so nancy pelosi had a lot to do with pushing the president. he would not have been in trouble in the first place, and it would not have been so watered down. >> there is a great story in my book about how some activists were meeting with roosevelt during then,ssio depressren, any were trying to have some legislation passed, and he said, "i agree with everything you just said. now, go out and make me do it." i wish obama had learned that lesson. some of the high-profile people told the progressive activists to basically slowdown -- slow down. it took about one year into the obama administration before they did it up again. that is when the health-care debate got a second wind, and i think that is one of the lessons of this book. everyone to martin luther king to the current situation, you need people on the outside to keep people on the inside honest. tavis: i am glad you mentioned dr. king, one of the greatest americans of the 20th century. let me link king to obama, since you mentioned both of their names. president obama, on the fund- raisin

. >> and nancy pelosi right there. >> a giants season ticket holder. >> and you remember one of the best moments leading up to the world series was when nancy was here and she was here for a press conference for the opening of a project here in san francisco. in the middle of the press conference, she yelled, "yes!" she was wearing earbuds and her arms went up in the air because she was so excited that the giants had moved forward. she is a hard core fan. >> she is legitimate. let's have lawrence scott take it away. >> we're there when there is hardly anybody else in the stands. now this is just great. twice in a row. >> reporter: nancy pelosi, twice in three years, it means so much to this area. tell me what it means to all of the folks here in the parade and how much you're enjoying it? >> it is one of the most personal connections between baseball teams and fans. everybody will tell you, we have the best fans in major league baseball. >> reporter: awesome. have a great day today. democratic leader congresswoman nancy pelosi heading out for the parade. we will have more for you. back t

nancy pelosi supported it, congressman king has not.e's not led on this issue and as a result, we don't have a farm bill and most important piece of legislation that gets people assistance. i think he should be held accountable for that. >> 60ag groups that support me. i don't know any that support ms. vilsack. >> i traveled all over the group with the ag groups. the board members have seen me in action. they know i can represent their interest. >> congress is dysfunctional. mr.king name one thing you can do that make congress functional. >> for a person who is in public. it would be foolish for me to bring up anything wishing i had done differently. on a missouri river bill, which i have yet to hear a position from vilsack, we worked on that for months. we were under water all summer long a year ago last summer. i introduced legislation, i confided with people. i should have gone broader. >> we have just a few seconds left. i'm going if give you a chance to answer that. dysfunctional congress, could use a change if anything. >> i think

she will read a brief statement from nancy pelosi. [applause] >> she will assist she could have been here to celebrate with everyone today. business has kept her in washington. she asked me to share with her -- share with the overstatement. on international women's day, we marked progress made for women and the work still to be done. we celebrate equality, and shine a light on the dark corners were inequality remains. we honor the suffragettes and reached for the ballots and stand with the women around the world still denied the fundamental right to participate in their democracy. the past year has painted a mixed portrait of both hope and struggle for the world's women in. three women won the nobel peace prize, yet millions of mothers and daughters remained unable to reach their full potential, gets an education, and join the workforce, and lead their communities and nations. we have seen an attempt to silence women in the debate for women's health and the witness inappropriate attacks on women spoke out. we must fight to ensure that

she is focused relentlessly -- and nancy pelosi knows that. she is focus relentlessly on the next 30 days. i occupied one of the narrowest lanes in washington. if i look too far down the lane or looked my left or right, i am distracted. i will be focused on the next 30 days and those 25 seats. >> if you guys when the house, you will almost certainly have won the presidency and the senate. if you don't win the house, we will have at least two more years of split government. we have the fiscal cliff coming up. we have a lot of major issues on the table right now. i wonder if you have any hope that the kind of gridlock we have seen in congress in recent years will subside and the two sides will start working together and actually get things done. >> i do have some hope for this reason. even if we fall short of the 25 seats -- and i am not conceding a single seat -- but even if we fall short, we will have beaten that the tea party tsunami of 2010. a lot of these tea party republicans who wrote in and said we will not compromise, we will not negoti

i watched nancy pelosi used to stand for the buses. here they come, here they go. if she wants to say what's over ground and not working is going to go under ground and going to be working, you representatives have to listen to the people and there are a lot of people that really don't agree with that. but that's on you. i worked at the presidio of san francisco and i am glad you have a witness in mr. [inaudible] who did a wonderful job on the drive. there are many phases to the drive as you understand that's federal property, but now we have a private governmental state type of collaboration to complete that project. at least there, there are bench marks and at least there you can watch the standards. on the central subway, you representatives just don't go with the flow. it's taxpayers' money, even though the representatives may think that they were involved in getting it and that the subject of transportation mr. hood really loves san francisco. it's taxpayers' money. >> thank you very much. >> thank you sir, any other member of the public that would like to spe

president obama, nancy pelosi, and harry reid have the perfect trifecta.ass comprehensive immigration reform, and they did nothing. they did not have a single bipartisan meeting at the white house. i do not support president obama did what he likes to do, an executive order on the dream act. >> thank you. >> you are not running against nancy pelosi. this is precisely the language of gridlock that is evident as to why we have a do nothing congress. one of the things we have to do is to realize that the congresswoman has failed to lead. she talks a big game, but she has failed to deliver. her language, when she attacks and attacks is very partisan. >> the next question. >> in your last debate, you refused to disclose your personal fought on california's prop. 8, which bans same-sex marriage. now that it is being looked at by the federal court, it has become a federal constitutional issue that has national implications on the legality of same-sex marriages. don't you think residents deserve to know where you stand on the issue? >> thank you for the question.

i am not running for nancy pelosi or president obama.i'm running for you right here in this district. as a public servant, i will always run for you. she continues to ask, who am i? i was humbly given the person of the year by the desert magazine. i was given humanitarian of the year by the rancho mirage chamber of commerce. i've always been a public servant and stood up hard for the residents of this district and i will do so for our seniors, middle-class and students right here. transfer congresswoman, one minutes for rebuttal. bono mack: i don't know have to say to that rebuttal because i've no idea what he stands for. he's saying something today, but folks please go online to research for yourself. it is appalling of the research and data about who you were. again, let me remind people, 2002, dr. ruiz, you lead a protest vote at our troops in. 2002, cohorts that, we stand with the people of afghanistan and palestine. is that worth smiling about? habitus were smiling about. that's very, very serious. people to know that. it's importan

[ laughter ] >> neighborhood by neighborhood precinct by precinct, district by district to just pull out that vote. >> jennifer: let's talk about your impression of this. last night the president was here in san francisco at a fund raiser, and he has been doing an awful lot of that. the fund raiser -- the president has held more fund raisers than the previous five presidents combined. he has had to do one fund raiser every 61 hours. what kind of a toll do you think that takes on somebody? >> someone who has a day job of being the most powerful person in the world it's a big toll. and that's why i have to dare to reduce the

thank you to the incredible leadership, senator feinstein, nancy pelosi and mayor lee and the board of supervisors to chairman nol an from the sfmta. i am on pins and needles. do we have anything else to report? it's still at the same point we think they're in commercials. i am reminded from the song from "top gun" "take my breath away" and $942 million takes my breath away and i think to mayor lee for that amount i think we should get a leather flight jacket to thank mr. lahood for the great gift to our great city. the new money that is going to be used here is going to create 1,000 new jobs before the end of the year with many more jobs to come after that. that is something to applaud. thank you again secretary lahood for that. this is one point 7 miles very similar to the length of the golden gate bridge when 75 years ago that was going to be built and little did we know what that bridge would bring to the economy of san francisco and marin and as we look ahead for 75 years it's interesting what this does for this region. you know the bay area has become the blue angels of science.

you saw a manifestation of that last week on this show when nancy pelosi came on this show and said, essentially, democrats can win back the house. nancy pelosi said not only is she confident that democrats can get the 25 seats they need to take e back control of the house, which is a huge number, she says she, quote, liked to have 35 seats, which would be a lot. and while it is news worthy that the democrats think they can take back the house, it should be said that a number of other observers looking at the same prospect are call k the idea that the democrats could take back the house pretty much impossible. politico publishing a piece on it. one of the consequences of republicans winning so many seats in the state legislatures in the big election of 2010 is that because that was a census year, that was also a redistricting year. and all of those bright red republican state legislatures that were elected in that year, they were able to redistrict congressional districts in their states to protect the republicans who won congressional seats in the midterms. and so despite the democr
