base which perhaps other than the republican party are wary of going to. and in terms of his own life, is there much else we don t know about donald trump? yes. i think he s probably thinking, you know what? i ve got a shot. you know what? there probably is a lot we don t know about donald trump. having covered a lot of presidential campaigning, you re always surprised about the things you never knew about presidential candidates when they were running. and so, you know, i think that trump is going to have to get used to a completely different level of scrutiny than he s ever had, just when he has to file documents related to his finances. so i think it s going to be a whole different kind of thick for him, and i ask imagine him chafing at it. if you look at mitt romney, he s somebody who has run before. and it off helps to have that
they began treating this as one speech in a group of many, lit be the first step in a long journey. anything but being bold and concrete, which i think is what is needed now. david gergen, appreciate it much. ari fleischer thanks, senator mosley braun, thank you, as well. up next, quick question, what do gray wolves have to do with trimming the budget deficit? not much of anything. and yet they are in this new budget cutting deal. how did that happen? it s all about politics. we ll talk to ron paul about that, who is puzzled, as well. there s not much in washington that ever made much sense to me for a long time. it really shows how out of touch so many people are here in washington. later, a lot of response about this story, a dog in japan s radioactive hot zone. a lot of abandoned dogs, starving to death right now in
in the united states. why doesn t he show his birth certificate? why has he spent over $2 million in legal fees to keep this quiet? well, in the past on this program, we ve shown how the arguments birthers make don t square with the facts. that said, he seems to be getting a lot of traction from all the birther talk. as we mentioned, republicans put him at the top of the heap for their choice of 2012 presidential nominee. tying right up there with huckabee. he s reportedly sent a team of private investigators to hawaii to dig into the president s past. earlier tonight, piers morgan asked president obama s half sister about the debate that just won t go away. there s this whole, i think, ridiculous debate about whether he was born in america. what do you think of that? i think it s unfortunate. he was born in hawaii. there is a tremendous amount of proof that has already been presented. the then republican governor and
