I heard it pissed the president off. I decided to buy it. Reporter that phrase neatly describes the reaction the book has inspired here at the white house. Its completely tabloid gossip, full of false and fraudulent claims. Reporter the president and his team are expressing outrage at the books depiction of an administration adrift, rife with infighting, and constantly on the verge of chaos. Overnight the president tweeted, Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. Some senior cabinet officials, including the secretary of defense, are politely dodging all questions. Others like the secretary of state offer carefully worded rebutt rebuttals. But on fridays today show, author Michael Wolff suggested all of trumps inner circle have little respect for the man they serve, regardless of what they may say publicly. My credibility is being questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who has ever walked on earth at this point.

So in essence in the majority of california. Moras attorney visited him in the detention facility where hes still in custody. For me it sort of broke my heart to see him sitting across the table and having done nothing wrong whatsoever. Hes not a flight risk. Hes not a security threat. Hes not a criminal.

Lets take a listen. He urged the board of interviewers, urging the board to adopt lower distance limits from sensitive sights and prevent neighborhood caps that would ensure everyone has safe access to cannabis. Please welcome state senator scott weiner. [ applause ] thank you, ryan. This is really, really exciting. The number of years and the amount of organizing and working that it took to get us to this point where we end at least part of the war on drugs, where we End Prohibition of cannabis. We know from our experience with alcohol and other substances that prohibition doesnt work. Where we actually embrace this product, which has made life better for so many people, which is a legitimate business that employs people, that creates economic activity. This is just a momentous day for San Francisco. And in San Francisco fashion, it took us a few extra days to get it done. But we got it done, and we now have legal adult use cannabis in the city of San Francisco. You know, there were so many steps in this process. I want to just tip my hat to the men and women who for decades and decades organized and worked to get us to this moment. People who were arrested, who spent time in prison, who went to hell and back to move us away from prohibition and towards legalization. The men and women, mostly men but women too, who during the hiv crisis, the worst of the hiv crisis, were working so hard to make sure that people simply have access to medicine. People living with hiv who were sick and who were at risk of going to jail because they were connected to medicine, to make peoples lives better. All the people who got medical cannabis legalized in the 1990s in california, and then everyone who got us to this point, and then of course we did have that almost hiccup at the board of supervisors. But i want to thank supervisor sheehy and others for making sure that we got a rational zoning plan in place for cannabis in our city, something that is not overall restrictive. And now of course we have another barrier because there are always hurdles and barriers with this crazy person named Jeff Sessions who wants to take us back to the 1950s on many different issues around race and gender and Sexual Orientation and everything else, but including cannabis. And you know what, he doesnt know what is going to hit him in terms of the bipartisan backlash against his ridiculous announcement the other day. And i believe that we will be able to preserve access to cannabis in california and in other states and that we will effectively tell the federal government to butt out. Finally, i want to just reall rl compliment apothecarium. Ive lived in the castro for 20 years, so this is my neighborhood dispensary. Apothecarium opened right before i was elected to the board of supervisors. And so for all these years that i was on the board for six years, i dont think we ever had a single complaint about the apothecarium. This is an upstanding, wellrun, terrific operation. And im just proud to call the apothecarium part of my community. So congratulations, everyone. [ applause ] i would also like to welcome our supervisor jeff sheehy, a long time leader on hiv aids. Hes fought hard to help us at city hall. Seven dispensaries are ongoing today at 9 00 a. M. For business.
