she is called for joe mccarthy's anti-communist committee and interesting way people thought because of her connection to paul which i think was part of it but joe mccarthy leans over and grills her about her political affiliations and she asks her about her 1945.african journey which was seen as subversive because it was an anticolonial document. the inquisitor, leans over and says are you sure you wrote this book? she was somebody who was not short on attitude so she said do you think i could not read a book like this all by myself? how dare you ask me that question. the other thing she ultimately goes to the committee issue sort of flips the script and she says i don't even recognize these people. this committee has on it southern senators who don't allow black people to vote in their states. so you know she had that kind of defiance and that kind of toughness about her as she went into sometimes very dangerous political terrain. people have just gone to jail and then exiled and so forth and she was also outspoken on her anticolonial activity. >> i wanted to ask all of you, why is

cruz didn't and ted cruz is such a wild card i mean he's he's he's playing the either i'm i'm joe mccarthy or i'm crazy to get to the u.s. senate all of one of the hardest things you know it's one of the most exclusive jobs in america so clearly he knows how to get elected and it's interesting that he he opposes this you know although it does contain all this pork for texas but yeah i mean the thing is eleven hundred pages long now at first it was eight hundred and some pages long and then and then the better version of it was three hundred pages longer i challenge you to find any document that gets better as it gets longer and that just means more stuff was was was added more payoffs were done we would not even talk about the marco phones these you know some kind of secure phones that are going to be given to rangers along the border in case they want to call security and the city's mayor three am call my see a diety jump across the border greg you know it was one of those things to appease the anti amnesty crowd to say oh we're going to your way and that in fact that's what the whole bor

techniques actually work so there you have it the most transparent administration in history is going joe mccarthy on its employees even though there's no reason to believe the doing so will keep any of our secrets any safer that's just me and a very very ugly. and yesterday's episode of the five. bob akhil proclaimed that he didn't want any more mosques built in america without a thorough investigation beforehand to make sure potential mosque go orders are not terrorists as fellow hosts of water his remarks check it out. if it were up to me i would not have another mosque built in this country until we got it worked out he was not a terrorist and by the way every gal has somebody out there and every muslim out there any muslim cleric any muslim leader says anything about this no you're cowardly because you're afraid to go to put up what i call the that want you both while this letter there. i don't know what's worse the bob beckel actually believes it's a good idea or that the rest of his fox so-called news buddies five years old there's a lot of it's just very very. well with the. audience techn

she never particularly cared for joe mccarthy, but this was one step too far. as she told president eisenhower, lucille -- is no communist. [laughter] mrs. eisenhower invited the actress, lucille ball and her husband and the other cast members to come to the white house to perform at a benefit for president eisenhower's birthday. this was just days before ms. ball was scheduled to appear on capitol hill. several weeks later, at the vice president dinner, a traditional dinner held annually in those days, the entire united states senate was always traditionally invited. one senator, however, was not invited by mrs. eisenhower. that was senator joseph mccarthy. as lighthearted as the anecdote may now seem, at the time, it sent a political message. it was the use of her role as a hostess by the administration, not so much by mrs. eisenhower, to make a statement that was not quite coming out against mccarthy. mccarthy was of the same political party. but it still made its point. from the very beginning, first ladies assumed public projects, or what we later called s

speech called "the declaration of conscience" really directed at mccarthyism but not naming senator joe mccarthyjune of 1950, and you quote a political consultant named bernard baa rook who said if a man had made the declaration of conscience, he would have been the next president of the united states. and you mention in the book when you're talking about hillary rodham clinton who is an old friend, you said an extraordinary role model, you've known her for years because your husbands served as governors together. did they sit next to each other at nga meetings? >> guest: yes. the order in which the states came into the union. >> host: oh, right. and it 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's obviously the great hope of the democratic party, the great hope of many women. whether or not you want her to run, whether or not you would support her, any feelings that you have. you said that you have enduring respect for her service as secretary of state. she, um, you know, barr

. >> bobby kennedy, worked for joe mccarthy, a bit of a conservative.ressive on civil rights. it was really bobby kennedy who was the driving force. he was a remarkable voice of calm during a turbulent time. that's what people most remember him for, i think. >> so bill clinton, who i think has sort of a mixed record on this. he, of course, gave his famous sister soldier speech. he was criticized after he compared jesse jackson and barack obama. how would you rate the way clinton compares race. >> a good question. it's a mixed review. for a while the joke was clinton was our first black president. he did have the moment during the campaign where he went before the naacp and made a tough stance against rap lyrics. in 2008 it did hurt his reputation in a south carolina primary when he kind of compared president obama to jesse jackson as a way to marginalize him. tee a lot of heat and i don't know if he's recovered from that. it shows you even for somebody like president clinton, a deft politician, it's a tough issue. >> when he compared jesse jackson and p
