Oil, 41. 40 we talked for a long time about mike pences hawkish speech on china from a year or two ago but pompeo yesterday oneupped that and this consulate news from china is weighing on sentiment too. Yeah, he upped the ante jim did focus us at the time on Vice President pences speech because it was quite truck lant would be a word to describe it at the time but it continues to go up in terms of the tensions, carl weve talked about it pretty much every day, whether its a backandforth over huawei, whether it has to do with conversations about closing down the app tiktok in the United States, whether it is the closing of consulates here and the response from the chinese. This is not going in a direction that many, who at least are invested in the idea of global trade, certainly, mike, would wanting to see. For sure. On the one hand the market is not necessarily overly focused to this point on these relationships and not really counting on anything to come out of it. Its not quite like
Bolton and mike pompeo as folks who were complicit in these arrangements the testimony of Gordon Sondland had been widely anticipated because hes one of the only witnesses being called who has spoken directly with the president. There is uncertainty over how many times he spoke with the president , but hes someone who appears to have the president s thinking and now in his Opening Statement he will say that he believes there was a quid pro quo. Guys, back to you. Really quick, the times this morning also adding another layer that he kept the secretary of state mike pompeo perhaps more informed than we were previously led to believe. Any sign of that in the testimony that you have seen reporter the testimony itself is 19 pages long for his Opening Statement. So were still digging through it and, of course, well hear him deliver it in just a few minutes. But one thing we also do know is that he largely confirms the account of a state Department Aide who says he overheard Gordon Sondland

So i do not support this motion. I think we have to act with urgency. I think it is high time we have an oversight body for a department that has ever expanding budget. Ironically, it was the mayor who didnt support prop c because she said there wasnt enough oversight over the department. So how all of us are not supporting this department right now is absolutely beyond me. So i would encourage all of my colleagues to not support the motion to delay this to march and to act with the urgency that our constituents demand and deserve. President yee supervisor mandelman . Supervisor mandelman thank you, president yee. I want to echo thanks to supervisor haney for the leadership youve provided on a number of issues, and particularly on the sea wall Navigation Center.

This will provide us with the breathing room to get everyone to the table and develop a way forward. It accomplishes the objective that we all shared to make our citys work to end hom
