i m just watching amazement. we know that endorsement will go to mitt romney. in just about an hour donald trump will bring on the show and tell us all what he thinks. it s our news nation gut check. will this endorsement matter. donors pour thousands of dollars into planned parenthood after susan g. komen pulls out. we know madonna is performing at the super bowl this sunday but what does prayer have to do with super model giselle and her hubby, tom brady. fall out after susan g. komen foundation cut its ties to planned parenthood including funding for breast examines. they say it s received more than $400,000 in fewer than 24 hours
that he would endorse or was expected to endorse newt gingrich. a few hours later that went out the window. what was going on behind the scenes. were they negotiating with donald trump to get his endorsement? apparently not. coming from mr. trump s mouth, he said this is case of some confusion with the gingrich campaign. he said they thought they had this locked up. he said they were planning to endorse mitt romney. it s a story an endorsement to mr. newt gingrich leaked out. he said he tried to get ahold of mr. gingrich this morning but haven t been able to. all right. thank you very much. let me bring in michael smerconi
donald trump is calling amajor announcement. sources confirm it s going to be mitt romney who he is endorsing. romney is still taking heat from conservatives over his quote, i m not concerned about the very poor comment. one of his rivals, ron paul is defending romney. take a listen. not too long ago, he was taken out of context that he liked to fire pem, which was completely out of context. i don t think he could come in here and say i don t care about the poor people. joining me now, ron paul s campaign chairman, jesse benton. i know you can t speak directly for mr. paul. you have people that have gone after romney for this flub. mr. paul being a little more forgiving there. what s behind that?
who were slamming mitt romney or criticizing him on that same remark that people tried to pawn off as a liberal talking point. there s no question it was a clumsy comment. i think we know what he meant to say. what did he mean? there was a safety net, medicaid, programs designed to help them. it comes across as being insensitive. you should care about all americans and say i m going to be the president of all american citizens. that s what he could have said a lot more artfully. how long can people say it comes across as insensitives as posed to perhaps a part of this individual s fiber? i know that you in the past brought up when the president made the comments at fundraiser in california about people clinging to bibles and guns. folks have not let that go who don t like this president. here we are with mitt romney and people are trying to massage, when you look at the $10,000
smerconish. thank you. michael, i ll start off with you because i know this is your favorite topic, donald trump. garrett says it s a done deal. we know he s endorsing mitt romney. i think this is the worst possible thing that could happen to the romney campaign today. why? the worth possible. the whole dialogue today is all about the comments where governor romney said he doesn t care about the poor and i don t want to take it out of context. everybody knows the full statement but on day when people are assessing what s his level of concern for those who have the least, he s going to stand up and claim the endorsement of the most notorious billionaire in the united states. i think this is ridiculous. i think it s bad advance work. he should have called him up and said the donald, can we put this off for 30 days. ron, what do you think of the timing as michael brings up, as well as the value of this endorsement? i disagree with michael on
