will.i.am
Anita
Dunn
Kathleen
Parker
Chuck Todd
Gregory:
OMG at the White House
Correspondents
Dinner Obama went after Fox
Obama:
Fox, you will miss me when
I'm
gone – it will be harder to convince
people
Hillary was born in Kenya
Gregory:
Obama tipped his hand for 2016!
Todd:
die hard Biden supporters
were pissed last night!!
Parker: they'll both get over it
Todd: ha
Gregory:
Obama mocked Joe Biden!
Parker:
he's easy to mock
Todd:
although he had a good
skit
with Julia Louis Dreyfuss
will.i.am:
we live in a twitter society
– it's
a sad sad ADD world
Gregory:
Obama cleverly made
fun
of his own foibles
Chaffetz:
even I have to admit
Obama
is very funny
Gregory:
is the race for 2016 over?
Dunn:
no one gets the nomination
handed
to them – although Hillary is close
Gregory:
holy crap the NBA
banned
Don Sterling for life!
Gregory:
Kevin what happens next?
Johnson:
the players spoke with
one
strong voice and Commissioner
Silver
did the right thing
Gregory:
impressive – what's next?
Johnson:
we'd like to see a
unanimous
vote to strip Sterling
of his ownership
Gregory:
do you expect a legal fight?
Johnson:
maybe but he should accept
the
punishment and spend his
life
proving he's not a racist
Gregory:
he's going to
need
more time than that
Johnson: good point
Gregory:
some players say they
should
refuse to play until Sterling is out
Silver:
the players had a long list of demands
and
Silver exceeded all those expectations
in
72 hours – that's pretty damn good
Gregory:
but should Sterling be out immediately?
Johnson:
he will have to sell the team
– just be patient
Gregory:
did you experience
racism in the NBA?
Johnson:
sports can be a force
for good – look at Jackie Robinson
Gregory:
but are other owners racist?
Johnson:
when I was with the Phoenix Suns
the
state rescinded the MLK holiday –
I
mean who disses Martin like that??
Gregory:
I dunno
Johnson:
but the team owner stepped up
Gregory:
can Sterling be redeemed?
Johnson:
he should apologize,
accept
the sanctions and prove
he's
not a racist
Gregory:
but the release of his
private
conversation is a bit sleazy
Johnson:
good point but the racist
cat
is out of the bad
Gregory:
should the Redskins
team name be changed?
Johnson:
sure – the NBA acted swiftly
and
decisively proving Roger Goddell
is
an even bigger weasel than we thought
Gregory:
how can California stop jobs from going to Texas?
Johnson:
fewer regulations
Gregory:
is Jerry Brown doing enough?
Johnson:
we can always do more
[
breaks ]
Gregory:
so it turns out Oklahoma can't
even
kill a guy without fucking it up
Obama:
we have to ask ourselves
difficult
questions about how we as
nation
can more effectively kill people
Gregory:
welcome Governor Perry
Perry:
hi David – do you
like my hipster glasses?
Gregory:
Rick you have 273 people
waiting
to be executed – is this
botched
execution a problem?
Perry:
the death penalty is great
and
we do it very well in Texas
Gregory:
was the Oklahoma n
on-execution
inhumane?
Perry:
it was botched – that's bad enough
Gregory:
you agree that even a very
bad
guy should not be killed this way
Perry:
right – the state should tazer and
strap
people down and kill them humanely
Gregory:
since Oklahoma screwed it up
should
we take a pause on the death penalty?
Perry:
Obama always looks for
a
one-sized fits all solution on everything
Gregory:
what about the Obama
economic
recovery?
Perry:
Obama should create jobs!
Gregory:
he would say he is doing that
Perry:
it's simple – cut taxes, eliminate
regulations,
stop lawsuits and build schools
Gregory:
I see
Perry:
also Obamacare caused the recession
Gregory:
your state has a high
percentage
of poor people
Perry:
so does California
Gregory:
Pawlenty says the
minimum
wage should be raised
Perry:
how about a maximum wage?
Gregory:
I'd like that
Perry:
most people at MSNBC started
at
the bottom and worked their way
Gregory:
like Luke Russert
Perry:
Texas is creating jobs!
Gregory:
impressive
Perry:
we're creating wealth
Gregory:
are you going to run in
2016
after a botched effort in 2012?
Perry:
I agree – I screwed up in 2012
Gregory:
what went wrong
Perry:
the point is we have to make America competitive
Gregory:
how can we get a Republican in the White House?
Perry:
I want to get women in jobs
Gregory:
I see
Perry:
our best plan is to make
the
rest of America look more
like
Florida and Louisiana
Gregory:
is there room for Rick Perry
and
Ted Cruz and a Bush
Perry:
everything is bigger in Texas!
Gregory:
awesome
[

Gregory:
I have just been informed
we
are going to spend the six months
talking
about Benghazi again
Audience:
yay
Gregory:
please bash Obama for me
Chaffetz:
the video did not cause the attack!
Gregory:
but that's not what they said
Chaffetz:
but the video!
Gregory:
they tried Obama look good
Dunn:
it's not a smoking gun
– it's a water pistol
Gregory:
good line Anita
Dunn:
Republicans are conspiracy nuts
Parker:
the White House discussed
Benghazi
talking points – oh my god
Gregory:
the alleged scandal is that
the
White House didn't want to
admit
terrorism exists
Todd:
or that four people died or it
was
a secret CIA outpost – it's a bit
confusing
what the scandal is supposed to be
Gregory:
right
Todd:
so supposedly the White House
knew
it was a terror attack and
decided to
lie about it except for
the next day and
also two days
later called it a terrorist attack
Gregory:
that's a pretty bad cover up
Chaffetz:
the White House lied about
whether
it was a terror attack!
Gregory:
not really
Chaffetz:
the Taliban are in the State Department!
Parker:
what??
Chaffetz:
yes!
Parker:
the White House waited a
few
hours to call it a terror attack
to
fix the 2012 election!
Dunn:
oh for god's sake
Gregory:
will this hurt Hillary Clinton in 2016?
Dunn:
no
Chaffetz:
Hillary Clinton caused
an
attack on an American consulate
and
four people died!
Gregory:
people don't want
America
involved overseas!
will.i.am:
I was in Brazil and India and
they
have technology but people in
my
neighborhoods don't go to Harvard
– people
in India go to Harvard
Gregory:
well put will I am
Will.i.am:
also we have many
black
people in prison
Parker:
it turns out people in other
countries
are actual human beings –
but
they still need to be saved by
unemployed
teens from America
Todd:
it's all about economics
Gregory:
even Republicans are wary
of
getting involved in war overseas now
that
Obama is President
Chaffetz:
Obama is weak and has no
credibility
– if only he started more wars
there
would be more peace
Gregory:
you're a genius
Chaffetz:
also Obama caused
the
recession in 2007
will.i.am:
why not keep all the
jobs
in america?! I don't get it at all!
Chaffetz:
we need science but
we need the arts too
Gregory:
how enlightened of you
Chaffetz:
we just need to abolish
the
federal Department of Education
and
Utah can have the best
schools in the world!
will.i.am:
so why don't you just do it?
Gregory:
millennials approve of Obama
by
53% to 40% but there is significant
disapproval
of Obama
Todd:
they really hate the Republicans
which
is make or break for the Democrats
Gregory:
right!
Todd:
but I must point out that
Obama
is still popular among young people
Gregory:
no he isn't!
Todd:
your own poll said he was
Gregory:
but there is great disappointment
– they
clearly hate Obama don't they will.i.am?
will.i.am:
no they don't Fluffy
Chaffetz:
the reason millennials hate Obama
is
because he caused the recession in 2007
will.i.am:
why can't young
Americans
make electronics?
Chaffetz:
the EPA is killing jobs!
will.i.am:
really?
Chaffetz:
after decades of mocking
the
ACLU and illegal wiretapping
under
George W. Bush Republicans
can
seize the issue of privacy!
Dunn:
this whole conversations is idiotic
Gregory:
but it's fun!
[
break ]
Gregory:
so panel how was the
White
House Correspondents dinner?
Parker:
the President's timing is
impeccable
of course and Joel
McHale
at least took chances
Todd:
he pushed the envelope but
people
in Washington need permission to laugh
Gregory:
is the Dinner corruption in action?
will.i.am:
I'm used to the Grammys
which
is like the White House Correspondents
Dinner
but has fewer celebrities
and
is even more ridiculous
Gregory:
well said will.i.am
Gregory:
and that's another
episode
of Meet The Press
