so sarah peters from our outreach team has been one of the team members working on the range of programs that we're doing to get kids to school. so with that, i will let sarah take it away and talk about safe routes to school. thanks, sarah. >> good evening, commissioners. my name is sarah peters outreach assistant for department of environment and some of this beginning stuff might sound like a broken record but it's just to give some contextual background and information on why we're talking about carpooling. so with that, i have your 80 updated slide here, 0-80-100 route. san francisco has goals of 0% waste, 80% trips, and 100% renewable energy. with that, a little bit deeper dive on that 80% of sustainable trips. so for that climate action goal as president bermejo already stated, sustainable trips are everything aside from pretty much a single occupancy trip so things like walking, biking, taking public transit or in our case for this presentation, carpooling. so one of the ways that sf environment does this outreach is through our safe routes to school partnership. as you can see h

sarah. after stocks initially traded higher, saw them peter out. it was pretty much a mirror opposite of what happened yesterday when we were speaking and had to do with tech, both yesterday as well as today. sarah: semiconductors were the worst performing industry group, down 1.9%. leading that packed lower was macron, right around 12: 10:00 p.m. new york time, we had a headline saying that a chinese court was temporarily banning macron chip sales. that would bar macron from the largest semiconductor industry in the world, oh macron it is a about 5.5%. thes take a look at philadelphia stock exchange semiconductor index. the yellow line right at the bottom is the 200 day moving average. we did punch through that today, but going forward, we will want to see that provide support if we do bounce off of that. forward, it wasn't just confined to semiconductors. we also saw weakness in facebook, new privacy and data sharing concerns there. so we really decide across the board with apple, microsoft, and google. suffered.ancials also , real these sectors e

sarah and rain. there he is. this is peter deutsch, congressman peter deutsch. congressman ted deutch, who i know well. [laughter] defense, this guy used to be tom petri and now he is tim petri. ted is the congressman for sarah and rain. we are going to hear their stories and now that you're here, i wish you would comment on it. what we are trying to talk about is activism. where does it come from? how do you do it effectively? we are adjusting the gun safety issue, but we are not debating the gun safety issue. we are discussing activism. as eleanor was saying before you got here, it was an --onishingly impresse impressive performance. performance is not fair. astonishingly impressive act from the heart of students and teachers who went through many absolutely horrific experience. not the first and not the last in our country. but the most recent horrific experience. i don't know which one of you wants to start? not just theabout incident and what you did, but let'su personally -- start with you chemotherapy or. you are the one who barricaded yourself in the room

peter, what a silly embarrassment. has there been any follow up with sarah sanders? she got on that podium, named the people who the president would like to revoke their security clearance and two of them, as you just mentioned, don't even have clearance. that is absolute sloppy stupid nonsense. has anyone been able to follow up with her on that silly mistake? >> well, we've reeached out in n effort to follow up with officials at the white house. no specific answer to those questions. but this is part of a pattern obviously. sometimes when states are made haphazardly, oftentimes in an effort to deliver what's on the president's mind at the moment, mistakes get made. we've witnessed that. it appears at least on this occasion we're seeing it one more time. >> repeated sloppiness. all right, peter, thank you. i want to bring my panel in. it's an excellent one. my dear friend and former colleague shannon pettypiece. elise jordan who worked in the george w. bush white house. shannon, what is the point of all of this? to me, it seems like a distraction. we need to remind o

>> you see sarah sanders getting asked to leave a restaurant. we see petere, they are going crazy, all this vitriol in this country, as the commander-in-chief, as the president of this great country, what can you do to bring us together? >> some of them do it for publicity. i hate to say it. some of them do it for publicity. the restaurant i thought it was terrible with sarah. >> it is all terrible. >> i think some of the things that are said are terrible. and you know, it's our people are so incredible -- do you know, there's probably never been a base in the history of politics in this country like my base. i hope the other side realizes that they better just take it easy. they better just take it easy because some of the language used, some of the words used, even some of the radical ideas i really think they are very bad for the country. i think they are actually very dangerous for the country. >> all the while you are creating economic growth and job opportunities. >> so if you look at black unemployment, the best in history. hispanic unemployment, the

peter doocy joins me live from the white house now where is sarah sanders is set to hold a press briefing within the hour. >> harris, let's start two days ago when the director of national intelligence said "he believes russian efforts to undermine american democracy are ongoing." how they might be ongoing or what they might be doing or unclear today. president trump just said this. >> is russia still targeting the u.s., mr. president ? >> lets go, we are finished her here. >> thank you very much, everybody. >> meanwhile, up the street on capitol hill there is a new push by a democratic senator to interview the translator who helped president trump in his meeting with vladimir putin. she does not by the administration's line that the meeting was productive aside from a comment at a press conference i had to be cleaned up. >> it's clear that there is no transcript, the russians seem to know what was said and what was agreed to and i think it's important for congress to know that as well. if the president will not share that with us, and the interpreter is the one in the room who may have s

and sarah sanders, other top administration officials like the dhs secretary who spoke with our colleague peteralexander moments ago, say that they are trying to counter those efforts, particularly through cybersecurity, although there hasn't been sort of a full briefing to the public on what specifically they plan to do to make sure that it doesn't happen again in 2018. and i can tell you, andrea, that in terms of the political strategy here, they are hoping to turn the page on the whole discussion. we know that the president today is having his meetings, preplanned meetings with his secretary of state, secretary of defense, and then he's going to be holding an event focused on jobs initiatives. so they want to put the focus on the economy even though the questions are mounting, andrea, about what specifically they plan to do to make sure this doesn't happen again in 2018. >> kristen, very quickly, after helsinki, there wasn't an intelligence briefing on the president's public schedule for the first couple of days. did he have one on his schedule today? >> reporter: he does have an intelligenc

peter, what are we learn about the next trump-putin sit down? >> reporter: it might be in russia. white house press secretary sarah sanders said this today. president trump looking forward to have a summit with president putin in russia. the president has delayed the putin sit down here in d.c. until the conclusion of the mueller probe. which they believe is the beginning of next year. putin invited him to moscow. we wait and see if a formal invitation comes if the president could rsvp to. >> we'll see what happens. thank you. >>> for more on that the former d.o.j. prosecutor. let's get back to this issue where michael cohen is possibly doing. you're a former prosecutor, you have lots of experience. what do you think the strategy is here? >> i don't know what the strategy is for cohen and his releasing of this information. it doesn't make him look better. just kind of stepping back for a second. the daily barrages from cohen makes you behalf all lawyers of america, thanks mr. cohen. he says he's going to take a bullet. he's got obvious loyalty problems. he's complicating wiretap law. just an amazing scenario of unprofessional behavior and

which i think is the best option and testifies with peter strzok, or friday, and, it would be behind closed doors. >> sean: let's go to the point that sarah is making here. i would no sooner defy a congressional subpoena. it wouldn't work out well for me or for anyone watching this program. it wouldn't work out well if subpoenaed emails were deleted and bleach fit and devices beat up with hammers and sim cards removed. why -- how are they getting away with it? and congress, what are they going to do? they will have no power if they don't enforce this contempt. >> if you and i did this we would be doing push-ups in the hooscow because there would be a bench warrant for our arrest and then a show cause hearing. but this is washington, d.c. and congress has no power to enforce a contempt citation or subpoena they have to go to a federal judge. it's a different set of operating procedures there. she's claiming she needs to review documents but that's not a valid legal excuse for defying a subpoena. i used to issue subpoenas all the time before witnesses had a chance to look at documents because i wanted them to tell the truth and not be influ

thank you very much for your time today, peter williams, lecturer liverpooljohns university. 0ur correspondent sarah back to these initial reports this morning, detectives had identified perpetrators in the skripal poisoning case. what can you tell is about that. these reports from the press association news agency. the police have not confirmed until asked, but this is what they are saying. they're saying their sources have told them that they have pieced together cctv from the original poisoning back in march, when surrogate skripal and his daughter yulia were poisoned. they say they have cross checked with people coming in and out of the uk at that time, and investigators have identified several suspects, and they are sure that they are russian. so just to they are sure that they are russian. sojust to remind ourselves, there have been for people so far who have come into contact with novichok. sergei and yulia skripal last month, and then charlie rowley and dawn stu rg ess, and then charlie rowley and dawn stu rgess, a and then charlie rowley and dawn sturgess, a mother who tragically died asa s

sarah sanders do anything to tamp it done? i'm charles payne in for neil cavuto. this is "your world." howie kurtz here in a moment but first, peter doocy in the thick of it. peter? >> for several hours between the end of the cabinet meeting that the president hosted today and the beginning of the press briefing, there was a little confusion about whether or not something the president said sat the cabinet meting contradicted that something his intelligence officials said, that the threat from russia is on going. >> is russia still targeting the u.s., mr. president? >> thank you very much. >> as it turns out, according to sarah sanders, that no was addressing something else. >> we certainly believe that we are taking steps to make sure that they can't do it again unlike previous administrations. this president is actually taking bold action and reform to make sure it doesn't happen again. but he does believe that they would target certainly u.s. elections again. >> sarah sanders also said to the president's no that she had a chance to talk to him and what he was trying to say, the point he was asked, if russia is targeting the uni

. >> peter alexander, do you know anything about this rosenstein visit to the white house? >> i can only tell you what we've now heard from sarah sanders which is that rod rosenstein who is overseeing the mueller investigation was as you can see in our video here at the white house, we are told by sarah sanders that he was here for routine meetings, that he did not meet with the president while he was here. i can say with certainty that he didn't meet with the president because the president didn't even arrive in the west wing until after noon. we know that because there's a marine guard that stands outside the west wing when the president is there. he didn't get there until after rosenstein departed. >> joining me is congressman carlos ka bello. sorry to keep you waiting there but we were not expecting this to happen. i am concerned that there have been some on your side of the aisle who have been hesitant to be critical of what the president did yesterday and that this small correction that is a little bit hard to believe gives people comfort to move on from the fact that the president embraced an adversary in hill sinky yest

minutes from now a cabinet meeting kicks off and at 2:00 sarah sanders takes reporters' questions in the briefing room. >> bill: thank you, peterve something in common with his predecessor when it comes to vladimir putin both coming under fire for trying to turn over a new leaf with russia. from the obama era reset button to the current controversy my next guest writing an op-ed in the "washington post" called trump isn't the first president to embarrass himself by cozying up to putin. marc thiessen joins us now. what did you write in that piece, marc? >> president trump is not the first president who has the delusion he could get along with vladimir putin. my old boss george w. bush promised to end the rivalry of the cold war and at his first summit said i looked into putin's eyes and got a sense of his soul. barack obama did something far worse. when barack obama came into office in order to appease vladimir putin he canceled a missile defense deal with poland and the czech republic. they took a big risk signing up with the united states and he threw them under the bus on the 70th anniversary of the soviet invasion of poland.

sarah: the trump administration has said talks have broken down. there were high-level talks led by steven mnuchin and wilbur ross in may and june. at talks have peteredut this point because trump actually went ahead and put the first round of tariffs on $34 billion of chinese goods just recently. i think that -- china said if you go with tariffs, we are out and won't go with the talks very it has driven a wage between the between the wedge two sides. it was difficult, but with tariffs in place and escalation and the u.s. reiterating that unless china makes deep structural and painful changes to the way it runs its state driven economy and gearing it toward a market economy fast is the bottom line for the u.s. china is not going to do that. it would be hard to do that on a quick timeline. it is hard to see where the endgame is. what are some of those other mother -- measures that china can focus on if the import-export tariff story is not one theoretically where they ave the upper hand? more extremere measures because there is more control over chinese consumers. they could organize a boycott of american products. we have seen this happen with agricul
