[ cheers and applause ] how are you? we're going to head on into the interview. john, jill...mr. jacobson... what's it like driving the fusion hybrid? you can read every system that is operating by pushing a button. it's like driving a computer. what would be the hardest thing for you to give up? the miles per gallon, the fuel. when you're used to filling your car up once a week, then suddenly once every three weeks, believe me it'll be a big difference going back. when i'm on overtime. when i'm in over my head. when i have to be sharp... no matter how many time zones i've crossed. when i'm on my feet for hours. when it's game time. when the day's only half over but my energy is all gone. when i need the energy to start exercising. every day. every day. every day is a 5-hour energy day. 5-hour energy. every day. with these new belvita breakfast biscuits. they give you energy that lasts all morning. suspe

i recently talked with comedy legend joan rivers and her daughter melissa.e discuss their reality show, joan's plastic surgery and what it's like when fans expect you to be on all the time. you know that pressure. >> i do. all the time. all the time lester. and then you work out. and we're both getting older. i work out a lot, too. you get the little aches and pains, your joints start hurting a little more and more as you get older. why rush to the doctor when you can just sort of exercise more and work your way through the pain. there's a new book out that offers relief so you don't have to stop exercising al to the. i had a chance to try it with a good friend of ours here at the "today" show, dr. jordan metle. he's a superstar on the left in the blue and i'm sort of tagging along on the other side. but it's a really interesting concept. so it keeps us from the doctors, and sort of getting back out into the great wide open to do some -- >> can he fix my broken foot back years ago? >> i didn't know that. >> he's working on my knee. >> we're going to get a ch

i have to ask joan about this moment from "joan and melissa." >> i'll take it. >> i don't know what she's smoking but i'm sure it's not tobacco. >> mary matalin on this race and the gop and women's rights. >>> only in america, the olive garden review making an 80-year-old woman an internet food sensation. one night only, "jane lynch tonight." good evening. the big story tonight. i'm guest hosting while piers is away. as a guest host, i am entitled to my own banner. cnn plasters these all over the place. let's get the jane lynch one up and running. there it is. thank you very much. it's good to be a host. now, before piers went away on vacation, he tried to offer me some advice. >> what does it take to be a guest host on "piers morgan tonight"? huge shoes. >> i am size 11. i have huge shoes. anything else you would like to add? >> don't get too gleeful, jane. it's a temporary job. >> we'll see about that, piers. we are going to have fun this evening. joan rivers is here. i'm so excited. so is her daughter. melissa is waiting. >> i hate "glee." it's not like my high school. i went to a jewi

joan, you may want to comment on this. joan, the republican party is not an evil party. it's not made up of evil people. it has people who have views we agree it and sometimes it's dead wrong. but it has not spoken against this man rush limbaugh. the only words we've got is this peep from santorum about his words being absurd. falling back on the joke he's just an entertainer. normally day to day he's their spiritual ideological leader. we hear from boehner, the so-had called leader of the republicans in the congress saying something like, what, i don't even get it, inappropriate language. he used the word "slut" instead of prostitute or hooker. it's not inappropriate language but inappropriate thought and certainly inappropriate attack on a private citizen. what do you think about the republican party here? absolute ditto heads. >> you're right. inappropriate is the word you leave for a prank, a whoopee cushion, not a word you use in a context like this. chris, i want to give you credit. you and i disagree periodically, but i have to say you were on this a week after th

. >>> the queen of comedy, joan rivers. over the years she's had a daytime talk show, late night show and now two programs airing on tv. i sat down with her and her daughter melissa to discuss their reality show, plastic surgery, tattoos, among other things. a delightful pair. we've got that coming up for you. >>> we begin this morning with the unseasonable warm weather. it's just two days until spring. but places like green bay, wisconsin, and fargo, north dakota, are feeling more like summer. the weather channel's mike sidel is in one hot spot, we don't say that this time of year, chicago. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lister. how often can you stand on the beach in chicago in mid-march and not need a jacket? it's 64 degrees. almost 20 degrees above the average afternoon high. yesterday minneapolis/st. paul broke their seventh record high in eight days and in the past week we've set or broken more than 2,000 record high temperature. it was a balmy day at new york city famed st. patrick's day parade. a far cry f

joan, what does this mean to women voters in this country? >> rick santorum should be ashamed of himself, because i'm sorry i guess i expected more. he has daughters and talks about women, even though he's conservative, i thought he had a better heart than that. and to just dismiss it as he's an entertainer is so coarse, so degrading to women and to the republican party and as richard said, the polls are devastating on this, ed, it's not just the presidential level. in the last few months, suburban women have shifted from wanting republicans to take back congress by about 10 points to now wanting democrats to run congress by 10 points. so it's hurting them with independents and with republican women. >> and with this limbaugh situation, it's amazing to me some righties out there just falling over themselves trying to defend limbaugh on friday bill o'reilly spent a good portion of the program attacking sandra fluke and defending limbaugh. here what is he said moments ago on his program. >> this was a brilliant maneuver by whatever democrat tho

"mad men," they're all back, betty, jon, the incomparable joan. what is it about their world we find so downright transing? is it something this country had and lost? is it about our youth? hi, i'm chris matthews. with us today new york magazine john heilemann, cnn's gloria borger, cnbc kelly evans and pulitzer times editor david leonhardt? what do they have in common? both can wipe the slate clean. and they could wipe out the health care law, let it stand or kill the heart of it. we'll get clues in the extraordinary three days of argument starting monday. the president has not been talking much about health care lately, but there was this the other night. >> we want to call it obamacare, that's ok because i do care. that's why we passed it. chris: mitt romney will be invested by the republicans with the right and duty to make the president eat those very words. but that etch-a-sketch admission this week highlights his achilles heel. listen how rick santorum put it to "time" magazine mike halpern. >> there could be no person in this country we cou

okay. >> joan, you and i are pretty articulate on matters like politics. i think we're beyond the range of regular democrat versus republican politics. something strange in the water for rush limbaugh. joining in this fight from his high level basically attacking an individual for being part of this debate and then going after them and then making comments like i've never heard somebody make about another human being in the context of public debate. >> right. no. you said we're articulate. you're articulate, i'm speechless listening to that actually. i had only read the words, but hearing his voice it's ridiculous. of course, the president called sandra. he's a father. and sandra, i know you're 30 years old and grown up and i respect you and admire you, so i'm not condescending, but there's a certain reaction you have if you are a parent of a daughter. mine is in her 20s, too, chris. where you are like, excuse me. who could say something like that? and how do you get away with it and repeat it over and over? so you know, he's crossed a line. i do my best n

joan, you and i have similar views. i'm not sure on this one. rush limbaugh learned live that the president had called you. let's listen to what he had to say on air right after that. >> the president called her and asked if she was all right. she said she was, i hope. do we know what she said? all she told that to andrea mitchell. i offered to pay for aspirins. i thought i had been quite compassionate here. you know, also, one thing obvious is that when the left wants to pretend they have no sense of humor, they are excellent at it. >> sense of humor. slut. later this show, rush limbaugh learned more about what the president said to you. he mocked it. let's listen to him mocking the president for showing compassion towards you. >> apparently, sandra fluke told obama when he asked her if she was okay, she said that obama told her that she should tell her parents they should be proud. okay. i'm going to button my lip on that one. the president tells sandra fluke -- 30-year-old sandra fluke, parents should be proud. okay. >> joan, you and i are ar

a unanimous choice was spanish artist joan miro. born in the catalan city of barcelona in 1893, miro has remained close to the land and its people. but as a young man in paris, he joined with friends like max ernst and jean arp in the emerging surrealist movement of the 1920s. in his painting "the farm," miro's characteristic symbols and themes began to appear: serpentine shapes, eckerboard patterns, finite space represented by the moon or a star. in 1922, he painted "the farmer's wife," the ancestress of countless female symbols that also became a continuing motif in miro's art. in 1924, his art broke free of gravitational constraints in theurrealtic world of "harlequin's carnival." over the years, he developed his own personal symbolism, and in the 1950s, the scalof his art grew with such works as a mural at harrd university and "the wall ofhe sun" for unesco in pas. as his work grew in size, miro continued what he termed "a process of simplification." he stated, "little by little, i have managed to reach a point at which i use no

and i want to go to joan on this. joan, the republican party is not an evil party or made up of evil people, and sometimes it's dead wrong, dead wrong, but it has not spoken against this man, rush limbaugh. it has not spoken. the only words is we got the peep from santorum about his words being absurd and an entertainer. normally, day-to-day, he is there spiritual and ideological leader. and boehner, the so-called leader of the republicans in the congress saying something like, what, i don't even get it? inappropriate language. he used the world slut instead of prostitute or hooker? what is the appropriate language he thought he should use. what do you think of the republican party here? absolutely ditto heads. >> i can't believe it. you are right, inappropriate is a word that you use for a prank, for a whoowhoopie cushion. i have to say, chris, you were on this a week after the inauguration. rush limbaugh said he hoped the president failed. and i remember, i think it was phil peeped up and said maybe that's not the n

joan lowy, what happened last night?uest: they passed a major transportation bill by 74 to 22, which is an overwhelming bipartisan votes. that does not happen very often. host: how much money, how long is this? how is it funded? guest: this is a two-year bill. this costs $109 billion. mostly, it is funded through gas taxes and diesel taxes and other transportation taxes already in existence. but, that is not completely cover the cost of the bill. and there is another $10 billion or $12 billion paid for through a series of adjustments to other tax credit toor to -- tax credits or to other cuts in the budget. host: what is different from the original transportation bill we were talking about a month or so ago that was going to be brought up in the guest: house -- in the house? guest: the one in the house was $260 billion, five years. it took a little bit different approach than this bill. it devolved a lot of the of responsibilities for transportation programs to states. the senate bill does, too, but does not go nearly as

and joan rivers' real-life drama, and it's no laughing matter. maybe it is.re we not surprised? >> i mean, is it me, or would you think that when someone applies for a job with joan rivers they basically abandon their dignity at the door? >> the latter. >> okay. well, not so much for one young woman, who thinks that she's actually maybe entitled to some damages. this is how it all went down during the latest episode of "joan and melissa," their reality show, her and her daughter. they were having a meeting of staffers appraising various pieces of jewelry. she used one female worker as a live mannequin of sorts, getting hands on and appraising the jewelry. and perhaps too close for comfort is what the employee is saying. the woman went on to report to a superior the incident was inappropriate. she said joan was putting the jewelry on me and putting my sweater back and touching my breasts. >> and she was remarking -- she was making comments about them as well. >> of course. of course. as she does about everything. so was joan rivers inappropriate -- >> i think
