[cheers] 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. new ensure max protein. in two great flavors. welcome back. lets bring in tonights panel. ruth marcus, saheel matthew, i with you. the debate that we have, does it matter if the president didnt have credibility? it is sort of like he can have credibility even when he doesnt tell the truth or doesnt he. it is different than to seriously literally the debate a yea...

Focus on obstruction. this could be a very major thing. i think it lays out a very good case for anyone whos paying attention for the american public to look at and say, goodness gracious is this what the president was doing. >> jill, there are several questions in here about the presidents first national security advisor, michael flynn, who, of course, the president had to fire. michael flynn has already pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi and so, presumably, the special prosecutor already has a...

Seeking possibly immunity or possible pardon. now robert mueller already has information about that from michael flynn, doesnt he. >> absolutely. there was a lot of stories of john dowd having discussed pardons. so its going to be hard to deny these things when the evidence is clear. i cant remember how long ago it was that rudy giuliani said ill get this taken care of in a week or two, itll be all wrapped up. i dont think were anywhere near that, though. i want to be part of your law firm of ru...

Still going to be incredibly fragile. >> right. so nathan, you know, from your perspective what do you think was the tipping point? obviously north koreas been under economic sanctions for a long time. we have president trumps very strong rhetoric on this issue. what do you think was the determining fact theyre got kim jong-un to kind of come to the table? >> its tough to be inside of kim jong-uns head. thats probably a dangerous place to be. im not sure where the negotiations -- where we end up...

Definition is different? >> well, it has been. he doesnt agree thus far with what the world expects of him. so thats a difference thats going to have to be bridged. the united states, its allies want complete elimination of nuclear capacity. and the potential to rebuild. thats a big ask. but once someone is at the table, all those possibilities come forward. when gorbachev started in the negotiations with reagan in 1985, what ultimately came out of that in 1987 was inconceivable. we should remem...

Hasnt been made yet. it is an unprecedented act in american history to pardon a crony, one might say. >> this is all unprecedented. >> i understand that. >> you couldnt even have come up with that. >> thats for sure. why doesnt he pardon him? >> why doesnt he? >> because he would get an enormous amount of criticism including from republicans. maybe he doesnt care. >> yeah, i mean, i know youre just playing devils advocate here, just to be clear, if the president preemptively pardoned michael coh...

Took office his approval rating was 40%. after everything thats happened -- >> still there. >> -- its exact -- so why would pardon doning michael cohen affect his numbers. >> you know what his rationale is? its the same one as not talking to robert mueller, im not going to do it. michael cohen, this is my guy. i know him. i know what hes done. hes a goodman. hes not like these drug addicts that you are talking to. oh, by the way i care a lot about addiction which is a real problem for the presid...

>> theres no defense there to present the other side. >> well, one second here because the -- yes, it is, the way they got the warrant. however we know now people have been charged and one defending. if any information gleaned from any of these search warrants came from any affidavit that referenced the dossier, i hate calling it the dossier, to challenge the contents of that warrant and would squash the warrant, whatever he wants to do and those facts will come out. but see, were talking about ...
