Dr. Larry nassars sexual abuse confronting him in the courtroom including olympic Gold Medalist aly raisman. The tables have turned, larry. We are here, we have our voices and we are not going anywhere. Their pain and their anger bringing the doctor to tears and the fingerpointing this morning. Did some people turn a blind eye here . And mystery man. Patriots star tom brady playing the quiet quarterback keeping mum about that hand injury and his gloves. Im not talking about that. Well see. Well see. I have no idea. Questionable for game time. Will he take the field . Hey, good morning and welcome to the oneYear Anniversary of the presidency of donald j. Trump. Youre looking live at the white house here where the president is waking up to a Government Shutdown. He was supposed to be in florida today celebrating his anniversary, but that got called off because of the crisis. And just down the road we want you to take a live look at the u. S. Capitol where lawmakers will be reconvening this morning to try to end an impasse that as of midnight has led to it shutting down. There was a failed lastminute try followed by expressions of anger on the senate floor. The Vice President traveling overseas in ireland, Vice President pence weighed in blaming the democrats. However, according to our new poll taken before the shutdown americans by a 20point margin said they were more likely to blame trump and the republicans. There is the political fallout but also the practical ramifications. What does it mean for the u. S. Military, for our national parks, for us . We have Team Coverage and start with david wright hi, david. Reporter hi, paula. Hi, dan. Lawmakers here in this building worked into the Early Morning hours but they were unable to break the deadlock, so the federal government is waking up to a shutdown. The president is already up and tweeting this morning blaming the democrats accusing them of caring more about Illegal Immigrants than the u. S. Military and said they could have easily made a deal but decided to play shutdown politics. He also notes that this is the oneYear Anniversary of his presidency saying the democrats wanted to give me a mice present. As of this morning, routine government business grinds to a halt after a night of frantic negotiations behind closed doors and on the senate floor the Government Shutdown was 100 avoidable. Reporter senators lingered even after the midnight deadline trying to salvage a deal. Some people are going to have to get off their high horse and come to their senses. Reporter the monthlong stopgap passed by the house failed to clear the senate so senator Lindsey Graham tried to rally for a shorter threeweek stopgap. I feel like im switzerland with an army the size of the vatican. Reporter the senate was unable to reach an agreement. The motion is not agreed to. Reporter republicans needed 60 veries to end the debate. In the end they fell 10 votes short then the fingerpointing began. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called out President Trump whom he had met with earlier friday. The blame should crash entirely on President Trumps shoulders. This will be the called the trump shutdown. Reporter republicans blame the democrats. What we have just witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision by Senate Democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political gains. Reporter the white house released a statement calling this the schumer shutdown saying this is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators. Vice president pence is also reacting this morning. Hes on a trip to the middle east. I think what we have to do at this moment is demand that the congress do their job. Reporter now, the leaders of both parties are expected to meet here later today. Meanwhile, the president had planned to spend this weekend at maralago. Theres a big fundraiser timed for his oneYear Anniversary. That trip now postponed but not canceled yet. Dan and paula. Yet being the key word. David, thank you very much. And lets get a sense of the actual impact of the shutdown. For that we turn to our Congressional Correspondent mary bruce also on capitol hill. Mary, good morning to you. So, mary, where do we go from here . Reporter well, look, paula, good morning. First of all, there is a real desire leer to get something done but in many ways, this is like a staring contest and comes down to who blinks first. The sticking points remain the same, democrats are still demanding any spending plan include protections for for d. R. E. A. M. Ers, those nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children. On the other side they say democrats are holding the spending deal hostage to get what they want. Both sides, lawmakers, will be up here trying to hammer out a shorter temporary solution but even if they get that done, we can be right back here in the same position just three weeks from now. Groundhogs day. The shutdown has very real consequences for actual human beings. Walk us through what the impacts are. Reporter yeah, well, the blame game continues up here on capitol hill. Those who stand to lose most here could be the american people. Shutdowns are expensive. If this continues, the u. S. Economy could lose 38 million an hour. Now, some things will remain unchanged. Federal parks and memorials are still open. Youll still be getting your mail, but if this continues, hundreds of thousands of federal workers could be furloughed come monday without pay while lawmakers, those who are most directly responsible for all of this, their paychecks will keep coming. Okay, so President Trumps blasting the democrats saying this affects the military the most. Whats the reality of that statement . Reporter youve heard the white house and republicans arguing that the men and women in the military are not bargaining chips. U. S. Military operations will continue, but if this shutdown plays out longer, you could see Service Members having to work without their pay. That pay being delayed. Dan and paula. Cannot argue that is fair. Mary bruce, thank you very much. Thanks, mary. We have a lot to talk about so lets bring in political analyst matthew dowd. Math thigh, good morning. As i believe weve firmly established, Government Shutdowns are all about the blame game. Our poll shows most americans are likely to blame trump and the republicans so do you think they are likely to pay a big price here . Well, i think in the short term theyre going to pay a price. The republicans have the presidency. They have the house. They have the senate and so if youre trying to make a nuanced argument about 60 votes needs, youre in a difficult territory. In the short term the question is how long does it go on, is this a question of hours or does it become days and what happens between now and november . There is a lot of time for a lot of other things. Weve seen in the Trump Presidency a lot happens in the course of a few days. You mentioned november being the midterms but the democrats are also kind of rolling the dice here. This is a political risk. There are a handful of vulnerable senators that voted to keep the government open. Those Democratic Senators from predominantly red states. What are the potential pit falls for the dems . Well, i think this is a pitfall for the democrats because the country looks at this and says the whole thing is dysfunctional. What brought the country donald trump has now a situation where theyre watching it unfold even with donald trump in this so democrats have to be beware of two things, independent voters saying enough is enough. I dont care about either one of these, and, two, they have to maintain the Enthusiasm Gap they have over the republicans so if they fold too quickly or about they dont fight hard enough, theyre going to lose some of that Enthusiasm Gap. So this is problematic for both political parties. Stakes are high. Lets just drill down on how this plays, though, for president donald trump. This is as we said the oneYear Anniversary of his inauguration and weve got womens marches planned across the country today. He ended last year, 2017 on an upswing with the passage of the big tax bill. Is he now entering choppier waters with this shutdown . Well, he started, as you know, he started his presidency with the lowest Approval Rating of any modern president , and he ended his presidency with the lowest Approval Rating of any modern president in the first year. I think hes in for a difficult 2018, not only with all the controversy with the Government Shutdown at the Year Anniversary but the bob Mueller Investigation which will unfold in the months to come then he has midterms which is likely there is a wave coming. The question is how big that wave is. If the democrats take the house back and possibly close the margin in the United States senate, hes in for a really, reel, really tough christmas next year and new year as we go into it so 2018 i think is going to be more problematic for him than 2017 was. Pivotal year already. Thank you very much, matt dowd. We appreciate your analysis from texas. One piece of relatively good news is that the shutdown will not impact the cdcs flu program. Right. But the bad news is that the new numbers indicate the flu epidemic is actually getting worse with more children dying and abcs Erielle Reshef is in studio with more. Erielle, good morning. Reporter good morning to you, dan and paula. Doctors say the flu season is hitting hard and proving deadly particularly when it comes to kids. Ten more pediatric deaths reported this week. Now, doctors are warning it may be easier than you think for you or your loved ones to get sick. Theyre the faces of this years deadly flu epidemic. This third grader in alabama among the latest victims. The cdc calling it the worst flu season in eight years. Activity has gone up again this week. Reporter children hit particularly hard. So far 30 pediatric deaths have been reported. Nearly double this time last year. Clinics across the country packed with patients, some even running out of crucial medication. A lot of doctors are prescribing antiviral drugs, and in some places when the patients go and try to pick them up, they may not have them at that time. Reporter one of the largest studies ever showing how contagious the flu can be. Researchers warning it can spread simply by breathing. No coughing or sneezing required. Across the short distance i could just be breathing and little particles might travel and you might breathe them in and get sick so thats just a real concern in terms of how the flu spreads. Reporter at least 70 deaths reported in california. 79 in indiana. This map showing states with the highest flu activity. 49 caught in the crosshairs of the dangerous strain. And the cdc says with the rise in cases, doctors are worried we havent even hit the peak of the flu season yet. It can last through april. They say its still not too late to get the flu shot. Thats the recommendation and if you have symptoms, guys, of the flu, be sure to check them early. Go get treatment early. Get the shot, keep your hands clean. Stay vigilant. Thanks, erielle. We appreciate it. We turn to new developments in the massacre at the concert in las vegas back in october. The fbi now says its investigating a person of interest aside from the gunman. And were also getting a chilling view from inside the hotel room where Stephen Paddock gunned down hundreds of people killing 58. Heres abcs clayton sandell. Reporter this morning after chasing nearly 2,000 leads, investigators say they still dont know the motive behind the worst mass shooting in modern u. S. History. A new Sheriffs Department report shows the Mandalay Bay Hotel room where those shots were fired. A snipers nest 32 stories above the crowd littered with highpowered rifles on countertops, chairs, beds, the floor. Other pictures capture hundreds of spent shell casings. Here a hammer with shattered glass, the broken window where Stephen Paddock opened fire. The men and women of the fbis Behavioral Analysis unit are working tirelessly to provide answers as to why. Reporter the sheriff does not expect charges against paddocks girlfriend who told investigators he had become distant and withdrawn over the last year buying more guns but he says there is another person of interest. The fbi has an ongoing case against another person of interest. Reporter the sheriff and fbi wont say who that is but the sheriff believes the gunman acted alone, left no suicide note or manifesto and didnt appear radicalized by hate groups or terrorists. He had lost a significant amount of his monetary wealth in close proximity to 1, october, and that may have a driving factor associated with it. Reporter the day before the shooting the report says the gunman drove from the mandalay back to his home twice returning with six suitcases. His deadly arsenal hidden inside. For good morning america, clayton sandell, abc news, denver. The fbi is not saying a whole lot about that person of interest. They just named. We do want to turn to the biggest stars of u. S.

This as President Trump marks his first year as president and congress kl correspondent mary bruce joins us from washington with what this Government Shutdown really means and who is impacted. Good morning again, mary. Reporter good morning. Well, a night of frenzied negotiations here on the hill ultimately fell short but there are some glimmers of hope this morning this shutdown may be shortlived. Lawmakers will be back up here shortly, and there is a plan thats gaining some steam that could keep the government up and running but just for a few more weeks now. Now, as you can imagine, the fingerpointing, never a shortage of that here on capitol hill, republicans say the democrats are holding a spending deal hostage trying to get what they want which are those protections for d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Well, democrats say republicans are ultimately to blame here because theyre in charge here on the hill and over at the white house. The president this morning also weighing in tweeting, democrats are far more concerned with Illegal Immigrants than they are with our great military or safety at our dangerous southern border. Now, paying the price for all of this, guys, the american people. Shutdowns are expensive. If this thing continues, it could cost the u. S. Economy 38 million an hour, and hundreds of thousands of federal workers could be furloughed come monday without pay while lawmakers here, those most directly responsible for this mess, they could see their paychecks still keep coming. Yeah, an irony that a lot of americans will not find amusing. Mary bruce covering the big story of the morning on capitol hill, mary, thank you very much. Thanks, mary.
