herman cain. (applause) may 21st, 2011, centennial olympic park in atlanta, are you about to announce your candidacy for the president of the united states, a somber humbling moment. let's take a look. >> love y'all! my, my, my! lovia! ah, schuky ducky is the man today. >> what thoughts were going through your mind at that time? any? >> ah schuky ducky was a way for me to say i am thrilled to be here, and i am happy that you are happy that i'm here. >> why not just say that? (laughter) >> that would be too formal. >> so it was too formal for a speech in which you are announcing you are running for the highest office in the lajd. >> yes, yes. on that particular day i did not have a script. >> why write a speech when you can just say the first thing that comes into your head. (laughter) >> that is true. informality, i find, connects much more with people than formality. >> herman cain showed us that impro i havization on the campaign trail can lead to some memorable moments. >> when they asked me wh

. >> joining me tonight, herman cain and willie brown to debate the chris christie proposition. first up, stocks staged a comeback. the bulls are back in town. good ooesk, kayla. >> the markets did snap that five-day losing streak today. slight gains across the board. the dow adding 89 points, nasdaq faring a best. we saw pressure easing from europe as a bond sale in italy was met with more investors. the market looking past previous yields scares, not to mention more talk of potential ecb intervention. the euro gains against the dollar today closing up slightly off highs we hit mid-morning. the sentiment out of europe not surprisingly lifting. led by the big banks. you can see bank of america gained nearly 4% today. jpmorgan up nearly 2.5% and citigroup and wells fargo both up better than 2% today. the group as a whole rising 1.6% on the day. we also saw energy stocks rising even though the commodity complex was very much in flux. demand rose, pushing oil up 1.7%. nat gas futures held to below the $2 mark for the first time in over a decade. finally, volatility is still in play

of course the romney campaign would like to see less of herman cain. if herman cain is successful at anything, it is for connecting with people. and he is not afraid to really fake fun with himself. that really came out to the contrary. our friend mitt romney doesn't seem to know what funny is. >> that's true, isn't it? he doesn't know who is leader of us uzbekistan is. and he let it be known on "meet the press" in 2009. >> you were talking in the last segment about his relationship with fox. remember the fox interview where he got a tough question and didn't seem to be aware of the cameras. and he said this is a little uncomfortable. i think we ought to start over as if he assumed. and he will have to do this. he cannot live inside the box during the general election. and if he's capable of doing that, shame on the american voters. and shame on the american media. >> indeed. james, romney doesn't seem to like interviews where he might be asked uncomfortable questions. he like to play the victim. is the real reason his campaign is scared about putting

herman cain. get that guy back in the race! >>> the vice president, our current vice president, joe biden, by the way, had a little fun yesterday down in florida, hanging out in the everglades on an airboat. down in miami, look, he's got the shades, the hat on backwards, the whole deal. it's an alligator infested walter, snakes in the gralgsland. he was cruising around touting the economic and ecological benefits of the everglades down by miami with democratic senator ben nelson and also democratic congressman alcy hastings. doing a little airboating. by the way, this reminded us, i don't know, he likes to get out once in a while. here taking on famous assume mow wrestler, remember this, when he went to mongolia, staring down a sumo wrestler, hanging out with camels. >>> why are you awake? you're muggy. tweets texts and e-mails are next and "morning joe" is just moments away. mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to

they always liked herman cain. i spent the day with a herman cain activist. many people won't believe until the end of their days that the media was unfair to herman cain and created a scandal out of nothing. they put their eggs in the wrong basket to use a cliche i already regret using. it was not -- this is not the worst case scenario. go back two years ago, find a lot of discussion, not so much of tea party members themselves but of people analyzing them of whether they would be so disenchantsed with the republican party that they'd break off and run their own candidate. we're pretty late in the game. i think the only people discussing this is the ron paul members of the movement libertarians who were outside joined it again, very much a part of what was happening 2010 and are a little bit distant now. they're focusing a bit on winning delegates with ron paul. they're looking, again, at fwga johnson's campaign. that's minor when you think of the sort of people who turned up to the 9/12 rally, who turned up to glenn beck's event and what michele bachmann pu

donald trump, herman cain, ted nugent. there is no controlling what these people are going to do in the next 20 minutes that will horbly embarrass and humiliate you. this may be the week where with the nomination locked up where mitt romney begins to exert discipline on a party. >> maybe mitt romney will be seriously inspired by some of the ads as ridiculous as they are, if they had 1/100th they may be dancing maybe. >> i just saw kevin walking out of here a few minutes ago. i don't think he would advise him to dance. >> i don't know what it will be. it might make him more endearing. >>> israeli defense minister says a preemptive attack goes. and "jersey shore" goes amish. >>> the lives of the amish are a [ male announcer ] this is lawn ranger -- eden prairie, minnesota. in here, the landscaping business grows with snow. to keep big winter jobs on track, at&t provided a mobile solution that lets everyone from field workers to accounting, initiate, bill, and track work in real time. you can't live under a dome in minnesota,

herman cain is in the headline. >> reporter: remember when herman cainen doampsed knew the -- herman cain endorsed newt gingrich. now he is saying he should drop out. interestingly enough, he's decided to endorse mitt romney along with all of the other people who have over the past few weeks. >> tory dunnan reporting live for us in washington. >>> rocker thed knew gent went -- knew gent went off on the obama administration. knew gent called the obama administration vial, and american hating and called the top officials criminals. ted knew gent endorsed mitt romney in march. >>> nearly a year after a 12-year-old was murdered in baltimore city, police make three arrests. >>> plus, could fast food be putting your relationship on the fast track for disaster? linda so explores the relationship. those stories and more at 6:00. here's a preview of what's ahead tonight at 6:30. >>> coming up on world fumes tonight, they are beautiful to watch but struggling to find food to survive. the home is vanishing beneath them. how americans are saving the polar bears. >>> we're down to five hours and

. >> herman cain is a breath of fresh air. [laughter] >> i am not going to reassess him as he reassesses his campaign. >> herman cain is fabulous. >> newt gingrich -- i am going to get serious on you. newt gingrich is an error lobbyist -- uber lobbyist. barney frank talk about michele bachmann. he also called out newt gingrich and said he held him responsible for the demonization of opponents that has contributed to the atmosphere we live in today. i do think he came into the house. he slashed all of the caucasus and civility. we are seeing this. this is a man who a few days ago talked about education reform in the context of firing the janitors in schools and putting the kids to work. a lot of the media called that unconventional. [laughter] let's repeal child labor laws that we fought hard for in this country. bring in dickens to chronicle it. i do think there is the cruelty amidst the reality show debates we have been subjected to. who is running this, entertainment or news? there is a cruelty when people cheer that someone

herman cain. >> yes, sir. >> sean: 999. i'm afraid that might be the price of a gallon of gasoline, soon. >> that is the obama 999 plan. $9.99 a gallon. >> sean: you just scared all of america. >> it could be capital performance that we need for energy independence. this administration has done nothing but increase the regulatory barriers as well as barriers to exploration of our resources right here in the united states. >> sean: steve forbes, good to see you. if anybody says drill, baby, drill, the president says we have been doing that. leases the ability to drill. 9% of the increases come from private lands where they haven't been able to control it. >> it is an election year and he wants you to forget that he has been blocking or hindering the development whether it is offshore and not having sensible regulations and doing it in an expedited manner, alaska, anwar, arctic national refuge. there is globs of gas there. if he could do something and come up with sensible or encouraging rules on fracing instead of dragging h

and remember now, this is herman cain talking. >> he is from florida. florida is going to be one of those key states, but more importantly, colonel allen west is a dedicated patriot. he served in the military and he's willing to serve his country some more. >> now, herman cain is not the first irrelevant republican to give mitt romney this kind of advice. >> top of my list is alan welen. i love that he has that military experience. he is a public servant, willing to serve for the right reasons. >> allen west and all the other freshman republican congressmen will not even make it on to the very longest list of republican vice presidential nominee possibilities. and as of tonight, according to online futures market, intrade, here are the top five likely names on the real short list. florida senator marco rubio, new jersey governor chris christie, virginia governor bob mcdonnell, ohio senator rob portman, and wisconsin congressman paul ryan. joining me now to try to shorten the short list is dana milbank, columnist for "the washington post." dana, let's go

when i first heard herman cain about the add, which is herman cain? he was the candidate with the extra pepperoni in his life. once the male ego has hold of a national platform, they don't want to give it up. these are herman cain's way of staying in the spotlight. >> come ob, guys. these ads are hilarious. you have catapulting rabbits. you have killer chickens. they're completely irrelevant. not one vote will be cast based on them. not one voter will change your mind. but they're darn entertaining. >> i have to agree with you liz. i laughed for an hour after that. tom, jason, liz, thanks for playing. we appreciate it. gas prices have steadily increased for most of the year. but now a new downward trend? have gas prices peaked? according to the signs, ford is having some sort of big tire event. i just want to confirm a w things with fiona. how would you describe the event? it's big. no,i mean in terms of savings how would you sum it up? big in your own words, with respect to selection, what would you say? big okay, let's talk rebates mike, they're big

you know, herman cain endorses, he had a great plan, one of the thing wise learned from herman cain, keep it simple, 9-9-9 worked. and you know, look, he's doing what a lot of people are doing, hedging their bets and they believe that romney's going to be the nominee, so, you know, it's not surprising. >> bob, you know we have a quote/unquote endorsement from john boehner this morning where he said, it's clear now that mitt romney is going to on our nominee. i think he has a set of economic policies that can put persons back to work. doesn't this point to a republican party that is still somewhat very much in disarray. >> you know why? john boehner respectfully sat on the sidelines for a long time, helped newt build the 1994 gop revolution, and john boehner's closing the door, giving a signal to his old friend, that it's over. i think the most interesting thing about newt gingrich, though, that it's not about mitt romney versus newt gingrich anymore. what is newt doing? he fancies himself a historic figure. he wants to continue on this campaign for history ex-reasons he wants to be a

>>. >> give herman cain credit. last october's republican candidate of the moment evoked hitchcock's "the birds" a terrifying movie if you've ever seen it to argue in that video that the government is back. to use his words, it's going to hack us to death. herman is right, it's the debate of the moment. for republicans government is the millstone around the neck of the economy. everything is does is bad, weighing us down, drowning us. the president has a more nuanced view. he understands that we need government in critical ways to regulate the securities market and health insurance is affordable so everybody can goat coverage. the health care debate the emotional fulcrum of what's going on in our politics right now. i want you to think about one story, not a random story, a story of mary brown. she's important because she's the one who brought the case, the litigation that has been making it all the way to the supreme court. the supreme court's going to decide it sometime in june. she said when she filed this case t

newt's pal herman cain had a busy weekend. on saturday, he spoke at a tea party rally and, well, it was funny. >> if you measure the aerodynamic parameters of the obama bee, that little fat body and those flappy wings and measure all of those deltas and put them into the equations of motion and you run those equations of motion, the computer comes back and says, the sucker can't fly. >> jimmy: what is that? is that -- let's hear a little more of that, if we could. >> there's only one reason that the bumblebee flies. the bumblebee believes he can fly. >> jimmy: he's one crazy hairstyle away from being don king. he really is. [ applause ] mr. cain, her man cain -- [ applause ] also has released a new police cat advertisement. most politicians stop running campaign ads when they've been out of the campaign for six months, but not herman cain. he wants to revamp the u.s. tax code but as they say, why bother to tell a story when you can show it? >> this is small business. this is small business under the current tax code. >> pull!

it wasn't that long ago, really. [ applause ] and herman cain, remember herman cain? he plans to endorse mitt romney which is good news for mitt. polls show obama has the woman vote but herman cain and newt gingrich can deliver the other woman vote. you bring that other woman in. that's a huge -- that was a huge -- [ applause ] >> now that santorum is out of the race, that leaves newt gingrich and ron paul out there vying for the crack pot vote. let's keep our finger s crossed. newt is. >> i guess that's it for late-night laughs. ahead in the next hour of "early start," they're the toughest charges george zimmerman could have faced. second degree murder in the trayvon martin shooting. we're live in sanford, florida, where zimmerman will appear in court today. >>> good news on gas prices. you heard me right, folks. an expert who says we may have topped out on gas prices. >> doubt it. >> we'll make him explain that. you're watching "early start."
