none were more adamant than joseph smith's own brother hyrum smith. when rumors of polygamy start creeping out in 1841 ira smith leads a moral crusade to root out what he saw as rampant sexual improprieties and to do so he marshals the most powerful ecclesiastical body in the city known as the high council and this high council is operating at the same time joseph smith is doing his polygamist activity so you get these two brothers, joseph smith and his polygamist experiment, hiram, trying to shore up traditional morals heading toward a crisis. when hiram finally converts to polygamy in may of 1843 in an instantaneous and in some ways confusing though i can talk a lot reasons why i think he did so, when he converts to polygamy he had already created a machine to eradicate the principles he now embraced. in fact shortly after he converts to polygamy he takes the doctrine of polygamy to the high council, the vehicle he's been using to eradicate polygamy and so sorry to break it to you guys, three of the men serving on the high council had wives or daugh

they arrested justice smith. the city court meets and they passed a new resolution that does two things. he grants the municipal court authority to try to rid of habeas corpus of those that go outside of nauvoo. second, the city council grants the city court the ability to have the merits of those cases. be on just your resting process. so these arresting officers arrive and joseph smith just handed the writ of habeas corpus and these are befuddled how the heck do they respond to that. they leave and they go talk to the governor. joseph smith spends the next few months in hiding because even he realizes that this city council resolutions and municipal courts or not to hold while. eventually once again commenting here elected officials trying to court the support decided we are going to ignore the city council things that happened and we're going to try to free joseph smith through official means. he's taken before the city court. in that the the daniel pope finds a loophole and he grants joseph smith his freedom.

all we know may 1843 emma smith not only knows about polygamy but grant smith the opportunity for those two young sisters that already lived at home but there were two problems. number 11 sister had artie been sealed and then they go through another ceremony they were already sealed to joseph. the other issue is i am pretty sure when emma finds out she only knows it is the internal issue with no ramification of everyday life because the same day she witnesses her husband she catches joseph and eliza behind a locked door in their home to her it is eye-opening it isn't just eternal. [laughter] so she rejects it again. so she had accepted theoretically the doctrine the same week hyrum smith so to become a permanent defender and to become quite reckless in sharing that doctrine in their relationships hours over the next few months. at one point she agreed to take her husband of her own. at one point joseph smith tried to get her to sign over 60 lots of land and then he seemed to have a cooling. but then the next march emma smith goes on the fire path again and holds the series of meetings a

the overseer catches sally smith and then smith -- sorry, smith can tell that he's upset, right. and what he does, as smith describes it, takes a bucket of nails and hammer those nails in from the -- sorry, from the inside of the barrel to the out. so the nail heads are all wrapped around inside of this barrel. and then he put sally smith inside the barrel and rolls other aarround. essentially beaten up by a barrel full of nail heads. another interesting piece of this, of course, once she is out, she is sore, bruised all over, and there's another nice old lady that looks out for her. a poor old woman greased her all over and hemmed her glped her gr bruises so she could go back to work as required. you can see community dimensions of what's happening here. but it's important to recognize this punishment was a horrific experience. and so i wanted to talk about this particular punishment because i think truancy can feel like a really odd act. why go away if you're not going to get away. what does it matter if sally smith leaves the plantation, gets caught and punished in this horrif

smith: yes. reporter: can you tell us about any of the infected versus weren't wearing protective gear? or any health care workers? dr. smith: i don't have any information on that come on the -- i know all the places that the workers are -- have been trained and provided what they need to protect themselves, but these exposures likely occurred before the first case was identified. reporter: of the recovery, do we know how many people were on ventilators at one point? dr. smith: in terms of total iat have been on ventilators, have that information but i don't have it with me. point. me at this i will come back with that information later. reporter: any special emphasis womenice, suggestions for who are carrying or whose delivery may be imminent? fortunately, we haven't seen worse outcomes in pregnant women who were infected with covid-19, nor have we seen at particular risk to their babies, but we are watching that very carefully. we don't have a lot of experience with that. abouts been some press

senator smith we appreciate your coming into the studio for this interview. try to always a pleasure, , pet. thank you for having me. >> host: in this age of coronavirus how has this affected america's broadcasters? >> guest: in many ways it's affected us, but i think perhaps it's unfortunate, but it seems that the united states and our citizens become aware of broadcasting indispensable, irreplaceable role in the firmament of american life when there are natural or other catastrophes and calamities that befall us. because it is then that the architecture of broadcasting, one source of constant to everybody in a geographic area, without any stress on the system, people begin to realize how valuable broadcasting remains. survey after survey continues to show that broadcasting remains the most important source of journalism, when people just want the facts. but you know the n.a.b. since its founding in 1923 has had a big tradeshow, and only one of the time, i think it was a last year of world war ii, was the show canceled, but that has certain had an impact on

senator smith we have spoken before including on the show, but during more normal times. wanted to ask you, what are the precautions and different steps that your members are taking now whether it is internally, work from home they mentioned at the association. or changes they're making and programming and such? >> podcasters are also people who live in their local communities -- broadcasters are also people who live their local communities and they are trying to be good citizens. our members at abc or cbs or nbc or fox are heeding the warnings coming from the white house and cdc about ways that we can dissipate in reducing the spread of the virus. so they are pulling resources. they are pooling resources and crews who go out in ways that you normally do not expect competitors to be doing. but ways that are lawful and wait very important right now. because they want to stay on the air. at the heart of every broadcaster beats the heart of a public servant. we are the first informers. we continue to play our role. in a pooled fashion. many of our studios are teleworking whe

senator smith, you talk about standing down.ave you seen a hold on some of the issues that the national association of broadcasters is concerned about? such as media ownership or sec issues? >> well the congress before christmas recess finally settled the stella or the five-year debate that goes on and they made it permanent. it needed to be made permanent. it was a law that was 30 years old, renewed every five years, and it became basically an attack on broadcasting by new entrants into telecommunications. but fortunately congress in their wisdom said this is a law that was begun to help a nascent satellite industry compete with cable. 30 years have gone by and now dish has covered all 210 markets. unfortunately, my provider, at&t, does not. the,have left out 12 of frankly, very vulnerable rural markets where they do not want to serve in places like maine and montana. even kentucky. i know for example the people in bowling green, kentucky, they would like to see the news about mitch mcconnell. not about chuck schumer. because t
