What makes a movie good? Great actors. And tonight's movie stars some of the greatest actors to ever grace the American stage. Senator Joseph McCarthy and a friend and mentor to Donald J. Trump, Roy Cohn. Early in 1954, the U.S. Army accused McCarthy and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, of improperly pressuring the army to give favorable treatment to G. David Schine, a former aide to McCarthy and a friend of Cohn's, who was then serving in the army as a private. The Senate took the accusation of a Senator pressuring the Army on behalf of one soldier seriously and held an investigative committee to determine whether or not the Army's accusation against McCarthy was true. McCarthy accused the Army of cooking up charges against him because he was hunting communists in the Army. What followed was a live televised broadcast of probably the best Senate hearing ever put on film. Some of the events of this hearing were released in a movie ten years later, in 1964, called, "Point of Order." It is a very educational and surprisingly very kek-worthy piece of American history. Please take your seats. The show is about to begin.
