>> oh, man. they show us what's behind that map are some real trends they have to pay attention to. number one is the economy. look at this. that was the big issue that everyone was voting on. 51% of the people that we surveyed said that was the big issue for them there. look at what happened there. we break it down by how much money they make. various categories. the biggest group is here. look n all of these groups, rick santorum won every one except for the people who make more than $200,000 a year. and he won big. if you look at this group, 30 to 50,000, he won 49% to romney's 21%. newt gingrich did better than mitt romney in this category. go to the lowest end group here and look at this, 65% to 13%. sure, mitt romney won a little bit, but down here his win not so impressive. 46% to santorum's 31%. when you are talking about one of the state's in the country with some of the lowest per capita income, winning with people that make more than $200,000 doesn't get you very far. the darker color indicates places where people have the highest median income. as you can see, there weren't that many that would fall in to a category that romney might have been able to do well with and as you saw from the previous map he did not do well with them. so a tough night on the economy. one more thing that is interesting here. you mentioned it earlier this evening. let's go past this and look at the issue of education. because this is something where mitt romney has tended to do well, the more educated people are. louisiana, as a state, does not have as many people with college degrees or beyond college degrees that a lot of other states document it struggles somewhat in that regard. among people who never attended college, that is something where rick santorum won, some college, college graduates and even post-graduate study the people who supported him, 38% to romney's 35%. trends that romney does not like to see. >> appreciate the numbers crunching. i'm don lemon in atlanta. piers morgan tonight starts right now. tonight, mitt romney's real running mate, the woman who knows him better than anybody else. also tonight, massachusetts senator scott brown. i'll ask what it will take for mitt romney to nail down the nomination as rick santorum continues to challenge. and the woman behind the campaign surge, karen santorum. what she thinks of charges that her husband is anti-women. >> it makes me really sad that the media tries to do that to him. they try to make it look like he's something that he's not. rick is a great guy. he's completely supportive of women. he's surrounded by a lot of very strong women. and i think women have nothing to fear when it comes to contraceptives. he will do nothing on that issue. >> we begin tonight with our big story, an exclusive interview with anne romney. and the candidate's wife joins me now. tell me this. it's been a rough old campaign. everyone accepts that. i always think most of them are anyway. but it's been especially rough. and i suppose one of the things that's leveled against your husband a lot is he's not very lovable. people don't seem to fall for him in the way that they did with barack obama, for instance, when he got elected. you obviously have been in love with him for 43 years. what do you think the public aren't seeing about your husband that they should be seeing? >> well, to begin with, i don't accept the premise. so that's, you know, that's one thing. and once people do see him, it's a totally different thing. at so many of the rallies we go to, the most common refrain is he's so great. you know? and that's -- unfortunately, everyone wants to portray you in a certain way, put you in that box. and so it's my job, it's a great job that i have right now, of making sure that people see the other side of mitt, the fun side of mitt, and the loving father, husband, grandfather and what a just super guy he is. >> what has been the most offended you felt as his wife on the campaign so far? >> you know, i think sometimes -- you know, what happened -- i will tell you, piers, what happened to me last time, four years ago, is the misrepresentations about records and different things like that where they make you feel as though you're not being honest or you're not true to yourself, which could not be further from the truth. and that was why after, you know, four years ago after we got out and dropped out of the race i did turn to mitt and said, look, i'm never doing this again. just so you know, i've had it. and that's the sentiment you had. you were very fed up with it. going into it this time, i of course went in completely committed to doing this again because i really believe our country's in trouble and i really believe mitt is the right guy. but i went in with a different attitude this time and recognize that this is what happens in the campaign and these things happen. and it's hard to do, and i have to remind myself all the time, but to not take things personally. and it is a hard thing to do and to remind yourself, i have to remind myself all the time, not to take things personally. and recognize that is just part of what's involved in running. but if you believe in your message, i believe in my husband, i believe he can turn things around, i believe he has the right skill set, the right experience to be able to really be an effective president, then you just keep putting your head down and going forward. i totally believe in him and was the one pushing him this time to say i know i said that, but i hate to tell you, honey, but you've got to do this again because the country needs you. >> you're certainly emerging as a secret weapon for him. i want to play a little clip of that back to you and then talk to you afterwards. >> let me tell you something else that's happening. women are coming to me and saying, will you please talk about deficit spending and budgets? i'm loving that. loving that. women are angry. they're angry about the legacy we're going to leave their children and grandchildren. and i'm going to tell them something. i've got somebody here that can fix it. >> feisty stuff there from anne romney. what's been interesting about the debate is it's been very skewed toward social issues and there's been this kind of rising sense that the republican candidates en masse have been slightly anti-women's rights. what do you think about the way that debate's been framed? >> well, you know, again, i really meant what i said last night because i have been in every -- practically every state of this nation and i've been speaking to hundreds of people every single day and seeing people. and this is what women are coming up to me and speaking about, their frustration with government right now, the frustration with the size of government, the frustration that, you know, that women are just generally generous. i think they're just generous and they want to leave something much better for their children. and they're very frustrated that they're thinking that this is not going to be the case for them, that their children are not going to be better off. and it's because of the overspending that we're doing now and we're not taking responsibility for our actions. and they're extremely frustrated. and so for me when i hear all the other talk about social issues, i'm going that's not what i hear when i'm out on the trail. this is what i'm hearing. it's an economic message that i'm hearing. it's a frustration about government spending too much and not balancing budgets. and they say very common sense things to me. they say, look, i know how to balance my budget. i know, you know, my husband's business or my business or whatever i'm doing, we have to balance our budgets. why is this going on, this irresponsible behavior? and so i think what they're sensing is that it is, again, it's the legacy we're going to leave our children and grandchildren. we don't want to have to feel like they're underwater before they even start out. and we know how that's going to impact their lives. >> and how important has been the endorsement of jeb bush? he's been keeping his powder dry and he's finally come out. many have said, look, big win in illinois, then the jeb bush endorsement. this has been a very significant, maybe even the game-changing moment. >> i thought it was a very significant thing to do. we didn't know he was going to endorse. we didn't have any heads-up at all. the phone rang, and it was jeb. and you know, i didn't hear jeb's side of the conversation, but i could sort of tell what was going on. and i was -- i was delighted. you know, he's a very important voice in our party. i respect him enormously. but i will tell you barbara bush is also, you know, out there fighting for us, too. so that's been great. to have jeb's endorsement i think is a huge, huge day for us. >> and on a slightly more slippery note, how is your etching and sketching going? have you been having words with mitt's senior aides about their little gaffe today? >> you know, this is the distractions -- these are what -- this is exactly what happens in a campaign, where you get these distractions. and obviously he was talking about how we're going to change focus and we're going to change, you know what we're going to do, the organizational sense of changing, not mitt changing positions. and so these are just the frustrations you have to deal with in a campaign. and, of course, it makes for great media. it's a distraction. it's a distraction because what we're talking about is an economic message. it's a jobs message. it's talking about, you know, capping spending, balancing budgets. >> are you going to make eric write out -- are you going to make eric write out 100 times on an etch and sketch "i'm very sorry"? >> i think that's a great idea, piers. great idea, piers. we'll have him do that tomorrow. >> let me ask you this. robert de niro's apologized today because he made this joke about all the wives of the republican candidates. and saying america isn't ready for a white first lady. which seems to have upset everybody. what was your view of that? >> i laughed. you know what? i took it for what it was, a joke. and you know, again, we take everything so seriously, we have to be so correct and everyone has to apologize. and i can say, you know what? i can laugh at it. that's just let's take it for what it is. we're all overreacting to so many things and making things so difficult, which means we have to watch every single word that comes out of our mouth. we can't be spontaneous. we can't be funny. i will tell you in politics the fastest way to get in trouble is to make a joke. so i think robert de niro has just learned that. >> robert de niro in the clear. anne romney, it's been a real pleasure. and again, i wish a very happy anniversary to you and mitt. >> oh, thanks so much. >> coming up next, karen santorum answers charges that her husband is anti-women. uncover stronger, younger looking skin.

>> hi, piers. it's so good to be with you. >> well, last time i spoke to your husband he basically said the key strategy going forward was less rick, more karen. >> how funny. >> tell me how your husband's getting on. last time i spoke to you was a very personal interview with you and your family. and if the full rigors of this campaign were beginning to kick in. how do you think he's faring? >> piers, rick is amazing. he is so optimistic. he's a guy who stays strong. and he just amazes me. i've known him a very long time. and he's not the kind of guy who gets down and out or loses his energy. and he's staying strong and i just love that about him. he's a really neat guy that way. >> he looks -- a rather british phrase. but he looks like he's got his gander up. which is a sort of euphemism for he's beginning to beat his chest with the expectation that he's gone from being this rank outsider to somebody who now wakes up and thinks you know what? i could actually win this. >> it's so exciting, piers. because he's -- you know, he did the hundreds of town hall meetings. and when no one believed in him, he kept at it. he kept at the message. and he loves grassroots. he loves going and meeting with people and talking to them about the issues and hearing about what's on their minds and sharing his ideas and hearing other people's ideas. and that fortified him and kept him going. and he draws strength from things like that. so now, it's very exciting to watch this unfold and see what's happening. and, you know, it's been a wonderful journey. >> one of the big things that's gripping i guess the whole race at the moment is this question of women's rights and women's issues. and john mccain was pretty strong on "meet the press." i'll read you what he said. he said, quit think there's a perception out there because of the way this whole contraception issue has played out, we need to get off that issue in my view. we ought to respect the rights of women to make choices in their lives." what did you think of that? >> exactly. i completely agree. and the unfortunate thing is when rick was asked the when rick was asked the question he said these are my personal beliefs. and the press kept asking him the issue about it again and again. rick is brilliant with national security and jobs and health care. and the economy. and for some reason the press kept wanting to go back to it. and really what it is, continuities an issue about contraception. it's an issue about personal freedoms. and the fact that the government should not be making people go against their conscience. we all have -- i think most people in america respect freedom of religion. and i think the real issue is not forcing people to go against their conscience and do things that they really don't think is right. >> when you say you agree with everything john mccain said, do you agree with him when he says we ought to respect the right of women to make choices in their lives? because that's a pretty fundamental step away i would say from what rick has been saying. >> abs- -- well, it depends on what you're referring to. absolutely. with jobs. contraceptives we feel differently. but with contraceptives -- with women wanting to be in the workforce or women wanting to be at home, with how they choose to live their lives, get married, be single. you know, there are so many different decisions. so i don't know what john mccain was referring to. but i would agree with him with that. >> i think he was specifically talking about the issue of contraception which has been so dominant. i know that because of your catholic faith you have a strong position on this. you've also got young daughters, of course. people will say how do you feel about changing times? i mean, they're going to grow up. they're going to grow up in an era which is -- you know, contraception is widely prevalent amongst young women in this country. and many of them are thinking if rick santorum becomes president what does it mean for me? is he anti-women? is he anti-us having contraception? >> not at all. >> what is his view? >> not at all. he's not anti-woman. and i can tell you, i'm a registered nurse. i'm a lawyer. i'm an author of two books. when i was doing my book tours, piers, rick was the one who was home changing diapers and making meals and cleaning the kitchen. he's been 100% supportive of me and my dreams and my career. it was my decision to stay home and be a mom at home. and someday when i go back to work, rick will be 100% behind me. so it makes me really sad that the media tries to do that to him. they try to make it look like he is something that he's not. rick is a great guy. he's completely supportive of women. he's surrounded by a lot of very strong women. and i think women have nothing to fear when it comes to contraceptives. he will do nothing on that issue. i think the issue was what i had said about the religious freedom issue and not allowing the government to be intrusive in our lives and force us to do something against our conscience. >> when you say he'll do nothing on the contraceptions issue, do you mean that if he was to become president that he would basically respect a woman's right to have contraception if that's what she chose to do? >> absolutely. and he has said that. >> i mean, that seems to me to be a pretty fundamental conclusion to this debate. because that's what people have been saying. would rick santorum bring his personal religious beliefs to play as president? and from what you've just said i would imagine the answer is not necessarily. >> not in that area -- no, absolutely not. and again, i think the issue is the government forcing people to go against their conscience. that's really the issue here that we're referring to. >> now, let's move on to what he told me when he last appeared on my show. because i like this. he basically said that after he came out with his snobbery jibe against president obama you rang him up and gave him a right earful, karen. let's watch this. >> i can get pretty wrapped up about, you know, how important this country is to not just providing a great future for our children but also for the world. and sometimes i get a little -- you know, say the wrong word. and as you know, you know my bride very, very well. usually the phone rings very quickly if she isn't there in person to say, you know, rick, you went -- you shouldn't have said that. >> so come on. how often do you pick that phone up and say rick, you shouldn't have said that? >> well, we talk a lot throughout the day, piers. we talk many times about the campaign and what's happening. and i'm a news junkie. so i like to know what's going on. i'm either on the trail with rick now or i'm at home taking care of the kids. it's a big juggling act right now. but you know, we do that. i think it's part of the joy of being married. you know, where you're always talking things over and correcting each other or talking about how you could have done better or what you should have said or what you may should not have said. >> you've had to put up as a family with some really tough times. and i've discussed this with you in person when we met. and i found it profoundly moving. how is your little girl at the moment? because it must be an agonizing conflict on a daily basis, putting the campaign one side, the health of your daughter on the other. >> bella is doing great. thank you for asking, piers. i appreciate you asking. she is such a beautiful, sweet girl. and she's healthy. it's funny reading articles. when people would actually write about my little girl and they really aren't accurate at all with what they're saying. people are saying she has a terminal illness, and she doesn't. her life is fragile, but bella's doing great. she's strong. she's healthy right now. and i thank god for that. we have so many people praying for her. but someday i want you to meet her. someday i'm going to bring her to you. >> i would love to. >> she's a very joyful child and she has taught us so much about what's most important in life. and it is a juggling act. i mean, definitely a big juggling act right now with trying to juggle family life and taking care of a special needs child. i'm her caregiver. rick and i take care of her. we didn't get a night nurse until much later. and it's -- you know, we had to get some sleep. when i'm there during the day, i love taking care of bella. and she's just a sweet, sweet angel. and i feel blessed, truly blessed to be her mom. >> and you should. and she's very lucky to have you too, i think. >> thank you. >> let me ask you this. we discussed earlier about rick's reputation. maybe portrayed by the media as being maybe slightly anti-women's rights. you obviously love him very much. if he becomes president of the united states, and there's going to be a chance now this could happen, if he does why should american women also love your husband? >> well, because he's a man who cares deeply about the heart and soul of america. and he cares deeply about all people. 100% of people. the rich, the poor, the in between. men, women, children. people with disabilities. we've got a real passion for that at the santorum house. but women, rick has done so much legislatively to support women. and you know, he's a man of deep faith, a man of conviction. and he's a man of courage. he's consistent. a lot of people say, you know, rick, i don't agree with everything you say, but i like you and i'm going to vote for you because you're consistent. you say the same thing everywhere you go. and i know that i can trust you. and that means a lot to a lot of people. >> i think that's a very valid point. i've got another guest coming out in a moment. senator scott brown who came out with this little joke at your expense. in rick santorum's case the first time he's ever actually used protection, he said about his secret service. did you find that funny? >> he's -- sometimes you just have to laugh. i've reached a point now where i shout out a lot of things because i know it can be pretty nasty. i continue to pray, and i ask my children to pray for the other families out there who are also in this campaign because it's hard for everyone. you know, i thought that was sort of funny. sometimes you have to just laugh. and other times you just sort of shut it out and ignore it. >> well, i'm going to bring him out now. we'll confront him with his own humorous demons. >> thank you. >> karen santorum, thank you so much for joining me. i really enjoyed it. good luck with the campaign. it's tough on all the families and you do a terrific job for your husband. and i think everybody respects that. so thank you very much for joining me. >> thank you so much, piers. good to be with you. coming up, a man who has caused a bit of a stir this weekend with his joke at rick santorum's expense. let's bring him out here for a public flogging. a route map shows you where we go. but not how we get there. because in this business, there are no straight lines. only the twists and turns of an unpredictable industry. so the eighty-thousand employees at delta... must anticipate the unexpected. and never let the rules overrule common sense. this is how we tame the unwieldiness of air travel, until it's not just lines you see... it's the world. lemon burst, blackberry harvest, pina colada... i can't imagine where she is... orange creme...

so i can just go talk to 'em? just walk right in and talk to 'em. dude, those guys are pros. they'll hook you up with a solid plan. they'll -- wa-- wa-- wait a minute. bobby? bobby! what are you doing, man? i'm speed dating! for your family at e-trade. i see that both newt gingrich and rick santorum now have secret service with them on the campaign trail. in santorum's case, i think it's the first time he's ever used protection. plaintiff yeah. yeah. >> i laughed myself. massachusetts senator scott brown. a little fun at rick santorum's expense. contraception on the has become a front and center. his book against all odds comes out tomorrow. mitt romney you have put all of your cards on him and should be the runaway favorite. in terms of delegates he's way ahead. yet there is a sense he may not win the nomination. that rick santorum and this endless surge may actually grab the public opinion. what's the problem. >> you would have to speak to mitt and his team. he is one of the nicest, honest, hard-working men i have ever met. there are four people in the race and for those people who thought it would be overnight. they were wrong. i never thought that t. remember hillary and president obama at it until june. we have is the third week of march and it will don't go on. i hope he will work hard and get the nomination. >> part of the problem is rick santorum conveys an air of -- he has a compelling way. he tells good story about his upbringing, his family and he definitely has a way of bringing his personality forward in a way that mitt romney struggles to. do you accept that? is that an issue, you think, that it slightly frustrates you that he can't get that side over? when it comes to the economic issue there's no one i would trust more than governor romney. we're in a financial emergency. we need people that will make tough decision and get us out of the economic mess we're in. i will continue to do my job and he will continue to run his race. i have been doing what i said i was going to do which is be an independent voter and thinker and work to solve problems not only for massachusetts but the country. >> what is the side we don't see of mitt romney? i'd like to see on the show. i have invited him on the show but he's avoided me. what is the side of mitt romney that the public aren't seeing that makes him perfectly suited to be president. it can't just be the guy that is good for money. if that was the case anyone in wall street could be president. that's probably not true at the moment but you get my point. >> listen, he has a great sense of humor. he's a devoted family man. he cares deeply about not only my state but about the country and where we are going economically and in to the future. as i said right now we are in a financial emergency. we are borrowing 42 cents of every dollar. the debt was 15.3 and rising. we need people that will do their best. sometimes you need people who are focused on the economy. they don't tell jokes or yuck it up. this is serious times and we need serious people and that's why i support governor romney you could be his gag man. >> i will continue to do my job. >> you have been billed as mr. bipartisan in a congress that is at war almost incessantly. tell me about your role in trying to knock over this problem. >> well, first of all, there plenty of ied logs and partisan folks there but you need people that will work across party lines because there's no democrat bill or republican bill that will pass. it needs to be a bipartisan bill that the president will sign. that's the reality. i read the bill and understand them and see how they effect our state, country, deficit and i vote. i work with any person of good will that will come to my door and wants to address real issues. no surprise the last three out of four bills that have passed have been mine. . recently the insider trading bill -- >> we were seeing that clip. mind playing it again. it is you hur ranging the president on the state of the union and we thought it was chummy, chummy what you were saying is my insider bill on harry reid's desk right now. tell him to get it out and the president said i'm going to tell him to get it done. how's your daughter, you said good. how's your daughter. it was very nice. hello, hello. but in the middle of it business. >> of course. >> that's what i'm there to do the people's business and i take that role seriously. if i have an opportunity to have one on one time and as you know he has a lot of people around him. that bill was on harry reid's desk. there are a lot of bills on his desk and we need to get them out to move the country forward. to think that they can get away with insider trade and not go to jail is extraordinary. >> it there was no law to stop them. >> i'm hopeful we will finally sign the bill and get it passed. it's in conference right now. i'm encouraging him to get it out. get it to the president so he can sign it. i'm hopeful the president will have a signing ceremony to send a powerful message that we are trying to clean up. another bill is folks in the federal government need to pay back taxes. it is upwards of a billion dollars. why can't they pay their taxes? here they are wanting to tax more people. makes no sense. >> the violence against women, i have talked about your experiences in your house hold when you were young with various step fathers and abuse to your mother and to you. tell me why it means so much to you and what you have been doing about it. >> it is personal to me. i think before i answer that question, i think it is important if there are any women listen right now, because i'm sure you are because you are a very -- man. >> thank you. >> all kidding aside, if there are people listening in that situation in an abusive situation like my mom and i was, they should not they are not alone. i'm here. i'm working. there are other members democrat and republican in the united states congress that are listening. there are many groups that have available that weren't available for my mom. it is something i signed on to and i take it personally and excited to get it pushed through it shouldn't be a democrat, republican thing but a people thing and protect people who have are vulnerable. >> you are doing a great job. and those who are making it a partisan issue should be a shamed of themselves. it is about protecting women involved in domestic violence. >> i remember, as you heard in my book, battling my mom's husband, biting the inside of his leg as i was getting pummelled and one step father beating the crap out of each other. rushing home borrowing a bike, a motorcycle, whatever i could do to get home to help my sister and mom from the death grip. it is personal to me. anyone who tries to say anything differently is quite frankly should be asthamed of themselves. >> take a break and talk about keeping rachel great. i want to get your ideas. how rachel maintains its greatness. >> amen. an airline has planes... and people. and the planes can seem the same so, it comes down to the people. because, bad weather the price of oil those are every airlines reality. and solutions won't come from 500 tons of metal and a paint job. they'll come from people. delta people. i'm don lemon at the cnn headquarters in atlanta. big win for rick santorum in the republican race for the white house. cnn projects the former pennsylvania senator won the louisiana presidential primary >> translator: furthermore, rereviewed the progress being made in our alliance to transfer to security plus consultations and agree to strengthen our deterrence capabilities through enhanced policy coordination and strive toward a future alliance. ladies and gentlemen, we will also work together so that the course that came into effect last march 15th will fulfill its goal that is creating jobs for workers, expand trade and overall improve the lives of our peoples. and accordingly, in order to be sure the faithful implementation of the course of ta we will establish an administrative coordination and check upon the progress. president obama and i also exchanged views on the state of the global economy and shared our concern regarding the uncertainlies that still remain. and in particular, we shared the concern that rising oil prices is an obstacle to speedy recovery of the global economy and agree that international cooperation needed to be further strengthened to bring about stability in the world oil market. that, of course, we also called about regional issues in the middle east, afghanistan and other issues regarding iran and how we can strengthen international cooperation to bring about a resolution to these issues. i welcome president obama once again on his visit. the nuclear summit was his vision to leave behind a safer more prosperous world for the future generation and we will continue to strive together that achieve a world without nuclear weapons. i thank him and his team for all the help in ensuring a successful nuclear security summit meeting. thank you. >> well, good evening, everyone. thank you to my good friend and partner, president lee for your very kind words and thank you to the people of korea for your gracious welcome. this is my third visit to the republic of korea as president. it is wonderful to be back and once again i'm grateful for the hospitality. this visit reflicks an extraordinary friendship between our two people. my wife and i were proud to help strengthen those ties when we had the honor of hosting president lee and first lady kim for a state visit at the white house last fall. and during that visit i learned a korean word i believe captures the deep affection between our people and i feel that spirit again today. my visits to korea reflect the leadership role that south korea is playing in this region around the world. a global korea. i was last here for the g-20, which was a success under president lee's leadership. now we're back along with more than 50 world leaders for the second nuclear security summit. in fact, just today we saw another important step forward and learned that ukraine created the removal of highly enriched uranium from its territory that full phils a commitment they made at our last nuclear security summit in washington. i believe it's a preview of the progress we'll see over the next two days in confronting one of the most you are sent challenges of global security, securing the world's nuclear weapons and preventing nuclear terrorism. my visit to korea also reflects the enduring strength of our alliance. my last visit to seoul came as we marked both the 60th anniversary of the korean war and veterans day and today i visited the dmz to talk to those who serve shoulder to shoulder and we salute them all. my visit to korea reflects the fact that the united states is leading again in the asia-pacific, a region that will affect american security and prosperity in the 21st century like no other. as i declared in australia last year, the united states as a pacific nation will play a larger and long-term role in shaping this region and its future. and the cornerstone of our efforts is our strong alliances including with the republic of korea. this is the context for our meeting today. as president lee indicated we had a very good discussion on a wide range of issues. we reviewed our ongoing efforts to modernize our security alliance. we agreed to have our foreign and defense ministers meet in june to discuss concrete measures we can take to continue strengthening that alliance. we're on track for south korea to assume operational control for the alliance in 2015. i reaffirmed as i said in australia that reductions in u.s. defense spending will not come at the expense of the asia-pacific and that includes south korea. america's armed forces are going to stay ready for the full range of contingencies and threats and the alliance between the united states and republic of korea remain unshakable. we reviewed our great progress in bringing our economies even closer. during my last visit to seoul we pledged to get our landmark trade agreement done on president lee's visit to washington. it passed our congress. on this visit we can say our trade agreement is now in force. we got it done. this is a win for both of our countries. more jobs and opportunities for our people on both sides of the pacific. that includes supporting some 70,000 american jobs and keeping us on track to meet my goal of doubling american exports. we discussed regional security and that obviously includes the issue of north korea. last month north korea agreed to a series of steps including a moratorium on long-range missile launches. this month, north korea announced its intention to conduct a missile launch. as president lee mentioned this would constitute a direct violation of pyongyang's own commitments and its international obligations. moreover it would only deepen north korea's isolation, damage further its relations with its neighbors and seriously undermine the prospects of future negotiations. i'll have more to say in my speech tomorrow about my commitment on the korean peninsula and the choice pyongyang must take. i will say north korea will achieve nothing by threats or by provocations. north korea knows its obligations and it must take irreversible steps to meet most obligations. on this, the united states and the republic of korea are absolutely united. since south korea is one of our key global partners we discussed a range of challenges to international security and want to thank south korea for its important reconstruction and the nato in chicago where we will chart the next phase of the transition to afghan lead and i also thank the president of south korea's strong support of sanctions on iran because of its failure to meet its international obligations. i know this decision does not come without costs. both to the republic of korea as well as our own country. but the prospects of an iran with nuclear weapons would be a threat to the world. and this is one more example of south korea stepping up and playing a leadership role on the world stage. finally, we're deepening the ties between our people. we agreed to expand educational exchanges which will give more korean students the opportunity to study in the united states which benefits both of our countries. so once again, president lee, i thank you for your hospitality, for your leadership, our alliance is strong, our commitment to the security and prosperity of our people is unwavering and i'm confident that undersouth korea's leadership the nuclear security summit is going to be a great success. >> thank you. >> translator: we will now take questions from the press. kr the korean broadcasting service. your question going out to president lee -- as predicted you just explained that you and president obama discussed the issue of north korea. but despite the international community's warnings, how will you respond if north korea fire its long-range missile, what will korea will do? what kind of sanctions are you planning to impose on north korea? and could you explain the status of the negotiations regarding extending the missile range of south korea? in a recent press interview you spoke about the fact that discussions are proceeding between the u.s. and korea regarding extending the missile range of south korea. can you explain or -- the status of the negotiations? >> translator: thank you, mr. choy. you asked about north korea's impending launch of its long-range missile and let me just reiterate once again, ladies and gentlemen, if north korea goes ahead with this plan, this is a clear violation of u.n. security council resolution 1874. north korea, if it goes ahead with its plan, will be going straight against its pledges that it made with international community. international community is urging the north koreans to repeal its announce mement to t fire its long-range missile. now, your question is how are we going to respond? i just want to answer that question by saying that if north korea goes ahead with it north korea must be the sole country to bear the entire responsibility. as president obama just mentioned if it goes ahead with its plan it will only deepen its isolati isolation, and all the consequences north korea will have to face and from the perspective of the people of -- of north korea, they will understand that its leaders spending hundreds of millions of dollars to test launch a long-range missile and watching their leader do so, they're not going to feel proud that their country was able to launch a long-range missile, rather they will get -- truly understand the nature of their leaders and understand why they have to go through just such hardships today. so domestically i'm sure the north korean leaders are hoping to achieve some sort of an objective by test launching its long-range missile but they must clearly underfan if they go ahead with their plan they will put themselves in a very difficult position. i urge the north koreans to come out as a responsible member of the international community and that is the surest way to ensure a better life for the people of north korea in this regard there is no difference of opinions between the u.s. and south korea will remain very calm and rational and we will be wise in dealing with the north koreans if, in fact, they do go ahead with their announcement. you're asked about extending the missile range of south korea. we did not discuss that issue. of course, working level officials have been discussing this issue, but you have to look at this from the more holistic framework in that extending the missile range is part of enhancing our defense capabilities vis-a-vis north korea.
