listerine cleans virtually your entire mouth. so what are you waiting for? it's time to take your mouth to a whole new level of health. listerine... power to your mouth. breaking news right now on "news nation." komen caves. the susan g. komen foundation changing its decision to to funding planned parenthood and issues a big joe to the thousands of outraged supporters who vowed to never donate again p. will iran strike in the next few months. new comments by leon panetta who was asked at what point the u.s. may get involved. we'll have more on what an israel strike would mean for the u.s. romney in reverse.

>> i misspoke. >> now that mitt romney is tried to back peddle off his shocking comment regarding the very poor, will conservatives who slammed him be very forgiving. super sunday, we're live in indianapolis with a big preview of the game. the super bowl will be live streamed over the internet. we cannot forget about the big ads. a sneak peek at some of the tv ads you'll see before sunday. i'm tamron hall. the "news nation" is following big breaking news right now. an about face and stunning apology from the susan g. komen foundation. they said we want to apologize to the american public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives.

we will amend the criteria to make sure disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive and nature and not political. in a statement, planned parent hood responded by saying we are grateful they have clarified its grant making criteria and we look forward to continuing our partnership with komen partners and volunteers. the komen foundation saw the light. >> the decision by the susan g. komen foundation to reverse their decision about planned parenthood just goes to show you when women speak out, women win. women's health has a big victory this morning. >> joining me now lisa myers. you were one of the first on this story reporting details from both sides. like i know, many people wondering how long it would take for the foundation to change its

course after the out outrage on the first day. >> i think they were stunned by the level of outrage. the ceo of planned parenthood gives credit to social media and to all the women, including people who had been to planned parenthood in the past who went on websites and twitter and you tube and spoke out for reversing this decision. within the last hour, the ceo of komen has a conference call wl affiliates around the country. some affiliates had publicly spoken out against the policy. we spoke to one of affiliate directors, and she said she views the statement put out today as a complete reversal. if you read the fine point, there does seem to be a little wiggle room, but the people on that call were left with the impression that the situation of planned parenthood would go back to where it was before the new

rules were instituted at the end of the year. >> you mentioned a bit of wiggle room. i know this conference call took place around 1:00 p.m. eastern time were they were explaining where they stand. what is the possible wiggle room. might we see this battle brew up again? >> i think it's unlikely we'll see this battle brew up again. i can't imagine that komen would want to revisit this issue on any level. the wiggle room is that one of justifications that komen had given for taken this money away from planned parenthood is much of the money was pass through money. money that went to planned parenthood that they provided to other providers for giving the actual care and komen argued we can't measure outcomes that effectively. there's nothing in the statement today about that argument but, again, it's hard to believe that komen would take the risk of not just completely resuming its

full partnership with planned parenthood. >> thank you very much. the "news nation" is following another story. growing concerns israel will attack iran over its nuclear program. l leon panetta sidestepped by responding that all u.s. options are on the table. according to u.s. officials panetta believes there's a strong possibility israel will attack iran in the coming months possibly as early as april. also iran supreme leader rathched up tensions. he warned iran would not yield to to international pressure. washington post columnist david

joins us. we know the secretary did not deny the report. the information in your report. give me a little more insight into the debate between a strike and whether or not sanctions and a unified front against the u.s. why isn't that seen as an option that could work the sanctions? >> well, i think the u.s. is arguing strongly to israel that the program of internationally economic sanctions is having an effect that is really squeezing iran and that the military strike option is not wise. it's not in the interest of the united states or in our judgment, israels. what i reported in my column is that according to u.s. officials secretary panetta and others have believed that despite these american warnings, there's a strong likelihood that israel

will decide to attack. the time frame is over the next several month, april, may, june is what i said in my column. this is cause for real concern. i should stress, according to my sources, no decision has been made yet by israeli prime minister to take military action. there is a feeling that he will decide to do it. >> david, in your column you point out that he does not want to leave the fate of israel dependent on american action. many intrigued by the line that israel does not want to be dependent on american action. >> yes. let me try to explain this. the u.s. trigger for action, the u.s. red line, if you will, is evidence that iran is

constructing a nuclear we. weapon. we have no evidence they have crossed that line. they say if you wait that long, it's too late. their argument is iran enters what they call a zone of immunity when it will be impossible to strike, and take away the elements that you would use to make the bomb. that's why they say a different timetable from the u.s. they have a different red line or a different threshold for action. the u.s. military capabilities are so much greater than those of israel, that it would be possible for the u.s. to wait longer because it has more fire power once it decides to act. israeli fire power is limited. >> thank you, david, for your time. joining me now bob windrum. what happens if it does take

place in. >> i think the first question is whether it succeeds or not and at what level. one thing that is critical and david has reported this as well, is that this is not plan to destroy the iranian nuclear program. this is plan to slow it. something to essentially tell it will iranians we can do this, we can keep doing this, and we will keep you at bay. the question is what happens if it fails? i think that is something the usual officials are concerned about because they all know if it does fail, the israelis will be raising their hand and asking us for help and also the saudis may be raising their hand and saying can you help us. >> let's follow the story line of if it does fail, we know we are entering a general election soon. this president has been criticized saying he's not loyal to israel despite proof

otherwise, this all has to come into play with whatever decision the united states follows, i would imagine. >> one thing that some diplomats in the middle east fear is this will take place at a time when optimum time politically, we are in the middle of an election campaign and at that point the politicians will go forward and try to vie among themselves for who can be most supportive of israel and that could affect a decision on the u.s. military action. >> all right. bob, thank you very much. new job numbers out today. unemployment is at the lowest level in three years. the nation's unemployment rate fell from 8.5 to 8.3%. the labor department reports a much larger than expected, 243,000 jobs were added. speaking in arlington, virginia, president obama cautioned the unemployment numbers could still go up and down. he also sent a warning to

congress. >> i want to send a clear message to congress. do not slow down the recovery that we're on. don't muck it up. >> john harwood joins us now. he made comments regarding vets and helping the men and women returning home from war. let's talk about the response from the gop regarding this drop in the unemployment rate. >> reporter: republicans have been defensive if their response to it. mitt romney said we welcome these numbers. the president is still blocki i what he called a true long term economic recovery. the speaker said the president's policies haven't worked as advertised. note, that's different from saying they haven't worked, which is what the previous republican message has been. you can change the dynamic. numbers like this lift the president, give him more leverage, make it easier for him at a time when he doesn't need

much from congress to go after them and republicans have got to work harder to squiconvince the american people that the president's policies aren't the right answer. they still have a good answer because 8.3 rate is still high. many americans think things are not going great, but better is a lot better than stuck in the water. >> absolutely. thank you very much. coming up. >> it was a misstatement. i misspoke. >> damage control mitt romney back peddling after coming under big fire for saying i'm not concerned about the very poor. plus, a third day of violence in egypt and what happened to two american tourists who were kidnapped. this picture of governor jan brewer in tarmac tiff with president obama . we know it made headlines last week. this week some of her critics say she might be the next scott

now to decision 2012. it's all about the economy and apparently attacking president obama today. mitt romney. less from 24 hours from the nevada caucus. he held a business round table earlier today where romney said the recovery has been slower than it should have been and that president obama has not helped process. governor romney continues to back peddle over his comment two days ago that he was not very concerned about the very poor. in a new interview, romney said it was just a simple mistake. >> i misspoke. i've said something that is similar to that, but quite acceptable for a long time. you know when you do, i don't know how many thousands of

interviews, now and then you may get it wrong, and i misspoke. >> john is reporter who was speaking with mitt romney. elizabeth krum is back with us today. thank you for join ing us. john, talk to me about what his tone was like. it seemed he was getting so much pressure especially from conservatives that he had to go this route. >> i think you're right. i was surprised by his answer. previously, as you know he said he had been taken out of context. to go from taken out of context to saying that he misspoke, it was a misstatement, clearly his campaign said you got to get this off the table as quickly as possible. you're getting a lot of blow back. it's contributing to a very detrimental narrative that you're out of touch. the democrats were all over it p i think he needed to say i didn't mean what i said. you do all these interviews, it

can happen. >> elizabeth, we know the line that folks like to use is they were taken out of context. sometimes that is true. when you look at the number of days he waited to come back out and tell john, or anybody that he misspoke, and even today rick santorum is hitting him hard on this poor comment again saying mitt romney said he doesn't care about the poor. that's not the republican party i want to belong to. in the event mitt romney gets this nomination, all you need is for the dnc or any super pac supporting the president to take rick santorum and all these other conservatives and line them up slamming mitt romney for this comment. they are doing the work for the obama re-election campaign. >> yeah. i feel bad for mitt romney at times. he's taken it from all sides right now. to be fair to him, i think john was the first reporter to ask him about the comments. >> that's not accurate.

hang on. on a one-on-one, yes, john was the only reporter, but following that our on campaign embed andrew and i believe peter alexander. i know we played sound where he was asked, he said he was taken out of context. he did have an opportunity. since when do you have to wait on someone to ask you something to try to clarify it? elizabeth. >> i guess that's fair criticism. john is notorious for being able to get politicians to go off script and say things we don't always expect. kudos to him to get romney to try to back down off of those comments. interesting what romney had to say about foreclosures saying he thought the mortgages needed to do its work and we need to let things hit bottom.

he really didn't back off of that. he just spun it in a different way and he said we need to allow the economy to improve and that will drive housing values up. >> john, any big surprises out of nevada that we can expect tomorrow? >> i do think that romney is going to win, tamron. i think people underestimate the potential for ron paul to do better than he has shown. >> as i mentioned, we were about to lose john. i apologize for the technical difficulty. we still have elizabeth with us. are you there? >> i sure am. i'll jump in and finish john's thought. i completely agree that we should not count ron paul out. there are a couple of polls show him coming in third. the polls are showing gingrich at 20 to 25%. i'm not sure that's accurate or we can depend on that. it's a difficult number to poll

for caucus. ron paul has been working extremely hard. been having some huge rallies here in nevada. i'm sure that every one of his supporters will show up. newt gingrich should not count his second place win here just yet. >> thank you. we appreciate it. thank you so john. we'll see what happens tomorrow. a massive snowstorm is bearing down on colorado and making its way east. hundreds of flights have been cancelled. we'll get the latest on the storm. are you ready for some football? for the first time ever, you'll be able to watch the super bowl live online. we have live report coming up from indianapolis. details on president obama's super bowl plans. why there's no big party this year at the white house.

we want to get the latest from iran now on concerns that israel will launch an attack very soon to stop iran's nuclear program. ali arouzi joins us live by phone. a fiery address was delivered today speaking that israel could strike very soon. >> reporter: that's right. he gave a fiery speech warning israel and the united states not to attack. he said if they did attack iran it would be devastating. he warned that huge crowds that were out there. for people to be vigilant and be on their guard. their election is coming up on the second of march. they said that enemy is trying to disrupt the election. there are constant warnings

going on here. we never heard a fiery remarks so come from the israeli side. >> all right. ali live for us in tehran. developing news out of egypt. violence is rerupting around the country for a second straight day. more than 1,500 injured. tear gas is being fired to break up rock throwing protesters. the unrest is a response to failures by police to contain a vicious soccer riot. 70 people were killed on wednesday. two american tourists were allowed to go free after they were kidnapped at gunpoint near a popular tourist destination. let's start were the latest on the americans who were kidnapped for a short period of time of

time. what happened there, ayman? >> reporter: we have been speaking to egyptian officials. we understand that five americans traveling to a popular destination were stopped at gun point. three of them were released. it was at that point that military intervened and negotiated the release of these two americans as well as their egyptian driver. >> ayman, help our understand audience why these protesters are so defiant in blaming the police for what happened at the soccer game. >> reporter: you really got to look at it on two levels. really at a macro and a fhigher

level. people are frustrated. military trials for civilians slow transition to democracy. that has frustrated people. in any given moment, anything that happens on the street can cause these protests. people were very disappointed with the security at the soccer stadium in which 74 people were killed. that frustration boiled over here to the capitol where people take out that anger against the police, against the ministry of interior forces. that's what we have been seeing for the past 48 hours. >> very disturbing and sad images as that country struggles after so much. thank you very much. a los angeles elementary school second child abuse scandal just this week is toing our look at news around the nation. officials say a teacher was removed from elementary school after accusations of sexual misconduct were reported against him. details are limited. the teacher has been arrested. earlier this week a third

some areas under two feet of snow. mike is live on the south side of denver. it does look pretty but i know it's real mess. >> it's not exactly lake shore drive, tamron. it will do on a winter day when we haven't had much snowfalling. in denver one of few spots where they have had above average snowfall. the other that comes to mind seattle and midland, texas. i-25 traffic looking good. it wasn't much of a rush hour. i think a lot of folks threw in the towel and decided to make it a three-day weekend. schools were also closed. you can see traffic moving at about 50, 55 miles per hour. the bottom line is travel was tough. we've had a lot of accidents. mentioned schools were closed.

at the airport nearly 600 cancellations out of a total 1,700 flights. there's no delays officially because they have cancelled so many flights. you can see the snow. the conveyor belt wrapping across western and central nebraska. we have warnings all the way to omaha and back into denver wp we've had so much snow. as much as four feet. the last reported black hawk up there around 9000. we had like 16 inches of snow in the lower elevations. the big storms tend to be in late october, november and in march and april when we get that field of moisture from the gulf of mexico. that's what we have today. we have a warm sector. we have a tornado catch and a couple of tornado warnings in the past hour. this is more of a spring storm in early february. it's going to last through tonight wrapping up tomorrow as you go east on i-80 towards

omaha and des moines. the record for a calendar day in february is nine and a half inches we're right about that. the biggest one they seen in february is only 14.2 inches. those big snowstorms occur in the fall and the spring and the winter tends to be snow, but not that much. we're above the six inches in just one day. >> mike, i can't help but to comment your hontough guy stanc. is that required in the snow? i'm mocking you. >> i only do this during the tamr hall hour on msnbc weekdays from 2:00 to 3:00 eastern. >> love it. i was waiting for you to fall back as a snow angel. you're kind of in that position.

them only in the star wars costumes. this is the ad. tell us about this one. >> this dog is overweight. he sees the new beetle drive by and he's desperate to get in shape so he can chase it. he goes through this workout routine and loses the weight and chases the beetle. >> i'm totally thrown off. i thought it was the dogs barking. >> you have to wait for it because there's a teaser at the end. >> got you. okay. that's the teaser ad. moving on, number three. i don't think we need any audio for this. it's david beckham. body wear. >> a full half of the audience is female. 50 million women watched last year. >> this can be for -- it doesn't just have to be for women. >> it has some appeal.

thp wi this will be a pretty interesting ad. sex is important in the super bowl as is dogs and babies. >> go daddy has gotten in trouble in the past. they are back with one. body paint ad. what's so hot about this one? >> i don't think there's anything hot about this one. i'm pretty tired of the go daddy. i think it's run its course. they probably should re-think this. >> this is danica patrick painting a woman's body. >> i thought you said sex sells. >> they have done this. >> like played out. >> seriously. >> the doritos sling baby ad. why is that so popular? >> they do crash the super bowl. they have a contest to put it out to people to create super bowl ads and they select one for the game. in the past these things have

been quite good. last year there was the pug ad that was successful. this year is the sling baby ad. it's pretty cute. i think that people love these things. >> that is adorable. that's an interesting list. how much is a 30-second spot. >> $3.5 million. >> is that up from last year? >> it's up. this audience will be the biggest audience ever. >> that's the problem with a fan like myself who are purist and enjoy the dallas cowboys. >> go giants. next up on our "news nation gut check." we want your thoughts on the developing story we're following. israel and iran. would you support a strike in the next few month? you can join the news nation at facebook.com/newsnation. confidence. available in color. depend® for women is now peach.
