days ago they suspected governor bush will run. ell tell clue, they reported jeb bush lost 15 pounds that tipped the scales for that paper. now the miami herald can pull its reporter off the weight beat and put him on the race for 2016 beat. as we all look at governor bush for 2016. how about we give him a fresh and fair look. that means no special advantages for ache bush. his family is not running. this is about jeb bush and likewise, we should not penalize governor bush because is he a bush. his family is not running. this is about jeb bush. so, as we cover 2016, let's in the media be smart. report about what matters. be fair and may the best man or woman win. and that's my off-the-report comment toned. thank you for being with us. we will see you again tomorrow night right here at 7:00 p.m. eastern. if you can't watch live, use your dvr. also check out new podcast, greta talk. go subscribe on itunes, tune in, or stenture and it's free. right now go to gretawire.com and answer this question does president obamas have the right st

guest is the chairman of the american conservative union and he has been friends with former governor jeb bushor decades. good evening, sir. >> greta, good to be with you. >> i noticed you've told us about the fact that governor jeb bush might run for president. you said you have mixed feelings and you go on to say but he'll be a difference maker. what did you mean by that? >> a difference maker meaning, look, we live in an area of gridlock, less people turn out to vote than they ever did before. more people are registering no party affiliation. folks don't seem to be happy with either party. so jeb bush, who's a conservative problem solver, is coming and saying, look, it's time we get together, we heal our nation, we move forward witt things to do. we've got energy policy to put together. we've got tax reform. we've got to balance our budget. we've got to deal with our entitlements. i'm going to be the candidate with ideas. i'm not going to go out there with a strategist telling me precisely how to win. i'm going to share my vision and i hope the american people buy into it. i hope they do. i

specifically jeb bush, raising his hand ever so slightly for 2016. the former florida governor and the son and brother of two president bushs announced on facebook he'll actively explore running for president himself. that statement follows a quip jeb made monday during a commencement speech at the university of south carolina. >> people often model their lives on their parents. their parents went to college. so do they. if your parents worked in politics, well, you know the rest. >> msnbc political correspondent casey hunt has the latest from our d.c. news room. casey, this is not an exploratory or anything formal, but how serious do people in washington think jeb might be? >> people are taking this very seriously, joy. especially to put something out this early, at this stage in the game, be basically the first guy out of the gate says a lot about what governor bush's intentions are. it's also going to do a lot to shape the field of potential republican contenders. now, you've had some of them already start to come out and make comments about governor bush's announcement. you

. >> thank you, governor bush, for your thoughts. trend lines, governor bush, just to go back to the point you touched on, trend lines today seem to suggest a time of extraordinary opportunities across all vectors of human enterprise. headlines suggest one of conflict. i think as you point out american leadership is going to be pivotal to whether through cooperation we are able to capitalize on the trendlines or whether we will give way or succumb to the headlines -- one of conflict. question or rather i would be interested in your thoughts on can american leadership rise to that occasion? >> absolutely we can. i mean we have done it time and time again. i think the key to this to make a -- you know, to get to a point where foreign policy where america's leadership in the world is accepted by a great majority of americans is that we are growing economically here first. i mean if you ask the former head of the joint chiefs of staff or the current one what the great threat for america is, they would say the budget deficit and the lack

this represents a next phase of governor bush's consideration process but the other point you brought up that is so significant here is the money. a lot of big donors i talked to and bundlers saying they will not make any commitments. they will wait until jeb bush make as decision. does this buy him another couple months here in order to try to line up folks? or at some point are they going to say all right, either make the decision to be in or out and we're going to raise money for somebody else? >> that is likely part of what is going on here. at least admitting publicly, officially he is thinking about it, he is officially thinking about it, that tells donors, wait. that also takes it beyond the steps where you've seen a lot of articles written and stories reporting how he was thinking about it, mulling it over but wasn't willing to talk about it. now he is at least talking about it. very weird how this process place out with political firtation if you will. he can't legally talk about running until he establishes accounts, starts hiring a staff. what he is doing telling big donors

it's easy to look at governor bush's mild manner, his temperament and cast him as a moderate. how he approaches his rhetoric he has more of a moderate temperament. he was a deeply conservative governor of florida, a popular person with home schooler, education reform with charter schools, did a lot to be pro business. that's what his camp are trying to remind conservatives of. he was a conservative when he was governor. even nouf if he doesn't have the ted cruz personality. >> a blank slate on foreign policy. a governor. >> he is. he is closely associated on a personal level with former secretary of state rice. he consults with her. beyond that he is a blank slate. that's one area he has to define himself 18 party at war now, between the hawks and doves t rand paul wing, where does push fit. >> robert, as always thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> who was the mystery man who carried to his grave the story of his generosity to the most desperate. we'll tell you next. and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine t

you could even wait for the microphone. >> thank you, governor bush, for your thoughts. just to go back to the.you touched on a minute ago, trendlines seemed to suggest a time of extraordinary opportunities across all vectors of human enterprise. i think american will be pivotal to whether we are able to capitalize on the trendlines or whether we will give way or succumb to the headlines. the question, i would be interested in your thoughts. >> absolutely. we have done it time and time again. the key to this to get to a. where american is accepted, we are growing economically. if you ask the asked the former head of the joint chiefs of staff for the current one with the great threat for america is, they would say the deficit. it is not that we are incapable of defending southeast asia. we still have military superiority that is certainly second to none. if we started to grow economically instead of having declines, we have had a recession, instead of of having that we have rising median income with the middle class that is optimistic, i think there would be not just an a

if governor bush runs, and i believe he will, because he's not the kind of guy that seeks the spotlightn't like the attention that much. to put himself out like that as he is, there must be a reason. that's -- like sherlock holmes used to do. >> there was a reason why he did this on sunday. michael putney, pullney, a longtime south florida broadcaster was retiring. governor bush had a longstanding relationship with him and asked as my final interview, i'd like to interview you. i'm not certain he was planning on saying these things. >> he's made some noises, so has his son and things like that. so i'm saying he's running for president. am i wrong? >> i don't know. i do -- i believe that he is tilting toward running, but looking, working for 41 and 43, i learned something a long time ago. 1977, george h.w. bush said i'm not going to make a decision about whether or not i'm going to run until after the 1978 election. i want to do everything i can in '77 and '78 to lay the predicate but i'm not going to run until after the november 1978 election and we see if jimmy baker gets elected attor

last week talking about how governor bush might have a mitt romney problem because of all of his financial dealings in interests. here is the beginning of getting rid of the romney problem? >> absolutely, jeb bush has two mitt romney problems. one come in the piece in "business week" it takes a look at the fact -- my cowriter, talented, financial. he has opened three funds, including 13 weeks ago. not the action that you would take. they said are you running for president of trying to get rich? the other problem, with barclays, you don't want to be associated with private equity, and certainly not a scandal-plagued bank like our clays -- like barclays. stepping down makes that story, hopefully for bush, a little tougher for journalists like us. >> one of the most striking things in the week of this story is mitt romney being quoted in politico saying, you think i have a problem with this, wait until you see would jeb bush is doing with barclays. >> mitt romney came out and said, "i'm worried about --" supposedly, "i'm more jeb bush has a private equity problem." >> first you are saying tha

governors i think has the better shot this time. just my gut. reaction? >> you know, i think you're right. but jeb bush is more than a governor.i'm going to totally agree -- >> and rick perry, by the way. i didn't mention. >> rick perry. but i want to come back to something which larry said and you talked about last week that i was up in arms about. there's a roiling in the american electorate, i don't mean just the, quote, definition tea party, i'm talking about the whole basic grass roots of the republican party. the revolt against washington. last week the republicans win a huge victory. they come in, and they throw their voters under the bus. the first thing we got to do is give the banks a bailout and make their contributors able to shut the system down even more and all these deals and, as you said, which i agree, i always thought the test was are you going to go give them nine months fully? are you going to fund the whole government? they did. and here's the problem with that. the grass roots is saying, what are you doing? you're supposed to change things. and the establishment core of the republican party, which runs t

in terms of republican issues like cutting government and so on, but also, we got a glimpse at governor bush in terms of it's nice to see a governor that was hands-on responding to constituent emails himself. can you imagine that? >> he did a lot of that. >> he did. governor bush actually responding before he took office, and while he was in office to constituent emails, to emails that said that he wasn't conservative enough. those are issues right around the corner. this guy is not some fringe candidate for president, he has a real shot at the nomination and in my contention, a real shot at becoming the next president of the united states. >> he releases these emails. it doesn't seem like there's anything surprising that comes out of them. how does it sort of distance him from other potential candidates who may have had scandals in their careers? >> well, i think what he's simply trying to say, i don't think he's going to stand out or separate himself from core candidates, but i think he's trying to say look, here's what i did, here's the picture, and take it for what it may be. it's a fasc

. >>> speculation is now mounting that former florida governor jeb bush is gearing up for a possible un at the oval office. he announced plans to release nearly 250,000 e-mails from his time as governor of florida. he says he's doing it for the sake of transparency and to let people make up their own minds. some view this as a sign that bush is preparing to announce a bid for the office his father and brother have held. early this month he plans to decide, quote, in short order whether or not he will seek the presidency. >>> well, a government spending bill turning into a political chess match at the senate. texas senator ted cruz using the opportunity to force a vote on immigration, a move that not only angered many of his republican colleagues but also gave democrats an opening to move forward on some of president obama's long-stalled nominees. so let's bring in now charlie hurt. he's a columnist for the washington times. charlie, i know your take on this is, oh, it's just much to-do about nothing, but for the sake of this segment, roll with me here, and jumping off the segment we j

doug, governor bush repeatedly said he wouldn't sign grover norquist's no new tax pledge s that true?rue, trace. governor bush said he would not sign that pledge, that antitax activist lobbyists grover norquist puts to gop candidates running for higher office. marco rubio bobby jindal, ted cruz mergerly signed it. he said i don't believe you outsource your convictions and principles to people. grover norquist is tearing into bush for his refusal to sign the pledge. >> jeb bush won't put it in writing and won't say it. at some point you have to ask him what taxes do you plan to raise? why would you not reform spending? those are questions that jeb bush will have to answer if he is going to run for president. >> reporter: bush does answer with his record as governor of florida which stands as the real testament to his record as a tax cutter and fiscal measure. he cut $19.3 billion in taxes with tax cuts every year during his eight years as governor. that, while growing the state's reserve to $9 billion from just one billion when he first took office. so that is really no small accomplis

i don't think other republican governors expected jeb bush to move this quickly. and so that might be an advantage for him. it this point, as i said yesterday, i don't think any of the republicans are able to narrow down their options, here we go, it's going to be a fun two years. >> do you wish him well? >> let me make something here, i knew him as a friend and colleague. not really as a colleague. i'm not endorsing him, i'm not a fan, i don't work for him, i'm not a pundit. >> for one, i agree with your earlier move and i think it's upset a lot of people that -- he thinks he can raise money and go around the country and campaign basically. exploratory money doesn't -- the only reason reason he would not run, but this is the first candidate in the race for absolutely certain. >> from a strategy position, you like the fact that he got out front because this is oeshlly a -- he's like the first one out of the pac. >> he can take the hits now like jamey says, he will take it. but hits are only so good so many times. if you're going to take them, they take them back a
