Willie Says SF Could Have Saved Money if They'd Handled the Protests Oakland's Way

Phil was asking his opinion on the price tag for the protests - over 2 million - and his main comment was that SF could have saved money if they'd done it Oakland's way. He said something else after that which I didn't catch, which prompted Phil to say something like, "Just like a lawyer, now you want to say you never said it," so it isn't clear if he tried to make a joke or not, but it's nothing to joke about. Both he and the anchor seemed surprised and she (the anchor) even appeared annoyed.
