. >> in june 2019, robert f kennedy visited the pacific island nation of samoa as it was on the brinkfrom the death of two babies the year prior, caused by improperly prepared measles vaccinations. the two nurses who botched the doses were eventually found guilty of manslaughter and were sentenced to prison. all of that caused public confidence in the vaccine to crater. now, following those tragedies, the samoan government suspended measles vaccinations for months. by the time the vaccinations resumed, many patients still were not. many parents were not convinced that they were safe. as nbc's brandy zadrozny reported, quote, with fewer than a third of samoa's babies, vaccinated, experts and officials feared for the pacific island nation. but kennedy saw an opportunity, end quote. now, at the time, kennedy was running the children's health defense, which is an anti-vaccine nonprofit, that he founded. the organization and his partner, its partners, had been posting online about the two babies that died falsely blaming the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine itself for their deaths, not t

tonight was held ahead of the lunar new year to uplift and empower the queer, asian american and pacific islander community. hosted by celebrity chef melissa king. [music] king took tonight's lunar new year celebration at the chan national queer arts center to honor her heritage. chef king created a huge grazing station filled with various traditional dishes and snacks, from dim sum curry dumplings and lucky candies. the grazing table spanned 15ft of nostalgic foods, and chef king says tonight was all about bringing together not just the asian and queer communities, but people of all backgrounds. >> for me, food is about bringing people to the table, and that's exactly what we're doing here tonight. we are bringing people together through food, performance, art and just being really gay about it and having some fun. >> aside from food, tonight's event also had special performances, including lion dancers, performers like dj live, drag performer tilapia, and more. the event was held in partnership with the sf gay men's chorus. and finally, tonight we've been paying tribute to our former colleague

so that totals to like 650 for instance african-american and pacific islander is 150 per student.ow are those numbers determined and also particularly for special education because it would seem to vary so much depending on the student is it is it really like is it generally 100 per student or is it 100 plus whatever they need for their iep? how was the so the those those funding amounts are over and above as part of their allocation model that was developed and i think that those numbers have been the same for multiple years and so that's part of the their allocation model they get a non fte discretionary funding and then for each of those area each of those population of students then they they were providing an additional amount . so that's on top of what they get for their teachers there. yeah is there i mean what's the basis for making those decisions that i don't know because i wasn't here sorry um i'm cognizant of the time um i'm going to have vice president huling ask a quick clarifying question. i'll end with the question around timeline and next steps. i would like to as

during the cold war years, the island was a myth training center and for military efforts throughout the pacificd from treasure island and supported military activities in korea, vietnam and the persian gulf. >> the base was listed for closure by the navy in 1993 and the city began a process in 1994 under the redevelopment agency, forming a citizens reuse committee to look at potentially plans for the island, island's future. after the base closed in 1997, the treasure island development authority was created to develop and implement a reuse plan. >> the navy has completed their environmental cleanup in that area and last week, the california department of public health issued a radiology unrestricted recommendation for that portion of side 12. it's a big milestone for the project. >> the treasure island development facility was setup to implement the master plan that was adopted by the board of supervisors in 2011. >> given the importance of housing in the city, both the affordable component and the market rate housing, we felt that it was important to review what the housing plan is at treasur

cultural awareness months, including black history month, women's history month, asian american and pacific islander heritage month, pride month, national hispanic heritage month, national disability employment awareness month, and national american indian heritage month. however, president donald trump did issue a proclamation recognizing this month as national black history month. he says, quote, throughout our history, black americans have been among our country's most consequential leaders, shaping the cultural and political destiny of our nation in profound ways. american heroes such as frederick douglass, harriet tubman, thomas sowell, justice clarence thomas, and countless others represent what is best in america and her citizens. >> coming up next, three more hostages released by hamas, and one of them is an american. we'll have the very latest out of the middle east. >> and rallying in support of the transgender community. what local leaders are promising to do to make sure everyone gets equal protection under the law. >> good morning. a live look at the foggy, soggy start to our weekend. i

major observances, including black history month, women's history month, asian american and pacific islander heritage month, national hispanic heritage month, and national american indian heritage month. well, after more than three weeks of two deadliest and most destructive wildfires in southern california are now fully contained. the eaton and palisades fires started on january 7th. the eaton blaze tore through altadena, killing 17 people and destroying over 9000 buildings across 14,000 acres in the pacific palisades. 12 people died as flames consumed 23,000 acres and leveled more than 6000 structures. >> investigators in washington, d.c., are still trying to figure out what caused wednesday's collision between an american airlines flight and a u.s. army black hawk helicopter over the potomac river. there's a lot of work to do. cnn's pete muntean is following the investigation and the recovery efforts. >> it is the best view yet of. >> the worst. >> aviation disaster in decades. the army black hawk helicopter flying down the potomac river and directly into american airlines flight 53. 42.

black history month, women's history month, asian american and pacific islander heritage month, pridege month, national disability employment awareness month, national american indian heritage month. we also saw the defense intelligence agency go after holocaust remembrance day, saying that they were ordering a pause on all activities there, but this extends past just sort of diversity month. you have the department of agriculture was scrubbing any mention of climate change from its website. the cdc was scrubbing a bunch of hiv related content from its website and the office of personnel management sent a reference saying that all references to gender ideology, including email signatures that mentioned pronouns, those needed to be removed by 5 p.m. yesterday. so this is really a sweeping policy change. and they want to try to scrub all websites, all sorts of mention of anything related to ai and around the federal government. and again, this is president trump really doubling down, saying that he believes that this is the best way forward for our country. i will note that he did sign

national, african-american or black history month, women's history month, asian american and pacific islander heritage month, pride month, national hispanic heritage month, national disability employment awareness month, and national american indian heritage month. a similar declaration was made for the department of transportation, where secretary sean duffy linked the celebrations to two deadly recent plane crashes. again without evidence, just like the president did, he said, quote, these distractions do nothing to keep planes in the air, trains on the tracks, or ports and highways secure in the wake of two devastating plane crashes. my focus is singular, enforcing the highest standards of safety and accountability. joining us now, race and politics reporter for the hill, cheyenne daniels. cheyenne, let's just start with the proclamation over the weekend for black history month. what is the reaction that you've heard from federal employees from congress around the idea that even just one day before agencies are scrambling to cancel months that every single american knows we do every single

they are blatantly saying that anyone who is black, latino, hispanic, a woman, asian american, pacific islanderlikely got their job because of that gay right or bisexual even got there. trans is there because of that and not their qualifications. but somehow the white men. let's just be very clear, because that's what they're saying somehow. but if you are a white man, that's the merit. we're there because merit, you know, we worked hard, but the rest of y'all, y'all ain't work hard. y'all just are there because of diversity. to me, that is just they are so very clearly saying it. and i and i am concerned that from the white house briefing room on down to executives in the private sector and corporate america across this country seem to be just acquiescing to that ideology, essentially. >> can i also just underscore something that i think is embedded in what you just said? symone, i also worry that in addition to all of that, they are deputizing regular people to question why anyone who is not a white, straight, christian man has ascended to the role that they are in. and that scares me as much

they're targeting black history month, women's history month, asian american and pacific islander heritage month, pride month, national hispanic heritage month, national disability employment awareness month, and national american indian heritage month. now, the defense intelligence agency also ordered a pause on all activities related to a number of other things and other, we would say sort of other observances, including holocaust remembrance day. now, the department of agriculture is also doing something that's not related to these months, but that's something that is sort of encapsulated in all this dei stuff, and that is that they are scrubbing information about climate change. the cdc is also scrubbing information about a number of hiv related programs. and then we also saw the office of personnel management send out a note that said, by 5 p.m. yesterday that gender ideology, what they're calling gender ideology terms that they needed to be done away with, including pronouns, pronouns in email signatures. so this is really a sweeping anti dea movement by the trump administration. and

for a second about our history san francisco story is inseparable from its asian-american and pacific islandermunities since the 1800s when chinese immigrants helped build this city despite enduring the chinese exclusion act and widespread discrimination our communities have demonstrated unwavering resilience and commitment to justice. >> the api community knows the pain of being told we don't belong oh families separated by unjust laws of being treated as perpetual foreigners in our own home. but let me be clear we all have fundamental rights regarding regardless of immigration status every person has the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney and the right to refuse entry without a judicial warrant. but having rights isn't enough. we must know them and assert them. that's why community education is crucial. every employer needs to understand they don't have to let ice enter private spaces without a warrant. every principal and teacher must know they can protect student information. landlords must understand that they have no obligation to share tenant information. >> this isn't jus

let's take the pacific islanders as an example. one that is always forgotten. they are so small. and yet you know they need and some are going to have to balance what that is. how do you propose doing that in the next several weeks? >> we and i will pause here i think through specifics. we have enengage in the a process that really -- pushes the mayoral instructions to find contract efficiencies. we don't want to do it across the board we know we will impact certain contracts disproportionate that produce what we are paying for in the most optimal way. instead. we are work actively with all divisions to identify those areas where there being be efficiencies and savings. in the intent is t do this with a program lens and say, where are we not getting the most dollars for our effectiveness for our dollars. we are trying not to do across the board it does result in doubts efficient and infortunate programs. we are working with the programs that the people than the services the best to find where there are opportunity. >> okay. all right. so. i -- understand the task you have. regret

because they see an opportunity, particularly in the islands of the pacific, islands my father risked his life for during world war ii. they see in these pacific islands small countries where just a little bit of aid can go a long way for the very few people who live there. these are strategic islands, as we learned in the 1940's. and so china sees us abandoning the world and they come in. in a position to grow in world influence. and how much money are we talking about here? if you look at polling, americans say our foreign aid budget must be 25% of our federal budget and it should be lower. it should be down to 10%. of our federal budget. our foreign aid budget is less than 1% of our federal budget. no one has dreamt of it being 10%. it's less than 1% of our federal budget. it's less than one quarter of one percent of our g.d.p. with that, we can vie with china for influence. but there's more. there's health. a lot of usaid money is spent to deal with malaria, hiv-aids, tuberculosis, ebola and bird flu. so if you have no morality, you do not care whether the world's most powerful ec

cultural district in the bayview american indian cultural district sunset chinese cultural district pacific islander cultural district and of course the castro lgbtq cultural district. and each of these districts is managed by an independent nonprofit or a fiscally sponsored organization and most city is proud to manage the overall program and provide baseline operational funding via prop e hotel tax revenue. each district is charged with steering neighborhood specific policies and programs that best respond to community needs. they are also tasked with creating a chess report and chess stands for cultural history, housing and economic sustainability strategies. the chess then is a cultural legacy document a snapshot of the cultural community and a strategic plan that provides a roadmap for communities stabilization within the district. this program and the chess represent a partnership between community and city in addition to the castro communities contributions, we also work with colleagues at most cd the arts commission planning and the office of economic and workforce development to make sure t

no longer commemorate martin luther king day, holocaust day of remembrance, or asian american pacific islander heritage month, and so on. why is there such a fear of people who are different? in the way we celebrate diversity, it gives us strength, is part of what makes hawaii and america great. earlier you shared some deplorable, racist rhetoric that has been used against you. as someone who has also been the recipient of this sort of hateful language, i am deeply sympathetic. i also note that in the past you have recognized the value of diversity. when you were in law school, you signed onto an amicus brief in a case supporting consideration of race in law school admissions. i hope that joining the trump administration will not cause you to change your views on the value of diversity. reflecting on this hearing, it is sad we are considering mr. patel's nomination despite his gross inadequacy to do the job of fbi director fairly and objectively. yet there's no question that much pressure has been brought to bear on my republican colleagues to support this nomination. for example, a man named

including those representing black iowans, latinos, women, people with disabilities and asian, pacific islanders, communities that are marginalized and vulnerable and vote for decades to have a seat at the table. republicans call this fiscal responsibility. i just call it erasure. governor reynolds the iowa agency conducted a nonpartisan analysis of that bill. do you know how much money was saved when you eliminated those commissions? >> it was not about saving money, it was about putting more resources behind the department of human rights so that we could actually provide them more -- >> reclaiming my time. reclaiming my time. let me help you with the math. roughly $112,000 in your state budget was saved. so that is .001%. barely a rounding error. so honestly, given your current salary, iowans would've saved more money just by eliminating your salary. mr. cheer, i ask unanimous consent to enter the lsa fiscal note into the record. >> without objection, so ordered. >> in addition to cutting boards and commissions iowa started closing government agencies. this is the same thing that elon musk an

we also had about 30% of respondents from asian pacific islanders. once we're done analyzing the responses we will provide a report on the findings and begin a robust public engagement process. develop goals and actions on the highest priority needs. >> the next thing i'd like to talk about is a side letter agreement pursuant to the city charter. we are disclosing the contents of a side letter to the service critical labor contracts of the transport workers union. t.w. you local 254 the 9163 transit operators regarding inconvenience pay copies of the side letter and costing analysis are posted online at ww w dot sfm ted.com slash side letters. if the directors have questions this matter is on the agenda for our closed session today. and then i think my final item is to talk about the safer taylor ribbon cutting which is a really valuable safety project that we honored on january 3rd. we held a ribbon cutting for the safer taylor project which was a culminating a project that began in 2017 with community outreach and engagement. there were 94 collisio
