[ applause ] number two, we are going to make

sure the american workers of today and tomorrow have the skills to succeed in america. that means better schools, better job training programs, but we cannot continue to allow hur schools to perform at the bottom of the world. with to have bring our schools to be the best in the world. i did it. we can do it in my state. we can give our kids the competitive future they need with great schools. [ applause ] number three, we have got to have trade that works for america that means that people cheat like china has cheated we don't let them keep doing that and we also open up new markets to sell our products to new places -- >> listening to mitt romney in las vegas talking about how he would be a better steward in dealing with the economy. want to listen in to president obama now speaking at the same time from the white house. >> thank you so much. thank you. everybody please have a seat. have a seat. well, it is great to see all of you. and i hope you guys are having a wonderful summer. i am joined here today by moms

and dads, husbands and wives, middle class americans who work hard every single day to provide for their families. and like most americans, you know, they work hard and they don't ask for much. they do expect, however, that their hard work is going to pay off. they want to know if they put in enough effort, if they are acting responsibly, then they can afford to pay the bills, that they can afford to own a home that they call their own, that they can afford to secure their retirement, and most of all, that they can afford to give their kids greater opportunity. that they can -- their children and grandchildren can achieve things that they didn't even imagine. now, every single decision that i make is focused on giving them that chance, because if we want

to keep moving this country forward, these are the folks who are gonna get us there. now, this morning, we learned that our businesses created 172,000 new jobs in the month of july that means that we have now created 4.5 million new jobs over the last 29 months. and 1.1 million new jobs so far this year. those are our neighbors and family members finding work and the security that comes with work. but let's acknowledge, we have still got too many folks out there who are looking for work. we have got more work to do on their behalf. not only to reclaim all the jobs that were lost during the recession but also to reclaim the kind of financial secure that too many americans have feld was slipping-- felt was sl away from them for too long. we knew, when i started in this job, that this was gonna take some time.

we haven't had to come back from an economic crisis this deep or this painful since the 1930s. but we also knew that if we were persistent, if we kept at it and kept working, that we would gradually get to where we need to be. here's the thing. we are not gonna get there, we are not gonna get to where we need to be if we go back to the policies that helped to create this mess in the first place. and the last thing that we should be doing is asking middle class families who are still struggling to recover from this recession to pay more in taxes. rebuilding a strong economy begins with rebuilding our middle class. and what we should do right now is give middle class families and small business owners a guarantee that their taxes will not go up next year. when families have the security of knowing that their taxes

won't go up, they are more likely to spend and more likely to grow the economy. when small business owners have certainty on taxes and can plan ahead, they are more likely to hire and create new jobs. and that benefits all of us. and that's why last week, i was pleasantly surprised. i was glad to see the senate come together and extend tax cuts on the first $250,000 of every family's income. that means 24598% of americans won't see their income taxes go up next -- that means that 98% of americans won't see their income taxes group next year. that means 97% of small businesses will see their income taxes go up next year. not a single dime. that would be important. and that's why it's so disappointing that so far, at least, house republicans have refused to follow the senate's

example and do the same thing. on wednesday, they voted to hold these middle class tax cuts hostage unless we also spend $1 trillion over the next decade on tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of americans. in fact, it's a little worse than that because their plan would actually raise taxes on 25 million hard-working american families by about $1,000 each. at a time when too many working families struggling to make ends meet, they want to give millionaires and billionaires and folks like me tax cuts that we don't need and that the country can't afford. even if middle class families is to pick up the tab for it. those are their priorities. and this week, we learned that there's some in the republican party who don't want to stop there. an independent nonpartisan study

found that one plan, at least, would give more tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires and pay for those tax cut buys raising taxes on the middle class, an average tax hike of more than $2,000 for families with children. i just think we have our priorities skewed if the notion is that we give tax breaks to folks who don't need them and a to help pay for that we tax folks who are already struggling to get by. that's not how you grow an economy. you grow an economy from the middle out from the bottom up. and the kind of approach that the house republicans are talking about is bad for our families and it's bad for our economy. the people standing behind me should not have to pay more just so the wealthiest americans can pay less. that's not just top-down economics that is upsi down economics. instead of middle class paying more, we should ask the

wealthiest americans to pay a little more, a modest amount so that we can reduce our deficit and still make investments in things like education that help our economy grow. keep in mind, we are talking about folks like me going back to the tax rates that existed under bill clinton. if you remember, that is when we created 23 million new jobs, we went from deficits to surplus and folks at the top did well, too, because when middle class families is money in their pockets they go out and buy that new car or new appliance or new computer for their kids or go out to a restaurant oh, heaven forbid, they take a vacation once in a while, and money goes back into the economy and business does well because they have got more customers. and you know, here is the thing. there are a lot of well-to-do americans, patriotic americans, who understand this and are willing to do the right thing, willing to do their part to make

this country strong. so, for those of how are keeping score at home, here's where we stand. we might have a whole bunch of disagreements with folks in the other part on whether it's a good idea to spend more money giving tax breaks to millionaires or billionaires. and frankly, that issue is probably not going to be resolved until after november. in the meantime though we say we all agree on extending tax cuts for middle class families. the house says it agrees. the senate has already shown that it agrees. and i certainly agree. so let's at least work on what we agree on, let's keep taxes low for 98% of americans and we can argue about the other 2%. let's keep taxes low for the 97% of small business owners and we can argue about the other 3%.

if congress sends me a clean bill extending the tax cuts on the first $250,000 of every family's income, i will sign it right away. [ applause ] and i will sign it right away. there's no reason to wait. there's no reason to make families and small businesses anxious just so one party can score political points. let's go ahead and give them that guarantee now that their taxes won't go up next year. >> listening to president obama at the white house making the case for tax cuts for those who make $250,000 or less and making a larger arrangement about the case that he would be the better steward of the economy, looking at the re-election chances there. of course, what are we talking about today? talking about new jobs numbers out from july, contains the most

perhaps important numbers in the country right now and we are talking about the labor department saying the 160,000 jobs were created last month. it actually beat the expectations of 95,000, but the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 8.3%, as households claim they lost 195,000 jobs. still, this news not dampening wall street. stocks actually rallying today, investors are welcoming this stronger-than-expected jobs report. i want to bring in our chief political correspondent and host of "state of the union," candy crowley to talk about what we are seeing here it is interesting. we have got the president at the white house. you have mitt romney in las vegas at the same time, both of them pushing for their own spin on the jobs numbers. we heard from the president talking about 29 months when they created jobs in the private sector, 29 straight months. how does he allow and promote this message and the momentum with so little time left to convince the american people these the stronger of the two?

>> well, because he keeps it precisely what they have said from the beginning in the obama re'elect campaign and that is the choice. this is not a president who goes out and talks a lot about what's happening in the economy. certainly doesn't talk about the bad stuff. he is talking about off choice here t is not about is the economy great right now, because as you heard the president say not enough. we still need to work on the jobless rate. it is about do you want to go back to the situation that got us here in the first place, that is mitt romney, he says, the continuation of george w. bush. the fact is when you look at these numbers, suzanne, nothing much has changed here, the exact same -- the numbers go up and they go down and always told don't look too much at a month, so let's not, let's look back, what do we have? we have an economy that has created jobs, not enough jobs that has been true for many, many months and the election and

the polls show us that not much changed in the polling either. i don't think going forward i talked to any economist that thinks we will see much of a change, still have an economy creating jobs but not enough jobs. >> all about the messaging and the momentum. four more of these job reports that are actually going to be out there before people go to the polls and vote. candy, stick around. we are going to listen, dip in a little bit more to mitt romney and his prescriptions for what he believes will be good for the economy. >> proud together to tell them all about the wonderful thing also he had done, about 200,000 people came together and in the square, he stood up and began to speak to them and instead of going through all the wonderful things he had done to make their life better an older woman looked up and said "liar" and said it again. "liar." and then people around her began saying t and then it spread throughout the entire crowd.

and toad turn to a soldier grabbed him and ultimately, he was executed. these moments were individuals stand and make a estimate of freedom and say no to oppression, these change the world. these are times for all americans, for all of us to stand in our own way, our own communities, for t things we believe in deeply. i love this country for the freedom we believe in here, of our ability to change the world. [ applause ] this is a time went world needs american leadership. that's what lech walensa told me. he said, mitt, american needs -- excuse me, the world needs american leadership and that means leadership and our values and in our homes, leadership in our economy, leadership in our military, a strong america is the best ally peace has ever known. [ applause ]

this is the time for choice of america. we are going to decide to continue to have the policies of a president not had a job in the private sector, policies that led america to have 42 straight months with unemployment above 8%, 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work and underemployed. those policies we know where they lead. they lead to an america that's not as strong as it must be for ourselves, for our children and for the world. or we can take a course which i will represent, which is to keep america strong to get america to do the things to get jobs again, rising incomes again, people know their future's bright and their kid's future's bright. i love this country and doyle everything in my power to keep america strong. we are going to take back america and keep america the hope of the earth. thank you so very much. thank you. [ applause ] >> bring back candy. you look at the jobsumbers here, seven states, the swing

states, those tossup states could make a difference in who becomes the next president. had in four of those seven state, ohio, new hampshire, iowa and vark the unemployment rate is actually below the national average. how much does it make a difference here, a significant difference when you look at how many people are employed or unemployed now? >> it is not -- certain think is somewhat about the specific number of unemployed but it is more about the future. let's face it more people employed in america than unemployed. so if you look that the voting group, it isn't so much about the unemployment rate as it is are you worried the neighbor is going to lose his job or worried that your going to lose your job? it is almost a consumer confidence issue. if you are in some of the states where the economy seems to be doing comparatively well when you look at the jobless rates stacked up against the national jobless rate, the real question

is and i think the question is for most voters is it on the right track, i do feel good about what's going to happen next? not essentially about what's happening right now, what is going to happen next month to my job, my house, my family. >> candy crowly, good to see you as always. thank you for your perspective. if your heart soars every time you see olympic superstar gaby douglas, you are not alone. we all love her. talk to her mom about what it was like to raise a champion and to watch her daughter live her dream.

a staggering statistic now on an issue many people find hard to talk b every day, 8,000 girls around the world are subjected to a brutal practice. it is called female genital mutilation. for the first time ever in this west african nation of ivory coast, the people responsible for mutilating girls were given jail time. a group of nine women performed the mutilations on about 30 girls during a ritual ceremony earlier this year. activists hope their one-year jail sentences len courage the practice. and one of those activists is war ras dar rib, a former supermodel, a bond girl in one of the james bond movies, but her life didn't start off that way. she was born into a nomadic family in the somali desert, mutilated herself at the age of 5 and then forced into an unhappy marriage at 13 years old.

she joins us via skype from vienna, austria. thank you for being here. so good to see you. i know you lead up a foundation to stop female genital mutilation around the world it is called the desert flower foundation. i want to talk about that. but first, if you can, tell us why this is so important to you and how this has impacted your life. >> well, it is so important because to be as a child, an innocent child, and to be cruelly being taken away, destruction of your life with no understanding. and what comes with no education and no information, you don't know what's gonna happen. that's -- that's -- that's the most terrible thing could you do with a child or you can do to a

child. worst crime abuse. so this happened not only to me as a child but after me, i have millions of women who are in my place. if we can say truly statistics are so high, 150 million worldwide. and this is worst crime can be and at this time, why is it the worst crime? because nobody is doing nothing. the world is ignoring this crime. i call it undercover world, especially the so-called world leaders wherever they are and whoever they are. >> waris tell me and tell our viewers, explain why this is happening in the first place. what is the thinking behind this brutal practice? >> well, if i had the answer, i

would solve that a long time ago. i do believe it starts with -- started 4,000 years ago and for what reason? it's to degrade women, whether sexual or anyway you could. so, that's the reason why the behind it is you cannot trust women, 100% women. and that was the fear the whole program started. and 4,000 years later, we still here doing for centuries. do i have an answer for that, no. i don't. >> i want to give viewers a sense of how widespread it s you talked about these staggering numbers and this is for every person, for every young girl, you represent these girls, 150 million girls who have been

mutilated in this way, we know that this takes place in africa. it also takes place in parts of asia and the middle east and we know that girls between 4 and 8 years old and also newborns are being mutilated. you have done an extraordinary job in bringing attention to this and you met a beautiful young girl while filming this movie that was based on your life story and this girl cast to play you as a child. i understand you were able to convince her parents not to perform this mutilation on her. how did this happen? >> well, you see, all you need is education and information. and not only that, the true meaning behind female newt lati -- mutilation is about -- [ poor audio ]

behind the whole thing that women are not in but just a piece of property. and to change this, what i did to my little girl -- i have many of them but what makes her special, she is in the movie, "desert flower"by which is based upon my life and she plays me the day of my mutilation and the true story is she is not mutilated. she is saved today and she is going to school and her family educated and to me a great story. >> we thank you so much for bringing her story and for bringing your story and bringing this cause to our attention. it is so important. we appreciate it we will have you back as well when we have some more time. but again we thank you very much for bringing this to light. i want to also talk about --

expressing an interest in doing gymnastics, her sister kept saying, res she's really good, mom, you got to put her in. she wants to try t you got to put it in. after years of persuading me, i finally gave in and took her to a trial class. she just never wanted to come out of the gym. she loved it she would just practice all the time. so, i saw then the hard work. i didn't realize when i got into this sport how expensive it was, just the commitment over the years. sometimes i felt questioning. i didn't think i would be able to keep her in the sport but then i would think about it and i would say you got to fight. if i had to sell, i sold almost all my jewelriment. and if i had to pick up extra shifts at work, whatever it takes when she was competing,

you go through the range of emotions, nervous, excited. when she was 4, we were on the edge of our seats. probably in 2008, we were watching the olympics i at a friend's house, she said, i think i can do that. i can do what they're doing. i'm working on that on the bars. she said i'm going to the olympics. i can do this. you know, we maybe pursued a coach who had gotten someone to the olympics and kind of knew, you negotiate ins and outs of what it took to get someone there, she might have a valid shot. she started saying i need that coach. i need coach taub. i said i can't move the family to iowa. i'm a single parent. i didn't have the resources to be able to do something like that. my two oldest daughters got together and wrote a list and said, okay, here's all the reasons we are gonna help you out here.

and here's the reason why she shouldn't go and the only thing on that side is we would miss her. i love that picture. that was very painful. it was scary. how would i still be mom, you know, back in virginia when she is living in eye whe in iowa? how does that work for every? skyping is not the same as being able to reach out and touch her. from day one, she began to improve. she said it was like learning again for the first time when she started gymnastics. she started to grow, leaps and bounds. i almost can't wrap my mind around it we talked about it for so long and now it's here. it hasn't quite sunk in with gabrielle either. when i talk to her, she is like, mom, i'm an olympian. i mean, i'm an olympian. >> gabby's mom, natalie huangs,

joining us live from london's olympic park. wow, love your daughter, she is amazing. congratulations to you, your whole family. >> thank you. >> i love how she said, i need that coach. i need to work with that guy. what has it been like what has it been like the last 24 hours? have you even had a chance for the two of you to talk, spend time together, since she has made history? >> we haven't had an opportunity to spend time together. we talked, we skyped, we texted one another, talked on the phone. we got to spend a smidgen of time today on one of the morning shows but it's just been all so surreal. we all feel like we're in a dream and any moment we are going to wake up. i reminded gabrielle of something she said to me, you know, years ago, she said, mom, you know, when i get on that stand and i get to bite that medal and i said, yeah, we found

a picture online of her biting the medal. so that was pretty fun. >> you have been skyping and texting. what has she been telling you? you spent the morning together. how is she doing? how is she feeling? >> when i skyped her this morning, when the video first comes on, there's kind of not any real sound and she just came up like this and it reminded me of the movie "home alone," we laughed and i kind of mimicked it back to her and i said, wow, you know, you did it. and she said, i -- it's still so surreal, mom, i still -- i'm still trying to grasp what is actually going on. it still hasn't sunk in yet and some of the other former olympians, mary lou and carly patterson said it would sink in when you get home. apparently that is what a lot of the former olympians have been telling her, when you get home, it will start to sink in. right now, she is just in an amazement zone, she is in awe right now u. >> already on the box, a cereal box. i mean, life has changed.

what do you tell her? what do you tell her for just the extraordinary change that is about to take place? she has -- the world is watching her. there will be scrutiny there will be wonderful praise. there will be all of it. her life as it exists will not be the same. how do you prepare your daughter, who is 16, for something like that? >> what i told her is just to remain really grateful and really humble. you know, i told her, just remember why you started this sport. it was for a love of gymnastics irk told her, don't ever lose that and even from the beginning, her dream was to be able to inspire other people and inspire other kids. you know, she always says, i want other kids to say if gabby can do it, i can do it. and so, for her to achieve her ultimate goal and be able to have children look up to her and say that, it -- she is just ecstatic right now she is like, mom, i did it. i'm just so excited because if i could just, you know, help

inspire one child, i would be so happy with that and i'm getting messages from adults, saying she is inspiring me. so we are just elated. we are so excited for her. >> she inspires all of uts. yeah, all adults and kids alike. i mean, she is really extraordinary and really, i mean, lights up when she smiles, just to see her smile. i know it hasn't always been that way. what was the toughest part for the two of you? i know that she was away, she was in iowa for training. what was the hardest? >> one of the hardest times, you know, she went through some injuries and i couldn't be there and that was really difficult because you always want to kiss the baby boo-boo and make it better and she is the youngest of my four children. i wanted to be able to rush by her side and i couldn't do that but one of the most difficult times was this past year. she turned 16 on december 31st and we had a big celebration for her and, you know, we had to

leave a few days later and she said, i want to come home. and the hardest moment for me was telling her, it was your choice to move here and i just don't think it's a good idea to give up your dream. i knew that if she woke up on july 27th and she was at home watching it on tv, i knew she would never be able to live with herself. i knew she would sit beside me and say what if. and i wouldn't be able to live with that, you are know, i knew she wouldn't be able to live with that and i couldn't deal with her not being able to live with that so, i encouraged her. life is not easy. you have to fight through, you know, difficult times and this is one of these times and i want to bring you home and she kept saying, you're supposed to let me come home. and i said i know, but so much has been given toward pursuit of this dream and so many sacrifices have been made and i said you just can't give up. i'm not going to allow you to

give up on that. so a few weeks passed, she was angry with me, and you know, a few weeks passed and she called me and she said, mom, i'm going to do it i'm gonna stay. i know you're right. what you were saying is correct t is really painful. i want to be home, i miss you guys. so that was absolutely one of the most difficult thing to get on that plane knowing she was ready to give it all up and ready to come home with us because we missed her so much. >> natalie, talk about this a little bit, because it is different from generation to generation, gabby who is only 16 might not have a full appreciation for the history that she has made as the first african-american woman to win this kind of achievement and this gold all-around competition. you and i are the generation where you can appreciate and you know that this is really historic. do you think that she really understands what kind of impakt she has, not just for broader society but specifically for younger african-americans

looking at her? >> you think she has. i told her that a while back. i said, you know, if you go to the olympics and went all-around gold, you will be the first ever to have done that. she said really. she thought dominique dawes had done it at that point. she didn't roeally know. she really looks up to dominique dawes. that was one of her biggest inspirations in the sport. i said, no, she didn't do it. she said. what she had me go back and we had to look up dominique's stats. she said, wow. i still don't think she truly grass wered how big it is, you know, she is the first one, she will forever go down in the history books, dominique dawes went down in the history books as being the first one to get an olympic team gold. and so for gabrielle do get the team gold and the olympic all-around gold, for me, it's just a feeling of absolute joy. >> and natalie, what is next for gabby? she is so young.

i assume that she is already -- is she already thinking more olympics? is she going to take a little bit of a break, eat what she wants to eat? relax a little bit? come home? >> yeah, well, we are going to let her take just a little bit of time off. she really wants to try to go for another olympics and so, she hasn't been home since 2010. >> wow. >> so i kind of want to bring her back home, let her -- see her pets, we have two dogs she and really misses them, too. so, we want to bring her home, just for a little while, not -- not too long and let her celebrate with us, her brothers, you know, her sisters and then it's back to training. >> the hard work begins all over again. natalie, thank you so much, we love your daughter, she is so inspiring, to see what she has accomplished, you must be so proud, we are all very proud of her. thank you for taking this time with us. which appreciate it. here is more of what we are working on from the newsroom international. london might be host the biggest

party now but some locals say they weren't invited. >> nobody has ever said to us, hey, you know, you can have subsidized tickets or it would be nice for you to come and visit seeing it is right on your doorstep, absolutely nothing. you know what i love about this country?

trick question. i love everything about this country! including prilosec otc. you know one pill each morning treats your frequent heartburn so you can enjoy all this great land of ours has to offer like demolition derbies. and drive thru weddings. so if you're one of those people who gets heartburn and then treats day after day, block the acid with prilosec otc and don't get heartburn in the first place.

seven years ago that london got the news it would host the 2012 summer olympic games. shortly after the, construction began in east london. in the east end it is called home to immigrants and low-income resident. now, some say that the promise of the olympics bringing change to a struggling community has fallen flat. fights media, online based media operation chronicles what it calls the social cleansing of east london. here's a portion of their four-part series. >> we are close to the olympics. we have been pretty much on the building side when it was being constructed. some people have been complaining of, you know, dust-related illnesses and stuff like that. >> we put up all all the noise,

all the dirt, all the grime and nobody has ever said us to, hey, you know, you can have subsid e subsidized tickets or it would be nice for you to come and visit, seeing it is right on your doorstep. absolutely nothing. no mention of us. it is almost like we just don't exist. and it's sad, really, 'cause it is right on your doorstep and you should be able to enjoy it and be part of t bit, but we're. >> which are on floor 17 or 18 and the council have leased the top five floors to the bbc. initially, they said that the blocks were desperating, so not fit for purposes, but it is safe enough to build media suites. community has been dispersed, this is why they did it. they wanted the bbc to have these lovely views and, you know, sink praise to the olympics, probably not a bad thing, except when you have to factor in that just down here, you see all these houses and all

these people are going to be kicked out of their homes and many of them have -- lived there for 40 -- 40-plus years. nearly half a century old. >> filmmaker around producer of the documentary called "vise guide to the olympics" joining us from london. i know and saw in your report, your documentary here, there was a lot of preparation that went on to bring the olympics to london here and you had all these houses and folks who live in the community who really feel like they got the short end of the deal here. was there anything that you saw when you went back and you talked to folks that was being done for the community? >> well, i think the regeneration of stratford, the area that the london olympics is being held, they have been planning regeneration for a while now, almost just before we won the bid for the games. the olympics just really sped up that process. i think that's been a really

long history of olympic says that sort of fiercely build more around more new buildings in the cities where they host the games and yet to really see any kind of long-lasting or powerful legacies of these buildings. when it came to the regeneral railings of the -- you know, the areas in stratford, rather than kind of building upon the sort of facilities already existing in areas, the parks and the buildings were nearly destroyed and demolished and the big business and local communities had no say at all really. no part of it. >> have folks been able to for folks that still have homes that are there, those not a part of the regeneration project, have they been able to go back home, been able to be part at all of some of the festivities taking place in their community? >> not at all. you know, a lot of these like

you saw in the clip were evicted from the building, especially to the state, evicted from their homes and sent off to the outskirts of london, parts of london. we were told the buildings weren't fit for purpose but then they put media suites in there once the games finish, they aren't allowed to come back and weren't involved to any of the games, like dolores was staying in the clip, no one came and invited them to the site or got them to feel like this was -- they could feel part of the event. >> pegah, i want to bring this up, boris johnson, the mayor of london, of course, obviously, they have got a position here on this, he is quite a colorful guy, you see him, he was part of the zip lining to promote the games, he ended up getting stuck there, but we did reach out to the mayor to ask him about the impact of the games in east london. he declined to comment specifically about it but they

did point to early releases from the office about saying that these games were at least bringing jobs to east london that people were employed and that they were a part of some of what was happening, the benefits there. in the folks that you talked to and what you have seen there in the city, have you seen at least some of that happening? >> well, from the people i have been speaking to, you know, a slightly shady area, local agencies employing people for the jobs around stratford. they are employing from outside of that borough. the people living inside that borough weren't receiving any of the benefits of that at all. >> pegah, i got to leave it there. thank you very much for your report and your insight, inside london and the other perspective. we really appreciate it. south korean rapper new wa song got more than 10 million hits on youtube, spawning a whole new dance craze. we will show you how it is done.
