after mccarthy's committee -- sorry, after tidings' committee investigated mccarthy's reckless accusations, tidings stood up on the senate floor and announced that they were a fraud and a hoax. and even harold ickies, one of the purge's most fervent champions, made an bout face and praised tidings. but in 1950 tidings lost his seat in the senate to mccarthy's own hand-picked candidate. by taking down the prime target on roosevelt's hit list of 1938, mccarthy accomplished what roosevelt could not. and i wonder what fdr would have thought about the defeat of his new deal foe at the hands of joe mccarthy. there are many lessons to be learned from the purge that i discuss in my book, but the simplest ones may be that, first, it's probably best to play the cards you're dealt. second, a majority party needs to be a big tent party. and third, an effective president has to be a strong party leader and a hard-working party builder. in conclusion, let me describe another story from the summer of 1938, and you can also see it on youtube. because the whole universe is on youtube.

the people who are watching oprah or listening to what jenny mccarthy said we're not talking about 15-year-old boys, looking for old issues of playboy. we are talking about parents who relate to another parent talking about their experiences. and their experience with their children. this is a little bit distinct. we get to the same an end point we do with climate change and others things. the way you get there is different. >> it is probably harder in what you cover remain stream reporters in publications like the l.a. times to ignore someone who has a ph.d. in front of their name. when you look at this why is it time after time there is this false equivalency in these articles about global warming or any of the other topics you have written about? >> i keep getting asked that question by journalists. you tell me. it is your business. it is the mystery to me why this is so different. on one level it is understandable in journalists who have a deadline and are not a specialist in science could be confused by these issues and think i need another voice to give me a different perspectiv

the late the late wisconsin senator joe mccarthy the maestro of the communist witch hunts in the one nine hundred fifty s. that divided our nation turned us against each other and ruined the lives of tens of thousands of law abiding american citizens it back peter king used to work for mccarthy's committee lead lawyer roy cohn so it probably does actually have mccarthy's playbook but here's the thing paul mccarthy was distracting us all from a right with irrational fears of communists most americans totally missed a fundamental transformation that was taking place in our country from the taft hartly act that cripple our unions in one thousand nine hundred seven to the rise of the military industrial complex in the one nine hundred fifty s. that led us to over eleven thousand nuclear weapons at the height of the cold war so today's rise of the security terror complex it's bringing us chertoff porno scanners it's all underway now the phone companies listening to your conversations while the internet companies are inspecting your e-mail and buying habits and they're all selling that inf

there's been in the last decade some revisionist history about good old joe mccarthy. one of the things i should mention is the for known of files, has anyone heard of the venona project? just briefly during the war the u.s. was worried that the soviet union might sue for a separate peace with the g

we talked about mccarthy. and i was taken along to a lot of civic situations and public situations where the issue of freedom of speech and the first amendment were--were predominant and very much talked about in my home. so i was raised in that environment. and that instilled in you a social conscience where you felt you could make a difference? well, i think my father really felt that one person could make a difference. he was an amazing man. i always spend a moment to talk about him, because he was blind from the age of four, and he went on to graduate summa cum laude from the university of idaho in moscow. he became a pianist and entertainer, had a wonderful career in music, but also was a-- a sort of a bit of a philosopher and loved good poetry and wrote good songs and talked to us-- all of us-- all five of us-- talked to us about life and about commitment and about the feeling that he had that one person can make a difference and does make a difference. so i was weaned on that. it was something that i al

that's what congressman mccarthy would think of as the the shoulder thing that goes up but just like those serious news guys i can even point at it dramatically with my pen see. i could even look at it or for ten the tough tough shit. i can i can stare off into space through the studio and convince you that i'm actually looking at something but most importantly this is the coolest over the shoulder box on t.v. because it's my shoulder thing that goes up see and it has sound effects take that mainstream media all right. yes and now back to your regularly scheduled programming the financial times is reporting on a survey of over eighty central bank reserve managers showing most believe that the u.s. dollar will lose its status as the world's reserve currency in the next twenty five years as holders of u.s. that continue to diversify away from the federal reserve manipulated currency the survey concludes that the dollar is likely to be replaced by a portfolio of various currencies we could have seen that coming but never fear q e three has got to be right around the corner now even lind

some critics are calling this a straight up which on and congressman king a throwback to joseph mccarthy defenders so when the threat of homegrown terror is real and growing and while the administration worries about the message the hearings themselves are sunday some are asking if congressman king's hearings could have the unintended consequence of increasing the number of radicalized muslims and making them harder to find you know your critics say they may say you're a bigot there is a there's an op ed in the new york times today by a guy named bob herbert who says he's comparing you to tell mccarthy. so what how did all that so many questions so many concerns about the message about islamophobia now zilch because some of the initial hysteria died down but let me just give you cue bit of information about the hearing was held today to focus this time was on the threat of muslim american radicalization within american prisons and once again peter king painted this threat as incredibly serious most of the witnesses however admitted that while there have been occurrences and it's worth lo

op ed in the new york times today by a guy named bob herbert who says he's comparing you to joe mccarthy. so why haven't all of that so many questions so many concerns about the message about islamophobia now zilch because some of the initial hysteria died down let me just give you a few bits of information about the hearing that was held today to focus this time was on the threat of muslim american radicalization within american prisons and once again it peter king painted this threat incredibly serious most of the witnesses however admitted that while there have been occurrences and it's worth looking into these cases are very rare in fact twenty ten report by the congressional research service concluded the prisons haven't played a large role in producing homegrown terrorists all the more reason not to have this specific hearing american prisons are dangerous places not only are they overcrowded but they are filled with violence and there are recruitment is going on at all levels of the bloods the crips the asian gangs the hispanics gangs the white supremacist organizations as well as

mccarthy also reporting to date his butt to continue putting more cops on the street by street deploying officers from industry rolls. he says want to look for more officers on the street right now. mark carter is still this to be confirmed by the full city council council. . >> and more he says we're going to prosecute an arrest every single one of them. as we had to say about the growing problem of teenage mob attacks. gains of teens roving downtown chicago suddenly attacking people beating them up for i pants, a pot and purses marcella raymond has more. it's not just where i am in the issue will carry an election drive a mitchen ave. one incident was on a city bus as well. on the usc campus tonight students are urged to be careful or riding the bus after a student was robbed of the no. 12 roosevelt bust. eight to 10 teams got on the bus and hit the students on the head with a glass bottle then took his eye pot. usc police are hoping the can on the bus will help catch them. . >> cta has extensive video surveillance and the law provides for additional penalties for people who commit cri

>> well, in the 50s, joseph mccarthy started this basically this red and people were not allowed to workith if they have affiliation of leftist organization. people were accused of being communist. they had to use different names to still get some work under ali -- this is the first time that was broken and douglas was courageous enough to do that against the times. >> for a justice issue. >> yeah, exactly. >> so we are so excited to have him on stage. he's 94. so what will happen with had him that evening. >> it is actually in the afternoon, it is in the afternoon. he will arrive in san francisco. we will bring him on stage. we will giver him the award. he will talk for a while about whatever he wants to talk about mostly i think about sparticus and breaking the blacklist. there will be some questions and then we will go into sparticus. >> wow. what are the other things coming up this year. >> another thing we are excited about is comedy night. this will be monday night at the castro. and we are going to show three iconic cartoon episodes. we call it jews in toons and we will show an ep

i spoke the number-three republican in the house leadership kevin mccarthy and he used that word and he said without the press in there nobody was doing the political posturing, they really took the opportunity-- house republicans-- to explain to the president where the philosophical divides are, are where they're coming from but, jim, i found this fascinating, the president began the meeting talking about the debt limit, the need to raise it, but then quickly they pivoted to a host of other issues. that was not the crux of the meeting. the meeting talked about jobs. it talked about the medicare reform plan in the paul ryan plan. they even talked about e.p.a. regulations that the republicans are bucking against. the notion about the need to raise the debt limit is not part of the debate because the president at the top of the meeting said "listen, we can't play games with this so i'm not going to debate this with you here today." >> lehrer: is there, in fact, agrept about that? about the immediate to raise the debt limit? however you do it? >> certainly there are a bunch of tea party

so with that i'll hand it over to john mccarthy from i.d.c. >> hi, thank you very much. they just asked me to weigh in a little bit of what's going on in government with cloud computing right now. basically, i'm sure that most of the people on this call have heard of cloud computing and the directions it's taking government, private industry, etc., and a lot of the talk has been on the potential for reducing cost, effort. what i see in cloud services is that it gives government the potential to kind of relieve government i.t. departments of the need to maintain multiple systems. many have traditionally a system in every department, an email system in every department, etc. and while the department needs email, every department doesn't need to maintain their own email server. i expect cloud to grow for solutions such as human resources management, maybe financial transaction process, etc. when you maintain multiple servers, each upgrades, patches, configuration management, etc., moving the kind of systems that are in all agencies lets those i.t. managers in government kin
