and the white house property. when you have an incident like this, does it mean shutting down a number of streets around it to control the crowd? >> exactly. so what -- again, this is -- the security posture of the white house is based off of con centric rings of protection that go outward from the white house. again, we don't know what caused this incident. we don't know if this was -- if there's, you know, an attack, a secondary attack, somebody else involved. so the secret service by protocol will go ahead and, again, for the safety of the public, push the public back. this incident leaned on the north grounds so they'll push the public back beyond la faye yacht park. as a safety measure, to ensure there's, one, the public is safe and, two, mitigate any secondary attacks if it was an attack. >> jonathan, thank you so much. we understand the president has been briefed. cnn's boris sanchez in florida traveling with the president. we're going to check back with him. jonathan, we're looking at a live shot. a number

they all leave because of the housing costs and the housing cost is due to not having enough housing. this gives an opportunity to build more housing and that's why i support it. thank you. >> hi, supervisors, my name is mark. i'm a resident of telegraph hill. and i'm a renter. i'm not a native san franciscan, and apparently in that city, that makes me a second class citizen. i work for a nonprofit that fights for immigration reform, i don't make a ton of money, i don't work for a corporation and it's hard to live in the city with the rents the way they are today. i think a lot of the other folks out here of my generation have expressed those same sentiments. i want to keep living here. i want our health care workers to work here, firefighters, police officers and they're having to leave the city because the city has done nothing while we're in urgent housing crisis. people can barely afford to live here. local control has failed. it's time to give the state a chance. oppose this resolution, support 827. >> hi, i'm eric, from district 3. sb 827 would never have been drafted had neighb

one is, this white house is, and a lot of ways, more accessible plan reviews white house is. some of this changed when general kelly came in. it would not be uncommon for hope hicks to see you and say, hello ashley, hi. i think the president is in the oval office if you want to stop in and say hello. i was talking to someone and they said, outside of the oval office you are likely to see a preacher, and elephant, or something like that instead of the president. and the obama white house, i remember any little story i was know. they had to what sorts of questions will you be asking. what is the topic? will this run on the front page or on page 17. it was very managed. the trump white house is not like that. you also have an acute sense of what he is thinking. his tweets or what he is thinking about in that moment. i do not buy that story that he is strategically hovering up one chaotic thing with another. it is just what he is thinking. to your original question, this was especially true at the beginning. the president consumes a lot of his news through the television. that is

other blacks called it the white house -- called at the white house to make political appeals. in 1863 in august, frederick douglass, accompanied by a u.s. senator, met with lincoln to discuss several matters of state. months later, frederick douglass described his reception. upon arrival at the executive mansion, he found the stairway jammed with white office seekers . since he was "the only dark spot " he would expect to wait half a day. but in two minutes, after i sat in my cart, a messenger came out and invited mr. douglass in. i could hear the eager multitude through,s il my way damage, i knew they would -- dammit, i knew they would let through. douglas was immediately taken with the president. met with a man who impressed me more entirely with hissincerity, devotion to country, and the determination to save it at all hazards." douglas describes the interview as a man in low condition needing a high one, not greek meeting greek, but rail splitter meeting n--. he was impressed that the president called him mr. douglass. in a letter describing the conversation, mr. douglas w

jobs pay for a range of public benefits where housing pays for affordable housing which is reasonable but would not fix what is isn't working and adding more money for parks and complete streets. as we said, there's an extremely limited number of place to put jobs in san francisco and none as good as central soma. by contract -- contrast there's many placeses that would be peril in exchange with the plan and we need to remember the larger context relative to the 17-block area. . and we heard to raise the commercial orientation size from 30,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet. as currently written the plan says if you're site is greater than 30,000 square feet you have to be commercially oriented. if we change that threshold to 40,000 square feet we can capture the wells fargo site and 330 townsend. here's a map at the reference point of where the parcels sit. combined they can result in about 800 more units. there's both tower sights and they require skinnier towers which are more appropriate for what we expect in the neighborhood. the second idea is to rezone the idea proposed to c

in supportive housing and then they would avail themselves of housing funded by this collaborative in hopes they could get a job and earn enough to move out of the publicly -- city supported funding and housing on their own. the other area is focusing on homeless who are in shelter rather than on the street is simply because it's very, very difficult to have success in employment for a homeless individual who is on the street and who doesn't have a stable place to go night after night. the success numbers, the positive outcome numbers for that population were very, very low compared to other interventions, employment training interventions for other populations. and unlike 20 years ago, 25 years ago when these programs were first funded, where a job might have been a path out of homelessness for folks who are on the street, given our extremely high rent now in san francisco, that's really no longer a viable path. even if someone on the street gets a job, a minimum wage job, it's very unlikely that he or she is going to be able to take that money and move into housing without support f

, affordable housing. and the reverend norman fong has fought for our communities since 1990. so without further ado, reverend fong, please. [applause] >> you know, mayor ed lee always says he wanted us to get together under a big tent. this is it! this is it, right! i'll be really fast this time. i need your help. you're going to help me bless this. we want all the good vibes on earth. i want to say that michael, swords, raise your hands, thank you! it adds so much meaning in life when we know that our job is to get all the vets off the streets. and they can do it. they delivered it heart and soul. we can do a little housing and community services for the families, but i just want to super thank plow share, you've added diversity and meaning to our work. in chinatown. that's what san francisco is supposed to be about, right? embracing diversity. so today, you all should be super smiling in the rain, ok, ok. we're here under this big tent, ed lee's tent, to wish all these good blessings on this site. i nee

clearly this white house is different from other white house. but i don't think anonymous sources have been serving our journalists very well. not only because they frequently turn out to be false. and also because reporters don't seem to understand this white house and president. howie: a lot of these anonymous sources seem to be in or around the white house. hope's departure came after that closed door testimony where she is alleged to have acknowledged white lies on the president's behalf. she didn't try to spin it. she just said i'm out of here. ed: the press put a negative spin on something donald trump did? this is the same song playing over and over again. when you played those clips, is it live or mem oorkd or memorex. but to be fair and balanced, the white house is feeding it. there are people inside the white house other fringes of the white house, advisors to the president. some people puff themselves you have and they are not really advisors. but i have never seen a white house where people like to dump on themselves and dump on the

a possible job at the white house with that ceo. >> right. >> and then a meeting at the white house with the ceo of the division at citibank that deals with this. that is just -- it is just -- it is very common sense if you are in business and in government, you have to separate those two. >> absolutely. that is ethics 101. you can't take on an official action for a benefit for your family or business which you are still a part of. that is just common sense and it is something that unfortunately is not being enforced in the white house. >> it is sort of beyond belief, really, when you think about it, jared kushner could have carried on with his business. there is nob in america who said you can't carry on business but people get selected for white house jobs or government jobs or senate approved positions who say, can't do it because i can't disentangle myself from financial doings. he could have been a successful business man with his father in law as president of the united states without having a job in the white house that actually requires access to sensitive information and me

he did a very good job when he was in the white house. and we hope he has a wonderful career and hopefully he will have a great career ahead of him. but it was very sad when we heard about it. and certainly he is also very sad. now, he also as you probably know, he says he is innocent and i think you have to remember that. he said very strongly yesterday that he is innocent. so you will have to talk to him about that. but we absolutely wish him well >> chief of staff kelly four star general could not stop the president of the united states from saying that and he did not stop him from tweeting this. quote, peoples' lives are being shattered and destroys by mere allegations. some are true, and some are false, some are old and some are new. there is no recovery for someone accused. when he is gaslighting, it falls under the chief of staff. >> are you saying that the white house counsel never learned until last tuesday that there was any allegation of any sort that was any level against rob porter. >> again, i am not going to go into the spe

so how is the white house responding? >> there's certainly been a lot of new heat and scrutiny on jared kushner. part of this goes back to the whole reason the questions of nepotism were questions in the first place. because of the relationship with the president. the perceived access anyone on the outside would have in dealing with kushner for anything that would relate or overlap with business. and it's also the complicating factor of trump world with people with extreme wealth and financial complicated pictures are serving in government. we don't often find that in senior position, in the white house. a lawyer for jared kushner says that he has, in fact, kept his distance from the kushner companies. saying in a state that mr. kushner has had no role in the kushner companies says joining the white house and the government and has taken no part of any business loans or projects with or for the companies after that. so trying to say that even though kushner bears the family name, a sign of party, part of the big real esta

rapid-fire headlines coming out of the white house. hope hicks, one of the president's closest and longest serving aides, out. jared kushner reportedly raising millions for his family business from inside the white house. jeff sessions being called a cartoon character by his boss. all while special counsel robert mueller is digging into what candidate trump knew and when did he know it about the dnc e-mail hack. >> wikileaks. i love wikileaks. i'll tell you, this wikileaks stuff is unbelievable. >> it's been amazing what's coming out on wikileaks. >> this wikileaks is like a treasure trove. >>> the gun show. president trump unloading on live tv, negotiating with congressional leaders and taking both sides by adopting a surprise new stand on gun control. only to revote on twitter today. >> you can't buy one, you have to wait until you're 21, but you can buy the kind of weapon used in the school shooting at 18. i was just curious as to what you did in your bill. >> we didn't address it, mr. president. >> know why? because you're afraid o

he did not ever add on to the house. the house but you see now is what mason built in 1759. most other founding fathers did actually have third floors and vernon.ike mount mason saw people like debtrson going into deep doing things like that. today we think it would be like keeping up with the kardashians. mason did not want to be in that position himself. the house that we see today is what he ended up within his lifetime. we are going to have a chance to its for of the spaces in the house, look at george mason and was, why we remember him today, as we go through. stepon't we set inside -- inside? we are stepping into the central path of the manson. it is where visitors would have come in during his lifetime. this was very decorative and beautiful. it meant to show off that he belonged in that group, that higher level in society. when visitor stepped in this might be the only space that some visitors ever saw a gunston hop. some visitors might be asked to wait here while the manservant went to go see if george mason was available to have visitors and to wait in the space. v

pure madness at the white house? a new report on president trump's reported dark days of anger and rage. the president appearing at two humor filled events. admiring the president of china and raising new concerns. >> the president instinctively seems to have a bit of envy for autocrats and dictators. >> he envies and admires their style of leadership. i think he envies the way that they don't have to listen so much to their critic s in the wy he does here. >> and the tariffs and tradeoff, the risks and rewards. >> what donald trump wants to do is fulfill his campaign promises to the american people and defend american workers. >> there is so unnerving for markets because the worst case scenario is very bad. >> and hopeless at the white house. how a matter of trust drove her away, but we now may not have seen the last of her. but we begin with some fresh insight into what happened during hope hicks' behind closed doors testimony with the house intel committee this past week. some are speculating the details she provi

. >>> tonight a new white house shake-up. but also breaking right now, donald trump's top economic advisor, gary cohn out, and the russia probe, the storm now hitting after the calm. it has been if you think about it, months of silence. several witnesses in the mueller probe, keeping their silence until this week, they're speaking out. it began of course with sam nunberg who did his first on camera interview on this show last night. but this is much broader than sam nunberg, after he spoke about his mentor roger stone, as i just mentioned, roger then spoke out in this unusual interview with chuck todd, it's another interesting development in the news about the russia probe, i'm going to have a breakdown of roger and why he matters and why he makes trump nervous later in the show. so that's two witnesses right there. in a moment, i'll be joined by a witness who was interviewed by mueller's team about george p popadopoulos, you don't have to listen all that closely to these stories to see something is happening in the mueller p

san francisco, for instance, low income teacher housing, low income housing and homeless housing. let's have a presentation provided, see the potential there. i really feel strongly on that. the precedent has already been set. decades ago, the union lent -- 100 million was lent to build a hotel. years ago, i know that mayor brown did that. with regards to the state level, we do have lemgislature, if we are lucky, new some get there's and we have all this funding. so we have all these new challenges, and let's know them, and then, we can present them. we can even invite the legislators every now and then to our hearing because they talk about that all the time. we have all these opportunities, we have everyone right now that can help us to carry this ball, and the supervisors are, you know, very receptive. so i would like to have that in your presentation. i think it would be great if you can add, every time you make this presentation, to actually have those financing in there. i was looking at some of the materials that you have covered before. and at one point, in one of your pre

the white house will say takes joke. what does it say when the president of the united states stands up at a fund raiser and he says, maybe we should try that, president for life, after xi -- he's always expressed his admiration for people like xi. i think the president with the presidency for donald trump has been that it's not as powerful as he thought that it was going to be, that congress does have a role but the courts do have a role that his own justice department, for example, has their guidelines about how they act and what they do that might go against what he wants them to do. he's frustrated by that and that's pattern in what he's saying. it's not saying anything at all and never has really about the human rights abuses. i remember when those college basketball players were locked up in china. they -- you know, they were facing a potentially stiff sentence for something that was bad but relatively minor and never once did president trump say, you know, we don't think that this punishment fits the crime. he doe

. >>> plus, more reshuffling in the white house. the president nominated his personal physician to replace veterans affairs secretary david shulkin. >>> north and south korea will have a summit next month. it will be the first in nearly decades for the neighboring countries. good morning, everybody. it is thursday, march 29th. i'm yasmin vossoughian alongside louis burgdorf. reports yet that john dowd raised the prospect of presidential pardon for former national security adviser michael flynn and campaign chairman paul manafort just as special counsel bob mueller was building a case against them. dowd's conversation with michael flynn's lawyer occurred sometimes after dowd took over last summer as the president's personal lawyer at a time when a grand jury was viewing evidence against flynn on a range of potential crimes. the times also reports that the pardon discussion with paulen manafort's attorney came before his client was indicted in october. one person familiar with the outreach said dowd over the summer relayed to manafort

when will millennials be t dominati housing market in a way that people are excited about housing. thefd showed up, in the data. builders are always worried about landic . the bigger thing they are seeing an effect on is labor inflation. >> cole, let's talk about specific stocks. let's start with home depot. it's long been considered a proxy for the housing market. it hit a high, up$207 in january. has been falling since. 176 dollars. is it trying to tell us something about the housing market? >> in the interim, that's how some people could read it. if you look back ten year, thouill, i mean, it's gone from the mid 20s tenears ago to 2 so and now back to 178 roughly. people have made sevenfold on their money in ten years. we have seen a period where they decided to sell and take it to lower price. >> you areis saying i profit taking not foreshadowing a crumbling housing market. >> home depot's most profit is when home are inlace and every 30 to 50-year-old woman want to watch chip and joanna on fixer upper and make their home prettier. we are still below an averagepe od of people s

house of representatives. sir, pursuant to the permission granted in clause 2-h of rule 2 of the rules of the u.s. house of representatives, the clerk received the following message from the secretary of the senate on march 5, 2018, at 10:12 a.m. that the senate passed, senate 2372. enate 2248, senate that the senate passed without h.r. 3656.t, signed, sincerely, karen l. haas. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair sarah sanders will brief the press at 3:00 p.m. eastern. and later we'll hear from betsy devos speaking to education officials in washington, d.c. lye this afternoon at 4:15. that'll be on c-span3 as well as vice president mike pence and u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley, they'll be speaking at the american-israel public affairs committee conference in washington, joined by congressional leaders live at 5:00 p.m. eastern. >> tonight on "the communicators," democratic f.c.c. discusses net neutrality, spectrum options and how to expand throughout the u.s. she's in

house oversight committee. trey gowdy sent a letter valentine's day to the white house giving chief of staff john kelly two weeks to answer questions on why rob porter, the former white house staff secretary and accused spouse abuser, was allowed to work with an interim security clearance for so long. last night the talking points, the white house just refused the request. a move that prompted the top democrat on the house oversight committee eli outcummings topping ask gowdy to issue a subpoena or step aside to allow the rest of the committee to vote on it. i want to bringing in political science professor cristina greer and sam seder, host of the majority report. cristina, there's a fascinating thing happening between this white house and the republican-controlled congress in terms of oversight. there has been none and then it seemed maybe there would be a little bit. what is your bet what we see as the next step from congress here? >> we've been talking about this over a year. my biggest worry and biggest fe

kristen welker is in the white house briefing room. i just think it is worth pointing out, before we get to the substance. sarah huckabee-sanders has gotten into a habit of carrying these things on. letting them go longer than they probably should while not answering questions. while deflecting and while saying things like i've answered that many times. april ryan's and hallie jacks specific questions got general fleeting answers. it is an unusual thing to watch. >> well particularly on the issue of stormy daniels. and she was pressed repeatedly about why she wouldn't get specific on that point. so the headline as it relates to stormy daniels and then i'll go back to gary cohn, she was pressed on the new revelation that daniels is using the president saying that the nondisclosure agreement is not valid because the president didn't sign it. sarah huckabee-sanders pushed back and saying the president denies all of the allegations and then said this is a matter already worked out in arbitration in the president's favor and then stopped an

but of course when you are looking at this white house, one thing we can say is that the white house does appear to be spending a tremendous amount of energy on back swiping and dealing with depart tours. more than 1 in 3 trump administration staffers left the white house in first year. twice the rate of george bush first year, 2ri7 el the obama first year in office. here's a look at the swearing in. january 2, 2017, staff, you see them all. a year later, well, you can see for yourself, a lot of them are gone. fired. pushed out. quit. our senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny begins our coverage. gary cohn last one standing to some supporters of the president. have you been talking to sources. what happened here? >> reporter: certainly is significant. don't move markets. chief economic advisers can indeed set policy and move markets. talking to a lot of people here, it has become clear they had a good relationship of course for a long time, perhaps surprisingly so to steve bannon and other populous and nationalists inside the white house. but it was the fight over the last wee

nbc's kristen welker is at the white house. there has been quite a bit of reporting, while wilbur ross always shows up for photo opportunities, he falls asleep in meetings. >> reporter: right, he's been somewhat of a lightning rod, steph. as you point out, he's been in the president's corner when it comes to tariffs. i had a chance to speak with him a short while ago and pressed him on a number of topics including what republican leaders are saying, look, we oppose this idea of slapping new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, we think it's going to cause a trade war, but if it has to happen, there should be carve-outs for our allies like canada and mexico. secretary ross leaned into the idea just a little bit today, steph, pretty significant. take a listen to what he had to say. >> we are trying to do a surgical approach. the president indicated that if we can work something out with canada and mexico, they will be exempted. it's not inconceivable that others can be exempted on a similar basis. >> reporter: so you think it's

for that white house to exist, the white house that speaks for the president, that white house has to know what the president actually thinks, or what the president is actually going to do, or what the president actually did or what the president actually said. and there is only one person in the trump white house who knows those things, and that the donald trump. and so when the white house press secretary says the president has denied everything that stormy daniels has to say about him, the white house press secretary is not telling the truth. the president has never denied a single word stormy daniels has ever said about him. all we have so far is the white house press secretary claiming that the president denies it. we have never heard the president deny it. the president has never tweeted that he denies it. the white house press secretary, as far as we know, has never even spoken to the president of the united states about stormy daniels. >> have you sat down with the president to talk about stormy daniels? what has he told you that he wants us to know about this topic? >> as i j

in this housing crisis. at this board, we've talked about how to build more housing so students are not competing with our everyday households, families, seniors, in our competitive housing stock here in san francisco. i first want to acknowledge the san francisco conservatory of music for answering our call and looking to build housing near their campus, and also ways for students to walk to school and not increase congestion in the area. also to make sure that in procuring a site, where there's rent-controlled units, that they had spent this time over the last couple of years individually meeting with all of the tenants, assuring that they would get adequate housing during construction and that then a right to return with rent control back to a unit in this actual building. it was a very sensitive subject and i know when the conservatory first came to my office and i was hesitant to support because this board has shied away from removing rent-controlled units in san francisco. it's a position that the boar

believe me, everybody wants to work in the white house. yeah, there will be people, i'm not going to be specific, there will be people that change, they always change. they want to go out and do something else. as is their custom, the new york times has added a new layer of intrigue regarding mr. kohn's sudden departure, his plan to leave also followed conversations mr. kohn held with the president in recent weeks about the possibility of replacing john f. kelly as chief of staff. the president never formally offered mr. cohn the job, those people insisted. they had discussions with him about whether he would be interested. cohn had threatened to resign in the wake of the president's comments about charlottesville, but remained and went on to shepherd the tax cut legislation. his resignation comes almost one week after hope hicks resigns. this is make no mistake an all time record in the modern era for turnover in the key positions around the president. put another way, this is a picture of the swearing-in at the white house back on januar

but it's clearly bothering the white house, it's bothering the white house. sarah sanders does not want to be dragged into this. does not want to have to be answering questions about this. and this is something i think, frankly, the president thought he had cleaned up and put aside before he came into the white house with these contracts and with these payments. but these women are coming forward now, eager to tell their stories. and i think there's a real movement here in the country that feels like they should be able to tell their stories. >> ari, yesterday, stormy daniels' lawyer was on your show, michael avenatti, and he said that by entering the lawsuit, president trump has come to grips with the fact that he knew about this nondisclosure agreement. what does that mean for the president moving forward? >> well, this is the most fascinating part of all of this. i can show from this filing on friday, it's just remarkable. and i don't think it's got a lot of attention, because a lot of other remarkable news that has broken. but let me read from this suit.

housing. office projects as well as money for transit and safe streets for walking and one to one replacement of pdr space. the office sites provide substantial funding for community benefits. and beyond the community benefits, the office projects are themselves tied to office production. 4 of the 5 products include housing on their sites in addition to office space. three of the projects would include 100% affordable on their properties. there's even more on the slide. the commission could consider shifting office uses to housing but also increasing the height limits for housing. adding height would necessitate additional analysis of urban design and economic impact and even more extended conversation with the community. revisiting the plan's core principles if central soma were to shift from a mixed-use neighborhood from a uniformly housing district. here's what i would mention is that the delay increases uncertainty. we've worked with community members for several years. it achieves signifi

party's house intel doc. what does your reporting indicate what the status of roger stone's prior knowledge of the impending lacks or the hacks and leaks from wikileaks? >>ing what we reported this morning is that roger stone told two people in mid 2016 that he planned to meet with, talk with julian assange who runs wikileaks and told one of those individuals that he was told there would be documents in. the wikileaks repository that would prove torturous for top democrats including john podesta. these are claims that roger stone made mid-2016 months before these wikileaks documents were released. stone it's important to add has told us that he own rawles mentioning that he was meeting with assange to one person and that his reference was a joke. >> just to be clear, he knew about the podesta or mentioned it prior to that becoming public, correct? >> that's what one person has told us. that's correct, yes. >> and natasha, you reported on this and you reported a bit on the degree to which stone appears already

after he gets fired from the white house for gambling, online gambling, probably using a white house computer for it, tens of thousands of dollars in a shot, that guy immediately gets hired by the trump campaign to help pay the gambling debts and keep him close to the election. >> the reelection. the 2020. it's going to be -- it's sort of a dumping ground for people who can't make it at the white house or people as you just said, people the president wants to keep close, like really close. >> john, this guy is being investigated for tax crimes. >> yeah. >> and gets really pulled out of the white house, just strong armed physically out of the building. and that sounds like a first qualification for hiring at the trump campaign. >> right. look, the white house in normal times, the white house has the highest possible standards for hiring. and the closer you are to the president, the higher the standards are, in theory. and the trump campaign has no standards and had no standards in 2016, and will have no standards in 2020. but i will say it raises interesting questions given that this

house koum. good evening to both of you. . hope hicks is out today one day after the appearance before the house intel. what's your read on this. >> i'm not sure the reason she is out. obviously it's been a rough time for her. i've read the explanation that she was contemplating this for a while, the stress at issue, all that. but also the fact that she was read the riot act by her boss could have triggered -- as said in the last segment, could have triggered the departure. >> you and john -- jack, you and john have both been white house counsel. does this rk work in is it routine anyone testifying before the mueller team comes back to the white house and he debriefs the white house. >> you know, when ken starr interviewed people ordinarily they would have their own lawyers. but the president's lawyers would communicate with those lawyers, because we had, you know, a client that had something in common. and our case, you know, we had the president had outside lawyers representing him in his perso

believe me, everybody wants to work in the white house. they all want a piece of the oval office, they want a piece of the west wing. not only in terms of it looks great, it is a great place to work. it's tough. i like conflict. i like having two people with different points of view. i like watching it. i like seeing it and i think it is the best way to go. i like different points of view. but the white house has a tremendous energy and we have tremendous talent. there will be people, i won't be specific, but there will be people that change. they always change. sometimes they want to go out and do something else. but they all want to be in the white house. so many people want to come in. i have a choice of anybody. i can take any position in the white house and i'll have a choice of the 10 top people having to do with that position. everybody wants to be there. and they love this white house because we have energy like rarely before. okay? thank you very much. >> mr. prime minister, last year you criticized the president for drawing a lin

among the potential housing sites listed are market rate multifamily housing. how likely is it that we'll be able to place anybody in mark rate multifamily housing that's not covered by rent control laws or anything else? how likely is that? >> i'd like nellie to respond to that question, commissioner. >> i'm just curious, why would they do this? yes. >> most of our current portfolio consists of market rate units. >> they're market rate units? >> that is correct. >> and covered by -- not covered by rent control in any form? >> we have probably a very small percentage of that portfolio, which is covered by rent control. >> and then what is the inducement for the property owners to take in tenants like this as opposed to, in today's market, when they can get so much money for vacant units? what is the incentive for property owners to rent to the clients? >> well, how this programme structured is that there is a portion of rent, which is paid for by the client and then the rest can be subsidized through this programme. so, essentially those market rates are being

it's a huge distraction for this white house. >> this white house -- you know this white house is full steam ahead. we look at the stuff that's happened, the trade deal with korea, the fact that he just fired and hired a new va secretary. there's no muzzling of him. what he's doing is doing the right thing, which is not talking about something that has nothing to do with his presidency, has nothing to do with his candidacy. it is fair to raise questions and issues about whether or not michael cohen -- how he got the money. did it come from the -- that is the issue of michael cohen and ms. clifford and ms. clifford and michael cohen, nobody else. >> with the amount of people that have been fired s it really full steam ahead? it seems like there's not a lot of people shoveling the coal to keep the steam engines going. >> if it took two people to do all the things this president has been doing, i think it's fair enough to say they're doing a good job. >>> coming up, protests continue in sacramento over the police killing of an unarmed 22-year-old man in his grandmother's mother. i'll spea

excuse me. 10 former white house chiefs came to the white house and gathered around the table to give him their best advice. agreedl told him and all that he needed to be empowered to be effective as white house chief. of course, donald had no intention of empowering him as we found out. most of those chiefs came away feeling not very optimistic about his chances, feeling he had not prepared seriously. one former white house chief put it rather unkindly. he said rights previous had the attitude of a personal aide and cruise director. host: what did he mean by that? guest: he meant that reince priebus did not do any serious perforation for the job of white house chief of staff. it's an enormously important job and requires an extraordinary skill set. it requires a kind of infrastructure of deputy chiefs and things that you have to know in order to run the white house well. in this former chiefs opinion, priebus had not done any of that preparation. priebus would argue that donald trump was a unique president. donald trump is who he is and he was going to run the white house like the 26

the bill would result in the more affordable housing due to greater housing production. but wait a couple of paragraphs later it says given the broad scope of up zoning under sb-827. study would be needed on local land values. it's hard to know without economic analysis what the impact will be. even today, on the forum, senator wiener appeared and those discussion about the bill a spokesperson for the bill in support of the bill law professor when asked about whether or not any studies have been done increasing and housing supplies lead to more affordable housing and he says basically no, i'm not aware of anything. it's a big experiment to under respect to this bill and what the impacts might be and the impact will be permanent and i remember revers able and when the towers are here they're stay and planning and it will never get it back so we'd like you to help ask you to help us stop this bill and do whatever you can to help us do that. it can't be amended. it has to be sent back from where it came. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. good afternoon, commiss

is this a sign that the white house has lost its direction? >> i think since day one the white house has been directionless because trump changes his mind a lot. he pursues new initiatives without telling his staff. and i think what we saw yesterday was him coming out of his shell after a week where we hadn't seen much of him. he had almost been in like a spring hibernation because after stormy daniels, he didn't want to, you know, come out and get harassed by reporters asking questions. and so -- but he wants a lot of energy from those rallies all across america. and that is where his base is. he is talking to his base. i imagine the ethics people will probably be filing complaints about what happened yesterday. >> let's talk about david shulkin's departure here. he's obviously making the media rounds and then appearing on "morning joe" like we mentioned later this morning. what are some of the most surprising things that we're learning about his time serving this administration.? >> i think the most surprising thing for me has been that pres

when was the white house made aware of that trip? >> the ambassador from china came to the white house yesterday and briefed members of the national security team who then briefed the president. >> sarah, alton sterling. charges against the -- >> can you speak up? >> there were no charges in the alton sterling police shooting. what did the president have to say about that? particularly as he is a strong supporter of police. then you have the issue we're in the midst of the issue that happened, shooting of a young man in california behind his grandmother's house with a cell phone. >> certainly a terrible incident. this is something that is a local matter and that's something we feel should be left up to local authorities at this point in time. >> he was strongly behind police. he supports police, as much of america does. but wants to weed out bad policing. what does he say about weeding out bad policing when you continue to see these situations occur over and over again? >> certainly, we want to make sure all law enforcement is carryi

long-term housing. since 2004, hsh and the city has rehoused over 14,000 people in supportive housing. we do this through a couple different models. obviously new build of permanent supportive housing, as well as master lease of existing buildings. this is a great opportunity for us to expand permanent supportive housing in our community. again, this was designed for people experiencing chronic homelessness with the highest barriers to housing stability and the highest service needs. i'm going to ask john to join me up here to explain a little bit more about the lease, and then, i can talk more about the program design. >> thank you, emily. john updike, director of real estate. good morning. so negotiations for this began unbelievable back in 2015. here we are, finally, with the deal, and we're really pleased to have this transaction before the board. this is a ten year lease. takes us through 2028 plus two five year options for renew als. those would be for the greater of 95% of market rent, and we est

in the house, there are 116 members presently sitting in the house. the majority of them are republican. there are 76 republicans. they will need the majority, 58, 59 people to pass a bill. they have the authority as they have the authority to introduce any legislation at any point. they haven't been able to bring this bill to the floor because they simply do not have the numbers. we are looking at sheer numbers. if they did have the 59 members they needed to pass this bill, they would have brought it to the floor. here is another point, a very good point to make. physical a republican majority who basically crafts the legislation. since we are the minority, we have to fight for every bill that comes to the floor and gets agendaed. they basically pass what they want. so, really, the fact that they haven't brought it to the floor and the fact that they had to table it friday and now we are looking at bringing it back monday is very telling. the students came up and the parents. this movement must continue. it has done more to shape policy than we have

>> you don't know how much veracity any of this has because different people in the white house tell reporters different things. i will say this. i've served on six administrations. i've never seen such chaos, and it means a lot because the world is changing. republicans are saying, what is he doing? on guns he changed around completely. who knows what he'll do tomorrow morning? >> they got half a million dollars in loans from various banking institutions and money lenders after white house meetings, after kushner actually met with some of those company officials. what red flags does that raise for you? >> well, this administration, saying they're going to come in and clean up the swamp, have made the swamp worse because there are so many people in this administration who have financial interests, broad financial interests, not the least of which the president himself, and they intersect with what the president has to do. when you come into the administration, you need to get rid of financial entanglements so there wouldn't be an appearance of a conflict of interest. this administrat

affordable housing. it's not true that the more housing you build, the more affordable it becomes. as others have mentioned, look at hong kong where housing is 18 times over the median income and the most crowded city in the world. and rental apartment is $3500 a month. compared to san francisco as of 2016, was 18,000 per square mile. why can't we learn from other's failures. i'm asking to you reject this legislation, it has no basis in reality, no matter how you amend it. it will only increase economic unrest, upending every plan that contributes to the housing allocation requirements. >> my name is dennis. i urge you to support tresolutin opposing 827. it's a final resolution for replacing, the middle class, working, elderly, but ma massachusetmass they made sure that the suburban counties would not have to share the burden of providing housing for the workforce. tech is building campuses bigger than the pentagon, but next to no housing. 827 could have come out of the trump administration as another me

the white house is saying not so fast. stressing there can be no talks until north korea takes, quote, concrete and verifiable steps toward denuclearization. also breaking, new evidence in the attempt to silence stormy daniels. showing the president's lawyer used a trump organization e-mail account to manage the hush money payment to the adult film actress. we have full coverage definitely the president accept north korea's offer of talks before anyone in his administration thought it through? let's go straight to our senior correspondent jeff zeleny. the white house now playing catch-up. >> reporter: no question here that any meeting of this magnitude is complicated, to say the least. the president clearly getting out in front of this yesterday evening announcing himself as we came on the air just 24 hours ago. now the complicating part begins on this. a white house official told me moments ago the invisitation has been extended and is still accepted. the complicating questions over whether will have they have the meeting

he's on the house intel. he said this, he goes, hey, i want this house investigation to end because we have gone off the rails of being able to objectively do our job. do you agree that the house intelligence committee is off the rails and they can't do their job anymore? >> well, i thought that was a really interesting comment because he wasn't talking about the substance. >> no. >> i at first thought he was going to say let's end it because i don't like where it's going, but he's basically just saying we are not getting anywhere. again, it's not my position to comment on what they do. i'm going to concentrate on doing our role as best we can and so far we've been able to maintain a bipartisan approach to this, and we're certainly going to continue to try to do that. >> all right. and do you believe that devin nunes was trying to harm mark warner? do you believe he leaked this information to harm mark warner? >> i don't have any evidence to justify that conclusion. somebody did, and mark warner, by the way,

with the white house chief of staff. and the president tries to navigate family issues. he is also attempting to deal with policy issues, of course, at the same time. among the more pressing, what to do about gun violence in our country. it's been more than two weeks now since the parkland shootings. not only is the white house no closer to any new legislation on guns, the president nearly sent his party into shock when he made these remarks earlier this week. >> take the firearms first and then go to court. if it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures, i like taking the guns early. take the guns first, go through due process second. >> he didn't stop there. the very next day, mr. trump seemed to go against everything republican party had preached about trade when he threatened sweeping tariffs on steel and aluminum. that is not the kind of thing you want to spring on the chairman of, say, the senate finance committee, especially when it happens to be republican senator orrin hatch of utah. >> peo

does it mean that there is great energy in the white house? >> i mean, just sitting here for the last like 15 minutes listening to your show, don, like the chaos is so palpable, whether it's the stormy daniels suit or gary cohn leaving in atiaa tiff over tariffs or reading on cnn.com that trump has authorized anthony scaramucci to attack his own chief of staff. i mean -- like, he can tweet there's no chaos, but chaos surrounds everything that trump touches. it's been -- that's been true his whole life and particularly knew n true that now that he's in the white house. >> and i think it's true because anthony scaramucci has not denied the stories and i don't think he would freelance anything like that, especially about the president's chief of staff. chris, what do you think? >> well, wiyou know, there's grt energy in a house on fire or in a nuclear meltdown, too. this is without a doubt the most dysfunctional white house in modern history. and maybe you can remove the word "modern" at this point. you have not only a president who is incapable
