President trump remains confident his revised travel ban travel travel ban will withstand any legal challenges. President signed the new order yesterday. Kpix 5s lisa chan reports from sfo with more. Reporter anne, last night, dozens of protestors gathered outside the white house just hours after President Trump signed the new travel ban. Heres whats different. The new ban bars new visas temporarily from six countries for 90 days. This time, it does not include iraq and it doesnt apply to current visa holders. Also, refugees from syria are no longer barred indefinitely. We are identifying ways to improve the vetting process. And thus, keep terrorists from entering our country. Reporter the revised ban suspends the u. S. Refugee program for 120 days. Now, a spokesperson from the aclu says they still believe that this new travel ban is illegal and unconstitutional. We are live at sfo, lisa chan, kpix 5. The fight to block the ban could come back to a San Francisco courtroom. Kpix 5 political reporter melissa caen says, the bay area educational and Political Climate is ripe for several lawsuits against the government. Where in america do you have more education institutions, you know, places where engineers are needed, than Silicon Valley . So potential plaintiffs are a really big pool here in the bay area. The new order is supposed to take effect next week. Republicans also finally released their much hyped plan to replace the Affordable Care act. To get a sense of how it differs from obamacare we turn to washington insider marc sandalow. Its good to have you in studio. Welcome. 5 a. M. Is different on the west coast than it is on the east coast. Okay. So more palatable here . No. Its 8 a. M. Here and im much more awake. Good to be awake this early. So lets start with this. Explain the difference between the gop plan and obamacare. Okay. So it gets rid of the mandate. You dont have to buy insurance anymore. Instead, getting direct subsidies are going to be tax breaks. It also keeps popular things like Insurance Companies have to continue to cover people. You can stay on your parents insurance policies until you are 26. Its like being on a diet and saying im going to get rid of the parts of the diet i dont like and keep the parts i get to eat. If you have the Insurance Companies forced to insure the sick, but you dont force everyone including the healthy to get insurance, then the numbers dont add up. So theres still a lot of questions about how this works. What are the chances that this is going to become law . Theres already democrats are lined up against it. No way. They are not going to help out a Republican Party thats been dead set on this for years. So now you have some conservative republicans already saying its too expensive. Its going to cost too much and you already have some liberals its not going to cover everybody. That said, republicans have been hell bent on replacing obamacare. They have passed over 60 bills to do so. They finally have a president in donald trump who can do that and sign that bill for them. So the politics in washington are going to be interesting again.

This follows trump tweeting with no evidence another huge american scandal which is a 3 Million People voted illegally.

There are people who are genuinely nervous in washington. I have been out there now for 25 years almost since i left this city. I have been watching impeachment. I have watched contested elections.
