how about having that voice in realtime? and being able to press reset in realtime.se are the things in this book that you can do. it doesn't fix anything about the other side. and where they need to improve. and i think in the age of me too, men are facing a reckoning where they realize behavior that happened ten, 20, 30 years ago it doesn't fly today. it's because we have voices. so let's use them. >> and we've got your back, ladies. mika, thank you so, so much. i appreciate it. go out there and get this book. you need it. >>> coming up, six weeks away from the midterms between the kavanaugh confirmation, the russia investigation, the economy. what matters in the voting booth? deep in the heart of texas to hear what swing voters there really care about. there is a chance that's the last time. 300 miles per hour, that's where i feel normal. i might be crazy but i'm not stupid. having an annuity tells me retirement is protected. annuities can provide protected income for life. learn more at retireyourrisk.org you might or joints.hingotected infor your heart... but do

so we're going to be replacing our realtime information system next as next muni. in 1999, san francisco piloted the first realtime information system in the united states. since then, there's been many changes in technology and transportation. for the first time in more than 15 years, we have an opportunity to do a refresh on that system. we conducted a lot of public outreach to understand what our customers wanted to see in the new system. here is an explanation. we did quantitative survey and we got very solid response there that gives us good confidence in the statistical reliability. we also did a qualatative survey. people that may not have responded in greatest numbers to the quantitative survey. we focused 0en people with disabilities, senior citizens, young people and the like. so now we're going to go over some of the findings. we asked people why they didn't take muni with the opportunity to. you can see the top reason related to servais. we were looking at ways that the new system to mitigate some concerns. in the third one here, muni did not arrive whe

higher rupoidity, realtime access of both of these data sets is changing the way we do our operations and the way that the users ingest our data on a regular basis. so that's what we have in the pipeline, and this is going to take us a generation to figure out how to use these data sets in combination with the others we've seen up there. i think the expansive capability is not just in the satellites, but in our shared use and application of those data sets going forward. but those who build satellites know it takes a generation to build and design a new one, and that's what we're in the process of doing. those satellites were designed in the '90s to the 2000s, and they're flying now. now we have to do the benchmark for the 2030, to 2050 time, and that's what we're embarked on, what are the next steps incocts? this is not what's driven by what we can do, as much as what we are able to and what we can benefit from. so an operational agency like noax a we are looking to the users to see what was the best improvement. more resolution is not useful it's not valued as an observing system, s

so that is the response of a president who is really responding in realtime almost, chuck. i mean the article just came out a short time ago. so i don't think they have a communication strategy at this point. moving forward will they get one by tomorrow? again, my bet is on the fact that we're going to see more tweets. but this, again, i think fuels what has been a discord and a chaos here in the white house and raising questions about whether we're going to see more high-level departures here. >> kristen welker, thank you. >>> joining me on the phone is mark lotter. he works on the political side on the offsite of the white house. he is a former special assistant in the trump administration, in the trump white house. mark, thank you for doing this. you're joining us on the phone, i appreciate it, last minute. let me ask you straightforward, what's your initial reaction to this? this is perhaps a colleague of yours? perhaps somebody that shared the same title as you, not some midlevel staffer. what's just your gut reaction? >> thanks for having me, chuck. i, like many peopl

jump has provided data to us but in terms of setting up a standardized way with realtime data is provided to us by jump or other companies, that is something that we are working on with innovation teams to make sure we do have realtime data flowing to us from all the companies so we can have evaluations that directly compare to bikes and scooters. that is my presentation. i'm happy to take questions. >> chairman brinkman: thank you, very much. i do want to do public comment before we dive in. >> chairman brinkman: we have one speaker. >> hello. i'm speaking on behalf of patrick who cannot be here. he had to take off. i had to leave to get back to work, patrick says. the item was discussed but here is what i was planning to stay at the meeting today. i would like to share two things with the board. first, russell franklin was killed by riding a bike on howard and van ness in a crosswalk. one of the more than 25 -- 250,000 on street parking spaces that sfmta allows. within three hours, there were multiple requests filed and e-mails to remove two parking spaces, and yet sfmta has not made an

yearbook is in realtime. >> it's an indelible snapshot.have very little to do with the man he is. he's standing by his wife and the allegations and even probably some evidence in the yearbook does not seem to be reflective of the man she knows, how he has lived his life professionally and part of the question we are going to have to confront as a country in these hearings as they go forward is how much do you weight someone's adolescent id i don't sayity and potential beyond that. >> we are not just -- >> go ahead. >> it's not just weighting his adolescent, you know, indiscretions or allegations of sexual assault because we're weighing his honesty now. this is somebody who is being elevated to the supreme court potentially and so it's not really about what he did then, it's about what he's saying now. is he being honest with the american people? >> and, again, i'm just not so sure what he is accused of and he has denied is such a high bar that it is difficult to consider it when you're talk being a lifetime appointment to the supreme court

you know, we're doing this because we believe that 5g is going to make this connected near realtime world -- not just a possibility, but it's going bring it into the forefront and also blur the difference between fixed and wireless connectivity. you know, and 5g is going to offer latency that equates to the speed. latency from the time you hit the enter key to the time you get a response. we're talking about latency now that is close to the time it takes the brain to interpret a visual image. we've seen latency and 5g networks and real world in a staggering 9-19-12 millisecond. we're launching these in parts of a dozen cities by the end of this year. we're at the early phase of this new breakthrough. we're standing at this doorstep about launching the next-generation capabilities that will change generations to come and capabilities. so it's going to be about much more than tapping into just the smartphone if your pocket. it's abo -- smartphone in your . it's about where we take it next. we look at enhanced connectivity as a way to bring people together and create new experience, think of

so being able to spent some realtime with him and realtime within the company i think it did a lot for terms of understanding how companies scale. being there to see the company go from startup to big, privately held company, to public company but also just for me, i was excited about some of the more entrepreneurial opportunities that are -- that white space that sort of exists now. emily: what do you think is going to happen in terms of how the pile will be diveyed up, whether it's spotify or apple music or youtube, will the pie keep getting big her is one going to rise to the top and dominate? >> i think daniel has been clear. it's not going to be a winner take all market. and just how the market is shaped. and a lot of it has to do with the different constituencies of consumers. you know. so you have consumers who are never going to pay for muse ex, never going to pay for music, whether they don't believe in paying for music or -- and more of the point is a lot of consumers can't afford to pay for music. so they're going to consume it a certain type of way. radio has always been an

our company pushes cyberthreats in realtime. we try to provide contacts within 24 to 48 hours. information groups share information with peers because one threat to one and usually a threat to all. the u.s. government also shares its threat of information, although it's generally classified and only available to clear vendors. there is room for improvement at the speed of dissemination of vendors and the timing of the industry and the u.s. government must improve, so it's not just the government that has work to do. the second thing to know about cyberespionage, though, because it has retained one effort should not be focused on. sometimes it's justified, oftentimes it's not, and the public should not be needlessly alarmed or lose their confidence in what is generally a very safe industry because of individual cyberespionage incidents. every major cyberpower in the united states has the right to know about potential threats, and the u.s. aviation sector isn't the only one being targeted in this way. so while espionage on its own does not pose an urgent threat to life, i am conc

we have to stay engaged to give people information they can get in realtime. thank you. >> next speaker please. >> herbert winier. >> i understand rightder ship is down in greater numbers. i wonder in san francisco is it down in absolute numbers as well? now, this is important because if ridership is down, there is less revenue, and i believe the reason for the proposed fare increases because of the lack of revenue. now, okay, we are getting more bus us. that is a good thing. i am wondering if those buses shouldn't cover is routes that have been altered or deleted such as the line that used to run to 33rd avenue and restore the 26th valencia which was important to connect downtown with the neighborhood triangle area. now, it is good you are hiring more full-time drivers because what is happens is that when drivers are part-time they do not get health benefits and pension benefits. i believe that was the source of, you know, having part-time drivers. you were safing on pension and health benefits, correct me if i'm wrong. these are the comments i have. muni wan

our company pushes alerts to customers in realtime, when the technical alerts are in realtime. we try to provide context within to 48 hours. industry groups share information between peers, because a threat to one is usually a threat to all. the u.s. government also shares its threat information, although classified and only available to cleared vendors. there is room for improvement at of dissemination of intelligence, mostly from agencies like d.h.s., who then share it. most importantly, the timeliness thenformation between private sector and the u.s. government must improve, so it's hasjust the government that work to do. the second thing to know about cyber espionage is that because routine, any one individual activity should not destabilizing to the whole nation. media reporting on cyber incidents is naturally going to the worst case scenario of what could happen. sometimes that's justified. oftentimes it's not. the public should not be alarmed or lose their confidence in what is generally a very safe industry, because of espionage cyber incidents. every major cyber power,

. >> matt miller, i know this is all happening in realtime and we're reacting in realtime, but how does this change the message that democrats take to the electorate for the midterms. we now have a whistleblower at the highest levels of the trump administration that says donald trump's cabinet has had conversations about invoking the 25th amendment. if you want to know who they are and if you want to know why they're so concerned about his mental stability, you can't trust the republicans to get to the bottom of it. does this become part of the message that democrats take to the country? >> it does. i think the democrats are running against two things. one, they are running against the fitness and ineptitude -- unfitness, i should say, coming from this white house on a day-to-day basis. one of the things that's shocking about this piece is that somebody wrote it. one of the things that's not shocking is anything in it. it's what people see all the time. the same as with the woodward book. there's nothing that was that surprising. there are details that we learned but we see that all the

the remarkable thing about yesterday is this is a realtime historical trove. a matter of interest, it's a cause for action. >> and, you know, mika, what is the most -- well, i mean, it's just not a secret. i mean, this is -- i think what is most telling about the woodward book, what is most telling about this op ed is that we have not only been saying this since he's been president of the united states. we said, to much consternation, that kellyanne conway would come on this show throughout donald trump's campaign, attack him, say my god, i can't wait for this campaign to be over, and, you know, sean spicer would -- and, of course, they'll all deny it, but sean spiecer was saying the guy was going to lose. their only goal was to make sure he wouldn't lose by eight or nine. and by the way, i just called out those two names. it was everybody up and down the line on the campaign and everybody up and down the line in the white house. and when they deny it, they just prove themselves to be total liars. >> i can see how in some ways it's almost like, for us, and esp
