what better an icon to use as a foil than nancy pelosi? she's maybe fed into it with some of the things that she said. >> she certainly when i asked her that question her eyes lit up. she was happy, happy to fire back at speaker gingrich. let's move onto the race before us right now. mitt romney, newt gingrich are in a tight race here in florida, dan that john mccain came to mitt romney's aid on a sneaking spending into bills, earmarks, let's listen on a conference call where he takes after and essentially blames newt gingrich for the explosion of this problem. >> i saw these earmarks explode. i saw the corruption also that resulted from it. it was infuriating. while gingrich was speaker, the number of earmarks doubled to more than 6,000 projects in the range of billions of dollars." >> can't say john mccain would be a tea party favorite, dana, but clearly that's what they're going at here for the romney campaign trying to peel away some of the speaker's conservative support, right? >> absolutely. when rick santorum was on the rise he said

here is leader pelosi's statement.the fight against hiv/aids and for those fighting against this terrible disease has been one of my top legislative priorities for the of 25 years. san francisco was hit early and hit hard by the devastation of hiv/aids, but san franciscans responded by developing a model of care that became the model for the ryan white care act. our city shows that, bourbons of hiv/aids work saves lives by keeping people healthy and productive. today, again, san francisco leads the way for compassionate, community-based care with the supplemental budget from mayor lee. ryan white funded initiatives are saving lives. declines in aids deaths are a direct result of the '30s and services that have been made more widely available through the ryan white act to large numbers of uninsured and underinsured people here that is why it was disappointing when the bush administration first proposed severe cuts, and that is why i have fought continued republican efforts to sustain these cuts. for several years, i wor

i don't think any republican will be threatened by nancy pelosi.ankly, i'd rather have her threaten me than endorse me. >> we need to understand why that is. the records need to be released because you know if nancy pelosi knows those things right now, he is will hand them to barack obama's campaign. >> bret: back and forth about what the now my morety leader says what he is knows about gingrich's past. she was on the investigating committee. but her staff said she was talking about the public records much of the public doesn't know about. let's look at the polls in florida. first, quinnipiac university has a new poll out and this shows that mitt romney up 36%. newt gingrich, 34. you can see the other two, santorum and paul there. then, arg, this is romney lead 41-34%. if you look at the real clear politics average, we should point out there are other polls that have come out in recent days. this is the average of all the newest polls. it has newt gingrich still up there. but a very close race. with that bring in the panel. steve hayes, for "weekly

i don't think any republican is going to be threatened by nancy pelosi., i'd rather have her threaten me than endorse me. >> andrea: pelosi made those comments to john king on cnn. but he is also came out and said the same thing around december if you remember. we talked about it on "the five." eric, he is is accusing him of some wrongdoing. newt gingrich says he is lives in some san francisco fantasy land. how if he is was involved in the ethics case, which is what he is is talking about, can he is bring it up as a sitting member of congress? this is an ethical code he is is breaking that shouldn't he is know about? >> eric: if i'm not mistaken, when he is brought it up the first time newt called her on it. you can't do that. forget the ethical code. i think he is is breaking the law. not just codes. i mean literally could stand, expose herself to being rep remanded by the house as -- reprimanded by the house as well. he is can play the game. but if you are going to do it, what are you waiting on? do it now. >> andrea: the first time he is did it the sta

nancy pelosi, speaker of the house in san francisco. when she came into congress her net worth was $3 million. in the 20 years she served in congress after that her net worth had gone up 876% which means if you do it on a compound basis you're averaging a return on your investment every year. having george soros or warren buffett would kill for that kind of return on investment. so a dramatic increase in wealth. i will argue at least part of that, large part of that is connected to her political position. what about a republican? the speaker of the house immediately before her was dennis pastor from illinois. dennis have stirred when he became speaker in the 1990s had a net worth around $300,000. when he left as speaker less than a decade later it was in the millions. it could potentially have been $11 million. he didn't inherit money. he didn't win the lottery. it is a function of leveraging his position in order to enrich himself. those are two individuals but there are others i talk about in the book. i name people from both politica

nancy pelosi was on the committee of that ethics investigation. it ended with newt gingrich resigning in disgrace. everybody including republicans at the time thought that the end of his political career. that's true, isn't it? >> that is true. and she was a senior democrat on the house ethics committee at the time when it was investigating then speaker gingrich. he ended up paying $300,000. part of the cost of the investigation, well, her office was getting a lot of questions about this, what appeared to be a veiled threat. her spokesman drew hammel saying, quote, leader pelosi previously made a reference to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive committee report with which the public may not be fully aware, so he is trying to say essentially this is stuff you may have read about years ago or may have forgotten about or perhaps did not pay attention to at the time, shep. >> shepard: mike emanuel on the hill tonight. thanks very much. the treasury secretary tim geithner now says he will soon b

the headlines are saying congresswoman pelosi helped this couple, which she did. but the two men are crediting a lot of other people? >> well, it's a little of both actually. there were facebook pages and petitions demanding that this couple be allowed to stay together in san francisco. bradford wells and anthony mack told us that the staff at dianne feinstein and nancy pelosi's office say despite the fact that this wasn't a national campaign, an organized campaign. the amount of mail they received was impressive. it helped them, and now they're hoping their win can help others. >> we had no idea when any decision was going to be made if any decision was going to be made. it's a complete surprise. >> it's not every day that a couple receives a phone call from congresswoman nancy pelosi. pelosi called anthony and bradford personally to tell them they had received a deferred action for two years. it means mack an australian citizen won't be deported to australia, and won't have to leave wells his spouse of two decades. a heterosexual married couple could have applie

literally, the pelosis -- nancy pelosi and her husband -- were given access to 5,000 shares of stockin visa, the credit card company. they were able to buy those at $44 a share. the next day when they went public, they immediately sold at $66 a share, and then within a matter of weeks it was over $90 a share. so literally there was a net gain of $100,000 in their visa ipo stock in one day. now, was there a quid pro quo? i don't know. what's curious, though, is pelosi received access to those shares which are enormously difficult for anybody to get at the same time they received access to those, visa had two pieces of legislation that they were profoundly concerned about on capitol hill. the important thing to remember with visa is visa is not a credit card issuer, they are a credit card company. they make their money from that 3% that the restaurants or the grocery store that you use a card at, it's called a merchant swipe fee, and it's about 3%. that's how visa makes their money. they don't make their money on interest rates or anything else. well, these two pieces of legislation de
