During her conversation with host Margaret Brennan, Pelosi reflected on the lasting effects of the January 6 events, noting how it still affects her personally, as her husband continues to recover from injuries related to the attack. She emphasized that the consequences of that day are ongoing and not something that can be easily put behind.

Pelosi also commented on a documentary Trump showcased at Mar-a-Lago that questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election results. She found it distressing that, despite Trump’s loss, he continued to push the false narrative that the election was stolen. Pelosi noted that this effort was particularly "sad," especially as the country was moving forward with accepting the Electoral College results.

Trump had previously indicated that he would consider pardoning many of those arrested during the Capitol riot, particularly those charged with trespassing. Brennan asked Pelosi whether the intent behind such offenses, including violent actions, would influence her judgment. Pelosi responded by acknowledging that some individuals may not have participated in the violence, but underscored the significance of the Capitol and the attack on it. She recalled the leadership of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and how the Capitol dome, despite its symbolic importance, was nearly not built due to wartime concerns. She stressed that what happened on January 6 was a tragic event, and the country cannot deny its severity.

Pelosi’s remarks reflect her ongoing concerns about the impact of the Capitol attack and the message sent by Trump’s potential pardons.
