pelosi has 80 mrs. purse of the votes in each re-election, 1987 she barely beat hari britt but since then she wins huge. this will bring her vote total down to the high 70s but there are lot of people who are angry with her in her own district. anymore questions? >> sign some books. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. [applause] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversation] >> you're watching book which of on c-span2. television for serious readers. this past week nancy pelosi was elected again to the speaker over the house. she previously served as speaker from 2007 to 2011. in 2008, speaker pelosi appeared on c-span's q & a program to talk about her book "know your power."

pelosi: as mr. jeffries, are extinguished chairman said, we will follow our mandate for the people, and i thank you for exceptnd nomination, and those kind remarks on behalf of the entire house democratic caucus who made all of those victories possible. [applause] mrs. pelosi: some of them in a bipartisan way. and power our mandate for the people, to lower health care costs and prescription drug prices, and protect people with pre-existing medical conditions. [applause] mrs. pelosi: to increase paychecks by rebuilding america with green and modern infrastructure from sea to shining sea. we look forward to working with the president on that. to pass hr one, to restore integrity to government so people can have confidence that will work for the people, not that special interest. hr1. [applause] mrs. pelosi: this house will take overdue legislation that has bipartisan support, bipartisan support, in the congress and across the country. we will make our communities safer and keep our sacred promise to t

so nancy pelosi has it. now, the fact that she has secured the speakership, we enter a new phase of the government shut down. some say there's a bit more hope here now that nancy pelosi has secured her left flank. fended off the left flank of the far left wing of the democratic party who was threatening to vote against her if she included any border wall funding in any of the bills. so that is taken care of. that said, now that she's won the prize, there's been no change in pelosi's position. she's agreed to take up the two spending bills, which you just mentioned later this afternoon. broken down in two parts. one of the spending bills would fund six government agencies. the other would fund the department of homeland security but would include any funding for the border wall. that's a nonstarter on the senate side. mitch mcconnell has said that he will take up no bills in the senate that cannot garner 60 votes in the senate and cannot garner a presidential signature. that doesn't cross the bar. doesn't cro

nancy pelosi said it yesterday. the wall street journal, you call that infrastructure, this is from their op-ed this morning. take a gander that senate democrats floated last month. at one trillion, it is a blueprint of trump proportions. of the nextinking hoover dam, it is like the barack obama-nancy pelosi stimulus of 2009. $40 billion in direct federal funding to direct all of america to affordable high-speed internet. 3 billion dollars for charging and refueling stations to a common a collector other green vehicles. unspecified funds for initiatives to preserve and expand affordable housing. a tax credit for up to one dollar per gallon for clean fuel. a tax credit of 2.3 cents per kilowatt hour of clean electricity production. we want to hear from you. do you agree with that kind of infrastructure package? is this the kind of proposal that you want to see the president and democrats come together on? saysall street journal that these provisions are bureaucratic friction -- they call it bureaucratic friction that

the tightness of leader pelosi, soon to be speaker pelosi and senator schumer is important. i'm struck by one thing. nancy pelosi came to the congress 23 years ago. 102 women serving. she has presided over a dramatic change. again, when she was scripting this out after the mid-terms, the shut down was not at the top of the list. now she is contending with this and we do not know how this is going to end. probably not well for either side. >> as we are talking about that, we should say the roll call vote has just begun for house speaker. we will monitor that and see how it goes. it's a manual vote so it takes a little bit longer than a lot of votes tend to be in modern times on the house floor. you make a really important point. everybody who took over the house, 40 seats in all ran on very specific agenda items and they are going to have to start with a trump agenda item, which is figuring out how to reopen the government or at least part of it when he is demanding money for his border wall. >> this is not the way democrats wanted to start off the new house majority with a g

speaker pelosi will be speaking. she has just announceed this press conference that's going to be in a few minutes. we're going to monitor to see if she makes any additional news on the shutdown. we reported the vote plan based on what we got from the new speaker's office tonight. let's get to it. a former florida congressman and byron dorgen who served before going to the senate. we're going to monitor pelosi in the corner. let me start with you now former congressman c cover bellow. did donald trump help reduce the number of republicans in congress? >> no question. when donald trump came on the national stage, there were i think 247 republicans at the time. john boehner just helped elect the largest republican majority since the great depression. today republicans are down to 199. no question that the trump effect has been bad for house republicans. >> the big question -- >> is that something you think donald trump deep down knows and is basically denying or is it something we doesn't even get as we look at this ne

no, no, said speaker pelosi. they would not. so here we are, mr. president, day 24 because the speaker of the house has decided that enforcing our own laws is now immoral. because she's decided it's better to prolong this partial shutdown that invest more than one dollar and something that both parties agreed was a good idea until about five minutes ago. funding that obama administrationra border expert continue to argue is a good idea, and essential idea. right here in the senate i'm sorry to say my democratic colleagues think to have just fall in line. based on their actions my colleagues across the aisle seem to agree. better for federal workers to keep going without pay than to invest one, 1000s of us federal spending in same kind of border security that they themselves voted repeatedly to fund it just the past two years. i had a hard time believing that every last one of my democratic colleagues really stands with speaker pelosi on this. hard to believe. hard to believe senate democrats now great their own recent votes on border security were

for speaker of the house. >> pelosi. >> she was the only one who voted for nancy pelosi who got any kind of reaction from republicans. she is in complete control of those republicans and commanding their attention and in swatting away their insults. moments later at her swearing in speaker pelosi in her acceptance speech of the speakership announced her legislative strategy for the shutdown. >> we will debate in advance good ideas no matter where they come from, and in that spirit democrats will be offering the senate republican appropriations legislation to reopen government later today. >> joining our discussion now joy reid, msnbc national correspondent and the host of "am joy" weekends on msnbc. joy will have a special town hall event at this very hour tomorrow night with nancy pelosi right here on msnbc at 10:00 p.m. and we're also joined by michelle goldberg. and joy reid, a very impressive day one for nancy pelosi. and what may be -- what may very well be basically a day one of the worst year of donald trump's life. >> you know, it's interesting, lawrence, and you know this b

nancy pelosi:"it's not the law. everything indicates that a president can be indicted after he is no longer president of the united states."savannah guthrie:"what about a sitting president?" rep. nancy pelosi:"well, the sitting president when he's no longer president of the united states."savannah guthrie:"a president who is in office, could robert mueller come back and say i am seeking an indictment?"rep. nancy pelosi: "i think that's an open discussion. i think that is an open discussion in terms of the law."that wasn't her only jab.pelosi also not denying telling members of her caucus that the wall is a quote 'manhood issue' for trump.rep. nancy pelosi:"i wish that my members had not repeated that outside the room, but there's no justification for this wall. it is not the way to protect our border."c-n-n is told the white house has formally invited congressional leaders back for further talks friday.but expectations for a quick fix remain low...after talks went nowhere this week. kellyanne conway:"nancy pelosi ca

nancy pelosi has just responded. you're about to hear more. "the lead" with jake tapper starts now. >>> the president of the united states using the u.s. military to get revenge on the speaker of the house. the lead starts right now. >>> nancy pelosi was headed to a war zone but he's going to cancel her military aircraft. >>> rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer, causing a collective double take, admitting there may very well have been cooperation between some people on the trump campaign with russia. so, whatever happened to no collusion? >>> plus the polls are phony and rigged. it turns out that

a former house member to watch pelosi be sworn in. he said he fired mattis and this set off a reaction on twitter from newt gingrich defending mattis, michael steele. >> even republicans who are supportive of the president generally really felt reassured that general mattis was at the pentagon, was keeping american foreign policy safe. was reassuring our allies. absent that reassurance, i think you'll see a lot more questions about foreign policy. >> we reach a point where republican senators start speaking out because they've lost bob corker. they've lost, you know, flake. a number of the more independent senators. lamar alexander. but what are you going to hear from republican senators taking on this president? >> i think on narrow foreign policy issues, republican senators have been quite willing already to make it clear when they have disagreements with this president on russia sanctions in the middle east, yemen. they've been willing to not just say but vote contrary to the president's position. at the same time, they know the be

how does nancy pelosi manage this? >> that's the tight rope that nancy pelosi has to walk. president trump and his administration are giving house democrats a lot to work with when it comes to oversight authority they will have now. the issue for pelosi as she understands obviously her new majority comes largely from voters who wanted democrats to serve as some sort of check on this white house and yet also very aware of not overplaying that hand, of being sober and straight forward and following the facts and not appearing to be politically motivated. when it come to answering criminal investigations, the mueller probe, charges from democrat, he dismisses everything as being political. it's always a political response to these investigations. and it won't be any different with the new investigations that the house democrats bring and he will be able to say look, they're the democrats, this is all politics. he might have an easier case because they all have ds after there names than what he's trying to do in terms of broad brushing everything mueller and the southern distri

nancy pelosi knew this bill would go nowhere. we knew from in that meeting we could not come to any conclusion our get a compromise based upon that she had to have a speaker vote. now we have waited, the government has had to be shut down for this. i hope they'll be serious in this meeting, much different than the last meeting. i wish we could have stayed here this weekend and solved it. maybe if you didn't want to keep everybody here, but we could have stayed here and solved this problem. it would not take a long time. we know where the differences lie. we know how to find compromise. we have done it many times before. that's why the president's having another meeting. [inaudible] mr. mccarthy: did she support the language? that was the wrong language? did she talk to her new member about it? she is the speaker of the house. she is also the head of the democratic party. she has a new freshman incoming individual that use that is type of language that has a determination of what she's going to do with no facts or basis. i think t

speaker pelosi. speaker pelosi: thank you very much, steve. have any questions? i want to address something, a couple things we heard here. we heard that many of our public employees, federal public employees are veterans. our veterans are very adversely affected by this. if we want to support our veterans, we will not hurt their credit rating. and that's what missing a mortgage, a rental payment, a car payment and the rest does to everyone's credit rating. as far as credit ratings are concerned, the credit rating of the united states of america will be affected if this goes on, as the president says he's willing to let it go for months or years. how irresponsible in that regard. if you're going to negotiate, it's really important to stipulate to a set of facts and what the president said last night was not factual. it was not factual. we all want to evaluate what the threat is at the border. all are committed to strong border security. we have suggested ways to do that, whether it's technology, it's scanning of cars, other technology, whether it's roads and infr

they view nancy pelosi as the establishment person. one person that was very excited about nancy pelosi's speakership, and she's an easy target if you will as donald trump was pointing out on twitter and elsewhere and i've been on 100 calls, there is a common trend where many young students on the left, two things they don't want to see a politician, they are tired of business as usual establishment additional and people being, the past generation of people in power and i had to break to you but that is democrat leadership. joe biden, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, hillary clinton and nancy pelosi are full of leaders from the past. start them with unaccompanied way to choose from. >> we haven't talked about it o'rourke in two days. >> will they motivate the younger base? will people get excited about a 75-year-old man who was vice president? thank you for your time, appreciate it. the new york times ripped by his former editor for what she calls the paper's and i trump bias? accuracy in media executive director breaks down examples

nancy pelosi is a deal maker. even they think now that pelosi is speaker they have a better opportunity to make a deal. liz: jeff flock is monitoring the impact of the partial government mustdown. >> some people say it's a big dale, others say not so much. hundreds of thousands of federal workers not being paid across the country. 450,000 are working unpaid. at least for now. that includes 41,000 atf and border and derks a agents, border patrol agents and 35,000 irs staff. they will be paid because they are being forced to work and they will eventually get the money. those on furlough, no guarantee they will be paid. the senate will pass a bill saying they should be paid. but the congress would have to pass the bill and the president who have to sign it. and 80% of the national park service. because of the shutdowns at the agricultural department, no usda loans for farmers. no small business administration loans. fha and va loans stopped. federal national parks closed, the smithsonian shut down. the zoo. the marri

speaker pelosi. ms. pelosi: thank you very much, mr. leader. and thank you for your leadership in bringing us to this important resolution now. where shortly, the senate will send over to the house a paper, i came over to see the original paper, and we'll get it probably in a half an hour. two resolutions. one to open up government for all of the agencies of government, and one to proceed to conference on the homeland security bill. we're pleased that we reached an agreement to reopen government now. so that we can have a discussion on how to secure our borders. it is very clear that we all understand the importance of securing our borders and we have now. some very good ideas on how to do that, and that will be part of the discussion as we go forward. house democrats look forward to working in a bipartisan, bicameral way to pass all of the bills to open government, as we proceed into the conference discussion. now, i'm an appropriator, and i was forged in that culture and i know that left to their own devices, the appropriators bicamerally and

what happened here and how has nancy pelosi taken control of this ongoing negotiation? >> reporter: the state of the union we know is one tradition that the president actually likes to observe from the beginning of his presidency, the two formal addresses to congress that he's given have provided him with the sort of rare moment of bipartisan praise, some acknowledgement that he does have the ability to be presidential. so for that opportunity to be taken away from him at a time when he wants to press the advantage what he seesoped that pelosi was indeed bluffing. that is why yesterday we saw the president call her bluff. they had believed that the state of the union all along had not formally been called off, that she was simply suggesting that he delay it in order to perhaps put some pressure on him. that is why he then stripped her use of government planes to fly. but at the end of the day pelosi does have the advantage in that she controls the house. she's showing no signs of bending and that is why we know the president again is considering taking executive action

>> i am defending nancy pelosi. i want to go on the record, i am defending nancy pelosi. i think what she did was exactly the right thing. she's raised five children and she knows how to deal with a toddler. >> okay. >> she has never seen anything like this. >> he is trying to separate his, you know, nancy and chuck as he calls them. he is doing so by using a specific word. he doesn't use words randomly. he looks like he does, he never is. here he is? right. >> i think that chuck schumer sadly is dominated by the radical left and he's dominated by nancy pelosi, very strongly dominated. he can't move. he's a puppet, he's a puppet for nancy pelosi, if you can believe that. >> puppet, dominated, dominated, joan, not a random word. >> not a random word. he is projecting wildly. he is trying to emasculate chuck schumer. chuck schumer is man enough to know he needs to stand by nancy pelosi. she knows what she is doing. there is no daylight between schumer and pelosi. they are doing this correctly. but the president is showing us his own sexual insecurities by saying something l

speaker pelosi should be embarrassed. she claims that she cares about furloughed government workers but she tried to postpone shutdown negotiations so she can takee her government-funded international trip. she pretends that her fellow democrats are ready to open the government immediately, but allowed dozens of her colleagues to take that luxurious, lobbyist-paid, extravagant tropical vacation to puerto rico. those are the ones with lobbyists, corporate executives. guess what? you can see right there, senator bobb menendez of new jersey next to the woman in the bikini. does that look like a man that's worried about furloughed employees of the government? all-expense-paid d vacation? well that's only 10 days into the new congress. vacation, paidon for, 10 days. nice gig if you can get it. only a dollar for the wall and the wall is immoral. nancy pelosi pretends that a partial shutdown is a major crisis. somehow made ample time, where was she over the christmas holiday? vacationing in hawaii. the president urged to come to

speaker pelosi. pelosi: i see shannon at work in california. it is hard to go to a church of any denomination without us wearing orange and ringing our bell, and under her leadership, making sure everybody knows the crescendo is growing on this and i acknowledge congressman deutsch, and from florida, congresswoman powell and dwight from pennsylvania and congresswoman dean from pennsylvania. the parents i have met said, we belong to a club nobody should belong to. we don't want any more members in that club. we know that this legislation can save lives. floor of walked to the the house to drop the bill in going to witham yield to my colleague, congressman mike thompson. he will put the bill in the hopper.

you look at what nancy pelosi is doing. when we saw the manifest of who she was taking with her, it was democrats. i have never heard of a trip like that before. i was on speaker ryan's first trip to the middle east. it was a bipartisan delegation. she loaded this up with a partisan group and -- >> you think that's why the president decided to tell the u.s. military no u.s. military aircraft? >> i think certainly that should be looked at. my understanding -- most members understand that if the speaker is pulling out a plane and going to afghanistan, it should be bipartisan. she should be working to reopen the government and end this bypass. >> was it a blunder on the part of the president which was made public a half hour before the delegation was supposed to head over to capitol hill for the flight to brussels and then continuing on to afghanistan, was it a mistake for the president to tell the world that these -- the leaders -- the democratic leaders of the house of representatives, including the speaker of the house, sec

nancy delesandro pelosi. the once and future speaker of the house of representatives. >> two words that capture the new dynamic in washington. madam speaker. after years of setbacks and disappointments, nancy pelosi is speaker of the house once again. she lost the speaker's gavel eight years ago in the tea party wave and beat back a leadership challenge that year. she faced another one in 2016 and another one this year, and she, of course, has been a target of gop ads. but pelosi survived it all and successfully reclaimed her spot as the first and only female house speaker. how significant is that achievement? let's take a look. she's very much in elite company as one of the few speakers to actually regain the gavel after losing it. hasn't happened since sam rayburn did it over 50 years ago. in terms of the diversity in the house. women in the house particularly, 1987 when she first joined congress, just 24 women. now 102. you can see much of the gains are from democrats. 89 democratic women in the house at t

one top official tells me, look, ask nancy pelosi. they're really putting the onus, at least at this point, on democrats to come to the table with a potential compromise, which i know kasie will delve more deeply into. the white house says we're very clear on what we want, funding for the border wall specifically. and so far these proposals don't use that language. andrea, having said that, the white house is not committing to vetoing specific legislation. that's yet another sign that they are looking for trying to find a way out of this. president trump, for his part, tweeting earlier today a new slogan, tweeting "build a wall and crime will fall." this is the new theme for two years until the wall is finished under construction now of the republican party, use it and pray. so he is essentially trying to turn up the heat on democrats with that rhetorical flourish. the question is, andrea, how and when will this all come to an end. there's still not a clear end in sight. of course the political pressure is mounting on all sides, parti

what pelosi's play? she's tough. she doesn't shy away from stuff, but does she let them be attack dogs on the trump administration and be a moderating force? how does she navigate that? >> i think they work together. that's how it goes. people automatically assume that nancy pelosi is someone who is going to go out there, and she's going to be an attack dog or a moderating force and somewhere in the middle. nancy pelosi is someone who is extremely intelligent who would sit down with her chairman and say look, here are the challenges that we're facing. here are the opportunities. you tell me, because you are the experts. she's often said that many times to chairman and others. you are tex perts. you tell me what places we should be looking into this administration. where are the opportunities? that's how you work, and that's why you have a good relationship with the very powerful chairman who have a lot of subpoena power and are going to have a lot of new members on their committees and eager to go out and go after th

pelosi but she still got the support of 220, more than enough to win. >> speaker elect nancy pelosi of the state of california. the top republican go getter was congressman kevin mccarthy. he will leave the house minority. he represents a district in california's central valley. now, both of the most powerful people in the house are from california. as speaker, pelosi sworn in the new members of congress. in a surprise move president trump held a press conference. >> i want to start out by congratulating nancy pelosi on being elected speaker of the house. it is very, very great achievement. and hopefully we will work together and get lots of things done. >> valley is pelosi the first and second woman to be elected speaker of the house, she is also the second person ever to be elected speaker then lose the position and be elected speaker again. the last person was sam rayburn in 1955. >>> past 8:00 back there, live look at the house they are still working. >> still debating. earlier today they passed a package of rule changes that are really important. we will have more on those spec

we expect that to be nancy pelosi. then nancy pelosi will swear in a new class. as we mentioned it is a very diverse, a historic number of women, including the first native american women and the first muslim woman ever elected to the house of representatives. it is a huge day on capitol hill, and then nancy pelosi will turn to re-open the government. they will try to end that government shutdown. they will put a bill on the floor that would include six spending bills that the senator already passed, including a continuing resolution to keep the department of homeland security open through the beginning of february. of course, that isn't expected to go anywhere in the senate. that's because we are sill operating under a divided government. mitch mckoj said he will not bring a bill to the floor that the president won't sign. that bill the house will pass today doesn't have enough border security money in it, so mcconnell won't bring it to the floor. that's just what we can see on the house of representatives floor oh day. we will also be preparing for investigatio

speaker pelosi. ms. pelosi: thank you very much, mr. leader. and thank you for your leadership in bringing us to this important resolution now. where shortly the senate will send over to the house a paper, i came over to see the original paper, and we'll get it probably in a half an hour. two resolutions. one to open up government for all of the agencies of government, and one to proceed to conference on the homeland security bill. we're pleased that we reached an agreement to reopen government now so that we can have a discussion on how to secure our borders. it is very clear that we all understand the importance of securing our borders and we have some very good ideas on how to do that. and that will be part of the discussion as we go forward. house democrats look forward to working in a bipartisan, bicameral way to pass all of the bills to open government, as we proceed into the conference discussion. now, i'm an appropriator and i was forged in that culture and i know that left to their own devices, the appropriators bicamerally and biparti

speaker pelosi. speaker pelosi: thank you very much, steve. have any questions? before we do, i want to address something, a couple things we heard here. we heard that many of our public employees, federal public employees are veterans. our veterans are very adversely affected by this. if we want to support our veterans, we will not hurt their credit rating. and that's what missing a mortgage, a rental payment, a car payment and the rest does to everyone's credit rating. as far as credit ratings are concerned, the credit rating of the united states of america will be affected if this goes on, as the president says he's willing to let it go for months or years. how irresponsible in that regard. if you're going to negotiate, it's really important to stipulate to a set of facts and what the president said last night was not factual. it was not factual. we all want to evaluate what the threat is at the border. we all are committed to strong border security. we have suggested ways to do that, whether it's technology, it's scanning of cars, other technology, whether it

and nancy pelosi today on this issue of indicting. she says it could be possible to indict president trump. is she right? (ding) hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?! (laughing) what?? what?! what?!

speaker pelosi. ms. pelosi: thank you very much, mr. leader. and thank you for your leadership in bringing us to this important resolution now. where shortly the senate will send over to the house a paper, i came over to see the original paper, and we'll get it probably in a half an hour. two resolutions. one to open up government for all of the agencies of government, and one to proceed to conference on the homeland security bill. we're pleased that we reached an agreement to reopen government now. so that we can have a discussion on how to secure our borders. it is very clear that we all understand the importance of securing our borders and we have some very good ideas on how to do that. and that will be part of the discussion as we go forward. house democrats look forward to working in a bipartisan, bicameral way to pass all of the bills to open government, as we proceed into the conference discussion. now, i'm an appropriator, and i was forged in that culture and i know that left to their own devices, the appropriators bicamerally and bipar

also yesterday, speaker pelosi said walls are immoral. she said they are expensive and ineffective about which white house press secretary sarah sanders this morning said this. >> i wonder if she's going to go on a crusade and take down all the fences and walls across this country. i certainly hope not. i'm sure the people that have them around their homes, the institutions that have them whether it's the vatican or anywhere else are not going to be really happy with the fact that nancy pelosi is calling their walls on their security immoral. it's never been immoral to protect people. >> while the white house hunkered down for the latest rounds of talks, vice president mike pence has a message for democrats. >> the american people know that walls work and we heard from border agents today in the oval office that in areas and sectors where they were assigned to deal with illegal immigration, the flow of narcotics, human trafficking, all the threats to our communities that we face of our border that once they build a wall, you saw illegal i

the democrats are nominating people against nancy pelosi. >> nancy pelosi has a tough job on her hands. not only is she coming into the speakership a little bit weakened by all these democrats who are voting against her -- although some, notably, are breaking their campaign pledges do not vote for her and voting for her today -- she has a progressive wing to her left that is increasingly noisy and increasingly aggressive. she also has these democrats in moderate districts, some of whom did not vote for her. these are people that are not going to be on board with the impeachment agenda at all of the other kind of tricks that the progressives have planned. >> harris: i wrote down what you said because i liked the way you put it -- increasingly noisy on the left. today some of that noise, david, is coming from members of your own party. a democrat in new york who voted for the former nominee, stacey abrams, on the house floor. i don't know if they have enough votes to block nancy pelosi, but ouch! >> there are a number of people who come in the democratic party, have said for a long creat

officials claim the decision to cancel nancy pelosi's trip was not irresponsible to nancy pelosi's letter. rob: interesting stuff, made for such fantastic -- jillian: absolutely. >> 3:00 was wild. jillian: we will have more on this later, stay tuned. lawmakers on both sides outraged by the tug-of-war between donald trump and nancy pelosi. rob: democrats have not been playing by the rules since the president was elected. >> this is the redline right now, you cannot lose this fight. i heard someone earlier at the network say maybe the president should take the high ground. the high ground? are you serious? you think there's high ground left in washington dc? this is a cesspool full of swamp rats and villains. dc have no high ground left. it doesn't matter how many people are killed by illegal immigrants was all they care about is beating donald trump and we need to recognize that fight right now and start rabbit punching below the belt. the time for robert's rules of order ended on inauguration day with donald trump and thank god he gets that and understands -- i am with you. we are on the

nancy pelosi, president trump going toe to toe. remember way back in december, just three week ago, when the president said this? >> i am proud to shut down the government for border security, chuck. i will take the mantle. i will be the one to shut it down. i'm not going to blame you for it. >> so much for proud. so much for blaming the democrats. now it's all veto threats for this president with day 14 of the shutdown just hours away. so much for not blaming the democrats i should say. but as of today it's a whole new world. a world where president trump doesn't control congress. a world where he can't rely on his own party to push through his agenda. a world where he can't bully congress into giving him exactly what he wants because when nancy pelosi retook the gavel today, when democrats took control of the house, they ushered in the most diverse congress in history. the pictures, these right here, tell the story. look at that. the old guard, mostly men in dark suits, on one side. and on the other side diversity on display. peo
