one of those it dianne feinstein feinstein, and john mccain, and they joined forces on cbs this morning, and called for u.s. special force toss deploy to yemen and possibly other areas in the region. mccain said this could be tough for americans to swallow, but he said there needs to be american boots on the ground maybe not combat troops but more americans need to get engaged. mean time feinstein said what the president just said isn't enough that intelligence sharing will not cut it. her fix is putting more americans in yemen to collect more intelligence from the ground there. this is happening at the same time that the president wants congress to authorize the military campaign guess isis. so he's walking a fine line here. >> thank you, erin. >>> guess what? or fareed zacarias sits down with the president this week. >>> what can we expect from yemen next? joining any super london is farwa georges. all right. good to see you professor. the president wants diplomatic efforts to keep going in and known to be -- the yemeni president is being pushed out. how much of a setback is this for

they also think about dianne feinstein feinstein's seat.ere's a pretty good chance she won't run for another term in 2018. at least one other position will be opening up with jerry brown's seat. and maybe dianene feinstein's as well. i don't think there's going to be any chance that harris and newsome will run against each other. they share the same base and even the same political consultant. that's probably not in the cards. they'll sit down, figure out who, if either one of them is going to run in the senate and the other will wait around and run for senate in 2018 or the governorship. my guess is it's more likely of the two that harris will run for the harsenate in 2016. >> if you want to go all the way up to the top of the white house, it's better to run from a governor's office than a senate office. >> it's kind of odd. it didn't used to be that way. it's been that way in recent years. yeah, that's a possibility. a lot of it is just kind of pred prediliction. do you want to sit in the senate and make speeches and do legislation or run

senator dianne feinstein says the charges are unnecessary. feinsteinas a mistake. but he shouldn't face criminal charges for it. >>:i don't know whether he directly gave material to her or not. i know she had access to classified data by her own classification, so, it's murky. but, be that as it may it's done. it's over, and he's retired. he's lost his job. i mean, how much does government want?" >>vicki liviakis:republican senators john mccain and lindsey graham also spoke out against the d-o-j investigation this week calling it "grievously mishandled." the guantanamo bay prison has been a hot button issue over the years. the u-s has transferred a number detainees from the prison recently. as president barack obama tries to achieve his goal of closing the facility. now. the joint chiefs of staff chairman. general martin dempsey. is weighing in. during a recent interview. dempsey said he believes the prison should be closed. >>: i believe i am part of the group said believes that the guantanamo bay prison should be closed for national security reasons

. >> i know there was speculation dianne feinstein might be the first one to retire. is that even still possible? >> well feinstein's term is up in four years, and at that point dianne feinstein will be 85 years old. she'll have a rash of decisions to make as well most important of which is whether she decides to run for yet another committee, if she does she'll be 91 so the age issue will be more important with someone like dyne feinstein. people don't realize we have the three biggest offices in the state, which have been bottled up with incumbents for years, in some cases decades, now all are up for grabs. >> larry, thank you ever so much for joining us. i know you'll be on at 5:00 and 6:00 as well with more comments. thank you, larry. >> after senator boxer's announcement announcement, "senator boxer has been a champion for california her entire career growing up in california and now representing alameda and contra costa counties, i've long admired senator boxer's accomplishments and leadership. thanks to senator boxer air and water are cleaner, energy greener, and economy has grown." >> nancy pelosi was addres

techniques which haven't been used for eight years, senator dianne feinstein be trade the cia as a rogue operation. your reaction? >> senator dianne feinstein knows very well that she is being not just disingenuous but dishonest. of course you don't water board someone and have him say usama bin laden will be standing on a corner of winslow, ariz. tomorrow at 6:53 p.m.. it is not like that. that is not our intelligence works. it works by you get connections. invest mosaic as its vast puzzle together and good instincts as well sometimes in tuition and it can be a process that has with usama bin laden takes years. i can promise from my friends within the system information we got from those enhanced interrogation techniques absolutely were critical to stopping terrorist attacks and getting usama bin laden period. lou: i would be terribly disappointed if friends in the intelligence community, dianne feinstein's or anyone was telling us which intelligence was important, which terrorism detainee was important. i would rather that remain a matter of covert, covert possession. the idea of moving the clandestine service into a squalid partisan proj
