so in 1950, joseph mccarthy claimed that there were 205 card-carrying communists in the federal governmentthe department replies, they're like, no, no, no, not communist. they said they have no communists, they do say they forced out, they called, security risks, among those were 91 gay people. and then, you have a public, a press, that takes up this piece of information and says, this is evidence that the entire government was infiltrated with what they called at the time sex perverts. and it led to the firing of thousands of government employees. so in 1950, many thought that gay people posed more of a threat to national security then communists in the united states. and you have agencies across the country boasting that they were firing up to one gay person a day, which is more than double the rate for those considered politically disloyal. so, why? what is the logic of this? so, there were these two categories that federal agencies were working with to ferret out people they didn't want to be working there. one was those who they considered disloyal, and these were people who would be

so joseph mccarthy famous senator from wisconsin led witch hunts in the early 50s looking for communistse federal government and also in hollywood and he's really feeding into this strong national paranoia. that there could be communists all among you that it was like a fifth column that you could never quite knew but you always had to be on guard the communist might be your neighbor your teacher your grocer. so in 1950 joseph mccarthy claimed that there were 205 card carrying communists in the federal government. and the state department replied they're like no no, no not communists. they said they have no communists, but they do say they forced out they called security risks and among those were 91 gay people. and then you have a public a press that sort of takes up this this piece of information. and says this is evidence that the entire government was infiltrated with what they called at the time sex perverts. and it led to the firing of thousands of government employees. so in 1950 many thought that gay people posed more of a threat to national security than communists in the united

red baiting pre-seated joseph mccarthy, and continued that for mccarthy's political device.lements and the fact he is marketing them in objecting them into the mainstream, that he has demonstrated just how many norms you can shatter, that you can attempt to overthrow a -- the government, effectively, and still be considered a political figure in good standing within the elements of the republican party, all of those things pointed to a much deeper set of problems then the political lifespan of any single individual. donald trump or anyone else. >> yeah. tara, you left the republican party in 2020 because of its embrace of trumpism. do you think that folks in the party are now and enemy of trump, or are they doing for the same principle reasons you think or, something different? >> well, it's clearly not based on principle, because donald trump did plenty prior to his election denial lie and the insurrection. he never should've been elected in the first place. if republicans were operating on principle, they would've rejected him back in 2016. instead, you have too many repub

at the same time a new red scare thanks to the onset of the cold war, people like senator joseph mccarthy and the house un-american activities committee, before television cameras, found relatively few actual communists while ruining many lives and careers. in 1954 senator mccarthy overplayed his hand, censored by the senate and the second red scare began to fade away. socialism disappeared as a political force after world war ii, his lastgasp was the presidential campaign of henry wallace, conservatives wondered at what point the social safety net ends and latter-day socialism begins. the democratic party has moved markedly leftward in the last few years and once again we are hearing calls from the far left for socialist policies such as medicare for all and ego material policies like punitive wealth tax on those who have been successful. britain tried this tactic in the labor government after world war ii, the top income tax rate was 104%. in other words you were fined for creating too much wealth. that goes a long way to exciting why britain's economic recovery after the war was so slu

he was the chief lawyer of senator joseph mccarthy's hearings during the red scare, and he later representedmp when the federal government was investigating him r housing discrimination in 1970. roy cohn was a guest on the original "firing line" with william f. buckley jr. in 1976, defending the fbi against accusations of overreach. take a look. >> if the fbi can't have a certain amount of latitude in internal-security cases to get enough information together so it can at least be forewarned and try to do what it has done, a successful protective job along those lines, we're going to destroy our own freedoms under the guise of trying to save. >> in 2017, donaldrump lamented, "where's my roy cohn?" when he was frustrated that his attorney general was not doing enough to protect him from the russia investigation. what do we see in donald trump, the president, that he absorbed from his mentor, roy cohn? >> what he learned from cohn is, fight against everything, you know, say up is down and down is up. say that you are being persecuted. you know, never settle, except, of course, when you do sett

people like senator joseph mccarthy and the house on american activity how how did people before televisionhounded people on cameras, but found relatively few actual communists while ruining many lives and careers. finally in 1954 senator mccarthy overplayed his hand, was censored by the senate. the second red scare began to fade away. as socialism disappeared as a political force after world war ii, his last gas was probably the presidential campaign of henry lawless in 1948. conservatives had worried about at what point the social safety net ends and a latter day socialism begins. the democratic party has moved remarkably lefter in the last five years, and they, we are once again hearing calls from that far left for socialist policies such as medicare for all and egalitarian policies such as a punitive wealth tax on those who have been excessively successful. britain tried this tactic in the labor government of plymouth atley and post world war ii, but the top income ring in britain was 104%. in other words, you were fined for creating too much wealth. that goes a long way to explaining w

. >> you had alluded to joseph mccarthy and acheson being attacked by him.as a child, i came home from grade school age six, seven, eight, and they were on the tv and i'd watch it and didn't know what i was watching. but i saw a drama. one of my cousins was called before the mccarthy committee. was truman outspoken at all in his presidency? >> mccarthy got more and more powerful later on. truman let mccarthy have it. mccarthy gave his famous first speech in wheeling in 1950. and truman, actually there was one press conference said that mccarthy is the best friend the kremlin has. those were the days when presidents could take it back -- truman modified it somewhat. he hated mccarthy, despised mccarthy. mccarthy hadn't really just become powerful person he was, he became a destructive person. his attack on general marshall was extraordinary. i quote some of it in the book, and people remember just a couple of lines. it was pretty insane, some of the things he said. the idea that marshall was at the root of everything, the loss of china... it's extraordinary a

joseph mccarthy, for whom we call mccarthy's.mccarthy. the same can be called about trumpism. the conspiracy theories around immigration, the rise of social media and his ability to undermine traditional media, some of which brought good reforms and benefits. in other instances, it made it possible to spread the rampant disinformation that was happening prior to 2016. the decline interest in traditional media that happens at the same time, the cratering of local news. there is a whole array -- to use the clichÉ, a perfect storm of things that happen in councillor that allow us to get into the kind of quagmire that we find ourselves in now. >> it's been almost two years since january the 6th. i myself am a critic of the media and how it has covered january 6th, and other instances of this extreme polarization, sometimes falling into the -- i think i got that right. how do you see the media over the past two years? are they getting it, right or are they getting better at that coverage? >> in some ways, yes, and in some ways, no. on

i joseph mccarthy, for whom we call mccarthyism, most of things referred to as mccarthy-ism preceded theories around immigration. the rise social media. its ability to undermine traditional media. some of which have brought good reforms and benefits. another instances amid possible to spread after disinformation and that was happening prior to 2016. they declined interest in traditional media that have the same time. the cratering of local news. there is a whole array or a perfect storm of things that happened and -- that allow us to get into the kind of wide mired we find ourselves in now. >> it has been almost two years and generate the six. i myself am a critic of the media and how the media has coverage entering the sixth and in other instances of this extreme polarization. sometimes fall into this trap of both sides it is a. i got that right. both sides of islam's. and whataboutisms. how do you see the media over the past two years? are they getting it right? are they getting better at that coverage? >> in some ways yes. in some ways no. one of the things we saw was that the cri

you had alluded to joseph mccarthy and atchison being attacked by him, i as a child i come home from in mid grade school age six seven eight and they were on the tv and i'd watch i didn't know what i was watching but i saw drama certainly one of my cousins actually was paul before the mccartney. really? yeah, but oh, what did truman that he was he outspoken at all? this is after his presidency, of course, but was he outspoken at all about mccarthy and what was going on? oh, yeah. i'm sorry. yes. i mean mccarthy got sort of sort of one more powerful later on but no he was definitely truman truman. let mccarthy have it. i mean mccarthy gave his famous first speech and in wheeling in 1950 and truman truman actually was one press conference when truman said that mccarthy mccarthy is the he's the best friend the kremlin has and then he actually those were the days when when presidents could take it back. there was they had to get you had to get permission to be quoted directly and they went to charlie ross his press secretary. he said can we use that in truman modified it somewhere but he

. >> the word decency, lawrence, it is hard not to think about the mccarthy hearings and the famous line from joseph welch chastising senator mccarthy -- at long last, have you no sense of decency? and that very much could be said about the former president, ted cruz, elon musk, kari lake, a slew of people who, i think, by any stretch of the imagination, have had a completely in human response to the truly harrowing situation that paul pelosi found himself in i. was really struck by his wherewithal and having his wits about him. and it reminded me so much of nancy pelosi having her wits about her on january 6th, both of them having this incredible -- and you can see it's something that probably bound them together. and one word, which i think joyce would agree with, which is, when i was a prosecutor, we had a truly terrific relationship with the defenders in our district. they do just incredible work. they are -- i found, completely ethical in terms of how they handle themselves. and just a truly wonderful relationship with prosecutors, being tenacious, as they have to be, but always playing within

joseph. thank you very much. what an honor. point is, mccarthye horrible people have the power to make him do horrible things. one person who comes pre-horribled is georgia congresswoman... ( audience booing ) and top dumb, marjorie taylor greene. greene threw her support behind kevin mccarthy for speaker. in exchange, she says, "he's going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway," and predicts she'll be on committees investigating "traitors and criminals." i can't wait to see the investigations she launches: "what's hunter biden's wifi password? who distributed spoons to the gazpacho police? where does the water in my sponge go at night? is it siphoned off to a secret jewish space loofa?" this was also-- ( applause ) 3 "i demand answers!" i can't-- i dent an impression. there is no way. this was also a big day for outgoing house speaker nancy pelosi, seen here waiting for tony stark to land so she can tell him about the avengers initiative. ( laughter ) with republicans winning the house, pelosi took to the floor to announce her plans for

time will tell joseph biden could face impeachment anyway kevin mccarthy, the leader of the still republicanf representatives, said so. some members of your party are calling for impeachment, what do you say about it ? we will never use impeachment for political purposes, but that doesn't mean it won't happen, if the situation arises, but the idea is, that what the democrats did is a betrayal. it is possible that america will soon come to an end, an american analyst. martina armstrong has warned that states could disappear as early as 2030 , the second year of this election. a wave of chaos will be launched in america, which will turn into massive upheaval and collapse becomes too difficult in a fair midterm elections, republicans. they would take the house of representatives and the senate, but corruption is so widespread that it is appalling. this is crazy pennsylvania sent out hundreds thousands of ballots to people without documents. or even non- americans. i got a lot of letters from people living in canada. they get absentee ballots. who knows how it's going to end up, it 's just so co

mccarthy is the truth of joseph and not kevin who in the fifties fought with the communist presence, most likely, we expect that there will be a large-scale hunt for witches and moreover, she is the most important e participants in this chinese conspiracy in relations means the united states and sunday the biden family and most likely will initiate an investigation against hunter biden, who is closely associated with certain chinese funds, made money there, but it must be admitted that these funds are actually not connected with xingping in any way. it's the other way around, there is some kind of alternative part of the chinese elite, which built relations with the united states. the second macardi wants to open. uh, an investigation against the coronavirus, but a new one, that is, something that has already been forgotten. long ago it would seem, yes. the second plan is gone. no , they want to return. this concept of chinese viruses is in fact this trump’s policy, trump’s line on recognizing that china is to blame and it may even turn out that a part of the democratic elite is some

joseph in ohio. this is j in florida. democrat. good morning. >> hello, thanks for taking my call. you played a little bridge with mccarthy earlier and he was emphasizing that biden in the administration knew about these problems long ago it did not do anything. and now they're being forced to rush something through. first of all, they get a lot of time and biden did talk to the -- and from mccarthy, one of the biggest issues in any retired union is sick leave. i think mccarthy gets a lot of time off. they take a lot of breaks in the make a nice wage. i do not think he is worried about sick leave as an issue. railroad workers work hard. and are an important are important to this country. obviously. as a showing up now. but i would like you to just maybe, if you could hear somebody could put on the screen, how much time congress work to take off and get off. it seems like they are never there doing anything. he is worried about some big rush now? get off your you know what. >> that is jay in florida speaking of kevin mccarthy. another headline stemming from his meeting at the white house yesterday. mccarthy condemns racist
