>> mr. cohen: thank you for the invitation to be here, and our association is the largest non-profit association of public safety communications professionals that means that our 3 31,000 members are primary people that are state and local government employs who work in or management 9 # is 1 stwrs 91r radio communications by police and fire agency. >> host: can all of those people communicate with each other, 18,000 different in the u.s., can they communicate with each other on a secure network? >> mr. cohen: one solution and that's being implemented as we speak, was groundbreaking legislation that prior to my time joining apco i happened to be on capital hill but it was a leader among other public safety associations that got together to lobby, for this important legislation, and the best part about it and the goal stemming from the days of 9/1 was the achieve interopera bottle on a broad scale. it's a broadband data focused network, so it won't address the current problems with radios today, th

and mr. cohen nods his head at me. i did you, i think, no personal injury, mr. cohen. >> no, sir. >> i meant to do you no personal justice. -- injury. >> no. >> and if i did, i bheg your pardon. let us not assassinate this lad further. you've done enough. have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? have you left no sense of decency? >> so, again, i say this is not mccarthyism. this is a search for the truth about a man who is nominated to the supreme court, a man whose decisions could affect every single american for years to come. every one of us deserves to know the truth. and i mentioned that brett kavanaugh was questioned by new haven police after a bar fight in 1985. i want to go to chief anthony campbell now on the phone. good evening, chief. good to have you on. so how did this police report from 1985 come to light? >> it came to light through a freedom of information request here at the police department by some people who were inquiring as to a gentleman that i believe i heard you mention earlier, who had been arrested, that they felt mr. kavanaugh

mr. cohen. >> good afternoon, commissioners. michael cohen. i think you saw in the materials the origin of this proposed amendment, since we got our entitlements in complete and nonappealable at the end of last year, we have been spending a lot of time trying to raise the equity to build it. as you know in the current construction cost market, that is somewhat challenging. we have identified a fantastic partner in the state of florida's pension trust fund, but as a condition to moving forward with us, they wanted to make sure that they could use some of the affordable housing credits that had been negotiated with the city previously in order to preserve affordable levels at the south beach marina apartments. if the credits aren't fully used, florida has the right to go back and raise rents. no one wants to see that happen at the south beach marina apartments, so we kind of view this as a terrific two-fer in that it advances two terrific policy goals. it paves the way for us to move forward with the project, which as rich mentioned, it includes

. >> our understanding is they reached out to mr. cohenor comment in advance of running the story, and mr. cohen was able to convince them or threaten them that if they ran the story, there would be serious consequences. they decided not to proceed with publishing the story. >> and then things took a darker turn. >> stormy daniels alleged she was in a parking lot going to a fitness class and someone approached her in the car with her daughter in the backseat saying, stop talking about donald trump, it would be a shame for your young daughter to grow up without her mother. this is something that terrified her. >> cohen denies that he played any role in the alleged threat. >> he unequivocally denied it. he said, i've never threatened her. i've never spoken to her, never e-mailed, never texted her, never seen her in person, i don't have any knowledge of any threats being made to her, but, certainly, i was not the one to make those threats. >> stormy daniels kept quiet before the election, helping trump avoid a huge scandal in the home stretch

trump told mr. cohenth eric trump and also another outside lawyer who had represented mr. trump and the trump organization. quote, eric trump then tasked a trump organization staff attorney in california with signing off on the paperwork. so that report from "the wall street journal" brought in a new player in this sort of felony adjacent part of the president's story, right? the president's son eric apparently has been part of this effort related to stormy daniels in terms of trying to enforce this nondisclosure agreement. but that reporting also put a spotlight on the president as president continuing to direct at least this part of the trump organization's dealings, despite him saying that he of course would step away from his business entirely while he served as president. so "wall street journal" published that reporting on february 2nd. some intriguing questions deriving from that. now tonight emily jane fox at "vanity fair" is corroborating that president trump directed his attorney in february to

cohen. to my right is supervisor sandra fewer, and to my left is supervisor cakathrin stefani. mr. clerk are there any announcements? >>clerk: yes. items acted upon today will appear on the november 13 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise noted. >> president cohen: all right. thank you very much. want to thank jessie larson and matthew ignaio for their assistance today, and again, our clerk today is mr. victor young. mr. young, could you call items number two and three together? >> item 2 is 200 million of special tax bond series 2013 a and b for financing related to the transbay transit center project in 201819. item number three is a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of one or more series of special tax bond for the city and county of san francisco community facilities district 2014-1 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2 million. >> president cohen: thank you. colleagues, we will continue these items to the call of the chair. mr. deputy city attorney, do we need to take public comment on this? we will take public comment on items two and three. seeing none, p

he's invested a lot of time in extracting the truth from mr. cohen. >> do you expect additional indictments any time soon against u.s. citizens? >> yes. >> you want to name names? >> no. well, i don't have names or i would give them to you. but the fact of the matter is, this is obviously something that is going beyond the names of the people that have already been indicted or have already reached plea deals or they wouldn't have invested this time in interviewing them. i believe there will be additional indictments and i believe additional people will be going to jail and i believe it is as a consequence of the intensich interviews he's doing. >> at some point, though, we could see a final report, at least a version of a final report from the special counsel, and sources say that could come as early as december. would submit that report to rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general. rosenstein would have to decide what to do with it. do you worry, though, that mueller is feeling pressured now to wrap-up his investigation prematurely? >> i have neve

manafort and mr. cohennd immunity granted to the chief financial officer at the trump organization and mr. gates. bob mueller would not have struck plea deals with them if they had not made a proffer, in other words showed their cards a little bit, in other words, here is the information i have that might be of use to you. i expect there to be additional indictments before all is said and done. >> i expect there will be as well. thank you, congressman denny heck, for joining us. >> you're welcome, sir. >>> the breaking news continues. we will have more on the surprise resignation of the u.n. ambassador nikki haley and ivanka trump now ruling herself out as a possible replacement. plus, a roger stone aide mounting a constitution challenge against the special counsel robert mueller. will the newest supreme court justice, brett kavanaugh, support his case? bout? well at safelite, we know sooner or later every chip will crack. these friends were on a trip when their windshield got chipped. so they scheduled at

. >> i think mr. cohen answered steve's question right i don't think it's a loigdty issue. i think what mr. cooperman was talking about. he used the word slope we talk about velocity and that is a make issue i think the speed at which some of these things are moving are what give people a lot of concern. and that's when they pull back i'll say it again, guys on twitter are saying hey, look, you only bring up the algorithms when it's going down they work on the upside as well. let's remember there was an uptick rule at one time. that lee brought up yesterday as well, lee cooperman. he talked about the uptick rule. it was in place for a long period of time it was removed since then it's given the computers that much more of an edge >> it's worth noting since they got rid of the uptick rule the markets have done pretty darn good >> keepen eye on the velocity of moves to the down side along with volumes to the down side and i think you're going to look at that picture and say this does have a lot to do with the algorithms and the fact that when you don't have the uptick rule in

that has any unique insight as to what we heard beyond the expressed words of the president and mr. cohen. it looks like there will be a swearing match. >> what is going on with saudi arabia and what the line will be whether it is the senate or whatever. the president said today that he thinks that saudi arabia is getting kavanaugh'd that they're being seen as guilty and have to be proven innocent. with what you no he to this point, do you believe that saudi arabia is getting railroaded here? >> i don't. i think that in every statement the president's made he said we got to get to the bottom of this. the president's been clear that it's a really big problem if senior officials in saudi arabia had any role in the death of this saudi citizen who was a journalist and who should not have feared this type of reprisal. no one should. i was in kbs' home just six days ago in washington, d.c. we were not discussing the one saudi journalist. we were discussing the 3,000 americans who died on 9/11. and i do think that the saudi government in some form and some capacity and some part had a role in th

sophia from the office of mr. cohen. the dogpatch public realm, which was built over the last 18 months, working very closely with district 10 residents and community groups is a model for interagency coordination, new partnerships, and how to serve our residents as our community grows across san francisco. growth projections in the central waterfront could see a quadrupling of housing units and five times the number of people living in the area as there are now. however, public asset that is make a complete neighborhood, such as adequate open space, safe streets, that serve the industrial and residential demands have not kept up with all of the growth. this plan is a fantastic overview for the future of the dogpatch, reflecting the rich history of the neighborhood and planning for the monumental growth that is coming. notably, this plan considers much-needed infrastructure investments, creating a comprehensive plan to connect pier 70 and other large-scale projects coming online. retaining and supporting p.d.r. businesse

mr. cohen? >> commissioners, peter cohen, counsel of community housing organizations. i wasn't intending to speak on the item, but just to reiterate that, you know, one of the frustrating issues that this project continues to expose is how badly san francisco got hammered by a state bill two years ago that created the change in state density bonus law, which because of a unique set of circumstances intersects but cuts san francisco's inclusionary requirements. i haven't talked to anyone in an elected position or on this commission or even advocates that think that this is a good thing. there's no fix because it's grandfathered, and it pains me to think that this sponsor is capitalizing on this grandfathering. new projects going forward are at least levelled by paying the additional fee to makeup for it, but i think this is a sticking point, and i hope it never happens again, and i hope you remember it. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. mr. marti, and if anybody else would like to speak on this, please lineup on the screen side of the room. >> just to add to pe

that has any unique insight as to what we've heard beyond the express words of the president and mr. cohen and it looks like there will be a swearing match there that will continue. >> all right. let's go to something that is certainly more germane to your purview. what's going on with saudi arabia and what the line will be before congress acts, whether it's the senate or you all get together. the president said today that he thinks that saudi arabia is getting kavanaugh'd, that they're being seen as guilty and they're going to have to be proven innocent. with what you know to this point do you believe that saudi arabia is getting railroaded here? >> i don't but i think that in every statement the president's made he said we've got to get to the bottom of it and has been clear it's a big problem if senior officials in saudi arabia had any role in the death of this saudi citizen who was a journalist and who should not have feared this type of reprisal. no one should. i was in kbs's home in washington, d.c. and we were not discussing the one saudi journalist. we were discussing the 3,000 ame

and it looks like mr. cohen is blinking and cooperating. and what is striking about his cooperation is that it appears to be completely voluntary. which means that he's not doing it for any other reason than he wants to do the right thing. and i think that should very much concern donald trump. >> you really believe that his only motivation is quote/unquote, the right thing. do you think that's consistent with michael cohen's public life, career, and legal practice, as it has been exposed through this process? >> he's told a lot of lies in the past, ari, but i've seen as a former prosecutor, it's never too -- it's never too late to ask a witness to, you know, come to terms with the truth and start telling it. and, you know, if they can corroborate what michael cohen is saying, it doesn't matter what his motivation is, but he was fwhb ma was, in many cases, only witness around. there was the trump tower deal that was going on during the primary campaign, where cohen's friend and donald trump's business associate, felix sater, was proposing t

mr. president, what about michael cohen? mr. president, any comment on michael cohen? white house down-played the significance of the two cases, paul manafort's second trial in washington, d.c. loomed. on friday, september 14th with jury selection just days away, a stunning announcement. >> major breaking news this hour in the mueller investigation. president trump's former campaign chairman paul manafort pleading guilty today to two charges. >> paul manafort reached a plea deal with prosecutors agreeing to cooperate fully and truthfully in the special counsel's probe. the former trump insider pleaded guilty to two charges, conspiracy against the united states and conspiracy to obstruct justice. >> the conspiracy against the united states charge encompassed the bank fraud, tax fraud. the obstruction count had to do with his alleged witness tampering more recently where he reached out to witnesses to get them to change their stories. >> it deal required manafort to forfeit ill-gotten gains made through his garage lnt schemes. five new york properties in total, including

researchers found that the statement -- >> supervisor cohen: thank you mr daltrey? >> do we have two minutes or three minutes? >> supervisor cohen: you have two minutes. >> thank you. it says in the agenda we have three. ok. my name is anubis. good evening to madam president and the fellow board of supervisors. i am a san francisco native and i was homeless for six years on the streets of san francisco in the city that i grew up in. i have come here today for the general public comment to talk about homelessness and the attitude that the city seems to have taken towards the homeless population. more than ever, we see that the city is trying to house homeless people but on the same token, it punishes and it criminalizes the homeless population for simply sleeping on the street. i am a person of reason. i understand that people and your constituents have fear of people who commit crimes or perceived to have committed crimes. i understand action seem to be taken when true crimes are committed such as robbery or violent crimes, et cetera. the people should not be crimina

bl [agenda item read] >> president cohen: mr. blum. >> would you like me to speak first? i'm actually speaking on the care site, item number six, would you like to do that -- >> president cohen: both of them have been called together, it doesn't matter which goes first. >> okay. i'll speak to six, and my colleague, john can speak to five. first of all, good morning, good to see you all supervisors, fewer, cohen, and stefani. so i'm asking you to approve a resolution for a grant for hiv or hiv funding for the ryan white part a. san francisco has applied for on a yearly basis and received this for about 30 years. we're one of about 60 geographic areas around the united states that apply for it. as you know there's over 15,000 people living with hiv in san francisco, slightly less than half of them, about 7400 actually touch our public health system at one point or another, and well over 3,000 get primary care services. the amount requested is 105% of last year's application, which is the maximum we're allowed to apply for. over the last 30 years, we've received some cuts, so

. >> mr. cohenhe invitation to be here, and our association is the largest non-profit association of public safety communications

you need to turn it down, go back, and fix it. >> president cohen: mr. elberling, i assure you, the tail ain't wagging the dog here. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors. my name is david rossla, i live in the shipyard with my wife and two children, and we've been in the district ten for about ten years, and the shipyard about three years. i don't think this project is appropriate at all for the neighborhood. i don't think that this set aside for housing is appropriate for the neighborhood. it looks at 20% of the 25% that will be set aside will require an income of $100,000 for more to qualify for that housing. i don't think that's appropriate for the neighborhood at all. i -- i think back to geary street, embarcadero freeway, that cutoff the city from the water, and geary street, which cut fillmore in half, and that is what this project reminds me of. this is going to substantively change the nature of hunters point-bayview. where does the steel-glass wave end? where do we stop it? because this is not for the community and this is not why i moved to hunt

cohen: okay, thank you. madam clerk, can you please start mr. lee's time? thank you. >> president cohen and members of the board, my name is michael lee and i'm the planning department's eir coordinator for the india basin mixed-use project. the item before you is the appeal of planning commission's certification of the india basin eir. the commission certified the eir and approved the project on july 26th, 2018. the two appeals were filed. the first appeal was filed by archimedes banya sf and 748 innes avenue hoa and the second by greenaction. as stated in the department's september 17th appeal response and september 21st supplemental appeal response, the india basin eir is adequate, accurate, and complete, and it complies with ceqa, the ceqa guidelines, and chapter 31 of the san francisco administrative code. the department has addressed all of the issues raised in the appeal in our appeal response and supplemental appeal response. i'll briefly highlight some of the issues mentioned by the appellants today and the department's responses to the appellants'
