dianne feinstein was the author of the assault weapons ban. there are tens of thousands of people walking the streets who would have been dead. we don't know who they are. but it happened. but unfortunately, they plucked holes in that legislation. we stand for universal background checks. we stand for assault weapons dealing with assault weapons. and we stand for protection orders. and those are the three issues and i talked to some students and some others who i've met that we are going to push and push and push until we get them done. because you inspire us but more importantly it's a necessity, a necessity in america, to try and deal with this. we will fight hard to do it.

feinstein, senator dianne feinstein, she was jumping for joy out of her seat, resubmit her ban on a number of semiautomatic weapons. i have talked to a number of nra members saying we are willing to give the president a pass on the number of things but the second amendment and caving to the emotions of this, the do something attitude, when this was a failure at the local level in the federal level. it's a redline for us. >> bret: i am cynical on the political thing. the positioning of dianne feinstein could be trouble for her. how close are you to donald trump? there's all kinds of plays. >> i don't know if this plays into primary politics. i am old enough to remember when one of the number one talking points against barack obama and hillary clinton and bill clinton was the democrats are going to come and illegally seize your goods. yesterday the president of the united states sat there and said seize the guns first. due process later. a republican president has gone further talking about illegally seizing firearms than any democratic president has. >> bret: mike, ten seconds. do so

dianne feinstein is still leading some 30 points in the polls. everyone in california obviously gets to vote. so i mean, does she actually lose? possibly not. but the bigger question is, the future direction of this party is in races that are not involving someone that's already run and won statewide like dianne feinstein has and has such name brand identity in the state. and that gives her an advantage. but it's the other coming races where it's looks as though the progressive movement is becoming -- paul: if feinstein loses, that's an earthquake. even if deleon comes close, that will have a big effect on the mentality of democrats in washington and certainly in the presidential race. >> yeah, that's right. as we have been discussing here, the division seems to be between what you might call heartland democrats, middle of the country, which are economic populists versus the coastland democrats. coastal democrats which i'm going to start calling los angeles -- >> gentry liberals. >> they are in gender, race, intersectionality -- that's in the art

senator dianne feinstein in the upcoming june primary. it they discussed the primary and the future of the democratic party in california. this washington journal interview as part of c-span's 50 capitals tour. he is talking out of both sides of his mouth. host: we are going to have to leave it there and want to introduce you to the chair of the california democratic party. mr. bauman, i am sure you heard that call. i do not think lynn is one of your constituents. but how would you respond to her? guest: i would start off by saying of course she is one of my constituents. the california democratic party cares for every californian, not just in the credits. we believe california is the most welcoming place in america. we believe this is a place where people have the opportunity to have success, to have a good life, and to survive, thrive, and do well. individually, i understand people's complaints. but i will tell you that right now we have the lowest rate of uninsured californians ever in the history of this state, 4.4%. thriving.y is we

why did you you decide to run against senator dianne feinstein? >> i believe that we are long overdue to have a debate on the values and the issues and the priorities that we as californians care about. i believe it is time to have a voice not on the sidelines, but on the front lines. and politicians are going to be prone to hyperbole whether on the right or the left or or points in between, but these are historic times, and very dangerous times in the nation. i believe that we need a strong voice to move the agenda, and improve the condition for all individuals regardless of who you are, and where you come from. >> if you want to participate in the conversation this morning, 748-8 748-80000 for residents in california and 8001 for any other residents. senator de leon is going to be our guest for the next 20 minutes or so. senator, has dianne feinstein not represented the state well in your view? >> well, let me say that i respect senator feinstein's commitment to service as the representative in washington. this is not personal. it is again about

. >> dianne feinstein is 85 and she's sticking it out. this woman is 29 and she's going to spend time with her family? what family. i'm sorry. it sounds like the thing you do when you've been sacked. i've got to spend more time with my family. >> everyone is fleeing the ship. they cannot get anyone else to replace them. not only was jared stripped of his clearances, but all these other white house aides. now they don't have anyone who can do the basic block attack for the white house. as many mistakes as they've made, expect far more because they don't have anyone who can help him. >> they always say you don't make new friends at the white house. i'm wondering if at the meets anybody who could be the next flack for him. the fifth communications director trying to explain him to the country. he does what he wants to do, and by 7:30 in the morning you have to explain what he meant at 6:30 in the morning when he got the times and started rattling off his thoughts. i'm giving you credit. >> it's a thankless job. the reason why hope hicks is t

dianne feinstein. mayor ed lee died unexpectedly in december. the election to choose his replacement is on june 5th. of the eight candidates, six are women. >>> you're never more than 7 minutes away. let's talk about the drought monitor. came out yesterday about an hour after this time. i want to make sure you notice that nothing really happened, even with the great soaking we had, we stopped the dry weather from spreading. look at l.a., the red blip is the second highest drought level. if you live in santa rosa and north of novato, that's about the only area in the bay that's not dry, which is our lowest category for drought. all right. the weekend rain helps. no. look at this. less than a tenth of an inch of rain. it's shifting more to the south. so this is going to continue to get a little bit worse as we get deeper into next week with when all that heavier rain is coming in. we'll talk more about that in a half hour. >> good morning, mike. the visibility layer on top of our traffic maps. the way to look at this, the brighter the white, the d

interesting, sitting next dianne feinstein, and you had manchin and toomey who had come up with some interesting legislation, then the president kind of hits toomey and says, you are afraid of the nra. i don't think toomey seems to be afraid of the nra on most any issue that i know of. >> i think that's right. and toomey -- i don't remember the exact words. toomey had a pretty good comeback. it will go on the books as president attacking republican senator, but i think it was something the world won't remember. >> laura: ron, congressman, on the issue of this meeting at the white house, twitter blew up, social media blew up, people watching this didn't know what the president was advocating, and at one point, dianne feinstein said, what are we going to do about these weapons of war, and he basically seemed to say, well, we should look at that too, and then it may be either an all-out pan -- it was difficult to follow. she seemed to be rubbing her hands together and saying, oh, goody. maybe this was all a show. i know you and i are big fans of the president, but this was a wild thing.

. >> dianne feinstein today came out with another call for the assault weapons ban, which was in effect for 10 years, she came out with numbers showing just how affective it was. there were a lot fewer gun deaths during that time period. but what happened in florida was interesting. they did pass some gun legislation there. they're a republican majority legislation there. the governor signed it. they raised the age. the nra fought it tooth and nail, they're still against it, but it passed. i guess it shows something can be done. >> something can be done. and what you have to like about people, young people particularly getting out and having an opinion about this is that it can change. what happens is politicians are actually left alone in these arguments a lot of times. the only people arguing are the proponents for not passing legislation, and it's very, very intense. i've personally felt it in past years. they target people, and they make it very rough for you to talk about controlling guns. and because of that, nobody is standing up on the other side, oftentimes. >> we are out of ti

now democratic senator dianne feinstein sounding the alarm about the president's cia direct orpik. i want to bring in cnn congressional correspondent sunlen serfaty. tell us what senator feinstein wants to see. what information does she want to find out. >> she wants information about gina haspel's time at the cia in the past. her role in overseeing some bush-era interrogation tactics. the fact she ran a quote/unquote black site prison. so dianne feinstein is writing a letter to haskell and the cia calling for them to declassify documents that detail her role. the senator saying she wants a full accounting of haspel's role, a complete involvement in the picture of her involvement as they consider her nomination to be at the top of the cia. >> and what are rand paul's concerns? >> he has the same concerns. he said he wants a full accounting of what role she played. yesterday he was on capitol hill likening her role to that program as a role in torture. he called her a cheerleader for waterboarding. rand paul not only voicing concerns and saying i want to blank he will vote against h

that was -- first of all, would adding dianne feinstein's ban on some semiautomatic weapons, would that help your bill? >> no. it would not help our bill at all. >> it would kill it? >> i told dianne that. i'm not taking guns away. there's not a law-abiding gun owner in america that doesn't believe if you go to a gun show and you go on the internet you need to know, through a commercial transaction, who the person is and what their intent, what their background. that's all. we protected all the rights of law-abiding gun owners. our bill is basically crafted that basically accepts a law-abiding gun owner doing the things we've done in our culture but making sure that the bad person or the terrorist that advertises on the internet says go down to the gun show and get whatever you want. that needs to be closed. that should be the base bill we work with. >> we covered this extensively in 2013 when you and senator toomey introduced it. the nra lobbying it heavily against it. president trump on wednesday, that was him you just heard him right there, the next day he met with three of the top l

well, the democratic party did not take a stance, and we have a great senator in dianne feinstein, and kevin dele own r party has not taken a position, i don't take a personal position, but i will work to to make sure that california is represented by a strong democrat in the united states government. >> is there a minor the ti in the wake? >> well, the media's favorite top sick to talk about the discord of the democratic party, but we had the convention and an incredible place to be and the amount of energy and positivity there, and all of the lead-in stories of the discord there would be, and there was not any. people battled over which candidate to support, but we were intense in preparing for r the election season. we believe that california is the big blue beacon of hope, nda we can elect democrats from one end to another, and figured out how to make it work here, and we will help the brothers and sissers in the neighboring states to have the same successes, because we have the luxury of doing that. >> eric baughman is a registered nurse and he spent -- >> wait a second. lett me b

feinstein who's the top democrat on the senate judiciary committee in the u.s. news reports of cambridge analytical abuse of private face to influence the twenty six election is very disturbing the senate judiciary committee needs to fully investigate the matter so all we've heard from facebook so far is the statement denying any wrongdoing and also kind of laying the burden of responsibility on these uses these two hundred seventy thousand users who are in the very beginning downloaded or gave. personality access to their profile what they didn't know is there were two hundred seventy spiraled to become fifty million because these people probably didn't realize that they were giving this access to their friends list and their information to have someone on the show last night saying that it was in the fine print the people agreed to but no one reads the fine print anyway how users however they've been reacting to these stunning reports will at the moment delete facebook is a hash tag that's trending not on facebook but on twitter people are saying look this is

why they didn't pass the wall or do what dianne feinstein said, they knew it would never happen so they played to it. >> melissa: that was fun. president trump now threatening to use the new trade deal with south korea as leverage for the negotiations of north korea. plus jeff sessions denying at least for now, g.o.p. requests for a special counsel to probe alleged abuse in the fbi, including their handling of investigations into hillary clinton. what else the ag is doing and whether it will get answers to so many questions. >> he left the door open for second special counsel and i continue to believe that is necessary. your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. today's senior living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. and there's never been an easier way to get great ad

. >> dianne feinstein got in a spirited back and forth with the president. details now with heather. >> 17 senators and representatives came to the white house for that hour long gun summit. at times the president clashed with republicans in the room and seemed to side more with democrats. it was the furtherest he's gone yet in endorsing stricter gun measures. >> you have to be very powerful on background checks. don't be shy. very strong on mentally ill. you have to be very strong with that. don't worry about bump stock, we're getting rid of it. you don't have to complicate the bill by adding another paragraphs. we're getting rid of it. i'll do that myself. >> the president stuck to his original endorsement of arming teachers and behind his support for raising the legal age to buy rifles and extend background checks for gun buyers. at one point california senator dianne feinstein spoke up when the president seemed unaware of accessibility of assault weapons in many states. >> mr. president, what do we do about weapons of war easily accessible on the streets

dianne feinstein has been through this before. in a similar televised-style meeting in the white house, she got the president to agree to a standalone daca bill before republicans and john kelly pulled donald trump away from that democratic position. senator feinstein is not naive, she knows what is likely to happen. but she also knows it is a senator's job to never give up, to never give up hope that there can be some progress, even minor progress. even in the age of trump. the job of senator done well is never easy. but in the age of trump, the job of being a democratic senator has never been more difficult. never. the easiest thing for democratic senators to do in the room with the president today would be to attack him, to show how much smarter they are than he is. but the democrats didn't do that, they chose professionalism over grandstanding. in the very slim hope that they might actually get donald trump to sign something, the slim hope that donald trump might force the republicans in the house and the senate to take a baby

[laughter] >> jesse: the justice department let them both off the hook. that's fine. this is a perfect example of media bias. this is a woman who's about to shatter the glass ceiling. so she should be praised by the left-wing media. but instead she is trying to be railroaded because she was nominated by a republican. the media for years has been saying that women should be celebrated because they are playing in the big boys leg and they are tough and we need tough, women who can take the fight to people. now we actually have a woman like that homemade terrorists whine and whimper and they are trying to attack her. >> greg: you know it scares me. i think democrat husbands are going to tell their wives not a supporter, they want because they are so subs

but i think dianne feinstein said she was supportive of gina. that is a big deal. i heard that in the halls here in congress. so if that is indeed the case, that would portend that a confirmation process could be done in a swift way. but i'm sure there's going to be a lot of questions and gina is prepared. she knows her stuff. i'm looking forward to working with her as the first female director of the cia. >> harris: all right. your words, "learning curve with mike pompeo not as steep". william hurd, we wanted to get you on the program for a while. thank you very much. appreciate your time. >> it's a pleasure. let's do it again soon. >> all right. hi stakes showdown for a house seat -- i almost said a hot seat -- i guess it is, too. in pennsylvania. many analysts say this election. and president trump said he made the decision to rex tillerson on his own and denied reports of any chaos on his team. could there be more changes coming? our political panel he weigh-in. stay close. >> as far as rex tillerson is concerned, i very much appreciate his commitment, his serv

senator, has dianne feinstein not represented california well in your view? let me say this. i respect senator feinstein's as ourent to service representative in washington. this is not personal. the values of a state that has changed dramatically and a court or century. this is about the issue of health care and making sure all businesses have access to quality health care. this is an issue of making solid investments for debt-free color -- college education for students settled with debt upon graduation, or those who take six or seven years to graduate, because of high costs. this is about comprehensive immigration reform and the young dreamers whose lives are in peril today because of this administration. i was say because of these perilous times for our nation, especially for a state like california, there is no time for conciliation, no time for patients and crossing our coulds, and wishing we have a good president. it is time for a solid debate. it is good to have choices. ultimately, the people in california will decide. you mentioned choices. california is essentially

dianne feinstein, even maxine waters cad wow said no smoke, no fire. it's because there was never any evidence of collusion. it was always a hoax. the fbi knew this but nevertheless, they tried to be really clever. they launched a counterintelligence probe which gave them more latitude and they used that as a pretext to investigate donald trump as a criminal and his associates. and all of these accusations, by the media and by democrats, with their hair on fire, amounted to nothing. carter page giving a speech in moscow, the trump tower meeting with a russian lawyer. bartok with papadopoulos. >> sean: four way hearsay. four by! >> all of these things are not crimes. collusion and a criminal company and is not criminal. there is not a crime to talk to a russian. these are all normal interactions that occur if you are a u.s. senator, jeff sessions,th or you have contacts with foreign governments during political campaigns. it was never collusion. >> sean: i want to ask you about rod rosenstein.ht his message tonight really ticks me off. let me go to sara
