Nancy Pelosi Stuns Democrats - Endorses Republican For Speaker

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and former House

Speaker and California Representative Nancy Pelosi has just stunned everyone in Washington

D.C. by giving her endorsement to a Republican to become the next Speaker of the House

Yes, a Republican. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe

Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow

Now the former Speaker was on CNN when she gave her endorsement not to Jim Jordan, not

to Steve Scalise, not even to McCarthy. She gave her endorsement to current Speaker pro-tempore Patrick McHenry

Now I'm going to tell you something about this, but I'm going to let her tell you first

and then I'm going to explain to you what it really means. Just take a look. It will be up to Hakeem and we all have confidence in him

Okay, so you'll go along with the current leader, but that's interesting what you just

said because there have been a lot of discussions about expanding Patrick McHenry who is just

a temporary Speaker right now, expanding his powers. You're saying no, he just has to be full Speaker

Full Speaker. You have to elect him Speaker, otherwise... When you say elect him Speaker, you mean have the votes on the floor, but just do it for

a limited amount of time? Limited amount of time. And the other aspects of it relate to what agreement we could come to

I don't know what their vote is on the Republican side. I would hope that this could be a consensus vote, but it just depends on the scope, the

language and time. One more question on that. Does there need to be a promise for bipartisan legislation to ensue to go through the House

after such an agreement if Democrats were on the board? That will be up to Hakeem Jeffries

Got it. But this is very much related, of course, to what's happening not only in the Middle

East but in Ukraine because the President is going to speak tonight and he's going to

make the argument that the American people, taxpayer dollars should be spent to help support

these two democracies, particularly Israel. You can't do that if there's no House Speaker

That's right. Well, we'll have to have a House Speaker and I hope that, shall we say, there'll be some

order, the House will be in order and that we can go forward. But to take, before we get to that place, let me say our President has been just so strong

He just understands so well the relationship between the United States and Israel as our

values partner, as our strategic partner, and also our role in the world to be respectful

of other people. So I think that he has handled all this magnificently as he did with Ukraine

He has been a great global leader. You mentioned America's role in the world

I don't need to tell you hundreds of thousands of Gazans, they're trying to..

If Nancy Pelosi's giving you the endorsement as a Republican, you're a rhino

You are not who we're looking for. If she's comfortable with you, we're not comfortable with you

This tells you everything you need to know about Washington, D.C. This is the uniparty

They want a uniparty Speaker, a uniparty candidate. I think, honestly, McCarthy was pretty good

I think he shouldn't have been pushed out. I certainly think he shouldn't have been pushed out without a plan to replace him and I think

that was a strategic mistake. If we get stuck with McHenry, he's more in that D.C. cabal than McCarthy could ever dream

of being. Now, I want to know what you guys think about who you want for Speaker, so let me know in

the comments. Also, please remember to like, share, and subscribe. It really helps us out

I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care, everybody
