another character is joe steph mccarthy, running in 1952 for re-election. his tough man veneer, the sort of macho character he representses nixon in some ways wants to mimic and imbibe as him own. his greatest campaign that joseph mccarthy makes one of the most vicious and i think in some ways -- it's a vicious election, but mccarthy actually -- it's during 1952 election where he said if somebody would only smuggle me board the democratic campaign special with a baseball bat in my hand, i'd teach patriotism to little adlai. or sometimes he calls him algier, like algier hiss, a communist spy. and there's norm yap vincent peal, who helped advice nixon on his mid-:-to. one of the behind the scenes guys giving advice to richard nixon to engage not we call telepopulism, and charlie chap children chaplain pass -- was bolted out of the country, and there's also obviously another central character, the foil to richard nixon and to dwight eisenhower, and that's adlai stevenson himself. he backs throughout the course of the story a fey egghead, an intellectual enteri

he had breakfast every morning johnson in the senate cafeteria and joe mccarthy had the round table near cashiers' register he would sit with the staffers. johnson walks in one morning and mccarthy was there including bobby kennedy. and mccarthy jumps in deference to johnson except robert kennedy. he sits there. and johnson walks over to the table and shakes hand and sees bobby kennedy isn't getting up and johnson knows how to handle any situation like that. he stands there as it's described to me like this. and forcing robert kennedy to get up. and george reiding said there was no reason for it. two dogs come to the room and the hair rises on the back of their neck and there's a low growl. it was something chemical between the two guys. . c-span: what was the next time they had a confrontation? >> guest: well, the next time they actually had a confrontation would probably be at the democratic national convention in the 1960, where jack kennedy joined president kennedy, well as the nominee and lyndon b. johnson vice presidency. >> how would would kennedy have been and how would would joh

carol mccarthy of new york from the house side of democrat for gun control for a long time. where are the new faces? people like joenone are saying, let's pass all these things that the president wants. let's look a map of the democrats. we can show you at least 11 vulnerable democratic incumbents. those are at least 11 democratic seats up in 2014. senator from alaska has said no thank you. montana, max baucus has said, i'm not sure we want to do gun control. republicans are saying that we're going to see what harry reid in the senate does and the expectation is at best he could get a very watered down version. no assault weapons ban, maybe progress on background checks and the republicans around the house, from what they are saying, we'll have our committees look at these issues but we're not going to think about voting on a bill until the senate proves it can pass something. on this day, we'll see if he can rally public support and change a lot of minds. >> how visible will the president be, the vice president as well? >> that is a big question. will he try to rally public support? we know tomorrow the vice presi

mccarthy, that -- they're on their own. but they do not think -- the white house does not think it can achieve that. >> what do you think, joehe day. richard wolffe, do they have the votes? >> it depends for what, right? they've got to take some action. the politics of this is just too difficult for everyone in congress. i mean, democrats have to do something meaningful. republicans have to move off of what has been basically a no position on any type of gun measures. you know, you've got such an emotional weight. everyone says, well, it's all fading. i don't believe that for a minute. these families are organized, you've got mayor bloomberg's organization behind, as well. very powerful advertising there. this is going to be front and center, as it happens right now. so i think saying no or not doing enough, whatever the enough is defined as, is not acceptable. so they've got to find the votes for something. something beyond just beating up the media, right? the easy thing is to blame it on movies and, oh, it's all -- you know, music we don't particularly listen to. and so, yeah, i think there has to be some measures about t
