we're talking about waivers, that may work with the planning department. the fire department cannot waive fire code requirements. it's basically straight law. we cannot be less restrictive than state law, so i'd like to put that out there. the other thing i'd like to mention as i begin, and i'll be brief, we're all for additional housing, but at some point, when we get started with, it's worth taking a pause to remind ourselves why we have building and fire codes. i know we all know this, but it's worth mentioning. it's because over the centuries, we've had loss of life and property. we all know that's how that's evolved. it's just worth reminding ourselves that as we move forward. we're all for additional housing. we want that, but we want safe housing. i'd like to briefly talk about scope and jurisdiction. so as with you e all know, the on a three year cycle. the government adopts standards from the international building and fire code. it becomes the california building and fire code. the local jurisdiction from the fire department's perspective asks to

everybody working together, you got the waiver. you are getting what you want. >> of course we have been able to work with them, it is not a holistic approach. there are specific one-off we are able to get that are helpful, but it is not the whole process. it is just pieces of the solution. we need the whole solution. think to think -- >> i follow up, it is fair to say what they did in alaska is a model for a lot of us. the reinsurance work, you had to go through all of those different silos. how much work did it take? that should be the natural inclination, that we get the silos broken down so when you see something like reinsurance, we are going to follow alaska, we governors left to steal from each other. we are going to follow their lead and try to do it the same way. right now, there is not that muscle tone. we are not used to working outside of our silos. governor kasich was talking about, there is not that sense that we are all in it together. we need to get that. >> there is one other thing. let me design a medicaid program

through the visa waiver program -- remember, 20 million a year. we allow them to buy guns, even assault weapons, even if they're on the f.b.i. terrorist watch list. when it comes to security, that's an obvious loophole that needs to be closed. with the president failing to lead, the responsibility to fix the daca crisis falls on our shoulders here in congress. i see my colleague from texas, senator cornyn. he and i have talked extensively about this. i still hold out hope that we may be able to find some way to resolve this in a bipartisan fashion. we have to do it because to date congress, the senate and the house, have done nothing. three weeks ago a bipartisan group of senate republicans and democrats finally persuaded senator mcconnell, the republican leader, to commit to addressing daca. i salute him for doing that. he made a statement on the floor twice unequivocally that we would bring this measure up if we hadn't reached an agreement by this friday. and that we would consider starting with what he called a level playing field, amendments o

as i understand it is not a waiver. idaho say we're going to do this we're going to do this because we're a state that wants to do it but there is a federal law, something i fought very hard for. it was right in the bipartisan proposal. center peas, seven democrats, seven republicans. airtight protection, airtight protection for those that would have preexisting condition. now what this is going to be all about, and, as, when we talked in the office, you're not sitting around reading paper backs in your job. this will be a question whether the department will say federal law, which protects people from discrimination against preexisting conditions controls or idaho can start something that just moves america back towards yesterdayter year where we can have insurers beat the stuffing out of people with a preexisting conditions. so let's do, this is new for you. i'd like you to get back to me, let us say within 10 days, with respect to how the department is going to pursue this. because i think that this case is really be

or do a different waiver for san francisco. there are a lot of different possibilities, but really, this is to -- to elevate the conversation here and we're very hopeful that it'll happen. >> other states have put in place more robust residential care waivers than we have in california. they probably don't face the kind of housing and infrastructure costs that we face in san francisco, so you know, there's a lot of work that needs to be done on developing this level of care. >> commissioner lang? >> commissioner lang: i actually like this notion a lot, and i have a question. there's something we can do as a commission in terms of advocating and pushing this before the mayor to have something like this included? can we sort of put together an advocacy plan in relationship to these new dollars? can we help? >> will with, thank you. the first step would be approving the budget submission. >> yeah. >> we're going to get there, too. we're going to get there, too. >> i think that's the biggest part is really just approving it and say

well, that makes absolutely no sense, and we are asking for a waiver from the stanford act.ing for a waiver of the jones act which forces us to have anything that comes into puerto rico to come with ships that have an american flag in them. that is to say, if great britain, for example, were want to help puerto rico with electrical light bulbs, you would have to decide whether you ship them to the u.s. and then someone in the u.s. brings them over here or once we come here you cannot take the same ship into the united states. so that is really financial exploitation and financial domination, and he is right, marco rubio, what he doesn't want to say is that being a territory is being a pol me and the time to be silent has long passed and we need to make alliances with people around the world and also with lawmakers in the united states that do understand. >> right. >> that we are human and if you cannot meet the legal imperative, lead the moral imperative. >> mayor cruz, your voice has been loud and clear tonight. thank you so much for joining us from san juan. two sobering c
