Mika Brzezinski doesn’t care about men’s health, so says CNBC’s Donny Deutsch.
Deutsch, a guest on Thursday’s broadcast of “Morning Joe,” told the audience he learned that “Mika, though I love [her], you are insensitive to the medical needs of between 40 percent and 60 percent of men over 70 in this country, and I was surprised by that.”

“Can I tell you, for my insensitivity,” the “Morning Joe host shot back. “You’ve got big business on your side because you men get that covered by insurance. Okay? And you wouldn’t believe what’s not covered by insurance for us women. Yeah.”
“Erectile dysfunction,” Deutsch whispered to Mike Barnicle, who responded, “what is that?”
“My nickname,” responded Deutsch.
“Cut the mike,” Brzezinski sighed. “I’ve got to somehow reset here as we close the show. Just forget them. Stephanie Ruhle, I’m very sorry, Stephanie. Stephanie Ruhle picks up the coverage right now. Have a great day.”
