>> pappas: no!ns out most of the 51 cancer patients in the johns hopkins study experienced "significant decreases in depressed mood and anxiety" after trying psilocybin. two-thirds of them rated their psilocybin sessions as among the most meaningful experiences of their lives. for some, it was on par with the birth of their children. >> pappas: to this day, it evolves in me. >> cooper: it's still alive in you. >> pappas: it's still absolutely alive in me. >> cooper: does it make you happier? >> pappas: yeah. and i don't necessarily use the word "happy." comfortable. like, comfortable. i mean, i've suffered from anxiety my whole life. i'm comfortable. that, to me, okay, i can die. i'm comfortable. ( laughs ) i mean, it's huge. it's huge. ( ticking ) [farmers bell] (burke) at farmers insurance, we've seen almost everything, so we know how to cover almost anything. even a "three-ring fender bender." (clown 1) sorry about that...

. >> commissioner pappas? >> just one thing. i was not here last month, and you might have addressed it. will we be getting some report with the passage of prop b how that will affect the department? >> thank you. i forgot to mention that to you. we essentially are going to roll out the name change slowly, so one of the things that we can do right now is we can start talking about the name as department of ageing and disability services. we have changed over our letterhead, that kind of stuff. but the reason we're doing it -- there's two reasons we're doing it slowly -- well, really, one reason. because we're doing an agency rebrand and we're launching that rebrand very early in the year, we are kind of waiting to change over things like business cards and all of that and really do a push to the public until we have a new logo and we're able to get that logo on business cards and we're able to get ready to go, so you'll certainly hear a piece of that. you'll be hearing about that and be asked to spread the word, as well. so we'l

pappas: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today on behalf of communities across the nation that have been contaminated with pfas. pfas represents a clear and present danger to families in my district and i'm disappointed that certain provisions to protect public health and our environment were abandoned by negotiators of the national defense authorization act. i'm encouraged that several pfas-related provisions were included, like the one i introduced which creates a clearinghouse of information for affected service members and their families, and one that phases out the use of pfas and fire fighting foam by 2024. but congress should have seized the opportunity to go much further in protecting people from these toxic forever chemicals. using provisions for drinking water standards, environmental protections and cleanup was a shameful missed opportunity. people are getting sick from pfas contamination and families are scared and they're looking to us for answers. they need action now and we must continue to fight for he

lemonis: tom etheridge and nancy pappas. they owned worldwide trailers. nancy: nancy pappas.ice to meet you. tom: hey, marcus. tom etheridge. lemonis: when they weren't fighting and backstabbing, this former couple ran a company that made custom concession trailers. and so, this is essentially a commercial kitchen. their product was good, and they were generating about $4 million in revenue. and they were even making a profit -- about $400,000 a year. i wanted in. the check that i write will be $700,000, and i get 50% of the business. nancy: we got a deal. -lemonis: we got a deal? -tom: we got a deal. lemonis: i knew with a few adjustments, this business could grow quickly. they built the trailers in georgia, but tom and nancy ran it from an office 300 miles away in tampa. tom: we're paying two mortgage payments. that's like 2,300 bucks a month. lemonis: if they could consolidate, they would be much more efficient and save a lot of money. nancy: 60 grand is what we're paying in a year to transport them just down here. -lemonis: would you move? -nancy: absolutely not. i live o

commissioner pappas? >> will we receive copies of that letter? >> yes, you did. >> thank you. apparently not well thought out when they decided to make city college free. >> so how many staff are affected by this at city college? >> i could -- i don't have that data yet. my cochair, sue horst, is compiling that. some classes are once a week, some multiple, the number of agencies, and the approximate cost of those efforts, so once we get that, we'll include that. >> and the approximate cost, this is very specific to the organizations that daas funds. ballpark, it's probably around $400,000 annually. >> that was my next question. >> yeah. >> how many agencies did daas fund will be affected by this? >> there will be a number of them. a number of senior centers will be affected. >> do we know how -- if any members of the board of supervisors are engaged in this? i know that raphael mandelman was a trustee at city college, and he might be someone that we could also ask for suggestions as to how to address this. >> so this is all very short term. we just learned of this. and case wi

angie craig trying to say she's doing this on principle, and chris pappas saying the president has brought this upon us. >> they're waiting to see what the response is, because they think if they're vulnerable, they can convince them not to vote with it. but if it's by principle and they say they're voting for him to be impeached, they're publishing that, making it clear how these voters feel about this, because they want to be able to pressure him, but they want to get as many votes as possible. that's why the van drew thing is interesting. if he was going to switch to republican before the vote, wouldn't it make more sense to vote against impeachment and they can say, here's another democrat who voted against this? >> a number of democrats could presumably go for one ask nnd n the other, and they can say, i basically used my discretion in trying to decide which one. >> but that voting point is crucial in the narrative of how we're all going to look at this thing and how it gets translated down to voters in terms of who won or who lost in politics. whether democrats lose by two votes or s
