the democrats did not take the house back because of the aocs and the omars and the talibs of the worldecause about 36 to 40 moderate to centrist democrats who ran in swing districts, these ideas are too far left for most of those districts, and at the end of the day, i think voters are going to look at this and realize, these guys are part of the majority that's actually moment proemting these ideas. i think the democrats should be concerned about the house as well in 2020. >> ned, i don't disagree with you about the fact that we as democrats won gerrymandering republican districts in 2018. however, i do fundamentally disagree with you about how we talk about policy in 2020. what you and i probably both agree is that president trump will not want to have a serious policy debate. he will make it all about personality, in which he -- >> no, i disagree. >> which he did in 2016. however, i do think that democrats, that we can do both, we can talk about progressive policy, a progressive policy prescription but talk about it in such a way that they connect with voters all across the country,

i want you to hear what talib had to say about this. >> this past week, i feel and i know this wouldbe somewhat shocking for some, but i think islamophobia is very much among the democratic party as well as the republican party. >> we talked a lot of the republicans' role in all of this. here is one of your colleagues who is muslim saying the democratic party has a problem with islamophobia. >> there has been -- right after she said on the other side of the aisle there has been some republicans who have utilized some very similar language as what my colleague has. it's bad. the language is hurtful to my jewish friends. there were some others on the republican side of the aisle who used the same language and yet the same venom and the same had not been pointing at them, calling them out for the kind of language, anti-semitism language that they utilized. you heard what recently happened with king. it's not only king. there are other individuals there. and then to close your eyes which is worse. dr. king said we will have to pay for not the bad acts, but for the silence of the good peo

i want to ask you about congress m congresswoman rashida talib because -- democrat leaders are not theree you going to back the impeachment resolution? >> here's the reason, most of mueller's investigation has been done confidentially. the southern district of new york has been done c confidentially. the american public doesn't have all of the facts and evidence. >> is she jumping the gun then? >> i would prefer that we build the case and have the evidence. she's a member of congress and she has a point of view and has the right to introduce whatever she want, but i think the vast majority of the caucus is going to follow nancy pelosi's lead, build a case, build evidence and as we build that case you may have republicans show deep concern for laws that were violated and broken, and then we should from seed after those investigations are done accident reports are there, and then we can answer what the consequences should be. >> do you worry when she's pushing this impeachment process that it reflects on democrats more generally? it certainly gives republicans something to seize on and say

talib, one minute. the chair: the gentlelady from michigan is recognized for one minute. ms. talib: thank you so much, mr. speaker. today i rise in support of h.r. 1, for the people act. h.r. 1 will restore our democracy. we need a comprehensive bill, mr. chairman, that takes action on what the people sent us to congress to do, to work on their behalf, to ensure that government is truly for, by, and of the people. and we must demand it immediately. we know that today many people, especially those at home in my congressional district in the 13th, various communities of color across this country, continue to face voter disenfranchisement while trying to exercise their right to vote and make their voices heard. we must acknowledge this injustice and remedy it immediately. when it comes to the office of the president, vice president and the appointees and the reaffirmation of the requirement to divest from business interests. we do that with h.r. 1 and i commend my colleague requiring that language for the executive branch, trading individual stocks and so forth. the chair: the g

that all the democrats' trouble comes down to representatives ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar and rashida talib's easy for them to disrupt and distract. >> the remarks that have been made by a number of democrats and failed to be called out by democrat leadership is, frankly, abhorrent. >> reporter: more moderate members acknowledge some colleagues can take them off message. >> these are not the priorities of the swire caucus, but -- entire caucus. >> reporter: the hype about some of the very left ideas such as the green new deal has put some members in an awkward spot. >> the caucus actually moved to the center. now, you wouldn't get that sense watching the media coverage. >> reporter: behind the scenes, plenty of tension and bickering, and a split at the top with speaker pelosi wanting her party to vote no, and her lieutenants telling them to vote how they must. the house republican leader says the extreme left has taken over. >> the democrat socialist wing of the party controls their own leadership. >> reporter: speaker nancy pelosi telling "the washington post" she does not favor impeaching
