santorum was a tax on all of us. >> was it money well spent?ike that idea. he said by giving to money by charity it's i tax myself. >> it's a self tax. it's better than having the government spend money because the government is not as smart as the super rich which spend money the way they want which is better for all of us. >> stephen: we may not need roads or schools but we need the ballet. >> you might not need air traffic controllers because you might have a private jet. >> stephen: i do have i -- i have a private jet. >> there you go. >> stephen: what upset me most is i'm not one of the super rich. >> how much do you make? >> stephen:ly not tell you. the super rich we're talking about is the .001% and higher. >> and up. >> stephen: the 1%eves like me are the 99% compared to those people. >> exact it will right. >> stephen: should i be occupying them? i bet it's a lovely place to occupy.

first, rick santorum last night on cnn. >> would you kill big bird? >> well, as a matter of fact, i voted to kill big bird in the past. it doesn't mean i don't like big bird. you can kill things and still like them. maybe to eat them, i don't know. >> you can kill things but still like them? very interesting. >>> on to newt gingrich who went to one zoo after another during his presidential campaign. newt was on cnn last night with former michigan governor jennifer granholm, an active obama supporter, of course. let's take a look. >> newt gingrich, should big bird be killed or not? >> that's total baloney. big bird makes millions and millions of dollars annually. >> save big bird! >> it's a commercially profitable show. >> save big bird! >> you would save big bird? >> i would save big bird by liberating big bird from the bureaucracy. >> jennifer granholm looks like she's still at the convention in charlotte. of course, he's a big bird fan. may look like he and granholm are on the same page with keeping big board around but newt still wants to do away w

we're going to ask rick santorum. and a cadet in the air force forced to choose between her child or staying in the military. does the policy add up? good evening, tonight, we have breaking news. new e-mail, i've got it in my hand, about the attack on the american consulate in libya and i want to read it to you. it says ds command reports the current shelter location for com, which stands for chief of mission, personnel in benghazi is under attack by mortar fire. there are reports of injuries to com staff. this e-mail was sent just before midnight on september 11th of this year. suzanne kiel has been working the story all day. and she's out front with the latest what you can tell us about the significance of this particular e-mail? >> the e-mail shows us that the nature of the attack and it came some eight hours after the attack happened. keep in mind what u.s. officials knew at the time. they knew for example, that al sharia was a well equipped group with anti-american sentiment. they had rpgs, mortar rounds, a fleet

>> yes, ladies and gentlemen, apparently rick santorum not only wants to kill big bird, he wants to eat them. santorum knew right away that maybe that didn't come out right but there are no do-overs on the hms piers. not with captain morgan at the helm. >> that's probably -- can we -- >> no, that was beautifully badly phrased. i think we should end on that note. just to make you feel really uncomfortable. you can kill things but still like them. rick santorum. what a perfect way to end the interview. >> you can kill things but still like them. words to live by on the "ridiculist." that does it for us. see you again one hour from now. another edition of "360" at 10:00 p.m. eastern. thanks for watching. "piers morgan tonight" starts now. >>> tonight, obama's big break. >> my opponent has been trying to do a two-step and reposition and got an extreme makeover. >> crushed by romney on wednesday, he gets a huge boost with the new jobs report. the numbers are surprising, unemployment rate below 8% for the first time in his presidency. but is it enough to stop a surging romney? >> if we were t

rick santorum actually took it on governor romney.e play what happened during that time. >> the bill i voted on was the martin luther king voting rights bill. this was a provision that particularly targeted african-americans, and i voted to allow them to have their voting rights back once they completed their sentence. >> governor romney, 30 seconds to respond. >> i don't think people who have committed violent crimes should be allowed to vote again. that's my own view. >> rick santorum was calling out romney on that saying he changed his position there. this is not just kept in the confines of black community or within the democratic party. >> no, that's right. rick santorum is for this. jeb bush and charlie crist made it happen in florida. governor scott turned the clock back and took the right to vote back from formerly incarcerated people. it's outrageous. this is a kuncountry where we believe voting is a right and we believe all people should have a second chance. the notion that a sigts governor like governor scott would undo wh

he did well in the 20 debates rick santorum went up against him. i would also argue one of the big advantages romney had going into the debate was he did have to debate rick santorum, he did have to debate newt gingrich. it is like having a preseason. and the president didn't have that. i think the other key thing that came out of this is the presidential race for all practical purposes actually started last night. a lot of people just didn't know mitt romney and they do know him now and they came across as likable, even in his critiques of the president. and i think the base of the republican party is extremely energized after last night. >> anita, our own chris matthews said the president looked like he was enduring the debate than having a debate, fighting it out. we know senator john keshry was the president's sparring partner to prep him for this. what went wrong? i mean, why didn't the president display the passion needed, because it is really the undecides out there, both sides, whether you are for governor romney or president obama, why not

rick santorum weighs in the day after the debate. and governor duval patrick on why he says this about his friend, president obama. >> i for one will not stand by and let him be bullied out of office. >> i will ask them both where this campaign is headed. plus my all-star political experts on what the candidates should do next. >> we are going to take back the white house. >> we don't want what he's been selling for the last year. >> this is "piers morgan tonight." >>> good evening. our big story tonight, 33 days to go until the election and in the wake of the first big presidential debate, the candidates are out on the campaign trail sounding like they're pretty well ready for round two already. listen to mitt romney in his surprise visit to the conservative political action conference. >> last night i thought was a great opportunity for the american people to see two very different visions for the country, and i think it was helpful to be able to describe those visions. i saw the president's vision as trickle down government and i

rick santorum was getting creamed before foster friess came along. when newt gingrich came out, and support by sheldon abelson, did not drown voices out there that help people hear about newt gingrich? today keep them in the race longer? did more people get to hear his views? we can go back -- >> there were no newt gingrich supporters and there were no rick santorum supporters. that's the point. [talking over each other] >> if those people have actual americans borders and it would've been able to stay in race longer because they would have lots of donors which they did not have. speak at this point we're not talking sosa because we know that many, many speech i don't agree with you. >> if he said that any supporters, you're not talking seriously because there are hundreds of thousands of supporters in newt gingrich and rick santorum who voted for them in the primaries. they had many, many supporters. perhaps you believe everybody is just an ignorant dupe fooled by a few ads, but i'm not so pessimistic about the american voter. we go back further, lo

just so offensive that you want to left would mock santorum for that because the facts are the fact that people are saddened by a miscarriage or stillbirth it only testified it was decided by as he put it into a char on his mantel in his living room are you trying to say that he was celebrating a stillbirth i did something that causes are disgusting i'm saying it's just plain . those are but. also tell i go through what he went through i won't pretend i'm not you know is that yeah and i think that i think that men discussing abortion is something that should be a lot of for. everybody but if there are other but well you're right and good where i want to take this was was gender equality in general you know should mitt romney still has not said that he would have signed the lilly ledbetter fair pay for equal pay for equal so work law i'm assuming he won't say it because he would have signed it should women have equal rights in the workplace i mean as soon as they can get the full equal work as soon as this is like when mitt romney said if we're going to have women in the workplace then we

rick santorum stomped on his behalf today. >> are enemy's fear us and allies us less and our trust us less. >> the present will claim the end ofccesses in iraq war and the killing of bin laden. these are important events. it helps to understand exactly of these candidate has dawned. that is why the president is to tonight.ard >> democrats say advantage obama this new ad today. >> the clear choice, president obama into the iraq war. leftromney would have there.troops >> the tagline on that ad is, fighting over there and start rebuilding here. it is about the economy. this is about foreign-policy. the economy is still the number- one issue. the'll be able to watch abc 7, coverage begins at 9:00. you can tell us what you think debate with the instant reaction feature of our website. wjla.com/react with your computer or compatible smart phone and give us your opinion. the running mates are out there on the campaign trail. joe biden is an ohio. he said his opponents is positions when it comes to cuts to the federal budget. ryan is in colorado tonight. he promises that mitt romney not cut t

if he is smart he would look to santorum's last debate with romney. he did well and he found vulnerabilities in romney that caught him on his heels when he had nothing to lose. after that, the go-to guy. that was the issue. >> bob: eric's analogy on the obama side of the last debate. you played a team you were supposed to roll over easily and you couldn't get yourself up for that game? you showed up and you were arrogant and you thought you'd roll over them. then you didn't produce. that's probably what happened. there is genuinely a dislike of obama toward romney. >> dana: that shows and it's terrible. >> eric: talk about what really telling "usa today" poll that came out yesterday, gallup/"usa today" poll that shows women across the board skewing to obama. swing states, women and obama are dead even. if i'm romney tonight, that's who i talk to. swing state specifically. >> brian: the pro-life. you know obama wants the women back so he will try to get romney in an attack on pro-life. >> dana: big mistake. >> brian: are you going to put two supreme co

you just heard rick santorum talk about the president's strengths as a debater. this is something that american voters seem to agree with. most polls show they expect the president to prevail tonight by a large margin. does the president have a very high bar to pass tonight in the view of american voters? >> well, i think the test for both candidates tonight is who is going to lay out a vision and a detailed specific vision of how we're going to move this country forward. i think the candidate that does that will win that test. american people sitting at home in their living rooms are looking for details, and i think you'll see president obama continue to do that. he's been having that conversation with them for some time. mitt romney has not done that. tonight offers him an opportunity to do that. he's got 90 minutes to clarify some comments that he's made recently, some policies that are left open, some tax cuts that he won't say how he's going to pay for, and we're very much look forward to this. >> you're looking to plan to press him for specifics. turning th

. >> stephen: rick santorum is not in the race any more! just make up your mind! come on! is it romney or obama? >> rom-bama-ney rom-bama-ney. >> stephen: we'll be right back. ( $!,!,Ü$ >> stephen: welcome back, everybody, thanks so much. thanks, folks! nation, there is no bigger fan of the sport of cycling than yours truly. (laughter) i love every part of it: the wheels, the kick stand, the little bell. of course, my hero is seven-time tour de france winner and friend of the show lance armstrong. a pioneer in the sport he was, of course, the first man to ride his bike on the moon. (laughter) that's one small pair of shorts far man, one giant bulge for mankind. (laughter) of course, all that is ruined now because the u.s. anti-doping agency is accused armstrong of leading a massive doping program throughout his career. i don't understand why they're coming down on lance for doping! of course you need drugs to compete in a multiweek bicycle race! you need drugs just to watch one! (laughter) and now my friend lance has received the harshest punishment in the history of cycli

as it happened a couple of weeks later we could report rick santorum won that night.ney victory was not the only falsehood we delivered that night. here's how abc news presented that woman's plea to mitt romney. >> i wanted to show you a moment here earlier today, a supporter approaching romney and saying if you are elected, if you're sent to washington, you've got to do something about the jobs. she doesn't have one, her husband does not have one and neither of them have health care. here's what she said to the former governor. >> please, if you win, if you go on to washington, d.c. >> so moving. >> yes, so moving. so moving and so real. and i mean real in the sense of the work of a great actress being real. because a great actress does not fake emotion on screen. a great actress feels the emotion that she conveys on screen. the emotion is real. a great act stress feels that emotion on demand take after take if necessary. feels that emotion on demand not just in front of the other players in the scene, but a dispassionate film crew trying to capture this emotion. >>

>> i will tell you this, having done the campaign against him with rick santorum, i got to see him closeup in 20 debates and he improved dramatically from debate one to debate 20. in fact i would argue that he's better than the president today because having gone through and debated rick santorum and newt beginning sgrich. what he's also learned is to be more personable, and tell a narrative, not just feel like he's answering the questioner. this is about having a rapport with the people watching, having them believe and respect you. and he's become much better at that. >> you do not expect an oops moment? >> i don't think so from either one of them. they're very smart. they are vee skiry skilled. what's going to be interesting is the first two debates, the narrative afterwards was all about body language. people will watch that very closely tonight. and i think that's going to be the discussion tomorrow, as well. >> jonathan, hillary clinton took responsibility for the attack in benghazi last night. that happened -- listen to what was said. >> i take responsibility. i'm in charge of the

rick santorum. what a perfect way to end the interview. >> you can kill things and still like them. have a great weekend. >>> tonight, obama's big break. >> my opponent has been trying to do a two-step and reposition and got an extreme makeover. >> crushed by romney on wednesday, he gets a huge boost with the new jobs report. the numbers are surprising, unemployment rate below 8% for the first time in his presidency. but is it enough to stop a surging romney? >> if we were to re-elect president obama i don't think we would measure up to the test of time. >> tonight, the one man who has debated both of them, senator john mccain joins me. >> frankly, i didn't expect the president to do that poorly. >> he knows when to hold them and when to fold them. ♪ know when to walk away and know when to run ♪ >> the legendary kenny rogers, taking on politics -- >> in all fairness i really wanted obama to be a great president. >> and talking about his music and his love life. oh, yes, and we sing a duet. ♪ islands in the stream ♪ that is what we are >> this is "piers morgan tonight." >>> we begin
