right there There you go mccarthy pal All right he
- 00:21
was questioned The previous image best serves as an example
- 00:25
of which of the following and here a potential answers
- 00:31
There Okay but let's first take a moment to appreciate
- 00:34
how great a mean this image would be We'd call
- 00:37
it annoying lecturing guy Just look how miserable and fed
- 00:42
up dude on the left looks okay Okay So maybe
- 00:45
mccarthy wasn't boring the pants off Everyone in the room
- 00:48
What was he actually going on and on about Was
- 00:51
this the beginnings of the development of the hydrogen bomb
- 00:54
Well no way This photo was taken in nineteen Fifty
- 00:56
for well after initial developments of the h bomb began
- 01:00
it was our pal joey attempting to grow the debate
- 01:02
about america's national energy policy No no dice This was
- 01:05
brought on by the emergence of the oil crisis in
- 01:08
the middle east Not some paranoid senator in washington Besides
- 01:12
mccarthy was way too busy worrying about communism to even
- 01:14
think about that whole energy for the entire country bit
- 01:18
So was it a rbi Well one more look at
- 01:20
the image and the answer becomes clear Does this image
- 01:23
really look like it's depicting someone presenting a fair and
- 01:27
balanced discussion on the two sides of an issue Or
- 01:30
does it look like someone holding an interrogation meeting came
- 01:33
To instill fear in the masses by suggesting there were
- 01:37
communists everywhere that needed to be exposed Okay well maybe
- 01:40
our phrasing was a bit of the spoiler there While
- 01:43
the entire country seemed in favor of containing communism To
- 01:45
some degree americans were still divided as to whether it
- 01:48
was necessary to take extreme measures to root out communists
- 01:51
in hiding Mccarthy here was at the helm of the
- 01:54
extreme faction Holding interrogation is like the one seen here
- 01:59
though judging by the grossed out look on the face
- 02:01
of the woman in the back there Well maybe mccarthy 00:02:03.492 --> [endTime] was dropping some bombs of his own Yeah
