and we will see where we go with that. but it is rare you get a tax thational issue in might be successful, but we will see where we go with that. i'm doing my best. caroline: so if you are sitting there thinking that your client would not benefit from a 911, i worked on a multinational multimillion dollar case. it just came to resolution and we worked for many months on a very complex case. case, a really difficult because without giving any details the relationships -- >> we are going to leave this discussion on the irs at this point. you can see all of our programs online at c-span.org. we go now live to a discussion on the trump adminisio

we want u.s. outcome throughout your component to focus more on that role and proposing not a done deal in the air force but proposing to align our conventional fighters rescuing command control forces under the ninth air force. it's also the home to a standing joint task force headquarters capability that we felt so that we can take on it they want us to the air force can provide a headquarters to go run a task in support like the army is able to provide headquarters or core headquarters. we are building the capability at the ninth air force and they've reached an initial operation capability and it will lead and exercise this fall and the spring with u.s. european command that is the next step in reaching a full operational capability. so, that will be responsible for both force generation and presentation. conventional forces and driving in the work with joint commanders to get the readiness required. under the iw forces this fall we will combine 24th and 25th air force so 24th has been our air

we will see where we go with that.it is rare you get a constitutional issue and tax but we will see where we go with that. i'm doing my best. caroline: if you are sitting there thinking that your client would not benefit from a 911, think again. in murphy: we worked on international case, a multimillion dollar case, it just came to resolution. and we worked for many months on a very complex case. ms. olson: it was a difficult case. without giving details -- the relationships had really melted down. and the intervention of our office -- i kept saying to people -- i don't know the right answer on the case that we need to keep working to get to the right answer. and it took -- i think you can say that the intervention, and it really was one of my direct reports who was able to keep trust going on between the different parties so that you could get an answer that nobody was happy about but that everybody could live with. ms. murphy: that is usually a sign of a successful sediment -- settlement. caroline: we saw lot of inte

we are at this because the patriots and we believe in this country. we do what we think is right. not what we think we should do to be reelected. i must do our best to be the change we want to see when democracy gives us our next opportunity next year. [applause] rep. porter: two questions. one is about holding trump accountable. no one is above the law. second question, what we would be doing about climate change. if we fail, nothing else matters. we have enacted permanent funding for the land and wildlife trust fund that passed the state in fall. that will help fund preserve land. we voted on h.r. 9, would set the united states should honor its commitment to the pairs accord. we voted to restore bears ears national monument as part of the antiquities act to protect the land. we have done some things, but we have not done the big fundamental building blocks. there is a lot more that congress needs to be doing. the hard part about this is you have a president who at every opportunity is isolating himself on the climate, rather than partnering with those who want to find solutions.

we can do whatever we want to do if we remember we can do it together. [applause] reasonden: you know, the i did my announcement in philadelphia is to make a point that we are a nation that is unique. we hold these truths self evident, that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creators. we the people, in order to form a perfect union, et cetera. we never fully looked up -- lived up to that. we have never abandoned it before. jefferson didn't live up to it. he had slaves. for everything generation, every generation has worked more toward inclusion. ladies and gentlemen, that is why we are who we are. we are the most unique idea. it is an idea that we can't abandon. folks, we are better prepared to own the 21st century than any nation in this world by a longshot. when i got elected to a 29 -- as a 29 year old kid to the senate, i was labeled as this guy who was optimistic. the fact of the matter is, the fact of the matter is, i am more optimistic today, with one exception, than i have ever been. if we get rid of donald trump, we have a cle

we also are partners. we have a strong partnership. we have a common interest on a number of areas and we want people to understand you can compete but you can collaborate and collaborate effectively. it is really wonderful to see , you are really influencers. you are not just behind the scenes. you have blogs coming out, you took the lead on this privacy policy. we are going to talk about your you did sign on to this diversity policy and what i love is that these outstanding general councils are not only thinking about representing their companies in emerging technologies but broader social issues. if you would talk about that. last december, a new york law firm got quite a bit of attention for its incoming partner class which was overwhelmingly white male. task for,led them to how could they possibly have a in termsuch diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, et cetera, in terms of the partnership of that firm. especially given the demographics of people graduating from law school today. it is 50% female. 170 general councils signed ont

when we are bold, we inspire people, we move people. don't come out to vote because they hear a nice bland message. they come to vote when they hear passion and believe change can happen. and that's the party we need to be. i'm going to say something controversial. the man we're all here to beat, he told people they were going to break the status quo. he told them he was going to rock the boat. he rocked it a little too far, i think we would agree. but he got people start because he said things would change. we need to be the party that says things will change once and for all. and we can do that. and i'll finish with this. i want to say, as a new yorker, i'm really, really sorry you got to know donald trump. i'm really sorry about it. but this new yorker is happy to get rid of him for you. thank you. god bless you all. [applause] welcome to the stage marianne williamson. williamson: it's been wonderful to hear all my fellow candidates who are here this afternoon. and i have agreed with more than them than i disagreed with. but i also t

from where we aim wrong. -- where we came from. security at a time when national security will require more from us than ever before. threats--ty white nationalism needs to be called out. cheers and applause national security means ensuring the second amendment is never twisted into id. sentence for americans because we are not ready to implement common sense gun reform. if we are serious about security we have got to be able to treat climate disruption as the security of our time. and security in the age of endless war, authorizations for war should have a subset. they should have to go back to congress and make the case and congress should be ready to step up. if we have troops who came go overseas and put their lives on shoulde, -- congress vote on whether or not it should be up for it to do so. let's rally around these values that bring us together, read him and security that do not belong to a political party. who does not belong to a political party. we stand for people of any religion and no religion equally because that is

when we saw them walk in we all stared at them. we were confused. we didn't know who they were or what was going on. there were two rather tall white men with four african-american children but our confusion quickly turned to admiration. rob and his husband adopted children who need a loving home and they walked the talk and carry it off with an amazing amount of grace and they are very patient with those of us who at first might stare. along with his husband, reese, rob is the cofounder of comfort cases, whose mission is to inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to foster care. when they began, our church members and friends shared our buildings, volunteered our resources and we were all in on this worthy cause in support of the mission. years later they have grown and they are all across the country as rob will tell you how and where. you might have seen them tell their story on national platforms. ey were on the today show. the ellen degeneres show. various news shows. all over the internet. you may have heard of them before and when they

we acknowledge that, and based on what we learned from the two accidents we decided that we needed to verify the assumptions . that is where our pilots got involved to verify in that particular situation if it did occur it is recoverable. in that particular case several thats were able to recover they could not recover successfully. because of that that change needs to occur. andpilots are engaged involved in the process. be formally engage going forward in a more robust way officially. >> absolutely, sir. >> today the wall street journal the situation and one of their points was that the faa -- to get something out immediately and then something more permanent. not tolysis suggests provide the design and implement changes to comcast. boeing and that planning to complete the changes by april. is this accurate, the report, did the faa intent to have a pilot morning knowing that boeing needed to make a more significant effects? fix? advancerespect to difficulty whether operational or technical all of those are reviewed by our engineers to determine what we need to -- what we need to be

we have to get back to the nation we work. my grandfather was a union worker on an assembly line during the depression and world war ii. he stood side-by-side with white workers joined together in the cause of a union and the idea that in this nation, if you work hard, if you play by the rules, you can have your american dream. that this generation restore the very idea of this country, that this generation restores the american dream. that is not going to be easy. to achieve that, we have to not turn against each other but turned toward each other. to do that, we have to get rid of leaders that try to demean pit americansnd against each other. it is time to have leaders that speak to that revival of civic grace and to speak to our common values. if you are an american, i know you agree with me that no american should go without health coverage. it is an american right, not a privilege. if you are like me, you believe that public school teachers should be paid for the contributions they are making. [cheering and applause] sen.

we, the people, back in 1999, we bagged sfpuc -- we bagged sfpuc. the only person, two people who agreed with us or mr. edwards and he passed away. commissioner richard straw. two decent human beings. sfpuc, and all this bull should that you hear has perturbed us a lot. from the sierra club, they go to , and you know why? we do not have a hearing. i can ask okay, who do we pay? so what is your role? instead of clean s.f. power, blah blah blah, what is this? if i ask you commissioners, i want critical data on the so-called s.f. clean power, and they want empirical data on the stats and where we are getting it from. and if you find out that 40% is dirty, why are you calling it clean? this is b.s. this is like feel that you put in your car, and then you add the mickey mouse comedy, and then you watch that, anything everything is okay, everything is not okay. again, the state is now passing legislation that they are going to have control, just like water and electricity. we, the people, need to have information about this. we, the people pay the salarie

then if we go to 65, we can assess were we close when we start identifying things. then the same thing for 95. so that is -- we can actually present the risk -- because i think that's important of how do we manage risks. the other thing i want to point out is that we're starting to move away from programming of -- like a program other than the water program, wastewater program, capital programs, and power capital programs. so i don't think we're going to have a sewer system improvement program or a water system improvement program and identify a subset of water projects. i think what we're going to do is treat all water as one program. as part of the the capital ten-year plan we will put money aside in a contingency for all water. so we're trying to figure out how to treat these enterprises as one capital program versus having a subset, because there's other construction that's going on in water and wastewater other than and wesip and sesip. >> the last question -- actually, forget the last question. we'll come back. oh, i know what it was. the -- do i read into thi

we went to work with the americans. we want them here. >> we went the cachet. host: we want ticket -- sean: what the cachet that comes with it. the ivory coast. we are five years. on budget. that is the time we have. by design. that started just last week. it was online. the president had brought in a countdown clock. it is this big digital clock. a big elephant was welded on top. they started in the room. it now sits in the mca, which is the in country entity. that is another important piece of what we do. the infrastructure and project piece is what we do. the knowledge transfer of how we do it, i regarded as equally important because it is such a contrast to other development models. it is open procurement. it is transparency. it is that analysis. understanding how to bid projects out correctly. all of that creates an environment that is very positive for these countries. one other example, just a week or so ago, we have the human resource managers from the in country mca's, which are staffed by individuals from our partner countries for a workshop. a collab

i'm hoping that we can have a report on can we do that, do we have to do it citywide and can we do a citywide, and just to say that it really was a great idea to bring up a name looking forward to us being able to discuss that. >> as i understood the response to the director's response, it was two things. one, do we have the legal power, and what other cities have done it and what sort of results have been met there. is that fair? >> i think that's fair and i think it sounds like something we may be able to get into more in september 3rd. >> correct. okay. any new or -- any other new or unfinished business? >> there was a great article in the chronicle about getting people to slow down. it brought the topic of automated speed enforcement and i think our police officers union or association might have signed on about that. i would like to get an update on that and where is in the state level and remind people to slow down. >> excellent. okay. any other newer unfinished business? >> item seven, director's report >> this is normally the point where i turned it over to the director of tr

and now we are saying we kicked you out, we took your family's wealth for generations, we moved you out of your community, and now you're going to come in and you to jump through all these hoops, when we didn't put any criteria for picking that. i really think we need to talk about it, and if that is something that we can talk about as this commission body, because there's 55 families that could have gotten in, but we said no, so that is an ethical question, it is a moral question that we need to ask ourselves, and if it means we need to talk to the board of supervisors where the mayor, or the state, because it is just not right. it is just not right, so that is something i think i am willing, and would love some support from my fellow commissioners to tackle. i'm not sure how we would go about doing that, but if it is a policy question versus law, then -- not all laws are just, so unjust laws need to become just. that is not something you have to answer right now. >> i love the spirit, and i do think it is a state fight. >> we've got a governor who, you know, supported this commiss

we cannot tell ourselves how sorry we are that we are in the position that we are in.o see this as an american opportunity, just like our parents and grandparents, who fought to make this country more democratic, more fair, and more free. that is what we need to do between now and november. and if we do that, we will win, and we will be able to govern the united states of america again. thanks for having me today. great to see all of you. [cheers & applause] ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage former colorado governor john hickenlooper. [cheers & applause] mr. hickenlooper: thank you and good evening. well known forse producing a picture of the world's corn, but as i look out there tonight, it is clear you are also in the cattle business. but i'm honored to play my part. this last week, like every week for the last three years, we are once again been reminded why this campaign is so important. the immoral, unethical, dangerous president continues to divide us. even as families in el paso and dayton are mourning their love ones gunned down in mass shootings,

we were able to all chip in to make sure we can take care of him, make sure we know we can do for him when his trachea gets messy. we help him walk to the bathroom. we monitor his food so he doesn't choke. we make sure he is taking his meds and everything in between. i think about the folks who have one child and the folks who have one parent or live alone and are dealt with these circumstances. what are we doing to make sure those people get the same amount of care that we are able to provide my brother? even with eight kids we still need help. we still need help to make sure that he has all the supplies he needs. i cannot tell you how many times we have to call the insurance company. this is to get what they call prior authorizations, any time something changes, if you needs an adaptation for his medication. the question is, how will we make sure we are building that caring economy or all of these people? this incredible group of panelists will talk about what it means to invest in childcare, in long-term family care and senior care. what it means to invest in a medicare for all sin

are excited about how we saved a business or how we kept someone from going out of business, and we did that in good faith and making sure that we were really responsible about responding to the needs of some of our small businesses. i hope we can come up with the strategy that does that. >> i don't know if you want to respond to that. >> my one response is, i can make a guarantee that it will be a complete work order to the office of economic and workforce development. i think the question for public policy is it is $5 million to build a one-time five million-dollar chunk, and how can we help as many businesses as we can in an attempt to make it sustainable for all the projects we know we will have in san francisco. >> as we are grappling -- by the way, that is the trade-off between direct grants and no interest, unsecured loans, but before we have that discussion, colleagues, we are the body in this incarnation as the t.a. that is the funding agency that funds vileness prt, gary street purity, central subway, you name it. all of those funds flow through this agency. we don't have

we have cities also. that is the challenge we face. we have taken our $5 million and spent a good deal on something called a virtual desktop, which, as i understand it, does two things. it solves the problem of microsoft 7. we don't know what operating systems they are using in their tens. we gave them microsoft 7 at the time we installed the equipment with the original system. apparently if you use this desktop, which allows us to log in to every desktop on the system and to help see what is going on. of -- a a great time great deal of time on the phone with people who can't login. this will allow us to override their systems. it will use a microsoft 10 operating system. it, will, as i understand make it not necessary for us to go with buying all new operating systems for each town. we had to spend some of our money on used tabulators. the tabulators we have now are coming to the end of their useful life. they were purchased two decades ago. that is egypt history in terms of -- ancient history in terms of computers. millionased almost

we do have a system where we treat everybody fairly. if it's the only bed that is left when you're out a reservation station is an upper bunk, and you cannot access that , we contact the shelter and we try to swap someone out. we cannot hold beds, any bed that is not claimed it will be released for one night use, even if the person can return tomorrow night for the reservation.

we are discussing ways that we can start that even earlier and we were attempting to do that. we're talking about high-impact projects or anticipate construction being greater than 24 months and where we implement those tools where we see direct business supports. here are some projects that we have implemented. you will see these in some areas and the suite of construction mitigation measures that we implemented. twin peaks with the project in which we implemented a lot of the things are integrated in the program, central subway and both van ness are catching up. we did not have this program in place when we started these projects, but we have worked continuously to implement the tools that we are talking about with regard to those construction projects. at our last meeting, when we presented this item, we talked about lessons learned. we have implemented these to date, so trying to work a little bit earlier and trying to start conversations with businesses in advance, i think the suggestion was that we go here and talk to the businesses before we are available to do a constr

to look at how we provide the stock we need.he global fleet has about 2000 scrubbers as well, so they will not run the low sulfur oil and i think the number will continue to grow. there will be demand for both products. alix: you've been on this job for a year now. you were a downstreamer. what were your takeaways? you're also one of a handful of women executives in the oil industry. how do you see the industry developing? susan: it's a really exciting time to be in the industry. the challenge ahead of us to meet the needs and the energy demands, and do it at a low carbon footprint is hugely important for us today, tomorrow, generations ahead of us. it is an exciting time to be here. in the u.s., we are hitting on all cylinders. it has been an exciting year. but i think there's a lot of important work to do and we are rolling up our sleeves and reducing emissions and improving our products and investing in low carbon businesses. alix: great to talk to you, thank you so much. susan dio, president and chairman of bp america. next,

we know racism when we see it. we know when people are like that. we know that stuff. we do not and we had to do that. we had to say oh good morning to you ma'am. so we know that. and we see it and pick it up really quick. that's because that history has talked taught us what it's like to hear the same thing and see the same thing. so the story is still being told but just a little different. >> we want to stop and certainly knowledge that kelly. and stephen seals who was in here, where is he? iceland. celebrating his wedding. he just got married. but we just wanted to give honor to them for taking the time. [ clapping ] and understanding the importance of this, as you say, it is not just important night, it is important for so many reasons, and so many spaces and places, we do not have an opportunity to sit and talk seriously about these kinds of issues. somebodies on one side, somebody's on the other. and nobody is having a conversation like this or at least not enough conversations like this going on. so i hope you williamsburg can take the lead and continue these k

but we had a cliff rescue, where we rescued one person, we had two separate bay re rescues, and we rescued two people. and we rescued two window-washers. we had an extrication from a bart train, and we rescued them and saved them. we had four auto extrications and we saved three out of the four extrications. we did have a fire at the end of the month at centurs.f.o., and it went well. we didn't have to use any of our san francisco resources. it was five floors to the roof, it was an h-vac unit. the interesting part was they had to make a large line lead, over 600 feet, all the way up five stories to get to the roof. so it was a difficult lead, but on top of that, what they were leading through, there was over 30 different kind of hazardous materials inside that plant, including cyanide. they did it safely, made it to the roof, and extinguished the fire. good for the s.f.o. the mccarthur tunnel. > -- wehad a fire in the tunnel, and it was difficult leads, and we were pushing the fire back on each other, but it took some -- it was quick. it was put out quick and extinguished very rapidly. th

as the stance we took our big convention -- we were offering discounts like we do to any large crew. i think we felt this was not the appropriate thing to do given the circumstances that just happened, so as an industry to a degree we banded together. , i was the first one on the speak, to be asks the question, because the nra of course took a strong stance on that, accusing me of political bias. i don't have a political view. i love a family member. plain and simple. so it did become personal. the media picks it up saying munoz said it was a personal decision to stop the nra discount, which wasn't the full context of it. but it is on those kinds of issues where you have to do the right thing. we have parkland. we have the separation of children. remember, my vision is unite the world. what part of unite the world allows separation of children from their families, regardless of the circumstances? so we took a strong stance. in fact, we went a step further. we ended up flying people to actually reconnect people that have been separated. so those are the kind of things that i think are

we can build a country that we are proud of and a future that we are proud of, but it starts with recognizing that the presidency and the campaign is not about him. we are not going to win going on his show. let's face it, pretty much everybody in our party at least global for anybody that can be this president. -- will vote for anybody that can be this president. don't let them tell you we will beat this president and go back to normal. we have to build a future that is better than the past. and i would say the best way to begin with the leadership that is the opposite of what we have now. that is where i come in. i don't want this to be all monologues. any questions out there? yes, sir? the question is about foreign policy and would we reenter the transpacific ownership. i think the time has passed for that and i don't like how it would have overruled the american economy to protect workers and environmental standards. the solution is also to not close ourselves off to the rest of the world. if we really want to be china, -- beat china, we need to invest in our roads, bridges, and schools.

anyway we can help you, we are certainly happy to do whatever we can on our end. it seems like a really well-designed system. we will make it easier for operators to both comply and particularly appreciated your comment about how they are the ones that we are relying on and getting their is so critical to the success of the program. excellent job to all of you, and thank you for your hard work on making this happen. >> i also think this is a really good design here. how big are the designs? >> 8.5 by 11. since we are just mimicking the success of other counties, i'm sure all of us -- just like the sheet. >> they required to be posted in front of the store? >> we currently are playing with the idea of posting it, but not necessarily in the front door, per se. we listen to the community, that is -- we are comfortable with that as long as the public has access to that. >> is evergreen when i'm sure they will put it on the front. >> i'm sure, yes. >> i just want to say that was a great presentation. i'm happy we are being compliant, not only with the rest of the bay a

what we say we will, talk about where we made mistakes and where we need help and so we can rebuild that trust. >> as you are asking the question now is asking myself was is in -- is it important that people trust facebook? this is user generated content. delivering content that other people right. -- that other people write. so is it important that you trust facebook, you expect or want facebook to -- or do you want to trust the people who are using it? this is a different question. i am not saying that i want facebook to -- i think it seems to me it ties into the education question. we need to understand what facebook is. i don't have an expectation, i don't want facebook and an active role of doing that. i had not thought about as i was sorting this out in my head. and when people to have trust in their institutions that produce content. i want them to have trust in themselves, feel like they have the ability to make decisions. it might be important that they have trust in facebook but i don't think it is among the more important institutions that i think, it is always good to have so

we feel like we have achieved that. we also see, you know, we are hoping for opportunities to grow our excursion businesses. we talked about relation to what people want to see. we think if there are new investors that want to come in and access this market, that might be a great way to not only further their businesses but save these historic. we think this renewal support the ports maritime position. we recommend your approval. without i'm happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. may i have a motion? >> do we have public comment? >> good afternoon commissioners, i am cochair of maritime commerce advisory committee. we spoke in support of this resolution at the informational hearing. this warrants another appearance to, again, reiterate our endorsement for the resolution and the lease renewal. we are thrilled to see successful culmination of what has been a really long process. i want to thank the staff, and the commission for your wisdom, your thoughtfulness, your conscientiousness, your dell - diligence in gettin

we did 100% and we did a good job, and we have very good talks.he united areas, not to these just from france, we have a lot from france and a lot from the u.k., from a lot of different countries. >> do you think it is possible that talks will advance in you can reach a deal to delay or cancel the tariff increases? >> anything is possible. much more meaningful than any time and i think for the most part it is because we are doing very well. country, igreat consider him a great leader. they are losing millions and millions of jobs, they are going to other countries, and if i were them i would want to make a deal. madenited states has billions and billions of dollars and most of these products haven't even gone up because thea has manipulated and product can save the same price or it wouldn't be a competitive product. and iost a lot of jobs think they want a sensible solution. i think we are probably in a and ietter position now know we couldn't have gotten here without having to go through this process and maybe i'm alone but i think we are in a po

what we do know is that we can allow somebody who has an import services worker, we can allow them access to the shelter to assist. i was asked how many shelter beds are needed in the city in order for everyone who is homeless to not be homeless? we know from our point in count which was done in january of this year, there were about 8,000 people expensing homelessness and about 5,000 of those people identified as being unsheltered. we do not today have enough shelter beds for all of them. as i said, we do have enough to offer family immediate placement. but for adults, we do not.

we decided that we needed to bring in the ngos. we had meetings down in miami and all over where cubans were coming. but we had to use the refugee system. but we cheated lab. we used -- bus the refugee hadn't totally come into effect yet. so we used sort of a combination of parole and refugee stuff. we did examine them. >> right, right. >> we had a very, very dangerous element who came into the country with the cubans. in fact i had one at hamilton air force base we put him as a temporary place. i got a call from the coordinator. said a lot of the cuban guys are breaking out making a bee line por the chirp's wing. i said you get the mps and police you you arrest every one of them. and they then confiscated. they all kind of knives and guns and whatnot that they found on the camp. we had to transfer these kids, gave them to the justice department community relations service and they resettled them somewhere else under a different guise. but resettlement under the refugee act is really -- it's a strenuous test. and the cambodians, th

, we forget about so many neighborhoods because we are right there in the middle and we are downtown,re in d5 and other areas, and d6, but we don't make it to the west side of the city sometimes. we don't make it to the southeast sector of the city, so michael as mayor is to make sure that we not only spend more time and provide more resources to various parts of our communities in san francisco that sometimes have been neglected, that we make that right kinds of investments in those communities , and so that's why we're here in the richmond today yes, we work with supervisor fewer as the budget chair. this year was absolutely amazing and yes, she fought for this district, but she also fought to prioritize equity and the things that are important to all san franciscans. it was truly a pleasure to work with her and to get this budget done. [applause] when i think back to why i got involved in politics in the first place, i think back to the first time that i advocated for resources for the western addition to the board of supervisors. that advocacy, carol was actually on the board at t

>> we course do what we do at every meeting, as i noted, we do a deep dive into u.s. economic activity and goebel activity, and certainly carefully went through u.s. economic activity which is been some positive and some negative, but overall it is shown resilient during a period. but again, the issue is more of the downside risks and triple inflation and were trying to addresses. so, in addition, going forward i would say, we are going to be monitoring those same things. we will be monitoring evolution of trade uncertainties, global growth and low inflation and we will also and course watch the u.s. economy. i mentioned it shown resilient here to those issues and will put all of that together and that's how we will think about policy going forward. >> i just want to follow up on that. would you say you guys have gotten into a new regime, this is sort of been an insurance cut and i data dependent cut, are we now more in the realm of watching headlines of trade talks and we are watching unemployment rate and inflation numbers, how do we know what you're going to do nex

we normally do present to our own boards when we ask for approval of funds, so we understand the questions. first off, before i introduce tim chan who is our group manager for stations planning, i will say that the main point of this i believe is the questions came with the questions of the cost. so i'll just start by saying -- and tim will get into it as well -- we believe, i believe, it was the responsible thing to do with -- by having our engineer's estimate be modified based on the lessons that we learned in our pilot program that we have in san francisco at pal street station as well as the civic center station. this is our second pilot. so we had another pilot that we installed several years ago in 19th street in oakland. san francisco wanted a different design. so that's why we have this template that we're proposing. it is more costly than what we had in oakland, however, we think that even with 2019 dollars the cost for our 19th street canopy, it was around $2.3 million could be as high as $3 million. we have another canopy in downtown berkley using that same template. so we belie

i think what we can say is that we see, we can see how information is moving, we can understand ways in which certain types of platforms are being used to spread that disinformation. we can see people reacting to twitter.d of memes on twitter is a great platform for misinformation because it is a smaller platform but it has politicians, journalists, and academics, all people who amplify information are there. so it is a great place for microsoft is working for marco rubio -- [laughter] -- and to try to get someone's attention, versus facebook. even now, we don't know exactly what is being spread. my sense is that can we qualitatively or quantitatively say what exactly happened? probably not, but we can say that we are in a different landscape in which you have organized actors working to spread disinformation. nationstates have a lot of resources. we also see places like the politically incorrect 4chan and 8chan that are putting out disinformation for fun. and we have an infrastructure that facilitates that. so we are in a different landscape. even russia does it. it is a democratic

so we all understand it. >> there is nothing else we can do about this? >> we can - >> once again, director forbes, i feel sorry for her having to listen to me over, and over, and over. i just feel sorry for her. [laughter] we do millions of dollars in project. over, and over. >> walkers through why the 32,000,000 dollars participation? walk us through some of the suppliers, where the suppliers are, what makes them so unique so we understand that those companies cannot do this. because we want to do it. and demonstrate that there they are only choices. this tells me if this is in the bidding process. this is sort of telling me we're going to hire the company that is out there. i would conclude there would be some participation at that point? >> the master builder, because the 34,000,000 dollar project would be one of the largest firms that you see to have the various crane in the city. as well as dredging, and what they call the cat. those work, inherently there are no lb eased up perform that work at this time. this includes the painting which is very mi

we should change the way we look at prisons.re in a situation where when someone is convicted of a drug crime, they end up going to jail and to prison. they should be going to rehabilitation. they shouldn't be going to prison. they should be learning to read and write. and not just sit in there and learn how to be better criminals. when they get out of prison, they should be in a situation where they have access to everything they would have had before including pell grants for education, including making sure that they're able to have public housing, including they have all the opportunities that were available to them because we want them to become better citizens. that's the essence of what my plan lays out. i'm happy to discuss it more in detail if the senator wants to. and so i -- you know, i -- anyway, that's what i think my plan -- i know what my plan does and i think it's not dissimilar to what the senator said we should be working together to get things done. >> your response? >> my response is this is a crisis in our c

we are talking about trade. we are talking about military. we are talking about many different things. we had great discussions together last night for dinner. p.m. modi: [speaking foreign language] 700 million voted. [speaking foreign language] common values. [speaking foreign language] thank you. president, can you clarify -- >> it is a very important meeting to me. you have had the opportunity, as you know, india is the largest democracy and we vote recently were 700 million indians chose their government. today, i would like to thank the president for his congratulations. statesnd the united share democratic values. whatever contribution we can make in whichever way we have these common values and we work for the children of humanity. we have continuous discussions on these issues. india and the united states, we have been discussing on a continuous basis various economic and other issues. on many of these issues, we have welcomed u.s. suggestions. together, we are working on the area of trade. we are making efforts to move forward. the i

we have concrete, we have steel, we have framing, we have a little bit of everything.o get started, i would love to walk you through what we call the form. it is a really exciting new way to get from here into 49 south then ness. >> it is a new public open space that cuts through the walking allows people to walk through there and gives the civic building three or more ways to be connected to this really big block. [♪] >> we are in the pavilion gallery. right behind me as south van ness. it is very close to the street. you will see a curved wall with an l.e.d. screen. this space will be used for a number of different purposes. it will be also one of the most prominent spaces in this building. >> we are here in the main atrium lobby. behind me here, there are the grand stairs that will eventually be fully finished with wood and this will go to the level to permit center. >> welcome to the permit center. we are now on the second floor of the building. the permit center is the driver for this project. picture this. i am a plan checker and i'm sitting on the inside of the

how we are living, where we are going, and what we are learning. from the time of thomas jefferson, the census has tracked growth and change in our country. serving as a pillar of our democracy, transcending party and try. including the census in our constitution marks a turning point in world history. in the hands of kings and emperors, a census has been a tool of oppression, a ledger using property and script script , but the founders lived that model in the head. our senses is designed to empower the government. granting a set political power based on the population of our communities. census data serves as a basis of a staggering $800 billion in federal disbursements to state and local governments. it is the gold standard of demographic information for businesses, researchers and government. with the 2020s census fast approaching, we have a problem. congressional appropriations have fallen short over the past decade. which will lead to a projected 50% drop in the number of local and regional census offices and a 25% reduction in field staffers.

we pass a lot of laws we repeal some but we cannot on demand we need more units and more rental units it's best if we could get construction of affordable units even if luxury units are built somebody's moving in there that would not be in the non- luxury unit with that land-use planning so if you want to build an auto dealership i have a dozen cities that will give you healing end and the mayor will come not just cut the ribbon but help you build. on the other hand, if you want to build housing you get the impact counties charge high fees. so what do we do that we finance government on ability to pay the state income tax is a good way to measure that instead we finance based upon whether you are building something the city government has to provide fire protection. >> leading on tax policy that's a great question. a couple of things but between impact fees i do believe we pass that the fee that does allow housing you do have to put money aside for affordable housing as much as $100 million of support of subsidized housing out of that but you are right we cannot keep putting everythin

we need to think about how we expand the playing field. how do we make sure we are building a broad coalition of fair-minded people that oppose the polities of this president and to this president is? stop thinking about micro-targeting. not every african-american cares about criminal justice to the exclusion of other things. in some ways, we've dumbed down our politics forum detriment. speaking to people in a holistic way, stop treating them as caricatures of who we think they are. that's not just a lesson from 2016. frankly, we've been held hostage by data. we haven't been letting data inform us. we've been abusing it in a way that stronger coalition. i would like to see us do more to change that as well. the enormousook at amount of spending in the trunk campaign, particularly in digital, are you worried about democrats being able to catch up? you guys have a primary. he will be the party's nominee. he has a lot of time. >> i mentioned before that we are up online, not on television. we recognize the importance of digital, not just to c

we should be tracking this. we should be able to see if we are giving more or less citations. these numbers are low. we have heard the citation of 647e mentioned. that is important. that is used to threaten people taking the tents away and taking it as evidence. when i was doing evidence in 2014 and 2015 this was not regularly used at all. this is something we are hearing on the streets and now in data and the prosecutor is not progresses cuting the cases because the threat carries a lot. we have heard, though, that they are using 647e. we have heard as david lazar mentioned in the march hearing they would take tents from people not cooperating with their orders to move. we know there are more officers now dedicated towards homelessness. more dpw workers doing the cleanings which result in the tents being thrown away. what documentation do we have when the tents are taken away. many people are in the hospital getting food. you try to protect the tent of another person. if that is not your tent, we are going to take it. we have documentation of tents thrown away and the content

we are looking into that and we need to do better and we are attempting. new members, and technology is changing quickly, i think people's expectation of what technologies would be available to them also changes. folks who have been here a long time might expect things to stay the same, but as folks come in from the outside, they have expectations of what types of technologies they will be able to use. i know that new members of talked about being able to do a video conference. , as folks come in, they can engage and make sure we are talking about the technologies that are not available or what needs to be available, or how we continue to make sure that we are up-to-date on what's available and meet the expectation. mr. kiko: this is something i have heard from other people. we are going to be reengineering want -- everyd we two years, the new members are coming in and they are really advanced. they challenge the technology that we have up on the house. we have a difficult issue sometimes of balancing the technologies for which is not totally secure issues
