announcing work for welfare. under obama s plan, you wouldn t have to work and wouldn t have to train for a job. they just send you your welfare check. and welfare to work goes back to being plain old welfare. in a moment, you ll hear from newt gingrich, who joins us to defend that ad but also makes a pretty stunning admission about whether the ad he s defending is true to the facts. but first i want you to hear how romney is campaigning on the claims made in the ad. with a very careful executive action, he removed the requirement of work from welfare. it is wrong to make any change that would make america more of a nation of government dependency. we must restore, and i will restore work in the welfare. now, listening to that and watching the ad, you would think the white house with a sweep of the pen somehow managed to undo all your elected representatives, democrats and republicans, accomplished back in the late 90s with welfare reform. you get the impression the ob
extraordinary video inside a cockpit as a plane falls from the sky. an unbelievable story of what happened to everyone onboard. this is piers morgan tonight. good evening. with both sides spending billions of dollars, this election campaign isn t the most expensive in history it s also turning out to be the ugliest. tonight, we re seeing proof how far president obama and mitt romney will go to win in november. the latest attack ad from an obama super pac. obama is doubling down on its shots on bain capital. it s saying romney may have played a role in a woman s death. my guest frank rich, you re getting very angry about this as the days have worn on. i heard the distaning from the super pac and all this. the bottom line, this ad, and we ll see it in a moment, it basically says to the daz you ll viewer, mitt romney kills this guy s wife. that s what it says. they can flower it up any way they like. that s what they re saying. well, yes. and i guess the question it raises
it s romney hood. tonight, the campaigns square off. and a day at the beach turns terrifying. my prime-time exclusive of the survivor of the cape cod shark attack. this is piers morgan tonight. good evening. our big story tonight, inside the mind of a shooter. jared lee loughner, the alleged gunman of the tucson shooting that killed six people and nearly killed gabby giffords entered a not guilty plea in a court today. a judge ruled him competent to stand trial. this comes after news the psychiatrist who treated the alleged aurora shooter james holmes was so concerned about his behavior. an abc news reporter yesterday even contacted university police. in oak creek wconsin, police saying tonight there are links between a white supremacist movement and this man. he was mentioned in a small number of files going back seven years. all three shooters bought their guns legally. my response to that is why were they allowed to? surely, there must be new controls put in to stop pe
her medals i love gold, it s my favorite color. and the olympian who inspired her. what an honor to be at the same olympic games as this guy. plus the the two women behind gymnastics champ gabby douglas. she said, either i can find a new coach or i want to give up doing the sport. this is piers morgan tonight. good evening from london. we ll get to my interviews with olympians missy franklin and serena williams later in the show. we begin tonight with our big story. the deadly rampage at a sikh temple. law enforcement officers say wade michael page, an army veteran, was a lone gunman in the rampage. neighbors say page played in a far right punk band and an old army buddy of page s talked about what he called racial holy war. i ll talk to him exclusively in a few minutes. joining me now is our first guest. he went to the temple every day. he was on his way there when the shootings took place on sunday. you knew a number of the people who lost their lives. tell me
community here in oak creek, wisconsin. at a temple preparing for sunday services when authorities say an army veteran named wade michael page appeared, took out a 9 millimeter pistol and opened fire. this is a facebook picture of him. a swastika in the background. it s neither the only photo of him striking a racist pose. nor the only hint of his apparently long-held white supremacist beliefs. tonight the latest in efforts to pin down any and all hate group connections he may have had. now earlier today, president obama reacted to that possibility. i think the american people immediately recoil against those kinds of attitudes, and i think it will be very important for us to reaffirm once again that in this country, regardless of what we look like, where we come from, who we worship, we are all one people, and we look at one another and we respect one another. mitt romney called the shooting a tragedy that should never befall any house of worship. nationwide there s been
