Thank you, Theo.

When the speaker who has admonished her her caucus on more than one occasion to, um, you know, present themselves with with, you know, decorum and so on and so forth.

She was just angry.

She ripped up the she ripped up the speech.

I was just texting with a source close to her, who said, I know this is probably a little obvious, but that was not plant that was that was an emotional moment.

That was a genuine reaction to what she just heard.

President ripped it up, threw it down.

And there are lots of reasons for that.

I mean, just on the substance of it, one of many reasons she would argue is because of what you just said about health care, him telling the American people in the world that he thinks that preexisting conditions she is going to guarantee that's a guaranteed guaranteed when, when he is in fact, in court fighting to take it away.

Mantle of dismantle obamacare.

I was at meeting with her and with Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, today, and they predicted that he would do exactly that They're also trying to turn the page back to health care, so they were prepared for that.

But the fact that you know both sides, everybody was everybody's so on edge.

And even in this moment, where usually they try toe be on their best behavior again, they didn't even try.

Didn't take very long Jake for the White House to react to Nancy Pelosi ripping up the president's speech and then just basically tossing it.

Well, then it would be political now practice for them not to do it.

It was such a visceral moment, as Dana points out, it was not planned by Speaker.

Pelosi was obviously done because she was upset at what the speech.

Waas, um, and the White House has now tweeted.

Speaker Pelosi just ripped up one of our last surviving Tuskegee airman.

The survival of the child born at 21 weeks, the morning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Muller, a service member's reunion with his family.

That's her legacy.

That's a quote that I'm reading.

Obviously, when Speaker Pelosi's asked about this, she's going to say that she did not have an issue with those moments about mourning families or families reuniting the Tuskegee airman.

That what the issue was that she was upset about obviously had to do with the more partisan moments of the speech, in her view.

But that is, of course, what we expected and Dana Bash and I were talking about that.

I just point out Speaker Pelosi just tweeted this.

That's what I was doing.

I didn't mean to be.

Go ahead.

Well, they're a couple things first of all, just staying on this topic.

Um, she told Fox up on Capitol Hill that the reason that she ripped up the speech is because that was the courteous thing to do.

She said that to a bunch of reporters.

Walk.

Yeah.

Okay.

So courteous, I guess, as opposed to throwing it at him.

I mean, something like that.

But the point that she was trying to make is she What she really wanted to do was a lot more lot harsher.

Been ripping it up.

So that was the nice thing that she that she would have found two d'oh.

But separately on the idea of the president, you know, kind of blowing off her attempted shake his hand.

This is what she said in a tweet just moments ago, and this is what you're referring to.

Wolf Democrats will never stop extending the hand of friendship to get the job done for the people.

We will work to find common ground where we can but will stand our ground where we cannot.

So one of the things that I think is interesting here is that Speaker Pelosi has been really effective at getting under Donald Trump's skin.

Uh, and she has done, I think, generally speaking, a pretty good job at not letting his attacks get to her.

While he makes it very clear when her attacks bother him, Ah, he has little outbursts on Twitter and the like.

I think we saw a little bit of the opposite here.

Donald Trump is having a week that is frustrating.

Lots of Democrats.

They had their Iowa imbroglio fiasco in the Iowa caucus.

We still don't know who won that that caucus, and we're still waiting for results.

President Trump's approval ratings, according to Gallup, are the highest they've ever been.

49% of proof, 50% disapprove.

That's much higher than they were when he was elected.

I think his approval rating with somewhere in the thirties and he still was elected.

Um, obviously is the State of the Union tomorrow.

Hey is about to be acquitted in the impeachment trial on impeachment that Speaker Pelosi did not even want to do so.

This is four Democrats of very, very frustrating week.

Ah, and I think that the speech, which I think was partisan I don't think it's odd that it was partisan.

But it was a partisan speech, really got under her skin, and she let it show that it bothered her in a way that usually she's better at fighting.

Touching this two point because one of the reasons why Nancy Pelosi in the past three years has become an iconic figure a real iconic finger among Democrats is because she is the person from their perspective, the only person, uh, who should be and could be their leader to go up against Donald Trump because she gets under his.

She plays it cool with her little hand with her applause with the hands like this camera's not showing me.

So when she did that whole thing like you know, she did that came out of the White House with her sunglasses on and her big.

There's all iconic toe liberal all those moments where, you know, kind of taking the White House photo that the president thought made her look like an angry woman.

And she's pointing it and just get her her her her profile picture on social media, all of those things.

And tonight felt different.

And the fact that she that she even is saying that ripping up a speech, something that there's no question that that kind of of of reaction would be and has been something that she admonished her own caucus not to.

D'oh!

Uh, it just shows you were in a completely different place.

They haven't spoken since October, having on the president, and you could see when he first walked in.

Normally they shake hands.

They pass along the presents, the advanced copy of the speech.

Afterwards, he didn't even turn around toe.

Look at the vice president, who is the president of the Senate or the speaker of the House.

He just walked right out, and at that point as he was walking out, she rips up the speech and I have to say that also, I mean, I see a lot of Republicans and social media talking about how horrible this moment was, how Speaker Pelosi has done away with norms that have lasted for for decades.

And I'm you know, I'm not gonna take issue with any of that.

But President Trump has been doing has done away with norms that have lasted for decades as well and many more of them.

So I mean again, this is gonna be one of these opportunities where one of these moments where we hear a bunch of people talk about how offended they were and maybe they are actually offended.

I mean, this was something Speaker Pelosi did.

That is certainly notable, and I could see people being a bothered by it.

But let's not forget also who she was reacting to and all the norms that he is.

Also not forget the impeachment of the president.

United States was impeached by the House of Representatives in that very chamber seven weeks ago, where he was speaker of the House.

She was in charge of the House of representative and the Democrats on as our White House team.

Our reporters and producers of the White House have been reporting, uh, it was very clear that this whole impeachment process has really gotten under the president's skin because even though he's gonna be acquitted tomorrow, 4 p.m. Eastern, he's not gonna be convicted.

He's not gonna be removed from office.

He's going to go down forever as an impeached president of the United States, and that has clearly irritated that bothers him.

And and I understand why it would bother him.

But, I mean, we hear a lot of Democrats say this is gonna be Speaker Pelosi.

He's always going to be impeached is going to be a stain on his record for the rest of his life.

Bill Clinton was impeached.

He had been given a primetime speaking slot in every single Democratic National convention since 2000.

So I mean it.

Yes, it will always be on his legacy.

President's irritates him.

I'm sure it irritates him.

It would irritate me, too, but I'm just saying, like presidents are able to go along and still be rather popular figures in their party even after they're on Pete, he's got you know he's gonna live with that, even though it irritates him.

You're probably right within that Republican base in that Gallup poll that came out today has him at 94 day job approval among Rip.

Exactly.

And with every day that passes, Hey is being told in being convinced by political advisors that as bad as it feels to be, um, impeached by the House of Representatives and that be your legacy, politically speaking, in his quest to be reelected, maybe not so bad.

Well, his approval rating among Republicans is up.

So it has had at least a limited effect of rallying Republicans around him, not Democrats and not independence.

We should point out, even in that same Gallup poll, but rattling Republicans around him and again, we see his effort this evening, a speech that I'm sure his his supporters, like Senator Santorum in the other room, really, really like.

The Republicans clearly are happy with him, and they want him to get re elected.
