[applause] >> thank you very much for that introduction. thank you, everybody. welcome to city hall. welcome to san francisco. welcome to our seventh annual american indians heritage month celebration, here at city hall. i just want to recognize and bank kqed for their sponsorship. i want to thank our wonderful spiritual drum corps here. thank you for being here. i wanted thank our wonderful and beautiful ceremonial dancers. thank you for making this such a wonderful, beautiful tradition. thank you very much. in our city, we always cherish our diversity, but we also cherish our origins. i know the native american heritage month, native american heritage month as part of our origin in this country, and we recognize that, and we celebrate it, and we want that heritage to continue each year to remind us of the tremendous

you know they are working hard. you know their parents are working hard. but as i said last night, newt's not alone. he's repeating the central principle of this mean-spirited republican party. protect the rich, attack the poor. >> they are getting unemployment and they are getting food stamps and they say, call me when unemployment runs out. we also have to realize, there are a lot of people gaming the system right now. >> our nation needs to stop doing for people what they can and do for themselves. self-reliance means, if anyone will not work, neither should he eat. >> if you don't have a job and you are not rich, blame yourself. >> corporations are people, my friend. we can raise taxes -- of course they are. >> republicans can't admit it but the poor are some of the hardest working people in america. 7.6 million people work for than one job. nearly 300,000 -- 300,000 hold down two-full-time jobs. they are working nights and weekends. 80 hours a week or more. just to make ends meet. 4.3 million people earn the federal minimum wage or less. that's $7.25

in california, it's hard to be a conservative and liberal place. after i saw you standing next to that sign that said, in america saying stay out because it's dangerous in our country. when i saw you standing up to obama and he did not back down. she can't keep going like this. she's going to give in and taken out. he ever did. you just sat there. all you wanted was to defend your own state. you are such an aspiration, and i can't shut up anymore. and never will again. >> thank you so very much. you're exactly what the republican party needs. i so much appreciate your comments, and it is amazing when we think about our federal government coming into my state 80 miles north of the border and putting signs in, my desert where we want saying travel at your own risk. if you see anything : 11. it does is not a federal issue. call 911. could we think is answering those phone calls? that is not coming in and protecting my state. that is flat out surrender. and you know, it is just absolutely. coming here and being with all of you tonight is like being a i

it's very hard to say. before have there been so many diversions away from reality. in light of that, we sent jesse watters to a very unusual convention. >> reporter: what's the vibe here at the comic? >> this is christmas time t. brings everyone together. >> reporter: who are you trying to neutralize with ha? >> don't slime me. >> he slimed me. >> reporter: what made you get dressed up? >> it's like mecca for nerdz. >> from batman. >> right now, i'm rainbow bright. >> what? >> don't have you any sense at all? >> plastic man. >> reporter: so the tights are pretty tight? >> they are. but they are breezy. >> reporter: now, would you consider yourself a nerd? >> really. >> yes. yes, i am. >> in a sexy way. >> reporter: wow. so you are trying to score some chicks here, or what? >> uh, yes. >> you make it so easy, don't you. >> reporter: do you go out to bars afterwards and hook up with other nerds? >> that's the idea. >> stay out of trouble. >> reporter: captain america, can you help us get out of this economic

i keep saying harding. lake merced add-backs of cumulated over time, so we are currently investing in this effort. about a third of that is going to the bathrooms. additionally, some of the -- >> we are updating the commission on the harding but house today, but there is no action item. >> there is no action item on this. it is a significant activity we are gauging -- in beijing during the existing budget. we can make that space available with rec and park for potential use, based on a to be issued a request for proposal. for example, a concession for recreational fishing or limited food service. there was interest in using this as part of the restaurant space. the building is not in good space at all, and required tenant improvements to make it an attractive restaurant. it needs to be more functional, related to the lake. there may be expanded use by recreational tenants. they would like more space for storage. how do we relate it to the lake, and the condition of the lake overall? that is important to us

currencicy and hard revenue. so a few days ago, i denounced two specific itinerari

the british and the french work very hard and they did a very good job. they don't have the weaponry we have. if they had stayed in that effort a little bit longer this thing would have ended sooner as well. >> bill: you were watching the republic debates, haven't you. >> i have. >> bill: have you seen all 90 of them yet? new cable channel 24. >> like a reality show. when you she these guys on stage and congresswoman bachmann, are you in the flow here? >> i have opinions about some of the things they say. not that they necessarily got it wrong. i would have done it differently. >> bill: who is closest to your opinion of the republic candidates. >> the truth sand i know it's going to sound political. >> bill: who is closest. >> they all have elements of things i agree with. on the foreign policy realm i think romney. >> bill: romney on foreign policy. >> that's probably true of gingrich ohio think is deeply invested in public policy. i have known him for a long time. >> bill: on taxes. >> i'm in favor of a flat tax. i have always believed in simplifying th

they work hard. they play by the rules. and in exchange they want to see that their hard work and their responsibility is rewarded. it's that simple. americans all deserve a fair shake and a fair shot. and as long as i have the honor of serving as president, i'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that those very modest expectations are fulfilled. i'm going to make sure they are treated right and make sure that every american is treated fairly. thanks very much. everybody. thank you. >> that was president obama speaking about a proposed rule to extend minimum wage and overtime protections for home care workers. very interesting moment as we look down the shoot, the tunnel to the payroll tax cut fight that we're having actually and the deadline for the government running out of money on friday. on a certain level it was obama speaking about fairness, equality, jobs something he's been hammering home a lot but showing his executive privileges to say i've doing something while congress is sitting on its hands. >> i

but it hard to pick a -- "the doll make are," which a won an emmy for, it's hard to pick.like saying which is your favorite child. >> i've got a favorite. it's "on golden pond." i want to come back after break and talk to you specifically about that and about your father and your extraordinary family. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower cholesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy.

show me your hands while you must be working hard. life is hard isn't it and. let's go to chittagong together what do you think tell me honestly. already rented a house for us. you'll cry if i leave. ok. you want to come with me. i will show you all how i break the ship into pieces you know. i don't need to see that you can do that every day. well but when my son asked me one day mom how could one change his destiny without money no piece of land no money my husband early has a job will be for hard life stay by day. and. i want to bring the baby to the hospital and doctor but there's no money. you. make it. through. three. feet. what can we do about your destiny. i cannot sleep every night whining about to. take care of yourself. don't cry for the people who should get over it. soon. lose. you. oh. good. one year later some new faces a scene at p.h.p. . among them is bell's father. he is pulling his cables in chains because he doesn't have any skills. have been two months since i came here. oh. my two sons work here too. i came here with some folks from my home

it's hard, man. doing time is hard. >> wright says he has felt vulnerable because of the color of his skin. >> other prisons are populated with hispanics and blacks but this is a highly populated prison with white inmates. >> but not every min mate is concerned with maintaining a racial divide. these two have found common ground in personal style. davis helps harris to figure out what to do with his afro-like hair. >> i have to part it certain ways and i got to put more rubber bands in it to hold it. >> my hair has been growing five months. but it is starting to get to the length where i can get it where i want it. in a month i will do more with it. >> but both men know that their friendship comes with risks. >> there are white guys that wouldn't get. the white guys who do get it they mess with black guys, they con have sate with it and the ones who don't you going to know because they have swastikas or they ain't with it. even going this on camera is a jeopardizing situation for real. they be why yo

it's that doing the right thing almost always means doing the hard bank. it is choosing what is tough over what is tempting. it's choosing the truthful over the falls. speaking about choices, voters had before the 1984 election, president ronald reagan said, and that quote, the choices this year are not just between two different personalities or between two political parties. they are between two different visions of the future, two fundamentally different ways of governing. the government of pessimism, fear and limits and ours, of hope, confidence and growth. end of quote. it seems to me there are still two very different visions of the future. we face increasing economic and military challenges around the world. yet, we have a president more inclined to apologize for america than then to first uphold the principles. we have a president who seeks deeper division to craft warfare, a calculated politics of envy and cynical appeals to racial grievance, even as he issues an astounding call for civility. we confront persistent economic instability and decline

take a look at the freeze warning in a hard freeze warning in affected and round a hard freeze is fore delta and the inland valleys. many places are in the '20s overnight for several hours. we have widespread areas of frost. we do not have to deal with the fall because it is too dry for that. definitely bring your pets indoors if you live in the area in the white, the delta in fairfield, you definitely wanted--to protect expo's piping because with temperatures this low, the pipes could burst. concrete tomorrow morning it will be absolutely frigid. check out the temperatures as you go out the door. >>jacqueline: 40 in san francisco look swarmed by comparison, but we will warm up into the afternoon. >>jacqueline: here is a look at your extended forecast, it is very cold tomorrow morning and on saturday morning. the freeze warnings are in effect until saturday morning as well. we have mild conditions through the afternoon, christmas will be really nice. monday will be nice as well, we have changes coming in next week by wednesday it looks like we will finally get rain that.--back. >>stan

there's nothing -- it was just a really hard, hard time.aving to go to the hospital every day and seeing her still be in good spirits and you know she's not going to make it, and -- >> you knew that, did you? >> yeah, well the doctors really from the beginning they said it was, you know, it was a bit dodgy whether she would ever survive this. she had 12 operations, something like that, and we had some hope at some point but it just didn't work out, and after she passed away, it took me a long time to deal with it, and i pretty much tried to kill myself, you know, every day with pills and alcohol, and i would just disappear for months at a time, not tell anybody where i was at, and in and out of rehabs and you know, then i finally just pulled it together, and i kind of told myself that i had to do something in her name to keep her name alive and her memory alive, and then so i started the foundation and -- >> tell me about the foundation. >> the skylar neil foundation, with he raise money for anybody who really needs it, children's hospitals

only about 40% hard -- and the world was at war. three years earlier we had been attacked at pearl harbor where the uss arizona still rest today. our country sent its beloved sons to fight in unfamiliar places far from home, just as we have sent our sons and daughters today. we have sent so many and so many were lost from the outposts outpost in the battlefields of world war ii more than 400,000 americans would not return home. it is hard to fathom those numbers today. very few americans even know them. the remaining survivors of that conflict, the last of the generation that would save the world from tyranny are in their late '80s and 90s. soon, they will all be gone. four days from now we will pay tribute to our nation's veterans so this is a good time for remembering. dwight eisenhower told his troops, poised near the benches of normandy. they were about to embark upon the greatest days. the eyes of the world are upon you he said, the hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. in company with our brave

it was hard for us to narrow it down to 25 and hard to choose one. >> thank you all for watching.air on new years morning.

in my view, trail hunting is largely a myth. >> but it is hard to police. despite the ban, traditional arguments are still running. >> think you for being with us, join us again. >> make sense of international news at bbc.com/news. >> funding was made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. and union bank. >> at union bank, our relationship managers work hard to know your business, offering specialized solutions and capital to help you meet your growth objectives. we offer expertise and tailored solutions for small businesses and major corporations. what can we do for you? >> "bbc world news" was presented by kcet los angeles.

it is hard to say. my sense is that china is politically stable, much more stable than most people's realize. >> let me take a stab at the euro question. i think it is good news is that they have committed to wonder million dollars -- $200 million to increase imf general resources. i think that's the good news. the u.k. has not set that they will not contribute. they have said they will consider a contribution early in the new year and they would prefer to do that in the context of a broader g-20 initiative. the u.k. is a little bit the odd man out at the moment in europe for all the reasons that you have been falling. indeed, the u.s. congress is undergoing difficulty -- difficult debate on the previous expansion of imf resources. i am among the very small number of people who are daring to propose that in the event of an escalation of the european crisis that would set the stability of the system -- increased imf resources should be directed to europe and that requires a u.s. contribution as well as c

it will be hard to stop. my sense is that beijing feels comfortable that they can keep this under control. they're first line of defense would not be to reopen the monitory spigots as they did in 2009. the first line of defense, if they fear a precipitous price decline in the property sector, now would be to undo some of the administrative restrictions on house purchasing to introduce april last year. both beijing and shanghai, to largest, have decided in recent days they won't do that. they will keep all these administrative restrictions in place. to me that suggests that they are not worried about a precipitous price decline. at least not yet. since that is the most important domestically engineered source of the slow down, i feel that the chances that china will drop down to a hard landing, limited, look at the other cause of the slow down that's on the external side, mostly european, american demand for chinese exports, particularly european demand has dropped a very shortly. but exports on the whole are

they were very hard-working people.hey wanted to make a success of their lives wherever they were. i know that's what everybody strives for here. we truly appreciate it, i think. tavis: i know this is going to be on the internet and somebody is going to start picking apart what you said. i think i know what you meant. you're not suggesting that classism isn't real. yes, you can accomplish it if you work hard. i just want to make sure you're on the same page. >> those are human things. wherever there is a human being there is going to be somebody that tries to hold you back. no, but i'm saying, like, for example, in europe, there is the upper crust and these are long, historically families and social systems that have certain, you know, established rules that is harder to break into. you can be a success, i'm sure but the celebrities are kind of like the royalty in this country. but still there is no limitations in that. nobody in this country gets stopped from doing anything. of course there is going to be racism and op

it's very hard to tell god fearing people who've prayed all their lives, it's very hard to tell them if they've lost relatives in that kind of thing that there is a merciful god. they just -- they all, when i've seen them be interviewed, many of them, particularly if they're devout christians or muslims or all the denominations who perished on that day, what do you say to them? how do you explain that a just god can allow these kind of atrocities to happen? ruining so many lives? >> it's difficult, piers. the world we live in is not a perfect world. we're living in a fallen world. to simplify it, god's given us all our free choice. we can do what we want to do. unfortunately some people choose to do evil. god didn't make us his robots. it's hard to explain because god is good. obviously god could have stopped it, but he didn't. but there's much about faith that i don't understand. i think -- >> does your faith ever get dented? it always sounds very unequivocal. i watch you on sunday mornings. it's fantastic to watch. you're an incredibly inspiring speaker. i've had relatives who've,

but i have a hard time understanding the economic situation. i try. i look at wonderful documentaries like "too big to fail" and things like that. i find it very confusing and disturbing. all i know is that when you have soldiers coming back from war, when you have people graduating with high degrees and none of them can find jobs in a country that promises that if you play by the rules, that you're going to be able to own a house and send your children to college and do okay, this is -- this is going to cause real deep problems in our country. you know, we're going to have to stop trying to be objective and start telling the truth, and it has to start with the media, in my opinion. >> are you blaming me there, jane? >> i don't know you well enough. i might. the media in general, though. >> how do you feel the media has been complicit? >> i think it's been quite complicit. you know, i think, you know, there's such an effort to be objective rather than really looking at underlying truths and telling them even if it might affect the ratings. everyone is

this is a policy point and a hard one.s listen. >> you look at ron paul's total record of systemic avoidance of reality and look at his newsletters and look at his ads. his ads are about as accurate as his newsletters. >> if he were to get the republican nomination. >> he won't. >> let's say he were. would you vote for him? >> no. >> could you vote for president obama? >> somebody gets up and says i don't care if israel is destroyed? i don't care if the -- if the iranians get nuclear weapons. >> where does that take him? obviously helping to belt down ron paul's numbers a bit there perhaps, mark, but is it effective for him? >> well, look, people have beenç going after gingrich. they have been going after ron paul. the game is on the line here. mitt romney potentially, and our polls suggest, on the precipice of winning iowa, winning new hampshire and ending this thing so i understand why people have gone after gingrich. i understand why gingrich is now going after ron paul, but if they are not careful, everybody else in th

inertia is a big force in human affairs it's hard to overcome it's hard for any of us to break out of our conventional ways of doing things but the moments come and it's the biggest moment human beings have ever faced if we can't figure out how to change we're not we're out of luck if we do well. well you know we'll see it could be quite remarkable quite remarkable bill mckibben thanks so much tom thank you of the voice of a great awakening and great hope thank you it's an honor to have you to watch this conversation again as well as our other conversations with great minds go to our website of conversations with great minds dot com. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions come to the breakthrough had thirty billion made who can you trust no one who is in view with the global machinery see where are we heading state controlled capitalism is called sasha's when nobody dares to ask we do our t. question more.

it's a hard cover book that came out in march of 2006. anybody have a hard cover. wave it up here. you might not want it after i say this. i got to pick the title. three cups of tea but viking told me they would pick the subtitle and they picked one man mission to fight terrorism one school at a time. i objected because obviously there's- ways to fight tear riz m with education but i said i do this to promote peace and i started 8 years before 911 and this is about promoting peace through education. i've worked afghanistan and pakistan many years and i said we need to have a tribal council. i went to manhattan in the fall of 2005 and the big boss of the whole group, nancy shepherd and carlin coburn in publicity. we met in a little room and i stated my case and they said, this is your first book so you need to listen to a few things here. first of all only 12 percent of nonfiction books make a profit and 2/3 are pre chosen by the publisher. we'd like to put our marketing arm behind us but your having to fight tear riz m to this. since i grew up in africa and worked pakistan for many
