conference. alex wagner will lead the coverage of that on her show which begins right now. we are awaiting remarks from president obama at the annual conference of the naacp where he is expect ed toed to under that agreement iran has agree ed agreed to level ed tod to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium. and remove two-thirds of the centrifuges and allow inspectors around the clock access. extends the breakout time to at least 1 year.

in exchange iran will receive over $100 billion in sanctions relief. although the agreement was hailed by many as historic it already has its critics. >> this is a bad mistake. of historic proportions. >> the deal that we have out there in my view from what i know of it thus far is unacceptable. >> i greet wit skepticism. this has been on a downward trend for some time. >> this is the most dangerous, irresponsible step i've ever seen in the history of watching the mideast. >> once all the paperwork is filed congress will have 60 days to review the deal. if lawmakers vote against it president obama has threatened a veto. joining me now is senator joe mansion from west virginia. senator, there is no shortage of criticism about this deal coming from some your colleagues on capitol hill. do you plan to support it.

>> first of all there's not been a perfect bill up here. we're dealing with a situation where we don't crusttrust iran. they don't trust u.s. that is why you have the nuclear people involve that understand this. that's why the p5+1. so to say that it is a bad deal let me just tell you historiwise where we come from alex. 2003 we walked away. the united states of america says hard line. we're not going deal with you. by golly we're just walking away. and they had less than 200 centrifuges spinning back then, iran. we walked away. fast forward to today, they have 19,000. that game plan didn't work well. so if we can stop -- if we can basically have access. and we have to look at this entire deal. but the bottom line is we've got to make sure we do everything possible to keep iran from having a nuclear weapon. and walking away saying it is a bad deal when you have five

other countries that are willing to work with you. and if the trigger is pulled on sanctions, are the sanctions tough enough to come back harder. that is the things we need to see in this deal. >> those sound like positive thoughts about this deal. >> well they are. >> and i guess i wonder, you know, there ease been a lot of criticisms from republicans. senate democrats, some of them have been sort of mum. i wonder if you have spoken to senator chuck schumer today. >> yes. chuck did see me on the floor and e says i see that you have got a pretty strong position i said chuck i have a very open position i think it is a positive position. i want to see us be able to do something to move forward. i'm not looking at anything accept basically where we have been and where we will be if we don't try to do manager. >> and what did the senator say. >> he said i'm stilling at all the options. that's chuck. he's open and looking at it. and we'll see where it happens to come down. but i don't know what the alternative is. the alternative is to say okay

we don't trust you. we know we don't trust them. and you know what? they don't trust us. so we have two countries that are lacking trust. can you build anything? well you have to have some partners. we have p5+1. five other countries. china and russia two of those countries. so, you know, until -- if we're committed that iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon that can proliferate the problems that we already have in the mideast, then we're going to have to have these other countries where we all go together and that it means something and hurts them. >> so senator manchin, are do you share the thinking at the white house that iran is on a path towards moderation? . i'm not going to say i believe they are on a path to

modernization. >> moderation. >> moderation. i'm sorry. i don't think that is their repertory. >> but if you don't fundamentally think they are moving towards a more moderate stance, why make this deal? >> i think the public will push them towards that. they know the sanctions had an effect on the lives of these people. and these people have usually been friendly towards americans over the past. so do they want to build a relationship again? i mean for us not to try being a super power, alex a super power means more than super military might and monetary powers. it means diplomacy. and we've got to try hard and go to the rest of the country. if we bring this alone we have nobody out there with us. if we go with the p5+1 and then the international community as far as the nuclear community overseeing this. and i said this. i will wait and pass my final judgment when i get to hear

secretary ernie menise secretary of energy one of our profound nuclear scientists of america that's been on the front line of the talks. when he hear him come. he doesn't bring a political view to the table. he brings it basically unfiltered and i can't wait to hear and talk to him. >> you know you are really in the negotiations when he's referred to as ernie. i'm sure the white house hopes you spread the optimism to the rest of the caucus. >> we need to be optimistic that we can move forward and use our super diplomacy to try to bring the world back together and bring peace and stability. because we sure don't have it now. >> senator always a pleasure to speak with you. joining me is former democratic congresswoman jane harmon and dean of the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies valley nasr. just in terms of congress jane

where do you see this going and how important do you think it is for the president to have a congressional stamp of approval on this deal? >> well let me start with this is the deal. this is how big it is. this was agreed to just last night as one member of the team described it it is a rubik's cube. and all of these people rushing to denounce it, for sure, haven't red itad it. so i would say let's all read it and think about it and put it in a context. congress's approval does matter. because where we are now is that the p5, let's pust us in the plus 1 has agreed to this. and they are going to move on. and if our congress prevents agreement to this we're going to be blamed. so it matters that congress gets to yes even if it is upholding the president's veto. i would see it that way. but i think there are a lot of things we have toe learn about it. and i think congress ought to learn the facts before

expressing an opinion. and i intend to do the same thing. and let me just say my mantra would be mistrust and verify. i don't believe what iran is saying. but i want to know if the terms of this deal are tough enough so that regardless of what it says it has to do the right things. >> let me ask you that sort of top line question. do you think this is a good deal? >> well what i think it's a good deal means that both sides are at a point where they are comfortable with moving forward with a plan of action. and i think the united states its allies and iran have arrived at the point where both can agree -- can live within agreement. and i think from here on the question is about implementation. it is not what is in the document now. we know what they have agreed to. that iran would give up majority of its enrichment. the united states would ease sanctions. the question is about implementation. >> when we talk about the immediate reactions i think one of the more distressing ones came from basher al-assad who

greeted it with calling it a the major turning point in the history of iran. i mean when bashar al-assad agrees with a deal i think it is cause for consternation. >> you can see my reaction. i'm not that interested in what he has to say. and i am sympathetic to the view of many in israel including the prime minister, that this is a bad deal. why are they saying this? because there are a hundred thousand hezbollah rockets focused on israel from southern lebanon. and they have been put there by hezbollah, which is a terror proxy of iran. you can see why where you sit is where you stand. but in terms of what the american reaction should be, i'm hoping the administration puts this in a context.

it is a transactional deal not a transformational deal as rob litvav a scholar here and vice president for scholars puts it. so what is the transformation we're seeking? what is the strategy for the mideast? and how will this deal help us achieve our interests in the mideast which include obviously stopping isil, stabilizing syria and hoping that the government in iraq survives as the pluralist democratic government. >> let me get your reaction valley. i think the white house very much hopes it is transformational and puts iran towards a path of moderation. what is your thought? >> at its core this is an arms control deal. a transactional deal that is about limiting military and nuclear capability of a country's capability in exchange for sanctions relief. this is something like what the united states did with the soviet union during the cold

war. i think in both iran and the united states there is hope that the transaction will lead to transformation. that ultimately, even by signing this deal even by negotiating, both iran and the united states have passed a threshold. they have never talked to one another seriously before. they have never signed a deal before. iran have never even recognized any kind of agreement with the united states. and that in these steps that have been taken, something has changed. and if they can stay the course if this deal is actually implemented going forward, if two years from now the deal is still in place, that then we are going to begin to see a much broader impact. and so this is a very first step towards transformation. and transformation would not have been possible without this transaction. >> jane how concerned are you that iran was able to lift the arms embargo and american ss --

remains in prison in iran. do you think his release will come? >> to my friend volley who knows a great deal about this. and i salute his role now and his enormously important public career. but i don't think hope is a strategy. i heard john kerry call today for the release of -- i thought it was resnian, and three other americans held by iran. they need to be released. i said mistrust and verify. i don't believe what iran is saying now. i want to wait to see what they do. i'm very worried about funding of proxy groups. i a lot of people think when sanctions are relieved, there will be even more money for the proxy groups. they seem to have a lot of money anyway. and the iran's actions have not been other than negotiating something that might be promising, have not been positive. and the hundred thousand rockets bothers me. the burning of american and

israeli flags in teheran three days ago. the rhetoric of the republic of iran bothers me enormously. and if the ban on the import and export of conventional weapons comes off, probably will be in 8 years as i read the terms of the agreement. i'm not sure it could be sooner. but if that comes off and iran can get more conventional weapons from russia and provide 200,000 or more weapons to the terror proxy groups and its behavior hasn't changed, that could be a disaster. >> vali your thoughts on jason and what the expected outcome is in your mind. >> i think the points and worries that jane expressed are absolutely correct and valid. but the reality is that when sanctions were imposed on iran were specifically the to get them to negotiate on the nuclear issue. and when negotiations happened

human rights issues and the negotiations of prisoners and others were not at the table and therefore were not negotiated. i also think that jason's case is somewhat of a political football in iran in a sense that the hard liners wanted to limit the potential of a negotiation to become something much bigger. and obviously trying to harass iranian americans and journalists was part of that. of the i think, you know, it is possible now that the deal is done. now that that issue is done that there will be less use in keeping jason in prison. but i think those are issues that have to be addressed. unfortunately they were not part of the negotiation package when the two sides sat down. and therefore jason was simply not discussed in vienna or geneva. >> we know president obama will be having a press conference to talk about the deal on iran. i'm sure there will be many of these questions asked and more. thank you so much for your time. any minute now president obama is expected to take the

stage at the naacp's annual conference to speak about reforms of the criminal justice system a system that currently holds more people behind bars than any other system in the world. we'll bring you those remarks up next. why do i take metamucil everyday? because it helps me skip the bad stuff. i'm good. that's what i like to call the meta effect. 4-in-1 multi-health metamucil is clinically proven to help you feel less hungry between meals. experience the meta effect with our multi-health wellness line.

when donald trump arrived at his new winery project today. he did not appear to be under strong guard expect he contacted the fbi about a twitter death threat. upon report of the el chapo escape this weekend, trump

launched a twitter tirade. >> i'm only concerned about our country. i'm not concerned about myself. law enforcement is looking very carefully. but i'll tell you what. i'm not concerned about me. it is a much bigger subject called our country. and that is what i'm concerned about. >> joining me is the host of democracy now amy goodman. correspondent forthe upshot of the "new york times" josh barro. and the brittany cooper. josh, does it surprise you that the person who may end up putting donald trump in his place is the head of the sinaloa cartel. >> i'm amazed at troump get in a twitter feud with anyone. who newel chapo had a twitter presence. and it's so surreal the like amazing performance art that's turned trump into -- >> it is performance art. like a cable news blizzard too.

escaped mexican drug lord and donald trump in the same. >> but officially he is the leading candidate for republican presidential nomination. it is a joke but also not a joke. >> to that end there is a new suffolk university u.s.a. today poll out that shows trump ahead of bush at 17%. that may not hold for the rest of the season but it certainly is going to have an impact on the debates in a couple of weeks. >> as josh just said, but it is about a joke not a joke. and that is the issue here. look at the state of the republicans. because the polls show who the republicans want. you have the republicans when south carolina the first state to secede take down the battle flag. you have republicans do not want to take it down. >> in fairness there are some republicans who have said let's take it down. >> true. but a number have not. they have not come to the same conclusion as even the

republicans in the south carolina legislature. you have trump as an old fashioned bigot. a racist. he generalizes from the particular situation to call and he's going after immigrants and he also sees himself as the center of the universe. if there is something drug lord out there he's probably his target. and then you have walker who goes after workers who goes after wages. this is who the republicans at this moment are supporting. and i think there are many republicans who feel very differently and are appalled at the state of this party. >> surely there are. i would say jeb bush does not represent the same wing of the party as trump on the issue of immigration let's say. and it's not ended in trump slipping in the polls it. goes on with him rising in the polls. and one must think that there is some soul searching going on in some corner of the gop where

people say what is it about this rhetoric that is finding a home among our base? are they really soul searching? >> i think they want to win the white house and donald trump is not going win the white house for them. on a crass political level. and the rhetoric is so abhorrent and divisive. >> we have a significant segment of this country that actually does feel threatened by the fact that we are rapidly becoming a brown country. so he plays out those anxieties for people by saying look i can beat you, we're better than you. it is this old quote unquote cowboys and indians rhetoric where he postures and says i will kick his ass. right? he says that. so that does appeal to this american base that wants to return to a narrative of greatness and that base does not care about antagonizing. >> and by the way took pride in the confederate flag coming down and gay marriage legalized. >> my hometown brought it down the day after there were calls for it to come down.

>> there was a majority of people that looked at that day when the flag was taken down or at least we are led to believe -- go ahead. >> i think we have to at some point be honest about the fact there is deep seated racial an mis mis animus animus. and this is why you have someone like trump getting traction. until a significant portion of the party stands up takes him on and says your rhetoric is a problem, it is not going to stop. >> do you think they are interrelated? the conversation about race and racial dynamics in this country is actually related to trump's rise? i think trump is about a number of things and race is only one of the many insecurities he's playing on. make america great again, he has people feeling insecure about the way the country is changing. for all sorts of reasons. i think a lot is appealing to

the people in the say way as ross perot did when he ran. trump is managing to be a much more ridiculous figure than ross perot. >> and remember perot pulled out because he said iranians were targeting his daughter at her wedding. >> and similar situation with el chapo. >> i think trump is most embarrassing for the candidates losing ground to trump. i think the bush people have to be pleased about this. nobody who was thinking about voting for bush in this primary is going to go vote for donald trump. but ben carson is down around 4%. >> rubio, 5%. cruz 6%. >> a lot of the parts of the republican base where you turn the dial up to 11 on the red meat and the candidates like ted cruz whose strategy is that are

seeing themselves outcompeted by this reality television moron. >> there is another person who likes this and that is hillary clinton. >> absolutely. >> this is trump on facebook today. hillary clinton is desperate, sad, obviously very nervous. i'm honored however she's attacking me instead of jeb bush bushich bushich. obviously she knows that jeb is no longer her real competition. i want to play donald trump speakic about hillary clinton not but two and a half years ago. >> hillary clinton is a nice woman. i'm a little bias. i've known her and her husband for years. i think xi really works horde and she does a good job. >> what happened there in those two and a half years? >> trump is trolling us. >> trump trumped himself. he's running for president so he's running against hillary clinton en. but it is also very important to look at where the republicans are and where the democrats are

on many issues. for example on trade issues hillary clinton stands with the president when it comes to for example -- >> well we think on trade. >> won't exactly state her opinion as she doesn't on a lot of things. you have your own reporter coming up to her trying to get her to express her opinion right now on the iran deal. i guess they haven't had time to do a poll yet if she should actually make her statement. which is a big problem for hillary clinton, is that she cannot seem to come out and state a point of view. because when she did. when she was very strong to be iraq war. she voted for it. it took her down. it was peronealrobably the main difference between her and obama. >> in the remaining seconds we have hillary clinton is trying to stoke the progressive fire -- home fires, if you will and has been using the language and speaking to the themes. absolutely yesterday at the new school she did. but you hear amy and i think

there is still a ton of skepticism about how legitimately grounded these big ticket proposals. >> i don't think there is a whole lot of belief in hillary clinton on the progressive left. i think folks have clear she's a centerist candidate. i think she will have to again make really clear what her stance on iran and free trade is. here is the thing. what is also happening is she's being pulled to the left of this conversation the president is going to have today. >> exactly. >> so i'm hoping this gives her opportunity to push farther left and recognize she has a progressive left base wanting her to stand up and do that. >> in a way it's president obama's policy legacy pushing her left maybe more so than sanders or warren. >> she thought the capital gains tax shouldn't go higher than 20. i think there is going to be pressure on her from that. it is not as dramatic a break as the stuff that involves actually

running against a candidate but i think you are right. >> we are going to hear more from the president any minute now. he's going take the stage at the annual naacp conference. he's expected to speak about the reforms to the criminal justice system. watch as these magnificent creatures take flight, soaring away from home towards the promise of a better existence. but these birds are suffering. because this better place turned out to have an unreliable cell phone network and the videos on their little bird phones kept buffering. birds hate that. so they came back home. because they get $300 from switching back to verizon. and so can you! verizon, come home to a better network. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me... and you're talking to a rheumatologist about a biologic this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira helping me reach for more. doctors have been prescribing

[laughs] no can we play again? yeah! any moment president obama will deliver a major speech in philadelphia at the naacp convention. he's expected to outline some of the most ambitious reforms yet to the nation's justice system calling for bipartisan legislation to reduce unduly harsh sentences and reduce racial disparities and lower the

house tax burden to prisoners. it comes just one day after the president commuted the sentences of 46 non violent drug offenders, 14 of whom had been sentenced to life in prison. joining us now -- professor, let's start with the commuting of these sentences, which seems historic both in so far as it took place in broad daylight. the president didn't do this at night and the fact who benefitted from all of this. >> it's ees's historic for a couple of reasons. one the president has evolved. he pardoned fewer than the last four presidents combined. now he's pardoned more than the last four combined. so it's evolution. he's understanding, after ferguson after baltimore, after charleston this isn't only criminal justice, this is a

racial justice issue. there are these draconian sentences that have an disparate impact on the african americans. so this is a family issue and i think he gets that. >> brittany he is expected to sort of talk about the unjust broken criminal justice system in economic terms i think in part because you have a very unlikely set of allies coming together on this. and frequently the economics is the thing that everybody can agree on. but in truth the racial disparity is the most flagrant and perhaps egregious part of all this. white men have a 1 in 7 chance of going to prison. black men a 1 in 3 chance. >> he has time. just another year and change left for him to begin to say this is a glaring dark spot that is happening in our country on our national sense of our ourselves, that we are literally engaged in a form of modern day

slavery and exploitation and not only are we hawesing prisoners but using them for labor of private corporations. in some states they tax the earnings many of these prisoners make. so if you make 25 cents an hour they take half in taxes to make you pay or contribute to your housing. so this is all about a long-standing system. so even the women i study and the work i do we're talking about convict leasing in prisons, in the early 1900s, in the late 19th century. this is a long-standing logic about locking up people who we don't want to assimilate as citizens and don't want to create opportunities for, stigmatizing them and making sure than they don't have a pathway into the full citizenship. >> and ensuring they will stay in prison regardless of whether they see trial but because they are poor. new york city is reforming the term of cash bail. and that is a huge development in so far as half a million people are locked out because

they can't afford the bail to get out when they await trial. >> the young man accused of stealing a backpack. he goes to liker er reichers. they kept saying you can get out if you just admit it. but he said i didn't. he just could not afford the bail. he gets out of prison tries to go to college. beloved where he goes to school and ends up committing suicide. one of the legions of young african american men and women who end up in the criminal justice system and then the people who run the banks who literally have stolen billions of from the american people and whose gone to jail? and this is not lost on people. and people are fed up. and also why you have people like bernie sanders who are just soaring. some people who are addressing this inequity this inequality. >> to that end, eric garner's

family -- the case settled by new york city for $5.9 million yesterday, paul. i have to read this statement from the president of the new york police department sergeant's benevolent association. >> do you have to? >> i do. this settlement amount tendered to the garner family is obscene. the family should not be rewarded simply because he repeatedly chose to break the law and resist arrest. you read that and it is really clear that there are two americas when it comes to police brutality and the ways in which our system is either broken or not in the eyes of some. >> and one of those americas just does not get it. you know the family was -- >> is angry about it. >> the family had this press conference with reverend al. and the city had said we're going to settle this because it saves money. they didn't admit liability. didn't want a long trial. but they also said they hoped it would bring the family some closer. today that family said there is

no closer until there is a criminal prosecution. the officer who choked this man to death is still walking around the streets with a gun. >> i want to touch on something you brought up before brittany. which is good -- sometimes good in this country at dealing with the symbols of injustice. whether taking a flag down or settling for a certain amount of money. and one argues they are right to do but beginning steps. >> right. >> and the question is the follow through. mostly in terms of reforming the institutions that have led to these failures. >> absolutely. >> and i guess do you think we're getting better? i think i asked this last time you weren't the show. >> no. look. a man died because he was -- he died, period. he didn't die for a reason other than racism other than terrible policing of communities. and so there will be other eric garners. there will be other john crawfords. there will be other mike browns until we begin to have this conversation about how we change policing. and so i hear the family when they are saying money is no

value. there is no value that you can put on black life. and it is almost obscene to suggest they would have peace because they have money. the point is we want the communities to be safer. we want black people to be able to go about their daily lives and not feel harassed by the people who are there to protect them. and until we havecan have an honest conversation about that. it doesn't matter people's hearts were moved if we can't change the culture of policing in the country and cops turning their backs on mayors when mayors say -- >> certain mayors. not naming any names. >> right. so if we have that we haven't actually changed the folks we need to change. >> i will say as we wait for the president's remarks and the even naacp. it feels like the fourth quarter is where he's going to be more aggressive. even in the wake of charleston, he was talking about racial disparity in sentencing and talking about race in a more i

think straightup way, if you will than he has since trayvon martin. >> i was in selma for the speech and charleston for the funeral for reverend pinckney where president obama gave that very powerful address. and he says he is fearless. let's see if his feeling right now is matched by his record of what he's going to do. i mean i can't help but think that at the same time he was saying this one of the great drivers of inequality, these trade deals, he was pushing through with a passion. but on the other hand right now he has a chance to change the record, for example, as you were pointing out paul on the issue of clemency. i'd also like to know if leonard peltier will ever be granted clemency. president clinton weighed this. a man who's been in prison for decades. a native american leader. and it is not only around non

violent drug offenses and i think it is very important to revisit that case is as well. >> he's got to show leadership on this issue. you know if he just talks about the need to make police more responsive to the communities, even to reform some of these dra draconian drug sentences. a lot of times when he talks about race it sounds like he's explaining black people to white people. he hasn't really been showing that visionary leadership for our community that he has finish some other communities and you know we skpratly need it. >> i'm sure everyone at the naacp and all of our viewers are waiting to hear what the president has to say. when woe come back is scott walker too boring to be president? do you like the passaaadd? it's a good looking car. this is the model rear end event. the model year end sales event.

wisconsin governor scott walker became the 15th republican to enter the 2016 race last night and threw out several pounds of red conservative meat. >> we took on the unions and we won. we defined planned parenthood. we need to repeal obamacare once

and for all. we need the same requirement to make sure people can pass a drug test before -- >> and we now require a photo id to vote in this state. >> did you see the wink there? he's so psyched. josh. is scott walker not just a much less entertaining donald trump. >> liberals talk about him so awful, so far right. but they have lost to this guy over and over again in a blue state. >> wisconsin is the most partisan divided state in the country. >> yes but it is a state -- when was the last time they voted republican for president? i believe 1984. it is not strongly democratic but a state where democrats have a modest advantage. >> i'm confused about your general thesis that liberals don't need to get too giddy because he actually stands a chance?

>> liberals look at him and oh he's such an extremist and they think they can point and say extremist and they will win. >> and does this guy actually represent the republican party and what are the implications on the national stage stage. >> he represents a portion. he's a bit tight to the rubio and bush. going out and saying the party should pursue a constitutional amendment on gay marriage. and he's out there saying he doesn't think the boy scouts should be letting gay adults participate in the organization. he's definitely staking a more conservative view on views. and i think the left needs to be careful when they look at him and figure which of those things are wedge issues they can win and on and which aren't. on the union power stuff which is why liberals have gone after walker during his governorship, they keep fighting him and losing at the ballot box. >> this is an interesting

strategy. apparently it is much easier to move from being a conservative to being a middle-of-the-road moderate later on. >> he's got tremendous hostility against him, yes he also has some support. i was speaking at an energy fair in custer wisconsin. he comes out and says we have to care less about climate change, really. and i think rather than talk about unions talk about workers and the level that people are suffering right now. he actually isn't that different than bush when talking about people have to work more. or trump, when it comes to just that level of visit ree yoel that he's willing to out there.

visit visit. >> it was astounding and it was not a bunch of liberals. i was interviewing old guys with white lair and classes and and they voted for governor walker. i saw some of the biggest guys out there i've ever seen. who did you vote for? they said governor walker of course. and they were oshkosh prison cords. he united people across the spectrum against him. yes he's won some victories. he has some very powerful backers as he seeks the support of the koch brothers and as he pursues bids. he is part and parcel of all of the leaders right now of the republican party contending for the presidency. >> brittany i'm going to have to hold that thought because president obama is actually finally addressing the naacp convention in philadelphia where he's going talk about criminal

justice reform. let me also say what everybody knows but doesn't always want to say out loud. y'all would rather have michelle here. i understand. i don't blame you. but i will do my best to fill her shoes. and she sends everybody her love and i want to thank your chair, your president, cornell brookes, i want to thank your governor tom wolff who was outstanding work and who's here. the mayor michael nutter who's been a great friend and ally. governor dan malloy of connecticut is here today.

and some outstanding members of congress bhorwho are here. thank you to all of you for your love support. but most importantly for the work that you are doing in your communities all across the country every single day. it is not always received with a lot of fanfare. sometimes it is lonely work. sometimes it is hard work. sometimes it is frustrating work. but it is necessary work. and it builds on a tradition of this organization that reshaped the nation. for 106 years the naacp has worked to close the gaps between the words of our found inging, that we are all created equal. and by our creator endowed with certain unalienable rights.

trying to match those words with the realities we live each and every day. in your first century this organization stood up to lynching and jim crowe and segregation. helped to shepherd a civil rights act and a voting rights act. i would not be here and so many others would not be here without the naacp. [ applause ] in your second century we've worked together to give more of our children a shot at a quality education. to help more families rise up out of poverty. to protect future generations from environmental damage. to create fair housing. to help more workers find the purpose of a good job. and together we've made real progress.

including a "my brother's keeper" initiative to more young people a fair shot in life. including the passage of a law that declares healthcare is not a privilege for the few but a right for all of us. we made progress but our work is not done. by just about every measure the life chances for black and hispanic youth still lag behind those of our white peers. our kids america's children so often are isolated without hope, less likely to graduate from high school less likely to earn a college degree less likely to be employed. >> that is president obama addressing the naacp's annual convention in philadelphia. you can watch the full remarks

live online. that is all for "now." the "ed show" is coming up next. good evening americans and welcome to the "ed show" live from new york. let's get to work. tonight a deal divided. >> long-term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. >> this agreement could be a beginning. >> what a stunning historic mistake. >> we'll do everything we can to stop it. >> plus out of this world. >> fasten your seat belts. new horizons has arrived at the pluto system. >> later clinton's capitol hill visit. >> we're pleased to welcome, in the fullest sense of that word secretary hillary clinton to our caucus. >> we had a great conversation with secretary clinton. >> and packing punches. >> the left claims that they are for american workers and they just got lame ideas, things like the minimum
