but it really is a great job, george. you get to work with wonderful people like, of course, our now newly elected and soon to be inaugurated mayor ed lee. you get to -- [applause] >> you find that when you're the district attorney of san francisco, you definitely want to have friends in sacramento, in particular in the legislature because we have a very active office that is often finding ways that we can improve the laws and so we have found a great leader in senator mark leno who is here, of course. [applause] >> it's always helpful when the president of the board of supervisors was a former member of the office and that of course, is david chiu. [applause] >> and then when you got someone like dennis as city attorney who is always find his way into prosecution is helpful. so it's a great job. it's a wonderful job. i remember when gavin as mayor talked to me about the fact that he was going to bring in this new police chief and i had actually heard about him from bill bratton, who was the police chief of los angeles be

please welcome george stephanopoulos. [cheering and applause] thanks so much. hey, george. good to see you again. how's it going? all right, sir. that's the big news. what is this? >> i heard you were running low. >> stephen: you want to do a couple shots? >> let's go. >> stephen: all right. let's do it. okay. you first. >> go ahead. [cheering and applause] >> stephen: there you go. now, george, i imagine you need a hit of whisky after this debate on saturday night. >> that was fun. >> stephen: we'll get to that in a moment. talk about you're returning to "this week." >> going back. >> stephen: great show. you're going back. but isn't that greedy because you're staying at "good morning america." what's next? are you going to take jimmie kimmel show? >> i asked about, that but it's in l.a., so i can't do it. >> is it going to be permanent? >> at least for the election year. >> stephen: good luck. >> good luck to you in this election year. >> stephen: thank you very much. we will see. we will see. now, you used to be one of the guys who goes on shows like "this week" with geo

imagine being george back in the 1950's living in cuban. that's where george came from. he was there watching his father lose his job because he had the audacity to speak up and express his political points of view. he watched his uncle spend more than 10 years in prison for doing the same. at just 13, talk about a vulnerable age, 13 years old, he makes his way to the second largest city in the united states of america speaking only spanish, uprooted from his home country, and he comes out to this state in this nation, learns english, learns the value of hard work and discipline, works his way through college at california state university system at long beach. joins the army, makes his way as a young man to the los angeles police department and works his way up extraordinarily. in the wake of rampart, works his way up as assistant police chief in one of the largest police departments in our nation, distinguishes himself there so much so that he is recruited to facea, arizona, and then makes front-page news across this country because he has the courage, the same courage

>> no, i don't, george. part of the reason is, because everybody political writer that's on the a team on the political realm is in new hampshire right now. if rick santorum bypassed new hampshire and gone to south carolina, people would have said he just couldn't compete. four years ago, the decision we made to compete in new hampshire, knowing that we probably would not do better than third, if we knew that if we didn't do that, he's a regional candidate. he can only compete in the south. or he's a demographic candidate. he can only compete with evangelical candidates. rick santorum is doing the same thing. he has to, he cannot somehow be pegged as the guy who can only campaign where there are value voters. that would be disastrous. more so than competing. >> lot of conservatives concerned that the conservative vote will be split. newt gingrich going to south carolina. rick perry going to south carolina. rick santorum going to the south carolina. and mitt romney going to south carolina. is this the field?

very tactful. >> rose: the book is called george f kennan, an american life. thank you. thank you for joining us. see you next time. captioning sponsored by rose communications captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

this is george lucas. this is not spike lee. this is george lucas. he had to fight to get it by. >> i think he had to go to the dark side of the force to make something happen. what was taking place -- he has been working at this film for 23 years. he started developing the story. things went along and there was not enough to happen. there were people battling whose story we use. finally, after 23 years, he gets to the point where he is ready to get it made. he goes to studios. nobody wants to touch it. he says, "i will put my own money up." he puts up $50 million, shoots the movie, polishes it. brings it to fox initially, where he has brought them billions of dollars in the past. his record shows this is a profitable man. he gets there. the telephone, "it is a good movie, but we do not know what to do with it. we do not know how to market it." it is an action movie. but it is an action movie with a black cast. they do not think it is viable outside this country or outside the black community. all of the bad guys are white. so? that is just history.

[applause] >> thank you. [applause] >> it is really a tremendous honor for me to be here today. first, i want to say a few words in spanish. [speaking spanish] to my sons, you are incredible. i am so proud of all of you. before i go on, i also want to say a few words to the people behind me. these people have made the difference for me. i am going to start with mayer br

to discuss that is george will, donna brazile, austan goolsbee and laura ingraham. >>> george, some new polls numbers out of florida. romney at 41. gingrich 27. romney opening up that gap. what's going on? >> time is not newt gingrich's friend. the more time he has the more he talks. he said i would love to be civil. but i'm running against a liar. that's pretty strong language. i don't know if you have ever told longfellows nursery rhyme to your 4-year-old daughter yet. >> not yet. >> when she was good, she was very good indeed. when she was bad, she was very horrid. >> he won south carolina. it threw the republican nomination process in turmoil. he's being outspent 5 to 1 in florida. mitt romney, one fourth of floridians voted early in 2008. once again we're seeing a great deal of floridians going to the polls early and voting early. independents, women, hispanics, they're voting against newt gingrich, he as problem, florida will either make him what i call the third combback kid or destroy his campaign. >> he said i'm the real conservative. mitt romney is the faux conservative. he be

she had high expectations for george. he was one of the first disabled children to be in a regular education classroom. this is 1968, long before inclusion was accepted. my mom realized early on that george had a special gift. he was able to play the piano and organ by ear. just by hearing a song, he would go to the piano and play it with his left hand. his right hand was affected by his birth defect, so he was unable to use it. gradually, george's health deteriorated, and he was declared legally blind. he stumbled around the house, falling and running into walls. again, my mom never complained. she constantly bragged on george, telling him he was such a good son. she made sure his every need was met. george had an amazing life and was very happy. sadly, he passed away in my mom's arms in october of 2011. my mom has centered her life around george for the past 53 years. her wants and desires have been sacrificed for her three children. she has always put her children first in her life. my mom is a wonderful role model. >>

>> without a doubt, do you not, george? >> i'm asking the questions. >> do you believe that corporations are people? >> i'm not going to weigh in on that. we're going to have a long campaign here. >> corporations are people. you won't weigh in on whether some people are people. that seems kind of racist, george. >> i'm going to move on. >> really, i bet you will. >> one of your top supporters, jon stewart, he's running now -- he's running your super pac. listen to roger ailes said about him, he said that stewart hates conservative views. he hates conservative thoughts. he hates conservative verbiage. he's crazy. he makes a living by attacking conservatives and stirring up a liberal base against it. it's not going to help you all that much in south carolina. according to roger ailes. to have someone that hates conservatives. >> i agree with roger. i mean, that's why i'm disavowing anything that jon stewart does that is not accurate. i believe that jon stewart is a loose cannon. i believe that he's a liberal. i believe that h

>>george: and a fatal accident 80 westbound. that means it is not going to be cleared any time soon. this happened so early in the commute, the traffic was very light the and even so we have already managed to back up the ride nearly to highway 4 westbound. costs of habitat standstill. that is the reason things are likely to be so slow. there are only one may be too lanes available. one of your best bets would be to take the already crowded richmond parkway to bring into interstate 580 and you can reconnect with the east shore freeway. your other option is to use interstates 680 down highway 24 were cut across highway 37 and take 101 in from orange county. those are your options this morning. it is likely to be painfully slow. drive times are already reported that over one hour from hercules to berkeley. i expected this will back up all the way to vallejo for 80 westbound. >>erica: a pretty mild start to the morning. we do not have too much in the way of fog. we do not have to many locations near freezing. temperatures are prett

>> george, i... i don't know whether the state has the right to ban contraception, no state wants to, the idea of you putting forward things that states might want to do, no state wants to do, ask me whether they can do that is a silly thing. >> do you believe... the supreme court should -- >> can you really take the time now and explain to everybody what happened there? how it was possible those kind of comments went out under your name, without you knowing about it. >> concentrating on something that was written 20 years ago, that i didn't write, is diverting the attention from most of the important issues. >> well, that is ron paul's take on those comments that go back a couple of decades, george stephanopoulos brought up now. was he being a fair minded journalist or an attack dog? >> in those questions, i don't have a problem with them. it is strange a harvard law graduate doesn't know about griswold versus connecticut. he should know whether states are allowed to ban the sale of contraceptives a

let's go to george for an update. >>george: a second hot spot westbound, just west of the 680 interchange. it is affecting all of the westbound lanes. there are two lanes blocked right now. there is a blackout on the sensors just before the scene of the accident. it is hard to tell exactly how far the backup breaches, but lately it reaches all the way to 24 and could soon impact the southbound 680 ride headed towards the scene of that crash. the delays here are unanticipated. another hot spot on 92, just west of 280. there was a head-on crash reported that blocked the two westbound lanes. there were no injuries reported. from 35 up 2 to 80 it is stopped in go in both directions. do not be surprised if this backs of traffic. a bridge check as we look first at the bay bridge westbound, we might see a backup if we do not end up with an accident on interstate 80 like yesterday carried the san mateo bridge is pretty light westbound in eastbound. in >>george: visibility is pretty good. we have high clouds out there. let's t

>>george: welcome back. we are continuing to track a hot spot on interstate 80 westbound. a fatal accident at carlson boulevard is blocking three of the available lanes westbound. the traffic is being squeezed into one lane past the scene of the crash. the backup on interstate 80 does not quite reached a high wait for. that is only because so many people have heard about the crash and is staying away. call other alternates are already jammed. >>james: new details about the teenager charged with raping at least two women in oakland. police say additional victims have come forward accusing the 14 year-old suspect of attacking them. the alameda county sheriff's office says there are five alleged victims attacked in a for a period of time. not all of them were sexually assaulted, but attacked the molest. he has already been charged in connection with two of those incidents. >>darya: a fight over a new $1 billion stadium for the 49ers appears to be headed to court. the santa clara city council voted 5-2 not the t

george thought that was not true. he thought that patriotism was pointing out the country's false and trying to improve them. in his mind, he was fulfilling the highest order of patriotism. many people interpreted it as him tearing down the united states by talking so graphically about the cost of war, our conduct their, and even why we were there in the first place. >> so, how does george mcgovern overcome this and then win the nomination? >> again, he was a bit of a political savant. he was an organizational genius. he understood what it would take to win. we talk about what a good guy he was, and that is true. we should not overlook the fact that he was intensely ambitious as well. he tells the story of himself sometimes. a friend said to him, george, you are the most lauded, self effacing egomaniac i know. and that was true. he had what it tuck in terms of -- he had that fire in ability -- in the ballet and was willing to do what it takes to becoming president by putting in the long hours. gary hart's campaign man
