and the ceo of chrysler said, chrysler group's production for plans of the jeep plan have been the focusf public debate. i feel obliged to restate our position. jeep production will not be moved from the united states to china. it's inaccurate to suggest anything different. steve ratner was formerly the obama administration's auto adviser, the lead auto adviser, sometimes called the car czar. bill blasick is detroit bureau chief for "the new york times" and author of "once upon a car: the fall and resurrection of america's big three automakers, gm, ford and chrysler." i saw the commercial, see how it could literally be true but delivers a message that obama brought down the big three, chrysler and jeep, and that he's moving jobs out of detroit and out of the united states. i think both those claims are false. what is your view, in fact, objective reporting on that? >> well, it's very unusual for general motors and chrysler, first off, to respond to a political ad. both companies were bailed out and have turned their fortunes around since their bankruptcies. and i think they both took a v

he says the expansions here could also underscore chrysler and fiat c.e.o. sergio marchionne's pessimism about europe. >> in the u.s., he is implementing well, making good cars with designs people want to buy, but when the market it is here, you spend your capital dollars here. >> reporter: fiat bought a stake in chrysler after it emerged from bankruptcy three years ago. since then, it's invested nearly $5 billion in u.s. plants and added 6,000 workers. >> and chrysler has been the cac auto industry. it's been ringing up month after month in both cars and trucks. >> it's interesting there is ad. are people interested in buying trucks like the dodge rams you are standing next to given the price of gas these days. >> that took a hit during there. a lot of builders that buy trucks stopped by them. we are seeing the housing march coat tur -- market turn around. we saw the dodge pick up sales up 20%. that is amazing. one thing we learned in the eat after hurricane sandy is that people wan want to have a car tt gets good gas mileage. are american automakers taking

obama took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italians who are going to build jeeps in china. megyn: stu varney walks us through facts and fix with one of the hottest topics on the campaign trail with five days to go. new york city commuters enduring hours and hours -- normally we have an hour, hour and a half commute, that is not unusual for new yorkers. we are talking four, five hour commutes in bumper-to-bumper traffic to get in and do their jobs. like everyone else in the country the folks that work in manhattan need their paychecks. we are seeing vehicles packing the gas stations that still have fuel. some waiting in lines that are miles long but patients is not long it is short and it is getting shorter by the day. trace gallagher following the traffic nightmare, trace. >> reporter: before i show you more of the crazy pictures megyn and they are crazy i want to give you the problem in a nutshell, the new york metro area gets 25% of its gas from two refineries, those refineries are shut down. the new york harbor 20% comes through the new york harbor it's shut do

we saved ford, chrysler and general motors.or him to be on the wrong side of that, the answer is he can shut up and stop telling the lies. >> finally, labor is so important to the president's reaction and his work in ohio to deliver the buckeye state. write to work legislation is where tlomz wants to go. how dangerous is that to you? >> well, it's one of the things we talk about. when we rally people and go talk to them. we have strong unions in ohio. and he is basically on record for the whole country wants the national right to work. he wants to get rid of the minimum wage. he wants to get rid of any type of idea of working wages is to protect people. >> and no candidate has gone down that road to my knowledge. no, he's on the website. they're all gone now because of the tea party. now they're talking about the national right to work. that gets people up in arms. and mitt romney doesn't see the difference. he goes on and he talks very boldly about this, not realizing that it's really the third rail when it comes to campaignin

today's fiat chrysler ceo sergio marchionne announced an expansion of chrysler's manufacturing to keep up with demand, 31 straight months of sales. any way you slice it is a success story. does the struggling european fiat have the cash to buy the remaining stake in chrysler. jeff flock with a microphone in the troy talking to the man behind the machine. it's a new day. if you're a man with low testosterone, you should know that axiron is here. the only underarm treatment for low t. that's right, the one you apply to the underarm. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18. axiron can transfer to others thrgh direct contact. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact whe axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acnen women may occur. report these signs and symptoms to your doctor if they occur. tell your doctor about all medical conditns and medications. do not use if you have prostate or breast cancer. serious side effects could includ increased risk of prostate ca

(laughter) >> jon: sold chrysler to italians what, we're afraid of italians now? >> if obama wins, it will be the pope deciding what you drive. (laughter) one day they're ruining our car companies, the next day they'll be kissing our daughters with their garlicky lips. (laughter) by the way, apparently the classic italians are going to move american jeeps making jobs to china. why you say these things, mitt romney. kuz now i gotta makea the nice people of ohio say another ad saying that's [bleep]. >> after romney's false claim of jeep outsourcing to china chrysler itself has refuted romney's lie. >> jon: how out there is mitt romney, i a car company, the people who convince you you need the undercoating are coming after him for his dishonesty. (laughter) you might say well hey, why don't they just turn off the tv and leave the house and live their life. >> because you can't hide, because the candidates are [bleep] everywhere. >> it's goods nobody toldo, ohio. >> thank

. >> obama took a gm and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italians who were going to buildps and china. mitt romney will fight for every american job. gerri: and the left out swinging today claiming the ad is inaccurate, including joe biden who called it flagrantly dishonest. my next guest says romney has it right. here to explain, associate fellow for the national legal and policy center. great to have you back. always a pasure to have you on the show. this all came out of a report in bloomberg. let me read you what the road and read your response. european sales, the ceos, sergio marchini, considering building chrysler models in italy, including jeeps, for export to north america. now, is that true or is that false? >> that is absolutely true, and prior to that there was a bloomberg report that did say that the yacht was going to be building jeeps in china, possibly old jeeps, so that is where the governor romney got that information. now, there was one slight inaccuracies under the romney and where he said the obama administration sold chrysler to the italians. he didn't

chrysler has -- chrysler is the one automaker that has increased employment. >> well, there you have it, dee dee. when you get the auto makers you get the governor along with the lame stream press, that's a coalition against the romney makers. >> i think they found the line. right? they found the line that they've gone too far. and in fact, this may not only cost them but could cost them ohio if it ends up to be an incredibly close race. but that doesn't mean they're not still out there with a whole bucket full of other half truths and shifting positions. whether it's mitt romney has said things like his health care plan would cover pre-existing conditions. he says he wants to make birth control accessible to all women while he's endorsed things like the personhood amendment and things that would make birth control less accessible. and the list goes on. his tax policies, you know. it's just one after another he's put out there these falsehoods and dared the country to call him on his inconsistencies. >> he knows whoever raises their hands in victory election night, it's why'd you say

they claim because of the alone, chrysler is planning to move jeep production to china.laim is a lie. chrysler's ceo said, jeep production is saying in the state of ohio and called the commercials inaccurate. romney's political director was asked about the lies for the first time today and his response was embarrassing. >> the fact is, that chrysler, far from shipping jobs to ohio, is actually expanding operations in toledo. >> well, i find it interesting that president obama would attack governor romney on that when they put up an ad saying that governor romney says let detroit go bankrupt when that's a headline from a "new york times" op-ed. >> yes, just another classic nonanswer from the romney campaign. the "new york times" did pick the title of the romney op-ed but romney wrote, if the auto companies get a loan, quote, you can kiss the american automotive industry good-bye. the substance is all the same. romney did not want to help detroit with a loan. that's very clear more than once. >> you're going to see these companies go out of business ultimately. >> you said

and chrysler to bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italliance who would build jeeps. for every american job. >> you have folks working at the jeep plant calling employer worried asking is it true are the jobs shipped to china? the reason they make calls is governor romney is running an ad that said so. it's not true. >> the head of chrysler confirmed the romney ad said the company intended to return jeep production to china. world's largest auto market. in order to satisfy local market demand. obviously touchy. there is one speech that romney said take the jobs from ohio to china. the add does not say that. whether it infers that is neither here nor there. but chrysler-fiat is building jeeps in china. number one. number two, models in italy including jeeps are going to be exported in to the u.s. what about the controversy. >> the "new york times" had this alone to say it concentrate on ad that will stretch the truth is unbeliev unbelievable. they want to liquidate the auto company and disappear in thin air. obama said it was not true that oil and gas production had de

chrysler's ceo says it's simply not true.writes on the company's blog, "jeep production will not be moved from the united states to china. jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the united states and will constitute the backbone of the brand. it sin accurate to suggest anything different." the man who president obama pictured to the czar to save the auto industry is stephen ratner. i asked for a response. stephen, good to see you. how do you respond to this ad? i'm here in ohio where these jeeps are made. they said that what mitt romney has said is wrong. tell me what you know about this. >> i think chrysler and general motors actually responded more forcefully than i have ever seen a company respond in 30 years in the business in terms of the adamancy they expressed. the facts are what he said. it makes good business sense for jeep to begin to produce jeeps in china for the local chinese market. those are jeeps that are not going to really get -- could not be realistically exported from the u.s. they need to be buil

obama took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italians who are going to build jeeps american job. >> i'm mitt romney, and i approve this message. >> all right, barbara. so forget for a moment that both general motors and chrysler have decried this ad as either false or misleading. but in the ad, governor romney says he has a plan for the auto industry. i'm curious about what is and why we haven't heard much about it until just a week before the election. >> as the ad itself says, major executives support governor romney and have point out people on the obama economic council are supporting mitt romney, because he does have a plan on day one to turn this country around in terms of jobs. and with the auto economy and everything else, you need to put people back to work. on day one, he is going to get the energy economy going and allowto allow us to have keystone pipeline opened up, and then he is going to increase economic opportunity for everybody, so that's why he's having so many people, even people on the president's own economics council are supporting mitt romney

. >> brown: chrysler has said it has no plans to move the jobs. the romney campaign insists it's standing by its claim. there promised to be much more battling over economic policy, with the race in a dead heat and going down to the wire. we look now at the jobs picture with two economists with ties to the presidential candidates: john taylor of stanford university and the hoover institution. he advises the romney campaign on economic issues. and austan goolsbee of the university of chicago's booth school of business. he served as president obama's chairman of the council of economic advisers until last year. to the extent mob set aside the rhetoric of the campaign if you can for a moment, tell us about the bigger picture. what strikes you most, what worries you most about the jobs picture now and in the coming years? >> well, i would say any reputable economist says every month don't just take any one month numbers, try to take a step back and look at the trend that's far more accurate in this. i think if you look at the trend the overall job cre
