[ applause ] let's deal with some of the comments that secretary clinton made. and by the way, yoyoknow, sometimes there's a lot of drama here. i've known secretary clinton for 25 years and respect her very much. here is the issue. every major country on earth, whether it's the uk, whether it's france, whether it's canada, has managed to provide health care to all people as a right and they are spending significantly less per capita on health care than we are. so i di not accept the belief that t united states of america can't do that. i do not accept the belief that the united states of america and our government can't stand up to the rip-offs of the armaceutical industrtr which charge us by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

4:14 am
>> the bottom line is, there isn't a lot of accomplishments and i don't think it's a fair question. >> reporter: rubio down played santorum's comments. >> i wouldn't expect him to be familiar with my record. >> we're electing a president of the united states. not a back bench tore the united states senate. >> reporter: jeb bush has made an issue of rubio's lack of experience all week. today the super pac supporting bush released its first tv ad featuring former president george bush. >> i know jeb. i know his good heart and strong backbone. >> reporter: scott, top republicans here say trump can win without the organization that ted cruz, john kasich and jeb bush have devoted to new hampshire. >> major garrett for us in new hampshirir thank you. speakingngf jeb bush, he finished sixth in iowa, and he's at 10% in new hampshire. well, today, norah o'donnell spoke to him and his mother, former first lady barbara bush. >> just a few years ago you said
