>> as many of you probably know, comedian and genius, steven colbert, has been illustrating some of ridiculous aspect of the current regime by creating a super pac and and created the colbert super pac for the purpose, of course, of accepting donations that never have to be disclosed and then can be shifted to the super pac. so with that rather sad tail, lee turn it to somebody else who can offer a ray of hope. >> so hopefully you can -- i don't know if it can be a ray of hope but colbert no longer has a super pac. >> paul in. >> i'm going to talk about the broader legal concerns at play when you're talking about disclosure and transparency. as mimi and eliza both explained, the major thing coming out of citizens united was a declaration by supreme court that independent expenditures don't corrupt or can't corrupt but one of the promises made by the court, promise might be too strong of a word, but one of the suggestions strongly made by eight of the court's nine members was disclosure and transparency will be ann dote to any potential flood of corporate and by extension union money that will

tonight from politico's play-back, political humor on center tuesday, conan o'brien, steven colbert, and words from israeli prime minister benjamin netten yahoo! >> today is the multi-state primary known as super tuesday. excited about that? it's super tuesday. it's going to be followed tomorrow by [ bleep ]. we're stuck with really stuck with romney wednesday. >> the nation with 0% reporting, the colbert report can officially project -- nothing. because we tape the show at 8:00 and the polls close at 9:00. but i have gone to a lot of trouble here. so i'm just going to report the results of something. so folks, let's go to russia. where we are prepared to project that vladamir putin will once again be the president of the russian republic. very strong showing. evidently voters really responded to his campaign slogan, putin 2012 or he'll shoot your family. >> yesterday, president barack obama broke out the good cheer to welcome israeli benjamin netanyahu in town for a quick nosh and a schmooze. to remind americans we all face nuclear annihilation at the hands of the iranians. >> lame,

wait till you hear steven colbert's take on it. maria and lenny mcallister. great to see you both.ows that romney has 40% support among likely primary voters in wisconsin ahead of the primary on tuesday. santorum at 33%. with paul and gingrich in the distance. is this evidence that romney is sealing the deal to win the nomination with the republicans, maria, you first? >> well, i do think that we are in the final stretch here. and that republicans, at least they hope, to summing up this nomination and that mitt romney is going to be potentially the nominee. it's going to be interesting to see, fred, in the wisconsin primary, if he in fact is able to seal that deal with the conservative voters with the tea partiers with the religious and conservatives, that frankly, rick santorum has been the standard-bearer. if he wins wisconsin and he has yet to win over those voters, i still think it's an argument that rick santorum can continue to make. that romney cannot seal the deal with those conservative voters. >> lenny, how do you see it, mitt romney picking up paul ryan of wisconsin, geo

last week steven colbert found the issue too juicy -- if broccoli is juicy -- to resist. >> obamacare is dead. it was killed by nine people in black robes. i told you there would be death panels. the lynch pin of this is the alleged mandate. >> people have to buy food sooner or later. therefore, you can make people buy broccoli. >> this case is really about broccoli. why is the government trying to make us eat it? next they're going to make us eat the rest of our vegetables including the lima beans. and they'll make us give our grandma a kiss even though she smells like old tupperware. i'm not going to have my decisions made by barack obama, or should i say broccoliobama. >> has anybody wondered what it's like to be backstage with president obama. they were smashed when he brought his stand-up routine to a fundraiser. here he is telling jimmy fallon about it. >> i expect him to be like, thank you for your time, here's your photo. that's what i'm expecting. he comes back and says, this is the roots. how's it going, y'all? he's like, aziz, how you doing? what are you blowing up to? i'm

even so, everyone seems to have lotto fever, including our favorite, steven colbert. >> i've got to tell you, i've got the winner right here. went with my old bank pin. oops, you know what, timmy, let's edit that out. >> can do. >> okay, thanks. >> let's see how things are actually going in the land of lottery favor. we're at a card and gift shop i especially in your normal, everyday job or workplace, and there's no real game plan about what's supposed to happen and who is supposed to get what if, in fact, you do win. >> so what you're saying is if somebody wanted to scramble with the ticket, they can. >> it's possible. i would hope that there's some type of evidence that the rest of the pool can set forth to show that they're entitled to at least a portion of those winnings, but i know that most states really only recognize one true winner as the lottery winner despite the fact that there is a pool, and that true winner is the owner and holder of the ticket upon presentation to that state lottery board. >> what should the pool of evidence be? should we be circulating some form the contr

steven colbert once said -- [laughter] and i didn't even say it yet. he said reality has a well-known liberal bias. [laughter] my book contends this is scientifically true and i'm going to explain that with respect to the global warming issue in particular, but in the book i go much further to explain to a large number of issues. let's think about why it is we have this incredible concerted denial on the political right in the science underpinning the number one reason to be concerned how we are affecting the plan at. by the way, the science underpinning the human cause of global warming is incredibly strong and solid. it is over 100-years-old. people don't know that john, the irish scientist in 1859 was doing experiments on the properties of carbon dioxide and figuring out how it works atmosphere. this is 1859. what i find significant is it is the same year darwin published the origin of species so we knew the greenhouse effect is that long ago. once you know what that affect is and what carbon dioxide those in the atmosphere all else being equal you

even so, everyone seems to have lotto fever, including our favorite, steven colbert. >> i've got to tell you, i've got the winner right here. went with my old stand-by, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. okay? same as my bank pin. oops, you know what, timmy, let's edit that out. >> can do. >> okay, thanks. >> let's see how things are actually going in the land of lottery favor. we're at a card and gift shop in bayonne, new jersey. how are spirits out there, gabe? >> dylan, people are excited out here. i'm excited. i just got my ticket a couple hours ago. we just talked to one man who dropped $700 on mega millions tickets for himself and his company. he just, you know, is excited to be out here. he's hoping that his company is going to be able to share in this prize money. as you mentioned, that jackpot now up to $640 million, a lump sum, about 462 million. it's a little less than that after taxes, but that drawing is at 11:00 tonight on the east coast. here in new jersey, customers bought up more than 6 million tickets yesterday alone, and the response has been so huge that if nobody picks the winning nu

so, steven colbert once said -- i didn't say it yet -- he once said, reality has a well known liberal bias. what my book contends this is scientifically true, and i'm going explain that with respect the global warming issue in particular. but in the book i go much further and explain it's true with respect to a large number of issues. let's think about why it is we have this incredible concert denial on the political right of the science underpinning the number one reason to be concerned about how we're affecting the planet. and by the way, the science underpinning human-caused global warming is incredibly strong and solid. it is over100 years old. people don't know that john continue del, the irish scientist in 1859, was doing experiments on the properties of carbon dioxide and figuring out how it workness the atmosphere and figuring out the fundamental science of the greenhouse effect. this is 1859. it's the same year that darwin published the origin of species. okay? so we knew what the greenhouse effect was. that long ago. once you know what the greenhouse effect is, once you know

we take a regular form and steven colbert did this regularly. you felt and write a nice letter on the letterhead that is by the way we are a super pak and established. until they can handle these questions i don't have a lot of faith in their ability to handle the hard ones. i'm a corporate litigator by training which reminds permanently but i disagree with you on the fec initiative there hasn't been any rulemaking on it yet as i assure you are aware i'm sure you'll see on that. it's true the shareholders, there's a lot of questions on this but they are the residual value of it or however you want to characterize it. but citizens united talks about shareholder democracy as a way of handling these things come and there has been shareholder democracy. there have been i think something like 25 elections last year where shareholders were asked what you like us to disclose our political spending in every single one of those elections false. that's the problem with the fcc coming in saying the shareholders can't take care of their own interest so we a

thank you, steven colbert. welcome back to "cbs this morning."men have traditionally supported their families but get ready for the big flip. >> women will take over as bread winners in the decades to come. the new back and how that will transform our lives. welcome. >> thank you so much. it's great to be here. >> what's the consequence of this? >> i think the consequences in the long term are going to be good. i think there's no question for women that earning more in their relationships gives them more power and more bargaining power as the economists say in their relationships. men are doing more housework than they ever have. >> say that part again. >> men are doing more housework than they ever have, they really are. for men also there are going to be more options, more flexibility in life in terms of life choices. less pressure hopefully to take a job that they don't want to simply in order to support a family. i think men will have an array of new options and more time with their families. >> does that suggest for cultural or other kinds o
