12:32 pm
people borrow against their paycheck, and then the lender candidate garnish the wages directly. they end up paying to the service members much more in interest rates than they do in the 11 to begin with. the congress passed a law to crack down on these if you boar remore than $21,000 you aren't subject to the new restrictions and investigators have found that unscrupulous lenders are still taking advantage of military servicemen and women. and he talked about new rules that his administration is doing to impoe that will crack down on these there's there's -- i have to tell you some of the worst abusers like payday lenders are
12:33 pm
exploiting our troops. so today we are taking a new step. the defense department is closing these so we can protect our men and women in uniform, it is the right thing to do. >> now considering the venue the v, withf convention, the president went on to talk about a number of other things that are important to that group. he talked about the iran deal, he made his pitch one more time, it probably won't be the last time, to this very influential group. he also talked about reform at the veterans affair administration. still a long way to go in that reform effort to keep those wait times and the military care up to par. so mike, this is the five year anniversary of the frank dodd law. >> well, it created the consumer financial protection
12:34 pm
bureau this because controversial with republicans in particular, but it was intented to crack down on some of these lenders. as well to keep an eye on the financial services sector of the economy you recall the president couldn't get a director approve police department i the senate, they continued to block it, he finally has one but within the protection board, there is this agency that deals exclusively with military service members both men and women, to try to protect them against many of these practices that the president is now cracking down on yet again today. the republican just made it official that an ohio state university rally in his speech he touted hi successes that includes balancing the budget as a house budget committee chairman. al jazeera political
12:35 pm
correspondent is in los angeles, michael with 15 other big named republicans well they are not all big named some are but with them already running does government kassig offer inning different that the others don't? >> well, you know, good morning, randall, one thing that you see out of governor kassig, is that he is from ohio right away. so immediately he brings that swing state charisma, to the party that is so necessary right now for them. that is a prize that they do not want to let go of. he is community talking but he also has a tendency to go in another direction. he is the kind of guy that see as problem and wants to fix it. he talked about his father, john the mailman, put a lot of what he does, harkens to the republican voter joe the plumber as well. >> and then i got down to washington and got on the arm
12:36 pm
services committee, where i served for 18 years on national security, and i was there just the blink of an eye, and i discovered that these hammers and screwdrivers had cost thousands of dollars. and it was taking the resources from the people that needed it who were serving in the military. we were wasting money and i said we need to clean this up. >> and they are like come on, it is the pent upon, you can't -- forget about it it can't happen. well we passed legislation and made things right. we improved the system. and we helped the military. they said it couldn't be done, and we proved them wrong. >> and randall you have seen a lot of candidates come and go many try to go for those ray dan democrats and that's what they are doing to try to do now, so he is going to tap
12:37 pm
into that. >> yeah, i heard on another channel talking about what et thing what 60% of the vote in the same district where president obama got 40% so he does have some possible bipartisan attraction. let's turn to another candidate, donald trump, in the five short weeks since he has announced the candy service members has already dealt with minor scandals. but he is still leading what is his appeal. >> his appeal is a little bit of what we just saw the direct talk, the community speak, his appeal also i think has a lo to do with name recognition, and that poll we are talking about that showing him up on scat walker, it was taken over four days on that fourth day the post said that their numbers for trump plummeted and that coinciding with the real release of the news about donald trump and john mccain. he is going to have to get used to that and those numbers in the next poll willing be the really interesting ones the des moines register, ran an editorial, i haven't seen anything like this before, asking donald trump to drop
12:38 pm
out of the race and using some realter, language. they said trump is a blow hard who can generate headlines name recognition and polling numbers not by provoking thought, but by provoking outrage. the paper added the best way donald trump can serve his country is by apologizing to mccain and terminating this ill conceived campaign. i haven't heard and i don't know if you have, anything like that from a newspaper especially one as important a the des moines registers. he had a lot of people targeting him right now. it is a pretty safe bet, that he won't listen to the register. donald trump doesn't listen to anyone but donald trump and i think it gives poo emthat are supporting him fuel too. anything that bucks the authority, those are the things that will appeal to
12:39 pm
the trump voter and that's what he will continue to do song he is in this race. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> the iran nuclear deal, still on the mind of the president today he spoke about it moments ago. >> we have a challenge, would it trying to convince benjamin netanyahu will not threaten israel security. >> well, not at this point. you know, defense secretary carter said before he even touched down in israel, that he didn't expect to companying any minds so in that sense, this has. a very successful visit to israel, because he didn't change any minds. one thing that people talk
12:40 pm
about is well maybe the u.s. would offer some additional military aid to help counter what is seen in the region as the potential for iran to be much more powerful now with the lifting of economic sanctions and then the lifting of the embargo of conventional weapons as well. but this wasn't the time for that, in fact, he had signals that he wasn't in the mood to accept additional aid. it might signal that israel somehow was accepting the iran nuclear deal which he didn't. the sek tate met for two hours there was no joint statement or anything afterwards.
12:41 pm
>> is that he agrees with us with respect to the nuclear deal, and iran, but friends can disagree. >> that's the key message the meetings were very cordial, a lot of talk with the defense minister in israel, about the long standing relationship between the united states and israel. but again no common ground on this iran deal. >> you know, jordan, and saudi arabia will also concerned about the deal, kind of different to be allied with israel, what does carter like to detail our arab allies. >> he did speak with officials in jordan, and u.s.
12:42 pm
troops that are participating in the coalition campaign in iraq and syria and from there he will also travel to saudi arabia where he will meet with the king, the king offers to bring other gulf cooperation council states in as well. secretary carter said that wasn't necessary, but he appreciated that, and basic will i what the u.s. is doing to do is after this 60 day review period in congress, of the deal they are doing to do pack to these country and review their military needs and try to reassure the allies. as they said, it is unusual to see them all united but all of them believe that this deal, by giving iran significant infusion of cash, by raising potential lifting the conventional arms embargo, by freeing up iran resources, that it gives -- it puts it in a much more powerful position, so the u.s. is going to try to talk to the allies act what they might need, to counter iran
12:43 pm
in the region. >> jaime mcintyre, thank you. well earlier we heard from john lum bard, he is a former deputy assistant for iran, and was also among the 52 americans held hostage in 1979 when revolutionaries overran the embassy. it is historic, i don't think it is a historic mistake. i think some of the rhetoric we have heard about comparing for example, comparing it to munich using words like peace in our time, and appeasement, that's frankly overstatement. and i have heard some commentary and read some also from israel, which is criticized the prime minister. >> he says this deal reason for disinstruction on both sides.
12:44 pm
>> congress is working on a new bill that could mean the end of so called sanctuary. the senate today is hearing from law enforcement and families of those effected by it. that led to these turnover. california sheriffs deputy was killed last year, when a migrant shot him many the head during a traffic stop. the gunman had been convicted on drug charges and was deported to mexico twice. >> i can honestly say that not a day goes by that i am not effected it may not be visible always, it may not be written in bold for all to see. it may not even be recognized but it is always in the background of my mind. >> a shot rang out he fell. and looked at me and said help me, dad. those are the last words i will ever hear from my daughter. >> you just heard from the father of kate stiele.

12:46 pm
exponential rate. >> and the report says african-american, and latino children are more than twice as likely to liver in poverty than white kids. columbia university teachers college, says the key difference is education. >> poverty within itself, when you have an education system, that maintains the gap focus on teaching learning in classrooms, and focusing on helping being able to have a long time career, and so not only do we have to have programs of kids go ink to college, we also have programs to have careers once they leave high school. once they get an associated degree. >> there was hope from many that president obama would reverse some of the national disparities in the american education, but the report indicates that such a reversal hasn't really happened. >> he hasn't really carved out a very specific agenda for ensuring these
