joseph mccarthy. in january, 1953, eisenhower was inaugurated as president. with this, he inherited the case of the rosenbergs. -- clemency appeals of the rosenbergs. eisenhower deliberated a few weeks and ultimately decided to deny clemency. the rosenbergs were tried and convicted in the truman administration, the heavy responsibility of deciding their fate fell to president eisenhower. eisenhower's vice president, richard nixon, was privy to some of eisenhower's decision-making regarding the rosenbergs. when interviewed in 1983, nixon commented first eisenhower was influenced by personal experience in world war ii where he held military intelligence in regard. given his view on intelligence and the nature of crimes committed by the rosenbergs, it is doubtful eisenhower would grant clemency. according to nixon. furthermore, if the rosenbergs received full justice -- , therefore eisenhower declined to intervene. as nixon reflected on the events that spanned from 1953 to 1983, he said no one in the adm

the mccarthy outfit had nothing to do with it. they were discovered by the organization i set up for the purpose. the communism however, is a real threat. we are likely to be bothered with it for a long time, but there is no danger of communism upsetting this government from within. our enemies are the kindest in russia. russia.ommunists in the best thing we can do is to educate our children. >> in practice though, as truman admitted in his memoirs, the board was less than ideal, the loyalty board he set up was less than ideal, because all the data about the person remained in his file, even after he was cleared, meaning that he would have to be cleared over and over again as he changed jobs in the federal government. so damage was done. in addition to the loyalty board, truman established the central intelligence agency through the national security act. a landmark law. it was meant to be an intelligence gathering soon gotion but it involved in covert activities through documents like the nsc10-5, issued in october 1951. this mem

so why the mccarthy era washington? >> i started in the 1700s so i tried many, many times but i cannot write for john adams. and it is also naÏve. and that brought things home for me because then i could talk about washington as the modern era it would be weird. with american popular culture and it was horribly racist and beyond that with the red scare and segregation to be ruled unconstitutionall so if you write about the 50s but at popularity and challenging eisenhower but then censured by the senate and then mccarthy parallels to the current history that we are there. and to say history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. [laughter] so then a play up a little bit of that when wright teeing the book but then the parallels are just there. >> i did not know what the hellfire club - was. so the hellfire club was an actual secret society in england in the 1700s on an estate outside of london with the most powerful man in london with politicians and business people i should say businessmen. it was it people and they would

another of mccarthy's victims was another foreign service officer. jon stewart's has been connected years earlier with the magazine case which involved the fbi's arrest. mr. service underwent a series of an -- investigations by the department all of which announced him to be a loyal government employee. accusations from mccarthy incited another hearing before the review board in 1951. that concluded that they had reasonable doubt concerning his loyalty and he was subsequently discharged in 1951. he was reinstated as a foreign service officer as a result of the us supreme court decision. the truman supreme court, also known as the fred vincent supreme court, was mostly sympathetic to efforts made by the us women to fight alleged communist invasion regardless of civil liberties concerns. the 1951 case dennis versus the us, the supreme court held up the smith act of 1940 which had made advocating revolution a crime. this decision resulted in the conviction of 11 top communists. they were convicted for advocating the violent overthrow of the united state

that's why i say it's not only one -- >> president mccarthy: there is a lot of moving factors. i get it. >> that end, you're right, staging and city in downtown is hard, but we have 8,000 units at treasure island. you know, we have a lot of units being built in places that for lack of a better term are basically the suburbs in terms of open land. so i think it would be pertinent for the department to educate itself. >> definitely, we want to -- >> president mccarthy: we're drafting -- this is just me getting in the weeds, we're drafting cranes down to get it. i believe we can get the product downtown with the proper -- with the proper planning. and we asked that question and you know, san francisco, they don't see it as a difficult place. they design around us. so i think as we get more educated, more of these issues will be dealt with. obstacles, the conversations and the objections i hear about modular slowly but surely have been chipped away. >> i would like to suggest that the director add a column on the summary. on the summary that he gives to us, maybe just list the numb

i'm back with kevin mccarthy.esponse to the anonymous op ed and who did write that op ed? >> whoever wrote it is a coward. if you thought someone would hide behind media and create a constitutional crisis it's possessen today that it is. this is unbelievable this is allowed to go forward i don't know who did it and it's interesting. the president just had an in you jobs report with more rages going up. he's about to have another supreme justice confirmed. they bring a new book out week by week. the new york times allowed someone to claim things that are not true, that's concerning about where the country is going. >> the president said he suspects it's from national security. how can we continue with these deep is that it actors under his nose in the white house or government. >> you can't. it's whore is in the office. we have a reresponse abilit -- responsibility to uphold. they believe they are smarter than the voters. they openly worked with media and worked against the president and administration. he's workin

. >> kevin mccarthy began his career in the california state assembly and was elected to congress inhe was appointed house majority whip and since 2014, he served as the house majority leader. with paul ryan retiring, it's mccarthy who supposed to be leading the effort to keep the house in republican hands and stop the return of nancy pelosi and the impeachment of president trump that will surely follow. have you noticed kevin mccarthy's strong persuasive campaign inspiring voters about what it renewed gop majority would deliver and making clear the consequences of the democrats? neither have i. perhaps he's too busy raising money. he's had plenty of practice. in 2011 to 2014, he was a member of the house financial services committee and he's got the swampy donations to prove it. over $50000 from goldman sachs and 41000 from scandalous wells fargo. all told, in just two years, while he was on the committee, regulating wall street, kevin mccarthy brought in $494,000 in donations from wall street. talk about conflict owners, it's not just the donors themselves who paper the outcomes th

andng seen eugene mccarthy that senator mccarthy felt about needing to take the issue of the war in vietnam to the american people, i see a strong connection between how paul was motivated and senator mccarthy, which resonated with me so much as a 22-year-old, so i respected it. i understood what it meant for us as a family. i think we all knew it was a long shot. on the other hand, we had been through so many elections that were deemed to be longshots, and bethe end paul would successful, so i never underestimated my husband's ability to win an election, but it was not meant to be. it changed the trajectory of the election in 1992. steve: he was very public in his battle with cancer, both when he was diagnosed in 1985, and also when it came back in the mid-1990's. why? rep. tsongas: when you are a public official, you can't hide these things. he felt initially that the voters of massachusetts needed to know why he had made the decision to leave the senate. position, andon in one he was able to do good things, but he realized he didn't know how much time he had that when henew was first ele

so he was the one who suggested eugene mccarthy. who gave the best speech at that convention.so my question deals with the convention itself. humphrey and the stevenson people allegedly the johnson people i have a hunch that johnson may have been vying for the vice presidency all along. he entered the race one week before the convention as you point out in the book. that johnson was a master of parliamentary procedure and there was an effort to adjourn the convention after the stevenson people packed the galleries. they wanted to postpone the vote until the following evening that key vote was on wednesday but clarence cannon a parliamentarian at the convention first ruled that governor loveless and iowa lung - - in iowa had to be favorite. >> so what is the question crack. >> do you think the kennedy people controlled the convention in 1960 crack. >> i don't know if they controlled it but they had hell of a lot of influence with their people at work. it is one heck of a battle to get the nomination but he knew that because of the stevenson people and roosevelt people but they

i think many times the press helps donald trump -- helps mccarthy. that's right.kes it easier for donald trump to make the arguments stick and in terms of irresponsibly engaging and i don't think you can exonerate trump. >> it's only up to a certain point where the press helped mccarthy and is now helping trump. there is a point at which the heart and soul of the press in a free society comes into play and i think there are many illustrations right now of the press taking a role and fighting back. for 60 years as a reporter i was quite happy to cover the news and go home and not intrude my opinion into it at all, but i've changed my mind now, and i think that because trump is essentially taking steps that undermine my democracy. in my view, when he demeans the press and cuts into the press and humiliates the press he is doing that to the essence of our democracy and it has to be changed. >> eliana, this is a case of if you are standing up for the democracy, is that bias? >> i think i have a bit more faith in sort of the durability of american democracy and the con
