i use herpecin l.re, it penetrates deep to treat. it soothes, moisturizes, and creates an spf 30 barrier, to protect against flare-ups caused by the sun. herpecin l. this is cnn breaking news. >> good evening. welcome back. tonight the first anniversary of donald trump's inauguration. the irony lost on no one this is also the first day of the government shut down. senate adjourned for the night. no solution as of yet. in the meantime there is a big black tie gala to celebrate the one year anniversary.

it is underway right now. president trump obviously very much wanted to be there for the celebration, but he is not. he is in the white house missing his party. he taped a short video to play at tonight's fundraiser which says in part, there shouldn't be a shut down and it is. it's caused by the democrats. but we will end up winning another victory. his day was filled with scenes like this that he saw on his television screens and heard outside his window. the women's march that essentially was an anti-trump march. those marches were repeated in cities across the country. an anniversary in sort of its own way. trump directing a tongue and cheek tweet for the protesters. get out there now and celebrate the historic milestones and success and wealth creation that

has taken place over the last 12 months. lowest female unemployment in 18 years. now, the president's tweet coming as there has been no reports of progress. that did not stop the white house from releasing photos. over on the hill, two sources tell cnn, mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer have not spoken since last night. >> america knows this is the trump shut down. >> we are now engaged in a schumer shut down. >> the trump shut down is all yours. >> my favorite is still the schumer shut down. it's got that nice little ring to it, doesn't it? >> yeah. these are the people who run the united states. okay. phil mattingly is outfront on capitol hill. phil, let's go to someone with a bit of a more mature attitude.

where do things stand now that they have adjourned for the night. >> the senate is adjourned. the house is adjourned. the two leaders haven't spoken yet. at this point, one lawmaker who was walking out of the capital building said in the latter part of the day the biggest point of conversation was where is everybody going to eat dinner on a weekend when they're usually not here in washington. that just underscores the reality right now. people are dug in. republicans very, very comfortable, i'm told by several aids with their current position. they are willing to shorten the funding agreement from four weeks to three weeks. that's as far as they are willing to go. democrats met behind closed doors and felt more unified and resolute about their decision to head this direction. nancy pelosi said she was very

proud of where democrats were at this point and said they were getting a great return from around the country with what they decided to do. that shows you right now both parties seem to be comfortable in this position and both parties don't seem to be moving off their positions any time soon. obviously lawmakers have headed home for the night. tomorrow is a very important day. people recognize that the shut down starts to bite on monday. if a deal does not come tomorrow, i'm told by several lawmakers and aids, expect this to go for a while. >> thank you very much. i want to go straight to jim acosta now. jim, sadly, this is what happens when things like this happen. you should have things being dealt with, but they're not. it is just a blame game and it is hitting a new low at this hour. >> it is like school on a saturday. no class. they were exchanging insults all day long. no proposals, no votes.

i talked to a source close to this process who said there is no proposal that's an alternative to that cr that did not get voted in favor in the senate last night. there is no proposal that is an alternative to that. so they're really not dealing with anything at this point. over here at the white house, they are projecting confidence and a blah attitude. they were accusing democrats of being responsible for the shut down. and they also released some photographs, as you mentioned earlier, laughing and smiling behind the scenes with the president. the president sitting at his desk with the phone up to his ear looking into the camera and so on, not seeming very concerned about all this. but earlier this evening, the trump campaign, several people from the white house rolled a very hostile ad into the mix. take a look at this. this is an ad that is focussed on this issue of immigration,

which has divided the republicans and democrats in terms of the shut down right now. listen to some of the very overheated rhetoric that's at play in this ad. >> president trump is right. build the wall. deport criminals. stop illegal immigration now. democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants. >> so there you have it, erin. the trump campaign saying democrats will be responsible for the murders of people killed by undocumented immigrants. that's a pretty inflammatory statement to be made in the middle of a government shut down. i talked to a republican source who was saying the president has to be careful with the immigration politics. remember, he was the one who was saying he wanted to get to an agreement, a compromise on daca on the dreamers, a bill of love he called it. there is no love in washington tonight, erin. >> thank you very much, jim. outfront now, former clinton

white house aid, conservative radio host, former director of the nixon presidential library and our political experts here at cnn are back with me and all of you here for the hour. so let's just start with that ad. tim? >> yes. >> it's from team trump. >> uh-huh. >> it is an incredibly aggressive ad, not consistent on the facts with immigrants and their relation to crime. they are less likely to commit crime than the native born population, just to put the facts out there. but that ad is dark and aggressive. >> can you imagine if the democrats without that ad out when president trump signed that executive order that complicated the affordable care act and argued everybody that has a heart attack or suffered something because they are not covered by insurance, that that death is on the republican party? can you imagine that? that's the same spirit. what worries me at this moment

is that at least one side is not going to give itself the opportunity to move back from the brink. when you have brinksmanship like this, either one side surrenders or the crisis goes on. but it can't go on too long because the government at some point has to be funded or they compromise. >> so, ben, democratic congressman louis gutierrez came out. both sides there is blame to go around here, but in terms of who is willing to move, you have an ad like that coming out of team trump. one of the most proimmigration democrats in congress came out today and said this about what he's willing to vote for. >> i'm not supporting any cr that doesn't include it. what i am telling you if that fix includes a wall, i'm ready.

>> okay. let's talk about a fix for the dreamers. he not only said he's willing to give trump the wall, he said why don't you tell me how high you want it to be built. >> he should call chuck schumer and say you need to fund the whole project. >> but democrats are talking about compromise. i am not hearing anything like that out of republicans. >> if you heard what came out of the meeting it was basically the president having this meeting with schumer. schumer comes in and offers funding for the wall and said i will give you one tenth of the funding for the wall. and that's not a fair deal. everyone knows you don't build a tenth of anything. i'm glad he's being intellectually honest. he should call the democrats and say hey, go back to the president and say let's do a deal. i do think the president is ready to do a deal on dreamers but he cannot do it without a

wall. >> you heard kelly anne conway. how can you say you're working the phones and trying to do a deal when you don't call the guy on the other side. >> sometimes you have to put pressure on members under schumer because when he walks into your meeting and says i'm going to give you a tenth of what you want, you have to put pressure on his leadership. >> i want to know who he called today. she didn't say who. the photograph they put out looked awfully tried. >> i think you have found the perfect word. he was obvious. look, that ad that they put out today, that was from a pac, i believe. and that is so unhelpful right now. this is not the way you do things. even back in 2013 when republicans were -- while ted

cruise decided the obamacare issue was worth shutting the government down, you didn't see republicans or the obama white house putting out ads showing the republicans were responsible. they didn't do that in the middle of a shut down. i think the american people want to see maturity. they want to see people getting together not this name calling, not this you're a loser like the statement put out last night by sara sanders i thought was really immature and not a really professional, calling democrats losers in the middle of this. >> or jell-o. both sides, i agree, both sides have to bring it up a little bit. >> republicans say they're name calling. they claim democrats have done it in the past. they say they overexaggerate things. >> i think what you are saying

here is this, i think both sides right now are really willing to go the long game with this shut down. i think there are democrats and schumer saying -- i think when they had that meeting today it was very clear. i'm willing to let this go for a while. i think it is clear from today, they're ready to go for this long term. >> one party controls the government. two, one party controls the congress. >> you can't do anything about the senate having 60 votes. >> one party controls the house. one party controls the senate. one party controls the white house and the judiciary, by the way. so yes you do need 60 votes. but, listen, both parties have to work and the republicans haven't acted this year and president trump hasn't acted as if both parties were equal partners. yes, they changed the rules for neil gorsuch so they could confirm him with fewer votes.

when they did -- because they stole the seat from the democrats, dan. that's why. >> stealing a seat is pretty extreme. >> we'll talk about that another day. but when they tried to repeal obamacare, they didn't try to get democrats involved with that. when they tried the tax cut bill for the wealthy, they didn't try to get democrats involved with that. >> let me finish my point. >> that's the same thing when they control the senate. >> finish your point. >> let me add this one point. the point is you can't have a feast for republicans and democrats where the republicans eat the majority of the food and then the bill comes and you expect democrats to pay the bill. that's what republicans are doing. you didn't need us for the entire time for the past 365 days. suddenly the bill comes due to fund the government and you want us to pay for it. >> how long is this going to go for? >> i'm with ben. i think -- look, okay, so it is either tomorrow and monday or i

think it could go longer because, again, it's once you jump, that's why you saw so much attention last night. they're all in there because up to the deadline. once the deadline passes, what was today? a whole lot less happened than i think people thought were going to happen. phil mattingly made the point. if it doesn't go tomorrow or monday -- monday matters because you start to feel the real political and real world impact. but it could go longer. >> and the last one was 16, 17 days. >> and the next big day is his state of the union. does that put the fear of god in trump and the republicans. >> and one more thing. the longer it goes, the longer it goes, the higher the stakes politically get. a day or two, i don't know if in november 2018 people remember. but if it goes two weeks. >> yes. >> it starts to become a thing that could fundamentally open

the dynamic. >> and the president could lose leverage. do you use leverage coming into that night by it being your big speech. thanks to all. next one thing not affected by the government shut down is the russia probe. and we'll tell you where that stands tonight. plus the president moments ago bragging about all the regulations he has rolled back in year one. many you may not know about. regulations is a very big part of his story, and you will see exactly star. and porn star making a public appearance tonight. i will not tell you what it is billed as, but i will when the segment comes up. it is not really appropriate at 8:15. reports his lawyer tried to silence her with a payoff and of course performance tonight. we'll be back. ere we're changinh stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting, set your seat height to its maximum level. bravo, tall meeting man.

we are. where is it? >> not for lack of trying by the president. he's attacked the intelligence agencies and the fbi, the department of justice. he fired his fbi director in large part to undermine and end this investigation. by his own public admission. and yet it continues. and keep in mind, you have two major indictments, right? paul manafort, the president's former campaign chairman, rick gates, his former deputy campaign chairman. grant it, for business crimes prior to the campaign. but you have two guilty pleas for one very senior staffer. that being michael flynn and then george pop dop lis who has admitted to speaking with russians about damaging information on hillary clinton. those are four fairly significant legal scouts there. you still have serious unanswered questions. were there financial crimes by people closer to trump? was there any cooperation between trump aids, campaign

members and russians? still not a settled question. of course was there obstruction of justice by the president himself. a final note, the most significant witness in this investigation has not sat down yet with the special counsel. that of course is the president himself. >> that's right. obviously, as we know all sorts of investigations underway as to if that will occur. let me start with you. the russia situation, this president, was very confident that this would be over by the end of 2017. here we are on the anniversary of his inauguration. are we near the end? >> we don't know. and any lawyer who was believing that they knew was an idiot and was giving bad advice to the president. the idea that you would have a sense after two indictments that

this is over by the end of year deniey anyone who knows how litigation works. it is changing in terms of manafort and bannon and this financial stuff. when the trump campaign and organization says they had no contacts with the russians, that's not true. but what we are starting to see is when trump said he had no dealings in russia, what he didn't say is that the russians -- that may be true, but the russians clearly had deals with the trumps. what you are starting to see unfold is a very different case. i have always said on air, i don't know where this ends. but the idea you will end it before we have an understanding of what happened in 2016 or who is propping up this family, not just trump but obviously ivanka and others is ridiculous. >> that does seem to be where the questions are.

one of them, though, appears to be money laundering, whether there is any, whether it is related to russia. you have the michael wolff book, in which bannon said this is all about money landering. mueller has a money laundering guy. >> right. and this is the play on what juliet said. it is money coming into the trump organization. starting in the 1990s through the mid-2000s, when trump was facing bankruptcy multiple times and regular financial institutions would not lend to him, he turned to the russians for money. his sons each said that in speeches. eric has denied it. but don jr. is on the record having said in their high end properties he said we don't need banks because we have the russians. well, when you look at that in

geopolitical terms at that time, this is the rise of the oligarch class in russia. this is the money taken out of russia and placed in real estate. the brain trust of treasury knows this because in 2016 they put geographic targeting orders on high end financial transactions of this exact sort because they said this is how money laundering occurs in new york real estate. >> all right. so new york real estate. don jr. has admitted to russian financial ties. the president has denied any financial interest in russia except for a real estate deal. let me just play the president. >> you know, the closest i came to russia, i bought a house a number of years in palm beach, florida. i sold it to a russian for a hundred million dollars including brokerage collisions. i have no deals there.

i have no anything. >> i have no investments in russia, none whatsoever. no loans, no nothing. >> the bottom of how much of that is true. but by the president's own admission, the real estate deal is $100 million. >> right. when he only paid i think $40 million for it. >> it was quite the profit on that. look, he was very careful in what he said there. he said he didn't have any business deals in russia. that doesn't mean he's not dealing with russian money. for example, he has $300 million with deutsche bank. they have been sanctioned in the past for being involved with russian money, bypassing sanctions and things like that. jared kushner also, his family company has a lot of money going through deutsche bank, hundreds of millions of dollars. so these aren't aspects of the mueller investigation that i think the trump family and inner

circles is very concerned about. if mueller starts poking around, that's always trump's biggest vulnerability. that's why we have never seen his tax returns. that's why he's freaking out about this russia stuff. >> we're going to hit pause. he was perfectly willing to admit he takes the hair gloss medicati medication. he does not feel the same way about his finances. he would be willing to let out something deeply personal before his financial records. next trump is making his mark in his first year by undoing a lot of obama's accomplishments. and the president forced to miss a megala fundraiser. so the people who are there, it does look like a shady shot here. $100,000 a head to go. the head of the rnc is hosting the event and she's my guest.

>> the government remains shut down, but that is not stopping president trump from boasting tonight about the hundreds of regulations he rolled back in his first year. he terminated we have terminated more caps unnecessary regulation in 12 months than any other administrati

administration. the good news is caps again there is much more to come. it is something trump is very proud of and frankly it is something we don't hear about every day, but he is changing the country through regulation. >> we have set a new record on reducing regulation and all forms of stopping growth and stopping jobs that were crippling america's economy. >> we canceled or delayed over 1,500 planned regulatory actions, more than any previous president by far. >> my administration is removing the burdens and regulations on your companies so that you can compete, thrive and grow. >> tom foreman is outfront. tom, look, what are these regulations that trump is rolling back? >> erin, as you noted, faced with a hostile republican congress, barack obama relied on regulations and rules to push a

lot of his agenda and, yeah, donald trump is aggressively flipping them back over, specifically starting with the environment. think about the paris climate agreement. this was a deal that barack obama signed along with 200 other nations, thought it would make the environment better. president trump pulled out of it. president obama promoted oil production in this country but he was concerned about arctic oil drilling. president trump has gone the opposite way. although, notably he had a quick exception for florida where one of his republican allies is the governor. expanded oil safety regulations have been pulled back. there has been a change in a hunting ban for some predators up in alaska. >> wow. all of those things. and then you can see on there more than environmental regulations. he has undone rules on many,

many other areas, too. >> oh, yeah, absolutely. >> look. police departments could buy surplus military gear. president obama thought that made them too much like armies. president trump has reversed that ban. what about cuba? we have had warming relations under obama. they have grown chilly under trump. president trump says no to transgender serving in the military. president obama said they should be able to use any public rest rooms they feel comfortable in. president trump says no. the tpp trade deal, president obama really liked it. president trump didn't. he pulled out of that plan. you know about immigration, whether you are talking about daca or sanctiuary cities. notably, though, look at this. obamacare was his first big executive action, and he wanted

to overturn this thing. and it really didn't quite get the job done. he needed congress to do that. but it was a start, erin. a start on what has been an avalanche, which has been trying to bury all of the history of the obama presidency and replace it with what we will one day call the legacy of donald trump. >> absolutely. thank you very much, tom. >> you're welcome. >> and our panel is back with me. keith, some of these regulations people may not have noticed but you take up gay pride month. the president will no longer recognize that. school lunches. how much of this is about undoing what president obama has done? >> i think trump's anonymous towards obama has been motivating what's been taking place over the course of the past year and the irony is that republicans were still critical of obama for governing by

executive order. the other irony is that trump also campaigned as a pop you list, but he's been governing to benefit large corporations, oil and mining companies, big interest, big banks, rolling back the protections for lay your unions. what we have here is a president that said he was going to build a wall, repeal and replace obamacare, lockup hillary clinton. he didn't do those. instead he did a lot of small things to help rich people. >> there are some things he said that may not affect a large population. let's take transgender. during the election, he acted like he was very open on this issue, okay? he was asked by then host of the today show matt lauer if he was okay with transgender using the

bathroom. >> you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses? >> that is correct. >> donald trump i could go pee anywhere in the trump tower. >> he reversed it. >> i think specifically there is a difference between when you are talking about the private sector, his hotel and his place as a private sector. he thinks you have a right to do what you want to do there. i think this is a very small issue for him compared to all the other things here. look at school lunches here. he listened to the schools and the public schools were clearly saying that as good as the intent was for the school lunch regulations, they were a massive failure and the children were not eating the food. you go and talk to the unions and the unions were saying that the kids were not eating the

food. but my point is that the president did things like this. let's be clear. he didn't add regulations. he got rid of the regulation that the president was doing. he got rid of it through deregulating it. >> executive order. >> to take something away you decided to do. >> republicans were opposed to executive order government and that's what they got with donald trump. >> how much did he change the landscape so far? we say more of these changes than any president in their entire term in one year. >> tim will know more than i. but in looking at the charts that the internet has, trump is issuing more executive orders than anyone essentially since we have been at war. george w. and roosevelt truman. in peacetimes, which we are in peacetimes, leave aside isis, i get it. but in non-war, national

wartimes, he is doubling the number of executive orders of any other president before him, and that's a separation of powers issue as far as i'm concerned. >> is this a sign that congress is just a failure. >> many of these regulations are done basically executive orders are when a president informs his executive branch. it doesn't control states or governors of what they can or can't do. there is sometimes a misunderstanding about that. it is important just what you were saying that it was what his own agencies are going to do. i want to maybe because it is my world homeland security. many, many regulations have to do with the safety and security of the american public, and we're much safer now than we were in 1950 or 1960 when there were no fire regulations or air pollution regulations. this idea that regulations are just all bad or whatever, you got to drill down on what they're doing. they have for the most part, we are a safer, healthier living

longer nation than in the time of the 1940s and '50s when he we didn't regulate industry. >> except it was costing us $100 billion a year. it is true. the regulations -- >> final word. >> so bad. >> thank you all. next they're celebrating at mar-a-lago right now. trump not there. but the head of the republican party is there. and the woman paid for her silence about an alleged sexual affair with donald trump making a public appearance tonight. who. looking for a hotel that fits... ...your budget? tripadvisor now searches over... ...200 sites to find you the... ...hotel you want at the lowest price. grazi, gino! find a price that fits. tripadvisor.

welcome back to a special edition of outfront. we are continuing to follow the breaking news this hour. the united states government is closed. shut down now for more than 20 hours. tonight an agitated president trump forced to abandon his plans for a trip to mar-a-lago. he was going there to celebrate his first year in office. it was a big black tie gala. people are arriving there now. the cohost of the fundraiser and obviously there tonight. i appreciate your time. the first question i have is about the party. i know you originally had about 100 people expected to attend.

of course the president is no longer going to be there. how many people are you expecting tonight? >> actually almost everybody is attending. nobody has asked for a refund. they are fully committing to supporting this president and keeping the majorities in the midterms. it wasn't a black tie gala la. it was a fundraiser to support the president's first year in office and make sure he keeps majorities. >> that's pretty incredible if you are going to say about all of those 100 people are attending and not asking for refunds. >> nobody asked for a refund. >> okay. i understand. i understand the distinction. how much money are you raising then? $100,000 a couple? $250,000 was the number if you had a round table with the president which of course to your point isn't happening. how much money are you raising? >> it will be a good number. listen, we're hitting the ground running. we raised record money last

year. more than any other mitt cal party in the history of an off year election. $132 million because we know what we're up against and we know how important it is to keep these majorities. the country is doing better under president trump and we want to make sure that continues. >> let me be honest, an event like this, you've got thousands of people who work for the federal government who are not getting money right now, on furlough. the optics are pretty bad. don't you think? >> i think the optics are exactly right because the president is in washington, d.c. trying to work with democrats who just shut down our government. democrats need to answer for why they just voted overwhelmingly to shut down our government. 230 of them when 269 republicans voted to keep it open. it gives us urgency as to what we are doing and why it is so important to keep these majorities and expand them. our low dollar fund-raising is through the roof as well. but we're committed to keeping our country on the right track.

that's going to be through president trump and republican majorities. >> you don't see anything inappropriate about tonight's party. during the government shut down in 2013, your predecessor, chair of the rnc at the time, went on fox news, blamed president obama for the shut down and did so for specific reasons. >> i think the president has a real failure in his leadership style. and, you know, being president isn't easy. but being a leader is also someone that could sit down and say, okay, guys, let's figure out how we're going to fix this. that's what we're looking for. obama is an aloof president who is a good campaigner. that's him in a nutshell. >> he says a real failure in leadersh leadership. if that was the rnc stance the last time the government shut down when a democrat was president, how is it that

president trump is not a failure now? >> well, the democrats from the beginning of president trump's term and we're celebrating the anniversary of that have refused to work with this president. there has been a pattern this entire year. they have used this mantra of obstruct and resist. we do not have a history -- >> which of course the republicans did for president obama, right? >> as democrats trying to work with this president. so now we know the math. let's do the math. you need 60 votes in the senate to keep the government open. republicans only have 51 senators. we need democrats to keep this government open. they made a decision to shut it down. this is their choice. everyone wants to keep it open. they don't oppose anything in the bill. they don't oppose the children's health insurance program. they don't oppose funding our military. why not give 30 days to work on the issues that we can come to agreement on? i just don't understand why

democrats did this. the president is in washington, d.c. focussing on fixing this problem. he met with chuck schumer yesterday. >> all right. thank you very much. i appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. >> next the woman who allegedly had a sexual relationship with the president. questions are growing about her reported payoff from the president. and donald trump's greatest hits and misses. >> god bless the united states. . ...that is, until you taste our new menu. discover more ways to enjoy seafood with new tasting plates small plates, with big flavor- like yucatan shrimp in chili-lime butter and caramelized pineapple. and if you like hot, buttery maine lobster, check out this petite red lobster roll. for new entrees, explore globally-inspired dishes like spicy dragon shrimp. and now, when you order any two new or classic entrees, you get a free tasting plate. so get your coupon at redlobster.com and join us today!
