rosenberg: >> feklisov: ethel never worked for us.g. >> cooper: based on this information, robert and michael meeropol launched a campaign to clear their mother's name. in 2015, they got 13 members of the new york city council to issue a proclamation declaring the government wrongfully executed ethel rosenberg. >> robert meeropol: it is time for the federal government to step up and do the same. ( applause ) >> cooper: last year, they launched a petition drive, calling on president obama to exonerate their mother before leaving office. but historian ron radosh told us, given the documents he's seen, that would be a mistake. >> radosh: she was an accessory to spying by helping, identifying people, urging people to be re... recruited, suggesting that her own brother be recruited. this is aiding those who are spying. it's aiding and abetting. >> cooper: you're saying even though she wasn't as involved as her husband... >> radosh: right. >> cooper: ...she still engaged in a conspiracy. >> radosh: yes. she considered herself a friend of th

thank you. >> thank you so much ethel. all right you heard from ethel richardson.ho actually told me earlier that i was talking about police had come to her door and actually broke her door down. people were reporting windows were breaking in the area as well from the intense heat. we haven't talked to anybody who had their windows broken but we did speak to some people who saw windows breaking in the area as well so keep a close eye on the fire as you can see now. it seems like the flames have died down. the crane has stopped spinning which is good news but there was smoke coming from the middle of that crane which worries me and that is a danger to firefighters. a lot of people i spoke with here are actually worried about the firefighters and the police that are on scene because it is very dangerous in there because of that crane. back to you in the studio. >> all right lydia thank you. as we look at your shot lydia and we also have up on the screen the transcamera perspective as well. the smoke is starting to turn color once again. you can see plumes on the left

of course strolling down the street in washington dc, ethel was married to his brother robert kennedy, who i photographed quite a bit. i did a lot of campaign photography with him. there are these iconic images that will take us through history. here jfk in 1953 getting married. is one of the most famous life magazine pictures, when caroline was born in 1958, this is taken by a fine photographer. it's one of those iconic images. life magazine and many of the publications covered the kennedys quite a bit. we can see in the early years the photographs from the golden age of journalism. that was before television became the communicator of the world. these are the magazines that were published then. and newspapers, the new york times, the springfield republican, and books that jfk wrote himself, the most famous book that won the pulitzer prize profiles in courage. you are not only seeing the history of jfk but how his image was communicated to the world at large. and the photographs in this exhibit are printed the exact same way they would have been printed in the '60's, 11 by 14 in size

after all, he had allowed the execution of ethel rosenberg to go ahead each when they had small children. he went ahead. he was very conflicted about it. so there were spies. having said that, there's no ed joe mccarthy ever identified one. >> what ever happened to david shine? >> david shine, that's an interesting story. david shine, a couple of years after this was all over married a miss universe candidate -- [laughter] and had six children. and so that confuses people. it's one reason i've talked about this relationship. but you know, all i i can say to you is we don't know, but the lgbt, the b stands for something, you know? [laughter] and some people are bisexual. i just don't know. having said that, you know, gay men in those days and still up to this time get married and have children. and so it's a very complicated life for them. and i know some of them have gone through that, and it's tough. so, but i'm satisfied at minimum, at absolute minimum roy cohn was infatuated with dave shine. and i have some evidence in my book that goes beyond infatuation. >> so if there are no more q

the very one that sent julius and ethel rosenberg to the electric chair.hey stole the plans to the atomic bomb. donald trump talk to an attorney about adoption law. both massive threats to the physical and moral security of this country. cnn thought so. it's three hour morning show spent a total of two hours and 16 minutes discussing russia today. that left just under 8 minutes for the new health care bill being debated in congress and 2 minutes for sports. pretty much nothing on anything else. 93% of air time devoted to russia. keep in mind, that show was shot in new york, not in st. petersburg. mark stein is an author and a columnist, and also canadian, so he knows what a moral frenzy looks like. he joins us tonight but mark, i've never seen -- she would've thought somebody lit a cigarette in a restaurant forgot to recycle. that level of rage. >> you want to take this seriously, that trump punk kid is headed for the electric chair. it's good enough to the rosenbergs, it's good enough for this kid. >> tucker: needless to say i agree as a responsible news

but he got divorced from ethel and then he and joan were not immediately together after that. >> joan wasn't ready to marry him. there was an aborted attempt at marriage. they finally did mary in 1969. conveniently ray married a woman named jane in the meantime because he cannot handle being a bachelor. when mcdonald's went public and 65 he bought this ranch and he called it the j&r double arch mcdonald's ranch. when he jettisoned jane to the side of the j&r double our ranch worked when he married joan. >> one of the crazy stories of their men in this book was when he left his second wife and he didn't even tell her, so please set the scene for where they were headed, they were jet setting and having a good time before the. >> when mcdonald's on public and 65 ray had been scraping along and doing well at different points in his career. but all the sudden he was one of the richest men in the country. he was also older and so he and his second wife chain had this ranch and were running all over the country, the world cruises and enjoying themselves. they were about to go off on their fo

that's julius and ethel rosenberg for giving the atomic bomb. okay? that is what president trump said on air force one, going way back in history here. the case of the rosenbergs interestingly is from 1953. they were both executed for giving away secrets to the russians here. donald trump was 7 years old at the time. and this is something that obviously, a case he remembers from his childhood, but certainly saying that, you know, going to the extreme there setting a high bar here, but the reality here is, john, this is something on the president's mind. it is frustrating to them. the white house is also now frustrated trying to get more of their stories together, because as shimon just was reporting, now that there is new information about that meeting, it discounts all the credibility that the white house has already been explaining this week by saying there was nothing to that meeting. and there was nothing that came out of it. this is something, again, why congressional investigators and likely the justice department also want to know more about it

kind of fred and ethel investor point of view, if the rule is to buy low and sell high, i'm not sayingsell i didn't hear howard exactly saying sell, but this is not low. and that's important you have to be vigilant and anytime you can get ninindividul investors, when things are all going so well and people are feeling like nothing can really go wrong, it's a time to stop and be vigil last nigant. >> enjoy the rest of your friday go back to the beach or whatever you had going on >> thanks for having me. fore >> all right, michael farr joining us on the phone. >> so the market would suggest, if there was a lot of concern over rapidly developed sell-off yesterday, all's okay. there's virtually no follow-through the s&p, i look here, is down 5. >> i think that the indices are masking the underlying rotation that's going on. and josh, i think, touched on this earlier look, we can look at, you know, a company like amazon is off 3% today, starbucks is off 8, 9%. other stocks are up. and the point is not, you know, to make something reflective of the whole market this is a stock picker's marke

ethel? >> one thing she does reminds me hospice care nurses doing, helping alleviate their pain, or helping them get better. taking care of them, while the doctors do whatever medicine they are doing at the time. prof. giesberg: yes, there is a sort of rewriting of comfort, which seems to be her main goal. making sure they are fed, making sure they are clean, making sure they are there when she is there -- when they need to write the letters, or many members they need to write letters. even sometimes delivering bad news to them. there was a moment where she was supposed to tell someone that -- he is not leaving the hospital. all right. so, who was doing the other works? the doctors, right question mark we know that. but, who is cooking? who was mopping the floors? there has to be a lot of blood and yuvk on those floors. --yuck on those floors. who is cooking, doing the laundry, with all of the cutting off of limbs and things like that? >> there were slaves around to do that sort of thing. ha

it features 200 photographs taken by dorothea lange and ethel adams that documents the process of japanese americans, many of whom were american citizens, of those incarcerated. their constitutional rights were violated by a man who i and many others think was one of our greatest champions of civil rights. of because of the hysteria the time and the pressure of the war, because of the nature of the japanese surprise attack on pearl harbor, these people were singled out and put in these camps. by looking at that narrative, at that story, we can examine the inner workings of the roosevelt administration, but more importantly put a lesson out there for people. here is what happened. why did it happen? how can we prevent it from happening? in the 1980's, a federal commission determined that the federal government should apologize. ronald reagan sent letters to every surviving member of the can't, and a restitution payment was made. by having the ability to be academically honest, to be intellectually rigorous and the way we are investigating this legacy, we have given great creek. we are sayin

ethel richardson, walk me through what happened this morning. >> what happened this morning, i was sleeping, i heard banging on the door, banging bang, banging and the police broke my front door and told me i had to get out. so i had to get out of my bed and they said got to get out, can't get anything. so i wasn't able to get anything. i left me cell phone. i did get my id and everything and that was it. that was it. and they told me i need to call the city to have them fix my door. >> reporter: so what were you feeling? >> scary. when i got up, you could feel the heat. you could just feel heat from the fire. it was like it's infernal. just see it. it's so scary. >> reporter: have you been watching this under construction? >> yes. yes. in fact they had just posted something on the door saying they were going to be working on saturday hopefully they wouldn't be causing a lot of noise and confusion to the neighborhood. and if we had any complaints, to call. now they won't be working. >> reporter: yeah. you said you lived here for 39 years. have you ever seen anything like this before? >> nev

we spoke to a woman named ethel richardson who told us that she was asleep.arplugs in her ears and did not hear anything until police came to her door and knocked down the door. they broke down her door to get her out. that is how she was able to get out. she only left with her jacket, pajamas and id. she left her phone, her car keys and everything inside. we have a group of people that i am standing next to. you cannot see them because i'm showing the firefighting act -- efforts. a lot of people live near the fire and are worried about what is going to happen. and as they are going to be able to get back and. there is good about the water damage. we spoke to a man who says he is not scared that has houses on fire because he saw his home is fine as far as the fire goes but he says he could see the water from the hydrant shooting into his home and window and he suspects there is probably a lot of water damage. there's a lot of water flowing to the streets as well. we did see a lot of firefighters from the berkeley fire department, the oakland fire department a
