again. three proud words, made in america, that's our goal. and that's what's happening right here at masterlock because of you. over the last few years, it's become more expensive to do businesses in countries like china. meanwhile, american workers, we've become even more productive. so when john hebner was at the white house in january, he told me how it makes more business sense for masterlock to bring jobs back home here to milwaukee. and today for the first time in 15 years, this plant is running at full capacity. and that's an example of what happens when unions and employers work together to the create good jobs.

>> today, you're selling is products directly to customers in china, stamped with those words "made in america." and the good news is, this is starting to happen around the country. for the first time since 1990, american manufacturers are creating new jobs. that's good for the companies, but it's also good up and down the supply chain. because if you're making this stuff here, that means that there are producers and suppliers in and around the area who have a better chance of selling stuff here. it means the restaurant close by suddenly has more customers. everybody benefits when manufacturing is going strong. so you all have heard enough about outsourcing. more and more companies like

masterlock are now insourcing, deciding that if the costs of doing business here isn't too much different than the cost of doing businesses in places like china, then why wouldn't you rather do it right here in the united states of america? why not in why not put some americans to work? companies would rather bet on the country with the best colleges and universities to train workers, with new skills and produce cutting edge research. they'd rather place their bet on the nation with the greatest array of talent and ingenuity, the country with the greatest capacity for innovation that the world has ever known. during the state of the union, i issued a challenging to america's business leaders. folks like john. i said, ask yourself what you can do to bring jobs back to

your country. and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed. and since then, a number of companies, large and small, domestic but also even some foreign companies have said they now plan to open new facilities and create new jobs right here in america. which is still the largest market on earth. these include wisconsin companies like diamond precision, which is a machine manufacturer that is going to be adding dozens of jobs here in milwaukee. a company that's growing because its customers are choosing to buy american-made products instead of supplies from china. there's a company called collaborative consulting, an information technology company that wants to open a new call center here in wausau, and across the nation, there are

well-known companies like caterpillar that are planning to bring jobs back home. so last month, we decided to hold a summit. that's where john was at. a summit at the white house so we could hear from companies like these who have decided to insource jobs. we wanted to learn how can we accelerator this trend. and this last fall for the first time, we'll be bringing companies from around the world together with governors and mayors and other leaders to discuss the benefits of investing and creating more jobs here in the united states. so our job as a nation is to do everything we can to make the decision to insource more attractive for more companies. that's our top priority. that's our top priority. we've got to seize this moment of opportunity. we can't let it slip away. we've got an opportunity to create new american jobs and

american manufacturing, put that back where it needs to be. now, one place to start is with our tax code. i talked about this a little bit at the state of the union. right now, companies get tax breaks for moving jobs and profits overseas. they're taking deductions for the expenses of moving out of the united states. meanwhile, companies that are doing the right thing and choosing to stay here, they get hit with one of the highest tax rates in the world. that doesn't make sense. everybody knows it doesn't make sense. politicians of both parties have been talking about changing it for years. so my message to congress is, don't wait. get it done. do it now. let's get it done. you know, as congress thinks about tax reform principles, there's some basic things they can do. first, if you're a business that

wants to outsource jobs, you have that right. but you shouldn't get a tax deduction for doing it. that money should be used to cover moving expenses for companies like masterlock that decide to bring jobs home. give them the tax break. second of all, no american company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas. so we've said from now on, every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax. and every penny should go towards lowering taxes for companies that choose to stay and hire here in the united states of america. give them a bigger tax break. third, third, if you're an american manufacturer, you should get a bigger tax cut.

if you're a hi-tech manufacturer, creating new products, new services we should double the tax deduction you get for making products here in america. if you want to relocate in a community like this one that's been hard hit when factories left town, you should get help financing a new plant. financing new equipment, training new workers. it is time to stop rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas and start rewarding companies that are creating jobs right here in the united states of america. and this congress should send me these tax reforms right now. i will sign them right away. right now.

right now. right now. now, another thing we're doing to support american jobs is to make it easier for businesses like masterlock to sell their products all over the world. everybody knows masterlock makes the best lock. so two years ago, i set a goal of doubling u.s. exports over five years with a bipartisan trade ingredients i signed into law. we're on track to meeting that goal ahead of schedule. pretty soon, they're going to be millions of new customers for american goods in places like anna ma and colombia and south korea. i want new cars on the streets of seoul, south korea, imported from detroit and toledo and milwaukee.

there's nothing wrong with them being able to sell cars here. i just want to be able to sell cars there. even playing field is what we want. i'm going anywhere in the world to open up new marks for american products. and i'm not going to stand by when our competitors don't play by the same rules. it's not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours just because they're getting heavy subsidies from their government. so i directed my administration to create a trade enforcement unit, and it's only got one job, investigating unfair trade practices in countries like china, making sure we've got an even playing field because we we've got an even playing field, i promise you, nobody is going to outcompete america. we've got the most productive workersen 0 earth. we've got the most creative

entrepreneurs on earth. give us a level playing field. we will not lose. now, part of creating that level playing field is also making sure that american workers have the skills that will today's jobs require and deandre talked about how even though he's working he's still going back to school. i know that masterlock's decision to create even more jobs here in milwaukee in part is going to depend on something that john raised at our meeting is, finding enough workers with the right training. you know, i had a chance to meet one of your co-workers eric. is eric here? there he is right there. so eric and i were talking, been a dyemaker for a long time. he's older than he looks. although we were comparing the gray in his beard to the gray on my head.

but he was pointing out that he's actually been able to help make the machinery that he works on more efficient, which is making the company able to do more because it's not lying idle when certain orders aren't coming in, but that's an accumulation of experience that he's had over a couple of decades. now, not everybody is going to have all that will experience, but the question is, can we make sure if they haven't already been working in this job, can they get that kind of training even before they're hired here at masterlock so that they can provide that same value added across the board? that's what's going to separate the companies that succeed from the companies that don't. is how skilled and talented the workers are, and whether management is listening to the workers. because that's important.

part of what allowed eric to be successful was somebody, his supervisor, said hey, this guy's got pretty good ideas. so that's why it's so important for the companies investing in training programs and partnering with nearby community colleges to help design courses and curriculum so so that when workers show up, they're all ready to hit the ground running. that's why i've asked congress to join me in a national commitment to train 2 million american workers with skills that will lead directly to i an job. we need to give more community colleges the resources they need to become community career centers, places that teach people the skills that businesses like masterlock are looking for right now. right now. their jobs from data management

to hi-tech manufacturing that right now, are open. and we've got a lot of folks out of work, but we've got to match-up the folks who are out of work with the jobs. and sometimes the businesses may not be able to afford to train that person on the job. so let's have the community college help get the training. at a time when so many americans are out of work, there should not be any job openings because every single job opening that comes up, somebody should be able to say, i want that job and i'm prepared and skilled to get it. we're still recovering from one of the worst economic crises in three generations. and i'm not going to lie to you guys. you know it. we've still got a long way to go before everyone who wants a job can find it. i'm sure that if we travel all around here, there are a lot of folks who want work and can't find it. and you know, when you're out of work, that wears on you.

it's not just the income. it has to do with your sense of place and your sense of dignity. and your ability to support your family and the pride that you take in making a good product. that's part of what america's always been about. is what our work means to us. the values we put behind our work. we don't just do it for a paycheck. and so this has been hard on folks. it's been hard on our country. and it's going to take some time before middle class americans regain the sense of security that's been slipping away way before this recession hit. a lot of these factories were moving out before this recession hit. there's a lot of outsourcing going on over the last 20 years. so we've got a long way to go. but here's what i want everybody to remember. over the last 23 months,

businesses have added nearly 3.7 million new jobs. manufacturing is coming back. companies are starting to bring jobs back. the economy is getting stronger. the recovery is speeding up. we're moving in the right direction. and now we have to do everything in our power to keep our foot on the gas. and the last thing we can afford to do is go back to the same policies that got us into this mess. milwaukee, we are not going back to an economy that's weakened by outsourcing and bad debt and phony financial profits. we need an economy that is built to last, that is built on american manufacturing, and american know how, and american-made energy and skills for american workers and the renewal of american values of hard work and fair play and

shared responsibility. that's what we're about. that's what we're about. and let me say this. these are not democratic values or republican values. these are american values. they have seen sus through the most difficult challenges through war and depressions and civil strife. but we've always come out on the other side stronger than we were before. we don't give up. this country does not give up. and we make sure that everybody is brought along. we don't leave people behind. we look out for one another. we reach out to one another. we are going for new opportunities, but we pull each other up. that's who we are.

if we work together with common purpose, if we pull together with common effort, i've got not doubt we will rebuild this economy so it lasts. we're going to create more success stories like masterlock, and we will remind the world just why the united states is the greatest country on earth. thank you everybody. god bless america. >> i'm thomas roberts in for tamron hall today. we've been listening to president obama speaking on the economy before workers at the masterlock company in milwaukee, wisconsin nbc news white house correspondent kristen welker is traveling with the president and joins me now. kristin, the speech giving a rousing speech there about manufacturing in this company using masterlock and the fact it's now running in full capacity in 15 years is an example of what we can do in this country if we put more repurposed focus on manufacturing.

>> reporter: that's absolutely right, thomas. and president obama really had the crowd's fired up here when you talked about the fact that masterlock has brought 100 jobs over from china, when he talks about the fact that the manufacturing sector is getting stronger. you also heard him press congress to pass his proposal to give tax breaks for companies that is insource or in other words, bring jobs back from overseas. you heard the crowd start to the chant there with him. you also heard him take a dig at romney. the president, this is a familiar sort of refrain for the president taking a dig at romney subtly albeit, thomas, without mentioning his name for being opposed to the auto bailout. those where is sort of some interesting points of his speech. he won this state by 14 points back in 2008. two years later, republicans won a lot of offices here. so the president's going to fight hard to hold on to this

state in 2012. a lot of states also in the midwest, ones that he is targeting and certainly had crowds fired up today as he talked about american manufacturing bringing jobs back to american shores and masterlock in particular. thomas? >> nbc news white house correspondent kristen welker traveling with the president. thank you. this hour, we're also following breaking news on the whitney houston death investigation within the past hour. the l.a. county coroner issued subpoenas for the medical and pharmacy records of the singer's doctors and medical providers. in move comes just days after her autopsy results of which are now under lock and key, also after bottles of prescription medication were found in her hotel room on the night she died. all this unfolding as her family makes plans for a private funeral to take place in new jersey. nbc's kristin dahlgren is live in los angeles with the latest on this one. explain to all of us why these subpoenas are so important is, especially if nothing criminal

has come forward yet. >> hey, thomas. investigators have said this at this point is not a criminal investigation. but you have a 48-year-old woman who is dead. while they wait for the word from the toxicology tests, they're trying to piece together exactly what happened. that's where the subpoenas come in. they're looking at the pill bottles. the coroner said there were not many pill bottles and it didn't look like there were an unusual number of pills in the hotel room but be they want to look at that. they'll be counting the number of pills, looking at the dates on which they were prescribed to try and figure out if she was taking them as prescribed. then they'll be talking to the doctors who prescribed them, the pharmacies who filled those prescriptions just trying to piece it all together. at this point, there's no indication this is anything like the michael jackson investigation where there could ultimately be charges. they're just trying to figure out what happened. the final word will come with those toxicology reports the coroner has said. we'll get those in about six to

eight weeks. the tests don't take that long to come back but because of the investigation and the other steps they're taking, they're giving themselves that time in order to complete the investigationings. >> kristin dahlgren, thank you. the "news nation" also following developing news involving iran. it claims it is as made a major advance in its nuclear program. it comes with tensions already high and with tensions between israel and iran ramping up another notch today. we will have complete coverage beginning with ali in tehran. explain to us the reports that we have a lot going on with iran today. but also that they are cutting off oil exports to six european countries. is that true? >> that's right, thomas. in regards to the oil exports a lot of mixed messages from tehran. all the state immediate outlets have contradicting reports. some said they were going to cut it off is, others said they weren't going to cut it off.

others said they were going to cut it off to two of the six countries. it will shows a concerted effort by iranton keep the west second-guessing as to what it's next move is going to be. this is a very powerful tool with the iranians to leave people in the lurch how iran is going to approach different situations. so the we still have to monitor that were situation closely with oil exports to europe. in terms of the nuclear advances, yes, iran has made huge claims today it's installed 3,000 brand spanking new centrifuges at its site in natanz. iran claims this new generation of sentry futures are far more advanced than the previous once. they've also claimed to have built their own nuclear fuel rods for the tehran reactor which is a major nuclear step forward, as well. all of this is sure to unsettle the west. in terms of this huge standoff with israel, iran denies any

involvement in this race spate of bombings. we must lose sight of the fact that last month when an iranian scientist was killed, iranian officials vowed revenge. it was only ten days ago that the supreme leader the final authority in the iran said he would aid any organization or country that challenges israel. >> ali arouzi in tehran for us. we move on to those developments from israel which does accuse iran of trying to assassinate its diplomats in india and the former soviet republic of georgia. stephanie gosk joins us with the latest from there. you're hearing reporting outside of iran saying they flatly deny this. what are israel's accusations and the proof to back it up? >> well, right now, thomas, you have investigators in thailand and also israeli officials in that country talking about the fact that they found weapons or rather explosives in this apartment independent bangkok that was rented by three

iranians that are these magnetic explosives, the same ones that were used in the attacks earlier in the week. now israeli officials are saying that's a clear link between all three of these incidents. although they don't right now the conclusively say that the incident in bangkok was a plot to target israeli diplomats. but it also doesn't matter what proof they have or don't have. it's really a matter an of perception right now, and israeli officials are accusing iran and its government of orchestrating these attacks. thomas? >> reception is reality, stephanie. thanks so much. back here at home, house leaders from both parties are praising what seems to be an emerging deal to extend payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits. this rare compromise comes after house republicans agreed to support the cuts without them being paid for. and today, speaker john boehner explains the gop's about face. >> we were not going to allow the democrats to continue to play political games and raise

taxes on working americans. we made a decision to bring them to the table so that the games would stop and we would get this work done. >> speaker boehner says a vote could come this week. one of the bargainers is on the legislation, democratic senator max baucus, says leaders are just putting on the final touches. >> we're there. there are just a couple little weres that sometimes get in the way but i think they'll be all ironed out today. >> nbc captain hill correspondent kelly o'donnell joins me now from washington. explain this emerging deal. leaders from both sides agree it's a good deal, however, they want to the highlight different parts of it. >> they certainly do like highlighting different parts because both sides wants to walk away and say they got something done and it was good for their party, as well. this has really been how do you find enough cuts to pay for the continuation of some of these benefits. by continuing to the payroll tax cut through the rest of the year, extendsing unemployment

benefits at the federal level for the most long-term unemployed and something that gets less attention, thomas, which is preventing a huge real economic hit to doctors who provide medicare services. something that's written into the law that if they don't make the change, they would take a 27% reduction in their fees. so important for seniors for sure. so all of those things come with a cost. and trying to figure out where they can make some cuts to pay for it are thosal weres that senator baucus is talking about. now, republicans were able to kind of kick thissing into higher gear by saying they didn't need to cover the full cost of extending the payroll tax cut. but them did want democrats to iron out with them some of the ways you could pay for the unemployment benefit extension and taking care of those doctors. so that's where this still is, not a done deal yet. the big overarching outline is there but they're still trying to figure out ways to find spending cuts or new fees that would help cover some of the

cost of adding these benefits for the rest of the year. thomas? >> as we look at this through the political spectrum, there are experts and skeptics alike hog are unsure. a lot of questions whether this compromise on the republican side is a retreat or if it's a trap. >> well, it's both in some ways because it's certainly a retreat in that they had insisted on the house republican side that any of these sorts of things would have to be paid for. meaning no addition to the deficit at a time when that's a big issue. so in that small way, one piece of this, they did retreat. the other side of it is, it brought democrats to the table and then they can try and hammer out some of the spending cuts for the other parts of the deal. so this is one of those times where they all know they can't possibly take the blame for causing taxes to go up march 1st. and they want to achieve that goal. so they're finding some political ways to do the dance, to find cuts or fees or ways to manage in that they can argue to their parties are a good deal. so it really is both.

and you'll hear lots of chest pounding from both sides and in some ways you'll see some areas where they weren't too happy with the deal. that tends to be the nature of a good compromise. >> kelly o'donnell, thanks so much. newt gingrich promises he's about to make another come back as mitt romney and rick santorum get ready for a face-off in michigan. >> plus, a horrifying scene, a passive fire tears through a prison killing hundreds of inmates. new details on what started that blaze. also, join the news nation on facebook wares facebook.com/news nation.

here's what the news nation is following right now. hitting hard, mitt romney's super pac releases an aggressive ad targeting rick santorum in michigan, romney's home state where he's trailing santorum. will it work? fair punishment, a college student is suspended for writing about his attraction to a teacher for an assignment.

he says the school is violating his first amendment rights. plus is, linsanity hits the white house. president obama weighing in on jeremy lin's unbelievable winning streak. more on the escalating tensions between israel and iran and iran's claim today of a significant advance in sits nuclear program. i'm joined by "time" magazine international editor jim frederick. as we talk about what's going on in these claims from iran of their nuclear advancements, aboard air force one though, we had some talk today from white house press secretary jay carney. he had this to say about it saying that the signs, the tougher sanctions against iran are working. >> what we see is provocative acts, violent acts, statements that are designed to distract attention from the demonstrated impact that these sanctions are having. >> so jim, there we have jay

carney talking about this. so in the perception is reality wars, who is rinning? >> i would say both sides are having difficulty. i would say that iran is looking increasingly desperate in a lot of its moves. it does seem to be acting out over sanctions that do appear to be working. >> when we talk about the fact that the tensions that are growing with israel right now, where in the conversation, because it doesn't seem to be showing its head so much is diplomacy? and so many expers are questioning iran's claim. but the diplomacy that needs to be exhibited here, where is it? >> it's not really in effect. that's part of the reason we're having so many problems and part of the reason the situation is so opaque is because these two countries don't really even have good diplomatic relations. so what you're up against is a lot of he said he said situation where you know, not even diplomats really know what's going on at the moment. >> so we have this what seems to be coming to a boiling point. and everyone trying to level the field with why they feel that they've been aggrieved.

what is the boiling point where we feel or in the observations of this country feel that thing are going to boil over into more dramatic situations? >> unfortunately, it does appear to be a no-win situation because israel has put a marker down and the united states affirms that acquiring nuclear weapons by iran is unacceptable. but it looks like iran is not stoppable. so you have an immovable object versus an unopposable force and we have a very dangerous situation that's escalating. iran might be anywhere between six months to a year away from a nuclear weapon and that number itself is disputed by many, but that's part of the reason israel is feeling so desperate itself. >> let's talk about that because israel has already said that the window for an opportunity for a strike against iran's underground nuclear facilities will soon close. with iran claiming it's made this nuclear advance and doing so with the capability of being able to strike israel. >> right.

>> so what type of time frame are we looking at here? >> that's part of the problem, nobody really knows. diplomatic analysts loyal to israel doubt even is the nine month to one-year figure. so is israel telling the truth or is it stacking the deck in its favor hoping for some sort of preemptive strike or permission to make a strike. >> you're saying it's less than that, then. >> no it could be even more, it could be a year or two or three years. even ndong diplomatic and intelligence communities there's differing is opinions how far they are from a nuclear weapon which makes israel's urgency more or less important. >> iran wants us all to think they're really close. >> of course. wouldn't you? they will not be deterred. part of these announcements makes it very clear and 80s brinksmanship but it's one of the most scary games of chicken we've seen in quite some time. >> they certainly know how to get attention. nice to see you today.

authorities say more than 3507b inmates are presumed dead after fire swept through a prison in the country of honduras. trapped inmates reportedly screamed from their cells in the prison that will housed men convicted of serious crimes. authorities say that this fire was started by a prisoner who set his mattress on fire in his cel. for more now, we have a report from nbc's francis cool. >> widespread panic erupted at the honduras prison. this shows the massive fire that sparked tuesday night. a fire department spokesperson described a horrific scene as inmates reportedly rioted trying to escape. about 475 of them managed to make it out with some injured and sent to local hospitals. officials said many were trapped as prison staffs scrambled to find the keys to the cells. one prisoner described how he got out. >> translator: we didn't know what to do. the only thing that we were able to do was start breaking the roof apart so we could get out

from above. >> reporter: more than 350 inmates are still missing and presumed dead in one of the world's deadliest fires in recent memory. honduras' crowded prisons have been hit by riots and fires in recent years. the country has been criticized for harsh prison conditions. crowds of relatives anxiously gathered outside the prison today, waiting for news as investigators struggle for answers. francisco, nbc news. >> a big drug bust at a major university tops our look at stories around the "news nation" today. 17 texas christian university students, including four football players, were expelled after being arrest this had morning for allegedly selling everything from maine and cocaine to prescription drugs. police say the arrests were the result of a six-month undercover operation. and a former producer of the tv reality show "survivor" will stand trial in mexico for allegedly killing his wife. bruce beresford-redman and mon can were married for 11 years

before her body was found stuffed in a sewer at a cancun resort in 2010. prosecutors claim he will killed his wife, dumped her body and fled to the u.s. he faces 40 years to life if convicted. things are getting tense in michigan within that state's primary less than two weeks away. the stakes are high for rick santorum and mitt romney who is now losing ground in a state where he grew up. because of that, the adses are getting more addre aggressive. mark, mitt romney is really feeling the roesch right now. this is a critical moment in his campaign, especially on the national stage if a local boy can't do well in his home state, how is he supposed to play well nationally? >> thomas, you've nailed it. that's why there is a lot of pressure on mitt romney. not only did he grow up in michigan, his father was the governor there. he launched his 2008 campaign in michigan, he ended up winning the 2008 primary in michigan. so he has all the advantages in this race, which is in some

parts good news. he has the potential to be able to win michigan, really right his campaign ship and get to the republican nomination. but if he loses or has a poor performance, it's going to send some big signals to establishment republicans that romney might not have what it takes to go noose and be the republican nominee in november. >> it would certainly be egg on his face, but what would this mean for santorum if he were to take michigan? because a lot of people say that while that would be a real stick in the gut to the mitt romney, it doesn't necessarily mean that he's going on to a strong super tuesday. >> well, if santorum is able to win in michigan, it does set himself up for some of those industrial states in the midwest like ohio that are very, very similar to michigan. so, fun rick santorum is going to be the republican nominee, you almost have to see that he ends up upsetting mitt romney in michigan and using that as moments up into super tuesday and beyond. if he's not able to win michigan, if he comes a close

second, maybe there is a chance for him to gain some more footing in some of the super tuesday march 6th states, but if you are able to see, how does rick santorum become the republican nominee, i think it has to start in michigan. >> fresh attack ads are going up in the state of michigan, basically full swing from both sides. it's restore our future versus rombo. take a look. >> how did rick santorum actually vote? santorum voted to raise the debt limit five times and for billions in wasteful projects including the bridge to nowhere. in a single session, santorum cosponsored 51 bills to increase spending and zero to cut spending. >> all right. >> on full throttle. this time romney's firing his mud at risk santorum. romney and his super pac have spent a staggering $20 millio l millionalmilliona millionally attacking -- >> mark as we look at the ad wars, romney has come out and said that he hasn't been the

person that's slinging mud at risk santorum. is kind of offended he feels he's being targeted by the santorum campaign. where is the fact in all of this? >> the fact is that his campaign in michigan isn't running any negative ads at risk santorum. but the pro-romney super pac restore our future which the ad that you just played there there where portraying santorum as a washington insider definitely is going negative. and so that santorum response ad is actually, he's trying to basically say look, mitt romney is lined this pro-romney super pac and even though there might not be actual coordination, that's where it's coming from. so that's where where the truth lies in there. it is true that mitt romney's campaign has run mostly positive ads, but that super pac has done a lot of the dirty work for him. >> mark murray, nice to see you today. thank you. lynn san sit reaches a whole new level as knicks sensation

jeremy lin scores a three-pointer with less than a second left in the game. we'll talk about the phenom making headlines from here to china. first, there's a lot of things going on today. los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosa, the brez of the united states is conference of mayors can add democratic national convention chairman to his resume, as well. the mayor will wield the gavel in charlotte and join president obama at a california fund-raiser this evening. massachusetts democratic senate candidate elizabeth warren is pulling in some big bucks from out of state donors while scott brown is getting two-thirds of his money everyone within the state itself. 20% of warren's money comes from california. another 13% is coming in from new york residents. and herman cain isn't trading 999 in for the two step. the former presidential candidate has turned down the offer to compete on "dancing with the stars." his reasoning? he can't dance a traditional
