new york city.but very quickly the electrical grid was extended to middle class neighborhoods in new york city so that by turn of the century, if you were living in a middle class section of new york city or middle class section of chicago or i don't know, evanston, you had electric lights. that's a fundamental transformation of the way your life works, changes, all sorts of things. just to have electricity, which is a long winded way of saying that a good swath of american society, the richest americans and a growing middle class, the industrial system wasn't, a burden at all. it was this very excite thing that was bringing a call of life to and your family that was unprecedented. and the industrial system needed those. it needed them as working people in their offices. it needed them as consumers consumers. but and you knew this was coming, but what they needed more. were people to work in the mines to work in the mills to work in the factories, to run the machines that made the industrial system

new york city's mayor urging the entire city to stay indoors. >> this is not the data train for a marathonto do an outside event with your children. >> reporter: the effects of breathing the smoke toxic particulars continuously are comparable to smoking up to a half a pack of cigarettes or more. and emergency rooms worried about the commutative impact from days of dangerous air now preparing for potential patients potential patients. >> the more exposure folks have, the more likely it is that they'll be sick. reporter like the low visibility even delaying flights in and out of new york city area airports at one point the average flight to laguardia delayed nearly two hours. more than 6 million acres have already burned in what's shaping up to be canada's worst fire season on record. at the white house today pressed on the situation. >> it is yet another alarming example of the ways in which the climate crisis is disturbing our lives and our communities. >> reporter: with hundreds of fire still burning out of control, that smoke will just keep coming. and david, we just heard from new york

and it is notjust in new york city. rned because of the high pollutants and the poor air quality everywhere from new york to minnesota. and what is causing all of this? well, it is the wildfires that have been raging in quebec for the last few weeks. more than 160 wildfires as of last count. you can see here this is a satellite image showing roughly the plumes of smoke that are drifting from those wildfires down further south. to give you a sense of where that is, that is this area here, and it is moving all the way across the border into the united states. this is the new york city area there. so definitely, you know, experts are saying this could be harmful to human health, and meteorologists are saying this could go on for several more days as the canadian wildfires are still raging and sending that smoke southwards. spider—man star tom holland has become the latest celebrity to send a video message of support to a little boy recovering from a devastating car accident. the 11—year—old, also called tom, is currently in

new york city. you can see that thick smoke still hovering over new york city and it is not just the tri state area dealing with this. millions of people are under air quality alerts in the northeast as well as the northern midwestern states. chicago, we'll show you video shortly as far south as north carolina. now impacted. you mentioned it yesterday, last night new york city had the worst air quality in the entire world. here is new york city mayor eric adams moments ago talking about that. >> but anyone outdoors yesterday, you clearly saw that there was something that was happening in the city that was different. and it was sort of alarming to see. >> all this, of course, a result of those wildfires in canada. the country is bracing for its worst wildfire season ever. right now there are 400 wildfires across canada and over100 in quebec. look at new york city. there is an air quality health advisory for new york city and surrounding suburbs. public schools in new york city and also buffalo will n

at one point yesterday, new york city topped the list of the world's worst polluted cities.ay, new yorkers can barely make out the city's skyline. looks almost like the surface of mars there. there's a code red air quality warning in effect for philadelphia where all residents are urged now to stay indoors. even here in washington, d.c., we are seeing the effects, as well. cnn meteorologist jennifer gray, she's been helping us understand this. jennifer, looking at that map there, first of all, boy, look at that ranking to see the u.s. well above for a time, new york city well above some of the worst polluted cities in the world. >> uh-huh. >> tell us about that ranking, and tell us how long it's likely to stay like this. >> well, new york city right now is topping the world for the worst air quality of any major city in the entire globe. so new york city's at that number-one spot now. now this changes about every five minutes. so in the next 10 or 15 minutes, that could drop to number three, four. but regardless, over the last two days or so, new york city has fallen somewhe

this is your first time in new york city. tell me what is going through your head as you get to new york city and you see this? >> i feel like it's just like we did not expect it to look like this. and also like the smoke, we came out without the face masks at first, but as we kept on walking, we had to put it on, because it was very smoky outside. >> because it was so smoky, were you experiencing any health effects? >> i don't think, i think it's just like a runny nose because of the dust. >> have you ever seen anything like this? >> no, no never. >> it is like an apocalypse right now. >> it feels so weird, it's very intense. because of photos look so unreal. it's so wild. >> and is this going to impact the rest of your vacation? >> probably, i mean, we will still go outside, but i feel like we might have to like change some things. around. >> yeah, we planned to go to the high buildings, but i don't think we can see anything, so maybe we will change that. >> the air quality index is hazardous, so make sure that you ladies a

engulfed in a thick haze, pushing new york city to the top of the list of global cities with the worst air pollution on tuesday. the faa briefly issuing a ground stop at new york's laguardia airport with many schools and towns cancelling outdoor activities for kids. so we wanted to know the real health impack. joining us to discuss is dr. scott gottlieb, former fda commercial and cnbc contributor. good to see you again, dr. gotlieb. the is this just any exposure at the time you want to try to minimize, or could exposure create, you know, problems down the road >> you certainly want to minimize exposure. right now the air quality in new york city is about 220 oftentimeses in california when they experience fires out there, they will reach in the 300s, and so this isn't unprecedented. it's about equivalent to what you would see in a smog-filled city like new delhi or jakarta or beijing at times. a lot of the impacts we know are short term people who have pre-existing health conditions, cardio vascular disease, respiratory conditions, those could be exacerbated by the smoke and those indi

new york city gets a lot of attention. the media is based in new york city.tate new york, midwest, northeast, 150 active fires in the quebec area. that is above the normal rate of forest fires. that is what is driving a lot of this, along with winds, cold front coming in from the southern side right now. neil: hopefully not for long. just depends on the winds to your point. dr. marty makary, good seeing you again, thank you. >> thanks, neil. neil: i i want to take you to north at that coat. this is unusual entrant in the race. you might not know him. among some of the world's richest men. governor of north dakota, found ier of great plains software. he sold that at a huge profit, again wants to stake out his claim among a does or so republican presidential as per ants. mike pence joined the race yesterday. a solid 12 running a few more. at the rate we're going we could top the list of candidates in 2016. by the way, the north dakota governor will be my special guest 4:00 p.m. on "your world." fortunately doesn't have to find his way here. he will come remotel

since last spring, 72000 asylum-seekers have passed through new york city. ow, 46000 are currently in the care of the city. >> addison, thank you very much. of course they keep coming. nicole malliotakis is a republican from new york and she joins me to talk about this. good morning. i know you're not a fan of this plan, right? >> of course i'm not a fan, it is outrageous. not only does new york city have a housing crisis, we have an affordability crisis. people renting apartments for thousands, people are having difficulty paying their mortgage, their rent and keeping up with property taxes and the mayor is telling hard-working taxpayers they need to pay so individuals who have crossed illegally into our border can live rent free. what planet are we living on? it's outrageous and the mayor i've said before, needs to challenge and he is by the way, finally after i've been calling him for years, the challenge to write to talk shelter law, it will go before a judge because it was intended for homeless new yorkers, citizens who go in difficult times, to give the

but just a really bizarre day to see this in new york city. realize that we are hundreds of miles away from these fires. if you're in los angeles or san francisco, usually you're 20, 30 miles from the fires, then it hits the city and makes sense. we're hundreds of miles away from these fires, and this is the effect in a place like new york city and even farther south. back to you. >> yeah. the smoke is being felt in a widespread area including here in d.c. i looked outside of my apartment this morning, and you could see a similar haze that you're seeing in new york. you described it as a happy accomplice. i'm wondering if you've heard from folks in times square how they're coping with it. >> reporter: well, i can show you that some of the people, there's a lot of tourists here. some of the folks have masks. thankfully many people have their masks left overfrom covid. so there's a lot of -- leftover from covid. so there's a lot of masks. not as many as you might think, but there are people wearing masks. most people are coping just fine. it's j

, 880 homeless children and adults who are not illegal alien s or migrants on the streets of new york city shelters, these larger shelters. they aren't in hotels, right? they aren't going into somebody 's condo, that the city is going to pay for. what happened to these people? so this is, the argument is there seems to be not only points about the notion of, you know, what already new yorkers can't pay for their apartments, but then for those who even like scoot by, this inevitably is going to make prices rise because the city is not going to pay a low price, right? they are going to pay probably higher, and that's what they are going to pay the higher prices, giving americans, new yorkers the money. the fact of the matter is that that then changes the marketplace itself and there's already not enough apartments. we clearly know now there's no hotel rooms that are being taken up for this space so you're looking at an economic dynamic that then some people are going to want, they are probably going to prefer the city. this is like a socialism dynamic about single payer healthcare. people al

neil: in a haste haze, looking live at new york city and philadelphia international airport where conditions from the smoke from the canadian wild fires continues to worsen. the air quality in new york said to be the worst in 35 years as long as we've been keeping records, the worst on earth and 18 states issuing air quality alerts and warning 55 million in the path of all this that things are going to be dicey and be careful. people with breathing issues warned to stay indoors and newark, la guardia, and other airports seeing delays due to reduced visibility and sometimes no visibility. this is what it looks like in new york city today. by the way, this is what it looks like on the surface of mars. tell me if you can catch the difference. i could not. how bad is all this going to get? let's go right now to adam cots following all this for us. he'll indeed be getting us that and nate foy in new york bearing the brunt of this. nate has been owl there all day long. what a trooper. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. i've been safely ensconced indodoors and not putting up wih what these guys a

this is the new york pizza party. >> sandra: nate foye is at john's of bleaker street in new york cityere is a lot of out rage about this. new york, you think of pizza. this changes things. >> it's a big part of new york city's culture. so is john bleaker's. one of the most iconic pizza shops in new york city. according to new proposed rules from new york city, any business with a coal or wood-fired oven purchased before 2016 would have to attempt to lower carbon emissions by 75%. one way to do that, sandra, would be to purchase filters that could cost $20,000. a lot of pizza shop owners are worried about the costs associated with that and also the possible impact on the tails of their pizza. as you saw a lot of people upset, not just business owners. this protestor at city hall throwing pizza over the gate chantsing give me pizza or give me death. eric adams respond to that. >> let's let the public weigh in and then we can have a conversation if we will move forward or not. the public can weigh in without throwing pizza over might have gate. >> so the city estimates this is going to i

new york city's mayor eric adams is about to give an update on the city's dangerous air quality as hundredstrol wildfires are burning millions of acres across canada sending very thick, hazardous clouds of smoke into the u.s. blanketing large portions of the midwest and northeast putting tens of millions of americans under air quality alerts. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good morning. >> bill: good morning. saw a little haze throughout the air in ohio. saw a lot of it in new york. it looked like october outside the window. i'm bill hemmer. folks from the

orange across new york city, and so many cities in the east coast. it looks eerily similar to what we went through just a few years ago. so how does it compare right now in terms of air quality? >>> also, we investigate a massive pg&e maintenance backlog in high fire-risk areas. you're watching nbc bay area news tonight. >>> welcome back to nbc bay area news tonight. the east coast is very orange, very hazy, and very unhealthy. have you even seen this? can you see through it here? wildfire smoke trifting from canada is impacting air quality in a big way. new york city hit hard. times square there, hazy, orangish. here is another view from manhattan. the washington bridge earlier today. here is a look across the hudson river now at the newark airport. planes still taking off and landing, despite the poor visibility. >>> tonight, a little less orange, but still extremely hazy. the new york city skyline at dusk. all of this looks eerily similar to what we saw across the bay area a few years ago. remember that? september of 2020, all those orange skies,

than 150 wildfires in canada drifting south causing code red unhealthy air quality alert in new york city in the city now. how much of a health risk is this? >> certainly not good for anybody but particularly people with respiratory issues, young children, older adults are encouraged to limit time outdoors because of the conditions we are seeing. for a moment new york city had the worst air quality in the entire world. things have improved at least extensively here in new york city. he people see people walking around but perhaps it's deceptive. take a live look at the skyline just before 10:00 a.m., you see smoke when going over the city, millions, not only the tri-state area are under air quality alert, it's impacting new england, parts of new england as well as the northern midwestern states because of this. over 400 wildfires burning in total in canada particularly smoke impacting us coming from over 100 fires burning in quÉbec but look at the impact in new york city last night, the state department of environmental conservation issued air quality health advisory for not only new york

we will see an improvement in new york city but then we will see it get worse to the west. the worst visibility is right there in new york. 1.25 is the visibility. this is a time lapse throughout the day. as the day went on, it progressively got worse. you can barely see the size scrapers. it will continue to stay bad throughout the overnight hours. topping the world right now with the worst air quality of any major city. on the top 10 list ever since the last two days. we have gotten extremely bad on healthy air-quality. it is hazardous for a lot of people. folks are urged to stay indoors. you can see that this is wind driven. pushing the smoke into the northeast in new england. it will stay bad and get a little bit better by tomorrow morning in new york. while it progressively gets better across new york, the ohio valley will start to see thick smoke move in there. depending on the wind direction he will push the smoke one way or the other. we still have poor air quality alerts all across the ohio valley and portions of northeast new england. this will be a long-term probl

ashley: to change subjects, congestion pricing coming to new york city, the city would charge drivers you agree with that plan? >> no. what the governor announced his driving is best reserved for the rich. we have to look across the pond to your native country to look at london and notice it is more congested than new york city, 65% of londoners voted against expanding their version of congestion. this is not something that will work. the mda documents show it won't reduce congestion anywhere, when generated enough revenue for the mta. it will have absolutely no impact on climate change or whatever. this is essentially a tax on hard-working middle-class people who have the unfortunate necessity of needing a car to work. ashley: speaking of london you are right but still absolutely jampacked. i want to get to this issue that has gotten a lot of pushback, the city looking to crack down on pizzerias that use coal-fired ovens. they would have to cut emissions by 75% based on these new rules. given what else is going on in this city, is this what we should be focusing on? >> this is one of

after new york city registered what's likely its worst air quality of all time on wednesday. o the south and west from new jersey to pennsylvania to d.c. and beyond enveloped in that toxic haze. overnight, harrisburg, pennsylvania, hitting 491 on the air quality indexes 1 to 500 scale, even worse than new york city's 484 on wednes wednesday. in washington, d.c. the city's first code purple air quality advisory, signifying very unhealthy air. the white house forced to postpone a pride event on the south lawn that some 2,000 people were set to attend. health officials warning continued exposure to the particulates in the air is especially harmful to young children. in the source of the smoke, the wildfires burning in canada. hundreds of them still out of control in multiple parts of the country. the u.s. has sent assets and more than 600 firefighters to canada so far. david, newark's governor said they'll be sending forest rangers to canada, joining firefighters from other border states like new hampshire and maine and while new york city's air quality is clearly improved, it is

the worst mayor new york city history. this is perfect, and stanford would never have done that. it was too long. big hoops at stanford. class of politicians who only think of themselves, thinking about winning a new assignment, placating and making happy some kind of donor class and everything else goes out the window, not just adults trying to make a living in the city, the greatest city in the world, new york city, the capital of the world has been crushed under these democrats are ages and then the children are the ones, the masking that was unnecessary. this dynamic where we need to see teachers union people. something has happened with the generation of people who have come out of the economy where only they matter. yelling and waving papers and what they think is right and what they want. not only the children but they loathe the parenting think there better and that is the result, the crushing of children's spirit, education and as a result, if they win and they end the left does. a generation of young people not e

i have so many climate change activist friends in new york city. i tell them, please go to north korea because we have all every day. we don't have any pollution. we have an energy consumption. it is a literally utopia. they can imagine. so you will impact on nature. boring that country. the very thing that my mom told me as a young girl, don't even whisper. she said, because birds and mice. could you hear me? she said, the most thing that i had in my body was my tongue. if i said one thing, one word wrong, it was just not going to only get me. it was going to kill three two in its age. generations of my family with me. that's how i learned not to even whisper and not even think. and that threshold to get executed in paradise is laughably. people get executing because in north korea, every classroom, every have their portraits of dictators kim il-sung, kim il, kim jong un and their wife. the middle. 90. they'll officers kick your door and come and see those cloth and wipe the portrait. there's a tiny bit scattered on that portrait. that's how you e

new york city, our earth cam showing just how thick this haze is getting in new york city, that's the skyline. and this has caused the federal aviation administration to implement a stop in flights doing to laguardia, they are kept at the departing airports until 2:00 eastern time, about 21 minutes from now. i imagine it could be extended, that was an faa bulletin a short time ago. they say the chance of an extension right now is low, but the delays could follow. ment we also have the images of newark on the right side, all flights bound to newark are delayed for their departing airports until midnight tonight, and low visibility is the cause for that. so far airlines in the u.s. have canceled 74 flights. the number is growing. delayed almost 1300 flights, according to the track site flight aware. so faa is saying this extreme wildfire smoke-haze over the northeast u.s. due to canadian wildfires could delay flights through boston, new york, philadelphia, new york, washington, d.c., and obviously the ongoing safety and health concerns as a result of this. many schools have canceled the

stupid people. >> no wondered you see exodus out of new york city to live elsewhere, from subbushes a musical as if vel over the weekend makes a big buzz this morning stay with us for this. ♪ ♪ ... ♪ ♪ maria: and this is "the big buzz" of the morning, an emotional moment during singer lewis c. pali's concert over the weekend who was unable to sing one of his hit songs after losing his voice. fans quickly realized what was happening, and they began filling in for him, as the band played. the 26-year-old revealed he is taking a break from touring for "the foreseeable future" as he struggles with tourettes and faces mental health issues. tiana, this was so emotional because people realized he was having a problem on stage and they all started singing for him >> just as you can judge a man by his enemies you can also judge an artist by his fans and the fact that there wasn't this diva response. they came in and they supported him. i love to see that. that's the sign of an artist cultivating love and goodness in the world and just all of the support to him we can give him. maria: yes and

york city skyline. another look at what we're seeing today. ominous start to the morning with a red sun blazing over the hudson bay. smoke continues to sit just over the city and it is causing a lot of irritation. standing out here for the last couple of hours my eyes continue to water and feel irritable. we expect the smoke will stick around and make it difficult for a lot of people to get around. new york city a commuter city. a lot of people walking to get to their offices and to and from home. so it is best that you stay indoors as long as you possibly can and make sure you are taking precautions especially those sensitive like young children. >> dana: jane, thank you so much. joining us for more on the growing health risk is dr. saphier. i notice that a few people have actually broken out their n-95 masks. can it help in a situation like this? >> that's a good question. while we can say with confidence the single air cloth mask and probably the single layer medical masks won't do much when it comes

new york city, this is wednesday 9:00, you can see we have very, very thick smoke over new york city, but then by the time we get into later this morning or into this afternoon, it really starts to improve across new york. we see a little bit of it in d.c. but then the deep areas of red really start to push down into the ohio valley by the time we get into friday afternoon. and so you can see while it improving for some, it will worsen for others. and i think that that will be the trend moving forward over the next couple of days and unfortunately weeks to come until we can get a change in the weather pattern. here are the fires and you can see the satellite picture from space all of the smoke just diving straight south. and also reminder still very early in the fire season for canada, we're just getting going. and so we probably have a lot more of this to deal with. but it has been a staggering year for wildfires. for 2023 so far, we've already burned more than 9 million acres, that is almost triple what we've burned for the entire year for 2022. and also for 2020, it was a low year.

i would risk being stabbed to go to a great pizza place in new york city.s worth it to me. >> well, the thing is if you live in new york city there's a chance you could possibly be stabbed on your way to grab a piece of delicious pieces a. there's crime anywhere. the leftists are focused on climate change agenda when they're out to make our life amaze -- miserable. the filth on the sidewalks but the focus on pizza ovens makes no sense when you consider the small businesses what they've been through the past few years with covid the restrictions the shut down's. earlier i was listening to the guys who run grimaldi's here. they said in order to cut carbon emissions they have invest like $20 $20,000-100,000 and this could change the taste of the pieces a. that's the last any of us want. >> can you only charge so much for a pizza to make that cost adjustment they're demanding out of this climate alarmism. and by the way the "new york post" calculated today that would be about what, 385 years or 400 years of john kerry flying his private jet. >> that's the utter

you will see, perhaps, a landmark case in new york city.cause of the climate we are income of the crime situation we are in, and now, every once in a while, a case like this comes around. >> jessica: there will certainly be a lot of interest in it and i think they set up to 15 years in prison, which is a really long time, but in defense of alvin bragg bringing charges and having to bring this to a grand jury, a man is dead. right? if this had been some sort of attack and jordan neely, when he was put into the recovery position, popped up and the cops came and they took him away, that would be one thing. but someone did die, and judge pierro, when we are talking about this, pointed that out, it obviously makes it more complicated to just go, daniel penny is a hero and walk away because there is one who is no longer alive as a result of that. whether his life is as meaningful to some people as a former marine, someone who served our country, i am not want to make that kind of judgment, this is someone who had a tragic life, we know what happe
