so let's listen to rashida tlaib expanding on the point.he talked about the actual substance of what she said, which is impeachment. take a listen. >> i think people don't understand it goes way beyond what the mueller investigation is trying to attempt to do now and creating some sort of process to look into obstruction of justice, but you know the president of the united states is pretty his tore tobacco see that someone like himself has not with all his shady business deals across the country in the world, that he hasn't divested in his countrimpanies. i believe the president fully needs to no through the impeachment process. >> these freshmen have been paying attention. they didn't just get there. they know what he has been dealing with the last two years. >> right. this is a problem. there are 17 different investigations in various aspects of this administration. so on the point that he has done many things that are impeachable, i would certainly agree. nancy pelosi is in a somewhat difficult position. i think she is handling it correc

. >> at perth is -- just a few hours after being sworn in detroit congress member rashida tlaib made that clear with an profanity laced statement to impeach president trump. those comments overshadowed message from democratic leaders without their legislative addenda for the year ahead. a number of democrats said it was wrong and disrespect about to leave double down saying i will always speak truth to power #unapologetically me. impeachment is a divisive issue among democrats. party leaders are concerned that kind of talk could hurt their chances to regain the white house but it's an issue that many of these progressive lawmakers progressively campaigned on. another freshman making way alexandria ocasio-cortez was proposed a green new deal which aims for climate change and income inequality eliminating all industrial greenhouse gas emissions and paying for it by raising taxes on the most wealthy at 60 to 70%. on an interview on cbs "60 minutes" ocasio-cortez said she welcomes the label of new radical. >> i think it's only the radical that is change this country. abraham lincoln made

. >> that was democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib defending her use of an expletive to describe president and her hopes to impeach him. let's go to white house correspondent for the hill jordan fabian and alice miranda olsteen and kevin cerilli. when we listen to why she was explaining of why she used an expletive, that is one part of the debate and there's the part the democrats don't want to talk about and that is the word impeachment. >> they would much rather talk about the policy they want to pursue now that they're in the majority. there's been so much frustration that the democrats in the house have not even been able to get votes on bills they prioritize. so coming off the 2018 midterm election, which was in large part about health care, they really want to go on the offense on health care. so they are not pleased about this flap over impeachment. they want that to be sort of a very serious, measured discussion and not a rallying cry. >> so the president has called her comments disgraceful, as was mentioned. second of all, the new speaker pelosi said she did not like that language

let me throw this out about rashida tlaib. ndering if -- to set the profanity aside, i wonder if maybe this moment is significant, because congresswoman tlaib acted as the id of the democratic party. what a number of people have been thinking she said out loud. i wonder if that may be the real concern, matt? nancy pelosi has been trying to control the id of the democratic party for some time and focus 0en a policy agenda which could be legitimatety be derailed even if it's legitimately what many democrats are thinking and feeling? >> i don't think anything will get derailed thinking about impeachment. it's easy to think about as impeachment. sit on your hands and wait for mueller to do what he's doing. he's basically delivered most of the time during this process and trump and his supporters underdelivered on the various theories what's happening with the deep state on the other side. sit and wait that out anytime anyone gets out from over their skis too much, that disrupts the message somewhat. all that said, the fact this is

rashida tlaib, she previously served three terms in the state house. congresswoman e lisa slotkin of michigan's 8th district served in a variety of roles in the pentagon in the obama administration culminating as assistant defense secretary for security affairs. prior to that she worked on the u.s. intelligence committee including spending time in iraq with jobs in the cia, the national security council and the state department. and representative haley stevens started her career working for the obama administration's auto industry bailout and she worked her way to small and mid-sized manufacturers to adopt digital manufacturing weapons including creating job training programs. her colleagues elected her as one of the two co-presidents of the freshman class. new congress, new leaders. watch it all on c-span. >> vermont governor phil scott began his second term with a

c you can see that too by some of the members like rashida tlaib and alexandria ocasio-cortez who were to be part of this committee dan kildee who is part of the steering committee which is the committee that t chooses the members that are going to be on committees said that he chose these members because they are going to be aggressive in going after the trump administration. >> tucker: do you think that's a promise we should take seriously? w >> 100 percent, tucker. [laughter] think about it this way, tucker. so the democrats only have control of the house, right? there is only so much legislation can you really move forward. most of the bills passed in the house are going to go die inas the senate. what do you do as a body? their objective is going to be investigating the trump administration. this is going to be the primary goal of house democrats and, remember, too, alexandriaa ocasio-cortez, i think we have this tweet if we can put it up there. she put tweeted out to donte jr. i have a notice that don jr. has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the mueller investigation

just hours after being sworn into congress, michigan house democrat rashida tlaib made headlines with this comment about president trump. >> and when your son looks at you and says, mama, look, you won, bullies don't win. i said baby they don't because we're going to go in there and impeach the [ bleep ]. >> some on both sides of the aisle say tlaib went too far with her lang with. president trump had this response. >> her comments were disgraceful. this is a person that i don't know. i assume she's new. i think she dishonored herself and i think she dishonored her family. using language like this in front of her son and whoever else was there, i thought that was a great dishonor to her and to her family. >> but in an exclusive interview with cnn affiliate wdib, tlaib stood by her comments and the language she used. >> i think no one expects me to be anything but myself. the girl from southwest detroit, the little sas and attitude. i think, you know, president trump has messed -- met his match. i can tell you i've talked to a number of my colleagues, including congresswoman max seen w

rashida tlaib is reflecting the anger of her constituents. i totally understand that.ove to see the president held to the same pearl-clutching standards she's being held to. >> kirsten, does it help democrats to have somebody who's just started in congress and with all the concerns about impeachment, whether or not it's good for democrats, bad for democrats,ing this they will or won't pursue saying that? granted, it was a small event but in any event everything is videotaped now. >> until this happened, most people had no idea even who this person is and now everyone's acting like she's the leader of the democratic party and everything she says becomes law. she's one member of congress, she has an opinion. there are other members of congress who hold this opinion and that's legitimate. but she's not in the leadership of the democratic party and what's happening is the right wing outrage machine has started and they're trying to put this attention on it and claims this the plan for the democrats when at this point it's not. i'm not saying it never will be, but at this p

. >> we had rashida tlaib making headlines. she's one of the new members of congress, freshman democrat, used an ext used what happened to when they go low we go high? >> the truth is we're in a very different space and if you're upset about that but not upset about all the things that donald trump has done in the last two years or his sort of silence with respect to charlottesville, for example, among other things, then i think not only is that sort of unfortunate, but it really does say a lot about where we in this country right now. i don't -- look, it's not something i would do because that's just not what i would do. but i don't take away the anger and the angst that she probably feels in making that comment and what the folks in the room how they took it. but we are well passed that point of decorum. >> let me read you how a fell loy congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez is defending tlaib's language. she writes republican partnership poccracy at its fine northwest saying that trump admitting to sexual assault on tape is

i want to add about rashida tlaib who said in that private event, that she got five times more coverageng's racist comments. i now he is finally in trouble. you look at someone like mitt romney, who i know you are not a massive fan of -- >> sean: radical anti-semite. radical. >> news coverage. five -- i have been very clear about my feelings about louis farrakhan. >> sean: when are they going to get their assignments taken away? >> the committee members that associated with him? i don't know. look at what happened to the dnc dropping the women's march. five times, the negative coverage for rashida tlaib then to steve king, who had overtly racist comments. defend. >> louis farrakhan, for some reasons, put up a tweet not too long ago, comparing jews to termites. worthless because thatou we'd somehow still up. his account is not suspended. that isut what i mean about doue standards. louis farrakhan -- any conservative puts p up anything remotely like that, and the platform -- i know that because we have seen it over the last couple of months. >> i am not in any way, shape, or form, defendi

this is rashida tlaib is reflecting the anger. i totally understand that. love to see the president held to the same pearl clutching standards she's held to. >> does it help democrats though to have a somebody who is just started in congress, and with all the concerns about impeachment whether or not it's good nor democrats or bad. or something they are going to pursue or not. coming out and saying that granted as you said it was a small event. but everything is video taped. >> until this happened, most people had no idea even who this person is. now everyone is acting like she's the leader of the democrat party and everything is law. she's one member of congress. she has an opinion. there are other members of congress who hold this opinion. and there's that's perfectly legitimate. she's not in the leadership of the democratic party and it's a right wing rage machine. and they're trying to put this attention on it and claim this is the plan for the democrats. when at this point it's not. i'm not saying it never will be. but at this point it's simply not the

at a celebration after being sworn in as a new congresswoman from michigan, rashida tlaib renewed her for impeachment with the "f" word. >> when your son looks at you and says, "mama, look, you won. bullies don't win." i said, "baby, we don't. we're going to go in and impeach the [ bleep ]. ". >> reporter: fallout felt from around washington from the white house to the capitol. highlighting a divide over the wisdom of impeachment. >> i'm convinced that impeachment is not dead. >> reporter: house judiciary chairman jerry nadler is trying to put the brakes on the impeachment talk. >> i don't like the language. i disagree with what she said. it is too early to talk about that intelligently. >> reporter: it's one of the first and perhaps most consequential tests for democrats in the new era of divided government. speaker nancy pelosi has repeatedly called impeachment premature. yet she's not ruling it out. >> we have to wait and see what happens with the mueller report. we shouldn't be impeaching for a political reason. we can shouldn't avoid impeachment for a political reason. >> reporte

>> my sister and colleague rashida tlaib is certainly a little bit more colorful than i am, and morenate, but i do know that there has been incredible evidence that makes us to believe that impeachment is inevitable, and i have said over and over again that we don't really need to start a process. that process is starting itself. and everything that we have seen from the day that this president has gotten inaugurated to today tells us that this president's not going to be able to finish his term. >> do you believe that should happen before the mueller investigation concludes its findings or after? >> we have to really do our due diligence. so it is important for us to look into what that investigation produces. and make sure that we are really caring for the health and the well-being of this nation, and so we must follow due process. >> let me turn now to another important story. one affecting hundreds of thousands of americans. the government shutdown. in a recent interview you said that the government shouldn't be shut down over what you called trump's "fantasy wall." i'm curious t

representative rashida tlaib is the first palestinianian woman and first of two muslim women electedss. she previously served three terms in the state house. congresswoman elissa slotkin served in a variety of roles at the pentagon during the obama administration. had two years of acting assistant defense secretary. prior to that she worked in the u.s. intelligence community including spending time in iraq with jobs in the cia, the national security couldn't sishl -- counsel and state department. and haley stevens worked for obama administration auto industry bail out. she created job training programs. her colleagues elected her as one of the two co-presidents of the freshman class. new congress, new leaders. watch it all on c-span. >>> two days after being sworn in, new wyoming governor mark gordon delivered his first state of the state of address in cheyenne. the former state treasurer called for more spending restraint and talked about boosting wyoming's coal industry through more exports. the republican governor spoke for about a half hour. [ cheers and applause ] >>> thank you.

. >> i want to turn to a comment from rashida tlaib.he president said her comment, it's time to impeach the mfer. president trump is not known as a delicate flower with his language. he's sworn quite a bit. take a listen to some of it. >> we're going to knock the [ bleep ] out of isis. going to knock the [ bleep ] out of them. and you can tell them to go -- themselves. you're not going to raise that [ bleep ] price. you understand me? listen you [ bleep ], we're going to tax you 25%. >> does president trump think that he has played any role in the course setting of our national discourse? >> no. >> he doesn't? >> people can be coarse as this member of congress was. i was glad to see some of my former democrat colleagues distance themselves from that kind of language. the president does use coarse language in private with us. >> those were public. >> i recognize that. i don't think anybody blames the president for the coarsening of the language of the -- >> you don't think anybody in the country blames the president? >> you probably do b

what's captivating people so much that rashida tlaib said impeach the mother blanker?, our frashmen class is getting attention because we're the largest, most diverse freshmen class in generations. and i think some of us are -- have a lot to say that's of interest to the american people. but i think, look, it's very important that we maintain a distinction between what's trivial and what's important in america right now. what's important is that we had a presidential campaign in 2016 that was inviting the help of a foreign power while the presidential candidate was doing real estate deals in a country. whether a new democrat uses a bad word to describe that, that's trivial. the government shutdown is important. what we're going to do to reopen the government is important. the debate about border security is important and about healthcare. and i think that's where the attention of the media should be. >> you brought up the russia investigation, i just want to point out one of the things we did learn last week is that. grand jury who's been sitting in the case in the rus
