One of the main reasons i wake up in the morning, my motivation is to have breakfast. Otherwise, it is like, what time is it . Lisa good morning. Our guest today is speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. It is her 13th appearance at a monitor breakfast. The first was in 1985 before she was even elected to the house. At that point, she was serving as the finance chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign committee, and i do not know how they figured out she was the future speaker, but i applaud my monitor predecessors for inviting her 34 years ago, so welcome back. Speaker pelosi has been in politics pretty much her whole life. Her father was a member of congress and then mayor of baltimore. After college, she married and moved west to San Francisco where she became a fixture in the state democratic party. She won a special house race in 1987 and has been a member ever since. Speaker pelosi is now in her second tour as speaker of the house, and we are delighted to have her here today. Now

He knew each and every member. He knew what they needed. He knew what they didnt want anybody to know. The part that i find just wonder russ is how in a day could he do what he did and how did he come to know so much about each and every member . You nailed it. He had this encyclopedic knowledge of not only the legislative process, but of the people around it. Hue better humphrey described lbj as a psychiatrist. He could read you. He knew it moerveated you. He knew what might motivate bob was different from what motivate linda or larry. He got that. And he used it. He exploited it. Theres an expression, that people are motivated by either love or fear. And you need to know the right combination in order to get them to act. Lbj got that and he used to apply something that was legendarily known in washington as the johns ontreatment or just the treatment. There was no doubt who was applying it.

Reagan shut it down three times with 3 growth. I want him to draw a line in the sand and say one of the reasons i was elected is to build a wall and to have increased Border Security. The thing that is puzzling to me, trish, somehow obama found 150 billion to bribe the mullahs and we kind find 25 billion to build a wall . You know theyre going to find it. Of course.
