pelosi: yes. the affordable care act, david, this is a pillar, social security, medicare, medicaid, the affordable care act, not only 20 million more people having access to health care which we're very proud of, but everybody in our country getting better benefits, whether it's no pre-existing condition limitation on access or ending caps, annual caps, lifetime caps, being a woman no longer a pre-existing medical condition. i can tell you that as a mother of five, in six years almost to the day, that's a -- i thought it was a sign of strength, they considered it a pre-existing medical condition. your kids up until 25 years old can be -- it wasn't just about who was getting medicare it was increasing benefits for other people. now our goal is to make sure that all americans have access to quality, affordable health care. there are many proposals that you're probably going to ask me bout right now on the table. what do they mean in terms of quality of care for the individual, cost to the individual

pelosi: i'll come back to you. reporter: when you made the comment about impeachment, were you getting worried that some of the members of your own caucus and some of the presidential candidates were getting farther ahead of where really most of you were? ms. pelosi: no, i didn't. i made the comment i made because i make it every week. i've made it july, august, september -- i've made it all through the campaign. i made it in our transition. and i've made it every week. it didn't seem to catch on until i had a gimmick. he's not worth it. so many of you have said to me, why are you saying this now? because i've said it almost every day. but if i frame it that way it gets more attention. i wasn't worried about anything. a longtime member of the ethics committee, and we just followed the facts, those rules of the house and the law. no hearsay, no public, no subjective attitudes, all objective. rules of the house, law of the land, the facts of the case. and the facts of the case will argue -- will present a different c

speaker pelosi: thank you for a long commitment to a strong relationship. support for israel and america is bipartisan and bicameral. relentlessly bipartisan. we are all here connected for good, united in our shared myths prosperity and progress in the middle east, and america, and around the world. i understand that so many young people here for the first time, set us recognize the leadership of our nation, the relationship of many students and young people that are here today. i met some earlier from california. i want to acknowledge the delegation from our state of california. let me also acknowledge the from maryland, being from maryland. greatally, i take pride in the special place that israel has always had in my heart. i am from baltimore, maryland. ok, that is good. some of you have heard me tell the story of mine falter, when he was a congressman -- my father, when he was a congressman from baltimore, and he was a dedicated person, but he did not think the administration was doing enough, or

pelosi pelosi she did not -- ms. pelosi: she did not. it's up to her to explain. i do not believe she understood the full weight of the words. when you're a congressman you are an advocate out there, who i was. i appreciate all the enthusiasm. i told you that before. that was me pushing a stroller and carrying those signs. i understand how advocates come in with their enthusiasms. but when you cross that threshold in the congress, your words weigh much more than when you're shouting at somebody outside. and i feel confident that her words were not based on any anti-semitic attitude. but that she didn't have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people where these words have a history and a cultural impact that might have been unknown to her. reporter: madam speaker, to that end -- ms. pelosi: did i call on him? [laughter] does that count? go ahead. go ahead. reporter: there was concern about motions to recommit. ms. pelosi: yes. reporter: how important h.r. 1 is to your side. if you didn't address this right away, that that could be the motion to recommi

she took a chance to take a swipe at pelosi because pelosi is quite critical of the president in that interview as well. she said most americans agree with pelosi, so not surprisingly defiance from sarah sanders, she has been and of course we're awaiting that any day now. >> she has left herself and out and let's just also say that the democrats took back the house in 201. >> and he didn't win the majority of votes in 2016. >> bring me back to the press debit that is being set, and if they're not willing to go down this path now, they will use the same attacks and call it presidential harassment. that attack is there, it will already be used. there is a number of investigations going on in congre congress. is it that much worse. >> they laid out the case for why there is a principaled need. but the political case against it -- >> you commit a crime in office, shouldn't that be enough? >> sure, but we're in a country right now that is so polarized that it is almost impossible to pull a consensus to do this highly political act. and one of the best things for president trump right now i

listen to john cornyn talking about pelosi. he's saying she doesn't have her caucus under control. >> miss pelosi is pretty masterful at trying to hide the fact that there's an avalanche of support on the left for impeaching president trump. that's what all these investigations and the harassment of the president seem, to the subpoenas and witnesses being called, reinvestigating everything that's been investigated the last two years, specifically in regard to the russia collusion for which there's no evidence. i think she's trying to create an impression that she has it all under control, and i'm confident she does not. >> phil, will the white house's talking points change after this? >> well, katy, i can tell you that "washington post" interview circulated widely yesterday afternoon in the white house, and they were quite pleased to see speaker pelosi's comments. and remember back to the stand-off that trump had with pelosi and with senator schumer during the 35-day government shutdown. he was regularly attacking schumer. he w

pelosi: that would be 30 years. sen. markey: whether it is in the halls of congress or -- we will not stop running until net neutrality is restored. today we take another important step in that fight, a fight to save the internet as we know it. a fight for innovation, entrepreneurialism, for the american economy, a fight for free speech, the cornerstone of our democracy. the fight for net neutrality. it is a fight we can win because another way of saying net neutrality is non-discrimination against the smallest companies, against the smallest voices within our society. we are standing and fighting for them here today, and we will not stop until we win. last year in a historic thertisan vote of 52-47 in senate, we sent a message to president trump about what a free and open internet means, free of corporate control, open to all who want to communicate, engage and innovate. this bill does what the american people want. it returns us to the rules that ensures that they are not subject to higher prices or slower internet spe

to deny pelosi the speakership... are now voting in surprise ice amendments to gun safety legislation are being called the 'moderate wing' of the party."aoc: "i'm not here to bully or tell anyone else how to govern or what their communities feel." those comments coming despite reports ocasio cortez threatened to draw up a list of democrats siding with republicans.retribution -- coming in the form of being primary challenged by progressive democrats.aoc: "what i'm saying is that by separating yourselves out from the caucus you have made a list in the vote count of the caucus of democrats that is susceptible to republican manipulation, and frankly will be held accountable by progressive activists." centrist democrats speaking out against pressure to shift left.josh gottheimer / (d) new jersey: "democrats should not be in the business of primary-ing other democrats or producing nixonian type lists where we're deciding who the enemies are within the party. that makes no sense to me. we need to all get together and work to

conversations i had with pelosi. she didn't want to go down impeachment route unless there was bipartisan support. but putting out a message to many female freshmen, let's not talk about this. this becomes a big distraction. what are the two big distractions the white house is trying to beat up the democratic party on. impeachment and socialism. let's take impeachment off the table. we've had a rough couple of weeks. let's get focus back on -- what got them in the house in the mid-terms. focusing on health care and jobs. they are trying to pass them but getting overshadowed. >> there's dismissiveness there that you have to acknowledge. president trump as much as he likes to beat up on the media he likes to watch himself. he likes to watch people talking about him. he likes the idea of himself thinking of this orbit, the sun that everybody is rotating around. for nancy pelosi to say that guy in the white house i'm not worried. that has to drive the president nuts especially coming from this woman. >> no, no, impeach m

nancy pelosi won that fight. and i think she kind of from there bked off. >> but why shouldn't you say that? soon you're going to be outmarketting -- [laughter] >> well, you've written ath few, 's right. >> so what about speaker pelosi? do house democrats override this veto or try to? >> they don't have the votes. it's simple math. yo-t need trds in both houses and they're not even close. i do think this isr also a big story, the story of executive power. this was a story in the obaman presidency, the bush presidente. part of the reason why presidents have been able to make these power grabs is that congress has been a weakened and weakened branch. and the executive overreach is, in some ways, a product of legislative underreach, right? thathey have not been legislating on immigration, all these questions that have gotten to this point. so the fundamental problem, the brokenness of congress and a presidency that's going to use that power vacuum to suc it up is going to continue to exist. >> speaking of vacuum, do

and pelosis reali that. and it always, in the end, turns on the quality of evidenc and if you look at the evidence that is out i there, quite frankly have not seen the kind of clear evidence that there was something that trump did. there are all kinds of questions and mueller may come up with something. there's -- that's certainly ssible. but it's not out there. and i think that is the voice of speaker peli saying, this is the real world we live in right now. we haven't seen it. >> we've seen some evidence, through the mueer probeome out this week -- we saw a sentencing, another sentencing for paulanafort, the former trump campaign chairman. sentenced in d.c. feral court top of what happened the previous week in virginia. s's now going to prison for quitee time,bout seven years. we saw in paul manafort's sentencing a lot of crimes about lobbying, tax fraud, bank fraud. when the white house looks at that case, are they looking at paul manafort is someone they want to pardon, or is it politicallyricky at this

>> i think nancy pelosi is doing a phenomenal job. i like the idea but she is listening at times to the new democratic leadership. we embrace new and bold ideas, we had a party -- we appreciate diversity. this does not mean that will dictate which path she will take. yesterday, the president is not even worth impeachment but she does allow others to have a strong voice which is a great thing. jillian: you talk about what is going on with congresswoman omar, last week, not naming her specifically, a lot of people upset when talking about resolutions. >> they are upset about it but nancy pelosi new what she is doing, she's making both sides happy. instead of mentioning representative omar she made it an anti-hate resolution, made her pretty happy. jillian: that is the easy way out. sorry to interrupt but it seems like the easy way out. >> it was the proper way out. it made her party happy, she listened to both sides, she i have interviewed her 3 times, we need a politician like pelosi in dc as much as people hate to admit that. she is s

pelosi: i'll come back to you. reporter: when you made the comment about impeachment, were you getting worried that some of the members of your own caucus and some of the presidential candidates were getting farther ahead of where really most of you were? ms. pelosi: no, i didn't. i made the comment i made because i make it every week. i've made it july, august, september -- i've made it all through the campaign. i made it in our transition and i've made it every week. it didn't seem to catch on until i had a gimmick. he's not worth it. so many of you have said to me, why are you saying this now? because i've said it almost every day. but if i frame it that way it gets more attention. i wasn't worried about anything. a longtime member of the ethics committee, and we just followed the facts, those rules of the house and the law. no hearsay, no public, no subjective attitudes, all objective. rules of the house, law of the land, the facts of the case. and the facts of the case will argue -- will present a different ch

he voted to advance impeachment and opposed pelosi's bid for speaker. good to see you, sir. >> good to be back. >> speaker pelosi seemed to take impeachment off the table. is that what you heard? if not, what did you hear? >> i'm not going to speak for the speaker. i'll tell you what my position is congress does two things. we vote on things and before we do that, we should be debating them. i do think that there's ample evidence out there that we should be debating impeachment. that's why voted with -- >> what would that look like? >> that means holding hearings. asking questions. what's going on with these hotels in russia, the security clearances in the white house. however, i will say that we shouldn't have a vote until later, until the mueller report comes out. >> what's the difference between having it as an impeachment hearing and an oversight hearing. in some ways you're having impeachment hearings without calling them impeachment. is that fair? >> it's fair comment but i think it's fair to sigh thereay there going onto say are these high crimes

shannon: lawmakers like ocasio cortez could come for nancy pelosi sooner rather than later. nancy pelosi made a deal after winning the house earnings support to be speaker in exchange for proposed term limits on leadership. see how that plays out. stacy abrams not ruling out 2020 white house run tweeting and part 20 years ago i never thought i could run for president of the united states before 2028 but life comes at you fast, now 2020 is on the table, this as beto o'rourke announces his first trip to i expected to campaign for eric gooden. they will join a crowded field of 2020 hopefuls if they run. the dnc announcing it will hold the 2020 convention in milwaukee, winning out over 5 months houston and miami. the committee chair, tom perez saying milwaukee embodies the working-class. apart from chicago democrats have not held a national convention in this way since 1960. frank sinatra called new york the top of the heap and soon you could go to the tiptop at 1100 feet called the edge. i watched this under construction as it was built, that was at 30 runs in yard, the tallest

howie: pelosi said we'll see what the mueller report comes up with. we are going to not impeach for political reasons. she is trying to tamp down this sentiment not only among the left wing of her party, but in the liberal press as well. mollie: part of the reason why she is trying tamp it down. there is an understanding impeachment would seal a 2020 victory they don't want to see. just weeks ago she was calling president trump a traitor. the punishment for being a traitor is much greater punishment than this. she said president trump was an agent of putin. we have been told such dramatic tales about what is going on. this russia collusion narrative is not working out for them. we need to have people who fed this conspiracy and talk about this explain why they are backing away if that is true. howie: this waiting -- no, it's going to be next week. sophomore thoughtful commentators say, and i agree, if the democrats were to go down the impeachment road, it would dominate the news. it would energize donald trump's base and ultimately fail in a republica

those do you agree with nancy pelosi there would be words that to impeach. i think nancy pelosi and you know she and i have not agreed a lot over the years but she's right on this one nancy pelosi has correctly determined that if you impeach donald trump in the house and you don't convict him in the senate all you've done is make him stronger all you've done is inoculate him and give him the ability to shake off future investigations and future are things that that try to hold him to account whether it's on the congressional side on the special counsel side or on another impeachment charge on other matters who would have been to the republican moderates. well larry most of them quit or lost their races in the last year. in the house the most of those guys the forty races that were that were forty seats that changed hands in the house a lot of those were the moderate republican caucus that was left in the senate there are still some moderates but they are keeping their heads down there are afraid of donald trump's anger and his tweeting and his mob and so mod

pelosi doesn't have an option. what would she say, if it's not compelling, we're going to proceed with an impeachment process which guarantees the republicans won't sign up? i think this is also as much a message for the democratic caucus which after the midterms, some of them a little bit out there, saying slow your roll, unless we get something that's really good, this is not a good idea. some of your constituents on the fringe might like it, but it's not great for the party to move to the center. >> what is she supposed to say, let's wait for the southern district of new york? >> the only thing i would say in response, bill, simply that i actually do think that mueller has already delivered things that are compelling, they just may not be a slam dunk, to your point, lowering expectations for the democrats. >> i think that's what's interesting, she's saying nothing in the public record right now, right, by making this statement, there's nothing in the public record that she believes is worth the effort of impeach

it's a nightmare for nancy pelosi. judge jeanine: michael cohen testifies, to bring a liar in and keep him for 10 hours before bringing him back in front of the body he lied to. do you think the doj will prosecute him for lying to congress? >> they have no other choice but to look into this. i want to go back to lieutenant general michael flynn. mueller goes after him and prosecutes him basically for one count of lying. one count of lying which by the way the fbi, the agents that interviewed him said he didn't lie. but he goes after him on that anyway. we have multiple people lying before congress. we have glenn simpson, we have michael he could be who lied over and over again. all these people need to be investigated. judge jeanine: i'm going to give the last word to john solomon. any chance the department of justice will do anything? >> rudy giuliani said it would be an outrage if they don't. before cohen came in 51% said they believed him. after he testified, it went down to 37. this is the lead witness and he has b

pelosi: good morning, everyone. we had votes until now. are you gathered here for ed o'keefe's birthday is that what this is about? let's dwell on that for a while. happy birthday. happy birthday. >> i get the first question. ms. pelosi: ok. you can just block out chad, you know. good morning, everyone. as we're coming to the end of march, women's history month, i'm exite about how we observed it yesterday in statuary hall. yesterday, we had a beautiful, historic ceremony honoring women in stem, science, technology, education, and math by honoring the women who helped put men on the moon. christine darden mark rir jackson, katherine johnson and dorothy vaughn. what i said yesterday is it took a, making it steam, the arts, for the world to know about the "hidden figures," the book run eric this -- written, the movie made, the inspiration they inspired. so it was petty -- maybe some of you were there. it was very, very exciting for us in women's history month to honor at least -- to honor these hidden figures, african-american who made such

>> nancy pelosi is right. other than last part of the phrase she offered there but the founders put up an exceptionally high bar. if she had an inkling, if she had some evidence i think she would go forth. i think it is an admission she doesn't have that evidence but has a problem with her caucus because she has 60 or so people that have signed up for impeachment, they've been promising this from the day donald trump was warning. the problem is they don't have evidence or facts to back something up and make the case because it would be a loser in the country knows that she is smart enough to recognize that. >> committees are coordinating 89 letters that went out last week looking at any number of things from the trump organization and family members to russia to everything else, even a special counsel waiting on that formal proceeding to close up. as soon as they cast a net to look at something. aaron blake of the washington post right after the news of nancy pelosi today nancy pelosi's ability to tap down imp

>> i want to go back to nancy for a second, nancy pelosi. my new hero. you know, there's two democratic parties right now. there's the democratic party, who's 78 years old. >> someone said to me today she's running the country. >> there's the newbies in the news, 32-year-olds, 20-year-olds, who clearly can't see in front of their nose and don't understand things. it's a marvelous contract. i'm in the peter camp. she is have shrewd. she wants to obviously take the trump victim card off the table b. she wants to set up so that -- i agree. we are not going to, nor should we, indict a president -- i mean, impeach a president, on process crimes. it's not going to happen. the obstruction is out there. forget whether it's right or wrong. it's not going to happen. so i believe, and i think se knows it's pretty much as far as as it's going to go. i believe going back to the southern district, she knows what's coming there also and does not want to make it seem we're going to get trump any way we can, we're going to get him on very clear black-and-white criminal n

nancy pelosi with a bombshell announcement. speaker pelosi telling "the washington post" i am not for impeachment. impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there is something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan i don't think we should go down that path because it divides the country and he is just not that worth it. much of the liberal base fired up about the possibility of impeaching the president. this will likely put her at odds with even some of her own committee chairs at a time when leading house democrats has been quite challenging. >> freshman congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez says since she is trying, she is in charge. >> so until you do it, i'm the boss. >> that's right. >> how about that? >> that makes a difficult atmosphere for house speaker nancy pelosi to keep her majority unified. in the spotlight over the weekend sounding like she is not happy with the status quo. >> where we are is not a good thing. and this idea of like 10% better from garbage.

number one i think speaker pelosi maz very clear plan. she's going to say i don't want to do impeachment so she can act totally prized of whatever comes out of the mueller report. that's the only way she's going to be able to sell this to the public. as far as stormy daniels goes, the more we find out about this case, the more we foipd out if the president had been smart, he could have just hired eher as a consultant. he could have gotten away with this. the fact he does this out of his personal money and doesn't admit he used this for campaign purposes not only shows we have a corrupt president but a dumb one. >> and signs the checks in the white house. have to leave it there. thank you both for joining us tonight. i appreciate it. >> and when we come back on the weekend when "the new york times" said that the presidential campaign would be fought over socialism alexandria cortez takes that on. taxing the super rich in davos in front of an audience of the super rich. naysayer said no one would subscribe to a car the way they subscribe to

i think nancy pelosi wants to put this behind her. that's why they are pushing to have this vote without members having the resolution. >> what she says isthin news conference with reporters will be very important for everyone to hear including members of her own party and what the next steps are. we will bring that to you when she addresses this. so this morning there are also new questions over michael cohen's testimony to congress and whether he lied again. here is the latest version according to lanny davis. at one point michael cohen did direct his attorney to discuss a possible pardon with president trump's legal team. lanny davis also says that does not inlt contradict his testimony to congress last week when he said this. i have never asked for nor would i accept a pardon from president tru trump. >> can both be true? what are you hearing? >> lanny davis is trying to make the argument about the timing of that statement. he is saying it is accurate because he is referring to a period after michael cohen's attorneys left what is

i believe her more than pelosi. pelosi is utterly controlled by these new radicals. she knows her power is in jeopardy every day. i have a message for those that think, oh, socialism is so cool, everything's free. well, democratic genius alexandria ocasio-cortez took a plane. the world's going to end in 12 years. she offered her expertise on a variety of issues at the south by southwest festival, it's a liberal festival. naturally, she found time to bash capitalism and america in the process. let's take a look. >> capitalism isn't -- to me, it's an ideology of capital. it puts capital, the most important thing is the c concentration of capital and it means that we seek and prioritize profit and the accumulation of money above all else and we seek it at any human and environmental cost. that is what that means. and to me that ideology is not sustainable and cannot be redeemed. >> sean: an irredeemable system. an economic system that drastically improved the quality of life for hundreds and hundreds of millions of americans over time. billions of others trying to dupli

the years but she's right on this one nancy pelosi has correctly determined that if you impeach donald trump in the house and you don't convict him in the senate all you've done is make him stronger all you've done is inoculate him and give him the ability to shake off future investigations and future of things that that try to hold him to account whether it's on the congressional side on the special counsel side or on another impeachment charge on other matters. who would have been to the republican moderates well larry most of them quit or lost their races in the last year. in the house the most of those guys the forty races that were that were forty seats that changed hands in the house a lot of those with a moderate republican caucus that was left in the senate there are still some moderates but they are keeping their heads down their frayed of donald trump's anger and his tweeting and his mob and so moderate republicanism and centrist republican isn't a still out there it's just in the tall grass hiding from the trump world is a soon to be published book pushing nk by generals vic

i agree with speaker pelosi. leave it up to the people. >> shannon: tom steyer who is a billionaire whose talked a lot about the poetical game. he's not running this time but a supporting lot of other causes and folks and he says he's been all about impeachment from day one. he says speaker pelosi thinks he's just not worth it, well, is defending our legal system worth it? is holding the president accountable for his crimes and coverups were think? is doing what's right worth it or chill america to stop fighting for our principles and so what is politically convenient? jason. >> i think speaker pelosi was right other than the last part of the phrase. the founders put up an exceptionally high bar. if she had an inkling, some evidence, i think she would go for it. it's hidden and mission she doesn't have that evidence but she has a problem with their caucus because she's got 60 or so people that have already signed up for impeachment. they've been promising this from the day donald trump was sworn in. the problem f

so a lot of people are talking about what nancy pelosi had to say. among them garrett haake talking to members of congress. even though it's weird not to see you on the hill. i know you were there all day yesterday. what are you hearing? >> well, look, there is a division among democrats about whether this is a good decision or not by nancy pelosi to come out so strongly. as you pointed out, this is not totally new. this is similar to what she has been saying in the sense that while there is a feeling among a lot of people in her party that the president has already done enough to be impeached, that an impeachment process in the house that isn't backed up by republican support, that isn't backed up in a way that could lead to the president's removal would be, as congressman butterfield said there, a political act that would lead to democrats being punished. what she has done is set a high but not unclearable bar for democrats moving forward on impeachment. she also made another comment thatna "washington post" interview where she talks about the resp

as nancy pelosi in the post yesterday. i am not for impeachment she said, i have been thinking about this, it's divisive to the country that unless there is something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan i don't think we should go down that path because it divides the country and he's not worth it. guest: thank you for having me on. i am here today because i love my country. the words in the pledge of allegiance mean something to me and i salute the flag, liberty and justice for all. and i believe this is what impeachment is about. it's really about whether or not we are going to tolerate and continue to allow an unfit president to be in office. let's address the comments about is he worth it. this is something i have heard before. this is not something new, whether the president is worth it. but it's not about him. it's not about democrats. it's about democracy. it's not about republicans, it's about the republic. the question we have to ask ourselves is if the country is worth it. whether what we stand for is wo

it's a nightmare for nancy pelosi. judge jeanine: michael cohen testifies, to bring a liar in and keep him for 10 hours before bringing him back in front of the body he lied to. do you think the doj will prosecute him for lying to congress? >> they have no other choice but to look into this. i want to go back to lieutenant general michael flynn. mueller goes after him and prosecutes him basically for one count of lying. one count of lying which by the way the fbi, the agents that interviewed him said he didn't lie. but he goes after him on that anyway. we have multiple people lying before congress. we have glenn simpson, we have michael he could be who lied over and over again. all these people need to be investigated. judge jeanine: i'm going to give the last word to john solomon. any chance the department of justice will do anything? >> rudy giuliani said it would be an outrage if they don't. before cohen came in 51% said they believed him. after he testified, it went down to 37. this is the lead witness and he has b

max, speaker pelosi says impeachment is not worth it. but you argue that the president has committed crimes, congress has an obligation to impeach regardless what it might mean politically. right? >> i think speaker pelosi is talking in a political sense about what is politically prudent and expedient. and i defer to her on that. she has a point to say that if the democrats simply pursue impeachment right now without any bipartisan support it could well blow up in their faces. that's a legitimate point. but on the flip side of the ledger is the fact that congress does have a constitutional responsibility to enforce the law and if the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, which i think is more likely than not in this case, what kind of message does that send about our regard for the rule of law if you give the president a pass because it's too politically difficult to try to hold him to account? i mean, i know that nancy pelosi's aware of these competing imperatives and she is trying to balance them in the best way possibl

where is nancy pelosi? >> sandra: we heard from her a few minutes ago she said the house will vote on all forms of hatred this resolution will not address omar by name. that shift you are describing, ronna, what will the republican strategy be to take that on in 2020? >> well, it's interesting to see all the 2020 candidates on the democrat side embracing this. embracing the green new deal, refusing to condemn the egregious comments by ilhan omar. so we're going to take that to the american people. the democrat party wants to radically change the way america works. they are want to turn us into a socialist nation. they want a total government takeover and the republican party recognizes that democracy has worked for decades hundreds of years. we need to continue down this path of prosperity. jobs are coming back. wages are up. it is going to be a stark contrast between what do you want for america socialism or democracy? >> sandra: at cpac would quickly saw that theme developing that the target being sociali

number one i think speaker pelosi maz very clear plan. she's going to say i don't want to do impeachment so she can act totally prized of whatever comes out of the mueller report. that's the only way she's going to be able to sell this to the public. as far as stormy daniels goes, the more we find out about this case, the more we foipd out if the president had been smart, he could have just hired eher as a consultant. he could have gotten away with this. the fact he does this out of his personal money and doesn't admit he used this for campaign purposes not only shows we have a corrupt president but a dumb one. >> and signs the checks in the white house. have to leave it there. thank you both for joining us tonight. i appreciate it. >> and when we come back on the weekend when "the new york times" said that the presidential campaign would be fought over socialism alexandria cortez takes that on. taxing the super rich in davos in front of an audience of the super rich. audience of the super rich moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. like ho

i am thoroughly unimpressed with nancy pelosi. you know this guy thinks he's the greatest in the world. kennedy: mr. candlesticks! >> you are funny, i love you! >> nancy pelosi is powerless. aoc is joaquin oliver. the left wing of the parties walking all over. this is pushback saying maybe we are in over a schemes a little bit. they know she is weak. that's why they're laughing at her and that is why aoc is so cocky. everyone acted as if she was so powerful. she stood down donald trump on the wall, did not give him a dime! i am unimpressed. quincy programs have to lease her nancy pelosi was, is, paul ryan was to be speaker of the house. he is not because he was weak and he could not get anything done. kennedy: i don't disagree with that at all. it was such a layup replacing obama care was such a layup! >> the debate -- all debate about what is socialism? there would be a time you start the policy on the left or right into me in the middle. [laughter] kennedy: you start on the far, far left! >> what happened was -- [multiple speake
