>> pelosi: i have no idea. i have no idea. he may be whitewashing, but i don't know if he's covering anything up. there's no use having that discussion. all we need to do is see the mueller report. >> stahl: and asking for the president's tax returns? >> pelosi: it should not have taken this long for the president-- he said he was under audit. when i was in a-- i was going to a martin luther king breakfast in san francisco, and one of the waiters there said to me, "madam speaker, when the president says the mueller report's going on too long, just tell him, 'not as long as your audit'." ( laughter ) everybody has released their returns, and we will have legislation to say that everyone should-- must. but for the moment, he's been hiding-- so what's he hiding? ( applause ) >> stahl: she's just hit her 100th day as speaker. she recently called the president to ask for a meeting on infrastructure, but there's no sign that the gridlock that has plagued congress for years is easing. one of the complaints we've heard is that you don

speaker pelosi: you have to be prepared to take a punch. or prepared to throw a punch too. >> would you fix your tie, please? david: people wouldn't recognize me if my tie was fixed. alright. ♪ david: i don't consider myself a journalist. nobody else would consider myself a journalist. i began to take on the life of being an interviewer even though i have a day job of running a private equity firm. how do you define leadership? what is it that makes somebody tick? how do you compare the relative pleasure of being the first speaker who is a woman to capturing it again and being the first speaker in 60 years to recapture the speakership? speaker pelosi: when i was running for speaker, the last thing i could never say to someone was vote for me because we should have a woman. he just had to prove you would do the best job. when it turned out that i became the speaker, it was quite an overwhelming feeling that we had broken a marble ceiling in our country. the first meeting i ever went to as leader, not yet speaker but leader, was president bus

[laughter] speaker pelosi: mother, get a life. [laughter] speaker pelosi: this was 30 years ago.eard the expression before. get a life. my teenage girl would not want -- what teenage girl would not want her mother gone three nights a week. [laughter] david: so? so then when i go to washington, i said, we can all live together. they said mother, we love our , siblings. not only do we not want to live with you, we don't want to live with each other. [laughter] speaker pelosi: they are in college, so they live with their friends. so, you're in congress, we're in college. why don't you just forget we are in the same city? [laughter] speaker pelosi: boo-hoo. boo-hoo. david: it must have been a thrill. your father and mother were still alive when you are elected. they came to see you sworn in. is that right? speaker pelosi: my father was on the floor of the house when i was sworn in. that was pretty exciting. that was pretty exciting. then, he died a few months later. i was so lucky he was there to see that. and my mother was, too. did: you obviously enjoy the job. how many more years

speaker pelosi: i don't think that much coffee.id: sit down and have some chocolate or something like that. speaker pelosi: maybe a box of chocolate as a welcome gift. i --d to him, my kids and we made an agreement that if someone gives you a box of chocolate as an active sincerity, you open it and start eating the chocolate. otherwise, they think you are going to regift it. [laughter] speaker pelosi: since you mentioned chocolate, i could not resist. it is one of my passions. i have a good repoire with leader mcconnell because we were both appropriators. we can get along, even though we have major differences. david: in recent years, you have been vilified by the republicans and people of the right. in the most recent campaign, 132,000 ads were used just using your name. does this elevate you? [laughter] david: has this been so difficult for you to be vilified or do you take pride in the fact they recognize you are very powerful? speaker pelosi: my goddaughter told me -- hi, katie. katie sent me something on my phone that i read t

speaker pelosi: yeah.id: in the most recent campaign, 132,000 ads were used just using your name. does this elevate you? [laughter] david: has this been so difficult for you to be vilified or do you take pride in the fact they recognize you are very powerful? speaker pelosi: my goddaughter katie told me, she told me she was coming. hi, katie. katie sent me something on my phone that i read this morning. it said "your power is the reason your opponents come after you" or something like that. i do believe, and this is what i said, i have to set an example to other women not to the too shy about things and assert yourself, take credit, and the rest of that. if i were not effective, they would not be doing these ads. if they did not have -- [applause] speaker pelosi: i just know how to do this because that is what i was doing. i was legislating. i have a following in the country that supports me at the grassroots level and across the board, so they have to take me down. i have to show other women we are in an

pelosi: which part of the investigation? > -- ms. pelosi: the mueller investigation, no. we couldn't know that and shouldn't know that. now we're talking about an investigation that could end up in the courts. that's not where we go. >> it's been interesting to see how democrats have handled it, including you. most of your leadership, including you, have talked much morrow bustly about your agenda -- more robustly about your agenda than these investigations. you've tried to focus and democrats have tried to focus much more on your legislative agenda than the vegs and i'm curious what you see -- investigations and i'm curious what you see the politics behind that. ms. pelosi: it's not a question of politics. it's what we said we would do when we ran for office. we said we would be for the people. lower health care costs, by -- bigger paychecks, cleaner government. that's the agenda we have brought to the congress. winning the election enabled us to do other things like pass h.r. 8 which is the gun safety background checks legislation, which we're very proud to have passed.

speaker pelosi: they said -- let me say this.ala says to me you have to me feel better if you would run. i said i have never even thought about running for office. i am side. -- shy. i said i will go home and talk to my kids. i have one at home -- alexandra. i said mommy has the opportunity to run for congress. i do not know if i will win. i have the opportunity to run for congress. i love my life. i love being with you. becauseant me to stay , otherwise iasier will be gone three nights a week. so, any answer is fine. i honestly mean that. yes, no, i am happy either way. mother -- i knew i was in trouble then -- mother, get a life. i had never heard the expression before. get a life. my teenage girl -- what teenage girl would not want her mother gone three nights a week? then when i go to washington i said we can all live together and they were like, mother we love our siblings. not only do we not want to live with you, we don't want to live with each other. they are in college so they live with their friends. you are in congress

>> pelosi: yeah. yes, that's one week.>> stahl: it's not exactly an accident that nancy pelosi became speaker, given how she grew up. politics was the family business. her father, thomas d'alesandro, was a congressman from baltimore, and then the mayor. >> pelosi: i was born into a family that was devoutly catholic, deeply patriotic and staunchly democratic. >> stahl: she got married right after college to paul pelosi, an investment banker, and had five children in six years. >> pelosi: thank you very much, mr. speaker. >> stahl: at age 46, she was drafted to run for congress, and won, in 1987, when there were only 23 women in the house. >> jim wright: do you solemnly swear... ? >> stahl: when there were only 23-- did any of the big bulls-- >> pelosi: yes. >> stahl: the men-- it was a men's club, obviously. >> pelosi: yes. >> stahl: --encourage you to run for leadership, to lift your head up? >> pelosi: you have to understand-- when there are only 23, men are not threatened by the women in congress, you understand? they're

pelosi: no, no, no, no. they have gotten the authority to subpoena. >> the house oversight committee served someone with a subpoena. ms. pelosi: you were listing a whole list of things. >> there are a whole list of things that happened. yesterday the authorization of the mueller report subpoena, and the chairman requesting the tax returns of the president. are you concerned that this is playing to the republicans' narrative -- ms. pelosi: no, i am not. my chairmen, they've been very thoughtful. they're evidence-baseded in what -- evidence-based in what they're doing. they're honor the constitution of the united states, article i, the legislative branch, which has oversight responsibility over the other branches of government. >> madam speaker, do you think that robert mueller, the special counsel, should testify before congress? ms. pelosi: i am not going into that. i think they should release the report. that's where the evidence is -- the information is. let's see the report. if they don't have anything to

[applause] speaker pelosi: mr. speaker, mr. president, members of the very distinguished, crucial body of this crucial time. it is my great honor to address you in this historic institution in this 100th year of its founding. thank you for your invitation to join in the festivities. on behalf of the american people, it is my privilege to deliver the well wishes of our nation as you mark this extraordinary century and to extend congratulations to the dail from the congress of the united states. i am deeply honored to have the privilege as speaker to address you today, and i am also honored to have so many of our colleagues with us today. the dail eireann is the same as -- the people's house, same as the house of representatives in the united states, the people's house. when president kennedy, the first american president to visit ireland while in office addressed you all, he declared our two nations are divided by distance but have been united by history. i am proud to visit again with a distinguished delegation of leading membe

pelosi: obviously we are here to do something for the american people. we have said all along we are not for the people agenda that we ran on, that we were there to lower the cost of health care for the american people by lowering cost up restriction drugs and we hope to work with the president on that. we said we are there to lower health care costs, bigger paychecks by building the infrastructure of america and -- in a green and futuristic way. the first two we think we can work with the president on. while we may have difficulties in other areas. we cannot ignore the needs of the american people as we go forward. >> [indiscernible] you can ask the same question. >> right after the midterms, the -- do you get the sense that has passed? what is a bigger priority for democrats? investigating the president or -- rep. pelosi: our priority is to honor the constitution of the united states, to meet the needs of the american people, and to honor the oath of office. i will yield. >> let me just say, in previous meetings, the president has said if these investi

pelosi: no. you can ask the same question of the senate leadership. >> right after the mid terms the president said he wouldn't be able to work with you if you are simultaneously investigating him. what is a bigger priority for democrats, investigating the president? >> our priority is to honor our responsibilities under the constitution of the united states to meet the needs of the american people and to honor our ath of office. senator schumer: in previous meetings, the president has said if these investigations continue i can't be working with you. he didn't bring it up. we can come up with some good ideas on infrastructure and we want to hear his ideas on funding. that's going to be the crucial point in my opinion. and the house and the senate can proceed in its oversight responsibilities. the two are not mutually exclusive and we are glad he didn't make it that way. we'll take one more. ms. pelosi: you all turned into shouters. senator schumer: last question. ms. pelosi: i'll take one from a

pelosi: good morning, everyone. may i sadly convey condolences to our friends at "the hill" and all of you and the family of vicky needham. what a sad thing. to learn of her passing. i know she's your colleague on the hill. i know her family needs our prayers. and i just wanted to extend my condolences. yesterday we had a big day on the hill to observe the 70th anniversary of nato. with a joint session, to hear from the secretary general, stoltenberg. secretary general of nato. he talked about how successful nato had been. gave us a chance to say thank you to him for his leadership and to nato for being the force for peace that it has continued to be. i was very pleased that we had strong bipartisan invitation and support for his visit. a continuation of that demonstration of support for our transatlantic relationship, as he said yesterday, the atlantic ocean does not separate us, it unifies us. just a month ago many of us were in munich for the munich security conference. 51 house and senate democrats and republica

pelosi: i think it is good. mitch mcconnell -- our main must pass legislation is the appropriations bill and we will pass in a bipartisan way. and in a way that is according to time, on time, and that is an accomplishment. we will do that in a bipartisan way. the senator has now said that he wanted to talk about immigration. if what we read in the press is accurate. hopefully, it has some basis in fact. we will find out. i do think there is plenty room for bipartisanship as i've said before and i will say again. the president has said that he wants to do an infrastructure bill. so do we. we are making progress as to what the parameters of that would be. timewise and financially. the president has said that he wants to lower the cost of prescription drugs. now we are onto to two of our top priorities. lower the prescription drug cost, building and fractured to build paychecks, bigger paychecks for our country, so we have prioritized in a way that is bipartisan. that is bipartisan. i am not sure they are intereste

looks like nancy pelosi is articulating for democrats. is it fair to say impeachment proceeding that will not be called an impeachment proceeding, will not have an impeachment vote but will have all of the investigative effects of one? >> yeah, some ways seems like impeachment by any other name, right? there is an important difference though. for one thing calling it impeachment has a different effect in terms of the legal stature that the house would hold if they have to go to court, for instance, to get a hold of documents. if they need to sue bill barr for the unredacted report, they would have a stronger argument if they say we're exercising impeachment authority under the constitution than if they say we're exercising routine oversight authority. that's one difference. largely as a matter of politics, no, feels like an impeachment hearing, looks like impeachment hearing, the question is whether it leads to impeachment. at the moment, odds would seem long for that. nancy pelosi understands you can only win in the senate if you have 20

nancy pelosi says let's hold on, do investigations and see where they lead us.e oftentimes say she's like mitch mcconnell in a way. she is able to drown out the noise, see what she needs to do and finds a way to get there without shaking, without getting shook, without getting nervous. >> trevor: right. >> i mean, i think the other thing you can see in this democratic primary is our book details the messiness of the republicans, from the freedom caucus to the more established republicans, that's what's happening now for democrats. you have the establishment for democrats and then the bernie wing, and democrats are trying to figure out what is the future of the party. >> trevor: it's an exciting journey you've painted and, honestly, for me, it's like you've turned congress into almost a "game of thrones" book. so congratulations. wonderful having you both on the show. thank you so much for being here. ( cheers and applause ) "the hill to die on: the battle for congress and the future of trump's america" is available now. subscribe to politico ploob pla. thank you

speaker pelosi has said she's ready. as chair of the committee, i'm ready, but there's no communication from the white house to talk about what it is they want. in terms of policy. their interpretation has create. the metering process, the return to mexico, the taking of foreign aid dollars from the northern triangle countries, all of those things have created just what we have. but democrats are ready to work. it's just that as soon as the president -- tweets -- we can't do anything, because the republicans are frozen in time, because they are reluctant to engage democrats when they see the president on a different note. >> all right. congressman bennie thompson, appreciate you joining us this morning. >>> i want to get to breaking news, everybody. on that college admissions scandal that roped in both the wealthy and famous actress lori loughlin and her husband. they've pled not guilty. nbc news reporter tom winters joins us. i thought you were bringing me something else with regards to the mueller report. nervous here.

sources say during the call pelosi told her fellow lawmakers say we have to save our democracy. this isn't about democrats or republicans, it's about saving our democracy, adding if it's what we need to do to honor our responsibility to the constitution, if that's the place the facts take us that's the place we have to go. pelosi rejected calls from several democrats to begin the process to remove president trump saying saving the democracy does not necessarily constitute impeachment. telling her colleagues this. we don't have to go to articles of impeachment to obtain facts. the presentation of facts. in a letter to democrats sent earlier in the day pelosi wrote while our views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a

has a responsibility of oversight of our democracy and we will exercise that. >> reporter: nancy pelosi has been skeptical of impeachment in the past saying president trump is "not worth it". the nu 2e house told cnn that impeachment is not worthwhile at this point. we may have an answer soon. nancy pelosi sent a letter to congressional democrats saying the caucus is setting up a conference call for monday to discuss this grave matter. a law professor says the real question in impeachment is whether the president is paper office. under thatstandard,much evidenc attempted obstruction, so much evidence of dysfunction in the white house that you could easily put together a package. >> reporter: even if trump is impeached in the house, the senate would have to vote to remove the president from office.

nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell in the senate, et cetera. if you have questions, we will take your comments as well, over the past two years. this is the book, "the hill to die on." before paul ryan gets to that fork in the road, he makes a phone call to mitch mcconnell about whether or not he can stay with mr. trump. anna: it is pretty stunning when you think about it that right before the election, he is not going to let his members say do what you need to do to win, but he considered making a public announcement that he was not with the president. he was so offended by the hollywood tape and what was happening and mitch mcconnell said don't do that. it felt like that would have been the end of the republican party and it felt like they needed to be with this president because he was going to be the party nominee. host: talk about the relationship between mitch mcconnell and this president. how often do they talk. they spoke a lot and mitch mcconnell went up to trump tower days after the election. early decembers 2016, and convinced the pr

here we have to give nancy pelosi credit.t in saying that the typical democrat voter is not nearly as extreme as these democrat socialists like aoc. the "the new york times" actually reported on some interesting data that came out saying basically what you see on social media, believe it or not, from people on the left is not reflective of the average democrat. they are far more moderate. but the problem for nancy pelosi is that it is the alexandria ocasio-cortezs who are heading up aleatingup all of the media n and -- elizabeth: stay on that point. is this a medial manufactured problem? have they created the rise of the hard left when it's just there on social media and the voters out there are saying wait a second, ea we're not interestd in their policy. the media is reacting to their social media followers but when you look at how the voters are reacting? >> i think the media play as large role in lifting up the voices that are not representative of mainstream democrats. and this is not only a problem now for nancy pelosi

pelosi: good morning, everyone. may i sadly convey condolences to our friends at "the hill" and all of you and the family of vicky needham. what a sad thing. to learn of her passing. i know she's your colleague on the hill. i know her family needs our

nancy pelosi and house leadership did not want to pursue impeachment. to a large extent, the large parts of congressman swalwell's caucus still doesn't want to pursue impeachment, but the president by pushing -- by not just having obstructed justice already on the plain meaning of what obstruction is as laid out in the mueller report, he's still obstructing justice by trying to say, no, because congress is partisan, which is what he says to costa. he says they're partisan, so i can't cooperate with them. by defying the subpoenas, by provoking this constitutional clash, by doing the things he's doing, he is making it impossible for democrats not to impeach him, whereas if he had played this smart over the course of the last few days, he was aligned with nancy pelosi. neither wanted impeachment. now he's making it more likely with every move that he's making. >> what about that, congressman? is the president's decision tonight forcing -- in effect forcing your committee to consider impeachment in a quicker timetable than you might have? >> i think it show

house speaker nancy pelosi was just asked about the possibility of impeachment. listen to what she just said at the time 100 event in new york. >> i do believe that impeachment is one of the most divisive forces path that we could go down to in our country. but if the facts, the path of fact-findi fact-finding takes us there, we have no choice. but we're not there yet. >> this is notable, phil, after seeing how the split emerged among the democratic presidential candidates when it came to impeachment questions at last night's cnn town hall. >> no question about it. the politics of this are complex. the reality of what democrats are facing, both on capitol hill and on the campaign trail is a little bit complex. but i think what this underscores more than anything else is first and foremost, speaker pelosi hasn't changed her position and she's been saying this for a couple of months. before the release of the mueller report and after the release of the redacted mueller report. there is a couple of things to consider when you listen to what the speaker is saying. on

is nancy pelosi calling it defensible?less whether you know him personally or how he acts, there is a huge gap in understanding these actions. even though they are not sexual advances, they are very disrespectful. >> this is the issue, though. >> it is not going to discourage him from running. >> there is a group trying to say, look while you are ahead, don't embarrass yourself. you have republicans jumping on the band wagon. there is a generational gap. >> it is a cop out to call it a generational gap. we have people in politics over 70, over 80 even. it is a lack of getting into 2019 mindset. >> speaking of witch, ironically, other old guy in the race people are blaming, bernie sanders had good news. they raised whopping 18.2 million dollars first quarter of the presidential race. could fundraising be another problem for the former vp. >> that is definitely an issue. joe biden may have fallen prey to the hilary clinton syndrome. he is something assumed because he was ahead in the polls which had to do with name recogniti

the president gives particularly to nancy pelosi.licans had lost, he would say, he was willing to get her the votes to make her speaker that he thought she deserved it, i think she looks him straight in the eye and doesn't blink. that's something he respects. >> so many people believe he hates strong women. nancy pelosi is someone who hasn't gotten a nickname. how do you square that circle? >> part of that is because he's northern them for a really long time. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi have more in common with the president than paul ryan or mitch mcconnell. >> the last quote in the book where donald trump says democrats are terrible in policy. but they stick together. i think to be honest with you, he's befuddled by nancy pelosi and how she can keep her party together when his party is all over the place all the time. >> let's read another quote about pelosi. you're someone that gets things done better than everybody. i think you're terrific, that was in my developer life, my business life, if he wants to get stuff done with pel

nancy pelosi used the call to speak to her membership. nbc news is reporting house democratic leaders promised oversight and investigations but would not commit to impeachment proceedings. president trump clearly has impeachment on his mind. this morning he posted this, quote, only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment. there were no crimes by me, no collusion, no obstruction so you can't impeach. it was the democrats that committed the crime, not your republican president. tables are finally turning on the witch hunt. not long after that during today's white house easter egg roll, that's him on the left, he was asked about the mueller report and impeachment. >> thank you. >> a staffer -- >> nobody disobeys my orders. >> are you worried about impeachment, mr. president? >> not even a little bit. >> as to that first answer about disobeying orders erin blake of "the washington post" found 15 instances of trump aides and allies declining to carry out trump's requests. nearly a dozen are detailed in the mueller report including

reporter: pelosi said she will not use the u.s. bargaining chip to get something and she said -- mr. mccarthy: fantastic. schedule the floor. reporter: she will go to a side agreement. how optimistic [indiscernible] mr. mccarthy: i know from our side of the aisle, we will do our part and we are ready to move forward with it. we think it's positive for the entire country and also positive for our partners who we trade with. it is one of the promises that the president said he would do, that he would modernize the nafta agreement. i think it's a win-win for all, and i think it would be a big success for our economy as well. reporter: and likely to get approved? mr. mccarthy: you know what, if i was in the majority, i'd give you a 100% yes. unfortunately, we don't have 218 on our side. i haven't watched the democrats pass major legislation yet. i will promise them we will give them our help to be able to move it forward. she controls the floor. she can schedule it and we can get it through. yes. reporter: is there a situation in which

marie, this sounds like an outdated set of talking points and nancy pelosi using. upset some women in the party? >> marie: it's interesting, the polls that have been done since these allegations, joe biden is still in first place. and he hasn't even announced yet. what we thought -- there was this great "new york times" study about democratic voters this week. i think it's really instructive for people, that the democratic electorate out there is much more moderate. i would even say conservative in some ways, than the democratic commentariat on twitter. that we hear from and gets a lot of attention. real democratic voters are actually much more moderate. they are in enough numbers out there that they can decide the next nominee. that is why i think, in part, you still see someone like joe biden at the top. nancy pelosi is right -- i would love to have women on the ticket. i would love to have men. i just want someone who can beat donald trump and that's where most voters are today. >> harris: do you think it still joe biden? the most likely to beat donald trump, fr

pelosi doesn't mince words. she never has.he has a very direct and determined approach. >> i feel like the takeaway is she's not having it. >> at all of the i feel like that comes as a woman maybe. we draw the line and she has clearly drawn the line. >> interesting with barr, he's at the center of all of this. and she's been clearer than almost anyone earlier about putting the heat on him. obviously she has the strategy for that. we've had a lot of stuff in the show tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> up ahead, the infamous cain train. a big update, next. a big update, next ...caused liver damage. epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa is your kind of cure. i had the common type. mine was rare. epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. i just found out about my hepatitis c. i knew for years. epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up and could cau

are we watching pelosi who has made up her mind? or are we watching pelosi who is always practical and handed on that position but will see what else happens. >> i think she's directing her colleagu colleagues, in this case, jerry nadler and others to do their job. to bring the relative parties in. to fully vet this report and if you havy get to the bottom of it. >> so it's with love that i note you're not answering the question and you're not even in congress anymore. you can answer the question of the. >> the speaker, whom i know you respect a lot, is she possibly going to move toward impeachment in your view? >> i think it will lead where it leads. there are impeachable offenses which i believe that there are. that it may lead all that. it won't happen tomorrow. in a very long time. it will take some time. what i do know nancy pelosi believes in. she believes in elections, that they have consequences. and that the best way to beat donald trump. >> that the speaker, like all speakers, sees her number one job as maintaining the maj

oh, boy, i guess she decides, not nancy pelosi.idea that we can go back to the good old days with obama, with obama as president my think there is an emotional element to that. i don't want to go back. i want to go forward. >> sean: the reaction of skybridge capital, rachel with us, good to see you, man? >> good to be here. >> sean: so many things. >> anthony: where do you want to start? aoc out of new york asap. secondarily, nancy pelosi whose daughter said she could cut somebody's throat without them feeling it will take her out. i don't think there's any chance -- >> sean: not only extremism party but scared to death of the five. >> anthony: i don't know about that. >> seanremarkably successful sur in washington and old school. this sort of behavior come i don't think will last very long. that is my honest opinion. they will find somebody to challenge her in that district. she will not come back but somebody more moderate will take her out. she destroyed herself with the amazon thing. she is colorful. she's got interesting ways

many of them pledged themselves to vote against pelosi in order to win. >> pelosi has a 70% approvalating. >> i'm not disputing the fact that she's doing a good job right now. we're talking about the future. >> and she's beloved within the party. the part of prem you don't agree with is the idea that you were channelling a ground swell of anger and upset about pelosi being a problem within the democratic party. >> the fact of the matter is it changed. there was a ground swell for that change before the election and then it changed afterwards. a lot of people changed their position. a lot of people in the party said now i'm not against her. a lot of people called me and others in the group, including a lot of women, there were women at the forefront of this movement as well, kathleen rice, marcia fudge, who were leading this group as well. and said we want change. after the election they said, okay, we're fine with her. look, i stick to my guns. i don't just talk about new leadership, i fight for it. i think that will make me a stronger nominee if i'm chosen to take on trump. but the

what's very interesting is what nancy pelosi has said for decades. show me your budget, show me your values. this is a new majority that does not pass bills, passes resolutions, and now won't do a budget, and we know we have a crisis on our hands. we know we have sequestration if action is not taken, so i always think it's appropriate that we sit down together to try to solve this. nfortunately it goes to seem different. yes, sir. reporter: pelosi said she will not use the u.s. bargaining chip to -- mr. mccarthy: fantastic. schedule the floor. reporter: she will go to a side agreement.
