mr. chair, we have one speaker card. ace washington. >> great. mr. washington? >> i know you guys are looking up at me, why is this guy up here, speaking on all these things? he ain't got into suits, no tie, no jury. right now, i'm appalled. every single development you have going on, there's some issues. not deep, but we can solve them, because this ain't the end, this is just the beginning of this set of projects. but if these projects don't adhere to your -- what you going -- hiring community and all of those things that they're supposed to do, and i don't have time to go do it, but if they don't do it -- put it this way: if they haven't done it in the past, what are you giving it to them now for? what i'm saying, case in point -- ace on the case -- what i'm saying, case on point, see, i'm not pointing fingers at nobody. it's the case that i'm working on that points to the issue. so if you all going to sit up here and give these projects to the developments that's supposed to house low income or whatever, particular for us, and they don't do it now and haven'

mr. washington -- >> politics full of tricks and makings you turn to a lunatic. >> how are you? >> ace on the case in your face, in the place they call city hall. i call it silly hall. i'm here supporting mary. she knows i've been supporting her for years. we've been through some tears. looky here. she could testify. because when i met her, she started in the western addition. we call the fillmore, which i call the feel no more. hey, mary. black businesses there, the feel no more. hey, mary, place to go and get jobs, the feel no more. but i'm here supporting mary because she -- she was there and she made sure that we had work. when i say "we," black african, negro, cotton picker, whatever you want to call me. and i'm not racist. no, that's not a racist remark. it's just factual. and the factual thing is i'm here to protest on y'all meeting today. but i'm also here to tell y'all, and y'all wanted me to put it in writing. i never put nit writing to these people here. you know why? i don't need to because i was always ace in your face in the place and now they want me to put someth

mr. washington and then after perhaps they could engage in a conversation on that. thank you. >> commissioner moore, this code should be up to building code standards in regards to light and air, and it is up to our current department standards for light and air as well as exposure. we have to check with the building code, though, and the building inspector to see if in fact this is consistent. again, this is kind of based on the architect, and i think he might be able to lend that. because as i've stated in the past, we are not building inspectors, so we really have to defer to them and depend on them. >> if i may respond and let the architect do, as well, is that appropriate? >> yes. the building department and commissioner, the building department did raise the fact that the sky light may have to be removed and may have to be open to the sky, and in response -- >> would you speak into the microphone because i didn't quite hear you. >> yet. we anticipated that question, and pridi met about this very issue. if you'll put on the chart with the building code, buildin

mr. vice chair, we have one speaker card, ice washington. >> thank you, mr. washington. >> by god. i got about ten minutes in here today. it's chopped up, but two, four, six, eight, ten. you all don't got to leave. you might want to hear what i have to say. >> emp's running. >> whenever you all want to close the show, bring on old ace, huh? but any way, i do want to say, i want to commend you all. you all are doing a wonderful job, because when you all came on this ocii, i commended all of you all, because you took over an agency in my opinion -- >> if we could have everybody be quiet in the room. >> it's okay. you know, ace talks, go ahead. no, no, i appreciate your respect. i'll talk into the mic, but what i would like to do, respectfully ask this commission, your oversight board which cancelled out, and they are he not going to meet anymore until september is ridiculous. i told you, secretary, i wanted the reports of the rops. i wants the report that you sent to sacramento telling the governor everything is okay in the city by the bay. i would like to get that before i go up the

mr. washington -- >> delivering this sermon. >> when you hear people say the men in black, they don't give a care, they don't have no love, i tell you yes, they do. understand, mr. bill, mr. jackson, mr. washington, this is your opportunity at this time to make a choice. >> it was almost like a warning, and theni was listening to him and it just got loud somewhere more impassioned as he went, i realized he was making sure that everybody, all of the inmates, knew what was going on, these three guys were getting a second chance. >> now, i want you to show them, i want you to show this department that you can stand and make a difference. i know you might say, big sam, i don't think he's talking to me right. i just want you to know, that's just the way it is. nothing personal. this is a jail. you got a life ahead of you. what you do with it is on you. >> at one point in the speech, big sam was warning these inmates that because they were being let out of the situation, they may be viewed as snitches. >> you know just as well as i do, it will come back. why they let bill out? why he's not stand

mr. washington? >> you can call me ace. i'm in your place and i know how to act now. like that song saying, i've changed. i will sing it later. i'm here celebrating women's day. i was upstairs in four or five commissioners meeting and down here for my last meeting. what i have to say is politically if that's okay. i was at a mayor's forum last night. i was very disappointed. first of all, i couldn't get in. it was on castro. and i did a little monologue before i did my show how i used to come over when i was a little boy and match movies, videos, back then. but i couldn't get in. they said you had to have tickets to get ivenlt whatley -- to get in. what i will do, we're going to have a mayors candidates and we'll talk about black issues, youth and seniors. get ready, candidates. i'm ace and i'm on the case. i'm going to invite you to where i stay at. with london breed, the queen. politics full of tricks. they've been treating my queen pretty wrong. even though i don't agree with her politics, i don't like the way they're treating you, queen. i don't like it. and they'

when did he get to washington permanently? mr. mcclarin: he arrived here officially in 1872, after his home in rochester was burned to the ground. susan: was it burned by malicious intent, or was it an accident? mr. mcclarin: there are competing stories, but we do lefthis son-in-law, mason, a lantern in the barn and that interviewed to the fire of the rochester home. susan: why did he come to washington? mr. mcclarin: because he established in his final newspaper, the new national herald. he wanted to use his voice and pen to advocate for african-americans as a transition from slavery to freedom. he also wanted to have the ear of all the politicians in and around washington, because in 1872, the home that he purchased was not too far from the actual nation of the capital. susan: this was a. ofthis was a period reconstruction in the south. how was he able to influence policy at all? mr. mcclarin: i would say that he did, because the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were passed. but as the reconstruction era was winding down, we see

request from the senator from washington? mr. mcconnell: i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from kentucky. mr. mcconnell: this has been a very disappointing moment. senator collins is asking to pass an amendment that would not seem to be terribly controversial. as we've heard my colleagues state this afternoon be, the alexander-collins-nelson proposal would lower health insurance premiums dramatically in some cases for american individuals and families. this assistance would be especially helpful to the middle-income -- middle-class families whom obamacare has hit the hardest. so why do i would colleagues -- so how do my colleagues propose accomplishing this worthy goal? through another top-down, one-size-fits-all scheme cooked up here in washington? nope. their legislation is designed to encourage new thinking and creative policymaking at the state level through the expansion of section 1332 state innovation waivers and high-risk pools. it would end the practice of si

mrs. washington? i went, i'll take the ex-mrs. washington.n says he asked her to marry him. the biggest mistake i ever made my life. josh mankiewicz: within months of moving to his new mexico ranch, allen says peggy was nosing her way into his horse business, pressing him to fire longtime employees and hire friends of hers. you know, she wanted her people to do the accounting and stuff. josh mankiewicz: when he refused, allen says, the man-magnet turned into a man-eater. she'd get on me, and this is like, a dang-- you know, this is like a man getting on you. she's a pretty good-sized woman. i looked in her eyes and i-- and i mean, she's evil. she is evil. josh mankiewicz: but if peggy thomas married well, she divorced even better. allen says he gave her money and an 80-foot houseboat just to go away. the divorce took way longer than the marriage did. josh mankiewicz: looking back, mark allen says he should have known better. he says a few days before their wedding, peggy let him in on a little secret. mark allen: she said that she was accused

mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: reserving the right to object, i do want to take a moment to talk about how we got this moment and why i am hopeful that despite the republican leader's decision to once again scuttle bipartisan negotiations on health legislation, we can do what patients and families want -- that is to strengthen health care and lower the premiums next year. mr. president, chairman alexander had said that in september every democrat in the senate was ready to pass the original alexander-murray legislation, and he is right. we wanted to work with republicans to undo as much of president trump's health care sabotage as possible because of how it is hurting families and forcing them to pay more for care. unfortunately, senator mcconnell blocked our bipartisan agreement because he wanted to pressure his caucus into supporting yet another harmful republican repeal bill. that trumpcare bill failed, mr. president, and i was again hopeful that after it did, week make progress on our bipartisan legisla

mr. block thinks too gently through a smear campaign against stephenson just days before the presidential election. it did not run in the "washington post." the post pulled the curtain because it was a pro eisenhower paper. mr. block was pro stephenson. they felt that mr. block's opinion of eisenhower failing to control mccarthy and nixon went too far. might perhaps persuade voters not to vote for him. it didn't run. it did run in the areas where mr. block was syndicated in the other newspapers. what you need to know about this cartoon, "washington post" readers missed it. they knew a cartoon had appeared elsewhere. it hadn't appeared their home town paper. they are angry. "washington post" ran every single cartoon that mr. block chose to draw after that. he had a lot of power at the post as a cartoonist. web see that mr. block's art style evolved from that midwestern pen and ink drawn to very loose drawing style. he used whiteout both as a way to control his mistakes and enhance his i believe. on this canoe being guided by president kennedy, he's got budget written in whiteout on top of the ink and pencil so that it stand out in h

mr. xi was in washington that very same day. we had mar-a-lago session with china. we had another session in november back in beijing. there's been plenty of discussion. >> how many people tried to stop the president from doing this? gary cohn reportedly has threatened to resign over this. what's your understanding about this? >> i don't know anything about gary resigning. gary was certainly part of the interagency process. president likes to have dissenting views, likes to hear every side of everything because that way it makes sure that his final decision is the best informed. >> hard to find a republican supportive of this decision on capitol hill. hard to find many people in business that's not a -- perhaps somebody in steel or aluminum and not even everybody in those industries are for this. does this give you pause at all? should we believe this is actually going to happen? >> well, i think you have to take the president at his word. he made campaign promises. he's pretty well proven so far he intends to keep his campaign promises. >> so this is going to happe

mr. president, is a "washington post" article that came out today, the headlight is sent banking bill likely to boost chances of bank bailouts. congressional come from the current -- congressional budget office and bill likely to boost bank bailouts. cbo's is why would we do that? why when banks are doing very welcome angst of all sizes are very profitable these days, which is did a tax bill that gives it the largest banks in e financialy services industry, bt especially wall street banks, gave been huge tax breaks. so we're going to pass a bill that the congressional budget office, a mutual score, the referee, says this will cost taxpayers $672 billion and it will increase the chances of bailout. why would we pass as bill to gie the banks rakes and then given $672 billion of taxpayer dollars? mr. president, i just don't understand why we as a tenant would want to do such a thing. nobody in ohio except for some bank executives are clamoring for this bill. nobody is saying we've got to deregulate the banks. we've got to help the biggest banks. we've got to help these banks that drove us into

washington. but what about mr. estrada and what about the millions of working americans like him who want washington to think about them for a change. mr. estrada can't afford to hire a lobbyist and he can't cut a campaign check and can't host a d.c. fund-raiser at a steakhouse and the result, it seems, is that every republican in this chamber and far too many democrats will lie down with the banks and ignore mr. estrada and his two little girls. we should be working for people like mr. estrada and not for the big banks. mr. estrada earned it. the big banks did not. mr. president, i yield the

we would all agree with you one hundred percent on that frank cilluffo joining us tonight from washington mr slipper we appreciate your time come back to talk with us again thank you thank you brian. well you already know that facebook is about sharing in now we are finding out of the company has once again shared all of your personal information for political purposes it says was not intended according to a former staff member of britain's cambridge analytic the personal data of about fifty million facebook accounts was misused during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election facebook has announced a thorough investigation on what went wrong c.e.o. c.e.o. mark zuckerberg is facing some serious questions tonight facebook's mark zuckerberg enjoys the limelight at least when the news is good but as far as the latest data scandal is concerned he's keeping a low profile. more than two years ago his company discovered that cambridge analytics was using data taken from fifty million facebook users yet the company failed to inform those affected cambridge analytical it was simply told to delete

but the comment provided by the russian ambassador in washington, mr antonov, sheds a light on a possiblem moscow. so, he said that this story teaches moscow only one thing, that washington only respects strength. and this suggests that the response from moscow will be quite harsh. so we've had the view from the eu and from russia. let's get more from the us. one interesting detail — a russian consulate in seattle will be shut. the russian embassy in washington responded by asking its followers which us consulate should close in response. i haven't checked which one people have gone for, but there have been over 15,000 votes. 0ne do the russians have a consulate in seattle thatis russians have a consulate in seattle that is of interest to both sides, here is chris buckler to explain. it's basically close to a submarine base in the us. it's also close to boeing aerospace. and those two places, which america does not want a russian consulate close to. and that seems to be because they are very concerned about those inside america who are intelligence gathering, who are involved, as far as t

and he's joining me now from washington. mr. hadley, welcome to the program. >> nice to be here. >> so let's sort of start at the beginning. first and foremost, what do you make of this sort of last-minute surprise visit by kim jong-un to china? what's the strategic picture around that visit? >> well, for china, it's very important because, in some sense, president trump's willingness to meet with kim jong-un had the effect of sidelining china a little bit. this puts china centrally back into the picture. because they, of course, have real interests in how this dispute gets resolved. kim jong-un, it says another thing. even though china joined with the united states and other countries in adopting u.n. security council resolutions that china is still kim jong-un's ally. and finally, both the meeting with president xi and forthcoming meeting with president trump does something for kim jong-un. it puts him on the same level of two of the world's great leaders of two great countries. so it serves a lot of purposes all around. >> wo

met with facebook europe's executives today right here in berlin yet lawmakers in washington they're still waiting for mr zuckerberg just to just leave california and come to washington why do you think we have that situation in the u.s. where not even the congress can get the c.e.o. to move well that's going to have to change really it's certainly been the case and pos that when facebook has sent executives to go and explain the companies in front of congressional committees and so on such as with the fake news day it was those were attorneys that facebook although all of the big stick and the divisional experts and so on and so on and i said right well if it must be me then ok i will show up but you know it needs to be the person who knows the most about the subject and that's not going to wash and the more he's the c.e.o. the compliment foundered as he's got a lot of us saying rights he is the one who's going to have to show what does it what does it tell us though that he has been so reluctant to come forward is it is he afraid of the reality that is out there or does he just not realize the reality

washington for us. featuring two of the very pillars upon which the newspaper of mrs. graham and mr. bradley currently rests. is that an overstatement? ashley parker, white house reporter for the "washington post." phillip rucker, white house bureau chief for the "washington post." we are also so happy to welcome to our broadcast one of the best-known and most widely read journalists in this city, susan page, washington bureau chief for "usa today." susan, we'll begin with you. you wrote today about -- asking the question whether today was a show of rising confidence or a rising sense of peril. >> or both. because i do think we see the president trusting his instincts, going with his gut, getting rid of people who tell him you can't do that, you shouldn't do that, that's not a smart thing to do, and surrounding himself increasingly with his legal team, his economic team, and his national security team with people who will say you're exactly right, trust your gut, do what you think is the right thing to do, live with the consequences. >> ashley, does this match the reporting that the p

shouldn't become that kind of obsession in europe that it has become instanced some circles in washington and mr vandeman is has it become something of an obsession of mr bennett says in some circles because russia is behaving in a way that that it hasn't maybe in the last ten or fifteen years where it's not just interfering in countries that it sees and it's fear of interest or influence you know that are closer to russia but they're actually interfering in domestic processes and western european countries in america to an end a way that we haven't seen move recently well i think there's no question that there are large elements within the western. population in the united states and western europe that believe that we're moving very much towards a confrontational relationship with russia and i think that would be is unfortunate i think is that you have the same sort of mirror image in in russia also of people who want a confrontation and i don't think that's in the interest of anybody involved i think it's necessary to make clear demonstrations when russia steps beyond the acceptable bounds of

washington. >> trish: to the dust-up over this latest shakeup, mr. bill bennett. good to see you, sir. >> how are you, trish? >> trish: i'm good. are you surprised by this? >> i'm surprised by his reaction. a lot of people thought it was coming, this is washington. people come from the private sector, first of all. i have to get used to the fact that they have many bosses, not just a board of directors. i remember when i was drug czar, my second job, cabinet job, was tasked with helping get the drug problem in america, which we were able to do with the help of a lot of people. outside a report to 26 committees, this is part of life in washington. mr. shulkin didn't come for president reagan from the private sector. he came from the obama administration. that's the second point. the president should pick the people he wants for his -- at his pleasure. that's what it means. you serve at the pleasure of the president. >> trish: so is he overstating the toxic environment or perhaps he doesn't understand that's par for the course and something that he needs to deal with
