wayne slater, writer for the dallas morning news. thanks for joining us tonight. >> great to be with you. >> why do you think the rick perry folks made the list of endorsers a needle in a hay stack when it used to be right on the front page. do you think that has political implications here? >> yes. you can find those endorsers with a rod, that's about it. it's amazing, your discussion. look, clearly the exotic ideas and news and reports on your show and else where about how exotic and unorthodox these views are have caused heart burn inside the perry camp and has threatened to distract from what they wanted to do, look, we're having a prayer rally, people are going to show up, they are going to pray, they are going to sing, then you have the guy who has sex with the sun goddess as part of the story, it's not helpful. clearly, they wanted to do that. i don't think it's a big problem for him because religious conservatives who will be there understand that they are a species, a group that's persecuted, they are victims, and that this

wayne slater is a writer for the dallas morning news.e joins me this morning to talk more about this. it is good to have you on. i want to get straight to it. why has there been so much job growth consistently within the state of texas alone? >> those numbers are indisputable. it depends if it is half or 40% in the last two years. it has been in texas. it is the energy industry. energy costs are up. a lot of energy businesses in texas. it is a sun belt state. it is proximity to mexico. it has a business-friendly climate with taxes and low wages for business whose want to move here. >> wayne, a lot of companies flocking to texas because it has no state income tax and lower cost of living than other states. how much credit can rick perry take for this? >> we have a saying among texas bird hunters. you shoot at everything that flies and claim everything that falls. it shouldn't be a surprise that the governor is claiming a lot of credit for good news in texas in terms of the economy. to some extent, he shares some responsibility or credit.

there's a couple of great accounts and some of the guys in my book, colonel slater is a real cold war hero who i write about. he was the commander of the base for a number of years in the '60s. and he explained to me how often commercial airline pilot would be flying on the west coast, let's say at dusk, at 30,000 feet, and they would see the oxcart fly over, overhead at 90,000 feet at mach three. and people in the plane would see it as well and they would, the pilots agree to him, ufo, ufo. colonel slater would have to send the fbi do whatever it was the plane was landing and make the pilots and people sign inadvertent disclosure forms, letting them know they would be in real serious trouble if they told anyone about that. these kinds of things certainly only added to the ufo lore and mythology. >> you have five oxcart that crashed, and, of course, as they went out to get the titanium covers and all of that, obviously these kind of secret people went out in the desert and people saw them. and it all looked like they're giving something very secret, which was, but just not a flying sa

prize-winning british photographer, david slater traveled to a indonesian island to the track down and rare and endangeringed species, the crested black macaque. he said he was instantly befriended with him. they walked with him for days. they were fascinated by his equipment and when he handed over his camera, this is what happened. a fantastic self-portrait and it gets better. a beautiful photo that's a lovely smile. and in light of all the unsavory photos in the news of late, why not a picture of pure joy that only a mother crested black macaque could love. >>> tonight a tree is in the news and while it's just one tree in a nation of trees, you've seen this tree without knowing it more times, perhaps, than any other tree on television. the tree in question is in the background. for so many of our live reports from the white house as you can see going back to the beginning of the republic, right up until present day, the elm tree is in the news because it was heavily damaged, sadly, by a big storm over the weekend. it was trimed back today. we're afraid that there are plans to cut it

roy slater. we first met roy in the original "lock-up" episode at colorado state penitentiary in 2000. at the time, he had been through five extractions. >> i've got some criminal cases, okay? you know what i mean? i assaulted a guy. >> roy was paroled in the fall of 2008. his twin brother ray is incarcerated here at limon. >> how is your brother? >> he's at home. >> when sd he get out? >> two months ago. >> he would act out and then once he calmed back down, he was reasonable, but he would get worked up. >> several years prior to becoming the warden at limon, travis was the lieutenant at colorado state and had been involved in several of roy's extractions. >> the last four cell extractions when he got prayed, i was the one that sprayed him. that was the last straw. he said he didn't want to play any more. >> he said it was difficult to the oc. he said it wasn't fun any more. in my opinion, he got a thrill from fighting with the staff when we would go into the cell and wrestle him to the ground.

. >>> david slater is a wildlife photographer who is based in the united kingdom.ently he spent three days at a park in indonesia, following some crested back monkeys. one day he set his camera on a tripod and walked away for a minute. one of the monkeys commandeered the camera and began taking pictures. f

a father who was a state leg slater and you a juvenile delinquent. >> to be honest, and again, it was that opposite equal reaction. my pappa was a pentecostal preacher. my dad in government. at the same time, on any given night, if i could get the police to chase me, that was a successful night. if they didn't chase me, then i was doing something wrong. >> now you're a father. when you see miley occasionally falling off the straight and narrow, do you recognize that slightly rebellious edge to her? >> of course. you know. i think certainly she gets a lot of that from her old man. >> what have you learned about yourself over the last 50 years? >> i've learned that it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get back up. and that's kind of -- i think the key for everybody in life, you know. >> what's the key to getting back on your feet when you've had a big blow? >> dust yourself off. it's just like baseball. i compare life to a baseball game a lot of times. other times you know you dive in. you might get called out. you might get safe, whatever. you get that

and even though rick perry may have wanted to stay out of the race for a while longer, as wayne slater reported on the slow last night, national fundraising is the hardest thing he'll face, he has to prove he can move money and time is ticking for locking down big republican supporters. and that is on a collision with some another thing. he has time pressure to get into the republican presidential race. the other thing that is about to hit that first thing is this. it's his big stadium prayer event next weekend in houston. which probably seemed like a good idea at one point. but now that he is this close to announcing that he wants to be president, and frankly everybody is wondering if he's going to be a contender or if he's going to be a rick santorum, rick perry is saddled by timing with this prayer event. and with all of the pastors who are signed on to the rick perry prayer event. >> since the night that the president emperorer slept with the sun goddess, the stock market in japan has gone down and never come up sense. the statue of liberty. you know where we got it from? french fr

[laughter] that is about an hour in a half east of less but you are not very nice to california but that is where we can put everybody out the

they would say if you like this you may like slater. how can you predict this?when the net perceptions came along it didn't because no one was ever asked into the system and had the cognitive dissidence that people are willing to be shown in things they might like the they don't like being told. we are making sausage for you and this is how the sausages made if you don't like. >> guest: the argument would be with engineers they say people aren't really demanding this that you want or the algorithm to be changed in any particular way, how can you have consumer pressure about a product they don't know exists? you can't get hate mail on that. it doesn't exist. >> host: it would be like the cigarette companies singing the additives we're putting in no one is complaining about them. >> host: let me ask you this again in a really explicit way. coast hugging who globally minded liberal, i want to see what a different slice of my own country in the world i am currently getting and using google and facebook and the standard media so i want to break out of this bubble tha
