here with us now senior contributor, the daily caller, matt lewis and in new york, msnbc's thomas robertsue the conversation about the "duck dynasty" controversy by reading your piece in the daily caller. matt you write this. "duck dynasty" versus pajama boy two americas. and this is interesting. much of the criticism coming from conservatives regarding a & e's decision has focused on fact that a, robertson was merely stating an are a though docks christian position and b, that this is just his opinion. and he's entitled to it. and besides why are people so offended these days. but i'll make another observation. this may be an attack on unsophisticated country folks as much as it is an attack on orthodox christianity. when you consider the more effete cosmopolitan america that pajama boy represents you'll get a sense for why the "duck dynasty" folks are out of touch with today's acceptable norms. there is a huge schism between red state and america and america. >> you would agree that this is, though, conservatives do think that this is about what, not only orthodox christianity but the v

thomas. there is dense smoke pouring into the air at a metal recycling plant. we have the latest novembers from redwood city. matt? >> this fire starts with a huge explosion and now you can see the plume of smoke coming off the metal management plant here at the end of the seaport boulevard in redwood city and air quality is obviously a big issue for people in this area as officials are meeting to determine if they will call for a "shelter in place." the first 9-1-1 calls came in before 1:00 o'clock am with reports of an explosion. firefighters arrived and found a huge pile of appliances on file 75' by 100' and 25' high. county offices of emergency services of meeting right new to determine what to do as far as the air quality issues and they have not decided if a "shelter in place" is called for but we expect an announcement soon. the redwood city fire marshal says there are chemicals that are harmful like all fires but do not have specific on the byproducts going out in that smoke. another issue is the people trying to get to work with big office buildings at the end of the boulevard and police are blocking it
