The New Red Scare? Historian on McCarthyism and Parallels to Today

Season 2025 Episode 7192 | 18m 27s

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 was passed amid anti-communist fears during the early Cold War. That period of history is the focus of the new book "Red Scare: Blacklists, McCarthyism, and the Making of Modern America." Author and reporter Clay Risen joins the show to discuss past political hysteria and what it can tell us about the present.
