As federal workers miss first paycheck of the year, Trump says he has their support

The partial government shutdown has now lasted three full weeks and will become the longest shutdown in U.S. history this weekend.

Yamiche Alcindor joins Judy Woodruff to discuss public reaction, why the president thinks federal workers back him and the latest activity on Capitol Hill.
