moore says she's not only innocent but hopes to someday be compensated for her time in jail.'s envisioned the plan in detail. >> i want disney to create and search for prince charming and they find me the perfect man and then we go in dates on all the disney world theme parks and he'll have to dress up like prince charming and i have to dress up like cinderella. i think that would be a good reality show all the guys that glass slippers and the only slipper that fits me is the guy i want to marry and then i marry at the cassle and i marry at the cassle i want mickey mouse and minnie and all of them at my wedding and goofy and donald duck. >> that sounds like the wedding to be at. >> the wedding of the century. >> for the time being moore's cassle is a 12 x 7 foot cell. >> that's it, but i think when you really get hit that you're in jail is when you lie down. it was like concrete. my dog has a softer bed. it's hard. it's a hard mattress. and they've been reused so many times they're like covered five times over so they've got the musty smell, and so you wonder how many bacteri

moore says a man named ronald killed shakespeare for part of his fortune. prosecutors say ronald doesn't exist. >> the cops say he's a figment of my imagination. this guy is real, and i know if i show his picture, somebody somewhere is going to identify him. i'm going to show the picture of who killed abraham. that's what hasn't been released. and when he's identified, then he'll be arrested and they'll have to drop my first-degree murder charge. >> i'm not aware of the picture. >> the real picture of the guy i left abraham with that night. >> you drew it? >> no, this is a real picture. >> how did you get that? you haven't told me about that. >> well, i have never told anybody about it because i could die, you know? it wasn't worth dying for, but now it is. >> truth is better than fiction. you can't make up dee dee. i never know what she's going to come up with. >> i'm ready to sell my story. i don't want to have to wait until trial. if you get my story sold, you tell them i'll interview with them next week. whenever you sell it i'll interview with them rig

commissioner moore: i can live with that. it would be nice to have silkscreen on the window itself, but that is probably asking too much, huh? i think one of the problems has to do with parking on the left side of the street, as commissioner fong pointed out. i think it also has to do with it the signs being set too far back in the property. have you explored whether to move them closer, towards the street, towards the sidewalk side? >> the position of the signs we have shown are relatively close to the edge of the street. that are pretty much close to the edge of our property line. we put them as close as we can. so, the exact distance of each of their sons would still have to be determined. we tried to -- we tried to move the buildings closer. commissioner moore: it looks like roosevelt to me. is completely suburban. it is taking a city street and making it like a suburban driveway. is something i have a problem with. is there any way we could study and help the developer move those, to give them at a lower height, which i

commissioner moore: does that track from front to back? >> the front windows, we would keep as they are. we would not change the character. commissioner moore: what is the idea about the glass reeling? is that because you want more transparency to make the building look less massive, or create more -- create more unobstructed views? >> both of those. the primary use our south-facing from this property. it is up on the hill and is a self-sloping property. to reduce the mass, we did not want to use stucco or other heavy materials where we did not have to. commissioner moore: we are very concerned for large glass railings facing public open spaces, because we are concerned that birds have a tendency to confuse glass as being an open space beyond. are you thinking of giving any kind of indication peck's -- indication? i am not sure where the code is, but i want to remind us that we are using quite a bit of glass over the five stories of your building. >> i have not thought about that, but we certainly can. commissioner moore: with the departme

>> my mother, her name was veronica moore. she passed away in 2002, a wonderful, great mother to have. i write about her in the book. my dad is still with us. he is turning 90 this summer. his name is frank moore. grew up on the eastside of flint. both of my parents came from irish catholic families, and my mom's family actually were pioneers in the area. they first came here in the 1830s in michigan. that my dad's family, you know they all went -- worked for factories and all that. they have all been great influences on me and feel very fortunate to have been. >> how often do you get back to flint? >> i am there every month. i live north of flint in northern michigan so my dad still lives down there. i am down there once or twice a month, spend a number of days there. he still drives and goes to mass mass every day, ghosted gym. clearly i did not obey him. but, no, i visit flint quite a bit and of course all of my friends are still there. >> a politically active family? >> i wouldn't say politically active? one of the first t

commissioner moore? commissioner moore: i am still curious as to whether or not we are going to have the institution speak to the neighbors first. as i said earlier, i don't know, but i think there is a part of communication missing here which i would request. >> commissioner fong? commissioner fong: i understand that thought. and maybe i can suggest an addition to the current motion that at&t reach out in the proper manner or the landlord to explain to the neighbors within a radius how to apply for testing and neighbor done so. force >> we have done some communication and we would be happy to do that again. commissioner fong: i think this may be a continuous problem and i am sure you have a linguistic team assigned to it, but obviously there are gaps in the way it's being done now. commissioner moore: and with that recommendation coming from you is very important to me because you yourself might be the point person to follow up should somebody from the institution have questions or think about the way t

as a result michael moore was executed. you couldn't actually bear to be there at the execution. tell me about what that did to you. >> well, he had written to me. they had actually shown one of my films one night in the prison, and he saw my name and it was the same as his name. he had written me a letter. so i got on the internet and started a campaign to hold off his execution. remarkably enough, the appeals board or group or whatever there in texas, they put off his execution for almost a year. it was a rare thing to happen in texas. and that brought the lawyers more time to try and stop this from happening. but a couple of months after 9/11 or whatever, that was really -- everyone just kind of -- we're not interested in trying to save the life of a murderer. we're sick of murderers. these murderers killed 3,000 people. when you don't have your head screwed on right -- we had a horrible thing happen to us on on 9/11, but if you start spraying bullets because you're pissed, that won't solve the problem. >> if you had bee

>>> many special guest michael moore, this guy called the beatle, i want to see michael moore kill piersorgan with dental floss. well, maybe not piers morgan, because piers is too pretty. michael moore is more entertaining on piers morgan than the monday night football game. >> i used the words janet jackson and nancy grace together. and it magically happened in los angeles. >> you nearly became a priest. and then you didn't. what happened? >> i begged my parents to go to the seminary. i loved a radical priest when i was in junior high school. >> they kicked you out? >> no, i went in -- at the end of my first year i went in to resign, because i was 14 when i went in, i was 15 then. the hormones kicked in. >> i pray for everybody you have to come across in the future? >> father dewiki was his name. >> he was kicking me out. i said you can't kick me out, i came in here to quit. good, we're in agreement. >> one of the suspicions from the book is one of the reasons you couldn't commit to a cellibat life is because you were in favor with women? >> well, right. there's not to be any sexual act

i will try to draw michael moore out of his shell. in just a moment. >>> the don't ask, don't tell law which kicked people out of the u.s. military for being gay will be fully repealed officially at one minute past midnight tonight. yes, there will be some celebration by gay service members, by gay people who wish to join the military. and people who fought for this law for 18 years. and more broadly, supporters of president obama who will celebrate repeal as a very big, very difficult to keep promise that mr. obama made and that he kept. it took a lot of work but the repeal got through congress during the lame duck session after the midterm elections this past december. democrats pushed it through the house and through the more problematic senate though the republicans filibustered it there. and even though a senator from his own party's side, the late robert byrd, insisted on an additional 60 days' wait just because an additional 60 days waiting after the military said it was ready to implement repeal of the policy. this all happene

commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner olague: aye. thank you, commissioners. those items have been continued, as discussed. the next calendar is your consent calendar category. the items listed on this category constitute the consent calendar. they are considered to be routine and will be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of this commission, the public, or staff so request. in that event, the matter will be removed to the calendar and considered as a special item -- separate item at this or a future hearing. again, the items are 5a and b. 5a is a request for conditional use authorization for the expansion of an existing wireless telecommunications facility operated by verizon. the expansion would add six antennas on an existing structure. facilities proposed on a location in one site. it is a preferred location, as it is a public structure. it is within a public zoning district. 5b, same address, consideration of a motion making findings of cons

commissioner moore: as quickly as possible to work out the issues at hand. the direction to both parties is this commission is prepared to support it based on the idea that you will work with each other. no more complaining. no more he said-so she said. get down to those things that really matter. it is not just going to be one way or the highway. you have to work out. otherwise, you will run into the same thing as before. people start to accuse each other of not being socially or racially diverse or whatever. that does not fly. we can look at your faces and see who is who and where you come from. so that does not fly. it is really about the issue at hand. you do not agree on certain things. come back and tell us that you have done it. it can be two weeks. it can be four weeks. it is up to you. president olague: we have to vote on this. call the question. commissioner moore: not longer than six weeks. let me give you a date. the six week date would be october 20. commissioner miguel is out that day. president olague: i think we should call the question. the

does that sum up michael moore? >> i am a citizen of this country so first and foremost before i am a filmmaker or anything else, i am a citizen. i try as much as possible to participate as a citizen care placement i resist down there about an hour ago, there was a man there from a more concerted news channel and asking me what was i doing down there. and why am i against capitalism. you do so well, why are you against capitalism. i said you don't know what capitalism is these days. the majority of this country and everybody else is scrambling for crumbs. and i look forward to the day when i don't have to make another one of these films are too many of this because that would be the ultimate best thing to happen. your films have been very direct and the processors that wall street seemed to me to not be lacking in any formal direction. if u.s. and what they're protecting about, whoa kind of people are they. people are a bit cynical about what is going on down there. what do you think. >> when there's a move more pro

moore may want to sure a few thoughts about current events. or the republican opposition in congress. i don't know. i will try to draw michael moore out of his shell. in just a moment. down the hill? man: all right. we were actually thinking, maybe... we're going to hike up here, so we'll catch up with you guys. [ indistinct talking and laughter ] whew! i think it's worth it. working with a partner you can trust is always a good decision. massmutual. let our financial professionals help you reach your goals. whether it can be done safely and responsibly. at exxonmobil we know the answer is yes. when we design any well, the groundwater's protected by multiple layers of steel and cement. most wells are over a mile and a half deep so there's a tremendous amount of protective rock between the fracking operation and the groundwater. natural gas is critical to our future. at exxonmobil we recognize the challenges and how important it is to do this right. >>> the don't ask, don't tell law which kicked people out of the u.s. military for being gay wil

president olague: commissioner moore? commissioner moore: i support the motion. i just encourage all of us, including the department as eastern neighborhoods plan is kicking in and as we have already seen certain trends emerging which when you plan, you never know what the trends really actually will be, that we stay attuned to saturation compatibility, proper mix of use so we're not completely overturning or what really the strength of these particular areas are and the mission is very clear, those people held the frontier for many, many years. what i want to pick up on is a comment commissioner fong made, and that is two family businesses are going to be sitting next to each other with probably the same ideas for their children for pross parity and successful business including a full working business environment. and while we're talking about differences here by background and by one having been there for 40 years, which is a very long time, i think it will create challenges as well as opportunities to really look at the common goals because it's only one and

tonight, a conversation with oscar winning film maker michael moore. so much to get to, including a spot on the release today of the president's plan to do with the debt and shocking numbers about poverty in america. michael is up with a new book called "here comes trouble: stories from my life". our conversation with michael moore coming up right now. >> every community has a martin luther king boulevard. it's the cornerstone we all know. it's not just a street or boulevard, but a place where wal-mart stands together with your community to make every day better. >> nationwide insurance supports tavis smiley. with every question and answer, help tavis improve financial literacy and remove obstacles to economic empowerment one conversation at a time. nationwide is on your side. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. [captioning made possible by kcet public television] tavis: i am always pleased to welcome michael moore to the program. he is out with a terrific new text called "here comes trouble: stories from my li

vice president miguel: thanks. -- commissioner moore: thanks. supervisor kim: ensuring community out with -- outrage is something we considered. we met with the owners and ask them to outreach to the mission neighborhood. it is a concern because there is a conflict within the neighborhood of never heard serving retail versus -- neighborhoods serving retail. we were happy to receive the feedback of a developing partnership. with the rocks when they came to us after the legislation had been introduced we ask them to do the same outrage that many had made to the committee. roxie already does a lot of community partnerships -- roxy does a lot of community partnerships. they showed a documentary about a vietnamese development center. i want to thank our director and are planning commission staff and ms. hayward for working on this with us. thank you. commissioner sugaya: are we limiting this to nonprofit theaters? are we recommending that or no? i think it should be single screen theaters. president olague: i would support single screen theaters. >>

michael moore makes films. documentaries, so he doesn't have a huge staff like most films do but he sends those films to theaters. people decide to go to the theater and pay the price he is charging them the theater is charging. that's capitalism. seven major films. almost $350 million on those films. that's a box office gross. now he himself has made in upwards of 25 million. $50 million. i mean, it's unbelievable. for sicko the movie where the health care industry. that's the documentary there. they went after the health care industry. moore netted 25 had million bucks. at the end of the film the sick people go to communist cuba to find their better life there. moore you think is pocketing a lot of money through capitalistic system. we do know he sued a production company because he wanted even more money. >> the weinsteins were the producers behind 9/11. he made 20 million bucks from that. there was some sort of discrepancy he felt he was owed more so he went after the weinsteins for a little bit over $2 mil

commissioner moore: i would agree with commissioner sugaya. what is in front of us is not ready for prime time. i am quickly looking at the suggested location of the toilets on the roof. there is not even a wall there in which the plumbing might run. it is just drawn somewhere on the roof to be determined later. i do believe that an application requires a specific, accurate delineation if there are other uses in this building which need to be accommodated. i do not think that is in front of you. mr. medjool owns the building and can be specific about his use. however, you cannot ignore that you have a mixed use building with demands that need to be managed in order for the project to come forward. going back to the location of the suggested toilets, at this moment they are not going anywhere. there is not even a common party wall where that plumbing would be coming down. it does not even sit with the existing prominent. that aside, i believe the conditions which could be worked out between the parties are not for us to work out and dr. around.

commissioner moore: i appreciate what you're saying. that is a challenge. all of us are excited by adaptive reuse. we have an interesting project later today which tears a building down and put something interesting in its place. there are many ways. there are combinations of the measures which we have seen a number of architects show us quite well how it can be done. other situations in which you have an industrial building which has a front and back on that large of a lot is a challenge. but this is done in the most simplistic way prepared -- the most simplistic way. we need to guide the project to do a little bit more. commissioner antonini: that is my motion. it is a motion for a continuance to october 20, with project sponsor to address concerns about the number of units that have exposure problems, and perhaps a redesign, to some degree, and also to look at a better rendering of the facade. i am not saying it has to be changed, but if we could have something that shows a little more detail of how it will look when it is finished. that would be my moti

commissioner moore: i lost my train of thought. the rapid transit -- it was one of the things we were saying ourselves, it would be really fresh and grab onto projects that have proven to work across the world. that's what the movie is about and it is really inspiring. commissioner antonini: i was able to tour an area of a future project that won't come before us until next year. it is that san francisco overlook. it's a very interesting area on the western part of san francisco and i think everybody was able to see some of the beautiful things that have been done. there are trails up there that connect over there on a nice day, it's a great walk. commissioner moore: i received calls regarding the armory and people suggesting that we ask the historic preservation commission to weigh in. it's a very difficult situation, particularly when preservation is normally not ask on this project, but i think we could ask for them to look at and give us their thoughts. >>president olague: i also received those e-mail from the owner of the armo

commissioner moore. commissioner moore: i would like to ask the at&t representative who mentioned about neighborhood meetings and mentioned they were conducted in mandarin. and the prevailing language of the chinese population in san francisco is cantonese and if you had that in mandarin, i am not surprise we see 500 signatures of people within 1 1/2 block from your facility if that is indeed true or this was a slip. >> to clarify the earlier statement, we had translation in both, cantonese and mandarin. >> thank you for clarifying that. that still leaves a large number -- thank you. that answers my question. for the commission, i would like to remind the commission when weed that institutional master plan including the building approval, the hospital administration did talk about a need to add antennas to the building in order to basically insure the proper working of the facility which obviously is more than just being on the cell phone. and it's a large data and etc., but i am surprised that the hospi

commissioner moore? commissioner moore: i'm glad the project really has risen to the challenges which were proposed. we obviously don't know the details but it stands in stark contrast to another type of project we were hearing earlier today. i also want to point out the correction that the studio apartments, small studio apartment in this building are 456 square feet large. as far as dealing with creative ideas, green trust idea of the outreach to the neighborhood and all of that i think fits very well. and i'm actually quite enamored to seeing this as a very large part of a dense project in reading the number of architectural challenges which i find quite interesting. so i am in full support of the application, particularly resonating with the neighborhood dog patch, et cetera and others having expressive support for this project. president olague: commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: i may be getting ahead because this has to come up apparently with the board of supervisors but i know the cit

moore, mr. moore, save your speeches for closing. please ask the -- >> the question is do people who join unions go to jail? >> no, it's not. >> professor, professor, please. [inaudible conversations] >> if i want to work for the police department in my local government, or i want to become a teacher in the public schools, should i be forced to join a union and pay those union dues? >> [inaudible] >> overruled. counselor, final question. >> should i be required -- >> you are not required. >> don't you think it's a basic civil right of mine of having the fundamental right of joining that union or not joining that union? >> i think workers in america should have the fundamental right to join a union if they want to. >> or not to. >> wouldn't they want to or not -- whether or not they want to or not as far as a free right to work state, each state should be able to dads on its own. -- decide that on its own. new hampshire would decide one way, other states -- >> but you agree that there are hundreds of thousands of workers in america wh

president olague: commissioner moore? commissioner moore: most of them don't do what they're supposed to do, and they teach us something about colors, which is probably an intent here. i believe -- i wanted to thank, actually, staff as well as city attorney's office of really stepping to the line, even last minute, to come up with a language for our approval, which indeed gives us some more certainty what's in front of us. the difficulties are basically somewhat nebulous and remain so for awful us. so i want to thank the city attorney for really helping make this a more concrete recommendation for the commission and i move that we approved. >> second. president olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: i think in the future this is going to be an extremely desirable place to live, with a development, i think, that will take place hopefully at peer 70, and, of course, already issued the development for the park right across the street. so the comment about illinois, i think it be seeing some great improvement here

commissioner moore: i need to correct myself. thank you for reminding me, when i said mission street, i meant to say howard street. >> if there are no more comments, i would assume this concludes the public hearing for the san francisco museum of modern art expansion and fire station relocation and housing project. comments will be accepted at the planning department's office until the close of business august 25, 2011. commissioners, you are ready to start item #7. the thirty fourth america's cup cruise terminal and >> good afternoon president olague. good afternoon, commissioners. i am with the planning staff, and i am joined by chris kern, also from planning staff. i am also joined by a representatives from paul mitchell, the environmental consultants for the project. some folks are trickling in right now. the item before you today is the public hearing on the draft eir for case 2010.0493e, the james r. herman cruise terminal and northeast wharf plaza. staff came before you on july 7, 2011. the historic preservation commission

joining me now is michael moore, academy award winning filmmaker, activist and author of the new book "here comes trouble: stories from my life." michael, thank you very much for joining me tonight. i love this book and i love its title. "here comes trouble." where are you right now, michael? >> thank you. >> are you causing trouble? >> what are you doing? >> i'm here in liberty plaza in new york city. we are a block or so off wall street. with financial buildings all surrounding us here. we're in the financial district. and we're in the 12th day now of an occupation of liberty plaza here. thousands of people over the last 12 days have come to this plaza. thousands of americans. thousands of people who have come from all walks of life because they have had it. because, i mean, that opening you just gave this segment, that's the most brilliant thing i've heard on television this week. thank you for saying what you just said because nothing happened today for these people, nothing happened yesterday and nothing is going to happen tomorrow. and, you know, they're not going to do anything
