don't jump. >> if buford does jump, he might survive the 50-foot fall. garrett said to me, the guy's going to knock himself out and he's going to fall. a minute later he said i might be going swimming today. >> and then nearly 25 minutes into the ordeal, matthew buford jumps. >> there he goes. >> oh! >> come on, y'all. what y'all going to do? >> okay. he can swim. >> after he jumped into the river, he started treading water for a while. >> swim! >> and at this time, i'm thinking, okay, where's the rescue unit at? >> i ain't got no boat. >> no matter what buford was thinking when he jumped, now in the water he seems to be fighting for his life and looks like a man who needs help. >> dude ain't doing good. >> dude ain't doing too good. >> authorities on the bridge toss down a lifeline, but it doesn't come close. you can see it off to the right. >> must have had a hundred boats out there. >> by this time buford has been struggling for almost 20 minutes in the middle of a 500-foot-wide river. >> come on, man. >> matthew buford is losing strength. for the fir

>>> there's some very warm air along buford and 52. winds are low 40s and also into. everything is dropping over but we have another day before our system really shows itself and digs down from british columbia and maybe a few high clouds. mostly sunny, mild to warm, especially inland there will be some patchy morning fog. 60s by the coast and bay. upper 60s and low 70s, if you're pushing 73 that will be santa rosa. steve, happy thursday. >> thank you, sir. >> friday eve, we're okay to start off this traffic report. let's go outside and take a look at the east is this shore freeway and you can see traffic is looking pretty good here as you drive from the bridge to the maccarthy base not a bad drive. we haven't had any major collisions along the stretch. get to the bay bridge toll plaza. it is a nice looking drive. it is light getting into san francisco. there are no major problems or no road work you have to worry about on the upper deck of bay bridge. traffic continues to look good. on the peninsula on belmont and palo alto we're off to good start. likewise for 280 n

that's what made what buford did in san antonio so important.ven if we dispersed of the players, it would be hard to create that any given sunday notion in the nba. you want every team to have any chance of getting the players. if new york by virtue, they could outbid the other teams for stars. >> they would love it. >> not a perfect correlation but in baseball, no doubt that there's a correlation between payroll and success on the field. >> basketball is interesting because you have oklahoma. >> another great example, a very small market, they have kevin durant a got him through the draft and russell westbrook. and they ended up unfortunately having to -- james harden. ownership there did not feel they could going to the luxury tax because it would put them in and on profitable position. even in our cap system because of the soft cap ownership in oklahoma city would say they are in a bit of a disk advantage -- a disadvantage. from the league office, when they moved james harden fantastic player and mike of the m.v.p. this year. she is on the ho

officers were still around buford.hut off, leaving a gap of two minutes before he is seen on camera again. according to the st. louis post-dispatch, a lawyer for the st. louis police officers association said it executes proper escalation of force applies against a resisting suspect who was lucky he didn't get shot when he reached for air gun. and the passenger told officers the gun belonged to beaufort. and the prosecutor declined to comment on the case. and both charges were later dropped. tremain leagues joins me now. and you trks everything that happened and you have a video gone viral and saying the part that was important was the switching off of the dash cam video. how is this resonating in ferguson and in st. louis county where people have broad mistrust of police? >> that is right, joy. in this post-ferguson landscape we are living in in ferguson and st. louis county shorthand for the deep divisions and everybody is pushing for body cameras and video to hold police accountable but in the end saying we're red.

did you still need an important cast of characters, that is what makes what greg popovich and rc buford what makes what they did in san antonio so special, because you see truly team basketball. but i guess my point is that even if we dis-- dispersed all the players it would be hard to create that any given sunday notion in the nba. on the other hand what you want is every team to have a chance to get the great players. for example, if we didn't have a salary cap if new york by virtue of their additional revenues i'm sure knick fans would love this could just outbid all the other teams for a star player. and it's not a perfect corelation but just like in baseball, there is no doubt there is a corelation between payroll and success on the field it is the same issue on the court. >> rose: basketball is interesting because on the one hand you have oklahoma. >> another great example. >> rose: right. >> a very small market that you know, they have kevin durant, they got him through the draft. russell westbrook, smart drafting there. they actually end up unfortunately h to trade james hardin

we called on food writer bill buford to put the claim to the test.milk. if you can imagine this warmed up in a cup on a cold morning in the mountains. this is like the bar equivalent of a steamy cup of hot chocolate. >> it really has a -- it sticks to the roof of your mouth. it's not very easy to swallow at first. >> as for the cadbury made in the u.s. -- >> well i have to say that it's not bad. >> no. >> it is a subtle difference. it is a subtle difference. >> there's also a very sentimental idea which is that if you grew up with this this is england, mate. >> and there in lies the issue. while the battle may be playing itself out in a yankee court, in the end, what's at stake may be more of a matter of hearts and minds. >> it's a nationalistic food. it's hot dogs on the 4th of july. >> there's all sorts of reports and studies where they say chocolate triggers something in the human mind and releases a certain level of endorfins and all of these different things. >> they say chocolate is orgasmic. >> they will pay a fine and be banned from bringing

i am currently reading the doubles pay about buford at gettysburg.stions is do you think sometimes historians and people that read your works don't understand and don't bother to look at that time that the person you are writing lives in or lived in and therefore they are making assumptions about that person based on our point of view of today? >> guest: yeah, that historicism or that historic fallacy has many names to it and which you impose the standards or ideas that today on a person. i think it is really important for readers and historians to wrestle with that. an obvious example is when you're doing slavery and you're trying to judge thomas jefferson or ben franklin or whatever. to me you have to rise above and be ahead of some of the moral sentiments of your time to be a great person which is why i think i can judge jefferson more harshly than others would because he didn't do that. or even churchill did not get on the right side of history. but that is me imposing a later judgment on that. you have to be aware of it. the last chapter of my "
