no one has to like it, but in understanding it, it gives you a broader understanding of our own world today. the world war itself was our foundation for our modern world. it is not the complete solidification of it, but it is the foundation. world war ii was the solidification of our modern world, but world war i was our foundation. they made that cornerstone with the treaty of versailles. to what took place in world war ii and the end of world war ii established our modern world as we know it. world war i and world war ii are inextricably tied. they are truly the same conflict, and you cannot look at one without looking at the other . through doing reenactments and living histories, i can begin to understand the mindset of people that took place in those time tomes, and it helps me better do my job as an educator when i wind up talking with students. history at harrisburg community college, at the gettysburg campus. the great war was the single most destructive war that europe had seen since the 30 years war. that was during the 16th century. context,put that into it was just a disas

that's my understanding. supervisor tang represents a large handful of small property owners that have articulated their displeasure in the refill of costa hawkins and i'm trying to understand. otheother than i'm a small propy owners and i don't want the repeal, i don't understand the fear. >> supervisor kim. >> first, i just want to point that these property owners are not renting today, not the passage of proposition 10. second, what i would articulate is the fear is that the board of supervisors would go crazy and implement all this legislation that would only protect tenants and not landlords. that is conceivable. however, in my 18 years following this board of supervisors, i think given our vote count and the fact that we need housing on the market. i mean my guess would be this would pass legislation that is balancedment we're one of the more progressive cities in the state of california. so i would think that we would be on the cutting edge of any type of tenant protection ordinances beyond any other c

or reason so i just don't understand why because i understand as are smart people understand that this doesn't work and it's been proven that it doesn't work but it is still happening and it is an official. well you know action why it's very hard to give up habits of two hundred years old navigating hard or have is die hard exactly and for example the british french intervention in libya was a disaster right the result of the british french intervention in libya was a flood of migrants into europe and then it led to the rise of far right parties in europe it shows you the dangers of intervention the villages why it is actually very puzzling and i completely appreciate your question that these societies that have produced the best thinkers for so little have completely lost the art of to digit thinking and i can tell you one point in my make in my book that every time the united states intervenes an invasion of her country for example it intervention in iraq was a geopolitical gift to china to give china ten three years to keep growing while america was busy fighting a war and in that d

we trust you understand. i cannot express the rage that i and many of our friends felt a 20 days after the passing of his spouse that a landlord would send a letter such as this. in many ways, we have moved in a direction where a ruthless economy, which benefits the few, is taken over the common welfare of the greater community. i think there are a number of things we must do to protect landlords and i certainly understand that it is a two-way street. but i think the costa hawkins over reaches in terms how it is impacted so many of our constituents and friends. this is only one example of a letter that i saw a few days ago. i think that we have countless stories that display how difficult this state law and we have seen the ruthlessness of this law used to away from their communities from places of support and it's important that the state of california and this housing and affordable housing crisis take a strong stand to overturn costa hawkins this november so i hope that the board is able to support that we

i think you would understand. i think this board has taken a very strong position that we don't use local resources to racially target members of our own community without probable cause. now, again, with probable cause, and damali, as a district attorney, as a prosecutor, you know that. it is not a very hard thing to establish. it is one of the lowest standards that we expect our investigators and police officers to establish to investigate potential crime. of course if there is probable cause we should make sure we are keeping all of out citizens safe. i am a little disheartened because this is a big issue in our community. this is a question i've always asked at rules committee of applicants of the police commission. i hope to be able to work with you on that. i'm just going to ask this question because i understand a different m.o.u. could come before the police commission, could be one that you support. i'll ask the question differently. if the m.o.u. included using local resources to engage in surveillance b

and to understand the two all.and use beak about how that machine learning and i want to build on what other colleagues have said and how we improve that so what data set do you train to use ai? >> that's a great question. that is what we would expect to see if we trained the models that we have seen and also in other cases as well. but they help us to understand what to expect until they are released on production and how people use it and also what might be unexpected. so that is training. it's not a new field so there are best practices developed that we are learning as quickly as possible and more importantly to measure in terms of bias. >> do engineers have the ability or understand why the algorithm made certain decisions? >> that is a great question with another field of research encouraging engineers with a function to enable the other so that is a critical question to ask because we are offloading to the technologies with companies like ours who are uploading enforcement actions or even personally it tells

it's important that people understand and i think people do now, understand how hard it is to come forward. and i always say to men, they say why so hard? how about if you've been abused? you see "deliverance"? what about if you were the guy strapped to the tree? i'm deadly earnest. >> dr. biden, let's just say come january this fellow sitting next to you comes to you, crisscrossing the country, campaigning for people, anyone who heard him recently knows that he still has a fire in his belly. if he comes to him -- >> do you? >> saying sweetie, i think i want to be president of the united states again, you say why? >> joe, you would make a great president. but let's think about it. >> that sounded like an endorsement. here's the thing. you know you said you haven't made up your mind just yet. you sound like a man who wants to run. you sound like a guy who really wants to do it. do you want -- >> i desperately want to change the landscape and there's more than one way -- there's a lot of really talented people out there. corey booker, kamala harris, the former mayor of massachusetts. a lot o

you have to understand those things in development.when we went through testimony, when we hadasked, the fbi director, cia, nsa, dni, all sitting there. when we had the fbi huawei phone, raise your hands. nobody raise their hands. if you would from zte, nobody raised their hands. after testimony, m director of intelligencey, an incredible he wise man, said the question should have been, do you know what is inside your phone? that was the right question. have hit on a couple of the competitors. --have questions now i'm a partner. [laughter] we have two questions. the first one, your assessment of the risk of military confrontation with iran after the u.s. withdrawal from the nuclear deal, either conventional or through proxies. obviously the iranians are active in yemen, in syria, iraq, lebanon. second, in terms of funds freed up by the jcpoa, how much in your perspective has iran spent on social, economic needs, and how much on military and proxies? the first iey: can't answer. [laughter] >> ok. lt. gen ashley: i can only talk around a

i understand the desire of my colleagues to tear down this man at any cost. i do understand it. but let's at least be fair and look at the facts or the absence thereof. guilt by association is wrong. immaturity does not equal criminality. that judge kavanaugh drank in high school or college does not make him guilty of every terrible thing that he's recently been accused of. a lifetime of respect and equal treatment ought to mean something when assessing allegations that are flatly inconsistent with the course of a person's entire adult life. with those comments, judge, i'd just like to ask you a few questions. if i can, about how -- and if you can be short in your answers, it would help me get through a bunch of them, about how this process has unfolded. when did you first learn of dr. ford's allegations against you? >> it was a week ago sunday when "washington post" story. >> isn't that amazing. did the ranking member raise these allegations in your one-on-one meeting with her last month? >> she did not. >> did the ranking member raise them at your public hearing earlier this m

i understand why that's attractive. i also understand that one size is rarely fits all. and then that causes problems. in some places more than others. the combination of what they have proposed, and the contracts that we have, and we have talked about the payments specifically with the irrigation district, means that the impact on us is disproportionate. that the sacrifice being asked of the san francisco and its rate payers and its water consumers is disproportionate to what is being asked of the state as a whole. and i guess, the fact is, while there are people who can do exceptional jobs with conservation, i think that that our record as a city, and as a region, is pretty amazing. and it means that what you can do and stay within the tolerance band of people who live here, is more limited than it might be somewhere else. i believe, and i know, that the combination of the board's's proposal and our existing contracts can create severe harm we have had some discussion about that. i think the crux of the discussion is, does your past experience,, past history in water s

we have a good understanding. i'm confident our understanding will stick. reporter: you know have republican senators both inside the white house expressing concern on the near daily basis about the president's behavior in morality, his understanding of basic policy. how long can you as speaker legitimately pretend that you're unconcerned or unaware -- speaker ryan: i'm not -- what i concern myself about are the results of government. and the results of government are good results. the military is being rebuilt. people are going back to work. jobs are being increased. people's lives are being improved. we're going to put another great judge on the supreme court if things go as planned. these are good results for government. i know the president is very unconventional. i know his tweeting and unconventional tactics bother people. but the results of government are good results. and we're a different branch of government. our branch of government is in charge of making sure that we pass good laws that improve people's lives. guess what, we're passing good laws

is there not some way that people can -- i understand the algorithms, i understand you have to have checks and balances, but it should not take hours for something that is that egregious to be addressed. mr. dorsey: absolutely. that was unacceptable and we do not want to use our scale as a use here. -- we don't want to use our scale as an excuse. we do need to prioritize. we need to do two things. number one, we cannot place the burden on the victims. we need to build technology so we are not waiting for reports. we're actively looking for instances. while we do have reports of all -- while we do have reports, and while we are making those changes and building that technology, we need to do a better job at prioritizing, especially any sort of violent or threatening information. in this particular case, this was an image. we didn't provide the image filter to recognize what was going on in real time. we did take way too many hours to act. we are using that as a lesson in order to help improve our systems. >> i'm sure you have, but have you apologized to the mccain family? mr. dorsey: i have

i want to understand what that standard is. it's unclear to me.hat level of contamination, diversion rate, if you could explain that. >> i'm going to ask jack to explain that in his beautiful concise way. this is jack macy, department of environment. >> the ordinance calls for us to have guidelines on what the thresholds of contamination will be based on the ability to process and market material, and based on significant loss of recyclables and compostables. we way say x% of contamination for each stream, recyclables, trash. if they show that the contamination level is above that, then it's a failure and the audit would clearly document that what those contaminants are and what the percentages are. >> supervisor tang: ok. so i'm just wondering how this -- so is it a standard that remains the same? or does it fluctuate? can we give an example? like say there is exact or bin with, i don't know, 30% plastics that are recyclable and then 10% that were contaminated food items, you're saying -- i'm trying to understand from a regular everyday person li

so i understand the issue. but as a judge, my job as i saw it was to follow the second amendment opinion of the supreme court whether i agreed with it or disagreed. at the end of the opinion, i cited justice kennedy's quote which i read guiding light for the lower court judges and all judges. >> let me give you a couple other quotes because i'm going to change the subject. do you agree with justice o'connor that a woman's right to control her reproductive life impacts her ability to, quote, participate equally in the economic and social life of the nation, end quote? >> well, as a general proposition, i understand the importance of the precedent set forth in roe v. wade. so roe v. wade held and reaffirmed in planned parenthood versus casey that a woman has a constitutional right to obtain an abortion before viability subject to reasonable regulation by the state up to the point where that regulation constitutes an undue burden on the woman's right to obtain an abortion. and one of the reasons for that holding a

but let me make sure i understand and we understand the constraints and the ramifications of that. >> okay. thank you. mr. chairman, i yield back. >> gentleman yields back. we will now take a five-minute recess and reconvene in five minutes.

i understand the desire of my colleagues to tear down this man at any cost. i do understand it.ut let's at least be fair and look at the facts or the absence thereof. guilt by association is wrong. immaturity does not equal criminality. let judge kavanaugh drink in high school or college does not make him guilty of every terrible thing that he has recently been accused of. a lifetime of respect and equal treatment often means something when assessing allegations that are flatly inconsistent with the course of a person's entire adult life. those comments, judge, i would like to ask a few questions. if i can, and if you can be short on your answers, help me get through a bunch of them. about how this process has unfolded. when did you first learned of dr. ford's allegations against you? >> it was a week ago sunday when "the washington post" story. >> isn't that amazing? did the ranking member raise these allegations in your one-on-one meeting with her last month? >> she did not. >> did the ranking member racemic your public hearing? >> no. >> do the ranking member racemic the clos

understanding the unfairness and also understanding the unfairness and also understanding pegida andheir protectionist environment. if we open the world markets to agricultural traditions -- producers, they would own agricultural markets. i understand what they are doing that i was so surprised about how strong the support is from the agricultural community. i use the word patriots with the president. i think they are patriots. american producers, farmers, ranchers, forrester's -- they embody the american spirit of resilience that we see in a homogenous way. they get up and keep on going. it surprised me how informed they are about why we are doing this and what the endgame is. >> president donald trump: there will be a trick -- sonny perdue: they will be attrition. we will have to look at it and evaluate as we go along. i think that, right now, they are strong and they are holding strong. whocan always find critics are saying i have had enough but they fundamentally understand that they have been exposed to unfair trade practices and they want to see them rectified. >> congress is i

>> i understand the point of it, but i don't understand if he thinks it will change any minds here.body who thinks that trump is not a great guy looks at this as further evidence trump is not a great guy and the white house is in complete chaos. but people who support him say its anonymous, it's just more left-wing people trying to smear the president. howie: you might be right by the not changing minds, but it generated an enormous amount of media coverage. by attacking -- by attacking woodward, didn't donald trump give this book a tidal wave of publicity? cathy: to question woo woodwards one of the country's best investigative reporters. i have great sources within the white house and from the last three administration. i can't imagine his sources. i'm a little jealous. i can sure he can pick up the phone and talk to anybody there. howie: he also knocked on people's doors. you can criticize his background reporting techniques. but now that i am reading it. there is so much about what people thought and long scenes and meetings. not always criticizing donald trump. it shows he spen

if we understand what the fight is, we can fight back. that is all i've got to say. >> can i just say quickly, one of the things you want to know, what can we do in terms of what the community can do, is that we really have to challenge our church over what i describe as these types of terror. what i mean is that the church will use this notion of what i depict as a theological qualifier, love the sin, but hate the sinner. this is what the black church will do. we will discard all damaging scripture that talks about african-americans negatively. for example, i will just run through this. we love apostle paul, sometimes. paul said, slaves thought to be obedient to their slave masters. we ignore the curse of ham. yet, when it gets to sodom and gomorrah, we lose our righteous mind, because it is not there. that is not a clear text. there is stuff we can do. the backbone of the black church are black mothers. all mothers want their children to be safe. if we can get black mothers to say, don't say that. even if you believe that, don't say tha

you have to understand the domains, attack it. as it relates to the commercial services that we launch, we not only embed that within the core service, we build a set of capabilities around it that allows us now to even take that traffic off of any connected device and bond it and keep it off the public internet as we deliver it to its destination. so the nature of consuming -- special access to it speaks to something general wilson mentioned, one of the benefits when consume a service versus trying to build your own. when i say managing risk, this is an important element. everything i've described in this cellular networks and what we manage, we invest heavily in to ensure that we embed security within. when you're building your own, those are domains that you have to manage. they are very manageable, i agree with anthony as it relates to how you attack that. when you consume a service from a trusted player who's investing for that, you get the benefit, i think, of those types of cape anlt abilities. that's an important element -

i understand my colleagues want to tear dow this man at any cost. i understand it. let'steast be fair and look at the facts or absence there of. galt by association is wrong.im turity does not equal criminality. ort he drank in high scho college does not make him guilt why of every terrible thing that he's recently been accused of. lifetime respect ought to mean something in assessing allegations that are flatly inconsistent with the course of a person's entire adult life. with those comments, like the ask you a few questions, if i can, and if you can know short in your answers, would it help me get through a bunch of them. about howhis process has unfolded. when did you first learn of dr. ford's allegations against you?a >> i a week ago sunday when the "washington post" story. >> did the ranking member raise these aions in your meeting with her last month? >> she did not. >> did the ranking member raise them at your public hearing earlier this month?no >> >> did the ranging member raise them at the closed session that followed the public hearing? >> she was not the

i understand how deep people feel about this issue. i understand the importance of the issue. i understand the importance people attach to the roe v. wade decision, to the planned parenthood versus casey decision. i don't live in a bubble. i live in the real world. i understand the issue. >> my staff passed me a note. it is good. have your views about whether roe is settled precedent changed since you were in the bush white house? yes or no? >> well, i'll tell you what my views -- i'm not sure what it is referring to, the bush white house, but i will tell you what my view right now is. it is important precedent of the supreme court which has been reaffirmed many times. this is the point i want to make that i think is important. planned parenthood versus casey reaffirmed r roe, and did so by confirming the factors. casey becomes a precedent on precedent. it is not as if it is just a run of the mill case that was decided and never been reconsidered. casey specifically reconsidered it, applied the factors, and decided to reaffirm it. that makes casey a precedent on precedent. ano

i -- i understand, mr. brown, i wanted -- i -- so, we have 15 minutes remaining for the hearing, and i did want to give supervisors the opportunity to actually ask some of these questions that's come up. unfortunately, only 15 minutes, i will lose -- i have to adjourn the meeting after that. we did extend and i got them to stay additional hour and a half than we had slated for the hearing, thank my colleagues for staying for that. i just want to first of all start off by saying that yes, we will have staff come up. that this hearing was incredibly disturbing and deeply painful. and to hear that so many members of our -- of our city and county and our employees have similar stories to share, i just think speaks to a deeper trend and pattern here at the city and county than honestly i had even anticipated today. i do want to thank seiu 1021 for asking me to call this hearing in june, it's been a pleasure to work over the last two months. and for u just the beginning, and it was incredibly important to get all

but let me make sure i understand and we understand the constraints and the ramifications of that. >> okay. thank you. mr. chairman, i yield back. >> gentleman yields back. we will now take a five-minute recess and reconvene in five minutes. >> our guests will take their >> if our guests will take their seats and our members will resume the hearing now. and i recognize the gentleman from new jersey, mr. lance for four minutes for questions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. dorsey, i have three areas of questioning. number one, in the meghan mccain matter, in your opinion, would the photo had been taken down if those close to the victim, including her husband, had not complained to twitter? >> if it would have been taken down if they had not complained? >> correct. >> we would have taken it down because i imagine we would have received other reports. our system does work today based on reports for take-down. >> let me say that i think it is the unanimous view of the committee that five hours is intolerable and it was horribly violent and we are all opposed to this type of violence on tw

while we remain centrally focused on the military aspect, we understand to understand where those other influenstrumef power and influence. what's the venn diagram look like when our core function is to look at the military and understand the informational pieces of that. what are the elements involved in that? sometimes it's traditional military kinds of organizations or organizations like the gru which we follow, follow the spies in this case. so we have to kind of expand the appeture of things we look at. the trade craft is the same. there's about nine attributes of trade craft that analysts apply, irrespective of the problems. now, for us it's to understand that it's bigger than just the military piece of this monolithic military that goes out and exercises and you have to watch it. so you have to understand where those investments are made. what are the precursors to a ukraine, what are the precursors to a syria. how do you see those faint signals in traffic, whether it's diplomatic or informational, or just the movement of things on the ground, which gets into a bigger collection

ford. >> did you understand my question? >> you there is a number of different disclosures any candidate in san francisco has to file with the ethics commission. campaign statements and copies of the advertisement. they are cent sent out and fileh the ethics commission in the existing law. if i understand what mr. ford referred to some are electronic and some are paper. this looks at the same advertise men's. you at the current time they can't be electronically filed. i hope to get these move anything that direction, but it sounds like it is a matter of time and resources question and implementation question. >> city attorney, are there other you candidates that are required to disclose or file advertisements that are not mass mailings, to your knowledge? >> other third-parties are required to file things other than mass mailings including what we refer to as election communications, network communications and other third-party communications. what you mentioned robocall scripts, electronic ads, internet ads are filed with t

i asked what it is. >> i understand. i am not clear on the contours of what is in scope or out of scope for that project, but i can say that if we were close to launching a search project in china, myself and my team would be very actively engaged to ensure that it was going through the appropriate review process and that it was consistent with our privacy of values and our commitments we've made to our users. >> in your opinion, does china engage in censoring our citizens? >> as the privacy representative for google, i'm not sure that i've had -- i'm not sure that i have an informed opinion on that question. >> it's also been reported that more than 3,100 google employees sent a letter to google's ceo earlier this year protesting the company's work on project mavin, a pentagon pilot program aimed at speeding up the defense department's use of private technologies. likewise, 1,400 google employees signed a letter last month protesting google's plans to make a search engine for china. you've worked for google since 2011.

it's my understanding none of the dollars came from the dollars that are designated for both response and recovery operations within fema. >> representative, we've been talking or we're going to talk with our viewers about top issues facing 2018. what are your concerns about the november elections, particularly if the house stays in power? >> well, i think there are a number of things we have to address. i want to make sure that we are continuing our effort to rebuild the military. i think there are other elements, too, of what we need to be doing in relation to education and workforce, especially workforce development. one of the elements of our workforce right now is making sure we have an educational system that emphasizes career and technical education as much as it does the effort to send kids to college. those are critical elements also throughout many areas in virginia and for that matter across the united states, high-speed internet access is the key, i think those things are critical in making sure that congress gets things done to help states and localities along those lines

i'm a little confused, and i just want to make sure i understand this fully. so it says here that the spmf plans to contract with payers, including managed and straight medi-cal with the exact same contracts that cpmc currently holds. does the sutter pacific medical foundation actually accept the reimbursement rates of state medi-cal and will they accept the straight reimbursement rates that cpmc currently accepts for the same services? i just want to make sure i understand same contract really means the foundation for these services will actually accept the reimbursements are currently straight medi-cal reimbursements. >> thanks, dr. green. you're exactly correct. >> what was exactly right? >> next question. >> sutter will accept the same -- >> excuse me, dr. browner, could you speak a little louder. >> sutter will accept the same rates at cpmc accepted, assuming that the plans actually will provide them. as you know, contracts are two-way streets, so we can't dictate -- or spmf can't dictate to the plans that they would offer the same rates, but if they do,

understand how to correct. mr. wueshon: i understand that. if algorithms are there smart peep will find ways to subvert that and there are -- there's prome -- probably some proprietaryness there, you may have a competitor in the future you don't want your processes out there mr. dorsey: this is an area we do not want to compete on health we want to share whatever we find. mr. bucshon: i think many people have said, all of us, whether we know it or not have some inherent biases based on where we grew up, what you are background is what our life experiences are. i'm kind of -- i'm interested in to you recruit, you know, your. because i think, obviously the tech industry has had some criticism about its level of diversity but i think it would be important to get your feel for, if you're going to avoid groupthink and you're creating algorithms, how do you recruit? you're not going to ask somebody, are you pro trumpe or or against trump? but i would argue you want to have people from everywhere, different race, men,

i think people understand it. i am a big believer that the electorate gets it more than we think they think. and i think that they are getting it. that is my sense. i am out here among america and they feel that we are winning again. and obviously, that was a president trump promise and i think the tax relief -- the economic issues -- the job report has continued to grow and wage growth. it is at 2.9%. this is good news. american workers get this. that is what i sense among farmers and non-farmers as i him across america. helena: on the president's style, there are reports that he has made derogatory comments about southerners and accents. do you have a response to that? have you ever heard him make a comment like that? sonny: he brags every time about finding us a real farmer from georgia usda secretary. i have not heard that. i hear a lot of these kind of things, though whispers and all that, but i can tell you, personally, i have not experienced that. i have not heard anything tangentially. certainly, no deroga

understanding what consent is, understanding what is yes and what is know, understanding aojection, isoing to go long way for our next generation. and to understand your boundaries. and how to speak out when it is inappropriate. that is part of why we are excited to be here, excited for this conversation. it is also why, during our media expo award, we honored burke and why we are excited to have monica join our conference. to bring up these important conversations and voices that often unheard. >> thank you. back to you, and this will be for all of the panelists, and hopefully everyone in the audience, how do we collectively that we,ther to ensure one, prevent sexual harassment, but if it is happening in our workplaces, campuses, other areas of our lives, how do we start reporting it and creating that cultural change? emily, i know cultural change is huge. and i want the panelists to think about this question. it is from holding our institutions accountable. emily, you do a lot of work around cultural change, and i want to break down what that looks like in a large institution. paneli

> i understand the question then and the answer then and i understand the answer now and the question now to be 100% accurate. you were concerned about whether i was involved in the program that two other nominees had been involved in. and the report that senator feinstein produced, the justice department report, they showed that i wasn't. in other words, the program, crafting the program for the enhanced interrogation techniques for the detinees. >> judge kavanaugh, that's not the question. do you see me asking you whether you crafted the program? i didn't. i asked you about your involvement in the haynes -- then you went further -- >> asking -- >> then you went further. you violated the second rule to every witness. you answered more than i asked. >> i told the truth. >> you volunteered more information than i asked and you went further than you should have. in the three specific instances that i have given you, you clearly were involved in questions about rules governing detention of combatants. >> i understood the question and i understand it now and my answer about that program,

i think i'm pretty capable of understanding it on my own. >> but then everyone, to understand, my answer. so there's nominee precedent of how justices and nominees, in my position, have answered in the past. i'll be succinct, if i can. and all eight sitting justices -- >> you said this in the hearing so people who are listening and interested actually have heard you say this already. >> i think it's really important. >> say it again. >> i want to underscore it. all eight sitting justices of the supreme court have made clear that it would be inconsistent with judicial independence rooted in article iii to provide answers on cases or issues that could come before us. justice ginsburg, justice kagan, talking about precedent, no thumbs up or down. justice thoroughood marshall said what do you think about miranda? >> everyone else does it so your answer is no? >> it's a combination of my respect for precedent, nominee precedent and my respect for judicial independence. so i can't give assurances on a specific hypothetical. >> let me go on to another subject which is executive privilege. execu

institutions unless you understand where they came from. it would require a certain am of theory because there is theory as to how constitutional government is actually supposed to -- is supposed to work. i think actually in the current age i would add some oh stuff that wouldn't be in a traditional education class because, for example, turns out that a lot of -- a lot of students including very sophisticated ones do not know how to judge the authenticity authority of things they read on the internet and i think actually a civic skill that has become very important is developing that ability to distinguish between more or less credible sources of information. so you know this was not a program i thought through at any great length but those would be the the basic components of it. one of the points that you made was a necessary precondition to any kind of -- of development the cradle identity would be the reenvying ration of a liberal art tradition. why is that what and what would it look like? >> well, i think there's a lot that we've used

and i think understanding what consent is, understanding what is yes and what is no, understanding how you deal with rejection, understanding these components are going to go a long way for our next generation and when you get into the workplace to understand your boundaries. and how to speak out when it is inappropriate. and so that's, i think, part of why we're excited to be here, really excited for this conversation. and it's also why, you know, last year during our media excellence award we honored ta ran a that burke and so excited to have monica join our conference this past year the bring up these voices that are often unheard. >> right. so thank you. emily, back to you, and this is going to be for all the panelists. and i think, hopefully, to everyone here in the audience as you're thinking about your questions. so how do we collectively work together to insure that we, one, prevent sexual harassment, but if it's happening many our workplace, if it's happening in our campus, if it's happening in other areas of our lives, how do we start reporting it, and how do we start creatin

when we understand there's going to be atrition. i think it also has to start, supervisor safai, with officers that we currently have now. how are we building that model system now with some of the officers that we do have around this training with biasies? it's working with individuals that we have now, knowing that we're going to have some atrition, but also knowing that we're going to have 250, over the course of the next four years, coming on-line. >> supervisor safai: okay. great. i don't have any additional questions right now. we'll give miss taylor the opportunity to come up and be questioned. if we have additional questions, we'll have you come back up. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai: supervisor yee, do you have additional questions? >> supervisor yee: hi, miss taylor. >> good afternoon. i think it's still that. >> i'll just start off with my first general question, which is the role of the police commission in terms of how, you know, did you transform the police department? what is your role in trying to move things? an

and you can't understand slavery if you don't understand the plantation system. and you don't understand plantations unless you go to places like monticello. so i think what i would ask you to link to is not sally hummings, because you really can't understand sally hummings if you don't understand the economy in which the entire country was entangled. so i would say link to our plantation slavery section. >> we have five minutes left. who is your favorite other presidential family, presidential story that you don't study? what's out there, like, if it shows up on the history channel some night or you're flipping through a site that you say, yeah, that's the presidential family i want to spend some time with. >> i've been lucky. i started out with the adams and they're always fun and then i was with the madison family and the adams. yes, i actually would be very interested in michelle obseramao i would like to learn about that. >> i would like to learn about lincoln. >> and i would like to make a shoutout to the woman who wrote about the tyler family. you had a wo

so i'm trying to understand, i understand what you guys are saying. i'm trying to understand what you are saying in the context of what we are reading in terms of reorganization. i think some of the issues that senator harris raised could be if you said we will have a revised opm that looks at overall policy making, recruitment, does the studies, that it becomes the employment agency, and we will tell you, gsa, how we will manage this. i get that. why do you need to co-locate opm within gsa? >> this part of opm is the services part of it. it's only that part that we are talking about right now. in future budget years we are considering federal health benefits and retirement. other than that, the enforcement, policies still stay within this organization whether you call it opm or opm, inc. it has all of the responsibilities that congress has given them. >> if i can give an example of how we can add efficiency, within opm and hrs which is where you are contemplating bringing it. there is a group that does telework policy. we provide the space and can he

and not mentioned in their is a question of whether you understand the profit motive enough? there's also the person who publishes the book and there's also the book stores that sell the book so maybe there's four ways. maybe i just said one when i was talking about it but i do profit from writing the book and i profit from the book in several ways but people that read the book are also profiting from the book. and hopefully they are profiting at least as much as the price. i think they're going to profit a lot more but also involved is the publisher and i decided to write the book based on leveraging the profit motive of my publisher writing the book is a time sink. you're going to spend a lot of hours and i have three daughters that i love, i love spending time and playing with them and doing things with them, i have a wife that i get along with and she's my teammate and to write a book i had to take time away from them and take time away from my life and my business and in order to do that i made sure that a publisher picked up my book before i devoted my time to writing i

do you understand you've been accused of multiple crimes? >> i'm painfully aware for my family and me to read about s?is. >> and -- >> breathless reporting. >> of course, the sexual assault that dr. ford claims that you've denied, then the claims of ms. ramirez that not even "the new york times" would report because it couldn't corroborate it. and then stormy daniels' lawyer released a bombshell accusing you of gang rape. all of those are crimes, are they not? >> they are, and i'm never going to get my reputation back. it's -- my life is totally and permanently altered. .. crime in and of itself, correct. >> in order to vote against your nomination, you would have to conclude that you are serial liar and you have exposed yourself to legal jeopardy in a way in your interaction with this committee and the investigators. isn't that correct? two that's my understanding two you talked inis your interview with, about a fair process. some of my colleagues say the burden is not with the on the accuser because this is a job interview, the burden is o
