kind of have to come into your own identity as a... not just a mexicano, but now as not just a latin american but as a latino. >> yeah. >> hinojosa: which is quite different than... you know, you're not a latino when you live in latin america. you're a latino when you come to the united states. >> totally, no, and i think that is... that is a fascinating thing. so while this had happened, i thought that that opening of the ssion and that embracing had already been done. so i come to museo and i... i... there is all this controversy, and the reason i was drawn to el museo in this particular stage of my life was the fact that i had grown to be a latino in europe, actually. because in mexico, no, you're just there, you know? but as i moved to europe and then when i started working at unesco, well, there was subgroups of... and the... the group of caribbean and latin american people to discuss some issues. so there, both in the artistic communities of poets, of artists and everything, i encountered the fact that i participated to a larger thing than being mexican, but it was that we have so much

the only latin american ceo at that time. fortune 500 company. >> i was the second cuban- american ceo. ironically the first was a ceo of coca-cola. you can imagine he became ceo in 1984. i was general manager of kellogg mexico when i found out that another cuban-american had made it to ceo of coca-cola, the most american of brands. it was a great motivation for me. >> president bush tapped you to be secretary of commerce in 2004. you have always been at the forefront of free cuba, immigration policy in the united states. how do you see that? i clipped an article i mentioned right before we sat down of president clinton saying we need more immigrants. in the future you need immigrants. this is an article that appeared in "the washington post." we have to settle that. i think the immigrants who come here -- this is immigrant country. case in point, your dad and family. they contribute so much. they have so much courage. their work so hard, and i just think it is fear. -- they work so hard. illegal people, another story. >> that

my dream is one day we said, "we're going to the latin american jazz festival," which already there isle are embracing this music with the power that you wouldn't believe. kids playing... from early on playing this music. they are really into. they love it. they love the freedom of expression. so i see latin america playing a very important role in keeping jazz alive and in development of jazz, too. >> hinojosa: for all of that inspiration, for all of the joy of your music, thank you so much. and for being right here. >> thank you very much.

and canada and britain and france in an effort to try to get these latin american countries to step up and take hundreds of thousands, even millions of jews. what is the result? pardon? >> [ inaudible ]. >> i can't hear you. >> they say no. >> exactly. they all express their sympathy. but they all say, but. we already have enough. our economies are too struggling, we can't afford it. there's a wonderful article in "the washington post" on the evian conference that called it, the "but for" conference. yes, we would like to help the jews, but for. and fill in the blank. one country agreed to take in large numbers of jews. anybody know what that was? no? you know, a tiny fraction of the size of brazil. >> chile? >> pardon? >> chile? >> much tinier than chile. >> no, you're all guessing. the dominican republic. headed by whom? was he a nice guy? no, he was one of the most bloodthirsty dictators, in an era of bloodthirsty dictators. he didn't have the power of hitler, but if he did he might not have been quite as bad but he would have been mighty bad. he was responsible for the murder of ce

identify that common ground which means that together we can make solutions, whether they're latin american, northern american solutions, or they're that critical relationship between countries in the middle east and the united states. i don't know if i was very clear on that one. >> hinojosa: well, no, but i think what you're saying is that the human contact is so important, the understanding of humanity. and so, you know, again, you are such a symbol in so many ways, your majesty. so i'm sure that there are many people who would be surprised, or maybe have forgotten the fact that you became a muslim yourself. and so people are saying, "wait a second. the queen is a muslim, but she doesn't look like someone who i think, or have been told, or the image..." so for people who are wondering, well, what does a muslim in america like you, or in the world that you live in, all around the world, how do you live your life as a muslim on a daily basis? what does it mean? >> it's more than living it on a daily basis. it's an approach to one's life in the short... today, in this moment, and for one's

and from then on, all through the latin american revolutions, we have the first state to recognize them. now, there is one revolution -- this is true throughout the 19th century. every 1848, the greek rebellion, 1820. the french bourgeois monarchy, and they were the first state in the world normally to recognize the new regimes. which all failed, of course. there's one revolution we don't recognize and of course the obvious one is the haitian. and that was not that haitian republic was not recognized until lincoln's. this was a rebellion of slaves who slaughtered the white masters. it was impossible for a southern dominated one to recognize that. >> but john adams did send a console. >> yeah, but we didn't diplomatically recognize it. the federalists were very keen on having relations with the haitian government. again, the federalists have come up in the eyes of scholars over the last 20 years, through much of our history, through the 20th century. it's the jeffersonian who dominated scholarly attitudes. they were the party of the democrats and they were the party of the small farmers

is are we seeing in real time what happens under a modern financial occupation now people in latin american countries or perhaps an asian countries or eastern european countries might say come on this is nothing new this is the i.m.f. our work we have seen it before but is the western model of financial plunder and consolidation turning onto itself is that what we're seeing as the western world is now we're finding developed nations imploding under the gravity of their own debts well let's bring the rockwell in to tell us what he thinks he's executive chairman of the lead. mrs institute and author of this book the left right and the state and it's such a big day it's really good to have you on the show lou and nice to see you as always thanks for being here good to be with you absolutely so let's talk about greece because it really seems like in the past we've seen these negotiations and maybe some political theater but it felt like political grandstanding and like this was going to get done but now you really have some material difference one being one that i referred to which is that one

irish, chinese, italian, african american, latin american, gay, lesbian, trans but -- transgendered people, hippies, techineiees, you name it. together, we all build a city like no other on earth. we made san francisco the innovation capital of the world. [applause] today, more than ever, san francisco is uniquely poised to innovate on the future right now, by capitalizing on our greatest resource, our people. innovation is not just about technology. it is about a different way of thinking and approaching our problems. it is through innovative approaches to crime fighting that san francisco remains one of the safest big cities in america. last year, violent crime was down by 6%. it remains at historic lows not seen since the 1960's. pension reform is another prime example of what i have been talking about. the key to meeting our challenges in the future. across the country, pension reform was a wedge issue. it shut down governments and divided people. here in san francisco, we once again showed that we are a city that knows how. we brought everyone to the table. be put in the long hours. w

kennedy was nice enough to actually shake hands with little children who were from a latin american country, because that was so unusual at the time. one thing both john and jacqueline kennedy i think both felt is what you are saying, ted, one test of american power is the number of missiles and nuclear weapons and so, but often times just as important is how people think about america in their hearts and that was what the peace corp was about. >> there's wonderful statements in the book -- >> one or two. >> -- thank goodness. i learned she named her poodle degall -- >> this was my foot note, she should not be held responsible for that. >> did those surprise snu >> when she said that she came to have, i think the same opinion of french people as she did of people in wisconsin. i think sort of for the same reasons, because wisconsin did not ultimately vote overwhelmingly for john kennedy and the french particularly charles degall was giving her husband a great deal of trouble. so i think you can see the things to some extent as a great test of loyalty. >> there's language in the middle of th
