to fall along with what mr. cohen said. i think, too, what i've been talking about with the demolitions, that this report found that there is too many tech workers now. there are middlele income jobs as mr. cohen just brought up. i don't know. maybe it would be good to have us compare all three reports and see what everything says together. and, you know, just to remind everybody the median income -- the median price for housing, single family home 2011 was $625,000. that's just 2011. and now it is almost 2018 and it is now -- the median income price for a single family home is $1.2 million. i don't know how. it seems like the three reports should go together more and this was really interesting so i home you get a copy of it. it's workforce and middle income housing. >> can you forward that to us electronically? >> i don't know. this is a copy. economic, office and workforce development and it says planning department, too. so it's somewhere out there. thank you. >> thank you. any additional public comment on this item? se

we are aware that mr. cohen arranged for the payment for the bank account of mr.h davidson stormy daniel's lawyer at citi national bank in los angeles and, you know, we have that from various sources. we have a sense of how that occurred but at this point we have reported just that that payment was made to that bank. >> can you talk at all about whether or not that payment was drawn on trump organization funds or whether or not mr. trump is -- whether there's any indication that he was aware of these negotiations, these payments? >> we don't know where -- whether the source of the funds was michael cohen himself, mr. trump's lawyer, who arranged this deal. we have no -- we just don't have any evidence of whether mr. trump knew about it but he's close to michael cohn and worked for him as his primary adviser in difficult circumstances for a decade at the trump organization. >> and you talk about that in your piece. you describe a 2017 interview, year ago, in which he described himself as the fix-it guy. what does that mean? >> well, he is the guy who handles threat

rather than work on commissioner -- or mr. cohen mentioned, you know, it is tough to get some of corporate investors to the banks that have more of an international investment portfolio to want to invest in those sort of things. you know, a public bank of san francisco definitely could. i'm a huge proponent of that. then we get down to, all right, what else can we do? vacancy tax. it's hard to get data on how many vacant units are there. but we've all had the anecdotetal evidence of a building that's empty or half empty, whether it is market rate, not a rent controlled or maybe it is an s.r.o. or something. so, you know, that is something that we should be looking at and also add to the pot of funds to protect existing housing stock which will -- and the people in there, right, which will decrease displacement which will decrease this fear that if you build new housing, that will push people out. that is a false equivalency that i've seen. those are things that i would say. i think i see a lot of the data in this report that backs u

mr. cohen: thank you, mr. speaker. the reason we're here is because republicans care more about the extreme wealthy than they do about average american citizens. they got together and passed a tax scam bill that gave 86% of the moneys to the top 1% in our society. they gave crumbs to the middle class that will expire unlike the corporate cuts they gave that will not expire. and then they come up with a children's health care plan as a bargaining chip to get what is not a clean c.r. through but a c.r. where they took funds that will help the a.c.a. continue and take those down for two years so the a.c.a. is further crippled. to hear the republicans talk about their care for health care is laughable. they were never for medicaid or medicare or the affordable care act. they are not for permanent children's health care plan. and they're not for community health centers where 40% of those chip people -- children get their health care. if they wanted to bring the government back and get us open, they would offer us the medic

mr. cohene reporter was, quote, wasting his time pressing for details about the payment which was arrangd three a private company in delaware. joining me is michael roth feld one of the reporters who wrote the story. so what are the details of the payments that the president's lawyer made to stormy daniels? >> well, they agreed to pay her $130,000. at least michael cohen did, the president's lawyer, through a limited liability company that he created in delaware. >> so they created this limited liability company especially for this payment? >> yeah. michael cohen created it, and he's listed as the authorized person on the paperwork in delaware, which we obtained, and opened a bank account and then wired the money to the lawyer for stormy daniels in los angeles at citi national bank. >> why $130,000? it just seems like an odd sum. >> it is. i mean who knows what is the market for, you know, keeping a story of an affair quiet right before an election involving a porn star? but we had previously r

in a statement mr. cohen says these rumors circulate time and again since 2011. mr.enies any such occurrence as has ms. tdaniels. he did not address any payment. he shared a letter that he says is signed by stormy daniels in which she purportedly denies that anything took place and denies that she was paid hush money by donald trump. she doesn't say if she was paid hush money by michael cohen. if that wasn't enough, today before we got on the air, "the daily beast" says it, too, was chasing the story during the campaign negotiating with her to go on the record with them. they say they have three sources confirming that a sexual relationship between mr. trump and stormy daniels did make place.

this is what the journal said, in e-mails to the journal this week, mr. cohen the $130,000 payment but said of the alleged sexual encounter that president trump denies and asked the journal to cease wasting his time. >> as you said, donald trump is known to be promiscuous. he has already been accused by women of alleged sexual assault. is he susceptible to blackmail if it is public already? >> blackmail for trump is not a matter of personal shame. it is a matter of survival. there are two things he thinks about, keeping his finances and right now as president, potentially being removed from power and being prosecuted for a crime. he will do anything to keep that possible. in terms of michael coe hhen, h aggressively threatened journalists. "the wall street journal" wouldn't print an op ed about trump's mafia ties. they held back on printing information about his ties to the russian mafia and kremlin knowing full well they had existed because they were told by people from fusion gps. trump, himself, is susceptible to blackmail. also, trump blackmails. >> to that

mrs. daniels. cohen didn't address the idea of a payment but did give cnn a statement he says is from stormy daniels saying my involvement with donald trump was limited to a few public appearances and nothing more. when i met donald trump he was gracious, professional and a complete gentleman to me and anyone in my presence. rumors i have received hush money were completely false. if indeed i did have a relationship with donald trump, trust me, you wouldn't be reading about it in the news, you'd be reading about it in my book. but the fact of the matter is, these stories are not true. cnn has tried to reach ms. daniels. we have not spoken to her. and mr. trump's attorney has not given information for her. if it did take place it would have occurred the year after he married first lady melania trump. the white house is calling this old recycled news strongly denied prior to the election. >>> we have this story from milwaukee. a scary situation on a greyhound bus heading from milwaukee to chicago. one of t
