i showed you glenn beck and his political views and how he says he has changed over the years. ll about the future. think of beck as the face of beck, inc. a giant business that includes his daily radio show, book, live events and a popular website. forbes says his company earned $90 million a year. beck's biggest opportunity at all is here on cable television. he is trying to do what so many other big media personalities have only dreamed of doing, that is, to have a cable channel of his own. it's called the blaze. it has 12 hours of programming every day. you might not know about it. right now you might have the blaze on your cable lineup, but you probably don't. it's only in a fraction of the 100 million homes with cable and satellite in our country. the fact is it's very hard for independently owned channels to get carried but beck has a plan and it involves not just talk shows like the one he hosts now but scripted dramas, too. check out what he told me about where he's going. >> we're sitting here in mercury studios. this is a 72,000 square foot facility right outside of d

now it's getting a little more serious. >> he's nobody's fool, glenn beck. you may not like his argument, but he's thought it through. >> but he's trying to get that 57%. >> anybody who thinks this is just being concocted should listen to the voices, besides the 57% of republicans rank and file who tell us they want this guy impeached. steve king of iowa, the u.s. congressman, he gladly used fox news sunday with chris wallace yesterday as his megaphone for his impeach obama bugle cry, and the white house probably couldn't have been happier. our own chuck todd lampooned the notion that fox was in cohorts to book king in the first place. as chuck said, i think the white house would love if somebody -- if everybody booked steve king 24 hours a day. anyway, this is congressman king reacting to reports that president obama is planning to act on immigration reform without congress. >> i think congress has to sit down and have a serious look at the rest of this constitution and that includes the "i" word that we don't want to say. where would we draw the line other

you said did you once say that you were addicted to glenn beck. i did. my wife never let me forget it. well i thought it was really fascinating you know in two thousand and two thousand and eleven. that this network fox network rose you know in the ratings and became the highest the most watched twenty four hour news show and a news news network and you know i thought it was interesting to it was a way to find out what the folks on the right are really thinking and what their strategies are we like to tell our you know people that we watch fox news so that they don't have to the idea being you know we got some real interesting nuggets. that we included in film like karl rove spelling out exactly that strategy on fox news about why it's important to take organized labor out for political reasons for the for the financial reasons. where the other side say though the mainstream media leans left and mainstream media has a lot of power and that counterbalances the coax. they would say that you know what with that i would say that. well i would say that the ma

glenn beck seems to be doing well doing his online network of sorts.ou looking for people who are polarizing or biased? can you give me more specifics? >> nobody feels that they are biased. they believe in the things that they are talking about. it we are looking for people who have something to say that is resonating with an audience that wants to hear more of it. they don't have to necessarily be controversial. you could be a great musician who delights tens of thousands of people around the world in concert arenas. they might be wanting to touch your world and have access to your life and why you wrote the songs the way you did and what you are performing and what guitar you play. there is no end to the types of content. you could be a wine connoisseur and just turn on your phone or your tablet when you're on the go and learn more about your passion. >> sarah palin is to criticize cnn when you are there. what were those negotiations like? >> she is a fantastic person. she is a lot of fun. she is an amazing moose chili cook. i have the knit up in ala

you know, i just say they will not give up on the -- this used to be the glenn beck line. now we have people in congress, not just doing it once but doubling down and tripling down. >> and your view on mo brooks, now in expanded mode. >> yeah. lou eck has a great riff on this. not that white people are better, but that they have it better. to understand white privilege, just look around the country. they control more of the resources and have more of the opportunity. any other way of looking that the is just absolutely bizarre. >> you know, the hill reports that republicans strategists are really nervous about this rhetoric, joan. we're joking a little, you and i, on it, but they say that republican strategists are nervous about this kind of rhetoric. republicans say gop lawmakers make comments that democrats are waging a war on whites. this is what the hill writes. >> the mainstream party does this. one set of voices does this and one set says we don't want to be the white party any more. we can't afford to be the white party any more. then another wing of the party conti

even glenn beck wrote last week, "the local police are supposed to protect and serve, not shock and aweesidents and transform their towns into a middle east-like war zone at the flip of a switch. imagine for a moment how history would be different if the birmingham police were militarized like many towns are today." now, as surprising as it was, it did make a whole lot of ideological sense. keep in mind, obama-era conservatism is the same political movement that rails against the petty indignities brought about by recalcitrant clerks at dmvs, obamacare navigators controlling health centers with clipboards. it's a movement that staged a massive freak-out over the admittedly invasive tsa body scans. political movement that's adopted as its unofficial flag the yellow and black gadsden flag. a defiant message, don't tread on me. there is no set of people who should be better equipped with the ideological priors to recognize the specific kinds of indignity and infringement of liberty presented by overzealous, uncaring and unaccountable police officers. but i fear that all that might soon see

showed the cover of the book that's what it is it's like it has chapter after chapter about like glenn beck you know you remember when he was riding high and it was just like it was the endless shooting gallery it was just like it was it was so much fun there's two main problems with doing this one is that it feeds the sort of cycle of . you know what will you look at look at someone like sarah palin in particular this this notion that these people have that they're persecuted you know and that it's people like you and me the liberal elite the you know intellectual giants of the left who are always picking on them you know to just do it without paying any attention to what you know to the broader narrative that the right builds for itself which is always that they are the persecuted party they're rising up from below all this really is a tactical mistake but another tactic mistake is that yeah we do tend to think that because democrats by and large laugh along with us democrats believe in the theory of evolution democrats would never say something most democrats i'm sure there are some but

of right-wing radio hosts who have quite an audience, they have said things like that, i think glenn beck said something like that. he sort of backed away and apologized more recently, but i think the sort of longer term -- >> he called it stupid. >> he call td stupid, but i think the longer term problem that republicans have is whether or not this permanently damages their chances with that obama coalition. which partly was whites. it was also african-americans and also latinos. does this kind of rhetoric really have a lasting impact on this party? and their chances at building a more rainbow coalition that will support their party? >> nia-malika henderson and krystal ball, i'm going to have to leave it all. thanks for your time tonight and be sure to watch krystal on the cycle, weekdays at 3:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. >>> coming up, a fight erupts between nancy pelosi and a republican congressman. and he forgot to check the facts. >>> and if you're a benghazi conspiracy theorists, it's not a good day for you. wait until you see a new gop house report. guess they'll have to com

which kind of leads in all of the direction of the glenn beck ism of you know reinventing the history of the left but that's another topic. at another time and yeah i think we should actually if the invisible bridge your new book the fall of nixon the rise of reagan this chronicles the years really just a three year window seventy three to seventy six why those particular three years well the short answer is i was heading for nine hundred eighty and i kind of ran out of pages. but why did i run out of pages i mean i realized that there was a pretty good self-contained story to tell between basically the inauguration of nixon in january of one nine hundred seventy three and the republican convention in one nine hundred seventy six which turned out to be a really stunning dramatic climax of the book because it was the last convention in which the outcome wasn't pre-determined in advance. but the reason i kind of got so caught up in these years i think is because i was so fascinated with telling the story of watergate no way to never quite been told before you know john dean in his new b
