Man. laughter you know, and ive been paepgs. I imagine you guys as well. Theres a little bit up manship between governor jerry brown and governor chris thank you. Last year wasnt right governor chris thank you referred to our governor as a retread and it was responded to by john he said i exchange governor christie to do stand ups in a heated race. So, now youre thinking about this after that jp morgan Washington Bridge closures for two lanes im worried about my commute today laughter the chances of jerry shutting down the entire bay bridge and biking it back to where he came from thank you, very much laughter that is what he thinks he is so why is that hard. Im just delighted you came to help celebrate and this occasion. I must tell you that im overwhelmed but all of you. I think i would have to pause for a moment and ask every person whos here that served with me in the california legislation or the assembly during those tumultuousus thirty years if youll rise and let people see who you are. Obviously, we cant introduce all of you, please rise and let people see who you are my mother minnie. Many years ago clapping passed on she would have been a one hundred and 5 here today, the 11th of february. At one time when she was evidenced some degree of illness we decided to have a reunion every february 11th to let her know how much we loved and respected her. We had no idea thechs faking it it took those 11 years or more but the family hadnt been together frankly and thats in many, many years. When president huffman and the Assembly Members in the black caucus led by mr. Hall said they were going to do this bridge thing and they did it now lets have the unveiling of the sign they said no lets wait until black History Month and do it on my mothers birthday and that will mean something to family and the american people. So my family came from whatever they were my sister has 12 children and another sister 9 boys. One sister had one brother and one brother had none but they were willing all here so, please give my family a round of applause for sharing this day and moment clapping you want them to stand up. Why do i have to also give orders. Only about half of them stand up laughter they came in as early as saturday and theyve been here all the days moving around renewi renewing friendships because theyve traveled with me and i share this moment with them on this occasion of bridge naming. I also share it with a whole host of number one family members. I have treasured my friendships with a collection of people from around the country politically and socially and culturally and educationly and Business World you name it. And those friendships and those relationships have just meant a whole lot and you who have shown up on this occasion a couple of you i didnt know were alive and you showed up. Even earlier this morning i walked through the door and said wait a minute where do did you come from. But im floored with the incredible level of you who have shown up for this occasion and im deeply honored. You made it possible for me really to begin to brag legitimately laughter now, mr. Mayor, mr. Mayor craig suroneonone was on the command staff when i was mayor i dont understand why he didnt have better control now but hes cheap laughter it has been frankly laughter eleanor had that responsibility laughter and this business one of the components of leadership is also making sure mr. Mayor you have somebody to blame laughter and the one you select make sure theyre a solid in foundation so they can take it and absorb it and keep on moving. Many of you around this as i look around we thought, you know, two or 3 hundred people would show up and lvld theres a hell of a lot more people showing. There are a few chairs in a small place but we wanted to celebrate i didnt realize you didnt have nothing to do on a saturday morning and needed a cup of coffee. There was a great debate on the staff side presentation of this event said we better do a tent because it had rained in california in almost a year we need to do a tent because we dont want people to get wet etc. And no you cant do it on the inside and they gave us the count down date and it kept raining and raining and i said lets do that on my mothers birthday and they dont know that woman shes got a relationship with the lord. Under the circumstances the sun will be shining on her oldest boy on the dated when you do the bridge clapping and so credit my mother with the sunshine. And clarence were up correct to ask that question because when alice finally, called me they did this in secret he didnt want me to be involved taught u at all for fear id cause it to fall. They were keeping it out of my sight completely until some reporter named a journalist called me up and asked how did you organize straight this bridge for being named after you. I said what are you talking about he said theyre talking about naming the by a bridge after you. And i said that is to the o not possible im two controversial and im alive laughter and, of course, they said well they are. I called eleanor and said eleanor find out whats happening with the bridge naming and she got back to me and i called alice and alice hung up she didnt want to hear me she was going to do it no matter what. Im glad she hung up its occurred im now about to have the unveiling of the bridge itself but they screwed up they got the wrong end of the bridge. I share you a view thats what happens to black people in america you get the achievement and they change the rules. Thats kind of the way it works laughter but it is an incredible on a serious note frankly an incredible achievement and something i want to enjoy day in and day out. I love the cat on the streets read it was going to be named after me he said im kind of a tea bargain guy i dont like you at all but im going to enjoy rolling over you everyday laughter i always want to be accommodating. Ill tell you how significant this is from the africanamericans started up. This kids in the school yard i go to make a speech to the school and i know, you know, ive been out of politics for awhile officially. laughter unelected for a while and i warranted through the school yard and the little kids stopped and kept checking me out im hoping theyll think im j z or small business. I go in the school and as i start to come out this little 8yearold black kid who has all his Little Friends lined up because he clearly in this highly integrated school has been telling them about me and probably bragging about me he said hey administers who did you used to be . laughter madministers who did you used to be . laughter iadministers who did you used to be . laughtesadministers who did you used to be . laughtetadministers who did you used to be . laughteeadministers who did you used to be . laughteradministers who did you used to be . laughter dministers who did you used to be . laughter sters who did you used to be . laughters who did you used to be . laughter s who did you used to be . laughter who did you used to be . laughter , who did you used to be . laughter . Now im going answer that question. I am honored and grateful i must tell you with the whip and breath of the elected family of california at every level that showed up from the attorney general to the secretary of state all of whom are here to the members of the state and the state assembly and the mayor of San Francisco and the mayor of oakland and the voice mayor of richmond and one of the small towns near your place. Harry this one but i dont i know its california. laughter but just the collections of the members of commissioner caisley and board of supervisors. The delegation from atlanta couldnt get here because they couldnt leave expect one member of the delegation left a day early and the achieve city council councilmember is here and a whole bunch of other people who came from atlanta from connecticut and frank is here doing what they do well, to celebrate this occasion. I wish i could cite each and every one of you who are activity and applicants for continuation. Im just overwhelmed by the show of support and i hope that is as the years unfold and if the projections stated by mr. Hall were true and that in the form that others will use that bridge if others will use my life and what ive done and the methods and levels of service in spite of the terms that newsom has used to describe if they use my life as a means to participate in making Public Policy exports and imports Public Policy then theyll be doing it on behalf of other people. Thats the basis of my life and the basis that i think ultimately of my success and im just delighted that the affirmation of that produce is now enshrined by name in the second most often used bridge in this great country. And i say to each and every one of you im just delighted and ill continue to be delighted. I do and i will practice bragging rights every time i get a chance clapping i may even enhance as i according do i may enhance why the reasons the bridge. I was at an event recently and i said something to somebody and i remembered that there was a guy who owned a phrase that i absolutely loved. And turned out to be one of my friends. I said to him as i close my remarks on the bridge naming i want you to say exactly what i wished had been my original closing line and iowa with that, let me ask my friend to say that at this moment. My life has been for me a work of art in every way and i simply tell you i guarantee it i guarantee it laughter clapping .
