reconcile their differences over dhs financing and immigration policy. before that stop gap compromise was introduced speaker john boehner was pressed by reporters on whether or not the house would take up the senate's clean bill one that would fund the department for the rest of the year and not cause a government shutdown. john boehner's performance, anything but dull. >> i just think it's outrageous that senate democrats are using homeland security funding for blackmail to protect the actions of the president where the president himself said he didn't have the authority to do this. yesterday the white house press secretary said that this is a fight amongst republicans. it is not a fight amongst republicans. all republicans agree that we want to fund the department of homeland security and we want to stop the president's executive actions with regard to

immigration. >> homeland security funding runs out on friday night. are we less safe as a nation. >> if ands and butts were candy and nuts every day would be christmas. >> you going to put it on the floor, kill it vote on it. have you had this discussion? >> when i make a decision i'll let you know. >> i don't even know what that was. i don't even know what i'm looking at. later john boehner told his conference that a three week spending bill would strengthen the republicans fight but the democratic senate leadership said that wouldn't be the case. as we go to tape of harry reid. maybe we don't. he was that dude in those glasses those weird glasses and bruises on his face. we'll get to what he said later on. moving overseas he was known as jihadi john but this morning we now know the identity of the

masked man who appeared in numerous beheading video from the islamic state. nbc's kyra simmons has the latest details on who the man is and how he slipped through the cracks. >> we are a state. >> reporter: his british accents was one of the few clues to his identity in isis propaganda videos only his eyes showing from behind a hood but he was identified. he's mohamed emwazi. mid-20s. college educated. born in kuwait came to the kuwait in 1994. son of a well-to-do family that lives in this middle class london home where police and reporters gathered far from the syrian desert where he was the front man for isis for a string of murders. journalist james foley last august then another journalist. british aid workers. american aid worker. and last month two japanese hostages.

this man knew emwazi in london. >> does that sound like the man that you knew in >> i really don't want to be certain but i can't deny the fact that i do find that there are a number of similarities for sure. >> reporter: the reporter who identified him said he wasn't always violent. >> and he was shy person. very interested devoted to religion devoted to his family. >> reporter: he studied computer programming at london's westminster university leaving in 2009. sources say while in uk he did have connections to extremists in somalia and was known the british security agencies but left britain in 2012 where he joined isis in syria. the daughter of one slain hostage said identifying him was a good step but she wants more. >> i think all the families will feel closure and once there's a

bullet between his eyes. a guy from an upper middle class family that went to college, had a college degree could have had a bright future ahead of him and instead he chose terror. once again, a terrorist that a jobs program would not have helped. let's turn here at home. a man in virginia is being questioned in connection with the islamic state plot that involved three suspects from new york city. we reported that earlier this week. those arrests the latest examples on how isis is using social media to recruit additional fighters. pete williams has that story. >> reporter: in the brooklyn neighborhood where the men charged with supporting isis lived and worked a community leader says he tried to talk one of them out of becoming radicalized. >> we had an argument with the

gentleman about the way he understands islam and the principles. >> reporter: u.s. officials say the brooklyn men were lured by isis propaganda and two of them bought plain tickets to get to syria. intelligence ages say 20,000 people from 90 countries have traveled to syria to fight many to join isis. 180 americans have either gone or tried to. 20 from the u.s. have been stopped in the past year and a half ranging in age from 15 to 63 bp isis now has social media feeds in 23 languages. the director of national intelligence said it's virtually impossible to stop. >> the problem there is their use of the media and so the challenge is how do you take down the internet. >> reporter: france's minister urged google to weed out isis propaganda. some in congress say social

media should have zero tolerance for jihadist propaganda. >> we would never allow isis to take out an ad in "the washington post" to come and kill us. >> reporter: a teenager stopped last may at the airport admitted he was trying to get syria. he pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge and could face up to 15 years in prison. >> pete williams in washington. of course the world has witnessed the evil and savagery of isis regarding absolutely no regard for human life or civilization. but now the terror group is showing little respect to human history. destroying irreplaceable artifacts a lot like the taliban did before 9/11 and they are doing it all across the middle east. nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent richard engel brings us more. >> reporter: add cultural genocide to isis's growing list of crimes. the group which has killed

terrorized and uprooted hundreds of thousands of people in iraq and syria is now destroying their heritage too. we were ordered by our prophet to take down false idols and destroy them said this isis member in a video released by the group which includes music and slow motion sequences then the men go to work. ran sacking mosul's museum and nearby nearby archeaology site. >> see these pieces being smashed like that is heartbreaking. >> reporter: this archeaologist

has worked in and studied the region for 20 years. >> isis is conducting a war on culture and cultural diversity. >> it's unbelievable. now let's go to business and what's possibly the biggest shake up to the internet industry ever fcc approving tough new rules on so-called net neutrality. >> history is being made by a majority of this commission. as we vote for a fast fair and open internet. with that i will call for the yeas and nays. all in favor say aye. >> let's bring in cnbc. we knew it was coming. what's the reaction been like? >> good morning to you. this is either striking a blow for people's democracy or it is pushing capitalism back into the

1930s. not surprisingly the telecom companies are most unhappy about this. at&t came out straightaway and suggested it may even challenge this legislation. i just want to read you some quotes here from at&t. an invitation to revisiting the decision over and over and over. it can be undone quickly by congress or the courts. they are suggesting there's some rule for this rule to be changed. verizon came out it's badly antiquated regulation wholly unnecessary. in one of the more amusing responses, they sent their response back out in morse code. >> bottom line this for all of us, not only in america but across europe and the world that

here net neutrality our eyes glaze over. what does it mean? will the internet be faster or slower? >> the basic point here is it's going to be the same for everyone. obviously, some of the internet service providers want to be able to charge different rates for service. so you get faster speeds if you pay more. and the idea was that you can get companies who disfor people who use the internet more to pay a higher rate. >> sounds like the government says everybody has a car, everybody can drive a characters but it's going dodge dart from 1973 and you can only go 40 miles per hour. >> it's one way of looking at it. the other is to say the internet is so important as a tool for society and improving

productivity and the economy that we shouldn't penalize the small guy the start up who is trying to get a break here who would have to pay a whole lot more to compete with the giants. so there's another way of turning the story around. i just want to give you comcast's reaction. comcast will work for this glorious institution. they have a big role to play. they have a big role to play in this space, of course. comcast coming out and saying we fully embrace the open internet principles that have been laid out. we just don't believe statutory provisions designed for the telephone industry and adopted when franklin d. roosevelt was president should be stretched to govern the 21st century internet. i can see comcast executives are not so happy about this result and you know the bit that they don't like it's technical but effectively it means isps the internet service providers can

be more heavily regulated like telecom companies. sting in the tail for our parent company. hope it doesn't affect our bottom line. >> thank you. still ahead on "way too early" more on the big headlines from cpac. rick perry seizing the moment to go after the republican front runners. scott walk her a great day. had a line or two he would like to take back. let's bring in kasie hunt after the break. get ready for life with frank underwood. leader of the free world. what critics are saying about the third season of "house of cards." that story and a check on the whether "way too early" comes back. >> at mooint tonight eastern

we're barely into 2015 and already the gloves are off and likely republican presidential candidates are hammering each other. yesterday, talking to cpac which is gathering top conservatives scott walker touted his experience as governor handling massive union protests and described it as training to deal which isis. a claim that obviously got criticized fairly quickly. take a look. >> 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.

we will have someone who leads and ultimately will send a message not only we'll protect american soil but do not, do not take this upon freedom loving people anywhere else in the world. we need that leader with that kind of a confidence. if i can take on 100,000 protesters i can do the same across the world. >> obviously today trying to make the connection between isis and unions was a mistake. these are americans. we're talking about people in the case ever isis who are beheading individuals and committing heinous crimes. this is the face of evil. to make the relationship between them and the unions is inappropriate. >> you think it went too far? >> yeah. >> welcome to the bigs. msnbc political correspondent kasie hunt joins us by phone from cpac where rick perry and jeb bush are set to speak on day two. you can go in have a hero's reception, give a speech that

ignites everybody but something slips occupant that's not quite right and that's what everybody is talking about the next day. >> reporter: yeah joe. scott walker is learning that pretty quickly. rick perry was, speaking of comments in the context much his own bid in 2012 where he had to get up there and learn that lesson really fast. i think more broadly one of the most interesting things i've been learning from behind-the-scenes at cpac a lot of the other campaigns and operatives not just perry but other conservative candidates are focused on walker and that can be a good spot in terms of polling and fundraising but a tough place to be because the knives are out four. >> jeb bush speaks at 1:30. that will be watched by the national media and a lot of people inside that auditorium. what are we expecting from jeb? >> reporter: everyone around jeb bush has been pretty protective. got a lot of feedback. if you make any comments or reporting on what this will look

like for him. i think there are a lot of land mines for him potentially. i think that at this point success looks like getting through it without encountering a major problem. for bush everybody expects to see something along the lines of claiming less conservatism than walker did. >> he's in the same position that john mccain found himself in 2008. kasie hunt, thank you so much. we greatly appreciate it. we'll be talking to her later on in "morning joe." let's get a check on the weather with bill karins. minus 8, minus 2, minus 1. come on. let's turn that ground upside down. >> we had one of the coldest februarys on record. let's end it. >> we had a cold horrible winter last year. everybody said last year was the warmest. come on. at some point -- >> you know what's crazy --

>> it hasn't been this cold in the united states since at least '78. >> in the east. the west has been boiling. >> come on the east is all that matters, right >> i've heard that rumor before. so it's cold. we know that. we know it's cold. next storm is already on its way. winter weather advisories out there in the carolinas. next storm starts out in the rockies. this one today could bring light snow to dallas again. snow in dallas in late february is very rare and then spread this weekend. as far as snow totals could go north texas the next two days. then saturday into sunday we bring it across the ohio valley. then into the northeast. some areas could get enough to have to shovel and plow. that's how we'll welcome march in. come monday morning, a lot of us will be shoveling. >> thank you so much. coming up the daughter of robin williams opening up about her sudden lost and how she deals

we're back with an nbc news exclusive. last august obviously the world lost a bit of its sense of humor when ironic comedian and actor robin rms tookwilliams took his own

life. his 25-year-old daughter opens up about the life of her dad. here's kate snow. >> it gets a lot of attention. >> reporter: after her father's death zelda williams tattooed a hummingbird on her hand. >> it's hard to keep them in one place. dad was a bit like that. keeping the conversation in one moment was point with him. for me it was a reminder i wanted. >> reporter: i lost somebody to suicide too so i know that there's often that sort of why did this happen question. >> i don't think there's a point. >> reporter: because you'll never know. >> it's not important to ask because it's done. >> reporter: that seems to me like what all the people who knew your dad as a fan, all the

people who loved him and his work, when it happened everybody wanted to know why. how could this happen. >> diseases until we find out exactly how they work we don't have an explanation. a lot of people who been through it and lost someone and those who went on to lead very full lives found that they just had to know that there's no point questioning it and there's no point blaming anyone else for it there's no point in blaming yourself or the world or whatever the case may be because it happened so you have to continue to move and you have to continue to live and manage. >> reporter: on friday in los angeles zelda williams will present a noble award to a group that robin williams worked with for years, prosthetics for veterans. >> that's what his favorite

thing other than comedy was. >> reporter: zelda wants to carry on her father's charitable work. she knows she's not the only one who misses her father and everyone has a favorite memory. >> the world as i said keeps spinning but doesn't mean he was never on it. >> i don't have my favorite memory with robin williams because there were so many great memories. great guy. we miss him. let's turn to something a bit happier. a big television event, big media event. i was going to say this weekend but i guess now. >> this morning. today is the day for "house of cards" fans and netflix series season three began streaming this morning and the question on everyone's mind what will president frank underwood do next. the early reviews have been mixed. "new york times" headline "house of cards" season three more policy than chicanri.
