Tonight on 360, shut down hardball. Neither side budging on what divides them. The White House

raising the stakes with blue state spending cuts in federal layoffs now billed as imminent.

Also tonight, fact-checking the Republican claim from the president on down that Democrats are

holding out to fund health care for undocumented immigrants.

And later, new reporting on Defense Secretary HECS's new plan to strap top officials to lie

detectors to crack down on leaks. We'll have the details now that they've leaked.

Good evening, everyone. John Berman here in for Anderson. And we begin tonight at the end of

day one of the

government shutdown with one thing for certain, there will be a day too. The Senate made it so this

afternoon when members adjourned ahead of tomorrow's Jewish holiday. They won't be back until

Friday. Their last order of business failing to advance a Republican-sponsored bill to fund the

government for another seven weeks. With essentially

three exceptions, Democrats who want health care funding addressed are blocking the measure, which

needs 60 votes to proceed. So unless more break ranks, the shutdown will continue. And as it does,

two things are happening. One is that the major players on both sides of the aisle who are often hard to book,

they're all over the airwaves rushing to cameras to stake out positions,

and so far not showing much give.

Democrats want to avert this crisis,

but Republicans tried to bully us,

and it's clear they can't.

They don't have the votes.

Not yet, and not yet clear how that resolve will be affected by what the White House is doing to pour on the pressure by getting ready to implement the large-scale federal job cuts they have been threatening.
