as george and harvey were. each one of us is the story teller of our lives and the lives of the people we've lost. and that wasn't always the case, as willie mentioned. but because of the likes of george and harvey and so many others, all the way to our mayor ed lee, all of us have voice. all of us can tell the story. so, let's crowd source this thing. let's tell the real stories of george and harvey. stories of their hard work and politics and the families and loved ones who surrounded them, of the moments we met them on the street or on their campaigns, in the castro or north beach, the vacations, the arguments, the jokes they told, the wild times they lived through, the change they made, and the lives they lived. thank you. (applause) >> thank you, jonathan. that was beautiful. i think this is a nice segue into the san francisco gay men's chorus who have been standing here patiently. i would like

i think that george's, george's proclivities were always in and around social justice. i know that he was raised catholic. so was i. 16 years of catholic school has made me the man i am today. [laughter] >> and harvey influenced by jewish culture, you know, i don't think it's ever been explored enough. but if you talk to every brit, you know that harvey was a very, very much impacted by the holocaust. you know, if you remember, it happened in the '40s. it's only 20 years or so since he came onto the scene. and i think he was able to transfer, you know, that tragedy and that oppression into what was happening with gay people. he was very scrappy. i wanted to acknowledge two people who were very supportive of harvey milk and george moscone, and both of them have left us and that's howard wallace and hank wilson. (applause) >> what i loved about them was, what i loved about them was they knocked back a few and really get into it with harvey about different issues. but the comic was always there. and i think that's the beauty of san francisco. i think that we were able to t

>> george: today on christian world news, iran elects a new president. what does he believe, and what will the impact be on christians? >> wendy: plus, secret believers, christians from several nations the former soviet union came together recently. we were there to witness this once in a lifetime event. >> george: and she truly is the blind leading the blind. but this christian woman is helping muslim children overcome their disabilities and live their lives to the fullest. >> george: historic, the islamic republic of iran has a new president. hello, everyone, i'm george thomas. >> wendy: and i'm wendy griffith. after eight turbulant years of makmud ahmadinejad, iran has a new president. his name is haseed ruwan assa assani. >> reporter: iran noos new leader is western educated, with a long resume in iran's revolution. he presents a softer image. his election led some western elections to brand him a moderate, who can change iran. hebrew university professor moshi says he differs from macmoud in a few ways. >> this nice-looking man, has a fatherly face,

thanks, george. stay with us.e'll be right back. >> george: cbn's "orphans' promise" is literally bringing light to an orphanage in cambodia. >> wendy: teams installed a solar-powered system to the orphanage. and it runs lights so the 90 children can study in the evenings. bedrooms and classrooms are also cooler now that fans can run. i know they're loving that. nothing like a.c. when it is 1 °. >> george: that's right. folks, thank you so much for joining us on this week's edition of christian world news. >> wendy: until next week, from all of us here, good-bye and god bless you. >> robert lopez was raised by his lesbian mother and her partner and he embraced the homosexual lifestyle. in his late 20's he unexpectedly fell in love with a woman. his story and thoughts on the current debate about redefining marriage, next. >> hello and welcome to significant insights. i'm jerry rose. today we're bringing you a very interesting conversation between greg and dr. robert lopez. he is an assistant professor in the englis

>> yes, i would say so, george. mean civil war can happen at any time, and it really appears it is descending into that. and because of what is going on now with the bombings of markets and roadside bombs, there is a lot of fear there, definitely. the believers there are scared, yet on the other hand, there are many that are willing to stay and advance the gospel. but definitely the church there has been decimated. >> george: this is muslim on muslim, shiia verses sunni, right? >> absolutely. you've got your radical elements of both those groups. you've got al-qaeda and all of these other groups that are bombing each other. of course, the christians get caught in the middle. the reality is many of the christians have left the country. >> george: i reported on this over the years since the war in iraq. the reality is that saddam hussein was good for the christians. he protected them. but now with him gone, it is a free-for-all in the country. and as you said, the christians are caught in the cross-fire. >> reporter:

george zimmerman. george zimmerman who? all right, good. you're on the jury. nothing? that's funny. >> i mean, a joke in the middle of a murder, an awkward joke at that? it didn't seem to go over too well in the courtroom. and so much so that he tried to patch things up and explain the unorthodox comment when he came back. listen. after break, he came back and tried to say this. >> no more bad jokes, i promise that. i'm convinced it was the delive delivery, though. i really thought that was sorry. i'm sorry if i offended anyone about that. my focus is on the detail. and if i have to sacrifice passion, it's not because i don't feel passionate about this case. it's been my life's work for the last year. but it's because that's not -- i don't want that to get in the way, even if it means it's boring or somewhat technical. i want the information before you that you may consider in evaluating the evidence. >> does something like this hurt the defense? >> this was so beyond inappropriate, this is a murder trial where a 17-year-old teenager has been killed. i was stunned by i

self-defense or murder, the george zimmerman trial. every night this week, we'll be digging deeper with the best legal team around and frequently with the principals in the case themselves. tonight, powerful, emotional testimony about trayvon martin's final moments and a legal battle over the 911 tapes. from six months before the 911 tapes that were recorded before the shooting, recordings the state believes will speak to george zimmerman's state of mind to his unjustified suspicion, they say, of trayvon martin. first, the latest on everything that happened today from martin savidge who joins us now. so, what new evidence do we hear today in the courtroom? >> reporter: it was photographs, anderson. i've seen all the photographs in this case, but i had not seen these before. these were photographs of the body of trayvon martin laying on the ground. i don't care who you are, they have a strong impact to see a young person you know lying lifeless on the ground. so clearly it would impact the jurors and it impacted everyone else in the cou

george zimmerman. george zimmerman who? all right, good, you're on the jury. nothing?t is funny. >> that is where the week started with memorable opening statements, memorable for different reasons, lisa, what can we expect to hear and see next week? who wille testifying for the state. >> there is still a lot. the pd, the investigator, and if i were the prosecution, i would end with the family of trayvon martin, saying that the screams they hear just before the gunshot, those are trayvon martin's screams. >> this idea that even if the jury concludes that george zimmerman was in fact, profiling trayvon martin that night, even he have they conclude that he could still be found not guilty, how is that? >> the prosecution has to show that he killed trayvon martin intentionally with a depraved heart. that is a very high legal standard. to say you profiled someone, you're suspicious of someone in the neighborhood, even for racial reasons, that is offensive, obnoxious, but not anywhere near the depraved heart. >> lisa bloom, thanks to you, as well. we'll see you back here wit

george zimmerman says what are you talking about? does that sound like language of someone hunting someone down? >> i want to talk about the language they used. let's listen. >> people that you live around and with call white people creepy ass crackers? >> not creepy, but cracker, yeah. >> so the creepy is the pervert part you were talking about? >> yeah. >> forget that for a second. in the culture that you live in, in your community, people call people there call white people crackers? >> yes, sir. >> and do they use the "n" word regularly? >> yes, sir. >> you are saying so did trayvon martin? he referred to people as crackers? >> i don't recall, sir. >> to you, what is the defense trying to do and did they succeed? >> of course they succeeded. i really am at a loss as to how anybody is going to say this was a good day for the prosecution. understand what happens here. you have an audience. your audience is not the people watching tv. your audience is not us here on tv. it's the six people in the jury box. the six people in that jur

it was george zimmerman. it was george zimmerman on the bottom. that was unbelievable. the other thing is witness number 21 who was the officer zimmerman. he said something that also was unbelievable gift to the defense. he said that when he asked and when he was talking to george zimmerman after arresting him, that george had a very confused look on his face as he was describing the fact that he was calling for help and nobody came, which also corroborated george zimmerman's story but jon good's story that he came out, saw george zimmerman calling for help. they yelled, he didn't respond, went back in and all of a sudden we have this terrible tragedy and finally, i heard y'all say that the prosecution ended on a strong note, that may be true, but the defense was able to establish that there were wounds all around his head. why? well that supports the rolling around theory on the ground in the scuffle. he also held up that photo of george zimmerman with the nose that's like 20 times bigger than it should be a dozen times for the jury to see and finally, what's the last

sometimes it was the words she attributed to george zimmerman. sometimes she left out the racial remarks that trayvon martin made of zimmerman. it went back and forth like that. and other times it seemed like it became less about the testimony and more about a test of wills. take a listen. >> so the last thing you heard was some kind of noise, like something hitting somebody? >> trayvon got hit. >> you don't know that, do you? >> no. >> you don't know that trayvon got hit. >> he -- >> you don't know that trayvon at that moment take his fist and drive it into george zimmerman's face, do you? >> no, sir. >> reporter: the no sir could be interpreted is that she's denying what don west is saying. it went back and forth. >> her testimony today, there were a lot of questions and clarifying about race. how did that play out? >> reporter: well, you know, race, of course, has been a key factor in this story ever since the beginning. in fact, many say that's what took it from a local tragedy and propelled it to a national debate. but today what don west wa

george zimmerman does not have the burden. the prosecution has the burden, and it's not preponderance of evidence, it's not clear and convincing evidence, it's beyond a reasonable doubt to disprove self-defense. so when sunny, you say there is ambiguity, that goes to the benefit always of george zimmerman. >> mark, you agree with that? >> can i echo that? >> let mark go. >> what's fascinating to me at least about this case is that you find here that it's the -- that last clip that you showed illustrates it, and we said it, we discussed it before with the type of jurors the defense wants. this has kind of flipped the criminal justice system on its head. you have the prosecutors basically in this case, and the ex-prosecutors when it comes to sunny, arguing as if they were a defense lawyer, and you have the defense here arguing as if they're the prosecution. they have inverted -- this case is a wonderful inversion of the roles of the prosecution and the defense. >> i want to let our prosecution team come in, but we have to take a

that we have to go along with the americans let's go to the george george costanza he called time equal time equal time bruce jump in please. look look i mean i would agree with george on this i mean our surveys show that eight in ten germans and a majority of the brits and six in ten french are opposed to arming the syrian rebels seventy percent of americans are opposed to arming the syrian rebels even after the president said that assad was using chemical weapons so i'm not trying to pose the publics against the elites i think he's right when he says that if we were to involve ourselves in syria as not only the u.s. has said they want to do but also the british and french governments or said they want to do it would it be against the widespread opposition of publics in all of those countries ok it would also be against the opposition of people in the region only the jordanians in our surveys want the west to become involved in syria everybody else in the region says stay out even though they say we're terrified that conflict could spread to our country ok so who's right ok george jump

george, zimmerman's neighbor, george good, he's a state witness but he corroborates zimmerman's story he was being pummelled in that fight. tell us about the testimony that occurred today. we don't have george. maybe jane can brief us. are you there? >> i am. jonathan good is good for george zimmerman because he corroborates his story. he says he heard a tussle, goes outside and the person he describes as being on the bottom fits the description in terms of the clothing he was wearing of george zimmerman. he also said he saw a ground and pound meaning the person on the top was grounding and pounding which he modified saying he didn't see anything with 100% certainty. i have to say his testimony was contradicted the night before just last night. another neighbor said she saw man who fit the description of george zimmerman on top. you have all these other witnesses, residents on a dark and murky night seeing fragments. >> mow unusual is it for the prosecution to call a witness, they know what he is going to say? >> they had to co-op him. if they didn't call him the other side would and

george zimmerman. george zimmerman who? all right, good. you're on the jury. nothing? that's funny. >> he did not leave it there, however. martin savidge was in the courtroom, joins us now. i don't know if i ever heard of a lawyer using a knock knock joke in opening statements in a murder trial. how did the jury react to that? we heard awkward laughter when he sort of said what, nothing? >> right. i didn't see one juror that laughed. there was one that seemed to smile, but i couldn't tell if that was humor or out of embarrassment. it clearly just fell flat in the room. it was only after that, i was going to say, don west got wind this didn't work. it went out on the twitter sphere really fast. immediately after lunch he came back and said i'm sorry, here, listen. >> no more bad jokes, i promise that. i'm convinced it was the delivery, though. i really thought that was funny. i'm sorry if i offended anyone about that. >> i mean, for him to set up the joke so much, i mean, i really don't quite get what he was thinking and certainly his whole delivery of it. that's not th

the defense, that george zimmerman may not have to testify. i strongly disagree with that. i don't think there is a prayer's chance that the defense is going to get that tape in. it's a heresay statement. it's not a confession. and therefore under the rules of florida evidence, that tape is not admissible. the prosecution is not going to put that tape, in and that's going to force the hand, the prosecution hopes, of having george zimmerman having to testify. having to testify that it was him screaming and not trayvon martin. >> no, i agree. i agree that it's hearsay and the defense wants to get it in and probably will not be able to get it in. the prosecution may introduce it for some reason or another to show that george zimmerman told a story that was filled with lies, that's contradicted by all of the prosecution witnesses. i mean, that remains to be seen whether or not it's going to come in. >> let me go back to you, faith. another witness took the stand late today, and said that she saw george zimmerman on top in the fight. she is the thi

to george zimmerman.s is the first time i've ever heard that. she said trayvon martin said he was being followed, that he was concerned about it. she heard the phone dropping. she heard the sound of wet grass. the last thing she heard from trayvon martin was, get off, get off. >> lisa, besides the racial epithet revelation, what else was new in her testimony about that altercation between trayvon martin and george zimmerman? >> well, there was certainly a lot more information from her than we have heard before. we knew from court papers that she was going to say that trayvon martin said he was being followed and that he was concerned. but they had a fairly lengthy conversation about it. she says trayvon martin told her repeatedly that this man was following him. she says trayvon used the phrase "creepy ass cracker" to describe george zimmerman. she said that he said why is he looking at me, i'm trying to lose him, the man is following me. he used the "n" word to describe george zimmerman and said he's sti

i think george is stressed out. i don't think he's going to harm himself. >> reporter: what he's doing is very concerned. >> i'm concerned that he's gotten to the point that he's gained 120, 130 pounds. that is physically destructive. that, i'll grant you. he's really stressed out. for a year and a half he's been in hiding. and now he's facing a potential life sentence. and he's fighting for his life. and it's very stressful and very frightening. >> a lot of people have been commenting on that ballooning weight by george zimmerman. what about the lyers and the witnesses? how has it affected them? because the witnesses are, the life, life, death, tee pendepen on them. >> reporter: right. this is a huge moment for everyone. i won't mention any names of. some of them were very unprepared for the scrutiny. they had to prepare for that. as for the attorneys, mark o'mara made the best comment yesterday. he said nobody is going to be going out playing golf or tennis this weekends, this is a very big weekend. >>> still to c

but they believe trayvon martin was followed, was pursued by george zimmerman. and whatever else after that happened came about because george zimmerman ignored the dispatcher and went looking for this guy. >> because of the focus on jeantel, i want to play just a little bit of sound from it. let's take a look at this exchange with the defense attorney. >> of course, you don't know if he was telling you the truth or not. >> why you need to lie about that, sir? >> maybe if he decided to assault george zimmerman, he didn't want you to know about it? >> that's absolutely retarded, sir. >> i'm sorry? >> that's really retarded to do that, sir. >> dana, there are some people who criticized don west for being really tough in rachel jeantel on how he questioned her. how tough to go given the age of the person on the witness stand and given the way that you as the attorney, as well as the person on the stand has to come across? >> i think as a defense attorney as it relates to each and every witness, you start off with a game plan. you start off with i'm going to go this

george zimmerman saying that he was sucker punched, george zimmerman saying he didn't follow trayvon martin. every witness is saying something different. how can you say what they're testifying to doesn't matter? that just doesn't make sense. which trial are you watching? >> i don't think i said it didn't matter. but if you're going to tell me that the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt is a witness who gets up there and says, you know what? i could have been mistaken. you know what, i know i said something else under oath but today i'm telling the truth, that's beyond a reasonable doubt? >> by the way, jeff, a lot of those in prison are wrongfully convicted, as you well know. >> that's not what we're talking about today. i agree that these two witnesses were not the most -- they are not going to seal this case, but they are yet more witnesses who seem to suggest that trayvon martin was not the aggressor in this situation, and when you add them all together, it starts to have a pretty impressive effect. >> it's quality, not quantity. >> after all these witnesses, we added them up,
