well the news is a cliche this week and i want to look at this hollywood accounting and it is something that hollywood has taught the world michigan town wombs hollywood but ends up with a bit part so the story starts in august two thousand and seven jennifer granholm is the governor of michigan into michigan flies mike binder who is a director from michigan and he convinces the governor that hey michigan should have one of these financial incentive schemes that all the other states have which is basically not only giving all sorts of tax breaks like property tax to studios but actually giving them money to bring their productions to your state so michigan introduced this scheme and within two months twenty four movies had signed up to film in michigan from to the entire year before the productions estimated that they would spend one hundred ninety five million dollars filming there and in return they would be refunded about seventy million in cash yeah i mean this is important because before enron before world com before two.

it has now become a cliche, to say that we cannot rest on our way out of this problem. i no longer want to hear those words. this is not to give the law- enforcement a short shrift. i have had an impact on my husband's life, some of the unwanted. but he has had an impact on mind. i have done extensive work with law enforcement, with the lapd and the los angeles county sheriff's. i am here to tell you that crime has been driven down in los angeles because of their efforts, but not only because of their efforts. so what does the collaboration look like. i want you to keep some ideas in mind. there is no first among equals. what we learned in los angeles was that oppression alone was not the answer. it did not work. there were record highs in gang violence in 2005. i want to tell you what has happened between 2005 and 2012. number one, the grass roots -- the disorganize, fragmented, passionate grass roots must be part of this. the community members who go to county supervisors meetings, the members who pass out fliers, the youths who have been in the juvenile justice syste

kids are fascinated by changing cliches, changing social dynamics, how the different groups identified themselves. i think asking some questions or kind of getting a sense through the conversations about what is that social fabric looking like, where do you feel like you fit in? where do you feel like you are not wanted or who argue intimidated by? >> host: can you give exceed those of questions that you think work for kids? we all know that -- are you being bullied in school doesn't work. >> guest: because they are like no, definitely not. i think questions around things like drama. is their drama going on in your group? if you have a group of kids do you know someone isn't there, where is jeneane today? what's going on with her? is everything okay between the two of you? i think some of the questions that i brought up before, how do the kids kind of breakdown, who is wearing what? what do you call the different kids in the group? how do they identify and what are some of the things they do together, they don't do come in and who is part of that group? simple questions like who use it

the other side we have to improve communication skills feel you know outside world to have the same cliches that still types looks the way look at china in the light of the former soviet union but china china china's different people don't know that but i'm not to pessimistic with thanks to opening so many foreigners go to china so many chinese that go abroad every year i think maybe seventy million chinese go abroad some sixty five million following those go to china that's good with that i mean the scale of people to people exchange of people i think outside world come gradually to understand better what's going on in china why do you think the west is always suspicious of china because we have a different systems sometimes they have to they are very suspicious about the chinese communist party. they tend to look at the chinese communist communist party you know like that with the former soviet communist party. beckham that you know it's quite i mean common in the international relations sir thank you very much for this interview thank you. choose your language. of choice maker with oh if

administration publishes what it calls a national strategy and i generally terns out to be a bunch of cliches. i don't have great optimism that the government can do this itself. i think that think tanks actually tend to have more capability to do it. because they are on occasion able to get away from the inbox. unfortunately, the tendency is for the government to provide less and less funding for that kind of capability and the congress doesn't like to have airy fairy thinking funded by the government. and the state department, defense department, when they give money to the think tanks, it's for a very specific task generally. now, there is private money that goes into think tanks that could be available for this. but that i think is probably the best place to try to do it. it's not easy. universities sometimes think in these terms although recently in the last decades, they have tended also to become narrowly focused on disciplinary rather than interdisciplinary activities. that's my best hope. i actually gave a speech a dozen years ago suggesting this. it hasn't happened. >>> up next, why

but postponement is the theme, that cliche, kicking the can down the road. i do not know what of the can is. it is postponing hard decisions. it is too bad. they should make the hard decisions. i think the hypothetical weekly dinner between the president and john boehner, if that occurred, or if it is now a golf game, that would be such a good and fruitful thing because, look. in trying to write particularly about presidents, you are driving at the question. who is barack obama? do you think we fully understand who barack obama is? do you? >> if anybody does, you would. >> no. i am asking do you? [laughter] >> of course. we want to know more about the people we cover. >> do you think there is -- do you find elements of mystery or uncertainty in his actions and personality? >> of course. it is fascinating. >> may be in him, you covered george w. bush and wrote four books on him. there was not a lot of mystery about what bush felt. >> he was a gut player. >> yes. as he said, his job was to put some calcium in the spine. >> but i think obama is a little bit mor

and it sounds cliche to say especially when you see conditions as bad as these but life does go on and i mean it was amazing how quickly once you i mean once we did leave the habitat for humanity camp and we got a chance to go and see the rest of the city we had these two guys that didn't even . they didn't even speak english but it's such an easy way to connect with these people. i really felt like i couldn't leave after that yeah yeah it was really amazing and what was really incredible also i want to point out this photo. the rubble you know the earthquake happened two years ago but you still see not just slums not just widespread devastation but rubble and just these dilapidated buildings structures that are still just left i mean really there's been no real effort to rebuild so what you saw a lot of was this kind of post appalled apocalyptic feeling like a nuclear bomb hit the region and it's just kind of everything that was remained in the sort of the civilization is building on top of of these remnants of these structures really fascinating and then of course. the tent city and

we have a responsibility to demystify and move beyond the clichÉs about the wisdom and courage of thegreatest generation. to tell a different story, but a true story. based on all the evidence we can find. the life of joseph kennedy was, for me, sort of an antique fun house mirror. which i looked at it long enough, it would reflect back to me. often in distorted form. images of events and people and places. which organized and arranged 20th century america. joseph kennedy was a invalid type figure. he was everywhere. he was born in 1888. he lived through world war i. the 120s. he lived in hollywood at the moment of transition from silent films to talking films. he was on wall street during the boom and bust. he worked as part of the franklin roosevelt campaign team. he was the first chairman of securities and exchange commission and the maritime commission and the first irish-american to be ambassador for the court of st. james to great britain. he was also the father of the president and attorney general. a senator and the woman who did more for the mentally disabled in this country

one of my personal stories of value, it helps to connect us because, i don't want to speak in cliche, but it's harder it -- to hate somebody when you know their story. common ground doesn't necessarily make us best friends but we start to thread community and we find acceptance for differences and compassion. today isn't about me, today is about do we have the courage it leave here today and not just say it was an interesting day, that each of us in this room is going to be inspired enough to take action, each one reaching one, and that's the only reason i would take the time to share a personal story is to know that you can walk out here and right now, today, we can make a difference. >> you know, i think we have a group of very powerful leaders here today. i think to build on what rick was really saying about taking some of the negative experiences that he had, that mike had growing up, and use them to power forward and use them to build some amazing organizations and we all want people in this room to do something. but there are limitations, limitations to your organization's capac

you know, a lot of people think that that's clichÉ butkk%( 1aÑ k tattooing or yellow hair, or what. -- i think it's unfortunate. too, i agree with most of the -- i think everything that supervisor campos said, and that is especially it's unfortunate that some agency, whether it's the human rights commission, or some civic leaders, couldn't just bring people together to discuss how to mitigate this issue, and the way it's castro. it's a very different scene from when i moved to the castro in 1982. so this whole again idea of expression and civil liberties and these sorts of issues i think can't be understated at all. and then finally, i think that supervisor campos again mentioned -- i mean just unfortunate that issues like nudity takes such a big level -- it takes a great deal of attention when you have all these issues around gang violence, that are happening, bullying, achievement gaps in high schools, cost of housing, unemployment, you have all these other issues that are so critical to how the quality of life and, you know, people's ability to stay in san francisco or not. and,

government service their number one motives should be to serve people who lost their id this may sound cliche but i strongly believe that once we get a certain number of people with the right mode of story about it will achieve a breakthrough and this is what we really need to do because we have lots and lots of problems that frustrate the people who are problems with health care education transporting for structure you name it there are a lot of things we need to change in our daily life so let's not waste our time let's start the changes i want to talk about in other subjects i know it's important he. used to look like a deal in it with more school being the hole in the center but no it's different how a sector of the most has been merged with moscow before and know the city looks like a keyhole and the most cohesion looks like a horseshoe i believe you've lost one eighth of a territory that a lot of lent. but you know that russian people believe that a horseshoe brings good luck but still you know there has always been this tendency for big cities spread out and take over areas around them
