mr. sanchez? >> here. >> mr. walters. miss min. thank you.

mr. sanchez. >> thank you. congratulations, president fung and vice president swig. apologies i wasn't here at the last item. when reviewing the letter of determination request, it did approach it and review the historical information. is there any way that this is possibly a legal use under the planning code? and that was what i tried to find. unfortunately, what i did find in the records and the knowledge that i have under the planning code in effect at that time is there was no authorization for this. back in the early 60s this was developed with homes on this block in the early 60s. they sought a p.u.d., a planned unit development, to reconfigure those and i a lou for the sale of portions of the properties to widen bosworth. there were actually homes on this block that were demolished as a result of this, and subsequent to that, the lots became vacant. at that time the property was zoned c2 and r2, and there is a very clear boundary line that shows on the planning and zoning map which portion is zoned which. at that time a parking lot would have required a minima

mr. sanchez. >> thank you so much for allowing us to practice democracy and allowing the other side of theisle to say a few words. >> tucker: amen. we do every night. i believe met with total sincerity. i want to hear it. maybe we'll agree on this. tell me your response when you hear a child of immigrants say to a room full of people here illegally, immigrants, this country was founded on the extermination of indigenous peoples. does that bother you? >> i believe we are a country of immigrants, right? everyone from all over the world came here and are still coming here, but we did in essence force ourselves in to create the greatest country the world has ever seen. >> tucker: i guess -- i'm not an emigrant, might we are not all immigrants but there's a lot of immigrants and i think -- you are, great. i think a lot of them are good people. i think it is really important that they become part of this country, and in order to do that, you have to love the country. does it bother you when someone that immigrants listen to, like linda sarsour, says this is a bad country run by racists, and his

mr. sanchez, thanks for coming on. >> thank you for allowing us to practice democracy and allowing the othere of the aisle to say a few words. >> tucker: amen. we do it every night and i believe in that with title sincerity. >> the american dream, thank you. >> tucker: maybe we'll agree on this. tell me your response when you hear a child of immigrants say to a room full of people here illegally, immigrants, this country was founded on the extermination of indigenous peoples? does that bother you? >> well, i believe we are a country of immigrants, right? everyone from all over the world came here and are still coming here. >> tucker: right. >> we did in a sense force ourselves in to create now the greatest country that the world has ever seen. >> tucker: but i guess -- i'm not an immigrant. you are probably not an immigrant either. >> i am. >> tucker: oh, you are? great. i think a lot of immigrants are good people, actually. i think it's really important that they become part of this country and in order to do that you have to love the country. does it bother you when someone that immigrants

mr. in sanchez is in inherited problem -- user assange is an inherited problem. however, we've made a commitment from the start to continue protecting the life of mr. assange, which we think is in danger. amy: hong kong's highest court has thrown out the prison sentences for three democracy student organizers -- joshua wong, alex chow and nathan law. tuesday's ruling reverses the august 2017 verdicts, in which the three were sentenced to months in prison for helping organize the 2014 pro-democracy "umbrella movement" protests. the activists, however, cautioned against celebrating the ruling, as the court warned them that any future organizing could result in imprisonment. this is joshua wong. >> according to the judgment handed down by the court of final appeal in the future, if there any similar actions, protesters will still receive prism it. i will not describe this as a win and do not see it is as a reason to celebrate. amy: back in the united states, new york city taxi drivers held a vigil on tuesday to honor livery car driver douglas schifter, who killed him

mr. crowley and congressman sanchez are on the ways and means committee. i am going to defer to them on this. we have always said that you cannot do this tax bill without having it being bipartisan. we want to recognize that we should perhaps lower the corporate rate. what is the case for it? if you are going to have sustainability and a tax reform it has to be bipartisan. , instead, they can up with something that gives 83% of the benefits to the top 1%. most families will be paying more in taxes and took is deeply -- us deeply into debt to the tune of $2 trillion when you include the interest on the national debt giving a permanent tax cut of over $1 trillion to corporate america. that's not right. there is a better way to do that. our path as to what it would look like is it would be bipartisan. >> i would say briefly that the benefit to the bill was a bipartisan bill. in conjunction with then speaker o'neill and president reagan, that was entirely lacking and there was no democratic input. it's reflective in the bill that was passed. we would look towa

sanchez. thank you. thank you, mrs. stromberg. ms. i have a head cold. i can't hear much. maggie thomas. >> thank you for having us. i'm maggie thomas. i'm here on behalf of next gen ameri america. divestment is the right moral thing to do and financial decision. tom stire spent 30 years as an investment professional "the board is tying the fate of public employees to the fate of a dying, dirty fuel industry whose product will wreak destruction on our shores." to date, 130 public and private institutions have divested totalling $6 trillion. it's time for the san francisco pension fund to add its name to that list. >> thank you, maggie thomas. up next, fred sanchez. >> hello. i'm president of protect our benefits, coming before you with a difficult decision to make on divestment. everybody in this room is concerned about retirement and climate change and looking for alternative energy sources. you are award of your fiduciary relationship. rapid time frame is probably the difficult issue. we don't want to see the retirement fund negatively impacted. this board is the number

mr. chairman i yield back. >> miss sanchez, you're recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. secretary, thank you for being here i have to say frankly this budget is a disgrace to the working people of this country. it would be, i would be hard-pressed to come up with a budget that is more out of touch with the needs and concerns of everyday people than this budget. the people that i represent and family that's hear from every day would suffer greatly under the massive cuts in this proposal. you know, i think about single parents. i think about women, who have to work to support their families while caring for children and programs aging family members at same time. this budget really hits them where it hurts. it makes it harder for parents to work and feed their children by slashing funding for necessities, not luxuries, but necessities like housing, family planning and food. it puts their health and their lives ad risk by jeopardizing, undermining access to affordable, quality health insurance and it will not reverse the steep decline in families receiving help with child c
