when he's negotiates then speaker nancy pelosi. he said i'm not a stupid man and walks out of the of the room. a leader stays engaged and persuades, comprises, cajoles, coaches does what has to be done in order to get there whenever there is. but that's one of the aspects of leadership. another aspect of leadership is a leader is tough on the subordinates just as on itself. when someone lost the trust of the fellow colleagues when he's lied and acted unethically. he needs to go. a leader has a vision. >> host: it's a principle. >> guest: absolutely. >> host: and other qualities a leader needs to have. >> guest: you need to be determined in the face obstacles. every decent life lived whether you're a mock or a ceo of the corporation overcoming adverse i are, getting there. and you continue give up. inspire. you keep going. you inspire your followers second and you keep going until you get there and the impossible gets me. the impossible by people with vision and determination. there's a reason we have leaders and we don't randomly s

we'll be back with democratic leader nancy pelosi right t aftethis. >>> check this out. this is new news tonight. this past spring, florida's republican gernor, rick scott, stard a purge to get people off the voter rolls in florida. one of the floridian voters who was targeted in that purgeas a nauh aga he got a letter from the state of florida this spring ordering him to prove his citizenship within 30 days or lose his right to vote. asery ncer hnt in his proof of citizenship. today he was told by mr. rick scott's administration, that's not good enough, he's going to prove his proof of citizenship all over again. they're tryi to purge him a second time. stt'sctdion has sent florida counties another new list of voters it wants purged off the voter rolls now, less than six weeks before the electi. his last purge targeted 82% nority voters,n heily cr m-dcoun, 98% of the people who he tried to purge off the voter rolls as noncitizens, 98% of those who responded actually were citizens, but of course 100% of the people targeted by the pge ha been threatened by the state of fl

nancy pelosi introduced herself as a mother and a grandmother. and we saw her daughter and granddaughter in the crowd. is it possibly a strong, efficient, accomplished political woman anymore without saying you are a mom first? >> i am not a mom. i guess it is -- absolutely. but i have to laugh about all the times where nancy pelosi has described her leadership in terms of motherhood and in terms of being a woman. and i think it does make her a powerful leader. and i think my life experiences that i bring to the job everyday also make me a strong leader. >> and can i follow-up. michelle obama could have told an alternative story that she went to princeton, she went to harvard law and became a successful lawyer. she went to the chicago hospital system making $300,000 a year. top 1%. it was a successful career story. and she probably had doubts about leaving that behind. why is that not possible to tell that story? >> well, it is possible. but i think people want to know a little bit more about especially leaders who place their names on the ballot

nancy pelosi was determined she went over the president. that decision that went over, doesn't mean she stayed at the reservation. there were key moments in which it looks like it was going to fail and obama wanted to distance himself from that failure. so he would pull a disappearing act and he would have to hunt down and get him to call a congressman who was issuer. she then had ernie frank. >> host: i think this is part of the difference on health care. >> guest: that's a great part of it. also most likely with valerie chery. there's the executive personality and is probably doing a pretty good job. >> host: let's talk about what nancy pelosi did and is in the last few weeks when he enrolled at harry reid and david he suggested. >> guest: a number of innovative confronted their old members said they had to go for it to see the senate. she pushed it through. she said there's a sense, will climb the fence. if there's a court in front of me, we'll get through the gate and parachute in. she was absolutely determined that she got there. but u

nancy pelosi 99% of the time and counting . a in washington, she works for policy, not a high ... >> so basically saying that she votes like nancy pelosi? >> she is a democrat, is not the craziest thing that she votes like a party leader, i guess demonizing nancy pelosi is just saying that she is a democrat, who votes like a democrat. so i don't know if they forgot to photoshopped horns on or or what ever for that video but it was extraordinarily something to see, on npr they were interviewing of someone from this we states about the abundance of political attack ads and she said " i long for the days of drug commercials " >> speaking of nancy pelosi, she made some predictions? >> the political equivalent of pointing to the left field from home plate, on friday she said that the democrats have a 60 percent chance of retaking the house of representatives, that is an extraordinary thing to say because that would require that democrats picked up 25 seats in the house. most political analysts say that democrats can count on about a

nancy pelosi is our guest, next. bob, these projections... they're... optimistic. productivity up, costs down, time to market reduced... those are good things. upstairs, they will see fantasy. not fantasy... logistics. ups came in, analyzed our supply chain, inventory systems... ups? ups. not fantasy? who would have thought? i did. we did, bob. we did. got it. when you take a closer look... ...at the best schools in the world... ...you see they all have something very interesting in common. they have teachers... ...with a deeper knowledge of their subjects. as a result, their students achieve at a higher level. let's develop more stars in education. let's invest in our teachers... ...so they can inspire our students. let's solve this. sleep train's inveis ending soon. sale save 10%, 20%, even 35% on a huge selection of simmons and sealy clearance mattresses. get 2 years interest-free financing on tempur-pedic. even get free delivery! sleep train stacks the savings high to keep the prices low. but hurry, the inventory clearance sale is ending soon. superior service,

and you had nancy pelosi just on saying there was enough security. if they are as wrong in their security estimate of iran as they were about the consulate in benghazi, we are in serious trouble. >> let me turn you back to the economy since it remains the issue number one. when you look at -- i'm sorry, a "the new york times" cbs poll about the probable electorate. the question, which candidate would do a better job handling the economy and unemployment. president obama, 47, mitt romney, 46. your candidate has lost the edge when it comes to the economy. if the economy is as bad as republicans have told us it is, what is holding mitt romney back here? from your description of the economy, others' description of the economy, this should be a president that doesn't have a chance, and yet he is beating mitt romney. >> there's no such thing as incumbent president doesn't have a chance. having the presidency is an enormous advantage. the president used it well. they have done a good job, unfair, raising questions about mitt romney and paul ryan, and romney

nancy pelosi was determined she had won over the president. but it doesn't mean he stays on the reservation. there were key moments in which it looked like it was going to fail, and obama want to distance himself from that so he was pulling the disappearing act and pelosi would have to hunt him down and get him to call away from the senator and congressman that wasn't sure. she had the congressman barney frank. most of the some of the reasons that he was in chicago went along and washington in part because of the differences on health care. >> guest: that as part of a also, difference is most likely. but also the executive personality fits right in. he's probably doing a good job as the mayor of chicago. >> host: let's talk about what nancy pelosi did come and i am particularly interested in the last few weeks when she ruled harry reid she did what she wanted to do. >> guest: she would come of the number of innovative maneuvers like the task and she comforted her own members. she pushed it through. we will get through the gate and she is absol

of course, this is a big claim from nancy pelosi. does it add up? you've seen the research. >> so, i think it's, there's a small possibility that democrats could retake the house. but it's not particularly big. my current projections here at this center for politics show the democrats winning a net of six seats far short of the 25 they need. that's up from a net gain of four where we projected last week, but throughout the summertime, we thought the democrats would be somewhere in the single digits. part of the reason, the republicans are also doing making gains in some others. if this truly boils down to kind of a tit for tat back and forth between the two parties and there's not much movement in the house, well, the status quo is good for the republicans because they're the ones who hold a 25-seat advantage. >> if you're saying six seats, but they need 25. why can't you firmly move it out? how could things move so much from here until election day? >> so, one thing we're tracking is what's called the generic ballot. a poll question asks respondent

in 2012, we are all celebrating congresswoman nancy pelosi's 25th year representing her district and championing the needs of the american people as democratic leader. in her congressional leadership, mirrors the very quality of this bridge. the innovation, hope, both this, the sturdy resolve, and the claim and admiration of our community, our country, and indeed, our world. just like the leaders to envision this bridge, leader pelosi has broken barriers and she has prison for skeptics wrong. she made history as the first woman speaker of the house. she brings innovation to the challenge facing our country. she fosters' hope, and like this brick during the great depression providing employment, she believes in jobs and opportunities for every american. she brings an openness and welcome to all people, just like the icon expand stretching across the golden gate. and believe me, she has this 30 result of the 746-foot tall towers. beyond all that, leader pelosi appreciates the beauty that surrounds this bridge. she has ensure the national park lands that touched this bridge retain their

in particular, with relation to nancy pelosi. she was extraordinarily influential in the health care debate and moving it forward with the president leaving from behind. >> guest: yes, that is pretty much it. you know, i don't share nancy pelosi's politics, but i have come to admire her as a leader. i really got a different sense of nancy pelosi. here is someone who is very jealous of her prerogative to speaker, but had a very different idea. she had been on the democratic platform since 1948. lbj had tried, clinton had tried, she wanted to try and she wanted to win. she wanted to get some version of national health care passed costs in the united states and she did it. first, she had to win over obama himself. rahm emanuel was completely opposed. >> host: he had been there before and seen this movie before. >> guest: exactly, he had seen this and he had done so. it could be a disaster and you could see it coming. there were key moments in which it looked like it was going to fail, and he wanted to distance himself from that. los

nancy pelosi -- nancy pelosi does it routinely. >> shep: wait, wait. >> now the former speaker, soaping she can step in and declare what the theology of the catholic church is. >> carl, let me be clear on this, nancy pelosi is a political animal. all right? whatever she says doesn't surprise me. this woman comes out under the heading of the kennedy name and the kennedy legacy and directly besmirches her church. that's stunning. >> she may not be a politician in the way that nancy pelosi is, but she comes from a very political family. her presence there tonight was on behalf of that family. she's been a political figure. she was a key endorsement for barak obama in 2008. there is a reason why they asked her to take a role tonight on the night that the president is speaking. >> she didn't have to do that, though. >> you're right. neither does nancy pelosi. i agree with you. it's gratuitous when people of any faith go out of their way to basically say i'm a catholic and i'm telling you that i disagree deeply with the catholic church's opinions and i'm going to do so in a political sphere i

and you had nancy pelosi saying they had enough security. if they're as wrong about that as that, we're in serious trouble. >> let me return to the issue of economy. when you look at a new york times/cbs poll, this was about the probable electorate and the question was which candidate would do a better job of handling the economy and unemployment. president obama, 47%, mitt romney, 46%. your candidate has lost the edge when it comes to the economy. if the economy is as bad as republicans have told us it is, what is holding mitt romney back here because from your description of the economy, others' description of the economy, this really should be a president that doesn't have a chance and yet he's beating mitt romney. >> there's no such thing as an incumbent president doesn't have a chance. having a presidency has an enormous advantage. he's done well. an unfair one but they've done a good job of raising all kinds of irrelevant questions about mitt romney and paul ryan and the romney/ryan campaign has to overcome that. if you look at the fun

democratic leader nancy pelosi will be in san francisco. she's joining volunteers and is hoping to rally campaign workers as they enter the final stretch of campaigning. while pelosi is back in the bay area. mitt romney is heading out. last night, he arrived at sfo for a fund-raiser at a private estate in strawberry hill in hillsborough. about 400 po -- about 400 people paid about 1,000 to 50,000 people to attend that event. quests -- guests told us they think mitt romney is what they needed. >> i think he's the right guy in there. >> i've talked to many people who voted for president obama last time around and there are many that are not going to this time. >> but not everyone welcomed romani last night. his motorcade passed by a couple of dozen protesters holding signs supporting president obama. >>> and mitt romney released his 2011 sales tax. they paid a 14% tax rate. he issued a health report which says his heart is healthy. >>> president obama is getting ready return to the campaign trail. this morning he will head from washington to

nancy pelosi stands idly by. all of that here tonight and more. one of the most important questions facing voters this year is has the president delivered on his promises to the american people. president obama himself refusing to give his performance on the economy a letter grade. as the national debt today hits $16 trillion. the president, settling instead for incomplete. the third time in as many years that he is offered that assessment. and a serious change in tone from four years ago when senator obama told voters that he knew he had only one term to turn things around. >> one nice thing about the situation i find myself in is that i will be held accountable. i have for years. a year from now come i think people are going to see that we are starting to make some progress. there is still going to be some pain out there. if i don't have this done in three years, there will be a long-term proposition. lou: tonight, at the democratic national convention kickoff being greeted by disappointing economic news. the national debt has risen since presid

the difficulty exists because leader nancy pelosi, soon-to-be speaker nancy pelosi, she is right. if democrats when control the congress, it gets done. if they do not get control, it will be hard for the president to live up to his promise. i do not believe republicans will ultimately obstruct. lamar smith, the charity gigi sherry committee in the house of representatives, -- the judiciary committee, the day after the president released his statement, was going to release a press release. why? he was told to put it back toward we will get this done. it is just a matter of when. >> congress has the lowest approval rating in its history. >> do not the cad me. >> it is there. -- you are there. >> will continue to be like this? congress has never been more polarized. >> is not interesting that every election for president really is the most important elections in our lifetime? that is the case in 2012. we are at this crossroads. it is almost as if we are watching america and what destiny it will have. will we be the destiny, where the america of the leadership of the julian castro and
