by basically constantly saying here are the things that i believe, people will stop talking about his relationship to his father and his brother. and he's just got to hope to change the conversation. but as george w. bush put it the problem here is that it gives an easy reason for people to classify him and stop listening and what jeb bush is trying to do is get people to listen. >> there's a dynamic because not only do you have the bush dynasty but the clinton dynasty. how do both of those candidates escape trying to be their own person. >> and also making campaign about the future not the past. >> that's right. and we saw marco rubio talking about those stuck in the past. talking about jeb bush and hillary clinton. they boejts have a similar problem. what they both hope and perhaps this is a little wishful thinking is that they can kind of use the caricature about them to shock people into taking a

second look. in other words if they hear something, voters might think, hu, i huh, i had a misimpression about them. voters can stop listening to them and listen to some other kind of candidate. >> you were listening to hillary in iowa. what was her message and how did voters receive it? >> it was sort of like an arranged marriage where the new couple goes down for their first meeting and the entire village comes to watch. so she had some interactions with voters but there was this gargantuan press throng around her. voters are seeing lots of piers of these readings but particularly in iowa, it's going to be lots and lots of visits before they get a find view of her. >> thank you so much. erin hernandez will get an automatic appeal for his

conviction. don dahler is in fall river massachusetts, where the jury is suggesting the defense helped seal hernandez's fate. don, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. aaron hernandez went from star tight end with the new england patriots with a $40 million contract, a fiancee, and a new baby to convicted murder from a life to be envies due to a life in prison due in some measure to his defense team's strategy. >> guilty of murder in the first degree. >> reporter: aaron hernandez stood stoically as his verdict was read. his mother sat behind him while trying to consol his fiancee. he was seen walking outside a nightclub with odin lloyd two nights before the murder. surveillance video from the defendant's home showed him

holding what prosecutors said was a gun. >> do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god? >> yes. >> reporter: but it may have been the testimony of patriots owner robert kraft. >> he said he hoped the event came out because he was in the club. >> reporter: they seized on the all al buy saying he was in the club at the time the murder happened but the time of death had not been made public. the jury held a press conference at times laughing at the reporters' questions. they said the fact that he was present at the scene of the crime made their decision crystal clear. >> we were all surprised. >> reporter: the judge sentenced hernandez to life in prison

without parole. hernandez said mouthing the words, you're wrong. >> i just came from church and my son saw me and he said mother you look so beautiful. i love those colors on you. those were the last words from my son. >> his odyssey isn't over yet. he's actually been charged with a double murder that happened in boston in 2012. the district attorney hasn't said when that trial will start but it's safe to assume his calendar is wide open. >> thank you. serious questions about a tulsa deputy. sources tell the tulsa world newspaper that supervisors at the sheriff's office were ordered to authorize changes. the paper says at least three of bates' supervisors were transferred after refusing to sign off on training he never took.

it slows the heart down as much as 15 points. the reason this is nice is the other drugs, the standard ones we have for heart failure, in addition to slowing the heart rate, it drops the blood pressure. so it's meant to essentially be added to the regimen, not to replace it. >> do you think there are any side effects to this? >> certainly there are side effects studies have shone. they're low. first is break card ya and defibrillation irregular heart rate and heart failure. >> will you prescribe it? >> absolutely. it can decrease a chance for a heart attack by 18%. this costs our country $30 billion a year multiple admissions to the hospital over the course of the year and it's quality of life. anything that will prevent them from having to do.

>> kwhie does it take ten years? >> it's a complicated disorder unfortunately that activates a lot of systems in the body. it is a problem. there are new drugs in the pipeline. there's one that may come out in the summer that works differently but also has been shown to increase the risk of rehospitalization. >> it's available now? >> no. this drug was just approved. i'd have to ask amgen. >> dr. tara narula. thank you. a military chopper surprised beachgoers. even kenny loggins was surprised. no one was hurt. a number of onlookers looked.

kenny loggins was one of them. he posted a picture saying he walked right into the danger zone. that's a reference to his 1986 hit from "top gun. >> >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by toyota. let's go places.
