mr. perry's passing was not related to mr. dr. plasencia that was provided by another party sometime later nothing criminal at the time. >> he says that what you'd expect him to say, i suppose what what do you make of this as a as a defense? >> well, the u.s. attorney's office did a really good job in the indictment and it's this charging document where they lay out their case which include texts communications between these two doctors. and so sure. there's there's a presumption of innocence and that needs to be afforded good to these defendants. but this looks not like a regular doctor that would be giving prescriptions or supervising a patient with a us attorney's offices described these folks is really being street level drug dealers is the kind of conduct that's alleged to have engaged in so i don't know that when these facts come out or presented to a jury that it's going to look as good as the defense attorney portrayed it just now i'll times while spleen say they've arrested four men in connection with the shooting death o

suspect, steven anderson, who we have identified, goes through his pockets and takes the $40 that mr. perryd, and then kicks him a second time, and then as he's done, another individual who we'd like to identify also comes up and kicks mr. perry one more time in the face. >> perry has a cut lip and several broken bones in his face. >>> the university of mississippi, you know it as ole miss, well, the school just made history. 50 years after immigrating, it's elected its first african-american homecoming queen. >>> first, collect as many credit cards as you can. compete with your friends to buy possessions you can't afford. and don't bother saving for retirement. it's a long way off. these are all things ben stein says you should do if you want to ruin your financial life. christine romans sits down with him in this week's "mastering your money." >> ben stein is a well-known economist. he was a speechwriter for president nixon and, oh, yeah, this. >> bueller. bueller. bueller. >> now ben stein is advising all of us to slack off a little like ferris bueller. he writes financial basics, they'r

you heard him talking about education, mr. perry.he magic bullet to level the playing field as much as a playing field can be leveled? >> it is, education is central to the improvement of anyone's life and the naacp in a precarious situation because it's in bed with the teachers' union. the achievement gap is really an educational gap in terms of performance of our educators themselves. we need to look honestly at vouchers and hope up the discussion. the problem we face is that those people are supposed to represent us in organizations such as the naacp is on the verge of becoming a civil rights relic. >> you said the naacp is in bed with the teacher's union. you don't mean that in a good way. i'm assuming. >> they have produced the off spring an achievement gap that can cocolossal. it's not working for black children. place where it works is where they have access to choice in cities such at new york choice is becoming the order of the day. that needs to be the choice, the order of the day throughout the country. at some point or an

. >> mr. perry just got in the presidential race and i think that everybody who runs for president, it probably takes them a little bit of time before they start realizing that this isn't like running for governor or running for senator or running for congress and you have to be a little more careful about what you say but i'll cut him some slack. he has only been at it for a few days now. >> reporter: minutes ago, perry responded in new hampshire. >> the president said i need to do watch what i say. i just want to respond back, if i may. mr. president, actions speak louder than words. my actions as governor are helping create jobs in this country. >> reporter: well, you will hear more from him in a couple of minutes. his comments is tough language. you have an angry republican conservative out there. if perry makes it to the nomination, this kind of language could hurt him. he has moved to new hampshire today so mitt romney is there as well and ron paul. it's a crowded day in the granite state. >>

well, mr perry's defense attorneys are lashing out at the court for releasing the these messages, almost of which were not allowed to be shown to the jury. but perhaps perhaps it will complicate efforts to pardon him or give him a new trial. among the posts that he wrote. ah on june 1st 2020 on on facebook, he wrote. it is official. i am a racist because i do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo. that same day, he also wrote. now it is my turn to get banned from facebook by comparing the black lives matter movement to a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out, flinging their s h i t at a different time, he said. too bad we can't get paid for hunting muslims in europe and on and on , and i have not. we have not heard yet from governor abbott, who one has to believe was not aware of these tax messages, which were not introduced in trial before abbott said that he would seek a pardon for mr perry . but it certainly is a shocking development and obviously we'll have a political impact. and let's be honest. here. this case had become a cause celebre among conservatives. and

. >> mr. perryback up a moment, because we are assuming that everyone watching you and i know what sexting is. define it for me. >>well, sexting is a new phenomena and the laws have not evolved with the new technology. and it is the transmitting of sexually explicit material or information mostly photos through the internet or other communication system. >> mr. perry, you are a father, yes? >> i am. >> and how would you be sure -- >> i'm also a grandfather. >> and a grandfather, and we will include your grand kikids this, too, when they get older. >> certainly. >> and how do you make certain that the children take this seriously? >> well, parents can go to my website assemblyman perry.com, and we provide some tips that will help them in dealing with this situation. also parents have to pay attention to what their kids do, because most of the kids that get involved in this sexting have no intention to commit a crime or are totally unaware that they are breaking the law, but the consequences are somet

mr. perry's concerns will be the basis for referral of the matter to the office of professional standards substantiated and whether any departmental policies or procedures were violated during the stop. in that facebook post i was t l telling about a moment ago, he said it should be a hate crime investigated by the fbi and he described this intense run in with two atlanta police officers. this happened last month when he was pulled over for making an ill looel turn. he told officers he signaled to get into the turning lane then made the turn to make sure he wasn't being followed. perry said it wasn't until a third officer, an african-american officer arrived on the situation th-- scene tha the situation was defused. he also made a reference to the killing of florida teenager trayvon martin. i'm not sure how a murder in florida can be protected by a stand your ground law he also mentioned the suspicious disappearance of two florida men, terrance williams and felipe santos who was mexican. both were arrested by steven culkins more than eight years ago. they haven't been seen since. ands a t

director of the hinckley institute of politics at the university of uds, former chief of staff, mr. perry, good to see you. you hear the governor say it is past time to stop debating this. why is this such a debate in the country, it is just a fact, it is largely, largely blue versus red argument, why? >> you're absolutely right. because the rhetoric out of washington, d.c. has forced people to plant a political flag around certain issues, masks are one of those. utah is very much like what happened in other parts of the country, it became a symbol, are you republican or democrat. depends whether you're willing to wear a mask or not. that issue raging in utah and other places and you heard our governor. for him, he said that debate is over. he decided to take the politics out of that. for the last couple of days, last week, a lot less out of washington, d.c. to reinforce that issue. the less it is a political issue, more about a public health issue, better for all of us. that's where the governor got it. he got there quickly. he has been pretty stern and upset about it. >> you say coming

we'd like to talk to mark meadows about that as well as mr. perry. we've asked mr. bpoenaed mark meadows and when he refused to come in, we, the house voted to refer that unlawful act to the department of justice for prosecution. now, meadows then sued and to try to prevent the committee from acting, i think it's a frivolous case, but we had to counter that in and some of these disclosures were necessary to disclose to the court. there's obviously more evidence that we have that is much needed to be disclosed to the court. >> and does some of the evidence you have that was not released, does it corroborate some of what was released friday night? >> let me just say what's dropp developing is not a good look. it's not something that heartens me as a believer in our democratic constitutional system. clearly, there were efforts underway to overturn the election in a way that was not lawful. it's clear and we put this in the filing. but he persisted. that he had been warned of the potential of violence and yet persisted. so we do need to talk to mr. meadows among others.

and mr. perry, rick perry s. nowhere's near that state. he's polling at 1% in new hampshire. it might not be such a bad campaign idea to put more eggs in that basket than the basket where mitt romney is speaking right now. >>> you have probably heard about the possibility of a 2012 ticket president obama and hillary clinton. now they are punting it in print, too. the editor of the "new york times" wrote a pretty significant column and he is my guest coming up. you know, because you been, you know, this is what you had been doing. you know, working, working, working, working, working, working. and now you're talking about, well you know, i won't be, and i get the chance to spend more time with my wife and my kids. it's my world. that's my world. ♪ >>> you've probably heard the rumors and the buzz that now the former editor of the "new york times" says that it's time to call a democratic dream team. it's nice to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> so here's my question to you. for a lot of people that sounds great. and for a lot of people t

the iv version of ketamine that's given, which is reportedly the one that mr. perry was receiving, the half life is three to four hours. so it really would be out of your body that day. it would not persist a week and a half after treatment. there's also a nasal form of ketamine treatment. there are some oral forms as well. so the half life and how long it stays would depend. again, i just want to caution people, just because this horrible tragedy happened doesn't mean ketamine isn't safe. ketamine is safe when given in an appropriate medical setting. but it could be extremely unsafe when taken as a recreational drug and especially when combined with other substances including -- i know this was not the case here, but >> and then how would people end up obtaining it if they're not in a medical setting? i mean, is this kind of on the black market? i mean, how would someone actually get it? >> yeah, ketamine is sold illegally as a recreational drug. it has these psychedelic properties which some people value for recreational purposes. it's also used for -- some individ

>> mr. perry just got into the presidential race. for president probably takes them a little bit of time before they start realizing that this isn't like running for governor or running for senator or running for congress. you've got to be a little more careful about what you say. i'll cut him some slack. he's only been at it for a short time now. >> mitt romney says corporations are people. does he have a point? >> well, if you tell me that corporations are vital to american life, that the free enterprise system is the greatest wealth builder we've ever seen. folks and ceos working in large companies that are creating incredible products and services and that is all to the benefit of the united states of america, that i absolutely agree with. if e on the other hand, you tell me every corporate tax break that's out there is somehow good for ordinary americans that we have a tax code that's fair, that asking oil and gas companies, for example, not to get kpesexemptions that other f don't get, that closing the tax loophole, that's goin

it was interesting to see mrs. perry by his side, especially when rick perry mentioned his wife, the love of his life and how much he valued her by his side. she was tearing up a little bit. clearly, it was a little bit of a tough announcement for her. and then he took a moment to thank some veterans who had been on the trail with him as well and some other folks who have supported him along the way. but the announcement was relatively quick. said that he did not leave discouraged, that he did not leave disenchanted, that he was going to leave the trail, return to texas, wind down the campaign, but do so with pride and continue the fight. suzanne? >> all right, thank you, soledad. i want to bring in jim acosta, who is with mitt romney in his event as well. and jim, a couple questions for you. obviously, breaking news on two fronts. mitt romney did not get the endorsement of rick perry. how disappointing is that? is there any reaction from the campaign? i'm not hearing jim acosta. i don't believe we have jim acosta with u

bachmann had a shot at that and mr. perry had a shot at that.votes in iowa, probably someone doesn't emerge who is that challenger. the key thing last night, if you like "housewives of new jersey" and great show for anderson cooper and cnn, and not a good show for the republican party. i don't think beating each other up, not just debates on issues, but a lot of personal stuff challenging mr. romney's intention and so forth. not a great show. >> a lot of sparring, not just between, not really between cain and romney, but, really, just between romney and perry. it doesn't boil down to who presents themselves as the more presidential debater. >> no, it doesn't. at the end of the day, these are the two men that have the resources and the organizations and for those of us who have been around the game a long time, our assumption is they are the ones that will be able to go on and carry this nomination beyond iowa and new hampshire. everybody else is either broke or not necessarily having the organization to move forward. not too late and can always

so mr. perry in the yellow zone with misleading. bout the other front runner in the race, mitt romney. at one point he went after governor perry's stand on immigration in texas. here is that exchange. >> four years of college, almost $100,000 discount. if you're an illegal ail yep to go to the university of texas. if you're a united states sit citizen you have to pay $100,000 more. that doesn't make sense to me. that kind of magnet -- [ applause ] that kind of magnet draws people into this country to get that education, to get the $100,000 break. >> so we heard the applause. but was that true? >> $100,000 break? that sounds pretty good. well, it depends on how you slice this thing up. he's saying it's a magnet for illegal immigrants to offer these benefits. people believe that sort of thing, but let's look at specifically what he's talking about here. the university of texas, if you went to texas, you can go to a university if you're an illegal immigrant and gone to high school, you can go as an in-state student and pay that kind of

mr. perry's passing was not related. mr. dr. plasencia, that was provided by another party sometime later, the other dr. mark chavez entered a guilty plea and then there's perry's live-in assistant, kenneth iwamasa, according to the court documents, during the final week of perry's life, iwamasa injected him with at least 21 shots of ketamine. >> and this is a man who was not medically trained for this on the day he that perry died, he'd given him multiple shots and injected him after perry asked for a big one, he entered a guilty plea and finally, keith morrison, perry's stepfather, he released a statement from the family saying that they were and still are heartbroken, but say it has helped to know that law enforcement test taking this case very seriously. they're hoping for justice and they're hoping for suppliers to get the message camila bernal. >> thank you so much. >> alright, still ahead. jackie robinson statue rebuilt and back in kansas this after the original was cut at the ankles, stolen and burned cnn is live from chi

i actually thought that mr. perryt be three for three on the pinstripes, but steve perry is a sharp dresser anyway. and stay tuned, because these two guys will talk about how the recession is affecting your children's education at colleges. so many schools are cutting budgets, and we will talk about it when we come back. >>> all right. if you are watching the show everyday, you know we are talking a lot about public education, which is a big topic. the kansas city school board is scheduled to vote on a measure to close half of the schools and eliminate 3,000 jobs and 285 of those are teaching jobs. the state is facing a shortfall, so we wanted to breakdown how many public schools are being forced to close ostensibly because of the recession. so 80% of the school funding is generated by property taxes. so you see the problem here. this recession has brought house prices down and put a lot of people out of their house, and as a result, schools are getting less money. according to a survey by the american association of

according to "the new york times" mr. perry thought he was going to be the ambassador for the american oil and gas industry back when he forgot the name of the energy department. this is from the new york times, quote, in the days after mr. perry, the former texas governor discovered he would be no such thing, an ambassador for the oil industry, that, in fact, if confirmed by the senate he would become a steward of a vast national security complex he knew almost nothing about, caring for the most fear some weapons on the planet, the nuclear arsenal. >> i do think it's a concern. it's a concern mainly because what we have heard the trump team say over and over again in the face of having a president-elect who is really an expert about nothing when it comes to government and policy making, they kept saying he's going to surround himself with the best people that have the best knowledge about all of these things that affect the american people. and what we have been learning is that the people that he has picked as his cabinet hav

mr. steve perry in this week's edition of "perry's principles." >> i have no formal authority, you don'ters. i don't have any kind of say in what happens or how those dollars are spent. >> reporter: what strategies would you suggest if you had control? >> we've got to stop paying our teachers as wage workers. they're not. they are professionals and we should pay them to get a job done, based upon results. that's blasphemy to a lot of people to pay in a way that incentivizes behavior and you get paid based upon outcomes. i believe in this era of 21st century standards we can create fair ways to judge our teachers. >> we know that better teachers run by n schools run by principals who have more autonomy. >> yes. >> create more effective learning earn virnmentes. >> yes. >> period. >> period. good teachers, radically pay them more, hold them accountable for results. in new jersey we outperform suburbs. some include traditional public schools like science park high and charters like north star academy. so i want to be the best, and i'm willing to make that investment and i want that math pro

mr. perry, governor perry. he's gone. good luck.was very nasty to me, but you know yesterday i put out a tweet, i said he's a wonderful man and i wish him well. people couldn't believe. but when you win, everybody is wonderful. right? i think he's won. i think he's actually a nice guy. but he dropped out. so we have a total of 16 people. so what i'm getting nationwide 32, one poll game out 40, when i'm getting 32. it's sort of funny. i have a poll at 40. i have a poll at 32. and then i have these other polls, and you know, they're all like that. winning in iowa, winning in new hampshire, winning every place by a lot. and then i hear, here's the headline, carly is surging. 3%. i hear ben, ben carson, very nice man. he's surging, but he's way behind me. i say, what about me? i'm leading. they don't mention that. the headline is carson surging. i keep saying what about trump? i say, oh, well, you're leading, but, you know. by the way, i'm surging much more than him. i'm surging more than anybody. because, look, i mean, in all fairness

mr. steve perry. nice to see you. let's just start with this. do you agree?eorgia state superintendent that this lesson crosses the line? >> absolutely not. we're looking at the difference between zpeeching teaching and indoctrinating. one of the biggest problems our children have is the lack of understanding of the rest of the world. the other is that they have trouble reading. this is an article that asks children to form an opinion. it doesn't say to take the opinion of the author. one of the skills that we teach. we call it a test taking skill. how to identify the context of the article being written and the intent of the author. the theme. these are basic reading skills that our children throughout america do not have. >> so i'm listening to you and i want to read more of this. i'm sure you've read it. but part of this lesson plan, she writes about how she is about to be this man's second wife. i have mattered in the west men often divorce their wives to marry younger women and their first wives suffer greatly. women in the west do not have the protectio

mr. perry and gohmert.d asked white house counsel for a pardon. >> different gop members denied or rationalized this. will there be more about the request for a pardon? >> it is indicative of a fear of prosecution. it is not a crime for these members to ask for a pardon. that would be their right. however, one cannot corruptly ask for a pardon which means to seek a pardon in exchange for something else is a political quid pro quo. if and when more information is revealed we want to make everything public. but that's all i can really say about that in this point. >> do you have evidence of a possible quid pro quo or anything like that? >> no. but i'm just making the point that it is not criminal for people -- yeah. it is not criminal to seek a pardon unless there's a quid pro quo why that's a statement of the law. from a common sense perspective indicative of consciousness of guilt and participation in a criminal activity. i don't know anybody who's ever requested a pardon myself. >> okay. i want to ask you

mr. speaker, michele bachmann and rick perry are going to south carolina.mitted to campaigning in new hampshire? >> yes, absolutely. but probably -- we haven't decided, but probably. >> you're not bypassing new hampshire? >> no, no. i think -- i think new hampshire is the first perfect state to have a debate over romney care. and to have a debate about tax paid abortions, which he signed and to have a debate about putting planned parenthood and the government board which he signed and to have a debate about appointing liberal judges, which he did. i think new hampshire is a great place to start the debate for south carolina. >> did you see a doctor for your flu? does you receive any medications? >> i've been very big on gatorade. [ inaudible ] >> same thing we have been doing. i'll talk positively. we'll do two more telephone conference calls and as i've said before, we had 22,000 on the saturday telephone conversation and that's reasonably good reach to spend 45 minutes to an hour with people. we'll do two more tomorrow and tuesday. we'll keep campaigning

rick perry says mr.fortunate errors andmy shl bachmann says he isn't standing by israel and mitt romney says he threw israel under the bus. how important is that jewish vote in joining me now is democratic strategist car donna and clifford may, welcome, john, let me start with you. how critical is the jewish vote? >> it is incredibly important coalition but every constituency is important. president obama's approval rating among jewish americans is still 50% higher than any other group. we hear every election cycle there's an idea that republicans claim the jewish vote, it never happens. is it going to less support than initially? probably. will he come close to losing the jewish vote? doubt that will happen. >> he got 78% of the jewish vote in 2008. will he get the same? he'll certainly try. what he needs to do to do that is continue to underscore that there's been no administration that has done more to solidify and strengthen the military cooperation, which is the basis of our relationship with israel

mr. bauer. >> oh, pr perry, so politically correct there on that. >> i try to stay out of grown folks' businessr you. >> i'll venture to answer that one. i'm going to say that a governor going awol for five days rates higher on the scale of just don't do this as somebody opening his mouth and shoving his foot in like this. >> yeah. he's comparing compassion to cruelty, it's just plain out wrong. >> you don't talk about people like animals, you just don't do that. >> amen. steve perry, final thought? >> there is the final thought. these are people. people are attempting to make their lives better and who we the community have said we're going to help them because we're a humane society. to malign them because they're using the resources, the very ladder we put in place to move them forward is disgusting, it's reprehensible and fortunately each voter gets an opportunity to make their point known. >> got it. steve perry, frank sesno, great discussion. i really appreciate you both. >> thanks. >>> we want to know what you think of the lieutenant governor's comments. post your comments on my blog and

mr. mason -- >> judge belvin perry taking four charges of lying to police seriously.e have david mattingly at the courthouse in orlando, jeffrey toobin in new york and on his way into the studio, holly hughes. david, we'll start with you. looks like end of july, possibly some time in august. casey anthony will walk free. >> reporter: that's right. casey anthony is not free, not yet. the judge did throw the book at her but because these are misdemeanor charges it wasn't a very big book. she's getting the maximum four years in jail, a $4,000 fine, $1,000 for each of the counts. the judge is now waiting on a legal calculation of the time she has served so far and the credit she gets for good behavior to determine how much of that four years will be shaved off. we're obviously not looking at years. we're not looking probably at months, but probably something less than that. again, within the hour, we should know exactly how little casey anthony has left behind bars. when she gets out, we are also finding out today that the state will definitely pursue getting some sort of
