tv   CNN Newsroom Live  CNN  January 21, 2018 11:00pm-12:00am PST

11:00 pm
is cnn breaking news. >> welcome back to viewers here in the united states and around the world. we continue following the breaking news this hour here on cnn. the u.s. government shut down for a third day. yes, it went into monday. i'm george howell. >> and i'm rosemary church. this is "cnn newsroom." u.s. senators will try again to end a government shutdown at noon monday. a shutdown moved into its third day when senators adjourned without agreement on a temporary
11:01 pm
spending bill sunday. two democratic sources say they think the measure will fall short of the 60 votes needed to pass on the next vote. >> republicans are resisting a democratic push to tie daca to this bill thaechts the program that prote program that protects thousands of young immigrants from deportation. >> the shutdown should stop today. and we'll soon have a vote that will allow us to do exactly that. so let's step back from the brink. let's stop victimizing the american people and get back to work on their behalf. >> now this shutdown, as you see from the clock, it's two hours into the third day. >> ryan nobles has all the details from capitol hill. >> reporter: rosemary and george, it turned out not to be as late a night as expected on
11:02 pm
capitol hill. that's not not because there was some kind of grand bargain struck. instead they decided yet again to delay this process, extending just little bit longer until noon eastern time on monday. that's what senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said on the floor late sunday night. >> should these issues not be resolved by the time the funding bill before us expires on february 8th, 2018, assuming that the government remains open, it would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address dhaacdaca, border security and related issues. >> if you listen to what the senate majority leader is offering is a promise to senate republicans that they will address immigration in particular protections for the dreamers, the hundreds of thousands of young people who were brought to the country through no fault of their own
11:03 pm
and were once protected by daca program. but there has been a long sense of a lack of trust between republicans and democrats when it comes to this issue. senator jeff flake of arizona who has been one of the key negotiators from the republican side told me last night after mcconnell's speech that he is hoping that the fact that the senate majority leader made the promise to take up that daca issue before this next deadline for the continuing resolution will be enough to convince democrats to vote yes. take a listen. >> i think there is a lack of trust. and that's why i wanted to stand up afterwards and reiterate and to confirm what the leader has committed to. i do think given the high profile nature of this whole debate that it will be impossible for us not to move on to immigration. and the democrats still have the spending caps as leverage beyond this time. so i do think we'll get there. >> beyond the back and forth, though, between republicans and democrats on capitol hill, there is a stark reality for the hundreds of thousands of federal
11:04 pm
government employees across the country who now will not have to come into work on monday morning. and that means they won't receive a paycheck on monday as a result. they are continuing to remain on edge as republicans and democrats here in washington iron out their differences. they are hoping to cast a vote on this issue noon eastern time on monday. rosemary and george? >> ryan, 000 thank you. so clearly, the rhetoric has cooled down from what we saw over the past several days. but do listen here to the senate minority leader, sounding a little less than optimistic about negotiations going forward. but still a sense of positivity here. let's listen. >> i am happy to continue my discussion with the majority leader about reopening the government. we've had several conversations. talks will continue. but we have yet to reach an agreement on a path forward that would be acceptable for both sides. >> and joining us now from los angeles, cnn political commentators democratic strategist dave jacobson and
11:05 pm
republican consultant john thomas. good to have you both back with us this hour. david jacobson, i want to go to you first, because the democrats are particularly vulnerable here, aren't they? they're open to blame for holding the government to ransom over the daca issue. many saying why not just pass the spending bill and deal with daca a few weeks down the track? >> you know, i actually think is democrats have the high ground here. they're the ones able to pull bipartisan support last week and get four republican senators to support the reference. lindsey graham, jeff flake, mike lee and rand paul cited with the democrats over republicans. and at the end of the day, the american people overwhelmingly want a daca fix. we've seen consistently in poll after poll, 90% of americans, nearly the entire country wants a daca fix. and the chip program, the children's health insurance program is even more popular. the six-year-long deal is not going to cut it. the american people want something that's more long-term,
11:06 pm
that's more comprehensive, that fully funds the program for years to come. and so that's why we're seeing fresh evidence of americans blaming republicans for this in a new poll fresh out today from politico morning consult that shows 41% of respondents say republicans are to blame over democrats who are only at 36. why? because republicans control every arm of the federal government, from the white house to the senate to the house of representatives. >> and that is a major point, isn't it? there are vulnerabilities on both sides, and people are annoyed with both the republicans and the democrat. and in charge of the executives, the house of representatives and the senate. how do you get to a point here where you're showing a dysfunctional government? >> sure. because the republicans are being held hostage by math. in order to pass this budget, they need 60 votes. and the republicans simply don't have 60 members of the senate. and so the democrats understand that. and dave's right.
11:07 pm
the chip, the funding for children's health care program, is critical. and that expired on friday night. let's not fret. and now that the government is shutdown, if a child who relies upon that insurance needs a surgery on monday morning and the government is still shut down, dave and schumer don't think that's a priority. we do. we want to keep the government open. today's point, cnn released a poll saying yes, of course people like daca. but 60% compared to 30% think that we should first open up the government and then have a daca discussion. >> so dave, this question to you. as the president done enough here? keep in mind this is a federal government united states who has always prided himself on being a chief negotiator. let's listen to the president himself explain his abilities. >> i make deals. i negotiate.
11:08 pm
we don't make great deals anymore. but we will once i become president. >> nobody knows the system better than me. which is why i alone can fix it. >> everybody wants me to negotiate. that's where i'm known as a negotiator. >> what we've seen here, mixed messages, dave. we've seen this president keep a distance from this negotiation. i remember that the past administration, the criticism by some was that the president was leading from behind. the question here, dave, is this president leading from behind? is he doing enough? are the mixed messages muddying the water here? >> i think that's accurate, george. donald trump isn't really part of the latest conversations that we've seen over the last 48 hours with negotiations, with democrats and republicans in the senate. and that's because he has no core set of values. we don't know where donald trump stands on any given issue, let alone the daca issue or this budget issue. he was the one who said to
11:09 pm
lindsey graham, hey, bring me a deal. i'll take the heat. i'll get it done. what did senator graham do? donald trump's former golf buddy? he brought him a deal with dick durbin. they presented a comprehensive plan that had bipartisan support and the president rejected it. and so at the end of the day, you've got a president who refuses to cut deals when he is supposed to be the ultimate deal maker. i think that's a testament to his failure as commander in chief and leader of our country. >> but it's all how you look at it. some is saying the president is keeping good distance from this so both sides can work it out and then he is prepared to silent. >> and that's right there. is no point for the president to get involved at this stage. this is a conversation really between the two houses of congress and their leadership. so no, i think the president is actually doing the right thing here. but as we can see, daca is a very controversial topic. and president trump is saying he is ready to sign a bill that
11:10 pm
keeps the president open. and here is something to keep in perspective. not even one democrat can find one thing wrong that they oppose in the current bill that's been proposed. it's that it doesn't have daca, which isn't set to expire for weeks. so they're willing to shut down the government over a bill that no one opposes. i just fine that amazing. >> i just want to listen for a moment to republican senator jeff flake. he was asked whether the senate can come up with an agreement before the deadline on february 8th. let's listen to what's had to say. >> i don't know. i hope we can. but i'm doubting it. i have relied on the white house to actually work with us. we haven't seen that yet. >> that's damning, isn't it, john thomas, regarding the white house? just sending out these mixed messages. >> well, senator flake with all
11:11 pm
due respect is not exactly simpatico with the white house. here is a guy who is being forced out to being forced to essentially retire because the republican base has rejected him, and he went to war with president trump earlier. i don't think he is actually on the short list. but the white house i think has been actually fairly consistent. they want to make a deal on daca. but the devil is in the details. they just don't want to give away the ship. they want to end chain migration and they want fund fog interest border wall. and they're not willing to give up that. they think we should keep the government open first and have a conversation about daca before it expires. >> dave, your reaction to that. >> look, i think budgets and policy are a reflection of values. and democrats' value our inclusive society. immigrants are what makes this country great. and so democrats are pushing. they're digging their heels in because they want a daca fix. the american people want a daca
11:12 pm
fix. 90% of americans consistently in poll after poll say that they want a fix to this issue. and then when it comes to the chip funding, john, you're wrong. democrats don't necessarily agree with the existing funding bill. they want a long-term solution. not a short-term six-year deal. they want a long-term solution to chip. these children are our most vulnerable in our society. >> you're right. and you're throwing them under the bus tomorrow, dave. >> it's republicans who control the power levels of government. look, democrats want to cut a deal. but democrats are on the side of the american people. it is donald trump who has led this shutdown. it's donald trump who is spearheading an agenda that goes contrary to what the american people want. >> here is the question, guys. as both sides figure it out, hash it out, and there are certainly important issues to discuss, there are americans waking up this day wondering when do i go to work? >> that's right. >> will i get paid? >> right. >> so that's the bottom line question for a lot of people.
11:13 pm
>> and i think president trump, that's why he is arguing for the nuclear option. because i think he feels that the partisans are so far from making a deal that a simple majority is the right way to get something done. >> we'll have to see how this plays out, gentlemen. thank you so much for your time and we'll stay in touch you. >> thank you. with the government shutdown continuing so far, that means the following also continues. hundreds of thousands of nonessential employees are furloughed. that means they stop working without pay until congress is able to agree on a bill for the federal budget. the military is considered essential and still reports for duty. but the 1.3 million active duty personnel won't be paid if the shutdown continues after february 1. >> that's where it bites. that's where people get hurt and they feel the true effects of what's happening. but hey, guess who still get theirs paychecks? members of congress. it's written into law. so national parks also closed.
11:14 pm
national parks, zoos, and museums will stay closed. and mail will still guess delivered. essential service like social security still gets funded. that includes the tsa and air traffic control. our pentagon reporter ryan brown has more now on that, how the shutdown will affect the military. >> reporter: as the government shutdown continues, both sides have pointed to its affect on the military as a reason that it needs to come to an end. now the military will be impacted in a variety of ways. u.s. troops, u.s. uniform personnel will continue to perform their duties both here at home and overseas. but if the shutdown continues through a next pay period, those troops, including those in combat, will not be paid. death benefits to be paid potentially to fallen service members' families could potentially be affected as well by a shutdown. about 50 to 75% of the department of defense civilian workforce will be furloughed.
11:15 pm
will not come into work that can affect contracting. it can affect other maintenance programs. something very big concern to the secretary of defense, james mattis. reserve training will be canceled as well. all these things having an effect. not necessarily on active military operations, but lot of the support services which is why secretary of defense mattis said a shutdown would have a terrible impact on the united states military and the department of defense. but u.s. troops around the world would continue performing their jobs. back to you. >> all right, thank you for the reporting. >> and not surprisingly, democrats and republicans in congress remain at odds. but new york state and federal officials are in agreement on the statute of liberty. >> the monument reopens on monday, despite this soft shutdown. our polo sandoval explains. >> reporter: this morning when america's most recognized landmarks expected to reopen amid this shutdown showdown. well can tell you that the statue of liberty is expected to
11:16 pm
reopen and welcome tourists. that is after a special arrangement done. new york governor andrew cuomo hoping to foot the bill to pay for the federal employees who run the landmark. this is something that was announced yesterday here in manhattan. officials in new york believe it is really in the city's best interests, really the entire state's best interest to reopen it. they say if they open it, the tourists will come. >> i know that the statue of liberty is a federally controlled memorial. but it's a major income generator for new york state. and we don't want to lose the income. and symbolically, you can shut down the government, but you can't shut down the statue of liberty. >> this is certainly not going to come cheap, though. about $65,000 a day that will be pulled out of the new york state tourism fund. but as you just heard from the governor, they hope that at least some of these tourists will be coming and it will help
11:17 pm
pay for itself. this is not the first time we're seeing this. in 2013 there were governors across the country that were doing something similar as well. they were tapping into some of the emergency funds to open some of the recognized landmarks. at least for now the statue of liberty, at least in the governor's words, it's back to work today. >> thank you so much. next on "cnn newsroom," a second day of rallies and marches in the u.s. as thousands of women came together to demand greater rights. how they plan to create change. that's next. plus -- >> time's up! time's up! >> women in cold rainy london also raised their voices sunday to show their solidarity. how the time's movement has gone global. that's ahead. new year, new phones for the family. join t-mobile, and when you buy one of the latest samsung phones get a samsung galaxy s8 free. plus, unlimited family plans come with netflix included.

♪ ♪ i'm jimmy, this is my definition of fresh since 1983. ♪ sunday marked the last day of the women's march protest in the united states and for the participant, it was a day of political resolve. thousands of people came together in cities around the country, demanding greater equality and rights for women. they took to the streets in cities like miami, florida, buffalo, new york, and las vegas, nevada.
11:22 pm
>> and that was the scene of one of the weekend's biggest rallies. organizers and celebrities there urged women to turn their attention to the 2018 u.s. midterm elections when seats in the house and senate were up for grabs. >> we are marching for a future where there is a place of honor and digit for everyone. we are fighting for a country where we understand our fates are bound up together, together. we're all bound up in each other, for an economy that lifts up everyone. for access to health care for all. for peace. for our climate. for racial and gender justice. for our democracy itself. for our children and grandchildren. we are marching for the america that has never yet been but will be. this is one of the worst times in our history. and that's why i honestly believe that women are going to be the ones that fix it.
11:23 pm
>> cnn's miguel marquez takes us to that closing rally in las vegas. >> reporter: this is the scene here. they've been going on for several hours here in nevada. i want to show you what the crowd look likes still. many have left, but they have had hours of rally basically, a political rally. the national organization for women's march has held this as the one-year anniversary of the march from last year. the point of this is very, very political. they want to focus attention on specific races here in nevada and across the country. specifically, there is a senate race, dean heller there is a republican they consider to be vulnerable and they want to win that there is also a governorship up here in november. and they're also very focused on that. beyond this event, this is considered the first event for the women's march organization. they want to register a million people across the united states
11:24 pm
over the next several months for the midterm elections. they also say they'll hold up to ten rallies like this in battleground states. they did announce a few of the states today. texas, ohio and pennsylvania all will have rallies like this. the left and the women's march organization very, very focused on taking away congress, both the senate and the house from the republicans and making it democratic. >> and our thanks to miguel marquez for that report. across the atlantic, women in london have also been showing their own solidarity with the demonstrators we saw in the united states. cnn's erin mclaughlin was at the rally there. >> reporter: despite the rain and the cold, people from across london are here at downing street to send the message that time is up. i was actually speaking to one person who was here. she was telling me that she felt obligated to be here after
11:25 pm
seeing the mass marches across the united states on saturday. she felt it was her duty to be here to have her voice heard. we heard from a range of speakers, members of parliament, human rights activists as well as the great granddaughter -- [ cheering ] -- to secure the vote for women in this country. i spoke to three women who were here dressed as suffragettes who told me 100 years later, there is much more work to be done. >> 100 years ago, it was such a massive landmark for women. and it just feels like we've moved quite slowly since then. and it's almost like we've kind of got the vote but we just need to bring everyone together to have that last push just to make sure that we kind of can live in a world where everyone is equal and women are seen on the same level as men, which we're not quite there yet. >> yeah. and some of the things that we're fighting for like equal
11:26 pm
pay, the sufficient jets, we still don't have. so it seems quite important to remind people that we haven't necessarily changed as much as we might have hoped by now. >> and it's also just to honor what they did. and the women's rights activists were in the suffragettes and everything they did for us. >> organizers say they hope to build on this momentum to create change in communities across the world. erin mclaughlin, cnn, london. >> erin, thank you. we continue following the breaking news here on cnn. the u.s. senate adjourns without ending the government shutdown. the agreement among u.s. lawmakers remains elusive. we take a look at what's next. the next step to washington ahead. plus u.s. president mike pence is in israel. we'll look at what's on his agenda, and why christian leaders are not exactly lining up to meet him. we're back in just a minute.

11:31 pm
peace and regional security. pence is expected to also speak to the israeli parliament. the u.s. government is shut down now for a third day. a vote to end this shutdown is scheduled in the senate for noon, monday. republican pleader mitch mcconnell said he intends to take up immigration issues by early february if the shutdown is ended first. but democrats have been pushing to vote now on protection for undocumented immigrants brought to the united states as children. now the question remains, will republicans have enough votes in just a few hours' time to reopen the u.s. government until early february? some are hopeful after a group of senators from both parties tried to find a can compromise on sunday. >> meanwhile, both sides of the aisle are pointing fingers at each other for the shutdown. but democrats and now some republicans say president trump and his top advisers must also do their part.
11:32 pm
>> it all really stems from the president whose inability to clench a deal has created the trump shutdown. i agree with majority leader mcconnell. the trump shutdown was totally avoidable. president trump walked away from not one, but two bipartisan deals. and that's after he walked away from a principle on daca we reached last year. if he was willing to accept any one of these deals, we wouldn't be where we are today. >> all right. let's talk about where things stand right now. back was, republican digital strategist austin james and democratic strategist caroline heldman. it's gad to have you both with us to talk about this. the sound bite that we just heard, that was from earlier in the day when the rhetoric was just a bit more heated. not quite as heated now. it's cooled off a bit. we've heard from both sides there is a sense of possible
11:33 pm
optimism. there could be some sort of a deal here. but here is the question there is still a trust gap. caroline, the question to you, will democrats be able to get over this trust gap? do they believe republicans are serious about taking up immigration? >> i don't think there is any way to be serious and trust with the republicans given the fact that this government shutdown is the direct result of donald trump flip-flopping on the issue of daca. and in fact when chuck schumer went in and said look, we will negotiate daca and put the wall on the table, he still rejected it because he is working with extremist advisers are w.h.o. are advising him against a policy that 90% of americans support. so i think that it would be foolhardy for democrats to believe the person in the white house and the republicans given the experience of the past week. >> austin, the same question to you. >> sure. >> the trust gap. >> there certainly is a trust gap. i think what we're seeing, though, is that donald trump and republicans in general are
11:34 pm
seeing the american people kind of make their voices known. there is a cnn poll out that says 60% of the people would in no way want to put dhaka in front of spending, especially when you have to talk about american employees domestically and service members overseas. and sipping on what republicans are kind of holding out for is a better deal based on the policies set forth by trump and republicans when they were ushered in. >> caroline, we know the vote's coming up at noon on monday. and it looks like they're not going to be able to get the necessary 60 votes to open the government. if that does indeed happen, what next? will happen to this country and how it's view ed ed by leaders around the world? >> well, this is the 18th government shutdown we've had since 1976 when continuing resolutions were put into place. this will look probably very similar to what happened in 2013. about 800,000 to 850,000
11:35 pm
employees furloughed. it means you won't get help with your taxes. it means you won't be able to get a gun permit there will be a delay in passport process. we won't be monitoring flus and viruss in the same way. we won't be keeping track of that data. we also won't have the live panda stream from the national zoo which is perhaps less important that the fact that our military personnel will not be paid. it will affect a lot of people, including friends of mine who work in washington, d.c. and around the country. 2.9 million federal employees, about 850,000 will be affected. >> and austin, it does now come back to president trump. even some republicans are saying this, that he needs to doing? now. he has rejected some of these bipartisan agreements. so what is he doing? and what does he need to do at this juncture? >> well, listen, i think he is actually doing the right thing, which is kind of staying out of the fray. you know, back to caroline's point, 2013, we lost $23 billion
11:36 pm
in economic revenue for this country. i think was $2 billion in salaries to government employees. and the critical employees, kind of the executive type positions stay. it's the ones who are really worried about these checks month to month that are going to be put out. i think donald trump is doing the right thing. he wants to see a resolution. he has spoken to the fact that he wants to see a resolution. i think when we had an opportunity to present something bipartisan, it tended to be a little too liberal given the fact it is on them. it is widely known on social media as the assumer shutdown. and so president trump i don't think wants to give too much away because they're in the right on this. >> all right. austin james and caroline heldman, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you much. still ahead here on "newsroom", how this year's s.a.g. awards elevated the voices of women while recognizing the best films and tv shows this year. stay with us.

welcome back, everyone. u.s. vice president mike pence's middle east trip is moving ahead despite the government shutdown. pence was in aman, jordan sunday where he met with king abdullah. the king expressed concern about u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. >> the vice president is now in israel, where he will meet with the prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the coming hours to discuss peace and regional security issues. however, mr. pence, a devout christian is about to receive a less than warm welcome for christian leaders. cnn's ian lee explains for us. >> reporter: incense wafts into the air. ancient prayers reverberate off stonewalls. an armenian priest performs the sacred rituals. sunday's service at bethlehem's church of the nativity in the grotto on the spot christians believe jesus was born.
11:41 pm
above, greek orthodox worshipers receive the holy sacrament. and in the room over, a catholic congregation sings hymns of peace. despite centuries of war, famine and disease, the local christians remained. but now church leaders fear a complete exodus. >> our biggest challenge is to keep them here. you need to build a government, a country, an identity for the people. and this is how we pray for that, to have peace in this country. >> reporter: three denominations share the birthplace of jesus, just right through that door. and while they don't agree on theology, they all agree that u.s. foreign policy is hurting the local christian community. when president trump declared jerusalem the capital of israel, 13 of the city's church leaders from 13 denominations denounced it.
11:42 pm
before the declaration, u.s. vice president mike pence announced a middle east peace trip. now not one of the local church leaders wants to meet him. the major threat to christians in the middle east comes from the white house. that according to former latin patriarch of jerusalem, michel sabbah. >> if you want christian in the middle east, he needs to start changing american policy in the middle east to start a new vision of politics built on life and human life in all countries. >> reporter: what is seen here as the u.s.'s preferential treatment towards israel and the occupation of palestinian lands is driving christians away, say clergy. people's lives, opportunities, and movements restricted by israel. in a christmas message, prime minister netanyahu defended israel, saying it's the only
11:43 pm
country in the region where christians have equal opportunity. >> i'm proud that says the country that in which christians not only survive, but they thrive because we believe in this friendship among people. and we protect the rights of everyone to worship in the holy shrines behind me. >> reporter: but local christians see the opposite and look abroad for a better life, we want to raise our kids here and we don't know what next will be. but the most thing that we know, most of our religions left the country for these political situations. >> reporter: if the american vice president truly wants to help the christians of the holy land, sabbah offers this advice. >> you love israel, it's very good. but you love the palestinians if you are christians. love everyone. >> reporter: otherwise a church without a congregation becomes just another shrine.
