i mean we have to -- the saying cornell west that justice is the public face of love. if in fact we want that to be true we have to be just with one another and i think that's what we're trying to do in oakland. [applause] >> district attorney. >> well first of all i would like to thank you for putting this together. i also want to thank katie miller and rebecca from my office and consistently at the forefront and in the community and common sense media who became a partner last year and katie and her people and rebecca and the school district we started public information a year ago and my partner richard carranza who is an incredible superintendent, someone i am proud to work with. first of all let me tell you that bullying takes many different shapes. it can be physical, it can be emotional, it can be verbal. i can tell you having been a non english speaking student and immigrant early on and quite frankly times that were very different that we were bullied all the time and didn't know it was bullying and right to the point i actually dropped out of school, and i th

perhaps professor cornell west put it best when he described the cuts who put it as morally obscene andican leadership in the house insists, the bill is designed to promote work. >> most people don't choose to be on food stamps. most people want a job. most people want to go out and be productive. so that they can earn a living, so that they can support a family. so that they can have hope for a more prosperous future. they want what we want. >> they want what we want. us and them. and we wonder why there is inequality. for more, i'm delighted to say that i'm joined by the star of that documentary, former labor secretary under president bill clinton, professor robert reich. and the film's director, jay cooper cornbluth. professor risch, last year mitt romney told america that the nation is not endangered by an income gap, it's endangered by 47% of the population who are fr freeloaders and moochers. who is right, you or mr. romney? >> well, unfortunately, romney is absolutely wrong. and he's dangerously wrong. i mean, one of the reasons we have so many people on food stamps is because th
