david brock so yes, we have many people who work for david brock telling us that the atmosphere thereound a gun in d.c. also, let's talk a little bit about your sources. people are going to say oh, you know, he's probably making that stuff up. you say your sources are people who currently work at media matters. >> if you read the piece, you get the sense and it's accurate that we talked to an awful lot of people in and around media matters who have a lot of details about how that organization runs. aalmost all of them didn't want to give us their names because frankly a lot of them are still committed progressives and they're still left wingers and they still believe in the cause but they're very, very concerned about the leadership of david brock. that's what this came down to. david brock, it turns out, has a lot of people who disagree with the way he's running that organization who really are concerned about his stewardship of it and that's why they spoke to us. >> why are -- ok, so you got sources inside and people who have left media matters. for the people inside media matters,

david brock wants an investigative reporter back in the early 1990s, brock now taking taxpayer moneyto publishing flat out lies. what makes this guy tick? joining us, a member of fox news medical a team, dr. keith ablow. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: what do you make of this guy? >> if you look at his history, what you have is back in the '90s when he was vigorously almost violently opposed to the clintons, published a best selling book that was tremendously critical of them, he is a person who you lurches in whatever direction the wind can blow him the farther. if you don't have an internal self, you feel like you'll capsize. so you have to find enough supposed accolades in the world, enough applause that you feel like a substantial individual. so when republicans didn't respond so well to his book about hillary clinton, he at that point took tremendous offense and went to the other side and said, by the way, i lied about them. the truth doesn't matter if you're in a panic to be -- for adulation. >> steve: combine that with the fact that, according to the da

but according to a new report, david brock should be more concerned about what's going on in his own brock's former personal assistant, hayden price morris was walking around washington, d.c. carrying a concealed glock handgun. rob wheeler, a former d.c. homicide detective and fox news contributor says that's a major crime. >> the only one that's legal to carry a concealed weapons are sworn police officers. this individual with mr. brock was neither. if that's the case, that is a felony. >> the people at media matters reportedly tried to cover it up. they were terrified news of the gun would leak because a lot of their funding from the donors come from gun control lists or people aligned with that. tucker carlson joins us with brand new evidence who exactly media matters was trying to take down. they hired private detectives to follow him? the answer coming up. >> the beatles popularity suffering from a generation gap? >> music legend paul mccartney performed at the grammys on sunday night. twitter lit up with this question, oh, my gosh, who is paul mccartney? to some younger people,

>> all right, well it's a new book called the fox effect, david brock has written that back along with ari rabin. it's amazing stuff. fox, you know, as david explains, they just, in fact let me quote him: >> that's so true. they've now gotten to the point where they're not even pretending anymore. you know who's the largest donor to the republican presidential election in the last republican governors? fox news, $1 million. the only donor that equaled them, david koch. hey, there's the koch brothers again. fascinating combination. that's not all. you know what? they have political interests that they're not necessarily going to show on air but want to influence for other reasons. maybe, how about what they put on air? first of all their news editors are constantly sending memos and sometimes going on air themselves telling you how bad barack obama is, in fact, bill salmon is the managing editor of fox news' washington, d.c. bureau. the guy in charge of the washington, d.c. bureau. he said in a memo internally that. >> should be talked about about on air by their news reporters. here's

with xerox, you're ready for real business. >> who is funding david brock, an admitted drug user ande liberal outfit that's declared war on fox news and he also has some questionable ties to the white house as well. tucker carlson is the founder of "the daily caller". they dug into the group's finances and found a list of the liberals who are pumping cash into the organization. tucker is down in d.c. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, steve. >> all right. this list is really kind of a who's from the left, isn't it? >> yes, it is. barbra streisand foundation, the joyce foundation on whose board barack obama sat for eight years. sandler's foundation gave $400,000, they're of course, the people partly behind the subprime mortgage collapse. the stride rite foundation, the ford foundation, suzy tompkins buehel, some of the leaders of the left wing movement in this country and they gave a lot of money, almost $29 million to media matters. >> right. and the shuman fund for media and democracy is managed by bill moyers. do you think bill knew when he was sending money to david brock,

david brock is a friend of mine. the original intent was to expos misinformation on the media.tent he has changed his purpose and become idealogiccal i think that was a mistake but i also think brent bozell is another example and evangelical churches are another example. >> even if you are right, you are saying that you are using bad behavior alleged to excuse other bad behavior. >> no, no. >> bill: that is exactly what you are doing. you are saying i don't want to deal with media matters so i will go over to another organization. >> i want to deal with media matters if they are violating the law. >> bill: we are dealing with it now. >> if they are violating the law they should be relieved of the tax exempt. >> bill: we made the case quite clear. it is not the law they are violating. it is the nonprofit statute. i have known you a long time and i respect you. when you tell me that you are a friend of david brock, a vicious character assassin that lowers my respect for you. no one could be a friend of this man who is in business solely to injure people with whom he disagrees. if

>> david brock has talked about his illegal drug use in the past. remember, these are not right wingers, conservatives that are coming out saying this. these are dedicated leftist progressive wos want to ensure their place in the movement. so they offer these comments in this way. >> jack schaefer wrote say the daily caller is attacking media matters with bad journalism and lame propaganda. your response? >> we put a lot of great reporters on this piece and we really enjoyed what we presented and we they we have a phenomenal story. >> thanks for joining us. up next, andrea mccarran on the harassment campaign that erupted afterive reports on underage drinking here in washington. all energy development comes with some risk, but proven technologies allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by re

martha: there is also the issue of david brock as an individual. and you guys have gone after him and unearthing, facts about his drug use which he has admitted to in the past. >> yes. martha: and his, basically his sanity i guess is the issue that you have raised in all this. one of the reasons that this is so, such a compelling story is because this organization has tax-exempt status. >> that's right. martha: seems that is the most concrete thing that deserves everyone's understanding of this group and what they're doing and why they would have that kind of status given what they're doing, right? >> exactly right. we interviewed number of people around david brock why while he used illegal drugs. the reason we got the story first place, people who worked for david brock, still committed left wing liberal idealogues and unhappy with his stewardship and erratic behavior. he had his personal assistant carry loaded glock into events in washington that he believed right-wing sniper teams were out to kill him. apparently groundless concerns that he wou

we have records of a meeting between the president and media matters, david brock, and valerie, the president'sop advisor. we have knowledge and reported of a weekly conference call between the white house and media matters. and others another meeting they attend with media matters. this is in effect an arm of the obama campaign and our view is and i think the view of any nonalliance person looking at this, that's fine, but just don't expect to get tax-exempt status. in real life, as you know, it's very hard just to get anyone tax-exempt status revoked. that almost never happens. there are members of the congress now looking into media matters as tax exemption and we will see what happens from here. but that is the crux of why this is outrageous. >> you and i both know that churches are regularly threatened with the loss of their tax-exempt status because their pastor stood up and said he's against abortion or against marriage and that's from a pastor speaking his heart from a biblical world view. if that tax-exempt status is threatened, help me understand why we wouldn't have some outrage goin

david brock's left wing web site media matters openly engages in a war on fox news.n another kind of war, a war on religion. vince is a senior on-line editor for the daily caller and joins us once again from d.c. good morning. >> good morning. >> it's a war on religious entities and stories on christians, isn't it? >> that's right. $50,000 received in a grant from arca in 2006 which is a left leaning group run by a tobacco heiress and that grant was given to media matters specifically for them to be a watchdog of religious media. religious broadcasting. as we know, the watchdog efforts of media matters are, i think, overstated. the efforts that media matters conducts are really to attack and criticize ideologies including in this case religious ones. >> sure. less watchdog, more attack dog and in particular, attacking fox news. if you look over the last couple of weeks, though, vince, you can see that clearly it does look like they've got the -- a war on christians and catholics regarding this contraceptive mandate because they've been highly critical of people on th
