we're back to mix it up.

today's headlines. both parties trying to spin the unemployment numbers. another big name says good-bye with the white house. we begin with the president and the republican with who ho hopes to be the next speaker of the house john boehner. offering their spins on today's job numbers. >> the job growth is moving in the right direction. i have said many times before, it took a long time to get out of where we are right now. damage left by this recession is so deep that it's going to take a long time to get out. >> it looks like the reports that we have seen every month since president obama signed this stimulus spending bill into law. unemployment is high. millions of americans are out of work. >> as if neither understand the concept of 20 years of currency-rigging and trade manipulation as a giant nation on the other side of the world tries to build itself by keeping

its currency weak and taking our strong currency back. why do our politicians refuse to defend the country from chinese predatory trading practices? david, i don't care which political party is, i don't care how these politicians try and play it, why don't they want to deal with the elephant in the room? >> i'll tell you why, those very same corporations has declared that the empire is about to strike back. the empire of corporate america that's dumping eight times the money on the republican side than democratic side. it's a fact. these corporations are declaring war on our democracy. that includes foreign, yes, foreign corporate money.

going to the u.s. chamber of commerce being spent on your elections. pay attention to the commercials that they air on this network. take a good, hard work. that these corporations are hiding. they are keeping it a secret. they don't want to say sponsor by goldman sachs. your democracy is being stolen, america. it's being stolen by the companies that are dumping money into these congressional campaigns right now. >> matt lewis, from a tea party perspective, property rights, how do you approach this from a real -- i what i would consider a traditional eisenhower standpoint? >> well, i think that after david's rant there, maybe he should have a disclaimer, paid for by media matters. >> the truth hurts, doesn't it?

>> here's the deal, by the way, much nicer in the green room. but, here, what's going to happen. what i hope will happen is divided government. remember when bill clinton was president and we had newt as speaker, they actually got things done. they balanced the budget for four consecutive years. we looked at the reagan administration the clinton administration, there's an incentive for politicians to tackle the real issues for the american people. >> let's move on to national security adviser james jones stepping down to be replaced by his deputy tom don jil oshilon. all of this routine a couple of years in a presidency, a potential real change in course for this president?

david, what say you on the jim jones matter? >> i worked in the west wing of the white house. i can tell you, it was brutal. it was harden my family, it was hard on me. i'm glad i did it. this turnover that you see every two years, you saw it in the bush white house, clinton white house, it's real. i don't think this signal a change. when you see the president take the deputy of the departing person and move that person into the principal slot, that should tell you something. this isn't a directional shift. it's a personnel change. >> i agree on the sense that it's grueling. ronald reagan had six national security advisers. it was true that he was the deputy. we're going from a marine corps general. by the way, their philosophies are different. i think it's likely that he will

give b giving president obama advice that's different. in terms of iraq and afghanistan, tom donilon said that he wants to rebalance american forces. it's starkly different than what this president has undertaken so far. so i do think that this could have real ramifications going forward. >> did he convince you to think about this differently, david? >> no. i think that, if you look again, let's look at the facts here. president obama is the type of president that likes to hear different point of views, balance them all. the fact that you have a deputy moving in, again, doesn't suggest that a directional shift for the entire administration. you'll have somebody else in that deputy slot. >> keep in mind, gates said that he would be a disaster and even

the general himself said that he didn't have the credibility with the military. so, this is a real shake-up. there was tension between the predecessor and the successor. this isn't a normal transition. >> gentlemen, always a pleasure to see you. >> he looks sharp. i give him credit. >> flattery will get you anywhere. i'll come back to the show. >> hardball is straight ahead. is new jersey governor chris christie a fresh face for republican? but first, the daily rant. why he says white american has straight lost its mind. preferred prescription plan, you have more time to remember what it's really all about. enroll starting november 15. go to walmart.com for details.

we're back with what i think a particularly provocative daily rant. toure is here to talk about it. >> there's a new fantastic piece to the village voice here in new york, called white america has lost its mind. white americans have been used to running everything and having everything go their way. but, myriad national traumas from recent years have wrecked the foundation from everything they knew to be true and they now have their bowels chilled

with fear. it's all tongue in cheek. white americans aren't really losing their stuff, right? >> i'm not really a witch. i'm you. >> i don't think most white people are actually going and saying, but i do this there's a their there. baby boomers are entering their twilight. global dominance and doing the right thing for minorities here. in a relative span of years, everything they thought about america has had to change. 9/11 has shown that we must live diligent against another attack. the global war on terror we're not a military dominant figure.

we have the best and strongest military, many of today's military challenges are puzzles of a sort that we can't deal with. add to all of that, our devastated economy and our slow march towards justice, it seems like the pillars that are crumbling around the baby boomers. if they woke up to discover things that no longer are true. the sun doesn't rise in the east anymore and your mom isn't your mom, by the way, your ipod-loving son is about to become the patriotic son of the year. but not to fear, blacks have known we have a double consciousness of america. look it as a great country with some deep problems.

so, join us in the double consciousness. >> what is the trick to that? >> the trick to that is that you have a sense, this is over here and i'm over here. i see america as troubled. but i'm not troubled. i know america hates me. but i know that i don't deserve that hatred. an intelligent person can hold two opposing views in the mind at once. i know america has deep problems but a lot of that is brought on by people that are over there. i can know that i can still live to get through america. >> whether, again, the military issue that you referred to, or the economic issues the two most glaring, health care is the third, energy another one, a lot of those problems are a function of the fact of what i call corporate communism.

have been bypassed by technology by gen-x. the banking industry, sent money to washington to protect itself. the health care industry sent money to washington protect itself. if we force those dead industries, made to live purely because they pay off our politicians, that industry is the legacy financial system of this country, the debt industry is that the energy complex that refuses to make the adaptations to get us to energy independence. the simple act of releasing all of us, anybody who loves this country from the clutches from the dead industries that are strapgling this country, make a little bit less crazy. >> i think all of that is there

and real. it seems very abstract. you're talking about military issues and things happening to other people. when you add in the housing crisis and now this comes not to your doorstep but in your house, your house is upside-down, your house is foreclosed. you're shaky, i thought america was a place that where i could buy a house in a nice neighborhood. no, you don't have your house anymore. what are you going to do about it? that is frightening. >> you can do two things with that fear, you can become insane or use it as motivation to force the government to release its grip of these zombie dead industries. in other words, how do you channel the victimization, the negative reality not into self-destruction and insanity,

but to actual problem solving. >> it's hard. that's massive question. >> you can do it. >> i got ten seconds. answer the future
