Joe Scarborough kicks off the conversation by reading a substantial portion of vanden Heuvel's new blog post and then does his best "clueless suburban dad" when she suggests that restoring regulation will necessary before we can rebuild our broken economy. Thomas Freidman adds that regulations must appropriately price the financial and environmental risks that have put the world in peril. The segment runs into the commercial time (as evidenced by the Tom Petty song that begins playing in the background after the six minute mark) when Scarborough tries to tie vanden Heuvel to "Euro capitalism... Euro zone--that's not a dirty word?" Nope, it's two words.
