That is because he lives in moscow. It is a very long flight. On the serious side, speakers talked about the First Amendment and the role of the democracy. We are reporters. Not judges. Not legislators. Our job is to put the best version of the truth out there, period. Especially now. Bernsteins watergate partner bob woodward, now an associate editor with the Washington Post also spoke last night, addressing trump directly thing mr. President , the media is not fake news. Also hundreds gathered at lake merritt for the peoples climate march. It was one of more than 250 sister marches supporting the main one that happened in washington dc. It coincided with Donald Trumps 100 day in office. They say they want to show the president that protecting the planet is more important than protecting profit. We are at the turning point in the history of our planet. We are at the turning point in the history of our country. We are here to make it known that we want the stopping of fossil fuels. We want people to control the climate of this planet. It is everybodys planet. The oakland march was put on by a coalition of more than 75 organizations. At the same time, the president is acting to free up new areas for oil and gas drilling. Including some off the coast of california. He is asking the interior secretary to take a look at the issue. He wants to undo a plan from the Obama Administration that prevents new leases on california and alaska through 2022. With the executive order is likely to face a lot of pushback.

That includes the greater marine sanctuary off the coast of sonoma. This has triggered the monterey aquarium to react negatively. Thing in a statement with a stroke of a pen, we have taken a huge step backward from a 40 year history of Global Leadership in Ocean Conservation will. And the president calls to unveil the tax reform package. States including new york and california, already pushing back for removing itemized reductions such as state property tax. We spoke to John Dickerson about the reform. Dickerson says it sets off an interesting political challenge for the administration. Politically, is a president in bad shape if the states that wont vote for him are unhappy . That will be an interesting fight to see if state and local taxes if they succeed and get their congress. It is a long way to go. John dickerson will be interviewing President Trump about his first 100 days in office, on face the nation. The white house is calling it the biggest tax cut in u. S. History. Also topping todays capital consumer watch. Julie watts is here to explain the plan and how it might impact you. It does impact us all. This will symbol fivefiling taxes and give tax rakes to the working class. Critics say it is a big break for the rich. And at the expense of the upper middleclass. Under the trump plan, we will have a massive tax cut for businesses and massive tax reform and simplification. The proposal would cut the Corporate Tax rate from 35 , to 15 . The plan also reduces the number of individual income tax bracket. The white house says they are trying to figure out how to pay for cuts without adding to the deficit. It is a tax giveaway for the very wealthy that will explore the deficit. The white house will present the final plans by august. Secretary Steve Mnuchin has been in a Leader Meeting with leaders to pass the plan. This could benefit the bay area people by getting rid of the tax for people making over 200,000 a year. It also eliminates several itemized deductions including state taxes. That could be costly to people in them accredit controlled states with high local taxes like california. Techs experts say plan to double the standard deduction may actually make up for the loss of the state write off. Others say the state tax reduction is crucial for california. We are in an abnormal area. California is a different beast with different rules. Soapmaking one broadspectrum change in tax code doesnt necessarily fit for us or may be new york or other places where real estate prices are completely different than the rest of the country. The presents plan would still allow itemized deductions for things like charitable contributions. Last year, more than 43 million u. S. Families claimed the state deduction. Certainly, the bay area is unique. Right now, 105,000 a year is considered low income. Nationwide, that is double the Median Income for everyone else. I cannot imagine the Trump Administration feels about the state of california. But the votes are in the other states. And if they benefit from it, they will rule on it. It is going to come down to whether or not this tax reform package needs 60 votes in the senate or not. If it needs 60, then that sort of thing will have to go. Do you think they would get it . We have to see how the moderate democrats do on this one. Up next, Assembly Member david chu joins us. And what is next for his proposal. ,,,,,,, two bay area cities just hit a roadblock. The bill, failed to pass the Assembly Transportation Committee Last week. The Pilot Program would have installed speedsafety cameras a plan to install speed cameras in two bay area cities hit a roadblock. The bill failed to pass the Transportation Committee last week. The Pilot Program would have installed speed safety programs along some streets in San Francisco and san jose. The pictures would snap pictures of cars going 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. And then a 100 ticket would go out in the mail. Joining us to talk about what happened is the bills author, state Assembly Member david chiu. When this was proposed, i was there and you were there. We had the mayors of san jose, San Francisco and state assemblyman. Everybody was saying that this was a proven way to reduce speeding, reduce fatalities and other collisions. It is proven. It goes to the First Committee the second committee. The Union Representing the Highway Patrol comes out against this. What happened . It was very disappointing. We have support across the spectrum particularly from Law Enforcement locally and the California Police chiefs association. Unfortunately, there are some Law Enforcement unions that are concerned that this will impact discretion, take away jobs and nothing could be further from the truth. This bill was for a test program . Correct. In San Francisco and san jose. Correct, no highways. So what does this have to do with the job security of the Highway Patrol officer . I think they were concerned about slippery slopes down the line if we allow cameras to be used here, that it might impact them. This is a program that has been proven to save lives around the country. So they come out against it. What was the rationale . I doubt if they walked in and said, this will cost us jobs. We heard a lot of arguments. At the end of the day, we understand folks are concerned they will lose jobs. At the end of the day i dont understand how people will lose jobs. If they lose jobs, it would be the local police. You are absolutely correct. The local police chief, we had the heads of the San Francisco Police Department tell us why this is important to safety. And at the end of the day, we will never be able to put a Police Officer at every corner of every dangerous street. So we need cameras to complement that. So it is not a job killer. It wasnt just the unions. It was the Civil Liberties union. The aclu. Let me make it clear. This is a bill that did clear the assembly as the committee. We discussed issues around privacy in great detail. What was the privacy issue . You are taking a picture of somebodys plate going 10 miles over the speed limit. You are right. What was raised by the aclu was not having tickets on low income folks. What we decided to do with this bill was to not only make sure these are maximum 100 tickets and no point on the record, but if you are low income and you sign under multi perjury that it is a 20 ticket. This is what happens in sacramento. We have very public unveiling of laws and private stifling of them in the hallways of the committee rooms. That may have been what happened here. Was there anybody ready to vote for this . Nobody even wanted to go on record. Again, we had a majority of democrats that supported this. That was the first major committee. The second Transportation Committee, what was decided was that we were going to do this for a few months. Hopefully negotiate some changes to address some opposition points and bring this back up. If the opposition point is that nobody should get a ticket and we are not for this we are afraid it will cost jobs how do you negotiate that . We will continue the conversation about how business save lives. How an the streets of San Francisco and san jose, we have a crisis every 18 hours. There is a parent, child or spouse that is hit and killed on the streets because of these dangerous collisions. We have to do something. And 140 communities around america, this has been shown to work. Good luck. It seems like this gets in the back room and we are really moving toward speed cameras. It is our hope in the coming months. Keep hope alive. Moving on. Taxes. Just a couple seconds left. What is your impression of the president s tax proposal and how it will affect california . It will put a real crimp in the text plants. The tax proposal i think from everyones account, from left to right, would frankly be terrible for america. It would blow a hole in the federal deficit. And it is really a set of tax cuts for the rich that will come at the expense of middle class americans in california. And it will have a huge impact on california. Up until now, you have been able to raise taxes in california and say, dont worry. You can take it off of your federal tax returns. President trump is looking to make sure that his wealthy friends continue to get enriched at the cost of everyone else in california and america. Thank you for joining us this morning. We will turn to our forecast. Some sun and a little wet. On a sunnier notes, it will be a nice day outside. Lets forget about taxes for a minute. We will take a beautiful look outside.
