the democratic party's official response cape from a union hall in lanta. stacey abrams whonaire lowly lost the november election t georgia's governor accused the president of abandoning working americans and called the shutdown engineered by the president and blasted his immigration policy. >> democrats stand ready to effectively secure our ports and borders. but we must all embrace that from agriculture to health care to entrepreneurship this america is made stronger by the presence of immigrants, not walls. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer and other democrats are urking abrams to run for the senate next year and she is considering it. vice president mike pence says the president's state of the union address cast an inspiring vision of american great easiest, he says. the vice president just spoke with cbs evening news anchor geo jeff glor. they talked about the partial government shutdown.

>> do you think the shutdown was a mistake? >> i never think it's a mistake to stand up for what you believe in. i think what the american people admire most about this president is he says what he means and he means what he says. in a very real sense. he said there's a crisis at our southern border. he said he was determined to get the funding to build a wall and secure our border and he was willing to take a stand to be accomplish that. now, we agreed to reopen the government for three weeks because after talking to democrat rank and file members of the senate and of the house, we were told that they were willing to work with us. they were willing to fund a barrier at our southern border and to address the other priorities that the president laid out in that common sense approach. we have taken them at their word. but the american people saw this president is absolutely determined to keep his word to secure our border and end the crisis of illegal immigration. >> one line that made news last

night in the state of the union was when the president said "if there's going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation." isn't oversight part of the legislature's job. >> you served in the house more than a decade. >> i did, i did. look, a congressional oversight is a part of the checks and balances of our system, but -- >> isn't he saying that can't happen though. >> what the president referred to last night was partisan investigations. you know you've spoken about the president. you know his feelings about investigations on capitol hill. we don't object to oversight. that's the proper role of committees in the congress. but when it takes on a partisan tint, when it seems more intent on becoming a forum for invective against the president and against the administration, the american people expect better. they want to see the congress addressing the issues that the president laid out last night. i mean, the president laid out a

positive agenda for a growing american economy, for a stronger military, for an america that's addressing the real challenges that are facing american families. that's what the american people want our congress focused on. >> jeff glor joins us now from washington. jeff, hello. it's nine days and counting before we find out what's going to happen with the shutdown. pdid the vice president tell yo about the possibility of another one? >> reporter: yeah, gayle, i said can you guarantee there will not be another government shutdown and he said no, i can't guarantee that. it is interesting to see some of the language the president and the vice president used both last night and this morning. they refer to this as an urgent national crisis. but they're not saying it's a national emergency right now. we're not saying they will declare a national emergency. i think both sides from our discussions with everyone here yesterday are pointing to this bipartisan committee on friday and hoping that some sort of potential solution can emerge

there that maybe both sides can be happy with before we hit this deadline on the 15th. >> all right, jeff. thank you. we'll see more of your interview with the vice president tonight on cbs evening news". in our next hour, senate democratic leader chuck schumer responds to president trump's address and his call for democrats to set aside politics. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >> the president's speech highlighted several of his foreign policy priorities for the year to come including a second summit with north korean leader kim jong-un. michael more rel is acting director of cia. let's first talking about north korea. the president says second summit. the intelligence assessment says north korea has no plans to get red of nuclear weapons. >> the president deserves credit for getting us into negotiations. that's important. but look at what's happened since the first summit. right. >> they've stopped nuclear missile testing.

but they've made no move at all towards denuclearization. we know they continue to do activities on the ground to advance their program. and sanctions have weakened as other nations have loosened their restrictions because things are looking better. and most importantly, kip has a seat on the stage. so what the president has to do at the second summit is has to incentivize or make clear to kim that he's got to move towards negotiations or he's not going to get another summit. >> are you concerned that president trump will promise to formally declare an end to the korean war? >> my biggest concern is that he will cut a deal with kim on icbms. let's get rid of the icbms that threaten the united states and let's not worry so much about the nuclear weapons that threaten the rest of the region. that's my biggest concern. >> the president hinted he would be open to negotiate a new nuclear arms treaty with russia after pulling out of the recent

one. >> this is an important agreement. people are more likely to use short range nuclear weapons than long range. this is an important agreement. the russians have been in violation of it for some time. i think it was the right thing for us to pull out of it to force a new negotiation to bring them back in and to bring the chinese in. that's very important because the chinese are doing things that are in violation of the agreement that they're not part of. so new agreement with the russians that includes the chinese. right thing to do. >> he also says that because of him, the work of the president and his administration, that isis is effectively over. we don't have to worry about that anymore. do you think that's true? >> the intelligence community made very clear with their testimony last week that isis has not been defeated in syria. 30,000 of them. >> then the president said well, my people told me their words were taken out of context. >> those words are on paper. you can look at them. more importantly, yesterday, the commander of the u.s. central

command, general votel said not only do they remain a threat, but if we leave, there's a real chance there will be a resurgence. >> joe votel who he didn't talking to. >> isis stated if we leave, they would consider that a victory. thank you. nine former classmates of virginia's governor are coming to his defense after calls for his resignation over a racist photo. in a letter, the medical school classmates say they don't believe the governor ever engaged and promoted, tolerated or condoned racism. northam has not appeared in public since saturday when he denied he is either person in the photo. he is weighing whether he can stay in office. his would be replacement justin fairfax faces a sexual assault allegation he denies. astlyho a black man at an alabama mall will not be charged. protesters burned american flags last night outside city hall in

his 21-year-old son has a condition where he started losing hair around the seventh grade. only one treatment worked but it wasn't covered by the family's insurance. every three months he travels to canada to buy the medicine. >> there's no reason why an american should pay three times what somebody in canada or europe or mexico has to pay. >> reporter: that sentiment was echoed last night by president trump who promised to slash the cost of prescription drugs. >> i am asking congress to pass legislation that finally takes on the problem of global freeloading and delivers fairness and price transparency for american patients finally. >> reporter: last week the administration proposed a rule to lower prescription drug prices by encouraging manufacturers to pass discounts directlyn to patients instead of giving those rebates to middlemen known as pharmacy benefit managers or pbms.

it says "this historic action moves toward a new system that puts american patients first while bringing new transparency to prescription drug markets." but the pbms oppose the administration's plan saying it will undercut their ability to bargain can drugmaker for lower prices. express scripts, acquired by cigna, is one of the nation's largest pbms. >> we get accused of being the middlemen, but the reality is the most sophisticated employers and health plans employ us to drive better care at a lower cost. in the absence of pbms, patients and plan sponsors would be spending literally billions and billions more on an annual basis. >> reporter: the proposal from the administration would have to be passed by congress. but even if it passes, consumer advocates recommend you shop around for prescription drugs. the way you would for any other product. >> prices can carry by a -- can vary by a lot. it can be $8 at one pharmacy and

$58 down the street. you just don't know until you ask. >> reporter: for john yeagley, reform can't come soon >> to my son, the medicine is priceless. it's given him an entirely new identity. i believe it has meant everything to him. it's made a tremendous difference in his personality and his well-being. >> reporter: if you're wondering if there are lower drug prices out there, our consumer advocates suggest checking online resources like good r.x. and blink health. but even then those prices may not be the lowest. she says the cash price may be lower than your insurance price. i feel funny saying that. it sounds like college again here. you know, it's not a part for your car. it's medicine for your body. >> yeah. feels like college -- did you do well in college? >> excellent. >> thank you. up next, a look at the other headlines including the scary crash of skiing

he described at new american greatness. >> do you think the shutdown was a mistake? >> i never think it's a mistake? >> why? >> to stand up for what you believe in, and i think what the american people admire the most about this president is he says what he means and he means what he says. >> the president says the second summit, what should be the goal of the summit? >> i think the president deserves credit for getting us into negotiations, but they have made no move at all towards denuclearization. >> without the forced applause breaks, it would have been like seven mites long, but there was so much clapping. >> gop lawmakers stood up and sat down so many times it sounded like they were making popcorn with their kneecaps. >> it was an hour of republicans doing this. democrats doing this. and then me doing this is there nothing else on? this is on every single channel.

>> i'm norah o'donnell with bianna cryingia, john ckerson and gayle king, all in our places. bright shinyfaces. president trump is asking congress to stop choose what he calls gritt for america. in last night's state of the uninion addresssi p re tdelintn immigration stance and other partisan positions, but he did call for unity. he also told democrats they will hurt the country if they spend too much time investigating his administration. >> we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise and the common good. if there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. i'm asking you to defend our very dangerous southern border out of love and devotion to our

fellow citizens and to our country. no issue better illustrates the divide between america's working class and america's political class than illegal immigration. >> the president vowed to build a border wall but stopped short of declaring a national emergency. he got 43 standing ovations from both parties. one of them after a tribute to the record number of women in congress. lawmakers also applauded plans to improve infrastructure, cut prescription drug prices and spend more on children's cancer research. >> senate democratic leader chuck schumer joins us from capitol hill. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i want to get your reaction to the line from the president last night when he talked about ridiculous partisan investigations. what was your reaction to the line if there are going t b ifhe i going to ce and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. >> well, that line, like so much of the speech, just was partisan

and self-serving. p stacey abrams showed the president what real leadership was last night. she was compassionate. she was caring. she talked about the plight of her family, the plight of american families. she knows the american dream is out of reach for too many people and fading for others. >> did you take that particular line as a threat? >> i took it that the president is scared. the bottom line is that we are as a country, we've always had congress do oversight over the executive branch. that's how the founding fathers set it up. >> senator, the president also said that were he not in office we'd be at war with north korea. what is your response to that, and does he deserve credit for bringing north korea to the negotiating table? they haven't had a nuclear test or missile launch since the first summit. >> no, but the reports are that north korea still has its nuclear weapons, that it may be building other kinds of weapons

and proceeding along on its nuclear pathway. it's sort of a met afoifrmt the president says one thing and the reality is another. he said after he met with kim jong-un we'll have no nuclear north korea. of course, that's not true. >> senator, apprehensions at the border peaked in 2000 at 1.6 million. last year it was 400,000. so there are many less people crossing the border, and yet the president said last night that we have a moral duty to create an immigration system that protects the lives and jobs of our citizens. are you going to get something done with the president to make sure there isn't another government shutdown? >> i think the president realized that the shutdown that he caused and bragged about was a failure and for this president to seem so impervious to what's going on. in this case i think he touched a hot stove and he knows, it so the real answer for the president is stay out of it. we've set it up so that democrats and republicans, house and senate, can come to an agreement and keep the government open, and if the

president stays out of it, they are very likely to come to a good agreement. >> senator, let me ask you another question about the border. the president called it a moral issue, this question of illegal immigration, and he said no issue better illustrates the divide between america's working class and america's political class than illegal immigration. what was your response to that? >> well, on the one and he's saying that we have more jobs than we've had before, and on the other hand he's saying illegal immigration is taking away all our jobs. as usual, the speech is just filled with total contradictions that don't add up. most americans, i think it's 68 boston, certainly i and most americans, believe that immigration is good for the country. we all want to secure our country, but it's not a crisis. it doesn't demand the government shutdown. >> senator, you made -- have you made progress to avoid a shutdown, we've got to go, can you say yes or no. >> yes, yes. >> you've made progress. >> the committees are making progress. >> yes. >> the president's got to stay out of it. we can get it done. >> all right. >> senator schumer, thanks so much for being with us.

"cbs this morning" saturday co-host michelle miller is in the state capitol with more on what they had to say. michelle, good morning to you. >> good morning. the six of us huddled together on a cold wintry night in iowa to view that 82-minute long speech. you know, folks here are really used to all of this national attention, so with iowa wcaucuss just a year away we decided to find out what does iowa think? >> was this a win for the president by a show of hands? >> he gives what i call a surf board to glory speech. you come out, you talk about unity and then you talk about how great america was and then

you talk about risk and sacrifice and so it's -- it's like ride the surf board to glory with me because that's where we're going if you choose to get on board. >> for you, nicole, you're a special ed teacher, you have voted for president obama. you voted for president trump. what resonated in this speech for you? >> just like where he's been, where he's bringing us. healthcare, that was a big one for me because i believe that the healthcare system is a wreck. >> there were a couple of asks in this speech. there was an ask to move forward on the wall. there was an ask not to seek revenge. what did you see being played out there? >> no investigation. that just shocked me that he would -- that he made that ask in that american. >> a show of hands. how many of you believe

headed towards another shutdown, four out of five. aaron, why are you on the fence? >> i think that the pain of the shutdown is something that no one really wants to go through again. >> as a leader i don't think it's safe to have your -- your constituents, your people in confusion. when he said that he wants the wall and in this package he started listing out all the money that he wants for this and that, i honestly felt that there was no room for negotiation. >> aaron, you're a fifth generation farmer. have you lived here in iowa all of your life. why are immigrants important to you? >> we're a country of immigrants. i think there's room to make it so that we have a fair path for people who come to this country. we have a big need in iowa for labor and that it's important to iowa farms to have reliable

labor, so i don't buy that it has to be one extreme or the other. i think there's a fair path in between. >> the problem is that the system is archaic. to do the legal thing is not as easy as people think. people are fleeing because dismembered bodies of children appear every day in the streets. i have two 6-year-old grandchildren who are beautiful and i love them dearly, and if their life was in danger, i would do anything to save them. >> the last question i posed to that voter panel last night was did the president's speech make them feel any better about the state of the union? two of the five said yes, which pretty much fell along party lines. >> michelle, thank you. >> now to this other political news. beto o'rourke is

spokeswoman: try a mcdonald's mini meal for just 3.99. forgiveness. i believe in the power of redemption. today i manned up and tried to accept responsibility for the errors of my ways. and i still believe in the resurrection. >> that was former illinois congressman jesse jackson jr. after being sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for campaign finance fraud. he's the son of civil rights activist jesse jackson sr. and jacqueline jackson. the former congressman served eight terms in the u.s. house of representatives from 1995 until his resignation in 2012. now he and his mother are sharing how they got through this prison sentence in a new book called "loving you, thinking of you, and don't forget to pray: letters to my son in prison." it features personal letters that jacqueline wrote to her son every single day during his incarceration. jacqueline jackson and jesse jackson jr. join us to discuss. welcome. >> thank you for having us. i want to give my son some more

lipstick that i gave him yesterday. come on -- >> no, ma'am, i can't do it today. >> he won't do it today. the reason i wanted to talk about this book is neither of you intended for this to be a book. jesse, when you were sent to prison, you said to the family, forget me, leave me alone. i don't want any communication. you were humiliated and embarrassed, you said. >> i felt that i had brought enough shame, enough embarrassment, and i was ashamed. i was catatonic during that period. and didn't want to be remembered. didn't want to be a burden for my children, my mother and father. let me go to prison and leave me be. i saw men in prison who were abandoned, and she was determined to write me every day and pum me out of the -- pull me out of the very dark place i was in. >> you wanted to do that why, jacqueline? >> i ran into a 17th century

poet, richard lovelace, and he said stonewall does not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage. and it was a poem that he wrote to his love althea. and the poem is called "to althea from prison." and he was simply saying this is where you are, your circumstances will not defy your character. this is just a bump in the road. and the difference in a stumbling block and an obstacle is on -- it is in how high you lift your feet. so we're going to get through this, and you're going to be much better as a result of this experience. >> what struck me about the letters was the simplicity of them. just day-to-day stuff. do you have a window? how large is your bed in your bedroom? is there a bathroom in your rook, are you locked away?

why haven't i heard from you. thanksgiving was almost uneventful until your call. we missed your presence, so we didn't laugh as much. what did those letters do for you? >> i think, gayle, when i went into prison and i was receiving them every day, they were sustaining me. they were giving me a sense of what was happening at home. when i got out of prison and reread the letters, i reread them for perspective. my mother was sharing with me that again the circumstances of incarceration were not defining of who i was. but gayle, i saw men in prison who were not receiving letters. they were not receiving communications. and every day again at 4:00 at mail call, they would say, jackson and jackson and jackson, and i would watch men who were excited about the prospect of receiving mail but the only one who was receiving mail was me. >> was you. >> i would give them my mother's letters and say, this is what my mother has to say about all of us today. >> i love how you say, jacqueli jacqueline, this was a stumbling block. it really wasn't a stumbling

block. he was a grown man. you were convicted of stealing campaign -- taking money from your campaign, $750,000. so it wasn't -- it was a self-inflicted wound. >> no doubt about it. i accepted full responsibility for my behavior. >> have you thought about why but that? >> you know, over ten years, that's the nature of the offense. and the government concluded about $75,000 a year were expenses that were not justifiable. and rather than drag my family through that entire process, it was really a long build-up to some depression because i have to tell my mother at some point in time just how extravagantly i've been living, and that i'm going to prison. i shared it with my father first. if i refused to share it with her until i finally broke the news, and that was very painful. >> you also said, jacqueline, maybe he felt he wasn't living up to his father's expectations. that he had to live up to his father's expectations. >> all parents have high expectations for their children. you don't give birth to trash.

mothers love their children. and there are millions of women who shared the pain and still share the pain that i shared during this experience. and what we are trying to do now is put a dent into residdism. 72% of young men and women incarcerated return. and we don't want that to happen. so -- >> i think it's important to say, you're not forgiving what he did -- >> crime hurts. crime causes hurt. justice repairs. and we need to begin to look at the -- our sister, the penal institution, as a place to repair and make people whole. and that is the purpose of this. >> running out of time. you started a good conversation. we'll be right back.
