weiner just predicted his art here. if you got to the west side you will have to look very far to find cars on the sidewalk. people park on the sidewalk all the time in the sunset. the city does nothing about it. if that is a concern, let's start there with people illegally parking cars on the sidewalk and blocking any access on the sidewalks on a day-to-day basis. i'm actually here to speak in support of these changes to the scooter program. i normally come to you to speak in support of bike and transit. anything that gets people out of cars and gets cars off the road that gets people to support themselves in mutual ways. you ought to adopt them. i would like to think in particular, director brinkman asking about expanding the service areas to the entire city. i think that is necessary. what we see now with the conflicts of limiting a number of devices that operators are allowed and the requirements of certain neighborhoods we are seeing very contorted and twisted service areas. i don't think anyone can fit in their br

and in that very rare environment, the weiner laptop. where is the weiner laptop? and why don't we know what is on it? after all of this time. >> that is a good question.i certainly do not know where it is i have not seen any published reports or investigative reports. perhaps the inspector general as part of his review will tell us something about that. but that actually relates to the hillary clinton email scandal. because it was the weiner laptop that caused james comey, the great dirty cop of american history, to reopen the hillary investigation and then once again, conclude that there was no -- they took a dive on the laptop and -- lou: the u.s. attorney, last we heard, they had possession of it. last we heard, there was great friction between the fbi and the southern district of new york. and the reason by the way, i put in the environment of spy gate. precisely because that is what we are talking about. this is an environment and we cannot have that line demarcation. we still know so little after investigation. >>and guess what? if it had a bid -- we would h

state senator scott weiner proposed the change. >>> any city that will do outreach in the community. work with people in the community. but no more of this tying everything up and endless appeals and lawsuits. >> reporter: navigation sensors are a special type of facility. traditional homeless shelters often have rules the key people out. navigation sensors allow people to bring in their pets their stuff and their significant others. >>> navigation sensors no barrier. it is come as you are. entire encampment can come in together. >> reporter: there are six sensors in san francisco. the senator said going forward homeowners are not totally shut out of the process. that is because local officials that they elect will be making decisions about where to put the sensors. >>> cities are going to continue to work with the local community. they're not just going to drop something out of the sky. >>> one thing i want to tell you about this law. not a single person in either the state senate or assembly voted against it. it was fully bipartisan. senator weiner said that is because when it come

. >> herbert weiner? >> yes. >> herbert weiner, these are the qualities i would like to see. for one thing i think the new executive director should be a transportation professional. i think that goes without saying. these are some of the qualities i would like to see from my own personal perspective. i believe that the executive director should be able to take issue with his managers, for one thing. he should be able to clash with them, bite them and even dismiss them. this has not been the case, so far, and i think this has been one of the reasons why we are in the mess we are in right now. he should also take issue with this board. these clashes should be public. they should not be in private only. we should be able to witness these differences and provide some input. we have something to say about this. i think what has been the case as you have rammed through everything, these meetings have been a dog and pony show. and, we have to get all of the vehicles off of the sidewalk, except the wheelchairs for the disabled. also seniors on the disabled should be supported by the

next speaker, please. >> herbert weiner, followed by david. those are the last what were people who submitted speaker cards. >> i wish to submit the annual record award which was given to executive director at reiskin reiskin upon his resignation. this is for the board to review. the second thing i want to give up is the 27 line. what is happening on the 27 line right now is for the same amount of buses, but less stopped, so basically there is less service. this is a pattern. the removal of bus stops. basically the public loses. this is a policy of not fixing munimobile, it is called fixing the passenger. this is been a consistent pattern. there has been a net lack of service. the 27 is an example of it, like on taylor and o'farrell, a bus stop was removed that was a very long distance. this is not service. basically we have to stop this policy of fixing the passengers and let's fix munimobile instead thank you. >> thank you very much. >> this is just a general comment about the service. i know that julie is listening while she is doing a lot

on paul manafort, all the way through facilitatingm these contacts with christopher steele, john weiner, victoria newland, kathleen kavalec, three people that probably need to be deposed by congress now so we can find out what they were doing here but you have a state departmentd acting like an extralegal acting like an extralegal arm. that is very troubling. if your job is diplomacy -- >> sean: stay right there. sara, we are going to get back to you. but, first, to weigh in on more of this breaking news, he will have a big part to play in this and in the united stateo senate, south carolina senator lindsey graham. senator, i think we are beginning now the painting the pictures filling in with the corroboration, not that we needed it, we haven't been wrong here. we've been way out of the curvey thanks to the great reporting of people we have on the show tonight and many others that i mentioned. but these are questions now that your committee will be dealing with.'s get to the bottom of it. take this news and tell us how you would interpret it. >> this is the tip of the iceberg. i know p

>> kennedy: back to the information about hillary clinton's emails being on anthony weiner's laptop.f 2016 and they didn't act on that information. that was made plain to fbi leadership. so as far as that, peter strzok had a number of choices that he was able to make. he's also the odd human bridge between the end of the hillary clinton email server investigation and the beginning of the trump investigation before the mueller probe. he did make some bad choices and i think on some level he has to take responsibility for that. also, in terms of optics, he didn't do himself any favors by how he came off in his comportment. that is aside from some of the private conversations he had on a government-issued phone. he should've known better. he did make some bad choices, and at some point you have to take ownership of that. >> melissa: or leave the country and change her name. [laughter] >> kennedy: i don't think there's any money for him to be made. if james comey can go out to get a $7 million book deal and make speeches, it's not the same for peter strzok. >> lisa: any parting words as

state senator scott weiner released a statement today about israel's decision, he said "i support israel as a nation, and i have strong disagreements with representatives on israel, yet, they have every right, as americans and members of congress to travel to israel. the day people are banned from traveling based on political views is the day we moved toward fascism. trump ours is a strawmen that is unfit for public office. they need to go." stomach a 37-year-old man has been arrested after he tried to kidnap an 11-year-old girl as she was walking to school. it happened at about eight this morning on palm avenue. police said the suspect grabbed the girl and placed his hand over her mouth. a good samaritan saw what happened and confronted the man. the 37-year-old ran off, but was later arrested. >>> more questions tonight about san francisco's criminal justice system after a woman was attacked last weekend right outside of her condo complex. police arrested a suspect but a judge released him 72 hours later. mayor breed says the judge made a real mistake and as our crime reporter tells us,

. >> so you want weiners instead of money? okay. get them. >> save waste fats to make explosives.k for the official insignia in your meat dealers window. >> who doesn't want to save all your waste fat to bring mickey home from the front? i mean, seriously. it wasn't just patriotic but it was also educating american ons what they needed to do. how they needed to do it. everybody gets in on the action. almost, everybody. as with all things, there is going to be a little bit of innovative thinking on how to skirt the rationing system in america. there's a black market. some people will produce counterfeit coupons and try to get more than their fair share. other ways of skirting the system would be for people to sell cuts of meat that did not meet government standards for fat content. for those who were convicted of ration violations they were only asked to pay small fines. this did not become a major deterrent for the black market. overall, americans use of food throughout world war ii was a big help to our success and that of us helping our allies and eventually our enemies at the e

that really left them a mountain to climb so to their credit they did make some inroads and david weinerat ship and an unbeaten half century taking the path lead to 283 at the close. if england lose this match remember their hopes of regaining the ashes are over. we have seen a their hopes of regaining the ashes are over. we have seen a few miracles here at headingley over the yea rs miracles here at headingley over the years and think back to 19 81 when famously, they guided england to an unlikely victory and they need something similar now if they are to keep their hopes of regaining the ashes alive. meanwhile, india are facing west indies in antigua. indies resumed day two on 203 for 6 with ravi jadeja's 58 taking them to 297 all out. the windies top order have all made starts but failed to kick on. roston chase top scoring with 48. a short time ago the west indies 136—5 in their first innings. one game in the premier league on friday sees winless aston villa hosting unbeaten everton at villa park. the newly promoted side villa took the lead midway through the first half with wesley o

>> as long as ted weiner keeps pandering to antifa we're going to keep wasting his resources and we'regoing to keep coming out until he does something. >> so you heard there, they're going to keep coming out here, even if it means to waste resources which does not make the people who live here and pay taxes here happy. i'm here with other people who are standing up against this are they for the anti-facious. >> it is a political ideology, it's not an organization. it's not a group of people. it's a group of people that organize on their own, but there is no hierarchy or anything. >> there is no one leader? >> no, there is not really pa paramilitaries, either. >> this is a question that comes up over and over again, why wear masks, people see masks and think the person is out to do something violent. >> the main reason is to that when the proud boys see us they don't release our information and identify us. we don't want people coming to our houses and interfering with our personal lives. it's not because we want to mix it up with the police or whatever, it's just so we can protect ours

. >> herbert weiner, actually i am concerned about safety on the sidewalk. that is from all vehicles, except for electric wheelchairs which are certainly necessary for the disabled. i really want to see people protected. for that matter, these standards should be extended to bicyclists as well. they ride on the what -- sidewalk, they strike people. you know, we need to have the uniform policy from all vehicles on the sidewalk. they probably should noton

the international community feels it can simply watch as the so-called lungs of the burn down which weiner al-jazeera. northwest of brazil. speaking to day at a girl is director of incident institutional strategy and intelligence at alcoa device a public affairs firm he explains why president not only has changed his mind about accepting the 8. what changed his mind is that his position to reject some of these offer wasn't coordinated with other members of the brazilian government and of the brazilian state. the speaker of the house he expressed this morning that this is money that brazil needs because a few days ago president bush will not have said that there isn't enough money to more knitter and combat these fires at the amazon so although brazil is a very wealthy country the location of money is a very bureaucratic procedure and in this particular area there wasn't enough money so we had several. on coordinated responses about this help from france and from the g 7 which at the end of the day allowed president also not to make this commentary that didn't resonate well with other peers

a couple years ago supervisor weiner and i worked on a focused financial assistance program for landlordsth code enforcement issues and couldn't afford to do the work. it took forever to get it up and running. i would love to get a sense from the folks in the mayor's office of housing and community development who managed that and maybe some of the code enforcement groups involved with referrals, it would be good to revisit that. i always intended to try to expand that because there is such a need for helping around code enforcement and getting things done especially around seismic. it would be great to have an update to be able to see the path forward, if there is one, that we can move from here. thank you. >> thank you, ms. walker. commissioner lee, please. >> commissioner lee: i would like if this can be on the agenda or some way to review the complaint process and be the issuance of novs on problems that involve two or more properties. i am not saying that i am critical of anything. right now it seems like we need to find a way to get multiple properties together and resolving some of

i think when scott weiner and i were looking at forming this in the beginning, there was -- and a.d.u. was one of the things we wanted to reach two, but there is a lot happening now that could use some assistance, like seismic work, and there's a lot of mandatory programs in some of our older buildings that we might want to capture. if we could do outreach to the mayor's office of housing with managing this, i believe we could get them to come and present to us about it and see how effective it is and what we can do to strengthen it and expand it. that would be great. >> i can do that. i can follow up. maybe we can work with the person there to come in and give an update. >> that would be helpful. thank you. >> sure. the second no more budget -- the second report is our july, 2019 financial report. this is our report for the fiscal year 19-20. it is very preliminary. it is usually during -- during the first part of the fiscal year that we are still setting up contracts. even for the projections, we project what we -- we will be at budget, but that is probably not the case. there is so

environment to find out what their next strategy is, and as to whether we need to reach out to senator weiner, to see if we need to amend, or extend out the deadline. i will report back to you on those updates with the department of environment. the legacy business did receive a budget increase, primarily with the support of supervisor peskin and supervisor fewer. $500,000 were added back to the business assistance grant for fiscal year 19/20, so that will bring that particular grant backed up to $300 per fte. we were estimating, it added $1 million, there would be less funding for the business assistance grant, they added back enough to bring you up per fte. >> did not pass unanimously? >> i think that budget may have had its first reading, maybe it second reading. it is a line item. it has been added to the budget, and has not officially passed yet. it is in the budget to be passed. i made it very clear that if we were going to add this amount of money, and i do want to personally thank director of the office of economic and workforce development for their help and advocacy that we needed a
