these are our budget priorities. we are now presenting them to different departments. >> has anyone met with the departments, department to ask whether or not they would be able to include any of the funding specifically for this particular topic? >> thithis is the first time the youth commission is doing the budget pen betation to the -- presentation. it is usually in the priorities in may. right now it is february. we are looking through all of our budget priorities. this is a lesson learned moment. hopefully, this will allow for room. hold up, maybe we shouldn't appear for the budget just yet. >> the reason we are doing this. in the past we would give the budget priorities long after these would happen like in may we would be doing this thing now. like everything we would say we wanted as budget priority wouldn't have an effect on the actual budget. this year we are doing it earlier. >> to ask if there is money to help implement this, is that right. >> like today we met with budget and finance committee with the b

i'm impressed with your work and the priorities you laid out here. on the transformative justice committee slide you talked about mandatory instruction for law enforcement officers for youth cognitive development and interactions with youth. i think that sounds really important and promising, and i'm wondering if you know of any programs out there that other departments are using, or if there's a sample program that you're thinking of, or if you know of anything. >> well, there was already a program implemented in the last year, but it only trained 25 officers, as opposed to the 2,000-plus officers in the sfpd. we wanted an expansion of the program to create a program that can be taught to all sfpd officers that works with both community organizations and the city to create, like, a baseline instruction, because we think it's really important that all officers are trained in this and not just a few. >> supervisor stefani: perfect, great, thank you. >> supervisor fewer: yes, supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: well, i would like to echo vic

>> this is a matter of priorities here, as you mentioned. tasked with juggling these priorities and we came to an agreement. now these are the same individuals, the house freedom caucus, by the way, that whispered in the president's ear that he should force a shutdown. the offer then was 1.6 billion in barrier and he has less now. >> right. and they're saying we want more. this is a tricky thing for you because politics are at play. democrats have always funded physical barriers. sometimes it's we want to repair and replace. we don't want to add too much more. and then because the president made it a binary proposal, wall or no wall, all of a sudden democrats hardened up. not a dollar for the wall. nancy pelosi called it immoral so how hard of a sell is this on the democrat side? you're funding the wall to the tune of more than a billion dollars? >> let's keep in mind what the president's promise was, it was a sea to shining sea wall that mexico was going to pay for. that's not happening here. we asked, give us evidence based approaches on w

>> it is a priority. i know from chief rivera's side, because all of those item right side under his umbrella, it is very much a priority, and we will continue towo work wit the mayor's office on that. >> commissioner veronese: how about the training issue? is that going to be a bond issue? >> we will have more information as we move forward on that process, and there will be reports to the commission as we get closer, but that has been allocate today the bond, essentially, not as part of our general operating budget. >> commissioner veronese: in those discussions about the in-house repair staff, there have been any continued questioning to specific contracts and preparements? >> correct. we're working with the vehicle side on having either thresholds or things like that if there's not enough resources available in-house, there are other alternatives that we can have work done because obviously, we're an emergency department, 24-7, and we have a need in getting our emergency facilities, apparatus inservic

i want those priorities but this is not the opportunity to do that. window and a limited run delay in order to develop that frame work and in order to fund all of these priorities that we have. >> what is your guess that this gets done by friday? >> we can get this done. this is a bipartisan deal and what we need to reinforce to the american public and our community and our colleagues is that nobody gets everything that they want in this deal, but this advances the ball. this holds back the president's ridiculous request for $5 billion. gives him less than a republican controlled senate gave him last year. >> they haven't even finished spending all of that money yet. just because you guys appropriate money, not to make the case that you're wasteful, which i could make, but we'll do that another night, they haven't even finish spending it yet because just because you get the money doesn't mean you can spend the money which is why there's that money sitting around that the president may tap into. if you worried that he doesn't shutdown the government bu

to seriously deliver on those priorities. through conversations, emails and townhall that drew over 100 diverse constituents, there are many priorities worth funding and any proposal should seek to reconcile that and offer balance for the diverse needs of our communities and city. adding this amendment will result in legislation that funds priorities of my constituents and many of your constituents. housing and homelessness, teacher salary, and early childhood education for at least two years through fiscal year 2022020 to 2021 using current ef funds. without this amendment educators will be left without community, our children and our future. loudly and clearly, i've heard from teachers and parents and students if the sunset and here at city hall. we need to ensure our teachers are paid fairly. a parent in my district wrote to me saying, at the end of the last school year almost all of the upper grade teachers left my son's school. only one veteran teacher remained while all the other teachers left for other school districts

barr if he would be sure to make sure that enforcement a top priority under his leadership. he said he would. i asked mr. barr if he would commit to working with me on my bill to improve fara, that bill before congress is called the disclosing foreign influence act . again he said yes. again mr. barr can expect i will hold him to his word. i also asked mr. barr about his position on antitrust enforcement, specifically whether he would ensure that the health and care -- health care and prescription drug issues would be a top priority for the justice department. the candidate -- or the nominee responded that, quote, competition is an important factor in containing the cost of health care and that he would work with the antitrust division to ensure a -- appropriate criminal and civil enforcement to protect americans interest in low-cost high-quality hair care -- health care. he stated if confirmed, and the health care and pharmaceutical sectors, will remain a priority for the justice department. candidate about my concerns about agriculture complication and he indicated that en

how to shape those next year priorities. i'm thinking of the trainer and some replacement and some of the space capabilities to the extent the air force has responsibility for space. how does it shape the strategy? one of the dilemmas the air force has is inherently it's operating a lot of what it does on support of the other services. it's going to be paced by the decision making of the other services and by the decisions they make on what their next generation concept of operations are. as to how it should be investing to support whatever that concept of operation is. the air force has its challenges, i think, and trying to align itself with the other services. the opposite end of the spectrum is the army. as mark referenced, the army has made clear it's in the process of cancelling a lot of its modernization programs or ending them and shifting in a new direction. it's doing this so it can align behind the six priorities the army came up with in the last two years as its answer to peer competition and how to get there. i

we are going into a conference, and you heard our priorities. i thought the senators were particularly effective in their desire to work closely with us. this is what this conference is all about. we are going to be evaluating all the facts. in addition, will be talking to as many experts as we feel necessary, then we will resolve the money. reporter: what is the cost of you have heard a lot of proposals here today. i cannot give you the totals right now. >> kim and take -- give-and-take, the physical barrier is nonnegotiable? we're going --t, i hope to be a very successful conference. we will discuss with democrats, republicans, the experts, what is most effective. at this point, i will not give an answer to that question. is there any money in your proposal for new or repaired physical barriers of any kind? >> i don't think i will answer that today. as you heard, this is wednesday. we have a short timeline. we will have a real intense negotiation period. we will bring in additional experts. unless my other colleagues have any response, i'm not

should be a top priority. that again from the pew research center, conflicting priorities that.s. is the headline of if you want the read it. twin falls, idaho, you are up next. >> high, yeah, my foreign-policy objective is to expose the fact that trump has gone back on his the traderning agreements that he said he would get us out of. nafta, all they did was rename it. and add to it. now he's trying to negotiate with china. i have been watching the economy and the effect of china for about a decade and a half now. china basically, with the help of our government and our policymakers has been bleeding our country of economic activity. what i would like to see is the complete deconstruction of the thatworld war ii world they came up with after world war ii, because it's not working and it's not ever going to work. all it's going to do is to lead to war. another world war, only this be here, itt just will be our country and the entire world. because these policies are coming from the united states with the multi

our priorities have remained the same and will. readiness number one, modernization number two, and reform number three. reform is the means by which we free up time, money, and manpower to do number one, number two better. i know you want to talk about readiness but i'll give you a quick metric in souch ground we've reclaimed when it comes to the readiness of our forces. so at the end of 2016 we had 18 brigade combat teams. our most common metric that were in the top tiers of readiness. today we have 28. that is a 5% increase in the short period of time -- 55% increase in the short period of time because of getting more money from congress, which was extremely helpful. a focus on training. getting back to high intensity conflict. and a number of other things we can discuss. on the modernization fronters as you know we stood up army futures command. biggest organization of the army in 45 years. just prior to that we had cross-functional teams working on our top 31 programs and other efforts. in order to make that real, in order to

and what are your priorities going forward. >> sure. first of all, thanks, again, kathleen for you and csis hosting this. i think it was successful last year and hopefully a third one as well. let's go back in baseline as well. about this time the national defense strategy came out and told us we are in era of great power competition and strategic competitors are russia and china. we should focus on high intensity conflict. a few short months after the army vision came out. what the army vision laid out was what should the future for the army look like in 2028 in terms of everything we do, man, organize, train, equip and lead the army. and really what that did was brought to the floor and jump started a renaissance in the united states army with regard to everything we do. our priorities have remained the same and will. readiness number within modernization number two. and reform number three. reform is the means by means which we free up manpower better. i know you want to talk about readiness but a metric in terms of how much ground w

more or less the same priorities one of the privacies is the security of israel the other priority is controlling the production cost over or oil pricing and the turd priority is the priorities of the american defense in the us three which trump is obviously you know privatizing all the time talking about lindsey graham it's significant surely it's a measure of how isolated your president is here that he turns his back on the cia deadline lindsey graham describes the crown prince as being beyond toxic point number one i want you to answer and point number two as well trump says the relationship is with the country it's not with individuals if that's the case why does his son in law his son in law who is the springboard towards we're told a new middle east peace policy his son in law has a wonderfully warm rich whatsapp relationship with the crown prince how does that work. well so on the first point look i mean i agree with that i like i said before i want to see whoever did this held accountable and we have to have a way that we can go after individual people but not affect our forei

these are lower priority marginalization programs. they are not pulling it out of overhead and infrastructure. the worst thing would be if dod put some sort of wedge into the future budget for savings to be identified in the future. those almost never are found. it creates turbulence and waste. the final thing, the observation that the president proposes for the congress disposes. this year will be rockier than most. you now have a democratic congress. the democrats have been moving to the left. they question certain programs that the administrations propose. in the background you have a budget control act. which the congress and the administration can't come to an agreement. >> i'm going to align myself on team cat here. i'm going with the argument from a monetization perspective i will focus my remarks. it's much more about the house than the how much. i say that because i think the last two years have demonstrated that you can significantly increase modernization funding without doing much to execute the strategy. when you look at

example on the issue of the sort of the domestic front as you highlighted immigration a key a top priority the president will make sort of try to characterize that this is not an issue of democrats or republicans but for americans. to be going if you're going to the house right now let's have a listen he's greasing members of congress as he makes his way to the stage. thank you can be president on his expected to address the doubts of contentious issues tonight but there is i believe also as. senate voted earlier about one of those issues. yeah you know we've been talking about how democrats are deeply opposed to the president's policies that they've spent the last two years largely as part of a resistance movement to anything that the president put forward but it's not just democrats just hours before the president is to make this speech in the u.s. senate which is controlled by republicans they passed legislation were buchanan the president's decision to withdraw troops from syria so this is certainly notable given the fact that that surprise announcement december nineteenth by the presi

. >> a priority? >> not to the exclusion of other priorities. reporter: can any of you point to specific thing you heard one today that you didn't know before that moves you toward a deal, either politically or substantially? >> i can say for me, we have heard that 90% of the drugs come through the ports of entry. the point was made today that because of the better detection of the points of entry for illegal drugs, they are picking up more and more drugs, more and more drugs coming in, not at the ports of entry, but on the uncontrolled areas of the border. to me, that is very troubling. they said the amounts that they picked up in the latest drug bust was a larger amount of of, which indicates in some sense, maybe the cartels and others are sensing that these unpatrolled areas are much more vulnerable. that is troubling for me coming from the state i represent. i picked up in the meeting today that i thought about before but never heard it, directly from the people, terrorists are coming across the border. not just people looking for a better w

. >> reporter: in his first state of the state address, governor gavin newsom wasted no priorities starting first with president trump and border security. >> the sport emergency is nothing more than a manufactured crisis , and california will not be part of this political theater. >> reporter: he quickly moved to high-speed rail, nothing he is scaling back the project to run between merced and bakersfield. the current plan, he says, would take too long and cost too much. >> now, i know, i know some critics are going to say that is a train to nowhere, but i think that is wrong, and i think that is offensive. >> the reality is no extensions to the bay area were ever going to happen before this spine was built. >> reporter: on water issues, newsom is downsizing the delta tunnels project from two tunnels to one, and is clean drinking water is a priority, he reiterated his commitment to addressing the housing and homelessness crisis. >> if we want to california for all, we have to build housing for all. we have so much work to do in this area, but these he's articulated how we've got a put on a

my administration is -- has made it a top priority to ensure that u.s. taxpayers, the dollars are ,pent effectively and wisely serve american interest and defend american values. david has been a strong advocate for accountability at the world bank for a long time. david was also critical of the creation of the world bank's women's entrepreneur, and they know, you know about the world bank's initiatives, he will make it a priority to continue empowering women all across the globe. it is very important and very important if it is properly handled. done by the world bank. i am certain there could be no better candidate to lead the world bank than david. we want to just think david. he has been with me for a long time. he has been a supporter for a long time. -- i ran, heran liked the job i did. he is a highly respected man, a brilliant man, and he will do very well. we will be very proud of him. i want to just introduce to the media, say a few words, david malpass. [applause] malpass: thank you so very much, president trump, for your confidence in selectin

that is well under way that's my priority for the year. there are a number of things we are doing to make sure we get at the people issue. end of the day the army is a people business and people are the most important and valuable asset. >> secretary experience. >> i go back to the three priorities. people, capabilities and process. people are our most valuable asset. and not surprisingly they are our most expensive asset. so we have to manage them appropriately. we just finished a study that the underled called education for sea power. in my whole business career i've always had mentors who said, richard, go after the root cause. don't prune the tree. look for the limb that needs to be removed. orp look to the limb to see why it's growing the way it's going. we really came back to education. in the navy enterprise. as to be one of the biggest levering that we can control. we are focusesing resources and assets from a professional education the, from deck plates up to flag officers, how we assign people after we educate them, why we educat

of shameema baygum ask the government to help bring her home — thejustice secretary says the main priorityas to be the safety of the public. a 27—year—old man appears in court, charged with the murders of 3 elderly men in exeter. thousands of criminals are to be monitored 2a hours a day — using gps tracking technology. the funeral of footballer, emiliano sala, who was killed when his plane crashed into the channel, is taking place in his native argentina. and coming up injust over half an hour — as this thumping header leads millwall to victory at afc wimbledon, sportsday has all of today's fa cup action good afternoon. thejustice secretary, david gauke, says the government's main priority has to be the safety of the public, when considering the case of shameema baygum. the family of the pregnant teenager, who left britain to join the islamic state group, say they'd welcome a police investigation into her actions, but want the government to help bring her home. sophie long reports. this is the al—hawl camp in northern syria where the 19—year—old from east london is living as she awaits the

to ensure that other priorities continue to be met, the fund will expire in june 2021 or earlier. if the funds purpose is served through other sources such as future eraf allocation. funds from the same amount will be returned to one-time reserve. upon the funds expiration, unused money will also be returned to one-time reserve. our amendment serves to strike a balance between competing priorities in a fair manner providing bridge funding for housing and homelessness, teacher salaries and early childhood educator salary for at least two years. because we are funding advances that would rare future board approval, the fund is just a viable as fiscally responsible way to one reserve work for the people. members of the budge and finance committee, i kindly request in you address my amendment so we can protect our educators and give them the stability that they deserve. thank you. >> thank you very much. i'm in support of your amendment. i'm happy to introduce them. in addition, we have some amendments to item number 5 and i would to call on the comptroller to read out the amendments.

priorities, it would leave some of those priorities without funding? or is there enough funding surplus right now available for the wall? >> any use of military construction funds for purpose b instead of purpose a would obviously come from one source to another, sir. >> thank you. i touch on this because i also have camp roberts in my district. i am informed there's an important road for really important training and facilities that exist on this base. and currently that road cannot be traversed. again, these funds that would go toward a wall would be taken away from being able to rehabilitate that road. so thank you very much. i yield my time back. >> thank you, mr. chairman, secretary rood, vice admiral gilday, thanks for joining us. i just wanted to ask one simple question, just yes or no. are the troops that are currently deployed along with our customs and border patrol agents, are they a help in helping the customs and border patrol agents achieve the counter narcotics mission they have been charged with? and the troops in their capabilities als

more or less the same priorities one of deprived trees is the security of israel the other priority is controlling the production cost or were or oil pricing and the turd priority is the priorities of the american defense in the us three which trump is obviously you know privatizing all the time talking about lindsey graham it's significant surely it's a measure of how isolated your president is here that he turns his back on the cia deadline lindsey graham describes the crown prince as being beyond toxic point number one i want you to answer and point number two as well trump says the relationship is with the country it's not with individuals if that's the case why does his son in law his son in law who is the springboard towards we're told a new middle east peace policy his son in law has a wonderfully warm rich whatsapp relationship with the crown prince how does that work well so on the first point look i mean i agree with that i like i said before i want to see whoever did this held accountable and we have to have a way that we can go after individual people but not affect our for

the third priority we are working on this budget is tax relief. thanks to our work on controlling spending over the past few years, we have been able to build new tax relief into this budget. property tax relief is the number one priority nebraskans want as i travel the state. and many of you have shared similar stories with me from your districts. i have three property tax relief proposals. first. my budget provides $51 million in new direct property tax relief to the property tax credit relief fund each year. this is a 23 % increase in property tax relief from this fund to all nebraska property owners. second. there lindstrom and i are recommending that we establish a statutory floor of $275 million i'm sorry, $500 million for the property tax relief fund. this will give taxpayers more certainty about future tax relief. and third, sarah linehan and i are proposing to establish a 3 % cap on property taxes levied by local governments. over the past decade, local property taxes have risen over 57 %. to deliver long-term structural relief, it is imp

what is the priority for you in your message to congress. prove for us in your posture statement, what do you most need congress to help you with? is it your authorities or new ythorities, or the consistency of the budget? >> sec. wilson: i think with respect to the congress i think we've benefited over the last two years explaining to the congress what is the threat and the emerging threat. what is america going to be facing, and there is a consensus i think bipartisan in the congress of the need to provide for the nation's defense. that top-line growth has made a tremendous difference and the certainty of timing has made a difference. we had a budget on time, i looked at our first quarter results in the air force. we executed a quarter of our budget in the first quarter of the year. we were able to do new starts of programs and cut contracts and our flying hours in the first quarter was slightly above 100% of plan. that is tremendously important to continue to train the force to be able to use that first quarter and in some case, two quart

is she said we all said what your priorities supervisor breed at the time she said my number one priority is housing. he said what your second priority housing. what your third priority housing and after the third time we all like we get it. housing is your priority and soon after that we were out knocking on doors in housing. we came over to west side courts. you know it's the second oldest housing in the city. we walked to we talked we talked to residents about their situation here what they were thinking how that they you know how do they feel about living here. lot of everybody was grateful but also we realized this needs work this complex needed work and needed rehab and when then mayor. ed lee came in. he talked about rad and one of the things that i was really passionate and so was mayor breed is if we're going to rehab and we're going to completely change and make it better that when we build housing a rehab housing. there is no displacement and that was something that really we felt strong about no displacement when you're building housing or rehabbing housing because as we know

the third priority is to address these advanced threads. there icons which, the hypersonic threat -- the bottom right side of the chart, which depict that advanced threat, we are giving and i am all three of these areas of concern and addressing them in our budget and capabilities. as far as the missile defense trachtenberg covered it is an integrated approach in active and passive defense. if the turn fails, attack operations to our regional infrastructure. it brings focus to what we are doing within the agency and reinforces that effort. it provides guidance and secret position of effort and helps the department focus its energies on meeting policy laid out in the mbr. the last bullet addresses the fact that what we're doing with any agency is in line with the review that results in tasking. i will skip that for a second. here are examples -- if you take the priorities of the bins that we got. the three priorities and you take a look at the activities in the agency and the system is, we have on contract and we are sustaining and not devel

you saw it in a harvard poll recently about priorities in the 2018 election. so i think what you are saying is, in this moment of time of great polarization and divisiveness that is emanating that thereite house, is a lot of people in america that are going back to basics and thinking public education is foundational to our democracy. it is also foundational for pluralism and diversity and kids being able to mediate issues with each other, play well with each other, learn the skills they need to learn, and people are coming back home to public knowing, and teachers are a big part of this, what we need to strengthen our schools. the 2020g ahead to election, you talk about resources the american federation of teachers might ring to this election cycle. i believe it was about $12 million spent on candidates and thetical groups by aft in 2018 election. do you plan more than that in 2020? we arengarten: john, always very candid about what we spend and always do the big reveal as soon as we know what it is. we will spend what our members want us to spend on election

this is a top priority for me. i really always placed a lot of importance on the need for the ability for our members, whether it's through our peer support unit or other employee assistance programs to get the help that they need. i want to convey this is important. i want to also be very candid and straight up that probably, if i have 10 things i'm looking at right now and i shared this earlier with the president, i did bring this up to him. as chief nickolson said, as you know, the command staff works very diligently. they work long hours. i expect a lot of them and every time i ask they rise to the occasion. every single one of them that sits in the front row. if it were not for family issues, two of the other command staff members that are usually here are not and i let them go. what i'm saying is this is important. right now in this moment, as you are chief of department, for the top 10 things that i'm looking at is priorities it's in the top 10. candidly it's probably nine or 10. there are other things that

we must establish some very clear priorities. and we must make a very substantial cut in the federal budget deficit. [applause] pres. bush: some people find that agenda impossible, but i'm presenting to you tonight a realistic plan for tackling it. my plan has four broad features: attention to urgent priorities, investment in the future, an attack on the deficit, and no new taxes. [applause] pres. bush: this budget represents my best judgment of how we can address our priorities. there are many areas in which we would all like to spend more than i propose; i understand that. but we cannot until we get our fiscal house in order. next year alone, thanks to economic growth, without any change in the law, the federal government will take in over $80 billion more than it does this year. that's right -- over $80 billion in new revenues, with no increases in taxes. and our job is to allocate those new resources wisely. we can afford to increase spending by a modest amount, but enough to invest in key priorities and still cut the deficit

there is a lot of really worthy priorities, but everything is a worthy priority to somebody, and i am here urging you all to support the proposals that are allocating the most money to the department of homelessness and supportive housing, and the department of the mayor touch office of housing and community development. i will tell a simple story. i live out on the end of the richmond, and a neighbor of mine , her name was sarah, she had been living at the bus shelter. she had been sitting in a wheelchair, living in the bus shelter for months, if not years i don't know how long she had been living there. she needed help and care. our services in the city are backlogged. shelters are backlogged. the waiting list to get into the below market rate affordable housing is backlogged. we are not building enough of it everywhere in every district, luckily, sara was able to, with the health just help of my neighbors, get placed in an s.r.o. unit, and get help back and get off the street and get housed. that is what we want to see happen. there too many people suffering on our streets. is our

the hope is to raise it to a state priority as well. doing something to improve the roadway, to make it safer and overall make the road better for 210, just in every single way possible. this, of course, a is clear concern for people who live off the road, fors drivers a well as county eorges leadership. on tuesday, we saw the council back the cnty executive's call for the state to help fund improvements here, to make the road more efficient, but of course safe as well. the goal here is to avoid tragedy as we saw back in december those three children who were killed after an alleged drunk driver crashed into the vehicle that they were in. the county council saying, look, it is time to do something, pointing out that 210 has already jumpedahd of their transportation priority ist. >>s a graduated project, and the question that we're trying to figure out is how can we speed up both the major construction work that's involved in this and then also some of the ancillary things that can help to improvear thin nd the corridor. >> reporter: and
