even conservative historians will not defend glenn beck. politico was not my idea of the next "new york times." believe me. they had a certain sense that this guy is a fraud and someone has to say that. of course, they didn't do it in their own voice of authority such as it is. they did it in the voice of people like me who were assumed to be authorities about history. it was nevertheless the piece as a whole was i think pretty damning. so, again, maybe this sort of, again, i'm trying to be the anti-nostalgic here, but, you know, i do think the fact that beck went up and went down, perhaps, not unlike mccarthy. mccarthy had much more power. it is a lesson that people do learn through one media or another. >> other questions? yes? >> i thought it was refreshing to hear a conversation about journalism that used words like balance and authority and consensus. but none of you used the "f" word. by that i mean fox news. and talking about a journalism that is agenda driven and distorted and highly partisan. i wonder where that fits in not just in

but we'll defend you, beck. i have your back. and i'm not saying that facetiously.'m basically -- you put yourself out there and i agree with some stuff you say, i disagree with others. but i'm going to defend you. >> i have your back. i'm going to defend you. bill o'reilly sticks up for a colleague who was getting criticized for hosting a rally he says was nonpolitical. listen how o'reilly wrapped up you the interview. >> sharpton is going to reply to you, and that should be interesting. but once again, i want to congratulate you. >> thank you, sir. >> i don't think there's anybody in the country that could have mobilized that many people at this point in time. i don't think there is anybody else, besides pamela anderson. >> i don't -- >> you don't think so? >> no. >> okay. cross her off my list. glenn beck, everybody. check him out at 5:00. >> i want to congratulate you. interesting. that's not the only time glenn beck participated in a rally while working in the media. back in 2007, when he was a cnn host, he joined me as we marched on record companies to call fo

bill beck. we are in washington, d.c., crystal city hilton. it's november 12th, 2005, about 1:15 p.m., and we are here commemorating the reup, the 40th anniversary reunion of the battles in the idrang valley, x rarks alb ray,albany, and falcon. columbus. tell me about those days in novemb november. before you all get in, tell me about tony nadal and the guys around you, your buddies, before you all arrive on sunday. >> all right. well, we all trained at fort bening, georgia. advanced infantry division is what i was doing down there. we went overseas. we were best buddies back in the states. we were close knit in on-kay. we were in country about two months before the ballot of the idrang valley. so we worked together, we played together, we shared things together. we were close. and we were good friends. our sergeants were good friends, good buddies. our officers we respected. our lieutenants, our captains, right up to colonel moore himself. we all knew each other. so we were pretty much a close-knit family. >> was that unusual, do you think, f

beck is not in any party, okay, at all. beck is where he is.nd i'm certainly not in any party and gave you the examples of the republics that are simply don't want to come in and do the joust here. but, i'm so tired of this branding fox news as a republic outfit. i can't tell you. >> let me tell you what i think this is about since her answer didn't make any sense. let me give you an educated guess. i think you, bill o'reilly, have become the poster boy for every liberal complaint about anything on cable tv for a couple of reasons. not because you're corrupt or you are the most biased person. it's because you are the most well-known person. that's the problem. and, of course, because you work for fox. nobody out there is saying cable tv would be so much better if we could only get rid of dillon ratigan people right now are saying who? who did he just say? >> you are well-known, that's the price you pay for being well-known. it is garbage, i grant you that some free advice from a friend, if barack obama attacks you, if the "new york times" attac

we are not really on beck's balcony but what we do, beck. whole bunch of sources and cameras. we have stationary cameras. you may have heard us refer to the tower cam. that is the camera in the station in northwest washington. we can turn it around for various views. >> it's a couple hundred feet up. >> i think it's more than a couple hundred feet. >> a couple thousand. >> no, you are right, a few hundred feet up. >> we have a stationary camera in oxon hill. that is one of our locations that we decided many years ago where to place a camera. tucker and i did not make the decisions. somebody did. i don't know who. >> 700 feet is what i'm hearing how tall the tower cam is. >> we have other cameras. this is a camera that we have near the pentagon. most are positioned to show you traffic situations or show you a nice shot of the horizon so we can show you the sunrise or something like that. >> then we have to mention sky fox which is up each morning to give us beautiful views. >> and we plug into a variety of traffic cameras provided by v-dot an

i think he is associating with tw glen beck. i hate him and i hate all libertarians and could give them a bad name. >> whatever you think about beck, i don't think he hates brown people. >> beck doesn't do anything. >> he just hates you, andy. >> all right. >> greg, you said is you don't think jones was the main speaker in the rally. i looked at the schedule. it looked like he was. >> how can you understand? we collectively are the speakers. that's a good poit. point. why was he using a microphone? why were they doing a mic check 1234* he didn't have to use a mic. he could have said all of that. it sounds like they are not all in. >> they are not all in if they are using a microphone. if you go back to anthony ace history they are all in there. >> lastly, regarding the obama who came out as gay and used the vote thing. ultimately that was true. i was close to saying it at the end of the day. i said ultimately. exit polls found 70% of california's back voters propped the -- backed proposition 8. the gay marriage officials. they s

the best selling historian was glenn beck. at least last year. i'm not sure how his sales are doing this year. if you ever watch glenn beck's program, many people in america have, at least when he was on fox. i mean, he was using up a white board and he was giving history less lectures in a very dramatic way. often with tears in his eyes. and of course for him the progressive era was the beginning of the dissent into hell for america. of courses we've always had people like that before back in the 1890s, there was a coins financial school which was key work for populists. it was a work of history. so that's not new. but in many ways i think conservatives now probably have a more, how should i say it, coherent narrative of history than people on the left do, in part because of people like glenn beck. >> a lot of our politicians, i won't specify party, are really poor historians and our journalists are poor fact checkers of that history. i recently wrote a blog post, it's called crooksandliars.com. no objectivity there. and i wrote about rick santo

glenn beck is off of the air after he attacked you. i am wondering now that you have rebuilt the van jones whether you feel vindicated. >> well, you know, i pray for glenn beck every night. i pray for my adversaries and i do that. i think he is probably better for himself and for the country safe behind the wall on the internet where nobody can find it and it may be we can have a more sane conversation in america. let me tell you something, though. this is a serious thing that's going on. this drumbeat when they are saying socialist, they mean american. they are not talking about an economic strategy. the folks thein americas are the rain. they socialize their pain. they are not serious from the economic theory. they mean this guy is anti-american and this is what we have got to fight back on. who are these people to claim exclusive mandate and owner isship of patriotism? i can find very little evidence these extreme bashlashers love the country at all. when i say i love america, i mean i love the people who live here. the people who l

i'd wrath dore is live in a place and work in a place where crime didn't happen. >> reporter: chief beckr veteran and the father of two l.a.p.d. officers, have faced some skepticism in selling the predictive concept. you're a street cop. >> i am. (laughs). >> reporter: so somebody comes to you with a computer program and says "we're going to predict the future. we're going to tell you where crimes are going to occur." aren't some of the guys on the street going to roll their eyes and say "come on?" >> of course, that's the nature of human beings. everybody thinks they do their profession as well as it can be done already and they don't need it. if this old street cop can change the way he thinks about this stuff i know my kids can do the same. >> reporter: the l.a.p.d. began testing the predictive policing model here in the foothill division in november and the early results are encouraging. burglaries are down 33% and violent crime is also down 21%. that success will allow beck to expand the program to other parts of the city and leverage limited resources. >> i'm not going to get more

whether glenn beck or rush limbaugh believe it or not, there are millions and millions of americans whor that stuff on tv and that is so profoundly true to them. go to the tea party rallies, and people would just spontaneously recap it wait what they had heard from glenn beck the day before. >> kind of like anthony scalia. because he is regurgitating what is on fax news or rush limbaugh in the supreme court. last one are the politicians. i get in trouble for saying this, but i think 98% of them are bought and sold and those are the guys that know the best. beck in his deranged mind might actually believe some of this crap, but i think the politicians are like show me the money. >> that's probably true in an individual sense. but they are full of opportunists. today you look at the sort of -- what would you call it the ian rand in congress. >> ian rand was a social you path by the way. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank for having me. >>> when we come back mitt romney makes fun of president obama for going to harvard. >> the president who i think is a nice guy, but he spent too m

and now today, ted nugent has acknowledged this was on glenn beck's radio show.ve a listen. >> yeah, we actually have heard from the secret service and they have a duty and i salute them. i support them. and i'm looking forward to our meeting tomorrow. i'm sure it will be a fine gathering backstage in oklahoma. >> so they are taking you seriously. >> you have a meeting tomorrow? >> yes. >> so ted nugent is going to talk to the secret service tomorrow. it's not a formal investigation we are told by the secret service. they're just following up on the violent things that he said at the nra convention. where do we go from here? >> i think this is not going to go away for mitt romney. on the one hand, the democrats were looking to get away from the rosen controversy of last week which became a much bigger deal because president obama weighed in on it. once you have the secret service speaking to noou gent it guarantees this is going to stay in the spotlight. a lot of people are arguing this is a moment like the limbaugh issue that mitt romney could have used to push

i'd like to add two more to the problems that this person from us beck stan mentioned. first of all, obviously, there is no confidence in the region. there's -- this is a region where there is very little confidence among the corrupts. but does that mean that we have to solve all the problems of confidence around the region before we solve the problem of afghanistan? this heart of asia. there is the problem of the kashmir, the rushal central asia problem, the iran saudi arabia problem, do we solve everything before we solve afghanistan or do we have a process going at the same time? we have a principle of nonintervention, neutrality, sovereignty for afghanistan and confidence building for the region. second problem about this kind of regional push is so big we actually think we actually have a region that can come around afghanistan. now, there is a liberal view and a realist view. the. the liberal promoted in the u.s. and the international community because the countries of the region including central issuia, pakistan, japan have common interests in defeating nonstate

he said bill beck. i said why. he said because he kept the gap filled. he saved the whole situation right then when it was so critical and he kept me alive, our headquarters, the cp where it gets stable and not be, you know, that gap was huge. and he -- credited so much to you and russell. and -- so -- >> he is a very kind man with his words. at the time we didn't know where the cp was. i didn't know where the rest of our men were. i didn't know where captain nadal was. i didn't know where the rest of my buddies were. last time i saw them they were heading into the jungle. like i said i didn't know the creekbed was there at that time. found that out later. but -- we ended up there because of russell. that's where he went. i stayed with russell. so that happened by fate or blame it on russell. russell adams. he got me up there. wherp when we were there we came to fight for survival. russell got shot. >> how soon after you guys got done? >> things happening up there. russell was doing his thing. i left important more ammunition because -- we didn't have an

and you connected to glen beck which i love. on cable television show side show freak beck., yeah, it's the way these things are covered right? there is this glowing peace about what sort of visionary he is, right? >> basically we have to take stock of this man, because a lot of suckers believe him. and that's as far as it goes but if that's where your analysis ends then you are going your country a disservice. >> the sucker control is indeed a story, but not the story they were telling in "vanity fair." >> that's the point. it's a huge story, and it is not good for the country, and shouldn't be covered that way. it shouldn't be covered as one of these political parties have handed things over, and look at how many problems there. >> willard romney and glen beck are both manifestation, of our flaws.

remember glen beck when he was still on the tv.emember when he got on stage and told the tea partiers that their moment had come. they rallied effectively against health reform. specifically, president obama's proposed law providing coverage for millions of new people while requiring everyone to buy health insurance. here is the tea party response to those ideas in 2010. they are challenging law maikers outside the u.s. capitol just before the final vote on the bill. this kind of scene does not want to make me buy a tricorner hat. the tea party was maybe onto something. whether the tea party itself motivated voters maybe debatable as a proposition but with their out sized outer rage they represented a real sentiment, a sense of disposition, distrust of institutions and panicked fear of decline. you saw that in the 2010 elections especially in the house where republicans won control with dozens of new seats. many of them filled by fresh law makest. republicans controlled most state legislatures and held the majority of governorship.

after talking with beck, he went on the air with mike huckabee.ith beck, he went on the air with mike huckabee. here's huckabee's take. >> it was not threatening at all. the secret service has their own issues to worry about. in fact some of them probably need to be inoculated from at colombian cat scratch fever. >> this is going to another level. a warm welcome on the radio and the gop leadership is once again silent. mitt romney happily took nugent's endorsement last month and he's only said divisive language is owe pen differencfo. he needs to do better than that. we've seen his rhetoric from saying that he pounds around to a terrorist. it has to stop. where is the here? joining me now is sirius xm radio host and political columnist for the "washington post." thank you both for being here tonight. joe, your response to the secret service talking to nugent tomorrow. >> they should talk and they better not be the same secret service that he says he has barbeque with and could shoot a few rounds of taxpayer ammunition. he also said that in the cli

take a listen a little more from him with glen beck today. take a listen to this. >> i had standing ovation after standing ovation at the speech presentation n.r.a. because it wasn't a ted nugent thing. these are self evident truths we adhere to and we the people of this country will demand them again soon and i pray to god in nof. >> i assume he includes the offensive remarks and dplen beck praises him and mike huckabee and this is a remarkable performance by these individuals. >> it is remarkable. silence is come police it that you don't speak out against and the verbal echo from the right wing, the conservative branch of the republican party is offensive and outrageous and frankly chilling. ted nugent is obviously part of the lun particular fringe that karen finney said they're trying to court. they knew what they were getting in the bargain, the sour cords he would play and the viciousness he would into and the inability to contain himself. they realize that ted nugent is saying stuff they can't say so it is a whistle and a signal to thos
