thanks, eric. the nation's rough economy has more and more americans living off food stamps these days and those food stamps are stimulating the economy. in recent interview, agriculture secretary tom vilsack said of the snap program "you have to recognize that it's also an economic stimulus. if people are able to buy a little more at the grocery store, someone has to stock it, package it, shelve it, process it, ship it. all of those are jobs. it's the most direct stimulus you can give in the economy during these tough times." so is that actually true? are food stamps a stimulus? joining me now, senior fellow for project 21 and fox news contributor and economy and radio talk show host mark levine for an interesting debate. good morning to both of you. mark, i'll give you the first crack at this. really? >> yeah, it's actually food stamps are some of the best economic multipliers. all you have to do is look at a paper by the chief economist for moody's and talks about the fact if you spend a dollar

michael eric dyson will join me on that conversation. stay with us. >>> if house majority leader eric cantor gets his way, there will be no federal disaster relief to help in the irene aftermath. not unless there are spending cuts, as talking point memo reports, kantor will extend his requirement that federal disaster relief be paid for cutting spending elsewhere. kantor spokesman added, we are going to speculate on damage before it happens, period. but as you know, eric has consistently said that conditional funds for federal disaster relief ought to be offset with spending cuts. really in that seems to be at odds with kantor's previous fiscal positions in his political career. he's given approval to some our country's biggest debt drivers. take, for instance, kantor vote for the bush tax cuts without spending cuts. he vote for the wars in iraq and afghanistan without spending cuts. he voted for the bush's unprecedented expansion of medicare without spending cuts. so why the twist? well, you've got to make it tough on the american peopl

margolis he's a war correspondent columnist and author from toronto in canada eric thanks very much for being with us here on r.t. but now the u.n. mandate for nato military mission expires next month the question is will nato stay on beyond its mandate do you think. the wording of the man changed to make it a more humanitarian. nabeel is this a lot of money. and the lure of oil. is over or maybe it was committed to staying in libya the long stick nevertheless also the fact that the rebels are made up of what tribal factions sectarian factions it doesn't necessarily mean just because the rebels or one that we're going to see a peaceful future there in libya doesn't know or the only thing that we can safely say is that it looks like it's a very confusing situation for quite a long time for example oh we don't know where to go for years. a barracks in downtown tripoli where i interviewed him once years ago. even. left the hiding but the problem is that the this so-called transitional government in benghazi a traditional flow of tripoli libya was more or less created by the french and

a simpler way to ship. [ woman ] we didn't know where to go next with eric's adhd. his stimulant medicine was helping, but some symptoms were still in his way. so the doctor kept eric on his current medicine and added nonstimulant intuniv to his treatment plan. [ male announcer ] for some children like eric, adding once-daily nonstimulant intuniv to their stimulant has been shown to provide additional adhd symptom improvement. don't take if allergic to intuniv, its ingredients, or taking other medicines with guanfacine, like tenex. intuniv may cause serious side effects, such as low blood pressure, low heart rate, fainting, and sleepiness. intuniv may affect the ability to drive or use machinery. other side effects include nausea, tiredness, trouble sleeping, stomach pain, and dizziness. tell the doctor about your child's medicines and medical conditions, including heart, liver, or kidney problems.

let eric answer this. i'll come back to you. >> it is not. >> yeah, tom, we're seeing in polling numbers some real similarities between what john f. kennedy faced in the '60s, where people just said frankly, i won't vote for a catholic. and we're seeing similar polling numbers with the american people here in the united states. now saying the same things about a mormon. in around that 20%, 25% range. who just said flat out i won't vote for a mormon. and i think, tom, that comes from a general misunderstanding about the tenets of the church and frankly people just aren't very religiously literate when it comes to the teachings of the mormon church. >> quinnipiac had it at 36% of voters feel somewhat or entirely uncomfortable voting for a mormon. tricia, let me come back to you with this. you have also said some things about the faith where you said you that knew it was a complete lie after you left the church it took years to clear the fog from your brains of indoctrination and deception. you clearly have b

it's not just an outlier. >> let me raise that to eric about mitt romney. i was surprised also to see him being so weak. and this poll also shows that perry has 37% of the tea party support. is that romney's problem or evangelicals? >> i think romney's problem is across the board. i hear a lot of reporters saying mitt romney will hang on to his national constituency, but i don't know what that is. his basic claim to fame is that he was a jobs guy and perry was a career politician, but he got elected in 1994 he'd be the career politician. >> isn't he establishment? isn't he just the establishment? >> he's the establishment guy to a degree, but he's the establishment guy by default. republicans typically elect the guy who they perceive as the front-runner. the big exception to that was 1980 when the establishment guy was george h.w. bush. and he fell to reagan. you know, i'm not surprised because if you look at all the polling consistently, romney has been capped out at a third of republican voters. he's benefitted by so many people being in the race, but as

eric first, from bayer. wow. [ male announcer ] new bayer advanced aspirin. >>> welcome back to "the ed show." we're here at the free clinic in new orleans, where over 1,000 patients have received care this day. one surprising thing to me about this clinic is that the trouble that we have had raising money to fund the selfish work of these amazing volunteers. i know these times are tough, and in the past economies, you know, we have tried to do things in the past to help people out. and i want you to do a little bit more. every little bit helps. if you would like to contribute to this very worthy cause, donation information is there at the bottom of the screen. >>> coming up, new orleans is still fighting its way back from the devastation caused by hurricane katrina. we'll have the latest on that, the city efforts to rebuild. of and next, psycho talk, conservative columnist george will downplays the effects of hurricane irene. stay with us. >>> and in psycho talk tonight, hurricane irene affected almost the

you said it was sinful for eric cantor, and i commend you for that. why did you say that? >> well, i think it's shameful. we as a country come to the aid of everyone in the world. in fact, we're the 911 for the world. but if american citizens suffer a tornado or earthquake or a forest fire, we need to be there for them just like we would for anyone else. and as a beneficiary of the goodwill of this country, when katrina hit, and rocked our world down here, i just think it's wrong for me not to stand up and say, we -- you all helped us when we needed it and we should be there to help other americans. and if it takes republicans and democrats agreeing, you know and i know, that's not going to happen in a quick manner to help the people when they need it. >> and we're really seeing the country right now fight with finances. >> yes. >> and have we gotten to the point where we'll do anything to make the budget work? i mean, you've got a hurricane that's bearing down on the east coast the last few days, and we're talking about cuts to see if we're going to help our people. what'

today brian just thinks eric cantor is doing a heck of a job. >> we don't have any money. let's say fema needs $1 billion just for round numbers. 42 cents of every dollar they give to fema will have to be borrowed, bill. so we have to start making these choices. >> we don't have any money, but we got money for wars. in fact, we got $900 billion a week for what the hell is going on over in afghanistan. of course, who is brownie, anyway? i don't think most americans know what he's doing right now. 3 million americans are still without power. there's millions in damage and floodwaters are rising all along the eastern seaboard. they're worried about deficits, they're worried about budgets, they're not worried about people. with the republicans in the time of disaster, it's all about the money, isn't it? there were 700 boat rescues in the state of new jersey today. at this hour, about 1,000 families in wallington, new jersey have been evacuated because the river is scheduled to reach its crest. those folks, you know what they need? they need some help, and they're worried about
