joe mccarthy was just as fascinating in buckley's life. buckley wrote a book who later wrote a book defending him. later in life he wrote a fascinating novel about joe mccarthy that was a little more complicated than his original view. yes, mccarthy kind of had all the charges against liberals who want communist but he was charging that they were communist. i think those echo over many years. i'm a liberal who is wary of yelling mccarthy every time conservatives make an attack. not every attack is mccarthy just as i'm aware of using the word fascist one is not appropriate. nonetheless, this tendency to see a kind of enemy within is very much there in parts of the right. you've seen it in the obama years. this notion that he was a secret muslim and all that. i think that too has roots in mccarthy back in the 50s. >> let's go, now word up to the goldwater period. let's go through the goldwater agenda. his platform if you will as he's running in 64. he he is for ending social security, he's for ending aid to school and federal role welfare pr

al: many years ago after joe mccarthy, there were postmortems that were devastating for the press. mccarthy was able to use the press. after this election, in a generic sense not "the new york times" specifically, are we going to look bad? jim: i mean, this period, i do not think anyone can say it has been good. i think so far, so bad. or mostly bad or very bad. here is what i wonder. right, you mentioned at the top of this that chuck todd said he is not going to take donald trump on the phone anymore. cnn said we will not be roped in to doing a donald trump qvc-style press conference. so maybe there is a kind of counter reaction. maybe there will be a giant change. it has to happen soon. so, i am hoping there is a correction here for all of our sakes. it is better for donald trump to have a different sort of coverage, it is better for democracy to have a different kind of coverage. al: but the suits don't want to give up that revenue. jim: it's too hard. and the other thing in the column, as i have made the round to get back in touch with the media industries i covered many years

republicans, scott walker, joe mccarthy, very frs conservative. i think there's a big gap in wisconsin and that's what cruz can benefit. >> mccarthy used to say i'm a republican with a democratic name. still ethically a democratic state. better to be a mccarthy, even if you're a republican. >>> next, the vice president's calling on former colleagues to act on merrick garland's nomination to the supreme court. biden is at the center of this, the biden rule, don't vote on the nomination of the last of the president's two-term years.e . hey, fancy seeing you here. uh, i live right over there actually. you've been to my place. no, i wasn't...oh look, you dropped something. it's your resume with a 20 dollar bill taped to it. that's weird. you want to work for ge too. hahaha, what? well we're always looking for developers who are up for big world changing challenges like making planes, trains and hospitals run better. why don't you check your new watch and tell me what time i should be there. oh, i don't hire people. i'm a developer. i'm gonna need monda

then he went to joe mccarthy and he was darker, and more introverted.ge wallace playing the race card. trump is a combo of all three of those. you could not have three better clips than those. i would add to it, however, now that trump may get the republican nomination, richard nixon. that idea of enemies listed. want to know who slights me. the way that trump has gone out after the press. you didn't really see those three just lambaste the press like trump did. but nixon when he hired spiro agnew as his pit bull just realized he could score some points by just calling the press trash. >> you also said that demagogues tend to be entertaining. how big of a factor is that? >> i think it's huge. i think people watch trump to laugh. to be reassured. i think the -- he's figured out that people are tired of political correctness. but you know, here i am writing on fdr. and fdr's view was we've got to unify america. trump view is divide and conquer. you couldn't have two different styles. in the end, the great presidents are people that can project a deep opti

>> this reminds me of where we are now of what we thought we had learned of the the joe mccarthy era. the press has to say this is true, this is false. one of the things the media and i think cable tv in particular stands convicted of for months is failing to be prepared enough to if you're going to put trump on him as a front runner to say you said this, this is false. certainly not to put on unvetted 45 minute long town meetings where all you hear are rallies and trump speak. that becomes almost like steak tv. that's what happens when they use to speak. the appetite for the ratings was very candid when he said trump may not be good very america and he's good for the accompany. i think the desire to have him on and the unpreparedness of the people interviewing him will stand for a long time as a serious black mark. >> i want one point, he was talking about the advertising revenue for cbs. that's an example how have a long drawn out campaign helps the bottom line of the media companies. you're thinking that cable news when it covers trump is like state tv. i don't hear them complainin

that was joe mccarthy at his worse in the form of ted cruz tonight. the night began with rubio, justifying his schoolyard tactics against trump and trump trying to set the record straight on one of those attacks. >> donald trump has basically mocked everybody with personal attacks. he's done it to people sitting on the stage today. he's done so about people who are disabled. if there's anyone who deserved to be attacked that way is donald trump for the way he's treated people in the campaign. let's be honest, the media has given these personal attacks that donald trump has made an incredible amount of coverage. let's talk about the issues that matter to this country. i'm ready to do that right here, right here tonight. >> i happened to call him a lightweight. i said that. i would like to take that back. he's not that much of a lightweight. i have to say this, i have to say this, he hit my hands. nobody has ever hit my hands of the i've never heard of this. look at those hands. are they small hands? and he referred to my hands, if they're small, someth
