new york was the cradle of the new deal. for him to announce that and it predicted based upon that that victory was in the air, that was perfectly understandable. 1948 -- what we did not know going into 1948, america had become a new deal country. the death of franklin roosevelt had ended one presidency. the approaching government, the expectation that government would be more involved in insuring prosperity, the government would be used to fight economic downturns as the new deal had in the 30's and 40's. whether or not he believed in the success of those efforts, the assumption was that when fdr died, the new deal died with him. the set of expectations -- the relationship between the average american and his government which had been transformed by the new deal, that was not the case. on election day in 1948, a americans enjoyed record prosperity, record employment. the reasons the republicans in spite of that thought they could win was very simple -- here truman. we forget today that here a true man in his first term was

york city a new queen app. p.x. but. never quite so it has found the sixty seven percent of new yorkers even a majority are publicans both clearly understand the message of the night and percent and that's with no official most of the job had been put out but you know perhaps that the howard beale you know were medicine and are going to take it any. message but say that they perfectly understand the message and agree with it and think it should not be stopped by force so obviously so far this is working in your opinion and being there are. you know the epicenter of the place where it began and words and certainly the belly of the beast i mean wall street there but could make a better and what could blow it up but make it better you know i think rooting pretty well but could make it better is maybe if the police stopped arresting people i don't think we're going to get lucky but the rumors that i'm hearing on the ground are the friday morning was the last chance that bloomberg had to get rid of. the actual camp

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

and you described new york today to -- you say sound the alarm, there is a new drug epidemic in town and most of the city wants in on it. in certain circles of new york, it is regular table conversation. we have entered the golden age of self-medication. drugs have become like hair products or cosmetics. this is brain styling, not mind altering, and you have a serious point to make there, but what is the extent of what you see going on in new york? >> well, i mean, i think new york is the same town that brought you woody allen and brought you everybody having a psychiatrist. there not a great deal of stigma to being neurotic in new york. it is accepted to the point of maybe being desirable in certain circles. i think now that these medications are more common, new york is the place where people are going to be comfortable with it and going to be open about it. >> you make a point of saying here that this is brain styling, not mind altering. you make a clear distinction between the two, do you not? >> yeah. i think people when they have actual problems like anxiety, depression or inso

let's take a look at new york now. the city is preparing for up to a foot of snow, and they aren't alone. snow is expected from baltimore up to boston. and take a look at the radar, here's what it looks like now. one of the biggest problems, potential power outages. heavy snow could leave about a million people without electricity. >> the trees, still plenty of leaves on them. you have forecasters saying heavy, wet snow, high winds, those are all the perfect ingredients for potentially a large problem with the electric grid. >> all right. let's bring in our alexandra ste steele for a closer look. when is the snow going to start falling? >> here's a look at the big picture, it's rare but not unprecedented. you saw the radar. here is the rain, the green. there is the white. we already have the snow beginning to fall in western pennsylvania, western maryland, in western west virginia as well. so, what we're seeing with the rain will change over to snow in the northeast. here's the big scenario. a quick-hitter, a one-day e

new york settlers. now how they did it today, you might not approve of completely. you could call it vigilante is the more he could call it terrorism. it depended. the first time they visited you, if you try to start a farm within new york deed, they took your fences down at night. and the livestock just one into your garden and into your fields. that would be enough for most people to say this is an going to work. if it didn't do the job, the next time they came and they take took your barno part. and if you are still there, they took the roof off of your house. the true the line it earning. i found no evidence that they ever set fire but every time they did it, more would be new york settlers went back to albany and swore out affidavits so there is a vast record of these atrocities or defense movements, however you want to characterize them, the showing of these claims so that in four years as allen and the green mountain boys successfully held off new yorkers as he called them, after four years ethan

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

of course, new york, new england in full foliage. to all those leaves on the trees, heavy snow coming down coupled with 30 to 40-mile-per-hour winds, certainly that will be our story tomorrow. so how rare is it? well, it is certainly rare. you know, it's about a month and a half ahead of schedule in places like new york and philadelphia. it's only snowed three times in october in new york city. and if it snows, which it will, today will be the first time since 1959. first snow since 1952 rather. boston, it's only snowed four times in october. we're talking measurable snow. on thursday, they had some flurries. measurable means one-tenth or more. let me show you how it will tran spire. wind and rain today. the snow forecast total expected, two to four inches. heading farther north to new york city. wind and rain today. it will mix with snow this evening, maybe about 5:00 or so, will taper off late tonight. no snow tomorrow. snow forecast, three to five. but as we head farther north and east in boston, you'll see a few inches. tomorrow
