one thing course he hadn't learned most of those piano sonatas until he was seventeen as it says mr lee and if you see him doing those sonata as an addition to the program as a conductor here on this it's all really not explainable. he's someone who comes out strongly for these situation where as hell he wants this institution to move forward when finding and he always sees the whole picture and thinks the whole thing through of the institutes on him and that is something very special get. and it's not. and this is a first for us. to listen up if. on october third two thousand and seventeen the long awaited reopening of the start over was celebrated with scenes from get just faust and the audience celebrated daniel barenboim and this particular. was it is the business surely the visit of music is the best school we've all experienced that we fall in love and we automatically lose all sense of discipline . because. for example you can't make music only with passion. and you can't make music only with reason. it is this coexistence sometimes tension filled minds of passion and discipline.

mr. mayor. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor ronen and then supervisor lee. >> councillor ronen: i also wanted to share my deepest condolences to his family and say my work with the mayor was one of most surprising things that happened to me since i became supervisor. we all know how entrenched we become on our political sides of the aisle and when i was running for supervisor i was very negative about the mayor and his leadership. so to his credit, the minute i became supervisor and came to him and said, i want to work with you really closely hand in hand on homelessness in my district, which is such a crisis, he never held my words against me. he never hesitated. he said, yes, let's do this. let's work together. and kept his word every single step of the way. when carolyn, my chief of staff and i, would meet with him each month, we had such good meetings with him and every single time i would walk out of his office saying, how crazy is it that by one of my closest allies in city hall is the mayor of san francisco. and that we agree on how to address this i

mr. ed lee. i've been knowing mr. ed lee longer than anybody that's been talking about him.olitics. i knew him when he was -- came -- jesse jackson flew into town. he and maple tang was with the rainbow coalition. at that time i was the executive director of the way pac area project committee, which is the most powerful black organization in the united states. it was the first p.a.c. that fought against the urban renewal and justice herman. and ironically i'm reading in the paper today, there is some real estate guy and talk about having fake news, al term tiff news, talk about a real estate guy that wants to try to rename justin herman after ed lee. now i respect ed lee. but o to the hell to the no because the stories haven't come out about ed lee yet. not one black official except for london b who i call queen b and willie brown had anything to say good or bad about ed lee. but i am giving respect until they bury the man because i know his kids to talk about the real ed lee that knows me, a.c.e. i'm here basically to this agency, i very much respect y'all and make sure we

this is a game changer, guys, what did you think, mr. lee? >> interesting deal here.e deal. 93 billion if you include the overseas assets and the debt but leaves a lot of question marks, like why is disney doubling down on legacy media and cable assets? why aren't they aggressively going forward with the rest of the world? there's a ton of questions as to whether or not this deal will get done. by buying fx and the regional sports networks, what they're looking to do is doubling down for pricing power on the albatross that is espn, dragging the stock down and drags the price higher and everybody's cable bills, making it harder for skinny bundles. liz: interesting. the futures about live tv, about streaming, what do you see here in terms of the media industry? >> this is a great buy for disney. one of the things -- last time disney made a new high in stock was august of 2015. it's a very long time ago. remember the market's been bullish since the election, disney ran up $4, it's a buy today, it's a buy tomorrow. if this goes through, disney could go to 150 in the next
