moderator and meet the press david gregory joins us from ames, iowa. does governor perry's entrance into the race diminish the significance of finishing among the frontrunners. >> splits the screen. governor perry is coming in at a time when there's a lot of republican money on the sidelines and there's still a lot of excitement yet to be generated among republican primary voters who don't love the field right now. they know that this is a high stakes election and the republican primary voters don't like president obama. he's coming in at a good moment. >> the name of the game, of course, is fundraising at this point. if you're near the bottom of the pile tonight and then rick perry gets into the race, are you looking at a nail in the cough infinally? >> yes, i think you are. it's a test of viability, a test of organization in iowa. if you're not breaking through in the polls and getting a lot of media attention and not raising the money, like i said, it's still on the sidelines, you have some problems. this is the first test for governor perry. how mu

and now to david gregory. of course the host of "meet the press." david, you've been watching all of these goings on for so long. the last 24 hours has just been an emotional roller coaster. >> i just think that's striking to bill on what brian is saying there's no break here. crisis averted and now we're on to more fighting. the president really laid it out. i was reminded of the president's remarks back in april when the government shut down was averted the president appeared with washington monument behind him and he visited the lincoln memorial, the jefferson memorial later that day and met with kids. he said this is a good thing. the leaders compromised and washington did a good thing. first of all it was debatable it was a good thing then. and certainly here there's no sense we all came together. this wasn't so much compromise as some way to end the standoff that left nobody happy. and leaves in place huge idealogical differences about the role of govts, the role of taxes. the liberty to tax more, tax less or to cut entitlement programs as the

. >> david gregory here. of this process, what compels this super committee to take up the hard issues like tax reform, entitlement spending. is there any mechanism in place that makes them -- >> i can tell you what it is. on the republican side, it is the prospect of almost $1 trillion in defense cuts over the next ten years. >> correct. >> you combine the down payment with what could happen. on the democratic side, of course, it is cuts in programs that are already, as barney said, taking serious hits and for first time going into medicare. i agree with barney. even though it is limited to providers and health insurance plans, the bottom line is we think medicare is critically important and we're ready to fight for it. so you have a compelling political case on both sides, democrats and republicans, to get something done. i hope something significant. >> first of all, this question of entitlement reform, i don't think reducing the income of a 78-year-old woman living on $19,000 a year is reform. so i hope t

why i think that david gregory did a pretty good job of calling her out there in terms of her hypocrisy but so basically she's saying that if you're a gay family then you're not you're not actually family you don't count maybe you shouldn't even be people you just don't count period ask you this is not a crazy idea is that a crazy idea i mean every regular is horrible says that back in two thousand and four she said that you guys have had years to bring this one up why are you bringing it up now i mean where do you think you guys to me for i david gregory let me in the early years i think is going on in the election right now and if you look at recent polling right the majority of americans actually approve of same sex marriage i'm sorry but the tides are changing the world is changing and it's shifting opinions are shifting so to me to have candidates come out and openly say that they don't think that gay families count as families that's pretty ludicrous and that's crazy and that is a huge portion of the american population they're calling not a person do you think that that's crazy o

i'll welcome david gregory to join us now. >> it is early summer testing.nthusiasm -- i think enthusiasm begets organization. i think that's what michele bachmann benefited from. as i've been going around, chuck, michele bachmann is in sync with a lot of the mood of the primary voter on the republican side right now. they are enthusiastic and angry. they want to send a message to president obama and she seemed to capture that in a great way with poise and a strong message. still a lot of vulnerabilities down the road for her, but in terms of capturing the lightning, she's done it. >> our campaign had news about how michele bachmann was waivering on accepting the invitation tomorrow night to speak in waterloo, iowa. rick perry accepted and so did michele bachmann. she looked like she was about to get her shot at romney, perry just trumped her. >> no question about it. governor perry has all the about to get attention from the press to raise a lot of money, which he's been amazing at as texas governor with not a lot of barriers in the way to giving to guberna

david gregory is moderator of "meet the press" and joins us live from washington. good morning. >> good morning. >> so this was the deadliest single attack on americans since this war began in afghanistan, and itness in an area where neither the u.s. or nato have any strong hold over. i guess my question is is this now going to change the way the u.s. operates in the region until troop withdrawal? >> it is ultimately to route the taliban in particular areas and the southern part of the country was the most active and dangerous area as you get toward those safe havens that are in pakistan that allow insurgents to come over the border and go back and forth, but in this part of the country, as you're looking in wardak province which is not that far outside kabul, there were a lot of success stories about wardak province and how they organize politically and how security gains were made -- those gain his been met and goal his been met. i think the concern now is as the u.s. starts to withdraw, afghan forces take the lead. can they actually hold the ground that the u.s.

goes to senator john mccain now the arizona republican was on meet the press on sunday and host david gregory was discussing the war in afghanistan the president's decision to begin withdrawal of the surge forces by next summer and listen to john mccain when he was asked about this issue. well first of all we're in the ten years thing the fact is that we've only had assured for a couple of years now the president announced it as you know what west point so we've had a very short time there's no. i'm sorry that i was here john mccain correctly is he insinuating that the war in afghanistan is really only been going on for three years can't know now is dr mccain but so are you can't simply claim with the war started it when it's convenient for your particular stance see this october seventh the u.s. will mark the ten year anniversary of this war ten long costly years mccain is now saying that this war only started with the search instead of the mccain as a decorated war vet he will sell it as a p.o.w. in north vietnam for five years he is entitled to speak his mind but it's comments come off as
