It was the republicans job to govern. Hence, we are in a trump shutdown. This is solely done by the senate democrats. Its absolutely meaningless.

Two eagles playing each other. Congratulations to all the teams. Hard fought. Absolutely. Speaking of hard fight, in washington, this is day three of the Government Shutdown. And the first day off for hundreds of thousands of nonessential federal workers. The senate is struggling to get those people back on the job. The vote is sch today on a new shortterm compromise. But theres no clear sign that it will pass. Crucial Government Services are closed across the country. They include the library of congress, Independence Hall in philadelphia and the national archives. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the senate deadlock that still centers on immigration. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. Here is the latest. There is a vote scheduled in the senate in a couple of hours to reopen the government and fund it for 2 1 2 weeks. We do not know at this hour if it will pass. Negotiations continue. But one thing we do know is that the pressure on these lawmakers is mounting exponentially. Now that the shutdown has hit the workweek. Well, lets step back from the brink. Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell came to the floor late last night. The shutdown should stop today. With an offer to fund the government until february 8th. And a pledge to turn to dreamers after that. It would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address daca, Border Security and related issues. Reporter but his intention did not satisfy democratic leader Chuck Schumer. We have yet to reach an agreement on a path forward that would be acceptable for both sides for that reason, i object. He wants an ironclad assurance that congress will provide legal status to 700,000 young immigrants currently protected by the soon to expire daca program. This morning, House Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy called senator schumers stance emotional. He cant tell you what he needs to get out of it because its an emotional decision. Instead of putting people before politis, he just got upset. Reporter as they inched forward, National Parks and landmarks are shuttered. And half the militarys civilian workforce is furloughed. The families of two Army Soldiers killed in a chopper crash this weekend will have to wait to receive their death benefits. A charity has stepped in to cover the cost. Shutting down the government is like chemical warfare. It should be banned. Reporter tennessees Lamar Alexander is one of 22 moderate senators, democrats and republicans, who met this weekend trying to craft a compromise. Made any progress in there . I think we are talking to one another. Reporter the fingerpointing has subsided, at least for now. Listen, its no win for us. First prize in the Government Shutdown is you get to be dumb, not dumber. Reporter meeting shortly to discuss mcconnells latest offer and that Bipartisan Senate group is meeting again too. The tricky balance here is that both sides are looking to save face but they also want to show that they got something out of this mess as well. Nancy, thank you. President trump suggest the senate can end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. The president tweeted yesterday that republicans should go to 51 Nuclear Option. Changing the senate rule that requires 60 votes to end debate. Chip reid is at the white house with more on this. Chip. Reporter good morning. Republicans on capitol hill rejected the president s suggestion of using the Nuclear Option and so far the president has been unable to get the key players to agree to a compromise to keep the government open. We do not want to shut down. Reporter office of management and budget director Mick Mulvaney argued the democrats forced the shutdown to trip up the president. Its pure evil. Reporter but it was a Trump Campaign ad that proved a distraction. Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants. Reporter both parties distance themselves. I dont know if thats necessarily productive. It is really unbelievable. Reporter President Trump had no public appearances this weekend, only consulting by phone with cabinet members and congressional leaders. We cannot answer your call today. Reporter the white house comments line unstaffed because of the shutdown said this. Congressional democrats are Holding Government funding, including funding for our troops and other National Security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate. I essentially agreed to give the president something he has said he wants in exchange for something we both want. Reporter Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer said it was the president who changed his mind after the two men reached a deal on daca and Border Security during a meeting friday. He backed away from the last best chance to avoid a shutdown. Reporter in 2013, mr. Trump criticized then president obama for failing to lead the country out of a shutdown. You have to be a leader. The president has to lead. Unfortunately, hes never been a deal maker. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan says the president needs to find a firm negotiating position. The question is wheres the president on this issue, is that and is he going to stay in one place . I think what the president should do is leave room for negotiations to get a solution. Thats exactly what hes doing. Reporter South Carolina republican Lindsey Graham singled out white house adviser Stephen Miller saying his hardline positions on immigration are making it very difficult to reach a deal and calling him an outlier. A white house spokesman fired back that graham is the outlier and accused him of siding with people in this country illegally instead of with america. Oh, boy, thank you, chip. Cbs news contributor ed okeefe is a congressional reporter for the washington post. Hes on capitol hill and joins us now with the latest. Ed, good morning. Happy monday, guys. Happy monday indeed. Call this hotmess with enough blame to go around. How do you see this today . The president says lets go nuclear. That wont happen, but i dont think the governments going to reopen either. It looks like democrats arent going to budge much at all despite the leaders pledge to take up Immigration Reform by at least february 8. The problem is they want it now. They want it as part of an agreement to reopen the government. Or at least be part of the bill that keeps the government open long term. Absent that, you may see maybe one or two more democrats vote yes today. But it wont be enough to advance the bill. So ed, as it always does this is just going to come down to someone blinking. At some point, yes. What that will old billy joel song, a matter of trust, thats the issue here they dont trust each other. The majority leader may say hes going to do something but democrats having dealt with him for several years now know that the republicans can just pull the wool over their eyes and reverse course at some other point in the coming days. So they dont want to commit to anything unless its a vote right now or unless theres some other ironclad agreement that is worked out between him, House Speaker ryan and the president who, of course, remains so difficult to pin down in all this. So youve made the point about members in both parties in senator Collins Office over the weekend. Whats the formation of that deal . The republican from maine brought together a total of 17 senators from both parties to talk about this. They didnt get anywhere really. As one of the attendees told me, it was a good group, we had some good ideas. We may be helpful on a substantive agreement down the road. Simply put, they just couldnt do it this time. Collins hosted similar meetings back in 2013 to try to break the last Government Shutdown. So theres some hope that bringing together a big block, about onefifth of the senate, maybe they can convince their colleagues to move ahead, but so far at least it doesnt look like theyre able to do that. Is there any truth to what senator graham said, essentially blaming stephen mill, a young white house aide, of holding this whole thing hostage . If you ask members of both parties, hes the guy they blame, yes. Because hes the one that has kept the president far more conservative on immigration matters than democrats and republicans would like. Ed okeefe, thank you. The shutdown also means thousands of Intelligence Community workers on furlough. We spoke with cia director mike pompeo in his First Network interview in that role. We asked about north korea and other ongoing threats to americas National Security. He also explained why the shutdown is not necessarily a sign of weakness. How does a Government Shutdown affect National Security . It wont impact our operations here at cia. Were going to continue crushing our adversaries, whether the governments open or closed. We hope it opens back up. For today, tomorrow, the few days ahead of us, were going to continue to do the things we need to do. These Government Shutdowns signal dysfunction in government. Some people in the National Security arena say that kind of dysfunction is one of the biggest threats to u. S. National security. How important is it for congress to get this right . Yes, look, i served in congress. Ive seen this from another role. Im not sure i agree it signals dysfunction. I think thats entirely appropriate in a democracy. Reporter as director of the Central Intelligence agency, mike pompeo faces a world worth of National Security threats. Perhaps known as urgent or murky as north Koreas Nuclear advances. This september, kim jongun detonated a sixth nuclear bomb. Did we know that was coming . Yes. Heres what we can say. We can always identify that the program is continuing. Well never know the exact nature of whats taking place. Well never know the exact moment theyre going to continue. But the core risk that the policymakers needed to know was that north Koreas Nuclear Weapons Program is continuing to expand, advance, become more powerful, more capable, more reliable, each of those things had been shared with policymakers. To be clear, how close is kim jongun being able to deliver a Nuclear Attack to the territorial United States . A handful of months. Correct me if im wrong, i do believe you have used that phrase more than six months ago, you said a handful of months. True. I hope to be able to say that a year from now. The United States government is working diligently to extend that time line. Well, in our next hour, more of our interview with cia director mike pompeo. How hes delivering the daily intelligence briefing to President Trump. Weve got more just ahead here on cbs this morning. Very interesting, looking forward to hearing more of that. Thank you. All right. Cbs news has just learned the Transportation Security Administration is taking Emergency Action on air cargo from five predominantly muslim countries. It is part of an effort to stay ahead of potential terror plots targeting aircraft. The new order covers all u. S. Bound commercial and cargo flights from seven airports in ejust, jordan, qatar and the united arab emeralds. Six airlines are affected. Kris van cleave is at Dulles International airport outside washington. Kris. Reporter good morning. Five of those airlines serve washington dulles. While all cargo bound for the u. S. Is screened, growing concern about terrorists sneaking a bomb on to an airplane is prompting this emergency order from the tsa administrator thats going to require airlines to provide specific information about all cargo they plan to bring into america. Information like where a package is from, who sent it, how it was sent, where has it been since its been mailed, where its going and its contents. Tsa says its goal is to spot shipments that are out of the ordinary and this order gives the tsa and customs time and authority to have an airline do further screening if something appears amiss. A tsa official told cbs news these countries were chosen because of a dem mon stratsed attempt by terrorist groups to attack aviation from them. This is all intel driven. That intel continues to center around bombs in Electronic Devices that may be able to get past some screening equipment. Something thats already prompted increased security at airports worldwide. Also, intel from a foiled attack in australia over the summer where a military grade explosive was sent via air cargo from turkey continues to drive concerns. Turkey is the only other country required to participate in this advanced screening program. Other airlines do voluntarily. The tsa says the Trump Administration is now considering making that Trump Program mandatory, gayle. Thank you very much, kris van cleave.
