How are you doing all right, well okay. All right. Weve got a big show. Thank you very much. I know its very exciting. Time of year. Its Labor Day. Fuck is the year already . Its christmas already. Its its Labor Day weekend. And right on cue. This is as they say. This is when the president ial race really starts and it really did. We finally had an interview Last Night with kamala harris. Did you watch it oh, wow. Thats a lot of people watched it. Not just her with Tim Walz. Her emotional support, vp well, i mean, it was it was a little odd. He was just sitting there for a very long time without saying anything he did. I mean, he was just. He was just nodding while she did all the talking. The womens Focus Group said he must be a wonderful husband really . I mean like, it just kept going. And he was saying nothing. It was like watching jeopardy when one of the Players Cant work the buzzer. You know they just. Id love to get in on this, but i i was that guy once, by the way but its so funny. The media has been furious that she would not give an interview. And now she finally does. Not a single question about abortion. Ukraine, the homeless, the opioid crisis, the national debt. And then they wonder why the kids get their news from Tiktok Uh including the question they always ask. The stupidest question in the world. What would you do on Day One . You know, its not that kind of a fucking job. Okay . Its just not that kind of a Job Id Cure cancer. What do you think id do . I would just one time. Love to hear somebody go you know what i do . Id unpack some boxes and id get dressed for the inaugural party. Like anybody else uh, no. Please Donald Trump, of course, had to. Shit tweet while he was watching it he could boring good Id Love some boring yeah, thats what i want in this ticket. Its Harris Walz not deadpoolwolverine yeah at one point he said she didnt look like a leader no. And then it was off to his monthly call with the Probation Officer who but heres something really interesting. The first debate, maybe the only debate is in ten days, i think. Okay. Theyre having a fight about the mics now in the last debate with biden. Remember, they turned the mics off when the Guy Wasnt speaking and trump fought against that. Now they reversed because they know hes his own worst enemy so so she wants the Mic On and his team wants it off. They also want him to wear one of those cones. Your dog wears when you dont want him to bite his own wounds you know hes the fact that she is beating him now is just making him more unhinged than usual. Which is saying a lot. I mean, hes talking about how hot he is. Hes just saying the most crazy things. Yesterday he said he wants now a a space National Guard in case theres an uprising by black Holes Matter and then he gets into a physical fight at arlington national cemetery. Now, it was the third anniversary this week of when we pulled out of afghanistan. It was it alqaim think there was a 13 of our troops died and so he went to arlington. You know, for the troops there. And, you know, theres a law, as there should be, that at arlington national cemetery, where our bravest and greatest are buried. You cant take pictures and you cant use it as a campaign prop. I mean, its like when homeless people started to fuck in libraries. You didnt think there should be a law about it but you have to, you know sometimes you just need a law of course. So of course, when trump heard this, he was like laws, right and they told him to stop and he was furious. He said, you are ruining a perfectly good exploitation of a tragedy and then he grabbed some flowers off somebody elses grave and said send these to melania and then when the park people told him to stop, he just shoved them aside. His goons just shoved them. Have you ever wonder what Donald Trump is like in real life . Tony soprano without the introspection. All right, we got a great show.

House of representatives. Whos next . Whos New York Times Bestselling memoir is the art of power my story as americas first Woman Speaker of the house, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi hey dylan, good to see you wow nice yeah not bad reception there, huh . Nice welcome. They could not wait to get on their feet. And your memoir is out. But. But just because your memoir out, youre not done, right . Youre still in congress well, its not a memoir. Its just a report on some things. Ill do a memoir later. Well it covers some important territory. Yes, i mean, i mean, the big i on my scorecard, you got the Big Ones, right . And the Big Ones are iraq. You were against going in the financial crisis in 08. You bailed out the banks, even though that was very unpopular at the time. And then getting Health Care done when a lot of people wanted to throw that under the bus when it got tough and you kind of willed it into law um those are the three Big Ones, right its a lot of history except i didnt bail out the banks, but i and theres a picture i saw in the book of you and bush. Id like to show it, see if you remember it. I think its when you were the broke history is the first woman in that position and i show it because like, look, i was very hard on george busH For good reason. Kind of an idiot. No, but he was better than that. I was probably too hard. But that picture says a lot because he looks like hes genuinely giving you congratulations and even though youre on the other side, were all americans that republican is gone, am i right . Sure thats unfortunate that was a surprise to me when he came out and said i am the first president who will ever say, Madam Speaker. And that was a big applause and all that but then he talked about my father having served in congress and having been there when churchill spoke and other heads of state, and he could never have imagined that his daughter would be massive. So it was a beautiful personal thing that the president did. You know especially since up until that time, i had been fighting him fiercely on the war in iraq. So is there any way to get back to the great times of George Bush i think so, i think that its necessary for our country, for us to move in a unifying direction, to try to take us back to a place where we disagreed, but we were patriotic and loved our country as opposed to whats happening now its essential. Its essential. Can we talk politics here . I mean, its essential that Donald Trump never set foot in the White House. So i mean, they would say the democrats have changed a lot in that era, too do you agree or disagree . No. I think weve been true to who we are. We are the party of Working Class people the Kitchen Table concerns of americas Working Families have always been ours they will take an example here or there and try to tattoo all of us with it, but we are a diverse party. As i say, our diversity is our strength, our unity is our power, and thats why we have to come together for um youre from out here you read the local papers, the california lawmakers just passed a law. It hasnt been signed by governor newsom, but giving Government Assistance to undocumented immigrants to buy houses. Thats kind of a different place than the democratic party used to be on immigration is it not . Im not going to say thats what the country is going to do. But thats certainly where california is. Well, let me just say immigration has always been a bipartisan issue. I refer you to the nonfree houses. Well, thats not free housing. Its its The American Dream being available to more people. But understand this about immigration. The best speech on immigration was by president ronald reagan. This is the last speech i will make as President Of The United States. I want to communicate a message to the country i love. And he talked about the Statue Of Liberty and the beacon of hope. It is to the world and what america was preeminent in the world because our door was always open and we will cease to be preeminent when we shut the door. Now, thats i dont do justice to the great Communicator Google it. Its a fabulous Speech And George Herbert Walker Bush continued in that respect for the diversity of america and the rest californias always in the lead. Maybe others will follow that lead, but thats up to those states. But were very blessed here with beautiful diversity. You can vote for this law. Excuse me. So youd vote for this law . Well, i dont im not familiar with exactly what that is, but making The American Dream of Home Ownership available to all people is something we have to do for people who are here now. This is before u. S. Citizens. This is undocumented. This is for the undocumented. Well, what i would like to do is move them to document it. The fact that we can move them to document and one of the best things that we can do for our economy is to pass comprehensive Immigration Reform so that all of these people are participating more fully in our economy contributing to it, contributing to it contributing to Social Security Contributing in every way to it. So the the attitude that we have in california of openness is, is something we share, whether that translates into particular policy one place or another is up to is up to that region. Okay so theres some interesting stuff in the book about january 6th. Trump is going to have an Award Ceremony for the for the rioters coming up um, and theres some footage of you that just came out where youre talking about. You say, im quoting you. I take responsibility now. I think youre talking about the fact that there should have been more protection there. Know what im talking about is that we didnt demand that the president well, first of all, who could have ever thought that the President Of The United States would incite an insurrection against the Congress The Constitution and the capital . I was saying it for years. I was saying it for years. I was absolutely im not ever taking responsibility for Donald Trump. Right. But i only took responsibility. I will take for Donald Trump is to make sure he is not reelected every unless youre there i was saying is that we had to get the National Guard there, but he resisted. He he wouldnt do it. And what did he do . But i hate to use this word, but lie about it. Lie about it. Oh, you can use that word. Yeah. That i hate to use the word lie, and i hate to use the word hate. So that was a sentence that i didnt like but theres a lot of moving stuff in your book about an issue that weve all read about and it has to do with literally having physical fear for what you do and youre amazingly strong about it. I mean, youve obviously had that horrible break in in your house and your husband attacked. They tried to get you on january sixth. There was a lot of Wheres Nancy and people are now going to jail for it. It was on that level and i just would like to say to the people who i and i hear it all the time who talk about, oh, were moving toward civil war. Well, in a way, were kind of already there. You know, when people are literally fearing physically for theirselves, do you still fear physically . Well, i let me just say i signed up for this. And as for that part of it, well, i signed up for the public arena as note that im quoting a republican president , Teddy Roosevelt said, when youre in the arena, youre no longer a spectator. And ive said to colleagues and people interested in running, when you own the Arena Youve got to be ready to take a punch. Youve got to be ready to throw a puncH For the children for the children i would so im not, im not. I wasnt fearful that day for me because as speaker, your second in line to the White House, you have security. I was concerned about my colleagues. I was concerned about the press who were there. I was concerned about the custodians who keep the capitol, what it is beautiful for visitors. I was concerned about the staff. I resented what they did to traumatize the staff. Ill never forgive them for that. And same thing when my own situation personally, they came to My Home and to our home made it a crime scene, attacked My Husband nearly killed him and they were looking for me. So i certainly have guilt about that. But you know what . We have to take our country back to where a place is. You can disagree without being fearful for your life and and that of your family and that of your family that many times when im encouraging people to run, especially more women to run for office, nothing more wholesome than our political process than that arent we excited about. Yes. And sometimes youre youre discouraging people to run. Were not going to get into that. Uh uh no. Whatever. Make their own decisions. Absolutely. They do absolutely. They do and i but i just want to say from the bottom of My Heart, thank you so mucH For what you didnt do um last question. But when joe stepped down, did you want it to be an open convention as opposed to going right to kamala . Well, heres the plan. Kamala it was open. Anybody could have gotten in. She wrapped it up you have to give her credit for that. I do totally. And the democratic party theY You know what . Thats the smartest thing they did because they just had a big internal fight. They couldnt afford another one. They would have looked like we always think, oh, theyre disorganized and they just got there. You know what . Together thank you so much. I got to go. I can talk to you all night. Fantastic youre our Iron Lady Nancy pelosi. Everybody thank you. Lets meet our panel i appreciate it.
