we're blessed to have leader nancy pelosi here. who has been a huge leader. [ applause ] mayor lee, and it seems like we might have a quorum with the board of supervisors. i'm sure there is no work getting done over there today because we have been blessed with so many. supervisor kim, supervisor yeee, supervisor cohen and supervisor dufty and those are just too name a few. for mercy, these opportunitis are just few and far between. we were talking earlier, barry and i about how many people st. anthony's sees on a regular basis. these 89 affordable housing units and one manager's unit is an unbelievable accomplishment. and the sad thing it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the need we have. i think all of you know that, which is why you are here today. we're blessed to have the leader here today and i wish all your colleagues in congress could be as supportive as you have been over the years so people would understand the need. unfortunately with the situation that we have nationally, the funding for programs like this are re

house democratic leader nancy pelosi. and senator john mccain. pelosi and mccain only on "fox news sunday." then, senators grill the president's nominee for cia director over the targeted killing of terrorist suspects. we will ask our sunday panel about new demands to lift the veil on drone strikes. and our power player of the week can tell you almost everything the president does and how you often he does it. all right now on "fox news sunday." >> chris: and hello again from fox news in washington. when president obama delivers his state of the union is speech tuesday, one big issue will be sequestration. $85 billion in automatic spending cuts due to kick in march 1. the white house now warns this will mean damaging layoffs of teachersers law enforcement and food safety inspectors and the pentagon will be hit, too. they propose a mix of spending cuts and, yes, more taxes through limiting deductions for the wealthy. i sat down late friday with house democratic leader nancy pelosi and asked her are about the fast approaching deadline. congress woma

i sat down late friday with house democratic leader nancy pelosi and asked her about the fast-approachingdline. congressman pelosi, welcome back to fox news sunday. >> welcome to the capitol. >> chris: the white house says, sequestration will have a severe effect on many americans. house republicans agree. but they say the answer is to find other spending cuts, not tax hikes. >> well, i think that the sequestration is a bad idea, all around. it is something that is out of the question. the fact is, we have had plenty of spending cuts, $1.6 trillion in the budget control act. what we need is growth, growth with jobs and if you have spending cuts, education of our children, other investments, where you are hindering growth, you are no going to reduce the deficit. so, what w do need is more revenue, and more cuts, but i would like to see that a big, balanced, bold proposal. and short of that, we must do something to avoid the sequester. >> chris: here's what house speaker boehner said this week: >> at some point washington has to deal with its spending problem. i watched them kick the can do

i wonder, tom cole, first, i want to ask you about nancy pelosi's performance yesterday and then ask y the view of the president and democrats. but nancy yesterday, tom, said a couple things. i know her, like her, known her for a long time but continue to be stunned that she is a debt denier. she said we don't have a spending problem, first of all. and secondly, she says the problem with medicare is not medicare. tom cole. respond. >> you know, look. i have a lot of respect for leader pelosi as well, but that's just not the case. you're living in a fantasy. and she's been there for a long time. this is somebody that when president bush talked about reforming social security, something we need to do, really staged a democratic comeback in '05 and '06 over fighting any changes whatsoever in social security. and that's been pretty constant with my democratic friends all the way through. but at the end of the day, you just have to look at a budget pie chart. the money is on the entitlements side, that we've got an aging society. we've got a lot of problems in terms of health care costs. i

i sat down late friday with house democratic leader nancy pelosi and asked her are about the fast approaching deadline. congress woman pa lo pelosi, we back to "fox news sunday." >> welcome to the capitol. >> the white house says sequestration will have a severe effect on many americans. house republicans agree but say the answer is to find other spending cuts, not tax hikes. >> i would think that sequestration is a bad idea all around. this should be something that is out of the question. the fact is we have had plenty of spending cuts. $1.6 trillion in the budget control act. what we need is growth. we he need growth with jobs. and if you have spending cuts education of our children and other investments like the national institutes of health where you are hindering growth you are not delegate t going te deficit. we need more revenue and more cuts. i would like to see that in a big balanced bold proposal. short of that, we must do something to avoid the sequester. >> chris: here is what house speaker boehner said this week. >> at some point, washington, has to deal with its spending problem

or nancy pelosi and today tom arken not thinking we have a spending problem. to see something we don't or smoking something we're not. ai'll assume the former. although lately i am assuming the latter. i suspect i know why they are acting the way they are. cash cocky. looking at the market and saying wow and look at the surprising january surplus, the first in years and say doubly wow. they're assuming revenue from taxes they wanted proved the spending cut they never wanted so they are cocky. again, cash cocky. here is the thing about being cash cocky. you need to make cash to stay cocky. like you need to get big raises to keep the cash flowing. let cash start flowing in. back to fretting about the cash flowing out. here is why i'm fretting about washington. washington is not fretting. they are proposing hundreds of millions more. that is the thing about being cash cocky. you are cocky enough to think you will always have the cash to remain cocky and cocky enough to say thing like you know as a per sen tam of gdp this debt of ours isn't that bad. you are assum

nancy pelosi is used to speaking before representatives. she has been doing it for 25 years and she comes before us, representatives of all of san francisco and points beyond. she is used to celebrating occasions when those who have been excluded have been welcomed to something new and exciting. she has done it for women coming into the halls of congress. she has done it for seniors moving into housing. she has done it for those with hiv/aids gathering at the memorial grove. i could go on and on, but i would much rather hear her speak, so please welcome leadership nancy pelosi. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. thank you very much for your very generous introduction, barry and for your great leadership at the st. anthony foundation, for the invitation to be here today with such distinguished guests. how about tyrone? is he something? [ applause ] but it's an honor to be with you barry, with susan swift, with doug shu-maker and our distinguished mayor, mayor lee. last time i saw him he was on the platform while president obama was deliver

one top democrat, nancy pelosi said, we don't have a spending problem. also my take on why the post office is in dire straits, and what should be done to fix it. and "consumer reports" find some small green car engines do not deliver on fuel economy claims, the willis report is on the ca case. gerri: all and that and more coming up later in the show, but our top story, one of our nation's heroes abandoned, new details on navy seal who shot and killed osama bin laden. "esquire" magazine and center for investigative reports released a 27 page article today with fresh details on raid, what happened to bin laden's shooter after retiring last settlement. here is troubling headline of the article, the man who killed bin laden is screwed, why? the former navy seal, who to this day remains annonymous said the military stiffed him, he is out on his own, no pension, no healthy care and no protection for his family, joining me now, the ceo of concerned veterans for america. i want to read you something fromet desire -- esquire magazine article, i know have you ques

last week president obama said he expects that nancy pelosi would soon be speaker once again. was the president trying to tee up pelosi for 2014 in his state of the union? >> his political calculation clearly last night is i will never get the republicans to work with me, let's start running nancy pelosi as speaker tonight. >> i will get the first read on this. first, the senate is expected to take a vinyl vote tomorrow on former republican senator chuck hagel's nomination to be the next secretary of defense. confirmation is expected after the armed services committee approved late yesterday by a vote of 14-11. no republicans voted for hagel. . she was a picky eater. well now i'm her dietitian and last year, she wasn't eating so well. so i recommended boost complete nutritional drink to help her get the nutrition she was missing. and now she drinks it every day. well, it tastes great! [ male announcer ] boost has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones, and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. and our great taste is gu

host: what has changed from a sam rayburn to a nancy pelosi?ou have members for not beholden to the national parties. they raise their own money. that would have been unheard of 60 years ago. guest: one of the major differences is when sam rayburn and tip o'neill were speakers, both parties had people spanning the ideological spectrum. democrats. the most conservative and liberal members in the house. republicans had a wide ranging membership, too. that is very different from today where there is almost no overlap with the parties in the house. there is no overlap in the senate right now according to "national journal." running these chambers, is hard to be bipartisan and consensus- building when the parties are so different split. host: the next call is from st. louis on the democrats' line. caller: was tom delay the whip in congress? he was known as the hammer. i heard he did a lot of arm- twisting even to the point of passing out cash to get the votes demanded. what is different now? guest: tom delay was a very effective with and majority le

with warmest regards, nancy pelosi". thank you very much. [applause] >> so mayor lee, senator leno, state assembly member and leaders and ladies and gentlemen. it's a real honor for me to celebrate with you today the start of the italian culture in the united states. nancy pelosi was with our foreign minister in washington dc, but san francisco is the first major city after washington dc that follows suit, that follows washington dc, so again a little like the giants that want to be number one. today is december, 12, 2012 which is 12-12-12. kind of scary. i would like to quote rem. "it's the end of the world as we know it but we're just fine". we are just fine because we're beginning really 12 months that will be exciting and fun for all of us. as you all have mentioned italians have made a lasting contributions in building this city, and in making what it is, the city that is international, innovative and open. it's difficult to name names but let me mention angela rosy and judge misconnie and in city hall and in the hearts and minds of san

so that's mitch mcconnell, harry reid, nancy pelosi and john boehner. in response i think to the number of democrats and the first lady bringing victims of gun violence with them as guests to the state of the union this year, to highlight that issue, one republican member of congress this year has decided to do his part to advance the serious consideration of gun violence and lawful gun ownership in america by inviting as his guest for the state of the union this gentleman. >> mr. ted nugent is a musician. i believe he is still mostly known for "cat scratch fever", but i could be wrong. he was investigated by the secret service last year after telling an nra convention in april of 2012, quote, if barack obama is elected, i'll either be dead or in jail this time next year." texas congressman steve stockman has invited ted nugent to be his guest for the state of the union. but if you think about what he got in trouble for with the secret service last year, barack obama's elected i'll either be dead or in jail this time next year, if you think about that,

nancy pelosi is fabulously wealthy on her own, she could stand to take a pay cut.y want dignity they should turn it by actually passing a budget. wouldn't that be nice? stuart: last word on this program, very good. we got more time. the highlight reel is coming up next. how do traders using technical analysis streamline their process? at fidelity, we do it by merging two tools into one. combining your customized charts with leading-edge analysis tools from recognia so you can quickly spot key trends and possible entry and exit points. we like this idea so much that we've applied for a patent. i'm colin beck of fidelity investments. our integrated technical analysis is one more innovative reason serious investors are choosing fidelity. now get 200 free trades when you open an account. all stations come over to mithis is for real this time. step seven point two one two. rify and lock. command is locked. five seconds. three, two, one. standing by for capture. the most innovative software on the planet... dragon is captured. is connecting today's leading companies to p

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

nancy pelosi has some amount. wielding the speaker's gavel, but she is not someone to be marginalized. >> i covered the health care law in 2009 and 2010, and she was sort of masterful in terms of eating her conference together on extraordinarily divisive issue, but the message is that, you know, vice president biden, that obama delivered yesterday at the retreat was a political message. it was -- this is going to be tough, but you gee have to stick together. the politics on gun control, in particular, is not what it was in 1994, and you need to sort of rethink the way these politics are and really buck up and i think it was speaking directly to the fact that there are a lot of regional differences in the democratic caucus, but if they stick together, they may be able to do something. >> let's be clear. the president is saying pretty soon. that wasn't a prediction. that was a punt. pretty soon in political years doesn't mean anything. that means actually that he doesn't think they're going to win it in two years. t

. >> john: with michigan mcconnell, harry reid, join boehner and nancy pelosi.ording to the gallup pole the president goes in better shape than his friends in the g.o.p. 45% say barack obama is doing a better job of handling the sequester than congressional democrats at 37% or the mcconnell and boehner crews with just 25% but that's just a poll. does that mean that the voters support the president's call for closing tax loopholes for the wealthy? according to a wall street journal poll over 20% of the adults think it's a good idea. 52% say it's not a good idea. when asked if they favor the cuts to fix the deficit, 14% say they like the sequester cuts as they are. nearly 40% would like a plan with more cuts. just 37% want viewer cuts in all. i'm joined by a congressman who is offering an alternative adam smith, ranking member on the house arms committee. thank you for joining us this evening. >> thank you for having me on. i appreciate it. >> john: let's get to it, what do you have on your bill and how does it differ from the sequester. >> i'm the ranking member

nancy pelosi was basically just echoing sentiments from the president and self.eported in the "wall street journal" that barack obama had told john that he did not believe there was a spending problem. i followed up a couple weeks later with the speaker's office. the white house never even pushed back on the claim that the president had told the speaker that there was a spending problem in the country. it was something that the white house basically accepted as true , the president said this, there was not a spending problem. so how to republicans tried said breached good-faith agreements or good-faith negotiations about reducing the size and scope of government with a president who does not believe that that is to happen? lou: and reports today that the white house is calling on the house to come up and talk sequester, precisely what the speaker said he would not do. is that trap being laid? is it springing as we speak? >> the president would like to lay the trap. in a speech is going to talk about some of the terrible things that would happen if sequestration g

i love nancy pelosi. give her a big round of applause. [cheers and applause] i love nancy pelosi. also, she just generates good- looking grand babies. they are so handsome and sharp, and beautiful. to hoyer and jim as well as javier, thank you for the great work that you guys are doing each afternoon day. to steve israel who worked tirelessly to bring on 49 new outstanding members of this caucus. [cheers and applause] i am looking forward to spending time with all 49 of you. thefully we'll see you at white house and at various events but i know you came here to get something done. i look forward to working with you every single day to do what is right by the people who sent us here. i changed the format here. originally the way this is scheduled, i was going to talk and shake some hands and i thought since this is not a shy bunch. it might make sense for me to take some questions and advice, i'm sure you guys have for me. what i'm going to do is make a few points a the top and what i would like is maybe somebody can come up here and you can call on folks and we'll spend a little t

it's one thing -- it's another for nancy pelosi to deny there even is a steadiness or for the president to be planning now, compounding the spending mess. they won't save us from washington. i guess it's time for me, as if i'm not busy enough, to save us from washington because, relax, america you spending superhero is back. >> the sports illustrated model. they go nuts with that. anyway, yes, ladies, but even though under the weather, i'm loaded for bear. my doctors advise me i was coming back too soon, but sometimes the superhero has to do what a superhero has to do. left me no choice, washington, not when the nation others future is at stake. and the president of the united states is planning to throttle down. it's time to yours truly to speak up. >> neil: welcome. i'm neil. i heard nancy pelosi say this herself. >> it is almost false argument to say we have a spending problem. >> i shot up out of bed and had to hear it again. >> it is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem. >> false argument in you don't have to be a superhero to know that is super bunk and super

nancy pelosi's office and staff, they've been with us lockstepfighting for dollars. our pd, our fire, our first responders, our friends and also many that work at hud, staff, residents like coordinators, the list can go on and on because we definitely need to acknowledge these, that this is a multi-, multilevel approach. i also want to pay my respects to former supervisor sophie maxwell who also had the vision and leadership to get this project started forward. also had the foresight to tear down that power plant that was polluting our community. so, we really are where -- we are today is a culmination of small, little incremental steps that we have been taking for the last 40 years. 40 years is a long time, but now we need to think about the future and going forward and take pride and protect our investment, protect our children, shop locally, the businesses and restaurants that are happening and coming in on 3rd street. this is an exciting time, not a time for us to be fearful, but to collectively move in boldly and claim our future. thank you. (applause) >> thank

i want to go to nancy pelosi. >> how it affects individuals in our country.e've just come back from, what, a ten-daybreak. we've listened to members as to what they heard from the public and what our constituents are telling us is to get the job done. we're doing just that with the proposal under the leadership of chris can van hollen, our ranking democrat on the budget committee. he'll talk about our proposal, which we had on the table for a while. our chairman talked about jobs. month after month after month of private sector job increases. remarkable that can be reversed if we have the sequester, which is harmful to growth and harmful to job creation in addition to being harmful. for example, members told me about psychiatric nurses who deal with ptsd by returning vets who will be furloughed. is that what the american people want? i don't think so. we're practically, when you talk about jobs, that's one thing. when you talk about time, we've been gone for ten days. we'll be gone by thursday at 3:00 when we have a deadline facing us. we're practically becom

he was invited by house minority leader nancy pelosi and he described her as his best frenemy.ng there in character, referring to bill o'reilly as papa bear and he got a standing ovation of those enthralled with the performance and he did have a few serious things to say. his sister is running for the house in the state of south carolina. he said that she's going to win and she would be great and he asked assistant leader who's in the democratic house leadership of south carolina to endorse his sister. mr. clyburn was not ready to give that endorsement off the bat but a spirited moment that nancy pelosi really pulled out of the back pocket. no one was expecting him to show up. >> that's pretty good. back to former president bill clinton warning democrats to pivot from a defensive footing against republicans. what else did he warn of? >> it was interesting, tamron. he really spoke about how democrats need to be the party with the vision, especially on the idea of a budget. the senate democrats not passed a budget for some years and bill clinton said, look, go out there. tell peo

take, for example, nancy pelosi who said on fox news sunday that the country spending was, well, thiso, it is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem. we have a budget deficit problem that we have to address. >> sean: seriously? now more than 16 trillion dollars in debt doesn't scream a spending problem, i don't know what does. surprisingly earlier today when asked about pelosi's absurd denial. jay carney had no he choice, but to completely contradict her. watch this >> house minority leader nancy pelosi one of the sunday broadcasts, referring to the sequester on the future of the united states and talking about education and scientific research it's almost a false wrong that we have a spending problem. does the president think we have a spending problem. >> i think this is a little bit of deja vu here, of course the president believes we have a spending problem. >> sean: at least carney admits it. joining me now to explain why the dismal economic state is charlie rangel. how are you. >> doing well, doing well. >> sean: do you agree with pelosi or carney. >> you have
