and thank you our viewers for getting up way too early with us on this tuesday morning. morning joe starts right now. this is a tough business to run for president. you re a tough guy, jeb i know. we need a president i m at 42, you re at 3, so far i m doing better. doesn t matter. so far i m doing better. one of the many times donald trump insulted jeb bush. jeb s son however cast his lot with the former president in a bid for texas attorney general. texas is precious and we must protect her. under the leadership of president trump our country was strong and vibrant again. so how did trump return the favor? by endorsing george p. bush s republican rival. you know, we we ve been trying to tell people for about
president george h.w. bush 41 wanted to take a smooul smooul small group of us around for a tour. mrs. bush was there and i see the idea of taking reporters around for a tour was not what she had in mind. that enforcer quality whereas president bush 41 was in a mood to show off their family estate there at walker point which is such a treasured part of the family history. more recently i saw her whether he she was in new hampshire a little over a year ago with jeb bush at a type when his campaign was flagging. you remember the history where after having a husband and a son in the white house, she publicly expressed concerns about another bush running, another american family maybe their time. she did come out for jeb bush. that was a night where he talked about any mistakes had he made were his own, not his mother s. it was a time when new hampshire voters were called back to past
donald trump spent months beak calling her son jeb a simplering dufus over and over and over again. and a lot of that was animated by a certain kind you have anti-dynastic feel among the republican base. sure, no, that s absolutely true. listen, i admit to taking jeb bush s side of that argument and not donald trump s. the bush legacy is one of rich experience and qualifications, frankly that contrast existed between donald trump and hillary clinton, as well. the bush family and the clones each brought rich government experience that as we saw in the last election was largely rejected because of this nativist tribal populism that donald trump has sold. listen, there are many reasons to condemn donald trump s populism. it is worth taking a pause to celebrate barbara bush personally for her contribution to our nation. senator boxer, how do you
and feelings and strivings of more ordinary americans than what the patrician elder bush family had been used to and even in her own upraising. that was certainly what gave them the ability to embrace american culture, the american west in a way they never would have been. if she had not been willing to move 27 times in 73 years of marriage whether it was going to china as envoy before we had diplomatic relations with china to the cia as well as to the united nations when he was the ambassador there. then watching her son become president and then watching of course, the disappointments politically of her son jeb and now campaigning, as well in recent years for george p bush. jeb s son. so many generations of bushes owe her so much. the love, loyalty. and the fierce pride she had and devotion to her family. i want you to stay with us if that s all right.
campaigns for the other george bushes and then trying to translate that you to jeb bush. we know where that went. on that night, she was a mother try to help her son. we also saw her helping georp. . when you look at the mef contributions, she was in some ways a traditional first lady and the backbone of a family that had so much success. the country will come here to houston to remember her. still ahead, a lot of news to bring you after this break. former attorney eric holder joins me on set in just two minutes. but we make more than our name suggests. we re an organic tea company. a premium juice company. a coconut water company. we ve got drinks for long days. for birthdays. for turning over new leaves. and we make them for every moment in every corner of the country.
