the fringe from e-mail forwarded by your you know crazy uncle these are things that you can see glenn beck say on television you can see them coming from elected officials like michele bachmann so they have a glean of reality and if you're predisposed to having that fear center be activated i think that's a powerful mix but then we have to ask you know it was interesting about that i think about that of or if you want to talk about fox news specifically is that they beat out all the other cable networks right all of their competitors when it comes to their audiences they're one of the cable networks that's actually making a profit they have a model that has been incredibly successful for that and so are people i mean why do people come back are they drawn to that area though they see it on t.v. and they say i want to feel that again. well there is a chicken and egg thing here which comes first it may be that people who are predisposed to seeing the world in these stark black and white you know good versus equal people terms are attracted to what fox is giving rather than fox catering to th

people like that but you don't see them going off to start their own network which is which is what glenn beck did with g.b. t.v. now the segmentation health because his audience of lunatics followed him but it's not on prime time you have to order it you have to watch it on you tube so you know so there is some savvy there so i mean when you look at that interplay among those three factors it explains a hell of a lot of what's going on i was so i like piers morgan i mean larry king was larry king it was an icon a lot of people like that a lot of people older people like me like tuning in but then when he was gone. and we basically went with them and now where did we go i mean some people went to fox some people are watching you know animals kill each other on animal planet but they're not watching piers morgan because there's just something you know not very genuine about him and b. and he's still trying to do the celebrity get for the latest murderer scandal and it really is wearing thin but these networks are banking and that they've always kind of banked on their star isn't and best millio

it is associated one of hope and changes most strident cable television critics, glenn beck. i think that both of those -- the appeal of the messianic sandwich is the apocalyptic style reflects in part the impact of partisanship to the extent and which in asiaweek and religious institutions, where people still have all this religious energy and seal and partisan is so much stronger much easier to invest religious energy and other essentially political crusades. this has been true throughout american history. glenn beck and of course woodrow wilson who is the embodiment of the messianic side of the heresy of american nationalism. one recent decades wasn't so much is that i feel like the sort of recognize him as a cracked mirror twin in a way. they sort of represent opposite -- opposite poles of the heresy of nationalism. but anyway, so that's sorted the chapter on political heresy. and then i finished and again the tour of the book and so i'll finish where i finish. i finish with the prospects for the future. i have a four-point expiration, but i don't have a five-point plan a

the problem is taught that data it was competing with glenn beck who wants to hear the church clinic here right. the result of that is a new kind of ignorance that affects the high is the unformed as much as it does the least informed. confirmation by nasa's the new 821. i want to get practical in particular, why does it matter to you : even from a business standpoint. stanford university conducted this test. they divided the group into three parts. one group and their cask maximize the value of the contract initiation. one group with drilling off -- need for cooperation and another with no reparation and all of. by means of a racial endo mean million information or wrong information. serve it in of the these people lies. this is killer the purses of favor bin is led zeppelin or that person's dog's birthday is symptomless seconds. meaningless information. what is interesting here is that when they looked at the ability for people to maximize the value here, the people with useless affirmation increased the value of their contracts and negotiations by 14%. but they did that perform ne

they took a long time to respond to glenn beck, took a long time to wake up to the tea party. so it never had the priority other white houses had. and third, i think you saw it there with governor rendell. have you a situation in which the gravitational poll of the president, the leader of the democratic party, is diminished. have you politicians and ex politician looking out for their own brands who don't want it sign on to what will be a very vicious and negative campaign. they don't want to tarnish themselves. cory booker is doing that. ed rendell is doing that. that is a problem for the campaign going forward. >> whose job is it to orchestrate the surrogates. to recruit and orchestrate them? >> everybody does it. it should be the white house normally but right now the campaign is controlling that. dnc controls it. but yeah, i think your point is well taken for another reason. the obama campaign this year is playing money ball. playing for little incremental wins. ground game. things like that. these failures matter. it is hard for them to argue that even though this is not

they took a long time to explain to glenn beck, they took a long time to get back to the tea pear.o you have now a spags which the gravitational pull of the president has been diminished. you have politicians and ex-politicians who are looking out for their own brands who don't want to sign on to what's going to be a very vicious campaign. that creates a pob who orchestrated. it should be the white house normally but right now the dmc controls it many i think your point is also taken for ear. they're playing for little, incremental wins, ground game, things like that. it's for for them to argue. their built to built this their ting. my guess is that over the next several weeks because of this, they get their stuff together. they do have people out there. . and there's other inside the campaign that they'll be promoting. you'll see people getting a talking to before they go on air. obviously that didn't happen with booker before he went on "meet the press," but i'll be surprised if the campaign allows anybody to go on again without sitting him down and saying, you have to understand

i thought this was debunked already but conservatives even know, this is from last night on glenn beck's internet tv show, conservatives are still stuck on this. president obama's web video that came out ended with this slogan forward. the right just went nuts that the word forward was the obama campaign's way of signaling that it is marxist. it seems to impose the economic system by karl marx on america. that president obama is a communist, that the word forward is communist. richard nixon forward together, communist. also the washington, d.c. metro system is cois this jewish daily newspaper in new york city, communist. and jewish, whoa, i know, deep, right? and the state of wisconsin which has an awesome flag has the word wiscn makes it easy to pick out of a crowd of flags. the little banner over the very frankly communist arm with hammer and little firearm and stuff has the state slogan on it, and the state slogan is forward. obviously, wisconsin is communist. here is the state slogan on the state quarter with some cheese and some corn and a cow wearing a bell. forward. communist. is

you know, glenn beck's bete noire is the embodiesment of the -- embodiment of the -- one reason beck hates wilson so much is i feel he sort of recognizes him as his sort of cracked mirror twin in a way. [laughter] you know, they sort of represent opposite, opposite poles of the heresy of nationalism. but anyway, so that's sort of the chapter on political heresy. and then i finish and, you know, it's a tour of the book, so i'll finish where i finish, i finish with the prospects for the future, and i don't -- i have a four-point explanation for christianity's decline, but i don't have a five-point plan or, god help us, a five-year plan for institutional christianity's revival. but i do sort of return at the end to where i started, and the model, i think the model of the postwar revival is helpful for us in thinking through the challenges facing christianity today. and it is a fairly pessimistic book, and i do think that institutional christianity is weaker today than it was in the 1920s and '30s, and so this decline will be harder to come back from. um, but i do think that sort of the

. >> bill: glenn beck on another campaign. it has to do with lemonade and

. >> i think some of it may be a product of people like glenn beck who are no longer on fox news.e of it maybe a product of pure strategy. if you buy the argument that fox is trying to get mitt romney elected, clearly mitt romney wants the election to be about the economy. he doesn't really want to talk about the social issues for a variety of reasons. look, it may also be that there was some evolution taking place amongst conservatives or at least more nuance taking place. i think a lot of kwvshgz would be in favor of civil unions. like gay people, for example, should certainly be allowed to have hospital visitation, but the fight is over the redefining marriage, and that's a little bit more nuanced. >> john. >> conservatives may be -- they say -- and gay issues in general. it's not just because they want to talk about the economy. i think there's also maybe a growing recognition that going after the gays might not be great politics. what that means for the media is if you are looking at the issue, you see democrats on one side being pro-gay. you see republicans on the other side

folks on the conservative side of the aisle proponents of legalizing it including grover norquist, glenn becko you think now is the time for if not decreation the war on drugs changing our national positions on certain drugs? >> yes. i call it ridiculous prosecution, because a -- persecution. the time is long past. one of the lines that gets laughs in my campaign is it would be a big trav esty if the hippies died off without legalizing pot first. i lived in the north coast region for 25 years and used to have a thriving timber industry but it was throttled now we have a narrow range of opportunities in the rural parts of northern california and marijuana is providing anywhere between 25% and maybe 60% of our total income. our entire economy on the north coast has made a transformation over the last 15 years and now it's just time to stop throwing people in jail. no one should be in jail. over 800,000 people a year are arrested for marijuana in this country. it's just not right. >> i want to play a little bit of sound, the president weighed in on the subject of drug legalization when he was in

he talks about me but he won't talk to me and i think the people of watch glenn beck, they should ask him why won't you talk to van? if he confesses he's a traitor. well and not those things, so i cannot confess to that. i would be happy to talk to him any time. part of the problem that we have is you have people will live in their own information bubble. just the fact that i read most of the books about the tea party and listen to rush limbaugh and the sort of thing i'm much more open to the conservative movement than my liberal and progressive friends. i won't even read that stuff. isn't that they are being closed minded, not being open to other views? aren't we doing the same thing? so i think that i am passionate in my beliefs. i don't pretend that i am something i am not, but i also am an american and we have a lot of different points of view in this country and we have to listen to each other. we don't have to agree. i want to beat my opponent. i'm not a conservative. with conservatives running i want to beat them a fair and square. like kids playing soccer i would like my kid t

if you look at sort of the apocalyptic response that the obama presidency got from a figure like glenn beckeligious zeal being channeled into partisan causes because the older religious institutions aren't strong enough to hold it. people don't identify as methodists and catholics and presbyterians as much so they identify as democrats and republicans with a religious zeal that i think feeds polarization, inevitably, because if politics is apocalyptic or messianic, it's very hard to compromise. >> very briefly, what's the way forward? what revives christianity? what would that entail? >> i don't have a five-point plan. this sounds sort of like a cliche, but american christians need to be better christians. it sounds simple in a way, but americans need to, in a sense, go back to the new testament and look at the parts of their own religion that should challenge the way they live rather than just affirm it. and, again, easy to say, hard to put into practice in my own life very much included, but i think that's what we need more of in american life. >> all right, it's the book "bad religion, h
