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.

i did but i chose it.t its message was warm -- born from a sense of pride in knowing that i come from a very rich background, a very rich culture, second to none and not superior to any but equal. [applause] so that is what i hoped would come out of this. [applause] that is what i hope will come out when people read this book. >> moving from the bronx to princeton university from one world to another in a series of culture shocks, he described it as a stranger in strange lands but he discovered ways of adapting to new cultural worlds. what is your advice to others negotiating the same thing? >> what i've done in a described in my book and every juncture of my life is i have faith in people from the latino community i have joined latino groups. i have abdicated for some of the -- and i have done it because it has given me a sense of comfort and security in my life. we all gravitate to that which we grew up in because it's familiar. the familiar is warming and confidence building but i am very careful to giv

to fit in but i know i look different i know you know i dressed differently i didn't know the right styles and it was the sixty's it was it was this i was here and so you know like everybody started wearing you know nice jeans and you know there's a lot of a lot of cultural things that my parents didn't understand like you know a lot of a lot of people sleep over other people's houses yeah you know and my dad said is your bad is your bed broken. you know and so he didn't it just didn't understand the way they were raised also how when you know how you know he goes wait so you can wear masks in a costume and go door to door and ask for candy you know and to him it was it was ridiculous so a lot of the cultural things i was still russian i couldn't do everything there was a marriage you know what they're going to be raised to. listen. but. you said. it was the seventy's when when i went to school and learned. they started to call me russian spy because it was the sixty's i mean it was all serious it wasn't that bad in the seventy's was it was it was still it was funny because the people stil

>> i don't know what i think. i, i, i, i hardly ever look at that. i don't know. gosh, i looked young in "smokey and the bandit." i forgot. tavis: but what's amazing about this is the range, the range your career has covered already. >> well, it's covered a lot of years. it's like almost 50. it will be 50 years that i've been doing this professionally in '14. so we're almost in '13, so i started in 1964. so it's been a diverse road of ups and downs and sideways. tavis: yeah. we've got two nights to talk about that diverse road -- >> oh, good. tavis: -- of ups and downs and sideways -- mostly ups, i think. but this latest role will add, without question, more talk to this career, because it is a memorable performance. her portrayal of mary todd lincoln in steven spielberg's "lincoln." the film, of course, also stars daniel day-lewis and tommy lee jones, and so here now, a scene from "lincoln." ♪ >> you think i am ignorant of what you are up to because you have not discussed it with me? when high -- when have i ever been so easily baffled? i believe you when you ins

i says i guess about 15, i think. i says i was a piano player and i was supposed to play bumble boogie for the 1,000,000, time at an assembly. we were in the basement wait to be called and the girl was doing, today would be considered racist but she was doing al jollson in black face singing mammy. and she is sitting next to me waiting to be called for rehearsal and somehow we look add each other and we kind of start to experiment, sexually. but i can't get too close to her because she's in black face. so i told him this story. and i put my hand on her breast and we are just sitting there in chairs facing the wall, fully dressed. and she looked and she just let me do it. and i told anything tolls-- next ols the story. also cut to the scene where i'm rehearsing with ann bancroft in the hotel room. he said the neck time you do the scene i want to you go up in back of her, she has just taken her sweater off, you are in her back, just hold her breast and let's just see what happens. and i did it. and she had been looking

>> i don't know. i don't know what i am going to do. i could go back to my fiancee. >> fiancee? >> he is a sailor. he has been away a while. he is nice. i wish been was not so crazy now. >> you could be wishing that the rest of your life. >> i just want to have a baby who. you know -- something normal. i really do want that. >> itunes have a great idea. you guys are going to love it. tavis: the best part of this show for me is always whispering to the star [laughter] while the clip is playing, of what they thought about this scene. so kristen says, "this is my favorite part of the movie. i love this part." why do you like that part so much? >> oh, that's funny -- i meant my favorite part of sitting on a talk show is sitting in front of a big picture, so. tavis: oh. oh, i'm sorry. [laughter] i just figured the best part of the movie. she means the best part of being on the show. >> yeah, yeah. tavis: with the big screen behind you. >> that's my favorite. tavis: oh, i got it. [laughter] ba-dum-bump. okay, now i got it. but tell me about that scene, though, since i put in my foot i

i had a good job and i was working and i liked the job i had. i remember when they had the big push for police officers. there was an advertisement in the paper. a mass hire. they were looking to hire a thousand people. what caught my eye, because i only had a ged and i was trying to go back to school to put my son in a better school. they said, tuition reimbursement for college. that is what got me. i was taking one or two classes at a time at the committee calls. it would have taken forever. >> you went to johns hopkins. >> my masters. i got my second masters elsewhere. >> i got a quote from something you said in 2005 before you became chief. "no experience in my life has had more of an impact on doing my job than going to israel." explained. >> the former chief asked me to take over the special operations commission after 9/11. you wanted me to recreate the capabilities of the police department in terms of the homeland security counter- terrorism. i traveled all over the world looking at, studying, homeland's security issues, intelligence. i

i went into -- i was in a bankruptcy -- i have to backtrack a little bit. i bought this r -- this was originally a 6 unit building on church. i bought it in 1990 and i was warned by the former owners that i had very difficult tenants and they had been partners for 30 years and they were selling because they couldn't handle the people. and i was [speaker not understood], and i thought i'll be able to deal with the problems. but they were very difficult tenants and i gave a legitimate increase in 1994 and they called the housing department. they got three other units to complain plus the building where the fire was, 33 56 24th street. * and i had three n.o.v.s filed there. there were rent strikes. i had 16 death threat calls by the same person, hanging up and calling back and a sign on my door, lynch the landlord. anyway, i went into bankruptcy partly a lot because of the rent strikes and i finally [speaker not understood] in 2005. at that time i had three n.o.v.s on my building, 3825 through 29, and there were three n.o.v.s on 3831 through 35. and then there

entire e i r because i think most of us skim through the e i r's and skim through and but i doubt that most of us go through the e i r's and you turned to me and said, this is actually my third time reading it. that was a standard you set a bar for me when you is he that to me and that was a bar that i felt i had to be able to come close to may be not the third time but, i really do respect that. i have always admired your dedication and the faint that you don't lie to come in unprepared to an ortho argument and i do apologize that i was not able to replace chris daily in that role to continue the lively debates and discussion that is had happened prior to me. i know that you used to be -- there used to be that diagonal dynamic that habe is not as in existence as it was in the past but i'll say one thing sean, in admire ages i did not find that appeal on your birthday and i hope you remember that one when i call on you your birthday when i call on you in work ring for the city and county of fraction and also i have a lot of respect for your love and dedication to your family and a lot

every time we talked i told him that i was little i was afraid that he would come and say that i had deceived him i felt very uncomfortable because of this but he told me your height makes no difference i'm coming because they fall in love with you. that's so. i didn't even pay any attention to words i couldn't even imagine that she was so small i was all that she could only reach my neck or could be a little bit taller were a little bit shorter but i couldn't even imagine that she was so small. and how many of the some of them on the committee kept on saying that she was short so i asked her how tall she was on her way she said that she was ninety six centimeters it made me think of course with our dollar before that we've been keeping in touch for two months or prison and it was a great pleasure for me so we kept on doing so. there's a nice knowing that even if i failed to get married and have children of my own i was going to adopt a child so there would be someone to bring me a couple for turn when i moaned. you know what time money resound can you do it by now you can spend mone

damn i mean. damn i mean. there you go again why didn't you listen to your mom didn't you can you know that your mom's like the right. thing to me that. you love me as little most oh that's why you're not listening. mom why you will not be the i'm afraid when she grows older when she's sentenced four years old she will begin to understand that a mother is local i'm worried that other children in the kindergarten where because of me. much more you call for me is that there are people who say look her mother is a draw when we're walking outside. like that but i've grown used to child hasn't been little maybe people often say that she's going to be like her mother it's so sad i was. you'll. become a where. would a man being heavy you're just right for me to work with you because you know i'm in police. work or that the first leg come in but there's no port so here you are again the. sit down versus the the artists on the how are your sweetie over here the train testing had growth hormones to check of the child gr

i refuse to go to that. >> and i also have a picture of -- oh i have a video -- i will do anything toback to bravo january 10th live. so when i was in mexico -- this is a video. it's only 17 seconds. you're not going to see this on any other network, i promise you. >> a lot of people find me attractive. some of them have four legs. "kathy" thursdays on bravo. >> i like how you didn't even blurt out the "jimmy kimmel live" t-shirt i'm wearing. >> i was once doing a live shot with paula zahn and i was in sri lanka and a dog humped my leg all the way through the live shot. i started giggling and i was like paula, i have to say i have a dog humping my leg. >> is that how you lost your cherry? did she find it amusing? >> she did not find if amazing. >> did you know barbara walters is in st. barts? are you going on record as saying you think st. barts is a third world country and you would not be caught dead there? >> no i've been there but on new year's eve and all those people are there. >> that is so your crowd. he is so up in the jolie-pitt crowd. let's talk about heros. number one not

i laugh. at the st. i wish i was. a bomb in good. fun.

you know i probably did go get a had bad day you know i would not think about it because i know i know i know me so i play and we get home and my dad you know you tell me all head on head along. he want to know you want i want to buy. so many drugs they be it you take my calls you name. and i had a name. and one time i had to get stats like three times a week. honestly. i think not be in a room if you don't wish it was you know everything everything is heavy you know your legs they have you very weak and you still got to get them to get it out to get these three shots so we yeah honestly i think. i had three blood transfusions because of it you know. so they dealt with an experience both in the self and after living with hiv for over thirty years if i tell you a story you can say is that all that you had to go through. and that's why. everybody's body is different and you know everybody body is different what i go through you may never go through then again you might go through it twice is worse so don't look at me and say oh yeah i'm a poster child no i'm not opposed to. someone then

i don't know, i wish i had a solution and i don't. i'm sure you feel the same way. >> i feel very frustrated, like a lot of people do, that you can't even have a debate. we're having a civilized conversation, a lot of people can't even do that. they want to get so intensely enraged about the second amendment and their right to bear arms. they can't see the woods through the trees which is why does anyone need an ar-15 military style weapon anyway? i don't know what you would use it for. >> fighting a war. >> what? >> fighting a were. >> i get it. >> yeah. >> the other big story this week has been lance armstrong. >> right. >> what is your view of him? >> i met him once at a party and i'm assuming he was in a bad mood because he wasn't the friendliest guy in the world. i'm sure people say that about me from time to time. not too often because i'm pretty approachable. >> what did he say to you? >> i said mr. armstrong, i'm sorry to bother you. i'm charlie sheen. i want to shake your hand. he said, that's nice. >> where was this? >> he s

and i said well, i can't go. i have to stay here. and, you know, after much discussion, we said what could he do? in order to fire archie, he'd have to fire the attorney general and he'll never do that so go, it's going to be ok. he's going to cave in. so i went to new york right after the press conference. when i came back from the wedding to the hotel, literally the desk clerk was waiting for me and sort of leaped over the counter and said, there's a message for you, there's a message for you. the f.b.i. has seized your office. and i called george frampleton. i don't know. he was the one i could reach. and i got on a 6:00 a.m. flight the next morning to come back to participate in discussions of what the office should do because what had hampled was he fired archie. he did not fire us. so there was a lot of discussion of do we quit in protest or do we say, ok, archie's gone but we're still here. we need to do our job. and we're going to stay. he's going to have to make a second big public relations error by firing us. >> what did h

i became unglued. i was talking to my mom and i said, mom i don't understand it. every time i see fedex i get excited. i was over at the airport in atlanta hartsfield airport and i looked out and there was a fedex airplane. no matter where if drive when i see fedex i get excited. when god decides to be good to you and he uses fedex to bless you, you'll get excited, too. i'm talking to my mother and i said -- mom, every time i see a fedex truck i get excited and she said -- son, god's not through blessing you. he's probably going to u.p.s. next. you guess, 24 hours later a knock at my door. i go to my door and there stands the u.p.s. woman. i open up the envelope and there's a businessman that says you help med 30 days ago and i wanted to show you my seed of appreciation and i opened up the envelope and there was a check for $30,000! a few weeks ago you was preaching for a pastor rod parsley. he's crazy. he's crazy.

i said i liked "the apprentice." i said i'll do it.and i ended up winning it by being fairly brutal, fairly british, i guess, in my style, rubbing people the wrong way, being pretty uncompromising. >> rose: were you that much different than you were on the other show? >> not really. i would say there was a brand extension. >> rose: a brand. do you see that as your brand, and is it you? >> i think it's partly me. listen, in business, whether i'm editing a newspaper, competing in "celebrity apprentice" judging a talent show, i think i can be to the point. >> rose: "to the point" is a little different from what of the way simon it portrayed you. >> it i think he would say it is show business. i can be tough, tough speaking, but underneath it i think i have a good heart. i think i always try to see the good in people as well but if people want to have a scrap or feud or punch-up, i'm your guy, too. >> rose: come back to the thing in london for just a second. what is it about the people who want to see you down? >> well, i think part of it

i said i don't know. so i'm asking you. >> there's actually not dysfunction, but i do think -- i don't know, i don't want to say a word about this because any development to detroit, people welcome mat. but a think about what it -- but the positive developments, especially you see stuff coming up in downtown. but what will that mean exactly? is bulldozing a bunch of those old things and putting up new models like structures, some people would share that. in a way, why not. you've been driving past the same ratted outbuildings for decades. so you can't fault people for that. at the same time, i don't want detroit to look like houston or every other city basically accept a handful of cities. i guess i'm referring more to what i referred to earlier, the mystique that detroit has a basic new orleans and a handful of other cities as hard to push your finger on what makes that essential. you know, what components planned to that exactly. but it shows something to think about. >> to think of us have been detroit

yeah i mean i mean i i think you know as we move forward i mean i you know i lived in russia for a number of years and during the cold war period i think the majority of european people for the wrong reasons feared russia and russians possibly feared the people of europe but now i look we do have these open borders i think we have a greater unity and i think that when we look at the global picture i think that other nations other states other global states are actually quite envious of our potential unity and so i think the actual chance of any future war in europe is greatly reduced and could leverage if there are going to keep pressing this point here i mean did in the european union that people sign up for it when they joined it because it's turning out to be a different project now. what i'm saying is that i mean there's and i was probably at the one to say europe as a father a problem but the problem is that there are as many for the road probably as many for mothers as for there are countries in the world that's where our quality so far as we have to define our model for them is a w

i love, uh -- god, i mean, i love really, really good, strong -- i mean, i love gary oldman.s and gentlemen, gary oldman! [ cheers and applause ] this is amazing. all right. if you do what i do, this is a huge honor. so thank you for coming out here. the honor's all mine. no, come on, man. come on. i mean, this is like -- 'cause, unlike nicole, you've actually had the burden of being on this show before, with you-know-who hosting, a couple times. uh, i have no recollection of that. [ laughter ] you don't? i've never been on this show before. but, see, my research says you were here for "tinker tailor" and "dark knight rises." oh! look! i saw this picture down in the hallway, which apparently nicole stole. [ laughter ] i'm quick. oldman: no. this is, um -- that is -- you know, that's an impersonator. a gary oldman impersonator. this is an industry for people. i've never been in the state of california until tonight. wow. that's, uh -- it sure looks like you. but, okay, i'll tell you what. i mean, let's keep this daisy chain of greatness going. is there somebody kind of great t

i better -- i better not enjoy it, i better luxuriate in it. it's a great privilege. being a senator is a great privilege, charlie. and it taught me being alive was a great privilege. i write about that.xd i was sort of more open in this book than i'd like to be. sort of let it all hang out. >> rose: what was the hardest thing for you to write about? >> well, the hardest thing to write about is facing my own mortality. the hardest thing to write about is wondering notwithstanding all my bravado and all my assertiveness if i was going to make it. >> rose: do you think you could have handled death? >> i'm not looking forward to the experience but i think i can and from what we know about human existence, it's inevitable. >> rose: (laughs) >> so i will handle it. >> rose: exactly. >> a coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero one. >> rose: do you have a different vision for what's good for children's reading? authors and prevailing wisdom? >> well, my feeling is you tell the truth as best you can and the people who you treat most are children to create a little ghetto land

mayor jordan -- mayor agnose called me and said "i need help". i said "i will do whatever i can". he said "can you meet with me and i have a laundry list of things" and absolutely where do you want to meet? i am at the command center on turk street. i asked what the cross streets are. you know the bridge is down. can i land my helicopter there? yeah and lee got the police to clear the park. >> >> i came in here. the mayor was waiting for me and he took me down in the basement of the fire department communication's center to what was the fire department was the bedroom for the firefighters in the 911 -- in their 911 -- in their portion of the 911. i couldn't believe it. they moved beds aside, and they had butcher paper on the wall and i will never forget this. there was a consiewl general talking long distance on one of the out going lines and nobody could get him off the phone. people were coming in off the streets. it was terrible. i could not believe that a great city like this did not have a proper command center. as i walked a way with the mayor i said something that i later r

i realize i could only do what i could do. i could do the best that i could with the materials that i had and whatever abilities and that's it. the end. >> i sort of disagree with everybody. >> you always have. >> i really especially disagree with what ed said. i'm a huge fan. set this up very well for our ongoing literary discussion here suggesting that we have to think about biography and biographical fiction, even autobiography in the wake of literary theory. and i think that philip would suggest the biography is the least theorized of all of our genres. i think that when we began to terrorize our review which i do think we need to do we start to realize we have to break away from the old of the -- objective 19th century pre literary theory idea of biography is being objective. you have to get the truth and learn things up. i'm serving not saying make up interviews or distort quotations or get the facts from. there is such a thing called the agreed upon facts. that is of very steppingstones sort of thing, so elementary that

i was in l.a., and very rare that i come to l.a. i live in new york. i read it on the plane and was kind of floored by the quality of the writing, and not just as a movie, but how it understood people. ultimately, the framework and the fabric of the reality of this movie is the financial world and power and money, but you can't really sustain a movie about that. it has to be about people and their relationships and how the choices people make resonate through every aspect of their lives and relationships. so that's what struck me, is the maturity of all the characters in this piece feel rich and textured and real to me in a way that it's rare in the movies today to see. besides the fact that obviously it was talking about something that's meaningful to all of us in the world today. tavis: let's talk more about what the movie is about. we kind of jumped into this, and the audience, i'm sure, is like, okay, give me a little bit more on what the film is about. >> you do that. i hate doing that. tavis: oh, come on. >> you do it. you saw the movie. go ahead

"i did this. i did that. i did this. i did that."nd you're saying that's not the america either you experience as a dominican or the america you really wanted to be part of. >> well, we have a number of stories. and one of the stories is who we are collectively. we take great pride in our collectivity. whether it's the collectivity of, like, "hey, listen, we all came out and helped during hurricane sandy." if it's the collectivity of, "listen, i come from this community. in this community we have pride. in this community we try to help each other." i think that there's always been a number of stories that contest and work against this idea of this sort of crazy individualism in america. and both have always been present. and i think that there's a great calling. there's a great combat between the two of them. and i guess part of me thinks that collectivity and helping your society and being civic-mindedness is as much a part of what it means to be an american as being this big peak winner, this peak person at the top. >> but that for

i love this thing, man. i could watch it for hours. if i was still dropping acid i probably would.bone liked to drink, a lot but otherwise he was clean, man. he's been clean for years. i know. what got stuck in his arm may or may not be heroin. we'll find out. but it was designed to kill him. i think bone went to that bar because someone said he'd meet him there. he had a few shandies, went for a pee and while he was standing there-- a bit unsteady, maybe-- the guy jumped him stuck the needle in his arm. then bundled him into the cubicle wrapped the band around his arm and left him there to die. did you kill bone? explain to me why i would do that. because he supervised the recording of your solo album and he cocked it up. wiped the tapes. i have my ideas about who was responsible. wasn't bone. but if it had been, i wouldn't have killed him for it. what sort of man do you think i am? i don't know, mr. maguire. it bothers me. (camera clicking) hey! you! you, you little bastard! still making people welcome down the farm? i know you. yeah, darling, you do. you're not forgiven, richie.

i did too. i loved summer. i am thinking why not? i think these kids should be in school given that summer was so long. >> no, summer is never long enough. >> i learned more in my summer job trying to memorize the lessons. i don't think that. and i do disagree with what you said. >> that's when i was counselor. >> you don't have to make a good fake id. >>> the usual crap you have grown to tolerate. >> what do condoms and porn have to do with the first amendment? i gather we will find out. i gather a lot of things. >>> we're back. and i think it is time for a new segment on "red eye." if we only had a title and an animation department to kick it off right. politically correct message refers where in our -- are everywhere in our culture. i put my favorite daughter's music cd in, and these were the lyrics i heard. >> ♪ nana-hey nana ♪ the earth is a mother ♪ we must take care of her ♪ the earth is our mother ♪ we must tear -- take care ♪ hey nana. >> my daughter is three. can you wait until she is in junior high to indoctrinate her? she

i have been active i own apartments. i was the chief appraiser. i have had to review appraisers review; not always agreement in value. chief appraiser is more of a management position with different appraisers. i have a lot of appraiser experience. >> and so you might be familiar with the issue i brought up about homeowners, one or two units. sometimes i get frustrated e-mails from our constituents who have gone through the process a complaint about really long wait times and often don't understand the process. it can be very confusing if you don't have the experience that many of you do. i'm curious about your thoughts around that. >> i think -- you are always trying to find a market value. the market value for people is sometimes different. they think the house is perfect. maybe it has something that from a marketing standpoint, something is wrong. it is important to them to understand that you need to have the most similar, recent sales. in the same neighborhood. most recent. usually dealing with the market going down. if you are dealing with t

i understand my mother now in ways i couldn't when i was younger, and i think that for me, because my father has passed on, i want a good relationship with my mother. she's the only parent i have left. writing this memoir gave me the opportunity to look at both of my parents through different angles to see them as human beings, you know, who make mistakes along the way, but also make good decisions, and i want to have a have a good relationship with her. >> host: did you feel illegal, undocumented growing up in the u.s. after you were nine years old? >> guest: well, i think because i was young enough, i was naive in terms of the situation. i didn't really understand it's full complexity, you know? i came here at a young age, but i felt different many times because, first, i had a language barrier that i had to overcome, and then as i grew up, i realized my experiences were different from a lot of people you know, coming from another country, living through poverty, the abandonment issue with my parents, changed me, and made me feel different from other people, and it was something i s

excuse me. - i hope you have fire insurance. - i hope i have a chef. did i mention that i worked at mario's italian restaurant ? ohh ! terrific spaghetti there. - yes ! absolutely ! - it's too bad they closed down ten years ago. good news, mr. brashov. the oven is working. so, where did you work after mario's ? a very special organization. what was its name ? the blake family. i've never heard of it. what kind of food do they have there ? mr. brashov, i'm talking about my own home. for the past ten years i've organized the lives of three people, two dogs and a bird. hmm. i have heard enough. cuse me. i have to check on jamal. well, thank you anyway. so much work to do and you are leaving early ? you mean i have the job ? anybody who could take care of three people, two dogs and a bird... can probably take care of brashov's customers. here, fill this out and give one to rosa - mr. brashov. - now what ? - thank you. - you are welcome. come on, everybody ! let's get moving now ! yes, hello could you connect me with your personnel office please ? so what a

>> i talked to ester this morning, and i promise i will not take too long. but i will first share my time with two of my outstanding staff members. mrs. jeanna chow and mr. taylor. >> hi, i am jena chou, and i am a kindergarten teacher. i would like to share a few quick reflections. i remember when alice fong yu didn't have enough student and we had to sell the program. and now we don't have to sell the program, in fact we are all sold out. i remember when students went to chinatown to practice the skills and the culture. and now students travel to china to speak the language and live the culture. and none of this it would be without liana szeto. i remember her tireless way to be sure of this success. and determined and still has tireless energy and still have the vision. only now she needs to see it in a slightly larger font. i am -- [laughter] i was going to take that out, but my staff said to keep it in. i am so honored to be a part of alice fong yu's past and present. and look forward to the future. many thanks to the students, parent and staff to make a

i am not sure if i can speak or not. i am gary's wife. i know that is not allowed. >> sorry. >> i respectfully request. >> you can speak under rebuttal, if you want to. gary and his attorney want to give you some of the three minutes you can speak during the rebuttal. >> thank you. >> hi my name is joseph ferguson and i have known gary since 1970. i no longer live in san francisco, but i have a daughter who is going to turn 29 this saturday who lives here and she went to school here and now she is starting her career. the thing about gary as scott mentioned, gary and scott started the holy bagel when i was roommates with them in the late 1970s when i lived in san francisco. i watched him create a business that was really part of the community. he was very in tune with his neighbors, neighboring businesses and the rest of the community. when i think about the objections, i know people are concerned about business, other people that have shops that sell coffee in the morning down there. it seems to me, my experience with neighborhoods, if i

i am a good guy, i survived. i built this amazing charity. i think it is all built and the money they received the money don't mind too much. i did. i think it taints everything he has touched. >> he is totally tainted and one could argue there's no cynicism involved. you're probably right he felt that i found live strong, it will be a great foundation. yet another layer of insulation. the part that bothers me the most is when all process you are suing an employee and she has no money. he tries to run roughshod over everybody. employees, the wives of teammates, the london times. he says i don't know what i see them. is sued so many people i can't keep track. >> he kept going on about it. every word he published was true. >> there is something wrong with them. i think he is trying to feel the you see and and it can't feel. how can you feel when for 15 years, not only did he take illegal drugs, they all did in cycling. if anyone gets in my way, i am not just going to condemn them, i will sue them. on will make their lives miserable. >> let's wa

and i attacked her, and i sexually assaulted her, and i killed her. and i robbed her. and i left.he poor woman didn't stand a chance. >> prosecutors determined that trowbridge not only strangled his victim but sexually assaulted her after her death. he was sentenced to 77 years for robbery, murder, and abuse of a corpse. he has already served 15 and with good behavior could be out of prison by age 50. he currently lives in wabash's protective custody unit which houses inmates whose lives could be at risk in general population due to the nature of their crimes. trowbridge's cellmate, joshua bean, shares the same unusual pairing of convictions, murder and abuse of a corpse. he's serving 68 years. the victim was his ex-girlfriend, heather norris. >> it was a toxic relationship. it was love/hate, and i still very much love her. >> throughout the couple's three-year relationship, heather had told her family that bean was physically abusive, and even though bean faced a pending trial on domestic abuse charges at the time of heather's murder, he says he wasn't abusive. >> the whole thing

i was involved in gang and i caught a murder case. 15 years to life -- and i came here in 1979 and i got out -- and i have been out for almost five years. in my heart, i knew i found a solution when i was incarcerated. and there are different stories. some of the kids joined the gangs because they want to fit into something. some of them don't have a family, and the father and mother are working. for a lot of kids, there is a lot of idle time. it is not like, i will join the gang and i will shoot you. you grow up that way, and before you know you are cutting school. this is begins. working with the different kids that we have, the gangs are still the same -- the game is still the same and the players have changed. some of these kids are savage. i can look in their eyes. they can go way out -- what works for me is to get their trust. i don't tell them, drugs are bad and this is bad. if you can figure out where this began you can follow this. and why did i join a gang? what attracted me, it was the power that came with it. there was no money involved and nothing involved. we all have d

i am sorry that the top of the list. i have 48 license requests that i cannot fail. i have a two-star michelin restaurant that is moving from downtown out into the mission that the only thing i can do is throw a quick 41 on the place because we can -- because i cannot find a 47 or 848 to do it. i would like you -- or a 48 to do it. i would like to think about some injured county transfers. -- enter-county transfers. there are a lot of restaurants that have a million dollar construction costs and cannot find a license and are freaking out. licensing has gone to about 128,000 this month. we assume they will surely go to 150,000 and probably more. we need some more liquor licenses. >> to that, in part, i would say that is a structural problem, and largely driven by our statutes. this governor is very pro- expansion of business. and in favor of things that make this city and state great. there is mileage from your local representatives on this. the governor is going to be supportive of whenever you want to do in the city of san francisco. -- what ever you want to do in t

but i have friends and family here in sf and i am from southern county and i am here because i would oppose the use of tasers in my city just as would oppose it and i am taking steps to make sure that the county is addressing these concerns. and i lived in the city for series of years when i got my ba in psychology at san francisco state and i am also a social worker. and general and i want to say that in does not take a rocket scientist to speculate that tasers will or will not do harm to someone who has been traumatized. it is obvious that it will. with health problems and heart, and traumaization that is a given. it is interesting that this is being brought up to, before the crisis team has happened. i could maybe, understand, maybe understand if they wanted to bring in the tasers after a few years of the pilot program, but to do this right away is obviously counter productive to a crisis team. like many people have said, we all come from families we all have also our jobs and we work personally and professionally with people in crisis, you have heard people say never have we thou
