good morning. >> good morning. >> we're going to thank you enthe bill in just a second. the president has already called it fake news this morning. >> i thought the 2016 election was over and i was grateful for that but it's back again. one of the things i've found is this was debated in august through october of last year. they want to focus on the topics of the day and they're looking back. this is 12 years ago. the fact that it's been brought forward, i think it's just going to convince trump people that the news media are out to get him. >> but if you go to the town halls, that's changing. in terms of what they want to know, it's changing. >> no. with all due respect, it isn't chanchting. those are professional
8:05 am
they're showing up at events all across the country. it's not your average everyday citizens. it's people who have come to disrupt. yes, are they raising it, gail? they are, but it doesn't mean the american people care. in all the polling we have done, this isn't even a top end issue. it's one of the reasons that americans are so fed up with washington and so fed one politics as usual and frankly, the media has to be able to hold this president and congress accountable. they have to have the credibility to be able to call the white house's bluff, but they can't do it if they're focused on issues that the average american, ordinary american doesn't care about. >> what is the media not doing which you think they need to do? >> they need to focus on health care which they do. charlie, by the way, it's great to see you. welcome back. we've missed you. >> thank you. >> they need to focus on what was happening and what is
8:06 am
same time they're focused on the details of the republican plan. it isn't an either/or. it's not just what the gop is doing. it's the failure of the plan right now. charlie, the last president said health care costs would go down. but they're sky rocketing across the country. they claimed you could keep your care but we know millions lost it. they said it was going to be more simple, more easy, and it isn't. there are issues with the plan quite bluntly, but it isn't just what republicans are putting out. it's also what democrats have done for the last four years and we need to cover all of that in the same story. >> well, republicans are not on the same page about the gop bill. what to you say than? >> i'll give you a good example. they talk about we need to increase competition. i have yesterday to hear a single ordinary american say what we need is more competition. chat they say is we need more
8:07 am
they don't need anything getting in the way of a doctor/patient relationship but they don't need it. they're focused on legislation. what they should be focused on is health and health deliverynd a how americans connect to the health care system, their doctor, their hospital, their prescription drug benefits and that's not what's happening. it's coming across as philosophy, as policy, rather than as a real human need. the questions are how do you get a significant number of part-time involved in it? snow you have to personalize it. humanize it. you have to connect in a way that they see it as good for them. once young people get married it
8:08 am
once they have their young child, it changes, of course. but dwlou get children between the ages of 27 and 34 involved in this? that's not happening. it doesn't seem to be happening as republicans are putting forth their alternative issue. this is something we need and want and deserve. we need affordable health care. we want choices and the ability to genuinely choose our doctor, hospital, or health care plan, and we deserve quality. that's what the republicans should be focused on. and that's not happening now. >> it's an interesting thing. it's a long way from what president trump promised during the campaign. >> you're absolutely right. i don't know if someone watching this, how it is going resolve itself. but, charlie, the democrats told me. not a single democrat or house democrat
