hayes, host of msnbc's "up with chris hayes." chris broke the story over the weekend. thanks for being here, chris. what does the memo and rove's smear tell you about the right wing? >> i think what occupy wall street has been able to do in just two short months in terms of completely altering the focus of the national conversation, is really remarkable. two months ago we were talking about austerity, deficits, how government needs to cut and the last two months inequality, how big the financial system is, we've been talking about the banks getting away with essentially bankrupting the economy and moving on with big bonuses. the focus of the national conversation has really shifted and if you are sitting inside the american bankers' association or on the board of morgan chase or goldman sachs that has to start to worry you. >> do you think by they're now talking about gearing up to smear the occupiers, others of us in the movement, others like elizabeth warren they're of course trying to turn the debate back, which we've always k

hayes, host of msnbc's weekend morning show "up with chris hayes." thanks for being with me. he's my morning hope on saturdays and sundays. did we turn the tide this week or am i too hopeful? >> no, i think it was quite an indication -- here's what i would say the the electorate is not in the same place as a year ago. that i think is for sure. there was a genuine conservative feel to the electorate in 2010. if it was the same electorate in 2010 and they were in the same place, they would have ratified that issue in ohio on tuesday night. so i think there's a real marked differentiation between what we saw a year ago and where the electoral is now. in a bellwether state like ohio, and even in mississippi, which i think obviously isn't going to be up for grabs. so i think the mood of the country is quite different than when we saw it as sort of the high watermark of tea party, deficit mania, get government away. i think we have come down from that. >> i'm sensing in the base, because i travel a lot. last year in 2010, when i was traveling a lot, you co

from new york, i am chris hayes. we have democratic congressman, steve cohen, of tennessee, a columnist for the daily, and nbc contributor, melissa perry, and bob herbert, formally from the "new york times." if you are watching one of the other cable network, you may see a doomsday until the super committee blows the deadline, and at the risk of sounding like a news cable tech, i am rooting for failure. i think it will require more deficit sending in the short term, and we are up against an array of other factors, and history indicates that's what we need. but if the super committee succeeds and comes up with a way to reduty the deficit, it will involve major cuts in government spending, and major reductions involving kids, families and the elderly. if the plan fails to pass congress, it triggers a process which was part of the deal to get the debt ceiling passed. $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, half coming from spending programs excludeing medicaid and medicare, and it looks like we're going towards the latter. cong

today, a big story was broken by chris hayes about this memo drawn up for the american association of bankers by a d.c. lobbying group, that the group actually drew up a proposal of $850,000 that they wanted the banking lobby to commit to them to launch a campaign against occupy. so they're taking occupy very seriously and they're figuring a way to undermine them and to ward off any democratic politician connection to the movement leading into the next election cycle. so very, very interesting, even if there's no p.r. for the movement or no coordination, its opponents are very much worried about what the effect of this movement might be. >> it doesn't take an investigation to figure that out. all you have to do is watch the coverage on different networks and you can see what you're talking about. thank you, professor, we appreciate it. >> thank you, don. >>> next, the penn state sex abuse scandal. the mother of one of the alleged victims is speaking out.
