While some House Republicans have gotten on board with the updated budget bill, others still

have concerns about the impact it will have on the national debt. Omna spoke earlier with Congressman

Mike Flood, who supports the bill. Joining us now to discuss his opposition is Republican

Congressman Ralph Norman of South Carolina. Thanks for being with us, sir.

Glad to be with you. So Republican House leaders

spent the better part of the day trying to shore up support from Freedom Caucus members like

yourself. President Trump invited you and your colleagues to the White House for direct talks.

What came out of those conversations? Did they move the needle at all for you?

First of all, President Trump was very gracious with his time. He told us some things we didn't know that were a reality, and he had his for us vote

and others there to answer questions.

And he's been doing that all day.

He spent about two hours with us, very uplifting.

And, you know, we expressed our concerns and continued to do it throughout

the day.

I just left a meeting with about 20 who were meeting with his staff.

And, you know, the ticking time bomb is debt.

And that's what one of the questions we had.

The other were the particulars, the In reduction act credits, which were a problem,

the illegal aliens voting, the able-bodied Americans who chose not the work and getting

a paycheck.

All of that went into a great discussion that started early this morning with the speaker.

And we'll see how it goes.
