mr. mark gonzalez. mr. gonzalez, welcome. >> hello. thank you for having me here. i was born in san francisco. my parents were born in san francisco. my european ancestors came to california in the 1700s. my indian ancestors came over thousands of years ago. when we think about the status of the rivers in california, we have to consider what we have done over the last 150 years. i know we're not going to restore it to that degree, but this is an opportunity as a population of caring people to take a step in restoring what has been taken. if you look at the populations from 50 years ago to today, what's the answer -- drastic reduction. what has been done? there's been some mitigation. but the research shows that the necessary river flows keeps more fish in the river in a healthier state. so that's an important consideration when you make this consideration. and peter would like to thank you for the time. >> president kwon: thank you. any other general public comment? yes, sir. >> let me make a couple of comments, if i might. first of all, i think that this is not th

mr. president. chief gonzalezyou talk little bit about confined space rescue and tie that in with there being no height restrictions for recruits into the department? >> i have restriction. there are no height restrictions. old days, it used to be how tall they have to be to get in the truck. 5'8". there used to be restrictions in that regard. >> commissioner covington: not everybody -- you can do the job and the chief of the departments downing the job -- >> what you're getting at. historically someone thought as a firefighter, the idea firefighters are strapping 6'4" male. we've seen time after time. depending on the nation we're responding to, sometimes the smaller statues ups it through a window. we'll serve that purpose much better. >> i understand you have photos. >> yes ma'am. i was just doing little recruitment plug there. if you've 5'5" and healthy, you can go for it by all means. >> commissioner covington: i want to thank chief for showing me around on inauguration day and reviewing the action plan with

mr. gonzalez.y problem with the democrats as they run like they are between a democrat and a republican. i understand they will run on health care and things of this nature, but in order to capture, to really have a way, they have to start running like democrats. to concede the issue of decency, and things that real democrats are coming out here to learn about. democrats are not talking about it, and that is ridiculous to me. if you have corruption going on in the white house and the democrats are constantly talking about health care and pocketbook issues, ok. that might sell to a certain point, but you can't ignore the elephant in the room. it seems like the democrats run these stupid campaigns were they do that every election. and we're not sure if we are really democrats who might get republican -- did me a break. host: thank you, we will be that there. guest: jimmy is not alone in that line of thinking. this is what we are hearing from the liberal or progressive wing and the party, that the ans

next three speakers, michael adams, fred mohime, and mark gonzalez. so mr.ms, welcome. >> thank you very much. michael adams with the small grassroots group city college first coalition, one of several groups springing up to try to address the potential for transferring the balboa reservoir, which we call the west parking lot, to private developers, at great consequences, negative consequences, to students and neighborhoods. during previous moves to put housing in that reservoir, serious concerns were raised about the safety of the basin, especially involving fire and drought situations. no one is addressing this as it's already a basin, which never had water in it, but the potential is there. all parties involved have publicly admitted that no research has been done current and future ridership needs of the 20,000 students a day that attend city college's main campus and need to get to their classes ontime, to say nothing about professors that have to move from site to site and need their cars. muni is great, but it's often late. they had voted to finish th

mr. jiggles is a great fan. topic number five. finally we head down to austin, texas where a man did the unthinkable. he tried to rob a store without a gun. david garcia gonzaleze with a pair of salad tongs. you have got to know better than to rob a texas store without a gun. he's lucky he didn't get shot by someone's great grandma. he was charged with robbery by threat. the restaurant has seized his vehicle and they are using it to make deliveries. the only problem is all the stoners ordering burger deliveries say this man is from fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? a hotel can make or break a trip. and at expedia, we don't think you should be rushed into booking one. that's why we created expedia's add-on advantage. now after booking your flight, you unlock discounts on select hotels right until the day you leave. ♪ add-on a
