RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
++BEGINS AND ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Washington – 24 July 2025
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Nancy Pesoli, Speaker Emerita:
(Reporter: Do you have any second thoughts? Any second thoughts about what happened last summer?)
“Second thoughts? I don’t have any second thoughts, but I do have a second thought about the Republicans. If they want to measure mental acuity or sanity, they ought to look to their own president. Because a president of the United States who was asked one question and answers by saying President Obama is guilty of treason, he is not of sane mind.”
(Reporter: And have you had a chance to talk with President Biden at all?)
“We spoke both on Ethel Kennedy’s funeral, so that was one time when we were together. But no, I have no second thoughts. I think that he was a great president. He accomplished remarkable things in a two-year period where we had the majority. He had accomplishments that were seen in the same light as LBJ and Franklin Roosevelt. He didn’t have as long a tenure as they did. But he had the quality of legislation, make a difference in people’s lives. It’s unfortunate that it went down this path, but I think that history will treat him well because he did great things for our country, a super patriot, loved America, honored our Constitution, a big contrast to what we have now.”

STORYLINE:
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sat down with The Associated Press on Thursday on Capitol Hill.
She spoke about a variety of topics, including her thoughts on President Donald Trump’s second term.
“It’s always a mystery to me how disrespectful he is of the office he holds, how unpatriotic he is in terms of the institutions of our government, how unwilling he is to honor his oath of office and protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, that he still has a following,” Pelosi said,
Pelosi was asked if she had any thoughts on former President Joe Biden stepping off the Democratic ticket.
“Second thoughts? I don’t have any second thoughts, but I do have a second thought about the Republicans. If they want to measure mental acuity or sanity, they ought to look to their own president. Because a president of the United States who was asked one question and answers by saying President Obama is guilty of treason, he is not of sane mind,” Pelosi said.
