PHILLIP: I, yeah, because I think that what matters to people in their homes (CROSSTALK) PERNELL: Yes. PHILLIP: is whether or not they know what immunizations their child should have, which by the way, immunizations have saved so many lives. (CROSSTALK) JENNINGS: I'm not disagreeing with you about that. I agree with you. (CROSSTALK)
PHILLIP: What matters to them around the world is not what words are being used by people (CROSSTALK) JENNINGS: Oh, I think it does matter because it tells me what kind of person he is.
