jim jordan of ohio, a member of the freedom caucus. one of those who is frequently criticized by his own leadership for saying no. conservatives thought once they got the white house you would have conservative spending bills. manu, you spend your time on capitol hill, this is the spending fights. it's about the role of government. did the democrats win the first spending fight of all republican washington? >> on a lot of key issues they did in this deal particularly on some of the things that divide the party. planned parenthood not going to be impacted. there's been a furious push among conservatives. democrats threatened to block any legislation in the senate if there was any sort of defund language. of course what's going to happen to trump's border wall. this was going to be a vehicle that the white house had hoped would be a down payment to begin construction of the border wall. democrats said no way. i objection it showed a couple things. one, the republicans have bad memories from the 2013 government shutdown. they're worried t

let's pick up where jim jordan left off.ut repealing and replacing obamacare, is the bill they are talking about a repeal? alex: it is sort of repeal-ish. let's not -- underestimate how big this will is. this is the single largest rollback and reform of entitlement programs in the history of the republic. you are capping off this medicaid expansion. you are rolling back this massive individual market subsidy. that is unprecedented in the history of the welfare state. this is big, whether you call it a repeal or not. david: what does that do to the states? does that leave the states holding the bag? alex: a really interesting position for states to be in because they are going to be, whether it is block granting or future, thein the amount of increase in medicaid is going to be caps off. it is not that medicaid is being pulled back, it is the amount of the increase will be capped off. flexibility toes run the medicaid programs, something we have always been loads to do, let them run that -- loathe to do, let them run that pro

listen to congressman jim jordan of ohio. he's a funding member of the hard line freedom caucus. >> money goes to planned parenthood as you said. money continues to go to sanctuary cities but no money for the border wall. plus it maintains for every dollar spent in defense money you have to give the democrats more money in non-defense. that's not what we campaigned on, so i'm disappointed. we'll see how it plays out this week, but you'll see conservatives have concerns with this legislation. >> and nbc news' capitol hill correspondent kasie hunt is joining us. you heard from jim jordan telling us what is in the deal and what is not? >> reporter: sure. we talked about keeping this open, $1.2 trillion overall. now, some of the key items in here, $14.8 billion in new defense spending, a total of $25 billion over the previous fiscal year. we have $1.5 billion for border security, $2 billion for nih, and continued funding for planned parenthood. so frankly, as important as what is in this deal is what's not in it, primarily money

jim jordan was like yeah i think we'll you get a vote and meehan say if we have the votes we'll haveote. we think we're getting there, but not 100%. what tunindo you think? >> this is like lucy with the football. they're right on the tipping point in the house and it is always possible that they can muscle it through but they have defined the bill, repositioned the bill in a way that is almost unimaginable than anything quite like this, with the state opt-outs of essential health benefits and guaranteed protections for people with preexisting conditions could pass the senate. you will be asking house moderates in competitive districts to vote for something that is 70% of the public opposes and has virtually no chance of passing the senate. man, that is asking a lot to get a symbolic victory through the house, circular as we said to the famous btu energy tax that bill clinton and al gore made house democrats vote on in '93, didn't pass the senate and they were still hammered on it in the 1994 election. >> preexisting conditions is one of the things people are looking at closely americ

. >> great to have jim jordan come on. senator thune coming on as well.eading the cut issscuttlebutt. democrats think this rises to something. if you express the desire, i hope you see clear to let this go, that's a different thing than quid pro quo. this is after he resigned. at the time, even the "washington post" wrote a piece that said in terms of actual criminal or elicit behavior, there wasn't any. it was that he lied to the vice president. and they looked at what flynn actually said, and there was nothing there. so at that time when trump in february, when he already resigned, unless there really is a russian connection, a collusion, a collusion with the administration, if that's why he wants comey not to pursue it, that's one thing. if it was just that -- >> do you think that matters? >> i think that's the key issue. >> i think the fact that he -- if you want to make the argument that him inserting himself into this is obstruction of justice, it doesn't matter if the charges are truly substantiated or not. it's the notion that he is simply steppin

jim jordan of ohio. congressman, great having you on.pect or are worried about? >> now, i think just where you said earlier. it will be close, but we went about. we have a pretty good though we can send to the senate and hopefully the veteran fully accomplish what we told the voters we were going to do, which is all repealed. neil: so, you are not keen on the first go around the way it was going. you are now. what close the deal? >> because conservatives engage in such an intensely over the last eight, 10 weeks, all the obamacare taxes are going right away. the leaked version. all of them in the first year. some of them might show that his force 17. as a component for able-bodied adults which is a good thing. the high-risk pool came from two of our colleagues in the freedom caucus. mr. schweikert and mr. palmer we think is important and most importantly the waiver provision is what we really fought hard for her. we're not going to repeal the regulations that drive up premiums have busted date the options for a waiver out of the regulatio

even jim jordan the head of the freedom caucus this is not repeal and replace.s the best we can do at this point. but what is this? if you look at the details of it, more people will be uninsured, higher premiums and deductibles, more cost for seniors even in terms of prescription drugs. i think that's what the democrats are saying that the reality of this bill could be damaging to republican candidates running in 2018. >> shannon: maybe they should be happy about that and something for them to celebrate. mercedes, i think you would take objection to some of these things. that's not how it's been betrayed. they say it will bring costs down and more people will be covered. when there is no mandate less people will be covered because less people will not have to get coverage. >> the democrats aren't willing to fix the failing obamacare as we've heard so many times, the aetna ceo saying obamacare is in a death spiral. we've seen the results of obamacare, fewer choices for individuals especially for the middle class. you are seeing collapsing markets. you are seeing
