time now for tonight's "closing arguments." in a hastily assembled rose garden address today, president obama a cused senate republicans of holding his economic plan hostage. the president's bill would cut taxes for small businesses and he said his economic team is working on new strategies for growth. economists, however, say the problem now isn't policy, it's public insecurity. so tonight we wanted to ask you, does the president's plan measure up to this summer of dire numbers? if not, what can president obama do to put the economy back on course? tell us what you think at the "nightline" facebook page or at abcnews.com. and be sure to watch abc news coverage of the presidential address to the nation tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. eastern. we'll have full analysis of this

address on "nightline." one final note, dutch police today took two men off a chicago to amsterdam flight and charged them with, quote, preparation of a terrorist attack. luggage tied to the two men, ahmed al soofi and hezem al murisi contained what were termed mock bombs. it's not immediately clear where the two men were from. watch "good morning america" for the latest on this fast-breaking story. that's our report tonight. for all of us at abc news, good night, neck. america. everything you need to inflict shame on your competition. >> that is right, jimmy.

really be anywhere. it's a state of mind, if you will. i noticed today that the show isn't in hd, which is weird. it's in vd, this show. [ laughter ] [ rim shot ] but not in hd. this season, they brought angelina back. angelina was on the first season but got kicked out. and then, after she was kicked out, she bad-mouthed the other girls in interviews. so, naturally, mtv brought her back and surprised -- everyone is getting along really well. >> you want to go outside right now, we'll go right [ bleep ] outside. >> first of all -- >> put your [ bleep ] in my [ bleep ] face. you wanna take this outside? >> i'm trying to come back here with a fresh start. i'm trying to be classy right now. >> hold on. angelina -- >> [ bleep ] mosquito in my ear. just stop. >> all right. you're so annoying. >> you want to do this on me. >> you want to beat the [ bleep ] out of me? >> jimmy: they say women are from hoboken and men are from

trenton, you know? another big moment tonight, j-woww spilled a drink on sammie's clothes. i couldn't believe it, either. this is what we're watching. so, snooki rinsed the clothes off in the sink. >> oh, my god. >> it just collapsed. >> don't [ bleep ] with her shorts. >> i feel like a pilgrim right now. >> jimmy: she didn't say which '20s. could have been the 1620s, right? pilgrims. she came over on the sprayflower in -- [ laughter ] you may remember, some italian american groups were upset about the first season of "jersey shore" because they felt it depicted our people in a negative light. to me, it just depicts people in a negative light, but my aunt chippy is an italian american, she was not crazy about "the jersey shore" last year. this year, we forced her to watch it.

she's more open-minded this year, right, uncle frank? >> she is. she is. >> jimmy: here is aunt chippy with her review of tonight's big premiere. >> people who watch this, and i mean this with -- from the bottom of my heart -- you're sick bastards. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so, i guess she did not -- [ cheers and applause ] there were two major revelations about snooki in the episode. one, she has a boyfriend, which should last for two and a half weeks and, two, she's abandoned tanning beds and started spray tanning because, of all things, the new health care bill. >> that's it. that's perfect. >> i don't go spray tanning anymore because obama put a 10% tax on tanning. and i feel like he did that intentionally for us. >> jimmy: yes, yes, that's what he was thinking about. that and the new pickle tax,

were designed -- as if president obama has more important things to do than watch "the jersey shore." well, like, appear on "the view" this morning. it was the first time a sitting president has ever sat on a daytime talk show. and oprah was not pleased. i heard she threw a ming vase through a picasso this morning. and while the president was there, joy behar actually asked him about snooki. >> should snooki run as mayor of wasilla? >> i got to admit, i don't know who snooki is. >> you don't? >> i'm snooki, bitches! >> jimmy: they really should beef up security, because that should not be allowed to happen to the president. it was a very big morning on "the view." barbara walters made an appearance to conduct it, and the ladies were extremely excited the president was there. >> do you really think being on

the show with a bunch of women, five women who never shut up, is going to be calming? >> look, i -- i was trying to find a show that michelle actually watched. [ talking over each other ] >> an honor to have you. thank you. >> i had a wonderful time. >> jimmy: well, you know, they couldn't help themselves. i can't blame them. [ cheers and applause ] one of the things that the president revealed this morning was that he was not invited to chelsea clinton's wedding this weekend, which before anyone thinks it is a personal slight, remember, it's like 80 bucks a head. you can't invite everybody. security is very fight for this wedding. the faa ordered a no-fly zone over the area where the wedding is taking place, and the secret service has been ordered to shoot if bill gets within 15 feet of a bridesmaid, so -- [ laughter ]

meanwhile, do you remember president bush? president bush's memoir is set to come out. just in time for the upcoming midterm elections, and that has some republicans worried, because it may remind voters of president bush. one conservative columnist called the timing of the book release selfish and stupid, which coincidentally happens to also be the title of the book, available for preorder right now on amazon. this monday night, the season finale of "the bachelorette" is on abc. bachelorette ali will be forced to choose between alberto and chris. abc put out a press release that promises the result will be, quote, shocking. which, i mean, how shocking could it be? she either picks roberto or she picks chris or she picks neither one. what am i missing here? the only thing that will shock me is if in three months ali is still with the person she chose on the show. they just released a new promo

that, if it is to be believed, does promise a finale very different than any of the finales before it. >> monday on "the bachelorette," ali's heart-wrenching final decision. and roberto's startling revelation. >> i want to show you something. i'm actually a woman. >> abc's "the bachelorette." lesbians in love. monday on abc. >> jimmy: all right, now that's a twist. [ applause ] that's a twist. this is -- this is interesting. a new study from ucla found that 1 in 5 californians say they believe they could use some professional help for mental problems. and all of them said if the resources were limited, mel gibson can go ahead of them, so -- [ laughter ] today, what was called the final of the purported mel gibson tape series was released. he had a good run. this last message was allegedly left for his ex-girlfriend

oksana the day after he allegedly called her 30 times in one night and -- well, listen to this. >> oh, my god. just kidding, baby. just kidding. you've been punked. oh, my gosh, you should have seen your face. just messing with you, baby. i love you so much. bitch in heat? that was a good one. hilarious. oh, let's grab dinner, though, baby, okay? you and me. bye-bye. >> jimmy: all right. we've been -- [ applause ] oh, sugar tits, you got us again. big news today. ellen degeneres says she will not return to "american idol" this season. she said that after much thought, she realizes that it's terrible and she cannot sit through one more second of that crap, so -- [ applause ] if i was in charge, i would replace all the judges with three hungry dobermans trained

about, i need to know what the answers are, and, you know, like life, some of those answers you can't answer some of those questions, so, i think it ended really beautifully and it was spiritual and very moving. >> jimmy: speaking of beautiful and spiritual -- [ applause ] i agree with you, by the way. i'd like to talk about our relationship for a minute. >> okay. >> jimmy: now, this is a weird thing. and i promise, everything i'm going to tell you is true and you know all this stuff, but my first job on television, first thing i ever did was a promo for "party of five," your show. [ applause ] i did not meet you at that time. we didn't meet but it was a thing i did when you were on fox. and so that was the first thing i'd ever done. so then years later we met in hawaii, and i was a big fan of the show. i was very excited. we met there and we've known each other for five, six years, something like that. >> yeah. >> jimmy: so one night, we're talking, and we start talking about italy, your wife is from italy and my family is from italy and -- >> talking about pasta sauces and our moms, the type of pasta sauce they make. >> jimmy: exactly. or gravy, if you will. if you're from brooklyn. >> right. >> jimmy: and i said, where is

your family from in italy, and you said -- >> well, my family is from a small island off the coast of naples. >> jimmy: and i said, my family is from iskia, a small island off the coast of naples. >> and then you said, what was your mother's maiden name, and i said yakano. >> jimmy: we say akano, which is my mother's maiden name, also. which is strange. >> very, very bizarre. >> jimmy: and then i realized why -- i always wondered why i was so handsome, and i thought, oh, that's got to be -- that's what it is. [ applause ] >> you know? right. >> jimmy: i've been doing some ancestry research, and i have a chart now to show how and where we're related. now i'm going to go through this. now, first of all, we'll see here. let's start at the top. now, this is, like, your -- what is it, four great grandfathers.

yours is anielle iacono, and mine is guiseppe antonio iacono. three greats. saveri and michelangelo. you had a michelangelo in the family then. another giuseppe and another aniello. which seem to be the way it goes. there are only six names in italy. vincenzo and leonardo. this is our great-grand -- these are our great-grandfathers. that's my grandfather, sal iacono, and yours, loreto iacono. and now we see here where the connection starts. my grandfather was married to vivica a. fox, okay? they gave birth to my mom, joan fox iacono. my mom married jimmy dean sausage kimmel. and then they had me and i threw megan fox in there, because i thought it would be fun to have her at the reunion.

>> fantastic idea. >> jimmy: now the link between us, michael j. fox was my uncle or something, and then -- >> it's actually jimmy -- >> jimmy: the "j" stands for jimmy. there's your mom. we couldn't get a picture of her so we just put you in a wig. eventually it works out. when you go down, you have -- it turns out you're my great great-niece, once removed. so isn't that something? >> makes perfect sense. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and -- can i tell you -- this is a true weird thing. so, now, in iskia, this island, there have been many earthquakes on the island. and that's weird that there's an island, the "lost" island brought us together. in 1883, there was an earthquake that killed like 2,200 people, including most of my family. but guess what the date of that

earthquake was. today. july 29th. >> july 29th, 1883 -- >> jimmy: yeah. i mean, it didn't happen today. >> but on this day. >> jimmy: on the day we decided to go through the family tree, that's the day of the earthquake. >> that's strange. >> jimmy: what i'm saying is, make sure you have your emergency supplies. >> because it's coming. >> jimmy: isn't that weird? >> pretty weird. >> jimmy: now this is -- [ applause ] this is the whole thing, right? i mean -- have you seen this yet? >> i have. >> jimmy: this is pretty great. this is all the seasons on blu-ray and dvd, and it comes in this cool looking box and a lid with a map on it. this is -- >> and there's all kinds of crazy secrets inside this thing. it's like a puzzle and you have to go through it, clues lead to other clues and you find secret discs and secret scenes. >> jimmy: this is great. here's the game with the black rocks and the white rocks and a game board here.

and -- and a booklet and the game that jacob was playing with the man in black. i can't figure -- there it is. that's how it works. and then you've got -- you got this in here, a little light that's -- >> a black light. there's going to be clues revealed with black light when you shine black light on it. >> jimmy: it's good if you go to a motel and you want to check out the sheets. [ applause ] and there's -- there's a letter that has clues on it. and there's -- what is this? there's -- oh, this is an old jcpenney ad that you did. >> you've got to be kidding. >> jimmy: that's in all of them. and then, of course, all the dvds. and there are easter eggs on the dvds. and a 12-minute thing where hurley -- do you know about this? michael emerson, there's a 12-minute featurette --

>> there's extra scenes shot about what their life would have been like on the island with him being the new candidate and ben being his sidekick, yeah. >> jimmy: and we happen to have a clip from -- this is one of the easter eggs, and we're going to show you. this is not part of the ben and hurley thing, but this is -- well, take a look here. this is from the new "lost" complete series. dvd and blue ray. >> sandwich conversation on film right here, come on. >> the -- it has a certain, kind of like coming home from school at 3:00 in the afternoon quality. just cheese and mayonnaise on white bread. >> you're absolutely right. >> nice combination. >> it is a nice combination.

it's nostalgic. >> yes. >> jimmy: wow, that's -- [ applause ] matthew fox, everybody. hey, you better win an emmy this year. if you don't, shame on -- shame, shame, shame on you voters.
