, we need poor folks housing, poor people housing, housing that the people can afford to pay for, instead of all of this what's going on now. i've never seen san francisco just neglect the senior and disability population the way they have been neglected now, and everybody ought to be ashamed of themselves for it getting like it is right now. we need some affordable housing that these people can pay for, not to go through whatever else they have to go through to try and get somewhere to stay, and if it isn't affordable, there's a bunch of housing for seniors that will be homeless. that is what will happen here. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i live in san francisco. i've been in this city for nearly 40 years, it is my home. i am a senior, and the one thing i have not heard about here yet is people with h.i.v. i've been living with that virus for damn near 40 years now, and even, though i do have housing right now, i worry about my future, i worry about what might happen to me if i can't maintain my housing, take care of my dog, do the things

on the availability of housing. the construction of housing. we have more and more people chasing less and less available housing and that of course drives prices up. you represent areas like raleigh, chapel hill, carrie, what's the situation there compared others? guest: i would say that in my district of the main issue is affordable housing, with transportation. of course, the two are related, but in the municipal elections it's all about affording housing . and that is a problem that comes with development, with growth. we have healthy growth. at ave people coming in pretty rapid clip to raleigh durham, chapel hill. that means it's a vital, diverse community. we like seeing attractive to the people who want to live there. but it does drive up housing cost among other things. develop,nter cities areas gentrification occurs where the people living there get driven out and before you know it, the housing is just or not -- unaffordable close in. the people that serve our communities and i don't think any of us think that's acceptable. teachers,

we need 100 percent affordable housing, housing for families, housing for workers. >> thank you so much. one final ask. any further public comments before we close this? seeing none. public testimony is now closed. i just wanted to say express a deep thanks to all of the diverse community members that really waited patiently to share your perspectives on this really important issue, and no matter which side you are on, on the resolution clearly on the housing affordability crisis is one of the most broadly felt issues in our city, region and state. for me personally this is one of the top reasons why i took the step to try to run for office and to be on the board of supervisors to ensure my teenage daughter is going to be able -- her and her friends and children in the city are going to be able to afford to live in the city they are going up in. this is a personal level as well. thank you for speaking out. i assure you i was listening to every comment and taking notes. supervisor brown. >> commissioner brown: thank you. i want to thank everybody for coming today. i know there is differe

the house rejected no deal. the house rejected replication. the house rejected a second referendum. come to ano agreement on what it can agree on to take the issue forward. i ampeople talk about -- aware of the question the right honorable lady asked. our customs union i think there is actually more agreement and also given credit when the language is used. we have been very clear -- we have been very clear we want to obtain the benefits of a customs union, while being able to operate our own independent trade policy. we have been clear. the labour party has said i want a trade policy pair the question ensure thisn country to be in charge of its trade policy in the future. the fact remains that we now onave let the eu by wto terms if the prime minister had not extended deadlines. in recent years, they have taken in the full knowledge we could be leaving on wto terms. will the prime minister therefore show more confidence and commit to the house that if this parliament does not pass a deal, we will be leaving on wto terms, terms by which we profitably trade with many countries outsid

military family housing. the discuss issues with availability and incentives for private developers who build and manage housing on military bases. this is just under an hour and a half. >> i want to thank my colleagues for joining us here on the day is. i notice in the back of the room, some military families joining us. thank you for enlightening us and telling us about the problems so we can move forward with the solution. in february, we heard from military spouses who told us about the unsanitary conditions in the continuing impacts these conditions have on the health of their families. in addition to our panelists, this committee and many of our members have received thousands of e-mails and letters with similar accounts of mold, lead contamination, shoddy maintenance, shoddy workmanship, management staff. these accounts paint an unsettling picture of many of our private housing developments. equally disturbing is the fact that when these families reached out to their chain of command for help, instead

another mother stated housing is hard, i go house to house. i am six months pregnant and i have a baby on the way and three more months i would like to get help in housing because i'm not going to go house to house with my baby. can we get help for this housing >> thank you very much. >> i am olivia from the coalition on homelessness and i am in support of the budget every friday go to a woman judge of things talk to the women there who are a majority senior women and women with disabilities i informed them about the decisions that are made here at city hall. i would like to read one statement from cynthia mitchell who i have seen at the drop in every week for months. cynthia says, i am one of the women utilizing the homeless centers and shelters on a regular basis. i support the budget allocating a portion of the funds to develop more city housing for single, elderly women without children. there are dozens of women like cynthia who have grown up in san francisco and are displaced and live in wooden chairs at the drop in. it is disheartening

we absolutely do need more housing. and more affordable housing in particular. a lot more of it and i will support development that provides needed housing, but i want to recognize the community in soma, particularly around this park, is doing its share. for anyone who said not in my backyard or not accepted housing in their area is ridiculous and counterfactual on its face. take a walk through soma, look all around you, you will see large residential developments, many of them new and all through the area. this is more than anecdotal. in fact over the last 10 years, soma has built more housing than the rest of the city combined. i'll say that again. soma, particularly around this park, has built more housing rest than the city combined. despite this development and density, our city has not built a commensurate amount of open space. this is a massive failure. they're the only multiuse public park in the area. and it saddens me that anyone would seek to minimize or mock the real concern this community has about the impact on the park. a community that has fought

two years later they only lost one seat in the house and gained the white house. what we remember about the chaos is because larry flint exposed to the world the infidelity of the republican speaker of the house and it threw the republican caucus into chaos. but the politics stays with republicans on the issue. i think republicans will be rewarded for principle. >> jim manley, the presidential candidates operate on a separate track from house chairman or senate chairmen. >> they sure do. i want to be perfectly clear, to be first of all clear, i agree with much of what the congressman just had to say. yes, the reality is the senate democratic caucus is going to take their own temperature and act on their own processes and not be driven by the presidential candidates. of that i'm very confident. >> jim manley, david jolly, thank you for your expertise tonight. really appreciate it. >> when we come back, history is moving toward the house of representatives and there's nothing the house can do to stop that movement. we will show you the most honorable republican memb

>>> white house consultant. there's a new report out that justice department officials have had numerous conversations with white house lawyers about the special counsel's conclusions in recent days. how much did they reveal to the president's team? >>> two reports. the justice department reveals that some members of congress will get to see a less redacted version of the mueller report than the one that's made public. will that satisfy democrats demanding to see everything. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're many t you're in "the situation room." >>> we're following a lot of breaking news on the trump administration's roll out of the redacted mueller report from now. the justice department confirming that william barr will hold a news conference at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning to discuss the report and will take questions. tonight president trump says he may hold his own news conference after barr speaks. the justice department revealing that a secon

the remaining phases, and then we have future housing development funding for future housing loans, and other housing activities which covers the staffing cost of about $1.7 million to carry out the work plan we are discussing today. here is more detail on the $98.9 million of new loans. 83.3 million will be for two new construction loans, one at hunter charge of point shipyard, at the other at mission bay south block nine. these are projects that you have already proved predevelopment loans for. and another $14.1 million for four new predevelopment loans the shipyard phase one mission bay and transbay. also, there's a possibility we may need to increase our phase four loan due to decreased rental subsidy from the housing authority. we have included a little bit of funding in there for that. a little more detail here on the $67.2 million of funding for existing loans, including eight projects completing construction and in predevelopment. these are all projects with approved funding and we are just spending down those funds. this is -- and this slide, you can see the candlestick .10 a r

mary elizabeth inn has been housing the single adult woman seeking safe and affordable housing sings 1914. and since 1996, the single adult homeless women from the streets and shelters, including domestic violence shelters. in 2009, when the care not cash program was implemented, i consider it a win/win/win situation. more guest hotels transitioned into s.r.o.s for the city's homeless population, and non-profit organizations, like m.e.i., could master lease the buildings, administer housing programs, and basically fulfill our mission. 10 years later -- 10 years later, it's the city and residents who are losing. you've heard at least one example from a tenant representative earlier. non-profits are losing, but the property owners are winning. i have a few ideas to bring to the taskforce. and effort to work with private tenants -- excuse me -- private property owners, the tenants, and other city agencies so that the taskforce is truly fulfilling its mission of improving the quality of life for residents. i ask that you appoint me to seat number four on the s.r.o. taskforce. and i thank

of writing in activism on the right to housing the right to adequate housing difficult words no what is adequate who decides what is adequate yeah so it's funny because it's so obvious what might be adequate housing what we say is that under international human rights law and there is a un committee that has talked about this through what they call a general comment that housing is not just about four walls and a roof it is about four walls and a roof but it's not just about that it's about living in a place where you have peace security and most importantly dignity and once you start playing with the idea of dignity well you can imagine what that means it means living in a place with proper sanitation and basic services toilets running water it means living in a place that's close to employment so that you can actually generate an income for your for your family your house all of it means living close to health care services child care services it means having security of tenure and that's a cornerstone cornerstone of the right to housing in other words you should not be fearful tha

we want to make sure that the kind of housing we build is the kind of housing we need in san francisco. and my district wants housing in their area because they want to live in their area. during the g.a.o., i voted no but what we had discussed with my colleagues which i appreciated, if i brought specific amendments forward, would i vote yes on it. that was, i felt, my task in four days. my staff and i had to dig deep and find out what these specific amendments we felt would be the appropriate ones going forward and a our concerns and what the are today. i feel unless we tell what our concerns are and what we want to see, i don't feel like the resolution does that or digs deep and says these are the kinds of things we want to see like an area plan for the west side of the city. i think that needs to be done. and also give time to do that. give them maybe a moratorium until they're able to do that and look at what they need. so i just felt that i wanted to duplicate the file to really state that these are the specific things that we want to work on and we'd like to see. and understand i

two million houses for families like us. two million be pending every year we need one hundred thousand we really need must be building but when we talk about affordable housing for the people who are watching in the background what does that mean to you affordable give me a price range what does that look like for you affordable housing would be something like the really low less than what was that for you less than five thousand i think fifty dollars fifty dollars for rent so would we move you know because in kibera there were these houses which were built remember and then people moved into them and then they moved out of them so migrants are asking if the government comes here today and says do you hear you've been in a party a quantum magic when a steamer like you have been shot at the end of the month to me five thousand would . move in there are no no no and because according to come i mean me so that mean in the house. cindy oh i love knocking him but only. an indian is a knock when you when you buy it says and you c

with the lead of the house confirm that the bill that is currently going to the house of lords at the moment is the biggest dog ‘s dinner of any bill that we have seen in recent times his is the government opposed to this bill and will it do everything to defeat it? well, i entirely agree with my honourable friend that this is a huge dog 's dinner. as i mentioned to colleagues when we were looking out the business of the house motion, the european union notification of withdrawal act 2017, that was the act to revoke article 50, had two causes, containing only 58 words. it was debated for five full days in this chamber and it seems inconceivable that parliament has looked at this bill for the first time last tuesday and has had just a few hours of debate across both houses. mr speaker, it is not so both houses. mr speaker, it is not so much a dog 's dinner, it is a dog's brexit, and this is not just... come on, that was all right. mr speaker... just... come on, that was all right. mrspeaker... simply just... come on, that was all right. mr speaker... simply managing this day—to—d

and he and other house democrats i talked to make this point, they say because the white house already began to testify before mueller's team in such an unfetterred way, one, and two, because that testimony is now public, that basically waives any privilege claim the white house would try to bring. but my conversations with white house officials are completely unmoved by this subpoena threat. and bob costa spoke to this too, their strategy is to fight this out in the courts. they're trying to let democrats twist themselves in knots they carry out their legitimate oversight. but the strategy for buying time is let this work its way to the courts, steph. >> nancy pelosi is hearing calls for impeachment and more and more democrats are saying they want it. what is her position at this point? >> her position is still the same, she's not ruling out impeachment completely but she's trying to focus her efforts and marshal the efforts of the democratic caucus towards beating donald trump at the ballot box. that said she makes this other point, look, just because senate republicans would like to

but the proper houses away is a problem all these years. in africa we do need i mean right now we are talking nairobi alone meets two million houses for families like us. two million that is already pending every year we need two hundred thousand we must be building but when we talk about affordable housing for the people who are watching in the background what does that mean to you affordable give me a price range what does that look like for you affordable housing would be something like the really low less than what's that for you less than five thousand i think fifty dollars fifty dollars for rent so would we move you know because in kibera there were these houses which were built to remember and then people moved into them and then they moved out of them so margaret i ask you if the government comes here today and says do you hear when i'm a party i can a magic when i see my like new hampshire at the end of the month give me five thousand would you move in there and no no no because according to them i mean me so. cindy oh i love. indi

and with supportive this house. and people have trusted their politicians doing what they ask. >> david west -- two young men with their lives ahead of them. while suffering mental health problems under the care of some in the house they tragically took their own life. if you can imagine the grief interred by their families, they have since been campaigning for change, with systemic issues and problems for five years. my right honorable friend, assure me so we can secure change that some help so tragedies like this may be avoided. >> an important issue. i extend my deepest sympathy to families and friends of the honorable lady's constituent who she referred to in her question. it is an important issue. the incidents are very concerning. i understand the local trust and the council working closely to resolve issues but we do want to ensure that we are transforming mental health services around the country and we remain committed to that. we are providing record investments in these services. we have an ambitious plan

time after time it has become clear the white house is just outright saying no to every one of house democrats' demands and that led to this today. from house oversight committee chairman elijah cummings saying, quote, this is a massive unpress dentded and growing pattern of obstruction. both president trump and attorney general barr are now openly ordering federal  employees to ignore congressional subpoenas and simply not show up without any assertion of valid legal privilege. these employees and their personal attorneys should think very careful about their own legal interest rather than being swept up in the obstruction schemes of the trump administration. and democrats hope at this point given the white house clear-cut position that the individuals they subpoena and including don mcgahn will cluz to comply on their own. however there is no expectation that will happen and what that means is likely a court battle. democrats are weighing the possibility of holding these individuals in contempt. but the reality is there will likely be lawsuits to come and that means this process c

with this housing project and this opportunity to provide housing to youth who are transitioning out, it will prevent them from following what i had to do. i became homeless at the age of 18, right after my time in foster care. i had to get back on my feet. i had to find a job. i became homeless with my immigrant mother for three months and then i made the decision to go back to school. now i'm at san francisco state university. i am one of those youth who need housing and who needs this kind of opportunity. and i'm totally for this housing project and -- yeah, that will be my time. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i live in the cayuga neighborhood behind the proposed development. i want to thank supervisor safai for championing this project. i think it's going to be a great addition to the neighborhood. my issue for this particular board, i already spoke in front of the planning council, is transportation. right now, there are 66 proposed parking spaces and green trip suggested that the real number to satisfy their criteria is more like 114. i think that it is part o

abby philip at the white house, thanks very much. a key member of the house ways and means committee seeking the tax returns dan kildee is joining us. thanks for joining us. why have you decided, you're committee chairman, to take this extraordinary step now? >> the president has broken nearly a half century of custom where candidates for president and presidents of the united states have routinely furnished multiple years of their tax returns to the public in order to provide some assurance their public duties are not influenced by their private interests but i think in this case specifically the committee is looking at policy, we are looking at the extent to which the irs audits and enforces federal tax laws on the president. the routine process of auditing presidential tax returns is not a matter of law. it's a matter of practice at the irs. so it's important for us as we did this question to get our hands on these documents in order to make that assessment and obviously there are serious other public interests that would be serve

white house is on defense. after "the new york times" reported chief of staff mulvaney warned kirstjen nielsen not to bring up concerns about russian interference in the upcoming election with president trump because it wasn't a great subject. mulvaney dispute that go bing t but not denying it saying the trump administration will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections. sources tell cnn officials often go out of their way to not talk about russia with trump because he sees any talk about russia's interference as an attack on his presidency. while top intelligence officials warn it's an ongoing problem, the president's allies and top advisers are downplaying it. >> i think the investigations and all of the speculation that's happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy. >> reporter: while the president may not want to talk about election meddling, he is welcoming another fight. >> we're fighting all the subpoenas. these aren't impartial people. the democrats are tryin

won back control of the house. a little different story on the senate side, but on the house side there was a blue wave last year. we know that. the question we have been asking is what powered that waef. we have some clues but now we have comprehensive deep data from the census bureau, and it gives us a look at who voted and why the democrats did so well. a couple things first of all, just overall turn out, think back to the last midterm, that was a big midterm for republicans. the overall turnout was 42%. the last was 53%. this was staggeringly turnout. turn out up up everywhere. every group turned out in bigger numbers than we normally see, but some turned out, the surge was just massive. look at age, we talk all of the time, trump, the republican party in general. 66 turns out in 18, 69% in 14. a gain there. work back on the age like. 30 to 44, a a 13 point jump, the younger group of voters the highest leap, nearly doubling from 20% in 2014 up to 36%. we have been talking for a long time boy if democrats could

in the white house? >> i feel like what you're saying is this can could have a chilling effect on what is share would the u.s. government from 94telligence partners. is that what you're saying. and doing a review to say what is the effect of our breaking of alliances, and the foreign intelligence sharing over the last couple years. are we just getting info from authoritarians whose backs we scratch? >> we knee the president after khashoggi was slaughtered. let me ask you what power congress has. dud you work with your oversight committees? do they have the ability to get to the bottom of this and protect classified information? >> they do. when ib work at the clunten white house, they had just taken the senate in 1994. so we were democrats dealing with the republican house andsont. we're eager to investigate what we were doing. i can tell you those republican committees were not stopped by anything in pressing forward fl information. seeking it. looking for accountability. i see no reason why it would be

the white house at the house democrats request was out-of-bounds. >> the harassment of bill barr and the disrespect is disgraceful. i think people are mad at bob mueller and his investigator for not getting the president in an interview, for shutting down the investigation. >> in a march letter to congress, barr volunteer to testify about special counsel robert robert mueller's findings, that there was no collusion, and his decision aloh deputy rod rosenstein that the president's actions did not meet the legal standard for obstruction. the house committee ranking republican said the demand to use staff lawyers reflects the democrats agenda. >> they do not want to go to an impeachment hearing. they just want people to think that they are. >> the hearing will come to order. >> on wednesday, barr was scheduled to testify before the senate judiciary committee will members will adhere to the standard format. lawmakers, not staff. >> there is no reason for outside counsel to interview him. he is not on trial. he is reporting to congress' findings. >> the house judiciary committee is voting

has anyone in the white house seen any of the report? >> i'm not going to, you know, as i say, i'm landing the plane right now. you know, i've been willing to discuss my -- my letters and the process going forward. but the report's going to be out next week. i'm just could not going to get into the details of the process till the praen's on the ground. >> did the white house see the report before you released your summarizing letter? has if the white house seen it since then, have they been briefed on the contents beyond what was in your summarizing letter to the judiciary committee? >> i've said what i'm going to say about the report today. i -- i issued three letters about it, and, i was willing to discuss the historic information of how the report came to me and my decision on sunday. but i've already laid out the process that is going forward to release these reports, hopefully within a week. and i'm not going to say anything more about it until the report is out and everyone has a chance to look at it. >> and so the attorney general

the house. there are moderate impacts because it's building next door but this isn't an issue where there's significant air and light impact to the next door building. in terms of the structure, the architects are here to answer any questions. we disagree it is structurally more reasonable to raise the entire house and build you want nae -- underneath the house. we've had multiple discussions, and we just don't agree about the building of the property. the proposal, we think, is not structurally feasible would add significant cost to the project. in terms of other structural issues, there will be -- this will be thoroughly vetted by the building department. they raised possibility of building issues. this will be reviewed by the building department. it's already been reviewed by the board of supervisors, and we're here today on the variance which we think was properly granted. thank you. >> i have two questions. in the brief, it says this property, as you alluded to in your comment, that this pr

there's no such thing as low-cost housing, affordable housing. you can have low-income housing that is directed for those who cannot afford. but there's no such thing as low-cost housing. and that's why because we own the land at treasure island, it is basically given to the project, so that we can meet the affordable requirements, for those affordable housing projects that are built on treasure island, which is not the case on other parcels in the city, where they have to acquire the sites. acquire the sites for whatever the land cost is, and then build the affordable housing. and so there's a great i think reason to build on treasure island first, because we certainly have the land, let's take advantage of it and then with looking at the zoning, be able to make sure that we can get the most maximum number of units from that precious land that we have. >> commissioner richardson: this is very interesting. so reality check for the city now to pursue aggressively city-owned land and definitely will be talking to the mayor and the supervisor to rea

i'm sure all members from all sides of the house, will want to join me in paying tribute to all of the generations of royali navy submariner's, and their families who have sacrificed so much and all those involved in protecting our nation. tomorrow marks 70 years and the founding of nato. let me assure the house that under this government, the united kingdom will continue to play a leading role in nato as it continues its mission of keeping nearly 1 billion people safe. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house i will have further such meetings later today . >> thank you very much. >> i wanted to raise another important issue, from the university, the issue regarding the nhs pension for doctors and consultants. the consequences are, doctors retiring early, toning down additional shares so paying high tax bills to the government , resulting in longer waiting times for patients, a shortage of doctors and consultants and raising as soon as possible to inform me regarding an answer her . >> prime minister . >> i'm

it touches the white house. there r dozens were dozens of p involved. >> only today, the congressman bipartisan call from foreign affairs committee against the cancellation of state department moneys to the northern triangle. to the three countries where it counts. we know it works. it stopped the flow and reduced the flow during one of the previous migrant surges. the president is against it. >> he's a career guy with jeh johnson and his predecessor. no comment from your calls to homeland. >> the super caravan which you go to the people, you expect the folks who know the most about it and i was able to get nothing. i guess you got to go to the source, the president. he's the one that puts his information in this tweet. are you getting your intelligence from? if i can't get an answer from the department that deals with this, what are you talking about? >> children were separated even starting before they acknowledged what jeff sessions announced, the separation policy. they had a trial program. they had no proce

the white house they disagreed. they felt it was necessary to deal with what they see as a national emergency at the southern border. all of this as democrats are slamming the president for tweeting a video that begins with comments congresswoman ilhan omar made at a speech last month, comments that critics say minimize the terror attacks on september 11th. the video president trump tweeted shows congresswoman omar saying some people did something and shows various news clips from 9/11. democrats are condemning it. senator elizabeth warren said it is inciting violence, calling it disgusting and shameful. the latest pushback is coming from house speaker nancy pelosi. in a statement released this morning she says the president should not use painful images of 9/11 for a political attack and calls the memory of 9/11 sacred ground. arthel. arthel: meanwhile, house democrats are still trying to get president trump's tax returns. update us on that. >> reporter: initially they wanted to see those tax returns six years of t

increases in housing prices that we are now facing the prospect of six i.p.o. and the potential impact on housing prices that that will cause, and again, we looked at the six, and apply the one 20% average, something -- some companies would have a greater impact, certainly cooper, the largest one on the list, with the highest valuation. it would probably be on the high side, higher then the average, maybe some of the smaller ones might be lowered, but taken together, we felt that the 1.8% was a conservative and good measure to use. so facing the issue of income inequality, we did present a few policy options as supervisor mart requested. i will run through these very quickly. first of all, there are a number of programs in place already in the city that attempt to address income inequality. many of them are workforce development efforts, economic development programs, affordable housing programs, subsidized childcare, these are the types of things that do exist, and the board of supervisors could consider for additional funding, particularly if they are aimed a

speaker, the house is not in order. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. mr. mccaul: i want to close with this. as the son of a world war ii veteran, a b-17 bombardier who bombed the nazis, was part of the d-day air campaign, it saddens me that we are still struggling here today with the same issues that the greatest generation defeated. i urge my colleagues to support this motion and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? >> i rise in strong opposition to this motion. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> mr. speaker, i rise today with solemn responsibility. i carry the legacy of the history of the jewish people, a history of persecution, of discrimination, of scapegoating, but also a history of perseverance and survival and the embodyment of that perseverance is the establishment of the state of israel, the home of the jewish people. mr. speaker, i strongly condemn boycott divestment an sanctions movement against the state of isra

we have a large student population budget but don't have enough housing to house students. the difference is this project would basically help people like me because people that have housing insecurity and have these issues coming out of a system that is broken and coming out of a system that doesn't hold you up. so for me, it would be very helpful if i was in the situation to get one of these houses. it would essentially lift a giant weight off my shoulders. a giant weight some may not be able to comprehend or seen the people i have seen living in the streets because they had nowhere to go. thank you. >> thank you, mr. hernandez. next speaker, please. >> hello, committee. thank you again for allowing me to speak to you guys. i'm a student at san francisco state university. i'm currently doing any undergrad in humanities and i experienced homelessness for a little while. i'm not here to give you a sob story but a few statistics. in 2017 there was a statistic over 23,000 foster youth will become homeless after they emancipate after the age of 18. it's urgent especially for p

house. it would be a tough hurdle to get over for republicans to try to do something if they failed in the first two years of president trump's presidency. fred? >> all right, boris. tell us more about what trump tweeted earlier about the mueller report. put into context why he did that. >> reporter: yeah, it's been almost two weeks since the attorney general, will bar, released his summary. of course, mueller did not find any evidence of collusion, but he left the issue of obstruction of justice open. the president doesn't seem to get that. look at what he tweeted earlier today. i have not read the mueller report, yet, even though i have every right to do so. no conclusions. on the big one, no collusion. recommendations found, thanks to a great attorney general who found no collusion. anything handed over would not satisfy them. the president making an inaccurate claim that the recommendations to the attorney general. robert mueller did not make recommendations. he wrote, as is quoted in th

house democrats are committed to fight for the people. that is what we have discussed over the last few days. we have learned together, we have enjoyed each other's company, focused on the creativity and the energy and the brilliance and the drive to collectively get things done for the people. we have had a successful 100 days. we are forward to an even more successful second 100 days as we continue our journey fighting for the people. let me yield now to our very distinguished vice chair of the house democratic caucus from the commonwealth of massachusetts, katherine clark. rep. clark: thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. thank you all, all of my colleagues for being here. i am proud to report that 100 days into this new majority, the caucus is strong, we are focused, we are unified, i am getting things done for the american people. and to putting those foundations of our for the people agenda ahead of us. and to work, to make sure that we are putting those issues that people talk about around their kitchen tables back on the front burne

you had house republicans losing their majority. so there was really -- not only the characters we had been covering for a long time, but also the immigration and these massive fights. we knew there was a book, but we definitely got luck di by what happened. -- lucky by what happened. >> over the past two years, we have also had the special counsel investigation happening. now that it is out, when you look back at what you were writing, does it jive with what you were reporting? what you read in this book? >> -- stayed a little bit away from the special counsel's investigation because we felt like it was a book of its own really. we didn't feel like we could get our arms around it in a way that would do it justice. we did allude to it. we did interview devin nunes the congressman from california who was the chairman of the house intelligence committee about it, and interestingly enough, he spoke about how -- he spoke about bob mule and the book -- bob mueller and the book, and he spoke about how bob mueller would find no collusion,
