robert frank is vitally important. in some ways that photograph counters the optimism of the family man. interesting undercutting that optimism and the universality of the family man. i should say, frank used a lika. this is not a lika, this is a cannon, but very similar. it's very easy to photograph, you put it up to your eye. it's connected to your body. shoot off like this. shoot over here. it allows for a versatile understanding of photography and allows me to catch images on the fly. imagine frank on the street capturing images, allows his versatility. this shows how he sort of thinks about capturing images. and in the mid-50s he won a guggenheim fellowship, a prestigious fellowship that allowed you to take on major projects. the project was to drive around america, and so between '55 and '56, he took several short trips from new york and also took one long nine month cross country road trip. so driving. and brought his cameras and took many photographs around the country. and he shot over 20,000 pictures. so a ma

please come up and say a few words, frank. thank you. [applause] frank: thank you, mr. president, for inviting me here today an and let people know the work that the foundation is doing. my siblings and i, we started the foundation in honor of my brother, a new york city firefighter. on september 11, 2001, he ran from the brooklyn battery tunnel, almost two miles long. it is almost two miles long, he came up and went into the south tower, the stairs, and while saving people's lives, he gave up his own. and then, we have been honoring our military and first responders ever since. for our country's most catastrophically injured servicemembers. for our first responder families who died in the line of duty and believe young families behind. mr. president, when you said we are at war with an invisible enemy, we couldn't have been more proud to know that we are doing our job and what we are supposed to be doing as a local foundation, as a national foundation, to make sure we take care of the frontline health-care workers. we follow the teachings of st. francis of assisi, who

trump: thank you very much, frank. in this hour of need, the world has once again witnessed the unbeatable strength of the united states of america. all across our land, heroes have raced into action. doctors and nurses and during sleepless nights to save every life.le farmers, truck drivers and grocers are working to keep our shelves stocked and our people fed. people inre helping need and entire communities are rallying together to defeat this ugly, horrible plague. the five americans we recognize today are the first of a number of individuals we will honor in the coming weeks. we will be honoring a number of people. the nation just completed 30 days to slow the spread during which every american was asked to make sacrifices to help defeat the virus. models predicted between 1.5 million and 2.2 million people would have died in the united states without the mitigation. through our aggressive response and the remarkable commitment and bravery of american people, we have saved thousands and dozens of lives. even make t

frank desired higher education. he was looking forward to going to college but when he turned 18, the civil war broke out. he enlisted in the missouri state guard because he supported the confederacy. he fought with that guard and a couple of battles and then he returned home due to injury or illness. while he was home, he was arrested by the local militia and they refused to let him go until he signed a note of allegiance. of allegiance. onee months after the raid kansas i mentioned earlier, union soldiers invaded the samuel family farm one to know information about four's location. they questioned jesse, who was 15 at the time. he refused to tell them anything so they horse whipped him. they took dr. samuel, and they strung him up and hung him in the backyard. he survived the ordeal but the experience left jesse embittered and very angry so he joined anderson's guerrilla forces the next year when he was 16 years old. jesse tried to ride into lexington, kansas, but the union soldiers shot at him. they wounded him s

frank: thank you, governor. angie? angie: thank you, frank. governor whitmer, we want to continue to talk about the reopening plan. specifically the timeline for each region. we have viewers watching this evening across several regions who are scared about their health and finances. they want to know if there will be multiple weeks or even months between each region reopening to track any potential spikes. gov. whitmer: the quick answer is that i hope not. what we have seen from the michigan public is that by and large people have done the right thing. that is why we saw this huge spike actually flatten out. i can issue all of the orders in the world, but it is actually the people who are stepping up and doing the right thing to make a difference. i am grateful, our nurses and doctors are grateful. our police and fire are grateful. there are leaders doing everything they can to make sure people understand what is really at risk here. we are doing our part, and i am so inspired by that. what we know at this point is we feel comfortable turning

frank, of course, in the restaurant business.rank, you have a question about capacity. >> yeah, i wanted to know, how i'm supposed to pay 100% of my bills with only 25% of the occupancy that the government is telling me i'm supposed to do, with 6 feet separation. >> well, first of all, we know 3 feet is good rather than 6 feet, and second, this micromanaging, nitpicking 25%, 32.3%, it's ridiculous, they are arbitrary numbers, and you should make the judgment and let people judge if they think a place is safe and unsafe, and we now know, we, the elderly, are more vulnerable, if youe, have certain conditions, you are more vulnerable. trustly the people, the information is out there, postil information, provide the masks, though i'm sure you're finding ways to allow us to eat and have the masks nearby, but these arbitrary numbers are just nonsense. they should be gotten rid of. use your judgment, and the people will make the decision, is of the safe or unsafe? you've got to have revenue. >> laura: i think the idea of measuring seats

frank, thanks for coming on.ast but not least is ew bidder who runs a hotel in vermont with his brothers, his business survives on a tourism-based model being absolutely destroyed by vermont's onerous travel restrictions on people coming into the state from out-of-state. that the lifeblood of the state hospitality industry, of course. thank you for being with us tonight, ew. great to see all of you. we are also going to bring in some financial experts to answer your questions and just moments, and i know a lot of you want to know what we're going to look like on the other side of this, but first, i want to get to your stories, because they are frankly the story of so many millions of americans across the country, and my first question is do you, george and nick, we will start with you, george, what was the final straw and made you decide, come hell or high water, you were going to open up and go back to work in defiance of the governor's order of? >> so, what happened is, he gave us a 15 day mark, march 18th or 1

the experience of alan frank, glenn frank's son who still lives in kent, it broke glenn frank. it broke him physically and psychologically. he was never the same again. and to me, frankly it has always been a mystery why there is no statue of glenn frank on the kent state campus. there should be. host: we have a photograph of what it looked like when the students were fleeing the area where they were shot on the day of may 4, 1970. to follow up on your point on what has happened, laura davis was a student at kent state and she reflects in an oral history she did on the moments you just described. >> i looked over the scene and saw what seemed like dozens of clusters of people standing in groups looking down at the ground. i realized that what i was seeing in this huge scene, was people standing over bodies on the ground. what people did was, go over to johnsone by stauffer and stage a sit in. it was like being in a class. people were sitting in rows and what made it more like a class for me was that my geology instructor, glenn frank, was pacing back and forth in front of the r

we are going to send it over to frank. frank: all right, thank you, mike.overnor, people are so eager to bring some sense of normalcy to their lives. now that we have taken a look at the different regions, we would like to get to a question we have been asked many times. when will restaurants for dining reopen and what about hair salons and pet groomers? what are experts saying about what they can expect? gov. whitmer: we are all eager to get back to some semblance of normalcy. this has been hard. this has been hard for the business owner who has been worried if their business will survive. it is hard for the person who lost their job, because they closed bars. it is hard for the parents who have kids at home and are worried about their learning loss between now and when we can resume in-person instruction. and yet, we know that these actions were incredibly important to take. we have lost more people to we have lost more people to covid-19 than we lost in vietnam, and we are not out of the woods yet. as we reengage, we are asking questions and doing analys

joining me now is correspondent frank smith in seoul frank we've just seen new video from the state news agency there that appears to show kim jong un alive and well this is pretty much settle any speculation over the leader's health i think really it does this came out from korea's central news agency it shows footage of him walking and talking in cement lee smoking which i find remarkable if he did undergo heart surgery just less than 2 weeks ago and i think it does whether he succumb to some type of operation or not and it also i think settles the timing we saw people in the video wearing masks and so obviously this this is taking place quite recently yeah the mass might be the most convincing trait there why was there or why was all there why was all the speculation there in the 1st place about his health just remind us on even about his death over the past week or so well you know one way that when we think about north korea we've got it we've got to think about a few things one is it's a very opaque sort of media atmosphere the information that we get out of north korea is all very

joining me now is correspondent frank smith in seoul hello frank how reliable easiest information coming from the state news agency showing kim jong moon alive and well well i'd have to say that korea central news agency is much more reliable vote the reporting of kim jong un in the north korean elite then you know the websites that were suggesting he was in a way vegetative state or or perhaps even dead over the past week or so the photographs that were shown particularly a photograph of him with his sister in the background indicate that that kim jong un is in fact alive so all indications dead easy in fact. alive but or are north korea watchers able to actually authenticate that these are in fact recent pictures of the north korean leader well that's a good point you know i mean we need to perhaps maybe see some pictures of him some video of him for you know real true definitive proof of his status but looking at some of the other pictures i think there were indications that this was a recent event there was a photograph of the thousands of people that that you mentioned releasing bal

and it was frank. so frank was really the inspiration, the book in many ways, he was the person who put the story in my head . he was also just a fascinating character. he lived a life that felt like something out of a movie. he was bit by a coyote as the child. he traveled europe in the 30s. he went from being a conservative methodist you in beverly hills to beinga radical communist . he had multiple second acts in his career. he ended up kind of after the book is over he goes to jail, federal prison. a process that happened in the un-american activities committee and frank, he just was a handful and also he was somebody who's kind of ambition and career were similar, i don't know, thrown into chaos by forces beyond his control and i was curious about that . >> when you were in the book going through it and devouring it, i could see their almost parallel lives in a way. there's still a part but also you have scenes in the book where you take one person in another year into that moment where there are

joining me now is correspondent frank smith in seoul frank it's good to see you how reliable is this information coming from the state news agency showing kim jong un alive and well well certainly i would trust the information coming in from korea central news agency much more than the reports that we got over the past couple of weeks there are a couple of indicators that we need to look at at these pictures one is of course it's kim jong than himself that it's certainly doesn't look like a double in the background you see can you know john his sister younger sister and perhaps an heir to the leadership of north korea as much speculation there's been a boat that this week she's also the vice. director of north korea's propaganda and agitation department so she's vested in seeing. the north korean media and kim jong un portrayed in a very positive light it would be an astonishing photo i think for north korea to try to you know hoodwink or fool or lie to the north korean public in this way suggesting kim jong than was alive when in fact he is dead so you know in this case i think it r

well joining me now from seoul is correspondent frank smith frank south korea until this very moment was a role model in how it was supposed to handle as a nation i can run a virus outbreak now begs the question after this relapse did the easing of restrictions come too soon well i think we were need to look at and remember a couple of distinctive characteristics of the corona virus covert 19 1st off it's highly contagious and secondly people that are not showing symptoms can pass on the virus to others and according to initial reports that was the case here with a visitor to e.t.a. one here in the south korean capital seoul that managed to infect several people and now we see that the government's trying to contact many many others and others are being infected across the country. the south korean president moon is now even warning of a 2nd y. eve of infections how can the country prevent this. well i think it's very interesting the tradeoff that we have between the economy and public health and answering when you open up is going to be a difficult question so korea is going to ramp

glenn frank becomes deeply emotional and his speech to the students -- glenn frank wasn't excimer. he has a flat top -- glenn frank was an ex marine. just pleads, he is crying, you are going to be slaughtered wholesale. the students finally back off. that bursts the bubble. experience -- his son agreed it broke glenn frank. he was never the same again. a mystery whybeen there was no statue of glenn frank on the kent state campus. host: we have a photo of what looks like with the students fleeing the area where they were being shots fired. davis, who was a student at kent state as she reflected 10 years ago. [video clip] >> i looked out over this scene dozens what seemed like of clusters of people standing in groups, looking down at the ground. seeing in what i was this huge scene was people standing over bodies on the ground. over tople did was go the slope and stage a sit-in. it was like being in a class. people were sitting in rows. what made it more like a class for me was my geology instructor, glenn frank, was pacing back and forth in front --the rows of people and he as he di

l g b t q individuals without their consent well for more let's cross to solve where correspondent frank smith is standing by frank tell us more about this latest outbreak south korea has relaxed its coronavirus restrictions hasn't it. yes it has relaxed its coronavirus restrictions here as of wednesday they've gone to something called every day life quarantine as the new numbers of new cases in the country have declined sometimes to 0 often bill 10 with most of the cases being imported coming from through the airport through incheon airport this outbreak though in e.t.a. one in the south korean capital seoul. korea south korea's center for disease control says there's upwards of 2 dozen so far discovered there were 1500 people that had logged into those nightclubs they have yet to contact courting to sources earlier today 1300 of the people that had visited those clubs in the capital so there's a lot of work to do and it's expected that the number of new cases will increase and what have advocacy groups being signing frank about the trouble. individuals could be facing at this time. wel

i was high school student and a man named frank who's one of the central characters in the book spoke to my u.s. history class at clover high school and he told the story of his life, and he was housing official with the city of los angeles who was kind of dramatically blacklisted in 1952 for his secret membership in the communist party. the reason that he was outed as a common is this because he trying to develop a public housing project in the land where dodger stadium now sits. his story began with the straits dodger stadium should not exist. i was a kid who loved baseball and that was shocking to me and it -- that story, and as a group and became a journalist and a writer, i never really let it go and i think on some level i wanted to add my contribution to the story of dodger stadium and the communities that preceded it that whole time. >> when you heard that phrase, dodger stadium should not exist, i mean, that's one thing to know but people may not realize the history behind -- [inaudible] >> he gave us a very brief run done. you read the book, you will see that he was very tru

some had hope that frank gore would end his career with the 49ers.at's not going to happen for at least another year. gore signed on with the new york jets for his 16th season. how do you like it? they are now the fourth different team he's been part of since leaving san francisco in 2014. frank will be 37 later this month and is now third on the all time rushing list. crediting only emit smith and walter peyton. selected in the third round by the 49ers. it was considered a risky pick because of his knee injury suffered in college. he remembers every running back selected ahead of him in 2005. >> that's pretty fast. >> those five players gore listed have less than 1,000 more rushing yards combined than he does. all of them are out of the league. next stop for frank, canton, ohio. pro-baseball is sidelined here in the united states. not the case in south korea. the kbo had its opening day yesterday in the wee hours of the morning. we're talking early. of course, rain delayed the game. that was shown on tv here in the u.s. the stadium was empty. so nob

well for more let's bring in journalist frank smith in seoul frank why are authorities so concerned about these flare ups because the infection numbers relative to population don't seem very high. yes they are pretty low relative to the population but we need to remember the previous outbreaks that took place here in south korea early in the coronavirus history in the city of daegu it was just one person attending several church services that spread the virus to what became really thousands and then recently here in the south korean capital in the entertainment of e.t.a. one you had one person now that's infected more than 250 with this recent outbreak in which on that's just outside of the capital at a logistics center you have now you know i think it's more than 200 people that have been infected and so it's it's really kind of spreading and it gets more difficult the more people that are involved to perform the kind of contact tracing in testing that can help contain such a cluster outbreak ok so what is the government there doing to contain this latest outbreak well it's doing that co

smith in seoul frank how reliable is this information coming from the state news agency reporting that kim jong un is alive and well. well 'd i think the information reporting that he's alive and well coming from north korea's state media is a lot more reliable than the information that we received over the past couple of weeks that that he had undergone some surgery which may be true but that he was gravely ill or in fact in a vegetative state as some media outlets suggested or even brain dead i think there's a couple of giveaways there number one in the photograph of kim jong il and number 2 in the background is his sister and potential heir cumulate jong who is the vice director of north korea's propaganda and agitation department i think it would be a horrible mistake for north korea to suggest that kim jong un when it was alive when in fact he was dead so 'd i think this is really a reliable report from north korea saying and showing that kim jong un is alive when i'd like to talk about that sister you mentioned what do we know about how they can a family dynasty works for example

and joining me now from seoul is correspondent frank smyth hello to you frank now south korea has been considered a role model and his handling of coronavirus now we're seeing this relapse did the easing of restrictions come too soon. i think that's really a very very difficult question we need to recognize a couple of things we know about the coronavirus coded 1000 number one it's highly contagious number 2 people can spread it with when they are not showing symptoms in the initial media reports indicate the patient that visited e.t.a. wanting to visit several nightclubs didn't have any symptoms when he visited there so that makes it extra difficult to determine that question that really. balances the economy with public health and that's a very very difficult question to answer i think well we've heard from the president that 2nd wave of infections is a possibility how can south korea prevent that well it has quite successfully gotten you know off an infection level down to even 0 per day domestically through its intense testing and contact tracing which it's doing now to try to trac

following the story for us is correspondent frank smith in seoul frank can you give us the latest on this border shooting. well as you mentioned according to south korea's joint chiefs of staff at 741 this morning north korea fired what are believed to be 4 shots to a south korean guard post and share one county that's along the d.m.z. border between north and south korea south korea also immediately broadcast a warning to north korea that they cease this firing and responded with 2 separate volleys of several shots on their own this violates according to the joint chiefs of staff a comprehensive military agreement that the 2 koreas signed back in 2018. now as you know the border between these 22 countries is the world's most heavily fortified should we be worried about an escalation that's correct we do need to remember the d.m.z. is anything but that it is an unmanned sort of buffer zone between the 2 koreas but on either side of that is an extraordinary amount of fencing within it there are a lot of land mines and there are $2000000.00 troops faced off against each other in north

and that was surprising for me as you know from what you dug up in their store of whole record how frank you know how clear sighted they were from the beginning haim weissman and others and so talk about that well they were clear sighted and they were fraying but they were more frank in private than they well public because in public they were quite disingenuous really right i mean the british restricted them to a formulation called a national home for the jewish people in palestine that was not there or a valid objective which was a sovereign jewish state right control over immigration which would have a jewish majority in all of palestine right would imply that entailed ethnic cleansing because at the beginning think you have a figure in the early 20th century jews were 6 percent to 6 percent 917 yeah and 94 percent i mean what's always i lived in israel what always has struck me is this historical amnesia where from the 7th century when. palestine becomes part of you know in a muslim entity all the way up to 948 is utterly a racist for the historical record. well that's that's i mean

when she realized she had become pregnant, she told frank. he asked if the baby was his and she confirmed it was. the baby was born in april of 1863. frank told lucy that he wanted her to take the child and get out of his home. she replied she would leave if he gave her support, but he refused. when lizzie learned frank was going to kick her out of the house, she decided to confront him in front of his wife. the next morning as lizzie packed up her belongings, just her baby and knocked at the bedroom door. -- dressed her baby and knocked at the bedroom door. frank stayed in bed, well his wife got out of bed and and -- while his wife got out of bed in answer the door. lizzie turned to frank and said, look at me. look at the baby. remember what you have done to me. he, sitting in bed, simply replied, well? she then reminded him he had promised to give such -- financial support for the child, and she said, i will disgrace you on them tomorrow -- on the morrow, if he did not supply financial support. at this, prewitt became angry and turned to hi

frank is going to go first and introduce yourself. >> yeah, my name is frank popper. i teach city planning rather than history, although increasingly i take a historical approach to city planning. i do that at rutgers and at princeton. the reason i'm here is that nearly half a century ago i wrote a small book for the 20th century fund, now the century foundation in new york city on presidential commissions and it's one of the very few sources, i think, on them and a couple of months ago dov dialed me up, dug my 49-year-old book up and asked me to participate in this panel. i'm fairly current on presidential commissions but i start -- well, i have a 49-year head start i guess is the way to look at it. presidential commissions have a long history in the united states. in the late 19th century there were a couple of them on the philippines and they've since -- theodore roosevelt had one on country life. there have been a whole bunch of others in a more modern period. they all essentially work the same way. the president appoints a bunch of notables who represent differen

i am grateful for beyond the and frank for setting up the platform. >> reporter: frank himself once experiencedhe support of strangers after crowdfunding sustained him during a crippling illness. >> two years ago i contracted a rare neurological disease that basically left me bedridden. i realized i could not ever pay that back but a big part of my motivation is to pay that kindness forward. >> everyone in this group in his or her own way is a change maker. >> reporter: in the end, beyond the marvels at her stronger community. >> it shows we all depend on each other. >> reporter: they started the sunset neighborhood help group to meet the pandemic most honorable and the award in the bay area goes to beyond the and frank. >> frank and bianca have been able to meet every request they have gotten and they tracked each request fulfill. >> >>> it is 6:56. in your morning top stories, the planning of the antioch planning commission was fired after controversy over the facebook post. the city council voted unanimously to remove ken turnage from his immune systems a drain on society and should be left

and honest and said that thatis very frank and honest and said that that is going to be part of thenge in life or different to the way we are with each other through the year i had the government scientists have been very frank about that. it also the government has been clear as well that a vaccine actually may not ever be found and may not be effective so i'm very curious to find a more about the story and this rapid vaccine. it does not sound like everything we have heard so far from the government caution. let's want to the telegraph. martin, just 2a new cases per day in london. this is eight forecast. this is modelling that suggests this. in the front page carrying the story. apparently at its height, there were 213,000 new cases of coronavirus infection in the capital and that has now dropped to 24. as a massive drop which shows if it's true that the has worked. yes, it does and certainly the official data is showing the infection rates in london have fallen sharply in the infection rate in the city is no longer bad and is fact one of the better ones nationally. again the ques

frank, it's great to speak with you today. we had phil spencer on the show last week. one of the things he voiced concern about was the potential for game production to be impacted by this pandemic. is that your concern as well how are you planning for that? >> well, i'm happy to report that all zynga employees are working from home very effectively right now. if you look across the industry, there's really a phenomenon with mobile gaming that allows you to build and continue to service yourgames from a work-from-hom deployment very efficiently. we saw very little productivity loss when we moved to a work-from-home environment and i think it's because our games are very well understood in terms of the technology, the processes, the technology itself, the file sizes are smaller and mobile, the engines are well known we don't require or counting on new hardware to be released. from our perspective, mobile games are easy to maintain in a work-from-home environment it doesn't suffer some of the same issues that you see with linear entertainment where they've had to close d
