senate sole power tore try. and they envisioned the senate would be impartial. he did not see the senate or the house working hand in glove with the president. after all, the whole purpose is to judge whether the president abused powers of his office and should be removed. once the senate moves itself into the president's camp, and is just an agent for the president, they violated their own oaths of office. that's the thing that's important to remember. senators like members of the house and the president take an oath of office when they assume office, but when the senators sit in judgment in a senate trial, they take a special oath in addition to that oath that requires them to be an impartial, to do impartial justice. that's a constitutional requirement, and yet mitch mcconnell said, i'm not an joe biden is under scrutiny impartial juror. well, how can he take his oath for comments made about in good faith? and how can anybody in the bypassing a subpoena. senate take an oath in good telling an editorial board if he

>> reporter: the scene was neither pivotal nor political. >> down the hall and to the left. >> thanks. >> reporter: but after learning the cbc, canada's public broadcaster cut president trump's cameo in "home alone 2: lost in new york" some saw it as a left stunt. removinged scene in 2014, they say, years before president trump declared his presidency. the scene past of a time cut to show the film on tv. a common practice. hosts on morning show "fox & friends" had their own theories. >> terrified remind people how deranged his opponents are. >> and it's censorship. >> reporter: just boasting about the cameo in a videoconference call to troops abroad. >> the wig christmas hit. one of the biggest. an honor to be involved. >> reporter: the president

seemed to laugh it off. the movie will never be the same. just kidding. i get justin trudeau doesn't like paying up on trade. the president's son less amused calling the cut pathetic. at president's supporters rushed fire with a spoof. >> direct hit! >> reporter: rendering macaulay culkin's character with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer as the cat buggalers continuing a political feud that never got its christmas break. >> another christmas in the trenches. >> our president appeared in more than 20 tv shows and movies. so even that six-second scene cut from "home alone 2" there's always that scene from "the nanny nanny." about to take the stage, joe

not my thing. hi, everyone. happy saturday. i'm kendis gibson live at msnbc world headquarters in new york. joe biden doing backtracking after make new comments whether he would cooperate with a subpoena from the senate in an impeachment trial. >> do you stand by your earlier statements that you wouldn't comply if you were subpoenaed to testify in an impeachment trial

before the senate? >> correct. and the reason i wouldn't, is because it's all designed to deal with trump doing what he's done his whole life. trying to take the focus off him. >> biden there meeting with the all-important editorial board for the des moines register newspaper and hit with harsh criticism saying he wouldn't comply with a subpoena as democrats decry the decision by trump administration officials to do exactly the same thing during the house impeachment inquiry. moments ago in eastern iowa, tipton, iowa, biden appeared to change his stance. >> the whole point of this is, anyone subpoenaed related to this investigation with the president has be able to have some knowledge to shed on whether or not he committed the offenses he is accused of committing. i have no firsthand knowledge. there's no basis of it.

i would honor whatever the congress, in fact, legitimately asked me to do. >> busy day this holiday weekend for many of the candidates. all this from biden comes at the tame time he and other democrats continue to squabbleal over high-donor dollars. right now biden is leading in the national polls, but mayor pete buttigieg has pulled well ahead in the latest polls in the hawkeye state of iowa. nbc news road war your joining me now from marshalltown, iowa north of des moines just at a mayor pete event and clearly get in and out quickly. already wrapping up. first, talk about biden, shaq. appears he's backtracking a little on his comments he made about dieifying that subpoena. why? >> reporter: you nobody, it's not clear exactly why, or there was criticism for it, but how this whole situation started is just not clear why he got into

it in this type of way. let's start out with the fact this is a hypothetical situation that we're talking about. vice president biden has not been issued a subpoena in the impeachment process against president trump. we still don't know how that trial will happen in the senate and what that process will be, so when asked about whether or not he would comply with the subpoena which is a comment he addressed a little earlier in the month, he then went off with that comment and then had to backtrack. he tweeted about it this morning talking about the fact he doesn't believe there's a legal basis for that subpoena, but says he has complied with subpoenas throughout his whole entire career. this is not what the campaign would want to be talking about right now. they do want to talk about the voters just coming off the christmas break and into that crucial time. just about a month away from the iowa caucus. they want to be talking about the issues, not necessarily about president trump's impeachment. it goes to the point vice president biden was trying to make where he says that the, both the goal of the president is to shift the attention away

from him on to the candidates and i think that's what he's getting stuck in right now. >> yeah, but you're at that pete buttigieg event, which just wrapped up within the last couple of minutes. i mentioned he is front-runner according to latest polls in iowa. you get a sense he's trying to capitalize on it, run out the clock or introducing had you ideas at these stunt speeches? >> reporter: hard to run out the clock this early. especially true when you talk to iowa voter who say, yeah, they may have a decision that they made right now, they have a preference for a candidate but are still open to other candidates. still coming to other candidates events to hear their pitches to voters. mayor pete, he just wrapped up campaigning up until about new year's eve, but one thing that tng we contis
