mr. jacobs, you have three minutes, please. >> thank you. i want to address some of the concerns that were raised both by mr. sanchez and mr. duffy. so the intent of the roof paving area is to support some potted plants and some sculptural pieces in the future, so it really is for aesthetics, there is no intent to occupy that area. we have discussed with the appellant the possibility of lowering the railing to 4 feet, and the intent of that railing really is both for wind screening for plants and for protection for maintenance access. the existing or proposed egress systems wouldn't support a roof deck greater than 499 square feet, so we're limited to the occupiable area on this roof, both by building code and by the parameters of that railing. in terms of the -- the concerns about the common space, the common space is presented as an amenity space for both units in the building. it should provide both workshop area and access to the rear yard so that both units can barbecue and enjoy the garden space, though the intent is the roof deck be pr

mr. jacobs marg. >> thank you, mr. speaker.been reports today the government is willing to degree -- agree the european court of justice arising from brexit as of this would be inconsistent with the previous commitments to be denied. mr. speaker: prime minister. prime minister may: i would say i haven't seen those particular reports. i see quite a few reports about claims about brexit. if they are as he suggested, they are wrong. we have a clear particulars. -- we have been clear in the work they have been doing in the future, the european court of justice does not have jurisdiction. >> thank you, mr. speaker. this week's quality committee report on sexual harassment in public places the use of mdas , recommended, bearing the brunt of budget cuts to services. the quality is stalling in this government. how is the prime minister going to address this? mr. speaker: prime minister. weme minister may: can i say do see women with greater opportunities today. we see more women in the workplace and we see crucially through the work we

mr. jacobs. >> okay. >> thank you. mr. sanchez, anything further? >> thank you. scott sanchez, planning department. you know, we would need to review any ground floor changes to the property to ensure our down rooms compliance and to ensure that there's not illegal units that are created, so it limits the amount of amenities that can be developed on the ground floor, though we can review any revision for compliance with those requirements. if the board's desire is to allow the concrete pavers to remain with some railing, i would ask that the n.s.r. noting that as nonoccupiable space. also i would note that a portion of the pavers are located in the rear yard, so some element of that rear most concrete waiver area is going to be -- paver area is going to be within the rear yard and wouldn't be allowed to be developed. one concern is usually, gardening areas, if you're gardening, that's occupiable area and maybe department of building inspection can elaborate on that, but it does require some regular access to garden, sculpture not so much, but if you're gardening,

mr. jacobs, you can contact me about submitting the revised plans after tomorrow or whenever, okay. thank you. so we will now move onto item number five. this is appeal 18-117, nick skinas versus the department of building inspection with planning department approval. subject property is 15 allison street, protesting the issuance on august 15, 2018 to obtain final inspection. all work is complete. this is application number 2018-0 # 21 2018-08217886, so we will hear from the appellants first. do we have an appellant here? nick skinas? okay. the appellant is not here. is the permit holder here? 15 allison street, appeal 18-117. >> this rarely happens. should we check in the hallway? thank you. >>clerk: we can move onto six, if you want. >> let's just see if they're there or not. >> okay. mr. sanchez will know. >> wow. >> no, mr. sanchez? you know, i might note that this is just a final. why don't you come forward. at least the department can bring forth -- i probably am not interested in continuing -- >> bernie curran, d.b.i. what they're trying to appeal is a final permit, but it's

mr. camden: jacob has a question about politics and political style. >> president trump ran on getting rid of this want in d.c. -- of the swamp. what would you do to heal the damage in our political system? >> it is very important weakened -- important we continue to make reforms and washington, d.c. i tried to work across the aisle and make sure our colleagues understand our ideas are coming from people in washington state. whether we are talking about getting a fix for fire funding or doing something like affordable housing, you have to have the ideas and people in our state. even though we did not necessarily agree on a lot of issues, on this issue we agreed. taking good science and information and making that the basis of our decision-making is the most important thing we can do. ms. hutchison: i don't think that was the intent of the question. i think the question was asking about what is going on in washington, d.c., which gives so much power to special interests and lobbyists. my opponent is a poster child for being a d.c. insider and taking advantage of that insidious relationship

worked in the twin cities and i'm proud of the work i've done here and of myself and my friend, jacob fry. mr. mulcahy: let me ask a question on this broad character issue that came from a listener, when you are facing a tough decision, what personal experience do you use to help you decide what the next step should be? pete stauber? mr. stauber: as a police officer and small business owner, there are tough choices almost on a daily basis. if you go back to your experience, do what is right. experience matters, life experience matters, and as a police officer, for example, in duluth, we had to make instantaneous decisions, and those good decisions to make in those urgent moments, you have to rely on your experience to make them. and when you have experience as a police officer, some of those really immediate, really life-altering decisions have to be made instantaneously. so i go back to my life, the experiences i have been blessed with in my life to make those decisions, mike. joe radinovich? mr. radinovich: i put myself in someone else's shoes. that is easy for me to do because i've dealt w

mrs. maarse, i wish jacob could be here, because i'm sure jacob would throw me out.ut the difference is is that i don't think things would be this way if jacob was here. hank, look, if you continue to do the same thing, your business is gonna close at some point. i know that she can afford to write checks forever because she doesn't want her husband and her name-- >> absolutely. >> okay, mrs. maarse, what i'm telling you is, if you continue to write the checks on a monthly basis, he will never have to fend for himself. he needs someone like me to hold him accountable for poor performance. i don't think you're willing to do that, and i understand why. but i have to tell you that that's not the way to run the business. so i'm gonna give you my offer. >> okay. >> okay? i'm gonna give you a check for 100,000. for this $100,000, i want 25% of the profit so that i'm incentivized to help you grow your business with you side by side. >> i was thinking more of 20%. >> hank, look, my time is valuable. i don't have time to be doing this all night. 25% is really the number that

given grace and very different situation and back story, the voice is very much harriet jacobs voiced. >> host: did mr. marches ideals survived the civil war? >> guest: so that is the question that the reader is left to ponder at the end of the book, it's how is this damage demand going to put his life back together? but hope it ends on a somewhat optimistic note. >> host: used a technique where you had to make first-person voices. >> guest: that was a case of us to return what i needed to do. if you have a first-person narrative, and i do love to first-person narratives because i think it brings the reader very directly into the story, and that voice tells you who the person is and who they are, help you to know how they're going to act and that drives the plot. but the plot in this case is heading to the one thing we know about mr. march's war service commits that he contracted a life-threatening illness and he is lying in one of the makeshift hospitals here in washington, d.c. where they turn every available building into a hospital for the wounded, and the mother of the little women is called to h

jacob lew. i have been waiting for this interview. mrs. robert nardelli.south of louisville at the k what was itpar like? robert: it was amazing. the job market was tight then. offered to join ponderosa steakhouse. tom: there you go. and i wasgot a break a manufacturing engineer on the shop floor in building five. tom: you are boring and did power systems and the financial guys came in. what did the financial engineering guys get wrong as they show to the door? there were a lot of things. when i left and i had the honor of working with jeff welch, was a tremendous friend and mentor and i/o a lot to him and the opportunities at general electric going forward, home depot etc.. we lost the intensity that jack had and the accountability. he talked about, let's have people with energy. tom: financial controls? a positive way. we had responsibility and accountability. we had operating views and attention to detail. ned in theat wa transition from jack to jeff. some of the cornerstones of general electric were gone, appliances on the way out, transportation, nbc

mr. siegl, i understand from reporting both in the houston chronicle and from josh martin's talking points memo, you were on the phone with jacob while he was being detained and basically up until the point he was arrested, essentially conferring with him and trying to advise him through this process. what was that like for you? >> at first i thought it was a joke, you know, that they were just going to ask him a couple questions and let him go. but as it continued further and further and more and more law enforcement officials arrived, i think by the end jacob was surrounded by seven or more deputies and police officers. i realized that we are in a different place, you know. i'm lucky enough to live in austin, texas, and we don't face this kind of repression on a day-to-day basis. but the idea that a simple taking of a picture of delivering a letter would end up being kept in custody for two hours and they put their hands on jacob, they wouldn't let him go. they threatened to hold him for multiple days. i was horrified that they would do this to someone for the simple act of delivering a letter. >> and what's the status of the

trusting jacob wohl to begin with if you're a person who follows donald trump is probably not a good idea. >> it does appear this is an effort, the way mrs conservative website, it's definitely a conspiracy theory promoting pro-trump website 100%. they're also in this media environment, this republican politics environment, they tend to sort of be influential. they start conspiracy theories that other people on the right tend to run with. >> yeah. >> to the extend that this is happening one week before the election, it does appear to be an effort on the far right to launch some sort of october surprise scandal about robert mueller. >> yeah. >> and the question is whether or not it's going to be seen as a scandal about these guys who are trying to do it or whether it will get any traction. >> well, it's so transparentally bad from the get-go, again, the fake celebrities and things like that. jacob is known for this sort of thing. last year he was pushing the migrant caravan conspiracy. you saw what that leads to this weekend, right? and gateway pundit has been down this path millions of times before. there have been trial balloons in the

mr. muscovici. they have many questions on the government's budget goals. one report said they think the eu will reject that budget. what will happen if the eu did reject the italian budget? jacobif they simply reject it out of hand, you have precisely the kind of political fight the current italian government wants with brussels. they feel it gains the political points in italy. the last couple of months proved them right. since this will happen only a few months before the european parliamentary elections in may this is good news for them. any excessive deficit procedure, etc., against italy would be a very lengthy process. they can go ahead with this and have this fight play out in the media, the news headlines, until the european election. that is probably what they would like. i hope the european commission takes a much more cautious approach and perhaps avoids taking an overt fight, even if they cannot accept the italian budget as it's written today. alix: is the same question as brexit for me. not necessarily reflecting the kind of financial pressure that will put the italian government's feet to the fire. shahab: if you look at their projections for italy, you are not l
