THAT'S THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S

ANGLE.

AFTER DEMOCRATS RECAPTURE THE

HOUSE MAJORITY IN 2018,

NANCY PELOSI BECAME THE MOST

POWERFUL WOMAN IN WASHINGTON.

SOME SAID THAT SHE WAS TOO OLD,

THE PARTY NEEDED TO TRADE UP FOR

A NEWER MODEL.

BUT SHE SURE SHOWED THEM.

AT 79 YEARS OF AGE, SHE REMAINS

THE ONLY WOMAN TO EVER HOLD THE

POSITION OF SPEAKER OF THE

HOUSE, LET ALONE HOLD IT TWO

SEPARATE TIMES.

>> Sean: A

>> Sean: >>

SHE IS THE GLUE KEEPING THE

WHOLE WASHINGTON SCENE TOGETHER.

>> Laura: THAT WAS A FEW

MONTHS BACK.

THAT STILL HOLDS.

A YEAR AGO SHE SEEMED

UNSTOPPABLE.

IN THE GRAND

A GROUP OF NEW FEMALE LAWMAKERS

WHO ARE MAD AS HELL AND NOT

GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

>> THEY FED UP WITH IT, THEN

THEY BECAME

THEY FIGHT CRIME, THEY WEAR

WHITE BUT THEY ARE NOT ALL

WHITE.

WE LOVE THEM.

THE WOMEN OF CONGRESS!

FEATURING MAXIMUM CLAP BACK

NANCY PELOSI.

>> Laura: SHE'S SO AWOKE, SHE

CAN CLOSE HER EYES?

I HAD TO HAVE WATER FOR THAT.

ALL WEEK LONG, SHE'S BEEN A

WOMAN ON A VERY DIFFICULT

MISSION.

RESIST TRUMP WITHOUT APPEARING

TO BE UNREASONABLE.

CAN RESIST THE RADICALS IN HER

OWN PARTY WITHOUT ALIENATING

THEM AT THE BALLOT BOX.

IF YOU WENT TOO FAR EITHER WAY,

SHE COULD BLOW HER PARTY'S

CHANCES FOR 2020.

AND TIME AFTER TIME ON ISSUES

BIG AND SMALL, THE BELTWAY PRESS

AND KEY DEMOCRATS PRAISE HER

FINESSE, HER POWER, AND HER

STYLE.

AND EVEN HER BODY LANGUAGE.

>> RIDICULOUS PARTISAN

INVESTIGATIONS.

WE HAVE JUST HEARD THAT MEXICAN

CITIES' COOPERATION COMPROMISED

THE COMMON GOOD.

>> Laura: AND ON THE INFAMOUS

CLAP BACK?

LOOK AT THAT.

>> THAT'S THE WAY YOU CLAP WHEN

YOU ARE A HUSBAND PUTS THE

TOILET PAPER ON THE ROLLER.

YOU LEARN!

LOOK AT YOU.

>> Laura: SO CONDESCENDING.

THEY POURED ON THE PRAISE,

HEAPED ON THE PRAISE, EVEN ON

HER HANDLING OF THE GOVERNMENT

SHUTDOWN.

ACTOR DIRECTOR ROB REINER CALLED

HER A STRONG, BRILLIANT,

EXPERIENCED PUBLIC SERVANT.

JOE BIDEN CLEARLY AGREES.

AT LEAST WHEN NANCY SEEMS TO

HAVE AOC PLUS THREE IN CHECK.

>> I THINK THIS WAS MASTERFUL.

>> Laura: COME ON, MAN.

APPLAUDED EVEN FOR THE SHEER

STRENGTH, AS THIS INFAMOUS PHOTO

IN THE OCTOBER MEETING WITH THE

PRESIDENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

HER FEMINIST TILES AND MEDIA

BOOSTERS WENT ABSOLUTELY GAGA

OVER IT.

>> CAN WE DO ONE MORE BEAT ON

THE PHOTO?

LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF ONE WOMAN

STANDING UP AND, YOU KNOW,

GIVING IT TO THE PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES AT THE TABLE

WITH ALL MEN THERE.

SPEAKER PELOSI ON HER FEET

ALONE, ALONE IN THE ROOM.

>> ALL I COULD THINK WELL OF IS

THAT PENCE IS INVOLVED IN THIS

MURKY STUFF TOO AND PELOSI IS

THIRD IN LINE.

>> Laura: MUST'VE BEEN A

PRETTY DIFFERENT COLOR PATTERN

IN THE VIDEO.

BUT NANCY'S THEATRICS DON'T STOP

WITH POINTING.

SHE WALKS AWAY.

SHE COMES BACK TOO.

>> WE DON'T HATE ANYBODY.

>> DON'T MESS WITH ME.

>> I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY LEAVE

A MEMBER OF CONGRESS WITH TOUGH

CAPITOL HILL REPORTERS IN

STUNNED SILENCE.

>> Laura: HERE'S THE PROBLEM.

BY GETTING SUCKED INTO

IMPEACHMENT, NANCY PELOSI ALSO

WALKED AWAY FROM COMMON SENSE.

NOW AT TIMES IN THE LAST FEW

WEEKS, EVEN THE LAST MONTH, SHE

LOOKED LIKE HER BODY WAS

ACTUALLY REJECTING IMPEACHMENT

LIKE A BAD ORGAN TRANSPLANT.

>> I HAVE NO MESSAGE FOR THEM.

PEOPLE HAVE TO COME TO THEIR OWN

CONCLUSIONS.

THEY HAVE SEEN THE FACTS AS

PRESENTED, THE INTELLIGENCE

COMMITTEE, THEY KNOW IT, THEY

TAKE THE OATH TO PROTECT AND

DEFEND.

BUT THEY SEE CONSTITUTIONAL

EXPERTS.

THEY THINK ABOUT IT, THEY'LL

MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION.

I DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO THEM.

>> Laura: WAIT A SECOND, IT'S

INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE OF AN

IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE, BUT THEY

CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT.

I'M NOT GOING TO DO -- I'M NOT

GOING TO WHIP THESE VOTES.

ODD.

AFTER A YEAR AFTER ACCOMPLISHING

NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE EXCEPT THE

SUPPORT THIS WEEK AFTER OVER A

YEAR FOR THE USMCA, PELOSI'S

FUTURE IS SUDDENLY NOT LOOKING

SO BRIGHT.

THE POLLS SHOW LOIS UP OR FOR

IMPEACHING THIS PRESIDENT, AND

THE SWING STATE OUTLOOK

HORRENDOUS FOR THE DEMOCRATS ON

THAT SAME ISSUE.

THE ECONOMY WAS SOARING, THE

MARKET SOARING 220 POINTS AT THE

CLOSING BELL TODAY.

OF COURSE, THE USMCA IS FINALLY

DONE.

BIG PROGRESS WITH CHINA.

HIS APPROVAL NUMBERS HAVE NOT

BEEN AFFECTED AT ALL FOR

IMPEACHMENT.

HE'S BEEN A BEEN BILLIONS

WHETHER HE'S DOING EVENTS FOR

SCHOOL CHOICE, OR HE'S

FIGHTING ANTI-SEMITISM, OR JUST

RESENTING US, THAT'S ALL, AT

NATO.

MEANWHILE, NANCY'S PARTY UP ON

CAPITOL HILL RIGHT NOW, THE

FLOUNDERING, DESPERATELY TRYING

TO MAKE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT

IMPEACHMENT EVEN THOUGH SHE

DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH TO

WITH THE VOTE FOR IT.

BUT REALITY IS BEGINNING TO SINK

IN.

>> IF YOU LOOKING AT THOSE

INDEPENDENT VOTERS, THE POLLS DO

NOT LOOK GOOD FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

>> WHAT STRUCK ME ABOUT THIS

HEARING WAS HOW DONALD TRUMP IN

A WAY HAS ALREADY WON.

>> Laura: WOW.

IS THERE A PLAN B HERE?

DOES SAN FRAN GRAND MA'AM HAVE A
