that you could point to and say, that person could be pelosi. if she survives, it will be the absence of any unified op. cit. -- opposition. host: let's look at a national ad from the rnc and then we will look at arkansas. the rnc, as the republican party does take aim at the former house speaker, now democratic leader in the house of representatives. nancy pelosi, right now, i guess we could call her the incoming speaker of the house of representatives. cancel --ld like to raise taxes? >> the second part is accurate. >> the economy has been losing jobs for months. >> yes, we will raise taxes. >> officials call it a regulations tsunami. >> anti-immigration marches to abolish ice. >> a growing sense the u.s. military has significantly changed and not for the better. >> similar mismanagement within the veterans benefits administration. theig personnel cuts by u.s. army, the latest in a series of downsizing those. -- moves. >> what i represent and senator sanders and senator warren, that is the nature. pathetic, just like giving you a bowl of doggi

pelosi phelps good morning -- ms. pelosi: good morning. here we are this morning. maybe the last time for many weeks to come. because today the republican majority closes down the house for five weeks. heading home after months spent stacking the deck for the special interests, mortgaging the -- our future with their tax scam. for the rich. and dismantling families' health care. americans have watched house republicans relentlessly and cruelly work to drive up their health costs. republicans voted to destroy protections for people with pre-existing conditions in their trumpcare bill. now they're trying to destroy those life-saving protections in the courts. in addition, instead of enabling the secretary of h.h.s. to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices, republicans handed tens of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the same big pharma companies, hiking prices up for seniors and families. the president during the campaign, you probably remember, when he said he was going to negotiate like crazy to lower prescription drug prices, enable the secretary to do t

nancy pelosi is a. it is like one of their own eras in their quiver against democrats. it will work in some places come a few places. worked in the church special election last year. but she is not nearly as big a demon for republicans as clinton and josÉ -- as clinton and president obama were. i can see democrats getting to 218 seats in this election. it's a little harder to see where this nancy pelosi get 218 votes for his beaker if democrats win a majority. and it is not animosity towards her personally, but just sort of a generational change. the biggest argument for policies surviving this is there isn't a single or two really strong contenders to you can point to and say that person. >> let's look at the rnc in an arkansas and how this has been playing out in a congressional race. from the rnc has the republican party does take game at the former house speaker, not democratic leader in the house of representatives, nancy pelosi. >> nancy pelosi, right now i guess we can call her the incoming speaker of the house of representatives. >> you would like to cancel --

pelosi: i'm ok. reporter: as we speak there's this hearing on the house judiciary and oversight committee with peter strzok. we had a situation yesterday where lisa paige had been subpoenaed and she did not adhere to that subpoena. obviously you probably don't agree with how the republicans are approaching this, but that said, when a committee in the house of representatives issues a subpoena, the expectation is that it should be complied with. do you think that if there is an action taken against her that that puts the house as an institution in a bad place, if witnesses who have been subpoenaed are not appearing before committees? ms. pelosi: i think the republicans in congress have placed the house of representatives in a very bad place with their behavior on the floor of the house. and in committee. many of them are attorneys. would you think that they would know better than to bring a bill to the floor of the house that calls upon the justice department to give them documents related to the muel

i think nancy pelosi is a historic figure. she's done so much for the party in terms of keeping the caucus together. the republicans are looking for new leadership. there's new young democrats on the house side that should step up and take the mantel. people like seth molton. there's people that are looking at congress today, willing to work with republicans if it makes sense and represent the principles of the democratic party. i think she will face a serious leadership challenge and she will probably not be speaker if the democrats win. >> i said in that question from politco that they're looking for -- it wasn't the word "qualified" but it was like that. tim ryan, qualified candidate. >> he can't win. >> remember when she got bum-rushed at the podium for daca? all talk, no action with some of what they were yelling at her. >> pelosi has unified the democrats but shells like charles de gaulle unifying in london. >> he was hiding. >> when france was in trouble. >> and then they gave him the airport. >> it's not just about age

nancy pelosi an enormous debt of gratitude. i do not think anyone has raised as much money as she has. having said that, i think there are a fair number of -- a decent number of sitting democrat members and other candidates that like her a lot and respect her a lot and are in or miss the grateful for everything she has said and done for the party, but who think it is time to move on. that is a sort of growing sentiment out there, and i say that with no malice towards her whatsoever. this is now getting to be a pretty loud noise out there. the only thing that is pushing back is there is not one or two alternatives that look really strong, that we say that person could be her -- beat her one-on-one. there have been a lot of rising stars in the democratic party that have left the house. there is not one or two. they have some people that are real rising stars. , maybe its their time is a few years away from their time. i will make a prediction. congressman joe kennedy, this guy will be a star. he is going to be a president, vice p

>> she's right, pelosi is differently has wishful thinching right there. this was a clear message to the top democratic leadership in the house that democrats want change and their hire arcry and they want the establishment out and new blood at the top and they are ready to see somebody else lead beyond pelosi. consider this, there are 20 democratic candidates challenging republicans in swing districts where they have come out in ads or interviews and said i will not vote for nancy pelosi to be speaker if we take back the house. they will probably only have a majority of five to ten seats which means that pelosi could only lose a handful of democrats if she wants to maintain the gavel and if all of those candidates stick with their word and vote against her to become speaker, there's no way she can do this. >> she has a problem and she's -- she was speaker. she has been the highest ranking woman in american politics for a reason. even this has a her a bit back on her heels. try to listen to her explain this away. let's see what she says a day and week from

leader pelosi, thank you so very much. thank you. and here's my colleague. >> i want to start off by thanking leader pelosi, thank you for all you do for so many. my name winnie staffberg and i'm vice president of ex-personal affairs here at the american -- center for american progress action fund. i'm pleased to moderate with three distinguished members of congress who are playing key roles in this powerful democracy reform movement. representative john sarbanes represents maryland's third district. he's chairman of the house democrats democracy reform task force. congressman sarbanes played a big part in formulating the better deal for our democracy which we'll talk a little bit about in a moment. he's theals lead sponsor of the house resolution that bring this is reform package to legislative life. since being elected in 2006, representative sarbanes has fought for democracy solutions such as small donor financing which is a central pillar of the better deal package and he's also working on another piece of legislation that c.a.p.

then on the notion of nancy pelosi as border hawk or nancy pelosi was putting it, willing to do things that republicans won't on the border, notice how she didn't actually name any of these recommendations. she has some faint recollection of things in the 9/11 commission report that perhaps she would like to see implemented, instead she never did anything to implement them. if it was a good idea, tell us what it is? democrats are basically quasi-open borders as a party and nancy pelosi is helping to lead the efforts. they should be honest about, but the problem, trish, the american people don't tend to agree with them. trish: many years ago there were a number of democrats actually did want better border security. they actually talked about this long before the whole idea of the wall from donald trump ever surfaced. now they have amnesia because apparently it is politically expedient to do so. to talk instead of opening the floodgates and welcoming everyone. i do think, buck, when push comes to shove, you talk to people out there in the middle of the country anywhere, it doesn't make s

nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are under fire from the left over their handling of president trump's feud with maxine waters. a letter signed by about 200 black female leaders and allies, meaning men, blast pelosi and schumer for distancing themselves from the congresswoman after she devoted the harassment of trump officials. their letter reads in part, and i quote, disparaging or failing to support congresswoman waters is an affront to her and black women across the country and telegraphs a message that the democratic party can ill-afford that it does not respect black women's leadership and political power and discounts the impact of black women, millennial voters. not sure what millennial voters have to do with this. we'll get to that. have they not heard a single thing congresswoman waters has

i will have a conversation with leader pelosi. and then my colleague will have a conversation with a few members of congress who have been leading this fight. we're all familiar with the many accomplishments of leader pelosi and all she's achieved in her remarkable career. she's the first woman in history to serve as speaker of the house. and she is, in many ways, the person in congress most responsible for passing the affordable care act and defending it now. leader pelosi has also fought tirelessly to curb the influence of money and politics to expand voting rights and to bring greater accountable to our government. and i will just say that i have witnessed her firsthand taking bold and courageous steps, steps she knew would be difficult and that would be unpopular for the american people. so i am thrilled to welcome leader pelosi to the stage. >> thank you so much for being here and for your leadership of this and so many other important -- i actually would like to start off on some of the news that is happening. obviously, on

rich hearing nancy pelosi talk about a swamp creature when she's the largest swamp creature that exists. >> it's absolutely true. and you know, it's funny. when democrats complain about cronyism, my side hurts from laughter. >> when bernie sanders that scott pruitt is the worst epa administrator in history, name me one other person that has run the epa. i don't think anyone can do it. >> i can. >> gina mccarthy. she spent more than $100,000 on the ten international trips she took under her watch. we dumped three million gallons of mine waste in the colorado river. the river the color of your dress, kennedy. >> if you run on draining the swamp, he put somebody in that practically started a gator farm on the mall in washington. >> and the irony, he cut regulation. the irony, the work that he did that angered democrats so much is so positive for the economy. >> part of the president's mandate. that's what he knew better than to do the dumb stuff. don't go to morocco. stop going to oklahoma. stop getting your wife a chick-fil-a. >> everybody wants one. >> i do, too. >> i had it first the fi

all of her tv ads tied her opponent to nancy pelosi, nancy pelosi is toxic, trump wins the day. >> harris: what is she to your party? >> it doesn't mean a ton in this district, this is a republican district by 16 points. it doesn't mean an awful lot that attacking someone who voted for a democrat in the past was going to gain traction in this crowd but that's not where the midterms will be fought. they will be fought in places like pennsylvania, even after donald trump endorsed the republican candidate. >> harris: that causes your candidate to lean right. >> i'm so happy you brought up connor lamb, that's the model for the democratic party, he said "i'm running against nancy pelosi." he ran as a term proposer, democrats are electing socialists, electing people who love socialized medicine in a district that trump won by six points. you are electing socialists, not the trump lovers. >> we are electing democrats across the country. we have more democratic candidates than any time in recent history, more women than any time in recent history. special election after election after the country

nancy pelosi? you know that you have to have 208 members of the house vote for the democratic party for speaker? >> i am aware of that. >> dana: he says he will support whoever the democratic party puts forward, i guess that that could be nancy pelosi or something else, do you think that we paid too much attention to the issue of nancy pelosi and in the local races it is not a big deal? >> i think that is right, what we see our democrats and nominated candidates who fit the location. i cannot think of a case in recent history where the house majority was decided over who the opposition party leader is or is going to be. at the end of the day, i still think if this election is going to be a referendum on anybody, it is going to be a referendum on donald trump, and not to nancy pelosi. in the leadership issues in the democratic caucus will let themselves out i guess a month after the election. >> dana: it is hard not to talk about one election before the midterms is over, but matt, it is inevitable,

pelosi: i served on that committee myself, and was ranking member at one point. that is why when i have the privilege of making appointments wantader and speaker, i nothing for the best for the committee. as you have heard, we have great leadership on the committee. i thank my colleagues for talking about what our challenges are. withl associate myself their remarks in acknowledging the men and women that serve our intelligence community. one of the sad things has been the seemingly carelessness on the part one of the said parts of all of this has been the seemingly carelessness on the part of people in this administration to members,intelligence and put people at risk. i think you and i will take any .uestions you may have yes >> yesterday, you mentioned that you were charging people with suspicious activity as a russian agents, and you mentioned that you are very likely to go after them. ?hat do you mean by that was someonetina that we have in our witness list that we wanted to invite to testify before our committee, along with others who were mentioned as part

listen, nancy pelosi is apple's ing and a curse, right? the blessing with nancy pelosi for the democrats, not for us, is she's great at whipping votes she just is. the obamacare, the massive expansion of government, the stimulus under obama, you can thank nancy pelosi. it's not surprising obama would want her back but the curse part for the democrats with nancy pelosi is she simply cannot keep her foot out of her mouth. the crumbs comment. she says things that are utterly ridiculous and politically hurt the democrats at the same time, but i completely understand why barack obama would want a political tactics like her back in that position. she's really good at winning votes and keeping them in line. look the tax cut plan, guys there was not one democrat vote. the republicans can't even seem to agree on cutting government spending outside of the freedom caucus so she does her job well. she just says sometimes things that are, you know? not good for the party. abby: she doesn't always read the reports either with healthcare she's like let's

, and the calls for pelosi to step aside for a new generation of leaders have grown louder. quizzed on that point, pelosi fought back. >> what's your problem. >> reporter: the stakes for democrats could not be higher kennedy's retirement sets in motion the biggest change on the century. half a >> almost without exception, if it was a critical, ideological, hot button issue, it was up to him. >> reporter: the trump travel ban being voted on this week, here he sided with the court's conservatives, to even same-sex and abortion, where he sidedco with thet's liberals. trump said he won't ask they would n how vote. >> people say, you don't do that d you shouldn that, but i'm putting conservative people on. >> reporter: when he was asked whether he'll ask the court to overturn roe -- >> that will happen immediately because i'm putting pro-lifee justices on court. >> joining me is maria cantwell, and lindsey graham of south carolina. we'll begin now with senator i cantwell o washington state. welcome back to "meet the press". >> good morning. >> let me start with the basic question

pelosi: first of all, we will not tell you about anything that undermines intelligence. i know one of the other members might like to speak. do you want to speak to that? own wordsr's putin's yesterday, when he said "yes i did, guess i did." he said it yesterday twice to reaffirm he had a preference for donald trump. our intelligence agency, without any conflict, which the senate also believed. again, you have isolated and alienation from donald trump. they are on an island and believe there was no preference but that defies the evidence. and because they believe that, they are doing nothing at inviting a future attack, because they are saying "we will do nothing, we don't leave our intelligence." that is what is wrong with them perpetuating that myth. >> whoever has read the 29-page indictment that was brought forward of the 12 russians, everyone here -- president members, past members, inbreeding net, we understand that it is an absolute masterpiece of sources and methods. methods, that our intelligence agency was able to go so deep, so far, so broadly, that they could

nancy pelosi is just using politics as usual to make a position, which just isn't true. you heard the president say that he was wrong. he moved on. he also said -- >> neil: he didn't say he was wrong as much as he said he misspoke. >> that's what i mean. he misspoke. >> neil: make it's black helicopter crowd narrative that maybe -- this is nancy pelosi saying this and other democrats saying this, vladimir putin has something on him. otherwise he would have opinion more forceful but he was president. what do you think of that? >> look, we don't know what all the president said in the two-hour meeting. what he did talk about, it was concerns. he also believes that we have to deal and be able to talk with russia. we have to live with them. they're part of the global family. the president is a business guy. he's something that uses his business sense to make decisions. i see so much of it because i was a business guy for 28 years. first you have to use business sense than political sense. that's the difference. get so tired of the political talking points. i do believe -- th

wengsdy, is it time for nancy pelosi to step aside? >> i wouldn't say it's time for her to step aside. what we all know is that the mid terms weigh heavy on whether or not she does step aside. if the democrats are able to take over the house and her spot is basically solidif solidified. 2017, nancy pelosi was able to raise $50 million. that's almost unheard of. so, right now what she is leading with is she is able to garager her dollars for her party. and, again, if people are criticizing her. this is nothing new. mitch mcconnell he has been there he is the longest serving. no one is telling him to step aside. i don't know whether this is sexism or what it is. she has done her job and we'll see where it goes with the mid terms. ed: cailee, are the republicans sexists? >> sexism? that is a far cry. when you have a dozen members of your own party actively opposing you. 29% approval rating. perhaps that is a problem and perhaps that's the reason you are being asked to step aside. nancy pelosi liked to list off all the things she was legis

pelosi: good morning. this week the president announced his supreme court nominee, who will seek to reverse generations of progress for americans' health care and for roe v. wade. judge kavanaugh's comments make abun danltly clear -- abundantly clear that he will expansively rule against women's reproductive rights and freedoms and mto

and all of the democrats can do is a, this is crumbs, as miss pelosi said and want to try to obstruct and distract. they have trump derangement syndrome, that i want to roll all tax cuts back, they said they would do that i think this is what is at stake, stronger communities, safe communities, stronger military and a booming economy. and so i think that american people are not ready to roll anything like that back. liz: you know, listen, across the board president has been criticize forward what he said in helsinki he is really getting hit hard. many say rightfully so for that it was asur surreal moment relitigating that. but, getting back to your point, democrats like nancy pelosi call tax cut a deficit exploding g.o.p. tax scam for the rich. democrats saying this about deficit. look at this, federal income tax revenue up 9% in first half of the year, revenues coming in cbo raising forecast to 3.3% up from 2% before tax cut pass, buzz this argument fly? >> you know, this is -- we're going to grow our way out of this problem we have as far as that deficit. this is what we have starte

i went to play a soundbite of nancy pelosi on a win from the 28-year-old socialist in new york, take a listen. >> in one district, let's not get carried away. inside or outside the caucus. todd: what do you think? is this a seachange in the democratic party? >> starting to, look no further than the candidates they put up for election, socialist democrats, that is how they identify themselves, democrats have a crisis of identity and the crisis of policy. they are lurching way to the left, not into with where america is. we are right of center nation, we are just right and i think democrats are going to suffer with their leadership, people overstayed their welcome like nancy pelosi and schumer. as a republican i hope they don't because it will help us in november but for the good of the nation democrats need to come home to where they were to the rise of socialism. >> speaking like a republican. we have an identity crisis. let's not forget a lot of republicans are walking away, we have tea partiers, all kinds of different republicans. i celebrate the young woman from the bronx, it is n

do you want nancy pelosi or do you want to go farther to the left. maybe that would be a motivating factor and put jim jordan into a leadership position. lou: what do you think his pros prospects are? >> not great right now. i suspect there will be a fight. if they had this locked up they would have called a snap election and mcconsider thy or scalise would be speaker. lou: thaichthank you both very h >>> text former wonder boy mark zucker berg in a category of himself after earnings reports. we'll tell you what it's all about here next. my father passed this truck down to me, that's the same thing i want to do with you. it's an emotional thing to watch your child grow up and especially get behind the wheel. i want to keep you know, stacking up the memories and the miles and the years. he's gonna get mine -but i'm gonna get a new one. -oh yeah when it's time for your old chevy truck to become their new chevy truck, there's truck month. get 18% of msrp cash back on all silverado 1500 crew cab lt pickups when you finance with gm financial. that's $9,00

>> i think it was good for minority leader pelosi to make those comments. we do feel, however there needs to be more said. we have not heart from senator shumann. we also plan, joy, to engage to gop leadership, speaker speaker paul ryan, calling for her to apologize and many republicans who also calling for her to be senntured and when she's speaking to truth, taking something that she said out of context and moving away from what this was about. so we need to ask ourselves, with err going to be civil about the children being separated from their parents. >> and there's been a companion online open letter to nancy pelosi that's now also out there that's been signed by about 4500 people. it says when you attack a black woman for speaking about injustice and call for civility in the face of blatant racisrac you invoke white supremacist power. we hope you can learn tr this and that in the future, you stand shoulder to shoulder with her as we work together to fix what is so clearly broken in this country. it is wrapped in the roots of our story and it's toup us
