by mccarthy era washington? >> i started writing it ended to place in the 1700 that's really tough to pull off. so i tried many, many times, but i just couldn't rate for john adams. and then i said in the modern era, but charlie, his character is a really good and decent person, but it's also kind of naÏve. it just wasn't believable and 2015, 2016. so then 1954, which actually brought a lot of things home because then i could write about washington and really plunge into the world doesn't is back then as opposed to if i wrote it in a modern era and it would just be weird. and then, the 1950s with such a curious time in american popular culture. it's idea like answer rain, but it wasn't honestly at all that way. first of all, it was a horribly racist and sexist. but ancient history, but beyond that, was full of mccarthyism, and segregation was about school segregation was about to be ruled on comp to chanel. it was a time ofur real people beneath a serving surface. it would fit well with the plot i wanted to do.

tom: it is interesting because they refer to the washington post as the washington come post. jeff is not on their favorites list either. partly one could think maybe it is just for the exposure. partly out of curiosity. they were surprisingly open with me. i was up there more than other reporters. but that blessing ceremony, which attracted the media attention, they were very good. there were very few restrictions. what restrictions there were restrictions. se don't walk down into the well of the church while the ceremony was going on. they were more open than i expected. i was also somewhat surprised. we caught more flak on this story from people who are opponents of the unification church and reverend moon, feeling we didn't go hard enough on sean moon. that sean urprised felt it was very fair and very balanced. brian: those that want to read it from the may 27th magazine of the washington post, which is a sunday. they can read it online, i assume? tom: it still lives online. our goal was to do a more nuance the approach. we were not out to do a cart tonightish piece on the

charles lane's opinion writer for "the washington post," and tom rogan, commentary writer for the "washington examiner." the tension is building. everybody in washington seems to have a guess as to who might be appointed. charlie, i want to play some sound from a campaign trail. this is the president when he was still a candidate. >> i am pro-life and i will be appointing pro-life judges. i would think that would go back to the individual states. if we put another two or perhaps three justices on, that's really what's going -- that will happen. it will happen automatically in my opinion because i am putting pro-life justices on the court. i will say this. it will go back to the states commend the states will then make a determination. >> despite those promises from the campaign trail, democrats and some republicans like susan collins and warned him not to make an overtly pro-life choice. isn't there some irony there? >> yeah, but it certainly is. first thing. obviously this is the parlor game washington loves the most. one of the things donald trump doesn't get credit for is the of this. i th

cigar den, and back then you could smoke in bars in washington. so they redid wit the wing backed chairs and the dark burgundy walls, and somebody had the brainstorm they wanted to do cartoons for art. the original genesis was on the walls with some artwork. we made an arrangement with the hotel to loan them a bunch of classic caricatures of the collection. since then, i got involved in 2008, thanks to my buddy richard thompson, when they wanted to update the caricatures to stuff that was more current. the collection mostly went back to the '60s, '70s, and '80s. and then there was a big gap. the thing that happened in the bar, people would come in and the newer clients didn't recognize the people from the nixon and reagan administrations. so they wanted people from the clinton and obama administrations. so that's when richard thompson who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago was brought in. and richard was just an astounding caricature. he was the top -- caricaturists at the time. so e came in with some drawist and i got some of those.
