muhammad ali. 50 years ago before he converted to islam, ali was known as clay. an olympic gold medalist. it was clash's clay first shot at the title. and ktvu had a chance to talk to clay before that huge bout with sunny lista. >> i'm always here to promote boxing and clashus clay. i want people to be here to see the world's best fighter, prettiest fighter. the oldest man to retire from the big ugly bear. >> do you really think you can beat sonny listin. >> i don't know i can beat him, i know i can beat him. >> what makes you know you can beat him. >> i've had 20 professional flights and won them automaker. 19 of them i told them the exact rout he was going down. >> have you got a pound for the bear? >> i got a good pound for the bear and i have a good pound for the people who believe in the bear. if you believe in sonny, get ready to lose your money. >> ali was faster and he ended up stopping sonny liston in the seventh round. >> it's never been stopped, he's never been on some graceful. oh i'm so graceful and what made you so good? i didn't stop the fight. i'm

. >> he met with muhammad ali before the game. fast forward to the fourth. green, had himself a career night. 41, suns go up by 5. a high scoring affair. russell westbrook, 36-9-8. ties the game at 116. later, durant, serge ibaka and thunder take the lead but down the stretch, too much from the smooth lefty goran dragic. durant had 34 in the loss. suns score 128. that's going to do it for us. he's bucciman. i'm the coach. enjoy your friday. >> guy, thanks. >>> creative alarm clocks but no one can sleep through it. why it's our right then, here's the "play of the day.". >> all it took was a laser pointer and a playful husky. eyes fixed on the laser, the dog pounces on the sleeping man all the while just trying to catch the moving dot. the ultimate wake-up system here. not a bad idea. >> looks like he's taking his sweet time waking up. that would get me out of bed real quick. >>> up next "the pulse" and want to show you. notice anything wrong here. take a look. one politician taking some serious heat for it. we'll explain why. >> lucky winner. a woman is $2 mi

so he's naturally confident, and likes muhammad ali. >> and rosa parks comes up. this is. obviously they're not going to understand every aspect. >> i talked to them on their terms. imagine if you couldn't sit beside your friend on the bus. and i showed little bella the picture of rosa parks and placed the plate in front of her and she nailed it. >> looking at that, it's inspiring and goes to the element of it, the core of what it is. and yet it's not, of course, we want to be clear -- we're putting some up. it's not just celebrities, and not just the most famous people that might be recognizable from civil rights. you really have a whole range. tell me about that. >> you need to be able to see the breadth, so you need to see there are engineers, scientist, inventors, individuals you've heard about throughout black history month and beyond. but so many other people that you need to know about. and so this book covers everyone from the first african-american to ever vote to your barack obama. so it's definitely important to show that. >> and i've got to be real. th

what's all this talk about a match with muhammad ali ? i mean, ali doesn't fake.ou gotta do is bump into the guy, lie down and take a full count, okay ? he is a very high-strung gentleman, that mr. inoki. he's just-- did you see what he did to his locker ? it's pre-fight nonsense. i have told you in detail about my back problems. yes, you did. and about my blue cross being cancelled. ye-yes, you did. but i want you to know something. he's as gentle as a lamb. he's a pussycat. so don't worry. welcome to the tokyo pavilion. hello, everybody. i'm dick button, substituting for lindsey nelson and dick schaap. and tonight we have a unique, if not extraordinary, event for you. [ speaking japanese ] [ applause, cheering ] ladies and gentlemen, [ speaking japanese ] introducing in this corner martial arts world champion-- well, it's very clear that the unfortunate cancellation... of mr. mean bones beaudine has severely marred the attendance. come to think of it, uh, there's not very much attendance at all. when you get right down to it, there's nobody here. beaudine-- woul

an escoffiere, a muhammad ali, a dalai lama, joey ramone, somebody who changes everything about theirandscape. life after them is never the same. martin picard is such a man. a heretofore unencountered hybrid of rugged outdoorsman, veteran chef with many years of fine dining experience, renegade, innovator, he is one of the most influential chefs in north america. he is also a proud quebecois, and perhaps he more than everyone else has defined for a new generation of americans and canadians what that means. he's an unlikely ambassador for his country and province. but maybe not so unlikely. i mean, look at him, out for a day trapping beaver with local trapper carl. >> no? >> so, the bait is wood? >> yeah, they just eat the bark. >> they eat the bark? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> now, i understand in pioneer days, beaver was the financial engine of canada. empires were built on it. every hat practically in the world was made of a beaver pelt. >> that's why today it's the icon of canada. >> to a lesser extent, the tradition continues today. carl continues to trap, usually called on by provin

muhammad ali was spied upon. anti-war protestors were spied upon.paul really bringing race into a conversation about the nsa? and he doubled down in a speech at uc berkeley last night. >> i find it ironic that the first african american president has without compunction allowed this vast exercise of raw power by the nsa. certainly j. edgar hoover's spying on martin luther king and others in the civil rights movement should give us all pause. >> you find it ironic senator paul? let's clear up a few things. first, president obama knows full well the history of u.s. spying on civil rights leaders. he mentioned dr. king specifically when he announced reforms to the nsa earlier this year. >> during the course of our review i often reminded myself that i wouldn't be where i am today were it not for dr. king who were spied upon by their own government. >> secondly, who is rand paul to make this point? a cynical use of race from some on the right. when the president talked about being sensitive to issue of race, like he said after the trayvon martin verdict

king coming out against the war, before muhammad ali comes out, he comes out. he pays a court. fbi.e department, there's so many different intelligence agencies really trying to stop this guy. >> so remind us, about, and you explore this in the book, the it factor that stokely had. mike references a certain -- white folks are scared factor. there was a political it factor that he combined that other people didn't have. >> absolutely. one of the things i argue in the book is he's black power's rock star. and what i mean bhi that is not to diminish or dismiss, but a real, real appeal to stokely carmichael. you could see from the cover, this is an impossibly handsome man, hugely charismatic, and also funny. so he combined so many different aspects that people of the time don't have. and he's the original founder of the black panther party in lawrence county, alabama, starts out as a political party and he becomes honorary prime minister of that party, which has uie newton, bobby seal, so he's onto cover of magazines -- >> and the last 30 years of his life, talk about t. >> he become s
