joe mccarthy was in the end, we have to remember, answerable to congress, answerable to the americanlic, to the voters in wisconsin as well as the electorate. and in the end they decided to strip him of his committee chairmanships, sensor h censor the senate and his political career was over and he died in disgrace. robert mueller is really in a position, an unusual position in american constitutional history of being unaccountable to anyone. it's part of the problem that comes with any special counsel that's been appointed, whether we are talking about somebody like robert mueller or whether we are talking about robert fitzgerald. >> sure. >> or whether we are talking about kenneth starr. we remember the questions that were raised about what kind of mandate kenneth starr have investigation those are the questions that still remain to be answered with robert mueller. in mccarthy's case, he was accountable, he was held accountable for what he did wrong and history judged him on the basis of that. >> in mccarthy's case in that same era there was man by the name of ray cohen. mccarthy's

lester huntt -- hated joe mccarthy, and joe mccarthy hated lester hunt.everybody knows that mccarthy was anti-communist and all that. there was also a certain anti-gay movement, part of mccarthyism. at the time, lafayette square, lafayette park was a meeting place for gay men. lester hunt's son, who was in his early 20's, i think, was over there. and was going to -- you know. police were there people lookingre for a good time. he was arrested. normally, this would not lead to anything. but joe mccarthy and his henchmen found out about it and said this is how we are going to get rid of lester hunt. democrat in a a very republican-leaning state. so let's threaten him, that we were going to expose this throughout wyoming, that his son had been arrested. at first, lester hunt fought that off. but then he was about to run for we areion, and they said really going to smear this all over the state. he was so distraught that he went into his office in the senate and shot himself, committed suicide with a rifle. that was a story that i had not heard. a bit about t

. >> you think he's the joe mccarthy here? think there's any question about it, i said something about it back in february on our air. if you look at what mccarthy did, he attacked the legitimate institutions of the government. he attacked the state department for having communists in it, he attacked the usia. he attacked the voice of america. he attacked other government departments. he tried to say even as the president and those around him have been saying, he essentially said there is a deep state riddled with communists that we have to be concerned about. and he was making it all up. and, yes, the president has consistently -- he learned at the knee, as you pointed out, of roy cohen, cohen was more than his lawyer. he was his mentor. and cohen's tactics were mccarthy's tactics. throughout his business life, trump's tactics have been cohn's tactics and mccarthy's tactics and the birtherism question is a mccarthyite tactic. et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. and calling mueller a thug. >> it is interest ing if you believe joe

the irony there being that roy cohen, of course, who worked for joe mccarthy, was the great mentor and adviser for all those years, a lawyer for donald j. trump. >> for donald trump and roger stone, and i would say that they both exhibit much more characters of mccarthy than mueller. there is no comparison between them. it's just totally silly. and i want to add to something that kathy said which was john dean was actually asked to write a report that would go public for nixon. and he was asked to, of course, lie and make up facts. and he actually never did it because he couldn't bring himself to write down the lies when he knew and was advising the president without knowing the president had known for much longer about the fact that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and that the obstruction of justice was happening. and so we need to keep that in mind as well. we look at who john dean was and who, hopefully, don mcgahn is, that he'll equally tell the truth. >> jill wine-bank, with that extraordinary insight into history. kathy ruemler, the experience of a former white house

he was elected right at the time joe mccarthy had his fight. mr. hunt hated joe mccarthy. joe mccarthy hated lester hunt. everybody knows that mccarthy that.ti-communist and all there was also a certain anti-gay movement, part of mccarthyism. at the time, lafayette square, lafayette park was a meeting place for gay men. who was in's son, wasearly 20's, i think, over there. the police, undercover police were out there trying to spare people looking for a good time. he was arrested. normally, this wouldn't lead to anything. to mccarthy and his henchmen found out about it. re's how we are going to get rid of lester hunt. him -- we were going to expose this in wyoming, that his son had been arrested. --first, lester hunt said flop that off -- fought that off. he was running for reelection and he was so distraught that he went into his office and shot himself with a rifle, committed suicide. that was a story i had not heard. a bit about the story of gay before thingsica changed. here, we are getting up to this bush. george h w at the beginning of his administration, crack cocai

to compare bob mueller to joseph mccarthy. >> joe mccarthy was a demagogue, and we haven't heard a public sill bell from bob mueller in more than a year. and i've got to add that mccarthy's lawyer, larry cohn, became donald trump's personal lawyer and mentor for decades. i mean the irony here, just amazing. >> all of what you said is factually accurate. director clapper, i want to talk about the focus on john brennan. after president trump's press conference with vladimir putin in helsinki brennan unleashed some pretty remarkable criticisms against the president saying it was quote, nothing short of treasonous. take a listen how brennan explained that comment just a couple days ago. >> and i did say it rises to and exceeds the level of high crimes and misdemeanors and there's nothing short of treasonous. i didn't mean he committed treason, but it was a term i used nothing short of treasonous. >> but you didn't mean he committed treason, though? >> i said it was nothing short of treasonous, yeah. >> we'll get into the president's behavior in a second. but do you think john brennan's hyperb

i think the fact that the president has both invoked joe mccarthy and watergate in a very short period are the two of the most p divisive, devastating stories. mccarthy died an alcoholic death in 1957 and president nixon had to leave washington in disgrace. i think there's something telling about the fact that these are the examples that the president's going back to. >> shawna thomas, what's your take on that? >> the president is learning the right lesson about what the white house counsel's job is by invoking john dean. it seems he confuses a lot of things, he calls it a witch hunt, is he talking about himself and collusion or is he talking about the overall idea of what mueller is investigating. the white house counsel is not his personal lawyer, and i think that is starting to become very clear to the president. and maybe his personal lawyers, like rudy giuliani is telling him that, it's not don mcgahn's job to protect president trump, it's his job to protect the presidency. if that also combines with don mcgahn protecting himself from having to go to jail, which i believe john dea

one of the things that resonated the most with me was joe mccarthy. joe mccarthy was a demagogue.e was right in the sense that there were communists trying to infiltrate the government, he was correct about that. he did not catch any of them, j edgar hoover did. he conducted the campaign of smearing and lying. the entire media world was caught flat-footed and did not know how to respond. this were people, as a did research, you may have heard a hero offrom maine is a mine now having done research for this book. she went to the floor of the senate in 1950 and condemned mccarthyism. to give you historical perspective, edward murrow didn't taking mccarthy on until 1954. he wasn't censured by the senate until later that year. this was four years before anyone else in the senate really had the guts to do it. , you seestudy that era a lot of people not standing up for what they knew to be right. for every margaret smith, there he a senator robert taft, was a legendary ohio senator related to the former president. he ran for president in 1952, losing to eisenhower in the primary. he was

. >> it's joe mccarthy tactics run amuck. joe mccarthy was never president of the united states. t down by eisenhower, the u.s. army and others. in this case, the mccarthy in the white house. he's struggling for his life. he's got to survivor this onslaught coming on right now. if not, if the democrats in the mid terms take congress, they will move to impeach him and he'll be have his whole next year just tied up in a legal knot. he's making a takedown play right now and is going to be using these revoking of people like orr and others security clearance as bait for the media week after week when ever he wants to unleash. then he'll start talking about these people and mocking them in rallies around the country. >> quickly because you said this week a is sign this is failed presidency. can you talk about that quickly . >> you had the press secretary not able to deny the president used the n word on a videotape. then you have a president who if you close your eyes when he's talking, sounds not right. i'm not a doctor. it's someone who is clearly fighting demons that he's creating.

roy cohn, joe mccarthy's counsel and donald trump's. sometimes you don't have to make this stuff up. it falls in your lap. he wrote a book about mccarthy saying, a., he bought anti-communism the way other people buy a used car, it was just a vehicle to take over the american politics and particularly in the right wing, and secondly, people got tired of the show. they got tired of having as fdr once said, the highest note in the scale repeated again and again and again. >> susan del percio, then donny. what's your gut? >> the first thing i thought of listening, again, to all of this falsehoods is, wow, this is really why his attorneys, president trump's attorneys, do not want him to go in front of robert mueller. he gets all revved up and he just -- he simply cannot tell the truth, and, yes, it's getting old, but thank goodness people are still speaking up and trying to, you know, speak out against it, but, boy, is he in trouble if he goes in front of mueller. >> donny? >> the saddest and most frightening thing to me when trump is at thes

so i'm not sure why the president would choose to go after joe mccarthy when at the same time sayinge needs his roy cohen. >> there's more to discuss. sources are now saying that president trump is clearly rattled, his legal team in the dark over exactly what the white house counsel don mcgahn told the mueller team and the 30 hours of interviews. >>> plus, the president's former lawyer michael cohen visits his own lawyer on this day as federal prosecutors prepare charges, might be coming in the next few days. will the former fixer now cooperate with the fed? stay with us. you're in "the situation room." f you get punished for using it? news flash: nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. switch and you could save $782 on home and auto insurance. call for a free quote today. liberty mutual insurance. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ who would have guessed? an energy company helping cars emit less. making cars lighter, it's a good place to start, advanced oils for those hard-working parts. fuels th

joe mccarthy was never quiet for a week let alone a year. >> there's everything unsettling about it, john, including rudy giuliani's undocumented attack on mueller for leaking. they have not leaked at the special counsel's office. they have been absolutely careful about their responsibility, not to leak information. this is a textbookcase of projection where somebody takes their own misgivings and bad acts and projects them on someone else. mueller is a complete boy scout as far as conducting an honest and fair investigation is concerned. there's no evidence whatsoever that they are violating their responsibility not to leak. on the other hand giuliani leak all the time. >> thanks so much for being with us. appreciate your insight. >> an update on a crime story. we could learn why colorado prosecutors believe that chris watts, who you see there killed his pregnant wife and daughters when he is formally charged with the crime today. we have a live report for you next. so you have, your headphones, chair, new laptop, 24/7 tech support. yep, thanks guys. i think he might need some suppo

joe mccarthy knew how to manipulate that system. he would call a press conference for 11:00 in the morning because he knew the papers closed at noon. he would say i'm seeking a communist in demy name s moines. he would wait until 11:00 p.m., headlines across the country, redoubles effort. he rode that to power but television helped undo him. because when people could watch him, they didn't want that. he rose because of intense coverage and fell because of intense coverage. that's the mysterious cycle here. i think physical anything the world is going to get more atomized, we're going to get more voices and we have to hope there's a kind of chorus that checks and balances each other. >> i think i'm looking -- i'm asking you to look back through presidents over time to find examples that support, or don't, the idea that we need a free, fair press in this country. because today there is a sense that the press that succeeds is the press -- not all of it, but a lot of it is press that's driven by an agenda. and it's got an enormous, enth

donald trump compared this probe to mccarthyism, but he had the wrong mccarthy, not joe mccarthy but arlie mccarthy. a bunch of dummies, the strings are being pulled by a bunch of overheated tax in the media. >> they made a really good point which is, if trump's actions are lawful, which it looks like, that's what's going to happen, you cannot question the motivations behind it because then that is nothing more than mind-reading. if trump's head -- if it's all in trump's head about his actions are clear then you've got nothing. that's a pretty compelling point to make which is why you see on morning joe now, they are talking once again about trump being mentally unwell and he's got some kind of mental derangement, he's incapable. and, that means they that you overslept and didn't have any time to do any reading or work. >> but let's say mueller comes back and says cleared, no collusion, and then of course the white house isn't going to be very happy about that like i told you so all along. but the democrat says it was rigged. it might never end. >> when is joe scarborough on? because

he hired joe mccarthy's lawyer to be his own personal lawyer. es the scare tactics of mccarthy. where you see the similarities between trump and mccarthy is joseph mccarthy scapegoated the great secretary of state for truman and went after a nobel prize winning states person and just tried to smear them. you see trump doing the same thing with john brennan. it is because both mccarthy and trump have a fear of what we are calling the deep state. >> the president today also tweeting white house council don mcgahn is not a quote john dean type rat. i asked john dean what were his conversations with president nixon like after nixon found out dean had testified against him. >> unpleasant. >> seriously? >> i was very open when i broke rank in doing so. i think i told my predecessor and then president's top domestic adviser. i told the chief of staff. i told them what i was going to do after i failed to convince the president to stop the cover up. i said somebody has to go talk to the lawyers about this. this thing has got to end. i tried to convince my

joe mccarthy is what the president is making the comparison of today and mule. >> mueller. >> startling especially since they share a common ally in roy cohen. the president is clearly ruffled and interested in this investigation. he comments on it every day it seems. the past week we have seen multiple tweets coming from this president about this specific issue, and again because this investigation is ongoing, because of the scope of it not only in terms of russian meddling and the question of collusion, but also the question of obstruction of justice, what he is doing, what he has done, all of these raise more questions that we don't have the answers to yet about how this all ends up. >> okay. thank you so much. great way to start this hour. have a good sunday. >>> on the attack. omarosa manigault newman calling the president a racist just this morning, even accusing him of trying to start a race war. as she vows to cooperate with the special counsel, should the president's legal team be worried? i've been making blades here at gillette for 20 years. i bet i'm the first blade maker yo

in a new attempt to discredit mueller, the president says study the late joe mccarthy. does he really want to be making comparisons to mccarthy now? the truth is the truth. something that we actually have to say these days. next. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depressi

he took roy cohn, who was senator joe mccarthy's lawyers, he was one of the nastiest lawyers in new york. the bottom line is donald trump doesn't want to listen to good lawyers, good lawyers don't want to work for him. he ends up with people like michael cohen. it's been a disaster. i would never want to be donald trump's lawyer. i wouldn't want to end up going to jail. >> there is a lot of liability that seems to come with working in this white house. thank you, guys. >>> coming up, while robert mueller's team ponders its next move, paul manafort's lawyers want to move his next trial. >>> why this contest is being called a proxy war in the national political debate. "the 11th hour" just getting started on a wednesday night. which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, they're on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why

age of mccarthy was over, but there was still a lot of people worried about the same things that joe mccarthy had been warning america about a decade before. but the democrats ruled the day, the democrats have a, johnson and democrats run a campaign that is successful, not just in, not in just bringing, judaism that was started in the age of roosevelt, white working class voters from the north and midwest, and african-american voters, but also to successfully paint goldwater as an extremist. here's, what's interesting, goldwater doesn't win very much, he wins his home state of arizona, but he takes states that have been solidly blue, democratic, for decades and decades. he's the deep south, the election troll -- electoral votes go for goldwater, the deep south -- they find a great, something that is a great betrayal of their state's rights, and their way of life by the federal government. and goldwater is a states rights guy. he is a believer in freedom, a believer in as little government intrusion as possible, including in the south. he has states going red in the south for the first time, b
