on servicemen, he did NOT degrade them and you know it or should. He apologized and explained that he meant that he was worried that war was being romanticized again. one suicide a week bec of unnecessary wars which are all about "American interests" which in the middle east means a 3 letter word... OIL !! If we hadn't beentooling around outer space 50 yrs we cld've used brain power to truly invest in alternatives. We cld land on the moon, unfathomable, yet still filthy fossel fuels??

I often watch Chris Hayes on MSNBC, and am curious about his new book. But during this promo I must admit that the most fascinating discovery was that he has chest hair.

Can't wait to read. Best of wishes to you, yours, and theirs. Nice to know of someone who is not afraid of thinking while standing!

Chris Hayes is profoundly unintelligent. The man has a bachelor's degree in PHILOSOPHY and he thinks he's qualified to degrade our servicemen and women. This book doesn't even make any fucking sense it's the LIBERAL ELITE not the conservative elite. Pseudo-intellectuals really are funny.

(I don;t try to watch videos on a PC anyway. As a retired BSEE I know the numbers DON'T WORK) Transcripts only - sorry.

As 4 the book, because I like and consider him intelligent, I desperately hope Chris realizes that the very concept of meritocracy in America is a well-proven and documented MYTH.

It's well explained in Matt Miller's book "The Tyranny of Dead Ideas."

I'm on the west coast so I have to DVR your show every weekend. It's my favorite of all the MSNBC shows. Keep up the great work.
