We are going to begin tonight with a trip to the border, and Government Shutdown about to tie a record. President trump flew to the Rio Grande Valley to push for border wall funding today. Without it, the partial Government Shutdown continues, and tomorrow, will tie the longest ever. Cbs news is told the president is laying the groundwork to declare a National Emergency to build a barrier. Federal workers protested the standoff in several cities at unionorganized rallies today. About 800,000 stand to miss paychecks tomorrow. Jerome powell, chairman of the federal reserve, said today the u. S. Economy could suffer if the shutdown lasts much longer.

Mexico border near mcallen, and the people who protect it, part of his ongoing eompaign to portray the border fs overrun by migrants, drugs, and human trafficking. So were going to get this straightened out, hopefully. Ellfully the democrats will come to their senses. Reporter before leaving for texas, the president , frustrated by democratic opposition to wall funding, said he is seriously considering declaring a national ioergency and seizing unspent pentagon construction funds. I have the absolute right to declare a National Emergency. The lawyers have so advised me. Prm not prepared to do that yet, but if i have to, i will. Reporter president s have declared National Emergencies nearly 60 times since 1976. President bush invoked one after 9 11, and president obama declared an emergency in sesponse to a flu outbreak. Mr. Trump would use the declaration to free up billions in unallocated military construction money. But such a move would almost certainly draw a legal challenge, and some Senate Republicans cautioned mr. Trump not to sidestep congress. I dont want to see a declaration of National Emergency. I think thats an action that would be taken in the most extreme circumstances. Reporter the president today also backtracked on his Famous Campaign pledge that mexico would pay for the wall. And i never meant theyre going to write out a check. I said theyre going to pay for it. They are. They are paying for it with the incredible deal we made called the united states, mexico, and canada deal. Reporter during the campaign, mr. Trump said he would tax money sent back to mexico. His Campaign Website also said mexico could pay through a one time payment of 5 to 10 billion. There was also rhetoric like this so a lot of politicians said, you cant get mexico to pay for the wall. I said, oh, its going to be so easy. Its going to be so easy. Reporter on capitol hill today, there was no sign of dampromise.

Not only was the president unpresident ial surprise, surprise yesterday, in his , havior. I think the meeting was a setup so he could walk out, but. Ill say just that. Glor we mentioned tomorrow will tie the longest shutdown ever. How does this end . Reporter well, if the president declares a National Emergency, jeff, it ends this way. The president gets the money, survives a legal challenge, and then signs all the bills to reopen government. And its a Pressure Point on congress, telling congress, essentially, negotiate with me now, or run the risk of me getting the money and you being cut out of the process. One interesting wrinkle, jeff . The president announced today he hent attend the World Economic forum in davos, switzerland, on january 22 because of the shutdown, suggesting hes girding for up to two weeks more.
