. >> there is a piece of sound i would like to play from glen beck.owever i just said last week, i have a gun to my head, i will vote for mitt romney and if it's newt gingrich and there is a third party and it's ron paul and i don't agree with his middle eastern policy at all, i might consider ron paul as a third party. >> we are seeing cracks here. even glen beck is saying he wouldn't vote for newt. >> that's right. those are a lot of cracks if you are including glen beck in that statement. it's true. you are seeing not just a gop establishment which is the narrative we had in this cycle and their objections to newt gingrich, but non-establishment people too. i don't think glen peck can be considered. i am having doubts about him. he is a figure that makes some uncomfortable because he is so unpredictable and because his ego is so enormous. it's enormous for a politician. as you know that's saying something. he believes he can do no wrong. he sees himself as a historical figure because he is making it. that's aç dangerous place for politician to be.

>> reporter: and the right, glen beck, sound alike. >> is this the most offensive building i have ever seen. >> reporter: the so called cloud would actually connect the two luxury apartment buildings and contain restaurants, a wellness center, pools >> that's really nice. they should do it . >> reporter: she and an engineer were the only ones we talked to who defended the project. >> this is typically what an architect does. he wants to do something different. >> reporter: they compared the twin towers seeing jesus on a piece of toast. the architects say they envisioned a cloud in the sky, a fluffy, innocent cloud. this bhoij represents the in-- image represents the inspiration for their design. the architects apologized to anyone's whose feels we have hurt. during the 3-month 69 process, the architects say they did not see the connection. somebody's head is in the clouds. >>> another very cold night on tap. earlier this afternoon, we saw some clouds bumping up along the coastline. but those are gone now. we'll see a few clouds overnight. spotty cloudcovers, and but mostly clear skies.

>> glen beck?is a void right now that needs to be filled when it comes to television, news, and media and information. people i so hungry for it. there are obviously a lot of fears that are very easy to play upon, be it ziff -- it -- xenophobia with immigration or, of course, when it comes to his love phobia as well because of september 11th and all the uncertainty with the economy. i do think that people want someone that they can relate to, listen to, and, like i said, i think he pulls the right strings and learn how to play upon those fears, and that is one model that is successful call whereas the rest of the media, you see the they're struggling. cnn is changing their lineup and trying new shows left and right. none of that is working for them. like us said, you have the other networks hiring people like you couric and paying them millions and firing of the people because of it, and that is failing for them. that is because there's other avoidances that regular mainstream news is the news anym

>> you mean glen beck? my sense is you never get away from live. live drives up ratings. live and immediate and taking people to the scene when possible is what the audience wants from cable news. they have migrated from the networks for live news coverage. you go to the cable networks and hopefully you go to fox. it is not a history channel. it is not an in depth channel. i was amazed that glenn ran through his lessons and got such a huge audience but he was. you are not going to get that -- not a reasonable expectation. not that anyone will go in that direction but it is important that people obviously be educated and bring some perspective to any debate taking place. >> we have time for one more. >> do you think there's any chance we can get back to an independent voice? a lot of people, and on this. one channel or the other is leaning in one direction. fox and am s nbc not sure what they want to do but may be going back to the 50s and 60s where the objective was to be more independent. >> i grew up in a 60s and for me walter cronkite was a hero. i didn't say is that b

. >> lgbt is large glen beck tv. i was going to subscribe to that. everyone was kicked off, but wasn't the teacherrying to stop the giggling. >> as a first amendment. -- >> this is the least of our problems with the educational society. that's ridiculous. go. i'm done. >> it is always a joy having you here. you can go now. >>> jim, what is happening to this world? i am not sure what i am referring to. >> they just took the f-word away from us. they took it from me. i just came out of the closet and my other friend, i can't use gay anymore and what do you say? >> you can say gay, right? >> obviously you can't in there. you can't say gay because kids are giggling and it is offensive. there will always be a word. no matter what the word we will always use it. what do you make of this, bill? >> these kids need to grow up. apparently they are close to 10. we need to understand that the word "gay" meant something different at the turn of the century. my favorite bar in new york is called bill's gate in the 90s. it has lots of pictures from the 1890s and we

. >> there was an interesting contrast in the interview with bret behr and the glen beck interview withgrich. he handled it. he didn't come off as annoyed and he was gracious and sort of got out of the boxes that he was put into. mitt romney on the other hand was thin skin and prickly and had a major problem. newt gingrich in that way is more skilled and more nimble. >> because he's a politician. >> joanne and crystal ball, thank you so much. >> the treasury boss steps into the crisis and the pressure is on. we're kind of a quiet couple. yes. but lately we've been using k-y® intense™. it stimulates arousal so the big moment is... (announcer) k-y® brand intense™ - intensifies female satisfaction. i'd like a decaf 360 calories please. i'll have a triple iced 410 calories please. you know what... i'll have this instead. [ female announcer ] swap one thing a day for a yoplait light at around 100 calories. it will add up to amazing. >>> timothy geitner is in germany urging union leaders to resolve differences and stabilize finances. in response, france and germany put forward a proposal for

on the other hand, you have the likes of glen beck saying the heck with all them. he's going sort of a lost cause of michele bachmann. there's a lot of disillusionment on the right but they have caused it by eliminating all of these legitimate candidates in the first place. >> millions of people in the suburbs of philadelphia and new york and chicago and cleveland and all around the country, middle of the road voters who thought they were going to have an option in the upcoming presidential campaign, if they were a little bit disappointed with president barack obama, perhaps hopeful but still disappointed, it looked like they would get a choice. it looks like the republican party is not going to give them a choice with this clown show going on with the likes of newt gingrich and donald trump. what a duo. thank you, steve schmidt, thank you, dana milbank. >>> coming up, no matter who the rips end up nominating, president obama is betting on a campaign strategy of fairness. he wants the middle class to get a fair shake. he wants wall street to play by the rules and h

i think he is not in glen beck's league. he is a more responsible figure. the thing to be said about all these people including rush with such a large audience. people like to listen. a lot of people like me listen but don't go with russia when it comes to voting. for example rush limbaugh campaigned for three or four years against john mccain and john mccain still managed to win the republican primary in new hampshire and south carolina and florida. so lot of people listen to the rush limbaughs and ann coulters of the world does that does not mean they influence the vote. a friend of mine says rush limbaugh can't deliver a pizza. he can't deliver votes. it is important to distinguish between those or listened to for entertainment and how people actually think. >> host: jeff is on the phone. go ahead. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i like to reference an article you wrote previous to the 2008 presidential election called class war before sarah palin in which you made a very astute observation that in john mccain's choosing sarah palin as his runni

he dehumanizes people like glen beck, calling them racist and bigots and marxists and socialists. >>lks about unifying the country. he's a strange man. >> you are wasting time debating that. if you don't see it, i can't help you. >> people that don't know newt at home need to know this. you sit here and breathe this and live this 24 hours a day and i have known him for 20 years. a lot of people don't. we are trying to be fair here. yes. newt is a bad person. he dehumanizes people, but i'm also explaining why conservatives, if you are conservative and you look at republicans that don't shoot straight, 20 years ago he made a revolution to balance the budget. >> it tells you where the primary voters are. they want to hear a fighter. they are left limp and newt gingrich is going out every day and houpding president obama. >> they had the national conversation and the republican party is there within a month of telling the party these are the two choices. >> they need to have ray national conversation. >> is any republican endorsed newt gingrich. i was told it has not taken place. he is l
