they don't know how to get through this. >> lawrence, the only good news here, lawrence, is this is the not very many people are not paying attention. still, this is not a good thing to have happen. >> of all days of the campaign, this will be the day. would you want this to be the story july 5th. the day we're doing "morning joe." that would be the day. >> this is the highest ratingses day of the year. >> that's right. sam stein, the -- does the campaign just hope by next week we will be on to another subject? isn't that the basic bet they're making on the whole health care thing? >> yeah. i mean, keep in mind tomorrow we get the jobs report numbers for june. and, you know, you can make a guess that those are going to end the discussion of health care if they end up being as poor as last jobs report number. the conversation has a way of getting back to the major issues or the major issue, which is the economy, which i guess is what s.e.'s point was in the first place. the other thing i would like to point out though is the key part of the pehrnstrom's quote is, this is the position and

now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. >>> tonight, one of the presidential candidates stepped up to a microphone to address the problem of gun violence in america. guess which one. >> keep in mind, in politics, you have to endure a certain amount of spin. >> this is not your father's republican party. >> the president said that if you've got a business, crow didn't build it. >> i surely had to have misheard something. >> he did build this business. >> people omit entire sentences from a speech. >> they did build this business. >> taking my words about small business out of context -- >> i was so very disappointed to hear the words from president obama's roanoke speech. >> we have never had a july like this. >> there's no doubt that we've been tough. >> everybody does it. i understand that. that -- those are the games that are played. >> it's just different. >> potaboth candidates are bein hurt. >> mitt romney has used every trick in the book. >> how can we trust him to lead? >> i've concluded that it's not all that impactful. >> maybe taking a greater toll on mitt romn

. >> well, of course, everyone was polite, and as always, lawrence, thanks for having me. it's a tradition of the naacp, when it has this convention during a presidential election year, to invite both a democratic nominee and the republican nominee. and mitt romney was accepting, he did come. and it was very polite, up until the point, of course, when he mentioned obama care. and to many in the audience, obama care itself is still somewhat of a slur. that's not the name of the program. i know oftentimes as pundits, we use it loosely, but some people feel that's a negative term, even a pejorative term, and he was booed. he was actually applauded when he first came out. he got some other rounds of applause, because the -- and these are the very black leaders he claimed to have talked to on fox tonight. he brought about 20 black republicans with him into the room, and they kind of served as applauders for his applause lines. it was bizarre. i think a term you used was weird. he made several of the statements that were really strange. he even made other statements that many of

that is how this tradition got started. >> i think you studied logic in college, lawrence.y, thanks for what you're doing on gun sanity. i really appreciate it. if you look at what romney is saying, he's saying, i don't want the democrats to get hold of this because they will make something of it, which says there's something explosive in these tax returns. i think he's got a problem. if there weren't questions about his foreign accounts, and if he weren't pushing the sort of tax policies in the campaign, that he benefits from, and if he weren't very different from everyone else in his economic status, then maybe his tax returns wouldn't be an issue. but guess what, he's got every one of those problems. and that's why this issue just won't go away. and i don't think he'll be able to sit on them, and if he does sit on them, they'll stay an issue until the end of the campaign. >> and brian williams' follow-up question on this was all the more pointed after mitt romney's first answer. let's listen to that one. >> people hear, he's not going to release the rest of his returns,

now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. have a great night. >>> with 99 days to go in mitt romney's campaign to win the white house, without coming clean about his taxes, his latest answer about his taxes is as dirty as ever. >> four more years! four more years! >> ladies and gentlemen, my name is joe biden. >> this election's not about joe biden. this election really is about president obama and governor romney. >> this is not your father's republican party. >> i want to tell you what mitt romney is going to do. >> a fundamentally different set of priorities. >> mitt romney is that man. >> go back to the bush program except on steroids. >> don't tell me what you value. show me your budget, and i will tell you. >> was there ever any year when you paid lower than the 13.9%? >> i've tried to raise the issue. >> i'm happy to go back and look. >> you'd look for us? >> i haven't calculated that. i don't pay more than are legally due. only what the tax code requires. >> i think he's going to release another year. >> romney has fo
