joining us tonight is glenn beck, founder of the blaze and syndicated radio host. glenn, you had your fair share of kabd date trump and president trump. his supreme court pick, does it make you rethink your early area sesme -- earlier assessment of the president he might become. >> yeah, in some ways yes and some ways no. and i didn't think this is a great surprise for a constitutional conservative. that was skeptical of what president trump might do. and on the air today apologized to everybody who listened to me and i said during the primary and during the election i don't -- if you're hanging your hat on this, i don't think it's a done deal. i didn't think he would. and did he. and for all of those he val generalic evangelical that's put everything aside because the supreme court is important this is a big, big move for donald trump for them. >> what about what else you have seen in the first 12 days of this administration? are there -- i assume there are concerns you continue to have. >> yeah. several. let's take the muslim ban. when i heard that reported on th

. >> his beliefs are not new to glenn beck, founder of the blaze. has had strong views about bannon for some time. i spoke to glenn earlier. i'm wondering about steve bannon earlier today. did you learn anything about him that surprise you'd or did it confirm what you already believed about him? >> no it confirmed what i already believed. what is frightening to me is the lack of reaction from the crowd at cpac. he dropped economic nationalism two or three times during that. he talked about populism and nationalism a lot. and then said look how diverse this group is. he knew he was an outsider. and by saying things, for instance, about gore had been saying hey, donald trump did this and he promised the people he was going to do that. they were also laying the ground that we are going to -- we're a white house of economic nationalism and populism. that is not conservative. and really, i think very, very dangerous. >> how does that differ than conservatism than many people at cpac? in what way -- when he talks about economic nationalism, what does that

greg abbott appeared on glenn beck's radio show. >> we don't care what the nfl thinks and certainly whatheir political policies are because they are not a political arm of the state of texas or the united states of america. >> tonight's nba all-star game you might remember in new orleans was moved out of charlotte, north carolina after that state adopted a similar bill last year. joining us now is a texas reporter. what is the latest reaction from the state lawmakers that you're hearing? >> as you 4i7b9you hinted out, defiance. they're trying to make it a don't mess with texas issue by firing back and saying that they should not get involved in state politi politics. obviously there are republican lawmakers and republican leaders who are against the bill, but right now the conversation is dominated by both the lieutenant governor and the governor for the very harsh remarks that they have had for both the nba and the nfl. >> and we're talking texas and football. i mean, this is a state that has hosted three super bowls, three all-star games, we all know about the cowboys. what has been th

i find it easy to suddenly build bridges with people like glenn beck and ben shapiro that are looking minute, maybe we can find some common ground with liberals. i often invite a lot of lefties on my show and i get blocked or muted or rejected but i have had some too and i welcome those conversations. >> tucker: i know the feeling. tell me about it. to look up your video online, it is absolutely worth seeing. a thanks a lot, dave. i really appreciate it. up next, general michael flynn was brought down because intelligence agencies monitored him and it leaked the information they found to the press.ie is the new administration being undermined by cia employees with political axes to grind or is something else going on? we will talk about it, next. oin? okay, let's call his agent. i'm coming over right now. the newly advanced gle can see in your blind spot. oin? onboard cameras and radar detect danger all around you. driver assist systems pull you back into your lane if drifting. hi chief. hi bobby. and will even help you brake, if necessary. it makes driving less of a production. lease

it reminds me of the kind of things glenn beck used to say about obama while he stood at his chalkboardndrew those unstable charts that he true. these wild conspiracy theories that are without evidence. we ought to have a serious, sober a structured investigation of the claims that russia hacked the dnc and john podesta z mills and that there were improper ties between donald trump in the russians and that ought to be made public so that we can see the information. but his constant media obsession of leaking whatever someone whispers to them about donald trump and russia because they know it will get the reporters huge numbers of retweets on twitter and tons of traffic by people who are being fed by what they want to hear is really feeding into the worst kind of hysteria and even the fake news that the media says they're trying to combat. these are serious claims that merit serious investigation. intercept, one of your colleagues writes -- "if in fact all of this is nonsense, trump has the power as president to make that clear immediately by declassifying all government intercepts of co

another 80,000 came back the next year for glenn beck's big washington rally.st gatherings have not been confined to washington, d.c. it was about 100,000 protesters that gathered for labor rights in wisconsin in 2011. you may remember that fight against governor scott walker's plan to crack down on unions. after obama's reelection, a massive 650,000 person protests were for a march to protest abortion there in washington. those are by our counts some of the largest gatherings on record. and they got many politicians' attention. so look at this comparison. the women's march drew about half a million people in washington alone, and four million people total in cities across america, much larger than anything we've seen by basically any standard, these trump protests are some of the largest gatherings in contemporary history. so what will they lead to? joining me now is jeff weaver, former campaign manager for bernie sanders and president of our revolution, a political organization that evolved out of that campaign. good evening. i put the question to you as some

it was almost like glenn beck and some people in our network that are no longer there were competing off, beck left, this other person left. you've got to play within the guidelines. there's no doubt steefg. >> little miller. >> bannonization of all this has certainly led to an atmosphere that's encouraging a lot of behavior, certainly on the anti-semitic side. >> why we're disturbed by steve miller's appearance on the sunday morning shows. >> remember breitbart called bill crystal a, quote, renegade steve bannon's leadership at breitbart led to anti-semitic undertones america is dealing with now. >> worst thing in the white house, not only this white house, when these things come up to say why are we being blamed. this is not our fault. this is the fault of other forces in our society rather than being intro suspect tiff and saying are we doing anything, can we do anything to make this -- >> you're in charge. >> has steve bannon done anything for the atmosphere of anti-semitism. >> he doesn't speak publicly very much. there certainly were questionable things published at breitbart un

i know for a fact when certain shows here, i think glenn beck, it was hard for certain advertisers, theyted his show. neil: right. >> because he spoke about conservative values. that is how corporate america is. neil: a lot of rich conservatives shop at nordstrom? >> you would think. i think this could backfire on them at some point if there's a boycott but i'm just telling you -- neil: you expect at starbucks we'll do things to encourage refugees. i don't know how that connect. >> starbucks is a perfect example. you remember the race conversation? neil: absolutely. >> when you got the coffee in the morning. neil: got a lecture. >> somebody would lecture you about racism and whatever. the premise is -- neil: give me my latte and shut up. >> also premise of that, everybody is racist, especially if they don't order pumpkin spiced latte. my point every politically correct schtick they embrace, and now they're up in arms of donald trump takes a shot at them. too bad, deal with it. neil: that is very interesting point. why is it now an issue? because he made it an issue. flip it around and wh

at a lot of people who consider themselves staunchly service -- you haveservatives, people like glenn beck are not into economic nationalism. can the president move this forward given congress? >> we are going to see this play out on a host of issues, whether it was yesterday at that ceo meeting. several ceos said this could in back to the states, a caveat for them to bring in more public and -- republican support. we will bring in more information including the court export and in sport -- import ban and whether the tea party is going to get on board to allow groups like boeing to begin to finance loans. people like top financial services chairman jim henson have been read opposing. david: thank you so much, especially for pushing your way through. alix: joining us now is alessio de longis, manager and chief u.s. economist at bloomberg intelligence. it was my favorite note that says our animal spirit got shot by poachers. this was my favorite of the morning. do you agree? >> since the election several of the classes have been -- namely the dollar -- foreign-exchange, the dollar in particu

i think glenn beck is a conservative. he actually closed cpac.w where words and lingo can mean a lot of different things. a lot of people see economic that it's really not the steve bannon i know. when we make economic decisions -- when you think about this, post-world war ii, the people who have run on government and the big figures in our economy have tried to use our economic well-being here in america as a stabilizing force around the globe. in order to do that we encourage people not to invest here but to invest in other parts of the world. i think if you see this american experiment shifting, middle-class americans not seeing the type of economic and prosperity that generation after generation is used to seeing, we actually have polls where people my age don't think their kids will have more economic prosperity than they had. that is a distinct change in america. mr. bennett did not address infrastructure spending, but the president of the united states says he wants $1 trillion in infrastructure spending. when you talk about big government
