we recognize the gentle lady from wisconsin, ms. moore for one minute. >> thank you so much. it's lovely to see you again. i'm going to paraphrase and channel ben franklin. dodd frank gave us a stable economic system if we can keep it. it will be directly related to republican policymakers enter president. the trickle down tax cuts adopting their policies that drives income inequality in the wells fargo that would put payday loans to pay it back. destabilizing the financial deregulation and unqualified nominees like kathy to hit the consumer financial protection bureau. capricious trade wars farmers in my state bracing, fiscal mismanagement, incompetence it all seems to be hallmarks of mr. as we discussed, you have been called for such a time as this. god bless you. . . that have not fully recovered from the great recession. even with the job growth and economic recovery, it's uneven. in economic terms there is no average american anymore. the whole cohort of communities across the country continue to experience the kind of stress that threatens their sustainability as commun

ms. melgar asked for that. >> commissioner moore: i didn't hear that. i must not properly listen. thank you. >> commissioner richards: you had the 30,000 parcels and took out this and that and layered it, so i know they exist -- >> yeah, the maps, i believe, are still available on the san francisco planning website. i don't have the ability to make the maps at supervisor tang's office, but i'm sure that paulo can pull them up. >> president hillis: and people should contact the staff to know where it applies. they do get tricky in the zoning districts, but it will be in places where we're not seeing a lot of development. those that we are seeing development, we've lifted density controls. if you are concerned, one, it's probably -- there are maps that exist and you should contact the planning staff. all right. is there a second? a motion and a second. >> commissioner richards, did you second that? >> commissioner richards: i did. >> vice president melgar: no, milli did. >> apologies. there's been a motion seconded to approve this proposed ordinance with staff modifications excludin

ms. mcdougall's claim of an affair with mr. trump was totally untrue. we now have president trump on tape talking about such a deal. joining us, simone sanders, also campaign manager for hillary clinton, robert moorehave you guys here to talk about the future of campaigns, but i want to wrap up the past. hope hicks denied that they had any knowledge of an agreement with karen mcdougal. had the campaign admitted they knew about this, would that have had an impact on the election? >> i'm sure it would have had an impact if we had this tape. how much i can't say. but i will say we knew the president lied. we knew that before election daigh. we knew that the russians had some sort of bizarre influence over him. but coming out of election day, there have been so many things. meetings with the russians, other lies that he's told that we've learned, and i think the most important lesson coming out of this tape and everything else is we've just got to start believing that the president is lying when we hear it the first time. the pattern here is so clear, and i just hope some people out there don't get fooled again next time. this man is a habitual liar and all he cares about is his own fragile ego. that'
