baker created the original rainbow flag in the 1970s, and was the one who petitioned then mayor willie browny it in the castro. baker sat down with abc seven news in 2017 to talk about the flag's creation, and what would be the last interview before his death. >> pink is for sex and red for life, and orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, turquoise for magic, blue for serenity, and purple for the spirit. >> while the flag has enormous significance within san francisco, many also tell us its importance reaches far beyond the city. charlie beal is the president of the gilbert baker foundation. he says earlier in the week he received an email from a gay teenager in rural pennsylvania after his school district voted to ban pride flags. >> i get these emails every week. people that are just, they become scared because there's concrete evidence that shows that after this flag has been banned in these communities, hate crimes go up. >> all the more reason, mandelman says. san francisco must remain a beacon of hope for all in the lgbtq plus community as a permanent celebration of quee

i agree with willie brown's assessment. it was a failed leadership statement because ultimately, as a leader of this city, you have to make hard decisions and things are going to happen. but what are you doing to protect the people who are most impacted and to support the folks who are first responders, who are responsible for ensuring safety and, more importantly, reassurance of the public that they will be safe. and based on all of the things that we've done in this city, we've been able to do that more so than any other time in this city's history. marc benioff is a huge mouthpiece for the city, not publicly elected. but he's called you out even recently. not you, but called out sfpd and saying, we need more officers. do you chat with him of saying, hey, you know what, you can help or hurt us in terms of the narrative? oh, all the time. we have regular ongoing conversations. but i will say marc benioff loves the city. he has a genuine love for san francisco. and just like i do, he want to see this stuff happen faster. an

. >> back to willie brown days. so i think, >> you know, given all of the things that she has, the tools at her disposal, the fact that she's been in the white house for the last 3 and a half years. she has a wide gap to overcome. i thought this debate she would take advantage of an opportunity to clear up some of the flip-flopping. you heard earlier in the debate, president said he had get your mega had about that was created was kind like a ploy. but there was some truth to it. no, at no point in the debate kamala actually explain why she flip-flopped on issues like border security on the war. but with none of that. she just point the finger at donald trump cleverly and he took the bait. but no, nobody would tell you in this debate that, you know more about how kamala harris stands on positions of policy than they did yesterday. >> so let me ask so that the trump dedicated supporters to daycare. no. but what about the persuadable voters? you and i will talk about that this week, too. did you hear anything that mig

going against d.a.s in 2003, two guys she was running against, she comes out after they said the willie brown thing. they caught you at a massage parlor and you are a dead-beat dad. good moments against brett kavanaugh, against jeff sessions and against biden. she is nervous and the team is service, she keeps tries to get in the weeds about policy. she will not win on policy. she's been overpreparing for got you moments she thinks will be able to make her win. if she has won, the media will say she's won. see how trump does. i think he's in a good position. >> judge jeanine: jessica, 28% don't know what her policies are or what she stands for. when bernie sanders is asked if she's dropping far left policies, he says, in order to win the election, "she's trying to be pragmatic in order to win the election," how mack valian is she? >> i'm sorry, does anyone running for elected office want to lose or feel okay about losing? i'm sure bernie sanders in his d darkest moments sitting there said if i had moderated -- >> judge jeanine: she will sell her leftist agenda to win? >> you mean like sell it

result, a lot of that extra stuff has little by little weakened the power of mayors that came after willie brown i was certainly the last mayor that had the authority to be the mayor. >> what most san franciscans don't know is that any mayoral candidate who wins in november will have limited authority over who leads san francisco's city departments. let's say the mayor wanted to pick the next police chief. the mayor can only select someone from a short list given by the police commission. and when it comes to hiring or firing the head of the municipal transportation agency, the mayor can't even do that and has absolutely no say in the matter because that person is appointed or terminated by the sfmta board. >> all of that has made it really difficult if not impossible, for a person really to be the ceo of a city francisco. >> therefore, 1st may argue that there are too many cooks in the kitchen slowing things down. have you ever tried to open a restaurant in san francisco? sure. the health department has to be involved, but why does it take 11 city agencies just to get the proper permits and lic

yes and appreciate you for me this is a coming full circle i saturday in the city 24 years under willie brown and a lot of people don't realize that that housing was built most of that right after world war ii and balance as temporary housing not permanent but yet 75 almost one hundred years later those buildings still stand some of the apartments with the housing authority don't have showers when we start work in a sunnyvale and worked with governor gavin newsom the idea how to reimagine affordable housing in the city. here we go fast forward actuary years ago later on the site this is a free clinic and free detrimental care moving residents into the annex will be rebuilt and reimagined i've seen it as a supervisor one of the things i wanted to make sure that residents of this neighborhood would have a priority to house in those apartments as well. and so we expanded the ban for those technical in terms of finding affordable housing working with the mayor's office of housing and community development to expand for more working families because originally this design would have 20 luxury town
