Charlie Rose Talks to Glenn Beck

Tell me what you really believe about Trump.
I’m not sure that he is a deep thinker. I think he goes off his gut, and his gut has served him well for what he does. He speaks in dog whistles. Whether he knows it or not, he does. And the people around him definitely do. I do think there are those around him who are deep thinkers. [Campaign chief] Steve Bannon is one of them, from Breitbart. Bannon is putting together a coalition. He knows who he’s bringing into the tent. The average American doesn’t. And this has been really concerning to me. I warned about this three years ago: the influence of Alexander Dugin. I pointed this out and said, “You don’t know what you’re getting into bed with.”

Who is Alexander Dugin?
He is somebody that people really should be paying attention to. You’ll see that 48 percent of Trump supporters believe Putin is a good guy. This comes from [Dugin’s] neo-Eurasian movement that’s happening over in Russia and starting to spread into Europe. Dugin was pouring money into church organizations here in America [to fight] gay marriage. When I was on Fox, I warned that you would see the neo-Nazis start to rise in Europe, and it would jump over to us, and it would infect the Right, and it has. You saw this. The neo-Nazis, the Klan, and the white supremacists signed a pact to stand together. They feel this is their opportunity. You’ve united them plus this populist movement and nationalism. It’s a toxic, toxic brew that’s part of this neo-Eurasian movement.
