if so please come forward to the lectern and public comment will be for two minutes. >> [ inaudible ] >> hi my name is chris fallis and i live in the western edition and kind of a dilapidated building, the kind of building that would be really atractive to a developer who wishes to convert to a tic or condo and the history of the west is of massive evictions, and i feel like i'm in the group that might be getting replaced now. and i would like to stay as a worker in san francisco. i would like to be able to continue renting in the building that i live or another building somewhere in the city that is is affordable to me. >> thank you. >> my name is kristen henry and i have lived as a renter for 12 years and owner for the past three years and i support this plan because as a owner of a tic we face high interest rates. my interest rate is 7%, given the current market of 3.5% you can see that is really high. i have a pre-payment penalty, so i can't refinance my property to get the current interest rates and even if i could, there are only two banks it that will give you money. i have two

and he too took the lectern to advise the association to stop listing being gay as a mental illness. but he had to disguise himself in order to do to keep his job. so he wore a mask and a wig and a big baggy tuxedo jacket. and he described himself as dr. anonymous. that was 1972. the distance between then in our country and now in our country seems like a million years. and like we have come a million miles. but we are still fighting over many of the same things. only this time the political inertia, the weight of who is on each side of the v, who is on side of the argument in a lot of cases is reversed, with veterans organizations and many former senior military figures, and more than 200 major corporations and dozens senior republican figures including former governors and former cabinet officers, and with the administration itself all weighing in on the pro-gay rights side in the forthcoming civil rights cases later this month. here is the big question. does the supreme court care? when there are big social shifts in the perception of what is just in our country, how does that wei

it's frank camany, who is standing at the lectern there who is at the american psychiatric association. he is making the case that they should stop saying homosexuality is a mental disorder. but look at the guy sitting next to him. crazy, right? he is wearing a mask with an attached wig. that man was himself a psychiatrist, a member of the american psychiatric association. and he too took the lectern to advise the association to stop listing being gay as a mental ills illness. but he had to disguise himself in order to do to keep his job. so he wore a mask and a wig and a big baggy tuxedo jacket. and he described himself as dr. anonymous. that was 1972. the distance between then in our country and now in our country seems like a million years. and like we have come a million miles. but we are still fighting over many of the same things. only this time the political inertia, the weight of who is on each side of the v, who is on side of the argument in a lot of cases is reversed, with veterans organizations and many former senior military figures, and more than 200 major corporations and

the man we just saw there at the lectern, just asked groups to be seated, known as pastor renee. we have people in our newsroom who say, boy, if you live in santa cruz, you know pastor renee. and even if you don't attend his church. so again, that was pastor renee, asking everyone to go ahead and be seated. what we see here is the vehicle that carried governor jerry brown to the arena. >> just got out a second ago, and walked in. >> couple minutes late, but he'll be ushered in very quickly and i believe the service will start now that the governor is here. he came down from oakland, where the procession made its way up from santa cruz. it took hours, a two-mile long procession. now all is quiet inside and outside the hp pavillion. inside here, as we've been showing you pictures for the past couple of minutes, hands folded, heads bowed in respect. it's obviously very dark inside and we can't hear a word. we haven't taken down the sound for you. it is that quiet inside the hp pavillion. think about that, with thousands of people there, and as loud as raucous as the place can someti

. >> reporter: standing at the lectern that president george w. bush used the day before hugo chavez sniffed the air and made it personal, accusing the american leader of talking as if he were the owner of the world. when an earthquake rocked haiti, chavez claimed it was the result of u.s. weapons testing, an excuse to send american troops into the country. chavez, of course, had humanitarian aid programs of his own. when cash-strapped americans were shivering in the winter cold, chavez volunteered venezuelan oil to heat homes in the bronx for free. local politicians and local media turned out, too. chavez was never afraid to wield his oil wealth against his foes or he'd use it to win friends and influence his neighbors. he once rewarded his 3 millionth twitter follower with a new home. she was thrilled. so what if, as his critics say, the other 2,999,000 didn't get a thing. in the end he even suggested his cancer could be the result of an american conspiracy. he quoted fidel castro's warnings to be careful what he ate and watch out for small needl

. >> i had a seat to the stage next to the lectern where he was speaking and i literally 3w089ed at thatrated iraq can be a great nation once again. >> vice president cheney's speech to the veterans of foreign wars is the opening salvo of the bush administration's effort to sell to the american people what white house insiders call "the product." >> thank you very much. >> it was a shock. it was a total shock. i couldn't believe the vice president was saying this. and doing work for the cia on iraq wmd through all of the briefings i heard at langley, i never saw one piece of credible evidence that there was an ongoing program. that's when i began to believe, they're getting serious about this. they want to go into iraq. >> two weeks after the speech, cheney again makes his case on national television. >> what we know is bits and pieces we gather through the intelligence system, what we do know, absolutely certainty, that he is using his procurements to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon. >> saddam and nukes. absolutely certainty. a terrify

there will be a short break and paul clement will come back to the lectern and argue the merits of the case in the house. >> host: so, how does yesterday's argument on composition eight impact or reflect on today's arguments on the defense of marriage act? >> guest: just to remind people what happened yesterday it was a challenge to california's proposition 8 which says that only, marriage should be reserved for just a man and a woman. and the courts in that case would uphold california's law or make it riders to the nation. the signals were very clear yesterday. the justices didn't want to go anywhere near any kind of natural rule for same-sex marriage one way or another and they were almost looking for an offramp to say we are not going to argue the merits of this. having seen that resistance in that half when he case the other day i think we will similarly see no suggestion that they want to rule broadly. this is actually a narrower question for them today. first of all all of the lower courts who have looked at this provision of george doma that restricts federal benefits to opposi
