nancy pelosi would say the same thing. you kind of grow and think about from the losses and the tough situations more than other situations. and the victories so susan and i are very happy. sara asked me if i would moderate and i said susan page? and talking about nancy pelosi this is definitely my will house. i wrote a book about the experiences of working for hillarynd and she proclaims it's not a declaration of war to follow a man's path. and that's what just something about her is about. there's just something about her i don't like it sometimes there's just something about her that's incredible and for nancy pelosi i saw something about her that is incredible and incredibly effective. we talked about this and in her discussion of "madam speaker" to talk to about what makes her so effective. she's incredibly effective and even john boehner her faux house republicans beat your john boehner said she was the best speaker ever. so i thought we'd look at three categories in a multi-q&a with the audience. one isea role model

i'm talking about nancy pelosi. this is definitely my wheelhouse i i wrote a book called dear madam president sort of based off of the experiences. i worked learning learned working for hillary and second book. she proclaims our declaration of independence from a man's world. it's not a declaration of war. just don't see any reason we need to continue to follow a man's path and that is what just something about her is about right that you hear the set about women. there's just something about her. i don't like sometimes it's there's just something about her. that's incredible. and for nancy pelosi, there's i've just something about her that is incredible and incredibly effective um and susan i talked about this and thought that for our discussion of madam speaker to start with the question of what makes her so effective. she's incredibly effective and even john boehner her, you know foe house republican speaker john bainer said she was probably the most effective speaker ever, right? so i thought we would look start

the thing with nancy pelosi.eople in certain other parties, no matter how much you present the facts, you will get the gap, but, like you just hit. the national guard did not need to be called at all. with a single tweet from trump he could have stopped the violence before they broke into the capital. years ago i was able to have debates with friends who were republicans and we would go back and forth and at the end of the day we were still friends. if you argue with a republican now, they break up families, they broke up relationships. trumps damage to this country goes far past january 6. host: jackie in trenton, missouri. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? the problem i have with this whole situation is when you look at the committee conducting this hearing, most of them are the same ones that were on the impeachment trial. another problem i have, you keep hearing integrity used a lot. where is the integrity when you have nancy pelosi, maxine waters and others calling on people to take to the str

you have spoker nancy pelosi and her husband's stock trades, right?ng off of biden's government positions. this is just the tip of the iceberg? >> i think that is what the grand jury needs to be investigating but i also think is what congress needs to be investigating. and so far with democratically controlled congress, they have found to have, be having no interests whatsoever into leaking at this. elizabeth: no interest. it is clear the biden family, they like infrastructure deals. they like energy deals, right? in places like china, ukraine, kazakhstan. cefc, massive conglomerate in china big infrastructure player to dominate world energy. chinese communist party is backed by it, they got nearly five million dollars of payments from cefc. july 2019 report, hunter and a chinese official talked about business opportunities with cefc for inside the united states. a 40 million-dollar joint venture to produce natural gas in louisiana and infrastructure deals in colombia. >> all of that, this brings up very serious questions. boy, you know, very odd coin

nancy pelosi confuses public service with self-service.s of congress, harris, 66 failed to report their stock transfers and transactions as they are required to do. >> harris: is that bipartisan, too? >> bipartisan. dianne feinstein, representative jamie raskin who is defending the democracy every day out there. 1.5 million dollar transfer he failed to report and others he was late in reporting. it is not one party. it is both parties. but look, pelosi and her husband look very bad doing this. the man invested $5 million in microsoft suddenly and the army announces a new head gear deal for $29 billion two weeks later. coincidence? you decide. this is hard to ferret out and prove, harris that there is double dealing but there is no doubt it looks bad, it is time for a ban. if you want to be in public service in congress or the white house, you have to put your stuff in a blind trust end of story. >> harris: with a couple minutes left al gore taking heat for comparing crime at denearest. >> climate deniers are really in some ways similar to

i saw bert enter varsity blues, the white house with the public dispute with nancy pelosi enter plan speaker nancy last week she would visit solidarity with the u.s. backed republic prompting president biden to warn her that his advisors don't think it's a good idea. maybe he is right taiwan take day held drills in preparation for any chinese military action is the conflict about to pop off and should know know nancy say yes to a visit instead of tp deny on her husband paul who had his own troubles of late. i think she should go. >> i think she should go to i like that she's been stubborn about this. i think she should go and tell biden to blow off in biden is in a bind because china is ramping up aggression because they saw a catastrophic failure and people falling off airplanes, that embolden vladimir putin in china is sitting there taking notes over the whole thing. , i applied pelosi, i think he is good and i hope he doesn't back out of it and i'm kind of expecting. i'm kind of wondering why the white house as opposed to the so strongly i'm wondering what china has on biden, mayb
