I just wasted an hour of my life. Oh no. Yeah. Watching this show? oh, no, no, no. That s what i should have done. I should have done that, because i thought it was my job to watch the trump socalled town hall moderated by sean hannity i could have told you. On another channel. So it s the town hall, you know, in harrisburg, pennsylvania, filled with people ready to ask their questions. Not a single audience question in the entire hour because because, you know, the trumpian, outofcontrol, rambling, incoherpt answers went on forever. Because he had to talk about lek etro cushions and hannibal lecter and sharks. Hannity s promising the audience that the audience questions are coming up, and they never do. Unbelievable. And any, any one of the audience questions would have been better than any of the hannity questions in the entire hour. And there might have been something to report about it if just one audience question got asked. Well, you know, next time lawrence, just stick with thi

Trumps war on the fbi. To start by giving brief introduction, josh is a supervisor or was supervisor special agent with the fbi, involved in highprofile terrorism and kidnapping investigations, he managed the bureaus Interagency Communications in response to crisis incidents as he describes them, overseas he was on multiple diplomatic and operational assignments, he has been awarded the fbi combat award four times for work embedded with military special operations and cia teams abroad, he is presently a cnn Law Enforcement analyst, many of you have probably seen him on cnn. Hes a team member term member, excuse me of the council in foreign relations, teaches National Security law at usc, he received masters from John Hopkins University and much more important from our perspective here in austin, graduate of the university of texas.

A man, almost always a man, and how he vanquished an enemy or conquered a new land that turned out not to be uninhabited, and monuments, that is their goal, that is their purpose. By contrast, murals like this provide a narrative, a much more complete story that often contains the good and the bad of a particular period to remind and critically inform us of this period, or in this case, the imperfect life of our first president. So while i can understand how aspects of murals are really offensive to some people, on a whole, they provide context to the people and times shown, and serve as a reminder of our greatly flawed history in a different way than a celebratory monument does. I also want to quickly address the federal art project and the administration aspect of this discussion. Both were phenomenally successful programs in our history, and it boosted the nations economy when we needed it, and it provided employment for many builders and artisans across the country. We have bridges

The city found a vendor or an occupant, and they are very appreciative of the murals inside the building, we will get to see what is on the bottom of the painted mural, which nobody has seen probably in a long time and the other building i want to talk about is the mothers building and that is not going too well. We got the funds from the Historic Preservation fund for them to do this study, and then also supervisor tang gave money to do the shortterm and immediate repairs, and they are all taken care of, but since that time, almost a year, nothing is happening. Something needs to be done to get this process moving. I was hoping maybe the commission could ask recreation and park and the Zoological Socie
