in a family that was guided by "the new york times," and i started and fell in love with reading and newspaper reading "the times." the "arts and leisure" section. it seemed to me that "the times" was like a giant buffet table with great dishes on it, and i wanted to write for all of the sections, and i have not managed to write for all of them, but i have written for many of the feature sections. >> mark levin, a talk show host here in washington. i want to make sure -- i am pretty sure i have heard him say this. he refers to the "new york slime." >> he is quite conservative, and when i worked at "the wall street journal," they were known for having a conservative editorial page, and they would describe it broadly as being conservative, and there was a big divide between the editorial sections of the paper, and that is true at "the times", too, and our editorial page is quite liberal, a whole "the new york times" raises the hackles of people like mr. levin. >> what difference does it make? why does it have to be unbiased? >> we

the occupy movement here in d.c. is anything like that happening in new york. it's hard to know. you know as non-provocative words generally get outed 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 behave 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 wrong so they don't and in new york you're allowed to protest you're allowed to demonstrate a march on the sidewalk as long as you leave an area for protest variance 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 on t

all throughout history, the new york governor -- this is even in modern history, the new york governor is automatically considered a presidential material. if you look at the people that have run and won, and those that have run and loss, you'll see new york all throughout the history. >> i was just going to jump in there. i think new york was just an incredibly important -- new york was one, and ohio was the other. it kept producing president after president. i don't think we have anything like that anymore. maybe we could look at something like texas. but it is not just within the democratic party. when you look at the republican party, all of these figures, roosevelt, charles evans hughes, coming out of republican candidates. out of the democratic party, you see franklin roosevelt. new york as a state has two machines really going. it has a pretty significant effect. >> two machines? >> the same as a machinist at tammany machine. >> the republicans head and an incredibly powerful network as well. >> what is tammany hall? >> tammany hall is technically just the new york city's democr

he is in the forefront on that issue. new york state is the first state in america to pass anti- discrimination legislation. thomas e. dewey took them very seriously. it did not meet with universal agreement, even with republicans in new york. >> we are talking about thomas e. dewey's campaign. we will be joined a little bit later by his son, thomas e. dewey, jr. we will be taking your phone calls this evening. you can start dialing in startrichard norton smith. we are working our way back. let's go to the fall campaign and the issues that are there. is hillary truman popular? >> he is not popular at the beginning of the campaign. it is a reversal of what we see now. people were content with record high employment, but they did not attribute it to harry truman. also, global issues were eight huge factor here. one of the things that truman has been criticized in retrospect but at the time was widely praised was running a campaign of national unity in which he tried -- first of all, the idea of bipartisan foreign policy is part of t

is the largest union in new york a.f.l.-cio president richard trumka was individually said he supports the movement also reportedly met with his board today to weigh union wide endorsement now some welcome the unions saying that they can bring funds resources organization but others have cast away feeling that big organizations who bring out big numbers for democrats in elections are trying to co-opt the movement and drive it into a certain political direction so let's get some perspective from somebody who's actually been part of occupy wall street since the very beginning and see how they feel joining me from our studio in new york is attorney and activist martin who's a member of the occupy wall street library committee janice i want to thank you so much for joining us and if you can first start by just telling us how long you've been with occupy wall street what day you got there how much you've been participating. well first of all thank you very much for having me it's great to be here i wouldn't say i was there from

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

disobedient civil disobedience is the term the police have used here in new york but the horror of these clashes took place we should inform everyone that this demonstration that took place in new york was an precedented it was the biggest warned us far ah but i occupy wall street now it's because it doesn't believe or unions joined occupy wall street we saw transport workers beside nurses we start teachers students from universities in new york city and throughout the country old walked out of class that was your time to join. movement that is being held in new york by occupy wall street now this movement we should remind our viewers is not just limited to new york it is caught on in cities throughout the country such as boston. angeles chicago this is this is clearly gaining and enormous momentum it's not just a group of activists these are now frustrated americans coming together with grievances about the way the u.s. system is structured and the way the economy is in decline and not benefiting from the common day american. were important i are reporting there on the mass protests in

more and more people are joining the protests in new york as well as in other cities of the united states how far do you think this can go. well we're certainly hopeful it has grown every day it's really thousands now yesterday friday. i think more than ten thousand people there on friday sal's and there yesterday and then the police attack on the brooklyn bridge on on friday there was a protest about the police attacks the week before where hundreds were arrested people badly beaten. assaulted in all manner of ways by the police and caught on camera seen around the world yesterday's massive arrest on the brooklyn bridge the number of arrested is up to seven hundred overall talking about those arrests mean you were mentioning that there were the police brutality caught on video but also the n.y.p.d. had released a video showing that they were giving warning saying that if anyone had gone to the brooklyn bridge they would be charged with public disorder so they had given a warning what do you say to that they said that it was by choice of the activists were there. well the activists are al

in the heart of the movement new york city. this demonstration that this group occupy wall street has really mobilized a lot of momentum and as far as the protesters value to remain and stay that clearly was the case this past weekend there was a bunch of protesters quite camped out outside of the new york stock exchange in lower manhattan and one man was arrested because he was sleeping in the walkway entering the new york stock exchange and that was a single arrest but there were so many people down there sleeping outside of it taking part in this demonstration that he only had room to sleep on the wall way before his arrest the demonstrators hung up a sign on the new york stock exchange building that said banks got bailed out we got sold out this weekend we also did see religious groups join this movement members of the christian jewish muslim clergy clergies in new york city joined demonstrators in lower manhattan to support them in this ongoing protest against corporate influence over u.s. politics families were also bringi

york" magazine. new jersey is definitely considered part of the new york magazine jurisdiction. >> metro area. >> it's your big piece of the week. christie's moment. what should he do with his moment? >> first of all, i'll confirm who howard's saying. throughout this year, a lot of, as you know, a lot of big money republicans in this area have been trying to get him to run. he's been definitive in private as well as in public, no, i'm not going to run. two weeks ago the nature of the conversation started to change. it was clear what he was saying to them was something different, that he started to take it seriously. i think the thing i tried to write about in the column is the thing i think has come to matter to him, what he has realized, is that there is this moment for him now. in the sense that it doesn't happen for you in your life two or three times when everyone is begging you to run for president. that doesn't happen very often. and you might look at this and say, hey, i'm a republican in a democratic state, i might not be re-elected three years from now, god knows what 2016, to 2020 are going

times from the sunday ok mind you one new york times reporter journalist was arrested in this protest that took place now here the biggest picture is of one protester in syria and right down here is a little picture of all the new york city protesters that were arrested on the group when bridge so you could see the comparison why they decided to make that decision i have no clue but many critics do believe that the mainstream media are either trying to take credibility away from all these demonstrators or not give them ample coverage maybe make it a very short story and in the meantime though these protesters that are part of what's called occupy wall street say they are determined to continue to continue mistreating and continue camping out by wall street that's where they have been for the past two weeks now this incident that we saw erupt in new york on saturday was the most recent one but it's not the first one just last weekend we saw cops and demonstrators clashed down by wall street several women were maced in the face by a police officer others were arrested there was a confro

times there a small picture at the bottom there of what's happening in new york you think that these events are enough to get the attention of washington and the white house well it whether it gets the attention of washington the white house i don't know but i can tell you this after last weekend's crackdown the amount of attention it occupy wall street has received since then has been precedented and the numbers this weekend were far larger than they were last week and many didn't believe that there would be another dramatic confrontation as we can after what happened last weekend after four women were kept her straight. they were corralled by the police after the and when he used heavy handed tactics punching some protesters i think many people didn't expect that there would be something like that again this weekend though i have heard no reports of pepper spray being used there were there were aggressive arrests and there were thousands of people stopped and hundreds arrested in attempting a massive display of civil disobedience right thanks very much live there t.v. journali

host: lapel let's go to the elmira, new york. caller: what happens to all the money candidates made if they do not? nost: there's almost campaign that at the end of the day is left with much money in the bank. many of them are in debt by the end of the day. a couple of campaigns have had some left over such as john kerry, who in 2004 decided to take public funds. he was able to give the money to the political party. candidates can give unlimited amounts to the party. they save some money because they're bound to have ongoing legal and accounting costs. they can give limited amount of other candidates. the bulk will probably go to the party. host: looking at this story, judd gregg is giving his support to mitt romney. i am looking at a story on the cnn political tinker -- ticker. how significant of these endorsements when it comes to fund-raising? guest: i think endorsements are significant on the ground particularly in the home state of the people involved. the two gentlemen mentioned have very good strong reputations in their hom

the news. live at 5:30 a.m. here at 30 rock in new york city. president obama holding a state dinner for the president of south korea last night at the white house. both leaders praising an agreement passed by congress that would open trade between the two countries. the president called it a win for both nations, saying the deal would increase u.s. exports by $11 billion and create 70,000 jobs. while president lee says the deal is going to create a lot of good, decent jobs for the people of america. earlier in the day, senate republicans made their counter offer proposal to president obama's jobs plan, the one voted down in the senate two days ago, calling on the president to enter negotiations and reconcile their plan with parts of his bill. house speaker john boehner spoke to reporters about the president's plan and about the need for compromise. >> i think there are parts of the president's plan where we can, in fact, find common ground. we'll continue to work with him. i think that we've had our plan out there for months. i would hope the pr

the york makes its way through thick fog and drops bank up by the island. program on there waiting for the signal. to. go off like say i'm going to say when i go ahead sir. all in this home to numerous rookeries here seagulls cormorants and other birds make the nests. but the most interesting attraction of the island is the vast colony of seals the travellers a lucky to take a picture of them. when the animals sunbathing on the beach they are reluctant to go on the water during low tide this is the best trying to get close to them. i mean this is done this go when we were still on board we noticed some lighting seals we were going see try to get closer and touch them. several species of sea memel inhabit shantel islands the ring seal is one of the most common they feed on mollusks and ground fish for a long time seals were the target of hunters but now the practice is bad and. the seals do you know just the people most of them rushing to the water but they don't head out too far hundreds of inquisitive always pop up all over the place the animals are puzzle

or your correspondents of course following developments in the heart of events in new york keeping you updated on how those protests unfold one of the latest tweets comes from. the city looks like a militarized zone right now being blocked off by police after last night's arrests for the defeat of the school called. russia could soon come to the rescue of debt ridden e.u. economies the helping hand was extended by a presidential aide however the details of the plan will be discussed only after europe comes up with a clear anti crisis strategy auntie's tom barton reports. well this news comes from the presidential economic aide who said there have been meetings recently focusing primarily on spain and those meetings raise the possibility of russia being able to buy some of spain's debt and so provide extra help for the e.u.'s debt crisis he also said that other brics countries brazil russia india china and south africa could try and help economically with the u.s economic woes but there is a big but it relies on the e.u. coming up with a clear plan to try and contain the deb

we know the stakes here in new york so it's not surprising at all that sixty seven percent of the city is in support of the sixty seven percent of the city can barely pay or rent a bridge i'm curious what what's the what's the infrastructure in chicago and and is it in new york they've sort of reached a rapprochement i suppose with the mayor and with the company that owns the property at least an uneasy truce with the situation chicago. well we're still building we're still developing and growing but we are entering into some negotiations to try to figure out where our home should be permanently it's we're not going anywhere where and if the long haul. do what we do. that stands to defend our civil rights if need be we are prepared to do that but we also realize that that is unsustainable we can't have a hundred seventy five us arrested every evening so we are prepared to take the steps that we are currently in negotiations to figure out where our home will be and where to defend it from there and the way we've gone as far as internal organization which is a system of committee it into

mainstream publications such as the new york times and mainstream media outlets in the us are turning their attention to this movement because you know alternative news stations are covering the story it's growing bigger and if mainstream media doesn't cover it it's going to be seen as an absolute blackout and too many people at this point in the us too many americans are involved for the mainstream media to simply ignore it any longer but his correspondent in new york report there were hundreds demonstrators been arrested since the campaign began last month's christopher green a blogger and founder of an independent media channel told me there's going to be more violence on u.s. streets too as the protests gather momentum there is going to be some kind of martyrdom in the near future we're going to see violence or rob we could argue that we already have the violence in this country with the police pepper spraying protesters with you know innocent teenage women and be you know but taunted you know on kiro this is what the alternative media showcasing right now again this is a revoluti

this is the video of a new york police officer apparently the really running over an occupy wall street protester not sure of all the details here but these pictures are certainly being seen by a whole lot of people to read some anger as well. now on to seattle where ten people were arrested last night police also took down a so-called tent where an occupier was staying but has since got down saying those seattle protesters will be able to stay indefinitely. that was not the case in denver colorado where peaceful or not part protesters have been staying in what was cleared by state and local police at three o'clock this morning for all we understand police set up a large perimeter around that park moved in slowly and cleared everybody out in some cases dragging people by the arms even carrying them to nearby tractors and driving them away tents were torn down and more than twenty people there arrested so much as the new york times have to say about this well the front page today that discontent simmers in a market as you gone does economy standers uganda really. well we here at r.t. we'

the police, the state of new york. the public defender came to me -- this is the craziest part of the situation. the public defender who is there to defend your constitutional rights -- she came in to see me with plastic cause and a surgical mask. i saw her walking around with all the rest of the brothers. i thought maybe she had something that she did not want to give us. [laughter] that is righteous. i respect that. whenever you have to do. then she got me into the interrogation room and she said to me, you say you have education. where did you go to school, high school? public-school of new york. this does that add up. i skipped two grades before college. where did you go to college? how did you pay for college? you went to grad school? how did you pay for law school? what did that have to do with my case? i was just going with the flow. finally, she said to me, it is my professional obligation to inform you -- not only as an attorney but as a registered nurse acting as a dentist -- you may have a bipolar disorder. s
