mr. jordan, alluded to many of them in his remarks. and i am hopeful, that next budget season, we will be able to have a little bit more of a con size and thoughtful budgetary session that we can advocate and allocate dollars. from a budget or a policy perspective and the number one budget that this body produces, is the budget, itself. so, as a representative of the mayor's office we certainly have talked about this, and about the commitment and we also acknowledged that there have been several reports made about the status of the african community here in san francisco. and the way that i see it is that we have already identified the problems, now it is about figuring out the ways ta implement many of these recommendations that have come forth from documents such as the unfinished agenda, and there is very little that has changed from the 80s from the late 90s and to where we are here today and so from my perspective and i am going to go out on the limit and thank supervisor breed and i are pretty much on the same page and that we se

mr. jordan mentioned, we think that we could utilize an equity lens as we look at the transient tax goes forward and we are in conversations with the mayor's office of how we can think about a budget that was just signed, and where those dollars are going and how we are really looking at our budget through a racial equity lens and we think that there can be dedicated resource and many of these things are cost neutral to expand the type of partnerships, and it takes time and resources to share information, on a legislative approach, and we think that the small business growth is critical and that there is an opportunity to think about the entrepreneur, and i know that there may be public comment about that and the sf travel which is really the supervisors created for the expansion, has really expanded, the tourism growth in the city of fung and we think that they have the models are really successful and of course, the third rail is proposition 209 and we think that the supervisors could really take a look at that in this climate now in san

mr. jordan paul i didn't he started with the commission a week ago as our new executive we're at full staffing finally so jordan has been out on the street one weekend and we've been in the office a few days and shawn burke is his immediate supervisor and trainer and i just want to welcome him and if - he'll speak about the activities on the weekend but you want to say anything? you need to do that into the microphone and hello, i'm glad to be part of the team >> welcome broad. >> that was a long time in coming i'm sure you're aware of so then lastly just relate to the public comment commissioner lee did get approved from the rules committee on thursday but he has to pass the phone bill as well as leon frost is he here oh, there he is i don't remember is it lieutenant it was okay. i'm bad at ranks but lieutenant ross retired will be joining us after commissioner campagnoli last meeting this evening he has to go in addition through the board the 30th of july is the date that the mayor's office will be swearing if all goes well at the board of supervisors he'll be sitting at our august meeting.

mr. jordan and the chamber, because the foundation, is our fiscal sponsor to our project. our project is the san francisco veteran's mural project. and including these districts and the americans and our cities, and everyone here failed to mention it, and the tender loin, to 15 to 18 percent population, and i created that in the community, and over 3 and a half years ago. and it became a project. and the project today is recognized worldwide, as the very significant project here, in the city of san francisco. and we have petitioned to have the street, officially changed to veteran's alley and we generate a lot of income for the community of the tender loin, just via the tours that we actually conduct, with that is the positive work that is coming out of the tender loin and the strides that have been made with that project and us, and i am only out here to show you the support from the chamber, and to go and be aware of what has been happening there. >> thank you. >> i think that one thing that is absolutely critical, when we are talk about the african community, and we are

mr. jordan, question other employees of the irs because of their political giving. well, mr.george was a republican staff member of this committee. he's given political contributions to republican candidates. he's a bush appointee and met solely with the republican side of the aisle in getting ready for his audit. that raises serious questions. if it's sauce for the goose, it's sauce for the gander about his independence. but this is a critical piece of information it seems to me, and i cannot imagine you would be copacetic. with its elimination from an audit report that's critical for your organization and indeed for your leadership. >> it's an interesting piece of information that obviously is useful for people to review. as i've said, i do have confidence in mr. george that he's independent. he actually is the treasury department inspector for irs. and we've supported him in the past. i think he is doing an independent review of all of this, and i look forward to his response and findings about what happened with regard to the hard drive crash. >> well, how about, and as a

mr. jordan? i'll take you down to booking and get you fingerprinted. your picture taken. >> jordan's stay at the jail is likely to be a short one. he is awaiting extradition on charges of armed robbery and attempted murder. >> so whenever they come, i should be back to indiana. that's about all i know right now. >> jordan says that his outburst is still a mystery to him. in meeting with mental health staff, jordan insisted he had not taken any drugs that day. but he appeared unsure when asked if his actions were real or not. >> it was kind of a mind trip within a mind trip of myself. do i want to act crazy, you know, to get myself out of it, you know. >> jordan says he had a brain tumor removed as a child and ever since has been subject to blackouts that bring out erratic behavior when under stress. >> my mind tends to shut down and i go into a state of mind where i feel like i'm not conscious. >> jail officials allowed us to show jordan video we shot of his arrival to see how much of it he recalls. >> i'm going to play this for you, okay? and this is y

mr. jordan a minute of my time. >> mr.chairman, one phrase in subparagraph three of article two which has generated much debate is that acting personally or through his subordinates and agents, there is no need to substantiate this phrase by agreeing or disagreeing with the madison superintendency theory because the charges which underlie this phrase are permeated with presidential commands, presidential directions, the president is in charge. the colloquy which gives the greatest clue to this chain of command and the president knowing what his subordinates did is not the testimony of mr. butterfield. we don't have to rely on him. we have an exchange between mr. john mitchell and the gentleman from arkansas. did you ever check to determine whether or not information relayed to you through mr. haldeman was a correct reflection of the president's instructions? mr. mitchell -- there may have been occasions, congressman, that i would have to say that and most all instances that i can recall, mr. haldeman's representations to m

mr. jordan knows, this whatever information he wants in any investigation, he's welcomed to have. >> we'll hold you to that. thank you. >> i thank the chairman and the other member who is do want to do a second round, we will do that. i'll kick back myself. grant it, a lot of the things that were happening was before you were there. when they see some of the spending going on, 50,0 0 dlarsz for a strak trek video. it really irks a lot of folks and i think our constituents. i think the same goes for the targeting. i think that hurts their morale. it's not what you actually knew but what you should have known. clearly, there were people at the seep i don't recall leadership in the irs who knew that the problems were more substantial than when she ind kated to us that you personally knew. so the question is going to be, you know, why did you not know more. and i think that goes into what i and some other folks have raised. and just soo we're clear, i don't want to be lobbying charges that right-hand turn true, here's the transcript from last week's hearings with james cole. the fact that the

destroying the relations with egypt, jordan. what mr. netanyahu will do in the next interview is he says i have no partner because everybody in the middle east has dashed. this government is a government that came to destroy the two-state solution. they came to follow the efforts of mr. kerry and mr. obama and our nine months of negotiations. dictating and not negotiating. now resorting to the destruction and killing fields. wolf, with the irony, they tell we are regrouping. go back to your homes. there are no homes. no neighborhoods. no cities. nothing. total destruction. >> how disappointed are you that president obama and secretary of state kerry in the public statemen statements of the 24 hours defended israel. they said hamas is to blame and not israel. >> well, you know, life is not fair. i think mr. kerry did his best to have a cease-fire. mr. kerry, at 12:30 a.m. on the morning of august 1st, received a phone call from mr. lahti. i was with him in which he told him that hamas is on board and all palestinian factions are on board.

jordan, for purpose of general debate, not to exceed a period of 15 minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i join my colleague, mr. wrangle in thanking you for giving the junior members of this committee the glorious opportunity of sharing the pain of this inquiry. mr. chairman, you are a strong man, and it has not been easy. but we have tried as best we can to give you as much assistance as possible. earlier today, we heard the beginning of the preamble to the constitution of the united states. we, the people. it's a very eloquent beginning. but when that document was completed on the 17th of september, in 1787, i was not included in that we, the people. i felt somehow for many years that george washington and alexander hamilton just left me out by mistake. but through the process of amendment, interpretation and court decision, i have finally been included in we, the people. did i am an inquisitor. and i probably would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that i feel right now. my faith in the constitution is whole. it is complete. it is total.

jordan. [speaking in foreign language] >> thank you, mr. president. we'd like to extend our thanks to mr. feltman for his briefing on the situation in ukraine. jordan expresses its concern, its deep concern in the escalation of the crisis in kraine and the situation there . and jordan reaffirms respect for -- need to respect for the sovereignty of ukraine and the territory and integrity and to not commit any provocative action that would threaten its security and peace. this behavior will only complicate matters in the east of ukraine and impact negatively peace. we call upon all parties to not -- not to resort to military means and to cooperate to reach a peaceful solution based on the charter of the united nations and the rules of international law and all attempts made during the past months, including agreements signed between the two parties. ere's an urgent need to make assistance reach those who need it by the isic and other organizations for humanitarian relief. this assistance must not be politicized. it must remain a humanitarian task to help those who need them. we also reiterat

jordan's bar. i haven't gone in to have a drink, but i think it's significant in our city to have these places. i wanted to agree with something mr. sugaya said about the issue because where the he land is where the roxy is so astronomical and to keep the roxy there, you know probably will not equal what a landowner can get in economic return for getting rid of these places and the gold dust was one of these places. again, i don't know what that is. if there is a little bit of regulatory action as opposed to a lot of regulatory action, but somehow, even if it's just a moratorium to allow a business to maybe initiate some fundraising if it's a non-profit or someway to help. you are talking about june 2015. that's not a very long time between now and then to have a program like this instituted with regulations or not but however it shakes out is not a lot of time to save something like the roxy. the program in london had some regulatory. >> if the subcommittee could at least, obviously that's something to consider. >> if i can just respond to that briefly. in terms of the way we envision, places like the roxy already have protectio

mr. obama needs to go much further. >> isis continues to make gains in syria, destabilizing lebanon and jordan, even into turkey. nearing irbil, the capital of kurdistan. look at what has happened over the last few weeks since this crisis began while the president has continued to say this is an iraqi problem. this is an iraqi problem, but it's a united states problem, and it is a threat to our national security. and i say that with the full backing or the quotes from our director of national intelligence, our secretary of homeland security. the director of the fbi and even the attorney general of the united states. this is turning into as we had predicted for a long time a regional conflict which does pose a threat to the security of the united states of america and launching three strikes around a place where horrible humanitarian crisis is taking place. meanwhile, isis continues to make gains everywhere. yes, it's clearly very, very ineffective to say the least. >> it's been less than two days and three strikes. i don't know, i know you're traveling. you got a chance to hear the president's news conference ye

mr. foley, that we have to do what we have to do. as i said, i would like to work with some of our allies, particularly turkey, jordan, and saudi arabia and some of those areas who have an interest also. we don't want to get caught in the situation where it looks as though we're siding with the shia versus the sunni. that's why it's important to have other countries and other individuals also involved. >> it seems, congressman, that all of these other countries you're mentioning have been tepid, to say the least, about acting and reacting to a threat, which affects them directly and they're kind of looking to us to take the initiative. if these countries aren't willing to step forward, what do we do? is this, for example, congress should be getting involved in? >> well, you know, i think that -- and i hope without saying and not knowing specifically by not having attended any classified briefings recently that behind the scenes there are conversations taking places. it would be hard to see there are not behind the scenes conversations taking place with those nations and nato allies as we speak to make sure it's a concerted effort not

jordan or jerusalem. unlike british prime minister david cameron, mr. obama has no plan, no strategy.spect of well-trained, experienced jihadis returning to the uk on their national passports. cameron is becoming, if you will, the winston churchill of the 21st century. cameron is warning the west of a terrible ideological threat to judeo-christian culture. back then it was fascism. in 1947 churchill warned the west about the soviet union's communism in his famous "iron curtain" speech in missouri. back then we had presidents who paid attention. fdr responded and then ultimately when the japanese attacked in december '41, with war. truman responded with korea. reagan with his evil empire declaration. churchill was appealing to fdr then truman for essential leadership. winston was wise enough to know indispensable and exceptional power when it comes to dealing with these big fights. this is a big fight. the same goes for reagan and thatcher. is there anyone with whom obama has a relationship like reagan had with thatcher? >> he seems isolated and the u.s. seems more isolated than when h
