"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

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

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

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

former texas governor rick perry has suspended his presidential campaign. first republican to officially exit the race. joining me now is chuck todd, nbc news political director. chuck, perry is out, so who is the next shoe to trodrop? who is the next candidate to leave? >> perry always viewed himself as somebody who should be top tier. if he couldn't get in the top tier debate he thought what am i doing to my reputation. his decision to do this will put pressure on. his decision was financially driven. one presidential candidate when they dropped out some 20 years ago when you're out of bud, you're out of beer. when you're out of money, you're out of the game. he was out of money. i think you look at the other guys like the bobby jindal, lindsey graham who have good resumes but can't even get into the first tier debate. you can't help but wonder that they into be -- when they can't pay a staff, that's when they end up dropping out. >> chuck todd, it may seem cruel to say so, but some people may go, hey, was rick perry still in the race? >> no, it's fair. l

the former texas governor rick perry suspends his presidential campaign and takes some serious swipesry 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 united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn

first candidates to go after donald trump specifically and trump was not shy about firing back. >> rick perryhould have to have an iq test before getting on the debate stage. >> and then there was perry hitting back. >> he offers a barking carnival act that can best be described as trumpism. a toxic mix of demagoguery and mean-spiritedness and nonsense. let no one be mistaken, donald trump's candidacy is a cancer on convservatism and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded. >> and then he dropped out. well, he was one of the first ones to attack trump, as i was saying. let's bring in amy holmes and tara mcdowdell. amy, i'll start with you on this. why now? why not next week, a monday, get that lead up to the debate? >> right, you make a great point. it's friday, he's making this announcement, then it's the weekend. you know what? monday is a whole new game. rick perry's name will be long forgotten by monday. i 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 offeri

did that news last week mean that rick perry was getting out of the race altogether? ry took pains to say, even as they shut down their new hampshire campaign and that was breaking news, they pointed out their candidate was doing this differently than the others. he was going to focus on south carolina. remember how rudy giuliani said he would start in florida? rick perry is going to start in south carolina. there was rick perry on the steps of the south carolina state capitol campaigning literally waving a bible in the air and saying, "onward christian soldiers." when you think i'm being hyperbolic, i'm not. >> onward christian soldiers! >> that was the proof, yes, maybe he had given up on iowa and new hampshire and shut down his campaign there entirely, but he was obviously planning on hinging his whole presidential campaign on the next state on the primary calendar after iowa and new hampshire. and that, of course, was south carolina. that was the best hope, which is why it became as particularly devastating news today when we heard from the campaign today that sout

that story after the break. ♪ mark: the breaking news -- governor rick perry is getting out of the presidential he is right now in missouri, st. louis. he says he is suspending his campaign but that is usually what you would do. you see perry giving the speech that he is withdrawing from the race in st. louis. we will watch that, but i have been surprised by this. i was thinking by the super pac that he would stay in. john: i thought if anybody was going to drop out before iowa it would be him. i don't think he is a dumb man. he thinks he has not been able to overcome the legacy of his 2012 race. he is not getting traction. i don't think money will necessarily help him. i think he understood that. the timing is a little -- it is never a good time to get out but i am not shocked. mark: he has been shutting down campaign offices and laying off staff so it was going to be tough going forward. in addition to the no staff was the reality there were so many people ahead of him who are appealing to the same voters. john: the same discussion we often have around this office -- what can stop donald trum

the other person they are tied with is poor beleaguered rick perry. 1% in south carolina. perry looks dead. he said he is not dead. this is the texas tribune, perry continues to bat le rumors of campaign demise. rick perry is down to one campaign staffer in iowa, zero in new hampshire. we learned yesterday he has closed his campaign headquarters in south carolina and has no national paid staffers anywhere. but whoever is still speaking for that ghost campaign and doing so as a hobby presumably now, whoever rick perry's spokesperson is trying to keep the national press convinced that rick perry is technically still running. each candidate has to have at least one staffer in two of the first four states that will run in the nomination. perry campaign said it has carefully not died in specific enough ways to still meet that criteria. so they have one staffer in iowa and one staffer somewhere else who with they are importantly keeping on the payroll so rick perry can qualify in to the cnn debate a week from tonight. that means the rick perry campaign is n

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

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. >>

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 fiorina. the latest twist in the bitter battle for the republican nominati nomination, former ceo carly fiorina, once attacked by democrats as a corporate jet conservative. >> a million dollar yacht and five cor five corps rat jorate jets. >> reporter: fiorina officially set to come face to face with trump and the other top contenders on the main stage of the debate next wednesday at 8:00 p.m. eastern. many waiting to see whether fiorina will address trump's rude comments about her this week. the frontrunner telling "rolling stone" would anyone vote for that? can you imagine that the face of our next president? she's a woman and i'm not supposed to say bad things, but come on, are we serious? trump often d

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

rick perry's political director defected. the word is his operation is on its last leg. rry on the undercard debate stage again in september, then this news from new hampshire. 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

when former texas governor rick perry dropped out of the race. but not without this anti-trump warning. governor perry: we can't indulge nativist appeals that divide the nation further. the answer to our current dider in chief is not to elect a republican divider in chief. 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.

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

no one. >> rick perry nose dived. rand paul. >> not because of. >> not because of but a strong correlation. >> i think jeb has been hurt by it but the ridicule he is a low energy candidate constantly, repeatedly and gotten under jeb's skin. i don't know if voters have pulled away but gotten in jeb's head. birth right citizenship because donald trump was for it rattled him. >> goes after the women i just think -- maybe it's the women -- the women roll their eyes we have heard everything so it's like, i don't know, it's awful, stupid stuff that is said but, you know, i don't know, maybe -- maybe i don't take it as seriously. i i have heard too much of it anyway, major political news tonight governor perry says he is out. moments ago former texas governor rick perry addressing a crowd in st. louis. >> today, i am suspending my campaign for the presidency of the united states. we have a tremendous field of candidates. probably the greatest group of men and women i step aside knowing our party is in good hands as long as w

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

let's start with the 1st casualty of the gop, former governor rick perry stepping out.o think he is a great guy. >> he is wonderful. i've gotten to meet him a few times. great record. ii don't know that i would make copy of his test record. lou: had to take that shot. >> he is brilliant on taxes. you get him on other subjects, maybe he is not so knowledgeable. as soon as he put those glasses on, it was not him anymore. lou: and trump went after him on that. >> but once he said it, you cannot look at him. lou: and trump has a skill. we have known him a long time. trump, let's take a look a look at how he is doing. i think that's rises a lot of people. he is doing very well with women voters. trump's support among women, one 3rd. he has moved up since just last month. he does things to these numbers that we have never seen occur on the part of any candidate. and among those who have college degrees, adults with college education, he is up 12 points since last month. >> nothing surprises me here. he can be rough, make crazy insults, and it might be childish and mean. but s

because governor rick perry white house dreams over.ding his presidential campaign after struggling for months. who explaining the latest than the great kristen fisher. >> i'm not scared of my n inow. trouble have been there for weeks. perry has been way down in the polls. his campaign ran out of cash. they even had to stop paying staffers. and many of his top advisors had left for other campaigns. so, the signs were all there. this announcement really came as a surprise. he is is the longest serving governor ever in texas. in fact, he never lost an election until he started running for president. he hates being at the bottom of the pack. so according to one of his top donors that come competitive streak really played a part in his decision to drop out. >> i give you this news with no regrets. it's been an honor to travel this country to speak with the american people about their hopes and their dreams. to see a sense of optimism, being prevalent, despite this season of cynical politics. >> and just like that, the g.o.p. field drops to

rick perry, that is one of his calling cards. he was governor for one of the biggest state in the country. he was not able to use that argument of government explains to his advantage this time around. host: a tweet from the reality star and successful businessman donald trump leading in the polls, he says rick perry is a terrific guy and i wish him well. i know he will have a great future. withd trump is very active his twitter account. if you want to join the conversation about election 2016, we are talking just crush hour of the national journal -- we are talking with josh kraushaar. ,emocrats at 202-748-8000 republicans at 202-748-8001, independent set 202-748-8002. hillary going to make certain announcement about big ideas, big policy ideas. how far away as hillary clinton today from that speech the months ago? guest: quite a bit. one thing we noted on the show is that his/her -- that was her second launch. during her additional campaign announcement, she did not move. normally when you get announcement, you get a little bit

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

i'm not sure rick perry has thought in these terms.ight this time, but did everything wrong three years ago and nobody has forgotten. >> so he's out. it's interesting you mentioned governor walker saying he realizes he has to be much more aggressive if he can even resurrect himself. my last question to you would be after all the dust settles and wednesday night in the debate, who might be the next to go? >> i think it might very well be walker, having just said that. possibly bobby jindal. as you know, it doesn't cost much for these candidates to just fly in and get free media at various events. in the case of perry, he ran out of gas. so these guys could 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 l

former texas governor rick perry. welcome back. good to be with you, sean. >> i always thought you were a great candidate. i thought your record in texas was as appealing and i just -- i'm really surprised, to be honest. are you surprised? >> well, we think we have a great record as well. and i think when people take a look at it, but we knew this was going to be a tough race. there was upwards of 17 people in it. but we knew early on that there were two things that we had to take care of, two things that needed to go away, if you will, and another thing that needed to happen. one of those was the indictment. this indictment by the travis county district attorney's office, this drunk d.a. that had used this office we thing for political purposes did the same thing to tom delay, lasted for ten years and had a real corrosive effect on our ability to raise money. the other thing was we needed to be on the main debate stage on august 6th. we missed it by a few percentages of one point. when those two things didn't happen, it had a very

here's what's happening, then there were 16, rick perry suspended his campaign, the first republican candidate to drop out of the crowded field. perry struggled to gain foothold in the latest polls and last month the campaign ran out of money to pay some staffers. in his statement perry alluded to donald trump with a parting swipe. >> the conservative movement has always been about principles, not about personalities. our nominee should embody those principles. he or she must make the case for the cause of conservatism more than the cause of their own celebrity. >> well, the new msnbc mayor ris poll finds hillary clinton. jeb bush the closest, bernie sanders has shown he can draw the biggest crowds in democratic strongholds but last night in georgia, he proved he can play in the south as well. more than 1200 supporters came out with roaring applause for a fund-raiser in atlanta. and donald trump appeared with jimmy fallon where he argued for an interesting election reform. >> you're in the lead right now. right? >> yeah, by a lot. you know, in some countries you can demand that the el

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

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

on friday we said good-bye to the indicted and irreplaceable rick perry.re taking a look at the candidates who may follow in his footsteps. while everyone eagerly awaits the banter between the front-runners, the true stars of the debate may be the ones literally represented by asterisks in the polls. nationally, lindsey graham and bobby jindal are each polling at less than 0.5%, according to this cbs news/"new york times" poll. and this might be the reason why. >> we do need to make america great again. we do need to fire everybody in washington. we do, in fact, need to get rid of police department cal corruptness. >> our friends are no longer afraid of belief in us and our enemies don't expect us. until you change that, you're never going to fix anything. >> and rick perry may have to hold the door open for a few other candidates as well. scott walker took -- well, basically, his campaign kpla collapsed. chris christie is clinging onto the loneliest number. in 2012, he nearly stole the spotlight from mitt romney. now christie is decidedly out of style. he
