the transfer of the louisiana territory had not taken place yet. they were waiting for that formal ceremony to occur. during the winter however, they were quite busy. lewis went to st. louis to procure supplies. clark spent most of the time training the men in shooting and also other things they would need to be successful. there were at least five journalists who kept records of the expedition. lewis and clark were both some of the most important writers. there were several stretches in which lewis either did not write or lost those entries. clark wrote all but 10 days. even those 10 days when he was on a hunting trip, he summarized. he accounted for every day of the expedition, quite remarkable. when you look at the words of lewis and clark and their admit -- enlisted men, they wrote more work than contained in the holy bible. it is available free for the public at the university of nebraska press. it is a national treasure. it could be searched for almost any kind of topic you could think about. the expedition was a village on the move. lewis wa

this is vernon parish, louisiana, ablaze.e have had multiple fires burning throughout the state of louisiana over the past few days and you can see as a result, we have red flag warnings still in place. winds gusting pretty high, up to 25 miles per hour there. we continue to see the red flag warnings in parts of texas. here's what i want to show you next. we have the drought monitor on, okay? on august 1st, 0% of the state of louisiana was under extreme drought. today, 50% of the state is under extreme drought. that only feeds these wildfires. here's something that may work in their favor. we have some showers and storms that are going to be rolling through tonight. the other thing we think about though with that is the threat for lightning with some of these storms. that's a look at the w east bay, where we have low thaws and fog. otherwise, the sun is shining and it will move across the bay, marine layer are running throughout the morning. highs today ranging from the low 70's in san francisco, upper 70's in oakland, low 90

as you mentioned, shreveport, louisiana, topping out at 110. they're not alone. houston tied their all-time record the day before on thursday when they reached 109 trees. now, houston is still going to be very hot today. they peak on sunday with a high temperature only two degrees off from that record of 107. dallas peaks today. new orleans is looking at temperatures pretty consistent the next two days. but then we start to see the temperatures trop back town at least for the upcoming week. new orleans, it's still expected to remain in the triple digits, but then you'll see the temperatures coming back closer to the normal. we've already started to see the relief in the upper midwest. all of this red cover had been as far north as minneapolis a fu-tes ago. we're starting to see that shrink back down to the south, and we'll continue to see it shrink even further as we go into the next 24 to 48 hours. nashville, st. louis, little rock are going to start seeing those temperatures coming back down in the coming days. it's going to linger right along the gulf coast at

, all right, what are the three biggest industries in the state of louisiana? and do can't name one right. so then he's like you're a nazi that doesn't want to just you want to disavow your nazi past be an economic job creator but you don't know any of the industries in louisiana are these two types of things a governor should know, like who the largest employer, how many people are at the poverty line, etc. . and that one i like a lot and it it cayo duke and to day actually i when i go down to new orleans and if someone recognizes me they'll oh your dad got killed. david duke us in an election thank you so much. i appreciate it. there you go. and so that was good. i would say. i actually really liked cnbc show which was an hour interview format that kind of was like the original larry king, charlie rose. they would just sort of sit and chat and. i liked that because he would interview sports and interview musicians and interview politicians and whatnot and that one i liked is he had a really interesting interview with like yogi berra on that, which i liked. an

he writes a letter to the governor, newly elected governor of louisiana. saying, i suggested in the new constitution that is going to be drawn up, you include voting rights at least for veterans of the union army and the very intelligent. the fact that lincoln then, as part of this new birth of freedom, publicly announces that, two days after robert e. lee surrenders, is noteworthy because it means he is shifting away from a rather moderate position on reconstruction, to a much more radical position. frederick douglass said that i was in that audience that day, april 11th, 1865, and i was disappointed in the scope of the recommendation for black voting rights. because it was so limited, just to the veterans of the armed forces on the very intelligent. but we should've recognized, and many of my abolitionists friends were also disappointed. but we should recognize that that was an extremely important speech, because abraham lincoln learned his statesmanship in the school of rail splitting. to split a rail, you take a wedge. you insert the thin edge of the w
