i'm standing in manhattan in 2019 with you . three decades after the death of that third ge executive and everyone in this room is raising a mental glass to reagan, to public policy work also most of all we are raising a glass to the name of lemuel ricketts boulware. thank you very much. [applause] >> energy has agreed totake a few questions . >> yes, sir. i won't have that yet. how are you? >> michael myers, new york civil rights coalition. two things come to mind. lbj and race revolution in america ? the riots in the streets, lbj's response that was the great society. helping blacks get out of poverty, helping blacks overcome societal dennis discrimination . i remember about the race riots and strife in american society was lbj was abandoned by the people who were opposed to the vietnam war. the only peoplewho stuck with him were the naacp . >> what was your question mark. >> my question to you is what about the civil rights revolution in america -mark how can that not be in your book and how can we explain thegreat society wi

do me a favor if syracuse is open manhattan don't go there. hang out in your area, we will get to you. i think people would adhere to that. steve: well, plus, also, big states are different. for instance, in new york. we don't know when the schools are going to reopen. gavin newsom said yesterday of california it looks like they could actually reopen their schools in july which is unusual happenstance because usually people go back to school? august. how would that work? they don't know. also regarding going back and openings up retail, the simon property group, which is the largest prosecutor of malls in the united states, they're going, to as of friday, open up 50 malls in 10 of the states that are going to start to reopen. this is good news for people who want to go back. but, listen, it's going to be a lot different than it was before. you're going to take your temperature now when. in there is going to be somebody right there with a scanner. they will hand out free sanitizer. hand out free masks. if you go to the food court, every other c

manhattan contours have changed over time.we have lost our hills and dales substantially. you would not know where that hill is now. i will show it to you on a map in a minute. one thing we do know is that alexander hamilton's artillery unit does fire on two british ships. the hms phoenix and the hms rose. this was just a week after the declaration of independence had been read by washington to the troops in lower manhattan. the hms rose was a fascinating ship that was later used as a reproduction in the filming of master and commander. it is likely that they did cover george washington and his retreat through manhattan. this is all of what new york city was as of 1776. greenwich village was actually a separate village. bloomingdales was a separate residential area. manhattan was just that little tip. we don't have substantial proof of it. this high-resolution map shows the location of the hill. that was used by alexander hamilton and his artillery. was he at the battle of white plains? probably not. thanks to the scholarship

in the manhattan institute, they hoped they would be read. this actor, reagan, wasn't exactly popular across ge either. younger executives didn't like having some western propagandist. they complained about reagan. they couldn't stop boulware and his actor, he sent reagan all around to hundreds of ge plants, mimeographed pages to explain the future of industry, industry might move west, and he wrote about the dangers of socialism and socializing medicine was a bad idea. the tba was a bad idea, power could in a fate faster what was freedom making own decisions, maybe hydropower wasn't the only power in the future of the united states. soon enough reagan, the actor, began to take boulware's argument seriously. he even bought his son ge stock. from 1960, a dark cloud over ge, boulware and boulware's propaganda bill. justice department was investigating the company. in 1961 the new attorney general whose name was robert kennedy, pulled together a strong case. ge was colluding with other companies like westinghouse to fix high prices on what it so

bunker's hill on baird's hill in lower manhattan in april of '76. we don't know. maybe they met there. maybe they didn't. it's more likely that washington and hamilton met later in 1776 during washington's organized retreat through the state of new jersey, okay? but this is possible, so there's been a couple of illustrations of that. mayor till, by the way, i'll point it out on a way momentarily, is the highest point at that point in lower manhattan. if you know about the manhatta project, that's changed over time and we've lost our hills had and dales, you wouldn't know where baird's hill is but i'll show it to you on a map in a minute. alexander hamilton's military unit does file on two ships, the hms phoenix and hms rose on jewel 12th, 1776, a week after the declaration of independence has been read by washington'sed a janet to the troops in lower manhattan. the hms rose was later used in the reproduction of the filming "master and commander." hamilton and buur. it's not proven, but it's likely that they did cover george washington as well as general israel put

plus the so-called manhattan project for covid-19. the secret group of doctors coming together to find solutions. >>> a new warning about a mystery syndrome leaving a small number of young children critically ill. is it linked to the coronavirus? what doctors are now saying. >>> system overload, round two. just how many small businesses are now trying to apply for loans under the government's payroll protection program and the new frustrations. >>> plus, a third party candidate running for president. the high-profile politician who may throw his hat in the ring. >>> the pentagon declassifies three videos of unidentified flying objects seen by navy pilots. what we're learning. >>> and forget the ice cream truck. the ingenious beer van now serving customers in quarantine. >>> good tuesday morning, everyone. we received a new prediction overnight about the coronavirus and the toll it may take by summer. >> nearly 1 million cases have now been diagnosed in the u.s., and overnight we learned scientists are now predicting more than 74,000 d

that gave washington time to escape from manhattan. then we fast forward to the 22nd of december.ver marches into this area and he camps up the hill where washington headquarters were. he tells him what he wants to do. he crossed 800 feet of a rocky ice strewn river under the cover of darkness. by the way, the barometer is falling. could be looking at some weather. and glover and he says it's impossible. washington says to glover, colonel glover, i did not ask you to assess possibilities. i asked you if you could do it. that's when legend tells us and this is not written anywhere. . >> it's one of the three iconic parts of the revolutionary war. you ask anyone, even the smallest amount of history that are going to talk about valley forge, washington crossing the delaware, and the battle yorktown. everyone knows the iconic pain which was painted in 1850s based on the ryan river. but everyone knows that painting as washington crossing the delaware. you certainly don't get icebergs. it is very, very thick sheets of ice. >> what will take place? >> we're going to start by seeing washi

which was the first so-called colored elks in manhattan. and they were often in charge of helping organize a lot of the big functions for the elks clubs. booking the acts and collecting the funds and what have you. so by the time -- i guess seven by eight years past, and i guess there is another black firemen from queens, john woodson, and manhattan doesn't have one. time is really right for this. wesley williams, chief williams son who is coming of age now, and he's a superman. there's a picture i have in the book and you can see, he is stunning. i don't member the phrase but he was one of the people you just kind of like, you know, wondering why didn't get snatched up by hollywood or something like that. he did an exhibition, weightlifting. he was an all-around athlete. as this discussion was taking place, it was kind of an obvious choice that chief williams son is come he's a perfect example, the perfect one to get it. it was not without some pushback though because he's black, and this is where a lot of chief williams own influence, his

the british took between seven and 800 casualties i saw that he wasn't attacked to escape from manhattan and to fight another day. and then we fast forward to washington -- the section of pennsylvania and around the 22nd of december, glover marches into this area and he camps up the hill near where washington headquarters were, and washington calls him to his headquarters and tells him what he wants to do, cross 800 feet of iraqi i strewn river, or under cover of darkness, and by the, way the barometer is falling and we could be looking at some weather, and glover mutters to washington and says, your excellency, it is impossible. washington says to clever, colonel, glover i did not ask you to assess possibilities, i asked you if you could do it, a colonel weber thanks for a second and says, general washington, we can do it and that is when legend tells us, this legend, it is not written anywhere, but legend tells us that that is when washington made the final decision to go ahead with this bold move which truly did save the american revolution. you can point to maybe a dozen events that

we're focusing on feeding people in upper manhattan, the bronx and harlem. that's our goal. we're also feeding kids in shelters because they're unable to get hot meals, too. it's full circle. it's keeping the restaurant going but also doing something good. the people are doing goods. they're buying bowls for people that need to eat, and it brings joy to us every day that we're pushing hope into what i consider the economy or into manhattan or small communities around the world. >> how has all this affected your restaurant? how is staffing at your restaurant? >> when we first started, when corona first kicked in, we had three staff members. every week we've been able to add on another one. right now we have about seven staff members out of the 11 in total we had. i'm not going to say they're all getting full time 40 hours a week. they're getting somewhere between 20 to 30 hours a week, but they want to work. it's been hard for people to get unemployment for my past employees. so we're working -- i'm working hard to create new ways for my restaurant to survive, for my employee

how did the lens -- >> i don't think you can get farther than manhattan. i grew up on the upper side of manhattan and it was different than the urban world and so when i first approached, i was a little bit like where these people like. it was basically like we think of what is going on right now as the tale of two americas. on the top is the party back into the bottom is where all these people are struggling trying to figure out how to work the flute. i think manhattan in many ways many of them are in the party and they don't know what is going on the word back so for me it took a while once i started learning about these people and meeting them and learning about their backgrounds and talking to them i realized they are very complicated beings. the stories we learned about their households and their backgrounds into the journey is that they took were so alarming and heartbreaking we couldn't help but say we've got to tell the rest of the world. >> so you use the energy of the upper deck and lower deck and your book uses another title, tightrope and some

and that gave washington time to escape to manhattan and fight another day. then we fast forward to this section of pennsylvania around the 22nd of december and glover marches into this area, and he camps up the hill near where washington's headquarters were, and washington calls him to his headquarters, and he tells him what he wants to do, cross 800 feet of a rocky ice strewn river under the cover of darkness. and by the way the barometer's falling, we could be looking at some weather. and glover mutters to washington he says your excellency it is impossible. washington says to glover, colonel glover i did not ask you to assess possibilities. i asked you if you could do it, and colonel glover thinks for a second and he says general washington my marble headers can do it. and that's what legend tells us -- it's not written anywhere, but legend tells us washington made this decision to make this bold stroke which really did save the american revolution. you can point to maybe a dozen events that truly changed the course of world history forever. and one of th

out at the top, they are the largest tenant in manhattan and not by a small amount if they go bluey rent, this is going to come back and snakebite an awful lot of landlords. >> bluey for the landlords and also if you look up the chain, this whole market of commercial mortgage backed securities which is the sort of debt load behind all of this commercial space is a market that's not getting any federal bail out money and could face a real risk just for manhattan and wework alone that's a market to keep an eye on >> all right thank you very much. robert frank reporting >>> still ahead, boeing reporting the weakest first quarter order book in decades as air travel demand craters. we'll dig into those numbers next and they're not pretty. the airlines could be feeling the pain of that drop in demand, pass nenger demand for years to come how long it could take for the industry to recover from the impact of the covid-19 pandemic? that is comingp. u turn on my tv and boom, it's got all my favorite shows right there. i wish my trading platform worked like that. well have you tried thinkorswi

and even after he goes over to the manhattan side. she's rapturous. any stops playing baseball but he still read for a while and he's living in williams house for a while and then williams moves to the dunbar houses, williams is one of the first blacks to move on to ivers road in harlem when it opens up to blacks . and that girl just across the street on stryker. so organizations like that. i mentioned the orchestra and the benevolent society. and the quartet. and they were to quartets but the initial one. this made grand central even before the tree of rockefeller center became this sort of manifest destination point and holiday time. people would go to grand central to hear red caps singing on the balconies, christmas carols and spirituals so it was really embedded in a holiday tradition. so williams always sort of had his hand in organizing these things that kept him around, keeping it sort of worthwhile event is something that a universal sentiment of us who have been to any school , there was a baseball team, there was a track team, there was a l

we're taking care of patients in manhattan and brooklyn as well as long island. we've been in the heart of this. do really want to thank you for not only supporting nyu but also the new york hospitals. we've been in the hospital and seeing a flattening and we're continuing and committed to taking care of these patients. once again, thank thank you forl your efforts. >> i spoke to ken yesterday. we'll take care of all the situation. you people really have done a a fantastic job during this crisis. >> i'm president and ceo of cleveland clinic. we have a strong presence in state of ohio and large presence in florida. >> you built a big one, right? >> fortunately in the ohio measured by our governor did very early and we have really not had a surge in number of patients. >> right. >> curve has been flat for almost two weeks. our entire system we employ 60,000 caregivers. we're having only 170 patients in our entire system. the number has been stable. and what i would also like to echo my colleagues who are thankful for the invitation but i also want to assure we all

john the divine in manhattan about plans to open its doors to 400 beds for patients to make more space in the city's overwhelmed hospitals. and the church's decision to gramsith franklin ga samaritan first. all of that and more, coming u . welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are broadcasting from the epicenter of the pandemic and in the united states, new york city. the global death toll from the coronavirus pandemic has topped 70,000 with over 1.3 million confirmed cases. the u.s. has by far the highest number of known cases, with over 336,000 reported, as the country's official death toll approaches 10,000. but public health and medical experts say the true number of covid-19 fatalities in the u.s. is much higher than reported due to inconsistent protocols on reporting, early failures to identify covid-19, and unreported deaths in victims' homes. the pentagon says it is procuring 100,000 body bags as demand increases from morgues around the country. as hospitals around the country continue to report dire equipment and staffing sh

it was the only source of fresh water on manhattan for a long time. the pond had income over the course of the centuries, filled up with garbage, and the slum had been built on top of that garbage-filled landfill. so the ground underneath the five points islam was really low-lying, kind of unstable, unlike the rest of manhattan, which is underlined with bedrock. so the groundwater was very easily contaminated under this islam because there was no sewer system, and all of these --houses -- under this islam slum, because there was no sewer system, and all of these outhouses, all of their material is sinking into the groundwater. the state of new york chartered a company to deliver drinking water to the people of new york. that company, instead of tapping upstream sources of water, the bronx river at the time, which was fresh and clean, they new would taste better for sure would taste better for sure -- they thought that would be, that would cost too much money. so they made a decision like what happened in flint, michigan. they decided not to tap the go

compared to the days i work in lower manhattan or midtown manhattan. >> when you talk about the numbers week, it is a result of so many new yorkers staying in place. now that there's more and more talk, there's a push to reopen, which is what everyone wants to resume our lives, how does that make you feel as a medical professional? >> i mean, there's me as a doctor, which is i swore an oath. i'll still go back in. i'll clean up the mess no matter what. so if you want to break quarantine and possibly create another surge or bounceback, no problem. i'll go back in. that's what i do. but as a person, it kind of makes me nervous that you might expose my mom who has pair parkinson's, my friends. those of white houus who rode o first wave could catch the second wave. it's hard to think we could do that to our community but we should take responsibility for whatever decisions we make. it could be difficult to shelter in place and self-quarantine for five to six weeks at a time. it's that balance between public health and personal freedom and your desire to go out again during the summer. it's

we will talk to frank seiler as well, coming up in a moment here from the streets of manhattan.rans, how can one phone call save you $2000 a year? by refinancing your va loan at today's incredibly low rates at newday usa. newday's va streamline refi is the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered. you can lower your payments by this time next month without having to verify your income, without getting your home appraised, and there's no money out of pocket. call newday right now. >> bill: so, fox news alert right now. "the wall street journal" reporting the acting secretary of the navy has offered to resign after firing the commander of an aircraft carrier who sounded the alarm about a covid-19 onboard the uss theodore roosevelt. his name is thomas modly, we are looking for more reaction on that, but it's just breaking at the moment, we will get you details as they transpire here. in the meantime, we are coming off the deadliest day so far pandemic here in new york city. the governor reporting today 731 people died in the state yesterday. governor cuomo also saying that ho

patrick's cathedral and manhattan.nd trevor, as several states issued orders to try to stop large group gatherings for easter sunday, tonight, the department of justice saying it may take action? >> reporter: that's right, tom. several lawsuits have been filed by churches who claim these gathering bans aren't being enforced equally and are singling out church services. one mississippi church said that police threatened to fine them for operating drive-through service when liquor stores were still operating drive-throughs. a department of justice official says they're looking at several of these cases and a spokesperson for the attorney general says expect action this week. tom? >> trevor ault from midtown manhattan for us. trevor, thank you. >>> as new york talks about flattening the curve, new hot zones are being tracked across the country. several states, including massachusetts and pennsylvania, now bracing for their peaks, which could be days or weeks away. here's abc's chief national correspondent matt gutman. >>

we are here in what is normally the pulse of the manhattan, the pulse of the big apple.ur photographer and crews driving around the city and the streets are empty. the stores, the bars and the restaurants have been closed for weeks. new yorkers by the millions are either indoors or they have left town entirely. the schools are closed, perhaps this looks a lot like the town where you are living right now. what we are trying to pull off today is someone of technical merit, when you think about the social distance and guidelines that we have instituted not only here in new york, but to the fox news channel and our colleagues or neighbors for that matter, just to be able to do this broadcast today, it's a bit of a stretch but so far we are able to make it happen so that you can see part of your country that has been largely forbidden from view. so for the next hour or so you will see what it's like here in new york. in the meantime i want to show you a live look at st. patrick's cathedral about two avenues over from here. a lot of christians getting ready to celebrate holy w

i want to thank the manhattan organization for holdings lunch and everything else that is done. i started writing in the colon for the new york times, i found that this was the one voice of sanity in the policy may always urgiving the manhattan institute the lion share of the credit for turning around new york city. i am so impressed withed them tt i think they're going to save us even from the current mayor. [laughter]. so today i would like to suggest how to save the rest of the world and as you may have guessed, it involves buying my book. and it said that a fundamental fact of life that is just now becoming clear to scientists is that universal tendency of that eventrs and emotions to the efft that is more strongly than good ones. and in short, that is stronger than good. that was the title of a favorite paper from a social psychologist. and since he publishes, there have been hundreds of studies looking at the negativity of impacts about all parts of my life. and in the book, we wrote this book in order to show people, how do you deal with this. and how this negativity bias

i think manhattan, in many ways, the people of manhattan, many of them are in that party and they just don't know what's going on in the lower deck. for me it took a while, once i started learning these people and meeting them in learning about their backgrounds and talking to them, i realize they are very complicated human beings and the stories that we learned about their household in the background and the journeys they took, really was so alarming and so touching and heartbreaking that we just couldn't help. [inaudible] >> so you moved between the upper deck and the lower deck and what's going on below and your book uses another analogy, the tight rope. in some of my speeches and in congress i talk about trying to pave a wide path for families to thrive, and here it's not just a narrow path, but a tight rope. what are you conveying by that. >> absolutely. the whole point is that some of those of us in the upper-middle-class and above who are very well educated, at least graduated from high school and some college, we have a path, fairly wide path ahead of us. so if we fall we can p

manhattan is much different. manhattan is much different than montana.sly, if you look at the virus, it hit some areas and not so much some others. some not at all. but the entire country has been impacted. west virginia, for example, i spoke to the governor and they were long before anything hit and they had numerous deaths even in west virginia and they were the last one to be had. so we're dealing with the governors. we had a really great call today as i told you. very, very solid. these were not complaining people, these are people that work... they had everything they needed. they had been the leaders, they had testing, they see their testing is growing, they're growing their testing, we're getting them what they need. that was a group i wish, i'm sure some of you are on the line, and i think you know what the line, and i think you know what the result of that call was. following the question on holding china responsible, which are —— which are administration looking at doing the same as germany? germany is looking at things that we are looking at t

i don't know if there is one in manhattan area, i don't know if it is like a testing site, they open up these drive-through testing sites. i haven't heard of one here in manhattan, so that is certainly alarming to me, because this is the epicenter. i know they have them at westchester and some other outskirts of where these things sprouted up, but i do not know of one -- i think one opened up in brooklyn, which is another little ways from here, and manhattan, i don't know about a drive-through testing site. i really think they should have the testing sites on the facilities of the depots, because we have doctors that work for mta, nurses that work for nta. -- mta. we have people that might be able to do these tests. now they are sending nurses to check out temperature, to see if we have our temperature over 104, they send us home. that does not help the fact that i already traveled there, i mingled among my coworkers, because i think this is where we all get. we all congregate in a certain place when we report to work. so if we have that -- they tried to downsize it, they tried to al

a manhattan project. if this is indeed going to be the event that perhaps marks the rest of our adult lives as americans, why not? >> well, i actually in an op ed piece i wrote in "the new york times" almost a month ago where i predicted we could have a shortage, i actually did call for a manhattan project, an intellectual one. my marshall plan is about testing reagents but i think you're right on the mark, brian. we need to bring together that right now and what this country is missing is a core. we're missing a leadership component that can bring everyone together without regard to partisan politics, without regard to age, race, gender, location. you know, i said on the network just three weeks ago that one day it wouldn't be a red and blue issue. it would be a covid color issue. look at the midwest right now. all those red counties are turning covid because of what we're seeing happen. so i think that you're exactly right. we need a manhattan project. tell the truth. we need straight talk. what's reall

and the manhattan project being created. this time, not around nuclear weapons what about finding a vector -- faster vaccine solution. there are headlines around reading the virus and vaccinating against the virus that do seem to guide the markets appetite for risk or not at this point. mark: that is absolutely correct. the overall things are clear. we are experiencing an unprecedented economic shock. i think most people are understanding that it is even worse than pessimist projections from a month ago. there is surprise that the data, the headlines -- who cares about it? the french didi became an worse than expected. we know what will be absolutely terrible. unemployment, economic growth. we also know that central banks will provide a lot of stimulus. keep on doing more. they don't know how much more. they have no limit. that means the decider of which side wins in this tug-of-war between the bullish and bearish themes here is whether we get the coronavirus controlled. if the risk of a second wave is contained. essentially

i think manhattan in many ways the people of manhattan, many of them are in that party and they just don't know what's going on in the lower deck. so for me it took a while. once i started learning these people and beating them and learning about their backgrounds talking to them i realized they are very complicated human beings. the stories that we learned about their household, about their backgrounds and journeys they took really were so alarming and so touching and heartbreaking, that we just couldn't help but say we've got to tell the rest of the world. >> host: you use the analogy of the ship of the upper deck and lower deck and what's going on below. your book uses another analogy in the title, tight rope. in some a by speeches and in congress i talk about trying to pave a a wide solid path for families to thrive, and here is not just a narrow path that a tight rope. what are you conveying by that? >> guest: the whole point is for those of us who are in the upper middle class and above four very well educated, at least graduate from high school, from college, we have a path a

but in manhattan, there has been little sound or light since construction stopped in 2017.aled that millions meant for st. nicholas were spent on other expenses of the archdiocese. about $3.5 million dollars was used elsewhere by the archdiocese. is that correct? >> demetrios: it was a transferring of money from the st. nicholas to another kind of account afterwards we heard about that, i ask, "why you did that?" i said, "you should not have touched the saint nicholas money at all for no matter what. it was a mistake, has been corrected. >> pelley: the money was returned. last year, archbishop demetrios resigned. a new archbishop and new york state named an independent board to raise the last $45 million and manage construction-- fresh hope for anthoula katsimatides who lost her brother. >> katsimatides: i know that once st. nicholas opens, my mom and i will visit and say a prayer for john there. a place of love and hope for all family members and for all people from around the world who are gonna come and visit and pay their respects to everyone that died that day.

would have terrified donald trump because it was a city of immigrants, more than half the men in manhattan 24 years old were foreign-born. new york would soon be the largest city in the world, it was already the largest jewish city in the world. this is a picture of the lower east side where rose lived and worked. most of the people she wrote about for the newspaper were shop assistants, street peddlers, she gathered their stories and ran to the office and reams of copy every day. but one day in the summer of 1903 the editor gave her different assignment which was to go interview somebody who worked in a settlement house. you know what settlement houses were i think. these were places established in the poorest neighborhoods. they offered nutrition for children, things like baths and showers not just for kids but for adults because for millions of people living in tenements in new york and other cities there weren't baths and showers. they offered adult literacy classes and classes and many other things as well. although settlement houses served a population that was almost entirely immigr

we have really developed kind of a manhattan project approach to testing because we know that even when the governors begin to open up the economy, as in my view they should begin to do, and when hospitals are allowed once again to do elective surgery which is the only place they make any money, we can begin to get out of this malaise by bringing the economy back to life. spivey one we will ask about that in a moment, but that's what she said, she made the bill better because the testing on the billions that are no available for hospitals. that's a point she was making. and we are all interested in that and none of that was in contention. what they really wanted to do was to pass legislation to send money to local governments and what i said was we are not going to do that, we will wait and take a pause, and we will assess the future potential damage to the country by adding $2.7 trillion to the national debt. the next time we consider, shall i say, phase four, all the members of the senate are back, which would be the earliest may 4th. we are not interested in in revenue for state gove

on top of that the company that did this, the manhattan company, the reason they wanted to save this money was to start a bank which they did, the bank of the manhattan company and that bank still exists to this day. do you know who it is? jpmorgan chase, biggest bank in america. that is their early history. i tell that story in the book because i think we don't really look at the political and social drivers of contagions enough and i think it is an interesting turnaround from the past. we had a lot of malaria from the 1600s through the mid-1900s and really got rid of it before we had solid biomedical solutions by changing our land use policy. we started building dams of course, we had engineers and scientists on the board of these dams to make sure we wouldn't extend the mosquito habitat. we changed housing practices, people started putting screens on windows and doors, we uplifted people out of poverty in rural areas to give them electricity, mechanization, we built it out. this is well before we had ddc or choroquine but then we started developing chemical course, penicillin, ddt
