Completely canceling it. but accepting that january 3rd letter, which he then points out also in his that, you know, it was long after the government had shut down. so for her to then dip in and say she was worried about security -- i will add again, she did not check with the secret service on that. joe, i see you nodding. >> joe: one of the things that would be very important, if youre going to make statements -- which, i have sat on the spot before, ive made some statements and i get tweets a...

Thats untruthful. i have a sense of ethics that is as high as anybody you can imagine. lets talk about it, shall we with our next guest, cynthia ox knee, former federal prosecutor whos nodding her head back and forth. have you ever seen anything like this? >> no, ive never seen anything like it. theres a lot of talk about what possibly is the value-added rudy, and one is you can make an argument, oh, he gets facts out in advance. >> and he works for free, i should add that. >> he works for free....

Hes known trump for 30 years and hasnt heard him complain. last night giuliani was asked by "the new yorker" if not always being truthful while working for trump might impact his legacy. his answer was interesting. quote, im afraid it will be on my gravestone. rudy giuliani, he lied for trump. somehow i dont think that will be it, but if it is, so what do i care? ill be dead. i figure i can explain it to st. peter. he will be on my side because i am so far, i dont think as a lawyer i ever said a...

Leader and vice president pence. i said where is nancy pelosi. the deal was clearly to get trump to recognize that the polling was bad for him and also that this is bad for agents and people not getting paid. whether the democrats want to take the deal now that theyre in charge is really up to them at this stage, but lets just not forget, he had this deal four months ago and he was unwilling to take it. this is a fold for the president. >> all right. jackie, youre nodding in agreement. this is a...

Shutdown. the distractions have been russia news, theyve been steve king news. none of this is good for the president. and, look, i think we dont have a sense that things are going well at all and theres any end game to this. i think what democrats are trying to focus on is staying out of the goat rodeo as much as possible. i think there have been lapses this week, the back and forth between nancy pelosi and donald trump. i dont think they want nancy pelosi in the frame. but overall, there there...
