steven: i enjnjoyed by william jordan. thank you very much for coming in to us.s a former federal government employeeee what is it like when the federal government is shut down? >> it is verery nerve-racking, especially if you have bills to pay. if you have medical expenses or havave got to make different t plans r hohow yoare gogoing to spendnd christmas any presents f for people.e. they can be very disruptive in taking your holidays becauau all leave isis canceled. it can be very nerve-racking. it is worse for those people who are literally living paychececko paycheck. it is worse for those people who have not had the chance to save up foror this kind of eventuali. even though this has become the new normal, i would say this is for a lot of p pple unusual.. it is exceptional. if you just joined t the governmement or if you are y yog or contractor,r, which is s mord more the case working for the government, you are really without much to fall back on. it is very difficult. to the what happens government during these shutdowns? the money has been stopped.. does w

made some decent signings this january notably c'est flabbergasts and also now they are in william vanka so jordan will be working with a different sorts of the one he left in october when he was really short of so you shouldn't have any one any one game in nine and series and he won a couple of games in twelve since he took over which is why he's got the taking over. the way he was a legend as a player at. it just wasn't the right fit for him because the team was there for me so poorly so short of confidence there was the injury crisis and he didn't manage to even turn him into a team that was difficult to break down a lot of people in france think that jeremy still things like a player as well but he still thinks as an individual not as someone he's leading and see. a lot of people think he might learn from this experience may become better after it but that's it his ego and his style just didn't fit with what the prince party company did about sign. sports and politics appear to be mixing again this time in venezuela that country's opposition leader has been recognized as president by several c

williams? your thoughts on this? >> juan: i was interested in jim jordan's opening bid, because what he's trying to do is undermine cohen'sdibility out the box. the man is going to jail for lying. i think he does in the sense that, most prosecutors these people have been involved with the crimes to testify against other people. presidents call that behavior, a rat. gangster language. but i think that's what you're going to hear from people. because there is the possibility that cohen know so much about the president's business dealings with russia that we have not heard -- i guess we will get more details and colorful stories about the payments to the porn star in the "playboy" model, and the meetings with the russians at trump tower. the potential is there for this to be headlined. summing down not coming from somebody worked for the president for ten years. >> harris: among all that salacious in this, it's kind of baked end. but this man isn't just the proven felon he lied to congress. now he's going back. the bar for talking to congress is very different from the bar in talking with mueller, which is why i estimate the
