Government Shutdown Ends; Perfect Age; Statehouse Update

The brief government shutdown behind them, lawmakers and the president must now do something that has proven near impossible in recent times: Work together to avoid the next shutdown. This stopgap spending resolution ends Feb. 8. That leaves less than three weeks to hammer out a deal on spending and immigration, specifically the Democrats' demand for protection for immigrants who were brought here illegally as children, so-called "Dreamers."  Then, tell us: What is your prime number? What age was, is, or will be your best? Wall Street Journal columnist Clare Ansberry joins us to discuss research that seeks to answer the question: What is the perfect age?  Plus, we'll check in with the team at the Ohio Statehouse.
