glen beck, sean hannity and michael savage became major national voices in that time period. >> whats the state of talk radio now in comparison to cable news outlets? lot of people have moved over to cable news outlets and become pundits on television. >> in most cases, sean hannity, glen beck, the interesting thing about sean hannity is he is one of the only guys to maintain both a presence on tv and in radio on a long-term basis. glen beck was in cable news for a while, has his own cable network now internetwise but in last long on fox news, rush limbaugh had a brief four year stint on tv but those two guys were pretty much radio, where they get the big ratings. >> fred lucas, author of the right frequency:the story of the radio giant to shook up the political and media establishment. >> here's a look at some books being published this week. tom daschle, former senate majority leader from south dakota and reporter charles robbins explain how the u.s. senate operate and the u.s. senate, the second book in the st. martin's press series, fundamentals of american government. in invisib

hear how sean hannity greeted the obama victory in november -- >> america wanted barack obama for four more years, and now we have him. by the way, good luck with that. chris: that was a bit sarcastic. today as the president take the oath, the new nbc wall street poll traces a geographic divide. 60% of americans who live in cities say they like the president personally, and like his policies. in the suburbs 43% like him and his policies. but in rural areas it's just 27%. and that's what you see playing out in congress. also inside the poll 6-10 strong republicans dislike the president personally as well as his policies. joe, there's a deep groove of resistance out there, and i guess the question is, how does the first term look, when you look back on it, compared to how it's looking? >> he's going to drive them completely crazy, those 60% of hrps in this term. and the reason for it is that there's an enormous story that we're missing, and that is we have had two important votes in the last three weeks. one was on sandy, the other was on raising taxes. in both cases obama had a bipartis

ugly and coulter conservative pundit was on fox so-called news last night in an interview with sean hannity coulter talked about her theory behind all the gun violence and i think it was. as you know i just got back from england which to me they have not bought into this whole diversity enthusiasm on which raises the important point that on the gun crimes we keep hearing how new they are in europe and no there's no no when they have no guns and you compare white populations we have the same rate as belgium so perhaps it's not a gun problem it is a demographic problem which liberals are the ones who are pushing pushing pushing look at more columns for the sons and more whether the guy was he shot up fort hood why are they coming in to begin with so you heard that right in the delusional my head of an coulter guns don't kill people people of color kill people over has managed to turn gun violence an issue that affects every one of us culture ethnicity and religion into a racial attack and that it's very clear. is that she's a sandy hook a month ago a number of cities have tried to reduce the

election, that they understood what they needed to do to attract latinos to the party, when you hear sean hannityalk about, we have to do comprehensive immigration reform, you know they've moved the needle. i think that marco's proposal is very positive. i've talked to a lot of the latino groups and they've even said positive things about it. a good place to start. we'll see where it needs to go from there. >> because they're certainly expecting it. >> no question. the latino community will hold this president's feet to the fire. more importantly, they will hold to the republicans' feet to the fire as well, and hopefully that will be enough to push both parties to do the right thing. >> their voices are going to be heard, even this weekend here on the national mall. >> i'll tell you this, the president owes them a huge debt of gratitude, so he better deliver. >> that's exactly right. and republicans want to do it, if they ever want to have any chance of ever getting to the white house again. >> maria, ana, nice to see you both here. and ana, i hope you'll be able to brave the cold, up from miami.

. >> stephanie: and then they were bewildered -- >> what sean hannity lied to us. >> stephanie: carefully is going to win in a landslide. lots of pictures in it. >> stephanie: president obama lured them into the open with his carefully crafted chess game with his pretend broken wing, flap, flap look at me i'm practically a lame duck. the speaker of the house has been turned into a laughing stock. he is at the point he told harry reid to go [ censor bleep ] himself. consider obama has how managed to get them to break on their number one priority. now what do they stand for. >> and then grover norquist says they didn't raise taxes on anybody. >> they signed the pledge. >> stephanie: the republicans sleeves are empty of tricks. >> tricks are for kids. >> stephanie: actually he is comparing it to the i just [ censor bleep ] shot myself guy on youtube. he set the same trap twice and republicans walked right into it, and wtf, did obama manage to get them to shoot themselves again. my brother got me to touch the electric fence once and obama just got them to touch it a third time. >> don't ever

. >> that's what sean hannity is supposed to do. >> sean: not stopping. >> are you afraid. >> sean: no. >> it's a big distraction, and that's what i think it is. you have the muslim brotherhood, al-qaeda on the run, and the guns, it's a distraction, i'm going to define my enemies over here, over here and nothing over here. >> sean: and not only are we going to continue, i hope next time i get a mention, mr. president you did a lot in 2007, 2008. attack away. >> i feel a feeling you may be next, sean, watch that video of jason mattera and you guys got to stick around. >> and there are no listening in america, there are no enemies, land of the free. >> sean: there might be. he claims to have ban been a constitutional law professor, but president obama got a failing grade from a u.s. appeals court and we'll tell you about the brazen presidential action that he took that the court is now calling illegal and then tonight-- >> look, look, look, we're getting a following, ask bloomberg a question and we get followed. >> sean: jason mattera is harassed by the new york city mayor michael bloomb

[ laughter ] okay. shh. >> is he an actual guy? >> stephanie: fox news. >> fox news to answer the first amendment as does rush limbaugh. the job of fox news is to go after policies and to go after politicians in a constructive way. fox news has the best reporters in america and the best commentators and thinkers in america. if that upsets the president of the united states or the democratic leadership, then so be it. without a free fox, there's not a free america. >> stephanie: when you think of steve ducey and brian kilmeade, that's the twheard comes to mind. >> when i mount my journalism career. >> stephanie: the big thinkers. yep. no gretchen carlson. >> the shorter the skirt the closer to god. >> stephanie:

rubio sitting down with sean hannity to discuss the senate proposal we told you about yesterday and discussing what he thinks are the necessary steps in the immigration process. there must be enforcement measures before a green card. >> i think it's a good time to remind people the vast majority of con sefb tives favor legal immigration. we don't have a little immigration that works right now. illegal immigration undermine illegal immigration. he we understand we have to deal with this. we have 11 million people by all accounts are going to be here the rest of their lives with or without documents. we can't do anything to deal with 11 million people that is unfair to people who have done it the right way or number two will encourage illegal immigration in the future. that's whey your point is so crucial. must be a part of any final bill, that is this, before we can move for the pass for green cards because citizenship comes after that. pass the green card. before we move to a passport green card there has to be enforcement mechanisms that are in place. it's not just the border it's workplace e
