  • In an interview for the FRONTLINE documentary “Pelosi’s Power,” David Axelrod, who served as a campaign strategist and political adviser to President Barack Obama, discusses Nancy Pelosi’s early life and how it shaped her political career.
    “She is completely formed by her experiences as the daughter of a ward boss and mayor of Baltimore,” he tells FRONTLINE. “She has the sensibilities of an old-time ward boss.”
    Axelrod is the director of the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago and a political commentator for CNN.
    The following interview was conducted by FRONTLINE’s Michael Kirk on Nov. 4, 2021. It has been edited for clarity and length.
    “Pelosi’s Power” premieres March 22, 2022.
    This interview is being published as part of FRONTLINE’s Transparency Project, an effort to open up the source material behind our documentaries. Explore the transcript of this interview, and others, on the FRONTLINE website: www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/ab...

      I doubt it will happen. The media and industrial complex destroyed the last populist president (Trump) and brought the other great populist to heel (Sanders). We will only see insiders from both parties for some time. Both candidates in 2024 will be hand picked. If Biden continues with such low approval I see him being forced out due to "declining health". If Biden goes the distance he will have spent nearly sixty years inside the political machine.

      @@gfscfinance8866 Dark money!! I don’t understand “soft money” nothing donated to politicians by billionaires/millionaires, corporations, lobbyists even unions {ideally unions have their membership’s (working & middle class voters) concerns at heart} hasn’t got strings attached. But dark money - no names just a committee to elect name - obscuring the Donation’s source. Knowing the source often allows us all to accurately deduce how the powerful want congress to vote or legislate. No one likes to be on the receiving end of ulterior motives, we want to clearly know who wants what. Mostly to conduct business or personal affairs - even the affairs of government - honestly. Also, there is way too much money spent on campaigns- those who donate the most money put the rest of us at a huge disadvantage. It’s like a guy with $1000.00 in poker chips playing a guy with $100,000.00 in chips & no betting limit. The rich guy just buys the hand, there’s no real skill or challenge to the game, not really gambling.

      As I did not understand the term soft money I looked it up. I understand now that it’s money directed at a party not a specific politician’s campaign & it can come from a PAC so the donated funds are dark money in many cases - not linked to the actual donor’s name, which as stated in my first comment should be eliminated.

      I think the suit sags a bit. Especially around the neck/chin/lower lip area because his species don't have chins. Most don't know it, but Sen. McConnell (R-KY) secretly disdains humans for having chins. If you shout to him, "Hey Sen. McConnell! What about these chins everywhere on the planet, amirite?" he'll either, a) pretend not to know what you're talking about, as he's a veteran at holding his disguise by now, or b) laugh because he knows exactly what you're talking about! He'll get the reference either way.

      Maybe you should understand what type of political system we live under, before spewing out regurgitated diatribe that’s been spoonfed to you vis a vis the corporate media.
      We live in a Republic, not a Democracy. There is a huge difference. Since I’m sure you’re not going to pick up any Plato or Aristotle anytime soon, let me try to help. The key reason we rely on a constitution republic or representative democracy is to avoid the tyranny or the masses. In a true democracy all the poor people could simply vote to take all the rich peoples money. Big problem.
      Now mark me, I’m no fan of the Turtle man, but I put him on the same standing as Pelosi. They are both basically Neo-lib globalists that put corporate donor interest above their constituents. Garbage humans that both should be booted out.
      Finally I’ll leave you with a fun fact, outside the purview of this little propaganda piece PBS put together. Outside of Schwartzenager, the state of California has been ruled over by the same 3 families that are all related. Brown, Newsom, and Pelosi… yes, they are the family that has single handedly overseen the utter destruction of the Golden State… my home.

    Her time has passed and she should step down. Her skill set and public image have fossilized. The sensibilities of an old school ward boss don't cut it any more. Her style of politics has led to stagnation and infighting in the government. In times like these, no politician is worthy of praise, and no wealthy politician, regardless of the source, can make objective decisions for the other 99% - it's simply cognitively impossible, and at her age, cognition is a concern. The nation needs her to make room for more capable, modern thinking officials.

      I just learned that a number of congressmen & women & members of the House of Representatives, in particular those in the armed forces committees, people privy to top secret information or any information, before the rest of us hear about the information or decisions this info leads them to make, have purchased stock in corporations that manufacture arms. These recent stock purchases were just days before voting as to whether & how much aid would be given to Ukraine. The delays in having NATO “close the sky” over Ukraine, as Zelensky is begging for, might not just be to prevent WW3. The no votes might be more related to money making. While in office, regardless of their committee assignments, they shouldn’t be allowed stock. Either be a business person or a politician. We want our leaders to have everyone’s best interest at heart not just their own greedy pockets to line.

They pander to their bases on surface level things that don’t matter, and make the same decisions on everything else. You’re just caught up with her because Trump despises both her and Clinton. Like, you have to be childish to think that politicians don’t lie for the sake of their agendas. Both left and especially the right do that without trying. They all know that no one actually pays attention to policy, that’s how Trump came in and dominated the Republican Party, because he knew he could win it on image alone. The dems have found that out too, which is why she “lies to win”, and can you blame her? If optics drives elections over policy, than all you can do is manipulate. And this started waaaaaay before Trump, he just struck the death nail. I think this elevation of making Pelosi into some looming enemy is so silly, that I almost find it funny, but can’t laugh because it really shows that most people build their political beliefs on no substance at all. You just hear the loudest people in the room and run with that. They’re not aware of policies or legislation being done, they just hate whoever their favorite personality tells them to without question. You could pluck any junior senator from congress, red or blue, and if you found out every detail about the decisions they made every day, you’d be appalled. They’re only smoke screen is to make a big deal about trivial issues so that you don’t pay attention when it matters, and clearly that works like a charm.

    I have been inspired by this interview as never before. I believe that “her kind” not only will be remembered,but will turn to our moral history and their own values ,to in fact, expose the horror of our neighbors at the border in cages and the torture of prisoners when our leaders begin to know the importance of right from wrong and they know that they must warn human beings of the disaster of ignorance of ambition and greed.Pelosi is not kidding when she insists on remembering the children,the children,the children. Five children and five brothers and 80 years old , is a testimony of most of our faith in this country…It is NOT prosperity faih …. It is true love ,it is unconditional love, and their are many leaders coming up that will follow “her kind”. Her kind is good and wholesome….but anyone stepping into the limelight today better first go to their innermost being and ask their family,their own mother and father,dead or alive if it’s right or wrong…for the children,the children the children,unborn and alive. Now it looks like our European ancestors are being forced to genocide. SAD
