widespread six-to-eight inches. s the not out of the question to get over a foot of snow. here's the thing, once that clipper moves out that cold arctic air moves back in. guys, take a look at this he high temperature in minneapolis on wednesday the high, minus 12. she says, no. >> thank you so much. i can tell you it's not going to be opened in him we have a wall, a fenls, whatever they like to call it. if you don't have that, we're just not opening. >> we won't be opening until it's solved. we think this is a much bigger problem. i will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks until february 15th. >> the president caved, ending the 35-day shutdown with a deal that has no money for the wall. >> the central fine that launched the russia investigation has been directly linked to the campaign. >> there is no evidence
5:01 am
whatsoever that i had advanced knowledge, tony or source of the wikileaks disclosures. >> there is no circumstance whatsoever under which i will bear false witness against the president. [ music playing ] >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> have been new day to you the shutdown is over, well, for now, there is a three-week funding measure. now the next deal. >> president trump basically signed the same deal he had been rejecting for weeks, there is no money for his border wall in this. he is attempting to calm his base and tweeting this was in no way a concession. he says if he doesn't have a deal with the wall included by february 15th, he will declare a national emergency. >> meanwhile, his long time friend and adviser was indicted
5:02 am
by robert mueller and arrested. >> he is accused of stealing wikileaks e-mails. >> the white house wielded to pressure. the president made it clear this is not the end of the fight over the border wall. >> cnn white house reporter sarah westwood is joining us live. what is he saying from the white house? and good morning to you? >> reporter: good morning, kristi, president trump emergeed from the longest shutdown battle in history, despite remaining defiant four weeks that the government would not reopen until he got new wall funding. after those 35 days of stalemate, president trump bent and signed a deal it was a very similar to the one he rejected in september when all of this started. it will fund the government for three more weeks until february 15th to give appropriators time to hash out some kind of deem. but as you mentioned, this continuing resolution contains no money for new wall construction. now, this deal came about after
5:03 am
the white house caved under pressure from both sides of the aisle. senate republicans were showing signs of breaking ranks. that's why senate majority leader mitch mcconnell warned president trump on thursday it was unclear how much longer that gop conference could hang together. that's a part of what compel theed the president to announce this deal on friday. white house aides were particularly concerned about images of chaos at airports across the country. they were worried those images would drive wobbly republican noose the arms of democrats, as public outcry grew and president trump is also facing conservative backlash for handing speaker pelosi a major victory and concede whatever is left of the leverage. the hometown paper has dubbed him the caveman after his speech yesterday. but trump is reserving the right to declare a national emergency, if he is not able to get wall funding ten end of the three weeks, he also said he is
5:04 am
willing to let government funding last again on september 15th and head into another shutdown, if he doesn't get money for his border wall legislatively, white house aides are hoping some sort of bipartisan deal comes together in the next few weeks and avoids both of those two options. >> so do the 800,000 people that got their jobs back with way, sarah westwood, thanks so much. so what's next in the border wall fight? let's talk to a political reporter, policy reporter at cnn today and a former director of the nixon presidential library. thank you both for taking time to be with us. so it seems, eliza, the president, maybe some might look at it as he gave a little something here to open up the government. is there a fair expectation that democrats will give a little in the next three weeks to make sure it doesn't happen again? >> you might give a little on border security. they're certainly not going to give a little on the wall. they just one basically this
5:05 am
round. what the president signed last night was exactly the same as what republicans and democrats were pushing for in december, just a different date. actually, it ended up being a shorter time in total. but fancy pelosi had a press conference last night and was asked, okay, now the government is going to reopen, are you going to be able talk about the wall? she said, i have been clear about the wall. i think the democrats will have to give a little on border security. they don't have any incentive to give the president his wall. they saw him cave. now they will move forward. it's also worth noting that the lawmakers that are brought to the table now, that both the senate and the house are sending appropriators to go meet and hash out this deal. they're appropriators. they work together. i do not see any means that are true hardliners, immigration hardliners on there, so they're going to figure out a way to come to a compromise to keep the government reopened.
5:06 am
>> let's move to representative swalwell yesterday talking about this. >> it's great we're reopening government and these workers will get paychecks, but it really is a crisis in the white house that the best this president can do is extend us three weeks out. we are careening from crisis to crisis when we need long-term certainty for our government. >> take us through this. why is a government shutdown ever even an option? >> well, it's an option in our country because since the 1980s, it's been very difficult for congress to pass a budget. and congressional -- continuous resolutions have been a way to do it because they don't require 60 votes. this is a problem really that is a result of a change in partisanship. as we have become more partisan in congress, it's become more
5:07 am
difficult to pass budgets. we're the only democracy in the world that tries to function this way. this is not a sign. this is not a good form of american exceptionalism. what happened last week was that members of congress saw just as the public saw the actual consequences of not paying american civil servants. tapped consequences were unacceptable. so people have been framing this as the democrats winning. no, no, no, the american people won. the idea of government and a mature democracy won. you can't play this game for longer than a few weeks without real consequences. so i'm wondering whether this is an option to do again in three weeks. i don't think the president will have this as a real option. i mean when i say that the
5:08 am
shutdown. if negotiations don't go the way he wants with the democrats. >> you have to wonder how many republicans will be behind another shutdown at the same time. eliza, with that said, where do -- where would the blame fall if we go into another shutdown from. >> i think it will fall straight at the feet of the president. he said in his speech on february 15th, we will either go back into another shutdown again or he'll declare a national emergency. like at the beginning of the shutdown, he seems to be taking credit for this. he says he wants his wall. he has made it very clear, he is the one that wants this wall. republicans got on board with the short-term clean resolution, once he backed it. so i do think if he decides that he will veto legislation that doesn't have wall money, if congress can't come to a compromise, that the public will win the president. we saw polling in the last couple weeks, show they were already for this shutdown. >> i want to pivot quickly, tim,
5:09 am
for you, take a look at this picture. i think we have this picture of roger stone yesterday, of course, we know there was an fbi raid on his home. they arrested him. he is indicted now. he is going to be in court again on tuesday. but there was this moment on the steps of the courthouse yesterday, where he came out looking a lot like richard nixon. take a look at this. there we got the peace signs the hands up. there they are. one right after the other. this is a guy that has a tattoo of nixon on his back. what do you make of that obviously intentional gesture? >> yes. that's roger stone likes attention and roger stone is an unapologetic dirty trickster. he admires the dark side of the nixon legacy. that's who he is. that's the world he wants to inhabitant. when he was 19-years-old, he did
5:10 am
some low level but still significant dirty tricks for the nixon campaign. we know this because he actually told the truth in this instance to congress about it. so since 1974, with the end of the nixon era, roger stone has been one of those who said nixon was absolutely right to do the things that he did. so, you know, at this stage in his late 60s, roger stone hasn't changed. and that's what we saw yesterday on display. this is the persona that he likes to play. he is a dirty trickster and proud of it. >> so we've run out of time. thank you both so much. >> thank you. well, the government shutdown is over for at least three weeks. we'll see what happens on the 15th. federal workers who have struggled the last five weeks want to know when they will see those back paychecks. we'll talk with a cup whole works at a federal prison just ahead. and the mueller investigation now rounded up six

5:16 am
than on twitter which i gave to the house committee last december it was. >> jessica, what are you hearing? >> reporter: yeah, you know, really roger stone, you heard it there, pledging to fight this indictment and doing it right now in the public arena on tv. we saw him outside the ft. lauderdale courthouse. tuesday he'll appear in federal court in washington. among the charges are hefty, they include witness tampering, false statements to congress and obstruction. there really is a lot in the underlying details of this indictment that is quite damaging. it raises those questions of what could be to come in this mueller probe and whether there could be conspiracy with wikileaks and russia. within the indictment, there are several times, refers to stone's conversation with senior trump officials. in particular, one part of the indictment that says a senior trump campaign official in july
5:17 am
2016 was directed to contact roger stone about any other releases or damaging information to hillary clinton that might be coming from organization 1, which we know to be wikileaks. what is pertinent about this, this was after the clinton campaign had disclosed that they had been hacked by the russians. you know, it wasn't one contact. this indictment talks about multiple contacts where he kept the trump campaign apprised of wikileaks. we saw several throughout the campaign. really the questions are all there, lurking in the indictment. who exactly directed the senior trump campaign official to contact roger stone? was it potentially the president directly, who is involved? you know, even if there doesn't turn out to be a conspiracy here, could there be any violation of maybe campaign finance laws, if it turns out that the trump team make back channelled with wikileaks to possibly schedule the release of these e-mails for maximum
5:18 am
benefit? so really, this indictment here classic robert mueller, dangles out some additional information without really closing the loop on what mueller knows what he knows in full. you know, and in this indictment, and in the word of stone associate jerome corsi, mueller knows everything. so it's still yet to come this indictment, just another building block, perhaps in what mueller knows. >> jessica snyder, we appreciate it so much, thank you. >> let's talk about that clause that important reference jessica talked about with michael moore, welcome back to the show. >> thanks. >> let me read it here, people were listening on the satellite radio. after the july 22nd, 2016 release of stolen dnc e-mails by organization 1, which is wikileaks, a senior trump campaign official was directed to contact stone about any additional releases and what other damaging information wikileaks had regarding the
5:19 am
clinton campaign. stone, thereafter, told the trump campaign about future releases of damaging material by wikileaks. some say is that not the collusion the conspare race the cooperation this whole campaign is about? >> i think it gets close to that, it's a damming dime. that paragraph alone was written with a lot of intention in the way it was written. we know there are a couple people close to trump who have some appetite for getting information about the russians from hillary clinton. we know that little don trump did that and jared kushner. you tie it back to the meeting in the trump tower in new york. so it's not -- it doesn't strike me as odd to think maybe one of them, if that's where mueller is headed, i think he is close to the achilles heel of the president. >> roger stone says he will not in his word bear false witness against the president. because there is no collusion to discuss or profess. michael cohen said he wouldn't testify, paul manafort said he
5:20 am
wouldn't testify against the president. they since have. do you expect that roger stone is a different case, consider wack we have seen over the last 24 hours? >> i think she a character to say the least. the whole nixon fascination, some of the statements he makes and allegations he comes forward with are just unbelievable. so whether or not he thinks that's bearing false witness or not, i don't know. i think ultimately at the end of the day, these people have people involved in a conspiracy. it's like the hub and spoke of the conspiracy, you have the central actor the president and the spokes go out from the wheel, if you look at the bicycle. these individual actors do things, that's the conspiracy. >> how did you read that clause that senior trump campaign official was directed to do that and the writing in a passive voice instead of saying who this
5:21 am
person was or the position of that person? >> i think bob mueller, particularly because he's a tactician and a skilled prosecutor. he does things for a reason. there is a reason they spelled out the indictment that way. it could very well be the obstructions were delayed as opposed to a direct order. again, there is nothing unusual in this, a person is used to dealing with organized crime, within you have a key figure, instructions are sent through intermedarys to other people. there is nothing different, except in this case, our crime organization seems to be sort of centraled around the trump campaign in the white house as president. >> almost six or seven i guess other indicted individuals as a part of this investigation, those in russia and foreign entities, okay, who have shown up, they have been given a pre scheduled time to show up. we saw what happened yesterday. i think we have cnn exclusive video of rain at home in
5:22 am
ft. lauderdale. why was it handled that way? most of t >> most of the time you let the people enext chu what it this raid. in this indictment, they talk about his misstatements. there seems to be concern that he has notes the closed everyday they knew he had. i guess there is a fear he may destroy some everyday, that something may happen. you also don't ever want to be in a situation where you go in for an arrest warrant and something terrible happens or there is some tragedy like this is a knock at the door. they think there is a home shooting. that's why you have these on videotape. it protects the people going in from allegations they've done something wrong. so i don't know that it was about sending a message. i think you are just seeing that this is, we're not going to play games. we're going to treat this like, we are concerned there might be evidence destroyed button itself on a computer, in the old days, drugs were flushed down the
5:23 am
title. if you can think about that. what evidence may find its way away from the investigators before they do a warrant. >> let me talk about the trump and white house response, sarah sanders when asked mimi colleague john berman, if they want a senior campaign official to reach out, will not answer the simple yes or no. is that because she doesn't no or couldn't answer the question without becoming a part of this case? >> you know, if she doesn't read the indictment before she got out if front of the press, and i got real concerns about the statements she would make at any time. this seems to be the basic thing you would do if you were a press secretary for the white house and saying that the president, she doesn't know and we can't tell. that's about like saying i don't know in the sun is in the solar system. right? all these things are revolving around one individual, this person, it defies credulity at this point. >> and if roger stone as these,
5:24 am
all of these communications with the campaign and the president has no idea, the then candidate has no idea. michael moore, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> you might be wondering who exactly is roger stone, why is the special counsel so interested in him? we will break down why he is such a big player in the russia investigation. plus, the government shutdown is over for a couple of weeks. the big question is, when will these federal workers get that back pay? we'll speak with a couple who work for a federal prison for the last five weeks of their lif

5:28 am
we have reached a deal to reopen the federal government. >> ah, it's been more than three
5:29 am
weeks. >> tears of relief there as president trump announces the end to the partial government shutdown, despite the claim of a deal, this is really what speaker nancy pelosi and let's say some republican versus urged for weeks to open the government first and then talk about border security funding. >> all federal workers are headed back to work. that's the good news. they are hoping there will be a paycheck soon for all that back pay they have. if the democrat stands firm against the wall and the president demands one, on february 15th, we can be in the same place with a shutdown. >> a couple working at a federal prison, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you work as federal law enforcement officer, which means neither of you have been getting your salary the last five weeks. you missed two paychecks now, let me start here with the shutdown is over. you will be paid for work for at least we know the next three
5:30 am
weeks. how do you feel this morning? >> we feel good you know that we're going to be getting a paycheck, but that's just you know three weeks away it could change and go back to, back to not having a paycheck. so it's kind of unsettling not knowing where this is going to go. >> do you know when you will get the back pay? >> we are unsure when we will get the back pay. i did see while searching a white house representative said there is going to be an urgency in receiving our back pay so that will be nice if that is true. >> yeah. the law that the president signed said legally you have to get it to federal employees as soon as possible. the hope is it's before two fridays from yesterday. charles, let me ask you, how has your family been impacted over these past five weeks working out pay? >> we've had to learn to budget really well, save money for gas to go to work and then come back
5:31 am
home and stay at home and spend family time i guess, more family time. >> you work at a federal prison there in terre haute, as i understand, and one of the insults of the last five weeks and you know it didn't occur to me until i started reading the notes from my producer, is that you were not paid as corrections officers but the inmates while they were incarcerated doing work were paid. is that correct? >> that's correct. that's correct. >> how did that feel? >> that was just a -- >> disheartening. >> it doesn't make sense. >> so the government shutdown ended according to reporting by a combination of pressure from senate republicans, mitch mcconnell, name lip, but also what we saw at the airports across the country. what is your feeling on that being the straw to use theically say, that broke the camel -- use
5:32 am
the cliche that broke the camel's back. >> this wasn't a win for tsa and people with air miles. people were getting delayed on their flights, that's the reason this ended. not because of the government employees that weren't getting paid. that's pure and simple the way it is. the general public was affected by fought going through the line fast enough. that's what it's about. >> so it wasn't about, from your perspective, about the family suffering, it was -- and correct me if i'm wrong here, i don't want to put words in your mouth, but i want everybody to understand your sentiment -- it wasn't about the family suffering, it was people on airplanes and the i guess inconvenience of having to wait? >> that is correct. >> so you support the president, i understand, and the concept for a wall. is that correct? >> yes. >> we believe something needs to be done. if people want to come to america, come do it the proper way. be a public citizen.
5:33 am
get a social security card, pay tax like everybody else that lives and works in america already does. >> the president says that many of the federal workers who were not being paid for the last five weeks supported what he was doing with the shutdown. are you in that number? did you support the shutdown? >> yes. >> yes. >> so you supported the shutdown. even considering what it did to your family personally? >> yes. >> absolutely. if it's going to fend our country and keep illegals out, coming in, hurting my children that don't belong here, yes, i'm all for the wall. >> do -- will you support, if it comes to that, shutting the government down again in three weeks? >> it's going to happen. it's going to shut down again. there is no doubt in my mind. >> okay. so how are you preparing for this? >> we're not spending money. we're holding our money and it's just going to happen and they're
5:34 am
going to continue to do this and hold this over our heads until there is something put in place that prevents us from going if prison and being around inmates that are up and our client tell is different than tsa. our clients don't have bad days every once in a while. it's every day. it's not because someone is mad they're delayed in the line. we're going in there dealing with these people every day and it's just going to happen again, until they exempt us from being a part of this shutdown, it's going to continue to happen. >> so when you say they are going to hold this over your head until they get the wall. who is the "they" here? >> that would be the republicans. >> that would be all the people that can't make a decision for the american people to stop the childishness that's going on. they don't look out for the american people. they're not paying people. >> we don't stop what we're doing at the prison. our daily operations continue to
5:35 am
go, regardless of whether we like someone or not. we have to have a working relationship. if we don't like them, we can them them we don't like them. we will walk out that front door with them regardless of what happens inside of that prison. >> charles and jill gilbert, thank you so much. i am glad you are getting paid for your work again. hopefully, you don't have to go through this in three weeks. >> thank you. >> have a good morning. why is special counsel robert mueller so interested in roger stone? why does the arrest mean so much? we will break down his roam in the russia investigation. plus, it took search teams three days to find that missing boy in north carolina. they say casey hathaway is in good spirits now. we got an update. oh!

would put partisans aside and propose fair border security. one of the thing that's changed is the fact that many democrats have acknowledged now part of the border security plan for them would be increased barriers. but these increased barriers need to be at places of vulnerability. that's why we have homeland negotiations come income, in a bipartisan committee. >> one analyst said this was the most pointed shutdown in history, president trump did not get anything out of it. moving forward, what is the president willing to give to make sure we don't get into another shutdown in three weeks? >> i don't think that president sees this as a pointless shut down. the president is committed to the safety and security of the american people. he will not back down on that that's a promise he made on the campaign trail he plans to keep. he wants to have this done the right way and wants bipartisanship. the fact that many democrats are coming to the table -- >> i'm sorry, madison.
5:51 am
>> when you dit down with those democrats what is he willing to give? negotiate, he is the chief negotiator, right, he's this great negotiator, what is she willing to give in order to make sure that the government does not shut down again? >> so he's talked about that three-year extension on daca to make sure that congress has the adequate amount of time that they were previously requested to make sure they get a deal on daca. he talked about an extension on tps. part of that is the border security and comprehensive immigration reform. this isn't just about the wall. it's about so much more than that. it's something that people across this country have been disappointed about for many, many years, long before president trump took office. we expected our congressmen, republicans and democrats to fix the broken system. for decades they haven't done this, things have come to a point they need addressed. republicans and democrats see

that and are talking about that, i think we're in a much better position we were one or two months ago when it comes to the negotiation. >> a lot of people say this had nothing to do with the shutdown. this was an argument and a battle between president trump and nancy pelosi. is president trump willing to at least back down on that number, that $5.7 billion for a wall? >> you know, i don't think this is about just president trump and nancy pelosi. when we look at the democrats, a lot of them are going against nancy pelosi, they're frustrated with her leadership and they're coming to the table and offering different things than she is. yes, we're all happy the shutdown ended. this isen a democrat or republican issue. anybody wanted to see a shutdown, that itself the most ridiculous thing people said republicans love shutdowns, we don't want to see anybody without pay. it's unfortunate that it came to this but it ultimately did. >> let me ask you, that's a very good point you make, if these negotiations in the next three weeks fall apart, are there
5:53 am
going to be senators, republican senators supporting another shutdown? >> you know, i can't speak as to what republican senators will do. but i know the president is leaving all options on the table, one of those being declaring a national emergency, which is still an option he is considering. >> thank you so much, madison, we appreciate your time being here. >> thank you, absolutely. >> this note here, when madison gesiotto says nobody wants a shutdown, the president has literally said, this country needs a good shutdown, literally used those words. coming up, it took three days to find the three-year-old boy that went missing in north carolina, authorities say he is back safely with his family now. an update when we come back.
