nancy pelosi did that last week. who said she was tortured and set on fire by a known criminal and illegal, she said, no, the policies are working. i cannot imagine what you feel, but the policies are working. i am taking it down, but that was a message. >> another thing that is insulting about the messaging, also what she is saying is that voters, you just didn't listen. you should have listened. >> they are the ones not listening. didn't they go wrong when kim ryan was in contention, still nancy pelosi is in power? i was looking through elizabeth warren's tweets, and she said the country is in crisis, but it did not begin with the election of donald trump. the country is in crisis because for years washington has worked for the rich and powerful, but not for anybody else. isn't she taking a page out of the donald trump playbook? >> yes, that is exactly right. it is out of the bernie sanders playbook. and i said it before, donald trump and bernie sanders emerged side-by-side because the policies of the left and the

i agree with nancy pelosi -- >> neil: someone is excited. we go up $3 trillion. it's not a walmart special. >> the ball is rolling with the obama administration and this is a respect of what happened -- >> neil: wait a minute. i need to be fair. i will say that this -- nearly $3 trillion in wealth since the election of donald trump. that is more than coincidental. >> it could be coincidental. that solved that problem. similarly today we heard the president talk up the fact that he's not givening up infrastructure. a lot of infrastructure related stocks were jumping again on the notion that he might mention it and commit more funds to it. what did you make of that? >> makes sense. material stocks that go into some of the infrastructure projects have been great owned since the president got elected. so i think those are great areas to keep in touch with. financials are a great place to be as interest rates suddenly tick up, lower regulation, the banking sector, which is hard-pressed and the financial sector for many, many years really since obama laid the hammer do

let's talk about nancy pelosi for a second. has the honor and distinction of being the most well-known yet least-liked person ithe te, and leadship. coming from pollsters. the democrats have called her a disgrace she is flip-flopped on her stance whether it is obamacare or the economy. all she is doing is pandering to her political leftists out in california. for her there are no credibility here. she is not fair. she is not balanced. and she is liar. david: julie, aren't you worried about the credibility. same charges thrown at tea party when they first emerged in 2010. tea party was racist organization. then you had people like herman conn, herman cain, allen west, ben carson how can a black conservative be a racist? >> i think that this goes back to whether or not you know the alt-right does espouse ideas -- david: wait a minute. you can't just paint with a broad brush -- >> "breitbart" said white nationalists. david: charses were made now against something called the alt-right, made against the tea party. a lot of black con

is this nancy pelosi's mic? i still don't understand why he does it silently. but he did.m. you're fired! please tell me that's exactly how he did it. >> sally yates was told by hand-delivered letter that trump was dismissing her. ( audience reacts ) >> trevor: you gave her a letter? the "your fired" guy? dismissed someone by letter? donald trump, that's your thing. that's like if arnold schwarzenegger was leaving, and he was, like, farewell. ( laughter ) that's your thing! donald trump firing people was the only thing we were looking forward to in the trump presidency. i bet the trump voters only voted for that issue. some voters are, like, screw this, bring in mike pence, that's the only reason i voted. i don't know about you, that's the only reason i voted illegally. otherwise i would have voted for hillary! what a waste! i could have voted for someone else! ( cheers and applause ) i mean, instead of being embarrassed by sally yates, an obama hold over, who is leaving in a few days anyway, he could have wait ford a few weeks on the ban when jeff sessions could have been

nancy pelosi, thank you for joining us today. >> my pleasure. >> you heard sarah sanders talk about the committee looking into the russia ties with the trump campaign. also, pretty much saying there will not be a recusal for now from the attorney general. your response? >> as you read the law and saw the law, the attorney general must recuse himself. but let's just take it back a step. you have seen a flurry of activities that are completely inappropriate, encouraging lawmakers, encouraging officials to say something is one way or another. let's have the investigation and find out the truth. and we have been calling. we have 100, plus now one republican, on eric smallwell's bill for an outside, independent commission to study the personal, political, and financial relationship between president trump and the russians. >> so far, the efforts have been quashed by the republican leadership in the house. you're getting pressure from democrats to go farther. michael moore put out a tweet this week. he said tell your senators and house members now, you want them to cease all business until th

look at what nancy pelosi said, completely extreme.hat kind of response is not going to help them. >> my party, first of all, lacks a chairman -- not that her matters. the fact is that the base is moving and that politicians are saying things like pelosi did, i don't agree with that. i'll tell you, it is not fair, and my view, to say that these are all fascists that represent the liberal wing -- represents liberal progressive anti-trump people. i happen to be an anti-trump person to the absolute core, but i don't consider myself a fascist, and i don't consider myself an anarchist. going to send george soros back his check. >> [laughs] >> kimberly, and going to ask you a question. these people, why don't they get arrested? >> because they are so afraid to do anything to enforce the law. i worked as a prosecutor in the bay area of san francisco and los angeles, grew up in san francisco, former first lady of san francisco, i saw this. red protesters in front of my house all the time, we did the care not cast program trying to give people

. >> let me ask you nancy pelosi -- get a quick reaction to nancy pelosi. she put out a statement and said quote five weeks into his administration, president trump has not introduced a single job failed. your reaction to that is what? >> he has created a lot of jobs. he continues to work with congress on both repealing and replacing obamacare. tax reform and fundamentally, both of those two items alone, i think can help spur a lot of economic growth. the meetings that we've had with the ceos, the health insurers, there are so many things that arob killing, and it could be done to help promote a better regulatory and tax climate that lead to job creation. i think that's one of the biggest problems right now is that people in washington aren't necessarily talking to job creators. what is the impediment that you have to hiring more american workers? what is the impediment that you have to manufacturing more? to building here? the meetings and the actions that the president has taken on both regulatory and other matters have helped spur job and job creation. y

and a briefing with democratic leader in the house, nancy pelosi. ms. pelosi: good morning, everyone. running a little bit late because of the prayer breakfast ran over earlier this morning, as you know, we gathered for the national prayer breakfast, a time-honored tradition to gather and say fellowship and humility as well as prayer. the values expressed by many people at the prayer breakfast as they led us in prayer were in stark contrast with the president's unconstitutional, immoral and dangerous ban on refugees and citizens of muslim countries coming into the united states. the president claims this is about security, but national security experts are urgently speaking out. the president's cruel and reckless ban makes america less safe. over 900 american diplomats have risked their careers to send a message that the president's ban makes america less safe, again, protecting our nation, and that's our first responsibility, to protect and defend our constitution and the american people. requires us to be smart and strong, not reckless and rash. three

i'm joined by the former speaker of the house nancy pelosi, welcome back. me ask you first about the travel ban here. would you be willing to work with the trump administration on legislation if they asked the congress to come up with something that would allow for some temporary suspension, some new vetting, would you be willing to work with the administration on something like that. >> we have taken an oath to protect and defend the constitution and the american people. as long as we're honoring the constitution, we're willing to work. now, as president obama did in 2011, we always have to subject our vetting to scrutiny to see if it's working. but that doesn't mean we institute an unconstitution, immoral ban on muslims coming into the country. what's interesting to me is this is kind of a diversion nar tactic. you heard the speaker talk about jobs. the election was about improving the lives of american people, about jobs, financial stability and the rest. where is the initiative for that? when they don't do something, they have a diversion nar tactic. wh

start on thoughts on what nancy pelosi just said. >> obviously, with the retirement of harry reid, nancy pelosi taking up the mantle as the baghdad bob and everything out of her mouth is dribble, she has the right to lie and name call all day. the democrats have taken up the concept of maximal childish resistance to the detriment of the american people. if they continue the outlandish shenanigans on capitol hill they pay the price at ballot box because ten democratic senators are up in states donald trump won. they can play ball and do business with the american people or continue to lose at ballot box, it's really their choice. >> simon rosenberg, this isn't really constructive. i'm sure you would argue republicans would do the same thing if it was the other way around. is this doing democrats any good at all? >> i think i have a slightly different take. not a big surprise, rex tillerson just became secretary of state. other cabinet officials have gone through. what happened is two of the cabinet officials the democrats tried to block yesterday, both lied to the committee, right? and tr

alan, house minority leader nancy pelosi put out a statement. white house has been caught trying to pressure the fbi into undermining a vital national security investigation in violation of justice department rules and may also be illegal. >> no. i think political not legal problem. big picture. president of the united states is executive. fbi is part of the execute. congress has no power to tell the president how to run the executive. he's free to make whatever decisions he wants within the executive. but the justice department and fbi have regulations that have been on the books for a long time. these practices violate those regulations. wrong and should be condemned. in the end no legal issue. this is not nixon calling cia and telling them to fabricate a cover story. this is using the fbi to try to get good press. should condemn it but not go to court of law. >> what would happen if this was in a hillary clinton administration? >> get so much pushback. hypocrisy is the homage that puts pay to virtue. none of that in this administration. say o

i don't see chuck schumer and nancy pelosi ringing the bell and sounding the bugle.trish: i don't know, feels like they're upset about something. they're also by the way, i should point out quick, guys, democrats are so upset about education secretary betsy devos getting a confirmed vote they are filibustering for a full 24 hours, you're looking at none other than elizath warren speaking now on the floor, and she's doing this, of course, all to protest the president's pick. kind of interesting they're digging in heels here about betsy devos. >> they have to. trish: of all people. they're the one she's targeting? ned, you said they have to, why? >> they have to. the teacher unions are some of the biggest political supporters not only in regard to money but ground game as well. of course they have to fight the fight and fight the fight with scott pruitt at epa, that's another hot-button issue to the left. the utter hypocrisy of the democratics when they say we're going to repeal obamacare without a democratic vote. how many republicans voted for it? that's right. zero.

you had nancy pelosi and the leaders yesterday saying flynn --led in and said scapegoat they put thatut on the national news. you have callers calling in, congress people who visit your show and put out fake information. anybody has to correct these people, hopefully c-span will bring out these facts. they talk about the birther issue -- president obama played that for four years. focus on the situation at hand. what do you make about what's going on with the michael flynn situation and how it is being handled by the white house? caller: i think they are trying to do the best they can with it. flynn should have been more upfront. everybody says sources say this or that -- if they say "sources, that is fake news. "sources tom cole that is fake news. "sources," that is fake news. you have the judicial system against do, the intelligent system against you, the hard left and hard right and congress -- think about a third-party. you can bring them together but you cannot bring the left and the right. "the washington times" whong it was nancy pelosi aned a tweet sent out by account posing a

you heard it at the top of the show, nancy pelosi. here's the flip side in the senate, chuck schumer. >> he talks like a populist but governs like a procore i'd log. >> what do they do. it's a celebration for republicans of power. they control the white house and both chambers. they have a lot of internal parties to deal with. what's the challenge for the democrats? >> they certainly don't stand and clap with a ton of frequency. one thing is donald trump pleads to a room and a group. that's how it often is. i wonder how by the democrats not being this cheering frenetic crowd he's used to can kind of affect that interplay that he needs to elevate his speech. >> can he get it with the virtual reality? >> for him it's a small crowd. for most it's a big room. for him it's a small crowd. but, look, democrats are in a much different place than they were six weeks or so ago. those things are outside the window. i do think they do not want to be an obstructionist. what would those be? i can't think of anything in tonight's speed. >> first i w

i mean, what do you think when nancy pelosi makes statements like that? what's your reaction? >> well, my first reaction is i wonder if nanciy pelosi actually knows what day of the week it is. because i've worked with their staff. they're some of the greatest staffers on the hill, and she tends to be clueless half of the time. i think the president has gotten more done in the first days and weeks than she has in many years. and my first concern with nancy pelosi is passed over a veteran, a member of congress over a nonveteran on the va committee who ended up being indicted on federal corruption charges. it was a total embarrassment. so nancy pelosi should work on getting her effects in order and give credit for what the president has done so far. liz: $3 trillion in estimated equity values since the election really took off about 11 or 12 days ago when the president said i plan to introduce a quote phenomenon tax cutting plan. here's what the l.a. times is now saying. this headline. why the stock market has climbed to record highs despite trump uncertainty. the market just had

somebody tell nancy pelosi. all over the country, americans are outraged like a beautiful woman like kate steinle was gunned down by a foreign felon who had illegally crossed back into this country six times. yet mrs. pelosi has the gall to say that in the sanctuary city of san francisco, our people are not disobeying the law. did sanchez disobey the law, mrs. pelosi? again, you told a bold lie, madam. if one of the most high-profile leaders of the democratic party is that arrogant and dishonest, what does that say about the party in general? mrs. pelosi did not stop there, continuing to criticize our economic system. >> we are capitalist. and that is the way it is. however, we do think that capitalism is not necessarily meeting the needs with the income inequality that we have in our country. >> bill: so americans who are not ideological, hearing this kind of stuff, that the sanctuary cities are acceptable, that capitalism is not "meeting the needs of our people," they turn away. but the democratic leadership d

reporter: nancy pelosi says republicans are cutting spejtd on healthcare. was a critical player on getting obamacare passed. drop zeek emanuel, one of the aca's architects. >> the first thing we need to do is change how we hawaii pay doctors and hospitals so they have a big incentive to increase their quality and lower their costs, and we have to pay them in different way than it season toughizes them to lower the total cost of care. reporter: paul ryan has been speaking about it in urgent tones. he says we need it to go away. mitch mcconnell says they will vote on a reveal as soon as thy have the votes. but gop membership has not given its rank and file members specifics on what's tonight and when the vote is going to be, and what it's going to cost. reporter: the jobs first mentality resonatin resonating h americans. 61% say they view of the economy as strong. peter morici, this is fitting if you look at the s & p 500's performance, the fifth best performance under any president. so gary, i'll start with you. we are loving what donald trump is doing to the
