mrs. perrys at it again today speaking at a diner in south carolina she told an unemployed man she shared his pain. mrs. perry said her son was also out of work and added "my son lost his job because of this administration." well, here's tonight's truth. wrong again, mrs. perry. and again not even close. griffin perry did have to give us his job at deutch bank because he's been raising money for his father's campaign and the securities and exchange commission has rules governing political activities. in other words to keep people who may want to get investments in a state pension program like the one in texas from trying to buy political sway through campaign contributions. those rules were tightened effective last year because of shenanigans too many to mention related to the 2008 mortgage mess and broader financial meltdown. griffin perry, the son in question, told abc news recently, he decided to put his career on hold to help his dad. he said it was his choice. so for mrs. perry to say "my s

mr. perry in orlando, did talk to a room over 500 delegates. taking part in the convention, this is the fifth, for 20 years they've been doing this and can culminates with a straw poll. they haven't always at the presidency at the rpof events and this one certainly does. rick perry's favorite. this morning, as he he was talking to some of the republicans in florida he he he he made the point that notwithstanding what many have reviewed as a weak debate performance a couple of nights ago. mr. perry says the debate style was matters, it's presidential substance, listen to this. >> what americans are looking for in this candidate, they're looking for an authentic, principled leader. >> reporter: when rick perry refers to a slick presidential candidate, it's very clear, based on what he and his aides have been saying, they are referring directly to mitt romney has already arrived in mackinac, island, michigan, mr. perry is there for a g.o.p. convention that's happening there. romney, as soon as he

what do you think we're going to hear from mr. perry?porter: i think he'll talk about his military background talk about family and check all of the conservative republican boxes that you need to. >> and i'm sure he will say this time will be different than last time when he ran. >> yeah that will be something to watch for in this speech.

[applause] mr. perryt, my friends, we are a resilient country. you think about who we are. we have been through a civil war. we have been through two world wars. we have been through a great depression and made it through jimmy carter. we will make it through the obama years. we will do this. [applause] the fundamental nature of our country never say knock down, we get back up. we dust ourselves off and we move forward. and you know what? we will do it again. [applause] mr. perry: i want to share some important truths, starting with this truth, we don't have to settle for a world in chaos and america that shrinks from its responsibility. we don't have to apologize for american exceptionalism or western values. we don't have to accept slow growth that leaves behind the middle class and leaves millions of americans out of work. we don't have to settle for crumbling bureaucracies that harm our taxpayers and veterans. we don't have to re-sign ourselves to debt, decay and slow growth. we have the power to make

let's look at one of the weakest moments for mr. perry. he stumbled over what should have been, this is the easiest. a six-inch put. a well rehearsed flip on romney's flip-flops. listen. >> i think americans don't know which mitt romney they are dealing with. is it the mitt romney that was against the second amendment before he was for the second amendment? was it before he was before the social programs from the standpoint of he was far standing up for roe versus wade, before he was against it. he was for race to the top. he's for obama care and now he's against it. >> david, i have never counted so many brain freezes in one sentence. >> please make it stop. he's making george w. bush look articulate. as bad as that response was, he prepared for that line of attack and couldn't pull it off. >> you can't remember the capital of florida. >> index card it was on for him. i don't know if we'll get to it, but the answer he gave on pakistan was frightening. >> here is the fox news moderator asking rick perry what he would do. 3:00 a.m., the cal

perry and the president are a dead heat on independents. mr. obama runs a little better against perry than romney. i's not that big of a margin. >> what are we talking about here? are you surprised his entry brought such a large surge? >> there was a void in the gop field that he's filling. when mitch daniels decided not to run, there was clearly an appetite for someone not in the race. mr. perry is filling that. he's able to appeal to fiscal conservatives given his record in texas and ability to create jobs. he's conservative on social issues. he has the ability to meld those two wings of the party. >> the president's approval ratings have been dismal as of late. how did he fare in your poll this time? >> the favorable, unfavorable rating is 47-47. it's not that good. it's not awful but it's not good. it's down from the past. >> peter brown, thanks for your time. you can see the republican front-runners square off one week from today right here on msnbc. >>> we have an amazing story out of the flood zone in vermont. imagine being this couple. l

mr. perry is parting ways saying he is confident in the candidates that remain. >> we have a tremendous field of candidates. i step aside knowing our party is in good hands as long as we listen to the grassroots, listen to the cause of conservatism. if we do that, our party will be in good hands. >> the campaign was strapped for cash and stuck polling near zero. the republican presidential candidate ben carson says america needs to, quote, de emphasize race. he added that president obama has taken us backward on race by talking about it too much. carson is the only african-american in the gop field and made the comments during a visit to ferguson, missouri. a white officer shot and killed an unarmed black man. the woman who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses wants to continue to do so. she objects gay marriage on religious grounds. >>> the death toll is rising following a crane collapse at the grand mosque. more than 200 are injured. >>> the three young american men who foiled a terror

mr. perry: he offers a barking carnival act that can best be described as trumpism part demagoguery and conspiracy theory. let no one be mistaken, donald trump's candidacy is a cancer on conservatism and it must be diagnosed, excise, and discarded. mark: all of this attention comes as he prepares to visit the us-mexico border tomorrow. cnn released a clip from his new interview with anderson cooper in which donald trump claimed he would "change his tone" as potus. he also took potshots at perry. all of this focus on trump and his rise in the polls, who is it good for an bad for? john: let's start with rick perry as a winner, first floor because he got to use the word perdition in a speech and he talked about trump as a carnival barker. attacking trump right now if you are where he is, which is right at number nine or number 10, it is good for him in terms of national coverage. good for kerry and good for him in terms of the debate. mark: it is also good for bush, because he is the front runner.

[applause] >> as rnc chairman i would have said, yeah, in someone else's lifetime. >> jon: okay. >> i mean, that's the truth of the matter. everyone knows and the history is welcome toed of the stress and strain between the bush-rove camp and the perry camp, even though bush encouraged then- democrat perry to switch parties. but it was matter of once he did, that once he got into camp, he's like, i got my own thing, i'm doing my own thing. that's true with a lot of these folks. and i think the reality is the party is changing and it's been changing going back not to the last two years or so, back to 2005, 2004 it's been changing. >> jon: back to the 1850s. >> back to the 1850s. >> jon: moves in a very different direction. >> very different party. then it was more about individuals. today it's more about insti

. >> i think what will cain is saying, what mr. perry is going to say next week, look, we're cutting out hundreds of billions of dollars every year in tax compliance costs and we're cutting out perhaps billions of hours people figuring out tax returns. i think you would get some economic benefits out of the cain plan. you worry about does it create the architecture to create taxes later, but-- >> what do you mean by that? >> well, as michele bachmann was playing, what if congress runs the sales tax from 9 to 20 and end up getting high income tax which we have now and high sales tax nationally that's a problem. initially, if you actually enacted it just like what i expect to be the perry plan, you have a lower rate, you have some simplicity versus the current system, you get more economic growth. >> why go to that problem when you go just go to the flat tax. >> without introducintroducing. take the income, subtract out investments and pay tax on what's left. it's so much cleaner, simpler, not, you know, aen doesn't run the risk that james

mr. perry's assessment as it relates to foreign affairs. we have seen major high dollar targets if you will succumb to the work of our national security community and the united states military and president barack obama. do we have the confidence that governor perry would ascend to the leadership if you do not present yourself in a serious manner and apt to make jokes and if you don't get a profound station and i'm not suggesting you stand before the world on a podium, but if you don't reject the inhead rock that we can understand that you reject it and were appalled and distance yourself from it or you give a profound statement about the lack of credibility of a confederate issued license plate regardless of the history preservation, that can be done in museums and private homes, if you don't distance yourself in the commander confederate organization that said people need to move on. then you are creating an atmosphere when you move into the general election if you are elected by the primary voters that you are not a serious candidate re

mrs. perry drew from her 17 years of nursing as a champion health-care issues such as breast cancer and childhood immunization. mrs. perry has been a strong advocate of economic development and tourism in texas leading trade missions to germany, japan, argentina, brazil and the czech republic to name a few. tourism brings fifty-six billion into the texas economy resulting in more than 500,000 jobs. please welcome anita perry.

mr. president, i am proud to be here to support governor perry's nomination. i believe he has the management experience we need in the department of energy right now to help pursue scientific discovery, to promote innovatio. and safeguard our nuclear weapons stockpile, to make progress on the cleanup and to partner with states like alaska that suffer from high energyon costs.

mr. perry is more conservative than mr. romney and he often uses spirit in his presentations. mr. omney is running as america's ceo. a man who has succeeded in private business and who knows how to handle the free marketplace. governor perry is pretty much running on that as well showcasing texas economic success story. the truth is that both romney and perry have many things in common. including good hair both them would offer a challenge to barack obama. at this point it's gobble to say which man has the most going for him even though governor perry leads in the polls he is untested in debate and americans don't know him very much. governor romney has big name recognition but many are suspicious of him not popular in republican primaries. the perry romney battle is a toss-up and could go either way depending on how the candidates perform in the upcoming debates. as they like to say in texas. there will be a high noon between these two men. a verbal shootout that will leave just one standing. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. let's bring in the aforementioned car
