nd republicans over nuclear talks with iran have escalated to a new phase. >> you're looking at the front page of this morning's daily news. just out and it's critical about a possible agreement with iran but this morning it's calling the 47 gop senators traitors. and it's saying that because they sent a warning all right to teheran about a possible nuclear deal. the all right was written the senator from a arkansas who says he opposed the talks. >> this is about stopping iran from getting a nuclear bomb. the allies cannot live with a nuclear iran. >> all right >> if lawmakers are not on board the all right says it would be an executive agreement adding the next president could revoke such agreement with a stoke of a pen and future congresss could modify the terms of the agreement at any time. >> the letter has a significant

of four presidential candidates on this and also 7 republican senators that did not sign include foreign relations committee chairman who insiders say was not pleased. president obama didn't hold back his criticism of those who signed the letter either. >> i think it's somewhat ironic to see some members of congress wanting to make common cause with the hard liners in iran. it's an unusual coalition. i think what we're going to focus on right now is seeing whether we can get a deal or not and once we do then we'll, if we do then we'll be able to make the case to the american people and i'm confidence we'll be able to implement it many. >> joe biden said the letter expressly designed to undercut a sitting president in the midst of the sensitive international negotiations is beneath the dignity of an institution i

revere. in 37 years in the united states senate i cannot recall another instant -- a long time foreign adversary that the president does not have the constitutional authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them. >> iran's foreign minister also weighed in calling the republican letter a propaganda ploy. this all comes amid a new "the wall street journal" poll that is showing that more than 70% of americans do not believe that any agreement with iran is going to stop iran from getting that nuclear weapon and we're going to have a senator with us to discuss a all right and everything else on morning joe. >> hillary clinton is expected to hold a news conference to address questions over her use of a personal e-mail account while secretary of state. yesterday the white house acknowledged that the president and secretary of state did e-mail and he had her address.

>> the president as i think many people expected did over the course of his first several years in office trade e-mails with his secretary of state. i would not describe the number of e-mails as large. but they did have the occasion to e-mail one another. the point is president was making is not that he didn't know her e-mail address. he did. but he was not aware of the details of how that e-mail address and that server had been set up or how secretary clinton and her team were planning to comply with the federal records act. >> okay. >> what do you think about that. >> i think they're saying we did not know she was breaking regulation. in prooif sli he said he learned about it through media accounts and state department officials say the review is underway and it'll make months to complete in part because of the sheer

volume. >> so they pulled audiotape back loader or something. what did they come in with a truck? that's a lot. >> it is a lot. >> i'm just curious were they boxed up or just all jumbled together? are they in order of date or by topic? >> there were several boxes back? >> several? >> yes. >> 55,000 e-mails? >> that is quite a few boxes which speaks to these do cover her span of time at the state department. in in terms of what the boxes look like or order i don't have that level of detail. >> meanwhile, democrats call hillary clinton to address this head on. one long term advisory is saying nothing to see here. he dismissed the accusations along with years of others. >> it was legal and wasn't against regulations. colin powell and jeb bush did the same thing but oh my god,

do you remember white water and travel gate and pardon gate and benghazi measure it's just the same stuff we go through. the times get stuff and print the story and they have to walk the story back and the chin scratchers go the story's not right but it says something larger about the clinton's. this is never going to end. we've lived with this for 20 years. we'll live with it for the rest of the campaign. it's all about nothing. >> and that's of course. james car vil who always told you nothing here. move along. move along. half of everything he said there was factually inaccurate. it was against regulations imposed in 2009. she did order everyone in her state department to never do state department business in personal e-mails. one guy was even fired in part because he used personal e-mails to send out his e-mails but nothing to see here.

move along. despite all the controversy clinton cloin remains comfortable. the latest poll near universal support from democrats and the poll was in the field while this e-mail story was unfolding. and when asked whether clinton needed a primary challenger, 38% of democratic voters felt she did. so as we've been saying for sometime this e-mail story is not going to penetrate, i think mainstream america. >> but there are broader head winds for people like clinton and jeb bush. more people are seeking change. valuing transformation over experience. 60% say a jeb bush presidency would be a return to the ps and that includes 42% of republicans. about half say clinton represents a return to the ps. and "the new york times" argues

her numbers in a general election have eroded. her five rablt ratings for high as secretary of state but the gap in polls lately has closed. she's now under 50% putting her in the same territory as president obama and mitt romney in 2012. >> and democrats could not care less. let's go to oklahoma university where the university is rallying this morning after the members of a fraternity for caught on camera chanting racist remarks. it shows members of sae referencing lynching. soon after it surfaced the university severed ties with the organization and on campus in norman, oklahoma a widespread response from students and university officials alike. this is what a university and

the university president should do when there are members of their community that are singled out. it is a shame that ucla decided to use the targeting of a jewish student as nothing more than a learning moment. we go to nbc news in oklahoma and has more on the story from oklahoma university. in good morning, gabe. >> good morning. the university's president said he could not eat or sleep after first watching this video. all the members of the fraternity who lived in the house behind me have been ordered to move out. >> the video first posted sunday has sparked national outrage. now a second recording from a different angle shows members of the fraternity sigma alpha epsilon at the university of oklahoma chanting racial slurs.

the president joined hundreds of students at a predawn rally. many with tape across their mouths. >> when we heard it it needs to stop. >> my jaw drops. >> this woman is with the african american student group that first received the video on twitter. >> a lot of people like to say this is post racial america. we're not in post racial america, and this is just a huge example. >> sae suspended the local chapter immediately. >> we were appalled and shocked at this video, and more so we were outraged that any member of this fraternity would think this is acceptable. >> graffiti saying tear it down is written on the house. across campus heated debate about punishment. >> i want this to be a rehabillatory time for them. >> the university's president did not mince words. >> kick them out of here. i don't want them here so i

hope they do. i encourage them. i might even pay personal bus fare for them if they go somewhere else. >> reporter: students are wanding together under the hash tag not on our campus. workers have been boarding up the windows of the house behind me. a top football recruit just decommitted and the university is investigating where are the students in that video violated the civil rights act. >> thank you so much. >> and the fraternity has released a statement that includes a reference to reports of other incidents. it reads we apologize for the unacceptable and racist behavior of the vnls in the video and we are disgusted that any member should act in such a way. several other incidents with chapters members have been brought to the attention of the head quarter staff and members and each of these instances will be investigated for further action and this morning the

national office of the delta delta delta vorty says it is corroborating with the investigation. a woman clapping along with the video has yet to be video. regarding the police shooting of an unarmed teenager close to 2,000 students gathered in the state's capitol on monday to protest the shooting of tony robinson who was shot last friday by the police officer. nbc reports from madison. >> reporter: the high school students at a real life civics lesson walks out of class and taking to the streets and a recent high school grad was shot and killed friday night by an officer, a 12-year police veteran. >> you can't shoot an innocent guy. reports of trouble at a gas

station. >> we're looking far male black light skin tan jacket and teens outside yelling and jumping in front of cars. name is tony robinson. >> police say he followed forced his way in because of a disturbance and opened fire when the suspect who police say was not armed assaulted the officer. the chief says his force is well trained, educated and diverse. >> it's only natural that questions and objections should arise. i get that and i'm empathetic to that. . >> the family does not believe deadly force was necessary. >> our hands are stained with the blood of my nephew and we are all left to deal with the aftermath. >> now four straight days of demonstrations. they've been marchs through the city for a couple of hours. and they're going to the state capitol. police estimate some 1500 people

converged. one of the largest gatherings under the dome for years. >> no one should have to die for that. >> mods son's police chief apologized but he stopped short of saying the police did anything criminal. that hand is under other hands, not the local police. >> now to business. stocks closing up across the board. certainly they did yesterday but investors remain skeptical about the new line of watches with apple. they must have been listening to you. less than half of one percent and at one point dipped into negative territory as usa today notes that's the worse rejection to a major apple release since the i pod in 201. let me say that again. since is i pod which only revolutionized american and

world culture. let's bring in geoff cutmore who joins us from london. we were talking about how all of us sat around the table making fun of steve jobs when he paraded out the i pad. we said who would want that in we don't get that. >> this is different. >> it's not. >> we have been debating. and you just saw after the i pod. the stock went down after after the i pad, people were mocking steve jobs. we had his boyographer here saying he was broken hearted that night looking at the terrible reviews and now it's revolutionized everything. are we doing it again with the watch? >> reporter: you never write apple off but will this be the product that gets apple over the big trillion dollar market cap number here and that's really the question. it's the pricing of this

product, i think rather than the features that has people scratching their head here. the base model, the sports model comes in at $349. that's a chunk of change by anybody's math and as you look at the different models, the gold version at $10,000 and way up to $17,000. this is priced like an expensive rolex. >> you could buy a car. >>. >> reporter: is it just another samsung watch. it's the pricing that's not the analysts concerned here but like we said at the beginning who knew we needed an i pod ar i pad. maybe they've got it right. we'll wait and watch. but we're going to talk some more about the features coming up later on. let me switch gears for a moment and talk gm with now. the activists investor has been leaning on the business and

saying you need to do something to get the share price moving and they finally taken the hand break off. $5 million share buy back. that should help sentiment around this stock. >> still ahead on "way too early" the american ambassador to south korea is released from the hospital this morning after a brutal attack last week. we're going to hear his story in his own words. >> and we have that story and a check on the weather when "way too early" comes back.
