craig moss joins me now. first off, mr. as i've told you before, my deepest condolences to you and yours for the loss of your son. i can't imagine the pain but i think it is admirable to bring attention to this important issue. >> well, thank you. and thank you for having me on your show. >> so, the republican health care plan would end the obamacare requirement that addiction services be covered under medicaid in the 31 states that expanded medicaid. now in 2014, one in four americans treated for addiction were on medicaid, according to the national center on addiction and substance abuse. so, what might it mean for others like your son rob who struggled with addiction if this requirement is taken away from medicaid? >> well, i'm going to tell you, it takes away the only hope these kids and these young adults have. it takes away the hope that the only life line that they have to get off this drug -- we were supposed to add to the services that are currently available and what's happened is we're takeing away what we're sup

. >> so that's craig moss. are you saying democrats should have no sympathy for that man?him >>, absolutely, have sympathy if this guy, he's open to hearing reason and hearing what the actual facts are. but there are a lot of voters that would have voted a public republican ticket no matter who was on it. they don't want to hear it. they don't want to believe the affordable care act is obamacare which they hate, even when they're being covered by it. >> or that medicare is a government program. to your point, you have this po poll from "washington post" saying only 3% of trump voters regret their vote after all that has happened. is that now the deathly nail for democrats? is it the death nail for the chase. they don't control anything. >> well, they do. they have to rebuild from the ground up. the most popular leaders of the democratic party, warren, sanders and bind, are all social security age. the situation at the local and state level is terrible and they've got to build from democratic principles, not by pandering to actually a smaller minority of voters that shows n

moss is a trump supporter no more. tell me about this guitar. do you play this guitar anymore? >> nope. >> reporter: why not? >> i'm not on the trump trail anymore. >> reporter: craig imagine what its like to lose a child, he was 24 years old, and he was an addict. you saw trump reach out to you and say that your son is proud of you. and you really felt those words were insincere? >> they meant nothing to him, they meant everything to him, and they apparently meant nothing to the president. you know, it's -- i don't have any other explanation, why would a man try so hard to push this health care bill through well knowing that it didn't clover anything that he talked about on the campaign trail. >> this opiod group that he put together, chris christie, is going to be in charge of that, the governor of new jersey, do you think chris christi could turn this around? change this? >> yes, i think if he could put all his time into it. but being the in fact that it's a voluntary position, it's a part-time position for him. he's already stated in the open forum that he intends to direct all his attention to new jersey in his last term here. and so when he has time, he is go
