Nancy Pelosi

In the final episode of Season 3 of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down with 84-year-old House Speaker Emerita and U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi. Nancy shares her love for the Grateful Dead, discusses the power of public sentiment, and fields Julia’s offer to help with a Saturday Night Live audition. Julia also asks Nancy about her pioneering mom, the recent presidential election, and the roots of the current vitriol in politics. Plus, Julia's 90-year old mom Judith reflects on the myriad ways Nancy is inspiring future generations – including Judith’s granddaughter Fia – and gets an incredibly unhelpful suggestion from Siri.

This month marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote in the United States. To mark the occasion, we bring you conversations with two iconic women, Nancy Pelosi and Condoleezza Rice. First is an interview with one of our nation’s most powerful women, Nancy Pelosi, who made history in 2007 by becoming the first woman to become Speaker of the House of Representatives. The second conversation, moderated by former White House Press Secretary and Fox News host Dana Perino, features Condoleezza Rice, the first African American woman to serve as Secretary of State and the first woman to serve as National Security Advisor. Speaker Pelosi and Dr. Rice talk about the women who inspired them, the trails they blazed, and their counsel to young women today to continue the fight for gender equity. The conversations in this episode were part of a program co-hosted on August 6, 2020, by the LBJ Presidential Library, the National Archives, the George and Barbara Bush Foundation, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the National Constitution Center, The 19th and All in Together.
