commissioner paulson?i don't want to be the only commissioner that doesn't say a few words no that we're initiating these wonderful recognitions again but i just know that, you know, despite the wonderful experience and the training and the -- you know, all the dedication that these retires have demonstrated and lived their -- you know, their working careers with in the city. that i just know that, you know, during much of what i do for a living when i'm not sitting on the commission is making sure that folks that actually work in departments and work in both the public and private sector have a voice that works so they are part of the infrastructure and, in particular here, the departments that they worked in and that they did have representation and that is what makes for the success that this wonderful agency has is that, you know, there's engagement. this isn't done with people having their heads buried in the sand. but workers have always in ways that some people don't even know, do have their own inp

me, milton object coming on board to sonia that we're hearing norgard jesse called transcripts for paulson ashburn, this young man who will call june. he's one of the many people smuggled in by an j . he was brought from lithuania to warsaw, where he then went into hiding and feel calmer when i'm throwing something at this that have me comer, sho, lives in constant fear of the traffic is as an orphan. he lived with his grandmother in vietnam. but when she died, he had to survive by collecting and filling muscles, snails, driftwood, and plastic bottles. only when my way we normally solidly are taking a turn on that. i didn't the ma'am knowing that i am one, neil, i'm calling on you in homer. so in a way i'm going one tech on the with him. good um. until we die all night you in the desert, the air, good earth and the it now then uncle the only the marlo, n u a t. as in 90 song, no $57.00 loyalty noting south nissan don't do it. the human smuggling ruge tune was taken own stretches from vietnam to poland. like most of his compatriots, he was transported across russia to the baltic nations and

because we were told we cannot take leaves. paulson for workers who are demanding better working conditions and more b. 1 am ronnie has done and i'm been writing center for 9 years. she says she's so overlooked that she doesn't have time for her own children. the government doesn't value women's labor. think we will work a lot for very little wages as women, we end up accepting these dumps because we figured at least we're earning something because unemployment has skyrocketed under this company. on the bodies will 1st set up decades ago to fight child hunger and malnutrition. in viet luman, like john health monitor the health of children and their mothers and distribute food rations. with this immediately to families, i'm good body workers like johnny have close access to the 1000 people the each have under their care. so over the years they've been charged with looking after many additional social benefits and are now handling extra duty is to help out jordan demick without any added compensation just by bit increasing workload. these local is our only recognizes more than 2 years. one of

who's been there for a very long time longer than glad to be put in in paulson's 1994. so that is also important. the other thing that is important and interesting is that they a, now they say this is not just a war on the ground it and information war and they're fighting back in that. and we understand that the european union, as an entire block is going to ban russia today, r t. and also sputnik, those, all russian communication channels, russian media outlets that broadcast and disseminate that information across the european union. they are going to band them, i think is pretty certain you'll get a pretty soon response pretty soon from the russian side. and that's the, that's the downside of this and quite possible, you're going to see journalists working for europe and outlets expelled from moscow . that seems to me a lightly retaliation for. ready what has just been announced by the european union . all the meetings are ongoing during, as we speak. one is just concluding and that's the interior ministers. they have a meeting to try and see how they can help with

has started in the dominion of jacoby tom or junior runner mortgage, just called transcripts for paulson ashburn, this young man who will call june, is one of the many people smuggled in by an jay. he was brought from lithuania to warsaw, where he then went into hiding and feel calmer, well and throwing something at this. her have me calmer. shewn lives in constant fear of the traffic is as an orphan. he lived with his grandmother in vietnam, but when she died he had to survive by collecting and filling muscles, snails, driftwood, and plastic bottles. only when my way we normally sound too, i didn't take it to pin on that. i didn't the ma'am knowing that i am one ne, alarm code only within hallway. so anyway, i am going one tech on on with him. good um, until we die all night yet and he does the air good earth and the at now. then i'm going with the only to marlow, can you imagine 90 song look for the sound of the loyal noting south in these and all you will do it. the humans smuggling ruge june was taken on stretches from vietnam to poland. and like most of his compatriots, he was trans

remember when wall street was timothy guy there and hank paulson, they put a gun effectively to congress his head and said, give us many trillions of dollars to bail out our friends. or we're going to collapse the stock market. and so congress acquiesced, of course, because they have no will of their own. and that money could have gone in the infrastructure. so here we are 1012 years later, and major bridges are collapsing infrastructures collapsing because america is being held hostage by financial terrorists. it's been this way for 20 years. there's no change that i can see bitcoin as a way out. but i think america's got a case of stockholm syndrome. they fall in love with their captors. so of course, trillions upon trillions of dollars were printed not just even in credit, like via the fed and quantitative easing and expanding their balance sheet, but also from the actual us treasury by a congress when they, they had also the fiscal stimulus. trillions of dollars was sent out. so we do have, you know, the inflation of that we've discussed, but apparently none of it reached anywhere ri

executive branch already has a capital gains deferral, and the "new york post" says in 2006, when hank paulson of goldman sachs to become treasury secretary under george w. bush he saved about $200 million in capital gains taxes. and wealthy members of congress like nancy pelosi and her husband paul pelosi who owns a venture capital firm would also stand to gain millions and millions and, by the way, if congress members die before the assets are sold, their heirs would pay zero capital gains taxes. >> jesse: it's just so corrupt. i can't even believe it, trace. oh. good god. thank you. >> trace: you bet. >> jesse: after weeks of brinks manship charges of false flag operations and charges of war propaganda shuttle diplomacy and conflicting reports of war games, joe biden spoke today and "jesse watters primetime" still has no idea what putin is going to do. and if what biden is doing is even working. >> russian defense minister reported today that some military units are leaving their positions near ukraine. that would be good, but we have not yet verified that. our analysts indicate that there

tim paulson and ron insana a cnbc contributor and a market historian.on, let's start there with you. in the past when individual stocks have gone through these kinds of large single or multi-day declines like this what has it said about what's next in the market or the underlying health of the market? >> it is interesting an early teacher who created in technical terms the bands so useful as a trading tool told me that volatility in individual stocks often leads volatility in the overall market so i think the types of swings may not be healthy and a market that particularly the companies move so much priced for perfection and levered to a zero interest rate environment as that begins to change and the thesis stays the same that main street has a better year than wall street we are in for some really choppy trading and more of the types of swings given did data supports a less friendly fed going forward. >> basically the swings have been so great in part because the prices and the valuations were so high ron said a 20 to 25% pullback in the s&p by no mea

those come with i think marina florence peter mucous paulson. they grabbed me outside the hospital. my ex wife had had a baby and i just felt rage that they abused me. like a ran really slant oh, do you get people pulled? i'm here for a crime in the family. a fight between my sister and my ad hominem. put that in my my they, they like it. i mean, you by the phone. i've been here a while for you for years and 4 months that the was that i was tested. my old girlfriend had a daughter, a new nanina. yes i was is the superior. my ex and my sister had a fight. my sister pushed her. yes eva, off went up. it says they were walking and she and her daughter fell down the stairs and it will. and i'm here because of the daughter embodied them. so you know me, i took responsibility for a death test or yankee newman, even if i got it on i thought my siblings would support me here. the museum monmouth said prince you because you had 1st now they took care of me, follow it up with them. they forgot about me and stop coming gentlemen of it. come all night. no he media no visits in a year and a half.

. >> janice paulson says as an older person who is in contact with other seniors who say don'w listen to the news it's too depressing and bad. they want to take advantage of the people we can't let them do that. >> it is power. you have to be curious. one of the biggest problems is lack of education in this country. lack of decent room boarding. we consider a great motor turn maslightly over 50%. you need to take democracy seriously. it was thomas jefferson who said, he fought tooth and nail. i covered in that as well. sudha bunch of times. trying to get people to stop burning things. the choice between no government andr no press he would gladly take no government or words to that effect. i think you have to be involved. democracy doesn't work and less people involved in educated. >> follow-up. question from arlene. she says do you have ideas of how the u.s. cannot guard rails to social media considering our first amendment? this is where many get the news. destructive to society. >> well, that is a good question i think that that is covered in the book. pick up the book and read it.

hear what chief investment strategist at leuthold group has to say about this, jim paulson. give you props. this market living out the script you wrote for us a year ago. you called this action to a t. the question now of course is, i read where you think that concerns, the concerns about fed and inflation are somewhat overblown at this point. why? >> i think they are, charles. on both fronts. certainly rates are going to go up. certainly inflation is high but we've got into a point to where people's expectations for both of those, things could come in still bad but, far better than feared. that would be a actually good result for the markets. i think the biggest reason i'm somewhat optimistic here on things, is that people believe, fear of runaway inflation because of the federal reserve and the treasury has done nothing to stand in its way. reality, charles, when i look at monetary, fiscal, yield curve or dollar palsy, everyone of those policies has undergone a significant tightening since last march. charles: right. >> usually there is about a one year lag between those p

. >> commissioner paulson: second. >> president moran: roll call please. [roll call vote] you have three ayes. >> president moran: minutes from approved. >> clerk: item 5, general public comment. members of the public my address the commission on matters that are within the commission's jurisdiction and not on today's agenda by dialing (415)655-0001, meeting i.d. 2481 738 9289 pound pound. press star 3 to speak. >> there are six callers in the queue. >> caller: the commissioner, we have very clear idea now about the community benefits and all along this time, even as we have been bringing to your attention, we want accountability and transparency. we haven't received it. i think the time has come to review whatever documents are there in terms of adjudication and to have a hearing. community benefits have been given to some people that did not deserve it. people have been charged and you commissioners know a lot about the discrepancy and now it must be full transparency. we cannot kick the can down the street. we also need whoever is in charge on the commu

. >> stay tuned because we're going to talk to paulson who points out a lot of things and it almost soundstransitory but we'll talk to him in a second first, though, we have the day's edition of liesmania and the liesmaniacs are gathered >> yeah, this is not a good report i don't know how much of those were affected. you had food up on the month used car prices up 1.5%. apparel up 1.1%. and airline fares up 2.3%. owners equivalent rent up 0.4. and there may be worst to come i did not expect much alleviation there. i thought maybe there could be some help at all from some of the omicron related sectors, but it doesn't appear as if they helped either. so we have high inflation, joe, and i think this keeps the fed in its appointed rounds of raising rates. i do want while i'm talking to take a quick look at the chance of a 50 basis point rate hike for march. i don't think that's a possibility. i don't see it up -- oh, wow, it is up a lot. it just spiked, joe. i went at it it was 30% probability going in. it is now the odds on mark here, my friend. i don't know if rick can see the same thing i

so yeah, janice paulson says as an older person who is in contact with other seniors who say i don't listen to the news. it's too depressing and sad makes me upset ignorance is what they want to take advantage of the people and i'll just power and we can't let them take it back from us more of a statement. but yeah. your thoughts yeah. knowledge is power and you have to be curious and want the knowledge one of the biggest problems is a lack of education in this country lack of decent reporting and guess what? we don't vote. i mean, you know, we consider a great voter turnout slightly over 50% which means even if a majority of the voters vote you in that's still a minority of the electorate you need to take democracy seriously, and you know it was well thomas jefferson who's said if he had you know, he fought tooth and nail and i cover that in the book too. he fought tooth and nail with a free press and and actually sued a bunch of times and tried to get people to stop printing things. but he said, you know given the choice between a no government or no, press he gladly take no govern

as is the s&p, nasdaq though basically flat under a little bit of pressure so joining us now, jim paulsonrning. you say that the short term risks for equities are skewed to the down side. do you think that we have further to fall? >> yes, i think so i think of course the russia thing is completely untradable in a sense a lot of moving parts there. but i think to focus on what is happening at the fed, i think that the way that risky assets broadly are viewing it, despite the fact that you've had a pretty dramatic shift in monetary policy expected, they are taking advantage of it well. i think the reason is because we think that the feds have things under control but we are not that confident >> okay. so jim, your take on this especially given the fact that we are entering the fed tightening cycle there does seem to be the sense that it will be pretty aggressive pretty quickly. >> certainly the russian debacle could be impactful the next few weeks no doubt but i think over the next few months that we're get close to going back up again maybe to new highs. i like the combination of a lot of

joining us is jim paulson and stephanie link portfolio management at h hightower adviser and cnbc contributoryou said something i think is important it is difficult to make a call when you have seen the volatility in the markets at this point you think we are near the bottom of things than the top on this you think we have gotten through what will happen with the correction >> i do. that's my bet. i'm not saying it will not be volatile for a few more weeks. i think investors should think beyond the next six weeks and think forward to the next six months becky, i think we have been in correction for almost a year if you own small cap and russell 2000 stocks, it is the same level day as the start of january of last year the same thing for international stocks the s&p 500 has been flat since may. everything has been watched. small cap, large cap, growth everything has gone through the vix index with three trips above 35 intraday since thanksgiving mostly above 25 since that period calls through the roof aaia with bulls minus 20 on the full week average. all those are signals that sentiment is wa

sfpuc commissioner tim paulson has stated from the dais that he saw his role on the commission as deferring to staff for the profession -- professionals. is this a closed-loop? thank you. [please standby for captioner switch] >> supervisor peskin: i will say that many of these charter amendments for including the police commission, the planning commission, for any number of commissions. next speaker, please. >> caller: good morning. i oppose this charter amendment on a number of grounds but largely because this significantly changes the balance of power in san francisco and significantly changes the structure of the way our city is run and i know on wednesday, there were a lot of arguments made by the proponents of the people who had called in saying that other cities do it this way, well, other cities are different. most of those cities that you called upon have five to seven supervisors. so if we want to cut down significantly, then that might make sense. our city is structured differently. if you want to talk about changing the structure of the city, at least be honest about it. but don'
