rick perry was the perfect candidate on paper. if real life, rick perry was a disaster. what has been fascinating to watch since then is that governor rick perry has taken one campaign for president in 2012. he clearly wants to run again if 2016. he looks back and surveys that landscape with the oops and making out with the syrup and monto mayored on the revolution was not in the 1500s and you have to be 21 to vote after the election is and not rnling where the other war is and woodrow wilson was a president a decade ago, he looks back as his live performance and has apparently decided none of that was the problem. he apparently decided this was the one thing for him that actually was a problem. >> how do you feel being criticized by a number of these other candidates on the stage for being too soft on immigration, sir? >> i fell pretty normal getting criticized by these folks, but the fact of the matter is this, there is nobody on the stage who has spent more time working on border security than i have, but if you say that we should not educate children that have come i

rick perry on paper was perfect. he was tdefinitely going to be president of the republican nominee for president. the week he announced gallup did a nationwide poll of republican voters and republican-leaning voters and picked rick perry as their nominee by a mile. the number of republican and republican-leading voters who picked rick perry as their preferred nominee for president was 29%. and that may not sound like much, 29%, but there were a million people in the republican field at that point, and with that 29%, governor perry was first by a mile. the next closest contender was mitt romney who was 12 points behind rick perry. the week that rick perry announced. rick perry was going to be the nominee, and he was probably going to get elected president. on paper, he was perfect. and then the campaign started. the first rumblings that something might be wrong were sort of subtle, frankly. it was the first few major debates. nothing went terribly wrong for rick perry at his first four presidential debates, but it wa

, rick. that is what the fed, under bernanke and almost under every fed chair. what should it do, rick? >> reporter: created to be a feel-good institution. >> what's the policy for you and the traders down there in chicago, is that the correct policy? >> reporter: the traders never contributed one penny to the credit crisis! not one penny! not one penny! >> i'm not sure how that has anything to do with what i just said, and every applauded you. >> i would say from an investing point of view, just to bring it back to what we actually do, i think it's interesting that the late cycle sectors are doing well. and i think that's because people do expect inflation to come from all of this easy policy that we have seen over the last several years, that it's going to eventually work and that i think we are seeing some interesting signs now that we're getting better in jobs certainly. but if we look at manufacturing, if we look at auto sales, there are pockets of the economy that are getting better. an

but rick perry blew it. first when it was revealed that his family's hunting camp had a name which my career will not allow me to say on tv. so hermann cain. >> -- hater. >> stephen: and that damning revelation led his opponents to say -- >> ah, schuk a ducky. classic. of course, folks, what really sank rick perry was a debate gaffe that no one can forget except him. >> it's three agencies of government when i get there that are gone. commerce, education and the-- the was's the third one there -- >> you can't name the third

so hopefully rick perry has learned his lessons on immigration. we know he has his own presidential aspirations again. >> richard, i thought it was a defendant move by the president to say to rick perry, get the texas legislation to vote on this. virtually all of the spending we're talking about that the president wants would be in texas. that was the kind of thing that congressional delegationed used to get behind. >> they don't buy the argument that the president is not going to enforce any of the border patrols that they all want so much. so from a political point of view, whether it's green dollars to your state or making your own base happy, it would be much more sensible for rick perry to get behind this and for the texas republican delegation to get behind this. you have a very peculiar political dynamic about this president and immigration, which means all common sense is thrown out of the window, including humanitarian feelings as well. that's not healthy for anyone, especially for the people who put their kids at risk. >> to stick with t

it's interesting if you look at the way the sort of texas republican party moved away from rick perryck perry when he entered the 2012 race remembered the rap on him he was a crazy anti-washington tea party right winger but yet a moderate position on immigration, the texas republican party had a moderate position on immigration but this year we have seen the new lieutenant governor nominee in texas and all the way down the slate of the republicans who are now in power in texas are much more hard line. the party moved way to the right and that's going back to the convention part of the reason that the national republican party does not now want to be associated with the brand of the texas gop is because they have now taken this very hard stand on immigration. i think rick perry has made a smart political tunistic move on this particular issue because there's such a vacuum. nobody wants to stand next to the pictures coming out of the border, not president obama and really not any republicans and so this is an issue that rick perry can own and try to get himself taken seriously >> a lot

with the not so subtle title "rick perry is dead wrong."roved that rick perry is dead wrong. rick perry wrote that rand paul says, "our nation should ignore what's happening in iraq." rand paul correctly pointed out that there's really no difference between rick perry and rand paul and president obama on iraq. perry said there are no good options. i've said the same thing. president obama has said the same thing. so what are perry's solutions and why does he think they are so bold and different from anyone else's? he writes in "the washington post," the president can and must do more with our military and intelligence communities to help cripple the islamist state. meaningful assistance can include intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance-sharing, and air strikes. the united states is actually doing all of this now. president obama has said he might use air tribes in the future. i have also been open to the same option if it makes sense. i support continuing our assistance to the government of iraq which include armaments and intellig

>> rick scott has limitless money.e has 72 million -- you know, this is a guy $72 million is what he put into the last campaign. almost as many times as he had to plea the fifth, not to tell the truth in a deposition about fraud. 72 times had to do that and $78 million in his own campaign. money is coming in from businesses everywhere to support rick scott and it's all dark money. we don't even know -- we don't even know the origination of most of this money but it's big money coming behind rick scott right now. >> let's pick up on that. what is the influx of big money done to politics. you call it dark money and we can't trace it. what's the impact? what's the net effect of that? >> they wrote great articles about dark money in politics, it was before citizens united statesed and before mckochen. if you want to colonize this country and allow multinational corporations to colonize this country, give them limitless access to spending their money. what he meant by that, if a corporation wanted to come into this country

why did rick white target churches?nvestigators believe white was angry at the first assembly of god church for turning down his membership application, but he couldn't bomb that church, at least not right away. it would have been too obvious. so, he chose the oakwood united methodist church as his first target, possibly because his ex-wife was a member. >> he was experimenting. he was trying to get different things to work, different initiators for the device, different triggering systems. >> the forensic evidence shows that white placed the pipe bomb in a green cooler, not caring who would pick it up. church member brian plawer was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. in the first assembly of god church bombing, white used a stronger bomb, since this was his primary target. he placed the bomb on top of an outdoor air conditioner. this one had a timer designed to explode during the sunday service. 33 people were injured. in october of 1998, a grand jury concluded richard white built both bombs and murdered bria

that rick perry that high, out of touch rick perry is gone. after two years of agonizing reappraisal the governor has completely reinvented himself with a pair of glasses. he can't lose now i mean those make him look smarter, more serious, and-- (cheers and applause) -- but perry, oops-- but perry, perry has also made a more troubling change, to cure his aching back so he can dial back the painkillers, perry recently announced he had given up on cowboy boots. >> yeah, oh yeah, yeah. yes, you were mildly shocked. i could tell. you heard right, the governor of texas swearing off cowboy boots. that's like the governor of colorado turning his bong back into an apple. even worse, even worse, perry spurned his spurs for plain black loafers, nice shoes, dad. even worse, he's pairing those loafers with 2014's least appealing fashion accessory, barack obama. and i'm not the only one who is enraged, folks, so is texas land commissioner jerry paterson who complained i lament the fact that our governor can now pass for a west coast metrosexual. oh, oh, oh

. >> you know, rick, here's the issue. the rate of growth is what we're talking about, growing faster than gdp, we have been through economic down turns, but it is a real explosion in food stamps. should we bring back work requirements? >> look at what's different. everybody wants to blast by the real reason for the extraordinary growth. people that work at walmart, ladies and gentlemen, don't make enough money, and therefore under up getting food stamps. coincidentally, whose the biggest beneficiary of food stamps in the country? walmart in the grocery division. so yes, it is a great idea for people to work. here is a better idea. pay people enough when they work that they don't need food stamps. meantime, i continue to support programs, community service programs if people are getting benefits, they can go to work in the community. >> also to michael's point, you need better paying jobs. rich, here's the thing. both president bush and president obama weakened job requirements, they left it to the states to decide. in the

but rick scott doesn't believe in that.because he doesn't like the president and doesn't want him getting credit for doing anything right. sew is blocking anything he is trying to do to help florida. that's nonsense. it is time for common sense. >> i see that republican governor's association contributed more than $2.5 million to scott. more than any other candidate for governor. quickly, why is that? >> because he needs it. he is going to attempt to try to make lemon i'd out of lemons. his four years have been a disaster. he cut education. hurt the environment. not fighting for the middle class. tax breaks to the rich. a nightmare tea party administration. and florida deserves better. that's not what floridians want. that's why i'm running. to give them a brighter future and better way. >> charlie crist, spending time in florida. great to have us with us, thanks so much. >>> that's "the ed show." i'm ed schultz.

>> well, i think the interesting thing here is rick perry. i hate to say it, but i think if the isolationism were real rick perry would be peddling it. >> if the real sentiment of the american people were isolationists, he would be playing to it? >> yeah. rick per i have a politician. i think if he thought it was real he would be doing it. and as far as rand paul goes. this is a guy who is basically a rookie running for the presidency of the united states. he has to differentiate himself. if you look at his campaign, he's been putting together his own coalition. it's techies it's urban sophisticates, it's isolation t isolationists. he's running his own campaign. and the isolationist strain is a part that have. i don't think it reflects sentiment inside the republican party. >> who do you think has the better pulse on the mood within the republican party? >> i agree with dan that rick perry reflects more the main stream view in the republican party and probably in the country as well. rand paul is like his dad is an isolationists. hillary clin

the president taking up rick perry on this meeting so we're waiting word from rick perry's office if or not they'll accept that or be able to arrange that meeting time in their schedules. we'll have to see how that plays out today. >> do you think, ed, if the governor accepts this meeting, and rick perry and president obama get together and talk, what are the chances that something is really accomplished? >> well you know, i think both sides will bring in intense partisanship to this meeting. you can already tell in the letters that rick perry and the white house have ex-changed over this meeting already that have been released here in the last 12 hours or so, so you'll probably see a lot more of that in the obama administration highlighting its efforts to coordinate with central american countries to help solve the crisis, but rick perry is saying what they need is more security along the border and a better effort to seal off that border, to solve this crisis, so you definitely have two different camps coming to this in many different ways. >> all right, ed lavandera, thank you so

>> rick perry. >> he's winning. >> the president. >> look where rick perry started, though. >> out andr president obama -- >> the visible exchange that was just -- we just had on television. >> rick perry for you. >> fall all over himself in the public's fear three years ago, he's now using this to come out and he's -- >> rick perry look presidential to you? >> yes, he is, and very skrud and very capable. he's not to be underestimated. >> a star is born. >> don't forget the mclaughlin group has its own website. and earlier programs on the web. at any time from anywhere in the world, the mclaughlin.com. could anything be easier or more enriching? >> i can't think of anything. >> more angst for john kerry. >> at the start of his tenure at secretary of state, john kerry made reinvig ration of the peace talks between the israel -- a top priority. here's what secretary said on july 30, 2013, one year ago. >> quote. the parties have agreed here today that all of the final issues, all of the core issue, and all other issues are all on the table for negotiation. and they are on the table with

as you say, rick perry had momentum. he was in texas. the president came down.he was in a position where all eyes in the nation were watching him. he in some people's estimation appeared to be more presidential than the president in terms of the way he was handling it. that's clearly the perception that he would want people to have. then he goes after rand paul and seizes that moment. rand paul is going to have to work to separate himself from his father in many ways who was very isolationist and rand paul is trying to prove that he is a different generation. no. >> that's very much true. he continually invokes the mantel of ronald reagan talking about reagan and peace through strength, that you don't have forces in the field as much as you have the threat of the use of american force that it is most powerful the less it is deployed. now for paul, it is good because when people like perry name-check you and try to get into a fight with you, just like, by the way, ted cruz did before, like chris christie did before, that solidifies your status as a front-runner.

rick, you're right. gao, a government organization that discovered this fraud and our hats off to them. but we have all these organizations that have been created during this administration, to check fraud in the private-sector but not enough to check fraud in the public sector. >> that's not true. you have seen a major increase -- >> the irs. >> we saw a major increase in cracking down on fraud in medicare. i'm trying to find a way to work flaming cactus into this discussion. i love that expression. they are cracking down on fraud. can i remind you that it's not just called the affordable care act it's called the patient protection and affordable care act. >> how about consumer protection act. >> it's not about that. it's patient protection. by the way, affordable care act didn't mean affordable health insurance policies it meant bending the curve of the cost of health care in this country to make it more affordable. >> let's get to one of the points because rick threw a lot out there. fact is do you th

in the far right corner, governor rick perry who is called for reinvading iraq. it worked so well the last time. senator paul has a medical degree from duke, governor perry was on scholastic probation at texas a&m where he studied animal sciences. governor paul says perry is dead wrong. perry says in turn that senator paul seems curiously blind. seems to me they're both right. >> it's interesting because in some ways each of them has i think an important point to make. but it also striekz strikes me, we need a national debate about what's happened since 9/11. i personally believe the strategies in both parties have failed. i think the world is getting more dangerous. just look at wolf in jerusalem and then look at what's happened with isis, what the attorney general said over the weekend, he stays awake at night worrying about attacks in isiss. look at the crimea. i think it's good to have somebody serious starting a real debate. compare that to hillary clinton's three weeks of not really rich, i'm sort of rich, i'm actually poor. i can't explain how i couldn't g

i think it's -- you know, look, rick perry is the governor. and frankly a dope about this issue, totally unhelpful suggesting darkly that there's a conspiracy that barack obama is behind. children are fleeing violence in central america. taken a very long time to deport them because of a law that president bush signed back when he was president. that law was designed to try to protect people who are flying violence and to protect their rights, and so president obama here is simply caught trying to obey a law that was passed before he became president. but that line about faith leaders i think is most important. if he's going to pick rick perry's brain, that's the definition of slim pickings. >> paul. >> there's a faith leader we ought to be talking about, moork seit, been to the region, honduras and guatemala, testified before the congress. read his testimony and actually knows what's going on and he explains that it's these children are like children trapped in a burning building and, of course, they are going to leap and come to anything tha

. >> rick perry got a lesson in his own way. he got in late. he stayed a lot of time away from the state. we talked about this in the book, rick perry chose to spend a lot of time outside of iowa. he didn't get in the coffee shops and get in the church basements and work people over. he seems serious in 2016. i think you will see him and you have. he came to iowa and is getting involved in local dinners where you can meet people. that is the lasting lesson for people is you have to get out here. newt gingrich was a front runner for a while as well. people knew him. but he ran a different campaign. people that didn't like him said his campaign was more about promoting his last book, movie or his wife's latest book. they didn't raise much money or spend a lot of time here and the whole three marriage thing didn't go over well. he had his moment and was gone. ron paul is one you can say has a long shelf life here. he ran in '08 and '12 and he more than doubled his support from those times. his people were organized and he found a way to get people

even so, the rick perry of 2011 never went as far as rick perry has gone these days on immigration or the obama administration. here is what he said last month about the current crisis.

carla stewart is former national press secretary for rick santorum. should rick perry say yes?ile meeting on this very important issue, immigration, tomorrow in dallas? >> well, i spoke with someone in the governor's office a short time ago and the bottom line is this. they say that governor perry has been making the point that this is a national crisis for quite some time and wanted the president to see it first-hand and the fact that his invitation for the president to go see it face-to-face on the border, the fact that that was turned down, he's a little frustrated by that but at the end of the day, he's the governor of his state and he wants what's best for his state. i think between now and the time the president leaves texas, they will have some kind of conversation because at the end of the day, governor perry wants what's best for his state and certainly, for our country. >> we talked a little about this yesterday. i think it's stupefying some people as to why the president isn't going to the border. he's getting heat from republicans and from those in his own party. wh
