let's bring in jim moore. he is an author of a forthcoming book, "why rick perry will make america miss george w. bush." let's focus on this heartless comment for a moment. why didn't he walk it back sooner? it wasn't until governor christie got after him in a speech last night that he turned the tide on it. is he afraid of christie? >> no, but he is afraid of offending the people that might be attracted to christie as a candidate. i think the news that everybody missed in the media is this is the first time in a 27-year career that rick perry has apologized for anything. and people who control the primary process, you can't have a heart and offer health care as romney did in massachusetts and you can't have a heart and offer tuition to kids in the state of texas if they're children of illegal aliens. but one thing i want to make really clear, this is not a subsidy. these kids are getting in-state tuition. they've lived here for three years. if you're an out of state sued and you come here and live here for a

next, jim moore provides the perry analysis. president obama and governor rick perry have big nights back to back, and it may be a preview of what we'll see if they ever go face to face. liz winstead and mike pap antonio will give commentary on that. >>> it is a ponzi scheme to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today you're paying into a program that's going to be there. anybody that's for the status quo with social security today is involved with a monstrous lie to our kids. >> every talk show in america was on that sound byte today. that was rick perry, tossing out red meat to the base last night. the republican presidential frontrunner didn't shy away from his previous claims that social security is what he calls a ponzi scheme. in fact, it's catching fire. and sure enough, rush limbaugh, fox news, they are the cheerleaders and they're eating it up. >> i want to applaud perry for hanging in, sticking with it. he wrote the book, fed up, has the description in the book of social security as a ponzi scheme. how can it no

let's bring in jim moore, author of "adios mofo." where rick perry will make america miss george bush. i'm not familiar with rick perry, he sits there in that easy way in that texas, persuasive manner. how is he going to do in the debate? now there's questions he's going to show up because of the wildfires that are taking place in texas. what do you think is going to unfold? >> we heard late this afternoon that he was going to make the trip out there. i think from a political standpoint it's a good move. it will look like he's a guy that can manage disaster and talk to the public. i think he's going to do very well in the debate. he's one of those guys that doesn't try to win a debate, but he tries to not lose a debate. you'll see a very disciplined message guy who's going to say the same thing over and over regardless of the question. i think he will do quite well, and i expect him to be there. >> he bullet pointed his answer when it came to the economy. here's romney waiving a 150-page booklet. and here's rick perry, keep it simple

joining me is jim moore, the author of ""adios." these expenses, first of all, what do you make of the meeting between rupert murdoch and the governor of texas? how important was this? >> when i first heard about that, i was thinking maybe he's setting him up for a television program after he loses the election. who knows? obviously this is a guy whose favor he wants to curry. murdoch's reach in this country obviously with fox news, his network, his publications is very wide and he wants to curry favor with him. anything that the fox network broadcasts, perry wants it to be good news. he doesn't want anything to be critical. i think it's a combination of things. he's got a lot of friends who can raise a lot of money as well as exposing rick perry to a lot of positive publicity. >> well, last week it was donald trump in new york with governor perry. and i think that was all about the governor saying, hey, dude, don't go on tv and bad-mouth me, i'm one of the good guys, i'm going to lower your taxes. now here he is meeting with rupert

joining me now is jim moore. he is a "huffington post" contributor. "why rick perry will make america miss george w. bush." steve kornacki, political columnist for salon.com. is it history for rick perry? is it over for him? >> i wouldn't go that far just because of the poll you just showed there, he's still up. i'm really curious to see another poll when it takes into account not just the debate or so but the week or so that's followed it. you look at that clip you showed in the debate, you look at the result from florida, i think both of those are very strong signs that at the very least we could say, this guy is totally failing to live up to his potential. because the promise of the rick perry candidacy to republicans was, he could pull off that line, he could confront mitt romney on these crimes against conservatism, he could speak for the base. instead he flubbed it. the promise of rec perry was all these second-tier conservative true believers, the michele bachmanns, the herman cains, the rick santorums, they go away because now the base has som

thanks for visiting today. >> thank you. >>> virginia senator jim webb has been grappling with all of these issues. senator webb thank you for joining us from the hill. alan simpson says $4 trillion for the supercommittee to come up with if the real problems that we face down the road are going to be dealt with, not immediately but in terms of phasing in these cuts. is that even possible, given the current climate in congress? >> we're obviously going to have some pretty strong debates on where taxes would be and where cuts would come from. i do not believe we should be increasing ordinary earned income taxes on any level. i think there are places for us to be able to get money from changing things like capital gains tax and the loopholes and those sorts of things that have existed in our tax code, but the number one reality that we're facing here is you cannot bring more jobs. you can't do these things without growing our economy, and we can't grow our economy unless we have greater capital investment, and there are a lot of reasons we're not getting the capital right now. one is bus

hi gregg. >> senator jim demint went on to say with all respect, mr. president, we're tired of your speeches and maureen dowd a. humorous columnist of the new york post put it this way and i'll quote her, p*pl is still suffering from the speech illusion, the idea that he can come down from the mountain, read from the telecaster, scurry down from the mountain rand do what we proclaimed, in a way, does she have a point. >> it's tough times from barack obama when maureen turns against you, a a devout liberal. he's getting hit from both sides, no question about what. -- about it. you heard from jim demint says, there's not a lot new here, what the president is proposing is basically the old gifts in new wrapping paper. what you just expressed is that liberals are very frustrated with the president and he's being pulled in two directions. the liberals want him to go big, they want him to go radical with another half trillion dollars of spending, republicans said wait a minute, that didn't work the first time. >> i want to take a look at a fox news poll, we'
