of his time, tweeting about -- >> it is a little ironic for the president to be talking about joe mccarthy in a negative way when the president's idol, roy cohen was the right hand man of mccarthy. he was like the snake behind the power. >> did you want to have common sense -- it's hard to inject here. it is ironic. it's hypocritical, and what's so shocking is the president has essentially tried to create his own list of people who he thinks are his political adversaries, his enemies including the press. people who are required by law and ethical obligations to recuse themselves. jeff sessions. somebody entitled and required to appoint a special counsel, rod rosenstein. he's accusing them of doing the wrong thing when they're required to do that which they did. it's difficult because the president of the united states is the head of the executive branch. if you don't understand that people need to actually follow the law, everything that follows that will be hypocritical. will not have common sense and logic. you get hotter under the collar the closer you are to the flames. every statement

attorney general's job was to protect the president you know like roy cohn would would would protect joe mccarthy during his most noxious days and if that's was his conception to get rid of mr sessions you have to ask well is that what mr whitaker told the president he would protect him from the arm of the law and that gets you then into impeachable offenses and obstruction of justice for both mr clinton and mr nixon word concluded by congress to be impeachable now a singer joined in the said the u.s. by all accounts to c.n.n. has had his press credentials of all thought that he was accused by the white house of inappropriate behavior during a press conference with donald trump jim acosta was trying to ask a second question of when and to try to take the microphone off him and he resisted the white house press secretary said to send a shade a video of the incident slow down and zooming in on a costas hand she tweeted that we will not tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do his job as a white house and ten c.n.n. says acosta did nothing wrong and accuse sanders of

in a negative way when the president's idol, roy cohn, was the right-hand man of joe mccarthy. he was the snake behind the power. >> it's hard to actually inject here because it is ironic. it's hypocritical and of course what's so shocking is the president has essentially tried to create his own list of people who he thinks are his political adversaries, are his enemies including the press, people who were required by law and ethical obligations to recuse themselves, jeff segs. somebody who was required to actually appoint a special counsel, rod rosenstein. that's really difficult for people to wrap their minds around especially remember the president of the united states is the head of the executive branch whose role it is to fa h faithfully ensure it's executed. and gloria is right, you get hotter under the collar the closer you are to the flames. in every statement that he makes, everything entices mueller and the scrutiny of special counsel to say why is the lady protesting so much. >> senator santorum, do you think rod rosenstein belongs behind bars? are you immune at this

. >> joe mccarthy was in uniform. so the reality is, you don't judge by the breed, you joined by the individual. military service can be great because you can see things in a less simplified way and you start to understand what life can be so it's a good thing. but it's just to that point. the other thing i would say is i think all former professional military people who make it a career, there should be a time when people like david eisenhower or ulysses s grantgoes to the presidency or the senators, that's a good thing . but it shouldn't be viewed as a normal route into politics. because if that happened, it being a politician, senior politician was best facilitated by going through the military and being a general and doing that, would change the officer corps. it would take a generation of so but you change it would be a lot like the countries governments we are not as comfortable with so i think it ought to be an admiration and occasional thing. , you don't want people entering the military because they think tha

u [laughter] joe mccarthy was in uniform. reality is, you do not judge by the breed, you judge by the individual. that experience can be great because you can become more and see things in a less simplified way and you start to understand what life can be. so i think is a good thing but it is just a data point.go the other thing i would say is, i think all former professional military people make it a career, there should be a time when selected people like dwight eisenhower, ulysses s grant goes to the president's where the senator or something senior. i think that's a good thing. sebut it should not be viewed a a normal route into politics. because if that happened, if being a politician, senior politician in the u.s. was best facilitated by going to g military and being a general in doing that, you would change the officer corps. it would take a generation or so, but you would change and we would be a lot like some countries whose governments were not as comfortable with. and so i think it ought to be an aberration, an occ

and i mean, joe mccarthy, could do the same thing. in the early '50s. george wallace did it in the '60s self-as his daughter said, she was reminiscing on his rallies and said, daddy's recalls could get right rough, and i mean, chair-throwing, so, it is -- i mean, some people have this gift, the demagogues gift, and trump really has it. he is an extraordinary politician. that is volatile energy. he is gathering, channeling, and surfing, and i wouldn't call it by any means the energy of our better angels. it's very dangerous. >> as someone who lives in texas, could you talk about the current senate race there? >> could i talk but the current senate race there. >> maybe what your involvement has been with it? >> my involvement. in in my involvement is tithing to a particular candidate. i think -- i think beto o'rourke is running a very fine campaign, taking the high road. not taking pac money, talking about things that really matter to people. is sharpening the distinctions between his agenda and the mainstream republican agenda. not going for this kind of

it's the stuff we saw joe mccarthy and other folks try to pull out.s fear and anger and intimidation and the idea that it's based on anything real, we should not be assume that at all. >> it's an empty threat. anytime we have heard fisa -- >> it's make a new plan -- >> when you are abusing your power in order to get some kind of self benefit, which is to prevent democrats from performing their lawful functions, which is oversight investigation, whatever it is that they want to do, that starts to look like obstruction and it could be an impeachable offense. you can't abuse your power that way. >> thank you very much, and our apologies to paul simon. >>> the kremlin made it official, the russian leader, vladimir putin, and the president of the united states, donald trumps, will meet this weekend. will the president confront putin about the clash with ukraine, the fact that russia, you know, has ukrainian ships and things like that. we will have a live report next. hey, guys, get something for nana. brian! thomas! yeah. hey! hey, uh, quick question. do y

he's comparing the investigation t to the era of joe mccarthy when hundreds of americans were accusedsterday during an interview with the "washington post" in the oval office, they asked him about pardoning paul manafort, if there was going to be anything in this for paul manafort and the president didn't want to talk about it on the record. he went off the record, discussed this with them. then they asked if there was any version of what he said off the record that he wanted to put on the record about potentially pardoning paul manafort and he said no because he didn't want to get in the middle of this. brooke, that doesn't seem to be a problem today. now he's telling "the new york post" a pardon for paul manafort is not off the table. >> kaitlan, stay with me. i want to stay on this. chief correspondent dana bash is with me, who just broke the story on the written responses and trump to mueller and shimon prokupecz is with me as is dan whitney, attorney general. dana, it's fast and furious this week and it's only wednesday. but the notion that the president would on the record say p

republicans are now squarely the party of joe mccarthy, and until that cancer is excised, it should not be entrusted with power. >> for more, go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" column this week. let's get started. >>> let's go to today's political panel. katrina vanden heuvel is the editor and publisher of "the nation." anthony scaramucci was briefly the communications director at the trump white house. he's the author of a new book "trump, the blue collar president." and james fallows is a national correspondent for "the atlantic." he and his wife debra are the co-authors of a terrific book, "our town's 100,000 mile journey into the heart of america." jim, let me start with you. if you were to look at the state of america, the statistics, economy is doing very, very well. consumer confidence is very high. unemployment is down. things like crime are down. illegal immigration is way down. and yet donald trump is running not on a morning in america campaign but an evening in america campaign. some might say midnight in america campaign. why do you think that is? >> it's a

seems to be growing more and more frantic day by day com paparing the mueller investigation to joe mccarthy and the rogue investigators and on and on and on. what we do know and of course we are all piecing all of this together, but we do know he finished answering questions in writing. we do know from reports that manafort's attorney has been talking to the white house about generally what's been going on in his part of the woods here after their negotiations fell apart. and things seem to have just been spinning and spinning and spinning since that time. there is nongthing wrong with manafort's attorney talking to the white house, but his client is a cooperator or was a cooperator and attorneys have raised questions about that. what do they know now? what do the president's attorneys know and what does the president know about the areas that bob mueller intends to pursue? what he learned this morning is that there is an area involving -- and michael cohen and concerning this trump tower moscow because now the two men are telling divergent stories. i think you should expect that this spinn

admitted-- something politicians rarely do today-- that he could have been braver in facing down joe mccarthyalthough if we recall the only man in the senate to do it was margaret jenkins. of the rest of them .-dot. he voted for the mccarron internal security act, which forced people in the communist party to register, but eventually that was ruled unconstitutional and he supported the 1954 communist control act, which would force members of the communist party to register which was never invoked. ridiculous overhaul. humphrey admitted he could of been braver. he failed the moral test on that like so many democrats, he also struggled with the presidency and made his first run in 1960, when he ran in the primaries against john kennedy and to put it as simply as i can he lacks the charisma, money, hollywood entourage and all the rest versus kennedy who had no legislative record to speak of and he lost out to john kennedy. that taught him a lesson that many others followed. humphrey decided after losing out to kennedy that the only route for him to the presidency was through the vice presidency,

attorney general's job was to protect the president unlike roy cohn would would would protect joe mccarthy during his most noxious days and if that's was his conception it gets rid of mr sessions you have to ask well is that what mr whitaker told the president he would protect him from the arm of the law and that gets you then into impeachable offenses and obstruction of justice for both mr clinton and mr nixon word concluded by congress to be impeachable and as we've been reporting you know mr bush it has said in the past that this is what's hont echoing what donald trump says he speculated on ways that it could and by you know cutting the budget for us but when you're talking about having the capacity now. i ask the new acting attorney general these questions doesn't the acting attorney general have the power to level of this investigation how's this going to work. well he does have the formal pottery except as pointed out his appointment may well be unconstitutional under the appointments clause any principal officer of the united states ordinarily requires senate confirmation and a sta

he stood up to joe mccarthy and worst of all from the standpoint of contemporary conservatives he appointed warren as supreme court justice and they delivered their segregation ruling. in hindsight it seems pretty darn reasonable to me. this is where the conservative conservative movement was born. wasn't all extremism, but there was a lot of extremism. there was a very dark underside to it. most of the republican presidents who came into office, whether was reagan or the bush or areas others were much more moderate in practice a lot of grassroot conservatives finally have the president they were looking for all raw all along. >> i want to open it up to questions. i'm sure there's a lot. show me your hand, i will see you and i will come to people in order. [inaudible] what i didn't understand is the extent that you like george wallace infiltrated the party and when i make this criticism, and i often hear from outraged trump supporters who say george wallace was a democrat. well yes, that is true, but you have to understand the history of modern american politics and understand that in the 1

king was horrified when kennedy was made attorney general he was associated with the joe mccarthy and as antiunion and also i did not realize that white liberals loathed mccarthy for one reason but blacks loathed him for another for him anti- communism was an additional dimension because many black leaders were communist or leftist like belafonte, robeson and w e-b-letter devoid they were very weary of the kennedys. so the great affection for john kennedy and affection for the kennedys so that gave them a pass on civil rights and they overlooked their foot dragging to the actual period of the kennedy administration because the record is very frustrating. >> k rfk was an ambassador. >> do you think he was an ambassador? . >> know because ruston had to be behind the scenes also rfk was behind the scenes? . >> but ruston had to be hidden. he was incredibly effective but only from the shadows who verbalize on to him and he was vulnerability for the civil rights movement and they had to squirrel him away so kennedy was working behind the scenes but he never had to be afraid of appearing pu
