when i ran for city council here in l.a., i came out here to work for tom bradley, i thought i was going to be an elected official, i thought i would be barack obama back in the day. a senator from indiana, my home state, i wanted to go back to indiana and run for the u.s. senate. politics was my first love. when i ran for that city council seat in l.a. and lost, i thought, at 26, my life was over. i did not see the failure as a friend÷ then. now, imagine if i won that city council seat, i might still be filling potholes on sunset opposed to sitting here talking to larry king. >> can you therefore accept failure today or are you beyond it? tavis: lord no. you have to accept failure. the whole point of the book is that i believe you can fail up. i don't know anyone who hasn't failed their way to the top. i mentioned barack obama, our president, a moment ago. when barack obama ran for the united states senate and walked basically into the senate, people forget that a few years prior he got the brakes beat off of him by a guy named bobby rush who is still a congressman. >> but he had a te

in my case, i--i sing. so my voice is--is something that i can give and something that is felt to be a gift by others. and to me, that's a great blessing. you--you wrote recently in the boston globe about women and the world that--that lies ahead. your quote was, "women are going to reshape the planet "during this century. the only question is how quickly it will happen." [laughs] i said that. well, with a lot of help, i think that the women of the world have-- have seen that this is-- holding up half the sky, which we do, has always meant that there's a partnership. i'm a feminist-- always have been a feminist since my father told me that, yes, i was a girl, and yes, i could do everything, and yes, i had to do everything. but i'm also a humanist, and i think that together we reshape the world. in the--in the time that we've just come through, i've once again been singing america the beautiful. and what i sing in the last verse is: ♪ o beautiful for tapestry ♪ of every face and form, ♪ of courage in a

i felt lonely. i wanted to say good-bye. i wanted to say "i love you" one more time. i... i didn't want to die alone. it was something that i never knew about myself, would be important to me, to be dying separated from the people i love and who love me. >> narrator: the storm, which began as a cyclone in the bay of bengal, surprised everyone on the mountain as it surged higher, gaining in energy, power, and ferocity, overwhelming the exhausted summit climbers as they searched for camp on the hard rocks and steep cliffs of the south col. >> we would walk, thinking, "wow, the wind's going to want to blow us toward the kangshung face, so let's overcompensate by going the other direction, and we'll probably hit base camp." >> and as you move further and you become more disoriented... and the entire time that you're doing this, the storm, the wind, the snow, the cold, everything is just moving, it's crescendoing, and now it's the noise level that's starting to overwhelm you, and you've got to yell at each other to be heard at all. and i don't know whether we're getting a sense

i would figure it out, i said. so i quit and i stayed there. and think of the council on foreign relations actually end up giving me a fellowship in new york because it finally coming out and is able to write this book. in which i very much try to use dark humor to pull you through it and the whole idea of a very new person going over there so that we -- readers who know nothing might be up to follow what's happened. so that's the book and now i'm reported and investigative reporter at propublica. i got a serious site a serious site. i figure i would read a couple things from the book this evening and then open it up to questions. you can ask me what everyone except i'm not going to do that dance. i should say the book is designed into two sections. the first section is afghanistan, and it's called koppel hi. for obvious reasons of anybody who has been there, and the second section is called pakistan. not just because it is kind of wacky and pakistan but also because i kind of feel like what we've done over there with our foreign policy is the

i like thinking on my feet. i said when i was a young man, i would drink a lot of bourbon. sometimes when i was drinking bourbon, i would rail against the tyranny of the written word. you know, "the written word!" i really do believe that we conflate the process of writing with thinking. you don't need to write to think. thinking happens in our minds of if you are thinking, you are not thinking in sentences. there is a different thing going on. i love the way in debate, it is oral. i love the way the thought hovers in the mind and is expressed. and then things are grappled in the air. and everyone is participating. i love that. >> where did you go to college? >> colby college. it was in maine. i got a scholarship that allowed me to go. from maine. i was very much the guy from maine. everybody else is from outside of maine. >> was it grades that got you in there? was it your sats or your performance? >> my grades were good, but not exceptional. i think it was my essays. i think my essay played a lot in getting me in. i don't know. i am glad they let me in. i really am. >> yo

fast forward again, i decided i know, i am going to tell my grandmother's stories, so i wrote the dark:30, southern tales of the supernatural. i had never written anything longer. these are short stories, a collection of 10. based on southern stories, my stories but based on stories that i heard. they were like stories i heard. one in particular comes from my growing up. we managed our monsters. i was the founder and first president of monster watches of america. i ate 6 boxes of crinkle cereal and in the mail i received 6 glow in the dark id badges, oh yes. and i invited 5 friends to join me. the most prized possession was the monster book, you know the monster rules, you know them. module no. 10, monsters cannot come within the circle of light. if you have light, they can't come in that circle of lot. monster rule no. 7, you don't play near where monsters live. isn't that common sense? why do they have people stay in houses and it says get out? i say who wrote that?

i am 25. i am a mother. i have been going to parties since i was 7. i just wanted to talk about the bill and what it is a little fishy to me. it seems like there is an underlying misconception that is apparent to the bill. it is ignorance toward the function of dance parties in our culture. there is common sense apparent in the belief that preventing viable options will solve whatever problems arise from these gatherings. that is an oversimplified solution. it will do more harm to our culture, easily seen in past prohibition cases like alcohol and abortion, where public health and safety was at stake in the face of misplaced ideals. the more logical answer to solving the problem is to hone and regulatory practices, and allowing the community to have a platform to bring concerns to the political table, and vice versa, like we are doing here today. it is an act of disrespect to not allow these events to take place at certain venues while green lighting other musical acts and festivals, some that harbor just as many if not more serious safety issues for

that being said, i do think that it's time to reopen the discussion and i do think that i have always had some frustrations around concentration with this issue that came up initially because there was some opposition and these were cannabis dispensary that had been in place in certain neighborhoods for a number of years and i didn't feel it was fair to be judging them based on these rules around oversaturation. and then as for the 1,000 square foot, this kind of decision, i think that's very challenging, too, because there aren't many places in the city other than in the c-3 and i think me and a friend went over that actually would be available for medical cannabis dispensaries. and i think that this location is what i would be inclined to support it and support commissioner moore's cautionary note that i am not necessarily convinced that this is the most ideal location for this use. and my reason being that we just approved a location adjacent to it and the concerns that the hotel owner has are somewhat legitimate and i am concerned about the proximity issue and i know in the past t

and also that i couldn't really stand having a mind that i hated -- i loved ideas, i loved -- i certainly never had a fundamentalist or a literal understanding of anything. i mean, you can't grow up with a storyteller and be a literalist. i mean, everything's an allegory almost, everything's a metaphor. it's the nature of the story. and so the idea the earth could be created in seven days or that the sea would actually part or whatever was very hard for me to take. and my father's family had been episcopalians for 100 years. my great grandmother, maude fortune founded the colored episcopal church in cumberland, maryland. and so this was part of my tradition, but when my father married my mother and moved to our village, he just stopped going to church because the white episcopal church was very upper class, was not integrated. and when he had tried to go there, they told him he would have to sit in the back of the church at the last pew because each family had its own pew. and he just said, "thank you very much, but i'll pass on god." so when i was 14, i started to -- i had broken my hip

i am in good shape. -- i weigh 151 pounds. i am in good shape. i do pushups. somebody in new hampshire is going to ask me to do it. i had open heart surgery five and half years ago. i do not remember the date, june 21, 2005, right before katrina. i am a diabetic. open-heart surgery is often required. i have five valve replacements, are greet replacements. before i announced my exploratory committee, for the first time i went for a full battery of tests with my doctor. we did a nuclear stress test. i had never had that done before. he said it was perfect. he said it was in perfect running order. he said i did not know about my mind but my body was in good shape. that is what i wanted my doctor to tell me. i was not a teenager when i became a diabetic. i was in my 20s. it was then called juvenile diabetes, anything before 30. they have changed some of the language now. i am an insulin dependent diabetic. i am wearing an insulin pump. it allows me to run for president. i have thought about this for 20 years. i could not run before because i did not have a diabeti

i am dedicating to harold bloom. i am not a poet. i want to be rich. i have had a great sex life. i am not a poet. georgia i do not like being called an act visit. i cannot be considered a vegetarian. i will give my ass up and like it. i would be inspired. i may value peace, but will not use a pen to unleash my anger. i am not a poet. i am not dying. weight loss can still be a choice. i am not a poet. i don't care much for. i don't spend me weekends read anything writing. i like to have cocktails but i do not have a drinking problem regardless of what state i wake up in. i don't need drugs to open up my imagination. i am not a poet. i can tolerate half an hour of spoken word poetry. what my cats are up to. i always carry my business cards. i am not a poet, i only write to masture bait my mind. i am trying to convince myself that poetry it save lives. it's the dust of art. and i am going to close with to poet. americano. i look at myself in the mirror. trying to figure out what makes me an american. i see chickens. practicing religions without a roof. i see my own blood. proud amer

i thought i had seen everything, but i actually hadn't. the week before last, one of the doors was not closing. that was something unfortunately we see all too often on these cars, the defective doors. i assume, as normally, the operator would come back and fix it. instead, the car left the station with the door open and proceeded through the tunnel. and someone was filming and started filming it about halfway through. there were two guys, for reasons i do not understand, were standing right by the door. i said to them, there is room over here. the operator got on the intercom and ask them to stand away from the door. the operator clearly knew what was happening. my option -- the option any of the passengers on that train have -- was to hit the emergency brake. i do not know if anyone in this room has been on one of those when the emergency brake was activated. i have. it is not pretty. it throws people around. it enters people. in fact, i have defended losses from muni where people got broken arms and -- lawsuits from many more people got

i grew up there since i was 11 or 12. i am a san francisco resident, native. this means a lot to me. i do not want to see parkmerced become like the fillmore. it will. many of my fellow natives in the city had to move to other cities. i talked to them all the time about how they cannot afford to be in this city. the reason i am able to stay in the city is because i have a place that is affordable for me. i would not leave parkmerced even if i made a lot more money. it means a lot to me. i continue to want to live there, no matter how much money i make. i am not living there because of the money. but that is a real relevant issue in san francisco. we are pushing out a lot more people every year who cannot live in the city they grew up in. i would like to see this project not take place. there are numerous reasons why people talk about the eir. i was there in '89 and i saw how it was. >> good afternoon, esteemed supervisors. thank you for giving me the opportunity to address you. my name is judith flam and i am the director of the montessori children's center in

. >> yes, i heard that. i heard that. i made it so i did hear it. tavis: you made a little news. what do you want to tell me about this decision? it is official now. >> yeah, yeah. listen. i think it was pretty much -- tavis: the worst kept secret. >> it was clear and it was sort of, i didn't mean to be coy. i just didn't want to jump the gun on any kind of announcement and i wanted to be respectful of my successor at the evening news but i will be stepping down as anchor and managing editor. my contract ends at the end of may. tavis: so what is next? error i'm not sure. i'm still kind of mulling my opportunities for the future. i'm really excited about the future and i absolutely loved anchoring the "cbs evening news." i have been working with some incredible people for the past five years who i respect and admire very much including my executive producer rick caplain who is just the consummate news man and my other associates but i think that i'm excited about the future and about doing something that is a little more in my wheelhouse. while it was such a privilege to sit in th

i have to think, do i -- am i sure? because i think, i think the solution -- i think it, i guess i think it depends. but i think the real key in new orleans actually wasn't the hurricane. the real key was leslie jacobs, paul pastarak and a whole generation of other people in new orleans most of whom, many of whom were teach for america alums who were deeply determined to address what they viewed as the single most unconscionable crisis in our country and who understood what you understand especially after you've taught successfully in this context which is there isn't a silver bullet to this. >> yeah. >> you change a governance law, that's not going to fix the problem for our kids. >> but you had a you had a nucleus in place poised to take advantage of an opportunity. the opportunity was katrina, and that allowed an awful lot of change to happen in a very short period of time. >> yes. >> i have no argument with that -- do you have any argument with that version? >> no. >> good. [laughter] that's what we're talking about

commissioner dejesus: so i guess i wasn't here. i had my trial in january. are we talking about take the charter out of the commission's hands hands and turn it into commission officers? are we talking about that kind of thing? commissioner kingsley: i don't think -- at least the discussions i've had so far it is not leaning in the direction toward removing the role that the commission plays in the discipline process, but i do think that, you know, part of the exploration is to find out if it makes sense to have more authority and more power to the chief or within the department. i do think it is part of the exploration. i do think that anybody anticipates necessarily a change in the role of the o.c.c., for example. i think that that is well established and, you know, well defined and director hicks and i, we spoke about, you know, from the o.c.c.'s perspective about what can be tweaked to work better in the process from the o.c.c. perspective and we're moving onto the department and this week with the p.o.a. so at this point it is an explore tri process to

so i felt comfortable with the vote i took. i felt comfortable with the reason why i took that vote. i see the power of an open internet. i see how it's enhanced communities. i see the millions and millions of persons who now do business online who the economic basis has been lifted because of this experience, because it doesn't matter if they have a big shop. they don't have to spend money for rent in order to deal in commerce. it is the great equalizer. so i am very comfortable with the decision. again, it goes back to what howard mentions. sometimes we see things differently in terms of the particulars of a decision, but i think all in all, we want a robust engagement. we want consumer comfort, because if you have consumer comfort and you have a healthy economic exchange, then everybody wins. i think clear signals do that. i think this is what the open internet decision we made promotes. >> well, that open internet has led to a crisis or a looming crisis in spectrum. how do you think that should be dealt with? >> i think wha

i never felt like i lived in a city in los angeles, but when i lived in massachusetts, where i live, i was close to boston. i had such a great time in boston but i did not like massachusetts so much because it was cold, the culture was foreign to me. when i came to san francisco, the first time i came, there was a rainbow over the bay and there was something calling me. i was 20 at the time. i knew that this was a place i needed to live. the history here, you can see it in terms of buildings, you know the history from, labor history, hit the history, history of what happened in 1978 with milk, mosconi. but i wanted to be a part of its. >> what got you involved in politics? >> i had been involved in politics for decades. i was doing work around central america, supporting people in central america, protecting against u.s. imperialism, and their right to live. i was doing a lot of work on campus in college. head of work against apartheid. i was involved in a lot of the efforts to push back on efforts to remove affirmative action, prop 209, all kinds of work around ballot measures that

i really do, and i don't want to message, i want us to solve the problem and i did all of us want to work together to see that happen and i appreciate again the way the leadership of our party has brought us together to try to do that and we are reaching out to the other side to try to make sure that this happens. thank you. >> thank you, senator hatch and senator mcconnell and getting all 47 republicans i think is very important. the number one problem we face in our country is our debt. we will never, ever balance our budget until we amend our constitution. it is the single most important vote we will cast. republicans need this as well as democrats. we all need a rule of we must obey. this is the single most important vote we will cast this year and i hope the other side will come and embraced the idea of the fiscal sanity again. thank you. >> i get home every weekend to wyoming and sit around and ask people questions and discuss things and bostick sat with a group of people and said who's here believes they have a better life right now than their parents and a free hand goes up.

when i was growing up i would hear the names. and they would conjure the sense of another world i was no longer a part of but was connected to. i think the -- i came to the brink of this sort of, you know, really quest gradualy by hearing the names. the other experience i had when i was growing up is music in my grand mother's house. my grand mother live on the first floor of the apartment building the door was open. everyone in the apartment building stopped there after work. they would stop for a drink and play polka, not polka, poker. and lynched to john gibbons play an accordion on his wooden leg. you had the sense of people having come over if not in mass by a great number to this other place with a kind of echo of that place being transposed into the world that became my world. so that of my mother's side of the family. my father's side was more mysterious. over time i heard stories of lost aunts and saint john >> new found land which is not where they are from and a deeper echo further back. i had my grandfather's passport

. >> [inaudible] >> i saw him. i was here. i watched him with great respect and affection. >> [inaudible] >> so let me see. if you've got an empty seat next to you, can i have you put your hand up? there's some folks in the back. can i encourage people from the back, you don't have to pay more to it. it would be a great thing to make us feel like people are comfortable. i would also like to take a moment and ask my good friend rebecca dell gado to stand up and get a great round of applause. everybody who is involved here. [applause] >> i think that there are probably video pirates that are going to come after mohammed, because he has been duplicating this so much. i can tell you. he is so excited to have this tool, that he insisted that i take my daughter's barney video watching machine and view this at home. and i really think it is an excellent tool. i see that my friend and colleague admiral from this year with the school district and other colleagues from the school district. i think it's incredibly important that we have
