that's where i am. i am emptying my box. i am not doing it as well as i would like to. i still go back to old habits and i still look for affirmation in ways i no longer really do need it or want it. but what i am trying to do now is say look at all the things i dill and needed and used in order to call myself a man. i don't need any of them. i now just to be a man on the planet and as i am getting closer to the end i would like to be able to not be so burdened so thank you for it ting. that is part of what i do in the beginning is bring him in with this burden and in spite of himself as one more cash i mean, this man rails for a very long time, rails and rails and rails. he can't even hear the truth when it is being spoken to him. he can't hear it. and then suddenly there is a point in the play when he begins to realize i have taken too little care of this, as i said, you know, and he decides to basically become a human being and the greatest of all tragedy happens which is the one creature who loved him for himself died in his arms. >> rose: queue know who was fascina

i am definitely paying attention and i am definitely participating. . and what we will bring to the voters and what they will support and i am not refuting the science, and i think that what we have done speaks for itself and how we care about kids and how, they they live and breathe in our cities and schools with our family and i am grateful that there is a discussion about doing something about that even beyond the school system but we are really talking to the people in their communities and what we can do to help. but again, i am not going to be supporting this tonight, but i am not divorcing myself from the conversation and passion participation in the conversation and i need a lot more information about how we go about the process. >> so i want to thank everybody that came out as well and i have a tremendous amount of respect for all of the supporters that came out and share their thoughts and opinions about why this is so important and i agree, it is extremely important and i think that the research and issues related to the sugary beverage is al

because i am who i am. but i am not a bully. what i will tell you is that the folks who have worked with me over a long period of time would, i believe, tell you that i'm tough. but i've shown over the last four years and the tone we have set here that i'm willing to compromise, that i'm willing to work with others. and the campaign showed with all of the folks who came from the other side of the aisle to support us, if we weren't willing to have relationships with those folks, it never would have happened that way. i don't believe that, kelly, and i don't believe the body of work in the last four years displayed that. now, in this instance the language used and the conduct displayed in those emails is unacceptable to me. and i will not tolerate it. but the best can i do is when i see stuff like that to end it. and i know that won't satisfy everybody, but i'm not in the business of satisfying everybody. i'm in the business of trying to satisfy the people who elected me governor. michael. >> governor, you stated you're going to i

am i right? or am i wrong? it is about waking up, and you know what? the gentleman from the union who got up here and i am a union man and i work for him in the united farm workers and i am a union man and i support the teachers and the union and i say that today, you should after this motion, consider making a motion to take all of the land that you are not using and convert it immediately into housing, for teachers, in this city. why wait? you don't need another consultant, you don't need another study. you don't need a real estate, it is simple math. you need housing for teachers. and just like we need housing for families. and we started our mission with no eviction, back in october, we thought that maybe a 50 people will come out, and hundreds of people came out. and we had our second action for (inaudible) and thousands of people came out. and we thought that this was only happening in the mission, it is happening all over the city. and we are getting calls from the gay community from the castle and we have gone to the meetings there and the gay

i am paying for it now.t of the credit to i did come along sondheimime when the and all these amazing people created all of these, and as your grandfather said, i was ready, and i was chosen. myselfhosen, so i give credit for continuing and doing to the best of my ability to help make these shows hit, but they created them. they made them happen, and i was here to receive it. it's a mixture of all of them. life is a mixture of all of them. tavis: i am glad you chose the theater and you blessed us with this genius ofours, and yet the flipside of that is, and any artist watching will say amen -- you don't get rich by staying in the theater. i just had angela lance perry on here, and she was clear -- the primary reason she took murder she wrote is she needed to make some money. . >> i love had that your devotion to the theater. that is a lot of money to leave on the table. >> it is, but what you don't have you don't miss. what you have got you cherish. your very best. you have responsibility to yourself. when y

i am alumni from the school, and first off, i am just happy to say that this is finally being where it is right now and so as far as progress and i want to say that we don't need the police handling the school matters and the police should handle the police matters and what happens at school happens at school. the police have the big roles and the community to cover when i was two i had my family torn apart by police and by having that happen it has had a negative impact on my life, and as far as having relationships with the police officers and so i feel like when you have police? school, it puts the fear in children that have had something traumatic like that happen to them and the students should not have to face the police and the police are here to protect in the service and we should not be scared to come to them to the things that we need. and the mlu needs to be mandated. mandatoried and not recommended. thank you. >> good evening. >> i am here to speak about the mlu between the san francisco and the san francisco police department, this mlu has been the youth commission's prio

if i am looking, sorry president. fewer. >> and in looking at the version that i had at home, which is about all of my notes on it. and in this section, 16, which is the arrests on school campuses. and quite a bit of a language, would which looks to me like maybe the section that sfpd puts in because it talks about the penal code and i am talking considering as sort of their general orders because it is no longer here. >> there are two paragraphs that are taken out saying that you should when you are arresting a student, you should not basically pull them from class. unless there is an imminent threat and you have to do that and in the event that you do have to, violate that rule, or go against the prescribed orders, that you justify why did you have to do it that way? and so in your report, and in your arrest you would say the reason that this happened, we had a situation actually recently where a student was actually where the police informed a school that tomorrow we will be arresting a student on campus, but we ha

i am not monday morning quarterbacking.t are we getting out of iraq for that blood and treasure? >> what we gain and my concern then and today, biggest threat we face is possibility of terrorist groups like al-qaeda equipped with weapons of mass destruction with nubbings or gas. when we took down sated sated we eliminated the source of. that >> al-qaeda and they are back. >> they wouldn't be if they followed the policies and let me finish, in terms of what we got down. saddam hussein was a major source attacking down. and kha d da fi announced he would give up his stock of weapons and then we tock down the major supplier. and the father of the pakistan program running a black operation and got rid of three major sources of potential of weapons of mass destruction. >> but right now, iraq looks to me and the headline in the washington post. ir is in a deepening security crisis as a al-qaeda wages relentless wage of attacks. i don't know if the suffering and blood was worth with. >> we have a major problem in that part of the

you are going to put this on the while i am reading it, i am thinking that i am in a back brace, that mother had recently passed away, that the record company had said they were not going to renew my contract, and i am thinking this is the answer to my prayer. this is it. this is the answer, and this song is not only something that i can relate to but a song that others can relate to. it is a timeless lyrica, so i really thought this was god's answer to my prayer and that it would be something that would go on for as long as people would play it. tavis: i always love hearing that story because it is instructive, it is informative, it is inspiring to know that you're on the eve of being dropped by your record company, and you basically record the song in a brace on a wheelchair, and they put the song out on the b side, a throwaway basically, at on the a side, and it is blockbuster all of these years later. let me move now to the book. give me some sense of how you started to collect these stories from persons around the globe who, in fact, have used the song to help them survive their

because i am who i am, but i'm not a bully.ell you is, the folks that have worked with me over a long time frame would, i believe, tell you that i'm tough . but i've shown over the last that i'm willing to compromise and work with others. and the campaign with all of the folks that came from the other side of the aisle to support us, if we were not willing to have relationships with those folks, it never would have happened that way. i don't believe that, kelly, and i don't believe the body of work in the last four years displays that. now in this instance, the language used and the conduct displayed in those e-mails is unacceptable to me. and i will not tolerate it. do is when ii can see stuff like that, to end it. and i know that will not satisfy everybody, but i'm not in the business of satisfying everybody. i'm in the business of trying to satisfy the people who elected me governor. michael. >> you say you are going to inividually interview those the governor's office. >> senior staff, yeah. >> what about the campaign? are

i am not opposed to women having access to it. i am opposed to democrats treating women as though they somehow are incapable of being able to function unless the democrats, and particularly the government comes in to rescue them. if people listen to what i have said, which by the way it was exactly what i said, exact words i said on television show a week ago. >> the words were a little different a week ago. what you said on the radio wasn't controversial. you said it better on the radio show than you did at the convention. >> i said libido. >> you put it in terms of having to control, that democrats believe women need the government in order to control their libidos. that sounded to many like you were placing a judgment on it. first of all you vast majority of people in this country have libidos and act on them. the vast majority use birth control when they do not desire to have a baby as a result of those libido instinct. >> no arguments. >> the use of birth control are you passing judgment by couples having inter course who are

i am frustrated, sometimes i am homeless. thinking that maybe i will never get justice for my son. but i can't give up. i show these pictures my son, laying here lifeless, and i don't know how to make this thing go smaller. i am sorry. what did i do? >> make it go smaller, to see his picture? >> this is another picture, and this is all thatvy left of him is his mangled body being shot to death, 30 rounds of bullets into my son. no mother, would i not wish this on any mother to have to see this or even have to go to a funeral home to identify their child's body. my son was a handsome boy with a beautiful smile and this is what they left me with. this hurts. and i'm tired of crying. you see what i have to look at and what i have to deal with every day and you might not want to. but this is my pain. this is my healing. i don't have my son any more. these men killed my son. all of these names. these are all of the perpetrators that were there that day. you have these names and you know who killed him. >> good evening, >> the young lady for the last ten years is probably 1,000, there ha

>> i am sad. that is the predominant emotion iright now, sadness that i was betrayed by a member of my staff, sadness that i had people like interested with important jobs who acted completely inappropriately, sad is that that would the people of new jersey to have less confidence in the people that i selected, the motion i have been displaying in private is sad. as i said earlier i think in the answer to your question i don't know what the stages of grief are in exact order but i know a anger gets there at some point. i am sure i will have that too but right now i am sad. let me just clear something up about my childhood friend david whilesteen, i met him in 1977 in high school. he is a year older than me. david and i were not friends in high school. we were not even acquaintances in high school. i had a high school in livingston, a three year high school that had 1800 students in a three year high school in the late 70s, i met david in a time came for governor campaign in 1977. the was of use vo

i can't, i am busy, we have a lot of things on the burner. and you know, this just is not part of what needs to happen right now. and i just truly appreciate that. during such difficult times on your end also. and i also want to deeply thank maralee and the former superintendent and current superintendent carranza for their dedication to working together on so many fronts and for taking this chance on making this happen. and sandy, i don't know if you recall, us sitting in mayor lee's office with the superintendent and david and others and the door kind of being swung open to work together. and to take advantage of what the city has to offer. and that as a school district, we are, this is not our forte, educating the kids are the forte that we should not be in the business of development and we should not feel like we are alone in all of this. and it took a lot of courage for us to come together and which makes me want to just mostly thank young and david and joe for not letting go of this and for allowing me to push on many real estate issue

i am looking forward to it. i believe in him. i am going to be an on optimist. show some respect. >> jedediah, you said obama's speech was a grand slam and you agreed with almost everything he said. that surprised me. >> we have heard this speech about 17 times from him. there was nothing new. i just think when it is interesting and he talks about all of the negative things happening on his watch he acts like it is not his fault. he is looking like a third party in on somebody else's administration. his policies have nothing to do with it, leak he is not part of the problem at all. there is no self-aware -- self-awareness in the process at all when i watch him speak. >> that's the mentality of a grad student who has the answers and doesn't have to act on them. andy, obama's state of the union he did not address cats. another missed opportunity to make a connection with the feline community. >> there are a lot of things he didn't address. nothing about richard sherman. >> no mention ofma -- macklemore stealing the award. and he didn't talk about the pronunciation

i am just very concerned. the other thing too people are talking about the taxicab drivers and probable cause. i mean a bunch of people standing on a corner to me is probable cause. someone with a paper bag with some type of beverage in it is probable cause. a taxicab with four -- three, 4-foot pink mustache is probable cause. it just sondes -- i mean , well, you can figure it out. i don't know. i just -- i'm -- mr. marshall -- yeah, i am wondering how do i personally feel safe alive and free when i see these officers -- they just -- it just seems over board and someone commit committed a crime and trying to comply and using deadly force on somebody who is halfway trying to comply. i'm really concerned here. i did put a complaint in so one of you will be dealing with it hopefully. >> thank you very much. next speaker. hearing none public comment is now closed. please call the next item. >> can you put that back the way you had it? >> line item 3a chief's report discussion review of recent activities. >> good e
