these are not housing. they are what is known as non-housing housing. they are speculative investments. so i would urge you to take that into consideration. thank you so much, and thank you for introducing this. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> members of the board of supervisors, my name is greg pennington, i moved here at age 20 in 1977. i've lived in the same apartment for 42 years. and to my horror, veritas just bought my apartment building about three months ago. during that three months, the water has been shut off ten times, the elevator is out of service, the intercom is out of service, there are workmen coming in and out all the time, endless construction, continual noise. it's been a total nightmare. and nothing like what i had my first 42 years. i live in district 3, aaron peskin, i'm very happy to have you as my supervisor. thank you for putting forward this legislation. we need affordable housing in this city. i'll tell you right now, my entire life is here. if you allow veritas to put me out on the streets, which is what they want to

when he was the housing secretary. i welcome my right honourable friend's statement, particularly his comments about wanting more people to live in safer, greener, beautiful areas, something i'm sure we would all welcome. but, of course, some people are fortunate enough to live in those areas already and they will be concerned about overdevelopment. several labour mps pressed the housing secretary over the billion pound fund to remove combustible cladding from high—rise buildings. can he confirm it's his intention that no leaseholder should have to pay themselves for the replacement of cladding on their block? leaseholders at the moment are paying an awful lot of money for waking watches. will that be reimbursed as part of this fund? shortly after grenfell, the select committee recommended that all cladding that is not of limited combustibility should be taken off existing buildings of high—rise as well, as banned from new buildings. so the £1 billion is certainly a step in that direction, but i think we want to a

they wouldd and said get input from the white house and house republicans. they just reconvened a couple of minutes ago to restart that process. we expect the vote by the end of the day. this is a fast-moving bill. the legislation did not come out until last night. a lot of folks are getting familiar with what is in there. we expect democrats to widely support it. house republicans and the white raised a bit of skepticism but have not completely ruled out supporting it. host: nancy pelosi and her office releasing that bill, late yesterday. it is called the family first coronavirus response act. here is what nancy pelosi put out. free coronavirus testing for everyone who need to test, including the uninsured. paid emergency leave with 14 days of paid sick leave and for jean -- up to 30 months of paid medical leave. front-line for workers, including health care workers and other workers for those who are in contact. we are expecting a house floor vote today. where are we on the senate side. has mitch mcconnell brought anything to the floor -- where are we on t

we finally got a completed bill from the house yesterday. ensuringo continue that frontline health-care workers have all the resources they need. we need to directly help american workers and families face this uncertain. we are examining policy tools to put money directly and quickly into the hands of american families. we also need to move swiftly and boldly in a major way to help american small businesses survive this disruption and thrive. we are preparing bold steps to ensure main street can access and credit during this extraordinary time. let me outline what we are doing. created three and task forces among senate republicans. with coming tasked up with what should be described as the next bill. we are trying to reach an as to what senate republicans and the administration favor doing next. with regard to the bill that came over from the house, there was some discussion whether to amend that because we all know the bigger proposal is necessary, but i have decided we will go a long as soon as the senate can get permission to ,ote on th

we recommended that to the committee. >> same house, same call? >> different house, mr. president. we need a role call. >> role call, please. (role call). >> without objection the resolution is adopted unanimously. >> madam clerk, i see it's 2:32, so let's go to our 2:30 item. >> we have commendations from five members beginning with president yi, supervisor stephanie, safaye, mandelman. >> we have several commendations. let's try to keep every commendation to less than five minutes so that we are respectful of every one's time. so thank you all for being here today. the first person that i would like to bring up is my commendation, ken rich. are you in the room? [cheers and applause] we wanted to recognise you for all of your years of services. for the past 24 years, ken has served at the san francisco office of economic and workforce development and at the planning department and for the past ten years, he has been director of the department of -- director of development at oewd and a principal adviser on planning and development issues. t.ken has lead the city's team n a series

some of the ideas under discussion for the white house by all the boards. we can come back and pass additional targeted measures into the economic problems at a later date. in the immediacy of today, the policies the house will pass will provide much-needed help and significant economic relief pumping money into the economy and for the localities, states and american people. the senate should pass this bill immediately following the house before the end of the day. i plead with my republican senate colleagues to pass theow bill now. it's been carefully thought out. its programs are directly aimed at people they are not ideological. and it is desperately needed to show they american people they can do things that actually benefit the people who are in trouble if tha and that helped e american economy. i would plead with senator mcconnell put the bill on the floor. now of course the central problem remains contending with the spread of the coronavirus itself are testing regime has been completely inadequate. we are still far behind other countries in both the

let's go to the white house right now, our chief white house correspondent jim acosta is joining us. jim, you're hearing the president is losing patience with some of the restrictions now in place? >> reporter: that's right, wolf. and we should report, a source close to the coronavirus task force says dr. anthony fauci, one of the administration's top medical experts, is continuing to recommend appropriate public health measures to combat the pandemic, even as white house officials, including president trump, are toying with the idea of scaling back on these social social distancing guidelines. the source said everything is on the table including easing back on these measures. but fauci, the source said, is trying to steer officials toward the safest path. with an economy that's all but shut down and wall street teetering on the edge, president trump appears to be toying with the idea of easing the nation's 15-day social distancing period, aimed at flattening the deadly curve of the coronavirus. the president tweeted, we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself. at the en

to say california has a housing problem is an understatement. crisis is the word many use to describe the situation. one reason -- affordability. the median price for a home there is more than half a million dollars. and rental rates for one and two bedroom apartments in san francisco, oakland, and san jose are among the highest in the nation. averaging between 2600 to 4500 dollars per month. for a two-bedroom. the state's also dealing with a homeless crisis. and during our listening tour it by in the bay area, on a six figure salary. >> in california's latest gold rush- someone's struck it rich. new construction everywhere- new multi-millionaires are snapping up every house that hits the market, and making it just about impossible for old-timers like t-bird and her human steve to afford a home. how do you live now? >> how do i live? oh, just a sleeping place. i store some food here, i can make coffee here, no big deal. it's kinda like camping. >> steve didn't want his face shown, but he's lived in his '85 dodge van here for nearly three years.

a house destroyed but a house that can be rebuilt. the man who stands at the center of the rebuilding operation and who shoulders much of the nation's concern over drug abuse, dr. stanley f. ulyss. >> the aim of the national program is to rehabilitate the estimated 100,000 narcotic addicts and estimated half million persons in the united states who regularly abuse nonnarcotic drugs. because drug abuse and drug dependence is apparently the result of physical, psychological, social and other factors, the research supported by the national institute of mental health or carried out directly by the national institute of mental health must range from basic studies on the mechanisms of drug interaction, addicting qualities of new drugs and how they act in the body to study social patterns of drug abuse as well as studies of new methods of treatment and rehabilitation. >> deep in the heart of kentucky's blue grass country is the treatment of narcotic addicts. since the first prisoner patient was admitted in 1935, the federal hospital at lexin

and the house of representatives. there's discussion in washington this week about emergency economic relief who are workers who are losing out because of the economic impact of the coronavirus. because the president is so personally wounded from his impeachment is not on speaking terms with the speaker of the house nancy pelosi, that's going to have to fix in order for any relief to reach the american people. >> y'all have to come back tomorrow. thank you very much for starting us off. >>> after the break a member of congress who represents a district just north of the quarantined community of new rochelle, just outside of new york city, joins us fresh out of a briefing with house speaker nancy pelosi, about response measures. we'll ask him what steps are under considerations on coronavirus. >>> also ahead, bernie sanders went dark after last night's disappointing losses, including michigan, we'll get a reality check from our own steve kornacki. >>> and one of the fastest-moving political waves, just what is driving

with respect to the house-passed legislation, i understand the house chose to proceed with their planned one-week recess despite not having finished processing their bill. as of this afternoon we're waiting for the house to reach a decision on possible technical corrections and submit a final product to us here in the senate. we cannot consider the legislation until we get it. but i know that senators on both sides have spent the last several days carefully studying the house proposal, and i know that all of us are eager to act quickly to support american workers, families, and small businesses. even more broadly, senate republicans are absolutely convinced that the house's bill canal only be the -- house's bill can only be the beginning, just the beginning of congress' efforts to secure our economy and support american families. this -- this is a unique challenge, a unique challenge. unlike in any other tough circumstances, our short-term goal is not simply to bring economic activity right back to normal starting tomorrow. instead, our task is to secure the historically strong foundatio

when you have a voice vote in the house you canave a handful of members in the house to do that. but what he wanted was a full recorded vote. they had to cast aoll call vote. but in order for him to get a roll call vote h would need a second support about a fifth of the chamber to go that way. but in order for nancy pelosi and the republicans leader to deny that from happening, they had to goac intal quorum to deny thomas massy theatecond he needed in order to forceol thatcall vote. that means republican and democratic members from all over the country hado travel ba to washington today just to preventhat f happening, and that infuriated members from both sides of the aisle who are concerd about their well-being, their family's well-being, concerned about traveling in ohe middle this public health emergency, and as a result, it was quick voice vote and that's what ultimately happened. thomas massy got overruled here. and the bill went intoaw just hours later. robert: what a different scene in the senate, susan, a 96-0 vote. when you step back and look at thatipartisanship, what e

for the people in the white house, who know this sets back the white house's efforts to calm the markets, to calm americans, and to try to keep some kind of response apace with what's coming. the testing has been drastically delayed. people are going to learn that. we're in early stages of the number of infections because the transmission is happening but we don't know, you know, who has tested positive. as tests became available and the infection rate skyrockets -- and we hope that the hospitals are not overrun -- this is just really not something the president can use lies and defiance and denial and marketing and showmanship to get around. and so it's just going to be very difficult for people around him who keep trying to run to the cameras like dr. fauci, our leading infectious disease expert in the country, to try to sort of, you know, give us some morse code of good information to make sure that they do so in a way that's effective to us and doesn't offend him. you can see a lot of officials bending over backwards. >> when the surgeon general goes on tv on sunday to talk about how

and then after that go to the house will just slow things down. i believe the best way to get this going is in a bipartisan way from the outset. we have our ideas, they have their ideas, but leader mcconnell, speaker pelosi, leader maccarthy, myself, and the white house sit down and come to an agreement rather quickly. the plan leader mcconnell laid out will slow things down in a significant and genetic way, and off in anot start bipartisan way, and above all, it should be bipartisan. senator? much --durbin: this is this is a matter of life and death. the state of illinois has announced the first coronavirus vitality. the person passed away while being hospitalized. i also learned from the department of public health there was some worry about a nursing home, where a person came down with the coronavirus infection. then they turned around and tested every resident in nursing homes and every staff member. in the words of the director of public health, dozens of positives in one facility. she told me, just to let you know, we are going to use so muc

this, i'm sure every member of your lordship's house will agree, is a terrible situation. and it is an utterly medically unnecessary situation. assessment can take place via telemedicine, webcam or on the phone. guidance from my department is absolutely crystal—clear about that. the doctor can also rely on information gathered from other members of their multidisciplinary team in reaching a good—faith opinion. but we do not agree that women should be able to take both treatments for medical abortion at home. we believe it is an essential safeguard that a woman attends the clinic to ensure that she has an opportunity to be seen alone and to ensure that there are no issues. lord bethell. and shortly after the bill cleared the lords, there was an announcement in the commons. i have to notify the house, in accordance with the royal assent act 1967, that her majesty has signified her royal assent to the following acts — the contingencies fund act 2020 and the coronavirus act 2020. order. so, the coronavirus bill — with its sweeping emergency powers for the government an

we do not want to be boxed in our houses. we want to be outside regardless of the weather, but this virus is a mean enemy. everybody recognizes that. we will follow the science, follow the virus. hopefully what we are doing now will allow some areas to come out sooner than others, but that is yet to be determined. areas andthe urban the role mass transit maybe creating, gathered together on the same subway or train or whatever, commuting back and forth, you will see out of manhattan it spreading into surrounding neighborhoods where people commute to the city. you will probably see that in other cities as well. the virus lives quite a long time on certain surfaces. people are crowded together in mass transit and going home. my fear is as we ramp up the testing you will see a lot more cases. unlike china where they don't count the a symptom medicaid is, we do here -- asymptomatic cases, we do here. we have got to do much more on testing. we are ramping up, surging up in that capacity. as we work towards some sort of medicine to

white house myth number two, white house tunnels. in fact, we were just talking about this before class the existence of tunnels who used them and why did they use them. so, one of the stories there were tunnels beneath the white house that allowed for a quick escape, that one could actually get all the way to the potomac river and that dolly madison used the tunnel to escape the octagon house and lincoln had an escape tunnel. unfortunately these are not true. the architect of the white house did build james hoeng, several sewor systems. dolly madison probably wouldn't have climbed through the sewor. she wouldn't have wanted to travel that way. and these were installed for running water but there really weren't any full-size tunnels anyone could have used. now, here of course is octagon house the madisons lived for six months after the burning. and it's just down the street from the white house. now, during the civil war, genuinefield scott did suggest the possibility of adding a tunnel between the white house and the treasury buildi

all i did was affordable housing. david: to people who are not real estate developers, what does a developer really do? stephen: i mean, it is the one who finds the land, hires the architect, works through the plans, makes sure the building gets built on budget, on time. then manages it when it is completed and assumes all of those responsibilities. david: you became one of the say,r developers of, let's low income housing or subsidized housing in the united states over a period of time. stephen: just before i started the company, lyndon johnson had these great society programs that really set up the government to provide the funds for affordable housing. then they had the section eight programs that the government initiated after. so, it was a question of taking the government subsidies and applying them across the country. and i saw, when i read it, this is too good to be true. i started a company developing in 1972, and by 1980, we had built something close to 8000 units. ♪ david: let's suppose i want to buy an a

the motion is adopted. >> well, after some last-minute drama on the house floor this afternoon, the house overwhelmingly approved a $2 trillion coronavirus spending bill. it went to the president's desk. he signed it moments ago, and we're likely to see this, it's $350 billion for small business, 240 billion for health care relief, deliver up to $1200 to americans. basically, it's a bridge loan for everybody. is probably the best way to look at it. in some cases the direct payment is not a loan, but it is a bridge. garrett haake is on capitol hill, catches up what has been a bit of a bizarre and extraordinary day, and obviously a huge week. so, garrett, we expected this to pass. i'm surprised that they were able to get it done today and didn't have to bleed into tomorrow. how did they get through this drama as fast as they ended up doing? >> well, congressional leaders in the house put up the proverbial bat signal late last night they needed to have enough for a quorum today when they realized that thomas massie, the republican from kentucky was going to call for a recorded vote. and memb

matthew: white house lore. if we go back, there's not really -- it kind of repeats the story verbatim that we know but at least "the washington post" acknowledges that there's lore to it. it may not be entirely true, we're just not sure. what about the final one? any ideas? >> kind of using it as a way to be critical of the president? matthew: how so? >> because it's talking about how they're trying to take down, not because it's old, but they're trying to talk about how he wants to take it out as a negative way to betray the president. matthew: so you think there's a negative portrayal of the president? it seems like this article is pinning blame on melania trump. >> that's why people would read it. matthew: what about the language before jackson magnolia? >> so called. matthew: so called. this is the "new york post." regardless of your politics, you can see how the stories have continued to the present and even when stories are put out there, there are slants to how the story is told. it was very different bu

but we need the house to make adjustments. and the house bill that went over, new york state got $17 billion. in the senate bill, we get $3.8 billion. and, well, you just, big spending. we're not a big spending state. i cut taxes every year. i have the lowest growth rate of the state budget in modern political history. okay. so we are frugal, and we are efficient. i'm telling you, these numbers don't work. i told the house members that we really need their help. in terms of numbers, total tested, we're up to 130,000 people. new tests, we're up to 12,000. as of yesterday, about 28% of all testing nationwide has been performed by the state of new york. state of new york is doing more testing than any state in the united states of america. and i'm very proud of the team on how we have mobilized and gotten this testing up and running. people ask how does the testing work? any hospital in the state can perform testing. you can walk into a hospital in buffalo, new york, if you show the symptoms and meet the protocol, you can be test

she left the white house. she moved to l.a., and she is now back. they said she is a calming presence for the president and that there would be a task force meeting, and then before they go out to the news conference, they all gather in the oval office where they sort of strategize on the plan. and hope would be one of those people who would kind of help steer and guide the president towards a more measured, more responsible tone. and so she has played a big role behind the scenes. that being said, of course we saw thursday and especially today the president did not sustain this tone. the president is capable of discipline for short periods of time, but he often sort of tethers his mood to cable news cycle and that's why you saw that frustration erupt today at a number of reporters, but especially nbc's peter alexander. >> dr. frieden, speaking of these white house briefings, there are straight-up falsehoods. there are mistruths being voiced from the podium and sometimes, let's be honest, from the president of the united states, stating falsely yest

of the house. in a the senate, it is the vice president. but the key difference is that vice presidents are elected by the electoral college and the public at large, and speakers are not. the senate did not always have a vice president who was of the same party. from the majority party's view, giving power to the vice president to the same degree the majority party in the house might give to the speaker could cause a lot of problems if the vice president was of the other party. so instead, what happens, in the senate, each party established their top party leader whom they elect as effectively the most powerful person in the senate. for the majority party, it is the majority leader. but in the house, the speaker, because the speaker is chosen by the whole house but effectively by the majority party, the majority felt more comfortable giving the speaker more authority. so there is a majority leader, but really, the top leader of the majority party in the house is the speaker of the house. susan: bef

the president said earlier today as it stands now he cannot support what the house, house democrats have put forward. the president also made it appear as if a payroll tax cut, something that he wants might not be a part of an immediate solution that might be put forth up on capitol hill. melisssa: one of the problems it would take money to get too long to people when you look at the bill put forward. i'm sure they will work it out. blake, thank you. connell: capitol hill, what the latest is, speaker nancy pelosi says the house, quote is ready to move on a coronavirus relief package and edward lawrence is following with all of that, and joins us from the very latest. reporter: source on the house ways and means committee says there are still some issues to work out but they are planning toehold a vote on the stimulus package later on tonight. house speaker nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steve mnuchin had their fourth phone call back and forth to work on language of this agreement. on senate side, senators going home right now for their recess. we have videos of senator chuck schumer

we have a competent white house physician here. i would leave to question up to them. >> number of tests. -- >> north carolina had said received a couple hundred red t. >> as i explained, the original development of the test by the cdc, is a test that was geared more for a public health situation, they send it to state and local public health authorities when someone comes into a doctor's office to get a test, they talk about whether they really need it and person orders, that traditionally for in-- disease that approach works, it appears now that does not work when need to blanket the country in, that hel -- they have been engaged right now, the fda, cdc, and all of the government agency have been involved in working with that group to get it revved up fixly, quickly, hate to give dates, i am hearing that some should likely happen in the next week or so, not months, but many more tests. other thing that important, there was a considerable amount of misunderstanding, original guidelines for whether you could get a test was restrict
