11:30 pm
>> over. >> okay. done. hey. we have a problem with chocolate, i tell you that. >> get into the coffee business. /s hill skpoe we will hello and welcome do or viewers watching from around the world. i'm rosemary church and this is cnn newsroom. signs in washington there could be another government shutdown. that's because the president and lawmakers need to make a deal on border security funding by friday. but negotiations reportedly stalled over the weekend and accusations are flying around the white house about why democrats are not playing ball. boris sanchez explains. >> reporter: sources familiar with both sides of the
11:31 pm
negotiations between democrats and republicans on keeping the government open and funded past friday's deadline indicate that both sides are at an impasse. not only on funding for the president's long-promised border wall, but also specifically on a cap proposed by democrats on funding for a specific number of beds inside i.c.e. detention centers. democrats have argued that they want to make sure that immigration and customs enforcement are detaining criminals and not just regular migrants. on the other side, republicans are arguing that democrats are trying to limit the ability of i.c.e. agents to do their jobs. the president weighed in on this several times on twitter over the weekend, arguing that democrats involved in these negotiations are being held back by democratic leadership and that they're acting irrationally. the president also sort of misrepresented where democrats actually stand on that bed cap issue. further, his acting chief of staff, milk mulvaney sugtd it's broad.
11:32 pm
we could see a government shutdown. we could see a deal. we could potentially see some sort of executive action. here's more from the acting chief of staff. >> we cannot definitively rule out a shutdown by the end of this week. >> you absolutely cannot and here's why. let's say for sake of this discussion that the democrats prevail and the hard core left wing democrats prevail. it was a democrat congresswoman who put out yesterday about $0 for d.h.s. let's say the hard core left wing of the democrat party prevails in this negotiation and they put a bill on the president's desk with, say, zero money on the wall, 800 million, some absurdly low number. how does he sign that? he cannot in good faith sign that. >> reporter: with talks breaking down, aides told democrats in the house they are prepared to offer up a bill that would keep the government open and fund the department of homeland security through at least september. there is zero indication at this point that the republican-led senate would actually even vote on that bill. no question it is unlikely to get a signature from the president if it ever actually reaches his desk.
11:33 pm
boris sanchez, cnn, at the white house. >> peetder matthews is a political analyst and professor of political science at cyprus college. he joins me now live from los angeles. good to have you with us. >> good to be here, rosemary. >> so, peter, as things stand right now, it looks like another government shutdown is possible come friday with both the democrats and the republicans very far apart on making any deal on the border wall or immigration. what's it going to take to bring the two parties closer together? is that even possible at this point? >> well, the first shutdown cost the country about $11 billion in economic loss, and laid off -- kept 400,000 people working with no pay, over 300,000 people at home furloughed. it was a terrible economic loss. president trump's numbers went down. doesn't look too good right now at this point. the president might take a different course. he has a trump card called the national emergencies act. he might declare a national
11:34 pm
emergency and get money from other sources in the government which the laws allow him. there are only two laws on the books and this one act codify ands shows him how to do it. that is kind of a critical situation if he does that and many, many democrats and republicans are against the national emergency being declared by him. >> i mean, if he goes ahead and does clee claire a national emergency in the end, he would have to have congress on board and ultimately the courts would decide this. and it doesn't look good for him. but the optics would be that he had tried, at least. is that what he's going for here? >> it will certainly help him hold onto his base of 30, 35% of the minority. on the other hand, that national emergency is more precarious than we think it is. once he declares it, it gives him powers he doesn't have under the constitutional framework. he can do marshal law with it or seize americans assets, shutdown the internet. when this congress votes, the majority to block the emergency
11:35 pm
declaration, and, of course, they can sue him in court, take him to the supreme court. but the court might decide in his favor. there are a lot of things that are not certain at this point if he does that. >> you think his declaration of a national emergency is more likely come friday? or perhaps even before friday once he determines there's no way that the two parties are coming together here? >> it is very difficult to say which way he'd go. whether he'd allow the government shutdown. he's learned his lesson with the government shutdown. it cost him a lot of popularity and pain and suffering in terms of the workers themselves and the federal government, but also the people that actually rely on those services. so he actually might go with the national emergency. might be a lot easier for him to do that and show that he tried. he might want to show his followers, i actually tried this, even if the court strikes me down. >> president trump has said that the democrats want a government shutdown. what do you say to that? who would want a shutdown?
11:36 pm
>> no one wants a shutdown except possibly president trump. it's ridiculous. many republicans don't want the shutdown either. otherwise he could have gotten the whole budget -- pass for the wall funding when he had a republican majority just a couple months ago, right? he couldn't even do that. the real problem here, rosemary, is undocumented immigration is not due to a wall or lack of a wall. it's due to the he can maeconom situation across the border. it droves people from mexico to come here after farm erdos went out of business because american corporations dumped their corn over there through nafta and other kinds of things, low wages paid there. he needs to look at that macroeconomic situation, work on getting mexico to raise the wages there, raise the environmental standards so mexicans can buy our products and mutual prosperity and middle class jobs won'ting going to mexico. he's not going for the structural change that has to be made with nafta. he's going for a quick fix wall to get votes. very unfortunate. >> we're mid february here. we've already had the longest
11:37 pm
government shutdown this country has ever seen, and there are a lot of government workers right now very concerned that there is a possibility of a second government shutdown. we don't know if that ultimately will occur. but talk to us about the optics of that, as far as those people watching from afar and overseas countries, seeing the way that business is done in this country. what would their opinion be at this point? what's the impact? >> not a very positive one about how the united states runs our government, not with this president. this hasn't happened under other pittsburgh pirates, this extent. it seems we're not together in terms of our leadership and other countries probably won't respect that very much. more importantly, if actual government workers are so uncertain, they already suffered not getting paid over a month, many had to rely on trying to get food stamps going to soup kitchens, their children didn't get fed, they couldn't pay their mortgage, their rents, it's demoralizing to have one fourth of the government workers in this situation for 35 days.
11:38 pm
it's unconscionable. this president has to get it together and agree with congress to settle this thing in an amicable rational manner that will help everyone around. >> all right. peter matthews, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate your analysis. >> thank you, rosemary. >> virginia governor ralph northam says he can help his state heal. a week ago he was facing calls to resign after a racist photo from his year book surfaced. but since then, two other top government officials have been hit by scandals. as kaylee hartung reports, all three men are refusing to resign. >> reporter: over the course of the past week, depending on the day, it was a question of which one of virginia's top three lawmakers could survive their respective scandal. all three of these men, all democrats, now saying they will not resign, starting with virginia's governor ralph northam who admitted to wearing black face when he was in
11:39 pm
college. he spoke over the weekend saying he is best suited to help the people of the commonwealth heal from this difficult week that they have experienced. virginia, a place with a history of racial division over the course of the last 400 years, this past week being a reminder of a not so distant past of those same troubles. meanwhile, lieutenant governor justin fairfax facing accusations from two different women of sexual assault. he is calling for an investigation, saying that an investigation would clear his name. he wants the fbi to get involved. but both of these women saying they will testify if impeachment proceedings do take place here in virginia's legislature on monday morning, in fact, house of delegates member patrick hope, he's saying he will introduce articles of impeachment which will be taken to a vote on the house floor, only if the speaker of the house allows it. it doesn't seem that that will be the case. but democrats widely asking for his resignation. he continues to say the allegations against him are
11:40 pm
unsubstantiated and demonstrably false. the week of chaos will continue into this next week we expect here in virginia. kaylee hartung, cnn. >> the crowded field of democrats hoping to take donald trump's job just got even bigger. senator amy klobuchar of minnesota announced her run for president on sunday in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. our suzanne malveaux was right there with her. >> reporter: senator amy klobuchar jumping into the 2020 waters, making the announcement along the mississippi river in her home state of minnesota. >> let us cross the river of our divides exami divides and walk across our sturdy bridge to higher ground. >> reporter: the 58-year-old third term senator talked up her heart land heritage and her ability to get things done. >> i will look you in the eye.
11:41 pm
i will tell you what i think. and no matter what, i'll lead from the heart. >> reporter: klobuchar joins an increasingly crowded democratic field, including fellow senate judiciary committee members cory booker and kamala harris. it is from that committee perch last fall that klobuchar captured the national spotlight with her questioning of then supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. >> so you're saying there's never been a case where you drank so much that you didn't remember what happened the night before or part of what happened? >> you're asking about -- yeah, black out, i don't know, have you? >> reporter: the exchange for which kavanaugh later apologized went viral. >> could you answer the question, judge? that's not happened? is that your answer? >> yeah, and i'm curious if you have. >> i have no drinking problem, judge. >> nor do i. >> reporter: klobuchar said she was stunned by the moment which led her to discuss her own experience growing up with an alcoholic father. >> my dad who is 90 now
11:42 pm
struggled with it throughout his life and finally got treatment and is sober. >> reporter: with her national profile elevated, klobuchar coasted to reelection in 2018, with 60% of the vote. winning 42 counties carried by donald trump in 2016. >> you go where it is uncomfortable, not just where it's comfortable. and that's how we're going to win the midwest. >> reporter: a graduate of yale university, klobuchar interned for fellow minnesota walter mond mondal in his senate office. >> i thank senator mondale who was a mentor to me. >> reporter: he ran in 1984, geraldine ferraro, the first woman on a major party ticket opened her eyes to the future of women in politics. >> for me it was a moment when i knew that anything and everything was possible for women in the united states of america. >> reporter: in 1998, klobuchar was elected attorney of
11:43 pm
minnesota's most populist county. eight years later she became the first woman elected to represent the state in the u.s. senate. >> i left minnesota with my husband and our daughter and loaded up our saturn with our college dishes and a shower curtain from 1985. >> reporter: on capitol hill, klobuchar has partnered with republicans on issues such as online privacy, workplace harassment and prescription drug costs. earning respect across the aisle. bipartisan credentials klobuchar hopes will give her an advantage in the campaign to come. >> suzanne malveaux with that report. so now at least 11 democrats are either running or exploring a run for president. six of them are women. well, the acting u.s. defense secretary has touched down in afghanistan on an unannounced trip. patrick shanahan's visit comes ahead of the munich security conference later this week.
11:44 pm
it also comes after u.s. cease-fire talks with the taliban and reports of a partial u.s. troop withdrawal. shanahan insists he has not been told to step down the number of u.s. forces. grace notes at the grammys where it was a big night for women and hip-hop. just ahead, a look at the top winners. back in just a moment. this is the all-new chevy silverado. it's beautiful. beefy and mean looking. it's the strongest, most advanced silverado ever. the cab is bigger than the last generation. it's the first truck i've seen make you look small. but that's not all... whoo! oh my... whoa! the silverado has more cargo volume than any competitor. very impressive.

11:51 pm
and casey must graves won four awards including album of the year. and for more on the music awards, let's bring some shishi yang, an entertainment journalist and she joins me from los angeles. good to see you. >> good to see you, too, rosemary. what an incredible night in music. i have to say the grammys is one of my favorite awards shows to cover because there is something so beautiful about the power of music bringing together people from all walks of life, musician from different genres and i was so excited to see the female empowerment movement that was in the room tonight. it's really refreshing to see that because, if you remember last year's grammys, was actually plagued with a #grammys so male controversy. >> as you point out, women, the big winners this year -- and of course, they took to the stage in such great
11:52 pm
in her speech when she won the best new artist award saying women really stepped up, how did that play out? what was the response there? >> i think the response was definitely shocking because, you know, dua lipa was not only the first artist to call it out but ariana grande said she wouldn't be aing because initially they wanted her to perform a few of her songs but she did not want to comp husband her artistic integrity. we've definitely seen a movement of female artists being very candid about sfanding up for what they believe in. alicia keys did a fabulous job hosting the entire show. and she sat the tone in the opening monologue by bringing up her entire girl gang.
11:53 pm
she had lady gaga with her, jennifer lopez and most surprising of all, michelle obama. they were so excited to see her. >> and as you point out, alicia keys, spectacular talent. it was great to see a woman take charge of the show. i do want to take note of childi childish gambino's win. but the artist wasn't there to pick up his prize having declined an invitation to perform. why was that? >> childish gambino i've actually interviewed him before, and he is an artist through and through. i think in the beginning this is america it was such a powerful song, and it was an even more powerful music video. and i think he didn't receive the right type of support from the academy in the beginning so he was very vocal ability not wanting to come onto show
11:54 pm
himself on the big night, but he tend ended up winning and this was the first time that a rap song won in this category. and cardib made history by being the first female solo artist to win rap of the year. >> indeed. and of course i want to talk about drake because he called out the grammy's race problem but his speech was actually cut off. what did he say and what might be the ramifications of cutting him off like that particularly when he's talking about a subject like that? >> you know, there was actually a bit of a technical difficulty because i think for the viewers watching at home i think everyone was kind of shocked. i was on my twitter on social media looking at all the reaction and they thought production cut him off on purpose. but his mic actually dropped so i do believe it was a technical
11:55 pm
difficulty. >> it'll be interesting to see how that is received. and just before you go, just an overall sense, what did you think? how did this grammy show compare to others in the past. >> i think it was really exciting. i think alicia keys did an incredible job hosting. j lo's performance was incredible. and i think it was definitely a win for the culture of music and i think everyone was excite today see not only rap and hip hop finally dominating some of the categories and making grammy history but female artists in general really come out and support each other. it's a great time to be a woman. >> yep, and that was clear with this show. thank you so much for talking to us about the grammies. and some great visuals there as we're chatting with you. and thank you so much for joanish us. i'm rosemary church. i'll be back with another hour of news in just a moment. you are watching cnn.
