2,000 years. vice president biden will lead the u.s. delegation to the vatican for the formal ceremony making the pope s installation. pope francis is the first pope from the americas. he s the first to take his papal name from st. francis. the friar who more than 800 years ago took a vow of poverty and devoted his life to helping the poor and the sick. in fact, pope francis is known as a humble man of simple habits. the ap says he often rode the public bus to work, cooked his own meals, and often visited poor neighborhoods. francis is also the first pope to come from the jets with order, an order with a long tradition in work and civil rights in this country. this new pope has a unique ability to focus the world s attention on the sick and the poor. the wrongs we inflict on each other and the rights we hold as human beings. let us pray for his success. thanks for watching. i m al sharpton. hardball starts right now. hope for the pope. let s play hardball. good evening. i m chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with the election of a new pope. it brings with it a great hope and not just for catholics. promises a progressive church. he s a jesuit. francis i is a jesuit from argentina. he s known for throwing off the trappings and the perks of power. living in a small apartment. taking the bus to work. the new pope has said things about capitalism and its failure to deliver economic justice that could drive the right wing nuts. he s the living illustration for what i ve learned of the belief free markets need to be offset by an active social justice toward those in need. this is the catholic church that looks out for the poor, that distances itself from power and wealth, that is skeptical that capitalism will raise all. that the poor can count on the wealth of the rich to trickle down to the people living in the barrios. big surprise in rome tonight. the cardinals picked a jesuit. someone from the americas. someone who identifies with the poor. and those who don t get a break from sharp-elbowed capitalism. i find this fascinating and enormously surprising. francis i. i like him already. we re going to have a big tussle here, by the way, later in this half hour by a pair of political heavyweights, robert gibbs for the dems and steve schmidt for the republicans. but let s start with the politics and drama of the stunning election in the vatican. my guests are mike barnicle and george weigel, nbc news vatican analyst. i want to start with mike. as a fellow american generalist and a catholic, what is your how surprised were you by picking this guy known for social justice and for humility and for really looking out for the little people to use the phrase we often use? well, you know, chris, i was i was actually stunned by two things. and one i had forgotten. i had forgotten about the theater of the church. the explosion of people in st. peter s square. the universality of the church. the fact that not everyone in st. peter s square was catholic. and the fact that the curia, college of cardinals, selected a jesuit as our next pope to me was very surprising. and very encouraging, actually. despite the fact he s 76 years of age, a little older than i think a lot of american catholics expected the next pope to be in terms of age, he is a jesuit. and in terms of what the jesuits are and what they profess, the faith that they have, the faith that they preach, the faith that they practice, social justice. economic justice. not hiding from the realities of economic inequality. not only in argentina and latin america but around the world. specifically in the united states. i think the pope s voice is going to be a strong one. he s going to put an oar in that water. he s going to be rowing against the current that exists right now. but he is the pope and his voice will be heard. i m very encouraged by that aspect of his papacy. george, thanks for coming on. you re the expert. i really liked him immediately. that first impression, the guy, just little things. the way he was not taking instruction from the people who were choreographing him. he said, give me this now. do this now. he seemed to be calling the shots right from the get-go. maybe that s an overinterpretation, but it s the way i saw it tonight. no, i think that s right, chris. i spent an hour with cardinal bergoglio in buenos aires last may. the first thing that needs to be said about this man is that he s a true man of god. this is someone with a very deep and rich spiritual life. he is all that you are saying about his humility, his simplicity. i would not jump to any conclusions about his politics. he s been very critical of the government in argentina. he is also a jesuit who is something of a contradiction within the jesuit order. he was the provincial of the jesuits in argentina. he was a man of what i would call dynamic orthodoxsy. that did not sit too well with many of his more left leaning colleagues. he was sent off to teach chemistry at a jesuit high school in northern argentina. from which he was rescued by john paul ii. and that s the next thing that needs to be said here. this is a j.p. ii guy. this is a man very much formed by the pontificate of john paul ii who loved him to pieces. i think we re going to see a little bit more of that in this pontificate as it goes forward. the name francis is obviously very suggestive of a church of real compassion for the underdog. which doesn t necessarily translate into any particular political or economic program. but does suggest that this guy is going to take a little bit of the baroque gilding off of the papacy. michael, back to you. first of all, let s start with the notion here that the encyclical of looking out for skepticism towards capitalism. when i read that in his brief life description here, i was taken with the fact that he i know he may not be a dorothy day catholic. but he may well be someone who does have that usual church suspicion of capitalism. a lot of our popes have had that suspicion through the 20th century. they re not ayn rand people. they don t buy the marketplaces, the great arbiter of what s good in the world. you know, off of the and we ve only known the pope now in terms of him being pope, what, two hours. but he is remindful, at least to me, of an argentinian virgin of cardinal o malley from boston. yeah. he s filled with humility. i agree with george. i think we don t want to misread or misinterpret or interpret too early his politics. but the fact is that he does stand for social justice. he is a jesuit. and we have not and he stands on behalf of victims. victims of all sorts of things. victims of economic injustice. victims of social inequality. victims of racial inequality. and even sexual inequality. he has, i think, addressed that in part. not, i think, many american catholics hoping for a more progressive view of catholicism are going to be disappointed. but we re going to let this play out. we re going to hear this man speak. i was greatly encouraged by one small thing that happened this afternoon. in that he asked for silent prayer. he didn t stand and issue his own prayer. he asked for silent prayer. we had the millions of people there in st. peter s square and perhaps around the world watching invoking their own silent prayer. let me go to george on the jesuits. i m a jesuit trained guy with the holy cross. i love the guys of georgetown, the priests over there that are still there. we re losing a lot of jesuits. we don t have as many as we used to have. they re thoughtful. they re intellectual. they re deeply religious. but they sort of are in their own ways fascinating people. and because they chose this life. yeah. chris, a couple of things. first, let s just go back a second to something mike said. one of the other things that cardinal bergoglio has steadfastly resisted is the creeping left-wing authoritarianism of the kirchner government in argentina. i tried to send him a book as a gift after i came back from meeting him last may. the book came back a month later addressee unknown. i sent the book to him through a private source. he then sent me a note saying, i m sorry for the inconvenience. but i m sure you understand. what did you make of that? which, indeed, i did. well, his mail was being intercepted by the government, obviously. on the point of his jesuit background, this is a classic, old school jesuit. a man of serious intellectual discipline and capacity. a man of real spiritual discipline. we ve talked about already what a humble guy he is. how simply he lives. he used to take the tram to work in buenos aires. rubbing elbows with the folks. that s who he is. there s no put-on about that. so i think there s going to be a real simplification of papal style here. and that s no bad thing in a church close to 65% of which now lives in the global south. that s a pope that those people can relate to. his first big public test will come this summer when he goes to brazil for world youth day. i think he ll be a smashing success there. it ll be an enormous celebration of catholicism in latin america. but let s also remember, this is a guy of the western hemisphere. the papacy has crossed the atlantic. that s a threshold point for the catholic church, and it s something that all of us, i think, on both sides of the rio grande can take a lot of satisfaction in. mike, let s talk about the politics of moving to our hemisphere. to the americas. first pope obviously in 2,000 years from the americas. an italian father. definitely a latino. he comes from that part of the world. i was thinking in this country if you re puerto rican or cuban or mexican-american or come here from guatemala or colombia like so many do, you must be thinking pretty big about yourself right now that you ve got somebody like you with a spanish background, spanish accent, in fact, you ve got somebody like you from that part of the world as the leader of the entire biggest church in the world. sure. and there s another element, too, chris, in addition to that that you just pointed out. it is this, i think. if you view the church as a corporation, and part of the church is a corporation, and if you view the college of cardinals or the curia as the board of directors, and in a sense they are the board of directors, they selected a guy from one of the growth industries in that corporation, latin america. i mean, the huge burgeoning catholic population. the growth of the catholic church in latin america, places like africa and the philippines. far outpaces the growth rather than the deterioration in growth of catholicism in places like europe and north america because of what s happened in the united states over the last 10 or 12 years. so it s progress in terms of moving the product forward. in terms of growing the product. i ve got the word the vice president is going to be sent over. not the president. that s too bad. joe biden will be a perfect emissary for the country as well as the president. thank you, all. george weigel, as always, great to have you on msnbc at this time, of course, you are the best. mike barnicle, as always, we think very similarly, therefore brilliantly. back to politics. republicans say they learned the lesson of the 2012 election. so why are they talking about repealing obama care? why are they issues budgets that are more regressive than last year s loser? why are they refusing to confirm president obama s nominees? why do they vote unanimously against any gun control including background checks? in short, why are they doing exactly the things that got them clobbered in november? could it be that they care more about tearing obama down than getting themselves up? plus, the butler did it. or the bartender. actually the man who made the infamous romney 47% tape has come forward. he s going to show himself tonight on ed schultz. he s going to be ed schultz s guest tonight. we re going to talk to ed about that and the surprising reason the bartender made the tape. i don t think it s that surprising. whether he realized he was holding on to political dine night. i think all of those are true. anyway. the senate panel heard grim and disturbing testimony about prevalence of sexual assaults in our own u.s. military. this is bad stuff. the thousands of cases, only a tiny percentage actually acted on. senator kirsten gillibrand says it s time to change that. she joins us later on hardball right here. let me finish tonight, a big surprise the vatican, a pope committed to social justice. that s hardball, the place for politics. a kite, a breeze, a dunk of grilled cheese. catches and throws, and spaghettio s. a wand, some wings, soup with good things. sidewalks and doodles and wholesome noodles. puddles and pails and yes, puppy dog tails. for a lunch like this, there s a hug and a kiss. because that s what happy kids are made of. campbell s. it s amazing what soup can do. [ female announcer ] stress sweat is different than ordinary sweat. it smells worse. get 4x the protection against stress sweat. introducing new secret clinical strength stress response scent. those voter i.d. laws are keeping likely democrats from casting ballots. that s the conclusion of a new study that finds that voter id laws disproportionately hurt younger, minority voters. the study found two-thirds of young african-american voters, were asked to show i.d. before voting compared to 40% of young white voters. compared with their white counterparts, significantly more of those african-americans and latinos said their lack of an i.d. kept them from trying to vote in the first place. the study was conducted by researches for the university of chicago and washington u. out in st. louis. a talking train. this ge locomotive can tell you exactly where it is, what it s carrying, while using less fuel. delivering whatever the world needs, when it needs it. after all, what s the point of talking if you don t have something important to say? welcome back to hardball. the differences between president obama and republicans shows no sign of snare rowing. zero republicans voted to advance the seemingly easiest piece of gun legislation, a background check, zero. no new taxes under any circumstances. yesterday paul reid offered a budget that zeroes out the president s health care plan. texas senator ted cruz even proposed a plan to defund obama care himself. with polls showing the president s approval rating dropping, a washington post poll put it at 50%, 5 points from a month ago, republicans have decided to stick to their own playbook, obstruct everywhere, hope some of the mud that covers them sticks to the president. steve schmidt is former senior adviser to the mccain/palin 08 presidential campaign and senior strategist on the bush/cheney 04 presidential campaign. robert gibbs was senior adviser for president obama s 2012 re-election campaign and served as white house press secretary. of course, both are now msnbc colleagues. in fact, analysts as well. thank you. steve, i want to start by throwing some dirt ball at you. i don t know how you re going to catch this one. yes. as we ve all watched for the last two or three months now since the horror at newtown, connecticut, where all those 6 and 7-year-old kids were slaughtered, basically, we ve all watched to see what the government s going to do about that. and now we learn the republican senators, to a man, to a woman, i suppose, have voted against not only they re not going to do assault rifles, not going to do the magazines limiting them to ten rounds or whatever, they re not even going to cast one single republican senate vote for stronger background checks. how can your party be completely against gun safety? well, it s an issue that i think a lot of democrats also, chris, are toeing the nra line on. you know, my personal view is that if i was [ inaudible ] i would vote for background checks. i think it s fair to say the national rifle association may be the most powerful group in washington. those republican senators i think are making votes based on their political vulnerabilities or their perceived vulnerabilities in a republican primary. they don t want to lose the a rating. they don t want to come under attack from the gun lobby. what is that about, robert gibbs? who s the boss? like on the tv show. who s the boss? is la pierre the boss or the republican party its own boss? i think you ve got republican congressmen that are far more concerned about a primary challenge than they are anybody these are august u.s. senators, in for six-year terms. they re supposed to be the guys in robes that think deliberately, big picture. they won t touch anything on gun safety. i think, look, this is going to be an interesting issue because i think it has been for a while. the public supports this at 92%. if something the public supports 92% can t get through congress i think it does give you a sense of the real structural problems that we have in terms of gridlock. something that is but they don t let me go back to steve. your party doesn t even want to catch the nuts. i mean, it s one thing to say everybody has a right to own a gun. and can be completely pure about it. the second amendment means carry anything you want if you can carry it. but the idea that people have a right to buy a gun if they ve got problems. they re criminals, they re wife-beaters, they ve got mental, emotional problems that are clearly on the books. they ve been ordered by courts to do things like spend time inside. and they still can call up and say, give me the best gun you got with the most rounds and the fastest i can shoot. i mean, why would a republican want to have that position? everybody that wants a gun should get one under any circumstance no matter what the condition of their head or their emotions or their criminal record? there are there are millions and millions of republican voters out there, chris, who don t share that position. people who support the second amendment believe you have a right to keep and bear arms. that s constitutionally prescribed. that doesn t mean that the government doesn t have the ability to regulate at some level the purchase of guns and make sure that guns don t wind up in the hands of people who shouldn t have guns. so i think when you see the republican senators make the vote that they made, they re not just on the wrong side of public opinion, they re on the wrong side of public opinion when you just look at nra members and you just look at republican voters. so this is speaking to the power of the lobby in washington, d.c. and it s another example of which there are many out there of political timidity. today one guy who doesn t have any timidity, i wish he had a little more, texas senator ted cruz. he offered a plan just not only to get rid of it, make sure it doesn t get any care, obama care, he wants it defunded, certified as the law of the land. let s listen to senator cruz make his case to eliminate the president s health care plan. in my view, obama care should be repealed in its entirety. and that was the very first bill i introduced in the u.s. senate. but at a minimum, in my judgment, obama care should not be funded and implemented at a time when our economy is gasping for breath. in other words, don t get rid of the military. just don t spend a nickel on it. their guy is basically saying in this sort of strange orwellian way, we re going to get rid of it by just not funding it. it s the minimum we can do. that guy has well, he s just something else. let s make sure that we don t use ted cruz as a barometer for much in washington. he reminds me of the japanese soldier that we found on the philippines years after world war ii ended still in his cave ready to go to war. the courts decided the issue of health care. the election decided the issue of health care. it s the law of the land. and i think it is like i said, let s not use him as a barometer on this. because i think the same people in the republican party understand that although they may not like it, it s the law of the land and it s going to move forward. steve, where are you on this? do you think it s a settled deal? i think it is. i d like to think it is. it is a settled deal. look, i m not an obama care supporter. i think most republicans are not. i think that there will have to be reforms to it as time goes on. but the problem with what ted cruz is doing, although it might be good politics for ted cruz and his standing in the faction of the republican party that he represents, is it keeps us permanently looking backwards on an issue that robert just described that s been settled by the supreme court, that s been settled by the last election. so the issue going forward is how do we project a message that the american people will find appealing. how do we get back on track after having lost the popular vote in five out of the last six elections. when you keep focused on the past the way that ted cruz is doing, it keeps you from moving forward. it s just bad politics. just to give you a chance to take something, take a popular position, taxes. it seems to me that your party has made it very hard for the president, they ve dug in on taxes. their position is they have already given at the office, in other words, they gave the 1%, that s it. by the way, here s mitch mcconnell talking on that one. here he is. there is no revenue solution to that, i would say to you. it has to be done by making the eligibility for entitlements fit the demographics of america today and tomorrow. the only way to straighten america out is to fix the entitlement issue. well, today president obama said that kind of inflexibility, refuse to even look at taxes, could scotch any deal. let s listen to the president respond to that. ultimately it may be that the differences are just too wide. if their position is we can t do any revenue or we can only do revenue if we gut medicare or gut social security or gut medicaid, if that s the position, then we re probably not going to be able to get a deal. so is that speaking for the president let me go back to steve. i said i would give you the first shot here. if the deal is you got to raise revenues up to a trillion dollars through reform or whatever, is there not going to be a deal? because republicans don t look like they re going to go for it. look, i think there s been a number of senators that said they are open to a grand bargain if fundamentally what everyone agrees an inherently uncompetitive tax code that makes the country uncompetitive, that s the drag on the economy. the top rates are now 39%. i m not sure how much higher people want them to go. why think that 40 cents on the dollar isn t your fair share? when mitch mcconnell is talking about the demographic realities of the country, he s correct. we need to reform these programs in order for them to stay. any time the republicans talk about reform and the president responds in the context of this is gutting the programs, i don t think that that creates an environment where you can have a commonsense debate on these issues. i agree with you on that. when the president came back and whipped back at you guys and said i m not going to gut these programs, like saying i m not going to touch them. anyway, thank you. steve schmidt, i noticed you re in the higher economic brackets. i noticed that new sensitivity to the 39% i hadn t seen from you before. the south carolina republican lawmaker who says expanding medicaid is a good idea, then voted against it because it s good politics to oppose the black guy in the white house.

[ it is tough to see how that speech would do anything to sway votes. gruenhaggen made a failed attempt at banning same-sex marriage through an amendment last year. south kaerl s republican-led state house voted yesterday to reject a proposed expansion of medicaid. here s something to note. in january one of the republican lawmakers chris crawford talked to a local newspaper. represent chris crawford, republican from florence and emergency room doctor, supports the expansion but expected the republican caucus to vote as a bloc against the medicaid expanse. politics are going to overwhelm the policy. it is good politics to pose the black guy in the white house right now, especially for the republican party. he s on the record with that one. any guesses which way crawford went in yesterday s note? despite the benefits of expanding medicaid to hospitals and patients crawford went with as he described it, good politics, voted against it. right now we know the answer to one of the biggest mysteries of the 2012 election. it was the bartender. the bartender who recorded mitt romney s infamous 47% comments. he s come forward now. he s ed schultz s guest tonight. ed joins us next. you re watching hardball. le a] you are a business pro. executor of efficiency. you can spot an amateur from a mile away. while going shoeless and metal-free in seconds. and you.rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle.and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. now this.will work.

there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe they re entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. and so my job is not to worry about those people. i ll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. welcome back to hardball. with those words mitt romney pretty much sealed his image as the candidate of the top 1% in this country and the callous he showed for those comments, 47% did more than anybody else is, most believe, to derail his presidential campaign. the comments were taped at a florida fund-raiser last may. until now, until tonight, one thing has remained a mystery, who shot the video and what was the motivation for releasing it? tonight we find out. my colleague ed schultz has an exclusive interview with the man herein the tape. turns out he was a barn tender at the party. i thought he was one of the caterers. he he ultimately decided to release the tape because he wanted to hear what the candidate for president was willing to say behind closed doors. take a look. i simply wanted his words to go out and everybody could make a judgment based on his words and his words alone. the guy was running for the presidency. and these were his core beliefs. and i think, you know, everybody can judge whether, you know, that s appropriate or not, or they believe the same things he does. but i felt that an obligation to expose the things that he was saying. ed, thank you for joining us. good luck tonight. i think a lot of people will be watching. i just want to ask you, next time somebody has a fund-raiser at some swank hotel or something, they re going to clear that room of anything that looks like a recording device. this thing looks like it was set up on a table, behind some flowers. was it covered up so people couldn t see it? it looks like, ifi do notice, it s all framed by stuff around it. where was it, do you know? chris, it was just about 20 yards from mitt romney. it was sitting right on the table. and it was not an effort to do anything politically, it was just a worker, a wage earner, who said, hey, i m going to be kind of close to one of two guys who s going to be president of the united states, i want to get this on tape just so i have it as a souvenir. and so he started recording it. when he found out what was unfolding, you know, he was totally at odds with what was being said. and thought that it didn t match up with anything mitt romney was saying out in public. and he thought it was a serious injustice that was going to be done on the american people. and he thought that he had to bring it forward. he tells that story tonight. he talks about the anguish that he went through in deciding what to do with it, how to do it, how he used the social network, and how all of a sudden he was cast in the thick of it when the president of the united states used that material in the second and most crucial debate. it s really an amazing story. ed, your interview with him, you asked him why he decided to release the take. let s take a listen to his response. how big a decision was it for you to release the tape and to go through all of this? it was it was it was tough. and i debated for a little while. and, you know, but in the end i i really felt like it had to be put out. i felt i owed it to the people that couldn t afford to be there themselves to hear what he really thought. you know, you and i are intuitive guys. we try to figure out these things. from the first day you probably figured it was somebody wasn t one of the people paid 10,000 bucks to go in there. they weren t going to screw the guy they were applauding. it was a worker. one of the caterers. had a point of view, perhaps, but definitely had the access to do it. nobody else would want to do it. what do you think the atmospherics were like between the workers as you refer to them as, appropriately so, and the fat cats? was there a sense of oh, my god, these people are sucking this up? they re loving this stuff? they love that 47% attitude. what s interesting, he was not the only one in the room with a camera. in fact, there was no restriction whatsoever. it was in a private home. people were taking pictures. people were doing what they do with their cameras. he just set it right there on the counter there and let it do all the work. then he realized what he had. that s when, of course, the story started to unfold and personally it is quite a journey for the guy. you know, he could have gone obviously on 60 minutes. they ve been after him. every news magazine in the country s been after him. but this is a pure guy. he didn t sell himself out. he wasn t trying to get a bang for a buck. he didn t want to inject himself into the election cycle. he knew what he had. but he knew he had to get the story out to the american people because he thought there were some serious discrepancies in mitt romney and what he was all about. and he will tell the story tonight on what really tripped his trigger as to why he had to do this and what he thought was the serious, serious injustice being played out. romney was asked about that 47% comment on fox earlier this month. let s take a look at what he said then so many months later. let s watch. it was a very unfortunate statement that i made. it s not what i meant. i didn t express myself as i wished i would have. you know, when you speak in private, you don t spend as much time thinking about how something could be twisted and distorted and can come out wrong and be used. but, you know, i did, and it was very harmful. what i said is not what i believe. wow. it s not right wing, left wing, upper class, rich screwing people. it s political confidence. that guy should never have been president of the united states. first of all, everything he said there was not true. what did he mean to say, 46%? what was this error he committed? he deliberately in fact, listening to the tape again, ed, i know you listened to it again. i just is clear how he thought about it. how he meant this is my crowd. these are the people that are going to vote for me. this other crowd i need you more than ever because this other crowd of people who depend on some of these programs aren t going to vote for me. so i need you even more. it was a pitch is what it was. there s no question about it. that interview, that clip that you just played was the turning point. that was the tipping point. that s when this man decided that he was going to go public. and he chose my venue, the ed show, because we advocate for workers. we ve been doing that since the day i was going to ask you about your trade craft and how you got this get. it s just he came to you and he said this is my guy, you know, as simple as that? chris, as you well know we all work on interviews. some you get, some you don t. i met this man during the inauguration. he knew who i was. he saw our show in freeport, illinois. he knew what we were all about, what we were fighting for. we were the show that was out there as many others telling the story about income inequality and how workers in this country are getting shafted by the people who were sitting in that room. it was mitt romney s story that motivated him to do this. do you realize covering politics the way we do that that it depends if it s on tape or not? i was thinking of nixon s comments about jewish people and everything else wasn t on tape he would still be president for eight years. if that george allen hasn t said macaca to that kid with the cell phone he would still be the senator. if obama hadn t said what he should have never said to the rich people in san francisco about clinging to guns and religion he would have been better off. it s fascinating how new technology, as you say, the social networking is really democratizing things for both sides. he wanted to make sure it was organic. he wanted to make sure the american people knew he wasn t going to be profiting off this. that this was a real deal, that people needed to know, and he wanted to go in the grassroots and let it grow from there. the big thing, i am i was so struck by the nobility of this man and the character of this man and how how untarnished how unvarnished he was. he was not tarnished politically in any way, shape or form. and he talks about that tonight. this was not a get moment. this was something he fell into. and it evolved into a political game changer. i don t think fundraisers are ever going to be the same again. no, i don t understand. i think the secrecy, the privacy, is gone. anyway. i hope everyone sticks around after my show tonight and watches your show. ed schultz with the big get tonight. we ll be watching your exclusive interview as i said tonight at 8:00 on the ed show. up next, disturbing testimony on capitol hill about the prevalence of sexual assault including rape in the u.s. military between people in the uniforms. do you believe it?

or is it just newly understood? it s not new, that s for sure. chris, we have the greatest military in the world and i m grateful for the courage of those who served. but in these instances, we re talking about predators. they re criminals who are targeting their victims and we re talking about 19,000 sexual assaults and rapes each year. more than half against men. and of that, only 2,400 are actually reported. of that, only 240 go to trial. of that, only about 190 are actually convicted. so you re talking about 1 in 100 convictions for these kinds of crimes. and what we re looking for in this hearing is we re looking for a way to make sure that justice is served. because we have to change the dynamics, we have did change the culture, we have to make it possible for men and women who are victims to actually report these cases so we can have conviction rates increase and have more accountability. thank you for joining us. give me a sense of what it s like, the atmosphere. is it injustice? is it just big-shot men lording it over women and covering up for bad, in fact criminal, behavior? i think military culture is about a generation behind where civilian culture is on issues of rape, sexual harassment, sexual assault in the workplace. when you have an insular system that isolates servicemembers from outside forms of redress that really intimidates the survivor, even i would say in a bigger way than even civilian victims, because you re often operating within your chain of commands. it s a hierarchal system in which you re intimidated oftentimes by those who outrank you. the vast majority of these 19,000 victims are junior enlisted. just over half of them are male so it s not a women s issue. universally, we know victims feel they are not getting their fair shot at justice. they re either retaliated against by false diagnoses like personality disorders, drummed out of the military, while their senior perpetrator is promoted, given command, maybe transferred out of the unit without any form of why? can you give me the motive? explain it to the outside who haven t been in the military. why would they cover up i don t mean whistling at a girl or something that might be bad behavior, gross behavior, but not criminal. let s talk about criminal cases where somebody s physically assaulted or raped. why would anybody cover that up? physical assault is a criminal matter, it s a serious criminal matter, they put you in jails if you do it in civilian life. why do they cover up that part of it? that s what i don t get. that s a great question and i think that needs to be asked directly to the military. i saw it myself as a company commander where my senior commanders swept these cases under the rug, rape cases, sexual assault cases, sexual harassment cases, routinely under the rug. i think it s self-protection, there s careerism in the officer ranks, there s a huge desire to protect oneself and move on. i love the marines, the military is a great military, but we have a serious problem with the treatment of women in particular. and also rape mythology, victim blaming, which we see throughout society as well, but in that insulated system where you really have nowhere to go, you can t quit your job, you re really stuck with the outcome the commander provides. let me get back to the senator about corrections. it s a culture, it s hard to deal with a culture, you set rules and teach people as they get trained first of all, i have to tell you, i don t get it. a rape is a rape. used to be a capital crime in part of the united states. you don t kid around, cover up, you don t do business with them. why would anybody say that s the old boy and protect a person who s committed almost a capital crime? why would you protect a guy like that? one thing we re trying to change is there s this thing called a convening authority, be a general up the chain of command who has the decision-making authority to decide whether an allegation goes forward to an investigation and to a trial. and our view is that general, that commanding officer, isn t necessarily trained in rape, isn t trained in legal theory, isn t trained in prosecutorial discretion. so that convening authority is creating a, let s just say, it s a narrowing aspect where not enough cases are actually proceeding. and then, even worse than that we have an example of this, where the convening authority had the opportunity to look at a jury s verdict that had convicted this perpetrator and actually overturned it. not having reviewed the evidence. not having heard the testimony. just looking at some clemency letters. it s disgraceful if you can have a system where there s no accountability. one last question. what percentage of men in the military or women are evil in this regard? 10%? 1 of 10? or worse than that? 1 of 100? i would say it s a very small percentage. the point is though that they re serial predators. you don t just rape once, you often rape several times, and the lack of accountability just encourages these serial predators. well said. thank you for that information. we re going to have to see something get done. senator, we trust you to get something done. kristen gillibrand from new york, thank you. i know you re a victim as well. when we return let me finish with a big surprise out of the vatican. a pope committed to social justice. this is going to be great, i think. you re watching hardball, the place for politics. right. but the most important feature of all is. the capital one purchase eraser. i can redeem the double miles i earned with my venture card to erase recent travel purchases. and with a few clicks, this mission never happened. uh, what s this button do?

incident involves carnival s legend a day after the dream reported problems. carnival says no passengers are in any danger and this is all happening just a few days after the company s ceo promised a comprehensive investigation of its fleet following last month s triumph disaster. problems aboard two carnival ships in two days. the carnival legend slowed down overnight by a technical issue. with its propulsion system in hon duress. its visit to grand cayman now canceled as it slowly heads back to tampa. this as 5700 passengers and crew of the carnival dream are waking up in st. maarten. their vacations also cut short. things break down, they can t help it. reporter: on wednesday while in port the crew discovered a problem with the ship s backup emergency diesel generator. carnival says the docked ship never lost power and elevators and at least one restroom stopped working for a few hours. the dream was on the last leg of a seven-day cruise that started in port canaveral with stops in nassau, st. thomas and st. maarten. now passengers will be headed home for on flights paid by carnival. the company extended their sincere apologies. they ve been great. there s no trouble. it s like a regular port day. no trouble. reporter: some passengers cracked jokes on twitter, how dare they strand us on a tropical island. others were not amused. carnival better step up to the plate because it s not looking good for them. reporter: a much less dire situation for carnival last month when 4,200 passengers were stranded in the gulf of mexico for five days, no power, no working toilets and no running water. experts wonder how customers will react to the recent problems. for the industry as a whole it puts a black eye on it. reporter: the carnival dream has canceled its next cruise

story overnight, ohio senator rob portman, a key republican and one of mitt romney s close confidants, reversing his stand on same-sex marriage. this as governor romney returns to the spotlight today, addressing a major gathering of conservative leaders. nbc s peter alexander covered the romney campaign, good morning. good morning to you. senator rob portman is growing a list of republicans supporting gay marriage. saying he now has what he called a new perspective as a dad learning that his college-age son is gay. his change of position comes a week before the supreme court is going to hear oral arguments over a 1996 federal law, that law asserts that gay marriage is not legal and it s a measure that portman himself co-sponsored at the time. i see the romney/ryan team going all the way to the white house! reporter: for the prominent ohio conservative, senator rob portman who was a fixture at one time considered a favorite to become mitt romney s running mate it s a dramatic reversal on gay marriage. i ve come to the conclusion for me personally i think this is something that we should allow people to do, to get married and to have the joy and the stability of marriage that i ve had for over 26 years. i want all three of my kids to have it, including our son, who is gay. reporter: portman has voted against same-sex marriage many times in the past. today mitt romney marches back into the political spotlight, his remarks at an annual conference for conservatives marking romney s first public speech since he exited the stage last fall. since then we ve seen rare glimpses of the former republican nominee. move on. i don t spend my life looking back. reporter: these days he s enjoying more time with his grandkids and just this week celebrated his 66th birthday. his oldest son tagg says he doesn t want to be back, he s done. he wants to show conservatives across the spectrum he s not in hibernation, that this defeat last november has not devastated him. reporter: the republican party faces an identity crisis with no clear leader and no clear path to widening its appeal. among those vying for conservative support thursday, florida senator marco rubio who insisted americans should be able to respectfully disagree about gay marriage. just because i believe that states should have the right to define marriage in a traditional way does not make me a bigot. reporter: governor romney is not the only high profile speaker on tap today, matt. also taking the stage jeb bush, donald trump, paul ryan. if you need any more evidence of the divide that exists in the republican party consider this, one of the most popular figures in the party, new jersey governor chris christie, a guy who praised president obama s response to hurricane sandy last fall, was not invited. all right, peter alexander in washington. peter, thank you very much. to the vatican where pope francis is addressing his cardinals as he settles into his role as leader of the vatican church. natalie is at the vatican, good morning to you. good morning to you, savannah. well in style and substance we re seeing a new tone already for the papacy. a message of simplicity, shunning wealth, and a message of humility. in his meeting with the cardinals this morning, pope francis was getting off the throne and just stumbled there, proving he is human, and proving that he is not perfect. in his first mass before them thursday, according to reports, the pope refused to even deliver the homily that was prepared for him and instead chose to preach off the cuff using his own words, and not from the papal throne but from the pulpit like a regular parish priest. in clementine hall at vatican city this morning the college of cardinals had an audience with their new boss, pope francis met with the group who elected him less than 48 hours ago along with those cardinals not allowed to vote because of an age restriction, 80 and over. tomorrow the pope meets the world press where he s expected to outline his vision for the church, one sure to include his deep concern for the poor. pope francis, coming out of latin america, is very much impassioned by a desire to make the church present to people in the suffering. reporter: in buenos aires where he spent most of his life archbishop bergoglio is beloved in the poor neighborhoods where he ministered. translator: everyone who comes to the church has a picture with him. pictures of their confirmation, first commune yub, pictures when he came to visit. reporter: there is debate over his record when he was a priest 30 years ago during argentina s dirty war. some human rights activists say he failed to confront the military dictatorship that kidnapped and killed thousands of its opponents. known for his humility he avoided the luxuries afforded a cardinal, opting to catch a bus or ride the subway, instead of a chauffeur-driven car. that didn t change after he was elected pope. we walked out of the sistine chapel and there s the car, which had been used for about 12 days. i thought, well, we re back to normal, and they have the little pullmans to take him to saint marta s. so he got on that. he said that s okay i m going with the cardinals. it was beautiful. reporter: in argentina they call francis the slum pope because he was known to visit the most dangerous parts to preach to the poor and considered to be one of their own. meanwhile on sunday, from that window right there, outside the papal study, pope francis will deliver his first noon blessing before the thousands who will be here in st. peter s square. and as he will do from now on every sunday, as long as he is here at the vatican. savannah? natalie morales at the vatic vatican. thanks so much. i m going to head to the vatican for the pope s official installation. i ll do that early next week and we ll have complete coverage next tuesday right here on today. tamron hall is here for natalie with the other top stories. good morning, everyone. a terrifying accident overnight in downtown miami where a massive l.e.d. screen collapsed on workers, injuring at least two people, that screen was part of the stage for the ultramusic festival set to begin today. ahead of his trip to the middle east, the president spoke to an israeli tv station detailing his position on iran and nuclear weapons. now we think it would take over a year or so for iran to actually develop a nuclear weapon, but obviously we don t want to cut it too close. president obama said all options are on the table to keep nuclear weapons out of iran s arsenal. in the meantime he said that the u.s. will keep the toughest sanctions in place on iran s economy. a subatomic particle discovered last summer is looking like an elusive higgs boson. on thursday the scientists made the breakthrough announcement about the so-called god particle that experts say gives mass to all other particles in the universe. particles were detected during

a. a 9-year-old boy and his 10-year-old friend are being held heroes this morning after helping a mother save her young son. susannah was sitting in her living room when she noticed something was wrong with her son. he seemed non-responsive to my smile so at that point i put my finger under his nose and realized he wasn t breathing. rome ran outside for help and found 9-year-old rocky hurt and 10-year-old ethan wilson across the street. we were out there playing football and somebody yelled called 911. back inside rome panicked. i was continuing to scream, not knowing what to do, and then rocky runs in, who i d never met, and he s standing behind me. reporter: rome says she splashed water on the baby s face and began to do cpr when the boys stopped her. and i just said, this cpr, you re not doing it correctly. i told her to push on the baby s chest five to ten times with only two fingers, tilt back the baby s head. plug the nose. plug the nose. and breathe into the mouth. the baby s mouth. he said it so confidently i listened to him right away. within seconds the baby responded, a short time after, paramedics arrived. because baby isaiah, he like screamed and i told her that s a good sign because the baby is breathing. reporter: the boys said they ve been friends since they were toddlers learned how to do cpr two months ago from signs posted in their school cafeteria. we wanted to know in case it happened but we never knew we d have to do that. in our lives. if rocky hadn t been outside playing right then i definitely wouldn t have him sitting in my lap right now, so. pretty amazing. now here s matt. savannah, thanks. we ve got proof this morning of the power of the internet and something many of you have heard of. a website called kick-starter. the creator of the canceled tv show veronica mars put out a call to raise money to fund a movie version and the donations are still pouring in. tamron is back with that story. this is the largest project in the history of kickstarter, raising more than $2 million in ten hours. this morning the total is now well over $3 million, and veronica mars fans appear to be well on their way to seeing their favorite show on the big screen. when show creator rob thomas wanted to make a movie version of the now canceled tv show veronica mars he didn t go to a studio to raise money, he went straight to the fans. and boy did they respond. oh my god, $3 million! it all started when he suggested to star kristen bell that they try the crowd founding web site kick-starter who reach loyal fans who were always asking whether they make a movie. i d say we have the fans fund the movie. if we reach our fund-raising goal we ll shoot the movie this summer. fans were quick to respond, contributing an average of $50 apiece. but what did they get? $2500 they could spend the day on the set being an extra with veronica mars. for $400 they ll personalize your voicemail or follow you on twitter. one person paid $10,000 to have a speaking role in the movie. i play a waiter, it s a really a renaissance. a renaissance that bypasses studios. other kick-start projects include indy record albums and fashion like the griz coat. projects that make fans truly invested. this could be a model employed over and over. i think hollywood is looking at us as sort of a guinea pig. veronica, honey, could i see you in the kitchen? this show is over. we ve been off the air for years now. six years. to be exact. the veronica mars tv show lasted just three seasons and ended in 2007. we ve got something that was a cult hit. a cult hit with fans now willing to pay for more than just a ticket for the chance to see their show up on the big screen. some more than 49,000 have already contributed to the campaign, it still has 28 days to go but beyond veronica mars this kickstarter thing is exciting because you can fund all of these independent projects. pretty cool. i like it. that s great. coming up, a powerful new voice in the

yes, and also in terms of some of the reaction to that message, and i would probably look at myself as someone who lived that message, and i did achieve great success in my career. i m just trying to provide a bit of what i ll call a warning label that, hey, there s something else to think about as you re leaning in, so to speak. reporter: you have leaned in. i leaned in far, very far. i had many young women over time that i ve tried to give advice to, guidance to, and i would always be very honest and say don t do it like me. reporter: you mentioned consequences. what are they? a lot of things during my career that i missed out on, you know? events, relationships with people, birthday parties, just spending time with friends and family and enjoying it, and enjoying myself. there was a big thing i missed out on which is i didn t have children. didn t have children. reporter: now 47, erin callan is trying to have children and offering a life lesson she wishes someone had offered her. i wanted to be a little bit sort of a cautionary tale, like you can achieve, you can accomplish, you can have an amazing career with great success, even in a male dominated field that i did, but be careful what you wish for and the choices that you make. that was ann curry reporting. you can see more of ann s story on rock center with brian williams tonight 10:00/9:00 central time here on nbc. so much discussion it seems in the last couple months about this difficulty people are having, men and women, in finding balance between work and life. and it actually new research shows this is not a problem exclusive to women. lot of dads are confessing to feeling some guilt about not spending enough time at home. we ll have results of the research to talk about. almost 50% of fathers say they feel guilty not spending enough time with their children so they ll talk about how you could perhaps alleviate that guilt. we head outside to al and his band for a check of the weather. actually the band had to leave and i misspoke, the vcu peppers are from the atlantic ten, the atlantic ten so not the big east, atlantic ten. let s take a look at your weather as we look ahead for today. look at these temperatures, afternoon temperatures, teens and 20s in the northern plains but look at how hot it s going to be in the mid plains from texas into oklahoma, kansas, temperatures will be in the 80s and 90s, even the 70s. sadly though in the same area is where we re looking at extreme to exceptional drought. we re already starting the warm weather season way behind as far as the drought is concerned, so this does not look like another good year, hopefully not as bad as last year but it s on track to be that way. clipper bringing snow from the dakotas into upstate new york. record highs in the center of the country, beautiful weather along the mid-atlantic coast. rip currents continue along the east coast of florida and gorgeous day aening 7:36. taking a live look over san francisco. really cool picture here. you can actually see the sun breaking through the clouds and shining a spotlight on the trance america pyramid. aeautiful day shaping up. as we head throughout the day. 75 degrees on the way. happy friday, livermore. 75 in santa teresa and 78 for gilroy. meanwhile, along the coast, a little bit cooler. 69 in san francisco. 70 in oakland today. getting into the weekend, comfortable and we need the rain. on its way tuesday into wednesday of next week. and a good group of kids, kids who care incorporated, musical theater in ft. worth, thank you for coming down. nice to see you guys. all right, let s head back inside with savannah. all right, al, thanks. teen superstar justin bieber is in the headlines after responding to some recent criticism about his behavior. nbc s mara schiavocampo has more. in the last few months the 19-year-old s squeaky clean image has taken a hit. let me talk to you, if i was your boyfriend, i d never let you go are a rough few months of negative press, 19-year-old justin bieber had a lengthy instagram rant, everyone in my team has been telling me keep the press happy but i m tired of all the lies in the countless press right now. if anyone believes i need rehab that s their stupidity. a wild night in london after his 19th birthday sporting a gas mask, getting booed by fans for starting a concert two hours late and on stage health scare followed by a shirtless night at the hospital and a near scuffle with pop ra with paparazzi. i honestly don t care if you don t believe in me because i believe in me and look where that s gotten me so far. at 19 his behavior is not that untypical from your college freshmen. jen cortez worries about the impact his latest behavior could have on her 12-year-old daughter elizabeth. as a mom i m concerned, i m afraid that he will go slowly down a path that he won t get out of perhaps. his recent behavior has affected me a little, but it won t make me stop liking him. reporter: like bieber s fans, his critics are unlikely to go away but the pop star seems determined to persevere. i m human. i m gonna make mistake, i m gonna grow and get better from them. following his online rant, bieber performed a concert in madrid that went off without a hitch. he moves on to the rest of the european leg of his tour doing what he does best, performing. thank you so much. still ahead some of the most talented young people in the country, we ll introduce you to today s stars of tomorrow. up next, would a nap at work improve your productivity?

hal runkel is author of scream free parenting and therapist, and go the blank to sleep and chris, good morning, nice to see you. father, father, father, correct. 43% of dads feeling guilt they re not spending enough time with their children. should we be guilty? i don t think guilt is the right response. you should be feeling conflict. women have been feeling conflict for a long time saying hey well now you get to feel what we ve been feeling for a long time. how do you think it would compare if the survey were taken 20 years ago? i think the bar is set low for fathers. if i go out in public with my kid and she happens to be wearing watching socks i m father of the year, i get free parenting advice from strangers on the street. mothers there s a high level of confidence expected from the public. we have to overcome the bumbling father. if you re a dad and feeling guilty should you tell your kids, should you express it to your kids or is that something you keep private? i don t think you can keep it private. i think it shows through your actions. i think feeling guilty is just another way of improving yourself, making yourself work harder, and being a better dad. when you deal with dads, do you encourage them to express it or do you think it hurts the family dynamic and how do the kids feel about it in. i ll tell you a story, i travel for a living so i missed a recital and i asked my daughter and told her, you know what, i m sorry i missed it, i wish i could have been there. she s like what? i wish i no, you don t, you chose to be at work. don t you tell us to take responsibility for our own decisions? yes. so you chose to be at work. i m not upset about that but own up to your own choices. sometimes it s not we choose to be at work, we have to be at work. i think it s still a choice. i think the key is that when you are there you ve got to be fully present. my daughter certainly tells me when i am splitting my attention between her and my cell phone and my computer. i might not be there all the time, i might be on the road but when i am there i try to let her know that it s about connecting. and i think that we are, society expects dads to keep the same role that we had 20 years ago of always working, working, working, and when we take that extra step to be there, to be more active and i think it s more surprising and so we know where we might be just dads just every day we re trying to do that extra step. and adam makes a good point. what i found in my life is that it takes very little time to make a big difference in terms of them thinking you are right there with them. but if you re motivated by guilt then it s harder to fully be present. guilt is a good motivation to get things started but it s not a lasting motivation. we re talking about conflict, you re trying to do a lot of great things with a finite resource, time. you re going to experience conflict. if you feel guilty because you haven t spent enough time, fine. if you re feeling conflict because you re trying to do great things with a finite resource, welcome to adulthood. clear subject on the minds of half the fathers in the country. thanks, guys, appreciate it. coming up, what s new, what s up, necessawhat he s in hottest lines for the spring. so let s break down this play. charles?

yeah. what did you tell him? i told him it s not, it was just a blank canvas. from van gogh to monet he s inspired by the masters, but a true inspiration 80 years his senior. did you find that picture somewhere else and decided you wanted to recreate it? it was in a book of ray allen s paintings and i thought it was cool. if you could meet any artist in the world who would you want to meet? raelis. raelis is known around the world for his beautiful depictions of nature, 91 years young he paints from his home in martha s vinyard. you have a ton of brushes. ray and josh met this week for the first time at ray s studio. i think it s remarkable what he s done with oil painting at 10 years old. reporter: two painters, decades apart, brought to the by their love of the art. when you squint your eyes at it, it s sort of a light blue, right? i was lucky enough to get a short lesson from josh and i ll tell you oil painting is very unforgiving, it s tough. it is and josh chase is here. we are so impressed. why did you decide to start painting and to figure out you re pretty good at it? yes, i decided painting because i like a lot of different arts and crafts and i thought painting would be fun and i found oil paints and started doing them and i really like them. we have a bunch here. is there one that s your favorite that you want to show us? yeah, i like this one, my brother. it looks just like your brother, i have to say. yeah. it s not as good close up but farther back it s good. looks good to us. was it pretty cool to meet your hero, ray ellis? it was fun, his studio is cool and his paintings are awesome. this one you re inspired by ray ellis with this one. this is my first one so i was looking through books. i didn t really know a lot of the painters, and then i saw this one and i thought the trees in the background were cool and the house and the little person in the yard. this is the one you gave to your dad, right? yeah. what did he say when he got it? he was amazed and then my grandpa saw it and he thought it was a paint-by-number. all talent. josh chase thank you so much. we re so impressed. good luck to you. okay. here s tamron. all right, savannah. most teen girls are worried about school, boys and their friends, but our next star of tomorrow is busy building a fashion empire, meet 16-year-old courtney allegra, here alongside very well established fashion designer rachel roy. good morning, ladies. good to see you. good morning. thank you. i m sporting one of courtney s designs, a vest and skirt. you have 50 pieces in your collection and started designing at the age of 12. yes. let me bring out some of your collection here. i instantly thought rihanna, funky, edgy, downtown. classy but at the same time fun. as you see the neon it s an a-line shape and it shows enough of your leg but also the balmer jacket is cropped so it s slimming and super cute. turn around in the bomber jacket, you have the name on the back of this jacket with the yellow. it s so cute. courtney allegra. where did you find your inspiration? i found my inspiration everywhere, traveling, different movies even. wow. and rachel, you ve been in the business a long time. i have. you started out young as well. not as this storied lady. what does she have? she has an idea and she implemented it and not many people do that. a lot of us have an idea but we re not willing to work it all the way through. so for her to take a sketch and then go find the fabric, and then find the pattern, and get it made. you know that just shows her dead significance and choosing a passion doesn t feel like work as much. how do you balance it with school and the other things that 16-year-olds do. you re a normal 16-year-old girl. i m busy, i have no social life anymore but i really love doing it so i m going to stick to it. it s your dedication and passion. what about her brand? how does she develop the courtney allegra brand? she s doing so well. we actually spent some time together yesterday and i really got to learn a lot more about her. but what i would say, and probably the best advise that i got when i first was starting out is to really have a point of view. to defend it. to define it. and to stick to it no matter what is going on. what trends are going on. really know who you re designing for. and what i love you already have e-commerce. she s got a website. she has her own website and you re always going to have a customer if you have your own website. you don t have to depend on others and that s key as well. that s great advice any person can take but especially kids out there. you re working on which collection now? i m working on, as you see the neon is spring and then the other two are pre-fall. oh, into pre-fall. congratulations. i love this outfit. thank you. it s rockin . thank you courtney and rachel. up next a star of tomorrow from the world of baking, yes, baking, but first, this is today on nbc. back at 8:50, 13-year-old lila patin, the creator of her own online cupcake business called flourgal.com. lilja is here along with her mom, monica. good morning to you. good morning. how did you know you have this passion for baking? my grandma would bring treats when she came to visit and i wanted to make treats just like that so i developed a passion for baking. you re selling 30 dozen cupcakes a month. are you surprised at her success, monica? not at all, no. she is just a very driven child, we re very proud of her. a talented one. the first one is fascinating a mexicali jalapeno jelly with an avocado buttercream. yes. the afrivocado jelly is a recip you can put on cream cheese or crackers. you take the core and core the cupcake. you want to try it?

my dad, he s irish and he said you need to make a cupcake for all the irish people out there so i did. and monica you re okay with her handling beer and bailey s irish cream? yes, i buy all the ingredients for her. that s fantastic. that is really great. perfect for irish eyes, they ll be smiling. what s the last one? this is a lilja original, and it has a lemon buttercream, a vanilla cake and raspberry filling. are you hoping to be one of those cup take war type people open up your own cupcake shop? i m hoping to win cupcake wars. you want to be on cupcake wars. maybe they ll do cupcake wars jr. that would be awesome. you want to move and take baking courses? i want to focus more on business so if i ever do lose my passion for baking i can do another business. i don t see that happening. no. not with what you created, that is fantastic. hi, delicious. what is your favorite, what should we try? the lilja s, that s very good. monica, how difficult is it to have such a talented daughter in the kitchen? you feel a little competition there? no, because i ve never been a baker. works out. where did she get her baking talent from? i think my mom, definitely not from me. the family is supportive. her older brother and sister are the official taste testers and my husband and i are the delivery drivers. what s going to happen when she s doing 30 dozen cupcakes a month, if this explodes much bigger? we re hoping to get into a storefront, and www.flourgal.com. congratulations to all of our stars of tomorrow. first let s take a friday flashback look at how our week unfolded here on today. all eyes are on the vatican this morning where the cardinals are just hours away from taking their first vote in the process of selecting the next pope. the black smoke signaling that the cardinals had taken two votes this morning as expected, and both votes were inconclusive. the surprise and thrilled reaction from catholics around the world with the election of the argentinean cardinal francis bore goal yo. a black hawk helicopter went down. bringing to a number of 12 american deaths in afghanistan. are you hopeful? sure, sure, more than hopeful, savannah, i have an intention to live each day s moment fully, like right now all there is is savannah and val. the amazing david copperfield showing us one of the illusions that made him a living legend. come on! magic monday on today. future today show host. so glad you made it all right. okay, suddenly not the coolest person anymore. oh! ooh! jirard butler welcome back, good to see you. and the duggars have taken over t is filled to capacity which is always is. woo-wee. some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood playing before billy joel. we have nicole paluzzo, aka snooki. i got a chance to try out, my gosh it was crazy, a dream come true. this is going to be great. i like it! i do, too! good friday morning to you. the search has resumed for a scotts valley man. canine units will be used today to try to find 29-year-old matthew abraham. he was last seen at his home on doby lane. he recently suffered a head injury and they re worried. let s check the forecast now with meteorologist christina loren, and a nice day ahead. beautiful day and a beautiful weekend, which is great news because it s st. paddy s day on sunday. the parade is actually on saturday, so keep that in mind. 75 degrees. 67 at the coast. we need the rain at this point. it is on the way. tuesday into wednesday, most expected on wednesday. shop like a fashionista. today i got these amazing designer heels. save like a maxxinista. what to get rid of this time? designer brands at t.j. prices. t.j.maxx. welcome to today on this friday morning, march the 15th, 2013, it is the ides of march. pictures, the babies. we hope the ides of march turns out better for you an julius caesar. inside studio 1a i m willie geist along with al roker and prince s favorite tamron hall. what do you say that? it s a compliment. natalie morales is at the vatican. we re getting take three more joe biden, being biden, yesterday the white house launched a new series on its website an audio series called being biden which is a glimpse into the world of the vice president. basically what he s going to do is take a still photograph from time to time and explain it, give the back story, tell what he was thinking, who are the people in that photograph, his first one he says he wanted to give, start the audio series to give a closer look inside the life of the white house and the presidency, so we re going to get a lot of back story and a lot of joe biden. i can t get enough joe biden. you re biden s favorite anchor/meteorologist. yes he wrote a theme song for me. you want to hear it, here it goes. so what do you think, what is being biden? you know what? i think right now it s probably going to be kind of tame because vice president biden doesn t want to scare anybody but then i think as things go along and the white house stops paying attention he s going to let loose. we ll get the full biden which we hope looks something like this, remember from january? you ve got a million-dollar smile. there s a lot to smile about. i want you next to me, i want to you next to me. need any help working on your pecs, let me know. holy mackerel. holy mackerel! it was really off that clip that in january there was a formal petition posted to whitehouse.gov to give the vice president his own show, it was on parks and rec, the ideal man had the brains of george clooney and body of joe biden. i love the touch of the face that he does, rub the face. how did that go? there it is. doesn t feel the same, biden does it better. no, no, no. so more joe biden by popular demand. our take two, this is veronica mars movie on kickstarter, it s a film based on a tv show a few years ago that was canceled in 2007 after three seasons but has a big cult following so on the website kickstarter fans contributed $2 million in less than 12 hours. as of this morning, we re over $3 million and still with 28 more days to go. what do they get for that? kickstarter is not an investment. you re just backing it. in return you get things like a walk-on part in the film or kristen bell will kickstarter i have an account, a hair stylist focuses on women with alopecia, lost their hair in breast cancer treatment i made a donation and if she reaches her amount by that goal date my money goes to her but if she doesn t the money goes back to you. it gives people a chance to invest in the media and you can invest in movies. a lot of documentary films are made this way, iphone apps. it s my new favorite thing. i really like this. there s a place on the site to fund tamron s soundtrack for her show. wow, it all comes back to starts with prince and my mom used to do that, what is that buzzing here? buzz, buzz. go away. we worked that out, we ll move on to our take three. what have you got? a big one. talking men and lying. tamron we need you. men s health is breaking down men and their tendency to lie. the truth about lying, men come forward, men objectively lie more often than women. they found in this study of 1,092 average men knno we don t told 1,092 lies and most men think they know when their woman is lying. 63% are confident know when their wife or girlfriend is telling a lie which may be more naivet. the most they lie about is their height and women it s their weight. makes sense. and the fourth finding watch out, single ladies, one in two men have lied on a first date. hmm. so al, are you like a white liar or i will admit i uh-oh. that s a tell when you tap your face that it s lying. or i could just itch. anyway i m telling. i used to lie a lot about what i ate. nobody knew you felt you would be judged. that makes sense as well. i think men lie more to cover their tails and women lie more to make people feel bet sore if your friend says do i look good in this dress you ll say yes and men lie because when you were boys, who knocked over something, who did that, not me. but i was think being this last night, i think women really don t care if men lie more as long as it s not the man in their life. i don t care what you two do but as long as the man in my life, wink, isn t lying to me. good to know, al, we can just lie to her face on a daily basis. you do, you tell me you like me. we love you! i was fishing for a comment. oh, do your wives know when you re lying. i would not have asked you that question because i didn t want to get you in trouble but does your wife know?

announcer: tooled s health is brought to you by polident. use polident every day. thanks this morning on today s health treating adult acne. here to talk about how to treat it in adults is dermatologist dr. deborah wattenberg. good morning, goed to see you. this is a pretty big problem for adults. more than 18 million people suffer from acne and more than 50% of adult women complain about their acne. the biggest difference between adult and teenage acne is its location. for adults it tends to be on the jawline and on the chin and on the neck so it changes quite a bit from teenage acne. what about our lifestyle contributes to acne? we used to hear the wife s tales not eating chocolate when we were teenagers. what is the truth with that? diet, there s scientific evidence to show that people who eat a diet high glycemic index, things high in refined sugars, carbohydrates, dairy, those products are aggravating acne and making acne worse so there s not enough science to do a complete elimination diet but i recommend a healthy diet because the sugar and not necessarily the cocoa but the sugar is causing acne. the other thing is lots of stress. it releases cortisol which causes acne in a lot of people as well. we re going to talk about some of the more conventional treatments. there s high tech light therapy you re excited about. the light therapy is a great addition to treatment for acne. there s one called pdt or photo dynamic therapy i m particularly excited about and in this machine they show a blue light in conjunction with a chemical to get applied on to the skin. the chemical gets driven into the skin, and causes the sebaceous glands and oil glands, and it works well. the before and afters you can see the improvement in someone s skin remarkably allowing them not to need antibiotics. any risks people should think is about? there are risks associated with it, mild arithema, dryness, sun senseivity and there s another machine called the isolase which is high tech as well and that actually sucks the blackheads and the whiteheads out of the skin, it s a pore purification system and this machine flashes broadband light onto the skin and cleans the skin, removes the bacteria and improves the acne. cool technology, costs you between $200 and $600 a session. it depends on the number of sessions you need and the amount of treatments you re going to get. let s go through some of the basics here. this is stuff you can find in a drugsto drugstore. people with acne need cleansers, topical products and the key thing is to look for ingredients so you want to use products that contain salycylic acid and retinol but you want them mixed with products not so irritating. for the adult female worried about drying out their skin products that contain glycerin, soy, green tea, anti-oxidants that help the skin. looking at the prescription stuff, how long should you try this stuff before you jump to prescription? i recommend at least six weeks, acne is not a quick fix and you need to be able to use the product for some period of time, 6 to 12 weeks f you re not seeing improvement, see your dermatologist. there are a lot of prescription items available and you might need something more targeted to your problem rather than using these over-the-counter. exciting stuff for people, dr. deborah wassenberg good to see you. good to see you. coming up, delicious diabetic friendly recipes, that s next after this. to clean a denture. but dentures are very different to real teeth. they re about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can grow and multiply. polident is specifically designed to clean dentures daily. its unique micro-clean formula kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains, cleaning in a better way than brushing with toothpaste. that s why dentists recommend polident.

27 weeks. we got down to florida, we were planning to stay 10-12 days and three, four days in i started to have complications. and i went to a hospital in miami and they said, you re not going anywhere and another few days i had the baby. now the baby is 2 years old and thriving. thank god. those have been tough years. i m sure. the difficult stuff a big change. and he fit in my hand. he fit right here. and when there s a big, big life change like she had, there s some, there are certain things that obviously your world gets turned inside out. it s hard to find any normalcy, isn t it? yes. in fact what maggie and her husband, craig, figured out is when you go through a big change like that unexpectedly, you have to become your own advocate and you really look to the routine that gets you through. so how do you put control around something that feels like chaos in a big life transition. you want to focus on the small every day successes or tweaks, that build a foundation of well being and order. so you want to you want to harness the power of the smau things to get through the big things. what did you do? what kind of things kind of helped you along. cally was the first person i called after everybody in our family. we re going to be here for a while. did they tell you you ll be in for a long haul. they said his due date, which was three months. my husband and i both freelance so we could work, but i had a radio show. and cally said, can you do it remotely. i went back two weeks after i had the baby and some people were shocked by that. for me as cally said, it restored some sort of normalcy to the routine and it gave me something else to focus on. because having a baby in that situation is so intense and you re not in control, there s nurses and doctors in control. it made a difference, that kind of tweak to do the show. sometimes if you take your eye off the main problem you re not paying attention to it, sometimes the little things, to make you feel a little stronger. you carve out those small actions so look at the areas in your life that are meaningful to you right now. and then break those into activities and actions that you can put into the next seven days. so for example, with maggie, she wanted to focus on her job and so she looked at how she could do her radio show remotely and be there for her son. and the small action she took was find a radio boost she could transmit from. and also she has an agnel that she put in mercer s crib, so she could be with him, but not when she couldn t actually physically be there. that s psychologically it made a huge difference, you re still holding onto it, so obviously it meant a lot. to go through that situation with the first child, you want to be there 24/7 and i think my husband and i would have slept next to his crib if we could. but this helped. people going through divorce, are there some abcs? yes. the first is again break it into small tweaks you can put in the next seven-day period and keep a calendar, all of your to-dos in one place, we tend to keep our work and our personal calendar separate. keep what you want to do at work, in your personal life, your family all in one place, you can see a map of what you re trying to accomplish. don t beat yourself up if you don t accomplish all of them. just reflect and know what you need and then keep doing it. okay. ladies. mercer is doing great?

you feel that? did nbc s political director do the job on let the president escape with are month spin? 60 minutes apologizes for a mistake on the fatal attack at benghazi. we were wrong. we made a mistake. how did that happen? we will look at what happened. the pundits are swooning over chris christie after the big re-election. he is all over the sunday snows and on the cover of time. can the romance last? this is media buzz. we have a lot of hot issues on the program. we will read some of our tweets at the end of the report. a report on 60 minutes, is a huge black eye after a security contractor said he scale add 12 wall that was overone with al-qaeda fighters. one guy saw me and he shouted, i could not believe he had seen me because it was so dark. he started walking toward me. as he came closer? i hit him with the butt of the rifle in the face. he went down. he dropped? like a stone. was his face smashed? as the washington post reports, he had filed a report to his boss saying he could not get near the compound on the night of the attack. and now he says he lied in the report telling the daily beast he did not want the supervisor to know he disobeyed orders. the reporter defended this saying the program should have disclosed he where a book being published by a division of cbs. but on friday, 60 minutes said they would run a correction the. nobody likes to admit they made a mistake. if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say you were wrong. in this case, we were wrong. we made a mistake. what happened? new york times reported that davies told the f.b.i. he did not go to the compound directly his account to 60 minutes. now we know that he told the f.b.i. a different story than what he told us. that was the moment for us when we realized we no longer had confidence in our source and we were wrong to put him on air and we apologized to owe viewers. joining us is fox news contributor who writes the top twitter column for foxnews.com. we have contributing editor at member conservative magazine , and dana milbank. what did they do? they stonewalled and did not open their mouth. it always leads to more questions from the media as the media should know, however, they bet all their marble on a guy who lied to them. they said they had systems in place to do it. the apology was rockstar. given the response of the beach benghazi story, the credibility of the witness has collapsed. how bad? a bad mistake. they had the book publisher from the same division so they knew they would make a lot of money but also what needs to be told is the story of the pressure that the independent groups like media matters but on 60 minutes. hillary clinton pushing back on everything on benghazi including questions of the timeline of the night and where the mohammed video came from, those questions are being stopped by an enormous amount of pressure from independent groups on behalf of hillary clinton. if the story was wrong as it appears, isn t the prior pressure warranted? yes, any story that any network or journalist does, that gets the coverage. when they apologized and the chairman of cbs news and also the executive producer of 60 minutes, he said we have to own this and said it is a black eye and he said this is as big a mistake as ever has been made on 60 minutes. how do they put this on the airbased on one guy writing a book who told his boss he wasn t there that night? well, they put a lot of credibility in one person which we know is dangerous. one someone goes to such length over a long period of time, you can have more confidence in that person. there is a lot of issues here internally, whether 60 minutes has enough of a relationship with the news division. there are people in cbs who probably could have done something to prevent this in the first place. this is really a case as jim would agree, of the conservative mainstream media getting the story wrong. i have to take you on about this. i disagree. i think 60 minutes is the gold standard for news and jeff is an amazing producer and has worked his way up. laura started in 2002 and has put herself in harm s way. i m not saying mistakes weren t made but i think to say that someone in the news division could have seen this is offing. there a phenomenon of group think, when you are convinced the story is real, all the evidence that could disconfirm the belief is ignored. there are more resources cbs could have brought to bear which could have been used. fox news producer spoke to the source several times but stopped talking to the guy when he asked for money. fox said it stands by the benghazi reporting and it is an important story. to wrap this up it was 60 minutes that, too, had the dan rather george bush national guard story. is this in the same class? actually, a former cbs news reporter was quoted by reporter of washington post saying it is not as big a deal. what made that powerful was that rather was obsessed with destroying the bush family. this is just, look, cbs took a little while to admit the mistake but in three or four days they owned it. though apologized. as cbs said it will be a blip. he said you have to say you were wrong and in this case we are wrong. that kind of apology give you a lot credibility. better apology because unlike the case of dan rather who was ordered to apologize, everyone now at 60 minutes recognizes it was a screwup. president obama is under a lot of pressure over the health carol out in his famous promise if you like your plan you can keep it sat down with nbc report other. do you feel like you owe the folks an apology for misleading them, they feel mislead the you have seen the anger. i reyet regret very much what we intended to do we were not as clear as we need to be the i am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurance they got from me. the president went to a guy with msnbc and how did he do? it was a semi apology. he asked some tough questions about health and human services secretary sebelius and about the website, did you know certain things? when did you know it? he bobbed on that. he mentioned a chicago tribune columnist who called the president ally arrest. that is from the hometown tribune. he said a lot of liberals were not happy. my point is that this is a 25 minute interview and we saw clips from the interview and the of supers are done very differently when they are not live than a live interview. you have much more time. they both looked more conversational than you would in a confrontational interview. jim, this was big news but not so much in the new york times as it was else y. new york times had tried to spin it for the president saying he misspoke. that was the editorial. that is the flag ship of liberalism. four days before on the front page, millions eligible for free policies. i thought the few of the mat not to put that story on page as most newspapers did, was either a misjudgment or denial. do you agree? i would. the back story was, look, sebelius is not equipped for the job and the president, six weeks into it the gold standard for presidential apology is john f. kennedy in 1961 after the bay of pigs he went on tv and said i am the responsible officer of this government. period. that the 308s the polls went up after that. the apology looks forced. it did not seem sincere. but the larger picture, maybe the instance with new york times this president has been pummeled for three or three weeks by the we media. it has been relentless. between that and the cbs story that turned out to be false going after the administration on benghazi, we should be sitting back and say, wait, what is this about the liberal mainstream media? aren t you one of those people in the media? absolutely. and people on your side, they are not lying the president s apology because he never said, yes i misled the country or i m sorry. he talked about impact of his words. it is about hundreds of thousands of people, 3.5 million, being kicked off the insurance rolls by plans they thought they could keep. lot of journalists and thinkers on the left are feeling that they were lied to and this administration knew this was not going to be the case. maybe the people did not investigate that enough at the time. there is a lot of anger now that they were sold a bill of goods. it is the insurance company s fault. i thought you were going to praise dana for his candor. when we come back, the media going gaga. what is behind this romance? and bob woodward on his strained relations with the white house. when chris christie won a land slide re-election this week, the pundits were immediately talking him up. i think chris christie is an ined cancerble candidate. the guy who rose above politics, the guy who was willing to work with president obama. there s a coronation going on today for chris christie. and today, the new jersey governor not exactly in hiding, hitting four sunday morning shows. are you a moderate or a conservative? david, listen, i don t get into these labels. that s the washington, d.c. game and what all those men and women down there play. governor, what do you think of ted cruz and rand paul? what i m not going to get into the washington, d.c. game that you re trying to get me into. i think we ve established he s not going to play the washington, d.c. game. there s about 12 other references to that. is christie getting press in part because mainstream reporters like his views better was as opposed to ted cruz? i did win a big victory in a media intense state. but i think you re on to something, and that is the media, i predict, will love christie, find his interesting, and then at the moment where he actually gets if he gets the nomination against hillary clinton, they ll say, enough, we were happy to use him as a hammer on the conservatives, ted cruz and whoever, but now that it s christie versus hillary, you re going to go with hellry. so you re predicting a turn in the right. a couple years to go. and he gives access. he goes on sunday shows. he held a press conference this week, went on for an hour, it could have gone on for four. that s so different than mitt romney who is like talking to the reporters is talking to the dentist. well, i m not going to get into this washington game, but i will say you re off the show. people find christie refreshing because whether he is or not, he sounds like a truth teller. this is the build up phase for christie. there will be a knockdown phase. it s the same thing that happened with hillary clinton. puffed up and knocked down. the media build up chakt areas, marco rubio earlier, only build them up to knock them down. why are journalists swooning over this governor? because he s not sitting in a studio and says those scripted answers, although you did hear him say the same thing over and over again. he was much more cautious. he was. he needed a cup of coffee. by tend of his fourth interview, he had more momentum. but here is guy who will say when he s on an interview, sit your rear-end down. you re going to get thrown in jail. he just talks like a tough guy and that is refreshing for journalists. how about this time cover? there s been a lot of talk about it holding up. the elephant in the room. ridiculous. ridiculous? ridiculous. you were offended by this? here is a guy you re setting up to be president of the united states and you make a fat joke about him on the cover of time magazine? it s just to create buzz, sell magazines. on the inside, he said and guess what? he s a workhouse with a temper and a tongue, a guy that loves his mother and gets it done. but it was a cheap shot. time is into selling magazines. and guess who else wasn t terribly ovened by it. who cares? i mean, seriously, i m on the cover of time magazine, you know? it is certainly not the first weight joke that has been thrown my way over the course of the last four years, chris. did you get that? who cares? i will say this. that time magazine cover reminds me of a recent newsweek which did ever more and more outrageous covers as it was circling the drain into oblivion. i think they were trying to be as provocative as pbl.that s a little bit irresponsible. will there be more and more stories if christie becomes more of a player about his weight and about his temperament? i think we all think it s charming now that he wags his finger. mccain went through this, too, will he say gee, does he have the temperament to sit in the oval office? and christie makes mccain look like milk toast. i think there will be more questions about that and about his weight where people are saying, is this guy healthy enough to be in the oval office? health is an issue. but he s also getting thinner. he had the secret lap band surgery which turned out not to be so secret. all right. thanks very much for joining us on sunday. still ahead, my sit down with bob woodward. but up next, rand paul blames msnbc s rachel maddow as he responds to allegations of msnbc s rachel maddow had a contentious interview with rand paul and she s bl been at it again accusing the senator of lifting lines from a movie no one has heard of. in the not too distance future, engistics is common and that line appears almost verbatim in the wikipedia entry. paul dismissed that and a second allegation involving wikipedia as a technical matter, criticized maddow and he let loose on abc s this week. do you concede at least this is pretty sloppy? the footnote police have been dogging me for the last week. i will admit that. and i will admit sometimes we haven t footnoted things properly. i take it as an insult and say people cannot call me dishonest, misleading or misrepresenting. i have never intentionally done so. if dueling were illegal, but i think i m being targeted by hacks and haters. but then another issue, the website washington times reporting that some of the language had been verbatim lifted from the week magazine. mandatory sentencing began in response to a growing endemic. america s prison population has tripled to 2.4 million. america now jails a country, including china and iran, at a staggering cost of $08 billion a year. here is what senator rand wrote. america s prison population has quadrupled to 2.4 million. america now jails a higher percentage of its citizens than any other country, including china and iran at the staggering cost of $80 billion a year. the senator told national review that if he were a journalism teacher for taking the coverage of msnbc and the associated press, he would have failed them. the plagiarism was real and attacking the media doesn t change that. send me a tweet at this hour about our show. ahead on media buzz, bob woodward on his latest crash with the white house, his view of the obama care mess and his relationship with jeff bezos. that s next on media buzz. weap. now back to media buzz. bob woodward has reported on every president since richard nixon. now the editor has been clashing with the obama white house. how does its handling of the media compare to previous administrations? i spoke to him earlier here in studio one. bob woodward, welcome. thank you. you concluded in your book the price of politics that president obama had failed to lead. now we re hearing that he failed to lead on nsa foreign surveillance, didn t know the details, we re hearing that he failed to lead on the obama carolout, has it taken the media too long to reach this analysis? well, you ve got to be empirical about it. and that s not to take the republicans off the hook for all the budget problems. but the president has to find a way to work his will. as you recount all of this, and as i do, you see that the president is the one who calls people to the white house. they don t call him to the congress. and but it s more he has the hammer. you as an author had to reach a conclusion. and some people criticize you for that. i understand even today some in the white house are not that happy with bob bood woodward s reporting. yeah. they said i started it. started what? started this idea of he s got to lead. and he s too passive at times on these budget issues. is this white house telling you that s not accurate? are they angry? are they blaming you for this? as you know, no one likes to be criticized and called out. but they deal with reporters. i think the temperature is going up right now. there is more .more criticism on the president s comments on obama care, that, you know, if you like it, you ll keep it. and somebody has found 29 times that he said that and i ve seen it at least 29 times on the air. but on that point, you were on meet the press with david, no longer works in the white house, and he wouldn t quite concede that that was a mistake, the president used the wrong language. it almost seems like the press is trying to pull out of this administration. it s an admission that this was, at the very least, misleading and they don t want to go there. no, they don t. and on that show and it s been said a number of times, going back to 2009 when the president made a mistake on one of the cabinet nominations, he came out, went public and said i screwed up. end of quote. and i think they should do that. this obviously is a miscalculation or a screw-up and it s not correct and i think it s right for the media to kind of say, let s straighten this out. you know, millions of people are going to have to decide on their health care insurance and if the becomes a political football, oh, you can do this, no, you can t do that, it only adds to the confusion. and i think that s not in the interest of the president. i think it s possible they can if it fix this and work it out. i would say the tone of the coverage has turned much more aggressive. you see it in the jay carney briefings, in the coverage of the obama carolout. but a lot of people think too passive until now. i ve never been too passive in writing about the president. no one is saying you. but i think it is true. look, the message, managers in the white house have great sway with reporters. as you know, the people who run the daily beat have to write three or four stories or broadcasts all day .they need somebody they can talk to in the white house. and if the white house doesn t like what they re doing, the phone calls aren t returned and somebody can t really do their job in a way that they need to. is this white house more intimidating or as intimidating as some of the past administrations that have played hard ball with the press? no. look, they all play hardball that s their job. but we are in this situation now where with the cable news coverage and the internet and the impatience and speed driving everything, give it to me now, give me the sound bites that, you know, you ve got to live in that world. i don t, quite frankly, and try to spend a year or more on something and get the detail and the notes and the memos that really explain what they re saying to each other in the process. and i think when you examine that, it makes your head hurt, that this isn t a government that s working. you touched on something important about journalism, which is that journalism is increasingly moving online, what works online are blog posts and lists and tweets, reading along investigative report on the internet can be a slog. so does that make it harder? you have in a position where you can write books and take your time. does that make it harder to do this in-depth work in this era of, as you say, give it to me now? yeah, it does. and you can work for months on things or even a year and it goes up in the ether. and you may get more attention by something you say on television or something you say on the tweet. so it s a different world, but we re going to keep doing the in-depth work and, you know, the president is going to get a fair shake. i mean, i think on the last round of budget talks, the republicans and the shutdown, the republicans really did try to blackmail and as they had earlier. you can t have a negotiation where somebody says, you know, i m going to extract things from you as speaker boehner did, that i would not normally get by holding the debt ceiling hostage. some of the president s detractors compare every scandal to watergate, with which you are familiar with. irs was worth that watergate. it was said yesterday obama care is worse than watergate. wa do you make of those comparisons? it s like all these people walking around washington who are going to be president and never exactly made it. you can t predict and it depends on the information. even watergate wasn t watergate originally. it took many months for the magnitude of the crimes to be revealed. in other words, it wasn t like it exploded on day one. it took two years, two months before nixon resigned. so, you know, little patience. but i think we need to be in a really aggressive mode and look at these things. take obama care now. yeah, you need to look at the government, but you know what the big issue is? the insurance companies. what s going on? how are they looking at this? i tell you, they know how to measure profits and they re that s the lens through which they re seeing this. so we better look at the insurance companies as hard as we ve looked at the white house. what about syria? there was a time when that dominated the news and the president looked like he was going war and then he went the diplomatic route. and we ve kind of moved on. did the media suffer from add? yeah, of course we do. and but you have to deal with what s porcht now and what happened in syria. put it on hold. there are negotiations going on trying to in actual apparently i emphasize apparently destruction of chemical weapons and we went from we re going to have a tax to we re going to go to congress to now it s in the hands of vladimir putin. you ve been spending more time lately at the washington post, i am told, and you ve been there as long as i ve known you and we once worked at the same paper. that is in part because of the new owner, jeff pezos. what is your relationship with him? do you think he has not just the bank book, but the web smarts to revitalize the franchise? i ve known him for years. i think cease serious, had discussions with him. he believes in an independent newspaper and i think it s great that the post picked him to sell to. i think it s truly sad that it has to happen, but you need somebody with that much money to rely on stockholders. i m not you know, i have the little corner i see. i trust him. i think people at the washington post trust him to hold you know, it s a stewardship of a newspaper is not just, you know, some product that goes out there. it s a public trust. yes. it s more than that, actually. recently in spending more time at the newspaper, you are trying to do what? i m trying to help with stories, work on stories, i ve done some stories, working on things. again, we are in the world where i don t think we know enough about what is really going on in government. government is hidden in secretive. i think we should have that we re going to have secret government and i often quote the judge who said that democracies die in darkness. so let s hope we don t have darkness. let s hope we have a really tough press that goes in there and doesn t give up on all of these questions. and your grand salary at the newspaper is? oh, $25 a month. but i make money from books and i think you should ask bezos for a raise. no. he told me that he thought it was worth every dollar. bob woodward, thanks very much for joining us. after the break, twitter goes public. is it really worth all those billions? and does it provide an accurate snapshot of public opinion? that s next in our digital download. twitter went public this week, a far more successful debut than the rollout for facebook. wall street now valuing twitter as more than $30 billion, this for a company that didn t exist eight years ago and is now worth more than time warner, yahoo! general dynamics or general mills. these ipos drive me crazy. if you re connected to the company or one of the big brokerages, you can get in early and make all this money and everybody else is out of luck by the time they get in. all this money, $60 million went to the underwriters. the founders, jack dorsey and ed williams are now billionaires and there are 1600 more mill heirs living in silicone valley. but those are deserved. those are the rank and file engineers who have been working there tails off or their wings off, i guess. but is this company i mean, $30 billion, worth more than companies that actually make things? it seems to me like it s maybe and i love twitter, but maybe it s a little overvalued by the market? well, of course it s overvalued. but actually, if you look at the numbers, they could have made more and they chose not to. they sold 70 on million shares at $26 a share. they could have sold them at $41 a share. but they didn t want to be facebook. they didn t want to have the problems that facebook had. but even at this valuation, it seems to me like twitter has to make a lot of profits, it has to grow far more quickly than it has to now, and thaits that s going to be difficult. as much as journalists love it, a lot of on people are puzzled by it. what is it? it doesn t feel like something that s central to their lives. i was talking to someone in silicone valley and they said to me twitter has to go from being a product, something that you use, to a business. and the problem is that the business doesn t exist. they don t have enough revenue streams at this point in their early development. they only have $500 million of profit. . i want to mention this new pugh study which found twitter is not a good poll of public opinion. that skews the value of figuring out what s trending there. right. and the value, it turns out, really isn t there when it comes to public opinion. ron paul this is what the pugh study says easily won the twitter primary. easily won it? he got clobbered. he said 55% of the conversation about him was positive, 16% was negative. sglafr the newtown tragedy, 64% of the conversation supported stricter gun controls and that was not reflected in the rest of the country. so we have to take it with a grain of salt. it s still a valuable portal into what people are saying. one in ten people in the united states get their news through twitter. it has to be more than that for this to continue to be a viable company. but tech engineers right now in san francisco, if you want to start a company, ride the ipo twitter wave. it s a good time. people are going to invest. what s your sense of who is on twitter based on the what you re writing? i find a lot of politicians are on, a lot of journalists, a lot of pundits, a lot of people who hate other people. a lot of snark right now. but i would love for you to tell me, are you using twitter? how do you use twitter? do you find it a valuable tool? if you don t, twit er is going to have a very hard time moving forward. ahead on media buzz, a toronto newspaper paid for that chilling video the city s crack mayor ranting about killing someone. did that cross the line?

i found a dramatically changed vietnam. in saigon, for example, which had been rather seedy, even before colonial days, the city was awash with mercedes, rolex stores, all for the international clients, business people who come to develop business with vietnam. 3 1/2 hours south of saigon, where i fought, we went by van. and found i found a vietnam that had not changed at all. the rural part of vietnam looked pretty much the same as it had more than 40 years ago when i fought there. the odd thing was that it didn t feel the same. principally because nobody was shooting at me. but the paths and the roads were all full of people. the place looked the same as it had over 40 years ago. what was that feeling like? describe what you felt when you returned. a great feeling of displacement. your heart and your eyes are supposed to see the same thing. but they didn t in this case. and my recollection of the place was a very unpleasant one. what i saw was not particularly unpleasant. i got an opportunity to meet with the commander. the enemy commander, who at the time, in 1968, was a vietcong district chief. they had a spy in the chief s office. they knew we were coming. they had three days to prepare and launched an ambush where we lost lots of soldiers and so did they. he and i talked at great length about the battle. i got a lot of answers to questions. he verified what i suspected. it was an interesting meeting. at the end, he said, you know, in vietnamese, he said, we have peace and we re friends. and i said, we certainly have peace. there s a lot of business going on here between the united states and vietnam. but friends, i m not so sure. an amazing story, jack. jack, i wanted to ask you if you think enough is being done to support the veteran population in the u.s. there s issues with unemployment, homelessness, even issues with the care that s been provided at v.a. hospitals. what more do you think the department of veteran affairs can be doing? well, they re working hard to do what they can. their problem is they have an antiquated i.t. system. they re having a hard time dealing with the huge influx of veterans who are making demands on the system. i think it s going to be quite some time before they finally get their house in order. something that s been long overdue. but the secretary of veterans affairs, himself a decorated and wounded combat veteran, knows what to be done. and is working hard to make sure we deliver. a lot of the things that veterans need, they don t need right away. 20 years from now, when the veterans of the current conflicts start to develop the problems that are the result of the conflicts, they re going to show up at the department of veterans affairs, requiring treatment. and we better be ready for it. thank you so much for your service. we need to thank others for their service today on this veterans day. it s so nice to see you this morning. thanks for having me on. for resources for veterans, head to the web. veterans.com. nbc news.com. more women in america getting ahold of big guns. and it might not be what you think. plus, chris christie made the sunday show rounds. but does he make the case of what republicans must do to connect?
