others figure out a way to do their jobs and we can do it. let's just do it. we have a sense we will go forward and eliminate the second wednesday. we will end up meeting three times a month and to get from there. we can get this done. commissioner kingsley: you made a statement twice that i wanted to bring out into the open. we have canceled meetings because there has not been anything on the agenda. it was for a lack of quorum because people were out of town but i have never -- >> i misspoke. perhaps it is better to say we have had meetings that have been remarkably brief and unnecessary in light of their brevity. >> that is fine. i wanted to clarify. >> any public comment regarding the police commission? deciding to see how it works with a five month trial period. it is in -- your input. >> i am part of the public, i am here on my own volition. the sense of empowerment, no one pays me to show up. i am a bit upset that no one really shows appear beside me sometimes. -- up here besides me sometimes. i used to be a very -- until they started shifting the meeti

we do? -- no matter what they say about the contributions, what do we do? >> i want to see a discussion moved past the leaders. whoever we are talking about. we took a huge leap in the last few months. when we had for the first time -- not the first time, i should say. it happened before in the women's movement. but a leaderless movement. a proud and leaderless movement. what does that mean? was that crazy? was that not? -- next? no, that meant everybody becomes a leader. we have discovered something in the last few months, which is much bigger than any individual, leader or otherwise, and that is, the power of solidarity. people working together. you are not going to defend your house against a sheriff or a banker when foreclosure time comes all by yourself with a shotgun. that is when you need hundreds of people that is when you need scores and hundreds of people, when you are being evicted from your apartment. it is a strong part of the american tradition, the union movement, the civil ri

if you want to do more -- if you want to do less, that is -- we cannot do that. that is not a reasonable compromise. the reason there is such acrimony is because there are finally a group of republicans who says, enough. we are not doing more. we are not compromising on doing more. we will do less and you will compromise on how much less we do. [applause] to finish your comments, i would not cut the defense department. the number one priority of this country, of the federal government, is the defense of this country. [applause] if you look at defense spending as a percentage of the budget, it is roughly 20%. what was its 50 years ago? close to 60%. what is the problem? defense spending? nope. defense spending is not the problem. since it is the only thing the federal government does that no one else can do, that is the thing that will be held firm. the rest of the military budget will be frozen. that is not to say we will not cost anything. we are not going to sacrifice the national security of our country when that is not the problem adding to the deficit. final

do you understand that? >> 26 items, yes, i do. commissioner ckingsley: do you read this as being lechler? commissioner terman: i understand i want to make sure that officer tachihara understands. president mazzucco: have been patient with where you have been doing and i think other commissioners have been also. your problem is you play in a gray area. and your problem is when you're asked a question about do you understand this, i do, and i know you do. you have had negotiations represented by counsel at one point and you have looked at this agreement. there has been a lot of work and effort and you have had time to digest it and it is relatively simple. you cannot give a straight answer. when you're asked a question, or you a police officer in washington, d.c., you draw the proverbial fog ball. yes i was and this is when i served, and this had better be the truth. the car you have in that last answer that you do not have. for some strange reason your car mimics the car of the undercover car. same color, the same number of light -

can you tell me what you do? >> do like a restaurant. we just want to get some entertainment for the customer, light dinner entertainment. vice chair joseph: what kind of entertainment? >> singing karaoke. vice chair joseph: ok. anybody have any questions? commissioner cavellini: have you had a karaoke bar before? >> yes. commissioner cavellini: i am sorry. i do not speak chinese. in san francisco you had a karaoke bar? or you have been working at a carrier could bar before? >> mostly, i do entertainment around the bay area for many years. commissioner cavellini: can you tell me where? >> san francisco, the masonic center. a chinese concert over there. at the city hall. at the palace. vice chair joseph: mr. chang, unfortunately, your application is not filled out. many of -- i am going to say this the only way i know how. if you do not understand what i am saying, stop me. the application, the paper you submitted, is not filled out. there are many areas that you did not answer. for instance, what are your door policies is blank. describe

we do not expect what you do not inspect. and if you don't put into place policies that encourage -- i am not saying being a whistle- blower, but encourage proper at 6, and i think -- proper ethics, and i think greg suhr stated very properly its starts in the police academy. u.s. no other position probably in the united states -- certainly not for some of our elected officials. yet no one who gets more scrutiny and more background checks and psychological checks and an 18-month probationary period. we as law-enforcement administrators hope that those kinds of people who do not meet on moral and ethical standard, we hope they do not pass or get through. sometimes they do. i find it interesting that this is the -- it has been 20 years, 15 months, and two days since the rodney king incident in los angeles. when i watch that incident. -- when i watched that incident, it gave me shivers. what bothered me -- it was not only the people hitting rodney king -- but it was the other 19, 20 officers who stood around and did nothing. and

tavis: do you like doing the voice-over stuffed? >> i do. i can do books and stuff like this, too. i was nominated for a grammy because our produce the complete recordings of shakespeare's on it. it took a lot of wonderful actors together to do that. when i do these kinds of things, i go over the books of things that our record. 30% goes to the charity of choice. tavis: you live and you travel around the world in this wonderful career. you filmed around the world. there are two specific places of what to ask you about. one is china. >> i still have not been to china. my father grew crops in china. my mother went to china in 1947 with the united nations relief association. they met and married in china and lived there until 1949 s when all foreigners were expelled by mao. everything in our home, all of the antiques and the furniture and the rugs and everything comes from my father's family and several generations in china. my mother has banned back. she has been back twice. she went to the house where she and my father and his two aunts lived before the war. now there are 11 familie

how do we establish -- how do we know -- how to newspapers establish credibility? i saw this news reporter who put a piece on youtube about gavin newsom just walking away. so how did these organizations establish credibility? how are people able to see the problems with bias that will never come up? there is also a problem with advertisers, backers. a millionaire putting $500,000 or $1 million into a newspaper, and he will expect something in return. he may not want his coverage to be negative. so there are all these things. i wondered if anybody had any general comments about those. >> that is a really difficult problem. if we think about the way we understand journalism today, it really is an historical aberration. that is not cutting back. we had objective journalism, which created shared narratives, but the truth is what we only saw was the narrative from a particular perspective. now, we have chaos. i'm not saying that is not a problem, but on the other hand, we need to think about the fact that we have a lot more voices and a lot more information, and we need

i do not understand why would they do that. fe say they did not do it. it is kind of weird. >> of the security guard goes june a group of people waiting to get huandto a bus, do people respond to you? >> there are 40 people. the 40 people are drunk, and you have three guards, and after they get in front of our venue, it is not their responsibility anymore, so every time they come down, we have to get them moving. cracks do you know that your abc license says you are responsible for 50 feet in either direction of your club? >> i do understand. that is why we are trying to get them down the street. every time i tried to move, they say, they told us to wait for the bus here. i say, you have to move. people are drunk. >> you are outside working security. do you have a security training? >> no. >> you do not know techniques about moving people along the? >> we definitely move people along. we have such close proximity to the club next to us that once their patrons across to our club, they think it is no longer their responsibility, which is not the case. they

' do. they become mercantilists. they want trade barriers with cuba. how long do we need trade barriers with cuba? same way around the world. i want to make use of air 12,000 diplomats, talk to people and work out problems and be more engaged in the world. and use military force and violence as a last resort and a properly under the constitution and not allow a president to do it on his own or do it under authority from the united nations or nato and congress reneging on their responsibilities. i see myself as the freest trader in congress and i am an internationalist in this sense that it should be all pawlenty and you have more diplomacy with people. -- it should be all correct and you have more diplomacy with people. this is what we have is all due to george bush. what we have is all due to george bush. rick and said that we are for less war and all this, yet they end up doing more. as far as being isolationist, i think an isolationist is somebody who wants to wall themselves off. you he

>> yes, you do not have to do the fire walls. i am perturbed by the pictures of the back of the building. it does not look the best. again, i think we should look into that from housing inspection. that photograph looks like there is a lot of light going on. that would be something -- it could be part of a nearly year violation. i know we have a bunch of complaints on this building. somersault, some not resolved. some of them are held up because of appeals. that back wall did not look the best in the photograph. >> it also looks like it does not matched the drawing. >> it is hard to tell. some issues with the building. inspection services could get involved in the bathroom tissue and the maintenance of the building. i think they are. i do not have anything with me tonight. >> we will take public comment. >> thank you. to the comments he made earlier about giving a forum for people who do not have attorneys, i appreciate you remembering the details of my bathroom. i stand here today eight months later, six months after i saw you,

they do not want to do that. they really do not want to do that. they saw what happened in 2000. there are enough penstock people that will actually go somewhere else and can cause a huge ruckus. they do not have to go very far to think of an example of what happens when you pump on those that have left. imagine obama calling a press conference in going "i have decided that this year i am returning all the money i have received from wall street and i'm not taking one dime from wall street in this election right now." what you think would happen? think about the support he would have. how many in here went door to door and phone calls and everything in 20008? as, many people can wait to get back on the phone banks? it is not there. he could turn that around by not waiting until after the election but changing it right now. the majority is already with him. >> for those watching right now you are saying that -- who are saying that we have tried to eradicate poverty and we have for more money at poverty, there are more poverty programs than there have ever been, we have done this si

when you do that, you see, you do not change the song. you do not change the integrity of the song.ou make it even more lyrical and even more personal. trevor's reason for getting me to do that song is that he said it is perhaps more relevant now or socially just as much, just as important, just as relevant now as it was when the late marvin gaye originally wrote it and sang it. tavis: when you refer to it as a perfect song, this is one of those crazy the dates that those of us who are music lovers have all the time about to are the greatest songwriters and what are the greatest songs and who has the best tone and who has the best addiction. to my mind, and i have said this many times, i believe that "what's going on?" bayberry will be the best song ever written. that is a strange -- may very well be the best song ever written. that is a strange thing to say. when you say perfect, i guess that is it. >> by the way, we had this conversation as well, me and my buddy. there are two songs that come to mind. i think it really all depends on how you are as a person, though where -- where

if we do not want it, we do not need to use it. perhaps it might make sense for you to direct us to date for the meeting. supervisor campos: i think this is connected directly to cca and that he would be helpful for staff to get a sense from this commission on what dates might work in terms of a joint meeting and maybe take a couple of days to survey the members of the commission or maybe today to find those states and submit something to the commission. >> that is great. if you could just give us that direction, that would be fabulous. commissioner campos: unless there is objection, i think that direction is given. why don't we open up to public comment? any member of the public who would like to speak on item 5, if you could please come forward. i know that a number of these items, that the issue of cca will be coming at some point before the board. >> once again, eric brooks, san francisco green party and our city. just to quickly touch on the things you have touched on -- one, in reverse order, i think we do need a joint meetin

i'm not doing nothing i shouldn't be doing.ust -- not a pervert or nothing. >> no pervert. >> no, if she wanted a ride, i'll take her for a ride. not trying to be disrespectful. >> he is a motor mouth. almost like a cartoon character. he was talking so fast it was hard to understand what he was saying. >> you own the rig yourself? >> no, sir. >> so you work for a company that owns that rig? >> yes, sir. >> and how do you think they'd take to the fact that you're out driving the rig around going to meet a 15-year-old girl? >> they would look on it in a bad note. >> how did you meet her? >> i just met her -- i was just on the computer. met her on the computer. >> on the computer? >> yes, sir. >> and do you often get on the internet and chat up teenage girls? >> i don't get on the internet. she's the first girl i talked to -- >> you know how many times i hear that? >> you hear it all the time. i tell you. >> why should i believe you? >> i get on it one day or two days a month, you know, if and when i come into town. i come home ma

before you start, what do you do? stop, look, listen and think. any time you pull up to an incident or you see something, you take a breath, assess the situation, use all your senses and think about what you are going to do. those are all components of what we call the size-up. there are many components to size up. what's one of the components to size up? gathering facts. you want to assess the type of damage there is. what kind of situation is it? what is the issue? is it a medical problem? if it's a medical, is it a big hurt or a little hurt? is it a rescue situation and if it's a fire, do you have the resources to control or extinguish that fire? how about your situation, do you have all your people? do you have all the resources that you need? have you collected all the material that you need if you are going to start doing a lifting exercise because someone is trapped? because you never start a rescue, you never start a lifting exercise, never start anything, unless you know you are going to be able to finish it, have enough of the resources

[applause] what we have to do is deal with entitlements. how do we do that? i break ithen into to pieces. one is the entitlement programs and the other is medicaid and medicare. they are anti-party types of fooprograms. there is a whole host of school lunch programs. a whole host of them that are out there that people are entitled to if they meet certain income qualifications. these are all programs that come in my opinion, have absolutely no business at the federal level. [applause] under the constitution, but under common sense, we do not need to be solving these problems at a level so far removed from the people that they are trying to help. we need to understand the principles of our country, our founders, was to build a great nation from the bottom up and to be able to solve problems closest to where the problem is. some problems are beyond the family's ability to solve, the community or the churches ability to solve. but we should not automatically, as we have done over the many years and as, automatically go to the highest level of government to solve

they are doing well.e have a lot to learn on how to organize and structure schools and we are grateful for the generosity, the charter movement in new york state doesn't get equal funding. the philanthropic community has allowed us to start up schools and innovate. >> there is another group that says it is impacting things and we don't like it in our neighborhood. you are going beyond harlem in new york and you have gotten pushback from parents in some areas. basically they are saying charter schools take away from traditional neighborhood schools. what do you say to that? >> it is often not the parents. it is the teachers union. they hire organizations like acorn, they actually rent protesters. one has to be careful about where the opposition is coming from, but we had 9,000 parents apply to our schools last year for 900 spots. so we clearly have community support. >> the numbers tell the story right. there eva, sounds great. thank you for all that you are doing. appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> we

do we procedurally need to do anything for postponing? we voted to suspend the rules, but we are not actually going to do an action? >> i move that we postpone action on this until the call of the chair. >> to the call of the board chair? >> at our first meeting in january, we always re-adopt our rules. we would have to adopt a new version of this. >> suspend the rules and not re- adopt the rules. that would tell the public that we are in the process of doing best. >> if we did not approve the rules in january and postponed those until we get through them, then we could potentially do that. >> i need a second on commissioner wynns notion. commissioner fewer: yes. commissioner maufas: yes. commissioner norton: yes. vice-president yee: aye. president mendoza: yes. >> it is unanimous. >> do you want to have a deadline by which you give us your comments? should we say january 15? we are about to launch into the holiday. >> the second? >> how about that monday or tuesday. over the holiday, if you could skim through this and get your questions

this is why i do what i do. as we know from the seigenthaler incident, we know what wikipedia says matters. maybe the simplest reason is because when you go to google, you go to any search engine and wikipedia will be returned as one of the top results. it has a reputation of an impact. whether there are gaps in accuracies or distortions, at those matter to the people they are about. wikipedia can be difficult to interact with. of times they can be helpful, especially if someone shows up and works for a company but does not know a lot about it. chances are they will not do a good job of interacting. i tried to be a sherpa to them. >> go back to the computer. if i am a parent or a politician and comes to you and says teach me about this, tell us more about this site and what we should know. >> i have no idea where to begin. that is a huge topic. there are many points of entry to that. people are generally not in it for -- they're interested in a specific page. why does it say what is says that a lot of people do

i do not want to see more homeless familiesi do not want e homeless families, and i do not want to seee homeless families on the waiting list to get into a shelter. i would like to ask him to apologize to their families for what happened last week, because what he is saying is not a crisis in san francisco, it is a crisis. thank you. i am waiting for an answer. [applause] >> next speaker, please. >please, i want to go through the testimony, and with so much clapping generally not allowed in to keep it to a minimum. thank you. >> gracias. >> thank you for everything. >> [speaking spanish] >> first, we have a lot of feelings. we feel a lot of pain that with all of this trouble. obviously for the kids, because when they asked when windier -- when we're going to have our own place to play, we cannot find an answer to that question. [>> [speaking spanish] >> what are we supposed to say? we need to lie? i do not think that is the good way to teach your children, but sometimes i like to my daughter. >>i like to heard telling her we're going camping. she does not know what is camping, but i sa

what do we have to do to make sure it does not happen again? there are 35 other similar connections in place we all want to take a close look at. we have reviewed our design standards and construction management procedures. we're starting to make change now. even though we do not have the definitive cause or set up houses in place -- or set of causes in place, we are starting to do the reports we can look at it and make some good decisions on how to move forward between us and our cora

what do you do. sometimes a different school will set up a different program for a special ed students. sometimes, the parents are not easy to go to the school. sometimes, they will stay in school. >> thank you. this is a suggestion and things for us to reflect on as a board. what happens to the special ed students there? i am wondering if that is possible that we could give access to elementary and middle schools? >> yes. [laughter] >> ok, good. thank you for bringing that forward to us. commissioner wynns: thank you for your work. it is very important to hear from you and how programs are developing. i really want to thank you about this. it is great. this is something i want to show to other people. when i try to talk about our language programs, it is hard to be -- to do it in a concise manner that people can really understand. we are trying to talk about how they work together, etc. that is really important. i want to ask to the same question we ask you all the time. but expand a little bit. can

most property owners do not want to do that.ere is case law that says the property owner is obligated to let us in without a warrant, but if he refuses, that is the warrant that week -- that is the course that we take. >> anything to add to that? is that correct? >> the only thing that i wanted to make clear was the order of abatement that was near something that needed to be visible. the fact that they did not allow the routine inspection, i do not know that that is within your jurisdiction. blacks there is a reference to them. >> the inspection of the work that you reserved to have done. >> so, the abatement order is for the paint? >> and the step. the ability for the the city to make the inspection -- the inability for the city to make the inspection to confirm that the work has been done. >> if you visibly solve these items without the property owner present, could you not go back and confirm that they were done without the property owner consent? >> now we do get back to routine inspection honor -- issues. because you faile

do that. i do think that the mayor's office is coming from a good place. i office is trying to approach this in a way that leads to as many jobs being created. as we have heard here, and the mayor's office itself acknowledges, the number of jobs should not be the only focus. it is the quality of the jobs that are created. and the as important as the small business community is in making public policy in san francisco, there are many other stakeholders have to be at the table. certainly workers, but beyond that, it is not just jobs. there are number of issues connected to jobs that have to be taken into account. health care is an important issue. it is directly connected to a job. does that mean matter should go before the health commission? that is a consideration. if you are looking at working conditions, we passed unanimously wage theft legislation and yet, that remains a very important and serious problem in san francisco. i do not know that we have everything in place that we need to to fu

what do we do? we say to younger workers we are going to tax you more and give benefits to high income seniors who have paid into social security, or are we going to make you pay more, slow down the economy, hurt the economy, and take more resources out of you? i have a hard time seeing how that is fact -- out that is fair. franklin roosevelt would not have seen that as fair. we need to look at changing that. there is a whole bunch of ways to do that brigid there are a lot of ways you can structure it so higher income seniors -- another thing -- dependent benefits. we have benefits that go to children of parents who rabbi. absolutely legitimate. a lot of those children, though, also get benefits if the mother or father -- in both cases the father -- turn 65. the child of a 65-year-old gets benefits. most of the 65-year-old dance i know usually are not hurting for cash. -- that's by no usually are not hurting for cash. -- dads i know usually are not hurting for cash. there are some things we can do.

do you think that's what they're trying to do? >> i think the international strategy here-- and this really has been an international strategy-- to apply sanctions, to apply diplomatic pressure on iran, to try to convince iran that if, you know, if they want to do what's right, they need to join the international family of nations and act in a responsible way. i think that the pressure of the sanctions, i think the pressure of diplomatic pressures from everywhere-- europe, the united states, elsewhere-- is working. to put pressure on them, to make them understand that they cannot continue to do what they're doing. are they trying to develop a nuclear weapon? no. but we know that they're trying to develop a nuclear capability. that's what concerns us. and our red line to iran is, do not develop a nuclear weapon. that's a red line for us. >> schieffer: rick santorum said we should already be making it known to them and to the rest of the world that we're planning an attack to take out their nuclear facilities, and that we should let

i do not remember the question. >> i do not either. i think we're getting close to the time where we're going to take questions from anyone who wants to get up and ask them. line up at the microphone. in the meantime, i was wondering -- actually, someone in the audience was wondering. alan -- >> yes? >> what don't we know about billy crystal and/or larry david that you want to share with the international radio audience? which can probably be picked up in l.a. billy is like my closest friend. he and larry are both my buddies. larry david, when we all started out, we used to sit back in the back of the improvisation or whatever club we were in it just to watch larry. he was the comedian's comedian. back then he had hair like larry from the three stooges. he had wire rim glasses. he would get on a stage on a friday night at the improv. the crowd was predominantly suburban predominantly wouldblue hair. a pure suburban crowd. larry would get up. he will look at them and the first words out of his mouth -- you know, i feel very comfortable

rite aid do not want -- >> they do not want the roof deck. >> you mentioned that was a bit long. what do they normally see? >> people like to get it as quick as possible. a few days, a couple weeks. i am not sure why we are waiting so long. i did see someone was out of the country, but i do not know. there must be a reason why it took almost eight months to get a permit. i just want to point that out. >> i do not know if it is a question for you in planning, but if that is an error in, is that a fatal flaw? >> if something is going over a different property line, in condos we sometimes to get this problem. we would look into that and see if the plans are drawn in correctly, and we would siphon for about region -- would cite them for that, so it could be a notice of violation, but it is just like going over property lines, so that would have to be fixed if found to be wrong, but i do not know how that was shown on the plans. if we received a complaint, we would look into that, and we do all the time. >> i am more concerned about whether or not it constitutes, because of that error

you do not have money to spend. you want to be out with your friends. what you do? you look for a restaurant to hang out in all my. it is a cool place. it is a central family place, because there are not a lot of places for people to go who are under 21. we want kids in the city. we need places for them to go. on a friday night, teenagers would love to go to an establishment like this. i think it is right. the gentleman who plays pool described the place he goes to as family-oriented. if the place is not serving alcohol, they would not have to restrict the people that went into that place. not to mention that people admitted in the audience that there are a lot of children in that neighborhood. it seems there would be a need for places for young people, positive places for young people to hang out after dark. when i was growing up, people hung out in fields and got drunk because there was no place to go. i do not think you want to see kids drinking. i was lucky that i did not choose to drink, but a lot of kids did, cause there was nothing to do. they would wait for

>>what do you think individuals need to be doing to ensure a secure retirement? are there things they should be thinking about on a day-to-day, month-to-mth basis? >> save, save, save. >> pay yourself first. >> pay yourself first. >> get over that $3 a day cup of coffee if you are a young person and by the timime you are 65 th is $33,000. save $25 extra a week if you are 25 years old and with a reasonable return, you have $165,000 in your account. so savave, save, save. second thing, think broadly out a long-term strategy. do not get swayed by the most recent headline. do not jump in and out of the markets s or try to time. your strategy should reflect who you arere. holongo you expect to live? probably longer than you may imagine. what your job prospects are and risk appetite is. it has to start with partipating in saving. if you don't do tha you can't do the other things. >> wonderful to see you. >> thank you for having m me on >> roger ferguson of tiaa-cref. he is the banker overseeing $3 trillion in assets. jpmorgan chase dooim jamie dimon will be with us and

do you see my point? >> i do. >> do you have a comment on the show? that went absolutely nowhere.stand it. you at home know what i was saying. e-mail us. to leave a voicemail call 212-462-5050. still to come, half time report from tv's andy levy. can't stand the guy. >> tonight's half time report is sponsored by ice fishing. the sport of cashing -- catching fish on a frozen body of water. thanks, ice fishing. >>>bon-jour. let's see if we got anything wrong. for that we go to andy levy. >> dsk doesn't know if he slept with prosti's. either his wife doesn't care he sleeps with other women, in which case it is fine. or he is cheating on them whether they are prostitutes or not. >> but it was an argument about swingers. >> it is a moral judgment and one i agree with. >> you know the difference between that and swingers is swingers are on both sides of the equation ugly. a party that involves prostitutes are probably better looking. >> that's the thing. i think it shoots the hole in his theory. the hot ones were probably prostitutes. >> right. >> tom you said you like how we shortened

if they do not do that, it does not matter what the lawyers agree upon. at the end of the day, the officers will be held accountable to the public officials and public officials -- if the public officials do not hold them accountable, and nothing positive happens in the long run. [applause] >> i think john is right. one of the important things about this conference is san francisco is different. i cannot imagine sitting at the table of the chief of police of oakland or sacramento, and the chief of police being here. it does not end the questions. it is a conversation that has to get down to important issues. it has to start and meetings like this are a start to recognize. i think it is a real positive step. [applause] >> and although i would argue many of the things that were said today on the panel -- and i cannot believe i am going to say this -- i completely agree with john burris and stuart hanlon.

do not push yourself if you do not have the money. >> if we do get up to a certain threshold, we will possibly need food donations space. preferably, it will be dry and cool. >> also, we will be looking for -- >> to different aspects. if you are interested in being involved, there is sanitation, possibly closing. i do not know if that will be a big issue. yes. it seems it has been enough. thank you. >> last minute, does anybody have anything that needs to be covered before we close out? ok. i think that's -- all right. >> don't put that on me, dude. that's you guys. >> unless you want to do it friday. maybe monday. >> the 26th? >> christmas eve will be hectic. either friday or monday, i think, we could do it. i am giving you the days. >> let's just do friday. saturday? sunday? monday? tuesday? wednesday? i am just trying to see. we are not getting a lot of consensus on this. >> we could take this next week off for the holiday and meet some time before the new year. >> it is just an idea. >> do we want to meet this week or after? let us go with monday the 26. the location -- do you wan

why do i know that number? you do? yeah, let me put it in the directory. it's randy north. is she calling north? she's not. toller is. i want you to call him back, randy. call him back. no, he, he knows that i'm in here. toller doesn't know anything, or he wouldn't be calling you every five seconds. well, what do you want me to say? caine: we want you to ask him... i want you to ask him what he wants. (sighs) (clears throat) i-i know what he wants. when we were in... we were cellmates, and he, he, he mouthed off to one of the guards, okay? and they roughed him up a bit, and when they were... when they were dragging him off to solitary, this... this necklace, this stupid necklace, falls out of his pocket, and, and i picked it up. where you going with this? when i ditched the car for him, he went crazy on me over this, this, this necklace. he knew that i had it. you were just willing to forget the fact that you stole from me? jack, i just didn't know that it meant that much to you. i mean, come on, it's just a necklace. (groans) just a necklace. no. that's not what i meant. w

i think he's doing a great job. >> how do you think he's doing? >> that is a tough question. >> thank you for asking heidi klum about obama since she's -- >> why shouldn't i ask heidi klum. >> since she's german and a supermodel. >> are you american yet? >> no. >> she's an american citizen, why shouldn't i ask her? >> you can ask her but an odd choice? >> i think it's really pompous when people say you can only ask politicians or serious people. >> you're exactly right, you can ask anybody. it does throw everybody off. i would like to ask you what your thoughts on obama are. >> like everybody else, i was enthralled when he came to office, he won the presidential race. i remember seeing him at the beverly wilshire hotel one night about six weeks before he won the election. i had never seen him in the flesh. there was a fund-raiser for him and about 1,000 people waiting in the valet parking area to get a glimpse of this guy. all this hype and he got out of the car and looked like a political rock star and flashed the grin and they went crazy, i thou

you got to do whatever you got do to get the job done. >> do the streets ever leave you?> no, absolutely not. you don't want them to anyway. you have to have that to tap back into if need be. especially now being a father, four kid, two beautiful daughters. >> this is a fascinating way your life has evolved, you're now in this very protective position, two sons, two girls. and also you have your faith. i've read that you go to catholic mass every day. >> yeah. i don't go to mass necessarily every day but i definitely go in the church every day. i like to go in there 15, 20 minutes, say my prayers. >> what's it bring you? >> a reminder of what's important, expressing my gratitude, and reminding me what i need to stay away from. >> when you pray, what do you pray for? >> i don't pray to be a success at the box office. i pray to be a good servant to god, a friend, a brother, a uncle, a good follower to those serving good and doing the right thing and people can i look up to and try to emulate. >> one of the final parts of your rehabilitation has been the removal of your tatt

to do.chanisms are built in, are they going to take care of that? how are we going to make those hard decisions and how will we inform ourselves of the best way to do it? >> basically, if we think about the coverage problem and the cost problem, the coverage problem, we sort of knew what to do. it was a matter of crafting it in a way that it would get through tough politically. the cost problem is much harder. it's because we just do not know. we do not know what will work scientifically and what will pass politically. health care is the single largest and single fastest- growing sector of the economy and we have no idea what works. it is crazy, right? what do you do in that situation? if you need to learn and research on what makes health care work. however, once you mention this bill, then that -- then people say, that means the government is going to ration my care. there is $1 billion to be prepared this institute to study what works and what does not. but the results of that are not all

physical manifestation of the role, how do you, aness what do you do physically that is different thane. >> rose: physically. >> yes, physically because he is a deformed king and there are actors that who didn't do that much, i think he had aidth erred hand so all about the dexterity what he could with one hand, anthony sheer was look like and eraordinary endunce test because he was in those sort of things where he was like this. now i have a brace and a cain and a hump and i twist m body in ways that require a good deal of treatment afterward, but i actually ended up going on utube and i was looking at an interview with olivier and i am watching and just innocently watching it and he suddenly starts to talk about enduring the production of richard iii he went through, a tremendous bout of stage fright, and he literally mentioned that word and i went stop, i don' i don'to see that! >> rose: oh, no. >> am i crazy. >> rose: why am i here? >> and did you watch it, though did you see why he had stage fright? >> no, i didn't want to know and i don't care, because every actor i think to some

we do not put on records of chickens clucking, waterfalls falling, some of us do, but the real musichis arrangement of organized sound we call music. i have to say, we do not really know. the closest we have got is music appears to be metaphorical for movement and instruments sometimes sound like a mother singing, crying. and the only thing we know for sure is that music is activating a lot of regions in the brain. i think the best explanation that i will propose now, tentatively, as it has to do with expectation and release. when we hear a piece of music, because it has a pulse, we almost always know when the next bibelot be, but we do not know what it will be. the job of the composer is to reward us by playing what we expect, but violating those expectations just often enough of the time to keep us interested. when the composer can violate those expectations in an interesting way and give us a resolution that we would have never predicted, then they have got us for life. the brain love learning new things, taught something, and music is, in effect, teaching us something. there is a

the ugly thing i couldn't do was nothing i could do.avis: i pressed on that point because, again, reading about your life for years, it always fascinated me how you and others i admire and respect take the negative, what they mean for evil and turn it into good. you take the negative and turn it into a positive. so you're forcing your agent to tell you what they said precisely because you want to figure out another way to do everything you can -- >> right. tavis: absent those things you can't touch. >> correct. tavis: that's a brilliant strategy, though, to take what you can do and make it work. >> i'm going to get a little political here but. tavis: please. i can handle that. >> isn't that what is going on in this world? and first, i personally would like to thank you for doing your job, for your poverty tour with dr. cornell west, for letting someone like van jones be heard for focusing on the poor, which seems to have been forgotten in this equation of the middle class struggling. yeah, but too many poor people. but isn't that what -

doing what i do, i need my family and can go back home and feel safe doing what i do. >> if i could takethe money or the women, which would you rather keep? >> did he have definitely the women, piers. is this a setup? >> it's a good answer. >> don't you take away my women, please. don't you do that to me. >> this about this, bruno? this is a big question. >> i'm good. >> does the money in the end mean that much? it's obviously great to have it, but does it mean that much to you. >> no. no. i'm not doing -- of course, like i said, being able to buy my mom a house, that's something awesome that i've always wanted to do. i don't think -- if you're doing music for money, i don't know if you can be taken seriously. >> you've been involved with songs about desperately wanting to be a bill air. >> that's the beauty about billionaire. if you listen to the lyrics, it's not about -- it is. we touch on it a little bit. why i wrote that, i wrote that when i was flat broke. i just helped write a song for flow rider that was the number one song in the world. biggest downloads. number one song for week

do-si-dos? >> do-si-done. >> yeah. we got to sell these cookies.row up to be like snookie. >> be prepared mother -- >> jimmy: all right ladies. later. thank you so much. i appreciate that, girls. [ cheers and applause ] thank you, girls. >> hey jimmy, can i have a shout out? >> jimmy: okay, go for it. >> i'd like to give a shout out to nuts. [ light laughter ] i love all kinds of nuts. i love big nuts, i like teeny tiny nuts, i even like putting two nuts in my mouth at one time. slap those bad boys in my mouth and just chomp, chomp, chomp. delicious nuts! >> jimmy: all right. just to be clear, you're talking about acorns and stuff? >> testicles. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i got it. okay, got it. [ cheers ] >> yo, jimmy. let me do shout out right quick. >> no problem. sure, tariq, go right ahead. >> shout out to the month of january. >> jimmy: oh, yeah! [ cheers ] >> i'm talking new year's resolutions, going sledding with the family, and play-off football. but when the game is on -- ♪ -- that's when game's on in my kitchen. i tackle my tailgating taste

do it.you die guys are trying to deal with it and the fact that you are trying to fend off this or at least engage the president in the issue, the fact that he took the opportunity to start talking to you about something you characterized your last meeting with him -- i find it remarkable. i guess i am not surprised that he did this with you. but i find it remarkable that he is so thin skinned. >> well, you know, he is very, very sensitive. it's unfortunate because, i mean, we should be talking about the important things that america is facing and what arizona is facing. it's all about the economy. it is all about jobs. of course, i believe america is very concerned about getting our borders secure. we're the gateway for the illegal drugs and for the drug cartel and it is violence and it's their federal responsibility to take care of those kinds of issues and we get no results. when he comes and i want to talk to him, i mean, i love my country. i know the president loves his country. but ple

what is the consumer to do? what do do you?st: well, the consumer needs to be very aware of what is going on in the banking world. consumes are aware of food prices, very aware about gas prices, which gassization has the best deal, and they don't pay attention to the bank until the bank becomes completely abusive. and, instead, you need to be ahead of the curve and say my local neighborhood credit union here, my regional bank, is not messing with the debit card fees. i will be aware of my openings so i am not overcharged. >>neil: i have followed you for many, many years and you have been hospitable when i come do your neck of the woods but when you eat out, do you just pay with a bill, a wad of cash? like uncle vinnie? >>guest: the last time we ate out you picked up the bill. >>neil: if the debit card is dicey, it is not practical to carry a bunch of cash? >>guest: well, i do both, cash in my pocket at this moment, and i have a debit card. and a debit card on my business and personal account so, usually depending on the restaur

we do those things institutions always say they want to do. we want to get crazy and cross- disciplinary around the shop. let's sit on the floor. let's play foosball. but if you let people loose in an environment -- people will always give to a greater gift. it is just a principle. if a group get together to give a gift to an entire city, it is easy to find people who will give to that. and the consequence is, you can learn a lot. talk about a networking opportunity. but nobody ever went there to network. they went out there to give their energy, imagination, their heart to something. >> there is that collaboration, the cross-disciplinary thing that happens out there, but i also feel like there is a bit of a sense of competition. people are trying to outdo each other, try to outdo each other trt impressive thing. >> that is human nature. i read a few years ago somebody complaining, i remember the good old days. you could put up a pink flamingo in front of your tent and it was cool. now with all of these big projects, i feel few tile -- futile.
