[applause] importantly, you know, we almost lost the giants. in 1993, we made some desperate calls to tony when the team was saved, and we asked tony -- there is only one person that could kick off the new generation, the new era of giants baseball on opening day in 1993, and that was tony bennett. he sang "god bless america" and "i left my heart in san francisco" on that date. it was an unbelievable day. it brought down the house, as did your performance at the all- star game. as did your performance at the world series. you are a huge part of the san francisco giants. as we all know, you have not arrived until you have your own bobblehead.

not exactly a positive reflection on our intelligence our partners now in baghdad straight up and baer is saying. but there is in my mind some even bigger news out there and the crazy thing is that this comes from a c.n.n. poll and yet c.n.n. decided to leave it on their website go big with celebrity stories instead of this and everyone else well they didn't even want to touch it the new c.n.n. political poll shows that according to their respondents support for the war in afghanistan has fallen to an all time low and show that only twenty five percent of americans favor the war and that for the first time since the war began in two thousand and eleven a majority of republicans voiced opposition to it and i'm sure you can say that hey this is just one little poll of a thought forget that earlier this week we saw a similar results from a new york times c.b.s. poll that would show that sixty nine percent of respondents think we should be afghanistan so clearly the public hasn't moved on or forgotten in fact the indicators suggest that support continues to fall on the mainstream media doe

also with us tonight, former cia officer and time.com intelligence columnist robert baer. barbara, even though we have word "today" of more defections from the syrian army, you're seeing that assaad has a firm grip on syria. >> the assessment is all in agreement. assad remains in control, in charge, commanding his forces. there is no break, they believe in the inner circle around him. this is not his critical inner circle. they have closed ranks, they have determined to fight, they have talked themselves into it, one of the officials says that they are fighting an insurgency and they believe right now they will win and sadly, anderson, the opposition remains fractured and unable to really mount an effective counter offensive according to these officials. >> does this surprise you? >> i'm not really sure about the quality of the american intelligence around syria. who's the inner circle? is it his brother? yes, his inner circle will be with him throughout, they will flee with him, they will fight with him and most likely they will die with him. he hears what the american of

it's not unlike when romney made a $10,000 bet with rick perry or attacked brett baer for giving himterview or laid hands on rick perry. they all do this. they're human. >> i've got to go to shameless plugs. >> please follow us on twitter @nbclatino. >> @robjohnson on twilter, also little helping hands which is a nonprofit in austin, texas. >> thank you both. that's it for this edition. and there it goes. we had one thing fall on us. that's not bad considering what happened yesterday. tomorrow on the show, we'll, of course, have all the reaction from the big day at the supreme court and the big fight over the mandate. coming up next, "chris jansing." bye-bye. >>> i'm meteorologist bill karins with your business travel forecast. after a very cold start to the day in areas of new england, at least the sun is going to warm things up. boston getting into the mid-40s. new york to d.c., not bad. temperatures getting into the low 50s. we're actually very warm around chicago southward. still in the 60s and 70s. even denver, another warm day. still damp, though, in seattle with showers.

bob baer and eric lichtblau, thank you. >>> let me finish with rush limbaugh, well, you can't finish off, but let me try to finish with him and his way back machine. this guy is from another decade.

but the question is, what to do about the main parts of the bill or the law and i think a baer majority five members seem to think it's better just to strike the whole thing down and in a sense let congress decide whether it wants to start over, whether it wants to reenact parts of it. but here's a very interesting thing. and this may be just because of the sort of purist way the court works. it was a given today that the if question, if the supreme court strikes down the individual mandate, none of the justices revisited that question. they all came in today assuming that was the chore today, to decide what to do if that is the case. i don't know that you can read anything into that that they've pretty well all concede that's what's going to happen. i'm just saying the court was very disciplined today and followed its instructions of assuming that that -- if that is struck down, what then would be done. >> a very, very large and significant assumption. pete, thanks for your reporting these past three days. it has been excellent. thanks for your time. >>> i want to open this up to the p

he laid hands on rick perry and made a $10,000 bet with rick perry and attacked brett baer for interviewingd and grueling and tough. people get tired and we're all human. >> it does get grueling and tired and it is tough, but this is where you separate the men from the boys. this would have been a perfect opportunity for santorum to continue to focus his passion on the issue, the right answer to that would have been, yes, on healthcare, mitt romney is absolutely the worst candidate to put up against barack obama because, blah, blah, blah, that would have been the perfect answer. he was tired. he was annoyed. he did, and i think you're right, to some of his own conservative followers, that is the thing to do, but it doesn't do anything to bring on independence and to expand the coalition that he is going to need to ultimately win. >> here is the question i have today. you explained to me how you can intellectually connect these dots. you understand santorum passionately making the case and some republicans are mad because they think romney has this locked up and he's hurting the cause. but h
