progressives (John Nichols, Mike Papantonio, Katrina VanDenHeuvel, etc.) he regularly speaks with on the show pounded into his head where the movement was going, and he grudgingly got on board. More recently, he's been very pro-NSA; i.e., "give them all the tools they need to spy on whoever-wherever-whenever", reasoning that "we have to do whatever we can to avoid getting hit again like 9/11!". Others in this thread have also mentioned his antagonism toward the NBC staffers pushing for a union. Seems really uncomfortable with the idea of any new laws related to gun control.
