cnn all right welcome back to our special live coverage of the white house correspondents dinner. and i can almost guarantee that this next story will be on the joke list tonight. some people not so sure it's funny. one of donald trump's possible running mate contenders made this some people would say, bizarre admission that has a lot of people angry. >> okay here is the backstory. >> south dakota governor kristi noem released a new book. the guardian got its hands on a copy and the outlet is flagging a section in which she describes killing her dog named cricket so the easy way to explain what happened here, if you haven't read it, is to read it out loud to you. >> so we have the main part of the article and we're just going to read it. okay, so listen it. all right. >> so it begins here. cricket was a wire hair pointer about 14 months old she says adding that the dog, a female, had a

aggressive personality and needed to be trained to be used for hunting pheasant. >> she includes her story about the ill cricket. she says to illustrate her willingness in politics, as well as in south dakota life to do anything, quote, difficult, messy, and ugly end quote it's simply needs to be done by taking cricket on a pheasant khan with older dogs. noem says she hoped to calm the young dog down. it began to teach her how to behave. >> i'm or unfortunately, cricket ruined the hunt. she said going quote, out of her mind with excitement, chasing all the birds and having the time of her life. >> no. describes calling cricket then use it an electronic collar to attempt to bring her under control. nothing worked. then on the way home after the hunt as noem stop to talk to a local family, cricket escaped gnomes truck and attacked the family's chickens. >> so quote, grabbing one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one byte, then dropping it to attack another

cricket. the untrainable dog noem writes, behaved like a trained assassin when noem finally grabbed cricket, she says the dog quote, whipped around to bite me. then and as the chickens owner wept, noem repeatedly apologize, wrote the shope wrote the shot family a check, quote for the price they asked and help them dispose of the carcasses, littering the scene of the crime through it all noem says cricket was the picture of pure joy i hated that dog. noem writes, adding that cricket had proved herself, quote, on dangerous to anyone. she came in contact with and less than worthless as a hunting dog. so at that moment, noem says, i realized i had to put her down. >> noem, who also represented a state in congress for eight years there's got her gun then lead cricket to a gravel pit. it was not a pleasant job. she writes, but it had to be done and after it was over, i realized another unpleasant job

needed to be done. incredibly, gnomes tail of slaughter is not finished. her family, she writes, also owned a male go that was nasty and mean because he had not been castrated naturally. furthermore, that's one knows the goat smell disgusting, musky, rancid, and loved to chase gnomes children, knocking them down and ruining their clothes noem decided to kill the unnamed goat, the same way she had just killed cricket, the dog. but those she dragged him to a gravel pit, the goat jumped as she shot and therefore survived the wound noem says she went back to her truck, retrieved another shell than hari back to the gravel pit and put him down at that point, noem writes, she realized a construction crew had watched her killed both animals. >> the startled workers swiftly got back to work. >> she writes only for a school bus to arrive and drop-off gnomes, children kennedy looked around confused.

>> noem writes of her daughter who asked, hey, where's cricket? this is not a joke. if you are thinking this is not true noem has now defended the scenes in the statement that she made in her own book, saying she loves animals, but tough decisions happen all the time on a farm. in fact, she says they recently put down three horses i don't know how to bring the panel back after that, but i'm going to do it now. we've got se cup van lengthen, van jones, scott jennings, and our carry champion. >> all standing by i journalistically, i know that i need to we can't kill a dog or a goat like that. >> it's insane let your comment it's not it's not old yellow. >> that's for sure listen to things. >> i hunt over dogs. it's a thing they don't have to be put down if they're not great at hunting or 1,000 other things you can do with them before you have to kill it for really no good reason to this

is a thing that some women politicians do you remember joni ernst talking about castrating pigs when she was coming into the senate to talk about like rural life, life on the farm makes them seem a little tough. maybe it's not a thing any of us need as voters, we don't need to hear about it. save that trauma for your therapist, miran. i can't i can't tell what you're thinking. >> i see a look on your face and i can't tell what's going on. >> well, i'm i'm a dog owner. i had a dog who recently passed header for 18 years, so i'm just mapped the humanity aspect of it i don't know. i have never lived on a farm and i believe it or not, i think there are people somewhere in middle america wherever they live that can understand what she said. i don't know who they are. i can't quite understand that and i don't know why it needs to be documented, but there's this thing where people want to your point, some sort of credibility. i don't know what she felt like that would make her look like or feel like or if people were

going to say that this is what i want someone who knows is no nonsense. it's really disgusting and i think also traumatizing. and she writes at the dog, behaved like a trained assassin. i sit who's says like didn't you feel that is a job to go after your monday we have to be smarter about this lady snapped but they do this on an animal rampage, killing spree. >> and it was all across the areas of zoology she didn't killed three horses. >> a go and a dog, like there's this is troubling in front of big her daughter, are 14. >> where's what did god that's like a stephen king novel. what always balls the mega. yeah having that visceral reaction to some describing this. >> so there's what she did and people can take that for what it is, judge it as they want. and then there's the decision

to write about it, write about it, but frankly to brag about it and brag about it because you think you're going to get something out of it if first launch your screen, he's breathing a sigh of relief tonight. the present he was the worst dog owner in america we still don't know what happened. >> the commander, by the way, we have no idea how kristi noem is the worst. so congratulations, joe biden, you've gone to jump in and say that his dogs are attacking people in the white house. i knew numerous senior there's no bad dog, so only bad owners? yeah. >> governor deauville has i mean, no one has a told in the dakota, she may have needed to coat. i don't know. >> my god. this is a terrible pr problem, but worse there are two other sort of technical terms. >> it's psychopath, nobody shoots a puppy dog. life is, i have a puppy right now. >> the way you communicate two dogs where you call them by their full name instead of there instead of their first name. >> so whenever my bulldog

elvis, like when he jumps on the kitchen table, you just gotta, if i say elvis hey dog eaten the third, then he then he will jump down. i never have contemplated shooting him off of the kitchen table while you can you can send them to the pound. you really i mean, that's hard. training. you can train them that simple. >> okay. so man, sorry. so van jones and scott, anybody at the table, but advance she's still in the running for vp, especially after this look lyndon johnson picked up a beagle by the ear? >> yes. yeah. and sun was out of the presidential race are a number of reasons vietnam was one of them, but abusing dogs has a pretty poor track record of advancing political careers. i think she's out right? mitt romney yes really talked about how on family road trip they put a dog on the roof in a cage and drill it got sick and it hurt him in the kidney he really wasn't thing where people that that's a different plant that was ridiculous.

>> you remember because i was there. you were all there our when democrats made mitt romney a monster, among other things, he was an animal killer and i was with women women, he was sexist so self-induce nobody knows the story but i thought that communicating this to the electorate, that's what help her yeah. >> so what what what if it does okay. is there not a staffing or consultant anywhere within 100 miles of this government? it's like hey, i know, i know you love that story, right? don't tell hello, but maybe i'll put it in the book that is there an editor they stopped doing commercials for dental implants and other weird stuff. she's got a weird one. >> we should note that someone did complain and is hoping that she gets charged with animal cruelty. so there isn't the complaint thereafter reading this because people were so disturbed seeing the story and then the very last thing just hearing that her daughter was like, where's cricket that

hurt me? >> i wonder if she's trying to get out in front of the story somehow beach thought her daughter would to the press for those construction. >> are that gives workers we're going to talk yeah. >> yeah. nothing else is done which donald trump loves this. i would not put cast him, but i don't know even donald trump, he has basic political instinct. >> i think people are starting to pop and i thought honestly, once you read it, who said, oh, this makes sense? every line with more horror likely understand after you've murdered the dog, why would you talk about the fact that your child talking about like, you just got worse and worse right? >> everyone? >> but because i calm down johnson. >> all right. no. i just because we've done it where we're going to take a break i you know, we're probably done with cricket for now. >> well, she was we will hear

one that college has is going to give tonight it's the most training i think you can get for that, but there's never enough training for anything to stand in front of those people and deliver your set it is so stressful. john. >> why? >> well, first of all, because i said so second because there's so many people out there that are watching you closely. >> and the washington see how the president is laughing at you. when i did it it was the clinton administration and they both went off to africa. i don't know if it's official business or not, but i think it's because they knew i was going to be delivering that set and they knew i'd be roasting them and you know how cutthroat i can be so i remember i had the flu at the time and i was like, all choked up your nasal stuff and i went out there and

at a roche's back here, scale of the destruction. >> welcome to cnn special live coverage of the white house correspondents dinner hi from the nation's capital your host john verbit and sara sidner good evening. >> we are getting close to the roast from the nation's capital. we're just moments from now, president biden, f and l. comedian colin jost we'll roast the media and probably each other and washington as a whole. yeah. yeah. everyone everyone, they could get their hands on and we're going to bring it all to you live all the speeches, all the jokes, all the glamour, and obviously this is an election year, so it all has a deeper meaning and probably a few targets beyond just the obvious, we are here, i have to say and i've anchored a few of these, a few of these. she can't remember. i think ladies, that you started with calvin coolidge. who had a fantastic rows. that's why they call them silent cow i have to say this is the best panel, the

best group of people that i've ever had in studio with us. and i mean that i'm actually that's that's 100% serious. you guys all feed rod. your, a game scott jennings, sayyed ingos, cupp van late than and carry champion. and of course, sarah signer, john berman here. we're thrilled that you have to work with when we work together okay so scott jennings, you've got some intel from inside the white house correspondents dinner. this is a dinner full of reporters and hollywood celebrity. so you might think that there are no registered republicans in there, but there is one chris lacivita, the campaign manager for donald trump, is in the room and i have an image he's handing out a card tonight and it says on the front, anywhere anytime any place, president trump, and then it has another quote, i'm happy to debate him president biden on the back of the card, it says, let's set it up so the trump campaign is in the room tonight. all right. and show on a flag and they are really pushing hard on this idea that they want an, a

debate. with joe biden. you might remember the campaign has asked for the debates to be more numerous and to be earlier in the cycle, which i actually agree with because i think october debates are useless. i think the auto duhem as early as possible when people are still forming opinions about the campaign. >> this is what i was saying. so earlier that trump is going to lean into, i'm ready, you're not let's go now. >> i'm ready anywhere, anytime any place because he knows biden probably wants to wait to prepare. he's also president in right now. and there's a lot going on and traditionally, as you said, the debates don't have until september, october. he's going to wait, but trump is calling his bluff biden was put the whole school on notice. >> so now everybody is going to be waiting at 3:00 i don't mean that they want to see it now. so at this point, whether it's later or sooner, he has got to stand there and they exchange energy were present in trump risky for him to do it. but i think he asked do now maybe risk for them. >> i don't think biden should do it first of all. >> oh, first of all donald

trump has a policy of not debating republicans. so i think biden should just say, you don't. republican's watch. they were poking donald trump didn't do any debates in his own party. he just let the it gets fight but he's got a country to run. the last time they debated or second last time, trump showed up full of covid, almost killed chris christie scraping you like an idiot. >> i don't think that country with any better off for that. i power bi, maybe debate him one time and get it over with my chrissy democratic about lashes screaming like an idiot and getting everybody sick. >> when you think about the demographics that biden is struggling with, when you think about young african american males or whatever they stand, we're going to cost a democrats when you think about young latino males, people that really respond to a certain type of machismo, you sit if you were going to do it, okay. if you curve out now is going to for the next no, i just that

helps him. i don't think there's any upside for biden and debating and on top of that, will trump a by any rules well, he listened to anything that i've said. here are the rules set forth, please do them and if biden goes down that line where he's trying to be presidential and abide by rules and have decorum and then you're trying to look my mom, i said a long time ago, you can't argue with some people because it doesn't make can you since you can't tell who's crazy or not, there's no to me, there was no upside at all there. >> let me say two things. one, you brought up the debates in 2020, people forget that these two people have debated before a couple of times. it's not like donald trump crushed joe biden those amazed at all, a lot of people third law, the third debate or debate but there were two, there were, there, were there one got canceled form interview? >> yep. >> for trump? now, in the first and then in the third one trump came ready i'm going to take the counter on your idea

because i think the people who are most likely to watch it are high propensity voters. these are joe biden's voters. the people most likely to watch these debates are the high propensities. their, now that's who he is supposed to be appealing to if i were him, i think i would do it and i do it early because he going to look any better six months from now. it's got would do it early and try to lock that group down because if he could keep a 5-6 point lead among the most likely voters and r, it puts a lot of pressure on trump to turn out those low or no propensity voters is somewhere to do. one more thing. i'll say, and it was your old boss, george w bush. he used to say this to me. i was on that campaign, i was chasing him around for 18 months. >> he would always say how much he loved, how low the expectations were for him. yeah. yeah. in fact, everyone would make fun of george w bush and say, oh, that he can't handle this and he's not as smart as allegories. every time they say that it's great, every time they say alga is going to crush me the debates, it's great if i walk out on that stage and i'm not drooling, it he said, i'm going

to this is george w bush yeah, i'll be the expectation. so what's there is a little bit of that now? >> well, yeah. >> let me just make one more play for why this is important for democracy. >> joe biden gets knocked for not giving enough interviews to the practice through donald trump only gives interviews to all right. this is an opportunity for moderators, journalists to ask really important questions that neither of these two people seem to want to answer very often. so it's important. >> all right, we're going to take a quick break. we are about to see president binds speak. colin joe speak right now. the only one hearing president biden is kelly o'donnell, who's head of the white house correspondents association. you can see them chatting up on the standard de is right now shortly america gets to hear all of them next rule, you're going to coverage. >> of the white house correspondents dinner. >> he is brought to you by vip guard and vip guard high, true law?

every piece of evidence tells a story how it really happened with jesse l. martin tomorrow at nine on cnn yeah that's us again. >> we're back the white house correspondents dinner special coverage. our next guest has some experience and taking the podium and roasting the president while in the same room, not awkward at all, or even sitting right next to him it's a great building. this room reminds me of the grand ballroom from titanic which is very comforted because i know

if this plays, start sinking, you folks are getting the good seeds it gives you the distinct impression that over the last eight years laughter and rage have become indistinguishable. i just used the bad word i'm sorry. but you know, in new york there's 9 million of us on a 12 square mile island. we use the f4 it as a comma snl alumni and commedia. darrell hammond is joining us now. he has stood in collin joseph shoes in 2001. thank you so much for being here. i have to ask you, did you worry that maybe your life was in danger as you made some of those jokes while the president is sitting there glaring at you? >> i think, you know, by the time you finish your dinner, you've become vaguely aware that you're in a room with people who are the most powerful people in the world and really the planet earth is run by the people in this room and that's hard to grasp and then you sort of realize, wait,

this is maybe the first audience i played where everybody knows each other and has relationships with each other. and may not want to be seen on camera laughing about a particularly sensitive issue. >> that is a great heart crime there. so, so right now, you can see president biden walking behind the de as talking to people their called joseph had to sit up there for an hour and pretend to eat while he knows he's gotta do this set soon. what's it like in those moments? what's it like in this pre-game? what's going through your head right now i think every time you walk in that place, it's i've only i mean, i only did it three times. >> three what, three of those dinners and emirates, it's surreal. there isn't a way to describe it. it mean that the fact that there's no one from any walk of life that's not there. you know and all the journalists are there as well.

>> and then i told the joke about i didn't tell a joke. i was trying to get into a joke about women in the point is women would be great officers. >> that's all and i stumbled through it and suddenly the room just went so flat on me. it took a while to dig out of that whole i mean, these guys are their movers and shakers and sometimes they're not, they're not happy when they get poked a little bit. >> are you are you going through your set as you're eating your dinner at that last moment, may doing some editing or adding are thinking about it you've been going off you're going up, you're sets since you got off the train that morning you never really stopped thinking about your set. you're having dinner, you're making phone calls, you know, you're having trying to maintain relationships back in new york, but you don't stop thinking about those words. it's only 15 minutes at all right. >> to put you to work. >> if you do if you step into a gopher hole, you may not you may not. like when i did, i

never really recovered because it's only 15 minutes i was four five minutes in, got in trouble and struggle the rest of the time that was my second appearance. >> but the keep inviting you back. so i obviously you're not doing that bad of a job. i do want to ask you if there's anything you would not touch. if you think that there is a third rail that you would not touch as a community with all of the things that are going on in this country. and the world they touch on everything usually my, my feeling is the closer you get to the line of distasteful the funny are you really are and you've got it, you've got to take a chance once in awhile. >> you don't want to impugn someone's character. you don't want to talk about their to pay. you don't want to for some reason it was in the news recently. you'd like to keep it in on the level of a locker room, towel snap, like they used to joke about bob. bob hope's got with joke about

reagan's golf swing that. but, but colonists from saturday night live and they dig a little deeper. he's had a lot of experience around these people and poking front of these people and maintaining relationships with these people. and he really has a great instinct of just how far you can go and if he steps over the line heel, tap dance for half a second and he'll be right back on those tend to get the biggest laughs. >> let's be honest, if you look out in the crowd when someone steps at those get the biggest laugh. so you are right. darrell hammond. thank you so much for joining us. that was wonderful. and maybe they'll ask you back next year. we're not he was dealing with some strep throat to darryl hammond was good spore coming on that in talking to us fight and through to talk to the american people, we really appreciate it, darryl. >> and as we wait on the president's remarks, we are keeping an eye outside of the event as well. there had been some progress tests gathering, stay with cnn. this is our special live cup coverage of

they were coming up drove past these protesters as well, and it would turn out to be a topic tonight. essentially, this is what's going on in different places all across the crunchy right now, certainly the president is aware of that. >> and collin joseph is aware of that. every one of the ram is aware of, then i will also say, since this is a celebration of press freedom around the world rolled i'm sure it's also a celebration at a time to honor the journalists who are putting their lives on the line to cover all the events of the world. and then that means conflicts and that means what's happening in the middle east right now, to be sure now you're looking at live pictures from inside the venue. we are told the program itself we'll kick off very shortly. they're going to be some videos. they're almost always are that are funny. ish there on the funny spectrum. yeah. at some point and some of them were very, very funny. we'll wait and see this year than we will, of course, here from colin jost, we will hear from president biden as well, and we are all right here with our all-star panel. the best white house correspondents dinner panel in my mind, there has

ever been. and i was thinking there should be some last second predictions were just a few minutes away from one. this all starts out, so just make some predictions. s. e. cupp, you start and what we're going to say, wow well, i predict collin joseph is going to be one of the best hosts ever he's got the right combination first, it's important he knows people in this room. when you're a stranger to these people, it's real hard to build the trust you need to make really, really cutting joke he's funny, he's smart. he does this for a living. i think he's gonna be great ran late than you are staring down the pipe. >> you are staring at every detail what what's your take? >> i think this is the beginning of joe biden's thunderbolt ross era is known followed it is under ball ross here we, go here. we go. oh wow. >> but venerable liter, the energy that taken control of phase is going to start tonight on the bolt ross fundable ross little, little anti-biden,

anti-hero biden begins tonight i think a lot of people i talked to some people on yesterday and so people who've worked, obviously, which with the core and they have said that this is probably, this couldn't be a certain way to look at an outgoing administration and a new administration coming in. >> if in fact trump were to win. and they said they're looking for what it could feel like tonight. and remember it as it was and as an end, perhaps see what will happen next. i think trump excuse me. i think biden will not necessarily be who you think he'll be, but it's going to be a eulogy i think that i'm not saying it's really eulogy you come on. >> the wife is yours i'm a little more time than we think the only thing you're saying that we're going to see dark brandon, is that what you're saying? >> that's what that's what that's what i'm getting. that's what i'm sharing from over here at the marvel comics reference list about a nerd proud i echo my fellow bay we

information they need to make an informed decision defeated former president has made no secret of his attack on our democracy he said he wants to be a dictator on day one. and so much more he tells supporters he is the revenge and retribution when in god's name ever heard of other president say something like that. and he promised a bloodbath when he loses again we have to take this seriously eight years ago. >> it could have written off as just trump talk but no longer not after january 6, i'm sincerely not asking you to take sides, but asking a rise up to the seriousness of the moment move past the horse race numbers the gotcha, moments, and distraction is a sideshows they've come to dominate its essentialize are sensationalized, are politics focusing on what's actually at stake, i think in your hearts, you know it wasn't state the stakes couldn't be higher

every single one of us has rows to play a serious role, to play in making sure democracy endures. >> american democracy. i mourn my role, but all due respect. >> so do you and the age of disinformation credible information that people can trust is more important than ever and that makes you, and i mean this when a bottom, a heart makes you more important than ever. so tonight, i'd like to make a toast drew afraid frehse to an informed citizenry, to an american were freedom and democracy endure. god bless america. >> now i'm going to turn it over to kelly and under here from a real community i think i know what i'm in for collin joe says, taken aim at maybe four with his jokes like

saying, after winning the south carolina hi, no primary biden, barely edge doubt is closest rival time carlin when i when i'm going to have a whole hell lot of time and i'm going to be watching pow jelly back to you thank you mr. president. thank you. so very much for being here. and for your words and supportive journalists. >> and now we turn to collin joe star headline entertainer colin not only brings the excitement of his own charisma and talents, but his guests are strictly a-list. >> in fact, i've been watching

this evening as many of you have been trying to get a selfie and hoping to get close to a very special woman who is a big, big star in collins life. >> his mother, dr. carrie kelly and i know scarlet agrees that collins, mother is indeed a star in her own right as the president indicated, dr. kelly spent nearly four decades with the new york city fire department. >> she became the first woman named the fdn wise chief medical officer and her service included nine 11 is the president indicated where she led triage efforts so dr. kelly, we thank you for your good work. >> and as his mother, you know yes, dr. kelly and mr. jones as you know, colin share a lot in common with many of us here tonight we're all fans of scarlet johanson so for a

moment, i'm going to take you back to when colin himself was a reporter for the esteemed publication at regis high school the oh young colin joe scoop, ten ways not to start an english paper and in-depth reporting on faculty summer plans then and now, colin jost is at the core, a talented writer that it's why i wanted him here tonight. >> and he is now the longest-serving anchor of weekend update on saturday night live. are you ready are you ready it is my role to welcome collin joseph thank

you, everyone. hello now, it was hard hitting journalism. >> you saw in the owl i didn't know you were gonna show me from my school yeah, it's not really fair. you can't do it for president biden because the technology wasn't invented when he was in high school it's not really fair good evening, everyone. >> i'm collin joseph, and i'll be delivering the republican response i'll be honest with you. i don't have a lot of time. i need to get back to new york because i'm john juror number five on a big trial trump's lawyer took one look at me and he's like he's gotta be on our side thank you, kelly for that very kind

introduction. mr. president. dr. biden vice president harris, doug doug as you can tell from all the comments about my wife, i'm also used to being the second gentleman i am honored to be here hosting what is a according to swing-state polls, the final white house correspondents dinner i hope that tonight will be a night to remember for most of us i was excited to be up

here on with president biden the night mostly to see if i could figure out where obama was pulling the strings from i have to i have to admit it's not easy following president biden. >> i mean, it's not always easy following what he's saying. like but before i begin tonight, can we just acknowledge how refreshing it is to cia of the united states and an event that doesn't begin with a bailiff saying all rise and i would like to point out it's after 10:00 p.m. sleepy joe is still awake while donald trump has spent the past week

falling asleep in court every morning though fox news said he was just being anti woke we are all here tonight. i'd nerd problem well, matt gaetz, is that regular prom, but actually, thought i, saw matt gaetz here tonight, but it was actually just my own reflection in a spoon like many of you here tonight, i pretend to do news in tv my weekend update

hello, anchor michael che was going to join me here tonight. but in solidarity with president biden, i decided to lose all my black support cej, told me to say that and i'm just realizing i was set up i've done weekend update for awhile now, but most people don't know that i started out doing the actual well news. my first job out of college was as a reporter for the staten island advanced newspaper they do not have table here tonight but they asked me to pass along this message to the other print journalists in the room. you think you're better than me?

>> by the way. i want to point out when i worked at the steno in advance, we had a daily circulation of 100,000 so the washington post would kill for that so as a former aspiring journalist, i wanted genuinely congratulate all the award winners here tonight. congratulations the correspondents association provides scholarships to promising young journalism students who may 1 day be sent off to cover dangerous geopolitical hotspots like columbia university tonight, this event is being televised live on c-span and, if you're

at home watching c-span on a saturday night, i hope they find your body soon before, your cats get to it there are so many incredible news organizations here tonight also a few credible ones the washington post is here. washington post they were the ones taking your coates at the door please be sure to tip fox news is here tonight it's the end of an era. rupert murdoch's stepped down at fox news, which is strange. i didn't think there was a step down from fox news trump media

is here. trump media not at a table, just screaming loudly in the corner to no one wordle is here tonight sorry. >> sorry. i meant the new york times i forgot they do stuff in addition to puzzles i have to say it's not a great sign when the only thing keeping a print media company alive or games people play on their phones to chilling for you guys room, just froze faster than mitch mcconnell and i have to say apologies to the times, but as the staten island or i still get all my news from the new your post thank you. >> the only paper where the

front page always has the same 200 point font whether the headline is world war three to start tomorrow, or central park owl dead in building collision the new york post is like having the new york times summarized for you by a crack head the times will say a border deal continues to evade congress and the post is like these mexicans are taking my stuff there are so many incredible individuals here tonight. laura trump is here tonight okay, well, i got one wu she recently released a cover of the song. i won't back down upon hearing it. tom petty

di, again i can't believe i'm saying this to a member of the trump family, but maybe stick to politics senator bernie sanders is here because he's not the type to pass up a free hot meal and in general there are so many hardworking influential senators and congresspeople here tonight. and i just want to say on behalf of everyone, i know stop emailing us stop it we get it done a chrissy is on the line and your plan to save it is to flood. >> our inbox is like your crate and barrel it's also wonderful

to be back in washington. i love being in washington the last time i was in dc, i left my cocaine at the white house luckily the president was able to put it to good use for his state of the union i'm kidding. >> of course, the president doesn't call it cocaine. he calls a high-speed rail by the way. >> can you blame the guy for turning to cocaine? he must be exhausted orchestrating for for separate trials against his rival rigging the super bowl and gearing up to steal a second election. wow biden laughed i love by the way, the

trump's to attacks on president biden, or that he's a senile old man. >> and a criminal mastermind i'm like, i think he got to pick one personally. >> i don't know any criminal masterminds who bike to get ice cream also, it's not like trump himself is young and sharp i'm, not saying both candidates are old, but you know, jimmy carter is out there thinking, i could maybe when this thing he's, only 99 there is an election. there's an election six extremely long months from now. so let me see

if i can summarize where this race fans at this moment the republican candidate for president owes half 1 billion in fines for bank fraud and is currently spending his days farting himself awake during a porn star hush money trial the race is tie the racist tie nothing makes sense anymore. >> the candidate who is a famous new york city playboy, took a bortion rights away the guy who's trying to give you your abortion rights back is an eight-year-old catholic. how does that make sense by the way, president biden isn't it crazy that he's only our second

catholic president and what's even crazier is that in just a few short months, we'll have our third and rfk jr. i'm kidding. >> like his vaccine card says, he doesn't have a shot everything feels strange now, by a lot of measures president biden is having a very successful first-term, but people don't seem to realize it like with the economy the vibes or bad, but the numbers say it's strong. the economy is kind of like, you on the steps of air force one it feels like it's stumbling, but there's somehow upward progress i do think that you can do more on the economy, sir. i really do for example,

have you considered eliminating the national debt by shorting trump's stock? people keep asking if our lives are better than they were four years ago. of course they are four years ago. we didn't have online sports, gambling what more do you need by way that's probably what's keeping the economy afloat online gambling and taylor swift without those, we'd be in a recession right now. the problem is, people are always going to compare your first term to obama's. but i think there are actually a lot of positive similarity parties you both made big strides and health care obama, got us out of a recession, you got us out of a pandemic obama got bin laden, you got oj and by the

way, now that o'jays dead, who is the new front runner for trump's vp? is it diddy by the way? >> i bet if trump did this select duty as his running mate i bet this race would still be tied i think even some democrats say that they are underwhelmed. but i think they're just not living in reality manage your expectations people. it's like tonight sure. we all wish we are at the waldorf right now but we're at the washington hilton and we have to make the best of it. >> just. be happy, you're not at the airport hilton

journalists these are challenging times and we need the people in this room to help guide us through it. your jobs are not easy and it doesn't help that we're living at the end of traditional media the gatekeepers are gone. did you know that 90% of people now get their news exclusively from social media and that must be true because i saw it in a random guys tiktok he was recording the video while driving a toyota corolla. but he seemed to know this stuff isn't it crazy by the way, that tiktok could be outlawed in the, by the end of this year. that's a real shame because we're going to need tiktok to document who is storming the capitol next january 6, things are not bad.

for everyone though this may be the worst time in history to be a print journalist. it is the best time in history to be a courtroom sketch artist my god, the most famous man on earth is on trial and there's no cameras allowed, just the artists. their pastels and their desire to make trump look as bad as possible every sketch of trump looks like the grinch had sex with the lorax in closing i would really like to take a moment to recognize all the print journalists in this room. >> your words speak truth to power your words bring light to the darkness and most importantly, your words train

the ai program's that will soon replace you and finally, i wanted to thank my family and i wanted to thank my friends for being here tonight to support me. >> i want, to thank my wife for enduring lots of jokes and for agreeing to individually meet everyone in this room right after the ceremony. >> how does, that's really special, honey, thank you don't be shy. >> come right up she hates privacy and with my with my family in mind i wanted to share one last thing with you before i go and i wanted to share one thing with you, mr. president, before i go i lost

my grandfather this year. as you alluded to a firefighter, william kelly he's the reason that our sons middle name is william he helped raise me growing up and i would not be here today without him. my grandpa was a firefighter on staten island for 40 years to make extra money for his family. he was a substitute teacher any painted houses and sense it's staten island. i should point out it's not like this scorsese irishman painting houses he was not a mafia hit man. he actually painted houses the fbi's here i don't want to start a whole thing my grandfather was another rare irishman who didn't drink thank because he lost his father and his brother to alcoholism and i swear mr.

president, this is not an age comparison you remind me of him some of your best qualities remind me of his and i will say he was 95 and he was still great at stairs i think it's because he didn't try to run up them but the reason that i bring up my grandfather other and i don't know if, you know, realize mr. president, but staten island firefighters are not normally your demographic staten island voted about 70% for trump in the last election it is 30% was for giuliani but staten island also sided with the british during the

revolutionary war. so we're not always on the right side of history you remember my grandfather a staten island firefighter voted for you, mr. president he voted for you in the last election that he ever voted in i mean i'm sure someone else will vote twice and this election using his name but that's just how the democratic machine works he voted for you and the reason that he voted for you is because you're a decent man my

grandpa voted for decency and decency is why we're all here tonight. decency is how we're able to be here tonight decency is how we're able to make jokes about each other. and one of us doesn't go to prison after we go to the newsmax, after party when you look at the levels of freedom throughout history and even around the world today, this is the exception. this freedom is incredibly rare. and the journalists in this room help protect that freedom. and we cannot ever take that for granted. >> so mr. president, i thank

you for your decency on behalf of my grandfather other and i thank all of you. >> almost all of you for your decency as well i am very honored and grateful that you divided one here. you're night. thank you. and goodnight speakers tonight especially mr. president. >> thanks again to our executive producer, bob bain and his excellent team. thank you to the wall street washington hilton, really thank you to the washington i am forever grateful to our members and to comcast nbc universal, my home at nbc news. thank you to our board and good luck, eugene i hope you had fun. >> i had the time of my life. good night that was collin

joseph just finishing that out there in an unusual endings thing. >> i don't think a lot of people were expecting from him because he's usually joke after joke after joke, and he killed it with some of the jokes the room went crazy. but ending that way was really endorsement of president biden he talked about decency. >> he talked about his 95-year-old grandfather who passed away this year and said that his grandfather voted for donald trump, excuse me, voted for president biden because of decency politics aside, it was a poignant plea. and i think endorsement in the room of not necessarily just a politician but also a way of life. also, search for truth, also hard work and things like that. it was an interesting night president biden came out, not a very belongs speech a lot of jokes about donald trump i'm

very trump focus from president biden also some direction to the media over what he thinks the media should do in this election and then commons yoast one joke after another, after another, after another. relentless and yet he joked about the president's age, a lot, a lot, a lot to talk about. we are back with our all panel that was watching that was laughing. there were some cringes. it was all happening, right here. carry champion. i see you at the end nodding first, i listen. i thought he was great. to my surprise. i didn't think he was going to be that great. he was very honest. i think, as you mentioned earlier, someone mentioned here on this panel earlier that there's truth and every joke i thought there were so much truth and a lot of the jokes in which he said, i love that he made fun of just about everyone. no one was safe, but more importantly, at the very end to your point, there were two things that really caught my attention that i really enjoyed please come up to my wife. she doesn't love a private everyone that's what she wants. >> i love that mom because she

city or lack she's really hard like that or not hello and i loved that because it tells me who he is and who she is. and they have that moment together. i love that his family was there. i just i really thought he hit it out of the park and last but not least, the decency clause i'm a fan of that. i think that everybody should be decent. i think we've been really nasty. and when i say we society as a whole, what we read and what we see and what trends on social media does it speak to our heart and our kindness? and for him to say that they gave me a new perspective about who he was. and i appreciate it i was really surprised with president biden i thought that he knocked it out of the park views. >> funny, but more than that, he showed the charisma that people sometimes don't see from him he was dripping with it. he understood the job he was in on the joke. as far as colin like he did the eight-mile day. >> he gets up there. if you guys ever seen, it might've seen a model for amounts and yet he makes me nervous.

>> yeah it gets up there and he basically does every single job that you possibly can about joe biden, about big democratic sort of conspiracies and all of that at the end, he ends with his heartfelt feelings about joe biden, about who he feels like the man is. >> and that made it more powerful after we had heard him destroy everybody else really strong night in both of the guys really honestly thank you. >> thank what was great? >> i thought he was great. i don't know who from our organization paid him not to make fun of cnn single pension of ivan we usually get a job or to adapt to, we usually get like five minutes was working for us. there. >> but i thought he was he was really funny and that moment at the end we have talked about being really heartfelt, a little emotional could have come off as self-righteous and earnest and scolding and it wasn't it worked so well because he personalized it with his family and he didn't go too far. >> it wasn't coining. i thought it was like just the

right ending but i loved a lot of his jokes. the matt gaetz one in particular. go over that. will we like second a little bit later. first impressions you know, i love joe biden i get frustrated with them. >> i, you know, on a day-to-day basis, you just think fees is why this why that why not that? and then you get a chance to spend some time with them either in person or here and you remember, as you said, van, this guy has real charisma. there's a reason that he keeps exceeding expectations he was counted out many, many times, but it's because of that i thought it was smart for me to keep it short other presidents could maybe take a cue from that. you kept it short. i liked the jokes about his age. they were a he he he gave his me jokes about his age almost as colin did. yeah. >> and i especially like one thing you did i thought was smart he talked about the age issue being that trump is a

six-year-old. >> yeah. i'm a grown man. he's a grown man. he's a six-year-old that was really good. and then your kitchen, you usually say like i've been campaigning and all 13 in column to your point, he was in on the joke you understood it. he embraced it. he was able to deal with it and then you'll call and do what he did. i think if you're a conservative, it's again the kind of mainstream media sites siding with biden that may not go down well for but if you're gonna do it, do it like colin didn't make it personal don't a few little jabs keep it funny, but open your heart up and call this country back to its best self, which is what he was doing scott what did you think? i got a different take. i saw those eyebrows go. yeah. i thought it was wise for biden to keep it short and he didn't try to over modulate. it was pretty pretty even keel throughout, you know, sometimes he goes up and down and it's weird he was very passive aggressive, mostly focused on trump. i didn't think it was a little rich for him to tell the press. i don't want you to choose sides, but then he

instructed them to cover the race and the exact same framing that he wants the race to be covered. i also again, he and the resident of crabs continue to spew miss information about what trump used the word bloodbath. it's a complete lie in a canard that biden, and then it says we can't and have misinformation in this race while doing it himself. i thought jose was funny. some of it was a little flat out, be honest, i wasn't expecting the endorsement at the end and there's a lot of sports content on tonight. and i suspect a lot of what people are going to hear about this will be clippings over the next 24 to 48 hours, mice suspicion is the geost endorsement will be one of the leading, not the jokes, but the endorsement and that will make news and i'll be curious to see if that where we'll make news on fox news are all make new and i don't, i don't view joseph as a political figure. he is someone that i i think people who don't follow politics would know and follow. and so his

interjecting himself into it will probably make some kind of news. i mean, look, we had biden speak tonight and then we had a biden surrogate effectively speak tonight. and so i agree with you, conservatives will not care for that, but there'll be a lot of people who only follow people like colin jost who maybe take notice of it that wouldn't otherwise be following political events like this, the way he did it, just to be clear, he didn't go out there and say joe biden for president, what he did was said my grandfather who passed away this year, voted for you the last time you voted, he also said that president biden reminds him of his grandfather and said the reason was because of decency. i'm not speaking to decency. >> he was speaking to the country about decency and to the people in the room about decency. and the reason why this exists that we can rub each other and not go to jail, i think is what he said is because of decency, i'll be honest. >> it's the single most effective celebrity endorsement i think i've ever because of the platform where he was how

he had set it up before. and in my opinion the reasons that he outlined the he feels like his grandfather voted for joe biden. those are the reasons to me that a lot of americans vote for presidents, like we can get to the ins and outs of the economy of politics, a foreign policy. but to me, i think i still think then a lot americans vote for the guy that they think. most reflects their values and who they are and character. and you just can't get a sharper endorsement from somebody at that point, it definitely wasn't endorsing. well, he was he was talking to me. that's why i voted for joe biden. i used to say because i want to make america good again, i think joe biden say good person. and so to re-up that, that message, i think was important, but also interestingly, he made jokes about some political issues, but he did not get political know at all. and i think that was really smart too, because it gone political making a maybe of a political commentary on gaza. or i know he made an

abortion joke, but but he wasn't really making a value judgment, had he really leaned into the politics that endorsement would not have worked. i think it really would have stepped on the endorsement, the endorsement worked because he stayed out of the politics. i think what about age as an issue both for biden and for colin jost? >> how do we think it played if if the goal clearly one of the i surmise one of the biggest goals from the white house at an event like this is to deal with head-on. what is one of the biggest issues with president biden is his age. do they do it effectively? >> i can go i mean, i think i think so. and the state of the union, when he was get off my lawn, levels of light, ball your morning olivia and marching pop white house exactly so with that with that one, i think it felt obligatory, felt like begrudgingly had to the age issue, this time you save to

actually enjoy it. >> he's even more reagan, reagan played with that a lot, right? and i think he's finally found his reagan voice and talking about his age, i thought it was right. >> they don't have a choice. >> yeah. i mean, you can't go out and say i'm not clearly are i'm so they don't really have a choice other than to deal with it via humor, having joseph, there to ratify that strategy. i mean, again, it's a very effective political strategy when you want to do something and then someone who's a professional at doing that shows up and helps you do it. i mean, that that's what they got out of it tonight and there's there's not really other events that go on in our political atmosphere that are designed to massage the rough edges of trump. this is designed to massage the very rough edge of biden, which is concerns about his age. trump doesn't have an analogous thing. yeah, you're right. >> i think carlin did something that was really smart. what we paid and because we're best friends, colin my my guy. >> we talked the joke's one over. well, we discussed no i like that he really said to me what in my opinion, when he said, you know what did he

could run be running mates with trump we still be tied yeah. he he's talking about the state of where we are. >> i want you to realize what's going on. well, this is ridiculous. are we paying it? attention to where we are today, like as a comedian, it is your job, i think to observe the humor of the country and to make it digestible to people who don't necessarily follow politics as you just talked about, was also to make it something that we can say, oh, that's funny. >> i remember you're right. >> let me take a step back. didi, the running mate for trump anybody at this moment? it could be because it's true is what you're saying yes. >> that was the exact what he's saying. listen to what i am telling you. this is funny, but listen, there's also something that we need to pay attention to. and that's, that's what got my attention. >> he brought up almost every single thing that biden is having to face. he brought up columbia, though he didn't put through biden in there. he was he teased the, students about that, but he also brought up the black vote when talking about that reaction out of me here, i he talked about his

weekend update partner, michael che having that. he was supposed to be that i'm also standing in solidarity with joe biden and losing all my blacks black supporters. yeah. what did you make of that? if that was that the right tone to deal with that issue? yes. he was to me pitch perfect. >> you know, when people save this often, but it was i wasn't offended by anything. he says some awkward moment it's things weren't always funny, but it was it was accurate. i think he's he spoke for a portion of society on left and right sides who felt like they weren't getting what they need and haven't been getting what they needed from president biden. also the same with trump and how ridiculous it is to have him falling asleep and farting himself, awakened the jokes about the race being tied. >> actually, i think that was the most biting thing he said about biden me list off all these terrible things about trump. and then he says, yet the racist tie, what i didn't get from him was that he understands why the racist time was that his job though? >> well, i mean, he came out he came out to an endorsement in

the race, but maybe it should be. >> but i think if you ask the average conservative, like why is the race tied or why is donald trump ahead and all the swing states? they know. but to the people on the de as and the people in that room know they're outraged that the race is tied, but they seem to have little understanding about why that might be. and i think if he had acknowledged that a little bit, it might have yeah. she wanted to say like there's something about immigration, something about grimes, something about the border, something about how the only people who can afford groceries and america are sitting in the same ballroom tonight. i don't know about the economy mean there are things you can do to acknowledge what people are feeling outside the bubble versus the outrage that people inside the bubble feel about how could anyone ever vote for donald trump or let me tell you more than a few are going to vote for him but it's sort of your job to understand outside versus inside the bubble. >> let me ask you this because i've been here with you at these events before joseph did

what he did in either talked about his grandfather voting for joe biden. so that was definitely there, but this wasn't the type of comedy. i don't think as i was sitting here near you that offended you as you consider derivative, i'm not i'm not offended by it. but i think my job here as it's been for the last seven years is to try to reflect what the average middle america conservative might, how they might react to something i think he said some funny things. i certainly laughed out loud at some of them and i'm just giving you on giving i think i think it's useful because you are correct because he's going to vote for a guy, another how the country is bewildered as to why he did say one thing about the trump's, since we are talking about what maybe i bet large trunk trunk things so bad. you've gotta combined her to go back to politics thanks. that was pretty i don't know because i was like that very much just one last thing. i think for me

that's. one of the few moments in that room. you saw the fox people, you saw the cnn people thought it's one of the few times in america where all those people are actually all together, people on both sides, people from rival news outlets. sometimes it can be very awkward and uncomfortable, but i do think that both the people who are getting the warrant all that kind of stuff, that stuff really matters. it made me proud to be a part of this profession, made me proud to be in a country where we're journalists can go and communities can go and stick it to the president. and it still worked out on it. >> it is about celebrating the first amendment as well. so those uncomfortable conversations that may be having or who you're sitting next to. the point is that we can do it without anybody going to jail and something that he said, we can rub each other without reporters in the room understand that when biden makes jokes like, i'm going on howard stern, that the joke is on you like, i'm gonna do howard stern, but i'm not going to spend any time with you people. >> i'm gonna come up here. i'm going to say all the things you expect me to say. but the

real joke is i'm not going to give you the time of day and i'm going to spend all my time with howard stern high. >> i mean, the new york times reporters, they got awards and is the only time the new york times gets to spend with joe biden those little photo up tonight, based on the latest round of reporting from the new york times and about the new york times, they do care and they are very upset if you want it bad and doesn't care. but that's the joke is on if i were if i were in that room there to celebrate journalism, i almost would be a little offended that joe biden is cranking. >> the question would be, what offends you more? of president wright is maybe a little stand offers with you or one that continuously it's profession, it's worse than down profession out their bases it like what like i guess they could take issue with it. but if we're looking at a choice between when looking at binary choice between one guy who's maybe not so nice and fuzzy with the press. another guy who says that they don't have any worth getting on the people he i talked to a lot of reporters and writers and journals

pleasant there very annoyed that joe biden has been closed to the press. >> they talk about it openly. they complain about it. they're super annoyed we demand more access to complain to the white house about it. i mean, let's but on the other side is so much worse. that doesn't give joe biden the pass but the four years of trump for journalism was a scary time to be doing what we do, drop weight, even pumps to our office. and donald trump laughed about it. so there is a comparison. it doesn't excuse joe biden's opacity, but people have an institutional knowledge of how this has gone over. administration's obama was hostile to the press at times, and we remember that too. so you have to understand where humans, as journalists, and we're observing everything that's been going on and we have a compare and contrast from immediate recent history. i think even for average americans this is how this

whole race is framed. it's the difference between annoyance and annihilation. like one guy who you might be annoyed with, another guy who you believe is a clear and present threat to democracy. >> and that depends on who you're voting for him by the way i, of course what i'm about my point here is that yeah, if those people in that room would be annoyed with joe biden, i just don't understand how they would make that big of an issue with it when another guy is like ripping to shred their time. >> i don't want to stop this conversation because it's fantastic and i love all of the input from around the table here, but we're going to lose our people who were actually in the room in one second. so laura coates in harry enten, you were there and he philip is there. room where it happened. so talk to us. how did to play i was not actually in the room. i was stuck out here, so let me ask the question. we were in the room where it happened hashtag erin talk to me, about your reactions to how everything why that was funny i

thought it was really listen, i was funny most of the time, people laugh and you know what i said earlier. >> the issue is that sometimes journalists don't want to laugh, they don't want to laugh at the jokes. >> but it was really funny. there were even like some very subtle jokes when he talked about the second gentle gentleman he was disliked dog that was that was a really funny joke because everybody knows that doug is doug he really hit the nail on the head in terms of the balance between he was a little bit more on the political side. i will say that right? >> well, yes, it's a reelection year i mean, he was he was probe let's be honest, he was he was crow biden, but he made a lot of jokes about biden's age they were funny. >> they were they were interesting who they were generally on board. he made old trump a lot so did president biden soda? >> president biden, i was actually i have to say i was a little surprised prize by that

his speech, president biden's speech was actually quite political, especially at the beginning for years, yes. >> even said his name really in the same way hi, in this today, but yeah. >> yeah. >> exactly. and so i almost felt like it was kind of taking a page out of president obama. >> this was from before before trump was a candidate or political person that was, that was looming over this dinner and president biden really he just went for it and it actually kinda indicated and maybe this is what they were going for, but they that he doesn't want people to think the afraid of taking on trump directly so hold on, hold on. >> we got a 10:00 p.m. anchor here. we got 11:00 p.m. anchor here, the 10:00 p.m. anchors answered all well, the question is 11:00 p.m. anchors trying to play anchor, but i'm going to play a little bit of anchor myself. you know, i'm just trying to hear abby, phillip or she is the buck while she's the boss, but perhaps the vice boss on the closer the closer you

are, the closer where partners in crime are partners you're partners in crime and i'm off somewhere else typing some things under computer newest spreadsheet. what did you think of what happened to see if you guys know i'm an inappropriate laffer i myself under confide try but like my my smile is very ready now. think in which is there a camera, but i laugh that last part surprised the biden was so political against trump at 190 days maybe he would debate or maybe wouldn't. it was his way of doing so. >> i thought colin jones was very if i may, there was a moment in time. >> he talked about his grandfather being a voter or biden about decency. there was a very nice moment at also the way that he in scarred ciao i'm sorry your hands, how you all color star joe wade talked about their relationship and now she didn't want any privacy come on up, draw it was very funny moment he also gave

at stake, i was happy to the whole dessert tray macaroons and you want to know heading players from potts. >> i'm getting hungry. >> been the best part of the dinner. let's be honest. >> what get your head to check in the fish was there a snake? what was going it was supreme there were two shrimp i was told there'd be three. there were what you got jewish shrimp. i got no shrimp well, i don't know what he brought the mind. >> i did i did i get bring them onto and it has actually gotten useless as gluten-free matzo because i like to ensure that people with sensitive stomach would be able to enjoy it as well. did you know that was going to come i'm shocked that the gluten-free matzo went first, but you know what? >> from washington, dc, not necessarily in new york, you know, guys, i just want to point out column was on the night and he was talking all up about staten island. staten island is the worst borough. i'm sorry, it's just drew it's the worst borough. the

bronx is where it's at arthur avenue. we're all going to go up to arthur avenue, get a little mario's pizza so when we're all back in new york and we're going to show staten island where it's truly at well, i meant to a man from the bronx, so we'll go to gun hill road is wound, get the jamaican food where we going i don't know. i'm not going to flat now not no john berman all right. >> thanks. you all so much. enjoy the after parties have already started, ariely laura coates, abby, phillip, are thanks to all three of you. all right. we've been talking about president biden. we've been talking about collin joseph. we saw things we really haven't seen before at this dinner, or to take a short break much more ahead. this is cnn special live coverage of the white house correspondents dinner coverage

back in washington. i love being in washington the last time i was in dc, i left my cocaine at the white house luckily, the president was able to put it to good use for his state of the union i'm kidding. >> of course, the president doesn't call it cocaine. he calls a high-speed rail there. it's jost making one of his many jokes about joe biden added, went over well in the room and joe biden himself did laugh and we still don't know where that cocaine case we chose joe biden, the president laugh at every one of the jokes that colin jos told about his age, which was interesting i do want to note that conservative media critic curtis how okay, or conservative media critic, not a critic of the conservative media he actually posted that very clip. >> instead, collin joseph kissing biden's at the white house correspondents dinner. so in case you were wondering, you

know, scott jennings has been here giving a conservative perspective of what we saw tonight. this is some of the immediate reaction to to what was heard from college os that you're shaking your head what a listen. i'm a conservative in the media. i've pretty fixed skin van and i have attended this several times. i remember them being a lot meaner meaner, mean, mean-spirited, more cutting jokes directed across the board. yeah. >> but mean yeah, this was light to me, to my ears. this was light. this was wasn't very cutting so i don't know. maybe i've just been around long and i think that's when you say it's not it wasn't cutting toward president biden, but it wasn't even that cutting to trump. i mean, he's making jokes about him farting in court i, really put a i think he could have gotten a lot a lot darker and a lot meaner about about a box about conservative media, about trump. >> i mean, pick your target i don't think he did. i think he

was pretty light. what i think is interesting is that yeah, norms are falling across the board you know, when, when trump bust the norm, it scares me and we go nuts we've never seen one of these guys endorse anybody before or women like we've seen a lot of stuff happen sometimes they bombed, sometimes they sought, sometimes they're hilarious sometimes, sometimes remember forever, i've never seen it before. >> so i another norm has fallen and i just i think if i were conservative, i would i would probably take exceptions. i think i understand that, but i liked it and i like i like collin joseph. i told you we're gonna be talking about him and nobody else i think calling joe's is gonna be the news tonight and tomorrow. i liked what he did. i liked what would biden did, but normed it volga i wasn't something about the comedy about biden though in the age of its almost exclusively about his physical limitations there really is no comedy about his mental

capacity i'm going bigger difference in this case, he made jokes about him being senile and he made jokes about not being able to follow what he says that in fact, the first joke he said is it's hard to follow president biden. in fact, i mean, it's hard to follow what he said. >> most of it is about the stairs and the bicycle mean, i think i think this is it's smart for the biden people to coordinate this to make it more about his physical limitations and not because if you look at all the polling, they got to give you look what are you saying is if a member of the deepstate saying i'm just saying if you look at all the polling everyone's worried, they're not worried about joe biden stumbling. >> they're worried about whether he has the mental capacity at his age to serve another term, worried about trump are they yeah yeah there's not a single poll in america taken during this campaign that shows people

worried more about trump's capacity. >> biden didn't say more. so, but my point is this, it's a wise strategy to try to keep it focused on physical limitations and move the conversation away from, does this person have the mental historical wise? but if it's wise because it's proven that's exactly what reagan did. people were very concerned that reagan with losing it and it turns out that he was losing it and actually had full on alzheimer's. but when reagan addressed it, he addressed it in this more gentle joke. king way. so if you think it's possible that they're effectively covered, well, no, i'm not covering up what i'm saying is that just like your guy, just like when you when you had an old an old guy you ever stayed i think i'm just but reagan just just like just like one door said, oh we have biden. you have reagan. >> but what we do have is i think a couple of things happening tonight. >> number one, you mentioned i do want to go back and talk about that as well. there's a beautiful relationship there with scarlet johanson like

that. i mean, that you talked about his celebrity couples and lot of times a bunch of drama and nonsense and crazy stuff. you could see the love there. you could see that he understands who she is. he's able to pull her. i'd like a beautiful stuff that was happening there. we can beat up on the president, but this is important night, and i think that was one. i just want to underscore thought that was a very important is family oriented with it. you could tell biden talked about his family, he talked about his ground i'm farther away meant so much to him. everything was family-oriented, which i felt to me also spoke to his entire his entire set. if you will. there was yes. i'm being funny. i'm making front of you, but at the same time he ended it with what he wanted us to take away, which was the decent element of we can still do this. we talk about this election. we concealed, we can still have all of these differing opinions. if you think he's a member of the deepstate kidding have no. he's a member. he's a member of the class of people in this country who are geared to want there to be a democratic president but here's my, and

there's no crime and that a lot of people want i just want a. decent america. what it was the only way to have a base that america is that decent american to vote for decent candidate? that's it agree about relative decency of joe biden. >> but but but your winning problems with joe biden what's your position is that we cannot have a decent america unless we have a democratic maybe he could give a chance to have his position. >> what is your voice? >> well, i mean, first of all, there there's plenty of red to take something from dead black widow actually said there's plenty of red in joe biden's legend. i'm not the hugest fan of joe biden. that'll go back to how some of the policies of joe biden, have affected the black community. all kinds of things. but what we're talking about, decency and what we would like to see out of someone that isn't a leadership position. i think even conservatively, you could look at donald trump and say, you don't want to tell your kids to be that guy? you don't want to tell the young people in

your world to be that guy. you don't want to tell them to bully, to dominate, to make fun of two debase, to destroy us tell them to be. >> i think that most people that look at that, that our objective about it couldn't make that determination. >> i think it's also very rich to see some people and conservative media to be credit, to criticize colin yoast when i watch a non sycophantic cycle a whole medium machine and apparatus dedicated to worshiping donald trump and his every single move without an ounce of objectivity there are so many different places they're doing that. so look, the guy got a little outside of his body. he said his grandfather loved to do that's going to i've watched sean hannity actually look at donald trump and say mr. president, i know that's not what you meant. >> what do you looking like is what he said. so i just think hold the incredulous for a little bit and let's have some

form. >> we have a few, just a few seconds. we're gonna go to break here. i want to take a poll on a very serious matter. how many people think that collin joseph ran the joke by scarlet johanson before he said it out loud on that day i'm sure he ran that joe her head dot clearance, not for just that probably all reshaped. there was great about it heather, attorney don't know. i were in his shoes. i would run it by whoever i had all, right we are going to take a quick break here. >> again, we have much more to discuss. more how it took a little bit more about president biden's short. but point did speech, i mean, this was a speech about donald trump, whom he called donald rigueur diddley. >> he actually made them. he doesn't often do that. he usually doesn't say his name such four right after this very

covers continues tomorrow at two, one, tnt and tbs i'll be honest with you. i don't have a lot of time. i need to get back to new york because i'm juror number five on a big trial trump's lawyer took one look at me and he's like he's gotta be on our side right. joining us now, long time late night watch or bill carter, who is now the editor at large of a new website called late-night, or it's perfect perfect. what did you think there were there were some things. nobody i think was expecting, especially especially colin jost at the very end there yes, that was unusual. >> i would say and i'm tempted to say that collin was decent, but i think he was a little better than that. i think it was good, but i think what people don't realize as he was a little out of his comfort zone. because if you see him on the show, he's not really a standup he does material and their visuals to illustrate what he says. and you don't,

you don't get that in this kind of arena. so that's one big change for him. i think. so. i think i think it was a little nervous and a little off. he didn't have a tremendous number of explosive jokes, had many good jokes. he only had two or three jokes i thought were kind of explosive i noticed you didn't mention one that i thought was interesting where he said, you know, something about it's refreshing not to have a president where the first thing is a bale of saying, you know, we have to stand up for a trial. he definitely had some material like that i thought that the grandfather thing was very it was emotional. i thought he he almost choked up about it and i could see why he was talking about his grandfather. and let's face it, if you're talking about most comedians, most entertainers they're probably not trump supporters. they're probably going to hold back on things like that. but he did tell jokes about biden that were critical in their way, but not that they weren't like pointed where he's going to tear a piece of his flesh out where you've heard a few of those in the past, like the

famous seth meyers joke about about biden. i mean about trump running as a republican. he thought he was going to run as a joke. that was a very big pointed left hook from the left. and it didn't see a lot of that at a cone tonight. but i think he did. i think he did quite well. >> you raise a good point and just the style of comedy that colin jost is used to in the comedy tradition. he comes from and how he's trained. it was a lot of one-liners. i mean, it was one-line joke. one-line joke. one-line joke. one likes you in. then when he shifted to the story about his grandfather, in which there were funny lines, it was almost as if it was an entirely separate thing. and the comedy was almost entirely separate. as well. it was a different way of being a comedian. and in some ways, and i'm not commenting on the near endorsement are putting endorsement and quotes there. but the comedy it may be more effective in that for it that's storytelling comedy you're absolutely right, john. that's not one, one line, one line. that's a story he's

telling a story that storytelling, comedy. and i thought he was kind of more himself there because it was personal. it was the same thing when he mentioned scarlet, obviously that was very personal and you could feel his humanity. i think it's also just think to note, this guy probably will be criticized by conservatives as one of the elite. this guy's from staten island. >> it's grandfather was a firefighter. this is not an elite guy. okay. yes, he went to harvard. he's a very bright guy he can connect with those people buried scarlet johanson again which is just like everybody every man retired. >> but he got to that level because he's a smart and by the way, it's kind of a good looking guy. so that probably helps to just a little bit. i'm curious what you thought of joe biden he usually does not say president, former president trump's name. he did quite a bit here and went off trump. he did he i think he saw it as an opportunity. >> he's campaigning right now. that was kind of one-third

campaign speech and two-thirds kind of the typical presidential comedy at one of these, he, he was making the point that it's democracy is at stake and that you have this guy who made all these it's outrageous statements and et cetera. so that was a little bit off from what you'd expect, but it is an election year and it's very unusual. it's how often does this happen to be running against the same guy again, it was just present. that's very, very unusual. i thought it was shorter, which was probably smart. i thought it wasn't as funny as some of the other. he was funny or last year? here, for example, obama was very, very funny, but many presidents have not been nearly that funny. he had a fantastic joke about his vice president endorsed him. that was a great joe can really effective explosive joke there so i thought overall his performance was good, but it wasn't as good as last year. it was a little off from me because he went overboard maybe in campaigning rather than being a performer at the event the joke that he made was age is the only thing

that donald trump and i have in common with the exception of my various president. >> actually endorses and that got a huge laugh, right? you told to just as well? well, no i feel car great to see i would say thanks for staying up late, but this is what you do. i think you probably stayed up late to watch more commonly than any person in america so thank you. yes. i've seen most of the 50 years of saturday night live, so all on tape because you're such a young man, bill carter, great to see you as always. thank you very, very much. thanks. >> all right. this is cnn special live coverage post game of the white house correspondents dinner. some of our smartest conversation right after the break riyad saves. new album is breaking records gets to say what? country is comey country beyond, say a nashville's renaissance streaming exclusively on macs

dinner. and again, as with most comedy, there is an element of it's funny, but it's true because it's true, right? because president biden has had issues with the african american vote. a bit softer than it was four years ago. we are back with the best white house correspondents dinner panel handle the history of this finding are joining us to only make it better is samantha barry, editor and chief of glamour and sent, you noticed or you noticed some certain jokes and some certain subject matters that we haven't touched on yet. >> yeah, it's funny, but it's true. the abortion joke was the one that i was listening and waiting for because yes, there's all these jokes about sleepy joe and the trial, but abortion is going to be a massive ballot mover in this election. he conscious joke was it was fine. >> it was kinda throw away was like i can't believe that in new york playboy has taken away your abortion rights and an eight-year-old catholic man is going to get them back to you. but what it did that did touch on for me because i was waiting

for that to come up. >> is that we have seen how much abortion has changed, even the small ballots you've seen in arizona recently, three republicans go over the aisle to try to repeal that draconian 1984 and 1994 measures sure. you've seen in alabama after the ivf ruling that there was a 33 points swing to a democrat, which was abortion is going to be the campaign issue this year. and there was one joke. there was a lot of jokes about sleeping and age, but i honestly think that's much more of a campaign issue then let's touched on tonight okay. so there was a couple of other jokes. i know sau you are just chomping at the bit. i get to one that did get a huge is one of the really big laughs made a joke about lauren. lauren boebert. >> i mean, i'm like a teenage are kind of like that the gig allelic off-color jokes like the one about matt gaetz going to regular promise. >> this is president biden, by the way joseph, to watch joe

biden deliver a joke about lauren boebert, and i don't know if everyone knows what he was doing. >> you're going to have to tell him you're asked right. >> lauren boebert, congresswoman from colorado, was at a movie theater. i'm sorry. a theater seeing amused play up sure. >> okay. >> with a gentlemen, friends. and they were thrown out for doing stuff to each other inappropriately under the table. >> i've said too much i think you get the idea and he made a joke about that. >> that is a really off-color joke. foreign at something your old man to make it a night. like i said earlier, that i thought was pretty tame. that really stood out for being different. >> i thought are you not allowed to do that in the theater? >> i thought this was america a

different kind of republican party, right? yes. >> when you are constantly talking about children and inappropriate sexualization and then you're sitting in a theater where there are children this is where the joke actually makes sense. i do want to ask you guys what you think about one thing we have not discussed and that is joe biden talking about the bible that donald trump is selling. and then he says, when he reads the part is no other gods should go before me. that's when donald trump puts it down and said this book is not for me owl. >> what did you think, scott? >> oh, i think biden leans on religion when it's convenient for him. and then he conveniently for you it says catholicism when it's not convenient for some of his policy choices, but can you take a joke i take one every day selling bibles. there's something i'm not in areas and absurd about that, not

endorsing it. but the idea that joe biden vowed catholic is like the paragon of religious virtue he presents himself, oh, come on. >> no, he made a joke that was ready to be taken. make this joke about trump selling bibles. >> i just want to go back and say it one more time here because again, on the abortion issue, that is the one called yoast made there. but president biden did talk about donald trump a lot. his speech was about donald trump than i expected it to be, to be fair. i think what you've seen from biden of late is really the democratic party in general is just kind of avoidance of bringing up trump's name are talking about him directly. and i think it's almost like a shifting campaign tonight where it was like no, we're going to address it we're going to make fun of him. i think one of the jokes that landed for me when he leaned into his 80s but he said, i'm an old man running against a six-year-old. so i think that was one of the ones that landed for me. >> one of the biggest criticisms of the democratic

party that i hear from people that i talk to is that they seems off. they seem like howard's, they seem like weaklings. they seem like people who aren't like willing to go to the mattresses for things that they tell us that our so important and sometimes when your pants into this race, it seems as if they're waiting for donald trump to implode for him to lose the election. they don't want to go take it. it's the most important election in the world. don't want to go take it. we don't want to take a step back and pop the bully in the mouth. seemed like he started to try to get there a little bit tonight. >> all right. everyone thank you all very much. you've all been wonderful and all been wonderful. good sports open bar, five a quick break we are going to have the very best of harriet ends red carpet experience coming on lag
