100,000 in construction and due to the Housing Market rebounding. And if retail gains holdover of christmas. Personally i dont want to go too far in the direction of, wow, this is great. This is where i dont want to use the word great but saying when you say more people confident. Confident. Yeah. This is still very, very slow job recovery. Still fewer than five years ago and fewer americans employed than ten years ago and some retirement but i think the fact is we know were stable now and dont quite know how we get to that point where were more than stable. Right. And we know to keep everything in perspective, the Unemployment Rate has ticked up 7. 9 so that keeps anyone from, you know, being too confident. Thats because more people looking for jobs and not more yeah. The number goes up there. Keith, the headline, i think the Huffington Post said here we are within a tick up of the employment rate and then 28 days from now, austerity measures or sequestration. The timing of all of this has some wondering if the government is hurting the economy and keeping people from being enthusiastic or excited because of all the milestones with the debt ceiling and next up sequestration. I think thats exactly right. You see that for the gdp numbers, for example. Fourth quarter gdp numbers down and in large part because of Government Spending. Redust in the military spending because of the draw down in the war but Government Spending does help the economy. Right. Clear thats been the case looking, for example, at great britain. Theyre in the doubledip recession right now doing the same austerity measures republicans oppose and we have had 6. 1 million new jobs added in this economy and i think that the problems are we have to invest in education, make sure people have opportunities and make sure that the government doesnt pull back right now. What we also know is there are republicans who still strongly say and assert that the stimulus did not work and they do not believe in exactly what you just said. Economists, the majority of those interviewed by wall street journal believes the stimulus works. 3 million jobs because of the stimulus and other thing is about the education thing i mentioned before. The Unemployment Rate for people with College Degrees are higher is 3. 7 . Unemployment rate for people who dont have high school diplomas, 12 . Education matters. Why exactly would we want to cut investment in our infrastructure and education at this time . Zachary, lets play what alan krueger said. He was on with chuck todd earlier talking about the politics of what were watching as it relates to this recovery. Let me play it, please. You have a pretty good jobs report and i know, you know, i know what youll probably say on that. Good but trend lines, all this stuff. We have this conversation every month. But i want to ask you more about the gdp numbers because it has all of the positive indicators and government brought it down. Government gridlock. So is washington the biggest problem for the economy . I think certainly a major risk that we face is that washington can make mistakes. Xwr gridlock in congress. Failing to take the steps to put us on a sustained budget. Bring down the deficits in a balanced, responsible way. Is washington the biggest problem for the economy . I think clearly it is a major headwind. It spends a lot of money ineffectively. You can say that whether youre a conservative or a liberal. A source of job loss. In spite of conservative harping of government occupying too much, theres 1. 5 million job shed from state and local government. A lot of those are teachers, first responders. And the inability of the government to put capital in motion and 3 trillion plus in spending in any way effectively is not doing any of us any particular good. The only happening decent right now in terms of growth tends to be whats going on exgovernment and that doesnt mean that government couldnt do a lot better but washington isnt. Lets talk about whats happening on wall street as the banner says, main street versus wall street or main street and wall street depending on your perspective. Sometimes it does feel like its a us against them scenario but the dow now over 14,000 mark. Still with the millions of people looking for jobs, zachary. First of all, while this is graed headlines. Dow hits new highs, it is where it was almost six years ago and back to where we were in 2007. That is not like things are great because we have taken sick years to get back to the high point we were and the other side of it is, wall street is focused on no more crisis and insofar as there suspect crisis in companies, stocks are doing well but thats very little to do with whether or not the overall economy is doing as well. Go ahead. I think i see an it differently. In march of 2009, the dow hit a low point of 6,600 and now at 14,000. In 2013, 4 years later. Thats 100 return but the other part is theres a disconnect of wall street and main street because corporate profits have been at record highs for past several years. Still holding on to billions of dollars. But theyre not spending that money. On the sidelines and not spending and we are just not seeing that in the main street level. Zachary, people thought after the election that would change. Yeah. And it i think that was a mistake. To believe this . Companies using the uncertainty line. Washington uncertainty keeping us from spending. Companies doing well outside the United States and reflected when they trade in the United States but they werent spending domestically for investment because they didnt feel theyd make money spending the money. The whole issue of the uncertainty and people dont know if the taxes increase thats smoke and mirrors of wall street . Convenient excuse. Theyre not spending money because they just havent believed to make money spending it. The purpose of business is not to create jobs. It is to create profits and the line we had last year in the debate in the election was just a farce. If you can make money in your bottom line every quarter and not have to hire as many people, why would you hire more people . Right. Because they realize they can make more with less so the idea the corporations get more money and reduce taxes, hire people is not connected with reality. It is not the way business operates. Buy a robot instead of hire ten people which is exactly what companies do. Plenty of companies have done th that. Thank you very much. We have new information on the Embassy Attack on turkey. At least two people are dead. Several injured. We have the latest on what the white house calling an act of terror.

Embassy in turkey. Within the past few hours, the white house reacted calling the attack a, quote, act of terror. Officials say an Embassy Guard was killed when the bomb set off at the security checkpoint. Right now, we are all dealing with our sadness at the loss of our fellow member of our embassy. We salute his bravery, his service to turkey and to turkish american friendship. Our hearts go out to his family. Nbcs kir joins us now. Theyre examined security cameras. What else are saying about the search for whos responsibility . Thats right. Smoke rising from the area and a heavily damaged door. We understand that the bomber and one other has been killed according to Turkish Interior Ministry officials. It happened around 1 15 local time. Near the first xray machine. Managed to get to the first machine leading to the visa section and then detonated. The u. S. Embassy saying one of those killed the guard at the gate and the turkish Prime Minister describing the attack saying we need to fight against those terrorist elements. Now, some in the turkish government suggesting that this is the responsibility of an illegal leftist group, possibly called the revolutionary peoples party. As you say, the white house saying it is clearly an act of terror. Tamron, americans are advised not to visit the consulate in istanbul or the embassy until further notice. Because, of course, what many people will be thinking is that theres echos the attack in libya on the embassy there and the killing of ambassador christopher stevens. Thank you very much. Lets bring in bob windrum in studio. You heard him report that the turkish interior minister said its likely connected to leftist militant group. Its a violent group, been on the u. S. Terrorist watch list since 2007, 2008. It is carried out suicide bombings going back to 2001. Wanted to use them against tu turkish authorities. This is a marki isist leninist group. Its flag is hammer and sickle. It is not an Islamist Group and this may have been in retaliation to turkish government raids last month against many of its members. Turkish government raids. Why then target the u. S. Embassy at this particular time . This is a very antiamerican, antiwestern imperialism group and it has gone after the u. S. In the past. The only u. S. Citizen killed during the 1991 gulf war by terrorists killed by this group. A businessman strapped to his chair, shot to death in his and then various slogans written on the walls of his office in blood. This is a very, very violent group. All right. Thank you very much, bob, for your insight in to the group, at least the turkish minister and other officials believed could be connected to this Embassy Attack. Thank you. Thank you. We have developing news and protesters in cairo converged on the president ial palace there. Theyre throwing molotov cocktails and stones at the palace for hours. We have images showing whats going on. You see there morsi issued a statement condemning the violence. His spokesperson is now warning Security Forces will fight back to protect state property. Joining me now from cairo, nbc news Foreign Correspondent aman mohadene. Whats the latest there . Reporter good afternoon. For several hours now, police pushing protesters back outside the president ial palace. Lets try to set the scene a little bit. Because its really all about the timing that surprised so many people. Earlier today, there were calls for large protests, demonstrations as we have seen all week long and called for by Major Political forces and called on to be peaceful and no violence whatsoever. When they arrived, the police was not on the outside of the palace walls. No military there and relatively peaceful protest and then all of a sudden they started to throwing molotov cocktails. A portion of the president ial palace we could see did catch on fire. That was extinguished. Shortly after that, riot police pushed out of the president ial palace and started firing teargas at the protesters and the scene around it remains very chaotic. Tremendous amount of mayhem there. Dozens of protesters injured but a lot of Political Forces condemning the violence and questions as to how the peaceful protest once again turned violent. Its also triggered spontaneous outbursts of protests behind us here in downtown cairo. Another march under way. Expected to be a long night across the capital. A spokesperson for morsi warning that Security Forces will fight back to protect state property. What options or what does that specifically mean in pushing back . We know certainly the anger and hostility especially at morsi and any pushback from him could turn this from violence seeing now to something far more explosive and fightening. Absolutely. You know, theres a growing sense of frustration among many egyptians angered by how violent many of the protests are. So the police today have been asked by not only the presidency but other Political Forces to use force. Egypts police force is notorious for using brutal techniques, sometimes live ammunition, killing protest earls as we saw in the revolution. The fear is that the police because theyre not well equipped, not well trained when they use statements like that coming out of the president ial palace theyll use decisive force, it could mean more bloodshed. It scares a lot of people across the country. Right now the police using teargas, rubber bullets to keep the protesters at bay but we have seen it does violent and deadly very quickly sometimes. Thank you very much, ayman. Coming up, nate silver applauded for his accuracy of the president ial election but what does he say about the big game sunday . Thats just one of the things we thought you should know. But first, another member of president obamas first cabinet is moving on. Energy secretary chu says hes leaving. He will stay on until the successor is confirmed. Well be right back. Becoming a fulltime indoor cat wasnt easy for atti. But he had purina cat chow indoor. He absolutely loved it. And i knew he was getting everything he needed to stay healthy indoors. And after a couple of weeks, i knew we were finally home [ female announcer ] purina cat chow indoor. And for a delicious way to help maintain a healthy weight, try new purina cat chow healthy weight. Welcome back. Another story developing today. The Obama Administration provise posed revised rules to be exempt from free contraception as part of the Health Insurance plans. White house correspondent Kristin Welker joins us now. We got the heads up from the First Read Team this is coming down and now official word. Whats the proposed change here . Reporter well, tamron, the bottom line is that employers now only need to meet one requirement to be considered a religious employer as compared to four. Which was the initial proposal so as you pointed out it makes it easier for employers to be considered religious. This represents a compromise to some extent on the part of the Obama Administration. They are allowing employers to opt out of that provision that would basically provide contraceptive coverage to employees. At the same time allowing employees to get that coverage without paying a copay by dealing directly with the Insurance Company. The details of who shoulders this cost still a little bit murky but that really is the compromise that has been hammered out. Heres what White House Press secretary jay carney had to say a little bit earlier on today. In outlining it, he set two important criteria. We had to ensure that women have access to Preventive Services like contraception and the policy respects religious beliefs. Those guidelines, those criteria, have been followed by the department in promulgating this proposed rule and as part of that process theres more comment that will be taken on it. Reporter now, we also have a statement from hhs secretary Kathleen Sebelius saying today the administration is taking the next step in providing women across the nation with coverage of recommended preventive cost at no cost and respecting religious concerns. Well continue to work with faithbased organizations, insurers and others to achieve these goals. Now, reaction starting to trickle in, tamron. It is a bit mixed. Some say its a positive step. You have the u. S. Conference of catholic bishops to review what specifically this means. You have the Faith Research counsel coming out and saying it does not go far enough toward protecting their religious liberties so reaction still coming in. This is a heated issue, tamron. Theres a period of public discussion through april 8th. Tamron . Thank you very much. Joining me now, womens right advocate sandra fluke. She testified that they should have a mandate to cover contraceptive. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Im sure you heard our reporter say theres a mixed bag. Planned parenthood said its quote optimistic about the new regulations or change here. You also have narol, todays regulation affirmed the commitment to fulfilling the full promise of the historic policy thanks to the commitment, most american women will get Birth Control coverage without extra expense. What is your reaction . This is really just another step in the administrations process of clarifying how women will have access to the Important Health care service and makes clear that houses of worship will not be covered if they have a religious objection and that religiously affiliated organizations like universities and nonprofits potentially will have coverage offered to the female employees and students via the Insurance Company and the religiously affiliated institution dont need to be involved and meet it is criteria of women accessing the health care they need and not infringing on any potential religious concerns. The statement of Cardinal Timothy dolan, the president of the u. S. Conference of catholic bishops said we welcome the opportunity to study the proposed regulations closely. We look forward to issuing a more details statement later. But when you see the mixed group from both sides showing if you will again the word planned parenthood used optimism, along the lines of what the Obama Administration said that they wanted. All voices to come together and to come up with a reasonable solution here that would not infringe on a religion and also keep women protected and you had those i guess attempting to enflame this as a war on religion and the other things that were accused. When we talked with you and when you became a household name at the beginning of this story. Yeah. This is just another step in what the administration has said that they wanted to do, which youre exactly right. To find a path forward to Cover Health Care without infringing on a potential concern. And i think whats important to note is some of the folks continuing to object to this policy are actually worried about employer who is are private companies not religiously affiliated employers in any way but the boss has a particular religious concern and they want to deny their employees particular types of health care. If you take a step back and think about that, thats you work at a restaurant, you work at a store and your boss is able to deny you leukemia coverage or blood transfusions or any number of medical concerns someone might have an objection to and the folks objecting have very extreme ideas about religious freedom and Employee Health care. Thank you for your time. A great pleasure to have you on as a guest. Thank you. Thank you. Coming up, a live picture as secretary of state Hillary Clinton prepares to deliver farewell remarks to the state department. Well bring you the live event. Everyone seems to have the cell phone in place. Probably means she is nearing the door there. Well bring you the event, of course. And theres a lot going on today. Heres some things we just thought you should know. The city of new orleans ready to party and play ball for the super bowl this weekend. The Baltimore Ravens taking on San Francisco 49ers. Everyones calling it the harbowl. A reporter asked coaching broerts jim and john if theyd consider a postgame hug instead of a hand shake. I have given no consideration to it. Not for one second, jerry. Have you, jim . I have not. I love the contrast in their outfits there. The New York Times number cruncher nate silver written about the super bowl pick. He did not come didnt come right out and pick the 49ers but he wrote, while the 49ers had the better offense and defense, the ravens had the best special teams in the league this year. So its worth mentioning, a month ago, he predicted the patriots and seahawks in the super bowl. Thats what he said then. Mitt romneys campaign quietly gave 90,000 to the red cross at the end of november. The donation made about a month after Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast. And rivera for senate . He said hes thinking about running for the senate in jersey. As a republican. Those are the things we just thought you should know. Im being told that Hillary Clinton arrived. She is now at the state department after the final meetings at the white house. Being greeted by staffers there. This is her last day on the job and it was a quote indicated that she would not be sure of what she is planning, you know, waking up without a job for first time in so many years but as Andrea Mitchell and others stated, this perhaps is not for long. Lets listen in. From that first day on, you have touched the lives of millions and millions of people around the world. You have left a profoundly positive mark on American Foreign policy and done enormous good for all of us and for the country we serve. We will miss you deeply. But none of us but none of us will ever forget your extraordinary leadership and each of us wil always be deeply proud to say that we served in Hillary Clintons state department. And so, now its my great honor to introduce one last time, the 67th secretary of state of the United States of america, Hillary Rodham clinton. Oh. Thank you. Thank you. Oh. Well, just standing here looking out at all of you, the people i have been honored to serve and lead and work with over the last four years is an incredible experience. When i came in to this building as the secretary of state four years ago, and received such a warm welcome, i knew there was something really special about this place. And that having the honor to lead the state department and usaid would be unique and singular, exciting and challenging. It has been all of those things and so much more. I cannot fully express how grateful i am to those with whom i have spent many hours here in washington, around the world and in airplanes. But im proud of the work we have done to elevate diplomacy and development, to serve the nation we all love, to understand the challenges, the threats and the opportunities that the United States faces and to work with all our heart and all of our might to make sure that america is secure, that our interests are promoted and our values are respected. As i look back over these past four years, i am very proud of the work we have done together. Of course, we live in very complex and even dangerous times as we saw again just today at our embassy in ankara where we were attacked and lost one of our Foreign Service nationals and others injured. But i spoke with the ambassador and the team there. I spoke with my turkish counterpart and i told them how much we valued their commitment and their sacrifice. I know that the world we are trying to help bring in to being in the 21st century will have many difficult days. But i am more optimistic today than i was when i stood here four years ago because i have seen day after day the many contributions that our diplomats and Development Experts are making to help insure that this century provides the kind of peace, progress and prosperity that not just the United States but the entire world especially young people so richly deserve. I am very proud to have been secretary of state. I will miss you. I will probably be dialing ops just to talk. I will wonder what you all are doing because i know that because of your efforts day after day we are making a real difference. But i leave this department confident. Confident about the direction we have set, confident that the process of the qddr which we started for the first time has enabled us to ask hard questions about what we do, how we do and whether we can do it even better. Because state and aid have to always be learning organizations. We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to the president , we owe it to the american people. And so, i will be an advocate from outside for the work that you continue to do here and at a. I. D. So its been quite a challenging week saying goodbye to so many people. And knowing that i will not have the opportunity to continue being part of this amazing team. But i am so grateful that we have had a chance to contribute in each of our ways to making our country and our world stronger, safer, fairer and better. Those of you who are staying, as many of you will, please know that i hope you will redouble your efforts to do all that you can to demonstrate unequivocally why diplomacy and development are right up there with defense. How when we think about who we are as americans, its because we are united and committed across our government to do whatever is required to fulfill the missions we have assumed as Public Officials and public serva serva servants. So next week i would expect that all of you will be as focused and dedicated for secretary kerry as you have been for me. And that you will continue to serve president obama and our nation with the same level of professionalism and commitment that i have seen firsthand. On a personal basis, let me wish all of you the very best whether youve been here a week or 30 or even 40 years, pat. Let me give you the very best wishes that i can because im proud to have been a part of you. I leave thinking of the nearly 70,000 people that i was honored to serve and lead as part of a huge extended family. And i hope that you will continue to make yourselves, make me and make our country proud. Thank you all and god bless you. Hillary clintons farewell to the state Department Workers you see there. Being joined by ambassador nicholas burns, former u. S. Undersecretary of state and Andrea Mitchell host of Andrea Mitchell reports and correspondent. Andreas joining us by phone. Andrea, you conducted that interview with secretary clinton and heard he say to advocate for the agency from the outside. What do you believe her life will be like in the immediate future . What does Hillary Clinton do . You can hear the applause there behind. Im not sure were able to talk with andrea. Ill bring in ambassador burns. Ambassador burns, let me ask you from a different perspective the question that id posed to andrea. You see the impact that Hillary Clinton has had on the state Department Workers but she mentioned even today you have an attack on a u. S. Embassy in turkey. Putting it all in perspective, what she sees as the accomplishments of the state department and the struggles still ahead. What kind of an impact did she have in the time there . First of all, she was speaking from the state department in washington. She is beloved and the u. S. Foreign service. She has the loyalty of that building. She has stood up for the diplomats time and time again and made a case in the Farewell Speech that diplomacy should be front and center so i think she leaves that legacy. In addition, shes done two things that were very different for a secretary of state. She has put development in to the picture as a major priority. What we do to assist poorer countries of the world and stood up for women. Some people have diminished that but for the United States secretary of state to say that promoting the role of women worldwide to be leaders globally, thats a revolutionary thing and i think thats going to have a Lasting Impact and finally i would say she has redefined American Power in asia with the opening to burma, myanmar and stood up in the Difficult Conversations with the chinese, stood up in support of the peaceful resolutions in the South China Sea and secretary clinton is a memorable, outstanding secretary of state and many peoples minds. I think she deserves enormous credit for what shes done. Andrea, are you there . Hello . Are you there . This is katherine, her producer. How are you . Great, katherine. Were waiting to get andrea on the phone. Were on air. Let me go back to the ambassador here. We can, of course, talk about the accomplishments, ambassador burns, of Hillary Clinton in this respect. But you and i both know that many people are looking at this image and theyre visualizing a couple of years from now and these are not state Department Workers clamoring for a hand shake. Theyre people who are supporting her run for presidency. What do you believe at least is looking that far ahead . You are an insider. You know a lot about the clinton family. Both the former president and the secretary of state. Oh, i think its impossible to answer that question. Only secretary clinton knows, obviously, what she intends to do in the future. Observing both president clinton and secretary clinton, she is a unique person in our society. Having been first lady, having been a senator of one of the most important states, a president ial candidate and now a really unique secretary of state. Theres no one like her in hour society. I think she can do whatever she wants to do in the future. I hope for one shell stay in public life because i think shes such a great leader. Some of the last images of Hillary Clinton, the testimony at the hearing regarding benghazi and her being applauded by many the way she handled the tough questions, her directness that was equal to the directness of some of the senators including rand paul saying he would have fired her and intriguing i think in her exit, socalled exit interviews. Many people asked about mistakes in the past, some president s others have not. She instantly went to benghazi as a mistake. As something that went wrong under her leadership of the state department. Will that linger if you will on her legacy as there are still questions that have not been answered . Well, it will certainly be part of her record and it has to be. She has stood up and taken full responsibility many times including in those very dramatic hearings on capitol hill of last week. Obviously, that was a black day for the Foreign Service to lose four fine public servants. And so, the state Department Needs to internalize the lessons of benghazi and move forward but not think that defining the entire record, four years, a million miles traveled. Improvement of the americas reputation in the world. She and president obama have accomplished that. And i think the reinforcement of the american strategic position in east asia, i think this is a very fine record for her to be proud of for many years to come. Ambassador nick burns, thank you so much for your time. Greatly appreciate you joining us to see that historic moment and watch Hillary Clintons last day at the state department. Thank you. Obviously so many thousands of workers who love her dearly. Remembering former new york city mayor koch. The outspoken, quick witted leader credited with lifting the city died this morning.
