look forward to tuesdays. >> oh, you are giving me the vapor vapors. >> i'm a little frisky this morning, stephanie. >> good to know. let me make a note of that. the president has thwarted another al-qaeda plot. now they are trying to make it a bad thing, that he is spiking the football on bin laden, et cetera. et cetera. how is that going to play in this election? >> it's stupid for republicans to make this argument. american people recognize the president did this he got military help. anybody who watches the president's speeches, he is giving credit to the military and cia, and saying look, we armed them with the ability to do this, i gave them the order and they followed through.

the republicans ought to just keep doing this. because's the stupidest weakest thing i have seen in a long time. instead of saying bravo, now let's talk about the economy. every day they continue arguing about whether or not the president is spiking the ball is a great day for democrats. so just keep it up. >> the good news is this group, the veterans for strong america, they basically are saying we're swiss voting the president. but that's the part you don't say dummy. here is the point, they aired this ad on where was it -- abc this week. and members of the round table have to echo the talking points -- >> there are these navy seals that are going to come out

against the president. >> this is what happens, and it bleeds into the main stream media, doesn't it? >> yeah, i think it does. and that's the danger of media matters and other organizations that keep track of this. now of course everybody is going to be looking for that one navy seal who will criticize president obama, but you can find anybody to criticize anybody these days. and this just goes to show the standards of the right-wing media is so derelict ridiculous that they will go for anything. some crazy crack pot will come out and say i don't think the president should be doing this. but i think most americans see through this kind of nonsense. if you are talking about the economy, i think people will engage the debate. i still think the debate would

be that he has done a great job on the economy. >> and david we saw election cycle was ugly and the strains of racism. and that has obviously gotten worse. and didn't we hit another new low yesterday where a woman at a townhall accuses the president of treeson, romney doesn't even blink an eye. >> and that's much contrast to what john mccain did. there is certainly a lock of integrity, and once upon a time you could disagree but at least you had respect for the fact he kept it within certain lines.

romney will say, and do anything if it helps him politically. mitt romney condemned the homo phobic attacks on the security advisor? absolutely not. and if he did i think that would show some leadership, but every time mitt romney is toned up like this, again it is ugly and disgusting. but politically i think it helps the democrats. >> right, and you can go back one after another. he didn't condemn what ted nugent or rush limbaugh said. when you have a right-wing radio host mocking you for not standing up to him, we have really reached a new place, haven't we? >> yeah, and politically this is great for the democrats because

moderates and independents see right through this, and they get disgusted when somebody doesn't show leadership and condemn this stuff. but the few crack pots who are out there -- if you are congressman allen west who claim the 78% of congress are communist. there is a crack pot who has easy access to guns because of these stupid republicans who get ahold of a gun, and then we have the gabby gifford situation. and that's why i think it is so dangerous. you have to call this stuff out when it is said. you have to send a message to all of the crazies out there who hear mitt romney and say oh, my god, mitt romney agrees that the president should be charged with

treason, and what do we do with those people we shoot them? >> in dallas there were posters t up for calling out jfk for treason. >> yeah. >> and you saw what happened afterwards. >> i thought romney afterwards was a perfect example of how mealy mouthed he is. he is like, of course i don't believe it. of course i believe it or don't believe it, or whatever you want me to say. >> yeah. >> i can't -- a lot of these -- i have covered a lot of campaigns over the years, but sometimes the politician doesn't know what they are saying. and that happens sometimes. but when you are reminded of it later when your producer says

hey, such and such said this. but let me be absolutely clear. i do not support anybody who wants to go there with the idea that the president should be charged with treason. >> yeah. >> and i -- >> that is infuriating. >> i agree you can't be held responsible for anything anyone says, but she said it directly to him with his microphone. he had given her a platform. there is no way he missed that. >> yeah, he wants to be so safe and so frightened of the conservatives that might abandon him, there are a lot of conservatives that will stand up and say that's ridiculous. romney will recognize that and say we can have an intellectual debate without having this

nonsense. and when a reporter when a aid, when somebody says hey, did you not hear what just happened? he said i heard it, i was sort of startled and didn't know how to react it is easy to deal with these things -- i'll give him a pass on the first time but when he is reminded of it, or a reporter asks him at that point he has an obligation if he wants to be president of the united states, leader of his party, he needs to lead and say we are going to conduct this election in reasonable lines. >> and david honestly, the theme for me this morning is more how is the main stream media going to cover this. mitt romney is literally on record now as say i am

responsible for turning around the auto industry. do you just cover that as a reporter saying okay. that is what happened. >> yeah. when i saw i this morning, i literally freaked out. i thought in has got to be a mistake. my fear, and this is the criticism of the media for a while. you will have some members of the media that say, mitt romney did this blah blah blah. but to me it's to tell the truth. and sometimes the fact of the matter is that president baum and president bush to a certain extent, they gave government money to help the auto industry. and there is no way you could do a structured plan without using

the bailout. >> that's right. >> a reporter has to say i don't care if the romney campaign gets pissed on me i'm going to call him out on this. >> i was on record back then of not being a george bush fan of saying one of the things he did not support was the auto industry. when we got bin laden, literally david, you saw the news shows and sunday shows, both president obama and bush deserve credit -- and it's like what? they had mostly all bush administration people that they interviewed. >> yeah. it's ridiculous. i was looking at some stuff last night, trying to remember some of the themes going on in 2008.

i did an interview in 2008 and i said what are the auto makers going to do over the next 60 days, that they haven't already done? the fact of the matter is, i was wrong. they did some changes within two months and the bailout worked. so later when i did the next segment, i said okay. i was a little bit hard on this one but the obama administration they were right. >> david you are twice the man that mitt romney will ever be. [ laughter ] >> i just -- you are very complementary. whoever is advising mitt romney is doing a really lousy job. and we're hearing this is complain by committee. at some point somebody has to grab him and say, look you have

to acknowledge you are not perfect, and you have made mistakes, and then you are start to appeal to the independents that you need to win the election. >> the president has been consistently right on things. and when you have mitt romney going the unemployment should be under 4%. and ryshe said it was when we had the policies that are exactly opposite of what you are proposing. >> yeah. it took a while to look around and find out that it was the end of the clinton administration. and what gets me is when there are so many reporters out there

who say mitt romney says it should be 4% but don't point out that when has that happened? and what were the circumstances? and again, i think it's a really dangerous thing -- and a really bad thing for the media when a claim is made by romney and a counterclaim is made by the democrats and that's all the viewers and listeners are hearing about. thank god for your show and others out there, that say let's report the facts. >> and thank god for you, and my producer is giving me the break sign and i have to ignore him. because i have to ask you about marriage equality. what do you think? >> my sense -- i think president probably privately feels he is

all in favor of quality. i think all of us support that. i would think politically right now the president is probably better serves waiting to take action. we're in this sort of environment where there's no reason that he needs to make that decision right now. i'm grateful that biden and others have done so but politically let's not have that discussion right now. >> ironically david shuster the more i spend time with you, i go from gay to questioning. >> i'm there. >> thank you david shuster. have a great week. >> hum!

remember that as soon as we get nearer and nearer to november, all of his records, everything he has wanted to do will stand out, and hopefully people will have their vails removed from their eyes and see the difference between obama and romney, and i don't know what romney's -- talk about the constitution being divinely inspired. >> yeah. >> what else is he going to do change the bible and say romney chapter 20:1 in there. >> exactly. exactly. just that exchange, the president going, so you saved the auto industry, really? >> i did it. >> me. >> let's dive into the right-wing world. >> we have not done that yet? >> we have not. >> we have had decades of economic policy for which we
