today i rise to honor a bay area icon, a bay area legend, a bay area institution, jesus gomez. (applause) >> i grew up listening to the radio, and oftentimes it wasn't very interesting to listen to. and this is the person that made it interesting to listen to. the stories, the conversations, the excitement about the music, the excitement about the community, the excitement about the work was clearly articulated through tuey's voice. and, so, when many people around the bay area heard that tuey was no longer going to be working at the radio station, you know, people were really sad. people were upset. i know supervisor kim, "but tuey's an institution." we all love him. that's just not a phrase that's constantly used. we love him. we love him for making san francisco and the bay area more interesting, more fun. we love his personality. we love his demeanor. we love his commitment to the community. and we're just really going to miss you. i know you're still going to be doing work on television with cmc and the california music channel. so, we're still going to see you doing this

but go out to other people and bring them the proclamation of the gomez of jesus christ.f you think about it this way, it's like when you have a newborn child, that child is treated with you not with rules and regulations. you simply want to let that child know how much you love and welcome the child. but as that child goes along in the life of the family, then you begin to give certain rules and regulations and understanding of life. but that's what the pope is saying. as question go out and proclaim to people who are indifferent, let them know the basic gospel. later on the ramifications of the faith can be made more clear just like you do in every individual's life. >> the pope said that there needed to be more focus on the poor. that's something that we've discussed on this show before. whether he's kind of opening the door to even liberation theology, and its sort of the left wing of the catholic church by some of the things he has done and some of the people he has named into positions in the vatican. >> this pope has criticized some elements of liberation theology
