and i think rick perry, this move helps that. on the other hand, it doesn't look like romney wants to replay that card. it doesn't help him because right now people want somebody who's going to pull the country together and just sort of move this and implement it, not obstruct it. and republicans are starting to look like obstructionists on this, i think. jon: well, so the federal government is holding out this candy saying, here, states, we're going to pay for all of your medicaid needs until 2020, and after that we're going to pay for 90%. now, sounds great, but we all know what the budget situation is in this country. who's to say that in 2020 it doesn't become 75% or 60% or 50%? >> well, but by opting out and saying we're not playing and letting the federal government come in and set up the exchanges, rick perry's letting happen exactly what he doesn't want to have happen. he's letting the government, the federal government have more control over health care in his state. more impact on it. so what a lot of this is about the

ron paul and rick perry and the national review. >> rick perry may not have realized he was talking about his party. you have to cut rick a little bit of slack here other than that, republicans are looking at this the way normal people are. >> yeah. one of the few times that's happened. they are saying, you know come on. get on the program here. >> and of course, so the romney campaign trying to shift back. right trying to go change the subject. they send out john sununu as a spokesperson. >> that was effective. >> saying, i wish barack obama would learn to be an american? this is a replay of 2008, you know, in my book "the obama hate machine" i called it the otherin of barack obama. they try to paint him as not american, foreign, different. >> look they at least changed the topic for two hours until sununu had to apologize. he has done this with regularity though. he would pop out there over the past couple of years and make comments that were just a little bit over the line of what acceptable even in the lower standards that now dominate our political discourse and, of course, he under

it's great to have all of you with me and i want sto start with perry. this is really a strong message coming out of the romney campaign. the most coordinated response yet to the president's bain attacks, and certainly time is of the essence on this one, perry. but is it enough to change the narrative in romney's favor? >> i don't think it is. i mean, you saw on friday he did five interviews with every outlet, every major network and he didn't address the questions about his tax returns or exactly when he left bain. i mean, it's unusual you do five interviews all over the place in terms of exposure but still don't answer the core questions. i almost feel like he name a vice presidential nominee to change the subject right now. >> as perry mentioned, we have the five different interviews on friday then the sunday talkers and the advisers, the staffers, they have taken to the tv to really try to hammer back at this bain message. take a listen to this, hogan. >> he actually retired retroactively at that point, david, because he ended up not going back to th

it was perry who suggested seven months ago that romney's record at bain capital could be a fatal flaw in his presidential bid. >> there's a real difference between venture capitalism and vulture capitalism. venture capitalism we like. the fact of the matter is he's going to have to face up to this at some time or another. >> romney's campaign is working to fend off a wave of negative stories about his tenure at the financial firm. a "boston globe" article says romney was still listed as a top executive at the company years after his reported departure date back in 1999. the story reads in part, "the globe found nine s.e.c. filings submitted by four different business entities after february 1999 that describe romney as bain capital's boss. some show him with managerial control over five bain capital entities that were formed in january 2002." romney has repeatedly said he was not responsible for bain's business dealings after 1999 and shouldn't be blamed for the firm's decision to close american factories and move jobs overseas. his campaign pressed the globe for retraction and issued

texas governor john perry is asking him to. texas governor rick perry, a former republican rival says that romney should be as open as possible. meantime on the other side we've got republicans criticizing the obama campaign for what they're saying about mitt romney. john mccain calls the campaign disgraceful for targeting those tax returns and romney's time with bain. he calls it chicago-style sleazy campaigning and saying the focus should be on the $5 trillion he says president obama has added to the deficit. meantime former new hampshire governor john sununu says that he shouldn't have said that president obama needs to learn to be an american. he is a romney supporter. what he really meant is he needs to learn the american formula for business. lynn? >> all right, tracie, thanks so much. >>> to utah where a southwest sky west airlines pilot wanted in connection with a colorado murder attempted to steal an empty plane from a small airport. the man then killed himself after he couldn't get the plane off the ground. nbc's kurt

is there is place for rick perry in a romney administration? >> i think there is a place for the governor to be talking to governors like myself. a host of governors who are having very successful economys in their state, we all have good relationships with hitt, so i suspect he will have that really good back and forth with people with practical knowledge of how you keep the american economy going and you allow states to compete against each other. i suggest to you on the medicaid issue. if they want to have all across this country, people with better access and more affordable health care, block grants of the states back, not one size fits all like we're seeing out of washington dc. >> rick perry, congratulations once again. we want to remind you you can now go to cnbc.com, go to top states, and you can let us know what you think on twitter. we'll be back here from austin, texas tomorrow to look at some of the individual categories and get reaction again. texas, america's top state for business. >> thank you for that, a quick shout out to my

rick perry suggested that romney be as, quote, as conservative as you can be. as mitt romney heads to ohio today, it did not help that two supporters took campaign off the message. former governor john sununu apologized for saying this. >> the men and women all over america who have worked hard to build these businesses, their businesses, from the ground up, is how our economy became the envy of the world. it is the american way and i wish this president would learn how to be an american. >> then bloggers pounced on former senator john mccain when asked he did not choose mitt romney as a running made in '08. he told "politico" because sarah palin was a better candidate. why did we not take the other people? why didn't i? because we had a better candidate. we have chris and john with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> john, we have this long list of high profile republicans who are saying romney should release taxes and get it behind him. there are reports that people in his camp are divided about this. do you think the national review is right a

i could barely keep my mind on katy perry but i did eventually. the hair thing, that was really interesting. i have to tell you. unique style. >> thank you. you know what? she has a spinning peppermint bra and i have changing hair colors. i'm a huge fan of hers. i had to do it in tribute. love her. >> well, i was going to ask you about that next. you can tell me a little more about your interview and the film. is it just another concert movie? >> well, lucky for us, no, it's not. usually these kind of end up feeling like the music industry's way of getting just a few more dollars out of people when they're having a really hard time with that, but she actually has a lot to say and she's a pretty interesting person. so watching this documentary taught me that there's more to this woman than meets the eye and then getting to speak to her personally it cemented that even more. i started off as a fan with her cd in my car but i'm leaving like a lifetime best friend. i'm sure she is going to name her next album after me, i think. yeah. >> she'll name it
