mr. lindsey knows what to do. >> i would need some guidance from you, commissioner. i -- these stairs to me are separate from the -- >> commissioner moore: it would mean that the unit itself cannot be accessed from the mud room but can only take the external access and the one from the garden. >> well, there's a door. you can either access a mud room. >> president hillis: or the exterior. >> commissioner moore: three entrances right now to the unit. one from the mud room, one from the exterior, and one from the -- from the rear yard, from the terrace now? >> vice president richards: you could eliminate the mud room entrance. >> you could eliminate the entrance into the mud room. >> president hillis: why are we doing that? >> commissioner moore: in order to create the proper separation that units need to be counted as separate units because if you don't do that, you can always connect the building and make it one home without it being -- two independent units. >> but you could always do that by just putting a door in there, also. >> they've got a renter who's been ren

mr. lindsey? >> are we looking at greenwich? >> commissioner moore: we are looking at what i think is greenwich -- no, i'm on the wrong building. sorry. my sheets got -- my sheets got turned around. i am so sorry. >> clerk: commissioners, if i could -- sorry, interrupt. at the last time we heard this hearing, president hillis was absent, and commissioner johnson was not yet appointed to this commission. in order to proceed, please acknowledge you reviewed the materials from the previous hearing. thank you. >> president hillis: all right. commissioner moore, do you have questions on this? >> commissioner moore: no. >> president hillis: so does someone want to make a motion and take d.r. as advised? commissioner richards? >> vice president richards: move to take d.r. and approve the project as revised. >> second. >> clerk: commissioners, there is a motion and a second. one second...to take d.r. and approve the project as revised. on that motion -- [ roll call. ] >> clerk: so moved. that motion passes unanimously, 7-0. >> president

senator lindsey graham said if mr.ust mueller, it would be the beginning of the end of his presidency. >>> california's first driverless buses started running this month in san ramon. that's near san francisco. the electric shuttles carry 12 people and john blackstone climbed aboard. >> reporter: most driverless cars being tested in america still require a human ready to grab the wheel or hit the brakes if technology fails, but the shuttle bus making its way through san ramon, california, has no driver, no steering wheel, no brake pedal. it's the first completely driverless vehicle lie sensed to operate on public roads in california. for randy iwasaki, the head of the county transportation authority, this is an exciting ride indeed. >> this is a first. we're on the public streets. >> this is my first time after working for months trying to get a license to be on the public streets. this is pretty cool. >> this is the way you foresee citizens getting around. >> reporter: he sees autonomous mobile as way to get around tr

a lot of people have read into that lindsey graham was among those saying you do that, mr. ent, you fire that guy at the beginning, it's the end of your presidency. do you buy that? there maybe lindsey graham talked to the president personally. i did. it's not come up in option, even a consideration. >> neil: if he did, would you be worried about that? >> that's a hypothetical. i think we need to let the mueller investigation come to a close. in north carolina, i just came back. at what point do we go on and be serious about the agenda that truly this president campaigned on in november? so i think you know, it's growing old on the american people. may be a good talking point for democrats, but it's certainly not resonating back home. >> neil: i know you have the spending measure you're looking at now. this could be easily completed or complicated here. it comes at a time when the president is upping the trade war ante to hear the german finance minister in the united states a couple days, be careful for what you wish for. this could get out of control is. he right? is that

. >> do you share of words of lindsey graham who said this? >> the only reason mr. mueller could ever be dismissed is for cause. i see no cause when it comes to mr. mueller. he needs to be able to do his job. pledged to the american people as a republican to make sure mr. mueller can continue to do his job without any interference. >> are you worried that the president is preparing to fire robert mueller? it looks though from his tweets. >> as i said, if he does, it will be beginning of the end of his presidency. >> do you agree? >> yes, you do. i don't think the president is really considering firing mr. mueller. this is the president trying to defiend the terms of the conversation surrounding this investigation and if you think about it, it's also the president trying to devise the parameters of the interview that the director seems to be looking for. >> do you think the president is going to sit down with bob mueller? >> i wouldn't advise it. i hope he doesn't. but i think he looks like he wants to. that's going to be a situation fraught with peril but one the pr

mr. gates: a lot more voters than seats my plane. and absolutely getting members of congress to go see this work. people like lindsey graham are very active at encouraging his colleagues to go out and see. i think that is why many elements of foreign aid continue to have this very strong response. it did not stop a budget proposal from having potential cuts. the congress did not consider seriously cutting that money. they did not have the commitment to it. >> are you concerned about the america first rhetoric? it's what your whole mission in the world is these days. mr. gates: i don't agree with the american first rhetoric. i think the alliances we built over time and the help we provide the countries, lifting them, starting with the marshall plan, in supporting the united nations and the bilateral things we do, we have made the world a more stable place. and i think that's a good just from a pure humanitarian point of view. i think foreign-made, because -- i do think that foreign aid because the budget is so small, , we pick things that are so effective that even if it benefits americans, and don't want to have to

lindsey graham down. he's turned him into the most tired baby sitter. no crayons on the furniture. please reconsider your position. ( laughter ) thank you for having me on, wolf. mrpresident, please don't impose the tariffs. it'sing on only amount of time before lobbyists put agendas inside happy meals -- cocoa, the deregulating panda! ( laughter ) i'm not surprised they're pulling out stops to sway trump. you see, economists warned starting a trade war could increase the cost of living for americans across the board. although, according to wilbur ross, commerce secretary and living werther's original the impact won't be so bad. >> i would like to emphasize the limited impact. in a can of campbell's soup, 2.6 pennies worth of steel. so if that goes up by 25%, that's about 6/10 of one cent on the price of a can of campbell's soup. well, i just bought this can today at a 7-eleven down here, and the price was $1.99. so who in the world is going to be too bothered by 6/10 of a cent? >> trevor: he's so cute! ( laughter ) he's like a white ben carson over here. can you imagine him and ben carson having a conversation together? would last forever. it would be, like, hav

it's notjust the usual critics but members of mr trump's own party who are speaking out against the decision. here was republican senator lindseyies. go after china, punishing the american consumer and ourallies. go after china, not punishing the american consumer and our allies. go after china, not the rest of the world. we are joined by bbc‘s north america correspondent nick bryant, is this the thing that will divide the republican party finally from donald trump? they have stuck with him so far. there was a lot of talk earlier in the about how the republican party had become the trump party in the aftermath of the tax cuts that were passed before christmas, but there is a definite difference, a definite divergences between the republican party establishment, for a long time now has been free trade, determine and leak free trade. if you look at the origins of nafta, the trade agreement that donald trump eights, you find it in ronald reagan's campaign for the presidency. you find it in ronald reagan's campaign forthe presidency. george hw bush pushed nafta as well, put into effect by bill clinton, but it was a republican idea,

mr. trump. meanwhile, lawmakers in both parties have warned the president: don't fire special counsel mueller. an senator, and sometime trump ally, lindseyham: ni if he tried to do that, that would be the beg of the end of his presidency, because we're a rule of law nation.on >> desjardins:essman adam schiff, the top democrat on the housintelligence committee: >> this would undoubtedly result in a constitutional crisis, and i think decrats and republicans need to speak out about this right now. >> desjardins: and republican trey gowdy, who chairs the house oversight committee. >> let it play out its course, if you've done nothing wrong you should want the investigation to be as fulsome and thorough as possible. >> desjardins: to quell the furor, late last night, white house lawyer ty cobb issued a statement that the president is not considering firing mueller. and white house legislative director marc short insisted mr. trump is frustrated about a probe he sees as wasteful, but remains compliant. >> we have cooperated in every single way, every single paper they've asked for, every single interview. >> desjardins: this flurry of reaction

like lindsey graham and chuck grassley running with it and saying that you helped show that crimes were committed. watch. >> the steel dossier was paid for by the democratic party, fusion gps, mrsteele had associates that could have easily compromised him, and we believe the fisa warrant process was abused, and the reason we want to special counsel, i believe a crime has been committed. >> ed: a crime committed? >> a similar statement to the letter i sent to the attorney general a few weeks ago. i will tell you this, senator grassley and his team have done a great job. i am glad to see the other three senators coming in and helping senator grassley. he deserves to be commended for this. >> ed: yet most of the media has said, mr. chairman, that your republican memo was a dead end it proved nothing. here you have two big republicn senators putting their reputations on the line and saying, actually, no, you helped for crimes were committed. >> also the media has been ignoring the story for a long time and they continue to. we put the memo out, remember that senator grassley and senator graham had already said in a letter that was very, very similar to our memo. that finally, beca

lindsey graham is now calling for congressional hearing over the matter. >> i think we owe it to the average american to have a hearing in the judiciary committee for mr.ions, attorney general sessions coming forward with every documentation he has. about the firing. and give mr. mccabe a chance to defend himself. i believe when it comes to the issue as much transparency as possible. to make sure it was not politically motivated. >> again appeared inspector general report could answer a lot of the same questions and results with some of those concerns. that is expected to be released at some point in the next couple of weeks. >> will be waiting for that. thank you very much. >> and the brenda emile investigation zero in on general michael flynn and george papadopoulos.could andrew mccabe also face the same type of criminal charges that they have? if he indeed exhibited -- a lack of candor. in other words not on the trip to the fbi investigators. during this now we have the former doj prosecutor and before we get to the possible jeopardy this one of the legal implications of these notes that he said he potentially collaborating james comey as claims reg

senator lindsey graham said he does not think the president has the legal authority to fire the special counsel. watch this. >> it's not harsh words, it's reality. i don't see any reason to fire mr. mueller. you're going to have calls to fire him. i think anything directed at firing mr. mueller blows up the whole town and that becomes the end of governing and the presidency as we know it. and i have zero concern that mueller's going to be fired by trump. zero. >> he said earlier, remember, it would be the beginning of the end of trump's presidency if he did that. what do you think about that? the president doesn't seem to be someone who follows any sort of rules. >> no. not whatsoever. i think we've been inching toward a constitutional crisis for quite some time. i've said it to you before on your program. and the act of instructing rob rosenstein to fire rob mueller, who is the only person, i believe, that has the legal authority to do so, would in fact precipitate just such a constitutional crisis. the fact of the matter is, don, we now have definitive proof that americans are very, very hungry for all of the truth behind this. we know this because james comey's book, which ha

lindsey graham says they're misguided. >> you're making a huge mistake here. go after china, not the rest of the world. >> reporter: british prime minister theresa may called mr.rday morning to voice her deep concern with the move and the european union said it would retaliate with its own tariffs on harley-davidson and on bourbon made in kentucky senator mitch mcconnell's state. that could increase prices and put jobs in jeopardy. the. >> that's a fraction of 1% of the economy. so the notion that it would destroy a lot of jobs, raise prices, disrupt things is wrong. >> reporter: some in the administration is arguing that what the president should do is instead of imposing a broad tariff, target china directly. bianna, no surprise. the president is already tweeting the president this morning. tariffs will come off only if a new and fair nafta agreement is signed. bianna? >> getting a lot of pushback from our allies and some of his closest advisers. thank you. >>> south korea's government sent officials to north korea korea this sunday to resume talks aimed at lowering risks at war. president trump revealed that north korea has reached out to the u.s. about a m

brian: senator lindsey graham said listen i know the president said a lot. i need to see it in paper. he said, mrt, you put it down and then i will tell you where we stand. ainsley: background checks also need to apply if you buy a gun at a gun show and buy a gun online. some of the lawmakers are saying those are the loopholes that need to be patched up. steve: steve scalise was there and steve scalise started to talk about his bill in the house carry conceal carry reciprocity. president said steve i love you if you attach that to a bill it's not going to pass. so go ahead and make that a stand alone bill. so clearly the president is trying to say things that people have not heard from 1600 pennsylvania before. he want to get something done. he wants to make sure this time it's different. brian: joe manchin said to neil cavuto if this president was 2013 we would have passed this. that's a democrat. meanwhile, six minutes after the top of the hour u. ainsley: meanwhile the doj is looking into possible obstruction of justice to the story we brought you yesterday. we interviewed tom who he homan, th

lindsey graham said president trump could not have made a better choice. california democrat, barbara lee blasted bolton as one of the most extreme pro-war members of the bush administration. as a candidate, mr. trump praised bolton. >> i like bolton. he's a tough cookie and knows what he's talking about. >> reporter: but he passed on bolton, because with that moustache, he didn't look the part. late thursday, bolton criticized the recent leak that his new boss didn't take the advice not to congratulate vladimir putin. >> you cannot expect other foreign leaders to be candid and open in their conversations with the president if some munchkin in the executive branch decides they're going leak the talking points. >> reporter: his appointment is not the only shakeup. john dowd, his lead lawyer in the russia investigation, abruptly resigned. nbc news learned that could potentially clear a path for the president to meet with robert mueller. people familiar with the process, tell us it's part of preparations for an interview with the special counsel. john dowd opposed that idea. but president trump told reporters, yesterday, he would like to do it. hoda? >> in the midst of all this, the president o

mr. stevens? this is your new name. this is your new house. and a perfectly inconspicuous suv. you must become invisible. [hero] i'll take my chances. maria: welcome back, final thoughts from the all-star panel, lindseyedia companies. >> companies making big self-driving investments will think twice because they'll be cultural backlash here. maria: seems that way. dagen: do you solemnly swear -- do you solemnly swear to tell the truth because they will get called in front of congress and that would be the photo-op that every lawmaker is looking for. maria: heavier regulation on technology. that's what i've been expected. dagen mcdowell, lindsey bell, brian brendberg, tomorrow mornings with maria in washington, i will talk to alan greenspan and utah senator orrin hatch. stuart: good morning, everyone. big news today on facebook, on uber and, yes, on the stock market, talk about a storm, facebook is right in the middle of it, premarket, no recovery for the stock, it's down some more, took a huge hit yesterday, here is the news, the security chief is stepping down, there will be emergency meeting of employees to address the data abuse problem and here is a real bomb subpoena shell, damming under cover t

mr. daly: there's a long list. the fact they are stalled in congress, it is for a lack of agreement about how to make those ideas work. senators lindseyraham and richard blumenthal have come up with a bill that would allow the government to allow federal authorities issued a red flag restraining order. if someone shows signs they are tending to be violent, if they hurt themselves or others, you can get a court order and take their guns away. there are a few states that have those laws, but only a few, and the goal of this bill would make it nationwide. >> you tweeted this past week about some of the other measures. there's a picture with diane feinstein, the ranking member, who said to allow courts to keep guns away from people deemed threats to themselves and others. rick scott, the governor of florida, has signed legislation. do you think that might be an impetus to some measures that senators have proposed, including prohibiting the sale of guns to those under 21? mr. daly: i think the fact that that law has been signed in florida is limited because florida traditionally has been a state that has been controlled by republicans and
