did you say he's not going to have the gala tomorrow night at mar-a-lago?is tomorrow evening, the $100,000 a couple ticket, hosted by steve wynn. is the event off? >> i want to be clear. we know from the white house the president will not be traveling to mar-a-lago today. he could travel. he may be in attendance for tomorrow night's gala. i have no details about whether the gala will go on. i suppose it will. to be clear, the president isn't traveling today. for his plans for tomorrow, those remain to be seen. >> i might not have $100,000 for a party, but i'll bet you $1, the party is on. >> interesting. thanks, peter. >>> you'll probably see plenty of headlines and articles today with sort of details about donald trump's alleged affair with an adult film star.

of course, mar-a-lago is that.r party, they tend to keep the high rollers behind closed doors and not open that to the media. had the president been there, we might have had a better chance of seeing him. he did request coverage. that was turned down. i can tell you from being in palm beach, they also released some of the traffic constraints for those who live or are visiting the area because the president did not show. traffic is flowing a little better. mar-a-lago is also often a target of those who want to protest. we saw some of that again today. although the president is not here, in some ways, his presence is felt, as those who supported him are celebrating one year here in florida, not d.c. >> there was a party earlier this week for a lot less money where you could hang with eric trump. so tonight -- it was $300, you could go to a party and hang with eric trump. tonight, $100,000 a couple or $250,000 and couple and you get to hang with eric trump and don junior. >> reporter: the one earlier in the week was p

president would hold off his planned trip to mar-a-lago until a deal is reached. how dramatic. on the eve of a potential shutdown, a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll give us a look at how americans grade him. 39% approve of how the president is handling the job. 57% disapprove. a deeper look, 26% strongly approve of the with the's job performance, while a majority 51% strongly disapprove. that is a record high in a category for president trump. americans were also asked to choose one word describing how president trump's first year made them feel. in december, 38% said they felt disgusted. compare that to what the 25% who said that back in december of 2016. 23% said the president's first year made them feel hopeful, down from the 32% before the president took office. and here is the president talking about who should bear the blame during the last

government shutdown and this ist not how he planned on spending the weekend and planned to be in mar-a-lago and celebrating with his friends and big donors, but instead, he is here dealing with the crisis, and he has been on the phone with the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who has been on the the phone call with paul ryan, but the phone calls are not going anywhere, because the democrats are on the other side and they are not seeing eye to eye with the republican colleagues ark and this is a stalemate at this point, and yet both sides are trading the hashtags and trump shutdown versus schumer shutdown more than viable options to get out of this mess. all the taxpayers can do is to wait at home to watch it unfold on tv as we hope they do or spend their time doing something a bit more productive, but the president has responded to the women's march happening today and he put out a tweet in the last several minutes responding to obvious ly this is a fairly anti-trump women's march or series of women's marches that are happening all over the country, and he put it up just a little whil

it's warm at mar-a-lago. he really didn't want to be in washington. he was suppose to be headline a gala fund-raiser to mark the one year anniversary of his presidency. tickets started at $100,000 a pair that pays for dinner and a photograph with the president. for $250,000, the couple would be able to take part in a round table with the president. because of the shutdown he decided not to go to the fund-raiser. maybe because he had to be in washington to negotiate. maybe because it would look really bad. he is still in washington but the party is still on. for more on that we turn to nbc news white house correspondent who is down in palm beach, florida close to but not at the party, unfortunately. that would have been a fun way to spend an evening. what's going on? the party is going on. $100,000 a couple of $250,000 a couple and the president is not

what is in the president's mind as he canceled his trip to mar-a-lago.s soon as it begins. >>> more details on the 13 siblings police say were beaten, starved, neglected by their own parents for years. >> the details of this obviously so deeply troubling, children given one meal a day, one shower a year, no trips to doctors or departmenti i dentists. the oldest, a 29-year-old woman, weighed just 82 pounds when she was found. >> this is severe, emotional, physical abuse. there is no way around that. this is depraved conduct. they're relieved, i will say that. they're in good hands. they're being cared for. they're all in the hospital. their well-being is being looked at. their health is being looked at. they're in good hands. as far as where they're going to end up, i don't know. >> joining us now is dr. nadine caslow, thank you for being with us. we're sorry it is under these circumstances. these children allegedly abused for years, starved, beaten, chained. what are the first steps now to try to bring these kids back to health? >> well, i think the firs

a mar-a-lago friday. >> a shutdown friday. i'm christine romans. 31 minutes past the hour.doesn't feel like friday. we are 18 and a half hours away from a possible government shutdown. one that is increasingly likely. the senate adjourned without a stop-gap funding bill. there is no clear path to a solution. >> the congress goes back to work at 11:00. on the senate floor, democratic leader chuck schumer floating the idea of the stop-gap measure to fund for a matter of days, but aides to mitch mcconnell says they don't see the point. >> several republican senators laughed out loud when chuck schumer spoke. >> there is a real emergency in the immigration area. we have until march to deal with it. so make no mistake. we are where we are for one reason and one reason only. within a day of a government shutdown. that is the insistence of our friends on the other side that we deal with this non emergency right now. >> even the simple matter of trying to adjourn for the night raised objection. here is independent senator angus king. >> is there objection? the senator from maine. >

he wants to be able to fly off to mar a lago on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration where the crowds were the largest ever having solved this. we are of the same mind on that. >> i suspect we are talking to many of the same people. the thinking at the white house is there will not be a government shut down. they will find a very dramatic ceremony in the rose garden by which all of this can be worked out and it comes back to the president as a deal maker showing us on the one-year anniversary of his a cent to power the reason why people voted for him. to strike this massive amazing incredible stupendous deal at the last minute there by taking a victory lap from the south lawn by marine one heading to his very successful club where tickets for his one-year anniversary gala is $100,000 per couple at his private club, mar a lago. >> so do democrats in the senate stick together question one. question two, how would you pin this on the dems who don't control the white house, house, or senate? >> that's going to be tough. the american people are going to look at it and say republican

thank you so much for us here covering the president near mar a lago. we are going to talk more about the president in 2018. joining me to discuss this, cnn analyst jackie cosin itch. cnn legal analyst who used to serve to the assistant to the attorney general and margaret is also the correspondent for bloomberg news. we know the president has hopes for an infrastructure bill. is that what he is going to tackle out of the gate considering the house speaker has different things in mind? >> look, the infrastructure push is important to the president. they have been spending the last several months talking about a trillion plan. maybe $200 billion of it. you are right to say where is that money going come from? is it coming from entitlement reform or is that off the table? is it going to come from somewhere else. there is the whole immigration fighting for airspace this this crowded month of january before the state of the union. how do you deal with the daca people whose parents brought them here as young children. all of this is building up to a big figh

you said he was at mar-a-lago and did not recognize life-long friends? >> i will quote steve bannon, he's lost it. >> harsh words from the author of the book, "fire and fury." let's get reaction from somebody that knows the president well, chris ruddy. what is your reaction to what you just heard? >> chris, this is just so absurd and ridiculous, so 100%, i am around the president and have been around him quite a bit the past year and met him 20 years ago. he's not psychologically unfit or lost it as he claimed. i saw the president every other day over a ten-day period during the holiday, and i conversed with him numerous time and i saw him interact with people, and he was remembering things and he was on point and following up on discussions. i brought to the golf club a well-respected "new york times" reporter that had a half-hour sit-down interview with him, michael schmitt, and i don't believe michael walked out and said this man is crazy or unfit. this is just an absurd allegation by somebody who has talked to a lot of disgruntled people at the white

mar-a-lago is that. they tend to keep the high rollers behind closed doors and not open to the media. we did request coverage. that was turned down. they released some of the traffic constraints for those who live or visiting the area. traffic is flowing a little better. mar-a-lago is a target of those who want to protest. we saw some of that today. although the president is not here, in some ways his presence is felt as those who supported him are celebrating one year here in florida. >> there was a party earlier this week for a lot less money where you could hang with eric trump. it was 300 bucks. tonight, it's 100,000 a couple or 250,000 a couple and you get to hang with eric trump and don junior. >> reporter: the one earlier in the week was put together by a group of ladies who call themselves the trumpettes. they rented the space or leased the space, however they describe it for using event space. for palm beach, $300 is a low ticket number. part of basactivism that each py does to get them to be pa

but the president has his own countdown to leaving and getting out of town and going to mar-a-lago to celebrate his anniversary on the verge of whether or not the government is going to shut down. this matters to his administration more than most. if there's a shutdown, it would be the first one with one party controlling both houses of congress and the white house. but, as i said, he's going down to mar-a-lago in florida to celebrate his anniversary and play golf. let's begin with cnn's ryan nobles live on capitol hill. what do you know, ryan? >> reporter: chris, good morning. we are in a high-stakes staring contest on capitol hill as republicans and democrats hash out whether to pass a bill to keep the government open. they need 60 votes right now and as of right now the votes simply aren't there. >> i object. >> objection heard. >> we are in an urgent situation. this is irresponsible and i just don't understand it. so i object to the motion. >> tensions rising on the senate floor as the government barrels towards a shutdown with a deadline at midnight tonight. a 60 vote majority is

they arrived back from mar-a- lago about an hour ago. he did not make any comments or answer any questions, but we certainly expect to press him in the coming days about foreign policy. >> of course, the president has more than foreign policy on his plate. in terms of here at home and the legislation he's dealing with, infrastructure, is that still at the top of the list? >> reporter: the president has made clear that that is a top priority. congress also has to find some resolution for daca recipients to receive protection, but before any of that they have to avoid yet another government shutdown which is set to happen in less than three week. president trump is calling for bipartisanship to handle all of these items, but democrats say so far they've been left out of all these conversations. >> thanks so much. >>> coming up what oakland raiders are saying about the firing of their head coach and who could fill the vacancy. >> plus a bright beginning for 2018, why astronomers are getting ready for a month of moon gazing. >> but first we
