As a person. I do not like you as a profession because you are responsible for everything in the world. The president s dont rule this country, you do, sir, and your profession does. You tell us what to love, what to hate, whats important, whats not. You have a position of power and i think its being abused maliciously sometimes. We caught up with the 67yearold mcafee in portland, oregon, which is a far cry from the warm beaches of belize where hes wanted for questioning in the murder of his neighbor. So, what would you tell them if i am the belizean government asking you if you had any role in his murder . Absolutely none and they know this. They know im not involved in the murder. They havent questioned anybody else. So, i had nothing to do with it. I know nothing about it. Im willing to talk to them in any neutral country on the planet. Ive offered that. Ill talk to them on the phone. Ill talk to them through skype. You talk about selling yourself in terms of a movie that might be coming out and selling your story. Well, sex sells, is it true about all the women we read about in your life, five or six girls at a time, you have teenage girls . It is absolutely true. I have teenage girlfriends and many at a time. Nothing illegal and they are well beyond the age of consent. I see nothing wrong with it, and if you do, thats okay. Is this part of the whole deal that will sell to hollywood in terms of making the film about your life . I personally dont think its that interesting. I mean you must, because you know sex sells so you must think this is a selling point because everyone asks you about it or they want to ask you about it. A lot of things sell other than sex. Mystery sells, you know, all kinds of human drama sells, not just sex. Sex sells if youre making porn videos, absolutely. If you are making a porn video with no sex, its not going to sell. In the 1990s, everything it seemed like you had a, quoteunquote, normal ceo life, right . Clean and sober, wildly successful, speaking at the Stanford Business school quite often, donating to charity. Yes. When did it switch gears to this crazy lifestyle as you describe it . Okay, youre assuming because im a clean and sober ceo that my lifestyle is a standard lifestyle. No. Im saying that you were speaking at stanford. I was. You were donating to charities. Right. And seemingly within all the normal society bounds. I still speak at functions and i still donate to charity and im still talking to Business People like yourself. But my lifestyle has always been off the wall, im sorry, its just that it didnt reach the press until recently. How did money change you, 100 million from mcafee, more or less, when you walked away, you lost some, how did it change you. At first it made me a radical [ bleep ]. If i can use that word on television. Well bleep it out. There we are, because suddenly you have all this power and all this money. You can buy whatever you want and i did. I bought stuff i didnt need. Big boats. Never used them, you know, at one point i had 12 houses in every part of the world, hawaii and ecuador and every state in the union and the bahamas. Yes, i was being a jerk. It really is. We continued to chat with john mcafee. Just this week he tells me the Prime Minister in belize dean barrow has ordered that evidence be found at any cost to implicate mcafee in the murder of his neighbor. We reached out to the office of the Prime Minister who had no comment on case. We also checked in with the Police Department in belize. They say the investigation is, quote, dragging along. This story is far from over. One more thing we want to add. Mcafee said he admires only one person in the silicon valley, the late steve jobs. Incredible. I love steve jobs. I actually cried when i read his address to stanford. Did you ever read that . Yes, i did. It was profound. Love steve jobs. I cannot think of anybody else in this industry that i can say that of. Another controversial figure in the international spotlight, the man who sold current tv to al jazeera in his First Television interview after the sale, athertons joel hyatt has some choice words for his critics. Joel, youve been around the block. You nuf that the Public Perception here in the United States of al jazeera is negative. Uhhuh. Were you prepared for any sort of criticism that you guys are taking . I evaluated that very careful. Coming up, the reason hes so proud of the deal. Is it flattering to hear your name every hot list that comes up its Camilla Harris with a senator, governor, supreme court, attorney general of the United States, flattering or do you just kind of put it on the side . I am so superficial. Truly. I am completely focused on what im doing now. Also when is she heading to washington, California Attorney general Camilla Harris addresses the rumors about her next job and the unusual way she unwinds. How do you describe what happens here . Its called organized chaos, basically. But its culinary chaos at its best and its hard to get a reservation but we have one tonight. In the kitchen with one of the most celebrated chefs in bay area history. You cant move the tv there. Yuhhuh. We have a wireless receiver. Listen. Back in my day, there was no uverse wireless receiver that let you move the tv away from the tv outlet. We can move it to the kitchen, the patio, the closet and almost anywhere. Why would you want a tv in the closet . [ both laugh ] [ fancy voice ] brilliant idea, darling. [ female announcer ] the wireless receiver. Get uverse tv for just 19 a month for 1 year when you bundle tv and internet. Rethink possible. Completely understand the criticism and the point of view that youre reporting. But the fact is that al jazeera stands all around the world as a highly respected International Newsgathering organization. Isnt there something inherently hypocritical about taking money and a lot of money from an oil producer . The point youre making is one that i understand very clearly. I do disagree with it. Our colleague Andrea Mitchell sitting down with former Vice President al gore who has an office here in the bay area. Gore defending the sale of San Franciscobased current tv to al jazeera. In fact, gores Business Partner and friend athertonbased joel hyatt takes it a step further, no apologies and some sharp words for his critics. Whatever your belief, al jazeera is now coming to the u. S. Airwaves thanks to these two men. Well, i dont quite get this. We have another garden and well rip it off and put in another garden. The chance is youve never seen or heard of joel hyatt until now. The unassuming multimillionaire has pulled off a deal along with his Business Partner, former Vice President al gore, that has shocked the media world. Hello there, the headlines from al jazeera. We studied very hard what al jazeera was doing around the world to make sure we would be comfortable with it and al jazeera is carried on israels satellite system and if the israeli public is comfortable learning what can be learned from al jazeera, i think the American Public will be as well. Gone is San Franciscobased current tv. A groundbreaking network that never really got off the ground, but hyatt and gore soared. Selling current for a reported 500 million to al jazeera network, a tv network thats financed by the oilrich country of qatar. In his first interview since the controversial deal was announced, hyatt is proud, reflective and a little agitated. While some of the press has been negative, i will say highly hypocritical, its been basically fox news and the wall street journal both of which are owned by news corp. , and news corp. s second largest owner is the saudi royal family. So, this idea that theyre criticizing that al gore and i would do business with arabs is really quite remarkable and they dont even disclose that their company is is owned in significant part by arabs. But this is just sleazy, al. This is disgraceful. Is it ironic for you or as some critics say disingenuous that your friend and partner al gore would sell to a company, a broadcast network thats funded basically by oil . Not at all. Again, i get the sort of easy shot that but you can see where people are coming from . Of course, but heres what i know, both al and i, but to a much greater extent al, have had extensive conversations with al jazeera about the issue of Climate Change and we actually believe theyre going to do a very good job covering this issue in a way, that by the way, the United States press does not. Joel, youve been around the block. You knew the Public Perception here in the United States of al jazeera is negative. Uhhuh. Were you prepared for any sort of criticism that you guys are taking . I evaluated that very carefully, and at the end of the day, raj, what i believed was, it was clear that those who know are very impressed with al jazeera and with the high quality professional journalism it does. Those who dont know have a bias based on their lack of knowledge. But think about that, i mean, you know, ignorance breeds bias, breeds all kinds of problems in the world. And the whole point of journalism is to provide the information to the people who dont know so that they can become people who do. And and al and i didnt want to base a decision on those who dont know and the uninformed biases they may have. You had an allhands meeting at current with the new bosses at al jazeera at least a few of them. How did it go . Transitions always difficult. I think it went well and frankly i think the new leadership is responsible for that, i gave a talk and turned the floor over. But the fact is the staff was really eager to hear what the new leadership had to say and they were very, very good. Any disappointments at current leaving . Oh, sure. You know, you always have disappointments. I have disappointments about things we two have liked to have achieved and didnt. We were never able to bring the largescale resources necessary to compete. And this is the real lesson to me. The Media Industry requires largescale resources. But the reality will al jazeera be able to make a move forward . Absolutely. Absolutely. And they can do the marketing we couldnt afford to do and i think it will make a very big difference. We mentioned joel hyatt lives in atherton and gore is frequently here in the bay area, he works for the Venture Capital firm kliner perkins. Shes always put together and on point but tonight the side of Kamala Harris you havent seen. Recently and i hope we get out of San Francisco, have you tried soul cycle . A candid and comical conversation with californias attorney general. Welcome into my house, how can i make you happy . And Award Winning chef gary danko takes us where very few cameras have gone before, behind the scenes of his legendary San Francisco restaurant. See that . That is not art and it is barely drawing but it is a its a quick illustration. Bravo. An illustration. Bravo indeed, who knew he was an artist . This is president clintons former labor secretary robert reich 411 but he stands tall in the world of economics. Reich draws his own cartoons to illustrate complicated economic ideas. We recently chatted and drew with professor reich at his office on the cal campus. He is a fascinating man, to see the full segment we invite you to go to our website nbcbayarea. Com the interview. How about another political heavyweight from the bay area, Kamala Harris is not only a hot topic here in town but also in washington, could president obama tap her for a National Appointment . Harris talks to us candidly about politics and how she unwinds in her personal life. Now to a woman named one of americas most powerful women by newsweek magazine. Welcome to the charmed political life of Kamala Harris. Local locally, weve seen the 48yearold oakland native rewrite the history books. Sit. You must sit. As she climbed the ladder. Nationally washington insiders say its only a matter of time before she heads to the capitol. Flattering to hear your name, every hot list, its Kamala Harris, senator, governor, supreme court, attorney general of the United States. Flattering or do you just kind of put it on the side . I am so sick of it. Truly. I am completely focused on what im doing now. So many people who are focused on that thing out there they trip over this thing here. Its not worth it. It seems like you have a dynamic relationship with the president , with president obama, dating back to back in chicago, before he was the president. If he were to call you right now, how would the conversation go . Tell me about your relationship with him. Well, i mean, first and foremost, its a relationship built on profound respect. You know, theres a whole group of really i think dynamic elected leaders. Who are finding each other and feeding off of each other and working with each other. Is it a friendship . Is it something more of a mentorship . Its a friendship. Its a friendship. If there are critics of you, they say maybe you overly ambiti ambition, you have a book, you have been a oprah, on the tid sh today show, is it unfair . I do believe that life is short enough that, you know, get things done. I love my work. I love my work. I feel challenged by it. I feel it is important work. I have seen through the course of my professional life that, you know, if you focus on it a certain way, you can get things done. You can have a huge impact on the lives of other people, people youll never meet, by the way. People will not necessarily ever know your name and that drives me. That certainly drives me. Her critics also say she knows how to drive the headlines, sometimes being accused of grandstanding. She outlined her new battle against human trafficking. I wanted to see the tunnel that connect california to mexico. And see the tunnels through which there has been an incredible amount of trafficking of guns and drugs and human beings. I heard stories of children as young as 5 years old being trafficked through this tunnel. It became clear obviously that it is about people making a great deal of money off of trafficking of human beings, and theyre doing it in a way that is trafficking for the purposes of sex work and forced labor. Behind the scenes without the cameras here, whats your ideal saturday for you . Oh, im usually i have events on saturday. Ask me about a sunday. Tell me about your iteal sunday. Cut that. It depends. I love to cook. I love to cook. Thats my ideal day. Recently and i hope we get it in San Francisco. Have you ever tried soul cycle . No, tell me. Its fabulous. Its this thing that came out of new york and now its in l. A. And i did it when i was in l. A. For the meetings that we were having there. And its fabulous its, like, a bunch of stationary bikes in a room oh, its a fitness thing. Yes. Its not an eating thing. No, its so fabulous, because im much too old to go to the club, right . But its like being in a club and its kind of dark and theyre playing, like, this throbbing hiphop and you just cycle. I did that recently, and it was really fun. Thats your ideal day, the soul cycle . Shes not too old to go to the clubs. Plenty of smiles but she does mean business. Earlier this month harris made national headlines, again, by sui suing standard poors. From top cop to top chef, we have a hardtoget reservation with gary danko. The secret to his success, plus his surprising guilty pleasure. So, here is the kitchen. Hes just humming. See how calm he is . Its a work of art with famed chef gary danko. Maybe the only thing harder than getting a reservation at his prized restaurant is getting behindthescenes access to his kitchen. But tonight, guess what . We are in with one of the most private yet celebrated chefs in bay area history. A few things come with the territory. Cable cars, that beautiful bridge, and gary danko. Foie gras going first. Mix it up however you want. Sends it out. Welcome into my house. How can i make you happy . Danko has been a celebrity chef before the term even existed. His 65seat slice of heaven has been zagats number one rated restaurant in the bay area for most of the past ten years. Does it register to you anymore . For my ego, i kind of try to remain humble in every situation because i really im a kind of behindthescenes person. I like to not be seen, have all this sort of chop, chop and all the things that go on behind the scenes. And behind the scenes you find the chaos. Four course crab salad second. When it comes in, it means automatically fire that first course so everybody puts that out. It comes, bob coordinates it, sends it out, draws the line and hangs it over in a neutral zone here. Outsiders point of view i have no idea what you just said. So many things going on. How do you describe what happens here . Its called organized chaos basically. Lets be very clear here. This is not just food, its art. And theres a huge gap between in a restaurants that really welcome you in and want to take care of you versus one you know, anybody can open a restaurant, its really true. But how long you keep it there, you know, thats when you start to get into the nuts and bolts, why do people keep coming back . And below the hustle and bustle of the kitchen is one of the best wine cellars in northern california. Will you keep your personal wines here or do you have them at the house . No, i have a ton of wines at the house. Any guilty pleasures . Will you do an in n out doubledouble . The doubledouble no cheese and, of course, the french price which to me you have to eat them first, because once theyre cold, theyre not the same. Thats a guilty pleasure. What else . Gummy worms. Your last meal. Mostly simple food but i eat that every day, so if i went out, it would be cav yea, my sig
