megyn: chris plant, i asked about this last night. was chris christie there to convince us that mitt romney should be the next president or was he there to convince voters in the middle to put on a republican team jersey for this election? >> i think mostly the latter, megyn. i think if that was his mission he did a good job. i thought the speech was inspiring, even if it wasn't tough enough. i thought it was an all american spao*efpl. american speech. he did go after the president's failure to lead the country in a cohesive way in a unifying way. that speech that president obama delivered in 2004 is now a joke. i mean if you look at that now and look at his presidency, and gallop polling has found him to be the most polarizing president ever. i think the message that chris christie was delivering and the republicans are delivering is a message of bringing us back together and recognizing again which we seem to have forgotten about three and a half years ago that we are all in here americans, we are all americans. as barack obama said

chris hahn is a form aide to chuck schumer and chris plante is radio host of the chris plante show.searcher says this recession has had tremendous effects that previous smaller recessions did not. and in particular chris plante, the kids are going -- there is no place like home, as it turns out. >> there is no place but home as it turns out because there is no place to get a job. so it's hard to pay the rent and keep the lights on when you don't have a job. it's not their fault. honestly, megyn, i get calls from listeners all the time hoffa seetionly thank the obama administration for bringing their family together. it's not just the kids sleeping in their race car bed again the mobile hanging from the ceiling. but mom and dad are sleeping on the couch. you have multiple generations. barack obama's economy is like the waltons. >> i love how you take a measure of 2007-twine and blame barack obama for that. so clearly there was something wrong with our economy before this president took office. megyn: but she is the one who says the great recession has had tremendous effects that prev

, ra radio host of the chris plant show.roup actually was on fox news in response to general dempsey and says that is why they didn't use current military, they only used former active duty, not active duty. but the chairman of the joint chiefs seems to say, look i think the whole thing just confuses people and it's important for us to remain apolitical in the minds of the people. chris haupbz i'll let you take the first stab at it. >> i think the general is absolutely right. you don't want to see the military engage in politics. that was an original founding principle of this country where they are actively campaigning for one side or another. i think that's what you have here. i think that the ads are extremely misleading and untruthful. look, at the end of the day the reason why we found out about osama bin laden the way we found out is because, look, when you launch an attack in a residential neighborhood and a helicopter goes down people are going to know about it. people on the ground in pakistan knew about it. pakista

shannon: chris hahn and chris plante, gentlemen, good to see you both.robert gibbs said. he said if an ad is not true, it one be effective. is that true? >> yeah. this is about business. and in romney's case business is business and business must grow. he doesn't care about the consequences of his actions. the consequences of him closing down that steel mill where this man lost his job and his wife didn't get preventative care. i'm not blaming romney for this. i don't blame romney for her getting cancer but i blame him for her losing her health coverage. if she lived in massachusetts she would have had healthcare. but i'll take it one step further, if she had been alive in 2014 she would have healthcare agriculture as all americans will under the president's plan. shannon: "the washington post" gave this four pinocchios over this. he lost his job in 2001, lost his coverage. "the washington post" found that she had coverage for a couple more years unher job. did not pass away until several years later. the ad to some who sight for the first time, plante,

joining me, sally toll's and chris plante. they were asked, why not?like president obama why don't you get to the polls and go out there and vote for him. they talked about they are too busy, they are not excited. they don't feel their vote matters and nothing ever gets done anyway. put it in perspective, chris plante. >> i think there is a great deal of disappointment. i hear it almost every day these days from my listeners calling in saying i used to be a democrat. but there is millions of people are crest fallen. there was all this hope and change and at this point we are more polarized than ever. the president and the vice president yesterday seem to be deliberately balkanizing the american people for their own gain. it's the dirtiest campaign anybody can remember. the economy is in the dumber. college graduates are living in their mom's basements. why would anybody be enthusiastic about re-electing the president. we are in a point of malaise. things are not going well. one of the reasons i think people are saying, well, i support the president but

chris. but he attacked the president on general motor's plan in wisconsin that closed in 2008. watch this. >> i live in jamesville, wisconsin. we used to have a big general motors plant. a lot of my high school buddies worked at that gm plant. that was shut down in 2009. i remember president obama visiting it when he was first running saying he'll keep that plant open. one more broken promise. >> only problem with that, it closed in 2008 before president obama was president and he was the congressman. and george bush was the president. >> let's step back and marvel at how ridiculous it is he is to go around the country saying the president didn't do enough to bail out the auto industry. >> if they ever get in the white house, the west wing will be flip-flopping all over. >> it's not going to happen. >> chris hayes, crystal ball, thanks for joining me tonight. enjoy your weekend. >> thank you. >> catch "up with chris hayes" saturdays and sundays at 8:00 a.m. eastern. and crystal on "the cycle" here on msnbc. >>> coming up, the obama team sends an offer letter to mr. romney on his tax releases. you won't believe how he's responding. >>> and mr. ryan is heading to the w

chris christie was rumored to be the one to do that. he didn't. ryan went after him. not entirely accurate. there were a few stories that he talked about, the janesville plant that shut down, it shut down in president bush's tenure. so he was a bit naughty on the facts, wasn't he? >> when people give speeches, not every fact was absolutely accurate. president obama has said a lot of inaccuracies, mopefully by mistake. the general thrust of the speech was the american people have a choice. much bigger government. much bigger private sector. we've tried a much bigger government. we have the worst unemployment since the great depression. the most permanent unemployed in about 60 years. president obama is not asking for a second term. he is asking for a second chance. and you don't get a second chance when you've done such a horrible job he's done. >> by making such a dynamic speech tonight, paul ryan, i know whether the democrats like it or not. the republican party faithful really enjoyed it. that puts huge pressure on mitt romney tomorrow. he has to follow some great speech. his wife made a great speech. chris christie made a great speech. paul ryan, condole

chris said. the problem is none of them told the truth. the fact is that ryan very eloquently misled people. he walked out of the debt commission. he lied about the plant in his hometown. it was closed in the end of '08 when bush was president, not under obama. if you want to have an eloquent person that does not tell the truth, this was a great performance. if you're going to match facts with the performance, they have a big problem. condoleezza rice stands on a platform where they preached all night states rights and talked about how she grew up in segregation. if the state's right isn't won, you still wouldn't get a hamburger at that lunch counter. so are you talking about education as the civil right. it is. then why are you off cutting the education budget? i mean, it's great poetry for those who want to be lured into some fantasy island, but the reality is what they advocate and what they theatrically presented tonight is two worlds apart. >> he's the best young conservative presenter we have seen in a long time. he is the young conservative that the party has been looking for. he's got good communication skills. he came out tonight, he looked re

chris: yeah, he is. it is firm priorities pac and it is barak obama's campaign and surrogates sleaziist ad to date and it said mitt romney killed a guy's wife . >> when they closed the plant i lost health care and my family lost the health care . short time after that my wife became ill and passed ark way in 22 days. i do not think mitt romney realizes what he's done. i don't think that mitt romney is concerned. >> lthe washington post awarded that for misconstruing the facts. mitt romney left bain in 1999 to run the olympics. nevertheless the poor man's wife of obviously, this man feels as though his life took a down ward spiral when he lost his job. but his wife died in 2006, can you cannot - on connect those dots from 2001 to 2006? >> mitt romney had left of the company 7 years earlier. this is unfortunate thing for us. for the integrity of the ad. this is by the super pac done by bill burton who used to be at the white house and left to do ads. this woman had insurance after he lost his job. when he lost his job, mr. joe sotik his wife was working at sabres thrift shop and she was laid off a couple of years later. she had insurance after her husband lost the job. his

chris. they are -- that is the one they're worried about. they're not worried about the others to go for the other reasons i said. but on that plant.announced -- we went through this whole timeline. i know you guys have done this too. gm announced it under bush. it was shut down then. the bailout -- it was announced when the shutdown was going to happen also under the bush administration after the president was elected but before he took office. yes, the final -- the plant actually shut down where it no longer produced anything in the first few months of the obama administration, but it was after it had already been scheduled to close. and the only argument now that the romney/ryan campaign is saying now the president got his auto bailout and was picking winners and losers, why didn't he make janesville a winner? >> this isn't a story where it's paper shuffling. here's $17 billion and this is what obama did with it. the fact checkers here are the workers. they can tell you the day they got notice. they can tell you the last day they got a paycheck and they can tell you what it was like when they went home. this is a slam dunk for t
