welcome home, man. so are you going out tonight? i can't. my parents say i have to be home right after work. ugh. that's so gay. totally gay. ugh. that is so emma and julia. why are you saying, "that's so emma and julia"? well, you know, when something is dumb or stupid, you say, "that's so emma and julia." who says that? everyone. announcer: imagine if who you are were used as an insult.

>> i understand the mayor is on a tight schedule. i would like mr. mayor to come up, please and say a few words. thank you. >> thank you. officer monroe. good evening, everyone. this is a really happy occasion, and i did when chief suhr notified me that this would be happ happening. i wanted to be sure i put in time to come before you for a brief moment and share my appreciation for the police force. to the commissioners and president mazzucco and the commission, and to the staff and awardees tonight. i know there is 41 of you out

there with family and friends. but i want to say to the 2,000 sworn men and women in the san francisco police force. i am very proud of you, and as hard as i work, i know there are people that work harder than i, and i don't put my life on the line every day when i go out there. but for a world-class city to have this status as one of the best cities to live in, and work in and visit. you have to have a police force that rises to world-class standards. and the san francisco police department is world-class standard. tonight with the recognition of the medals of valor, we continue, i think, a very important culture. a culture that is measured by the performance of its officers

and those who tonight exceed that standard in every way. and you know, it's kind of hard for me to get to know everyone up to 2,000 officers that work in our police department. i do see the results though. and i don't think we could have landed the bid for the super bowl hosting 50 without a world class department. we could not have landed the americus cup in san francisco, without the signaling of the best police department in the country. we could not have landed so many of these world-class events and continue the pride of being one of the fastest recovering cities in all of our country without a good police force. and so i made it a point tonight to come here and to let you know, i may not know each of the officers allegiance to your

favorite baseball team or favorite football team or favorite basketball team. but i will before i am done. because i do know that we share in common the success of this city. i know that on a daily basis, whether you are walking the neighborhoods of south of market or tenderloin and bay-view or any number of neighborhoods, you are doing the best you can. you are looking out for people. and i know that as the mayor of this city, we also got your back covered as well. because we don't have each other back's covered, we don't have the trust that we need to have to move forward in this city. i want to say thank you to each of the 2,000 men and women that serve in this police department. the commission. the commanding staff. the police officer's association that works closely with all of us as well. and not only thank you to all of you, but tonight for those who

have earned the medal of valor. you know it's important to have these events because the particular event that caused the bravery to occur, are no longer on the front pages of our newspapers. but they are in our memories. in the men and women, the people you work alongside. the family and friends and commissioners, they know who you are. and the rest of the city, 26,000 people that work for this city, we also know who has put themselves on the line to save others, to bring more efficiencies to the city, to bring pride and who you tutor, the kids, the extra time it takes to get at-risk youth to turn their heads. and to make a pause and suggest a better life. the extra hours that the officers put in, all of you, i see that every day.

and i know there is results. in fact if you look at the numbers today, knock on wood -- we are still at the historic time of low homicides in the city, we want to keep it that way, we want to keep the success going. thank you for your mayor, i want you to know that i am a grateful mayor to this police force and to all the people that serve it. and tonight i celebrate with you the recipients of the medals of valor to know that i appreciate the extra effort that its taken for you to get this award and recognition. i am proud of you, not only as officers and employees of the city. but proud of you being our city's heroes tonight. congratulations and thank you very much.

[dog barking] [rocket whistles] [boom] >> good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us on this very historic day. we are here to celebrate the first concrete pour for the foundation for the new transit rail center. we were here last year for the ground break of the new station. as you look around here today you can see that we've come a long way since august of 2010. since

that time we demolished the old terminal and recycled the materials to build it. we excavated down to street level and we kept the traffic moving and a breaking system and we relocated all utilities and reinstalled the piping system to use the natural earth's temperature. we put down steel. so far in the process we are removing about 6,000 cubic yards of mud and clay. in fact, today as a tone of our appreciation to our speakers we are going to give old clay deposited from the last ice age about a hundred thousand years ago. they were collected in

2013 and from about a hundred feet below the station. today's concrete pour for the foundation transit center is exciting because the foundation is going to be the first permanent structure of this project. the entire rail level in total we are pouring 142 ,000 yards of concrete which is the equivalent of 32 olympic size pools. we couldn't thank the men and women who work on this daily, the management, construction, our funders and government agencies and of course the public. reaching this point would not have been possible without the federal funds from the american recovery and reinvestment act. funds that have put thousands of people to work in construction reich -- right here in san francisco. thanks

to the recovery investment act funding which we received $400 million from. this is the result of the hard work of the dedication of our congressional delegation all led by house democratic leader nancy pelosi. leader pelosi is a national treasure and we are so honored to have her here today. i can't tell you how appreciative we are leader pelosi. house democratic leader pelosi. >> thank you very much, maria for your kind words of introduction for your exceptional leadership. when we gathered here 3 years ago we sang your praises as an operational person to get the job done and here we are. it's

an honor to be here with you mr. mayor and thank you for your leadership, not only on this project, but everything that surrounds it. supervisor kim, thank you for your leadership as a transbay joint powers authority chair as well as a member of our board of supervisors. michael from the building and construction traits council, of course none of this would be possible without the building trade. your leadership has been essential to our success. thank you for that. and as i acknowledge leaders who are here tim, a know that willie brown and gary newson would be proud. i know it's been a catalyst to bring this together whether it's about enabling this to go

forward or tax policy or enabling on construction and attracting other businesses here. ed lee, thank you for your leadership, mayor lee. as i acknowledge the dignity reese who are here, i want to thank our president break barack obama. he's helped with many other projects in the city. i hope he can visit soon so he can see the fruit of the american recovery and reinvestment act. when we arrived maria was telling us that one of the
