5:31 am
(laughter) eleanor had that responsibility (laughter) and this business one of the components of leadership is also making sure mr. mayor you have
5:32 am
somebody to blame (laughter) and the one you select make sure they're a solid in foundation so they can take it and absorb it and keep on moving. many of you around this as i look around we thought, you know, two or 3 hundred people would show up and lvld there's a hell of a lot more people showing. there are a few chairs in a small place but we wanted to celebrate i didn't realize you didn't have nothing to do on a saturday morning and needed a cup of coffee. there was a great debate on the staff side presentation of this
5:33 am
event said we better do a tent because it had rained in california in almost a year we need to do a tent because we don't want people to get wet etc. and no you can't do it on the inside and they gave us the count down date and it kept raining and raining and i said let's do that on my mothers birthday and they don't know that woman she's got a relationship with the lord. under the circumstances the sun will be shining on her oldest boy on the dated when you do the bridge (clapping) and so credit my mother with the sunshine.
5:34 am
and clarence were up correct to ask that question because when alice finally, called me they did this in secret he didn't want me to be involved taught u at all for fear i'd cause it to fall. they were keeping it out of my sight completely until some reporter named a journalist called me up and asked how did you organize straight this bridge for being named after you. i said what are you talking about he said they're talking about naming the by a bridge after you. and i said that is to the o not possible i'm two controversial and i'm alive (laughter)
5:35 am
and, of course, they said well they are. i called eleanor and said eleanor find out what's happening with the bridge naming and she got back to me and i called alice and alice hung up she didn't want to hear me she was going to do it no matter what. i'm glad she hung up it's occurred i'm now about to have the unveiling of the bridge itself but they screwed up they got the wrong end of the bridge. i share you a view that's what happens to black people in america you get the achievement and they change the rules. that's kind of the way it works
5:36 am
(laughter) but it is an incredible on a serious note frankly an incredible achievement and something i want to enjoy day in and day out. i love the cat on the streets read it was going to be named after me he said i'm kind of a tea bargain guy i don't like you at all but i'm going to enjoy rolling over you everyday (laughter) i always want to be accommodating. i'll tell you how significant this is from the african-americans started up. this kids in the school yard i

go to make a speech to the school and i know, you know, i've been out of politics for awhile officially. (laughter) unelected for a while and i warranted through the school yard and the little kids stopped and kept checking me out i'm hoping they'll think i'm j z or small business. i go in the school and as i start to come out this little 8-year-old black kid who has all his little friends lined up because he clearly in this highly integrated school has been telling them about me and probably bragging about me he said hey administers who did you

5:40 am
i wish i could cite each and every one of you who are activity and applicants for continuation. i'm just overwhelmed by the show of support and i hope that is as the years unfold and if the projections stated by mr. hall were true and that in the form that others will use that bridge if others will use my life and what i've done and the methods and levels of service in spite of the terms that newsom has used to describe if they use my life as a means to participate in making public policy exports
5:41 am
and imports public policy then they'll be doing it on behalf of other people. that's the basis of my life and the basis that i think ultimately of my success and i'm just delighted that the affirmation of that produce is now enshrined by name in the second most often used bridge in this great country. and i say to each and every one of you i'm just delighted and i'll continue to be delighted. i do and i will practice bragging rights every time i get a chance (clapping) i may even enhance as i
5:42 am
according do i may enhance why the reasons the bridge. i was at an event recently and i said something to somebody and i remembered that there was a guy who owned a phrase that i absolutely loved. and turned out to be one of my friends. i said to him as i close my remarks on the bridge naming i want you to say exactly what i wished had been my original closing line and iowa with that, let me ask my friend to say that at this moment. my life has been for me a work of art in every way and i simply

5:45 am
the fuss was all about. so let's see. while attending san francisco state university as an accountinging major, anthony's friend jokingly suggested he make cookies to make ends make. with no formal culinary training he opened his own bakery and is now the no. 1 producer of gourmet cookies in the biarea and thank you for joining us on quick bites. how do you feel? >> i feel great. >> so i want to get to the bottom of some very burning questions. why cookies? >> it was a recommendation from a friend. hard to believe that's how it all started. >> why not pies and cakes? what do you have against pies and cakes, anthony.
5:46 am
>> i have nothing against pies and cakes. however, that was the recommendation. >> you were on the road to be an account apblt. >> actually, an engineer. >> even better. and it led to making cookies. >> in delicious ways. >> delicious ways. >> this is where the magic goes down and we're going to be getting to the truth behind cookies and cream. >> this is what is behind cookies and cream. >> where were you when the idea came to your mind. >> i was in my apartment
5:47 am
eating ice cream, cookies and cream ice cream. how much fun, cookies and cream cookies. their cookies and cream is not even -- it took a lot of time, a lot of fun. >> a lot of butter. >> a lot, a lot, a lot. but it was one of those things. all right, now behold. you know what that is? >> what is that? >> cookies and cream. >> oh, they are beautiful. >> yes, so we got to get --. >> all right, all right. we treat the cookies like wine tasting. i don't ever want anybody to bite into a cookie and not get what they want to
5:48 am
get. we're training staff because they can look at the cookie and tell if it's wrong. >> oh, here we go. >> you smell it and then you taste it, clean the plat palate with the milk. >> i could be a professional painter because i know how to do this. >> i can tell that it's a really nice shell, that nice crunch. >> but inside. >> oh, my god. so you are going to -- cheat a little bit. i had to give you a heads up on that. >> what's happening tomorrow? these cookies, there's a lot of love in these cookies. i don't know how else to say it. it really just makes me so happy. man, you bake a mean cookie, anthony. >> i know. people really know
5:49 am
if they are getting something made with love. >> aww >> you know, you can't fool people. they know if you are taking shortcuts here and there. they can eat something and tell the care that went into it. they get what they expect. >> uh-huh. >> system development and things like that. >> sounds so technical. >> i'm an engineer. >> that's right, that's right. cookies are so good, drove all other thoughts out of my head. thank you for taking time out it talk to us about what you do and the love with which you do it. we appreciate your time here on quick bites.
5:50 am

5:51 am
gratifying. we want to be here. so i'm very excite ied to be here today. >> your volunteerism is appreciated most definitely. >> last year we were able to do 6,000 hours volunteering. without that we can't survive. volunteering is really important because we can't do this. it's important to understand and a concept of learning how to take care of this park. we have almost a 160
5:52 am
acres in the district 10 area. >> it's fun to come out here. >> we have a park. it's better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park. >> the street, every time, our friends. >> i think everybody should give back. we are very fortunate. we are successful with the company and it's time to give back. it's a great place for us. the weather is nice. no rain. beautiful san francisco. >> it's a great way to be able
5:53 am
to have fun and give back and walk away with a great feeling. for more opportunities we have volunteering every single day of the week. get in touch with the parks and recreation center so come today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire
5:54 am
hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the city. how do we avoid that kind of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and
5:55 am
turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is. >> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon
5:56 am
monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. if gas appliance is not burning properly this will alert you before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. >> this is a battery powered? >> this is a battery powered and it has a 10 year battery life. a lot of times you may have one or the other. if you put in just a carbon monoxide detector, it's important to have one of these too. every house should have a fire extinguisher, yes. >> one thing people expect to do when the power goes out
5:57 am
after an earthquake about using candles. what would you recommend? >> if you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. this kind of a candle, you wouldn't want it in an area where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesn't rollover. you definitely want to have this in a non-combustible surface. >> now, here we have our stove. after a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home, how are you going to cook? >> well, i wouldn't recommend cooking inside of the house. you have to go outside and use a portable stove or something
5:58 am
else. >> so it wouldn't be safe to use your fireplace to cook? >> not at first. you should check it by a professional first. >> outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you stay away from buildings and doors and windows. >> yes. that will be fine. >> here we have some alternative cooking areas. >> you can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. >> thank you for joining us. and thanks for this terrific space that you have in this
5:59 am
exhibition space and thanks for helping san francisco stay safe. (clapping.) >> (speaking foreign language.) >> (clapping.) hello, i'm luke and i'll
