space station. the space walk expected to last 6 1/2 hours. good luck to them. we are always so grateful that you spent some time with us in the morning. make sunday a really good one. >> we will do the same. "inside politics" with john king starts right now. a conservative testing ground for republican presidential hopefuls. >> we could have had hillary here, but we couldn't find a foreign nation to foot the bill. >> well, sometimes people need to be told to sit down and shutup. >> scott walker raises eyebrows comparing his showdown with unions to fighting isis. >> i can take on 100,000 protesters, i can do the same across the world. >> and jeb bush answers the boos -- >> wait a minute, hang on. >> i'm marking them down as neutral and i want to be your second choice. >> plus, ask speaker john boehner about republican disarray in congress and he'll blow you a kiss.

"inside politics," the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. thank you for sharing your sunday morning. with us is a leak ka henderson, john martin, lisa and ed o'keefe of the washington post. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu arrives in the united states today, a bit later today, for a remarkable showdown with the president of the united states. close look at the reasons and the stakes in a moment. we begin with the annual conservative revival known as cpac. this year a testing ground for the republicans who want to be your next president. it's positions jeb bush inces incest -- insists are for the best. >> there is no plan to deport people. we should give them a legal

status, work, don't receive government benefits, where they don't break the law, and where they make a contribution to our society. that's what we need to be focused on. as you might have been able to figure out listening to that, to most people in the audience governor bush's position leads to amnesty. this is relatively meaningless, but rand paul wins 26%, scott walker, wisconsin governor, 21, ted cruz at 12, dr. ben carson at 11 and jeb bush at 8. en came jeb came in with a lot fwan and some to lose. >> i saw jeb bush speak earlier last month, state policy luncheon addresses. he was far more comfortable at a hostile address at cpac. i thought he had a pretty confident performance.

he had to sustain and deliver. he knew that all eyes were going to be on him. i think he passed the test. how much does it matter in the long run? not a lot. you know, john had a pretty good point. the best news coming out of this for jeb, he didn't see anything that's going to hurt him long run in either the primary or the general, but it was shrewd on the part of his people to bus in supporters because i think the sound of the boos around him if he had not brought in his people would have been a bigger story coming out of this. you heard and i hope you just played, there were a lot of cheers there. those weren't organic cheers, it was cheer from his supporters. >> one of the questions, could he go into an event like that? how was he going to stand up in the republican debates? he did have energy and passed. >> he definitely passed. what's interesting is the jeb

bush candidacy is going to be a test of where the republican party is. mitt romney, of course, on the immigration issue veered hard to the right to defeat texas senator rick perry in the primary. he couldn't recover from that in the general. he lost latino voters by a huge margin. i think obama won more than 70% of the vote. jeb bush is taking a really different approach. he's going to stick with his position. sure he's saying we have to secure the border first. he's saying this is something the party has to do. the base of his party is willing to elect him and bring him through the primary process despite that is a really interesting test about the future of the republican party and where it's going. >> i thought that immigration moment was his best. most of the people chewing had been bussed in from k street to be there and didn't bother to vote in the straw poll before they left, heads didn't explode. nobody else got up and left. he was telling them something that is true. there is no way that you can physically remove 12 million people from the country. what he's trying to say to republicans, i understand your

frustration. we have to deal with this, that's not the way to deal with it. we have to be a little more practical. we have to come up with real solutions and i think people walking away said it wasn't exactly what i wanted to hear, but at the same time -- >> he showed a bit of a temper snap at a washington post reporter. that won't hurt him with the conservative base. >> i thought overall his demeanor was very good. sometimes i think of him as sort of the al gore of gop politics. >> ouch. >> you feel like he wants to sigh, it's beneath him the things he has to do. i thought he was funny. he was very, very comfortable. as you said in the previous speaches, even in the q and a, he was a bit of dissident. i thought as you said before, shawn hannity, who expected him to treat him with in some ways kid gloves. he gave him some openings and gave him a chance to talk about his opening record in florida. >> most thought this was a solider moment where jeb went in and spoke the truth. he stuck to his guns on common

core and immigration. he definitely sounded different than most of the folks before him who were tossing out big old prime ribs of red meat. he spent time talking about his record as a governor. it's not like he's trying to run as a latter day nelson rockefeller. >> the a ascendant is governor scott walker. >> i want a commander in chief who will do everything in their power to ensure that the threat from radical islamic terrorists do not wash up on american soil. if i can take on 100,000 protesters, i can do the same around the world. >> if i can stand up to 100,000 protestors, he had a recall election, he took on the public employee union. some conservative reporters saying labor union protesters, terrorist, not the same. >> transferring whatever experience they have as

executives of states be they large or small, how can they transfer that to make a convincing case that they should stand next to world leaders on the global stage, and you see him struggling with that. you'll see others struggle with that as well. >> criticize. criticize. he tries to bring it back to his fight with unions. he's on the record. he said this again at a club for growth where he was questioned in private. we're not sure you're up for foreign policy experience. he said the most significant foreign policy decision of his lifetime, most significant foreign policy decision of his lifetime was ronald regan standing up to the air traffic controllers and firing the air traffic controllers. scott walker coming back to a union fight to say that's what scared the soviets. >> because his point is foreign policy isn't so much about whether you studied this stuff, whether you know the difference between glasnost and perestro a perestroika, it's leadership. reagan demonstrated to the country and labor unions that if he said something, he meant it and he was going to do it.

>> one thing clear from cpac is foreign policy is front and center. you had rick perry get up there and he spent the first couple of minutes of his speak speaking about foreign policy. this was a strong economic story. he decided, no, i'm going to talk about being aggressive against isis, and i think it's a difficult situation because we're in a really fast-moving complex foreign policy situation and i think for candidates, you don't want to lay out a strong position and have it look completely different a month from now. >> it gives them a chance to attack hillary clinton, too. >> she was a frequent target as was the president's strategy against isis. what does it tell us about chris christie. chris christie who's been struggli struggling, listen to him here when he responds to if jeb bush is the front-runner. >> the elites in washington who make back room deals decide who the president is going to be, he's the front-runner. if the people of the united states decide to pick the next

president of the united states, look them in the eye, connect with them and run with them, i'll do okay if i run with them. >> jeb bush to chris christie is the candidates of the elites. what do we make of chris christie's performance there and where he is at the moment? >> john, as you know chris christie would love to have the elites in washington on his side. >> right. >> the iga running as an outsider. >> he is recalibrating his message to accommodate the circumstances that he now finds himself in which is much more of an underdog. he came off the campaign last year as chairman of the rga having won all of the governor's races. i think he was looking for that mantle of there's a nefarious back room washington elites, some of their support, and he's not getting much of it. of course, he's now trying to portray them as somehow dictating the terms of this race and himself as a scrappy underdog. pols do what they have to do. it is a strategy of necessity, not preference. >> came in behind donald trump. we say this straw poll doesn't

mean a heck of a lot. he came in behind donald trump. >> that can't be good. >> thank you very much. well put. well put. that can't be good. up next, israeli prime minister's coming to address the congress and the obama white house is furious. first though, maybe we should rename our politicians do the darndest thing to this week in joe biden land. >> every single day joe biden says something that makes my career. >> not just the guy who can tell the best joe biden jokes. by the way, did you hear what joe biden said the other day? never mind. it's too easy. >> i just want you to know that i will not be offended if you don't want to, but i'm going to be in that room if anybody wants to photograph. i would not blame you if you didn't. taking charge of

their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills, and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss, but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes

or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea,

diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. we're reinventing inhow we do business, so businesses can reinvent the world. from pharmaceuticals to 3d prototyping, biotech to clean energy. whether your business is moving, expanding or just getting started... only new york offers you zero taxes for 10 years with startup ny, business incubators that partner companies with universities, and venture capital funding for high growth industries. see how new york can grow your business and create jobs. visit ny.gov/business two weeks later. look, credit karma-- are you talking to websites again? this website says "free credit scores." oh, credit karma! yeah it's actually free. look, you don't have to put in your credit card information. whew! credit karma. really. free.

welcome back. it's important to note that israel and is will remain the closest u.s. ally in the middle east. it's also known that president obama and netanyahu have a frosty relationship. they don't like each other or trust each other. president netanyahu headed to washington for a speech on tuesday. iran is the sticking point. prime minister netanyahu says don't trust the obama administration in these negotiations. he says it's a special relationship, but let's be honest, it's fractured. it's not just iran. this is may 2011. >> we believe the borders of israel and palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps. >> why israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace it cannot go back to the 1967 lines because these lines are indefensible.

>> that was point, counter point in 2011. later that year president sarkozy of france telling president obama i cannot bear netanyahu, he's a liar. president obama, you're fed up with him? i have to deal with him even more than you. obvious exasperation there. as president netanyahu heads to congress. this is susan rice, the president's national security adviser, listen to the language. >> happened over the last several weeks by virtue of the invitation that was issued by the speaker and the acceptance of it by prime minister netanyahu two weeks in advance of his election is that on both sides there has now been injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, i think it's -- it's destructive of the fabric of the relationship. >> destructive of the fabric of the relationship. now normally an israeli prime minister doesn't want to get too much in the face of the american president. it hurts him back home. why is netanyahu willing to do

this? look at this. 62% of the israelis believe the obama administration is medaling in the election. as the president comes to washington. he will address congress. we know the white house doesn't like it. how much head butting are we going to get or will there be an effort to minimize and move on? >> if this past week was any indication, we will see quite a lot of head butting at cpac we were talking about. the republicans brought up israel time and time again as an attack against president obama. we're really in unchartered waters here. the u.s./israeli relationship has survived by being nonpartisan. now you have prime minister netanyahu coming here trying to steer his relationship back on course once he's re-elected, if he is re-elected. that's not so true. i think we'll see a rough patch for the remainder of the two years of the obama administration. >> i came to washington at the end of the reagan administration, secretary of state jim baker had some spats.

even in the george w. bush administration you had a very, very close relationship at the end there was a dust up over settlements you but i have never seen this public, this constant, this personal. >> that's right. we're going to see a foreign leader stand in the halls of congress and essentially denounce an american president. some democrats have said they're going to walk out or not show up, about 30 or so, but most democrats will be there. they, of course, asked for a meeting with netanyahu. he refused. so it is increasingly partisan. i think we'll see, as you said, a playout in 2016 and unprecedented. >> netanyahu says the president's naive in trying to cut a deal with iran. the white house says the israelis have been taking and distorting their briefings on how the negotiations are going. same things aren't true. can you fix that or is this relationship done? between the two leaders, not the two countries. >> the obama/netanyahu

relationship is deeply, deeply fractured. it's hard to see how that's going to change between now and, you know, january 2017 when president obama leaves office. so i'm not sure what else can be done. politically, you know, i think you're going to see some folks on the right trying to take advantage of this with the idea that they can somehow leverage support among jewish voters in 2016. we hear that every four years though and it never happens. so i'm very skeptical of that. most jewish voters in america vote on domestic policy, not israel. >> this is the card speaker boehner wrote. they wanted this to go. any regrets on his part or does he still think this is a benefit for him? >> none at all. at a time when nothing else is going right for him, this has been a unifying force for republicans. they are all in lock step and agreement that this should happen. they are going to welcome him with open arms. vice president biden won't be there so oren hatch as president of the senate will be sitting next to john boehner. it's a total republican embrace

of the israeli prime minister which they feel is a total win-win for them. >> it's confusing on the israeli point of view because most jews in the u.s. are still democrats so to align themselves with republicans, it seems like a very administration calculation that they're making. i wonder how this -- whether this hurts them in the long term. >> most members of congress will get in the room. they passed a one-week extension for the department of homeland security. they'll listen to prime minister netanyahu and maybe they can go back to their day jobs and keep the government open. any optomists? no optomists at the table? >> i think a vote to keep it open for a few more weeks or months. >> temporary. >> it seems like the resolution to all of these challenges in terms of funding the government are a few more weeks, a few more months. short-term path. >> totally kills it. >> anything else. >> kick the can, fix a band aid. everybody sit tight. our reporters share from their notebooks next getting you ahead

let's go around the "inside politics" table for a sneak peek at the political headlines ahead. >> obama tomorrow is set to meet with his police task force. this was of course put together in the wake of ferguson in staten island. the white house has said that they have been surprised by so

many areas of commonality between these activists and law enforcement officials who were on this task force. other people say the gulf is as wide as you might imagine. they'll deliver a report to the president. we know that this is a legacy item for this president. he doesn't want this report to collect dust on the shelf, he said. whether or not it will be a legacy item we'll have to see. that will probably depend on legislation and that seems fairly unlikely. >> keep an eye on that one in the week ahead. jonathan? >> we were in one operative to a top kin for the president called the super pact election. march 1st. not a single candidate has set up an actual campaign committee. they have set up super pacs. this has dramatically changed politics. the donors most coveted are billionaires with a b, they can stroke 7, 8 figure checks in the year of the bundlers who can raise a few hundred thousand dollars is seemingly passe.

look what happened in jackson hole, wyoming. you had top candidates to president go there not knowing entirely who would be in that room except for a handful of big donors. the reason they went there was business when somebody like a paul singer says it's time to come make the pitch, these candidates do not hesitate for a second. they have their top staffers fly to jackson hole. it's a new era. >> someone put their better staffers on the super pacs, too. lisa? >> also on the money front, john, i spent a couple of days last weekend in silicon valley where competition is hot and heavy for those billionaires out there. i was out listening to a speech by hillary clinton before she gave her remarks she made sure to meet with tech executives. she's trying to reach inroads. this time she'll have competition from an unlikely source, rand paul who's opened an office there. he's hoping to tap into the libertarian vein of some of the

silicon valley money. jeb bush has been meeting with tech executives. it's not clear who will capture this new and growing source of wealth for elections supposed to cost over $1 billion on each side. one thing is for sure, we'll see lots of candidates and staffers making trips down the 101. >> the states on the west coast are huge. long before covering politics i was covering federal aid workers. friday night they issued 47 pages of instructions on how to shut down the department. and buried deep in there on page 23 a little note to the 15% of dhs workers who might have been furloughed, you can check your e-mail but you cannot hit reply. you were allowed to check for the status of the furlough but to hit reply or to engage anyone on e-mail might result in severe penalties. so you would get paid after a shutdown but you weren't allowed to check your e-mail.

perhaps a silver lining. >> we may go through this in a week. what's that, an example of your government not at work or your government you better not work, you can only kind of work. i'll close with this. a bit more history on the meaning, if there is one, of the cpac straw poll. there have been 20 of them over the year. we often call them meaningless or relatively meaningless. only 4 of those 20 were won by the man who ultimately became the republican nominee. in all four of those were in the actual election year. never has cpac's winner the year before the presidential election, like this year, gone on to win the nomination. so rand paul best not start measuring the white house drapes, but he has won three times now. that puts him in special company. a tie with ronald regan and jack kemp. mitt romney is the all-time cpac leader, four wins. winning is meaningless if you win more than once. reagan, kemp, romney have better resumes. rand paul and his father ron have two cpac wins who did not

ind up on a ticket. as the nominee or as in jack kemp's case, the vp pick. rand paul heading into 2016 hopes to get a little separation from dad. that's it for "inside politics." thanks for sharing your sunday morning. we'll see you soon. "state of the union" starts right now. drum beats of a coup at the u.s. capitol as a political firestorm rages around the israeli prime minister's speech to congress. this is "state of the union." house speaker john boehner's job could be in jeopardy. senator dianne feinstein and former israeli ambassador michael oren on the ripping causing speech to congress. i'm dman bash. chaos in congress. most of you are so unfortunately used to hearing that you're probably rolling your eyes right about now, but the drama i tc
