one of the lessons we learned, at least when i was the national governor's association, you at any time know when the person sitting next to you walk republican or democrat. didn't matter. now i gather that's gotten much more mitt cal. >> guest: it is. >> host: we were about sharing -- >> guest: even inside othe organization? it's all gotten -- it's become infected between governors and i'm not even a member of the national governors association because i don't need to go to meeting with nobody gets done and all if see is no serious work together. i'm trying to do a little with democratic governors on health care, and we'll see how far i can get on that. do need health care reform but can't just cut millions millionf people off. so it's become unfortunately, i think, a lot more political and not good, so we have to swing it back. >> host: it's. it's a shame mitchell staff wasn't happy when i left because i would come book back with a list of things to try. >> guest: i'm tolling you all these stories toy. i haven't said this during the tour but i enjoy the story. the governor of connecti
