she's incredibly effective and even john boehner, her faux house republican speaker john boehner said she was probably the most effective speaker ever, right? we will do that in three categories andhe then we will do q&a. one is role models and people who helped her along the way. i went to ivy brown jackson ceremony at the white house and it was remarkable. her entire thing except for the end where she quoted maya angelou was her thanking people who had helped her from the time she was a child or family, mentors the white house team, naming everyone and it's not something you would normally see at jurist do. so we will do all models of people who helped her along the way, her early experience of motherhood which is important as the leader and the criticism and because i worked for hillary and wrote about those experiences we will mix hillary in there. >> start with her role models and her parents who were so important. >> thank you law for coming out on a saturday morning. [applause] at her two years at this pandemic is such a relief to see people in person so i'm really glad to be h

boehner didn't deliver his caucus. if you can't deliver your people, she thinks the most damaging legislation she pushed through was notthe affordable care act . it was tarp, that bank bailout in 2008 we have the financial meltdown and nobody liked bailing out banks. in american can politics bailing out banks is not the most popular thing to do but economists are saying if you don't do this we're going to head into a depression so they made a deal, pelosi and boehner made a deal they would deliver 50 percent of their caucus for this unpopular legislation n and she delivered 50 percent and a bit more and he did not and i don't know if you remember after the house vote, the stock market just plunged in a way that was serious and at that point they brought the legislation back up. pelosi delivered all the votes they needed. boehner again did not deliver 50 percent of his caucus because e he couldn't because that caucus was not under controln,her view would be you want to play with me you got to deliver . >> i had sort of

if i relinquish of any part of this. >> she would say that boehner did not deliver.is the point of bipartisanship? she thinks the most damaging legislation she pushed through is not the affordable care act, that the bank bailout in american what they were leaving is not the most important thing to do but they said if you don't we'll head into a depression. so they made a deal they would each deliver 50 percent of the caucus for this unpopular legislation she delivered 50 percent and he did not. and item went down. i don't know if you remember that but the stock market plunged in a way that was very serious. so at that point and then notnd delivering 50 percent because he couldn't it was not under control. so if you want to play with me you have to deliver. >> i think of her as and during the trump years and then in that that nancy always has the she is ago to the floor she doesn't have the vote but it started where she rescues the rescue package. >> she rescues to jab on —- george w. bush you was made the worst mistake in history which is the iraq war. she did not ha

she's incredibly effective and even john boehner her, you know foe house republican speaker john bainer said she was probably the most effective speaker ever, right? so i thought we would look start do that sort of three categories and then we'll do q&a with the audience one is role models and early role models and people who helped her along the way i went to kentucky brown jackson's ceremony yesterday at the white house, and it was remarkable. i don't know if you didn't watch the whole thing. you didn't see this. her entire speech except for the very end. that was very moving where she quoted my angelo was her thanking people. it was her thanking people who had helped her from the time. she was a child her family mentors jurists the white house team naming everyone and you know, it's not something you would normally see a leader. a jurist jurisdo, so we'll do role models or people who helped her along the way her early experiences and motherhood which seemed to be really important to developing those the leader and then how she manages criticism and along the way because i worked for

john boehner's team got 64 seats and we got 53 seats. this is the fourth big wave in this direction and, again, what happens is the democrats go off the rails. the truth is that obama was anti-petroleum, anti-gasoline and diesel fuel and heating oil as biden is and it led to a rebellion, because people understood it. and i think what you're faced with now, the only hope for the american future to return to sanity is a huge republican victory this fall followed by a republican party behaving like a genuine reformed party as we did, and followed by a presidential election which is cataclysmic for the democrats. >> laura: you're darn right. >> remember, it took the republicans from 1932 into the 1950's to finally come to grips with the reality of fdr. it could easily take an entire generation for the democrats to figure out they can't be this crazy and expect ever to win again. >> laura: newt. great to see you. thank you very much. we suggested copious amounts of scientific evidence that there's a growing understanding of a correlation betw

the far right did that to john boehner in and paul ryan when they worked with democrats in order to pass legislation, so that is a trend that i think is solvable and is more likely to have better outcomes than potentially a third party. but like i said i a third party is potentially doable. it's a logistical challenge at the national level in the united states, but i would love to see some more about what the longer term impacts are. so will heard former congressman. is there a future you used to be the future of the republican party. are you still the future? well, you don't have to be an elected office just to be the future right, but i'm elected future. so here's what i would say. it is unlikely that my political career is over. i'm 44 years old, but if the opportunity for me to serve my country presents itself again, then i'll evaluated. i've been lucky to serve it and an amazing job like in the it was awesome. my hometown of san antonio and all the communities in west and south, texas and if there isn't if there's an opportunity only evaluative. well, there was some reporting that t

and back with me, brendan back, who worked for former republican house speakers, paul ryan and john boehner, i think the blunt question is what is brown jackson getting herself into because look, just one of three in the minority on the court. >> her being there is going to represent a large swath of americans, african american women in particular and african american community and her life experience demonstrates the need to have her voice there alongside that of sonia sotomayor. you could counter that in with the life experience of the current justice that is allowing them to make such extreme decisions themselves on the other side, but fundamentally, it's a matter of having a diverse court that looks like america and that also means reminding voters that voting matters. the reason that we are seeing such dissents on what the majority of americans want where we're talking about abortion bans, climate change legislation, whether we're talking even about this idea of who should have a gun and concealed weapons is because trump delivered to his voters that they were going to appoint justices

cnn's gabby orr and blending buck a former top aide to republican house speakers paul ryan and john boehnerting, your phone was burning up during and after cassidy hutchinson's testimony from people within trump world. what were they saying to you? >> well, john, trump aides initially reacted with shock at what they were hearing during yesterday's testimony. some of them telling me that they were taken aback by a number of the accounts of trump's outbursts on january 6 when he was told by secret service that he could not, in fact, go to the u.s. capitol to join his supporters there, but also when he first learned that bill barr had publicly declared there was no widespread voting fraud in the 2020 election. one trump aide told me that this cut right through the view that many trump supporters have of him and that is of somebody who was always in control. so that is one of the pieces of fallout from this, but, you know, the former president did deny a number of the claims that hutchinson made yesterday in nearly a dozen posts to his truth social website fs furiously responding in realtime to

the results are actually bigger than a ninety four to john boehner's team. got and sixty four seats we got fifty three . this is the fourth big wave in this direction and again what happens is the democrats go off the rails. obama the truth is that obama was anti petroleum as anti gasoline and diesel fuel and heating oil as biden is and it led tod a rebellion because people understood it i and i think what you're faced with now, the only hope for the american future to return to sanity isto a hugery republican victory this fall followed by a republican party behavingty liky a genuine reform party as we did and then followed by a presidential election which is cataclysmic for the democrats hit the ground point, althoughem remember took there it took the republicans from 1930 to into the 1950s to finally come to grips with the reality ofy fdr easily take an entire t generation for the democrats toe figure out they can't be this crazy and expect to ever win again. no. great to. see you. thanks so much. and we ruffled some feathers last night, including on the v

paul ryan talked about this when he was speaker, john boehner talked about this when he was speaker.changed even the nature of the senate, and that leaves someone like liz cheney, who was a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. really out on her own when she faces her own primary election in the middle of august what she's likely to not fare very well. she's the underdog there right now, but she comes out if you will aea star out of this out of the first day in terms of that prosecutorial kind of style that she has, and she's going to really move past it, even though she's probably going to lose her political career, but should be out there as the alternative to trump. and the trumpism, and i think that's something that republicans have to think about what they want to talk about inflation. they want to talk about guns. the second amendment, but democrats are just absolutely livid about what happened on january 6th. that's what you saw last night, and liz cheney is her own person, and she's going to keep going on this, even though it might cost her her own political career.

the most contentious vote i cast was for john boehner for speaker of the house and he was the only nomineethe fact that the two of us left should tell you about the state of politics. the question is how do you fix it? bill clinton and george bush both won the urban and rural votes. it can be done. it cannot be done if you make no effort to do it and if you have no interest to do it. >> we will get to our guests question soon. but i want to throw a couple of questions out there that i think exemplifies the urban-rural divide. let's start with one that still baffles me, covid. if there is an issue that should be unifying as the people come where there was a clear adversary, it is a pandemic. and get you look at the divide between left versus right, but really pronounced in urban versus rural in how we have been mitigating the pandemic. and i wonder why. has this come down to the basic argument of individual freedom versus collective responsibility , or is it something else? i would love to hear from each of your perspectives why we are so divided. why urban versus rural is so divided and ho

the most contentious vote i cast was for john boehner, speaker of the house. he was the only nominee for speaker of the house. the fact that the two of us left undefeated should tell you something about the state of politics. the question, is how do you fix it? clinton, bush, both one the urban and rural vote. it can be done. it cannot be done if you make no effort to do it, and if you are not interested in doing it. so, -- >> we are going to get to student questions soon, and they always ask better questions than we do. but, we want to throw a couple issues out there that i think kind of exemplify the urban world divide, some of which i don't understand why, so maybe we can talk it through a little bit. i will start with one that still baffles me, covid. i mean, if there is an issue that should be unifying us as a people, where there is a clear, common adversary, it is a pandemic. and yet, you look at the divide between left versus right, but really pronounced in urban versus rural in how we mitigate or how we have been mitigating the pandemic. i kind of wond
