now what do you think is the point of nancy pelosi, the latest visit to armenia? well, it seems to be to stir up trouble with both russia and turkey at the same time which united states has been doing for many years. the state, the intervention at below c, as mr. open said, where their intervention in taiwan is, is really disturb trouble. that's all it's meant to do. there is some connection with the domestic elections in the united states because of the armenian boat, and they wish to get that for the democratic party in the united states. but i think the primary purpose of her visit was to try and embarrass russia because it has defense treaty with armenia, which i mean he's complaining about not being fulfilled fully in there and they were and their view. and it also is an attack on turkey because turkey backs as a by jen and they want to do 2 things at the same time. they want to take split armenia from russia by saying to the armenians, the united states will guarantee whatever that means. i mean, in sovereignty, whatever that means, because armine the sovere

many are not pleased with nancy pelosi actions. it seems like the results of her recent trip are not exactly good for the worlds are, but we shall have to see further reaction from the united states as well as from other countries. a high ranking e politician has suggested that turkey should face sanctions if it joins a china lead economic alliance. the shanghai cooperation organization. the juvenile piece is nathan, on the e. you must keep a close eye on turkey's president at one nato and the european union must ask themselves how long they will let air dawn dance around on their noses. nato member turkey is doing more to circumvent european sanctions on russia than china. air dawn puts the brakes on finland in sweden, joining nato, and now he wants to join the s c o. together with iran. it is time for a robust turkey policy. turkey is currently considered a dialogue partner in that organization along with other countries such as saudi arabia and counsel. european politicians have said turkey and nato state has been leading away f

it seemed like nancy pelosi went there for the purpose of intensifying disagreements and disputes. and that may have been the result of her recent trip. but it seems like policy, united states is go around the world, escalating tangent causing problems, causing intensification disagreements and then sitting back and watching the result . many are not pleased with nancy below these actions. it seems like the result of a recent trip are not exactly good for the world, but we still have to see further reaction from the united states as well as from other countries. is where the forces have been raiding, palestinian human rights groups, and they've accused of supporting terrorism without providing evidence as surveillance, comma video shows israeli authorities breaking down the door. the rights groups off is with some of the service men, even taking cell phase and photos together with best phones. then they took a sheet of muscle and filled off the front door, issuing an order to forbid anyone from entering several palestinian white screen of experience similar ways. but the door was s

nancy pelosi says it's maga extremism to lower energy costs, to secure america's borders. pelosi said it's extremism to let parents be involved in their kids education. .. thank you steve. as leader mccarthy said today house republicans continue to pray for all of those on hurricane ian's destructive path. several of our florida members and many families across florida are bracing for this catastrophic disaster as it makes its way across the state. but across america families are struggling pretty struggling to balance their budgets. seniors including many from my buds are draining their savings. the next generation is finding it impossible to afford the american dream. joe biden house democrats have no plan to address a skyrocketing inflation. highest in my lifetime. they have no plan to secure the border. and they have no plan to address a skyrocketing crime crisis causing chaos in our streets. and the american people are smart. they note single party democrat rule have caused these crises. today, over 70% of america's workers now say their wages have fallen behind joe b

nancy pelosi has pledged support for media. after recent fighting on the border with azerbaijan, she is the most senior us official to visit the country. the 2 countries have been in conflict for decades over the disputed region of the gourne of kara back. tony cheng reports from the armenian capital yerevan alongside her armenian counterpart, nancy pelosi paying her respect to the genocide memorial. the speaker of the house of representatives appeared moved. but the message was clear. the united states as standing firmly alongside armenia in it's time of need. later in the day, after meetings in the national assembly, she was equally resolute and meeting again had a particular importance to us because of the focus on security following the illegal and deadly attacks. and as a, by the, as they hung up on the armenian territory. we strongly condemn those attacks. we, in our delegation on behalf of congress, which threatens prospects, are much ne, peace agreement, but pelosi wouldn't be drawn on how the u. s. might contribute to

elizabeth: watch nancy pelosi talk about that. watch. >> people think that the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power. that has to be an act of congress. elizabeth: okay, there's all that. jason, there's also this, the inspector general of homeland security finds nearly 2,000 homeland security government workers, they're supposed to be keeping us safe, they got caught stealing millions in ban democratic job -- pandemic job benefits and people supposed to be overseeing the budget in homeland security. what's your reaction when you hear this? >> i want to see them prosecuted. if they're going to uphold the law, go out and prosecute those people. what about the front of the line and prosecute them first. elizabeth: to what jason is saying, you know, andy, it was a look at just about 2400 jobless claims and can be even bigger and found 2.6 million allegedly stolen and this was a sample. this was cases of identity fraud, homeland sec

we know that based on the reports in silly -- nancy pelosi certifies herself. host: what about the ramifications? what is the enforcement of the stock act? guest: it's fairly strict that if you violate any of the provisions of the stock act, you consent before -- you can get sent before the committee which has the power to reprimand, center or in extreme situations kick a member out. also, there is potential criminal liability that could come with this too or the department of justice could investigate if they were acting in illegal ways. exchange commission could investigate and has in one notable incident involving senator richard burr. all of these things can happen simultaneously. the penalties over the past 10 years have been incredibly light. the investigations that have taken place are almost universally have led to nothing happening and some sort of concern that has been raised especially in the past many months is what good is the law if ultimately it doesn't have any teeth? lawmakers may not be compelled to do the right thing or they may get involved

what is nancy pelosi doing that? what is she expected to say? but she, sir, meeting the speaker of the parliament a little later this morning. earlier today at about 730 local time, she went to pay her respects the memorial to the armenian genocide adjuster on one of the hills, just on the edge of your van. she's going to be speaking to the speaker, making some public statements yesterday or she arrived. she tweeted that she was here to show her support for armenia for their further democratic progression. and that of the caucuses generally said she was here to recognise the armenian genocide and also to push on for american involvement in peace. a particularly in that conflict in the corner. caraballo. as you mentioned, tourney. what does this visit say about where the us sees the blame for the recent outbreak of fighting? i think that's interesting. i don't think she'll be making any explicit statements in what we've seen over the last couple days in the accusations, going from both sides, that the other side was responsible. i don't think the

we asked nancy pelosi ada press conference. he asked her, brian mentzer asked her, should they be able to play stock, should they be able to trade in capitol hill? an answer she gave at that time was this is a free market economy and members of congress should be able to participate in that economy. she endorsed the status quo. and then a curious confluence of events happened. you had on the left, members such as alexandria ocasio-cortez the senator from new york, and the senator from massachusetts saying, no, that's not good. that's not what we want. we want something different. we want to be on embers of congress from trading stocks because the rules of the road are not working. and then you have some republicans who were effectively saying the same thing, josh hawley, the senator from missouri. later you had donald trump and kevin mccarthy more or less saying we do need to consider banning members of congress to -- consider banning members of congress from trading stocks. nevertheless, they were on the same page. and that's

is this really about principles, or is this about politics for nancy pelosi? this is about principal the armenian people of art, such as the armenians referred when is the indigenous ancestral lands of the armenian people. it has been inhabited by armenians for several thousands of years . the armenian people, the un security council resolutions wrong them when they talk about the occupation of a very territories. does that what you're telling really, what you're telling views. the security council resolutions also applied explicitly to other by john to cease all aggressive actions against the local army and populations and battle capacious not, not about sees fires. i can read to hear the text of a tape to refers to recently occupied areas of azerbaijan, the same sentence in 853884, cause upon armenia to stop, to ensure that their forces and not provided armenian force is not provided with the means to extend their military campaign further, right is the un security council got it wrong. and it also called an officer by john to seize all aggression against th

alongside her armenian counterpart, nancy pelosi paying her respect to the genocide memorial. the speaker of the house of representatives appeared moved. but the message was clear. the united states as standing firmly alongside armenia in its time of need. later in the day, after meetings in the national assembly, she was equally resolute and meeting again that had a particular importance to us because of the focus on security following the illegal and deadly attacks on as of by the edge that they hang up on the armenian territory, we strongly condemn those attacks lee in our delegation on behalf of congress, which threatens prospects for much ne piece agreement, but pelosi wouldn't be drawn on how the u. s. might contribute to the peace process we were here to listen to. i mean, is security need, she said, but conceded the russia had broke the seas. father, it's currently in place initiated either series on the streets of the capital protest as cold for an end to the russian broke a peace process under the collective security treaty organization or c, s t o o. we have an alli

how speaker nancy pelosi slams azerbaijan for what she calls illegal attacks on armine ah, so we begin this hour in london where the queue for members of the public to see queen elizabeth lying and state has now closed. a minute's silence was observed across the united kingdom. ah, world leaders have been arriving in london on the eve of the funeral, among them, u. s. president joe biden, who paid his respects in westminster hall, or a challenge has more from london. taking his turn with the tide of people that have been flowing past the queen's coffin for days, now us president joe biden came to pay his respects in london to sign the book of condolence, and to offer his recollections for the much celebrated monarch. she was the same in person this year as their image, decent, unable, and all much service and harsh go out to the royal family. came charles in all the family. and so last that leaves a giant hole. and joe biden is, of course, to join hundreds of dignitaries at a funeral. that is an unprecedented challenge for britain's police and security services. the brief is simple, ke

laying out the groundwork should nancy pelosi decide she doesn't want to be in the caucus anymore. she did make a deal for years ago that she would only do two more terms as speaker but that deal was never codified into house democratic rules so there's always wiggle room and it seems like it's truly anyone's game. if policy wants to stay several democrats say they would expect her to try and then if she doesn't you could see hakeem jeffries. he could emerge as the first one to lead a political party in congress and i would say adam schiff as the underdog as he does have national name recognition and he's holding meetings and calling people. >> to the republican side of the island on the house, the headline of your story in the wall street journal, kevin mccarthy brought back to power. you write is closer than ever to becoming a speaker. though the path he's taken is a risky one. why risky? >> kevin mccarthy has tried in 2015. he has since set his sights on unifying people that didn't like him. so jim jordan who was threatening to challenge him in 2015 is now an ally and he has tri

the south us how speaker nancy pelosi is in our media. she's the highest ranking us official to go there since it became independent from the soviet union in 1991. the trip follows renewed fighting between our media as if i show on there the contested region of the going to cover back a ceasefire. been effect in effect, since witnessing the heads of state security of kyrgyzstan am tajikistan of discuss the latest share up in fighting along bed disputed board up dozens of people were killed in the violence the to blame each other for the rest escalation ah, in london, the thousands of people sunday is their last chance to pay their respects to the only queen, but many have ever known. the cue to westminster hall is more than 6 kilometers long. some people have been waiting for 13 hours a war. they've no less than 24 hours to view the queen's coffin. as it lies in state, the state funeral on monday is likely to be the biggest event ever hosted in london . u. s. president joe biden, and 1st lady joe biden of arrived in london for the funeral

let's look. >> nancy pelosi. we know that climate change is a global crisis. but we can start addressing it. >> harris: david, maybe they wanted a little intro of a song from her. not expecting a political speech. >> i have to be frank about this. no matter what you do, a lot of people go to these festivals don't want to hear from politicians. they're waiting for the next act to come up on stage. central park is a beautiful place. the weather was nice. the last thing you want to hear from is an 80-year-old amoral elitist to lecture you on something you're not there for. they may want to use the stage on climate change. a lot of people are there for the music and they don't care about nancy pelosi. but it also shows you the failure of the democrats and the tone deafness on what matters to voters. leslie talked about the cocktail parties. but then she deflects to the local races rather than the national view of a country that's in turmoil because of democrat policies that have harmed the economy and people drive to the grocery stores more often than they drive t

over the years you learn not to underestimate nancy pelosi. she's managed to stay in power for 36 years. i'm sure her and her husband will love the wine scene in italy. i heard it's great. you know, this just goes to show what's going on in this country. we don't know what's going to happen in the midterms. it looks like republicans are absolutely going to take back the house, maybe 15 to 20 seats. it will depend on whether or not they take the senate which looks more promising as the days go on. we have to look at what is the impact that a president biden calling half the country semi-fascist and extremist are going to have on the midterm elections right now. i don't know who thought that was a good idea sitting and the round table saying let's call half the country terrorists. i'm sure that will bring everybody to our side. that's why independents are disapproving of the job president biden is doing to the tune of 65%. democrats are going to wear that in midterm elections and i think another thing that we need to consider is just how pissed

i want to start by really thanking our leader, our speaker nancy pelosi and secretary butagy for joining or maybe mayor, i like to call him mayor still because he served as the mayor but we are proud of his work as transportation secretary because it is definitely needed, having a mayor's perspective is so important because he really understands what it takes to get projects like this done and thank you for bringing us all here today. i want to recognize city staff, many who have worked tirelessly to plan and build this project and thank the community for their patience during the many, many years of construction. we know transit is the backbone of this city and our priority right now is on our recovery and reopening. that means bringing back the transit routes and connections that our communities rely on to get to work and school and around the city or come out on a beautiful day and hang out in china town. what we know is that when we invest in transportation, it benefits our city and it benefit peoples lives and in april we opened up finely the van necessary bus rapid transit system w

and what is nancy pelosi's concern? enough migrant hands to pick grapes in vineyards in napa valley? first of all, let's be very clear, these migrant workers are not coming here to pick grapes in nancy pelosi's vineyard. they are coming here for blue collar and middle class jobs. whether it be in the service industry. whether it be in the construction industry, whether it be working at a local office taking phone calls. complete mythology that they're even doing these jobs in the first place. democrats want cheap labor by any means necessary. even if it means stuffing tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors in horrific conditions in a shelter where they are trying to kill themselves sees them as disposable lies. sex traffic. human traffic, to keep the bottom line flowing to the democrat party. that's what this is about. and that's what is on the ballot pick grapes in vineyards on napa valley. paul pelosi is going to mow you down with his porch. that's something else they have to look out for. not just the coyotes. it'

how speaker nancy pelosi is on a visit to russia's close. i live on media with pledge is to secure democracy and security. don't don't go terabyte warns russia against using nuclear weapons in response to ukraine's counter offenses. plus what you see behind me are flowers in a very unlikely place. coming up, i'll tell you about a wonder of nature in the at the comma, the world's try us desert. ah, ah. for thousands of people in london, sunday is their last chance to pay their respects to the only monarch. many had ever known the cue to westminster hall is now. this is now more than 6 kilometers long. some people have been waiting for 13 hours or more. they now have less than 24 hours to view the queen lying in state. the state funeral on monday is likely to be the biggest event ever hosted in london. he was president joe by an 1st lady jill by never lived in london for the funeral. he's one of nearly 100 president some heads of state who will attend the ceremony at westminster abbey on monday. let's take you live now to london now says alan

he has more on nancy pelosi visit. she's just again the united states valued deeply. the democratic values here, she said that the, this was a country was very important in the fight between democracy and autocracy. she didn't make any specific security guarantees. she said that the united states had committed to helping armenia develop the economy. and it was here to listen to the security needs and requests from the armenian government. she but she didn't make any specific commitments. there was those to have the united states might back that up. nonetheless, i think it was a message of very wholehearted support. the fact that she is the most senior american to visit since became independent 30 years ago, i think was taken by many here. it's being very supportive. the fact that she went to the genocide memorial 1st thing this morning to show her the support there. i think was very significant as well. and she's, she's in meetings with the prime minister today. i think overall, the message from the united states is that they are committed to backing up on media here.

watch. >> nancy pelosi! >> todd: boos ring out, president biden and jill biden also touting the administration accomplishment and fighting climate change chuck schumer also made an apeerance. >> carley: top lawmakers calling out reservists to fight invasion of ukraine, officials calling the move excessive saying recent protests over putin's troop mobilization are justified and zelenskyy telling the press he believes putin's recent nuclear threats are more than just posturing. >> he knows that he's losing the war, yesterday it was beloved and now could be a reality. these are first steps of his nuclear blackmail, we need to keep putting pressure on him and not allow him to continue. >> carley: russian's war on ukraine is dragging through the seventh month. >> todd: italy elected a new prime minister, she could be the first female prime minister and head of the most right wing government since world war ii. scalise reacted to the election on sunday morning futures. >> people in communities are getting crushed.

as of iron, has condemned nancy pelosi for her comments on the poor. the conflict with armenia calling them a serious blow to peace efforts. it's a foreign ministry described policy as a known pro armenian politician, and grounded her remarks as unsubstantiated and unfair. as valiant says the latest fighting was the result of a large scale military provocation by armina. charles stratford reports from the town of shisha, which was retaken by us by john in the war with amelia. in 2020. the town you can see behind me in the valley. there is what's at the armenians calls their planet. killed the ass aries, give it another name. they call it a con ken dees, the perma. kurt is called into the as air is occupied, illegally by the armenians. this is very much a frontline in the self declared republic of no gore. no, kara, back a republic that not a single country, not even armenia recognizes. now this particular area, as every forces took back control of it in 2020 after what they describe is it being occupied by armenians for 30 years. interestingly, oscar t

nancy pelosi might be target number one. chuck schumer is already throwing her under the bus reportedly telling people behind the scenes that nancy's quote in big trouble. now, even cnn is openly saying pelosi's time has come. >> it is time for nancy pelosi to step aside. cbp spoke with more than two dozen democratic members and this con keep success emerged, the speaker should not continue as democratic leader if the party loses its house majority in the november midterms. >> if we managed to hold onto the majority, maybe nancy pelosi would want her to stick around, but, if we don't, then her time is done. >> pete: when you've lost cnn, when pelosi was confronted about all of this, she just brushed it off. >> if democrats do retain the house, do you plan to seek another term as speaker why or why not? >> right now, my focus is on holding the house. >> would you like to answer brian's question about your own future had. >> no. i said first we are going to win. and that's really the issue. okay? >> and then? >> did you not --

what else did nancy pelosi have to say today? for she, she's just again the united states valued deeply, the democratic values here. she said that the, this was a country, it was very important in the fight between democracy, an autopsy. she didn't make any specific security guarantees. you said that the united states had committed to helping armenia develop its economy, and it was here to listen to the security needs and requests from the armenian government. she but she didn't make any specific commitments. there was those to have the united states my back that up. nonetheless, i think it was a message of very wholehearted support. the fact that she is the most senior american to visit since became independent 30 years ago, i think was taken by many here. it's been very supportive, the fact that she went to the genocide memorial 1st thing this morning to show her the support there, i think was a very significant as well. and she's, she's in meetings with the prime minister today. i think overall, the message from the united sta

. >> i think nancy pelosi. [laughter] is the gutsiest woman in politics right now because she has shown through all kinds of turmoil and challenge what it means to, somewhat like the queen, to be drawing an analogy here, get up every day, put on theist those high heels she wears, suit up to fight for the values and ideals that she strongly believes in. >> steve: okay. well that certainly puts an end to that question about the comparisons to queen and others. maybe. >> brian: case closed. >> steve: simple longevity when it comes to somebody in the public eye because nancy pelosi has been a public servant for years. but, still, to put her in the same category with the queen, i mean, the queen was the queen for 70 years. she was like zelle leg in so much as you look throughout history there is the queen with churchill, there is the queen with truman, there is the queen with roosevelt, there is the queen with everybody. >> brian: there is nancy pelosi tearing up the state of the union. >> ainsley: good point. and s

and we will fire nancy pelosi. [applause] and with that, i will like to introduce the man who is quarterbacked the efforts of the republicans in congress to fight against the biden, pelosi agenda. he is fighting every day for us. on november 8, we will take the majority in the house of representatives and kevin mccarthy will be the next speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy. [applause] rep. mccarthy: thank you. we are going to win this race. before i begin, i would like to thank donnie for hosting us today. by the time that year was over, i will have visited almost 50 states. met with people like you in coffee shops, diners, dfw halls, community centers, machine shops here at dawn. over the past month alone, i have traveled to more than in 20 states and met with over a hundred republican candidates and members and thousands of their constituents. tonight, i want to share with you what i heard from americans across this country. what is clear to me and clear to you is that washington and the white house are not liste

you have nancy pelosi saying not only are democrats going to hold on to control of the house, they are going to expand their majority, but our friends at the newsletter say behind closed doors, chuck schumer is saying nancy pelosi and the house democrats are in troub. what are you hearing? marianna: exactly that. many people were wondering why pelosi was so optimistic. you definitely felt on the house side this was the first [indiscernible] you definitely felt the upbeat move that democrats -- upbeat mood that democrats were feeling. it came after senator graham, and there is a companion bill in the house that introduced that federal ban that they think, when we are talking about being on the campaign trail, talking about making a difference between democrats and republicans, well, this is the extreme maga republicans that will take away more of your freedom. they were feeling that energy, but many people were thinking maybe pelosi was feeling too much of that. one thing to note, during that press conference, she got asked if she wants to still stay in leadership regardless of what hap

adding nancy pelosi could be in you believe tr. he believes trump will run in 2024. people say president biden has struggled to unite the country. >> the country was already divided to an extent extent, biden didn't help. >> he is trying to be a unifier, it is rough right now. >> everything he is doing is totally the wrong thing. >> carley: there has been criticism of the gop not having a solid platform to run on, house minority leader made it clear what they will do when they win back the house. >> we're going to unite america with a plan, restore america to where we need to be commitment to america, make us energy independent, bring back the supply chain from china to america to create american jobs, let parents have a say in their kid's education and hold these government accountable. >> carley: recent poll shows americans believe the biden administration is incomtent and not effective with 52% not having faith in the administration. inflation fears with 78% americans, many saying inflation is causing financial hardship. separate poll, party preference was close.

ladies and gentlemen, the honorable nancy pelosi, speaker of the united states house of representatives. good morning, everyone. as speaker of the house, it is my privilege to welcome you to statuary hall. as we celebrate an american who personifies the dare, ing and determined spirit of our nation. amelia earhart. on behalf of the congress, thank you all to the leaders who fought so relentlessly for nearly a quarter of a century to ensure that amelia takes her rightful place here in the capitol. now, at this time, please stand as you are able for the presentation of the colors and the national anthem. of oh oh. oh. oh say time you divided on your life. it was so. maybe there were twilight's last gleaming. whose stripes and rise was through all the power of spite or the we've all all colored on telly streaming and the rocky o the bombs bursting within get free thrills on all and all for love was still there who said, cause all stars spangled banner god then what the land of the free and the home of all bread never. ladies and gentlemen, please remain standing for the invocation delivere

whenen that published we asked nancy pelosi at a press conference brian metzger on our team what do you think of this, should members of congress ultimately be able to trade stock and play the market while they are on capitol hill and the answer she gave at the time was, and i'man paraphrasing, it's a freera market economy and membes of congress should be able to participate in that economy so in essence, she endorsed the status quo. what happened after that is kind of a curious confluence of the facts. you had on the left members of congress such as alexandria, the representative from new york and elizabeth warren the senator from massachusetts saying that's not good and that's not what we want. we want to do something different. we need to band members of congress from trading stocks because the current rules of the road or not working and then you have some republicans who also were effectively saying the same thing. you had a josh hawley the senator from missouri, later donald trump and kevin mccarthy more or less saying we need the absolute consideration of banning them from tradin
