right person to address economic inequality. >> americans have fought their way back against tough economic times. >> reporter: the video stands in contrast to her announcement in 'oh 8. this message is about the voter. clinton doesn't appear until about halfway through the voter. the emphasis is on sharing the stories of american voters of different ages races and sexual orientation. >> and when hillary clinton says she's hitting the trail to iowa she means it. the former first lady is driving in a van to iowa. her first stop was at a gas station where aids said she visited with people there. she posted a picture of the great family she met yesterday at her stop. she finished third there in

2008. the long buildup gave her oh poebts plenty of time to prepare. jeb bush posted we must do better than hill pri. scott walker also blasted clinton's failed foreign policy and what he called her washington knows best mentality. he promised big, bold ideas and also linked to the pac supporting him. ted cruz says he's ready for hillary clinton. and >> does america want a third obama term? or are we ready for strong conservative leadership to make america great again? >> someone else also went a tweet and video response calling hillary clinton highly intelligent and hard working but short on accomplishments. >> she doesn't have a track record of leadership or

trustworthiness. she's not the woman for the white house. >> rand paul who's been hillary clinton's most vocal critic so far unleashed his own video. >> hillary clinton represents the worst of the washington machine. the arrogance, conflicts of interest. >> critics are also pouncing on a nonendorsement from a democrat. he told our own chuck todd he wasn't ready tone dors her quite yet. >> are you for her or do you want to wait to see if she takes your advice on moving to a more progressive agenda. >> i want to see a vision and that would be true of candidates on all levels. it's time to see a clear vision for progressive economic change. >> you're not endorseing her? >> not until i see and i would

say this about any candidate, i see where they want to go. i think she is one of the most qualified people to run for this office and thorlyoughly vetted but we need to see the substance. >> her daughter tweeted a quote, very proud of you, mom, clinton also had the support of new york governor andrew cuomo. she also won praise from the group's planned parenthood and pro-choice america. on saturday president obama was asked the impending campaign of the turn of hillary clinton. >> with respect to clinton, i'll make my comments very brief. she was a formidable candidate in 2008. she was a great supporter of mine in the general election. she was an outstanding secretary

of state. she is my friend. i think she would be an excellent president. and i'm not only ballot. the one thing i'm going to say is she's going to be able to handle herself very well in any debate around foreign policy and her trek record with with respect to domestic policy is one that cares about work and families. >> the republican presidential field also continues to take sthap. marco rubio posted a video for his announcement later today. >> don't expect big videos like you got from the other contenders. >> we're excited about our announcement tomorrow. >> a wind screen there, sir. he'll make it official in miami

on thursday she's expected to travel to boston for a fundraiser and then onto new hampshire where gop candidates will gather for a summit. >> the dualing narratives in iran for over when sanctions would be lift second-degree leaded is leading to a debate here at home. >> it's probably in black and white that the ayatollah is probably right. john kerr vi delusional and he came back in my view i think you're going to find out, that they had never agreed to the things that john kerri claimed that they had. >> those comments by mccain prompted president obama to launch a strong defense of secretary kerri. >> now, when i hear some like senator mccain recently suggest that our secretary of state, john kerri who served in the united states senate a vietnam

veteran, who's provided exemplary service to this nation, is somehow less trustworthy in the intention of what's in a political agreement than the supreme leader of iran that's an indication of the degree to which partisanship has crossed all boundaries. >> meanwhile secretary kerri says he sees no reason to engage in a back and forth over how iranian officials are describing the agreement. >> you know, they're going to put their spin on their point of view, and obviously they'll allege we're putting a spin on our boyfriendpoint of view. i'll stand by the facts i've put out, and they put out a different set of interpretations but when it came time to the agreement, it was the agreement we had articulated it and it is the agreement that has been

kept. >> republican senator rand paul says says remains september cal about iran but supports efforts to negotiate with iran. >> many conservatives who are mad and want to criticize the president, they don't remember we negotiated with the russians for decades. didn't mean we trusted him. i'm still in the came camp. while i want a deal i don't want a bad deal. >> a new audiotape has e americaed with an officer who killed walter scott appears to laugh about an adrenaline rush moments after the incident. the tape allegedly is between a senior office and michael slager. >> by the time you get home it would probably be a good nod kind of jot down your thoughts on what happened. you know once the adrenaline kicked in. >> meanwhile hundreds attended a

funeral service for scott. at least 200 more were turned away due to lack of state. many politicians were among the attendant attendant. >> al sharpton blazed the city's police chief for taking quick action. >> what this mayor did is what we've asked mayors to do all over the country. not do us a favor. just enforce the law. in the deep south, a mayor and police chief did what we couldn't get mayors in the north and the midwest to do. >> and former new york city police commissioner, a former opponent of police body cameras

says the video of scott's death has changed his mind on the issue. >> we have to assume that this officer would not act the way he did if in fact he had a body camera that was recording. i mean it just -- you have to use logic in this. i think it is a game changer and what you'll see is a movement now by many more police departments to go to cameras. there are issues and problems with it but this trumps all of those problems. >> let's turn to business. things are off to a good start for u.s. to be this is week after the dow climbed last week to cross the 18,000 mark. but greece's money whoas continue after it failed to reach a long term financial aid deal with its creditors. now from london what the k you tell us about the greece deal? >> the deal ma that night not be. this is problem. they've been trying to get a deal for as long as i've been a

business reporter or the last seven years. they would have had a deal lined up if they hadn't been so disdainful of the wishes of the creditors. there's a series of disasters which means a deal might not be on the table. they've been too critical of the creditors and the policies of awer thety and they went to the germans and said we want war reparations. they also cozied up to president putin which wasn't seen as a positive thing and the finance minister. now, move to state side story. this is good news for consumers. food prices are going down aggressively because people think the dollar is going to continue to rally and the harvest could be good thp year. soy beans down 7 nkt. the interesting thing is they don't make up the huge

percentage of the overyawl cost but the direction is good news for the u.s. consumer. expect lower prices. >> that's good news. it was a worldwide frenzy friday to get the first crack at reserving an apple watch before sales begin next week. what kind of numbers do we see on that? >> big numbers. big numbers. we're expecting two-thirds of the orders coming in for the less expensive sports line. that starts at $349. third coming in for the $549 version. we didn't get a break down of who went for the gold edition. orders didn't present a big enough orders to show up in the overall stats but the average selling price for the watch was 504. the most popular color is space

gray. i don't know if you went for the gold one but the majority of people went for the space gray in. >> i'll stay with my own watch. thank you so much. we appreciate it. still ahead on "way too early." golf ledge ends get schooled by a 21-year-old at the masters in record fashion. great story. highlights there and the gift that keeps on giving and will for at least the next year as snl takes on hillary clinton. those stories and a check on weather when "way too early" comes right back. >> a moment in history. pope john paul today made the first visit to a synagogue and deplored the hatred and per cushion of jews over the years.
