the very existence of his country and that is what is driving this decision to come here and address congress. and foreign dignitaries have done this before. this is not unprecedented in any way and we have to remember, like the questioner said, the enemy is iran not israel. and those people making a show of boycotting the speech are giving comfort to the enemy in a sense. congresswoman harman, you are a big long-term supporter of israel and do you have any problem with the inviting and accepting of the speech. giving comfort to the enemy is strong and i don t agree with that at all. and i think democrats in congress love israel too. but our relationship with israel depends on a strong bipartisan relationship. having said that if i were a member of congress now i would attend the speech but i think the timing and the process of setting up the speech was poor. and that netanyahu would have been advantaged if he had decided in the last month or so
allies are at each others throws an the only person sitting back and watching this very happy about all of this division is iran. and at some point this process got out of control and started generating conflict and division among the u.s. and its allies. and france is not terribly happy about the way this negotiation is going. so at some point president obama is going to have to start moving in the direction of pulling all of his people back together lest the deal fall apart and we get nothing out of it on the nuclear side and iran divides it. i think president obama is uncomfortable with that role. and that is a problem. he s uncomfortable being the leader of the free world and it has our allies and our enemies worried. it is not just iran. netanyahu notices it which is

stand-off continues. i m just saying to the speaker, get a grip. get a grip mr. speaker. can the republican-led congress overcome the early fumbles. we ll ask the house majority whip steve scalise. plus with some democrats boycotting netanyahu s speech to congress, has the support to is real become a political football. our group weighs in? and the power player of the week. opera singer renee fleming puts me to the test. i would challenge you to increase that. hello again from fox news in washington. we begin with breaking news. the top contenders for the republican presidential nomination spoke to the conservative political action conference or cpac this week. afterwards they held a straw
