this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. good to see you. welcome to "today." it is a tuesday morning. we're so happy that you're spending part of it with us. the swifties are on board >> even bill belichick is excited. okay? >> once that happens, wow. but we are going to begin this morning with two major stories, looming deadlines and growing picket lines. >> yeah. we're four days away from a government shutdown, facing military facing uncertain futures, watching and waiting as lawmakers try to work it out. >> this comes as president biden travels to michigan today where in an historic move he is expected to join striking autoworkers. his republican, donald trump, set to meet with union members tomorrow. we've got it all covered. we will start with gabe gutierrez. he's in wayne, michigan, just outside detroit. gabe, good morning.

what are we expecting from the president today? >> reporter: hey, hoda. good morning. president biden is expected to physically join the picket lines here in michigan alongside uaw president, shawn fain. it is a significant moment because the white house says this is the first time a sitting president has visited a picket line in modern times. when asked whether he supports the union's demand of a 32-hour workweek, president biden saying yesterday that these workers deserve to share in the benefits that the industry has seen in recent years. and that he always supports the uaw. this comes just one day before former president trump is planning to skip the gop primary debate and address union workers here instead. the white house is denying that mr. trump's visit to michigan had anything to do -- excuse me, president biden's visit to michigan had anything to do with president trump's -- former president trump's trip and the trump campaign is calling biden's visit a cheap photo op and arguing the administration's push for

electric vehicle would cost union jobs. the white house is facing growing questions on whether president biden is interfering with the negotiations by joining the picket lines. this all carries significant political risk for president biden. uaw is one of the few labor unions that has not endorsed him yet. so this is crucial for him. but he also faces significant risks because he's likely owning the results of these negotiations no matter the outcome. analysts warn this strike could cost the economy billions of dollars if it persists and the president could face blame from voters if car prices start to go up and car parts become harder to come by. and take this into account that only 37% of voters approve of president biden's handling of the economy. hoda? >> gabe ambiguity yar yez for us there in wayne. gabe, thank you. back in washington, just four days left now and republicans are still struggling to reach a funding deal in the house.

nbc's capitol hill correspondent ryan nobody else has the latest on this. ryan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. lawmakers on capitol hill don't have a deal that will pass both chambers and be signed by president biden in time to avoid a government shutdown. now, that could have a negative impact on the united states aaa credit rating, according to a new report from moody's. meanwhile, the paychecks of millions of government workers, including members of the military are left in the balance. >> reporter: with just four days to go, the federal government this morning appears headed for a shutdown. the dysfunction on capitol hill leading to uncertainty for millions of americans. as a small group of conservatives on capitol hill holds up the funding of the government, president biden already placing blame on house republicans. >> funding the government is one of the most basic fundamental responsibilities of congress. republicans in the house don't start to do their job, we should stop electing them. >> reporter: the situation is so

bleak that even members of the military are at risk. in the past, congress has passed bills to protect service members during a shutdown. but not this time around. even the house speaker, kevin mccarthy, acknowledges that his colleagues are putting many of america's key protecters at risk. >> why would they want to stop paying the troops or stop paying the border agents or the coast guard? i don't understand how that makes you stronger. >> reporter: as those troops and agents wait, mccarthy is stuck. he's trying to cobble together a plan that may appease right wing republicans, but wouldn't pass the full senate. congress needs a short-term spending bill to keep the government open, while the negotiations continue. but many of those same conservatives have promised to never vote for a short-term spending plan again. and with time running out, mccarthy may need help from democrats to get a budget passed. as federal workers, like a this tsa agent have no guarantee a paycheck will be there this time next week. she will still have to report

for work, even if she isn't getting paid. a reality that is now setting in. >> so we report to work, 24/7. >> reporter: she remains hopeful congress can find a way to get something passed in time. >> you know, that has goes on and on, it's people who are the most vulnerable, those who are living paycheck to paycheck, counting on government benefits, that's who's hanging in the balance right now. >> reporter: yeah, savannah. that's right. the most immediate impact would be on programs like head start, providing early childhood education for low-income families. the white house claiming that 10,000 kids could lose access to that program. and there's also funding for important nutrition programs that could dry up as well. wic, for example, provides nearly 7 million moms and children assistance. and according to the white house, a shutdown would cause the vast majority of people who participate in those programs to see an immediate reduction and elimination of nutrition assistance, savannah? >> ryan nobles on capitol hill, keep us posted. thank you.

new details on the hopeful end to the hollywood writer's strike after a tentative deal was struck between the union and the studios over the weekend. but with the actors still on the picket line, it's not yet clear when the industry will return to action. nbc's entertainment correspondent chloe melas is following all these details. >> reporter: good morning. so according to my sources, the wga leaders are expected to vote this morning. so we are just a few hours away on this deal possibly being approved. then it would need to be approved by the union's rank and file members. now the wga could move to allow writers to start typing again, even before all of this happens. now this would obviously be a w critical first step to getting the entire entertainment industry back to work. >> w-g-a >> reporter: relief and cautious optimism from writers who have been out of work since may >> we got a deal >> i'm very excited to actually read it and see what it actually is

but it feels good. there's a reason why we have a tentative agreement. >> reporter: after striking for nearly five months, this morning leaders of the writers guild are expected to approve the tentative deal negotiators reached with the studios and streamers alliance >> when people are in a negotiating mood, things are going to get solved. >> reporter: near the wga or amptp which comcast is a member is commenting publicly on the agreement. the details are still under wraps, insiders say the proposal includes increased pay, higher residuals from streaming shows and protections over the use of ai. >> the deal is exceptional i'm really excited to see it. >> reporter: how soon could your favorite shows get back on the air? two sources involved in the negotiations say late night and daytime talk shows are likely to be up and running within two weeks. but with actors still out on strike, production on scripted shows and films remains on hold. >> i'm glad that one log jam was broken and i hope that means that the

next log jam will be broken soon >> reporter: a senior member within the sag actor union telling nbc news they hope to get a meeting scheduled this week it would be the union's first round of negotiations with studios and streamers since the actors went out on strike in july while actors and writers have been fighting for many of the same guarantees around worker pay and protections, a source familiar with s.a.g. actors demands say they have unique concerns, health insurance and rules around self taped auditions to create more quality when vying for a role. all that needs to be resolved and soon in order to get next summer's block busters in theaters on time. >> we can't stop fighting. we make the work when we fight -- >> we win! >> again, now that vote is happening in just a few hours. so if this passes, we could potentially see late night return early next week now, sources are telling me that the full industry is expected to

be up and running by thanksgiving so that's sort of a very near end in sight sounds far away, but we're actually pretty close to thanksgiving so, i am hopeful for everyone that people can start getting their paychecks again and get back to work. >> yes good nice to see a hopeful end to this >> thank you. one of the most powerful democrats in the u.s. senate is defying calls to resign, include frgs his own party this a 39-page indictment, senator robert menendez is accused of secretly helping a foreign government while committing bribery and extortion. while he says he will be exonerated, some fellow democrats have mentioned have expressed public doubt and urged him to quit. nbc's justice correspondent ken delain yan is covering the story for us. >> reporter: good morning. a defiant robert menendez is protesting his innocence after being dooimplted on corruption charges second time in six years amid a growing chorus of calls amid his resig resignation. this morning, senator menendez

on monday, menendez offering this explanation for the cash stuffed in his closet. >> for 30 years, i have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account. which i have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in cuba. >> reporter: among the charges, menendez used his influence as the powerful chairman of the foreign relations committee to secretly help the egyptian government secure u.s. military aid, even as he was publicly complaining about its human rights record. the indictment also says menendez tried to get prosecutors in two criminal cases to go easy in exchange for bribes including this $60,000 mercedes for the senator's wife in 2019, he proposed to her in song at india's taj mahal. they met in 2018 the same year menendez escaped conviction after a federal jury

the white house is denying that mr. biden's visit has anything to do with this trip, while the trump campaign is calling president biden's visit a cheap photo op and arguing the administration's push for electric vehicles will cost union jobs the uaw is one of the few labo unions that has not endorsed him yet, so this is crucial for him. but he faces significant risk because he's likely owning the results of these negotiations, no matter the outcome. hoda >> all right, gabe gutierrez for us there gabe, thank you. federal paychecks, services, even the nation's credit rating are at risk with four days now until a possible government shutdown nbc capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles has the latest on what's holding up the deal ryan, good morning. >> reporter: yes, good morning time is running out. right now there is just no deal on the table that can pass the republican house, democratic

story that all parents need to see. an exclusive look at a new report pulling back the curtain on how kids are spending all of those hours on their smartphones. >> it includes a stunning finding about how those phones are trying to draw them in each day. senior correspondent kate snow is more on that and actually how parents can start an open and honest conversation to try to make progress. >> exactly and that's the key thing we have known for a while that kids are spending hours and hours on smartphones, right? but this ground breaking report is giving us a better understanding of what kind of apps they're using, at what times and for how long and despite kids best efforts to pull away, a lot of teens and kids get sucked back in. it is a defining feature of a generation, kids constantly scrolling, messaging, playing games, watching videos now a new report is shining a

light on how much phones are trying to grab our kids' attention. common sense media tracked the android phones of about 200 kids ages 11 to 17 to see what they're actually doing 97% of them use their phones during school hours. almost 60% use them between midnight and 5:00 a.m. on school nights here's the most striking headline more than half the kids got 237 notifications or more every day, with some receiving more than 4,500. researchers say snapchat and discord, apps kids use for messaging sent the most notifications. >> the business model of social media platforms is to keep them on the platform so they can sell you ads. it's really an arm's race for your attention >> reporter: not all notifications are created equal. teens told researchers it's easier to ignore more impersonal alerts but when it is a direct link to their friends, they're drawn to their phones every time somebody sends her a direct message in snapchat, you

get a notification does it make you want to pick up the phone and look >> i mean, yeah. >> reporter: 14-year-old wasn't part of the study. but like the kids in the study, her top social media app is tiktok what is it about tiktok that you love >> i think that feeling of indulgence when you are going through the video. you know, it is really interesting to me. >> reporter: she spends a lot of time on the app, which was news to her mother. >> i'm shocked i feel like i'm waking up to this news. >> reporter: i know a lot of moms if their kids sat down and told them what they were doing would have that feeling. nbc news reached out to social media companies highlighted in the report tiktok says it sets a 60-minute daily screen time limit on teen accounts under 18, but teens can enter a pass code to continue watching snapchat and discord pointed out that their notifications are similar to text alerts on snapchat users have to opt in for notifications both platforms

say the number of notifications can be adjusted. meta, instagram and facebook's parent company says it has tools specifically designed to help teens limit their time and minimize notifications teens are automatically sent a take a break message after a certain amount of time common sense did find many kids are trying to set limits she has a time limit on her favorite apps, but that doesn't always work. >> i know the pass word to it, so i can get by the limit. >> when you reach the limit, do you find yourself putting in the pass word? >> all the time. all the freaking time. >> reporter: why is that, do you think? >> maybe, i think most of the time i'm not done watching a video and i'm really invested. or i just want more time on my phone. >> reporter: she admits her understanding of social media is limited, making conversations about what apps her daughter uses challenging >> it is difficult because the new generation knows lots more about these cell phones than my generation does. >> reporter: many parents are with her on that

so common sense is offering questions and talking points to help parents start the conversation, like which apps take upmost of their time? what draws them in and begin with admitting how you use your phone. >> it's really up to you as a parent to be having an on going and i would say a nonjudge mental discussion with your kids, but also talking about the positive things they can get from interaction on screens because that is the life kids are living ♪ >> i mean, there's so much there to unpack. this is the issue of our time in terms of teens and growing up and what these phones and devices are doing that their developing brains. you've covered ate long time what stood out to you? >> the big thing what i learned is that every kid is different right? so every phone they looked at had a different pattern. some kids are really into gaming some kids are really into social media. and other kids are putting -- i had no idea, putting their phone on all night long, like on youtube videos, for white noise.

and they sleep through it but they have their phone on literally all night. the way that maybe we would put the tv on in the background, some people do. >> i feel like we're all relying on companies to tell our kids to stop using the phone like they should put up an alert. but i feel like -- i mean, we talk about parents having discussions, meaningful discussions. i know maybe you feel like gave my kid the phone now it's too late to say, wait, wait, wait, now you can't use that you can't use that. >> the mom in the piece, she doesn't understand the apps. so many parents don't understand what they're doing here is what common sensz says, keep the phones out of the bedroom if you can make that a rule have a phone free dinner time or social time with your kids when ever you possibly can. and we have these questions, we mentioned in the piece, actual questions like a huge list of questions that parents can ask to start the conversation with their kids we put that up on today.com because i know i learned from reading those actual questions that can prompt a really open conversation. >> it's really complicated

because hoda is right. hopefully the companies will do better and send the alerts and password protection. it's about parenting it's a call to action for all of us it's really hard because we ourselves are addicted to phones. >> how many notifications do we get in a day. >> like hoda said the kids already have the phone how do you unring the bell the cat is out of the bag. we have to just get together with grace and humility and say, we have to try we have to try >> yeah. >> one thing is setting up parental controls before you even give the phone. i think that's a really good tip. i want to say, though, to their credit, in the study, most of the kids are trying. they know. this generation is much more savvy is what the researchers said they actually understand they're using their phones too much. and they're trying you saw armeda traying to put limits >> the oh thing we're talking these kids have the smart phones the flip phone for safety. those were a different issue we have little kids.

i have a 9-year-old girl my 6-year-old, they're begging me for a phone i joke about it now. oh, when you get a job when you're 18 when you're 21 but pretty soon the drum beat will grow louder and louder and so much pressure to have these fifth, sixth grader. once you give them the phone, it's over. you lost them. >> we wonder, too. they're brains are developing until they're in their 20s. >> yeah. >> so we were just talking about a study on a child's brain because we don't know. it's almost like these are all experiments walking around, staring at phones and many years later we're going to say, oh my gosh, what happened to these kids. >> when i first started reporting on this, probably ten years ago, there wasn't much research lately there has been a growing body of research to show, not all of it is conclusive, but there is an impact obviously >> yeah. >> with phone use, on mental health, on development. >> it's dra mat toik say this, i have this feeling, 10, 15 years science is going to show us,

handing them phones, teenage girls, without access was like giving them a pack of cigarettes it's as severe as that and consequential as that. we're very, very, very focussed on this issue. it's a topic we're going to keep focussing on, including next month we'll have a special event right here in our studio and tackle all of these issues facing parents and kids. try to get us together do our part. do the best we can and it's just about trying you know, i think so many good heart-parents want help. we don't know what to do. >> we're on it mr. roker? >> you look at your own screen time on your phone and see how much you've got going on they model what they see we have to be a little better. i know i'm guilty of that. right now we're looking at showers and thunderstorms around the great lakes. wet weather in the northeast heavier showers and thunderstorms down through the gulf seattle and the pacific
