mark: he's trying to buy their support. >> right, clark pepper. mark: what happened? >> it goes well for a while. but then there began to be questions. he overreaches. you have three branches of government. you have the supreme court, you have the presidency. but then you have congress. and the senate in particular, you have roosevelt attempting successfully to pick the next majority leader, the democrat, hot man he picked, senator barclay of kentucky, and roosevelt in effect bought the votes. he called on people who owed him favors to make sure barclay was the one. thus you had a revolt in the senate. they are saying he's taking our branch and interfering. there began to be a rebellion against him. burton wheeler of montana was have much against him, too. and ultimately it was overwhelmingly defeated. he could not go forward. mark: he had an iron grip on the executive branch and an iron grip on the house of representatives. he ran this through the senate, chose their majority leader, now he wanted to control the supreme court. on msnbc and cnn they call that a dictat

mark: separation of powers. the battle taking place, subpoenas, we are going to impeach you, is a separation of powers battle. why is that so important? >> separation of powers was devised -- it was locke who understood there were separation in functions. but montiskue was influential with the separation of powers. and separate people. that would be a way of checking power. government doesn't get to act on the individual, us, the people, we are the bosses, they don't get to act on us unless all three branches concur. if any one of those branches says no, by and large it doesn't happen. if congress says no it doesn't get to the president. if the president says no it only gets further if congress has a super majority. that protects the minority. only if those two concur do courts get a say whether it's within the constitutional powers of the government. that's a three-part check. we call that redundancy like on an airplane. if one engine fails, you have redundancy. a lot of the redundancy in our constitution has b

i am mark crumpton, this is -- david: thanks so much, mark. more on the coronavirus. therying to project where virus is headed, experts look back to the past for guidance. specifically, 2003 and the sars epidemic. >> sars was a killer. severe acute respiratory syndrome killed almost 800 people in 2003. and also not to four percentage points off of china's growth. gdp rose 11.1% in the first quarter of 2003. a drop in the second. the country is relatively small weight limited- the impact. in a drop now will hit harder. bloomberg economists have drawn up scenarios for impact. the latest outbreak occurred during the lunar new year holiday. reduced spending will not be recouped. travel restrictions are also wider than those imposed in 2003. if the out rake is contained, inwth could recover later 2020. that would put for your growth at 5.7%. processed, the damage to growth would be more severe and enables -- and neighbors would be hit harder. we welcome now an expert who has compared sars with the coronavirus, jennifer huang bouey. senior policy advisor at the rand corpora

andrew talked at some length about why ballot marking devices are not a good way to mark the paper if you want to know the paper has a trustworthy record of what voters expressed to the equipment. i'll talk about that more. this is our paper. so let's suppose that we have generated a trustworthy paper trail, meaning if we looked at it carefully we with know who actually won. how do we figure out whether the reported winner won? we can't trust the computers doing the tabulation. we can't trust the people involved. we can maybe trust some aspects of the system. what can we do? we're in a situation where we have to trust election officials for just about everything. i'm not saying that they're untrustworthy but it would not nice not to have to trust people, and perhaps not all of them are. i would characterize what we have in the u.s. is procedure-based elections. they say i followed the rules, use certified equipment, this is the result. trust it. and i would liken this to a brain surgeon doing brain surgery and saying, i used a sterile scalpel, followed the instrictions, the patient is

mark: it doesn't matter. that is why my observation that the fed is doing this is not qe, walk away, it is temporary, if they didn't do this, it would be more curious. so there's going to be more volatility. news,is is the biggest not the other consolidation in our industry. it is what the fed is doing. that is number one. watch the front end, watch the overnight rates to see if they change. that is really the news. if those start to move and get a little surface area, then you're going to have the ability to have volatility. my risk appetite is lower and you can see some selling going on. i think the problem with the fed being so involved, and i think they had to be because there's no other option on letting the whole thing unravel, we really forgot how to price risk. guys jump makes risk really hard because everything is so suppressed, but it is the baseline where everything else you price come of will have just -- you price, people have just forgotten how to price risk. the rates are so depressed so artifi

for mark. you mentioned that in your work on the russian bombing of the civilian targets in syria, you relied in part on the transmission from pilot to base on an open channel. it raised a question in my mind of when you use open sources and you have to fess up to it, you run the risk of having those sources closed down, cutting yourself off from a technique that was useful last time around. mark: it is a good question. this listening network, is what i would call it, they have this network set up as an early warning system for people to get out of bombing, sites that will be bombed. you are eavesdropping, hearing the russian pilots are going in this direction, hearing what they are saying, get out of this location. it was really a serious question for us about, is us using this material, will it shut down? the russians have not stopped using the transmission lines that they have been using. we think -- we don't know for sure -- we think the reason they use open transmission, they are kind of u

you just saw mark steyn on final exam, and he rejoins us tonight. mark, what does this tell you? >> well, i think the fact that actually all the categories, w particularly all the advertising, where they say it't okay to choose mr. right based on how far he leans left or it's okay to date someone who is pro-choice, these thingsac actually suggest that it is woke people who are finding it harder than anyone to get a date. in fact, there has been a collapse of dating rituals, and a collapse of dating, and a collapse of relationships. you know, love can strike you whereve it finds you. and politics shouldn't be factored into that to the degree this is. that people actually have litmus political tests. years ago, the bbc used to put me up against radical marxist feminists, thinking they would get a lot of fireworks and it would make for great television. about 2 minutes in, i'd usually think, wow, these really severe radical marxist feminist is telling me what they get i am is kind of turning me off. i would get all flirty, and the show would fall to pieces. i think it is kind of sad
