Very impressive interview with an extraordinary woman politician. I love and respect this woman. She's the best House Speaker America has ever had

I cant imagine what they went through with trump, what a piece of work

[DonnaC-wf]

The best Speaker of the House in our lifetime

The "right" loves to disparage her, but she is an incredible woman.

Nancy Pelosi is so impressive. So classy and smart- huge respect.

Just listening to Nancy Pelosi -- and other top Democrats -- compared to the "new" GOP leaders, one is struck by the difference in the way they speak about nearly everything. Ms. Pelosi is clear and articulate and relates facts and the MAGA (as the GOP really is now) people rant and use a lot of name calling when asked about literally anything.

Nancy, you did the right thing, you knew what was needed for the country

Nancy is what real leadership looks like...

I’m listening to the book on Spotify. Love it!

Outstanding interview! Well done Alex. You drew out the Speaker Emerita in a way I have not heard from her. The first answer she gave about the first official meeting with the new president showed the true danger of trump as president. Pelosi's response to trump at that meeting, as she described it, was pure and appropriate; his reply a warning about the turbulent days ahead.

How wonderfully intelligent and articulate. Much like the next POTUS!!! Thank you for your service, Nancy. Go Kamala!!!

[wryandwatchful]

There’s something about narcissists that draws in people who lack critical thinking.

[gerrydick]

Got to buy her book in Australia! Wonderful Nancy!

Let’s stop the hatred, stupidity, ignorance, …
We’re not going back.

Love 💕 lot of love for Nancy . For everything she done for this land in such a crucial time like now .

[annemariaosullivan]

Trump his son, members of the GOP and Elon Musk mocking the attack on her husband was despicable. So hurtful for a family dealing with the trauma. They have no morals or decency.

[lipdavis]

Thank you, Nancy. I will be reading your book.

I love how Nancy Pelosi continues to school and get under the thin skin of tRUMP.

[KayWagner-jk]

So hard to believe he got into the White House!
