a lot of critics of the students richard richard so i just disagree with notice that a lot of this historic photo on for what's been called a handshake for peace. and harmony for germany as the women's soccer team is knocked out of the world comforter finals the 2 time winners take the lead spot their dreams are dashed as sweden hits back to prevail 21. i married to evanston welcome to the program. if being called a historic event u.s. president donald trump has met with north korean dictator kim jong il in the demilitarized zone between north and south korea where both leaders shared a symbolic handshake trump is the 1st sitting u.s. president to enter north korea he described today's events as without precedent. this is never happened before. an american president stepping foot in north korea crossing the line that has divided the peninsula nearly 70 years. trump said he didn't know until the last moment if the meeting would take place. this handshake is all it was supposed to be when trump made his surprise offer on twitter on saturday. to talk about it then that was more. kim said he ho

richards. >> commissioner richards: can you finish the presentation? when i looked at the building it looks like the holiday inn on kearney street. it became more interesting. could you give three minutes more to walk through the rest of the presentation. >> i am not sure how to get it on your screen. >> it will come up in a minute. >> this is where we left off. these are the alleyways leading into the central square, the alleyway from town send and fourth street. this is a view across from the caltrain station and when we started to look at the skin of the building, we wanted to not do a glass building, a building residential but things that fit into the skyline of san francisco which is different from a lot of other cities because it has more heavy looking building with punch windows. it is a precast stone or metal. we wanted to refer back to the warehouse district of central soma with a clear distinction of the structure and big window openings and masonry and stone work and some of the other materials we find so it really feels like an extension of the district and the sky. we want to work with depth so the line is back from the out of the face of the opaque material. we want to work with the hue and the color. it feels like four buildings into two main volumes. there is a lot of open space on the ground and private terraces on the lower apartments. some of the shared amenity spaces on the top of the lower towers. the ground floor space ties to the other open spaces in the district, both the alleyways and the parks. we have in here the walk through that the plan department has done the neighborhood walk which will pass right by our site. you will see how there is lane ways that the project can tie into. the open space is not just urban oasis in the middle but constitutes the alleyways, gateways, there is a park facing fourth street and there is where we want to make sort of diverse face that can take a lot of different activities from the local pop ups, music festivals, retail spilling out to have local art fairs and art will be a big part of the project where we have both open spaces that can take sculptures but also have wall spaces and s frescoes. one of the entries into the project, the sort of community park that is right on to fourth street and the tram stop. this will be planned in a way that is flexible. it can have activities and markets and so on, and when you pass that square, you get into the gateway and into the main space in the middle where all of the residents will come through to get to the lobbies. retail can spill out. we plan to design, also, the storefronts to have a lot of variety and be quite operable so the distinction of the public interior and exterior is blended more as you walk through the space. this is the alleyway from townsend at the corner leading to the main square. this is the extent of our explanation of the project today. >> thank you very much for finishing. quick question for the director on the short term rental. it is years ago since we heard this. the ordinance may have been amended. if they were to rent as short term rentals is this for sale or rent be? >> this is for rent. i will say this project is totally independent of the small investment that was made corporately that ms. hester referred to. our intent in san francisco is to abide to the letter and spirit of the law, and we would expect this to run as a normal rental project with the exception of the 38 hotel rooms which are explicitly called out. >> if i could clarify. this is subject to the same rules as any other building. the only person who can register for short term rentals is the permanent resident of the unit. >> thank you. it is a great project. >> next item. >> just for the benefit of the public in case anyone is here for item 15 at 225 vazquez or item 18 those are continued. 2019-18,609th avenue conditional use authorization. >> just a second, sir. >> good afternoon. jeff warn planning department staff. presenting conditional use authority 1862 ninth avenue. this is a request for conditional use for the tantamount to demolition of a two-story home to commit 7,000 gross four-foot stamly dwelling within the residential house two family district. the project site is located east site of ninth avenue within the inner sunset neighborhood. within the immediate area there is residential two to three story single and two family dwellings. there is a great variety of styles. the subject lot is half lot wider than the typical lot 37.5 feet and lot depth of 120 feet for total of 4500 square feet. site slopes down towards the rear developed with a vacant 222 gross square foot two family dwelling. it has a site set back of 3-foot 8-inch on the north. the proposal is the demolition of the two family dwelling and conduct a horizontal and vertical condition to conduct a three family dwelling with a dwelling unit. 1072 two bedroom unit on the first store. 1150 bedroom unit on the second floor. the proposed structure enlarges 90 square foot -- 950 square foot. known common access to the rear. two bedroom units and the second of 1835 square feet. a 948 square foot two bedroom unit on the fourth floor. fourth floor provides 15-foot set back at the front and 10 back at the rear wall. height at the front is 30. total height 40 feet. 62 feet depth with 12 feet poppit on the first floor. it retains north side wall set back 3 feet 8 inches. this was continued from the march 21st planning commission hearing without being heard. during that period the product sponsor noticed a three building unit. the project has been replaced to replaced storage with accessory dwelling at ground floor. it proposed to remove vertical and horizontal elements. therefore, the project is requesting conditional use authorization from the commission pursuant to 317 to allow demo listing of residential unit. because of the age and the multi family nature it is assumed rent controlled. by not fully demolishing the rent control should remain. it is in rh-2 zoning. two units per lot and permits one for every 1500 square feet of lot area. because of the subject lot is 4500 square feet it is requesting conditional use authorization to allow three units on the 4500 square foot lot. it proposed a dwelling unit at ground floor per a.d.u. waiver under 207 c 4. it will require administrative swear waiver. i have received five comment letters with concern on the height of the project and impact to light and air. it was presented to sunset heights association of responsible people, a neighborhood group on march 19th before the initial hearing. since the notice of this hearing additional letter was received from janette fewer supplementing the original comments which i am putting in the record. staff recommends approval and replacing the building will pro correct a structure combat i believe with the design of the existing block space. this concludes staff presentation. >> is there a project sponsor? >> i am the project sponsor. this is more detail. when we first presented it, it was a two unit building because that was what we were thinking we were allowed. planning staff advised that we could request conditional use to increase density to three. i presented that to ownership and they were fine with that. towards the very end we were advised we can add a.d.u. at this point because of new codes and regulations. i presented that to ownership, and they were perfectly fine with that. ownership will reside in one united and other three for rental. if you have any other questions or concerns, let me know and i can answer any questions you might have about the project. >> thank you very much. we will take public comment on the project. i don't have speaker cards. if you want to comment, please do so now. public comment is closed. >> i am glad reconsidered to adding units. the only question is for the commission to look at drawing 2.2 and look at the obscured entry to the a.d.u. the a.d.u. is only accessible by way of going through an entry court, going bicycles bicycle spaces, washer, and secondary entrance to the trade corridor between this property and the next one and entering some obscure nondesignated space. we like a.d.u.s to be seen from the street side. i am wondering if there is any way to modify that. we do not like the indirect nature of the a.d.u. having nonrecognizable entrance with respect to the rest of the building. >> thank you, commissioner. commissioner fong. >> question for staff. four story buildings in the inner sunset and in the richmond usually generate some discussion. was any effort made to show the context around this area in terms of four story buildings? >> the context of the existing mapping of the block face was definitely a consideration when the design team reviewed the project. one of our commonly used approaches to make the building if it is taller to be more compatible with the existing structures in the neighborhood to provide set backs on the fourth floor or upper floor. this project provides 15-foot set back. anyone close to the project it reads more as three story. at further distance you will see the fourth floor. the building to the right, that would be the south of this project is a larger building, one of the larger ones on the block face and provides transition to add that corner as it gets taller, those buildings. there was consideration. the residential design but the team found the building compatible with the neighborhood. >> commissioner richards. >> commissioner richards: quest. i see what you see on a2.2 and the strangeness of the entryway. it looks like illegal unit. how it is buried in the back. how do you recommend it is reconfigured so it reads as a unit and not have this way to get into it. >> i am asking staff whether or not they brought that question to the applicant. there is a designing architect engineer here. this should be flagged by staff in the discussion in reviewing the project. that is a question we raise again and again. in addition to that given the height of the building we need to look for a fire stair, the fire department will require roof access. we could see where that is located. it will make an effect on the appearance of the building as we see it. mr. warren do you have any comment on the entry situation there? >> i agree there could have been more consideration to the entry of the building. this is a new change to us. our intent was to get this a.d.u. in the structure. i think the sponsor is avail

richards: okay. how about, then -- i appreciate that. how about september -- >> 12 would be the date. >> commissioner richards: sept 19? >> commissioner hillis: why not -- why not in july? >> commissioner richards: because the san carlos one, it's already been heard twice. you don't have to vote for my resolution. you don't have to second it. >> second. >> clerk: very good, commissioners. there is a motion that has been seconded as proposed, item 2 to july 25, item 3 to august 27, and item 13 to sept 25. [roll call] >> clerk: your discretionary review item, number 17, has been continued to august 29. commissioners, that'll place us under your consent matter. all matters here in are considered to be routine by the commission and will be voted on by a single vote of the commission. it [agenda item read] [agenda item read]. >> clerk: i have no speaker cards. >> are there any members of the public that would like to comment on the consent calendar? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: move to approve. >> commissioner hillis: second. >> clerk: thank you, commissioners. on that motion to approve items 4 and 5-a under your consent calendar -- [roll ca

carter but at the same time you know trump is somewhere in between richard nixon and lyndon johnson and where as far as being is crazed as richard nixon and maybe not as racist as nixon was but certainly as crazed as lyndon johnson was about going to war he was a war mongering maniac and i don't think that he was anti-war individual he's been extremely supportive of the military i mean obviously in this conversation i feel like i'm the only meat and in a sandwich of stale hero sandwich with moldy cheese i got moldy cheese on the left and i got a stale hero sandwich on the right here these guys are so supportive of their their corrupt parties it's a that it's actually unbelievable to me that more people are coming to the realization that their government has been co-opted and that their parties are absolutely to the nth degree not leading them in a direction that's going to improve this country ok well that's some big statements and gentlemen with run out of time fascinating discussion many thanks to my guest in st petersburg and in washington and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t.c. next time and remember crossta

trump grabbed some of those people, too. >> carley: of course. >> richard: lisa has a point -- >> lisa: thank you, richard! >> richardthe stumbling block will be this native american peace. she shown her ability to move on and that'll be important for her, but another thing important about this slippage and bernie's numbers is an affront to this republican talking point of democrats being socialists. the only real socialist and this raises bernie sanders, the proclaimed socialist, and democrats are rejecting that overwhelmingly. >> harris: why does he keep saying that? as a selling point? >> richard: the democratic party doesn't want it which is why his numbers are slipping. >> melissa: elizabeth warren has essentially stopped raising money and she is spending a ton of money out there so it'll be interesting to see if she can raise money virtue of surging or if that ends up being a huge mistake that she has laid off that. we will see. all right, any response from the players after critics slammed the u.s. women's soccer team for celebrating too much in their first world cup win. now they are sending a message to thei

seeing none -- >> richard. >> richard, come on up. [laughter] >> good morning, commissioners.anted to try and update some of you on this issue. we asked the board of supervisors and i did initial outreach to the people involved in the board of supervisors. they informed me that should park and recreations require additional surveillance cameras, they would be available. i spoke at the rules committee mostly about whether there was graffiti and that type of problem. i was thinking more of nighttime activity where there would be surveillance of all the parks and recreation facilities, and that way the city can look after the town and they can look after their own properties. i didn't yet to get into parks like in play areas where it is kind of interesting, where there would be surveillance, but i believe that is more departmental, and that would be the general manager and his executive staff. they probably would be coming back to you with different ideas one of them has to do with ceqa, and it is sorting and triaging of what is available. i have also known that there is always t

richard. >> what will happen there? hans stand by. i'll bring in chief foreign correspondent richard engle who is live from the dmz in korea where they are headed right now. richardwhat did you make of the conversation? there's that question that was certainly asked by our fellow colleague there at bloomberg, what can happen in two minutes with a handshake with kim jong-un? >> reporter: if it really only lasts two minutes, i think we're going to see quite a bit of diplomatic theater, a lot of symbolism in the next couple of hours. president trump is going to be leaving the press conference area, take the helicopter up to the dmz, the demilitarized zone. it's an area that was established at the end of the korean war. technically the korean war never really ended. and this dmz was a way to get the two sides to stop fighting. to create a buffer zone between the two countries. it's about 150 miles long. it runs the length of the north and south korean borders, straddles both sides of it. and then right through the middle of this, it's 150 miles long, two and a half miles wide right through the middle of the line of demarcation and there is actually a concrete line on

richard. >> richard: the career prosecutors that signed that letter that said if it was on their watch, that donald trump was reported to have done in the mueller report would result of him being indicted. whether convicted or not is another question but look, there are people who are living in a dream world that donald trump has done nothing wrong demonstrably. if you read the mueller report and i encourage everybody still to do that. >> shannon: it's not fair. >> richard: please do it and you will see the list of things, the elements each crime of obstruction that he's met. whether or not that could have been proven or not, that is what mueller said to congress. this is on you. now barr -- >> katie: he can't put together a case to win against someone. >> richard: he disagreed, shannon and said under the circumstances it wouldn't be fair, fundamentally unfair to a president to basically say my think he should be charge, but i know because the department of justice he won't be. so that is hanging over him and i think mueller, frankly thank his lucky stars he has mueller as the prosecutor. >> katie: it is very fair -- unfair and dishonest to say that the lead prosecutor, the special counsel whose job it was to go look for crimes for two years and they did. 500 subpoenas, thousands of millions of documents from the white house and came back and could not name a single prosecutor -- prosecuting crime and the mueller report. so again, to continue with this

richard. >> richard, come on up. [laughter] >> good morning, commissioners. i wanted to try and update some of you on this issue. we asked the board of supervisors and i did initial outreach to the people involved in the board of supervisors. they informed me that should park and recreations require additional surveillance cameras, they would be available. i spoke at the rules committee mostly about whether there was graffiti and that type of problem. i was thinking more of nighttime activity where there would be surveillance of all the parks and recreation facilities, and that way the city can look after the town and they can look after their own properties. i didn't yet to get into parks like in play areas where it is kind of interesting, where there would be surveillance, but i believe that is more departmental, and that would be the general manager and his executive staff. they probably would be coming back to you with different ideas one of them has to do with ceqa, and it is sorting and triaging of what is available. i have also known that there is always the privacy issue. i am just touching basis. i think it is an important issue i have already spoken with aaron peskin, and should there be the necessity of additional cameras, there would be. thank you. >> thank you. we have time for one more. come on up. this is the last one under this item. >> hello. my name is susan. about 20 years ago, my husband and i were able to purchase a home in dogpatch. at that time, it was a low-key overlooked neighborhood. things have changed. one of the things that was so special about that neighborhood was that it was a community and we would go to the park, park, hang out with our neighbors, and meet each other and find out what's going on and build that community even more. talking and meeting with people who you would never expect to meet with. hell his angels, gang members -- lots of people are coming to the park. if the renovation progresses in a manner where the type of surface is an artificial turf as opposed to natural turf, it is going to hinder people from going to the park and using it as a community, or building that community. as a senior in this city, it is getting harder and harder for me to get around and navigate the city. i am using my neighborhood more and more. i need that park, and other people like myself need that park, something local where we can communicate and hang out, and i just ask you to think about the citizens, the taxpayers who are in the city, who need a natural environment that they can go to and continue to build a community. thank you. >> thank you. >> margaret, before you conclude that, did you want to make some comments on the jackson park? >> i wanted to make a comment and ask a question maybe for clarity's sake, so one, i spend a lot of time in the dogpatch and bayview area, and it is amazing how much it has exploded it is actually quite affirming to see all the people who have moved to the area. everybody in the room -- how priorities for the 2020 bond were made, and when can we expect some sort of action on jackson park? >> usually we don't get into those things during public comment, so what i will ask is that the general manager if they would respond to the commissioner after the meeting, and if you want to have anything reported out at the next meeting , i would be happy to entertain that. >> i would love to have something reported out at the next meeting. >> thank you. >> okay. we are at time now for item number 4. we are closing item number 4 and going to item number 5 which is the consent calendar. i have two cards. tom borden. you have -- i need you to come up if you want to speak on item five. those are under item five. >> okay. >> sorry, i was confused. i just want to say regarding the trail and restroom project, i would hate to see you guys approve that plan without knowing what trail is going to be closed, and i will bet you have no idea that the plan is focusing on the asphalt path along the outside and there are a lot of trails. there is the peer down there that no one hardly goes to because the trail isn't maintained. there's a lot of little treasures. and i ventured they will all be closed off under this plan, or it is in the making in this plan it be nice to know what will be closed. it doesn't show up in the plan. i just wanted to say, i support the restroom in mclaren park. it will be great. thank you. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else would like to make public comment under the consent calendar? okay. this item is closed. we do need a motion. >> so moved. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor? >> aye. >> i wanted to ask if we can pull these items out. >> i apologize. okay, let's back up. go ahead. >> item c. and item e. >> c. and e., those were the ones that mr. borden just spoke on and they have been taken off of consent, and we will need to have a staff presentation on those. commissioners, without -- we need a motion to approve the consent calendar without item five c. and five e. >> so moved. >> seconded. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor? >> now we are going to go to item five c., the lake merced trail and restroom project. >> why do we need a staff presentation? >> we don't have to, but when we pull it off -- >> let's start with a question from the commissioner. >> the question i had, why did we decide to do a prefabricated restroom? >> the restroom is part of a citywide program and one was removed from st. mary's under the replacement of those. there is a new design that is being approved right now through that program, which is managed by public works, freeing up that one from st. mary's allowed the department to place that restroom at a new park, and problems with the existing portable chemical toilet at lake merced is a major 31 issue for that park, and so the decision was to place the restroom at lake merced, which is considerable savings to the department because they own and pay for that restroom. the project is only responsible for providing utility service to it. >> right. wait, i am confused. are you moving one restroom? >> it would be bring new one. -- it would be a brand-new one. >> the choice of new know she -- no restroom, it is part of a citywide contract. this wasn't an independent decision to bring in a modular restroom in this case. and right now we've got a leaking port a party and that is our only option. >> that is all we can do. >> why is that? why can't you build your own restroom? >> because the restroom is $2 million that we don't have budgeted, that the voters did not approve as part of the bond project. >> i also looked under item c. i did not see a subcontractor list for who would be hooking up utilities. maybe i missed it. could you possibly get that to us? >> sure. this is just the concept. >> we have it up-to-date. >> no. okay. that's all the questions i have. i will have to vote against item c. i just don't believe that a prefabricated anything is the way to go. it is not by the same code as the rest of the building in san francisco, local hire doesn't apply, somebody else is doing it somewhere else for way less, $10 an hour maybe. can we move onto item e.? >> before we do that -- >> you need a motion and a second and then a vote. >> okay. >> the chair would entertain a motion on item c. >> so moved. >> it has been moved. is there a second? >> second. >> moved and seconded. all those in favor? >> aye. >> a no recorded by commissioner mozilla. >> okay. >> item e. >> i just have a question because i don't see a sublists under that one. i was just wondering if that has gone out to bid yet. >> it has not gone out to bid yet. >> it hasn't? >> no. >> will be know that before we approve it? >> this is the concept design approval for the restrooms, and when the project goes out to bid , in order to award the contract, we would be coming to the commission if the total value is over 600,000, and there can be a subcontractor listing as part of the document submitted to the commission. >> great. thanks. i am good. >> can we have a motion on item e.? >> so moved. >> moved and seconded. >> all those in favor? >> thank you. >> we are now on item six, the san francisco zoo. >> i might say before they start , that this item was heard by the zoo committee and unanimously approved by them until this morning, and just in recommending it to this commission -- the budget. >> that is next month. >> all right. [laughter] >> go ahead. we approve the budget. it will come next month. thank you. [laughter]. >> i'm sorry. go ahead. >> margaret, you have changed?

[laughter] >> i think we are five and 46 of my ten year, we are not very good. brian touched on this project. this is 95 hawthorne street. this is the northeast corner of folsom and hawthorne. a five-story existing office building will be demille -- demolished and placed with a 42 story 444-foot tall for 62 if you include all the rooftops, including 392 dwelling units with ground-floor retail, approximating about 4,000 square feet, but this is a residential project in nature. nineteen% of the dwelling units would be provided on-site which equates to 55 dwelling units. the project is a state density bonus project which means that 35% of the development is being converted to the project by providing very specific a.m.i. levels, which are 50% of the a.m.i., so those are 11%, so the additional develop and capacity is being conferred to this project. [please stand by] . . . >> 80% and 110 respectively. this project has to achieve a greater ability and from the low income tier down to 50. it is even a deeper benchmark. thank you for the question. >> thanks. >> guy place mini park, which is currently under construction is a 4,308 square foot site acquired in coordination with the planning department through the ren con hill plan. due to the lack of open space in the area. with funding through the ren con hill community improvements fund, this vacant property was purchased by the city in march 2007 following a joint approval by the planning and recreation and park commissions. and subsequently by the board of supervisors in 2007. as i mentioned before, this is a growing, densifying area with a lot of new housing and few parks. the park is currently under construction and is expected to be opening in later in 2019. as such, there is not -- we're not able to analyze activity there is and how people use it because it is a construction site. the park design includes a level site with three outdoor rooms that contain bench seating areas and is framed by a variety of plants and trees that have been selected to be adaptive to this much more shaded location. we are piloting a dog relief facility as well on the sidewalk in front of the park. this picture shows a bird's eye view just looking over the park from another vantage point giving you a better sense of how it would be. new shadow from the hawthorne project would occur in the late afternoon hours, entering the park between 3:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m., depending on the day. the shadow would fall roughly on the center of the park. new shadow would be present for up to 16 minutes with an average daily duration of 11 minutes. added shadow would fall in total 59 days early in the year, january and march, as well as in the fall. the largest new shadow would occur on february 16 at 3:56 p.m. and would cover about 12% of the park at that time. the current shadow load on the site is 72% of the total potential sunlight. and the project would increase the shadow load by roughly 1900 square feet and increasing the shadow load by .01%. so going from 72.34% to 72.35%. this picture shows you only the moment of maximum shadow load, but it gives you a sense of where the project is on the left at hawthorne and fullsome and park on the upper right which is on guy place. and the dark shade is the existing shade and the blue is the added shade. so at that very moment it would be fully shaded. but there are other moments when it's not fully shaded. and this would be on february 16 when 533 square feet of shade would be added. this gives you more close up version of it where on the day of maximum shadow impact on february 16. the gray area is the existing shade and the blue area is where the new shade would fall. finally, the shadow study also analyzed cumulative new shadows cast by 18 other nearby projects in the development pipeline. not all these projects will cast shade on guy place. those that do add shade including 95 hawthorne will increase the shadow load on the park by .18%, bringing the total annual shadow to 79.70. which specific project this will shade are unavailable because it was studied in aggregate for this area. the shadow analysis did look at a full buildout of all the projects. since these projects are still being developed, they do not provide a per project analysis on guy place park. any of these future projects that may shade the park in the future could come before this commission. this concludes my presentation. i'll leave you with the quantitative slide. i'm available for questions as is nicholas foser from the planning department. >> thank you. a >> is there any public comment on this item? >> thank you, commissioners. john keppling on behalf of the project sponsor for the project. i wanted to go into the shadow analysis a bit more as this commission is well aware of, typically there is a balancing of the extent of new shadow on a park compared to the public benefit to the project. what the commission will find is the amount of new shadow is very, very minimal. and the public benefits are quite exceptional. if we can start here with the -- with the projector. thank you. here is the project again designed by s.o.m. and nice, elegant building with 302 housing units and 55 of which are below market rate and we have 42 levels. i want to provide this image to give you a sense of the sense of the buildout and with the awe thorn which the commission considered in 2012. there is a number of ways to look at how minimal the shadow is. .01% new shading but only 59 days is new shading during a two-month period in the fall and winter, the largest shadow 534 square feet. another way to look at it, there's 1900 square feet of new shadow hours. the park is just over 4,000 square feet, so the project is essentially only casting new shadow for one hour a year on less than half the park. i do want to get to the last slide. this is the mapping impact that would be necessary to avoid any new shadow. president f i could spend another 10 seconds on this. >> finish. >> this is the amount of the building that would have to be removed in order to avoid any shadow on the park, so it is quite extensive. if you take a look at the final slide, the impact would be a loss of 164 units, 23 of those bmr units. avoiding the shadow impact would be significant for this building, especially the bmr units. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> is there anyone else that would like to make public comment on this item? >> richard. >> good morning again. it was interesting about the median income. and it was lowered from 55 to 50. this particular project is a lot of what is going around the county, steel and glass. we haven't had a major earthquake in a while. so if it happens, i looked at shanghai and how they built high-rise. they put them everywhere. we are kind of like that right now with a different kind of place. see sandy, sand in the landfill. so a junk area. the taller you make a building, the easier it can topple. it hasn't been test bed i the earthquake yet. when i am looking at this, i see what they presented and the additional amount of shadow seems almost negligent, but look at the structure on the houses and i haven't been satisfied that it's going to hold. because it hasn't yet been tested. i do agree with what is is not that significant. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else who would like to make public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> nick, when the existing bui

richards? >> commissioner richards: i'm not a big fan of roof decks. i've had friends that lived in top -- three full units from front to back, and they never used the roof deck. if you -- i'm open to reducing the overhaall height of the building as commissioner moor samoore said, but i'm just not open to the apartment sharing the yard. >> vice president koppel: commissioner fung? >> commissioner fung: i'm supportive of the unit as constituted. i think this area can support larger structures, the three units. the only suggestion is i probably am not going to suggest anything that deals with the separation between the adjacent neighbor and this building on a on windows that are parallel to the property line. however, a small suggestion would be that a six-foot-high solid screen on that side of the deck so there is no visibility between the deck and his kitchen and bathroom. >> commissioner hillis: second. >> vice president koppel: commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: can you make the screen translucent? >> yeah. i've been doing a ton of these, and we get the same comments. we call that opaque screen. you tell me, 6 or 7 feet high. >> commissioner fung: accept it as amended. i didn't know i made the motion. >> vice president koppel: we'll accept that. >> clerk: all right, commissioners, there is somewhat of a motion that's been amended to include a 6-foot opaque screen for a privacy screen. >> commissioner hillis: that translucent or opaque? >> commissioner richards: opaque is fine. rich, rich, rich. [roll call] >> clerk: so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously, 5-0. >> vice president koppel: meeting adjourned. [gavel] >> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do their business in the 49 square files of san francisco. we help san francisco remain unique, successful and right vi. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> i'm one of three owners here in san francisc

richards. >> commissioner richards: i move to continue this until two weeks. i want to make sure. with the direction of the commission is to have more unit density equity. it might take more than two weeks. it will involve redesign of the project. i want to make sure there is an understanding by the project sponsor. the commission is asking for redesign of the units. >> yes. >> good evening. so we are clear. you are asking for greater unit equity between the units. >> preferring one-to-one. >> you are also asking for compromise on parking as well? >> yes and i want to add excessive glazing in the back, like one big window. scale it back a little. >> what about -- you will get to it. what about the variance, how does that affect if we go back to redesign? >> that is up to the ca. >> on the compromise, i mean they are proposing one parking space and one garage door. i would be curious what we know about compromise they can have a parking garage or they can't. i am not sure of the compromise situation in this situation. regarding the variance it is important to note they are proposing two feet two inches deeper than the code lets them go. however, they could do a refaÇade that met that requirement with two bay windows going out three feet and be fairly wide. the math would be close. you may get more mass with the bay windows. i feel like the rear yard variance is not significant. it is similar in terms of the mass they would get with the bay windows anyway. i don't think the discussion here on unit parity or parking would affect the mass in question in the rear. >> thank you. commissioner moore. >> commissioner moore: the question is that the ad joining maybes are concerned about privacy with those two feet. the depiction of the add joining buildings is not clear enough to understand how windows two feet could affect looking back at unit unit. that is a little unclear. i would like to see sensitivity towards privacy in the rear as well, and perhaps slightly better depiction on what it does with add joining buildings relative to where windows are and what types of rooms would be affected. perhaps the neighbor that spoke about it could give explanation when the neighbors rediscuss changes to the building. the department has to take the design review again. there is a second cycle on quite a few issue as here. >> commissioner richards> commissioner richards: i would prefer to have housing over parking. this may be a special special situation with two units and two cars. there may not be enough spaces on the street to allow two more cars. >> space number 8 in front of this is proposed to be removed for a private car. what is proposed is arrangement that space 8 is deeded to him. therefore we don't need to take the parking spice off the street and don't have to build the house and garage. >> that would be great if we could have housing versus parking spaces in the house. great. >> second. july 18th. >> may i propose something other than july 18th. we have a full calendar that day. haven't we continued three items to that day. >> it was a light calendar there was to be a joint hearing on that day that got moved. with the pac. joking, it is lake. >> okay fine. >> there is a motion seconded to continue this matter with direction from commission to july 18th. (roll call). so moved commissioners. >> public hearing and con

richard. >> richard: i'm not sure what that is that charlie is talking about there. >> shannon: elizabeth warren senator elizabeth warren's proposal for a couples not allowed to marry and couldn't get the same tax benefits and so i think her number was $50 million. >> richardatic party looking for ideas on how we move this country forward and how we advance the rights of all people and not just a chosen few. having a debate about these ideas is the best thing for the party. look at cities, she is from the city of detroit. and making a comeback but that comeback is not happening in all quadrants of the city. parts of the city where it's working and parts of the city where it's not working. what the democratic party is trying to do is make sure it works for all parts of the city. and he is right. there are people calling out democrats for not getting it right but let's be clear. these two are not running to the republican party's to vote for donald trump. they want progressive candidates that will stand up for their issues. >> shannon: will they open the polls based on these promises? >> gianno: are obviously, there is a lot of folks focusing on showing up for the polls. and hopefully folks will call it for what it is, it is a hoax. this is not something the

richard —— richard ratcliffe there.trump breaks up. we saw the moment when president trump walked over onto north korean soil. they then came back into the demilitarised income of the peace village, where they will have this meeting. there might be something to report. we will continue to monitor that just in case. in the meantime, let's have a look at the weather. yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far. we had temperatures of 34 degrees in london. today is a pleasa nt 34 degrees in london. today is a pleasant day for many of us but not as hot for many of us. blue skies in northamptonshire this morning. the further south and east you are the more chance of blue skies. things are not feeling as hot as they have done. the heat and humidity is getting squeezed away towards the east. last night we had this cold front that made its way east across the uk. still a few showers to come today, particularly across the western half of scotland. northern ireland seen one or two of them showers. there could be a rumble of

>> richard engel, in zell seoul for us tonight. richard, thank you president trump's trip to that global summit in japan offered a chance to reunite with world leaders, both friends and foes the president vowing to hold off slapping additional tariffs on china, at least for now, but also raising eyebrows by his warm interactions with several other controversial figures. nbc's hans nichols is also in seoul and has our report >> reporter: president trump departed from japan with a temporary ceasefire in the trade war with china >> at least for the time being we're not gondshe agreement with president xi jinping, mr. trump agreed not to slap 25% tariffs on some $300 billion of chinese imports. he will also allow u.s. firms to sell to the chinese tech giant huawei >> we're going to work with china on where we left off >> reporter: in return, china has agreed, according to trump, to buy american agricultural products. the president also met with russia's vladimir putin and saudi arabia's crown princ mohamed bin salman mr. trump seen playfully g

richard nixon. richard nixon called him his executioner. why? understoodn everything that was building. it was leading up to impeachment. because brooks was the driving force, that's why he referred to him that way. it never got to impeachment because nixon resigned. he released the tapes. he knew about the problems in his administration and the illegal acts, the obstruction of justice. mentioned the democrat from new jersey was reluctant to begin the impeachment proceedings. why? impeachment had happened for almost 100 years. johnson, everyone it was a major step for american democracy. it's not something that should be taken lightly or used to settle feuds. it is something that means host: there is a serious question about the president. are there lessons for today? lessons are it should be very deliberate. we shouldn't just rush into it. there should be very definite articles that say this is worthy of impeachment. it doesn't have to be an actual crime. that's what nixon and his lawyer wanted to argue. the bar was it was an actual crime, they could defend against that in a court of law. impeachment doesn't involve actual crimes. obstruction, it could be disobeying one of the articles. the president not obeying a congress, that is something we can look to today. there are a lot of things that are similar. you have to have the political will to move ahead. host: what made congressman brooks qualify -- qualified for the impending impeachment of richardnixon? it almost certainly would have led to impeachment in the house. guest: i think you mentioned earlier about the president going to europe and the greatest generation. jack brooks was a member of the greatest generation. he served in the south pacific during the war. he went island hopping in the marines. he had risen through the ranks of state legislator and then to congress where he was under the tutelage of sam rayburn. he was a great friend of lbj. a bosom buddy. he learned how things worked. that was extraordinarily important, he understood where the pitfalls were. when they talked about votes, they knew what the other congressman needed, what they could do. they were very selective. i think that is something that is important. it's not just about making statements to the press. it's about knowing the process. host: your book was also featured in a recent article in politico magazine. the man richard nixon called his executioner, what democrats can learn from jack brooks. he

richard? >> you know, with that, hans, let's goth straight back to the dmz with richard engel, our chief foreign correspondent. richard, do we know in terms of timing, is it any moment that we expect president trump to be arriving there, t richard? as well as kim jong un? i see there's buses behind you. ie' don't know if that was ther earlier when we were speaking. >> reporter: no, there have been buss and? traffic moving in and out of this viarea. on the south korean side the dmz is something of a tourist destination as well. people can come here. there are food vendors overlooking the dmz. families can come. they can picnic. they can barbecue. so this is always quite an active area. then inside the dmz it is a closed military zone and that is where they -- the president and kim jong un are goingt to be meeting. just a b little bit more information about the redmz because it is smfg an anachronism in history. it is very muchto a cold war-li creation, more akin to checkpoint charlie than anything else that we have in the world today today. at the end of hostilities in the korean war this area was set up specifically s

richard kurt -- richard claret is pretty similar. rich claret is another trump appointee. he has been making dovish arguments on interest rates. they did hike rates in december but since then, you've seen a real pivot at the fed. it seems like rich claret has been an important voice in that pivot. he's quick to give jay powell credit to all of that. conferencemuch at a a few weeks ago that was focused on the fed framework review that richardlaret has been spearheading. there's definitely a lot of soul-searching. taylor: we are going to thank you. we are going to have to get to the president making comments now. pres. trump: a great career. west point, harvard, tremendous talent, just named acting secretary of defense. he was secretary of the army. i got to know him very well. who is ahanahan, wonderful person, is going to take some time off for family matters. i want to thank him for his service. he's a terrific person. it's a difficult time for pat but he's going to take some time off for family service and working things out. i think you know about it. is going to be outstanding and we look forward .o working with him >> did you ask him to withdraw? pres. trump: i didn't. he said it is going to be a rough time for him because of what happened. i did not ask him. he presented me with a letter this morning. that was his decision. yesterdayd about it for the first time. i didn't know about it yes -- i didn't know about it.

richard it came from richard nixon in his first term, and he was extraordinary. he pointed out the title ix. what i think is also true, i suspect -- that is no reason not to make steps forward, even though they may not be fulfilled as you hope it will be. i think the epa has been a mixed bag. administration, it has been badly abused. in the state of california, it has been. 160 of the first endangered species. well, it was an opportunity for advocates to seize upon things that did not make sense. he definitely understood that education was vitally important. that people should have the opportunity, whether they were whateveroor to go to educational level they could achieve. title ix is an example of something that both was a good step forward in some respects, but one that has been abused. anyone whoe of serves their president. i could not wait for this president to take office and of the executive orders that president obama had put in place. to me, one of the most important things in the u.s. constitution is the doctrine of separation of powers. it was extraordinary that the founding fathers made that as strong as it is, but it is constantly endangered. there are reasons to have a strong executive and to assign powers. but when the president said, i have a pen and a phone, and if congress cannot do what i am asking them to do, i will do it by executive order. that is an abuse of power. that is an abuse of the constitution, and it should have been called out. [applause] so, i think that there is a lot that young people can learn. the tragedy is what david pointed out. he said it is not their fault. that is true. in many cases, it is not their fault. they simply have not been taught. ist is not just said, it dangerous because it leads to of mindless ignoring of peril that led to the first -- to the second world war. there are only 20 years between the first and second world war. that weerfectly obvious were not going to have peace in our time with hitler's. the other axis powers. why not? alreadythey had virtually overrun all of europe. waswinston churchill hanging on by his fingernails, urging fdr to bring america into a war that seemed inevitable. it was inevitable. the thing that was so tragic is that what happened is more of the u.s. senate were such strict and outspoken actual ration us -- outspoken isolationists that we were woefully unprepared for war. that obvious weakness invited war. it came. when it came, on the eve of , ranking armies of at world put the u.s. army about 18th, right behind romania or bulgaria. 1939 hade corps in 17,000 officers. a future comment on of the marine corps was a second lieutenant. that is patients. it was dangerous. of 440,000he death young americans. that is the number of k.i.a.. the reason is because the warlords in berlin and tokyo expected that either the u.s. would not fight, listening to , if we isolationists, or -- theyt, they could could make short work of us because we were such a weak p ower. they made a terrible mistake, but it should never happen again. wrong withthing being a superpower, if you're the kind of superpower that the u.s. was and i hope will always be. after world war ii, we rebuilt europe. enough toealistic agree that there should be an organization like the u.n. it was a good intention, but it was also another example of something that people who were , that weresame mind not democracies. it has been undermined by the structure that it was given. the security council has five members. it has not been a good thing. if you are president of the u.s., you can look at a successor. importanty, it is so civicsat we used to call by the time they come of voting age, they will have some understanding of what to expect and what to demand. >> mentioned churchill. andrew roberts has written a volume. he said, what a giant he was. easily one of your greatest presidents. i believe he will be presented as one of the very grades. how do you think he will be remembered? those -- for shockingly, one of the major political parties in this is having to decide whether or not they will become full-blown socialists or not. many of them are. an awkward position of having to , who are their people much more interested in having for its own sake than they are in following the constitution. they are trying to make william barr into something that he is not. he is a very bright, very attorneyd, very gutsy was attorney general 30 years ago. people say that he wants to just keep his job. he has had the job. he had it 30 years ago. of -- hee same kind was the same kind of gutsy guy that he is now. i think that -- i am not that roberts rendered that judgment. it is one that i shared. i think that there will always be people who attempt to tear down those with whom they disagree. whoe will always be people -- they are such total advocates for a point of be inthat they cannot good -- they cannot be good negotiators. the thing that he sees as a -- what he sees is that richardnixon was a man with a powerful intellect, with absolutely -- what he did, -- 1962ack, the defeat -- the defeat in 1962. heaking as he did, so that won the confidence of the people at a time when they needed confidence restored. it deserves recognition of the kind -- a really remarkable historian like roberts is capable of giving. i think that he is right. maybe time has to pass. can -- people have of the kind of intellectual honesty and integrity that judgment wires. maybe they have to pass from the scene. that he is proven right. i certainly hope that is true. i think it is interesting. also recently was in the pages of the wall street aboutl in an op-ed brexit. there are arguments both ways, but he took a point of view that kingdom that united took. they cannot seem to figure out how to implement it yet. interesting was because in his op-ed, he made the point. ,e said something to the effect certainly our american cousins would understand why so many in to nation do not wish capital

and now tonight's dinner that he gets to host in america's palace in london. >> richard, good to see you as always. richard engel in london for us. the u.s. and the u.k.'s relations remain strong. it's clear there is serious strain on this special relationship. that strain was even more clear as the president again attacked the london mayor while standing next to the prime minister just one day after calling the mayor a stone cold loser. mayor khan responded to that saying it was behavior he would expect from an 11-year-old but talked about his handling of trump. >> there are serious issues we're going to raise with the president of the usa. yes, of course, they're our closest allies. we have a special relationship with them. i compare it to having a best friend. our expectations of best friends are much mire than they are acquaintances. if we have differences we should be able to express them honestly and candidly, and our frustration with our prime minister and our government is this weakness and inability to share some of the concerns we've got with donald trump. >> with me now, columnist and senior con

richard curtis. i'm a real suckerfor richard curtis anyway so this is in some ways the best directed richard curtis filmou will ever see. you were literally crying with laughter. what is really lovely is, it is one of those ‘what if‘ set ups. what if you were the only person who remembered the beatles? as soon as you start to think about the logistics of it, hang on, that doesn't work, that doesn't work and that doesn't work, and in the third act there is a particularly problematic scene, but i don't care, and i don't care because i was doing exactly what you were doing, i was laughing and smiling and actually crying pretty much all the way through. i think himesh patel is terrific, i think it is one of those films which you go with it, you absolutely go with it, and i think it has got that lovely thing that we all know, richard curtis loves pop music, we know danny boyle is someone who really understands the way pop music works in a film, and what this manages to do is to say, let's just go with this idea. there's this lovely, it's not even a cameo, it's a role by ed sheeran playing ed sheeran. i laugh

richard curtis. i'm a real suckerfor richard curtis anyway. this is, in some ways, the best directed richard curtis film you will ever see, because danny boyle... you were literally crying with laughter. i did laugh out loud in the cinema when i saw the trailer. a few people did look at me. what's really lovely is it is one of those what if set ups, what if you were the only person who remembered the beatles? what i think the film does is, as soon as you start to think about the logistics of it you go, hang on, that doesn't work and that doesn;t work and that doesn't work. in the third act there is a particularly problematic scene, the whole of which could have come out and i don't care. the reason i don't care is i was doing exactly what you were doing. i was laughing and smiling and actually crying pretty much all the way through. i think himesh patel is terrific and it's a real star—making performance. i think that it's one of those films in which you go with it, you absolutely go with it. and i think it's got that lovely thing where we all know that richard curtis loves pop music and we

richards. >> commissioner richards: can we allow the office to go through the dr process but prohibit new offices added when the space is available. >> if i understand you correctly you permit the use porch the th- for that current b-10nant -- for that current tenant. that is challenging from the fact we are regulating the land use. we would be basically creating abandonment based on the vacation by the current tenant, and is it possible legally? we can defer to the city attorney for advice. it would be challenging for a 10 year period. >> commissioner hillis: i -- >> commissioner hillis: i move to approve with staff's recommendation not to permit office use. >> can you clarify. >> i am moving to approve as written by the supervisor but disallowing office from participating in the program. >> there are two modifications to the proposed legislation. one decrease the time period from 10 to three years. >> keep it at 10 years. the way i understand it, the first motion is to approval resolution without any of staff's modifications. >> i thought that was withdrawn. >> withdrawing thesem con. i support commissioner hillis' motion. >> second. >> very good there is a motion seconded. shall i call the question. commissioners to approve with modification -- only with the second proposed modification from staff regarding the office legitimate program. >> was there with the seeking a more permanent solution a recommendation? >> yes. >> just clarifying that your motion then disallows all of the 48 units that are right now using the office use from being legalized now. >> that is staff guess at what it is? it is educated. they can come and petition those uses. >> on that motion. one clarification on this office thing. can a current office be participating in the amnesty program or are we throwing them all in the street? >> under the motion made? >> no office would participate in amnesty in the motion you made. >> no way to figure out the office we want and don't want? >> it is tough. it is not regulating by land use. >> i will swallow hard. >> one potential solution is allow office participate with three year limitation. give the other uses the 10 year limitation. it is only the office with the three years. >> let's vote. >> the motion stands. >> very good. there is a motion seconded to approve with modifications. the only modification being that office uses would not be able to participate in the legit mat program on that motion. (roll call). >> that motion passes 4-3 with commissioners johnson ric richas and melgar voting against. >> there seems to be interested in three year for office and 10 year. let's rescind that vote and take the vote on the second one. >> i thought it was clear. >> on the office it would have to go through mandatory dr if you decide to allow or not. >> i heard a motion to resend by the maker of the previous motion. on that motion t motion to preve to rescind. (roll call). >> that motion passes unanimously 7-0. >> commissioner hillis. >> the alternative motion is approve with modifications and the modifications are that we allow office use to participate in the legit mat program but decrease the time for that use to three years. >> second. >> for everyone else 10 years. >> commissioner moore. >> commissioner moore: it is unusual that there is no office applicant here today speaking for themselves. that makes me a little uneasy. everybody else has passionately spoken in support of each other except as a huge nothing regarding office. >> commissioner richards. >> we will hear from those on the 48 or so drs coming our way. >> commissioner johnson. >> commissioner johnson: i want to remind it is accessibility. not everybody can leave the office in the middle of the afternoon but we have received e-mails speaking to that concern. >> have good there is a motion to approve with modifications and allowing the offices to participate up to three years. on that motion commissioner fong. >> commissioner fong: aye. (roll call). >> so moved that motion passes unanimously 7-0. >> that will place us on item 11 sea level vulnerable and consequences assessment. >> good afternoon, the city wide planning division. i am here to update on the sea level rise adaptation work. specifically the consequences assessment. i am joined by memberses our team including i don't know if bryan is here. brine strong chief officer along with henry rogers. steven, consultant chris may who can help with answering technical questions. i am going to go through project background

weighs in on bob mueller saying he didn't fire the special counsel because of what happened to richard nixon. richard nixon. >> good monday morning. it's june 17. i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside white house correspondent jeff bennett. internal numbers were leaked to the media showing joe biden ahead of trump in several key states according to one person close to the campaign who spoke to nbc news. from details in a memo that found trump trailing biden in 11 states. wisconsin, pennsylvania, florida and michigan, four states where trump edged clinton by narrow margins that proved decisive

richard nixon. richard nixon. >> good monday morning. it's june 17. i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside white house correspondent jeff bennett. internal numbers were leaked to the media showing joe biden ahead of trump in several key states according to one person close to the campaign who spoke to nbc news. from details in a memo that found trump trailing biden in 11 states. wisconsin, pennsylvania, florida and michigan, four states where trump edged clinton by narrow margins that proved decisive in his victory, trump trails biden. in other states, biden's lead sits outside the poll's margin of error and trails by 17 points in virginia, 15 in maine, 14 in minnesota, 8 in north carolina, 7 in iowa, 6 in georgia and one point in ohio. in texas where a democratic nominee, trump leads by just two points. >> last week, trump denied the existence of the internal polling and aired more of their interview yesterday. >> your own poll show you are behind, don't they? >> no. they all show i'm winning everywhere. >> we see you are behind 15 out of 17 states. >> nobody showed you those polls because those don't exist. i just had a meeting with somebody who is a polster and i'm winning everywhere. a few seconds later, he has to go off the record to call his campaign manager. >> hold off a second and i want to call brad and ask him that question. >> despite the greatest presidential harassment of all time by people that are very dishonest and want to destroy our country, we are doing great in the polls even better than in 2016. >>> a fox news poll finds president trump trailing several democratic 2020 contenders with joe biden topping trump by 10 points, 49% by 39%. bernie sanders leads by nine points and elizabeth warren leads by two points. >> in new portions of his abc interview, president trump said he is not worried that his attacks on the media and perceived enemies are hurting the country. >> you are here and it seems like you feel this need to push back at perceived enemies. >> no. at false stories and fake news. nobody has any idea how corrupt the media is. not all of it. >> when you need the media at the time of national crisis, we are not going to have the kind of unity we need. >> i'm not worried about it. >> thank you for joining us. as we are reporting, it seems like the trump campaign is pretty rattled by some of these polls where he is trailing several 2020 democrats. could we see the president in his campaign shake up the strategy a bit here? >> i think we are already actually seeing that. the president up until this point has really stuck to conservative media, his allies and fox news an other conservative outlets. the georinterview where it seem like the president is branching out and trying to reach out to a larger portion of the electorate realizing he needs to get beyond the 45% of his conservative base that has stuck with him through thick and thin up until this point. he realizes that if he wants to recreate the magic of 2016, winning florida and michigan and wisconsin and other key states, he needs to get beyond that 45% threshold. it is interesting, he has been able to hold on to those folks but he realizes that he has a big challenge ahead of him. >> what do you make of internal numbers that makes for those losing against 2020 democratic contenders. he's almost under water in ruby red texas. >> the president is enormously unpopular in the country with a big portion of the electorate of the voters. that is in part why i think the president and his campaign realize he needs to turn things around, as you mentioned, shake things up a little bit. we will see the president go down to florida tomorrow, tuesday to officially kick off his reelection campaign. i think florida, orlando specifically is significant in that florida twice went for president obama during his tenure and then flipped and went for president trump in 2016 and 2018 during a horrible year for republicans last fall, republicans saw bright spots in florida winning a senate seat and governorship by the slimmest of margins and won it nonetheless. i think the president and his people see florida as a bright spot and somewhere where they can continue to make in roads. >> that being said, we are about a year and a half out from the election now. how much do we actually make of these polls at this appointment? how do you think the president fairs in interviews like we've been watching? i imagine he'll be doing much more of those in the coming months? >> i think the president said that himself that people would be seeing him more, perhaps on more diverse networks and in interpret interviews like this one over the weekend. the president did call these numbers phoney fake numbers as he often does. on the other hand, his own campaign has acknowledged that those leaked internal memos were specific and were accurate. so a little bit of a mixed message between the president and his own campaign. >> until they turn in his favor. then he'll be touting them. >> all too predictable at this point. >> scott wong, thank you so much. >>> secretary of state mike pompeo is defending president trump's comments from last week. on fox news yesterday, he dismissed questions when the president was asked if given dirt. >> is accepting oppo research right or wrong. >> you told me not to call any of your questions today ridiculous. that was really close right there. president trump made it very clear. he said i'd do both and call the fbi. >> he said maybe i'd do both. >> president trump is clear that he will always make sure he'll get it right for the american people. i'm confident he'll do it here as well. >> the president told fox and friends on friday and i agree. he kind of walked it back. >> no, he didn't. >> he did. he said maybe and then friday, he said he'd listen first and if it was bad, he'd take it to the fbi or attorney general. he made it clear that he did not see this as foreign interference. he said it is not interference, it's information. the country has a long history dating back to george washington in saying that foreign interference in our elections is unacceptable. >> this president trump believes that too and nothing further to add. >> mike pompeo also says more information on the attack in the gulf of onan is coming. some allies have requested strong ever evidence than the video that appears to show the iranian patrol boat that appears to remove an unexploded mine from one of the ships. >> this was a clear intent to deny transit through the straight. no doubt, there is lots of data and evidence. we don't want war. we've done what we can to doe t detour this. >> saudi arabian crowned prince said the country would not pause in confronting iran. telling reporters this, the kingdom does not want war in the region but we will not accept any threat to our people, our country or vital interests. >>> alexandria ocasio-cortez says she is not endorsing any candidate yet. she said sanders has not asked for her endorsement but he has asked for her help cosponsoring several bills which she is happy to offer. >> do you have an edge, you volunteered for his campaign? >> i think what we really need right now is a presidential candidate that is going to fight for the well being of working class americans and all americans. i think he does that excellently. i believe his policies do that. i believe senator warren's policies do that. i think that's what we need to be looking for. >> still ahead, some of the 2020 democratic candidates weigh in on whether president trump should be prosecuted when he leaves office. >>> new reporting from the "new york times" that u.s. is ramping up cyber attacks on russia. what administration officials are telling the paper about that. those stories and a check on the weather when we come right back. you should be mad at tech that's unnecessarily complicated. make ice. but you're not, because you have e*trade, which isn't complicated. their tools make trading quicker and simpler so you can take on the markets with confidence. don't get mad. get e*trade. to take care of yourself. but nature's bounty has innovative ways to help you maintain balance and help keep you active and well-rested. because hey, tomorrow's coming up fast. nature's bounty. because you're better off healthy. you eat right... mostly. nature's bounty. you make time... when you can. but sometimes life gets in the way, and that stubborn fat just won't go away. coolsculpting takes you further. a non-surgical treatment that targets, freezes, and eliminates treated fat cells, for good. discuss coolsculpting with your doctor. some common side-effects include temporary numbness, discomfort, and swelling. don't imagine results, see them. coolsculpting, take yourself further. hey! i live on my own now! i've got xfinity, because i like to live life in the fast lane. unlike my parents. you rambling about xfinity again?

i don't know your phone number. aw well. he doesn't know our phone number! you have our fax number, obviously... today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'll pass. . >>> welcome back. senator kamala harris has walked back comments she made about prosecuting president trump if elected. >> you said you would prosecute donald trump. he said if he were you, he would do the same thing. what is your reaction to that? >> i'm sorry? that i would prosecute? no, no. i said the department of justice will go and follow the facts wherever they lead. i believe that's what they will do and should do. >> so harris told npr last week, her administration would likely pursue charges against the president and pete buttigieg did weigh in and said the next white house should not be involved in. >> the saying her justice department would have no choice but to go ahead with charges against president trump. would your justice department do the same thing? >> my justice department would be empowered to reach its own conclusion. two things are clear, one, nobody is above the law. two, the justice department should have nothing to do with politics. >> joining us here, msnbc analyst. the problem was with regard to the e-mails. the problem was, he didn't necessarily have evidence to back that up. you are hearing harris dance around that. is this a bit premature to be talking about stuff like this, despite the fact that there is a 440-page mueller report? >> it may not be premature, it may be already resolved. if you look at all of the precedent, all of the mueller report, it concludes largely a sitting president cannot be prosecuted. we are entering this strange new phase where some candidates, their platform is whether or not they'll prosecute other politicians. we talk about no man or woman is above the law. the president may be an exception to that. the mueller report is a testimony that a sitting president may not be prosecuted. >> democrats playing on a liberal fever theme on either wanting to see president trump frog marched out of the white house. let's play out the hype thothet, if he gets two terms, could the next candidate then charge him? >> this is a great question. when you have a statute of limitations and a press that cannot be prosecuted, does a process called equitable tolling does a judge stop and say, do we wait until he's out and hit the pause button and restart it after he's out of office? the answer is probably no, for the most part, tolling is something we use in civil cases where you are just handing over money. where somebody's life or liberty is at stake, it is usually five years, you can't hit the pause button just because you think it would be fair. that would be unfair to a criminal defend enter. in all likelihood, if president trump is in office long enough that all the statutes against him expire, then he is probably in the clear. >> let's check the weather now with bill ckarins. >> dallas, texas dodging storms this weekend. you can see the big rain shield there. winds did gust 40 to 50 miles an hour. minor delays at the airport and then it was said and done. that was the scene around many areas this weekend with hit and miss storms. the storms in texas are beginning to exit the coastal areas. houston and san antonio, you are just about done. we have a little light rain in pennsylvania. later today, we will see some storms pop up. these will be stronger from washington, d.c. to baltimore, philadelphia southwards, atlantic city and new jersey, 13 million people at risk of severe storms. wind damage and maybe a little hail. the area of green is what we call a marginal risk. maybe only a couple cases of severe weather. >> let me give you the timing. here are some of the showers this morning. it all kind of dries up in the middle of the day. this afternoon, with the peek heating of the day, the storms will pop up. these are all the little dots and thunderstorms on the map. kentucky, west ohio valley, west virginia and virginia. on tuesday, we do it again. new york city early in the afternoon. those storms could be strong around our nation's capitol. if you have any late afternoon flights, you may get some delays out of there. today, boston, chicago you are dry. showers and storms in florida. haven't mentioned much in the west. you are very dry and hot like you wouldn't expect for the middle of june. get ready to kick in the summer. sfl >>> protesters take to the streets of hong kong to denounce their own government and be extension, beijing. we'll have the latest coming up next. ways to help you maintain balance and help keep you active and well-rested. because hey, tomorrow's coming up fast. nature's bounty. because you're better off healthy. nature's bounty. can't see what it is yet.re?

(osamah) successfully treating it still remains one of the most enormous challenges facing us today. we realized that, if we developed the technology that could take 2-dimensional patient imaging and convert it into 3-dimensional holographic renderings, we could enable surgeons to dissect around the cancer so we can precisely remove it. when we first started, we felt like this might just not be possible because computing power just wasn't there, but verizon 5g ultra wideband will give us the ability to do this. we won't rest until we see this technology being able to change lives. >> welcome back. hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets yesterday to demand an end to the proposed ska decision bill. protesters carried white flowers and protest banners. it comes a day after hong kong's chief executive carrie lam shelved the bill and apologized for the bill. nearly 2 million people were in the massive crowd yesterday. police say the official count was at 338,000 at the protest's peek. protesters say they will not back down until the bill is removed all together. >>> vice president mike pence expected to give a speech on the anniversary of the tiananmen massacre until the president stopped him. ahead of a meeting with xi. pence planned to preview in his remarks. the vice president's speech is tentatively rescheduled by with xi's commitment to attend the meeting. a spokesperson for the vice president called the story, quote, false. claiming the speech date was moved so pence could review flood damage in oklahoma instead. >>> still ahead, president trump evokes richard nixon. >> president trump has been repeatedly attacking joe biden. now he may be setting sights on senator elizabeth warren. more is coming up next. ♪ dealing with psoriatic arthritis pain was so frustrating. my skin... it was embarrassing. my joints... they hurt. the pain and swelling. the tenderness. the psoriasis. i had to find something that worked on all of this. i found cosentyx. now, watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are getting real relief with cosentyx. it's a different kind of targeted biologic. cosentyx treats more than just the joint pain of psoriatic arthritis. it even helps stop further joint damage. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms. if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. i

richard clarida.- richard analysts question the 10 year as investors flood into u.s. 10 year. u-turn on iran. the president approves a strike and then calls it off. david: welcome to "bloomberg daybreak" on this friday, june 21. it is the summer solstice, so happy summer. we did have this interview with richardalked about the independence of the fed. >> we are just doing our job. it helps that we have a very crisp and clear mandate. we have a toolkit, an excellent staff. we have 12 reserve bank presidents around the country. we sit at that big table across the hall. we have an objective. we have the tools, and we have a very collegial committee, and we reach good decisions. david: that is a great piece of that interview, but that was actually a response to a question about paying attention to the fiscal side. he basically said we are doing our job, they are doing their job. alix: if trump winds up affecting things with china on the downside, and the market once lower rates and gets really nervous, they wind up buying bonds, which moves the yields lower, which pressures the fed to act. in essence, there is a feedback come about regardless of the rhetoric from president trump. david: in chairman powell said we are paying attention to trade. that is one of the uncertainties we are talking about

joining me now from istanbul is richard engel. richard, i'm going to start with you on this one, iran's foreign minister is calling this attack suspicious to say the least. no one has taken responsibility for this attack as of yet. and no one has placed blame on anybody as of yet. but there are certainly some finger pointing going on. what do we know so far. >> an iranian official just a few moments ago, went further than the foreign minister saying, iran had nothing to do with this attack, saying that somebody else -- the iranian official didn't name who that somebody was is trying to pin this on iran and increase tensions between iran and the rest of the world. this is the message we've been hearing from iran going back to the first incident one month ago. something is brewing here, tensions are rising, these two incidents that happened one month apart are very important, they share similarities. and differences. one month ago, there were four tankers, they were at anchor just off the uae. and they were attacked according to officials i

richard engel. richard, good morning to you. thank you for joining us on authenticityingly enough, jeremy corbyn leading one of the protests today. we heard a couple of days ago the president said if jeremy corbyn were to become prime minister he would actually not want to share intelligence with jeremy corbyn. despite that and other insults president trump has laid into in the last couple of days, it appears yesterday went off without an international incident. >> reporter: so, i'm here in trafalgar square. protests are just starting to gather. protesters could be in the tens of thousands over the course of the day. the trump baby blimp is just a few blocks away in parliament square. there's another feature here which is a centerpiece, a robotic statue of president trump on a golden commode. it speaks and says some of his signature catch phrases like you're fake news and no collusion. president trump is an object of ridicule here and if this protest is anything like the one almost a year ago in downtown london it will be a carnival-like atmosphere. the issues here are quite serious. this country is going through a tremendous political transition. president trump will meet with prime minister theresa may who is leaving office just at the end of this week, so president trump is coming here, he had the formal portion much his reception yesterday meeting the royals, having the dinner banquet with the queen. today a much more political day with bigger protest, much more room for the president to get into trouble and to wade into politics that has so often upset the british people. >> richard, while we see obviously trump on that golden throne, we see an individual who seems he's a trump supporter. he has a trump 2020 t-shirt on as well. i'm wonder if you're seeing more of that as well. he also has an israeli flag. >> reporter: not really. he's one guy. he was around yesterday as well finding all the cameras, putting himself in. he was carrying a giant american flag. i don't think we'll see very large counter trump, pro trump protests today. this one individual, he was here yesterday as well. i think you'll see him a lot in front of the cameras. but certainly outnumbered. >> he knows how to strategically position himself. >>> star witness in watergate will return to capitol hill as democrats consider the path forward an impeachment proceedings against president trump. the house judiciary committee will call john dean to testify as part pachbl on the mueller report which chronicled the pressure that president trump put on his own white house counsel don mcgahn. 46 years ago

richards? >> commissioner richards: so i have a different take, commissioner moore. when these things come up, these guys know what they're doing. they can call up nancy skinner. in the reasoning of transparency, they know what they're doing. we require a developer to put a rent controlled unit back in addition to the b.m.r. units. >> so it is accurate that the replacement unit requirement that's state law would come out of the inclusionary policy for the requirement. however, the way that the bill's structured, it says if you're going to do the replacement units, it needs to be affordable. the low-income unit would be affordable. it's very complicated. i don't have a definitive answer, but i think what the state law is saying you would provide a unit that's affordable as well as the right of first refusal. if you were in a protected unit for one of the separate reasons, you would get the right of first refusal for the unit. >> commissioner richards two things. i think we're getting less, so it's a step backwards. two, as these things are coming forward with the right of first refusal, can we take a look at what's happening as they come through? >> vice president koppel: commissioner hillis? >> commissioner hillis: just to follow up on that. that was a little different answer than i thought you gave me. state's got that requirement. they've got tenant protections. ours sometimes are better or more, you know, favorable to the existing tenant. can we continue on to do that? >> yeah. i think the phrase is stronger or more stringent in state law. i think that's us to figure out if a market rate is more beneficial to the tenant than a unit that meets the definition under state law. >> commissioner hillis: we can go beyond where there's an issue -- where there's a c.u. for demolition of a particular building, we can continue to do the things that we've done in the past for the conservatory and music building. >> right. it specifically

legitimate concerns about collateral damage to civilians, he made the right call >> and richard joins us now. richard there are new signs tonight there could be diplomatic efforts here. what do we know? >> well, lester, one thing about going all the way to the drink is that it either leads to a conflict or could force diplomacy. and the u.s. has requested a meeting on iran at the u.n. security counsel and it will be on the agenda in japan at the g20 summit with president trump attending. >> all right thank you. there's much more of chuck todd's interview with president trump sunday morning on "meet the press. >>> there is new accusation tonight against president trump from a female columnist who says he sexual assaulted her more than two decades ago but tonight president trump says it never happened. anne thompson has the details. >> reporter: carroll has had many roles, advice columnist, writer, talk show host now in a new book excerpted today in new york magazine, carol reveals a shocking claim saying president donald trump assaulted her in the 90s, an accusation is white house calls false and unre

richard fowler show, richard fowler. >> good to see you. kennedy: thank you. people are rotting in california prison who are victim the of kamala harris a policies. richard. know other than some pandering lines that she is throwing out trying to get people excited about her flagging candidacy what are her big ideas? >> all 23 of our candidates have gate ideas. >> not necessarily. >> they do. kennedy: not everyone gets a trophy. >> they have great ideas, kamala plan that i like, you talk about increases the, the, the income for teachers, all across this country, owe educators year aftr year take it on the nose, as corporate ceos have their incomes increase, teachers have a thank less job, they have not seen raises, a point they walk out of the classroom with textbooks today that say george bush is president, and classes in detroit with no internet, or toilets falling through the roof. kennedy: that is so interesting, they throw -- these teachers union they do such a disservice to the actual teachers and students, they never really talk about learning. >> not true. kennedy: it is. >> not true. kennedy: absolutely. kennedy: weingarten is unpatriotic as it get

richard nettleton. >> richard was -- when i started in this profession as a professional engineer. i had a sense of what a professional engineer should be and that was rich. he was somebody who was very comprehensive, soft spoken. he thought things through. he was a good mentor to others and he was a good friend. >> you said he was the perfect public servant. how so? >> yes. well, he always strived to find the best solutions to problems to make the best use -- optimize the use of public funds, and he looked for ways of making projects last as long as they could. he was very efficient in that manner. he had the personality that would deal with the public i think very well. he never really got upset. like i said, he was a good friend. we had a great relationship. >> i'm so sorry for your loss and for the loss of this man who you described as being so helpful to people around him. pastor robert, i know you had the opportunity to go to the hospital where some of the family members of the victims are sort of sitting vigil. what did you tell them when you got there? >> well, what we do is go and give them hope. these things happen, tragedies happen. there is hope. hope is in our faith. i went down and talked to the family, sat with the family and prayed with the family. >> final note, pastor. i think that after we've lived through so many mass shootings in this country in the past -- call it whatever you want, 15 years. it's hard to still have hope. >> yes, it is hard, but hope is there. and i often use the expression god comes on strongest when you need him the most. certainly, as i prayed for those people, those families the other night, you could feel the presence of god in that room. >> how did they receive your message? >> they received it well. you'll find that people in those situations, they're open to faith, open to prayer, open to that encouragement and comfort. that's what we give. >> bob, it's very horrible obviously when something like this happens. it's also so frustrating and vexing when there's no sign, when there's no note, when there's no anything for police to hang on to at the moment that they're sharing with us of why this would happen. how do you make sense of why this gunman would go in and open fire and kill 12 of his co-workers? >> it doesn't make sense to me. i know a few people that have met him, knew him, and he was not that kind of person. something snapped obviously. but it happens. these things happen on a daily basis, and we've just get -- circle the wagons, get around the families and let them know we're there for them, there to help them and there to bring that help that i'm talking about. >> bob, what about you? what do you think happened here? >> i really don't know. like i said, it's been five years since i last saw the shooter, and i didn't really know him that well at the time anyway. i understand that maybe things have happened in the last five years. people change. you'd have to go back and take a look at what's happened in his life recently. i don't know. >> well, three city officials say the gunman recently cracked. that's their word. but again, we don't have any information about what caused that or what that looked like, but bob, we appreciate you telling us about richard he was such a dear friend to you. i know you said it was really hard for you to watch the red sox/yankees game without him. >> that's right. i'd just like to say please pray for his wife sarah. she needs all the help she can get right now. >> thank you for that message and for sharing your personal friendship, your long, 25-year friendship with him. pastor robert cameron, thank you for your words of hope. we appreciate talking to both of you this morning. >> thank you, alisyn. >> thank you. >>> "the good stuff" next. biopharmaceutical researchers. pursuing life-changing cures in a country that fosters innovation here, they find breakthroughs... like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient's own t-cells... because it's not just about the next breakthrough... it's all the ones after that. seaonly abreva cany to help sget rid of it in... ...as little as 2 1/2 days when used at the first sign. abreva starts to work immediately to block the virus and protect healthy cells. abreva acts on

richard engel. richard, iranian leaders previously said the president is not worthy of negotiations so what next, at least from the perspective of iran's supreme leader? >> so it seems unlikely that president trump is going to sit down with the supreme leader of iran, ayatollah al khamenei. the leadership structure is not like north korea where you can meet with kim jong-un or a u.s. president could. in iran, the supreme leader has a more symbolic role. yes, he does have the ultimate decision, does have the ultimate veto power, but the day-to-day running of affairs falls to members of his government, including the entire administration of iran, and president rouhani. so while the supreme leader says that he wouldn't meet with president trump, it does seem increasingly likely that we might have some sort of diplomatic resolution, despite what iran says they do want talks with the united states. they want the sanctions that the president has been putting on iran to be alleviated. i would say that is why they have doing all of this. in the middle east there is something of a chicken and egg situation. from the united states, it may look like iran started everything, and iran is causing these provocations out of nowhere. if you're sitting in iran, you look at the situation around you, and you see the u.s. has been imposing ever tightening sanctions, so much so that there are shortages of medicine in iran, and you feel that it was president trump who pulled out of the nuclear deal, increased the sanctions, and that at some stage, iran had to push back, but the reason iran is now pushing back, it seems, is that they do want to have some sort of negotiations, but i doubt it is with the supreme leader himself, but there are plenty of other people who could speak for him. >> so kelly f it's not going to be a one on one with the supreme leader, we obviously ask the question what does the white house see as the next step, and obviously the president has a big foreign trip coming up? >> he certainly does. so heading to osaka, japan, which will host the g20, and this kind of an international razor's edge moment is the kind of thing the president will be able to discuss with other world leaders. he plans to speak with vladimir putin and china's xi jinping and others, and this is the kind of setting where the president's conduct in the last 24 hours would certainly have been a part of the dialogue, had he chose to go forward with a strike, and now he can try to use especially european partners and remember japan's abe has had a relationship with iran that the president has tried to utilize to try to bring down some of the tensions. it appears, based on the president's comments today, that he has set a new standard for the moment, that iran's provocations have been about american property so far, and property longing to u.s. allies, and not an american personnel, and so does this mean the president's own threshold for taking a retaliatory strike of some kind would have to be the loss or harm to american lives. one might infer that based on the way he has outlined his thinking here, but he has dialed it back for the moment. the big question will be, will other world leaders view this as prudence by the president, or will he also face criticism for allowing iran to do something provocative without a decisive response? chris? >> kelly o'donnell and richard engel, thanks to both of you. let me bring former ambassador to morocco mark ginsburg, hagar shamali and former commandant of the u.s. war college major general robert scales. major general as somebody who has the rank among the four of us, let me start with you. what are your sources telling you about what transpired what was clearly a very dangerous situation over the last 24 hours? i mean, we did learn i think this is new in chuck todd's interview, the president says the planes weren't flying but they were awfully close and ships were in position. what happened here? >> that's a great question. i've queried my friends at the pentagon and the answer i got was that it went down pretty much like the president said. when he was briefed i guess it was yesterday, the final preparations for launch, the answer was, you know, these are the targets that will be struck, and so forth, but he never really asked the question about how many people would die, and then it popped in his head just pr

richard, have been in touch with this. one of ourviewers, richard, said have been in touch with this. one of our viewers, richard question about the use of facebook and how it is used, what is going on with our data. thank you for your comments, keep them coming and you can have a look at those online. beyond meat, that is the company that is listed on the financial markets not so long ago, it is at its highest price yet closing on wall street, really interesting. the shares rose 12% on monday alone. give us your take. they rest opposite on monday alone but since that initial offering, they have gone up by 600%. people who shorted the stock saying it was going to have flat on its face, out of the money. this is interesting because they make alternatives to meat was of this comes at a time when were talking more about emissions, we know that cattle for instance, farming, it can be quite inefficient creating methane gas. half of all the grain wheat has gone to feed cattle or animals and that's a very inefficient way of getting energy into humans. and this comes ata time energy into humans. and this comes at a time
