about 12:00 that night, i was landed at willard's ferry where i met with mr. clark, my brother, louis, and others in the employee of the immigration and from whom i ascertained that one detachment had crossed the river and were then enkafrmed a short distance off and that george hicks, peter hildebrand, and richard taylor's detachment had not yet crossed but were in readiness for the purpose. i directed it to be distinctly made known that no change could be made from completing the journey by land and it was evident these alarming tales about the roads from missouri were in great measure magnified for effect. but however true the scarcity and high prices for supplies immediately on the road might prove to be, that supplies should be procured, cost what they would. if they were to be had at all within reach of the route of their travel. preparations were then directed for taking up the line of march the next morning, which was done accordingly. and i might add that while the cherokees were in charge of their own removal, there's never any complaint of lack of f

he knows the drinking game at the willard hotel in london.into the cozy bar there, and there's four other establishments -- in washington, i should say. the big mystery right now is how do we migrate from $2.25 trillion down to whatever the number is going to be? greg: i think it is a tweak. i think there will be some reductions. think the republicans will be 100 percent united, and a couple of democrats, including joe manchin, will not agree to $2.25 trillion. i think the final number will be around a mere $1.8 trillion. tom: what is your response to people that add up stimulus one, two, three, four? what is your all in stimulus number? tony: all in was probably 6 -- greg: all in is $6 trillion in fiscal. you've got a fed chairman who's basically promising the rate hikes. it is not a surprise this economy is about to blastoff. jonathan: are you taking bipartisan talks seriously in washington? greg: no, i don't think so. there will be the pretense of bipartisan talks. they will say they want to get along, but biden has very suddenly changed h

i said, i live on willard avenue . they never asked me my apartment number.ight families in this place that could have voted. they did not ask me my apartment. i walked over and got a ballot. i filled it out and i put it in the slot and i walked out. do you think my vote was counted? i have been voting since 1954. i have never in my whole time of voting been treated like that. usually, you walk over to the table and they ask you for your identification. this is in newington, connecticut. i mean, are you telling me that this election was not rigged? i went to bed at night. there is no hope. joe biden was going to win this presidency if there was no other way. host: the issue of voter id came up a number of times this week. here is a comment from burgess owens who testified about his experiences growing up under jim crow laws in florida. >> my father allowed me to demonstrate in a demonstration with college students. i was the youngest participant. in the seventh grade, my school never received new books. at service stations, there were white men only restrooms

three rounds of boxing you'll ever see willard didn't answer the bell for the fourth round. he went down multiple times in the first round. there was a lot of money gambled for that fight. some of which was was bet on a first-round knockout and so dempsey was doing his best. there's a questionable bell at the end of the first round that nobody heard and so willard was able to make it to the second round and continue getting a beating one of the most interesting things about the fight is jimmy breslin once wrote that the roaring twenties were born in toledo, ohio on july 4th 19 at this fight. the people that came to this fight the list is incredible to who's who of the roaring twenties toledo at that time was really centrally located with within all the railroad systems. so it was very easy for people to get here and plenty of hotels you have an 80,000 seed arena. it was the perfect venue for biggest fight of the century. first thing to notice here is miller is just barely up. you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country at c-span.org

we're going to talk in two weeks, read another documents to think about that other aspect of willards' map. how do we get from that story to the spread of that story west? what's the relationship between manifest destiny and ideas such as that? let me leave it there and ask if there's any questions about this that you want to talk about. just to review on some of the important points, it takes cultural means to build a history. history doesn't just happen. it has to be written by somebody. it has to be spread in some kind of means. that could be speeches, memorials, textbooks, any number of things. it doesn't just happen. right? it has -- there has to be cultural intermediaries. if they are from a certain section, highlighting the importance of that section to the nation becomes one of the sort of crucial features of that. right? so if all the historians were from jamestown, what would our american history look like now? most of the historians were from new england. this idea of the importance of the mayflower becomes sort of crucial to the whole thing. any questions? any thoughts? an
