he got along with pelosi pelosi wanted to do business. that's true. he thought that they could they hadn't been able to pass an infrastructure package and he thought that they would have a better chance of passing an infrastructure bill with pelosi as speaker then republicans in control that turned out to be true. yeah much later different president, i think because she wasn't on the impeachment train. he thought she was going to protect him and she was not interested in patient when she was very reluctant to impeachment, but she was no friend of donald trump and she was for two years in the minority incredibly effective at playing a very we can against trump and then when she got the majority she was very effective in playing a much stronger hand against donald trump. we'll take questions from the audience now. we have a microphone in the middle. folks up and start doing that. she's got a question. yeah, great. now my niece brought her here. i just want to be totally transparent hear me. okay, i just want projects gonna be? well, thank y

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

my own view is that speaker pelosi should not go. the reason - pelosi should not go.sit to actually enhancing taiwan's interests. most of us are fans of taiwan want to see the long—term preservation of the taiwan status quo, and that is going to be achieved by a bunch of other measures from the united states, its partners, friends and allies. in a taiwanese itself, including taiwan's indigenous defence, bringing in a crisis early by what is essentially a symbolic visit, i don't think helps. so, hopefully by the time these two leaders speak, the matter is resolved, but if it's not, then it will inevitably be a focus of this summit. this is only the third virtual summit with these two leaders since president biden took office. it would be unfortunate if it was derailed by this symbolic visit by the united states speaker. has the us got itself into a medal now whereby if speaker pelosi doesn't go to taiwan, the us looks weak? to doesn't go to taiwan, the us looks weak? ., , ., ., ,, weak? to be fair to the us administration, _ weak? to be fair to the us administration, i

time i don't think speaker pelosi's - at this time i don't think. speaker pelosi's objective businesse believe this may be her last term serving as speaker. there is certainly a possibility that the republicans will be the majority and the upcoming elections at the end of this year, and nancy pelosi has been a champion of human rights in china, of course, for many years during the 1989 massacre. she was very critical of china. she was very critical of china. she has spoken out criticising china's practices in hong kong, so i think she feels strongly about supporting democracy in taiwan. she is not the only member of congress who feels that way. i think also the administration whether under donald trump orjoe biden, there is growing support in the united states for taiwan and its democracy, but i think there are some questions about whether this is the right time for nancy pelosi to go or indeed whether she should go at all. she is the second in line for a succession to the presidency, and there has not been a trip named by the speaker of house to taiwan for 25 years. speaker of house

well, i don't think that speaker pelosi _ time? well, i don't think that speaker pelosi has _ time? think that speaker pelosi has yet - time? well, i don't think that speaker pelosi has yet told . speaker pelosi has yet told anyone what her object of is in this visit but many people believe that this may be her last term serving as speaker. there certainly is a possibility that the republicans will be the majority, will win the majority in the upcoming elections at the end of this year and nancy pelosi has been a champion of human right in china, of course for many years during the tiananmen massacre, she was very critical of china, spoken out criticising china's practices and inactionjang and hong kong, so i think she feels strongly about supporting democracy in hong kong, she is not the only member of congress that feels that way and also the administration whether under donald trump orjoe biden, there is growing support in the united states for taiwan and its democracy, but i think there are some questions about whether this is the right time for nancy pelosi to go or indeed whet

speaker pelosi: what do you want to negotiate? >> some senators have said that this bill -- senators murkowski and collins, for instance, have said that congresswoman choose bill goes too far. speaker pelosi: we are not going to negotiate a woman's right to choose. senator makowski and senator collins may have their view, but it is not a view that is one about a woman's having the right to decide. we're not negotiating that, no. >> are you in discussions with the white house on any further executive actions that can be taken if this bill can't get past the senate again? speaker pelosi: people don't like it when we say vote. in 100 days, people will be voting. fewer than 100 days. people will be voting and we have to elect a couple more senate democratic senators so that we can get around the filibuster so that we can pass legislation that truly that , truly impacts a woman's right to choose. but there is not a halfway measure, can't be a little bit pregnant in this. it has to be a real measure that protects a woman's right to choo
