we have to make sure we are balancing this because we still have only a third of americans overall who have gotten there first booster. we still have some catch up to do. dion: being in the bay area, sometimes we forget about the situation across the country. that plays a role into the number you mentioned. i want to give a shout out to philip joining us on facebook and fill who says, i want a j&j second booster, i am 65 and have copd, he is probably a good candidate. dr. patel: based on that, generally speaking, someone who is 65 and has an underlying condition, you are a candidate to get the booster. i would chat with a health-care professional, but that is someone who if that was my family member, especially in the time when we are not out of the pandemic and we me -- and we may see a ba.2 surge, at the second booster. dion: speaking of ba.2, this seems to be for lack of a better term the ugly stepchild of omicron. what do we know? dr. patel: it is hard to call it the ugly stepchild, baby it is just a step cousin because this is still a subvariant. it is more contagious, but there i

we will do what we can, and we will stretch our authorities as much as we can under law, but the statutes constrain how much we can use telehealth. thank you for the extension. >> we don't have enough of anything, we don't have enough rns, and this is another place where telehealth can help, and how can we ensure that we are focusing on the entire workforce pipeline? how can we do this in the most exspa dishious manner possible? >> we have explicitly and specifically targeted rural health as well as underserved area. a quick example, on telehealth, and if you don't have broadband, you can't take advantage of that. we are trying to figure out how we allow that service to cross state lines as well, because there are different standards in different states for the medical professionals. not to let the old way of doing business get in the way, and we are going to try and do all that, but that's where we need your help to go beyond where we have gone before. >> thank you. i yield back, madam chair. >> congresswoman clark. >> thank you, and it's wonderful to be with you, secretary becerra, and

we announced that we were rejoining the human rights commission. we started to work on rejoining the paris agreement. we really did move forward, almost like a bulldozer. to get back into the multilateral system. so there is no doubt now that we are back. our leadership has been asserted in all of these forums. we have taken the leadership reign and for example addressing the covid pandemic. we have delivered the president -- noted that we cannot address this pandemic alone. by just going with the consequences in our own country. we have to address this in a global way and we have led the global pandemic response. we have delivered at this point more than 500 million doses of covid vaccine. i have made sure wherever i travel, that i highlight those efforts, including receiving and delivering doses, watching doses being administered to frontline health care workers, watching doses being delivered to ordinary people. so, we have really reintegrated long-term partnerships and alliances and created opportunities for cooperation. i have been on the road

that is who we are. we are san francisco! we are loud. we are proud. we are hopeful. we are resilient, san francisco. let's tell them that. thank you. >> the bicycle coalition was giving away 33 bicycles so i applied. i was happy to receive one of them. >> the community bike build program is the san francisco coalition's way of spreading the joy of biking and freedom of biking to residents who may not have access to affordable transportation. the city has an ordinance that we worked with them on back in 2014 that requires city agency goes to give organizations like the san francisco bicycle organization a chance to take bicycles abandoned and put them to good use or find new homes for them. the partnerships with organizations generally with organizations that are working with low income individuals or families or people who are transportation dependent. we ask them to identify individuals who would greatly benefit from a bicycle. we make a list of people and their heights to match them to a bicycle that would suit their lifestyle and age and height. >> bicycle i recei

we go in and say we -- here is what we -- here is half of what we gave you last week. we cannot not feed them. they claim that we make about taking food from the hungry to give to the starving israel. these people who are just hungry before it now become starving. the starving, the transition into starving or famine or whatever you want to put it in regions of the world is very real and we are already there in places like yemen and ethiopia. we have had to say we can give you one half of the food we gave you last month and next month, we can only give you a quarter of it. not only raising money but trying to divide how we can get more commodities to be able to afford that the food that we donate and convoy two countries. the other side is this soon-to-be -- sustainability action when it comes down to working with climate change. in the countries who are on emergency rations what we are trying to help them be able to grow crops on their own or grow to sustain themselves, we cannot get the seeds out of where it is coming from. it has a ripple effect that has transcended

, we are so selfish this species calling human hill humans we, we, we, we think only about ourselves and not about the next and the next generation, which is amazing because we love our children and our grandchildren isn't it. and yet we are not willing to make the kind of steps that we know we do know because science tells us so have to be made. that is why it is the courageous leaders. it is the brave politicians who dare to say and tell it as it is, but also offer up the solutions because it is in that sounder economy and that is cleaner and greener than you will have more decent jobs. you will have less poverty. but, but yes, it is a shift, but just like we don't have the steam engines anymore. oh, whatever, you know, we make these shifts. and yes, some jobs are lost in the process because the steam engine engineers may not be around and those jobs are gone. and but other jobs in more decent and cleaner jobs are created. so does take leadership from all sides, c, e, o, 's, investors, bankers, as well as politicians and activists to make that shift in. but yes, we are selfish spec

should extend that we need to give clarity on where we are headed as we try to deal with post pandemiclthcare issues that means putting an end to basic mandates but also mean moving the healthcare system on a more predictable path. we just cannot operate in a permanent state of emergency and we need to forward. with that in mind that line providers and working families deserve concrete timelines and plans to exit ongoing public health emergency because we need this with transition given the omission do you expect the public health emergency to and this summer and can you speak to the progress on post emergency transition planning. >> you pointed out something that is critical for the american public and all industries which is the preparation it will take once we leave the state of public health emergency we have committed to make sure we have providers of a 60 day notice to bring down that public health emergency declaration we make the plans for what comes next the president has submitted a proposal in the budget to call for what comes next. we go beyond covid-19 on a bipartisan basi

we don't know, that is why we want to have the meeting. he is not going into this meeting on tuesday with a preset list of things that he thinks we have to drive to. he wants to hear from allies and partners and from the ukrainians about what they are doing and what they will need going forward. that is why we are calling it a consulting group, so we can consult. we are not going into this with a precooked set of endings. >> earlier this week, you talked about that at some nation was sending aircraft to ukraine and clarified it was parts that had moved in. where does that stand now? has ukraine received aircraft -- mr. kirby: i'm not aware that they have received operable aircraft from any nation at this team -- at this time. >> going to follow up on bob's question about the letter from members of congress. they asked about providing armored ambulances as well as taking the sick and wounded to the u.s. military regional hospital in western germany. are those options -- mr. kirby: i have no planning to speak to with respect to field medical

[laughter] the truth is, we were serious and we were thoughtful and we were determined, and we every day put america first for every second of our time. [applause] i would travel the world, and sometimes people did not like that idea, that we would put america first. i would speak with a leader and they might give me a hard time with that. when i'm in bangladesh, i would say to the president, i assume you are bangladesh first. i think your people are counting on that. each of us have a responsibility. i was privileged to raise my right hand and defend this most precious document, the united states constitution and defend you against enemies foreign and mystic, and i was proud to declare that i was doing my work on your behalf. [applause] we were a unique administration. you laugh. i'm the only machine shop owner that will ever be secretary of state. i am probably the only person who was ever president of their homeowners association who will ever be secretary of state. talk about a political battle. try to get shingles out of your neighborhood. [laughter] the truth of the matter is t

we did the basic and we did them well. we showed we could deliver on bigger ideas.ing. we helped guaranteed income with those impacted by the pandemic. we experimented to allow people to gather outdoors. some met neighbors for the first time ever. now those covid experiments are transforming our city. we made share spaces permanent for restaurants. we have six guaranteed income programs with more to come. in golden gate park, jfk is on the way to being a permanent car-free space. [applause]. that proofs we can work hard on the basics while pushing the big ideas. that is how we kept people healthy and safe this past two years. however, right now we are dealing with another kind of challenge. right now too many people across the city don't feel safe. asian seniors are fearful of leaving home. tenderloin families are living with random gun ideas. homeowners are fortifying garages after another break in. sweeping up broken glass and paints up graffiti on a regular basis. these are complicated problems with twisted roots reaching well below the surface level solutions. a

we knew that we needed to be prepared for this crisis either way. we need a plan. but i will say these tools are important to us and we are already using them. in fact i was made aware yesterday there are five products -- projects using this new fuel rate ce. so it is a tool in our toolbox and we are using it. ms. herrell: the bill authorized provisions to congress focused on wildfire management including issues related to aerial land equipment and the department of homeland security's federal emergency management agency. announce that the establishing of the commission would be december 2021. but my question is to you, when can we expect the members to be appointed to this commission? and how will this commission differ from existing agencies, such as the wildland fire leadership cancel or the wildfire resilience interagency working group? how will it differ? miss rivera: i will try to answer that is best like entry to the nomination project for the commission closed last friday. and i understand we had a very large amount of interest, over 500 applications. so th

we can do what we can.let's have a conversation as opposed to a number out of the air. >> commissioner paulson requested to speak. >> you ventured to say a couple guesstimate about some reservoir level. just curious what do you expect in the next few days? >> i can't be hear you. >> i said you ventured to speculates about the next couple days in terms of reservoir level. i was wondering what you anticipated might happen in the next couple days? reservoir level are easy. do you expect it to rain? >> no. there is to be some little bit this weekend. i expect it not to be very much. >> commissioner maxwell. >> if we could give people 200 million. what is our plan? do we have a strategy? is there a way to get out the word? >> the emergency declaration the commission did in november to tell customers this is what you need to do. these are the targets you need to hit to get there. secondly, we have been working with customers on outreach campaign. there is a little bit about the outreach campaign later today. in t

if we did, we all would have done what we could to help. everyone's challenge and expense with mental health are unique. there are signs that people need help. other times, there are no warning signs that any of us could see. sadly, in illinois and around the country, too many people are unable to find the help that they need. long before this pandemic, we had shortages of the resources necessary to care for those struggling. we've seen an increase in the suicide rate by 35% of the last decade and nearly 46,000 americans died by suicide in 2020. that's an average of nearly 300 people a day in the united states who die every day to drug overdose or other struggles. to me, these statistics indicate that we need to be more aggressive about dealing with these crises. during last month's hearing on mental health crisis, i emphasized the need for more mental health resources, better education and smarter reimbursement policies for mental health providers and services. i richard is my substance use disorder workforce act last year to increase the

we do not want a war with russia and we have to be cautious about how we approach is to make sure we don't't do that. and lastly we want to make sure that this is a strategic failure for putin. a number of people are asking the question how does this end? i think the honest answer is nobody knows. but how it should end is with russia a sicklyan going back whe they came from and ukraine being the sovereign democracy that it is and was and should always be. that's how it should end. now, that's easier said than done but i think that goal as our overall policy should be the central focus. we wantd to know what's going n ukraine and specifically know what we can to beat is supported. the ukrainians have fought incredibly bravely and better than just about anybody expected. we have to give them the help they need to continue that process. of course there are broader implications beyond ukraine. what is our policy in europe? what are we going to do to shore up defenses in eastern europe? with that question nato is more important now than it has been for a very, very long time and in partic

we can do it we can see we can we can we can feel the reactions of the other by watching on on their face and their body language. for business leaders or any type of leaders watching this right now. what's your guidance? what's your what would be your advice of how to motivate a team? i will tell you one thing. i think that. everyone needs to find the way to be able to motivate according to the purpose of what they want them to do, but there are two things that i would say one it is. always be offending. people they have a unique capability to understand when you don't mean what you say. and you won't be able to to hide that. so just tell them everything. the second thing it is that people have a tendency to underestimate. what they can and what they cannot do. usually they have actually tenders to think that they cannot do it. they don't know that. and you don't know that and you will be surprised if you ask them to do things that they look impossible how much close if not make it happen. they will come. did you have an aha moment of when this all was actually gonna work and what w

we are >> everything we do in the tenderloin, we urban outfit. an opportunity to collaborate with other agencies and we become familiar with how other agencies operate and allow us to be more flexible and get better at what we depo in the line of work in this task. >> sometimes you go down and it's hard to get up. so we see ourselves as providing an opportunity for the unhoused to get up. and so i really believe that when they come here and they've said it, this right here is absolutely needed. you can't ask for nothing better. >> the tenderloin is the stuff that ain't on the list of remedies, liked the spiritual connection to recovery and why would i? why would i recover? what have i got to live for? things like that. and sharing the stories. like i was homeless and just the team. and some people need that extra connection on why they can change their life or how they could. >> we have a lot of guests that will come in and say i would like -- you know, i need help with shelter, food, and primary care doctor. and so here, that's three rooms down

we have a phased reopening plan. as we can staff these positions, we can get closer to precovid. we're making progress already to be able to do more by memorial day, more by the end of the year. but we're still -- and i hope i'm answering your question. we're still over 300 officers below where we're authorized. eventually i think somewhere around between 2300 and 2400 officers is where we need to be five years from now. i hope that answers your question. >> no. that did. i've read stories and talking to the officers coming in and out of the buildings, people quitting -- i mean, we're seeing this again across the country. what's the mood? are people leaving still? are they looking for other work? are they looking to get out of the profession entirely? how is that affecting the capitol police? >> as you know, that's a national trend. i would say to you that post january 6th we saw our attrition rate double. clearly there were folks that rethought the job, we thought whether they wanted to continue to work here and do this job. about double what we normally see leave for the depart

we could add some weapon systems, but if we are mindful, we need to remember we are here to help ukrainians and nothing would harm them more than us flying into a hot war, having troops on the ground in ukraine and escalating into world war iii. >> nato? would you support nato? mr. fetterman: as congressman lamb pointed out, the pre-existing conditions of nato have existed for longer than the organization has. >> representative kenyatta. rep. kenyatta: article five, we negotiated it, we have the standby it. if putin is reckless enough to go into a nato country, that would make this crisis even worse. if you look at what is happening now, vladimir putin is paying a real cost for his barbaric and senseless war. what we need is a rationing down of tensions and pressure. what we need is a cease fire. we do that by continuing the approach that the biden administration has taken. that is why i am so proud to have endorsed them on the day he announced earlier than anyone on the stage because i believe to be ready for a moment like this, where he has brought together our nato allies. last week they

we have recognized that we need to do even better on how long we take to get from when we are making an award to a grantee to when we get them properly contracted and challenged by the number of grantees who are new to doing business with the city. and in response to that, we have already launched aa cross departmental strike team to comprehensively look at the cycle time from commitment to the partners receive their money to execute programs. next slide. we also recognize that system change is about supporting our partners themselves and the evolution and being able to have the capacity and the experience to, in turn, be able to deliver in community. and one example of how we have helped one of many partners and we need community leadership foundation. upon letting us know and they need more help and additional fund to address their fiscal sponsorship needs and fees. we were able to deploy another resource oewd has which is an oewd program and matches skilled volunteers with partner organizations and through that work, the community leadership is able to refresh the logo and get sup

so as we have the staffing, we want -- we want this facility opened as much as anybody. and i regret that we're the choke point, we're the problem in terms of getting it reopened fully. but i do think everybody's on board, they want to make sure the safety and security of this campus is what it should be as we reopen. so as i mentioned before, we have multiple training classes in progress. we typically would do three, four, five a year. we're now doing 12. i think this year we may end up doing 13. ms. herrera beutler: let me switch gears a little bit because we talked a little bit about contracted help to supplement in some of these instances. not to take over positions but to help with this process. i have seen reports that say about 3/4 of the contracted security guards can't pass basic background checks. is that -- so has that delayed the rollout? how has the department -- i mean, i got to believe there has to be a security company that's got a better system. how is that being addressed? chief manger: so when we first heard that a number -- the first group that were h

we need to be careful about what we think we know. i would add to that that what we do know from sociological research is there is a correlation. the older you are, the less educated you are, the more likely you are to support putin. the younger you were, the more urban place you live, the more education you have, the richer you are, the more likely you do not watch vladimir putin's propaganda. there is a reason that putin arrested him before this war. we did not know it at the time and now we know it. there is a reason she closed the leading independent television station. there is a reason he closed down and and twitter. those are all the sources where the second demographic gets their information. if they were doing well in the war, he would not be shutting them down. we should help to nurture those sprouts that might spark to inside russia. for those that are forced into exile, give them support for the time they will be there. putin overreached. he will probably be in power for as long as he is able. it will be very hard for them

we lay out the criteria. we do outreach. however, we tend not to be able to reach out to those tenants that prefer to go through broker. [ indiscernible ] often times they try not to without review. r.f.p. of course we will have final say in terms of the prospect. this broker is -- we provided existing tenants that we have. benefit of this will be to -- [ indiscernible ] we will be looking at the capacity both financial. minimum of operation experience. usually 3 to 5 years. we will be touching base. permits are required. we need to inform the broker and tenant what the steps will be. those existing permits need to be updated. we'll use the opportunity to invite tenants to gather feedback. ferry plaza is building. we want to be sensitive to that. we welcome your comments. we are here to assist in responding to your questions. i will conclude the presentation. >> v.p. woo ho: we'll now open up for public comment. is there any public comment in the room? seeing no hands raises. >> at this time, we will open the queue for anyon

we explain to everyone where we stop this, but we do not listen to those who say where we should stop seems to me, it seems to me, that's it for us. this is such an interesting dispute, political, geopolitical , this is important finland in its time. even some western films were not shown, because it would upset the ussr. this is how finland was and so on, but someone lives. well, including the collapse of the soviet union, what can i say, and the defeat of ours, what is there again to hide in the cold in the cold war, which it seems to me that my colleague says the victory of russian weapons. for example, i absolutely agree with the weighty normal victory of russian weapons. probably together with kiev by kiev with kiev well, there are different points of view, everything means prices. or maybe further i don’t know, it’s already there to tell. this and this is this story that they piled up only information wars, technologies frightened each other, and we solved these issues for ourselves. yesterday or the day before yesterday , i liked that we have a special operation here. we have a

we actually mourn the deaths we cause and while we are not perfect in how we have investigated about them or talked about them, we do investigate them and we do talk about them. sometimes we have to be driven by a better answer but we take the questions about it. it matters to us and we actually do want to get better at it and we acknowledge that we are not always perfect when it comes to civilian casualties. lots of chinks in her armor and we admit that -- in our armor and we admit that. what have you heard about? what have you heard about the west? we are throwing bodies on the street making it look like it was the russians. no acknowledgment that they have caused a single death and certainly no remorse and talk about investigating it or owning up to it or making right by it. that is the big lesson. and the ukrainians are paying for it, the russians' complete disregard for the right of innocent civilians to live their lives freely without having to worry about being killed. >> i just want to follow up on what barbara was asking about. not specific to mariupol, because you cannot co

how we provide patient care, how we provide support. in order to address some of the challenges that existed before, we've made significant changes. we knew that there would be state and federal officials at laguna honda this week to pay very close attention to everything that we were doing and making recommendations in order to ensure that we are first and foremost protecting the patients. making sure that they are safe. making sure that no harm comes to them and also supporting and uplifting the staff. laguna honda is a special place and, in fact, during the visit, what was seen were a number of things that we know can be corrected. someone who may not have taken off their gloves in a timely manner. signage in a needs to be posted to ensure that people are away of what they're walking into. some things that in comparison to a couple months ago are things that are not only minor but can also be so we still have a long road ahead of us. there's still work to be done. but this pandemic has demonstrated not only to the city, but to the co

say we -- this is what we accepted. and just be upfront about that. i guess i forgot to explain the rational. this is round two of my explaining why i did what i did. i guess the first one was obvious. it's to bring b ten into population and pretty much leaving it as is for lack of better options. sending it to d11 creates a tribulation and omi and we don't need that. the d8 border is contentious and we heard so much testimony from the very beginning from the valencia corridors and we heard testimony from the latinx community. and we heard testimony from the lgbtq community, right. we had lgbtq leaders come in -- as a queer person myself and not having said anything about it, yeah, i deserved it. and during my discussion with equality california and other lgbtq, they cascaded me. okay, i deserve it. i think it's time for us to -- i think this is a way of -- uplifting those choices and that's why i made the decision to review night the transgender community the way i did. from the conversations that i had, what apprised

we can because we kept saying we can't eliminate all damage. so i encourage people to come and help us in those districts and come to us with solutions and with that i think we should go and move forward and give cue to directions on where we want them to go and i think it's serving us well. member castillo. >> thank you, chair for your comments. sorry, i have this tendency to rotate and not to actually be on the microphone. thank you vice chair for your comments. i think great leadership. i've been hearing two different themes so far around what we would be able to explore. one is a district that has tenderloin united with soma and it sounds like exploring putting the hate not in district one. >> perhaps also not district two. let's make it clear. >> can you bring up the map so we can see what to explore here. so my suggestion would be to explore district eight and we would also be exploring a different map that's centered around tenderloin with soma. so two different maps. another being tenderloin with south of market. any amendments to that?

we moved the drawing and now we can start cutting.t it to you yes, try try always so then you'll lead the line. make sure the line stays on the right side. try to keep the lines away from you. by the way , the seam turned out great, i think that it is worth entrusting the work, that i myself take part in the creation of my art object. well, let's go further, let's go further than 60 centimeters, we begin to apply first layer. excellent on this side carefully. and this is how the finished lamp looks like and there will be three of them turned out very beautifully. even better. to be honest, what i planned. there are two coats of paint and two colors of paint inside, we used the color ivory. and on the outside, graphite and even to the touch it is very pleasant, yes. eh yes to the happiness decoration we talked about that they will need to hug to the touch, it is very cool for the interior. oh class. well, that's exactly how inside machu food is amazingly very beautiful colt thank you primed we knead the plaster walls with the building

i hope we can correct the fact that for 15 years we haven't done anything on this matter and we have a duty to do so. >> the chair now recognizes mr. kinsinger for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair man and to the chairwoman and commissioners. i was pleased to see last week the fcc announced it would conduct 2.5 gigahertz spectrum that can be used to provide much-needed broadband capacity particularly in rural areas beginning july 209th. the authority to conduct expires about two months after that so the question is given the need for congress to act quickly to expand the option authority to provide certainty and the potential 2.5 gigahertz option do you support a clean short-term spectrum authority, spectrum auction authorities of the fcc can complete its ongoing activities? >> i support an extension but under the circumstances prefer a long-term extension that is better for the wireless economy and consistent ability to make these airwaves available for the commercial process. >> working with federal partners to make the spectrum available for the commercial use what's the statu

so, we will do what we can with the authority we have. it certainly would help if congress passes a measure that enhances our ability to actually go toe to toe and negotiate for fair prices for americans. >> okay, thank you. my third topic, mister secretary, is on substance abuse. in vermont, we have this program that's working out, combining tele-health with a system where the medically assisted medication is in a wheel that can only open every 24 hours. a person can go on their app, in their home and, in the visual observation of the provider who maybe 100 miles away, take that pill. and there's insurance that there is no abuse. it's really a tremendous program, we have one person who said it saved her life because she didn't have the ability -- she had no card, she couldn't get to where she needed to be. so, is there any hope that we could have that sensible approach which we have on a pilot basis in vermont institutionalized? >> i think we've learned, as a result of covid, quite honestly, how much we can institutionalize when it comes

so, we are going to ask that we vote on -- legal counsel can advise me if we can do this in the following way -- vote on five, six, and seven and the first -- well, the non-bike-to-work day elements of 8 together, and so there a motion to approve those? >> so moved. >> chair mandelman: thank you, commissioner walton and a second. thank you, commissioner chan. madam clerk, please call the roll. oops -- >> clerk: that was ronen. >> commissioner ronen: i'm being mistaken for supervisor chan, i'll take it any day. >> clerk: sorry. so would that be 8a or something -- >> chair mandelman: well, it is 8 without bike-to-work day. >> clerk: okay. let me see. i'll make a note later on. i'm sorry, could you repeat the motion and second to approve the motion and who seconded it? >> chair mandelman: it was moved by walton and seconded by ronen >> clerk: okay. so for consent agenda without the bike item, [roll call vote] we have 11 ayes for the consent items without the bike allocation. >> chair mandelman: great. and is there a motion to approve the remainder of item 8 bike-to-work day? >> so moved, mel

we must lift pennsylvania. we must make sure we clean up our state. we bring back jobs. we improve education . pennsylvanians go up in the quality of life, not go down. we can never become west virginia and ever allow any politician to do what he did to west virginia. >> on this question it's a little bit different. i want to ask for you to raise your hands. in a way it's a yes no question but for democracy -related questions, i believe this goes to representative kenyatta. >> sign me up t. >> that's like, sorry. the moderator screws up to. i'm going to ask forquestions about democracy and ask you to raise your hand . heraise your hand if you support positions or issues i mentioned and we will discuss afterwards. raise your hand if you support abolishing the electoral college ? okay. and we will go back. eliminating the senate filibuster. all 4. expanding the number of justices on the us supreme court? okay. making the district of columbia and puerto ricous states . okay. let's go back to where there was some disagreement. abolishing the electoral college, representative

, we should and we will.s is one of the biggest problems. even look at democrats. steve ratner who was a counselor to the treasury department under obama, $1.9 trillion american bill that the democrats passed will probably go down as one of the most extraordinary mistakes in policy. we need to have sound fiscal policy. stop the irresponsible spending. make america a stronger path. it's not just to balance the budget, you have to pay off the debt. the only way we will be able to do that is with fiscal responsibility with republicans in the majority. >> republicans will not try to impeach biden for political purposes. only if he impeach as a law. congressman bob says "how can we not impeach this president for his purposeful violation of his article four section four constitutional responsibility to protect the states from invasion what are you telling them about their resolution? >> it is very clear. we are not playing political games about some phone call where somebody thought was made up of russia collusion.

and so what we did was we put together a program called. how did we get here? and i invited a scholar who i have a lot of respect for hassan kwame jeffries from ohio state came in and did a history of race relations in african-american experiences for us and then we did a pedagogical session on. okay. now you've heard this history. how do you take this into your class and teach it and we provided a lesson plan and some some approaches for teachers to take back to their classrooms. it was it was so popular that i intended originally as a one-off right? we're going to do this, you know this and then it was it was so popular that now it's a monthly program we take on an issue. so for instance last month again you talk about president right where things just last month. we did one on the history of us foreign policy. which is a little bit in the news right now, and so and how you know helping teachers. how do you approach these questions that students are coming with from a historical, you know point of view and and how has that issue evolved in our history? yeah,

and that we can be comfortable that we can defend ourselves fully because we have an architecture that's well-defended. and we should not make the mistake that the present circumstance thatted adversary might come off, but that you have to come after all of us, not just one of us. i think that's where we need to be. >> last week we heard bill burns, the cia director, give a speech down in georgia and probably said the one in the administration that spent the most time with putin over the years, i would say. and what has really struck him is that putin's risk appetite has clearly increased over time as he's thought about his legacy and his goals of reestablishing spheres of influence. how does that apply to your mind that this increase in your area of direct concern is cyber? >> i know of no one better than bill burns to make a remark of that sort and i would support that. marry that with the degree of isolation that he has, that vladimir putin has, that's a dangerous combination. if you're willing to take risks, but not fully informed about the lay of the land where you're taking that ri

not buy what we need when we need it? ie, if we were right now, are there satellite companies that can tell us, you know, what -- how many bushels of corn are in ukraine? can they tell us the refugee flow? can they do a lot of other things that we don't have to do, especially with some of the false flag information that russia has been putting out? can we go to those and say, hey, we want to buy this information and have them put it out? >> ranking member kelly, that's a great question. as we try to organize ourselves within the enterprise side of this, i think those are the questions we need to ask ourselves and pursue those strategies to be smarter, better, faster as we do this. >> i see open source, a lot of time it adds credibility rather than the other. and i guess the second question is, i would have said in my opening comments that i had some. what extent are we able to collect meaningful intelligence over the horizon and afghanistan and also are there open source things that can help us with that information that

we need to take that lesson on board as we tackle the most pressing global issues we face today. we've seen swift and sweeping sanctions have enormous force. the united states, along with over 30 countries represents well over half the world economy that includes an unprecedented suite of financial sanctions and controls on russia. the approach the president biden has taken has enabled us to impose significant cost on russia, hampering its ability to prosecute this war and to project power in the years ahead. we were able to do this, for example, because the g7 plus the european union accounts for about half of russian international trade. our financial institutions have facilitated most of russia's trade and investment demands. sanctioning countries are saying to russia that flaunting the rules and values in the international economy, we will no longer extend to you the privilege of investing with us. by joining together, we demonstrate that the sanctions are not motivated by any one country's foreign policy objectives. rather, we are acting in support of our principles, our opp

of wrongdoing that we find we are ready to investigate or we may already be investigating. and that goes to the alliance of any individual carriers to the full extent of the law if the evidence is there. my time is way over. i'm going to tell you that it doesn't make any sense we allow the ships to leave the ports. we have stuff that needs to be shipped out. if the big guys are more powerful than the united states, then we've got to figure out something else because it sounds like they do what they want, when they want but have little transparency, don't let that information get out to the general public so they know how bad they are getting taken to the cleaners and we don't have the tools to deal with it. the senate doesn't fix much, but man, if we can fix this that would be a giant step forward. >> one of the things the legislation has is if we could collect and report to the public the aggregate numbers of exports at least the public would know who the good guys are and the bad guys are. >> but in the end, what we need to know is why can't we export the products with ot

we are at war but we are supporting the war. fact that generations in america are not being able to invest in homeownership and become a part of the fabric of this country is really a crying shame, and it is very distressing. it is not that republicans are right and democrats are right. the lady who said russia probably does not have many nuclear bombs does not have a real tether to reality. if we were leaders for democracy, we would sit them down and make the ward stop. the world economy is too intertwined and the oligarchs running america are similar to oligarchs in any country. thank you very much for your time. host: thank you for calling in and participating. one more guest segment coming in. coming up, will be looking at the status of democracy around the world with annie boyajian of freedom house. that will begin in just a few minutes. ♪ >> there are a lot of places to get political information. only at c-span you get it straight from the source. no matter where you are from or where you stand on the issues, c-span is ame

we watch as things unfold. we gather evidence. we continue to develop facts. and as we gathered evidence and as we got the facts together, we ultimately came to the conclusion that war crimes were committed. i would say on this front, president biden was leader. he went out and said putin is a war criminal. and many of you raised your eyebrows at that. many people out in the public raised their eyebrows at that. now you see scenes coming out of bucha today. he's not going to hesitate to all kahle a spade a spade, to call it like he sees it. neither is the u.s. government. so as the facts develop, could we see ourselves reaching a different conclusion on that question? of course we could. but it'll be based on evidence and facts as we gather it along the way. reporter: two more quick ones osm the sanctions the president was talking about today should we expect those that th week in what's the timing? jake: expect further sanctions announce pt this is week, weir coordinating with our allies and partners on what the parameters will be, but this week we'll have ad

we have this rare moment in life, when we find who we are, and this is one of these moments. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much. i want to thank the global audience -- i want to thank the global audience who have joined us today for this important event. this now concludes the public portion of our program. and with that, i will say goodbye to those of us who are joining us online, and we will go to a closed session. thank you all very much.

didn't get what we asked for the last time so we are trying to be realistic what we can ask for but resources are not the only thing we are doing. last, time so we're trying to be realistic about what we can ask for. resources are not the only thing we're doing. we've also adopted and new asylum officer rule, with dhs, so that asylum decisions are made by the asylum officers, not by the eye jays. so, i jays our immigration judges, they won't have to do that. if there are denials, it will be a streamlined process, which should reduce the amount of time from current, for years, to six months. we also have dedicated dockets, in order to better distribute the work among our ij's. it's a combination of, things we want more resources and we're trying to streamline the process. >> i don't think -- >> thank you, senator rahm. i know that senator moran and i have a second round of questions that we would like to do. it's not clear that anyone else is interested. i don't know if, senator braun, if you have an also ran. mine are relatively brief, so i will go ahead. you are discussing with sen

we thought we didn't need it. then we discovered it was air born.hink we're seeing we have huge holes in the health care system and conversely, i think we're finding with the vaccination, what it means for everyone to have access to health care without worrying about how am i going to pay for it. so i think this is really forcing us to look at everything. it's been a very difficult time. it's going to continue to be a difficult time for people, but i think that's also getting us to look at some really critical issues in health care. >> well, thank you so much for coming on the show dr. zlotnick. well, thanks again. we'll be back with another episode of san francisco rising shortly. for sfgov tv i'm chris manors. thanks for watching. >>> you're watching san francisco rising with chris manors. today's special guest is jeff tumlin. >> hi, i'm chris manors and you're watching san francisco rising. the show on starting, rebuilding, and reimagining our city. our guest is jeff tumlin and he's with us to talk about our transportation recovery plan and some

we have a solution and the president said we want to buy american. we want to buy american. we have energy right here. we have energy security. energy independence and it was given up through a failed strategy i want to be clear, i'm not in any way saying solar, wind, geothermal. all of the implacable read every single one but no is not an energy strategy. and look at what we're doing to this country. this is a disaster and it shouldn't be a partisan fight but we can't continue to sit around here and talk about things that are completely illogical, irrational and are causing the impact to the american people we're seeing today class i'd like to thank the gentleman from louisiana. to introduce our witnesses but we will be going into recess at some point because we're going to take a vote on banning oil and gas exports from russia. i know you may want to correct your remarks when you say we're dealing with putin on oil and gas because we're going to ban oil and gas. so i want to welcome our witnesses today. we have an outstanding panel. doctor william's unlucky is a professor

we put in work conscience we know the conscience. they have inspection daily and he weekly and minute ly. do maintenance so kid's parks are safe. no one gets hurt. we are very -- responsive to the community and the community upon the ability to -- can always reach out to us. this is i 24/7 job am we then and there we try to address things rit, way. we upon we are a part of the communities and excited about that. okay. >> thank you. kathy. i thinked not see commissioner bracket. i will unmute commissioner bracket. >> commissioner you become online. yes. >> i'm here. i done have comments i think i'm the commissioners said everything that i wanted say. congratulations on this project. i commend the team present and winning this contract. mall business is a thing to applaud and one of the small business system in the bay view and that is, i think. excellent for -- not the contract and commission but this neighborhood. with this do i have commissioner make a motion? i must have it approve. item 5e. >> i second this move. thank you, commis

we have vaccines, we have masks, we have testing. there are now things in place so you and i can meet in person in the studio, just like we could not do two years ago. >> as far as republicans, some of the concern expressed their if title 42 is removed, you will see more people looking for entry. what do you think about those claims? are they justified? >> again, they are using title 42 as an immigration policy, when it is not. our immigration system is broken. that is the bottom line. congress needs to fix it. need to act to make sure there are pathways to citizenship. using title 42 to basically shut down the border is not the way to do it. it. that is what they are trying to do. >> as far as the about of people, do you think that is a legitimate concern? >> it is legitimate because for two years immigrants have not have access to come to a port of entry and claim asylum which is legal under the u.s. system. imagine you have two years of pent up rage and desperation of migrants who come to the border who have been turned away who a
