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:

the term twistifications. remember that? >> he says if jefferson asks you, is the sunshining, you must say, i don't know. >> i don't know. >> because if you said yes or no, he'd like get march bury out of madison out of that. >> that's right. when marshall dyed they did an autopsy. he had a liver three times the size of the largest liver ever seen. so i think it was medira myself. it partly was marshall's own personality and his -- he was -- the fact is marshall probably was one of the greatest of the founders. he's a little late, but we can't know it in the way that we can with adams and jefferson because so much of the correspondence has been destroyed. but he took care of his wife poly. it was an inville lid for most of the life of his kids. one other thing that happens is the legal scholars get ahold of him. it becomes this intricate series of discussions about mccullough versus maryland. the human story, this guy, think about marshall, he was the equivalent of a special forces leader in the american revolution. had he like three companies shot

and jefferson enters the government as secretary of state and madison becomes jefferson's accolade and worships the ground he walks on and see the sub alter of jefferson. and no longer is the sovereign voice of himself. the second thing that happens is the passions of what we referred -- richard and i were talking about, the hamilton financial plan. and all of a sudden, he regards this new federal government as something that is not compatible with virginia's interests. either economically or in terms of slavery. and like, oh, my god. and he's serving in the house of representatives so that his constituency is telling him that they oppose all these things. but it's breathtakingly quick. i mean there are all these people, i mean there's a young woman out here that's trying to get a monument devoted to madison. haley, there you are. there you go. and here or in washington -- >> in washington. >> in washington. and it's certainly justified, but the people that loved madison the most don't understand him. madison changes positions three or four times in his life. and politically, madison i

the american troops. with such an invasion. jefferson neverat let aaron burr the american troops but militia and the reason and a militia maybe you could get himself into a position of power.he he was the most eminent man who had crossed the appalachian mountains.he he had maybe he could make it happen. cahal -- one other thing that he would lead us settlement of this territory. much of american and land development in that era was essential the cascara it -- cascading a series of frauds. people sold land they did not know or had never seen and resold and mortgaged andpe it was a scandal happening over and over. i detail examples in the book but burr acquired a flimsy interest to say he would leave us settlement for i don't think aaron burr ever meant to live in this particular then rather remote part of the countryhe. the only virtue is that it is close to the spanishovok border where one could provoke a war. all of these different plans of occur under the backdrop of the expectation that the west shawl secede and the historians who do

that is one of the undertones of the story. jefferson and heard never got along. they were very different people but after the 1800's, after that election, jefferson was never going to do anything for burr and in fact he was going to lay him back. now the other thing, another feature of this of course was there was secession. it was not at all clear the united states was going to remain the united states. just a year before, 1904, there have been a secession movement in new england and some of the leaders had come to burr and asked him to join them to lead new york out of the union. there have been a secession movement in the west. the west of the time was kentucky and tennessee and mississippi, ohio, the lands over the appalachian mountains and they had in the 1780s and early 1790s flirted with seceding in becoming really a state of spain because they wanted to send their goods through new orleans which was controlled by spain and spain was not allowing american goods through. there was an act of active secession movement then. indeed,

the first was he mentioned the action of jefferson. this is due in part to the fact that jefferson foresaw that there could be other countries as part of the -- we think of the louisiana purchase that he thought not only expanding the united states but might be other countries formed from that. that is why he thought we will form another country but wasn't concerned about that. my second question was about secession, the unintended consequence for burr that he made secession unpatriotic but it was so popular, he was in new york and wasn't just a seventh thing and you think of the federalists and hartford convention they were talking as well. did they think about secession in constitutional terms or just as something like you mentioned it is in the american blood. is a session that way? >> that is a lot. secession just to deal with that quickly if i can, new england secession was economically motivated. it was because of the embargo that was in place and the economy in the war of 1812 and they didn't support the war. i still think it was

that's the kind of radical move thomas jefferson would have been proud of. play the guitar and you know how frustrating it can be to tune it just right. now a special guitar is coming on the market that tunes itself, but at over $2,000, some might find the price tag a bit off key. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ garrett, fox news channel in the classroom. >> if you're in hift eric, perhaps i just told you a hilarious joke, but if you're into hysterics, perhaps you're a fan of the band. here's jenna. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> don't get this band's name wrong, it kind of bugs them. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> it's a pet peeve, i mean, you know. ♪ ♪ >> hysterics dropped their first demo during the surge of indy rock bansed like the strokes and the white stripes. so they're flattered to be put in the same category as those groups whose names start with the, but hysterics have been making a name that's all their own. their career started with the assistance of an unexpected band. >> i read that it was through the help of a teacher that you guys got noticed. >> our science teacher j.p. heard one of the demos and put it o

now they've done that in the northwest ordinance, okay? and jefferson when he was in the confederation congress back in 1781 had proposed making slavery illegal in any new territory admitted anywhere, and that lost by one vote. but by 1803 jefferson's changed his mind or he's changed his feelings so that they refused to take this action. but in addition -- here's how what it would -- this is all monday morning quarterbacking and at its worst form is a form of presenttism that's unfair to the founders. >> hypothetical history has a vote now? >> it does. you've written a recent book about this. like what could have worked? knowing how important the slavery issue is, knowing that 632,000 people are going die in the civil war and 2.5 generations of african-americans are going to live in slavery for 50 years, what could have bon done, excuse me, to avoid this? and there was an answer. the answer was prohibit slavery and all the incoming territories and use a portion of the revenue that would be garnished from the sale of those western lands and an event actu

the credit's going to fail. what jefferson did was broker a deal over wine and food at his house between madison, the leader of the opposition of the plan and hamilton. madison was not going to vote for the plan, but he would not be too strenuous in opposition. there's speculation they found the additional votes hamilton needed to put him over the top. hamilton then used his leverage with the northern states who needed the bill to select the fite for -- site for the nation's capitol. this is known as the first of three great compromises before the civil war that kept the country together. what was different if monroe would have been there rather than madison? number one, his biggest objection to the constitution is the power of the executive. he'd gone to war and risked his life to throw off a tie rapt, he was not going to vote for a new one. he was concerned about the power of the presidency. he would not have carried the banner the way madison had, and he would have voted differently on the executive question. it's my belief

there is the jefferson memorial on the bank of the potomac river. we have dry pavement around under this clear sky. now 39 at reagan national. we've got a north/northwesterly breeze. and that's going to continue to bring in cooler weather than we had yesterday. what a dreamy day it was yesterday. and now we are down into the 20s across parts of northern virginia and in fairfax county now. it is near the freezing mark. in montgomery county now, the mid to upper 30s. in the low to mid 30s in prince george's county. much of southern maryland and near the bay, near freezing this morning, as well as the shenandoah valley and out in the mountains. here's the view if space over the last 12 hours. we've had a mostly clear sky. did not see the aurora here, but it was visible and very bright to our north. we'll show you some of those images coming up. sunrise will be at 7:20. we will have sunshine this morning. by 9:00, near 40. into the low 40s by noontime. then clouding up during the afternoon as we peak in the mid to upper 40s. maybe briefly near 50 degree

jefferson says, what's wrong? i'm going nuts, worried the public sector's going to fail. so thomas jefferson brokered a deal over wine and food at his house between james madison and alexander hamilton. madison wasn't going to vote for the plan, but he would not be too strenuous in his opposition. there's some speculation that he and jefferson found the votes needed to put hamilton over the top. hamilton would turn around and use his influence to select the potomac site for the nation's capital. this is referred to as the first of three great compromises, and this kept the country together. what would have been different if monroe had been there instead of madison? well, number one, monroe's biggest objection to the constitution was the power of the executive. he wasn't about to vote for a new tyrant under a different name. he was very concerned about the power of the presidency. he would not have carried the banner madison had. indeed, he probably would have voted differencely. on the executive question, it's my belief that the people who believed the president didn't hav
