i think some are sexist when it comes to nancy pelosi. nancy pelosi is a pioneer and a powerful woman. who knows? maybe she is jealous. >> tucker: i don't traffic in things like sexist. it's a stereotype don't you think to suggest that linda sanchez is jealous? >> i don't know why you would make that comment. it doesn't make sense. nancy pelosi is not a liability and her caucus supports her, why would she be there. linda's comments make no sense whatever. here are the numbers. after 2006 election. midway through bush's second term. pelosi became the speaker. they had 233 seats in the house of representatives. the democrats have 194 seats in the house and democrats lost over 1,000 across the country with pelosi as the visible leader of their party. maybe that suggests abject failure? >> the numbers show that politics can be sexist. this nation has 51% but 20% of congress. 20% in the house and 20% in the senate. now we have 23 cabinent members and 4 that are women. less than ever. half than with president obama. women are not necessarily ma

this is to reiterate what nancy pelosi said, sabotaging obamacare. but if you want to play politics and he's the president, he has every right, but does he have a better plan that ensures more people, that lowers costs for americans and protects them? and harris, i think that is the problem. he doesn't think that, he thinks that he can claim a political victory and it's all about that. >> kennedy: i like you and i think you're a good person. it's not personal. but you are completely off-base here. nancy pelosi is such a hypocrite when she talks about i don't know what senate, but the president's sabotaging obamacare. obamacare is sabotaged health care and insurance in this country. it sucker punched people by forcing them to pay for insurance for sick people. that's what the exchange is, forcing healthy people to buy plans they don't want and don't need to pay for sick people. >> juan: here the concept. you have a risk pool and everybody jumps in the pool. >> kennedy: you can call it whatever you want. it's of ponzi scheme. >> juan: here's a ponzi sc

where are you, nancy? >> kennedy: nancy pelosi was using the dreamers. she takes them for granted. she's going to have their votes and their friends votes, whoever has already attained label citizenship and therefore, she dismisses. >> harris: that's why they bum-rush the electorate when she was out there. let's talk about the inclusion of the border wall in the president's plans here. >> david: is an issue that americans have said they wanted. it's something that we voted on in 2006 and said we were going to do it but this plan is so much more than just the wall. it's getting more i.c.e. agents, getting more lawyers, and this is really a moment of truth not only for democrats, but was stuck about specific democrats. joe mansion, jon tester, claire mccaskill, all of those democrats who are up in 2018 and states that favor these policies were going to have to go to voters and talk about what they did to make america more secure and are they going to go with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer or they going to go with their constituents? >> kennedy: one quick thing to what katie said whic

now, nancy pelosi has been in office since the reagan administration. fellow democrat leader james cly born been around since bill clinton's first term. watch. >> i think that it's time to pass the torch to a new generation. they are all of the same generation and again, their contributions to the congress and the caucus are substantial but i think there comes a time when you need to pass that torch and i think that it's time. >> liz: joining me now he is the leading light in the republican party advised many presidents look whose here ed rollins. >> thaw mice to be with you. >> liz: what do you think time for a change in the democrat party? >> there's no question. i think nancy pelosi and i go back to our days in the san francisco politics. she had a retired msnbc and do what i do and make commentary and she is an extraordinary fundraiser and to a certain extent that's why she survived. the party desperately needs new leadership and go from the congressional front and support non-presidential. >> liz: but nancy pelosi is stopping it so is chuck schumer

>> i think nancy pelosi will remain leader as long as she wants to either. she's in a remarkable person, i have enjoyed working with her for a long time. she keeps the admiration of so many of her colleagues. >> harris: do you need change? >> we will see. simon rosenberg, thank you very much. president trump is dealing a major blow to one of the most controversial aspects of obamacare. according to one a member our panel, the power panel is nothing but an intentional distraction on the part of the white house. we will talk about it. ♪ hungry eyes ♪ one look at you and i can't disguise ♪ ♪ i've got hungry eyes ♪ applebee's 2 for $20. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood.

if it's not nancy pelosi who has a record of being able to do as good a job as she does? >> and who runs like a feeder school for people to run for public office. she's got that daughter of hers that runs almost like they do in the army. >> boot camp. >> nancy has that structure. she was state party chair in california. she led the effort to make sure the state stayed democratic forever. she then moved into the place following the death and more than 20 years ago she put the operation together. for anybody to suggest that age has somehow dulled her ability and skill, they're simply wrong. she has never been a rock star. she never will be a rock star. that's not her strong suit. >> now, we have heard of the new deal, contract with america. >> right. >> do you know the name of the democrats' new plan. >> no, i don't. >> nobody does. that's the problem. it's actually called a better deal but it's been an incredibly forget able roll out. everything about it is not setting the world on fire. >> need to work on the marketing for that. >> there is certainly room to improve for t

nancy pelosi is 77 years old. her top leadership team includes both of whom are around her age or closer to pelosi's age. that has been something that we saw flare up around the leadership race earlier in the year. there was some unexpected challenges to pelosi's role at the top of the caucus. i think what you're seeing reflected here is a real deep frustration that there has not been any turn over or any opportunity to make a real mark and there's also concerns that nancy pelosi's change is a liability for democrats running in the 2018 midterm elections. it has been shown that that's the case. it is part of the flip side of that argument. i will say democrats privately are not pulling any punches behind the scenes as they talk about this. there are suggestions sanchez only won by one vote, that she is barely hanging on, that it could spark backlash from the congressional hispanic caucus. two groups have been strongly allied. >> and i thought it was really interesting that one of the folks that we talked to immedi

party leaders such as nancy pelosi are keeping the door open to a government shutdown after the trump administration came out with a wish list that would accompany any deal on dreamers, including calls for a border wall and cracking down on sanctuary cities. she called the proposed members of a "nonstarter." "i fully intend to use every possibility but we are not at that place yet. right now we are trying to get republicans to vote on what we believe in." let's bring in our power panel. a republican pollster and columnist for the "washington examiner," welcome. and back from the "outnumbered" couch today, jessica tarlov. welcome to you both. i want to talk with you first about this, jessica. when you talk about nancy pelosi saying she hasn't gotten to the point of the end yet, how do you defend a sanctuary city? >> i think you defend a sanctuary city by going back to what the original intention was, toreate an envirment i which legal aliens could come out of the shadows and work with law enforcement to get the bad guys. sanctuary cities have turned into another thing altogether, there

that's up to the house democrats i think nancy pelosi has done a great job unifying the caucus she is a much better negotiator than paul ryan she will end up at the end of this year probably with perhaps more democratic compliments in a negotiation but then there are obviously very divide that is these difficult to heal i mean we've been talking about this in california if we don't heal the divide in the party between the people who being blocked from rising up the hierarchy because of these people like nancy pelosi i guess and i say they're not blocking the rise of a new generation but there are so many great leaders in the house democratic caucus right now if you look at what's happening on line and social media and t.v. and blogs seth moulton and jason kennedy a win but joe kennedy jr kathleen clark these are phenomenal leaders in the party who have a very strong voice you know again and i have to say i think people who are fixated on having internal battles as you just mentioned a minute ago isn't it time to move past the internal battles to me i think the answer is let's focus on

let's keep nancy pelosi. she is smart. she is great at what she does. the players on her team want her to lead the team. they want her to be the captain. the dnc chair supports her. the chairman supports her. her caucus supports her. >> tucker: but in real life, look, she held her democrats together for the healthcare vote in the first obama term. that was impressive. i agree with that. >> very, very. republicans can't do that. >> tucker: you are right. she lost historic number of seats for doing that she did a good job there. she has had no victory since then. you know as well as i, i talked to a congressman about it today. she is not going to get to 218. if democrats win in the midterm she is not going to be reelected speaker because she has failed again and again and again. >> everyone in d.c. knows that those losses cannot be blamed solely on nancy pelosi. >> tucker: not solely. >> so many other factors that play into that. >> tucker: okay. i mean, look, pulling the woman card is a little bit weird to me since we live in a moment where we're told as

i want to play an clip with nancy pelosi. you up spoke to her about bob corker's exchange, nasty exchange he had with the president of the united states, especially some of his concern that his policies could lead to world war iii. let's play this clip. >> a lot of heads were turning in washington this week about the exchange between senator bob corker, who is a republican and chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and the president, in which corker described the white house has an adult daycare center and said that he was concerned that the president might be leading us to world war iii with his intemperance. >> a daycare center where the director was off that day. >> yes, you followed the -- >> i thought it was quite interesting that a senior republican leader in the senate would say that about his -- >> do you share that concern? >> about what? >> about the president's temperament and what the implications are in terms of the world? world war iii, that's a pretty significant -- >> that's a big charge. there wou

i don't think nancy pelosi is shaking too much in her boots. she does still enjoy support within the house but you are seeing increase in numbers at a time where the democrats are going through their own. i wouldn't call it a civil war but going through their own reckoning to figure out what the future is. we've seen folks like tim ryan and seth moulton hinting strongly that there needs to be a different vision for future. we'll see how far that goes. >> there is buzz, jennifer, that she may by the end of the year make her intentions known about 2019. >> i doubt it. >> you doubt it? >> that is what everybody always thinks. but she's very -- she continues to be in power because she very effective at her job and map maintaining support in the democratic caucus. >> do you think this generation is the toughest one to push back. >> the longer time goes on, the harder that is. and if you have a member of your leadership from your state publicly saying something like that, it is not -- >> by november of 2018, who will be a tougher person to defend, mi

should nancy pelosi's days as minority leader be numbered? atop democrat is calling for her to step down from her leadership post. she is she is a master legislator. what this means for democrats as you may face her biggest challenge yet. the administration is scaling back obamacare is mandate that most employers cover birth control. this is new developing this hour. what is at stake as president trump fulfills a key campaign promise? stay close. okay folks! let's get the lady of the house back on her feet. and help her feel more strength and energy in just two weeks. yaaay! the complete balanced nutrition of ensure with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. ensure. always be you. but he hasoke up wwork to do.in. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. that just tastes better. fresher. more flavorful. delicious. only one egg with better nutrition- like more vitamins d, e, and omega

is nancy pelosi and the leadership team less safe than they were after the election? ed: they were on shaky ground certainly after the election last year when she was challenged by tim ryan of ohio, and she conceded if someone was to put together a serious attempt at her perch she may not survive. she admitted that afterwards. hasn what the congresswoman adjusted publicly, i think it shows that she is probably still just as much at risk, if not more so, certainly if the party fails to take back the house next year. sarah: it is something we always hear whispered, but to have a member of the california delegation say that was kind of shocking to me, at the moment i have not heard -- moment did i have not heard that in public. john: the loss of talent, it was something she talked about. can you flesh that out? ed: several members are running for higher office, whether it is michelle grisham going home to new mexico, or the -- running for the governorship of colorado. and ms. feinstein -- you know, how many? sarah: there could be a or nine democrats interested in the sea

we have democratic leader nancy pelosi. we just had a very thoughtful and robust debate over what to do about gun laws in the wake of las vegas. but there's a lot of other news to unpack with the leader as well. for instance, what's going on with the secretary of state? and his relationship with the president? we've almost never seen this kind of perceived disconnect playing out in public. lots of people have disagreed at that level in private. but cnn is reporting that president trump heard about this report or someone told him or he read something that the secretary of state had called him a moron during a meeting at the pentagon this summer. and that there was a push to want him out, that maybe the chief of staff had pushed back. and then we had that bizarre press conference today from the secretary of state who basically just came out to say, i like the president. >> you know what i said about people who want to go work in the trump administration. know your blood type. this is a very awkward place to work. so i don't k

you know that's up to the house democrats i think nancy pelosi has done a great job unifying the caucus she's a much better negotiator than paul ryan she will end up at the end of this year probably with perhaps more democratic compliments in a negotiation but then there are obviously very divide that is these difficult to heal i mean they've been talking about this in california if we don't heal the divide in the party between the people who being blocked from rising up the hierarchy because of these people like nancy pelosi and i guess when i say they are blocking the rise of a new generation not that there are so many great leaders in the house democratic caucus right now if you look at what's happening on line and social media and t.v. and blogs seth moulton and jason kennedy a win but joe kennedy jr kathleen clark these are phenomenal leaders in the party who have a very strong voice you know again i have to say i think people who are fixated on having internal battles as you just mentioned a minute ago isn't it time to move past the internal battles to me i think the answer is let

other speakers were nancy pelosi and senator lisa murkowski of alaska. this is about 35 minutes. ladies andning gentlemen, members of the senate who are here, members of the house of representatives, and all of you have -- who have come here tonight to join with us as we celebrate the awarding of the freedom award to lin-manuel miranda. i am the president and ceo of the u.s. capital historical society and a former member of congress from connecticut. this evening we pay tribute, as i mentioned, to lin-manuel an extraordinarily talented composer, lyricist, playwright, and at her. -- actor. as a historical society we usually honor historians. last year we honor david mccullough with our freedom award.

nancy pelosi said she considered retiring if hillary clinton won. happen.s what will thanks for joining us on "newsmakers." >> it became clear that my impression of breitbart as having an outside influence on the 2016 election was an under statement in the extreme. fact, according to research breitbart was the driving force on the right side of the political spectrum. >> tonight on "q & a" "new york times" magazine contributing writer will hilton talks about his feature story. >> i think this is really what gets to the disparity between the way i always heard people talk about and continue to talk about breitbart as this sort of hysterical, shouty, machine for creating offense. and much more the reality of the news organization as it functions on a day-to-day basis. >> tonight at 8:00 eastern on -span's "q & a." >> tomorrow a discussion on u.s./china relations and some of the challenges related to trade. live coverage begins at 4:30 p.m. eastern on c-span. online at c-span.org. or on the free c-span radio app. now the u.s. supreme court oral argumen

a few months ago nancy pelosi said she thinks she's worth it. i happen to agree with former speaker pelosi she is worth the effort. i think the democrats should continue along the path they're doing and continue to stand for nothing and not standing for something. i encourage them to continued along and i'm all forward and i'm happy to contribute to what they're doing. >> sean: leslie if the house doesn't go to the democrats in this midterm does she step aside? does hoyer move up or out? what do you think? >> no, i don't think so, brian. i think this is done left and right, quite frankly and it's not very good. just like people they vote for the incumbents over and over even though they complain about them and we see the same in leadership. i would say nancy pelosi should have stepped aside a few weeks ago. after she had a sit down with chuck schumer and the president and he was agreeing with democrats on daca i would say she's got power back and more respect from democrats within the house and outside. >> sean: i would have to say that some of

support for this plan, and a more than a massive tax-cut for wealthy and corporations, nancy pelosi issued a statement saying, quote, we need real bipartisan tax reform that puts the middle-class first, not one penny for the wealthiest 1%.

rob: nancy pelosi defending herself, touting herself as a great legislator going onto say that president trump went rogue with the iran deal and with his decision on health care, the president set to meet with mitch mcconnell. is there time to find out ways to cut off congress and do it himself. here chuck rocha a and alexandra. chuck, we will start with you. nancy pelosi sounded like donald trump taking some of the self-promotion to heart. >> rob, you're exactly right, but the thing about nancy pelosi and democrats for the most part in this town and i am a democrat, don't blame us, we have no power, the american people wanted a republican president, house of representatives and senate, the republicans live today control everything. that's one the lunch with mitch mcconnell is so important for president trump, he needs to show accomplishments and as much he would like to do everything himself and be emperor president he has to do it through legislative model and work with the guys whether he likes them or not. rob: that's been the biggest issue. it seems like there's a bipartisan effort

pelosi. >> well, the big issue here is whether they can actually win back the house with nancy pelosi. let's not forget her second and third rank leaders are just as old as she is, frankly, they've been around just as long. there's a real question as to whether they need new blood before next year. >> bob, i asked crowley that, this idea that nancy pelosi is potentially an effective, potentially toxic, republicans like to use her as a lightning rod, they like to use her in ads, i asked crowley if he was concerned about that and he said essentially that it's sexist to say that nancy pelosi is a liability. >> yeah, i mean, listen, i think that nancy pelosi, i mean, she's a great fundraiser, but there's a lot of frustration from younger democrats in the house, some of whom have run for the senate like chris van hollen and others who've run for governor because you can't become a leader in the house on the democratic side or a ranking member, top democrat chairman unless somebody above you retires or dies. so that's where the frustration is. and as elana said, all top three leaders are al

. >>> and does the democratic leader in the house, nancy pelosi, agree with senator bob corker's assertion that president trump may be pushing the u.s. toward world war iii? stay with us for her surprising answer. and the wolf huffed and puffed... like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems.

nancy pelosi wants it to be a slippery slope. she doesn't want to stop at bump stocks. she wants to limit the rights of gun owners. it is a little bit early for people to say they know what to do with this problem. they are asking the atf to go back to 2010 decision to authorize that decision if you can't convince a guy with fresh gunshot wounds, how hard is it to convince the rest of congress? >> it is difficult with certain members of congress. it is ridiculous to think it is inevitable that we have this level of gun violence that there's absolutely nothing we can do about it. 33,000 americans dying every single year from gun violence is completely unacceptable. and we're a country of laws. the laws matter. we do know that in states that have stronger gun laws, we have less people that die from gun violence. so i don't buy into the notion that this is just the way it has to be. you know, that's not true. but that is what the gun lobby and some members of congress would like people to think. that this is a normal situation. >> from the nra, head of the nra said we shou

leadership did not mitigate so i like nancy pelosi, and it is not just nancy pelosi, it is the upper management. host: who else is included in upper management? caller: my job lets me watch c-span all day, so i see the congressional hearings and the machinations that go on, nobody works together, i think all of these people need to start working together or we will replace you. i do not think republicans are anymore happy with the republican party then democrats are with the democratic party. there is not unity anywhere. host: thank you for watching c-span. chuck is in new york city. caller: good morning. i'm very happy with the have.atic leaders we a snake in the brass -- a snake in the grass effort to thwart what is there and i say beware of the employees of the republican party. linda sanchez, the democratic , seems to be playing ato the hands, might even be distant operative of the effort to undermine the democrats. i do not see any reason to cast -- to cast aside wisdom over the prospect of an intervention that is not been oriented to the slings and arrows of present-day politic

tonight on the "axe files" a very special interview with nancy pelosi. question, does she fit the stereotype, the brand i'll put it that way, up close and personal, of her being an effete san francisco liberal when you sit down with her? >> that's certainly the caricature that opponents like it paint of her. but the thing that intrigues me most about nancy pelosi and i hope people will learn something from the discussion we had, i certainly did, was that she at the core is the young woman who grew up as a child in baltimore, the daughter of a mayor, a ward politician. you ask her what did you learn about politics growing up. she's very blunt about it. she said, i learned how to count. meaning she knows where to find the votes. and that's why she's so durable. she is a tremendous organizer, a tremendous strategist. she's certainly, i don't think there would have been an affordable care act without nancy pelosi. so this depiction of her as some kind of airy fairy, san francisco liberal is so far from the reality of who she is as a politician. and people ha

>> well i respectfully disagree with nancy pelosi on this. i think that what happens is, when we talk about iran, we tend to get caught up on the nuclear agreement when actually i think what you're hearing from president trump today, and when he spoke at the u.n. recently in september is he is talking about everything else iran is doing which is against america's interests, which is destablizing the middle east, which is executing people at home for no good reason, which is denying the iranian people a chance to benefit from the nuclear deal, the money is going to the revolutionary guards. they're creating havoc across the middle east. what he is saying is, this is stuff that we should have stopped a long time ago. so actually, you know, many people thought president trump would tear up the nuclear accord on day one. that is what his republican primary opponents said he would do. he said it's a contract. i think it is clever to give congress their day. president obama gave them fait accompli, this is a done deal. david: it goes back several a

congresswoman nancy pelosi just released a statement saying in part: "even with an accelerating special counsel investigation inside the justice department...we still need an outside, fully independent investigation to expose russia's meddling in our election..." you can read the congresswoman's full statement on our website at kron 4 dot com.

that should be music to nancy pelosi and chuck schumer's ears. this is what they have been looking for. and i don't think he is asking for the moon. he saying i want a little bit better border security, i want a better green card system that is merit-based. i would to make sure we crackdown on children coming over the border because i'll tell you, that has a whole moral hazard component to it. you allow kids to come here, more will come and they're putting in a very dangerous position. he is not asking for a ton and he saying i'll give you a pass to citizenship as a dreamer. how can they take issue with that? >> harris: is a good question because i'm kind of scratching my head the mode is a difference between that is an amnesty. i don't know how the democrats don't take a good look about how they can get bipartisan agreement on this. >> katie: when you break it down by party, the path to citizenship for them, democrats 72%, g.o.p. 42%. independence 52%. that doesn't surprise me at all. democrats and independents are going to be more favorable tow

and former speaker of the house nancy pelosi. i invite you to the podium to say a few words. [ applause ] >> thank you. good afternoon e everyone. it's an honor to be here once again with all of you. it seems like yesterday we were honoring david. now a whole other generation of people bringing history alive. thank you, senator. and thank you for your great leadership for this for so many years. and welcome to don karlson the board chair. thank you for your leadership, don. thank you very much. those two are applause lines. i'll tell you when it's an applause line. also murkowski. she will be hearing from you shortly. here we are. we are in the room where it happens. or at least where it happened. at that time. this was the house chamber. early days of our republic. and again, for 55 years the capitol historical society has illuminated the rich heritage and history of the congress and ideas it upholds. with the freedom award we celebrate the inspiring men and women who advance public understanding and appreciation for our great d

i cannot believe that nancy pelosi was just on your screen there defending bailout payments to large corporations. typically the democrats are against that. it's sort of like the shoe is on the other foot here. the bottom lionel is these are bad policy and the payments are not appropriate. >> once again, they're designed as subsidies to help with the premium for individuals, the premiums are going to go up if the subsidies go away. the other criticism is that the president is doing this because he wants to see obamacare fail. >> zen, the president doesn't want to write a check of your and my tax money to these large health insurance companies that are making hundreds of millions of dollars. let's be perfectly clear, these companies have done extraordinarily well since obamacare became the law of the land. and the president didn't want to simply stand by and see that continue to happen. that, married to the fact that these are unappropriated payments, and you and i know what that means, it means congress made no appropriation for this. the department of justice came out with a letter

do you think nancy pelosi is going anywhere? >> i don't think nancy pelosi is going anywhere. but no surprise that her colleagues have caught on to what voters have known for years, that's that nancy pelosi and the democratic party are out of touch. they'd look to whitewash. this but the democratic party of 2017 is uber-liberal and not competitive in most of america, dana. >> dana: are you finding that, are you the chairman of the nrcc, looking across and your responsibility is for the 2018 mid terms 689 that's no small task. as you look across, do you think that the republicans have the advantage, i saw larry sabato of university of virginia things the republicans do in the house and senate. what is your take? >> well, it's going to be a competitive election. we need to be ready. just today, dana, another member of the democratic house decided not to run for re-election in a district that donald trump carried, carol shea porter. we have carol shea porter, tim walls, christian cinema as well as jackie rosen. four of their incumbents in competitive districts decided not to run

nancy pelosi said she hopes it becomes a slippery slope. judge jeanine: you are saying if they let the atf look at it again, they will change their minds? >> then you might end up having a legislative push that you can start off with a their he push on bump stocks as long as it doesn't become a slippery slope. judge jeanine: how many murder have we had in this country on bump stocks. >> there are a-rated members of the congress who are learning about bump stocks. let's talk about north korea. now, the president tweeted this afternoon, there is only one thing that's going to work with north korea. that tells me -- and these legitimately frustrate the president and their administrations have been talking to north korea for 25 years. is it time for the president to preemptive live go after north korea? >> the president is not there yet. he hasn't said what the red line is. the president is making absolutely clear he's serious about the military option. we operate under the dime principle. he's letting it be known to kim jong-un and others in t

rob: it's been a rough year or two for the democrats, but can you chalk this up being nancy pelosi's fault in any regard? >> there's a lot of blame to go around from the democratic consultant on the panel here to tell you that we need to do a lot of soul searching ourselves. she's qualified and elected by her peers, i did digging last night, only 19% of the idiots across the street tat capitol are women, only 19%, more women voted than men, i will be the first to admit that even with gabby that women are way more smarter than men. rob:ly probably give you that one too. gabby, same question to you, singularly her fault or is it any at all her fault? >> i mean, i think nancy pelosi has been wonderful fundraiser in the democratic caucus and house for a numbers of years. you can tell that just by, you know, looking at how many democrats have come out calling for a young person to take over in that role, they really want a new generation of leadership and it's not just men who are calling for nancy pelosi to step down, vice chairwoman of representative linda sÁnchez has said that it's ti

nancy pelosi's days numbered? >> one dollar margaritas you don't want to pass up. ♪ liberty mutual stood with me when i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. i just snapped a photo and got an estimate in 24 hours. my insurance company definitely doesn't have that... you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. look how much coffee's in here? fresh coffee. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? do you wear this every day? everyday. i'd never take it off. are you ready to say goodbye to it? go! go! ta da! a terrarium. that's it. we brewed the love, right guys? (all) yes. we brewed the love, right guys? our recent online sales success seems a little... strange?nk na. ever since we s

nancy pelosi said the republicans are lying when they sell this as a gift to the middle class. we will turn that around for you with us on this big day to share the reporting and insights. michael warren of the weekly standard and cnn's lauren fox. sorry about that. a huge day for the republican party and fir the president after what has been a disappointing eight or nine months failing to repeal and replace obamacare. can they move it forward? you spend your days walking the hall. 20 republican nos. that's a sign to the speaker that you got over the hurdle today and you better figure out the votes on the details and do it fast. >> it's absolutely a terrifying sign for republican that is a budget blueprint, not a bill or something that is going to make policy. this just paves the way for tax reform. we have not gotten into the details yet. those are going to matter tremendously. we will see an update on november 1st on what is going to be in this bill. that's a key day to remember. >> that's the hard part. lawmakers from 35 republicans in the house like california and new york

i would say nancy pelosi should have stepped aside. and after she had a sitdown with chuck schumer and the president and i would say she actually has some power back with respect to democrats in the house and outside. >> some of these republicans that led don president trump, putting the wind into nancy pelosi's back. she does have a bones in her step today. and thanks so much. 24 minutes before the top of the hour. here's what we have. democrats who voted against the iran nuclear deal going to get behind president trump after he certifies the deal this week. and with panera catering, there's more to go around. panera. food as it should be. thisto a hilarioushing baudiobook on audible.g and this woman is laughing because she's pretending her boss's terrible story is funny. still actually laughing. no longer making a human noise. experience the comedy, not your commute. dial star-star-audible on your smartphone to start listening today. a heart transplant... that's a whole different ballgame. i was in shock. i am very proud of the devel

what do you think nancy pelosi thinks a special counsel is doing? >> guy: i have absolutely no idea, i'm not going to pretend to get into nancy pelosi's brain. i would like to ask her what on earth she's talking about, we have the house investigation, the senate investigation which virtually everyone agrees is going well and being put together and conducted in a bipartisan and professional manner, and the thing democrats were screaming for them to god, a special counsel to address exactly these questions is doing its work. she can maybe hire a special investigator, a magnifying glass, dust for fingerprints, we have as many investigations as we can possibly have been the subject. this does give the sense of the democrats will never be satisfied no matter what happen happens. to me it's preposterous. >> sandra: wouldn't raise that inevitability of democrats to say -- we want to get the bottom of all of this, get some clarity, wouldn't they also want to get to the bottom of uranium one, the funding of the dossier, where that information came from? >> h

nancy pelosi stands out, we stand out. i'd rather have a bunch of leaders and folks than just one big person, look, the work is just too vast. and we've got to engage americans in every walk of life and coin tea races and get ready for 2018 and 2020. we need a lot of leaders for that. we train about 145 people this summer and reached out and talked to over a million people with our summer canvas program and talked to folks all over this country, many days of action. the point is raising leaders. we need a lot of leaders and we need leaders in peoria, fremont, minneapolis. we're in the business of trying to track and grow a leadership. so we're not into the one big leader thing. >> congressman, i don't feel like you're answering my question. republicans went into 2016 saying something similar to what you're saying now and they ended up with donald trump. >> well, here's the thing. no doubt when you have a president in the party in the white house, that person is sort of the leader. but even then, i think it's a good idea to

i think nancy pelosi is held to a different standard than others are. the vilification of her in a very sexist way quite frankly is what's led to this discussion. what i think nancy pelosi as i said before is one of the smartest and hardest working members of our caucus and what we need to be doing right now is focusing on the issues that will advance the cause of the american people and i think it will also lead the american people to believe and understand the democrats should be in control of the house of representatives. >> congresswoman pelosi and steny hoyer have released statements both of which saying that they are focused on winning back the house, anything else right now is a distraction. one last question for you, congressman. if she does step down, say she does, would you be considering taking her place? >> look, i've never shied away from my ambition some day to advance in the house leadership. what i will suggest is that is an issue for the entire caucus to take up at some point. now is not the time to have that discussion, probably after

before that vote, house minority leader nancy pelosi held her weekly briefing with reporters. she talked about gun violence, disaster assistance for recent hurricanes and immigration policy. this is 20 minutes. ms. pelosi: good morning. yesterday morning we all proudly stood on the steps of the capitol with gabbie giffords, our former colleague and national heroine, an inspiration to us all work john lewis, the spiritual leader of the congress especially on this issue related to protecting the american people. mike thompson, who is chair of our task force on gun violence revention. all of us praised the first responders in nevada, all of the speakers did and all the rest of us join them as well. what a terrible, terrible tragedy to befall our country, that community, those individuals especially. i had the privilege of getting a question by a grieving husband , the husbandon cnn and daughter of a person who died in las vegas. there ed the question, was sandy hook, there was florida, san bernardino, bob said, how many more lives have to be taken before something is done? he sai
