Whoever decided to add a visual component to these high profile interviews, I see and appreciate you and feel strongly that you deserve a significant raise. This was truly exciting and engaging. Thank you.
What a remarkable woman! She is more consequential than most presidents-and so down to earth. I love the way she goes into ‘street grammar’ saying ain’t, etc. without getting vulgar. She exudes an amazing motherly wisdom that is fascinating. 👍🥰🙏
Look at the joker for speaker of the House We have right now , in Congress , Johnson , Who still want to impeach our President Joseph Biden , only to please Trump !!! Sick Republican politicians
I can listen to her talk about her strategies for hours. This was a fascinating interview and would love to hear more from her. Thank you for your service, Speaker Pelosi.
Same! I've been ferociously listening to her interviews about her new book because inevitably the interviewer always asks her how she gets things passed, and I just find it all so fascinating. She's a pretty incredible woman and politician.
I agree that this interview was fascinating start to finish. I had never seen her in a long form interview before, and Ezra asked great questions and didn't interrupt her responses. In the The Affordable Care Act discussion she said Obama was with her all the way, despite the fact his inner circle was ready to give up. In Frontline's .." Pelosi's Power" .. they acknowledged that she almost single handedly guided that Bill through Congress despite doubts all around from Schumer, Hoyer, Reid, and, Frontline said, Obama. I think it's logical to view Pelosi as the most consequential Speaker of the House.
@@Gurusum6 I would agree with that but I haven’t seen a reliable source suggesting she did any “insider trading”. There’s a lot of nonsense out there now gotta be careful. The NYT just posted an article headlined “Trump could win this race on character”. Character? Really?
GREAT interview. Kudos, Ezra. Speaker Pelosi will go down in history as one of the most effective - if not the MOST effective Speakers. Just wow, getting her book!
So true! And Trump is still terrified of Pelosi! But he goes after the most effective heroes the hardest, eh? -the ones he knows about, that is. The rest of us can vote: you, TrueBlue; and we’ll vote up here, too. 🇨🇦 (I’m not a bot, just a Canadian. You know; like the beer.)🍻😉
As a lifelong progressive, I've hod TONS of issues with Nancy Pelosi. However, I must admit the past year or so, she's been crushing it. Stepping down as speaker of the house, got Biden to withdraw from the race & backed Walz as the VP pick. Thank u Nancy!
Nancy has always been crushing it…I think we just haven’t always seen it. We wouldn’t have gotten rid of don’ ask don’ tell, or gotten the ACA without her. There’s probably dozens of bills that we’ve enjoyed, even just keeping the government open that was from her efforts.
It seems like she’s the only old person in the political class who realizes it’s time for her generation to pass the torch. And pushing Biden to do the same.
The most revealing interview with Pelos I have seeni! She came to life with her love of politics which allowed me to see her in a new light. Thank you for bringing out the best in her. Masterful.
hakeem jeffries is the single greatest threat to the working class in america. he has no political ideology outside of crushing the left and doing whatever his wall st and israel donors tell him.
She's as sharp as a butter knife. Just sharp enough to pass as effective to the unaware, but not sharp enough to actually do the job. Quite the portfolio she has there, also. Fantastic timing. Definitely attributable to her and her husband's superior intellect and not leveraging some sort of material non-public information, on account of that being against the law.
One of the greatest Legislative Leaders of the 20th Century. And the first great woman of power in Washington that was not beholding to a man for her legitimacy.
This was more engrossing, enthralling than the entire MCU. It felt like she was holding my hand, whispering the nuclear codes, and instructing me how NOT to detonate. We salute you, Master Strategist Pelosi 🫡🕊️
Most true masters of a craft teach, then promote their best students. It is a poor master that dies keeping his trade secrets. I have had many apprentices. I can name many that have surpassed my skills. It is ego and hubris that keeps someone in office as long as Nancy.
You people are seriously naive if you don’t know what she does behind the scenes getting rich on trading stocks just prior to legislation she helps pass. And don’t give the stupid excuse it’s her husband. She uses her husband for the purchases. How is she up 51% just this year alone beating out wallatreets best analysts even Warren buffet who said and I quote. Well if I had Nancy’s magic wand I’d be twice as rich Who votes down term limits every time they are presented on the floor. Who voted for a golden health care plan for herself and her family (no Obamacare for her) any doctor anywhere, anytime no copays no deductibles
Just a great great interview. You realize just how smart and skilled Nancy is, an absolute force. Also nice to see how passionate she is, look at her body language! And kudos to Ezra and his team, they are doing a tremendous job.
Too bad she essentially has been inside trading with her husband for the last decade and making democrats look bad, all the while promising to do something about it before pulling back support
I’m gonna admit that I used to not like Nancy Pelosi, I thought she was too comfortable in her position and not willing to fight for real changes. I also thought some of the insider trading critics were a problem. But this year Nancy Pelosi completely changed my mind and I actually have so much respect for her (not that she needs my respect I’m nobody). Pelosi saw the polling and saw a huge loss coming for the Dems, the people spoke and said they weren’t excited about Joe. Whether she acted to back up our voices or acted for personal reasons at the end of the day she took action and pressured him to drop out and we got what we wanted. She also told Kamala to pick Walz instead of Shapiro, which was shocking because Shapiro is very corporate and center dem and Walz is more progressive. This year will go down in the history books as the year Nancy Pelosi saved America 🇺🇸
Not that shocking if she was reading the polls and listening to what people were saying. People are tired of the corporate dem type that Shapiro is. Pelosi knew that. She prefers her party to win more than having the person she might like more like Shapiro, so pushed for Walz.
I agree...Still have an issue with the stock stuff, although I may have picked up a few bucks here and there following her trades on unusual whales lmao. But yeah, it's sort of like a book...if you do some good shit at the end, that's the main memory people will have. And she's been crushing it recently. I've gotta respect her.
Republicans: the democrats were just lucky with the booming stock market Also Republicans: the house leader knew about future laws that would bring stocks to all time highs
@@joachim5080look at the Covid stock sellings shortly before the stock market crash and tell me that Nancy and her husband as well as other politicians didn’t act on information that the general public did not have access to
Wonderful, wonderful interview with Nancy....Can't thank you enough for allowing me to listen to this so inspiring woman in this format. Letting her kind of free range on her stories is amazing and brings back so many historic moments.
"He was not a person of any values." I appreciate that she talks about him in the past tense. Let's move on from weird little Donnie. We're not going back!!
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave us a huge shot at redemption. I still don’t understand the mechanics behind how she does it even with her explaining it. There’s something about her ability to talk to people, one on one, that is beyond normal. A real treat to experience in real time. She may have single handedly save the republic… we shall see in November.
@@SRINATHKADIAM-o6f I wish I had Paul Pelosi’s temperament and talent. Not everyone is born with an interest for business. He have worked really hard to get were he is and had a “love of the game” as it were.
I know sooo little about politics. But I am so amazed at the clarity of this lady. She is electric. I think I’m older than her, and in that circle, we kind of get a little skittish about age and what is coming down. But she has such a recall for this interview. Big mahalo (thx) Nancy and much Aloha from Hawaii.
Amazing woman, so smart and energetic! She spoke at my law school graduation in 1998, then a junior congresswoman from CA. We didn’t know then what a powerhouse she would become!!
I'm very proud to say I was born in San Francisco. Living in Oakland, Berkeley. The consciousness and awareness of the bay area are so outstanding. I have grown up in this wonderful atmosphere being affected by so many positive influences. It's great to hear Nancy speak about all of this.
She has more intelligence, decency and class in her pinky finger than all of Trump and his ilk. This was brilliant. Hello from Glasgow, Scotland 🏴 Watching events closely and hoping Harris/Walz win in November 🎉
An utterly riveting interview! I’m about 3/4 into her book. In addition to intuition she has integrity and courage-I believe that’s the source of her power.
Thank you Ezra for the fascinating interview. Loved it! Nancy Pelosi is just terrific. I’m a huge fan and she’s absolutely my idol. She KNOWS how to move the levers of power in our government so expertly. Really the best Speaker of the House, right up there with LBJ. I’m reading her book now with enjoyment. You’re one of my faves in journalism also, although I was quite annoyed with you for a time for your writing which played a role in the brutal ousting of President Biden. Sad for him after all he’s done, but with the emergence and fast success of the Harris Walz ticket, it does seem like it was meant to be. You are forgiven!😂😂😂 Thank you again ❤
I was not at all expecting that epic conclusion from Speaker Pelosi. Wow absolute chills when she mentioned getting through this night in our country with our flag still there. Powerful stuff
She is the most cunning tactician, by a mile, that the modern Democratic Party has ever seen. Not since LBJ have we seen someone this talented at wielding power going to bat for the good guys, and even he had an easier job than Nancy. Thank God for her.
Rare to be born with this level of devoted mind for politics. But first & most, for democracy. It's democracy that enables progress, progressionism & being a progressionist. Why so rare.
I hope we can learn to be additive about it. She did amazing, consequential, groundbreaking things. (And in a country where 100 years after women's suffrage we are only finally taking women seriously in politics).
Thank you for allowing me to better understand Nancy Pelosi. I have both adored and disliked her in my years as a voter. The dislike has nearly dissipated with this interview. What I had considered arrogance has changed to respect for purpose that she now, in my mind , has been exhibiting.
That might’ve been one of the very best interviews I’ve ever heard on any topic, anytime, anywhere in the world! Wow! So insightful. The questions asked of Nancy were so well thought out and her responses were so educational and informative. Just an exceptional interview all the way around. Good luck trying to top this!
Thank you to this younger generation!!! The fact many UA-camrs allow these political elders to speak is truly remarkable. I love how engaged Gen Z. I don’t care which party. Get involved!!!
Learning more about Pelosi has given me a greater appreciation for the organizational purpose of leading a party, because at the end of the day someone still needs to have the skill to gather a coalition to actually pass stuff. I think there are a lot of overly-online people who are dismissive of anyone who isn't progressive enough, without following how government actually works.
I may disagree with quite a lot of Pelosi's stances, but you cannot deny she is good at her job. That's part of why Republicans hate her, is she is a strong whip for her party. Which can be upsetting when she is at odds with what I want the Democratic Party to do but I can see now why she kept getting re-elected to Congress as much as she did.
@@dave0051she absolutely cares…and far, far more than trump! Trump cares about power, money, attention, praise. Is that what you are? A provider of one of those for him?!?
@@Alphacentauri819 she's a gd criminal. You want to know how much she cares? Go visit her shit filled district. Go look at the needles and drugs and open drug use. The crime and homelessness of her district. San Francisco is a shit hole. The few businesses that have remained open have to lock up their products. Boy she cares so much. I was in San Francisco in 2000 and then again in 2023. It's not even the same place.
She's the lady of such grace, I feel privileged to have been born to witness her alive even through the computer screen from the other side of the world.
Perhaps the most interesting and relevant political interview I have ever watched. It’s pretty rare that us normal people get to hear the actual nitty gritty details of political maneuvering, especially in an era where republicans are so blatantly and disturbingly obstructionist
Ezra, thank you so much for posing interesting questions in a brief way and letting Pelosi give full answers. Oh, and I think that "intuition" thing is strongly based on her political training at home, essentially doing a lot of bookkeeping for her father. So many people today have no idea what that era's machine politics meant. But she lived it. And she knows how to count, and knows who needs what to survive politically.
Nancy sees herself as a weaver, looking at all of the diversity in the democrat party with many differences, but all knowing why they are democrats. She looks at all of them with respect and let's them know she needs all of them to weave this tapestry and make something beautiful. That is so wonderful and insightful to hear. Its so creative and artistic with humanity and reverence for everyone and the fight for the highest values. Just outstanding. 🎉
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pramila Jayapal and other women of color would like to have a word on that. It’s been widely reported that the former speaker hasn’t been great, fair, let alone respectful to a lot of the younger legislators like AOC.
I think it took her a while to get there. I think she underrated progressives for 6 to 10 years too long and saw them as a "fringe" group long past the point when they were a small but non-fringe group of voters.
Not being American, but more idealistically progressive, I never appreciated Nancy.....till today. Wow. Have I been missing out on a wonderful American Icon.
Whoever decided to add a visual component to these high profile interviews, I see and appreciate you and feel strongly that you deserve a significant raise. This was truly exciting and engaging. Thank you.

Ezra is among a small number of people that can do justice to the golden opportunity of interviewing Nancy Pelosi. Well done, EK.
Of the 60 interviews of Nancy - Ezra’s is in a class of its own.
Thank you for being there to constantly right the ship and clean up Republicans’ messes for the past few decades, Madame Speaker. 💙🇺🇸
You are absolutely more to be pitied than blamed.
God damn she is a total political wizard. Even in retirement she still single handedly brought us back into the conversation
She's running. Her counting and org abilities greatly needed. I know what you mean , retiring from Speakership.
Wizard is exactly the right word!
She phenomenal but these things are never single handed! This was a group mobilization and she charged us ahead, and that's why I love democracy

What a wonderful wonderful woman! so charismatic and indpiring
inspiring!
I may disagree with quite a lot of Pelosi's stances, but you cannot deny she is good at her job. That's part of why Republicans hate her, is she is a strong whip for her party. Which can be upsetting when she is at odds with what I want the Democratic Party to do but I can see now why she kept getting re-elected to Congress as much as she did.
This is over the top! I love Nancy Pelosi!
Why would you love someone like her who cares nothing about you or the country.
@@dave0051she absolutely cares…and far, far more than trump!
Trump cares about power, money, attention, praise. Is that what you are? A provider of one of those for him?!?
@@Alphacentauri819 bahahaha my God you people are delusional.
@@Alphacentauri819 she's a gd criminal. You want to know how much she cares? Go visit her shit filled district. Go look at the needles and drugs and open drug use. The crime and homelessness of her district. San Francisco is a shit hole. The few businesses that have remained open have to lock up their products. Boy she cares so much. I was in San Francisco in 2000 and then again in 2023. It's not even the same place.
@@Alphacentauri819 All I know is my business and family were much better off under President Trump. It's not even close.
That was AMAZING! She is and all-star.
Strong.Intellectual.Woman!!!! Respect
Not her sitting at the edge of her seat as she talks about these topics! Shows her excitement and passion.
100 years from now, she will still be revered as legendary. Her political skill is level 10.
How can people hate her. She's wonderful!
She made me cry at the end "Proof thru the night that our flag is still there" 😭
Yes, that was a telling phrase. And the lyrics, I realize now, reference the attack on its Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. Heartfelt!
Ditto
Lady Gaga’s singing of the Star Spangled Banner at Joe Biden’s inauguration keyed in on this very phrase. It’s chilling.
You could like her or not, but that's a very sharp, resourceful politician
She's the lady of such grace, I feel privileged to have been born to witness her alive even through the computer screen from the other side of the world.
Perhaps the most interesting and relevant political interview I have ever watched. It’s pretty rare that us normal people get to hear the actual nitty gritty details of political maneuvering, especially in an era where republicans are so blatantly and disturbingly obstructionist
Ezra, thank you so much for posing interesting questions in a brief way and letting Pelosi give full answers. Oh, and I think that "intuition" thing is strongly based on her political training at home, essentially doing a lot of bookkeeping for her father. So many people today have no idea what that era's machine politics meant. But she lived it. And she knows how to count, and knows who needs what to survive politically.
An incredibly powerful and still very sharp woman. I have the utmost respect for Nancy Pelosi
LOVE YOU NANCY!! You look great!💙💙💙
What a beautiful person. I just love her.
What a great interview!
Nancy sees herself as a weaver, looking at all of the diversity in the democrat party with many differences, but all knowing why they are democrats. She looks at all of them with respect and let's them know she needs all of them to weave this tapestry and make something beautiful.
That is so wonderful and insightful to hear. Its so creative and artistic with humanity and reverence for everyone and the fight for the highest values.
Just outstanding. 🎉
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pramila Jayapal and other women of color would like to have a word on that. It’s been widely reported that the former speaker hasn’t been great, fair, let alone respectful to a lot of the younger legislators like AOC.
I think it took her a while to get there. I think she underrated progressives for 6 to 10 years too long and saw them as a "fringe" group long past the point when they were a small but non-fringe group of voters.
Remarkable woman and leader.
This is an historic interview
Wow. Her passion is palpable. She loves the game and it loves her. Madame speaker I hope your spirit will live on!
Nancy is one of the rare ones that we will always want to keep relevant. She is someone to admire and aspire to be.
Unbelievably great interview! I feel like I know what she's about now. Thank you.
Not being American, but more idealistically progressive, I never appreciated Nancy.....till today. Wow. Have I been missing out on a wonderful American Icon.
