Nancy Pelosi was giving an interview on MSNBC and what she said

really raised a lot of flags in regards to the Israel versus Hamas situation

It left a lot of people wondering, you know, has Nancy missed the plot here

Is it just over for her? Is it time for her to retire? Because what she said definitely angered a lot of the Jewish community

but it also angered a lot of people who just have common sense, right

And I think what Pelosi did here was show us kind of the weak-kneed reaction that Democrats have for things and it's the reason we don't trust them with our national security

So again, speaking on MSNBC, which is very I want to say their hosts

are a lot more sympathetic to the Palestinian cause than perhaps Fox News or even CNN

And so Nancy knows how to play to her audience. Let's take a look. I'm going to ask about one of the things, you know, one of the pressing reasons

there's a government shutdown that will happen and obviously as the president announced in that primetime speech, aid, right

An aid package to Ukraine and to Israel. Those are the pressing concerns for a policy agenda

I want to ask about the Israel portion of that because we've talked about some of the internal factions in the Republican Party and

in the Democratic Party, I think there's widespread consensus and support for that aid package

but there are about two dozen members who are now calling for a ceasefire and sponsoring a resolution concerned about escalation and what it would mean both at a humanitarian and strategic level

I wonder if you are having intra-caucus conversations about those concerns, if you share those concerns and where you think the party goes next on this the next step in this

very, very difficult situation. Well, first let me just say that our priority right now is to get the

hostages freed. I thought that what Secretary Blinken said today at the United Nations

was calling for humanitarian pause in the military actions so that we can

try to find a more peaceful path and especially right away to get more hostages freed

Not just American, although that's our responsibility, but all the hostages freed

The, um, as ceasefire, I think the humanitarian pause is the appropriate way to go

Look, what Hamas did was barbaric in Israel. It was barbaric. It was outside the circle of civilized human behavior

And if it happened to your family, you would want justice. I'm not talking about revenge. I want just, I'm saying justice. So there has to be

some, um, other place we go instead of just saying let's have a ceasefire. I mean, we had a ceasefire in May

That was broken by Hamas on October 7th. So let's remember that. But the, the, um

there may be some, a few votes in our caucus who may not support the package, but I think by and large it will be

overwhelmingly supported. We just have to get a speaker on the Republican side. They won. They've got the confidence of the American people

Now, they should show they're worthy of that confidence by at least electing a leader

a speaker, so that we can conduct the business of Congress. And that includes coming forth with this package and then keeping government open after that

But to your point, I think there may be a few votes from against, and some of the, those votes have been vocal, but overwhelmingly there will be support for it. Well, yes

You're right. On the Democratic side. The order of operations here requires a Speaker of the House before any of that can happen, at least as the rules are currently

constituted, though, who knows what tomorrow will bring. Congresswoman and Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, always a pleasure to have you on

Thank you, Matt. Now, imagine if somebody told us after 9-11, don't go for revenge, just go for justice

And I understand. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord. I understand that, but there is a human desire for revenge

And I think to tell the Israelis to not want revenge at this point, even if they don't, even if, even if cooler heads prevail and they don't seek revenge

to not want it is not a human reaction. It is a reaction we should all aspire to, right? Not want vengeance

But it's not very common. And I think the Israeli people are looking for a pound of flesh here, and I don't blame them

But at the very least, you have to take out Hamas. You have to finish them off

It's better for the Israelis. It's better for the Palestinian people. It's better for the entire Mideast to get rid of a terrorist organization
