and you have not only a nonresponse from the u.s.ation, current administration, but you have russians in the government and associates of putin government right now saying, sure we're going to do this and we're going to do a lot more of it. we're going to take every advantage we can. that's what they do. they basically said we're going to do more of this and we said we're not going to do anything about it. >> all of this, the u.s. senate voted for russian sanctions 98-2. the administration has blocked imposing those sanctions. that's a pretty big giant thing in addition to the stuff we've been citing. you think about the trade war trump is about to enter into. if vladimir putin could want anything in the world, it would be the united states of america slapping tariffs on its allies that trade with it in terms of steel and aluminum and start a trade war among the countries of nato. that's what you're seeing here. again, the great dream of putin is not just that trump is not doing anything to look into election meddling, but the big ge

jeff sessions was totally nonresponsive? >> why? >> i don't know. if jeff sessions doesn't want to do the job of attorney general, he should step aside and get somebody who wants to do that job. we won't get a special counsel unless the attorney general appoints one. we don't have that power. we can't throw people in jail. we can simply uncover the facts but now with the facts congress is uncovered and the inspector general expects to report within the coming weeks, we have to have someone who can bring accountability. one of the reasons trey gowdy is coming on board with this, he's gone through benghazi where we had all the bad facts and no one went to jail. there was no accountability. >> am i hearing a drum beat with regard to jeff sessions? do your job or get out? i heard it from many members of congress now. >> it's very frustrating when you want to get answers from the attorney general and you're referred to the office of rod rosenstein and you meeting with his deputies instead of getting real responses from the attorney general who has an obl

he was described as making strange hand motions while otherwise being nonresponsive, while his 33-year-old daughter slumped next to him unconscious with her eyes rolled back in her head. sergei skripal. he was seen in russia as a very, very consequential double agent. somebody who's spying for britain had done profound damage to russian intelligence services. and because of that, it doesn't take a great leap of imagination to figure out why somebody might have wanted to ait ta-- attack him. we is still have no explanation for how it happened the way it did. it was quite near to the british science and technology lab. that's exactly the secret facility in britain that would be used to identify a suspected chemical or biological agent. according to british authorities, the agent that was used to attack skripal and his daughter was a very specifically identifiable russian nerve agent, the opposite of a generic poison. this isn't like sarin which is hard to make. but scientists in a japanese doomsday cult figured out how to use it and gas a subway platform in tokyo. this isn't ricin. this was

nonresponse to various cyber attacks. and particularly the state sponsored cyber attacks. where does the responsibility lie to develop a whole government strategy to respond to cyber attacks. particularly state sponsored cyber attacks. >> so an overall strategy, senator, would emanate from the executive branch. in erms it of what the department of defense would do. obviously is planned for certain responses and if directed conduct those activities. >> so when you say the executive branch, do you mean the president of the united states should be the person convenes all of you to develop the government strategy as to how to respond to these ongoing cyber attacks? particularly the state sponsored cyber attacks. >> obviously the national security counsel would be the lead that would do that today. do you know if that's happening now. they're taking the lead to develop a strategy. >> my current responsibility it's not something that i'm aware of today. if confirmed, something i would lean into. >> that's good. what is the number one on your list of priorities for cyber to accom

so far he's been nonresponsive to that. senior media reporter. a big media story from fox news, a dramatic exit. >> a remarkable exit letter by fox news contributor ralph peters, a long time analyst on the channel, big critic of president obama, fan of president trump. it's remarkable to hear this person of all people saying fox is a propaganda machine, we can put on screen, part of what he said in this dramatic exit letter. today i feel fox news is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. this is a fox plow talking about fox. he went on to say he's proud of the network when he was working there for a while but no more. he says now he's no longer proud to be there. he's choosing not to renew his contract. fox is responding by saying we respect his opinion and even though he's trying to get attention out of all of this on the way out the door. i've never seen anything quite like this. a contributor from fox news base he canally blowing the whistle and saying this is

and number two, that the flaws in the nonresponsive bids could not easily be cured.is determination was made internally based on policy considerations with the time sensitivity -- >> but we don't have the funding. >> i understand. i understand. >> we don't have the funding. either you have to come back to us for approval for additional funding, or -- >> you've budgeted. >> i don't understand. i don't understand what you're putting before us. >> let me try to clarify what is before you. at editional money, first of all for 31 -- i'm sorry for 29, you put into your capital budget. it's headed towards the board of supervisors for signature by the mayor this summer. that's when the funds would become available should they make our recommendation on the capital budget which typically they do. so we anticipate that the funding will be available -- >> but if it's not? >> if it's not, we have full -- what we're asking for to you do today is to approve the contract for the improvements for pier 31½ in the amount of $7,516,768. now and then we're asking that in the summer, sho

and then my second question is on page two, isabel urbano, she has been nonresponsive to making payment arrangements and has ceased communications. she lives in approximate new york. do we have any recourse there, any remedies that we can pursue? >> so this -- isabel urbano's matter has been turned into a small claims judgment, so there is a uniform recognition of judgment act or uniform -- some process by which a state can file their judgment and obtain recognition in a district court, which would be in another jurisdiction, so the bureau of delinquent revenues has the option to pursue her in new york if they would put the time and resources into trying to get that sister judgment recognized in that court and then executing in that court in new york, but that would be their only option. >> commissioner chiu: okay. thank you. any public comment? seeing no public comment, item ten, discussion of executive director's report, an update of various program attic and optional highlights of commission staff activity since the commission's last month meeting. >> thank you, chair chiu. this is -

concluded that andrew mccabe should be fired based on a recommendation from the justice department's nonresponsiveeral looking into the fbi's handling of the clinton investigation and the ig focused in on a conversation they had with a reporter last october about the fbi's investigation of the clinton foundation and what they concluded was when the ig asked about this, mccabe wasn't candid in his answer and they recommended he be fired. that recommendation is now before attorney general sessions who can accept or reject it. it's in essence an appeal to sessions, but the expectation is the attorney general will accept the fbi's recommendation. yes, that would be just three or four days before andrew mccabe is scheduled to retire. now, he stepped down as fbi deputy director in late january, but he's still on the payroll. his plan was to retire on sunday. if he's fired by sunday, it would replace his pension as a 21-year veteran of the fbi in jeopardy. >> wow. pete williams, thank you very much for clarifying that for us. we appreciate it. stephanie ruhle, let's talk about larry kudlow. coming from c

nonresponse is the best strategy moving forward. >> what are they determining? >> so far they say the president has huddling with his attorney talking to other white house officials. and realizing if he draws this out in any way with miss daniels it's something he's not really to accept at this moment. >> there's someone who is working to draw this out and that is michael avenatti, stormy daniels' lawyer. this is an adversary that is different for the president. this isn't a member of congress who's going to sit back and let the president that you some punches and go by. >> the president claims or his attorneys claim he's party to a nondisclosure agreement. if you were to comment on this situation that he has with stormy daniels it's actually nullify the nondisclosure agreement to which he is party. it's really unlike trump just to refuse all the weigh around to respond to a story that's this big. the white house says this doesn't arise to the level of a presidential tweet. the level for a presidential tweet is extremely low. let's be real, i think what's going

witnesses described him making strange hand motions while otherwise being nonresponsive while his 33-year-old daughter slumped next to him unconscious with her eyes rolled back in her head. sergei skripal and his daughter yulia. he was seen as a very, very consequential double agent, somebody whose spying for britain had done profound damage to russia's intelligence services. it doesn't take a great leap of imagination why someone might have wanted to attack him, who had the strongest motive to attack him? but since he was attacked in britain last week, we still have no explanation for why it happened exactly the way it did. where the attack happened in salisbury, it was quite near to the british military's science and technology lab. that's exactly the secret facility in britain that would be used to identify a suspected chemical or biological agent. according to british authorities, the agent that was used to atrack skripal and his daughter was a very specifically identifiable russian nerve agent. it's the opposite of a generic poison. this isn't like sarin, which is hard to make bu

that will allow us to free up resources for the nonresponse follow-up. people knock on your doors, they talk to your landlord, your neighbors. also using third-party administrative data, records from state agencies to help fill the gaps. two out of the three sites for the dress rehearsal, the census ongoing right now, had to be canceled. was, for example, in west virginia and would have focused on rural areas. we also had previous test sites for other aspects of the senses that had to be canceled. tribal areas, puerto rico, to test multilingual operations. we are going in with less confidence and certainty, although hopefully we will learn a lot from the tests ongoing, about how this internet and i.t. infrastructures going to work. the technology is not just about responding. it is also about the devices that enumerators will use to canvas, also training. just to get a sense of how thorough the census bureau is. they tested automated training for the numerators. he automated training would be much cheaper and faster and easier. there were shortcomings th

to get as many people to fill out the census online because that will allow us to prioritize the nonresponse. will be talking to your landlords and neighbors and third-party data to help fill in the gaps. two out of the three test sites the dress rehearsal as it's called, they had to be canceled and one was in west virginia, a point of focus on rural areas and we also had previous test sites for other aspects that had to be canceled. we decided to test multilingual operations so we were going in with a lot less confidence and certainty at this point although i think we will learn a lot about how well this internet and it in the structure will work. the technology is not just about responding. it's all about devices and numerators we use in training. there is some testing, just to get a sense of how carol it is , how does that work with in person training. automated training would be faster and easier and nevermind the challenges with connectivity issues and address canvassing. in virginia they try to go around and verify the addresses. we don't have cell phone access everywhere which this pr

because that will allow us to free up resources for what we called a nonresponse follow-up, where people knock on your doors, they talk to your landlord, your neighbors, and also be using some third-party data, administrative data, records from state agencies, state medicaid agencies and others to fill in some of the gaps. put two out of the three test sites for the dress rehearsal, as terriann calls it, the end-to-end test, of the census going on right now, had to be canceled. one was, for example, in west virginia, would have focused on rural areas. and we also had previous test sites for other aspects of the census that had to be canceled in tribal areas, in puerto rico, which was intended in that case to test multilingual operations. so we're going in with a lot less sort of confidence and certainty at this point, although hopefully we'll learn a lot from the current end-to-end test in providence, rhode island, that's ongoing about how well this internet and i.t. infrastructure is going to work. but the technology is not just about responding, right? so it's also about the devices th

the non-apology nonresponse is better for you than for me. i can't really elucidate the matter any further. we most important point is are actually certainly will get a great deal. as we are working for. >> we do not accept the implications would be very serious? and that it is appropriate and in customary the parliament receives, normally within two unacceptable that we have been waiting more than a year? sec. johnson: i understand your concerns completely. it's not a matter for us. i think the point i would make is, no deal is better than a bad deal. we have heard that answer before. i'm very concerned about the judicial system. it got tens of thousands of people at the same time. we need to ensure that are fair [indiscernible] sec. johnson: thank you. yes, you are quite right in what you say. about thecerned system or the workload they have. i may, i would like to write to you about what steps we may be taking to support the legal system. i have an idea in my head. i don't want to mislead the committee now that we are doing. quick comment

however, ncis was nonresponsive to the investigating okinawa concerns. overall, it appeared that really there was no need to delve into wilson's past to discover prior misconduct despite the fact that he was charged with a child's sex crime. and even though wilson had been behaved in a sexually and in inappropriate way in the straley and to include nude photos of his captains wives on the facebook messenger, ncis did not seize wilson's personal devices. i cannot wrap my brain around the failure of ncis to act swiftly to seize his personal devices. this failure has me questioning heavily how lower ranking service members in situations like ours are treated and how their cases are handled. nearly five months, five months into the investigative process our case was assigned to three , powerhouse attorneys who did an unbelievable job in seeing to it that justice was somewhat served for our daughter. our case went to the general court-martial where wilson was found guilty of sexual assault of a child, con -- of a child, conduct unbecoming of an officer and ge

two, agencies are holding them responsible for the safety of their products here they are holding nonresponse will for the church of what they say in their label. and so, from my days, i think it's appropriate to companies are sponsoring research with all the consolidation that's occurred over the last several decades. one of the consequences of that has been to decrease in the actual research facilities that food companies have these days. so they are increasingly looking to university-based scientists to do specific studies for them. so yeah, i do think the controls that the regulatory agencies have in place are appropriate. i do think the kind of scientific integrity standard that eric mentioned as well are enormously important for the scientific community as well as in general as well as for the agency's funding the research to make sure they are put in place in the combination things are going to act interactive are both positive. >> do we have any more questions? in the back over here. >> hi, lisa laffer and i want to follow up on something that mike was just saying about what happens.

little frustrating following donald trump's response from russia because you have the president's nonresponse verbally, but at the same time you've had going back a year you've had the vice president of the united states sounding like ronald reagan in 1982. very tough on russia. nikki haley, people were shocked by what she said this past week. they shouldn't be. she's been consistently tough against russia. you've had mcmaster -- general mcmaster consistently being tough against russia. this seems to be -- yesterday seemed to be the moment when it all came together regardless of what the president is or is not saying. >> joe, you always have to wait and make sure that the rhetoric of one day is sustained into the next, but yes, it does seem as if -- as if a corner was turned in what the president himself was willing to say. he directly blamed the russians for poisoning this russian former spy who was living peacefully in salisbury england, poisoned with this terrible soviet era nerve agent. the unified response from britain, france, germany and the united states against russia, the decision b
