i . i i i i i i am i i. think i i i i i. i. i i. i. i. i i. think i. see crack is there including a couple from cabana who are currently managed by former chelsea star down to tresco he got them promoted to russia's top flight and earlier in the season he spoke with artie's consenting to top off fun you left chelsea three years before i'm on about the club do you feel any regret that you weren't there when salaries went sky high and the blues won the league yeah i think it was about time for me to leave the club but i didn't know at the time that but i always was going to come and also. in this time i was not in the good relationship with the coach who was the only them i had to leave but i was sorry for sure because after two years i left chelsea won the championship you spearheaded team which played in the champions league so why did you decide to make a move to combine a team which has been just relegated to the owner of the club and the government of the region come. especially in a manner for me three times in my house on the street or computer i t

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i know the amount of economic pressure a little bit. i know that mr. ellison and the folks associated with him have a little bit of political swag. and i have no illusions that this environmental impact report, all of the comments not with standing all of the good work of mr. weico not with standing, there are some things that could be better and san francisco's the town that knows how. normally these things are worked out between now and when the board of supervisors has to ultimately aadjudicate this matter in some number of weeks but this is getting a little complicated because the port commission is meeting tomorrow on this. and this cannot be appealed to the board of supervisors unless miss avery produces a motion. i think that creates great legal uncertainty as to how the port commission can hear this without a motion and how kit appeal to the board of supervisors to create that space without a motion. so i would suggest that. >> is there additional pu

you think i -- yes, i can. i can do it. i can do it. d i just -- it just made me fight harder, like i got angry. it did make me angry. i wasn't thrilled about it. but i just thought, i know i can't curse but i did think, screw them, screw them. yeah, i know what i look like, and i know that it's not a model space. i get it. but i think i have a little spark. tavis: but why not, ellen, take that path, which is to say, as you mentioned moments ago, screw them. why not say they don't deserve me, if they don't know i'm gifted or talented enough, i'll do something else. there are people every day who decide to go the other route because they feel like they can't convince whomever that they're qualified for this, they go another route and say forget it. but you didn't. >> no. because i did it for myself, i think. i needed to -- i believed i could do it. i mean, i knew i wasn't going to get like a tv commercial selling, you know, makeup or anything. but i thought i could answer their problems. and that's why i was so dogged, like i would force

i come from a place where i love the song myself. i want to know, can i sing that song because i love it so much. >> prince, what about this? >> prince is something else. i met his father. i worked in minneapolis years ago. i was kind of a young jazz singer, and we worked at a young jazz club, and his dad, i think his name was nelson, but his dad was a jazz piano player, and i remembered that later on. that is the same prince whose dad was a jazz piano player, so from the time i saw him, i am one of those kinds of people who likes everything that is out. if the monkey is playing a trombone, i want to see it. tavis: i would like to see that. >> i just love him, and when i saw him on the show, i said, uh- oh, tavis is getting ready to get him, and then you came not so nice to him, and he answered so nicely. i said, and that guy knows what to say. tavis: he is smart and talented. he just did a london store. 30 days in london. one more question on the music. i mentioned john lennon's "imagine." what made you want to cover it? >> i love the beatles, and that i

i felt that when i turnod the computer and thought, now i have to write book number 2. i had in mind that i wanted to write something very different from women of the silk that was strictly about the feminist chinese women during the turn of the century and i wanted to write about my japanese culter. i didn't have the story or the culture unfortunately because i was born in san francisco, half chinese and half japanese but raised in the chinese culture. when it was time to write the second book and i knew i wanted to explore my japanese side it was going to be difficult in the way that i didn't know the culture. right away i had to learn a lot. it was something that was not engrained in me besides the story. i sat down and thought about the story my mother told me about her brother being ill. he at one point went from hong kong to japan to recuperate. he was the one that wanted to be an artist and wanted to paint. i thought about that because it must have been hard growing up in hong kong to be far away from everything and have a dream and get sick at this point. i though

i will try to answer a, b, c. for me, i know that the first thing i began to think about when i thought i wanted to write a novel was that i wanted to write about my culture. and because i had grownup in the chinese culture i wanted to write about china. i wanted to find out more about myself because of i was raised in the bay area and because i didn't know culturally a lot of things i wanted to know. i knew i wasn't going to write about myself and knew that i was not going to write about my family. but i wanted to write about an aspect about china and women. those were the 2 things i knew when i began the first book. i was fortunate enough to it stumble upon the silk working women which gave me everything i wanted. it gave me the culture. it gave me a sense of what it meant to be a female chinese women in that time and a sense of empowerment on what they had done. regardless of what they understood they were doing at the time. they didn't know it was a culture that was earning money and living independent of husbands and family that was doing everything against what it meant to be in the chinese culture. i hadn't h

i think i i think . people have reckoned i sing for the first time and i and i got to say at least thirty years people have recognized it's and it's got nothing and i mean it's got to the with the way i work at my job and people are appreciative of good hard work and somebody who's got brains picks things up right away on the stance that concepts especially in the securities business you know you get. other people's lives basically. you have a culture which is set up here you are unfair if you cannot afford it and knew what the last twenty five thirty years by the people are going to eat without being represented by the national leaders not represents my needs my wants what i hear about taxation without representation every day since you had seats and here i believe if you go and i don't waste my. time you sure you know i know you dale because you're more people out there that are attacking you believe is putting money somewhere not that they think that if you feel like i'm going to get you to. think well over there looks like they just crossed over you know. c. they were bloody big. time ago however they

if i moved i would draw attention to where i was. so i lay silent and still. hoping whoever or whatever it was would move on. i stared up through the leaves to a blue sky. it appeared sharp and clear it seemed unreal. when i heard the steps closer i closed my eyes and prayed to the gods. when i opened my eyes i heard breathing and feel the warmth of another body it was so close to me. i heard his voice call out. sachy, it's me matzu, let me help you. i thought i died and went to the other wonder. matzu? spilling up from the leaves like a wounded animal. i forgot everything even the shame of allowing him to see me. he began to laugh is that you or the fox cot. it was the first time he joked with me he had been so quiet. it wasn't the time for laughter i was tired and hungry if i had been the god i might have been made food and water appear. it was my good fortunate that matzu found me. i had been looking for you all night. are there others? i could barely get the words out. they think you have gone to a better world how do you find me. he smaled. he opened [inau

i feel bad for i've been that i have. not been to mexico that you know i can see and i. can shacks you know. i just can't be brought here i can help. we can see. them. oh come. come come come come. come come come. come on i'm coming out. with. my. well i got the part of two weeks ago. i left side to bat i had an accident by that immigration fell down from my neck. the doctor said at least two months before i could. take my cast from thirty to thirty years old forty one from mexico this is what we got to go through. part of. this time they told me if i come back it want to be better all time. so that's why i was like i don't want to spend more time retail come back to michael just credit he was in for this now we would know what the big. homo. concerns you. know are wrong thirty years. ago i listen to the radio i got my kids over there i'm separated by this is so they're not ten. going to see what i went through i know it when we. get better i guess it. will be live and then we'll see what happens. i'm really happy to leave actually you know i mean i'm tired of again how how much should you ha

i still work everyday. i still write. i still make speeches. i don't know whether anybody's listening but i know that i can't to speak... continue to speak and'm writing, i'm working on my memoir. i did this little book "what it means to be a democrat. the reason i wrote this book is that i'm so tired of the negativism in american politics today. i've never seen our politics more confused than it is today so i decided to write a book on what i'm for. what it means to be a democrat. >> rose: what does it mean to be a democrat and what are you for? >> it means this... i'll tell you what i'm not for. i don't agree with those who criticize the federal government as our enemy. i think it's the best government in the world and look at all the things that it has done. so i cringe when i hear some of my republican friends talking about the terrible federal government. i don't think it's terrible. look at all the wonders we have that from that government just to mention two. the interstate highway system. the rural electrification program that's brought l

i learned a lot about myself. the biggest thing i learned is i love to perform. i love music. i love what i do. ging in the studio and writing songs and coming up with video treatment to the point that during that year i do not count the 72 songs i recorded as work because it's what i was born to do. and i learned balance. i learned the importance of taking time for myself and i was moving around so much that i had no idea that i really have 16 grammys. like i've heard that and i got up and accepted my awards but i didn't realize what an amazing accomplishment that was. >> you never had time. it's just this treadmill. >> yes. >> the more successful you get, the less time you have to enjoy anything. >> exactly. >> finally you went enough, i'm having a year out, i'm going to enjoy what i achieved. what was the most fun you had in the real world? >> well, i did everything. i definitely enjoy the simple things like, you know, driving and picking my nephew up from school, traveling but not working and actually visiting museums and seeing ballets and having great conversations with people on the plane

that i need and that's part of me and i did i did this series on television but i. realized that i was a made for that because i got bored and some people say well me i also get bored because i don't have time to to get to get to sit in front of a television set every day and this. but some people say in terms of stories in terms of dialogues in terms of many things budgets television series are becoming better than movies is it true whether there is like so many great series you know six of this is. in the city but so many so many other desperate housewives for you know you have like. i mean i like tons of it that i that i've seen and i think that they are really great you know so. yeah i think people want wants to have more time with the characters they want to spend more time you know what a movie or movies like an hour and a half two hours that they have like twenty hours of movies with the same character as if they were living with them and sharing what the experience are and i think what people need you know i personally i don't have the time to do that my wi

i was not as afraid as i was before, falling in love. i realized i was capable of risk taking, which -- people have thought that i had a wild kind of personal life and that i was out there with -- tomcatting around, not really. i could count on both hands all of the relationships i've had in my life. >> isn't the reality -- you've been such a huge iconic star on television for many different reasons, isn't the reality when you scale those different height s however fun a lot of it is, it can be a lonely existence? >> totally. you climb to the top of mt. everest, when you plant your flag, you come back down. there's no air up there when you're by yourself. you climb and be entertainer and passion and art and be accepted and love and have success and you get there and this is nothing like i thought it would be. it's also hard to explain to the audience, they, too, believe there is some utopia you arrive at, some destination of success and stardom that will fill you up emotionally and it doesn't. that was a shocking revelation for me. >> present company

when i was a lobbyist actually didn't think i was doing a thing wrong. i thought i was doing what everybody does. aggressive and that was my personality, fiber aggressive person my whole life. but i didn't really quite see where i was. that's my own fault. i thing i liken it to sometimes when you set off on a ship and if you are one small degree off base you will not notice that at the beginning, you might not even notice in the middle of your trip by the time you're done you are on a place you never even dreamed that he would wind up and that is sort of what happened with me. unfortunately i lost sight of what i believe and what i knew. a lot of it had to do with the competition of my wanting to win. i had too much of a desire to never lose. i liked the competition. i plead rough. if you attack one of my clients and to work on capitol hill, you would expect us to come after you and your election. we were a very sluggish growth of lobbyists i'm afraid to say, but that is the kind of aggression and activity unfortunately was made normal to me by the fact i thought i

the first song i was like, okay, am i going to make it. i thought ias going to have to switch shoes. i had some on the side. but i've been practicing in heels since i was 13 years old. to be honest, it's kind of second nature. the heels are second nature. it's part of it. whenever i rehearse i have on my heels. >> last night, i don't like the phrase girl power but it was like empowerment of women. you were strutting around the stage making people like me feel useless. this thing you do. >> not at all. i feel it is my job to empower women. i remember having this dream that my band was all females and i told my male band at the time, i'm sorry, guys, y'all are so talented but you're not women. they all had wigs on, came to the last performance, we can do it. but i found these incredible women, incredible background singers. i do have men on the stage as well. i have great male dancer. >> watching your shoe heels for you? >> no. some incredible dancers. it's great to have that camaraderie. i feel like i learn so much from the other musicians. it makes me

i said i need your help. she said, i can't help you. i can't help you. e the money. i just need you to support me. and she said, i can't give you that kind of money. i don't have that kind of money. i said, i know you have it. >> this is a picture of my mother and i when i was just a young boy. >> bill starns, the son of sherman moore's victim, remembers the night of the murder as if it were yesterday. >> it was june the 4th of '83. my ex-neighbor called me and told me there was some activity at the home. and that i might better get up there. >> as she reached for the telephone, as she reached for the telephone, and my first impression was that she was calling for the police and i immediately panicked. i grabbed the telephone cord and my first instinct was really to put the telephone cord around her neck and choke her but i don't. i can't control myself. i ended up strangling her and stomping her with my fists and feet. >> he beat her to death with his hands and feet. >> and before i knew it, i heard a wheezing sound, and i said, lord, i killed her. she's

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: i mean, does kevin bacon have to move out of the house for all the trolls? to -- no. >> no, but i have squeezed him out of all the closet space now. but no -- we -- >> jimmy: do you let your kids play with them? >> i let me kids play with them. yeah, when they were little. when they were like four and seven -- which, of course, is like the worst thing. we got -- i mean, they're antiques so like, the eyes pop out and they could have easily choked and died. but, you know, i was -- [ light laughter ] i, you know -- i get some inappropriate parenting award somewhere. but

i was shocked, and i didn't understand how that could happen, and i guess i was selfish that i didn'tt to just openly accept that phone call right away, but i'm grateful to him, yeah, i'm very grateful. >> i have led a very i don't know what kind of life you want to say, but i have done a lot of things in my life -- >> we all have. made mistakes. >> and so as i go through life, i just look at everybody and look at them as who they are instead of what they've done because if we look at each other for what we've done, we would never have relationships with anybody. >> he said to me you've always loved him and have been there for him. if he ever needed anybody, he would need you now. >> are you all right? >> yeah. >> he's a wonderful young man. >> you know, a lot of people would have a hard time understanding what you guys are doing. >> uh-huh. >> you're parents. he did what he did to his parents. >> yeah. we're called to love and not judge, love. >> forgiveness. >> yes. >> to be forgiven you have to forgive so that's the main key. and love is the key. love is the answer, you know. >>> c

>> guest: well, i--i--i--i lo--i love books. i--i--i love books. books are important. i remember when i was growing up, i couldn't check the book out of a--out of the library because i was black, and they didn't allow blacks to come into the public library in pike county, alabama, in troy. and s--and we had very few books in o--in our home. so any time i could get a book to read, i wanted to read a book. so i got into collecting books. and i would go to antique shops, flea markets and different places to try to find a good, old book. a--and one day in washington i--i went to a market, an old flea market in just an old store out on the highway near washington national airport. and it was a lot of dust. and i saw this book. it was "stride toward freedom,"

i knew i could sing but there's so much more i had to learn. it come from the recording background. i came from doing live shows and performing with bands and that was my craft. i didn't know what it took to record an be a recording artist. now you have to write songs. now you have to establish who you are. i don't know if anyone knows who they are at 18 years old. >> did you react well or like most 18 year olds when -- >> i might have cried, shed some tears. >> did a part of you believe that, that maybe you weren't good enough? >> you definitely have those nights where you fell a little insecure, but i didn't want to give up. my goal was i'm not going to go back home. i'm not going back to hawaii and face my friends and my family saying it didn't pan out. i've got to do something. >> what did you change about what you were doing? how did you move from has been 18 to back on track? >> i think i grew. i grew as an artist. i grew as a writer. i wrote songs every day. i started producing. and, you know, practice is what you need. i've written a lot

i mean i see both sides. you know i found there was some racists up there i mean i wanted to kick that out of a few people have a daughter i was a puerto rican my mother is a puerto rican. from morocco. and you know i get it i get a pretty great kid out of it and i've heard people mumble things you know white trash race mix or you know we show muslims what dad you know that's my daughter i would walk away and say you know what i wish you a christian kids with day i would never say anything like that about anybody situation and i think that's pretty. proud of what i did down here proud of everything i did that day because i've i've ever helped more mexicans that i've caught i mean i must have thrown. hundreds of bottles of water over the fence the people food medical help. so any and all like negative. it's been a long ride for the. a . welcome. report from malaysia and it looks like twenty eight years of my current three years of my life so i have no idea what might go off so here i am struggling to adapt to this city you know that. it will not be. hard but there is a god and we have a lot of paid to him. than

got it back too because she's pregnant on the i want to be there's those yeah the baby is my month. i think i i think . people have reckoned i sing for the first time and i and i got to say at least thirty years people of recognizing tell us and it's got nothing and i mean it's got to do with the way i work and my job and people are appreciative of a good hard work and somebody has got brains picks things up right away understands the concepts especially in the securities business you know you get. other people's lives basically. you have a culture it just gets fed up here you want a fair if you cannot afford it and knew what the last twenty five thirty years by the people. without being represented by the national leaders side represents my needs my wants what i hear about taxation without representation every day since you had success here i believe if you go in on the last line show good times sure you know i know you don't because you're more people out there that are attacking you than believing just let me money similar enough that they feel that if you feel like i'm going to take you to.

i am hoping i will be able to hear those, and i promise i will be very respectful, and i need the bar. [laughter] >> somehow i do not think we have to worry about that. i have lived in brunell heights since the mid-1970s, and lisa and erik taking this over and turning it into a very nice and then you, they are very inclusive where they have taken in the whole neighborhood. i support them and hope you do, too. president newliln: thank you. >> i am a longtime resident of san francisco, and i have been patronizing the lucky horseshoe, and lisa is doing a good job as owner, and i fully support the application. president newlin: thank you. >> my name is -- i live about two blocks, away, and my daughter is there. i just want to echo what everyone else is saying, but i think it is clear, they really made an effort to reach out, and it is a model for how these types of entertainment businesses can engage with the community, and i support it. president newlin: i agree with you. it is a very good outreach. >> i am a neighbor and a new resident of brunell heights, and i have had the opportunity

i get a lot wrong. i cringe when i pronounce a japanese word because i know i'm not say itting correctly. i can get away with it. here i don't know, it's harder to get away with it in the bay area because we are such a melting pot. and so many people who know japanese where i don't. what i discovered i think on the whole, for all cultures both cultures and the writing process itself is the more i write about different cultures the more i realize how much alike we are. and if you take anything away take that. take the fact that all humanity is the same. you know the -- culturesar a background for me it makes you who you are. if you are japanese you bow. if you are chinese you don't. there are certain things that are specific to each culture. but if you are writing characters there are specific things that are everybody. and that's more important to me in that sense. you have the culture's background but if you can understand why a person who lives in that culture feels the way they do or does what they do i think that's the most important thing. does that answer your question? >> yeah. >> t
