3:00 am
top of the hour. good morning to you. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm christi paul live in washington with you here where today should have been a day of celebration for president trump. one year in office. the one-year anniversary of his presidency. the party he planned at mar-a-lago is no more at the moment because you're waking up to a government that is shut down. just a few hours ago, the senate
3:01 am
rejected a budget bill, forcing a shutdown for the first time in more than four years. leaders from both parties are quick this morning to blame each other. >> perhaps across the aisle some of our democratic colleagues are feeling proud of themselves, but what has their filibuster accomplished? what has it accomplished? the answer is simple -- their very own government shutdown. >> president trump, if you are listening, i am urging you, please take yes for an answer. the way things went today, the way you turned from a bipartisan deal, it's almost as if you were rooting for a shutdown. >> we have a panel of experts here to break down every detail. we're going to start with our team of cnn reporters. abby phillip is here in the d.c. bureau. ryan nobles is on capitol hill. ryan, you first. we've learned negotiations are expected to start again in just a few hours, right?
3:02 am
>> yeah, that's right, victor. the house and senate will both be back in session here on capitol hill today with the hope that there can be some sort of conversation that begins around finding a way to end this now-government shutdown here in washington. and this comes after a day filled with tension and not much negotiating, frankly, here on capitol hill. yesterday, all of that tension came to a head on the floor of the senate late last night before the government was set to shut down. listen to how senate majority leader colonmitch mcconnell andk schumer said last night. >> what we've witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision by senate democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political games. a government shutdown was 100% avoidable. completely avoidable.
3:03 am
now it is imminent all because senate democrats chose to fi filibuster a noncontroversial funding bill that contains, nothing, not a thing they do not support. nothing they do not support. perhaps across the aisle some of our democratic colleagues are feeling proud of themselves, but what has their filibuster accomplished? what has it accomplished? the answer is simple -- their very own government shutdown. shutdown effects on the american pople will come as no surprise. all week as we've said on the floor and begged our colleagues to come to their senses, senate republicans have described exactly, exactly what this will mean. >> republican leadership can't get to yes because president trump refuses to.
3:04 am
mr. president, president trump, if you are listening, i am urging you, please take yes for an answer. the way things went today, the way you turned from a bipartisan deal, it's almost as if you were rooting for a shutdown. now we'll have one, and the blame should crash entirely on president trump's shoulders. this will be called the trump shutdown. this will be called the trump shutdown because there is no one, no one who deserves the blame for the position we find ourselves in more than president trump. >> reporter: it's important to point out that for most of the day yesterday there was really no sense that a grand bargain was going to happen. everyone seemed pretty resigned to the fact that the shutdown
3:05 am
was in the offing. look at what happened on the floor late last night on the senate. that's where all these senators started to come together, both republican and democrat, in furious conversations with the hope that the 11th hour they can come up with a solution to keep the government open. even at that point, those conversations collapsed. this is where we are today. as we mentioned, both the house and senate will be back on capitol hill. the senate is set to -- sorry, the house is set to gavel in at 9:00 a.m. both house republicans and democrats will go their separate ways. they will talk behind closed doors. then the senate returns at noon, and that's where the real conversations can begin. the best hope that we can have now of the government reopening is not this big grand bargain that's going to be a necessity at some point where they iron out all these issues related to immigration and other things. the best hope now is perhaps a short-term fix that would maybe keep the government open until february 8th. that's a plan being floated by
3:06 am
senator lindsey graham. and that's to be expect -- expected to be where the focus will be here on capitol hill today. victor and christie? >> thanks. cnn's white house correspondent abby phillip is with us now. we know the white house released a statement. almost sounded a little like something the president might tweet. let us know what was in that. >> reporter: well, good morning. we are on the one-year anniversary of president trump taking office. instead of celebrating in a party in florida today like he had planned, the president is spending it at the white house in a shutdown. the white house put out a statement last night that was essentially furious at the democrats for putting, in their phrasing, putting the country in this position. sarah huckabee sanders put out this statement, very trumpian, saying there is the "schumer shutdown." she said, "tonight they above the shutdown over our military
3:07 am
family, vulnerable children, and our country's ability to serve all americans. we will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. this is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislato legislators." extraordinary to see this kind of name-calling in an official white house statement. but it reflects how these talks have really broken down. the president and chuck schumer chuck schumer sat over lunch yesterday at the white house and were not able to come to a deal. white house chief of staff john kelly calling schumer later to tell him it's simply too liberal. whatever they discussed over lunch was too liberal, they didn't have a deal. >> and abby, we're hearing from the vice president early this morning as he's en route to the middle east, right? >> reporter: that's right. the vice president kept the trip to the least which was previously scheduled. on his way there, he's been surrounded by military service members. he promised them that this would be worked out.
3:08 am
he framed this government shutdown in terms of how it would affect our national defense. listen to what he had to say. >> look, democrats in the senate with a few exceptions on either side chose to put politics ahead of our national events. put politics ahead of meeting the obligations of our national government. and that's just unacceptable. it's disappointing millions. >> reporter: it is really not clear how this is all going to end. senator schumer says he wants to talk again, but the white house has given no indication that they want to get back to the table with democrats, especially not on the immigration issue. >> abby, thank you very much. maria cardona, comment daughter and strategist, jack kingston, commentator and adviser for the trump campaign,
3:09 am
and sara wood for "the washington examiner." we know that mitch mcconnell will call for a vote on a three-week extension of a continuing resolution. if they didn't get 30 days, why would lindsey graham's plan for three weeks be plausible here? >> that's really the question. i mean, this is when it boils down to politics and not policy. it's hard to see where the -- they come together when the fundamental issue, whether you include immigration in an appropriations bill or whether you negotiate that separately has still not been worked out. no side looks willing to blink. republicans are still unwilling to put the deal in the funding bill. even if they wanted to, there is no deal at the moment to be placed in the appropriations bill. it's hard to see three weeks, 30 days, this impasse being resolved in that time. >> democrats were calling for a couple of days at a time. 24 hours at a time. what won-- at what point do we d
3:10 am
the government six hours at a time? >> we're on the fourth continuing resolution. that's why you saw conservatives object. it was more ideological than what some democrats vote against their party on this. they didn't want to keep funding the government piecemeal. that's the everyone that funding should be more conservative, is the root of the word. they should be more prudent about spending. er -- i do think that's why you saw that. >> and mark lee. i think everyone is watching how voters will respond and what type of public opinion and reaction americans will have to where we are now. there's a bunch of chicken being played, and i think what's interesting is watching people new to congress not knowing how to play the game, taking big risks thinking that whatever they vote could help them. i think they see a type of reaction that shows things aren't working the way they hope they will, they could do something differently, even within the next 24 to 36 hours.
3:11 am
>> don't they feel like they have a buffer because they make the point, well, nobody's paycheck is going to suffer yet. they're going to get a paycheck. i heard one of the congressmen seaing we can get through sunday because -- saying we can get through sunday because monday we'll go back to work. >> i'm reminded of something newt gingrich said during the campaign. people don't care about the facts as much as how they care about how they feel. and sometimes some people are operating from a place of fear and anxiety that could push them to view the whole situation in a way that's different from what's actually happening. i think lawmakers are paying attention to that. >> stay with us. we will get jack and maria in the conversation in a moment. the realities of the government shutdown now in the spotlight. >> yes. who's going to go without a paycheck is the question. how much will it cost american taxpayers? those answers for you next. stay close. from the first moment you met

all righty. national museums, parks closed, military members working without paychecks, that's what we cuba seeing if something is not gone in the next few hours. >> the list goes on and on after u.s. lawmakers in the white house failed to reach a deal. cnn's tom foreman breaks down the impact of the shutdown on the american people. >> reporter: 850,000 government workers locked out of their offices and left out of their paychecks. that's what happened when the government shut down in 2013, and it would likely be the same this time. many services would be stopped or delayed for the public. the centers for disease control would brach doack down on flu t could. 200,000 passport applications went unprocessed during the shutdown in 1995. congress funds much of the science research being done in this country. in 2013, the shutdown meant that
3:17 am
some experiments went on hold and suffered costly losses of data. in space that year, nasa put a monitoring system for looking for dangerous asteroids on hold for about two weeks reportedly. a big one, by the one, is expected to brush by earth on february 4th. as for the 417 national parks, the administration wants to keep limited access wherever possible. services would be reduced in all 19 of the smithsonian's museums, shutting their doors after this weekend. now beyond that, not everybody would be out. for example, in the military, there's worry about the impact on the military. there would be some discomfort, no doubt, for military families if their pay was delayed. other benefits, that sort of thing. but congress has previously gone out of its way to keep that from being too egregious, and the troops would stay on duty. indeed, roughly 1.9 million government workers would keep at it since their jobs are considered essential. air traffic controllers,
3:18 am
security officers, food inspectors, prison guards, social security checks would also go out as would be expected for the senior population out. there the post office would remain open. in virtually all of these cases, people would be working without pay until the shutdown is over. that could cause them some difficulties, undeniably. and it could all be pricey for us, too. one current estimate, shutting down the government would cost taxpayers $6 billion a week. >> let's bring back our panel, maria, jack, eugene, air is sar. the president weighed in. a minute ago he tweeted, "democrats are far more concerned with illegal immigrants than they are with our great military or safety at our dangerous southern border. they could have easily made a deal but decided to play shutdown politics instead.
3:19 am
#weneedmorerepublicansin18to powerthroughmess." >> i agree. this is the schumer shutdown. the president said "i'll work with you." he asked for three more weeks, two weeks, whatever. i think ultimately that's what's going to happen. the depends never let a deal get out of the senate. the president did not veto any legislation here. the president wasn't given that option. the president's position is we need a few more weeks. it's probably not right to connect everything to the government funding bill, but i want to say this -- as a republican, i understand why democrats would do. it as republicans that's what we want to do. you want to put your luggage on the only train leaving town, and this is the train. for chuck schumer not to say to his troops, let's give it three more weeks, let's work through the weekend, let's don't go home, let's not go on -- let's get this hammered out. >> they did that three times. and that's why so many democrats and a handful of republicans
3:20 am
were so frustrated and sick of this and didn't vote for this. it was number three continuing c.r., that is not how you run a government. >> it is -- >> i am not done. i am not done. >> i yield the lady her time. >> hang on. i know you are in congress, and i know that you vote for the shutdown is in 2013. so president trump also was in just last year, in 2017, he tweeted -- and we saw this in the last segment. he tweeted he was rooting for a shutdown. you have the president of the united states rooting for a shutdown, and you have the president of the united states and republicans who talked about doing a daca deal so many times. in fact, they promised senator flake when he vote for the tax bill that they would give him a deal on daca the next time around. that is why he voted against it. how do you negotiate with a president who, first of all, lies almost every third word that comes out of his mouth, and
3:21 am
moves the goalpost and blows up deals instead of being this famous dealmaker he ran on. >> let me check with the control room. do we have the sound bite from last tuesday, that open meeting on daca? let me know when we have it. >> so we can hear from him. i have a full screen. i believe we have it. when we talk about mattered here to the american public, there was a cnn poll that was taken. it turns out that 56% wanted to avoid a shutdown. 34% believed daca was the main negotiating factor here. so that is not good for democrats necessarily. >> no, not at all. but i think one thing that was left out of the tweet is that the president didn't acknowledge that schumer actually put the border wall on the table in the conversation and was still rejected. what the democrats also wanted to do was talk about the opioid epidemic and puerto rico and domestic spending. so the question becomes how are the democrats going to change
3:22 am
the public perception that maybe they went for daca recipients over american people, however they define american people, when the reality is many things were involved in this conversation, as jack mentioned. >> let's get a reminder now. this is the president two tuesdays ago in the meeting that was praised, the president had more than two dozen bipartisan lawmakers in the oval office. we watched for 55 minutes. this is what the president said about signing a deal when it would come to him, what he would and would not do. >> this group comes back hopefully with an agreement. this group and others from the senate, from the house, comes back with an agreement, i'm signing it. i mean, i will be signing it. i'm not going to say, oh, gee, i want this or i want that. i'll be signing it. >> he also said "i will take the heat for anything" that he signs. >> nothing's been sent to him. >> what was the -- >> last thursday, what was that?
3:23 am
when dick diurbin and lindsey graham said we'll take half of the diversity lottery and move that, we'll give you money for the wall, we will address the family reunification for chain migration, and we want daca protection, what was that? >> let me underscore this. >> they did everything the president asked for. >> as productive as it might be for lindsey graham and dick durbin to be sitting down and doing the right thing, they don't represent a majority of the house and senate. so they have not delivered on that. the president has not vetoed anything, and he hasn't said "i'm out of here, i'm going to mar-a-lago, it has to be my way." he's saidi in-- he's saying we d more time. we do not have the 218 votes in the house, it the proposal doesn't have the votes -- >> i want to give sara a chance to weigh in. >> i think both of you are right. on the one hand he did say that he was open to negotiating some bipartisan deal. that wasn't presented to him on thursday. the framework of what could be a potential deal was presented to
3:24 am
him. it didn't involve everyone in that room. it involved some of the more moderate republicans who don't necessarily reflect the view of the party at large. the white house has been consistent since december that they did not want to do immigration tied with appropriations. that's been the party line for more than a month now. that they weren't interested in -- there's no policy reason to couple it to because daca doesn't expire until march. >> that is where people get it wrong. it might not expire until march, but these kids have to go through a process that takes about a month and a half in order to get your permission so that you are not deported. anybody who says these daca kids will be okay until march, there's going to be nothing that's going to happen to them -- they don't know a d.r.e.a.m.er. they don't know the angst that these kids wake up with every night in a cold sweat thinking that they could be deported tomorrow. when the presidential talks about a bill of love, i'm sorry, he's full of it.
3:25 am
he keeps talking about he wants to do something for his d.r.e.a.m.ers -- he doesn't want to do anything for these d.r.e.a.m.ers. and this is where i think people get this notion that, first of all, you can't trust anything that comes out of his mouth, number one. two, he's clueless on when it comes to policy. we saw that in the meeting, as well. >> we've got to take a break. stay with us. the president ran as a dealmaker. but as the clock struck midnight with no deal, the government shutdown started. we're in the seventh hour now. what happened to the art of the deal? when a cold calls... achoo! ...answer it. with zicam cold remedy. it shortens colds, so you get better, faster. colds are gonna call. answer them with zicam! zicam. get your better back. now in delicious fruit drops.

3:30 am
i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. one year after the president took the oath of office, the federal government has shut down now. >> yep, happiy e happened at mi both sides blamed one another. the white house calls democrats obstructionist losers. the president, he's up and tweeting this morning. here's the latest tweet -- "democrats are far more concerned with illegal immigrants than they are with our great military or safety and our dangerous southern border. they could have easily made a deal but decided to play shutdown politics instead. #weneedmorerepublicansin18in ordertopowerthroughmess." the talks will continue today. the house is back in a few hours, the senate back at noon. >> the question is, can the white house avoid blame here? cnn political commentators maria cardo cardona, democratic strategist, jack kingston, former senior adviser for the trump twain. eugene scott, political reporter for the "washington post." and sara westwood, white house
3:31 am
correspondent for the "washington examiner." do we have the sound byte of president trump, then citizen-trump in 2013, talking about the 2013 shutdown? it so, let's run what he said about where the blame lies. this is what he said several years ago -- okay. i apologize. we do not have that. but he basically said, look, the president is at the top of the hierarchy here. and he's the one to blame. he is now the president. with that said, jack, a shutdown's a shutdown. who is going to object asia the blame -- >> i think if the president was guilty of vetoing a funding bill, vetoing a daca compromise, then i think he would be to blame. in this case, the house sent a bill to the senate. the senate has not moved on the bill. so the government shut down. you have to have democrat and republican votes to get to 60. i think -- i frankly think he has a really powerful message
3:32 am
which cnn polling reflects. that 56% of the american people polled believe that keeping the government open is more important than immediate deal on daca. you got three weeks to deal with daca. even if you just extended that, you actually have until march. there's no -- there's no threat of them being deported in the meantime. i think that's kind of -- >> you don't know any d.r.e.a.m.ers, do you? >> clearly -- >> that's easy for somebody to say who isn't affected by it. we know that these people are struggling horribly every day with the feeling that they're going to be deported. jack -- >> no, let me say this -- we've got hyperbole. let's realize -- >> true. >> number one, the d.r.e.a.m.ers are a smaller bracket than most of these kids who came in here and had a deferred -- >> talking almost a million people. >> there's actually -- >> more than 800,000 -- >> there's three million people who fall into the daca category. >> yes. >> where are you only worried about less than a million -- >> hundreds of them are losing their protection every day. >> the democrats, when they had
3:33 am
the majority, they did not do anything about the dreamers. >> here we go. see -- >> this is the big issue. >> that betrays the complete interest in doing something -- >> if you want to do something, you go to the president, you pass a deal out of the senate that's going to require 60 votes. the president then can veto it, and then it can be the son of a gun that you're making him out to be. he's not there because all he's asking for now is until you get a deal to me, why not keep the government up and -- why not put military families, children's health care in front of non-american non-americans? >> if republicans were so concerned about the children's health care -- >> thank you, that's where i was going. >> -- why wasn't this funded 3.5 months ago when at the end of the fiscal year? was this saved just to use it as a chip, to use the -- >> i think -- let's remember, maria, children's health care was started under bush. it was passed by republicans when we were in the majority in the house. don't act like -- >> this has nothing to do with where we are now. >> it's a program that republicans started. so it's not like republicans why
3:34 am
-- >> why didn't you fund it when you had the chance last year? you decided to go with millionaire and billionaire tax cuts instead -- >> as a former appropriator, there are 112 bills. the -- 12 bills. the house has moved them. the senate hasn't moved them because you need a 60-vote majority. until you get nine democrats who -- >> who controls the senate? who controls the house? who controls the white house? >> 60 votes controls the senate -- >> we have never had a situation where the government shuts down where one party is in the control of the white house, the senate, and the house of representatives. you have several polls that are out there that say that the majority of the blame will go to republicans. i think that is as it should be because they own it, they control everything. >> again, this is the one-year anniversary of my presidency, and the democrats wanted to give me a nice present, #democratshutdown. euge eugene, in the last tweet that happened about 18 minutes ago, there has been a tonal shift
3:35 am
from the president. this bill of love and wanting to care for daca recipients that we heard in at least the most recent weeks. now saying that democrats are more concerned with illegal immigrants. at least framing daca recipients in a different way. >> yeah. i think it's interesting. i think initially the president was getting some pushback from some people within his base who did not like how he was talking about immigrants. we saw some evangelical leaders who vote for trump. we saw some other conservatives ask him to be more compassionate because this is an issue that most republicans would like to see a solution be arrived at. i think in this moment right now, i think with the president who has previously said that it's the president's fault and responsibility in a shutdown happens he's aware if he doesn't put out a message that says it's the democrats who did this, that people are going to blame him. i think everyone knows that when
3:36 am
2018 midterms happen, people will point to this as something that wasn't effective. >> any indication that they'll get through this by monday? >> i don't know that negotiating over the weekend is going to help. not even all of the house members will be back in washington. i think going back to the tonal shift from president trump, i think that's a recognition that this a powerful argument against the democrats. gwen, not all the poll -- again, not all the polling shows that people will broadly blame the republicans. largely the party in charge gets claim bla blamed. when you look at this situation, there are nuances that lend themselves to the democrats being bearing blame. the situation is more complicated. to say that democrats withheld votes to protect undocumented immigrants at the expense of millions of children who could have been covered by c.h.i.p. >> 37% blame blame democrats,
3:37 am
21% for the president. because it's the first time we're seeing one party in control of the white house, both chambers of congress, i think what maria put together was the 21 and 26 making that 47%. we'll talk more about the interpretation of the numbers. stay with us. we've got more to discuss. so we sent that sample i doff to ancestry. i was from ethnically. my ancestry dna results are that i am 26% nigerian. i am just trying to learn as much as i can about my culture. i put the gele on my head and i looked into the mirror and i was trying not to cry. because it's a hat, but it's like the most

three points ahead of russia. the u.s. rating down nearly 20 points from the 48% approval rating the last year of president obama's administration. >> maria and jack are back with us. jack, the president has said that the world will respect us again. they will stop laughing at us. the world -- america will be respected in the world's eyes. 18 points in one year behind germany and china and just three points ahead of russia. >> first of all, my friend maria probably loves the results of the poll and i don't like the results of it, my first question would be, what was the polling, and -- and the other thing is -- >> 1,000 people each in 134 countries. >> who was the demographic? how was the question asked? just saying that's always -- -- let's look at, this our relationship with israel is now restored, broken under barack obama. never has been stronger. our cooperation with china is off the chart. very strong, and a tentative time with north korea. our standing down on north korea, i think it's important. nato countries, our allies,
3:43 am
finally paying their fair share. moving troops up to the baltic states which is very important and worries russia. isis going -- losing 98% of their territory. i think on the world stage we're doing really well. and by the way, the reason why we're being so successful with isis right now is we're not trying to control troop movements out of washington, d.c. we're teal lettiactually lettin military experts call the shots. i had the honor of representing five military installation in georgia. that was one of the biggest things troops had a problem with were the rules of engagement. so i think in terms of respect, you're not going to get everything you want, but as long as america's first, i think this is what americans have been looking for. >> maria? >> good try, jack. the numbers, i think, speak volumes. when you did have the president during the campaign say we're not going to have other countries laugh at us anymore. we're going to be, like you said, so respected in the world, people are going to look up to us. people don't look up to us.
3:44 am
people see this president as a joke and as an embarrassment. americans see this president as an embarrassment because the way he acts on the world stage. he doesn't act presidential. he doesn't act the part of commander in chief of the most powerful country in the world. we are seeing that with these numbers. more practically, what really worries me is that in the race for america first, we are actually ceding, we are ceding our leadership in the world to people or to countries like china, one of our biggest if not our biggest comet competitor, guess what happened when we withdrew from the trade agreements. guess what happened when we withdrew from the climate change agreement -- china stepped in. china is taking charge. people are looking to china economically because nay knthey that the united states under a president trump cannot be depended upon to be the global leader the way they were before. >> okay.
3:45 am
so where, jack, do we take it to get the numbers back up? because it's important. we have issues like terrorism and complicaeconomic issues thao be dealt with with other countries. we talk about making america great again, making it proud again, safe again. america can't always do it by themselves. >> no. i frankly think consistency in foreign policy is important. that was one of the problems we had under barack obama when he said "don't cross the red line," and they crossed it, and nothing happened. i think with trump what you're seeing is when he's said that, he's launched tomahawk missiles into syria, for example, following through on what he said. i think what he's doing is the right thing in terms of foreign policy. i would say this -- as a fair-minded american to my democrat friend here, if we're really that concerned about russia interference in the american elections, is it wide to do all the dirty laundry publicly? should not that be done a little bit quietly and say, look, democrat or republican, we've got a problem right now with
3:46 am
russia interfering with our elections. we need to settle it behind closed doors -- >> jack, we have a few minutes left. i have to press you on consistency in foreign policy. considering we've seen secretary of state secretary of state say something, engage north korea specifically, and then the president tweet out "don't waste your time, rex," i want to play something that the secretary of state actually in a conversation with a previous secretary of state at stanford, condoleezza rice, when he talked about the president's tweets and what they mean for foreign policy. >> i don't even have a twitter account that i can follow what he's tweeting. my stuff usually prints his tweets and hands them to me. it allows me to think about how do we take that into -- if it's a foreign policy issue, what is it he's tweeting about? he do we take that and use it? >> consistency, is that the way that's supposed to work? >> i think it's part of it.
3:47 am
we have the six-nation framework that we're trying to restart. underneath the rhetoric which kim jong-un and donald trump are having properly, i believe that it's proper that the secretary of state not just directly with south korea and than but also with north korea -- >> i'm talking about the relationship with the president where he has to watch the twitter account to learn what the united states foreign policy is? >> i think the relationship is very strong. i think the communication is very strong. i think what he's saying -- >> even after the "effing moron comment" and "i'd beat you in an i.q. test"? >> we don't know that -- >> we did know that the president said he'd beat him in an i.q. test. >> yeah. >> i think what's important here is to be able to engage the six-nation talks again. that has been derailed. tillerson is trying to get it going again. i think the ability to go to north korea through allies and say as you can see, president trump is very hard-line, tough on here, as is your leader.
3:48 am
