guard, r.j. >> as a coach, best time of my life. but as a father, whew. i love this kid, man. >> i love you. >> a lot of people loving him today, too. thank you so much for starting your morning with us. >> "inside politics" with john king starts right now. he's the new comeback kid of global politics. >> let's go in. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he's ready to work with president obama but the white house hardly sounds ready to forgive and forget. >> that cynical election day tactic was a pretty transparent effort to marginalize arab/israeli citizens. plus, hillary clinton says those who won't compromise have no place in politics.

>> from my perspective you can't do enough of the relationship building. >> guess who agrees? >> i'm excited about trying to change the political climate a little bit by having a different approach. >> do they have the qualities you want in the next president? ichb si "inside politics," the best stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. thanks for sharing your sunday morning this first weekend of spring. with us to share their reporting and insights, julie pace, npr steve insky, jackie kucinich and robert costa. you remember the netanyahu speech to congress saying president obama should not be us trusted to negotiate a deal. and then the netanyahu statement delivered at a jewish settlement that a vote to re-elect him was a vote to make sure there was no palestinian state.

he warned his supporters that they better turn out because arabs were voting in droves. to the first african-american president, that was playing the race card. >> we indicated that that kind of rhetoric was contrary to what is the best of israel's positions. although israel was found the based on the historic jewish homeland and the need to have a jewish homeland, israeli democracy has been premised on everybody in the country being treated equally and fairly. >> now what? can they set their deep personal and policy differences aside, forge a new chapter, or are we in for a deep freeze and a palestinian shift over the final 22 months of the palestinian president. >> steve inski, he told them the

arabs are voting in droves. the president found that racist. congressman netanyahu told you, oh, no, i'm misunderstood. >> i was talking about the mobilization of specific communities for specific parties. bizarre lines of islamists and israeli forces who are trying to topple my government. i wasn't trying to block anyone from voting, i was trying to mobilize my own forces. arab money, a lot of foreign money coming in. >> there is so much in that, john. first, he's denying something that he wasn't trying to do. he wasn't trying to suppress the arab world. 20% is arab but he was motivating his supporters. he was effectively saying, the arabs are coming, the arabs are

coming, you better come and outvote the arabs. by raising the spec tore of islamists, there is an islamist party, it's not an untrue charge. he's saying is there a fifth column inside his own country. >> he sounds a little paranoid. >> you could say that. there's a lot of violence. >> the question, julie pace, from the white house perspective, these are two proud, two stubborn guys had didn't get along with. then you have this. what now? the white house in a paper statement, the two leaders did speak, the white house is it not ready to accept the fact that the prime minister said i'm still willing to see if they are willing to know ghosh yatd. president obama spoke to prime

minister netanyahu. you could say to congratulate. he said, hey, buddy, don't let your head swell. >> they were clearly trying to not have a very heartfelt congratulations message for netanyahu there. the issue that has really gotten to the white house over the last week or so is netanyahu's foot prop. this is central to george w. bush's efforts to forge peace. there has always been speculation that netanyahu does not completely believe in palestinian state hood, that his actions don't back it up. he came out and said he no longer believed in statehood. that's the position they're going to hold him to. regardless of what he says, that's what they're going to hold him to. the u.s. may allow some measure of palestinian state hood is an incredible shift.

>> this is a relationship that's the most important in two years. is there personal dysfunction, personal animus between these two leaders now going to set this relationship off the tracks? >> certainly looks like that. right now in the current situation. i think when you talk to the republican field, the 2016 contenders, they'll tell you it is. you'll hear that on the campaign trail and you will hear it in funding appeals. i think we're going to hear more and more of that. it will be ploe jekted by the republicans. >> marco rubio, he's one of several 2016 republican candidates. the president is wrong, prime minister is right. speaker boehner is about to go to israel. he's going over. i bet he gets treated well.

the republicans see the netanyahu win as proof that they should be standing with him. >> this is an historic and tragic state. this is not a republican/democratic issue. if this was a republican, i would be angrier. this is outrageous, irresponsible and dangerous. >> we already new robert costa foreign policy would be the big rule. this will still be in some sort of military confrontation with isis when we get around to it. all of those republicans anticipate they'll be running against the president's former republican of state, hillary clinton. they'll press her to step in. >> you look at what happened and how republicans handle netanyahu's victory. it underscores the hawkish element within the party. >> think about the difference in

opinion that could play out over the next few months and the things that were stated. julie, you noted this. president obama has been for a form of it. there will be the struggle. now you have the question, if the white house were to go ahead as they suggested and allow resolutions that are possible for israel's government to go forward with the united nation sz, that becomes an on going issue. maybe hillary hasn't talked about it yet. she will be forced to. >> that could become a huge global issue as well especially because i'm not here to defend prime minister netanyahu, but at times he does have a legitimate case in saying it. the palestinian government isn't strong enough. will this get pushed for the politics of let's get in netanyahu's face or will it get pushed based on are we ready to

implement it? >> it's very interesting that you mention that, john. i was talking with an historian and writer and he said there's not that much day-to-day in israel over the quest of the pal lest stinians because people agree it is a problem. the kmun it's an issue the community faces on many levels. if you push this, do you have one? >> europeans and other regions of the world are much further along in this idea of other means in the u.s. every time you have a vote in the general assembly in the u.n., 130 countries vote in favor and the u.s. votes against. not just in a u.s. context, but in a geopolitical contest, it appears they could be against a

lot of their allies. >> if the obama administration becomes more aggressive in going after netanyahu and using the u.n. as a means of doing so, this is going to put pressure on secretary clinton. how does the jewish vote go? how do republicans respond? capitalize on it. >> if your' the president of the united states, even if you think you're right, can you force palestinian state hood? can you force an iran negotiation? this is reflective today, tomorrow, next month. fascinating story. new cnn poll exposes a giant hillary clinton weakness. first though, politicians say the darndest things. >> mitt romney on his wardrobe is like evander holifield. >> are you going shirtless? >> i assume so. you don't go in there wearing a

t-shirt. >> this will be fun. >> katie, you have to watch. >> you're a very brave man. 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. meet thsuperpower.ewest energy surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more.

i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me... zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

the 2016 campaign has been underway. things are about to get official. take a look at this calendar. the senate will be on vacation. if you're marco rubio, rand paul or ted cruz, you might think this is a good time to get into the race. rand paul certainly agrees. he will announce his candidacy back home in kentucky on april 7th. as you watch, all of these candidates, some likely to run, some say they won't run, others still thinking about it. if you look at all of this, what are you thinking about? what do you want in 2016? we asked this question in our brand new cnn poll. 6 in 10 americans say the most

important thing in an ideal 2016 candidate is an executive experience. i bet governor bush likes that. governor walker likes that. 4 in 10 say legislative experience would be ideal. then we asked this question here, what about a political background? 6 in 10 say they want it. 4 in 10 say they'd take a look at somebody new. here if you're hillary clinton is a warning sign. 57%, 6 in 10 americans say they want someone who will change most of the policies of the incumbent obama administration. 40% say let's continue most policies. nearly 6 in 10 entered 2016 saying it's time for dramatic change. robert, let me ask you the question. that's the great opening for republicans, to make the case, we are change, we are different. history says after a two-term president almost always we change parties. i assume candidates know that's not enough. >> hillary clinton was

calibrating her message. she's talking about her senate term in a different way. consensus builder, emphasizing relationships. she knows she's from washington and she's trying to re-evaluate how people see her. republicans, they're betting on governors. you hear that someone like bush or walker has the experience from outside of washington but they're going to have a lot of stiff competition from the senators. >> in that poll we ran her horse race against everyone of the leading republicans. rand paul was closest, 11 points behind. march 2015. don't pour any cement. she can be beat. ask president dukakis, president giuliani. she can be beat. i took the rand paul numbers. 11 points behind her. i matched them up with romney versus obama in the last presidential election. hillary clinton runs equal with the president on race, on income, on age in terms of the demographics of the voting electorate. she runs better than him in some areas. 62% of women support hillary

clinton, president obama got 55%. big plus. secretary clinton gets 13% support as opposed to 6%. among independents she gets 53%. obama got 45%. hillary clinton gets 52% in the suburbs, president obama got 48%. when you look demographically she does better than him among some con 12i9 two went, especially blue collar white voters. she holds together most of the obama coalition. she's up on the hill. she has a fortress on the hill. even if they have equal armies, hillary clinton and the represent kachb, they have to go up a hill to take her. >> for republicans, there's two things they have to do, one, knock her on her credentials. another is to quite frankly drive down turnout for people

who were on the obama coalition. she'll focus really hard on not just having an advantage with women and minorities but in maintaining that turnout level that obama had. >> the other thing that struck me, 29% hadn't heard of rand paul. 48% hadn't heard of scott walker. it's easy to think that most of america doesn't know who these people are. they have time to define themselves. >> there is a huge hole to fill in their biography and portfolio. you have to deal with the demographic challenges. the republicans every day going after hillary clinton, we want her e-mails, we want to investigate her. hillary clinton when she makes public statements she knows hold together the obama coalition. she's been tweeting to the senate. listen here, steven. this is the speech to the camp association. the last paid speech. hillary clinton, polarizing figure over the course of her

political career. she says here, who me? >> the red cabin. the blue cabin. have them coming together and actually listen to each other. >> from my perspective you can't do enough of the relationship building. >> even a bit of a dig at president obama there. you can't do enough relationship building. people have knocked him. i don't know that they would agree with him, but trying to get agreement with congress. >> she had good relationships when she was in the senate. when i looked at the interesting useful poll, john, and looked at the horse race numbers that you mentioned, the thing that stuck out most for me is that for republican after republican after republican against hillary they were about the same. rand paul may have been closest, but everybody was around -- hillary was around 55 give or take and the republicans were all around 40 give or take. even ben carson was around there. everybody was about the same. that says to me hill haveary is brand of a particular strength. all the republicans are kind of a generic brand at this point

who are weaker at this moment which doesn't mean they can't take advantage of the fact as you've mentioned in order to pull themselves up. right now i don't think any republican has distinguished themselves which is what you're observing. >> you nailed it. it's early. i think a lot of republicans, we're not paying attention. right now there's scott walker jeb bush dynamic in the early stage of the republican primary. keep an eye on john kasich. marco rubio. a lot of people, a lot of donors like rubio. they think bush or walker could stumble. hispanic vote. it's too early to see how this could play out. there are a lot of lower ranked stars waiting for the moment in the gop. >> they need to recast their brand a bit, whether it's with a new face or during the debates. one of the risks is if they have a series of debates about immigration, same-sex marriage, and the demographic advantage, that's the question mark as we go forward. that's why we watch it. it is early. she's formidable. let's underscore early. up next tomorrow's news today. get you out ahead of the big

let's go around the "inside politics" table and ask our great reporters to take a sneak peek at the political headlines. >> afghan president comes to washington for the first meeting with president obama this week. they're expected to talk about changes with the draw down troops in the next two years. there's one reason why the president is willing to have flexibility with the draw down. he's interested in pulling out all u.s. troops by 2016. that would allow him to make the case at the end of his presidency that he fulfilled the promise to end the war in

afghanistan. the president will announce that perhaps up to 10,000 troops will have to stay in afghanistan next year. as long as he can keep his promise by the end of 2016, this is flexibility he's willing to have. >> they trust this president far more. >> far more. >> steve. >> i'm keeping track of the number of unauthorized migrant children coming across the border. you'll recall at this time last year there was a beginning of a series of stories of a flood of young people coming across the border from central america. the administration responded to that. there are measures to encourage people, not very successfully. trying to encourage people to apply for refuge without leaving honduras or el salvador. now the spring season when it's easier to travel and we'll see if the numbers go up. if they do, we'll have another series of news stories about an issue that's sensitive to solve. >> we'll watch that one. during hillary clinton's cam

camp speech she mentioned behind the scenes their relationship was good. i talked to newt gingrich he said it was pretty good. he thinks she'll be a hard worker and practical. he doesn't think she'll get there because of the clinton global foundation and the foreign money. he's testifying next week. he'll bring up the problem of foreign money in american politics but he stressed it wasn't a hillary clinton issue, this is across the government. >> not a hillary clinton issue, across the government. we'll watch how it played out. we had a nice relationship however. i'm waiting for the however. >> a rough week in some sense for the house republicans. you had the resignation of aaron schock. when i was on capitol hill i got the sense that house speaker john boehner is going to try to take charge in the coming weeks. two pieces of legislation to keep an eye on that he wants to muscle through, one is the republican budget. get it through the house, get it come pro miced. the next is a doc fix bill which

is how medicare reimbursements are done. boehner wants to solve that long term. it looks like he'll have the notes to get it done. >> the doc fix cut a deal with nancy pelosi. >> he did. >> a rare moment of bipartisan. marco rubio continues to be little more of a blip if you look at most of the republican presidential polls. there are a good number of republicans who think he might blink amtd not move on. but here is a statement higher that tells you rubio has every intention of running. his super pac has tapped warn thompkins to take over his super pac that is going to get millions, tens of millions of seed money from norman brandon. i've known warren thompkins for 25 years. he plays tough and he's battle tested. team rubio thinks that sends a message. yes, jeb bush is ahead and scott walker is getting the conservative buzz. they think they are proving they

have a candidate with better skills, that's their case, and he can prove he can put a good battle tested team on the field. that's it for "inside politics." thanks for sharing your sunday morning. we'll see you soon.
