We been waiting five decades for this because all of the books this one goes back and looks at the cases. The author, no introduction can do it justice, but i have to say a couple things. He wrote a book in 1968 called the future of conservatives and were the fourth defending final chapter was the rise of reagan, two years into his first term as governor, 12 years away from being president. Hes been ahead of the curve for a very long time and continues to be so. He interviewed one of maccarthy suspects indicating as a reporter in the 50s. I got to do a little piece of this. They manage to get one of the files on the part the suspect from fbi and was wheeled out in a shopping cart. These and gentlemen, its hard to forget anybody wheeled in a shopping cart.

Story together for 6 00. Mark has been following this. Theres a bunch of investigation that needs to be conducted. The response really focuses on getting more information before jumping to any conclusions this. Is from general minister balke. And is in the process of gathering the pertinent facts. Before this incident surfaced, kaepernick active on social media. He posted a couple of photos of himself on instagram in miami. He also posted a group shot with some guys including the 49ers paton.

Coming up next on booktv encore booknotes from january 2000. Arthur herman discusses his book Joseph Mccarthy. Professor herman reassesses cart these legacy and argues the senator from wisconsin was justified in arguing there was a real communist threat inside the u. S. Government. This is about an hour. Cspan arthur herman, author of Joseph Mccarthy, why do you think we needed to reexamine the life and legacy of americas mosthated senator . Guest well, there are a couple of reasons. One is that we now know a lot more about the times and the context in which mccarthy had his political career and built his career of notoriety.

And what i wanted to do was to really put it together in a book that would give people a broad introduction, both to the period, but also to joe mccarthy, the man; to understand who he was, why he has the kind of tremendous rereputation and notoriety that he does and to understand where t
Broussard is with us, as well as mike wise, sports columnist from the washington post. You were there last night, chris. Describe the mood among the players and the fans.

And the fans felt it, too, because a lot of them were questionable about whether or not they should go to the game, wheth

It was 240 years ago, we started with a piece of paper. It was a blueprint for a new society, a society unlike anything the world had ever seen before, and in 1776, that blueprint started us on a path that has finally led to the next woman president. It was imperfect but it was aspirational. Now, that blueprint has done wonders for this country in terms of overall prosperity. When i was born in 1930, if my parents had seen what the world would look like in 2016, they wouldnt have believed it. The gdp per capita is six times wha
