Doors over the last month and a half and, you know, we really don't know what's going to be unveil on the west front of the capitol tomorrow and to be doing this on a bill that not only will affect, i think, 1/6 of the economy but 100% of the american people for generations to come is really unconscionable. >> just to be fair to republicans, you know, isn't their hypocrisy really on both sides here? >> you know, i don't believe so. especially given the process that was in both houses of congress, dozens and dozens of hearings. we brought in experts. we heard from industry experts. we heard fro...

Answering those health care questions to you. >> he sounded like someone who did not want to get in mitch mcconnell's way at all in this process. he knows they are moving along. he knows mitch mcconnell has sed this deadline. there clearly have been meetings with the white house and they have been briefed on what's going on but he did not want to step on anything that the senate majority leader is doing. what i thought was interesting was how sean handled the political question about health care and the hypocrisy that has -- this charge that has been levelled against republicans. >> he was rea...

Plenty of time for debate. >> he's talking about voting next week. >> i'll let senator mcconnell determine the senate schedule and run the senate that he sees fit but let's not mistake ourselves with how they approach this thing. their leader, senator shumer, made it very clear on at least two separate occasions that they didn't want to be part of this process. they didn't want to repeal and replace obamacare. they were happy with obamacare. we believe obamacare's failing. we want a better system for the american people, a patient-centric health care system that brings down cost and gives more...

Different than what republicans criticized democrats for doing. >> i think we wanted to be part process back then. you look at what senator shumer said back in february to a moveon.org call where he said no democrat's going to go near this and what he said in a letter may 9, he said that no democrats would be part of an effort that would repeal obamacare. so, they have chosen to take themselves not -- to not make themselves part of this process. there is, when senator mcconnell brings the bill forward, i'm sure there will be plenty of time to have debate. it's the senate. there's always time f...

Question to you on the health care bill and specifically the fact that sean spicer was saying that he, being the president or his staff, hasn't seen it yet. >> yes, that was what stuck out to me. this health care bill is the biggest story in washington and actually affects the american people a lot as well and sean would not say that the president knew much about the process or the details of it at all, which was very striking. my understanding is actually the trump staff is being briefed on the details of the bill. i actually think that he could probably have answered that question more preci...
