and having it named after jimmy herman and what jimmy herman stood for was representing the working class, we have many, many members, and we represent the locals throughout the bay area. my local is local 10. local 34 is the clerk's. local 75 are the guards. in local 91 are the bosses. we have done work throughout the history of the docks for the last 100 years. even at that time, it was not the ilwu, the it is the same working-class people. you mentioned about not using substandard labor to do the work for the american cups, and i am letting you all know, we're paying attention, and we are there to do it. and the last thing i would like to say, we talked about the roots of this city, the great history of this city with later -- labor. indeed ilwu, the international longshoremen are seeing in, is not giving up jurisdiction. i just want to make that point. it is exciting for us, and we're looking forward to working together with the american cup and the port commission to do whatever you need to happen to make this project a smooth transition throughout the process. so thank you, and happ

and lastly, having met jimmy herman, who really was a force of nature, i am thrilled that the cruise ship terminal will be named in his honor. thank you. commissioner lazarus: there is an expression as some people like to use, if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself. i think that assumes that you have a good skills that to do that. so i would like to observe as well that clearly the executive director has assembled the a team here at the port to get this to where we are today. i add my thanks and my commendation to everybody. i think the decision to try to do it ourselves, in conjunction with fellow city departments, was clearly the right one. so on words and upwards. >> i think we should all ditto that statement. [laughter] >> we have heard a lot of public comment, most of the supporting the cruise ship terminal, so i would like to defer to our legal counsel on the last comment that was made, just to let us know that it is ok to move forward or not. >> we do believe it is a party to move forward at this point in time. yes. commissioner brandon: thank you. i had the

i had the pleasure of serving on the commission with commissioner jimmy herman, and he was such a wonderful person. so to ditto some of the public comment on this is a great day in port history, in that we're finally, i hope, putting a shovel in the ground and building a new cruise terminal. this is my second opportunity on building a new cruise terminal, but i feel really good about this one. [laughs] i want to echo my fellow commissioners and applaud director moyer and the staff for bringing this item to assign such a short time span. it is a great item. without saying anything else, all in favor? resolutions 1175, 1176, 1177, and 1178 have been approved. [applause] [cheers and applause] commissioner brandon: thank you so much. i would like to request a short recess, hopefully 10 minutes. >> commissioners, the title for item 9b has been revised. all located along the embarcadero waterfront, located along the north side of islet creek. request development of this position agreement and related actions to implement the 34th america's cup project of, involving use of peers and adjacent water

jimmy. this is herman cain. >> jimmy: thank you. the herminator, everyone. we're not giving up.husala lived for 999 years, right? when i was preparing for tonight's show, i remembered something. let me get -- i found -- under my phone. this is a note that i wrote to myself on the night of our premiere back in 2003. i put important on the envelope. but i don't remember what is in it. i was going to wait for ten years. but i kind of want to open it now. should i open it now?

stephen colbert and herman cain held a rally, our panel will weigh in, goldie taylor, jimmy williamsing up. >>> in "psycho talk" tonight, one percent mitt is trying to appeal to regular americans once again. he tried to make himself appear more in touch than his competitors. >> my view a perfect example of why we need to send to washington someone who has not lived in washington but someone who lived in the real streets of america. >> what real streets? is mitt romney talking about? the ones by his $12 million beach house in california? by his mansion in new hampshire? maybe he's talking about the street by his old house in massachusetts. or his seven bedroom ski cabin in utah. wonder if the streets are paved. maybe romney has more experience with the real streets of america than we thought. >> we need to send to washington someone who has not lived in washington but someone who lived in the real streets of america. >> i like being able to fire people. >> there nothing wrong with r profit. >> closer to 15%. >> 10,000 bet? ♪ >> what's up gangstas? the mi double tizzle. >> never get in

. >> jimmy: like a pee-wee herman bike? >> yes. exactly. under the tree. >> jimmy: oh, my gosh. [ laughter ] >> and i -- you know, i told my brother -- he said he remembers loving his bike. i remember being horrified by this thing. >> jimmy: yeah. scared, yeah. >> and then we took them out on the block, and you know, within five minutes, we're being ridiculed. you know, and -- [ laughter ] yeah, so it was awesome because my dad was that kind of dad who would do those kind of things. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so, his heart was in the right place. >> jimmy: my parents are weird people. like my parents would -- they didn't want to get me a bike 'cause they wouldn't let me cross the street when i was growing up. [ light laughter ] i was very overprotected child. but i got a bike at a yard sale, and it was made out of pipes like plumbing pipes and the seat was made out of like a -- it was like this fuzzy black seat. and i was like, "gross. i'm just going to take that off." i took it off, and it was a toilet seat cover that someone had -- >> oh, classic

herman cain thinks anyone is still listening to him. >> speaker gingrich is running for president. and going through this sausage grinder. i know what this sausage grinder is all about. >> jimmyif i was herman cain, i'd drop the word "sausage" and "grinder" from my vocabula vocabulary. but i'm not. [ applause ] sarah palin, by the way, sarah palin has also been supportive of newt gingrich but she hasn't made an official endorsement yet. her husband endorsed newt gingrich but he's a snowmobiler so nobody cares. sarah palin, on the other hand, has been dancing around her endorsement of newt. which was the topic of much important discussion this morning on cnn. >> sarah palin singing newt gingrich's praises yet again. take a listen. >> if for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote for newt. >> all right, guys, why not just endorse him? if she did, how would it impact his campaign? >> because it's good for business to speak well of newt. >> i think she's spending her political capital very, very wisely with this. >> let her do what she was born to do. yeah. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: here's a -- here's a newt gingrich-related item snoop might approve of. a rap son

jimmy: yes. he is getting some support. hermanho i miss, gave a great speech in south carolina today. ever since he dropped out of the race, people have been wondering who herman cain would endorse for president. and today, he finally revealed his selection. the candidate herman cain is endorsing is we, the people. he said, we, the people. i didn't even know we were running. [ laughter ] he endorsed the american people for president, which i see several things wrong with this. first and foremost, how are we all going to live in the white house? i think there's only one bathroom right there. and cain is adamant that this isn't a stunt. and i agree. stunts are interesting. but his speech today, say what you want about herman cain. the man knows how to get a crowd going. >> the message is real simple. this revolution is going to have to be driven from the bottoms-up. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's the actual audience. plenty of tickets still available. [ applause ] i haven't seen a crowd like that since sanjaya at the north hills mall

jimmy: this is my favorite sweater. pro, spending time with people during the holidays can be a touching experience. con, so can working with herman> steve: oh. [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] >> jimmy: oh, like you know him. [ laughter ] pro, you got so wasted you don't even remember what happened at your office holiday party. con, facebook remembers. [ laughter ] and finally, pro, hearing grandma say "i can't wait to see the yule log." con, hearing grandpa say "that's what she said." [ laughter ] that's the pros and cons, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ pros guys, there are only four shows before we go on christmas break. it's time for the beloved "late night" tradition, "12 days of christmas sweaters." [ cheers and applause ] ♪ ♪ 12 days of christmas sweaters four days left ♪ >> jimmy: every show -- every show. got hit by that. every show between now and christmas we're giving one lucky audience member an off the chain christmas sweater from the countdown to christmas cabinet. since there are four shows left, let's open door number four. [ drumroll ] everything okay? >> yes, great. it's christmas all over the place. >> jimmy

(cheers and applause) >> stephen: can i get an amen. >> amen! >> stephen: you're good. before i introduce the man we've all gathered here to see introduce me, i want to solicit the other candidates in the racive. think people are hungering for a positive campaign. so i'm to the going to go after this man's opponents. i won't be

herman, former port commissioner. i'm sure he would be thrilled with the budget investment in maritime infrastructure in at least 50 years. jimmy was elected to serve as the ilwu international president, succeeding union founding father harry bridges. these are big shoes to fill, but fill them he did. his fierce commitment to the ordinary people did the work of the world is outspoken contempt for those who exploded them. his compassion for the underprivileged is absolute refusal to tolerate injustice with audience to anyone in range of his exceptionally persuasive voice. jimmy served as president of the ilw for 14 years and as a member of the san francisco port commission. i have to tell you, you have not lived unless you have stood at a podium and had jimmy staring down at you with those thick glasses, poised to ask a question. he was fiercely protective of the port's maritime mission. naming a terminal after him should be a constant reminder to our maritime routes. this is truly a momentous occasion for the port in the city. having personally worked on the last three or four crew some plans, i had a real sense of pride of bri

jimmy: we have everybody. we have newt gingrich? no, no, no. we have herman cain? no, no, wait, wait, we have rick santorum.>> rick santorum. oh, god, please let him go the distance. [ laughter ] rick santorum is amazing. rick santorum believes that one of the problems with america is that there's too much birth control. and if there were only less birth control in america, we would be much better off. also, he thinks that the reason that we can't pay for social security in his mind, we can't pay for social security, is because there's too much abortion. so if we had less abortion, we would be fine paying for social security. >> jimmy: i never thought of it that way. >> bring it on, dude! i would love to hear this debate. i would love to hear this debate between you and barack obama. please, jesus. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: and rick perry? what happened to him? >> god bless him. [ laughter ] rick perry sort of almost quit after iowa. >> jimmy: what happened there? >> why would anybody quit after iowa? nobody turns out. 4% of the voters in iowa turn out for the caucus or something like that. in n

herman ] "let me guess. 'just dance'?" [ laughter ] >> steve: "i'm standing just like daddy." >> jimmy: i just saw this. a recent survey found that 40% of parents tell their kids santa isn't real after they turn 8 years old. [ audience aws ] while -- while the rest aren't total liars, right, mom and dad? [ laughter ] [ scattered applause ] santa's real, you guys. [ cheers and applause ] speaking of christmas, this is interesting. a new study found that christmas is the best time to tell loved ones they are overweight. [ laughter ] on the other hand, no, it's not. [ laughter ] what's wrong with people? did you see this? in a new interview, president obama was asked to describe michelle and he used the words "beautiful, smart, and funny." when asked how he picked those, he used the words, "she's sitting right next to me." [ laughter and applause ] speaking of michelle obama, a wisconsin congressman is facing criticism after saying that michelle has "a large posterior." [ light laughter ] though michelle took it as a compliment when she heard the guy's name -- congressman mix-a-lot. [ laughter and applause

jimmy: that is some laugh. that laugh, it reminded me of someone. but i'm trying to place where i -- [ laughter ] the very beautiful herman muenster. "mob wives."governor of utah jon huntsman has dropped out of the race for president to return to his former job as the guy in the picture that comes with the frame. you know him, right? there he is. [ laughter ] during his concession speech on sunday, huntsman endorsed his opponent, mitt romney, which is interesting, considering how critical he was of romney throughout the campaign. in the old days you could get away with this sort of thing because people would forget what you said. now that we have the internet, you can't forget. and they've been pulling all of the anti-romney rhetoric they had on their website. and they have toned down other statements on the web. like this one that questioned his integrity. >> i want to restore the principles that made america. >> mitt romney says he's for conservative values. is he telling us the truth? >> yes. >> is he talking out of both sides of his mouth. >> nope. >> how many more promises will he break? >> none. >> mitt romney, a true -- >> leader! >> i'm
