7:10 am
race, some that show a wide race. why doesn't he just level with his own supporters who adore him and say, you know what? the polls are all over the place. get out there and vote for me. why does he have to construct this thing about the votes are rigged, why not just level with supporters saying we're in a race here and i need your vote. >> he does tell them to vote. in fact, all over florida in these last couple of days, savannah, we saw people in lines in some places -- >> but kellyanne, you know his big pitch is how the system is broken and rigged and there might be voter fraud. i guess my point is why not lay it out straight for your voters instead of constructing this whole reality where everything is a fraud? why not just say, look, we're in a big battle here. >> do you hear what hillary clinton -- are you aware of what hillary clinton and joe biden say about him in a given day? it's unbelievable.
7:11 am
millions of dollars behind the politics, the personal destruction and -- >> but that's not an answer to the question. fair enough, but if you don't mind, answer that question. >> you're asking me why he talk bes a big, construct system. and the presumption of the question is that he's the one that's being most nasty out there where it's not a close call who is running the nastiest -- >> that's not the implication i meant to send. it's just that's his argument. >> on the rigged, corrupt system, he is not -- he's behind. he's talking about the forgotten man and the forgotten woman that the system does not work for them. and savannah, they agree or we wouldn't be competitive in this race. 75% of americans in the country want to take this country in a new direction. he is their voice. >> if you're out there, though, and you're saying we're winning when the polls -- and we've got the sheet in front of us here -- show otherwise, then if you get to election day and you don't win, you're driving home this
7:12 am
i told you we were winning and all of a sudden we didn't win. isn't that going to take the trump supporters and send them down the road angry thinking they got ripped off? >> and is that fair to them? >> no. no, the trump supporters, if they're angry at anything, it's angry at washington. it's angry at wall street. it's angry at the fact that they're now opening their mailboxes as i sit here and getting walked with these premium increases. in nevada this morning, i get an e-mail, got an e-mail from a healthy young man yesterday, his premium doubled. americans can't afford this, this thing called obamacare and it's not working. hillary clinton owns it. donald trump has a plan to let you buy your insurance across state lines, block grant medicaid to the states and certainly allow you to buy more patient-centric free market health care plans to through health savings accounts. he believes in a different path
7:13 am
this is what is motivating people to stand in line to come to the rallies, 15,000 strong and to stand in line and vote. those who want to say the election is over aren't paying attention to the fact that voters deserve their voice and to exercise their choice and most of them will do that in 13 days. >> we certainly support the voters rights' to exercise their choice. no question about it. kellyanne, thank you. really appreciate it. >> thank you for having he. thank you both. let's talk now about a growing controversy involving thousands of u.s. s ordered to repay enlistment bonuses during the iraq and afghanistan wars. this morning, defense secretary ash carter voiing to resolve that issue. in an exclusive interview with nbc news, carter said the government needs to do the right thing by our service members. >> the least and there are people there in harm's way doing necessary work for the united states. i think what's important is every single service member
