mr. lindsey. ms. cook, the dr requester you have 5 min. the other way.thank you. >> commissioner hillis and fellow commissioners, i read the planning guidelines and i believe that my [inaudible] meet the planning guidelines. limit the height to two stories above the garage them at two stories will be compatible with the neighborhood particularly with the scale of the east-west alley. the door height being lower than its opposite neighbor which matches the topography of the block. no penthouse on the top of the historic carriage house because the lot is a half lot and it's really actually too close-yes, it's too close to my house and it invades my privacy. the house remains a single-family dwelling and the historic gabled roof is preserved. the façade of glands with the other victorian homes located along be alley. those are my request. a bit of background. 16 .5 years ago my parents purchased the victorian home for 66 oak st. which included 471 hickory. the house was old it takes her upper no foundation get cracked plaster walls and decayed parapets and

mr. lindsey is only one in this type of construction what are the window materials we're using on the front facing facade i see aluminum windows is that typical i believe that from my preference i want to see strongly as expressed heavier window frame in order to tie it more into what was happening on the adjoining building can you help me out. >> yes. commissioner moore it is david listency staff the proposed windows are painted aluminum in this the residential design guidelines thought appropriate certainly in the commission wished to have some greater framing are depth or something we can work with them on that. >> i like to hear others to speak to that in principle i find the modern facade expression proportion al at to tie the building back to the building on the block i wouldn't mind so see a slightly more traditional inputcy or frame expression. >> i've - get the architect talk about what they're thinking. >> michael the architect so commissioner moore we the traditional windows typically found in the city were wood windows typically when new wood windows come in their aluminum clad

mr. lindsey and everybody else's concern about canopy over the kitchen can it be here or there.t can spirit we are too steep a grade as the architect said to gain any basement level space for living and with that kind of having been considered, i believe that the office space might have to go. >> commissioner richards >> so where commissioner moore was coming from if you did not have the office on the fourth floor new of three bedrooms, you be able to have an office in one of the bedrooms at this point in your life. >> may i >> yes., please >> a two-part response to that. as of this very moment perhaps, although the house does not exist yet beyond that i'd like to suggest that my family planning decisions are not something i want to put in public record at a commission hearing but i believe they will see in the design that is designed to be a family-owned and my intention is to have a family there. i work from home so the office was importance. the office on the top story represents a deliberate allocation of space to the bedrooms all quite small and i was done to sort of make s

mr. lindsey. >> also another dr requester. >> i'm talking about the next door houses. >> oh, i have thatvailable if you want to see it. >> that's fine thank you very much. >> that's it. >> okay rebuttal from the permit holders. >> thank you commissioner honda the appellants raised the same issues regarding notice of the planning commission hearing which i believe there were 3 dr applicants present and the planning commission found no merit. >> i'm sorry you can't speak. >> the dr hearings has been over for a year i'm not sure why they're raising this stage in addition the appellant is only one of the 3 dr applicants that filed an appeal presuming from the other dr applicants have an issue of the notice they'll file an appeal as far as the, there was a 3 unit, 2 unit merger 10 or 12 years ago and so currently the building is two units they have straight doorways and kitchens and separate bedrooms so forth i've been at two different inspections because the appellants called have called the well the to inspect and i've been at the folks house twice and both times the planners found to the u

lindsey. >> thank you mr. chairman. i appreciate you scheduling this meeting. i know you know you have already delayed part of it once. i think this is unconscionable. there are a number of us that are also on the health committee and the markup is simultaneous there on secretary of education. i'll be leaving shortly to go to see if it is the same results. a person's always been allowed of president has always been allowed to have his cabinet approved. it takes a little while, usually not much longer than this. but it looks like it is going to be considerably longer. i do have a statement on the secretary and congressman price. which i will wait until there is an audience for, i guess or an appropriate time to put it in the record. i'm just as disappointed over secretary nominee price who i worked with for the last two years. a lot of what we have had to work with has been in the healthcare areas. areas he would be in charge of. he knows them because he is a dr.. that might be why some people fear him. he has good knowledge of the medical field. he will be work

mr. hohmann: john mccain, lindsey graham, couple of others supporting legislation this week to codify these sanctions into law so that trump can't roll them back. do you think that's going to happen? do you think it is going to end up getting killed or not getting floor time? because obviously that would reassure a lot of our eastern european allies who are worried about trump being so wobbly on this issue. senator murphy: i mean, you know, john and lindsey have been fantastic, but their influence has, you know, not grown outside of the two of them in a sense that there have not been other republicans willing to join on. and corker, senator corker, has not shown a willingness to bring this legislation to the foreign relations committee. so, i am not terribly optimistic today that that legislation is going to come before the senate. i think it will be interesting next weekend, you will have the first major international security conference in munich, looks like there will be fairly robust representation from the trump administration. and it will be interesting to see what commitments pence a

mr. trump did not do. lindsey graham never brings it up.that's okay.ight with us, do not fight with americans who cannot punch back. don't punch down, punch up. touch of the network, at vested power on wall street, the russians, syrians, don't punch americans. i think if he does that he can hit the key of we even if it is a little off tempo. >> a little flat. i got the donald trump trigger treatment as well. >> you did? >> people don't like not being in that class. >> really? >> okay well he called me a loser. >> well i am low rated so you're a loser and i am low rated. nobody listens to your show. >> it is a remarkable time. so when did you decide that donald trump was going to get your vote? because i know you interviewed him more than a dozen times and i need told to quit the race at least once on twitter. when did you get to the place where you said, this is who i am voting for? >> the history is never interesting to anyone but me. but i was at switzerland through the whole campaign.i did 170 interviews because i was doing the debates and you have

mr. donald trump did and lindsey graham brings that up. very funny. that's okay we're supposed to take the tight, fight with us "don't ask, don't tell" fight with americans who aren't -- can't punch back. punch up at the network, punch up at vested power and wall street punch up at the russian, syrian not americans. i think if he does that, he can hit the key to we even if it is a little off tempo. >> a little flat. [laughter] >> i got the twitter treatment as well. >> so you got a trump tattoo. >> a badge of honor. >> people don't like not being in that class. [laughter] okay he called me a loser -- >> well i'm low rated so we're -- >> fired quite a while ago according to him. >> funny it's a remarkable time. when did you decide that donald trump could get your vote and you told him to quit the race at least once on twitter. when did you get to the place where you said this is who i'm voting for? >> the history is not very interesting to anyone but me. buttives switzerland to the whole campaign 170 interviews with republican candidates because i was

lindsey graham saying knock it off, mr. president. all of them saying this.t would be great is if those same republicans turned to the states that they are from and said and for that reason, we need to stop creating barriers to people being annual to vote. we need to stop this march towards more and more restrictive voter i.d., we need to advance early voting, we need same day renlg strarks we need automatic registration. rather than simply denounce mr. trump's lie and i'm glad they're doing it, it would be great if they also turned to their states and denounced voter suppression efforts in their states. they're getting voter suppression efforts in their states and they get to call out the president's lie about massive voter fraud. i'd like to see consistency there. >> and isn't that really the problem here, for republicans you have two different plilolitl incentiv incentives. they want to defend their own election and president trump's lakes, but at the same time, voter suppression helps them. >> and we're seeing the impact of trump's lies will voter fraud.

republican senator lindsey graham delivering a prespeech message, don't value expediency over history. >> mr. president, stick to your guns. we will be judged by what we do, not how quickly we do it. lana: oter will pay for the proposals. particularly, obamacare. >> coming in with a net tax increase and a federal entitlen't program -- entitlement program, that is your first big move and then we have to do tax reform after that in a republican conference? good luck. >> president trump expected to ask congress to make major cuts to foreign aid and the environmental protection agency. the funds are delivered to military spending boosting it by 10%. on top of that the president called for trillion-dollar investment in infrastructure and a massive border wall. congress has not been presented with details on how it will be funded. the issues are likely focus of the democrat response. so-called dreamer and immigration advocate will join steve beshear to give the democratic response. for his part the president sees this as an opportunity to persuade congress as well as the american people. he was as

mr. puzder, who happens to be from st. louis, for trying. we have to straighten up the senate. we are going to try to get over lindsey graham and senator mccain, who are disgrace to the party. it's really sad. you know how long the republicans have been a minority in my lifetime? the whole time, almost. the -- one ofof the republicans thcame out against the nomination of andrew puzder was tim scott. sterday he put out his statement as to why. "i was impressed by the direction that he wanted to take the department of labor, but as revelations came out about illegal immigration and comments regarding the american workforce can to light, developed serious concerns and i share those concerns with senate leadership and chairman alexander and i look forward to working with a new nominee to lead the departmenof labor and focusing on the priorities of the people of south carolina, such as apprenticeships and workforce training." that was timcott, a member of the committee that andrew puzder 's nomination was moving through. marissa, democratic line, good morning. caller: we need you guys more now than ever. i'm so grateful.

lindsey graham saying knock it off, mr. president. all of them saying this. is if those same republicans turned to the states that they are from and said and for that reason, we need to stop creating barriers to people being able to vote. we need to stop this march towards more and more restrictive voter i.d. we need to advance early voting. we need same-day registration. we need automatic registration. rather than simply denounce mr. trump's lie, and i'm glad that they're doing it, it would be great if they also turned to their states and denounced voter suppression efforts happening in their states. they're getting the best of both worlds this way. they're getting voter suppression efforts in their states that they believe benefit them and the people that likely support them and discriminate against minority voters and they get to call out the president's lie about massive voter fraud. i'd like to see consistency there. >> ari, isn't that really the problem here, for republicans you've got two different incentives. they want to defend their own election and

mr. speaker, does the foreign secretary welcome the joint statement by senators john mccain and lindsey graham expressing their fear that this executive order will be a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism? >> i'm grateful to my right. i think it shows a lively debate on capitol hill as it is here in this house. i repeat it's something we do not support and not that we agree with and there are others in the u.s. who don't agree either. >> mr. speaker, i fithank the foreign secretary for his advanced statement. on holocaust memorial day, president trump voted to ban muslims from the seven countries from entering the u.s. as bad dudes and fleeing the conflict in syria. this action is inhumane, racist and immoral. i welcome the fact, mr. speaker, this house is now treating caused by president trump with the seriousness it deserves. we on these benches would support the strong statements made by scotland's first minister and welcome whork already been done by so many. you can learn some lessons from scotland's first minister and tribute to the work by so many in scotland, particular

mr. the federal judiciary disheartening and demoralizing. asked about the judge's sentiment, republican senator lindsey graham said, i think that was an honest answer, so good for the judge. >> as for the restrictions, sean spicer said terrorism concerns validate the move. >> there's some criticism that have come over to this country and convicted of charges of terrorism. >> they're representative of people who targeted or intend to target americans either inside or outside of the u.s. many are naturalized citizens who later became radicalized. moments ago president trump tweeted. senator richard blumenthal who never fought in vietnam when he said for years lie, now misrepresents what judge gorsuch told him? it just leaves the question hanging out there. >> senate democrats say judge gorsu gorsuch's criticism of the president may not be enough to get them to vote yes on his nomination. jan crawford looks at the context behind gorsuch's remarks. good morning. >> good morning. in an interview after the meeting, bloom enthaul said gorsuch's concerns weren't going to be enough to sway his votes and he suggested gour such should make his comments

lindsey graham. sen. graham: thank you. to the protesters, i'm a lawyer. cheap, but you get what you pay for. speaking of lawyers. mr. friedman is described as a dealmaking and cropsey lawyer, and also a very good trial lawyer. i can't think of a better choice to go to the middle east than a bankruptcy lawyer, except maybe a divorce lawyer. i haven't known mr. friedman that long, personally, but i've known him by reputation as being a very passionate supporter of the state of israel. think,dy here, i deserves to be described as pro-israel. having said that, that doesn't mean we can't disagree as to what that means. i think most of us agree that has 20 resolutions against israel for their settlement policy and six against the world at large, they've sort of lost their way. but i think it is ok to tell israel, be careful about settlements. the president said that. i think a lot of us would agree that israel is the only democracy in a very troubled region and they are not beyond criticism. you can be pro-israel and criticize the government or the policies of any particular government. that is what makes us a unique frie

lindsey graham, john mccain, people chomping at the bit on this topic now feel as if -- okay, you know what, no more mr. nice guy. >> the senate is where republican resistance to donald trump, their own president from their own party was going to originate. this probably happened a lot quicker than mitch mcconnell and the republican senators thought it would. look, the fact of the matter is that concerns about russia, concerns about trump and his administrations closeness with vladimir putin, their softer views on russia, they are different from where the republican party is particularly in the senate. so this is where you're going to see it conflict. i don't think they're relishing getting into this, but this is an issue where unlike say other issues where -- trade, immigration, where trump deviates. this is one place where senate republicans to want have this fight. >> and cornell, i think the white house's problem is t mike pence situation. it looks like tha he was deliberately kept in the dark. and he is the security blanket for all those congressional republicans. like, all those congressional rep

lindsey graham and others have called for an investigation. now it's time for the house republican leadership to do the same and for mr. chaffetz to initiate this investigation in the house oversight committee. we need a full, transparent accounting of what happened. obviously, we need to closely guard sources and methods and classified information as appropriate, but you have to understand, you know this, more than half this country is now skeptical about the relationship between the trump administration and the russian government. what's happened recently with general flynn only adds fuel to the fire of all the conspiracy theories that are abounding. we need sun light on this situation. transparency. and that's why we need an oversight investigation. >> congressman, thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >>> coming up next, we'll hear from the family fearing an immigration hearing set for this morp t morning. the mother weighs her options. what if she decides not to show up for that aponpointment and wt her case means for others in similar situations. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis isn't it time to le

mr. trump's recent comments about the federal judiciary disheartening and demoralizing. asked about the judge's sentiment, south carolina republican senator lindseyraham said i think that was probably an honest answer, good for the judge. as for the order, white house press secretary sean spicer says terrorism concerns validate the move. >> there's at least 20-some-odd people through the last ten years who have come into this country and been convicted or charged with acts of terrorism. >> reporter: the white house says represents people who have targeted or intend to target americans either ian side or outside the u.s. many are naturalized u.s. citizens who later become radicalized. moments ago on twitter president trump took on this controversy about judge gorsuch's remarks and tweeted as follows, let me quote it directly. senator richard blumenthal who never fought in vietnam when he said for years he had, major lie, now misrepresents what judge gorsuch told him, question mark. anthony, the president does not assert it was a misrepresentation, just leaves the question hanging out there. >> major, thank you. >>> some senate democrats say judge

lindsey graham. >> to the protesters, i'm a lawyer, you probably get what you pay for. speaking of lawyers, mr. friedman is described as a deal making bankruptcy lawyer and also a very good trial lawyer. i can't think of a better choice to go to the mid east than a bankruptcy lawyer except maybe a divorce lawyer. i haven't known mr. friedman that long personally but i have known him by reputation as being a very passionate supporter of the state of israel. everybody up here i think deserves to be described as pro israel. having said that, that doesn't mean we can't disagree as to what that means. i think most of us agree that when the u.n. has 20 resolutions against israel for their settlement policy and six against the world at large they sort of lost their way. i think it is okay to tell israel be careful about settlements. the president said that. i think a lot of us would agree that israel is the only democracy in a really troubled region and are not beyond criticism. you can be pro israel and criticize the policies in a particular government. i understand that and that is what makes us a u

mr. hoyer, amused yer, and i get when i hear democrats quoting senator mccain and senator . aham, wonderful people lindsey graham, it is a real joy to be around talking to lindsey graham, but if you look at positions they have taken, it would make you think twice about quoting them as positions you wanted to have supporting yours. i mean, nothing stands taller than the 30 million of the 90 million or so living in egypt, when they rose up that june cause a muslim brother was seizing power. he was on his way to becoming a chavez in the -- in north africa, and the people rose up. it was not only the largest peaceful demonstration in the history of the world, it was the largest demonstration in the history of the world. all over egypt moderate muslims, christians, jews, secularrists, they all rose up, went to the streets, and demanded the removal of the man who would be king, the muslim brother named morsi. the difference in this king is, as many of the egyptians have pointed out when i have been in cairo and other places, he wasn't just going to be king, he was going to be the puppet spiritual leader of slam
