"vanity fair" reported around the time perry got out of the race that not only had rick perry had back surgery, he made this terrible and tragic decision to basically let a friend of his practice amateur back surgery on him. here's "vanity fair" from january 2012. the most intriguing explanation for perry's collapse has been circulating in austin for weeks. this suggests that the governor suffering from the after effects of low back surgery in july. six weeks before he announced his candidacy. his surgeon a friend fused two of perry's vertebrae together and injected the governor for the the first time in the surgeon's career with two teaspoon fulls of stem cells cultured from fatty tissue taken from perry's hip. if the you have to explain why you can't tell iran from iraq, and why you think the name sotomayor sorts with an m and why you don't remember the date of the election and who is allowed to vote and you can't remember your own campaign platform when others are trying to help you and you give speeches you look like this, if you need a tough guy explanation for what happened back

well, now, having seen rick perry campaign four years later, having seen rick perry campaign in 2015, i think we can say the amateur back surgery in 2011 wasn't the problem. >> joining me now former texas governor rick perry. do you want to make news on the stoirks is donald trump right. are you getting out of the race? >> a broken clock is right once a day. >> twice -- broken -- twice. donald trump was premature in declaring that rick perry was dropping out of the presidential race. he went on fox news that day to say he is still there, still working and he made a good effort in the interview to get back to his campaign talking points but donald trump ended up right in substance if not on timing and tonight, after losing his first iowa campaign cochair to the donald trump campaign and losing his second iowa cochair to the rick santorum campaign and shutting down his new hampshire campaign all together and shutting down his south carolina headquarters earlier this week, tonight after not paying his staff for weeks, rick perry made it official and became the first major party candidate

anita perry. we have a house in the country.ve two beautiful children -- >> let's bring back harold cook, democratic political analyst, ruth, editor and chief of progressive magazine. and jonathan alter. harold, what struck me here is a couple of things. first had he campaigned the way he's now leaving he might have stayed longer. but two, was there enough oxygen in the room with donald trump sucking it all up? but he hit the themes of the martin luther king, jr. with the content of your character and not the color of your skin. and talked about the relationship to christ in a explicit and straightforward fashion. what do you make of the themes he strikes on the way out the door. the typical conservative ones. but those two themes at the center of his extended story of the plight of minority peoples. >> look there is a supreme irony of this political chapter that rick perry may have given one of the best stump speeches in recent times on his way out the door. i think -- i think that was great red meat for several swaths of repub

not only about perry's endorsement but the financier of perry. all those guys are going to want his backing. >> just to go back to perry and insults coming from donald trump. i just don't think that ran him out of the campaign. it was money. totally money. >> it's always money. >> the best quote of the election cycle thus far is caitlin dawson south carolina chair for governor perry, cbs asked him when the campaign staff salary started getting cut dawson said it's okay we can lift off the land for a while great way of incapsule late this situation. one imagines perry's staffers forging for nuts and berries. >> panel, if you will stick around, please. vice president biden, is he about to take the big leap? some clues that's next. some clues that's next. major break in the string my name is peter tran. some clues that's next. major break in the string i'm a gas service representative. i've been with pg&e nine years. as an employee of pg&e you always put your best foot forward to provide reliable and safe service and be able to help the community. w

rick perry is the lone star state's 47th governor. he is defending texas conservative values principle solutions to tough challenges and work to implement a clear vision for better schools, more jobs safer communities and a brighter future. it sounds like our kind of governor, doesn't it? as a result texas is consistently ranked as the nation's best place to do business and create jobs. i'm sure some of you here know that texas has led the nation in job creation with more jobs gained in any other state in 2010 over the past 10 years. texans are safer because governor perry has pursued an aggressive border security strategy that is putting more boots on the ground, more helicopters in the sky had more resources into the hands of texas peace officers standing between texans and exploding drug-related violence across the border. he has refused to raise taxes in texas based a record 10 billion-dollar budget shortfall in 2003. instead he was the first texas governor since world war ii to sign a budget that lowers state spending and is now

perry out.nds his presidential campaign and takes some serious swipes at donald trump who had been targeting perry with sharp attacks. is perry the campaign's first trump casualty? trump versus fiorina. donald trump offers a new explanation for his controversial slam against carly fiorina. she's now been tapped to join him on the main stage at the upcoming cnn republican presidential debate. will trump launch new attacks when they go face-to-face? >>> biden torn. the vice president joe biden displaying raw emotion on late-night tv whether to gin the race for the white house. with growing pressure from supporters and hillary clinton slipping in the polls will biden upend the democratic campaign? >>> caught on camera. new york police release surveillance video of an undercover police officer tackling and handcuffing the former tennis pro james blake in a botched sting operation. blake has just released a statement. is he accepting an apology from the nypd? >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the

but rick perry? it's hard to imagine a reason to spend time singling out rick perry as his campaign keeps circling the drain. he poses no threat to anyone. but donald trump went after him today. that gave rick perry a reason to go on television which he did just after donald trump's remarks to answer donald trump's contention that he, governor rick perry is about to jump out of the presidential race. it didn't go well. >> joining me now former texas governor rick perry. do you want to make news today on the real story? is donald trump right? are you getting out of the race? >> you know, a broken clock is right once a day. >> how many times a day? come on, governor. come on. >> are you getting out of the race? >> you know, a broken clock is right once a day. so the bottom line is i'm still here, still working. >> god bless him. governor rick perry had to let go of the staff member whose job it was to remind him about the numerical ending of common american idioms. wait until the bird in hand versus bi

rick perry's name will be long forgotten by monday. think we can agree at the table that he does get the award for most improved candidate over his -- >> better glasses is that what you mean to say? >> over 2012 he was offering a much beefier, beefed-up foreign policy vision, domestic policy vision, and i think that his speech today was really classy. >> he did get to the meat faster this cycle around. but he had that benefit of previous experience, shall we say. >> and he had nowhere to go but up. >> let's do talk about that. because there was an opportunity here. it did not work out. he was one of the first to come after donald trump. did that not work to his benefit? >> well, i think several things clearly didn't work to his benefit. i think even though this has been said many times, i think it has to be reinforced. he never recovered from that oops moment. you still have late-night comedians that use that for fodder to this day, even though that was that long ago, it is still a punchline and he never recovered. the other thing is w

poor rick perry. rick perry is down and out in american politics right now. some reason even though he

former texas governor rick perry is dropping out of the presidential race.e made the announcement at any event earlier today in st. louis, missouri. john, not a shock. a lot of financial problems. why do think he decided to get out of before iowa? john: then, there were 16. look, there was no path for him. he came to that conclusion he tried his best to reinvent himself and overcome the legacy of his oops moment and bad debates. he did not do that. polls showing movement, financial resources join up. and it was becoming increasingly to imagine a scenario that would get him back in this race in a meaningful way. mark: a story about rick perry when he entered as a stronger candidate last time. his donors are up for grabs. people like ted cruz, maybe others can get that. not much of an impact on the race. john: i do not think it will change for anybody. mark: we wish him and his family the best. we'll talk more about the big news of rick perry out of the race. we'll move to the other big story. first of all remembering the , anniversary of september 11. highlig

out more people than rick perry.ot of legitimate candidate s will never get to the starting line. i will bet you that about seven or eight of these candidates won't get to the starting line which is iowa. christie's probably one of them. the two we already mentioned. you know, they are going to be -- more. we don't know which ones. someone today, who is pretty smart, said he thought scott walker wasn't going to get to the starting line. that would be shocking given where he started but when you have 17 candidates and a guy like donald trump and ben carson leading the pact it is not a lot of room for conventional politicians. >> so you are saying seven or eight. that's fascinating. there's a key line about markets where he says markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain insolvent. which is a great line. which you knew firsthand. he was adept. it strikes me we are seeing a similar thing in the republican primary. the primary market can remain irrational longer or voters cannot come -- right. >> right. >>

also on the other end of the spectrum, rick perry, god bless him, yesterday on fox news rick perry also stepped up and said that debate plan needs to be changed if only so carly fiorina can be on that debate stage. >> carly fiorina, i negotiated with carly before bringing hewlett-packard to houston, i think carly needs to be on that debate stage. this is a class act, an extraordinary individual. >> that's nice of rick perry, right, to say about one of his competitor particularly when there's absolutely no chance that he himself will be allowed on the debate stage as long as this kids table idea is still the plan. so good for the ben carson campaign for their generous statement. good for rick perry for that selfless statement there. and of course the whole idea of rick perry brings us to the republican field for whom this new national poll out tonight from ppp is absolutely terrible and may be even devastating news. let's look at the bottom tier of this poll. look at the people who are getting 2% or less. tied for tenth place at 2% of the vote right now are rick santorum, which is where

poor rick perry. rick perry is down and out in american politics right now.reason even though he poses no threat to anyone. i mean anybody else in the presidential race punching at rick perry by testify in addition is punching down. he's the basement. rick perry should be immune from criticism now because of his own irrelevance in the race. he's that far down and out but for some reason rick perry is still in a position where he finds himself still getting kicked. the other candidatesd

perry, governor perry, he's gone. good luck. >> axelrod: donald trump answers rick perry's parting shot as the field of republican candidates narrows. >> good! glaim all aboard the papal express. the have the launches a train service taking tourists to the pope's private retreat for the public's first looked in. >> she's done it! >> axelrod: and roberta vinci pulled off one of the biggest upset ever at the u.s. open, but is she inurks-vince-iable. captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news." >> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod. wildfires have been scholarshipping land at a record rate this summer in the drought-stricken western united states, and tonight, it is only getting worse. at least 33 large wildfires are now burning in a half a dozen states across the west. in northern california, the fast-moving butte fire has now grown to more than 100 square miles in two days, threatening thousands of homes. carter evans has the latest. >> reporter: record heat and strong winds have made what was a smal

rick perry, chris christie, bobby jindal.not sure anyone knows what his game is to get out of the cellar. the new gambit is he tried to make fun of donald trump. he released this video. >> we're leading in every single poll. >> i'm sorry, winning. >> but the polls have been through the roof, every one of them. >> like winning. >> and kanye west has been so great. i'd never say bad about him because he says such nice things about me. >> giant caller i.d. comes through and winning. >> i'm winning in all the polls. >> win, make a choice to win and you win. >> i'm winning everywhere. >> winning, i win here and there, now what? >> it's funny to see donald trump compared to charlie sheen like that. unfortunately for bobby jindal it is funny when they proposed the way to get serious for running for president is bobby jindal. both sides of that ad seem funny. one you are laughing with him, but bobby jindal is trying new campaign tactics making fun of donald trump. maybe it will work. the other person they are tied with is poor beleag

at this point, four years ago perry was the gop frontrunner. in fact, 41% of republicans at the time thought he would be the gop nominee. the exact same number who today believe that donald trump will be their party's choice. today, donald trump's numbers are reaching a new high. trump nearly tripling his support in the key state of iowa just since july. trump's lead showing that his blistering personal attacks are not turning off voters. trump launching a new defense for his jabs at carly fiorina and saying he made them as an entertainer. >> many of those comments are made as an entertainer. as everybody said, it's a much different ball game. >> joe johns is "outfront" tonight. why is rick perry leaving the race? >> reporter: it comes down to money and momentum. the perry campaign was struggling for cash and buzz in the early voting states. part of the dynamic here is about donald trump and how he is has been dominating the republican field. and the headlines since he got into the race. latest candidate to take a big swipe at trump was carly f

that would be texas governor rick perry. know whether it's because of the indictment or not. rick perry has been having a hard time of it this year. today, might have been the final nail in the coffin of this presidential campaign for him. the first really bad sign something was wrong with rick perry's campaign was the news out of iowa that he was down to one last single solitary staffer. his campaign co-chair in iowa went to go work for donald trump and his other co-chair went to work for rick santorum. he was down to one staffer left in iowa. so you think, okay, he's not really competing in iowa. one staffer for a presidential campaign? he's not really competing in iowa. maybe he's focusing on new hampshire then. no. next came news rick perry gone down to zero staffers in new hampshire. so one person does not, an iowa campaign make. no new hampshire campaign whatsoever. did that news last week mean that rick perry was getting out of the race altogether? no, team perry took pains to say, even as they shut down their new ham

gwen: perry's point played out in a week of insult trading. and this rolling stone interview trump was asked about carly fiorina and he said look at that face. would anyone vote for that? can you imagine that, the face of our next president? i mean, she's a woman. and i'm not supposed to say bad things. but really, folks, come on. are we serious? this was carly fiorina's response. >> i think those comments speak for themselves and all the many, many, many thousands of voters out there that are helping me climb in the polls. yes. they're very serious. gwen: and perhaps the sharpest blow was landed by the candidate who is now number two in iowa and new hampshire. ben carson. who really took -- he didn't actually go after donald trump because he doesn't have that kind of persona. but he did take a shot. >> he raised the question. he raised the thing that that's not been spoken very much. what is donald trump's moral center? his character? his faith? the iowa caucuses are dominated by social conservatives on the republican side. donald trump has b

if you ask the same question, what could make rick perry the nominee?circumstances could have occurred given where he is now? i find it hard to imagine even if i were being the most pro-rick perry person that would elevate him to the top of this large field. mark: he loves his grandkids and i am sure he will spend time with his family. i will be curious to see if he endorses anyone. he has been pretty tough on donald trump. it'll be interesting to see if he becomes a group trying to figure out -- i would maybe be surprised if the super pac maybe turns its attention to donald trump. john: it is always, you know, he reads the statement here. he cites the will of christ. part of the reason why he dropped off. a lot of politicians over the years, sometimes it is best to drop out. this is one of the maxims of presidential politics. it is hard to get your time back. the time for him probably was 2012 and he did not get it done. mark: it ends a long career in who fourfice and a guy years ago was in a much better position. four he was in september years ago, he

rick perry meets his alamo in his bid for the white house. >> we have a yellow weather alert in effect for today. showersand thunderstorms are on the approach. we'll time them out for you in the first alert 7 day. >>> thank you so much for waking up with us this morning. it will be a little sprinkley this morning. and we have surae chin in alexandria for the 9/11 ceremonies. but first, we have a yellow alert? >> that's right. >> yellow alert, that's for the rain? >> absolutely, and we'll see thunderstorms as we head later into the day. you can see plenty of clouds in place right now but no rain in the immediate metro area just yet. 74 at 10:00 a.m. and it will be in the mid-70s by noon. high temperatures around 80 degrees in between these hours. we will see a chance for thunderstorms arriving around noon and extending through the evening hours and even at 10:00 at night, the potential for a shower or thunderstorm. encourage, 61 in winchester where it already has started raining, and 61 in culpepper. 70 in downtown washington and 63 in gaithersburg. here on satellite and radar, you can

perry is a gift the politician is lots of experience.is the longest serving governor ever in texas. this is the second time for returning for president. a lot of the republicans rivals were taken aback when he made this announcement last night. >> i was very surprised. i didn't see it coming. i had no inkling it was happening. we had all heard the stories that he had been shutting down offices and cutting back staff. but it's a long way out. >> rick perry becoming the first major g.o.p. candidate to drop out of this race and then there were 16. he did it right before, just days before the second g.o.p. debated. so, we have 16 candidates debating it out on cnn next week. >> kristen fisher live in washington, d.c. thank you so much. >> thanks, kristen. >> at the top of the report she said it all came down to money. that's right. folks were having to volunteer in his offices to stay afloat. >> >> not paying staff. >> super pacs raised 12 millions. they have 12 to $13 million back reportedly. will it go to another candidate or different caus

will rick perry still be in this race when the votes are cast and iowa?> the surprising thing to me about rick perry, having interviewed him several times, he is charismatic, but his campaign is over. he has not been able to move the needle at all. john: he is a classic example of someone who had his time and missed his moment. he was the longest-serving governor in the history of texas, in the united states, a great job story in 2012, but his campaign was a fiasco. you can run a sensible campaign, but people still remember that moment. it haunts you forever. if you miss, you never get that moment back. that is one of the lessons here. >> cnn changed the criteria for candidates to get on the main debate stage. before, any candidate in the top 10 average made it in. now they are adding another way, breaking into that top 10 in the final month earns you a ticket as well. that's good news for carly fiorina. what did she have to do on this stage to stay in the thick of things? mark: she will have a bigger challenge than before. she will be one of 11. that is

perry had a combination of two things. if irs, that he actually declined in the polls substantially and he was running spending money. there are people like jim gilmore who is not really running so no reason to drop out. it's going to be hard to say. maybe a lindsey graham who is spending and isn't getting traction who makes that decision next. >> when these fringe candidates start dropping out, who is likely to benefit the most? is there a clear answer to that? >> not really. i think it depends on the candidate. like rick perry all of his supporters went somewhere else. they went to donald trump or wherever they went to. so i think it depends on who. i think when you get to a rand paul, if rand paul who has his own base of support were to drop out of the race, it would be interesting to see. but i think it's hard to predict. >> let's take a listen to a bit more from donald trump with jimmy fallon last night. >> going to create jobs in this country. >> i'm just going to do it. >> right. right. but how? >> by doing it. it j

so you see rick perry there in st.is, missouri saying that he has suspended his campaign in this presidential race. he is the first republican to do so. sources say that he stopped paying his staff. it may be a question of finances. i'm going to bring in for their take their comments, christie, she is new heighths president national review reporter. christie, what is your take? one less gop candidate. he seems to be talking about a brand of conservatism and if i heard correctly, taking a few shots at donald trump >> yeah. well, he decided to go out on a high note. and i actually mean that sin sincerely, i think also to be conservative and a message that didn't get across in his campaign but about he wanted to with about his record in texas, about drawing a sharp contrast with donald trump on immigration reform and other issues without being as he said nativist about it >> uh-huh. >> and, look, i think ultimately this wasn't a surprise as you said a month ago he stopped paying his staff. incas of last week he left-hand

tough business particularly for perry today. >> do you think perry endorses quickly. >> probably take some time to figure over and figure how best to use the influence. he still has supporters still in iowa just not enough to make them float. >> thank you. now to 9/11. most people can tell you exactly where they were 14 years ago today. a day when america in shock over a brutal and deadly series of attacks that killed 3,000 innocent people and changed the world forever. since then, billions of dollars and countless lives have been devoted to the struggle against the kind of people who perpetrated those crimes. we have fox team coverage of white house how the obama. senior correspondent rick leventhal at ground zero tonight. >> hi, rick. >> good evening, bret. the crowd gross a bit smaller each year and the wounds may heal a bit more. this remains the most difficult day of the year relatives of the 9/11 attacks who come here to remember and pay respects and also give thanks for the support of the city and the nation. >> ♪. >> richard dennis allen. >> richard l. allen. >> christopher e.

perry is pulling out. i think there is a lesson. >> we saw one of perry's temperature advisers join trump's campaign. struggling to pay staff. in the smaller debates on wednesday. are you surprised by this? >> i am surprised because the super pac still has cash in the bank. i was certain that the hipster glasses were going to bea game changer for him. that didn't really work out. >> your glasses are kind of hipster, too t. as are mine. >> that's why i'm betting on it. i'm betting on it. >> i'll get some. >> the volatility in this race is sort of representative of the new politics. last cycle rick perry top of his game where donald trump is now. i would expect to see lots of ups and downs and rick perry the first to go. but some of these other candidates are going to have a second life as, someone like ben carson. either he goes up or down. see what happens. >> it is incredible, jeff, when you think about it to matt's point. last time around he was so far, out in front. everybody was kind of looking at him

tough business today particularly for perry. lou? lou: indeed, carl, thank you very much. carl cameron. >>> turning to the democratic race for the white house and what has been months of bad news for hillary clinton's campaign, a new poll is out that may be the most brutal yet for her. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry with that report. >> reporter: as hillary clinton took another hit in the polls this was not the image her campaign needed. a collapse of the stage at the university of wisconsin-milwaukee. particularly rough coming hours after fox news reported clinton's earlier event in ohio was only about half full. clinton and aides raced to tout the larger size of the wisconsin event. tweeting to fox, quote, this is just the overflow as clinton greeted supporters in the overflow room. >> sorry there wasn't enough room in the venue before i raced to see all of you. thank you! >> reporter: clinton surround intense pressure from campaign donors to show she can halt the crash from the e-mail controversy, with a new cnn-orc poll showing nationally clinton has

people will then ask: is rick perry disappearing out of this race significant in any way?est answer is probably not. he takes a lot of support from across the party. there are many people who like him for differently things, for his record in tensionas, the fact he is an evangelical christian, for other things but the fact he served in the military, but the simple fact is, there is no one block of vote that will go from rick perry to someone else. so, it's not that significant a departure. it takes us from 17 to 16. as i say, donald trump, ben carson remain in the front. it's a long way to go before we get to iowa. those first caucuses are in february. so we've still got the end part of the summer, the autumn and the winter to get through. there are going to be a lot of changes in that race between now and then. >> the presidential race starts in earnest. alan fisher live for us in washington, d.c. alan, thank you. >>> lots more to come on al jazeera. including we are going to report from the japanese city of joso where torrential rain has flooded thousands of homes and fi

you saw, donald trump beating up on rick perry. rick perry steps out. and send the nice tweet. rick perry you are a good guy. for trump entertainment and staying on top of the polls. i think the public is maybe more in on the game. they're not interested in the policy aspects of trump. they're enjoying the, sucker punching. >> i need to move on. i want to talk about some one who, you know, people say is authentic and maybe is animated as donald trump. that is vice president joe biden. his emotional interview. here is part of it on stephen colbert where he talks about the moment, what it takes to run for president. >> i don't think any man or woman should run for president, unless, number one, they know exactly why they would want to be president. and two, they can look at folks out there and say "i promise you, you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy, and my passion to do this." and i would be lying if i said that i knew i was there. it's a -- i'm being completely honest. but nobody has a right in my view, to seek that office unless they're willing to -- to give it 11

perry, isn't he a nice man? mr. perry, governor perry, he's gone. good luck. he was very nasty to me, but you know yesterday i put out a tweet. i said he's a wonderful man and i wish him well. people couldn't believe. but you know, when you win, everybody's wonderful. and i think he's actually a nice guy. but he dropped out. so we have a total of 16 people. so when i'm getting nationwide one poll came out 40, but when i'm getting 32 -- and it's sort of funny. i have a poll at 40, i have a poll at 32. and then i have these other polls and they're all like that. winning in iowa, winning in new hampshire, winning every place, by a lot. and then i hear here's the headline. carly is surging. she's got 3%. i hear ben who's a nice guy, ben carson, very nice man, a surgeon, but he's way behind me. i'm saying well what about me, i'm leading? they don't mention that. the headliners carson surging. i keep saying what about trump? oh, well, you're leading, but you know. by the way i'm surging much more than him. i'm surging more than anybody. because look, i mean, in all

in the case of perry, he ran out of gas. stay on, but it's hard to see a jim gilmore, bobby jindal stay for too much longer. their donors are going to be saying what am i getting from my money? >> wayne slater, always a pleasure to have you on, thank you so much. >> sure. >>> coming up next, it could be the next big faceoff at this debate. trump versus carly fiorina. carly fiorina supporters now firing back against trump's look at her face comment from last week. also we're waiting for the moments during the debate wednesday night. we'll take u a look back at some of the best debates over the years and those moments. >> i am paying for this microphone. the human foot has always been good at... it's unleashing great power. the is performance line just got a power boost. introducing the lexus is 200 turbo and is 300 awd v6. the is line has never been... more powerful. once driven, there's no going back. ♪ 800,000 hours of supercomputing time, 3 million lines of code, 40,000 sets of eyes, or a million sleepless nights. whether

we just saw governor rick perry drop out. you have spent a lifetime working in politics and government. why should voters -- and how are you going to convince them that you're the right choice when they're desperate for somebody who is not part of politics in government? >> they actually want someone who can get the job done. all these other folks can talk all they want. remember, barack obama had never run anything in government before. i've run things. i've actually got things done. if you want someone who will fight and win, not just win three elections in four years, but win and get results without compromising, common sense conservative principles, then i'm the candidate. i've shown i can take on those same powerful special interests. they spent almost $100 million trying to take me out. >> i respect that you've taken on democratic special interests in wisconsin, but you've been backed by republican special interests like the koch brothers. how does that square with what you're taking about taking on special interests? >
