nobody is forcing the kosher deli owner to serve a ham. in the metaphor it's more like the owner of the kosher deli is refusing to pay taxes because his money could go to food stamps which someone might theoretically use to buy ham. to be fair to darrell issa at the hearings a woman was put forth to speak on behalf of someone who needed contraception. that speaker was denied a spot because, you know, stalin rape. anyway, are these ladyless discussions of the battle between religious liberty and female preventive health care a seeming relic of a dying age? to truey understand the complexities women face in their reproductive choices let's go to our new round table segment "jon stewart's eye on the ladies."> tonight, our panel looks at the question. if a religious institution provides insurance to its secular employees, should that plan include contraception? jon oliver, let's start with you. >> no. >> jason jones. >> hell no. >> aasif mandvi. >> it's not medicine. i'm not going to pay for it. >> jon: moving on.... >> no, actually, in my exp

there was no interruption of kosher meals at nursing homes. romney is suggesting what gingrich did here is going far over the line. >> comments attacking me has been sad and painfully revealing about the speaker what he will say and do to try to take the nomination. >> reporter: there is no doubt it's been a very negative campaign on both romney and gingrich. there is mountain of advertising that has gone into this, $17 million from romney super pacs and $5-6 million supporting the gingrich campaign. >> so when it comes down who is most electable it appears romney >> shep: santorum and paul bounced but they are still on the ballot? >> they left. they are not going to come in first. there wasn't a lot of merit for them spending more time and money there. they have moved on to the upcoming states, colorado, nevada and minnesota. santorum is on the ad, bashing gingrich for supporting a whole host of democratic agenda priorities. the battle continues. there is ever single election there is something historic that happens in this primary process. w

to seat non-kosher. >> did you hear that? he's saying that mitt romney took away kosher food from holocaust survivors. >> let's not let karl rove off the hook. lizard was worse. >> it was worse. some people say listen to this mitt romney sounds all right. [ laughter ] >> exactly. >> they're like wow, he's taking food away from holocaust survivors, this man is tough. >> i want to hear more. >> news is coming out going what robo call. this is an old romney trick. is this too dirty? could it backfire on him. could other republicans get mad and say we've got to reel this guy back. >> what happened in that, the background is that romney vetoed an increase in the funding for kosher food at retirement homes in massachusetts. the legislature overroad that veto so it never happened. at the ends, he adds that phrase or whoever did the add adds that phrase religious freedom. i don't know how if this is an issue of religious freedom but that was the point they are trying to get to. they are playing the religion card against mitt romney a

. >> as governor of massachusetts, mitt romney refused to pay for kosher food for our seniors in nursing homes. holocaust survivors who for the first time were forced to eat non-coiver because romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher. >> stephen: tough stuff. the worst thing about that ad? the thousands of jewish grandmothers who were crushed when that nice robot stopped calling. "i love you,nana. i love you,nana. thank you for the birthday money." ( laughter ) next year in jerusalem. now, newt might have had the wind knocked out of him in florida, but luckily he is self-inflating. >> to the same people who said i was dead in june and july and said i was gone after iowa, who seemed totally quiet the night of the south carolina victory, and now going to be back saying, "what's he going to do? what's he going to do? what's he going to do?" i just want to reassure them tonight. we are going to contest every place, and we will win and we will be in tampa as the nominee in august. >> stephen: yes! he is not going anywhere! he is using all the stick-to-it-ivenes

. >>> where is mitt romney's compassion for our seniors, kosher. you see that claim about seniors having to eat non-kosher is a bit misleading. the funding was never eliminated. nonetheless i get your point. perhaps romney showed he is insensitive to certain religious traditions. given the call you didn't want to make to mitt romney, i have a solution. i'm about to give you an opportunity to satisfy the politicalet indicate thing and reinforce your view for jewish voters. call romney and say hello, mitt, this is newt. how is your health? what is happening with the grandchildren? mine are starting to become doctors. i wanted to call about florida and say congratulations, good luck in nevada, god willing the rabbis in vegas won't touch as much as that one in miami. seriously newt if you are going to pander at least be consistent. and make them simple intuitive, and available to all. distill all that data. make information instinctual visual. introducing trade architect, td ameritrade's empowering web-based trading platform. take control of your portf

delis to carry pork, you are not technically banning kosher delis. but you are banning the kosher part. so -- you are not banning catholic hospitals. you are banning them from conducting our fares according to their faith. >> they are getting pork, the catholics. >> the rule does not apply just to organizations that get government funds. >> there isn't a hospital in the whole country that does not -- >> i think that the important -- i have seen that analogy before. the important difference is that there are -- there is no rights. you are not talking about competing rights when you are talking about the -- delis carrying kosher pork. when you are saying that you are going to exempt, you know, hundreds of thousands of employees of these institutions from the mandate that this their prefer entive services cover, you are talking about balancing the rights of many, many american women of all faiths against the right of these institutions to propulgate. that's very different than saying we are not going to let you keep kosher. >> no. i mean, there is a dif

home and host -- holocaust survivors were forced to eat non-kosher. >>neil: i could go on and on and even calling mass pass liberal, calling him clueless capitalist, but, where do you draw the line? you don't say, i understand, your frustration with the negative ad but it wasn't as if you were immune from doing them yourself. >>guest: i recognize some of the ads you played, one of those is a robo call and i have not heard, and i know at the end they had a disclaimer, and i have not heard the campaign confirm or deny that was their ad but i am suspicious of that. >>neil: because the romney camp was suspiciouses those they thought were sympathetic to your candidate involving money from the casino billionaire. we don't know where it comes from and i understand the frustration but there is plenty to go around. >>guest: neil, the ad you play i recognize as our ads, and the robo call i am suspicious where that came from, because the disclaimer in the robo call said, you know, it said newt gingrich 2012 but i have not heard the campaign deny or confirm that.

actually landed her on the front cover of the "new york post" with a big spread about how that's not so kosher in the world of football. >> that's because it's in new york. she's defending her husband. i have nothing but love for the patriots. i'm a little bit biased. >> well, this comes to us from kdlt news in sioux falls, south dakota, where thanks to some high tech sleuthing, dog owners could be busted for not cleaning up after their pets. the owner of hundreds of local apartments will now require renters to submit doggy dna samples. if the waste matter is left anywhere behind in the complex, the landlord will send it to a lab. if there's a match, the owner will have to fork over $100. the owner says it's the only way to make sure the property is clean and safe. >>> well, i'm lynn berry, and this is "early today," just your first stop of the day today on your nbc station. >>> lanterns and fire crackers lit up the skies and spirits in taiwan yesterday. thousands gathered for the annual lantern festival to celebrate the end of the lunar new year. traditional displays filled the streets. fire

i think it's not kosher or however you want to put it, judy. as democrats i'd simply ask, do you want republicans picking your presidential nominee? and i think the answer is no. i mean you don't like the other party meddling. they're not coming in because it could be said in 2000 that some democratic voters really were attracted and found john mccain enormously appealing. that's why they did vote in the michigan primary but the only reason to vote for rick santorum if you're a democrat is because you think that rick santorum is a weaker candidate against barack obama than is mitt romney. i think in that sense, his doing it sort of corrupts the process, dilutes the impact of republican voters at a time when, if anything, he's on the rise with republican voters. the most interesting thing that bill ballenger said, he said many interesting things, but the one that stuck with me was that over half the voters today were identifying or half were identifying as tea party members. in ohio where i am right now, fewer than one quarter of republicans vot

as far as the immediate economic impact, last year i was smart enough to pre-order a kosher meal. when we got there at noon on saturday, they were out. the only other time that happened was the year before that hardly strictly bluegrass. san francisco, new york, chicago, they have world class parts with world-class events. if we are going to remain a world-class city, we have to continue. supervisor mar: the last cards that i recently got, i have nick bologna, sandy -- and walter paulson i think is still in the house as well. next speaker? >> my parents brought me up, bringing into golden gate park for various large events. i specifically moved to san francisco because it was a music city. i think that there might be a good case for this. it is specifically why i moved to san francisco. i wanted to be in a city that cherished music and had a history of music. i am looking forward to my son growing up to a concert in the park as well. one of the ladies that spoke against it, i asked her how long she had lived in san francisco. i thought that it was interesting that she had lived he

. >> romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher. still, gingrich managed to work in a bit of comedy on the trail. >> how close is this to being over, mr. speaker? >> i would say probably six months. >> six months? >> unless romney drops out earlier. >> reporter: humor aside, february may not be all that much fun. the next round of states, colorado, nevada, michigan among them, are more favorable for romney, perhaps prompting gingrich to drop out of the race, though he has said repeatedly he's in it all the way to the republican convention. >> this is a long campaign. watch tonight. the conservatives are clearly going to help romney. there's no clear path for him to get to a majority. >> reporter: newt gingrich has planned campaign stops beginning tomorrow in nevada, which is holding its caucuses on saturday. mitt romney carried nevada four years ago with a majority of the vote, brian. >> ron mott, peter alexander before that, gentlemen, thank you both. we're joined now by more members or our nbc news politics team. tamron hall is wi

some olive oil and some kosher salt. and that's everything right there. it's very simple. so what we're going to do is we're going to start with the garlic. and here at the restaurant, we use this robo-coup. this is just a big fancy version of what you probably have at home, a cuisinart. any food processor will work. as a matter of fact, you could even use a blender for this. anything that will really chop that basil up really fine. so into this food processor we've got the walnuts, the garlic and our olive oil. what you want to do is make a quick paste out of that. so we'll go ahead and turn that on. and chop up the garlic and the walnuts real fine, blend it with the oil. once you've got a pasty consistency like that, you can go ahead and put your basil, cheese and salt. lots and lots and lots of fresh basil. it takes a lot of basil to make a little bit of delicioupesto. so go ahead and give that a quick blast. basil's getting chopped up and releasing all of its oils and aromatics and essence. and then what you have here is a nice basil pesto. what we do is we take that,

camm's was e-mailing were they spying on his e-mails you know that doesn't seem like it's particularly kosher to hopefully we'll find out more in the future now that last time when i was still the pretrial hearing from bradley manning up for me there are a lot of people that came out to protest to show their support for manning did we see a crowd out there all today. i think there were some people there someone actually reported on twitter that they had showed up and asked as a citizen to be admitted into the courtroom and they were questioned well are you a protester so i don't think they were particularly hospitable to them but there was probably the crowd out there today that they're normally was that the arraignment only lasted for forty five minutes so it wasn't really going to be a long procedure so probably not the support that there would have been otherwise jane i'm really curious to see what you think of the defense strategy here used by bradley manning's team because on one hand they're arguing that you know he was troubled and motioned the unstable at the same time they're saying
