again. abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl leading us off. >> reporter: forget the 100 days milestone. the top agenda item in washington this week may be keeping the government from shutting down. funding runs out midnight friday, and right now the two sides are locked in a disagreement over whether the next spending bill will include money to start work on president trump's border wall. >> how confident are you that there will not be a shutdown? can you from that podium guarantee that there will not be a government shutdown? >> i can't guarantee. >> how close can you get to a guarantee? >> they feel very confident that that won't happen. >> so he won't insist that his priorities get funded on the border, the wall, increased security? >> that's not what i said. >> reporter: democrats are saying there's no way they'll agree to money for the wall. the white house says it's the president's top priority. although during the campaign he offered a different idea on how to pay for it. >> and who's gonna pay for the wall? >> mexico! >> who's gonna pay for the wall? >> mexico!

>> who's gonna pay for the wall? >> mexico! >> i've never done that before. that's actually cute. >> reporter: shortly after taking office, the president told david muir at first taxpayers would likely foot the bill and then get paid back. >> are you going to direct u.s. funds to pay for this wall or will american taxpayers pay for the wall? >> we're gonna be starting those negotiations relatively soon, and we will be in a form reimbursed by mexico which i -- >> so they'll pay us back? >> absolutely. 100%. >> reporter: as for the 100 days marker -- >> in my first 100 days. in our first 100 days -- just think about what we can accomplish in the first 100 days. >> reporter: the president has certainly shaken up washington, signing more than two dozen executive orders, he's on pace to sign more in 100 days than any president since fdr. but during the campaign, he promised action on ten different pieces of legislation in his first 100 days.

but he's only move forward with one so far, with repeal and replace obamacare. >> right now, he's 0 for 10. only one of those has actually been introduced. >> right, and i think he's going to continue to work with congress. as he says in that document, "i will work with congress to achieve these things. we are going to continue to work with congress to achieve those." >> but why have nine of them not even been introduced? >> i think, when you look at what he has done, the supreme court justice, the executive orders, the number of legislation. there's a lot that has gotten done. >> there's a scramble this week to get things down before day, including talks on reviving the health care plan. and the white house promises a new tax plan will be released wednesday. in an interview with the ap, the president acknowledged that succeeding in government is more complicated than business. "everything, pretty much everything you do in government involves heart," he said. "whereas, in business most things don't involve heart. in fact, in business you're actually better off without it." >> so, let's get to jon karl.

the president wants the american taxpayer to fund it, at least at first. >> i'm going to sport the president. >> reporter: that push could be pushing the government to the brink of a shutdown. what's your message to the democrats? >> there are some things they want and that's kind of horse trading. if you draw a line in the sand people usually do that, wind up getting more blame than others who don't. >> reporter: their message to the president -- back off. >> if the president wouldn't throw this border wall into t s this, we would have funding. >> this is just a down payment. you're shaking your head. >> show me. let's hear the plan. >> all right, so both sides digging in tonight. mary bruce with us live from capitol hill. as we heard, lot of debate over whether taxpayers will pay for the wall sf. >> one thing that both sides agree on, no one wants to see a

government shutdown. this doesn't necessarily mean that a deal will be reached this week. they'll pass a short-term extension to buy them some more time to negotiate. >> north korea upping the ante with the united states with a new and troubling move tonight. taking an american teacher into custody as he was about to return home. and the new threat to sink that u.s. carrier group. president trump in a new round of phone calls with china and japan and a new round of meeting with the u.n. security council. abc's bob woodruff in north korea. >> reporter: tonight, american tony kim remains in custody. the 58-year-old professor arrested in north korea while trying to leave the country. he has yet to be charged with a crime. he is one of three americans being held. >> please save my life. >> reporter: the other two serving lengthy prison sentences. tensions between the united states and the regime is reaching new highs.

what grade do they give president trump? we want to know, do you agree with any of the voters you're about to hear from? the first 100 days, we had to monroe county, pennsylvania, where about 500 votes separated donald trump and hillary clinton. frank, a vietnam vet voted trump. we're nearly 100 days into the administration, what are your thoughts so far. >> little disappointed. >> how so. >> he couldn't get the health care bill through. and he's having all kind of problems with the democrats. so it's a little disappointing. i don't blame him. >> who do you blame? >> the democrats. >> reporter: down en route 209, a nursy, where they say the election is offlimits. a navy vet works at the nursery. first 100 days, what's your report card? >> f and if i could give him a lower grade i would. >> why?

saginaw county, michigan. the difference 1% between hillary clint hillary clinton and donald trump. what grade. >> b-minus. i think he can't do everything on his own. that's many message that's getting lost. people want people in washington, d.c., to work together and they're not. i think the stonewalling isn't helping somebody like me. it's not helping people in the middle. >> good to see you. if you had to give a grade what would it be? >> i think i would be give him a b-plus. >> why is that. >> just the twitter. >> the twitter? the tweets bother you sf. >> well, i don't really read them but i know when somebody gets under his skin he starts twittering. i think he should grow up. >> did anyone at this table vote
