. >>> brian sobel joins us now. we want to begin with healthcare . republicans pass the key vote. they have divisions within their own party. >> that's a good question. where they go from here is that this allows for debate. you're going to search the amendments to the house construct in the house bill and you will see what the democrats play. not one vote came from democrats today. they were there because of the republicans and the win was because the hard work begins. >> it was interesting listening to john mccain. quote let's trust each other we've been spinning our wheels onto many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win. we are getting nothing done. whether or not we are of the same party we are not the presidents subordinates. we are is equal. >> do you see members of congress becoming more independent from trump court >> i've said since the beginning of this thing that trump ran as a republican. he didn't have a republican base per se. rank-and-file, many don't trust him. john mccain made a very impassioned speech and very well respected in the senate.

. >> joining us now is brian sobel. why is it that democrats and republicans can't just come together and fix the issues that we all agree are there with obamacare? >> we hope that's what they can do but we have watched year after year of republicans, through the obama administration stone walling everything, or as they say in washington, slow walking things, and now you are seeing it on the flip side. i guess when people get angry enough something will happen but we are not there yet. >> let's talk about jeff sessions and the interview that donald trump, president trump, did with the "new york times" saying that he would not have appointed senator sessions as the attorney general if he had known that he was going to recuse himself from the russia investigation. why would he say that? why do you say that publicly? and who would want to work for the administration if you feel like you're maybe one step away there being thrown under the bus by the president? >> that's a great point. i think for whatever reason he gets int
