john thomas gave an update. this involves jefferson street from hyde to jones. the street is currently 37 feet wide and is one way with two traffic lanes westbound and parking on both sides of the street. the project will narrow the street to 24 feet wide with one traffic lane in each direction and no street parking. there will be no dedicated bike lanes, bicycles will use the street. this project was originally conceived as a shared public way where motor vehicles, pedestrians and bikes would all share the same surface, but has been revised based partly on the input from the blind focus group that mod had, revised so it will be a traditional raised sidewalk so the pedestrians are separated from cars. there will be a pedestrian accessible signal at jones and jefferson. the signals at jefferson and hyde are not signalized anyway and that will remain the same. there are ramps to some of the restaurants, mostly restaurants and stores, because of the change in level. in front of some of those buildings they will also install stairs to improve general access and in s

chris: one of the merp history, coincidence, john adams and thomas jefferson died on the same day. not just any day. they died within a few hours of each other on july 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the declaration of independence. that same hbo series ends this way -- >> it's the fort. >> yes, sir. -- it's the fourth. >> yes, sir. >> what's the others? >> it's july the 4th. it was 50 years ago today our >> it's july the 4th. it was 50 years ago today our nation was born. >> thomas jefferson. chris: history record the fact that jefferson had died before john adams. pretty close there. when we come back, what advice could president obama felony from other presidents that he -- glean from other presidents that he might not know to ask? what will be the biggest problem he might not know to ask? what will be the biggest problem in chris: welcome back. in his first inaugural address president obama invoked the founding fathers. >> our founding fathers were failsed with perils that we are sayersly imagine for the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of gen

thomas jefferson c. john adams the answer:c.s president george washington commissioned the building of the white house during his term as president. however, construction was not completed until three years into the term of america's second president john adams. president adams and his family moved from philadelphia, pennsylvania to the white house in 1800. it is a collection day. rain is imminent. we have some reports of snow to the west of us. the wind chills make it feel like it is a low 30's. dew point is 33. the water temperature is at 47. a big storm coming up the east coast. this is less than a week and a half after sandy hit the midlantic coast. by thursday we should be getting up to the upper 50s. here is when it gets seriously warmer. on saturday and sunday. there's quite a demarcation between the cold air that come in monday. there could be heavy rain as that happens. look at the pressure gradient right there. this will sit there and spendin. it is going to sit there and do its thing for a while. we will widen the vie

and the ceo and founder of john thomas financial.re talking about is -- we don't have a deal, we are trying to reach a deal. we are about to see huge tax hikes and defense cuts and a bunch of other tax and popular measures that will go ... if this deal kicks. now they found a way to avoid that. it's done. time is out. they are very, very focused now. we heard republicans focusing more on not raising tax rates for the rich but getting rid these loopholes, deductions for the rich which is what romney talked about without specifics. what is specifically likely to go away and for whom. >> i think at the end it goes further that that. none of those solutions really close the gap. they don't get you closed. they are all a drop in the bucket. that's what's so terrifying about this problem. without the accompanying cut in spending, big cuts, this huge gap is going to continue. if you confiscated all the wealth of the top 2%. take away their money and give it to the government it wouldn't involve the problem. we have a huge hole. megyn: that'

thomas marking professor john selter says it comes down to competition and target is simply supplyingemand. >> nobody wants to come in second in that race. so it's really a question to look at people are thinking about shopping. they want to go shopping. >> reporter: like paco even though this year his job at a call center requires him to work on thanksgiving, too. >> part of my paycheck, you know. i get a lot of time to spend with my family on my days off and i use that time wisely. >>> here's something you rarely ever see down under. this is mother nature turning up the normally tranquil waters off the coast of australia with a rare waterspout. this happened earlier today after new south wales. the storm brought rain, hail and lightning, but no damage or injuries were reported. >>> brenda knew exactly what that was when she saw it. >> i was tracking this earlier. it was amazing when the photos came in over twitter and we had form chasers in sydney snapping photographs reporting on it. something we're beginning to see a lot of is lighting of christmas trees. it's the season. good eve

this week's book is "thomas jefferson, the art of power" by my guest today, john meacham. off his pedestal and presents him as the politician that he was, artful, ruthless, manipulative. it describes him as a politician, not a saint. and our last look. judging by the buying spree on black friday, i think it's fair to say the u.s. economy is moving forward. but the eurozone is officially in a double dip recession and, therefore, is a victim of falling tax revenues. so governments need to find new sources of revenue. what to do? sell stuff. in italy, they were selling everything but the church. now they are selling the church, sort of. for about $125,000, you can have your name engraved on one of the 135 splendid spires of milan's cathedral. if you've had your eye on that beach house or this home in barcelona, $200,000 or more to buy in the country, residency will come gratis. the plan is for citizenship and an eu passport to be given to anyone who buys hungarian bonds worth $325,000 or more. an eu passport. they are putting black friday to shame. the correct answer to our g

[applause] and supporters. crowd: tommy, tommy! thank you, thank you. just know that we fought the good fight. we came up short but that does not mean we should keep fighting for our principles, our ideals, and our beliefs. we have -- [applause] we have a state to build behind scott walker and jb and senator johnson and our congressman who won reelection to light. -- tonight. we have a country to be able to chart a new direction to rid the have to continue that fight -- new direction. because this country has been so good to all of us. if

. >> joining us the founder and ceo of john thomas financial? skittish right now about investing their money, and i guess they're nervous about the unknown. >> that's correct. >> how do you interpret the selloff this week? >> no question of volatility from wednesday and thursday related to the election, you had a lot of big money based on a romney victory so you're seeing the unwinding of the romney positions taking place, and unfortunately, this administration is not, so, you're seeing a lot of the coal stocks ran up. getting killed and sectors like technology happening as well. because people don't know why or where they should spend the mine with the uncertainty of the fiscal cliff and global scale. >> the fiscal cliff was a certainty no matter who was elected though, wasn't that baked in? >> i don't think so, why? because now people are wondering, okay, what's going to happen with my wallet? where should i direct my money? should i keep more cash on the sidelines. >> should i invest my cash now. until that fiscal cliff is addressed there's g

wonderful correspondence between the two of them and they recalled their days in paris and john adams wrote to thomasefferson john quincy had become more of a son to you than to me so that is how close he was to jefferson as a boy. but then later on of course he comes to power and he begins usurping power and this went against the grain as far as he was concerned he was a strict constitutionalist and believed in the letter of the constitution jefferson pretended to. he was in the rights of the declaration of independence all men are created equal it's the revolution that goes on to monticello and doesn't fire a shot in the war and goes home to monticello and watches them from the plantation. >> more than that -- >> so they fell out later on in their public lives. later when jefferson and john adams retired they began corresponding with each other and they formed a warm friendship but john quincy adams never -- he voted for jefferson, he was the first to -- the only federalist to vote for jefferson's louisiana purchase when john quincy adams was the senator but then turned around and fought jefferson'

. >> joining me, john meacham, author of "thomas jefferson: the art of power" and jane mayer of "theker." we have been told that broadwell has been cleared, but yet as we sit here, the fbi is completing a search of her house. why would they be searching her house if they have already concluded there is nothing criminal here? >> well, petraeus is cleared as well. i mean, there are many strange aspects of this investigation. and lots still to know. but i have to say, one of the things that i think is really troubling is why this investigation ever became what it is. why did it even take off. why is it public? apparently there have been several reports have come out late today, saying that the squalled threatening e-mails that were sent, it turns out from paula broadwell were not terribly threatening in the first place. they were kind of in the order of sassing this other woman jill kelly and basically telling her to back off a little. but the fbi in tampa that first looked at it, they were really not sure they wanted to get into this thing, because the federal bureau of investigation,

thomas pinckney because they do preach nonviolence. hamilton said that earlier post on adams. now he's all worried that if you southerners, because he's the federalist, would not vote for john maddens jefferson the republican will get president. so he writes a letter. now he's in treaty, the northern elect are scum adults throw away any votes for pickney. we need them all. meanwhile, she's hoping some of the southerners won't know for adams and they will vote in south carolina. south carolina is up for grabs because it was a swing state. pick from south carolina could get more votes even though he was the vice presidential candidate. as it turned out, adams did just squeak through. too many people did throw away the vote. remember, he was trying to get to stay firm and they didn't. and so, jefferson was vice president. so the first only time the nations history, we have one party president and there's a very, very brief honeymoon in jefferson and adams quickly get to fighting in jefferson tells they were walking on fifth street one night and started arguing and went their separate ways and that was the last thing they communicated two months of the administration. and now, see if

the top people obviously would be thomas jefferson, john adams, washington, hamilton. those would probably be the top four. c-span: what were their relationships with women? >> guest: well, jefferson is probably the one whose relationships with women are--his are most thoroughly documented. he had a--his wife died when he was young, and he had very close relationships with his daughters, with whom he exchanged a voluminous correspondence, which is now all published. and he had a great interest in their well-being and that their education, that they married well and so on. so yeah, he's certainly someone who deserves a--you know, whose writing on this is--has--is one of the most important sources. c-span: one of the things i noted is you mentioned abigail adams, john adams' wife. and i wanted to ask you what's in the famous 'remember the ladies' to her husband--letter or what was that? >> guest: letter, yes. c-span: and why did you use that here? >> guest: well, this is a letter where she writes to john adams right at the moment of the declaration of ince. and she says,

for instance, going back even further to 1796, the first contested election, when john adams and thomas jefferson, the compatriots 20 years earlier who combined to bring the declaration of independence into being were now fierce political rivals. they maintained a friendship of sorts as jefferson served as adams' vice president, which was the result of the way presidents and vice presidents were elected back then. something that changed soon after. jefferson and adams had begun to form what were the beginnings of the two political parties, adams, a federalist, along with alexander hamilton, who was no great friend or ally of john adams, and jefferson on the other side of what was then known as the democratic republican, and that's why alluded to the fact that jefferson said, we are all federalists, we're all republicans, trying to bridge the separation. so, that election had begun with complaints that adams was a mono this. there were newspapers of the day, the aurora, the most famous in philadelphia, published by benjamin franklin's grandson that called adams an overweight, corrupt mon

and what was his connection to john adams and thomas jefferson. >> guest: i stumbled across this book, this project, when i was researching, where good ideas come from and i thought i was getting ready to write where good ideas come from and i stumbled across joseph priestly and i got so obsessed and i convinced my publisher to let me write another book before good ideas. priestly was a incredible figure of the 18th century. one of the great eccentric visionary minds of that period who not enough people know about. he's most famous for isolating oxygen for the first time. though he didn't actually do it for the first time and, when he did, instead of calling it oxygen he had called it defliscated air. which is not a very catchy title. he is in the britannica, that is his main claim to fame. he did number of other things. the most important one he was first person to truly realize, this was his first great breakthrough, he was the first person to realize plants were creating air. so the reason we have a breatheable atmosphere in the earth, actual oxygen, actual composition of oxygen on

has hit a new low, mccullough would remind you of the presidential election of 1800, when thomas jefferson beat john. the mudslinging in that campaign... >> mccullough: brutal. >> safer: ...makes today's look quite tame. >> mccullough: well, jefferson was paying a slander specialist, a journalist, to go after adams, writing that he was mentally unbalanced, he was a hermaphrodite, all these things. >> safer: a hermaphrodite. >> mccullough: and... yeah. >> safer: the adams camp fired back, saying if jefferson were elected, murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest would sweep the land. a gentler time? hardly. >> mccullough: it was rough and tough. when adams was vice president, presiding over the house of representatives, they went at each other on the floor with fire tongs. they grabbed the fire tongs off and come hammering each other. imagine how that would look on the nightly news. >> safer: in the long history of this country, who was the greatest president? >> mccullough: george washington was our greatest president in that he set the standard. he had no example to go by. if he had been a fool o

john, good morning. >> good morning, thomas.oting here in cincinnati stretches all the way to the end of this block and beyond. it's a three-hour wait for the people at the end of that line and where they're trying to get, it's going to take three hours to get to the front of the line, which you can barely see at the other end of this block. this is a tight, tight race. almost a million six early ballots have been cast in ohio so far. about a million three mail-in absente absentees. about a half million voted in person like these folks here in cincinnati. it's a tight race according to the nbc news "wall street journal" marrist poll. just about an hour ago, we got the final ohio poll from the university of cincinnati that shows that the president has only a 1.5 point lead. this state has been saturated with tv ads in the final days, here in cincinnati alone, 9800 tv ads since the beginning of october alone. that's an average of 338 ads a day. looked at in another way, if someone were to sit down and watch those back-to-back, it

john adams and hamilton, very, very shaky allies in the federalist party. thomas jefferson leading what would become the democratic republicans. democratic republicans later became so dominant that by the time john adams signed, john and cnn's becomes president, he's a democrat. he's completely left the federalist fold. the federalist party is essentially dead. what happened then was the rest of andrew jackson on the democratic arty, much more as we know it today and became for a little while a single party except there were those in the country who are really opposed to jackson and this became the assets of the whig party. it wasn't so much a political party as an anti-jackson party and the whigs came along and henry clay perhaps, if we want to talk about forgotten people from an 18th century, henry clay isn't so much forgotten, but overlooked because he never became president. perhaps the most prominent american at this time he didn't become president. since from the subject of elections and scandal, there is a pamphlet produced when henry clay was running again

clearly drawn in the sand as i mentioned earlier in the interview, john adams and hamilton, very shaky allies here in the federalist party, thomas jefferson leading what would become the democratic republicans, they later, at the democrats became so dominant that by the time john adams's friend john quincy adams becomes president he is a democrat, completely left the federalist fold, the federalist party is essentially dead. what happened was the rise of andrew jackson and the democratic party, much more as we know it today and it became for a little while it was a single party exit there were those in the country who were really opposed to jackson and this became the essence of the whig party. it was so much a political party as it was an anti jackson party and the whigs came along and henry clay, if we want to talk about forgotten people from the nineteenth century henry clay is not so much forgotten but overlooked because he did never become president. the most prominent american of his time who didn't become president and since we are on the subject of elections and scandal there was a pamphlet produced when henry clay was r

it is interesting that two of america's greatest thinkers john adams and thomas jefferson were not at philadelphia. adams was the american minister to the court of st. james. jefferson the american minister to paris. jefferson made a tremendous contribution. he sent to his friend madison over 200 bucks -- books on political thought, political history. my surmise is that some of those books must have been about the dutch federation. jefferson was not there. he did get his hands on a copy very quickly of the constitution. we e-mail the copy for him over in paris. he said, where is the bill of rights? the answer was, there is no bill of rights. every people on earth is untitled by nature -- entitled by nature to a constant -- to a bill of rights which protect them against their government. this foreshadowed a problem. george mason was one of the members of the virginia delegation. he had written the declaration of the rights for the state of virginia in 1776. it was a few months before jefferson wrote the declaration of independence. when the convention was over, mason, who was a member
