sue, you've been waiting for this moment. actual snow produced by nature on the ground. good morning, america. breaking news. shutdown stalemate. the government now closed for a third day, after republicans and democrats fail to reach a deal overnight. now, a crucial vote coming at noon, as hundreds of thousands of workers are forced to stay home. president trump's press secretary sarah sanders is here live. blizzard warning. a new winter storm moving through the midwest right now, bringing whiteout conditions and more than a foot of snow. cars sliding off the road, hundreds of flights cancelled. the new warning for rush hour and where the storm is heading next. women rule the night. >> we've proven we are potent and powerful and viable. >> the time's up movement takes center stage at the s.a.g. awards. james franco in the spotlight as he faces sexual misconduct allegations. hollywood tries to move forward. the powerful moments overnight,

with all-female presenters and women winning big. ♪ can't stop the feeling and the super showdown is set. >> touchdown, amendola! >> tom brady taking the patriots to the big game for the eighth time. and the eagles flying high. >> touchdown, alshon jeffery! >> pummeling the vikings. now aiming for their first super bowl win ever. the countdown to the big game starts now. and good morning, america. you said it, robin, the super bowl is set right now. patriots going for a sixth title. this is the play -- >> oh, my goodness. >> -- that did it. >> coming from behind the way they did. oh, by the way, brady did play. did you see coach bill belichick? oh, that was great catch. look at that emotion on the field. clearly excited by the win.

meanwhile, a lot of excitement in philadelphia, as well. i don't know, the crisco didn't help in greasing the poles. they were able to climb high, celebrating the team's huge victory. >> t.j. will have more on that coming up. first, the government shutdown. now entering its third day. key senate vote scheduled for noon. sites around the country affected. we just saw philadelphia. in philadelphia today, the liberty bell is closed to visitors. >> and here in new york, the statue of liberty will be open today, but only because the state stepped in with $65,000 a day to keep sites like that open. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce is on capitol hill for us tracking the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. from a shutdown u.s. capitol, we're now in day three of this. plenty of negotiations. lots of optimism. this morning, there's still no deal. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are concerned the

longer this drags out, the harder it may be to find a resolution. after a late night of negotiations, lawmakers hit a dead end yet again. talks will continue. >> we have yet to reach an agreement on path forward that would be acceptable to both sides. >> reporter: bipartisan lawmakers hoped to hammer out a compromise over the weekend. overnight, no deal. >> the shutdown should stop today. let's step back from the brink, let's stop victimizing the american people, and get back to work on their behalf. >> reporter: the latest plan, a temporary fix to keep the government open for three more weeks. and a promise to tackle immigration. ♪ we should not be moved >> reporter: democrats are insisting any spending bill must include protections for those 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. as children. but republicans say they won't negotiate until the government reopens. >> an issue of this sensitivity needs to be negotiated in good faith, not in the middle of a

government shutdown with a gun to our heads. >> reporter: the pressure is mounting on the president, too. the senate democratic leader says compromise was on the table but fell through. that deal would have protected d.r.e.a.m.ers in exchange for giving president trump full funding for his border wall. >> i believed we might have a deal twice, only for the president to change his mind and walk away. the president must take yes for an answer. >> reporter: that plan would be a tough sell with conservative republicans who want broader immigration reforms. and house democrats don't like the idea of giving trump his wall. >> all of the money that he wants for his wall? >> $20 billion. >> oh, come on. by the way, is that $20 billion going to be paid by mexico? >> reporter: the shutdown now in day three. some national memorials are already closed. hundreds of thousands of federal workers are now in limbo, forced to stay home without pay. >> we don't know what that's going to look like. whether it's going to be a few

days, a few weeks. or whether it's going to drag on. >> reporter: other more essential jobs like air traffic controllers, border guards, and members of the military will have to work without being paid. for now. the senate is slated to vote on this temporary plan here today at noon. but right now, it's on track to fail. there are big questions about whether this plan can pass in the house. if they can get it passed and they reopen the government, we could be right back here in this same position when funding runs out again in just three weeks. >> that's true. as you said, a lot of big questions. there's a new abc news/"washington post" poll out showing democrats solidifying their lead heading into the midterm elections? >> reporter: yeah, robin. as the blame game continues here on the poll, our new poll shows democrats holding a 12-point lead among registered voters. amongst likely voters, a 14-point lead. one factor for their strong

footing, democrats seemed to have locked down their base, specially among women and minorities. let's get more from senior white house correspondent cecilia vega. we saw in mary's piece talk of the meeting with senator schumer and the president. since then, the president has taken a step back from the public negotiations. >> reporter: there is concern that the president trump could go rogue and upend the negotiations. there's been a lot of widespread reporting that many in the white house would prefer to see the president stay on the sidelines. others say, in this day and age, this president gets a lot of business done over text and cell phone. the last time the president met directly with anybody was on friday, i'm told. he did make a number of phone calls this weekend. talking primarily to allies on hill and top aides here in the white house. i'm told he didn't speak with any democrats.

this question of optics this white house is concerned with. over the weekend the rnc tweeted out this picture of the president making some of those phone calls from the office. the tweet says, while the democrats are playing political games, donald trump continues to work on behalf of the american people at the white house. that photo was ridiculed online. because he was working at a completely empty desk. >> startling ad. let's take a look. >> president trump is right. build the wall. deport criminals. stop illegal immigration now. democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants. president trump will fix our borders and keep our families safe. >> i'm donald trump and i approve this message. >> reporter: you hear the president there saying he -- this is his ad. officials here at the white house have tried to distance

themselves. democrats are outraged. speaker paul ryan says this ad doesn't do anything to help. it's not productive. it hits on a sentiment that's widely encouraged and back by this white house. the president said democrats are far more concerned with illegal immigrants, george. let's hear from the white house right now. white house press secretary sarah sanders joins us. thank you for joining us. let's begin with the ad right there. is it appropriate for the president to say the democrats could be complicit in murder? >> look, the president's number one job as commander-in-chief and as the president is national security. and we cannot protect american citizens. we cannot protect this country if we don't secure our border. that's the point the president is trying to make. it's the same point that he's made since he first started running for office and certainly since he was sworn in as president. it's absolutely appropriate for the commander-in-chief of this country to do everything he can

to make sure he's protecting our citizens. >> might make it more difficult to get the negotiations with the democrats going. does the president support a guaranteed vote on daca in the senate, in the house, in return for the extension of government funding? >> look, the president's focus is making sure we get the government reopened. it's outrageous that democrats are holding our national security hostage. that they're not allowing our brave men and women who are out there on the front lines to be compensated, their families taken care of. the veterans' association taken care of, and the children's health care promise, all on the line while democrats play political games. first and foremost, we have to reopen our government. we have to fund our government. as soon as that is done, we're more than happy to negotiate on responsible immigration reform. the president is clear on what he wants. he wants to make a deal on daca. the fact that democrats are trying to pretend as if that is something that we haven't put on

the table is disingenuous and a bit ridiculous. >> sarah, as you know, not everyone on capitol hill agrees that the president has been very clear. you have senator lindsey graham, a republican, saying he hasn't been a reliable partner. senator chuck schumer saying it's like negotiating with jell-o. even senator mcconnell says he can't figure out what the president wants. >> i think then maybe sometimes they're not paying attention. the president has laid out his priorities and principles. he invited the media in to see and have that discussion. we have laid out that we want to make a deal on daca. we want to secure the border through the border wall and border security. we want to end chain migration. and we want an end to the visa lottery system. i don't know what is confusing about that. i know that sometimes members like senator schumer need help getting through big policy negotiations. but the president has laid out what he wants. if they need help understanding what the president wants, we would send people out there. >> do you really want to question senator schumer's

knowledge of the legislation? >> look, if he's unclear about what the president laid out, then possibly. i think, frankly and sadly, that senator schumer is playing games. he wants to make it like this is the president's fault. and that the president has not been anything but clear. but he has. we've laid out multiple documents explaining and outlining exactly what we're asking for. right now, we want to reopen the government. as soon as we do that, we're more than happy to start negotiations on responsible immigration reform. and the republicans are the only ones that have laid that out and laid it out, both in principle from the white house and in legislation by house republicans. >> if the president's top priority is getting the government reopened, why not call everybody to the white house today? democrats, republicans, at the oval office. back when president obama was in office, that's what donald trump called on him to do. >> look, the president has been engaged. i think different circumstances call for a different type of leadership. he's been incredibly engaged.

he's spent a lot of time on the phone. >> no meetings this weekend, sarah. >> he's had a lot of meetings internally with the staff here in the white house. they have been going back and forth with negotiations. everybody wants to talk about the last four days. this negotiation has been going on for several weeks. the president has had multiple meetings over the course of that time. bringing in republicans, democrats, laying out what we want. the thing that i find so baffling is that democrats support everything in this piece of legislation. the fact that they won't simply vote for it to reopen our government, fund our military, protect the most vulnerable children, is mind-boggling, i think, to everyone across the country. >> we're out of time. do you think the government is going to open today? >> i sure hope so. certainly, again, for the men and women of our great military. for the children across this country that are part of the c.h.i.p. program. and all of the various federal government employees. i hope that democrats will stop

playing games and come to the table and get serious about what they were elected to come here and do. >> sarah sanders, thank you for your time. >> thanks, george. now to the new winter storm blasting the midwest with heavy snow, whiteout conditions, just as people start morning commutes. abc's adrienne bankert is in snow-covered mankato, minnesota, where they're facing a blizzard. >> reporter: a blast of snow to start the workweek. this morning, blizzardlike conditions take aim at the midwest. in south dakota, cars spin out. and slide right off the road. this truck driver barely able to keep a grip in dangerous whiteout conditions. outside denver, highways littered with wreck after wreck. i-70 closed in both directions. denver's international airport hit with the biggest snow of the season. workers quickly deiced planes. but hundreds of flights still cancelled. >> it's still kind of a mess. everyone is trying to get on to planes. >> reporter: this morning, more than a foot of snow possible in minnesota. that's how much they're digging out from in southern utah.

and in wyoming, snowfall forces truckers to pull over, chain up, and then wait it out. in texas, reports of tornadoes. this was the scene in bowie county. robin, we talked to department of transportation, they're going to have crews out. they'll be out salting the roads around the clock. a foot of snow, might think about working from home today. robin. >> get a hat on. we gave t.j. a hard time. >> that's right. >> i'm just saying, you see it blowing around. >> he might need that hat in a couple of weeks. super bowl in minnesota. tom brady up against the eagles. of course, this will be the first super bowl in a long time for the eagles. >> tom brady is going to the super bowl. back to you. i mean this is beyond a broken record. it's amazing what they have done. 3 of the past 4 super bowls the patriots have been in.

but to make it to this one, he had to pull off a comeback. that's just typical tom. fourth quarter, patriots down ten. trip to the super bowl on the line. and again, it was brady being brady. >> to the end zone. touchdown! >> reporter: orchestrating a new england comeback. >> what an effort! touchdown, amendola! >> reporter: capped by this toes-down touchdown by danny amendola, that gave new england the first lead since the first quarter. >> tom brady does it again! >> reporter: but the jaguars had one last chance for a win. >> it is knocked down by gilmore! >> reporter: new england and stephon gilmore swatted the hopes away. >> one for the ages in gillette. >> reporter: they head to the tenth super bowl in franchise history. >> never had anything like it. i have had a couple of crazy injuries, but this was pretty crazy. >> reporter: brady played down the ten stitches in his right thumb sustained in an accident

in practice earlier in the week. >> i think it's arrogant to say, yeah, it bothered me, when we had a pretty good game. i wouldn't say that. >> reporter: there was brady's mom. she was battling cancer in the last super bowl victory. cheering her son on in the sky box alongside his wife, gisele. one downside, rob gronkowski went down hard in the first half after an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit. the big question is, will gronk be able to recover in time of the super bowl? meanwhile, the battle of the backup quarterbacks turned out to be a blowout. the eagles dominated the minnesota vikings. >> touchdown, touchdown! touchdown, alshon jeffery! >> reporter: eagles supporters, including actor bradley cooper, cheered the team's return to the super bowl, their first since 2005. and some wild scenes in the city of brotherly love as these wild fans celebrated throughout the night. the last time the eagles were in the super bowl, 2005.

they lost to? the patriots. the eagles fans. we love them. this made a lot of news. the cops in philly actually greased the poles with crisco to try to keep people from climbing them after the game. that is a real thing that happened. it didn't really work. >> for safety. >> the crisco cops, as they called them. >> it's great to see brady's mom doing as well as she is. people are excited about the eagles. did you see this? julie ertz. she's a soccer star. this is the moment she found out her husband, zach ertz, was going to the super bowl. the u.s. women's national team also won last night, beating denmark. julie scored a goal. a very good night for the ertz family. they did really well. let's go over to ginger. >> let's talk about those

families stuck inside. >> when is this going to end? >> reporter: -- we set out to see what you can do to make yo we went to the home of mother of t two and brought the e.r. director, peter shearer. >> i looked at the couch. my heart broke. i said to him, you're not catching the flu. >> reporter: we put a special powder on her kids' hands to see just how quickly germs can spread on surfaces and let them go about their day. then, we used a special uv light to check out where those simulated germs went. you can see right on his face. you have germs all over the place. look at the remote control. >> if someone is sick, sneezing, coughing, they're going to be shedding viral particles. keep them away from the other kids. >> reporter: let's say nobody else in the house has the flu, what should you be doing in your

studies, it's something that carries very little risk. and is low cost. >> reporter: and germs, of course, don't just live on surfaces. doctors say the most common way the flu is spread is from tiny droplets in the air moving from one person to another. if someone is already sick at home, the doctors say, go ahead and use one of these. keep them quarantined. use one of these. these may help prevent the flu. remember that the flu virus can stay in your system and be contagious for up to seven days after you get the flu. >> seven days after. i like the gargling with green tea. we're getting questions. this one from kellie. she says, i get the flu shot every year. i am 55. i didn't get it this year. is it too late? >> all right, kellie, it's not too late. our medical team actually tells us that the virus will be circulating for another couple of months. the flu shot really still is the best way to protect yourself. >> thank you, gio. coming up, the hero firefighter who saved a child. you see them dropped from the

expect from retailers going forward. >> reporter: how does it know what you have taken? there are hundreds of cameras throughout the store. amazon has the same types of technologies as those used in self-driving cars, computer vision, and sensor fusion. >> when you leave, our just-walk-out technology adds up your cart. and charges your amazon account. your receipt is sent to the app. and you can keep going. >> this style of shopping definitely targets the millennials. they're all about smartphones. they're about saving time. speed. they're health conscious, they want to see the labels. is this vegan? is this gluten-free? is this dairy-free? >> reporter: amazon is not the only big retailer trying to make checkout lines a thing of the past. like at this walmart test site just outside of houston, scan as you go to check out. no cashiers needed. while it's still in the test phase, you may be wondering about the 3.5 million cashier

jobs in the united states. both walmart and amazon say these jobs won't be in jeopardy if the stores spread. the company will change the roles of its employees. >> amazon go. no lines. no checkout. no. seriously. >> reporter: and keep in mind, to shop in this store, you'll need to have the amazon app installed on your phone. guess what else you'll do with the app? buy more stuff from amazon.com, of course. >> of course you will. becky, i know they have had a test store in their head quarters for awhile. you checked it out? >> reporter: i did. i went up to the amazon go store in seattle when they first announced it. they have been testing it with employees. the feedback is interesting. it's all about the food. no sloppy nachos. no eternally boiled hot dogs here. fresh food. dressing on the side. gluten-free options. amazon said, instead of head count for cashiers, they want to employ a ton of food prep people to make sure they can make fresh, healthy food available in
