jack kimball, let me begin with you to -- with donald trump's visit to new hampshire. what impact will it have on the other republicans in this field? >> it's hard to tell. it was an interesting visit. he certainly draws a crowd but what we will see in new hampshire, and we do a good job of it, we tend to do a good job getting the candidates. he will have to get out in front. we have a broad field and a good feel than donald trump is going to find these going to be successful in new hampshire, he will have to return many times and do the retail politicking. >> that is strong in terms of organization in terms of on the ground in iowa. has that had an impact? >> whether talking to the county committees, the chamber of commerce or the rotary clubs, there's an interest in mr. trump. but we do have a very wide open field and i was just like new hampshire in that it requires retail, hand-to-hand campaigning. whether it is mr. trump for some of the other potential candidates, the real test will be are they going to be in our coffee shops and community centers, talking to farm

>> reporter: they hate the idea this campaign could be about donald trump through the summer. this is a critical time for the republican candidates to begin to make a name for themselves. as long as everyone is talking about donald trump instead of the other candidates who are trying to make a name for themselves, that's time that the republicans feel like they're not going to be able to get back. >> rick klein in washington, thanks so much. >>> we're going to turn now to the headline that crossed from libya while we were on the air last night, that a nato air strike killed one of moammar ga daf fitch's son and three of his grandchildren. there was a violent reaction in libya's capital today. but the question remains tonight, is his son really dead? miguel marquez is in libya again tonight. >> reporter: libya's government says this is proof positive nato is hunting colonel moammar gadhafi. >> this was a direct operation to assassinate the leader of this country. >> reporter: the claim, gadhafi's youngest son, saif, three of his grandchildren, were killed. but gadhafi and his w

we'll ask donald trump. fred, she's not going to comment on those things. >> i'll be listening to his comments. >> quickly, maybe you were joking with me yesterday about the royal wedding, i said i didn't watch, it was a girl thing. >> you were rolling the eyes and making faces, he was not into it. >> this is just for you. listen to seth myers from last night. >> it is fitting this happened on the same weekend as the royal wedding, because as i watched the festivities i kept thinking how wonderful it is to live in a country where people don't wear hats like that. >> oh, but some of the hats were fab! >> thank you, seth. he said it all. >> there were some hits and misses. >> gosh, come on. >> you didn't like any of the hats? >> no, i don't. i just don't. >> you don't like weddings, period. we have been down this road before. >> i don't believe in royalty. everybody is equal. we are all equal and created the same. i shouldn't have to bow or curtsy to anyone. come on, get over it, i'm sorry. >> my goodst, goodn

and again donald trump was in the room. the president spent, quite frankly, a surprising amount of time talking to donald trump about donald trump. you saw a couple shots there, the donald didn't look too pleased with some of the jokes but the president talking directly to him, said that "now that this issue is over with donald trump can focus on more important issues that matter including how we faked the moon landing, what really happened in roswell and where are biggie and tupac." it wasn't all fun and games. at the end, he took a moment and touched on a serious topic close to the hearts of journalists, many of them of course in that room. listen to this. >> and on last months we've seen journalists threatened, arrested, beaten, attacked, and in some cases even killed, simply for doing their best to bring us the story, to give people a voice, and to hold leaders accountable, and through it all, we've seen daring men and women risk their lives for the simple idea that no one should be silenced, and everyone deserves to kn

the main target of the evening, donald trump. >> about mr. trump, he certainly would bring some change to the white house. see what we got up there. see what we got up there. >> good morning, america. i'm bianna golodryga in new york. >>> and i'm dan harris in tuscaloosa, alabama. good morning, bianna. good morning, everybody. we're here covering the aftermath of the deadliest tornado outbreak since the great depression. and this morning, look at this. we've got a tale of two churches. one church completely leveled. all that's left is a concrete slab. the other church, still standing, unscathed, despite the fact that every structure nearby destroyed. we're going to talk to both pastors coming up, but there's a lot of other news this morning, and bianna has that from new york. >>> that's right. we'll return to that in just a moment. >>> also this morning in an elaborate ceremony that just finished moments ago, pope john paul ii was elevated to one of the holiest levels from the catholic church. he's now just one step away from officially becom

we've seen donald trump saying maybe his college documents aren't exactly right. i think there is something behind this. that a lost people aren't talking about and the president hinted about with the "lion king" stuff and saying michele bachmann, maybe she was born in canada. part of the whole birther movement, to find a way, is he really american? can this black guy really be american? >> i don't think it's racist. washington has become a theater and lost the point it should be about government. and one of the reasons is that the fed has enabled rug r washington to run massive deficits, year after year after year. and issue all of these bonds and get away with it. so, therefore, since there are not worried, since they don't fear the consequence of what they're doink, they areal willing to engage in this kind of, you know, rank theater, when, so to speak, rome is burning. and one of these day, we're going to have a rude awakening and i believe it's coming son. >> all this happened in times of deep economic anxiety. paranoid politics can thrive and dom goi demagog

president obama and donald trump. >> donald trump is here tonight. >> in the same room. what happened is quite comical. i'll show you how it all played out in 90 seconds. ordinary rubs don't always work on my arthritis. try capzasin-hp. it penetrates deep to block pain signals for hours of relief. capzasin-hp. take the pain out of arthritis. >>> okay. most would believe that inside the beltway washington is a very serious place. but every once in a while people who run things there stop to poke fun at themselves a little bit. so it happened last night at the annual white house correspondents association dinner. comedian seth meyers of "saturday night live" hosted it. popular targets, of course, the president. you know, he's the man of the hour. oh, and then there was donald trump. >> and then, of course, there's donl trump. donald trump has been saying that he'll run for president as a republican which is surprising since i just assumed he was running as a joke. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> my fellow americans -- [ cheers and applause ] >> the state of hawaii released

donald trump in new hampshire today did poll number one. till he challenged president obama's birth, trump has lost 69% of his support in one poll. tea party republicans will keep the 2012 focus on deep spending cuts. >> so we can preserve medicare in the long run. >> reporter: democrats want tax hikes and an end to big oil's $21 billion in tax breaks. >> you don't need the subsidy, and it ought to go to reducing the deficit. >> reporter: president obama's polls rose on the death of osama bin laden, but his approval on economic issues is just 37%. >> so as long as the economy is weak, barack obama has got a fight on his hands. >> he's back in candidate mode. '08 style. >> yes, we can. thank you, very much, everybody. god bless you. >> reporter: the incumbent president raising money last night in texas. >> members of congress, including california senator and chair of the senate armed services committee, dianne feinstein, making their way to cia headquarters to view the photos of a dead osama bin laden. at the same time analysts are poring o
