Podcasts about McCarthy

One week before Vikings training camp, Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano discuss major team narratives while noting the show's move to the Bleav Podcast Network and new graphics. Forness argues J.J. McCarthy's strong finish should be called four games, not five, since he didn't play Detroit and the Green Bay game was poor. They push back on labeling Kyler Murray “injury-prone,” citing three major injuries over seven years, and discuss how 2026 outcomes could shape longer-term QB plans. Forness defends the offensive line as roughly average despite 60 sacks, noting heavy backup snaps and that many sacks were quarterback-attributed. They examine turnover luck swings affecting the record, contend the run defense was about average while the pass defense improved greatly, and preview limited early rookie impacts. Finally, Forness says Kevin O'Connell has proven a “veteran QB whisperer,” with young-QB development still unproven, and reiterates an analyst-first, data-driven approach.

July 20, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 165 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get things started by first going over the recent news of former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell being arrested for his alleged failure to pay child support. After quickly discussing the Bell recent news, Alex and I look back at Bell's NFL career and go over the big 'what ifs' related to him had he remained in Pittsburgh several more seasons. We discuss whether Bell will ever be voted into the Steelers' Hall of Honor and where he might currently rank on Pittsburgh's all-time rushing list had he played several more seasons for the team. With the Steelers' 2026 training camp set to get underway in just a little more than one week, Alex and I go over what it might look like this summer with new HC Mike McCarthy. Alex recently interviewed several people who covered McCarthy during his time with Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys to get their feedback on past training camps the head coach conducted over the years and we go over his findings. After thoroughly discussing the latest topical subjects and news concerning the Steelers, in addition to previewing McCarthys first training camp in Latrobe, the two of us talk in-depth about six more players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series. The six players we discuss are: QB Mason Rudolph, CB Asante Samuel Jr., S Darnell Savage, OLB Jack Sawyer, WR Ben Skowronek, and CB Doneiko Slaughter. We give the summer outlook for each player and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends. This 91-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this podcast by answering a few questions we received via email from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On The Real Forno Show, Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano discuss what J.J. McCarthy must do in a high-stakes training camp competition with Kyler Murray to win the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback job. The conversation is framed as a “win-now” 2026-focused decision under head coach Kevin O'Connell. Forness outlines that McCarthy must improve his efficiency and cut his high turnover-worthy play rate while sustaining his big-time throw ability. He also needs to fix and consistently repeat cleaner mechanics (including controlling lower-body issues like his “leg whip”), become a faster and more consistent processor who throws on time, and attack the middle of the field. McCarthy must prove his late-season gains translate against better defenses, tighten his accuracy and ball placement (especially with Justin Jefferson), and dominate joint practices against the Ravens — which Forness views as a key final evaluation point before a starter is named.

In the summer of 1982, it became obvious that a serial killer was operating in the Tacoma area and dumping his victims in the waters of the Green River. In time, The Green River Killer, as the press soon dubbed him, would claim a staggering number of victims to become the most prolific serial killer in American history, a title he would hold until relatively recently.

Why does one woman feel incredible on hormone replacement therapy while another gains weight, feels anxious, or sees no improvement at all? The answer isn't simply the hormone—it's how your body processes it. In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains why the route of hormone delivery (oral, topical, injectable, or pellets) dramatically changes how hormones behave in the body. He also breaks down the role of liver metabolism, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), body fat, inflammation, insulin resistance, and lab timing—and why these factors matter when creating an individualized hormone treatment plan. You'll learn: Why the same hormone can produce completely different results in different women How oral, topical, injectable, and pellet hormones affect your body differently Why "normal" lab results don't always mean your hormones are optimized The importance of free testosterone vs. total testosterone How inflammation, body fat, and liver function influence hormone metabolism Four questions every woman should ask her hormone provider Why hormone therapy requires ongoing monitoring—not just a prescription Hormone replacement therapy is never just about writing a prescription. It's about understanding what your body does with it.

US-Präsident Trump hat ein neues Lieblingsthema: Seit etwa drei Wochen warnt er bei jeder Gelegenheit vor dem Kommunismus. Eine Agentur hat mitgezählt und kam auf über 80-mal. Offenbar versucht der Präsident, das alte Feindbild aus dem Kalten Krieg zu reaktivieren. Das gemahnt an die McCarthy-Ära Anfang der 1950er-Jahre. Gleichzeitig feiern linke Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten bei den demokratischen Vorwahlen Erfolge. Der progressive Flügel bedrängt das Parteiestablishment. Aushängeschild der Demokratischen Sozialisten, wie sich die jungen Linken bezeichnen,ist Zohran Mamdani, der Bürgermeister von New York City. Mamdani unterstützte etwa Darializa Avila Chevalier. Sie besiegte in New York einen Amtsinhaber und dürfte am 3. November ins Repräsentantenhaus einziehen. Chevalier fordert einen höheren Mindestlohn, mehr soziale Gerechtigkeit, setzt sich für Migrantinnen und Migranten ein – und kritisiert Israels Vorgehen in Gaza, was die Demokraten seit Längerem spaltet. Für Trump ist Chevalier eine Kommunistin..  Wie reagiert das Establishment der demokratischen Partei auf die drohende Spaltung der Partei? Weshalb sind junge Demokraten wie Darializa Avila Chevalier derzeit so erfolgreich? Verfängt Trumps antikommunistische  Rhetorik mit Blick auf die Zwischenwahlen? Und weshalb blickt der US-Präsident entspannt auf 2028? Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, mit Charlotte Walser in einer neuen Folge von «Alles klar, Amerika?». Walser ist USA-Korrespondentin mit Sitz in Washington, D.C.

Jobe Morrison and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss how Mike McCarthy will blend what Brian Angelichio brings to the table into what his offense has historically been. Will we see a heavy usage of 12 and 13 personnel or a bunch of 11, as we've primarily seen from McCarthy. Is there anything we are waiting on from a roster construction standpoint to still happen this summer? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

Two weeks before Vikings training camp, Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano host a fan-focused episode of The Real Forno Show. — Tyler and Dave discuss why Brian Flores has played few rookies, citing Kevin Seifert's ESPN analysis. They argue it's driven by roster context, limited top-100 defensive draft capital, and system complexity rather than a blanket refusal to play rookies. Tyler projects 2026 snap/starting expectations for the defensive rookie class (including Caleb Banks, Jake Golday, Domonique Orange, Jakobe Thomas, and Charles Demmings) and debates Pro Bowl likelihood for T.J. Hockenson vs. Donovan Jackson. Guest Rap says this draft feels more intentional, trusts Flores, wants more commitment to the run, and expects Kyler Murray to win QB1 while acknowledging J.J. McCarthy's long-term potential. Guest Norsepheus prefers a homegrown QB, critiques O'Connell's development track record, and questions Murray's fit with play-action and under-center usage (which Tyler says he's still researching).

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWLindsey Graham's sudden death should have been a moment for reflection. Instead, it became something else almost immediately. Kash Patel and the FBI got involved.Before the facts had a chance to catch up, the speculation took off at full speed.In today's America, that's becoming the rule instead of the exception.Then came language that should sound familiar to anyone who's paid attention to history. The words may be different. The technology may be different. But the political playbook? That hasn't changed nearly as much as we'd like to believe.What happens when fear becomes a campaign strategy? When political opponents stop being opponents and start being portrayed as enemies hiding in plain sight? America has traveled down this road before, and the similarities are difficult to ignore.I'll explain why I believe Donald Trump is dusting off one of the oldest political playbooks in American history. Trump's calling people “communists”. That's why the phrase “Red Scare” matters far more than most people realize, and why history has a habit of returning with a fresh coat of paint.I'll also take a hard look at another story that's receiving far less attention than it deserves: America's growing missile shortage. As tensions with Iran continue, are we quietly burning through military stockpiles faster than we can replace them? It's a question that could have consequences far beyond the current conflict.This is Episode 251 of A World Gone Mad—where history matters, common sense is trying to have a seat at the table, and asking uncomfortable questions is always welcome.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

In the summer of 1982, it became obvious that a serial killer was operating in the Tacoma area and dumping his victims in the waters of the Green River. In time, The Green River Killer, as the press soon dubbed him, would claim a staggering number of victims to become the most prolific serial killer in American history, a title he would hold until relatively recently.

I participated in another Socratic Debate about the Future of "AI" and XR at Augmented World Expo 2026 with Leslie Shannon, Alvin Graylin, and Louis Rosenberg (you can listen to last year's debate in episode #1611). Shannon and Graylin argued for "AI," whilst Rosenberg and I argued against "AI." In my write-up, I wanted to leave some breadcrumbs to more in-depth, skeptical arguments against "AI" that we didn't have space or time to dig into during the debate, but "some breadcrumbs" ended up being over 30k words, and more like an outline for an entire book. Writing a book isn't on my to-do list at the moment, but disseminating the work researchers, journalists, linguists, and critics of "AI" have done is urgent and necessary, so I'm sharing the results of this deep dive here, in bullet list format. My fellow panelists, Alvin Graylin and Louis Rosenberg, indulged me in extending our debate offline after AWE, pushing me to test my ideas further and demonstrating how and why this is an extremely active field of study with polarizing points of view that often come down to philosophical differences. Clearly, it's just getting started. My objections to "AI" is loosely organized by various themes, but some framing may be helpful in approaching it. My objections to "AI" center around the limitations of LLMs, the consolidation of wealth and power from Hyperscaler companies, and threats from automated decision making systems and surveillance capitalism melded with democratically-backsliding authoritarian governments. I'm including a broad range of critiques spanning the domains of philosophy, technology, sociology, politics, economics, culture, and ethics. I'm coming from the orientation of Process Philosophy & Peircean Semiotics that emphasizes the relational and contextual dimensions that the "AI" field tends to de-emphasize or completely collapse. I see process-relational philosophy as a necessary paradigm shift away from the underpinning philosophies of the "AI" community, which tend to be Functionalism, Naturalism, Computational Theory of Mind, Physicalism, & the TESCREAL bundle. Below you'll find my own process philosophical emergency response to "AI embedded within my curation of excerpts and commentary of primary sources that I'm leaning upon. The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want (2025) by Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna (also see episode #1563). Bender & Hanna say, "To put it bluntly, 'AI' is a marketing term. It doesn't refer to a coherent set of technologies. Instead, the phrase "artificial intelligence" is deployed when the people building or selling a particular set of technologies will profit from getting others to believe that their technology is similar to humans, able to do things that, in fact, intrinsically require human judgment, perception, or creativity." Emily M. Bender wrote the "Artificial Intelligence" [preprint] (2026, June 25) entry for the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Science, Technology, and Society. Bender's concluding paragraph gives a great overview of the seven different ways that the idea of "artificial intelligence" operates in the world. She says, "The notion of artificial intelligence is frequently sold as present or near-future and inevitable technology. In fact there is no coherent set of technologies that can serve as the denotation of the phrase, nor do any of the technologies so marketed rise to the fantastical but ill-defined claims of 'AI' is or soon will be. Nonetheless, the idea of artificial intelligence has been extremely impactful in the world. In order to better understand and deal with those impacts, it is helpful to look at artificial intelligence through the varied lenses of how the idea operates in the world: as the name of a research field, as one approach to cognitive science, as a parlor trick, as a an ideology, as a way to hide and devalue human labor, as a way to shift and/or obfuscate accountability, and as a means to centralize power." Inventing Intelligence: On the History of Complex Information Processing and Artificial Intelligence in the United States in the Mid-Twentieth Century [dissertation] (2020, December 14) by Jonnie Penn. Penn says, "The phrase ‘artificial intelligence' was coined by John McCarthy, an American mathematician, in 1955. It has travelled with a noticeably amorphous definition since." "AI" has always had a spotty history of technologists using a "brain is a computer" metaphor while also using "poor citation practices." From page 14, Penn says, "The vocabulary Simon, Rosenblatt, McCarthy and Minsky chose to describe new techniques in major newspapers and scholarly journals informed Americans' still plastic understandings of what was possible, and indeed desirable, in the emerging information age… During the mid to late 1950s, these men turned to clannishness, self-aggrandizement, speculative rhetoric, fluid definitions of key terms and poor citation practices to shore up legitimacy for their controversial new techniques — actions that drew attention toward questions of how to accomplish such aims and away from whether they were well founded." Part II: Remembering the Human Microcosm in the Age of Mechanized Intelligence: Philosophy as Emergency Response (2026, June 9) by Matt Segall. In a multi-part Substack series, process philosopher Matt Segall calls for a philosophical emergency response to "AI." He says, "In each case a new media technology intended to expand the power of thought ended up transforming the very nature of the thinker who invented it. Each new medium furnishes the very terms in which we come to understand ourselves. This is why the philosophical response is always an emergency response: by the time anyone has noticed what is happening, what may be lost and what gained, the mutation has already done half of its work." Segall warns about the computational metaphor of the mind by saying, "The large language model now tempts us to adopt an even stranger self-image: that human minds are no different than machines, our thoughts just the statistical echoes of our training data. The creators of this latest technological upgrade are encouraging us to downgrade our estimate of human consciousness, thus narrowing the distance between ourselves and the machines built to imitate us." "Resisting Dehumanization in the Age of 'AI': The View from the Humanities" [lecture] (2026, February 10) by Emily M. Bender. Here are the lecture slides with a bibliography at the end. Bender does an amazing overview of how the marketing of "AI" uses pernicious dehumanization tactics built on an underlying "brain is a computer metaphor." From page 15 of her talk: "Scientific metaphor used and debated in neuroscience: "THE BRAIN IS A COMPUTER. "PR metaphor used by technologists: "THE COMPUTER IS A BRAIN" Bender cites Baria & Cross' paper titled "The brain is a computer is a brain: neuroscience's internal debate and the social significance of the Computational Metaphor (2021), which says “the Computational Metaphor rests on other well-ingrained ideologies in which a hierarchy of human value is tied to a particular notion of intelligence such that the quality of being emotional is considered inferior to being rational." Bender also cites Dijkstra's 1985 lecture "On anthropomorphism in science": "A more serious byproduct of the tendency to talk about machines in anthropomorphic terms is the companion phenomenon of talking about people in mechanistic terminology." Here are a couple of examples of how "AI" Hyperscaler companies like OpenAI use dehumanizing tactics to sell us on "AI" Hype. Sam Altman will say things like, "A kid born today will never be smarter than AI. Ever." Or another example is when Altman says, "For me, AGI is basically the equivalent of a median human that you could hire as a co-worker... And then Superintelligence is when it's smarter than all of humanity put together." These statements collapse the human experience into one dimension of "intelligence," which amplifies the dual harm of treating machines more like humans and treating humans more like machines. It is also questionable the degree to which this statement is even true given the potential non-computational aspects of "relevance realization." More on this down below. Part IV: Remembering the Human Microcosm in the Age of Mechanized Intelligence: Hegel's Loom and the Difference Reason Makes (2026, June 10) by Matt Segall. Segall brilliantly breaks down the "Brain is a Computer Metaphor" by saying, "Metaphor is not just a shiny paint job on the vehicle of cognition. It is the engine of thought. Its coupling of concepts drives the limits of conceivability, shaping what is thought together and what is not thought at all. The metaphorical imagination is our main means of tuning in to the otherwise invisible effects of new media technologies. Part of the discipline philosophy brings is allowing us to notice an analogy as an analogy before advertising crystalizes it into the unnoticed transparency of common sense. A fact is a fact, but it might also be a fossilized metaphor. The governing analogy of our age is that cognition is computation: the brain an information-processing device, perception its input and behavior its output, memory a form of physical storage, learning the adjustment of weights, and intelligence an algorithm for minimizing error or surprisal. On this view, given enough training data and computational power, consciousness itself will eventually be engineered… The metaphor “the mind is a computer,” for example, tacitly proposes that mind is to brain as software is to hardware… Reiterated in textbooks and earnings calls, in grant applications and policy briefs, the partial comparison congeals into an ontology, until we find ourselves insisting not that the mind is like a computer in some respects but that it simply is one — and,...

PRL 7-13-26 Justin Hardy, Mack McCarthy, Jacob Jenkins-Cowart, Ethan Norby by Pirate Radio

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 10, 2026. We open with a Senate map conversation nobody on the left wants to have — Democrats need to win every single toss-up race in November to take control of the chamber, while Republicans need only one. We walk through the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball projections, the four toss-up races that will decide everything — Alaska, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina — and why Republican overconfidence is still premature even with the structural advantage. We also explain why Graham Plattner's implosion in Maine may not be the gift Republicans assumed it was, why Roy Cooper is very likely to pick up North Carolina, and why Ken Paxton is making a race in Texas far closer than it has any business being. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump refused to sign the bipartisan housing bill — saying he won't put pen to paper until Congress passes the SAVE Act — but the bill will become law without his signature anyway, and House Republicans plan to celebrate its passage regardless. Then Trump fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, citing the Seila Law decision as precedent and issuing a statement that the president reserves the right to remove individuals not fully aligned with the task of securing America's elections. And eight men from across the country — Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri, Washington, California, and West Virginia — have been indicted for plotting a drone and sniper attack on the UFC fight at the White House lawn, with all eight now arrested and facing life in prison. We also cover Joy Behar warning that President Trump is practically destroying democracy — and we note that the one place in America where a democratic election result was genuinely made null and void was the 2024 Democratic presidential primary, where Kamala Harris never won a single vote outside the convention floor. The Democrat Party is the party of projection. Whatever they accuse you of doing, they have already done. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer a listener question about Type 1 and Type 2 fun — and the conversation becomes a beautiful tribute to feral childhood. Type 1 fun is a roller coaster — thrilling in the moment, forgotten by morning. Type 2 fun is hiking in sleet, throwing rocks at alligators on the bayou, going off into the woods alone for hours while your parents had absolutely no idea where you were. The kind of fun that shapes you, scares you, and becomes the story you're still telling at 50. Teri and Kimberly worry that today's children — tracked by phones, sheltered from consequence, raised on Dateline — are growing up on Type 1 fun and missing the Type 2 experiences that built the people they became. We dig deep into California's 2022 decision to decriminalize loitering with intent to commit prostitution — signed by Governor Newsom on the grounds that 56% of those arrested were Black women, making it, in his telling, a racist law. The results, documented by City Journal and investigative journalist Abigail Schreier, are exactly what common sense predicted. Prostitution spiked immediately. Human trafficking followed. LAPD officers at the 77th Street Station rescued 123 children in 2024 — nearly eight times the number rescued in 2022, the year before the law took effect. Police now report seeing 14-year-old girls in G-strings on Los Angeles streets and having no legal authority to intervene. We make the case plainly: the left is not trying to reduce crime. It is trying to reduce the number of people arrested for crime. Those are not the same thing — and the difference is being paid for by the most vulnerable people on the streets. We also revisit a 1950 speech by Joseph McCarthy — and note that whatever his excesses, his core distinction holds up: there have always been two kinds of Democrats, the millions of loyal Americans who vote the ticket and want safe neighborhoods and stable jobs, and a small activist class that has been dragging the party toward something that looks less like democratic socialism and more like the thing McCarthy was warning about. The question in 2026 is whether that activist class is still the minority. Then it's Fake News Friday — including a California HOA fining residents for flying the American flag, activists pushing schools to teach Black English and girl math, Adam Sandler officiating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, a BB gun attack on a mosque that turned out to be carried out by a Muslim man, Iran threatening to kill President Trump at Khomeini's funeral, a new Broadway musical called Dolly about Dolly Parton, and CNN airing a quote from a fake congressman who runs a parody account. Justin Trudeau is now a backup dancer in a Katy Perry video. Spoilet Alert: that one's real. For our Bright Spot, weekly unemployment claims came in at 215,000 — with the January through July average of 213,000 representing the lowest sustained jobless claim numbers since 1968 and 1969, when the country had a third fewer people and the Vietnam draft was pulling hundreds of thousands of men out of the civilian workforce. We call it what it is — a labor market that is outperforming history in a country that was told it couldn't. And we close with words of wisdom on patriotism — from Calvin Coolidge, Edward Abbey, Adlai Stevenson, and Charles de Gaulle. You've got to love your country enough to tell the truth about it, defend it when it's right, and fight to make it better. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Republican Opposition: The Intellectual Force of Robert Taft and the Rise of McCarthy GUEST: Nick BunkerSenator Robert Taft, known as "Mr. Conservative," was a dominant intellectual force in the Republican Party, preparing for a potential 1952 presidential run. Moving away from pre-war isolationism, Taft became a staunch "Asia first" advocate, pushing for the defense of Taiwan with the U.S. Navy. This stance created a sharp divide with Dean Acheson, who feared being branded an "imperialist power." While Taft provided the intellectual foundation for Republican policy, Joe McCarthy emerged as the "wild side" of this movement. Driven by pure ambition, McCarthy hijacked the Republican agenda by shifting the focus from domestic "socialism" to communist subversion within the State Department. Meanwhile, Dwight D. Eisenhower, then president of Columbia University, watched from the sidelines with despair. He worried about the "chaos and confusion" in Washington, the demoralization of the military due to budget cuts, and the lack of a clear strategy for Asia. (3)

NSC-68: The Blueprint for Cold War Rearmament GUEST: Nick Bunker Following the 1949 Soviet atomic test, Paul Nitze and Dean Acheson drafted NSC-68, a top-secret strategic document that defined the Cold War struggle. The document portrayed the Soviet threat in the "starkest, grimmest possible terms," identifying 1954 as the "year of maximum danger." To counter Soviet military spending — estimated at 15% of their national output — NSC-68 proposed trebling the U.S. defense budget from $13 billion to $40 billion. Simultaneously, McCarthy targeted Owen Lattimore, an Asia expert, as a "master Soviet agent" to undermine the State Department's policy. While Lattimore was eventually cleared, the political pressure forced the administration into an awkward defensive position. Ultimately, the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 "overtook" the measured rollout of NSC-68, leading to the massive military build-up the document envisioned, but in a far more chaotic and urgent manner. (7)

The Hiss Perjury Conviction and the Ignition of the McCarthy Era GUEST: Nick Bunker On January 25, 1950, the conviction of Alger Hiss for perjury electrified American politics, seemingly validating Republican claims that Washington was "full of communist subversives." Seizing the moment, Dean Acheson made a controversial statement of personal loyalty to Hiss, which Joe McCarthy immediately used to launch his crusade. In February, McCarthy famously alleged in Wheeling, West Virginia, that he had a list of 56 card-carrying communists in the State Department. Democratic Majority Leader Scott Lucas failed to stop McCarthy, finding himself outmaneuvered by the Senator's "aggression" and "inventiveness." Lucas made a critical historical error by agreeing to a Senate subcommittee to investigate the allegations, providing McCarthy with a national stage to harry the President during an election year. This platform allowed the scandal to grow publicly, transforming McCarthy from a "wild card" into a powerful national figure who dominated the political scene. (5)

Truman's Rally and the Brave Dissent of Margaret Chase Smith GUEST: Nick Bunker In May 1950, a politically wounded Harry Truman embarked on a western tour to rebuild momentum and refocus the nation on his "Fair Deal." Despite a high-profile Chicago rally featuring stars like Elizabeth Taylor, his approval ratings continued to plummet amid the ongoing coal strike and corruption scandals in cities like New York. Within his own party, the "middle way" was failing to find traction. Amidst this polarization, Senator Margaret Chase Smith delivered her courageous "Declaration of Conscience" speech, calling out the Republican Party for using "fear, ignorance, bigotry, and smear" — her "Four Horsemen." She criticized both McCarthy's tactics and the Truman administration's perceived "bitterness" and lack of leadership. Though she was the first Republican to publicly challenge McCarthy, her message fell on "deaf ears" as the Senator's power grew. Only weeks later, the North Korean sneak attack on June 25 changed the world forever, ending the period of "shadow of fear" and beginning a hot war. (8)1952 STORK CLUB

NFL insider Mike Florio joins Joe Rose to break down some of the biggest storylines heading into the season, including several quarterback battles across the league. Florio discusses the uncertainty in Minnesota between J.J.
