limbaugh. by mocking the chinese language and culture, his actions have the little chinese americans as well as chinese people throughout the world. his remarks also undermine the base of our immigrant community's efforts and struggle for language equality and multi legalism and how the cultural diversity brings strength and richness to san francisco and the whole nation. i urge support from all of my colleagues as well, and i would like to thank supervisors chu chiuchu avalos, and campos for cosponsoring with me, and supervisor mirkarimi as well -- i would like to thank supervisors chu, chiu, avalos, and campos. supervisor campos: in introducing a resolution calling for february 6 through february 12 as financial aid awareness week. this resolution recognizes that higher education is key to a successful future in our country, and as we know, the ability of many of our youth to access higher education depends on their ability to secure financial assistance, and as the cost of college and univer

the resolution is being considered to condemn rush limbaugh. i would urge this board to vote no on that resolution out of respect for oliver. he has been waiting 35 years for a thank you from san francisco, yet san francisco has the nerve to demand an apology from rush limbaugh. first things should be first. >> good afternoon. my name is dale seymour. i am a tenderloin historian and director of walking tours. we are proud to say we are going to premier and open up our tours with a reception thursday at 2:00 p.m. we already have a representative from supervisor kim's office. i am hoping some of you guys will come. we have food for you. if you come, i will tell you where ali boxed. i will tell you what building would see ss officers patrol during the war. i will tell you where the name tenderloin came from. i will give you all those answers if you come. we are planning to do this. i have been endorsed by mayor brown. i would appreciate your how -- your help. i know we are looking for a police chief. what we need are homicide detectives. if you kn

i think rush limbaugh half the time i should think a liberal could laugh at him. he's very funny. and he's making a lot of good sense and a lot of good jokes. and though inasmuch as a liberal sees rush limbaugh as a fanatic, that liberal is admitting himself and to the world that he's a fanatic. >> host: next call for mr. tyrrell comes from tim in boston. hi, tim. >> caller: hello, peter and mr. tyrrell. i've got two things i'd like to hear about a little bit, one being pat buchanan who seems to have been banished to the black hole of msnbc. i think he's one of our great statesmen, and i'd like to see him more involved with -- look, i don't know why he's not on fox, personally, but anyway, he's on top of that coming from the -- [inaudible] free trade. i've always had issue in the sense that if, you know, if we were in competition between, you know, pay, productivity and quality straight up, america would win outright. but american, you know, manufacturing and so on has been so overburdened with imposed regulates by the state, isn't it the state obligated to level that playing fiel

"the skinny" is next. ♪ skinny so skinny ♪ >>> welcome back, everybody. lots of interesting dish today in "the skinny." this has come up in "the skinny" the last couple of months but the controversial movie about amanda knox. about the girl accused of killing her roommate. while in italy. it aired last night, which is why we're mentioning it today. this thing will air in the midst of tons of controversy, which, let's face it, never hurts ratings. >> her parents, the controversy, too. >> oh, yeah because her stepfather came out and talked about the real amanda knox when she saw the film said amanda was amazingly shocked by it. she said she literally started hyperventilating and felt like she was going to throw up. this thing with lifetime is nothing more than them trying to make a buck. it's disgusting. hayden was on "kelly & regis" and asked about amanda's guilt. she says iemt torn. i genuinely have no idea. she defends the movie but other folks have criticized the s

. >>> plus, on top of that, controversial comments by rush limbaugh about first lady michelle obama. >>> and baseball history, as a female pitcher takes the mound. yikes, this color just sucks the life out of me. i was just gonna say that! about this flat haircolor! let's dimensionalize! [ gigi ] try nice 'n easy, with colorblend technology. anti-flat, always dimensional. in one simple step, get a beautiful blend of tones and highlights, built into every shade. see ya, flat!

movement is made up of talk radio, of cable tv, of fox news, of talk radio with sean hannity and rush limbaugh and mark levin, and it's made up of the internet. recently the new york sun came on the internet, that's a good thing. it's made up of "the wall street journal" which has created an antidote to the new york times. so there is a culture in our country, and, by the way, national review and commentary. we are creating a culture that is vanquishing the culture smog. but for now the culture smog is out there, and we have to deal with it. it's the one pollutant that the liberals never say anything against. but i as an environmentalist of sorts have spoke out against the culture smog and done my best to vanquish it, and the people that i've just mentioned are vanquishing it right there with me. >> host: what's an example of the culture smog? >> guest: well, we're on the 100th anniversary of ronald reagan today. and the culture smog has dealt with reagan as best it can. it's dealt with reagan as an impossible bunkler through his presidency, it's dealt with him as an amiable dunce toward the e

a rush limbaugh is running to the bank. talk more about that. >> guest: is on the show the other night. here is a book, that's the only part he pulled out on me. -- i said put that in context. the context the fact that right now there are no leaders, there's not a leader of the conservative movement. there is no leader of the republicans. and so you have people who are looking for that leader and what happens is they listen to rush limbaugh, sean hannity, they listen to glenn beck, they listen to talk radio. that's the voice because they have no other voice. and my process was don't look down to run for office because the reality of it is a true bdy listened to rush limbaugh, voted for him and he would still only use about 40, 50 million votes because you've got this whole other group of here who just don't like him. and he understands that. he puts on a show. and so they are running the they are running to the bank. you need to find someone who's actually running for office and get behind that person that in fact is runnin

rush limbaugh yesterday had some unkind words for the obamas.uldn't believe it, either. on his show, he criticized michelle obama for eating ribs for dinner while in vacation in colorado. he said mrs. obama is a hypocrite because she promotes healthy eating and ate ribs, which, well, isn't that the morbidly obese pot calling the keting african-american? he said she doesn't look like she follows her own dietary advice. i love that rush is commenting on somebody else's weight. this guy would eat his own ribs if you put sauce on them. the idea that someone as weighty as rush limbaugh would call someone else fat is kind of hilarious. we decided to take the audio from rush's rant yesterday and combining it with video from "the flintstones." here's how that came out. >> michelle obama is urging, demanding, advocating, demanding cardboard and tofu. michelle, my bell, took the kids out to vail and they were spotted eating and feasting on ribs. ribs that were 1,575 calories per serving with 141 grams of fat. she is a hypocrite.

. >> i want to commend rushed limbaugh for the fine work that he did. he was not disrespecting the chinese. he is disrespecting the murderous communist chinese as part of the eugenics program. not long ago, dr. king mentioned in the world summit conference that we need to reduce the population by 90%. that is what red china is doing you can obtain a copy of the speech on radioliberty.com if you think i'm lying. good for you, rush. i'm of the opinion that the 1335 days in the book of daniel is anywhere from november 27, 2009, to march 15-16, 2010. in other words, there was a 108- day window for opening for the conclusion of the so-called 1335 days, which i interpret as 287- year cycles -- 28 seven-year cycles from christ. probably 5108 days, which ended either on the last day of the sabbatical cycle or the first day of the sabbatical cycle. i cannot legitimately stretch it out. i mentioned one time that my last day of my 50th year was my son daniels 4444 day, which does not mean anything other than i would still be 50 years old, even though at 50 years o

eloquently, i have nothing more to add except that i would really like to see them pull the plug on rush limbaugh. [laughter] president chiu: next speaker. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors, and thank you very much for your time, or should i say good evening. i am here in support of the resolution to save kusf. by now, many of you know the federal communications act has been homogenized. somehow, this has encroached into the public have of the dial, left of 92. in the last couple of weeks, i have received letters and phone calls of support from my constituents around the country, amazed at what is happening in the unfortunate decision about how in san francisco we are standing up and fighting for what we believe is right. they said in new york we would probably not do that. we have too much going on in our schedule. in san francisco, this is something we will do. i am urging the san francisco board of supervisors to take the same position. i would like to draw a precedent and correlation briefly. back in the 60's, one of the largest protests that happened here went on for about 10 years. it

>> you bust rush limbaugh. he learned there is a fourth amendment to the constitution.seriously, how do we do it? i am not sure. one of the things that i struggled with, in particular, in robert blake's case, when i got into the case, i was determined not to get caught up in the media and to be the same person at the end of the case as i was at the beginning. i think of lawyers need to be lawyers, not try to be entertainers. you would know better. >> just so you know, i covered him while he was trying that case and desperately tried to get him to come to me during the case. i felt it was so important for the public to understand the constitutional issues that were coming up, but he rightly wanted to remain focused on the client and case at that time. so how do we educate the public while remaining true to the cause of the work? >> i was going to have a hard time controlling these guys. >> you have a panel of lawyers and you are telling them to shut up, and you are not even wearing a black robe. [laughter] by the way, putting a black robe on a suit does not give you a go

. >> sarah palin, michele bachmann and rush limbaugh all criticized michelle obama's antiobesity campaign as a nanny state run amuck. you say they are all wrong and in fact we should be thanking the first lady. >> i didn't say they are all wrong let's be clear because it sounds like i'm in a war with sarah palin and michele bachmann and rush limbaugh. michelle obama has proposed that we recognize that we have a serious obesity crisis which we do. 75% of the military eligible kids can't call qualify for the physical because they are overweight or obese. this is no longer a health issue an economic issue, it is becoming an issue of national security. >> less than two minutes less. >> chris: two issues that you face if you get back into the process. all the got yous that you say you dread. if you do run for president. conservative fiscal groups said you you were a big tax and spender as governor of arkansas. taxes went up a net of $500 million during your years as governor including an increase in the sales tax. increase in the cigarette tax and a 3% income tax surcharge. >> the surcharge i

rush limbaugh is running to the bank. talk a little about that. >> guest: here's the book. that's the only party pulled out on me by said put that in the context. the context is the fact there are no leaders of the conservative movement. there is no leader of the republican movement and so you have people looking for that leader and what happens is they listen to rush limbaugh, glenn beck, talk radio, that's the voice because they have no other voice, and my process was don't look to them to run for office because the reality is a sifry bdy listened to rush, voted for russia, he would still only lose by 40 or 50 million votes because he's got this whole other group out here who just doesn't like him and he understands that he puts on a show and so they are running to the bank. you need to find somebody that is running for office and get behind the person that in fact is running for office and support them. another thing we do we seem to have a tendency who's running for governor, who's running for president. what about schools, what about mayors, supervisors, what about thi

you think that there's also a fear that if you speak out against people like glenn beck like rush limbaugh perhaps then well then they're just going to go on the attack against you next there's that fear but there's also the fear that the other side will take it sees it and just start kicking it like a dead horse and we know that happens on both sides right if any if anybody if there's any perception that there is conflict within the party or political spectrum the other side i know i would do it on my show and we're talking about it here so that clearly it's happening will start saying hey look at what's going on so that there's there's the fear you mention but there's also that fear. yeah i mean i get that but like i said i'm still kind of more feeling like everyone's a little bit spineless here because you know i really think that it shows how much these t.v. radio personalities these pundits how much influence they have on our culture especially you know the political culture in america today if you needed more evidence that there was there were spineless people in the media and in pun

movement is made up of talk radio, cable-tv, fox news, talk-radio with shaun and eddie and rush limbaugh and marc levin and it is made up of the internet. it is made up of the wall street journal which is -- has created an antidote to the new york times. so there is a culture in our country, the american spectator at national review, commentary. we are creating a culture that is the culture smog. for now it is out there and we have to deal with it. it is the one point that the liberals never say anything against. i as an environmentalist of sorts have spoken against the culture smog and done my best to vanquish it. the people i just mentioned are vanquishing it. >> host: what is an example of the culture smog? >> guest: con the hundred anniversary of ronald reagan day, the culture smog has dealt with reagan as best it can. it dealt with him for his presidency, it dealt with him as an inalienable guns for the end of his presidency and now is trying to present ronald reagan has kind of a liberal. to stealth politician, liberal values. i knew ronald reagan. i had him in my house. i was in h

conservative counterculture is growing by leaps and bounds and i point out en my books that rush limbaugh mark levin and sean hannity have an ongoing colloquium on air, about advancing ideas and taking issue with them everi themselves and that is for the good and if they are a popular rendition of conservatism it shouldn't surprise anybody, 70% of america or more sub describe to conservatism and -- subscribe to conservatism and that is good. >> 737-0001, for the eastern time zone and 737-0002, mountain and pacific time zone, send us an e-mail, or a tweet, and, this e-mail from earl mchugh in new jersey. why is it that you and other conservatives consider ronald reagan as such an iconic figure when he never submitted a balanced budget to the congress in his eight years as president? >> well, he was fighting the cold war and we won the cold war and why would anyone take issue with my simple claim that after barry goldwater came ronald reagan? now, there were other conservative politicians, too, but ronald reagan came to the fore, and he represented our values. i mean, they are my values and

guys out there thinking like rush limbaugh, but intel was limbaugh but the mob by radio nobody accountant before the tea party may have had some sense that people did not want to spend too much, but there was not believed -- belief that if he spent too much it would hurt you in the next election. there are people who used to be in the senate who are there now because they spent too much. ten years ago they would have been advertising how cool they were about bringing earmarks back. the tea party is the fix for exactly what you pointed to. enemy number one are the appropriators. as you know, the republican party in washington, democratic party, and the appropriations committee, they don't wear our jersey's. the discipline that the republican leaders have put on the appropriations committee as a result of the tea party movement has changed the dynamics that undermine what gingrich was trying to do and what reagan was trying to do. >> i would simply add to that a few points. i disagree with grover on certain margins. i don't believe that the left is evil, but i do see that once the money is

is it possible the show men on the conservative side, rush limbaugh, present an image which offsets to a large degree the arguments and positions of thoughtful, intelligent observers like krauthammer, david lynn because and others? >> i think we all talk to different audiences. and to some degree, i've seen the conservative movement grow from a movement of a handful of intellectuals to a movement of a whole armful of intellectuals. a popular movement now. and a popular movement we shouldn't be surprised a popular movement will have spokesman and i think that's perfectly normal and i'm glad we have rush and sean and bill o'reilly and i think they serve a good purpose but i want have them editing the american spectator. >> red forest tweets in, could you please get mr. tyrrell's view on the revolts in tunisia and egypt? >> well, i don't -- i mean, anything that imperils peace in the middle east is a very dangerous situation. of course, the greatest danger to the middle east right now is mubarak and egypt. and i would like to think that they're over the short run solving that situation. i
