Join Nancy Pelosi for an intimate and candid conversation about her journey from housewife to House Speaker, as she shares stories, insights, and inspiration from her recent memoir, The Art of Power.
Discover how she became one of the most powerful women in American political history — a master legislator, a key partner to presidents, and the most visible leader of the Trump resistance.
Nancy Pelosi was the first woman not only to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but also to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to transforming health care. Among the best-prepared and hardest working Speakers in history, Pelosi worked to find common ground, or stand her ground, with presidents from Bush to Biden. Hear her discuss the perseverance, persuasion, and respect for her members that it took to succeed. She also shares moving moments with soldiers sent to the front lines, women who inspired her, and human rights activists who fought by her side.
Taking positions that established her as a prophetic voice on the major moral issues of the day, warning early about the dangers of the Iraq War and of the Chinese government’s long record of misbehavior, her moral courage prepared her for the arrival of Trump, with whom she famously tangled, becoming a red-coated symbol of resistance to his destructive presidency. She went toe-to-toe with Trump, leading up to January 6, 2021, when he unleashed his post-election fury on the Congress. Join us as she gives us her personal account of that day — as well as the day, two years later, when an intruder viciously attacked her beloved husband Paul inside their own home.
The woman who has been lauded by her opposition as “the most powerful Speaker” ever shows us why she is not afraid of a good fight. The Art of Power is about the fighting spirit that has always animated her, and the historic legacy that spirit has produced.
