i thank jan for that. i had no idea who she was, but that is how i got my start in the coming out to california. on a quick personal note, 10 years ago, she says she works out, but she really just kind of talk to people on the machine at certification, asked a fellow should in london, and she said she had a single friend she got really needed a date. i was really busy. i had a new job. we end up going out, and we have been married 10 years now. never say never. some george died. [applause] -- some george guy. she does not work out. she just talked to people. >> it is all true. is she doing a great job? she is just lovely. and one quick personal notes, do you know he is a million-mile flyer on united airlines? i did not say mile high club. i said million mile fire. he is going for his second million miles. he is quite the traveler. 1.4 million miles. just a little interesting tidbits. again, they are community. that is why it is so wonderful to be part of this community. congratulations to them and congratu

the with the >>jan: have often the oscars.

we've grown up with jan. evening magazine from the mid 1970's to the 1990's, all.derful shows that she's sponsored, pacific fusion and others. and you know jan is all around the bay area. all around the san francisco communities. she's helped us on engagement with our public and helping us dialogue with a difficult -- with difficult topics and being moderator or immediate -- mediator and hosted so many nonprofits and being there for every important fundraiser like the ones we've had with kristi yamaguchi and always dreaming foundation and being part of the osaka sister city association, founder member of course, and asian-american journalist association, again, others following her. for david and for jan, if you look at television today, no matter what channel you turn to, there are asian americans on the journalism positions. and i believe and i know it's because of both david and jan's work behind the scenes, in front, bringing just that whole professional care to what they do every day. and i remember a very unique story. as i was a first-year law student at ber

. -- jan wall is next. >>> tonight is 48th academy awards. along with nervous nominees nine times are up for the best picture. we root for our favorites, san francisco film critic jan wall joins us with her trademark hat and professional eye that is reviewing the films. >> nice to be here. this is a wonderful year for oscar. >> i thought so. feel like billy crystal. it's a wonderful time for us. >> are you glad he is back. >> yes. >> oh, my goodness and he will be fun and hopefully they will have production values. so actually you will see some funny moments and great things will happen. i mean, remember, it will be so great of the spontaneity. i don't want written acceptance speeches. they shouldn't allow anybody to pull them out. just talk from the heart. remember when jack palance won and he did one arm push ups, the following year billy crystal gets dragged in on a giant offer and who is pulling it with his teeth? jack palnls. the moments could be great and i'm hoping for some good ones and always a very long show but there is where we ha

let's start with this endorsement from jan brewer. there's not really a consensus on what endorsements really mean anymore but can you put this in context for us? >> you're right. endorsements tend to be a little overblown. this is a good pick-up for mitt romney. there are conservatives as we know in this country who are skeptical of mitt romney. jan brewer as you said is a very conservative governor who's put immigration at the top of her agenda. as you know she signed the tough immigration crackdown bill last year. this gives conservatives who might be skeptical of mitt romney a little bit of a comfort zone, a little bit of a blessing to go to the polls and vote for him, but also, you know, no politician at this level makes an endorsement like this without some level of personal calculation. you have to think that jan brewer has seen some polling perhaps, knows mitt romney is probably a safe bet, a lot of political observers think it's trending in mitt romney after rick santorum had a tough debate in mesa the other night. it's a goo

>>jan: you will love you go. >>jan: i would go see hugo in 3d if it is a stunning film.e all of those film editing awards. it is beautifully made including cinematography. >>darya: the artist's 1 many of the awards. almost people going to go out and see the artist? >>jan: the pop artist is digging a. air with it is the whole star is born in india. one guy is a really successful in the other guy goes downhill. i do not know if i love it as much with a girl with a drive intent to but it is certainly worth seeing. people want to celebrate all things that make us love the movies. offs >>darya: let's get a look at the weather. >>erica: that is not a bad idea. it is a gorgeous day. plenty of blue skies. you did mention it is called the temperatures are starting to climb a little bit. we are freezing and portions of the north bay. downtown san francisco coming in at 43. 43 is the current temperature in san jose this hour. santa the afternoon we're facing temperatures cooler than what we're used to. off hayward and fremont coming in at 53. 54 in santa rosa. richmond will stay in

jan crawford and chip reid are following the two top candidates and we begin with jan in denver. jan, good evening. >> well, good evening, jeff, after that landslide victory last night, romney has won three out of the first five states for voting. and with his momentum and that campaign organization, it's going to be hard for anyone to hard fim now. surrounded by thousands of supporters, romney sounded like su he already was in a head-to-head matchup with president obama. >> this president's misguided policies made these tough times last longer. if i'm elected president, my priority will be worrying about savingb, not saving my own. >> reporter: he won big in nearly every category of voters, atd edged rival newt gingrich with groups the former speaker groed to win, the very conservative, evangelicals and tea party supporters. thd look at this statistic, among voters who said beating president obama was the most important factor in their decision, romney won 70% of the voted. .hat widespread support even had romney's wife ann looking ahead. ed now that we have all of you excited a

>>jan: a oscar ratings were higher. >>jan: i think billy crystal is perfect for this job.nning. a kiss between george clooney. then, he gets with justin beaver. then in the back was sammy davis jr.. it was really about the movies. this was a year when we celebrated. >>gary: did people see the artist? >>jan: a lot of people saw it. it is really the academy members that matter. a little less than 6000. what happens is the movie goes up 70% because it wins an oscar. now, people will see it and have a good time. >>gary: in a lot of people do not see in movies. >>jan: that is why it is important for it to be a good show. that is why they had served as a late. instead, it was a true tribute to the movies. they did it for the television screen. it was perfect. then, they were showing you what we love the movies. they kept it on the movie thing. hot ha khmer rose to one, but that was a bed rest. i know drag queens that would not be caught dead in address. she just does not stay as gracious as she did. >>gary: a quick second of a mystery. >> when they called my name, i had a feelin

jan crawford and chip reid are in las vegas. first, we go to jan crawford who is following romney. jan, good evening. >> reporter: well, good evening, nancy. that is right. romney is not only expected to win here but win big, and because he's got that kind of commanding lead, he's been able to get a ahead start campaigning in the other states that are next. >> i know i did well in henderson last time. i owe you a lot. thank you. >> reporter: nevada is romney country. he won here four years ago with 51% of the vote. he and his supporters are pushing hard this time with television ads targets his main rival. >> reagan rejected newt's ideas. >> reporter: campaign rallies, and a celebrity endorsement. and with polls showing voters again are solledly behind him, romney can afford to look ahead. earlier this week, he was in minnesota. >> how you doing, thank you? >> reporter: and this afternoon he ducked out of nevada for a quick campaign rally in colorado. both states vote tuesday, and romney has the organization to campaign in several places at once, which gives them an edge. now, that

jan is in nevada, which is holding caucuses on saturday. jan? >> reporter: scott, romney was actually taking a victory lap on the morning news shows when he started talking about how he was focused on helping the middle-class, not the very rich or the very poor. he's made that point a lot on the campaign trail but this time it was the way he said it that got him into some trouble. >> i'm not concerned about the very poor. we have a safety net there. if it needs repair, i'll fix it. i'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just fine. i'm concerned about the very heart of america, the 90%, 95% of americans who right now are struggling and i'll continue to take that message across the nation. >> reporter: romney's comments lit up twitter and other social media. this afternoon in an interviews with cbs station wcco romney said he misspoke. >> sometimes things don't come out exactly the way you'd like them to. that's not exactly what i meant to say. my focus is on middle-income americans. we do have a safety net for the very poor and i sa

>>jan: talk about the of motions. >> yes, jan.ons. we take the emotion out of money. we try to stabilize that emotional experience because you do not want to make decisions when you are scared. you should stay calm >> i do not mean to get depressed but they always seem to make movies for just 12 year- old boys. >> people are good at saving money but where should their money be? domestic? bond? stocks? they can be very cavalier about managing money. >> should they take a least at least once per month? >> it is the regular rate of watching the markets. regularity. do not depend on a brother or a neighbor for advice. >> election is historically a good stock market year. we are expecting more increasing breaker outlook. increasing-a price your outlook. >> this is so incredible that you have been able to do a seminar. you and i are going to do one. >> yes at sun rafael. we will explore the issues and the enormity of the market with fuel prices. interest rates. what is going on with real estate. to get your entire financial of luck. >>

thank you very much, jan. abortion is being debated once again on the campaign trail and in state capitals. lawmakers in virginia could vote as early as tomorrow on a law that would require women to have an ultrasound before getting an abortion. a similar law is already on the books in texas and we sent anna we werer to find out what sort of effect it's having. >> reporter: this 23-year-old patient in dallas who asked not to be identified is undergoing the new procedure required by law to obtain an abortion in texas. >> there's an arm or leg so you can see that. >> reporter: she must get a sonogram and is also required to listen to the doctor's verbal description of what is seen on the monitor. >> we have a spine. >> reporter: she told us she felt pressured by the process. >> kind of take mig choice away to have an abortion. >> reporter: like it takes your choice away? >> trying to sway my choice on a decision that i already made. >> reporter: also under the law, patients like this must wait at least another 2

jan crawford is on the trail in denver. jan? >> reporter: well, good evening, scott. in the roller coaster ride that's been this republican race, the latest poll suggests rick santorum may be on the way up. he's expected to do very well in the three states that are voting today. but who knows how long that will last? >> are we going to win tonight here in colorado? (cheers and applause) >> reporter: santorum is expected to finish strong in all three states voting today after campaigning hard as the true conservative alternative to mitt romney. >> rick santorum for president. he doesn't just talk a good conservative game, he lives it. >> reporter: that message appears to be resonating with voters as his opponents... romney's to ponts continue to portray him as too moderate. but in the all-important issue of electability, romney still holds an advantage over the g.o.p. field. the latest "u.s.a. today"/gallup poll shows romney would do best in a head-to-head matchup with the president. they are tied at 48%. but mr. obama would beat ron paul by 3%, santorum by 8%, and new

jan crawford is with his campaign in mesa, arizona, tonight. jan?>> reporter: well, scott republicans who say they're afraid romney isn't a true conservative always point to social issues. they say they're afraid that can't trust him because he's changed his views, especially on abortion and they worry he's going to change them again. at a town hall meeting yesterday in michigan, romney talked about the economy, but a voter turned the conversation to social issues. >> i just want to hear you say that you are 100% pro-life, meaning embryonic stem cell research, 100% professor life, no abortions. >> romney's response was swift. >> i am pro-life, i am in favor of protecting the sanctity of life. i'll cut off funding to planned parenthood. >> reporter: romney says he opposes abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger. but questions remain for some voters because when romney ran in 2002 for massachusetts governor he supported a woman's right to an abortion. he said he changed his mind two years later after a debate ov

this might be walker's "jan brewer "moment. governor walker bragged how he schooled the president of the united states on labor rights during his cpac speech in washington. >> because i'm sure that the president of the united states is not getting his talking points from the big government union bosses in washington. i think hannity ran that quote 50 times that night that is the last we heard from the president. i think the reason why is because the facts are clear. >> quoting hannity? there is a good source. did you ask him about bin laden, scott? that is a different story. >>> i doubt walker has the guts to say the same things to the president face-to-face, the same time president obama has a golden opportunity. tomorrow is the first anniversary of 3,000 protesting in the wisconsin capital and 20,000 on the grounds. when the president goes do masterlock i want him to talk about more than just in-sourcing manufacturing jobs. i want the president to speak about the importance of education, which walker has cut by almost a billi

>> this is congresswoman jan schakowsky. >> this is lois capps, and i want to underscore that as the speaker boehner decides to bring legislation to the floor, which is very well his prerogative, bawl but all of the time that we are spending with that topic on the floor of the house of representatives we are not dealing with the issues that people are concerned about which is unemployment and jobs and job security, and so as he does this, i will underscore what my colleague jan schakowsky just said, to give more women an opportunity to say, wait a minute, you are talking about my right, my freedom and my desire to exercise and we will begin to see more of a backlash and speaking out to women. women are puce busy trying to f jobs now, but this is to the peril of the number one issues. >> that is from lois capps, and jan sha now ski as they weighed in on the issue of contraceptives and health care and the religion exemption debate which is likely to continue in the weeks ahead. >>> mr. speaker, i will be brief, because my message is clear and concise. mr. speaker, i rise today out of g

jan crawford is in colorado where the republicans will be caucusing tomorrow. jan? >> reporter: well, good evening, scott. with that landslide victory in nevada, romney's got all the momentum but newt gingrich, the former front-runner, says he is coming back. reporters at a campaign stop today in colorado may want gingrich, but republican voters many the last two states have not. instead of consistently delivering a strong conservative message, gingrich has been complaining about romney, even calling him a liar. >> he decides to lie about my career. i mean, there's something about the hypocrisy that should make every american angry. >> reporter: voters didn't like it. gingrich was blown out in florida and lost badly in nevada to romney and his campaign organization. and the next six states in february aren't any more favorable. that's led supporters like judson phillips, founder of the tea party nation, to hit the panic button. today phillips called gingrich's campaign a disaster. former house majority leader dick armey, who has not endorsed a candidate, is equally

first jan crawford with the celebrating romney campaign in tampa. jan. >> absolutely, scott. governor romney is just coming out to address this very excited crowd. his wife ann just finished speaking a few moments ago. what this shows here tonight is that he can take a beating and come back strong. remember it i was just over a week ago that he was down in the polls, fighting to get back his momentum. one of his advisors told me it was a real gut check for him after that loss in south carolina. they think he emerged a tougher, more focused candidate. we saw in these two debates here and also on the campaign trail when he really took off the gloves went after newt gingrich and also strongly defended himself from gingrich's attacks when gingrich was calling him a liar. all of this will serve romney well going forward. this race has taken a very ugly turn with those negative ads and also those attacks on the campaign trail. now on to the west. >> pelley: jan, thank you very much. let's take a second here and listen to what governor romney has to say. >> primary contests are not

with us, arizona's republican governor, jan brewer, and california's democratic governor, jerry brown. captions paid for by nbc-universal television >>> good morning. we will begin with overseas this morning. two american military officers were shot dead in kabul. the suspect, an afghan police intelligence officer. now they have recalled nato personnel working in the afghan ministries in that area, all of this after personnel burned a pile of korans setting off days of protest across the country and creating a sense of urgency and the new questions about the terms and timetable for american withdrawal. joining me american presidential candidate, and a two-term senator from pennsylvania, senator santorum. welcome back to the program. >> thank you, and good to be with you. >> president obama personally apologized to president karzai for this apparently inadd vur opportunity act of burning the korans. what is your reaction to the situation unfolding there? >> i don't think he should have y apologized for something inadd vurant. this is something that occurred that should not have occurre

. >>> governor jan brewer is pushing the country's most anti-union agenda yet. it's wisconsin on steroids. the democratic leader of the arizona senate is calling for a wisconsin style backlash. he'll join me coming up, stay with us. >>> coming up on "the ed show" the buffet bill was introduced senate. >>> massive protests in indiana where right to work for less is now the law of the land. is this what the people really want? were there demonstrations in favor of this? ? arizona jan brewer is picking a fight with the cops, firefighters and teachers. we know the story. one of the democrats fighting brewer is here on defend the workers, only on "the ed show." >>> later, an oscar nominee is arrest on capitol hill because republicans didn't want him there. gasland director josh fox is here and he's joining me exclusively tonight. share your thoughts on twister #edshow. lots more coming up. >>> welcome back to "the ed show." democrats took i think the next big step in standing up to republicans on the basic issue of fairness. big discussion in the country about that.
