and that the person who is at risk is anybody in the community. so from a prevention point of view, you understand that and from a recovery oriented point of view, it's not just the individual who is the beneficiary, that individual's family is very important. especially when you're dealing with racial and ethnic groups, family becomes very important. so the family benefits and then the community as a whole, as william was pointing out, the community not only contributes to the recovery of the individual who has the alcohol and drug problem, but the community benefits from that because with regard to the substance use, that person who is now in recovery can give back. it can function as a role model for young people, young adults, adolescents who are struggling with alcohol and drugs and the pressure to use alcohol or drugs. and that person is able to give back and then rallies around. so the cultural dynamic is very, very important. so recovery as a cultural motif is- i like the whole notion of the recovery ecosystem, the recovery-oriented enviro

have a pre-existing illness, who is going to care? if democrats don't care about small businesses who cannot afford health care, who is going to care? if democrats are not the ones caring about the cost of college, who is going to care? we do care. that is one of the great things about being a democrat, a we should be very proud of that approach worked president. in that battle between focusing on the future and the other party fighting the battles of the past, we are wrong to see more of this over the next two years and it will make it easier to make that choice plane to the american people. but the time when our next together, the reelection will be up and running and will likely begin in the second quarter of the year. the president has announced in an unusual way, the reelection will not be in the washington d.c. area. he said it worked in chicago the first time, let me go back, get outside of some of the beltway machinations that can take your eye off the ball. the re-election is going to start up and i know will all be deeply eng

it is my honor today to honor two amazing people who have been doing tremendous work in the community. i know that what is amazing about these kinds of presentations is that you get to see the tremendous talent that the city and county of san francisco has. not only in one district but throughout the 11 districts, and it is my honor to recognize the work of two individuals -- steve williams and felicia -- and alicia garza, and i know that steve could not be here -- [applause] let me say a little bit about both of them. they truly are in great company. alicia is someone who has been co-director of the people organized to implement women's rights power which is an organization that builds to people by bringing the boys, strategy, and vision of low- income communities of color to the forefront. she is someone who in her role in the movement for racial and economic justice has truly made a difference. she has always provided dependable, incisive, appropriate, and helpful contributions to whatever she decides to work on, and this certificate of honor, we recognize her for making progressiv

this is going to enhance the people who were already in his camp. >> are we agreed that this won't win him any votes? >> well, -- all right. danielle first. >> well, i think the reality is here that it will help his base, it will solidify the base but more in line with the right thing to do. doj resources the fact that you are wasting time defining marriage denying people benefits, i did not see that as an important issue something that the doj needs to be doing that the department can be focusing on. >> and it was easier because the military said we need to repeal don't ask don't tell. >> this is not about don't sk. and part of the reasoning in don't ask don't tell this was not going to cause military benefits to go up because we have doma on the books. his people said that and two weeks later they said we don't support doma. and president obama if he wants to do this ought to go back to the senate where we pass our laws in the housed and the senate in the congress presidents don't get to pass laws. his job is to uphold the laws passed by the congress. you know, but the fact is the co

who does that, unless it is here? and people who voted for ronald reagan felt it, that the man was speaking from here and that is what we need to get back to. people who speak from here, not through the latest polling but from here. >> host: michael reagan thank you for wonderful new book on the 100th andrew -- anniversary of your father's birth, "the new reagan revolution." guest:thank you. >> coming up, anthony abyei philosophy -- argues more revolutions from the demise of tools to solve personal arguments in britain to the end of foot landing in china.

my mother, who is 84, cannot grab a doorknob. the code says you should not be providing hardware that needs to be tightly grasped, turned or pinched. so this is good. lever hardware is good because you can hit it and move it and pull it or push it. this kind we see here, this loop hardware, is extremely good for that. the reason this is not compliant, anybody know? it's in the state fire code. it's not in the building code. it says the levers have to return to close to the face of the door so that you don't, as you are walking out, you don't get caught on the doorknobs by the lever sticking out. this was $29.95.ñr is this considered readily achievable in a building? i would say yes, of course. 30 bucks, change your doorknob to a lever hardware, one that's actually complying with the fire code, that's readily achievable. and if you don't do it, it's a problem. the ada says you should be making these readily achievable barriers disappear. here is something we see all over san francisco. power door operators. so this business has a s

when they encounter someone who is not responding, the command and control tactics, they basically go to the scenario very quickly in their heads of what kind of force? shoot, do not shoot? that is not what people in mental health do. it is not what their training is. ultimately, the question came down to why is it that people go into mental health and other people do not? they choose a profession of law enforcement? primarily, it has to do with who is affected by this disability. bill has had something in their lives and has been deeply touched by a psychiatric illness, and they have committed themselves to wanting to further work with it, investigated, do something positive or feeling around it, or the opposite. often -- frequently, people who have psychiatric illnesses frighten other people. there is so much misinformation, and that misinformation is perpetuated over and over again by the press and media and just by the majority of people in our everyday language, that officers essentially have been trained to be fearful of people who are in crisis as opposed to compassionate. it i

is. chris: i know who it is.eb bush. >> however this gets resolved, the larger fight is going to happen in a lot of states and places across the country. but nowhere will it get more attention than south of wisconsin in chicago, where rahm manuel is going to have to take on the cops, firefighters and teacher's unions in the coming years. chris: it is a liberal or a moderate? >> he is a ruthless pragmatist, straight down the middle. chris: what is he going to be when he grows you and becomes a mayor. when we come back, this is sheer sugar for me. who is the greatest movie actor, male and female of all time. i want to hear both from everybody. we will be right back. chris: welcome back. it is oscar time this week. so our big question this week is i want each of our people here to name the greatest movie actor, male and female, of all time. i am starting with a real pro, dan rather. >> sir lawrence olivier, and mayoral streep. >> those are two good choices. i would go with carey grant, and grace kelly in to catch a

the question is who is the leader? how do you assess that? is that a good thing? the opposition will need to coordinate in such a way they can have somebody who can negotiate on their behalf with this military. it is not clear whether they have that. i worry that those who don't want to see the opposition's goals achieved might try to manipulate and split them by creating disagreement because this is a broad movement. but i think they are going to need to figure out who represents them and pushed the military to follow through on them. >> i have 30 seconds. what are we to make of these new protesters who are emerging? there is a new batch of protesters. >> because a lot of people's grievances are not simply political. they are not about democracy and an end to police oppression. they are also about serious economic grievances. the real challenge is by getting rid of mubarak you can respond to some of the political grievances. he will also need to respond to these economic grievances. the military has called for these protests to stomp is not hopeful. what we need

the problem is there is not an association or spokesperson who represents the position. is too much to ask the individual lawyer or public defender's office to do it, but a group of office is working together to pool their resources, to educate the public as to what they do in the interest of justice might actually start to change attitudes. >> last question. what effect has the "war on drugs" specifically, the rationalized profiling of drug dealers done to those parties involved and to the criminal justice system? someone mentioned "the wire." >> everybody loves to talk about post-racial america. but i think most folks in this room would agree that we are not in post-racial america yet. this is almost another panel to talk about race in america, the media, the intersection of crime in america and race. there is, i think, a perception, among people in america that the victims of crime are different from who the victims of car really are. -- crime really are. those of us who cover crime i believe are guilty for creating the misconceptions. the crimes we cover, the stories

i think what happened with gaddafi's presence before, who is a werner and who is eastern and who is a southerner? my family lived in baghrad for 60 years. my wife lives in tripoli. ali is from the south. who is from where? we don't have a nation now. we have divisions that can be played up but we do have a national spirit. and the younger people have a since of that, more than me or my others i think there are half a million libyan who did not give a huge car or hoot about who their tribe is and will not be played up this way. so i think we have a nation of now thinking along those lines, libyans are living a great moment. they are living a sense of capturing and recapturing their honor and there's nothing not world that would make them want to lose that. i think that the sacrifices may be coming and i would not wish it on my citizens to pay more. it is really any death that happens or more is more than libya can bear. but the moment of truth has come and, yes, there may be blood gushing forth again, but we, the people of libya, i'm certain, shall rejoice soon. >> ali, last words? >>

someone who has dedicated their professional career to that. that is a requirement. i urge you that in this nomination, you're rejecting someone who continues to serve our interested in the city. our tourist industry is very much a blank. -- linked. [chime] >> good afternoon, supervisors. in the city of san francisco, we have so many boards and commissions. there are no qualifications required to give back to the city. the historic preservation commission is very different. there are explicit qualifications except for the seat that is the general seat. this seat number four has some very specific qualifications. when i looked at the citadel, there was not one word -- at the resume of mr. johns, there was not one word of his dedication outside his law practice. that is not requested. i hope you will not appoint him. thank you. >> welcome to you. i'm a member of the san francisco preservation consortium. i am speaking for myself. you have just heard testimony about how very well qualified he is to be on the historic preservation commission certainly, he could be a great

that the government is it who is it who is the main kind of entity the media sleeps with well let's be clear you know the media is the right hand of the ruling class it is the voice of the ruling class in this particular country of which we would say less than ten percent own ninety percent of the wealth and resources when one of your songs you say the democrats and the republicans are two sides of the same coin does that mean. you think that obama is just a continuation of george bush obama. representing capitalism being just a continuation of george bush is an understatement. you have a system which was built of the slave of african people to birth a birth of this economy it gave birth to not only what's happening here domestically but around the world which is what we call today imperialism you have barack hussein obama as also a cogged meaning a small part of the machinery that works the system the same old kind of a rule that happen across the country is still happening in the same or way but represented by a face

it is not who is it, are we there yet, is anybody home. not, how much for the lemon, not, how much for the ivory, leopard, the peach. not, when are we leaving. not, how will we leave. not, do you know who she came with? how many clowns will hit in the car. the head of a pin? no one cares how many angels. no one cares what you think of the smart bomb corruption, the mobs. your opinion on deregulation, no one's concerned much the question is not who done it the question is not what's for dinner, what's your beverage, where's the beef? the question is not who is your daddy? is not, which way will the wind blow? is not, where's the car. you wash behind your ears; right . question is not did you turn off the oven or turn off the alarm what's that got to do with the price of tea in china. did you bite it. what's gotten into you no one's asking if you know where your children are. no one's asking if you can locate the nearest exits. in some cases they may be behind you. no one cares whether or not you are being followed. don't ask if it makes you

delores is one of the persons who really is extending much of that effort that is impacting so many people's lives. she herself is a senior citizen, but you would not know it by how much energy and activism that she has. she is one that has committed herself to working with elders in neighborhoods, and it is like helping people who live isolated lives find resources around nutrition, health, separating themselves from the isolation that they often live in. that is the great work that delors has been part of. she is a member of the food security task force, the community collaborative, and neighbors in action. she is a lifetime member of the national council of negro women and works for the california state automobile association electronic data system in the information technology field before bringing her skills to the community. she is working for the community living campaign, working with marie, who is here as a community connector, for the ocean view, merced heights, and in will side neighborhoods. she developed and coordinates the food network distribution program come apart during wit

psychologically and socially could position themselves to do a better job at reaching the person who is affected. so one size does not fit all, but the strategy is one of welcoming and incentivizing through environmental and social and psychological support. so whether you're in a hispanic social organization or an african american social organization or a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender social organization, that is not the issue. the issue is, are you having a problem with alcohol and drugs and if so, does your social context acknowledge that there are those problems and does it embrace recovery as a construct. because that's the other thing we want to push is social support for being in recovery. treat me- treat me with understanding. treat me- treat me with courtesy. drug and alcohol addiction is an equal opportunity disease. individuals in recovery come from all walks of life and deserve to be treated with respect and admiration for winning one of the hardest battles there is. treat me without judgment. treat me- with humanity. alcohol and drug addiction deserves proper treatmen

you are talking curt russell who is supposed to be a good guy. rge lopez and now the boys who get paid to deliver. here is phil mickelson. he shoots 71 today and then vj is going to chip from the sand. sing shoots 69. steve and da points at minus 7. so here we go. of course, where is tiger woods? he doesn't like these rounds. tiger says i just love this one. he gets $3 million to play in dubai, and then $59 million to promote a golf course. for $58 million, i think i would say, bye bye to pebble beach, too. anyway, he is minus 1 and 27th place. roy mcelroy is minus 7. he is your leader in dubai. we have been having fun with this all week. but again, that's $58 million. as you said last night, you can always go down and look at the seat. how can tiger not play? i mean, how do you turn that down? >> that would be hard. >> have a good night, everybody. we'll see you tomorrow.

until september, buy himself some more time and put this down or at least remind the people here who is in charge. >> charlie: and they think his motivation was to create conflict or simply to gain ground? >> well, this is again from talking to the locals and looking at this today, it seems a tad transparent but if you believe the theory that these were cobbled together. that these are street gangs and some of the journalists who were hit by them today and incidentally that was a big switch. yesterday all of cairo wanted to be on camera. today they all wanted to take our cameras from us. a big shift. but if you believe the theory, then mubarak can certainly say look, these were not men in union for coming to reclaim the city and the square. these appeared to be citizen gangs who had had enough of the six, seven days of economic stagnation that people's uprising has caused mother egypt. >> where was the army? >> well the army, that's an interesting question. they're sitting in tanks and armored personnel carriers. i remarked to a friend of mine i guess last night u.s. time early in the m

is in canada. she's going to an arts school. and nasreen, the one who had to escape the border, i don't know where she is. and three of them are still in iran. and my main student teaches. and still writes criticism which i hope she'll day finish. >> was your male student at the meetings? >> no, none of the meetings. he would come to my house on a one to one basis. >> i wrote this down when i read your book. "i can't live like this anymore." when did you make that statement and leave the counsfli >> for a long time i kept saying it, every year. i can't live like this anymore. but this class, which was the highlight of my life in iran, at least my working life in iran also made me realize how isolated i had become. i thought how long can i continue with the crafts? it can't be forever with these seven girls. now six. and i can't write what i want because this book was in my mind for a long time. and when i would come for talks in u.s., the title of my talks were a lot of times were related. and tell you the truth, i wanted to write and teach. and i didn'

who is going to take salinger's place? who is writing the great american novel now?there will be a list of several young male writers, middle-aged writers and baby elderly writers and a woman stuck on the end. it is very fresh rating because the assumption is somehow that the female experience is not the american experience and a dessert and not the great american experience that is going to be reflected in the novel. it is really harder thing for women writers to contest without. there was a tremendous lack recently about jonathan franzen whose novel was picked up by a number of critics, mostly male critics but not entirely, and just hyped. this was another gan, never great american novel but it is about a lot of the things that women write about. is about families. is about messick life. some women writers said you know women just don't get this kind of attention. it hasn't really happened yet and it is usually that exclusion issues we attributed to the subject matter. it clearly is an. is really about gender. whether it is a man writing about the family it is cont

a great deal of credit goes to one teacher, who is standing to my left, and her boss, who is sitting right here to my right. i want to thank them both, and a special thanks to superintendent garcia who has been handling this program throughout his tenure year. this year's recipients represent elementary, middle, high-school, bilingual programs, language immersion programs, mathematics, english, health, multiple subjects, and this year, we had teachers from our juvenile court schools, so, again, we are very proud of their achievement, and i am now going to hand this out to kay garcia. we are fortunate to have her with us today. she is a national board certification director, in and she has some short remarks and a letter to korea -- and she has some short remarks in a letter to read from the national superintendent. >> -- and a letter to read. >> good afternoon, president mendoza, commissioners, superintendent garcia. i want to thank you for the support. this would be to recognize the newest san francisco a cheaper -- teachers to achieve this certification. we now have 200, a nice roun

for those who is it. live from austria is here in central moscow this is r t with you twenty four hours a day it's midnight here eleven pm in karo where the egyptian military authorities now control in the country i promise they will comply fully with egypt's international obligations during the transitional period the army took charge of the country after the embattled president hosni mubarak finally stepped down on friday and in a public standoff last in more than two weeks on saturday crowds once again gather the square which became the center point for the our people in the country to mark the historic event. with other world leaders welcome a resignation that the voice of the people had been heard since and u.s. backed the former dictator during his thirty year reign there were those. question the sincerity of these sentiments is gonna check on reports washington is not likely to take a back seat when it comes to egypt's new politics. in the west mubarak's departure was hailed as a triumph of democrac

that is who jesus is. he meets us at our lowest and he can rescue us from the depths of us and wants to give us life in the midst of the pain of life. he meets us and loves us wantds to rescue us no matter what we are going for. i found out indirectly, i was under 2 death sentences, one for a missionary and one for a spy. it was my moment in the courtroom, i stood on stands, hundreds of percent people in the room, video cameras, judges, then came the question, tell us today, sir, why did you come to iran? something rose up, the power of god. i remember looking at the judge and saying this, i came to iran to tell you about jesus christ. when i said that, i am like what did i say? [laughter] all of a sudden, i said it again and again and something started to grow in my heart. for about 20 minutes, i preached the gospel. i told everyone in that room, i told everyone who could hear me all about who jesus is and how much he loved them. i am free. i am free. so what if they kill me. my life is bought by the bloo

this is not necessarily about religious muslims these are people who would self identify as muslim so that could mean in terms of ethnicity or in terms of social grouping this is not necessarily a religious demarcation so the number of religious muslims is likely much less you know muhammad if i say within your ok go ahead finish up go ahead. i would just want to point out that within europe the changes that would take place between twenty ten and twenty thirty will differ from country to country this isn't going to be a sort of an even sweep mohamed if i can go to you you know looking at this pew research you could actually come to use it whatever. you want to i mean you can say oh my goodness the population growth is here and they really go into great detail is that we look they look at the demographics we look at a certain generation there can be if i can use the term prolific in their in their in their growth but then that's going to slow down dramatically after two thousand and thirty just because different groups are in different demographic waters but nonetheless looking at thi

power is he who controls imperialism the belly of imperialism is born at the birth of capitalism in this country through a slave been to africa and its resources which are still being siphoned out of africa and into the world today despite the world media tirade against africa put trade it as this third world place to be this has been the number one place that people have been siphoning resources from for five hundred years power comes from the barrel of a gun and so as many bombs as they can point at whatever foreign country that it plans to control. is reading this and willingness to take this area we see the same tentacles of u.s. domination because of its ability to have its power base here the birth of its strength and capitalism and then the defense of it using military might around the world. if blinds in motion would be soon which brighten if you knew about sound from phones to impressions. screens for instance on t.v. . wealthy british style holds. markets finance scandal find out what's really happening to the global eco

so she goes up against the alderman, who is one of the people who put her in the position. >> that is not very nice. you don't bite the hand that feeds you. >> very, very foolish of him. i love working with him. >> he is a great actor. >> we used to laugh on set, and i would see how he was doing things, maneuvering props and things to gain ground, and we would love. >> to your point, after all the years of doing this, do you still find yourself watching and learning, checking out other actors? >> oh, my goodness, dell roy schooled me every day. i learned so much from him. he is a very powerful man, incredibly kind, incredibly generous to other people, and very dedicated to his work. really like our last day of shooting at the end of the series i cried because i knew that i would miss going to work with him the next day. and hopefully next season. we will see what happens. >> for those who watched the super bowl, meaning most all of us, fox was promoting the heck out of this series. they obviously expect a lot out of you and the cast in terms of delivering. no pressure. >> not me perso

that everybody in america has now of either accept or anchor with corporate america, and anybody who is portrayed on scene will be called the b-word if she is a woman or another term if it is a dude. i cannot imagine anybody plan that character would be embraced or beloved. maybe it is not sexist, i don't know, you tell me. >> i am not sure. i believe there is a lot of sexist mentality in business. i have seen it quite a lot in the past year-and-a-half, dealing with haiti, and i noticed being in certain circumstances, in offices, it is an interesting dynamic. something i'm just starting to look at and explore. tavis: how have you decided, you're just starting to explore, your strategy may change, but how at this point have you personally dealt with being in those environments? >> that is a great way to put it, putting in a patriarchal set of way. it is having as much education as i can, and i am clear on my vision. i set boundaries from the beginning, this is what i want, and also not what a lot of people do, i find, especially artists who are doing business, is giving our power away. i

who were some that you think that americans that you look to and say, that is someone who deserves a kind word. >> guest: it is interesting. he just announced his retirement. his retirement in washington. it is interesting. the old guys, hubert humphrey's. where are those guys today? where are the tip o'neill's today? where are those people? they were tremendous. it has gotten so embattled in washington. and i said this just the other day. washington is starting to sound like a regular talk show. it doesn't do well. it doesn't play well. talk radio is good for talk radio, but washington needs to be what washington does, the laws, the debate and what have you. washington, when starts sounding like talk radio or television or whenever, you don't get much handling and you don't really get to see the person and admire the person and what he is truly trying to do. everyone is trying to make their point. speak in sound bites. you don't get to hear the person because it is all sound bites. where is the depth of these people? >> host: he spent much of your life working in talk radio. people w
