what is so objectionable that it's worth holding the entire government hostage? >> negotiating with president trump is like negotiating with jell-o. >> we look petty. we carry more about party flag than the american flag. >> i urge my colleagues here in the house and the senate to make sure we fund this government. >> this is what democracy looks like! woo woo! >> i was a me too. i am aware of all the women who are still in silence! >> i want my girls to feel empowered. >> this year was about directing

that voice to action and that action being what will happen later this year -- the elections. >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> good morning to you. always grateful to see you on a sunday morning. it is -- this morning, don't shoot the messager. we are 30 hours into this government shutdown and still no signs of progress from lawmakers on a deal. >> and those lawmakers, we should note, are still being paid, despite the government shutdown! the same cannot be said for hundreds of thousands of government workers, including military personnel who don't know when they will see the next paycheck. now despite this, after a day, of meetings on capitol hill, the only announcement coming from party leaders are the attacks on one another. >> senate majority leader mitch

mcconnell says democrats created, quote, a hostage situation. minority leader chuck schumer calls dealing with the white house like negotiating with jell-o, that is a quote. both houses in session in just hours from now. >> cnn's abby phillips is live in washington. we will start with lauren fox on capitol hill. lauren, we are starting day two of the shutdown. any indications of a compromise that is going to come to some fruition as it relates to getting the government going again? >> reporter: well, lawmakers are dug in on capitol hill this morning and, so far, no one is blinking. senate majority leader leader mitch mcconnell and minority leader chuck schumer didn't even meet yesterday to find a way out of this mess. instead, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell still plans to bring forward a three-week spending bill and keep the government open and fully fund

the children's health insurance program hoping to get democrats to come around this time but democrats are insisting on immigration negotiations. here is what shumchumer had to . >> do you know what number this is? this is going on six months. they have had a three months cr and one month cr and two-week cr. if we keep kicking the can down the table, your soldiers will be hurt, our children will be hurt, our disaster rye accept yents wi -- recipients will be hurt. everybody will be hurt. if this was the first time they used this cr approach, it would be reasonable. >> lawmakers sat down trying to hammer out a deal and trying to find a way to bring ideas to their leadership and break this government shutdown. of course, no results yet and here is what senator lindsey graham had to say about who will be blamed if both sides of the aisle cannot get it together and find a way out of this

government shutdown. >> i think we look petty, we look that we care more about the party flag than the american flag. i don't know what to tell people. all i can tell them is that there are a lot of men and women in mountain tops and jungles working really hard to keep us safe that are being denied resources because sis a queses jobs, teachers, people in the military, their lives are going to come undone in a matter of weeks, not months, and we're sitting up here blaming each other. >> reporter: we have to say that yesterday, lawmakers were feeling like monday is the real deadline. that is when about 800,000 federal workers will be forced to stay home and the pain of the government shutdown across the country will continue to be

felt. >> lauren fox, thank you so much. >> tomorrow a lot of people who will not be able to go it to work or if they go to work won't be paid and don't know when they will see their next paycheck. abby phillips is at the white house. so many people will be affected. there is the finger point or has been going on for sometime who is responsible. the question who is in charge of this shutdown? >> reporter: yesterday, on the hill, as lauren just pointed out, there was a lot of activity, maybe even spinning in place but here at the white house, it was sort of an exercise in communications and messages about this. yesterday, the white house released some photos of the president on the phone. we know he talked to republican leaders but did not talk to democrats. and also he marked the one-year anniversary of his inauguration but mostly with his communication staff who spent the day out here talking about why democrats are to blame. now there is one person who actually has a job to do over this weekend and that is omb

director mick mulvaney and he talked about that in an appearance yesterday. >> i'm heavily involved with this. the office of budget and management is implementing a shutdown. i found last night who shuts the government down is me -- which is kind of cool! >> that messaging is legality tricky because there are a lot of people coming back waking up on monday morning and not knowing whether they are going to be working or not or receiving a paycheck. at the same time, republicans are pivoting to the blame game phase of this. the republican national committee released a web ad yesterday that blames democrats for the crimes of illegal immigrants. listen. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> translator: that is illegal immigrant that is charged with murdering two police officers. >> kill more of those mother

[ bleep ]. >> reporter: it's pure illegal. stop illegal immigration now. build the wall. democrats who stand in our way! will be complicit and donald trump will keep our families safe! >> it's donald trump. >> reporter: it's so tend a message to democrats and no end in sight for the shutdown and we will wait to see what the white house plans to do today to bring an end to this crisis. >> abby phillips at the white house, thanks. errol louis for spectrum news is with us and as well as a washington examiner's commentator writer and editor. let's listen quickly to what lindsey graham said in full. let's listen. >> there's no defense to what we

are doing. the daca population is very sympathetic in the eyes of the public. the military is beloved in the eyes of the public. most people want to fund the government. the president decided to get the congress six months to finds a daca solution. that was plenty enough time. the president needs to find a deal he can live with and stick with it. i think we look petty. we look that we care more about the party flag than the american flag, and i voted no last night because i think continuing this madness for 30 days is too much. now that i got a commitment by the leader that we are going to take up immigration, which is a major move in the right direction, i feel february the 8th is an appropriate time. i don't know what to tell people. all i can tell them is that there are a lot of young men and women in mountain tops and

jungles working really hard to keep us safe that are being denied resources because the people jobs in the military and their lives are going to come undone in a matter of weeks, not months, and we're sitting up here blaming each other. only thing i can tell you point of view when politicians blame each other in the eye of the public good luck to. >> he said now that i got a commitment by the leader we are going to take up immigration i feel february 8th is an appropriate time. he is signaling, just to clarify, a commitment on immigration debate in the senate regardless of opposition?

>> he told him the leader told him that is going to happen. whether that goes down, you really can't say. the reality is for that to have any meaning you have to keep in mind it's not just the majority leader mcconnell who would determine it. he could calendar it but the reality is chuck schumer and the democrats have to be involved. these are 60 vote margins by which you have to make these things happen and unless there is a full and true conversation, we are back where we started and where we are right now, where you have a government shutdown. you have an undone or unfinished at least netincomplete daca arrangement that nobody seems to like and the white house in the wings watching what happens. lindsey graham, i think, has shown a side of him that probably a lot of us have watched him for years you never saw before which is somebody swho a reasonable q what a reasonable guy and adult in the roone. reasonable being defined as

something that leaves everybody a little bit unhappy. >> sirrage we know that mcconnell ask hoping to get a vote around 1:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. most likely on this proposal by graham and fund the government until february 8th and reauthorize the children's health insurance program and give money to states for people recovering from storms, and promise to hold votes on an immigration deal. what is the plausiblity of this happening and what position does it put the president? >> we have no idea having the democrats whip up the votes to at least vote for this measure. you have to remember the 60-vote margin it differs from reconciliation rules which only needs 51 votes and why you saw so many laws passed in the past year. what we did see, though, is this is basically sowing the seeds of distrust in washington. there is no one to really -- who

gains or wins from this. pretty much everyone loses. what we are seeing from democrats who are trying to stuff nonspending measures into a spending bill by daca and via chip, the things the republicans have given away on chip' and conceded that but daca, this dug-in kind of trench-like war fare we are seeing like world war i trying to get this moved through. i can see this happen at least another week. >> yeah. is a vow, errol, to deal with immigration later, is it believable? are there assurances that need to be tied to that? >> the democrats don't believe that that is a good faith effort and that is why the government is shut down right now. daca was supposed to conspiexpi march and there were people kind of falling out of the program on a daily basis, it wasn't going to really hit critical mass for

another month or so. what the democrats basically have signaled they are not going to wait for that month to come. they are not going to let that come down to the wire and sort of plant their feet in the sand and say herein no further. as a negotiating stance, it makes perfect sense. as a political reality, it brings us right to where we are. it says we are going to do today what republicans were sort of angling to have as a debate at the end of february. >> siraj, if either side bends here, whether it be republican or democrat, if either side bends and something can come to fruition so people can go to work and get paid tomorrow, are they seen as heroes or are they seen as weak? >> i think if anyone bends, it's going to be establishment republicans who will concede on at least trying to vote for a spending measure to at least fund the government. remember, this is a partial shutdown so there are still people getting paid in all of

this, but with respect to the military, with respect to chip, with respect to the federal employees that are furl furlou h furloughed you'll see a few come to the other side. democrats have nothing to lose in terms of the votes when it comes to the midterm elections. this is a pony show to get the voters' attention come november and i can see the democrats keeping their foot in the sand and saying this is where we draw the line. >> thank you, both. >> who is to blame, it depends on which side you ask, of course. jake tapper is going to do that. senators rand paul and bernie sanders are with him to weigh in at 9:00 a.m. eastern on "state of the union." while the government is locked in this stalemate over the shutdown, vice president pence is on his middle east tour

>> jared curb ner does not have full security clearance. some have said if it were not fr his family ties to the president, he probably wouldn't be able to work in the white house. cnn national security analyst is joining us now and she served under two presidents and member of a national security council during the obama administration. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> no full clearance for a senior official has a lot on his plate. the second of everything as he has been referred to here. what does this tell us about what the fbi thinks of kushner and why this is taking so long? >> let's just be clear about something up front. this is not normal. this is highly unprecedented. because of his rank, jared kushner's clearance would have been expedited and prioritized because of the hefty issues the president has asked him to work on so this is not a question of the community not paying attention to his application. let's also be clear on the fact

that jared kushner is an ideal foreign intelligence target. he hat access, he hat influence and frankly the inexperience that makes him ideal target for foreign intelligence services like china and russia. clearances observe get held up because the investigating agency has questions. there are gaps. often this relates to some kind of secret. so this could be anything from a gambling debt or an affair or drug use to undisclosed or misreported contacts with foreign country, a foreign official, financial transactions undisclosed or misreported, or any kind of secret that a foreign intelligence service could use against that person to try to get information or to influence policy. >> so this is interesting just in the overnight hours. president trump retweeted a tweet from the prime minister of israeli, benjamin netanyahu, and here is what it says.

what does it say to you that we have a prime minister of israeli publicly thanking jared kushner? does it give more credence to the work that he is doing in light of all the criticism that comes to him? >> i don't think it does. i think that experience matters and i think that is particularly rel ve reven relevant when we look at the middle east crisis. it's clear the united states has been shut out of the peace process and this isn't going well. i think it's always positive to bring in fresh eyes, but based upon the halt in the peace process, it's clear that this is not going well and we know that jared kushner, for either -- as a result of negligence, ineptitude, or some other kind of malign intent, frankly has

made a lot of foreign intelligence errors. he has met with foreign officials and these are all very concerning and, in my opinion, i think that it is entirely appropriate for congress to insist, congress oversight over the intelligence community that jared kushner for longer has access to the pdb or top secret compartmentalized secrets unless he has full clearance. >> republicans on the house intelligence committee are considering releasing classified memo you maybe seen on twitter, release a -- >> thanks to russia, i have, yes. >> yes, okay. which republicans, you know, say that details the fbi, abuses, surveillance programs, should the public see that? >> i think it's a hard no for me. i think that if there are allegations of abuse of pfizer or any other intelligence mechanism, congress has oversight mechanisms and

certainly should be investigated in a bipartisan way but not what this is. this is somebody writing a memo, sharing it with members of his party, and not allowing members on the other side of the aisle to call up witnesses, to corroborate information, and to see if any of the accusations are accurate and there is a reason why russian trolls and russian bots have been retweeting the release the memo hash tag and wikileaks is offering a reward and that releasing the memo would cause confusion among the american public. releasing the memo at this time would send the american public and conspiracy down a rabbit hole. >> thank you for your insight. >> thank you. as the women's march returns to washington and really cities

hundreds of thousands of women are back on the strots in cities across the weekend for the second year of the women's march. this time they march in the middle of the me too movement. at a time when the political power of women is being better understood and appreciated, women have been pivotal in recent elections. back women, especially. look at these numbers. 98% of black women back democrat doug jones in alabama. he is now senator doug jones.

91% went for ralph northam and he is now governor. we are here with city clerk, a small business owner, a college student, assembly line worker at ford. a diverse group of black women. when you look at the elections in virginia and alabama specifically, black women supported the democrat and lifted those candidates. white women majority votes for the republican candidates. what do you think when you hear those differences? >> we are supporting those candidates that support what we think is important, that support health care for everyone, that supports a free public quality education. these are things that are important to black women.

equal work, equal pay, opportunity, career opportunities. real career opportunities for our men, our brothers, our sons. >> i think these elections with doug jones in virginia show us that your vote actually really does matter, so hopefully, we take this phenomenal example and carry that momentum into the midterm elections. >> do you think the democratic party takes your votes for granted? >> yes. >> i don't think any longer. i think they are learning. >> oh, yeah. i think now. but i think before hillary, they did, they took for granted that black women were going to vote for democrats, as well as i think they felt that women just, period, so i think that after -- after 2016 election, it really has waken up democrats. really has waken them up to realize we need to be talking to the black women. we need to because they are the ones who vote and whereas vice versa in white homes where the husband makes the decision and the wife follows. but in black women, usually,

they are the bread winner. they ared head of their house so they are making decisions so your platform need to be addressed to me. >> it has brought us together and we know that we now -- we have to stick together because if we don't, we are going to get somebody, maybe even worse than him next time, the next go round. >> 2016 was a wake-up call. it was a wake-up call for black women because we felt that we didn't have to come out as hard like we did for obama because we felt that white women would make up that, make up for what we didn't do. white women are not going to tu trump put trump in the office. when it happened, wake-up call, no one is looking out for us. we need to look out for ourselves. >> i don't know if that is the reason by didn't show up in 2016. i don't think we sat back and said the white women are going

to vote for her. i think we purrly stayed home. i think we just purrly said i am not feeling her, she is just not reaching us. >> the turn of event in 2016 will get more black women educated and to form more black women involved in politics so we will start running for these offices and making sure when we look at our government and when we look at our lawmakering body it does not just represent white men. this administration has opened our eyes and made us see, okay, no more. time-out. this is our house. we are going a part of this process. >> the black vote, the african-american female vote in particular, is a coveted trophy, in my opinion, political trophy and i think they are realizing that." next hour, how to win that political trophy in midterm elections this fall and how republicans could make inroads with black female voters. doctors say this is the

cdc are somewhere around 30% twe effective. it's not where we want it to be but perhaps is means you're 30% less likely being hospitalized if you get a severe infection so even that 30% to me is certainly something worth having and it's worth getting the vaccin even this late in the season. >> so what advice do you have for us to try to get through this season, healthy and whole by the end of it? >> i hope we all get through it healthy and whole but this is the flu and vaccination is the key path of our fight against flu. it's our main weapon, if you like. particular hygiene practices. what your grandmother told you, wash your hands and cover your mouth when you sneeze. there are pretty effective

medications against flu. the problem with these is you got to take them soon after you get infected. >> what are they? >> the medications are tami flu. if you get typical flu symptoms, the rapid on set or the fever get to the doctor early and you can get these medications. >> good to know. thank you so much. richard webby, we appreciate your perspective here. take good care. >> thank you. big day for football! coy wire is here. >> something going on today, isn't there, victor? it looks like the government shutdown was going to prevent it but good news for our troops. they will be able to watch today's conference championship games. winner punching a ticket to super bowl lii. a quick preview coming up after the break. it's absolute confidence in 30,000 precision parts. or it isn't. it's inspected by mercedes-benz factory-trained technicians. or it isn't. it's backed by an unlimited mileage warranty,

the winners of today's conference championships is going to the super bowl and everybody is paying attention to some guy's thumb. >> thumb's up for this guy. it's championship sunday and i'm a little bit excited. in the afc championship game in foxborough, the patriots living legend quarterback tom brady is going to be attempting to make a record eight super bowl appearance as a starter but he is likely going to have to do it wearing a glove that will cover the stitches on the thumb of his throwing hand against the nfl's number one pass defense in jacksonville, no less. the young jaguars can take their team to the super bowl for the first time if they can take down the nfl's top dog. now in the nfc championship game, it's a battle of underdogs. minnesota's quarterback case keenum has been overlook his entire life and we saw him lead the vikings to that incredible win last sunday. keenum's journey to the stage has been just as improbable. you're not strong enough, you're not tall.

case keenum, he has heard it all. despite winning a state championship in high school, hardly any teams recruited him. he ended up going to the university of houston where he would make records that still stand today. he threw for more yards and touchdowns than anyone in ncaa history. more than tom brady and peyton manning combined! still, no nfl team drafted him. here he is finding himself on this big stage and he is not the only underdog. the entire eagles team who he will face today, they are underdogs despite being in front of their home crowd. they are not favored against keenum's vikings as was the case last week in philly when the eagles beat the falcons. their players embracing that underdog role by wearing those dog masks. when you look in the stands today as you watch that game, expect to see a sea of those dog masks baugh the fans in philly made amazon run out of stock earlier in the week. they are all wearing the dog masks so it's going to be a dog gone good day in play action. >> i see what you did there.

>> thank you, coy. >> you're welcome. so "saturday night live" mocking the president's health just days after we learned the results of that physical exam we were talking about. >> watch this. >> now the most important news of the week. physician dr. ronnie jackson so come out here and tell you about how not fat the president is! okay? dr. jackson, get 'em, hoss. >> oh, thank you. all right. once again, this is the president's unbiased, 100% accurate health assessment. at the time of examination, the president was 71 years and 7 months young. cool 68 bpm and his weight a - stealth 239 pounds. he has a gorgeous 44-inch coke bottle waist! his height, 75 inches with legs that -- they seem to go on forever.

size 12 shoes so you can fill in the blanks there. it's my expert medical opinion that the president has got a rockin' bod with a perfect amount of cushion for the pushing and if given the chance, i would. are there any questions? what is so objectionable that it's worth holding the entire government hostage? >> negotiating with president trump is like negotiating with jell-o. >> we look petty. we care more about party flag than the american flag. >> i urge my colleagues here in the house and the senate to make sure we fund this government. >> this is what democracy looks like! woo, woo! >> i was a me too. i am aware of all the women who are still in silence! >> i want my girls to feel empowered. >> this year was about directing that voice to action and that action being what will happen later this year -- the elections.
