after eight years of the obama economy and president obama's foreign policy, two-thirds of americans think our nation is on the wrong track. more than half think we're less safe than we were before september 11. and 67% rate our economy as not so good or poor. two-thirds of americans. well, mr. president, it's disappointing but it's not surprising. on the foreign policy front, here's where we stand after eight years of the obama administration. terrorism is spreading. the middle east is more hostile and dangerous. iran is counting palates of ransom money, and in a better position to develop a nuclear weapon. north korea is defiantly testing nuclear weapons. russia is more aggressive. china is more aggressive. and i could go on and on. on the domestic front, eight years of the obama economy have left american families struggling. while the recession technically ended seven years ago our economy has never really rebounded. recoveries are usually a period of robust growth, 3% to 4% or more is common in a recovery. the obama recovery, however, has averaged a tepid 2.1% growth. in fact, th

in the forum that was on nb, what trump was trying to say was that obama hasn't been a strong leader. we also have a faltering economy are growing at 1%-2% a year. we have a foreign policy that is a mess. obama has tried to leave from behind that has allowed the rise of russia and isis. the middle east is on fire. that was the greater point that obama has failed on the leadership side. you can't transfer that and say, putin is a great leader. >> the birther issue has come back. rudy giuliani was on nbc saying donald trump agrees the president of united states was born in the united states. kelly ann conway was on cnn this morning and said this. >> he believes president obama was born here. i was born in camden, by the way, new jersey. he was born in hawaii. the point is, what kind of president has he been? he was born in the united states. no question to me he was born in the united states. he has not been a particularly successful president. >> he said that donald trump agrees the president was born in the united states. he didn't talk about it. >> frankly, i wouldn't want to talk about it either. there are so many

trump realizes the reason why we're so divided is because hillary and the obama economy has failed us, not just african-americans, but americans. and with a bad economy, meaning no jobs, people get desperate and do desperate things, sell drugs, become criminals, hurt one another, and mr. trump is just -- he's a job creator. i know this firsthand. he employs tens of thousands of people. he will create jobs for all cities but he realizes detroit right now is a city that's on the radar that is in desperate need. >> people say that he's there and they accuse him of pandering, that he got the questions in advance and he worked on the answers and that it was very much staged for the cameras as opposed to being sincere. how would you respond to that? >> let me tell you what. mr. trump is very sincere. he's not pandering. he realizes we're all americans. wants every american voter. he's saying look at what hillary and obama have given you. nothing. we're at a deficit. the poverty level is over 26%. the unemployment rate is double that. that is thanks to president obama, and if hillary clinton

economy back? >> well, i think i might say in the fewest amount of words, the policies of president obama. ink amidst the reporting on it, i think pathetic figures -- yes, some growth, but much less than distinctive of the last 70 years of our economy since 1970 -- i think it's the weight, very difficult to measure and to explain, but weight of increasing entitlements and the regulatory burden. it's a shacking that just -- shackle that just, you know, increasing deficits far, far more. public investments using taxpayer money to fuel entitlements and growing subsidies. and the regulatory burden. whether you're a small business or whether you're a huge business, the amount of regulation that surrounds productive activity is just amazing. david: we do have more regulation than we've ever had before in this nation, no doubt. but we've been here before, that is to a state where it's so cumbersome that the economy can't move, and that was in the late '70s. ronald reagan saw that the regulatory burden was in some ways as bad as the tax burden was. january 22, 1981, just a couple of days after he b

stagnant wages have been a major criticism of the obama economy until now. here's other numbers.ercentage of americans in poverty is shrinking. 13.5% in 2015. that's a drop from the previous year. you can see there are 3.5 million fewer people in poverty. some pulled out due to a program of food stamps. 33 million are living in poverty. frankly, you still have a higher number of people single household. 9.1% of americans are uninsured. campaigning for hillary clinton yesterday, president obama used the solid report to reflect on his economic achievements. >> more americans are working. more have health insurance, incomes are rising. poverty is falling. and gas is $2 a gallon. i didn't even -- thank you for reminding me. thanks, obama. >> he even threw up his own card. women still make 80 cent to every dollar a man makes. it's so interesting on the campaign trail, you heard donald trump one of his big statistics, the average family has lost $4,000 in income since obama took office since the recession. that's not true anymore. you can see the numbers are now telling a different sto

will be different than the barack obama economy?ase you want to make? >> it is. let's talk about the banks. they have not been held accountable enough. let's trump's answer is, turn them loose, let's let them cheat and do anything they want. hillary clinton said explicitly that she is going to stop the revolving door between wall street and the federal government, so these guys do not get to run the big banks and come in and run the government to help the big banks, then go back to the big banks. that is important and at specific. she says she is not going to repeal the financial regulation, she is going to strengthen the financial regulation. and she says, if they continue to pose a threat to our economy and our country, then she is willing to break them up. these are very different directions. donald trump wants to take us in a different direction certainly, he wants to go back to the days doore 2008 and let the banks what they want to do. and hillary clinton says, we need to have more protections for the american people. we can k

the trump campaign released a statement saying the august jobs report shows the stagnant clinton-obama economyo deliver the jobs american's desperately need. that's a direct quote from the trump campaign while the clinton campaign fired back on this. donald trump is doubling down on the trickle down policies that led to the crisis on the first place. trump has no grasp of reality and no clue how to help working families. here with us right now is the u.s. labor secretary, thomas perez who has gone through these numbers. you are here in your official capacity. i know you are a strong supporter of hillary clinton as well. what do you say to the republicans who say these numbers are ace isappointing. >> that's incorrect. you look at the job growth over the last two to three years especially and the sectors that have seen the greatest growth are middle and upper class jobs, education and health, financial services, construction, 200,000 jobs. at the beginning of this recovery, the jobs that were created for disproportionately lower wage jobs. now we have seen not only quantity of jobs created but

a statement reads in part from team trump, the august jobs report shows the stag dant clinton-obama economyails to deliver the jobs america desperately needs. the recovery is seven years of failure on virtually every significant metric-growth income, trade. we've come a long way but donald trump is doubling down on the trickle down policies that led to the crisis in the first place. so jockackie, this is the last s report before the first debate. you have seen where they view the american jobs market. do these numbers change the direction of the campaign at all. >> this is pretty standard republican, democrat responses to the jobs report. but i have to point to president obama's approval rating. as long as that stays in a good place, that will help hillary clinton. usually when you're tieing someone to another politician it's because no one likes them. that's not the case. so i'll have to see, but that seems to be -- it doesn't seem to be bad for her right now. >> we learned this morning who among our colleagues would be moderating those important debates. we know lester holt will do the se

everything under the clinton/obama economy has failed. donald trump is absolutely for free trade, but he's for smart trade. >> and clinton, you know, i would have the same criticism, chris, why doesn't she go on the opposite side of that? why is she turning away from asia, which seems like not only a politically awkward move with president obama and secretary lew just this week at our delivering alpha conference saying there's still room for tpp to pass and a lot of economists saying it would be very helpful for our economy. why is she going against it? >> well, i think you have across the country especially amongst the middle class working americans a lot of questions and a loss of confidence in these kind of trade deals. i think, you know, if there's one amazing thing to say in terms of common agreement is that i think both donald trump and hillary clinton have some serious questions about, you know, certain trade deals specifically the tpp. i mean, what she has said is unless it is negotiated in a way that clearly protects workers in t
