights commission in the city and county of san franci o francisco.

[applause] >> and we have bob carrier who's a member of the barbary coast neighborhood association. so thank you for coming. [applause] >> this group that's sitting here today sort of does represent a neighborhood inside of a village, the village of san francisco. and two neighborhood associations, a waterfront advisory group, and partners with the city, with the mayor's office of housing and jayesco have really made this happen during the development period. i know that john stewart is going to comment on some of this, but i know there are 26 neighborhood meet -- there were 26 neighborhood meeting

mayor. it has been a legacy of decades of neglect but it is on our watch to end it in washington d c must and will. thank you. rep. waters: thank you very much, mr. mayor. [applause] will nowrs: i recognize myself for five minutes to raise a few questions with you. i am very pleased about your legislation, and we develop this legislation, understanding that $13 billion was going to raise some eyebrows. but we believe if we are to end the homelessness, we have to put theresources to apply to problem. and so, having said that, i wanted to ask you a little bit about your budget. in addition to the federal money that you received from washington, d.c., that we give to all of the states and cities, there was an initiative that was passed. i believe it was hhh. where u.s. -- he received additional resources. i know you put those resources to work. i'm interested in one aspect of that now and that is the transitional housing. which i think is extremely exciting and you showed us an example of it on

and most of the 22 capital cities have men as mayors.however, in tunis, a woman was elected as mayor almost a year ago. reporter: out and about among the people. this is souad abderrahim in her element. the mayor of tunis is adept at giving swift and clear orders. she tells the men that the pavement needs to be extended. next, it's off to a market in sijoumi, one of the city's poorer districts. as one of only a handful of female mayors in this part of the world, she's considered somewhat of a trailblazer. but most people here are simply interested in how she can help them. whether they're looking for a permit, an appointment, or a job, the mayor's priority is to listen to the concerns of the people. mayor abderrahim: i see the real problems on the ground. it's very important for me to listen to the residents because the people here have placed their trust in me and i'd like to reciprocate that. reporter: the city has built a new market hall to stop the proliferation of illegal vendors. but renenting a spaces expensive. many people are un

and unthinkable option for this mayor. what more does a small town budgets where do you find the extra twenty thousand euros how do you make it happen it's impossible? following the yellow vest crisis last spring imagine michael held the debates with the country's's mayors. one of several attempts by a president to often deemed out of touch to connect with local leaders. to find out more about life from his mass also on happy i'm joined now by professor of medicine for cool you are the director of the political research center here it seals. thank you very much for speaking to us. you've written extensively about france's mass what's your understanding as to why this -- disgruntled. lately limit the force someone something menyesal i said there is a difference all in a sense i'm happy with the way that the manual macro has treated them since twenty seventeen and we'll talk -- to as you see the book - but important reforms that cost a lot of controversy and frustration with the scrapping of the property taxes thanks to be d

another mayor dealing with the worst possible situation is the mayor of dayton, ohio. there's really no way to plan for this or anticipate this. but now we're listening to a mayor dealing with it. >> governor mike dewine, city commissioner -- head of the dayton foundation, mike parks, city manager and the assistant chief for the fire department. we have some updates to give you today. i just took a tour with the governor to show the site, he has been briefed by our team and understands what happened here early this morning and i'm going to let him say a few words.>> thank you mayor, very much. good afternoon, everyone. i want to express to the victims families, the dayton community, this is a heartbreaking tragedy and it is the type of tragedy that you pray never comes to your state or community. the mayor and i talked earlier this morning, very early this morning. prior to that i'd received a call from our public safety people about the situation. i just want to say that the city of dayton, the county, first responders, everyone has an absolutely amazing job. you prac

mayor pete: hello.o the issues i most care about is the trajectory of our country and the shape of our democracy that will make it possible if we get it right to deal with things like climate and gun violence and economic inequality, wages, and so on. as to how to deal with this president, i would think of it this way. first of all, it can't all be about him but we have to deal with him. this is trap. when he tells a lie you've got to address it, you've got to say what the truth is. if he does something racist you've got to say that's wrong but we can't give him the power to change the subject, and so, dealing with insults is not a problem for me. i grew up in indiana, i'm gay, i'm not that worried about it. [laughter] [cheers and applause] bullying, not a problem. and, you know, i learned how to keep my cool when the taliban were shooting rockets at our base, i think i can keep my tool when cool when he's sending tweets my way, too. [applause] but the best way to deal with him is to not let him change
