jefferson street. we wanted to go out and find out how the space worked today. we went from 8:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night on week days, weekends, counted every human being both of the streets, in the public spaces, recording age and gender, so we have a real breakdown of who is using fisherman's wharf right now. on saturday, the front of the harbor, that is jefferson street between jones and taylor, over 65,000 people per day walking down jefferson street. it is an incredible pedestrian destination. it is potentially eclipsed by pier 39. you get onto those to the -- you get out onto the pier, there are over 110 dozen people per day. what are the things that we want to work on on jefferson street? we have to reorient the streets to address pedestrians first. the sidewalks are too narrow and there is no place for people to stop and engaged in the life around them. similarly, the conditions have to be improved. over 400,000 bikes are arrested along the north waterfront every year. it is an incr

people per day walking down jefferson street. it is an incredible pedestrian destination. it is potentially eclipsed by pier 39. you get onto those to the -- you get out onto the pier, there are over 110 dozen people per day. what are the things that we want to work on on jefferson street? we have to reorient the streets to address pedestrians first. the sidewalks are too narrow and there is no place for people to stop and engaged in the life around them. similarly, the conditions have to be improved. over 400,000 bikes are arrested along the north waterfront every year. it is an increasingly important mode of transport. this section is important to the bay trail, which is why it is the number one priority. despite being less than a block off the waterfront, the connections to the water are weak or absent altogether. if you have not seen the connection to it cockatrice, it is truly beautiful and unique to the city. it is a 1950's model of how we construct street, it is one way, two lanes, and the bicyclist try to go the opposite

i am excited to see the jefferson street improvements. that street is very chaotic, with all of the cars. there is always parking on the street because i don't think a lot of cars drive down. it is turning more into a pedestrian right of way, and it makes more sense. >> absolutely, thank you very much. president olague: commissioner fong? commissioner fong: thank you. this has been a public/private effort. the pitching in and the heavy lifting, as well as the financials. the most important thing, this is an opportunity for a good part of san francisco to really become a pedestrian priority and remove some of the street traffic, the car traffic. i just want to commend that, thank you. president olague: commissioner sugaya? commissioner sugaya: yes, i think he mentioned 12 million visitors per year? >> that is correct. commissioner sugaya: and tens of thousands of people walking on jefferson. they must not have it as it -- must not have visited hooters very much, they are closing. >> i think there is an inside story there. president olague:

he's with me right now. >> jefferson is the key player behind operation room service. he's a long time drug addict. but with his connection he's introduced walls and other undercover officers to 16 of their 24 targets. >> he want four bags of heroin. >> when i was in patrol, i actually arrested him one time for trespassing. from that point on, when i came to gain narcotics, i ran into him. he told me he would work for me. that's been it, ever since. he's borderline homeless. so we try to take care of him as far as what we can. >> she said give her 10 to 15 minutes. she on her way there right now. >> they would assume that anybody hanging out with him is not going to be the police. we can't even put a value on what he's done so far. what we pay him is nowhere near what he deserves to get paid. >> jefferson claims his motive is more personal than monetary. a close friend of his o.d.'d on heroin. he says he wants to drive the heroin off the mannheim strip. >> i just placed a call to tiffany. he ordered four dime bags of heroin. >> tonight walls will conduct surveillance w

but finally we are here at the thomas jefferson bible exhibit. and take a look around.eautiful in here. i also have my guest here, harry rubenstein the curator of the exhibit. thanks for coming out. >> welcome to the museum and thank you for coming. reporter: thank you, harry. harry, this is pretty remarkable stuff. it's been in the smithsonian collection since 1895 but recently underwent a me particular loss conservation, right? >> the bible itself, the pages had become very brittle and the binding is very tight so we could no longer open the book to show people the project that jefferson had worked on. so we literally took the pages out, repaired all of the tears and then put it all back together, and for the first time people can again see this book that jefferson created at the end of his life. reporter: and right here is the title page, but i wanted to show everyone that because it's really rivetting to see that handwriting and the actual photo of it. and over here is the actual display which is what people will see when they come out here, right? >> right. i mean,

having this and jefferson was his own slave children. it for political points as part of the law tradition of american politics. >> that is your thought we go if we were not focused on this we would spend time on more important issues. we have important news throughout our country's history yet people do like to talk about this. >> the interesting thing is in the early nineteenth century the sex lives of president andrew jackson, thomas jefferson was in the press. it was fair game. and the 20th century with the emergence of the national new jersey state, professional they should of journalism that journalists are part of the establishment, part of the elite. the sec's discussion, well known in washington circles that john kennedy, franklin roosevelt have their affairs doesn't make it into the press and in that time period we don't have these sex scandals to protect us from the true problems at hand. >> host: you write another it >> regarding politicians and sex. what happened with our country in the 1970s? you suggest it is another era w

that was jefferson. all right? then the democrats today, oh, they're the big government and, you know, they're trying to tax the people, and they've got all of these -- the government should be building jobs and doing things and creating -- alexander hamilton is considered the father of conservativism. our first secretary of the treasury. you know what the very first thing he did? he demanded that the country establish a deficit. and he went around, and he bought up all of the revolutionary war debt from the states, brought it up -- took it, brought it in. jefferson is over there screaming, can't do it, unconstitutional, strict construction of the constitution, said the liberal. hamilton goes, balderdash. i'm big enough to do it, and i've got to have a big, powerful central government to do what i have in mind, and that is to create this grand global powerhouse that can, by george, compete with europe. we're going to show those guys that we're not going to be treated like this sort of peon, this colony over here, a

that was franklin and jefferson because think jefferson was a sort of a gentleman farmer living in virginia putative he didn't need the country to be big and dynamic. she imagined small businesses and farmers and quite a bit isolationist to stay away from the world and that was jefferson the democrats today, they are trying to tax the people and the government should be building jobs and doing things creating alexander hamilton considered the father of conservatism. the first secretary of the treasury, the very first thing he did, he demanded the country establish a deficit and he bought all of the revolutionary war debt of the state. jefferson is screaming i can't do it, unconstitutional, construction of the constitution said the liberals. he said i'm big enough to do it and i have to have a very big powerful central government to do what i have in mind and that is to create this grand global powerhouse that can compete with europe. we will show them we will not be treated like this peon call money over here and you're going to take our resources and sell them back to us. no, we are going

jefferson understood, jefferson understood that you can have a government with minimal attention to thebsolute essentials that we talked about, we want government to build roads and defend the shores, we want the government to deliver the mails, after it does the essentials, understand what ronald reagan did. less government, under reagan, respect for government. something we all want. respect for government. rose as government's role declined. >> robert reich? >> thank you. the market is working beautifully. i think if i can summarize what my debating partner and i have been saying, the issue isn't how large government should be but who the government should be. so many americans today are worried that the game is rigged the dice is loaded in favor of the big corporations. indeed what george, what you have said and paul ryan, yes, there is too much crony capitalism, too much big corporation and the rich and wall street. but, you seem to believe if you got rid of government, then somehow, individuals would not be imperilled by those same forces. they would be. big government is a can na

jefferson and madison feared war. there was a war scare in the late 79 these that look like we france that lookwi like we were going to go to war. this is when they passed the alien act and the sedition act, and national sedition law. jefferson and madison thought these measures. ironically, madison when he became president he asked congress to declare war against great britain. politicians resume the war of all -- role of war making politician. he did that only after he exhausted all other options. he tried a trade embargo to try to control britain's actions that was a disastrous failure. so madison throughout option after option and tried it and did not work, so finely he asked in june of 1812, he asked congress to declare war. it is quite narrow in the senate and little bigger in the house. america went into the war with great reluctance. host: next call comes from a combined rouge. -- baton rouge. caller: i feel like i should be calling in on the bed rest line instead. i have enjoyed your books. guest: he always h

la mejor idea vino de thomas jefferson.humanos plenos y libres. Ése, es el regalo de estados unidos al mundo. pero allÁ arriba, estÁn los parques nacionales. jefferson, dirja, que si fueras al corazÓn del pajs y vieras, este continente en toda su gloria, te darja el valor de soÑar sobre las posibilidades de la vida. que esta naturaleza garantiza la libertad constitucional de estados unidos. que si no tienes un vjnculo con la naturaleza de forma seria y profunda, no puedes ser estadounidense. como la idea misma de estados unidos, llena de demandas competitivas e impulsos, la idea de los parques nacionales ha sido constantemente debatida, constantemente a prueba y estÁ constantemente evolucionando, hasta abrazar los lugares que tambiÉn preservan los principios de la naciÓn, sus mayores aspiraciones sus mayores sacrificios... y hasta los recordatorios de sus vergonzosos errores. mÁs que todo, la historia de los parques nacionales, es la historia de la gente de todas las ascendencias: ricos y pobres; famosos y desconocidos; sol

i would just like jefferson jackson lincoln and f.d.r. i would be prepared to take on the judiciary if i'm trying to did not restrict it so from what it was doing i agree he's talking about the supreme court not really newt's right we need a president to take on the supreme court that has grown way too powerful here we have on the supreme court nine an elected officials who serve for life and have the sole power to strike down or create new laws in america that power does not exist in the constitution they took that power way back in one thousand nine hundred three in a case of marbury vs madison when chief justice john marshall claimed the right of judicial review which allows the high court to strike down laws passed by congress and signed by the president in other words give the supreme court supremacy over the other two co-equal branches of government the legislative and the executive the idea of an all power powerful judiciary is also in direct contrast to how alexander hamilton imagined the judiciary when he wrote the federalist pap

as thomas jefferson said experience declares that man is the only animal which devours his own kind for i can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor and that liberty is pure which is to go to all and not to the few or the rich alone and i am not among those who fear the people they and not the rich are our dependence for continued freedom and those seeking profits where they given total freedom would not be the ones to trust to keep government pure and our right secure indeed it has always been those seeking wealth who are the source of corruption in government jefferson even warned us that we should never never ever in his words quote be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow sufferers and quote people for some reason think the constitution said that only rich white male landowners could vote but none of those things are anywhere in the constitution while our new country was far from perfect in many of the states in our early years women voted blacks voted and even people who lived in the poor houses the

look at our history and what george washington or thomas jefferson or abraham lincoln which are three rather powerful members of our either founding fathers or president who had a great impact on this country and they all made statements about how could you do this job without having a strong faith and an almighty creator? so the idea that i wouldn't would be counter to hawaii am. if americans want to elect a president who basically says look, i'm not going to -- i'm not going to let my feet intervene in anything that i do and from my perspective it would be a bit scary. i want a president who is faithful and believes that there

jefferson street came out as

as sharon chin reports, this week's jefferson award winner is only 17 years old.porter: homelessness doesn't live within city limits, has no low income requirement and certainly doesn't discriminate based on age. >> the community image both within and outside the community says everything is fine. happy birthday to you reporter: image, as we know, can be deceiving. >> you got me the earrings. reporter: if you ran into her on the street, sometime when she's not working her two jobs, would you guess -- >> okay. we apologize. we are going to try to get that report for you. in the meantime, check out this guy. he has been doing some amazing work over the past, oh, almost 48 hours. bell ringer butch soreiano broke a world record last night. he rang the bell for 36 hours. his goal is to go 48 hours straight on bell ringing. he's going to hit that milestone at 9:00 this morning. now, he is only -- he's not eating anything, he's just drinking things, and he only gets to go to the bathroom once every four hours and he's standing there, he's been standing there the whole ti

and this book that named what thomas jefferson and all his writings and speeches always referred to as the incident in boston harbor into something called the boston tea party he was literally coined the phrase and here's why he dressed up like an indian and showed up for the tea party. the east india company was trying to corner the tea market after all it was the drink of choice of the colonists and there's pretty much a tea shop on every corner in america we imported millions of pounds of tea every year and most of it was brought in by small american entrepreneurs what the british called smuggler's and the east india company wanted to put those smugglers out of business and their strategy undercut their prices they wanted to pull a wal-mart but the colonists were having none of it as hughes wrote trying to get around the east india company quote render the smuggling of tea an object that was frequently practiced and the resolutions against using it the

the criticism of "franklin and jefferson" hit charles hard. demetrios: the "franklin and jefferson" show was an exhausting show because it was huge, and i think sort of the machinery of doing that was just tiring. tondreau: i saw charles at his happiest when he was getting to do a lot of photography. and he was very engaged directly on the creative process of doing the photographs -- which led me to the idea that maybe he felt he was missing something, you know, the transition to more of an executive position at the office. beebe: it was very hard for him, because he didn't really have a successor, and for the years that i was there, he was always looking for the perfect person. it was a battle one day with the ibm representative, mike sullivan, and mike said, "why don't you shut this down?" and he said, "i'd like to." and sullivan said, "what would you do?" and he said, "i'd just travel and shoot." "but," he said, "i don't know what to do about ray, and closing the office." beebe: he was tired, and he was, i don't know if it was his heart, bu

not jefferson, not medicine, not washington. americans at the time thought there was no similarity between, the first 12 amendments that congress recommend to the 10 that were fine of ratified with their state declarations of rights. no justice of the supreme court referred to the first 10 amendments as a bill of rights until after the 14th amendment was passed in 1868. indeed, he found one supreme court judges in 1880s that unlike many modern constitutions the united states is federal constitution includes no bill of rights. this is a very modern development in the 20th century. the bill of rights was not on the altar in the library of congress in the 1920s. it didn't make the display until i was moved to the national archives in the 1950s. it had no public appearance until the freedom train in 1947. indeed, i was puzzled i was there when i was writing "american scripture" about news stories that the national archives was restoring the bill of rights. what the devil could they be restoring? you know, we know that the declaratio

the scandal of the alabama poor cut off from water so remember jefferson county alabama has filed for bankruptcy the largest in the u.s. history and what happened is they set out to build a three hundred million dollar sewage system and lo and behold walked in j.p. morgan with some credit derivatives to sell them interest rate swaps which turned that three hundred million dollar sewage system into a three point one billion dollar sewage system so they've now gone bankrupt alabama one of the poorest in all the whole u.s. has also one of the highest water rates and all of the u.s. we're going to look at some of the stories tammy lucas is the human face of a financial and political scandal that has brought one of the most deprived communities in america south to the point of what some local people believe is collapse she says quote if the sewer bill gets higher my light might get cut off if i try to catch up the lie my water might get cut off so where in between we can't make it like this so her average monthly sewage bill the amount levied by the county to flush away waste to provide wa

this goes out past charlestown, not quite to i-81 in jefferson county. all lifting up toward eastern washington as well. temperatures are on the mild side with low 40s this morning. it is 50 from d.c., annapolis, andrews, la plata headed toward 60. monika? >> i plan to finish my christmas shopping today, howard. if you're heading out the door to the roadways, things are actually very good. no problems to report all around town. i've been telling you about an accident on 270 northbound on montrose road, that is moved to the left shoulder. let's take a live look, planning to head over to 270, north and southbound right now, it is unaffected by that accident. good news there. we'll take you back over to the maps, this time all the way down south to virginia, northbound side of i-95, the yellow forming on the occoquan river. we'll go a little further north, take a live look into springfield. there are no problems. volume on the increase but no problems on to 395 and up to the 14th street bridge. in my next report, we'll take another look at the areas at 5:37
