nancy met her husband, richard, while at harvard. they married and had two children. >> they had great energy, great friendliness. when they moved in they made gifts of ice cream and cookies and brought it to us. my husband used to say she was the nicest person in the world. >> nancy became the youngest partner in the history of a large real estate development firm but success came at a price. >> i think she always had, as many did at the time, a conflict between the amount of hours she wanted to work to develop her career and time with her children. >> nancy was also experiencing some physical ailments. and on a january night in 1991 her symptoms included vomiting and severe stomach pain. her husband, richard, took her to the hospital emergency room. doctors were initially baffled. >> she was seen by multiple consultants, gastric disease, because of her multi organ failure. still she was not recovering. >> nancy's condition deteriorated but she provided doctors with a potential clue. she said she first got sick several months earlie

and so, it ain't nancy's cash.sh, and i want everybody to have the same respect for the cash. that's the issue that i have, and so that's why i'm as intense as i am. not because i want to chop you down, because i don't want to make the same mistakes. >> well, i'm on board. there's no question about that. >> and so, i have some place i want to take you, okay? >> oh, i'm excited. >> go ahead and take this bend. i'm surprised by how much development's goin' on around here. >> waycross is--in the last five years, has been blowing up. >> has it? >> it's growin'--oh, yeah. and this is just an old georgia town. >> i'm taking nancy to a house in waycross in a neighborhood that i think she'll like. i want her to understand how important it is to her business that she live here. does your house in tampa look like this? >> no, i have a beach house. um, i have a nice house. >> is it this nice? >> no, not at all. >> nancy. >> mm-hmm. >> you want to know why i brought you here? >> 'cause i'ma be able to buy this house in about f

thank you. >> let's get to what nancy pelosi is saying. should the demes have equal access and participation, and that is what nancy pelosi is saying and with the upside or down side of fully participating or not showing up at all. >> so the democrats, nancy pelosi is considering three options, which is accepting all of their seats on the committee which would be five seats to the republican 7. the republicans have a majority in the house, they get to have a majority on every committee. that is relatively straightforward precedent so they get five out of the 12 seats. her second option, which one of her leading allies rosa delauero out would say to give the democrats full participation and be entitled to the domes and witnesses and the third option is to walk out and protest altogether and say we're going to take zero of our seats to declare the investigation a farce. that has not been done before i can find in all of the research i did on the history of these kind of investigation committees. it has never been the case where one sidewalke

nanci haines, are you here? james yorck or is this nanci haines? >> so, my name is nanci haines and i am interested in a seat on this committee of animal control and welfare. a little bit about me. i am a native californian. i have -- i grew up in the bay area and i've lived in the bay area most of my life. so, i have experienced a number of different cultures within the san francisco bay area. i currently reside in the mission district and i do have a dog and a cat. i'm also one of the founders of a new organization called ride a ranch rescue and it's a not for profit organization that's being set up to care for special needs animals. and at present it's new and it's a virtual organization where we're just now trying to raise funds and draw attention to special cases. our goal is to have a northern california location in a few years, provide a safe haven forespecial needs animal. as a part of the ranch we hope to also establish a veterinary internship program where veterinary students can care for the incoming animal. there's longer term plans for

that's something nanci is very adept at.'s a yoga techer which she didn't tell you, and a wine broker. she has some good kills and building consensus and crowds and driving people. she's definitely a connector. i think she would do well. i think for the long term also this would be a great opportunity for her and us to get connected to the infrastructure of the city to make some good alliances and friendships to set up rider ranch as a really effective shelter for animal in need down the road, to understand how it all works and develop friends in the city who could then refer these animals needs to us down the road when we have our physical brick and mortar presence. it would be a very good, a very he good opportunity. and we would certainly welcome your consideration and consider her very strongly for this position. thank you very much. >> dana? >>> hello, i'd like to talk on behalf of davi lang. davi lang is a wonderful, wonderful person in spirit and helpful. she has helped me on several writing projects. she'd be a perfe

i was advocating to nancy pelosi that they do it. will say one of the things that upsets the democrats is that we're having a select committee on something that was -- something that happened in a single night, we believe we actually know what happened. we didn't have sleekt committels on afghanistan, on iraq, on how the north koreans renuclearized under george bush -- >> george bush, george bush, george bush. >> we didn't have select committees when we were in power on big mistakes the republicans made -- >> i understand. >> this is very small compared to the mistakes made in iraq, afghanistan and osama bin laden and other things. >> i think we'll finally find out. president obama finally breaking his silence on the veteran affairs scandal, promising a full investigation. chris, was it enough for you? a lot of people thought he was going to say that shinseki had resigned. >> it was really sort of a nothing burger, to term president obama recently. there was no "there" there. it was 20 minutes of repetitious, the v.a. is good and we'

pelosi and which was nancy pelosi? >> the other metaphor is that we are trying to keep abreast of these health care developments, but go on. >> i can count on fox news, with all due respect, what is she going to say? what is she going to say? it was a terrible mistake? >> i thought you were going to criticize kate upton, so great. >> i think there was a needle sticking out of her arm when she said the word beautiful. and she could probably say a lot of things, but beautiful, and still covering her rear end. i think the best part of the clip was the interviewer just sat there and didn't fall off his chair. if anything is not beautiful, it's this. >> the interviewer looked like snowden. >> it was the guy that punched brad pitt in the face. >> up next, kate upton. no, i am dng. if you an extra 11 grand laying around? well, the government thinks you do. but first, what the heck, is this apple now getting hackers' attention. if apple is no longer safe from these guys, who is? ♪ [ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans tha

the most instruct the book on modest probably than nancy nancy reagan book because there was what reagan called his kitchen cabinet. these are very, very rich conservative republican that backed ronald reagan from the very, very beginning and helps them become governor and it can help you become president. but i don't think there is a group of 10 people and neither party that can control that. right now because of the recent supreme court decision, it's the money that controls it. who raises the most money? and whoever raises the most money and does the most advertising is usually the person who gets the nomination. >> host: if you can't get through the phone line, you can send kitty kelley each week. @booktv vizard putter handle. or facebook.com/booktv. from our twitter feed, rich neumeister asks, what would kitty kelley say is the difference in the political atmosphere is it's when she first came to washington? >> guest: rich, when i first came to washington, iraq and the united states senate. i worked for a liberal democrat from minnesota. keyword with virginia. people talked, went to

so this was, i think, a good decision by nancy pelosi. said that selected, you know, they would a-- that she could, they would abide by whatever, but she made the right decision. >> she had to do that. it was john boehner who was the true patriot here that made the decision to do the select committee, jon, because the government failed us. the state department did not give us answers, we had several congressional hearings that didn't give us answers, and it is government's job to protect the consumer. so while basil is talking about how great nancy pelosi is and the democrats, she went against boehner in the beginning saying that this was all political. so i'm glad she's followed boehner's suit. jon: do you think, basil, that this can be a fact-finding investigation or, you know, given the tone of the thing to this point is it just going to be, you know, red versus blue talking points and pointing fingers? >> well that, you know, that's clearically the concern -- clearly the concern, and representative elijiah cummings who's been a very v

nancy pelosi coming to the podium now. let's take a listen to what she has to say. >> good afternoon. what happened in benghazi on september 11th, 2012 was a tragedy for the families and loved ones, for those that were lost -- who lost their lives, for america's diplomatic corps and for all americans. unfortunately, the republican obsession about benghazi has not been about the victims or their families or our country. we had hoped that the house republican leaders would not go down the path forming a select committee. we've already been there. eight reviews have been conducted in the house and senate. 25,000 documents released. it was not necessary to put the families or our country through this partisan exercise once again. over the past two weeks we have engaged in good faith discussions with speaker boehner on the shape and standards of the select committee. we had hoped for a level of fairness and transparency and balance. especially considering the subject matter. we were want able to reach any agreement. regrettably

jenna: nancy pelosi gave her weekly address. out a little bit the benghazi select committee calling it a stunt. let's go ahead and listen in. >> i think i pretty well been satisfied that given where the troops were, how quickly the thing happened, this, the thing all happened and how quickly it dissipated we probably couldn't have done more than we did. we have been working on this for a long time. we issued a preliminary report. at some point when we run out of people to talk to, or we run out of people to talk to two or three times, at some.we think we'll all have as much of this story as we're going to get and move on. so, so there is that. what is the purpose of this? what is the manner in which they will proceed? how is that manifested in the respecting the rights of the minority? and, then we'll make a decision about where we should go. i, again, this is brand new. this is one week old. you would think we've been talking about this for a very long time. >> [inaudible] >> no, i don't think -- if they cared about the preside

nancy snyderman joins us now with details, nancy, good evening. >> good evening, lester. the cdc decided today to announce there is a third case, the first case of transmission within the united states and that is significant because they have been watching this very closely. this virus, the middle east respiratory syndrome virus has been well-known in the middle east and globally for the past few years affecting more than 572 people but knowing to have caused at least 173 deaths. and it's the death count that almost 30% death rate that concerned people. so for the two index cases in the united states, that's why the cdc has been working 24/7 to follow every one, those two people, one in florida, one in the state of illinois have come into contact with. this is a business associate. they tested family members and everybody that's been on an airplane. a reminder right now, the cdc is not recommending people change travel plans but if anyone has fever, cough, chest pain and the symptoms of influenza, this is not flu season, report it to your doctor and get tested for the me

house and nancy pelosi put you on this committee.joy ya reed said, the committee is in session, you are sitting there, how do you handle yourself as a democrat on this committee? what do you do as a member of this committee to go up against the republicans? >> first of all, i want to say i love joy reed but she has more confidence in the media than i do. the media will play into any circus that comes into town, whether it's three ring or one ring. i'm sad to say that as a current member of the media. >> governor, what do you do on this committee? what would you tell a democrat on this committee? how do you make sure you win the story? >> well, first of all, every vote is going to be 7-5, so it's not bipartisan. it's only bipartisan when democrats vote with republicans. then they can claim it's bipartisan. but what i would do is i would start my five minutes every minute by saying, ladies and gentlemen, this is a farce. we have had four congressional investigations. we don't need another. what we should be doing the jobs bill, infrast

nancy bohl: there's depression. it's not always diagnosed depression, but it's just a really low-level feeling of sadness, and it can be diagnosed depression but very low affect, the person doesn't have a lot of high energy. i remember when i really noticed that i was depressed was that i'd wake up in the morning and i'd just pull the sheets over my head. i didn't want to go out. i didn't want to get cleaned up, dressed up, talk to anybody, listen to anybody, be confronted by anything. so that's when i really knew something was wrong, because normally i just, you know, bounce out. and then there's guilt and bargaining. you know, bargaining that you won't do what you've done before that you think might've not been the right thing to do. you know, you try to bargain a lot of that spiritually. the final stage, acceptance, means moving ahead with life. nancy bohl: acceptance happens at different stages and different times for people. because we are resilient, most people will move into acceptance, and they waver a littl

on friday we trekked up to capitol hill to talk with house democratic leader nancy pelosi. comments about the latest benghazi investigation. as promised we'll bring you the rest of the interview. our conversation went just about everywhere. we talked immigration, talked about health care, talked about her personal relationship with house speaker john boehner and we asked what it's like personally, what it feels like to be under such constant personal attack. take a look. >> this stat jumped out at me this week. i guess the nrcc has sent out 44 different mailers in different districts targeting democratic candidates in linking each of the democratic candidates to you. >> mm-hmm. system >> it strikes me looking back it's been a consistent theme with them has been attaching you to democrats using john boehner necessarily. what makes they will pick on you is this. >> because i'm effective. we got the job done when we had the majority even under president obama. further under president obama, we have work on hiv/aids, helping children, passing the tarp the. the rest of that. our

nancy cordes is there. nancy. >> reporter: norah, as of this evening, a full quarter of the senate has called on shinseki to step down, and what's most problematic for the president is the number of these statements that are coming from members of his own party. veterans affairs secretary eric shinseki called the manipulation of v.a. wait times reprehensible in an op-ed today and vowed to accelerate access to care for veterans. but at least 25 senators now say that job should fall to someone else. nearly half of the senators are democrats, like minnesota's al franken. >> i believe, in the interests of our veterans, that we need new leadership. and that's what this is ultimately all about. >> reporter: but top house leaders from both parties said today they were reluctant to abandon a decorated four-star general. house speaker john boehner. how do you feel now that you've seen the inspector general's report? >> well, i'm going to continue to reserve judgment on... on general shinseki. the question i ask myse

it's funny that nancy pelosi brought ate unit i didn't. and it's going to happen i'm not sure saying every is perfect but not anything that can be changed in the near future. thank you all the residents i love my new place i hope you love yours. from my living room it's the best have you up in hunter's view. thank you so much (clapping.) i'm so sorry for our last speaking that has to follow that. however, i would like to introduce our mr. jon stewart. oh, my god see you all i need to look at the program. indeed. so jack garden is going to come up here and talk about this from the jon stewart company (clapping.) well, that's what you get when you work for a company that's named after a man they call all of us jon stewart all the time and it was producing for me when someone called him jack. let's rearrange the next time for speakers thank you ymca so i'm honored to be able to say i was one of the village people with the leader the speaking and mayor and bust a circled move on behalf of everybody up here. thanks to mechanic and thanks to the

>> well, tamron this is potentially game-changing, and we know that the democratic leader nancy pelosig towards full participation in the benghazi select committee which means to appoint democrats to join republicans in what many consider a politically divisive issue, and this is a big deal for nancy pelosi, because she has not wanted to take part in this and she met this morning at 10:00 while the president was in the meeting with shinseki and she was focused with the v.a., and nancy pelosi was talking with the leadership about the next step and expect another meeting today, and part of what is happening behind the scenes is the negotiation between nancy pelosi and speaker john boehner of how to make the committee work in a way that will have both sides leading the way of when the ambassador was killed and transparency and accountability, and typically the parties do wait. one of the big concerns is if this is something that would veer into the midterm election politics and not so much about seeking the truth, and that is a great concern for democrats, and would it also tee up the ong

and for any of you out there thinking, like nancy pelosi -- >> the fact is this is a stunt. this is a political stunt. that's what this is. we've been there, done this over and over again. >> we've done this over and over again, nancy? but why? maybe we need to get some straight answers, instead of the cameos of politicians pontificating from their purchase. allowing the witnesses to filibuster. why? to continue to ask questions until they get a damn answer. now, trey doughty is a seasoned prosecutors who will get answers. who will get facts and will get justice for those families. but what i want to know, did the president give the cross border authority order to send in reinforcements to save americans under attack? not just the four who lost their lives but the countless more on the ground in benghazi for more than eight hours. did the president even go into the situation room? it was just eight weeks before a tight election. were the president's political operatives, valerie jarrett and david axelrod in the situation? we know that greg hicks, the highest person on the gr

who exactly are you rooting for in that fight, nancy? mexican commander ignacio zaragoza or french count charles long ronz, doesn't matter because the mately the french came back and crushed the mexicans like guacamole in the second battle installing archduke maximillian as emperor of mexico who evidently narrowly escaped a canon shot to sears. if nancy pelosi really wanted republicans to get behind immigration reform she should have invoked an american battle with mexico like the all a-- alamo. i'm pretty sure we won that one, otherwise why would we keep remembering it.

today nancy pelosi announced that those talks with the speaker were over and that democrats had madeision about what to do. and i have to say, i did not see this coming. not like this. >> over the past two weeks, we have engaged in good faith discussions with speaker boehner on the shape and standards of the select committee. we had hoped for a level of fairness and transparency and balance, especially considering the subject matter. we were not able to reach any agreement. regrettably, the republican approach does not prevent the unacceptable and repeated abuses committed by chairman issa in any meaningful way. that is all the more reason for democrats to participate in the committee, to be there to fight for fair hearing and process, to try to bring some openness and transparency to what's going on. >> i thought she was going somewhere else at the beginning, but nancy pelosi said today that the democrats have finished negotiating with republicans about this committee, about how to make it more balanced, more fair. the democrats got nothing out of those negotiations. she said the co

nancy? >> so one day when hillary clinton was making her first run for the presidency i had an epiphany. i was going through some of those typical women things, balancing work, balancing my kids, and i thought, you know, we've experienced some of biggest transformations in world history in the last 50 years. the revolutions in gender and in sexuality, in freedom. and i thought, you know, maybe there's a connection between politicaltily yum delirium and this revolution that upended the most intimate relations that we all have. and so i jotted down this line perhaps if the pill hadn't been invented, american politics would be very different today. and, you know, honestly i thought it was a literary device, kind of metaphorical, not literally true. and then the week that the book came out in 2012, as many of you probably remember, the republicans convened an all-male panel to debate birth control including at least one celibate with, okay? so, you know, thank, republicans, thanks for the book's

nancy pelosi seems to be more interested in generating political theater.gs, the ranking member. this is a man who blamed obama's critics for being racist. this is the same elijah cummings who ran for her administration during the irs scandal, why the irs was abusing conservatives but worse than that, megyn. he colluded with the irs to attack conservatives and have conservatives face greater scrutiny. this is a fan we can't expect getting the truth to be his priority or adam shift, a representative from california called the select committee a farce. nancy pelosi is not interested in an impartial proceeding but wants to run for the white house. >> how does that pair up for the republicans? they have trey gouty who is not exactly, let's say he's been critical of the administration when it comes to benghazi. >> look at the rest of the members who and who isn't on the committ committee. you have democrats who are vocal and on the other side where is frank wolf from virginia? he came up with the idea. john culverson from texas, some of the strongest, most vocal

it's up to nancy pelosi. i think it would help her to have restrained people on the committee because trey gowdy is going to run the hearings. >> what do you think leader pelosi's strategy is? >> i don't think she understands what it's all about. she says republicans don't understand it and the american people don't care about it. the more i listen to nancy pelosi, the less i think she knows about benghazi. i think her objection is that it's going to hurt secretary clinton and she's acting in the partisan way that she's accusing john boehner of acting. i can tell you, john boehner has handled this incredibly -- with incredible restraint because for months and months, other republicans have been pushing john to set up a select committee. he didn't want to do it. he did not want to take that route unless he had to. once he saw that it did go into the white house, once he saw that you had to have the subpoena power and assemble all of the information that four other committees had to assemble and use that to go

at least they thought we'll roll it out and see if it does work because that's essentially what nancy pelosi said and then their fallback position was nationalized health care and here's why a single payer, you can't put the genie, very hard to put the genie back in the bottle. >> i'll give nancy pelosi more credit. the quickest way to get is to take obama care. what do you think of obama care. but, besides that, i think she did read it and she did know what was inside it exactly to the letter. and i think all of this is coming out exactly as she expected it might. >> you give the states the power to do their own thing to push it through. if the state exchanges are underperforming the federal government can take them over and that is the direction that we're heading in with a lot of these states. by the way, the massachusetts exchange, it clap collapsed af few hours of operations. money was free flowing from health and human services. >> romney care, they are already trying to pin this on that old program, not on the new program. >> the problem appears to be the conversion to meet the
