as john lock and thomas jefferson both said, there's -- what both lock and jefferson called real or true happiness which tends to be a kind of spiritual consequence of achieving certain long-term goals and values. of course there's short-term happiness which is the kind of physical pleasure. the pleasure, the happiness that you get from eating a good steak or having ice cream. but that's -- that's not really what's being meant here. the pursuit of happiness means the pursuit and the achievement of one's highest values. let me just add one important point here. in a sense, the most interesting word is pursuit. you have a right to the pursuit of happiness. you do not have a right to happiness, per se. you have only the right to pursue. and jefferson and all of the other founding fathers understood this right to the pursuit of happiness to have a profound moral component to it. the pursuit of happiness for certainly jefferson and adams meant to have -- to employ certain virtues. in other words, there was a profound connection for jefferson and the american revolutionaries between virtue and

first place were classes in political theory where the early modern writers about democracy like john locke were talking about children constantly in their writings but none of the secondary sources dealt with it at all so i started asking, if children were the center and talked about continuously in modern political theory, what does it mean? i think we are interested in the questions about who can consent and who cannot and this has implications far beyond children in the way we think about the law. who has the ability to have rights and who doesn't is definable by how we define who can reason and who can't. disabled people, intellectually poorled, people who are and dependent on others, this gets to the core of a lot of distinctions we make an capacity in modern society. titled, byook is birth or consent: children, law, and the anglo american revolution in authority. holly brewer, thank you for being with us. ms. brewer: you are welcome. nice to meet you. ♪ ♪ announcer: next on the presidency, abraham lincoln revisitsarold holzer the second inaugural or addressed -- second inaugural addr

first place were classes on political theory, where the early modern writers about democracy, like john lockere talking about children constantly in their writings but yet none of the secondary sources dealt with matt at all. so i started asking, if children were the center and talked about continuously in early modern political theory, what did that mean for real children? i think at some level, i have always been interested in the question of how we distinguish who can consent and who cannot. this has implications far beyond the children. in the way that we think about the law. who has the ability to have license and who doesn't is largely attributable or definable by how we define who can reason and who can't. of course disabled people, , intellectually disabled, people who are mad, people who are poor and dependent on others, this gets to the core of a lot of distinctions we make an on capacity in modern society. host: the book is titled, "by birth or consent: children, law, and the anglo american revolution in authority." holly brewer teaches history at the university of maryland. thank

and john locke taught us this.piration of the american founding and he moved us forward hundreds of years philosophically and brought us right up to the precipice of the american revolution where he had the correct and brilliant revelation that everything you think and everything that you believe, and everything you invest in as a human being is your own property. the left actually hijacks this language against us. they use it incorrectly when talking about life and abortion. they say well it's your body, your choice. while that's a deeper discussion for a different time, however, what they're trying to say, they're trying to play on the tendency of young people to want to be free. they are arguing that human beings should have sovereignty over their own choices. that's what they're getting at which is actually a lockean natural rights for government that our rights come from god, not from government. bernie sanders doesn't believe rights come from god. i'm not sure he even believes in god. that's another important

and he gets the idea from john locke's essay concerning human understanding. so what does the right of pursuit of happiness mean? it means freedom. it is the freedom to choose and pursue those values that lead to one's happiness. there are different kinds of happiness, of course. both locke and jefferson talk about real and true happiness. a spiritual consequence of long term goals and values being achieved. there is short-term happiness which is pleasure, something you get from eating a good steak or eating ice cream. but that is not really what is being meant here. it means the pursuit of one's highest achievements. let me add an important point here. the most interesting word is pursuit. you a right to the pursuit of happiness. not to the right of happiness, purr say, you have the right to pursue it. and all of the understanding fathers understand this pursuit of happiness. the pursuit of it is meant to have, to employ, certain virtues. there was a profound connection for jefferson and the american revolutionaries. virtue and happiness. we cannot achieve ha

it's an idea associated with john lock english philosopher, the government exists to protect life liberty and property. thomas jefferson might have replaced the word property with the pursuit of happiness, in our own declaration of independence. he didn't necessarily mean to change the entire underlying theory, behind their. that is it's one of the things that are supposed to separate a society, with purposely limited government with a society from an authoritarian or totalitarian government, is that the government can take your staff. it willy-nilly is a very serious academic term for the stuff. and this idea was included explicitly in our bill of rights. including in the end of the fifth amendment. which concludes nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. the government may someday need to not cameraman to build a highway, a flood your farm to build a reservoir. but if in when that happens, they have to pay for the property took and or destroyed. and that payment itself is hot to be at least one significant check on the end of misuse of that power, kn

it's an idea associated with english philosopher john lock, to protect life, liberty and property and while thomas jefferson may have replaced the word "property" with pursuit of happiness and own declaration of independence, he didn't necessarily mean to change the entire underlying theory behind there, okay? that is, one of the things that is supposed to separate a society with a purposefully limited government from a society with authoritarian or totalitarian sort of government is the idea that a limited government can't just willy nilly take your stuff. willy nilly is a very serious, academic, formal term for this stuff, right? this idea was included explicitly in our bill of rights, included in the end of the fifth amendment, which concludes nor shall private property -- nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. in other words, the government may some day need to knock down your home to build a highway or flood your farm to build a reservoir, right? but if and when that happens, it has to pay you for the property it took and/or destroyed. and t

this is the social contract theory of thomas hobbes rather than john locke and it would have been familiar to people at the time. theory, thet that colonists would say you have violated my liberty and king george would respond, you cannot complain i am violating liberty because you surrendered your liberty forever along with all natural rights in exchange for my protection. again, the declaration's principles say, you are wrong. the colonists did not surrender irrevocably. they could not have because that is inalienable. -- elate elaine thatenable is something you cannot give away. if you look at the virginia declaration of rights, you get a more expanded statement of this principle. it says people have inalienable rights including liberty of which, by no compact, can that divest themselves or posterity. liberty cannot be given away. slaveou can imagine a saying sort of the same thing. saying, you have violated my liberty but the answer the declaration regifted that is, well, that's complicated. sometimes they are justified. therek up criminals and is no philosophical error in that. is it

. >> john locke. this is the social contract. right.o a state of government. with esurrender certain rights and certain liberties that we would have if we were just all by ourselves. because we dwell if greater safety in community. and if the government can't pro i that safety within that community, then it's a fundamental breakdown. and that seems hyperbolic. but i think what you were just saying a minute ago with everybody is exactly right. this is a existential question. because it's not abstract. this is not ukraine. this is not releasing the aid. this is not the president tweeting something off randomly. this is whether you shake hand. this is whether you get on airplanes. this is whether you will make your quarterly numbers, if you're in business. and then, without being alarmist, it could be about whether you live or you die. so, it doesn't get much more fundamental than that. and what americans want from the intuitively from their government is to borrow an old phrase fromdukakis from 30 years ago, they don't want ideology, they

stations as i mentioned one of those states is illinois and in chicago is john hendren john tell us about life on the lock down there. when you write a number of states here in the u.s. it shut down what they call non-essential businesses but i mean illinois one of those states that has told people they have to stay home there are exceptions you can go to the grocery store the pharmacy you can get gas for your car you can go out for a walk or a hike or walk your dog but other than that you're supposed to stay in your house and the reason for that is a state epidemiologist who joined the governor when he issued this shutdown order yesterday which takes effect at 5 pm local time here on saturday you know when i said that the people that you hear about who are on the news who have the corona virus those are people who can track of the virus about a week ago but many of the people that you see walking around communicating with people transmitting the disease are people who are still a stencil healthy but have contracted the disease and don't even know it and that is why they want to shut down those people fro

from sonya guy a go she joins us now live via skype and sonia as we saw from john are people so clearly not taking this locked in very seriously at all we have just had an update from the british government in the last few years is there any indication stricter measures are coming. well it really was a stark warning given by the health of the head of the english health services said that the most optimistic really that they can hope for is so that's because when t. 1000 deaths resulting from that. he said that if they could keep the number that then they would have done a very good job now if that number of the death toll does not hit home then they will most likely have to try and so the c.f.a. can usher in the measures to stop people because of course that number is as a result of calculations now but of course it's a very fast moving situation hit and these measures and those tallies can really only be in place if people stick to those measures that the government has put into place she's social distancing staying at home as as well as much as possible in any coming out really the best essential and for em

and the what they're very confident in john is that lasik lee shows the you can defeat this virus so it's weeks from the beginning the very least from the 1st lock down. to being no cases recorded at all so that went up the peak of the worst day was february for which is 3897 cases and since then in reduced or sensually 0 it's been taken by the most stringent measures i mean my chinese friends are horrified by the lack of seriousness of the. actual preparations and also the restrictions which are and they can't believe of people all still moving around some circles and frankly they're very concerned that if very very strict measures that were introduced in china are not introduced the situation will not be got under control in western europe and not states and this is. do you think that china has dealt with this crisis the best and what it what specific things do you think other countries should be learning from the way china dealt with it. well i think yes i think of the data show that it was absolutely quite clear firstly joiners to say that if the. man came on 23rd january the worst cases was then 3897 on the 4th of february that if you have

longer and force the lock down the lock down in françois has been going on since march 17th and since that around 800000 finds have been given out by the police officers and johndams across the country there are around a $100000.00 have been deployed to do just that but they have been angry now since the beginning of that lockdown over fears of the lack of protective masks that they've had many police unions have talked about the fact not just that they fear because they coming into contact with so many people to issue these fines to check the permission slips that we need to be out on the streets in france that they could be liable to catch the virus but also then could be a vector of transmission so this is something that's really been consuming the union since the start now the ministry of interior is infuriating police officers and the unions even further in the last few days after it requisition the f f p 2 mosques these the highly protective mosques took them away and said the police officers had to give them to the health workers now we've been talking to one police union in the last. week about some of the fears that they have for their members. securi

but, john, as i heard the president yesterday talking about voluntary measures and then suggesting they may have to locked hot spots, i was thinking that's actually the best way to go at first because we americans might not respond as as well, certainly not as well as, say, let's say people in china in locking things down. it's going region by region, state by state, locality by locality. might that be a better way to start this? >> well, the policy is obviously evolving rapidly and i think it's going to get more draconian before it gets less so, unquestionably. i think what dr. fauci has been saying about overreact and then be criticized for that makes inherent good sense. the analogy i keep think about is less about america during world war ii, though we mobilized, we did it very late, after pearl harbor and germany declared war on us. 16% of americans served, 11% of the male population, 2 million in europe and there were victory gardens and a full mobilization. i this i this was more like england and britain in world war ii because civilians are actually combatants, if you follow the analogy. everybo

lock at that curb. we're going see when it starts coming down, and we'll do the best job that can be done. john, please? >> question for you, mr. president. looking at this idea of an easter time, i know that's probably flexible, what are the metrics which which you will make the decision as to whether you can say yes, we can open up this area of the country or no we can't open up that area. will you be looking at disease numbers? will you be looking at possible containment isolation? >> i think we'll be looking at a lot of things. we'll also be looking again at very large portions of our country. and i will be guided very much by dr. fauci and by deborah and by some of the other professionals that work with both of you. and we're going to see what will be. but that would certainly be -- i think that's a goal that perhaps can happen, or at least for a very large portion of our country. >> dr. fauci, since as the president said you and dr. birx and others will be guiding him and making the decision, where are you now of this timeline of 19 days? >> that's really very flexible. we just had a conv

. >> elton john is planning to host a virtual all-star benefit special aimed at helping provide both relief and entertainment to millions of americans lockedes. >> performers will include the backstreet boys, mariah carey, and tim mcgraw streamed from their personal cellphones. i hope they got the iphone deluxe 11. >> and not the flip phone 1. mariah carey, i got to tune in. the one-hour commercial-free iheart living room for america is set to air sunday night. >> what about the back street boys? >> mariah carey. >> tim mcgraw? i love some tim mcgraw. >> me too. faith hill is going to make a special appearance, i'm going to call it now. >>> turning to your spirit animal. >> cardi b is fired up hosting a video on the gram with a few choice words. she rants against the speed of coronavirus test results for the rich and famous. she said, i don't like it like that, and she railed against fellow celebrities who are retreating into their mansions. >> where do they think they're sending people home to? not everybody have the luxury to go into their [ bleep ] bedroom and [ bleep ] big house and stay away from people. people live in small apartment

johns hopkins. a rapidly spreading ran somewhere attack can lock your home and erase your phone if hackers are not givensom within 48 hours. >> you should change the default username and password. if you leave that default on there, you're basically leaving your front door unlocked. >> hackers can find their way and especially at home where devices likes smart speakers, doorbell and your wi-fi router are open targets. this device protects your home to lockout scams and threats. it easily plugs in ahead of your cable or dsl modem. it works by actively guarding all internet tracking to block and shutdown intrusions to all home devices. >> they will get all of your login information and if they have that they can access things like your bank account, they can do all sorts of things with your private information and sometimes with your money. >> just out of clarity we shop that with her prior to our new way of keeping distance from one another, but the lesson in all of this really is have a look at your home technology, make sure the passwords are updated, make sure the software, the firmware inside of them

john cochran, a fellow at the hoover institution in california, your reaction. >> i think the president is basically right. zero.ternative is we keep the economy completely lockedown for six months until the last case is gone. that is clearly untenable. back to business, let the virus ramp into the population, that's not what he was saying. he said keep your social distance, which means you can't have packed churches. i think where we should end up is within weeks to months, we go to a very detailed and pretty onerous set of rules about how you open a new business, how often people get their temperature taken, tested, the separation requirements, who goes in when and who doesn't, along with really getting that public health system going again. contact.tracing if you had it, where did you go? finding them. isolating the people who are most in trouble. olderne mostly hits people with pre-existing conditions. they will have to stay home a lot longer than the rest of us, if just to spread out the time in the hospital beds. i think there is a halfway and between. not shut down in six-month, not back to business as usual. it will lead to a horrible problem. business

locked down since january. cnn's david culver, who was in wuhan and is now in shanghai, can give us the latest on this. david? >> reporter: johnu mentioned those numbers out of india. i think here we calculated that it would be 780 million different forms of lockdown. and they're starting to ease a little bit. now, there seems to be a trial period in hubei province, kind of where all of this started, and it's affecting every city in hubei with the exception of the capital, wuhan, the original epicenter. but it looks as though they're testing, starting today, in fact in those outlying areas, seeing if they can ease the travel restrictions, but people we've been in touch with are not considering this to be all over, and really, they don't feel like this is back to normal. at the original epicenter of the novel coronavirus in wuhan, china, there is now a countdown to freedom with those living under lockdown with hubei province easing restrictions monday and wuhan expected on april 8th. >> i think it's really amazing. finally! i've been at home for two months. >> reporter: ph.d student vivia chatted with us via her dormitory. it's

you can lock at date but you've got to be very flexible on literally a day by day and week by week basis. you need to evaluate the feasibility of what you're trying to do. john, you asked for what kind of metrics, what kind of data. when you look at the country, obviously no one is going to want to tone down things when you see what's going on in a place like new york city. i mean, that's just good public health practice and common sense. >> so let's look at the numbers. right now there are more than 53,000 coronavirus cases in the united states. of those, about 26,000 cases are in new york. now the world health organization says the u.s. could be the next epicenter of the pandemic, and new york's governor is echoing that warning. take a listen. >> we are just a test case. where we are today, you will be in three weeks or four weeks or five weeks or six weeks. we are your future. >> well, now to the united kingdom, where despite the government ordering people to stay home, many of london's trains are still crowded. the mayor says he's taking safety into account while running as many tube services as possible, a move which has drawn harsh criticism. prime min
