good morning. i'm richard lui in today for chris jansing. we start with break news. a january surprise. more americans are getting jobs than experts had thought, beating estimates by 75%. 243,000 jobs were added last month, the most in nine months, and the unemployment rate inched down two more notches to 8.3%. that is the lowest point in nearly three years. anita dunn is a senior adviser to president obama. anita, good to see you. there's a lot of reasons for folks to celebrate across the country. manufacturing is spiking, all

ethnic groups also saw a spike in terms of getting more jobs. what do you expect the president to say when he speaks next hour? >> well, richard, thank you for having me on this morning. you know, i think there's much to celebrate. but there's still a great deal of work to do, and the president has been clear with the american people that the hole that was dug by the worst economic recession since the great depression was a deep one and that it's taking its time to get out of ichlt but we are moving in the right direction. this is the 23rd consecutive month of job growth in the private sector. and when you compare that with the over 4 million jobs that were lost the year before the president took office, it's really stunning. but we know we have a long way to go, and i expect you'll hear the president talk about the things we need to do to build an economy that lasts, the progress we've made, but the work we still have to do. >> yeah, yeah. and that comparison, we have a chart on that, anita. it does show how there's a long way to go. but this last month in january is a good jump. you can see here during the bush

administration versus the obama administration where those numbers were in terms of total folks employed. we get a small blip right now. but, you know, there are some issues to be considered as well. bill burton, for instance, tweeting this, quote, somewhere on the campaign trail mitt romney is depressed that more employers did not take part in the joy of firing people last month, end quote. now, mitt romney is running on his experience as a businessman, as you heard, turning the economy around, is what he's been saying. does he still have an argument? >> well, all of the republicans are fundamentally running on a platform that says we should go back to the policies that, quite frankly, created our economic downturn to begin with. and i think whoever it is, whether it's mitt romney or newt gingrich or rick santorum or the republican leadership in the house have been unremittingly negative about the economy and really have based their entire attack on the president on the idea that we should go back to the policies that created the

problems. the president has created -- has offered the american people a very different choice here, which is an economy that's built to last, not one that goes from bubble to bubble, that depends on these little spikes but one built on manufacturing, on revietsallized middle class, on really moving this country forward. so i think he's a little depressed. >> can you talk, on this point here, the corner offices all across the country have said the relationship with the white house hasn't been good. is this a good indication that the things are getting better, that the corner offices are feeling good and will continue to hire? >> you know, i can't speak to the relationship that the corner offices may or may not feel. i can speak to what the administration has done to help the american people and american businesses. the tax cuts for small businesses to encourage them to invest, the work that they've done on an exported agenda to help american companies sell their products overseas, and the your all policies they put in place for investment and encouraging companies to invest in american workers and in the

american economy right here. and thing that we're starting to see those earths to pay off. again, the 23rd consecutive month of private sector job growth and really some evidence here that we're starting to move in the right direction. >> and, anita, i know you hate these sorts of questions. i'm going to ask you anyway. 23 months. let's look forward about ten months. what's the unemployment rate going to be in november, the key re-election date for the president? >> oh, richard, i won't predict unemployment rates anymore. >> i won't tell anybody, i promise. >> it's our secret, right? >> no. i think what's true in november and what's true today is there are two very different choices facing the -- that the candidates are going to present to the american people. one of them the precedence, which is an economy that we build on manufacturingin, on revitalizing the middle class, encouraging children to compete. and then to go back to policies

that dug a deep hole that shed jobs when president bush was in office. in november, i think that's a choice the american people will be asked to make. >> anita dunn, thank you for your time. joining me, jon ralston and r.t. let me start with you, r.t. you heard anita dunn and how they're still necessarily -- they're concerned about how far they have to go. what's your take on this? >> well, the reality is we had a president who inherited an economy in the tank. hi took tough bold moves by helping the economy which made a billion more cars which mitt romney would have let tank. the president's also connecting that to other things like in nevada where people have huge challenges with their homes. he's focused on getting banks to the table. if banks were bailed out, banks

should help homers stay in their homes, especially responsible borrowers. connecting all these things together. >> mayor, you're right. that's certainly one concern. home values, foreclosures. jon let me move to you. the mayor talking about nevada. they're facing the highest unemployment rate 1r, 12.6% rig now. how is that going to play on saturday, and for that matter, november? >> well, i think that's barack obama's biggest problem is the economy in nevada ads you pointed out. 12.6%. sounds pretty high. guess what? it was almost three points higher than that a couple of years ago. it's still

mitt romney says let the foreclosure process go to tend and the whole free market ethos is a problem. they want to know what the government is going to do to help. they don't want to hear let the free market reign. >> so you think there's an opportunity for the gop candidates to take on that message in the way voters would care about more and understand. also, before we get to you, mayor, bring up a point or discus discussion that you had yesterday. you brought up the discussion with mitt romney and his verbal gaffe when he said i'm not concerned about the poor. let's play the clip of you speaking to him. >> jon, wit was a misstatement. i misspoke. i said something that was quite acceptable for a long time.

when you do thousands of interviews, now and then you may get it wrong and i misspoke. >> so he admitted to you, jon. do you think it's over or does this narrative of romney being out of touch continue? >> well, my guess is, michael, that when the democrats and the prezzal campaign play that clip of mitt romney talking about the very poor, they won't play the clip from my program where he said he misspoke and made a misstatement. you know, you can't unring the bell in this world of the internet and youtube and political ads. listen, i was fairly surprised when i did the interview when he came out with that. clearly his campaign, clearly his campaign told him, listen, this is not good for the general narrative of mitt romney, especially, guess what? a few minutes before he did what? got endorsed by donald trump. >> speaking of which. speaking of which. exactly, jon. i'll move to r.t. here. it was definitely las vegas all over. donald trump coming out, endorsing mitt romney. he had the nice pomp and

circumstance. in fact, let's play a little bit of that. >> mitt is tough, he's smart. he's not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country that we all love. so, governor romney, go out and get them. you can do it. >> thank you. there are some things that you just can't imagine happening in your life. >> so, r.t., the dnc coming up pretty quickly with that ad looking how a billionaire was endorsing a millionaire in so many words. pretty interesting job these days? >> mitt romney is not making gafs. he's telling us what he believes and he's completely out of touch with the american people. ite knows coincidence that the president came out with work on the foreclosure prevention. he's been doing that since he took office and inherited the economy in the tank. i can point to my city and cities around the country who are in their homes because of president obama. he sai

mitt romney said, quote/unquote, let it work itself out. we need a president who's really going to stand up from day one and that's what the president has done, and we don't need to go to the bad old days that donald trump and mitt romney have done well at but the rest of america need as president who's going to stay with them. >> minneapolis mayor r.t. rybak, always great to see you and jon ralston as well. thank you. >> richard, sorry for screwing up your name. i need more coffee. >> you can call me michael any time. >> i need more coffee. >> a strong report from the secretary of defitness. israel is considering attacking iranian nuclear sights. let's get right to chief correspondent richard enzbel. he's live in tel aviv. richard, what's the time line you're hearing at this moment? >> reporter: this is a theoretical time line and i think the goal of the estimate of the defense secretary is to

push back the timeline. u.s. officials, particularly pentagon officials, have been telling nbc news they are increasingly worried that israel might carry out a unilateral strike on iran's nuclear sites sometime in the spring. when exactly is a subject of debate. obviously it would be a secret unannounced attack, but people have been talking about april, may, perhaps june or july. and the united states has been saying to israel, don't do this, allow international sanctions to work and don't provoke a regional crisis, which could become a global crisis and certainly an economic crisis with the price of barrel of oil going according to one analyst we spoke to from $200 a barrel to pick a number. >> wow. and, richard, you're also traching this story. you're hearing two americans were kidnapped in egypt. is the state department still working to confirm their citizenship. what can you tell us about that?

>> reporter: we've been told two americans, and their identities were confirmed by hotel management, so the state department would probably have better information than the hotel managers, but we're told five americans were initially stopped oen the road in the sinai while they were traveling between the st. katherine's monastery and the resort area, the diving area of shar mel sheikh, and as they were traveling they were stopped by local bedouins. two americans were taken along with their tour guide and the local police chief in sinai is trying to get all the different tribal leaders, bedouin tribal leaders together and work out some negotiated settlement. the good news is the police chief says he has been in touch with the major tribal leaders, including, we believe, the tribes that are holding these americans, but no word if they have been released. it is not -- or it does not appear, however, to be a kind of

al qaeda situation when tribes tend to kidnap people across the arab world, they usually want something in exchange from the government. they want money, they want their own tribesmen released from prison. it's not usually a political statement. >> chief foreign correspondent richard enzbel. thank you. denver's getting blasted this morning by a major winter storm. about 200 flights have been canceled at denver international and parts of interstate 70 and 25 also closed there. the weather channel's mike seidel is in for us for the latest. he's in englewood, colorado. >> reporter: hey, rich armed finally some winter weather in the lower 48. -- hey, richard, finally some winter weather in the loyer 48. a few spots. along with seattle and midland, texas. this is the auto ramp. i-25 northbound going into denv denver. you can see they're taking it nice and easy, crawling up the

ramp. it's not but plowed. snow packed and snow-covered. i think a lot of folks have thrown in the towel saying let 's make it a three-day weekend. last night they decided to make it a snow day today. out at the airport, big-time cancellations, richard. nearly 450 flights have been canceled. out of a total of 1,700, that's a pretty good chunk. delays getting out or in are averaging two hours ago. a full complement of snow plows across the area. the only downside on the storm it's the plains and the foothills. in fact, some of the foothills west of boulder have seen over two feet of snow with snowfall rates over 2 inches an hour. but once you get over the continental divide, the snow pretty much cuts off, richard. that means most of the ski resorts will miss out on this big dump of powder, and it's's powdery with temperatures in the 20s. >> the divide continues to grow

over the decision from the susan g. komen race to pull funding for planned parenthood. the latest details and fallout straight ahead. [ rosa ] i'm rosa and i quit smoking with chantix.

when the doctor told me that i could smoke for the first week... i'm like...yeah, ok... little did i know that one week later i wasn't smoking. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix is proven to help people quit smoking. it reduces the urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, tell your doctor if you have new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. it helps to have people around you... they say, you're much bigger than this.

and you are. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

i'm steaming over this. how dare they. >> that is just such disturbing and discouraging news. >> it's really awful. they should be ashamed of themselves. >> donations are pouring in to planned parenthood in response to this firestorm created after the susan g. komen foundation cut off grants to planned parenthood. new york's mayor michael bloomberg sent out this tweet lat last night. he's pledged to dough nats a

quarter of a million. the amy and lee fieks foundation is also donating $250,000. that's on top of $400,000 in new pledges from thousands of donors. meanwhile the komen foundation has seen hundreds of thousands of dollars donations on their part. joy, always good to see and talk with you. >> good to be here. >> is this political? >> i think it's inherently political. susan g. komen foundation made it political. karen handel is not only anti-abortion and anti-contra exception. when you bring something into your -- >> they're saying it's not. >> i'm saying it's absolutely political. it's been a central tenet.

now when they bring in this women and concurrently suddenly defund one organization. >> i want to play some of the response from nancy brinker. she's the founder of the susan g. komen foundation. let's take a listen. >> it's a miss kacharacterizati. this was decided at the board level and also by our mission. many of the grants we were doing with plant parenthood do not meet new standards of criteria for how we can measure our results and effective in in communities. >> so, joy, we've heard two reasons. either way, does any of this play better for critics? >> no, i don't thing it helps. the atlantic has done terrific reporting on this. what they reported is the board was looking for a way to

extricate itself afrom planned parenthood because they were being pressured. >> they were debating both sides, and in the end, according to the article, they thought that the hit for making this choice, which has been made, would be less, right? >> right. i mean if you think about it, they fund some 200,000 organizations. they're funding penn state, which as we all know is under investigation, the scandal over the abuse of young chirp. they're not defunded. only one entity of the 2,000 different grantees gets defunded and it happens to be the same one the religious right has been going after all this time? i think women are not going to stand for ichlt think the explanations are migrating and not -- >> the komen foundation is saying that's not going to be affected. joy-ann reid. wish we had more time. again, we'll be seeing michael bloomberg talking with andrea mitchell at 1:00 p.m. again, he's saying he'll give

$250,000 at the moment for planned parenthood. we want to know what you thing about this issue too. please send us a tweet and weigh-in. is this political or the komen board forcing an organizational board policy. tweet us @jansingco. we'll be right back. hello! honey? who's she? downy unstopables. here to shake up your fresh. like a cheerleader on espresso. toss these little scent boosters in before you wash. and the fresh scent will last until you're ready to wash again.

[ male announcer ] and to fight your allergy symptoms fast, try new alka-seltzer plus allergy. well senate democrats are following up on the president's state of the eun down. we'll be getting to that very, very shortly. first i want to start with this.

this is the issue of endorsements. mitt romney, for instance, playing the trurp card yesterday. in that he stood next to donald trump at one of his las vegas casinos to get the real estate mogul turned reaelt star's endorsement. watch this. >> thank you, donald. okay. that was what happened yesterday. joining us right now, maggie hagerman and damien drugge egern trump calls and says i'd like to endorse you, first of all, can you say no and from what you saw on the video, did romney really want on the endorsement? >> i think the only thing worse than getting endorsement was not getting endorsement based on the handshake. i think donald trump does speak to the grass roroots of the par.

he has a large media meg phone. the last thing you want is donald trump going on tv and trashing you. i don't think mitt romney is going to be touting his endorsement. i don't think he's going to be doing much with it. >> david, you know, let me ask you this. better endorsement, trump for romney or herman cain for newt gingrich? >> well, i think neither actually helps either candidate, but i think for mitt romney, this was all about suffocating the former speaker. it's not something they necessarily wanted and could do without. if it's a matter of endorsing mitt romney or newt gingrich, giving the speaker a little bit of air to do something to try to change the momentum, that i were happy to take the endorsement because they got a "you're fired" headline out of it on drudge from the speaker, and i

think they really want to put him away once and for all, because if he comes back again, it will be like comeback number four, and that's just what they don't want. >> for romney, maggie, will this hurt him later on if he does become the nominee and during the general. you can see the fired fired lines going together. >> i think it's certainly something the democrats are making hay of. newt gingrich is also making hay of it. but i think the democrats have clearly decided to put the "you're fired" guy with "i like to fire" people. i think when you're mitt romney, they do. donald trump is not an established endorsement. he helps mitt romney with the other side of the party which is the nonestablishment seconds. i think he's happy to have him not endorsing newt gingrich. >> that news psych sl is so important. >> absolutely. >> you know, david, we can't

forget the key endorsement in 2008, the kennedys not picking the clinton. >> that was huge, but i think that 2008 was a different year. and, of course, that was in the democratic primary. if you look at republicans and conservatives this time around, especially coming out of 2010, the establishment is out. i've talked to some republican lawmakers on capitol hill who joked that in terms of the candidate they preferred, if it would help them to go out and badmouth that candidate, they would do that. endorsements tend not to sway votes. what they tend to help with is fund-raising and maybe a grassroots effort that the candidate may be able to provide for the candidate of his choice. >> how active are we on the ground basically as a surrogate is what you're saying. >> no. look. i think there are some candidates that might help or they help in terms of keep supg port away from your opponents. when nikki haley endorsed mitt romney in december, it didn't

turn out to help him in south carolina but she endorsed him at ta time when newt gingrich was surging. so it helped at least prevent the idea that newt gingrich was going to be the candidate of the conservatives. but when it came time for votes, it didn't help. somebody it might help, senator marco rubio because of the credibility he has in the pea party or republicans in general. that could help. otherwise it's hard to say that a particular endorsement is going to make a difference on the ground. >> quickly, one person, rubio. would you agree as well, maggie? >> rubio. >> maggie, thank you so much. david as well. >> any time. >> you bet. the final countdown to super bowl xlvi, it's under way. less than two days. look at that. seven hours, 50 minutes, 12 seconds. we'll all counting down the days. mandy drury of cmbc nbc is hereh what's moving your money.

he here's gresham, our line producer. so could this be affecting some productivity? >> i would say yeah. after all, we're all chatting about it, setting up office pools, planning parties. consulting firm challenger made crack at it. they estimate that employers lost $1 million in wasted work during the week leading up to last year's super bowl weekend. so taking into can't that 111 million americans watched the game last year, the firm used average employment and wage figures to estimate that american employers lost $205 million for, get this, every ten minutes that employees spent talking, yakking about the super bowl. that doesn't count all the people who call in sick the next day, right? >> exactly. like, whoops. partied a little bit too much.

my executive producer is working hard but jazzed up the super bowl. spirit is an ultra low cost carrier and is tacking on a $2 charge on the ticket says the government made them do it. they say it's the department of transportation's unintended consequence. in other words, a response to a new rule that allows passengers to change their minds within 24 hours of booking a trip without paying a penalty. spirit says that forces it to hold spaces for travelers who may not end of flying. what does the transportation secretary ray lahood says? he says, quote/unquote rather than coming up with new fees, airlines should provide on providing fair and transparent service. that's what our commonsense rules are designed to do. they're not amused. >> i should say not. packers or giants. i said parkeret. patriots. >> giants. i can be neutral. >> all right. mandy drury, thank you so much.

>> see you later. senate democrats are following up on the president's state of the eun kron call to level the playing field when it comes to taxes. a bill has been introduced that would impose the buffett rule. very good to see you. how will this work, senator? >> good to see you, richard. let me start by responding to your last guest by saying patriots. >> okay. good call. your favorite by three. that's the way it works. >> the wait work, there are a lot of very, very high income americans who actually end up paying a lower tax rate than regular working americans, tens of millions paying lower. this would create a minimum level of tax rate below what the nominal rate is, which is 35%. >> what would that rate be? >> 30% minimum. 30% minimum. >> 30% minimum. >> for income over a million dollars. >> senator, as you're well aware, critics say this will

affect so few people that you've got to raise taxes in the middle, the middle class if you want to make a deficit. which this is all aimed to do, isn't it? >> this is aimed to do a couple of things. first it will raise tens of billions of dollars toward the deficit. but the other thing it will do is assure americans that they're getting a fair deal, that the tax code isn't rigged against them in favor of special interests and people who have the power to influence washington and drive down their own tax rate to lower what ordinary middle americans pay. think it's important when we engage in the tax reform debate that we start with the proposition that the tax system should be fair and americans should be treated as well or better than the wealthy. in theory, they're supposed to pay more, not less. >> there's also the idea that's been floated out there when you look at dividends and capital gains and how they are taxed, why don't you just have them all taxed the same way, the same

ra rate. >> i think we may end up getting there. that's the way it's been in the past. i think it makes a lot of o sense. this, in effect, does that for the high income people who are taking advantage of that tax rate because that's the biggest loophole that allows people with multi-million-dollar annual incomes to pay these lower tax rates. >> and that's legal. governor mitt romney takes advantage of that. but that's the way the legal system is. >> warren buffett takes advantage of it. they show on average 18% tax rate that's used very widely by very high income earners. >> so this is a tough one. do you think you can get the republicans to go along with you on this? >> yeah, i think we can. i talk about this a lot with people here in rhode island and people of many political persuasions in rhode island are engaged in this. it really doesn't matter where you come from. everybody agrees the tax code should be fair. so that create as strong base.

and if people in america think this is important and let their representatives know that they think it's important, thing we can pass this bill. tammy baldwin is other on the house side. she's put in legislation. two of us are going to be working together to get it passed in both houses. at the end of the year, there's going to be a big legislative effort to get a pass on bush tax cuts. if not on its own, there's a big tax package that addresses the end-of-the-year issues. >> senator whitehouse, enjoy the super bowl. a court awarded heather over $9,000 after being mislead that her hybrid could get 50 miles to a gallon. the decision was called a unrad cat and unprecedented law.

they're vowing to appeal that decision. [ male announcer ] this is your moment. this is zales, the diamond store. take an extra 10 percent off storewide now through sunday.

[ foreman ] so i can trust 'em. unlike randy. dollar for dollar, nobody protects you like allstate. okay... is this where we're at now, we just eat whatever tastes good? like these sweet honey clusters... actually there's a half a day's worth of fiber in every ... why stop at cereal? bring on the pork chops and the hot fudge. fantastic. are you done sweetie? yea [ male announcer ] fiber beyond recognition. fiber one. hey, i love your cereal there-- it's got that sweet honey taste. but no way it's 80 calories, right? no way. lady, i just drive the truck. right, there's no way right, right? have a nice day. [ male announcer ] 80 delicious calories. fiber one.

babies may be using more than just their ears to learn to speak. according to a new study, after babies start babbling, they focus on the speaker's mouth to lip read. this stage of development, which starts from about 6 months of age and continues to about 10 months, helps babies master the basic features of language. hi, everybody. good morning. i'm thomas roberts. in the next hour of msnbc, another big drop in unemployment to 8.3%. we're going to have the president speaking live during our hour, unveiling a new plan for unemployed vets. >> well, going vegas style. sin city's on voting deck with mitt romney holding a trump card. is nevada his for the taking.

and then an eye on israel, fears that israel could attack iran in the next few months to put a stop to iran's nuclear program. how will the u.s. respond? we'll talk about that and a whole lot more at the top of the hour. richard. >> looking forward to that. anticipation is building for the super bowl on sunday night on nc. craig melvin has the latest. it's a tough workout there. >> reporter: tough work indeed, my friend. 300,000. that's the number of people who will descend on indianapolis this weekend. now about 72,000 of them will actually go into lucas oil stadium behind me for the big game on sunday. do the market richard lui. that means there are a lot of people hanging out on the streets of indy. we've got giants fans, patriots fans. we've naturally got a lot of colts fans as well. the problem at this point is the stadium experience on sunday has really become an event for the 1%. that's because the average super bowl ticket price right now --

we checked this morning -- average ticket price, $3,905. a lot of folks can't afford that. those that do are going to have to put up with intense security. taser, viper teams patrolling the streets, teching tour buses. teams are also sweeping and searching for unusual radiation sources as well. we're told this is going to be the most secure place outside the white house come sunday. it is also perhaps going to be the most rocking place as well, my friend. madonna, of course, doing the halftime entertainment. we learn she's going to have nicki minaj with her and cee lo green. she's going to be doing at least three of her old songs, one of her new hits. i know you're a big madonna fan and i'm sure that excites you. 111 million people. that's the number of viewers that they had last year, the largest tv audience for any event in the history of

television. they are expected, expecting to surpass that this year with, of course, two big teams, boston -- two major markets. >> it's going to be big, my friend. nbc's craig melvin. thank you so much. and have fun. >> reporter: we'll do it. all right. i'm joined now by new york senator chuck schumer and new hampshire senator jeanne shaheen. what i like about this, senators, is that the bet is about beer. senator sheheen, what's at shake for you here? >> we think we brew a lot of wonderful beer in new hampshire, and so we're delighted with the idea that senator schumer is going to pay for that beer to treat all of the senators when the patriots win on sunday. >> somehow i think senator schumer, through his smile there is saying it might be the other way around. and so what kind of beer is at stake coming from new york?

>> we have a great my crow brewery. this is coming across the whole country. that's why jeanne and i thought it was a great event. we have brooklyn beer, let's not forget saranac up in utica. so we have a great brews, and when the giants beat the patriots, jeanne is going to be nice enough to serve those beer os to all the senate and they'll start buying them and it will help jobs in new york. >> that's great. we'll focus on jobs by buying beer is what you're saying. senators, the lines are changing. are you giving the humble senator from new york by your side any points in this? >> no, of course not. you know, we see this as an opportunity to get even for 2007 and also to bring the trophy back for the kraft family. as you know, bob kraft, one of

the nicest men in football lost his wife myra in the last year, and so the patriots have been playing for her all season, and this is a chance to bring that super bowl trophy home, to recognize myra and the kraft family. >> that love for the perfect season. the "new york post" is saying this right now. it's about gisele, tom brady's wife saying, please pray for my husband leading the pats on. they're saying not prayer for the pats, senator schumer? not a prayer? >> a prayer, but not too much that they win. we hope they're not injured and they're good sports. we think they probably will be. tom brady, he's a great quarterback, but he made fun of mr. gronkowski's hometown of buffalo, so we've urged mr. gronkowski to drop a pass or two in retaliation. >> not going to happen, chuck, not going to happen. >> you're not the only ones betting out there, senators. we've also got john kerry and

kristin gill brand. i'm wondering how common these bets are between fellow lawmakers. sounds pretty good and tasty. >> we could have a whole meal in the senate based on these bets. that's what we're counting on. >> beer is much healthier for you than cheesecake or clam clouder. >> and more fun. >> more fun. >> ted kennedy had a bet with me. when the yankees beat him in the afc playoffs, he was supposed to hold the yankee pennant over his head and recite "casey at the bat." he call and said do i have to hold the banner, and i let him off the hook. >> great stories. best of luck to you and both of your teams, of course. >> take care. >> whether you're a patriots fan or giants fan, he's ooh a super bowl story you can get on board

with. he was diagnosed with bone cancer and doctors told him he may lose a leg and never walk again but he fought through chemotherapy and returned to play his final season with b.c. he was signed with the giants last july and will now play in the super bowl. today's tweet of the day comes from herzlich saying, quote, in every situation you have a choice to take a positive outlook or a negative one. why not smile. in case you didn't know already by the way, the super bowl airs sunday on nbc and will be streamed live for the first time ever on ms msnbc.com. what is? now, in every box of general mills big g cereal, there's more whole grain than any other ingredient. that's why it's listed first. get more whole grain than any other ingredient... just look for the white check.
