williams >> good evening steve williams i understand i have to items to speak to first opposing the request for the rehearing by the project sponsor and in favor of the hearing by about the appellant let me start by opposing. >> no, he of those 6 minutes. >> 3 and 3 as i understand. okay. we're opposing the project sponsors hearing they haven't provided many new evidence they're trying to through a lot of new items out there now we object to the inspections none of those are attached to the briefs and they shouldn't be reviewed by the board under the boards rule. have ironic with the gentleman saying the reilly's realize have been violated when they show up with the nun of the documents that have been seen by the appellants or neighbors. i'll start they've failed utterly to meet with the boards crystal clear evidence or any evidence of hardship or manifesting evidence the briefing there's no single exhibit attached and no urban sported claims of hardship and feasibility etc. none of those have been substantiated and the unit count is being manipulated period. i did attach exhibits and evide

. >> i'm steve williams. i received a call from a nearby homeowner a couple hours who asked me to come down. these are significant trees. the postingings are vague. they don't say these two trees are going to go so the neighbors assume that only those trees actually wrapped are the ones going to be cut. and the statute specifies that the tree itself has to be posted. it saying shall. that is in addition. 30 days prior to removal the department shall post a notice on the a tree. they may have a different policy when it's hard to get to some of the trees, but it leaves no doubt. the postings are vague. they don't say these two trees specifically will be cut. there's no /prepblgs or harm to the developers here. they're ahead of these things. they don't have a single approval yet. when we met with them a couple weeks ago they said they're not going to break ground for more than a year, so it doesn't make any sense for a permit to be out there to cut these trees down. further, where the trees are right now is in t

so it's outstanding people like julie of cal pumping and chris williams and steve from bio mad and a recover supplier and many other small businesses making an impact. we're connected because the sf spc a showed us all the transportation agencies in california they weren't going to stand for large contractors submitting bids that didn't meet the dbi requirement. they understand as the employers our employees of small 12k57b8gd biz businesses are paying their mortgages and paying our taxes that's helping the foul of the infrastructure bay area. through this action the commissions they're much more than talking the talk but walking the walk and for this i commend you (clapping) they're about encourage and commitment like us the small businesses. and as well as golden gate bridge contractor. i would liquor to highlight one more important connection why i'm stand here that's the connection i've formed with a remarkable popcorn bryan who works with the bridge we participated in the mentor program that the bay area introduced. through this promising program i become the apprentice and for

steve hayes, juan williams, and charles krauthammer. all right, gentlemen, busy day at the court today. a very splintered opinion but what it came down to 6-2. we what do you want make of the opinion? >> it did not get into as much of the specifics of the policy debate over affirmative action so much as it did -- it helped decide who should be in a position to help make these decisions, and basically it said voters in a particular state, if then to, should have a say on these things, and i think justice scalia made that argument quite forcefully as he often does. it has interesting legal repercussions in the short term but i don't think it solves the problem. i think it's going to be a battle in the court certainly for a long time. the politics i think are also very interesting. if you look back at what the original proposition of the initial michigan civil rights said. it's really not a controversial statement drawn from the 1964 civil rights act. it says in relevant part, the state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential

steve hayes, juan williams and charles krauthammer. charles, you are a baseball guy. singles, doubles, no errors? >> there have been a rot of -- a lot of errors and i don't think he would really want to characterize anything had in his foreign policy as a great success. it looks rather ridiculous. he seems to think and he creates this straw man that the only alternative to the policy of total weakness he's been showing in ukraine is to land troops somewhere in ukraine. there is nobody advocating that. i think he all has to do is say the world iraq and he's made an argument. and then he said do we think arms in ukraine are not going to deter anybody. instead he's fact these sanctions are going to have anesque. the stock market in moscow went up 2% and the ruble went up 2 -- 1%. that's how the markets who don't have a political axe to grind have evaluated the utter uselessness of the sanctions he imposed today. if he wants an example of how weapons have influenced russian encroachment, when the turks and greeks were losing the gorilla wars, what truman did, he supplied

williams is the president of the taxpayer alliance. that is the famous ad that had the chinese chuckling at our expense that they're on the verge of eating our economic lunch. steve, what do we make of this. it is an unusual number. >> the severe weather patterns we had in the northeast and midwest but even if you account for that it's a lousy number t. problem is we have been stuck now for five years in this 2% or less growth path and that just isn't enough to put americans back to work or to allow them to get a pay raise and this is the reason, you know, if you look at the latest fox news poll, half of americans think we're still in a recession and that's because for half of americans we still are in a recession. >> it's only a matter of time, david, before -- even though the chinese has five or six years ago we're growing at half our clip and we're less than half our economic might have made up so much ground in so little time. if you're growing at a double digit clip as we're barely growing at all, it figures but it does humble you because very few economic powers that lose that gold ever get it back. >> well, absolutely. there's really two things to blame he

williams, fox news contributor. good morning to you, juan. >> good morning, steve. >> all right., and yet his group winds up with tax-exempt¿ status from the i.r.s. you got a problem with that? >> i think it's crazy. i don't understand. if they had been melamine activists for some -- if they had been political activists for some time. brock is really out now. he's written a book, out there that's pretty much trumpeting hillary clinton for president. i don't think there is any question when he says he's a democratic activist. on the other hand, you hear about conservative groups who go after some presidential candidates on the democratic side, they lose their tax-exempt status from the i.r.s. i can't say that brock isç going after republican candidates per se, but i know he goes after me, fox news, you, everybody around here with a clear political agenda. so how does that qualify for tax-exempt status? >> it doesn't. you know, a couple of years ago for awhile here on this program we talked about how could they possibly wind up with tax-exempt status when they're so political? if
