michael eric dyson joins me for the conversation next.agree with president obama on libya, or not? >> okay. libya. >> i tell you what, it's one for the archives, isn't it? that was pizza man herman cain's recipe for success in libya. cain sat down with "the milwaukee journal sentinel." the paper's washington bureau i think you knew immediately that this was a bad moment that was being captured on videotape. we all know he's had trouble answering questions on foreign policy but libya has come up at debates and he was at a loss. >> the hits just keep on coming. a few months ago the pizza man said he was open to the idea of bombing the country of iran. now he says that strategy wouldn't work not because it wouldn't prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon but because iran just has too many mountains. >> would you favor a military strike against iran to stop that country from developing a nuclear capability? >> that's not a practical top-tier alternative, and here's why. if you look at the topography of iran, where are you going to strike?

michael eric dyson will weigh in on that and how this candidate is imploding.laying much of a role in my own life, but with advair, i'm breathing better so now i can take the lead on a science adventure. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help improve your lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. if you're still having difficulty breathing, take the lead. ask your doctor if including advair could help improve your lung function. get your first full prescription free and save on refills at advaircopd.com. and started earning loads of points. you got a weather balloon with points? yes, i

my next guest, james dyson, is known for his bold reinventions in the home.rever changed the way we think of vacuum cleaners, fans, heaters, and he intends to alter our vision of much more both within the home and without. thanks for joining me. >> it's a pleasure. >> when one thinks of creative engineers, innovators, you assume they're going to make really cool products like computers and laptops. what made you think of a vacuum cleaner? >> well, i'm rather attracted to rather prosaic things like vacuum cleaners and hand dryers. where people haven't made them with a love for what they're doing. if you look at, as you say computers, but thing like wind surfers and surf boards, and bicycles, you see the people who make them are passionate about the product they're making. but i didn't get that feeling about vacuum cleaners and hand dryers and fans. so i wanted to apply new technology to these products that we use every day to improve their performance and to improve our enjoyment of them. really to apply technology to make them better. >> so when you are think

i forgot to mention, the guy who invented the bagless vacuum -- >> dyson? >> dyson. and one isn't. i can never figure out the bagless one. i would ask him, how do i work my vacuum. >> the fans they have. it doesn't actually have a fan. >> i want to know why he's so awesome. >> michaela, what is your question? >> i would ask herman cain a question. like melissa harris perry, i want him to stay around as long as possible. we need it. all jokes aside, the comment he made about being a leader, not a reader in this time is so dangerous. not just that he quoted the simpsons, which he did on that one, but this antieducation stance that many of the -- some of the gop has is dangerous. does he think saying that at this time when we are in an education crisis, is that dangerous? it's almost antireading. when we are trying to get children to read. i feel so irresponsible and people let him get away with that. >> more than becky, becky, becky stand. >> we played that clip. what's interesting about cain's performance and the way he is projecting himself is this ultimate rebuke to

. >>> let's turn to democratic strategist steve murphy and msnbc analyst michael dyson, author of "can you hear me now?" i think that's what newt was saying last night. it was very different from what everybody else was saying who was on the stage last night. steve, you're not convinced. i read what you put on one of the blogs. you're not convinced this was a gaff on gingrich's part. explain that. >> two reasons. first of all, i think what newt -- newt is very shrewd in terms of dealing with the media. he's risen to the top in the polls. he knows all his personal life now is going to become a big issue, freddie mac, $30,000 a month for half hour meetings. the media is pouncing on that, vetting him as a potential nominee. here he comes out in the next debate and gives them this to nibble on instead of his real vulnerability which is his -- he's a washington insider and a horribly partisan divisive figure when he's been in government in the last 15 years. >> michael, have republicans completely lost out at any attempt at winning the latino voters? what do you think? >> for the most part

dyson for putting this together. i want to speak on an area of his legacy that i have not heard and may not be that well known. back in 1993, when the trust corporation was established to essentially read divide all of the assets that had been poured into the u.s. treasury as a result of the record number of savings and loan closures, a small group of us approached reverend jackson and asked him to work with us to pass mandatory legislation to require any contracts given by that agency to go to minority contractors. if you had $200,000 or more, you had to give the contract to a minority subcontractor. i just want to say that during that time, reverend jackson worked with us tirelessly for 18 months straight. we went on capitol hill. i dunno if you remember this, but we testified on capitol hill before the senate banking committee, we went around the country and organize and minorities that were in asset recovery. we held a trade conference, the first of its kind. at the time, i had a trade organization of minority co
