and albany, new york in the new york state capitol building, finished in 1894. we are also pleased to have joined as a studio audience of albany area residents. some college students and historians, some people interested in al smith. they will also have a chance to ask some questions about al smith in the 18 -- 1928 election. we will put some phone calls on the screen so you can start to dial in now. this is the 6th in our 14 week series. john evers, what kind of a candid it was all smith in 1928? >> he was a fighter. if you look at him and d.c. the short stature, his gravelly voice comes out all across america. this is one of the first campaigns where radio plays a role. he campaigns from the back of trains which is very common. he tries to engage in america on issues that are important to americans. they did not want to talk about those issues. prosperity was there so they could not say they were the issues -- he was not candid of prosperity. he wanted to talk about prohibition. he came out as a fighter. his speeches were well reasoned. on paper he was a fant

when he ran for district attorney, for example, in new york county, new york county was one county and there were people all over the burroughs of new york city that day who wanted to vote for thomas dewey. thomas dewey wasn't on their ballot. he had electrified this city with his exploits taking on the rackets. and because new york, even more then than now, was the heart of american communications. you had the loose press. you had, obviously, the radio networks. i mean, to become a phenomenon in new york meant potentially a national phenomenon. tom dewey was the inspiration, i don't know if you ever saw the movies, but hollywood was cranking out a movie a week at one point in the late 1930's, inspired by his exploits. in 1939, 37 years old, the district attorney of new york county, is leading franklin roosevelt in the gallup poll by 16 points in a mythical matchup. it's hard to imagine. it went beyond hero worship, but it's hard to imagine -- i can't think of anyone since. i mean, lindbergh, in his own way, in his own sphere, you know, at one point had that kind of universal appeal. b

he campaigns around upstate new york. he turns out the new york city vote. he wins by a very slight margin. he get in there. in 1920, the legislature crosses its arms and says we will not do any of these things. >> the republican legislature? >> the republican assembly and senate. smith starts the campaign by saying, and will have a reconstruction commission capitalizing on the transition from a wartime economy to the private sector economy. he starts saying he is going to strengthen -- we are going to bond so we can have capital improvement spread out for many years in just -- instead of the infrastructure starts to crumble. he has a lot of these great ideas. the legislature says this guy will never win in 1920. that will be the presidential year. back then, do your governor's -- ran at thevernor's same time the president ran. smith gets reelected in 1920. he has very little to show -- he loses in 1920. he has very little to show what he goes up in 1920. they run a very conservative, upstate republican who wins. sure enough, al smith goes away. people thoug

here in new york story i guess it could be important. in terms of the i think i think i could buy wall street's more important issue right now yeah especially as it is going on literally in the backyard of the printing presses of the new york times. i know that. you harrison you just gave it interview with fox news. how did it go for you. it was pretty much what i was expected i mean they set a lot of traps for me and they pretended to be really polite but you know there's there's really a lot of hostility the a they ask a lot of questions that if you answer it would mean your sensually agreeing to a false promise they always ask a stupid throw away question if you answered you it would automatically assume that you have that you're agreeing with some larger promise isn't nearly a list of programming sure i believe actually. there's tricks didn't work i mean it was gone. but i guess i know you've been down there certainly in the thick of things. you know in new york on wall street in zuccotti park but i want to get your take not sure if

let's take a look at new york now. the city is preparing for up to a foot of snow, and they aren't alone. snow is expected from baltimore up to boston. and take a look at the radar, here's what it looks like now. one of the biggest problems, potential power outages. heavy snow could leave about a million people without electricity. >> the trees, still plenty of leaves on them. you have forecasters saying heavy, wet snow, high winds, those are all the perfect ingredients for potentially a large problem with the electric grid. >> all right. let's bring in our alexandra ste steele for a closer look. when is the snow going to start falling? >> here's a look at the big picture, it's rare but not unprecedented. you saw the radar. here is the rain, the green. there is the white. we already have the snow beginning to fall in western pennsylvania, western maryland, in western west virginia as well. so, what we're seeing with the rain will change over to snow in the northeast. here's the big scenario. a quick-hitter, a one-day e

back to our top story the occupy wall street protests in new york and the u.s. talk more about the situation and what it all means joining us now is stephen leatherman who is an author and a blogger at base for being with us stephen what do you think the outcome of these demonstrations will be. well what he did very closely. more about them or very concerned. they have a wonderful issues they're trying to address here are all important but they were called wish you nothing. changes. they go after the sole core issue as sole corner issue which is very simple is the power of money in private hands to make more of it at the post expense can i tell you some very important things. and they need leadership they need committed leadership city by city this is spreading all over the country i haven't seen anything like this in forty years this may have legs if they do it right but so far the following short let me mention a couple of very important base one july fourth nineteen seventies nine seventeen seventy six thomas jefferson and barry his third president. was the l

a nice thing about new york, the people who were crossing towards me all stopped. many stopped to help me. a number of them ran after the truck and made the driver stop. >> and what did he run over? what did the truck run over? >> he first ran over my right foot, which, for some reason, dragged me down into the gutter, and then the rear wheel went over my left femur. >> what were you thinking at the time, or can you remember? >> i cannot remember what i was thinking. i remember i did not lose consciousness, so i remember right after fairly well. >> and the doctor said if it had been two inches -- >> two inches higher, and he thought i would have been killed. >> why? >> because some of your major organs are a little bit higher up than that. >> so what happened right away at the accident? >> a policeman was the first to come to the scene and help me, and an ambulance was there very quickly. they had to move me onto like a wooden pallet to get me into the ambulance, and i remember being aware enough to give all of the numbers of both bill keller, my and then boss at t

we're in eastern york. if you go to the east on 30 or the lancaster, i drove down the turnpike, as i stopped there and gave the man my fare, i said, man, this is ugly. he said, at least you're on the road. and i'm like, what does that mean? he said half the people on the scanner are in the ditch, so be careful. it was a 35-mile-per-hour drive on the turnpike and on i-83 about four hours ago. it hasn't stopped snowing sense. i know the roadways are not good now. >> we're looking at the live radar where you are in york, pennsylvania. it doesn't look good as well. thank you, chad myers, very much. stick around. this is a developing story. some people have to spend the night out in the snow and the day as well but they did it voluntarily. they wanted to be there. the cold, wet weather testing the resolve of occupy wall street protesters in new york. that's where we find our susan candiotti standing by. susan, what are they telling you about this? are they letting it stop them? >> reporter: oh, no way. no way. t

there not a great deal of stigma to being neurotic in new york. it is accepted to the point of maybe being desirable in certain circles. i think now that these medications are more common, new york is the place where people are going to be comfortable with it and going to be open about it. >> you make a point of saying here that this is brain styling, not mind altering. you make a clear distinction between the two, do you not? >> yeah. i think people when they have actual problems like anxiety, depression or insomnia. they take these drugs. they become normal. they don't become drugged out. >> but you're differentiating certain kinds of drugs from very serious drugs, and you can speak to this, dr. doyle. >> sure. >> and that, say, schizophrenia. we're not in that category of drugs here, are we? >> it is highly unlikely for people in new york to pop antipsychotics for the fun of it. >> we're not talking about bipolar, are we? >> we end up talking about that, and that's in ariel's article. >> is it a national trend or just in manhattan? >> i'm sure

is anything like that happening in new york. it's hard to know. you know as on provocateur or generally get out years later sometimes it's obvious sometimes it's not i think one thing though is pretty clear about the new york occupy crowd and i think it's probably true in many places across the nation is that they are trying their hardest to to to both push the limits of the law in terms of the right to protest but to respect the law and to be hate legally and. they really want to ensure that the hundreds and sometimes thousands of people who come to demonstrate are able to demonstrate peacefully and within the confines of the law so for example you know occupy wall street is not interested in getting permits to protest they think that that's wrong so they don't and in new york you're allowed to protest you're allowed to demonstrate in march on the sidewalk as long as you leave in the area for pedestrians to pass without a permit for it to be in the street you need a permit so they have taken great pains to to walk on the sidewalk rather than go o

"the contenders," the focus the 1928 election and al smith. john evers, what kind of a candidate was al smith in 1928? >> he was a fighter. if you look at him and you see the short stature, the pugnaciousness of him, his gravelly voice comes out all across america. this is one of the first campaigns where radio plays a role. he campaigns from the back of trains which is very common. he goes out there and he tries to engage in america on issues that are important to americans. they did not want to talk about those issues. prosperity was there so he could not say they were the issues -- he was not the candidate of prosperity. that was the republican party. he wanted to talk about water power. he wanted to talk about prohibition. he came out as a fighter. his speeches were well reasoned. on paper he was a fantastic candidate. but he was swimming uphill the whole time. >> beverly gage, the electoral vote coun

as we arrived, we realized that they were close to 10 to 15 new york city police and new york city firewere conducting operations and had the scene secure at the time. they were conducted dive operations as well. we worked closely with our partners here in new york that have the ability and assets to conduct operations like that, live operations and basically, our role as of right now is to secure the scene and conduct a safety zone around it, if you will, to make sure that public stays out of the way while operations continue for recovery of the helicopter and so forth. >> the helicopter hasn't been recovered yet? >> that is correct. >> do we have any idea what happened here? was the helicopter taking off from the helipad? was it about to land? what was going on based on the information you're getting? >> there was really no information that was passed to us upon arrival on scene. the only thing that we did recognize was there was a helicopter in the water. the scene was to be secured. there were multiple four partner assets on scene. u.s. park police, nypd and basically just trying to

new york settlers. now how they did it today, you might not approve of completely. you could call it vigilante is the more he could call it terrorism. it depended. the first time they visited you, if you try to start a farm within new york deed, they took your fences down at night. and the livestock just one into your garden and into your fields. that would be enough for most people to say this is an going to work. if it didn't do the job, the next time they came and they take took your barno part. and if you are still there, they took the roof off of your house. the true the line it earning. i found no evidence that they ever set fire but every time they did it, more would be new york settlers went back to albany and swore out affidavits so there is a vast record of these atrocities or defense movements, however you want to characterize them, the showing of these claims so that in four years as allen and the green mountain boys successfully held off new yorkers as he called them, after four years ethan
