breakthrough, the anguish. the journey from this to this and, for the first time, the sound of her voice. true grit. a remarkable journey beginning here. an abc news exclusive. good evening. we begin tonight with the oops heard round the world. after texas governor rick perry drew a blank at the republican debate last night for an agonizing 54 seconds. unable to summon a central part of his stump speech. today, in the wake of the televised implosion, the man once called the human tornado from texas appeared everywhere, using every weapon in his arsenal, including his high wattage personality to explain how that happened. but can he bounce back? abc's jon karl watched him try. >> reporter: rick perry says it was 54 second that feel like 54 hours. >> it's three agencies of

government when i get there that are gone. commerce, education and the -- what's the third one there? let's see. >> reporter: he just couldn't find the words. >> you can't name the third one? >> the third agency of government i would do away with, education, the -- >> commerce. >> commerce. and let's see. i can't. >> reporter: the judgment was swift. tweets pronouncing perry's campaign dead, even before the debate was over. one pundit called it "the most devastating moment of any modern primary debate." and check this out. right after the flub, online stock traders started selling shares of perry presidential stock, cutting its value by two-thirds in a matter of minutes. the flub especially devastating for perry because he's already had enough cringe-inducing debate moments. >> before he was before -- >> reporter: to become a running joke on "saturday night live."

>> i would be such a good president if there wasn't talking involved. >> reporter: that's why, beginning with "good morning america," he went on an all-out media blitz to try to save his campaign. >> if we're electing a debater in chief, don't elect me. >> reporter: it's not that there haven't been over dreadful debate moments. al gore's incessant sighing. the elder bush looking so bored he glanced at his watch. and the time ross perot's running mate literally tuned out. >> no, i didn't have my hearing aid turned on. tell me again. >> reporter: but the odd thing about this one -- >> the third one, i can't. sorry. oops. >> reporter: is that the agency that he meant to say -- >> energy, energy, energy. >> reporter: is one that he often talks about eliminating. perry is also going on late-night television tonight in an effort to show that he can poke fun at himself. his top advisers point out he's raised more money by far than any of the other candidates than mitt romney. he does have the resources to mount a comeback. >> okay, thank you, jon.

and we wondered if memory freezes ever happen to you under pressure, and in a minute, we're going to tell you what the experts say about why. and tonight, there is a request for calm on the campus of penn state, after loyal students erupted in outrage over the firing of joe paterno, their legendary football coach. who, by the way, was fired over the phone, after 45 years at the help, because that sexual abuse scandal involving eight young boys and one of paterno's top coaches. at the same time the alleged victims were sending word today, asking those protesters, what about us? abc's dan harris is at the center of the tug of war. >> reporter: it was an eruption. >> they made him look like a freaking villain. you call him a legend, treat him like a legend. >> reporter: do you think he'd want you to be doing this, though? >> no. >> reporter: the police moved in aggressively. >> police are spraying mase

everywhere. it disperses the crowd just a few minutes, then people just keep rushing back in. even in the thick of it, some students expressed discomfortable. >> this does not represent everyone from penn state. please do not think we do this. >> reporter: and today, on a very somber campus, many expressed shame. on this day after, what do you think about what happened last night? >> i think the same thing i thought then. i thought it was terrible. >> it's pretty embarrassing. i think everybody's very embarrassed. >> reporter: in the wake of the riot, a lawyer advising some of the sex child abuse victims of former defensive coach jerry san do sandusky says he's worried they could become scapegoats for paterno's firing. the 84-year-old now ex-coach spent the day at home very sad, according to a source. today, penn state's first new head coach in roughly half a century, tom bradley, met the media. >> very mixed emotion and a heavy heart that this has

occurred, that i'm going through this. >> reporter: tonight, one local paper is reporting the new head coach has been asked by the trustees to keep coach mike mcqueary off the field during saturday's game for his own safety. mcqueary is the man who says he witnessed jerry sandusky sexually abusing a 10-year-old in the team showers. mcqueary reported it to joe paterno, but did not physically try to stop the abuse. tonight, the streets near penn state are calm, but the governor of pennsylvania has just held a press conference, basically pleading with students not to riot again. the next big test will be saturday, the first football game without joe paterno, who said today he will be staying away from the stadium. he doesn't want to be a distraction. diane? >> dan harris who was in the middle of all of this. thank you, dan. and on this, the eve of veterans day, attention was paid to the men and women who served the country. the veterans of iraq and afghanistan who have returned from the battlefield to another

kind of battle here. among them, 12.1% unemployment. and that's well above the rest of the country. today, first lady michelle obama announced that american corporations have now pledged to hire 100,000 veterans and military spouses by the year 2014. it's part of a jobs initiative that she and jill biden, the vice president's wife, launched earlier this year. and we told you about the economic convulsion in italy that threat, to take down the mighty countries of europe and send a shock wave across the ocean, to american 401(k)s. well, tonight, italians are talking about a hail mary idea. placing ads on some of the most beloved and recognizable tourist atracks in the world. a new member of our abc news team, kelly cobiella, has the story from rome. >> reporter: rome is ground zero

for what could be a global finical catastrophe. italy's financial mess is massive. $2.5 trillion in debt, bigger than the entire economy. and the government is putting everything on the table. when it comes to treasures, italy has more than its share. who can forget michelangelo's "david" or that leaning tower of pisa? in the past few years, some of these monuments have become billboards. the roman coliseum, the canals of venice. the money-making deal wrapping the bridge of sighs more than $2 million from a jewelry company, bulgari. to keep things afloat, the country will need to borrow $408 billion next year just to pay the interest on its debt. how many monumental ads would italy have to sell? more than 272,000. certainly not a workable answer. is it guaranteed that italy will survive this? >> unfortunately it is not guaranteed. >> reporter: so what should they do? trading in the scandal-ridden prime minister silvio berlusconi

for an economics professor named mario monti is the first step. then comes sacrifice. higher taxes, cuts to the social programs italians have gown so used to. the people we met told us they are already suffering. >> i have been unemployed for one year. so, i have already given up something for my country. >> reporter: would you be willing to pay higher taxes? >> well, if i could, yes. but i think we don't have enough money to even eat sometimes. >> reporter: what would you give up for italy? >> give up berlusconi. >> reporter: when berlusconi tried to introduce cuts last month, italians let him know what they thought on the streets. the alternative would be much worse. a bankrupt italy dragging the rest of u.europe and u.s. with . monti apparently saw all of this coming. he's been working on a financial reform package f.
