not even a casino business is immune to trump's chapter 11 touch.was buried under $3.4 billion in debt. and after a phony presidential run last spring when trump went full birther, he was humiliated by the obama administration when they released the president's long-form birth certificate. but still -- >> has donald trump become somebody you got to go visit if you are going to want to be president on the republican side? >> apparently, yes. all you need do is have some lousy pizza with the donald and he will say really great things about you in the press. even if you're sinking in the polls, like rick perry. >> i think he is a very impressive guy with a very good record. >> what do you think of michele bachmann? >> well, i think she is a very underrated person. >> epps always delightful, i enjoy donald trump. >> we hit it off well, i will say, even better than i had anticipated. >> i like him. should be reproud of very proud of himself. people like him. >> the only candidate who has spoken negatively about trump is jon huntsman. >> you describe to t

donald trump is in the 1%.y concerned about the effects of money and power on the environment. that's really what the film is about. >> it's almost a version of the platinum citizenship that we've been exploring this week that was really created, made official by tim geithner at the treasury because he set the different rules where one group of people gets unemployment and one group of people gets zero percent on their retirement and one group gets student credit and tim decides who gets that. if you're lo-to-look at a path to resolution, what is the resolution that you seek in the context of whatever the state of play is between this golf course, donald trump, the people of scotland and the environment? >> i think you've got to listen to what ordinary people are saying. the trump organization put out a statement last night saying that the people who have been objecting to this golf course are a national disgrace and also saying that they are parasites, people who have been objecting. they feel very strongly ab

donald trump.nner voice ] >>> the republican presidential candidates have all consistently agreed on one thing. the health care reform bill that president obama signed into law is bad. very bad. all but one of the republican presidential candidates agree that the health care reform bill that governor mitt raum omney signed into law is bad. very, very bad. >> balancing the federal budget and that starts with repealing obama care. >> you just don't have credible, mitt, when it comes to repealing obama care. your plan was the basis for obama care. >> i was asked, is this something you'd have the whole nation do? and i said no. this was something that was crafted for massachusetts. >> what you did is exactly what barack obama did. >> there's a lot of big government behind romney care, not as much as obama care, but a heck of a lot more than your campaign is admitting. >> actually, newt, we got the idea of individual mandate from you. >> that's not true. >> you did support an individual mandate. >> yes,

courtesy of donald trump.or of texas, if he believed president obama was born in the united states. perry said, i have no reason to think otherwise. so the interviewer pressed on. question, "you don't believe what's been released?" perry says "i don't know. i had dinner with donald trump the other night. he doesn't think it's real." question again, "and you said?" perry says "i don't have any idea, it doesn't matter. he's the president of the united states. he's elected. it's a distractive issue." and now donald trump offered this statement. despite release what is alleged do be his birth certificate, serious questions remain, is it authentic? i don't know. and perry has another problem. in november, the texas division of motor vehicles will vote on whether to allow license plates in the state with a confederate flag to commemorate the civil war. perry's office says it didn't ask for its approval and they encourage the public to offer feedback. you think? and in the latest poll of iowa republicans, they're say

but will a power meeting with donald trump power up her campaign? donald trump goes on the record. but first, our nightmare. what about iran? not only is iran working on nuclear weapons, threatening to wipe israel off the map, but planning bombings and assassinations. what are we dog about it? senator john mccain goes on the record. >> nice to see you, sir. >> thank you. >> we learn that the united states had a direct contact with iran during the course of this investigation of terrorism here in the united states. direct contact -- i thought we weren't talking to iran. >> a lot of things go on, as you know, that -- whether it was right or wrong, i haven't had a chance to make a judgment. but i -- we should make a judgment about iran and their activities, not only this latest rather blatant example of their... kinds of activities. but their plan throughout the whole middle-east area. they exported the i.e.d.s into afghanistan, the most lethal ones that killed americans. they're fooling around in bahrain, trying to cause trouble there. they have obviously, supported hamas and hezboll

trump, he saw, we all what happened to donald trump for a couple of weeks. the moment that he both disgraced himself by talking about birtherism, but in the opening couple of weeks, made himself a skyrocket, rocketed to the top of consideration among this, the folks on the far right. perry sees that as an opportunity. look, they understand very well that mitt romney has topped out, they believe, around 25, 30%. all they have to do is coalesce other folks around him. and those folks, those most active constituents who are going to show up at the caucuses in iowa, who are going to show up in south carolina, are exactly the people who still think that obama is the other, and who still think that, as extraordinary as this may seem, you go out there and talk to folks, that donald trump is a kind of sage and expert who will talk directly to people. i know! talk directly to people and say the truth. >> okay. i mean, when i went to new york the first couple of times, and i still do this as an out-of-towner, i do look up at the tall buildings, but i realize people in

you just have to go and have the uh belying tore coffee or pizza. >> keep trump close, but keep trump'srpiece closer. >> that's alleged. >> no, i think it is real. >> no, it is his real hair. i meant hairpiece as -- i don't know what i meant. >> i saw him in person and it looked much more normal. >> it is actually -- it looks like if i wanted to i would shrink myself and sleep in it. it looks that luxurious. it would be like one of those -- >> you pull a couple strands over. >> how did we get to this? >> knowing the information, should trump back the guy he wants to lose? >> i can't accept the poll is one to lose. he is an intellectual heavyweight and who ever he backs for president ought to win. >> someone wants to be on it. >> should candidates ask trump not to back them? >> no, i agree with dana. i think that's a good point. you don't want him going after you like he did rosie o'donnell. i still think of the vampire or whatever bat he called her. i guess i assume everything he says is to promote "celebrity apprentice." >> no! >> i really didn't -- i really did think he would run for

so i actually loaned them the building and actually they did some at trump international and trump towernd i love eddie murphy and i think he's terrific. i think he really is great, too, because i saw the movie last night at the premier. i also -- ben stiller is great. the whole group is great. they have alan alda and brett ratner is the director. it was a wall street guy. the building showed beautifully. >> your old friend rosie o'donnell has a new talk show going on the oprah winfrey network. have you sent flowers? >> no but i hope she does well and i hope she does well. she's had a long string of failures an i hope she does well because of oprah. i love oprah. >> what do you think of oprah? >> i think oprah is great. i love her. she is a friend of mine. >> as a business woman. >> i was on her show the last week and it was great. she had my family on. it was a beautiful thing. i think she is an incredible woman, a beautiful woman, and i want her to do well with her network so i hope rosie do well. >> when you look at your own story, oprah winfrey's story, these people, steve jobs, for

i was having fun with donald trump.ook, it's fun to -- lighten up a bit. >> you have no doubt he is an american citizen. >> i have no doubt about it. >> that's a new sentence for him, i have no doubt about it. >> and i don't think the lighten up comment wears very well. there's a reason that that many republicans in any given state believe this is a legitimate issue and it's because people who are us a sentenceably serious people who, have a broadcast platform have gone out and be highly irresponsible with this. and i think delegitimizing the president is the wrong thing to do politically and it is also a terrible thing to do for the country and it does, i think grievous damage to our system and our institutions. and it's one of the reasons, when you look across the field of survey data, that you see in institution after institution in this country the collapse of trust. and it's a big problem and this doesn't do anything to help remedy it. >> steve, you have been in the room with presidential candidates at the highest

i think what donald trump likes about it is that it's catchy.something that trips off of everyone's lips when you ask, who's herman cain? oh, 9-9-9 guy. once you get into the details, it's horrifying. even donald trump in the sound bite you showed says, i don't agree with it but he likes the fact his tax rate will be brought down to %. he loves that. of course he would. anybody would. the 9% sales tax, of course he says, it's not going to affect me much. what does he care? >> right. right. and so every -- every single analysis you can do of this shows that it is a massive tax increase on 84% of the people. and it actually is not as good -- i was checking upper incomes. you have to get up to a pretty serious high income before it starts to work for you. to work for you consistently. because he eliminates the mortgage deduction and eliminates a bunch of deductions you can't use. but herman cain cares nothing about any fact that gets presented to him on this and he just -- he will just continue to boldly assert, oh, no, no, it does this and does th

donald trump for the hour. this is "piers morgan tonight." >>> donald, thank you for inviting me into your -- well, this is almost the kind of lair of the 1%. or even the 1% of the 1%. >> thank you for being here. it's my honor. >> what do you think about this whole occupy wall street thing? you, i guess, are in the target range. you're the prime example of capitalist success in america. what do you make of them? do you think that they have justification for their anger? >> i think some are very serious people. i think some are down there for dating purposes and i have said, you know, they're down looking for girls, looking for women, looking for men. they're looking for anything. some are very serious people and they should be serious because the economy is terrible. i personally think wall street isn't their target. i think their target is the white house and certainly washington. but they are some very serious people. and it was interesting. somebody called me before from cnn, actually, and they want me to d

>> trump is trump. he's a vulgar clown and he does this to get himself in the headlines. i don't mean to put too fine of a point on it. the problem here for rick perry is there will be some folks who look at this and not only take him less seriously because he is trafficking with a known clown, but because it raises questions about his credulousness and willingness to believe what he hears from somebody. when you are president of the united states, you talk to all kinds of people and people lie to you all the time. they try to get you to believe things that are not true. when you are negotiating with foreign leaders, if you just accept the assurances of a foreign leader about the state of affairs in a particular country because you know them and because you had lunch with them the way rick perry had lunch with donald trump and told them a hunk of hooey, is he going believe that from the foreign leader when he is president? this goes to his willingness to be duped essentially. what does that say about him as a possible president of the united states? >> we will talk about
