mr. paul: madam president, reserving the right to object, the constitution is quite clear on this subject. if the minority leader wishes to engage in the civil war in syria that's been going on for nearly a decade, we should obey the constitution. he should come to the floor and say that we are ready to declare war, we are ready to authorize force, and we are going to stick our troops in the middle of this messy, messy, five-sided civil war where we would be ostensibly opposed to the turkish government that has made an incursion. we would then be opposed to our nato ally. it would be the first time in history that we would be inserting ourselves militarily against a nato ally. none of this is to excuse turkey's action. in fact, today i will offer a resolution that would actually do something. the resolution that's being offered is simply a way to have petty partisan criticism of the president infect this body. mine actually would have the force of law and would prevent any arms from being sold

we'll hear from mr. paul. >> i was hoping that former president fung to testify in this matter. you might see him tomorrow. yes, those thursday afternoons. thank you, commissioners. dang jeremy paul on behalf of the project sponsor. i just learned of a personal tragedy in my life so i'm having trouble gathering my thoughts. lost a good friend, but i would like to tell you what happened that brought this case to where it is. a bit less than a year ago, i was meeting with a planner reviewing the model of a seismic upgrade, existing units, and remodel of the units. and i was discussing with a very experienced planner, max poutra, on what we were going to do with this basement, and how we could best incorporate this basement into the unit above. it was never intended to do this unit as an a.d.u. un-- asn addition. it was staff's recommendation to be a dwelling unit. i'm going to go to the computer now and run through a few slides and show you a little bit about this. this is what the basement looked like. it was storage in the back and a row of storage throughout. when the seismic u

mr. paul. any other general public comment? public comment is now closed. commissioner fung? >> commissioner who talked about the valley neighborhood commercial, you were genetic and general in your discussion. give me some examples of what changes you're talking about. >> there are restrictions on the number of restaurants titled for the neighbor. actually, i'd like to find out where i can get ahold of all of the restrictions and conditions of that neighborhood? where would i go? to. >> it would be in our planningc, i would encourage you to work with your supervisor. >> ok. >> to start the process because obviously, the valley merchant's associationlies iassociation lin ecosystem with neighbors. scott process to start bringing everyone together. >> my supervisor in district 8. >> super mayes. >> and thank you very much for your work. >> seeing nothing further, commissioners, we can move on to your regular calendar. for the benefit of the public, if you're here for 18, caesar chavez, that was continued to november 21 and castro street to october 24. case 2415, 4 this is an in

i like rossy's now that mr. paul suggested i eat there because i talked to him about this. but our neighborhood is probably one of the worst places to go for any retail experience. the only retail experience left is cliff's. and i pretty much know everybody by name. and i say to staff, i'm back here for another f-ing trip to cliffs. they own the building and that's great because they are going to stay, and the family wants to stay. the rest of the retail landscape is i'm having a hard time thinking about where else there is retail. there's a rollo on market street. and i don't know, am i missing any? is that all that's left? okay knobs across the street. so i guess the question i have is we look at north beach. north beach has a high vacancy rate. we are supposed to have a 20 percent concentration of eating and drinking establishments which is the recommended number. we get something for north beach and i think they're at 75 percent eating and drinking establishments. i went to original joe's recently, i said let's go into a store and get something. we walked on grant stree

mr. paul: i ask unanimous consent that i be allowed to speak up to 15 minutes followed by senators johnson, risch, menendez for five minutes each. the presiding officer: any objection? without objection. mr. paul: today we'll vote to whether or not admit north macedonia in nato. i think we already have dead wait and adding macedonia to nato adds absolutely nothing to our collective security. in his farewell address george washington stated that it is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world. this was echoed by thomas jefferson in his inaugural address who wished for peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none. as we watched the most recent developments in syria unfold, it is a good moment to remember the guidance which washington and jefferson attempted to pass along. turkey, a nation which we have been locked in permanent alliance with since the cold war, has launched an offensive, a war of choice by

mr. paul, you have three minute. >> thank you, miss rosenberg, commissioner swig. there was no doubt that the kitchen was finished beyond the scope of issued permits. this would be legally active space under the permits that were active at the time and completed. so it is -- was the clear understanding of this contractor and owner that he was sticking his neck out in a way that he might be cutoff. but the economies of scale when you're doing a large about renovation like that, in tenants and trying to keep costs to as low as possibnarro so you can keep rents as low as possible, it made sense that he purchased those cabinets and put them in. it was a justifiable risk at the time. it's a cost that he's willing to assume to remove them. if this kitchen has to be removed, this scare will be altered -- this stair will be altered, and people will still be living there, but it won't be part of a dwelling unit, and it won't be part of a dwelling unit that people won't use very much. where you have an option to give it to their tenant and son who really will make good use o

mr. paul: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from kentucky. mr. paul: i rise today to honor and pay tribute to one of the most tenacious and dedicated kentuckians i've had the pleasure of knowing, mr. jim milliman. jim began his career in 1964 after graduating from the university of notre dame. he subsequently graduated magna cum laude from the universal of louisville law school in 1970. he married nan and they made their home in louisville, kentucky. they have been married for 48 years. when i first met jim, i knew him as one of kentucky's finest attorneys who represented brown and williamson during the tobacco litigation and state republicans in election law matters. i knew him as an accomplished managing partner of the louisville based law firm middleton rylinger. i knew him as the fiery conservative cohost who often sat opposite congressman john yarmouth on political show "hot button." he was known for his spirited debate and for not backing down. after over 40 successful years in commercial litigation and numerous awards from his peers such as

according to a spokesperson of the people paul movement mr joe a senior and you had a very crowded conversation with him he told me that the government is just 100 more a position is the bar when down for a reason they are looking at the move done by the government to bury the uniform of the military element to punish the government is afraid to. challenge imprison sure in the 70. statement is not going to shirk condemn. them from. the hard way so much. for them to believe that they're ready to oppose the government just a bit just. ok so if it is sounds like defiance it sounds like they'll continue to say it's a way of the parade but also what reasons did the government if for the bad. guys spoke to this spokesperson of the uganda's people's defense forces the ugandan military general richard cullen myriad told me no ugandan should be enticed for any reason whatsoever to brick the low and if the constitution says something you're going to should follow the constitution it is clear that no the barrier has been lifted so ugandans should know that for him the reason gore has been defied they'll f

mr. whelian done anything wrong. paul's family in michigan wants safely,im returned home and congress must stand with justice.demand h.res. 552 sends a strong message from congress. russia to either offer up some legitimate evidence that ustifies why they have mr. whelian in prison or whelan in prison or immediately release him and let him return to the united states. can't let this go on any longer. languishing in a cell with no understanding why e's been subjected to this horror, sadly this injustice is what life is like in putin's russia. judicialno independent process, there is no rights for efendants, there is abuse, mistreatment, corruption. it's critical we all keep this in mind. for's why it's so important the united states to stand trong and condemn putin and upholding our commitment to the rule of law. stephens fornk ms. her -- ms. stevens for her hard on this measure. representative, she's been pushing for paul's release as has the entire delegation. is a good piece of measure i support. i ask all members to do t

mr. mccarthy: elements. reporter: are you suggesting that paul manafort, who was tried and convicted in an american court was framed? mr. mccarthy: you literally took that from that? you literally are asking this question from that. that's nothing what i said. let's be honest in this approach. what i am saying is i want to know why we went through this for two years. i want to know where it came from. i don't know where it started. but what we know on the facts when you go through the mueller investigation, yeah, some of this was developed within ukraine. why shouldn't we ask that question? why shouldn't we ask that question to anywhere we know it? if we don't know the answer and you want to extrap plate something that was never said that is wrong. what i said is i want to get to the answer. bottom to the answer to the question. reporter: critical of democrats right now for a lack of transparency and the process, but the white house has said that they are not going to turn over any documents. the president put out a letter saying he do does not plan to turn over any documents. how is that transparent in this

mr. trump's campaign chairman, paul manafort. late last night "the new york times" reported that then-national security adviser john bolton was alarmed by the ukraine scandal and told an aide to tell white house lawyers what was going on. the "times" reports mr. bolton got into a tense exchange on july 10th with gordon sondland working with rudy giuliani, the president's personal lawyer, to press ukraine to investigate democrats according to three people who heard the testimony. that is the testimony of fiona hill, president trump's former top russian adviser who testified to impeachment investigators on monday behind closed doors. according to "the new york times," fiona hill testified that mr. bolton told her to notify the chief lawyer for the national security council about a rogue effort by mr. sondland, mr. giuliani, and mick mulvaney, the acting white house chief of staff according to people familiar with the testimony. i am not part of whatever drug deal sondland and mulvaney are cooking up. mr. bolton told ms. hill to tel

paul: really? >> i think as mr. piloni has said, if they're going to go through proper procedures and hold a vote, then they will consider cooperating. paul: this will be a vote to authorize an inquiry like they had with clinton and nixon. >> that's right. the positive side, it exposes what the house democrats are doing for what it is which is basically a political strategy, being run against president trump. look, as david riffkin made clear, the founders were ambivalent about impeachment. james madison said the bar for impeachment had to be high, otherwise if you simply routinely impeach presidents, they would be serving at the pleasure of the congress. they don't. they're elected by the american people. so it looks as though what nancy pelosi decided to do is to indeed try president trump in the press. just as kim was describing. you have these closed hearings, you listen to these witnesses and then you leak it to the press and you create a kind of tumult around the president. it's driving the polls and now the su

robert bennett, former personal defense attorney for president bill clinton during the paul jones case. mr. bennett, let me begin with you. as someone who represented a president in his personal capacity during an impeachment event, how bad do the facts look for this president? >> i think they look very bad. i think on the obstruction, i mean you can be impeached for obstructing justice and obstructing a legitimate inquiry by congress. so i think the president himself has established the grounds for a charge of impeachment. >> walter, you worked at olc and you've been inside the government as it wrestled with the questions what is the law and how do we follow it? i can't help but notice that instances around this scheme, whether it's fiona hill and john bolton referring to the drug deal, others, folks in the dod who did legal analysis found upholding the payments was possible unlawful, the criminal withdrawal to doj, there are red flags going off all over the system in the lead up to the system. what do you make of that? >> i make of it that those who were part of the scheme to corrupt our

mr. petraeus: i don't think it is just to them. i think we have that to some other partners we have been working with. this is the home of realist thinking, after all. this is paul nitze's -- he was your first dean, wasn't he? mr. cohen: he was one of the founders. he was a somewhat different character. mr. petraeus: he was, but we all know about paul nitze known for this and that. again, i think known for a realistic appraisal of international relations and security situations. so i think you have got to be eyed about that. and you have to be clear with your rhetoric. if you do make a public commitment, and you are the superpower, you need to follow through with that commitment, unless there is some explanation about why the context has changed. so it is measured in what you do. we have repeatedly, in the post-9/11 period, i would argue with everyone that the three post-9/11 administrations, had considerably more expansive rhetoric than it turned out we were willing to actually put up. mr. cohen: let me use that transition to the question of lessons, if you think there are any that we should take away from what some people call the forever wars, iraq, afghanist

mr. giuliani working as personal attorney to the president, for the president. u.s. district judge paul then asked him, so he was working for mr. giuliani, and mr. giuliani worked for him? okay. he didn't answer the question here, the attorney for parnas in court. but he later told reporters, yes to both. does that mean parnas is saying that he worked for the president? >> so there are going to be communications that will probably capture some information related to the president, some of the information that rudy giuliani perhaps was sharing with the president. so prosecutors have set up a filter team. they have set up a team to review all of these communications. it's a very bizarre argument. >> what did the president say he had no idea who parnas and igor were? >> the other thing parnas paid rudy giuliani half a million dollars, $500,000 from parnas to rudy giuliani. what's that about, right? so all of that is part of the investigation. it's a weird argument. i think it caught all of us by surprise, this idea that there was some kind of executive privilege. >> that's got to be the la

list no make up their minds are over how to answer paul ince request for a delay in the 1st consequence mrspeaker is that the government was taking the only responsible cools and exhilarate or preparations for a new deal are. the leaders of turkey and russia say a deal has been reached for kurdish fighters to move out of syrian border areas in else when it comes as a u.s. brokered truce in the region comes to an end turkish present russia type out of one says syrian kurdish fighters will move 30 kilometers away from the border in northeast syria within 150 hours after that time turkey and russia have agreed to conduct joint patrols both me to say they'll work to ensure the safe return of syrian refugees now in turkey. and fountains of protestors in lebanon have taken to the streets for a 6th consecutive day despite emergency reforms announced by the government demonstrators gathered in the capital beirut calling for prime minister saad hariri to resign it would take the economic measures announced on monday putting a 50 percent cut in politician salaries and the establishment of an anti co

beyond the immediate national committee of america mr burnham we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you very much. thank you thank you. paul the united states is not the only nato member concerned about turkey you may remember germany along with france and the u.k. restricted weapons sales to turkey when the military offensive against the kurds began but germany and turkey have locked nato horns before in 2017 turkey banned german lawmakers from visiting german servicemen and women stationed at injury like air base and that is just the beginning but it helps to explain why most germans now say that turkey should no longer be a member of nato that's right a majority of germans surveyed 58 percent say that turkey should be kicked out of nato there's even stronger german support for economic sanctions and export bans against the country now this poll was commissioned by the german news agency d.p.a. and it was carried out by the pollsters that you got the poll was also conducted in the wake of turkey's invasion of northern syria to create a 30 kilometer buffer zone between turkey and the syrian kurd y p g militia which turkey

china in a way takes the heat off a bit it shows that this was paul a pattern part of a bigger pattern of behavior on the part of this is mr ation it wasn't just some specifically ukrainian situation but definitely this is something that is coming to haunt him i was at one of his very rare briefings just the other day when he was trying to talk about his plan to bring peace to dawn bass and again and again you saw him confronted by questions from the excessive press about his meetings with mistress officials had he met rudy giuliani or not had he been influenced or put under pressure and you could say seemed getting very annoyed i don't want to just really to shift the focus back on his domestic agenda that is definitely unwelcome and something that is not going away in a hurry all right nick connelly in here with the latest on the ukrainian angle of this impeachment scandal nic thank you. and here with me of the big table tonight is a man who knows washington d.c. and how u.s. policy reverberates here in berlin and europe jack james is senior fellow at the german marshall fund he's also a member of the council on foreign

mr. sullivan: i have been consulted because i heard those same rumors. sen. paul: markey -- sen. markey: you have been? mr. sullivan: i inquired whether we had withdrawn from the treaty and assured we have not. sen. markey: have you been involved in the discussions given your leading role? mr. sullivan: i have, and i consulted with our ambassadors to nato and the o.s.c.e. and heard their views and conveyed their views about their view that we should continue to be members of the treaty. and ambassador of the osce is the chair, as i said this month, of the consultative commission. sen. markey: you consulted with allies who benefit tremendously from this agreement? what is their view? mr. sullivan: we have not. sen. markey: you have not? mr. sullivan: no. sen. markey: have you consulted with hong kong? mr. sullivan: in connection with my nomination, no. senator markey: is the united states and russia still in compliance with the treaty? mr. sullivan: the united states is in compliance. the united states' view is the russians have not been in compliance in certain respects, including

but also to the fiance and you know to the friends and colleagues of mr castro give each should make that declaration public to is paul and issued commit to non repetition that's essential once a state has admitted that he teased responsible for human rights violations the main implication is of course 3 parish and for the victims but none of repatriation we want the state to take a range of measures demonstrating that the conditions and the policies of politics that led to the death of mr cashel you will not be repeated and will not be tolerated that we certainly haven't seen so far in fact we have seen quite the opposite that's my 1st reaction. my 2nd reaction to his statement is that east to not recognizing you spoil so no responsibility is creating a distance between the crime and himself because he says he didn't order the love but what is failing to also recognize is that is person no liability for the crime may come from the whether or not he has ordered but it can also take all their forms under criminal law of any well constituted legal system the chain of command responsibility can take several forms yes who

national security advisor, the convictions of the trump campaign manager, paul manafort, and richard gates. the possible involvement of mr. giuliani and his associatesed arrested last week for possible violations. are those alt kinds of things you are talking about? mr. hickey: with respect to the last case those are campaign finance violations. i think the charges allege a connection to a foreign location. kind of activity we want to be alert to. ms. scanlon: included there. mr. hickey: at the moment the charges are campaign finance allegations. stepping back from that specific case, if there are indications of a foreign principal covertly trying to influence our whether through campaign finance or political activities, that is something we would be involved in. ms. scanlon: the one i'm concerned about listed on d.o.j.'s fara ebb formente actions is the one involving the 13 russian nationals who worked on behalf of the russian government to interfere in the 2016 election. by manipulating social media, to advocate for the trump campaign and against the clinton campaign because that included organizing political rallies i

the 1st consequence mr speaker is that the government was taking the only responsible cool and exonerate all preparations for a new deal. as live outside parliament in london ad so paul what now. well today we'll have prime minister's questions that regular weekend council between the prime minister and the leader of the opposition expect that to be a fiery engagement between the 2 men we also though have various procedural issues not the e.u. as we know is considering whether to grant the extension that was requested in that letter sent by boris johnson rather begrudgingly last week the indications are off from donald tusk the council of the e.u. council president is that the european union will grant that extension although we're not sure exactly what form that will take some rumors around brussels saying it could be a flex stench and that is an extension which goes up to and until an agreement is made and no further one other theory is that they will simply give the extension that boris johnson rather reluctantly requested which was all the way to january the 31st and in doing so make it a definite cut off and give time for a general election all for the governmen

mr. washington. we will hear now from the requester. >> good afternoon. my name is paul. i'm a physician with usff and san francisco va. i'm a scientist at those locations. i live within 150 feet of the proposed change of use. and i'm here representing not only myself but a number of neighbors who are very concerned about this change. and our main concerns are the hazards produced by coffee roasting on-site. and we believe if these hazards are addressed adequately we would accept all the other aspects of the change of use. so coffee roasting may sound harmless, but it's really an industrial process that produces significant air pollution, containing carcinogens and toxic chemicals that can worsen lung diseases such as asthma or emphysema. this is the highest concern the health of children, such as those at the nearby preschool just down the block because of the youth, they are most susceptible to these effects. we are also concerned because the calculations of the air quality management district estimated that roasting coffee would produce carcinogens at levels that are r
