5:30 am
rick perry sets his sights on the white house and redemption. >> we get back up, we dust ourselves off and we move forward. >> jeb bush ready to run, too. >> my intention is to run on my record and my ideas and run to try to win the presidency. >> it's a crowded republican field with no clear frontrunner,
5:31 am
but plenty of feisty players. >> i have more experience with our national security than any other candidate in this race. that includes you, hillary. >> plus, hillary clinton courts african-americans for a call for automatic voter registration. >> all these problems with voting just didn't happen by accident. >> lincoln chafee joins with a sharp attack. >> it's incredible, that the integrity that the office of secretary of state never be qualified. >> inside politics the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics," i am john king. joining us is our guests.
5:32 am
rick perry wants a second chance. >> this will be a show me don't tell me election where voters look past the rhetoric to the real record. >> now, if they do, if they do look at the record, perry thinks he has a strong case with the fact that texas led the nation in job creation, and first wondering if they will be forgiving of this debacle. >> i would do with education, and the -- commerce, and -- let's see, i can't -- the third one i can't, sorry. oops. >> oops, and every time we watch it, it gets a laugh out of us. and that's the problem, the american people are forgiving, and ronald reagan lost and then became president. if you are looking at perry, you
5:33 am
might be impressed with the record but in the back of your mind are you worried another debate debalkable like that against hillary clinton could cost the republicans the white house. >> and what i have seen half over and over again, rick perry goes to another cattle calls and gives an incredible speech and the man is very good and then nobody votes for them in the straw poll because there's nothing he can do to convince them something like that is not foeing to happen. >> he was six weeks removed from back surgery, and his wife said this week to cnn, i take the blame and i am a nurse and should have told him he was not ready. i describe rick perry, crowded republican field and he is the one guy that can go to the chamber of commerce on one side and evangelicals and extend a
5:34 am
hand and say nice to see you. >> all of the strength republicans thought rick perry had go into the 2012 campaign, he still has. i was in iowa last month and you talk to voters there, and people are talking about rick perry. a lot of them may not end up voting for him but he is spending a lot of time in the state and he is a good retail politician. he really came out of the campaign being the laughingstock, and he feels like he is a serious politician with skill. >> he has been preparing for it every since he dropped out. he jumped into -- in 2011 he jumped in at the end and thought it would be easy, and he has been preparing every since. and he picked up a interesting endorsement, a sioux city popular talk show host, and i don't count him out at all, and the indictment is another matter. >> he has a indictment against
5:35 am
him in the state of texas that could put him in a courtroom and not a town hall. put up the field. we have 15 and maybe 16 republican candidates and maybe more, and you look at the names and let's try to divide them. eight governors or former governors in the field. rick perry one of them, and five centers in the middle, and three others, and the donald is still there, and we will stop there. that's the interesting thing, you can't count them out. in the race where there is no frontrunner, he has relationships in iowa and that can matter, and we don't have a clue today. >> you don't. after this week, after the last ten days with polling, it showed the whole field is scattered and there is nothing stopping these guys, and no disintentative to running or losing at this point. >> another person about to get in is john kasich. he said, you know, i was
5:36 am
thinking probably not, but -- >> i didn't think i was going to be back up here again because frankly i thought that jeb was going to suck all the air out of the room, and it just hasn't happen. no hit on jeb. no hit on you, jeb. >> that's a hit on you, jeb. but kasich tried it in 1999, and w., george w. bush did suck all the air out of the room and he said there is no place for me. >> and if i remember right, he got out in '99. he is right. it's wide open. he was making that comment in new hampshire, and that was a hit on jeb, just reminding people, you don't have to be with him, so i think his record as the governor of ohio is very, very strong, and he is presided over some good years or so, and if he runs, which sounds like he is close to, he is a strong candidate. >> and the house budget chairman committee here, he has strong
5:37 am
credentials and you have to run and prove yourself. and lindsay graham got into the race this week. he says his calling card is national security, and he is the one man that can be commander in chief on day one. and marco rubio, he says i have foreign policy credentials. and somebody help me tpeufigures one out. >> the immediate responsible we have is to help build the functional government to meet the needs of the people in the short and long term and you -- >> that sounds like nation building? >> it's not nation building, we are assisting them in building their nation. the alternative to doing that is the chaos. >> that sounds like nation building, and perfectly logical, and that's not nation building, we are assisting them in nation
5:38 am
building. >> there is a difference between assisting and doing the building yourself and the difference between boots on the ground and sending troops and helping them build their own army would be a similar distinction, and it sounds weird and even though as rubio articulated forceful positions on national security he has been criticized for being vague and not being able to be specific, and i think particularly with his youth and relative inexperience in the senate, he has a higher bar to clear to prove that he knows what he is talking about. >> this will be a breakdown as we move towards the debate season. up next, hillary clinton talks voting rights. first, though, sit tight, a double-header for politicians say and do the darnedest things. chris christie suits up and takes a swing in a charity softball game.
5:39 am
now, two for the price of one moment, from bill and hillary clinton. >> there is an old saying where i come from where you find a turtle on the fence post and chances are it did not get there by accident. >> of course i learned it from him, you find a turtle on a fence post and it did not get there on its own. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder... ...whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's... ...one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni.
5:40 am
with harvoni, there's no interferon and there are no complex regimens. tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems, or other medical conditions. and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. harvoni should not be taken with any medicines containing amiodarone, rifampin, or st. john's wort. it also should not be taken with any other medicine that contains sovaldi. side effects may include tiredness and headache. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you.

governor perry is hardly alone in his crusade against voting rights. in wisconsin, governor scott walker cut back early voting. in new jersey, governor chris christie vetoed legislation to extend early voting, and in florida when jeb bush was governor state authorities conducted a deeply flawed purge of voters before the presidential election in 2000. welcome back. hillary clinton naming names. that was thursday. she picked a big policy fight over voting rights with some of the republicans that happened to be running for president also. if you look at the latest national poll, how does hillary clinton run against the top republicans, one plus three plus three, and you have to call that a dead heat, and beats bush by
5:45 am
eight points at the moment. the top priority, keeping this together. the obama coalition, 55% of women, and then 78% of nonwhite voters, and that's how obama won the presidency twice. how does hillary clinton match up. she keeps the obama coalition together and keeps it together here, and out performs the president a little here, and she is running below the president's numbers for latinos, and am i cynical to ask the question, was she in south carolina courting the nonwhite voters. the cynics might say she knows the numbers and is trying to move them up. >> she knows the numbers. everything she has done so far is something that touches
5:46 am
importantly to the coalition. started with nevada, and she knows she has to energize particularly the nonwhite voters. it's going to be a very difficult exercise. the margins are the question here. that's something she has to do. of course she believes in all these things, and she has been talking about this for a long time and that's what she is up to. the surprising thing to me is in '07-'08, her adviser at the time was so worried about upsetting the white voters they were walking the line, and that argument is over and they are doubling down on the obama coalition. >> she has the obama team helping her out on the strategy. let's look at the politics behind the policy or policy behind the paulics, and she says it should be much easier for people to go online and register to vote, and there should be more earlier voting before elections. and look at the screen on there and tell me why anybody would
5:47 am
oppose these things. republicans say it's security concerns, and in terms of expanding voting rights, what is the argument against it as long as you have the safety checks? >> this is why it's a smart political skwr political strategy for her, and it puts republicans to have to argue steps to have the civic duty to vote. anytime they make it they walk the lines that are just awkward. >> voter id laws are very popular, and they have been done in 30 odd states mostly by republicans and not always, and those do poll well, and what hillary has done well is to say we are not against the voter id laws, it's to say we are in favor of an affirmative right to vote, and making it a robust right to access. >> in ohio, 2012, the strong and
5:48 am
record-shattering turnout of black voters, and i was there in the columbus area, there was tens of thousands of people brought to the shopping plaza to vote. you could probably find five republicans in the crowd. she needs to shore up the group of voters right now, because the fight is going to be in the suburbs of washington, d.c. or suburbs of cincinnati or cleveland where white voters don't live. if she can get that out of the way, she will be fine. if you have marco rubio or jeb bush on a ticket, there's a real concern hispanic voters will look more seriously at them, and she doesn't have culturally anything to show them besides the voter registration. >> 42% of americans think hillary clinton is honest is trustworthy, and that's down from 56% in march of 2014, and among democrats, 73% say she is honest and trustworthy and it
5:49 am
used to be 88. lincoln chafee is questioning her tenure as secretary of state, and my question is, the point is barely dried on his "d," and will democratic voters listen to him. when republican voters attack her, but will democrats listen to lincoln chafee? >> no, and i don't think he is somebody that has a large constituency or in the state of rhode island where he was unpopular by the time he left office. he is a marginal voice -- although he did get the metric system diehards excited. i don't think he is a serious threat. when you talk about the liberal
5:50 am
policy positions hillary is staking out, she is not running like she has any opponent but running like she is in the primary. she is focussed on winning over the base. she didn't have a very strong challenge, and i think they have been gladdened but would like to know more about her economics. >> i think we saw republicans for months have been using her to kind of boost themselves. we saw it for the first time this week that she is going to try and use republicans to boost her candidacy as well, and republicans want to see people going after jeb bush and the recall. >> if you look at the poll you guys put out this week, this is the lowest poll she has reached in cnn polling at least, since march 2007. what i found most interesting if you dive into the numbers, voters don't think the whole
5:51 am
e-mail dilemma will show any wrongdoing, and it's feeding a perception that she feels she is above everybody else and an untouchable political figure. she has got to overcome that somehow. >> one of the most fascinating numbers in the polls and others, does she all care about me? that was the death for mitt romney, and her whole campaign going forward against republicans is going to be based on the idea that they don't care about people like you, and they are aimed at protecting a small segment of the population. in order to make that argument effectively she will have to boost the way people feel about her and her empathy forwards them. >> i don't think she is. that's why she is running so aggressively on policy and can't run on character, and she is saying it's the republicans
5:52 am
policies. >> excellent closer there. up next, the reporters share from their notebooks and gives you a sneak peek of what is coming up, including president obama gearing up for a potentially uncomfortable road trip. a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive?

5:56 am
let's head around the table and ask our reporters to share a little bit from their notebooks. >> president obama is overseas at the g7 meeting and will face questions about the trade debate on capitol hill. leaders want to know if he has votes from his own party, and all the leaders have a stake in
5:57 am
what is next in line. they are looking at the vote on the hill and the support of democrats of a sign whether obama has the juice to pass his priorities or if they are dealing with a lame duck american president. jeb bush headed out to europe ahead of the official announcement, and barbara bush's 90th birthday and a lobster lunch for the entire family, and he was thrup this past week talking to locals and getting excited and aware of the fact that a third bush campaign is coming so a third wave of political tourism coming their way, and they are building a large cottage for him and he is probably headed back july 9th and 10th for a fund-raising retreat, and i think we should talk to management to take a trip there.
5:58 am
>> jim webb, the democratic u.s. senator from virginia is starting to make some noise. he is going to be in iowa next weekend and he says he is going to make up his mind whether to announce soon, and would be the fifth democrat in the field. unclear what kind of a path he might have, but he is going to -- he's got a background in senate security, secretary of the navy, and can criticize clinton's record in the state department, and also thinks he can appeal to the white working class southern vote. >> great to see him in the race. >> the big first rally of the clinton campaign is coming next weekend, and then going to iowa. the clinton campaign is trying to lower expectations for iowa. they said no sitting president or vice president -- nobody other than a sitting president or vice president has gotten over 50%. i think hillary clinton pretty much equates to al gore in terms of name recognition and other things, and i am struck by how
5:59 am
they are already lowering expectations because perhaps bernie sanders is attracting attention there early on. we will see how she does. >> maybe she should try earth tones. a big campaign in weekend in iowa gets in depth coverage on "state of the union." after a very busy week, four presidential candidates a day in new hampshire on average, just okay, not great. and flat were used to describe the state of the jeb bush campaign, and better than outside folks thinks is what somebody described chris christie's standing at the moment, and john kasich is becoming relevant in the conversation, and there's early buzz, the people who helped mitt romney and john mccain could splinter opportunities. at this very early moment, scott walker is viewed as the best position to do that.
6:00 am
it's just june, but with such a crowded field keeping track of the chest match is interesting. we will see you soon. "state of the union" starts right now. harley, a pig roast and politics. republican white house hopefuls swarm iowa as a crowded gop field gets even bigger. this is a special "state of the union." good morning. i am dana bash live from iowa where several of the republican presidential candidates turned out this sunday for joni ernst' inaugural roast and ride. we have rick perry and lindsay graham, and colorful moments. the former iowa senator, tom harkin, hosted his famousak
