there is an unequal relationship between the u.s. and the rest of the world these days that seems to require the u.s. to make what a lot of sacrifices, and with some long distant date on china's carbon emissions, which people think that china is probably going to hit anyway. is the fear here that this is the way unfortunately the world is going? the united states and these -- in these relationships [indiscernible] >> first of all, china has never, until a month ago, agree to any constraints in any binding fashion on his carbon emissions. >> they are serious? >> they are quite serious. and if they are met, it will be a major contribution, along with ours, to curbing global emissions, giving us real momentum also going into the conference next year of the larger global turn -- climate change initiative. we are different countries of different sizes, different stages of development. china has never before made the kind of concrete and significant commitment that it made. and i would think that that is not a result of a lakh of american

it is a hell of a challenge in an unequal society to create unequal justice. how do you do it? >> it's difficult and it is, in a sense, a balancing act. one thing remains constant in my opinion and that is you treat people with respect. no matter what their circumstance may be, there's no excuse not to treat them with respect. certainly we have to be aware of all the different factors that people have to contend with in today's world. i agree with what others have said about what ferguson means but for police, it means fair and impartial policing. and we cannot allow ourselves to have two different sets of standards, one for those that can afford police services that perhaps don't find themselves in the same circumstance as others and then that for the poor. it has to be the same. fair and impartial. and that's really the source of the mistrust. people don't feel that they're fairly getting police service. >> so you wrote today about this horror of police killings. and i guess you can look at it two ways, one, police go into tough neighborhoods, people are shooting at them, the

treatment. 5% of white officers thought african-american minorities were given unequal treatment. it's interesting to see that difference in perception even among police officers. >> that's interesting. that definitely is. i don't know how they ran the survey. i don't know the questions they were asked. but i can't dispute it in any way. all i know is from my experience and what i've seen. there's some bad cops out there. of course there are. you know? >> it about racism or implicit bias tests are done and you can take the test online and just peoples' inherent instant gut level reactions when they see somebody of a different race, when they see somebody of their own race, do you think it is as clear cut as somebody's racist? >> well, i think that we often make the mistake of believing that racism is sort of a conscious decision. that there are police officers who get up everyday just with an insatiable appetite for the blood of young black men. i don't believe that. i believe most people want to believe they're good people. my dad was a cop for 25 years and i know a lot of cops w

cop is racist but it seems the escalation of the incidents may be a by-product of a system applied unequallynd with prejudice. because if it's not that, what is it? >> in this case, the police officer was dealing with a criminal who was resisting arrest. maybe if mr. brown hadn't committed his crimes and this gentleman hadn't resisted arrest, they wouldn't have been dead today. >> jon: yeah, or if they didn't choke him. you know, not everyone who resist ace rest -- you know, i think i can do. this your honor, may i approach? not that we were having a trial, obviously. that's what the grand jury was going to try to get done. but if it pleases the court, i would like to introduce that resisting arrest doesn't always lead to this thing h. here's evidence, exhibit a. >> get off me! get off! >> i didn't even know i was charged with that. >> get off! i'm a (bleep) good person! >> jon: you're telling me she was less of a menace to society at that time? she's straightened her life out and as i'm told here she's a (bleep) good person, but -- come on, people, won't anyone admit this is simptdmatic of

. 57% of african-american officers thought that african-americans and other minorities were given unequalatment, but only 5% of white police officers thought that african-americans were given unequal treatment. that discrepancy to me is very telling. >> i think it's very telling too. and i think it goes to the filters that we have when we see ourselves and what we do and why we do it. the fact is, we have ample evidence now with the proliferation of video tapes, cell phones and everything else for mainstream america to see how widespread this problem really is. >> you believe part of the problem is that police investigate police. they're investigated by their friends. their friends are the ones having to give the punishments, so they're essentially protected and immune to harsh punishments, even from prosecutors who have to work with them in the future. >> absolutely. i don't think that's hard to understand. is there any entity we trust to investigate itself when there could be punishment at the other end of the investigation if wrongdoing is found? we need an independent entity found to

really, it has been a long time since thing will -- since things were unequal. job?at is your full-time >> my full-time job as a news editor for townhall.com. >> two they pay you equally? -- do they pay you equally? >> yes. com?hat is townhall. >> we are a political website and we cover stories that people are interested in. we have a team of about 10 and we have expanded over the past couple years. >> you used to be owned by the heritage foundation. what can you tell us about your new owner, salem? >> they are a large company that on us. -- that bought us. atwere started in the 90's the heritage foundation and was turned into a for-profit is this when salem purchased it. it is a christian company and a online's of media outlet. -- and they own lots of media outlets. there are a lot of big radio hosts, and they have the website spectrum. now we have a publishing company, which published my first book. salem is a big media company and it has expanded from radio to online in the past couple years. >> one of the questions i have is that this book is published by thresho

think that america as a whole believes that women can do the same jobs as en and we are not created unequally in the opportunities we can pursue and work we can do. how is it somebody 26 has already written two books? guest: i turned 22 the first ummer i was here and i just really got my feet wet and dug in hard and said yes to a lot of and i have been blessed with a the love opportunities and politics is my passion. a lot since i have been here and covered presidential campaigns, covered scandals, covered lots of things going on inside the media and it a good time to be in d.c. to being a journalist, be a people nd i joke with about living in washington and orking with media because i feel like you are packing so much information into a day not year.tion a my favorite part is seeing history in the making. host: late summer your book came out "assault and flattery." you get the title? guest: it was a brainstorming with it.nd i came up after a long list of names and different title changes that the last one i came up with and that stuck. e had a couple other names before that but they were not

really, we have come a long way since things were unequal in the workplace. women are getting paid as much as men are, in the workforce. they are not being discriminated against based on the fact that they are female. >> what is your full-time job? >> my full-time job as a news editor for townhall.com. >> do they pay you equally? >> yes. >> what is townhall.com? >> townhall.com is a conservative media outlet. we have a columnist page that is filled out everyday. my role as editor is to make sure we cover stories that people are interested in. i have also done a lot of different work, including columns, reporting, and investigative work. we have a team of about 10 and we have expanded over the past couple years. our main focus is writing and reporting, and analysis. >> you used to be owned by the heritage foundation. what can you tell us about your new owner, salem communications? >> they are a large company that bought us. we were started in the 90's at the heritage foundation and was turned into a for-profit is this when salem purchased it. it is a christian

this from a twitter page saying our criminal justice system exposes unequal treatment and discriminatory laws and policing policies that we live with. our phone lines are open. on our facebook page, there is this. certainly that it doesn't help when his appointed leaders are playing the game as well. jackie says, no, the country is more divided than before. scott is saying it is like the 1960's all over again. and then he says, oh, hell no. not even close. the blacks are beating our children to death now. poll based on african-americans, who think that race relations have gotten worse since 2009. piece is available online at nationalreview.com. fewer saying that blacks and whites get along better today than they did in 2009. new according to a research ctr., poll. the number of respondents who and whites get s along pretty well increased sevepe

instead, electrical power, like postwar societies other benefits, was developed in a manner on even and unequal. inequalities that were brought up in new deal policies. the experience of postwar metropolitan growth has made the inequalities that exist beyond borders difficult to appreciate. michael harrington worried about the increasing isolation of suburbanites from urban poverty. he admitted that middle-class women coming in from suburbia on a trip may catch a glance of the other america on their way to the theater. urban inequality remained a specialized presence in the life of middle-class residents of the metropolis. a constant counterpoint and an imagined threat to their security. non-urban inequality has been different. with metropolitan america imagined as the engine of economic growth, it became easy to imagine that the economic struggles of those people living beyond metropolitan borders arose from the lack of integration. diagnosed as missing out on maternity, such understandings of under development missed -- the connections. these connections have been difficult to appreciate when

the fact that no one disputes this is a problem to the extent that san francisco remains the most unequal city in the country that inequality will not be addressed until women are paid fairly and until we make a step and do something this is an opportunity to do piling that to finally take alex action and the last thing i'll say we were very cautious in drafting this piece of legislation we actually create a period of time for all of the parties involved to work best method to implement this law we're talking about this law not being implemented until january 1st, 2016, that's a long period of time for us to figure out the best method to collect data at the end of the day the basic thrust of this legislation is simply collect data to require the reports be for the city that's not too much to ask i respectfully ask for your support. >> thank you supervisor tang. >> thank you first of all, i want to thank supervisor campos for making the implementation dates until january 2016 and, of course, for continuing the item for the three weeks to look at the legislation so i thank you for that i do

i do believe that system is separate and unequal.ariably, african-americans oftentimes are sentenced at a higher rate. they are, obviously, charged at a higher rate. arrested at a higher rate than others for similar crimes. you know, and so we have to -- it's not even -- i don't call it a system failure. we have to do a whole re-set of our justice system in america and start from scratch because it's not working for all people. >> and there are others who go a step further and say there's a different justice system for civilians as opposed to law enforcement. do you agree with that? >> well, i would certainly say it appears that there's immunity for impunity, they can do whatever they want according to their own personal discretion and take lives and so if they're hiding behind the cloak of any kind of bias, they can use that in making the decisions and judgments that they make and that's really unfortunate. and so again, you know, we need a serious rehaul of our justice system and finding a way that there's a separate system to deal

their relationship was unequal. she didn't demand he use a condom nor disclose his hiv status. older men pray on young women. >> they will tell you [ inaudible ] i have to pay a husband [ inaudible ]. this young women i think they are doing it because they need things, and in my community, i think we are so poor, so we rely on men. >> reporter: once the fight is over, the health-care worker reveals they are all hiv positive. they believe that involving young people in making the hiv awareness message entertaining is the most effective way of catching and holding their attention. that this is far better than a lecture in a school hall. this woman wrote it. the 25-year-old is also hiv positive. she is counseled to help her cope with stigmatization. and wishes healthcare workers were also better educated. >> they never gave me the counseling i need to make me strong enough to get the treatment. so it's difficult to take the treatment in the clinic as well, because i was like people are going to laugh at me. >> reporter: it's about far more than using condoms, as long as there's po

. >> reporter: there is data to back up the claims of unequal treatment.a 2012 national inconstitute on drug study found white high schoolers were more likely to use illegal drugs but black high schoolers were twice as likely to be arrested on drug charges. black drivers are twice as likely to be threatened with force than whites and hispanics. but a hash tag, however eye opening cannot right the wrong. >> the social media stuff won't be enough on its own. >> i hope the hash tag has a positive impact. >> reporter: christin ayers, kpix5. >>> a construction worker is okay tonight after getting stuck hundreds of feet in the air. she was on a hoist at a high- rise on santa clara and market street in downtown san jose. it got stuck on the 22 floor. you can get an idea of just how high up she was. the hoist is an elevator which is on the outside of the building since it is under construction. she never was in any real danger they say. she just couldn't get down at the time. and crews eventually were able to free her. >>> there was a gas leak at the same construc

should we defeat every enemy and double our wealth and conquer the stars, and still be unequal to this issue, then we will have failed as a people and a nation. for what does it profit, what does a nation profit if it should gain the whole world and lose its soul? at the end of the speech, your father used the theme song of the civil rights movement when he said, "and we shall overcome." i was sitting in the home of a local family in selma next to dr. martin luther king, jr., and vice president johnson, we listened to him. when he said, "and we shall overcome," i looked at dr. king. tears came down his face. he started crying and i cried, too. he said we will make it from selma to montgomery. the voting rights act will be passed. with these words a man you may feel is an unlikely prophet, the search for freedom is at the core of every conflict, it is the foundation of every great speech. it is written on the heart of every man. it calls from the depths of every woman's soul. i still believe no matter what the disappointment, the setbacks, or the interruptions, we as a nation and a peop

unconscious bias and the way, often the problem is not all out racist who perceive blacks as being unequal rather people with biases they are unaware of and translate into their hiring decisions and all kind of things. the feedback i got, i found dispiriting. i'm writing for "the new york times" with an open minded audien audience. there were so many people, who, in particular see young black men as kind of predators to be written off and didn't want to have this conversation. i think that it's, at the end of the day, you know, straight people have to talk about gay rights, men have to talk about gender and white people have to begin to try to erase some of these biases in the white community. within the white world, we talk about more personal responsibility in the black community. absolutely. we also need, though, more personal responsibility in the white community for the kind of structural inequities that exist in hiring and the criminal justice system all over. we have to have that conversation. >> does that suggest to you, then, that nothing good is going to come of ferguson, missour

perspective saying there is no place for weapons of war on american streets and that there is a reality of unequal treatment. >> each of us has to grapple with some hard truths about race and justice in america. because despite all the progress we've made together, african-americans most particularly african-american men, are still more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged with crimes and sentenced to longer prison terms. >> and cleveland, a scathing report released by the u.s. justice department about the city the police department. a 21-month investigation and now that it is closed this has been released. it found officers frequently used unnecessary force and the report states no more than 51 officers were disciplined over the use of force in 3 1/2 years. the justice department criticized the police department for poor recordkeeping and says inadequate training put the public at risk. attorney general eric holder says a court appointed monitor should be appointed to oversee reforms that will not occur overnight. this investigation was launched after a series of controversial pol

weather and that heavy weather collides with weak infrastructure, very segregated societies, very unequal societies, and we -- when i was covering katrina, i had the feeling of, this is a glimpse into the future if we don't change our course. so it is not just about the weather getting hotter, it is about building a society that is more brutal. >> rose: it is not so much you presenting new evidence about the threat of climate change, you are asking the question, why have we not responded? if we clearly understand the consequences? >> exactly. and in fact, you know, i really wanted to write a book about climate change for people who don't read books about chiement changes. my previous books have been about our economic system, our labor system and i really have e been struck that there is -- this issue which affects all of us which is an existential crisis for humanity, we leave it to this very small segment of environmentalists and say you deal with it, and really this is a human rights issue,. >> rose: political issue. economic development issue, an economic justice issue and yet we bare

because they realized that even though they benefited, in some sense, from this unequal system, they didn't believe that was the american system that they had grown up loving. and that's the same thing that's happening. >> do you agree with him on this? the fact that you can tame it, you can regulate it with laws, when you have a legislature like we have in albany and a governor who has no interest in diminishing his power, as larry says? >> yes, we can. again, that doesn't mean that it's easy or that it's simple or we know the exact route. i mean, i look at william jennings bryan. he never became president. >> great orator. great populist. >> and bryan ran for president again and again. he came out of a populist movement that had been demanding a change in the way that we do campaigns, down with monopolies, in the 1880s and the 1890s. maybe in 1894 or '95 they ould've just given up. because if you looked at the structures of power at that moment, you would say, i don't see a path. well, that's when i say we're at a moment like that, i think we have to call on the best parts of our a
