mcclintock also got the assistance of the secretary of state. the number three in the state department it was sent out by eisenhower with instructions to tell mcclintock to get on the program the program was to support shimon. he got on the ground and said i'm not stupid i will support the ambassadors effort to diffuse the conflict and together the secretary of state robert murphy and robert mcclintock began engaging with the various lebanese powers and this is a not particularly good picture of them. and what they agreed is that shimon would be removed from office and general shahada would be the next president.si this is what he wanted from the beginning so in effect the american intervention in lebanon in 1958 became the instrument to accomplish at egypt had wanted all along which was getting rid of shimon they ended up that this was the smart way out of the crisis one g.i. was killed as i said in the intervention by sniper fire. but by october 25, 1958 the last american troops in the intervention had gone homehe the civil war was over. it's

joining me right now is california republican congressman, tom mcclintock. good to have you here. it's a double standard. he said one thing then and another thing now? >> a couple things. in all my years i learned wet other side is calling you names you know you are winning the argument and you know they know you are winning the argument. this business of the acquittal won't matter. in a sense they are right. in order to have an acquittal you have to have a crime. the house has charged the president with no crime. that's the first question the senate has to answer. the constitution is very specific. treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. they haven't done that they made up two charges, abuse of power and obstruction of congress, neither of which is a crime. object trucks of congress means he was asserting his constitutional prerogatives that have been asserted by every president since george washington. the executive privilege assures the president has candid advice and is able to talk candidly. and abuse of congress, that's the 18th century term, maladministrati

mcclintock, for five minutes. mr. speaker, lost amidst of tunnel of the last several weeks was the quiet passing of an outspoken leader of california. h.l. "bill" richardson. h.l., as he was known to his friends, arrived in the california state senate with the freshman class of 1966, part of the reagan landslide that year. for every one of the 22 years he served in the senate, h.l. was a force to be reckoned with. he served for many years in the republican leadership but he was never, ever a political insider. his enormous influence inside the senate stemmed from the fact that he never joined that club, he never lost sight of the people who elected him, and he not only worked tirelessly to serve them inside the capitol he worked even harder to organize, inform, and mobilize them outside the capitol. he founded a multitude of advocacy groups to empower the millions of californians who believed in individual liberty and economic freedom. he started the free market political action committee to support free market princi

joining me, california congressman tom mcclintock. they talk about hate coming out of the right. i look at the right, the violence, it's coming from the left. you know what the problem is? no one is reporting on it over at cnn or msnbc. a woman was recently egged because she was a trump supporter. a 15-year-old getting snacked in the -- smacked in the face for wearing a maga hat. and somebody driving into a tent of trump supporters. >> we need to be clear on this. there is a lunatic fringe on all sides of these questions and some of it is violent. the difference i see on the left is that it's not being universally condemned. you have a number of people in academics and table commentary who are actually defending and encouraging it. that assures you you will have more of it. trish: is trump driving them that crazy? how do you get to the point -- you are park holder. you had a pretty good career for yourself. and you are talking the way he talks and encouraging when they go low, we kick them. that kind of rhetoric. where does that come from? >> there is a difference between rhetori

bring in republican tom mcclintock from house judiciary? your reaction to this. adam schiff says he will hold the senate accountable. he will not not let the senate off the hook. >> i think this reflects badly on adam schiff and the democrats. what we say the senators stand by the constitution. the constitution said in order to nullify a national presidential election you have to charge treason, bribery, high crimes or misdemeanors. the house did absolutely nothing about that. they made up two crimes. one is abuse of power. the democrats don't like the way the president lawfully discharged his duties. the other is obstruction of congress. he stood up for prerogatives of the presidency as coequal branch of government. those are not impeachable, they are, he was doing his job by enforcing the laws and seeking cooperation of a government in, an investigation involving corrupt dealings between american and ukrainian officials. just because one of those american officials happened to be the vice president, that does not shield him from scrutiny. just ask candidate tru

there is a wonderful book, i forget the author, about barbara mcclintock, i believe that was her name who was a nobel prize-winning biologist and the book is called a sense for the organism. she worked on corn and in this kind of womanly way, she would watch the little corn plantsy growing. and made great biology out of o that. and i could give you example of female historians who see into human lives and what we can say, and a less mechanical earth theoretical way than men do. there is a very good play about rosen franklin, the co- discover of dna who died of cancer before she could get the nobel prize. and there is a a debate between her and james watson, on the role of theory versus observation. and it's notorious in many fields that women want to look atom things and men want to talk aboutta them. >> host: before we go any further, we want to make sure to show the cover of the book you reference a little while ago. forever flowing. and that's the one you are currently reading. >> caller: it's a very good novel, read it. and then come back and tell me that you think socialism is a
