about your dad, do you get hurt, do you get angry, what? yeah, i do. i don t like it. i got i m involved pretty actively in politics, so i should know better. but it s hard to sublimate, you know, your personal convictions we would all jump on a hand grenade for our father, if one was there. so it s kind of hard for us to sit back and say, oh, that s no big deal. it does bother us. or a mouth breather. a mouth breather! well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. allergy medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more. so you can breathe and sleep. add breathe right to your allergy medicine. shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right and look for the calming scent of breathe right lavender in the sleep aisle.
john kasich served the house for nine terms. and his reputation was essentially that he was the guy who didn t give a rip, you know, that he loved bare knuckle politics. he loved being the guy who aggravated everybody, who ruffled feathers on both sides of the aisle. i want things to cost they say they re going to cost and i want them work the way they say they re going to work. and if they re not going to provide it for us, i ll scream and shout and ask why. the senate will not give final approval to the bill to keep the government until some time monday, just hours before a government shutdown would begin. leaving clinton but two options. sign the bill or shut down the government. some republicans were ready for a showdown. look, we re in the movie high noon, okay? we re sitting in the saloon, we got a bottle of whiskey and a shot glass. we re going to take a shot and we ll walk out into the dusty street and have a fight about the american dream. i believe that the presiden
his brother, jeb, though, here s the question that jeb got during that same interview. jeb, you re gop county chairman in florida, right, dade county. are you looking to a career in politics? is that your future lies? long-range ambitions. if i can get about half the income that you make, but until i attain that? i would do this for free, are you kidding? george w. bush, nothing to say about big national issues, aisle just worried about raising my family. but jeb, you re looking at a career in politics, aren t you? the 1980s were jeb bush s introduction to national politics. he did, of course, go on to become florida s governor and then he went on to make a ton of money afterwards, as he alluded to wanting to do in that interview, but at that start, it was in the 1980s that really set up jeb bush s life, that first set the gears in motion for his own run for president today. when you hear the kind of things that were being said
that day, the nerves go to the knees, and it must be comforting to remember that you are the candidate s son, not the candidate. and if dad loses, nobody will blame jeb. except perhaps jeb. linda ellerbe, nbc news, puerto rico. linda ellerbe is such a god. always has been. but that tape, jeb bush s knees literally knocking. his knees shaking, as he stood before that crowd in puerto rico. that was february 1980. but all of jeb s very nervous campaigning down there did pay off. poppy bush won the puerto rico republican primary that year with 59% of the vote, he won all 14 of puerto rico s delegates. and coming off his win in the iowa caucuses that year, poppy bush had real momentum. that presidential campaign, that 1980 campaign for his dad, that really was jeb bush s first foray into national politics.
1990. part of what makes old tape so much fun in politics is that you get to imagine the people back then, the people in that old tape. you get to imagine them as holders of high elected office now. do they carry the same sensibilities forward in to the present? would they carry the same sensibilities in to the future, if say they were elected president of the united states? we get to consider, for example, a state of the union address with laser lights, right? why not? mr. speaker, president of the united states! out of the laser lights is president trump, you guys, ready to address the nation. ready to tell those minor league saps in congress how it s going to be. president trump. the republican field, republican presidential field this dwreer was supposed to be led by governors and senators.
