and maggie haberman, senior writer for "politico." thank you both for joining me tonight. >> good to be here. >> thank you. >> chris, this twilight zone, how can this happen? here's their favorite killer, state sanctioned killer up there. they boo him after he calls them heartless. >> it was such a moment of cognitive dissidence for a liberal such as myself watching and saying, you know, i was tweeting, rick perry is right on this. not only was he right, i thought it was so interesting he clearly chose the wrong vocabulary to defend the decision. right? first of all, the way that you defend that policy to that crowd which is essentially indefensible, in that context, is to talk in a hard headed practical way. i mean, he sort of got to it in the end, they're going to be a drag on our society. that's the kind of language he used. you do not defend a policy in this context by pointing to the policy's basic compassion. because compassion, the ethos of compassion is viewed are derision and contempt by the base right now. i feel like the re

that maggie smith can act. (laughter) of course, there's one foreigners really robbing america-- barack obama. (laughter) yesterday obama unveiled his deficit reduction plan with yet another fiery speech from the rose garden. i am beginning to think he has locked himself out of the white house and is afraid to admit he can't find his keys. (laughter) folks, you don't to be a rocket scientist to understand that the u.s. needs money. which is good because we have laid off all of our rocket scientists. (laughter) by taxing the rich, there is a name for what obama is trying to do here. >> when you pick one area of the economy and you say we're going to tax those people-- because most people are not those people-- that's class warfare. >> the president wants to move down the class warfare path. >> i don't think i would describe class warfare as leader >> stephen: yes! it is class warfare! and that is unfair for rich people who, generally speaking, would prefer not to fight our wars. (laughter) meanwhile, president o

does not heed the thousands of protesters who gathered on thomas maggie square in two thousand and seven the bronze soldier monument to the liberators of talent was moved to the city's outskirts today there is nothing but its old spot. we never thought we would live to hear my grandfather asking for advice on whether he should wear his medals when he goes out on may ninth. and never occurred to us that a public display of decorations awarded for the fight against fascism might be banned in europe that was responsible for the loss of so many lives there. on victory day may the ninth people still bring flowers not only to the military cemetery but also to the square the formal location of the bronze soldier. wealthy british stock. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max conjure for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to cause a report on. a stone it was the first former soviet republic to join the eurozone. hamann bought a bonna is president of the talon institute for economics and management he knows only too well the price to s

maggie, this is a reminder, okay, back to tim pawlenty.for four, five, over the last six years, who was just a delightful person behind the scenes. his personality, it never came out during the campaign. >> no. he seemed so constrained. so constricted. he was packaged. he was molded into something that he never quite fit for. that's exactly who we thought we were getting. this is who i remembered from -- >> somebody said he was sort of like the cool, dorky dad. >> that's right. >> a little dorky but a little cool. >> caught on camera with the insult dog or whatever his name is. this is not who showed up. and i think it's proof that when you run for president if you're not totally comfortable in your own skin it does show to voters. people see that you're not doing what you should be doing. >> that brings us to tonight. rick perry, mitt romney. mitt romney's been a guy that's been described as somebody that you're not sure if he's comfortable in his own skin. rick perry seems like, hey, i am who i am. >> one thing about mitt romney, i think

maggie, your thoughts on perry. he marched out here. he has his cowboy boots on.s hair. he looks to be in pretty good shape. he is the right age to run for president. he has that sort of texas swagger, that's not a negative. what does he need to do tonight besides look good? >> he has it put some of the swagger away. he can't hear the violence against ben bernanke and those types of things on the trail. he needs to look presidential. he needs to deliver a message, stick to that message. he needs to talk about the attacks. >> so dignity. >> dignity would be a high point. >> let's move it around fast. romney, doesn't he stand in danger, if he continues to last couple days of saying, i don't even notice that this guy is killing me. acting this debener manner of saying, yeah, fine. . does he run the danger of being pawlenty here, the guy who got knocked out a couple weeks ago by not fighting? >> i think you will see subtle lines of contrast with perry. he won't mention perry's name out of the gate but i think you will hear career politician from romney. >> wait, okay.

maggie, let me start with you. what is this?ing donald trump is watching the show tonight saying, wait a minute, this scallawag. comes in and wastes my time. my time it very valuable. hangs out with me, skips to my lou. no evidence he ever met with me. is he two-faced or what? >> not a banner day for mitt romney. he gets nothing out of this, except for mitt romney sneaking out of a side door and the press being angry. it does not exactly scream wanting to be around donald trump. i think the main reason that romney did this was so that donald trump didn't go on tv and essentially say negative things about him, but the best ringing endorsement he got was we got along better than i thought we would. >> he treats him like typhoid perry out in the streets. here's trump getting his assessment about the motoring with romney in an interview last night with greta van sustern. not exactly a ringing endorsement, by the way. let's listen. >> i'll tell you, i'm with rick perry. i really like him a lot. thought he was a terrific guy. today i

my wife, maggie, and i stayed in providencetown waiting for the time to return. and that time was probably similar to what all of you were feeling. we experienced a kind of helplessness. there was little that we could do. making out a check, it didn't seem like enough. i felt the frustration. when we come back to new york, five days later, i went down to ground zero. i wanted to see for myself, what was it like? and that small act of curiosity changed my life. i stood in a crowd of people on the corner of chambers and greenwich street. nothing to see. there was a cyclone fence covered with a scrim of canvas, smoke rising in the distance. i took my lycra and put it to my eye and a woman police officer said no photographs, buddy. this is a crime scene. one never knows when the road of your life will divide. when she said that to me, i had a sudden current of energy come up thinking this is impossible. the crime scene was in there and i was on the public thoroughly -- thoroughfare and i thought why can do it. if you don't do that, i'm going to take that camera away.

maggie is politico's senior political writer. all of that.at else has he done to the middle east lately. it's an interesting ploy. does it work for him, though? >> i think it does work for him, actually. it lets him get ahead in the field right now. he's diving in on the issue of the day, essentially number one. number two it helps him with conservative jews who might be eyeing him wearily given he's a christian evangelical. he looked like he knew actually. he didn't say that much policy wise. he didn't mess it up, no bad moments in the press conference. >> here's a little bit of what he had to say today. >> it's pretty easy. both as an american and as a christian, i am going to stand with israel. you will find me not only welcoming the prime minister of israel who ever that individual may be in the appropriate matter to the white house. as the president of the united states, as the president of the united states, if you want to work for the state department, you will be working in jerusalem. >> which is also another big issue. >> what everyo

maggie, let me start with you.is -- i'm thinking donald trump's watching this show tonight saying, wait a minute, this scalawag, he comes in with me, wastes my time, my time is very valuable, skips to my lou. is he two faced? >> he got a pizza date out of palin and this with romney. the press being angry. it does not scream wanting to be around donald trump. the main reason mitt romney did this is so donald trump didn't go on tv and say negative things about him. the best ringing endorsement, he said we got along better than i thought we would. >> here is trump giving his assessment of that meeting. we'll get to you with romney in an interview last night with greta van susteren. it wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement, by the way. let's listen. >> i will tell you i met with rick perry. i really liked him a lot. i thought he was a terrific guy. today i met with mitt romney. absolutely very impressive. we had some good -- very different people. it's very interesting. i don't want to get into it, but they are very, ve

maggie thatcher was ray. this was a nation formed an idea that all people are created equal in the eyes of each other. how dare he accept the notion that everyone was a speech. no one ever said that before. now, it doesn't mean you do it with a tank. it doesn't mean, you know, will give them freedom whether they wanted or not. you can argue that. but this american dream on this american world does that mean white people, anglo-saxon people, christians, jewish or given credit. and the character question, i didn't find. i didn't get a sense of great intellectual curiosity, which i got when i look at kennedy, when you look at rick and. i'm sure he reads its closest literacy. i don't get a sense that this president would get up in the middle of the night and start asking questions and reading the telegrams themselves. and must be something we can do to go out. or he has his own spice to see mcclellan, like why isn't this army moving? i think bush -- i inclined to say he had this all suppression of reagan because

our very own maggie lake sat down with the french finance minister and asked him about his government's plans to ensure stability in france's banking sector without plans to intervene. >> translator: restructuring would be plan b, but we need to implement plan bbefore we get to that. plan a is the agreement of july 21st. it has not yet been implemented. parliaments need to vote on that. greece has a lot to do, especially on the administration side. we are staying true to july 21st. we keep repeating it because repetition is the best teaching tool and that's the message we're trying to convey. >> there is a very well-known u.s. manager from pimco, the world's largest bond fund. quoting him, there are all signs of an insz tushl run on french banks. europe is on the verge of losing control of orderly solutions to this debt crisis. investors understand there is a political calendar, but we know from 2008 that markets can move ahead of that. and there is fear that that's what's happening. what do you see that makes you confident that we are not on the verge of a crisis that investors in the

cnn's maggie lake spoke to michael guytonburg, about how the kindle might shake up the tablet market. >> i don't think this is going to affect the ipad. it's a $499 device. it's designed for constant creation, constant consumption, a 10 inch screen, more memory, bluetooth, designed for communication. this will appeal to a different audience. someone who said i don't need all the features of the ipad, it's attractive but i don't need everything, maybe i can't afford it. it's $499. this is $199. the key is amazon's built out all of the services required to make this device successful before launching the device. >> amazon is taking orders for the kindle fire. the tablet won't be in stores until november 15th. >> the interesting thing is, they're also cutting the prices already on a whole bunch of the existing models and making them much cheaper, particularly at the bottom end. in the meantime, samsung has been forced to further delay of the release of galaxy 10.1 tablet in australia because apple is seeking to block the sale of the device. two companies are fighting a global pattern bat
