and e.j., that is what is killing them. republican senator david vitter was caught on tape at a town hall meeting just yesterday delivering an encore performance of mitt romney's infamous 47% comments. listen to this. >> i wish you were right, that nobody wants obama care. that's not true. in fact, the other side, who absolutely wants it, most of whom are getting something for nothing, came out in droves in the last election and side sat at home. >> getting something for now. now people with preexisting conditions, to get young people covered by their parents until age 26, on and on, these are people that are trying to get something for nothing, beggars wanting a handout. this kind of a fence is what is killing this party. >> oh, i think that's right. and by the way, for the record, when i mentioned those debate moments, i had no idea you were going to show that clip. >> you should never underestimate me, e.j. >> i never underestimate you, reverend. but i think this comment shows that however much some conservatives try to

he's an ally of iran and he's made mischief. >> oh, e.j. mr.ng to former president george w. bush. >> i don't agree with him much but i'm not a fan of mr. assad. everybody agrees this is a brutal regime. has been going back to the time of his father. of course, the question is what do we do about it? the question has always been asked. there are a lot of brutal regimes in the world. when do we choose to act? when we talk about expecting what john kerry is going to say, if indeed we're acting, i expect him to go back to that very morally rooted language he used a couple of days ago saying we've got no choice but to act when they use chemical weapons. but that still won't explain what the strategy is and i hope the rest of his statement is involved in explaining what we're going to do after. >> i mean, annie, it's also -- we talk a lot about iraq, as we're having the conversation about iraq and to what degree syria is similar or dissimilar, having george bush pop up and talk about making mischief, the whole thing i think for people and both the p

joining me melissa harry's perry and e.j. dionne.oth for your time. >> thank you. >> good to be with you, reverend. >> melissa, this is a big debate there is no question the attacks in syria are awful. but what is your take on going to work? >> look so, this president we know is a student of history. and so he has two examples in recent history. he has president clinton who did not intervene in rwanda in the context of genocide. and of course he has samantha power and susan rice there from that administration. so undoubtedly, he is weighing that. he is also of course got the most immediate president who took us into the war in iraq on faulty -- >> right. >> at best, faulty intelligence, and embroiled us in a decade-long war. and then he is also a student of a longer history. we heard there from secretary kerry when he said this is about the credibility of the united states, about our strength sort of in general as we do the work of the world. so even beyond this immediate point. and so he knows from world war ii and from world war i

joining me now on our panel is "washington post" e.j.grio's joy reid. e.j., it seems to me that we have conflicting feelings when it comes to moral obligations. how is this one more important than the other unwithes that i mentioned? >> first of all, ed, it's great to have you back on weekdays. a lot of people are cheering. secondly, i'm glad you went after that word surgical because no matter how you feel about syria, i just don't like the word surgical applied to war. it seems war is the opposite of surgical. i think the president has a problem here. i think on the one hand, when he talked about nation building begins at home, it was one of the most popular things he said. richard haass of the council on foreign relations who is no liberal wrote a book called foreign policy begins at home. i think we agree that's where our priorities should be. but i think the president kind of boxed himself in because he did draw a clear red line and said that if they use chemical weapons, we got to act. and i do think that democratic countries have t

if you don't, you're slapping e.j. james in the face. you probably would enjoy because if you read her book, you would know she's a -- seriously, thank, guys and nipple plants -- we better stop. unless you want us to keep going. thanks, stephenie meyer. >> coming up -- >> nicole andrews in the new movie "loveless." we asked if she would accept a drink from a guy at the bar. she said maybe some would slip something in it. >> that happens. i have been roofied. >> why were uyou roofied? >> because i have jerk-off friends. >> i'm -- >> we have nicole andrews. she's in the new movie "loveless." >> if you're at a bar, right and a guy sent you a drink from the bartender, ok, would you accept the drink? >> she goes oh, you mean because somebody might have slipped something in it? >> if there's a roofie in the drink? i would be like is there a roofie? and they would be like of course not. >> can you not buy someone a drink? >> as long as you can see who's pouring it. >> it happens. i have been roofied. >> wait y were you roofied? >> why? because

i think that e.j. manuel, first-round pick looks good.eep your head up, young fella, you look good. >>ly go with new orleans. seeing sean payton back on the sidelines. he knows how to call the plays. helps their defense as well. just seeing him back on the sidelines has to mote video giv guys. >> i'm impressed with that new england offense. two series just marched down the field on the bucs "d." that's part of the story. bucs without darrelle revis. they have to find a way to get out of the bottom of the league pass defense. >> the story is tom brady. i don't know who he was in the previous life but god has blessed him. you have to be kidding me. it's incredible what he can't do out is there. the other big thing too, how about what's trending earlier on twitter to now. check this out, my man over there, look who is with you, randy moss, twairl swift and of course tim tebow. there's a lot in common right there. >> i don't mind being next to them. >> at least you know america is watching you. i think it's because of the suit. i like that. >

i think it's obsessive compulsive disorder like e.j. and why will they cut their bottom line in order to to pay the people more versus raising the prices on the goods that is my question so the question again if they're so greedy why would they cut into their profits versus raising the prices on the goods. that way they wouldn't they wouldn't except for the fact that they're there in a competitive marketplace they would if they did that they would go out of business where they're going to also claim that no they don't have some leaders who are willing to run a business where the c.e.o. takes less money coming your host a particular side of this there's two types of competition happening here you have competition amongst products prices of those products and what consumers demand you also have competition amongst labor and that is the amount of people that wanted to work for a certain price you know people are not. being paid usually the minimum wage the minimum wage to a certain stand i'll make your argument for you diminishes competiti
