over time. so, what does that mean for us? it means we cannot just keep on relying on the old ways of doing business. we can't just rely on fossil fuels from the last century, we have to develop new sources of energy, that is why we made investments that nearly doubled the use of clean renewable energies in the country and thousands of americans have jobs because of it. it means we have to develop the resources that we have that are untapped like natural gas. we are developing a near hundred year supply of natural gas and that is something that we expect could support more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade. and that is why we have worked with the private sector to develop a high tech car battery that costs half as much as other batteries and go up to 300 miles on a single charge. think about that. that will save you money at the

pump. and that is why we are helping companying like this one right here and plants like this one right here, to make more cars and trucks that use less oil. when i ran for office, i went to detroit and i gave a speech to automakers where i perharomisedt i would raise fuel standards on our cars so that they would go further on a gallon of gas and i said we should do the sail thing on trucks. when i said it, i did not get a lot of applause in the room because there was a time that automakers weresisting higher fuel standards about because change is not easy. but we got together with the ruins and car company canies an

negotiated new standards that will make sure you are on cars get double the miles per gallon that they get today. nearly double. now, because of the new standards for cars and trucks. they are going toly all be able to go further and use less fuel every year. and that means pretty soon you'll be able to fill up your car every two weeks instead of every week and over time, that saves you, a typical family, $8,000 a year. you like that, don't you? [ applause ] $8,000, that is no joke. we can reduce our oil consumption by four billion barrels and thanks to the super truck initiative, like this one, trucks will save $15,000 every year. think about that, $15,000, looks

like someone fainted up here, if we have some of the ems? don't worry, folks do this all the time in my meetings. you always got to eat before you stand for a long time. that is a little tip. they will be okay, just make sure, give them a little room. all right, everyone all right? okay. so, these trucks can save $15,000 every year. i want people to think about what that means for consumers -- and american know how, it's happening because of you. it's happening because of you. we are also making it easier for

big companies and some of year customers like u.p.s. and fedex to make the shift to fuel efficient cars and trucks, we call it the national clean fleets partnership, and since we announced it last year the number of company companies that are takiing part in it have tripled that means more customers for your trucks. we are creating for customers for your trucks. [ applause ] and i am proud to say that the federal government is leading by example. one thing the federal government has a lot of is cars and trucks. we got a lot of cars and we got a lot of trucks. so what i did was, directed every department to make sure that 2015, 100% of the recommends we buy run on alternative fuels.

100%. [ applause ] so we are we are one of the biggest customers in the world for cars and trucks and we want to set that bar high, we want to set a standard that says by 2015, 100% of cars, alternative fuels. we are making progress, mount holly but at the end of the day, it does not matter how much natural gas or flex fuel or electric vehicles you have, if there's no place to charge them up or fill them up. on, that is why i'm announcing today, a program that will put our communities on the cutting edge of what clean energy can do, to cities and dotowns all across the country, what we will say is, if you make a commitment to by more advanced vehicles for your community, whether they are running on natural gas, biofuels or electricity, we will help you

cut the red tape and build fuellifue fuellifue fuelling stations nearby. and we will offer tax breaks to families that buy these cars, and companies that buy alternative fuel trucks like the ones made here at mount holly. so, we are going to give communities across the country more of an incentive to make the shift to energy efficient cars. when i was up in new hampshire, they -- they had converted their -- all their dump trucks, they were in the process because of this program, they were converting it to natural gas driven trucks. this is something that we did in education, we called it race to the top. he we said we will put in more -- we said we will put in more money but we want you to reform, if we do the same thing

with clean energy, we can make sure the economy is more secure. we have to keep investing in american made energy and the vehicles that run on it. that is where our future is. and in order to continue this progress, we will have to make a choice. we have got to decide where our priorities are as a country. that is up to all of on you. i'll give you an champ, right now, four billion of your tax dollars go to subsidies that other company can do not -- companies do not get. these are companies that have record profits every time you fill your gas tank. we are giving them extra billions of dollars on top of near record profits that they are already making. anybody think that is a good

idea? me neither. it does not make any sense. the american people have subsidized the oil industry long enough. they do not need them. it's time to end that taxpayer industry and invest in clean energy that has never been more promising. so i've called on congress to eliminate the subsidies right away, there's no excuse to wait any longer. and we should put every member on congress on record, they can stand up for the oil companies or stand up for the american people and this new energy future. we can place our bets on the fuel of the past or welcome place our bets on american know how and american workers like the ones here at daimler. that's the choice we face and that is what is at stake right now. in between shifts, get on the

poen or e-mail or send a letter, or tweet, your member of congress and ask them where they stand on this, because it will make a difference. and you'll know where i stand on this. let's make sure our voices are heard. you know, if next time you hear some politician trotting out some 3-point plan for $2 gas. you let them know we know better. tell them we are tired of hearing phony election year promises that do not come about, we need a serious, sustained strategy for american made energy, american efficiency and american innovation, and american fuel efficient trucks and american fuel efficient cars, and we may not get there in one term, but --

[ crowd cheering ] -- it's going to take us a while to come off of the old and grab the new. but we will meet the challenge. because we are americans. our future is written by us, not written for us, we will decide what the next chapter will be, i'm confident working with folks like you, the out standing working people of mount holly, of this plant, of north carolina, of states all across the country, we can pull together and remind everyone around the world just why it is that the united states of america is the greatest nation on earth. thank you very much, god bless you and god bless the united states of america.

>> good day, i'm andrea mitchell, the romney campaign said it would take an act of god for santorum or gingrich to win the nomination. romney won six states last night including a narrow victory in ohio, but he has not won republican hearts and minds according to the exit polls. first, me ask you to take a quick reaction to the president's speech, i think you heard what he had to is say in north carolina. he is coming out strongly against particularly against what newt gingrich said about delivering $2.50 gas. your comments? >> well, you i like at the president's energy policy and i see another failure of the administration, i've been traveling as romney has gone state to state and people are fed up not only with the high price of gas but also high food prices. and at the same time, that these

basic costs are on the increase, incomes are declining, and add to that there are still people out of work or stuck in part time work, you can see why this election year will be a challenge to the president. >> the immediate challenge for romney is nailing down the nominati nomination. you've been saying that you have the math on your side and you are almost a quarter of a way home, you won a majority of the delegates last night, 220 perhaps, i don't know what your numbers are compared to our numbers, the bottom line is that the exit polls show you have not connect with many of the part. do you need to retool the message, how the candidate is delivering the message or does there need to be some change in the campaign structure, itself,

you a you are spending a lot of money, some say you are bleeding money and you got an almost tie victory in ohio. >> i think the people who are having trouble connecting are the people who are not winning the primaries and caucuses, mitt romney last night won 6 out of 10 contests, has now amassed 40% of the delegates he needs to win the delegation. we won from vermont out to alaska, and if you look at the math and the harsh logic of the math is what people should focus on right now. there's just about no opportunity for either rick santorum or newt gingrich to over take mitt romney in the delegate lead, there are no more super tuesdays on the calendar. that was the last and best opportunity for rick santorum or newt gingrich to pull off a

major momentum change. they did not do it. and they may not realize it now and they may not realize it tomorrow or next week, eventually the reality will settle in and they will understand that mitt romney already the nominee and that there's little opportunity for them to make any progress or unanimous incremental progress. >> we have compared exit polls from the last seven races and shown that he lost ground among the core kbrupgroups he needs. you have tough campaigning coming up for you. where can you win below the maso mason/dixon line? >> there are 34 contests remaining, mitt romney will not take you all of them, but he will take delegates from each state. this goes to the point about the math. for santorum to over take

romney, he has to win more than 60% of the remaining delegates to this point he has won 22% and if numbers are more daunting for newt gingrich, gingrich has won 13% of the delegates. if he wants to be the nominee, he has to win 70% of the delegates. mitt romney just needs to keep doing what he has done all along and he will go to tampa in august as the represent party nominee. >> are you going to do anything to change the message? >> no the message is jobs and the economy. this will be a referendum of barack obama handling of the economy. there's a great deal of misery, high energy prices, high prices for food, and 24 million people who are looking for a better break than the one they have been getting from this administration. >> and finally, eric, a lot of on people are suggesting that mitt romney missed what some would call a sister soldier

moment, an opportunity to take on rush limbaugh, why does he just say, i would not have phrased that way? why didn't he say something stronger if he believes or perhaps he doesn't think that what rush limbaugh said was completely inappropriate? >> the governor made it clear that that is not language he would use ever, but he is not going to be distracted from his jobs and economy message. i have seen ugly rhetoric on both sides of the political spectrum, the politics and process are best served, if people across the board would tone down the language. >> there has been uncivil discourse on both sides but against a woman that is not a public figure or political leader, is rush limbaugh that powerful that mitt romney will not take him on? >> as mitt said, he did not agree with the use of the language and it's appropriate that rush limbaugh apologize,

again, we are not going to be distracted or taken off of our central message, which is mitt romney is the person best qualified to create jobs and turn around the bad economy. >> okay, on message and on the road. thank you very much, eric. thank you for being with us today. >> thank you. >> up next, our series, women in the world, meet one of the fearless women fighting to end abuse in west african. our partnership with news week and the daily beast and christen davis, her struggle to ♪[music plays]

they do not agree on how to present it from having, we have the israel ambassador to the united states, this is his first meeting since the big meetings, thank you for being here. they are much closer together on the decision by the u.s. not to be willing to contain an iranian nuclear weapon, that is not acceptable, and the president has been forceful in his language, what he said in the news conference and in the aipac speech is that there's time for diplomacy, is that an accurate characterization of how much time there's before military action has to be used? well, first of all, yes this is my first interview after the meeting between the prime minister and the president. the president made very important points both publically and privately in our meeting at

the white house. he said, again, that all options are on the table and those include a military option for the united states. he said that containment is not an option that he will not, the united states will not try to contain or coexist with iranian nuclear weapons, beyond that, he recognized that israel has a right to decide for itself how best to defend itself, that israel has a right to defend itself against any middle eastern threat or any combination of threats, very important points for us. now, of course, you know, america, president obama said there's a windows for diplomacy, we think there's time but not very much time. every day that goes by, less time, we see a vast distance between ourselves and the middle east. we are a tiny country with a small window and we look out the window and we see iran. so quite naturally our sense of

how much time is left would differ. >> well, the president sees more time for diplomacy and we were told that the u.s. intelligence is that iran has not yet decided whether or not to take the step to build a bomb and after that decision is made which is united states has confidence it would know about, that then there's a year, a year's time before anything might have to be done milita militarily, do you agree with that time line? >> so far, iran has built an under ground nuclear facility trying to hide its activities from the world. it has been enriching uranium to a high rate, that has no other explanation than for a nuclear program. that has been confirmed now several times and they are advancing quickly on a ballistic system that is capable of caring nuclear war heads, and this is confirmed by all the intelligence agencies. there's a question of responsibility here. the leader of israel has an

immense, historic responsibility to meet this threat which is right next door to us, it's not far away. >> this is the president's comment at the news conference yesterday, where he spoke out against what basically mitt romney was clear, that it was directed at governor romney's speech to aipac, the president was saying i'm the commander in chief, let's see what he had to say. >> when i see the casualness with which some of the folks talk about war, i'm reminded of the costs involved in war. this is no a game. >> there's no doubt that those who are suggesting or proposinger on beating the drums of war. should explain clearly to the american people what they think the costs and benefits would be. >> are we at a stage where there

are only months before israel with the smaller space with the different window, might have to take action, or is there more time. >> let me respond to the clip, i cannot see it, i can hear it and i read it yesterday. that is, we are not going to get involved in internal american politics, clearly. but i can say that there are a few countries that understand the price more than the state of israel, i have personally three kids in the army, all of them have been in combat, i've been in the army for 30 years, we know the price. believe me we know the price and nobody takes it casually. but while we are focused on the price, why don't we focus on the price for a he cousecond of alla nuclear weapon, this is a country that sponsored terror around the world. >> the president made it clear that he will not let that happen, i think the difference is how quickly does the united

states and israel think it can happen and how quickly it needs to be stopped? >> still, you have to, you cannot overlook what the world will look like the day after iran gets a nuclear weapon. whether it be oil prices, iran can shut is straits of hormuz, this is a country that tried to blow up restaurants in downtown washington. i think it's important to have that discussion as well andrea. >> ambassador, michael oren, can i ask you, did prime minister netanyahu leave with a better sense that this president has his back as president obama said in the oval office? >> we have a continuing and very close discussion with the united states of america over irans and a number of middle eastern issues, the entire region is aflame, it is a very friendly and constructive dialog we have

been having. and but at the end of the day, as president obama said, only israel can decide what is best for its defense, only israel has the right to decide how to defend itself. >> michael oren, also a pleasure, i know you have in a busy week. >> thank you. >> the exit polls show that ohio had no regender gap, mitt romney was 3 points ahead of santorum in the ohio voting. we is see a large difference when it comes to views about abortion, women and how they vote. yo joining me now is maggie haber man. there's a difference in the ohio vote. >> as i recall from looking theity data, my memory is that i think that rick santorum did poorly with people who are you know, against -- did did well with people against abortion and

it split pretty much the way you expect it to. santorum has become identified as a social issues candidate. he argued against it and said it's not fair. but the point is that there's not a agendgender gap, that is important, you see the field has gotten a bit dinged up with women and independents as this over contraception and other issues has played out. >> does it effect turnout and whether a large group of women are staying home? >> i think it could be a big factor in the fall, you are seeing the obama campaign focused on women as they are surge targeting women voters. he has been speaking and appealing to women voters. i think they think there's a chance for women that may stay at home otherwise, may be brought over to the democratic message. >> they are already making money on the issue by sending out mailers.

thank you very much. maggie. >> thank you. >> and get rest too, we all need some rest. buzz feeds ben smith with exclusive video of the future president boobama, and actor chs tin davis all that coming up. stay with us.a everyone likes 5e cash -- well, except her. no! but, i'm about to change that. ♪ every little baby wants 50% more cash... ♪ phhht! fine, you try.

you think they should change the message in. >> i think there's a lot of acts of god so far in the campaign. the smart thing that team romney did was build a campaign that would meet all challenges. >> they are bleeding money. >> they are, but they knew they would have unanticipated challenges. but what i'm concerned about is that ultimately, depending on how it turns out, we may learn the wrong lessons from this, the issue is that he has not been bold enough and that is what it will take to win. >> i was asking the campaign, why he did not take on rush limbaugh and he said we are on message, that that is not our message. >> but you know what? people want strong leadership, they want people that lead and do not follow. when we were doing campaigns during the bush years there were three things that people think about when they elect a

president, and strength is the number one thing. you have to be bold and strong and people that did not like george bush, liked that he knew what he believed in. >> is that rick santorum's appeal to his supporters? >> i think it is. he is consistent. he is issue consistent, even if they disagree, they know what he stands for. >> and speaking of someone who has an appeal to her supporters, sarah palin was voting and went on fox to talk about who she voted for in the alaska caucuses. >> i voted for the cheerful one, for newt gingrich. he kind of being the underdog, because he is does not have the huge organization and the becomes that a couple of the -- the bucks that the couple other candidates have, so i relate to that. >> he does have a lot of money from adelson. >> he does. >> so it's a again of whether he

still -- it's a question of of whether he still will. >> what is interesting ultimately that it looks like it can get drawn out and romney has a delegate lead, but he may not get to 50%, and then he has to on get the paul supporters, if he does it and then an interesting conversation happens between santorum and gingrich camps. so this is good your your business. >> it is, but it's the unintended consequences of election reform and the court rulings and the fact that campaigns can be kept longer going. it's a scandal waiting to happen. >> to be continued, thank you. >> thank you. >> 21 years ago, a very young barack obama then a harvard law student made an important speech on the harvard campus during a protest demanding racial

diversity among the faculty. hoo e here is a look at what he had to say. >> i remember that the black law students that organized an orientation for the first year students. and one of the persons that spoke in the orientation was professor bell, and i remember him coming to the front and not giving us a lecture but engaged us in a conversation and speaking the truth and telling us that he has a desire to learn about this place that i carried with me ever since. now how did this one man do all this? how is has he accomplished all this h this? he that is noity done it simply by his good looks and easy charm. although he has both in ample measure. he has not done it simply because of the excellence of his

scholarship, although his scholarship has opened up new horizons and changed the standards of what legal writing is about. >> joining me now is ben smith. you just got back from ohio, this is remarkable footage, we saw a piece of it. we were chatting off camera about it in one of the documentaries about barack obama, i have never seen all of that. we know that professor derek bell's fietd for tdiversity on the faculty aharvard law. >> he looks younger but he was the same. there was an intense moment at harvard where derek bell was threatening to quit if they did not increase diversity and everyone had to choose to side. >> it's race and gender.

it's the very issues we are talking about today, it's issues of gender that have certainly taken hold in the republican campaign and we have heard what the president said when he called sandra fluke. >> he is so good at navigate these issues. >> and the consistency of it. this is not some fire brand radical at all in the context of the times. he was the head of the law review and speaking out on behalf of a distinguished professor. >> and taking a side, and taking the left side. >> you went from ohio to boston of course you were with the romney camp. for then to have said is -- for them to are said that it would take an act of god for santorum or newt gingrich, is that a bit of huberous from the campaign? >> no, that may be, i guess that is the definition of that more

or less. but we are getting to the point where it is over, where the math gets hard, it's the same point where the obama campaign started to say, it's over and we did not believe them. it's hard to see as this continues how -- >> when you talk to voters in ohio, are republicans santorum supporters willing to support anyone but barack obama? i mean is that the take away? >> that is not what i heard. i talked to specific republican activists and voters that he had is, i'm not going to show up. and others said i'll rote for him, but -- i'll vote for him, i dialed phone numbers and knocked on doors but i'm not doing that for barack obama. >> it's great to see you in your new role at buzz feed and for that interesting video. >> thanks for having me. >> and tomorrow marks international women's day and relief agency is highlighting women farmers in the developing world. they took their cause to the

white house today. joining us now is kristin davis, and the president of the organization. thanchs to you both. kristin we met before on the issue. bring me up to date on the challenges that you face, i know haiti and in africa in trying to help women and lift them from this poverty. >> obviously there are a lot of chica challenges and one of the things we are trying to bring awareness too, is the huge number of people that are farmer are women now. in african, 75% of the farmers are weapon -- are women, they are trying raise the children and do a lot of work as well and they are the unsung heroes and it seems to us that if we can lift them up, give them rights and a voice, help them to educate their children that we

can give them food stablity, which is so important when you see the things like the drought we experienced in the horn of africa, the more stable it is, the less these outside influences will effect the people approximathere. >> i know you met with valerie jarrett, she gave the speech about the importance about the change in the farm bill, when you go to the hill this week and push for change, what needs to be done with our legislation so that these farmers can survive and feed their families and their communities? >> well, to put it simply, that's a lot of red tape, that the elements of the farm bill are from the 1930s, it makes it inefficie inefficient, there's red tape involving where the products

come from and we end up having to give aid down the road. it may seem it's good for us, but actually we are having to help more when a devastating event happens. ray can help me out with this. >> i was going to bring ray in to get the specific challenges that you face with the legislation itself. he well, we are facing a big farm bill fight and there are a variety of issues that are important to us, one is the reform of the food aid system that the united states participates in along with other country cans around the world. the united states provides 50% of food aid that goes around the world. we do it in an old fashioned way, where we have requirements that all the food that we publish is bought from u.s. farms and shipped on u.s. ships before it's delivered overseas, the last two administrations the bush administration and this one have argued that the system

needs to be reformed and we need to be purchasing food locally as a way of getting food there faster. stimulating the local economy and saving lives and saving taxpayer money. what we are doing is not smart from a taxpayer point of view. the taxpayers are losing $.42 on dollars that has been argued by both parties and both administrations, it's overdue and we need to change it. the other thing is we saw it in 2008 that there was a global food price crisis and countries around the world suffered 200% to 300% in increases in food prices, they have not come down yet to 2008 levels, and the president and congress responded by trying to put money into the global economy to stimulate

investment in agriculture, the president's initiative called feed the future would focus on those investments, and women's roles in agriculture and in research, a whole package of issues that are going to mean a lot for developing countries and improving agriculture and women's role in agriculture. >> thank you so much both of you, i know kristin, that you are using your, what fame you are in such a good way, you keep it up and travel, it's a commitment. we appreciate it. >> it's an honor for me. thank you. >> our with women in the world series will continue next with a woman that is trying to end female gent -- e silent treatmen. so you're calling to tell me you're giving me the silent treatment? ummm, yeah. jen, this is like the eighth time you've called... no, it's fine, my family has free unlimited mobile-to-any-mobile minutes -- i can call all i want. i don't think you understand how the silent treatment works. hello?

listen to these women singing about it. molly is the executive director and highly regarded nongovernmental organization, you have have been named one of the 150 fearless women by women in the world if you lived there for 37 years, part of that time as a peace corp volunteer, tell us about the number of womens involved. because the practice is widespread. >> right, there are millions women who are cut every year and there are at least 130 million women who have been through the practice in africa and in 28 african countries but in other countries of the world in fact, in the united states en, there's cutting that goes on, because it is entrenched tradition and very

hard for people to stop without the whole group being in agreement to stop the practice. >> how do you reach within a village culture. how do you reach a different understanding much what this means to girls? >> you know, it all starts through education. so many of the women that we very reached in senegal particularly but also in the gambia, in guinea and mora takenia and even in somalia where it is very severe, it's a very severe type of cutting, and with the education, women learn about what the real consequences of cutting are. and they also learn about human rights, the right to health and their responsibilities related to health. they learn the right to be free from all forms of violence and they come together discussing this, and through dialogue, they realize that it is really time to stop a practice that doesn't lead to the health and well-being that they would like

to see in their own community. but the real key is getting the whole community involved. and not just the whole community, but the entire social network. this was really the key to the abandonment of female genital cutting in more than 5,000 vils in senegal. >> when you get the buy-in of the community, men and women, does it cross generations to you? >> it has to. if you just work with the women, then the men don't understand this. and we're very lucky because the men have been so, so supportive of this movement. we have religious leaders and in fact, i brought one of the religious leaders here who actually helped us to understand that this is a practice that one person alone cannot end. it has to be the entire group. and everybody, as you say, the children have to be on board. even the adolescent girls. do you know that at one point, when the adults abandoned, the girls said no, we want to be cut because our sisters were, and they were celebrated in song and

so we're missing out on this. so we started the program and they started learning about human rights. they learned about the health consequences and now they are leading campaigns to abandon this practice also. it's pleasing. >> it's really extraordinary. thank you very much, welcome home. >> thank you. >> your other home and we'll be seeing you as along with all the other women at the conference this week. >> thank you so much. and we will be right back. i look at her, and i just want to give her everything.
