mr. campbell said we are sounding the alarm and need to defend the rule of law, what hould we do?>> i'd urge you to apply to ork on a committee or member of congress. my view is right now the recruitment ought out of the law school, the executive branch, that's where you get your pedestal to go into private practice and make money, congress desperately needs all you people to go work with them. mr. fein: and even though you're not going to get paid the same you get paid if you went to wall street or otherwise, that's what's needed. >> it's interesting, too you hit on it. you don't want to talk about problems without having a solution. what strikes me as curious is that, if you read a book recently came out, "how democracies die," which i recommend. mr. campbell: it talks about surveying throughout history tyrants who came to power and how they essentially assembled their government and destroyed these important norms, norm after norm after norm. and in the book they reference as the soft guardrails of democracy. it's always been known that the f.b.i., institutions of justice are o

thanks so much for being with us so what should cubans make then or what should they expect from mr campbell because he is kind of an unknown quantity isn't the. absolutely what we can expect from me. east policy continue to be rather will economic reform but no democratic political opening or google's moving towards a more pluralistic political system and why do you think that is is it because he's . kind of still trying to strike a balance between the two and knowing as well that raul castro is is still there in the background yeah i mean in general terms. don't defer much from those of indeed for christian. gutteral yeah canel is. boyd and change would continue being steered by the two who remain the head of the cronies party in cuba which is the one in which calls the shots and the can is will try to enable change the no way. it will not make feel uncomfortable the old castro the old cuban revolutionary guard and the security apparatus so we expect change and rather will continue opening of cuba's economy to foreign direct investment to the private sector but at the pace to which you kno

mrs. campbell's hair because there is a public accomodations act.hite police knew the '64 civil rights act. my daughter, wouldn't let her wade in water at private pool, they shut the power off. we got through all the stuff but that was what the environment was like. >> fast forward a little bit. right before the act, you testified in front of congress. you were still in the navy. >> right. >> and talk about kind of what your superior officers thought about that, and kind of sacrifice to be able to go to testify? >> let me put this in context. after the the after bus boycot in montgomery alabama, dr. king came up to michigan state university and spoke to reverend ralph abernathy, he told the people in washington they had a choice between riding in humiliation or walking in dignity. so i remember that. so that was one of my personal drivers. the other thing, i worked for very interesting admiral from georgia. admiral steve morrison. his son, was jim morrison of the doors. admiral morrison told me in no uncertain terms, he did not want me using my posi

mr. campbell's comments. he actually ended up at a perfect spot. factory built housing is conspicuously abbo conspicuously absent from the list. the authority includes adopting approving standards, adding arrest deleting to a city or a city and county like us to establish more restrictive housing standards. san francisco has enacted amendments to the building code for specific reasons, and the california building standards commission has accepted them as one of the building inspectors here said, these are minimum life safety standards, and everyone should be complying with them. in short, the legislature peeled back the reach of the factory built housing law and put it under the building standards law. in conconclusion, the building standards law has provided the building standards commission with the authority to publish the building standards code related to all occupancy in the state of california. buildings must conform to the code to obtain development approval from the planning commission and building permits from the department of building i

mr. campbell, that is her fifth language. how many do you speak?now, "the hill"'s joe concha, and larry elder. i don't know who is smiling more. i'll be honest, leave the women and children along. ivanka, baron, melania, stop. at some point, you've got to be head and. >> afirst ladies barely get attacked, whether it be michelle obama, whether it be a bush -- >> sean: michelle obama, when she said for the first time in my adult life i am part of my come down my country, she interjected herself into politics and that was outrageous. >> the favorability rating of her was 54% in gallup. you want to attacker? no upside to this whatsoever. >> sean: i just find this part insulting. especially, she is an extraordinarily bright woman, she's reading a children's book, something that first ladies do. michelle obama did it as well. and if you are not injecting yourself into politics, larry, why? what's the point? >> i consider the trumps to be pretty tough people and melania to be pretty tough as well. she speaks five languages. i'm pretty sure whatever jimmy

mr. campbell demoralizing and heading to the exits. corruption and conflicts are ram pant at the hud, hhs and the white house itself. depending on the day of the week, the president is threatening to fire the attorney general, the deputy attorney general or the special counsel. i criticizes individual judges and refers to the press as enemy of the people and calls for political opponents to be prosecuted and jailed. we have done everything in our power to force them to act to the very least to create a actability where they failed to act. today the democrats are issuing an interim report entitled a record of abuse, corruption, and inaction, house judiciary democrats efforts to document the failings of the trump administration which details the actions we have taken thus far. among other things, we have sent 39 oversight letters to the majority, the ma rt jo of the committee, nearly all without response and introduced 35 oversight related bills also without response. sent six letters requesting inspector general reports and initiated se

mr. campbell, why did my father died? i cannot answer that question.arol received the flag she was eight months pregnant and i looked at her interface and i said she could not walk out of that cemetery and buy or rent a house without any hassle. that is just drove me to the edge so i couldn't let this rest. i had to move two years later i thought if i could get a place at the river house next to the pentagon i could at least stop off and have dinner with my family and i walked into the lobby again and i'm told with impunity this is before we had those [inaudible] tests. i'm sorry, sir, we don't practice open occupancy. i wrote a letter to secretary of defense mcnamara a one-page letter asking him to desegregate her house which was 1661 unit and i said it would be inappropriate to do business with the company unless they undulate called it the assistant secretary and they decided to capitulate. all total just a few letters and a lot of support people have their hearts in the right places we got several thousand units desegregated but i was driven becaus

mr. careroll. incompetence to recognize karen campbell, and all the time and energy you and your office have invested. the bla has done an impeccable job in budget and financial analysis which we all depend on as we all make decisions around policies and budget and conduct many special studies and audits that the city requests in departments for the board of supervisors. miss campbell, i want to bring you up for a short presentation and then we will open up for public comment on this item. thank you so much, miss campbell. >> yes. thank you, chair kim. supervisor peskin -- excuse me supervisor breed. this is required every year by our contract that we submit our annual work plan for approval as well as our performance measures. we base the allocation of hours in our work plan on the requirements of our contract and actual service levels that we provide to the board. it is divided among budget analysis our weekly legislative reports to the budget and finance committee or the jao, and then audits and policy analysises. the main difference from prior years is recognizing the increased budget analysis th

mr. trump. >> i want to bring in josh campbell, our cnn law enforcement analyst and supervisor agent. this is not a easy decision for special counsel robert mueller or for the u.s. attorney in manhattan to go ahead and authorize a no-knock raid like this on the office of the president's long-time personal attorney. >> it is not. and this will start with the highest level of the department of justice and signed off been senior doj officials an it is a matter of policy because you when deal with a elected official or a investigative matter, that goes straight to the top. the fbi agents have warranted in front of judges every day but something of this significance is coordinated. and let as go along the time line and as far as this being privileged communication and off limits and the fbi agents in new york will gobble up the information they are not entitled to. let's walk through that. once the green light is given through the doj they will work with the fbi and craft an affidavit based on the facts that they have, which will then be presented to a judge and it is up to that judge, an

mr. trump himself said to jim comey. let's discuss. john avlon is here and josh campbell. he was former special assistant to james comey. now, in some of these memos we see this back and forth between the two men. let's put up on the screen what the president said about his concerns about mike flynn to james comey. very much at odds with what he just tweeted. he then went on to explain that he had serious reservations about mike flynn's judgment. and illustrated with a story from that day in which the president apparently discovered during his toast to theresa may that, redacted, had called four days ago. the president pointed his fingers at his head and said the guy had serious judgment issues. i did not comment at any point. so, josh, once again, the president says what he needs to say in the moment to advance his own interests. right now he wants to make mike flynn a victim. tweet that james comey ruined his life. when, to james comey himself, he gave comey reason to be suspicious of flynn. >> that's right. what's so interesting about these memos is that we are obviousl
