meddle in our upcoming midterm elections as well. you just reported there that on the congressional side, tony, just reporting that zuckerberg is probably going to be called to testify. the senator, the vice chair of the committee, also saying he wants zuckerberg to testify. are we going to start seeing more of a focus? you re talking about facebook now, but are we going to start seeing more of a focus on other social media companies? the political heat has been turned up on the whole of silicon valley. this goes back to last year s election. when we had folks on the house and senate committee beginning to ask questions about russian misinformation that had been spread online. and the role of companies like facebook, google and twitter at stopping that misinformation. all of the tech companies have announced add number of steps ahead of the elections. it s unclear if those checks are going to be in place by then.
okay, because you re not that far away. many of the things mentioned ought to be a part of the negotiations regarding comprehensive immigration reform. if you want to take it a step further. i m going to have to rely on you. you may complicate it and you may delay daca somewhat. i don t want to do that. no. you said at the outette set, need to phase this. i think the first step, we have a deadline at the moment and a lot of lives hanging. we can agree on some very fundamental and important things together on border security. comprehensi comprehensive, though. i worked on it for six months with michael bennett and a number bob menendez and schumer and mccain and jeff flake and it took us six months to put it together. we don t have six months for the daca look at the bill on the well, you mention add number of factors that are going to be controversial, as steny mentioned.
alabama. what did you learn in doug jones victory that says, okay, this is how the dnc needs to operate in places like in alabama that isn t necessarily as open to democratic, to base democratic policies all the time? well, you know, the reality is, we have a lot of work to do to make sure that the democratic party in alabama and elsewhere is firing on all cylinders. there s no denying that. what we did in alabama is, i think leadership is about humility. about understanding you re part of the team. we were part of team jones and what we did early on is to say, doug, how can we be helpful? and if someone who s prosecute add number of cases down in alabama, i understand that folks from washington coming in guns a-blazing con specks with is not the way to do it. so we were quiet, working with grass roots leaders, faith
i think the bigger concern is just because the military asks the president to do something, he should not always say yes. that s a concern. if someone has served in the military like i have, i trust a lot of my generals. but if you give too much power to the military, they will a lot of times advocate for the strongest use of force and sometimes that s not what you need. in this case, it may be. but in other cases like we have seen some of the civilian casualties that happened in mosul, it could create say theation where sloppiness occurs and innocent civilians are killed because of collateral damage. we ve add number of experts say that maybe this is sending a message to north korea. in their estimation they think this is much more about the war in afghanistan. but at the same time, if kim jong-un is seeing this, this is sending some sort of message, right? well, right. i think also do we want to send a message? i think the most important thing right now when you re dealing with a
