speaker nancy pelosi. [cheers and applause] >> thank you very much, jeff. i accept every compliment on behalf of my colleagues in the congress who had the courage to fight for all those things. it took no courage for me because san francisco is san francisco and on the forefront of everything, save our planet, have fairness in our economy, advocate our children and respect our seniors. you name the subject, san francisco is in the lead. jeff for being in the lead in all of this. i was so looking forward to coming here. we're in session until very late last night, late our time and the time in the east. get on the plane, come here and i said, this is a family affair for us. official family affair. madam mayor, thank you for your great leadership bringing this to fruition, senator wiener, our assemblyman, i know we heard from phil ting and someone from haynie is here as well and to our -- where is he? where did he go? david chiu. and so many of you. and then our sports friends in our community. let me put this into perspective because the mayor started us wit

have marjorie taylor greene going on with him and the white house seem to enjoy it and i saw nancy pelosi say they were pretty well behaved for republicans so it strikes me how much the discourse has changed and how progressive his platform is. i know he talked about gun control and he didn't on climate change and it strikes you how much the discourse of the past decade has shifted the party left so maybe not pushing these proposals i believe a decade ago. >> and a lot about police reform as well so that was probably because the parents of tyre nichols up there as a special guest of the first lady so it really was sothing for the left. >> all of these social programs he talks about it's not definitely the joe biden we saw when he was vice president. >> let's flip to the other party and kevin mccarthy's tenure has gotten off to a rocky start and how fractured his the republican party at this point? >> it is interesting. after that he raised over $12 million that included some of his toughest critics like gym jordan or those on the far right or the maga republicans as joe biden would call t

that was ostensibly the decision of house leadership and something nancy pelosi said she wanted. host: a question on the ethics process on twitter asking exactly what happens to congressional officials when they violate ethics? they don't seem to be ever fired just censured. how can change happen if they are only slapped on the wrist every time? guest: it is very rare to expel a member of congress, but it is something that has happened in u.s. it is very rare. on the house side you have to go back to the representative from ohio, a democrat who was kicked out of congress because of a myriad number of things he had done that were illegal -- host: but he was kicked out after he was indicted. guest: absolutely. you have to do something so egregiously wrong in congress where it gets to the point where it is being debated among your colleagues as to whether you should still continue to serve as a elected member of congress or be kicked out of the body. incredibly rare. there have been censures and reprimands, fines, other types of penalties and sanctions that have been issued over the

so on behalf of speaker pelosi, speaker emeritus pelosi thank you again for your leadership. thank you for inviting her to be here. i know she wants to come back and visit the kitchen and she can't wait to come and visit the village as well. so thank you very much for having me here. it's a real privilege. thank you, everyone. oh and may i also add that on behalf of speaker america? pelosi i have a certificate of special congressional recognition. presented to the friendship house association of american indians for your leadership in establishing the village as f to provide holistic and culturally significant services to san francisco's urban indian community in recognition of outstanding and invaluable service to the community, so. my relatives are we would like to our executive director gabriel pimentel, and one of our elders, patricia shirley. we would like to ask. mayor may breed. ah, dan hillary. chairman james and harold mitchell to come stand here. we want to honor you with the blanket. these blankets have deep spiritual cultural meaning. cold winters. it can they can

forgive me speaker pelosi if i start crying. i'm the first woman elected to be the supervisor for district 7, and i am an immigrant to san francisco. my family came here during the civil war in el salvador and here i am on the bord of supervisor. i cannot tell you how much you mean to me, so i watched you throughout your career. i was a political science major at san francisco state and when you were elected after sala burton i remember looking at you a mother and every amazing thing you have been able to do, but i had no idea then that you become one of the great americans of my generation. coming as a immigrant to a place that gave my family refuge from violence and also a opportunity to thrive for myself, for my sisters, for now my girls, i'm a mother of 3, and watching what you have done for our country, have you saved our democracy. for somebody like me who came from a civil war to this wonderful place that is san francisco in the structure that is televised we have rules and having seen you do that for our country was prof

this happened on october 28th of last year at the pelosi home in pacific heights. depape is now facing federal charges and state charges in connection with this alleged attack and he has pleaded not guilty to those charges. just last night paul pelosi attended the state of the union address, where he got a standing ovation. the president saying that depape was unhinged by the big lie, using the very same language that insurrectionists who stalked the halls of the capitol were chanting on january 6th. those are the president's words. now, the 82-year-old underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and injuries to his right arm and his hand, following that incident. he was seen in the chambers wearing a hat. david depape is due in court for the hearing at 10:00 today. in san francisco, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. >>> 5:34 this morning. president biden delivered his state of the union last night. his first before a divided congress. >> my republican friends, we worked together the last congress, there's no reason we can't work together and f

reporter: speaker pelosi recently said she didn't want to be a mother in law to the caucus. how has it been to the caucus in this new role? mr. jeffries: wonderful for me to consistently talk to speaker pelosi, lean on her for her advice, her thoughts, her guidance, her suggestions, her experience as the greatest speaker of all time in the united states of america, factual and historic record makes that indisputable. it's wonderful to have speaker pelosi around and available for myself and pete and katherine and others to rely upon her for her advice and guidance. reporter: there is a resolution being introduced by freshman to -- [indiscernible] do you support moving forward? mr. jeffries: i haven't looked at the resolution i can only imagine what it says and certainly speaks for itself. george santos is a complete and utter and total fraud. and that fraud was perpetrated on the american people with aid and comfort from the extreme maga republican establishment. and they are still coddling him here in the united states congress. reporter: you don't want to get ahead with the

pelosi there tonight, what do you see? what do you diagnose in the balance between very overt references to support some of how to minimize the insurrection in order to try to provide actual defense or support for those involved? what do you do with squaring that with then the lies and conspiracy theories. in other words, oh, they have the tough muscle that's going to support them, but then also all of these lies suggesting that it wasn't an attack on mr. pelosi at all when it clearly was. >> yeah, it's so important that he's there tonight and it signifies, it's very moving for me because it signifies that the rule of law and democracy is holding. that this person was not successful either in harming irreparably or getting to his intended target and that we will go on and we will be resilient and resist this epidemic of violence, which is being evaded by the republican party. we have trump who's having dinner with neo nazis. attacks on power grids by neo nazis, but we have to always connect the dots and remember that when

the 82-year-old pelosi has not spoken publicly about the attack but eventually he will be called upon to testify as both a victim and a witness. along with setting a trial date, the judge here may also impose a gag order which would mean we'll have to wait until the trial to hear the defense strategy. in a case where the evidence of guilt, dana, certainly appears to be quite overwhelming. >> dana: indeed. thank you. >> bill: more teens apparently are skipping a major milestone. instead of getting behind the wheel to get a driver's license they stay home behind a telephone screen. a 20% drop in 18-year-olds with driver's licenses over the past four decades. parents growing concerned the pandemic and new tech could be to blame. want to bring in fox news contributor co-host of gutfeld, tyrus. maybe they are calling uber? any answers for this? >> a big answer. it is your fault, parents. you did this. nothing to do with cars. they don't want to get jobs. you have to get a job to have a car. you have to pay for gas. you have to pay for insurance. put something in on it. you have to work all

the axios 1 big thing is the gop just can't quit pelosi. for years, former speaker pelosi was a favorite republican target, both in their messaging and their fundraising. she's not speaker anymore, but that's not stopping them from still targeting pelosi. axios got hands on some plans from the house republican campaign committee to feature pelosi in some of their upcoming messages, arguing that her successor as house democratic leader, hakeem jeffries, is inexperienced and has her looking over her shoulder, learn from her. they're trying to cast him as a pelosi two. it is going to be difficult. congressman jeffries, leader jeffries, obviously historic in his own right. has a very different profile. and a little p.s. to this, former speaker pelosi, who is now a backbencher, just a representative representing san francisco, though you know behind the scenes, she's way more than that, she's starting to introduce leader jeffries and her leadership team for her fundraising network, which, of course, is one of the most en viable in the history of

the most high-profile is bono of u2, paul pelosi, husband of nancy pelosi recovering from the attack, and the presence -- parents of tyre nichols, the man killed by police captured in the video. each member of congress can bring one guest to the state of the union. the washington times with a wrapup of a few. congressman greg steube, the florida republican, remains on leave after falling off of a la dder is asking the man who called 911. that call provided him immediate attention after his fall. he called him a good samaritan. michael weinstock, a former ground zero volunteer firefighter will be the guest of congers been george santos of new york, the republican announced, a former assistant district attorney and special victims bureau volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician. mr. weinstock said he was a proud democrat but greatly appreciative of mr. santos' invite and mr. santos said he was grateful for his guest to accept that invitation. a couple notes and certainly there will be more throughout the day. members usually announcing special guests leading up to the stat

i want to honor nancy pelosi. i would like for this board to take under consideration and putting a statue of nancy pelosi over on the coit tower. that is something i would like for you guys to consider. she deserves it. when peoples come to san francisco, they can see how proud we are of a person like that. thank you very much.

. >>> the man accused of attacking paul pelosi will be back in federal court on march 15. his appearance scheduled for today was delayed within the past hour. it was expected to be his first court appearance since the san francisco police body camera video was released. you may find this hard to wash. it shows him answering the door with paul pelosi and refusing to drop the hammer upon order from the police. he eventually beat paul pelosi with it. he pleaded not guilty to all federal and state charges. last night, paul pelosi attended the state of the union address where he received a standing ovation. he is still recovering from a skull fracture and injuries to his right arm. we are still working to learn why the hearing was delayed. >>> the republican oversight committee held its first hearing into twitter and hunter biden's laptop this morning. >> congress has asked questions about this before. >> i think this is the big take away. there have already been hearings on this issue. twitter officials have already explained what happened. past testimony feature twitter's top

in fact, that pelosi is endorsing shift instead of porter or lee. meantime, the 89 year-old feinstein has not announced her plans. her campaign fund is only a few $1000. also today, a bitterly divided house voted to oust representative ilhan omar of minnesota from the foreign affairs committee. omar infuriated both democrats and republicans in 2019 for making what were considered anti-semitic remarks. 2 years later, she seemed to equate what she called atrocities by the u.s. military to the taliban. and she did later apologize on both counts. she was also one of the lawmakers who signed a resolution today recognizing israel as an ally condemning anti-semitism, although reportedly there were weeks of talks to get her to that point, today's vote was along party lines. and as for omar, she says she is the victim of prejudice for being a muslim woman from africa. >> are days or to a lab in the resolution. is adopted my leadership and voice will not be diminished. >> if i am not on this committee for one term, my voice will get louder and stronger and my

look, mccarthy was always going to be the weaker than pelosi because pelosi ran a dictatorship. he has ability the same level of power i had. dan meyer, who's his chief of staff, was my chief of staff. meyer knows exactly how we operated in the house. i think he's very comfortable that speaker mccarthy, as long as he has the support of the republicans conference, will be able to be a fully competent speaker in the traditional pre-dictatorship model. he won't be as powerful as jim wright tried to be, and he won't be as powerful as pelosi got to be but, frankly, that's pretty sick. i don't want a speaker to have the level of power that nancy pelosi had. that's wrong for america. >> you, one of the things that he had to agree to to become speaker, this was part of the deal heto made, was to go to a more commonly used thing called an open rule which allows for other members to bring amendments to the floor. in the house that's normally fairly controlled, but when you were speaker, you had an open rule policy for a very long time, for midwest of your four years as speaker -- most of

under nancy pelosi it was a very different. i believe that they made it the majority of the democratic caucus would've had to support such a motion for it to be made. so that was taken out of play. that's a question of just how powerful the speaker is, how much leverage the different sub-factions of each party have within it. that's sort of central to the question of how the house is organizing itself. i think we have to watch that. and we have to see then how it will be used. it's one thing to say that you can invoke this motion, it's another thing to actually do it and try to install a different speaker in the middle of congress. there's the question, when people using their leverage? what do they want exactly? what are they not being given? that is not always so clear today. host: less than 10 minutes left with philip wallach the book, "why congress." if you want to join, democrats should call 202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001. independents, 202-748-8002. dave, a democrat, good morning. caller: good morning. quickly, t

finally, one less gavel in pelosi's house for paul to fight with in his underwear. violence, an attack on someone who is north of 80 and almost beaten to death is no joking matter. that's sanctioning violence. that's his first act as a member of congress. where's the accountability? there is no accountability. it doesn't exist. it's a double standard. cory mills -- cory mills was placed on the very same foreign affairs committee that they're about to throw ilhan omar off. facts don't matter with this extreme maga republican majority. hypocrisy is not a constraint to their behavior. and shamelessness, they believe, is a superpower, and that will all be exposed for the american people. reporter: just to clarify two things, then. are you saying that the -- your vote for that was not related to any anti-semitic comments? and then second, are you saying that cory mills is the one that should not be serving on committees? mr. jeffries: what i'm saying is that the house republicans should have one standard equally applied. here was our standard. violent rhetoric from sitti
