gave a speech called the declaration of conscience really directed at mccarthyism meaning senator joe mccarthy in june of 1950 and you quote a finance year and political consultant named bernard baruch who said if a man had made the declaration of conscience, he would have been the next president of the united states. and you mentioned in the book when you were talking about hillary rodham clinton, who is an old friend, you said an extraordinary role model. you've known her for years because your husband served as governors together. did they sit next to each other -- >> guest: the order in which the states can into the union, that's how they sit. >> host: the order in the state -- and so that was so serendipitous. you are old friends, and obviously colleagues, and you said that the united states is ready for a woman president. so, i have to ask you she is obviously the great hope of the democratic party and of many women. whether or not you would support her or any feelings you have you say that you have respect for her service as the secretary of state, whatever is wrapping her up in any cur

rendell talked to earlier republicans and even going to joe mccarthy at the beginning, he went crazyend of his life but in the beginning he was mean-spirited and hateful and there were communists in this country and some of them worked in the government. now, whether or not they were going to actually overthrow it, of course, they were not. there are people at the fbi concerned about people who are in the government. when it comes to michele bachmann and her conspiracy theories, there isn't anyone anywhere who can provide a shred of evidence to back it up. so that just doesn't last. that gets exposed to the sunshine and it dies. >> i will agree with you, he did at least have a conspiracy theory. you couldn't find a thread. >> i think he was craze sfwly e. there was some kernel of truth to it. >> and there was consistency with what you and i may think is crazy. >> yes. >> joy reid, ryan grim, thank you for your time again. >> thanks. >>> still ahead, the big story about the obama presidency that republicans are afraid to talk about. but first, glenn beck has a new conspiracy theory to

controversy involving the irs, the republican speaker of the house has become washington's new joe mccarthyoholic senator of the 1950s who threw blind accusations everywhere. now as i've been pointing out all week, rank ignorance of the law is the driving force of what washington perceives to be the scandal at the irs. i've been telling you since monday that washington is so desperately ignorant of the law on 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations that no one in washington actually understands what the real scandal at the irs is. we showed you last night that after two days of my harping on this, the chairman of the senate finance committee finally started to echo my words on the senate floor, as did the president yesterday and today. but here is how much ignorance pervades the discussion of the irs controversy. >> we must pass a law that makes it much clearer that the so-called social welfare organizations must make their priority promoting social welfare rather than engaging in politics. from my standpoint, i think that they should not have any political purpose, and i would hope that we coul
