to the arabs in the area, do they have power? it s a lot of power. and i ve been a critic, but prp is showing foresight. laura: how does it look for the bigger plan? it looks good. i m surprised. the only way the syrian conflict is going to be resolved, it deployment suggests to president trump, that he some degree understands it and pressures the russian. laura: leland. leland: we re learning more information about the intruder arrested overnight at the white house. to kristin fisher on the north lawn with what security is like right now in about five minutes and down the street from the white house, on capitol hill, the battle is on, quite literally, over how to repeal and replace obamacare. house budget chairwoman diane
chair by congressman diane black who joins us now. nice to see you, madame chairwoman. great to be with you, leland. thank you for having. good to be with you. i m fascinated by this concept that we have a bill that s already making its way through congress without knowing how much it s going to cost. does that concern you? well, leland, we actually have been getting some numbers from the cbo. but what the cbo wants to do finally is once you put all of the pieces together, so we have been getting isolated scores throughout the process of debate and now what we are asking them to do is to put all of the ideas together and to come back with one large score for us. all right, speaking of those smaller scores, it s one of the things that a number of house republicans, the freedom caucus in specific is use to go attack this plan is not going far enough. congressman louis in specific.
well, you have to look at the bottom line, what does it do. if everything works perfectly, we may get an 8, 9, maybe even a 10% reduction in the costs. this is crazy. a lot of reporting out there that house republicans and specially those in leadership meaning committee shares, yourself included, have been surprised by the blow back from deeply conservative republicans. what are you going to do to try from what you heard from the congressman? good healthy debate is good. at the end of the day, we get a good product. i m not surprised at representative and what his take on all of this is. this is good conversation. this happens each time we do a bill but this is a big bill and there are a lot of moving parts and we are listening to all members.
