i'm here to support steven lee's -- or commissioner lee's reappointment. i believe he's the most qualified person for this commission, not because of just his ties to the night life and hospitality committee, but also, i've known steven lee about 15 years, and what i admire the most about him is his ties and his reach to different generations. again, i'm a 15 year veteran, started from -- as a promotor, and i can see that the people like i started today, steven lee can reach out to them and represent them in the entertainment commission. so it's great to have someone like him that understands different generations. thank you. >> clerk: next speaker. >> hello, esteemed commissioners. i'm here to support mr. lee. i happened to meet mr. lee back in 1999 when i was an investor in a nightclub, and he happened to introduce me to who is now my wife when i met him, and we are still together, this young lady and i. mr. lee is a pillar in the night life industry. he also knows how to run a club and how to help people make it in this -- in this city of san francisco,

and what you discover is over to the right, there is that he is thaddeus stevens, not to be confused with tommy lee jones. you can see him departing separately. that is because anybody looking at the cartoon would know thaddeus stevens died three months after the end of the trial, in the august of 1868, so this cartoon must have been done after the trial was over. it must have been done many months after the trial was over , and that makes it even more of a mystery out there that simply doesn't seem to make sense. i mean, why do a cartoon about johnson's distraction when you that that istime not the case out there? johnson escaped conviction by a single vote. what was going on? has somebody been messing with the time space continuum? was johnson actually convicted, and then in some sequel to back to the future, marty mcfly races back to bring that one senator around? has the cartoonist engaged in alternate facts? well, there actually is a simple enough explanation, a better explanation, than any of those. the fact of the matter is the reality is something very different, that in fact what was happe

steven kull before i was just talking a reasonable debate you should be. talking about into the historic going on at the time however what we've seen by lee is he loses the human because he starts to cope. i'm actually not going to judge a concert you are going so well it was going on and ok. ok i guess we have to end it there we've been speaking to a veteran racial equality campaigner. a member of the english democratic party stephen morris thank you both for a spirited debate and i need to apologize to any of our viewers if you are offended by any of the comments in the debate thought is our news for now. ok let's just try and fit in perhaps one more story before we go to break a german football star of turkish descent has a ninety's retiring from the national team saying he feels unwanted in his own country that's after months of severe criticism initially triggered by one photo and ending in the player calling the german football association racist disrespectful. here if you chantelle a national anthem cools add on he's president and lets himself before to graft in front of pictures of muslim conquerors someone that is not german and someone who does that

lee for us. thanks so much. now over to george. >> and now a closer look with steven erlanger. steven the cheep diplomatic correspondent for the "new york times." good to have you on the show with us, steven. let's begin with this latest tweet from the u.s. president in bold letters to the president of iran. the context here surely important. we just heard a moment ago as ian explained this, but it's all part of a territorial war of words with iran's president over the strait of hormuz, which is a very important waterway that iran has threatened to shut down in recent days if provoked. >> well, that's right, george. and don't forget in 1967 when egypt shut the straits of hormuz it created a war. the israeli arab war of '67. this is very important. a good part of the world's oil comes through the strait of hormuz. what we have here is all caps, it's true. but i think that president trump doing two things. one, he's trying to change the topic. he's trying to change the subject away from his disastrous summit in helsinki with vladimir putin. and the chance that his lawyer michael
