just about 7:00 a.m. on a saturday. so grateful to have your company as always. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good saturday to you. we are live in washington where despite last-minute negotiations and huddles and votes the government is shut down for the first time in more than four years. the art of the deal, the president could not reach the deal with democrats and a few republicans. a few hours ago, they marked the one-year anniversary of his presidency by rejecting a budget bill. >> the president is reacting on twitter this morning, as well, saying democrats "could have easily made a deal but decided to play shutdown politics instead." >> cnn's ryan nobles is live on capitol hill. we've learned that some lawmakers are expected back on the nhill in a couple of hours. >> reporter: that's right. they will return and gavel into session at around 9:00 a.m. this

morning. at around 10:00, house republicans and democrats will go their separate ways and have conversations behind closed doors about what to do next. the big moment comes at noon. that's when the senate gavels back in. the ball's in the senate's court. they're the ones that have to take the next move because the house has passed a short-term spending plan. the question is can the senate gather the 60 votes necessary to do that themselves. at this point, that doesn't seem possible. in fact, listen to what was talked about last night on the senate floor before the shutdown went into effect. >> 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 undering you, please take yes for -- 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. >> reporter: and you can tell just from the back and forth there between senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and minority leader chuck schumer this is a blame game. there doesn't appear to be an effort to begin the hard-core negotiating that is necessary to come up with a grand bargain. in fact, what is likely to happen today is a conversation about another continuing resolution that will be a bit of a short-term fix to this problem. instead of a month-long continuing resolution, one that would end around february 8th, this is a deal being floated by senator lindsey graham. in fact, lindsey graham was among a group of senators who voted no yesterday. it was both republicans and democrats who flipped sides. there was a group of four republicans who said they were not going to support the continuing resolution. then a group of five democrats

all from trump-friendly states who say they could support the continuing resolution. this is a republican for republicans and democrats. and there's a lot of talking that needs to be done today if there's any hope of this government shutdown ending any time soon. >> appreciate it so much, sir. thank you. president trump tweeting this morning about the shutdown, four tweets within the past hour, blaming democrats for the political panic on capitol hill. >> cnn's white house correspondent abby phillip with us live. the white house came out initially with strong language. the president doing the same again this morning. >> reporter: that's right. the president waking up in this building behind me with a government shutdown on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration when he thought he would be in florida at his mar-a-lago resort celebrating. instead he tweeted noting his inauguration anniversary today calling it a nice present from the democrats. he says, "this is the one-year

anniversary of my presidency. depends wanted to give me a nice present." he went on to talk about the fact that he thinks the shutdown proves the need for more republicans in congress. he wrote, "for those asking, the republicans only have 51 votes in the senate. and they need 60. that's why we need to win more republicans in 2018 election. we can be even tougher on crime and border and even better to our military and veterans." sarah huckabee sanders last night channelled a little bit of president trump's anger and frustration about the situation with some trumpian language. she called it the "sumer shutdown." and said "tonight they put politics ahead of our military families, vulnerable children, and our country's ability to serve all americans. wee 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

legislators." obstructionist losers, the kind of name-calling we typically see on president trump's twitter feeds. after the talks between senate democrats, senate democratic leader chuck schumer and president trump failed to produce any kind of deal yesterday, it is not clear whether we are going to restart any negotiations today. the white house is putting their foot down. they do. not want to talk about immigration. they only -- they do not want to talk about immigration. they only want to fund the white house. and our economics analyst and former trump economic adviser. cnn political analyst and deputy public washington bureau chief. cnn political commentator and hillary clinton's former presidential campaign manager, and andre bauer, cnn political commentator and former lieutenant governor of south carolina. got it all out. welcome, everybody. glad to have you here. want to listen real quickly to president trump, then citizen-trump, in 2013 when the government shut down and who he said then was to blame.

>> the president in all fairness, he's the leader. he's the one who needs to get it done. they're not talking about boehner and reid. they're talking about president obama and the disaster the administration was. he has pressure to get in problem solved. he's got a big problem. >> andre, does president trump have a big problem? does this sit on his shoulders? >> it does some some ways. he's missing the opportunity not to be talking about so many accomplishments in the last year. i walked by where we broadcast last year this very day and thought about how exciting it was to see him take over. he's had a lot of victories. the fact that we're not talking about the victories hurts him. i don't know what he could have done any different. he sat down with schumer yesterday. they tried to work out a deal, didn't sound like schumer wanted a deal. may well be a smart move on the democrats to not have people talking about the accomplishments of the trump administration for the first year but instead talking about a government shutdown.

tactically it would be a good move. >> you think that the democrats did this to avoid the subject of the positivity that could come out -- >> so much is done in washington that's not about the people, that's about politics. it's not why i believe the president said we need more republicans. i think we need term limits. i think we need all of them to know this is a part-time job, not for a long, long time. part of the brig problem is everyone is posturing about re-election. i saw it when i served in elected houses in both houses and the executive branch. people make the decision on what's best for me in the next election and not what's best for the people i represent. i think you saw that yesterday. >> the latest poll numbers show as compared to funding the government, daca comes in at a priority at 34% of the respondents. funding the government is 56%. do these numbers work for the democrats in drawing the line on

pre protections for daca recipients? >> i think, first of all, i think daca is very important we have 700,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers who basically don't know what the future holds for them. they are living in great angst. but the republicans had every chance to fund the government. they control the house. they control the senate. they control the presidency. this is their fundamental job of congress is to funds the government. and they haven't been able to do it. we've been, you know, working on c.r. after c.r. after c.r. for the democrats, i think it is about daca, but it's also about disaster relief, also about c.h.i.p., also about military, also about funding the government. the republicans haven't been able to get that done on a permanent level, on a two-year budget deal. >> matt, i think people are waking up saying, look, both

parties knew this was coming. they knew what the deadline was. why is it they cannot come to n some agreement when you talk about government employees -- some people living paycheck to paycheck, why when you know this is on the horizon you can't come to an agreement? >> it's striking and ridiculous, frankly. everyone knew the issues, where the sticking points were for weeks leading up to this. the republicans knee that daca was a big -- knew that daca was a big deal for democrats, and they knew they had to win over democrats on this. it wasn't a secret they could not do this alone. democrats, this is their one point of leverage in a minority is -- is to use the budget, frankly. to have that. and president trump had that big meeting a week ago to sort of set the stage for negotiations around daca and around immigration. so you know, congress doesn't operate well without a deadline.

they put all of the sticky discussions until the 11th hour, almost literally. there was very little activity throughout the day. aside from schumer going to the white house. there seemed to be no urgency on part of either party. i think they both felt they had waning hand heading into last night. now is the question of does either party have a winning hand here. >> and looking forward, we know that senator graham was excited about this potential for a three-week continuing resolution, although they couldn't get the votes for 30 days. why would he be optimistic that he could peel off a few more red state democrats to support three weeks when they wouldn't support 30 days? i mean, is that a fool's errand? >> look, i thought that cooler heads would prevail last night, and they would get some kind of deal to keep the government -- this is silly. this is stupid. the good news, this will have zero impact on people's lives

because it's a weekend, and it's only nonessential services of government that are affected. this does come down to the immigration issue. 's not fair to say -- it's not fair to say republicans can keep the government open. the democrats filibustered the budget in the senate yesterday which required 60 votes. you're right, republicans have 50 votes. they don't have 60. so unless they can get ten democrats to come over, the government was going to shut down. it's interesting on the politics of this that the three democrats in the senate who voted with trump and the republicans were the three democrats that are in the most vulnerable seats in indiana and west virginia and the heidi hyde camp in north dakota. i think the democrats understand te politics might not be on their side in this. one last point. you said should we open the government for three days, three weeks, four weeks, six weeks. we're still going to ultimately come down to the issue about what to do about the immigration issue.

and there is a big divide. republicans are essentially saying until you help build the wall and until you participate in border security, daca isn't going to happen. democrats i think are vulnerable on the charge that they are weak on border security. >> senate schumer said he put the wall on the agendas with the president. stay with us. much more to discuss. hundreds of thousands of workers, billions of dollars will be felt far and wide. >> how tell affect you? we'll talk about it coming up. mom, i have to tell you something. dad, one second i was driving and then the next... they just didn't stop and then... i'm really sorry. i wrecked the subaru.

i wrecked it. you're ok. that's all that matters.

correspondent, christine romans, is trying to answer all that for you. >> reporter: the last shutdown in 2013 cost the u.s. $24 billion. that was 16 days. this time around, forecasts put the price tag at about $6 billion per week. federal workers will feel it right away. during a shutdown, most federal agencies close. hundreds of thousands of workers will be furloughed or take leave without pay. but that's not all federal workers. those deemed essential, they still work. air traffic controllers, law enforcement, national security, federal court staff. but they won't be paid until after the shutdown ends. what about the u.s. military, the biggest loser according to president trump? good news, the troops have already been paid for january. it would be a prolonged shutdown that would hurt them. a problem wouldn't be realized until really february 1st. and you still get your social security check. that program is mandatory. your mail would still be delivered on time. the postal service keeps running. you could get a new passport, but move quickly. funding will run out if the

shutdown drags on. you're out of luck if you plan to vacation to a national park, museum, or moumnument at least first. tax-funded sites will be closed. the donald trump is looking to keep limited access where possible. who does get paid during a shutdown? those who have constitutional duties like the president, the supreme court, why ayes, and me of congress who can't agree on how to fund the government. cnn, new york. >> thank you very much. our panel is back. i want to remind everyone the basic narrative of a trump presidency. there is candidate trump during the campaign explaining how he will be different from every other president in bringing people together. watch. >> i'm going to make the great deals. i am going to make great deals for our country. i built an extraordinary business with relationships and deals that benefit all parties involved always. i make deals. i negotiate. everybody wants me to negotiate.

that's what i'm known as, a negotiator. i'm anxious to negotiate. nobody can outnegotiate these deals. i will make a great deal and lots of great deals for the american people. we don't make great deals anymore, but we will once i become president. >> steven to you, not only did the president here not negotiate the deal to avoid the government shutdown, during that meeting two tuesdays ago, he outsourced the dealmaking to the people at the table and said talk amongst yourksz bring it back, i'll -- yourselves, bring it back, i'll sign it. >> sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make. and a bad deal is authoworse th deal at all. imthink that's how the white house and conservatives feel about. this you mentioned the meeting, what, ten days, two weeks ago. i think trump made a mistake at that meeting, said just give me a package, i'll sign it. a lot of conservatives like myself said, wait a minute, what's in the deal matters a lot. immigration policy which is really what's caused this impasse is maybe the most

important issue to the future of our country. who are we going to allow in as a citizen, what will they be eligible for if we legalize these illegal immigrants, can they bring in family members? can they become a citizen? will they be eligible for all sorts of government programs? fun of those issues have been resolved yet. it's important we get this right rather than rush into a decision. >> why does immigration have to be taxed to this? >> good question. >> let me ask you that, matt. >> well -- i think, again, it's -- democrats are pushing that. i think that it is their leverage point to get that issue on the table. otherwise, it's not being brought up. it's not something that republicans right now are really pursuing. i think that's why they're tying daca to the budget deal -- >> they feel like they have to. >> democrats have negotiated in good faith time and time again on this issue. from that meeting, you know, the senator said -- >> senator graham, senate durbin in. they went and came up with a

deal. they gave concession that's i'm actually not happy with. but democrats gave concessions on chain migration, the lottery system, they gave them a down payment on his wall which really is kind of stupid. >> are they going to funds the wall -- >> schumer talked about put the wall on the table yesterday. and then trump pulls the rug out from under them time and time again. and even -- so after they talked to the president in the meeting which was televised and the president gloated saying i got messages from lawmakers telling me what a great dealmaker i am, durbin called and lindsey graham called and said "i think we have a deal." trump said, "great, come on over." that was it 10:00. by noon, it had fallen apart, why? >> the president -- >> let me make one quick point. you know how long we've been debating the issue of daca? 15 years. >> not going to be solved in 30

days, right. >> right. >> that's my point. by the way, democrats, as i recall, back when barack obama was president, they had 60 votes in the senate. they had a majority in the house. they had a democrat in the president. they could have done this eight years ago. so i mean, the idea that somehow we've got to rush to make this decision now, we have to shut down the government, i think that's rirk douse -- >> the deadline was cleared by the president, right? when he said "i'm going to rescind dakotas ascend to you, deadline march," that was created by the president. >> what he ought to do is say, look, nobody's going to get deported. we're going to settle the issue. i agree with you. i think the idea of deporting anyone or arresting someone at this point before we get this resolved is a mistake. >> andre, you know what the president wants? >> i do not. but i think -- >> that seems like a fundamental element of negotiation. >> he ran on building a wall. he ran on border security. so many folks like myself have is even even in the reagan years when we said we'll let this group in, as well, so it's been president after president, at some point there's a lot of us

who feel like we need a true -- i mentioned before i'd like to walk on augusta national and play golf. i haven't been invited, and they're not going to let me jump over the fence and do it. there are borders. when i came up here, i had to go through security, and i was voted. everybody who comes into this country should be voted. like all of us citizens, when we come back -- >> i understood. some of those elements were part of the framework taken to the president thursday, right? some of those elements were discussed, at least senator schumer said they were in the meeting yesterday in the oval office. what does the president want? what is his starting point? what is the herea the dollar amount i want, here's the number of visa lottery spaces i wanted eliminated? is there all 50,000, does he want the 18 billion for the next ten years up front in any legislation? what is his starting point? mel brooks couldn't answer it. mitch membcconnell couldn't ans it -- >> i would love to be a part of the meetings. i think it's an overall thing.

i think with trump if you gave him one thing and said we're going to funds $50 million for the wall, i think he would give and take. i think part of the art of the deal, he's a business guy like iage. if you give some -- i am. if you give some, you're willing to take some. that's part of saying, okay, i'm getting this much, i'm not getting everything, but i feel like we're making steps toward building the wall, cutting down on the gripz issimmigration iss. i don't see movement toward substantially reducing illegal immigration. >> listen, there is the thing -- we're 2.5 hours away from the house meeting. we are -- wean th know that the senate will meet at noon and try to reconcile as soon as possible. how do you start that conversation? steven, when they sit down, where do you start based on where you have been for last 48 hours? >> on the immigration issue -- >> where do you start to get that done? >>ize the

federal government and close the -- >> did that rule apply in 2013? >> the party that usually takes the blame -- i've lived through five or six shutdowns, i go back to the '80s. this is a blame game thing. the party if -- if the democrats didn't want the shutdown, they could have allowed the budget to go through. my point is, yes, let's -- i'm pro immigration. i think it's critical we solve this, and let the immigrants in who are beneficial to our country. you don't do it under a gun. it's the wrong way to do immigration policy. >> matt, you -- >> i don't think there's any way that immigration gets solved as part of this. i think the most immediate thing for both sides is to reopen the government now with some kind of parameters for how to deal with immigration. >> with an agreement in place -- >> something of a timeline. trump, getting back to the earlier discussion where you don't know where he stands on

this stuff. you could see that in realtime during the meeting that he had ten days ago where -- pass a clean daca bill. then the daca bill paired with security, but then we'll get the comprehension and then -- >> yeah. >> the majority leader had to jump in. >> you could even see him agreeing with dianne feinstein until kevin mccarthy chimes in. he is flexible which in some cases is welcome. you know, by everyone. he can be convinced. it's patty point about the two hours, he was convinced kind of with durbin and graham. then somebody else got to him, and he's unconvinced. >> we've got to take a break. thank you very much for being with us. steven, patty, andre, stay with us. exactly a year into donald trump's presidency, the government is shut down for the first time since 2013. >> we'll look back at the highlights of the first year of the trump administration and look ahead to what's to come. it's absolute confidence in 30,000 precision parts.

21 minutes to the top of the hour. president trump during this first year in office has taken full credit for growth in the stock market, the highs we've seen, unemployment numbers sinking, as well. how much of the trend can be directly traced to the president and the policies he supported? let's bring our panel back. we've got steven moore, cnn economics analyst, former trump economic adviser. patty solis doyle, democratic strategist, cnn commentator. with us, andre bauer, president trump supporter and former

lieutenant governor of south carolina. welcome back, everybody. let's start first with the big economic number that the president pushes as often as he's in front. a camera. unemployment numbers down. we're seeing heights in the stock market. we saw that at the speech in pennsylvania. why aren't we seeing that narrative from the president? he was praised for that tone, for that type of speech instead of the tweets that we've seen over the last year. why aren't we seeing that president we saw in kariopolis? >> he continues to evolve. there are days like so many in this world he's happy. there are days when he's frustrated. he has tried it both ways. he's tried to embrace the other side and work with them. and he's had small victories and seen the pushback of folks that fought him on things that he felt were more than reasonable. at the end of the day, i think he gets a lot of credit for more than anything this guy is a businessman. he's come in and changed how

washington is operating. no matter what numbers you look at, they're astounding. african-american unemployment. people off of food stamp rolls, the stock market, no matter what barometer you use now, i can tell you, my personal business last year, i did better last year than i did the previous ten years which is astounding. unbelievable. the -- you've got a guy that understands business first and foremost running the country. >> patty, i saw you shaking your head. >> first of all, i think the argument can be that he inherited an economy that was clearly on the uptick. president obama inherited an economy that was in a deep recession. the greatest recession since the depression. i think he gets credit because he's been in office for a year and the economy is doing well, unemployment is going down. he inherited an economy on the uptick. i think the reason his approval is historically low -- >> 40%, the latest poll. >> i think the reason he cents get the credit is because -- he

doesn't get the credit is because we're talking about as whole countries, fine people on both sides who were this charlottesville, we're talking about the russia investigation. he cannot help himself but say divisive and hate fful things a really put our democracy under assault on a constant basis. people are tired. i saw the year in review for the montage you guys did, the year in review, and i was exhausted looking at it. we are fatigued by the president. >> we heard the laugh a couple of seconds ago from andre when patty said president obama deserves a significant amount of credit for the economic conditions right now. but the american people seem to agree the latest gallup polling shows that when you ask americans who deserves the credit for what's happening now, 49% of them say combined here, a great deal in moderate amount,

say president trump deserves that. when you go to president obama, people say 56% say that this is the result of improvements made by president obama. >> yeah. and i think -- i think you nailed it actually. i think part of the problem -- economic news is sensational. record stock market, record low unemployment. business confidence, investor confidence, great. we saw the apple news. it's all really, really good. trump, you're exactly right. trump has a way of walking on -- stomping on his own headlines and saying crazy things. if he's going to be more successful in a second year, he has to -- maybe just shut up a little bit and let these results speak for themselves. look, i think the reason that people are attributing the economic success to obama, look, he gets some credit. it's true, the economy was growing when trump came in. people have a more positive opinion of barack obama right now than trump. i would add one other thing.

if the economy continues to roll on over the next year, then as you get deeper into his presidency, he's get more credit. >> when we look ahead at midterms, if the economy is still doing so well and stylistically, as jack kingston said, you know, he just is not particularly eloquent, he sabotages himself to some degree when something's going well and he detours the conversation, are people willing to overlook that for the money, andre? >> there was an argument this year as to whether people were really going to see a difference in their paycheck. were they really going to get a tax break? the individuals can't figure out if they'll get it or not. there are pro-form as that say -- when they get that, they'll say proof in the pudding. republicans and president trump delivered. they'll see the difference and say, wait, we have improved. my paycheck has improved. you see the companies coming

back -- i don't know how president obama, all due respect, should get any of the credit with companies saying i'm coming back because of what do you to change policy. there's no way to equate one with the other. when the president or the ceo of apple says we're coming back, and he's not even a fan of the president because of what you would in policy, this is why you bring new jobs back to our country, the republicans will be able to own that 2018. i don't know how you argue that any other way but the fact that they passed a comprehensive tax reform bill that has been talked about for decades. and it was argued by the other side. it was only going to help the rich. but at the end of the day, the hard working people of this country, almost all, going to feel a difference. >> i think we can put up on the screen at least some of the companies that have announced that they'll be giving bonuses to some employees or investing heavily in the united states. some of the major companies that are doing that. so patty, to andre's point, democrats said that unless you write into the legislation that

the tax breaks that these companies are getting will go to their employees or will go to investment or go to their shareholders. we're seeing that at least from these companies. should democrats be concerned? >> i think what these companies are doing, that's fantastic. we've seen walmart close down, you know, 20 sam's clubs across the country, let go thousands of thousands of people. but to andre's point, we just had a special election in wisconsin last week where democrats flipped a state senate seat that trump won by 17 seats. we won a u.s. senate seat in alabama. >> republicans helped you win that -- >> alabama -- >> the -- the united states senator that is a republican helped the democrats. i mean, i don't think that's a good barometer to use as a win when the republicans weren't supporting it -- >> and virginia where we almost flipped the state legislature there that's been in republican hands for 20 years, new jersey where we've elected women.

in virginia, we elected the first transgender woman. i think that despite the good economy, despite the good economy, president trump is bringing his party way, way down. >> you know, you've been showing a lot of polls. one of the interesting results is when you ask the american people what do you think about the condition of the economy and i think it was a cnn poll, about 66% of americans rate the economy as good or great. that's a dramatic reversal from where we were two or three years ago where, look, when i was working with trump on the campaign, we were looking at the numbers, the number one issue for the american people was jobs and the economy. now that people are feeling good about those, i'm hoping as a trump supporter that if people will go back to what bill clinton said, it's the economy, stupid. >> the advantage for democrats continues to grow even as the unemployment falls -- >> that's exactly right. >> -- as we see new heights for the stock market. how do you explain that? >> because president trump is

bringing his party down. again, with the divisiveness, hatred, assault on our democracy. in this country, we value diversity. it's diversity that makes us better, makes us stronger. and he's -- you know, saying there's good people both sides when the other side is nazis. >> if he could -- this goes back to the previous conversation. if he can pull out a victory on immigration, where all sides feel this is a good compromise, i think, you know, i agree with you. i think that's the problem for the party right now. trump is not popular. that's a huge issue for the economy. i'd love to see him from to a bipartisan agreement on that. boy, would he be heroic. >> is that enough to turn things around for him in terms of his popularity? when you look at he has the lowest number of any president his first year in, how does he remedy that? >> my attitude about donald trump, i've been around him for

two years now, watch what this guy does, not what he says. >> don't they go hand in hand? he's the president. how can you not listen to the president president when he's speaking and tweeting? >> he's got to use his language measure judiciously. and look, i want to see this president unify the country in a way that -- we're polarized now. that's a problem. >> but the polling -- >> any other president in history -- >> in the context of the economy, it seems really risky to tie your political fate to the stock market. unemployment. >> yeah. >> this can turn at any moment. >> and the stock market because it's been so strong for so long, i think every day and go how does it continue at the rate it is, it concerns me a little bit not only from an electoral point but as a business guy. >> you lean toward -- >> i know it can't continue forever. i am concerned. not -- take politics out of it, as an american, i go, how do we

continue to keep this trajectory going? it seems, you know, it can't >> which is why -- >> put your commentator hat back on. as a supporter of the president when he names, what, 60, 80 records since election day, he claims the growth from election day too inauguration which most presidents don't, but if this turns, right, and he says this is the trump boom, the trump growth -- >> all of a sudden the democrats will let him own it like they haven't before. we talked about barack obama. he spent $8 trillion making that happen. this president has cut his staff, he's cut the cost to run the government. if you start looking at republican values, what we preach, a lot of them preach it, but they don't do it . he's actually done it. mick mulvaney, what he is doing to reduce the cost of spending is what i believe in from way

back. >> but also serious questions about the cuts and specifically what are you cutting. cutting two civil rights divisions, specific departments that launched a civil rights commission investigation. no funding request for consumer protections bureau. >> he's cutting his own office. >> that is because he can't get anybody to work for him. >> we have to take a quick break. we'll continue the conversation. thank you all.

be quiet. >> just simply take a pause and say let me take a few deep breaths. showing improvements in anxiety and a sense of panic. >> imagine that you are blowing up a balloon in your belly. and when you release your breath, it is just like releasing air from a balloon. >> when someone is anxious or stressed, their breathing rate gets faster. takes slow deep breaths. the rate of breathing actually goes down. we have a reduction in our blood pressure. we also have reduction in our heart rate. >> you can be anywhere, going to the post office, rather than flipping out about the line, this is an opportunity to relax. it is so handy. it is available 24 hours a day. patrick woke up with back pain.
