thank you for having me on the show to say something about the program. >> griff: channel let's go back to 1947. this happens because one marine and his wife jump into action. tell us the story. >> that is correct. in a few minutes prior to christmas in 1947, major bill hendricks, a reserve major in los angeles, he and his wife are concerned about the level of poverty among the children in the greater l.a. area and especially remember just a couple of years after world war ii. three months prior to christmas in '47, bill and his marines went out and collected toys, books, games for the general public and businesses. his wife, diane, made raggedy ann tolls. christmas morning 1947, bill hendrix major and his marines
got into dress blue uniforms and went out and distributed those toys, books, dolls diane had made to less fortunate children in l.a. literally overnight and it spread like wildfire and by 1948 all reserve units have a program similar to this but it got the attention of general cates who decided to make an official mission of the marine corps reserve so the rest is history and as of this day 1947 we have reached 281 million children. the one general cook and cates picking up the torch and 75 years later, general, why do you do this? >> we do it to bring hope to children and let me say also. we used to be known principally as christmas time charity. over the last couple of years, especially with the pandemic, we

putnam county and ohio, look at that, a 62-point margin, will it get bigger? this is marjorie taylor greene's district here, how big will the republican turnout bet? and for republicans to have a good night, they have to improve their numbers in suburban counties. delaware county is a place to work here. this is a place where democrats have been eroding the republican gains here. check key county, sort of an excerpt, if you will, of atlanta. democrats have been making progress there. let's see what happens in 2022. bottom line is this. those are the places to watch, but it will be election week, not election night. up next we mark a milestone, 75 years as the longest-running show in the history of television. welcome back. we are celebrating our diamond anniversary, 75 years of "meet the press." it was november 6th, 1947, at 8:00 p.m. when nbc television debuted this program. now more than 3500 episodes later, we've had 12 moderators,
took both her and hannah to his office while he worked. >> then ana and me had fun. we had a little bit of water and people that were passing. we would play with the telephone from one room to another. >> germany invaded the netherlands in 1940, and two years later, part of that office building became a hiding place for the frank family, where anne would write her diary. it was published in 1947 as "the diary of a young girl." the franks were arrested in 1944, and anne and her sister ended up at a concentration camp. hannah ended up there too. she heard a rumor that her friend, anne, might be in a nearby part of the camp and went to find her. >> and at night i tried to go as near. it was forbidden to go as near as i could to the fence. and somehow i called, hello, hello. >> word got to anne, and soon
welcome back. bosses are scratching their heads or pulling their hair out. saying worker productivity has dropped more than 4% in 2022. that's the worst decline that goes back to 1947. let's bring in anita williams, professor of organizational behavior and theory at carnegie mellon university. good morning to you. i'm curious, before the pandemic or leading into the pandemic seems productivity was up. now we see this decline. what are the different factors that are coming together here? >> well, there really are a variety of converging trends here. certainly we've heard about the great resignation, exactly what's going on there. we know most recently there's also alongside this productivity, there's been a
important, you know, my mom had gone to see "streetcar named desire" in 1947 and talked about brando on stage but i never thought it would be a destination for my stuff. but what happened is the personal quality of the film "almost famous" kept it alive with fan with people i talked to and my friend lea volik, a huge music fan and broadway producer and why don't you try broadway and create that feeling that you got in the movie on a live stage, and that's what made it continuingly personal, you know, and from the heart. >> and people go, they will recognize some of the songs, some of the hits in the film, "tiny dancer" and also original songs, original lyrics. >> yes, we started doing a jukebox blast of classic rock and instead of that, we would give you a little bit of a game as an audience member, i know that song, is that a cat stevens song, wait is, that a joni
documentary that will be coming out on espn, a part of their "30 for 30" series, so i've been able to sit down with him numerous times and talk about his story and what that meant. but, listen, you know, sports in many ways has been ahead of where the rest of the country is. we have to remember when jackie robinson integrated major league baseball in 1947. that was a full 20 years before we got the civil rights act and the voting rights act. we have seen sports really be an opportunity for people to maybe hear different viewpoints or maybe understand politics in a different way because we're a very segregated country still. we don't worship together. a lot of us stay in our particular groups. you know, when we socialize, where we work. but the one thing that brings us all together is sports, because you could have a bunch of people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, different races, genders, it doesn't matter, but if you guys all love the lakers,
