[applause] thank you to the panelists. we have time for about two questions. >> hi to the panel and thank you very much. really interesting. i am jack winestein and admitted have a vested interest where you might take this question. i think that what you have done collectively today and especially in this last panel is make a case for more professional development for educators as well as for opportunities for students to develop their moral philosophical voices, so the question i have for you given the current climate, economically and politically, can we afford to separate out this conversation from the larger political and economic conversation that confronts the whole state? and what's the role of this body, educators community leaders in making sure we fund the kind of interventions and developments that lead to division you have described so beautifully. >> can i get one person to answer that? >> real quick. i think the idea that we can help young people and dawlts learn and growth mind set and have to advocate for m

(applause) >> thanks. >> hi. i am cory with san francisco and we're doing stay safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's bu

i am honored to stand on the stage to introduce the moderator who is going to introduce the panelists this afternoon. the panelists will be discussing conversations in black free game celebrating the legacies of rosa parks and eslanda robeson. i am happy to be on the stage with mary frances berry who i last saw in rome italy. she was on a mission to present the plight of the haitian refugees to the pope john paul ii. but moderating the panel this afternoon is dr. weathered, a professor at sarah lawrence college author of a nation within a nation editor of freedom north and groundwork's about the civil rights movement. dr. weathered. see thank you. [applause] it's good to have everybody out this afternoon. we have got a distinguished conversation here with my professor mary berry at the university of pennsylvania. [applause] barbara ransby is the author of a tiger free of ella baker of eslanda robeson and jeanne theoharis the author of the new biography on rosa parks. [applause] we want to start the conversation by talking about rosa parks. what do we know about rosa parks, jane? >> i

i am curious about the other panelists thoughts on this. that is the issue and not the decline in support of iran in the arab world. >> you cannot dismiss the decline in support of iran as a factor. the sunni-shia split is a subtext. i write about that. it is an important one. it is interesting that in some countries less than others, those are countries doing a little bit better. one of the lessons for governments to come out of this is addressing some of the issues of domestic discontent with minorities or majority shia community is that he'll underrepresented or repressed. it is also an issue about the role of terrorism. what happened in iraq and what is happening in the pakistan is exacerbating this tension. there are other factors as well and all of them have to be addressed. i would not want to on the plan or saying what mark says they may be saying. living in that world that president assad is living in and thinking things are going right, just give us another month and we will figure this out. it is not going to get better. it is ge

the panelist have really given us a terrific overview of different perspectives on this and we are going to get to audience questions in just a few minutes. go ahead and fill out your carts and we'll get to you momentarily. let me start by opening the discussion. i want to start with you kenny dwight and ask about something eduardo vega that said that force is not treatment. that basically the key is to approach people with mental illness with love, kindness and compassion. i know from our editorial page that when we have written about laura's law that some of the post poignant arguments from family members that they have done everything they can do but don't know how to help a loved one. what would you have done? could force treatment made a difference? >> yes. absolutely. laura's law is not forced treatment. i don't know why mr. vega keeps using that word because laura's law is an upfront tool before somebody needs crisis. if they are proven to be a danger to themselves or someone else, a judge tries to get a treatment team and they try to talk with this person and figure out a way for

we have 17 of our wonderful panelists gathered here. but today let's turn ahead. here's one of the issues, probably the most persistent and intractable for our country ut some day soon, will americans' race or ethnic background be irrelevant? >> i don't know that it actually should be irrelevant. we always talk about race as if it is this awful, toxic thing. race and racism are very different. so racial background can be a part of who they are without being necessarily an impedestrianiment. i think we are seeing in this moment a redefinition of the race. for a long time when we thought about race it was a binary issue, black america and white america. now it is all kinds of things, multihued, multiethnic and racial identities ever always shifting. so when a kid grows up ats more likely that race will be an important part of their portfolio, background but not necessarily the thing that will hold them back. that's much more to do with class. chris: you know, growing up in philadelphia and being an african-american kid and going to independence hall and having your

our panelist are uniquely qualified to talk about two issues. confidence in the capital market and advancing opportunities for women in positions of corporate leadership. although more women are advanced degrees in the united states than men do and roughly equal number of women and men represent our workforce, few women have earned positions of corporate leadership in wall street. facebook coo cheryl sandberg's book "lean in" have returned this issue. women must advocate more fiercely for their own advancement. our next panelist, sally krawcheck and alexa von tobel have certainly learned this lesson as evidenced by many career successes. sally krawcheck, the former president of global wells and investment management for bank of america, is currently an industry commenter focusing on her passion. regulatory reform, the analysis of big banks. sally was the first president -- although working in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, sally led that unit to $3.1 billion in profits during her two years in that position. sally previously spe

before i answer the question, i want to thank all of the panelists. that was not meant to be hostile so much as to say, we all need to listen to one another. what he said about what happens when the camera is turned off, that is the most important work you're going to do. what happened to bobby? it is an interesting story. needless to say, i intervened and i was young and what i did not know intellectually, i made up for in energy. i intervened on the basis that he was a child that had been subjected to incredible abuse. he was very much a kid and the child welfare system. it happens too many violent youth. i intervened, and he was never prosecuted. he was 14 years old, he was put into what would be thought of now has a psychiatric facility. it was a child psychiatric facility. he underwent all kinds of treatment, training, came out, went back to school. it really went through recovery. and then graduated high school, went to community college, and i would like someone to guess what profession he wound up going into. law enforcement. he was not with t

we are going to throw some questions to these panelist and we'll have questions. just be nice and there is that mic. it's cord less. you can pull it out and move it around the crowd if you want to. yes. thanks again for coming. we'll take later. >> okay, panelist, recently for the second time senator mark, introduced last call at 4 a.m.. this would leave it to individual jurisdictions to determine whether or not they wanted to implement a 4 a.m. last call. the resolution did not make it through the committee. keeping in mind that other cities have late last calls and many foreign visitors are used to late hours. can you address the problem with last call as it relates to the problem with san francisco as it strives to compete with tourism. who would like to start? h? >> why don't you start. >> okay. having an international background and having lived in europe, i think it is paramount to the success if the future of san francisco's image that we attract a global community to come here and entertain themselves and we have a quality of nightlife here that should sup

i also encourage any of our panelists who have either a question for one of their fellow panelists or a comment on something that they've heard to signal that and we'll try to catch that fairly quickly. we have microphones. if you do want to ask a question, in your own voice, go to the microphone, identify yourself, if you would, and keep the question as brief as you possibly can so we can explore as many of the issues as we can. zane, let me reiterate my encouragement that you chiming in with questions and comments at any point. of course, if you have a question you want to write down on the green card in your pact, that's fine too, and we'll have it brought forward. let me start off by kind of tieing together some of the things that we've heard from several of our panelists, and it was triggered in my mind first when i looked at keith mueller's map of where the aco spread is in this country, and although you make the point that there are -- what, 17% of the rural counties have some sort of aco presence, okay, six out of seven do not, and they look like an awful lot of aco deserts in

the three panelists today, are distinguished panelists are marvin kalb, robert murray and david rifkin. i will introduce each one in order. if you gentlemen will keep your eye on me i will try to hold everybody in 10 or so minutes so we can have plenty of time for the distinguished audience. we'll begin with marvin kalb. marvin kalb is a guest scholar at brookings institution. a leading cbs and nbc journalist and commentator. author of a recent book, road to war. he is a senior fellow through the john f. kennedy school of government at harvard. he has a distinguished 30-year career as chief diplomatic correspondents with cbs and nbc and as moderator of "meet the press." he is the recipient of numerous awards. is a well-known distinguished scholar and commentator on this particular topic. marvin kalb. >> governor, thank you very much. i appreciate your setup for this discussion because you've touched a number of the points that i think deserve elaboration. and i want to start by simply thanking a number of people here at the national interest center. demitri signs and paul sanders, for

some of our panelists will address those. even though now we are in an environment where there is a republican majority in the house and a slimmer majority in the senate, please note that the leader and democrats are going fight hard to keep their agenda and restart our economy, and there will be more work to be done. i would like to hand over the podium to nicole rivera, who put this together. she will introduce the panelists and go over some logistics. i want to point out quickly that we are being recorded by san francisco government tv. the camera in front is only aimed at the podium. it is not taking shots of the audience, only the podium for people who want to ask questions. so do not worry, you are not on tv if you do not want to be. >> thank you for your patience. i am a representative with leader pelosi, and i'm thrilled to have you today to learn more of our best practices for accessing credit. it is a priority for our office. we are very well aware of how small businesses are running up against the wall right now in
