who serves with them.nd behind every american who lays down their life for our country is a family who mourns them, and honors them, for the rest of their lives. every day, for nearly 60 years, you have lived the poet's words: at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. and so i want to conclude today by inviting everyone to join me in welcoming henry's sister dorothy to the stage for the presentation of the medal. >> the president of the united [applause] >> the president of the united states, authorized by act of congress, march 3, 1863, has awarded, in the name of congress, the medal of honor to private first class henry svehla, united states army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity and the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. private first class henry svehla distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a rifleman with f company, 32nd infantry regiment, 7th infantry division, in connection w

who was? >> let me tell you, a guy who created s.e.a.l. team six, probably the toughest guy in the world, he probably eats nails for breakfast. coming up, did u.s. forces violate international law when they killed an unarmed bin laden? a debate on american assassination when we return. st: uld switching to geico reallyavyou 15% or more on car insurance? host: is the pen mightier than the sword? ninja 2: ow vogeico. 15 minutes uld save you 15% or more on car insurance. >>> new information from pakistan about what u.s. officials found in osama bin laden's compound. bin laden cass carrying 500 euros. not sure that would have gotten him very far. and he also had two phone numbers sewn into his clothing. no doubt, those numbers have been called by now. in addition, there were about five cell phones and five guns including pistols and ak-47s. here with more about the location of the compound, tom foreman at the data wall in our d.c. bureau. >> it's interesting to look at these new images. we made a big fuss about the notion that islamabad is dow

i'm also curious, it wasn't just gingrich who was making news this week, who was changing the fabric of this whole campaign. what was happening with the republicans and the democrats in raising money, including on this issue, hand over fist? >> absolutely. at least the money part has finally been launched. mitt romney did it with an event down in vegas where he brought in all of his very wealthy donors and brought them in with their rolodexes so they could call their friends and bring money in. he did this two years ago at the beginning of the presidential campaign. this is how he opened his campaign in the last cycle. and in that case he was in boston, he raised about $5 million. well he doubled it this year. in vegas in one day they got commitments and pledges for $10 million. this is probably more than most of these other republican candidates are going to raise in the quarter. and so it sent a very strong signal, not just to his opponents about his strength, but any sunsetters, this is a shot across the bow to mitch daniels, it's basically, bring it on. so that was a really impor

who crowned him king? who showed him our garden was but a jail? humbaba was great and scary, but not so very strong, though no one could ever conquer him as no one would ever try. time and again, when things grew old, humbaba alone believed himself eternal and young, still powerful, able to defeat all. humbaba didn't want to know one fact: that accumulation will lead to eruptive change. but, sadly, when suddenly he realized it after all, he chose to check its power on all, the tall. he crushed all the shrubs and plants leaving them creeping and broken all over. he damaged the flowers and colors, the flowers withered, their leaves all burned and soon they were throwing their seeds every which way and when the whole orchard changed into a dry, gray waste, humbaba, his mind like stone, shouted his horrible cry of fire and burned all that gray and yellow, birds of all kinds were flying away with ashes in their beaks which humbaba couldn't oversee any more or ever set on fire. then, grandfather ended his day and continued closing his big thick yellow b

are what can really change that who has the power to do it who has the force to do it and you know who would be interested in changing that will voters obviously have the ability to make those changes they have to have the ability to not choose politicians who are beholden to wall street theoretically but the problem is wall street heavily sponsors both the republican and the democratic parties so automatically no matter who becomes the front running candidate for the presidency is going to be a creature of wall street that look at barack obama personally admired or on during his campaign of two thousand and eight but if you look at his his his record goldman sachs was his number one private campaign contributor what about a third party is you know is that even an option or is that never going to happen in this country. no seriously i don't see it becoming a major having a major impact i think you might see the occasional politician who is who is really not part of that world not run so you know if people are obviously understanding at this point that democrats and republicans are diff

some of the submissions come from people who are raising children who don't look like them. or who have grandchildren who represent a rainbow or, you know, come from a sort of wider diaspo diaspora. and i try to set aside time if i actually have information and how to reach someone, i will usually call them to find out the bigger story behind those six words. and as a result i wind up learning, you know, a lot more about how people continue to wrestle with these issues. >> and i also just might add, 'cause i've forgotten your first question which was -- >> the census. >> oh, the census if you have time to read one other book besides ours. the most interesting part of the census so far to me has been the reverse migration which is going on -- the number of people who are living -- leaving big cities which were destination spots for the great migration in the '30s, '40s, '50s and heading back to the south. the person who wrote really an amazing and definitive story about that is another friend of ours isabelle wilkerson who used to work at the "new york times" and it's called

there, the man who inducted him into the college of cardinals, the man who paved the way for his election of pope, benedict xvi. >> our senior vatican analyst and john bitterman are with us today. john, we are going to see an extraordinary thing, but the pictures already speak vol. the volume speaks volumes. this is an enormous celebration of john paul's memory, isn't it? >> yeah, that's right, john. i mean, this is -- on one level, this is a holy rite. it's the declaration of a new rite. but at another level, you can think of this almost like a high school pep rally on steroids. this is a massive celebration of a figure who, of course, in addition to being the pope of the catholic church is ultimately a loving and holy man all around the world. and what you've been seeing today is one of those massive rivers of humanity that john paul always seems to generate. we're expecting more than a million people. in addition, there are something like five or six royal families represented here today, 16 heads of state, official delegation. this is going to be a remarkable day in a city, of course,

who are media matters? >> guest: oh, media matters is a george funded, john pedesta led organization that isolates conservative media, it isolates fox news, andrew breitbart and all of his websites, spends millions of dollars a year transcribing channel 360 on fox news, analyzes every single person that writes on my sites, issues press releases saying ignore this man. ignore this man. ignore this man. >> host: you should be honored. it sells you your sees -- tells you your success. >> guest: if you follow me on twitter, you will see one man who has chosen to obsess on to draw attention to media matters and what they are doing and how evil it is, and i'm having the time of my life. >> host: just like when acorn decided to sue you. >> guest: bring it on. bring it on. bring it on. i liking the fight. i'm not sure if you can tell. >> host: i must tell you. i really wish you well. i really want to encourage people to go out and buy andrew breitbart's book. it is right righteous indignation, suspect -- isn't it?

but it's hard to know who receives the money and in this case you know who the owner is someone from the government or. just. especially. because this is the area which was. taken by people in the us or some other people from coming in the poor people who are to escape from the cd. and the same in this case that make this all just. push this man who was one of the very first to inform on the ship or situation a member of parliament was waging a war against corruption. just by a little nationalist is a gandhi like character modest and extremely popular some call him a populist in terms of number of votes he's number three in the country today he's going to create quite a stir in parliament. indeed winter is here and with it comes famine and extreme urgency as he has just discovered the food aid hasn't reached the villages yet. but i took. it all so much. because it was sort of my protest that's for the same reasons as last year are going to be remembered i was expelled asked you to stop it if i'm not mistaken the money you asked for last year has not been cleared by the budget all of

why can't the family members of those who have a loved one who's missing go into the morgue and see if the person who's still listed as missing is, in fact, in the morgue? as we all know, that unfortunate story where he ended up being in the morgue whole time while his family was searching for him. why can't we just let those families in? >> well, the situation that we had early on is we had some family members that made identification on an individual, let's say, start off with, and they got into the mortuary, got him involved, got him dressed, and when they went back, it was not their son. so the jasper county coroner, rob chapel, clamped it down at that time, and that's when demort came in, and they were many the process of setting up to make positive identifications. and that's what's taken the time. >> look, i certainly give you every bit of credit for doing everything you think you possibly can, but i guess the fact that one or two errors were made doesn't mean that you don't want family members to go in at all, even if what you get is a tentative or a nondefinitive identificatio

but for every one of those individuals who commit suicide, there's a whole bunch of folks who will never, ever consider committing suicide who are hurting. that's why i think it is absolutely essential that we study and learn everything we can about the brain. now, no one is in fact criticizing us for the way we're taking care of soldiers who have lost arms and legs. i can't find a single article, no one ever e-mails me about that. but the fact is, we just don't know as much as we need to know about the brain. and the effects that are causing the brain for these long deployments and for these repetitive deployments and for the experiences that soldiers have down in theater. >> and so when you look at something like ptsd, i've read in several of the articles that you said you just don't have enough psychiatrists and you don't have enough folks who are suffering who want to come and talk, because of the stigma to it. so first, let me ask you, why are there not enough psychiatrists in the army? why are there not enough psychiatrists available to the army? >> that's a national problem and yo

they call anybody who's interested in -- who's white -- who's interested in or supporting the civil rights struggles of southern blacks, they are often called white negroes. southern sheriffs yell that at white activists, those kinds of end at the times -- end at the times are used, writings to folk sinks like pete seager get hate mail calling him a white negro, white nigger, so i use that phrase to describe white, mostly middle class folks, who take up an interest in black politics moving through the folk music revival and into support for -- some of them -- into support for civil rights organizing. >> host: if we're a nation of outsiders, who are the insiders? >> guest: i think those would be the ultimate outsiders today, wouldn't they? the people who actually claim the center would, perhaps, are not a very large crowd but would, perhaps b the ultimate outsiders if you think about it since it's so popular. but i think that we are really a nation that thinks about difference these days. i mean, i think that's one of the things that row plantization of outsiders helped to change. in the mi

gives the orders and the worker who takes them the capitalist who gets the output and the worker who has to go home without it when you break that model it turns out wonderful things can be done that last a long time many of the mondragon workers are now the children of the first generation of mondragón workers and it's a demonstration and there are many of them around the world of what is possible when you think outside the capitalist framework when you say look if capitalism can't provide work for people there are other systems that can and that maybe ought to be looked to to deal with that kind of problem i think it's a lesson for the united states as well i'll tell you it was a almost a culture shock experience in you know having been in business most of my life in this country as i guess a capitals as the owner of businesses we were everywhere all the conversation was in basque are in spanish mostly in basque and we were watching an assembly line where they were much making washing machines and this guy comes along in a suit with a clipboard and stops the somebody line and four

families who love them. those who have gone missing under our country's flag or held as prisoners of war, by serving our patriots as well as they serve us from the moment they enter the military to the moment they leave it, to the moment they are laid to rest. that is how we can honor the sacrifice of those we lost. that is our obligation to american guardians. they are guardians like travis nimean, the son of a marine. he aspired to follow in his father's footsteps and was accepted by the uss naval academy. his roommate at the academy was a star athlete and born leader from a military family just like travis. the two quickly became best friends, like brothers. after graduation, they deployed at. travis went to iraq brendan to korea. on april 29, 2007, travis was killed by sniper. ndan kept going. he dedicated his sealed train to the friend he met. he married the woman he loved and his tour in korea, he deployed to afghanistan. on september 21 of last year, brenda in his own life along with eight others in a

he is someone who knows our streets. he has walked the walk, walked the beats, who has helped the captain some of the most difficult police stations to manage public safety in the city. and he is someone who we you will feel confident will be able to bring the san francisco police department through the reforms that the previous chiefs, in whose shoes he is filling have had to bring forth. i know i look forward to working with him on the budget. we also know that the chief is someone who is going to ensure that the san francisco police department continues to be one of the very best police departments in the entire country. congratulations, we look forward to working with you. >> the police chief, as all of you know, is not just about policing. it is being part of a whole justice system. here to acknowledge her support and presence is our presiding judge, katherine feinstein. thank you for being here, judge feinstein. >> i would like to echo all of the comments that have come before about what a fine police officer greg

ministers who came in. this you can think in this latest model caused him to think this came with security guards appear they're on edge but what is the problem this is a middle of the street it's a public space why don't you want us to film explain to this is ours this is a street this is public this is nude i'm sorry this is this is trade says public this houses don't own the street you know we're regular journalists we doing our job we're in the middle of the street i'm sorry i'm not doing anything wrong tell them to shut the camera down because the journalists want to show that there are rich people also in kabul ok ok ok if you. don't film the house. most of the people are just a building very interesting many houses and they're getting it in because it is really high note in google. go in europe all much as say this this is. the. twenty thousand euro as though it was. but it's hard to know who receives the money but in this case you know who the owner is is someone from the government or. just. especi

>> who are we trying to not make -- who are we trying to get to love us?of his national security -- >> sean: think through this, 40 minute funeral, james? cleaning the body. translated into arabic, wraps him in a shroud. 40 minutes for a murderer, terrorist, low life! >> we also put bullets in his head and dumped him in the ocean. i call it an effort perhaps not to inflame things. >> sean: inflame who? >> inflame people who -- >> sean: inflame people who think that bin laden? >> might be tempted to think like bin laden. i'm not upset by this funeral thing. i am bothered by the spiking the football comment i'm sympathetic to the argument for not releasing the photos. i think saying we don't spike the football was a crass thing to say. as my colleague wrote this isn't about pride it is about proof. people are asking a lot of questions. the president may be doing the right thing but he should have respect for people who see it differently. >> at some point we have to stop caring about homicidal maniacs might think about what we do. remember this cartoonist wh

who lives far. my lover who lives far away opens the door to my room and offers supper. in a bowl made of his breath. the stew has boiled and i wonder at the cat born from it's steam. the cat is in the bedroom now. muling. the cat is indecent and i whom trying to be tidy, i whom trying to do things the purpose way, i who am sick from the shedding. i, am undone. my lover who lives far away opens the door to my room and offers pastry in a basket spun from his vision. it is closely woven. the kind of container some women collect. i have seen these in many colors but the basket he brings is simple. only black. only nude. the basket he brings is full of sweet burdens and i eat even the crumbs. as am i have not dined for days. my lover who lives far away opens the door to my room and offers tea made from the liquid he's crying. i do not want my lover crying and i am sorry i ever asked for tea. my lover, who lives far away opens the door to my room pretending he never cried. he offers tea and cold cakes. the tea is delicious. spiced like the start of our courtship. honeyed and

marxist who came here who fled nazi germany and mussolini's italy who came to southern california athe height of the golden age and these men were depressed because what they saw was frivolity and consumerism and their desire to create a serious utopia, an economic utopia were hindered and hampered by what they saw was shallow consumerism. and they devised of a political cultural marxist pathway that wasn't aiming straight at the politics but was aiming at the culture and they told their minions go to the college campus, go to hollywood. they took over hollywood and they took over the mainstream media. and they devised a false pretense called objective journalism. they're not objective journalists because if you talked with journalists over a cocktail in washington or in new york city, you get down to the nitty-gritty of why these people got into journalism in the first place. and there are two answers they'll give you. social justice economic equality. their motivations were the civil rights movement. and so liberal white journalists are absolutely invested in the 1960s urban league

i proudly call a friend, who loves the city, who knows the city, and every part of it, every part of its operation. and who has brought peace and calm to the city, to city hall in the past few months he has been chief of the city. ladies and gentlemen, my dear friend, please join me in welcoming the 43rd mayor of city and county of san francisco, mr. edwin lee. [applause] mayor lee: thank you. thank you very much. welcome to the people's hall in san francisco. i want to first of all say -- i have always wanted to say this. the commissioner is such a wonderful person, and she has been our commissioner on immigrant rights commission, but you could see her when we walked in. she was hustling around getting everybody settled, doing what we needed to do to have a successful event, but she has been a wonderful adviser to me for so many years and a great asset to the city. i want to give you a round of a free shares applause. -- appreciative applause. thank you so much. it is my personal pleasure to welcome all of you here to celebrate nowruz. this has been something that supervisor mirkari

>> mary was a young woman from pennsylvania who decided she wasn't just going to be a woman who paints but she was going to be a painter. that's her self-portrait, a beautiful water color self- portrait, and she became the only american artist who was accepted by and taken in by the impressionists as one of them in paris. and her painting -- this is a painting of her mother is called "reading with figure row," the number. first of her impressionists paintings and her paintings are largely, almost entirely about women. women seen in private life, the security of the home or the garden, doing private things, knitting, reading, having tea. and their hold on the viewer has been consistent for well over 100 years and her importance as a master, as a genius of american art, only increases with time. she was a brave woman. so she went to europe, went pursuing a career seriously as no woman ever had. another american woman. and bound to excel. and she certainly did. and starting much of her life to look after her parents, with whom she lived in paris most of her adult life. excuse me. >> which

so you want people who are intelligent, who can be creative, who can adapt on the site of an attack in order to achieve success. >> so you roll up on this courtyard, a target like this. the s.e.a.l.s have practiced over and over. you come in on blackhawk helicopters into the courtyard. you've got to go in blasting. everybody's -- everybody's involved. you know you may suffer losses. you know you may lose an aircraft, as they did. but all the training comes to fruition. >> all of that training comes to fruition. it's years that are spent training so that in the moment you know how to react. these are great teams that have planned together so that no matter what the contingency is they know how to react to achieve the mission. >> now, people might be hearing about s.e.a.l. team 6. i happen to have the great honor of flying into baghdad with them at the start of the war. what is s.e.a.l. team 6 as opposed to all the other teams, and why are we hearing about them? >> you know, there are certain units that we probably don't talk about just because they have different kinds of designators. b

the only people who speak the truth are children and people who have had too much to drink. that's called wisdom. you think about it. i am going to share one more thing. i will speak briefly on the concepts of that. if i asked you right now, ladies and gentlemen, how many of you would have considered yourself at risk? could you raise your hands. and there was probably a lot of pain with that, huh. in the book i wrote. i interviewed 60 role models and all of them were at risk astronauts. it made us who we are. i have scars. i have a doctorate, but also scars. wisdom comes from making mistakes. i have made a lot of mistakes ladies and gentlemen. i am going to speak about collaboration. i am going to talk about the role of expectations. i will speak to the value of hope. because when you're in an ugly situation. hope means so much. it's a global concept. in the research i do with resilience of children. close your eyes. bear with me. go ahead and hope them. i am not going to take you through a visiblization. i charge for that. some of you did not close your eyes. you looked at

[laughter] again, there were teachers and can other adults who reached out and who helped. i went on to harvard college, the first in my family to go to college, to harvard law school. i've lived in chicago, in boston, in los angeles, in new york, here in d.c., in atlanta, in the sudan. i've done business all oh the world -- all over the world. i've had some remarkable experiences, improbable ones in the eyes of many. i've argued in the supreme court, i've hitchhiked from cairo to khartoum, i've counseled two presidents. i've served as the first black governor of massachusetts on my first time running for office. but as i reflect on each of these experiences, each has its roots in the lessons that i try to write about in this book. these lessons have given me a sense of the possible, and that has made all the difference. i write in the book about the transition from the south side of chicago to milton academy, about the experience of trying to bridge these very different worlds where each one seemed to demand that you reject the other as the price of acceptance in the one.

i know who did it, how and why. and by god, when i write that book, i'm going to make sure justice is served. i think that's why people keep coming back to lawyer books in particular because there's a lot of drama in the courtroom. there's always a murder. there's always big stakes. i've written books about death penalty cases. the stakes don't get any bigger than that. and i think it was important to me to have the center of my books a defense attorney who is the kind of guy, the tony serra's of the world, the person you would call if you got into serious trouble. and there are a lot of corrupt lawyers in my books. there are a lot of nasty people in my books. there are a lot of lawyers who are not portrayed in a particularly favorable way. but the centers of my story are two small time criminal defense attorneys who work on michigan street. and if you get accused of a crime, those are the people you want to call. >> that's my approach. and they're both former public defenders, right? >> yes, they are. they are both

who did know about this? who did authorize this? and when did they authorize it? >> again, that is part of what the inspector general will be looking at, who exactly was involved, what the level of knowledge was, who should be held accountable, if in fact there were mistakes that were made. that's what the evinspector general will be looking at. >> is it your intention to not comply with our subpoena because the inspector general is doing that? or do you believe -- that is, are you precluded from complying with the subpoena because the ig is looking into it or can you do both simultaneously? >> we can do both simultaneously. what i've asked with regard to the subpoenas that we try to minimize the impact on the ongoing cases. it's not the inspector general report. we've tried to come up with ways we'll make information available to the committee in a timely fashion and not harm those ongoing investigations. >> the atf office involved in this was evidently the phoenix office. are there any other atf offices that you're aware of that may have been involved or engaged

who steps down to the presidency? this is astounding. i mean, the office of president of the united states is beneath barack obama? he lowered himself to take this job? floated down off of mount obump -- olympus? wait a minute. mount alump us is in washington. he floated down off of kilimanjaro to take this job? and the third nominee -- when i was a judge, this is the guy i voted for. i don't know how it's going to turn out. but we're sorry that evan thomas couldn't be with us tonight. he's busy lighting candles and beating drums in kenya for the messiah. this guy. evan thomas. i'll never forget this one. in this pretend "newsweek" magazine, which has been bought out by larry flint, by the way. yeah. eben thomas says he grabbed the party's power brockers by their elephant stitched -- whatever. he's a c thrvings nn contradictory appearing most nights -- wait a minute. i jumped ahead of the script. that's ok. i want you and they're going to get upset with me because i'm not reading the exact words that bring on the clip

is an american yemeny who is hiding out in the boonies of yemen who publishes or helps to publish ae called "inspire" in cloak -- colloquial english, and who has called on americans using, you know, appropriate selective portions of the koran et cetera to conduct jihad in america. he's a very potent and lethal fellow. there are also important cells in africa. al qaeda in the magrab. just friday the germans arrested four al qaeda members intending to attack in germany. let's think a different kind of threat. a more loose threat and let's think also opportunistic terror cells from other organizations that can attach and we still have a big problem here. >> when you were on the intelligence committee, did you get a sense of just how cold the trail was in terms of trying to catch osama bin laden? we heard the president just saying this is in 2002 saying, if he's alive at all, saying who knows if he's hiding in a cave or not. if he's alive at all. did you reach the point in the intelligence committee where you just didn't know if he was alive? >> the assumption was that he was alive. we

then he made friends with a german who had a big hunk of sausage. the swedes shared the cheese with the german, and the german shared the sausage with the sweed. growing up, i came to know america as two places, a repatience country built on the destruction of the original inhas been tans, and a welcoming land of opportunity and generosity built by people who shared their sausage and their choose. [laughter] in 1899, the british poet published the poem the white man's burden about the new american empire of island colonies of new peoples. four years earlier when he visited washington, d.c. for the first time, he met theodore roosevelt. roosevelt dragged him to the smithsonian to show off glass cases full of american indian art facts. he later wrote, i never got over the wonder of a people having driving their originals honestly believe they were a godly little new england community setting examples to brutal mankind. of the five countries the united states invaded and or acquired in 1898, hawaii is the only one that became a state. that said, i have

and there are anarchists who are socialists, who are communists, who are pacifists and they maintainolution. one of the most prominent solutions advanced by so-called anacrh libertarians or capitalists is what i like to call a mobile government, government that moves from one region to the other. takes on the task of settling disputes and then moves on. i don't think it's really a workable system. i've written on it on and off. some of my writing is a little bit speculative about this. i think that regional integrity is necessary for a functioning legal system. so since i don't see this regional integrity evident under any of the anacho libertarian principles i've encountered going all the way back to benjamin tucker and josiah warren and to mary rothbard and to roderick log, my coeditor of the book, which is called "is government part of a free society" also from ashgate, i think it's an idea that needs to be explored, not categorically rejected. it's an idea for political philosophers to chew over. i don't have a quick answer but i am very skeptical that you can combine sound defen

i wonder who? on the day of march 1st in the 5th year after the second millennium, a massacre took place in babylon. it's my pleasure it introduce the next poet, george evans. . >> first, i would like to read a poem by my dear friend and wife, daisy samora, who was to be here today but is in nicaragua, keeping in mind what michael said about jorge and casablanca, i will read it in her language or my spanish first, then in translation. it's a poem directly addressed to poets but certainly to activists as well. (speaking spanish) no man's land. we are a mine field of clarity and whoever crosses the barbed wire comes back to life. but who is interested in crawling through undergrowth? who dares sail a tempest? who wants to come face to face with purity? that's why we're fenced off in this no man's land under permanent cross fire. three bomb holes. flag study. red. she walks into the bright vegetable garden, chopped water to life from brittle landscape, leans her hoe against goat wire, admires shoots b

stays and who goes? old prisoners, new prisoners? >> the state has a lot of options. one of the first they'll use is transfer more inmates out of state. they started to do that. they sent 10,000 inmates out of state. they're going to look for far less drastic options to start with. send them out of state. then they're looking at a plan that the legislature enacted where they want to shift low-level offenders, nonviolent, lower-risk offenders to counties and have the counties take care of them. of course, that is a little controversial because the counties are saying, our jails are full, we don't have room, we don't have staff, give us money. the legislature enacted a plan but they haven't enacted the funding yet so big question marks over that. >> say they have to let some numbers of these people out, just the economic prospects that those people face once they're on the street job-wide has to be pretty grim. >> for ex-convicts to get a job, in this economy it's going to be even harder. >> there is a pol

>> who knows? i think it's more likely they will change it positively if i give them a picture. >>> you know who they are when they ask you. >> absolutely. >> you know how they voted. >> usually. >> i love that. >> yeah. yeah. >> do you feel like you're winning when that you have moment? >> a little bit. it is kind of nice when people -- yeah, when people believe so strongly against you yet they want proof that they met you. it's kind of awesome. >> you've obviously become this, as i say, iconic figure. do you feel that america is fast becoming much less homophobic, or do you feel as gay rights become much more prominent and successes are being achieved in a funny way it's becoming -- it's more homophobic as they try and resisz this change? >> you know, i don't know, because i know that i surround myself with positivity towards the situation and not negativity, but i certainly hope so and i certainly have witnessed first hand the progress that's been made and some progress that myself and the show
