00:11It is the communist war against the free man.
00:15One communist on the faculty.
00:17Of one university is one communist too many.
00:25It's good to meet you.
00:27My name's Joe McCarthy.
00:28I'm running for Senate.
00:29Well, I've never been much of one for politics myself.
00:33Funny, neither have I.
00:34He was the most powerful person in American public life.
00:40How do you define McCarthyism, sir?
00:43Frankly, McCarthyism means calling a man a communist who is later proven to be one.
01:04A farm boy learns early in life that the smelliest jobs are the ones that the nice little boys don't
01:11do.
01:11He was a very talented political figure.
01:15He had a gift for winning, and he had enormous energy.
01:18He was really just a charming, gregarious, outgoing Irishman who loved a good time, loved a good story, and loved
01:27a good dream.
01:27He was more popular than he should be, and it's very hard from this distance to understand why.
01:34I mean, he was a little jerk.
01:37Are you a member of the Communist Party as of today?
01:39Are you a member of the Communist conspiracy as of this moment?
01:43I think he was nothing but a simple careerist and opportunist.
01:48Oh, yes, basically everything you've ever heard about McCarthy, you just have to hit the delete button on.
01:53If he was half as bad as they claim he is, I'd have never worked for the guy.
01:58Has anyone asked any of these commies about decency?
02:01You're too right, Joe.
02:09The CIA as an institution came to abhor McCarthy because he accused the CIA of being subversive, which was insane.
02:17Any employee of CIA giving information to Joseph McCarthy, anything at all, will be let go immediately.
02:24The Army McCarthy hearings were what finally broke Joe McCarthy.
02:37Joe, what about us?
02:41Doesn't that make you happy?
02:45Well, you can say that's the fate of populace.
02:48They live by populace and they die by populace.
