PELOSI: "I've attended meetings with presidents for the past 15 years as a leader. I would never say what a president says in a meeting. I would say what I say in a meeting. I wouldn't say what one of my colleagues says in a meeting. That's up to them to say. But the Republicans want out and said President Trump said that he won the popular vote by 3 to 5 million votes. So that made it in the public domain. And Chuck Schumer went out and said, Nancy said that's not true, Mr. President, there's no evidence to support that. So that's in the public domain, that I said that to him, because I ready to -- and when I said that, it's not true. There's no evidence to support that. And he said, and I'm not even counting California! (Laughter) So my reaction to it was -- I feel sorry for you. You're the president of the United States, and you're so insecure, A. This isn't even true. It's like the size of your inauguration. (Laughter) And I pray for you, Mr. President. I pray for you. But more importantly, I pray for the United States of America. Because this is really sad. There is no evidence to support that. But you know what it is? It's a predicate for the president to go out there and say there's voter fraud rampant throughout the country, which is not true. And we've asked every attorney general in the country to come forth with the names of anybody they think that has voted illegally in our country. Can we talk on a positive vein now? I mean, let's say -- this is last week -- we didn't go through the incompetence and recklessness of the ban, we didn't go through the appointment of a person who doesn't even support Supreme Court precedent to the court of the United States. I thought you were going to ask me, are we going to work with the president and I would say, where we can engage, we certainly will. We have that responsibility to the American people, to find our common ground. Where we can't find it, we must stand our ground. We must resist. And if we can build infrastructure, not necessarily the wall, if we can build infrastructure, our roads, our bridges, our broadband, our water systems, et cetera, high speed rail, mass transit, let's find a way to do that together. We can find ways to work family and work balance, as he said in the campaign, was a priority, let's do that."
