ms. feinstein: ok. written to one of my questions, it was question question number 7, two american citizens apprehended, the article stated this are being held as enemy combatants and may s. transferred to iraqi here's the question i asked in writing, what is the legal status of an american apprehended while fighting in syria? should that individual be returned to the united states for trial and held as an enemy combatant and you said i'm not familiar with the facts of these individuals or their detention. i'm committed to identifying and considering all legally available options and pursuing the options that best protect national security and the liberty interests of americans. well, much more has been said in the press about these two people. what is your view today? >> i don't know it would be any different. mr. demers: i don't know the facts of this case. my view is in general folks who are detained on the battlefield or captured on the battlefield can be detained by the u.s. armed forces. but the q

ms. feinstein -- you know, how many? sarah: there could be a or nine democrats interested in the seat. ed: and others running for governor or the senate or potentially just retiring. if they hold on it is because they think the party has a chance of capturing the majority and their further influence would be restored, but it remains a concern because new remembers who could be in washington for awhile, they are leaving because they realize it is not worth sticking around. sarah: we saw nancy pelosi respond to this after the last election, creating more positions for some of the newer members to rise up, but it does not sound like it is enough. john: in terms of what is enough, what did you get the sense of from the congresswoman on what will be enough by 2018? what do the house democrats need to deliver on? sarah: she sounded like she was talking about new positions. i covered her race and she has been talking about this for years. was saying what she about expanding the field for candidates from the beginning. and i watched the last time she was on the program and she was talking abou

ms. feinstein for giving me the opportunity to testify. i am 28 years old and a recipient of the deferred action for childhood arrivals program and among the 800,000 individuals approved for this program. the united states has been my home for 27 years. i considered myself an undocumented american. a proud californian and most recently a new yorker. i am currently studying medicine at the school of medicine at mount sinai in new york city and after graduation i intent to work in underserved communities as a doctor here in the united states. my family and i settled in fremont, california from mexico in 1990. i was less than a year old. i took my first steps in a two bed room apartment where i lived most of my childhood. before i started school, i was so eager to speak in english i would call my family over the phone. i volunteered to teach second graders how to read. while attending college at uc berkeley my situation was difficulty. commuting an hour to school and lacking documents to participate in activities. we lived in a non-descriptiv

ms. feinstein. as president george w. bush said, that bill was quote an important step toward immigration reform, end quote. why? because the secured fence act was an effort to restore people's trust in the integrity of the law enforcement system by taking the real steps to have border security. as recently as 2010, both democrats and republicans agreed that the only constitutional action that could be taken was for congress to act. president obama, himself, summed it up best when he said that he quote was not a king, end of quote, and was, quote, again, obliged to execute the law, and can't just make the laws himself, end of quote. to paraphrase, novelist t.h. whi white, a king president obama was not, but a king he decided to be. in june of 2012, he decided to bi-pas the constitution, and use his words pen and phone to create daca, a large-scaled executive action to authorize legal immigrants. and not only did he sustain deportation, but he allowed the rescipients to apply for work permit. they did in hundreds of thousa

ms. feinstein, governor jerry brown, and nancy pelosi has been in power for more than a generation. party leaders are debating how to respond to president trump after hillary clinton's feet last year. in feinstein is viewed washington as someone who is partisan.d not overly next to topeka, kansas mary. go ahead. caller: yes, i was calling about what president trump is doing. i agree with him. going to court to argue about the birth-control mandate. this will not affect most women. small groupfect a of people, and it will allow other religious groups not getting bullied into violating their conscience. it bothered me that the obama administration and so many in the media thought it was ok to bully people who do not have the same beliefs as the secular government that we have. they were getting bullied into violating their conscience, and they had to go to court to be harassed by our federal government. it was really bothersome to me. if we cannot have freedom of religion, a group of nuns were attacked by the federal government, then how can i say i have religious freedom when the gove

ms. feinstein: i had a briefing last week by outside technical experts and i saw really for the first time how effectively russia has harnessed the tremendous and, quite frankly to me, frightening power of social media. they showed us how millions of americans are reached and how russia's successfully used fake accounts to imbed itself, to shape and manipulate opinion and actions. so it shouldn't be news to anyone that russia interfered in the election. what is really staggering and hard to fully comprehend is how easily and successfully they turned modern technologies to their advantage. russia used covert cyberattacks to obtain and release information to impact the election, as well as propaganda campaigns that relied heavily on r.t. formerly russia today. the state-run television network. and the internet research agency. a group of professional trolls reportedly financed by a close putin ally with ties to russian intelligence. documents and information that we have received from facebook, 2013 and google confirm this -- twitter and google confirm this. just a few more facts. facebook h

pelosi has said -- and i take her at her word, i take dianne feinstein at her word when she says if she had 51 votes in the senate for mr. and msturn in your guns, they would do it. the underlying agenda never changes. hillary clinton lost, but she gets an award for hypocrisy, because she will never spend a moment, a breath without armed security surrounding her for the rest of her life. she'll never dial 191, she'll never live in a high crime area, but her life is no more valuable than the single mom living in chicago working the late shift who owns a gun and wants to carry it to defend herself. chris: i want to pick up on that, and i'm going to throw a little bit of a monkey wrench at the control room, because i'm going to play an earlier bite. you and i talked earlier this weekend, and you said that you want to have a sensible conversation about gun control. wayne lapierre, the head of nra, talked this week, and i want to play a clip. >> one thing the american public always knows is the elites always protect themselves, and they always protect themself with guns. and then they lecture the american public how you shouldn't do
