. >> john heileman, thanks so much. this saturday night, the game change movie premieres right there on hbo, that is based on the book written by john and our good friend mark halperin. >>> in news from overseas, a top nuclear official at united nations is raising serious concerns to iran's nuclear program, that is only intensifying concerns in israel where officials are considering a potential strike to top tehran from developing a nuclear bomb, benjamin netanyahu spoke to the pro-israeli crowd yesterday in washington. >> we're determined to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons. we leave all options on the table, and containment is definitely not an option. responsible leaders should not bet the security of their countries on the belief that the world's most dangerous regimes won't use the world's most dangerous weapons. israel has waited patiently waited, for the international community to resolve this issue. we've waited for diplomacy to work. we've waited for sanctions to work. none of us can afford to wait m

and john heileman is editor of "new york" magazine. susan first. women on this always. although birth control is generally because of heterosexual sex, they do care about it. they are the ones that can get pregnant. let's start with the obvious. let me give you numbers. who supports the requirement that private insurance companies cover the cost of birth control? just two-thirds of the american people. 63%. an incredible overwhelming majority. 63% to 33%. who supports contraception coverage by insurance companies generally? democrats, 83%. independents, 62%. republicans even, 42%. susan, this is not a winner statistically for republicans. >> it's not a winner for republicans. talking about respect for religion, religious freedom, that's an argument they can make. or talking about mandates by the obama health care plan that seem intrusive or extensive or too much for the federal government. that's an argument they might be able to make. they were trying to make it yesterday, but rush limbaugh has hijacked that argument and made it about contraceptio

john heileman, there are a couple of other take aways, give us examples of what they did not know about foreign policy. >> the things we had in the book, she did not understand why there was a different between north and south korea, she thought that saddam hussein attacked the u.s. on 9/11, and then the screen writer went out and did his research. danny wanted to talk to people, wanted to hear how they talked and go through the process that we went through and make sure that everything that we wrote in the book was true, but one of the things he found was the scene in the movie that got attention, where she confuses the head of state in great britain, when she thought it was the queen. the queen was head of government and the they have to correct her and point out that the prime minister is the head of government and the queen is a head of state. >> that is a big difference. the prime minister is coming to meet the president, that is where the governments operate one on one, it's not the queen who is a -- >> figure head. >> yes, let's look at sarah palin, who was the role on. this was

kurt anderson, host of studio 360 radio and john harwood, karen finney, and political analyst, john heileman. last night, mitt romney won the most states and extended his overall delegate lead to more than 200, but the bottom line is that he has not locked up the nomination, is he becoming a stronger candidate or a weaker one? folks? my thinking here is that this could be a pivot point for the team romney, not just going back to the lab but refining a message, making him a stronger candidate, there's a contention out there that he has been bloodied and bruised but this could be good. >> i'm feeing like we have read that and said that five or six times eer already. the question was would newt gingrich make him a better candidate. so far, i've not seen what we have seen in the democratic race as hillary and obama duked it out. obama ended up being a stronger candida candidate, but along with that we saw turn out and excitement in the democratic party only to up, which helped in the general. on the republican side excitement going down and turnout going down, so for the general it looks like th

secondly, it's based on serious factual analysis done by two brilliant reporters, mark halpern and john heileman feeling somewhat sympathetic to her. >> from a sheer strategic standpoint, all this fuss will make people want to see it more, go watch it on hbo. we're talking about, for instance, right now on cnn. i don't know if it makes me want to see it more. i'm going in with a skeptical eye of how fair it will be, but i will watch it because of "the wire" and game of thrones and "deadwood" and all the other series hbo has put together. i'm assuming dramatically it will be pretty good. >> i saw the movie. it held my interest through the whole thing. chris, your opinion? >> the best way to get someone to see your movie is have someone high profile, sarah palin, to tell you not to see the movie. i think it's great publicity. it's no surprise she would be nervous about how she'll be depicted given the past, how the media has depicted her, and she's been depicted in popular culture. but i've read some early reviews that said it makes you feel fairly sympathetic to her in certain ways. i think we mi
