the state of the union coming to a screeching halt today. >> the state of the union speech has been canceled by nancy pelosi because she doesn't want to hear the truth. >> reporter: she yanks her invitation to president trump. >> we found out she canceled it. i think that's a great blotch on the incredible country that we all love. >> reporter: pelosi citing the shutdown at the reason. >> i still make the offer. >> reporter: her response coming hours after trump told pelosi that he was making plans to be there on time, on schedule and very importantly on location. pelosi's move catching the president off guard. >> i'm not surprised. it's a shame what's happening with the democrats.
