Video: What does Pelosi know about Gingrich?

>>> tom brokaw is here with his take on the state of the presidential race . tom, good to see you, some state, isn't it?

>> a win in south carolina to building a moon base in the second term.

>> let me talk to you about nancy pelosi and newt gingrich . she makes this comment saying newt gingrich will not be president, there's something i know. now that in itself sounds -- pretty alarming. but if you go back and add to that something she said in an interview in december, she said one of these days, to an interviewer, one of these days we'll have a conversation about newt gingrich . i know a lot about him. i served on the investigative committee that investigated him. four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. 1,000 pages of his stuff. clearly, she's hinting that she learned something that will make, will disqualify him as president. does she have the right to back out now and back off of that?

>> i think that she should come clean with the public. if she found out something in the course of that investigation that she is holding and it appears for political purposes, that's outrageous. i think that the speaker has to be very unhappy about that. on the other hand --

>> speaker gingrich.

>> right. if she doesn't know something, i think she has to say, look, i didn't learn anything in there that the public didn't learn. i'm just talking about what the evidence was and we think that is enough to disqualify him for the presidency. i think she has to go a lot farther than she has so far in terms of her ole in that investigation which me xi may have learned in the meetings in going through those files.

>> we've asked speaker pelosi to join us here this morning. she said she had a scheduling conflict. we'll keep our schedule open whenever she can clear hers.

>>> let's move on to newt gingrich in the race. after his win in florida , a lot -- i mean in south carolina . a lot of pundits were still saying this was mitt romney 's race to lose. if newt gingrich wins in florida , will that change that thinking?

>> it's going to be a big blow to mitt romney if he loses florida . florida is not south carolina . south carolina was safe in the republican district, almost custom-built for newt gingrich . florida is larger state, cosmopolitan. their old friend tim russert used to say florida , florida , florida . it's a play in play. it's a swing state . this is a big deal for mitt romney if newt gingrich loses in florida , my guess is he'll go on and i think he'll go on under any circumstances.

>> during the state of the union address , the president said that anyone who tells you that america is in decline doesn't know what they're talking about. yet we look at polling a lot. some of our own polls. you ask people, do you think the country is on the right track. and i've seen numbers as high as 64%, tom, saying no, we're on the wrong track. does the president need to be more realistic with that subject?

>> well i think what he's talking about are the fundamentals. it is still the underlying economy is stronger than any other in the world. china is coming up fast, but we're still the number one economy. we have rule of law. we've got a great education system , even though it's troubled. so on the state of the union speech you're kind of engaged in some hyperbole. this election is going to be all about the economy, probably in the fall. there's some unforeseen things that will occur. but people really are responding to the fact that they don't feel secure about their economic future and that is a big piece of national security . most of all, as i said here before, matt. i for the first time in my journalistic career, parents are coming to me and saying, i don't think my kids going to have the life i've had. that's been an essential part of the american dream .

>> for an example, you were out in california talking to people out there, a state that is struggling mightily.

>> jerry brown was saying california is on the mend. they have reduced the deficit by 60%, they've got good news on unemployment in california , it's down to 11% at this point. he's going to ask the state to raise taxes on themselves, especially the wealthy, come november. this is a very, very big play for him. but there is, if not a light at the end of the tunnel , there's a faint glow on the horizon on the economy. and that's giving people some hope. the federal reserve says it won't be until 2014 that we have a full recovery. that's a long slog ahead.

>> tom brokaw , tom, good to see you.

>>> great to see you.
