What are the implications of Trump's actions on accountability?
When the political winds change, will there be accountability for those who bent the knee for the Trump administration?
If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules and say, oh, never mind, we'll forgive you, I think they've got another thing coming.
I'm Preet Bharara, and this week, Ambassador Susan Rice joins me to discuss leadership, decision-making, and the state of the rule of law in America. The episode is out now. Search and follow Stay Tuned with Preet wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Jessica Tarlow. And today I'm joined by Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. She's hands down one of the most, if not the most, consequential lawmaker of the last half century. Madam Speaker, I'm so honored to have you.
How does Nancy Pelosi view military tensions with Iran?
My pleasure to be with you and my honor as well. Thank you. Thank you.
This is, like, so exciting for me. In today's episode, we're discussing President Trump escalating tensions with Iran as Congress moves to assert its war powers, the arrest of Prince Andrew in the U.K., and growing Democratic calls for the U.S. to end what they describe as an Epstein cover-up. And we go through some of the speaker's most iconic memeable moments. There's a lot of news to get to. Just this morning, President Trump convened his inaugural Board of Peace in Washington, D.C., to announce the reconstruction efforts in Gaza. And all of this is happening as we look like we move closer to a major clash with Iran.
What insights does Pelosi provide about NATO and human rights?
He was briefed last night on our military options. Some people think there could even be a strike as soon as this weekend. Huge military buildup in the region, reports that China and Russia are joining the Iranian naval exercises. What are you thinking right now about what will happen and what do you see as an ideal outcome?
Well, I hope the president would be thinking about some of these things. I just returned from Munich a couple of days ago, and Secretary Rubio, in his speech, went at great lengths to condemn the United Nations for not settling the Ukraine crisis and Gaza and the rest of that and other things. Condemning it, really, it was not even subject of discussion there. We were talking about Ukraine and the rest, but he didn't mention Ukraine except that UN did not... Settle that crisis. And then during the Q&A, he did answer on Ukraine.
How should Democrats strategize around the Epstein files?
We're in Europe where everybody is concerned of what's happening to their neighbor and what could happen to them. And he comes in and talks about the United Nations. So as it relates to this peace crisis, I wouldn't even call it an idea that the president has, charging a billion dollars to join, but I'll let some of you in free if you're my friend or something like that. This is really getting to the point of serious malfeasance as far as being a world leader is concerned. These countries have their fears of him, want to schmooze him, whether that idea is a good idea or not. He talks about peace and he bombships in the Caribbean. He threatens Iran. I mean, when we had an agreement, a nuclear agreement under President Obama, which he then canceled.
So if you hear frustration in my voice, it's because of his inexperience and his threat to these countries.
What are the challenges related to election integrity?
Frankly, I think he's in it for the money. You know, you want to buy our chips? Two billion dollars and my son's company. You know, that kind of thing. And that goes along with some of his cabinet members as well. What's in it for him? And now WHO, he's going to spend much more money when he took us out of the World Health Organization to put our own plan there, which will cost billions more. So there's security. whether it's health, whether it's governance, whatever test you may put him to, he is taking us down the wrong path and he's making matters worse.
So connecting that to what may happen even in the next few days in Iran, and obviously you've been a great advocate for human rights the world over throughout your entire career, very concerned about the Iranian people who have been so brave.
