President trump demanding 5 billion in tax payer money for the border wall. The house agreeing last night. Today, the pressure on the senate. Mitch mcconnell huddling at the white house, then back to the capit capitol. So far, the votes are not there. Last week, the president said he would gladly take the mannedle of a Government Shutdown for that wall. Tonight, hes blaming democrats the saying it could last a very long time. Without a deal, parts of the Government Shutdown down at midnight. Mary bruce starts us off. Reporter tonight President Trump is digging in on a last ditch effort to get his border wall. We are totally prepared for a very long shutdown. This is our only chance well ever have. Reporter hes demanding 5 billion, summoning republican leader Mitch Mcconnell to the white house. Mr. Leader, are we heading for a shutdown . Senator shelby and i, and some others who were invited down to the white house, had some good conversation about the way forward. Reporter but democrats are holding firm. You are not getting the wall today, next week, or on january 3rd when democrats take control of the house. Reporter just two days ago, the president seemed ready to fund the government without insisting on money for his wall. But then, a revolt from the white. It look like a lot of peoples worst fears may be realized. Its becoming clearer and clearer that all were getting are words, words, words. Reporter the president was listening and changed course. Lets face it, i mean we have two talk radio show hosts who basically influenced the president. And were in a shutdown mode. Its just, i mean, thats tyranny, isnt it . Reporter tonight, with hundreds of thousands of workers in limbo. A scramble to come up with plan b. But the blame game is already on. Trump once proudly declared he would own a shutdown. I am proud to shut down the government for border security, chuck. I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. Im not going to blame you for it. Reporter but now. Its really up to the democrats, totally up to the democrats as to whether or not we have a shutdown. Reporter the president says if there is a shutdown, democrats now own it. Thats a complete lie.

Heres Global Affairs correspondent martha raddatz. Reporter jim mattis was back at the white house today in a seemingly deliberate display of solidarity with fellow marine general john kelly, wh thnistration. Its been less than 24 hours since mattis resigned in protest of President Trumps policies. And the backlash against the president has been profound. Its beyond scary. It is evidence of chaos. Reporter majority leader mick mcconnell, normally hesitant to criticize trump, saying he was particularly distressed that mattis was resigning due to sharp differences with the president on key aspects of americas global leadership. A key concern of mattis abandoning americas partners in the fight against isis. Trumps withdrawal of u. S. Troops from syria, the last straw. Even hosts of trumps favorite program, fox friends blasted the president s judgment on the pullout from syria. He just refounded isis. They have 30,000 men there. And they are already striking back with our wouldbe evacuation. Reporter trump himself had nothing to say about mattis today, only a tweet saying, ive done more damage to isis than all recent president s, not even close but those claims come as the u. S. Is about to reduce the number of u. S. Troops in afghanistan by at least half, where isis is a continuing threat, a move mattis has also been firmly against. Martha rad dat joins us live from washington. The president said all u. S. Troops would be out of syria in 30 days. You mentioned a drawndown in afghanistan, as well. Is there a timeline for that .
