>> somebody is tired. somebody's a little hoarse. >> somebody's a little delirious. i keep doing the eagles -- >> how are you and dylan going to sit at the same table? >> i don't know. that's my family. dylan is pats nation all the way. i love you, dylan, but it's going to be real ugly. oh look at you. >> are we betting lobsters for cheesesteak at this point? i don't know. >> i don't know. i think we need the stakes to be higher. it's on nbc, too. let's get to our top story, politics. day three of the government shutdown as the new work week begins. but could a deal to end it be hours away now. we have in depth coverage from capitol hill and the white house. let's start with peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. many more americans will feel the impact of this shutdown beginning today. the two sides inching closer together though. that vote as you said set for

noon. right now, it's in the hands of senate democrats. here's the simple question -- do they trust the top republican, mitch mcconnell, do deliver on an immigration bill before next month? and the president has been m.i.a. no deal to end the government shutdown now stretching into its third day. >> let's step back from the brink, let's stop victimizing the american people and get back to work on their behalf. >> reporter: overnight, the senate's top republican mitch mcconnell urging democrats to support a three-week budget extension, while signaling an openness to a vote next month. that vote would address the key flash flashpoint the fate of undocumented immigrants called d.r.e.a.m.ers. chuck schumer not ready to cut that deal but not walking away. >> we have yet to agree on a

path forward that would be acceptable to both sides. >> reporter: jeff flake saying he supports the new gop offer. >> there's been a lot of rhetoric over the last couple of days about whose shutdown this is, who should have the blame. there's enough blame going around. >> reporter: mike pence, delivering a partisan message for troops near the syrian border troops that won't get paid during the shutdown. >> you deserve better. >> reporter: the white house insisting it won't negotiate on immigration until the democrats reopen the government changing the message on its public comment line to take a political swipe. >> unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today because congressional democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities hostage to an unrelated immigration debate. >> reporter: the president, the

self-proclaimed dealmaker, largely absent. speaking exclusively with congressional republicans and members of his cabinet. chuck schumer, who met with him friday described him as unreliable. >> negotiating with this white house is like negotiating with jell-o. >> reporter: the president's re-election campaign releasing this video. >> democrats who stand in our way, will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants. >> reporter: senator tammy duckworth, an iraq war veteran, who lost both legs in combat, not having it. >> i will not be lectured what our military needs by a draft dodger. >> reporter: the president with no public events scheduled. who is affected by the shutdown? essential government services are up and running. you'll get your mail social security checks, v.a. hospitals are open with national parks.

they will be operating with reduced services. but what they call the nonessential services. they're suspended. no military death benefits. passport renewals are going to be delayed. and 800,000 federal workers told to stay home without pay until the funding is restored. that can put a stress on families. for more on where things stand right now, let's bring in kasie hunt who is on capitol hill and has not slept all weekend. good morning. this is a real stunner. we're in some suspense here about what could happen at noon. >> it is going to be a dramatic morning here on capitol hill savannah. we don't know whether or not the government will open at noon. what are democrats going to do? they're going to huddle behind closed doors this morning. and the main question is going to be do enough of them start to feel as though americans are blaming them for this dramatic shutdown? republicans are hoping that there are as many as ten of them who feel that way, and who will

be willing to vote with them to reopen government this afternoon. but the trust levels are just so incredibly low that it's going to be a really dramatic debate behind the closed doors. >> let's say they do reopen the government today. what will happen to the d.r.e.a.m.ers? >> reporter: that is the foundation of all of this hoda. there are no guarantees. democrats have to decide do they trust mitch mcconnell to move forward and put an immigration bill on the floor? even if they do there's a question of what the president is going to do. and any immigration bill to help the d.r.e.a.m.ers has to pass the house of representatives. there's so many conservatives, that the sense is they need to know that the president would need to be onboard. there's so many twists and turns. that march 5 thth deadline is when some of them face deportation.

>> thank you very much. now, to powerful scenes in cities across the country this weekend. millions taking to the streets for the second annual women's march, demanding equal treatment and social and political change. kristen welker has that story. >> reporter: good morning to you. the streets here in d.c. were packed over the weekend. the marches, marking the anniversary of president trump's inauguration and the first women's marches, that brought out millions of protesters into the streets, many wearing those now-famous pink hats. this year the #metoo movement to the looming midterm elections, there was new momentum. >> this is what democracy looks like. >> reporter: a chorus of women raising their voices for what they say is a revolution. >> this is what america looks like. >> reporter: protesters flooding the streets nationwide marking a year since the first women's march. this year again, many

expressing opposition to mr. trump's policies while demanding equal treatment and pay for women. the president taking to twitter on saturday, seeming to troll the protesters writing that it was a perfect day to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. lowest female unemployment in 18 years. the tweet coming as women in hundreds of cities from new york to los angeles -- >> hey, hey, ho ho donald trump has got to go. >> reporter: -- to the nation's capital. >> we need a leader. >> not a betweener. >> reporter: all across the world, london paris and rome were energized by the #metoo movement. >> people haveare starting to realize and know that it is all the time and it affects everybody. >> reporter: celebrities lending their voices and star power.

together and climb down the side of the buildings. a witness told nbc news the attackers seemed to be targeting foreigners and people working with the government. the u.s. state department is working with local authorities to determine if any of the victims are american. >> also this morning, there are new developments in the scandal surrounding missouri's governor eric greitens. he's at the center of controversy involving an admitted affair and alleged blackmail. now he's speaking out in his first interview since that news broke. and blake mccoy is in jefferson city missouri for us this morning. >> good morning. the governor here is defiant. admitting to the affair but insisting he did not try to blackmail the woman. now the tawdry details of the affair are threatening to take him down. >> this morning, missouri's governor is under fire. and fighting back. denying allegations he tried to blackmail a woman he had an affair with using a naked photograph of her. >> this was a consensual relationship. there was no violence. this was all consensual.

>> st. louis' fox 2 ktvi landed the first tv interview with governor eric greitens since news of the affair broke two weeks ago. just hours after his state of the state speech -- >> thank you guys. >> tv station kmov aired the bombshell report with the ex-husband of the other woman, greitens' hairdresser. the husband revealing secret recordings he says he made of their counseling sessions detailing the 2015 affair before greitens was elected governor. nbc news has not verified the tape, and we've altered her voice. vernor. nbc news has obtained the tape. and we altered her voice. >> he stepped back and i saw a flash through the blindf >> there was no blackmail. there was no threat of blackmail. there was no threat of a photograph and blackmail. those things are absolutely false. >> lawyers for the governor's

mistress say she is extremely distraught that the information has been made public. it is very disappointing that her ex-husband betrayed her confidence. fallout has been swift. in st. louis, where the city prosecutor is investigating, and at the capital in jefferson city. >> in the state of missouri -- >> the only allegations, but i don't know any woman that would go to her husband and lie about having an affair with another man. and how it happened. >> reporter: this morning eric greitens a former navy s.e.a.l. who campaigned as a family man -- >> you elected us who fight for you. >> reporter: -- now fighting for his political career. political pressure here in missouri is mounting. several fellow republicans have now come out to call for his resignation. but so far this morning the governor says he will not resign. savannah and hoda? >> all right, blake, thank you. >> also on this busy monday morning a lot of bleary eyed people because of a match-up for super bowl lli. it is all set as we mentioned at

giselle, posting on instagram, what a game. the pats will face the philadelphia eagles who easily handled the minnesota vikings in a 38-7 rout. >> legarrette blount touchdown. >> reporter: overnight, philly fans flooding the streets to celebrate the team's first trip to the super bowl since 2004. city workers actually greasing up light poles to keep those fanatic fans from climbing them. >> we love you. >> reporter: for the patriots this was their third afc title in four years. >> how about tom brady today? >> reporter: for the 40-year-old brady, another come-from-behind squeaker. >> happy we won. we're going to minnesota. >> reporter: clinching the game this amazing tiptoe touchdown by don danny amendola with just seconds to go.

some good news out of that story. on the northwest side of this we have the potential for blizzard-like conditions. not only will we see several inches of snow. but we have wind gusts up around 50 miles per hour. that will toss the snow around which will reduce visibility and make things slow going on the roads. we have icing across new england. the cold will be the main story today, back through minneapolis. we could see delays at the airports too. ahead of it we could see several inches of rain move up and down the east coast by tuesday. ron! something's going on at schwab. oh really? thank you clients? well jd power did just rank them highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms... again. and online equity trades are only $4.95... i mean you can't have low cost and be full service. it's impossible. it's like having your cake and eating it too. ask your broker if they offer award-winning full service and low costs. how am i going to explain this? if you don't like their answer ask again at schwab. schwab, a modern approach to wealth management.
