the new york historical society, because philip hoehn, who was the past mayor of new york city wrote an extensive self diary account of. his visit to our on my and he gives a full page description of what he saw and this description in the diary is in the new york historical society. and i was really, really delighted to be able to use that the book. but i think important to recognize what he saw when he came to the salon in new york city. a captain bears and this is the captain who brought her from china he said in the diary her appearance is exactly the same as the figures on teach us a large head. small features and a countenance devoid of expression in her foot is great curiosity. it is not four inches in length. so this is interesting to me because is presenting from boy as and her visage an object and because he has seen before chinese people but only on teach us in his experi and so i just think that's really interesting that we see this visual image that the khans paying for and promoting and that's what american would be seeing. yeah definitely. and i mean there is sort of t

i'm surfing in new york city right now.manhattan and the busyness. i just kind of ride the train for an hour and then just show up at the beach. [music playing] audrina patridge (voiceover): today i'm taking on the atlantic face first with help from local instructors mike and mike. so guys, i've been to rockaway before. i've actually jet-skid here-- whoo. but i've never surfed. so what can i expect? you can expect nothing but the best out there today. conditions are amazing, the weather is about 85 degrees, water's warm. the waves are about two to three feet, occasional four. audrina patridge: so you're literally locals. you grew up here. yes, this is where we were, you know, born and bred. being with locals who know everything about the community, that are involved in the community. we would like to share that experience with all of our students who are coming from new york city and beyond so they can get that local experience, that local vibe, of what it's like to be a rockaway beach surfer. audrina patridge (voiceover):

cnn and the new york post were putting out, each one in their desire to be first with the news.we're not vetting the information correctly and they're putting out misinformation, including misidentification of a potential suspect. the worst thing that you can actually do, what ed davis, the police commissioner that time had going for him, however, was had embraced twitter and had twitter account that the boston police department had created. so as fast they were coming out with the misinformation, he was coming out with the correct information as the police source. new york post story is wrong, that's not the suspect. cnn got it wrong. we're not at this house to arrest the suspect. so for me, that was a wake up call because. now, instead of having to feed the media on this schedule, you to beat the 7:00 news deadline, you meet the 3:00 deadline for the evening newspaper. we effectively could go around them and tell the story through our lens challenge to do it is to do with a transparent way and to do it honestly. and i think we were able to do that. so in new york city that i b

as you mentioned, the flights in to new york. uh, seeing delays to uh, in some canceled here in new new jersey. the newer to airport has now canceled all inbound flights because of the weather conditions and because of the lack of disability because of all the smoke in the air. and, and so the impact on people continues into climate change experience warning events like this. going to become more common place. yeah, that's what people are talking about now is this goes into the 3rd day uh, wildfires and canada are not unusual. this time of year it's pretty standard operation. but because of the drought light conditions and rising temperatures, the fires have been more intense and worse, and scientists are predicting that this is going to become more and more common as the planet warms. and we had the secretary general of the united nations, of course, un headquarters, right in new york city. he tweeted a picture of himself looking out over the smoky landscape of the city from you and headquarters, making that point that this is wh

new york. see that eerie orange glow in the town of binghamton but not just new york, neil. take a look at this map. the red and orange dots show you where the air quality is the worst and see it extends as far west as chicago. you see chicago, philadelphia and detroit and canada over 400 wild fires are burning over 100 near quebec, air quality alerts are in effect as far south as north carolina and back out here live, kneel, you also mentioned we're seeing significant delays specifically here in new york at la guardia airport as well as newark international airport. average flight delays are between an hour and a half up to two hours. but if you're not traveling, if you're here in new york or in you're in the heavily impacted areas in the northeast, the upper midwest, again, even as far south as north carolina, it is best to limit the amount of time that you spend outdoors, even if you're not in the most vulnerable population. back to you, neil. >> neil: thank you, nate. i got a report from yo

let's get right back to our new york meteorologist lee goldberg from wabc here in new york.e's back to time this out for us tonight. hey, lee. >> reporter: david, it's just a frustrating forecast. we want to get outside and enjoy some nice late june weather and the poor air quality m loos. right now, it's definitely from the great lakes down to the south and the mid-atlantic, even the interior northeast. the good news is, the concentration of smoke, it's really peaking right now from places like chicago to louisville and just southwest of d.c. but when we go into tomorrow, it fans out and thins out, so, it's mostly unhealthy for sensitive groups in the tri-state area. close to new york city, it's more in the interior, new york, boston, we miss out on the worst of that. by the way, some of the storms in that poor air quality area in chicago, that will help to improve the air quality. that's on the edge of the heat dome, that sinking area of sunny, hot air there. that's expanding. new mexico, indiana, down to florida. going to feel like 115 in some areas. if you are looking fo

this was a new type of newspaper that this began in new york city, right? any ideas why it would have been called the penny press? >> [inaudible] >> it was cheaper, absolutely. yep, it was sold for a penny. you know, this was a new idea in journalism. until then newspapers had been sold mainly by subscription. they catered to the business class and political elites, and they were far more expense i have. they cost -- expensive. they cost about $10 a year for a subscription which was a lot of money back then and up to six pennies for one issue. the idea for a cheap newspaper actually didn't come from a journalist at all. it came from a medical student named horatio shepard who noticed as he walked to medical school in new york city how many vendors were on the streets selling things for just a penny. and what he noted was that people were willing to buy anything for a penny, you know? they were willing to give up a penny pretty easily. so his idea was why not sell a newspaper for a pen nicker right? and sell it -- for a penny, right? and sell it with content

the smoke has triggered unprecedented air health alarms in new york city, affecting millions of the bud sounds. i come through the mid roofing difficult, new yorkers are advised to wear face masks when outside to filter out high levels of polluting particles found in the year. new york is or smelled of something that has never impacted us on this scale before we had dangerously high levels, a wildfire smoke from thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away. the elderly and people with health conditions have been told to stay in doors. like today, i'm not going to go to the park. i usually go to the park every morning. i'm gonna stay home and i have to go because i live somewhere that's there. but otherwise, i stay home with over 400 fires, still burning across canada, the pollution will likely continue to impact bordering us states. as canadians experienced their worst of early seasons fires many see the trail of smoke as a sign of the climate crisis, which can include more frequent and even more extreme. wildfires for us get more on this from its earlier just matthew, pushy in wash

he left new york city heat in new york city, to be honest with you. d he went off the new england countryside and he became what was called a tramp, which is to say he wandered the back roads of new england, asking that they needed work, sleeping in barns. and then he finally a job in a town in central connecticut, middletown. and if you are from connecticut in a stone quarry doing the most basic work, a human being can do, breaking apart the rocks in a stone quarry at the very of the industrial system. and i'm pretty sure that it was there in stone quarry. that he first encountered that the wrong way of putting it that he encountered again a political philosophy as anarchism, not just any form of anarchism. he encountered the most radical form of anarchism. there was in the world, individual anarchism anarchism that believed that the entire industrial system, the entire social system could be in a way that would give people ordinary people like him, freedom and equality and was enthralled that set of ideas. and believe me, we are talking fringe a set

new york city, unhealthy. syracuse, new york, doc, it's off the charts. says hazardous. what is the difference, if folks are saying should i go outside or not outside, what's the difference between unhealthy and hazardous? >> one healthy you might go outside for a short period of time, i would recommend the respirator mask. if it's hazardous, you could provoke an asthma attack or another type of a problem or your oxygen level, if i was measuring would be going down. so i encourage people obviously to stay indoors when all of this is happening, and yes, i've been asked this question all day. if you are indoors and you got your air-conditioner on, your air filtration on, you are not going to have a problem. this is not seeping indoors. but a huge problem outside and in a place like syracuse, you don't want to be outside. >> john: when should people go to the emergency room? >> well, you know, i always answer that by saying it's better to be on the side of caution. but the e.r.s are overcrowded and crowded to begin with. i think if you happen to have one of those pulse oxim

new york city experienced its worst air quality on record. time in the afternoon air quality was considered hazardous, 100 million people were warned the air had become unhealthy. of course the white house is trying to blame climate change for record wildfires in canada and the smoke as a result. it was the "wall street journal" editorial row, government land management policies to prevent wildfires from spinning out of control which is prescribed burns would reduce cot emissions more than offshore wind or electric vehicle mandates. this doesn't fit with the climate left book of revelation. todd pyro is here. once again, the left is ignoring what could be the main cause forestry mismanagement because it doesn't fit into the scheme. >> "wall street journal" is spot on in our ad speaking to my friends in the logging industry, filling a movement in the u.s. and canada to not because we need the trees to last in perpetuity, that's the actual complete and proper approach because you have old dry wood that burns and you have what we have now so we
