he calls maggie haberman who has written a pretty harsh -- he calls bob woodward. he calls jonathan swine. they are not getting leaks from staff. they are getting leaks from him. yet, he's beating them up and saying fake news. i'm just wondering what the packet, what you think the package does as a message to a young person growing up today about the role of media and democracy. jason: well, i think for republican candidate president trump and others and elected officials clearly need to do a much better job with younger voters. you see what happened in the mid terms, democrats did a fantastic job turning out younger voters. republicans did a terrible job. you look at the trend of younger voters by 2024 millennials will have surpassed baby boomers. that's a concern if we don't get our act together and start making a stronger push. steve: a lot of people in response to president trump -- in fact, a lot of republican conservatives, team trump folks said they wish he would stop talking about the past and talk about the future. any chance of that? jason: look at tuesda
