great question, timothy. to orient people, the elizabeth islands are a chain of small islands that run parallel to the north shore of the vineyard. a few miles away across the water. both cast and kuttyhunk were places where wealthy collections of gentlemen from the late 19th century built fishing clubs. basically the equivalent of a hunting lodge, except you are after bass instead of deer. you hung out with your fellow rich guys. there were stands, thin piers build out over the water. we went out in the morning and sat on a chair at the -- you went out in the morning and sat on a chair. assisted by a servant you could hire at the rate of six dollars a week to handle all the messy stuff for you. no president i am aware of ever visited the pask island club. i am uncertain about whether any of them made it to cuttyhunk. although it was certainly popular. we do know president chester arthur hitched a ride on a u.s. fishery service vessel and went trolling in vineyard sound in the 1880's and that president grover cleveland, whose retreat was on cape cod, came down in 1897 to visit a friend and tried the bass fishing

and it becomes, when we run out of territory to expand and north america, frederick jackson turner's great thesis which i believes 1896 we start expanding overseas and become an empire. in following world war ii, we get this definition of national security which encompasses our empire. but it is completely limitless. and again, that idea of constant expansion, of empire, of the fact that other countries are not allowed to take their own form of government because it conflicts with our idea of national security. that also conflicts with the myths that we are taught as schoolchildren are expected to believe our politicians say. so all of these things, come together and trapper presidents into lying. almost no president has been able to avoid the formula of having to lie about white supremacy and empire/national security. sue and so eric let me push you a little bit on the question of lying specifically. because what you just described in terms of manifest destiny, in terms of at least the implication that three fist the clause in the constitution, this of course is nothing new. tell me what

run out the clock, great sports analogy. i don't look at national polls much because national polls don't get us anywhere. elections are decided in very few states, florida, northo, pennsylvania for example and if you look at the real clear politics index of polls it is always in the margin a are in those states along with michigan. the president could lose michigan and wisconsin and win pennsylvania, ohio, carolina, florida, keep the states he won in 2016 and when the presidency. keeping that in mind. i look at enthusiasm because that is a big big number, one that we missed in 2016 when looking at all these polls, donald trump right now, fox news paul that just came out 59% of trump voters are enthusiastic to vote for the candidate with joe biden it is only 43%. what does that look like in 2016, this is the number that should alarm all biden supporters out there in the biden campaign, 2016 at this time 44% were enthusiastic to vote for hillary clinton, 35% were enthusiastic to vote for donald trump. in other words his numbers completely turned on its head. in this case biden if he thinks he can sit on a lead right now there is no wind at his back as far as peo

great weekend. >> thank you, chris. well, between the covid and the wildfires finding clean air to preegt has really become a struggle. as you can imagine there's been a run on-air purifiers. cole hardware in north beach in san francisco tells us they only had one left in stock this morning and their supplier is almost sold out. you can make one at home. >> if you have a box fan at home they're relatively inexpensive. you can buy a 20 by 20 filter and it'll fit right on the front. you can use duct tape to tape it on. >> that is such a good idea. i have one of those. of course the diy version is not as effective as the real thing but better than nothing. cole hardware is expecting a delivery of purifiers this week. i feel like that's something jeff would have told us to do. >> i got my filter the same day we did the story on it. you know, it's crazy. i also want to clarify, too, the thing i got is called a cabin air filter, you guys, so that's going to filter the pollutants inside of the car. so look it up. cabin air filter because there's also an engine filter. you want to make sure you're getting the right thing. let's get a look at the smoke. it's here, there's nothing we can do about it so le

the university of north carolina has a great digital archive and they invite me to speak and hopefully i can express my gratitude to the digital archives. when the slave runs away, what do you do, you place a classified in the newspaper. as a fiction writer i like giving people's voices and how people talk but can we complete with the runaway slave ads and they encapsulate and capture so much in such a little space. the format is usually like $50. betsy ran away for no reason at all. she has a downcast expression, burden on her arm from an accident. last seen in the vicinity of the community so how did she get that burden, there's so many levels of denial in the ad that i decided just to stick them in there and see what they are. and also in the research it was a sort of observation that to be a farmer or slave master to hold up the system, you can be a journalist working on a newspaper and you are part of upholding the enterprise and the link in the chain that keeps it going. you also make the iron rims for the wheels of a taking cop into the market. you are making nails for the house is popping up in the new slave economy towns. so, you know, when i was
