| 00:00:18 | JUST FIVE YEARS AGO OUR BELOVED FATHER, DAVID BLOOM, PASSED AWAY WHILE COVERING THE WAR IN IRAQ. |
| 00:00:26 | IT WAS A TRAGIC TIME FOR OUR WHOLE FAMILY. |
| 00:00:29 | AS QUITE A SHOCK. |
| 00:00:31 | IT WAS A LONG HEALING PROCESS AND HARD TO BEAR. |
| 00:00:34 | BUT THE GAP WE HAVE FELT FROM THE LOSS OF OUR DATA BY THE WONDERFUL AND LOVING DANIEL MCNULTY. |
| 00:00:43 | HE'S NOT ONLY STOLEN THE LOVE OF MY MOM'S HEART, BROUGHT JOY AND LAUGHTER TO OUR WHOLE NEW FAMILY. |
| 00:00:51 | AS THE YEARS PROGRESSED, THE PAIN WE FELT WOULD SOON FADE. |
| 00:00:55 | BUT WITH THAT, THE MEMORIES WILL TOO. |
| 00:00:58 | THE BLOOM OF WAR HELPS US KEEP OUR MEMORIES OF OUR NEGATIVE ALLIED AND ALSO REMIND US OF THE GREAT WORK HE DID. |
| 00:01:04 | THIS AWARD IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO SHOW OUTSTANDING EFFORT AND STRENGTH IN THEIR FIELD OF JOURNALISM. |
| 00:01:19 | [APPLAUSE] >> THE WINNER OF THIS YEAR'S DAVID BLOOM AWARD GOES TO LIRE LOGAN, CHIEF FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. |
| 00:01:37 | [APPLAUSE] CBS NEWS AND PRNO CARRIERRINGCONNECT 1200 TRAPPED IRAQI SURGEON AND HIS FAMILY. |
| 00:02:21 | LIRE AND HER TEAM'S COURAGE AND DARING IS EVIDENT IN THE SOMETIMES SHOCKINGLY REALISTIC TREATMENT OF A COUNTRY IN THE WAR. |
| 00:02:29 | THE STORY SUBMITTED BY HER TEAM AT CBS OFFERED THE JUDGES A FULL RANGE OF REPORTING WITH THEIR FILING FROM BASRA AS THE BRITISH BACKING UP TO LEAVE, PACKING IT UP TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY ARE REPORTING ON A GROUP OF SO-CALLED IRAQI FREEDOM FIGHTERS, ONETIME U. |
| 00:02:47 | S. ENEMIES AND NOW FIGHTING ALONGSIDE AMERICAN FORCES AGAINST AL QAEDA. |
| 00:02:51 | THE SUBMISSION WAS CAPPED BY A MOVING STORY ABOUT WHAT EVERYDAY LIFE IN IRAQ IS REALLY LIKE IN THE 60 MINUTES STORY LIVING IN BAGHDAD. |
| 00:03:06 | [APPLAUSE] >> ACCEPTING THE AWARD ON HER BEHALF IS CHRIS, CBS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF. |
| 00:03:25 | [APPLAUSE] >> CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS. |

| 00:04:19 | >> NOW THE LEGENDARY CBS NEWS MAN SAID NEXT THE POWER WITHOUT HONOR THE MOST DANGEROUS THING IN THE WORLD IS POWER WITHOUT HUMOR. |
| 00:04:28 | SO AS WE TURN TO THE COMEDY PORTION OF THE EVENING I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT BETWEEN THE POPE'S VISIT AND TONIGHT'S DEMOCRATIC DEBATE IT'S NICE TO SEE SO MANY OF US CAME HERE TONIGHT TO HONOR ONE JOURNALISTIC TRADITION DROPPING EVERYTHING FOR A FREE MEAL. |
| 00:04:46 | [LAUGHTER] SPEAKING AT TONIGHT'S DEBATE, WHEN WE SCHEDULED THIS DINNER LAST YEAR THE THOUGHT WAS THE DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE A DRAWN-OUT PRIMARY BATTLE BUT THE REPUBLICANS WOULD BE THE ONES STILL FIGURING OUT WHO THE NOMINEE WOULD BE. |
| 00:04:59 | NOW IT TURNS OUT THERE WASN'T ANY REAL COMPETITION FOR JOHN McCAIN AT THE END OF THE DAY HE WANTED TO WRAP THINGS UP QUICKLY PRETTY EARLY ON. |
| 00:05:14 | [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE CONVERSATIONS] |
| 00:05:15 | >> I DON'T THINK YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. |
| 00:05:16 | NO, NO. |
| 00:05:23 | [APPLAUSE] THAT'S ODD. |
| 00:05:25 | I MEAN, I'M WONDERING WHY THERE IS A CARDBOARD CUTOUT ANY WAY, AS I WAS SAYING -- THAT REALLY IS YOU, GOVERNOR ROMNEY. |
| 00:05:36 | >> I GUESS I GET THE SAME KIND OF COVERAGE I USED TO GET ON CBS. |
| 00:05:45 | [APPLAUSE] ACTUALLY, MY DEPARTURE WAS FOR FAR MORE COMPLICATED REASONS THAN WHAT IS DESCRIBED AND I WANT TO REITERATE THE TOP TEN REASONS I DECIDED TO GET OUT OF THE RACE. |
| 00:05:59 | [LAUGHTER] NUMBER TEN, THERE WEREN'T AS MANY OSMAN'S AS I HAD THOUGHT. |
| 00:06:06 | [LAUGHTER] NUMBER NINE, NUMBER 9I GOT TIRED OF THE CORKSCREW LANDINGS UNDER SNIPER FIRE. |
| 00:06:21 | [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] NUMBER EIGHT, AS A LIFELONG HUNTER, I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS THE START OF THE SEASON. |
| 00:06:30 | [LAUGHTER] NUMBER SEVEN, THERE WASN'T ROOM IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR TWO CHRISTIAN LEADERS. |
| 00:06:38 | [LAUGHTER] NUMBER SIX, WORD LEAKED OUT NOBODY HAD BOTHERED TO SEARCH MY PASSPORT FILES. |
| 00:06:45 | [LAUGHTER] NUMBER FIVE, I'D RATHER GET FAT, GROW A BEARD, AND TRY FOR THE NOBEL PRIZE. |
| 00:07:03 | [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] NUMBER FOUR, I WANTED TO FINALLY TAKE OFF THE DARK SUIT AND TIE AND KICKBACK IN A LIGHT-COLORED SUIT AND TIE. |
| 00:07:14 | NUMBER THREE, ONCE MY WIFE REALIZED I COULDN'T WIN, MY FUND RAISING DRIED UP. |
| 00:07:27 | [LAUGHTER] NUMBER TWO, I TOOK A BAD FALL IN THE CAMPAIGN RALLY AND BROKE MY HAIR. |
| 00:07:33 | [LAUGHTER] AND NUMBER ONE, THERE WAS A FLAW IN THE CAMPAIGN THEORY THAT AS UTAH GOES, SO GOES THE NATION. |
| 00:07:44 | [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. |
| 00:08:05 | [APPLAUSE] [CHEERING] >> , THE STYLINGS OF MID ROMNEY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. |
| 00:08:09 | [LAUGHTER] I WAS GOING TO TELL HIM NOT TO QUIT HIS DAY JOB BUT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, I'M NOT SURE WHAT HIS DAY JOB IS. |
| 00:08:17 | [LAUGHTER] NOW IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE SOMEBODY WHO NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION, THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, CHENEY. |
| 00:09:09 | [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] [LAUGHTER] YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT HOW MANY GUYS WANT TO GO FISHING WITH ME THESE DAYS. |
| 00:09:26 | [LAUGHTER] WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, STEVE, THANKS FOR THE INTRODUCTION. |
| 00:09:31 | LYNN AND I HAVE ENJOYED OURSELVES VERY MUCH THIS EVENING. |
| 00:09:35 | WE WANT TO THANK BUT RADIO TELEVISION CORRESPONDENTS ASSOCIATION FOR INVITING US AND CONGRATULATE ALL OF THE AWARD RECIPIENTS. |
| 00:09:48 | [APPLAUSE] YOU ALL KNOW HOW TO MAKE A GUY FEEL WELCOME. |
| 00:09:52 | [LAUGHTER] OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT THE KIND TO LOOK DOWN ON A BITTER MAN WHO CLINGS TO HIS GUNS. |
| 00:10:07 | [LAUGHTER] AND I WAS JUST AS SURPRISED AS YOU WERE TO SEE GOVERNOR MITT ROMNEY AND THOUGH I ENJOYED HIS PROPS AND SLIDES, EYEBALL TO BE NEEDING ANY MYSELF. |
| 00:10:19 | I'M COUNTING AS USUAL ON THE POWER OF MY CHARM AND CHARISMA. |
| 00:10:25 | [LAUGHTER] BUT HE WAS A GREAT AND I UNDERSTAND HE'S INTERESTED IN RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT WITH SENATOR McCAIN. |
| 00:10:32 | LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE NUGGET OF ADVICE. |
| 00:10:36 | NEVER MIND THE RISE IN MAY, THE POLICY IDEAS OR ANY OF THAT STUFF. |
| 00:10:41 | JUST GET YOURSELF ON THE SEARCH COMMITTEE [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:10:50 | AS THE PRESIDENT SAID IN HIS VIDEO MESSAGE, HE'S HOSTING A DINNER IN HONOR OF THE VISIT OF POPE BENEDICT AND I MYSELF MET WITH HIS HOLINESS THIS MORNING AT THE WHITE HOUSE. |
| 00:11:03 | SO BETWEEN THAT AND THIS DINNER WITH THE MEDIA, IT'S BEEN QUITE A DAY FOR MAY. |
| 00:11:10 | [LAUGHTER] I SPENT THE MORNING WITH ONE INFALLIBLE AUTHORITY AND NOW I GET TO SPEND THE EVENING WITH 1,000 OF THEM. |
| 00:11:20 | [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] I WAS GLAD TO TALK TO THE POPE. |
| 00:11:24 | IT'S RARE I RAN INTO SOMEBODY WHO HAS HEARD MORE SECRETS THAN I HAVE. |
| 00:11:29 | [LAUGHTER] WHEN THE MOMENT WAS RIGHT, I EVEN TOOK THE POPE ASIDE AND CONFIDED TO HIM THAT I HAD BEEN THINKING A LOT OF UNKIND THOUGHTS LATELY ABOUT THE NEWS MEDIA. |
| 00:11:40 | [LAUGHTER] I WENT ON AND ON AND FINALLY SAID YOUR HOLINESS, I JUST DON'T THINK THEY LIKE ME. |
| 00:11:48 | THE POPE REPLIED SO. |
| 00:11:54 | [LAUGHTER] IT'S ALWAYS VERY EXCITING WHEN THE POPE COMES TO TOWN AND I AM MODEST ENOUGH TO REALIZE THAT ALL OF YOU WHAT RATHER SEE THE POPE STANDING HERE THAN ME. |
| 00:12:05 | BUT INSTEAD OF THE SUCCESSOR TO ST. |
| 00:12:08 | PETER YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME. |
| 00:12:13 | THE SUCCESSOR TO ST. |
| 00:12:21 | AL. [LAUGHTER] SPEAKING OF VICE PRESIDENT GORE, I'M SORRY TO RELATE HE IS A LITTLE BIT SORE AT ME, HE IS CONVINCED ON GLOBAL WARMING I JUST DON'T GET IT. |
| 00:12:31 | BUT LATELY, WITH EVERY PASSING DAY THE EVIDENCE HAS BEEN CATCHING MY ATTENTION. |
| 00:12:36 | I HAVE NO DOUBT, NONE AT ALL, THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A GLOBAL WARMING. |
| 00:12:42 | OR AS I PREFER TO CALL IT, SPURRING. |
| 00:12:55 | [LAUGHTER] AND I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE AN ALARMIST, BUT IT'S GOING TO GET A LOT WARMER BEFORE IT GETS COOLER. |
| 00:13:06 | [APPLAUSE] BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM DOING MY PART TO MEET THE CRISIS BY REDUCING MY CARBON FOOTPRINT BIG-TIME. |
| 00:13:17 | EVERY TIME I AM ROSTER TO THE HOSPITAL I INSIST ON A HYBRID AMBULANCE. |
| 00:13:32 | [APPLAUSE] [LAUGHTER] YOU HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF TONIGHT THAT I AM THE FUNNIEST GUY HE KNOWS. |
| 00:13:37 | I WILL TAKE THAT COMPLEMENT. |
| 00:13:40 | BUT I WILL TRY TO FORGET IT COMES FROM THE SAME FELLOW WHO THINKS THAT 9:00 IS LATE. |
| 00:13:48 | WHO BELIEVES GINGER RELL IS A NIGHTCAP. |
| 00:13:53 | AND WHO THINKS PARADISE IS 40 MILES WEST OF MARSEILLE GO TO THE COW. |
| 00:13:59 | IT COULD ALSO BE THAT BY SUNDAY THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO SOFTEN UP MY IMAGE. |
| 00:14:04 | AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, ALL THE TIME WE HAVE SPENT TOGETHER HE PERSISTENT THINKING I COME ACROSS AS A COLD FORBIDDING EVEN FRIGHTENING MAN. |
| 00:14:14 | BUT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT ALONE. |
| 00:14:16 | EVEN MY WIFE SEEMS TO THINK MY IMAGE NEEDS POLISHING. |
| 00:14:21 | AT BREAKFAST TODAY I ASKED WHEN IT DEEP DOWN IT BUGS HER THAT PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN TO CALLING ME BART BADER. |
| 00:14:31 | SHE SAID NOT AT ALL. |
| 00:14:32 | IT HUMANIZES YOU. |
| 00:14:41 | [LAUGHTER] ALL THE SAME I AM VERY GLAD TO BE HERE TONIGHT IN THE PRESIDENT'S USUAL PLACE, AND IT'S GOOD TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH SO MANY DIGNITARIES. |
| 00:14:50 | INCLUDING MAJORITY LEADER HOYER, MINORITY LEADER MCCONNELL, CHAIRMAN MR. |
| 00:14:56 | DINGELL, MINORITY WHIP KYL, AND THE GREAT TV PERSONALITY AND BLOCKER, MO ROCA. |
| 00:15:06 | [APPLAUSE] IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, HIS BLOG IS TITLED MOLE ROCA 180 ONLY HALF AS TEDIOUS AS THE REGULAR NEWS. |
| 00:15:16 | AMONG HIS OTHER CREDITS, HE USED TO HOST A TV SHOW CALLED THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. |
| 00:15:22 | I'M SURE I HAVE SEEN THAT PROGRAM ONLY I BELIEVE IT'S NOW CALLED COUNTDOWN WITH KEEFE OVER [APPLAUSE] |
| 00:15:38 | KEITH IS NOT HERE TONIGHT IS TO SAVE FOR MY COMPANY BUT WE HAVE MANY BIG NAMES FROM THE BROADCAST MEDIA. |
| 00:15:46 | AND YOU COULD USE A LITTLE BIT OF CHEER BECAUSE THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES IN YOUR INDUSTRY. |
| 00:15:51 | IN THIS AGE OF YOUTUBE AND BLOBS THAT THREATEN TO OVERSHADOW THE OLD MEDIA. |
| 00:15:57 | AT TIMES YOU MUST FEEL LIKE YOU'RE AT THE CENTER OF THE FENCE BUT NOBODY IS REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO YOU. |
| 00:16:03 | YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORLD BETTER THAN ANYBODY. |
| 00:16:06 | BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR IT. |
| 00:16:08 | NOW YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE VICE PRESIDENT. |
| 00:16:14 | [LAUGHTER] BUT I HAVE HAD FRUSTRATIONS OF MY OWN. |
| 00:16:18 | I AM OLD NEWS IN THIS ELECTION, BUT I WANT A PIECE OF THE ACTION. |
| 00:16:22 | I'M FIRED UP FOR MY OWN CANDIDATE BUT THE FEELING IS AND ALWAYS RETURNED. |
| 00:16:27 | I FEEL KIND OF LIKE BILL CLINTON. |
| 00:16:37 | [LAUGHTER] BUT LIKE YOU I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE CAMPAIGN WITH INTEREST AND I REALLY WANT JOHN McCAIN TO WIN. |
| 00:16:44 | I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT JOHN EVEN THOUGH ONE OF THE DEMOCRATS RUNNING IS A RELATIVE OF MINE. |
| 00:16:52 | [LAUGHTER] THE SENATOR OBAMA TO YOU, BUT HE IS COUSIN BARACK OBAMA TO ME. |
| 00:17:01 | [LAUGHTER] AMAZINGLY ENOUGH IT TURNS OUT BARACK IS ALSO RELATED TO BRAD PITT. |
| 00:17:07 | THAT MEANS CHENEY AND BRAD PITT ARE RELATED. |
| 00:17:13 | [LAUGHTER] WHICH EXPLAINS WHAT ANGELINA SEES ENOUGH GUY. |
| 00:17:20 | [LAUGHTER] IN CASE YOU ARE LOOKING AND IN ANY CASE YOU ARE LOOKING AT SOMEBODY WHO IS JUST A COUPLE DEGREES OF SEPARATION FROM THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE. |
| 00:17:33 | [LAUGHTER] BARACK OBAMA AND I HAVE HAD OUR DISAGREEMENTS AND FRANKLY I DO WISH HE WOULD KEEP THESE THINGS IN THE FAMILY. |
| 00:17:45 | [LAUGHTER] FOR EXAMPLE, I KEEP TELLING HIM IT'S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT A CHOICE FOR VICE PRESIDENT. |
| 00:17:52 | HE SAYS HE WILL FIND A RUNNING MATE JUST AS SOON AS HE'S GOT HIMSELF A NEW PASTOR. |
| 00:18:02 | [LAUGHTER] I LIKE THAT ONE. |
| 00:18:07 | LAUGHTER I GUESS MY COUSIN BROCK HAS SAT THROUGH SOME REFITTING SERMONS OVER THE YEAR. |
| 00:18:14 | IF HE GETS ELECTED, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS THOSE WASHINGTON PRAYER BREAKFASTS. |
| 00:18:26 | [LAUGHTER] OF COURSE THERE ARE TWO DEMOCRATS RUNNING AND THEY ARE STILL HOPELESSLY DIVIDED OVER WHO IS THE REAL HERE LIGHTER AND YOU AND THE PRESS NEED TO GO EASY ON CENTER CLINTON ON THE WHOLE BUSINESS ABOUT RUNNING AND DUCKING FROM GUNFIRE IN BOSNIA. |
| 00:18:43 | SHE MADE AN HONEST MISTAKE. |
| 00:18:45 | SHE CONFUSED THE BOSNIA TRIP WITH THE TIME I TOOK HER HUNTING. |
| 00:18:58 | [APPLAUSE] [LAUGHTER] DID YOU SEE THAT FOOTAGE OF HILLARY CLINTON KNOCKING BACK THAT SHOT WITH A BEER CHASER? |
| 00:19:05 | PEOPLE SAY SHE DIDN'T LIKE AN OLD PRO. |
| 00:19:09 | I HADN'T REALIZED SHE HAD BEEN IN THE SENATE THAT LONG. |
| 00:19:15 | [LAUGHTER] LOOKS LIKE SHE REPLACED MARK PENN WITH JOHNNIE WALKER. |
| 00:19:24 | [LAUGHTER] APPARENTLY IT WAS PRETTY STRONG WHISKEY AND THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FEW MORE WHEN THE CAMERAS STOPPED ROLLING. |
| 00:19:32 | WHEN THE 3 A. |
| 00:19:33 | M. PHONE CALL CAME AND IT WENT RIGHT TO VOICE MAIL. |
| 00:19:45 | [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] MAYBE I'M SYMPATHETIC TO HILLARY, BECAUSE I'VE HAD MY OWN TROUBLES WITH THE MEDIA. |
| 00:19:50 | THE BIG BUZZ LAST WEEK WAS ABOUT THE PICTURE OF ME FISHING AND THE REFLECTION OF MY SUNGLASSES IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD REAL AND SOMETHING A LOT MORE INTERESTING THAN TROUT. |
| 00:20:03 | HE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY. |
| 00:20:06 | [LAUGHTER] I GET ASKED A LOT ABOUT THAT PHONO. |
| 00:20:10 | THE MOST COMMON QUESTION IS WHAT LAWARE WAS I USING. |
| 00:20:17 | ANYWAY, THAT'S THE LAST TIME I WILL GO WITH AN OUTFITTER CALLED THE EMPEROR'S CLUB VIP. |
| 00:20:31 | [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] WITH THAT, I THINK IT IS TIME FOR LOWER ROCA AND LESS JANNEY. |
| 00:20:38 | [APPLAUSE] BUT BEFORE I TURN OVER TO HIM I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I LIKE AND ADMIRE THE BROADCAST MEDIA MORE THAN I USUALLY LET ON. |
| 00:20:46 | I WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU DO OFTEN UNDER EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. |
| 00:20:53 | I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE HERE IN WASHINGTON BECAUSE YOU ARE AMONG THE FINEST IN YOUR PROFESSION. |
| 00:21:00 | YOU DO HARD WORK AND YOU DO IT WELL. |
| 00:21:02 | I WANT TO TELL YOU ALL OF THESE THINGS BUT I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO DO IT. |
| 00:21:16 | [APPLAUSE] BUT SINCE IT IS OUR LAST TIME TOGETHER AT THIS DINNER, I THINK IT'S ENOUGH TO LEAVE YOU WITH WORDS I ONCE ADDRESSED TO SENATOR PAT LEAHY. |
| 00:21:33 | [LAUGHTER] GO STRAIGHT HOME, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:22:00 | [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] >> VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. |
| 00:22:04 | THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:22:05 | NOW IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO INTRODUCE THE ENTERTAINMENT FOR THIS EVENING. |
| 00:22:12 | MO ROCCA IS AKIN TO A BIDDER ON SUNDAY MORNING AND THE CAMPAIGN FOR GILLETTE OUT. |
| 00:22:17 | A FORMER CORRESPONDENT FOR THE DAILY SHOW HE'S A REGULAR PANELIST ON NPR MSNBC COUNT DOWN WITH KEITH OVER MEN AND A JUDGE ON IRAN CHEF. |
| 00:22:30 | HIS BLOG, MO ROCCA 180. |
| 00:22:33 | COM COVERS ANYTHING THAT'S ON HIS MIND. |
| 00:22:35 | LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING MR. |
| 00:22:40 | MO ROCCA. |
| 00:22:46 | [APPLAUSE] >> I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT PROPS I GUESS. |
| 00:22:49 | THANK YOU, STEVE AND THANK YOU, MR. |
| 00:22:53 | VICE PRESIDENT. IT'S QUITE AN HONOR TO FOLLOW YOU. |
| 00:22:56 | LISTENING TO YOU, I FEEL LIKE CHRIS MATTHEWS LISTENING TO BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:23:01 | BUT A THRILL GOES UP MY LEG AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY SITTING NEXT TO YOU. |
| 00:23:06 | SO SOME HOUSEKEEPING FIRST JUST ONE NOTE HANDED TO ME, ELIOT SPITZER, YOUR HOOKER IS DOUBLE PARKED OUTSIDE. |
| 00:23:15 | IT'S CAUSING TROUBLE BECAUSE ALL OF THE OTHER GUESTS HOOKERS CAN'T GET IN OR OUT RIGHT NOW. |
| 00:23:20 | [LAUGHTER] I KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE JUST ENDED A DEBATE AND ONLY A FEW MOMENTS AGO, AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF IMAGES SAID TO ME FROM THE DATE AND I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THEM WITH YOU. |
| 00:23:33 | HERE IS AN IMAGE OF BARACK OBAMA BEING QUESTIONED ABOUT HIS CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT ABOUT PENNSYLVANIANS. |
| 00:23:42 | AND HERE IS A SHOT OF HILLARY CLINTON'S COOL HEADED RESPONSE. |
| 00:23:47 | THERE SHE IS. |
| 00:23:49 | [LAUGHTER] SHE IS REALLY, REALLY CLINGING TO THAT VERY HARD RIGHT THERE. |
| 00:23:53 | OKAY. |
| 00:23:54 | ALL RIGHT AND IF YOU'RE KEEPING SCORE AT HOME, HILLARY CLINTON DURING THE THE DATE MENTIONED GOT FOUR TIMES, HUNTING WITH HER DAD THREE TIMES AND REV. |
| 00:24:04 | JEREMIAH RIGHT SIX TIMES. |
| 00:24:06 | BARACK OBAMA MENTIONED BEING A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER SIX TIMES AND A RUBLE A SEVEN TIMES, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING. |
| 00:24:13 | BUT ON THE GOOD SIDE HE ONLY MENTIONED CANON THERE TWICE, SO THAT'S NOT SO BAD. |
| 00:24:18 | IT REALLY IS AN HONOR FOR ME TO BE HERE AT THE RADIO AND TV CORRESPONDENTS DINNER KNOWN AS THE ONE EVEN SAN JULY A COULDN'T BOTHER TO ATTEND. |
| 00:24:28 | I KNOW THAT THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER IN ABOUT TEN DAYS GETS MOST OF THE GLORY. |
| 00:24:33 | I THINK AT THIS ONE IS SORT OF THE THE KEY TO THAT DINNER PARIS HILTON, THIS IS JAMIE WAN TO THE DINNER'S READY. |
| 00:24:43 | AT DINNER IS LIKE MSNBC. |
| 00:24:51 | [LAUGHTER] I HAVE TO TELL YOU AS A CHILD I HAD A RICH FANTASY LIFE. |
| 00:24:56 | I DREAMED OF BEING ON THE CABLE NEWS SHOW. |
| 00:24:59 | I WOULD SURROUND MYSELF WITH IMAGINARY POUNDS AND WE HAVE OUR OWN IMAGINARY NETWORK AND OF COURSE WE HAVE IMAGINARY AUDIENCE AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING ON MSNBC. |

| 00:25:35 | AND SHE IS ORIGINALLY FROM COLOMBIA, LATIN AMERICA. |
| 00:25:39 | SHE WOULD BE HERE TONIGHT, BUT SHE WAS TERRIFIED LOU DOBBS WOULD SHOW UP AND ACCUSE HER OF BREAKING OUR BORDERS. |
| 00:25:49 | [APPLAUSE] SO, INSTEAD SHE WENT OUT DRINKING WITH MARK PENN. |
| 00:25:52 | THAT'S WHERE SHE IS RIGHT NOW. |
| 00:25:55 | THIS ORGANIZATION, AND I'M KIDDING, IT IS OF COURSE VERY CUTTING EDGE. |
| 00:25:59 | TV AND RADIO, HOW ELSE WOULD WE GET OUR NEWS IF NOT THROUGH THOSE NEWFANGLED TECHNOLOGIES'? |
| 00:26:07 | RADIO AND TELEVISION. |

| 00:29:23 | >> I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT U. |

| 00:30:48 | I KNEW THE PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY HAD GONE ON TOO LONG WHEN I SAW HILLARY CLINTON TELLING A GROUP OF POLISH VOTERS ABOUT HER PLAN TO OUTLAW BUTTONS. |
| 00:31:00 | [LAUGHTER] HERE IS A PICTURE, HERE IS BARACK OBAMA BOEING. |
| 00:31:05 | HE EMBARRASSED HIMSELF BY GOING AT 37 AND HAVE TO SAY THAT WAS REALLY TERRIBLE, IT REALLY SHOW THAT HE IS NOT A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. |
| 00:31:13 | I THINK A LOT OF BLUE-COLLAR VOTERS LIKE HIM MORE IF HE HAD BROKEN HUNDRED WOBBLING IN HIS SUIT PANTS AND NECKTIE. |
| 00:31:20 | I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE MADE HIM SEEM MORE -- BARBARA, HE PULLS MUCH BETTER IN CAUCUS STATES. |
| 00:31:29 | THE REPUBLICANS, OF COURSE, OUR HAPPY I GUESS, ARE DUE TO SEE THE DEMOCRATS TEARING EACH OTHER APART. |
| 00:31:36 | TEARING EACH OTHER APART, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THIS HAPPY CENTS A SPONSOR SCANDAL ACTUALLY BROKE AND THEY WERE THRILLED ABOUT THIS BUT THIS CAN OPEN IT TO SEE DEMOCRATS FINALLY HAVING THEIR OWN SEX SCANDAL. |
| 00:31:48 | AND NOT ONLY THAT IT WAS A SEX SCANDAL WITH WOMEN. |
| 00:31:55 | [LAUGHTER] ELIOT SPITZER AND TO SPEND MONEY TO SPEND TIME WITH A LADY. |
| 00:31:59 | HOW GATE. |
| 00:32:00 | IS THAT CORRECT THAT IS REALLY LAME. |
| 00:32:05 | [LAUGHTER] OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ARE A LOT OF REPORTERS OUT THERE, YOU'RE VERY SERIOUS AND SERIOUS MINES ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH THINGS LIKE BARACK OBAMA'S BOEING AND THE SPITZER SCANDAL, SIRIUS MINES ALISOS ONCE I'M HEARING TALKING IS THE EXIT STRATEGY. |
| 00:32:21 | BY WHICH I MEAN LOCATE THE CORRECT LEAVE THE CBS EVENING NEWS AT THE INAUGURATION OR BEFORE? |
| 00:32:28 | GENERAL PETRAEUS THINGS TO DO A PHASED WITHDRAWAL, AMBASSADOR CARPER THINKS SHE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL CBS NEWS IS ABLE TO DEFEND ITSELF. |
| 00:32:37 | [LAUGHTER] THINGS ARE BAD FOR CBS NEWS. |
| 00:32:40 | YOU KNOW THINGS ARE REALLY BAD WHEN CBS NEWS WAS INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE CHARITIES IN IDLE KAZAKH. |
| 00:32:50 | [LAUGHTER] PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THAT CBS NEWS WILL REALLY TAKE OFF ONCE A PAIR CADY WITH CONNIE CHUNG. |
| 00:32:57 | I THINK THAT'S THE ANSWER. |
| 00:32:59 | I SHOULD GIVE CREDIT TO MY JOE CARTER, BOB SCHIEFFER, OR ARE YOU? |
| 00:33:03 | HE WROTE THAT JOKE. |
| 00:33:04 | STAND UP AND TAKE ABOUT, BOB SCHIEFFER. |
| 00:33:10 | IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT KATIE'S PLANS ARE. |
| 00:33:12 | I'LL TELL YOU THIS, THE RUMOR SHE IS WAITING FOR LARRY KING TO RETIRE IS NONSENSE. |
| 00:33:17 | TWO SIMPLY WAITING FOR LARRY KING TO WANDER OFF. |
| 00:33:26 | [LAUGHTER] AGAIN. |
| 00:33:27 | BRIAN WILLIAMS IS HERE. |
| 00:33:29 | WHERE ARE YOU? |
| 00:33:32 | BRIAN WILLIAMS HAS DONE A FINE JOB AND NIGHTLY NEWS. |
| 00:33:35 | HE IS LOCKED IN A FIERCE STRUGGLE, A DESPERATE STRUGGLE WITH KEITH ALDERMAN IN A CONTEST TO SEE WHO COULD BE MORE EDWARD R. |
| 00:33:44 | MURROW. |
| 00:33:45 | I THINK YOU'RE BOTH DOING PRETTY WELL. |
| 00:33:48 | CHARLIE GIBSON IS A DEAR. |
| 00:33:49 | HE JUST FINISHED A COURSE MODERN THE DEBATE AND I'M SURE IT WAS VERY AVUNCULAR. |
| 00:33:54 | I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY ABOUT CHARLIE GIBSON, I THINK HE IS A BUG KILLER. |
| 00:34:00 | WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE FROM CNN? |
| 00:34:03 | ARE YOU SCATTERED ABOUT? |
| 00:34:05 | THE BEST POLITICAL TEAM ON TELEVISION. |
| 00:34:08 | WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE BE THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN ACCOUNTING. |
| 00:34:18 | [LAUGHTER] OR THE SEXIEST JUSTICE ON THE SUPREME COURT. |
| 00:34:21 | IT IS REALLY A GREAT HONOR. |
| 00:34:24 | CNN IT REALLY DESERVES ALLOW BANKS. |
| 00:34:26 | WITH AN ECONOMY THAT IS TEETERING ON THE BRINK ALL THESE OTHERWISE OUT OF WORK AMERICANS ARE PLANNED AS PUNDITS ON CNN, IT'S AMAZING. |
| 00:34:34 | IT'S LIKE THE WPA ALL OVER AGAIN. |
| 00:34:37 | IT'S LIKE MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL FOR DAVID GERGEN AND BILL BENNETT. |
| 00:34:42 | IT'S AN AMAZING PROGRAM. |
| 00:34:46 | THE MAGIC OF OBSESSIVE ELECTION NIGHT CENTER ON CNN. |
| 00:34:48 | IT'S A REALLY WEIRD SET UP FOR YOU GOT THE PUNDITS SEATED IN TWO ROWS ON STOOLS AND IT GOT LAPTOPS IN FRONT OF THEM AND NOT USING THE LAPTOPS, BILL BENNETT IS USING IT TO HIT SOME OFFSHORE GAMBLING WEBSITE I GUESS. |
| 00:35:04 | [LAUGHTER] BUT THEY ARE ON THESE TOOLS ON THIS LAPTOPS AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN AIRPORT RENTAL CAR CENTER. |
| 00:35:12 | ON THE FIRST ROW YOU HAVE BENNETT, BERGEN, GLORIA PORTIA, AND JEFF TOOBIN, AND THEY AREN'T A TEAM. |
| 00:35:21 | AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE SECOND ROW WITH THE GUY FROM THE RNC AND THE GUY FROM THE DNC AND THE TICK TO AUDITION TO BE ON THE VIEW AND THEY ARE THE BE TEAM AND AS IN BUDGET. |
| 00:35:31 | AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY, ANOTHER ROAD EVEN FARTHER BACK AND YOU NEVER SEE THIS ROAD. |
| 00:35:37 | THEY ARE THE TEAM AS AN ENTERPRISE AND THESE PEOPLE ARE SO FAR BACK THAT THEY ARE ON MSNBC I GUESS. |
| 00:35:47 | [LAUGHTER] REAL WELL, OF COURSE, OVER A BOX AND HAVE A LOT OF FOX PEOPLE HERE RIGHT? |
| 00:35:54 | BOX, I MAY. IS A REVOLVING DOOR OF BLONDES. |
| 00:35:56 | THERE ARE SOME OF THE BLOND WOMEN AT FOX, LAURIE DUPAGE HOPKINS, MARTHA KALIN, MANION KELLY, OBVIOUSLY APPARENTLY SOME OF ALI TALKED THE SWEDISH BIKINI TEAM HOW TO READ A TELEPROMPTER. |
| 00:36:11 | IT IS LIKE THE VON TRAPP FAMILY. |
| 00:36:13 | IT IS THEIR FAVORITE THINGS FOR TAX CUTS AND SCHOOL VOUCHERS. |
| 00:36:18 | SOME OBSERVERS SAY THAT ROGER AILES WHO IS HERE TONIGHT IS A HUGE HEFNER OF FOX NEWS. |
| 00:36:26 | ONLY HE KNOWS WHO WILL BE AMAZED AND A TOUR OF THE MONTH I THINK OF HIM MORE AS A CHARISMATIC LEADER IMAGINE HIM A LIVING IN A COMPOUND WITH ALL THIS BLANC AND FOR WOMEN. |
| 00:36:39 | AND WHEN FEDERAL AUTHORITIES FINALLY RAID THE COMPOUND NO ONE WILL COVER IT AS BREATHLESSLY S FOX. |
| 00:36:46 | [LAUGHTER] JIM LEHRER IS HERE, IS THAT RIGHT? |
| 00:36:53 | JIM LEHRER IS HERE THANKS TO AT&T, CHEVRON, THE CHUBB GROUP AND IN YOUR PSYCHE. |
| 00:37:03 | [LAUGHTER] AS I SAID, A LOT OF THIS IS GOING ON POLITICALLY RIGHT NOW. |
| 00:37:08 | IT WOULD CLINTON IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP HER CANDIDACY ALIVE AND I FEEL A CERTAIN SYMPATHY FOR HER. |
| 00:37:14 | TO BE STUCK IN A DOOMED ENTERPRISE WITH EVERYONE I GUESS YOU, PEOPLE TELL YOU IF YOU'RE PULLING THE COUNTRY APART, BUT YOU'VE GOT NO HOPE OF WINNING AND YOU SHOULD WITHDRAW. |
| 00:37:23 | I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE. |
| 00:37:28 | CAN YOU, MR. VICE PRESIDENT? |
| 00:37:30 | TO BE TOLD THAT YOU'RE WASTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE PULLED THE PLUG A LONG TIME AGO, BUT YOU CAN'T ADMIT HE MISCALCULATED, NO? |
| 00:37:43 | OKAY. |
| 00:37:44 | I'M SORRY IF THIS IS SHEER TORTURE FOR YOU, SURE ENHANCE INTERROGATION. |
| 00:37:58 | [LAUGHTER] WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT FLY FISHING. |
| 00:38:01 | SINCE THIS RACE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR GOODYEAR NOW I THOUGHT I WOULD DO A LITTLE VIGIL RECAP OF WHERE WE HAVE BEEN IN SINCE THE DEMOCRATIC RACE SEEMS TO HAVE ALL THE HEAT RIGHT NOW I THOUGHT I WOULD FOCUS ON THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. |
| 00:38:13 | ABOUT A YEAR AGO I GUESS WE STARTED WITH EIGHT CONTENDERS. |
| 00:38:17 | WE WILL GO THROUGH THEM VERY QUICKLY. |
| 00:38:19 | WE HAD DENNIS KUCINICH KUCINICH MADE A COURAGEOUS EFFORT TO WHICH FELL APART WHEN HE ADMITTED HE BELIEVES IN UFOS. |
| 00:38:27 | HE ENDED UP SAVING THE NEPTUNE CAUCUSES ON FEBRUARY 31st AND THAT WAS IT. |
| 00:38:38 | [LAUGHTER] JOE BIDEN IS THERE. |
| 00:38:42 | I THINK THAT JOE BIDEN SHOULD HAVE STUCK IT. |
| 00:38:45 | HE WAS PROJECTED TO WIN EVERY STATE SMALLER THAN HIS HOME STATE. |
| 00:38:52 | [LAUGHTER] THIS IS CHRIS DODD AND A BRITON CHRIS DODD AND I THINK MADE A VALIANT EFFORT. |
| 00:38:59 | I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO HIM BUT OBVIOUSLY TELEVISION IS A VISUAL MEDIA AND THE IMAGE REALLY MATTERS A LOT. |
| 00:39:05 | I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS HE HAD IS HE IS A GOOD LOOKING GUY BUT HE HAS A TO ENORMOUS HEAD. |
| 00:39:10 | HE HAS A REALLY BIG HEAD AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MUCH FOR YEARS TO TAKE. |
| 00:39:15 | HERE IS A SHOT OF HIM STANDING NEXT TO DENNIS KUCINICH AND THE DEBATE. |
| 00:39:22 | NEVER GO. |
| 00:39:25 | [LAUGHTER] IT'S REALLY AMAZING. |
| 00:39:27 | JOHN EDWARDS GIVE IT A GOOD SHOT. |
| 00:39:29 | HERE IS JOHN EDWARDS WHO RAN AS VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN 2004 THE BIDDING VICE PRESIDENT TINNY THEIR BROOD THIS IS THE MOMENT RIGHT BEFORE WAS PRESIDENT DETAINEE OPENED HIS MA AND SWALLOWED HIM WHOLE. |
| 00:39:42 | [LAUGHTER] IT WAS AMAZING. |
| 00:39:43 | I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE HEARD MARLIN PERKINS NEAR IT. |
| 00:39:48 | IT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY. |
| 00:39:49 | DON EDWARDS RAN A COURSE WITH JOHN KERRY HERE AND I THINK A LOT OF ANALYSTS AGREE THAT THE ISSUE THAT UNDID THEM IN PIVOTAL SWING STATES WAS THE ISSUE OF GAY MARRIAGE BECAUSE IT WAS A BALLOT INITIATIVE ON A LOT OF THE SWING STATE BALLOTS. |
| 00:40:06 | AND I WOULD CONCUR, I WOULD SAY IT WAS REALLY A MARRIAGE THAT THE DEMAND. |
| 00:40:12 | LOOK, THAT IS MY OPINION. |
| 00:40:13 | I THINK IT WAS A MARRIAGE IT WAS A MARRIAGE I THINK THAT THE DEMAND. |
| 00:40:24 | [LAUGHTER] I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT STARTED AND WHERE IT IS GOING. |
| 00:40:31 | SENATOR KERRY, I WISH I COULD QUIT THE YEAR. |
| 00:40:36 | [LAUGHTER] AND THOSE WERE SORT OF, I GUESS THOSE OR THE SORT OF ALSO-RAN'S BEEN MOVING ON TO THE HEAVYWEIGHTS NOW, OF COURSE, THE MOST IMPORTANT WOMAN IN DEMOCRATIC POLITICS. |
| 00:40:49 | THERE SHE IS, OPRAH WINFREY. |
| 00:40:51 | TO RELEASE ONE INTO ACTION LAST FALL, WHEN ON HER TELEVISION SHOW AND ANNOUNCE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS WHICH INCLUDED A OF THE BOOTS, JOSH SCRIVEN HOLIDAY CD, BARACK OBAMA ENDED A PENNY PRESS. |
| 00:41:03 | AND FROM THERE BARACK SEEM TWO REALLY BE SEPARATE OF COURSE, IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN SMOOTH SAILING THE REV. |
| 00:41:10 | A TEAR MY RIGHT CREATED SOME PROBLEMS FOR HIM. |
| 00:41:14 | WHEN HIS INFLAMMATORY SERMONS AND IT UP ON YOUTUBE, PEOPLE ARE STILL SORE BUT YESTERDAY WAS A PULL 15th. |
| 00:41:21 | WHAT WAS KIND OF A GOOD DAY FOR OBAMA BECAUSE AT LEAST ON THAT DAY IT WAS JUST REVEREND RICING GODDAMN AMERICA. |
| 00:41:30 | TAX DAY. |
| 00:41:34 | FINALLY THERE IS HILLARY CLINTON. |
| 00:41:37 | IT MIGHT BE FUNNY ANALYSTS WERE SAYING THAT A LAWYER CLINTON'S BIGGEST CHALLENGE WOULD BE PROVING TO VOTERS THAT A WOMAN COULD BE TOUGH ENOUGH TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:41:47 | THAT'S KIND OF FUNNY NOW I THINK THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE ISSUE. |
| 00:41:51 | HERE IS HILLARY CLINTON ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE WITH A TENANT WHO HAS A HEARING AID AND YET HE STILL IS ABOUT TWO HAUL OFF AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM. |
| 00:42:03 | [LAUGHTER] HER BIGGEST LIABILITY IT TURNS OUT, IN FACT, HAS BEEN HER HUSBAND. |
| 00:42:09 | NOW EVERYBODY IS PSYCHOANALYZING BILL CLINTON ASKING WHY HE HAS TRIED TO UNDERMINE HER. |
| 00:42:14 | I THINK HE JUST IS AFRAID OF LOSING HER TO THE WHITE HOUSE. |
| 00:42:17 | I THINK HE WANTS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER. |
| 00:42:21 | I'M KIDDING OF COURSE, IT'S ABSURD. |
| 00:42:26 | [LAUGHTER] WHOEVER COMES OUT ON TOP THERE WILL TALENT SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN. |
| 00:42:35 | HE IS A SURVIVOR. |
| 00:42:36 | HE HAS SET FOR 100 YEARS OF CAMPAIGNING IF THAT'S A BUT IT TAKES. |
| 00:42:44 | PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HIS AGE AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IS FAIR. |
| 00:42:48 | ALTHOUGH I WILL TELL YOU THIS, HE WILL PICK UP ANY PHONE AND CALL AT 3:00 A. |
| 00:42:52 | M. BECAUSE THE PHONE IS SUCH A NOVELTY TO HIM. |
| 00:42:56 | MR. BILL IS TALKING ADVICE IS WHAT HE CALLS IT. |
| 00:43:00 | NOW IT'S EASY TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT HIS AGE AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARILY FAIR BUT WE SHOULD MAKE JOKES ABOUT IS HIS BLINDINGLY WHITE PALLOR. |
| 00:43:09 | I THINK HE MAY BE TOO WIDE TO BE REPUBLICAN. |
| 00:43:12 | I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STRATEGY IS. |
| 00:43:14 | I THINK IT IS READY TO APPEAL TO REAGAN DEMOCRATS AND PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT ANDERSON COOPER IS TOO ETHNIC. |
| 00:43:22 | [LAUGHTER] ABOUT A YEAR AGO OF COURSE JOHN MCCAIN'S CANDIDACY SEEMED DEAD IN THE WATER AND LUCKY FOR HIM THAT WATER WAS A SEA OF LOONEY AND UNELECTABLE CANDIDATES AND TO ME THAT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, GOVERNOR ROMNEY'S AND GOVERNOR HUCKABEE. |
| 00:43:37 | IS GOVERNOR HUCKABEE HERE? |
| 00:43:41 | LET'S PRETEND HE IS. |
| 00:43:43 | HE DOESN'T REMEMBER BY THE WAY THAT I INTERVIEWED HIM ABOUT HIS ASTONISHING WEIGHT-LOSS AND IT REALLY IS REMARKABLE THAT GOVERNOR HUCKABEE LOSS 110 POUNDS IN LESS THAN A YEAR SO HAD HE BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BOTH A BIG WINNER AND THE BIGGEST LOSER. |
| 00:44:00 | [LAUGHTER] FOR NBC PEOPLE. |
| 00:44:02 | I THINK THE ONLY PERSON WHO CANNOT LOSE WEIGHT FASTER THAN GOVERNOR HUCKABEE WOULD BE HANDY IF HE DOES IS CALLED SCRIVEN EID OF THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. |
| 00:44:13 | AND USE ALL MY JOKE ABOUT THE SEARCH COMMITTEE. |
| 00:44:15 | US GOING TO SAY HUCKABEE AND RONNIE SHOULD GET ON THE SEARCH COMMITTEE BUT THAT IS A RISK I TAKE GOING SECOND. |
| 00:44:21 | BEFORE I GO BECAUSE THIS IS OFF THE RECORD OF ASSUMING A ONE TO LEVEL WITH ALL THE REPORTERS OUT THERE, LET'S JUST BE REAL HERE FOR A MOMENT. |

| 00:44:50 | THIS IS OBAMA DOES SCRANTON. |
| 00:44:52 | IT IS REALLY JUST A SPEECH CODE THAT'S IT AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING MONEY JUST TO WATCH THIS. |
| 00:44:59 | HERE IS A BARACK SPEECH ON RACE. |
| 00:45:01 | 45 LONG MINUTES OF NUANCE. |
