graduate on time, john, at howard. if you graduate in four years, it will pay half the cost of your last semester a savings of about $6,000. it s part of efforts to make howard more affordable to students and graduate with less debt. right now about 46% of howard s students graduate in four years. that to me those numbers scare me that less than half of students graduate in four years. look at the national average. 39%. you wonder why we have a student loan crisis. it s because people are taking out $20,000 to $40,000 a year in student loans, and they re not getting out on time. or in some cases they re dropping out, and then that good debt becomes bad debt. four-year college is not four-year college for the majority of american students. so bravo, howard university. that s what i ve got to say. early start continues right now. the dire warning from israel s prime minister creating new controversy this morning. warning congress that iran will acquire a nuclear weapon if white
reporter: good morning, john and christine. while heading the state department hillary clinton relied solely on a personal e-mail account. it s not that strange for a secretary to have a personal account, but only a personal account, this is out of the norm. and while clinton may not have broken the law by doing this, she certainly broke with the spirit of the law. clinton released 55,000 pages of her e-mails to the state department recently, but she has unilateral control over this account, and republicans are hammering her for it. the state department does not have all of secretary clinton s e-mails on its servers. only she has a complete record. and the committee is going to have to go to her and her attorneys and her e-mail providers to ensure we have access to everything the american people are entitled to know. reporter: a clinton aide tells me her use of just a personal account was nothing nefarious. she had a blackberry before she became secretary, he tells me, and she ke
worse than this one. but keep in mind, obama did say that at this point, it is more likely than not that iran rejects this deal. john and christine? thank you for that, michelle. now, while netanyahu spoke, just as important 6,000 miles away in israel, the prime minister facing an election in only two weeks. many people back home feel that speech was part of his re-election campaign. for the latest reaction in israel let s bring in our oren liebermann live in jerusalem. good morning, oren. reporter: good morning, christine. there is no doubt that even if netanyahu did not intend this as a political speech, it is certainly being viewed through that lens now with less than two weeks to go until the elections. this is polling as a very close election with likud neck and neck with labor camp on the left to see who will win the election and be israel s next prime minister. if this is viewed as a political
speech then herzog viewed as his main rival, came out immediately after his speech and blasted the prime minister for straining u.s./israel relations and doing nothing to advance the dialogue on how to keep israel safe from a nuclear iran. translator: the painful truth is that after the applause netanyahu remained alone, israel remained isolated and negotiations with iran will continue without the involvement of israel. this speech therefore, greatly undermined the relationship between israel and the united states. reporter: now the shift focuses to those elections. and the real question in light of this speech is whose opinion did he change? those who liked him before certainly like him even more now after a very charismatic speech. those who didn t like him before and view this purely as a political move still don t like him. so there are some undecided voters here. we ll find out especially in the next few days what they thought of this and if their opinions on netanyahu changed
presented no viable alternative. even though president obama did not watch this speech, he did spend nearly 15 minutes responding to it. the alternative that the prime minister offers is no deal in which case iran will immediately begin once again pursuing its nuclear program, accelerate its nuclear program, without us having any insight into what they re doing. and without constraint. reporter: so now that we ve heard netanyahu, we can see how over the past couple of days the white house really tried to steal his thunder and preempt virtually everything he said and make an argument against it, saying that if you add more restrictions on to iran now, more sanctions, or trying to get it to entirely dismantle its nuclear program or set an indefinite time frame on the deal, then iran just won t take it. tantamount to no deal at all and in stark contrast to the israelis, this administration feels that no deal would be way
