8:02 am
band. good morning and happy new yea year. on the 12th day of the partial government shutdown, president trump may offer a deal to democrats. mr. trump invited top house and senate lawmakers to the white house this afternoon. the focus they say will be on border security and the wall. officials from the department of homeland security and customs and border protection will be there. the president hasn't talked with democratic leaders face to face for more than three weeks democrats say they're skeptical today's bipartisan meeting will be a serious attempt at negotiation. house speaker designate nancy pelosi promises to pass legislation is to reopen the government as soon as democrats take control of the house tomorrow. the two bill doesn't ilude border wall funding. late last night, press secretary sarah sanders called nancy pelosi's plan a non-starter.
8:03 am
in sanders' words "it fails to secure the border and puts the needs of other countries above the needs of our own citizens." >> everyday the shutdown goes on more government facilities have to close. that includes the smithsonian institution. its 19 museums and galleries along with the national zoo will be offer limits to visitors until further notice. the world's largest collection of museums has stayed open using money left over from its nearly $1 billion budget last year. ed o'keefe is outside the national zoo in washington. good morning. are they still feeding the animals? >> good morning, michelle. they are still feeding the animals but only workers are getting in here today. bad news for anyone hoping to see the animals. staff assure us they will continue to care and feed the 2700 creatures that live here but visitors can't get in until the shutdown is over. across the country, some national park have remained open
8:04 am
but are operating with limited staff. as a result, visitors are leaving behind overflowing garbage bins that pose a threat to wildlife. in california at joshua tree national park, some local business owners are pitching in by restocking bathrooms and emptying trash bins. conservationists warn if the shutdown continues much longer, visitors could cause permanent damage to these natural resources, while the zoo and parks are closed, other departments are also affected. agriculture, justice, home wland security, housing and you are band develop, parts of the state department all closed but the pentagon and v.a. are operating close to normal. the longest shutdown ran 16 days in 2013. if talks fail to come up with abagreement, this shutdown could last far longer. norah? >> it's hurting a lot of people, ed, thank you. the new congress will be sworn in tomorrow. republicans will have a larger majority in the senate while democrats will control the house for the first time in eight years. jerry nadler will become
8:05 am
chairman of the judiciary committee which has the power to subpoena witnesses and documents to investigate president trump and his administration. congressman nadler, good morning and happy new year. we know we are in day 12 of the shutdown, what's the plan the democrats are going to present to the president? >> the budget of the united states consists of 12 bills, five of which have been passed into law, six more that are totally agreed upon the senate passed almost unanimously so our plan is to pass those six bills and send it back to the senate and pass for the one remaining department, department of homeland security pass a continuing resolution to fund it through february so there can be more negotiations but this wn tha president trump has initiated proudly, he claimed it, he's blackmailing the american people because he's feeling abandoned, has been abandoned first by the voters in the historical nine million
8:06 am
majority for democratic candidates for congress a couple months ago, he's being abandon bid his own secretary of defeede by his own secretary of defense. >> well, he was abandoned by his own party. >> well, these people who have eft him, are testifying against him and whatever he feel bes leaguered he returns to his base. so this shutdown is an extremist policy designed to appeal to an extremist base. >> do you think the president will sign a bill and this shutdown could be over with those agencies by thursday? >> he should. he has said in the last day or so or his spokesman said they wouldn't but remember the republican senate passed those six bills almost unanimously a few weeks ago. we'll take the senate bill, pass it again and hopefully they'll pass it and the president should sign it, unless he wants to
8:07 am
create an artificial shutdown of a good part of the government in which this wall controversy has nothing to do with just in order to blackmail the american people. >> is there any budge on the democrat side on a border wall? >> not really at this point. >> that suggest there is might be at another point. >> i don't know that. the fact is, the border wall is a purposeless thing. we're willing to talk about border security and the fact is that people crossing the border are way down this year and last year than previous years. the challenge we have is not people crossing the border that way, it's seem who want political asylum and a wall can't help thatmsves to the first agent so the wall has nothing to do with the problem we have. >> you've had a second child die at the border. how do you fix that? that is the crux of the problem here, these two sides not being
8:08 am
able to sit down. >> it's not a question of the two sides not being able to sit down. it's a question of inhuman policies being followed by the trump administration to try to, as was said by several of their spokespeople, including former chief of staff kelly, to deter people from coming to the border and claiming political asylum based on violence or whatever and in order to do that, we'll make them as miserable as possible and that means that kids die and we're going to have hearings in the judiciary committee and subpoena witnesses and documents if necessary as too why kids are dying in the custody of dhs, why families are being detained, what about the policies of family separation. you still have kids who haven't been returned to their parents after months. this is inhuman and not precedented. it's a deliberate creation of the trump administration which is trying to make things as miserable as possible and if kids die there they're
8:09 am
apparently willing to have that. >> you have a long and contentious history with this president. he once called you one of the most egregious hacks in contemporary politics. >> i regard that as a badge of honor. >> you are about to take over the judiciary committee and you've said that impeachment hearings are something you only resort to in most extreme circumstances. in your view, what are those circumstances? >> well, impeachment is designed as a defense of the reap who would destroy liberty, destroy the separation of powers. if that happens, if you get evidence of that then you have to consider impeachment hearings but we will wait and see what -- and there's certainly allegations but we have to wait and see what theueller investigation comes up with and other investigations looking into it. but we're going to be -- for the
8:10 am
last two years the president has had no oversight and accountability from congress. the republican congress is derelict in its responsibility to provide oversight. we are going use the subpoena power if we have to. we're calling mr. whitaker for instance. we have to protect the mueller investigation. we're calling mr. whitaker who agreed to come in although he can't seem to find a date and we'll subpoena him if necessary. >> is that job one for you when you take over the committee? >> it's one of two jobs. first is to pass hr-1, the democratization bill to guarantee free elections to deal with campaign finance so people can't buy elections so people feel elections are proper and that they control them not plutocrats. >> thank you for sharing and that and that you can for being with us. >> you're quite welcome. michigan is the latest state to make cyber bullying a
