Nancy Pelosi

Donald Trump is what she wasn't ready for.

It's what none of us were ready for.

But now we know exactly who he is.

A man who is so addicted to power, he'll topple any person or institution or country he can hold on to it.

Joining me now is House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California.

It's great to see you.

I know this day is so difficult for everybody who lives in this city, and I thought of you a lot today.

I knew I was going to talk to you, but just given everything that happened, everything we all watched,

Now we have the current House speaker refusing to put a commemorative plaque.

We have Donald Trump, who's, of course, president again, still lying about 2020, pushing this absolutely offensive and ludicrous website.

How is this sitting with you five years later?

And yet all these years later, I remember the days after, I remember watching you lead in that moment and in the days after, you heard from so many Republicans who spoke out in the moment.

And they've seemed to kind of lose their voices is one way of diplomatically putting it, but not bravely speak out as they should or just not speak out and say the truth.

How much do you think?

That has led us to where we are at this moment.

No, and we want to keep working to preserve the memory of what happened that day.

I wanted to play part of Jack Smith's testimony.

It was so incredibly powerful.

I've been saying we didn't all even know the sound of his voice, really, until they shared this all.

But let's play that.
