and letterman asked him so he said they were making this beer and letterman says is that legal? and obama says you know, i don't know. fun times around the white house these days. you know what i've noticed is that with all of this flap this week about -- and we've been talking you know, nonstop about it here on the show. about mitt romney and his comment about the 47% dripping with disdain. >> debunked. >> bill: who says it was debunked? >> romney. >> bill: romney says it was. exactly. the white house hasn't had too much to say about it. they haven't had to say too much about it. >> if you're digging your own hole -- >> bill: let them keep digging. >> right. i think that's their feeling. i really do. how many democrats have you heard chipping in on this one? i haven't heard harry reid utter a peep. >> bill: harry did. >> what did he say? >> bill: he went on the floor of the senate and said -- which i think is a big question -- is mitt romney one of the 47%, one of the persons who pays zero income tax because we don't know. >> that's sweet. >> bill: other than that, you're right

last night, president obama was here in new york and sat down with david letterman where he discussed those remarks for the first time. >> well, i don't know what he was referring to. i can tell you this, um, when i won in 2008, 47% of the american people voted for john mccain, they didn't vote for me. when i said on election night was even though you didn't vote for me, i hear your voices and i'm going to work as hard as i can to be your president. and, one of the things i have learned as president is you represent the entire country and when i meet republicans as i'm traveling around the country, they are hard working family people who care deeply about this country and my expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everybody, not just for some. >> mitt romney, meanwhile, not backing down from the remarks emphasizing his belief the federal government should not take from some to give to others. >> others said you kissed half the electorate good-bye this election year. that you called them moochers. did you? >> no. i'm talking about individuals that i am not

. >> letterman starts talking about the debt. letterman says it's $10 trillion. the president says, i don't know what the number is. how can he not know it's $16 trillion? how can he be president of the united states and not know it's $16 trillion? >> if mitt romney believes the country should go to war, he should say so. >> bill: this isn't about mitt romney. >> sean, we had this conversation. look, the middle east has been burning for 2,000 years. >> bill: not like this. >> are you kidding me? beirut, beirut, beirut under reagan. >> bill: he's going to vegas. >> this is like -- look, we have u.s. assets all around the world. every president's had this kind of situation happen much worse than this one. and this president believes you go get the guy -- it's not bravado, you don't say bring it on, you don't send 200,000 troops in. >> bill: why not? there's four americans dead. >> you find them and kill them. that's what happened with osama bin laden on this watch. it's not words or rhetoric. all this is is garbage rhetoric. >> come on, joe! you're defending the in

the letterman show can wait. we are in a crisis. and look -- israel is surrounded by the middle-east. >> sean: the middle-east is beginning to burn, joe. look -- >> it's been burning for 2,000 years, my friend. >> sean: and the arab spring was supposed to fix that. we know that because the anointed one told us that -- >> first of all, democracy -- democracy. >> democracy is going to iraq, blowing the place up and happening we are going to-- >>> stop with bush! he says the arab spring was going to bring peace and stability and the muslim brotherhood -- >> george bush was with -- >> wherate outrage about the murders -- about the things -- where's the outrage! i want for rude scpriewd one thing i like, he was outraged -- >> he should be going out and he should say, bring it on. that's what he should do. bring it on. that's the kind of rhetoric -- >> you don't think -- [overlapping dialogue] >> sean: all of his outreach didn't do a damn thing! nothing! they hate us! they are always going to hate us! his kissing his backside i. you are r

and what does he really think about leno and letterman. >> letterman hates me because i've been on leno more than him. >> the new leaked video. >> plus, what emmy host jimmy kimmel is only telling me. >> was that mitt romney's idea of a risk? i think people should take that into account. >>> brad pitt's look-alike brother, doug, stepping into the spotlight and facing brad and angelina jolie's wedding questions. what only he knows. plus, his movie memorabilia collection from brad. from troy to "ocean's eleven." >>> is justin bieber embarrassed by his mom's tell-all? >> just had a really tough time.

during an appearance last night on "the letterman show. president obama said he was writing off a big chunk of the country. >>> the inspector general will release a report on the botched fast and furious gun trafficking operation some time today. the republican-led house voted in june to hold attorney general eric holder in contempt for with holding documents in the case. family members of the u.s. border control agent ryan terry killed in connection with the gun smuggling operation, they have said they won't have closure until someone is held accountable for terry's death. >>> after two decades space shuttle "endeavour" is ready to take its final voyage. the final destination is the california science center in downtown l.a. we'll have a live report coming up on that. >> we are looking forward to that. thank you, christine. >> you're welcome. >>> it is 18 minutes past the hour. i'm for the early reads, your local news making national headlines. first from "the seattle times" here. who killed me billboards and bus ads are going up all acro

here is a short bit of what president obama said in an appearance for tonight taped on david letterman. >> when i meet republicans, as i'm traveling around the country, they are hardworking family people who care deeply about this country. and my expectation is, that if you want to be president, you have to work for everybody, not just for some. >> the president unveiling an outreach to republicans tonight on david letterman. >>> and we are debuting new numbers this evening on this presidential race. our nbc news political director chuck todd in our washington bureau with the results of our newest wave in the nbc news wall street journal pole just out tonight. chuck, good evening. >> good evening, brian. well, remember what this poll is, it's our first national poll after both national conventions and both candidates had goals they wanted to accomplish. the president to try to make the case that the economy was on the right track, and he had the right policies. and mitt romney trying to improve his personal likability. so let's go to the numbers. on the head-to-head, the president has

it is british -- letterman. it's british. that's letterman. having a bit of a squirm last night on david's show. he was asked what the magna carta literally translates to in english. >> the literal translation is -- was what? you have magna -- >> again, you're testing me. >> boy, it would be good if you knew this. >> yeah, it would be. >> you know, if somebody asked me, simon, in all fairness, there's what it is. if somebody said to me, what's habeas corpus mean i? wouldn't even know what corpus christi means. >> to an american it's an obvious question to ask the british prime minister. actually britons are not actually still in the 15th century fox hunting and all the rest of it. >> learning latin, by the way. >> he's concerned about iphones and budget deficits. but you see britons as something very different, somebody unlike yourself, which is not true. >> it means great charter. >> i saw that. >> all i know is corpus christi is a town in texas. i don't know what it means. habeas corpus? jon, you're a lawyer. what does habeas corpus mean? >>

>> i thought the president handled the letterman question brilliantly. he acted like somebody who could be commander in chief, who is president, who can speak to the whole country. mitt romney wishes he could etch a sketch this fundraiser. he wish he could etch a sketch the last three weeks. eugene is right. last week he had libya. this week he has this. his campaign has become a permanent damage control machine dealing with one crisis after another. he's going to hope he can do something in the debate. i don't think he's going to suddenly morph into john f. kennedy. the only time he's been comfortable in this campaign is at that fundraiser. >> will he lose seniors? >> he will lose some. he won't lose them all. i think he will probably lose some support across the board and it will be interesting to watch the tracking polls and other polls as this kind of filters out and settles in. this certainly didn't do him any good. >> gentlemen, great to have you with us. thank you so much. >>> up next, mitt romney attacks the 47% of americans who don't pay taxes.

and letterman talked about seeing him naked and then mitt romney was on kelly ripa and they talked about how mump do you wear to bed, not much, that ire on all these shows, "the view," talking about snooki. is it now where we've reached the point that to be president one has to be funny and entertaining? >> maybe. clinton's funny. obama's funny. if you recall, george bush jr. was quite funny too. >> he was great. he went on oprah. >> he was very funny and very good thinking on his feet. >> so they're doing more like what do you and i'm thinking how are they going to stand up to vladimir putin, not how they going to stand up to whoopi goldberg. >> i know. what these presidents and presidential candidates go through is impossible to conceive. i mean you get the presidential daily briefing when you get in office and like being questioned, you said in toledo 16 days ago, you know. >> and then you have to go on leno and be funny. >> you kind of do now, yeah. i mean it's the way it is. you know, the thing about comedy is that when you give a punch line, the audience has to believe the premise

i've got beyoncÉ, jay-z, letterman, the wnba on this hand and i have bb on that hand. let me think, the world is burning, i think i -- >> sean, look. as you know, if mitt romney would pledge to stop taking $20 million checks from the super pac donors, it would make the presidential campaign a lot less fundraising intensive. >> excuse me. obama made that comment in 2008 and then he reneged on it, didn't he? he did. i'm right about that. >> after the supreme court change the the law. after the supreme court changed the law. >> it had to be somebody else's fault. >> it's not anybody's fault. it's not anybody's fault, sean. >> we have no jobs in america. do you know why? >> we have added 6 million jobs in the last two years. >> give me all your caveats, private sector, this month but not this month. >> more jobs. >> we've got fewer jobs now than when he came in. >> yeah, because he came in during a terrible recession. in the last four years he added jobs. >> he said he cut the deficit in half. did he do it? >> the deficit is not cut in half and you know why. you know why.

here's my option -- letterman, jay-z, beyonce or b.b. netanyahu. let me think -- this is a tough one... who would you pick? you are the president? >> first of all, there was no real request from b.b.'s office-- >>> yes, there was. i confirmed it with his office. there was a request -- >> well, according to the white house-- >>> the white house -- house, then, is lying. >> there has never been a challenge between the white house-- >>> when they dumped b.b. and the white house, so the president got mad and stomped -- >> all the way up to the dnc, where he himself had to reinsert jerusalem back into the democratic party -- [overlapping dialogue] >> his support for israel is tried and true. >> before letterman, it was pimp with a limp-- >>> who is that guy? >> i have no idea. >> sean: a radio host? >> i have been in radio 30 years, i don't know who it is. >> our embass's under siege. there is a voys of leadership. they smell leadership weakness and that's a clnch. >> sean: don't you think the president -- with all of this bad press and with the middle-

when you think about it, replacing david letterman at the height of his abilities, and i always said it was sort of like one of the greatest baseball players ever. ted williams departing the field. >> now you're going to tell me about replacing tv legends. >> right. but someone like ted williams leaving the field after a brilliant career and everybody going crazy and cheering and then them saying don't worry, his replacement is here. chip whitley and a guy like me rubbing out, hi, chip whitley here. don't worry about ted williams, i'm going to catch up real soon and striking out right away. you can imagine what the reaction would be. so i never in my heart had any really -- had any ill will towards people because i think i -- if i could have -- if i had not been myself and had watched conan o'brien debut after david letterman, i'd have been horrified as well. >> what you didn't know that day at harvard in 2000 was that you were going to land the holy grail of comedy, "the tonight show". >> right. >> and then you were going to have another down moment. >> oh, yeah. and in a way, you k

letterman? all in a couple days work for our very social president. here is my take. sedna no it was talk like a pirate they yesterday. i found out when i saw a picture of the president with a pirate. some kind of international joke. the president joined in. the picture may or may not be old but he joined in pirate day. i didn't know j z's nightclub featured a golden tower of champagne bottles. the president visited the nightclub and i found out. i didn't know the president weighed 180 until he joshed about it with david letterman. apparently this is how you get real with an election a few weeks away. the president campaigned in vegas and pose for the cover of people and interviews with a pimp with a limp. not sure i can get behind this. it just doesn't feel right to me when america is under attack around the world, our ambassador is murdered. at home the tale of economic misery continues. reelection is important to mr. obama but to engage in a series of that best non serious events in a time of crisis is not the way to conduct the presidency. can you imagine what the

he'll make an appearance at "the late show with david letterman." making his second trip to the program since being elected. governor romney having fun on the talk show circuit. in an interview the governor and his wife did with kelly and michael on their new show. it aired this morning. >> this is the most serious question of all. honey boo boo or snooki? >> do you know who either are? >> i'm kind of a snooki fan. >> she had a baby now. >> look how tiny she got. these lost weight and energetic. just her spark plug personality is kind of fun. >> joins me now, "washington post" columnist amy. wow, i never thought i'd hear look how tiny she's gotten. does he have "people" magazine on his plane? nonetheless with the crisis in the middle east, we're talking about this notion of 47% of voters perhaps in some ways don't matter to individuals. do these lighter moments even have a place, or do they have an impact, as they did when bill clinton was on mtv or playing the sax? are those days gone? >> it's funny. as much as we're consumed with discussion of the

through the wall street journal john mccain went on david letterman talking about how the anthrax came from saddam hussein. hussein's suppose it biological weapons program. it's i mean yeah i mean you know so the best case scenario is that they used it use it to ratchet up the fear to really get everyone on board with the iraq invasion and using that threat and they never really did come out and say that the anthrax was not the muslim terror is that they said it just kind of went under the radar robbie but now that we know that members of the bush administration were on separate and also the targeted members that voted they were opposite to the patriot act i mean what do you think the worst case scenario is now that we know these kind of damning facts. the worst case scenario is that i mean the motive. the motives there are questionable i mean why would someone who's a terrorist who wanted to you know muslim terrorists why would they want to send anthrax letters to people who are opposing the patriot act. i mean you have to wonder you know i can only speculate with the worst case scena
