one of the things mrs. pelosi always says when asked about her background, she said famously -- she is the daughter of the former mayor of baltimore and the sister of a former mayor of baltimore. what she learned about politics, she said, i learned how to count. i am sure she knows every single new member well enough to declare her candidacy that if she could not win, she would not be running. her announcing that she will run his confidence that she will run that she will win. -- predict did years ago they voted in secret ballot and that is what she got. host: where could a challenge come from, and from whom? guest: there are several that could run. no one has announced yet. -- will any of them step up even right now with her, as david was just saying? she seems to be very confident about locking it down. the last time that she was challenged, it came from representative tim ryan from ohio. he has very specifically said he is not planning on challenging her right now. that does not make it sound very exciting for

. >> caller: i just want to say, think that mrs. pelosi, she and i, i agree with the woman who called in from texas, she is an outspoken woman, but i she believes in what the people need, and need to hear, and i think with all of the democrats coming in, maybe we can make a difference, and maybe mr. trump will give up his tax returns. and also, i want to mention, our governor scott from the great state of florida. he knew back in the day, this is not his first rodeo that we were having problems with our voting machines, and i am totally insulted, calling somebody fraudulent, it is like calling somebody a thief. >> thank you. >> again, on the leadership race, pelosi has cast herself as the original progressive. and you know, we've got all these members coming in now, the alexander ocasio-cortezs of the world, and rashid tlaib and very broe congressive members. ayana presley, who want to see progress and want to see it now. well nancy pelosi went to the congressional progressive caucus and reminded people, i was a founding member of this cau

guest: i would say if you were trying to assess mrs. pelosi, her ability to hold her caucus together has been in the past pretty impressive. and theyears ago now obama administration was new and the democratic majority was stronger and more ideologically diverse than it is now, now the two wings are there really liberal progressives and the centerleft mainstreamers. 10 years ago there was a third wing, the so-called blue dogs, some of whom were more fiscally conservative than liberal republicans. mrs. pelosi did a pretty amazing job holding those folks together. she had an inordinate us near your memory -- enormous near to create a carbon tax. she is a good unifier. it is also the case that the democratic caucus does not have in the sense of the freedom caucus, people willing to throw a wrench into the whole thing and say heck, no, we will not help you. while such a thing emerge now? i tend to doubt it. host: joan in rockford, illinois , republican. caller: congratulations to democrats in high positions. it shows hard work. is, istion -- my co

mrs. pelosiyesterday americans elected an extraordinary class of dynamic and diverse democratic candidates. women led the way to victory with at least 30 new women coming to the congress. is that not exciting? and there is still some races that are not finalized, so there could be more. brent: nancy pelosi speaking there. it will be 100 women in the house of representatives next year. what does this say about the shifting power dynamics in the u.s. as well as the mood? maya: not just women but an incredibly diverse group of women. we are seeing the first two muslim congresswomen, one of the first black congresswoman from massachusetts, the first two native american women. this is something the women's march, women in america, especially women who don't support president trump, have been waiting for since january 20 1, 2017, the day after president trump was inaugurated and we saw the huge women's march sweep washihington, dc c d many places around the world. a lot of this we could say is in direc

and what doug is saying is mrs. pelosivide a convenient face for donald trump to blame for all this. liz: do you think nancy pelosi is aware of that? he is aware of it. she is speaker, and she'll be one of the most of powerful people in washington. that's what she wants and she'll play the hand she has been dealt, which bill said is resist. >> what he's going to do. they could make an immigration deal. daca. liz: opioids and immigration? >> i don't think any of that will happen. i think on immigration they wouldn't want to give him something he could claim as a victory before 2020. liz: forget the rest of the country that needs reform. >> they are against border security. they want open borders. not me. liz: happy thanksgiving. what's your favorite pie? >> pumpkin. >> pumpkin. liz: doug and bill, say hi to your folks. most of americans say they will avoid the political talk at the thanksgiving table like doug and bill. but one left-wing billionaire is crusading to get you to talk about impeaching trump. he wants you to tal

mrs. pelosi's democrats are in the mood to give the president anything big. there might be little deals here and there. neil: right. >> i don't think she will give them anything big going into the election. i think we should remember on health care, obamacare is as much as mrs. pelosi's legacy as it is president obama's and i think she will protect it. neil: do you think she will be the speaker? >> i actually do. i don't underestimate her. i think she is formidable woman, partly because there is no other alternative. a few people that would run if they couldn't. i also think she can make sort of a fair deal saying look, vote for me this last time, my last hurrah i will step down after i brought you here. i raised the money, i came back. i think on the merits she has a pretty good case for them, could overcome some of those votes. if there were really a leading candidate it might be a different story but i don't see it. neil: you know, i'm wondering, this is just me making this leap, bill, eschew this theory away, say the races in florida tip back to the democ

. >> mrs. pelosi is good at keeping caucus together.the president is all about deals, he's always said that, there's going to be a lot of deals that we may not like that he would do. if he's willing to raise taxes at the top, he can get a lot from the democrats, that's my fear, right? paul: willing to resign even more. [laughter] >> but there are conceivable deals, i think that's a danger middle-class tax cut, you raise top rates and middle-class tax cut. i think there's a lot of stuff they could do but all presidents, look, it's the morning after, all presidents and all speakers talk about bipartisanship and then they go and have to coral their votes, state of the union when the president puts out policies of what he's going to do. paul: allysia one moment of conference, well, you proposed this middle-class tax cut in the campaign f yaw want democrats to vote for that would you be willing to revisit tax reform and raise taxes sopwhere else, yeah, i think maybe we could do -- >> make adjustments, right. paul: what the message sent to pe

mrs. pelosi's team, they sayg that she is go be speaker.y point out she does have support from a majority of hou dem kratds and this is exactly what she needs when democrats votenternally two weeks frm now. but that is just step one in the process. step two comes in nuary, judy, when whoever wants to be speaker needs to get a majority of the full house, so to do tanancy pelosi would need more like 95%t of her caucusupport her. she does not have that right the, in particular ten of new freshman who arrived today campaigned saying that they would vote no, not to support nancy pelosi and other two doz who haven't said which way they would go. there is a group of dem kratds without are puttingut a letter trying to get enough signatures to show that nancy pelosi can't cross that threshhold in january. but we haven't seen the letter yet it is not clear who their chosen candite would be to replace her, late today ohio residentrcia fudge, vaid she might consider running herself,s a lot of ions about that. >> woodruff: we did hear from some of the n

mr. jeffries, you were calling for unity, but there's still members of your caucus who want to stop nancy pelosi from becoming speaker. how -- [inaudible] -- for your party to show unity if the same members try to prevent her from getting the speakership on the floor of the house in january? mr. jeffries: every member has an opportunity to do what they feel is best on behalf of the communities that they represent. the first order of business when we reconvene at 1:00 p.m. will be to take a vote on our speaker designee. as of the moment, nancy pelosi is the only candidate who has submitted her name and we'll see what happens when the meeting reconvenes, if someone emerges. but again, these are all contests of ideas. working through the process of preparing to transition from where we are to the house majority. once we do that, we'll all come together. [inaudible] reporter: a number of freshmen members have ambitions to be on powerful committees. it's not usually the case that freshmen get those kinds of seats. what is your view on how the committee seats should be allocated? mr. jeffries: that's

mr. brooks: nancy pelosi are not the enemy. mr. johnson: i say this in town halls. i'm in an r-13 district, but nancy pelosi is a very kind and generous person. she has been kind and generous person to me. [laughter] mr. johnson: she has a different end goal. a it is not to launch grenade. what she believes to be the the founders envisioned this to work. they through you would have firey brands and people would come around but they would be willing and able to arm wrestle over what is the best consensus to build for the most americans. mr. brooks: getting less than 100% of what you want is not the same as losing. mr. johnson: reagan said that. huckabee was running for governor of arkansas. media was attacking him and saying you are too conservative and they said you are a southern baptist. he said i'm more narrow minded than that. he said i'm a conservative but i'm not mad at anybody about that. and that is how you do things. and i'm a conservative because i know and i believe that our core premises are best for the country. i'm going to present it in every scenario

mr. jeffries: i'll be having the conversation with leader pelosi, with steny hoyer, with jim clyburn, informally with other members of the house democratic caucus. nd then i'll sit down with the three candidates who are here and then i'll also have a conversation with sean patrick maloney. get everyone's input in terms of the candidate. hear what the members of the house democratic caucus have to say, and then we'll proceed from there. thank you, everyone. reporter: thank you. >> the incoming democratic caucus chair, hakim jefferies of new york. he won that vote earlier today, beating out barbara lee of california, the vote 123-113. live on c-span watching the exterior of meeting rooms going on. the democrats' meeting to elect their leaders. gathering here at the longworth house office building across the street from the house side of capitol hill. they will proceed on with elections. at the top of the list is the speaker designee. likely to be nancy pelosi. that will come first and then all of the other leadership positions for the 116th congress. we hope to hear from members during or after th

maryland democrat cummings and announced his support for nancy pelosi as speaker of the house. this is 10 minutes. mr. cummings: i have been abundantly clear, i support nancy pelosi a million percent. we need somebody who has been battle tested as she has been. i think -- when you think about the victories on the part of the democratic party, a lot of us ran with the number one issue being health care and the affordable care act. ladies and gentlemen, there would be no affordable care act if it were not for nancy pelosi. she knows her caucus. i think we need that kind of leadership right now. we do not need to be divided. that's one of the things that would hurt us. so hopefully the caucus will agree with me. lthough we may not have been elected by all the american people, we have to govern as if we were. we cannot just appeal to a limited number of people who like us. we have to go out there and be razor focused on those issues like health care. making sure people get jobs and infrastructure. and we need to be in a position to say to the president, president trump, you said when you were campaigning

you are outspending me by four t one, plus pack money, and you will be nancy pelosi's pet. mr.evin: i look forward to proving you wrong. ms. harkey: you won't. moderator: i will stop you both there. there is a sense of political divide and partisanship right now in the country, certainly in the house of representatives. what can you do to work with republicans, because the divide is not getting anything done and i think it's fair to say many voters are frustrated with a lack of things getting done because of partisanship? mr. levin: i'm frustrated by toxic partisanship and toxic rhetoric and discourse in our country. i've never seen it worse than it is today. and i know residents of the 49th district want members of congress to get something done and solve problems for our local communities, rather than create more problems. that is what i have done with regard to clean energy and sustainability. i have worked across the aisle, in sacramento and washington, on legislation and policy that has had significant republican support. we can do that again on a variety of issues, whethe

mr. pelosi be beholden even though as you say jokingly being portrayed as a moderate.ple. represents ideology that has destroyed cultures and destroyed civilizations and countries. talking about democratic socialism or socialism in general. pelosi is bought and paid for by a lot of special interest. alexandria ocasio-cortez fights ideology justs even more harmful than special interest. at least those special interest relatively want some form of a market system. ocasio-cortez wants an ideology that's so corrosive and destructive to civilization and the world. one thing i say is this i find on college campuses every day at turning point u.s.a. ocasio-cortez is campus coming to congress. unbelievably dangerous ideas that originate on our college campuses that are now really, you know, materializing in congress which is unabashed marxism. really. free healthcare and education. very, very scary. rachel: i would say, charlie, what alexandria has done is given permission to others to pull their masks off. i actually think -- >> that's a very good point. rachel: i think pelos

. >> mrs. pelosi can say one thing. other people can say they should legislate, not investigate.ey want and they they want and they are talking about but not the subpoena in going after president trump. stuart: while that were clinically, electoral lead? my judgment is americans have really had it up to here with politics. >> i think we're setting up for a democrat usually do witnesses overreach. people have forgotten some of the stuff and the republicans look themselves vulnerable when john mccain killed obamacare because then they run record of voting on the preexisting condition without having the fix going. yesterday we had the representative from queens demonstrating in nancy pelosi's office. we've got the video of it too. bill mcgurn, heavy hitter at the wall street editorial board does democrats will overreach. coming in soon. it's a big day for bragg said. prime minister theresa may is trying to convince her candidate to support a draft brexit deal. if they support the deal, it needs approval from the europeans at a summit in the next few weeks. then, may have to get back

reporter: congressman, nancy pelosi said she will get a transitional figure, what does transition mean for you, one year, two years, time frame for a new generation? mrjeffries: the only determination that can be made in that regard is the determination that needs to be made by leader pelosi. i think she has correctly said if she's the next speaker that she is not going to lame-duck herself, particularly because we're dealing with the trump administration, we're dealing with mitch mcconnell and the boys in the senate, and we're dealing with some of trump's friendly co-conspirators in the house of representatives. why in the world would she or anyone lame-duck themselves as we're approaching some tough negotiations? reporter: mr. jeffries, a lot of your colleagues say [inaudible] you could fulfill that, you could be speaker one day, is that something you aspire to? mr. jeffries: not at all. this was an incredibly close race. it's a heavy burden now in terms of serving as chair of the house democratic caucus. as of 1:00 p.m., i have to preside over all of these elections. it's like the shortest transition in american history. and so i'm focused right n

mr. nadler and leader pelosi and try to work within the framework of what they highlight. in 2016 when i was elected, big democratic year, we had what we called six for '06 and we had six priorities and they included better pay for women, quality pay, it included minimum wage, there were economic bread-and-butter issues we passed. i think leader pelosi we have the similar six for '06 for this class of '18. we need to do investigations and oversight and this president's conduct is such he will lead us to see he has probably done more horm and more questionable probably illegal or impeachable offenses and since impeachment is part of the constitution, it will have to be considered and if the facts that are produced by the mueller report or his continued conduct warrant it we have to look at impeachment because it's on the table in the constitution but it won't be day one. the first thing we'll do is protect people with pre-existing conditions, try to work on passing jobs bills and clean up the swamp that he has really created. he's a swamp builder. he's the okeechobee swamp.

and whether they can actually work in a bipartisan way on things, which is something that mr trump and nancy pelosither members of the white house because they have the power to do that now. nancy pelosi was quite circumspect about that, she said that she would very much put it into the committee system, the committee thatis the committee system, the committee that is there to regulate these kind of thing stepped these oversights, she said she has a responsibility to have checks and balances and make sure things are running the way they should be running, so she was not very confrontational about it. we do not know how quickly i would start, but we have a sense that president trump was a bit worried about it, he did again offeran trump was a bit worried about it, he did again offer an olive branch to work ina did again offer an olive branch to work in a bipartisan way, but he also said that if they start to launch also at the investigations, that i would be a war posture and that i would be a war posture and that there would be a back—and—forth over this and that he was better at it than they were

mr. whittaker. >> now to nancy pelosi who's in line to potentially be the next speaker of the house.e lingering questions as democrats gear up for control, impeachment. pelosi says that while she doesn't want to impeach the president, he add-- she adds wh mueller might think is indictable could be impeachable. you have to have evidence of the connection. >>> the democrat poised to lead investigations into trump says he will use subpoenas sparingly. during an interview cummings was asked if he was ready to go to war with president trump if democrats decide to open investigations. here's what he had to say. >> i'm not going to war with anyone. what i am going to do is do what the american people said they wanted us to do through this election. even in trump country, they basically are saying we want transparency, we want honesty and integrity. i'm not going to be handing out subpoenas like somebody's handing out candy on halloween. i take this as a lawyer and as an officer of the court. i take subpoenas very seriously and i plan to, if i have to use them, they will be used in a methodi

pelosi: and our ranking members in a matter of weeks will be madam and mr. chairman. that is a great thing for the american people. we have been deputized to be a check and balance on the president and other branches of government and we will do that with dignity. thank you all very much. thank you.

if you talk to nancy pelosi's supporters and i'm sure mr. urn would agree with this, that some of the animus toward pelosi is because republicans are forcing democrats to answer whether they support her. now, whether you are a supporter of nancy pelosi's or not, the nancy pelosi, jim clyburn and hoyer leadership team from 2010 to 2012 passed massive pieces of legislation into law. whether you like them or not, you have to recognize that the health care call, the wall street dod frank bill and they passed a climate bill that died in the senate. these were big pieces of legislation that took a lot of muscling to get through congress. there's no question they are an efficient team. what a lot of democrats i've been talking to over the last couple of days, what they want to hear is what does it mean that nancy pelosi will be a transitional figure. could she put a little bit more meat on those bones. that is something she has offered up. what does she mean by that, and how long is that transition? no matter what you think of pelosi or anybody in t

will have to deal with one chamber of commerce controlled by the opposition, led likely by nancy pelosi. mr, so his skills will be put to the test over the next two years. in his tweet today he said that nancy pelosi deserves the honor of being speaker. republicans added two seats to their majority in the senate so far. they will have 53 seats, it appears, in the new 116th congress, to 47 for the democrats. the president called that a big victory. in the house the democrats picked up at least 27 seats to take control of the house for the first time since 2010. the president will be holding this news conference in the east room. his second solo news conference there since taking office. and as we wait for the president to arrive, it should be just momentarily, we have nancy cordes and ed o'keefe on the set with us, welcome back to both of you, you've been working long hours last night, i apologize if i interrupt you mis-sentence if the president steps up, but nancy, what are you expecting? >> he's going to try to put the focus all on the senate, according to him that's the big news of the ni

i also believe nancy pelosi and i can work together, along with everyone we have to work with. mr can you not do that while subpoenas are coming through?” can you not do that while subpoenas are coming through? i think we will. now the election is over, the election is over, now everybody is in love but then i see the hostility of questions in the room, i come in here asa of questions in the room, i come in here as a nice person wanting to answer questions and i have people jumping out of their seats screaming questions at me. the election is over. iam questions at me. the election is over. i am very, i am extraordinarily happy, i really am. i would tell you if i wasn't. look what happened in florida, look what happened in georgia. look at what happened in georgia. look at what happened in georgia. look at what happened in so many locations with governorships, nobody talks about the governorships. look at the amount of work that was given to these other candidates against my candidate. i'm extraordinarily happy and ifi candidate. i'm extraordinarily happy and if i was not, you loo

mr. trump anies of nancy pelosi becoming speaker of the house again. >> housing and homeless neness e big issues on the ballot and nationwide and locally. and homelessness would get an infusion of money now that the proposition crosscourt has passed. >> and the measure raises taxeses on big corporations to fund more homeless programs if it can overcome anticipated legal challenges. >> and last night, a prop c victory means that the homeless will have a home, and the help they truly need, and abc 7 news leann melendez is with more. >> this is if first defeat on the job, period. she did not want prop c to pass even though she has said that the homeless issue is perhaps her main priority, and now, how brave the moderate plays it from this point is very crucial. reid now faces newly-elected supervisors who are progressives and clearly in favor of taxing big business to house homeless. >> reporter: shortly after the prop c passed the mayor started to make calls to those who support supported or opposed the measure. >> inviting them and having discussions about how to move forward, because, you

mrs. keefer nancy pelosi issues and facts are the house. she says these probes can be scattershot. does a good job but this is a new environment. how do she prevent them from doing proper investigation proper oversight in not going too far where it backfires on democrats politically. 5:00 in baltimore elijah cummings is the respective incoming chair of the oversight committee holding a rally to talk about sessions in baltimore where this district is an hour north of washington d.c. the lame-duck session, most of the conversation even though there will be very little action on this is going to be about trying to push legislation to protect special counsel robert mueller. i spoke this morning at the senior house republican leadership aide who indicated they didn't think they would be any appetite to do that in the lame-duck congress. there's a lot of volume about that and you can bet democrats in the house of representatives will pursue that next year. consider the oversight responsibilities by the outgoing republican majority in the house. trey gowdy who is chair of the oversight co

pelosi: and our ranking members in a matter of weeks will be madam and mr. chairman. that is a great thing for the american people. we have been deputized to be a check and balance on the president and other branches of government and we will do that with dignity. thank you all very much. thank you. host: the speaker designee for the democrats, nancy pelosi, winning the vote in leadership elections 203-32. keep in mind that nancy pelosi will face a full house on january 3, when the 116th congress comes in, and she'll have to win 218 garnering a majority to become speak -- garnering a majority to become speaker for the 116th. at the same time nancy pelosi was ache making those comments, kathleen rice came to the camera, i want to show you a tweet capturing some of what she had to say to reporters. he she said moments ago we met with leader pelosi and tried to engage her in a reasonable conversation about leadership transition. unfortunately, our concerns were dismissed outright. we remain united behind our goal of new leadership and will vote against heren the floor. l

mr. mueller to do his job. nancy pelosi this through the eyes of somebody who hates trump. that finds evil at every turn. not to the san francisco perspective. i can assure you, if the shoe were on the other foot, and this were a democratic president, and he had picked a new attorney general, nobody would say much about it at all. >> martha: is there any chance that matt whitaker, as i'm sure you've been hearing about, has said a few things that have raised eyebrows, in terms of the scope of the investigation. he said it shouldn't go outside of the campaign, it should not extend into the finances of the trump family. and of president trump, he thinks that should be out of the purview of where this investigation should go. is there anything he has said that concerns you about his ability to be the interim attorney general, or indicates to you that he has any intention of limiting this investigation in any way? >> absolutely not. at the point he was making is that the special counsel does not have a rich, at large. he is conf

pelosi's speech. what jumped out at me was -- host: we have to leave it there and send it over to chuck schumer. mr. schumer: i have been in this gallery for four weeks. it's sort of cold turkey. few i heard the president a hours ago, i could not believe my ears. i thought it needed a little bit of rebutting. what about last night? look, last night was a really good night for democrats. what happened last night doesn't bode well for president trump and republicans in 2020 and beyond. theously, we took back house. that is far and away the most significant change. there is now a check on donald trump. that is great news for america. i want to praise all of the menidates, particularly the and women who did a great job. leader policy did a wonderful job -- leader nancy pelosi did a wonderful job in trying and succeeding in creating a majority once again. we did very well in governorships. includingup seven, kansas and wisconsin. wisconsin was especially sweet. we did well in state legislatures, where we picked up large numbers of legislative seats. meanwhile, republicans lost women, minorities, and subu

said that he fully expects mrs. pelosikevin mccarthy, if they were to hold on, he would be the speaker. well, maybe the number two guy with paul ryan retiring steve scalise. maybe he might challenge him, but i would think that with their loss, that is completely up for grabs. one of the names that has been mentioned as a possible house minority leader, you talk about the left-wing of the democratic caucus taking over the democrats in the house, you could have the right wing of the republican caucus taking over the house. so they are going to be battles for power on both sides in the house. >> let's take a look at our race call that we can now make in the iowa governors race. republican governor kim reynolds will win reelection by defeating fred hubbell. reynolds became the governor last year when the post was vacated to become the ambassador to china. very helpful to president trump in the state of iowa. and now she will take that rightful place as governor of iowa. kim reynolds. that is another republican governor in very

mr president you talk to lives just now about bipartisanship the presumed speaker of the house nancy pelosi talked about it last night i'm sure that's encouraging for the american people but do you really believe given how i now for viewers just joining us right now we've been listening to us president donald trump give his first reaction in public to the midterm election results president donald trump told the press gathered there that midterm elections defied history he took credit for g.o.p. gains in the senate and minimized the house all losses president bush started off his address by blaming a special interests a hostile media coverage for the disappointing result in the house of representatives he went on to say that those republican candidates who embraced him won and called out those by name who did not embrace him by naming and shaming basically and this saying that that was the reason why they lost and most probably most notably also is that the president has said that he hopes to work with democrats on trade and the economy so much to unpack are here with me still in studio is h

. >> nancy pelosi in winning back the majority now since she should be the next speaker of the house. mr. mccarthy: that's a question for her conference. they wanted to delay the election. there are a number of members that pledged they would not vote for her. only time will tell. i question what their agenda was and what they run on. ou just cannot resist. i raised the point about unemployment. in the last 49 years, unemployment has only been below 4% 11 months. ix of those 11 months you just lived through. not one democrat voted for that tax bill in the house or senate. they want to repeal it and want to remove i.c.e. and impeach the president. they want us to work together to solve our biggest problems and see that the next century is the american century and will work with any democrat who has that same goal. [inaudible question] ms. cheney: it's particularly moving obviously. my father has a real love of this institution, a love of the house of representatives and it's a love that i share. it's a wonderful place and we are here at a moment where we have the opportunity as the leader
