as you saw i was the guest show on "the late show with david letterman." you'll see the interview was off the cuff as they come on late night. here was my conversation about the time in africa with the peace corps. >> i figured i was teaching democracy and capitalism while jake is over in latin america doing the opposite. i felt romantic about it. i hitchhiked through africa like this all alone as a white guy. and i thought it was an experience of a lifetime. everybody who's been in the peace corps say it's the greatest experience of their life. speaking zulu for years. >> do you still speak it? >> yeah, i can still do a little. about halfway through my two years in a bar, i ask fake my way. i got enough of this. it was a tough language. >> and you never know when you're going to have to go into the zulu these days. >> it always comes in handy. very long night, maybe. >> the zulu joking aside, we got to health care. here was that exchange. >> i'm sick of talking about obama care. it's made me physically sick to talk about health care. what happened? what w

but david letterman says he's not sure who he'll support. >> bill clinton said he thought it was time for a woman to become president of the united states. we have his entire statement regarding being time for a president to be a woman here in the united states. here is the whole statement. it's fascinating. watch this. >> i hope we have a woman president in my lifetime and i think it would be a good thing for the world as well as for america. as far as possible candidates goes, i suggest jessica alba, scarlett johansson, beyonce, kate upton, shakira or my wife. in no particular order. a message from -- >> can't argue with the president. now, finally ron burgundy visited conan last night to promote his new book. and there were more than a few revelations including one that really turned some heads. >> it says in the book that you slept with bruce lee. >> i did. >> i slept with bruce lee? >> i did. it wasn't a homosexual thing. the height of being manly. nothing against homosexuals. but it was just two men and it was fast and furious. much the way he fights. he's like two wolverines go

i'm sure you all have your own but here's my best attempt at david letterman. number three, if we wanted tarp to be popular, we shouldn't have made it a four-letter word. number two goes to barney frank. things would have been a lot worse without me. and number one has to go to larry summers. anyone who speaks with complete confidence about things is a complete fool. so there have been no shortage of people speaking their minds today. hank, i wanted to start with you. what did you hear that made your blood boil? or what would you like to add to? >> right. because you know, my blood doesn't boil. that happened, you know, three or four years ago and five years ago. but the one thing i'd like to add to were a couple comments made about capital that were related. larry summers saying it was obvious the banks were undercapitalized, they should have raised more capital or the regulators should have forced them to raise more capital, and then people saying there should have been tougher compensation restrictions on the banks going along with t.a.r.p. because those two

david letterman handled it differently. anyone who's seen miley cyrus' bizarre feline inspired performance at the american music awards will get the joke. >> we got a big deal, nuclear deal with iran. they say it's some kind of an agreement. they will give up their enrichment program, but something's not right at the white house. did you see the president? i think it's the wear and tear of the office. president obama is announcing the big nuclear agreement with iran, something is not right. take a look at this. then we'll talk about it. >> diplomacy opened up a new path. the future in which we can verify that iron's nuclear program -- >> see, he's got a giant cat there. >> finally it's the time of year the white house used to make a life of death decision. choosing which turkey will receive an official presidential pardon. while the sermon itself goes back to harry truman's presidency, george h.w. bush was the first to pardon one. this year the white house are allowing voters which will get the special privilege in an onlin

so i would like to contribute a few examples of the adventures before us and unlike david letterman, i'm not going to try to put them in any kind of order because each one is crucial. and anyway, they're all just reminders for people in this room. one, women's issues aren't separate from economic issues or vice versa. paying women equally for comparable work done by men would be the biggest economic stimulus this country would possibly have. the institute for women's policy research tells us that paying women of all races equally to white men would put $200 billion more into the economy every year and would be way more effective than propping up banks and wall street because this money would get spent, not put into swiss bank accounts. it would create jobs and help the poorest kids who are those who depend on a mother's income. but do we hear economic stimulus and equal pay in the same sentence? no. i don't think so. and after we do that, we also need to value caregiving work, caregiving work, which is a third of the productive work in this nation at replacement value and make that s

it was so legendary, it was comedy gold for david letterman. >> you have your tool belt on? an electric sander, manicure kit. you are ready. >> the performance enhancing cheaters. and those widely thought to have used drugs but deny it including sammy sosa and barry bonds. >> this record is not tainted at all, at all, period. you can say whatever you want. >> reporter: if cheating is trying, it doesn't always work. jason kidd was fined $50,000 for spilling the drink and his team still lost the game. mike tomlin and the steelers, they also lost. cnn,dallas. >>> now we take a look at headlines after this short commercial break. ...as though he had never left. the end. lovely read susan. but isn't it time to turn the page on your cup of joe? gevalia, or a cup of johan, is like losing yourself in a great book. may i read something? yes, please. of course. a rich, never bitter taste cup after cup. net weight 340 grams.

reporter josh letterman is here with the very latest. nice to see you, josh. what happened at the meeting? do we have any information coming out of the meeting? >> we have a little bit of information. the president spoke briefly while reporters were allowed in the room. it was interesting he didn't actually mention this new fix at all. instead he talked about wanting to make sure that he worked with the insurance companies to make sure americans have more information about what's available, what their options are we did get word after the meeting from the white house about a little bit more detail about what they talked about and we do know that one of the major topics was this fix how are they going to work it out so that people who already lost their insurance might be able to get it reinstated. obviously a lot of concerns that the insurance agency has about how is this going to work. >> when the executives walked out, did they talk to the press? the white house has obviously spoken, how about the executives, the other side of the table were, they talking? >

but as david letterman revealed friday, there was a reason for the sudden dash in the chamber. >> then something happened during the council meeting yesterday and people were saying what was that. suddenly he started running through the council chambers. well, now we have a better understanding of what happened yesterday up in toronto, canada. we have it on videotape here. i want you to watch this. >> attention, ladies and gentlemen, complimentary crack is now being served in the lobby. >> next up, realtime's bill maher marked last week's anniversary of president kennedy's assassination by comparing jfk to most conservatives' favorite ronald reagan. here's how he weighed in. >> historians will argue forever about whether kennedy and reagan were good presidents and never settle it. but can we on this day at least agree that kennedy was cooler? i mean, sorry, but our liberal icon was a smart, sexy war hero who said he wanted to go to the moon. yours was an old fudy duddy that wanted to rock denim. everything jfk wore is still cool today. look at him. he looks like a j. crew model. when h

as you can see david letterman is having a little too much fun with the latest political news. here's how he handled the charges of plagiarism against senator rand paul last night. >> you folks know rand paul, kentucky senator rand paul is accused of plagiarism. he just was taking stuff from other sources. well, today, he issued this statement. this is from rand paul's office, senator rand paul. let's look at that. >> in the face of charges leveled against him, rand paul wishes to say i am not a plajerrist. further more, i think it's going to be a long, long, time until touchdown brings me round to find i'm not the man they think i am at home. oh, no, no, no. i'm a rocket man. rand paul, rocket man. >> the rocket man. well, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but who knew paul was a elton john fan? >>> owen hill hopes to challenge in the midterms next year. he's wasted no times to show off his true colors. here he was in his attempt as birther humor at a denver county republican breakfast. >> i was flying back from kenya. we spent about two weeks in the largest

i used to watch you on letterman back in the early ages. >> and you heard me say certain things. >> absolutely. >> but i want to tell you what has changed. what has changed is the questions really have not changed. the vocabulary has changed. nobody says, she's with child. the say she's pregnant. the speak much more openly about erection and orgasm. >> do you think it's changed for the good? >> absolutely. so that part has changed. but what's has changed, the women have heard people like me -- i'm not the only one -- say that a woman has to take the responsibility for her sexual satisfaction, even the best lover, i don't know one of you, even the best lover can't just guess what she needs. >> you can look at andrew for this one. >> so that has changed because there are less women who don't have orgasms. it's late at night. we can talk about this. i can talk about this. so there have been things that have changed. the other thing that we need in this country, we have hit masters and johnson, kinsey. we now need a really serious research study in terms of how to teach sex education. so woe need

bud selig should have faced the music and confronted the person that he accuses, rather than do it on letterman, on national television, pronouncing the verdict and not telling everyone that 11 random tests during the time period where alex rodriguez is accused of using peds, 11est its, negative. selig doesn't say that. he doesn't show up to confront to answer that, and instead he allows $125,000 in cash as if he's a character in boardwalk empire. that's why he doesn't want to show up, because he doesn't want to answer those questions. >> joe, let me bring you in to this. you've been covering this a long time, and the fact that he did storm out leaves a lot of questions, but how is that being interpreted, and is that superseding any or all of what lanny davis is saying? >> i have to agree with lanny in the sense certainly bud selig and major league baseball, no saints in this process. alex rodriguez, the last couple of years, always proclaimed innocence. we don't have a smoking gun, don't have a positive drug test. all negative. here's a guy who said he's fighting for his life, fighting for his
