give you a automatic twenty dollar credit. my name is antonio and i'm a technician at comcast. we're working to make things simple, easy and awesome. i can tell you, it's not going to be open until we have a wall, a fence, whatever they'd like to call it. if you don't have that, then we just won't open it. >> it won't be opening until it's solved. it's a much bigger problem. >> i will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks before february 15th. the president caves, ending the 35-day shutdown with a deal that has no money for the wall. >> the investigation has been directly linked to the trump campaign. >> there's still no evidence what so far that i had advance knowledge of the topic, subject,

with the source of the wikileaks disclosures. i never received. >> there is no circumstance what so far under which i will bear false witness against the president. >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. good morning to you for the first time in 35 days, we're all waking up to a shutdown-free country. a deal has been signed and waits for the next budget deal. >> president trump basically signed the same deal he's been rejecting for weeks as he attempted to calm his base. this was part of his tweet, this is in no way a concession. he says if he doesn't have a deal with the wall by february 5th, he will declare a national emergency. >> the president's long-time friend roger stone indicted for

information stolen from wikileaks. >> deal to end the shutdown follows pressure by republicans, the flight delays caused by the shortage of air traffic controllers. in polls, it shows the optics were only getting worse for the president. >> the question is how it going to unfold. sarah westwood is joining us live. sarah, what are you hearing from the white house about how to proceed from this point? >> well, christi, the white house is making it clear that president trump is determined to pursue his wall if he's not able to get it legislatively over the next three weeks, president trump himself said he reserved the right to the try to access some pot of money that already exists in the federal government to try to build that wall. and conservatives are not responding favorably to the president's decision to cave to democrats on friday. one trump adviser calling this a humiliating loss for the

president. there's a sense that the president essentially lost 35 days on the shutdown, perhaps put a stain on the second part of his presidency and doesn't get him any closer to funding a border wall. and the spin, perhaps democrats citing the reason for not negotiating on the wall could perhaps come to the table but chuck schumer said yesterday that democrats are still against the wall. that's the position they've maintained throughout this entire shutdown. white house aides had begun to feel pressure from the chaos we have begun to see at airports across the country, as the effects of this shutdown were felt throughout all 50 states. this is something that had scared republicans into potentially breaking ranks.the white house had opened that perhaps rank and file democrats would peel off. thursday, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell informed the

president he wasn't sure how much longer the gop could hold. and the president made that concession setting himself up for another three week battle, february 15th, and no close despite the historic shutdown getting his wall. >> thank you. joining us cnn political commentator errol louis, errol, welcome back. >> good morning. >> all right. so the president held this victorious news conference in the rose garden with members of his cabinet, members of his administration, and here's how he characterized what ended the shutdown. watch. >> my fellow americans, i am very proud to announce that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government. >> there were applause. there was a whoo there.

what deal does the president see here? he says it's about a concession, it appears to be just that and nothing else. >> let's start with the fact that applause and cheering was coming from members of the president's cabinet and staff members of the white house so it's not as if this was some sort of cross-section of the public cheering his decision. he did, i think in the end, victor, what, frankly, i thought he was going to do ten days ago is simply declare victory and reopen the government. the stalemate is one that he's not been able to, i don't think he will be able to, you can give him another 20 days and maybe they'll try it, but i don't think this is something that they can solve. the numbers are really kind of unforgiving. the republican base very much wants and believes in the wall and will support the president and will condemn him, quite frankly, if he doesn't charge ahead with it. and you have the exact opposite coming from the democratic side. one house of congress is controlled by the democrats and

the other by the republicans. and it's been a thorny issue for a generation what to do about border security. it's been very, very tough figuring out how to do it. the notion that the president was going to bowl his way through in one house of congress is always a little fanciful. >> sarah sanders tweeted out in 21 days president trump is moving forward building the wall with or without the democrats. the only outstanding question is whether the democrats want something or nothing. any indication this type of negotiating is going to, i guess, encourage democrats to give anything more than they have in the last five weeks? >> it's really very curious, that bluff and that bluster, by the way, and perhaps that very tweet, victor, i think may end up in court. it may come back to haunt the administration. we've started to see some reporting and analysis of how you declare a national emergency in such a way that would enable him to build a wall with or

without help from congress or the democrats. and everything that i've seen suggests that it has to be a genuine emergency. that it can't be a matter of not being able to round up the votes is you need to pass a favored policy. that's a regular argument. not an emergency. and to be clear, making sure negotiations happen, and then decide, if we don't get what we want we'll declare an emergency, well, that will be in court the very next day and with ammunition used against them in a notion that they're trying in a desperate way to get through means that they couldn't get through ordinary negotiation. >> the commentator blasting the president saying that the base is going to abandon him and this is going to erode it substantially. at the end of three weeks of negotiations, it possible that the senate republicans are going to support the government shutting down again? >> i'm not clear on what the

republican majority leader, that's not the entire senate. >> yes. >> and that's not even the entire republican congress. but mitch mcconnell who sees weak numbers in his home state of kentucky and is running for reelection in 2020, i can see him going back to his stand of whatever it is the white house wants him to do. that will put all of us in a very difficult position that we just saw 35 days of. you really have to hand it to the republicans, they have really screwed up a situation that they could have handles before the democrats took control of the house of representatives. and it was not a mystery that the dems were going to do very well. sometime before last november, they really could and should have figured out what they were going to do on this particular issue. >> let's talk about the state of the union. of course, we know it was supposed to happen on tuesday. nancy pelosi was asked in a news conference yesterday afternoon the president spoke from the rose garden saying no, it's not going to happen tuesday.

what her offer from the president was to have the government opened again to discuss the state of the union. what role does that variable play potentially in what we'll see eveover the next three week zwrs. >>. >> i think it's in the interest of the white house to get that speech done in the next three weeks. it's really only the best opportunity for the president to make his case to the entire nation, one last time, one more time, of why he's got to have funding for the border wall, why mexico is not paying for it, why the american taxpayers are supposed to come up with this money for this policy that the polls show are not sufficiently popular. and people want to dig into their pockets and pay for a %-p argument for and against the wall has been heard. but that forum is special, that state of the union address, it's got the entire government there. it's got the eyes of the world there. i will anticipate the president will try to really, really push

through something that we just saw he was not able to do. by sort of back room negotiations. >> the president has not tweeted yet. the last tweet was this not being a concession. we'll see if he follows that up this morning. errol louis, thanks so much. >> thank you. well, six associates of president trump have now been charged by special counsel robert mueller. the arrest and indictment of roger stone. the latest in the ongoing investigation. where do we go from here? plus secretary of state mike pompeo has called a special meeting. and coming up what's the lead-up to the violence across the country. and there's a temporary deal, of course, to reopen the federal government. federal workers, they may still feel a little uncertain about this. we're going to talk to a

he was indicted on multiple counts yesterday. including false statements. part of the indictment is that he lied about the campaign and wikileaks. stone calls the charges politically motivated and plans to plead not guilty. it realities in no way to collusion, wikileaks collaboration or the campaign, his words there. now, stone was arrested by fbi agents during an early raid in ft. lauderdale yesterday. he talked to cnn's chris cuomo yesterday. >> there is no testified that i had advance knowledge of subject, topic of the source of

the wikileaks disclosures. i never received any wikileaks disloafclosures and i never communicated with assange. >> what does this mean for president trump and the russia investigation? cnn legal analyst joey jackson and retired and cnn law enforcement analyst jim gagliano. gentlemen, good morning. >> good morning, christi. >> good morning. >> joey, you first, you just heard from roger stone. your reaction? >> my reaction is as follows. the collusion is separately and apart. and the investigation it leading as to that matter. and whether or not there's any collusion. that's chute that everyone is waiting to drop for, that's what everyone is waiting with's. at the same time, i'll also tell you christi, that is irrelevant,

i repeat, irrelevant. it's about telling the truth. we have this thing in law talking about the speaking indictment. it speaks to the issues of what you're being indicted about, it tells the story. if you can think about the indictment that speaks to the criminality, this is an indictment that sings. i don't know what happened, he's entitled to the presumption of innocence. but i did tell you this, after reading that indictment in the event that the federal government can prove their case and the allegations there are true, he's in a world of hurt. why? because he accused him of lying, right? not of colluding, of lying. he was brought before a house committee and was asked a series of questions about documents he had, about relationships he had. and about communications he had. and they have right there, right? plain to see, what he said, versus what the reality is. so if that's true, the obstruction charge would stand. the five counts of lying would stand, and the tampering as to

the radio commentator, and his communications with him saying hold fast, stonewall, it's right there, so the fact that the indictment is factually accurate, i see another conviction. >> and we wonder what else they have. we know that fbi officials are searching his new york duplex right now. you know, james, in terms of michael cohen, they raided his hotel room, his home, his office. do you expect that the intensity is going to be there in terms of the search for roger stone as well? and what specifically are they looking for? >> sure. and christi, i think that, you know, there's a lot of distance between the process crimes that joey's just talking about and actual collusion. look, this is an ugly look for the president because the folks he associated himself with, the people that were running the campaign, the people that he took campaign advice from, they've been arrested on a number of charges. yes, they're process crimes, witness tampering and perjury.

i see these folks more as grifters, that's how i see roger stone in this. now if there is any there there, i think that's the next shoe that joey alluded to because everybody in that circle whether michael flynn or george papadopoulos and moving forward to paul manafort and now to roger stone, it is closed in as close as you can possibly get to the president. it does not mean that anybody colluded with the kremlin. but the look is not good and process crimes are still crimes. >> so, joey i want to read something that mueller writes in the indictment, he says after the july 22nd release of stolen dnc e-mails by organization a senior trump campaign official was directed to contact stone about any additional releases and what other damaging information organization 1 had regarding the clinton campaign. let's talk about that characterization of senior trump official.

a lot of people think it's manafort, make rick gates? what about donald trump jr.? it's got to be a narrow risk, does it not? >> it has to be, to your point, a senior official. not an official or as to the campaign as the president has said already, i guess, a coffee boy or whatever they're suggesting, these are senior people. and i think the indication and the suggestion was that there was some coordination between what mr. stone knew, his relationship with julian assange of wikileaks, the hacked e-mails, the release of the e-mails, the actual when the remails would be released and trump campaign wanting to know what's going on and then as saying the shoe's going to drop. and make no assumptions or make any conclusions, but when you're considered about things concerning what you did and you're a select committee in the

house and they directly ask you questions, and you don't answer those questions truthfully, and we have the documents which would suggest you answered the questions falsely. and we have radio interviews and television interviews and public statements that suggest that you're amiss, there's a problem here. so, he is in world, stone, of hurt, concerning what he said and the misleading nature of that, in terms what collusion, what coordination went on, we'll wait and see. but it seems that mueller is a pretty thorough guy. >> so the theatrics as stone characterized what happened at his home is what? >> look, i think the viewers need to understand the fbi doesn't make decisions as to how somebody is brought into custody. that's a decision made by the special prosecutor's office and the department of justice.

in that they felt that talks with stone were breaking down. and they were concerned about a potential flight risk, as well as destruction of evidence. look, we have a rule of thumb in the fbi, if we're arresting one person, we bring ten. if we're arresting 10, we bring 100. when people weigh in and say it was not appropriate or theatrics, i can promise you, the fbi has never been concerned with optics. and when you're looking to arrest somebody or bring them into custody, it's a serious issue. you've got to be concerned about fight or flight. and people don't understand, it's often not the mafia, or the most dangerous, it's the person that has the most to lose. white collar criminals, folks like that are the ones inclined to hurt themselves or people coming to take them into custody. i thought the way they handled it was appropriate. >> joey, you made the point, these are process crimes, this is not about collusion,

necessarily, by any means but it's about wikileaks and any connection between the campaign and wikileaks. let's listen to several statements the president made as candidate trump in october 2016 regarding wikileaks. >> this just came out, wikileaks, i love wikileaks. this wikileaks stuff is unbelievable. it telling you the inner heart. you got to read it. >> it's amazing what's coming out on wikileaks. another one came in today, wikileaks is like to a treasure trove. they were announcing about wikileaks, i wanted to stay there but i didn't want to keep you waiting. boy, i love those wikileaks. >> joey, can you see the president at all opening himself up to vulnerability here with those statements, maybe incriminating himself? >> i really do, christi. let me just say this not as a partisan, but as an octave, trying to analyze the situation,

you ask yourself at home, wikileaks, you don't think somebody in his campaign is feeding information regarding wikileaks regarding a contact they have that knows that information is coming out that is damaging. that the president knowing nothing number any contact or coordination between mr. stone or anyone else supplying the information. maybe he doesn't, okay? but from us in the courtroom, we tell you, ladies and gentlemen, use your common sense, your judgment. does that make sense to you? to the extent this is a political process that involves the president that he can't be indicted by way of regulation, i know it's not set in stone, maybe that will change, too. but the american public has to ask how inoculated is the president? how ignorant is the president to what's going on? how does the president not know anything about what's happening yet he's stumping about wikileaks? that's why i say, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you decide. >> joey jackson, james gagliano,

always great to have you both here. >> thank you, christi. coming up, we'll talk to a connecticut chef feeding federal workers during the shutdown. why he says getting back on the job and receiving weeks of back pay will not make federal workers whole. i'm a veteran

and the army taught me a lot about commitment. which i apply to my life and my work. at comcast we're commited to delivering the best experience possible, by being on time everytime.

and if we are ever late, we'll give you a automatic twenty dollar credit. my name is antonio and i'm a technician at comcast. we're working to make things simple, easy and awesome. more than two weeks. >> please. >> those are tears of relief, at least, as president trump announces the end of the partial

government shutdown. but despite the president's claim of a deal, i mean, this is what speaker nancy pelosi and some republicans really have urged for weeks. open the government first. and then talk about the border security funding. >> now, monday, all federal workers are going to head back to work, hoping that there's going to be a paycheck soon. that's still in question as to how long it will take for them to get their back pay. there's uncertainty here as well, and you must be honest. if the democrats stand firm against the wall. and the president continues to demand one. on february 15th there can be another shutdown. >> joining me now, connecticut chef jay lewis, he's been feeding federal workers during this shutdown and also the author of "the gentleman's cookbook" and a new one "food philosopher" in march.

jay, thank you for joining me. why did you decide to start serving the federal workers these meals? >> the federal workers are our neighbors, right? we can't separate ourselves from them. our federal government is us. how can we not feed our own family? >> let me ask you this, shutdown is over. at least for three weeks, the government is funded, everybody is getting back to work. so, what now? i mean, do you stop serving do you go back to the business that you have? >> no, no, we don't stop searching at all. first of all, the families are still in need. from the way i look at it, as a father, i have two young boys. i look at this and i say, if i were in this situation, i only have guaranteed money to the 15, right? so there's still a whole bunch of uncertainty there. and these families still need american chefs to stay in the game and my company and people

back home as well. >> you say america's chefs. you've been trying to enlist others in the country to serve. how's that going? >> it's been going great. i think what is shining through here, that america is best when some of our -- when our family is being threatened, i guess. and right now, hunger is the biggest threat that our nation faces. i feel that personally as a chef. when i go to talk other chefs and other food service professionals, they're so engaged -- it's almost like they were waiting for my phone call. >> you know, it's interesting because what i've said when you feed people, who for the first time are in a line for a meal, it's not just about feeding the belly. you have to make sure you feed that spirit, too. because there's some defeated egos in many ways that are in line. how did you handle that element? >> well, look, i'm a black man in america, so, i know what it's like to kind of feel a little

bit hesitant sometimes, when you're out there asking for help. i can tell you this much, when people come to you and they're hungry, there's no greater service. no matter what religion you're in, no matter whether you're related or not, my mind, there's no greater service. when they came to me, or a chef, or any of our public services, or just people in a position to help, you really have to put a lot of other i would say superficial issues to the side and say, i'm here to help you as a person. as a human being. as an american. and that's how i handled that. i said, i'm going to help this person. that's why i love being a chef. i can just see a problem. and i can just go over there with a plate of food and help those people. i don't have to form a committee. i don't have to form a caucus. a blue ribbon anything. i can just walk across the street with a plate of food and help people. >> you know there's one element in talking with my producers,

you said in a conversation with people, and i'm paraphrasing here, you know getting back to work and the back pay is not going to make people whole, because they've given up, in some ways, tangible things to get by over the last five weeks. >> yeah, that's the crazy thing about it. you know, sometimes, we forget this, right? these families have gone what four or five weeks now without pay, even though they're going to get back pay, apparently, i'm not sure how that's going to work out. i can tell you one thing, back pay is never going to get that wedding ring you that had to sell. back pay is never going to get back that family heirloom that you had to sell because we're real people, we're premieople oe ground. we don't have parents to call. or people to call. i know people personally that had to sell family heirlooms, they'll never get that back. i wanted to thank you personally, you put a real spotlight on that, and people

were really responding to #shutdownhunger. >> thank you for doing the work. i said the hash tag. i got to credit christi, we were sitting around figuring out a hash tag, and christi shouted out at a meeting. chef lewis, thank you for feeding people. >> thank you so much, a shoutout to my hometown in connecticut and people who inspired me, curtis robinson, yvonne davis and all of my friends. chefs of america are going to stay in the game. >> thank you, chef. >> it does take a team. >> yes, it does. thank you for that, christi, christi came up with the hash tag. >> yeah, but you did the rest, kudos. the international community is picking sides and venezuela is escalating. >> still ahead we look back at the years of turmoil and instability that led up to this crisis.
