[laughter] mr. chairman, i want to thank you for the focus on the radicalization and the first hearing and of the things we got a lot of the first hearing, and maybe this is for me as a first member that we are revisiting this issue over and over again. it reminds me of my first visit to the zoo when i saw a one trick pony, but i would say that out of the testimony, and we heard from the first the extent of radicalization and the muslim american community and the response we heard from mr. blood so, mr. bachus, mr. -- the next hearing the threat of the muslim radicalization in the u.s. presence weird from kevin smith, patrick dunn and michael downing. today we have another panel, remarkable people with good insight, and i just want to pull from what we learned in those hearings to see i

mr. richmond. it's extremely important to focus on who wants to destroy this country? and i believe that there are entities within this country that are supporting those radical jihadists. i think there are organizations that are very public that are supporting the radical jihadists. we need to know exactly who our enemy is. we need to focus upon that enemy and not let political correctness detour us. i thank you dr. jasser in that regard. i think political correctness is also an enemy of us focusing upon those who want to destroy this country. i don't know a single person on this side of the aisle that is islamophobic. i think every single person and every single republican wants to focus on exactly what this hearing at all about. and that's the radicalization which is a tremendous, tremendous national security problem. and dr. jasser, we've heard a lot about care. and i'd like to hear from you, what's your view of care is and in your view, does care represent all muslim americans? does care represent you? does care helping or hurting your effort to try to foster peac

mr. mayor. partnership within the elected family is important to make this work. you heard that eric mar is no stranger to peabody schools. you know he represents the richmond district. what you may not know is that he along with the rest of the board of supervisors said also as the board of the san francisco county transportation authority. in mention that because they are providing the majority of the funding for this initiative. so i want to thank the board in their capacity as the transportation authority for their leadership and the funding support to enable this to happen and ask eric mar to come up and say a few words. >> thank you, everyone, for being here. i rode my bicycle from where i live, and i see that people are speeding by in the mornings even as parents are dropping their kids off. i know this simple policy change will actually save lives. i think these signs and community education that the mta and police department and all of the city family will be working on in the 200 different sites and schools will help save lives. i also wanted to say that as a parent, i know that as we get to work quickly, sometimes we do not understand as drivers
