joining me now is democratic congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, who introduced the resolution that, congresswoman. your resolution to strip representative green of her committee assignments passed by 230-199 vote. in a statement about the resolution passing you write, quote, a member cannot represent and respect this institution while also calling for violence against those who serve inside it. so now she has no committee assignments but is still a member of the house and a colleague of yours. what are the personal concerns you yet have? >> well, i'm thankful that the majority of the members of the house of representatives recognized that it was absolutely unsearchable for marjorie taylor greene to be a member of any committee in the house of representatives but particularly of the education committee. just to recap for your viewers, reverend al, marjorie taylor greene advocated for a bullet to be the quickest end to speaker nancy pelosi. >> right. >> she suggested that both sandy hook and the modern mass shootings were a hoax. so you just can't have a members of congress who advoc

i'm very pleased that others -- and i commend debbie wasserman schultz for taking the lead on upholding our oath in office, protect the constitution, and not only that, to uphold the spirit of standard for the house of representatives that respects the institution in which we serve and does no harm to it institutionally or to our members, staff, visitors personally. with that, i'll be pleased to take any questions. let me see. let me see. reporter: thank you, madam speaker. i have a question and i have a question from one of the reporters who is unable to be here today. first, looking ahead to the impeachment trial -- speaker pelosi: is that an announcement you will have two questions? reporter: yes, ma'am. speaker pelosi: go ahead. reporter: looking ahead to the impeachment trial. it will be one month since the attack on the capitol, the former president is long gone. there are plenty of people who say, why bother, why go through this entire exercise, what do you say to them? speaker pelosi: well, i appreciate that question. it seems to me that the answer is self-evident. again, we're

>> reporter: a group of democrats led by representative debby wasserman schultz to force a privileged resolution of condemning her and something that would strip her of her two new committee assignments on education committee and the budget committee. democrats are saying this will put pressure on mccarthy, on republicans to do something about it. it's noticeable that mccarthy has publicly been much more critical of liz chaney for voting to impeach donald trump than he has on marjorie taylor greene for what she has been doing in past few weeks and beyond that. democrats are preparing to make this a big campaign issue regardless of what happens on the floor in congress. they are pointing to the fact she will be the face of the republican party whether republicans like it coming into the mid term elections in 2022. they are betting that's a big loser for republicans in the midterm elections. >> yeah. just as you're talking, we were showing some b roll of her. she's wearing mask that said trump won. i feel the need to fact check that because he did not. many of these supporters were tryi

florida congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz one of the sponsor the against greene says that kind of unchecked. >> if she had honor, of course, she would resign. if she possessed shame, censuring apology might is a fife. exposure is a fitting punishment but takes enough republicans support who aren't morally bankrupt. it is unlikely. reducing the future harm she can cause in congress and denying her a seat at committee tables where fact-daysed policies are enacted, restraint of her influence. >> her comments a slap in the face to the families of the 17 people who lost their lives in the parkland shooting by greene three years ago this more including scott beagle. beloved geography teacher and coach shot while trying to save his students. opening his door to them after running up a staircase to escape the shooter. his mother fought to get footage and wants you to see it. warning. it is very disturbing but important to help discredit people like congresswoman greene who tried to spread lies about that day and i add, there is no audio on this recording.

going to follow it to see exactly how the rules are going to play out but it looks like debbie wasserman schultz, democrat from florida, is pushing through with a privileged resolution to do just that. i think democrats are particularly focused on her seat on the education committee in no small part because of the way she's questioned the events, tragic events that unfolded at sandy hook and parkland. and you see a video of her going after one of the parkland survivors on the street. this is possibly a privileged resolution, which we expect. which means the house would have to take some sort of action, likely hold a vote on it to try to impose some of these consequences. of course, we should point out we expect the minority leader, kevin mccarthy, to meet with her this week as well. so far no word if they're planning any actions against her, andrea. >> thank you very much, kasie, geoff bennett, jim messina, lanhee chen. >>> and up next, my interview with secretary of state antony blinken. what he has to say about security and restoring security at the state department. >>> and president biden fo

i have contributed against debbie wasserman schultz, against the opponent four years ago, tim canova. believe in an independent congress, that people can stand up to the courage of their convictions. i am going to send him some money today. host: what did you think about kevin mccarthy reportedly standing up last night and making his defense of liz cheney for her to stay in leadership? caller: mccarthy is disgraceful, as far as i'm concerned. i'm going to be writing to bigger field california, to talk about what he has done, thickened -- the corruption he has brought to congress. there are a couple of things that your callers have said. one caller said they had never heard donald trump tell any lies. the washington post meticulously documented 30,000 lies that he told in the four years in office. it is staggering. i am an old timer. i was upset when -- with eisenhower when he denied we had sent the u2 to spy over russia. and that was just one lie. president eisenhower did a lot of good things while in office, but what is happening now is disgraceful. it is intolerable, as far as i am
