in 2007 we did i think that we could do it, but we did it. we employed the squad. back to the question of are we satisfied with some of the readiness levels of our new aircraft? we are not. we are satisfied with the capability and we are working back capability hard. sometimes you don't know, but i can tell you the new air craft are very capable. the statistics will tell you with any new aircraft you can only test for so long before you have to feel it. once you feel that, we have $155,000. we are still learning things about that aircraft. they are temperatures you could not replicate in the middle east or in the deserts of california or in a operating environment on a ship. i am happy to say the program managers are knocking these things off as we go along. >> we had the first combat mission last week. >> so i hear from the press. >> we also had the first landing on queen elizabeth and we are very proud of that partnership. >> i know you asked the question, let me tell you the trends that we are seeing are exactly the same. the efforts that he is working on are th

we wanted to make sure we articulated the whole person, we know as individuals we aren't one particular disease state, we are a person with life and families and health care issues etc.. you will see that word throughout our document. the other word you will see pretty consistently is really supportive programs. we are in a situation where we know that just giving information to our members is not going to create the actions that we would like, so we need to provide supportive programs and services to guide the experience for those members. the mission statement here is the same as it was in the last strategic plan, so no changes there and we have outlined key core values. and letitia will come up in a few to outline some stakeholder feedback. so i will stop there and see if the board has any questions on this page. >> i'm struggling with the vision statement a little bit and the mission statement. and they might be more editorial than anything else. but in the mission, when we say we want dedicated improving quality health benefits and enhancing the well-being, i would like to insert t

we are at 195 now and we are at 223 prior to the drought. we see it going up. we also have to take into consideration every new development that comes into play and having an adequate supply developments come online. >> i don't want to litigate this matter here. the resolution is a resolution. i'm glad we came to an agreement on the language and i'm not to truncate this. but if you want to have an apples to apples comparison, you should really show that scenario at 195 million gallons per day. not at 265 which presumes like a another 20 years of bay area growth. just fyi, supervisors. >> is there a reason why we are using 195? i mean, 265. >> we actually have those scenarios and we can supply those to you. we have 14175, 223 and it shows us running out of water in year five with a 40% unimpaired flow. i would be glad to supply those to the supervisors seem on part of this longest -- longer conversation is the whole notion of alternative supplies and innovation and whether its use of recycled water, purple pike, a million things that other cities are doing that

we have fewer kids in our school 20t we had -- then we did years ago.aving the courage to think outside the box is part of the answer. i keep hearing you talk about this downturn in school population and that we need to bring people to vermont, but we need somebody with a long-term ambition to get them here. we saw the same thing in the 1930's. we absolutely have to connect every home and business. i talked to realtors. they said the house will not sell if it is not connected. now to an initiative that affects everybody who drives in the state. it is harder than ever for vehicles to pass. every attempt.of easier for make it low income people to get their cars inspected? most used cars always seem to have something not pass. you each have 60 seconds. i am probably the only governor in the u.s. it has there mechanics license. vermont roads are tough. our climate is tough. our terrain is tough. there is a cost for those vehicles and they fall into this repair. we did not change inspection laws. it did become more critical. putting ite done is all together

we have what we really think we need. third is training. if we're preparing for the high end fight, we need to be able to provide time and places for our airmen to train in realistic situations. that means ranges, but it also means what we call virtual and constructive training. sometimes now you can do more in simulation than you can do actually up in the air. that training has to be relevant and realistic and mr. chairman, you're right, jay park as well as our nellis testing training range are two of our premier training sites. the fourth thing we have to do is -- with have a fleet with high operating service and tempo. i think this is going to take the most intense focus on recovery of readiness, and that's how are we going to make sure that our aircraft are ready to go and ready to fight tonight. the final thing i would mention on things that we're doing and things that you funded and helped where we were depleting our munitions stockpiles in the fight against isis faster than we could replace them. so we are doing th

if we don't have it, we back each other up and we get plenty of courage then. >> three of us, we aretill on the committee of the dnc. we still care about the roles. you got to know the rules in order to know how to break the rules. [laughter] they got to come past us. we are going to win every fight. we are at the table when we are talking about equal representation. and diversity and how the delegates are selected. so they know it's three of us, there's more of us but we are firewalls. we will look at you. [laughter] arizona said -- about your delegation, california said -- go back. [laughter] i mean, you have to and by the way, the fact that we call ourselves the color girls, means that we, everything in the rainbow, we represent, we never will waiver. on the know, i feel like leah is talking about honing our strengths and being for the community or making choices that will affect or impact our community, our obligation to our community. in these roles, in particular, is heightened. is it not? >> yeah. >> does it feel to them some? >> and. [laughter] sometimes we are tired. but we

how we got to the configuration that we did. there was various types relative to the disability community and seniors. i don't remember how we did it. we can include that in the report back. >> vice chair m. heinicke: i don't mean to suggest that, you know, comfort is the only factor. obviously how many people we can get on the trains influences but just an overall reaction to something new and has significant impact on the riders before we finish the run of trains. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you. any others? seeing none. >> clerk: item 7, director's report. >> thank you, madam chair, members of the board, director eakin, welcome. as the chair said, we will do a recognition first and i'll return back later. i would like to ask director of sustainable streets tom mcguire to come back and recognize one of his outstanding and retiring employees. >> tom mcguire, director of sustainable streets here to ask you to recognize frank markowitz. he began in 1983 as transportation planner in maryland and we were lucky enough to lure him to

we before we signed we knew it was an operation project not >> t project. that means planning the installation and training to make sure the user understands how to do the daily work. not so much navigating through an electronic record system. they're primarily service lines end to end the continuum of that particular service whether there's an emergency room service or patient environment. on the right side you can see they're relate to revenue cycle service lines where there's medical record, billing and chart or patient and scheduling registration. those are current domain groups. there are certain pieces because we have to have adequate input from the business. this give you a sense of the governance of how we are managing, planning, monitoring and tracking it. i'll start on the top and i'll walk you through the bottom. then i'll wrap around how ocm and leaders and star are part of the governance. at the top is the executive team. a handful of people including craig, wagner, roland pickins, allison chan and winona and myself around obviously our vendor

we had to be -- we knew that we were starting to get near the end of our large reserve problem and we were becoming fully utilized. >> when you found out or you were told in march that there may be an issue, did you stop giving out vouchers? >> well, we were also in regular consultation with hud. we do meet with them monthly. we did talk with the field office about this. we were all looking at this two-year tool that was giving us erratic predictions. h.u.d. actually said that they thought we could continue issuing 25 vouchers a month for the moving on initiative. i was between march and august where we were talking with them about that. had wanted us to be fully you develop -- for do you devised so we could -- fully you develop fully utilized. we were -- it is very obvious to us that if we miscalculate by a few percentage points of how much we will spend, we can end up with a large shortfall. h.u.d. does have funding, a limited amount of funding for shortfall situations. it is true that nine out of the 11 bay area housing authorities are in shortfall. they are regularly in shortfall

we need to think about where we begin our stories. aen mark says gambling has long history and we do not think it was some car -- some kind of moral weakness, we need to reframe our stories in the same way that these laws have reframed who counts as a stakeholder. ?ho counts as an american what standing do they have? do they have the privileges of citizenship or the right to hold a stake in a public discussion? from my point of view, the question about populism is, who are the people who are popularizing? which people are embracing a notion of populism? the 19tht was in century, it was a nostalgic movement that seeks to restore an order where there are fewer stakeholders. i am going out on a limb with that. that is my story and i am sticking to it. right there, please. >> thank you. do we not just have to have a bigger lens. we have all these different morees, myths and we are comfortable with the ambiguity. we see it as a much richer tapestry of our history, so that we can enjoy the contradictions. when one guy says, billy the kid wa

we accomplish with the leverage that we have if we can offer it to someone with red lanes, curb space and things we do control. >> i think that this has been an incredibly informative and painful day. the way i look at it, we really have two choices. we do nothing and we watch this industry just continue to die. death by a thousand cuts. everybody goes down the drain with it. or we do something and we hopefully drive value back to those purchase medallions and i'll be honest, i am empathy for everybody but i have so much empathy for the people who stepped up and purchased medallions and the fact that they are forecasting and the fact that they are stuck. they invested in this industry. i know all the drivers invested many, many years driving. i think opening up the buyer market without doing other things that drive value back to purchase the medallions it will do anything. i don't think anybody will step up to purchase unless we have another basket of benefits. another something that we know is going to drive value back to those medallions. we've been talking about this and these spec

we work on how we respond to those. also, we did some pg&e substation training and other orientation to what tools we bring and don't bring to electrical areas. don't bring long hooks. your hair will not look as good as chief rivera's. i am just saying. the officer's academy. module two this week consists of company and probationary drills and engine and truck operations. the lieutenants are learning about drilling and going out to give drills to fellow lieutenants. ems academy and in service. 1094 members. some went through twice, two types of training. 4700 hour u hours of training. stop the bleed and community c cpr. bump up academy completed. we have an acacademy that will last for six weeks. fiery serves 138 hours of drills in september. i want to thank the deputy commander who keeps us informed. they went to the third alarm fire the other night and were very helpful because when you do overhaul in a regular two-story house you have to walk down the set of stairs with equipment and debris and burned wood. they had

we served a million meals. i am glad we did it. we didn't plan. we didn't meet. we do what chefs know. we gather, we find a kitchen, we find the food, and we begin feeding anybody that is hungry. sometimes in emergencies, you have to stop planning, you have to start doing, because the emergency of now, when people are hungry and thirsty cannot wait. >> you worked in haiti after the earthquake there. you have been to many disaster zones. so you know that distribution, it is one thing if you get the people, and you are making the ham and cheese sandwiches and you have an assembly line going, how do you get that food to the people who are living in places where the roads have been totally wiped out? how did you do that? >> well, we did it with the help of many. the community came like in an amazing way to join us. so everybody became like an uber driver for us. anybody that had four wheels and a willingness to make it happen, we will give them a sticker and they became our engines to deliver the food. we had more than 10 foot tracks that will be delivering the food

is soason we monitor that we rescan what people do, so that we can respond to it. so someone posts in accurate information, whether it is malicious or unintentional, something like mail your ballots back today. if that is election day in colorado, the worst thing you could do is mail it back because we have to receive it by election day. we need to be aware of that so we can respond. those are three different categories, and the way you address the issues are very different in each of those areas. john: i'm going to come back to matt. i know you were not there, but prior to the 2016 election, the department of homeland security made a designation that elections were part of critical infrastructure. one, can you explain what that is? not just term you use for elections, but other parts of the world. we would like to get into how the relationship is developed between the federal and the state and locals, who are really running the elections. matt: i appreciate that. critical infrastructure, we have 18 sectors or subsectors of critical infrastructure, elections fall u

we read wire and the water we need and for the air that we breathe. we are in a potentially unsustainable situation and we have to think our way out of that. it doesn't do any good to disregard evidence. so, yes, i think we have to take myth and subjected to evidence. >> yes, please? >> i'm sorry i have not learned everybody's name over these three days, i wish i had . >> it's mel . >> hi, mel . >> the question is obviously the west coast and california have evolved and become different than the rest of the west. the interior of the west montana, wyoming, as compared to california where oregon is obviously a different place. california has evolved to a state that has a bodyguard with regard to the rest of the nation . i'd like to know, why you think that happened and why we can't hope that this will kind of transfer to the rest of the country including the rest of the west and, obviously, our current and more recent state or federal government is controlled by interests that are different than the interests that are controlling the california governme

we thought we could take cows everywhere. with 3g we started into more of the data. the smartphones came along and we said, where is the app for that? with 4g, we realized we wanted so much data coming we went to a data centric network. and allowed us to use data and now we wanted to connect everyone to everything but we didn't design it for that. the way i like to think about 5g is that we have different route asha: delighted to. when you connect everyone to everything, it is more than interpersonal. it's not what you do with your phone but it's about billions of things talking to each other. i like to reference the international trade organization around three aspects, one is around sensors or machines. like, when you have things like sensors, how do you get the data, the water meters the , lighting? how can you use all of that to save electricity, traffic lights, synchronize all those? millions and billions of devices. a second one is more of what we use 4g for, or what we call mobile broadband, like what we call with stream. how can we all stream or and our house

we are a nation that is built on laws and we have to -- if we don't enforce laws that we open ourselvesp lawlessness. if the law is on the books than if the law is on the books than it ought to be enforced. i would be a governor would enforce those laws around those particular circumstances. if it's on the books for license s to be revoked, they should be. >> mr. dean, i am going to ask you the same question. mr. dean: i think you enforce the law and you follow the law clearly, but let me say this. the immigration issues which were a huge part of the republican primary to the point where all you were seeing were commercials about who will build the biggest wall and will the wall be built in memphis or as a -- or is a governor going to run immigration and the governor has a good sense and leadership skills to say look, this is not what this race is about. you're not in charge of immigration or the law -- or the wall. we have been waiting for the federal government under the george w. bush administration and barack obama and now the donald trump and ministration to -- administration to re

, how are we preparing, what are we exercising? what does our posture look like? what are we doing with our offensive capabilities. how are we working with our international partners? how are we identifying what are norms and behavior we think are acceptable in cyberspace for individuals or companies or nation states and then what are we doing to enforce them? what are we doing about it? cyber and it's not just cyber. that is a tool and we should have that tool and it's available to us but it is one element. it's one of the levers we have. it's one element of national power we can bring to bear. and it's an important one because a lot of our adversaries can't compete with the united states on most playing fields so they choose cyber. the third one or the fourth pillar, excuse me, is advancing american influence. what are we doing from a deterrence standpoint? how are we deterring malicious actors in cyberspace? how are we working with our international partners? because this is not something we can do alone. it's not something anyo

we think oh, maybe we can get more or maybe we won't get more or maybe units won't get built. it really feels like no one has any idea what's going to happen here. more affordable ratios don't always end up the way we think they will. look at mission rock, which did have a high affordability rate. it also had a number of office units to offset that and more office units, which cause most gentrification which caused more displacement. a lot of the times when we asked developers, please, give us more affordable units, what they're thinking is ok, we can do more affordable units but we'll also have to do office space to cross subsidize those costs. i think we need a new process here for actually get ago forwarget affordableunits. if we have one meeting after another where people say build it and don't build it, everyone says we need more housing. if the funding source is the big issue, maybe the funding source needs to change. thank you. >> hello, supervisors. i'm david woo. this piece of legislation directly undermines prop c and the will of the voters as many other speakers hav

we need to make sure we address all aspects. everything from border security to dreamers to a system that works. we need to come together as americans on this for american solutions. not everyone is going to want to become an american citizen. it is going to be an earned pathway. but i signed onto these different bills because they work in my community. i will continue to fight for this. whether i am talking to the most liberal group or the most conservative group, this is what i believe and what i will fight for. i will let the different bills speak for themselves. i have a record on this, when i -- one that i am proud of and will continue to fight for. josh harder: i think the reality is 98% of the time, voting weeks -- speaks for itself. you have again and again cosponsored bills, and every time you get to call to drop it, you do. you let deadlines expire. what did we get? nothing. we saw a vote that was not bipartisan, because you decided to ignore the other half and only work with your party. i hear every day from dreamers

we are a small state. we are congested. we have coaldust depositing here. energy -- carp efficiency bill was extraordinary. the automobile industry supported it. it was good, long-term goals, and they were building to that. instead, president trump said no. we are going to end those efficiency standards. no, connecticut and california cannot have higher standards. you want a governor who will fight for connecticut and connecticut's standards. the degree to which it is the right to choose, the degree to which is guns, you want a governor who will stand up and protect our values in the state of connecticut. >> quick questions, quick answers. >> thank you. one of your first jobs as governor will be to deliver a budget to the legislature in february. we have a multibillion dollar projected deficit for 2019. will you be able to do it without gimmicks or things like the rainy day fund? >> mr. stefanowski? >> we have the rainy day fund to begin with because of fundamental tax reform at the national level. it shows you what a little common sense around lowering tax

of course, we are darwinian at the psa group, we add depth to the conditions in which we operate andcourse, we will adapt our plans and strategy to the conditions set by the u.s. administration. of course, we are eager to listen to the president. you said that psa would come back to the north america with the next few years. could this accelerate your plans? willdon't think it accelerate them because we want to do things properly. first of all, we want to learn about u.s. consumer expectations and we are already operating in the united states in terms of mobility services, in order to learn and understand the market as processing as possible. will go step-by-step and we are now preparing our distribution model. we are preparing what needs to be done in terms of manufacturing. we have already started to prepare the engineering profile products to u.s. regulation compliance. all of this is under planning and we just need to synchronize the different parts of this is best model in order to make it happen. that should be done within the next few months. obviously, this is relief in the s

we do. in 2016, we have tried to make incremental changes and build opportunities for listening and learning to our athletes, both elites and non-elites, to implement further changes, to which i can go into further details if you wish. other missions we have also introduced, we have an independent ethics and judicial committee, including federal prosecutors, former inspector generals and former state-level judges. prosecutors, former inspector we have implemented more specific measures, including the removal of the need to weigh in in the nude, in our sport. it can now be done in a singlet or fully clothed. that has also been suggested to our international federation. we have made our reporting easier, by having a telephone tree when you call usa weightlifting, and making the suggestion of former survivors, immediate information available, very clearly and prominently at each end everyone of our events. we are open to further improvement and we are open to further ideas. the u.s. center for

to say we need more, we are in the resource -- we do know it be careful what we looking up and offered deficits and debts. but given the funding we been given to date i think there's a lot we can do. there is a lot of work were doing and department of energy retina. great collaboration with department of energy on scene where can we take the grid. it is ultimately, it is the transmission distribution system that worries as the most. and figure out how we can robust that up come to be able to continue our some of the more critical assets, spending a lot of time with d.o.e. on what we have more reliable sources mainly dealing with-hydrological sources were how we can make sure we meet early can you set for a black start as well as funding critical functions around the country from those plants. so i'd say probably we have enough right now. i would want to work within the administration to see if we can do anything more. also new authorities never really given authority by coachs to allow us if we feel it's a national security imperative to be able to take do you deduct and step outside t

we know we have a crisis on our hands and we know that we have to make smart investments because we see it on our streets every single day. it's effecting the quality of life. it's effecting the business community. we know that many of the people sadly that are struggling on our streets are experiencing a lot of challenges. and we want to thank you. we want to thank the discovery polk community benefits district for its work and its contributions and being partners in this effort to make sure city safer, to make sure city cleaner, and we know that there's so much work to do. this process has brought so many businesses together and i am just excited to be here today to sign the legislation that made it possible. this is your victory. we're going to get to work to make san francisco an even better place for each and everyone of us. thank you so much for being here today. [applause] >> thank you, very much, mayor breed. of course, our next speaker is a long-time champion of community benefits. the author of the legislation and help make them possible. supervisor of our district 3, aaron pe

had we not had it there -- >> i think a fair measure is the measure we talked about. >> we actually wantedake the portfolio you had and see what it did. the problem is your managers are selling and buying stocks all the time so it's very difficult. but again in terms of energy versus non energy, you've made a percent. in terms of the alpha in the energy stock is another 6% so that's 7% on that portion right off the bat and there's probably other factors we're overlooking. so by all key measures, our concerns for diminished returns from a divestment have been heightened by the passage of time and we're in the environment whether -- like it or not, during a period of accelerated economic delivery, modern society demands more power and right now we don't have the ability to supply that power throughal earn t -- alternative sources an it will be more production of fossil fuel and we can either not participate or we can. those were our conclusions. before we move to the second part, which really deals with what your staff has already proposed proposed, in our mind quite effectively, i have some

we are be hold deb to the contracts we award. we have had a sweet spot over the last few years with construction contracts that are under $5 million, as those continue to happen, then i think we can sustain those numbers. you know, we will do our best to unbundle contracts and create opportunities for small firms. >> i am aware and other of the other city departments. we have a business model working very well with outreach. results are showing it, numbers are good. i think we have best practice here. elaine you are nodding your head. are we sharing this best practice so other departments can learn from it? >> we collaborate with the other departments. qec is a leader. we are learning from them and also learning what works here at the port to expand the number us. one they we do other city departments don't do we track metrics and bring to the port commission. that is a level of accountability that we don't see. that is for us to not only have the goal but measuring ourselves to it. >> if you expect what you expect you get the re

if we say, we agree that we don't have a clear endgame right now, we can't think 20 years ahead, and imagine a wonderfully reformed relationship, but over the next 2 to 5 years, what should we be aiming for in this relationship? what would be one or two steps you would recommend to move us in that direction? >> i would recommend that those areas that we do have a common vision on focusing on, we are in a very dangerous period in our relationship. we need some wins at this point, i think negotiating the start is very important for both sides, very important. it's coming up soon, as something to focus on, counterterrorism is something we are both very much in alignment on, that's something to focus on, these are human beings. when president trump called president putin to tell him about the terrorist attack in st. petersburg, that's not a little thing. the personal touch involved, can go a long way, and making this process more pleasant. for both sides. >> it seems like the political will that's required, you both described the situation where the momentum on both sides, there's such a

we also need to look at how we are spending money. the united states spends a lot of money on colleges and universities. some of that goes to the g.i. bill, where veterans go to for-profit schools. if you go outside many bases, you will see many for-profit colleges. they know they can have frankly, loans, quite on our soldiers and sailors, and they never get a degree and they owe this huge amount of debt. sometimes we are not moving students into the correct field. sometimes a two-year college degree will help students get into jobs in the near-term, whereas sometimes these four year degrees don't get them work and they owe a huge amount of debt. moderator: mr. webber, your thoughts on student loan debt? mr. webber: i have a lot of thoughts. i have seven kids going to college one day, so i have concerns. first, we have to hold colleges and universities accountable. we see in indiana, purdue university holding its tuition flat four years in a row. dogers should be required to the same thing. i have been in the state assembly talking ab

compassionate nation that we are we can come to a reasonable understanding what we do. i think a lot of them will return some can stay but i think we will do it in a bipartisan manner with finger-pointing aside this issue is very simple we know there is a bipartisan commonsense solution by securing the border with 21st century technology to make sure we keep dangerous people out and we know we have to come together as a country to make sure those that are here want to stay here and be productive citizens and have the path to citizenship. with a bipartisan commonsense solution but it is evident just how broken and toxic. and to get anything done with the finger-pointing or to blame to take responsibility. i agree you cannot turn your back on the vulnerable but that is happening right now because we don't have strong leadership in congress we have not fulfilled our commitments to the kids and family separation is happening at the borders in our country and unfortunately after 22 years what you hope to get accomplished is far too little too late. >>. >> so if we build the

then we have a few test we do run on site. so those would be pregnancy test, hiv rapid test, and hepatitis b rapid test. people get those results the same day of their visit. >> i think it's important for transgender, gender neutral people to understand this is the most confidence, the most comfortable and the most knowledgeable place that you can come to. >> on-site we have condoms as well as depo-provera which is also known as [inaudible] shot. we can prescribe other forms of contraception. pills, a patch and rain. we provide pap smears to women who are uninsured in san francisco residents or, to women who are enrolled in a state-funded program called family pack. pap smears are the recommendation-recommended screening test for monitoring for early signs of cervical cancer. we do have a fair amount of our own stuff the day of his we can try to get answers for folks while they are here. whenever we have that as an option we like to do that obviously to get some diagnosed and treated on the same day as we can. >> in terms of h

if we do not broaden the economy at the same time we diversify we cannot solve the fiscal crisis we have a two or 300 million-dollar gap in funding and a number of unfunded liabilities. and what i would propose is looking at tax reform 2020 to build on the principles and develop a fair and equitable competitive tax structure that can sustain us into the future and be tied to the economy of the future. rammell: we don't need one and second when we passed the mineral trust fund we also passed a constitutional amendment that said if we ever did pass income tax you could write it off on the property and sales tax so there is no value to raise any income tax at all. i do believe we need to try to figure how to live within our means. we have tremendous resources i spent the last five and a half years doing the best job i could to diversify our funding streams to make them appropriate and the trust funds now deliver more income in the mineral trust fund is now the future find. these are the challenges we need to address to keep the income streams sustainable and make the cuts that we need. gord

we skipped an item. we will move back to item ten. announcements and items for discussion. >> any announcements from commissioners? [laughter] >> i'm giving everyone the opportunity. any public comment? on item ten? ok. we will go back to the next -- the last item. >> the next item is item 12, adjournment. the time is 7:04 pm. >> thank you, everybody. thank you for being here and congratulations to all the new folks.

[applause] in the two years leading up to the election, agriculture products, and please remember this, our exports, dropped by nearly $23 billion. think of that. agriculture exports. this is before i took office. before the election. dropped. by $23 billion. no one wants to say that but i say it. now they are up by more than $14 billion, and that's before these great trade deals kick in. before the election, american farmers saw their net income plummet by 1/3. now we have increased net farm incomes, and this is during negotiations of these tough deals. by $4 billion. think of that. [applause] no one wants to say that. the farmers say it but no one wants to say that. and we're fighting very hard for a terrific farm bill that includes work requirements for food stamps. we want to do something with work requirements. [applause] president trump: we want to have work requirements. don't worry a

we are sucking we are certainly looking at dina. i want whoever it is to spend time with nikki before nicky goes out and get yourself a job and hopefully she will make a lot of money. i think nikki will come back in some form. she is an extraordinary person, a good person. we are looking at many people -- many people want that job. >> are you concerned about the fact she announced her departure before the midterm? president trump: there really is no good time. she told me about this a long time ago. it's almost 4 weeks, so it is not that bad. i thought it was very elegantly done. if you wait until after -- if we is she doing why it and if we lose it is obvious why she is doing it. there is really no good time for do -- to do it. maybe even a year ago, we had conversations. she wanted to be here two years. the point was last week at the united nations, she wanted to get through that and then go probably into the private sector for a while. i am sure she will come back into government because she is a person. some of the people, we al

well, we are down. we are not down anymore, folks. we are way up. way up.eers and applause] way up. [crowd chanting: usa] and by theto way, i want china o do well, but they were down 32% over the last six months, and we went way up. g and since our election, we have gone up almost 50%. think of it. $11.7 trillion. china has lost about 20 trillion. we want them to be happy, we want them to do well, but they have to treat us fairly. they haven't treated us fairly. and they will. they have a wonderful, great leader.. president xi, and they will. the choice in november could not be more clear. democrats produce mobs. republicans producebl jobs. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting: trump] thank you. thank you, everybody, . it's a great state. these are great people. and it did we ever help you? did we help you with a lousy hurricane that you suffered? that was brutal. i never saw anything like that. it kept coming. it was taunting us. have you ever been taunted? it was taunting. it would come in, you would say oh, great. it reloads. then it goes out. then it c

we have a lot more work to do. we are on the right track. we did not get here by accident. negotiations,se we are all focused on what matters most, though the opportunity for workers and for their families. , first,rnment's purpose last and always is to create the conditions to grow stronger middle-class and improve opportunities for canadians. that is what we achieved today. it is an important step in the right direction and it is something that we and our partners can be very proud of. i am happy to take your questions. >> we will start with one question, one follow-up as quickly as you can. i will use your depth to get you to do an answer. qwest good afternoon, i am wondering how this will restore your relations with the white house. trudeau: i had a very positive call with the president this morning. there is no question that now to an renegotiating nafta has been a challenge in conversations with the president and the administration over the past 13 months. there is also no question that ,ow that we have moved forward it is good news for all throughout our countries. w

but as we open we should see some naturally shift. we have talked about bike lanes on 7th and 8th. later we will talk about howard, we talked earlier about fulsome. we have a lot of different modes and we are thinking this is a network. for the 6th street project we build a model that goes beyond how each intersection along 6th street will operate but we believe some of the traffic on 6th street can find alternate routes through the network and regional like 4th and 9th and 10th which provide good connectivity heading southbound. >> commissioner g. borden: my question is north of market corridor, there was reference about golden gate, or maybe you could talk about what we have found from other work done in that area and how we might tweak. i think the bottleneck starts north of market sign, i think it's the choke hold in that area that people are most concerned about. >> it's true. one of the tricky things we wrestle with, with the way our grid is set up in san francisco. everything slows down as it approaches market street. and partly that is the intersections. but also that's whe

i also think we have to be responsible about the ways that we are handling this and making sure we are putting the incentives in the right place so that we can wean ourselves off of fossil fuels and make sure that we make investments in that not only hold promise for environmental policy, but also for economic future swell. that is very exciting. my opponent denies the science behind climate change. i trust it. i know that we can't not do anything. we have got to lead -- leave this world better than we found it. >> i have made this very clear. i don't want america being taken advantage of. too often, america gets the short end of the stick. countries like china, step up and pay your cost, step up and engage. china is trying to build its economy by increasing its gdp. america has to pick up the cost. chris is not interested in supporting america first. he is not trying to make sure everyone else is trying to kick -- trying to get taken care of but america. >> stay with the environment. you cannot time of the next question. >> on the environment. >> thank you. dangers of chemicals used i

and we think we have something. but we want to listen to your comments and see how we can adjust and adapt. >> commissioner wolfram: thank you. i want to clarify for the members of the historic preservation commission. we should be looking at this through a lens that we'll be granted certificates of appropriateness to the kiosks and toilets in historic districts. it's a reasonable question to ask about maintenance and durability, but we need to focus or lens not on personal opinion whether we like or don't like it, but if they can be compatible in the historic districts that they will be placed. that's an important position. i had a couple of questions for the design team. what is determining the height of the toilet structures? it looks like there's quite a lot of space in the top. then the second question, and maybe you said this, but is there any reason that the kiosks can't be round, the advertising kiosks? two questions for the designer at the jcdecaux team. >> this is my opportunity. i've been working on this

we know the things we should gee at the top of and we understand the things at the bottom we should be better at. we know what's wrong that we like to participate. it will take us working together, united democrats and republicans all races all cultures. we can do a lot to change in mexico. that's why i'm running for governor to do that. pearce: trek to the most pressing issue for our state? lujan grisham: i think that's public education. if we don't get public education right, you can't hold workers, continue to lose young people, they're going as different jobs. where the terrible brain drain and we don't recruit businesses to her state. if you want to address the economy the way you do that they should make sure that every child in the mexico has a productive, quality public education. it's one of the reasons that i'm supported by all the major educational state unions and associations in the state, in the a to come also supported by 200 individual educators because we have a very detailed specific plan about what you would do with education. i want to give (c)(3) highlights quickly

we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is. >> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. if gas a

we are pleased to be here. we are showy. we have to watch what items. the first is an informational and it discusses the street design advisory team. while it has been up and running for approximately two years now, this is the first time we've had the opportunity to come and brief you on it. it represents the initiative taking approach taken by the planning staff to create solutions to challenges with interagency coordination to allow improvements to our service to the public. our second item proposes changes to the planning code to improve the implementation of streetscapes improvements that stem from the city's better streets plan. planning is happy to support supervisor came in her office as they introduce these improvements. we have worked closely with her and her staff in preparing to propose legislation. at its most fundamental level, the planning code changes will address three goals. first, ensure the city has the necessary authority to require streetscape improvements when development is being proposed as well as rightsizing the triggers for s

we need to work together and we need to put respect back into the country because we lost a lot of that, learned how to respect each other again. >> i will like the democrats to boost the party because of the fact, i am personally a democrat. and willgistered voter fold for most likely all democrats. been ablet it hasn't to be that way in congress for a had time, whereas we have one outweighing the other. i would like to see the democrats win and be the majority. >> voices from the states, part of c-span's 50 capital's tour. 49th california's district, democratic mike levin a republican diane harkey debated in the race to succeed republican congressman darrell issa who is retiring. this is half an hour. she chairs the state for legalization and he is an attorney for environmental compliance. now they square in

so we in this party, we in this hall, we say thank you.pplause] pm may: and to all businesses, large and small, you may have heard that there is a four-letter word to describe what we conservatives want to do to you. it has a single syllable. it is of anglo-saxon derivation. >> [laughter] pm may: it ends in the letter k. >> [laughter] pm may: back businesses. [applause] pm may: back them to create jobs and build prosperity. back them to drive innovation and improve lives. back them with the lowest corporation tax in the g20. britain, under my conservative government, is open for business. [applause] pm may: we support free markets because we know their strengths. but we also know their limits. the defining event for a new generation of voters was not the fall of the berlin wall, but the collapse of the banks. it was the biggest market failure in our lifetimes. a recession in which almost 750,000 jobs were lost. sound businesses forced to close because they could not access credit. people queuing to withdraw their money from northern rock.

we certainly want to get to zero and we know we will need more than the things we have. the resources to do. we have to be clear about what is possible while additionally thinking about what we would like to see. i think that's going to be framed in both ways in this strategy. and additionally, we can't ask for more than we have. we fully recognize there's a greater need beyond what we can do. hopefully the things we are doing are the most impactful things. >> did you say that we can ask for more than you have? >> you know, typically when we -- a clear strategy, we have to be con trained to the things we have but make it clear what the gap and the delta is in order for us to do more. really, we want to be that you e thoughtful. the things we want to do we're doing that have the highest impact. >> which is great. i would also like to know, in regards to the gap. the delta we're talking about. what is it and what would you like to do if you were to have more resources? right now it's like, ok, we might need more resources but i can't sit here and say we can't support it wi
