the governor of new york. al smith who will always have his own place in the hearts of the american people. but events were moving fast. al smith is candidate for president in 1928. wanted a good man to run for governor. although mr. smith lost the state by a nor row vote, franklin voez velt was elected to his first term as governor. already franklin d. voez velt was a favorite for the nomination. his leading opponent was none other than his old friend alfred e. smith. >> franklin d. roosevelt, having received more than two-thirds of all the delegates voting, i proclaim him the nominee of this convention for president of the united states! >> you have nominated me, and i know it. and i am here to thank you for the honor. i pledge myself to a new deal for the american people. >> and back live in the new york state assembly chamber, beverly gage, how did we get from 1928, fdr calling al smith the happy warrior, supporting him, to 1932 presidential election? >> right. well, 1928, they are -- they had been allies

what al smith did in new york and what fdr did in new york with. the way that the economy is today and the debates over government and smart sizing, smith would probably lick his lips and say i'd love to go to d.c. and try to figure this out. that's what he did in albany. he did it in a republican state with a republican legislature. so even the discussions now with the bipartisan gridlock, smith had that in new york. so he would probably sell himself very well today by saying i've done this in new york, i've battled the legislature that's hostile, i know how to get government under control, i know how to get the economy back moving again. not flashy, but probably someone that would be the brain trust kind of guy. >> james in dayton, ohio, good evening. james? >> caller: yes. i was wondering if -- i know that al smith lost the election in 1928. in 1929, of course, wall street collapsed initiating the great depression. i was wondering if he had any party platform which might have contributed to, perhaps, avoiding that -- anything that would check ma

this two-hour program was recorded at the new york state assembly chamber in albany, new york. each sunday at this time through labor day weekend, you can watch "the contenders" on "american history tv" on c-span3. >>> i come here tonight to the al smith dinner knowing i'm the underdog in these final weeks. but if you know where to look, there are signs of hope. there are signs of hope, even in the most unexpected places, even in this room full of proud manhattan democrats, i can't shake that feeling that some people here are pulling for me. [ cheers and applause ] i'm delighted to see you here tonight, hillary. >> i was thrilled to get this invitation and i feel right at home here because it's often been said that i share the politics of salford e. smith and the ears of alfred e. newman. it is an honor to be here with al smith. i obviously never knew your great grandfather. from everything senator mccain has told me, the two of them had a great time together before prohibition. >> of course i am delighted but not surprised by the final repeal of the 18th amendment. i felt all

in albany, new york. "the contenders," al smith. this is our sixth week. we're look at al smith, four-time governor of new york, 1928 presidential nominee for the democrats. throughout the two hours we will be talking about al smith, we will turn to the election as often as the callers and questioners want to, but we want to learn a little bit about what and where al smith came from. here is a little of al smith talking about how he was raised. >> i was born in a little house right under the brooklyn bridge. you know the bridge was erected when i was a small boy. my father was at the oakland ceremony. and when he came home, he said alfred, i've just witnessed a great spectacle, but at the same time, a very bitter disappointment. >> what did he mean? >> here's the story as he told it to me. he said son, this bridge has kept thousands of men work for years. the steam cables, concrete, the wiring, the machinery. cost millions of dollars. today was the opening. bands were playing. flags were waving. they cut

i don't think he did. >> not even new york city? >> well, new york city also had outer boroughs that had republican dominance, which is still the case in staten island. but in pockets of queens as well. >> social security was another question. >> social security. the issue on social security is something that smith had tried to implement in new york state when it came to widows and orphans' pensions. he tried to experiment with health insurance for industrial workers. and he also tried to do all kinds of social security issues when it came to trying to support those that were downtrodden. make work projects were something that he had experimented with. and it might have been one of those programs he would have carried into the new deal, had he won. >> we have -- please go ahead, professor. >> i just want to address one other aspect that came up which is about the south. and one of the strange things that emerges, was anti-catholicism more powerful in the south than the midwest? i think that's actually a fairly hard question to answe

he did not like how new york state ratified it anyway. they did it by simple resolution through the legislature, he felt it should be a referendum, and i believe it was in 1924, so they had a referendum in new york state about what you think about prohibition, do you change the percentage of alcohol, i think in the federal it was 1.5, they wanted beer and white wines to be allowed and it passed in new york state, but it was just a memorialization of congress, it did not mean anything, smith himself was elected the president of the convention in new york state, 1933 to repeal the prohibition amendment in this chamber. the 150 delegates voted, and they voted for al smith to be president. he got the last laugh on that. they brought out the secretary of state to second the nomination and pat him on the back. it shaped him because he thought it was ridiculous to say, that you could use the constitution to control individual behavior. it actually took a right away from people, rather than the amendments giving rights to people in the bill of ri

new york was a republican state at the time. and as i mentioned, he had a very tough time dealing with the legislature which was overwhelmingly republican. in fact, in 1920 when they expelled the socialists, i never understood why because they had 110 republicans out of 150 seats. and it didn't really matter when it came to the votes. but i think that i would give governor smith an "a." he created so many things, as i mentioned, the executive budget, the short ballot, making the short

as the new york port expanded.he family diversified into new areas with different branches going into different maritime businesses. all with the mcalllister name. >> when my great grandfather died, he left these boats to one of his brothers, all right? and my grandfather, who was his son and had four boys, they got this. these steam boats with the paddle wheels were enormous business. >> in the great depression the mcalisters nearly went bust. by 1938 brian's great uncle died with just a few boats to his name. >> he watched everything go to pieces. two or three people left in the office. the only thing they took home was grocery money. that was it. there was no salaries no more. this very, very successful business went to near zero. >> in his own lifetime, brian mcallister said he's gotten close to losing the business several times. the first when his father and uncle were going to sell it off for retirement rather than give it to him. >> i said, you can't do this to me. you can't sell this business. >> brian's ge

new york well here at r.t. we talk quite often about the drawbacks of drones how many of them are being used as surveillance vehicles limiting privacy in a society where let's be honest big brother has been watching us and other ways for years now when i was a new set of concerns and they have to do with the way in which our own drones could be used against us and the reason unmanned aerial vehicles are able to be unmanned is because someone is controlling them remotely so even if the drone can be physically hijacked it can it turns out be technically technologically hacked a team of researchers at the university of texas has proven this and let's take a look at some of the video that sort of illustrates how this is done. the researchers hacked into the g.p.s. system of a small but sophisticated drone with a so-called spoofer one that mimics real g.p.s. signals it took complete control of the drone by sending it false g.p.s. signals making it go wildly off course several times the implications of this are that

you talk to people in new york. the united states was still much, much more a set of separate entities, separate states in the middle of the 19th century, and so he just didn't get -- he didn't get any play until the centennial, until 1876. and there in philadelphia the celebration in fairmount park of the 100th anniversary of the declaration of independence, and for that bartholdi sent over the arm and the torch of the statue of liberty which he managed to cobble together some money in france, after his trip in 1871. he goes back to france and he starts to -- he comes up with his definitived mo el. starts to raise money. not easy to do and finally gets enough money to build the arm and the torch, and it goes up during the centennial celebration in philadelphia, and zillions of people go to see it. it's the most popular attraction and the most photographed, and then bartholdi gets an idea. he says i can make some money by selling souvenirs, and so all of the kitch that we see if we go out to the stat you've liberty
