right? thanks for watching. see you at 10:00 p.m. eastern. here's morgan. starts now. tonight, is this the most dangerous man in the world? >> while using their imperialistic, they question any who questions the holocaust. >> mahmoud ahmadinejad came to meet the world's leaders. >> i wonder whether you're prepared to admit you are not perfect. >> everyone makes mistake. i'm certainly one of those many. i will certainly make a list, perhaps you specifically. >> i'll ask what does iran really want? plus a worldwide exclusive, saudi princess married to one of the richest man in the world, crusading for women's whites. >> cheating headlines. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman.

>> i've been unfaithful to my wife. >> i've exchanged photos of an explicit nature with about six women in the last three years. >> i've been unfaithful in a way that violates my obligation to my family or sense of right and wrong. >> what goes on behind closed doors? tonight, emmy winner, marianna margulies and "the good wife." this is piers morgan tonight. >> good evening. "new york times" columnist, nick christophe is here with me. first, we want to turn to a devastating day in the markets. asian stocks reacting, south korean shares down 3.5% and australian stocks down 2.05% and a huge recession and the dow dropping 391 points. nasdaq and s&p 500 didn't fare much better.

we had lots of turmoil but there is expectation from analysts and experts we could be heading to another form of recession. what's going on here? >> i think insecurities are feeding on each other and even though it's fixable in economic sense but maybe not political sense. our 401(k)s depend to some degree on agreeing parliamentarians to solve their political problems and our own problems in washington don't help that. >> there's a sense -- a real disconnect between politicians almost everywhere in the world and reality. is that the sense you're getting? >> yeah. certainly, the problems in this country were very much inflamed. you look at confidence levels in this country, they were hugely inflameded by the debt crisis in julie and the same thing is happening, i think, in europe. we essentially know how to fix

those problems. is there the will in germany and brussels and is there the will in greece and spain and italy? that is what is unclear right now and creating this anxiety in the markets. >> let's turn to the iranian president, mahmoud ahmadinejad, a fascinating character. i spent three hours with him today and you interviewed him earlier in the week. i found him almost mesmeric. there's a chats nobody really seems to like him, portrayed as dr. evil. in the flesh, i found him charismatic, smart, dealt with a lot of media figures, very adeptly, i thought, knew his brief, knows about world affairs, tferociously defensive about everything he's done and in the middle comes out with outrageous statements and creates headlines and is selfishly done.

what do you make of him? >> i have a different take. i think he has zero charisma. he's somebody who has this reputation for being a firebrand partly because he says these incredibly provocative things. i think he enjoys tossing hand grenades right and left. he's very subdued and multiples the way he speaks. he says things that seem so bizarre, so calculated. i asked him about the famous picture of annette ta sultan, the young iranian woman shot in the chest and lay bleeding. this was a moment he might have shown a certain amount of retie sense. instead, he concocted this tale how the bbc and his enemies somehow killed her in a snuff film. that seemeded the kind of thing that was -- >> you say that, he's like most des p despots he doesn't do anything wrong. i asked him that directly.

>> mr. president, could you tell me, what are the biggest mistakes you've made in your presidency? >> translator: i will make a list and make it available to you at the end of the meeting. >> give me the top three. >> translator: one of them is that i got to meet you quite late in the game. >> he doesn't -- i thought that was quite a funny answer. i said the reason i'm asking you because dick cheney, the vice president, recently wrote a book in which he went through eight years of running this country without ever making a mistake. i was curious, do you think you're perfect? ahmadinejad said, no, i don't think i'm perfect. throughout the course of the three hours it became clear he doesn't think he makes mistakes and absolute in everything he

said. i think one of the reasons he manages to inspire still large amounts of his country although his popularity is certainly waning he has an ability to rally them with his rhetoric, i felt. >> i'm wondering who was more offendered by that comparison, him or dick cheney. i think that he's on the defensive essentially internationally and at home. at home, he's on the defensive, losing power vis-a-vis their supreme leader ayatollah. made a power play, he was pushed down. he couldn't even get the hikers released when he said they would be. internationally, iran used to get a certain amount of credit basically for sticking their thumb in the eye of the american people and with arab spring, they don't have to turn to iran, people have other things to find pride and joy in. you look at the poll ratings for iran, they've gone down

considerably. i think he really is on the defensive and comes here partly to enjoy the limelight. >> he says the door isn't shut now getting back on terms diplomatically with the u.s. do you think that's a possibility? >> i don't know. he did make one important offer, olive branch. he said if the u.s. or other western powers will supply 20% enriched uranium, iran would stop that enrichment. there are a lot of reasons to be very skeptical, it's worth pursuing. that could be a real offer and something they refused to do in the past. we should pursue that. >> thank you very much. >> my pleasure. the arab springs resolution from tunisia to egypt, what would it be like in the middle east? a saudi prince told me this recently. >> we heard a lot lately about the right of women to drive in saudi arabia. the issue is a lot more deeper than having ladies only drive the car. we need ladies to have equal

rights like men. >> joining me now a woman who made that cause her own, on the boards of the bin talil foundation. thank you for joining me. >> thank you for having me. >> it's unusual to see a young saudi woman appearing on western television like this. how have you managed to break down these barriers? >> i guess two things, one being part of this generation, mult multilingual, globalized generation where we have global culture. second, i have great support. if you don't have support behind you, you can't do anything. my husband is incredible support for me. >> he's a remarkable man. i had him on this show. like a worldwind of energy and i do nammism. one of the richest men in the world and richest saudi in the world. the money doesn't seem to be the driving factor. wants to drive change. when i met you both, i had the

pleasure of meeting you both, i got the sense you're in this together. he employees other female staff now and wants to get you driving a car in saudi arabia, which at the moment, women can't do? >> yes. >> do you think it will happen soon? do you think the barriers are coming down fast enough? >> i hope they do. like you said, it's important to have men like my husband speak up not only in power but be public about. it he had the first female pilot. said if a woman can't drive in saudi arabia, she can fly. having more women in power is important, nevertheless, building civil society and those communities of women to speak up is important as well. a lot of saudi women want to drive. we all heard about that day. i know personally a lot of women who went out the drive, had the courage to drive. a lot of women wanted to drive but didn't want the chaos and unsafe environment they could drive in. i think a decision by the king is the best way to go with this, just like in the '60s with

education and now 60% of enrollment in university, even more than that are women. a decision has to be made, a systematic decision whereby it comes safety. >> can you drive? >> in saudi arabia? >> can you drive a car? have you had lesson zbls "love it or list it" everywhere i go. >> the only place you can't drive a car is in your country? >> in the desert i can. >> what are the things that really frustrate you about saudi arabia that you'd love to change? >> i wouldn't say frustrated. if we were frustrated, you wouldn't see us here. we see a channel. we see links, paths of change, a lot of reforms happening in the government with empowerment, equal rights, with a lot of things. our job as ngos is to help facilitate those changes and build civil society. one of the things we're doing at the foundation, we supported a program to actually help employee 600 women lawyers. we have -- we're blessed to have

women graduating from law including one of them is my sister. one of the things we're doing at the foundation, we created a workshop 600 women can gather together with another organization, learn about the tools to channel their voices and saying the wheel that je squeaks the most gets the grease, we're trying to get them to squeak evolutionary. >> can you appear like this on television in saudi arabia or would you have to be covered up? >> that's a tough question. i never appeared on saudi tv. nevertheless not because of the covering up story. i have no problem wearing that. i was raised with it. but nevertheless, i don't want to look in a certain way to please any else. this is me. i'm not doing this to sends a certain message. this is the way i am. >> when you're walking the streets of somewhere like new york, for example, you live a

very glamorous jet set lifestyle, all the places you go to outside of saudi arabia, women are free to be exactly how they would like to be. that's really where i'm getting at about the frustration. do you want the rate of change in saudi to be faster? are you impatient for that? >> i think the whole region is impatient. my grandmother told my mother step by step, my mother told me step by step. there's no way on earth will i tell my daughter step by step. we're impatient and want to change. nevertheless, we're very optimistic. 70% of bank accounts in saudi arabia are owned by a woman and highest rate of entrepreneurs in the northeast and middle africa region are inside saudi arabia, a lot of women in business and educational and health care sector. we're getting progress. i would like to see more progress in other fields like the legal sector. we're getting there. >> are women treated with more respect, do you think, as they

enjoy better education and encouraged to do so, is there a higher level of respect? >> i think this generation is different than any other generation other than the fact they're globalized and interconnected, they don't look at woman as their inferior, look at them as equal and one of the things that encouraged women in my society, the fact a lot of men in their family are supportive of them working, acquiring better education, even traveling on scholarships the king has made for a lot of women in saudi arabia. >> tell me about your husband. do you think he could ever end up running saudi arabia? >> my husband? >> yeah. >> i think that -- >> many people think he should be. >> i can never anticipate the future. all i can tell you is that he's already considered a role model and a leader. we need more leaders like him. >> how did you find bill clinton? >> incredible. he's an incredible man. he cares. he really wants to listen. he doesn't want to assume what are the solutions, how can we

help. yesterday, at the panel at the vital voices in the middle east panel, he was listening. >> what about president obama, because he attended something. >> he made a speech before that, another panel. i was a member of the audience there. impressive man. >> are you a fan of his? >> president obama? >> yeah. >> sure. >> do you think he's a force for good for women's rights in the world? >> the best thing president obama made is the american dream, is that message coming back again. we were very excited in saudi arabia. i think all the region to watch the elections when president obama won. for me, he's definitely a voice of hope and a voice of change. look at his wife, michelle, my god. she's incredible. yeah. >> i want to ask you about something in the news in the "new york times" in particular this week. you have a strong opinion about this. your husband has been linked with these old allegations.

he assaulted a model on a yacht in spain in 2008. >> yeah. >> what is your view of this? it seems a very odd story and he's provided plenty of documentation to say he wasn't anywhere near spain at the time. what would you like to say? >> i was with him the whole time. we were in another country when these supposed allegations happened. i was with him in caane and it's impossible for this to happen. like you said, it's very surprising for a credible newspaper to report such a story without investigation. >> has it been upsetting to you as his wife? >> yes. such allegations will not only harm a person, it will harm his wife, his kids, everything, everyone who cares for him will feel that pain. he built such a strong reputation, i don't think it will be shaken by this. at the end of the day, the rule of law. we'll see what the court says.

we're definitely 100% sure and all the documents are there for the media to see and we ask them to investigate. if you have something to hide, you wouldn't ask people to investigate. >> thank you very much. it's been a real pleasure. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for coming in. >> thank you so much. zb when we come back, what really goes on behind the scenes of political marriages? i'll talk to emmy winner julianna margulies of the good wife. hush, little baby ♪ ♪ don't you cry ♪ soon the sun ♪ is going to shine ♪ [ male announcer ] toyota presents the prius family. ♪ walk if i want, talk if i want ♪ [ male announcer ] there's the original one... the bigger one... the smaller one... and the one that plugs in. they're all a little different, just like us.

like, okay, it's worth it? >> honestly, i always feel like it's worth it. i've gotten very lucky with great writing and playing great characters and having people respond to these characters. i always feel like it's worth it. it's gratifying. it's one thing in this business to actually work. 5% of the screen actor's guild works and another to do work satisfying and work with people that are loving and to get accolades on top of it, it feels surreal, i keep saying to my husband, this isn't normal. we sort of came out of the gate and he didn't know the business. the first time out to l.a., we came back with a golden globe, truly, this doesn't happen. well, it's happening. i thought, i should hear it and enjoy it for a minute. i know it goes away like that. >> one thing about your part, she's getting ever more evil. i always liked evil characters.

you were taking it far too gently early on and then in this last season, you came into this grip of right. i'm taking no more of this doormat nonsense. >> i think evil might be a little bit of strong word. >> my initial thinking. >> i think what's happening now she's seeing being a good girl got her nowhere and she's seeing people's evil ways seem to constantly come into her existence and i think she has nothing to lose now so she's taking a little bit of darker road. >> are you a good girl in real life? >> i'm a real mix. i'm the kind of person who always has to be on time. i'm incredibly professional. i don't have a lot of stomach for people who don't show up to a set knowing their lines because you're keeping 150 people waiting. i like to have a good time and be mischievous also. >> i heard after the emmy, you had a late night? >> i did. my husband kept saying we have

the hollywood foreign press conference and have to be up by eight:00 and my husband said, you just won an emmy and we have to party. >> and your voice is still quirky. that's one hell of an evening. >> the music was loud and i was talking a lot. >> you said in your acceptance speech, you like being a good wife. >> i said i like being your good wife. >> people ask you ad nauseum, what does it mean to be a good wife? >> that's a very good question. for me, communicating completely honestly with your spouse so you're always on the same page and no miscommunication. that's a good marriage. >> on break, if you discovered your adonis-like husband was behaving like your on-screen husband, what would you do to him. just hold the thought however murderous it may be.

>> hey. you all right? >> wow! . that was some slap. even now you're cackling as you watch yourself do that. >> it sounded very loud over here. >> did you actually strike the poor man. >> i did. it was great. it was three times i struck him. i was on ""sex & the city"" six years, i've been hit many times. go for it. he didn't seem to mind. i heard robert and michelle king our executive producers and creators say, to him, that was her wake-up call, slapping him. >> a lot of parallels with 'the good wife" are drawn on real lifescandals, the eliot spitzer one and you said you remembered watching him give the press conference we showed at the top of the show and his wife next to him and how sorry you felt for

her and vowed this could never be a scenario you would find yourself in. >> i think every woman did at that point. watching eliot spitzer. >> lots of women stand by their man. you see it with everyone. what do you think of that? could you imagine doing that? would you stand by your man? >> i really think it would depend on the situation. honestly, if it was the kind of thing alicia florrick went through, if it was me personally, no, i wouldn't put myself through that humiliation. i wouldn't be able to stand at a podium knowing he slept with hookers and humiliated his entire family and how do you explain to your children you're still with a man like that. >> you came from a divorced background yourself. your parents split up when you were quite young. you said the reason you didn't marry until you were in your 40s, you didn't want to get it wrong like your parents. >> right. >> what were the memories you had of them splitting up and you came to the united states with your mother.

how much do you see of your father? >> when we were very little. my parents split when i was 1. it was a very amicable split, for the most part. my father moved to paris and my mom to keep us together, we moved there, to sussex. >> sussex. that's where i'm from. where did you go? what? i'm from a village 4 miles away. >> i went to school in forest row. >> you didn't? a mile from my village. hang on. you didn't ever go to that nightclub in east greenwich, did you? >> no. i left when i was 13. >> that could have been very awkward. i'm suddenly having flashbacks. how extraordinary. you're literally raised around the corner from me. >> i used to tell people. you go on the 822 and brink, you will miss it. >> how bizarre. we need a break after that. when we come back, i will bring

in your tv love interest, not the husband, but josh charles, dashes josh charles. i want to know how that last scene ended in the last season. the postal service is critical to our economy--

delivering mail, medicine and packages. yet they're closing thousands of offices, slashing service, and want to lay off over 100,000 workers. the postal service is recording financial losses, but not for reasons you might think. the problem ? a burden no other agency or company bears. a 2006 law that drains 5 billion a year from post-office revenue while the postal service is forced to overpay billions more into federal accounts. congress created this problem, and congress can fix it. is best absorbed in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily dose. citracal slow release... continuously releases calcium plus d

there's no doubt he'd be living a great life right now except for that he's dead. because when you're 14 years old, all you ever really want to be when you grow up is your 16-year-old brother. in my case, that meant smoking a lot of dope. >> that was josh charles talking on sports night. he's now joining julianna and i at this desk. the first question, i suppose for you, how did things end up when the hotel door shut at the end of last season, because your good friend here went on a tv show earlier this week and said things got steamy. what does that mean exactly? >> i think people will find out soon enough on sunday night on cbs. >> there are allegations we see your butt, is this correct? >> allegations. >> that's what i'm hearing. >> david letterman is obsessed with asking what we would see. he kept saying your butt? are we going to see your butt? no. you might see some thigh.

>> a little bit of thigh. no butt. >> no butt at all? not a glimmer? >> i don't think so. >> even a suggestion will drive ratings. >> i don't know if there's any butt. >> it's steamy. >> how much do you enjoy this show? it seems to me you've got the most brilliant cast you could possibly have. every time i think you can't improve on it, they hire lisa edleston from "house" or michael j. fox. it's brilliantly written with great characters. >> absolutely brilliantly written and we have a great talent pool here and our casting director, mark, does a brilliant job bringing people here and they're here and want to work and the kings wright beautifu y -- write beautifully. >> my big issue with you, josh, you tweeted two weeks ago, i'm so glad arsenal won today

because piers morgan will be in a good mood thursday when julianna and i do his show. i didn't even know you knew what arsenal was. >> how could i not know, following you on twitter, all you talk about. >> they're having the worst season ever, a good time to start supporting it. >> that doesn't scare me away. i want to gather all the information, as you accuse me earlier, not flirting with which team. >> you're a baltimore ravens fanatic. >> yes, i do. >> you should understand the pain i'm going through. >> the ravens are good. oriole, that would be a more apt -- >> do you like twitter? you're not on twitter, you're an e-mail and text person. >> e-mail and text. >> why don't you like the whole social network? >> not that i don't like it. i'm a mother of a 3-year-old, and work 12 hours a day and i have no time. >> you have a half hour.

>> i don't know how people have time. >> you met one of your heroes, nick kristof, he often tweets in realtime. it's become the new form of information to the public from reporters like him. >> i said last night, we were at work and i was following the troy davis story while we were filming. while i was following all these people's tweet, i realized for the first time what twitter was about and feeling that humanity coming through my iphone hard to believe. >> did you see what he was doing, self-imploding, i love the visceral rage, i love the fact that twitter allows somebody like him to break his spleen over a big news story. extraordinary to read, took everybody down. >> isn't there a danger with tweeting, like drunk dial, excellent a drunk tweet danger?

>> snoorvelgts even worst dangers than that. should be certain rules. never get on after two drinks, never get on after midnight and never follow an ex girlfriend top of the list, don't you? >> absolutely. >> josh, tell me about your real life, are you as pathetically unlucky in real life as on-screen? >> actually, no. i have a beautiful girlfriend. >> thank god for all that. the endless misery you have to go through on the show. seriously. he's such a good looking smart guy. why can't he keep a girl? what's wrong with him. that's what happens after a while. what's wrong with him? >> i know. >> things are better? >> things are better for me than will gardner. >> is she comfortable with the steamy love scenes about to unfold on the nation? >> my girlfriend, sophie it's not only steamy, she wants to see it. >> your husband, you banned from watching? >> no. i said i think the first episode

might be steamier than i thought. he said, good, i'll send sophie flowers. >> that's part of it. jules and i go back. we're so comfortable together. i think it makes it really easy. we have great partners that understand what we do. >> we're all friends. we go out to dinner together. >> friends and partners, we will bring out two more. kristin and alan cumming. ♪

what do you think? >> i think you're holding something against her.

>> i'm what? >> alicia. maybe it's unconscious, maybe it's not, but you're being hard on her? >> christine baranski in 'the good wife", joins me will alan cumming. welcome both of you. this is what i like about this particular part of the show. you've been married very contendly to one man the last 30 years. >> 27. who's counting. >> the perfect personification of a long lasting happy monogamous marriage. you, alan. >> i knew you were going to me. >> you said "i don't believe monogamy is feasible" and married to a woman and a man? >> not at the same time. >> your show is littered with the opposite of monogamy. everyone is at it. let's have the monogamy debate. let's go at it first.

why is monogamy not feasible with a glittering example next to you? >> as man, i didn't feel my gender is particularly attuned to be monogamous. as a male animal, i don't think we are made to be monogamous. >> really? >> yes. >> you can get away with that? how would your girlfriend treat you coming back home and saying, i'm an animal and i can't be monogamous. >> such a loaded question. >> wow, piers -- art nal is playing saturday, you said, right? >> i don't think it's -- our show is based on a lack of monogamy. the whole notion for our show, so much of art, so much of stuff you talk to people across this table about this is fact monogamy isn't working. the biggest thing -- not the fact monogamy isn't feasible, we don't think that, you know, sexual infidelity, we think that's the worst betrayal, actually, i think there are much

worse ways you can betray your partner than that. >> do you? >> like betraying in friendship or their trust. if we were -- >> cheating on them is betraying their trust. >> if you think about this as a physical thing, a desire we heavy and we can't -- if you're kind with it, maybe it will be okay. if we as a culture conditioned to think that's something like in france maybe it happens we deal with it and brush it into a place we're all able to not let it despair us and be okay with maybe we would be able to have happier lives. >> christine. >> i think a big factor is when you have children and you're raising a family. staying together, i think the greatest gift matthew and i gave our kids was staying together and working things out. it can be really hard and you endlessly shifting your way. we have two grown daughters and they seem to be both in wonderful relationships.

it isn't even a question of monogamy or not. this really makes sense to make this work. >> do you understand why -- >> it feels good because it makes your children happy. >> do you understand how her chats would stand by her man? >> yes. you asked julianna about the women who stand by their men instead of deserting them. i think a big factor, for instance, silda, she had two daughters of an age to really know what was going on. i think she probably just, you know, closed ranks and said, we're going to get through this as a family with as much dignity as we can rather than talk to the press, make a dramatic exit, whatever, you notice that woman got very quiet and dignified. i saw her at an event. she was so beautifully dignified. i think she did that for her kids. >> there's also the worry if that happens, your hair will change because i don't know forever you realized it in the new season of good wife, since

it's been changed to julianna's chats, her hair has changed. >> and your hair has changed and you're the one dishing out hair advice. >> not advice, on television, if you get some action, you get a different hairdo. >> very so observant. >> what i love about your character, based on rahm emanuel, the former white house chief of staff for barack obama and eli gold 'the good wife" and the link is ari is emanuel's brother. the evil axis. >> who's one left out? he doesn't have any tv show? >> i think that must be awful. >> your character is wonderful. >> or amazing. >> do you think he's inherently an evil person? >> no, not at all.

he's got hisself and he has humor to him. >> hasn't he? wouldn't he in the end do anything for political gain? >> yes. he still has a chink in his armor. 92 does . >> does he have a moral compass? >> yes. just slanted a little further. >> you will see his ex-wife. you get to see a whole different side of him, which is really exciting. >> you are fascinating. you have gotten an ex-wife. >> in real life. >> in real life you have gone through a civil partnership. >> i have a husband. >> that's unusual. talk to me about that. >> what would you like to know, piers? >> i don't know. whatever you think i should know. >> i saw them kissing at the emmy's. >> did you really? >> mfg. >> yes. >> he gave me a conciliatory -- >> you givesnog. >> gave wonderful interviews, came out as a bisexual, saying i like women and men. are you sure now you're on the

thing that just covers up a lot of real homophobihomophobia. >> i think america has moved past it i do. >> i sense they are moving past t. >> i think the tea party is out of touch with america, the sad thing. >> piers: have a good break, come back and talk about the new season of "the good wife." i want to know the gory details what can we look forward to including the ongoing debate about whether there is any butt a action. if there is, i'm watching it. o0 [ telephone rings ] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa auto repair. gary... he hung up. ...why do we have so many a's in our name? so we're listed first in the phone book. ya know, gives us an edge. you know fedex can, give us an edge. how? well, fedex ships auto parts from factories around the world,
