cory booker was being cory booker, not a surrogate. >> guys, you're hopeless, let me tell you something. what's the word nauz -- nau serks ating mean? he said he was nauseating. >> cory booker is taking his career and putting himself as the truth teller above all this. if you hire him as your surrogate, you have to be aware of that because at the end of the day, it's about cory booker. he was not serving the president well, but he thought at the time he was serving himself. >> right, i think he's the man who shot liberty valance himself. he said, i like firing people like i like firing people. he quotes like he's si synchronizing swim ingwiming wi president. here he is, mayor of newark. >> i'm not about to sit here and indict private equity. we're getting to this ridiculous point in america. if you look at bain's record, they've done a lot to support businesses, to grow businesses, and this to me, i'm very uncomfortable. this kind of stuff is nauseating to me on both sides. it's nauseating to the american public. enough is enough. >> here he comes back with, i like to fire people, too.

i stand with cory. i stand with cory? with cory booker? i don't think i need a spoiler alert here if i let you know this the republican party in reality is very unlikely to actually stand with cory booker. mr. booker is the democratic progressive firebrand mayor of newark, new jersey who supports president obama's re-election. the republican party is making a big show of saying they are standing with him because they say cory booker is a victim who needs people to stand up for him because he can't stand up for himself. because it's the republican party, obviously, the person that is victimizing cory booker is mathra. i mean godzilla. i mean president obama. they sent out this e-mail to republican party supporters. it says, do you know what obama does with people who stand up for job creators? he silences them. they had pressured booker into taking back support of the free market. this is how far president obama has sunk, running an all-out assault on job creators and in his own democratic party, anybody who dares defend them must be silenc

>> apparently cory booker thought so. >>> which version of cory booker? he later came back -- >> a, not b. >> clearly there's a very big difference between those. two. >> let me bring you in on this. eric was defending the romney camp and he said these attacks are so old, they have cobwebs on them. we know it was an effective tool for newt gingrich. we brought that up time and time again. there seems to be a little fear factor even though they try to dismiss it as old with cobwebs which is a visual i don't need. >> i don't think it was an effective attack. gingrich used it against romney and so did rick perry and look where they ended up. the problem i think is that it is a very fine line. when team obama goes after bain capital, they go after private equity and that can translate into going after our capitalist, going after capitalism. so if you're going to attack private equity, which does in fact bring in money to help make unhealthy companies healthy, then you cross the line into a problematic area. >> tell me the example, specifically, where you beli

but someone forgot to tell cory booker.at he said on nbc's "meet the press" on sunday. >> this kind of stuff is nauseating to me on both sides. it's nauseating to the american public. enough is enough. stop attacking private equity. stop attacking jeremiah wright. this has got to stop. >> booker has since dialed it back calling obama's ads on romney reasonable. i'll talk to another man about being reasonable. newt gingrich. plus an interview on marion jones. about the olympic triumph and the doping scandal that sent her to prison. >> i realized laws in prison, in solitary in particular, that being number one and marion jones meant nothing in there. >> and only in america. robin gibb with a moment that changed his and hollywood's history. >>> we begin tonight with our big story. joining me now a man with a fascinating view of the campaign, formered the newt gingrich. mr. speaker, welcome back. >> good to be with you. >> i'm gripped in fact by what you're about to tell me of what you make of the bain capital fury given you ha

cory booker has apparently finally gotten the memo.ologizes and gets back on message. >> when mitt romney himself says i was a job creator, not a successful guy in private easity i didn't return great investment for my people and my firm but when he says he was a job creator, i think that is a record that deserves inquiry, and the fact that the president is talking about that is something i will echo. the president was not condemning all of private equity he was focusing in on a guy who was bragging about his job-creation record. to me that is fair game. >> we're only attacking mitt romney. we're within the boundaries of the game. don't worry wall street! we're not attacking you. we're on your side. that is the coded message being sent out that is pattenly obvious. why? because cory booker gets a lot of money from wall street. first of all he got $115,000 in 2002 for his mayoral run and then another $450,000 from wall street, and $30,800 from bain executives. he doesn't want to go after bain because bain is giving him money. in the las

scoop cory up. take him to nepal. he was later sent to a hospital in kathmandu. what was cory's issue? a myron heart attack? >> doctors still don't know. they roomed out anything related to altitude sickness. he's still in the hospital in kathmandu and planning to return to his home in boulder, colorado, shortly. cory is feeling much better, but she not going to return back to the expedition. >>> the next video in the "rtm" top ten countdown at number nine. gotcha! >> what you're looking at is surveillance cameras from a model's home in florida. and these two kids busted in. the sheriff's office says that they kicked in the wall. so they busted up the plaster and they also took this popcorn machine you see right there. >> how do you walk down the street way popcorn machine without looking ridiculous? >> honestly, i don't know. >> we've got nothing better to do than wreak havoc? >> they need an activity like go a boxing club or something. join the eagle scouts. learn how to help old people. instead,

that's a different cory booker. the phone and said you wanted to be the rising superstar in the democratic party that you've been and continue to get the support of the democratic party? i'm guessing, they said then go up there and start walking it back. >> i think he's untouchable. >> interesting thing is last night, he continued to walk back his statements and now he's placing the blame on the g.o.p. for taking them out of context. but last night, i was flipping around to see how all the different networks and cable operations were going to handle the cory booker comments and you know what? on the left and on the right, they were handled in the same way. in fact, on the left, they were a little bit, you know, talking more openly about what he had said so i don't know if that's going to stand up that he can blame the g.o.p. for that. >> for the last 18 months, i'm trying to get judith baxter on the phone. it turns out this linguistic expert was on an 18 study into speech pat -- patterns including two companies on t

cory booker doesn't believe that.f cory booker doesn't believe that that's fine but at the same time cory booker is not setting policy for how this campaign is run. he backtracked on his comments yesterday on another station and bottom line i think he is acknowledged that what he said was not something that reflected either his views or the views of the obama campaign. martha: i think the president is absolutely right it does go to the core of what this whole campaign is about and the argument with both sides and how they see corporate america. also future of the economy. >> quickly, martha, that atlantic point, is obama who he said he was in 2008? he is not. it is bigger than bain. much bigger. martha: see you later tonight on "the five.". >> you will. see you at 5:00. gregg: national debt setting records each and every second of every day but wait until you hear what the white house just spent $20 million of your money on. martha: he recorded his argument in which a teacher told him he could be arrested for slanderi

booker being nauseated by a campaign ad. >> and the rnc has i'll stand with cory petitions. >> and cory booker as far as i can tell was responding partly to that 30-second ad about a worldwide grinding systems that is accuses bain of coming in and they said if we lose money, bain makes money. if we make money, bain makes money. it made it sound like the producers. this company going around and buying companies and shutting them down and somehow magically making a bunch of money. it's true if you watch that an, you don't necessarily get an accurate viewpoint of what the private equity does. i think that debate is a bigger debate than you can probably have in a 30-second campaign ad. >> if i can just ad, i completely agree. the idea of paralleling putting reverend wright and the work of bain is inaccurate. but also in fairness, i think there's a certain context we need to think about mayor booker's remarks. one thing i think, i think we can all agree, the president he probably does not have a more effective surrogate than cory booker. he has done a great keel to support the president up t

this is what cory booker is talking about when he says enough is enough. booker says he's nau urks srnau attacks on bain capital? no, he's not doing any interviews but things changed during the day so he's going to be with rachel maddow tonight on her program, which is great. but i would like to know if mr. booker has thought about what this country would look like if mitt romney and these righties get control of our government again. mr. mayor, have you read the ryan plan? do you know what it says? do you know what these folks want to do? go read that. then you're going to want to throw up. i mean, i'm nauseated by people being laid off, losing their health care, their pension, their jobs to these as a rule tours who all they care about is increasing profits for their shareholders. democrats don't need surrogates like this, mr. mayor. if mr. romney becomes president of the united states, his record in the private industry is not only fair game, it is the only game. this is what we have to talk about. because this is what he goes out on the campaign trail

i'm looking forward to the cory booker interview.ank you. that's an incredible segway. i'm looking forward to it. >> glad you're back. >> thank you. i appreciate it. thanks to you at home for staying with us for the next hour. if you go to the homepage of republican party right now, if you type gop.com into your web brow

i stand with cory. >> we ran out of cigarettes. >> i had some. >> do we all stand with cory? >> i do. >> no. >> i stand with what i said a minute ago. >> do you stand with cory? >> i stand with what i said a minute ago. you are not going to do this to me. >> i knew it. he would be on an rnc ad. >> i stand with what i said a few minutes ago. >> instead of making fun of it because it will come back to bite you in the butt, try to characterize what happened with booker. what was he trying to say about bain and the criticisms about bain and the vampire and the different characterizations that take things too far. >> the good point is, you just brought up vampire. republicans have been doing it, too. newt gingrich did it. rick perry did it. there's been shameless demography with it. i was disgusted with republicans doing it. democrats are disgusted that barack obama is doing it. it comes to the point there are a lot of people, a lot of people that run the democratic party who are concerned about the populous campaign that team obama is running. you voice that. listen, if cory book

the damage is going to be done to cory's booker's ambition. he is and they don't care. new jersey is not a battleground state. >> the rnc would like to make him the poster child. >> the rnc want to talk about romney's record at bain taking companies apart. let's keep that as the front line. >> exactly. there are a couple of national polls out today of registered voters showing president obama's leading washington post abc news has the president up 49 to 46 nationally. wall street journal has it at 47 to 43. again, the president up. what do you make of that? >> nothing. >> i agree. >> we are an eternity away from the election. >> so far away. these are just voters. why are people wasting their time on polls? >> they have to write a story and there is not much else to talk about right now. so we are sort of at a lull period in the presidential campaign. >> that's very normal this time of year and every four years. it's quiet relatively quiet. the voters aren't paying attention yet. what will really matters, the point, there are two things voters

. >> pastor steve cory leads churches in bethlehem. cory says they do many unorthodox things that hope is only built on the solid rock of jesus christ. >> recent 60 minutes report blamed israel for the christian exodus. holy land arabs must share the blame. pastor cory told gary lane what palastinian believers are facing. >> you have christians afraid to walk with crosses. christians afraid to walk with bibles. the fear doesn't come out of shame. it is continuous being harassed and oppressed and pushed aside by uneducated extremists. i heard people say i will pray them. i don't think so, pray for boldness. i want christians to come to pray at the churches. we need churches to pray and give to evangelicals so we can expand. we have seven active ministries. only way to make seven fourteen, is to pray. >> what is your experience, how do you respond to them being antiisrael. >> you can't be christian and antiisrael. jesus was a jew. god spoke about the nation of israel. i love the palastinian muslims, the palastinian christians. i love the

now we have cory booker and one has to wonder were it not for cory booker's gaffe would we not have heard those strong words from the president forming an attack on mitt romney's bain capital book ground. >> i think the surprise is from which side of the aisle it came from. sooner or later we were going to have this debate. i paid close attention to what the president said in chicago yesterday, and i think there's a lot of merit to it. what he's essentially saying is mitt romney had to respond to his investors. that was his job. i have an entirely different role. my role here is the general welfare of the american people. mitt romney would not have had to be guided by an 8% unemployment rate when he was running a private equity firm, but that's the job of the president of the united states, and one doesn't necessarily transfer to the other. >> a little bit later we will talk about this new nbc news poll that's out regarding some of these issues, but "the washington post"/abc news poll asked regarding handling of the economy, michael. it shows president obama and mitt romney both at 47% th

that's cory booker. did say romney would make a good mayor so i guess we made him a mayor overnight. we know the comments by now. third world education. he was greeted, not so warmly by annul of people in philadelphia. michael nutter went after romney as well. >> i think that part of the problem is there is a flip-flop. until recently romney was talking about cutting education budgets. even eliminating the department of education or melding it into another department. where is he coming from? i think there is concern about that. a lot of what he's saying has already been said by president obama and acted on by him so it is kind of interesting. >> one of the pushback issues was the issue of unions. romney accused of president of basically benn being in bed with the unions and his people came out and said that couldn't be further from the truth. he's talk about charter schools. if you're in a room full of teachers, they are on the attack as soon as you bring that up. >> yeah. i can't imagine anybody accusi

the president came out in support of cory booker yesterday. take a listen. >> i think cory booker is an outstanding mayor. he's doing great work in newark and obviously helping to turn that city around. >> do you think all of this has hurt in any way cory booker's political future? >> it's hard to imagine that it has. steve is absolutely right that it does highlight his wall street ties and that may damage him in the minds of some on the left. but i think there was a lot of cheering for what he was saying on both sides, although i did hear some disappointment from people who liked his first statement that he was sort of marched in front of the firing squad and ended up walking it back. look, i spoke to democrats who agreed with booker that they were uncomfortable with this sort of veering into economic populism, that these attacks on bain were taking and felt like the president did a much better job yesterday of walking that fine line of saying, yes, we have to examine romney's record but we can't turn into -- become anti-business. >> i want t

hello cory. how are you?, jimmy. [ applause ] >> jimmy: thank you for doing this. >> yeah. >> jimmy: have you seen anything yet? >> ah -- i looked in here --? >> jimmy: yeah, yeah -- >> but it's all dark and -- >> jimmy: you have to put your eye right up to the thing and that way you can really look in there -- >> i think maybe, like, the batteries are dead. >> jimmy: there are no batteries. you can't see anything through that at all? >> well -- there's, like, i mean, i guess it's like, the sky but it's like really dark, because up in the atmosphere it's just dark, so -- i can't see anything, it's just a bunch of darkness. >> jimmy: okay. have you ever seen any strange objects in the sky before? >> ah -- well, not really, like, one time i was just walking and this has never happened but this bird just, it just hit me in the head. >> jimmy: a bird? >> yeah, it only happened to me once and i'm like, what's wrong with that bird? and, you know, he must have, i don't know, like, could have been on drugs. [ laughte

who is right cory booker or president obama. >> i have the greatest respect for mayor cory booker, butresident obama has the argument because this is the core of mitt romney's campaign. that he is a job createor. it is perfectly appropriate to go after that core to question his experience with regard to creating jobs, the creation of jobs, look, i mean, private equity is part and parcel of a wall street culture that we've seen in this country get a lot of people in a lot of trouble. i mean, you have people making--who are in private equity like the rest of wall street making huge bets with other people's money. and if the people who are making the bets get a lot of money, as is the case of private equity they get their money in financial gain. but they are not risking their own capital. and if the bets go wrong, you know what happens. i mean, we've seen it already. those bets going wrong not can effect the financial system but can cause an awful lot of people to lose their jobs. the point the president is making is that we don't want that type of mentality to be in charge of the econom

i love cory booker. he's a great mayor.f my house was on fire, i would hope he's my next door neighbor. on this i agree with what he said later. this is a legitimate area for discussion. >> well, he said that the attacks are nauseating. and. >> he was talking generally about the negative tenor of -- i understand andrea, we're running against an opponent who's 90% of the media he's running, he's runs tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars of media have been negative. he was talking about that. he was talking about this issue last week with the super pac and the proposal relative to reverend wright. he was talking about a whole range of things. but on this particular -- in this particular instance, he was just wrong. there are specific instances here that are speak to an economic theory that isn't the right theory for the country. when bain capital can bankrupt companies, walk away with tens of millions of dollars while workers are left without their benefits, with reduced or without retirement health care benefits and

pastor steve cory says things calmed down until he toured the u.s. talking about arab struggles. >> i was on cbn and needing to grow in east jerusalem. unfortunately a lot of people's mindsets, it is to put fear and submission in the heart of every christian in the middle east. >> they are pretty effective. >> within 24 hours, cory was given an eviction notice even though they are paid a year ahead. >> the lord to make a miracle, we can have our own place. we found a five-story building. he wants christians to stand with him practically and in prayer for their own building. he believes the only way is to be there. julie stall, cbn news, jerusalem. >>> u.s. state department hail today revolutions taking place in the middle east and it will take time to end human rights abuses. department issues the annual report, even though there are free elections take place in egypt -- there is a christian mother of three who faces death. the country convicted asi bibi. >> we are concerned about the effec effects, the blasphemy law, asi bibi's case. it is a tough d

romney campaign which used obama supporters to make its point including newark, new jersey, mayor cory booker. >> have you had enough of president obama's attacks on free enterprise? his own key supporters have. cory booker of new jersey. >> i have to say, i'm not here to indict private equity. >> even obama's supporters have had enough. >> it's knaus eighting the the american public. enough is enough. >> mayor booker criticized the attacks on bain. but the ad left out what else he said. which was critical of both campaigns. >> this kind of stuff is it nauseating to me on both sides. it's nauseating to the american public. enough is enough. stop attacking private equity, stop attacking jeremiah wright, this stuff has got to stop. what it does, it undermines to me what this country should be focused on. >> that was mayor booker sunday morning. by sunday evening, mayor booker was out with a youtube video downplaying his differences with the campaign and toeing towing what seems to be the official line. >> mitt romney has made his business record a centerpiece of his campaign. he's talked

-- he's standing right there, hello, cory. [ applause ] last night, cory mentioned that he was borrowing friend's dog so he could take it to the park to help him meet women today. that's correct, right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: okay. now -- >> i did. >> jimmy: there are very few things that interest me more than watching cory try to pick girls up with a rental dog, so, we sent a camera crew along -- and have you had success doing this before? with the dog? >> ah -- no, not really. >> jimmy: not really. let's see how it went with cory today. >> all right, so -- here we are at the dog park. this is where the girls are at. and the dogs, that's why i brought you. look at that. let's go talk to her. you just be cute, just keep looking like you look and i guarantee you she's going to like me. and you, too, i guess. hey, wow. i noticed you -- i noticed you noticing me, yeah, this is my dog. >> adorable. >> yeah. he's cute, i just -- my friend let me borrow him just so i could meet girls like you. i want to get straight to the point here. do you -- you got a boyfriend? >> um -- not at the moment. >> y

he was so scared. >> minutes later, this guy runs up to cory and says the dog belonged to his brother and had been snatched. >> animal rights. >> and animal rescue decided to take him, then took him to this vet who helped healed him. he is now expected to be adopted. police arrested 21-year-old quincy mcdonnell and charged him with obstruction in this case. >> i'm glad this cory guy was around, too, and did something about it. good job, cory. >>> i'm about to show you video from a dramatic robbery in mill walk ib at a george webb restaurant, but i also want you to listen to the audio as well. what you're looking at is a robbery suspect who comes in with a shotgun and is demanding money from the two ploem employ that are working there. >> open this -- >> and screaming at them. >> yes, he is subpoena but watch this. as the employee smarts back at him. >> shut up. and you wait. i said, wait. >> she told him to shut up and wait while she needed to enter a pass code to get the money out of the machine and kept going beyond that. >> ain't going to get nothing if you shoot me now. >> [ bleep
