-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >> hello, everyone. i'm don lemon, big news for you saturday night. look at that. it is prom night in washington d.c. where politics and hollywood entertainment collide. you're looking at live pictures from the white house correspondent's dinner. president barack obama is there and expected to deliver a funny speech in just few minutes. we will carry it for you live. keep in mind the president is in the same room as a number of his big rivals, including donald trump. you will hear from donald trump tonight as well. this year's headliner, comedian seth myers of saturday night live fame. and helping with this tonight, comedy writer of "the daily show," cnn contributor, political anchor, errol lewis. we'll get to them in just moments.

this dinner is an odd backdrop to our breaking news which lit up reporter and white house blackberries at the dinner and came just as president barack obama was making his way to the event. there are reports from libya that moammar gadhafi and his grandson, his son and three of his grandsons were killed in a nato air strike today. a libyan government says saif al arab gadhafi died and moammar gadhafi and his wife were in the house when it happened but both of them are alive. three of gadhafi's grand chirp also reportedly killed. nato will only say it did hit a known command and control building and it's not confirming any of the deaths. standing by live frederick pfleigen. frederik, what's the reaction there tonight? >> reporter: massive demonstrations at the compound in the heart of tripoli. we heard also massive gunfire

all throughout town that seems to come in direct reaction, that happened right after a press conference earlier tonight where the libya spokesperson announced in fact the libyan government is saying saif al arab gadhafi was killed in that air strike. we don't have any independent confirmation, only the libyan government saying that at this moment. nato for its part is saying this was a precision air strike on a known command and control facility. we were able to tour that site a little earlier after the air strike happened and it seemed this was a compound inside a residential area and munitions used in that air strike seemed to be very heavy munitions and did leave a very deep crater. it seemed there might have been several layers that could have been a bunker under that building but impossible to tell at this time. >> thank you very much. we want to take you live to washington.

the white house correspondent's dinner. let's listen in to president barack obama. >> i want to show you my official birth video. now, i warn you, no one has seen this footage in 50 years. not even me. but let's take a look. ♪ ♪

[ applause ] >> oh, well, back to square one. i want to make clear to the fox news table, that was a joke. that was not my real birth video. that was a children's cartoon. call disney, if you don't believe me. they have the original long form version. anyway, it's good to be back with so many esteemed guests, celebrities, senators, journalists, essential

government employees, non-essential government employees. you know who you are. i am very much looking forward to hearing seth myers tonight. [ applause ] a young fresh face who can do know wrong in the eyes of his fans. seth, enjoy it while it lasts. [ laughter ] yes, i think it is fair to say that when it comes to my presidency, the honeymoon is over. for example, some people now suggest that i am too professorial. i'd like to address that head on by assigning all of you some reading that will help you draw your own conclusions.

others say i'm arrogant, but i found a really great self-help tool for this, my poll numbers. i even let down my key core constituency, movie stars. just the other day, matt damon, i love matt damon, love the guy, matt damon said he was disappointed in my performance. well, matt, i just a saw "the adjustment bureau," so right back at you, buddy! of course, there's someone i can always count on for support, my wonderful wife, michelle. [ applause ]

we made a terrific team at the easter egg roll this week, i give out bags of candy to the kids and she'd snatch them right back out of their little hands. snatched them. and where is the national public radio table? you guys are still here. that's good. i couldn't remember where we landed on that. i know you were a little tense when the gop tried to cut your funding, but personally, i was looking forward to new programming, like no things considered.

or, wait, wait, don't fund me. of course, the deficit is a serious issue. that's why paul ryan couldn't be here tonight. his budget has no room for laughter. michelle bachmann is here, i understand, and she is thinking about running for president, which is weird because i hear she was born in canada. yes, michelle, this is how it starts. [ applause ] tim pawlenty, he seems all

american, but if you heard his real middle name, tim hosni pawlenty, what a shame. my buddy, our outstanding ambassador, jon huntsman is with us, now, there's something you might not know about jon. he didn't learn to speak chinese to go there. oh, no. he learned english to come here. [ applause ] and then there is a vicious rumor floating around that i think could really hurt mitt romney. i heard he passed universal

health care when he was governor of massachusetts. someone should get to the bottom of that. i know just the guy to do it, donald trump! who's here tonight. now, i know that he's taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the donald. that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like did we fake the moon landing? what really happened in roswell? and where are biggie and tupac? all kidding aside, obviously, we

all about your credentials and breath of experience, for example, seriously, just recently, in an episode of "celebrity apprentice," at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from omaha steaks, and there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, mr. trump, recognized the real problem was a lack of leadership, so ultimately you didn't blame little john or meatloaf, you fired gary busey. and these are the kind of decisions that will keep me up at night. [ applause ] well-handled, sir.

well-handled. say what you will about mr. trump, he certainly would bring some change to the white house. let's see what we've got up there. so, yes, this has been quite a year in politics. but also in the movies. many people, for instance, were inspired by the king's speech. a wonderful film. well, some of you may not know this but there's now a sequel in the works that touches close to home and because this is a hollywood crowd, tonight, i can offer a sneak peek. so can we show the trailer, please?

>> the following preview was begrudgingly approved for all audiences by the president of the united states. the film advertisers were rated u, unwatchable. the year is 2011. opposition rises. >> congressional republicans could force the federal government to shut down. >> and the president must face -- >> republicans are serious about an amendment that would eliminate funding. this is serious business, for the president's teleprompter. >> his greatest challenge. from the people who brought you universal health care and the huge backlash to universal health care comes the incredible true story. >> as our economy added another 20 -- argh -- to say that -- they say that -- during that -- no, let's start over. >> the president has lost his

prompter. joe lockhart, has he lost the magic? >> savannah, he's gone from yes we can to no, i can't. >> i can't get that. i will also -- i will also visit -- i will also visit chile. i will also visit chile. okay. let's try that again. >> in his darkest hour. >> mr. president, what are you going to do? >> the president turned to a man who never let prepared remarks stand in his way. >> axelrod wanted me to use the teleprompter. i told him, i'm much better when i -- >> who broke all the rules. >> his momma lived in long island for ten years or so, god rest her soul and although she's -- is mom still alive? god bless her soul. >> and speak from the heart. >> i've never seen so many damn insurance commissioners.

my lord, i'm not that old. actually, i am. >> it's the story of friendship and power of the human spirit. >> there's only two lights. >> but mostly, it's this -- for two hours. >> and someone we appreciate even more, natalie portman, this is not on the teleprompter but she's a heck of a lot better looking than rahm emanuel. >> this fiscal year, join two-time grammy award winner, barack obama. >> this is the coolest -- >> renowned fruit and vegetable enthusiast, michelle obama. >> hey, there's a carrot. >> and amtrack's passenger of the year, three decades running, joe biden. >> there goes biden. >> as the president loses his teleprompter.

the president's speech. >> outstanding vice president, joe biden is here. >> coming to a theater near you. [ applause ] let me close on a serious note. we are having a good time, but as has been true for the last several years, we have incredible young men and women who are serving in uniform overseas in the most extraordinary of circumstances. [ applause ] we are reminded that their courage and their valor. we also need to remember our neighbors in alabama, and across the south that have been devastated by terrible storms. [ applause ]

michelle and i were down there yesterday, and we spent a lot of time with some of the folks who have been affected. the devastation is unimaginable. it's heartbreaking. it will be a long road back. so we need to keep those americans in our thoughts and in our prayers. we also need to stand with them in the hard months and perhaps years to come. i intend to make sure that the federal government does that, and i've got faith that the journalists in this room will do their part for the people who have been affected by this disaster, by reporting on their progress and letting the rest of america know when they will need more help. those are stories that need telling. and that's what all of you do best, whether it's rushing to the site of a devastating storm in alabama or braving danger to cover a revolution in the middle east.

in the last months, we've seen journalists threatened, arrested, beaten, attacked, and in some cases, even killed, simply for doing their best to bring us the story, to give people a voice. and to hold leaders accountable. and through it all, we've seen daring men and women risk their lives for the simple idea that no one should be silenced, and everyone deserves to know the truth. that's what you do. that's your best, that's what journalism is. that's the principle that you uphold. it is always important, but it's especially important in times of challenge, like the moment that america and the world is facing now. so i thank you for your service and the contributions that you make and i want to close by

recognizing not only your service but also to remember those that have been lost as a consequence of the extraordinary reporting that they've done over recent weeks, they help, too, to defend our freedoms and allow democracy to flourish. god bless you and may god bless the united states of america. [ applause ] >> all right. that is -- as president barack obama of the white house correspondent dinner, some very funny moments there and some seriousness at the end talking about our men and women in uniform and giving the press a little guff there. we are going to go through all of this. seth myers is the headliner at the white house correspondent's dinner and when we come back, we will have our panel here and get them in and again, we're

awaiting seth myers. we are back in a moment. you will not miss any of it. y b, what's going on? [ ella ] happy anniversary! are we still on for tonight? yeah, of course. of course.

it's so amazing to be in washington d.c. and all this history, all these amazing buildings and yet here we are at the hilton. the red carpet outside was amazing. who are you wearing? what does it matter? i'm going into the hilton. don't get me wrong, i'm very happy we're at the hilton because no matter how i do tonight, i'm earning hilton honors points. you may not like these jokes but i'll be laughing all the way to a free breakfast. for those of you who don't know, the white house correspondents association is an organization of journalists who cover both the white house and the president. the earlier senator jon kyl told me 90% of what they do is abortions.

tonight is not about our political differences, tonight is really about the after parties. i keep hearing how everyone is excited to go to the bloomberg party. you know how i know i'm not in new york? in new york, no one is excited go to a bloomberg party. in new york, the bloomberg party is five people smoking outside a bar complaining about bloomberg. i, of course, am contractually obligated to attend the msnbc party tonight. everyone knows how the msnbc party works. president obama makes the kool-aid and everyone there drinks it. too close to my home? there are actually some unscheduled parties happening tonight. i've been asked to give everyone a run down. fox news is having a party.

security is tough. so make sure you bring a driver's license and your long form driver's license. but if you're blond, don't worry about it, just bring that dynamite smile. "new york times" party used to be free but tonight apparently there's a cover. like everyone else, i probably just go to the "huffington post" party. huffington post parties are asking people to go to other parties first and just steal food and drinks and bring it from there. [ applause ] don't get me wrong, i love arianna huffington, especially her voice, she sounds like a woman who would be sitting up in bed with a sheet wrapped around her as james bond is walking out the door. will i see you again, james? andrew breitbart's after party is going to be crazy. it won't be good but it will be crazy.

i actually met james o'keefe last night, at least i think it was james o'keefe. it may have just been a regular pimp who hated organized labor. npr is having a party but i'm sure it will be pretty sedate. how wild can party get when it's held in accordance with sharia law? it's what i was told. this has been a year of sweeping changes happening, tv news. katie couric announced she is leaving cbs. katie was known best for asking the tough questions like, name a newspaper. the years of hard hitting questions and she's going to be remembered for the one that could have doubled as a category on "the family feud." follow-up question, name something you keep in your attic. katie is just one of the many departures we have seen this

year. npr fired juan williams after he said muslims make him nervous. so juan is black and afraid of muslims, making him the least likely man to get a cab in new york city. msnbc's keith olbermann was suspended for his show for violating company policy by donating money to three democratic campaign, still, the punishment seemed rather harsh compared to the slap on the wrist larry king got after giving a buffalo nickel to the campaign of chester arthur. cnn replaced larry king with piers morgan this year, just like the old expression, out with the old, in with the who? rick sanchez, you are gone but you are forgotten. not everyone's leaving. my friend, anderson cooper is

still at cnn and i especially love watching him report from the field. you can always tell how much danger anderson cooper is by how tight his clothing is. if he's in a bulky yellow slicker, a hurricane still offshore, a khaki vest maybe in the green zone in baghdad. when he's in the child sized white t-shirt, bullets are flying, getting punched, pulling kittens out of the rubble. so what i'm saying is if you ever see anderson cooper with his shirt off, turn off your television and run! msnbc has a new slogan this year, lean forward, as if the problem's been that we couldn't hear them. lean forward. have you seen "hardball"? chris matthews yells like an auctioneer in a wind tunnel. i never watched chris matthews and thought, i need to get a little closer to this. now more than ever, it's clear that media is changing, news outlets adapting to an online world.

even bloomberg news is on twitter with oppressive 220,000 followers, so only 20,000 left than a cobra that escaped from the bronx zoo. my friend and colleague from nbc, brian williams is coming tonight because it has the element he most respects in an evening, cameras. i'm not saying brian loved being on tv but when he went to egypt it was because he heard it was their pilot season. all joking aside, i have nothing but respect for my good friend, brian, i know you probably didn't hear about this brian landed in london to cover the royal wedding only to turn back around and return to america to cover the tornadoes in alabama and was incredibly brave and courageous and that is a direct quote from brian williams. this incident has grown past washington and many hollywood celebrities are also here

tonight. jon hamm is here, yeah, jon hamm looks the way every republican thinks they look. zack is also here, looks the way republicans think every democrat looks. since we're talking about celebrities and reality stars, we might as well talk about the 2012 republican candidates. just look at the options republicans are kicking around, palin, huckabee, gingrich, trump, doesn't sound-like a field of candidates, that sounds like a season 13 of "dancing with the stars." not the stars, the dancers. let's start with mitt romney. he wrote a book titled "no apologies." no apologies, when you have to proclaim no apologies, isn't that a tacited admission you made a lot of mistakes. if i come home from a trip to vegas the first thing i say to my girlfriend is no apologies, we're going to have a follow-up conversation.

both rand paul and ron paul have been talking about a run in 2012. they have something in common with my father and i which means we're also not going to get elected president. i, of course, would love nothing more than to see a debate between father and son. rebuttal? dad, you ruin everything. tim pawlenty is considering a run. if you look up boring in the dictionary, that's more exciting than listening to tim pawlenty. tim pawlenty makes al gore look like rupal. mike huckabee is considering a run. mike huckabee said the president was raised in kenya, went to a muslim school and it has -- and he hates america. despite that, he still seems like a sweet person. he sounds less like a presidential candidate and more like my aunt.

and then, of course, there's donald trump. donald trump has been saying he will run for president as a republican which is surprising since i just assumed he was running as a joke. donald trump often appears on fox which is ironic because a fox often appears on donald trump's head. the washington post and you can't finish your entree, don't worry, the fox will eat it. if i can, for a moment, talk about the birther issue, when did we get so suspicious about where people were born? a "usa today" poll said 38% of americans think the president was born in the u.s. in the very same poll, only 5% more said donald trump was definitely born in the u.s.

has it reached the point where americans only think something -- someone was born here if they saw it? i know i was born here and i know my younger brother was born here. but when it comes to my older brother, i can only take him at his word. gary busey said recently donald trump would make a great president. of course, he said the same thing about an old rusty birdcage he found. donald trump owns the miss usa pageant, great for republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president. donald trump said recently, he has a great relationship with the blacks, unless the blacks are a family of white people, i bet he's mistaken.

i like that trump is filthy rich but nobody told his accent. his whole life is marbles and gold leaf and marble columns but he still sounds like a know it all down to the otb. mr. trump may not make a great president but definitely make a great press secretary. how much fun would that be? kim jong-il is a loser. his latest rally is a flop. i feel bad for ahmadinejad, he has no class. i on the other hand, sell my own line of ties. you can find it at macy's in the flammable section. so it's not a strong field. who knows if they can beat you in 2012 but i tell you who could definitely beat you, mr. president, 2008 barack obama. you would have loved him. [ applause ] so charismatic, so charming. was he a little too idealistic? maybe. but you would have loved him.

i still think we all remember the inauguration day, the first lady was there. may i say as beautiful as you looked that day, you look even more beautiful tonight. [ applause ] now, you on the other hand, mr. president, have aged a little. what happened to you? when you were sworn in, you looked like the guy from the old spice commercials. now, you look like lewis gossett senior. i never said this to anyone before but maybe you should start smoking again. is this the change you were talking about? mr. president, look at your hair, if your hair gets any whiter, the tea party is going to endorse it. i'm going to get angry voice mail from jenny thomas is 19 years.

but i believe the president would agree with me that the mood has changed a bit since the beginning of his term. at the beginning of his term, mr. president, housewives were trying to sneak into the white house. not anymore, now, everyone's leaving, axelrod, gibbs, rahm emanuel. by this time next year, just you and joe biden trying to find toner for the copy machine. now your re-election campaign has begun. i bet it's hard to get back in campaign mode again. you know who's really dreading it, will i am, writing down words that rhyme with debt ceiling. the heritage foundation projected that joke would get a standing ovation. probably shouldn't trust those guys. mr. president, i truly still have confidence in you. for one, you still have the first lady and, of course, you still have joe biden. what can i say about joe biden that hasn't already been said

incorrectly by joe biden? i imagine having joe biden as vice president is kind of like taking your blue collar dad to a fancy restaurant. he's more comfortable at the olive garden, he talks a little too loud, mispronounces the sauces and you're always tempted to lean over to the waiter and say, i'm sorry about him, he's from scranton. mr. president, if joe biden were not invited to the royal wedding, and when biden found out immediately said to the president, you, me, wedding crashers two. >> all right. seth myers, you can see he's getting to the end, talking about the royal wedding which just took place yesterday. back in a moment. did you see donald trump's reaction? we're going to talk about that with our panel coming up. you're not going to miss anything. we're back in a moment, guys, you ready? ♪

seth myers, wrapping it up at the white house correspondent's dinner. >> at least when my speech started, was still a nation rated aaa by standard & poor's. thank you and good night. [ applause ] >> all right. there we go. the president versus seth myers at the white house correspondent's dinner. let's look at it now. errol lewis is here, pete dominic is here as well as lizz winstead co-creator of "the daily show." and comedian pete dominic.

you saw at the beginning there, pete, when he talked about -- showed the birth video, and certificate and it was "the lion king." what did you make of that? good move? >> absolutely brilliant. the president uses video three times. that was great and the lion king was perfect, takes place in africa. president obama took a lot of shots at himself. it was great. very, very funny. of course, the video cuts out at the end. you knew it was going to happen, the birther jokes on himself. that was a great beginning. >> we'll watch. we don't have to listen to it because we've seen it. we can roll the video. i want to ask liz, co-creator of "the daily show." do you think the president came out of the gates. play the video. we don't have to listen to it. what do you think? >> i think he totally came out of the gate. this year and last year were similar.

i have a slightly different view than pete because i think the president really delivers well. i think his facial expressions are great. i don't think they needed as much video as they did. i thought the lion king thing was great, the whole movie trailer thing went on way too long, could have been shorter and funnier. when you have a guy who can deliver like that, is really charming when he does, use it, don't go to the tape. >> errol, i have to ask you as a political anchor, they say the truth is often spoken in jest, a lot of that was going on, especially when it came to the president. we'll talk about seth myers later. >> sure. he went through his opponents, one by one, huntsman, bachmann, pawlenty, good natured and very well delivered, like liz says. he basically took shots all across the ballroom going after people who might run against him. >> stick around. we will talk much, much more. donald trump. donald trump.

i'm sure you guys were watching and you thought it was funny. did you notice donald trump's reaction to the president and to seth myers? we're going to talk about that with our panel after the break. [ man ] if it was simply about money, every bank loan would be a guarantee of success. at ge capital, loaning money is the start of the relationship, not the end. i work with polaris every day. at ge capital, we succeed only when they do. whoo! awesome! yes! we've got to get you out of the office more often. ♪ my turn to drive. ♪ lord of the carry-on. sovereign of the security line. you never take an upgrade for granted. and you rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above.

say what you will about mr. trump, he certainly would bring some change to the white house. let's see what we've got up there. >> okay. that's the president talking about donald trump at the white house correspondent. was donald laughing a little bit when it came to the president. his reaction to seth myers not

the same. donald trump said -- seth myers said donald trump was running as a republican, i thought he was running as a joke. he appears on fox but a fox often appears on donald trump's head. i don't know if you saw his reaction, he didn't laugh at any of that. >> and that's why he'll never be president. if you cannot, like obama brilliantly proved tonight, if you can't be self-effacing and can't laugh at yourself and donald trump i don't think ever once has laughed at himself, he's just this sort of brooding king of disappointment. he brings it up and he lets you down. i love the way obama dealt with it. he just laid out donald trump's qualifications so brilliantly and took a long time with the "celebrity apprentice." it was great. he didn't have to barb him told the truth. >> he said those are the decisions that keep me up at night. >> exactly.

>> he said, well-handled, donald, well-handled. errol, you and i talked about donald trump's comment when he said, i've always had a good relationship with the blacks. seth myers says that's if the blacks are a family of white people. >> it's actually very funny. donald trump, make no mistake about it, if you want to take him seriously as a possible candidate, he's had a huge problem in the last few days, not just the release of the long form birth certificate, somebody like a bob sheifferer says what he's talking about is tinged with racism. that's serious stuff, you don't walk away from that. and this long obscenity laced tirade he delivered in las vegas, it's not clear what's going on with him. he was in no position to sit and laugh at himself tonight. >> go ahead.

>> i want to say, i think it was a brilliant kick in the gut to you guys a little bit, too, saying, why did you ever take this clown seriously to begin with. >> pete, real quickly, i have to get a break in and we will talk to you guys. to liz's point, you have to be able to laugh at yourself. especially at an event like this. seth myers works for nbc and says at the msnbc party, president obama will poor the kool-aid and everyone will drink it. fox news, everyone bring your long form driver's license but if you're blond, flash that winning smile and hit arianna huffington really hard. >> all of those people could laugh at themselves, all the networks, all of us, we can laugh at ourselves. if you're confident, you can laugh at yourself. donald trump in the last few weeks we learned he's a racist and knows nothing about politics and learned he has less facial expressions than a cadaver. the guy looked dead.

he had no smiles because he's apparently that insecure. it's not appealing and the finale of all the carnival tricks he's been pulling over the last few weeks, it was really, really gratifying for a lot of people to see him humiliated. >> i wonder what that revealed about him, if people will watch this and say hmm, no sense of humor. stick around, we will talk in a few minutes. but first, we want to turn our attention to a story continuing to play out across the southeastern u.s. listen. >> it's gone, it's destroyed. i moved from colorado to live here. i don't have anything. >> homes, towns, loved ones, gone in a matter of seconds, lives changed forever, the emotions pouring out of those who survived the deadly tornado outbreak across the south. which are one of a kind. the authentic, the rare, the hard to define. to those who'd climb mountains or sail across seas
