nancy pelosi kept it there. when i interviewed newt gingrich, he told me about an old movie which involved pirates. it's hard to explain this a little bit. he said when he saw nancy pelosi, he saw a fellow pirate. by that meaning, not that they were ideologically close, but that they were both very skilled in the business of politics. he said that with some admiration. host: you referenced earlier the three year battle with steny hoyer for the leadership position. when did that come to a culmination? guest: she won the election in the fall of 2001. she was installed as a weapon in -- as a whip in february 2002. she's been leadership ever since. that's pretty unusual. not since sam rayburn. that stint as head of the house democrats is pretty long. no one since sam rayburn has held the leadership position for that long. she held it when they were in the minority and the majority and the minority and back in the majority again. that's a sign of her hold on this caucus. she has managed to keep a hold of it. of time

nancy pelosi is a lightning rod for her critics. the book is a very personal story. u learn little things about her personality. what are those character traits the public nancy does not reveal? guest: let me talk about the surprise. if you asked me what surprised me, i think it would be her mother. we know her father was a famous politician, a big member of congress elected five times, elected three times mayor of baltimore. her mother, who was known as big nancy as compared to her daughter little nancy, was a remarkable political force of her own, and organizer for her husband, a strategist, an entrepreneur, a small business woman, someone who like to bet on the ponies. she was a regular at pimlico. she was a risk taker. she was someone whose lessons are reflected in every stage of nancy pelosi's life and today are lessons she applies today as speaker of the house. host: what are the strengths she took away from each of her parents? guest: she took away her political ideology. she is in many ways the still -- in many way still the new deal democrat her father was, h

at this time, we would like to ask speaker nancy pelosi to make remarks. speaker pelosi: thank you, madam chair. there are many owners that are afforded to a member of congress, and certainly many more to a speaker of the house. but nothing surpasses the honor of being with the black caucus today, when we have seen a step in the right direction for justice done. earlier, around 3:00, i spoke to the family to say to them, thank you, god bless you for your grace and for your dignity, and the model that you are, appealing for justice in the most dignified way. they were in search of justice then, and now they see this giant step. but it is not over. they complemented the congressional black caucus for its role in all of this. they are eager to see karen bass 's george floyd justice in policing act passed and signed the president -- signed by the president into law. all of them, rodney and terrance the brothers, bridget, their sister, we all know ketta, a force of nature within the family. but gianna, his doctor, for gianna to see this justice on behalf of her

newt gingrich, dennis astor, and nancy pelosi. and i'm going to end up by talking about some policy implications of an expanded speaker ships -- expanded speakership. the power of the speaker of the house has become much more expensive. with that, let's dive in. why do we study house speaker's overtime? it helps us understand how congress operates today. it also gives us some insights on some current policy debates and why it is congress does some of the things it does in the way it does those things. let's talk about one of our early house speakers, henry clay. who is henry clay? he had several unsuccessful runs for president in 1824, 1832, and 1844. he also had two stents as speaker of the house. he served in the house, the first time from 1811 to 1820, and 1827 to 1830, not as house speaker. he also served in the senate three different times, 1805 to 1807, 1830 to 1843, and 1849 to 1853. he had a long history in american politics. he's a somewhat contradictory character. he was very much partisan, many people say that partisans

that's one of the skills nancy pelosi has brought to being a legislator.in aoc. she was once a pretty disruptive young protester, she says, marching in the streets. now she is a legislator determined to get things done. i think she sees some of these younger progressives as not being realistic, as being naive how you actually get things done and the compromises you sometimes have to make to get half a loaf in her view than getting no loaf at all. >> it sounds like that generational critique that many parents might make as well. i wonder what you think. let's just listen to it. this is how speaker pelosi reacted upon the news of derek chauvin being convicted of all three charges in the murder of george floyd. >> thank you, george floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice, for being there to call out to your mom. how heartbreaking was that, the call-out for your mom, i can't breathe. but because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice. >> you know, i th

so let's talk about nancy pelosi. so nancy pelosi, our current speaker has served in the us house since 1987. in answer two stints as speaker to house from 2007 to 2011 and then from 2019 to the president. so her reputation was for cutting deals. within her own caucus and for high levels of partisanship. and so in this respect in terms of cutting deals and high levels of partisanship. this sounds like a mixture a bit of some of the stuff that newt gingrich did in some of the stuff that is answered. and i think that'd be a pretty accurate description. but she departed from it in some significant place. so one way was that she pushed through earmark reform. so your march we're required to be disclosed three days ahead of any major vote in 2007. now in 2011 both the democratic and republican party caucuses past party rules to put a moratorium on earmarks in 2011. now after a decade and very recently as of the recording of this video earmarks come back into that in 2021 however, there are some significant limits such that
