donald. run for president. he did it convincingly enough to fool many of our major league pundits but i said the presidential campaign stuff was all a lie from the start. every day of it. and donald has no argument with me now over that one. now, the only thing that seems to bother him is saying that he lies about his wealth. he also tweeted this to me today. i heard, because his show is unwatchable, that lawrence has made many false statements last night about me. maybe i should sue him. that's awfully soft for donald, isn't it? he doesn't usually sound like a maybe kind of guy. maybe i should sue him. donald trump is never going to sue me for two with reasons. first, he knows he could never prove that a single thing i've said about him is untrue, and second, and this is by far the most important one, donald trump will never sue me because i know his big secret, his biggest secret and he knows that i know it. donald trump cannot afford to sue me. and he knows it.

thank you, donald. here's a preview of president obama's appearance later on tonight on "the tonight show." >> have you been watching the gop debates? >> i'm going to wait until everybody's voted off of the island. >> yeah really? [ applause ] >> once they narrow it down to >>> america's never seen a candidate like herman cain. we need you to get involved because together we can do this. we can take this country back. ♪ i am america one voice united we stand ♪ i am america one voice ♪ >> in the spotlight tonight, why even herman cain's campaign ads cannot convince us that he is really running for president. as has been reported here and elsewhere, herman cain continues to earn an income as a motivational speaker while he's supposed to be running for president. he continues to run his so-called campaign on a skeleton crew, headed by this man who stars in cain's newest campaign ad. >> tomorrow, it's one day closer to the white house. i really believe that herman cain will put united back in the united sta

donald trump for the hour. this is "piers morgan tonight." donald, thank you for inviting me in your -- this is almost the lair of the 1% of the 1%. >> thank you for being here. >> 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 they have justification for the 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's 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 do -- i have a big building right there. 40 wall street. it's actually the tallest building i

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

well, thanks so much, donald. we appreciate it.aybe we'll see her on one of your shows. >> well, you'll see her someplace. but she's got -- she's a great person. and what happened to her was absolutely outrageous, erin. and good luck with your show, it's going to be great. >> thank you so much, donald. we'll be talking to donald again, soon. thanks again. now let's bring in paul callen, a former prosecutor and attorney following the case for us. i just want to follow up as donald was saying and matthew, that they want to come back to the united states as soon as possible. can you just explain to me what happens from here? i mean, is this really done? or could there be further appeals? >> well, there is an element of danger. this case now can be taken to italy's highest court, italy's supreme court. the prosecutor could ask that the appellate court's decision reversing the conviction be changed. and the murder conviction reinstated. i don't think there's really any possibility of that happening. the evidence was so bad in the case.

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,

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

>> i had dinner with donald trump the other night -- >> i had dinner with donald trump the other night. >> perry, i have no reason to think otherwise. that's not a definitive yes i believe. >> it's a distractive issue. >> he is eligible to serve. >> karl rove is worried. >> these kind of things do not help. >> i think rick perry may be trying to be too cute. >> donald trump, you associate yourself with a nutty view that and you damage yourself. because it starts to marginalize you. don't associate yourself with sort of this nutty fringe group. >> trump is a vulgar clown. >> rove is even more worried about becky, becky, becky stan. >> cain has had a couple of -- >> he didn't know what the right of return was. he didn't understand what neoconservatives were. apples and oranges. >> apples and oranges. >> then we say he may not be up to this task. >> i'm happy to be part of that process. >> well, if you don't run chris christie, romney will be the nominee. bhv >>> president obama is on a fund-raising swing this night. the friends an supports in las vegas and hollywood is making sure he wil

i was having fun with donald trump. look, 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 delegitimize ing 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 high

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

why would you join a club that requires donald trump's endorsement?p him. i don't even understand t what has donald trump actually done besides a reality show, of late, that would make him some kind of -- especially in this day and age, with jobs, with the economy, with the wars, how is donald trump proven he has any prowess in any of those fields in it is crazy. >> michele bachmann has had lunch with him on three times. what happens on the third lunch, i don't know? >> guess what no one else want was to lunch with michele bachmann. let's be honest. that is actually why she had to go, because donald trump is the last person who will say yes to michelle bachmann. >> what is your take on had herman cain's latest rise to the top of the gop field? >> well, i guess you call his followers 999 percenters, i don't know. i don't really understand it, what was fascinating is he made his money with god father pizza and burger king, right? and then i hawas looking up his economic guy, rich lowery who came one his plan and that guy he was the senior vice president

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 . how much does a donald trump endorsement matter?y are all making this pilgrimage. >> i don't think he moves votes in lodge part. >> why do they see him. >> because its easier to have him on your side than not. and you don't want to anger donald trump in any way. you want to make sure you pay respect to him and honor his business record, honor the packet if a he's such an immediate superstar and can draw a crowd to interviews and all that. but i don't think he's the type of endorsement that despite any type of bump he had early on in the policy, to say voters will follow donald trump 's lead. >> what about sarah palin? >> herself imposed deadline -- >> i mean for endorsement. >> i think it means more than donald trump . sarah palin was backers, a core group of committed folks who are behind her and can differentiate the candidates in a primary. they will go for the same voters. there are people that would love to see her run obviously in iowa and elsewhere. i think that's a more coveted endorsement than donald trump . if she's inclin

a funeral service for jenny and donald patterson who died when their east baltimore home caught fire. >> they will be sorely missed. >> reporter: jenny patterson, who was 80 was a morgan state graduate and retired schoolteacher. she was also a 60 year member of delta sigma thata sore orty. >> you know they were educators so they have affected the lives of many people and that's why you see such an outpouring of love here tonight. >> donald patterson was 78. he was the lifelong educator himself and became a soup superintendent of schools. >> he worked very hard with students in moving them ahead. and even after they retired they still worked with young people. >> after years of dedication to their careers, life brought the couple together. they met and married in 1987. those who knew them say they were dedicated to a life of service something and the students here can see what commitment to the community does. >> reporter: donald patterson is survived by a son who is now an adult and several, 3 in fact grandsons. we should point out that burial services are scheduled for tomorrow. dona

why does donald trump keep saying this?nes. look, bottom line as we've seen over the past couple days rick perry has got himself in a little bit of trouble because he has expressed some doubt whether or not president obama was born here in the united states. but he did do an interview in florida yesterday. he said he was just having some fun. donald trump in an interview with piers morgan says this is an issue that could help perry in the primary, but might not help him in the general election. my take is bottom line i don't think it's going to help him in the primary, as we know all people really care about is the economy, the economy, and one more thing, the economy. so rick perry trying to move on, donald trump trying to keep it in the headlines. >> you've got some staffing changes to announce on the campaign trail. bachmann, gingrich going some reorganizing. >> we are in the final sprint to the iowa caucus, the new hampshire primary. newt gingrich has now added four people up in new hampshire to try to help him win the
