"hannity" starts right now. welcome to "hannity." we're broadcasting from addison, texas, tonight. rick perry announced he is

running for the white house. he will be our guest tonight for the entire hour. but first here's how it all went down earlier today. >> i know that america has experienced great change. but what it means to be an american has never changed. we are a resilient country. you think about who we are. we've been through a civil war. we've been through two world wars. we've been through a great depression. we even made it through jimmy carter. we will make it through the obama years. we will do this. we get back up. we dust ourselves off. we move forward. and you know what? we will do it again. to the 1 in 5 children who are on food stamps the 1 in 10 workers who are unemployed underemployed or giving up hope of finding a job, i hear you. you are not forgotten. we have the power to make things new again.

to project america's strength again, and to get our economy going again. and that is exactly why today i am running for the presidency of the united states of america! >> joining us now, 2016 presidential candidate, former texas governor rick perry, your governor. [ cheers and applause ] great to see you. you said in your speech today, we don't need to settle. we don't need to apologize. for american exceptionalism. we don't need to settle for slow growth. we don't need to settle for debt. we don't need to rob our kids. you're going to stop this theft. americans are in a tough spot now. >> there is reason for americans

to be pessimistic. but we're a resilient people. we have been through a lot of tough things together a civil war, two world wars, a great depression. i share with people you know we made it through jimmy carter we'll make it through the obama years. but is that sense of who we are. what we've been through. we're resilient. we can make it through anything. and it is -- america is an exceptional country. we ought to be proud and never apologize. we ought to be america again. >> you ran in 2012. and the last time i interviewed you, you said you weren't ready. you even said, and i never heard a politician saying you were arrogant and you said you prepped for 3 1/2 years. >> i knew if i was going to give myself the opportunity to run for the presidency i had to be prepared. this isn't just something that comes by reading a book. there's extraordinary amount of

preparation that requires whether it's monetary policy domestic policy whether it's foreign policy yes, executive experience is important. the things that you learn being an executive, you know whether it's a space shuttle disintegration hurricane katrina, rita ike, ebola, the border crisis all of those help build a foundation of a leader. but the preparation on thing that you don't deal with every day, as i think where you're going to see, and you have seen the real change in the maturity of my process of being ready to be the commander in chief on day one. >> big difference between now and 2012. >> oh absolutely. >> you said leadership is not a speech on the senate floor. executive experience matters. i think maybe some of your opponents in this primary race might take that as a shot. what did you mean? >> i never mean that to be a shot. there's amazing talent out there. look at the men and women who have announced they're going to run for the candidacy probably will. this is a very very talented field.

what i mean is we need to look at the full record of people who want to be the commander in chief. we just had 6 1/2, will have had 8 years of a young inexperienced united states senator. i happen to think, and i think most people agree, we're paying a huge price economically and certainly on the world stage today from an inexperienced individual. it isn't what you say, about what you do. let's look at people's records. let's look at their experience. whether you're having heart surgery or getting on an airplane i think you want the most experienced people in either one of those. why not have the most experienced person you can have as the leader of this country. >> you said show me don't tell me. where have you led? you said that will define this entire race. tell us your texas story. >> i laid that out for the folks in the speech as well when we talked about americans have seen me leading before. they saw me lead when the space shuttle disintegrated over east texas. they saw me lead when multiple

hurricanes came into this country. they saw me lead when i opened up this state to massive amounts of people from louisiana, when that governor called and said i've got to move these people, can you handle them. i didn't call people and say, can we handle them i said send them. when ebola came on to the united states it happened to be in dallas texas. they saw how we responded to that. how dr. breshwoir and david laky they took the lead on that. and they gave confidence that there was competency in texas to deal with that. on the border when the president of the united states even refused to come see the challenge that we had, that president then in turn saw that there can be a real leader. this is the way that you lead. i deployed our national guard. i made sure that our people were safe. that's what i mean with here is a record of leadership. it's not about a speech. it's not about here's would do. here's what i have done.

>> let me ask you about immigration. it became an issue in 2012. because i was down at the border with you. the president didn't go to that security briefing. i sat in that briefing with you. i've been down to the border at least a dozen times. >> yes, sir. >> up close and personal. i've seen the problem. one issue that came up in 2012 it was a bit of an issue for you, and the kids of illegals to have later in-state tuition rates. where do you stand on that now in this primary? >> every state has to deal with these issues that they face by virtue of what washington has put into place. whether it's health care whether it's education reforms, all of those have to be dealt with state by state. texas looked at this issue, and they made that decision. overwhelmingly made that decision. but here's the more important thing for me. all of these issues are secondary to securing a border. if you do not have the will and

secure this border these issues are never going to be addressed, or never going to be fixed, if you will. that's what i promised the american people. i know how to do this. one of the first things we will do is to clearly put a plan in place to secure that border. put the personnel on the border. the strategic fencing, the aviation assets so that that 1,800-mile border is secure and the american people will know that it's secure. and at that particular point, then we can have a conversation about how immigration reform needs to be conducted, and what have you. but not until then. i mean i just flat refuse to have a conversation about all of these various issues that are out there until americans are satisfied, that there is a president that understands one thing, you cannot have national security until you have border security. >> governor we'll get into all national security issues your

plan for the economy, we'll talk about some of your opponents, and maybe on the democrat and republican side. i want to ask you this. you are still under indictment. i've interviewed you about it. you're fierce in defending yourself. but it's still a challenge as a presidential candidate. what do you say to people that will bring that up on the campaign trail? >> i have full confidence that the court's going to rule in our favor. >> explain the case though. this is involving -- >> this was a district attorney who has oversight for all statewide elected officials, the most blue area of the state of texas. this is a radical democrat area of the state. this agency has been headed up by a district attorney who was stopped on a dwi. i think blew almost three times the legal limit. and $7.5 million of state funding go to that agency. i completely lost confidence that that individual should have control of that money. i said that that particular point in time i lost faith in

the state dollars would go there. and it was the pe rog tiff of the governor to veto a piece of legislation and line item for any reason. and i did it. >> and her being belligerent with a police officer. >> overwhelming evidence of this individual certainly lost my confidence and i think lost the confidence of -- the video speaks for itself. i would do what i did again, based on the same. the travis county district attorney dealt with that. here's the more important issue. i have full confidence in the courts they'll going to deal with this. we're talking about the future of america, how to get this country back working giving americans confidence that the person in the white house understands what they've been through. and a boy who grew up in a house that still used an outhouse my mom bathed us in a number two wash tub. i understand what working men and women are going through today. i understand we've got to get this corporate tax rate lowered, so that we can bring jobs back

on shore. so that the working men and women, the union members can see their wages raised. use american energy to create a renaissance and manufacturing arena like we've never seen before. that's what americans really care about. that's what i'm going to stay focused on. >> more with governor perry when we come back. and next right here on "hannity." >> weakness at home has led to weakness abroad. the world has descended into a chaos of this president's own making. >> we're going to ask governor perry when we come back what his foreign policy policy will be, if he's elected the next commander in chief. you, our viewers, you get a chance to get in on the action. you've been sending in questions on facebook twitter, all day long. we'll ask the governor some of those questions, and much more as we continue tonight from addison, texas. of those questions and much more as we continue tonight from addison, texas. shopping online... ...is as easy as it gets. wouldn't it be great if hiring plumbers

it's led to weakness abroad. the world has descended into a chaos of this president's own making. while his white house loyalists, they construct an alternative universe where isis is contained, that ramadi is merely a setback, where the nature of the enemy can't be acknowledged for fear of causing offense. where the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, iran can be trusted to live up to a nuclear agreement. >> governor rick perry earlier today talking about the dangers that we face today because of the obama administration's

failed foreign policies. we continue with the governor. all right. if we were going to lay out the biggest threats that we face, you talked about iran today. you said your first item agenda if you became president, is -- >> to rescind that agreement, if the president does sign that allows a nuclear iran. all that will do is guarantee the development of a sunni bomb which at that particular point will make the entire middle east an incredibly dangerous place. it's already a dangerous place, but this will make it an even substantially more dangerous place. so sending a clear message that we are not going to allow a rogue nation like iran -- i mean this is the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world. these are the people that murdered our marines in beirut. they supplied the weapons, sean that killed our soldiers in iraq. this is a country that literally in the last six weeks, we had a naval blockade keeping their weapons from going to the houthi

rebels. how can we trust these people with a nuclear agreement. stopping that. but it's also sending a message to our allies in that region saudi arabia egypt, turkey israel they will clearly see that there is a president that they can count on again. someone who understands how to connect the dots. because when you think about libya, egypt, syria, and then obviously as vladimir putin was watching all of this his move into crimea and into the ukraine, clearly was because they realized that this is not a president that's willing to stand up and support the allies in the region. >> add to that now we have the chinese and their territorial ambitions emerging. >> an entire region of the world, the south china sea in particular i'll suggest to you that both with north korea, with china, and certainly the aggressive stance that china's taken with these islands, we

need to be developing not only a clear message in that part of the world, for instance with india. i don't think we've spent the time and effort with india to build a relationship there. we had the opportunity to -- they wanted to buy fighters from us. they ended up buying french mirages. this administration again, i think it's a lack of experience and i think it's a lack of being able to connect the dots in different parts of the world about what effect decisions that we make are having on entire regions. this focus on getting an agreement with iran is overshadowing every decision in the middle east. and i think one of the reasons that you see isis now controlling more land in the united kingdom, taking over cities that our young men and women died for, that goes back to a decision that this president has made and a bad decision that he's going to get a deal with iran. he's going to be the president to sign a deal. no one else could sit and

negotiate with these guys i can. that mentality is dangerous. >> it's very interesting, and you talked about both vietnam and the 5,000 americans -- nearly 5,000 that lost their lives in iraq the tens of thousands that were injured here every presidential candidate's been asked the question knowing what you know now, i wonder if that's really the right question. would we go into iraq. you've answered it publicly. so i know your answer. is the better question knowing what we know now, was it right to pull out of iraq that allowed ramadi and mosul and fallujah and tikrit to fall to isis? >> you're absolutely correct. i'm not going to try to get into people's heads and question why they asked that question of all the republican candidates. but you're totally spot-on. the proper question in today's world is knowing what you know today, madam secretary, mr. president, would you have pulled

those troops out of iraq in 2009. >> i agree with you. knowing the threat of radical islam and isis how would a president perry deal with this. >> what is the best way deal with this? >> the americans are concerned about their safety at home now. we've seen isis inspired individual show up in garland, texas. we have reports of these other individuals right here in our homeland. obviously having the ability to track these individuals, to know how they're communicating, who they're communicating with is an important part of a strategy. the other strategy is obviously offshore. and it is in the middle east with our allies. it is putting together a coalition with jordan with saudi arabia with turkey with egypt, with israel with our allies in that region. and to ferret out both with our intelligence capability and obviously with our military ability to go in and literally eliminate isis.

we can do this. >> you talked about data gathering, which we've now had a big debate in the house and senate. i talked to jim sensenbrenner, he wrote the patriot act. he told me the patriot act specifically prohibited the data mining that has been going on. where do you come down on that in the fourth amendment? >> well there's been a balancing act since this country was founded. by our civil liberties, and keeping our country safe. and it hasn't changed in all of these years. so finding the balance, so that the average citizen knows that when they're talking to their wife or their business acquaintance it's not being lin washington, d.c. if there's an agency doing that we need to be able to prosecute them with the most powerful arm we have in our government. and make them pay a price for it. but on the other side of that we need to be able to -- we need to be smart enough to use our

technology to listen in when people are going to try to do harm to our citizens. coordinate between agencies of government. one of the things that we found out after 9/11 was, we weren't talking to each other. and we made some great strides in local law enforcement, being able to talk to federal law enforcement, being able to talk to the military. i would suggest to you there's probably some still areas of coordination that we could do there, sean that could help us. americans should never wonder whether or not the federal government is digging around in their irs records, for political reasons, or whether they're listening in on conversations. this administration has done a lot to really hurt people's faith in government. i want to get back to a time when we trust government. the government's there to protect us. and not have to be looking out over our shoulder all the time about what government's doing to us. >> you talked about government intrusion a lot in this speech.

we'll talk about that when we get back. we'll continue with governor perry. in texas here tonight right on "hannity." >> it's time to create real jobs to raise wages, to create opportunity for all. to give every citizen a stake in this country. to restore hope real hope. real hope to forgotten americans. >> up next former texas governor rick perry will explain how he plans to turn around the ailing economy. and we'll ask you some of the questions you've sent us on facebook and twitter, what he thinks about, well maybe hillary clinton and some of his republican rivals all coming up straight ahead. hillary clinton and some of his republican rivals. that's all coming up, straight ahead.

every president before him combined. 50 million americans, nearly 50 million in poverty. 93 million americans out of the labor force. we've had 46 million americans for 40 consecutive months that were on food stamps. this is a daunting economic problem. and on top of that $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. how would you get this economy back on track? >> that's in my remarks. this is going to be a show me don't tell me election. you have to look at people's records. it's not going to be good enough to say, here's what i would do. i think you've got to look at here's what i have done. there is a model for this country that i think, if you will put the tax and regulatory policies into place, that we put into the 12th largest economy in the world, over the last 14 years in texas, and it is unquestionable that it was successful. and that's the kind of leadership we need in this country. to be able to lower that

corporate tax rate to be able to use the energy policies to be able to reduce those regulations that give disincentives for people to work. and the president has the ability to do that. work with congress. i'll find those economic ways to reach across the aisle and work with the democrats and the republicans. >> as governor of texas, how many jobs did you create? and how did you create them? >> well the business men and women of texas saw that they weren't going to be overtaxed, overregulated. we have the most sweeping reform in the nation. sean we went from 27th in the nation in high school graduation rates in 2003 to second highest graduation rates. as a matter of fact if you're hispanic in texas you are living in a state with the highest graduation rate in america. those four things together sent the message to men and women who risk their capital, that they would have a good chance to have a return on their investment. they wouldn't be spending too much time at the courthouse. they could find the health care

affordable. that they knew that the skilled work force, when toyota moved their north american headquarters out of torrence california they did their homework. they came to see if their skilled work force was going to be there. apple, ebay facebook all of those companies that came to texas, and expanded they did their homework. >> for a while i was beginning to think you were a new yorker. you were up there -- you were up in new york a lot. >> well i was. >> lobbying companies to move down here. >> competition is a good thing. rick scott was doing the same thing for the last four years in the state of florida. bobby jindal was doing the same thing. nicky haley -- >> i felt like they were all my governor. >> that's the beauty of this whole tenth amendment and getting these states to compete against each other. and giving them the freedom to. you can't expect washington, d.c. to come up with one size fits all education policy. that's the reason i'm against common core. leave it to the states to come up with the health care

policies the education policies the transportation policies that will make their states be more competitive. and then people will decide where they want to live. >> how do we end -- if this president -- the numbers are pretty clear, he will have accumulated as much debt if not more than any other president of him before combined. growing the economy will get people back to work. >> you've got to cut spending too. it's the two things. >> when you cut spending you talk about eliminating baseline budgeting. >> i've been through this before. in 2003 texas had a $10 billion budget shortfall. in 2011 we had a over $25 billion budget shortfall. i understand the pain of cutting. but if we're going to get this country back on track, we're going to have to have someone that's honest with americans, that we're going to have to cut spending make changes in the entitlement programs. but we can do this. but you send that message.

americans will have faith again that they can risk their capital and expand and grow the economy. >> you've become president, and the plan specifically is on day one, you're going to outline this this and this as my goal and we're going to get this done. >> i will. but it's a little early in this process to be laying out those four things. >> what about -- >> listen i think there are lots of good ideas out there. what we have to do is get the american people to really believe that there is a president of the united states that will lead them that has the experience to put those changes into place, that knows how to lead an economy. i put my record out against anybody out there. the 12th largest economy in the world. i had the privilege to be the chief executive of that for the last 14 years. and it is unquestionable 1.5 million jobs created. and we had the most powerful economic story to tell in this country, period.

>> you balanced the budget how many years? >> 14 years. >> and do you think as president you can balance a budget and how long would it take? >> i don't know how long it would take. but you can certainly balance a budget. it can be done. you've got to have a plan in place, and you have to have somebody that's got the will and has had the experience to do it. >> entitlements on the table? >> absolutely. they have to be on the table. we have to -- -- we have to be thoughtful about it. there are a lot of different ways to address the issue of entitlement. we'll address that.ge needs to be, we can do this. we've been down before. i mean 1979 we've had our grain embargo, we had our kids boycotted from going to the olympics. we had our lowest participation rate in the work force. we had our hostages in iran at our embassy. and ten years later we saw the berlin wall fall. soviet communism defeated.

because we elected a president that believed the world is safer when the country is strong. >> more with governor perry. coming up next tonight here on "hannity." >> the question of every candidate will be this. when have you led? leadership is not a speech on the senate floor, it's not what you say, it is what you have done. >> coming up next governor perry will react to the growing gop presidential field. we'll ask why he thinks he is the most qualified to be the next commander in chief. ask the former governor some questions. that and much more and what he thinks about hillary. as we continue from the great state of texas straight ahead. king the former governor questions. that and much more and what we thinks about hillary as we continue from the great state of texas. straight ahead.

sighted proven leadership. we have seen what happens when we elect a president based on media acclaim rather than a record of accomplishments. this will be a show me don't tell me election where voters look past the rhetoric to the real record. the question of every candidate will be this. when have you led? leadership is not a speech on the senate floor, it's not what you say, it is what you have done. >> that was governor rick perry, explaining earlier what he thinks voters are going to be looking for in a candidate in the 2016 election. very clear about that. we have a big, big field here. jeb bush announced today -- >> a talented field. is a very talented group of

men and women. some that i know very well. carly and i have done a lot of projects together when we were moving hp out of california to texas. carly was the ceo of the company. and a texas born young lady by the way. >> yeah. >> and i'm a fan of lindsey graham. i think lindsey is the only other person who has worn the uniform much the country. >> took a cheap shot at me. >> i'll give him good advice. don't take cheap shots. >> that is good advice. let's talk a little bit about this field. you've got fellow senator ted cruz. thoughts? >> smart as a -- whip smart. one of the great debaters of all-time. a really good man. a man whom i admire. he's doing a great job in the united states senate. an incredibly bright capable

patriot. >> you made the distinction that executive experience you think is going to matter here. you've got ted cruz rand paul, marco rubio. strong conservative senators. you like them all. you're friends with all of them. >> they all have a very, very important role to play. but government's kind of one of the only places where experience gets downgraded. again, i go back to that analogy i used that you're going to fly from dallas to london do you want to get on an airplane that's got a very high time seasoned pilot, or somebody who gives a heck of a speech and can tell you about the aerodynamics but only has 150 hours of flying that particular airplane? you're going to have your family in the most experienced position they can be. and that's the reason i tell people let's really have this conversation. not who gives the most explosive speech and maybe has you on the edge of your chair, but who is it that really has a record and

has a proven record of success of getting jobs created. because i will tell you, that happens to be job one. >> you have fellow governors, former governors, jeb bush scott walker john kasich maybe bobby jindal or mike pence, what do you say that your experience is better? 12th largest economy -- >> all really good individuals, who i admire greatly. great competitors. but 14 years of managing the 12th largest economy in the country. stack our records up put '07, december of '07 to december of 2014. 1.5 million jobs created during the worst depression this country's had since the great depression. >> how many jobs did the country create at that time? >> they lost 400,000. without texas, america would be 400,000 jobs in the red today. by the end of 2014. my point is listen these are

very very talented people that i greatly admire. let's look at the record. >> let's go to some of the social issues. abortion? >> i'm pro-life. >> you said recently i know the media is asking every republican about gay marriage you said you would attend a gay marriage if invited. >> yes. but i'm for traditional marriage. those are issues that need to be left to the states. i think america will be happier if they will let those contentious social issues be directed state by state. >> you said that about colorado and marijuana. >> i did. listen i disagree with some of these positions, whether they're on the social issues or whether they're issues on medical side with marijuana. i think colorado will look back in five to ten years and say, you know what we probably didn't think this through well enough. and they're already hearing that about young people and the access. i had a family who came up to me and said you know when our kids go to the parties, we have to have a conversation with them about the cookies.

so state by state, though needs to make these decisions. lewis brandice an old supreme court justice said the states were the laboratories of democracy. that the states would implement programs and expertiment, and then compete against one another. a president who allows that competition, and stands up and proclaims proudly that washington's not the fountain of all wisdom. >> before we hear from our audience and their wisdom climate change. the president recently said it was one of our biggest national security threats. real maybe science not conclusive? where do you stand? >> i want to look at results. and in the 14 years i was governor in the state of texas, we added 5.6 million people to our population. that's a lot of pickup trucks sean. driving out on the road. all that refining capability on our gulf coast. and we lowered nitrogen oxide

levels by 62.5%. ozone levels by 23 %. carbon dioxide by 9%. now, no matter where you are in the global climate change debate wasn't that the goal? so my point is there's some examples in the 12th largest economy of the world, they did this with incentive based approach to this. we need to be having not split people up -- this president is such a divider. let's agree that we can do some things together. whether it's on criminal justice reform whether it's getting this country back working again, on how we develop our security and keep america safe. there are things we agree on. and democrats and republicans, let's not divide ourselves, let's bring ourselves together and find a solution. >> the president said he's not a divider. ferguson trayvon martin freddie gray cambridge police acting stupidly.

we now see what we see the ferguson effect. what's your reaction to all of that? >> i hope there are some other people who can stand up and be engaged in this debate like we did in the state of texas. we are putting people in prison for long times for nonviolent drug related issues. in the mid-2000s, we created drug courts. a judge said hey, perry, this works. we have now been able to close three prisons in the last four years in the state of texas. >> we've got to take a break. more with governor perry right after the break, and your questions straight ahead. we'll come back with more with governor perry right after the break and your questions, is this the year you take the trail less traveled. then you belong at bass pro shops with great father's day gift ideas at incredible savings. like redhead bass tournament shirts - 2 for $30. and save $30 on rugged shark men's slip ons.

welcome back to "hannity." we continue from texas. former governor rick perry is with us. today he announced he's for president. one last question before we go to our viewers. hillary clinton, you've got server issues clinton foundation issues a lot of scandals out there. who are your thoughts on her and her candidacy? she seems to be the anointed one of the democratic party. >> i haven't bought into the anointed one of the democrats. i think they'll go through a process, and hopefully they will about whose vision is the best for this country. again, you're going to go back

and look at records. and it gets a little tawdry from time to time when you look at the secretary. particularly this issue with benghazi. the lack of transparency i think is what's really going to bother a lot of americans. whether democrats or republicans, certainly independents as well. the lack of transparency when it comes to this whole server issue. the lack of transparency when it comes to the clinton foundation. this latest with what was going on with one of the norwegian companies -- >> sweden yeah. $26 million -- >> millions of dollars going to her husband after she became secretary of state. i mean even george stephanopoulos has got to say, enough. >> we've got a twitter question from diana smith. she says are you prepared to pull aid from nations that participate and hide terrorists and what is your plan for iran? >> actually i believe you start with zero based budgeting when

it comes to foreign aid. our friends and the ones participating with us and helping us they'll pass the test very quickly. those who don't, just because you've gotten foreign aid in the past that means nothing to me. this is about now. what are you doing to protect america's interests. what are you doing to project western values. and if you can't pass that test then why should we be sending them money. >> we have a viewer robin johnson, 54 writes what do you plan to do with isis? i'll add to that how do we repair the damage with israel and prime minister netanyahu? just yesterday the president was taking more shots at him. >> let me address prime minister netanyahu. we're friends, both professionally and personally. on day one, he will know that he has a friend in the oval office. that's the quick answer. isis obviously, we talked about that a little earlier. both back home from an

intelligence standpoint the home-grown terror obviously back in the middle east with a coalition of our both saudi, jordan our arab friends, and israel working together in a coalition to use our intelligence. we obviously have to beef up our intelligence capability. and from the military side of it to go out and eliminate isis in the world. >> whatever it takes, you're going to do it. >> yes. >> we'll come back with governor perry right after the break. glad you're with us. tex tonight. glad you're with us.

i like my seafood like i like my vacations: tropical. and during red lobster's island escape, three new tropical dishes take me straight to the islands. so i'm diving fork-first into the lobster and shrimp in paradise, with panko-crusted lobster tail and jumbo shrimp in captain morgan barbecue glaze. or the ultimate island seafood feast, with tender crab

wood-grilled lobster and two island-inspired flavors of jumbo shrimp. because a summer without tropical flavors might as well be winter. this escape is too good to miss so...don't. welcome back to "hannity." we turn it over to governor perry to have a good 60 seconds uninterrupted to lay out his case to you, our viewers, as to why he should be the next president of the united states. >> thank you. as a boy who grew up on a dry land cotton farm and to think i would be sitting here talking about being president of the united states is truly a dream come true. but it's a dream every american child should be able to have today. and to be able to do that we've got to get this country back economically. that's the core of whether you're a governor or president, it's about having an economy so that you can hire the teachers have the police officers or in our case as president much the united states have the military have the diplomatic

ability to have the success in the world. if you don't get the economic side right first, you'll not be able to address these issues. we saw it with ronald reagan back in the early 1980s. he took over a very depressed economy with russia. and a short ten years later, we saw the fall of the berlin wall the end of soviet communism. it can happen again. that's my message for americans. our best days are in front of us. we're just a few good decisions from the absolute best days of america. and i know how to do that. we've put that process into play in the 12th largest economy in the world. and to build economically this country back up and to build american spirit back up that this is the united states. we can do this. we've done it before. and our best days of ahead of us. >> governor perry, thank you for being with us. i appreciate it. thank you for being with us. we'll be back in new york tomorrow night.

is we have new information into "on the record" about the terror plot in boston. one of the two alleged jihadists apparently intended to murder pamela geller, the woman who organized that controversial draw muhammad contest. she is on the set ready to go "on the record." fox team coverage. we have information that the fbi tracked one of those two men for years. we start with fox boston anchor mark aukenbloom. >> we know as far as back as 2012 he was being tracked by the fbi. the actions of this past tuesday certainly were shocking here but he was on the list, as far as being watched for some time now. >> now mark, i
