. >> joining us in washington, matt lewis, great to see you. thanks for being here as well. >> thank you. >> "the view" walkout. i didn't see it live. i missed history. what happened, norah? >> should we start with that? let's begin with that infamous walkout on "the view" where whoopi and joy left the live show in protest of bill o'reilly's comments on muslims. here is how it went down. >> let me break this to you. 70% of americans don't want the mosque down there. >> where is that poll? >> what are you talking about? >> no, no. >> oh, my god. >> muslims didn't kill us on 9/11? is that what you're saying. >> extremists. >> i don't want to sit here now. i don't. >> you're outraged about muslims killing us on 9/11. >> you have just seen what should not happen. we should be able to have discussions without washing our hands and screaming and walking off stage. >> listen to me because you'll learn, all right? >> whoa. well both whoopi and joy returned to the stage after o'reilly said if anyone felt i was demeaning all muslims, i apologize. the fir

let's bring in karen finney and matt lewis to have fun with this.ees feel like survivors and that makes sense, right? >> absolutely. probably everyone is taking on a little bit more responsibility, working more closely together, probably a bit of overlap. i think i'm glad i work for myself. >> a lot of these people say they aren't just making the jump to friend like on facebook or something but one in five, matt, say they are willing to take their relationship with their boss to the next level if it will help their careers. apparently the things we will do to keep our jobs. >> well, let's hope it doesn't go there. i think that's maybe taking it too far. some of this could be -- some could be a positive biproduct. our grandparents who came through the depression were different than us. we're fickle. i never had a job that was more than five years in one place. we tend to be fickle and think the grass is greener on the other side and maybe if something positive comes from this downturn it will be an appreciation for those of us that have jobs. questio

. >> 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,

joining us now, dana milbank, columnist for "the washington pos post", julie and matt lewis. matt, does obama's trash talking about fox news help or hurt fox? >> i think it helps fox, clearly. you know n fact there was a recent survey that came out i think showed that fox is the most trusted in certain terms of people getting their news, 42% i think compared to i think 22% for cnn and 12% for msnbc. people getting -- >> primary election news. >> maybe they find it entertaining but clearly this is good for fox. i think it's good for obama if your goal is to rev of the liberal base and that's clearly the strategy they've employed. >> dana, every time obama talks about fox seems like he elevates them. >> i think fox should be sending him flowers each time he does that. encouraging him to do it over and over again. the obama administration has been terrific for fox news, less great for others. you always want to be in the opposition particularly when it's an ideological network or outlet so he's been a magnificent gift for them and he makes it very difficult for msnbc. >> julie ma

. >> bring in the panel to mix it up, jane hampshire, founder of the blog fire dog lake and matt lewis daily .com. pleasure to see you both. start with you, jane, here in new york. for all the desperate cries for a policy debate in this country, why is it that every time i cover politics in this election, i have crist cal ball out of virginia defending herself for being called a whore as opposed to actual debate on policy in virginia and i look at these excer excerpts, dick blumenthal is a liar and linda mcmahon is a weasel but neither one having any debate about job creation, monopoly health insurance, the war in the middle east? is there any context for an actual debate among politicians talk about things we are actually doing as a country? >> if you listen to the debate, they did talk about that stuff that suspect what gets the headlines. >> is it what gets you elected? >> i think that in that case because it has become so dominated by the fact that, you know, seven people died when linda mcmahon, the past two years since she has become a candidate and tried to absolve herself of re

today former hillary clinton senior adviser howard wolfson, democratic strategist karen finny, matt lewis and the "washington post" jonathan capehart and terrorism analyst evan kohlmann. >>> good tuesday morning, i'm chris jansing. this is "jansing & company." a new poll finds democrats are narrowing the gap with republicans and, in fact, at least in favorability, have a slight lead. bloomberg national poll democrats have a two-point higher favorability rating that reverses an eight-point deficit over the summer. but, republicans are connecting with voters on issues, less spending, lower taxes and repeal of the health care overhaul. karen, matt and howard join me now. a lot of contradictions in this poll, which is really interesting. for example, they are for getting rid of health care, but when you ask them about the individual aspects of the health care reform, they are actually for them. i'm wondering, when you boil this down, what is this election about? is it just a referendum on barack obama, karen? >> i think not. i think that's certainly what the republicans are trying to make it

matt. >> thank you very much. state and local governments across the country are having to scale back to deal with huge budget shortfalls. why are some government workers still raking in lavish salaries? here's nbc's george lewis. >> reporter: he is perhaps the poster boy for public servants with hefty paychecks. robert rizzo, former city manager of bell, california, had been earning $800,000 a year. now, he's in jail as part of a huge public corruption case. since the arrests of rizzo and four members of the city council, communities all over the country are looking at the pay of their public officials. >> i think it is surprising that, you know, at a time when these cities and local and state governments are crying poor, that the people in many of the top positions are being paid very, very well. >> reporter: when the msnbc.com website invited the public to send in examples of supersized government paychecks, over 1,000 people responded with tips that the site then verified. in phoenix, police chief jack harris retired three years ago receiving a one time payment of $562,000 and annual pension of $90,000. but then the city re-hired him as public safety manager at a base salary of $193,000 a year. in las vega
