college park. >> reporter: we are here on the university of maryland campus just a few steps away from the stadium. i know everyone has heard the saying being in the right place at the right time. that is the best way to frame this story. that happened to this man in the right place at the right time to save a life. let's show you who we are talking about. he is louis reyes. he was here on the university of maryland campus on sunday when he realized someone had possibly had a heart attack. people were screaming. he carries his own aed. who does that? he grabbed it out of the trunk, ran to the victim. that victim was on the ground. he had collapsed. others had surrounded him including an e.r. doctor from a local hospital. reyes hooked up his aed. it delivered a shock to the man. he not only regained consciousness but began to breathe. he was speaking within a minute.

seeking answers. interesting the congressional black caucus has been on social media using the hash tag cbc on health care getting questions if the members of congress fielding questions from folks. people were asking how is repeal going to effect low to no income citizens if they have to pay a penalty? black folks less likely to have access to mental health care. how would this potential plan under president trump what would it mean for their mental health care and children with learning disabilities. real family kitchen table issues that people are concerned about. you have yet to hear what the replacement would look like. >> you are not getting a sense that there is expectation that they will get it right and figure it out? >> they don't feel like what i get from folks is they sense that rather than scuttle what is already in place and let the law work and build on it, it seems like the republicans are taking obviously another pathway. they are saying why don't we

race and the media, a look behind the microphone. as usual he was brilliant. he was insightful. he told the crowd about the pen and the knife that he carried for around 50 years as a news man. take a look at what he had to say. >> i use the knife to peel back onions. and i use this pen as a mirror which is what i think my job has been for the longest time and continues to be. my job has been to hold up a mirror to those who have power and those who have privilege for them to see what they have wrought and what it is that they are doing in such a way that they may be able to deny it but they can't deny it with any truth as their basis. >> that's a master class in being a journalist. put this in persiv
