jeremiah wright, jr. where's he at? there he is.hat's him. >> senator obama then warned of a quote, quiet riot building in the african-american community in the wake of hurricane katrina and other factors which he said the bush administration was neglecting. as we said, this tape isn't new, only part of it is out there, and the hyping of it may have as much to do with politics and little to do with content. we'll see. more is supposed to be released later tonight. joining us, paul begala who advises the leading pro-obama super pac and gloria borger. also, the founder of your black world.com and eric erickson. paul, what's your reaction to all this? >> you know, a long time ago, a veteran journalist by the name of john king was with the associated press and i was complaining about something they weren't covering. he pointed out they had already covered it. he wrote the word news on his notepad, and covered up the s. it's a five-year-old speech, cnn covered it five years ago. maybe it's shocking. it turns out, i follow this more close

we begin with senator obama, repeatedly praising the reverend reverend jeremiah wright, who was in the crowd. keep in mind, by the time the speech was delivered in june of 2007, reverend wright was a known quantity in the world of politics, dis-invited to barack obama's campaign announceility, and appeared in "hannity" months earlier, as he attempted to defend his controversial views. by the way, his last appearance on tv during that campaign. yet, here's what then-senator obama said about him then. >> then i have to give a special shoutout to my pastor... the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me -- [chuckles] ... he's a friend and a great leader, not just in chicago but across the country. please, everybody, give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor, dr. reverend jeremiah wright.

, and then the next year, no more jeremiah wright. >> right.ber that when he was making that shout-out to jeremiah wright, it wasn't until sometime much later that jeremiah wright really became an issuend sort of blew up and was heavily covered in the media. now, to be honest with you, some democratic strategists will conclude and have said, this isn't that flattering to then senator obama, having his words like this dissected, not flattering at all, but as a political matter, the sense among democrats i've talked to is they believe this is not likely to have that big an impact on the obama campaign, and one strategist said if this is the october surprise republicans probably should have used it in the last election. >> and to that couple seconds left, october surprise. is this something that there's a feeling that the campaign was working with these conservative media outlets, or is this something that the conservative media outlets felt they could just give to work before the big debate? >> obviously there are suspicion on both sides because

president obama also praised jeremiah wright, calling him a friend and leader.ttempt by romney supporters to shift the focus away from romney's 47% secret videotape. romney's campaign says they had no involvement in the release. they even go so far as to say, what's the news? i don't know. that's straight from romney's communications director. >> right. you have to wonder, will this be an issue in tonight's debate. the jeremiah wright thing was a racially tinged scandal, led the president to give the speech in philadelphia that was widely hailed, saying, look, race is a complex issue in the country, always has been. we have yet to perfect and come to terms with yet. here we are again. we'll see if this has an impact and whose base it may rile up or not rile up. >> yeah. a lot of people are questioning whether or not it's news. this was a covered speech. but according to some even within the abc family, they said at the time, the campaign only put out prepared remarks in a prepared newspaper, posted only a nine-minute edited version. abc and networks, was based o

not my friend or he really wasn't my preacher really never denied any of that it came out the jeremiah wright said god damn it they're there for those speeches which is true. if you look at wright's rhetoric from the time that he was pastoring obama when obama was in the church didn't change these are all the same things did you do you actually read the whole speech where he said god damn america i did speeches don't you think god would condemn america for the things the right god would condemn for america for if they were true it is four hundred years of serious slavery and this was was true no i do believe that four hundred years of slavery of this kind is true and the reality is that obviously god does hold each human being accountable for his actions you know it gives it the logical discussion right now but the reality is he was using was racial politics obama when it was found out that he was under his. guidance said oh i don't want to be associated with that that's racial politics and the media let i'm going to buy on that you know it's really got about you never heard about it during t

romney's downfall and i think that's the fact of the better here conservatives are upset that jeremiah wright wasn't brooke obama's downfall not because of what was said or how the president responded this is about politics to them in the context of what was so now it's about it's about fairness treating people fairly and the reality is obama gets by so often because the media lets him that money does not if obama had something like forty seven percent like mitt romney did and he has not been able to get that when most people cling to their guns and their religion and you know in that. well but don't know if there was proof. that wasn't true it's obama as it is on the republican can't. i think there's a double standard mark as you're taking over i think that there's an attempt at divisiveness here that's what this is for obviously we're going to close the election i don't think there's that many people who are undecided but i think that you have to remember as far as i know this is just from the news i don't know that we can say this is the conservative attack the republican attack i think th

reverend jeremiah wright jr. where's he at? there he is. that's -- that's him. that's him right there. >> greta: now, with this newly surfaced complete video have any impact on the race? former speaker of the house is here, newt gingrich. >> good to be with you. >> greta: i am curious whether you think the complete tapeville any impact whatsoever on the race? >> oh, i think it has some impact. it's a little bit like joe biden saying, they want to put you back in chains. it's a reminder of the depth of dishonesty, the appeals to racism, the factual false hoods that are at the heart of the modern left. what then senator obama said was factually false. new orleans got far more money than new york tea and a great deal of mon that he was not matched by the stafford act. the process of the federal government taking care of the people of new orleans, in fact, was far larger because of the problem was much larger. huan entire city that was a disaster, as opposed to the immediate crisis of 9/11 and the world trade center. but factual inaccuracies are at the heart of the

think mitt romney in the past has distanced himself away from anything that had to deal with jeremiah wright and connection with obama and his camp said i don't see this as news worthy and had absolutely nothing to do with it. kind of be surprised if they would go there. >> in the news cycle until 9:00 tonight when the debate gets rolling. >>> voters in pennsylvania will not have to show a photo id before casting their presidential ballot next month. a judge has put a temporary hold on the state's new law. abc's t.j. winick explains. >> reporter: 93-year-old vivian applewhite cast her first vote for president back in 1932 for franklin roosevelt. but because she didn't have the required documents to obtain a photo i.d. she almost didn't have a chance to vote this november. it turns out applewhite will be able to vote after a judge blocked pennsylvania's controversial new voter i.d. law from taking full effect before the presidential election. >> at the end of the day this is a victory for democrats because they can argue that no longer would the kind of voters that they want to bring to the p

again, after that jeremiah wright situation, the big controversy of his campaign came out and gave ahat called for racial reconciliation. he said, look, as a country we have not gotten the issue of race relations right and called for unity and distanced himself from jeremiah wright. officially. so it is complicated as always. >> highly sensitive. the hunt is on along the u.s./mexico border for those responsible for the death of an american border patrol agent. 30-year-old nicholas ivy was killed early yesterday in what is being described as an ambush. another agent was also wounded in the attack. what is unclear is whether ivy's death was the work of one of mexico's drug cartels. he was killed in an area that is notorious for drug trafficking. >>> at least eight wildfires are burning in northwestern minnesota this morning. fueled by powerful wind and severe drought conditions. one fire is finally under control after destroying about a half dozen homes in the town of carlshead. it burned through 12 square miles and forced evacuation of half of the town including a school and a nursing

earlier, we played the clip about where he praised jeremiah wright. and now the difference of the response of hurricane katrina to hurricane andrew. >> down in new orleans, there is a federal law called the stafford act. the local government has to give a match. here is the thing. when 9/11 happened in new york city, they waved the stafford act. forget that dollar you have to put in. here is $10. and that was the right thing to do. when hurricane andrew struck in florida, they said look at this devastation, don't expect you to put that money in. what's happening in new orleans? where is your dollar, where is your stafford act money? makes no sense. tells me the but let hasn't been taken out. tells me that somehow the people in new orleans, they don't care about as much. >> president obama, that was five years ago. decide for yourself whether this shows a side of barack obama never been seen before as the daily caller suggestsor nothing new. the president seems to be speaking at a difference cadence and a different kind of voice than he does in other s

obama made praising his pastor at the time, the reverend jeremiah wright. less than a year later, president obama cut ties with mr. wright after clips came out of the pastor's racially charged sermons. the obama campaign released a statement last night, calling the video a, quote, transparent attempt to change the subject ahead of the debate. the romney campaign distanced itself from the video saying it had no involvement with the release. paul ryan speaking about a moral tipping point in united states, six months before romney's 47% remark. >> before too long we could become a society we were never, ever intended to be. we could become a society where the net majority of americans are takers, not makers. today 70% of americans get more benefit from the federal government in dollar value than they pay back in taxes. you could argue that we're already past that tipping point. the good news is, survey after survey, poll after poll, still shows that we are a center right 70/0 country. 70% of americans want the american dream. they believe the american idea. on
