60 Vote rule

I had a Trumper go off on me saying the media is ignoring the fact that trumpf is correct when he told Pelosi that he needed 60 votes in the Senate. This is regarding today's slugfest at the Whitehouse. I thought that the rethugs threw that rule out the window.

Need a civics lesson here regarding this rule.
Either now during a lame duck session of the house or after Jan. 3rd can they get wall funding passed?
Or is the idiot correct? Please tell me no.
