Thank you, dr. Hill, mr. Holmes for your years of service to this country. And i appreciate yall being here today. Throughout this process i have said that i want to learn the facts so we can get to the truth. So why are we here . Because of two things that occurred during the president s july 25th phone call with ukrainian president zelensky. The use of the phrase, do us a favor, though, in reference to the 2016 president ial election and the mention of the word biden. I believe both statements were inappropriate, misguided Foreign Policy. And its certainly not how the executive current or in the future should handle such a call. Over the course of the hearings, the American People have learned about a series of events that in my view have undermined our National Security and undercut ukraine, a key partner on the front lines against russian aggression. We have heard of u. S. Officials carrying uncoordinated confusing and conflicting messages creating doubt and uncertainty in kyiv at
Character of colonel than i thought this was very interesting certainly wasnt unexpected it was very interesting for this reason they didnt really question anything colonel that man said after all what colonel inman said is what what you said he was in that july 10th meeting he heard the same quid pro quo the same comments by some and if you want this meeting ukrainians and we have an agreement about this you got to an ounce youre going to do these investigations are the same quid pro quo that you did so why are these smearing him. Mr holmes you testified just as venom and said kernel of him and said that he warns alinsky about getting involved in u. S. Politics you dont question that they didnt take issue with that so why smear this purple heart recipient just like this mayor of a vast array of audit its just gratuitous i dont question the facts its just gratuitous the attack on you mr holmes that you were indiscreet and mention this conversation to others well i think youre quite rig
In isolation. We are working with the Behavioral Health system, and as i said time and time again there is a real issue around equity. Around those 4,000 people that we know we are not serving properly, 35 of them are africanamerican. We need to call out the injustices in these systems and make deliberate investments in targeting the population that continue to get left out when we propose new solutions to support the communities that we know are most vulnerable. So we are going to be making deliberate investments around making sure that africanamericans are supported as we move this process forward. [ applause ]. Mayor breed i want to thank dr. Nigusse bland and dr. Colfax because you have been doing the difficult work of managing the system with the resources that you have and not necessarily getting the support that you need to do it and that change starts today. That change wont happen overnight. We will be working towards making this a more justice, equitable, fair system using da
Mayor breed hello, everybody. Im london breed. Im mayor of the city and county of San Francisco, and i am so excited to be here today. We all know that there is a real crisis in our city, and i know that we hear that word used on a regular basis. But in this particular case what we see happening with those who are struggling with Mental Illness and Substance Use disorder and chronic homelessness is something that we see every day and we need to take aggressive action to address that issue. I am standing here with supervisor Hillary Ronen and mandelman to announce that even though we have had two competing measures, we have come together to do what is in the best interest of this city to introduce today at the board of supervisors a compromise that is going to help us address the most significant problem in our city. [ applause ]. Mayor breed i not only want to thank the supervisors, but i wanted to thank lou girardo. You remember lou has someone who worked with the board of supervisors
